Because we had that. The reason GMT exists is because train stations in England all ran on different clocks. The train could leave at 11am and arrive at 10:55 at the next station because the clocks could be that far apart. And that was confusing so they said “hey you know what’s a good idea? Having a coordinated time!”

Going back to that would make things more confusing. You take it for granted that we all use the same calendar. Nobody signs your paycheck using the Chinese calendar, right? You likely agree that the US using the imperial system is silly because wouldn’t the world be in a better place if we all used metric. So why the resistance to this?

Github Copilot had an outage for me this morning. It was kind of shocking. I now believe this metric. :-)

I'll be looking into ways of running a local LLM for this purpose (code assistance in VS Code). I'm already really impressed with various quite large models running on my 32 GB Mac Studio M2 Max via Ollama. It feels like having a locally running chatgpt.
Thanks! I haven't looked at Ansible before
Poor. My M3 Max/128GB is about 20x slower than 4090. For inference it's much better, still much slower than 4090 but it enables working with much larger LLMs albeit at ~10t/s (in comparison, Threadripper 2990WX/256GB does like 0.25t/s). M4 Max is likely going to be ~25% faster than M3 Max based on CPU perf and memory bandwidth.
Steve Jobs was historically against gaming on apple devices and, I believe, went so far as to try to remove them from the Apple Store. Apple is only recently starting to introduce gaming seriously back into the platform.
Kinda crazy, I know post processors cost money for CAM software like masterCAM but didn’t expect you needed to write one for a hobby CNC too. I know fusion360 had a post processing functionality but I think they moved that into the paid version. I miss the fusion360 of 5 years ago.
I think it'll prove far more likely that the government creates incentives to lead Google/other providers to fully do the search on their behalf.

The entire appeal seems to hinge on the fact that Google didn't actually view the image before passing it to NCMEC. Had Google policy been that all perceptual hash hits were reviewed by employees first, this would've likely been a one page denial.
It’s interesting to see a Chinese LLM like DeepSeek enter the global stage, particularly given the backdrop of concerns over data security with other Chinese-owned platforms, like TikTok. The key question here is: if DeepSeek becomes widely adopted, will we see a similar wave of scrutiny over data privacy?

With TikTok, concerns arose partly because of its reach and the vast amount of personal information it collects. An LLM like DeepSeek would arguably have even more potential to gather sensitive data, especially as these models can learn from and remember interaction patterns, potentially accessing or “training” on sensitive information users might input without thinking.

The challenge is that we’re not yet certain how much data DeepSeek would retain and where it would be stored. For countries already wary of data leaving their borders or being accessible to foreign governments, we could see restrictions or monitoring mechanisms placed on similar LLMs—especially if companies start using these models in environments where proprietary information is involved.

In short, if DeepSeek or similar Chinese LLMs gain traction, it’s quite likely they’ll face the same level of scrutiny (or more) that we’ve seen with apps like TikTok.

True. There's no telling if any of the promises or language will translate into action once governing. In normal times, breaking campaign promises would carry consequences for reelection of the candidate (or the candidate's party), but it's anyone's guess if that applies now.

"BYD received a total of 37.1 billion yuan in tax rebates over the five-year period, nearly four times the 9.3 billion yuan it received in subsidies. Additionally, BYD has secured long-term bank loans at interest rates between 2.05% and 2.98%, lower than the one-year prime lending rate of 3.35%, according to the company filings. "

So it sounds like it received 9.3 billion yuan or 1.3 billion USD but it also receives 4x as much in tax rebates.
Somewhat related but FT being $75/month is a bit absurd IMO

Their software game is also quite lacking but I was ready to cut them some slack there due to their superior battery tech.

Yes that is correct, but my position (which perhaps has been poorly-articulated) is that in the non-trivial instances, it is a distinction without difference in the greater context of the RAG stack and related pipelines.

Just allowing for a chunking function to be defined which is called at insertion time doesn't really alleviate the major pain points inherent to the process. Its a minor convenience, but in fact, as pointed out elsewhere in this thread by others, its a convenience you can afford to yourself in a handful of lines of code that you only ever have to write once.

I mean, define recent. Abortion has been protected for many many decades in the US.

Anti-abortion advocacy is rather new, and old-timey at the same time. The arguments more or less haven't changed since the 50s. For the majority of the time since Roe nobody really cared - the American right shifted to other divisive politics. In the past 10 years they shifted back. Not sure why, maybe they felt as a party it was a strategic entry point into the topic of 14th amendment privacy as a whole. Certainly, that seems plausible when individuals such as Justice Thomas have alluded to taking aim at other protections of that nature such as Loving and Obergefell.
I'm fighting the urge to get the M4 Pro model so bad right now.
Yeah.

Honestly, while I 100% agree that the electoral college and gerrymandering are trash, I feel people do use them as mechanism to avoid dealing with the fact that someone like Trump is just genuinely really popular. Next Tuesday he has a decent shot of being the choice of more than 50% of voting Americans. Ultimately any fair system would still give him the presidency in this case.
Excel is great if you don’t care if the answers you get are right. I think about that time I have a talk in NYC where there was an error in a chart because I made it with Excel but only found out when I gave the talk in Ithaca later and had somebody really detail oriented in the audience.

It seems like that is very relevant information that was not considered by the court. If this was a cryptographic hash I would say with high confidence that this is the same image and so Google examined it - there is a small chance that some unrelated file (which might not even be a picture) matches but odds are the universe will end before that happens and so the courts can consider it the same image for search purposes. However because there are many false positive cases there is reasonable odds that the image is legal and so a higher standard for search is needed - a warrant.

Little nitpick about your website.

the " Trusted by" and "Backed and Advised by" scrolling marquee is WAY too fast.

I'm not sure if it's because they scroll in opposite directions or just the speed, but they make me pretty dizzy. I'm not particularly sensitive to these things so I imagine it's even worse for people with motion sensitivity.
The language is defined by how people actually use it, not by how a handful of activists try to prescribe its use. Ask any random person on the street, and most of them have no idea what CSAM is, but they know full well what "child porn" is. Dictionaries, encyclopedias etc also reflect this common sense usage.

The justification for this attempt to change the definition doesn't make any sense, either. Just because some porn is child porn, which is bad, doesn't in any way imply that all porn is bad. In fact, I would posit that making this argument in the first place is detrimental to sex-positive outlook on porn.

I don't disagree with you that it's unfair, but from the perspective of a country without an industry to lose, they have everything to gain from a race to the bottom.

How does a rich, car-exporting country convince a less rich and car-importing country to not buy that inexpensive car from China and instead buy a more expensive one? Tariffs can't address this issue.

> It's not "tethered" if its built into the device.

I understand that. My point is that I think an LTE modem in a laptop might reasonably use far more data than an LTE modem in a phone or tablet. Most people who download and/or upload very large files do so on their computer rather than their mobile devices.
Unlikely? A husband and wife team, where the husband was an executive of a well-known company that made electrical appliances, and the wife cooked rice three times a day using her time-tested method which they translated into a working product together using trial and error. Sounds most likely.
Take a look at the map of campaign stops for the Trump and Harris campaigns. Not exactly covering the broad country. The electoral college sure doesn't seem to be making sure that broad swathes of the country are not ignored.

> Only reason they wouldn't take off outside China is the astronomical tariffs the West are putting on Chinese cars (100% in the US).

They're dumping domestic overproduction on foreign markets. You do that long enough and you can weaken your foreign competitors in their domestic strongholds. This can destroy high-value domestic jobs, lead to atrophy of expertise, and is especially bad to "strategic" sectors of the domestic industrial base.

Tariffs are a tool to protect domestic markets against dumping. Every other nation's automotive companies are free to compete in Western markets because they're not actively engaging in dumping. Their competition strengthens domestic rivals because it is fair and on equal footing.

Australia doesn't care because it doesn't have a domestic automotive industry to protect, so Chinese overproduction is essentially just foreign subsidized stimulus to the Australian population.

Yes, if there is something more valuable to redirect the labor to and my intuition is that there is not, I mean not in the Dropbox business.

That would have been fine, but they also simultaneously cheapened the brand by pushing out models aimed at younger less well heeled buyers. A Mercedes C class (US models) is like a slightly juiced up VW to me. Nice but not special at all.

> How do you handle the date changing in the middle of the day?

In the Jewish and Islamic calendars, the day begins/ends at sunset, and hence the date changes at that point.

Traditionally, (Western) astronomers used the astronomical day, going back to Ptolemy, in which a new day starts at noon. Part of the reason for this was that in pre-modern times it was a lot easier to precisely determine the moment of noon than the moment of midnight. Contemporary astronomy has mostly abandoned that tradition, but it still survives in the definition of Julian dates (but not Modified Julian dates which moved the day boundary to midnight)
This seems like a reasonable explanation until you look at the dynamics of the current Presidential race where Harris has been nonstop HITLER HITLER HITLER and Trump doing the same pro wrestling character he's been playing since the 80's. There's no dynamism on either side.
Not for my use case. Even as someone who's been active in the AR/VR industry for 10 years plus, it's more comfortable for me to look at a screen than it is to wear glasses. I've tried working in xreals, quest 3, with virtual desktop, etc. They're pretty good - just not as good as a monitor or in this case TV. I'm confident over time things will improve and eventually might be on par but there's plenty of use cases where you might want a screen and that will likely persist. Thanks for the question!

The cost is a rate, like $2 per hour, not a purchase price.

So faster CPUs get work done more quickly and may justify a higher cost per hour.

Ah, the graph is wacky, but the text makes sense, looks like a disconnect:

1. C4A Axion: $2.16 reported cost per hour, test took average of 9 seconds per run: cost approximately 0.005 dollars.

2. T2A Ampere Altra: $1.85 reported cost per hour, test took average of 17 seconds per run: cost approximately 0.009 dollars.

3. C4 Xeon Platinum EMR: $2.37 reported cost per hour, test took average of 17 seconds per run: cost approximately 0.011 dollars.

So the C4A costs a bit more ($2.16 vs $1.85) but gets approximately perf/$ is around 2x in favor of the C4A.
> The FBI says yes to both in spite of the fact that we can name no

They have two arguments for this (that I am aware of). The first argument is a practical one, that AI-generated images would be indistinguishable from the "real thing", but that the real thing still being out there would complicate their efforts to investigate and prosecute. While everyone might agree that this is pragmatic, it's not necessarily constitutionally valid. We shouldn't prohibit activities based on whether these activities make it more difficult for authorities to investigate crimes. Besides, this one's technically moot... those producing the images could do so in such a way (from a technical standpoint) that they were instantly, automatically, and indisputably provable as being AI-generated.

All images could be mandated to require embedded metadata which describes the model, seed, and so forth necessary to regenerate it. Anyone who needs to do so could push a button, the computer would attempt to regenerate the image from that seed, and the computer could even indicate that the two images matched (the person wouldn't even need to personally view the image for that to be the case). If the application indicated they did not match, then authorities could investigate it more thoroughly.

The second argument is an economic one. That is, if a person "consumes" such material, they increase economic demand for it to be created. Even in a post-AI world, some "creation" would be criminal. Thus, the consumer of such imagery does cause (indirectly) more child abuse, and the government is justified in prohibiting AI-generated material. This is a weak argument on the best of days... one of the things that law enforcement efforts excel at is just this. When there are two varieties of a behavior, one objectionable and the other not, but both similar enough that they might at a glance be mistaken for one another, is that it can greatly disincentivize one without infringing the other. Being an economic argument, one of the things that might be said is that economic actors seek to reduce their risk of doing business, and so would gravitate to creating the legal variety of material.

While their arguments are dumb, this filth's as reprehensible as anything. The only question worth asking or answering is, were (AI-generated) it legal, would it result in fewer children being harmed or not? It's commonly claimed that the easy availability of mainstream pornography has reduced the rate of rape since the mid-20th century.
My understanding is that most projects that are licensed with GPLv2 actually say that they're licensed for GPLv2 "or any later version" (the Linux kernel being a notable exception). So, you could use GPLv3 instead, which would allow you to just say that the work itself has changed, not the individual files.

So you're saying that I craft a file that has the same hash as a CSAM one, I give it to you, you upload it to google, but it also happens to be CSAM, and I've somehow framed you?

My point is that a hash (granted, I'm assuming that we're talking about a cryptographic hash function, which is not clear) is much closer to "This is the file" than someone actually looking at it, and that it's definitely more proof of them having that sort of content than any other type of evidence.
Very cool! pg_duckdb itself is missing fully integrated storage - it can query data stored externally (say in S3) in delta/iceberg formats, but it can't write out data in those formats via transactional writes to PG tables (insert\update\deletes). pg_mooncacke is one neat way of solving that problem. It lets you have a columnstore table in Postgres that can do both reads and writes as if it's any other PG table and have the storage format be an open format like delta/iceberg/etc with that data persisted to blob store (like most cloud DWs would do anyways).
nice idea! I can definitely incorporate that, But i'm loosing my interest in this because I haven't seen any support I think it won't work what do you think?

Wow, this is an impressive mix of smugness, pretension, and willful ignorance and stupidity.
The courts accept good faith arguments at times. They will give reduced sentences or even none at all if they think you acted in good faith. There are enough situations where it is legal to kill someone that there are laws to make it clear that is a legal situation where one person can kill another (hopefully they never apply to you).

Note that this case is not about ignorance of the law. This is I knew the law and was trying to follow it - I just honestly thought it didn't apply because of some tricky situation that isn't 100% clear.
