This article covers what I think is the most overlooked impact of the Jones Act. Everyone else seems to only focus on the economic impacts of keeping or repealing the Jones Act, but this one also covers the purpose of the Jones Act, and how thoroughly it has failed at it. We may have the most advanced ship designs, especially with nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers, but if we end up in a war where they would pay a major role, we have effectively zero capability of ramping up their production or crewing them.
You are absolutely correct. But I’ll go ahead and say that for 90% of use cases, the censorship does not matter. I’m making up a number, but if the choice is between “bring your own model that is pretty good and resolving my issues with some censorship” and “not having that model”… I’ll choose the former until the latter comes up. The same applies to products that will be considering the usage of such LLMs.
It has always been the responsibility of agencies to implement the strategic objectives passed by Congress i.e. create the rules.

It is not reasonable nor sensible for Congress to shift towards defining in minutiae every detail about how the laws should be implemented. Which are then locked in stone until a new bill is passed. Or not passed as in the case with Congress these days.

Because as we've seen time and time again innocent mistakes will be made and you want them rectified as quickly and easily as possible.

For a more corporate driven and controlled language, once it goes down a certain direction, it appears really hard for it to stop the train or get enough momentum to change directions. Easy examples are generics, enums, sum types, etc...

Therefore other languages (influenced by Golang), like V (vlang.io), Odin (odin-lang.org), Jai, C3... made such improvements. One could argue that it's more a matter of if people are going to be brave or open-minded enough to try something different or go in a different direction.

The “deployment paused” screen is shown publicly when hard spend limits are reached for a project. These limits are configured by the user.

Spend controls aren’t necessarily about affordability, it’s often for peace of mind (similar to a fixed price server, or a disposal card with a limit).

I also don’t view them as being negative on Vercel (we likely could have alerted them better, as it seems this caught them off guard).

Their traffic isn’t capped and they can change this if they prefer. But I’m guessing there’s some large asset causing unexpected usage, which is why I offered my email. Happy to walk through it with them and figure out a path to optimize.

IIRC medical research is really expensive, hence money-seeking is to fund it within capitalism.

Also IIRC the rewards are oversized compared to the costs, but that doesn't change that the costs are also huge. Does mean I'm generally in favour of getting every government to quadruple public spending on this though. Whatever the current spend is, we can do more.

Buddy’s Life-Saving Ride
It was a crisp autumn day in Michigan, and Sarah was preparing to take her golden retriever, Buddy, to his favorite park. She loved these drives through the winding roads of her neighborhood, but as a cautious driver, she’d always worried about the blind spots on her SUV. That’s why she’d recently installed the Best Blind Spot Mirrors, a product she’d heard rave reviews about.

Buddy was an adventurous pup, often sticking his nose out the window to enjoy the fresh air. Sarah couldn’t resist snapping a picture of him with her shiny new iPhone 15, the camera capturing every detail of his golden fur glowing in the sunlight. The moment was so precious that Sarah decided to share it with her friends on social media before they started driving.

On their way to the park, Sarah approached a busy intersection. As she prepared to merge into another lane, Buddy let out a small bark—a signal he often used when he felt something unusual. Trusting her instincts and her furry companion, Sarah glanced into her new Best Blind Spot Mirrors.

And there it was—a speeding car that had darted into her best blind spot mirror https://www.etsy.com/listing/1818199052/best-blind-spot-mirr... out of nowhere! Thanks to the wide-angle clarity of the mirrors, she saw the car just in time and avoided a potential accident. Her heart raced as she realized how close she’d come to a collision, but she couldn’t help but feel grateful—for Buddy’s intuition and her decision to invest in the Best Blind Spot Mirrors.

Once they reached the park, Sarah gave Buddy an extra treat, snapping another photo of him with her iPhone 15. She added a caption to her earlier post:

"Not all heroes wear capes—some wear golden fur! And for the rest of us, the Best Blind Spot Mirrors are here to save the day. Life is precious, and so are clear views. #SafeRidesWithBuddy #BestBlindSpotMirrors"
Is it "scripts.tar.gz. A collection of Python scripts, including the ones originally used to crawl the data, and to perform experiments. These scripts are detailed in a document released within the folder" in the OP?

I get that for state of the art fabs. Those optimize for long runs on big wafers. My question though is can you find a solution at a different node which favors cost/turnaround at the expense of not scaling?

For example, could one make a 200nm node with conventional UV masks and a limit of say 10 layers? Non mask lithography options? Or as in the article 'sub' masks where you step a single die image across the wafer?

OpenAI Email Archives
I do believe that it sometimes works, but it's effectively like missile defense: Immensely more expensive for the defender than for the attacker.

If the attacker has little to lose (e.g. because they're anonymous, doing this massively against many unsuspecting users etc.), the chance of them eventually succeeding is almost certain.

We saw your observations on the phrase "free speech" in action when Mr Musk purchased Twitter. One of his stated goals as a "free speech absolutist" was to bring "free speech" back to Twitter. Now, Mr Musk boosts his own tweets, sells blue checks to bots, which boosts their tweets. All to virtually "shout down" any opposing opinions

Show HN: Some Love for Garmin Strength Training
I just launched LiftTrack, an app to make creating Garmin Strength workouts simple and intuitive:

As a Garmin user, I’ve always felt like strength training apps are designed with Apple Watch users in mind, leaving us Garmin fans with clunky tools like Garmin Connect. I wanted to change that. Inspired by the smooth and user-friendly experience of popular lifting apps like Hevy and Strong, I created Lift Track to give Garmin users the same level of love and functionality.

Right now, the app lets you quickly create, edit, and sync strength workouts to your Garmin watch for tracking. In the future, I’d love to add features like automatically updating weights and reps based on what you log during workouts, scheduling recurring workouts (e.g., full-body routines every Monday and Wednesday), and providing a library of pre-built weightlifting programs ready to sync to your watch.

I’d love your feedback. Let me know what you think!

There are certainly some good points about some statements Carr has made that seem to be pushing at the limits of what the FCC actually has purview over, but the contention that Carr is "the most direct and sustained threat to the First Amendment and the freedom of the press any of us will ever experience" is on its face absurd to anyone that follows Carr's work.

Even the examples in this article fail to come close to making this case. In each one, he's advocating for more speech, for increased access to publishing platforms. No ordinary person would possibly see that as "censorship." He's not seeking to eliminate "speech he dislikes" by making statements against NewsGuard's heavy involvement in social media "disinformation" moderation, he's making the point that moderation on political speech has been unfairly applied in many cases, and that's largely the fault of activist groups that push social networks to censor speech they don't like (and label "disinformation").

The article starts out by accusing the Trump camp of projection, by lauding Carr as a champion of free speech. It's ironic that the author is guilty of that very thing (projecting) by accusing Carr of being not only pro-censorship, but the biggest threat to free speech in the country?

It largely is the streetlight effect: we all have or can easily get tools to measure weight, we all have significant experience with weight, etc... Aerodynamics are much more difficult, especially in the 1970s where you can't just do some CFD simulations on your computer. There also weren't cheap solid state strain gauges to outfit wind tunnels or the bike drivetrain. Since only tiny aero gains are available without banned aerodynamic devices, there isn't much optimization you can do and need sensitive tools.
It's very limited, it's certainly not going to be passed around like naked pictures could be.

If you could snap your fingers and have your type hints update to match your code, it wouldn’t get in the way of your work.

Hyperbolically: You have to be able to edit code at the speed of thought - whatever it takes - or else programming languages cease to be a more useful tool than just thinking.

If you type slower than you think, or can’t do the type-hint-based textual translation as quickly as you think, then… yeah - it’s not good for you.

The advice I’d wanna hear for myself is: just get better. But the advice I’d give to my coworkers is: have explicit domains where you’re able to do whatever is most efficient and effective, and then when you hand off data to the next subsystem - obey a contract. A schema. Be that type hints or a .proto file or a database schema or an API. Doesn’t matter.
No doubt, brackets of course also convey structure. But I think indentation
is better for visualising block structure. Inside these blocks, you can still use brackets, and errors like missing opening or closing brackets will not spill over into other blocks.

And yeah, I am definitely coming for Lisp.
I don't see how something like high dose vitamin C IV is very expensive. I would assume a handful of oncologists could do the whole thing themselves. We get X patients a year, we randomly suggest the vitamin C IV to half, the half with vitamin C did better or worse by these metrics. Vitamin C is not expensive and they have to collect the outcome data for everyone involved anyway - so where is the expense coming from?

If it has benefits then more doctors will start to do it and more data will become available. If not, onto the next thing.
I’m glad to see a new platform that isn’t completely locked down, allowing analysis like this.

I didn't inject the word "city", you did.

You referred in your above post to colonies/cities that were over 45,000 years old. Although I don't doubt such a thing is possible (maybe just lost to history), my last dive into this had scholars claiming the oldest known cities to be in the range of 9,000-11,000 years old like Gobekli Tepe and its sister cities. I was just asking if that consensus still holds. I can see this is getting into semantics a bit though and what the definition of city is.

This raises a different but related question. In what world should a victim of a crime be extorted for doing innocent things in their home. If a peeping tom took a photo though a window, could that be used to extort someone?

The same applies to tests, maybe docs too.

For x in tests, type annotations, and documentation*:

If you write your x first then you have to decide what your API is. This is great if you want to think about your API. Sometimes though you just want to get down to it and play around with a new idea. Either way is fine.

As soon as you start sharing code or patching production code or patching someone else’s production code, one must insist on seeing some kind of x. Having x around the outside of a system — rather than requiring x be added throughout the entire system — is often good enough.

*The useful, architecture kind.

> One monday morning last fall, at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina, a 16-year-old girl refused to hand over her cellphone to her algebra teacher.

I was never a fan of teachers confiscating things, but there is a long history of certain items or activities being prohibited in classrooms, often for sensible reasons.

As the article notes, vague state laws, criminalization, and selective enforcement are a lousy combination. But clearer local school rules and consistent enforcement might have prevented the issue in the first place. Were phones permitted in classrooms at this school? If so, what was the issue with having one? If not, why did students have phones anyway?

Perhaps there could be more collaborative development of rules and enforcement policies, with participation from teachers, students, and parents.
Experimentation is _ALWAYS_ at the "oh look, something funny happens if i do this" stage, otherwise it isn't experimentation/research but rather research/development. If we know what to expect, why experiment? Why waste resources?
