The reporting I saw this morning was that they can only process 15 people at a time at Gitmo, so each military flight has a max of 15 passengers. From the photos DHS released, it looks like they're using a huge cargo jet like a C-17, and the photos only show 3 or 4 detainees. The cost of transporting each person must be astronomical.

Electricity usage, network traffic patterns, etc. If a "data center" is consuming a ton of power but doesn't seem to have an alternate purpose, then it's probably training AI.

And maybe it will be like detecting nuclear enrichment. Instead of hacking the firmware in a Siemens device, it's done on server hardware. Israel demonstrated absurd competence at this caliber of spycraft.

Sometimes you take low-tech approaches to high tech problems. I.e., get an insider at a shipping facility to swap the labels on two pallets of GPUs, one is authentic originals from the factory and the other are hacked firmware variants of exactly the same models.
This is obviously sarcasm.
Often "flexibility" simply becomes providing less parking to make room for more units on a given lot, effectively outsourcing to the surrounding community.

I lived in an area that allowed "senior" developments for 55+ people. As old people are all retired and so do not commute/drive, there were far fewer necessary parking spots and the development was deemed not to increase local traffic. Without the need to commute to work, upgrades to mass transit were deemed unnecessary. Total BS. All the care providers and visiting families ended up parking at the nearby mall. And retired people still drive. They don't commute to work but they don't sit still at home all day either. The whole pack of lies was simply a way to bypass parking regs and squeeze more condos onto the lot to the detriment of the surrounding community.
you do realize the eu is the reason apple is allowing sideloading to begin with, right?
Tesla gained a reputation of being the best EVs around, by virtue of being essentially the only company making EVs able to truly replace a gas car for close to a decade. It's easy to be the best in a category with just one competitor.

Now that other companies are making EVs that compete directly with Tesla, they aren't reliably best-in-class or best-in-price-point anymore. Compare the Rivian R1T to the Cybertruck, or the Equinox EV to the Model Y, or the Ioniq 6 to the Model 3. The top of the line Model S still doesn't really have any viable competitor.

Tesla has phenomenal battery and motor tech, but their actual car design leaves a lot to be desired, and that's starting to hurt them now that they aren't the only game in town.

And the fact that their CEO throws Nazi salutes at political rallies does not help their market share. In Europe at least that's directly impacting their sales.
I think that "Go" (the programming language) takes the crown.

It is one of the most common words in the English language. It is also one of the most popular board games in the world, and it has nothing to do with it. It can mean plenty of other things, just look at the Wikipedia disambiguation page. It is enough of a problem that it is often called "golang" to make it more searchable.

And ironically, it is made by Google.
It’s a pretty perilous (and condescending) habit to believe that when voters side with you they’re exercising common sense and when they don’t they were tricked. It’s indicative of a lack of insight into other groups in society.
Could be lots of things. I'd go with "your telco was doing something stupid" as a first guess, tbh.
I get the spirit of what you're trying to say (I think) but the truth is that wireless spectrum is an extremely scarce resource. It is bad policy to let inefficient protocols use it without good reason - 2G has the status of "lowest common denominator" and that's probably the only baseline that you should be able to rely on.

There are a ton of other inefficient allocations of spectrum^1, but not all spectrum is suitable for all purposes and the bands for cellular connectivity are highly sought after.

I believe it. I have seen people circle parking lots multiple times or sit parked in the middle of the road waiting for a spot to open up rather than just drive another 5 minutes farther away and then walk.

I lived in a neighborhood ~5 years ago where I didn't have a dedicated parking space. I generally had to park a 10-15 minute walk away from where I lived. Many people would rather just circle for 15 minutes instead.

For the Chrome extension, I started by just getting compliant with manifest v3, so Chrome would stop complaining. But now that it's relatively fresh in my mind, I'm going to redesign it so that the most common case (save this page) is one-click.

I think the reason a lot of the mobile apps suck is that the API is underpowered to do what those apps need. Once I get the v2 API out the door, if it turns out that no one wants to build a proper modern app on it, I'll roll up my sleeves and do it myself. But getting that new API stable and running is top priority.

I would love to hear your thoughts about what a minimalist 'save only' iOS app should behave like, either here or at support@pinboard.in.

> They were literally fighting together with the Germans against the USSR. Learn your history before making audacious claims.

Perhaps you should learn a thing or two yourself before making such remarks.

In the first two years of the WWII, Germany and the USSR were allied. They divided Europe among themselves with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact[1] on the eve of the invasion of Poland, and then invaded Poland from both sides, and held a joint parade when both forces met in the middle of Poland. Other invasions (Finland, France, Denmark, etc) soon followed.

The same secret agreement with Hitler left Latvia to the USSR. After the fall of Poland, USSR started issuing a series of ultimatums against Latvia, which culminated with the Soviet invasion and occupation of Latvia. Independent Latvia ceased to exist in June 1940[3], and the independence was not restored until 1991. Latvia as a state was not fighting together or against anyone because it simply didn't exist 1940-1991. Latvia was under Soviet military occupation 1940-1941, then under German 1941-1944, and then again under Soviet occupation 1944-1991.

One of the excuses for the initial Soviet invasion in 1940 was that Latvia was too sympathetic of the plight of Polish people and too unfriendly with the Soviet ally, Germany. :)

The Soviet-German alliance is best illustrated by the frequency of the word "facism" in the leading Soviet newspaper Pravda: https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/13chr5f/mentions_of... In August 1939, they sign the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. In June 1941, the war between them breaks out. During the two years from mid-1939 to mid-1941, they coordinated their attacks and destroyed the independence of not only Latvia, but many other European countries too, until there was no-one else left between Berlin and Moscow.

To this day, this is big source of tensions between Russia and its European neighbors, because Russia refuses to acknowledge its role in the first two years of the war. Present-day accusations of "nazism" coming from Putin's totalitarian dictatorship against modern European democracies are just pathethic attempts to distract from its own aggression, and serve as further examples of hostility instead of the path of reconciliation that Germany took.

There was no coup in Ukraine, it's just another long debunked Russian talking point that lacks any substance. I've explained it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42986476

The closest thing Ukraine ever had to a foreign coup is constant Russian meddling with Ukraine's internal affairs. The best example of this is the 2004 poisioning of Ukrainian president.

I thought they were going to mention L4S or low latency low loss, over 5G which seems to be in the latest 3GPP 5G-Advanced Release 18 (2024) but I have no idea what the rollout of that is.

One of the issues with this 5g vs 6g is the long-term-evolution of it all -- I have no idea when/where/if-at-all I will see improvements on my mobile devices for all the sub-improvements of 5g or if it's only reserved for certain use cases
I think we will see more startups with smaller teams

But I don't think its really "AI" that's the reason. It has more to do with funding availability and it being more appealing than ever to actually bootstrap and find product market fit prior to scaling up with VC money. It's a great environment to run lean and solve real problems. Not become giant and not really be sure of what problem you're solving.

I haven’t called you anything. I questioned your integrity based on your claims. You sound like one and you keep going on about this whole situation in that manner.

I used debuggers all the time when I used to work on interactive GUI applications. I am sure I could still remember how, if I had a need, but in the meantime I've spent years working on hardware drivers, embedded firmware, distributed systems, ML pipelines, and other such environments where debuggers would be unhelpful or impossible. Mostly I debug by looking at logs, and by thinking over their implications; you get used to it.

Debugging is not really about the software, after all; it's a process of discovering the limits of your own understanding and identifying the flaws in your mental models. You make hypotheses and test them, and it doesn't matter so much what instruments you use to perform the tests, so long as you know how to think about the process systematically.

This sounds like political venting more than a financial analysis.
that's what confused me:

> Among the priorities set out in the joint declaration signed by countries including China, India, and Germany was “reinforcing international co-operation to promote co-ordination in international governance.”

so looks like they did

, at the same time, the goal of the declaration and summit to become less reliant on US and China.

> Meanwhile, Europe is seeking a foothold in the AI industry to avoid becoming too reliant on the US or China.

So basically Europe signed together with China to compete against US/UK or what happend?

This is an interesting article!

ClickHouse does a hybrid approach. It uses a vectorized interpreter plus the JIT compilation (with LLVM) of small expressions (which is also vectorized and generated for the target instruction set by compiling loops). The JIT compilation does not bother to compile the whole query, only simple fragments. It gives only a marginal improvement over the vectorized interpreter.

Even with this approach, JIT is a huge pile of problems. A few details here: https://clickhouse.com/blog/clickhouse-just-in-time-compiler...

> These "safety declarations" are toothless and impossible to enforce. You can't stop AI, you need to adapt.

Deepfakes are a distraction from more important things here. The point of AI safety is "it doesn't matter who builds unaligned AGI, if someone builds it we all die".

If you agree that unaligned AGI is a death sentence for humanity, then it's worth trying to stop it.

If you think AGI is unlikely to come about at all, then it should be a no-op to say "don't build it, take steps to avoid building it".

If you think AGI is going to come about and magically be aligned and not be a death sentence for humanity, pay close attention to the very large number of AI experts saying otherwise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P(doom)

If your argument is "but some experts don't believe that", ask yourself whether it's reasonable to say "well, experts disagree about whether this will kill us all, so we shouldn't do anything".
Something tells me aspects of living in the next few decades driven by technology acceleration will feel like being lobotomized while conscious and watching oneself the whole time. Like yes, we are able to think of thousands of hypothetical ways technology (even those inferior to full AGI) could go off the rails in a catastrophic way and post and discuss these scenarios endlessly... and yet it doesn't result in a slowing or stopping of the progress leading there. All it takes is a single group with enough collective intelligence and breakthroughs and the next AI will be delivered to our doorstop whether or not we asked for it.

It reminds me of the time I read books in my youth and only 20 years later realized the authors of some of those books were trying to deliver a important life messages to a teenager undergoing crucial changes, all of which would be painfully relevant to the current adult me... and yet the whole time they fell on deaf ears. Like the message was right there but I did not have the emotional/perceptive intelligence to pick up on and internalize it for too long.
> I do benefit from Google maps in learning my way around a place.

Tangent: I once got into a discussion with a friend who was surprised I had the map (on a car dashboard display) locked to North-is-up instead of relative to the car's direction of travel.

I agreed that it's less-convenient for relative turn decisions, but rationalized that setting as making it easier to learn the route's correspondence to the map, and where it passed relative to other landmarks beyond visual sight. (The issue of knowing whether the upcoming turn was left-or-right was addressed by the audio guidance portion.)
Not to mention I doubt they're even including the bandwidth necessary for 5.1 DD+ audio.

Street parking doesn't have to be horrible. Look at some of dense super expensive inner suburbs of London for examples - pretty little flower baskets hanging from beautifully painted Victorian wrought iron street lights, hewn stone gutters etc. Charming++

Poorly _maintained_ (cleaned, resurfaced, policed) streets are ugly. Streets are poorly maintained when the property tax base is insufficient.

Increasing density can amortize the cost of maintaining the streetscape over more households.
> If I as a third party find a bug that is causing Google to undercharge on ads by a fraction, should Google be obligated to pay me a mountain of cash?

No, but Google should understand that if they give a token payment, people will be less likely to help in future situations like this. And might be inclined to just instead tell ad buyers about the loophole quietly.

I replaced Plex with Jellyfin because I hated Plex promoting an (then) unwanted FAST service [1]. Jellyfin was a struggle every day, particularly the XBOX ONE client "just didn't work" despite several attempts on their part. Watching movies and TV with my family was a constant humiliation. [2]

Last summer I was gentling a feral cat at the other house and once I set up a microwave link I watched a lot of Tubi over there and it didn't seem to be fair to still be angry at Plex. My home server had a /boot partition that was too small which meant I couldn't really apply software updates anymore so I rebuilt the machine and figured I'd switch to Plex which "just works" in every way except my M4 Mac Mini doesn't realize my Plex server is on the same network as it. At $5 a month they ought to take my trouble tickets seriously.

"Our research offers an extremely promising clue, suggesting that the virus may have been triggered by the rare Sennetsu fever, possibly transmitted through consuming raw or undercooked gray mullet fish infected with trematodes or by individuals infected with glanders. This finding naturally connects to the seafood markets and supply chains, offering new etiology insights into the origins of SARS-CoV-2."
Note that existing bandwidth usage has been driven by digitization of existing media formats, for which there was already a technology and industry - first print, then print+images, then audio, then video. People have been producing HD-quality video since the beginning of Technicolor in the 1930s, and while digital technology has greatly affected the production and consumption of video, people still consume video at a rate of one second (and about 30 frames) per second.

There are plenty things that *could* require more bandwidth than video, but it's not clear that a large number of people want to use any of them.
I'm sorry, but when the has it ever been the case that you can just say "no" to the world developing a new technology? You might as well say we can prevent climate change by just saying no to the outcome!
I’m part of the early test team for tachyon-enabled 7G. Obviously it’s only early alpha but I think non-Googlers can get Pixel 10s with it at the Mountain View Google store. If you upgrade the firmware to version 0.3.75A sometimes short text messages arrive before you type them.

Also your reply to another comment made me realize this is also a language mixup on my side. I didn't realize there is a depression (mood) in English. My native language has the major depressive disorder as depression, not sure if there is a term for the mood. Sorry for not checking this assumption before but I guess my perception of suggesting 'have you tried not being depressed?' just didn't sit well with me.

Higher bandwidths are good to have. They're great for rare, exceptional circumstances.

10G internet doesn't make your streaming better, but downloads the latest game much faster. It makes for much less painful transfer of a VM image from a remote datacenter to a local machine.

Which is good and bad. The good part is that it makes it easier for the ISPs to provide -- most people won't be filling that 10G pipe, so you can offer 10G without it raising bandwidth usage much at all. You're just making remote workers really happy when they have to download a terabyte of data on a single, very rare occasion instead of it taking all day.

The bad part is that this comfort is harder to justify. Providing 10G to make life more comfortable the 1% of the time it comes into play still costs money.

Culture fit is a funny thing. I was set up for an interview and one of the things was a take-home tic tac toe.
