The way DOGE is shutting down things is extraconstitutional. They are essentially saying they have the power to shut down Congressionally appointed agencies, which is explicitly against the Constitution. They are creating a situation where in future generations, whatever power comes in can change everything, creating immense instability. Congress is supposed to pass laws, and the Executive is supposed to implement them. They can't choose not to implement them, because it would allow them to declare a valid law null and void. This is known as "impoundment" and it was explicitly made illegal by Congress after Nixon, but the Constitution spells out why the idea is so absurd -- it's not a power the President has.

So what are the downsides of DOGE's actions? They are fully upending the Constitutional order of checks and balances. I personally thought it was an okay system, but really it seems like enough people are willing to ignore it, that the Constitution is effectively suspended.

When they first figured out that turtles use magnetic fields to navigate, they placed them in kiddie swimming pools in someone's backyard and placed large electromagnets next to the swimming pools. Multiple turtles reliably oriented themselves according to the magnetic field direction corresponding with their seasonal migration direction.

This paper is claiming something different, something to do with a particular magnetic field having a behavioral association.

Lot of question marks and need for some more context. Why would turtles evolve the dancing behavior? Does it have to do with the kind of food they eat and how they get that food? No, turtles did not evolve like dogs to dance and do tricks for food.

The brand of Silicon Valley itself is in the tank. A lot of talent is going to go elsewhere. And this isn't Musk or Trump's doing alone. All the VC folks and other CEOs who are explicitly or tacitly endorsing all this performative cruelty and corruption are killing the culture that made their wealth. They'll be fine, if bitter, but more of that talent is going to stay in Europe or Japan or India or Australia or wherever it might be. There will still be a draw, but the relative advantage of all the places that haven't taken the dystopian turn into authoritarianism has increased. And if the people who do come to SV are the ones indifferent to authoritarianism, it will poison the culture further. Frankly, authoritarianism is the province of angry mediocrities. These aren't the people who build a beautiful future.

It's probably a good thing if the people who built the culture and technology -- not the CEOs and investors but their employees -- learn their overlords are not kind and benevolent and start taking measures to protect themselves.

> I don't know if its rare? I think most people just never held a magnet against their face.

If it were not rare, and simply because most people haven't held a magnet against their nose, people would definitely feel it during an MRI scan, since those are much much much stronger than any regular magnet. An MRI will rip a nose piercing right out of you, a regular magnet you'd have around the home couldn't do that.

As a retired UK psychotherapist I entirely agree

I am pleased you used reifying, Thats why I chose my username.

Labelling is the main cause of this continuing nightmare bestowed upon the human race.

Wihtout a label you cannot get medication.

All those overworked psychiatrists peering into the DSM5 or the ICD10 when you leave the office or consulting room. I mean! everyone on the planet can reach the threshold of depression when you have 12 criteria and you only require 5 of those criteria to be diagnosed (labelled) as depressed.

Well. Here are my 5 criteria, and I do not have depression but, if I went to the doctors complaining of these symptoms they would prescribe some SSRI and offer a referral to the psyche team.

1. I have trouble sleeping almost every night. 2. I feel tired all the time. 3. I struggle with ennui and being bored as if life is pointless. 4. I sometimes over eat or do not eat enough. 5. I cannot concentrate on my many hobbies that I used to enjoy.

My diagnosis? I am nearly 70 years old and life is sometimes shit. Thats just how it is.

I read recently that 8 million people in the UK are on anti-depressants. The true facts are that barely any of these people need an anti-depressant.

Human moods are just part of the human condition and we do not need any drugs to support us through those periods.

In my 20 years working as a psychotherapist I never saw anybody who benefitted from anti-depressants.

I will leave you with these two words

paradoxical reaction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is what anti-depressants do. They create depressive symptoms for you and then hope that your brain will adapt to this medically induced depression and cure you.

There is no cure people. Just lie after lie about the myth of Chemical Imbalance

you have all been sold a pup!

In that case, yes there were. They were generally worded as anti-crossdressing laws, but that is what they were. Here's a quick excerpt from the wikipedia article on cross-dressing that sums it up well:

> The birth of anti-cross-dressing laws (also known as masquerade laws and the three-article rule)[31] stemmed from the increase in non-traditional gender expression during the spread of America's frontier, and the will to reinforce the two-gender system which was threatened by those who deviated from it.[32] Some of the earlier cases of US arrests made due to cross-dressing are seen in 19th century Ohio. In 1848, Ohio passed a law which prohibited its citizens from publicly presenting themselves "in a dress not belonging to his or her sex," and during the 1850s, over 40 cities in the US went on to pass anti-cross-dressing laws.[33] By the time the US entered WWI, over 150 cities had passed anti-cross-dressing ordinances.

This reminds me of one of the propaganda points used in Soviet times to justify denying permission to emigrate to Soviet Jews in 1970-80s. Since they got free education courtesy of the state, they were supposed to stay and "work it off".

I agree that Novell was great for SUSE back in the day.

I co-wrote 6 academic textbooks with Novell on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Thompson / Course Technology, and I have fond memories of the whole team at Novell during that time.

Each time I was asked to write another textbook for Novell on SUSE, the publisher used YaST (Yet another SUSE Textbook) in the subject line of the email.

Oh, and yes, SUSE is a great distro!
It is pointless to argue with you.

All the relevant documents I should be able to link to have been purged from various Federal sites due to “DOGE” shenanigans.

Congressional appropriations are how money is allocated, regardless of party in charge of Congress or the Executive. If the money is misspent there’s a range of tools available to Congress AND the Executive to correct the problem. But if we're just going to let a group of people decide on their own what is or isn't fraud then, regardless of your political belief system, we're simply fucked.

Since I don't live in the USA, I don't have a feeling for the current political climate [pun intended] there, so take the following remark with a grain of salt.

But if I go by my gut feeling, I'd say that there is a difference between wanting to understand by what and how much the climate is influenced by various factors (as unpolitical as possible in this academic discipline) vs having a political stance which policy measures to take based on these insights (e.g.

- do nothing and tolerate the possible risks

- lobby for strongly reducing CO2 emissions

- lobby for doing geoengineering to stop the climate change

). My feeling is that at least some climate scientists want to be both researchers and "politicians" for their academic discipline.

> Every other intelligence agency on the planet is about to scoop a ton of American data via cyber and basic HUMINT

I was replying to what was written. I read this as implying that sensitive (or any) data was available.

> and access data from

Again, is there any evidence that any data was accessible, beyond what is visible on the webpage? If you read the article, the flaw was that anything could be pushed. Could you link a source that says extra data was accessible? Your claim is not made in the above article, and I can't find anything mentioning data access, with a quick search.
The unfortunate truth is that the one true way these days is React, and if you're doing anything else you're in for a world of pain.
I've noticed that when finance guys learn that there's a really useful AI thing called diffusion, they get all excited and start writing stochastic differential equations and drawing 1-D Brownian motion plots all over the place. It's not yet clear to me whether this helps anyone understand AI diffusion models, but they seem to enjoy it a lot.

You probably also need at least:
- Y does not appear when X does not
- We need an overwhelming sample size containing examples of both X and not X
- The experiment and data collection and trivially repeatable (so that we don't need to rely on trust)
- The experiment, data collection and analysis must be easy to understand and sensible in every way without leaving room for error

No. It's not an issue with efficiency at all.
This seems like something which should have been found a while back. Using local soils to hold formwork beyond tokenistic levels is a nice idea. If it can retain shape and be stable for the curing time, its perfect and presumably reduces site waste burdens, although I could imagine one time plastic (barrier, surface smoothing) waste rises a bit.

Given pisé and Adobe and mud brick, the stability under compaction and loadbearing limits would have been known, so it seems odd it hasnt been explored for formwork or moulding before.

It would very much depend on the quality of soil to hand.
Lobst.rs seems much quieter, and almost all posts are programming related. It's very narrow.

Not true. I've built multiple production apps with Blazor WASM. Works great. Only drawback is the continually delayed multi threading support, but given native JS multi threading is far from ideal it's not a huge drawback.
Some of the "data science" people I've met certainly believed that they could architect entire software systems just because they understood how to structure data in databases.

Sadly, firms abuse odd lot rules to give people terrible prices: https://academiccommons.columbia.edu/doi/10.7916/2y01-1s13/d...

In example 3, the NBBO for stock ABC is 495--500, but there is also an odd lot offer for 497 on exchange. If a Robinhood customer sends a market buy order, then Citadel is allowed to fill it for 499.999 even though it's better to send to the exchange. (And if they then pick up the odd lot themselves, it's easy arbitrage.)

By the way, while you're correct about some of your claims, odd lot executions definitely have to occur within the NBBO. (How could it be otherwise?) Otherwise, in the example above, Citadel would give an even worse price!
I'm not too sure about this theory; just went on the DOGE site and the API endpoints don't allow for POST requests, and I can't find anything that allows me to upload

I downloaded Zed when it took way too long for VS Code to load the monorepo at work. It took almost as long for me to download and install Zed and then open the monorepo as it did for VS Code to load the monorepo. I think the was a fluke with VS Code as it didn't normally take this long but it did happen often enough to be annoying.

I also find Zed to be snappier than VS Code. It's hard to quantify but it just feels better to use Zed.

For reference, I mainly work on a Node/Typescript monorepo that is made up of a bunch of serverless services and is deployed with SST v2

Let's dig into this for a second.

Which "Soundfont lib for JUCE" are you talking about? How did you find it in the first place? Why did you decide to use it if there was no documentation? How did you know it was appropriate or capable for your use case? How did you know it was mature, stable, or safe? Did you read the headers for the library? Did they have comments? Did you read the technical specification for the Soundfont format to understand how it modeled sample libraries?

I work in this stuff all the time, and I'm so very puzzled by what you're even suggesting here.

I found it weird that IPv6 folks are so against NAT as a cultural thing when it works perfectly well on IPv6. They're not fundamentally opposed.

I could have all of my servers in public subnets and give them all public IP addresses, but I still prefer to put everything I can in private. Not only does the firewall not allow traffic in, but you can't even route to them. It now becomes really hard to accidentally grant more access than you intended.

I would hazard that most devices on there internet are in the boat of want to talk to the internet but not be reachable on it.

You're arguing in the right direction, but you have the wrong basis.

American Conservatives don't believe the government is evil, they believe that not having control over the government is evil. The slash and burning of agencies and departments isn't just due to a deep seated hatred, it's a need for control. And in order to have control you need consolidation.

American Conservatives have no problems with state governments vastly overreaching their authority or punishing cities. They have no issue with potentially taxing workers more to issue tax breaks for corporations. And they have no issue using the government to punish, stalk or harass dissidents.
