That's what OP was implying. Energy (..and its derivative global warming ) is just infrastructure and finance problem now onwards.

is particularly insane. How can there be any negociation when one side is either blatantly lying or completely deluded? The fact that it is even considered a serious position to take for a major trading power is nuts.

No amount of sanding off DEI edges is going to matter if the US disregard truth and just want to inflict pain until the other side caves.

They feed them shit and treat them like shit. For most people [that I know] the whole point of doing this at home is to do things differently.

Check your local regulations. Keeping roosters (adult male chickens) in many city areas is actually illegal; i.e. against the byelaws. It is considered antisocial because of the noise that they make and the early hours when they make it. i.e. literally "at cockcrow"
That phrase always felt more like a gym bro mantra
I guess you're not a big fan of rubber duck debugging then? Whenever I get stuck I like to ask myself a bunch of questions and thought experiments to get a better understanding of the problem/project, and with LLMs I'm forced to spell out each one of these questions/experiments coherently, which ends up being great documentation later on. I think LLMs are great if you're actually interested in the fundamentals of your problem/project, otherwise it just turns into a sinkhole that sucks you in.
Immediately succeeded by “, including but not limited to the issuance of regulations, guidance, and positions advanced in litigation, unless authorized to do so by the President or in writing by the Attorney General.”

… and preceded by “The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch”

Nothing in that says anything about countermanding a judicial ruling. If anything, it says that the President should set the strategy during litigation rather than one federal case making one argument while another makes a contradictory argument in reference to the same law.
It was, once.

Nowadays (for about 12 years already I think) there is nothing much stackless about it.

The concept was nice. Stackless and greenlets.. yess. But the way they rewrote C stack just killed caches. Even a naive reimplementation just using separate mmapped stacks and wrapping the whole coro concept under then-Python's threading module instantly gained like 100x speedup on context switch loads like serving small stuff over HTTP.

Edit: Though at this point it didn't much differ from ye olde FreeBSD N:M pthread implementation. Which ended badly if anyone can remember.
Ah, I see. The problem is that banks can't really invest their reserve holdings because they need them to balance the deposit. The best they can do is shuffle it around the vertical circuit, that is, they can buy government bonds. They could also take a deposit at another bank (indeed, the whole system can run on that basis without reserves), but that would be strictly on less beneficial terms than a deposit at the central bank (because the corresponding bank would need to balance the deposit made to _it_). The mainstream idea is that swapping a fixed price floating interest financial asset (reserves) for a floating price fixed interest financial asset (bonds) somehow locks it up, but that's just wishful thinking.

I'm not sure if in your final point your implying something about the quantity theory of money, which is something I reject (flows being the important measure). Perhaps you can clarify what you mean by destroying the value creation? Is this a statement about closed economies being less valuable than open ones?
Perhaps he wants the budget reallocated to something he has more financial interest in and control over? Or something like that for Thiel or others?
Good point. I didn't imagine a lot of egg imports happened.

People tend to preference their bias because they cannot execute more objectively and then frame that against a collection of logical fallacies and other nonsense as justifications and equivocations.

The inability to measure things results in a lot of really bad output often in preference for emotional comfort. This and cognitive conservatism are the most clearly identifiable criteria of poor cognitive performance by people who are in over their heads. I saw this at every employer when I wrote JavaScript for a living.

The inability to form assertion criteria means a person has absolutely no idea how to qualify a decision logically.

In most of these people tend to do Y at much greater cost because they cannot do X. The most common answer to this is anxiety and then people twist themselves into knots to somehow qualify that anxiety in a way that makes sense to themselves.

They'll work their way up to anti-constitutional attacks on everything else if they get a chance, USAID is their starting point because it's a softer target in a few ways:

1. The people who'll suffer or die from their mal-management will generally be faraway foreigners, as opposed to people voters know.

2. More of the victims have a much more difficult time launching any kind of lawsuit in US courts.

3. It has a small veneer of Presidential-involvement-ness due to its proximity to diplomacy and foreign relations.

4. Like tariffs, being able to withhold aid allows Trump to commit extortion against other countries, much like how he was impeached for extorting Ukraine in his first term.
USAID is the facilitator for Starlink in Ukraine. Based on the garbage coming out of Trump about Zelensky in the last couple of days and Russia’s positive comments regarding the “USAID meddling machine” I suspect they got orders from the boss.

Turning API Docs into a Data Chatbot
Hi SaaS Owners!

We are building a tool that helps SaaS companies convert their Dashboard API into a data chatbot, allowing customers to chat with their data. We created this after noticing how frustrated end-users become when trying to navigate through analytics and reports pages in SaaS products.

Many "Chat with Your Data" solutions already exist that use AI to write code and run database queries. However, these solutions have several drawbacks:

- Rely on AI-generated code and forget about business logics
- It has read access to your database (sounds scary)
- Pretty much done if the schema is large (> 10 tables)
- No support for multi-tenancy! (User data in the same table)

We want to do it in a different way:

- All you need to do is to upload a documentation, e.g. OpenAPI Specification (OAS)
- We add an AI agent layer on top of your data endpoints
- We provide a chatbot that integrates with just one line of code

What it will do:

- Provide a friendly and intuitive UX for your customer to explore their data
- Transform data questions into clear visualizations with AI-driven insights
- Make sure multi-tenancy control is there
- Easy embedding into your website or application

If you are interested, please join our [waitlist](https://main.d2adptrimvrflz.amplifyapp.com/) to be among the first to try it out!

Let's not be overly dramatic. Charlatans are already lying, and they can easily switch verbiage.

If you can suggest a pithy replacement terminology for "what we really mean" here, I'm sure we'll all adopt it whole-heartedly. Until then, people are going to use the same (easily deciphered) shorthand. Tilting at this particular windmill doesn't actually improve anything or protect anybody.
To get the rough idea how things work, you can watch the Karpathy's series on YouTube. To get the actual understanding how things work, you will have to read through the papers. You probably want both. Finally, to really understand how it works then there's no better way than implementing an inference engine yourself. All other material I also found to be superficial and not satisfactory ... too much information at the hand-waving level.

> I think this is commonly accepted now (maybe?), but tendons, ligaments, and cartilage don't heal well without movement to increase fluid exchange.

It's getting better. RICE protocol after a sprain is still too unknown to/overlooked by many physicians, although I'd rate it to 50-80% these days.

Many would recommend a 4-6 week rest after an ankle sprain, with a prescription of 10 sessions at a physiotherapist 2 weeks in, and crutches til then.

Luckily physiotherapists are better trained and usually tell you to come yesterday, start with massaging to reduce the swelling and promote lymphatic and blood flow, and movements to break down scar tissue as it forms, and walk as much as you can, with crutches not as walking aids but as "seatbelts" so that you have something to immediately lean on instead of the injured foot should you trip over.

Once tissue has healed enough the next step is relearning and recovering strength and movement (general motion, hence why in french physiotherapist is "kinésithérapeute" from greek kinesis a.k.a motion) towards normal levels. Problem is halfway through the allotted 10 sessions are up :/ so you're either down for a trip back to the physician and convince them you need more or you're on your own.
USAID was funding the StarLink deployment in Ukraine and was reexamining the deal[1], likely to try to negotiate a cheaper plan or to reduce the funding. My opinion is that it likely hit his ego a bit and it was a really sweet deal for StarLink, so losing out on it would suck.

None of the Plan9 HTTP servers I tried was particularly scalable—although you could build your own in Go and it would run OK.
The bitter lesson is about the fact that general methods that leverage computation are ultimately the most effective. Grok 3 is not more general than DeepSeek or OpenAI models so mentioning the bitter lesson here doesn't make much sense, it's just the scaling law.

Most of the times, videocalls sound too... stuffy for me. There's something off about the frequencies, I'm not sure if that's some kind of tight windowing and aggressive compression, or noise cancelling eating into signal, or both, but it's missing the high-order terms, so to speak.

very good question, now we are mainly focusing on building the foundtion for multimodal perception and atomic action taking. Of course, integrating the trace-of-mark prediction for robotics and human video data enhances the model's medium length reasoning but this is not sufficient for sure.

How bitter is the bitter lesson when throwing more compute js costing billions. Maybe the bitter lesson is more about money now than the hardware. You are scaling up investments not just relying on moores law. But I think there is a path for the less power consuming models that people can run affordably without VC money.

>What's Elon's beef with USAID?

They were investigating Starlink:

Gives a very different meaning to eating your words.
Did they? Deepseek spent about 17 months achieving SOTA results with a significantly smaller budget. While xAI's model isn't a substantial leap beyond Deepseek R1, it utilizes 100 times more compute.

If you had $3 billion,
xAI would choose to invest $2.5 billion in GPUs and $0.5 billion in talent.
Deepseek, would invest $1 billion in GPUs and $2 billion in talent.

I would argue that the latter approach (Deepseek's) is more scalable. It's extremely difficult to increase compute by 100 times, but with sufficient investment in talent, achieving a 10x increase in compute is more feasible.
Weird. Any good suggestions for further reading on this stuff or is it mostly still academic literature level?
Much of the rise in prices has occurred in January and February. Seems likely to me that culling has continued due to bird flu and production has dropped.

I would also guess that demand is fairly constant for eggs, so large changes in price are needed to deter a small number of consumers from buying (low elasticity of demand).

"rebuilding" a laying flock is a fairly quick change, if the infrastructure is already there.
> We’re neither creating nor destroying them for the purpose of doing an LLM equivalent task

Sure, so drop the training costs on both sides.

Imagine company sends you on a business trip to a different country, for a month-long stay. Okay, you exist and have to eat and sleep anyway, but I can't imagine you accepting this as an argument from your employer - "we don't need to reimburse your hotel or food or other expenses, after all, we're neither creating nor destroying you for purpose of this assignment, and you'll be eating and sleeping and bathing anyway".

Scented markers, as well as pencils, are still a thing.

You can also get scented paper, but it seems mostly thicker paper meant as drawer liners.
If you build a pen out of anything other than otherwise garbage materials and a small roll of the cheapest fence, you are going to be spending even more money.

Also whats with people buying like a dozen chickens? Do you eat an entire dozen eggs every single day? No? Then you don't need a dozen chickens. 2 chickens will often result in people giving away tons of eggs because they have too many. Maybe a few years down the line when they lay a few less eggs you can add another one or two. If you don't eat 90%+ of their eggs, you will once again be losing money.

Also unless they are free roaming over a very large area, you do not want any roosters. Roosters in a small coop and/or yard often get aggressive and they will attack you. Yes you can cow them down if you are quick enough to grab them, sometimes mid-attack, but most people aren't because they don't want to get stabbed with their spurs. Also buying sexed chicks are not a 100% guarantee you won't get a rooster, ive gotten multiple roosters out of sexed chickens and often the only right choice is to kill them because you don't want a bunch of roosters fighting either each other or attacking people.
In general from a formal logic perspective the whole idea of “an exception that proves the rule” is flawed. If the statement was “an exception that disproves the rule”, then I would agree.
It looks like the USA is bringing all technology in-house that is needed to build AI.

TSMC has a factory in the USA now, ASML too. OpenAI, Google, xAI and Nvidia are natively in the USA.

While no other country is even close to build AI on their own.

Is the USA going to "own" the world by becoming the keeper of AI? Or is there an alternative future that has a probability > 0?
Note that this paper appears to have a critical flaw: they didn't actually verify that their "optimized" kernels have the same output as the original kernels.

So some of their "optimized" kernels gamed the system by computing only parts of the actual result.

Look at their most "improved" (147x faster!) kernel for example: https://pub.sakana.ai/ai-cuda-engineer/kernel/1/15/optimize-...

If you read the code carefully, and in particularly the kernel launch parameter, you will see that this only computes the first row of the matrix. Which means it's generating incorrect results.

I found String (Boot) a horror to work with. Annotation based devt with super weird errors. The great thing was that most errors where run into by many before me so could be solved by a simple web search/ Stack Overflow article.

Do you want to manage. Most companies have fewer people who want to manage vs. spots. So if it is something you want to do I think just ask and you'll be encouraged. If not see if you can tech lead (lead projects rather than direct reports, set some coding standards etc.).

Intercontinental business-class tickets have a tangible benefit, guaranteed lie-down seat and relaxing accommodations that enable rest, as you correctly point out. Flexible airline tickets have no tangible benefit, it is simply risk mitigation (avoiding wasting a nonrefundable ticket if a person can't make a flight) and like other risk-mitigation products such as insurance, extended warranties, car rental protection, etc, it is priced so that the cost exceeds the benefit.

And as stated elsewhere, the majority of consultants are relatively junior people whose role has nothing to do with negotiating contracts.
