Unless closed models have significant advantage AI inference will be a commodity business - like server hosting.

I'm not sure that closed models will maintain an advantage.
As someone who transitioned from JS to native apps before Node hit 1.0, unexpected behavior with closure callbacks make it sound more like JavaScript to me.
Doge disrupts everything except for spending: https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2025/02/12/e...

stop falling for branding and actually concentrate on the numbers: spending is going up, not down, and only touching entitlement programs, the military, or offsetting monetary loosening (via debt interest) will change that.

Is there a name for the genre of writing that gets so, so close to magical realism without actually incorporating literal magic? Because this story is the epitome of it.
And with skin sales. Remember that Valve charges a Tax on every item sale. Every time you sell an Item like a skin on the steam market, valve takes a cut. If they crackdown on the gambling it will impact their bottom line.

As you say, Valve does not directly promote gambling products. They are not like EA with their predatory Fifa super team.

Still a lot of people, including journalists, find that they could do more to protect against underage gambling.

Yes because you judge people by the country they live in. AdGuard has made their stance clear if something like this is important to you: https://www.reddit.com/r/Adguard/comments/t15gr4/announcemen... & https://adguard.com/en/blog/official-response-to-setapp.html

i haven't seen 'itt' used since i read the somethingawful forums regularly more than 20 years ago
Woah... woah WOAH I wasn't expecting to see this on HN. I've been expecting this for a long time, and if I was valve I would have done something like this a long time ago: release a "final" celebratory content update, port the game to vulkan, and open source the codebase (keeping the item servers and whatnot tied to valve's servers). I don't know if this is the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning of TF2. There have been leaks before but this is huge news.

This is something I didn't cover in my post, but I feel that's a bug, not a feature. Using runes instead of stores (which did the same thing in svelte 4) implicates the svelte compiler in every source file. This is ok if you're married to svelte, but it makes vendor lock-in even more rigid, since you would have to refactor all your regular utilities too when moving to a new framework.
> Underage gambling in the sense of spending real money to redeem things that may be impossible to redeem without spending it?

Critically, Valve allows you to trade items. This results in a couple of downstream effects:

1. Items have real-world value because they can be traded for money outside of Steam. Multiple sites exist for people to convert items into real-world money (certain rare items have been sold for >$1m [0]).

2. As these items have value, they can serve as a surrogate for money in casinos, or for sports betting.

3. This can even lead to money laundering [1].

As such, skins should be considered money, but the sites running these services don't. Therefore, it is trivial for a child to walk into a game store, buy Steam credit, use that credit to buy skins, and then spend that money on literal gambling (as very few sites have KYC). I know because I've actively partaken in it as a child. Even cryptocurrency is harder: most legitimate exchanges attempt to do identity validation.

TVs usually have lower requirements regarding frame rate and latency compared to computer monitors. That's probably also a factor.

Thanks for this through explanation!

I'm asking because I have a web server that uses dynamic subdomains for sandboxing websites and I'm thinking about letting it run as onion service. However, the server needs to know the domain it's hosted on, which would be an .onion domain.
It’s a start for sure, a TV that’s really out to track you might well be able to circumvent these blocks, but most TVs (and indeed most tracking technologies on the web) to my understanding are not so sophisticated. For the average person who wants to enjoy some of the smart features of their TV this is a good compromise.

And I’m not sure what you mean by the router being the better place to add guardrails. What sort of guardrails can you possibly add outside of blocking internet access outright to the TV? It would be near impossible to distinguish between legitimate traffic and ad/tracking traffic without resorting to something like SNI sniffing which again can be bypassed.
I actually didn't know this. Thanks!
> Not to challenge the notion of tax but to seek an answer: what would be a better solution to the deindustrialization of the US then?

You can simply nationalize manufacturing in critical industries. If you're not willing to go that far then throw incentives at failing industries to compensate for the higher cost of labor, so they can still compete on US soil.

This was Biden's philosophy with, say, Intel.

The benefit of nationalization (or at least subsidies) is that it doesn't need to pass the tax on to the consumers, and you can pay for it with a tax on oher things (e.g. billionaires) instead.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I've got a semi-obscure DNS question.

I'd like to use Cloudflare's Zero Trust DNS filtering with DoH by running a DNS proxy on my network.

I can get this to work great with github.com/adguardTeam/dnsproxy (running on a Pi 4B) but what I would really like is to have different devices (based on their IP on the network) get their queries forwarded onto a different DoH upstream.

Is this possible in a simple way?
The 980 did come with CUDA cores, it was not only a raster card. CUDA popularity back then pales in comparison to what it is today, but even the 9XX-series cards commit to a clear GPGPU capability.
Will you go on the record and say that $4.7T in a year is fraudulent or misspent? I want to be crystal clear with what you're insinuating, because that's a massive amount of money, easily the biggest fraud of all time by a factor of almost 30.

I have an M2 Max with 64Gb of ram. It handles everything I throw at it. Runs the 30ish gigabyte deepseek model fine. I will admit for gaming I pretty much just stick to Cyberpunk 2077, Minecraft, Stray, Viscera Cleanup Simulator and old games with open source engine options. I'm happy I can play Cyberpunk with my screen on full brightness using 30w, compared to my Xeon windows machine taking 250w for lower frame rates.
Not a lawyer, but by resigning voluntarily, you basically relinquish all options regarding keeping the job that you would otherwise have had. You can’t later invoke that you didn’t really mean to resign.

It’s also often more advantageous to wait to be let go in order to collect severance pay. (Though likely not for the OP due to his probationary status, and there is also a big question mark regarding pay for the current government layoffs.)
By that token, we might label all Israeli "citizens" as combatants due to their mandatory conscription law.

The big benefit of running a DNS server locally is caching. Using any external provider means you have to go out to the internet for every single request.

With a local server, most requests are fulfilled from the local cache.
> We started using it when Jack who founded Twitter, started bluesky, promoted nostr started using it

Jack Dorsey is certifiably insane. His obsession with cryptocurrency is a warning to anyone that throws away success to live as a crypto maxi. You will lose the only things that matter to you in life, your business will be taken away from you by shareholders if you own one. Your control will be hated by users that accuse you of trying to ruin the internet with NFT profile pictures and crypto tickers. Many users outright left as a consequence, others would leave after the takeover. But Dorsey set the stage for the enshittification of Twitter, and anyone that's forgotten that should face the music.

Web5, no matter who utters it, is a phrase that means nothing. A person walking on the street would not be able to define it for you. Me, a programmer, cannot define it for you or even explain what it looks like. It is a marketing term as applied to Free Software, which will alienate Free Software users and disgust/confuse common people. If you cannot find a better phrase to describe your philosophy then people will forever associate you with the myriad grifters that shared your "Web(n)" branding.
There was this joke about rich Russians that I heard maybe 25 years ago.

Two rich Russian guys meet and one brags about his new necktie. "Look at this, I paid $500 for it." The other rich Russian guy replies: "Well, that is quite nice, but you have to take better care of your money. I have seen that same necktie just yesterday in another shop for $1000."
No, the people who talked about Elon Musk for 12+ years are continuing to talk about Elon Musk. Just because you don't like the stories doesn't mean people will stop posting about him.
This might be one of the most beautiful, terrifying, and accurate takes on modern corporate life that I've read. I typically don't read things that are long-form if it's not in a physical book, but I found I couldn't stop even though I felt existential dread the entire time. This almost directly replicated some of my life experiences in my career, and I have the GERD (mis)diagnosis to show for it.

Tesla is loing steam as other nations start linking Musk with the fascist threat looming over the US.

SpaceX, like all his successful ventures, are carried by exceptional talent. Attributing it to Musk is an insult to them.

Paraphrasing lines not to cross:

1. Working remotely

2. Killing or surveilling people

3. Discussing work with someone outside work

Fair point! I don't suppose Windows allows pulse audio style routing of audio streams to use denoising on a fake microphone.
Yeah the 3M over-ear hearing protection is great. Also you don't necessarily need thread sealing tape. Thread sealing tape is for threaded fittings like FIP/MIP where the threads provide the seal directly. Washer hoses use compression fittings and so you're better off putting a little plumbing grease on the gasket but otherwise you don't need thread seal for that type of fitting.
It's deceitful suppression. When Elon does bad things people want to hide it. Even a year ago this want an issue.

The only thing I'm concerned about is it'd be another locked down platform, like Oculus / Quest already is, only now much more disruptive just like Apple's and Google's (to a smaller extent). I want something more like Windows Mixed Reality or Steam VR to succeed more.

Timing belt is a 10 year maintenance item. ~1000 dollars mostly labor

Waterpump is replaced at the same time as the timing belt, and they rarely fail now a days. ~ 300 bucks for one as added part during the timing belt labor

I assume you are talking about brake pads as calipers rarely fail, 5-7 year maintenance interval, easy DIY job ~500 for a set of 4.

Starter motors also very rarely fail I've had the same one for 20 years in my rx8 hpde toy. Even still they are ~200 bucks and literally 2 bolts and 30 minutes of time.

We havent even hit 2000 dollars yet in critical maintenance over 10 years. If you actually knew anything about wrenching you wouldn't be saying newer cars are easier and cheaper to work on either. I dont know how you are doing 1000/ year on maintenance on an ICE but then again you presumably offroad " jeeping " which would make your experience an outlier on what commuter cars actually experience for yearly maintenance.
Perhaps a relic of the days of manufactured coal-based gas that they kept because there was already so much infrastructure. Out of curiosity I’ve been trying to see if the local steam utility offers new supply connections but I don’t see anything.

You campaign for other congresspeople and try and get them thrown out. Congressional representatives are very receptive to constituent calls.

People say you are paying for the convenience of fast charging.

But that isn't all the picture. (in california)

PG&E has honed its regulatory capture skills and has some of the highest electricity costs anywhere.

The average cost of electricity is 33c/kwh for california customers, and as you use more it can easily reach 50c/kwh. There are some areas where PG&E is not the electric company, and they top out at 14c/kwh for electricity.

The ONLY good part I can contrive from this situation is that residential solar is "practical" and the demand is driving development of democratized power generation.
You have to be careful with that, start giving out hair cutting licenses with reckless abandon a ton of innocent people could dye.
b) can get dicey, depending on how hard the 3rd party in question wants to defend their copyrights. Google v. Oracle was resolved on the basis of being transformative, not on the basis of class and function declarations being too insignificant to copyright. So if you can't even keep the 3rd-party headers, you're left with a bunch of function calls that you have to piece together the meaning of.
I have been a migraineur for decades. Mine are classic aura, with the whole "looking through broken glass" thing for a half hour or so when they happen. This year one of my partner's doctors mentioned positive results from supplementing with Vitamin B-2 and Coenzyme Q10, and it has dramatcially lowered their frequency. Mine are especially bad when the air pressure is seesawing which it does a lot here in the spring and fall, but I would guess I'm down to something like 20% of the previous years numbers.

Definitely worth trying.

Most likely you'd get stuck on a local maximum. Or rather, you couldn't prove you weren't stuck on a local maximum. It's still very cool, though. Lisp is a preferred language for this because of the whole code-as-data thing.
FWIW, even if the US succeeds in abolishing USAID that will only allow more harmful analogues like the IMF to step in. The diplomatic grease oftentimes exists to prevent diplomatic chafing. Wipe that away and you're left with a whole lot of pain and bleeding.

When America pulls the vig from countries that need it, they don't turn around and correct their course. We've been trying to strongarm Pakistan to do the right thing for 4 decades now, and all we've gotten in return is an accelerated nuclear focus and an experimental ICBM program. If we let these "sins of the father" situations fester, then they turn around to China or Russia for help instead. American leadership simply doesn't realize the value of globalism right now.
As a secondary effect it kind of is; the general assumption still is that the slop-generating AI will need a lot of power to train, so there is surprisingly a lot more private investment into fusion and fission innovation in recent years.

I use it daily for all sorts of things, but one of the most interesting uses for me so far has been self-reflection.

For example, in the beginning of this year, I completed this exercise where I wrote a lot about childhood, past experiences, strengths and weaknesses, goals and ambitions for the future, etc (https://selfauthoring.com) and then I uploaded all that to ChatGPT, asked it to be my therapist/coach, and then asked it to produce reports about myself, action plans, strategies, etc. Super interesting and useful.

By now ChatGPT has quite a bit of context from past conversations. Just the other day I used this prompt from someone else and got back super useful insights – "Can you share some extremely deep and profound insights about my psyche and mind that I would not otherwise be able to identify or see as well as some that I may not want to hear"

Conveniently, there's no mention of the 0.1% in there, and the historical data comparing the tax contribution of the top 1% to the total tax base doesn't include any information on income and wealth growth of the 1% over that same time period. Weird!

It’s only going to get cheaper over time. It’s already cheap enough that if these services disappeared overnight I’d switch to an open source alternative with a local model.

In my experience Pi hole is a very worthwhile investment. People who used my internet when I had one would remark how much faster it was. Everything in general seems faster, even things that you wouldn't think of. I typically use Brave for browsing which has good ad blocking capabilities, but this adds a whole additional layer.

The only reason I don't use one now is that I travel a lot more so it's irrelevant, and I have to work enough on tools with Google/Vercel/other analytics that it is just very inconvenient.

Regarding smart TVs, I have found that it's better to just use an Apple TV or Kodi box and never connect to them internet though. Having said, I gave my TV away because I never used it, so this might not be as up to date. A Pi hole will block ads on smart TVs though.

Wondering if this is so Valve doesn't have to keep updating TF2. It's a 17 year old game and the last real update was Jungle Inferno in 2017. I wonder if it's going to turn into more of a community maintained "sandbox" game.
