You should set aside an hour or two and research how the administrative state actually works. These agencies aren't full of political appointees, rather they're staffed with engineers and scientists who are dedicated to keeping our water potable, food safe, weather tracked, air travel safe, etc.

It's literally not possible for the unelected lobbyists who write bills for Congress to write imperative-style laws. Even if they could manage to promptly draft and pass updates to laws as infrastructure, tech, the situation, etc evolve, it wouldn't be able to get the information needed to provide coherent instructions, and it would hamstring implementation forever. It's obviously much better for Congress to write in a declarative style, e.g. "1251.A.3. It is the national policy that the discharge of toxic pollutants in toxic amounts be
prohibited;" [0]. Clearly an important goal, but absolutely impossible for Congress and its unelected lobbyists to write out executable instructions for achieving this (also, Congress regularly explicitly delegates implementation to actual experts via clauses like this "1251.d. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this chapter, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (hereinafter in this chapter called ‘‘Administrator’’) shall administer this chapter."[0])

Just listen to the oral argument in the recent San Francisco vs EPA Supreme Court case [1] (or review the transcript [2], or get the summary from Oyez [3]). During heavy rains, San Francisco's city govt dumps a lot of effluent into the Pacific ocean. The EPA requires they get a permit, track the amount of effluent, work to remediate the issue, and develop a Combined Sewer Overflow control plan. The EPA wants to help, but San Francisco has failed for decades to provide adequate information about their sewage system to the EPA to enable the EPA to help develop said control plan (e.g. pg 98 of the transcript).

There's just no way Congress's unelected lobbyists could hope to write imperative laws. The experts staffing the administrative state aren't receiving partisan orders from the Democrats to harass San Francisco. Republicans don't issue partisan orders to agencies either (the Republicans just throw sand into the machine by tying up agency experts in frivolous lawsuits).

But in any case, it's the agency experts and their hundreds of thousands of years of knowledge and experience who keep America running.

> 5G is running higher power

In the US, 2.4GHz and 5GHz have the same max power, 4 watts EIRP. Except for the part of 5GHz that is only 1 watt. Were 2.4GHz routers not using their full power, or are you talking about somewhere outside the US, or what?

6GHz lets some devices in some bands in some locations run at 4 watts. The rest, the "low power indoor" access points, are limited to 1/16 of a watt EIRP per 20MHz of channel width. 350Mhz of spectrum is only available in this mode. To me that sounds pretty good for reducing congestion.

So it's 2025 in the intelligence age with agents and Microsoft confirms layoffs at a time when they are one of the market leaders. Oh dear.

Can't they just admit that they are replacing their employees with AI? Also the cuts are happening across the whole company:

> The cuts are happening across the company, including in its important Security division, the people said.

Never expected one of the largest dominoes to fall first into doing layoffs that fast in my prediction hoping that it would not come true. [0]

Why is it that only "doing nice things" or "volunteering your time" makes you a good person? Does a traffic engineer not better the lives of others? What about a farmer? Where does the food served in a soup kitchen come from if not from the sweat of the farmer's brow? The shelter over everyone's head only exists because truckers transported the materials. Simply existing in a way that isn't purely self-serving is often enough to be hugely helpful to others.
This. There's consistency and there's yak-shaving. We had a guy who spent two months changing tabs to multiple spaces (or vice versa; whichever was in fashion at the time) mostly to get those sweet commits for "productivity" metrics. Yes, our bad for not realizing that sooner, but at some point you have to let inconsistencies go.

The food does NOT start cooking when you order it if you’re picking up at drive thru. It starts cooking when you pull up to drive thru and give the magic code.

In fact if the food is not easy to prepare you get put in a special parking space, where you wait for your order to be prepared. If it includes soft drinks they might serve those before they make you go park.
I think YouTube and maybe online banking are the only things I would actually miss.
I admire the conviction that things become absolutely true at a sufficient level of specification.

So long as facts are represented in language, they are subject to language’s imprecision and subjectivity. And I don’t think that platonic ideals of facts, independent of representstion, have much utility.

The tldr version. US House bill HR 5009 was just signed into law. It's your typical monster appropriations bill for the Defense department. The section of interest is s.851 which prohibits DoD from contracting with entities that themselves use lobbyists for the Chinese government (which means Huawei, say).

I don't make the logical leap that this means that Linux is unusable by DoD unless the Linux Foundation ejects Huawei from the board. DoD would be buying from RedHat or even more indirectly from Lockheed or whatever, not the Linux Foundation.

I tend to blame the people actually doing the genocide for genocide, rather than a social media network. Ultimately I think one can clearly draw the line for personal responsibility well before literal murder.

Tens of thousands of have been raped, entire towns have been destroyed, around 50k killed and 700k forced to flee.

If Western countries actually cared about the human cost of this genocide, it would be almost a trivial matter to stop it overnight with a few well placed missiles against Myanmar's military, which continues to perpetrate the genocide even today.

Instead, no real action is taken and it's just a talking point for "Facebook bad." Blaming Facebook for a genocide is like blaming videogames for an active mass shooter w/o actually doing anything to stop them.
It will end poorly. Even if it's objectively true, employers will not want to see such a reason, so you'll have to make something up, even if it's not true. It's just the name of the game.

Delta – Test GPT prompts directly in VS Code
Hi everyone,

I recently launched Delta, a VS Code extension that makes testing GPT prompts feel as natural as writing code.

Working with LLMs often involves:
• Constantly switching between browser tabs and your IDE
• Losing prompt history or context
• Manually tweaking temperature or function call settings

Delta solves this by bringing everything directly into VS Code. You can test prompts instantly, adjust settings, and work with function calls—all without leaving your coding environment.

Key Features:
• Instant testing: Use Ctrl+Alt+P to start testing prompts right away
• Dual testing modes: Switch between chat completions and function testing
• Developer-first design: Matches your VS Code theme and has a split-view interface

It’s free, open-source, and I’d love your feedback!
• Does this solve a problem you’ve faced?
• What features would make it even better?
• How do you currently approach prompt development and testing?

Here’s the repo: https://github.com/GeLi2001/Delta
Try it out and let me know what you think!

I think it's important to remember the real meaning of words. If you know language better, you can understand a lot more information, and you can express yourself better. Knowing the meaning and origin of words give you great insights into things.

Just because some childish people are misusing the word for some time, we shouldn't just ditch it like that. Words go back a long time.

We should just remove the negative use of it. And we do that by growing up, not by banning words.
probably, lol
My thoughts exactly. His sequential program example is easily parallelizable. Maybe one of the takeaways should be that we need to work on converting more serial problems to parallel ones
I believe you are falling prey to ambiguity purposefully crafted to hide what's really going on. "advertising" is sort of like "privacy" mentioned in a privacy policy (meaning everything but)

It is more like you go on your date, but the woman you go on a date with has no interest in you whatsoever. But she carefully documents your interests, your behavioral habits and shortcomings, along with information about your education, race, religion, age and salary. Then this person sells this to people who you don't want to date, but want to meet and exploit you.

This is why you get ads for timeshares, water filters or casinos that you don't want - but these people have money to put an ad in front of you.
Duly noted! Thank you kind stranger.
Theoretically, yes, but when every second sentence is a lie it becomes impossible.
I think it’s on the down low when that’s done.
I agree, but this presupposes a large comprehensive test suite giving you enough confidence to do such sweeping changes. I don't doubt Firefox has it, but most (even large, established projects) will not. A common case I've seen is that newer parts are relatively well covered, but older, less often touched parts don't have good coverage, which makes it risky to do such sweeping changes.

How Does Costco Sell 18-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch for $38?
You are being hoisted by your own petard. Lying with statistics is a very common thing and it is, in fact a cliche. I'm surprised you brought up the crime thing. There are so many problems with this. Also, note, one way to reduce "crime" is to just make many crimes legal but it does not change normal people's view of crime. What kind of statistics were used to decide that Iowa would go for Harris with an 18 point jump?
The idea being the user(s) would then have to share a email inbox to share logins, not just a password. It might not be the most inconvenient - this is partly how Netflix did their "Household" lockdown. You can request a travel code and this gets emailed to the primary email.

I feel the way Netflix did this broke the social contract of profile sharing on purpose - before, if you were a good tenant, you could freeload off another paid account without inconveniencing them at all. Memes and jokes formed of still being on an ex-partner's account or how people would rename themselves "Settings".

Getting an email and being harassed for the code by all those account sharers? Much more open and open for annoyingness.

True that. I just got some "honest feedback" that I didn't agree with at all. I'm all for criticizing myself, but this feedback totally missed the mark. I didn't have deep enough experience with "object oriented programming". What does that even mean? I've been creating and using objects every day since 2007. I literally... don't know what to do with that feedback. It's like the carpenter interview, "Have you ever built brown houses? Our client is very interested in brown houses."
Show HN: CleanTabs – auto-close the browser tabs bases on rules
CleanTabs is a browser extension that auto discards (sleep) / closes tabs in the background, based on customizable rules. Its goal is to reduce browser memory usage and address the clutter caused by having too many open tabs.
Dark Reader works fine on a phone, you just need a browser capable of extensions. iOS has a few, and Android has many.

Man Used ChatGPT to Plan Las Vegas Cybertruck Blast
> About 20 years ago, Firefox attempted to add PUT and DELETE support to the <form> element, only to roll it back. Why? Because the semantics of PUT and DELETE are not consistently implemented across all layers of the HTTP infrastructure—proxies, caches, and intermediary systems.

This is incorrect, according to this comment from the Firefox implementer who delayed the feature. He intended the roll back to be temporary. [0]

> The reality we live in, shaped by decades of organic evolution, is that only GET and POST are universally supported across all layers of internet infrastructure.

This is also incorrect. The organic evolution we actually have is that servers widely support the standardized method semantics in spite of the incomplete browser support. [1] When provided with the opportunity to take advantage of additional methods in the client (via libraries), developers user them, because they are useful. [2][3]

> Take a cue from the WHATWG HTML5 approach: create your RFC based on what is already the de facto standard: GET is for reading, and POST is for writing.

What you're describing isn't the de defacto standard, it is the actual standard. GET is for reading and POST is for writing. The actual standard also includes additional methods, namely PUT, PATCH, and DELETE, which describe useful subsets of writing, and our proposal adds them to the hypertext.

> Trying to push a theoretically "correct" standard ignores this reality and, as people jump into the hype train, will consume significant time and resources across the industry without delivering proportional value. It's going to be XHTML all over again, it's going to be IPv6 all over again.

You're not making an actual argument here, just asserting that takes time—I agree—and that it has no value—I disagree, and wrote a really long document about why.

Any suggestions for a good parallel open source SMT solver? It seems to me like contests are full of documentation-less entries that are setup to just run the contests and may or may not be generally usable.
Unfortunately the self-host documentation isn't great and the deployment options are quite limited.

Sure, it's at least dockerised, but it requires root privileges (so no running it in a secured kubernetes env) and forces you to use MSSQL as the db (so pay up for that or hope that express works).

It's also unfriendly to automated deployment, with several manual steps and regular rebooting requires.

Consumers do pay for services (c.f. Netflix, Spotify, Steam. All are trivial to pirate but do billions in revenue). Some ad-supported services price dump onto the market, distorting it. Others are actually worthless. In any case, my point was these days computers are so absurdly powerful that the resource cost for a distributed web would be trivial. Even bargain bin low-power computers can handle millions of users.
This is why you see headphones used in recording studios I’m sure.
Agave syrup is virtually pure fructose. As a sugar alternative it's ... not that great. The insulin response is fairly low, true, but the high fructose content carries its own risks.

<https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/agave-nectar-is-even-wo...>

Stevia would be a non-sugar-based sweetener, though it does have a distinctly different taste.

I'd learned to drink coffee with milk/cream, no sugar. With decent beans (Trader Joe's Bay Blend, e.g., nothing fancy) and a Moka pot that's more than sufficient.
Oh yeah? Why?
Yes and no.

This is the line in the sand that makes sense in the pre internet era.

Online, EVERYTHING is political speech, because moderation is the only effective action we can take, and moderation is currently conflated with censorship. Even though it’s on a private platform.

I was working towards researching this and building the case out fully - but online speech efficacy is not served by the blunt measures of physical spaces, where the ability to speak is not as mediated.

Online, diversity of voices, capability of users to interact safely, resolution of conflicts, these are better measures of how healthy the market of ideas is.

The point of free speech is to have an effective exchange of ideas, even difficult ones. The idea of free speech is not in service of itself, its in service of a greater good.
If you updated KeePass data on two machines, in a non-conflicting way (e.g. added two different logins), is there a good way to merge these changes during synchronization?

This isn't true. He has books and lectures explaining the metabolic processes when eating refined sugar, and why it's bad for you. Nowadays it's pretty mainstream stuff. Nevertheless, can you give an example of one of his opinions which is "well outside scientific consensus".
Fair, though when I say "quality decline" I'm mostly talking about extraneous useless features and overly complicated node-based architectures that require GUIs. There are simpler ways to do all of this stuff. This engine, Tramway, is proof of that. Godot sits somewhere in the middle, I've used it a little but I don't know enough about it to say whether it's overly complex or not.

You are correct: I definitely agree that not all gamedevs should be making stuff from scratch, but I also think that Unity is a little too much. There's a good middle ground somewhere slightly above raylib.

My argument is that the promotion of engines that live near this middle ground is blocked by education: people who want to be able to sell long courses to the people who look up "how to make a video game."
