The same in China, and many Asian countries, probably. Their solution to profit from new things is not legal gatekeeping, but rapid iteration. By the time someone gets a decision on a copyright demand, the market has long moved on. Bigger companies might get speedier treatment, though.

It is not. We bear a lot of the responsibility for creating this situation, we shouldn't be able to just turn away from it now that it ended up where it was always going to.

It depends on how much you value your free time and how much you enjoy fixing your washing machine. I spend five days working, I get two days for the weekend. The weekend days are scarcer and more valuable to me - I'm not going to give them up at the same price I give up a weekday.

Given a choice between fixing my washing machine myself and paying a repairman to fix it while I enjoy some hobby time, well up to a certain cost, I'd rather relax with a hobby.
Also, he was quote-tweeting something that referred to slashing IRS Direct File, which is probably one of the most no-brainer efficiency improvements the government could make. The main reason it's been opposed for so long is just because filing taxes for people is a big industry and they have lobbying dollars.

I don't have ire for patent trolls, they exist within the system they create. I have ire for the patent business because I've read and written a number of patent applications, and see the entire thing as mostly bogus.

Normally you can't win a lawsuit without proving damages. My overarching point is that buying IP with no intent to use it does not create damages when someone infringes it. And relicensing IP is not "using" the IP to me - you either use it, or lose it. Unless of course, you're the original author (and by author, I mean the humans, not businesses that paid them)

The point of IP laws is to protect creators and encourage development. When the resulting markets do the opposite you have to ask if the design of those laws is flawed, and I really believe that.
“This steady increase does not necessarily mean that the asteroid is actually more likely to hit Earth”

I’m struggling to understand the alleged difference between “odds increasing” and “being more likely”.

Isn’t that exactly what it means?
How exactly is that possible? Is inflation not driven by consumer spending?
Google does not offer (m)any developer facing "official" products. Google offers "official" products for consumers or enterprises (e.g., Gmail, Cloud Platform), but all of their FOSS code, of which there are many, are all "unofficial"; they are FOSS projects that happen to be developed by Google employees but come with a normal zero liability FOSS license (as opposed to their "official" products, which do come with some liability user agreements/contracts).
I actually know people who get punched regularly at their job and like it. Obviously there are boxing coaches but I also know someone who works with disabled and troubled youths (I'm not entirely clear on exactly what he does) and they all actually like their jobs. If it wasn't for low pay and potential brain trauma I would love to have a job where I get punched.

For me it's the uselessness of it that would bother me, the actual act of getting punched is neither here nor there. I mean I pay to take boxing classes and I enjoy them.
The problem is that the demagogues will just convince many people that it wasn't really their fault, that this is the fault of the previous administration and they're just trying to "clean it up". That will likely work for a while. They don't have to convince everyone, just enough people to ensure that protests can't reach a critical mass.
This will not be a Lynch movie.
SHA1 is difficult to vectorize due to a tight loop-carried dependency in the main operation. In an optimized build, I've only seen about a 15% speedup over the scalar version with x64 SSSE3 without hardware SHA1 support. Debug builds of course can benefit more from the reduction in operations since the inefficient code generation is a bigger issue there than the dependency chains. I think the performance delta is bigger for ARM64 CPUs, but it's pretty rare to not have the Crypto extension (except notably some Raspberry Pi models).

The comments in the SSE2 version are a bit odd as it references MMX, and the Pentium M and Efficeon CPUs. Those CPUs are ancient -- 2003/2004 era. The vectorized code you have also uses SSE2 and not MMX, which is important since SSE2 is double the width and has different performance characteristics from MMX. IIRC, Intel CPUs didn't start supporting SHA until ~2019 with Ice Lake, so the target for non-hardware-accelerated vectorized SHA1 for Intel CPUs would be mostly Skylake-based.
Valve just keeps on winning.

I fear the day that Gaben dies/resigns. Hopefully Valve finds a worthy successor, but it's not unheard of for a company to lose its way after the original generation is gone.
From my POV, if a business owner buys a piece of equipment that can entirely reasonably be expected to last 20 years, the timeline for ROI is on the order of 20 years. Maybe 10, maybe 15.

But I'm not insisting that this a hard and fast rule; rather, I'm suggesting that "a 5 year ROI" is also not a hard and fast rule.

All models are "steered or filtered", that's as good a definition of "training" as there is. What do you mean by "injected opinions"?
Exactly the same as me except more general health anxiety symptoms that turned into real painful symptoms. I learnt about Dr Sarno from Dan's channel on YouTube Pain Free You. So glad you found similar!
I don't know, but there are plenty of illegitimate lawsuits intended to harass or intimidate people all the time, directed at folks who aren't covered under qualified immunity. Why protect one class of people from nuisance lawsuits and not another?
The $400m cybertruck purchase was planned months ago under Biden.

Top Hacker Predictions for 2025
Toby and the team at Tobiko really are a pleasure to work with. They have strong opinions but have shown a good amount of willingness to implement features as long as there's a strong general use case. We've been working with them for almost a year now and it's really interesting seeing a early-ish open source library being developed by a start-up develops (and how much influence you can have over the direction if you work closely with the dev team).

> the successes of Tesla and SpaceX have had to come DESPITE Elon's management

Huh? Name some better leaders who run more successful EV and space companies. There aren't any! Twitter is as popular as ever, and now xAI appears to be highly competitive.

But yeah sure, Elon is the common problem among all these successes.

He does make outlandish promises and lots of mean tweets though.
Imagine if the world's engineering talent was focused on this rather than making AI to generate slop?

I've been happily using my compact very much consumer-grade drill for that all this time, with hole saws that came in a consumer grade drill bit kit.
Great write up! Roughly how many Claude tokens are you using per month with this workflow? What’s your monthly API costs?

Also what do you mean by “I really want someone to solve this problem in a way that makes coding with an LLM a multiplayer game. Not a solo hacker experience.” ?
The unshackling will be one sided. I'm sure unions will still be forced by courts to follow all the old rules it's the companies that will get to flout union votes and retaliate freely without the NLRB.
Sorry I should have been clearer--the initial rejection email did not contain feedback. I replied to the rejection back asking for feedback, and the CEO replied back with the senior engineer's precise feedback.

Otherwise, the test and first response you received was identical to mine.

FWIW I've never received feedback directly from a rejection email. I've always had to reply back and ask.
Typically building housing is illegal without tons of difficult to impossible permits.

That makes it very far from a free market, even if the preexisting housing units are distributed on a fairly free market to the growing population.
There are some infrared masks which gently warm the eyelids to "melt" the meibomian oil in the eyes, which improves lubrication and can really help with dry eyes and associated fatigue. No clue about their wavelengths, but those are generally pretty cheap.
Would be fun if some could hack those os'es indeed.

It could make a nice CrowdSupply project, except for the cheap distribution of the huge packages. Sounds not that hard though: Just get some nice 50" 4k smart tv's and remove all the junk. Cool features like DP daisy chain or something and one could have a nice project. But i'm guessing there is (too) much money to be made in user info and ads. :(
Prove that you possess "theory of mind."
Hard to understand their stance on keeping Source closed. It is not an exciting engine to work with in any way. There are at least 3 major open source alternatives today, way more powerful and easier to work with (O3DE, Godot, Wicked). Only people that have been involved with Source in the past decades would enjoy working with it.

The community around the engine is vibrant and well-versed in the caveats of the Source workflow. With a GPL release, just like Carmack did with id tech, the amount of creative projects from indies would sky rocket. No longer bound by obscure deals.
Maybe that's where a project like Nuclide could step in? I'm always a bit confused between their projects' names, but I've read somewhere they had progress on the HL2 front.
See: https://gwern.net/dnb-faq#n-back-improves-working-memory and https://brainscale.net/
Well yes, but i guess either big monitors use different panels or there's some shady business going on.
I like and agree with something you've touched on here. I think the downvotes are perhaps because you're not putting an end cap onto this idea here. And I think that end cap is: the feedback a company gets when it dogfoods its own product is *not* guaranteed to be similar to the feedback it gets from customers.

The implicit assumption with dogfooding is that more feedback is better, even if that feedback is artificially constructed.

I think the idea here is that foisting one's product onto one's own workers is likely to incur a bunch of additional biases and preferences in feedback. Paying customers presumably use the product because they need it. Dogfooding workers use the product because they are told to do so.
Off-topic: this is genuinely cool, along with many things Valve do, but Valve does generate a significant amount from gambling (and underaged gambling) so I won't give a complete pass to being a great company.
And of course the Sydney Ice Berg https://hoaxes.org/af_database/permalink/the_sydney_iceberg
Many thanks for your detailed input. For your concrete example, existing solutions employ FEM. My understanding of your point is that a NN abstracts away the meshing rules and learns the correct resolution in the areas of interest? I could see how this could be beneficial for quick solutions before a full blown solver.

If my above understanding is correct, than the following question is, why not use a NN to generate meshes directly? Let the classical solvers do what they do best: solve. Let NN do what they do best: take care of messy reality of geometry. This approach would actually give provable error bounds on the solution. I understand there are existing works on NN mesh generation, but I do not know any work that proves error bounds or has been incorporated into mainstream engineering software. Any hints?

(Thanks for this fascinating discussion.)

He's saying that he used to just view the pain of migraines as a disability, but now realizes that there are other components to migraines besides pain that cause disability (such as brain fog, emotional instability, blindness, etc)
Agreed. The company I work for has fought off two "ADA trolls" in the past ~3 years. I'm fully behind accessibility, and we design/develop our website specifically to conform with best-practice; I get, and generally accept, that civil remedies are (currently) the only way to enforce any kind of compliance. I nevertheless call the lawyers targeting us trolls, because their technical analysis was beyond incompetent, and their understanding of accessibility issues woefully out of date. It cost a few days of my + developer time, and I don't know how much lawyer-time, to make them go away.

We (I'm in the US) badly need clarifying regulation. Until then, compliance will mainly be about preventing yourself from being low-hanging fruit for opportunistic litigation - which, to be clear, can generate productive results, but is clearly inefficient.

Why do I need a big screen? The models mostly all have voice interfaces now. I shouldn't be sitting there reading and typing text input or output while driving anyways... What are you actually imagining doing with these models in the car? I still haven't heard what use they are.
I think more a temporary suspension while Trump is in control. Apparently most US politicians of both parties are pretty horrified but the Trump/Musk/Vance lot seem to not be in line with the ideals of NATO and leaning a little fascist.
I do enjoy sharing this kind of news with all the fusion haters online. Fusion tech is legitimately cracking away on their "perpetually X-years away" stigma. That perpetual barrier can very reasonably be viewed as a normal technology barrier now.
Then they won't sell to me. My car is 18 years old, but I wfh and don't drive much. If my car died and dealers didn't want to play ball, I could easily manage. There are lots of options these days. I could buy something private party, swap a lease, or even just rent a car and take transit
I believe you are mistaken about the timeline and details here. The $400m Tesla procurement was initiated under Biden. Trump actually cancelled it.
Does the commercial viability change when one considers regulatory constraints on building new fission plants? People may be more inclined to allow fusion reactors than fission reactors, since the former doesn't require uranium. (I'm sure there are dangerous failure modes for fusion, like there are for everything else, but Chernobyl continues to haunt the nuclear industry in the popular imagination.)
Yes they prevent acid but that's masking the root symptom (not enough and not low enough PH to stimulate closure of the LES). Not having enough might seem like it fixes it in the short term, but it causes knock-on effects that mean your food isn't being digested properly and you're more prone to bad bacteria making it's way to the small intestine. Once it gets there, it's very hard to get rid of so be careful on PPIs!
Nice, I coincidentally wrote a blog post today exploring workflows as well: https://ggulati.wordpress.com/2025/02/17/cursorai-for-fronte...

What is Nuclide? I've found https://github.com/VeraVisions/nuclide and https://github.com/eukara/freehl.
I think one of the reasons it is hard to use, is that support is almost, but not quite there.

What I did not have time to write-up is the bootload of vendor-specific bugs, that are also firmware version dependent. Those are often easy-enough to work around once you know them, but very hard to figure out what is going on.

I've encountered:
- AppleTV creating incorrect TCP checksums for packets of youtube/netflix apps, when using 464xlat with a custom prefix. Happens on cable, does not happen on wifi.
- MikroTik not sending out RAs with 0 lifetime.
- Android VoIP not accepting fragmented IPv6 packets when using 464xlat.
- LG WebOS TV supporting dhcp option 108 over cable, not supporting over wifi.
- Unifi Multicast enhancements filtering out solicited IPv6 RA-s, but letting through unsolicited RA-s.

And there are also vendor specific non-bugs, like to enable xlat, Android wants ipv6-mapped ipv4 on the domain ipv4only.arpa, whereas iOS wants the prefix in the RA.

And don't even get me started on random Matter devices which think that it's fine for them to just start advertising an ipv6 prefix without any configurability.
My understanding as well is that fusion could take care of base load, but it can't be scaled up or down based on grid demand to the same degree that fission reactors can. So fusion and renewables alone would not be capable of a carbon-free future grid.
Yet they still demand we take them with utmost seriousness...
Qft. USDS/18F was the correct answer to "Many US government departments have similar needs, but insufficient IT expertise (or authority) to deliver well."

To which the obvious solution was to create a center of excellence for those skills, then offer them across the government. Most critically, including paved roads of the "right" way to do things (but which no individual agency was willing to fight to get approved).

PS: Fuck DOGE/Elon for having enough hubris so as to think they can do better. Although my guess is Hanlon's razor, with addendum, applies.

>> Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. (or ego)

To repeat my previous framing of this: it's easy to sell younger technologists on a two step plan to make things better. (1) Destroy the old (2) Build the new. Unfortunately, they don't yet understand the latter is orders of magnitude more difficult than the former.

That's the opinion of the idealists at Signal.

But Signal already made some compromises for convenience over privacy, such as the use of phone numbers and contact discovery. It can be a pretty insidious problem because it becomes possible to check if the owner of a phone number is a Signal user. Imagine you had an abusive relationship, you broke up, you blocked the other's number, and you go on with your life. You have each others in your contact lists, on your side, that's for blocking purposes. A few months later, you install Signal, the other did too, Signal then puts you in contact with the person you really don't want to get in contact with...

Sure, Signal does it securely, but it doesn't solve the problem. It is possible to prevent it now by choosing the right options, but the problem is not obvious at all and you are very likely to fall for it if you are in this situation.

The conflict between discovery and privacy is one that Signal acknowledges, but their default choice is not "maximum security", it is a compromise. SMS support is also a compromise, but I believe that it is actually a lesser compromise, because the UI makes it very obvious that your message won't be secure if you send a SMS.

WhatsApp doesn't need to make the SMS compromise because they already have a well-established network, Signal doesn't have the luxury.
That doesn't explain the auras.

I pretty sure you'll soon get reply about how making it open source will increase cheating. So for those people it's important to know that Source engine source code was leaked many many times and anyone who will spend 5 minutes will find sources.
If anyone is suffering from chronic pain that is referred pain from the neck and shoulders, are you sleeping on a memory foam mattress?

I "upgraded" to a Casper mattress in 2019 and it took 5 years of debilitating referred pain and headaches, and attempted resolutions including a 12-level spinal fusion, to realize that the mattress was the cause.

Switched back to a more traditional spring mattress and the pain faded within about 3 weeks.

Easily the worst and most trying experience of my life which will have lasting effects on the remainder of my life - never in a million years would I have expected that the mattress was the cause.
The fact that they did this before bothering to recompile it for 64-bit Mac says a lot—Valve clearly doesn’t see Apple as a friendly place to do business. Makes sense, with Apple trying to lock game devs into the App Store.
It's quite possible that there's a real effect here. But while I've only had time to skim parts of the paper, I don't see any indication of whether the authors have accounted for the different norms in different fields when analyzing their data for potentially fraudulent or deceptive behavior.

Just for example, physics papers produced by large international collaborations (e.g. every single paper from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN) routinely have hundreds of authors (e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2015.17567): everyone who has made substantial contributions to the design and operation of the facility is listed, as is everyone on the data analysis teams. (My understanding is that people in those specific fields all recognize that "number of citations" is a mostly meaningless number for those involved, and other metrics for productivity are well-known in those communities and routinely used.) I hear that some genomics papers have broken 1000 authors as well.

I could easily imagine that the high end of observed publication numbers and coauthor counts would be dominated by those giant collaborations, even though there is absolutely no attempt to mislead anyone in the process. Can anyone tell from this article to what degree its conclusions might be influenced by this factor?
