> US President has called Zelensky a dictator (and for good reason, Poroshenko, the previous Ukrainian president, has basically said the same thing a few days ago)

You can't be serious that you consider that to be a good enough reasoning.

Zelensky's support / approval rating is well over 50% (according to polls). Zelensky defeated Poroshenko, getting 73% of the vote in the 2019 election.
Trump has specifically said, more than once, that he says things that he does not intend to follow through on internationally to make US foreign policy more difficult to predict. He also clearly says things to establish negotiating positions for more reasonable objects. Panama is obviously the latter.
Why pay anything when we have the wonderful Ublock-origin.

I haven't seen an ad on any webpage for years.
And it was fine for things like game shows. Growing up we had an old 12” B&W TV that we dragged into the dining room every night to watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Very lightweight. For the kind of TV where the visual experience is secondary to the content, it’s fine.
What's your basis for saying this? I think the problem is Musk guessing how to fix a series of institutions he's not an expert in, which is clearly and obviously a mistake. I suppose we'll see how it turns out, but the stakes aren't low.
Ditto. And it's especially problematic when the prosthetic is owned by a state-aligned actor. (What's Tiananmen Square? What's a trans person?)

No doubt! I'm surprised people even remember JibJab.
> Trump has specifically said, more than once, that he says things that he does not intend to follow through on internationally to make US foreign policy more difficult to predict.

That's an idiotic policy that embarrasses the country and should not be defended, but condemned for what it is - strategic hyperbole or not.
Nice. I like the idea of splitting trust so that the clients IP + browsing data are not linked unless the two servers collude. This feels very similar in spirit to VPN cascading though?
The humans already exist. We’re neither creating nor destroying them for the purpose of doing an LLM equivalent task, nor am I bathing or clothing myself to think up an answer to something, and evaluating the problem as though we are is a sick joke. This is the most unserious argument in favor of AI I’ve seen to date.
I’m gonna be straight with you. I used to think this way — that living small was a form of protest against the ills of society. But life is too short. For many of us, that cardiac arrest, car accident, or pandemic-related terminal illness is right around the corner. Don’t say no to things that bring meaning, joy, purpose, and expansion to your life. You only have one life to live.

Unfortunately, you are mostly correct about packaged food in the US.

But there is no law that says we can only eat packaged food!

VWWHFSfQ, you may already know this, but: I recommend this talk by Armin Ronacher (Flask creator) on how Python's implementation internals contribute to the difficulties of making Python faster.

https://www.youtube.com/watchv=qCGofLIzX6g

One case study Ronacher gets into is the torturous path taken through the Python interpreter (runtime?) when you evaluate `__add__`. Fascinating stuff.
An ankle arthroscopy leading to debridement of the joint. I have some bone or scar tissue that is causing impingement, meaning my tibia doesn't glide along the top of the talus like it should do. There's little I can do to fix the arthritis in it now, but I can at the very least free to some movement such that the rest of my body isn't limited by my lack of mobility.
No, not at all. Who are they accountable to? Nobody?

Anyone who knows even US Civics 101 would recoil at such an idea.
> no one would bat an eye if this were Barack Obama reigning in some executive agency

Obviously a counterfactual we can never truly know but I'd remind you that the right were offended when Obama wore a tan suit and was using Dijon mustard. I'm pretty sure they'd "bat an eye" if he were attempting even 1% of the shenanigans that Trump is pulling.
The JIT will improve - you can also use PyPy to get speedups on programs that don't use a ton of C extensions.

Also, free-threading is coming so we'll have threads soon.

I don't know if Python can every really be fast as by design, objects are scattered all over memoryand even things like iterating a list, you're chasing pointers to PyObject all over the place - it's just not cache friendly.

Always seems that people forget piholes run really well in a docker container basically anywhere.

The pi bit of it is less important than the hole bit of it.

and with things like Tailscale or ZeroTier you can run your pihole at home and use it from anywhere on mobile devices too

I run a couple at home and they've been rock solid in containers on mini-pcs for a long time.
It's probably way more than that, IMO. Like 10x more.

Edit: Back of the envelope math puts it around 60-70kg per day, conservatively.

Why on earth do you think they care? They won. Their voters will never hold them accountable, and non-voters are sniveling, feckless trash who won’t say a word as long as they’re not required to get off of TikTok or Facebook. No one cares what anyone thinks, anymore. It’s why these “protests” are so laughable. Who do they think is listening?

As someone who once built a large coop [1] then just bought a pre-built shed for the 2nd coop, it's definitely _not_ the _monetary_ solution. You will probably lose money overall for quite some time. I'm still probably underwater.

BUT, there are definite upsides:

- Chickens are very sweet animals, and are quite intelligent. You will grow to love all the silly things they do. You can pet them, they are super soft, and can become quite tame. They can purr.

- I'm told the eggs taste way better, I don't really notice it because I really only eat my own eggs, but perhaps I just got used to them

- It's fantastic to get ~8 free eggs per day (from 13, 3 are not laying this winter)

- Morally/ethically, it seems like the best way to eat eggs if you're caring for them in a loving manner (compare to factory farms)

Consider the downsides:

- You may have to euthanize a chicken, likely by hand (literally) via cervical dislocation. It still ranks among the worst things I've ever had to do in my life. Imagine euthanizing your dog or cat by hand...

- Predators, foxes and hawks, you need defenses

- Veterinary services can be harder to find. Most vets don't want to deal with chickens. However, it also tends to be cheaper than a vet for a dog/cat.

- Your wife may one day want a chicken to live inside the house. You may one day agree to this, and then miss it when the chicken is living outside the house again...

- If you really like eating chicken, you may end up finding it difficult to eat them again in the future after you develop a bond with them.

I think there are more upsides than downsides, but you should think about these downsides before taking the plunge. Don't let it dissuade you. Overall, they have enriched our lives immensely and I would recommend it to others!

If this has anything close to usable rigging data (from what I briefly read, it doesn't seem to), this would be a cheap pipeline for generating animations for real time applications out of video references.

As it is, it seems like it might help for video editing and VFX. Being able to isolate out a human being lets you do all sorts of editing with less issues that can then be composited over later for a final shot.
I thought this one might not get flagged because its about the director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service. (and our industry)

I think there is some interesting discussion to be had about a fast moving and seemly very powerful government department without clear leadership or accountability.

I'm always surprised to see a fair amount of support for DOGE here. I'd love to understand why these people think this is OK.
Ukrainian military are moving from Telegram, which presumably still has some ties to Russia despite the claims. And this is yet another phishing campaign in Ukrainian language that makes use of Ukrainian-registered domains to host fake Signal group invites to make Ukrainian military join and link their devices to an adversary-controlled machine. Who might be behind that attack? Hmm, let me think... I don't know! Probably Ukrainians themselves. Or it might be the US. Might as well be the Martians. We will never know the real truth, after all nobody is to be trusted during the war!

Stop the tiresome FUD please. This war is surprisingly straightforward by the standards of the last century, it's literally out of some decades-old textbook. Let's not drag this discussion here again. If you have specific issues with Google's attribution here, please state them, HN is pretty aware that attribution can be shaky. My only gripe with the article is the clickbait title: nobody says that someone is "targeting e-mail" about e-mail phishing.
But that's not a good branding name. Would you argue that a mini fridge should only be marketed as a miniature refrigerator? It's a mouthful. Why does the name that's used for branding need to show up in Nature?
Which is ironic, considering that patents are supposed to be non-obvious.
Another anecdotal story: My brother was hit by a bus and broke his hip when he was in his 20s. The doctors said that there was a good chance that he could stay lame after the bones heal.

He started getting up and trying to walk as soon as he could, way earlier than recommended, to speed up (according to him, possibly instinctively) healing. Fast forward a couple years and there was no visible issue in his walking. Never heard of him complaining about his hip either after that.
The scenario is a task needs to be done. Whether it's for business, personal, whatever. It's a task. It needs to be done somehow. It can be done by a human, or by AI.

We are calculating the cost of doing this task. I don't know how else we can be more clear.

Honestly I'm very unconvinced by this article author's sense of need to calculate the energy cost of the LLM as an argument against it. But if we're using it as an argument, it's only fair to compare how else the task can be completed (i.e. by the human) and what it would cost. What is there to not understand about this comparison?

> IIRC, Bunnie (Huang) mentioned how freely data flows in Shenzhen for hardware hacking, versus pulling teeth trying to get data sheets for components from western component makers.

That’s like pointing to torrent sites as proof that US media companies are open to sharing their content.

Most of the hardware details being shared in shenhzen are stolen from western firms that have no way to enforce their IP.

Satya Nadella – Microsoft's AGI Plan
If you are not watching/reading/listening to Dwarkesh Patel's podcast, then you are missing out. This is what techie podcasts should have been all along.

The most interesting content in this episode is not Majorana fluff, but just the "boring" stuff.

It's a very intelligent interviewer asking one of the most intelligent CEOs really good questions.

Satya on AGI:

> Before I get to what Microsoft's revenue will look like, there's only one governor in all of this. This is where we get a little bit ahead of ourselves with all this AGI hype. Remember the developed world, which is what? 2% growth and if you adjust for inflation it’s zero?

> So in 2025, as we sit here, I'm not an economist, at least I look at it and say we have a real growth challenge. So, the first thing that we all have to do is, when we say this is like the Industrial Revolution, let's have that Industrial Revolution type of growth.

> That means to me, 10%, 7%, developed world, inflation-adjusted, growing at 5%. That's the real marker. It can't just be supply-side.

> In fact that’s the thing, a lot of people are writing about it, and I'm glad they are, which is the big winners here are not going to be tech companies. The winners are going to be the broader industry that uses this commodity that, by the way, is abundant. Suddenly productivity goes up and the economy is growing at a faster rate. When that happens, we'll be fine as an industry.

> But that's to me the moment. Us self-claiming some AGI milestone, that's just nonsensical benchmark hacking to me. The real benchmark is: the world growing at 10%.

Holy crap. This sounds a lot like actual non-hype facts, from a CEO invested in "AI!"

The cost of this increased healing rate would be the tail risk of compounding injury though. It's not something a doctor could recommend even if it were true for everyone consistently.
The Parent is a Chinese-Malay and they do have grievances but his answer is probably biased. Malaysia is far from perfect but it is not Afghanistan. It is one of the best Muslim countries.
No, reducing inflammation can help manage pain, but beyond that is not beneficial (actually is detrimental) to healing.

TBH, I am one of those people that's a little too young to remember Yeltsin. I know him generally, but wasn't aware of the direct through line to Putin. Overall, that's a pretty sobering analysis.
Oh great.. This looks exactly like some PhD advisors I've heard of. Creating a list of "ideas" and having their lab monkey PhD students work on it. Surefire way to kill joy of discovery and passion for science. Nice going google :). Also, while validating with "in silico" discovery I would like it to be double blind. If I know the idea and its final outcome the prompts I give are vastly different from if I did not.
Sure, and most small organic molecules are an order of magnitude smaller than that definition.

No doubt his administration will cast a long shadow. I was only responding to the allusion that he could become a long term dictator.
Anyone who is even remotely involved in precious metals knows that Fort Knox is the center of one of the biggest goldbug conspiracy theories. The story is that Fort Knox doesn't have as much gold as they are purported to have, which means that total US gold stores are less than they say they are, which means physical gold is worth much, much more than it currently is. It's the Holy Grail of gold conspiracy theories and the fact that Trump is going to audit Fort Knox is actually really hilarious.

At this point I won't be surprised if he declassifies all of the UFO/UAP files.

Social Security is a a scam. If individuals were allowed to keep their contributions and invest them in the stock market—for example, in index funds like VOO and chill then nearly every American could retire as a millionaire, making traditional 401k unnecessary.

You are out of date. North Korea currently deploys enough warheads to exhaust the current GMD system.

The problem is that adding another warhead (MRV or MIRV) is much much cheaper than building a whole new interceptor (and adding a decoy is cheaper still). The Hwangsung-17 almost certainly has MIRV capability (the Hwangsung-15 can put a single nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States, the only reason to go bigger is to MIRV it). The North Koreans put 12 of them in a recent parade, so that's at least 36 warheads, plus however many Hwangsung-15's they built. And unless you are doing boost phase interception (like the ABL, which was ultimately canceled do to being too vulnerable) it will just always be easier to put 3 warheads on a missile than you can build three new interceptors (technically, given the way GMD works, you ought to build 12 new interceptors- the plan with GMD is to launch four interceptors per target, so our current 44 interceptors provides protection against 11 targets total). The defenders are breaking windows with guineas, which just isn't sustainable unless you have an absolutely enormous economic advantage over the adversary. And even then North Korea has already built enough to overmatch the existing US missile defense systems. At 4 warheads per Hwangsung-17, the ones in the parade alone exhaust the GMD system even if they fire 1 interceptor per target instead of 4. Which I suspect was why the North Koreans paraded exactly that many missile launchers in 2023.

This basic bit of economics is why Richard Nixon signed the ABM Treaty in the first place. Idiots who thought that no one would ever be as smart as they were pulled the US out, and the result has been the utter destruction of most of our arms control treaties for negative benefit.

People working in solid state is weird. [1]

For example in some cases they have a "gas" of electrons. It's not a normal gas that you can put in a balloon, it only can live inside a solid. If you ignore the atoms in the solid, in some cases the electrons are free enough to think they are a gas. That is similar enough to a normal gas, and then they just call it a gas.

Sometimes the interesting part is a surface between two semiconductors, so they may have a 2D gas. (I'm not sure if this experiment is in 2D or 3D.)

Sometimes the electrons make weird patterns, that are very stable and move around without deformation, and they will call it a quasiparticle, and ignore that it's formed by electrons, and directly think that it's a single entity. And analyze how this quasiparticles apear an disappear and colide with other particles. It's like working on a high level of abstraction, to make the calculations easier. [2]

In particular, if you arrange the electrons very smartly, they create a quasiparticle that is it's own anti-quasipartilce. In particular, this is a Majorana quasiparticle.

This is somewhat related to topological properties of the distribution of the properties of the electrons. Were topological means that is stable under smooth deformations and that helps to make it also stable under thermal noise and other ugly interference. But this is going too far from my area, so my handwaving is not very reliable.

[1] They probably think my area is weird, so we are even :) .

[2] Sometimes the high level abstraction is not an approximation.
Is this true or are you just speculating based on nothing
Thanks. Does FAR use a similar strategy as this or something different?
I think filibusters just need to go back to how they used to be. If you feel strongly about something you better be prepared to blab for hours on end, on your feet. If you can't physically do that... well, maybe that's a sign in and of itself.

All for reps expansion. Remember that we haven't expanded in nearly 100 years because "we were out of room in the building". Meanwhile we have 435 people representing 330 million people (average of 760k people per rep), when the population representation was roughly 250k/rep the last time it expanded.

We should have at least 1000 reps by these numbers.
