I wouldn't call Putin smart - Russia overall is a fairly failed state. They could've been in a much better position. Perhaps maybe smart in terms of satisfying his own ego.
The answer ranges from „we could do that in the eighties“ to „it’s literally impossible“ depending on the fidelity you wish the simulation to have.
> As far as I understand it, you can’t have power generated by solar panels feeding loads in your grid-connected panel without backfeeding the grid, same deal as a generator backfeeding a grid-connected panel. You have to kill the MCB or service disconnect to prevent backfeeding.

An inverter can limit its output, right? So measure current at a few different points in the system, do some math, and use that to set the inverter's limit.

zero-cost replication of the $200/month pro version of ChatGPT for deep research
Recently, a trending project called "deep-research" on GitHub has replicated ChatGPT's new Deep Research feature. In theory, it can integrate with any large AI model and combine with internet search services, allowing the AI to autonomously search for information on a given topic, delve deeper, and generate a research report. However, it’s currently limited to terminal use, which makes it slightly less accessible. Is there a more user-friendly way to achieve this?

This is a pure front-end webpage that visually displays the entire search process and responds very quickly. You can ask it any questions you want to know, such as summarizing a report on GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 for you.

The usage is quite straightforward; you just need to configure these two services on the webpage:

The API key for the large model service, which currently supports OpenAI-compatible services like OpenRouter, DeepSeek, etc. The API key for the internet search service, currently supporting Tavily, which allows up to 1,000 free searches per month.

The entire process is completed locally in the browser, ensuring data security.
Kagi user here. I agree!

The main driver of hostility to users is due to ad-based business models. I think we would see a much more healthy internet if we had regulation which prohibited companies from choosing ads based on any information associated with the user that the ad is shown to. That is, any data collected in the past and any data associated with the session and request must not be taken into account when choosing the ad; two requests by different users in different locations should have the exact same ad probability distributions.

I know we are never getting this because it would kill or severely harm the business models of some of the most profitable businesses in the world.
I feel like you might as well ask "why not world peace"?

There are a huge number of practical issues to be solved to make that be viable.
It's nothing new; happens frequently. My guess is it's a compromise between a hard flag kill that silences all discussion, and letting the submission continue trending.
Why not just have the server send a token to the client that the client includes in the next request?

> I can't imagine anyone would be drawn to the 50% female working environment, with hundreds of smart, beautiful single women aged 18-22. Who gives a shit about that? Barely even a benefit really.

I recall that hitting on undergraduates as an early 20-something graduate student was considered a pretty serious no-no, and barring some tenured professors that feel they're above the rules, it certainly seemed like consequences both socially and formally probably increased the older and further up the chain you got (as they should). It's honestly pretty creepy to talk about them like you do.

Even at what was probably one of absolute best institutions in the world for accelerator physics, which I was interested in, I recall very early on being told by some faculty member that maybe 1 in 10 of us would ever land a tenure track faculty job. Almost everyone I have kept up with that wound up at the best graduate institutions for physics in the world have left, and are all basically doing the same shit I am (doing meaningless shit with computers), almost all of them worse for the wear, especially those who are now leaving after a postdoc or two.

I still have easy access to the local state university's library in its entirety, that is useful, but you don't need an academic job for that. I met plenty of other physics and math graduate school/postdoc drop outs in industry, you can't go far in our field without running into a lot of them everywhere, and most of plenty happy to talk about academic stuff. I don't have the same sort of access to faculty and expensive physics equipment that I did in the past, but given that I was able to actually buy my own home in my 20s with no help, support my own family and not generally have to worry about money and my own future in the same way that almost all of my peers still in academia did and still do, I can't fathom why outside of the absolute most brilliant focused 1 in 100 million minds would bother taking the risk of beating their head against the academic treadmill unless you were already very wealthy. Any justification just feels like massive amounts of cope for not wanting to leave the academic nest.
That's definitely a limitation of your network. I don't see how ipv6 can shoulder any responsibility here.
this usage of the decimal separator is not a German thing only [1]

This made me smile but I was thinking more along the lines of honour, conscientiousness, consideration, truth, knowing with conviction... common sense/etc. There are areas where this stuff is not appropriate but there is an unwillingness to hear that.
The security in this scenario comes from the fact that the two people met in person.

The one-computer solution is a little suspect IMO because it could have exploited some protocol weakness and inserted itself as a MITM.

A better solution is probably having Alice and Bob each have an app on their phone that exchanges public keys via QR codes, eg Alice generates a new key pair to talk to Bob with, and the app displayed the public key as a QR code that Bob snaps with his camera in his copy of the app. Then they do it the other way around.

I’m pretty sure Signal does (or used to do) something similar.

You can have fantastic communications security if you meet in person once and exchange strong authenticators. There are lots of ways to do it; exchange papers with one-time pads on them, etc.

But in-person is super inconvenient and is almost universally compromised away.

The server does not generate the tokens, the client generates the tokens. The server is supposed to be able to verify that they were generated by a client who was granted the authority to generate them, but not which client did so. At least, not without side-channel information.

> The main building block of our construction is a verifiable oblivious pseudorandom function (VOPRF)

I am not sure how well tested that primitive is, but it definitely appears to be more than the server handing clients tokens and then pretending not to know who it gave them to.

Are you talking about eliminating NAT on IPv4?

IPv6, set up the normal way, does not allocate IPs. Devices can and will have several at once and their VMs can easily get some too.

Up until like 1700 most of the population was illiterate

Mostly only the nobility, and later, the merchant/professional class, even sent their kids to school. Born out in the country like 90% of the population ? Well your helping with the harvest, keep watch over the herd, etc. sux2bu I guess

Universities have ALWAYS been practically accessible to at best the middle class, which barely even existed until around 1500. Before then, you’re mostly talking about nobles
We can still provide subsidized services and media to people with low income via other means which don't have the negative consequences of ad-tech. This is why we have libraries rather than free textbooks with engagement optimizing short comics and full-page advertisements.
Well in my scenario the separation is not this extensive. I am talking about when one of them has to go out for work or even to walk the dog for 15 minutes. I get your point that there is no explaining to a child that young what exactly is happening because it is beyond their comprehension. But I think conditioning them to be able to handle goodbyes knowing that the parent will be coming back soon is a good practice.
Trump dies and goes to hell.

After 50 years he asks Lucifer to let him go back to the corner bar of his mansion in New York for a whiskey, because he feels nostalgic and wants to see how things are going.

The devil accepts his pleas, but changes his appearance so that no one will recognize him. Trump enters the bar, orders the whiskey and tells the bartender that he was in a coma and wants to see how everything is.

That does nothing to fix the vast majority of security issues, which are caused by trusted but not memory safe programs running on untrusted input.

It's also an extremely unrealistic goal. First of all, you run into a massive problem with companies and copyright. Second of all, it will be very hard to convince users that it's normal for their Chrome installation to take half an hour or more while using their CPU at 100% the whole time.

I've really tried to stop replying to every bait reply, because I don't think long arguments are productive or that we'll reach a middle ground.

But this for some reason struck a nerve. I never claimed racism at all?

"It's not racism, it's culture" is literally a white supremacist talking point. To be clear, I'm not accusing you of that.

My claim is that you can't make country wide generalizations, and yes, attempting to do so by culture is doing so by race. I'd bet if I brought up how foreigners in Japan score on tests, you'd then claim it's not real Japanese. Because you meant ethnic Japanese people.

But that's way, way harder in the US. Is it white culture, that doesn't really exist? Would you be surprised to learn that most people born in the US today are not white? Is 'American culture' the hispanic immigrant family getting by in Fresno? Or is the the Indian spelling bee winner from Virginia? Or is it the white farmer kid from Nebraska? Or the black inner city kid in Chicago? At some point you have to pick one, they have little 'culture' in common. But I'm not asking anyone to pick one, or defending any race. I'm saying such generalizations are stupid.

Culture pretty heavily implies race, perhaps not location, unless one pretends to be race blind.
He’s getting what he wants and successfully destabilizing the US, and now has an invite to the White House.

Not you, he does, and for me personally having color coded indention guides is the worst thing for code, but then CSV isnt code.
Do you mean using indices into a backing array instead of pointers if the maximum length is known to be small? That probabdy helps but still has the cache issue to some degree no?

(also I feel like this is arguing semantics a bit, but I'm sincerely wondering: is a linked list without pointers still a linked list?)
Thanks for that, I didn’t know it was that common. Would be interesting to know whether there was ever an attempt to find a globally consistent form.

Eyes are good at generating the signal or we wouldn't have much use for the vision they do provide us.

On a somewhat related note, due to a head injury I suffered now many years ago, I started developing small-ish blind spots "once in a while" that remain anywhere from a few minutes up to a few months.

The spots are very noticeable when they first appear, grabbing the attention all the time. The ones that persist long tend to "disappear" when my brain filters out the broken (?) signal of where the blind spot appeared, and the spot mainly becomes noticeable again if it hides or interrupts a known pattern that I'm looking at.

It's as if the brain fills the spot with the average color around it (blue sky - blue spot, white wall - white spot etc), which works well for single color surfaces and such but not great for repeating and predictable patterns. And the hiding "lags" which means if I quickly shift between colors then the spot will momentarily be visible as the old color shows up on the new color.

So the brain does "imagine" things, but when it does, it isn't perfect.

Your ultimate claim is that the US IS in a "single-party dictatorship", comparable or equivalent to Russia or China. Anyone with sense knows that IS false.

Both house and senate representatives made up of republican or democrat parties (not just ONE single party) were elected in November 2024 and that election had multiple parties involved and the ones before it with congress still here afterwards.

Yet you comparing that process being equal or even worse than Russia or China and what they have in their countries is just nonsense.

What's clear here is that I don't think you know what a "single-party dictatorship" really is when you posted that comment and just only speaking in complete hysteria.
Not related to Ada, but Dafny is a "Verification aware programming Language" where both Formal Specification and Verification are combined together in the same source language - https://dafny.org It uses curly braces and can generate code for a number of different languages at the backend (eg. Java, C#, Go, Python, Javascript, C++).

I haven't played with it yet but just from reading the documentation i really like this approach since you need learn only one language/toolchain for both formal specification/verification and implementation. But by giving one the flexibility to generate code to various mainstream languages you can slowly add verified code module by module to existing codebases.

The big complicated segmentation pipeline is a legacy from the time you had to do that, a few years ago. It's error prone, and even at it's best it robs the model of valuable context. You need that context if you want to take the step to handwriting. If you go to a group of human experts to help you decipher historical handwriting, the first thing they will tell you is that they need the whole document for context, not just the line or word you're interested in.

We need to do end to end text recognition. Not "character recognition", it's not the characters we care about. Evaluating models with CER is also a bad idea. It frustrates me so much that text recognition is remaking all the mistakes of machine translation from 15+ years ago.
Of course it's obvious to them, it doesn't make it any less serious.

I did something like this for a project in a class almost two decades ago. The project was to make a system that would take a bunch of students' schedules and produce a list of teams that optimized for shared free time. I started with simulated annealing and then ended up with a genetic algorithm.

My first programming job was to write Fortran using a PC that fed into a VAX VMS. The stuff I wrote was sold to the USAF. It feels so long ago, there were no packages to import. All I had was whatever Fortran 77 had and I was ever mindful of running out of memory. I remember writing my programs on loose leaf paper by hand and then laboriously keying it in. I don’t remember there was any compilation; it ran whenever the VMS decided it ran. I would read the log file I filled with stupid error messages to myself because I was bored. One error code would be DUCK. Another would be DUCKDUCK. The third would be GO. My boss would read and shake his head wryly.

> I don't think there's a strong legal argument here for forcing Fedora to do that

Isn't the argument that by mangling the software, they've created a version that is no longer the original software, and the the trademark owner want them to stop using the trademark to describe this new version? I think OBS would be happy enough if Fedora simply decided to release their own "FBS" package instead that was the same, other than describing it as "OBS", which the trademark owners have specifically said it's not.

From the first line of the IceWeasel Wikipedia entry:
