Great story. I am a bit further along on the learning curve. Know and can do all those steps. And still, I have both an "appliance man" (actually a repair guy who also delivers and installs) and a plumber in my phone. The appliance man is the one most people fail to send money to. Why is the appliance man great? He knows, being the repair guy, which brands and models are sh*t and which are not. And that for less than a 10% premium on the online price of appliances. That's just so much value for money.

(Point in case to the story, estimation is important. Knowing what jobs to buy externally can be even more worthwhile.)

That's a another data point for fingerprinting, sadly. Not that Chrome would care, but Firefox and Safari teams do, I guess.
Build your own. But direct from Alibaba or mouser or digikey.

The main science behind it is to hit the absorption peaks of a mitochondrial enzyme. You can make em bright, but be limited on how long you can use it, or dim and be forced to use it constantly for the same effect.

Pulse width modulation is very important in this for penetration. High intensity allows for deeper penetration, but heats up cells causing stress. The ideal scenario is a really strong light, run at a really low duty cycle, allowing for both intensity AND low average wattage, this lessening thermal issues

There might be other mechanisms of actions, as there are so many papers that say "light good", but until they can give a mechanism of action, I'm sticking with what I know

> Therefore I find the premise of this article to be flawed. Essentially all western countries (including all powers in Europe: UK, France, Germany) chose to mostly ignore their obligations toward Ukraine in international treaties, for more than a decade now. Trump is doing something bad, and so now we blame it all on Trump?

Yes the western leaders chose hope in 2014 that the problem would just go away. In 2022, they didn't dare escalate to a full-scale war, but supplied Ukraine with arms and a lot of billions (to the tears of their populace). In 2025, two people with a trail of Putin fanboying/being his apologists (Trump and Musk) are "negotiating" with Putin for what's probably going to be surrender, that they'll sell as a win to their galaxy-brain followers. And they've already paused the money going into Ukraine.

Good or bad isn't binary, there's different levels of it.

And then when Trump took over, as Vindman testified, Trump tried to use the help for Ukraine as leverage for them to find dirt on Biden. what a fucking class act.
I literally have memories from when I was 4. Same clarity as new memories.

Humans hallucinate as well. Benchmarks count.
I use them as a springboard for things I am really unfamiliar with. I'm self-learning electronics at the moment, and so I can ask it things like "what's a common and widely available cooperator." You will not find that answer on a search engine, I don't care how good your Google fu is.

It's a weak jack of all trades: it knows a fair amount about the sum of human knowledge (which is objectively super-human), but can't go deep on any one thing, and still seriously lags behind humans in terms of reasoning. It's an assistant that all book smarts and no street smarts. Or maybe: it's a search engine for insanely specific things.

Rote work, as well. Things like porting an enum from one programming language to another: past the source language into a comment and start it off with one or two lines in the target language. Dozens of tabs are surely faster than manual typing, copy paste, or figuring out vim movements/macros.
Yes, that is one aspect, and when the drafts was published you could see orgs started running (I've got a nice timeline in my slides). But I still find the haste interesting. There is very little time for the transitions compared to the adoption rate of other crypto standards. The NIST algos are imho still quite immature, which is one big motivation for hybrid schemes.

A bit off topic, as a European, what is happening with DOGE, slashing funding for CISA, TAA etc, I'm seriously worried about NIST. As you say, NIST is very important in many areas. For USA, with things like the coordintated universal time normal. But also for federal cybersec standards that have led to interop with the rest of the world cryptographically. Will NIST be slashed, and if so will the crypto department be spared? If not, what would remain? New standards, the validation program? Will Falcon become a standard, or for that matter the new lightweight symmetric algo based on Ascon? (For which I'm eagerly waiting for NIST to publish test vectors so that I'm able verify that my implementation is compliant.)

It's quite analogous, especially for ideal intensity

Bright enough to warm the body, but not thermally stress the cells.

And yeah, closing your eyelids would block UV light from getting in and cross linking proteins and causing cataracts, while still allowing for NIR light to get in and speed up the mitochondria.

Analogous for sure
I've never brought a washer/dryer from one house to the next when moving. In my experience, it's been fine. Sometimes I had a washer or dryer that I didn't like all that much (took longer than I'd like, confusing controls, etc.), but I've never ended up with one that damaged my clothes or was so bad that I needed to replace it.

I'm sure there are many instances where there are replacement-worthy problems, and there certainly are people who have splurged on really nice appliances and will want to take them with them when they move, but I think those situations are uncommon enough that, overall, people save time and money by not lugging their washers and dryers with them every time they move. (In places where it's common not to move them, at least.)

This may be true, but taking on too much responsibility in a project or having to do those responsibilities will make you a senior developer. Otherwise, it is not possible to get ahead of the senior developer you are affiliated with.
I applied early last year, and got rejected by a Senior from CodeWeavers but without any insight...

Just:

"The senior reviewed your work and it's a 'no'. However you may want to consider submitting patches to either Wine or Proton. Developers that get patches into either of these projects tend to be sought out and offered developer jobs."

I found it gross, and thought that it was actually an ad to contribute to both Wine and Proton first, and not hire someone.

I know I am not the best C programmer in the world, but I think that if you spend two hours of your time doing a test to have a chance for an interview, you might have a feedback of what was wrong instead of a "nope dude".

The test was composed of two things:
1. reviewing a bad C code and make comments,
2. you have an is an unimplemented string sorting API and you have to provide the implementation, the unit tests, etc.

First time and last time I applied to CodeWeavers.
I don't think this is as much a story about complexity as it is the benefit of specialist experience and tools.

This would have been a very short project if a specialist with all of the right tools and parts were summoned versus the five-trips-to-the-hardware-store-for-what-must-surely-be-the-last-thing-this-time story it turned out to be.

We've all been there. If you're a specialist (such as a software developer), there's little reason not to hire specialists for things like appliance installation. Just because you can do it yourself, doesn't mean you should.

By all means, design and screenprint your own t-shirts and label art and photocopy your zine or whatever. But if you know the job might need 3 different kinds of wrenches, just roll a truck that has 20 wrenches on it already.

None of the "unknown unknowns" to him are actually unknown to a specialist. Of course someone with no experience is going to take 20x longer, they're learning on the job.

Life is short, we're all going to be dead soon. Don't waste it on repeated trips to a retail store to buy meaningless hardware and tools.

Just because I can write frontend software doesn't mean I should; I'd hire a frontend dev who knows all of the tools and libraries and stuff, because the last time I did it was 8 years ago and everything is different now. It'd take me days just to become useful.
I think the point of wanting a control is still valid. Science always benefits from having a control
Cost as in, cost to you? Or cost to serve?

If the cost-to-serve is subsidized by VC money, they aren't getting cheaper, they're just leading you on.
It could also be that they got "inspired" by DeepSeek, hence the very similar results.

So it could be that their success is mostly about taking an open and free thing, and turned it proprietary.
Well it's vim, and any missing dependencies. If there license concerns up front I'll make sure I pick a distro/repo with compatible policy, like Debian main. If I want to double-check I'll run VRMS.
> all other nations would 1) formally declare war on Russia 2) start conventional open hostilities on Russian forces to defend Ukrainian territorial integrity

There are six obligations in the Budapest Memorandum. Your two aren't part of it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum

https://treaties.un.org/doc/Publication/UNTS/Volume%203007/P...

Russia signed as well. Russia broke with their obligations when they annexed Crimea in 2014 and again with their further invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Sure it is. Their policies are comparable to the those of the current trump administration.
> That made me think of how Arendt described the pre-totalitarian mishmash of opinions and totalitarian "opinions"

That is genuinely all. If that is not welcome here, fine, but this "what are you trying to say?" as if there has to be some other layer I just don't get, or this flagging spree against me now.

> much better to just explain it explicitly in your initial reply.

"this made me think of" is implied to me. I could have put some specific phrase in italics, but other than that, just flag the thing. Any reply I make just gets used against me anyway, so do whatever.

> I don't think build systems add -fPIC automatically, nor remove it automatically.

GNU Autotools do, if you tell, that you have a shared library. You can also switch between static/dynamic linking at build time and if you also use GNU Libtool, it will figure out the flags of your build platform at build time.

> as opposed to doing it yourself like make forces you to

You can definitely don't have to do that. GNU Automake does it by default, but if you are using plain Make, you can also use makedepend or the appropriate flags of your compiler.

> either bad ones, like make

What is wrong/missing with make as a task graph executor?

What can Bazel do better?
This is the way.

Seriously, this is the only useful flow I've found for AI coding in general..
This is the crux. A cool thing has been invented, with real usages. Unfortunately, it's cost hundreds of billions of dollars and it has absolutely zero hope of making the trillions needed to justify that.

Now someone will respond about how it's just a stepping stone, and how the billions are justified by _something completely imaginary, and not invented yet, and maybe not ever_ e.g. agents.

Maybe the issue is that at that age we haven’t yet learned compressions for our memories. Maybe at that age our best option would be storing something closer to raw experience because we don’t know enough about the world. Eg we might remember a chair as “brown, lots of orthogonal lines, about my size” rather than using our experience of other chairs.
Most of the stuff online is overpriced and beyond the mitochondrial enzyme absorption spectrum, I can't find any reasonable mechanism for action.

There is no solid evidence of a path to fixing the deficit at the moment.

There is no evidence of this happening, nor of a serviceable plan to do so.

All recovered expenses, to date, add up to a laughably small amount, and are one-time cutbacks. The strategy shows signs of costing the government in unexpected ways as well.

Most governments of developed nations operate in more sensible ways with clearer plans than this. I won't claim they are looting, but it's absurd to suggest they are fixing the deficit at the moment. The economy appears to be getting worse, not better.
This is history. History is not in your list.

There is a lot more if you are not convinced. At any rate Alice Weidel being lesbian means as much as some of the original Nazi leadership being homosexual, nothing. Homosexuality isn't a taboo anymore, holocaust revisionism is. Those to whom it isn't are anathema to those to whom it is.

> As an aside, I know tons of experienced "Senior" developers who just suck at their jobs. The problem is they have tons of experience in delivering terrible products based on terrible code and architectural decisions.

It's a classic tragedy of engineering; you can actually ship with almost anything, and just successfully delivering a product reinforces a feeling that your choices were good, no matter how arbitrary they were in practice.

People can get really confident that what they're doing is tried and true, while it's simply the only approach they've had for all of their career.

That's a good point.

> If we voted with {+1, +0.5, -0.5, 0, 0, 0...} weights, without duplication of non-zero values

Are you describing range/score voting?

I don't think avoiding duplicated values is necessary but it's pretty well known that score voting is the best system: https://rangevoting.org/

See the diagram at the bottom of the page describing voter regrets. Everybody at least somewhat interested in voting systems would prefer this, especially over plurality/FPTP which is the stupidest system possible. But a lot of people are clueless or willingly supporting a broken system.

There's also an explorable explanation by Nicky Case: https://ncase.me/ballot/

Sidenote: the fact you need to explain that expressing more information in one vote is still one vote shows how clueless people are. Obviously every vote has the same power to influence the result but some people will try to wear you down through misunderstood technicalities.

If my Android (or IPhone) disappeared tomorrow, I would feel like I time traveled back a century. If Google search was gone, I wouldn't be able to do my job anymore. If the cloud disappeared, I wouldn't be able to build apps anymore. There are no workarounds, unless you feel like going to a library...?

If ChatGPT disappeared tomorrow (or derivatives like Copilot, etc.), I would be mildly inconvenienced. Then I'd go back to reading docs, writing code slightly slower and carry on. In fact, I did this already, several times (Copilot with GPT-3.5, Cursor, Copilot with GPT-4, Zed with Claude, etc.)

> it'll suck initially, but it'll improve outcomes everywhere else, and that should outweigh the effects of reduced government spending before too long.

There's no rational beyond blind faith here. Inflation will eventually stop, most likely, but thinking that “because of the sacrifice, things will go better in the end” is just magical thinking.

The economy doesn't give a shit about morality, and Germans are paying the price of this belief at this very moment: they put their moral take about debt (“Schuld”, which also means “guilt”) in their Constitution in 2009 and now they are stuck in a recession with no end in sight because the government cannot support their economy, and they also bullied the whole Europe into reducing their debt during the 2010s, which lead to catatonic growth level in the EU for a decade.

When economics policies are decided on a moral basis with religious-inspired arguments it leads to disaster (and it's true no matter what moral values are driving it: Mao starved his population for the exact same reason, even though the moral values that inspired his policies weren't the same).

I don't have a good idea for how to determine whether a threat is sincere or not, or whether or not either party believes it to be so.

On the other hand, it may not be necessary. When I say the law can try to prevent my murder, I don't necessarily mean to deprive my would-be murder of liberty or privacy (since those should be protected in the absence of proven guilt). If you put the prevention on the other side, and offer e.g. a police escort or enforced blocks on communication media then maybe you can discourage/prevent my murder without answering difficult questions like intent.

You might well say, "I shouldn't have to do any of that, they should have to not murder", or "that's all fine but who's going to pay". I have a most marvellous answer to those, but is comment is too small to contain it.
It could be opt-out/opt-in and then all six users that care about privacy could do as they wished.

The EU has its own defense pact similar to NATO's Art.5, the Mutual Defense Clause. It was signed in 2009 (IIRC) to protect Greece from Turkish aggression, since Greece is in the EU, but Turkey is not.

"If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter."

Notice "by all the means in their power" which is different from Art.5. It basically means, that unless you're a officially a neutral nation, you are obliged to go to war.
