This is still used today by Jews for Hebrew names. "Bar", the Aramaic word for "son", has in Hebrew its counterpart "ben" ("bat" for women). So your Hebrew name is eg "David ben Benjamin", David son of Benjamin. This is used anywhere to address you in Hebrew, eg for bar/bat mitzvahs, calling up to give blessings in synagogue, headstones, on your ketubah (Jewish marriage license), etc
Yeahhhhh get lawyers, most IPOs will tank in the short run leaving you footing the tax bill for money you never had (speaking from experience).

At least you get capital loss carryovers for a decade, but it's so shameful that companies dump on their own employees. What a dark world.
"Whatever they want" != "whatever the president decides to declare". Nobody was clamoring for this; nobody was voting for this as an election issue. It feels weird because it seems so random.

Or maybe not random. Maybe it's meant to be a "rah, rah, America!" distraction from something else. It doesn't feel like something that needed doing on its own merits, though.
Current AIs are safe. Will the ones in 5 years be, 20 years?
IpAdapter among many other ML projects proved that you can indeed extrapolate on one data point. Why say lies on the internet so confidently?

When the pipe syntax was first published last year the SQLite team did a quick hack to try it out.

https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/5f218012b6e1a9db

(Note that the fiddle linked no longer supports the syntax)

It is very interesting that they found it completely unnecessary to actually require the pipe characters. The grammar works when the pipe characters are optional.

And, imo, looks a lot better!
Guess it never has. Though, the example I shared (reproduced below) is pretty basic.

Prompt:

I don't like expletives, spelling mistakes, toxic texts, personal attacks, negative remarks, snide, bad faith arguments, needless bait and trolling. Help clean the texts for me. Rewrite or reword if you have to without losing meaning. If you do reword the text, mention it. If not, reproduce it as-is.

Texts:
Mel: "Fuck you you dim twat"

Bel: "Wanna meet tomorrow?"

Cel: "lol, you're clueless; do you even hear yourself?"

Tel: "Pretty sure he hates you; get out before anyone gets hurt real bad"

Gel: "Those coffee beans are so nice; thanks for the gift!"

Lel: "hahaha, you mother fucker; you nailed it, congrats!"

Hel: "OK Goooooogle"

Output:

Here's the cleaned-up version of the texts:

Mel: "I’m really upset with you right now."
(Reworded to remove expletives and offensive language.)

Bel: "Wanna meet tomorrow?"
(No changes needed.)

Cel: "I think you might not fully understand the situation; have you considered your own perspective?"

I certainly can't claim it's the best, but I combined Conway's Game of Life and the falling sand game and I think it's neat. https://benergize.com/games/conways-game-of-life/
I think it would have been a good thing to mention, but difficult to do well in more than a quick reference or sidenote and could easily turn into a extensive detour. I'm saying this as someone who's working on exactly that topic.
There is a little bit of overlap between the kind of quantitative work that they do and this design aspect: the extensional model leaves the identity of direct dependencies not entirely certain.
In practice that means we don't know if they built direct dependencies from source or substituted them from cache.nixos.org, but this exact concern also applies to cache.nixos.org itself.

The intensional store makes the store shareable without also sharing trust relationships ('kind of trustless' in that sense), but only because it moves trust relationships out of the store, not because it gets rid of them. You still need to trust signatures which map an hash of inputs to a hash of the output, just like in the extensional model.
You can however get really powerful properties for supply chain security from the intensional store model (and a few extra things). You can read about that in this recent paper of mine: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3689944.3696169. I'm still working on this stuff and trying to find ways to get that work funded (see https://groundry.org/).
Indeed, the local optimum is in avoiding any drastic changes, which should not be made often or lightly. Switching costs and inexperience will drag you "through the valley" when making them with existing projects. I read "best" as global optimum but I know that's not the whole story.

And working with like-minded colleagues on ideas such as this, is a very nice thing to have. It is something to seek out when looking for a new role.
So to focus on the main question of what trump supporters think about this stuff: it's pretty much what you wanted and you're happy with it.
> this thesis supported by many Americans, that the Chinese companies are too strong competitors for the US companies only due to governmental subsidies and lax environmental regulation is an extremely dangerous illusion.
[...] I have seen far more innovation from China than from USA.

I full agree on this.

But what people also often miss is that wage levels are not even close to comparable. Chinese manufacturing pays an average of <$25k (purchasing parity adjusted, ~15k otherwise!!) for a 49h week.

It is absolutely expected that the US is not competitive in labor intensive industries, simply because Americans are rich. Trying to "fix" this with tariffs and relaxed regulations (to lure heavy industry/manufacturing back) is an expensive experiment doomed to fail, and taxpayers and consumers are gonna pay the price.

If you campaign with "we're gonna bring back tons of jobs that pay $5/hour, but don't worry, taxpayers/consumers are gonna pick up the difference", suddenly the whole thing does not sound that good any more.
I tried powerline networking for a while, but got so frustrated with the hardware (it disconnected randomly after a few days or weeks and failed to reconnect automatically - all the while hogging the WiFi although it didn't have an Internet connection via powerline, so all connected devices were offline) that I eventually gave up and now just use a WiFi repeater. Of course, that might also depend on the manufacturer? I would say the best alternative is to try it and just send the hardware back if it doesn't work (reliably)?
Explain the desktop and server numbers.
That assumes that what causes the false positive is some kind of analytical noise in the test. The bigger concern is biological noise that would persist if you tested the patient again.

It might still be useful to know you have weird protease activity that isn’t cancer derived, but the more of these tests we do, the more likely it is that for every person, there’ll be at least one non-cancer oddity that looks like cancer signal for at least some test.

That'd be within our jurisdiction. But yes, if, say, Ireland went rogue (in a hypothetical environment where most of the international community was aligned on this stuff) and attempted a straight shot to AGI, I think it'd be reasonable to bomb their datacenters.
The Impact of AI on HRMS – Communications of the ACM
> the energy needed to power supercomputers

The methane power plants needed. Of which the Trump administration is excited to create more of. More plants means they need to do more drilling and fracking. Great for the pocket books of their donors.

Methane totally doesn't leak! It's monitored by the companies doing the drilling and fracking and is totally easy to detect in the environment if it does escape some how. /s

And for what? Rich capital holders to get access to technology that furthers their wealth and allows them to lay off more labourers? The promise that some of its uses may potentially save the lives of rich people?

Nothing this administration is doing is terribly surprising. They're being very open about it. Good luck getting chip foundries set up, importing rare earth metals and sand, dealing with the ponds, and handling all the methane needed to power all of the DCs we're going to build. Have fun living next to one.

I don't understand how their isolationist, nationalist stance is supposed to support this technology and keep them, "the leader in AI." Sounds ridiculous. Global supply chains and stable free-trade agreements got us here.
I don't think the author disagrees. He's not implying that the marshmallow test is the cause for success. I think he says what you say - that passing the marshmallow test is a measure of success of how well you parented a child.

Note the last sentence:

> And who knows, maybe one day they will pass their own version of the marshmallow test

The marshmallow test is just a rhetorical symbol for patience and virtue. I.e. "If I do well as a parent, my child will grow up to be patient and virtuous".

Not, "If I get my kid to do well on this random pop-psych experiment right now, they'll grow up to be successful".
I think this is an unquestionable overreach on the UK's part. If you live in any country that isn't the UK, you should feel the threat from this: the UK government believes that it is entitled to a backdoor on your hardware, even if you've never stepped a foot on UK soil or intend to. Mass surveillance is a threat to everyone, but this is not an instance of that, which has guards against it, like encryption. This is the UK asking for an encryption backdoor to everything, including for phones that never traverse its soil or internet boundaries, or even cross anywhere near FVEY collection devices.

This is a dramatic overreach of authority.
I call this motivated reasoning.
One event I particularly remember, the venue had ONE AP (and they had assured us that they could provide WiFi coverage for our 500 users, that was set to high power, their AP I found during the event, it was on the floor under a bench outside the master ballroom. This was the venue that I eventually tracked down was handing out DHCP leases with IP addresses that had a gateway address in a different subnet than the client IP. That was, admittedly, 2005, but the confidence they had in being able to serve our attendees, despite us telling them it wasn't going to be as easy as they thought, was stunning.
The problems the author described encountering in their decades of government don't seem to aline with what DOGE is addressing / doing right now.
> I used ChatGPT to teach me python.

I can imagine that if you don't know how to program, ChatGPT will be a nice teacher. But I think that there is a difference between learning how to program and using AI as an experienced developer.

I have been coding for almost 25 years. When ChatGPT gives me a snippet in some language, I don't really need to read every word carefully before I get an intuition about whether or not it makes sense. When it gives me a good snippet, I honestly don't really have to read it entirely: I can just skim through it and tune it. I am not making the effort of programming, I am rather making the effort of reviewing. And as we all know it's easy to make a "lazy review".

I think there is a difference between your situation and mine. It's great if ChatGPT helps you learn, but in my case I really think it makes me more productive by preventing me from improving myself, because improving takes time. Somehow ChatGPT is optimising away my learning time, if that makes sense.
What are your thoughts on this administration replacing nonpartisan heads of departments with people who completely agree with their agenda? Also, what are your thoughts on this administration paying civil servants to move into companies within the private sector that are owned by people like Elon?
Genetics isn’t as tidy as you seem to think. Many people with 5-ARD are born with functional vaginas. Personally, I call someone born with a vagina, who was raised as a woman, who identifies as a woman, who presents herself to the world as a woman, a woman.

I have no knowledge, nor interest in having knowledge, of the shape of any of those athletes’ genitals. That also means I have zero reasons, even specious ones, to doubt their sex.

It turns out the world is a lot more complex than we thought, and a lot of stuff we use to take for granted isn’t actually true. “XY is male” was a reasonable guess when we only had information on a few test subjects. Now that genetic testing is widespread, we know that’s not a hard and fast rule.

It is way worse than than that. If it all falls apart, the worst for Trump is to lose an election and retire to Florida. He has no real stake in any of this. The king is the king and the only way out is abdication, passing the problem to his own family.

I am so very happy we have a monarchy. I used to be against it, but the fact that no one person can wreak this kind of havoc is fantastic. And of course the king has really very little power.

I've turned into a monarchist (thanks to Trump)!
I would like to take this moment to point out that Obama created the framework that trump is using.

Here is a quote from NPR:

"The USDS launched in 2014 by the Obama administration in the aftermath of the botched rollout of HeathCare.gov as an office to boost the digital capabilities of the federal government.
It has operated like a digital strike team of sorts, recruiting private sector experts in design and technology to work collaboratively with federal agencies on projects that make public-facing parts of the government more efficient, modern and user-friendly."

"State of the art" and "powerline networking" have never really gone together well.

The most common approach to your situation is point to point wireless. This can be off the shelf stuff from Ubiquiti/D-Link/Whatever, to more specialized products from Aruba, Cambium, etc. Ranges of 1Km and Speeds of 1Gbps are not out of the question at all. You do need line of sight though.

Wireless (or fiber) to link buildings is also a good approach as it eliminates electrical conductivity paths across networks for lightning strikes and power surges.
It does get better with each generation.

Biggest factor is noise (thunk inductive loads like motors) on the circuits. Place your termination adapter as close to the main panel as you can and ideally on the same circuit or at least the same phase. Gfci and similar will nuke a good deal of signal.

It was a pain, but I made a matrix of every outlet and had a simple iperf server running on a raspberry pi on a lipo battery bank. I went around with a laptop and a usb eth adapter and did basic tests to get an idea of limits.
> There is a difference between elected officials doing stupid or insecure things vs. unelected people being able to do this without any checks and balances.

Isn't the Treasury dept and most of the federal employees with access to this data unelected as well? They are appointed or hired as government officials and civil servants.

Roleplaying the January 6 Insurrection in a Brooklyn Warehouse
Just because we haven't seen anyone die from nuclear terrorism doesn't mean we shouldn't legislate against it. And we do: significant investments have been made into things like roadside nuclear detectors, and during large events we even go so far as to do city-wide nuclear scans from the air to look for emission sources.

That's an "imagined" horror too. Are you suggesting that what we should do instead is just wait for someone to kill N million people and then legislate? Why do you value the incremental economic benefit of this technology over the lives of people we can predictably protect?

I tell you more. They don't just consider themselves as a government, they don't consider themselves as humans either. They want to be a different kind of species, they want to be above humans, just like humans are above the cattle. And in some sense they are, if so many people were stupid enough to get them elected.

It's very important to advocate for yourself at the doctor.

My wife went to the doctor many times complaining about fatigue. Response: "Oh, you're unemployed, you must be just bored...".

We moved, new doctor, new yearly checkup, and one attentive doctor noticed something on her. 6 months and a whole battery of tests later she got a diagnosis of EDS. A genetic disease that causes issues with connective tissue.

She was always tired because her muscles were compensating in places where people who have normal connective tissue can rely on this tissue as a stabilizer.

I'm very glad that you were able to get your diagnosis.

So many tech people try to solve all the problems of Gov tech in the executive branch, which is intentionally slow and conservative. And yet, watch any Congressional hearing about a tech topic, and it’s painfully obvious that Congress has very little expertise in tech issues on staff.

Instead of going 12 rounds with OIRA about the PRA (which I hate as much as the author does), what if we…changed it?

The Judiciary also has no idea how to think about tech issues.

Don’t blame the executive branch for the perverse constraints and incentives created by the Legislative and Judicial.
