I remember when Adobe Flash Player would report bugs in Polish language, because my Windows was Polish. Googling the bug message was problematic, because most discussion is done in the international, English language. So the next time I was installing Windows, I made sure to choose English as the language. The same goes for browsers and pretty much everything else.
My thoughts about the Zettelkasten note taking methodology
> Do you really think you can design a tokamak Stellarator with pen and paper ?

No, but you can draw a very nice strawman on pen an paper.

> The "topological optimization" button on their physical simulator,

A engineering tool for topological optimization is similar to "AI tools" only in the sense that a big amount of numbers are crunched together. Saying that they "are the same" is like saying that a shark is the same as a kangaroo.

Besides, for tokamak and others, I doubt that off-the-shelf tools were enough for them. I would bet that they had to build their own tools anyway.

> Do you really think deep-seek can't use your COMSOL or Ansys multiphysics tool

A monkey can "use" those tools, as long as they have bright buttons and he's conditioned to press them for food. That doesn't mean that I would trust the results it comes with.

> but let your local AI play for a day with a MHD simulator ... and the sky is not the limit.

The limit is still death, which can come much much faster than the sky.

Records.. Wasn't Dictionary an ECMA5 proposal or was that just a novel touch in AS3?

[edit: For those who don't know, Dictionary was a type in AS3 that let you use any object reference or string or number as a unique key, with any type of value attached. Garbage collection worked around this so it wasn't a weak reference as long as the dictionary object itself was alive. Think of a Javascript Set except with strongly typed keys of any kind you specified. Errors thrown at compile time. God..I miss that language.]

Here in Switzerland, even burger joints have this for all major ingredients (meat, potato, veggies, bun made by really local bakers etc.). Heck, even McDonald has it, which is the worst tasting & looking on the market, and not necessarily cheapest.

If population cares about it enough companies adapt, even if 50km down the road in another country they sell lower quality with same name (EU generally is less strict re food quality, but both tower high above what US FDA permits).
This chart is not that meaningful unless you compensate for the size of the population from each nation of origin.

Musk has consistently pushed his companies into higher risk acceptance and financed those moon-shots to deliver a product that had a demand but not a supply (reusable rockets, electric cars, low-orbit internet satellite network). Also the tunnel thing, neuralink, and a handful of other smaller and less successful gambits.

I don't see him having the same benefits tackling financial transactions. There are already multiple players with significant regulatory capture, significant centralization, on top of established reputations.
I had the impression the implementation happens first, then the ratification later when things worked out well.

So that you can update the UI to show the new time zone? Or change the time format to indicate that it’s no longer in the same time zone as the user is in? That’s just off the top of my head, I’m sure there’s more.
They didn't say anything about 50% being the minimum level for a crisis. There is no "but" because they are two different topics. One is "how far out could an impact be predicted at 50/50 probability" and the other is "at what probability of impact would it become a serious issue/crisis".
I get the dislike for Musk politically but I guess I'm just too broke or something to understand it affecting purchasing decisions that much.

When I buy something I usually look at the product, company history of fucking over consumers and price. I don't really care if the CEO/CTO/CFO/COO/owner was caught at every Diddy and Epstein party to date when it comes to my purchasing decision if his company's product is the best fit.

It only plays a role if I have two equally good products to decide between.

Especially for expensive purchases since I'm not about to burn even a weekly salary to not increase some executive I dislike's worth by the equivalent to him of a prechewed piece of store brand gum.
No, the Twitter/X post is gone but the archives.broadcastify.com link is still good.
Yes, but we were duped at the time, so it’s right and good that we maintain light on and anger at the ongoing manipulation, in the hope of next time recognizing it as it happens, not after they’ve used us, screwed us, and walked away with a vast fortune.

Temporal is great. I've been using it for a while in production using a polyfill [1], and it solves all issues I've encountered with the old Date() API (which is a lot).

It clearly takes inspiration from other high-quality time libraries such as chrono in Rust and Joda Time in Java and combines them into a nice API that's pretty comfortable to use.

Yes, it is a bit more complex to handle since it separates time into naive time, instant and zoned time. But by experience, developers only confront complexity when they are forced to, and time _is_ complex.

If you want to do the operation "add one day to this timestamp", you _must_ decide whether that timestamp is local to a specific timezone and which one. Otherwise you'll get a bug twice per year due to DST, or when the user switches time zones, or when you deploy on a server with a different timezone.

It even solves the serialization issue of the difference between a "fixed-offset" timestamp (e.g. 2025-01-01T00:00+02:00) and one in a specific timezone (e.g. Europe/Paris).

To round out the big 4, there's also Pyre from Meta. I haven't used it myself, as when I last checked it had a low number of PEPs covered, but I've heard some good words for it.
Sure. This is fine. Data is still a product, no matter how much businesses would like to turn it into a service.

The model already embodies the "total sum of a massive amount of compute" used to create it; if it's possible to reuse that embodied compute to create a better model, that's good for the world. Forcing everyone to redo all that compute for themselves is, conversely, bad for the world.
My very non-technical family that doesn't use HN or Reddit has a very negative view of him now.

This argument seems fallacious: the stock was "hit" before security issues emerged. It's hard to say how this recent news will affect the stock, directly and indirectly through eventual damage that follows. Imagine that the security issues were 1000 times worse: you could still write the same comment, but the reputation of DeepSeek and by extension all Chinese AI and software would be so badly hurt that long term any Chinese success would be downplayed, having lesser effect on stock market. If Nvidia stock would recover or not is more nuanced, because market is speculative, and if a bubble is burst, even if what pierced it turns out to be fake/irrelevant, the bubble is no longer there (a new one may need a lot of time and effort to grow).

From TFA:

> When JavaScript was created in 1995, the Date object was copied from Java's early, flawed java.util.Date implementation. Java replaced this implementation in 1997, but JavaScript is stuck with the same API for almost 30 years, despite known problems.

I'm not a JavaScript or web developer, and I was surprised by the above. Can anyone comment on why the language was stuck with an inadequate api for so long? What are the forces at work here?
We’ve had Map with those semantics since 2014, came out in Chrome a few months before Set.

In "The Revolution of the Giving Hand" (2009), Peter Sloterdijk proposes replacing mandatory taxation with voluntary contributions. He criticizes the state as a "fiscal feudalism" that expropriates citizens and instead advocates for a culture of generosity, where wealthy individuals voluntarily fund public services.

He points to American philanthropy as a model. Critics argue this is unrealistic since essential state functions depend on reliable tax revenue. Sloterdijk’s idea is thought-provoking but difficult to implement.

Could a voluntary tax system actually work? I really like the idea.

Even "dynamic" isn't a true dynamic in C#, it ends up invoking methods via reflection, and using it for anything other than foreign COM objects is a massive code smell.
As fullshark commented above, there is no value to wild speculation. Wait for the facts, avoid the noise and wild speculation. We do not have many facts as of 1/29 overnight.

(Next thing is how would we ever falsify a wild theory like that to the satisfaction of all speculators, given we only have the ATC recording, not the audio from the helicopter (assuming the Black Hawk didn't have a black box, as seems to be the case from what I've read so far)).

Kinda, sorta yeah. If I'm split between a Tesla and SOMETHING ELSE, be it an electric MG, CNG Golf, Petrol MX-5 or Diesel A3 it'd play a role but that's too much of an edge case for 41% (of course it's a combination of things but still)

Teslas are unique enough to where it feels like if you want a Tesla, you want a Tesla. It's not like deciding between the Audi, Skoda, VW or Seat trim of the 90% same car when you want a normal ICE econobox.
To be fair I don't think fascists were too big fans of the oligarchy either. Much like other kind of socialists, they used the state power to challenge the liberal oligarchy of their time. So it's more correct to say that wealth disparity and unchecked billionaires with too much power may encourage the masses to support radical political movements, such as fascism and communism, as a counter measure.

If you're into homemade instruments and the process behind making them, bellowphone is fun one to check out. He goes into detail about his builds and also has performances of himself playing his wacky creations.
Just to clear up the confusion here: there's basically no risk to this device. It's not inventing numbers on its own. It's simply a secondary display to the same data that's on the phone. The phone alarms are still there, and can't be disabled, not to mention the insulin pump, which also alarms independently.
One of the incidental benefits we've seen from a BFF pattern is improving performance in a heavily microservices oriented architecture: instead of the frontend talking to a myriad of services directly, it only talks to the BFF, and BFF aggregates all the data within the same datacenter (inside AWS). This could lead to worse performance too if not done well (concurrently), so it's not a silver bullet either.

Another thing is that it allows us to switch underlying implementations as we rearchitect the system, but that's simply due to it being an API gw, and not because it's a BFF.

There seem to be two kinda incompatible things in this article:
1. R1 is a distillation o1. This is against it's terms of service and possibly some form of IP theft.
2. R1 was leveraging GPT-4 to make it's output seem more human. This is very common and most universities and startups do it and it's impossible to prevent.

When you take both of these points and put them back to back, a natural answer seems to suggest itself which I'm not sure the authors intended to imply: R1 attempted to use o1 to make its answers seem more human, and as a result it accidentally picked up most of it's reasoning capabilities in the process. Is my reading totally off?
Imagine having to type your password for every single shell command you execute. Not just for the line you typed, but per statement. A subshell counts as at least one; so does each segment of a pipe. Then, if any of those statements run a shell script, this applies recursively. Then, for any actutal program that runs, you have to confirm every syscall with a password too.

That's what "every system should be authenticated and authorized" feels like in the limit. So in practice, it always boils down to how deep you go before the overhead starts to eclipse any benefit you get from running the system.

In the latest furor over deepseek r1 the conversation online was _substantially_ worse than what you'd get from feeding the original paper into r1 and talking to it.

This was the first time where I genuinely wondered what the point of reading groups, message boards and similar is. A model that you can run locally for $6,000 at 20tokens/s beat however many thousands of people because it actually spent the time to read what it talked about.

I agree. It makes sense when the code needs to handle domain specific words.

Based on my experience in Norway, it is common to use English but there is also not a complete surprise to find code in Norwegian either.

I remember looking at code written by a Norwegian government agency many years ago, and asking why they used Norwegian names for functions and variables. Didn't everyone use English? The answer was that they had so much domain specific terminology that it is not only hard to find English equivalents, it was so ingrained in the business logic that they don't want to risk any confusion and legal consequences. If a function was named validateFoo, then "Foo" had a single shared understanding.
> I'm also not worried about AI making humanoid bodies. I'd be worried about a future where mines, factories, and logistics are fully automated: an AI for whom we've constructed a body which is effectively the entire planet.

I know scifi is not authoritative, and no more than human fears made into fiction, but have you read Philip K. Dick's short story "Autofac"?

It's exactly what you describe. The AI he describes isn't evil, nor does it seek our extinction. It actually wants our well-being! It's just that it's taken over all of the planet's resources and insists in producing and making everything for us, so that humans have nothing left to do. And they cannot break the cycle, because the AI is programmed to only transition power back to humans "when they can replicate Autofac output", which of course they cannot, because all the raw resources are hoarded by the AI, which is vastly more efficient!
