> But these checks haven't been deposited in a bank account in many decades, and the SSA doesn't even have a current address to send them, ...

While this is likely true for a majority of cases. I am confident that there are both bank accounts and addresses that have remained valid since the 1940s. For example, ABA routing/account numbers on checks go back to 1910.

Presuming checks are being printed, it would not surprise me if they are being sent through the U.S. postal system. What happens to them after that, though, is anyone's guess. Banks generally stay on top of deceased customers. But even then, a bank account can be transferred to beneficiaries and retain the same account number.

i would expect that banks would flag a check being deposited in the name of a known deceased former account holder. But there have already been cases mentioned in this thread where someone can receive SSA benefits on behalf of a deceased spouse/parent. As such, it is conceivable that those checks could be deposited.

Next is nowhere near "equally" as bad as CRA, it's made by a company not a *community* of front end engineer wannabes. Try to make honest assessments instead of whatever works in favor of your argument.

Next is that minimal setup, that has everything you need. Saying vite is a "minimal setup" is like saying webpack is a minimal setup, if by that you mean an useless setup wherein you have to then add a bunch of libraries for basic needs. That directly contradicts with the idea of being minimal.

I find it worrying how often people try to pass off a court's decision as truth or in this case as proof of something entirely different.

I looked at the guy's link and it actually supports my view even more.

Given he made up a 12 yo bride and hired a PI to dig up dirt, this also proves Musk lied to the court. I don't know why the jury gave the wrong verdict but I knew only about the original "pedo guy" tweet and the PI this morning and the deeper I dig, even into material posted by his supporters, the worse it gets.
Your second example is a bit disingenuous since the word ‘pyjamas’ is a perfectly normal English word, regardless of its etymology.

As for the first: there isn’t a silly trend of naming everything after randomly-chosen German words, so at least it’s fairly original.
Listening to it now and it's so eye opening, these guys literally do NOT care about the project, all they care about is making money and using any advantages to get one up on the loser holding the bag.

-"Every one of these memecoins serves to make insiders money, what am i supposed to do NOT launch the project?"

-"This famous person lost $5 million so we made him whole and refunded to avoid any issues"

-"These coins are just a casino"

It's so funny that these guys are way more lucid and honest than most of the "investors"

Edit:

Oh man so this guy spends 40 minutes moaning how sniping and scams are rife in the Solana ecosystem but he himself sniped $MELANIA and claims "To not have made any money" which means nothing to me because I'm sure your bank account grew.

Also looked him up and he has 0 experience in development, LA Based, and was an "entrepreneur" for 7 years before becoming the CEO of a Bitcoin consulting company. This guy is the stereotypical rug pull con artist.
Appreciate the feedback! Completely agree - authentication should be handled at the system level, not just in prompts. This demo is meant to showcase how teams can build test cases from real failures and ensure fixes work before deployment. We’ll consider using a better example.
And not to forget: business realities change over time, but it is not always the code follow.
The Digital Mars D compiler register allocator:

1. intermediate code is basic blocks connected with edges. Each block has a bit vector the size of which is the number of local variables. If a variable is referenced in a basic block, the corresponding bit is set.

2. basic blocks are sorted in depth first order

3. variables are sorted by "weight", which is incremented for each use, incremented by 10 for each use in a loop, by 100 for each use in a nested loop, etc.

4. code is generated with nothing assigned to registers, but registers used are marked in a bit vector, one per basic block

5. Now the register allocator allocates registers unused in a basic block to variables that are used in the basic block, in the order of the weights

6. Assigning variables to registers often means less registers are used for code generation, so more registers become available, so the process is done again until no more registers can be assigned

There are more nuances, such as variables passed to a function via registers, which introduces complications - should it stay in a register, or be moved into memory? But dealing with that is why I get paid the Big Bucks.
Remarkable that it's 2025 and laptop sleep/suspend still doesn't work right on linux. I think the first time I encountered this was probably 15 years ago now?
If you do this you should also be good at story telling. Not working on the new things, but making sure the core business running, is often times looked down upon in my experience. Most leaders will see the greenfield project move fast and wonder why the established and "complete" software moves slower.
I am also not your internist but wanted to upvote and second this comment. Op mentions being 29 years old, but should have a gi tract evaluation. Not necessarily now when dealing with the bacteremia but should be discussed.
Why are you curious? I didn't say there were only two classes. I said there's been "roughly" two classes over the last 30 years. Add other classes if you want (billionaire tech owners who don't code, billionaires in non-tech fields like real estate or agriculture or petroleum, old-money San Franciscans, millionaire non-working property owners who don't know how to open a Google Doc), it doesn't affect the conclusions: "tech workers" (and the "tech owners" who pay them) are an important factor causing many of the problems in SF.
I don’t think it is. It’s not random. Words are borrowed because they’re useful and fill in some gap or serve some new purpose.

For all the years I've been using Linux, I've always had some kind of sleep issues.
I've used Intel, AMD, ATI, and NVIDIA hardware across countless distros and setups, yet nothing seems to make a difference, there's always something that doesn’t work properly with sleep or hibernation.

Honestly, it's one of the main issues I wish the Linux community would take a closer look at and finally fix!

> The end-stage dystopia of the deprofessionalization of teachers is already apparent in some parts of the US. A new online charter school, Unbound Academy, plans to teach kids for two hours a day using learning apps driven by artificial intelligence. Afternoons will be spent on activities like public speaking and group projects.

> Initially approved for grades four to eight, this school replaces teachers with “guides,” who provide emotional support and individual coaching, at a ratio of one guide to every thirty-three students. For the moment, these guides still need teaching degrees, at least according to the charter school’s initial application for approval.

Given that a giant chunk of "teaching" just involves lecturing about the same material over and over again, replacing 50% of a teacher's time with video lectures that the child watches at home seems like a good option. Then the teacher could spend the time answering questions and helping the student directly. And since videos have a marginal scaling cost, the school could use high-quality videos (e.g, 3Blue1Brown YT videos) for everyone in the school system.
Anyone can write no code.
Not sure if I’d call that “stealing meetings”, I find it incredibly useful to rephrase what’s been decided on and who will do the next steps because that can easily get lost in the meeting,

An IT director who listens to the people under them and lets them work? That sounds great. There is nothing worse than someone who isn’t involved enough to know/need to know about something that slows down meetings asking everyone to explain what they mean.

The only thing worse is when someone isn’t paying attention but perks up with certain topic/keywords come up. Often asking questions that were just answered had they been listening.
I already pointed this out above. It translates to ‘universe’ as in ‘space’ but not really ‘universe’ in the sense of ‘universal’.

Anyway… this business of translating individual words is basically nonsense.
During the late 19th to early 20th century, asylums were launched all over the US. They were commonly public-private partnerships but tended to be spearheaded by altruistic individuals. They were genuinely positive places and were constantly lauded by the public/press/pols.

The focus on humane care was universal. The methods sometimes suffered from incomplete understanding but that improved over time.

From 1930s to 1960s, the responsible individuals died off and no one replaced them. The p/p/p quit caring. Locations transitioned to gov-only. The public/press weren't interested so neither were pols. The quality of care steeply fell off as budgets (read 'efficiency') were prioritized over everything.

By the 1970s, asylums were associated with hellholes for mostly good reasons. By the 1980s most were shuttered. The public justification was the inhumane conditions (typically true). The motivating reason was to recapture the remaining funds that were spent on them. There was little/no interest in funding replacements.

This is 100% true. Those problems you are solving probably don’t look all that important, but, in reality, they have been blocking sales, renewals, account expansions, or even access to markets for a long time. The business side of the house has probably given up or occasionally tries to wag the dog to get it fixed.

I think the analogy would work better if you had a couple of iron filings with the design of the engine block imprinted on it, then you constructed the engine by pouring buckets of stuff in the right proportions at the right time until the iron filings formed a working engine.

If such an engine existed, perhaps it might be more amenable to refilling its oil in such circumstances.

> But if it once was (or still is) alternative, one might then ask: Alternative to what?

One might ask that, but not if one were very smart.
"Alternative" was the dumping ground for anything not playing on the weekly top-40, rap, country, or oldies channels. It's a useless genre

On any given day you could turn the radio to the "alternative" channel and have almost no expectation at all as to what kind of music you'd hear. In that sense REM is perfect for the genre, because their sound changed so much from album to album.

These are all alternative songs, all of which played on the alternative radio stations alongside REM, but good luck finding any kind of common thread beyond "there's usually a guitar involved":

Three issues with believing this:
1. How long does it take to undo this though even if it might be an automated screwup?

2. Why it isn’t getting banned on other social networks and only on X?

3. Didn’t X previously block Substack and Mastodon URLs?
Ditto. (Except I live in the Mission.)
mise (née rtx), by the same author, could confidently claim this because the tool it replaced – asdf – is written in bash. Bash is perfectly capable for a great many things, but unless you’re getting fairly deep into the weeds of what it can do (e.g. eschewing external calls to sed et al. whenever possible in favor of parameter substitution), you’ll tank performance from sub-shell spawn times. mise was objectively and obviously faster out of the box, though nearly any language that included basic text processing functionality would’ve been acceptably fast.

In general though, I agree that the blanket statement of “X is good because it’s language Y” is absurd, though I stubbornly cling to the opposite case for NodeJS, because I despise the idea of a frontend language running anything but a browser window. I have no objective defense.

> Not many people have Eliot down as an influential player in the history of AI — and they would be right. Her contribution has been for most part overlooked, even as folks begin to unpick the role of fiction shaping the trajectory of the AI industry.

It's because it reads mostly as a retread of the far-better known Samuel Butler pieces like _Erewhon_ years before (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_among_the_Machines was 1863), and which Eliot likely read given her lifestyle & how closely she echoes him. Surprising to see no mention of Butler at all in OP, given what critical context it is - she was not writing in a vacuum.

Oh, I see, so the value of the DSL is in handling the pair of request and response. I suppose that makes sense.

Exactly. Fox News covered it a little bit. Whereas the media hasnt gone a day without this being the leading story since Trump was inaugurated.
TL;DR:

During suspend, for graphics cards, GPU VRAM needs to be transferred to system RAM.

However, during high memory usage scenarios the VRAM + RAM usage could exceed system memory -- this would ordinarily involve system swap coming into play and handling the temporarily out of memory issue. However system swap was already deactivated when it came time to suspending the AMD card causing all sorts of problems.

The fix was asking the GPU to evict its VRAM to system RAM via the hook ("suspend prepare") before swap was deactivated in linux kernel.
What's her secret? She works in healthcare, which is very expensive in the United States and especially in the Bay Area, and tends to pay nurses very very well (especially in the Bay Area). This illustrates my point. Her high salary as a nurse comes at the cost of many people around her, in many ways: we all pay higher healthcare costs, in part because of the high pay for doctors and nurses (as well as to hospital administrators, insurance companies, drug companies, etc.), and she's yet another highly-paid professional with the ability to outcompete other people for things like housing. Is she working class? I'm not convinced that she is.

I'm saying it's moot because, if you're just flagging things for review, there's already a more direct and reliable way to do that. The OCR classifier itself outputs a confidence score. The naieve way of just checking that confidence score will work. The OCR classifier has less overall information than an LLM, but the information it has is much more relevant to the task it's doing.

The Most Useful Thing AI Has Ever Done [video]
Not to gatekeep, but I question whether this is even a legacy project, or just "not greenfield."

Legacy projects are usually have shoestring budgets for any changes. After all, they are legacy for a reason: likely nobody has touched the system in a while. I can't think of a single legacy client I have that would be okay with a company wasting their hours on adding a new framework. It can be hard enough to convince them to let us add tests or upgrade from PHP 5.6

Well, thank you for the compliment :)

There's slippage of claims here, maybe. It's clearly not the case that every record with wrong data is fraudulent, and I don't think Musk believes or said that (though maybe he did, the dude tweets all the time). We certainly agree that it isn't the case.

The claims being made as I understand it are that the US SSDB has a lot of obviously wrong data in it, that bad age data is frequently a sign of fraud as proven by the audits of other countries, the age data is genuinely bad and not a result of misunderstandings, and therefore that Musk is likely correct when he argues there is a lot of fraud in the system.

What does "a lot" mean? It's vague but clearly not 100%. At the same time, if the numbers do transfer then less than half a million people fraudulently claiming pensions is quite a lot! And that would be just one source of fraud, one of the easiest to detect without effort. There will be plenty of people under the age of 100 who have died and weren't registered either, or people who never existed and so on. So whether we're talking millions, or a million, or even with a very restricted criteria less than half a million. In ordinary English, it's a lot.
