There it is, the real reason you’re dunking on Starlink, you don’t like Elon.
I fear this will lead to Trump pushing OpenAI to use AI for air traffic controllers, which is going to result in a lot of deaths. Could AI eventually do the job? Maybe, but it will be a bloody road to get there.
What exactly is the concern here? Someone is going to rm -rf / on some magical server holding all the t-bills in the world?

This is not a thing that will happen.
Cool stuff. I also did something similar recently. Didn’t want to maintain a dynamic site just for this, so I took the least tech-savvy option.

Added a new section to my blog that lists one page per year. Each page lists all my entries in reverse chronological order. Wrote about it here[1].

I used to be in Teach For America. It taught me a few things:

-The vast majority of humans all want the same things, basically Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

-We are more similar than different.

-Try to understand people's motivations before you criticize their politics.

I've been approached by TFA-adjacent orgs on several occasions to try to get me to run for statewide office. I'd do it, except for the fact that it would mean an 80% pay cut. If I did not have a spouse and kids, it would be something to consider.
It's your project, I just wanted to point out that the code snippet the GP posted works offline, subject to the user having the voices installed. My `speechSynthesis.getVoices().filter(e => e.lang==='zh-HK')` returned nothing but it still tried to speak something anyway, even with the networking turned off on my computer

Maybe we'll get a solid Somaliland in the ensuing chaos after this current unmanaged Chapter 11 leads to a messy Chapter 7.
The government borrows money from Social Security, and the government pays that money back with interest. So what you are complaining about is actually a transfer of money from the general fund into Social Security. And when we talk about the impending insolvency of Social Security, we're talking about the point at which this subsidy stops (because they won't have any surplus funds to lend), and the program is forced to cut benefits to match what payroll taxes bring in.
> WTF? The Democrats are the ones with concrete offers to ease people's suffering. Literally. Stuff like Medicare for all.

No. Democrats have concrete offers. The Democrats don't. The Democrats had several opportunities to pass far-reaching reforms like Medicare For All but didn't.

There's a massive difference between the ideals of a few activist politicians running for office and the actual policy decisions of a government led by that party.

Also, I already acknowledged that the US handled the recession remarkably well. But that still doesn't change that generally things are pretty rough and "doing largely the same for 4 more years" isn't a very attractive position to the masses when the other guy is appealing to the base instincts of "strong man will fix problem" - especially in a cultural environment where "hard problems require hard solutions" (i.e. that morally repugnant actions are often necessary to help people in the long run) is often accepted without questions.
For the gas ones the way it works is that the owner services it with aftermarket parts. It's all cookie cutter stuff. You break a spool valve and you punch spool valve into Amazon and someone is selling the same Chinese spool valve they built the machine with.

For the electric ones? Your guess is as good as mine but the fact that he says they sell parts makes me think that they're more tightly integrated machines and it's not as easy to source parts the gas ones so he buys parts with each order.
But does that structure confer any realistic chance of voting control by any real humans who aren't already employed by vanguard?

Funds aren't known for being voting activists.
Do you have a date when that policy was instituted? I've known a lot of air traffic controllers, and most of them wore glasses.
This is missing a lot of stories

Specifically, almost every story about what’s happening with the current govt have been taken down from the FP in the last 24-48hrs

You can argue back and forth over how much they pay and how its distributed.

For me personally its a black and white divide. I pay for Spotify and something gets put back in to the industry or we all pretend its 2005 again and start sailing the high seas so nothing goes back.

2. We operate in the Trust and Estates Space and are focusing on AI-driven solutions for people to get that kind of planning done. Have an AI agent with which users interact, have some important LLM stuff in the background too.

3. CEO is a second-time founder. CTO is a smart guy (and very much an IC compared to most tech CEOs I have encountered) who is ex-Facebook (and worked at a lot of other big name tech companies prior).

I think the government is figuring this out and has access to a lot of info about BTC from the Binance settlement. That's just speculation on my part, it may not be true.

What I think a lot of people don't realize is that the US government is not very interested in going after people who do tax evasion in the $5-50 m range. People like that can afford lawyers and representatives, it will take years, and never get any headlines. They love to go after people for $5-50k evasion because they just get paid.

Also, not all EU states are ESA member states.

Canada is on the ESA governing council, and takes part in projects.

In the context of Eu grants being discussed in this thread, its financing arrangements are very different from those, so its irrelevant to discussing the effectiveness or not of those.
It's intentional othering.

Why Tach – The Problem with Python
Do you know how much the FAA spent renaming “cockpit” and changing Notice to Airmen to Notice to Air Missions in all FAA publications? In the midst of a profound controller shortage, the FAA spent millions on changing words.

If people want to criticize the current changes as wasting money, then it’s intellectually dishonest not to call out other agencies such as the FAA for their nonsense.

I suppose hiding the contributions of minorities would make it easier to argue that they're free-loaders, non-contributors, etc. if someone wanted to scapegoat them for societal ills.
The field of science is too broad to capture in just 100 books without feeling like something is missing. E.g, one of the most important scientific achievements in my biased view would relate to computing (/ telecommunications) - but I do not immediately spot books related to this.

Edit: I missed one on technology that is listed. Still feels meager in comparison to others. But again I am biased :)
Because all the BS rent seeking parties you have to deal with as part of international shipping will make that $6k excavator 12-15k. A lot of costs are fixed per shipment hence buying container fulls and reselling.
The point of making these traits visible is because there's a loooooong history of white men monopolizing and PREVENTING minorities and women from participating. Or, even worse white men taking credit for the work done by women and minorities.
In what way is this "securing" the data?

trending away from post-war/new deal-ish liberalism in a way that wouldn't be defined until neoliberalism emerged. I'm playing a bit fast and loose but with Thatcher in 79 and Reagan in 80 that's the spot where I'm marking the emergence of neoliberalism as essentially the default political platform for the english speaking world. Because nothing comes from nowhere and nothing happens overnight in national politics I'm essentially inferring that there had to be a bit of a groundswell of support for that socioeconomic framework in the years leading up to it but also that it likely wasn't the primary focus of a party that represented roughly half the electorate until then. Look at eisenhower's platform, you could be a republican in the 50s and support labor unions and the minimum wage. Then Kennedy and other center left dems dominated the 60s, barely held it together through the 70s, lost the fight against small-government, free market conservatives in the 80s and became small-government, free market conservatives in the 90s
Public servants name and position and pay are already generally public; major media have published entire state databases of this.

That's not doxxing, that's accountability of the government to the people. Doxxing is when a person is doing a participant in an online discussion group and information they haven't made public about their real world identity, etc., is made public, it is not when people are performing high level government management functions and their identity is attached to their actions.

My great-grandfather was wounded during WW2 and after lengthy rehabilitation his command reassigned him from active combat duty to Ladoga’s “road of life”. The trucks would routinely attempt to cross the lake during winter with canned goods and were regularly blown up or sunken through the cracked ice. My great-grandfather was a trained diver, his task was to pull up crates from sunken trucks. So there definitely were attempts to deliver food. You talk about how easy it could have been to supply the city given the intent, but I encourage you to read how hunger stroked has been Gaza in the past year. And they were not surrounded by Nazis, who would indiscriminately blow up to pieces any approaching vehicle.
So if DEI language was bad, then correcting it should be a good idea.
Premises seems completely flawed to me. It’s like if we would say because we have calculators, knowing basic arithmetic mentally will no longer be a necessary step to go through. All the more when the these calculators are actually not giving you exacts results, but excel at producing a lot of plausible lookalike approximations based on large corpus of computation samples.

So it seems not only very wrong on what is the hard part in programming, but also misguided about where (current) LLM use can shine, including in programming context.
I think the fine needs to be higher than the profit difference between the (illegal) and not illegal option.

If you have a legal route to $1M and an illegal route to $1.5M, the rational calculation for fines is against the $0.5M delta, not the full amount.

It's funny how people keep pretending like there's only on chain bitcoin or that lightning is broken in 2025.
I'm mostly curious about the decision to do fine-tuning here instead of synthesizing a good system message, maybe a RAG setup with access to the slack database, etc. I tried fine-tuning on a content generation case when GPT 4 first came out and we had much better results without it. Also, you don't get the benefit of upgrading to new models when they are released.
If you can dig 5ft you can trench ~5ft because you basically back the excavator as you go and are digging at full depth right in front of you all the time.

I find it wonderful that a human from around 1000 generations ago created art on a now extinct animals tusk. In a way they're able to communicate with us in such a distant future. Makes me wonder what we're leaving behind.
Sure, people make mistakes all the time. But would you prefer those mistakes be sprinkled randomly throughout your data crunching, or be systematic errors?

The point that that post is making is that a machine isn't going to make a mistake in adding two numbers. It reduces arithmetic errors to 0 (unless you count overflow which can be detected), and if it didn't it would only be useful in the rare case you don't care about accuracy.

AI in it's current state does not do for logical accuracy what computers did for arithmetic accuracy; You still need to verify every output from an LLM, which I doubt you've done for the many billions of arithmetic operations that happened this second on the computer you're on right now.

I wasn’t crazy about moving away from master, but this isn’t a word ban, it’s a concept ban. They’re not really banning the word diversity, they’re banning the study of diversity by any name.

Renaming master to main, doesn’t mean that you can’t do trunk based development, it just means you’re using a different term.

This sounds like tmux-resurrect and not a built-in feature. Similarly, C-a is the default GNU screen prefix, C-b is the default prefix for tmux (though this is a fairly common rebind for people who wanted it to work more like screen).

Like the other reply said, a monthly link blog would be too much. I find myself ignoring a lot of those links of the month posts because it covers too many topics and I end up not liking most of it. Whereas one which has small commentary on a single link is great for me, since if i like the commentary enough, I would add the link to my read later.
High FOV settings really help against nausea for me.

On PC, games may be more tweakable than you think and have FOV settings hidden away somewhere anyway. E.g. Fallout 4 has it in an ini file, some games have console commands for it, etc...
> Who is at fault when a computer makes a mistake?

"Fault" seeks to determine who is able to undo the mistake so that we can see that they undo it. It is possible the computer is the best candidate for that under some circumstances.

> That is accountability.

Thus we can conclude that computers are accountable, sometimes.

> You cannot put a computer in jail. You cannot fine a computer.

These are, perhaps, tools to try and deal with situations where the accountable refuse to see the mistake undone, but, similarly, computers can be turned off.

That's a good point. The payment layer can be different then the ones I have and encountered, and it could evolve. Going forward I will keep that in mind because I think in the back of my head I just assume BTC is a pain to use and that may not always be the case.

I dont see what evidence would be sufficient to appease you on any of these. I think you mistook an interpretive comment expressing the meaning and value of events.

I think the “middle school” comment is childish, and I think you regularly read and internalize interpretive material without the same expectation.
It isn't quite the same thing. There is a difference between trying to empower historically marginalized groups, and trying to re-subjugate historically marginalized groups.

Improving the opportunities available to people tends to improve economic productivity, so it's hard to argue it is a total waste of money.

On the other hand, removing mentions or attempts to improve inclusion of these groups in the face of rising racism and sexism has no real upside unless you're a racist or misogynist. Purges of this sort don't have any real economic motivations, it's pure ideology.

One was more of an investment, the other is more destruction.

Of course while the DEI scrubbing is dangerous to just some people, the scrubbing of climate-related language is just genocidal.
I mostly agree with everything you said. However at this time I wouldn't risk my business by releasing software primarily targeting tablets. The rate that people pay for iPad specific software is too low.
It's secondary, the fact is that starlink is objectively 8x worse than what is currently considered the default. And there's no sense dealing with nazis to get something 8x worse.
If it's any consolation I'm just American and I believe Trump is an incontinent rubber stamp for any brown-noser that orbits him and Elon deserves to be unceremoniously gored with a brick.
Developers are cheaper but not a lot, and regulatory costs are higher - the difference in the end in not huge. Plus: if you want to win a global market you need global talent at global wages. You need a lot of private capital and Europe does not have any.

That's not enough.

What happens if a long conflict breaks out between China and the US can't rebuild capacity lost in the initial phase of the war because China takes out that Korean ship building capacity?

With a capacity 260x times that of America the Chinese will be able to rebuild an overwhelming naval capacity, especially if the war technology turns to cheap, mass produced (semi)autonomous machines as seems to be happening in Ukraine?

Ships are one thing but really matters is the industrial capacity to build missiles that will be the immediate bottleneck. Many American missiles have a lead time measured in months to years and wargames scenarios for a conflict over Taiwan show the US exhausting most of their antiship missiles within weeks.

Once that happens the US will need to retreat from the area and the Chinese will be able to mass produce ships and probably missiles to hunt down any lingering American ships.

America will effectively lose their dominance of the seas and certainly the region.

This creditor/debtor dichotomy is meaningless. It doesn’t change the fact that the debt is owed in dollars and can always be serviced. If foreign investors lose confidence in the US and sell off their treasuries, the central bank can just purchase them and nothing would change. In fact, that’s what Japan does, and that’s why they’re a net creditor. And no, this would not lead to inflation. Again, look at Japan for an empiric example.
Well there is England...
> We'll probably have to wait until they fine someone a zillion dollars to figure out what they actually meant.

In reality, we will wait until someone violates the obvious spirit of this so egregiously and ignore multiple warnings to that end and wind up in court (a la the GDPR suits).
This seems pretty clear.
