It's only click bait if you aren't in Germany and think any non-US election should be labelled as such in a headline.

The headline does use the words "research" and "potential" in it, because it is literally researching election interference that might come up in Germany.

Given the ... participation that X's owner has engaged in so far regarding German politics [1] [2] [3] it doesn't seem that outrageous.

If its publicaly accessable data, then why don't they just take it? Would that require effort they would have to expend to further their own aims?

Sounds more like they want X to do the work for them.
>The democrats are stuck in supporting the new deal bureaucracy and the post ww2 order

> The new Republican party seems to be an alliance of people who just really want to cheer the crumbling of the old system

I agree, and I think this is a bizarre flipping of the "Democrat ~= progressive / Republican ~= conservative" dynamic that has been largely assumed throughout my lifetime.

We need both conservative and progressive forces in our society. Someone needs to be saying "here's what's wrong with our system; here's what needs to change", and someone else needs to balance that with "here's what we're doing right; here are the parts that are working well and that we should not get rid of".

It seems to me that now, instead of that tug-of-war discussion happening between the two parties, it is happening in parallel within them. Unfortunately, the sane and responsible version of that discussion is happening entirely within the boundary of the Democratic coalition, in a way that is completely ineffectual because (a) the internal conservative moderating force is relatively strong in a moment when the populace seems to want more progressive action, and (b) to they have so little ability to effectively wield political power.

Meanwhile, the Republicans are dominated by a bizarro "progressive" faction that wants to pull us all in an entirely different (IMHO regressive) direction. And that faction is completely unchecked by any internal "conservative" moderating force within its own party, so it is for the moment able to push us as hard and fast as possible in its preferred direction.
You're kidding right? Even the biggest trans-ally, who spends to much time on twitter and thinks identity politics is the final hurdle in society wouldn't hesitate to pick saving the lives over a microaggression, and would recognize that even deigning to write why would be undignified.

Just one snippet from the relevant regulation:

> This Regulation therefore provides a framework for compelling access to data from very large online platforms and very large online search engines to vetted researchers affiliated to a research organisation within the meaning of Article 2 of Directive (EU) 2019/790, which may include, for the purpose of this Regulation, civil society organisations that are conducting scientific research with the primary goal of supporting their public interest mission.

There is a bunch of more mentions of "research" too if you have the free-time to go through it.

But in short; Yes, VLOPs (https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/dsa-vlops) need to provide data to researchers, for free.
Were the first point-contact transistors that were developed in the 1940s at Bell Labs and that consisted of a piece of gold foil stretched over a plastic wedge which was then cut by hand at the tip and pressed against a block of germanium stacked on a metal base, a computer or an experiment?

Living close to Vandenberg, I can assure you that the taxpayer actually gets something for that money. I see and hear the product of the dollars spent lifting cargo into orbit quite regularly.

OTOH, I have never seen a tiny bit of tangible benefit from consultancies getting paychecks from NASA to make presentations about equity and environmental justice, which was a big push from our national space agency until very recently.

What VPNs can offer though are censorship resistance and masking your IP from non-governmental (and perhaps governmental if the logs really aren't kept) third parties. Which for many people is what they really need more so than full tor anonymity.

It's very rare that I can't get through a blog post because I find the argument too disingenuous to tolerate, but that was the case here. There are usually some nuggets of insight even in a tirade, and that may very well be the case here too, but the bad faith arguments came so fast and furious that I couldn't keep going.
>“I hope that the businesses open their eyes more and more, and understand that it’s important to have good quality of ice with a good story,”

The environmental waste of shipping ice just seems silly.
Reminds me of a job posting sent by a recruiter that expected candidates to seek "professional and personal hypergrowth", "keep up with an unrelenting pace", and "thrive on change". Dealing with these facets of work in moderation is all well and good. However, these and other points led me to guess that they had set up a high-pressure, possibly chaotic environment, perhaps on purpose.

I opted not to pursue the opportunity.
He didn't just gush about Grok 3. He detailed his tests which appear to be reproducible, what he did, which one passed, which one failed.
DC fast chargers tend to cost much more than level 2 chargers. They have expensive equipment, more expensive electricity (intermittent high load is more expensive than more continuous lower levels, even for the same total power), and there tends to be a limited number of them so you want to encourage people to do level 2 charging when possible, and only DC fast charging on road trips when they really need it.

So prices are much higher than for normal AC charging. Most of the charging you do should be AC charging at your home or work.
It's insufficient to say that something is objectively better. Often times user preferences are multi-modal, and people cluster around groups. Pipe-based database query syntax may be objectively "easier" by some mathematical deduction, but by the laws of statistics > 50% of the userbase may prefer a different syntax.
Google glass looked stupid. So I think the biggest pushback was on people looking different, and not in a good way.

The casual, patent absurdity juxtaposed with the ennui of modern life at a corporate job is, in a genuine literary sense, Kafkaeque. Bravo.

That said, this also feels like something of a relic from the zero-interest-rate era when jobs like this were plentiful, before layoff fever swept the American boardroom.
Any job where you have to get regularly punched in the stomach is a terrible job regardless of the compensation involved. That others may have even worse jobs doesn't change that.

How much gasoline are you using? I'm paying $0.75/gal combined state+local. This is about ~1/5 the current gasoline price. If we assume an average drive distance of 13,500 miles/yr, and an average mpg of 26, and my local 75cents/gallon, the average American spends $390/yr on gas tax. Honestly it seems exceedingly fair for roads.
To add to what was said, one of the main ways to leak memory is `Box::leak` [0], meaning most memory leaks are explicit and intentional, rather than implicit and accidental. Likely the main implicit/accidental way to leak memory are Rc cycles.

Looks like https://cglab.ca/%7Eabeinges/blah/everyone-poops/ has more background on why this is allowed.

The two Github links the author lists at the top of his post point to the same issue and in that issue is a solution to his problem (use $state.raw).

I've been a fan of Svelte since version 2 or 3 because it was the closest I could get to writing vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, whilst also enjoying the benefits of a framework (and then using Sass and TypeScript). Fantastic.

Svelte 5 made me feel uneasy because runes are weird. After upgrading a project with it and working on another project, it's not so bad. I like that Svelte 5 disallows you from mixing the old and new ways of handling state and the error messages are mostly informative.

I see people in these comments talking about htmx and vanilla JS being objectively better and...no? For what YOU do, sure. Personally, Svelte is still a lot simpler to grok than React and for the people that care about benchmarks, Svelte is just as fast as SolidJS (I feel like the React crowd could pretty easily switch to Solid, the syntax feels similar).
Right, but giving someone stocks instead of money will be an income, not a capital gain?
Yep! Most likely!
One important aspect (to me, at least) that the article doesn't mention is that physical media comes with actual ownership rights (first-sale doctrine), and that by whatever lucky coincidence publishers weren't able to introduce widespread DRM to physical audio media.
Those workshop tools, much like automotive equipment, yard tools, or kitchen supplies, do not fit neatly in a Marie Kondo de-cluttering "Get rid of it if you haven't used it in 6 months" model. You may not have used a 60mm hole saw, ball joint press spacer, trenching spade, or the coarse insert for your cheese grater in 6 months, but that doesn't mean you should get rid of that item. Instead, I think of it more as the capacity to do arbitrary tasks with those tool sets. Each task will require a random assortment of sub-components, and getting any single task done efficiently is likely to require a pretty well-stocked workshop.

One way to solve this problem is by delegating it to tradesmen, but I personally think that cooking, home repair, gardening, and (to an increasingly smaller extent) automotive maintenance are things that well-rounded homeowners should be able to do the basics (which requires having the tools) by themselves.

I do wish that our society did a better job of sharing these supplies - we've got what I consider to be a good relationship with our neighbors, and yet everyone on my street has their own cordless drill, their own lawnmower, their own Kitchenaid, their own wrenches, and so on, even though the vast majority of these objects are only used for at most a few hours per month. All of them are taking up space, all of them are slowly deteriorating due to entropy/rust/general obsolesence, all of them cost money...and yet each household must to have their own.
Because its click bait
> Model still appears to be just a bit too overly sensitive to "complex ethical issues", e.g. generated a 1 page essay basically refusing to answer whether it might be ethically justifiable to misgender someone if it meant saving 1 million people from dying.

The real "mind virus" is actually these idiotic trolley problems. Maybe if an LLM wanted to be helpful it should tell you this is a stupid question.
I think the main purpose of tariffs is to serve as a 'stick', to (supposedly) punish other countries for not doing what they're told. Trump has no concept of 'constructive engagement' or negotiation. He thinks in black and white -- do what I want or else. Tariffs are 'else', despite the fact they'll likely hurt America more than help.
I start thinking that Trump and Elon are Russian assets whose task is to destroy the US from the inside. Both were heavily involved with Russians before, travelled to Russia as private citizens, and they both could be compromised long ago. If Russia and China tried to think about ways to ruin the US, they couldn't come up with a better plan than what Trump and Musk do to the US as to both home and foreign policies.
truly fascinating comment..... will have to research this further!
Not remembering when expert systems were the thing myself I looked it up:

Lots of people still use older processor nodes. For example Groq[1] uses 14nm chips for their inference chips. Older fab tech is cheaper to use (less demand and higher yields). Most chips made are on older processes, it's only the bleeding-edge CPU/GPU chips that use bleeding-edge fab tech.

> the government has been actively pushing their ideology down the throat of companies too

can you provide some details here on what you mean. The phrase "pushing their ideology down the throat" does not exactly scream "non-partisan thought process" to me, but I'm always open to learning and listening.
To be fair, the reason svelte 5 is that awkward to use is because they still need to be compatible with svelte 4 code.

Without svelte 4 compatibility, you can just replace `$state` with `$`, `$derived` with `$$` or even some simpler mechanisms. Heck, I have vague intuition that we can reuse the `$: ` statements someway too, and still keep the new deep reactivity feature.

Might be svelte 6 will give us the proper answer. Or some newer fancy framework will take the hint and do it sooner.
(Not a regular rust developer, so take this with a large grain of salt)

Rust can absolutely prevent memory leaks. It depends on how much unsafe rust code you use. Many rust developers find the convenience outweighs the risk of leaks, and take the tradeoff offered by the `Rc` type.
This looks very nice. Good job shipping it!

For me personally, though, it's a hard sell. Since I just paid my JetBrains renewal, I am currently very aware that I'm paying $173/year for *all* of their IDEs, and PyCharm Pro is very good.

Just from looking through the site for this one, while it does some *SUPER* nice things, it doesn't replace everything I use from just PyCharm Pro, let alone from the other JetBrains tools that I also use and get in that subscription.

So it costs more than my current subscription, and wouldn't let me replace it even if the Linux version suddenly shipped today.

I love the competition in this space and wish you good luck. But, as someone who's obviously willing to pay for tools in this space, the only ways I could suggest that you could get my business would be:

1. Grow your feature set to the point that I could replace my JetBrains subscription with yours.

2. Become a JetBrains add-on, and reduce your price to something less than $10/mo.

Both of those look like tough roads... I hope you succeed wildly, even so.
I don't really know what point you're trying to make beyond reframing the situation into different terms where different things are assumed constant, and then not actually examining what happens when those things are not constant.

I tried to meet you there with the terminology of the Keynes quote and you argued definitions rather than address the translated point.

In the general framework you're pushing, if the government does not run a deficit by being a place to park money, then that money remains in the economy regardless - private savings is generally in terms of loans to banks which then propagate the money elsewhere, not simply holding vast quantities of Federal Reserve Notes. (And frankly FRNs should really be considered part of the debt/deficit too)
I was very happy with myself for seeing the first trick... but fell for the second trick.

In my experience, though, hyperbole in job listings is usually the product of someone in HR who doesn't know how to write job listings, so they write a bunch of vacuous words that sound good but mean nothing.

You open up other spaces. Society mostly distracts you with busy work. It’s really psychotic to have someone do anything for 8 hours a day.

Think of it like this. You have other rooms in your house that you don’t know what to do with. You might know how to decorate your first room, maybe even your second, but by the time you are lucky enough to have the fifth room, you won’t really know what to fill it with.

Luxury. It takes some imagination to fill it.
I love big boxes too! The manuals also show that developers really really know their products.

It sucks that fast iteration is the new normal nowadays. It's not a bad thing if developers are eager to get their hands on a cutting edge feature, but I believe doing things slower but more thoroughly has its merit.
Great stuff!!!
Just today, my think tank released a report also. Helps me to get tax payer funded grants
Everything that you just mentioned, as far as "what it's actually doing" is either speculation/speculation accessories or is a not-as-good-version of existing offerings. Where is the value?

UniSwap: a marketplace for speculation on arguably scam crypto products.

Aave Marketplace: a marketplace for speculation on arguably scam crypto products.

FileCoin: file storage at rates 50% higher than e.g. BackBlaze/DigitalOcean.

There's no actual value here other than as scam, speculation (nearly a scam), or products that are flimsy pretenses at not being scams (but which don't deliver a lot of value). Why should anybody care (other than transparent greed)?
Right now, I'm imagining AMD as Danny DeVito's character, Frank Reynolds, in that episode of Always Sunny where the gang wrestles for the troops. He's the Trashman, which is an awful wrestling persona, but at the end of the match, everyone else is seriously injured on the floor of the ring. With a bewildered look on his face, he slowly raised his arms, and the crowd went wild.

Sometimes you just gotta stick to the core competencies and stick to them well.

>The Internet ... should have had no bearing on our actual day-to-day living experience.

Replace "The Internet" with previous communications technology and maybe that will demonstrate how completely unrealistic that sounds. Television should have had no bearing on our day-to-day existence? Phones? Radio?

I guess you can arbitrarily draw the line at the Internet, sort of like the Amish did with electricity. But it seems arbitrary to me.

The moral of every sci-fi story is that technology is morally neutral and it's how you use it that matters. Why would The Internet be different?

My argument is: Some/many providers are known to abuse user data, are required by law to store them. Are actively and legally selling the data.

Most VPN providers don't do that. Some might, but a lower probability is still better than knowing that the ISP is legally required to store your data and give them to the authorities.

(this really depends on the country, in some countries ISPs are required not to store connection data, in others they are)
