Way I figure, or what I worry about anyhow, is most of the well paying jobs involve an awful lot of typing, developing, writing memos or legal opinions.

And say like LLMs get good enough to displace 30% of the people that do those. That's enormous economic devastation for workers. Enough that it might dent the supply side as well by inducing a demand collapse.

If it's 90% of all jobs (that can't be done by a robot or computer) gone, then how are all those folks, myself included, going to find money to feed ourselves? Are we going to start sewing up t-shirts in a sweatshop? I think there are a lot of unknowns, and I think the answers to a lot of them are potentially very ugly

And not, mind, because AI can necessarily do as good a job. I think if the perception is that it can do a good enough job among the c-suite types, that may be enough

It’s fine to blame a car’s heater when the design is so poor it can’t keep the cabin warm when it’s only 0C outside.

Thus being a spectacularly bad tool is itself a cause to assign blame.

In what way do you think building a new but still-uneconomic supersonic plane is going to change the world for the better?
Depends how automated it can be. I know some non-spectre 0-days were used broadly, either via viruses or port-scanning. Is it possible to craft some JS that'll use a spectre-like vuln to reliably grab something important like Chrome passwords or credit cards? Idk, it's hard to prove otherwise, and hackers have more time to think about this than I do.
Thanks for the clarification. Surely, If I run hashcat benchmark the power consumption goes nearly to 1400 Watt, but I also limited the max power consumption for each card to 100 Watt, which worked out better than limiting the max gpu frequency. To be fair, the most speed comes from the RAM frequency - as long as this is not limited, it works out great.

I took a fair amount of time to get everything to a reduced power level and measured several llm models (and hashcat for the extreme) to find the best speed per watt, which is usally around 1700-1900 mhz or limiting 3060 to 100 to 115 watt.

If I planned it in the first run, I may got away with a used mac studio, thats right. However, I incrementally added more cards as I moved further into exploration.

I didn't wanted to confront someone, but it looks like you either show of 4x 4090 or you keep silent
In ten years China’s population decline will go from “moderate” to “accelerating,” and we will be a decade into the collapse of globalization. It’s doubtful they will have the expertise or even raw materials to float a navy capable of even regional patrol, much less world patrol.

Cost is a fundamental part of the human experience. We need to ask that question on every single human action (singular or collective). There are no free lunches.
Can't edit my original post anymore: Firefox and Chrome do seem to isolate even same-browsing-context-group and bridge the required APIs via IPC, so hopefully Safari will catch up at some point.

Basically, there are three scenarios:

- Completely unrelated tabs (e.g. those you open manually, those opened via command-click, tabs opened via '<a target="_blank' ...>" or 'rel="noopener"' references etc.) – these are relatively easily isolated if the browser supports it at all. All major (desktop!) browsers now largely do this, including Safari.

- "Same browsing context group" (but different origin) sites. These can communicate via various APIs, and historically that was achieved by just letting them run in the same rendering process. But in the face of attacks such as this one, this can be insecure. Firefox and Chrome provide sandboxing via separate processes; Safari does not.

- Same origin sites (without any stricter policy). These can fully access each other's DOM (if they have an opener/opened relationship), so there's not really any point in having them live in different renderers except possibly for fault isolation (e.g. one of them crashing not taking the other down). As far as I know, all browsers render these in the same process.

Sites can opt out of the second and third category into the first via various HTTP headers and HTML link attributes. If we were to design the web from scratch, arguably the default for window.open should be the first behavior, with an opt in to the second, but that's backwards compatibility for you.
It seems weird from Times to bully one of their prominent authors. First thing that came into my mind is that motivation was politics as he is somehow critical to right and Trump proposed policies but it just don't make a lot of sense.
God, that’s dark. The first time I asked it it said its knowledge cutoff was 2023 to avoid answering. Same model. Yours cites 2025 reporting so it outright lied to me.

You didn't actually dispute my claim. I notice that you offered no defense whatsoever of Democrats, or other Republicans for that matter.

I wasn't trying to argue about who exactly is the lesser of evils. As I said, the voters might be wrong about who that is. My point was merely that not everyone who voted for Trump, or voted for Harris (or Biden or Clinton), was enthusiastic about their choice. Not everyone was trying to "own the other side". In fact, many people vote primarily based on their beliefs about their personal economic prospects. As a famous 1992 campaign slogan said, it's "the economy, stupid".
I am working on something even deeper. I have been working on a platform for personal data collection. Basically a server and an agent on your devices that records keystrokes, websites visited, active windows etc.

The idea is that I gather this data now and it may become useful in the future. Imagine getting a "helper AI" that still keeps your essence, opinions and behavior. That's what I'm hoping for with this.
x axis has years but the months are inconsistent. Y axis is probably just the count of posts but that could be clearer
Very nice. Adding this one to my list of "things other people wrote that nicely elucidate a shortcoming of SQL"

> Why would this be useful? Because SQL tables are global variables. By vanishing global variables, we automatically make every query fully testable.

And even if you don't care about testability, certainly you can appreciate that global variables are bad for composability.
Sorry, I was imprecise in my original post: It's definitely possible to isolate even sites in the same browsing context group, but it requires more work that Safari apparently just hasn't got around to yet.
This post also announces a newsletter (with a free option) that might be a decent outlet for moderate pro-democracy news.

Imho, this type of news matters for hackers, whether we like politics or not.
So, the piece here wants to frame this as an ideological issue, but the kernel of it seems to be:

* the Times employed Krugman to generate content, originally on terms that included a Times-branded blog where he could write with minimal editorial oversight.

* The Times consolidated their opinion content and eliminated the blog, leaving Krugman only venues with extensive editorial oversight, notably including how often he wrote about specific subjects (that is: with an editorial calendar).

* He started a Substack; the Times freaked out; he ended up leaving.

This feels like a lot of Substacker stories. He will probably have a bigger and more lucrative audience on Substack, and the Times probably won't suffer much from his departure.

From my own vantage point, the less the Times can index on punditry, the better. I don't pretend this change is strategic for them, but I think it'll probably work out to their benefit so long as they don't immediately go hire another economist.
Where does this guy even get so many bad ideas?
What is bdwgc ? gc==garbage collection ?
Having read Krugman's reasoning for leaving the Times, I find myself sinking even deeper into pessimism about the future of news media and, more broadly, the future democracy.

My interpretation of Krugman's departure is that higher-ups edited and re-edited his columns to reduce the possibility of calling up a kerfuffle. They wanted him to soften his words and blunt his message because they were sensitive to calls of media bias. I think that's exactly the wrong response.

This is what it looks like when an Overton window moves. In particular, this is how it looks when critical media insights are dulled in an attempt to appease an audience that probably isn't interested anyway. How many hard-core Trumpers do you know that started reading the New York Times after the editorial board made an effort to "expand their message"? For better or for worse, the world is leaving the New York Times behind. The older generation turns to Fox News, the younger generation to TikTok (or its successor), and the board's attempt to dull its message will only bore to death whatever remaining readers they have. If real news and real journalism wants to remain relevant, they should make sure their message is above all interesting, not boring, not muted; and they should choose an appropriate medium, which, sad to say, is probably not dead trees.

[edit:] Another depressing aspect of this is that Krugman isn't just a pundit, some talking head: he's a legitimate expert. This is exactly the kind of person who needs a bigger audience. Krugman draws attention to this fact in this piece, and I like the way he said it: there's a difference between an opinion and an informed opinion. In the age of the internet, there is no trouble hearing someone else's opinion on any topic imaginable, but it's a lot harder to hear from someone who actually knows what they are talking about, and is able to communicate well. Krugman was one of those, and now the Times has none.

People shout about "bias" as if it's a bad thing. But yet, every human being has biases, formed by their experiences. It's impossible to write anything interesting about anything without potentially being accused of bias. The deeper vice, of which we should be aware and try to combat, is corruption. The difference is this: if someone expresses a sincerely-held opinion based on evidence, they're biased; if someone expressed an opinion that they do not in fact hold, but express only because it is their job to express it, they are corrupt.
not any more 'weird' than the majority of the community here supporting the murder of an innocent ceo.

Its very telling with the downvotes. You support an innocent person getting murdered and dont support the same thing happening to a murderer.
I really hate that a bare ? makes us lose some info on code coverage. If you only test the happy path, the line is counted as covered. Making the return explicit at least makes it obvious when a line is uncovered.

But my biggest beef is the implicit variable declaration, I can’t stand it. That’s just lazy, bad design.

That’s not a great proposal overall, and I suspect if the same proposal had been made by someone else outside of the Go core team, we would have not heard of it.

I hope it gets rejected.
While I have a personal dislike of Krugman's writing style, I think the Times needs people of his calibre on staff. Ideally he would have handed the torch over some time ago (the long arm of boomerism) but at this stage it seems that the Times, and most similar organisations are going the way of daytime television: Focusing entirely on a naturally eroding generation until one day they just vanish.

Journalism is too important a task to go down with them though. I wonder if the Hindenburg research model could be a way to fund it?
The PATH is irrelevant, this is about how the kernel parses the shebang. It starts exactly /usr/bin/env with two arguments, not some other env binary you might have in your PATH.

I don't think you fully appreciate the number of obstacles in the way of new entrants building commerically-operable airplanes. Flying a supersonic prototype is amazing. But it is a depressingly-small amount of the overall work necessary to simply start taking passengers, much less make something economical, and even less to make something succeed.
Isn't it table-valued function? IIRC, the SQL standard still doesn't have it but it's almost universally supported extension across vendors.
I would like to go a level deeper into the author's experience: why did that change occur? Why did media become so interested in sanitized, toned down opinions and heavy editing?

The post was bought by Bezos, so changes are more explainable. What about the times?

> I can assure you that in the webdev world jQuery and Javascript are almost entirely synonymous

Frontend engineer here, and I very much disagree with that sentiment. I'd also love to see what percent of the internet uses jQuery purely on the basis of traffic. There are probably a hundred million generated recipe blogspam pages that use jQuery and get 5 hits per month each, versus companies like Booking, Airbnb, Facebook, Google, etc, that get magnitudes higher amount of traffic. I'd also be curious what percentage of frontend roles are looking for someone proficient in jQuery versus other frameworks. Again, I would bet it to actually be a minority with lower salaries and companies that view their engineers as purely a cost center.

Not going to get into what role I think jQuery should play in pages and apps developed today more broadly, as I've seen that discussion hashed out a million times on HN and it never is productive.
Since I have your attention - I figure this is still the best condensed ELI5 explainer of the history and methods used in search for exoplanets, and I keep sending this to anyone remotely interested in the topic:

It gets into the transit method around halfway through (at 3:43), and makes it glaringly obvious why this is the way to go, over tracking Doppler shifts. Still, this video is almost 8 years old (and neatly coincided with discovery of additional planets around TRAPPIST-1) - I wonder if there are new methods at play that are not covered here, and of course if the middle part still corresponds to how things are done?

Really? I thought the journalists did that.

Similarly, make go source executable : https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/162531/shebang-star...

also, my contribution, make C programs executable:

In the end there is no way the courts could force the Executive to deficit spend. I'm not sure I want to find out which way that will go right now -and I make no predictions whatsoever-, but it has got to be the case that in extremis the Executive can simply cut spending until the deficit is reduced to zero. Imagine that the deficit was 100% and inflation were raging at Argentine levels like 100% a year: an American Milei (which Trump is not far from being) would absolutely get away with cutting spending to the bone and telling the Congress and the courts to go pound sand.

My advice is to not push too hard on this at this time. The only real check on Trump's power right now will be the House impeaching, and that can only happen if House Republicans get angry with him, and it should be clear that cutting spending is making them angry before the courts start goading Trump into doing something that might trigger impeachment. I don't think people realize that the right-ward movement in the electorate is accelerating since the election, and doing things that further accelerate that before the midterms isn't going to help Trump's opponents in either party.
so finding the murder weapon in the home definitely means the suspect didn't do it. Right?

I fly a couple times a year from Portland, OR.

The line at security is typically 0-20 minutes. Add in walking time, and I'm getting from car to gate in 10-30 minutes.

But I still feel like I need to get to the airport at least 90 minutes, if not 2 hours early, just in case I end up flying on a day where 1 of the 2 security checkpoints is entirely closed and every traveler is now forced to go through a single checkpoint and it's going to take over an hour.

Side note, I think the serde yaml debacle was so predictable. As much as I admire Dtolnay his choice to archive the repository and push a deprecated version on cargo made everybody scramble for an alternative "maintained" crate is on him. You can say whatever you want about checkbox security but most people still have to deal with it if only to make the tooling shut up so they can do their work.

Maybe the rust fondation should take over more of those fundamental crates when maintainers are not willing or able to continue working on them. A similar problem happened with the zip crate which was transferred rather fast to a new maintainer and most people still use a very old version pre-transfer.
There is a difference between established people in the region use and deliberate name changes. Seas usually have multiple names, because people give names from their own point of view.

"East Sea" often refers to the Baltic Sea. Except if you ask Estonians, who prefer the West Sea instead.
For a long time, many large US newspapers have had a fundamental and critical internal inconsistency:

1. They proclaim the intention to report on all the relevant news with as little subjective bias as reasonably possible.

2. They make money through advertisements and subscriptions, the amount of which is proportional to the magnitude of their readership.

Maximizing point 2 above competes with netflix, books, movies, etc... anything on which Americans spend their disposable time. This leads newspapers to continue to have crosswords, comics, wordle, etc. and opinion/editorial pages.

Opinion and editorial pages are not relevant news with little subjective bias.
The key point is that the seven aircraft (two of which they paid £1 for!) spent very few hours per week in the air, because whilst it was profitable on one transatlantic route at very high prices, it would have lost money on just about any other route or with more frequent operation. And to have a profitable airframe programme you need your customers to be able to operate more than a couple of routes.

Jobs that involve sitting in front of a computer in an office, are all at risk of being replaced by AI. Can't predict what will happen to all the middle managers and how they will justify their jobs - AI could have replaced most of them years ago.

Based on what little I know, in Europe you need a degree in order to get good jobs. But employment opportunities for CS graduates might change in the future. You really need to do research into this in your country/city - unless you are planning to relocate.

Since you prefer self-employment, why not simply research more deeply into the areas of agriculture that you are attracted to? Once you better understand the constraints, you will be in a better position to assess whether a CS degree, or any other degree for that matter, will be of benefit.
> The Times consolidated their opinion content and eliminated the blog

From my reading of the article, you're conflating two seperate events, perhaps due to knowledge of additional facts it doesn't contain, or conjecture, or misreading - it isn't clear.

The blog was shuttered, yes, but on his opinion column he just mentions an increase in editorial oversight and getting notes. You call this "consolidating their opinion content" - can you share details? Otherwise it sounds mostly like an euphemism for "they adopted a stronger (guide)line", which is what the piece seems to bemoan.
Nice work! Love that it's a native app and not another Electron Chrome wrapper. Well done!

How was this "patched"?
What's specific to deepseek here that other models do not use, or are you just riding the keyword wave?
The KV cache is typically stored in a data structure external to the trained weights—often a buffer or set of tensors kept alongside the model’s forward pass (e.g., in PyTorch, one might store it in a dictionary-like container). It’s not baked into the neural network parameters themselves; instead, it’s an auxiliary memory that holds precomputed key-value pairs so the model doesn’t have to re-encode past tokens on each new inference step.
In theory, maybe? In reality, no it has never worked before.
I think the “pattern” is that Trump speaks plainly instead of using corporate HR speak and people read whatever they want into that. But regardless, we shouldn’t be more upset about how Trump is criticizing the war monger than we are about the war mongering.
Because everyone knows, Twitter and Facebook have never arbitrarily enforced moderation on political topics they consider distasteful.
