Is Colorado's EV incentive worth it?
That's an odd objection. Garmin's optical heart rate sensor accuracy might be slightly worse than Apple's under certain limited conditions, depending on how you test. But anyone who really cares about precise heart rate uses a chest strap anyway.
That's not historically what's happened though, is it? We've had plenty of opportunities to reduce the human workload through increased efficiency. What usually happens is people demand more - faster deliveries, more content churn; and those of us who are quite happy with what we have are either forced to adapt or get left behind while still working the same hours.
Yes, but that's entirely orthogonal to the "coding" algorithms being used and which are specifically responsible for the improvement that GP was describing.

HLS is really just a way to empower the client with the ownership of the playback logic. Let the client handle forward buffering, retries, stream selection, etc.
This appears to be Qwen's new best model, API only for the moment, which they say is better than DeepSeek v3.
Based on the legal code, around here it's slang for "crazy".

Barcroft Station in California (elevation 3800 m) has house number 5150 over the door. You'd have to be crazy to want to work there.
May come down to philosophical differences - but I'd prefer humanity to continue progressing, curing diseases, learning about the Universe, improving quality of life, etc. as far as we can, as opposed to deciding at some point (or gradually) that we've had enough. Threshold for new advancements should not be whether we absolutely need it, but whether it does more good than harm - which I think is easily the case for LLMs and other machine learning models.

the pause screen thing. Just use the screen snip program
Same with British Columbia, Canada. There are a lot of unidentified waterways. In Victoria, BC, virtually everything ends up going down a small inlet called "the gorge". It's not quite correct to consider it a stream, river, creek, etc.

Still a really cool idea, and when it works well it's good fun. I can see there being great practical applications if it was more accurate too (though I'm sure the people who could put it to use already have good data)

Legend says the Tu-144 used afterburners the whole time while supersonic, but, then, it seems five units have engines without afterburners (RD-36-51's replacing the Kuznetsov NK-144 used in most of the fleet).

I wonder what was the noise level in those late models.
Ofc whenever I need a insecure four-digit pin I use 2501 - so people will know me when they meet me again.
I never said it’s in the same ballpark, i literally agreed with you but feel free to apply any kind of bad faith logic to what I wrote
"You can draw the line for when AI will truly blow your mind anywhere you want, the point is the dominoes keep falling relentlessly and there’s no end in sight"

I draw the line, when the LLM will be able to help me with a novel problem.

It is impressive how much knowledge was encoded into them, but I see no line from here to AGI, which would be the end here.
Every Olympic sport has an annual championship in different cities at different times in Olympic off years. Having everyone together in one place at one time is what makes the Olympics special. Special for the athletes, live spectators & host city alike. The more the Olympics are spread out physically, the less special it is for the most people.

On the other hand, I know this is a little naive since most of the money revolves around TV rights. Also, as a TV spectator, 24 hour live coverage (like the Watanabe is suggesting in the article) of the Olympics sounds pretty cool. I wonder if the TV networks would like this. It probably solves a lot of the logistical issues host cities have been having as well. This also avoids the worst outcome of coming to a point where only a few host cities, like LA and Paris, can reasonably meet all the IOC's demands games after games.
Much needed features, I am onboard!
Since then there's manifold. It's even faster.

To be clear, it was an hour years ago, now it's 1m40s. This includes all post processing and PNG rendering too.
This is very useful. Thank you.

so basically there is not much reason to go beyond DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B, at least for coding tasks
This is how I use Bitwarden too, and it's the one thing I definitely don't want 2FA on.
I'll take another look at them thanks.

I'd still prefer a band over a smart watch. When I initially looked at them they were very bulky and only had a few days battery life, but its been a while.
The problem with frameworks is with feature/need fit. Sometimes you need something simple and using a framework results in a big percentage of dead code. Or you extend it enough that there’s no longer any benefits.
I overall like it and would prefer a world where Go had this spec implemented versus did not.

Criticism:

> Within the block a new variable err is implicitly declared, possibly shadowing other variables named err

Shadowing here is strange, and I would prefer a design where it did not shadow other variables named err, but rather threw a compiler error concerning the re-declaration of a variable. That would effectively mean that you can't mix-and-match this syntax with old error-handling inside one function, because code like this would fail to compile:

func Test() {
user, err := GetUser("12345")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
EmailUser(user) ? {
panic(err)
}
}

I'm fearful the shadowing will be confusing, because one might try to reference that shadowed error within the block in (rare) situations where you need to return the synthesis of two error values, and you'll need to know the trivia of: `err` is a special name, I shouldn't name that shadowed variable `err`, let me name it `err2`. Granted: throwing a compiler error would also disallow this and force you to name the first variable `err2`; but at least the compiler is telling you the problem, rather than relying on your knowledge of new trivia.
Why is it pointing at the same spot for a year ?

Is it to get a more exhaustive survey single star or can full of stars? Or does that help it find smaller/further/different planets?

And how do they pick where to point at? Is there a way of guessing the likelihood of finding a planet?
Did giant Ice Age beasts carve these caves in South America?
Yea I wrote it more to illustrate that the “getting passively stoned from smoke on the street” argument is kinda ridiculous
But the "basic statistical reality" is also "there are a lot more known/accessible planets outside of the zone in which liquid water exists naturally on the surface", which leads to a quantity vs quality consideration for which we don't have enough information to decide right now.

The only thing more exhausting than people acting like an election instantly makes everything great and the world is now going to be amazing is the people acting like it's literally the end of the world.

You will not be substantially better or worse off a half-decade from now than you would have been in a slightly different circumstance.
given that there's no standardized scale of usefulness, is the distinction between "useful" for one person vs "incredibly useful", when nothing concrete has been specified; is that distinction really the important thing here? both of you find it useful. I might go off on a long tangent about how I love my hammer, it's the best, and you'll think I'm ridiculous because it's just a hammer, but at the end of the day, we can both agree that the hammer is doing the job of driving in nails.
The streaming app for the Paris Olympics was a revolution from which I can never go back to OTA coverage. I watched so many more competitions and in sports that are never broadcast in the US because they are too niche or are not popular enough in the US for people to know about. Gee, maybe they are not popular because nobody has ever seen a match!
> "Look, the way this works is we're going to tell you it's totally hopeless to compete with us on training foundation models. You shouldn't try, and it's your job to try anyway, and I believe both of those things."

He’s only saying that he’s not incentivized to make a small and scrappy team compete with OpenAI. I don’t think you should read this as “Sam Altman says small companies will never produce valuable AI models”.
> Do you think just because you don’t use LinkedIn to apply for jobs no one does?

I think that because I don't it's not essential (if it were essential I wouldn't be able to avoid it), and I think that treating a social media platform as an essential part of your livelihood is unhealthy for reasons like this.

I'm not excusing LinkedIn from culpability here, just offering hope that there is life after LinkedIn.
> Bitwarden itself recommends printing out a recovery code and storing it in a safe, but what happens if you lose access to that safe?

I feel like your own creativity is limiting you here. There are lots of options to store those backup codes. Including giving them to multiple relatives to keep in a safe place so you can call and ask for it, creating a dedicated email account with no 2fa and email the code there, leave yourself a saved answerphone message with it on so you can dial in and listen, write it in the important info section of your passport so you always have it abroad etc etc...
Then I guess I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Are you saying that the problem is unsolvable and people should just accept that?
I don’t get it? What is it and how do I use it?
I hadn't; I should try.

> "Yeah, but LLMs can't handle millions of lines of crufty old Java" is a guaranteed reply any time this topic comes up.

That's not at all what the GP was saying, though:

> There's no need to implement half the code, realize the requirements weren't specified properly, and go back and have a conversation with the PM about it. Which is, you know, what developers actually do.
I wonder what prompt they use. Before asking DeekSeek – is there a good post/video that walks through this procedure?
> for each tool to ... "do one thing well."

There is a lot of merit to this statement, as applied to `go tool` usage and to security scanning. Just went through a big security vendor analysis and POCs. In the middle I saw Filippo Valsorda post [1] about false positives from the one stop shops, while govulncheck (language specific) did not have them. At the same time, there was one vendor who did not false positive with the reachability checks on vulns. While not always as good, one-stop-shops also add value by removing a lot of similar / duplicated work. Tradeoffs and such...

What DeepSeek's AI Did That Everyone Else's Didn't
Agree and disagree. You do it need a “degree in AI”. However, you need to be using AI in your degree. Really using it.

What are those “day to day business needs” that you think people are going to do without AI?

In my view, this is like 1981. If you are saying, we will still need non-computer people for day-to-day business needs, you are wrong. Even the guy in the warehouse and the receptionist at the front are using computers. So is the CEO. That does not mean that everybody can build one, but just think of the number of jobs in a modern company that require decent Excel skills. It is not just the one in finance. We probably don’t know what the “Excel” of AI is just yet but we are all going to need to be great at it, regardless of who is building the next generation of tools.
It took me a day to get used to the new UI but now I love it - just goes to show that you’ll can only get UX wrong/UX is hard. It’s good to have both options configurable though!

And none of those smart people have come up with any experimental evidence that it’s actually possible. No equivalent to amino acids or nucleotides or saccharides or… the list goes on.

I’m not talking about SETI, I’m talking about basic chemistry experiments. There are tons of experiments that can spontaneously form amino acids and nucleotides, even way outside the parameters normally considered habitable.
Too much productivity can be a bad thing.

If you’re infinitely productive, then the solution to every problem is to just keep producing stuff, instead of learning to say no.

This means a lot of companies will overbuild, and then drown in maintenance problems and fail catastrophically when they can’t keep up.
For those wanting to jump to where it goes supersonic, it happens a little after minute 11 on the flight time. The camera shots are clearer during subsonic flight, then it gets fairly blurry. The takeoff and climb were interesting to see; also before it goes supersonic the shots from the air are remarkably clear.
It's not too bad given that it runs in your browser. I took your prompt and asked GPT-4o mini to elaborate on it and got this https://imgur.com/a/qmQ7ZHl

This is the first supersonic aircraft in a long time that started as a civilian one and was never intended for military applications. Loses points for the military engines though.

Still impressively cool.
I love the dynamic aspect of it, looking forward to utilizing it!
That's entirely contrary to my understanding and implementation of GTD - which is to have daily "scans" of my inboxes to see what tasks have come in since the last scan, bucket them into the appropriate categories/lists/record-keeping systems, and then _close those inboxes_ until the next scan. If anything, GTD keeps me _more_ interruption-free, by strictly ringfencing the times that I am open to processing new task-requests.
Given the mass of the planet, if there's a lot of water it's entirely possible there could be oceans which stay warm due to a hot core.

Where's the fact coming from, as in it's higher than before? I seem to be getting more than ever recruiting emails, and have felt out interviewing at a few places which we're very eager to find staff level talent.
I was responding to this bit:

> This is the kind of stuff LLMs are great at, but it's not representative of a typical change request by Java Developer #1753 at Fortune 500 Enterprise Company #271.
>None of that rules out life on other chemistries

Is the upshot of this observation supposed to be that PLATO should change its plans and direct its telescope in a different direction because it has more promising places to look than the habitable zones around stars?

If not, and if you can understand why it's prioritizing that, then why do you take this definition of habitability to be tantamount to denying the possibility of discovering other forms of life? For those possibilities to be relevant to a research program, they need to be motivated by something more than "gee, hey, you never know."

So it's not for lack of reflection on those possibilities that we arrive at this operative definition of habitability. There are pertinent reasons for moving forward with this definition that don't amount to denying other boutique possibilities. Construing it that way I think is just an uncharitable interpretation.
I agree. It would be pretty hopeless if OpenAI had to compete with a model trained on less than $10M - can't they just buy DeepSeek and rebrand it?
I've watched it and TheQuantifiedScientist is totally missing the point. Current optical sensors on the wrist are plenty accurate enough for general health and fitness tracking. If you don't believe me then you can literally count your pulse with your finger and compare against the watch: very close. Optical sensors aren't great for high-intensity training so for those activities everyone knows you need to use a chest strap if you want accurate data.

For a more practical take on heart rate accuracy see the DC Rainmaker reviews instead.

To be fair the FIFA world cup has usually been split among many cities. Putting it in different countries changes almost nothing.

Brazil hosted it all over their country so it completely irrelevant if those cities were in brazil or an adjoining country due to the size of brazil and how hard it is to travel to some of their FIFA sites.
At these prices, I would just get 2xDigits for $6k and have 256gb.
We had a huge boom due to the low interest rates allowing businesses to pay developers with borrowed money, effectively operating at a loss for years on the basis of future growth. Now interest rates have risen the need to actually be profitable has caused a lot of optimization and lower hiring overall.

Well there’s a couple of things at play here

- extreme survivorship bias in the tech and startup world distorts your expectations

- most startups fail, most businesses do not see exceptional returns

- intelligence is necessary (in most cases) but not sufficient for getting wealthy

- If you work in big tech with an MBA you’re probably much wealthier than the median USian.

- I suspect that lifestyle creep/peer comparison is distorting your view of your own personal wealth.

So yeah, there’s a number of cognitive biases that are distorting your ability to assess yourself here. What level of wealth are you aiming for? It would be easier to work backward from that number and try to model what you’d need to do to hit it.

Again, as a conservative, I hate to see Trump taking another page out of the woke playbook. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico, apart from being an insult to one of our closest allies, is akin to tearing down a statue you don't like. We should be preserving out history, even the parts we don't like.
this is hilarious.

hubris is a terrible thing. there is always bigger fish.
Yes but "we don't have enough to decide" means you have to lean on the single data point you have, not completely ignore it and just try to look everywhere all at once. You have to focus your finite resources and "just pick something" isn't a reasonable path when there's more things to investigate than we could do in 10 lifetimes.
Yes, it's something that's referred to as pointing stability. The telescope will have star trackers to precisely know it's relative position - basically you make sure that you see the correct stars from where it is placed on the spacecraft. It will use reaction wheels to make tiny correction's to its position. Imagine you are in a computer chair and trying to spin yourself without feet or hands touching anything, just by twisting your body. Reaction wheels work on the same principle. As Earth completes a year around the Sun, the gravitational pull from other solar system bodies is very minor on PLATO. That said, keeping a spacecraft in L2 is not easy - there is nothing to "orbit".
