You get skilled workers that you didn’t have to raise and educate, and their presence in the country is tied to their employment. Many will leave long before they need to use your healthcare system or collect a pension.

The greatest cost is that they also have expectations like shelter and functional services. Germany failing to meet this expectation was not caused by immigration. Immigration is not to blame for Germany failing to modernise its bureaucracy and its infrastructure.

You’re thinking about power and money, but also should consider culture exports. I’d say it’s a combination of being a friendly nation to the west, being different, actively promoting culture internationally through media and, you know, still 3rd/4th largest economy. An extreme amount of recent travel in Japan also shows people some unique perspectives that people haven’t seen in their home countries (cleanliness, public infrastructure and etc.). I understand you can experience some of it in China as well, but there’s a massive difference between visiting Tokyo and Shanghai/Hong Kong.

Also add millions of people who grew up with anime in 1990s/2000s who are professional adults now. That helps as well.
You're deaf aren't you.

What you're pointing out is peanuts (in practice, and overblown in news) compared to your southern neighbour spying and meddling, so why are things that would be very minor such a huge issue?
I use softwares, that opens projects, which take some time to open, say for e.g. Unity Editor, Visual Studio etc. With the reopen windows thing, it just launches the Unity Hub, and Visual Studio Launcher. It doesn't actually open the apps to the state I was expecting, hence wasting time. I was looking for Windows like Hibernate, coz I don't need to keep it powered. Imagine, being able to resume from exact previous state, all undo history maintained, clipboard state, everything as was left previously, This is how it worked on windows.
- To me, personally, the "kind, supportive" style often comes off as insincere. It's actually a barrier to me trusting someone. But I don't know, maybe that's just me.

He is a "moderate" on foreign policy (not a Cheney/Bush war hawk)

Which is hogwash, because at the time Trump went along with the Iraq war just like everybody else, of course:

In the interview, which took place on Sept. 11, 2002, Stern asked Trump directly if he was for invading Iraq.

"Yeah, I guess so," Trump responded. "I wish the first time it was done correctly."

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/in-2002...

So actually, um yeah, he was a "Cheney/Bush war hawk" just like the rest of them.
that's cool thank you! no grounding then? I don't get the impression it's actually part of llama 3.2v but I thought it's worth checking with somebody who might have the experience!
I prefer the word “biosphere”. Our biosphere is going to be poisoned, faster, and we in it.
Virginia and Maryland were on the brink of invading DC (had the government continued to resist deploying the National Guard and the riot got even more out of hand) with all the bizarre consequences of that…

To be fair it’s not like the mob was that determined and capable to actually murder Pence etc. (at least there weren’t any clear signs of it). They scattered immediately after the first guns were fired (I mean those close enough to witness it). So more people might have died but it would have primarily been the rioters rather than anyone else..
Japan was sealed off from the world by the Tokugawa Shogunate and only opened back up relatively recently (~150 years ago). So yeah, their culture is kinda built different to the rest of Asia, having evolved for centuries in isolation. They are still prone to exceptionalism: one story goes that European ski equipment manufacturers had difficulty exporting their skis to Japan in the 1960s because of a widespread belief that "Japanese snow is different" and Western skis would not work on it. So while the Chinese readily learn English in order to conduct trade with Westerners, there is an unconscious expectation among Japanese that potential foreign trade partners learn Japanese.

Trump is stupid and insane and a coward. But I don’t think he’s so stupid enough to put such egregious tariffs up. Maybe someone can explain how the economy works to him like a 5-year old and maybe he’ll get it.

Putting blame on two individuals that "just" could not push the buttons right, you ignore the whole text around that.

Who created many of the stressful conditions (flight at 1 am and crew not had enough rest), put the underskilled captain there, and pushed the pilots to not do delay and overcome weather? Management.

Could they have spoken up? Maybe, but management creates a system that suppresses such individual protests and penalize them.

CRM in aviation (created back in the 1980s) made aviation in the Western countries almost 0-fatalities for over 2 decades now. And what it did was to not to scrutinize the men at the flight stick, that push the wrong buttons, but look at the process and management, and fix them first.
The fact that some of the images are animated (presently: the "passport photos" associated with this story: <https://maxsiedentopf.com/passport-photos/>) is an absolute turn-off.

I'm often reading via an e-ink tablet. Whilst I can drop text quality to better support animations, the effect is a gross degredation of everything else, and of course, why the fuck would I want to see animations randomly?

"Animate on hover" is a setting I've long advocated for sites, and coded into CSS both for my own sites and as restylings of third-party sites. It's a compromise between constant distraction and being able to benefit from the very rarely actually useful animation. In the case of the passport photos story, the same effect could be achieved by a grid (2x2, 3x3) showing the variety of photos simultaneously. Detail isn't relevant, variety apparently is, and animation is a cheap eyeball-grabbing trick.

Governments should always be primarily rational and utilitarian rather than ideological.
In Germany, it seems somewhat obvious: a more efficient bureaucracy. Everything is bogged down in red tape and bureaucratic processes, most of which are completely archaic and actively hostile to digitalisation.

I am a strong proponent of regulation, but the kind that involves computers, not faxes.
Not sure which paper you are referring to. Would you be happy to share it for those of us that seemingly have missed it?
Not true; young, childless people don't think about the next generation, because why would they? It's game-theory optimal for them to maximize laws which benefit them personally, as they don't have to worry about their children growing up with the consequences.

Frankly, society would be a lot better if the childless couldn't vote; leave voting to people who have a stake in society's future!

They'll pick the biggest ones. They won't block them. It'll be up to the platforms themselves to prevent access to children under 16.
"hallucination" here is a technical term for language model output that make no sense to the user.

They are the direct result of the way current neural language models work, namely based on a training regime where random words are "masked" (hidden) in sentences and the hidde word is presented with the sentence as the solution to a riddle to the large neural network that is the language model (large language model, LLM). Over time, the LLM learns what the hidden words could be in the form of a probability distribution. A related, similar training regime exists for predicting the next sentence, given a sentence.

Instead of modelling directly what the propositional/logical meaning of a sentence is, LLMs learn language only via such statistical properties, which
Leech (1981) in his seminal book _Semantics_ (2nd ed.) called "associative meaning".

Occasional wrong, impossible and meaningless responses from LLMs are a result of that architecture, and people have dubbed that effect "hallucination", which I find a bit misleading because a crude mechanism is linguistically wrongly humanized, and there is a connotation with a person not functioning properly, which is even worse: it's a property of the model when it actually works as expected, just an undesired one at that.

Show HN: Building an AI That Understands Your Code
A couple of years ago, I noticed a gap in developer workflows. We have amazing tools for writing and shipping code, but understanding someone else’s code—especially in large repositories—often feels like solving a mystery without a map. What if there was an AI that could explain codebases as easily as a teammate would?

That idea led to TuringMind, an AI-powered code chat platform that helps developers onboard faster, explore unfamiliar repositories, and even triage vulnerabilities. It’s designed to be your go-to tool for understanding and reasoning about code—whether you’re debugging, reviewing, or just trying to figure out why the previous dev left a maze of if-else statements.

In late 2022, I started working on the foundation: enabling the AI to provide meaningful, context-aware answers to questions about code repositories. Over time, it evolved into a platform that integrates seamlessly with GitHub, analyzes repositories using LLMs, and delivers insights tailored to the way developers think.

Now, TuringMind is live and helping developers:

Answer complex questions about code dependencies and structure.
Onboard to new teams or projects faster by understanding repository context.
Triage vulnerabilities by reasoning about false positives and code impact.
Next up is expanding TuringMind’s capabilities to automate even more tedious tasks, like triaging common CVEs or suggesting architectural improvements.

Let me know what you think of the idea! Are there pain points in your workflow where TuringMind.ai could help? Would love to hear your feedback or ideas for improvement.
If I remember correctly, it is more an Austrian Economic thing than a capitalism thing, and the way I understood it, is that it is not the cost to create something that defines the value, but the price you can sell it at.

E.g, the value of the compute used was 2 million (because Durant bought it), but the prime is worthless, because he can't sell it, or use it for producing any services he can sell.

The point is, that just because something was expensive to make, doesn't mean it has a high value, and conversely (and most importantly) just because something was cheap to make, doesn't mean it isn't high value.

In life, I find a good way to value items is not what it cost to acquire it, but what it will cost to replace.
Also, if you can explain your description of Trump's "abnormally pacifist record" in view of the fact that, when push came to shove back in 2022, Trump went along with the neocon slaughterfest just like everyone else:

In the interview, which took place on Sept. 11, 2002, Stern asked Trump directly if he was for invading Iraq.

"Yeah, I guess so," Trump responded. "I wish the first time it was done correctly."

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/in-2002...

That would be quite helpful indeed.
Considering when the affair occurred, when the payment occurred and surrounding context [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormy_Daniels–Donald_Trump_...], and the strength of the evidence [Wapo article — https://archive.is/kmFCs], do you actually think “financial crimes occurred in order to conceal campaign finance crimes” is a far-fetched verdict that was made up by a unanimous 12-member left-wing jury?
Also the Democrat's main strategy seems to have been yell "orange man bad," over and over, while catering to the concerns of their partisan core of well-off white liberals.

I think they thought Trump was a wedge that would hand them a narrow victory without having to adapt very much.
> I didn't ask if it's possible. I asked whether you think it happens.

I would not make an assertion either for or against it in the absence of data. I would not put forth such a hypothesis without at least anecdotal indicators of a problem. I appreciate you linking to something; even anecdotes help to paint a picture for potentially additional research/analysis, so thanks for that. Now, in response to the linked anecdotes:

The author mentions emotional gaslighting in 2009 and in 2017. There's no indication that she or the other woman was at risk of physical abuse (which is what you suggested was the issue) in either case.

So I would agree with and endorse the statement "Some men use emotional abuse and gaslighting to control how their spouses vote" but still disagree with the extreme position of "women are at risk of being beaten to death for their voting positions" as that remains unsupported hysteria.

This is the most charitable take I can make from your link. There's some real nuggets sprinkled in her writing which lead me to paint her as a completely unreliable narrator and discount/disregard anything she says. If she's foolish enough to stay in a relationship with a delinquent, drug-abusing, alcoholic emotional abuser....hey, that was her choice, and her competency as a responsible adult is questionable at best. If one of my junior male Marines walked came to me with the same sob story (and I've had Marines with bizarre relationship problems before), he'd get a pretty stern talking-to, some life advice...and we'd probably be questioning his decision-making and level of responsibility he can handle moving forward.

15 years ago I was a student in Japan and worked a part-time job at one of these conversation places. One of the successful teachers put it best: "You're not a teacher, you're a chat show host".

You're doing entertainment first. A game here, a crazy story there. Nothing to challenging, people want to have a polite, entertaining experience. If they learn something along the way that's fine but they won't really care if they don't.

There was a wide range of students. Some serious, usually planning to study overseas in the future. Some people just there for a hobby or an outlet. There were a few people who came to offload their problems to someone who they felt was outside the normal social structure (and therefore not going to judge them). I think people in general felt they were much freer to speak using English rather than Japanese.

Wrong as it is, I'm impressed they were able to get any maps out of their LLM that look vaguely cohesive. The shortest path map has bits of streets downtown and around Central Park that aren't totally red, and Central Park itself is clear on all 3 maps.

They used eight A100s, but don't say how long it took to train their LLM. It would be interesting to know the wall clock time they spent. Their dataset is, relatively speaking, tiny which means it should take fewer resources to replicate from scratch.

What's interesting though is that the Smalley model performed better, though they don't speculate why that is.

BZ2 was one of my favorite games for quite some time after it released, just a blast to play. I had been really into BZ98 before it, and didn't think a sequel would be able to match the magic, but I ended up playing more of BZ2 in the end. Anyway, it's nice to be able to say thanks to one of the devs for all the good times!

Any particular interesting stories about BZ2's development that you recall? Always interesting to hear how games like this come together, so much of the time it seems like more luck than anything!

You can definitely use it for debugging infrastructure you don't own/control just fine. You just need to understand what it's telling you and not believe that it's telling you anything else beyond what it is.

It, as well as the internet routing it's trying to observe, is going to give you different results at different times. It's not going to give you "random" results. Unless your routers literally use coinflips to decide whether to forward or drop icmp. Only then would it give random results.

I'm certainly not blaming game makers in general because of the situation of Apple dropping 32bit Intel support, but I think Valve is a different story:

- They've been very diligent in the past about keeping their games up to date.

- Valve owning Steam means their flagship games are a strong signal about macOS support on Steam.

- If they really wanted, they could; they certainly have the resources to do so should they want to+; which means, they don't want to, which is a signal in the other direction: they stopped caring about macOS.

+ HL1 has a FOSS engine that apparently supports it, and more: https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/blob/master/Documentatio...

The Republicans yelled “black woman bad” over and over again and it seemed to work for them, but then they were always catering to mostly older white guys.

It is both factually right (let's face it, the vast majority of trump voters fit that description to a T), and supremely stupid as a campaign strategy (you have to inspire people to vote in you, if the other guy does it better you fail, no matter how low his rethoric).
