That's totally fair, I can see why Wireshark wouldn't be the most accurate description to someone working on those kinds of problems. And fwiw, I wish my problems (before Subtrace) were cool enough to need to whip out Wireshark for packet-level inspection :)
I'm heavily against both relying on free dependencies and going for the cheapest option.

If you can't put yourself in the shoes for a second when evaluating a purchase and you just braindead try to make cost go lower and income go higher, your ngmi except in shady sales businesses.

Server hardware is incredibly cheap, if you are somewhat of a competent programmer you can handle most programs in a single server or even a virtual machine. Just give them a little bit of margin and pay 50$/mo instead of 25$/mo, it's not even enough to guarantee they won't go broke or make you a valuable customer, you'll still be banking on whales to make the whole thing profitable.

Also, if your business is in the US, find a US host ffs.
1) Agree that energy use is ethical. In fact, in so much as higher wealth and income is linked at the societal level to better outcomes such as longer life, lower crime, happier lives, etc., and wealth/income are strongly correlated to energy use, especially once we do the accounting for outsourced manufacturing, I'm willing to go so far as to say that in most circumstances, asking a person to lower their energy use is UNETHICAL. We should, of course, attempt to minimize externalities and harm that come from energy use, like pollution, habitat destruction, etc.

Also, just as a thing, not all public blockchains use a ton of energy. Since ETH (the number 2 blockchain) transitioned to proof of stake from proof of work a few years back, it uses practically no energy. Certainly it uses much less than other peer to peer networks, because it processes less data.

2) Agree.

3) Not only is it a good thing to replace jobs or partial jobs with automation, it is the only way that humanity moves forward for the long run! Otherwise, most of us would be dead of childhood diseases and over 90% of the remainder would be working hard manual labor jobs on farms. Certainly we need to practice harm reduction for the job functions and jobs eliminated! But only through automation do we improve materially as a species! (I'm not making a spiritual argument about the value of working on a farm vs a modern life, but material outcomes are much better and improve the more jobs we eliminate!)

4) Many tools have downsides. No tools are in all ways better than the old way of doing things. You learn to live with the bad if it's worth the good.

5) Given the open source nature of many LLMs, the ease with which state of the art LLMs appear to be copied, and the proliferation of various models that have been tuned for various tasks, I would say that LLMS distribute power rather than concentrating it!

In other words, the blog is basically wrong on every count.
It's really a great tool, well done! I enjoy using Excalidraw, and this tool makes a lot of sense, especially with the gif feature. However, would developing such an application cause any licensing issues?

No, it’s literally a digital crop exactly like the other sensors that use 48MP sensors. There’s nothing magic here. I would be shocked if it’s anything different than the exact identical camera used in the base iPhone 15, quite frankly. The cheaper versions never use the latest hardware for the cameras.
Untrue on both counts. Moore's law is not due to improved computing power in the design process, it's due to an incredibly long series of process improvements which become easier to develop because of the increased understanding of the problems they are seeking to solve.

Likewise advancements in fusion beget advancements in fusion by increasing understanding of the challenges faced.
Who are the "Democrats" that you are talking about? No one held on to Joe Biden, he was president and decided he was going to run for re-election. No one seriously ran against him because people generally don't try to run against a sitting president in a primary and if they had they would have almost certainly lost in a landslide. Biden didn't need anyone's permission to run, and no one could have stopped him from running. Then he dropped out and endorsed Harris no credible person attempted to run against her. There is no secret party leadership who decides on the candidate that we can now blame, and besides some of the efforts to convince Biden to drop out everything was done very publicly.
Tulsi wasn't one of the Democrat's best candidates.

You know who was? Senator Mark Kelly.
I think a large chunk of the footage is taken by gopros or similar, not smartphones.

I'm not sure what hallucinations you're talking about, given that this whole catastrophe has been one big "I told you so" thus far. By a bit of inductive reasoning we can predict that it will continue. (And it's not like it requires any special predictive abilities given that they told us during the campaign what they were and are planning to do.)
That is an ad-hominem, not a definition of the term as I asked for. Now, please, let's hear what you mean when you call people "extreme right" so we can talk clearly instead of throwing epithets and pasting labels.

> But I can't help but feel our stuff is a lot worse than it used to be.

You are probably wrong though, and you have to consider the benefits of lower cost items in terms of increased availability to the world's poor as well as what saving that money does to allow someone to deploy that money to improve other areas of their life.

There is almost certainly a better version of everything available to you at a cheaper price than 50 years ago, and a much cheaper version at a much cheaper price that is almost or about as good that billions of new people now have access to.
No. Go is worse simply due to lack of established design patterns. Spring (just like Angular) forces to build things in a certain way and has a lot of reasonable defaults. E.g. CSRF protection is enabled by default in Spring Security. CORS configuration is trivial. Magic? Yes. In Go juniors won’t even think it is necessary and may not figure out that they need a 3rd party library for that (or build it correctly).

This one isn't from automation. There are a lot of compounding reasons, but one primary one for the lack of ornamentation on modern buildings is the use of caulk to speed up the building process (which itself is still generally done by hand), eliminating many of the layered weather-sealing structural elements from previous building styles.

> But I can't help but feel our stuff is a lot worse than it used to be.

You can still get stuff that's "as good as it used to be" (or rather, as good as the small percentage of items that survived over decades). You're just going to be paying the same kind of prices for that quality, e.g. $500 for a KitchenAid stand mixer or $7000 for a Miele oven.

What’s the solution you have in mind? Anyone in the Executive branch can interpret the law for themselves and disobey an order if they believe they have a legal basis to do so?

They don't believe that about Democrats. Maybe their constituency does, thanks to propaganda, but the politicians simply just want to be in power.

No, the President already has that power. The norm of the previous institutions was, largely, to let the agencies do their thing. This administration is not going to do that.

This was a live question in Trump's last administration, but I don't think it is anymore after cases like Lucia?

It's not just that, it's that you can't specify them as dependencies in a coordinated way as you can with Python libs. You can dump a DLL somewhere but if it's the wrong version for some other library, it will break, and there's no way for packages to tell each other what versions of those shared libraries they need. With conda you can directly specify the version constraints on non-Python packages. Now, yeah, they still need to be built in a consistent manner to work, but that's what conda-forge handles.
No matter how high you set a maximum limit for interactions on social media (followers, friends, posts, etc), someone will reach the limit and complain about it. I can see why Bluesky would prefer a "soft limit", where going above the limit will degrade the experience. It gives more flexibility to adjust things later, and prevents obnoxious complaints from power users with outsized influence.

I'm sure Trump wasn't lying when he said he hadn't read Project 2025 and didn't know what's in it. He doesn't care, none of that matters to him.

But he damn well knew what it was, where it came from, and who was involved, given he brought several Project 2025 / Heritage Foundation people into the administration.
This is my read as well. Just double clicking here.
Only that the President is now trotting out lines created by the Kremlin's propaganda machine.
Okay, so you not only take issue with PIN+SGX, you think that any encryption scheme (at least from Signal) isn't secure enough. Your point still comes down to "they are storing sensitive information in a form that is ostensibly encrypted but still subject to attack (in the opinion of XYZ reputable people...)".

My point is only that the headline of your point was "they are lying about not storing sensitive information". That leaves out a very important part of your point. IMO it makes the claim seem sensationalized and starts you off on the wrong foot.

Traditionally, in poker variants with wild cards that enable 5 of a kind hands, it does IIRC beat a royal flush. )"Royal straight" isn't a thing; AKQJT straights are sometimes called "broadway", but they're never distinguished as a separate hand type. Whereas royal flushes do get distinguished from straight flushes, but not for any good reason.)

But all of this is moot because TFA doesn't define "suits" for the "cards" anyway. And of course the relative probabilities do change when you only have 5 ranks. (And we're also effectively "drawing" without replacement; there are an effectively unlimited number of each rank available.)

In 2017 I suffered a nasty fall. I landed on my right arm that was so in pain afterwards I was T-Rexin' that one arm for a few weeks. Too much flexion or extension hurt. Guess what set my arm right again: gym rehab. I was lifting weights then, and as soon as I was able I put the dinkiest weight on the bicep curl machine, 10 lbs or so, and just repped with that arm for a couple of sets. It hurt a bit, but training the arm got my body's repair mechanisms headed right to the site, and after a few sessions of this the arm became quite usable if not 100% pain free. It's pretty much back to normal now.
their perspective was wrong and clickbait.

Because there is no political future in doing so.

Politics is attractive to people with psychopathy. I'm not gonna say they're all that way, but a significant enough chunk of any political apparatus in the US is. If you want to have any chance of getting elected - much less having a real career - you have to play by the rules of those who see humans as means to ends and gamble that their opponents won't go as low to stop them.

I am going to argue that you do. Then I will be interested in your response, if you feel inclined.

We all have our idiosyncratically distributed areas of high intuition, expertise and fluency.

None of us need apprentice level help there, except to delegate something routine.

Lower quality ideas there would just gum things up.

And then we all have vast areas of increasingly lesser familiarity.

I find, that the more we grow our strong areas, the more those areas benefit with as efficient contact as possible with as many more other areas as possible. In both trivial and deeper ways.

The better developer I am, in terms of development skill, tool span, novel problem recognition and solution vision, the more often and valuable I find quick AI tutelage on other topics, trivial or non-trivial.

If you know a bright high school student highly familiar with a domain that you are not, but have reason to think that area might be helpful, don’t you think instant access to talk things over with that high schooler would be valuable?

Instant non-trivial answers, perspective and suggestions? With your context and motivations taken into account?

Multiplied by a million bright high school students over a million domains.

We can project the capability vector of these models onto one dimension, like “school level idea quality”. But lower dimension projections are literally shadows of the whole.

It if we use them in the direction of their total ability vector (and given they can iterate, it is actually a compounding eigenvector!) and their value goes way beyond “a human high schooler with ideas”.

It does take time to get the most out of a differently calibrated tool.

This is horrifying. Across the board (NOAA, FDA, NIH, NSF, etc.), they are dismantling the entire pipeline of scientific research in the United States through these actions, nevermind the rumored 50 - 75% cuts expected in science agencies across the government. For what, short term profits for xAI and SpaceX? If I were an adversary of the US, I couldn't imagine a more effective way to damage their technological superiority than to convince themselves to completely neuter the pipeline of new scientists into the economy. What a shame.
NIH is an agency within the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). The word from people inside headquarters at HHS is that during the entire Biden administration grant awards were made, not on the basis of science, but based on "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" (DEI) policies implemented at HHS. In other words, HHS evaluated proposals for scientific research not based on the value of the research nor on the qualifications of the proposers to do the work but simply based on whether or not it qualified as adding DEI. The result was that many of people involved in evaluating the awards were close to quitting because too much falty science was being churned out wasting millions and millions of dollars. Every taxpayer should cheer this pause and understand its to stop wasting your money. Why? Because humanity desperately needs advances in science to be made in America given the competition we have from China and other adversaries. It is true, hopefully, that some of the bogus research grants will never receive any additional funding and will layoff staff. That is a very good thing. The money instead can be redirected to where the greatest return on investment of our tax dollars can be achieved. If the people being laid off have solid science skills they will easily find other projects to work on.
In the style of Texas Hold'em, both players could secretly choose two seats each and write them down. Then, you'd collectively choose 5 seats to be the shared "cards."

This next suggestion would stretch the "poker" definition somewhat, but I think it retains the same characteristics (imperfect information, shared "cards").

You start from a shared list of attributes (coat color, presence of a hat, etc.) and designate a row of seats. Each person gets one attribute secretly. You wager after each stop following poker conventions.

Only downside to this is that unlike poker, your hand can get worse after a stop.

Well, it's my opinion based on the assumption that players used to specific common card games under the moniker might be disappointed when a new game with the same name lacks an essential component (and it's not cards).

Naming things is hard but there's no hard limits for the expansive approach, you can call all card games or all 5-things-games Poker. Your mileage as to communication with other people may vary, though.

Where we're disagreeing is at how we're seeing what's conventional.
