In theory, Congress should impeach. And if congress failed, the final option would be "We the People" with the second amendment.

That said, in reality, I don't expect there will be any real pushback. It'll be people attempting to work in the constrains of a new system and life will largely still be mostly normal for folks.
Nit: the correspondence between phi-SSA and basic block arguments is not one to one. With block arguments, you can jump to the same block with different arguments depending on a condition. You can’t do that in SSA without adding new blocks.
I still remember the day I saw a posting for a job that required 10 years of Java, 5 Years of C#. At the time Java was about 8 years old, and C# about 3. I'll bet they hired someone anyway and nobody clued them into how impossible their requirement was.

It's hardly a reframe. Whether the content was there before is irrelevant. A judge is dictating the contents of an agency site, at the behest of a private party. A temporary injunction may well be common, but it doesn't mean it isn't a bizarre-sounding decision in this case.

Removing the info, at least much of it, was a crap decision. But this feels like a massive win for Trump.

The blog post you've linked doesn't justify what you've said about it at all.

In the netflix blog post they're complaining about increasing latency over time because they have a function that *reloads all express routes in-memory* that didn't properly remove all the previous routes, so the routes array got bigger and bigger. That's not a fundamental problem with express[1], that's an obscure (ab)use case implemented wrong. Hardly a damning indictment of express.

> This turned out be caused by a periodic (10/hour) function in our code. The main purpose of this was to refresh our route handlers from an external source. This was implemented by deleting old handlers and adding new ones to the array. Unfortunately, it was also inadvertently adding a static route handler with the same path each time it ran.

[1]: Admittedly an array is not the "best" data structure for routing, but that absolutely wasn't the performance issue they were having. Below a couple thousand routes it barely matters.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43000640 is an article about Vance saying it, like, two days ago. (You're going to have to have showdead on to see the link, though.)

And he didn't quite say that the judiciary can't check the executive. He said that the judiciary can't check the "legitimate power" of the executive. (Of course, that completely misses that the judiciary checks the executive precisely by ruling that something is outside the legitimate power of the executive...)

While interesting, the title is obviously a bit misleading.

> Our results on a temporally held-out test set of questions resolving after December 25, 2024 show that for both of the models that we employed our method on, Phi-4 14B [15] and DeepSeek-R1 14B [14], we find accuracy improvements of between 7–10% over the base versions of these models as well as the same models fine-tuned with randomized outcome labels as a control

So 7–10% improvement for small models like DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B and Phi-4-14B, approaching GPT-4o.

It would be interesting if the same holds for DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-32B which in my experience is far superior to to DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B in almost every way, yet still runnable without DC class GPUs

One man's pork is another man's bacon. That's why it's in the budget. Everything in the budget had someone advocating for it, whether you agree with them or not.

That's part of living in a society. As a child, you may have run into situations where you had to accept something you didn't think was perfect in order to get something you really wanted. This is like the big kid version of that! It's so complicated and so important to do at scale that we actually create these very elaborate systems called "governments" to manage the process. What we found over time was that these big systems could be captured by people who didn't want to compromise, so we invented "Constitutions" that constrain the system, regardless of who is currently operating it.

Right now, you're saying that your personal assessment of what's pork and what's not justifies weakening the system that keeps all of us safe from our government.

Why would the CIA council things? It would be president and state department.

If we're talking about the Revolution of Dignity the EU and US sadly didn't care that much and generally advised the opposition to try to compromise with Yanukovych. It was Yanukovych himself who decided to flee and Putin who decided to invade in 2014.

And Ukraine didn't go to war, Russia was the one who invaded Ukraine. Ukraine was merely defending itself. Ukraine tried to find a way to avoid the war, Russia was not interested.

Do you think Putin is a US puppet?

In 2022 Biden repeatedly pointed out that the planned full scale invasion was an even worse even stupider idea. Putin invaded anyway.
Reminder to everyone reading FUD like this that tech bro's are trying _very_ hard to convince everyone that these technologies are Fundamentally Disruptive and The Most Important Advancement Since The Steam Engine. When in fact they are somewhat useful content generation machines who's output needs to be carefully vetted by the very programmers this article claims will be out of a job.

To be clear: I am not saying this article is written in bad faith and I agree that if its assertions come to pass that what it predicts would happen. I am just urging everyone to stop letting the Sam Altmans of the world tell you how disruptive this tech is. Tech is out of ideas and desperate to keep the money machine printing.
After couple failed hard disks in my old NVR, I’ve come to realize heat is the biggest enemy of hard disks. The NVR had to provide power to the POE cameras, ran video transcoding, and constantly writing to the disk. It generated a lot of heat. The disks were probably warped due to the heat and the disk heads crashed onto the surface, causing data loss.

For my new NVR, the POE power supply is separated out to a powered switch, the newer CPU can do hardware video encoding, and I used SSD for first stage writing and hard disks as secondary backup. The heat has gone way down. So far things have run well. I know constant rewriting on SSD is bad, but the MTBF of SSD indicates it will be a number of years before failing. It’s an acceptable risk.

“It failed to merge out of a lane that was ending (there was no one on my left) and made no attempt to slow down or turn until it had already hit the curb. Big fail on my part, obviously.”
Good point. But as the original story made the rounds on social media, it got exaggerated to make it sound like this was a life-threatening surgery. Knowing that it was a routine call and it was a plastic surgery procedure definitely deflates the scandal of the whole thing.
And you have had luck with models like the one you mentioned and Devon generating significant amounts of code in these codebases?

What they already do is a decent productivity boost but not nearly as much as they claim to be capable of.
It's really incredible that I have such a better experience pairing my new airpods to an old machine running ubuntu than a recent macbook.

I was actually looking into this idea. Using AI to select the content that would achieve the most engagement. Click bait and rage bait certainly exists. I'm not entirely convinced that having optimized content is really what matters so much as having it exist for people to see and getting it in front of as many people as possible. My own thoughts are definitely a little mixed. Video content might be a little different. I was only looking at text content.

Yeah. This makes sense, particularly vis-a-vis leadership.
I spent a fair chunk of the mid-90s to early 2000s on a moderately busy MUD with a group of people who, it turns out, were all about the same age. No idea in retrospect how I juggled this with school/friends/work - I guess kids just have a ton of free time.

Kind of drifted away for a couple decades during college and after, as other things filed up the time.

I came back decades later, after going to a memorial service for a friend who died untimely of a serious medical condition, and seeing that a bunch of the people there were from her online community. They talked about the MUSH she hung out on had been a real lifeline when she was bedbound for immune-system reasons -- it was really, really cool to see, and I went back and checked out my own place and met up with folks again.

During 2020 a TON of people all had the same idea and all logged in to my place again. There was a brief resurgence of activity (from dozens of people online to a hundred+). Very few new players, but very cool to see people who were all, more or less, the same cohort -- just grown up now. Folks have slowly drifted away again in the past couple years, and that's fine too. I'm glad it's there.

It's nice to have these subcritical, human-scale online communities. Not everything has to be a subreddit or even a 10,000+ person discord - you can just hang out on a server!

> glad the company that pays for my treatments can be "a check on providers" for me

Outside large hospitals, there is an alternative: pay yourself. You can usually draw down against an FSA or HSA, or just eat the cost. Only works if you’re wealthy, of course. But most small providers have a cash rate they’ll tell you verbally but never in writing that is below their official negotiated rate.
See here, for example: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/us/politics/vance-trump-f...

It’s one of the latest examples. In this case it’s amplified by Vance, but he’s been saying that for quite a while now, with his ideas of presidential immunity. And it’s all there in Project 2025.
For essential personal data you're right, but a very common use case for a home NAS is a media server. The library is usually non-essential data - annoying to lose, but not critical. Combined with its large size, it's usually hard to justify a full offsite backup. RAID offers a cost-effective way to give it some protection, when the alternative is nothing
I think it's more likely that we'll see a rise in workflows that AI is good at, rather than AI rising to meet the challenges of our more complex workflows.

Let the user pair with an AI to edit and hot-reload some subset of the code which needs to be very adapted to the problem domain, and have the AI fine-tuned for the task at hand. If that doesn't cut it, have the user submit issues if they need an engineer to alter the interface that they and the AI are using.

I guess this would resemble how myspace used to do it, where you'd get a text box where you could provide custom edits, but you couldn't change the interface.

LLMs might get better at making predictions than humans but there are fundamental mathematical laws that limit how accurate they can get. A key result of chaos theory is that many processes take exponentially more work to simulate linearly further into the future, so accurately predicting them far enough in the future quickly grows in hardware requirements to the point where it would take more compute than is available in the known universe. So there's a hard limit on how accurately any phenomena that's a result of chaotic processes (in the mathematical sense) could be predicted in the future.

> In fact it is one of the insidious things that gaining weight forms a vicious feedback loop.

You get enormous muscles form all that weight and burn a lot more.

> Also, often enough when people start exercising to lose weight they overcompensate by eating more and getting even more weight.

Don't worry about it. The goal is health. You should eat more or you get sluggish, weak, fail to recover, get injuries and quit.

> Finally, the "diet and exercise" advice is clearly misleading as paid for by the sugar council. For almost everybody, our weight is dominated by what we consume.

Agreed, it's a pretty dumb abstraction.

The funny thing tho is that at some point in the training the lack of consumption becomes a problem. Some marathon runners and some bodybuilders require 4500 kcal per day. Long before that people are trying to eat uncomfortable amounts of food. Good food of course, not random trash.

Fat people already have enormous muscles and a trained digestive system. Switching to jacked isn't far away. If you grab a random 90 kg fit guy from the gym and put a 50 kg backpack on him his "running" wont be anywhere near that of a 140 kg couch potato.

Ill message him and ask him to run... haha....

> Some people can get out of this by exercising a lot, multiple hours a day, without getting injured or overcompensating, but that is not enough people to matter compared to the diet pushed on people.

I actually think that if you go all out on the exercise bike for 8-15 seconds and do a single 1r max deadlift per day people will be very surprised what happens. It is dramatically more than not doing anything. No cheating, it has to be all out on the bike and if you can lift it twice put more weight on it. Put the bar and the bike in the middle of the living room as an internal conversation piece.

I think one will find that the internal protest starts around 10 seconds per day not hours.
Perhaps because arguing over bsd vs gpl is a never ending flame war that people are tired of.
The shape of the outlet is different for different current allowances (the spades are wider or rotated). It is supposed to allow an electrician to indicate that the whole circuit is rated to handle the higher expected load, and that there aren’t other outlets on the same circuit which might also try to use the whole current available. Basically a UI problem trying to encourage robust designs for use by non-experts
actually, not a bad idea.
It seems like you are implying that I don't think before I speak. Maybe that is sometimes the case, but I would venture to say, "not usually, and certainly not always."

The point I'm making here is that all of these observations are made after-the-fact. We humans see five different categories of output:

1. "I do know X" where X is indeed correct information

2. "I do know X" where X is false information or nonsense

3. "I don't know" when it really doesn't

4. "I don't know" when a slightly different prompt would lead to option #1

5. Output that is not phrased as a direct answer to a question.

The article introduced #2 as "hallucinations". I introduced #4 in my previous comment (and just now #5), and propose that all five are hallucinations.

As far as the LLM is concerned, there is only one category of output: the most likely next token. Which of the five that will be is determined by the examples present in the training corpus, which are later weighed during training.

Logic is not present in the process. It is only present in the result.

You can read the ruling here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69608613/12/doctors-for...

It is quite detailed.

There are at least two laws in question. One specifically says that the government must '"provide adequate notice when initiating, substantially modifying, or terminating significant information
dissemination products,” which HHS defines to include electronic documents and webpages.' (quoting the ruling, which quotes the law) Clearly the government did not do this. The other is the Administrative Procedures Act, which forbids arbitrary and capricious actions by agencies.
