There's a lot of mental inertia combined with an extremely fast moving market. Google was behind in the AI race in 2023 and a good chunk of 2024. But they largely caught up with Gemini 1.5, especially the 002 release version. Now with Gemini 2 they are every bit as much of a frontier model player as OpenAI and Anthropic, and even ahead of them in a few areas. 2025 will be an interesting year for AI.
Oh yeah, as if a regular North Korean has access to sushi.
I assume this was originally played with normal decks, but the screenshots show special decks with only suits.

Doesn't this make a difference to gameplay? With normal suits, if you trade a few times, you may be able to establish that twelve distinct cards are in a suit even though you never saw more than say four of them at once

Maybe there typically isn't enough trading for this to make a difference? If there is, it does introduce an extra skill to the game of remembering the cards that have been seen before. That's valuable in lots of card games including some poker variants, but it doesn't seem like something JS would emphasize training.

If you have 12 identical decks you can turn them into 13 Figgie decks by combining all the cards of each value.

Myths from Bronze era shouldn't be taken as an argument. As ridiculous as asking Natives about Manitou and Trump.

Americans should grow up about religion. Your infamous Jeezus didn't even exist from Canada to Patagonia for centuries until the Spaniards arrived. Ditto for India, China, Australia. The Chinese did it fine. No Armageddon, no Antichrist, no bullshit. And, yet, in 70 years they developed themselves like crazy. They just wanted to get their shit done, and not by praying. By hard work and studying.

Don't try to find a Messiah. There is no doom, and thus, no saviour is needed. Just apply common sense and try to do things correctly.
Do they? Try asking copilot whether thequantuminsider.com is a credible source, and to cite references.

It currently answers with three references to thequantuminsider.com.

That's clearly not a valid answer, and if you point out that it's invalid to use a source to support its own credibility it will agree. It used to come back with three more references to thequantuminsider.com but when I tried just now it said something about looking for more information and appeared to hang. After asking how long this would take it said something like "not long". After a few more minutes I said "there aren't any credible independent sources, are there?"

At that point it agreed that there are not, but that the site is popular in the quantum computing community which lends it credibility. It then provided three links to thequantuminsider.com in support of this statement.

It just goes round and round.

Metacognition indeed.

> Multi-Environment Setup with Shared Modules

But the con of saying versioning is tricky across modules is damn near impossible to reliably manage.. especially because if I'm introducing a new variable to a shared module A) I need to also add this variable in the inputs of each of the environment.

I haven't found a way to manage multiple versions of the modules across environments if all using the same shared modules. Is it even possible?

"Cancel culture" implies a lack of proportionality, an inability to agree to disagree, an inability to compartmentalize and separate the artist from the art, and most importantly, a desire to punish through mob action.

If you discover that someone holds a very offensive belief, would your approach be to (a) reduce your personal emotional involvement with them, perhaps give a private rebuke to let them know your opinion, or (b) participate in a campaign to publicly shame them and hopefully ruin their life?
> Comparing two extremes
Jacobson and co-authors compared the annual energy costs, emissions, public health impacts, and social costs associated with implementing either of two extremes across all sectors in 149 countries over the next 25 years.

> One extreme would see a complete switch to using heat and electricity generated by wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower for all energy needs (...)

> The other extreme would see countries maintain their current reliance on fossil fuels with some renewables, nuclear, and biomass (...)

The study might be well intentioned, but since none of the two scenarios has a probability that is different from 0, its use for policy makers, investors, and voters might be very little. In reality, it will always be a mix of both approaches, not because I'm "the truth lies in the middle" kind of guy, but simply because there might be local optimizations found along the way that favor one or the other approach (or both at the same time) based on local and temporal considerations with regard to the financial, technological, political, social, ecological, and cultural conditions.

I do not disagree, there are horrible free projects with actively user-hostile documentation out there. But jellyfin is not that. Most criticism of it that I have heard falls either under a matter of taste ("I would do it differently"), a specific hardware setup not being supported or a skill issue during the installation which has more to do with administration of networks and Linux servers than with jellyfin.

And as a user of jellyfin myself I don't think these are particularly fair points of criticism.

In my opinion, the greatest achievement of ASI will be when it concludes, after careful and thorough consideration of all the evidence and laws of nature from the quantum up, that it is impossible that random evolution could be responsible for the quantity and variety of life forms in the amount of time the universe has existed. It won't know where life came from, but it'll know it wasn't natural.
Exactly. There's not much to differentiate these models (to a typical user). Like cloud service providers, this will be a race to the bottom.
How A US Fintech Giant Crushed a Promising AI Startup
New Zealand startup Montoux shut down after a lawsuit from $46B fintech giant FIS, which accused it of stealing trade secrets—claims Montoux denied. The company had gained traction as an alternative to FIS’s Prophet software, but instead of competing, FIS sued.

Filed in Delaware, the lawsuit alleged Montoux used FIS code and trained AI on proprietary data. With legal costs hitting $600K upfront, Montoux couldn't afford to fight and liquidated. This "lawfare" tactic highlights how corporations use litigation to stifle competition, raising serious questions about monopolistic practices and the barriers to innovation.
That is simply not true. A post-World War III nuclear wasteland would be subject to attack and pillaging by roving human bands, whereas a deep space colony would not be. And energy transportation being lossy is not a deal breaker when you can generate massive amounts of energy out in space. Even if you lose 90% of it, 10% of an enormous number is still an enormous number.

I think Texas is currently used for testing purposes while the main Starship launch site will be in Kennedy Space Center, Florida. It's currently being built.

Since all the other French theorists are leftists or sorta-leftists [1] I guess rightists need some obscurantism too. [2]

[1] I like the early Foucault but my take is that in Discipline and Punish he believes 'there is not alternative'

[2] French -> English is problematic. One magic decoder ring is to read English translations of Japanese popularizations. I was in Montreal once and saw an ad at a gas station for "L'Ensemble quotidien" which was a breakfast sandwich with hash brown and a coffee. Nothing high class about it, and nothing high class about those words in French. In French a punk band with a guitar, bass guitar, drums and a singer is an "Emsemble", here we would reserve that for some fancy classical music band. Quotidien is an everyday word in French, in English quotidian means 'everyday' as it does in French but it is not an everday word. Just carrying words over from French tags a text as high fallutin'.

This is something I can get behind. I don’t want to be a deadweight to a company and still expect to get paid handsomely.

But the reality is that tying visas and healthcare to jobs, and treating expats who pay taxes in the 90th percentile like unwanted immigrants, is a bad deal for everyone involved.

I do hope this gets fixed at some point—I’d love to go back. I made some great friends there. But until then, I still stand for better labor protection.
I'm pretty close to OP's age, so pretty much within what most people would called middle aged (if lucky). Sometimes I do feel like time is sort of running out, not in a dramatic mid life crisis sense, but as a realization that time's going by pretty fast now. Seeing the potential remaining time visualized like this refreshes my perspective on this a bit, and that there's still time to complete some tasks on the life bucket list.

Function pointers are possible to deal with, with varying levels of automation. You can detect when pointers to functions are taken, and tie them to call sides with type information or some manual work (I have a static analysis tool which allows function pointers for callbacks by linking functions passed into one function to the list of possible destinations for a given callsite). Recursion is harder but it's still possible in principle to prove a bound in a lot of cases, given a proof framework. Not something I'd encourage, though.

I believe many of the remaining tribes are more or less aware of the outside world and choose to keep their lifestyle.

You arent' forced to use service mesh and complex secrets management schemes. If you add them to the cluster is because you value what they offer you. It's the same thing as kubernetes itself - I'm not sure what people are complaining about, if you don't need what kubernetes offers, just don't use it.

Go back to good ol' corsync/pacemaker clusters with XML and custom scripts to migrate IPs and set up firewall rules (and if you have someone writing them for you, why don't you have people managing your k8s clusters?).

Or buy something from a cloud provider that "just works" and eventually go down in flames with their indian call centers doing their best but with limited access to engineering to understand why service X is misbehaving for you and trashing your customer's data. It's trade-offs all the way.
If so, will AI be WFH or have to be in office and attend meetings?

Oh, I didn't disagree that they're populist right, and not progressive. I just think it's so much worse than that. Or maybe I don't associate enough "weight" with "right-wing populist"?

For me it's the difference between someone who has a different opinion on the same facts, as wrong as I may find that opinion (and they mine) -- and a movement that just destroys and creates facts ad-hoc, believes what it wants, and smears and attacks anyone not aligned. It's the difference between someone who disagrees with or even fights me -- and someone who attacks me while they're basically wrestling with the voices in their head, without seeing or hearing me, at all.

In this particular case, the government positions were maintaining the US's nuclear arsenal. Not sure how "wasteful" having a nuclear deterrent is.
The point is that you can achieve a lot without being able to access every position and the human arm having a lot of degrees of freedom doesn't necessarily mean it's more capable than a different arm with fewer.

> You should check the Russian losses in WWII, compared to that, this is just a walk in the park.

Indeed, let's check them:

Battle of the Dnieper (Aug-Dec 1943): 1 200 000 killed and wounded
Dnieper-Carpathian offensive (Dec-Apr 1944): 900 000
Lvov-Sandomierz offensive (Jul-Aug 1944): 300 000

Russia has already exceeded German losses from 1941-1942 for capturing Ukraine (including Crimea). At a rate of less than 1% of territory gained for 400k+ casualties per year, Russia would exceed the total Soviet losses for all of Ukraine before even reaching the halfwaypoint at the Dnieper river. Russia hasn't even reached the hardest part yet: major urban areas like Kharkiv (pop. 1.7m) and Zaporizhzhia (840k), where the heaviest fighting could be expected, remain in Ukrainian hands.

Note the timeframe too. Both Germany and the USSR rolled through Ukraine in 12 months. In a week, the Russian war against Ukraine will enter its fourth year.

I understand there are lots of reasons to protect the tribes, but I'm really disturbed by the article as it states "Funai told locals not to discuss the incident". Why an "incident"? the situation described by the article doesn't seem at all to be an incident, but rather normal and ok

Also "Funai officials arrived soon after, and [...] he was taken to a nearby facility operated by the group", why not just let him live and go back to his people? (even though he would go back later) also the article states that they couldn't communicate right away with him, so did they force him to go with them? why so much situation for a guy who wandered around and found some people to talk to? maybe looking for some help?
In my last job we ran centralized clusters for all teams. They got X namespaces for their applications, and we made sure they could connect to the databases (handled by another team, though there were discussion of moving them onto dedicated clusters). We had basic configuration setup for them and offered "internal consultants" to help them onboard. We handled maintenance, upgrades and if needed migrations between clusters.

We did not have a cluster just for a single application (with some exceptions because those applications were incredibly massive in pod numbers) and/or had patterns that required custom handling and pre-emptive autoscaling (which we wrote code for!).

Why are so many companies running a cluster for each application? That's madness.
> This isn't the conclusion I was most hoping to reach before moving here; there's a world in which a robust safety net, paid for by such taxes, actually incentivizes entrepreneurship by cushioning the fall - but I just don't see the evidence for us living in that world, at least not here.

This seems to be the case in Sweden. Very high taxes, but a robust safety net, and a very high startup activity per capita: https://www.business-sweden.com/about-us/media/press-release...

So I'm not sure it's the taxation structures that are mainly to blame.
Kind of towards the 3d printing industry and greed in general. The RAMPS guys didn't offer a successor when they were in the perfect position to do so after having built a large diy community of RepRappers and opensource 3d-printing.

The 32-bits transition is better and cheaper on the BOM compared to the Mega2560. The speed boost is really useful when you want to add more advance control algorithm for your motors for robotics application.

Creality CR-10 quality was just better and it was the beginning of the transition away from open standards. A slow but sure erosion of what was once a great flexible community solution, where what was built by open-source is being privatized.

Chinese clones replicated CR-10 model each with their own control board. But when your machine is repairable, you can't sell it for a lot more than the sum of individual parts, so the whole economics of how much a control board that run marlin is got delirious.

This trend continue today with the emergence of companies like BambuLabs.

The whole arc makes me sad, as 3d-printing is the entry point for many makers around the world and these initial core values of really owning your hardware stack are important. For building robots, building your own 3d printer was a great introduction. Being able to replace a fried motor driver because your robot took an unexpected fall for cheap is kind of essential. If every time a part break you need to pay more than €100 and more than to 2 weeks of delivery time, you can't test and push your machines. Whereas if you are using standard parts, you'll have a stock of them, and it will be €5 and 5 minutes and you are good to go, and the mistake is forgotten, and the lesson learned.
"Better" is all in the eye if the beholder.

> Don't get me wrong we can make tools and we can experiment and be able to suppress all other animals. But a solo, "naked" human is like an office worker in world of manual labor.

Nah most of it is nurture. Raise a human in the wild and he'll be more in tune with nature. We have become alienated from the environment we evolved in and that's why you feel like a "naked office worker" on your own planet despite being the result of billions of years of adaptation.

Most humans simply ignore animals when they communicate. Both because they're ignorant and because they won't bother to listen. You can't expect an animal to talk with human words, but they talk all the time. Pets actively have conversations with us.

Plus there's this hardwired notion in our culture that humans are inherently superior to all animals but that's a very self-centered and short-sighted understanding of the world. We are more intelligent, yeah, but that's about it.
