I can pinpoint several mistakes in that blog post:

* Java has had escape analysis for decades. What it doesn't have is value objects. But there are plans for that in the works.

* The rant against bytecode is... I mean, there's a reason why you've had projects like LLVM whose (original) goal was to bring something like JVM bytecode to native code. And it's not for portability reasons, it's for the ability to do things like install-time optimizations. Also note that, for example, iOS distribution also relies on the ability to deliver bytecode instead of native code for those kinds of late optimization opportunities.

* The C++ standard library absolutely uses exceptions for all sorts of silly errors. std::vector::at, for example, throws an exception on a range error. The reason why this isn't obvious is that the more common methods just go for undefined behavior on errors instead of using exceptions, which is hardly a design to be emulated.

* I'm confused as to why the author hates try/finally so much, given that it's morally equivalent to RAII and defer. And there's no mention of the try-with-resources, which brings an interface much like RAII to Java.

First: I love your software, it is such an inspiration. I have been a fan for more than a decade at a point.

There are two pieces of software I would love you to implement, and I would buy both:

1. Spreadsheet App
2. An AI aware editor like Cursor that uses DeepSeek or equivalent. You could sell a subscription to it like Cursor also.

I think you could make both of these sing.
Support for fallback to Azure CLI subscription ID
then it will be more ridiculous

there're 55 minority ethics in china, and china sterilization one single ethic and spares all others, for what???

double check your source next time, adrian zenz? wuc? or the us embassy?
There's bound to be some.

Is it as much as the right pretends it is? Is it the cause of the ballooning federal debt? No on both. But it does exist.

And honestly, the worst thing you can do is have someone try to run the organization allocating those funds as if he's the CEO of his own personal organization.
Right? That's so strange. I went for a look around and saw "articles" with apparently tens of thousands of "reads" but 0 comments. I don't know if they're locked behind a login or what but it feels like something is off there
> Iodine deficiency today is the leading cause of preventable mental retardation in the world. It’s estimated that nearly one-third of the world’s population has a diet with too little iodine in it, and the problem isn’t limited to developing countries — perhaps one-fifth of those cases are in Europe (pdf), where iodized salt is still not the norm.

https://web.archive.org/web/20200820212020/https://www.who.i...

> The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for iodine is between 220 micrograms (mcg) and 290 mcg in pregnancy, and 290 mcg when breastfeeding. [1]

Iodine affects the thyroid which produces hormones that regulate how the brain develops in the womb. If these T3/T4 hormones aren't strong enough, brain cells don't get into the right places.

Apparently Iodine intake needs to be 50% higher than the normal healthy level during pregnancy (and higher during breast feeding). Taking prenatal vitamins now in case I get pregnant.

If you own a device, you're entitled to a copy of all GPL software that came with it, including some build tools. However, if the diminished battery performance comes from some kind of firmware update for an embedded microcontroller, you're probably out of luck there, unless that controller also runs GPL software.

One singular anecdote doesn’t say much about the overall state of things. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would claim in present day that Donald Trump became wealthy without receiving significant financial help/inheritance from his family.Of course there will be some people who are rich due to the wealth they inherited from their parents, that number will not be zero anywhere.

There are multiple studies on this, but they all seem to converge on the number of around 80% of current millionaires in the US being first generation/self-made[0]. That is, the ones who didn’t receive an inheritance from their parents or other family members.

It also shows some other interesting stats, such as “only 8% of those in the study attended prestigious private schools, with 62% attending state schools.”

>But the real reason for the ban was that they were foreign-made sonic booms.

You are wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_sonic_boom_tests

This was done to prepare people and gauge the reaction to BOEING sonic booms, for the SST. Everything about a supersonic future was scuttled when it became obvious that people clearly suffered when planes flew supersonic above them.

Keep in mind that the US Air Force still does not go supersonic over populated areas except when absolutely necessary, like during 9/11.

This study mind you was done with SCHEDULED sonic booms. Now imagine, instead of being able to set your clock to a loud, disruptive noise and plan around it, you must deal with completely unpredictable and variable EXPLOSION of sharp noise (130ish decibels is standing 100m from a jumbo jet as it spools up or a trumpet being blasted directly into your ear from a couple feet away)

People already hate the noise of cities when that noise is an occasional quiet siren heard from a mile away a few times a day. Imagine instead if the noise was completely unpredictable explosions. Also imagine you can't move out of the city to get away from it, because the sound blankets an entire flight corridor.

Unless NASA finds a way to magically evaporate all the energy in a sonic boom such that it makes almost no noise at ground level, we would have to literally depopulate mile wide corridors of the US just so a bunch of stupidly rich people can get from NY to LA in an hour? Nah
I think that many of them genuinely want the chaos and destruction. Unrelated to that, they see this as a rational money saving measure. If you look at intentional harm and destruction that saves nothing but only harms, Trump voters love it too.

>4. ... the no trouble found rate for RMA'd hardware is typically quite high - to the point there is likely to be nothing wrong with a product that has been returned under warranty.

Long ago, my friend worked for a Dell contractor (Unisys maybe) doing field service calls. His car would be full of swapped hardware, most of which would be thrown out. However, the hard drives had to be physically returned to his office. He gave me a bunch of stuff like a stack of eight working P4 motherboards, RAM, fans, CPU coolers, DVD drives, and so on. It all worked fine so I can totally see the disks making their way back into the supply chain via some shady contractor or recycler.
I guess there is a reason Germans blamed the Jews for all their bullshit.
- “Foster or advance deception” - definitely happening. Many (maybe most on some platforms) posts on social media are being generated by LLM-type AI systems.
The question of whether a power tool for crime is aiding and abetting a crime is a tough one. The gun industry beat that. It has a lot to do with how the product is promoted.

- "Falsely advertising the accuracy, quality, or utility of AI systems” - worst case is probably Tesla's Fake Self Driving. Most other LLM systems aren't allowed to make decisions, just blither.

- "Create or sell an AI system or product that has an adverse or disproportionate impact on members of a protected class, or create, reinforce, or perpetuate discrimination or segregation of members of a protected class.“ - hm. Need more instances. Now, using computer systems to create a cartel to violate antitrust laws and push prices up is a thing. There's litigation against landlords for that. But that's not a "protected class" thing, it's an antitrust thing.
Hmm, why don't they make iodized flaky salt?

But message sending included properties and KVO/KVC that basically every object in an iphone/osx program used. It wasn’t long until they started to @synthesize these cause everything was a property. Yes, full-C modules could be written and C “interop” was just code, but the main use case was dynamic as hell with a little type checking peppered over it. They promised that objc_msgSend was fast and assembly, of course, but that is dynamic dispatch in basically every line of code still.

If the US government is "chucking all their secret data" into OpenAI servers/models, frankly they deserve everything they get for that level of stupidity.
If we only look at the hardware (not the software) for inference, does Nvidia have any advantage over Intel, AMD and Google?

They all build GPUs/TPUs that can run LLMs, correct?
I worked for a number of American companies, not beholden to also serve EU markers. They still did not demonstrate any cavalier attitudes towards PII though. Nobody wants to be the subject of some data leak front-page story.
Firstly, do note that the original text is talking about use of AI, this one line doesn't seem to be about banning AI so much as banning a use.

Secondly:

The implied basis here is that AI isn't just a product, it's also a service. This isn't you buying a pencil, it's you commissioning the drawing. Most of these products are cloud based SaaS.

And there's also the matter that "it's just a tool" doesn't really apply to foreseeable problems. If a suspicious person shows up out of nowhere buying large quantities of fertilizer, you don't get to go "Well he could be using that fertilizer for anything, not my problem". (This is relevant to AI as pretty much all AI services already have heavy restrictions on their output, this isn't a bunch of researchers publishing a paper and having bad actors implement their own AI based on that. We have companies openly advertising deepfake services.)
Asking for medical advice is a waste of your doctor's time? I'd rather do that than trust a bunch of random posts from people I don't know on a technology website.
Every time the republican party does something we do not like, it is both sides are the same. However, when democrats or even progressives not related to democrats do something wrong, it is "liberals are bad and awful".

There is no equivalent of Trump or JD Vance on the democratic side.
For me, the article is paywalled.
The latest generation of satellites use software-driven phase array beam forming antennas, effectively behaving like it has hundreds or thousands of tiny spot beams. That allows it "talk" on the same frequency to different receivers much closer (geographically) to each other than traditional systems.

Think beam-steering MIMO WiFi where a base station can direct the vast majority of its energy directly toward a client, meaning clients in other directions never see the transmission and so the noise floor is lower and bandwidth higher. Similarly such systems can "see" which direction a transmission comes from and so distinguish multiple clients transmitting simultaneously - much the same way your eyes have no trouble seeing two people waving at you from different directions even if they're twins and dressed identically: the spatial information is sufficient to tell them apart.

To a rough approximation the delta between the theoretical limit and practical limit is computationally driven these days and we've gotten really good at the computation part.
>it would be something like: "Scraping and training must be fair-use because

It wouldn't be "fair use". It makes no copies. "Fair use" is the horseshit the courts dreamt up so they could pretend copyright wasn't broken when a copy absolutely needed to be made.

This makes no copies, so it doesn't even need "fair use". Instead, there are people who believe that because they made something long ago that they and their descendants into the far future are entitled to tax everyone who might ever come across that thing let alone actually want copies of the thing.

Your argument must sound intelligent to you, but it starts from a premise of "of course copyright is the only non-lunatic policy people could ever imagine", and goes from there. You can't even think in any other terms.

> Also, where does the GNU Public License fall in terms of "anti-human copyright maximalization"? Is it bad because it uses fire, or is it good because it fights fire with fire?

Stallman is clever to twist the rules a little to get a comparatively sane result from them, but there are others who aren't clever enough to even recognize that that's what he's doing. So, in their minds "what about the gnu license" seems like a gotcha. I won't name those people, but their username starts with Terr and ends with an underscore.
> However, what bothers me is that people have been talking about it for 5+ years as if it had been fixed up to be at least as good a game as was originally promised. And that's just not true.

NVDA's market cap was already 12.5% of the entire yearly US-GDP, at a P/E of 10 or 20 once their growth slows to me that implies that their profits are expected to be 0.5-1% of the US GDP. Just nvda alone, not the LLM foundation models + application layers and so on built on top their hardware.

Even in the most optimistic case, I find it hard to imagine that nvidia alone captures much more than 1% of the US GDP as profits for the next 20 years or whatever their investor's horizon is.
You're not factually wrong, but framing this as a fight between calorie restriction vs healthy eating and siding with healthy eating isn't right either. Both methods work for some people. Both methods have low long term success rates because people struggle to stick with them.

Yes, intentionally restricting calories is hard for most overweight people. But eating healthy is also hard for most overweight people! And there's no guarantee it'll cause weight loss without calorie restriction. You can eat healthy foods and still have a large appetite and eat too much.

It's two different tools that each require different kinds of willpower. Sometimes one tool works better for some people. You can use both at once.

If there was an easy solution that worked well without willpower, we wouldn't have our current obesity rates. Hopefully the new weight loss drugs will help with this in the future.

why not? if we could get a version of ChatGPT that wasn't censored and would tell me how to make meth, or an censored version of deepseek that wanted to talk about tank man, you don't think the Internet would come together and make that happen?
"Shares resume fall" - I think you really mean it resumes being a super volatile stock. On a weekly basis it gains and drops 10-15%. I know because I buy when it drops 10-15% then sell when it pops back up. I've made over $20,000 trading on Nvidia volatility alone.

It used to stress me out, until I realized that I could profit off the volatility.

I don't think this is an effect of the bubble bursting. This week it swung from Friday closing around $148 to this week bottoming out at $118. Currently it's trading at $121 which is fairly normal for its range within the last 3 months. It's been averaging around $120-135 for the last 3 months. I know because I trade on it weekly. The sudden "investor confidence" is mostly the excitement of the AI super investment by Trump, hence the valuation up to $148 (Wish I had a sell order at 145 not 150, I would be in the money so much).
Is nitter still a thing?
No no no you don’t understand, the models will magically overcome issues and somehow become 100x and do real AGI! Any day now! It’ll work because LLM’s are basically magic!

I’ve taken to rinsing my glasses and bowls before using them for liquids. I figure the transfer from a plate to a sandwich can’t be bad enough for me to go full OCD on this (and wet sandwiches are weird), but if it’s coffee or soup I’m definitely getting a dose of any residues the dishwasher leaves. The higher efficiency ones have been clocked leaving more detergent residue behind.
I assume its just a market correction. I don't think AI is a reason, I just think some people come up with really bizarre conclusions and then the rest regurgitate it. Now had a major Nvidia competitor announced some highly competitive GPU or some AI that uses drastically less resources and can run on any GPU or CPU type of thing, maybe then I'd understand. Nvidia is still the key GPU in AI though.
I long for the day when my liver can also act as a particle accelerator
OpenAI couldn't do it, when the high cost of training and access to GPUs is their competitive advance against startups, they can't admit that it does not exist.
That's a claim without evidence. A sonic boom is a direct outcome of moving through the air faster than the air can move through itself.

How have they demonstrated that they know how to cause quieter sonic booms?

When I steal a thing from you, you no longer have the thing.

Lidsky is long dead (as are Pfirsch and Schmitter, who had similar critiques in Germany), but I like to think he'd have been a supporter of Helion. Helion's approach is close to what Lidsky advocated (aneutronic fusion), at least before Lidsky's student Todd Rider showed truly aneutronic fusion was not likely to work. However, the Helion approach has greatly reduced neutronicity, particularly of energetic DT neutrons, and exploits the kind of non-Maxwellian plasmas w. energy recovery/recirculation that Rider was analyzing.
And we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot to do so. If America is forced to use only the clunky corporate-owned American AI at a fee, we'll very quickly fall behind competitors worldwide who use DeepSeek models to produce better results for much, much cheaper.

Not to mention it'd defeat the whole purpose of a "free market" economy. (Not that that means much of anything anymore)
Fear and stress is actually the desired outcome.

I don’t understand you. What do you mean by this?
If it helps, I ran my 3a on Pixel Experience up until ~6 months ago, and it worked great. It's like having the exact same phone with extended upgrades.

I gave it away to someone who needed it more and upgraded to an 8a. My mission with this phone is to use it for 10 years.
Even if all that about training is true, the bigger cost is inference and Deepseek is 100x cheaper. That destroys OpenAI/Anthropic's value proposition of having a unique secret sauce so users are quickly fleeing to cheaper alternatives.

Google Deepmind's recent Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking is also priced at the new Deepseek level. It's pretty good (unlike previous Gemini models).

Netkit, which is what this is built on, is pretty neat. For transmitting packets from one container/VM to another, the conventional solution is to give each its own veth device. When you do that, the kernel network stack, at like the broad logic level, is sort of oblivious to the fact that the devices aren't real ethernet devices and don't have to go through the ethernet motions to transact.

Netkit replaces that logic with a simple pairing of sending and receiving eBPF programs; it's an eBPF cut-through for packet-level networking between networks that share a host kernel. It's faster, and it's simpler to reason about; the netkit.c code is pretty easy to read straight through.
