Trying to understand your point here (I think we actually agree, but you're coming at it from a different angle).

So you're saying that because they accept Trump as their leader, therefore whatever he does is "moral", regardless of what former "morality standards" they might have had? (I brought up Judeo-Christian because that's where traditionally American moral standards have come from, the 10 Commandments and all.) Or are you saying that all along their moral standards have been "to the strongest" (more Darwinistic in nature).

The right language for a plugin system is the one that attracts the most plugin writers. Supporting many languages is a huge boon for wasm in this department. It's one of the things that makes the JVM and .NET so appealing in the first place, but WASM is better than both combined when it comes to language selection.

> That is a fair amount of money

Honestly, that's not even a peanut compared to what more typical finance institutions manage and earn.

Your typical institutional investor (pension funds, insurance company, fund of fund, bank, etc) manages in the 100s to 1000 billions. Each.

The whole HFT industry probably makes what a single institutional investor earns by buying US debt at 1%.

The HFT industry really is just a small microcosm, it just so happens that it triggers dreams and fantaisies in the public mind.

But that's what we had before, and was it better ? I don't think having 1000s of trader monkeys buying and selling while refreshing their price feeds or shouting in a pit is any better.

At the end of the day, as long as there will be market inefficiencies, there will be arbitragers. I don't see the point of kicking those arbitraging at 1us to replace them with people arbitraging at 1s or 1m.
1) Tesla has not actually shared real datasets, only cherry picked snippets and highlights.

2) This is only the data Tesla chooses to share, at times when Tesla chooses to share it.

They could have other auditors validate the data. They could release full datasets on regular schedules. They could do a lot of things, but they don't. They give little highlights of results without explaining methodologies. They pick seemingly random timeframes. They're not open with this information in the slightest.

they do but its going through objective-c which inherits c enums (which are basically integers) so when you use it from swift its like switching over an unbounded set so you always have to handle "default" cases leading to bugs compared to usage from android

You're misinformed.

"US Air Force fighters intercepting an unknown aircraft near the Whitehouse" don't request anything from anyone outside their chain of command. That's not how anyone gets orders sir.

NMCC is in charge, and any idea you have to the contrary is yours alone.

Now, will NMCC, or someone in the chain, communicate with ATC as part of the response? Yes. But only for the purposes of keeping ATC apprised of the situation and informing ATC that fighters are in the area. No one is standing around waiting on the results of clearance requests in these scenarios.

Your assertions would not only be bad policy, but they're contrary to military sense.

My idea is to sit down and have the conversation about why certain helos are engaged in some of these dangerous practices? And if that reasoning be sufficiently compelling, to consider the pros and cons of closing DCA. If the reasoning be not compelling, then we need to have another discussion about different operating protocols for these aircraft.

I enjoy writing letters on a typewriter.

It's quite intentional, and you have to be careful and deliberate.

I wanted to write a letter to my wife this way, so I made this tool since I can't keep a typewriter in my New York City apartment.

I thought it was a cathartic fun way to write.

There's also no need to because current procedures already covers this. All the aircraft would have to do is declare an emergency and they get to go and land wherever they want.
You're correct that I don't expect RFK's policies to necessarily follow his personal beliefs. He's previously mentioned being pro-choice, and this admin is against that, so he's already changed his tune there.

This is one of those issues where it feels like I’m just looking on from the sidelines in horror and puzzlement - I know there’s more to it than just choosing to eschew the toxic rat race that is performative masculinity, but it’s so hard for me to get past the thought, “why don’t they just stop being that way, and start making friends who they can open up to?”

In all honesty I could call up maybe a dozen different male friends, some of whom I’m not even that close to, or whom I haven’t know for that long, tell them, “hey I’m having a rough time, can we grab a beer and talk later?” And they’d be down. I really don’t think it’s because I’m anyone special - or because they are - even though we clearly are - I just see it as a willingness on my part to ask, as well as presenting myself as a person who it is safe to engage with on that level.

What good is being a big strong man, if you’re too weak with worry to open up about your feelings to other men? And how strong can you possibly be if your isolationist stance on platonic relationships prevents you from accessing the support of a network of potential allies? I’m all for self-sufficiency, I’m proud of the degree to which I can take care of things myself - but if anything that just makes me even more confident that when I do reach out for help, it’s not out of weakness, it’s because I’m attempting to do something that’s easier if another person is involved.

I helped a buddy install an exhaust fan for his garage the other day - maybe he could have managed it on his own, but it would have been stupidly difficult - two hands made much easier work. It seems so clear to me that you would be stupid not to treat emotional labor the same way - phone a friend, and if you don’t have one, make one, what are you waiting for??

It all seems so straight-forward to me that it’s very hard for me to muster up any sympathy for the poor straight men who can’t seem to figure it out.

The total of all federal employees salary is only 4.3% of the budget.
If you want to balance the budget using cuts you would have to make significant cuts to all of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Military. These, along with net interest, are not only the largest areas of the budget, but also the ones increasing their share of the budget.

The biggest difference between the balanced budget of the 90s and today is the two large tax cuts pass by Bush and Trump. The reason you probably don't feel that you are paying significant less is because the lion's share of these cuts went to corporations and the upper class. As evidence by the expanding wealth inequality and share of corporate taxes.
I mean it's kind of hard to not call it partisan when it starts with "Trump administration". But I may just be tired of going on reddit, X, hackernews, and seeing the exact same news articles.

What kind of accuracy have you reached with this pipeline of Tesseract+LLM? I imagine that there would be a hard limit as to what level the LLM could improve the OCR extract text from Tesseract, since its far from perfect itself.

Haven't seen many people mention it, but have just been using the PaddleOCR library on it's own and has been very good for me. Often achieving better quality/accuracy than some of the best V-LLM's, and generally much better quality than other open-source OCR models I've tried like Tesseract for example.

That being said, my use case is definitely focused primarily on digital text, so if you're working with handwritten text, take this with a grain of salt.

>Why stop funding at the university level?

Among many other reasons:

Subsidizing demand increases prices. When you subsidize university education, you increase the price of it. The metoric rise in inflation-adjusted cost of university education since the 70's or so is strong evidence of this.

If someone wants to major in feminist dance therapy, that should be on their own dime. Using my tax money to fund it is immoral.

>Why not also defund high school and middle school as well? After all, by the end of the 5th grade you should be able to read, write, and do simple arithmetic. Anything beyond that you can fund yourself, right?

I'm actually not entirely unsympathetic to drastically cutting down how much mandatory education we have for kids. There is very little (if any) correlation between the funding amount and actual results. See Abbott districts in Bew Jersey for a stark example of this.

The implication here that AI itself does not come with its own churn and needless wheel spinning feels a little out of touch with our current reality.
>How can this not be world-changing?

For one, the principal-agent problem. Who's building, running, and maintaining these agents? I doubt that these are running locally and tweaked by the user themselves. The business model is to sell these things as a service running in the cloud. That means the operator has final say on how these systems are implemented. Sure, your helpful AI agent today may remind you to pick up some soda at the store. But if the last decade+ of "enshittification" has shown, it's only a matter of time before your helpful AI agent will remind you to pick up some delicious Mountain Dew (TM) at the Piggly Wiggly (TM) and use your American Express (TM) card to earn Roblox (TM) points.

And even if we assume these agents don't eventually come to serve masters other than the end-user, the internet is already a user-hostile place. It's entirely reasonable to believe it'll be agent-hostile too, where APIs and UI designs adapt to trick AI agents with "dark patterns" to do things that aren't necessarily in their users' best interests.

Techno-utopianism might feel good, but economics and money-making will drive how these things actually play out.
Many custom build PCs had the fTPM disabled by default in the bios. It was buggy and caused performance issues on AMD systems at the time and since few people buying their own motherboards were using it, it was a pretty obvious fix for the motherboard makers.

> Many/most people hired by US government agencies in the last two years seem to be being let-go.

Could read into this a few ways. People joined who were eager to be part of tackling how the US prepares for and manages the next pandemic (which was uh, how do you say...an unpopular event with this administration), or people who may have been hired while DEI initiatives were having their moment. Both cases feel like vengeful targeting.

Regardless of which camp you're in, you can't ignore the collateral damage from this. What a very troubling time for the US.

I scheduled large one-day events where attendees were recorded performing voiceover several times during the day. As many as 350 individual recordings throughout the day, each with an acting coach, studio engineer, studio room setup, custom sets of scripts, and a demographically optimized group of attendees that would go through the day together. Because each attendees journey through the day was (somewhat) customizable by them, each new attendee would change the schedule of some other attendees. So we would have to wait until ~80% of the tickets had been purchased to begin scheduling, each new attendee was progressively harder to schedule (making it hard to keep selling tickets), and we had to also be flexible with the support staff, engineers and coaches.
That's very true and is also an area of interest. The number of possible animals that can be evolved increases substantially with more parameters, so adding more sensors/types of sensors makes the problem even more difficult. Also our animals are simple balls, where most intelligent animals have arms, legs, so on. So modeling more would definitely be interesting, too!

Tracking developer productivity has always been tricky. With the rise of AI-assisted coding, it’s even harder to separate meaningful insights from vanity metrics.

One could argue that Senators from small states are DEI hires -- since the reason Wyoming and California both get 2 senators was to ensure that small states were not otherwise disadvantaged due to their population size. Correcting inherent disadvantages in the system is the whole point of "equity".

So how about we start by purging the Senate.
To have a country worth staying in, you need an educated population. Can't get money if you don't have money. And it's especially hard if all the money you invest goes down the toilet from other countries freeloading off your investment.
It's a series of cases, from 1967's Pierson v. Ray, through Harlow v. Fitzgerald (1982) to Pearson v. Callahan (2009) that made QI so insidious. (Each of those cases was 8-1 or 9-0, incidentally. The Supreme Court gets the respect it deserves.) The current status quo where QI protects against any consequences to police brutality or monetary damages to violations of civil rights is largely a result of Pearson v. Callahan, which is what I was referring to.

> Has nothing to do with party, has a lot to do with authoritarianism and opposing destruction of the government.

Destruction of the government would be something like suspending elections or the executive using the military to disappear judges who make unfavorable rulings.

Destruction of the federal administrative state is fairly well inside the Republican platform at this point. It's what they said they were going to do and then people voted for them so now they're trying to do it.

> See former Republican Colorado head of state senate and head of state house

Parties change and then people change parties. "Former Republican opposes Republican" is the thing you'd expect them to do as implied by the word "former".

> Trying to compare laws against Jaywalking or pot to those against government malfeasance and corruption is ridiculous.

The laws against jaywalking or pot don't even scratch the surface. They're just the ones people know they're violating.

People have this problem where the law is supposed to specify ahead of time what is and isn't illegal, but doing that is hard and people also hate it when somebody is doing something they don't like but it turns out that thing isn't illegal. So what they've been doing, for a long time, is passing a lot of laws broad enough to encompass common behavior and then only enforcing them when somebody offends them, or rocks the boat.

There is also a variant of this for politicians where they pass a law that sounds good, and should be enforced against everyone, but is set up in such a way that enforcement is hard without the cooperation of insiders. So a politician is not allowed to solicit a bribe, but if someone pays them and then they pass a law that the someone likes, that's just fine, and if the bribe was solicited off-camera then neither of them have any incentive to report it because they both want the arrangement to continue. Which is how you get this:

> Trump is the most corrupt president we've ever had.

The amount of corruption in Washington is staggering. The place runs on it. The primary difference with Trump is that he has no shame.

It would be great if something was done about this, but nobody wants to throw the first stone because of all the glass houses, and targeting only Trump while ignoring all the rest of it is evidence of not liking Trump rather than not liking corruption.

> I also don't find this part necessarily bad but Trump is less opposed to spending wasteful or not wasteful then previous Republican politicians.

The true measure of this is whether government spending goes up or down during their administration, and by this measure every President of every party has been failing for generations.

But this is also the first time in a while that anything like DOGE has even been seriously attempted, and it's plausible that at least Musk wants it to actually do the thing. The real test is what they remove from the budget in a few months.
