Another succinct view from roughly the same point in history that I return to every now and then is Deleuze's Postscript.

"It’s a capitalism of higher-order production. It no longer buys raw materials and no longer sells the finished products: it buys the finished products or assembles parts. What it wants to sell is services and what it wants to buy is stocks. This is no longer a capitalism for production but for the product, which is to say, for being sold or marketed."

'The conquests of the market are made by grabbing control and no longer by disciplinary training, by fixing the exchange rate much more than by lowering costs, by transformation of the product more than by specialization of production. Corruption thereby gains a new power. Marketing has become the center or the “soul” of the corporation. We are taught that corporations have a soul, which is the most terrifying news in the world. The operation of markets is now the instrument of social control and forms the impudent breed of our masters.'

"There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons."

When there started to be money made, and even better real power to be gained by herding such crowds then its not anymore just about self-organization over time, the push becomes very proactive
The language of the order getting rid of the exemption seems to reclassify all Chinese post as formal post to get around the exemption.

That means the amount of dues is still calculated as a (fraction of a) percentage, but there is a minimum of about 30 dollars. That means a $10 order of components or LEDs can end up costing you $42 to actually get it through the mail.

When you go beyond those thirty dollars, the rate isn't too steep, though, so you can still order in large quantities.
The US could save people by not starting wars. And by quickly finishing wars other people started (that means Ukraine) rather than drawing them out as long as possible to maximize shareholder profits from weapon sales.
Communities should exist because they benefit people, who in turn should support the continuation of something that benefits them.

But people don’t exist for the benefit of communities.
It's of course not that bankers put this spin on it to give them an excuse to continuously print money (all the money in fact) out of thin air and charge interest on it.

Remind me, why is the target inflation rate 2-3% again? It couldn't be that it's the amount of money creation they can get away with without devaluing the currency so much that it destabilises into hyperinflation could it?

I'm just having fun - I'm sure I'm completely wrong
I agree. But the nice thing about types is that they are not an afterthought, but more a "pre thought". TDD tries to make testing a pre thought...
> He was from a rich family who gave him everything, including the best education. He had ample free time to be a kid. He was personally escorted to school on a horse and had private tutors on call.

> His family barely got money to eat most days. Cody had to work to help support his family but through struggle was still able to attend school. He had to do his homework on the bus. His life was full of hardship and out of necessity he did little else than work and study.

Cool narrative building, but this information should not matter for the employer, because that particular employer selects candidates based on grades - I see no issues with it

Your comment is also implies that a kid from a rich family should have higher grades, but it's flawed - who has more motivation to achieve something?

Also between "rich" and "poor" families there are a lot of kids from "medium" families, what about them?

You can also send packets to userspace from nftables and do your SNI parsing/deep inspection/decision there. I used that a few times to do various things, like duplicate packet removal, etc.

It's very flexible.
That's true, but those empires also had periods of traumatic decline and upheaval. Given if you grant those entities continuity for those time scales, there were absolutely periods in the middle where everything went to shit. Using a 1500 year number for Rome includes having half the empire drop off and die.

The more important idea isn't the 250 years (I agree), the idea is that it's not unreasonable to model aspects of America as an empire.
> "Airbus has hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. for advice on an effort to forge a new European space and satellite company that can better compete with Elon Musk’s dominant SpaceX."

Yup, definitely the worst imaginable idea, but it's Airbus, their supply chain and "value base" is as European as the American Dream.

IMO, let the Bavarians' youngsters in Aerospace and Robotics setup a few cross-over conferences and university competitions, connecting all of Europe and the relevant fields to create a "war strategy" (like in a simulation game) "against" SpaceX and see what comes out. Sponsored by whoever has money and is looking for epic greatness and maybe some nobility and of course, lots and lots of more money.

This conversation should never have to happen -- If you sincerely want to move within an organization, you should already have documented your current role sufficiently for someone new to take it over, and ideally mentored a replacement for yourself. Then you are prepared for any move available to you.

As a general rule, once you get beyond the initial junior -> mid -> senior level early career hops.... promotions are not given because you did your job well. They are given when you lift up your peers or direct reports to be able to to do your job well.
It seems alarmist until you consider that Musk is a Nazi. He did the Hitler salute, live on national television. His followers tried to downplay it, but his own answer to the question "Are you a Nazi?" was "I bet you did Nazi that coming!"

People joke that he went from being the Henry Ford of our generation to being the Henry Ford of our generation.

I don't know whether I would say that Trump is a Nazi*, but the fact that he put a Nazi in charge of firing govt employees that don't follow orders does not bode well.

EDIT: * If only because he has never publicly admitted to being a Nazi like Musk has.

Unpopular because it is undemocratic. The EU is a bureaucracy that works against democracy. Its goal is to steal more and more power from national governments that are run by elected representatives towards a bureaucracy that decides their next actions in Davos.
It's true that it's not the best article, but I'm not entirely sure the Goldman Sachs chart should be treated as factually wrong. The article misses that 2005 was the heyday of Blackberry and iPod (iPod sales did something like 10x that year), and it's conceivable that Goldman included those devices as "compute". At worst, it's just shifted for a couple of years.

The decoupling of IE from Explorer is what really killed Microsoft, nothing to do with with MP3s. Remember, Microsoft was producing a bunch of proprietary extensions to Javascript and HMTL to lock vendors into their ASPX nightmare. It took many years to undo the damage, but at least PC vendors were allowed to ship with a non-IE web browser.

> I don’t remember digital cameras ever needing drivers and most decent digital camcorders used FireWire which was on all Macs, most Sony’s and many Dell PCs

As an admitted hoarder of all my old tech, I can assure you I am still in possession of several floppy disks with Windows drivers from my first digital cameras. My memory is a bit fuzzy on the exact timing, but I think the last digital camera I had to install drivers for was circa 2007 (Vista!). I still miss the days of my Sony laptops coming with i.Link, but I don't remember being able to connect my Sony cameras to many non-Sony PCs. I do remember having to install drivers to get Sony's ridiculous memory stick readers to work with other PCs (and Linux) though.
I do something similar and that's why I usually try to subscribe on my phone or iPad. iOS makes it so that I can start or stop a subscription in about 3 seconds. Sometimes it costs a little more because the services have to pay Apple, but for me, it's worth it.
I probably should have said that most conversations… don’t reach the tech stage and stop at their business practices.
> then you absolutely should want even more money poured into AI development, to make it go even faster.

Indeed. People are welcome to go "all in" on whatever nonsense gambling they want to do with their personal investments, but national security demands actually thinking about things - adversarially. Because the enemy will as well.

It's perfectly possible to lose a war by investing in expensive superweapons that under deliver. The Nazis were particularly bad at this.
> But not everything is about America.

I can’t truly understand how frustrating it must be for everything to be so focused on the US all the time. And I see this sentiment expressed often.

But let’s be real: this piece is almost certainly being circulated precisely because of what’s unfolding in the US.

We shouldn’t confuse what we wish were true (that the US is not the center of gravity for world politics) with what is true (that the US is the center of gravity for world politics).

I ought to have written "valuable" work. Though this specific comment related to the Zoom CEO's statement regarding sending AI avatars to meetings which is a whole other issue.

With regards to Prepin, I actually think it looks hugely valuable and has potential to help many people. In fact, I can see it being expanded to so many educational areas in the future. Nice.
Sorry for being lazy, but I just don't have the time right now to read the paper. Is there in the paper or somewhere else a comparison based on benchmarks of S1 vs R1 (the full R1, not quantized or distilled)?

Depends upon the ORM. Like all frameworks, a really good one is a significant productivity boost while a bad one is faworse than none at all.
Thinking about, that's around 5 generations, if we calculate, with each generation having roughly 50 years of power and relevant impact. So we have the first generation build the empire, the second solidifying it, and the next three upholding and slowly losing it. Interestingly, this mirrors how many rich families develop over time until they fall back into "poverty".
The democrats have the responsibility for picking electable candidates. Thats the party's main job.

Democratic party supporters need to move away from this dumb groupthink. It is embarrassing, as they like to think they are the better alternative. A better alternative doesn't tell people how to vote; a better alternative earns the vote with vote-worthy candidates.

Norway data from statcounter doesn't seem reliable. In just 4 months, July->October 2024, there's a 14% upswing in iphone total marketshare. Which implies that at least 14% of users bought a new phone, assuming (wrongly) that everybody would have changed from Android to iPhone (ignoring also deceases and teenagers getting their first phone).
And the period doesn't even include Black Friday or Christmas. And barely the iPhone 16 launch that happened in September 20, 2024.

A couple of indicators I have seen:

1. For a non-manager, an indication that there is good management (project, process, etc.) in place is that the management aspect sort of seems to disappear/ moves into the background.

2. Communication becomes efficient or smooth.

How is it achieved?

1. High level goals and metric. And incremental upgrades to those. I think people/ teams need to get comfortable with one set of those before you want to improve better those metrics. Jira story points and velocity are not good metrics.

2. A manager acts as a buffer. A manager absorbs some shock and filters some data/ emotions which would otherwise flow between one (ideally more) pair of layers: one above them and one below them.

3. One kind of non-sense (from many kinds) is that people- junior or senior- are 'trying to prove their value'. This is why some people speak unnecessarily in meetings, emails go back and forth, senior management chimes in on low level issues, etc. A couple of good managers I saw were able to limit that- over a period of time.
Like a lot of AI boosters, would you like to explain how that works other than magic AI dust? Some forms of optical guidance are already in use, but there's other limitations (lighting! weather!)
Right now I’m in between liking Gleam or Roc for a hobby functional language. The syntax you wrote is Gleam[1], well aside from it being List(). It’s very approachable, very consistent and that’s a core goal.

Roc was appealing because it was slightly more distinct and more unique. Plus it was more focused on speed. I appreciate them wanting to become more approachable. The new syntax seems less approachable to me because it’s now a half step between approachable Haskell and what feels like a combination of Ruby and Python.

Also, ignore judges affirming you can't do that due to point 1. No one will enforce their judgements.

Next step is attacking enemies. They will start prosecuting political rivals.
> I know that during the Bush era, the republicans would be AGHAST at someone like him.

The Bush era has been the worst disaster for the right wing this century in both the US and potentially globally. He was a warmonger, an economic vandal and an unprincipled man at the helm of a state that flubbed any chance at setting up for meaningful long term success in favour of the patriot act and slaughtering goat herders in the middle east. Under his eye the Republicans exiled the right from cultural relevance for around a decade. The party around him were cut from the same cloth.

There is a reason the modern Republican party went with Trump rather than another person who looked like Bush. The entire Trump story has been the Republicans - without too much recrimination - attempting to purge the remains of the Bush era because they were a gross embarrassment whos legacy has been little short of a disaster. If the US Democrats had undertaken the same purge instead of embracing the leadership of the same era then they wouldn't have tried to run Biden then Kamala.
indeed; something like an h5-index would be interesting to see.

Given trends of everything going subscription-only, is it unreasonable to suspect that the future of Windows could be subscription-only and a lot harder to pirate than previously?
Not exaggerating. I had it for a little over a year. I used it in my bedroom. As usual I started it going and then went into my bathroom to brush my teeth before bed. Partly through brushing my teeth I smelled something burning. I came out and saw the humidifier in flames.
It seems insane to me that this isnt the law everywhere.

A New Breakthrough Algorithm Solves the Unsolvable: A Giant Leap Towards P = NP
Ok, let's assume you are correct and that ∞ · 0 = 0. Consider then the two sequences sₙ = n, tₙ = 1/n.

By Definition 3.15 as provided in my last post, sₙ ⟶ +∞, and you will have to take it for granted that tₙ ⟶ 0 [0]. Intuitively we can see that the terms of {sₙ} are 1, 2, 3, ... tending to +∞; for {tₙ} we have 1, 1/2, 1/3, ... tending to zero, for progressively larger values of n.

Now I ask what happens if we multiply the "infinite'th" terms of both sequences together. The first few terms of this product would be 1 · 1, 2 · 1/2, 3 · 1/3, and so on; I ask what the value x is in the limit sₙ · tₙ ⟶ x as we evaluate further and further "nth" terms of both sequences.

You may have observed from the first three terms evaluated that sₙ · tₙ = n(1/n) = 1. Thus, as we continue to increase the value of n, it's always the case that sₙ · tₙ ⟶ 1 and the product tends to 1, because the product is constant and irrespective of n; we've "cancelled it out."

The limit of the product is the product of the limits [1]; that is, sₙ · tₙ ⟶ +∞ · 0, as we first established that sₙ ⟶ +∞, tₙ ⟶ 0.

If we thus take your supposition that +∞ · 0 = 0 for granted, we obtain sₙ · tₙ ⟶ 0, which contradicts our previous result that sₙ · tₙ ⟶ 1.

Thus we can either dispense with the cited established theorems of analysis used to deduce that sₙ · tₙ ⟶ 1, or conclude that the supposition +∞ · 0 = 0 must be false.

It might be the case that Σ(∞, i = 1) 0 = 0, but you can't extend this to conclude +∞ · 0 = 0 in general. Lots of intuitions from informal mathematics and even calculus start to break down once you examine the lower-level "machine code" of proof and analysis, especially once you start talking about concepts like infinity.

It's possible to build languages that compile faster than Go, with a much more expressive type system.

It's just that compile times and DevEx haven't been a priority for most projects.
Sorry if I'm combative, but most of these companies don't even bother trying to close the loop on justification that these products would make the world a better place for humans.

It's obvious to me that AI technology is good for anyone getting rich off it, but like, our industry is the joke of the country right now. It's like the whole industry has shut its doors: everything it once built or believed or championed has been replaced with the idea that humans aren't good enough. Show me that YC still believes at least ONE other thing!

I dunno - I'm in Berlin and my kids go to a private school for English education. I don't think somebody who couldn't afford it and wasn't a native English speaker would be getting English without parental effort before 4th grade.

Also in the area I'm in plenty of people don't speak English - I just went to an eye doctor and they didn't speak English although to be fair that's the first time it's happened to me in 2 years.
This is a nice way to convince people to dip into the Kagi ecosystem. I use Kagi full-time, by default in all my browsers and love it! So this won’t save me a dime (which is still totally cool). It would be nice if they implemented it (or some metered pricing) for the extra-cost AI/LLM features, though (since I pay for them but rarely, if ever, use them).

I also really like this model for subscription services in general. It would be nice to, say, not be billed by Netflix (though really, I’m looking at Paramount+ or Peacock) for months when you don’t use the service. It’s the kind of thing that wouldn’t be hard for companies to implement, and could potentially be regulated into existence everywhere by bodies like the EU or the CA state government.

What is Microsoft hoping to accomplish here? Given the rate of adoption of Windows 11, it seems unlikely that a majority of Windows 10 users will replace their hardware between now and October. It also seems to me that the scenario where a majority of PC users are running an unsupported Windows release is likely to create MS more problems than is offset by potential revenue from a hardware refresh cycle. Is there an ulterior motive at play beyond wanting to create a hardware refresh cycle?
Interesting, I've been in software development for a little more than 10 years, and just about every point I've read, I more or less agree one, will be interesting to see if it changes the next 10.

FP is bad for computing the Fibonacci series unless you have the compiler optimization to turn it into a loop (as seen in imperative languages).

To be fair, most practical FP languages have that, but I never saw the appeal for a strictly functional general purpose language. The situations where I wished one could not use imperative constructs are very domain specific.

You don't look to know the first thing about excitotoxicity or even about glycotoxicity. If you keep abusing excitotoxins, they have a kindling effect which will cause brain damage and seizures in the long term. With sugar, similarly there is diabetes.

What i do, is store all spools in a big sealed plastic tote with some bigger desiccant bags(100g).
To dry the filament(even if it's new from a sealed bag) i have a smaller plastic tote that will fit 1 spool with a heating pad(like the ones used for your medical purposes) on the bottom. Add the spool and let it sit fro 6-12 hours on top of the heating pad with the lid closed. Pretty cheap heated filament dryer.
Here's the heating pad i use, can be found on Amazon for $14: "Boncare® Small Heating Pad Without Auto Shut Off for Cramps and Back Pain Relief"

I suspect this is because servers have a more predictable refresh cycle than consumer PCs/desktops. While some places run their servers to death, many places (particularly big corps who are generating the most revenue for MS anyway) will retire servers at the end of their warranty period and buy new ones.

Given that, there is not the same need to force hardware updates. That said, it also illustrates how the TPM requirement is a business decision, not a technical one.
