I'm not sure it's so easy, I travel a lot, and western cities are the hardest to get any medication.

In Hawaii we were robbed with my girlfriend and went to a pharmacy and to doctor with no papers and we weren't able to refill our contraception pill (pharmacy told us to go to doctor, doctors said we need a lot of tests even though she was already taking the medication and we had police reports). Generally it's not advised to skip a day, and skipping 2 is not allowed, but doctors didn't care.

(after a lot of search we found out that Amazon online clinic is much better and even cheaper with prescriptions).

In latin america or Thailand or anywhere else in the world we could just go to a pharmacy and get what we want.

> The reason abstractions are so valuable is that they allow for compression of something into working memory.

I wonder if people with smaller working memory necessarily have more organized mental models, to facilitate the compression. People with autism [1] and ADHD [2] tend to have decreased working memory. Are their mental models more "optimized" for compression?

Great post and discussion.

Also, don't forget that your favorite AI tools can be of great help with the factors that cause us to make software: research, subject expertise, marketing, business planning, etc.
Those expenses are only unavoidable if you don't consider cutting fraudulent claims, which may have been enabled by people who are incompetent and/or working inefficiently. If you're able to cut a small but significant portion of fraudulent "pensions, medicare, social security, and all of these expenses are unavoidable and in a mandatory expenses category" by proxy from cutting the people, that represents a larger proportion of the total budget.
It's loss-making at current usage, and usage per user will exponentially grow.
I have been using LLM for a long time but these prompts ideas are fantastic; they really opened up a world for me.

Because a lot of the benefits of LLM is bringing ideas or questions I am not thinking of right now, and this really does that. Typically this would happen as I dig through a topic, not before hand. So that's a net benefit.

I also tried it and it worked a charm, the LLM did respect context and the step by step approach, poking holes in my ideas. Amazing work.

I still like writing codes and solving puzzles in my mind so I won't be doing the "execution" part. From there on, I mostly use LLM as auto complete and I'm stuck here or obscure bug solving. Otherwise, I don't get any satisfaction from programming, having learnt nothing.

>1. DeepSeek is full of propaganda/censorship (https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/01/the-questions-the-chinese...)

Your source doesn't even mention "propaganda". Moreover, while censorship is concerning is concerning, I don't see how that practically affects users. If I want to know how to center a div, who cares if it's cagey about what happened in 1989?

"Western" AI is also arguably full of "propaganda/censorship". Remember when chatgpt just came out, and conservatives were lambasting it for being "woke"?

>3. Multiple teams of security researchers found code that links DeepSeek to the Chinese government through China Mobile, who is banned from operating in the US (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/researchers-link-deepseek...)

Seems like a nothingburger?

"Neither Feroot nor the other researchers observed data transferred to China Mobile when testing logins in North America, but they could not rule out that data for some users was being transferred to the Chinese telecom."

>4. Other countries like South Korea are banning DeepSeek already over privacy concerns (https://mashable.com/article/south-korea-blocks-deepseek)

That's what this thread is about. Many commenters have mentioned why South Korea's actions were dumb.
No, the next goal is to build AI models to replace sales, marketing, middle managers, VPs and CEOs. Then we will have a complete stack called 'Corporate AI (tm)'
Yeah, you can build a rig to run full models for 10-20k... That's a big reason OpenAI might not make it. The whole article is about LLMs not being a viable business.
That's exactly why I disagree with frontend framework fanatics. Before long, something your app was using in a legitimate way is obsolete because of someone's opinion, and you have to modify your already working code if you want to get bug fixes. We are told that frameworks save time, but do they really? Web components are supposedly not good enough or too hard to write... really? Making a router and a good-enough renderer that uses template strings and passes down state in a functional way can be accomplished in a matter of hours, or a few days if you have other things to do.

The Svelte API shouldn't have changed, IMO. If you want what Runes do, then why not use React? Svelte will probably look like React in a few years, and maybe even like Backbone after that.
According to a GSA forensic audit, 18F was losing money, had billing issues, and spent too much time on non-billable activities (52% versus 48% billable). One of the partisan activities referred to was a pronoun replacing slack bot referenced in this GSA report...

https://www.gsaig.gov/sites/default/files/ipa-reports/OIG%20...

The GSA conclusion was...

1. Establish a viable plan to ensure full cost recovery of ASF funds expended by 18F.
2. Ensure that internal 18F projects have appropriate supervisory review.
3. Implement controls over 18F’s reimbursable agreement process to ensure that work is not performed outside of a fully executed agreement.
4. Ensure that GSA CIO reviews and approves, in writing, all 18F IT-related work performed for GSA internal organizations.
5. Implement a comprehensive review of 18F’s past work to ensure accuracy of all billings.
6. Establish reliable internal controls to ensure that 18F’s future billings are accurate.
7. Ensure that 18F’s billing records are retained in accordance with GSA records management standards.

I've tried renametoabin (the one mentioned by the Mesquite jailbreak Kindle Modding Wiki in the OP), BlockKindleOTA, ShutTheBackDoor, etc. all of which do more or less the same thing to attempt blocking OTA updates on the Kindle. None work to prevent the Kindle 4 from disabling the jailbreak as soon as it gets wifi access.
I bought mine last year and use them practically everyday - mostly as headphones/microphone, but taking photos/videos ocasionally too.

While I never planned to use them as a headphones, there is something surprisingly pleasant about not needing to put yet another gadget in your ears. And the sound feels more like coming from the environment and not directly emerging in your ears. Talking to ChatGPT with Advanced Voice mode or listening a podcast during a walk or bike ride or so is a really nice experience with these. Receiving calls is fun too.

Camera is really interesting to use in some unusual scenarios, like POV view of a ballet teacher or figure skating couple performing a death spiral. I give them to try to my friends when I see an opportunity to film something like that. That's really fun and sometimes illuminating.

I briefly enjoyed playing with Meta AI. One use case was "listening the podcast, encounter unknown term or name, ask "Hey Meta, explain <word> meaning", and back to listening without even lifting a finger". But then Meta disabled it in the country I'm in (I bought it in airport in another country), so only basic voice commands are working, which is fine.
How long ago did you try uv?

It just hit its 12 month birthday a few days ago and has evolved a LOT on those past 12 months. One of the problems I ran into with it was patched out within days of me first hitting it. https://simonwillison.net/2024/Nov/8/uv/
Not a big surprise. They took a big swing but it seemed pretty clear it was a big miss.

I used to get typical migraines, starting around junior year of high school. One every 6-18 months, usually, for years. Visual auras for twenty or thirty minutes, then a few hours of bad headache.

Over the years the frequency has swung toward the longer end of that, and now the last three times I haven’t gotten the headache part at all, but other weird symptoms. One time, bad tunnel vision for a while and then feeling like I had to go to sleep immediately. Another, just a weird disconnected/disembodied feeling for a couple hours. The most recent, I got fairly bad aphasia for ten or fifteen minutes, which is the fist time anything like that’s happened to me. Not just trouble thinking of words, though that too, but knowing the word I wanted to say and having something else come out instead, no matter how many times I tried.

Migraines are weird.
Alas, the pricey e-waste reaches its unsurprising end of life.

I was at Red Hat at the time. It was Oracle who ripped off Red Hat’s knowledge base content for their own knowledge base. IBM was not selling a RHEL clone at the time and had no reason to rip off the knowledge base. This was over 10 years ago.
Wind and solar power are proving very cheap and good at the margin, but it doesn't solve for the massive needs of a modern grid. Unlike plants, we do not necessarily have the option of turning society off when it's not sunny or windy.

Energy storage is far from a solved problem. Tesla produces ~40 gigawatts of storage capacity an entire year. California alone consumes ~800 gigawatts of power in a day. Even if Tesla dedicated every bit of lithium it had to building storage capacity for just one state, and demand didn't increase, it would realistically still take over a decade to keeping the lights on purely with renewables for a 24 hour period. At which point the first battery packs would be nearing the end of their service life.
A lot of that is cuda blobs, right?
The one aspect this misses that's so hard to communicate is the lack of visual processing inside the sort of curled aura "area". When I was getting them often as a kid, I would basically become illiterate over the course of 15minutes, because anything in that shimmering area was not parseable. I could SEE the shape of a letter, but I couldn't read the word. That shimmering area grows and grows till it's covering all of your vision, but near the start you can still read out of one side.

It was by far, the part of migraines I hated the most as a kid because it took intense pain that people assume you're overblowing, and prefaced it with 30-45 minutes of people thinking I was an idiot/doing some weird awkward joke. (Or having a stroke! The dread of not being able to speak correctly, not being able to read, a slow pain in my temple getting stronger and stronger, and now the teacher is calling 911 while the class starts screaming.)
In my experience, you often remember and/or discover relationships to other parts of the system during the current development task, by delving into the implementation. These relationships also aren't necessarily explicit in the code you're looking at. For example, they can relate to domain-level invariants or to shared resources, or simply shared patterns and conventions. In general you can't prepare everything that would be relevant up front.
The software is possible to replace, the deep interconnection to these softwares isn't
And they also shared how trivial it is to bypass. It is one of the most uncensored released models that you can run privately from my understanding.

These days, vendor lock-in hardly feels like a worthwhile consideration when evaluating frameworks. A near complete rewrite feels inevitable when transitioning from, say, React to Svelte.

You can afford it, it's fairly close to a neutral thing, for a government to have debt.

Musk's target can only be met by deleting your entire armed forces.

And then you have to find another $1.2 trillion.

So the military and the entire CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS, NASA, Federal Highway Administration, FAA, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Commerce, Department of Justice, the Treasury, …

… all that plus the military still doesn't add up to Musk's target.

Unless you want to cut stuff that's considered "mandatory" (like military pensions), or the interest repayments on the very loans you wish you didn't have.
You are mistaken; I never said any such thing.

Someone quoted a figure for electric car maintenance, as a downside to the technology. I remarked that this actually sounded pretty good, relative to my experience with ICE cars. Someone else observed that I could choose to buy cars with a lower maintenance cost. I agreed that this was true but explained why I prefer to do things the way I do. Then you came along with a chip on your shoulder and started griping, for reasons known only to yourself.

This is very relatable for some reason. I don't hate anyone I work with, but them being physically gone sends a wave of relief over me. Even if it's just for 15 minutes, being in an empty room with no one around really helps me focus and reduces stress.

>18F’s cumulative net loss from its launch in FY 2014 through the third quarter of FY 2016 is $31.66 million. We found that 18F’s plan to achieve full cost recovery has been unsuccessful because of inaccurate financial projections, increased staffing levels, and the amount of staff time spent on non-billable activities. 18F managers have repeatedly overestimated revenue and,
with the support of the Administrator’s office, hired more staff than revenue could support. In addition, 18F staff spent over half of their time on non-billable projects. 18F managers have recently revised their projected breakeven date from 2019 to 2020.
I use uv pip to install dependencies for any LLM software I run. I am not sure if uv re-implements the pip logic or hands over resolution to pip. But it does not change the fact that I have multiple versions of torch + multiple installations of the same version of torch in the cache.

Compare this to the way something like maven/gradle handles this and you have to wonder WTF is going on here.
Ah yes, if there was only some use for this electricity-malarkey.
Close, but it's a little different. When they were making Half-Life their code was in a 'Src' directory. Around the time HL1 released they forked the code into a `GoldSrc` directory so that they could start moving ahead with other projects in Src. Internally they used "source" and "gold source" to refer to the HL2 vs HL1 engines, and it stuck.

uv implements its own resolution logic independently of pip.

Maybe your various LLM libraries are pinning different versions of Torch?

Different Python versions each need their own separate Torch binaries as well.

At least with uv you don't end up with separate duplicate copies of PyTorch in each of the virtual environments for each of your different projects!

I wonder if this couldn't be the chance for Apple to make the definitive move towards vertical integration. If you think about it, it's the only missing part in their vertical integration story.

It would really be a sad day and the begin of truly dark era for the entire computing industry, though.

As an alternative... Amazon would probably be another interesting buyer. Amazon is another company dead serious about having their own silicon. And owning the main supplier of x86 chips as well in-house capabilities to manufacture their own Graviton chips would give them an incredible edge over other cloud computing providers.

Sorry, I pasted the wrong link for [1] (though you could have easily found it by googling "GSA Misled Customers on Login.gov’s Compliance with Digital Identity Standards"). It is here:

https://www.gsaig.gov/content/gsa-misled-customers-logingovs...

The executive summary says:
"Our evaluation found GSA misled their customer agencies when GSA failed to communicate Login.gov’s known noncompliance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-63-3, Digital Identity Guidelines. Notwithstanding GSA officials’ assertions that Login.gov met SP 800-63-3 Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) requirements, Login.gov has never included a physical or biometric comparison for its customer agencies. Further, GSA continued to mislead customer agencies even after GSA suspended efforts to meet SP 800-63-3. GSA knowingly billed IAL2 customer agencies over $10 million for services, including alleged IAL2 services that did not meet IAL2 standards. Furthermore, GSA used misleading language to secure additional funds for Login.gov."
Yeah, like come on. Amazon kills things when they're truly truly unpopular, and does everything they can to grandfather paying customers on legacy offerings.
