Even if this were true, I'd be willing to pay more to avoid financially supporting the CCP.
Where do I buy one of these cheap Teslas people are selling for political reasons?
You can run Firefox LTS on Windows 7, so I wouldn't worry too much about browsing the Internet. Plus, your residential ISP-provided router has a firewall with no inbound connections allowed. How is my Windows 7 computer going to get hacked?
It seems most of the things Netflix produces is optimized by the algo for attention. When I feel it directing me gives me the ick. Looking at you Squid Game.
Caspian | Full-time | Hybrid w. in-office requirement (SF)

At Caspian, we're helping companies understand and control their duty and tariff exposure. We're a small, well funded early stage company applying modern technology to one of the world's oldest industries.

The team is small, experienced (10+ years in logistics) and moving quickly figuring out how to scale our solution (yes, we have customers) to the next cohort of customers.

We're looking for engineers who love to learn quickly, build with autonomy and are excited to provide solutions to real businesses. We're working out of the Presidio in San Francisco. If you're up for a challenge, let's talk ebeweber@meetcaspian.com

I know which is why I seldom engage on politics of this nature but seeing HN turn into Reddit made me react, at least for today.
It takes many billions to buy a Twitter, even when Saudi Arabia is footing most of the bill.
A little weird to see the Bitcoin price listed top-and-center, when it is a hype-driven security. Watching the market, especially crypto markets in real-time is also quite stressful. I don't see the point of having it listed first, before the news...
Your fallacy is thinking that all of these kids are miserable. I know a lot of these children and they're very happy. They work reasonably hard in school but then after they get out of school - everything is so incredibly easy. They went to the right schools from an early age which allowed them to get into target colleges which lead to target jobs and good marriages from college or from being in the right social circle (which target school+job allows).

It's mostly people like me who have grinded to high incomes that are the miserable ones. We have had to struggle at each step and had no one to help us at any point in our journey. I struggle to meet anyone with my background in any of the social circles I'm in. (In fact, I never have)

They're welcome to go down different paths. It's about giving them the options from an early age. I never had the option to go to an Ivy League (which would've made my life such a joke in comparison) because I was born into an incredibly poor and unknown area.
I think there are more viable alternatives now than there were a few years ago, which makes it a lot easier to choose an alternative even if the negative brand association with Elon is only a small effect.

Of course, when the viable alternatives were few or none, that negative brand association would have to be much stronger to affect buying decisions.
My neighbor -- a very earnest, smart, progressive 27 year old working in alternative energy -- bought one just before the election. His deposit went in sometime in the spring.

He was super excited about it at first, but the spring in his step is much reduced now. I feel bad for him.

I mean, true life, I think most people have pretty good experiences with Teslas. The brand was pretty resilient vs. Elon's shenanigans until fairly recently, but now, man, whatever goodwill he had he's busily taken a flame thrower to. We'll probably go EV or hybrid for our next car, and there's no way in hell we'd consider a Tesla AT ALL.
This notion alone does not grant you the powers of the Congress which apportioned the money to the groups. Moreover you and I do not possess the national intelligence to make the assessment of “corruption.” If you have a complain there are mechanisms for Congressional investigations. What you are conspiring to is the overthrow of the democratic processes that ensure that no one group claims to act in the public good, while acting on their selfish behalf behind the scenes.
> They want a steering wheel and stalk in order to activate turn signals.

They just brought that back in the Juniper refresh.
Thing is, that would be difficult, whereas randomly breaking government agencies is quite easy. If you happen to be Donald Trump, and you're looking for ways to please your supporters, culture war nonsense is the easy approach, provided you don't care at all about the consequences.
Yep, I think the availability of other options helps a lot, and it's important we don't lose this competition now that the head of Tesla has somehow finagled a position in government (it will continue to be insane to me every time I think about that).
Google is the least confusing to me. Old school version number and Pro is better than Flash which is fast and for "simple" stuff (which can be effortless intermediate level coding at this point).

OpenAI is crazy. There may be a day when we might have o5 that is reasoning and 5o that is not, and where they belong to different generations too, snd where "o" meant "Omni" despite o1-o3 not being audiovisual anymore like 4o.

Anthropic crazy too. Sonnets and Haikus, just why... and a 3.5 Sonnet that was released in October that was better than 3.5 Sonnet. (Not a typo) And no one knows why there never was a 3.5 Opus.
> Musk has several times lobbied against EV subsidies which would directly benefit Tesla, because he viewed the subsidies as excessive.

Of course he wants to kneecap his emerging competitors in the space.

Same technique OpenAI is using with advocating for AI regulation.
Wow so not a single white/chinese/indian male has been funded since 2013? For over a decade? That's an incredible claim. Literally.
Something I've mulled over in the past is what a market-driven pricing model for streams would look like. Newer songs are generally worth more than older songs, and lean-in listening costs more because the user actually wants to hear a specific song, while in lean-back listening, anything with a similar vibe works.

It's probably a good thing it's hard to pull off because you'd see Taylor Swift streams going for 10 cents and aspiring artists paying you $0.0001 to listen to their work in the background.
I'm glad I'm not alone in that sentiment. I haven't touched react since the move to hooks. People seem to like them though?
Where do you think communism has been implemented correctly?
20% of funding going to study replication is a good start.
> Don’t really sympathize with the whining about hypocrisy or how you claim to be personally victimized by people who are hypocrites

I was with you until this strawman. You don't seem to have a point after agreeing with me.
I see this drop across Europe and Canada but the US is still alright. For some reason though, any negative news about Tesla doesn't reflect in the stock price. Wonder if the US market is propping it up, xAI nebulous or may be just musk's incessant tweeting.
I was always receptive to those arguments, but I think even the people making them only felt them conceptually. The thick layer of civilization and “end of history” vibes just felt impenetrable. Then around brexit times it started to feel a little shaky, and more so with the Ukraine war.

I think Trump decisively stripped the last of the illusions away, most people feel the vulnerability in their bones now.
> Monoliths remain pretty good

> Micro-services require justification (they've increasingly just become assumed)

I say the opposite is true. Monoliths have a negative value return with the expansion of an application.
That link talks about H1 2024 and says this about BYD:

> BYD registered 17,000 electric cars - 14,000 more compared to H1 2023. In fact, BYD’s rapid growth allowed it to outsell Nissan, Smart, Toyota, Polestar, Citroen, Dacia, Ford, Mini, Porsche, and Mazda. As a result, BYD is now Europe’s 16th best-selling BEV brand - the second Chinese brand following MG, which held 8th place in the BEV ranking.

Would be interesting to know how H2 did.
For the forseeable future I think China mostly wants to stay as neutral as possible and make as much money as possible by selling as much crap as possible to as many countries as possible.

I don't think they want the US as an enemy. It's not good business for them.

I have a 100% unsupported belief that 100% of the public messaging from all sides regarding Taiwan is complete BS. I think that behind closed doors, all parties (except maybe Taiwan themselves) are working out a deal so that Taiwan winds up back in China's hands in the next 10-15 years without a war and everybody gets to save some face. I think that the CHIPS act, TSMC foundries on US soil, etc are all part of this process. It is the most mutually beneficial situation for the US and China: they get Taiwan; we get non-traumatic continuity for our chip supplies, everybody gets to save face, etc. (I'm not endorsing it or decrying it or even touching the morality or lack thereof)

I use a combo of in-browser ad blocking and dns level blocking. It seems to be very effective while on the home network.

Ive been waffling with setting up a vpn so i can tunnel through my home network and apply dns filtering everywhere.

Another thing I've been wondering about -- which i recognize is extreme -- is setting up a mitm proxy on my home network to strip 3p cookies out of all requests. But im not sure if I'll ever do that.

One side effect of this setup is that cloudflare seems to need to confirm that I'm a human a lot.

I don't know how accurate StatCounter is, but their latest report is showing the breakdown of OS users as:

- Windows 11: 36%

- Windows 10: 60%

Using Steam Hardware survey, it shows:

- Windows 11: 53.46% (-1.50%)

- Windows 10: 42.87% (+0.48%)

Whilst these numbers look very bad for Microsoft, especially given that we're less than 10 months away from Windows 10's home user support, it's potentially even worse if the data is correct and more people are reverting to Windows 10. Reasons I can think of there might be due to some of the recent Windows 11 updates harming performance in applications, notably many major Ubisoft titles.

I'm still on Windows 10, for two reasons. My motherboard does not support TPM 2.0, and I have not had any reason to need to upgrade given it still runs everything I need perfectly. Secondly, I have not seen any reason to go to 11 from 10; I don't love 10, but 11 doesn't seem to fix any of my issues, if anything I see many worse features.

I think a quick view of my comment history would show that I am not a fan of Trump. In fact, I would go so far as to characterize him as "if a wet dog turd were a person". I had zero doubt that 2025 would be a blueprint, just another of his lies.
>Tesla does not currently have product-market fit.

Yet, it sells the best selling car on Earth.
Maybe someone knows, what's the usual recommendation regarding big context windows? Is it safe to use it to the max, or performance will degrade and we should adapt the maximum to our use case?

I don’t think a test with R^2 of 0.27 should be used to completely reject candidates. It should have weighting proportional to its explanatory power.

Claiming that such a test worked is in my opinion BS. It was clearly being overused.
Ubuntu got me hooked on GNU/Linux back in 2012. Since then I've tried various different distros, and eventually I wound up bouncing betweet Arch and Tumbleweed. It's a real shame Unity never went anywhere, the universal menu or whatever it was called was really cool.
At least in the US, as long as the charging infrastructure is no better than it is, if you're planning on taking any long trips and you want to do it in an EV, I don't see any alternative to Tesla. And, yes, I know that other brands can now use designated Superchargers and maybe that's enough, but given how few those designations are I doubt it.

Does this mean there is no value in maintaining federal education standards, or do we want to let states decide if they want to abolish theirs as well?
I have direct experience with this field.

I've written, directed, and acted in independent films. I've worked on everything from three person crews all the way up to 200 person shots. Even mocap and virtual production.

We're now developing film and VFX tools for individual artists, and the world is full of artists. It's been starved for films, however. The studio production system only had so much annual capacity per year, and most creators never get the opportunity to helm a project of their own.

You're not crying over the accessibility of digital art, digital music, indie games, or writing.

Film production and distribution has been bottlenecked at the studio level for far too long due to capital, logistics, and (previously) distribution barriers. That's all changing now.

Films are going to look more like fanfiction.net, Bandcamp, ArtStation, and Steam. That's a good thing.

I have friends in IATSE (film crew union) and AI is going to hurt their work. The nature of work changes, and new opportunities arise. But what's hurting them right now is that film productions are being offshored to Europe and Asia to break up their unions and bank on cheaper local labor. Production in Atlanta is one sixth of what it was just a few years ago.

I also have friends who write and direct that are looking at this as their big chance to build their own audience.
I'm saying the prices are what's been made worse. But suppliers haven't converted over so that doesn't help the shortage.

I doubt it is the trade war. I think it is his attempts to interfere in European politics. Musk has done this in both the UK and Germany, and is signalling doing this in other places.

In the UK trying to help an extremist most people loathe (Tommy Robinson) is not going to make you popular. I am guessing that in Germany a lot of people loathe AfD so there is a similar, probably stronger, effect.

From a UK point of view, even if Trump imposes tariffs on our imports, that might be a problem, but it is not repulsive in the way backing an extremist is.
That is likely to change. Why should they sell a superior product for less?
As WW2 was ramping up there was only 1 aluminum manufacturer - Alcoa (Aluminum Co of America). When they hemmed and hawed that they could not increase production to meet the US war demands, the FDR administration made an investment to start Reynolds, who would go on to supply all of the aluminum needed to create thousands of ships and airplanes. Today they make foil and plastic bags. Alcoa still exists too as a much smaller fish in a much larger pond.

The government has all the cards, negotiation is really just a matter of will.

They can be fired, there’s a variety of processes to do so.

The obsession with firing people is this weird narrative the right wingers are always obsessed with. The cognitive dissonance between these high and mighty principles and what our principled republican colleagues have and will do is beyond ridiculous.

Functional government is the goal of any mature stakeholder. We have 100+ years of spoils system that aptly demonstrates why that methodology doesn’t make sense in a modern society.
Right, this is largely the same idea. For things that have to be bubbled up, you wind up in the simplistic "single thread of execution by an operator" pattern. And, in that scenario, exceptions work exactly the same as just returning it all the way up. It is literally just making it easier to unwind the stack.

My assertion is that actual error handling in workflows doesn't work in that manner. Automated workflows have to either be able to work with the value where it was broken, or generally just mark the entire workflow as busted. In that scenario, you don't bubble up the exception, you instead bubble up an error code stating why it failed so that that can be recorded for later consideration. Along the way of bubbling up, you may take alternative actions.

The increase is likely because 1.5 Flash was actually cheaper than all other STT services. I wrote about this a while ago at https://ktibow.github.io/blog/geminiaudio/.
> the answer for the vast, vast, vast majority of people is no, for the vast vast majority of use cases.

With GitHub being the top platform for sharing source code and as the top choice for the basket of all our eggs, I'd wager we need DVCSs more than people need or appreciate today. And that's just considering how often GitHub is down today.

If we start to emphasize with people who have really shitty internet connections (which is a larger part of the world than you seem to think), we can start to understand why it's really useful to be able to share our code with our co-workers on our local network without having to rely on terrible, minimum 5s latency connections to US companies who basically don't care about you.
I really doubt this argument is going to work in court.

A group of White House staffers turn up at Treasury and demand access to computer systems. A senior Treasury official denies them access. The White House complains to the Treasury Secretary, who orders compliance with the White House’s demands. The senior official still refuses, so the Treasury Secretary fires him, and the remaining officials grant access. The President publicly announces that he approves of the staffers’ actions and he authorised them.

Whatever legal argument you can come up with that this is a crime, will a judge and jury buy it? The access was authorised by the President and the Treasury Secretary; your argument is their authorisation was illegal and hence isn’t valid. But unless you can prove Musk and his staffers somehow knew that it was legally invalid, where is the mens rea?

And even if the trial court accepts it, will the conservative SCOTUS majority uphold the conviction of a Republican administration’s officials on the basis of that argument?

Is there a way to see/compare the shared results for all of the LLMs you've tested this prompt on in one place? The 2.0 pro result seems decent but I don't have a baseline if that's because it is or if the other 2 are just "extremely bad" or something.

With some serious repositioning, I think there is still an opportunity for Julia to displace Python tools like polars/pandas/numpy, airflow, and pytorch -- with a unified ecosystem that makes it easy to transition to GPU and lead a differentiable programming revolution. They have the brain power to do it.

The future of Python's main open source data science ecosystem, numfocus, does not seem bright. Despite performance improvements, Python will always be a glue language. Python succeeds because the language and its tools are *EASY TO USE*. It has nothing to do with computer science sophistication or academic prowess - it humbly gets the job done and responds to feedback.

In comparison to mojo/max/modular, the julia community doesn't seem to be concerned with capturing share from python or picking off its use cases. That's the real problem. There is room for more than one winner here. However, have the people that wanted to give julia a shot already done so? I hope not because there is so much richness to their community under the hood.
Certainly bad. Arguably stupid is even more dangerous.
Antibiotics are not widely used. There are many regulations, to use them at all you need a vet to sign off. You also have to pay for them. Then the animal has to be off of them for weeks before you can sell it.

In any case where are talking about a virus which an antibiotic won't touch at all.

Modern large farms have very strict bio controls. Things like: You shower before entering the barn (there is a shower in the barn entrance). Then you wear only approved clothing. Your shoes are disinfected as part of this process. then when you leave you reverse the process. If you enter one barn you are not allowed in a different barn for a week.
> AI writing code for you is a terrible way for a beginner to "make their own software."

Yes, but it is a way. And it's a way which enables many more people to start going it, then other ways. Maybe they will also never leave this way, or reach great heights on it, but that's ok, if they get their things done.

> How many people are making their own clothing? Clearly sewing machines are widely available, so they will surely create a revolution where everyone will make their own clothing! And yet - do you want to actually make your own clothing? No. You want to have time for other things, like making your own software.

I can buy cheap clothes in any shop. Usually cheaper and in better quality than making it myself. But AI is more or less for free, there is no investment. And It's useful for gaining solutions which one other would not get.

The more appropriate comparison here would be probably Excel, which is also used for personalized "software" by people.
Seems interesting a bit but surely the economics are rather brutal? Even a traditional coop has an ROI of years and years and years.

yes. main() is the room and print("hello world") the bed.
