The only graphs the relate energy consumption to anything else within the same graphs are 1) a curve implying we ought to be using 400 kW per capital use of continuously, enough to power hundreds of homes most of the time and 2) one that shows GDP flying off with no regard for per capital use of consumption of power.

I feel compelled to ask, how are you using your personal 400 kW today? Surely you must be using that amount since you think it’s vital to your personal prosperity. Is it Bitcoin mining or… honestly I can’t think of anything else?

And the ability to breath fire would also be a huge advantage, but evolution does not seek advantages, it merely keeps mutations that happen to be beneficial. No one has been born with a mutation that has allowed them to breath fire (or if they were they obviously didn't have much reproductive success) and thus we are still unable to breath fire. No one who has been born with a mutation that prevents the development of ear muscles has had especially great reproductive success either.

1.8 million or so in US prisons.

The total world prison population is estimated at around 11.5 million.

China is second - with about 1.7 million - however that's at a rate of about 1/5 of the US.

It's legal to force those 1.8 million to work in the US and some states don't even compensate - and in addition your something like 6 times more likely to suffer it if you black.

So you have a legally endorsed method of forcing people to work in the US, often without any pay - just saying if it quacks and walks like a duck.....

This is a great explanation for the uninitiated. Kudos. You can get the green stuff in any color, of course. Hence red or blue circuit boards. There is lore about why green but whether it was chosen deliberately, copper traces appear darker through green than other colors because they're reddish. So one might prefer green for development.

The natural color of the most common fiberglass used in circuit boards is a straw color - you will see this from time to time, either on very low cost boards or where solder mask has been deliberately left off.

Vias were literally rivets in the very early days of PCB fabrication. Someone might still be selling a kit of that kind of thing for people who etch boards themselves. I'm not going to look, but they were still around 20 years ago, they were obsolete then, and things hang around in this industry for a long time after they're obsolete. Actual through-rivets have very poor mechanical performance and crack easily. Vias and through-holes for parts leads are typically plated now. You can only get plated through holes from the quick-turn suppliers hobbyists use, and that's a good thing.

No way these are not names of supporting characters in a 1950s sci-fi novel or movie.
Why do AI models often fail to generate text within a specified character range?
I've tried prompting models like ChatGPT, Cursor, and Deepseek to summarize or refine text to fit within 90–160 characters, yet they frequently exceed the limit. Even after I point this out and ask for a shorter version, they still tend to go over the range. As a result, I created a simple tool to precisely count characters. What kind of prompt should I use to ensure AI reliably generates text within the desired range?
I defend it on the grounds that it is basic human management. The scientific workforce is diverse, and this diversity introduces potential conflicts. Money spent on researchers who cannot effectively keep the peace among their students and staff—whether through negligence, naiveté, or outright malice—is likely to go to waste. It is not entirely a re-tooling of HR legal speak, but rather an extension given what we know about how to manage a diverse workforce.

The rubric I use to judge diversity statements, and which is often formalized in rubrics, is: "has the applicant thought about this at all to the point that they have specific experiences and strategies that lead us to trust that they could effectively manage a diverse population of students and staff".

There is nothing arcane about this. To the extent that diversity statements even factor in review, this is the same criteria that everyone I know follows.

In my own applications, I, as a white guy, have been very successful in getting jobs and funding. This is despite never making ideological commitments and barely talking about gender or race, and instead focusing on first-generation students. Just showing that I have put in a minimal amount of thought into working with diverse students and colleagues seems to be enough.

So it's a replacement for Ollama?

ReflectOS: A configurable and extensible smart mirror operating system
I think it’s a little early to call the end of the U.S. Constitution. There is a time component to the rule of law that can be frustrating in the moment but has always been true.

The President is free to assert his desires. Other parts of the country are free to push back if they choose. This takes filing lawsuits, lobbying Congress, pursuing prosecutions, etc. all of which take time, money, and effort. Which in turn allows short-term disruption to happen as the legal process plays out. Which again, is frustrating.

Political mood is also more fickle than people usually believe at the beginning of a new administration. FDR, LBJ, W, Obama, and many other presidents passed through a time in which conventional wisdom held that they had changed the game and amassed too much power. In every case we can look back and see that while they each have left a legacy that endures, it’s smaller than expected at the time. The pendulum swung the other way later on.

My own opinion on this is that “don’t tell me what to do” is among the most popular political positions among Americans. So for example, to the extent DEI felt like being told what to do, it became unpopular. But now that anti-DEI is in power, I expect the bloom will come off pretty quickly. In part because of overreach by a new administration overestimating their mandate. (As most new administrations do.)
But similarly, for a voter in Kansas, there is no way for them to meaningfully affect US regulation: Kansas people and representatives are a minority when taken at the level of the US, and they will not be enough to pass or block legislation without a lot of non-Kansas assistance. (and, sure, Kansas also has its own laws, the same way being in the EU does not mean each country does not have their own government able to take a lot of decisions independently of the EU decisions)

Ollama are 'try[ing to] achieve vendor lock-in'
He didn't even make a claim
If you're interpreting Shakespeare you need to know not only the definitions of the words used but the context in which they were used. In the context of the mid/late 18th century, "regulated" typically meant functioning, working, fit-for-purpose, and at the risk of gross over-simplification, "good." A good militia is required for the security of the free (as opposed to authoritarian) state.

The bill of rights is a list of things the federal government cannot do (and through case law, individual states). It is entirely restrictions on the government, not restrictions on citizens. It's a stretch to assume that the one word "regulated" in 2A actually mean restrictions on citizens when no other word in the first ten amendments restricts any citizens' rights.
> defers are function-scoped instead of block-scoped.

I think this is a basic tradeoff with defer and not a problem per se. Are users more likely to need to clean up resources every time through a loop, or more likely to acquire resources that outlive the loop? And which is more confusing if you expected the other? I think it's a tough call. (I understand why a systems programming language would insist on block scoping to avoid allocating.)
FPTP is a superior option to proportional representation. Belgium still lacks a federal government despite voting 5 months before the Americans and being just some 10 million people and we aren't going to get one either before they get their whole cabinet (minister equivalents) confirmed and installed. This is because there are 5 parties trying form a coalition raging from nationalist-separatist to socialist-rebranded-to-progressive across 2 languages. Brussels lacks its regional government too and is even further away from resolving the impasse.

America would be well advised to avoid this. They'd immediately get a language divide between English and Spanish. The alleged "grand coalitions" of the Democrat and Republican parties would crumble. There might be some consensus in the center which might be large enough but then policies would never change regardless of who you vote for, just like in the times before Trump.

It sounds like this project isn't addressing the user convenience aspect of ollama, but rather the developer convenience.

Hopefully both will be easy for users to play around with, but RamaLama should be easier to get your PR merged as a developer and swap out different registries. Vendor lock-in is rarely a good thing in the world of open source.

It frequently does that, so you are not wrong, but it is not a reliable insulator. If you need insulation or spacing for engineering or compliance reasons, you cannot rely on solder mask to provide it.

I completely understand your perspective. The goal of Lyra isn’t to create an atmosphere of mistrust but to ensure a fair evaluation process. We’re not targeting code-related cheating, as our AI focuses only on verbal responses rather than programming tasks.

The challenge we’re addressing is the rise of AI-powered tools that feed candidates real-time answers during interviews, making it difficult to assess their actual understanding and communication skills. This goes beyond simple preparation—it allows candidates to present knowledge they don’t actually have, leading to mismatches between hiring expectations and on-the-job performance.

Yup, DNA turned out to not merely be a sequence of triplets telling a dumb matter printer which hard-coded proteins to make - at least according to what little I understand of evolutionary developmental biology[0], DNA is much more like procedural generation in gamedev or demoscene. That is, there's plenty of recipes for various structures and body parts, and then there's lots of DNA that's responsible for conditionally enabling or disabling or modulating those recipes, depending on more DNA that controls when and where and how much to enable them, and then more - a complex network of logic.

If you need AI to understand and answer interview questions, you are probably among the weaker candidates. Why would the company give you money? Why not hire someone who is smart and skilled enough to think by himself, and then if he uses AI to increase his productivity that's great! AI is not a replacement for your brain, otherwise why would we hire people at all?
I tried using ollama because I couldn't get ROCm working on my system with llama-cpp. Ollama bundles the ROCm libraries for you. I got around 50 tokens per second with that setup.

I tried llama-cpp with the Vulkan backend and doubled the amount of tokens per second. I was under the impression ROCm is superior to Vulkan, so I was confused about the result.

In any case, I've stuck with llama-cpp.

Good point! AI is a great tool at work, but the issue is real-time AI assistance feeding answers during interviews. Lyra doesn’t aim to block AI entirely—just ensures candidates can explain concepts independently. Our AI asks verbal questions and diverse scenarios to estimate a candidate's potential.
Institutions tend to define diversity broadly, including diversity in terms of race, nationality, gender, socioeconomic status, and so on. I don't talk much about race or gender in my own statements, instead focusing on first-generation students and socio-economic status. This seems not to have hurt me.

I get that the way people think about these statements is different than the way they actually are; I just think people are wrong and that their impression is informed by social media. If it helps, I would be happy to rebrand "DEI Statement" to "Don't be an asshole and also try to keep the peace with everyone Statement".
