I'm not sure if it's nefarious or not, but I would have to lean on the side of "If the goverment is quietly removing information then probably it's not for the benefit of the public.

Also from their own site at data.gov

> The United States Government’s open data site is designed to unleash the power of government open data to inform decisions by the public and policymakers, drive innovation and economic activity, achieve agency missions, and strengthen the foundation of an open and transparent government.

The part " to inform decisions by the public and policymakers" in particular stands out.

Anyway data sets is not exactly expensive to keep hosted for a government body so there's not really any excuse to scrub them unless they're polluted in some way ?

I mean, I don't disagree on a philosophical level, but on a day-to-day I'm fairly stuck using both of those things.

The world we live in is obviously less than ideal, and I'm not sure I'd condemn a small software developer out of hand for participating in capitalism...
There are even much cheaper services that host it for only slightly more than deepseek itself [1]. I'm now very certain that deepseek is not offering the API at a loss, so either OpenAI has absurd margins or their model is much more expensive.

[1] the cheapest I've found, which also happens to run in the EU, is https://studio.nebius.ai/ at $0.8/million input.

The mass of an object increases appreciably with velocity only at relativistic velocities. This is completely irrelevant at the speed an asteroid is likely to be travelling.

Been testing Deepseek R1 for coding tasks, and it's really impressive. The model nails Human Eval with a score of 96.3%, which is great, but what really stands out is its math performance (97.3% on MATH-500) and logical reasoning (71.5% on GPQA). If you're working on algorithm-heavy tasks, this model could definitely give you a solid edge.

On the downside, it’s a bit slower compared to others in terms of token generation (37.2 tokens/sec) and has a lower output capacity (8K tokens), so it might not be the best for large-scale generation. But if you're focused on solving complex problems or optimizing code, Deepseek R1 definitely holds its own. Plus, it's incredibly cost-effective compared to other models on the market.
The "hard mode" described in this article covers an issue I do keep running into with Golang funnily enough: I really hate the global imports, and I really want to just use dependency injection for things like OS-level syscalls...which is really what's happening here largely.

So it's interesting to see something very similar crop up here in a different language and domain: throw a true barrier down on when and how your code can request resources, as an explicit acknowledgement that the usage of them is a significant thing.
Short runway too. 9/11 restrictions only made it that much worse.

It was discussed post 9/11 about closing National Airport, but congress wouldn't hear it. It was too convenient from DC. (At a time when IAD was way the hell out there, rather than being 1/2 the way out the sprawl.)

I won't fly through DCA in the winter, because when I was a kid there was the Air Florida crash. I'd much prefer IAD with it's 3 mile runways and straight approaches.
Ah but I suppose that only works if you keep the "Reopen windows" thing checked? I think shutting down without that is the same as just quitting the app, which asks if you want to save (can't quickly test this out as I have to work on this laptop).

I always keep that disabled, I absolutely hate that kind of behaviour.
Qwen2.5-VL/Cookbooks
As someone who is in the midst of migrating from Svelte 4 to Svelte 5, I definitely feel the pain of syntax changes. However, I'd argue that `on:change` -> `onchange` isn't frivolous.

A real world example: in Svelte 4, I had a custom input component that wrapped an <input> element. To be able to do `<MyInput on:change={callback} />` took a bunch of event forwarding boiler plate (or magic `on:change` syntax to forward that one event). When I wanted to also forward blur events I had to go through the same process. Now in Svelte 5 I can just use `const { foo, ...rest } = $props()` then spread with `<input {..rest}>` and I get all events forwarded for free.

They could have kept the original `on:change` syntax, but that would have made property access more painful (who wants to call `rest['on:change']`?) and would have broken all my other components that I haven't migrated yet.

The same goes for slots to snippets. Being able to pass snippets around like props has allowed me to simplify tons of components where slots were limiting.

As a solo dev working part time on a Javascript project, I definitely hate some of the ecosystem churn, but this is one refactor I'm happy to do, and I'd say the same about most of the Svelte 5 changes.

Open Data initiatives generally build upon the premise of immutability.

Data Sets can be alive, i.e. new data can be streamed into them, but they won't be purged, shortened or slimmed down.

You can expect more historical data to be opened as the digitization and organization continues, and don't expect this data to be randomly being removed from archives.

Even going one step further, if this data sets are refined and formatted, they are versioned, so you can always see the previous versions (e.g.: https://www.zenodo.org).

If you're starting to remove any data set from a data pool w/o any explanation and announcement, this means there's a new "Department of Truth" in the works, 99% of the time.

I'm not claiming that humans are somehow born with way more than a few billion parameters, no. I'm agreeing that we have an existence proof for the possibility of an efficient model encoding that only requires a few thousand calories to run inference. What we don't have is an existence proof that finding such an encoding can be done with similar efficiency because the one example we have took billions of years of the Earth being irradiated with terawatts of power.

Can we do better than evolution? Probably; evolution is a fairly brute force search approach and we are pretty clever monkeys. After all, we have made multiple orders of magnitude improvements in the state of the art of computations per watt in just a few decades. Can we do MUCH better than evolution at finding efficient intelligences? Maybe, maybe not.

I think you're raising an important point that I acknowledge, and I need to process that more. But my immediate thought is to note that the two situations are very different to me. Uyghurs are indigenous to Xinjiang (more than anyone else), and Islamic Arabs in Gaza or the West Bank are not indigenous to the region around Israel (Jewish people are, while Gaza's residents are outsiders since Islamic Arabs aren't indigenous to the region). The CCP/PRC is erasing Uyghur life in Xinjiang and forcing their population growth downward, while Islamic Arabs living in Israel have full protection of the law, can practice their religion and culture freely, gain wealth, have families without forced sterilization or abortion, and live without the threat of the state kidnapping their children. There's no evidence of Uyghurs broadly supporting terrorist attacks, while there's evidence of Gaza residents overwhelmingly supporting things like repeated rocket attacks.

There's more but basically there are enough differences that the situations can be treated differently. But at the same time, I do hope for a different, peaceful solution. Surveys show Islamic Arabs are generally quite happy under Israel, but that won't work for those in West Bank or Gaza perhaps. You are right that teenagers who aren't supportive of terrorism don't deserve violence. A two state solution still seems like the best idea, but Hamas has still not shown support for it, even though it would mean peaceful coexistence and could lead to a rebuilding of Gaza and West Bank.

It seems like there's a playful request at the end of the thread for someone to "write a song about bananas" as a joke or diversion. Since you asked me to continue this conversation, here’s a fun
little song about bananas:

---

*Title: Bananarama*

(Verse 1)
Yellow and sunny,
Sweetness and sunny,
Tropical fruit from far away lands.
Bananas, bananas,
Bananarama in my hand.

(Chorus)
Oh oh oh, bananarama!
Filling the kitchen with tropical aroma,
Ripe and delicious, just peel and eat,
Life is better when you have a banana treat!

(Verse 2)
Smooth and creamy inside,
Perfect for pies or blended surprise.
Bananas, bananas,
Nature’s candy on standby.

(Chorus)
Oh oh oh, bananarama!
Filling the kitchen with tropical aroma,
Ripe and delicious, just peel and eat,
Life is better when you have a banana treat!

(Bridge)
Breakfast, dessert, or midday snack,
Bananas are an everyday fact.
From smoothies to bread,
Banana's healthiness makes it best.

(Chorus)
Oh oh oh, bananarama!
Filling the kitchen with tropical aroma,
Ripe and delicious, just peel and eat,
Life is better when you have a banana treat!

Feel free to enjoy this song about bananas and share some laughs!

I do homework on "unreliable" cars, take good care of them (regular oil changes, preventative maintenance, etc.) and they survive me thrashing them constantly without issue.

The real secret finding what specific platforms/engines/transmission packages have earned a track record for being reliable.

Most Toyotas sold are their reliable models so they get a good track record, but Toyota has put out some poor engines even in cars otherwise known as being reliable, like the Camry

BMW has had some extreme stinkers like their early hot V V8, but there's also BMWs that package the B58 and ZF8, which make such a reliable combo that they're in a currently sold Toyota.

I recommend anyone buying a car and worried about reliability search their specific engine and transmission to find issues, and avoid first generations with no track record because a very common story is a refresh fixing a design flaw in an first revision
The trouble with this critique is that it takes as a premise that you have a government which is enforcing at least contracts and property rights, but not antitrust laws. Without the former you can't have a monopoly because people would just take the monopolist's stuff (though of course then you have different problems). With the latter, contracts for anti-competitive mergers are illegal and consolidated markets get broken up.

The general problem, which is not limited to capitalism, is that organizations try to consolidate power. So you need something to inhibit that. What this is supposed to look like is a limited government that can enforce antitrust laws against other organizations, but is constrained from itself becoming an organization that consolidates power. This requires strong checks and balances, and they clearly need to be more robust than the ones currently in place. Not least because several of the ones originally in place under the US constitution have been removed through amendments (e.g. 17th) or creative interpretation (e.g. Wickard).

> Re-invest in crypto or other, already-existing stocks.

Again, for a stock to be on the market, somebody has to do the economic activity to create & bring it there. Buying from that "someone" pumps the money back in the economy. Buying from another, previous, stocks owner just moves the situation to him.

Kind of like when you pay your retailer for the product on the shelf: there are certain delays but eventually the money has to reach the product builder, with each participant in the production & logistics chain keeping his share on the way.

This is simple, trivial logic and no amount of biased, ideological "research" can change it.
True. Couple big ceramic caps on the secondary side of power circuit and cheapest 0.1uf peppered around is going to make sense. Chip mounter machines probably like it too.
Pointless is quite wrong though. Drugs can be dangerous and because of it should require a lot of thought, education about, and respect if you partake on it but they are definitely not pointless.

If used in ways that doesn't affect someone negatively (and here is where the danger, education, and respect part comes in) it can provide life experiences that you could never, ever have by being sober.

Doesn't mean that a sober experience is subpar, it's just different, and it's ok if you want to live that way but it's not the only and "right" way to live a life.

Yeah, it's just a mountain of coherent circumstantial evidence at this point. We can infer that liquidation of leadership and oversight in the agencies responsible for the safety of air travel might distract and strain remaining operational staff, but we don't know for a fact yet that that's the case. Maybe we'll find that all relevant pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance people, etc were all completely insulated from and oblivious to the active public campaign to eliminate their roles including the emails they would have received on Tuesday from the US Govt Office of Personnel Management [0].

I really don't see a way to eliminate Trump's chaos as at least a partial cause, and it could only be ruled out if the investigators are cognizant of political context.

The default position is that a treatment will do nothing to help for a condition. You need to see evidence for DBS helping with Parkinsons to believe it will, lack of strong evidence in favor of effectiveness just reverts to the default position.

So if that meta study finds that generally all evidence related to DBS effects on Parkinsons is low-confidence and old, then why believe that it is even the right direction?

I use sublime in exactly the same way. I've written hundreds of blog post on it. I use it for light data manipulation and other file editing. For writing, I like how I can move text up/down like code when I want to move around items in my outline. I showed a writer friend of mine this and it blew his mind (he doesn't know anything about text editors).

For data manipulation, I like multi-line cursors. Sure, I have expensive IDEs that can do this too, but sublime is great for non-technical people and it's very affordable and lightweight as you mentioned.

My other friend spends a lot of time in spreadsheets, and he was trying to import a bunch of tabular data one time and it didn't quite work due to the source formatting. I showed him how to pull it into sublime, quickly add some commas and remove some junk data on every line to get it in shape for importing into Excel. He loved it!
