Why is it more plausible than the explanation provided by the company? That's what I'm asking. Especially when you consider the PR downsides of saying your company has been hacked.

Maybe there's a history of the company lying, or some other evidence that it's not an attack that I haven't seen, etc.

What's the Root Cause? – a quiz
This is terrible, honestly. One of the reasons I use Bitwarden is to be able to not know all my passwords besides the Bitwarden one. I don't know my email password, so can't use that for 2FA. Same for using my phone number or an authenticator app, if I lose my phone, I would also be locked out of my account.

The risk of someone stealing my phone is much higher than someone stealing my main password where I live. I intentionally decided not to use 2FA, because that is what makes most sense for my context. I'm ready to take full responsibility for not using 2FA, but now I can't.
This is the real key. They have an awful reputation amongst technical people (for good reason) but that reputation largely fades away the less technical you are. The average person knows them for their effective marketing, seemingly low prices, and seemingly decent products. They don't get into the weeds enough to expose how untrue those things really are.

For a long time, I worked in an office across from their (now former) headquarters in the Scottsdale Air Park. The number of clients we had come in amazed that we must work so closely with them and expecting great things made the location of the office so invaluable that when they moved to Tempe and Chandler, we had to seriously discuss internally if we needed to follow them.
Today is WHOIS sunsetting day for gTLDs, per ICANN
> As of 28 January 2025, the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) will be the definitive source for delivering generic top-level domain name (gTLD) registration information in place of sunsetted WHOIS services. RDAP offers several advantages over WHOIS including support for internationalization, secure access to data, authoritative service discovery, and the ability to provide differentiated access to registration data. RDAP was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force.
As a product builder and someone who’s worked closely with early-stage startups, I’ve seen a common challenge: they get cloud credits from multiple platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure, but usually stick to just one because that’s what they’re familiar with. The rest of the credits? They go unused.

This is where the Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model wins. It lets startups easily use those credits across multiple providers, saving money and making the most of what’s already available.

If you’re curious about what BYOC is and why you might want to implement it, you can check out Northflank blog to learn more.
It goes without saying that being high on anything while driving is dangerous to others. Although, in my experience, people high on cannabis just drive dangerously slow.

This differs from drugs like alcohol, which inherently increase people’s propensity to be a danger to others.

I guess we have had different experiences with the smell of cannabis, but back from when I worked in a hotel, the protocol for when a person smoked cannabis in a room was to just leave the window and door open for 15 minutes, and no one would be the wiser after that.

Whereas, if someone smoked cigarettes in the room, the cleaning process was far more costly.
>The card is the unique identifier assigned by the bank.

The account number is the unique identifier assigned by the bank. Your card is the physical "key" (password) to said account, and the PIN is your self chosen identifier (username).

Think of it this way: I can tell you my pin number and my bank account number all day long, it doesn't matter if you don't have my card. But if you had my card, you'd have a reasonable shot at guessing the PIN and gaining access. The card is the password.
By that logic, Go shouldn't have generics but they've added a lot of value to our codebase.

If you want reputable sources of information, books are unparalleled like it or not, it's a fact.

> "students should be at a table with a book and that's it"

That's not what I meant (or yes if you take what you read literally):

What I meant was whole process that your brain goes through when you read, synthesize information, take notes, do an exercise, check answers, compare different explanations/definitions from different authors, etc. makes at least from my point of view a rich way to study a topic.

I'm not saying that technology can't help you out. When you watch for example a 3brown1blue video you are definitely putting good use of technology to aid you to understand or literally "view" a concept. That's ok and actually in many cases can be revealing. You can't get that from a book! But on the other side a book also forces you to do the hard work of thinking and maybe come up with such visualizations and ideas by your own.

Happy to be pointed as an "Amish" when it comes to studying/learning things ;) but I hope that I convinced you that what I explained has nothing of Amish but that you don't need a source of power to read a book.

I don't think I was fear mongering here, not sure if that was referencing someone else.

I also wasn't just talking about LLM energy use here. I agree most people's footprint from LLM use is extremely low relative to what else they do. There is likely lower hanging fruit, though you also must agree that doesn't mean we might as well use a little bit more just because its a small amount.

Maybe cutting LLM use out of your equation is small, but do you really need it? I'd assume not, I'd also assume there are larger items you could cut if you really looked and it wouldn't hurt your day to day life at all.

That said, I don't know you at all so I could very well be wrong on the specific case. I would stand behind the argument broadly though, most people could remove a lot of use from their lives and may even find themselves happier for it.

there hasn't been supersonic civil aviation, as far as i am aware, since the concorde was grounded. there are no active commercial aircraft capable of going supersonic.

this is significant because it's the first civil aircraft to reach that milestone since the ending of the concorde program.
Yep. Just added Deepseek yesterday. The R1 model never returns output via the API so it is currently disabled, but you can access the V3 model even with the free version.

Deepseek has been having some issues recently: https://status.deepseek.com/
Even the full 7b model's results are relatively low-res (384x384) so its hard for me to imagine the generative aspect of the 1b model would be useable.

Trump announces chip tariffs up to 100%
No, they’ve acknowledged the policy. The US has not “agreed” with the policy, which is different.

Also, as someone in the US I can very safely say that Taiwan is not China and have no concern for my safety.
Thanks. There is a lot of lumping together in the above link. I would love to see each platform (and AI platforms as well) and their annual energy consumption.

Why would anyone bet? They can just short the OpenAI / MS stocks, and see in a few months if they were right or not.
Previously Boom's CEO said this:

“That’s not travel, that’s like a thing you might hope to do once in a lifetime,” says Scholl, before adding, “Versus where we want to get, which is anywhere in the world in four hours for 100 bucks.”[1]

Anywhere in the world in four hours for $100 USD really caught people's imagination and attention. I'm puzzled by how they will achieve this.

> there hasn't been supersonic civil aviation

There still isn’t, and this is not a very interesting stepping stone. We already knew that we could fly a plane quickly. This company has no engines for their allegedly full scale plane. The last manufacturer dropped them a few years ago, and there has been no movement in that direction. This demonstrates the easiest part of what they’re trying to do, not the hardest.

This is the equivalent of a hand drawn ui mockup for a future “AGI workstation”, while not at all addressing the “AGI” part
This breaks go's readability and explicit nature. No thanks. The author doesn't understand the implications of the proposal. What if the args are in a different order returned? "foo, error" or "error, *foo" ? - I've seen many permutations of this. Being explicit about error handling is actually a good thing.
The card is a physical representation of your account number, readable with a magstripe scanner. It's analogous to a username written on a scrap of paper.

Despite the misnomer, a PIN can't really be an identifier if you and I have the same one.

Using slice twice is pretty clever. That might work.

But my real point is they did have the digit sum insight. Their code was already doing your previous suggestion, and if there's a compact way to slice in typescript types it could be adapted to this new method by replacing SUM_TABLE and changing one other line.

The only difference is that they're doing a sum modulo 9 instead of modulo 3, but both of those work fine.

I have a child and I'll be honest it was only when she was like 5 that I'd say that she was more complex than a dog. Small children cannot be reasoned with, only bribed and given sufficient motivation or demotivation via a carefully balanced set of prizes and punishments.

After that she could be reasoned with, but had reduced ability to keep to her intention long term due to lack of experience and inability to imagine outcomes, so a lot of teaching an early elementary schooler involves setting up experiments to demonstrate the wisdom or lack of wisdom in particular actions. At least in my parenting. I imagine this is what is meant.
I tend to agree that ? looks like "if then" when what we really want is some sort of coalescing, or "if not then".

foo ?? { bar }

foo ?/ { bar }

foo ?: { bar }

foo ?> { bar }

foo ||> { bar }

Im not sure I like the idea at all though. It seems like a hack around a pretty explicit design choice. Although I do tend to agree the error handling boilerplate is kind of annoying.
> Parts of our own Earth aren't in the habitable zone, by that definition.

What parts would that be? Even the polar caps have huge liquid water oceans underneath. Unless you’re talking about the mantle or molten core, there are no uninhabitable areas on earth as per astrobiology (not even miles underground).

> Not all life in the universe may require liquid water, nor require it 24/7.

You might as well be talking about leprechauns and unicorns and Horta. Water is the universal solvent and has at least five unique properties that are as critical to life as carbon’s ability to form four chemical bonds.

You’re correct that moons experiencing tidal heating can contain liquid water, but that’s irrelevant to a planet. The habitable zone is specifically talking about planets (rocky ones at that), not any arbitrary satellite. It’s a term of art in astronomy, not a colloquialism.
This comment chain is about smoking indoors in apartment buildings and more broadly the general rights of smoker's vs non-smokers in a historical sense. To pretend that my comment was in any way about being outdoors and occasionally smelling a whiff of cigarette smoke is either ignorant or malicious, just so you could pretend to be making some gotcha counterpoint.
Humans have a tendency to downplay what we have and focus on what's missing (missing tile syndrome and whatnot).

> The Olympics are choking themselves to death right now. I can recall sitting on the sidewalk watching the torch relay for Los Angeles 1984, but today the Olympics is just eighteen months of irritating ads followed by three weeks of media clucking.

Avoiding NBC's Primetime coverage has been huge to my enjoyment of the Olympics in recent games. Having the streaming apps to watch the events I want, in full, often without commercial breaks is an absolute game changer. Also, you avoid all the 15 minute long fluff pieces about the guy who grew up in small town nowhere and now is the 92nd best javelin thrower in the world hyping him up as the closest thing to a living god as is imaginable.

This change would mark a turn in the language's evolution, as it would be the first implicit variable to be added to the language.

I'm not going to invoke the slippery slope argument, but what distinguishes Go from the pack is how explicit it is. It can make it more tedious to write, but also much easier to follow as a reader.
Agreed.

ODS was pretty bad. CDS was very self destructive for the GOP. BDS helped give Jr a second term.
Agreed, that's not a useful argument when its posed that way. That is only one way of seeing it though.

The question, in my opinion, isn't whether LLMs are a huge energy suck and we should be worked. My question is whether its really needed at all, regardless of how much energy it may or may not use relative to other things.

People's needs really are pretty simple at the end of the day. Food, water, shelter, (the feeling of) safety, community. We just aren't good at defining enough and some people are very good at convincing us that we don't need to even consider that concept.

I think what's happened here is that you didn't get the joke. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hunter2
An individual user's model usage is negligible, in that you should not feel bad about querying an LLM unless you feel approximately 1000 times worse about drinking a cup of coffee. But Google/Microsoft provide services for hundreds of millions, or even billions, of users.

In the same way, if your service was hairdryers (owing to progress in hot-air-over-IP) and you had 300 million users, you'd need 300 million * 2000W * 10 minutes = 100000MWh daily, or about 5 copies of the nuclear power plant the Microsoft are opening. You could look at it as those hairdryer power plants already effectively existing, just distributed as a small portion of many plants.
"I hope we can put to rest the argument that LLMs are only marginally useful in coding"

I more often heard the argument, they are not useful for them. I agree.
If a LLM would be trained on my codebase and the exact libaries and APIs I use - I would use them daily I guess. But currently they still make too many misstake and mess up different APIs for example, so not useful to me, except for small experiments.

But if I could train deepseek on my codebase for a reasonable amount(and they seemed to have improved on the training?), running it locally on my workstation: then I am likely in as well.
Couldn't you load the whole thing into a database or memory and use it as a RAG source? Not sure if that would fully scratch the itch.

I had the same question. From their FAQ (https://boomsupersonic.com/faq):

> Will Overture use afterburners like Concorde?

> No. Overture will fly without the use of afterburners, meeting the same strict regulatory noise levels as the latest subsonic airplanes. The airliner will be powered by the Symphony propulsion system. Symphony will be a medium-bypass turbofan engine designed and optimized for environmentally and economically sustainable supersonic flight.
Mostly just ChatGPT 4o and o1. I feel like I get an 80% hit rate on software questions.
"Or, how do you get them to use a recent API that doesn't dominate their training data?"

Paste in the documentation or some examples. I do this all the time - "teaching" an LLM about an API it doesn't know yet is trivially easy if you take advantage of the longer context inputs to models these days.
I never said it was wrong, I'm just saying a lot of people became instant experts on topics they had no idea even existed 24 hours ago, including people with grand techno prophecies and people giving financial advices

There’s a faq entry about how these stats are computed [0]. Basically using git blame, since aider is tightly integrated with git.

The faq links to the script that computes the stats. It’s not designed to be used on any repo, but you (or aider) could adapt it.

You’re not the first to ask for these stats about your own repo, so I may generalize it at some point.

I don't really believe that LLMs will make us dumber. It only changes what we decide to put our attention. It's the same that happened with Google, it changed our relationship with information. Even though it has several shortcomings the ability of just look things up instead of having to hold everything in our heads was a net positive for society.

And I suspect the same will happen for LLMs, in the end we will just start thinking in "another level of abstraction". We are still in the early days and still have a lot to learn about how to properly use this new toll but I think LLMs are a positive change for society.
It would be really useful to see these evaluated across some of the same evals that the original R1 and deepseek's distills were evaluated on.
While I see these things popping up, for queries about US politics I see ChatGPT more detailed / correct, Deepseek is less biased. ChatGPT sometimes just say ,,controversial'' for some things even if I ask it to be explicit and leave the value judgements for me.

Deepseek does the same things, but after I tell it to not do those judgements, it listens better.
Legal is not the only justification though. Depending on how visible the UGC is to other users, spam/porn/phishing could quickly degrade the site's user experience and reputation.
