> Im sure there are some very smart and talented people working at Neuralink

I'm sure there are. There may also be people with The Com background (https://cyberscoop.com/the-com-764-cybercrime-violent-crime-...) working on it too: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/02/teen-on-musks-doge-team-...

yea more known as the DOGE guy but worked at Neuralink before that. Imagine the potential for abuse.
Not at GDDR speeds.

GPUs use special DRAM that has much higher bandwidth than the DRAM that's used with CPUs. The main reason they can achieve this higher bandwidth at low cost is that the connection between the GPU and the DRAM chip is point-to-point, very short, and very clean. Today, even clamshell memory configuration is not supported by plugging two memory chips into the same bus, it's supported by having the interface in the GDDR chips internally split into two halves, and each chip can either serve requests using both halves at the same time, or using only one half over twice the time.

You are definitely not passing that link through some kind of daughterboard connector, or a flex cable.

Ultimately, jj is trying to make the "branches are a mutable series of patches" workflow easier.

The problem is that that workflow is still ultimately harmful nonsense[0] that is based on a misunderstanding of version control.

I had a heart attack while visiting a hospital for a check-up, so got lucky. Eventually had a stent inserted.
People who are handling chemicals whose lethal dose is less than a teaspoon need to understand the hazards involved. That is as true of common household chemicals like lye, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid as it is for essential oils (though I would not describe any of those three as "everpresent").

However, it is worth noting that most household chemicals have a much larger lethal dose (are much less toxic) than commonplace essential oils! Such less-toxic chemicals include not only Tide Pods, but also everything else commonly used for laundry (even liquid bleach), window-cleaning ammonia, kerosene, unleaded gasoline, hair-bleaching-concentration hydrogen peroxide, most paint thinners, and even industrial degreasers like trisodium phosphate. I thought bleaching powder (calcium hypochlorite) was an exception, but I just looked up its LD50, and it's 850mg/kg orl-rat. So the lethal dose for an adult human is probably about 50 grams, which is an order of magnitude less toxic than oil of peppermint.

(Lye, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid aren't toxic per se. You can safely add unlimited quantities of them to your food if they're dilute enough. But in reasonably concentrated forms they're corrosive enough to cause fatal injuries if ingested, even, potentially, at the teaspoon quantities we're talking about. Your mileage may vary, though, and you may just end up permanently maimed.)

It is possible that you don't appreciate just how small a quantity five grams is, or you have a vastly exaggerated idea of how dangerous commonplace household chemicals are. I have no idea how you could get to a dozen. Are you poisoning your rats with strychnine and sodium cyanide? There are much safer options now, you know. Most people stopped keeping those in their houses decades ago, even in poor countries.

(Yes, I edited my comment, just as you did, because I think it's important to make it a high-quality comment so that people who read it are not misinformed.)
I don't think there's any real question as to what he's doing there.

The ADL these days mainly exist to shout "antisemite" at anyone criticising Israel. Their giving him a pass was sickening, and undoubtedly related to Republican support of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Other Jewish organisations have called it as the world has seen it. One organisation does not speak for a very diverse people.

People have weird beliefs about performance.

A laptop can sustain desktop-like performance for short periods (tens of seconds) before they must throttle back because of heat limits. For sustained maximum performance you need the ability to dissipate lots of power for extended periods.

A laptop that can dissipate 50w is naturally going to have close to half the performance of a desktop expelling double that. For the most part, there is no technical differences between a laptop and a desktop processor other than the TDP target.

For most applications, though, this difference is irrelevant. You need to be doing something computationally expensive for an extended (10+ seconds) period for a desktop to be a sensible choice for performance reasons.
The "prompt" engineering is also going to create a ton of cargocult tips and tricks- endless shell scripts, that do nothing but look spectacular, with one or two important commands at the end. Fractal classes, that nobody knows why they exist. Endless boilerplate.

And the ai will be trained on this- and thus cluelessness reinforced and baked in. Omnissiah, hear our prayers in the terminal for we are but -h less man (bashes keyboard with a ritual wrench).
>But the problem is that the current method for training requires this volume of data. So the models are legitimately not viable without massive copyright infringement.

Sure it is. It just requires what every other copyright'd work needs: permission and stipulations from the copyright holder. These aren't small time bloggers on the internet, these are large scale businesses.

>Though big-picture, it seems to me that the money-ed interests will ensure that even if the current legal landscape doesn't allow LLM's to exist, then they will lobby HARD until it is allowed.

The only solace I take is that these conglomerates are paying a lot to take down the rules they made 30 years ago when they weren't the ones profiting from stealing. But yes, I'm still frustrated by the hypocrisy.
I got introduced to jj via Chris Krycho's post on it, but working my way through your tutorial [1] is what made me feel like I understand it enough to actively use in real projects, and also convinced me that jj is the way forward. So, thank you for that!

> The autocrlf bit is a bit of a bummer on Windows, too.

autocrlf is always a bit of mess, to be fair, even when using git. There's never a single good setting because some projects do, for whatever reason, use CRLF for their line endings. (I recently spent 15+ minutes going through my git config and editor config and carefully making sense of things, trying to see why there were spurious line ending changes in my commit, before realizing this project I was contributing to used a mix of LF and CRLF endings in different files!)

Well, there is Scram.
It's a historical nuclear reactor simulator released in 1981 and influenced by the Three Mile Island accident of 1979.
You can emulate it on Linux.
The developer doesn't consider it fun, but it was endorsed by Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Harold Denton.

I guess it depends on your workflow. If you stage each file carefully in git, it's effectively opt-in as you suggest. If you `git add .` though, as many people do out of habit, then it's not going to help much. The same is true really for jj, if you don't edit your commits then yeah, it'll be included by default, but if you craft your commits then you'll spot it.

Also jj doesn't push until you push your changes when backing on to git. This is pluggable though, the backend I work with is not git, and does happen to upload all commits off my machine immediately (although still effectively in a private fork).
Very unfortunate - but I can see how a site that depended heavily on its founder's personal integrity; and that also had a non-trivial net cost to running it; could be hard to hand on to someone else satisfactorily.

Journalists are constantly given opportunities to be a bit more friendly to those in power to get more access, to accept some free samples so you can write an 'unbiased' review, to decide that advertiser's dirty laundry really isn't particularly newsworthy. The only protection against this is the strength of character of the owners and editors.
Yes, but the LLM driven MVP-s are not only builerplates but actual functioning apps. The "create-" is somewhat good, but it's usually throwaway code and do it properly later. While my LLM made boilerplate is the actual first few steps to get the boring parts done. It also needs refactoring and polishing, but it's an order of magnitude better than the "MVP helper tooling" before.

IMO Jetbrains IDEs are the best IDEs. That doesn't make them amazing or great or outstanding. They have their bugs, their resource leaks, and sometimes just plain weird design decisions, but they're ahead of the competition by a long shot for many programming languages. Other IDEs can match what Jetbrains has to offer, but you have to install and configure every feature yourself, while the Jetbrains stuff mostly comes with batteries included.

Maciej is another "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"-type pundit - a.k.a. "smart-ss".

He is sometimes right (his analysis of website obesity), sometimes completely wrong (he argued at length during the COVID pandemic that Belarus was doing something right, when it was obvious from the beginning that it was just a dictatorship cooking numbers - confirmed by post-analysis that shows abnormal rounding and other aberrant distributions) and in both cases he will be insufferably confident and arrogant he got it right.

The kind of guy who never stops to ask himself if he could be wrong, instead devoting all his brainpower finding all the reasons you are certainly wrong. (Which, unsurprisingly, applies when a pinboard user asks for support, too.)
Do blobless clones suffer from this?
I have been using Pinboard for ages (14k links so far).

I appreciate that it remains unchanged. Many other services have deteriorated over time in their pursuit of "social engagement".

The ability to publicly display my links is useful, though I mainly use it for proactive sharing rather than being discovered.

Pinboard is social in an introvert's way - compared to other platforms that are social like street salesmen soliciting attention.
sadly, those weights will not be inherited like they would to a baby. They'll be cooped up until the company dies, and that data probably dies with them. No wonder LLM has allegedly hit some stalls already.
There's also been a significant increase in competition. BYD are competing agressively across the continent, backed by Chinese subsidies, and European automakers are increasing their EV offings. For example, Volvo went from having 1 EV to 6 EV models available.

Also keep in mind that many European countries entered a recession over the past year. Also keep in mind that the cost of electricity has tripled since Putin attacked Ukraine.

The partisan types will ascribe Tesla's sales fall to Musk's politics, but I suspect that's actually a small effect compared to some of the broader market dynamics.

Command Line Tool for Code Reviews with an LLM Model Running Locally with Ollama
I'm a bit skeptical about sending all my code to a cloud-based LLM, so I built a command-line tool that does code reviews using local LLMs via Ollama. It can also hook into OpenAI if you prefer (that gives better results tbh).

I've also had fun piping the results into other command-line tools, such as Simon Willison's llm

We use postgres jsonb and have search built 30 million/~100-500 kb records. Only GIN/GIST indexes are possible, if we want to anything special(Search/send events if that is edited) at a deeper node of jsonb, the team prefers to extract it out of jsonb into a new column, which creates it own set of problems.

Probably if someone looking to use jsonb to replace NoSQL DB would need to look deeper.

The ADL's current leadership appears to be ideologically aligned with Elon Musk for reasons unclear. Here's an article with other Jewish voices, including the former director of the ADL, emphatically stating that it was a Nazi salute: https://forward.com/fast-forward/690745/adl-elon-musk-sieg-h...

You're right about Reddit. It has become hysterical since the election. If you want an example of what left-wing conspiracy theories look like, just spend some time in the default subreddits.

That said, I doubt Musk's politics have had much of a positive or negative effect on Tesla's sales. There's been a significant increase in competition at the same time as many European countries are entering recessions. That's going to be a much bigger factor.

It’s a way of saying “following the letter of a poorly drafted law while being aware of, and not following, its intended spirit”. Just because the law accidentally technically allows you to do something doesn’t mean you should, or that it should be considered morally acceptable to do so.

> We believe that with economic development, China must gradually transition from being a beneficiary to a contributor,

You say that in future tense. But we also now believe that steep tariffs on Chinese cars are necessary lest they "contribute" too much, too advanced, too cheaply and destroy domestic industries that can't keep up any more.

The EU, and current and previous US administrations believe this.

OTPZ is a Laravel package simplifying secure one-time password (OTP) implementation for first-factor authentication. It allows users to log in using a temporary code sent to their email instead of a traditional password. Key features include rate limiting, configurable expiration times, and one-time use validation for OTPs. OTPZ also offers session locking and failure attempt limits to enhance security. Developers can customize email templates and access auditable logs for OTP activity.
From my experience, I heavily don't recommend blobless/treeless clones for local dev. They should only be used in CI for throwaway build & forget scenario.

When you have blobless/treeless clone on local, it will fetch missing blobs on-demand when doing random `git` operations, in the least expected moments, and it does this very inefficiently, one-by-one, which is super slow. (I also didn't find a way to go back from blobless/treeless clone to a normal clone, i.e. to force-fetch all missing blobs efficiently).

It's especially tricky when those `git` operations happen in background e.g. from a GUI (IDE extension etc.) and you don't have any feedback what is happening.

That it is the gesture. My eyes motivate me.

> Sticking one's arm out is not a "Nazi salute" in the absence of an ideological component.

Right, so if someone does it to troll or upset people, but isn't a Nazi, it's no longer a Nazi salute? That's just extreme mental gymnastics.

edit: and that you insist on a "ideological component" is another reason I doubt you have any knowledge about historical Nazism. People followed and rationalized Hitler for all sorts of reasons. It's just movement, in-group vs. everyone else, with lies and violence getting more and more sanctified. All the words, and who happens to be enemy or ally, were interchangeable. Adolf Hitler was mocking "Germanic clamoring" behind closed doors, while he thought in "Aryan terms" and all that.

How many books did you read about Germany in the 1930s and 1940s? Zero? Do you think you can just wing this from first principles and Cliff's notes?

He more criticizing Europe than insulting it.

For example he kept criticizing EU's illegal immigration and online speech censorship practices.

And he's right about these two very valid issues though, but self righteous EU liberals will treat this as insults and instead point to some other crazy stuff Elon does and says as a way to control the narrative and invalidate the correct issues he's pointing out through this use of emotional manipulation.

Only in the sense that everything we "know" about the world is speculation, inferred from our fallible senses by way of our fallible reason. The world may not actually exist, after all, being pure illusion. A common Vedanta belief is that the whole world is just a dream Brahman is having which will vanish when he wakes up. Even if the world exists, you might be dreaming right now, and I might not have actually replied to your comment. Perhaps you have been in a coma for years, your loved ones desperately hoping you'll wake up, while you dream about posting poorly-thought-out comments on a web site.

But actually there are rather solid reasons for believing that the alterations in the Rig Veda over the last 3000 years have been minimal, going far beyond what is commonly described as "pure speculation". Some of them have been described already in this thread, but there is an extensive academic literature on the topic, much of it linked from the Wikipedia article you started reading.
