I thought everybody knew the first thing the Nazis did was eroding the rule of law, with the help of Hans Frank, before even taking power.

The fact that everybody is equal in front of justice and that justice should be independent, two of the basics tenet of the rule of law, were hated by the Nazis and called 'jewish law', and were targeted. Lawyers and judges were increasingly close to the Nazi party. The same crime by a party member didn't had the same consequence.

I think the Nazis pamphlet said that 'roman law follow the materialistic world order, and should be replaced by German law'. Where materialistic was a dogwhistle for Marxism, and world order for Judaism.

What did help Nazis was that older judges and lawyers were often aristocrats who didn't really love the republic, and new one were petty bourgeoisie where Nazism had a lot of supporters. They helped put a staunch conservative (who later joined the Nazis) at the head of the German supreme court before 1933. The man blocked socdems appointments, and changed how the German law was interpreted (basically pushing intent of the law vs letter of the law, where intent weirdly always aligned with Nazi ideology).

Then, once they had power, the first thing they did after the conservative Hindenburg (may he be remembered as Hitler first collaborator) declared a 'state of emergency was to suspend judiciary oversight over arrest and imprisonment.
> Roads

And who builds the big roads?

Who makes it viable by protecting international shipping, guarding the coast and regulating port infrastructure? (If you’re on a Great Lake, it absolutely depends on canals. That and Canada.)

> electrical grid is also maintained by the state along with the other states on the same regional grid

Not how North American grids work, outside Alaska, Texas, Florida and maybe the SPP. States have influence on NERC through the utilities. Grids don’t line up neatly with state lines, and the whole mess requires regular federal coordination.
"The pyramid is also an artifact of the era in which it was created. Computers were slower, testing and debugging tools were rudimentary, and developer infrastructure was bloated, cumbersome, and inefficient."

In addition to that, I think a major point is that the testing pyramid was conceived in a world where desktop GUI applications ruled. Testing a desktop GUI was incredibly expensive and automation extremely fragile. That is in my opinion where the pointy tip of the pyramid came from in the first place.

"But the majority of tests are of the entire service, via its API [..]"

I think this is where you get the best bang for your buck because your goal to keep your tests robust is well aligned with the goal to keep the API stable. This is not the case above and below, where the goal of robust tests is always at odds with change, quick adaption and rapid iteration.
I am mostly ignorant but from hearsay CISA is part of DHS (the chief of CISA is a DHS official). doubt Trump loves it because he literally fired Krebs directly for not supporting misinformation and overthrow attempt in 2020 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Krebs#2020_dismissal)

Huh? Is that their goal? Recent high power ARM chips do seem to have quite some area and chiplets enable increasing power further, which, looking from the outside, seems much higher on the agenda than keeping chip area small.
Tbf an "impassable invisible forcefield" sounds really useful for various applications. If it was possible at all, someone would have done some research into it, surely?
That was the implication indeed. Money is like gravity, the more you have the more you can pull in. This will give a person the power to do anything to make more money (change the laws as desired, or break them if needed) but also the perfect shield from any repercussions.
I agree, but there are many who say that not voting is the only way to show contempt for a system rigged against them. Voting would be a tacit endorsement and recognition of the legitimacy of that system.

I speak Spanish, but it's a different story there: "dos doses, zero treses y un cinco". Numbers can have plurals, which from what I understand is not the case in Italian. Weird cause the languages are very similar in general - I can somewhat easily understand Italian, particularly reading. Listening - not so much. But as far as grammar, they seem to be almost identical. Same with French grammar though Spanish has the equivalent of the English present continuous tense and French does not(also worth mentioning that I don't speak French either, that's what my mum has told me).

Im using RTK Query with React with apps where i dont control the API and just consume the JSON.

The problem with RTK Query is the strong reliance on the internal cache, which is often in the way, since i need the updated data from the server most of the time, but otherwise it works quite well.

For apps where i control the backend (mostly PHP with Laravel or Symfony), im using Inertia now, which enables me to directly access the entity/model data in the React code, without any API necessary.

This works really well and reduces the React code to the minumim, UI based stuff, where it shines.

There is a Stimulus/Turbo plugin for Symfony as well, but Im not sure if this technology isnt too niche and unproven yet, in contrast with React, which has been around a long time, has tons of docs, and also loads of devs with experience on the market.
As far as I can tell, this will be financed by private money. Can you elaborate?
And it's not what rule of law mean.

I now understand why this is even a debate.

"the mechanism, process, institution, practice, or norm that supports the equality of all citizens before the law, secures a nonarbitrary form of government, and more generally prevents the arbitrary use of power."
It just allowed unrestricted trade outside of regular economy. In a world where the governments themselves are corrupt and criminal, you could argue over the ethicality of the concept. But comparing it to drug cartels is unfair I would say.
A lot of projects start as a "small python file", but over time will grow into large and complex beasts - as they need to handle edge cases and complexities and requirements. Extrapolating that "programming is dead" based on anecdotal experiences from a hobby weekend project is very silly, and that's the joke.

Serializing an entire repository and feeding it to an LLM, and having the LLM change the code in response to specific asks, then storing the results - is not a trivial thing to implement. Think about large repositories with very long files, or repositories with a complex structure, or polyglot repositories. Projects where code and data are mixed together. Then think about security, with things like prompt injection in the source files, etc. Handling hallucinations.

They probably think that geolocation always perfectly works based on the physical location and don't consider edge cases like people with roaming SIMs (which is what I think a lot of those cheap data-only eSIMs effectively are) geolocating to their home country even when abroad.

Though by now you'd think that people are aware the e.g. the Google/Apple app store region locking basically locks out all tourists, but it seems that even that isn't necessarily common knowledge…

This is exciting work, following a direct iterative path towards a true solid state battery.
No chemical or physical changes take place, its just a conductor with a very large surface area, and electrons are held on the surface.
Basic differences with current batteries are that
there are no heavy ,expensive, materials, no chemical changes or flamable gasses or liquids, no swelling or other physical changes durring charging cycles, and capacitors have 100 times the
number of charge cycles before degradation than the best chemical cells.
The key here is that they are growing a nano fibre structure on graphene, useing a very common
plastic feed stock, used in many electronic devices now.The current iteration is one full order of magnitude more energy dense than
current capacitor designs.And the upper limit for capacitive energy storage, is unknown.
It is currently possible to buy "supper- cap" strorage banks for off grid and other uses, and they are common in many consumer products, including cordless tools, etc.
Or on the other side you remind me of a literal party trick - a rubber balloon filled with helium that's starting to deflate and thus has neutral buoyancy can be moved around without touching it. The charges on the surface of the balloon and on your hands repel.

Dunno. The breakdown voltage of vacuum is enormous. There might be several unknown parameters at play here which would increase the breakdown voltage of the air.

I agree with the sentiment of the article: I've seen too many codebases where a lot of stuff is being tested via unit tests (sometimes even via heavy mocks). The main implication is that your code essentially becomes impossible to refactor, since you're basically testing how your internals are wired up and any change to your code structure immediately causes a big chunk of tests to fail even though on the outside everything still works.

Having said that, I think this mostly means that people find the term "unit" in "unit tests" ambiguous and they're just cargo culting it to mean "a single class" or whatever. That's the fundamental flaw that should be addressed. Basically that's what the article is saying as well, I guess, by implying that the API is the contract you should be testing, etc. But that is essentially just a long winded way of saying "The API is the unit".
They generally do, in these apps: they also pay a fee to the delivery company for each order they get (~15% for Uber eats), and they pay it because they get more business if they're available for delivery, especially on the centralised apps, and it's cheaper than having their own delivery drivers.

(A lot of restaurants will offer a discount if you order from them directly instead, to try to incentivize repeat customers to avoid the middleman, or just straight-up have lower pricing on that menu)

I was in Egypt a while and there's no talk of them invading Sudan or Ethiopia. A lot of Egypt's economy is overseas aid from the US and similar.

The main military thing going on there - I was in Dahab where there are endless military checkpoints - is Hamas like guys trying to come over and overthrow the fairly moderate Egyptian government and replace it with a hardline Hamas type islamic dictatorship for the glorification of Allah etc. Again it's not about reducing scarcity - more about increasing scarcity in return for political control. Dahab and Cairo are both a few hours drive from Gaza.
I think we all agree that the majority of tests should be fast, automated, and robust. When the pyramid was written, that probably _did_ mean unit tests. In 2025 it doesn't.

I'd be interested to understand the design choices behind using protobuf as an interface with LLVM: in my reasoning, it may be more performant, but that serialization step is a very small part of compute, and the serialization format is unusable by humans.

Choosing to ignore people is not censorship.

Also I would note that the lunatic-fringe far-right stuff I was referencing with the pizza restaurants turning the frogs gay did not _exist_ when I was growing up; it's quite new, really emerging in the past 15 years (of course, it does take a lot from older far-right concepts, but it is to some extent a thing onto itself). This isn't something that was forced upon people as kids because their great-grandparents were into dank Pepe memes, it is something that they have embraced themselves.
It is not a take. It is simple position of 'just because you call something as involuntary semen injection does not make it any less of a rape'. I like things that are clear and well defined. And so I repeat:

The AI adds no copyright. It either adds no copyright or there is unattributed copyright remaining from whatever training set was used.

The rest is under your copyright as it is the result of your creative work.

1) Yes, you can release it as open source.

2) These days I release as GPL. My experience releasing MIT/BSD has been joyless.

3) It's a shade unethical. OTOH, given the popularity of these tools, it seems your future won't be negatively affected.

4) Enough to convince a judge.

5) I don't use AI tools. Legally speaking, does the AI-generated code show enough creativity (which is the term for the type of materials which can be under copyright) that it could be traced back to an originator? If not, no worries. If so, how much are you willing to deal with that happening?

De-anonymization would take monitoring over a period of time, but it could definitely work. Take this scenario for example: a person of interest is in the area of New York on Jan 1. On Jan 4 they travel to the UK. On Jan 7 they travel to Germany. On Jan 21 they travel back to the US.

The list of suspects would be fairly small when US officials cross-check individuals that travelled US-UK on Jan 4 and Germany-US on Jan 21.
> It was a highly lawful state.

I know what you mean, and I do agree with your main point about not blindly following orders. I hope most people do. It's just the way you phrase it, I also have to disagree. The Nazis at their core were not "lawful", not even "lawful evil". Not unless the one law is "as long Hitler says it's fine, it's fine".

> Any hierarchy, no matter how authoritatively managed, and any communication of orders, no matter how autocratically and dictatorially issued, would stabilize and thus limit the total power of the leader of a totalitarian movement. In the language of the Nazis, it is the dynamic, never-resting "will of the leader" (and not his orders, which could be given a definable authority) that becomes the "supreme law of total rule".

-- Hannah Arendt, "Origins of Totalitarianism"

> Hitler did sign an order for the T-4 euthanasia program. In the T-4 program as many as 100,000 German citizens who were thought to be ‘unworthy of life’ were murdered by Nazi party authorities and other German collaborators. When the German population caught on to what the Nazis were doing with T-4, they protested and Hitler was forced to publicly back down and cancel the program (although it continued secretly in the camps). Having been embarrassed by a written order once, Hitler became wary of doing it again. Important Nazi officials confirmed the oral transmission of Hitler’s secretive orders.

The issue with composition is only a problem when you rely on a pure text prompt, but has been solved for quite a while by ControlNets or img2img. What was lacking was the integration with existing art tools, but even that is getting solved, e.g. Krita[1] has a pretty nice AI plugin.

3D can be a useful intermediate when editing the 2D image, e.g. Krea has support for that[2]. But I don't think the rest of the traditional 3D pipeline is of much use here, AI image generation already produces images at a quality that traditional rendering just can't keep up with, neither in terms of speed, quality or flexibility.
