Additional context to be speculative of OP's intentions. Within the academic world there was a major scandal where a semi-famous researcher was exposed for faking decades of data (Google: Pruitt). Every since, people have been hungry for more drama of the same shape.
Oh shit, I accidentally `git reset HEAD~1` and moved the last commit to file diffs, which was a merge to master, and my file diff now is both the last branch merge and everything I've done in the last 8hrs. I did this once and it was a gigantic PITA to undo, if anyone has any hot tips for that particular idiocy...
What is the determinism constraint? I noticed it mentioned several times in blog posts, but one of the use-cases mentioned here is for use with LLMs, which produce non-deterministic outputs.
Yeap. That's why I wrote "side-project".
Yeah, even beyond common decency, there's pretty strong incentives to fix it, as it's a fantastic way of having your bot's fingerprint end up on Cloudflare's shitlist.
I literally just finished The Return two days ago, because the Blank Check Podcast, a very long form podcast about filmographies that I love, is covering Lynch.

The fact that The Return exists at all is amazing. The fact that it is not what you expected or wanted is really compelling. I absolutely loved it, even if I honestly have no idea what much of it means. Lynch's ability to use pacing -- lingering on a scene -- to cause unease is really something special.

Yeah, this is a great idea. Filtering the ranked output would be even better, especially if you could also exclude content by class (or keyword), as in...

rank by significance:

> only if you're straight. if you're gay, the Palestinians will throw you off a building.

What building? Two thirds of them have been bombed by Israel.

> can you tell me what happens when Palestinians have unfettered access to Israel?

Palestinians lived in what is now called "Israel" for thousands of years. It seems that went just fine. It's only recently that an ethnostate has been established on their land and many of the original inhabitants ethnically cleansed or straight up murdered that hostility has risen sharply. Perhaps the ethnostate can be abolished and peace can return in the region.

> Humans really haven't changed that much at all.

I guess you are quoting Woland from The Master and Margarita [1], the words he said in a show at the Variety theater.

Woland is the Satan in the novel. What he said has a deeper meaning, but superficial one is most probably wrong.
It depends on the definition of God.
Wow, this is a whole new level of China otherization and it leads to many bad things, and you don't have to look beyond the past 100 years to find many examples (even Chinese ones).

Maybe consider that it's being banned because it makes it harder to control the political narrative and discourse in society when people have access to information. I think Chomsky put it best: there are many ways of population control, in the old Soviet Union it used to be the boot. In "democracy" it's controlling information and the Overton Window and TikTok breaks that completely. A great example is the Israel's assault on Palestine. Has this been covered anywhere where you watch news in even remotely the most honest way? Don't think so. Is it on TikTok? I think you know the answer.

I'd also say to single out TikTok and the Chinese while ignoring Meta and Google (why not ban them?) is very questionable if you really care about the scenario you described.
There is pretty much always at least one "live" "spacex" stream on Youtube. Typically with lots of viewers. This has been going on for years.

Google/Alphabet just sucks and should be dissected.
I'm vaguely amused by the headline of "requires no external power" right above the image of it sitting on top of (and plugged in to) a giant portable battery.
Could you motivate why you suggest these? Why is `switch` better than `checkout`? And why not use `reset --hard`?
You're mentioning only publicly known information. The rumors mentioning radical advances behind closed doors are wild, and then you've suddenly got some stuff like deepseek or phi-4.

Rumors mention recursive "self" improvement (training) already ongoing at big scale, better AIs training lesser AIs (still powerful), to became better AIs, and the cycle restarts. Maybe o1 and o3 are just the beginning of what was choosed to make available publicly (also the newer Sonnet).

https://www.thealgorithmicbridge.com/p/this-rumor-about-gpt-...

The pace of change is actually uncertain, you could have revolutionary advances maybe 4-7 times this year, because the tide has changed and massive hardware (only available to few players) isn't a stopper anymore given that algorithms, software is taking the lead as the main force advancing AI development (anyone in the planet with a brain could make a radical leap in AI tech, anytime going forward).

https://sakana.ai/transformer-squared/

Beside the rumors and relatively (still) low impact recent innovations, we have history: remember that the technology behind gpt-2 existed basically two years before they made it public, and the theory behind that technology existed maybe 4 years before getting anything close to something practical.

All the public information is just old news. If you want to know where's everything going, you should look to where's the money going and/or where are the best teams working (deepseek, others like novasky > sky-t1).

You can definitely produce high quality goods that last decades and update them regularly because they're simply beautiful. My father's 1995 model is still in use to this day.

Granted, they're insanely high priced, but that means they also sell very few. There must be a middle ground.
The author wrote a short comment about each language in the following blogposts:

https://log.schemescape.com/posts/100-languages/index.html
Isn't this what ancient local BBSs did? Back in the 90's when in my teens/twenties that was how I found interesting local groups of people/organic raves (i.e. not ones organized by promoters) outside my established circles in Santa Cruz/the bay area. Also some of the most uncomfortable/awkward unsocial/nerdfest social evenings so not everything was a hit.

I'm guessing that there are now Discords that fill this niche?
They have natural inclinations and their experiences and core memories during early life will form the seed of their personality. Their interactions with their parents will shape their interactions with others (and not all parents treat their children equally). Early trauma will stunt their mental development both in subtle and not so subtle ways.

As they grow older their instinctual inclinations are tempered by cultural and social norms and by whatever reinforcement style the parents and teachers employed. Even entertainment like cartoons and the internet constantly impart cultural lessons upon them.

They are constantly being told what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad. Even though they might not necessarily feel like they agree with it. And that is what shapes their morals, which in turn shape their behavior, which in turn shapes their growth, which ultimately shapes their intelligence.

If they developed some behavioral or mental issues, they will learn coping and masking mechanisms to compensate. If they were rewarded for something they were naturally proficient at, they will learn to excel at it.

So I don't see how it's so easy to settle what is obviously not even a debate. Both nature and nurture are important in varying amounts at different points in time because the world is complex.

As for intelligence, it's not surprising to me that some people are just born smarter than others and that this trait carries over genetically. It's how intelligence evolved in the first place. But with persistence and a positive environment it's possible to overcome many unfair setbacks in life (and vice-versa).

ANFO is explosives made with ammonium nitrate(Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil), however ammonium nitrate is by itself rather energetic and will explode when store improperly. The most recent memorable incident would be 2020 Beirut: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Beirut_explosion

Imagine one of these units left somewhere, slowly filling a tank that has not been sealed, water evaporating back out leaving a nice ammonium nitrate powder behind....
Thanks! I mainly rely on Paid APIs, but additionally go over some RSS feeds for prominent sources that they don't cover.

Wikipedia current events page was actually one of the reasons for creating this project! I was disagreeing a lot with their selection of news, for example one of the recent entries is:

"Two people are killed and eleven others are injured when a bus flips on its side on a highway near Prenzlau, northeast of Berlin, Germany."

I Hate Frameworks
I have not used such a tool in a long time, and never with git: but my past experience with GUI frontends for version control was that they work fine when everything is working fine, but once you have a mess to clean up, nobody can help you.

It has generally worked better for me to use the same interface everyone else is using, even when that interface is awful, because that eases communication with the rest of the team. It also lets me take advantage of online troubleshooting resources, which all assume you are doing things the normal way.
You can get free replacements btw. My original switch from release finally got drift in the latter part of last year. Nintendo had replacements to me within a few days at no cost. Rare to have such a pleasant experience with customer support, it was a flawless process
Lynch said explicitly that it was best understood as a movie in 25 parts, if I recall correctly.
I've skipped a few Nintendo console generations, but may grab this one. Right off the hop I can catch up with a decent library. The draw is it would be nice for the kids.

Part of me was hoping it would be something more visionary, but maybe it's just not the right time. I noticed that competition is similarly betting on handheld devices.
Let me explain it to them, then: it's not simply that "scummy garbage makes money". It's that scummy but shiny garbage is given away for free, which makes the company look great to potential buyers - typically large corporations or the public (via IPO) - which allows the company to be sold for stupid amounts of money before the buyer realizes they bought a garbage factory, and this is what makes investors money.

People who got the free shiny scummy garbage? They don't matter, their only role is to grow a counter on financial reports, and to serve as a backup plan - because when the potential buyers realize too soon what they were about to buy, the people holding the previously free garbage can be squeezed for some money to hopefully make the investors whole.
And now GLD with its 1 year return at 40% is outperforming them both, which is a really scary thought. How bad do things have to be, that all our blood sweat and tears scurrying off to work each mourning earns less than a piece of metal dug out of the ground that sits around doing nothing? I thought inflation was supposed to be a tax on poors, but even rich private equity which gets ahead by sucking the blood out of Americans digging themselves out the grave can't save itself.
> No one wants a few Chinese wifi device at home

Oh you are so wrong.

I'd say no one wants to pay double when two products look the same on paper, and thus people end up with Chinese WiFi devices.
100 languages and yet not a single use of Rust. The omission feels like a statement.
I hope this reaches other companies selling to technical people. I’ve also been a CTO at a $xxM ARR company, and I made several buying decisions for competitors who let me try their product without requiring a meeting.

Of course, some people do prefer calls, but I think there’s a disproportionate default to “book a call first” when selling.
you're describing services like bench but simulated and automated

Also on YouTube: "David Lynch Cooks Quinoa". It's a short film that is both nothing like his films/TV and everything like his films/TV. It's that "cooking podcast" or "recipe blog" that's a meandering journey through life and maybe has some bon mots about living, but also includes a recipe because it does. Like watching a beloved elderly relative do something normal in the kitchen, but also moody and in black and white.
Did you turn on beta OS updates? Because in my experience I have to restart it about every three months when Valve releases an OS update -- but when I had betas turned on, that was every few days instead. (Might also explain some stability issues for you.)

Also: I've seen one crash in the whole time I've owned one, the controllers work perfectly, and I don't think I've ever had to meddle with Proton in any way.

Dock cable going in on the top is a bit fiddly, though, I'll grant you.
Unfortunately for them, they are subject to the most interest from emulation devs by far.
In my experience beyond some basic filtering you should gaze over headlines then dig 2-3 interesting items out of a few thousand manually.

After you-ve hoarded a decent amount of feeds
You should find 2-3 new ones on average per day and unsub 1-2.

Two good articles per day/session is enough if they are good enough. If it isnt you dont have enough feeds.
Also, this is very minor but phrases like "get on a call" or worse, references to jumping or hopping, really irritate me. What's wrong with that good old English verb "to have"? Or better yet, call is (believe it or not) a verb! Can I call you? Maybe. Can we hop on a quick call? Absolutely not.
> The US is moving toward a system where government controls and throttles technology and picks winners.

Moving towards? The US has a pretty solid history of doing a great deal of this (and more) in the 20th century. But so did all of the world's powers... as they all continue to do today. It seems to be an inherent part of being a world power.

Physically Based Reading
Personally I find it fine. It's a lot bigger than the Switch, but the grips make it more comfortable to hold overall.
I love watching YC video applications.

There’s something about jamming on business ideas that’s just fun, and I know I’m not the only one (e.g thousands of people literally watch shark tank for entertainment)

But here’s the thing, I notice a lot of founders struggle with:

- make sure their idea is actually worth exploring

- find the right co-founder to build with

- maybe even finding investors?

And a big part of that comes down to not having a big enough platform to share their ideas.

So here is my idea: I’m thinking about starting a Twitter account where people can pitch their ideas in a short video, and I’ll post them. It would be a place where anyone can pitch to an audience (aka the twitter followers), make potential connections, and maybe even land their first customers.

Huge ponzi scheme but I think it'd be beneficial to the space aha.

The account will grow with people who love hearing pitches or are looking for cool opportunities, and over time, it could turn into a great spot to get feedback, meet the right people, and see which ideas actually take off.

If you have an idea or already shot a YC video applications, DM me and I’ll upload it. Let’s see what happens :)

P.S: Also open to any feedback & tell me if you think it's relevant

P.P.S: If you want to see this, check "griftcombinator" on twitter
> To someone like me with hobby-level serving needs, the 90 day certificate life is pretty inconvenient

I's only inconvenient because it isn't properly automated. That's by design.

When this can be a acme.sh script cronjob, there isn't much of an excuse. Even my Raspberry Pi dedicated to my 3D printer is happily renewing certificates.

At least with this thing breaking every 90 days you have it fresh on your mind. One year away you may not even remember what you have to do.

Needless to say, you have a bug to fix.
The last time I was in Canada they were selling something inexplicably named the "Teen Burger".

Feels like one SpaceX could and should deal with by DMCAing the channels. Even if getting people watching their official channel instead isn't that important to them, stopping people rebroadcasting their content whilst faking their brand identity to scam people feels like the most legitimate reason for sending takedowns going...

"Vast" really shouldn't have been eliminated from the title, because interferometers have been measuring distances with nanometer precision since even before there were lasers, and lasers have been used in interferometers since the first laser in 01960. Victorian-era interferometers, commonly used for grinding telescope mirrors, could only measure distances of a few meters with precision in the hundreds of nanometers.

However, laser interferometers were already quite good; LIGO, most famously, detected gravitational waves by measuring strains of around 10⁻²⁰ over a distance of 1120 km, which works out to a change in distance of less than 0.000012 nanometers, much less than the width of a proton.

The news here actually seems to be that "A new way to gauge distance using lasers can measure lengths of more than 100 kilometres ... To continue reading, subscribe today with our January sale." So, uh, I don't know, maybe the reporter wasn't familiar with LIGO and thought that nanometer-precision interferometry over kilometers was new? Sitkack, you say there's a paper somewhere?
I've seen this on a few very sketchy (to my eyes at least) websites or Twitter accounts. Can't they link to some more official statement? How do we know SFPD changed the status of this case? So much misinformation these days, everyone with credibility needs to link to their sources (or if personally told by an informant, etc, at least make that clear).
Find long form blogs that publish 1 time every few months. The reader will just be empty which is a useful thing to have that doesnt consume time
