This EO, combined with his proclamation that "He who saves the country does not violate any law" paint a very concerning picture. This has, historically speaking, been the language of tyrants. No President is above the law, nor does the President "interpret" the law; that is the domain of the Judiciary.

How do you get the players to agree on whether some person is elderly or not? Some people look 10 years younger than their age, while others look 10 years older. Short of asking people for their age, it seems to remain guesswork...

Agreed - AI that could take care of this sort of cross-system complexity and automation in a reliable way would be actually useful. Unfortunately I've yet to use an AI that can reliably handle even moderately complex text parsing in a single file more easily than if I'd just done it myself from the start.
> I don't see anything that lends credence to the idea that Congress can control the workings of executive departments.

Along with what others have said, you might want to recognize that Congress controls the purse. They dictate how much the executive should spend on each item, though that can be nuanced (as in "up to this much" vs "exactly this much")
Hell, i want a smaller phone lol. I love the high end phones, i like my iPhone 16 Pro.. but man, this smaller one is tempting.

So gravity builds up over time?

(Forgive the layman's attempt at understanding)

If Bob is floating in space in a capsule, and a very heavy asteroid floats past, the amount that Bob's capsule is moved is dependent on the speed of the asteroid?

Does that sort of thing have to be considered when planning the orbits of probes etc?

Is Earth traveling fast enough, from the viewpoint of Alice floating near the sun, to have a gravity "tail" or "wake" trailing after it? (Alice near the sun thing is my attempt at a mostly static observer) And of course due to relativity, if Alice was orbiting retrograde to the big heavy object, she'd observe even more effect?

I think I need about 6 more cups of tea before I can think about this!

What would a disruptor in the smartphone space even do in 2025?

It's not like the status quo phones are too expensive, too small or too slow compared to the average user's use case. There is a phone for every price point, and at worst you'll be stuck with a bad camera or a laggy chipset.

There are already phones running Linux and de-Googled OSes (Purism, Librem, LineageOS). They won't ever get big enough to challenge Apple/Samsung, but maybe be big enough to have a stable enough OS to not scare off people looking to switch.
> Knowing the pain isn't organ or muscle related, but is just fucked up nerves, is consolation. It's not preventing me from doing anything. I still have full range of motion and mobility, it just hurts

I have MS. I have brain lesions. It is just nerves, but they affect mobility for me, because it messes with the communication between the brain and some muscles (and my bladder, leading to incontinence).

So in my case, it is not a relief, to be honest. Unfortunately.
I feel you're correct because this is the iPhone that appeals to me, and no new iPhone ever appeals to me.
Take a look at the links and sources mentioned in his retrospective on the Sparta series: https://acoup.blog/2022/08/19/collections-this-isnt-sparta-r.... Devereaux mentions some different approaches that modern historians take towards Sparta, particularly Steven Hodkinson's arguments that Sparta was more typical and less unusual compared to the other Greek poleis; following up on that work would probably be a useful counterpoint.
Would've been nice of either the title or the linked content to mention any of that

It is common to have a task runner to abstract away commands.

doit, poethepoet, just... They are simpler than builders like make or maeven, and more convenient than aliases.

E.g: i don't run ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:7777, I run "just openserver".

Poetry, cargo and npm have support for this natively, and there is an open ticker for this in uv too.

So you would not do "uv run manage.py runserver" but "uv serve".
Seeking excellence and demanding ideological conformity at the risk of prison don't seem compatible to me.
I agree.

My iPhone 12 Mini has seen better days, and I will need a new phone soon. It is disappointing that there is no alternative to the iPhone 12/13 Mini in 2025.

The smaller form factor is more comfortable in my hand, and fits better in my pockets. With the slim bezels, I have never felt that the screen was too small.

It is funny to think that the screen size on the iPhone 12 Mini is very similar to the screen size on the older plus models.

I’ve started showing my kids, Herculoids, thundar the barbarian, he-man, and other sorts of just really weird old cartoons. There’s not a lot today that’s being produced. That’s just fun and weird and gets the creative juices going. There are a few weird kids books too like the skull and the queen in the cave that I highly recommend.

Culture quickly defined by what has already been created could definitely use a shot of weird injected.

I’m not sure why compilers generate slow code for SIMD intrinsics when optimizations are disabled. But, it is observable that they do.

Aras and pretty much all gamedevs are concerned about this because they use SIMD in critical loops and debug build performance is a major concern in gamedev.

Debug build performance has been an issue forever for a variety of reasons. The most common solution is to keep certain critical systems optimized even in debug build. And, only disable optimizations for those individual subsystems when they are the specific target of debugging. It’s inconvenient for game engines devs. But, that’s a small subset of the engineering team.

Like how, for example? Serious question.

If SpaceX has the best, most economical, and safest route to space, why would Nasa and DoD not use them? Who else is there? Blue Origin's not there yet; others are in the works but not there yet. SpaceX is proven; it does a good job and has brought manned space flight back to the U.S. Has nothing to do with whether Musk & his team are close to Trump or not.

More to the point, the DoGE audits are projected to save the federal government hundreds of billions of dollars, which should significantly reduce the deficit which is currently projected at two trillion dollars.

Even if we assume the worst, most absurd and political stance that Musk is in it for the money and influence, saving $500 billion or more is still worth it. And, in reality, Musk's political activity is costing Tesla a lot of sales; Tesla's sales numbers are in decline, actually.
I have been keeping my 12 Mini in as pristine condition as possible. I often keep the phone in my vest pocket and really hate the size of … well … anything larger than the Mini. Best form factor ever for me.

In restaurants, yes, we eat salty, fatty, overcaloric stuff - because that is celebration food, not everyday fare. At home, day in day out, we cook leaner, simpler stuff, and eat less. Also, Italians tend to live in urban centers, often walking or cycling rather than driving everywhere.

I've been living in the UK for 20+ years, and every time I land back in Italy I suddenly feel obese, because people are so much thinner. After a few weeks of normal life there, I know why: I'm eating less, eating leaner, and moving more.
You say tomato, I say Elm is dead. Nobody will use this for new real projects.

They're not "accountable to nobody". Assuming they have the votes, congress can revoke any law, at any time, for any reason. And typically laws specifying the appointment of specific people also have provisions for removing that person.

The reason for this is stability. Congress, businesses, international allies, and most US citizens typically don't want things to dramatically change every new presidential administration. And the primary way to ensure that stability is to make it so the same people are working in various government offices from administration to administration. And I think people are quickly learning why that stability is desirable, as the current administration attempts to dismantle it with no consideration for the consequences.
Conservative people just can't create technology. Technology is always progressive.

This suffers from the homunculus fallacy.
I don't know why people are so focused on the amount they're spending on VR/AR. It's a tenth of their revenue, a quarter of their profit. They spent more on stock buybacks. As far as I'm concerned all the tech companies that are printing money should be spending like this on specific technologies they believe in, instead of stock buybacks. E.g. Google ought to have gone all in on Waymo instead of seeking outside investment.
Yeah. It's best played these days with a walkthrough on hand to look up any puzzle that isn't immediately obvious. The vast majority of the puzzles aren't worth the effort. Great art, story, voice acting, and music, though.
Don't forget that one of your co-workers will die. I just got out of a meeting where I was told the guy who called it died over the weekend so his department needs to find someone else to reschedule it. That happens a few times and you start thinking do you really want to be working at all (you of course needs to eat and all that, but is what you are doing really how you want to spend most of your waking hours). Something has to give, and often what really gives is not what you want to give unless you are really careful.
The doing tends to be the hard part. Every scientist has 1000 idea for every one they get a chance to pursue.

I have some books translated from Russian that that I acquired back in my powerlifting days and that showed studies the Russians did on Olympic weightlifters. The children (who had been lifting heavy since a very young age) had bone mineral densities far higher than average untrained adults. The adult Olympic weight lifters had bone mineral densities that were completely off the scale, as the book put it "in polar bear territory". Granted, these study participants were people explosively lifting hundreds of pounds from floor to overhead in the blink of an eye, not your average gymbro, but still.
> The “20 years away” meme is stupid.

No, it's not. It's just a legit illustration of somethings state of development on fundamental levels. It simply means "we have no f**ing clue how we can do this, but future..". This is different from something we have already solved, and you just need to throw money on it to scale it to whichever level you need it.

> Cracking natural language comprehension with digital computers is an example from our field and it’s here.

That's the point, everything in research is always x0 years away, until the breakthrough happens and it's finished.
It's not like it's an official competition, and it's (probably) not for money, so I imagine you can just wing it and it will be fine. If there's a disagreement you just talk it out, which is also a good way to pass time on a subway.
Then why can't my Meta Ray Bans use a non-Meta AI assistant???

Haha I understand why but my only real complaint about the glasses is that I'm stuck with Meta AI. Would be so nice if I could plug Gemini or Open AI into it.

Great product overall but suffers from not having an SDK and lock in on the model.
> except why focus on animals?

It's a gamble. My assumption is that extrapolating from my personal experience of experiencing the world around me, to other humans is often wrong, but the main gist stays the same. I would feel awful, if someone were to cut off my limbs one by one, so I don't do that to others. Extrapolating from me a human being to a orangutan doesn't seem so far fetched. I think they would also feel awful being cut into pieces. Looking at cows, they have such varied and often human like behavior and expressions, that I think chances are my experience of the world, while still drastically different is still similar enough that the treatment in a farm - any farm - is not something I want to subject them to. Continuing this thought I could go all the way to bacteria or even maybe further. But to me that seems impractical and I think extrapolating from my emotions to the emotions of a bacteria has so little predictive power as to be effectively zero. So as I said, I draw the line at insects, where I think they are different enough that applying my perspective isn't useful anymore.

I could be wrong, and the cow really doesn't mind being torn apart limb by limb, or the other way as well and trees do mind. Maybe society is right and it doesn't matter, but what if not?

I'm saying all of this as a FF diehard since before it was named FF... right up until today. I'll use FF until they pry it from my fingers.

Back in the IE6 vs. FF days... IE was inferior in every way. IE was crashy, had no tabs, pathetic/hostile developer tools, insecure, poor support for open web standards, etc.

But today?

The difference is that Chrome is really good, with great developer tools. It's a great user experience.

FF only really wins in terms of better extension API (allowing things like uBlock Origin) and the "moral superiority" of not being created by an advertising company, and serving as a bulwark against a browser engine monoculture. And among real privacy diehards, they're probably using something like PiHole which makes uBO perhaps superfluous for them.

But it doesn't out that even developers who should know better apparently DGAF about those things.
> “Oh that 7 minutes of checking my email while I refill my tank was horrible. Leaving the house so much earlier if I hadn’t done it the day before was truly oppressive. And these days I luxuriate in those rare gifted 20 minutes of leisure when I choose to recharge my battery while on the go!”

Please avoid strawman arguments.

If you're truly curious why some people prefer longer electric charging stops on road trips to shorter bi-weekly gas station stops:

Even when not strictly necessary for refueling, my family takes a ~10 minute break after every ~4 hours of driving to let everyone stretch and use a restroom. No one has objected to extending these stops to ~15 minutes when we take the EV. The primary inconvenience has been that it has constrained where we stop, as many of our old stops do not have charging infrastructure.

Whereas a refueling stop during a shorter trip (including running errands or during a daily commute) introduces an entirely new stop that serves no additional purpose.

From what I can tell they went from having a dozen small dev tools into consolidating everything in VS Studio.

This has also been somewhat mitigated by VS Code, not everyone needs a giant 30GB ide to edit text. I think Microsoft is one of the better companies when it comes to developers. You don't even need Windows to compile Windows software... Unlike Apple that locks everything behind over priced hardware.

I read this part as the author saying very diplomatically that this code was flat out bad and obscure, and not simply a different style or paradigm.
