"System owner, we need to spend $10K to sanitise requests or a kid can destroy our business overnight".

"System owner, we need to spend $10K to clean up the database and code so that null and "null" are not the same thing, even though it works 99.99% of the time".

Do you see the difference?

My worst code is always what I wrote yesterday. Often what’s missing is context, unless I comment ad nauseam. Sure I didn’t write complete test, obey open closed principles abstract into factory functions. The code I send from my hobby projects is likely a mess, because finishing on my own time by my own unpaid constraints wills it to be so

> we don’t observe a sufficient fiber intake for most human omnivore.

This has no bearing on the argument. That is just as true of vegans who purchase boxed products.

It's also fairly US-centric. If you observe countries with the longest lifespan, lowest CVD incidence and overall best health outcomes, they consume a more varied whole-foods diet with animal products.

> the classic diet

This is the Americanized diet of ultra-processed foods. Whole foods are the solution, which is in no way shape or form contingent on whether animal products are included (unless the diet is "carnivore" which is not representative, and even there you can find traditional societies who fare ok even if not completely optimally).

Every human knows that governments and bureaucracies are inefficient in some way. It's been mocked since the dawn of times. The issue is that you don't toy around with big legacy systems like you do with twitter. To satisfy their little immaturity and get political points on their fans they start ripping off everything without enough time. If they started real medium term efforts to analyze, organize and then migrate it would be different. Plus there are other factors due to human group and political time that will come back later and muddy things up again when someone feels like fixing elon's patch.
/bin/true used to be an empty file. On my desktop here, it's 35K (not counting shared libraries), which is an asolute increase of 35K and a relative increase of ∞%.
It makes sense to me. If you grow up seeing animals slaughtered on the regular you probably won't think much of it, especially when the adults around you treat it as completely normal. You grow up in an environment where you might think meat comes from the magic meat factory, when you see an animal slaughtered for the first time it's likely to be shocking enough to turn a lot of people away.
There's a new privacy focused entitlement proving thingy now. The first implementation is by cloudflare I believe but Kagi also just went live with it. The name escapes me at this mobile moment.
Is this the sort of data that could be useful in training LLMs or in terms of demographic data that would be valuable to advertisers?
Nonsense. Just be honest that you have either evidence or a hypothesis. If you are in charge make an arbitrary decision or defer to the person that is in charge. Everything else is posturing by people that cannot perform, typically due to an irrational fear or some face saving silliness.
I don't think it's just one, unfortunately. It's not even much of a co-opt; more just an inevitable progression of the ideology that was held by that administration since the beginning.

First of all, this looks very impressive (besides that it will be used for memes, haha), but can someone explain why the faces and movements look almost cartoon-like?
Our corporate lawyers say otherwise. The laws applying to data at rest is determined by the jurisdiction where the data is physically stored. That's why we couldn't use GCP for years. Google would never guarantee your data would only be stored in the continental US (mandated by our legal department). Now they can do that, so we use GCP. At an organization I was at previously they had the same legal requirement and so they went all-in on AWS. Google is unlikely to get any of their business anytime in the foreseeable future.

Love the idea of the vibration sound effect as a ringtone! I might add it actually, great suggestion :)

Adding the ringtone on iOS is a pain in the ass, I was thinking to add a step by step guide right on the website... Apple provides a guide in their support articles (https://support.apple.com/en-us/120692), it's not difficult but I don't understand the reason honestly. It should be simple with a .m4a file from the Music app, but you need the computer
Don't listen to ChatGPT. There are 44 non-abelian and 6 abelian groups of order 72. I wouldn't say these particular numbers are terribly important, but they are correct.

The dictionaries used by dictionary attacks usually have leetspeek words in them, so it doesn't matter much.
Many mathematical structures are groups so understanding them helps you get insight into the concrete situation you are trying to solve. For example is the problem I am seeing abelian? If so then it must look like X or Y.

It did cross my mind ( like ministry of truth in 1984). But I suspect it's just a coincidence. Overall I think, in my judgement DM/EM have been transparent, at least significantly more than their detractors.
The dark truth about keeping chickens and many other poultry is that they hatch in an approximately 1:1 male:female ratio, but can't be kept in that ratio without severe conflict and stress. Thus, hatching chickens to keep for egg-laying requires killing most of the male chicks. So yes, you have to kill chickens to eat eggs.
Yes, when you're not from this country (a foreigner), you need a citizenship card to reside and work here (or a visa). Thanks for verifying that for me.
> and the new Apple C1, the first cellular modem designed by Apple

This is the biggest announcement IMHO, it's been a long time coming for them to ship something after buying the patents from Intel. It makes sense to ship the first new radio in "not your flagship" and a good way to test it out.

I wonder if the iPhone 17 will have it or if they will wait another year to see how it does. I would imagine the 17 is pretty much locked down as of now so it's not like this phone is meant to test in the wild then use the tech in 17 since there isn't enough turnaround time.

I mean, nothing's impossible, but I don't really see Google being able to change their behavior in a meaningful way. At least not anytime soon. I don't think they want to, anyway. They keep doubling down.
I've been using a similar diceware generator for years. I think I learned about it from Cryptonomicon?

Consider adding the following options:

-include-captital (default yes)
-include-lower (default yes)
-include-symbol (default yes)
-include-number (default yes)
-min-length (default 8? not sure the common limit)

How you implement these would be up to you. For my part, I generate a password and then transform it according to the options, trying to keep the spirit of diceware (as needed -- your generated pw may satisfy the options by chance, depending on the dictionary). E.g, capitalize the first letter, lower-case the last letter, (or prepend A or append z, if there aren't enough letters), put - between first and second word, transform certain vowels to numbers, that sort of thing. There are some subtleties to min-length.
> I wouldn't say that there is any direct connection per se between thermodynamics and any field where statistics or information theory are applicable.

Thermodynamics can absolutely be studied through both a statistical mechanics and an information theory lens, and many physicists have found this to be quite productive and enlightening. Especially when it gets to tricky cases involving entropy, like Maxwell's Demon and Landauer's Eraser, one struggles not to do so.
> 3. What kind of work should we focus on that AI won't easily replace?

I have enough confidence to answer just this question. You should definitely leverage AI where it's good at, as a tool for improving the quality of your work. But what I noticed, since the advent of LLMs for coding, is that quality of software hasn't improved, maybe output(? but can't be sure). There's been a lot of talk in the industry about decreasing quality of software in the recent years, way before than LLMs. So my obvious answer to that is to focus on products where a great UX makes the whole difference :) Maybe a bit generic but I believe there's a great value in that. A while ago I heard Casey Muratori(search the name if you don't know who he's) claiming that a product that would focus on performance alone could be a successful product, even without coming up with anything new, just copy something and make it better. I believe that nowadays that's true and there are a lot of opportunities out there given how bad some software is. E.g. Zed editor

> What makes you think DOGE is being blasé with personal data?

Why should a government agency run by a random unelected tech ceo even have the option to be blasé with personal data? Like I thought this website was pretty vehemently against things like the Patriot Act giving the NSA granular personal data and backdoors into communication, that at least had the guise of "national security" backstopping it. Giving a new department personal data access for no reason other than "government efficiency" (no actionable goals given by the department btw) is significantly more tenuous than "national security".
They generally do not know what they are looking for. They are generally untrained, and if they are trained, the training is probably all about using leetcode-type problems to give out interviews that are sufficiently similar that you can run stats on the results and call them "objective", which is exactly the thing we are all quite correctly complaining about. Which is perhaps anti-training.

The problem is that the business side wants to reduce it to an objective checklist, but you can't do that because of Goodhart's Law [1]. AI is throwing this problem into focus because it is basically capable of passing any objective checklist, with just a bit of human driving [2]. Interviews can not consist of "I'm going to ask a question and if you give me the objectively correct answer you get a point and if you do not give the objectively correct answer you do not". The risk of hiring someone who could give the objectively correct answers but couldn't program their way out of a wet paper bag, let alone do requirements elicitation in collaboration with other humans or architecture or risk analysis or any of the many other things that a real engineering job consists of, was already pretty high before AI.

But if interviewing is not a matter of saying the objectively correct things, a lot of people at all levels are just incapable of handling it after that. The Western philosophical mindset doesn't handle this sort of thing very well.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law

[2]: Note this is not necessarily bad because "AI bad!", but, if all the human on the other end can offer me is that they can drive the AI, I don't need them. I can do it myself and/or hire any number of other such people. You need to bring something to the job other than the ability to drive an AI and you need to demonstrate whatever that is in the interview process. I can type what you tell me into a computer and then fail to comprehend the answer it gives is not a value-add.

Ironically USAID might help Americans more than foreign folks, and disproportionately Trump’s own supporters - if the money is being spent to buy American products, particularly food, that is then shipped overseas.
This explains why Windows wsa is going away, since it was tied to this.
There is firmware available online for some terminals; you could potentially get a lot more accuracy in emulating the actual firmware, but I'm sure a lot of that code gets into the guts of timing CRT cycles and other "real-world" difficulties. I'm not suggesting this would be easy to build out, just pointing out that it's available. While I haven't searched for the VT240 firmware, the firmware for the 8031AH CPU inside the VT420 (and a few other DEC terminals) is available on bitsavers. The VT240 has a T-11 processor, which is actually a PDP-11-on-a-chip.
Like a lot of people here, I learned to program on a 99/4A before moving to a PC. The 99/4A was actually great, but looking back very primitive. TI-Basic -> Extended Basic -> Assembly. When I got to the PC, I missed hardware sprites and a real sound chip (a sound card for a PC cost $300 at the time - about $100 more than my TI cost my Dad!).

It always amazed me that the 99/4A had such a vibrant community (that is still creating hardware and software around the machine) and so many outlandish ways to expand the machine.
It’s always less impressive to know how it works and fewer people care.

> They don’t oppose slaughter because they don’t think there’s an alternative

That's clearly not true, and a projection.

They don't oppose slaughter because they find no objection with killing an animal for nourishment, "necessity" having no bearing.

In the UK, the Prime Minister has a lot less discretionary power, but much more ability to get legislation changed.

So when a political question arises like "should we have net neutrality?" the elected politicians decide and pass legislation.

That's in contrast to the US, where someone decide the executive was granted discretionary power over net neutrality in 1934, several generations before the net was invented. Then the executive decides there will, then won't, then will, then won't, then will, then won't be net neutrality.
I haven't use these in a long time but fairly certain the memory address is more like 16 bit (otherwise, yeah how could you do anything). Still with 8 bit instructions many ops require several instructions. If that doesn't matter and it needs to be super cheap / small / etc., I think that is why these exist.
Here's Bannon's quote verbatim -- "I said, all we have to do is flood the zone. Every day we hit them with three things. They’ll bite on one, and we’ll get all of our stuff done, bang, bang, bang. These guys will never—will never be able to recover. But we’ve got to start with muzzle velocity."
I agree with you—destruction of bureaucracy with no plan is a recipe for disaster. I only meant to take the administration at it's word for a moment.
> to keep the trade routes safe or whatever, I don’t know

During the Cold War, Washington used free trade as a bribe to get countries to consult with the Pentagon on security issues. It was able to do that because although it was mostly decoupled from international trade, the American economy was so large that what little international trade it did engage in (as a percentage of total US GDP) was quite valuable to smaller economies.

I guess governance quality in the US could have declined so much since the end of the Cold War that narrow business interests have gotten control of US trade policy, but for many decades Washington cared more about preventing the rise of a competitor (in the Soviet Union) that could eventually challenge it militarily than about using international trade to improve American economic performance -- because the US economy ran well without international trade.

The main reason the US had a dominant navy is that it is the most efficient way for the US to prevent the most potent military threat against it: namely, some other country's navy showing up on American shores and bombarding things or interfering with coastal shipping from one US port to another US port.
The fact that this same navy has been useful for keeping the world's sea lanes free from piracy and privateering has been just a nice secondary effect. (Similarly, Britain's global empire was a secondary effect of centuries of British efforts to prevent Dutch, French, Spanish and North African fleets from raiding the British coast and raiding British ships operating near the British coast).
Because there are bigger fish to fry, I think people don’t appreciate the sheer cost of the system rebuild that will be required for security reasons later.

There’s absolutely no telling what additional software has been installed alongside existing, or which systems have been modified that would require audit. Purging this will be an absolute fucking nightmare to the American taxpayer.

This may turn into one of the most significant IT incidents in world history.
That sounds to me like the epitome of foolishness. Making a law about where your data rests requires a severe misconception of the risks of that data being revealed to your adversaries.
Grok 2's per-token prices are similar to GPT-4o, but since Grok tends to write longer responses than others, it can be significantly more expensive to use depending on the task. If xAI prices Grok 3 to compete with o1, not everyone is going to be lining up to use it even if it's a bit better than the competition. If that's how it goes, I'll be interested in the pricing for Grok 3 mini.
As far as I know:

Most app available on Amazon's app store are already available via Google Play Store anyways. Rather, most developers have deserted the Amazon's store and the versions available there are outdated by years. I noted that Apps Amazon released for their own external or internal events like AWS re:Invent were only available via Google's Play Store and not Amazon's own.

The challenge is that many apps on Amazon's app store are tied to the app store. I once tried disabling Amazon's app store app, and noted that the apps installed stopped working (until the app store was enabled again). My immediate conclusion was that I would not want to rely on these apps or Amazon's app store. The developers may not have any incentive to update their apps versions on Amazon's store to remove the dependence on the latter, and nor they may have any to allow the paid users just install those apps from Google's play store without paying afresh.
You can always distill VLMs into much smaller / faster models that’s specific to your domain or use-case.
