OpenAI Deep Research – Six Strange Failures
ESG Isn't Passive Anymore
I want a 4 inch screen. Like 1st Gen SE.
Hey! Glad to hear you're excited about it! Yes, we're currently working on improving our MCP support in general - we'll have more to share soon, but part of that is supporting SSE servers directly
understood, would love to know about it from founders tho, and what went through in their decision
I'm not saying that nobody supports the Democrats over the Republicans. There's two interrelated points:

* Supporting the Democratic Party against its main opponent is very different from supporting it in its own right. There's a lot of people in the US who would prefer for Chuck Schumer to be the majority leader, but very few who look to him for cues on what they ought to believe or fight for.

* There's very few spaces where the Democrats are dominant enough to form a nucleus of mass resistance. 50-43 among union members is a nonzero lead, but if you go to your union local to organize an anti-Trump protest, that 43% represents quite a lot of voices who won't agree with the premise that there's anything to protest.
Yep, all my SSDs that have failed so far have gone completely undetectable to all the computers I tried to use them on. I have never seen this read-only failure mode personally yet. It feels made-up to me.
It may not have been technical junk but HP bought Palm three years after the iPhone came out. I loved my Palm Vx but that is truly hilarious timing. From a business perspective, in 2010 they were complete junk.
Influence is not control?
The ArsTechnica article discusses that.

> In fact, there was some controversy over the first attempts to do so, with an early paper having been retracted after a reanalysis of its data showed that the evidence was weaker than had initially been presented. A key focus of the new Nature paper is providing more evidence that Majorana zero modes really exist in this system.

If you're taking 'post roads' to mean the federal government has control over every single road across the US that is an insane overreach of federal power. Especially when it is specifically enumerated for the sake of delivering mail and has nothing to do with other use.
I love the game and I'm nostalgic for when games were extremely difficult but for many the best way to experience Grim Fandango without such frustration might be by watching a commentary-free playthrough on youtube. I don't feel viewing the work is meaningfully diminished by not being the button clicker. Once one is familiar with the work there is a great developer commentary that is available on youtube also.

My guess is that they want capital to have power over everything. Organizations that you can't buy and that have any amount of power are going to get destroyed. That's why the opposition is doing nothing about this. They're also servants of capital.
Bringing On-Chain Data to AI Agents with SQD and ElizaOS
We’re introducing the SQD plugin for ElizaOS, which enables AI agents to query blockchain data using natural language and augment their context with on-chain datasets. The plugin supports ERC-20 transfers and Uniswap swaps and leverages stateless streams to fetch data without an indexer.
Are we locally ready?
Surely it's so they can feed error messages like "PC LOAD LETTER" into the model and get a sometimes semi-accurate explanation.
There is some research in accelerating Reinforcement Learning by implementing the simulator on the GPU using Jax. Really neat. I'm curious if this could be done with Mojo, too?

I think they are referring to today's discontinuation of the 3rd gen iPhone SE, since the 16e is so different from the previous SE phones.

Bureaucracy is what happens with _any_ large system. It's unavoidable, and the best you can do is to build institutions that know how to manage it.
Replacing a skilled technician is remarkably challenging. Often times, when you automate this, you just end up wasting a ton of resources rather than accelerating discovery. Often, simply integrating devices from several vendors (or even one vendor) takes months.
The music in this game..wow..I still listen to the soundtrack many times a year.
It’s not bad. It just IS.

the only people that think it is bad are people who have a different opinion and feel attacked for whatever reason. I find it telling when people accuse others of virtue signaling because it is almost always someone who is jealous or insecure attacking said signaler.
glad to see the same basic tradecraft from 90s hacking, only very refined and industrialized. it's a durable skill. the focus on switches and routers is very pro, as they are the most opaque infra with the fewest forensic capabilities. iot is less reliable as RE'ing cheap devices and firmware for IoCs is accessible, where almost nobody outside the IC did core gear (word to phenolit from back in the day tho).

the traffic redirection is interesting in that i would be curious if they rate limited it or used on device selectors in their implant to redirect traffic. the trade off between memory caching packets to sort on selectors vs.stealthy throughput would have been a fun design meeting.

hunting these kinds of actors would be supremely fun. the main thing that protects them is few outside massive bureaucracies really care enough or find it economical, as the rewards are more in finding new zero day and not hunting state level threat actors. the exceptions who do (p0, citizenlab etc) are attached to massive orgs and dont really led themselves to privateering. amazing write up anyway.
There's a huge amount of ads/annoyances/3rd party embeds/etc. you can't block just using DNS. PiHole complements uBO but isn't a replacement for it.
I don’t really understand agents. I just don’t get why we need to pretend we have multiple personalities, especially when they’re all using the same model.

Can anyone please give me a usecase, that couldn’t be solved with a single API call to a modern LLM (capable of multi-step planning/reasoning) and a proper prompt?

Or is this really just about building the prompt, and giving the LLM closer guidance by splitting into multiple calls?

I’m specifically not asking about function calling.
I admire (though do not agree with) the spirit of your argument. What I don't understand is how, given everything we know and have seen about Trump and the content of his character, you could possibly expect him to do the "honorable thing" when push comes to shove.

The Founders fought and bled and sacrificed together for the free principles that this country was founded on. Trump has done none of these things. In fact, he goes out of his way to show contempt for large swathes of the citizenry on a regular basis. The man is famous for refusing to pay his bills. Why would one expect this nakedly self-interested man to show a shred of honor at the eleventh hour when he has the chance to become a powerful tyrant for the remainder of his life?
This is a lot bigger. IIRC the mini is smaller than the old SE, and this is bigger than the mini. It's not a "plus" sized iPhone, but that would be skipping up two size classes. It has gone from small to regular.
Yes, because political slogans like Defund the Police resonate with people. /s

When I go directly to a user's profile and see all their posts, sometimes one of their posts isn't in my timeline where it should be. I follow less than 100 users on Bluesky, but I guess this explains why I occasionally don't see a user's post in my timeline.

Lossy indeed.
Big companies give a 7-10% raise to everyone every few years to get back to competitive. I agree this is a big problem with the industry, but the C suite doesn't realize that. I always check the yearly inflation rate just before raises are announced to see how my raise compares to inflation - as a senior engineer I don't expect a raise anymore, I expect my salary to match inflation though. Often I get a pay cut every year instead. It has gotten bad enough that I moved (I found a transfer in the same company which came with a raise to the next pay grade - in that in turn pushed the old management to realize they had real problems with not giving promotions and a bunch of people who didn't move finally got their deserved promotion)

I will join your party.
I have said that for awhile: the worst thing about Java is Java developers.

I have some issues with the Java language (though Java 21? Actually pretty ok!), but there's no question that there's a lot of great stuff in regards to libraries in Java land.

A lot of the stuff that's just built into the JDK is already very good, for example. NIO can be a bit hard to work with, but is generally very good, fast, and reliable. A lot of the concurrency abstractions (e.g. BlockingQueues) are really pleasant to work with for most concurrent programs, the different types of mutexes/locks give access to most of the patterns you want, and the thread-safe collections like ConcurrentHashMaps are very boring, in that they work pretty much exactly as I want them to.

If we extend to third party libraries, it's even better. Vert.x and Disruptor, for example, are downright excellent tools for wrangling concurrency.

The issue is that it feels like a lot of Java developers are stuck in 1999; it can be like pulling teeth to even use NIO, which isn't exactly "new" at this point. When I wrote some stuff using BlockingQueues instead of throwing `synchronized` everywhere, people acted like I was grabbing this was some exotic code from a distant land that had never been tried before, When I imported Vert.x into my project because I needed to run a lot of non-blocking concurrent tasks, it required a lot of justification for using it instead of using threads everywhere.
Ask HN: Why Does the US President Have So Much Control over Foreign Policy?
The Russia-Ukraine war is a highly sensitive geopolitical issue with broad implications. It seems like the presidential administration has near-total control over deciding which countries the U.S. aligns with. Shouldn’t such decisions involve more than just one person’s perspectives, personal allegiances, or political motivations?

How did this level of executive power over foreign policy come to be?

Also, I’m surprised that the U.S. now appears to be shifting its stance, seemingly aligning more with Russia instead of the EU and Ukraine. What led to this change?

It would be necessarily so. A creator would need his own creator if you buy into the sentiment that we require a creator.
Practice coding in Q#
Based on what i read it seems a lot of algorithmic work is required to even make them useful. New algorithms have to be discovered and still they will only solve only a special class of problems. They cant do classical computing so your NVIDIA GPU probably may never be replaced by a Quantum GPU.
another example to reinforce: ICE commonly self-issues "administrative warrants" for agents to present at a raid. these are not the same as judicial warrants, have not been reviewed by a judge, and do not have any legal power. but none of that is obvious to the person looking at a document that says "warrant" at the top.

I agree lying to get a confession is like torture to get information. In most cases, the information you get (and the confession) is bullshit.
That's a nice throwback. Totally different subject matter but Matt Levine of Money Stuff on Bloomberg also continues to do that.
It's interesting to see who immediately jumps to a hypothetical involving the police protecting them from a crime, versus those who immediately jump to a hypothetical where they're being protected from police.

This may be irrational, but I'm more worried about being falsely imprisoned by legal means than I am about being murdered by illegal means.
Hackers Are Exploiting Signal Linked Devices Feature for Real-Time Spying
Stupid is stupid, creating black nazi soldiers it is stupid, it might be a consequences of trying to fix some bad bias in the model but you can't claim it not to be stupid. Same with refusing to accept children stories because they are violent , if a child can handle that there are evil characters that do evil things then also a an extremist conservative/racist/woke/libertarian/MAGA should be able to handle it. Of couse you can say it is aa bug, they try to make happy both extreme and you get this stupidity , but this AI guys need to grab the money so they need to suck the d of both extremes.

Or we claim now that classical children stories are bad for society and we need to only allow the modern american Disney stories where everything is solved with songs and the power of friendship.

Instead of choosing not to reply, you chose to continue the discussion instead of being done with me as you said you preferred, just to make a bad faith accusation.

I still use 1st Gen SE with 4 inch screen.
Nice pun though. It's because when the camera is set to record 24 or 12mp photos at default zoom, then you can crop the 48mp sensor and still get the same resolution.
Oh man what a throwback. I played the FUCK out of deadringer back in the day but haven't thought about rjd2 many years. Going to go see what he's been up to.
I disagree. Others have also disagreed with you. There were also those that did agree too. We had a situation where everyone shared different opinions. One might describe the conversation as "subjective". ;-)
Very cool. Like I said I can make it work with Stdio but I have a SSE MCP proxy I wrote to combine multiple MCP servers (just to make plugging in all my tools to a new client easier to test). That said, I think after looking at the docs that I'll be tempted to move my tools in directly but I probably will keep them behind MCP for portability.

We are at an impasse then because I have no desire to write you an analysis of money interests in American politics.

It certainly seems to me that you, along with the author, are just trying to rationalize a biased viewpoint on the issue. If you don't have any specific criticisms about the various firms and billionaires that influence the Democratic party (you clearly have criticisms for the Republicans), that's a pretty good heuristic that you aught to be more scrupulous in your research.
It wouldn't be crazy for them to offer a mini only every several generations. If the problem is that there isn't enough demand to justify design and tooling, it would make sense to let demand grow for 5-6 years, then release a new mini that all small phone lovers will buy.

I'm not aware of any stretching. That's just what the word means.

Why bother create a whole new word unless you meant something other than "free trade". Wouldn't they have said "free trade" if that's what they meant?
Regarding your first statement: yes, sadly.

Regarding your second one, I have some good news though: ASUS Zenfone 10 is smaller than iPhone 16 by 1.1mm x 3.5mm, Samsung S24 (base model) is 0.6mm x 1.0mm smaller, and Sony Xperia 5 V is only slightly bigger.

Writing code is by far the easiest part of the job; working out what to write is probably 95% of what you end up doing. Tying libraries together isn't interesting from a code-level perspective anyway, so try to enjoy the process of getting there.
The guy who termed RICE (Gabe Mirkin) later came out and said he made a mistake. Specifically with the "Ice" part (and partially with Rest). See: https://drmirkin.com/fitness/why-ice-delays-recovery.html
The phrase you are looking for is "Orwellian doublespeak".
The causes are more complicated.

The founding fathers envisioned the legislature be slow and deliberate, so it was never intended to move quickly.

One major party doesn’t think government solves any problems, so it’s not incentivized to use it to solve any problems. In fact, a generation of Republicans have tried to stifle fixing any of the large problems.

The other party is frequently torn between a wide spectrum of “do everything for citizens in a wide swath of policy areas” and “neoliberal free market capitalism”, so they can’t even agree when they are in majority how to weird their political capital.

The rest is usually downstream of sound-byte media (stripping out nuance and polarization of media outlets), paid advertising scaremongering voters (money in politics), and electoral engineering like gerrymandering (legislators picking voters instead of the inverse).
The current guy in power has just as many cognitive issues, but it is a few years younger, is louder and doesn't have a stutter. That is, apparently, enough.

Democrats did screw up by not allowing the people to choose the candidate. They also screwed up again by not preemptively creating safeguards in case Trump won, and by not strengthening the elections. Too many ballots were thrown out.

Now they are further enabling this by basically displaying no opposition.
My brother broke both of his legs in the Army Ranger parachuting school a few years ago. He landed wrong because of weird instructions and heard the crack but after they patted him down and told him he was good he spent 2 weeks trying to walk it off.

Finally the pain got to be too much and they took him in for x-rays. Needed screws all throughout his legs and 2 months to heal.

Now he's fine, goes out for daily runs, still in the military (but failed the Ranger class because he couldn't finish the jump training) and is mostly upset about not being a ranger.
That's not exceptional IMHO. It's a good effort, but not exceptional. Exceptional apps scream "wow" and are feature rich, with great UI/UX. Example of exceptional apps are Obsidian, TablePlus, Transmit (by panic), Sublime Text, VSCode. File Pilot has that "wow" factor and the features.
