he is still choosing what to take a picture of, rather than being presented 10 pictures and going "that one". In more practical terms, he had to expend the effort to actually be there in person and do the work. I know AI people pretend that coming up with good prompts is somehow a ton of work, but does anyone actually believe that?
Clearly there are not enough mental institutions in the United States.
Extrapolating from current events, it's more likely that the US will have a different system of government in four years than a different president.
I see these kinds of comments regularly and am curious: what is your thought process? What makes you think that it's not illegal? What makes you think that legality matters here?
You keep returning to salted hashes. Please read the first two paragraphs of what I wrote for why that is a mistake. If you are going to use a shared secret system, do not use salted hashes. There is almost never a good reason to use salted hashes in 2025.

> you need to add versioning to the system

You need this with salted hashes, too! And of course with any password-based system.

This paper suggests that LLMs can be trained to handle multi-stage questioning by automatically optimizing prompts using feedback-based methods, improving their ability to process complex, multi-step interactions.

The early 90's and digital graphic production. Computer upgrades could make intensive alterations interactive. This was true of photoshop and excel. There were many bottle necks to speed. Upgrade a network of graphic machines from 10mbit networking to 100mbit did wonders for server based workflows.

> I never said this.

I know you didn't say it was your opinion. You said it was objectively worse. You said:

> What is objectively worse than buggy networking in systemd is having 26 different incompatible ways to configure networking in Linux.

and I think it's pretty clear people have experiences where systemd-network malfunctions in places where a rc.local (one of those 26 incompatible ways) works fine.

That is not objectively worse. So it's only your opinion.

> Fix the bugs.

You can fix your own bugs.

> Don't fill the well with yet another equally shite solution.

Do not confuse some fantasy future version of systemd that has had people like me work on it to make it better, despite its many many issues, with the rc.local script that exists today: Only one of these has a chance of existing.

Chinese Students Creates "Ollmao" for Ollama
A group of Chinese student developers, LinkScape, recently created Ollmao, a free, open-source and native macOS app. It allows users to run LLMs like Deepseek R1 through Ollama and chat with them inside the Ollmao app. One cool feature: it can show the model’s “thinking process” separately from the main text.
Differences in how people want to consume the article, and what information they’re looking for. Some want snippets, some want summaries, some want long form.

We have information compression machines now. Might as well raw dump the information and let the machine package it up in the format we prefer for consumption, instead of pre-packaging it. (Yeah, this is effectively what authors are doing…currently they can still do novel things that the compression machines can’t, but how long will that last?)
They didn’t exaggerate with “locked federal employees out of their own systems”. That is accurate even if both sets of “employees” and “systems” are non-exhaustive.

More important is the branch predictor. Sometimes you take the hit of a failed predict and you also stuck another entry in the predictor table, making it more likely some other code will suffer a failed branch predict.
I love this, but I'm not sure it's right. As for cults, people want to join them. It's more like any sufficiently sophisticated ideology is hard to distinguish from reality.
I guess it will be a bigger issue the longer it's been since they stopped making them, but most I've heard (including me) haven't had any issue. Crypto rigs don't necessarily break GPUs faster because they care about power consumption and run the cards at a pretty even temperature. What probably breaks first is the fans. You might also have to open the card up and repaste/repad them to keep the cooling under control.

Which cabinet position was Musk appointed to? (In fact, in the U.S. the president doesn’t appoint cabinet members, but sure, you don’t understand the basics of how the govt works but you know what fascism is better than experts who’ve studied and written about it for decades).

Is Musk the head of the OPM?

Also, policy cannot break the law and certainly cannot break the constitution. That is fascism. The executive doesn’t get to rewrite laws and the constitution.
Right, and that's why he installed Trump as the proxy president.
So this is what effective altruism becomes on its way to full blown Time Cube?

As the author points out, Batteries Included is a big reason I choose C# over and over again. Every time I have to go to NPM or Crates.io and look over five or more packages to solve some seemingly basic problem I get exhausted and frustrated that I'm not actually solving the problem I need to. C# has so much built in, and while there are third party options, the Microsoft way is almost always good enough.
That's not generally true: typically you can compute the public key from the private key, but not vice versa (i.e. crypto_scalarmult_base() in libsodium).

In RSA, that isn't possible (without assumptions), so a private key file also contains the public key data.
> Is this a case of PEBKAC?

It's 2025 and every useful conversation with an LLM ends with context exhaustion. There are those who argue this is a feature and not a bug. Or that the context lengths we have are enough. I think they lack imagination. True general intelligence lies on the other side of infinite context length. Memory makes computation universal, remember? http://thinks.lol/2025/01/memory-makes-computation-universal...
I recommend it- with a month prepaid it unlocks and you can then use it on any carrier, and still costs less than half what it costs new from Apple. For example, a new SE3 is $189 right now from Tracfone.

Much cheaper than even the cheapest Android burner if you factor in the relative software update lifespan- most burners are locked to not get updates at all, but Apple doesn't allow carriers to do that. The SE has the same fast cpu, and long update lifespan of a high end iPhone.
Looking at Apple's history in the field, it kinda makes perfect sense. They were not prepared for the seismic shift that AI was heading towards, and the hype for LLMs proved how wasted Apple's efforts were on NPU hardware. Their GPU designs are laser-focused on raster performance instead of GPGPU compute pipelines, and projects like OpenCL were abandoned under an assumption that Nvidia wasn't a real competitor.

Altman knew this was his PowerPC transition moment. He could come in there with a power-hungry, fast and attractive product that would lure Apple into a big investment to stay competitive. Apple's executives know they're beat as much as any of the engineers do, so they were probably eager to close any form of deal and reassure investors that the hype train was still very much on-rails.

It does seem like a terrible idea. The side effects listed in the article sound rather scary.
I know this isn't the full o3 release, but I find it odd that they're branding it as o3 when it feels more like an update to o1 mini.

Yes, reasoning has improved, but the overall results haven't advanced as much as one would expect from a major version update.
It's highly unusual for OpenAI to release a milestone version like this - it feels more like a marketing move than a genuine upgrade.

Who knows what's going on behind closed doors?

If I put on my tinfoil hat for a moment, maybe Nvidia made a deal with OpenAI - offering a discount on computing power in exchange for a timely release.

OpenAI needs an enormous amount of computing power these days, and while Nvidia would take a financial hit by offering a discount to one of its biggest (if not the biggest) customers, that's still nowhere near as costly as losing 600 billion.

Interesting article.

There was a neat play in the last superbowl where Mahomes made a pass after being twisted 360 by the defender. It was almost a mirror image of a video of Mahomes doing an exercise utilizing the same movement with his trainer Stroupe.
I think that's because the authors are clairvoyant and naively expect us poor souls to be, too.
Absolutely!

If it means you are unable to make any decisions or reach any conclusions which do not align with your -ism, then you're in a dead end.
And most people didn’t care about alternative operating systems and open systems. That didn’t affect their lives.

No one was sitting down to the dinner table in 1999 either talking about Explorer being bundled with Windows or after the remedies came through how great it made their lives now that it’s easier to run Linux on their 486

Just like today, people don’t care about the “App store duopoly” or how it keeps Epic from getting more money from loot boxes or how much more money Candy Crush could be making if it weren’t for the “Apple tax”. And that is what we are talking about. It came out in the Epic trial that 90% of App Store revenue comes from in app purchases of games.

It doesn’t make their lives better. The same can be said about going after Google, Amazon etc.
> they didn't let people in that were trying to change other people's minds, but that were out to clarify their own thinking.

I'm not sure how much we can take this at face value, given that the OP mentions a guy (Michael Vassar), who apparently associates himself with the rationalist space and has been accused of brainwashing people and driving them crazy with "mind tricks". There's even been allegations that the now infamous craziness of this Zizian group may effectively be downstream of that.

This is exciting! I use GDB and LLDB, but their TUIs/CLIs make certain things difficult (I feel like debugging seriously benefits from a proper GUI) and graphical front-ends I've tried are pretty janky. Looking forward to trying it out, but I'm excited to see something happening in this space.

To be fair, media consumption is broad and even in the deepest red retirement communities of Darkest Appalachia, no one subsists only on Fox.

In fact there is an active community of very Trumpy libertarians on this very website who pop up in the handful of political threads that make the front page. They seem to be silent here, one hopes maybe they've been given pause.

Nobody complained about downtimes (at least for Atlas Plus) when they started changing “sex” to “sex or gender” / “gender.” Let’s be honest.

I can’t find a single article about this because it was considered normal—they were simply upgrading their system. The level of dishonesty here is astounding.

Let’s wait three weeks. If Atlas Plus is still down, I’ll post an update here.

There is another comment explaining his appointment.

It’s really hard to argue why the president cannot get advice from anyone he would like. His staff includes anyone he wants to employ. He just can’t freely give them positions of official authority.

> The executive doesn’t get to rewrite laws and the constitution.

the judicial branch is working and can challenge orders and take them to court. And is already doing so.

> That is fascism.

It’s really not. You should study what fascists believed rather than using them as a caricature for bad policy.
That’s the best explanation of the meme I’ve ever heard. I wish the CCP could wrap their heads around the concept that actually explaining things this way to their citizens instead of just brutally repressing them is a real alternative. The again it’s not like their response is not a universal human trait of all societies (sigh).
Indeed.

But the biggest thing is that I just don't think that there is anything resembling a steady-state outcome. There's a really interesting book called "Singularities: Landmarks on the Pathways of Life" from (oh, wow, time flies) two decades ago, which describes in each of its chapters a major biological transition whereby a new "technology" was adapted by a particular organism, and then rapidly took over the whole of Earth's biosphere, by virtue of enabling it to either utilize its environment better or evolve more quickly or both. Some example topics covered are: ATP, RNA, Proteins, Membranes, Oxygen utilization, Multicellular organisms, etc. Each change being so dramatic that whatever came before almost loses relevance.

I'm concerned about the rise of AI being the next such singularity, after which we humans would become pretty much irrelevant to the state of the world. Not just out-of-the-job, but similar to horses (or better yet coral reefs), living in some specific ecological niches, away from where the "interesting" stuff happens, with our existence in peril due to forces out of our control.
If you ask me those are boxes yet to be ticked, but we’ll see.
As a disabled individual with hemophilia, genetics have been a mixed bag. Due to my well-noted fondness for PEDs - one of my last posts years ago was about how cocaine and cypionate saved my life from an undiagnosed neurocysticercosis infection - I made understanding "functional strength" a lifetime mission. I actually have a baseball card for Patrick Mahomes...Senior. You know, a MLB pitcher...wonder where the kid got the arm?

Anyway, I'm currently a resident at a sober living facility after spending time in jail on a ridiculous Terroristic Threat charge and I'm really grateful to have done my time in solitary confinement. Wall push ups and basic stretches to make the best of a low-fiber, high sodium, soy protein diet among the worst in Texas jails. Athleticism is relative to lifestyle. A lot of people are born with everything they need and then they throw it away with bad diet or, as I learned in jail, meth and hey-ron.

In the United States, we get almost everything wrong about the science of the body. It's a for-profit platform here. A lot of the best practices are inexpensive - cypionate, when done right, simply means proper physical exertion and protein intake and then it works magic (went from 300 to 600) but only if you give it a reasonable starting point.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but the sign was lying to you. It is already too late to "turn back the clock" on climate change. The droughts, the floods, the fires: we are already paying the debts of past inaction.

I happen to have Gemini Pro or whatever, because it's somehow bundled or free with some other Google thing I have (I don't care to ask.) Although it is a bit weird talking to a computer as if it's actually a person, I did try Google's equivalent feature in Gemini a couple of times and it seemed to work extremely well. I'm not sure how exactly it compares to OpenAI but it holds a natural conversation very well in my experience. I reckon this bodes well for Apple. It seems to me their OpenAI deal is mostly an admission that they couldn't build out their own technologies fast enough, but they certainly don't lack the capital or ambition to do it if it truly is going to be important for them in the future.
Thanks for sharing the workflow.

Yes, they swallowed it.“

I am writting my own wayland compositor for AMDGPU (RISC-V assembly... running on x86_64).

Now, I am thinking more about it, multi-display handling MUST be done at the rendering toolkit level, certainly not with some blurry upscaling of wayland application surface.

A toolkit to handle multi-display properly, must get those properties (on top of the wayland color surface depth/format): physical size, typical view distance, PPI (Pixels-Per-Inch). Dunno yet if wayland does handle all of them in order to tell the rendering toolkit.

Basically, the rendering toolkit/application needs those in order to create the "right wayland surface" for an output and configure its rendering properly to this very output. If I recall properly a wayland application is notified of much of all this.
An output could be a "merged" set of displays with the same critical "properties".

In the end, a wayland application should, for each of its surfaces, care of only one "output". If many "outputs" with very different core properties get to "scan-out" the same wayland surface --> omega dirty mess.
I think the main point of local model is privacy set aside hobby and tinkering.
And they say studying Philosophy is useless!

This idea of "Rationalism" does bear a remarkable correspondence to its 17th century cousin, in that it allows "Reason" to run wild, to go to the end of all its conclusions. That is the importance of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, as Kant introduces finitude into the discourse of philosophy; since, Reason, left to run wild, will always miss the empirical world. Thus, there can be stupid questions, there can be things that are just "nuts," not because they can be proven right or wrong, but because the very basis of the question is already outside of empirical possibility and practical use.
I'm assuming this is a troll.

I’m surprised the killing of the customs officer has gotten so little press. I guess if you want your killing spree in the press, don’t do it in Vermont.

The salacious nature of a group of trans cult members killing people across the country is story made for tabloid insanity. The hooks into Silicon Valley and side-quests about AI overlords etc are frosting on the cake.

This is too pessimistic. Consider successful grass-roots movements: civil rights and maybe anti-war (Vietnam).

In the sense that nothing is likely to get us out? Sure. At some point you need to stand up for what you believe is right, though.

> saying many years ago that it would be better for one person to be tortured for 50 years than 3^^^3 people getting a dust speck in their eye

I just looked this up on lw and it is pretty slimy text.

These weasels always leave it ambiguous to leave room to deny if their perfect rational view somehow goes wrong. Notice instead of actually having a backbone or taking the stance he just says

> I think the answer is obvious. How about you?

I’m not a christian but this sharply contrast the story of christ in which he sacrificed himself to in his mind spare billions from torture and the worst anguish in the universe.

Here we see Yudkowsky casually implying that it is better for someone to get tortured to save the inconvenience of a speck of dust, but notice he doesn’t volunteer himself.

Its fundamental to these rationalist and effective altruists that they are the right ones and others must sacrifice to fulfill the rationalist elitist intelligent world view. Look at FTX and this group. Their point of view it is OK for others to suffer financially and it is morally justified for the “intelligent” to steal and kill because they are the right ones and the ends justify the means.
Well you don't need to worry unless you are already on the list.
It's basically just min/maxing of attributes to fit the specific role. A throwing QB probably doesn't need to be the fastest man alive but a few pounds of extra fat will help protect against injuries.

Now does that actually make patrick mahomes more athletic than some random person that can run faster and lift more? I would say no, but he's definitely a better QB.
Okay, but that's still conjecture. Furthermore, antitrust regulation isn't about remediating the harms between users and businesses, but rather the harm to the economy that arises from a lack of competition.

Explorer, the App Store and AdSense are all perfect examples of businesses that depend on exploitation of their control to keep margins supernaturally wide.

What's particularly scary about this cult, when compared to others, is how some of their weird ideas permeate to those in powers. Tech oligarchs speak of "long-termism", "accelerationism", etc. They use these concepts to undermine worker rights and justify increasing inequalities, all in a vague utilitarian perspective of future utopia.
