How many of these women are graduating from programs that people wanting to eliminate DEI see as "unimportant"?

It's also interesting to see statistics brought up about women and not races, since the percentage that identifies as "Black or African American" is still underrepresented: https://pnpi.org/factsheets/black-students/
I don't use Kagi anymore but the main thing I miss is the absence of "Popular products" which is completely useless and comes up far too often when using Google to find retail products and black listing websites from the search results. Outside of that, the results were largely similar.

FSD makes Tesla superior to any car out there. No other car comes even close.

Although I heard that FSD was already crippled in eu so maybe they aren't missing out as much.
It was an open secret for a while, that new model Y is coming. So why buy an old one when few months in the future you can get current model and not the outdated one. Everyone is just waiting to buy new model Y. I took the risk, got old one year ago and now I am very happy, that the new one is rather facelift with couple percent better range and not a revolutionary upgrade. This would be pity. I am just wondering about price strategy, because new one is expensive at the beginning.
I run a gitlab setup for an decent sized enterprise and it only needs 2 VMs hosted locally.

Small by on premise enterprise standards is 4-16 cores and 128GB of RAM.

Our big VMs have 64 cores and 1TB of RAM (db servers).

I'm in a major turkey producing area and my wife worked for a national turkey producing company for 10 years. In 2015 it was all anyone heard about around here for months.

Granted, I don't know much about chickens, but a lot of this is common sense. I'm not sure what you think I'm wrong about.
The article is fairly sloppy and uses lots of scare-quotes, but basically it's saying that communications for the DOGE team will report in to the Chief of Staff making them subject to the Presidential Records Act instead of the general reporting conditions for the OMB.

The article also states that 'DOGE is gutting...' when that's not true. They're advising the President, and the President is cleaning house. They investigate, recommend, the President decides, and those decisions get acted on. This is how a task force like this is supposed to work.
I think the vast number of small and medium sized companies who quietly opened their hiring funnel up to a wider audience, would be considered good implementations. Not all companies reached for quotas and other hamfisted efforts that detractors constantly point to.

> "... slapping a coat of culture war paint on it - and then selling it as a new scandal..."

Astounding level of misdirection/cope here, bordering on non-factual. Did we just read the same article? This is the textbook example of a DEI scandal and was so from the very beginning. I mean the "textbook" part literally, employment discrimination law textbooks will dedicate whole chapters to this scandal for decades at a minimum.
How about Gemini Director for the next agentic stuff.

That remains to be seen. From the same article:

> "Just changing the name alone under the Executive Order doesn't affect DOGE's recordkeeping status,” Jason R. Baron, professor at the University of Maryland and former director of litigation at the National Archives and Records Administration told 404 Media in a phone call. “The administration apparently has made a determination that DOGE will be a presidential component subject to the Presidential Records Act. However, that will surely be challenged in the courts in connection with FOIA lawsuits. Under FOIA, it will be for the courts to decide whether under existing DOGE is acting more like a federal oversight agency or as a presidential component that solely advises the President.”
> He wants a wife that will be both attractive, loving, AND pulling in a $500k+ salary.

And if she has all of that, why would she date “down”? She can pick anyone she wants. I don’t know anything about the parent commenter. He said he was “unattractive” and I assume lacks self confidence. I’m in no way trying to criticize him.

And if he were born “poor” (again his words), he probably still comes across as someone who has “imposters syndrome”. Women can smell someone who lacks self confidence a mile away.
So why have so many people switched from Windows to MacOS?
Show HN: Detecting social engineering scams on messaging apps
I am building an Android app to detect social engineering scams on messaging apps.

Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AP2DZjSZc0

Many of my relatives have been the victims of these scams on the Internet. I have to educate them periodically about how some messages are just scams. And even then its hard for them to remember all the time to not engage with some of these messages because these messages look real sometimes. Almost everyone I spoke to knows of someone who has faced this. This is a large problem since the FTC estimated that people lost 10 billion dollars in 2024 in the USA due to Internet scams. Many cases go unreported.

I am looking for feedback on my Android app. Its currently limited to SMS and WhatsApp only. It runs in the background and analyzes the conversations from unknown numbers for social engineering and alerts you. The Android app doesn't upload any of your data to any external servers. All of your data remains local to your device. Just ensure that you are connected to WiFi when you download the app since it downloads some files for it to work.

If you are interested in trying out the app and providing feedback, please submit your email address for your google play store account through this form:

https://forms.gle/JJ6HvhPADo6gbMFDA

I will add you to an internal testing list immediately and will notify you by emailing you. You can download the app on your phone through this link after that point
https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/470169147950057894....

I will not use your email address for any other purpose.

Limited to the first 100 only due to Google Play store rules.

Anyone remotely interested in buying the most popular Tesla model (Y) have been waiting for the 2025 update, code-named Juniper. It's been rumored for months and finally launched in Europe on January 24, 2025.

Just like everyone knew about the Highland revamp of the Model 3, same time last year.

The Model Y is the most popular car globally, all mainstream and social media covered the Juniper launch.

Disliking GNOME is not a Fedora problem, there are plenty of other spins to use than the default Workstation.

I agree that GNOME's defaults aren't great, but with a few extensions and tweaks it's a very nice desktop. I just wish the defaults were closer to my preferences, but so do we all.
Your first two reasons are why they're discontinuing support for Windows 10. The intention to drive Windows 11 adoption is inverse to disabling upgrades, because then some of the people without a supported PC won't be able to afford a new one and will switch to Linux or continue to run Windows 10 unsupported when they would otherwise have installed Windows 11 on it.

And the security reason is nonsense because as you point out, the overwhelming majority of Windows security problems are in no way improved by a TPM.

The most likely real explanation is that Microsoft is constantly at war with itself and the manager currently occupying the relevant coign of vantage finds it to be in their personal interest for some muddy reason having to do with internal politics.

The most striking this about this paper, to me, is that the editor accepted it without a resolution to the mystery! That's a rare treat in the story-hungry world of modern science.

Also, the story about potassium flare stars is good:

https://safe.menlosecurity.com/https://guyworthey.net/2017/0...

Tempted to ask some LLMs about the astrophysics of potassium flare stars and see what they dream up.

EDIT searched google for "what is the surface temperature of a potassium flare star", and got this 'AI Overview':

[begins]

A potassium flare star, typically classified as a late K or early M type star, has a surface temperature ranging from around 2,500 to 4,000 Kelvin. This is because flare stars generally fall within the cooler spectrum of stars, appearing orange or red in color due to their lower temperatures.

Key points about potassium flare stars:

* Spectral type: Late K to early M

* Temperature range: 2,500 - 4,000 Kelvin

* Color: Orange to red

* Characteristic: Frequent flares of increased brightness caused by sudden energy release in the stellar atmosphere

[ends]

I think that's about right for flare stars in general. Just not potassium flare stars.

They still had to pass the performance test. It was just no longer the first step in the process. I want to be clear, that doesn't mean the questionnaire was a good thing. It just means that the questionnaire did not lower the bar.

Instead it reduced the applicant pool in a sudden and unfair manner, which is it's own issue.
We're lucky enough to have a pretty substantial network of local suppliers. Our grocery carries eggs from at least six local farms that I can think of off the top of my head.

I've read that some of the farms are having a hard time keeping up with both the increased demand from groceries and also trying to keep eggs available for their regular farmstand customers and such, but it seems like so far there is enough slack in the system that it's working out okay.
The vast majority (or at least a very significant portion) of GA aircraft are from the 60s-70s. Plenty of 135 and even some 121 aircraft are old also (90s, 2000s, etc). The Lear that crashed in Philly was from 1982.

Upgrading to the latest avionics costs tens of thousands of dollars in the cheapest case. Multiply that times the number of aircraft, and the weeks or months it takes for the upgrade to be completed and you're talking about a staggering economic impact.
I think the only way to do this is to pay members of Congress extremely generous salaries and then have a large agency whose only job is to monitor their finances like a swarm of starving animals with zero tolerance for outside influence. If any one of these motherfuckers or their neighbor or third cousin accepts so much as a fucking cup of coffee from a lobbyist they can forfeit it all, go to prison for ten years, and pay their salary back.

Pay them each a million bucks a year, for fuck's sake. That's $535 million dollars -- but remember we immediately get a lot of that back in taxes. Fuck, round it up to a billion dollars to include the cost of the agency to watch them. A whole team for each congress-critter. Half of the salaries go into escrow and the escrow money gets paid out after they leave office. And they can't work for 5 years after they leave office -- none of that indirect bribery where "cooperative" congresspeople get cushy jobs at the companies they helped during their tenure on capitol hill.

That's still only like a tenth of a percent of the total US Government budget.

Anybody who thinks that this won't improve the functioning of our government by at least 0.14% is welcome to tell me why.

dumb question from someone re-entering the FE world: why is Vite necessary?

My understanding is it basically strips the type information using Go (IIRC) where your typechecking is then a separate step (without transpilation). So feedback is more rapid.

But, with tools like Deno or ts-node, where the type checking is apparently also off the hot path, why does Vite still exist?

Is it because it connects file monitoring with a dev server? Because it also somehow works non-js artifacts like CSS and image imports?

Ultimately, I've found the world of Vite + ESNext imports to be a world of frustration and pain. And, I really want to like Deno, and a lot of it is magical, but ultimately, there's just some splitbrain stuff going on with Deno's concept of a monorepo and their inability to commit to their public projects (e.g. Fresh) leaves me concerned it's risky to build on top of.

(ok, that turned into a rant, but there are some questions in there.)
I have Pushover. I love it. I have a bash alias that I use to notify me when some command completes. I get a notification on my phone, and a tap on my wrist letting me know some hours long task is complete, and I can do the next step.

You can also modify the priority of a message, so I can send "critical" events if I need to, although I use that rarely.

That seems like a good opportunity for a neural net feature that's smarter than simple scene cut detection. While most theatrical films lack many good spots for commercial breaks, there are certainly a lot of "less bad" spots. Sadly, I doubt YT will bother since they no longer seem to care about viewer experience in recent years.

"Incorporating lasers that deter wild bird populations into biosecurity protocols can help prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) between commercial poultry farms."

> Why is it only American free-range egg farms are being affected, while Canada and Mexico’s are being spared?

Mexico immunizes their birds, which is highly labor intensive, which they can afford due to low wages and the US can't.

Canada is far north and the infected wild birds have not gone that far in large numbers (although the numbers are increasing).
OVH or to hundreds of other less known infra providers.

The barrier to entry for these providers is simply, "low". So margins got to be low.

The thing that holds Hetzner and the likes is you can't purchase a package, follow the setup instructions to make cross disciplines engineering departments. It is no wonder Amazon, Google and Microsoft built a comprehensive cloud. They were in the engineering business.

It doesn't imply Hetzner aren't doing a stunning job at what they do or that running an infrastructure farm is a walk in the park.
Fedora upgrades are also pretty seamless. The last time I hit an issue was probably 5 years ago, it's gotten very smooth.

The Instagram dating thing is because, in the heteronormative sense, a guy without one odd WAY more likely to be cheating. If you’re in a relationship, even if you don’t post, your significant other will likely tag you in their posts.

Exciting news to see these models being released to the Gemini app, I would wish my preferences on which model I want to default to got saved for further sessions.

How many tokens can gemini.google.com handle as input? How large is the context window before it forgets? A quick search said it's 128k token window but that applies to Gemini 1.5 Pro, how is it now then?

My assumption is that "Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental is just" "Gemini 2.0 Flash" with reasoning and "Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental with apps" is just "Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental" with access to the web and Googles other services, right? So sticking to "Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental with apps" should be the optimal choice.

Is there any reason why Gemini 1.5 Flash is still an option? Feels like it should be removed as an option unless it does something better than the other.

I have difficulties understanding where each variant of the Gemini model is suited the most. Looking at aistudio.google.com, they have already update the available models.

Is "Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental" on gemini.google.com just "Gemini experiment 1206" or was it "Gemini Flash Thinking Experimental" aistudio.google.com?

I have a note on my notes app where I rank every llm based on instructions following and math, to this day, I've had difficulties knowing where to place every Gemini model. I know there is a little popup when you hover over each model that tries to explain what each model does and which tasks it is best suited for, but these explanations have been very vague to me. And I haven't even started on the Gemini Advanced series or whatever I should call it.

The available models on aistudio is now:

- Gemini 2.0 Flash (gemini-2.0-flash)

- Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite Preview (gemini-2.0-flash-lite-preview-02-05)

- Gemini 2.0 Pro Experimental (gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05)

- Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental (gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-01-21)

If I had to sort these from most likely to fulfill my need to least likely, then it would probably be:

gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-01-21 > gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05 > gemini-2.0-flash-lite-preview-02-05 > gemini-2.0-flash

Why? Because aistudio describes gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-01-21 as being able to tackle most complex and difficult tasks while gemini-2.0-pro-exp-02-05 and gemini-2.0-flash-lite-preview-02-05 only differs with how much context they can handle.

So with that out of the way, how does Gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-01-21 compare against o3-mini, Qwen 2.5 Max, Kimi k1.5, DeepSeek R1, DeepSeek V3 and Sonnet 3.5?

My current list of benchmarks I go through is artificialanalysis.ai, lmarena.ai, livebench.ai and aider.chat:s polygot benchmark but still, the whole Gemini suite is difficult to reason and sort out.

I feel like this trend of having many different models with the same name but different suffix starts be an obstacle to my mental model.
The one job where I got to experience an Oracle database in action, back around ought four (allegedly one of the good periods for Oracle's db tech):

A) Performance was so terrible by default the DBAs were cops and had given up on real RDBMS performance tools such as indexes and keys (primary and foreign) and instead used a ton of arcane low level file management tools like Oracle was some sort of "build your own DB kit" and the out of the box one was terrible so they needed a bespoke hand built one

B) I was once in a CLI running some sort of very basic Select statement (no joins, because again, no keys; single table; maybe a couple of columns) and watched in horror as an entire Java-based debugger IDE not installed on my extremely locked down work machine launched, spun up, and dived deep, deep into a terrifying stacktrace comprising an awful mix of C++ and Java code. To this day I don't know how or why a Select statement (that worked the second time) crashed so hard into Oracle's own source code. It is possibly related to part A above, but I'm still not sure. I don't know why the debugger symbols much less actual source code from Oracle were even available when it did crash that hard. I did know at the time that actually debugging Oracle's code was very far above my pay grade and in addition to sending the debugger IDE they should have also attached a large check.

I think of that experience often when people tell me that Oracle actually has good tech. If it weren't obvious from how awful their tools are to use as a user (a different previous employer used Oracle's expensive time/attendance/payroll tools and those were the clunkiest, worst web apps to use), that brief, weird horror story of the Select statement in a CMD.EXE window REPL bringing up the wildest stack trace in a debugger that didn't exist on my machine will always leave me feeling doubtful about that.
"Just reboot it" is 1000x more polished than having to jump into the terminal or reinstall your OS (both of which are 100% inaccessible to the average user). Troubleshooting can be done by googling your issue on Windows whereas Linux has dozens of repos with that all require different troubleshooting steps on much more niche websites that won't come up on the first page of google while the average user doesn't know what the hell a GNOME or a KDE is.

Windows wins 100-0 in terms of polish in the eyes of the average user, and that's saying something given that it's not very polished as you said.
It's not "making excuses" I genuinely think what I said.

This kinda recrimination and such aren't helping anything.
Oh, I know. Think of the dash cam people have in their cars. The idea that one cannot be installed in the cockpit because of the expense is absurd.
