America has a weird stance on this. They have consistently opposed European efforts to develop independent military tech - see what they did to British nuclear and missile programs, and how they have fought against the French desire to maintain their own defense programs. Now they seem to want to abandon Europe and blame them for not having their own military hardware.

Even if we assume theres a bit of a skew because a recycler has run a bunch of benchmarks on old hardware, it's something that felt pretty inevitable.

Average users dont need any more power than they have right now for their common activities (browsing and such), so havent been upgrading.

There's been a large increase in low power machines, be it the N100's, portables such as the steam deck, etc.

Until the next 'big thing' theres not going to be much of a need or desire to upgrade, you're not gaining anything at this point if your activities arent cpu constrained.
Some quick googling tells me the US gov spends between 35 and 40% of the US GDP. Also, the article says 'relatively'. Compared to other nations, especially other developed nations, the US government can definitely be called 'relatively small'.
Yes, but what is nontrivial here is how good the approximation is, despite the mantissa part being linear (much better than the upper bound of being within 2x of the real value).

Indeed.

Although providing a browsable source tree is convenient, we shouldn't default that on Microsoft's private platform (which, after all, monetizes the code stored there by using it for LLM training).

If a project is free software or open source, Codeberg.org is an excellent solution, while there exists a whole host of other web git hosts as well.

Let's take advantage of the field's diversity, lest it narrows down on us abruptly.

Open Euro LLM
The Carlos Ghosn story is really one of the biggest cliffhanger in automotive history.

When Ghosn got arrested, the Alliance Renault-Nissan was shredded to pieces. Many in Europe (including myself) were betting on a Nissan survival and a quick death of Renault.

Renault that was the sick dog of the French automotive industry for decades. Mainly due to bad business decisions and a lot of debt dating from before the arrival of Carlos Ghosn.
With Ghosn in exile and no clear successor: there were very little optimism in Europe about the survival of Renault.

But ironically: that could not be farther from the Truth.

Renault get away with a pretty well executed electrification. It is now hyped and healthy.

Several models have been acclaimed by critics [1] and are even qualified as 'sexy' by the younger generation.
It also sells well: The Megan EV sells well, so does the R5 and the Scenic.
Renault even outsells Stellantis in Europe[2]: Something that did not happen for decades.

And near to that Nissan, the big one in the story, seems to go from bad to worst.

Nissan's stocks are going straight to the ground and with pretty worrying financial status.
Nissan seems stucked with a conservative Japanese high level management unable to understand nor execute the changes the brand need. They completely miss the electrification: The leaf is outdated, the Ariya arrived late and full of problems[3]. And the rest of the product ranges do not sell well at all outside of Japan.

Nissan need urgently help, and pretty much nobody want to work with them in Japan.

This is again one of this twist of fate that only the automotive world is able to provide.

I'm guessing Japan is the same, but I'm not educated enough to speak to it.

That's also a thing I like about jj. Nothing prevents me from committing changes. Even merge conflicts are commited, so I know I can always come back to it later.

I find I think less about when to commit my work in jj. In Git I find that I like to commit to avoid loosing work, in addition to commiting when I feel "done" with part of a change.

It's a small thing, really, but it feels quite big (for me).

> The base units of the original metric system (metre and gram) were poorly proportioned for practical use

What is the dealbreaker here though? Because we have plenty of "poorly proportioned" SI units anyway; e.g. it would be much more practical to have megapascal, microfarad and megajoule as base units from an engineering pov (particle physicists might disagree;).

> They completely miss the electrification

This applies to all Japanese car companies now. They've basically told China, "Please, take the loyal market we've built up these past 40 years. We don't need or want it. We want to die."

It makes no sense.

They're betting on ICE vehicles losing no demand and on "clean" hydrogen completely displacing all demand for electric vehicles entirely.

And a quick rundown on how clean hydrogen energy works in Japan: they burn coal or petroleum to make liquid hydrogen that will replace petroleum-burning vehicles. So instead of using fuel directly, they burn stable fuel that can be used in most cars to make unstable fuel that can't be used in any cars. Smart.
You don't know if the one you generated is hard. Graph coloring is easy for large but trivially connected graphs, and many many problem instances turn out to have structure that can be exploited to solve it efficiently. You would basically need to implement a procedure for determining the lower bound of the runtime of all known algorithms for the problem instance which is most likely very difficult, and even if possible, you don't know if your particular class of generated problems turns out to be easily solvable by a yet to be discovered algorithm.

Amateur observation, take with a grain of salt: On the other hand, I guess we are doing something similar when generating a new public/private key pair on an elliptic curve. It just turns out that finite fields have very little (known) structure to exploit compared to e.g. colored graphs, so we have more confidence in the assumption that the generated discrete logarithm problem is indeed hard.

They do care about it. It’s an immensely important milestone in the development of the field, and is pretty much axiomatic as a developmental marker and has been widely and consistently replicated.

Where modern day psychology diverges is (as discussed in the article) on the conclusions and analysis.
I think it's more realists vs. at this point the clearly losing ICE proponent side. The EV market grows double digit percentages every year. Mostly at the cost of the ICE car market. Even last year when lots of the ICE manufacturers insisted the EV market was 'shrinking' (no such thing happened), the EV market actually expanded by about 20% globally. And since the overall car market did not grow by such numbers, guess where all that growth went: not them.

Japanese companies like Nissan and Honda are a bit on that losing side. Quite literally; both are struggling with rapidly reducing demand for their now clearly obsolete vehicles and the ramp up of the production of competitive EV replacements for those.

Nissan basically dialed back investments after they got rid of Ghosn and the collaboration with Renault. Which was actually producing some early successes. Like the Nissan Leaf. They could have doubled down on that but they didn't.

Now years later they are basically facing a lot of issues with with an outdated product portfolio that can't keep up with new EVs from others grabbing lots of their market share in most of their key markets.

The reason the Nissan-Honda merger was on the table at all is that it really has gotten that bad for both of them. And of course merging two poorly performing companies doesn't result in a situation where the sum of the parts is larger than the value of the parts.

The reason this deal bounced (and was probably a bad idea to begin with) is that Nissan is in denial about their existential need to adapt to the changing market. EVs are at the center of that.

Most countries have mandatory tax withholding by the employer, but not all (e.g. Singapore, Indonesia). In that case you would pay the taxes yourself.

What I haven’t heard yet, is not being allowed to sell on the settlement date. That puts you in a serious risk:

Worst case, the stocks fall to zero, but you paid taxes from your private money. This is net-negative.

To avoid that risk, either the employer needs to withhold the taxes or needs to allow you to sell the tax amount on the first day.

Imagine using the ID card emoji (U+1FAAA) as a universal carrier for digital ID tokens. A dumb demo is available at https://pit.lovable.app/ which—without any secure protocol—simply encodes a National Identification Number into the emoji using variation selectors.

The idea is that banks could issue encrypted ID tokens in this way, letting them move seamlessly across any platform that supports Unicode (messaging apps, email, web forms, etc.). The heavy lifting of security (preventing replay attacks, interception, ensuring token freshness, etc.) would be managed separately with robust cryptography, while the emoji serves purely as a transport layer.

It's not about reinventing security but about creating a cross-platform way to carry identity tokens. Thoughts?

> ...the long-standing belief that active volcanoes have large magma bodies that are expelled during eruptions...

I'm not a geologist, and my current "knowledge" of volcanology is mostly from the GeologyHub YouTube channel - but that is completely contrary to my understanding. If a serious magma chamber is emptied during an eruption, then the volcano above it (and some of the surrounding area) will collapse into the empty chamber. Because there's no way in hell that an empty magma chamber could support the weight of its own roof.

The vast majority of volcanic eruptions - even VEI 5 ones, like Mount St. Helens in 1980 - do not work like that. The magma chamber is still there, after. It's probably shrunk a bit - volcanologists measure ground-level uplift and subsidence in centimeters, to monitor that - and is a bit depleted of volatiles (volcanic gasses, which can act a bit like the fizz in a shaken bottle of soda). That's it.

Yes. This is also quite a twist of fate because 10-15y ago it was exactly the opposite.

Renault had the reputation of poor reliability with a lot of problems regarding electronics while the old TUs engines from PSA (now Stellantis) where rocks solid monsters you could bring to 300k km without a swet. Many of them are still alive and way over 1M km in northern Africa.
I Built This Tool to Solve My Own Chaos
I was drowning in scattered notes, reminders, and follow-ups—some in WhatsApp, some in emails, some just floating in my head. Traditional CRMs felt like overkill, and to-do lists lacked the context I needed. I wanted something as easy as jotting things down on a sticky note but smart enough to organize everything for me.

So, I built WorkToDoToday.

Imagine typing or saying:

"Remind me tomorrow to send a follow-up email to Customer XYZ regarding our PoC next month."

And instantly, the app:

* Creates a task with a due date of tomorrow
* Tags it to Customer XYZ with a clear title and description
* Lets me see all related tasks, notes, and past interactions in one place

Why It’s Different:

* No forms or complex workflows—just type naturally, and the app organizes everything
* Manage tasks through chat or UI, whichever works best for you
* See all interactions tied to a contact for a full view of your relationships

It started as a personal tool, but after sharing it, I realized a lot of founders and busy professionals needed this too. If you struggle with managing follow-ups like I did, check it out: https://www.worktodo.today Would love to hear your thoughts!
