In casual usage they feel like two separate concepts to me.

I think of it this way:

We put iron grills on our apartment balconies.

1. For SAFETY -- prevents the risk of people and kids falling off balconies.

2. For SECURITY -- prevents any intruder from being able to get into the house through balcony.

I am not sure these are accurate though as English is not my first language.

Eliminating foreign aid seems to be a common cause of neo-conservative movements.

Boris Johnson shut down the British equivalent(Department for International Development) and scrapped the commitment to spend 0.7% of GDP on aid.

It's simplistic, drastic and brings no specific domestic effect which could be a rallying point for unrest.

It's also very easy to come up with rage bait stories of corruption and waste as justification, because in any organisation spending billions of dollars around the world you will always be to find something ridiculous that got funding, even though the proportion of the budget it represents is insignificant.

Unfortunately, most discussion of direct threaded interpreters confuses the implementation techniques (e.g. computed gotos) with the concepts (tail calls, or duality between calls and returns and data and codata, depending on your point of view). What is presented here is conceptually a direct threaded interpreter. It's just implemented in a way that is more amenable to optimization by the compiler technology in use.

(More here: https://noelwelsh.com/posts/understanding-vm-dispatch/)
I think this technique is known since 1970s as "direct threaded code".

Nowadays I am on the other part of the fence, I am the interviewer. We are not a FAANG, so we just use a SANE interview process. Single interview, we ask the candidate about his CV and what his expectations are, what are his competences and we ask him to show us some code he has written. That's all. The process is fast and extremely effective. You can discriminate week candidates in minutes.
Show HN: Analyzing PPP Loan Fraud with Advanced Python Data Analysis
I recently made a quite elaborate system for systematically finding suspected fraudulent loans in a giant 8.4gb CSV dump of PPP loan data using lots of interesting Python data science techniques. The entire thing is open-source, and you can easily replicate the findings, which are depressing.

If you just want to see the complete final outputs of the analysis that looks at the most suspicious looking loans (after scoring them using a powerful model that looks at many indicators of fraud), you can see them here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dicklesworthstone/ppp_loan...

I did all of this work in the last couple days, mostly using Grok3, which was a really great way to get familiar with this new and very powerful model. I was impressed with how well it worked, both in terms of helping to come up with ideas for the system and also implementing it.

I also wrote a blog post about it with more details (although the readme file in the repo is probably more informative, if technical):

We are talking about phones right? Things that make calls
In the UK in particular, it makes more sense to think of things in terms of working class Vs middle class, rather than left Vs right. The working class used to be more left wing as a block, now it's more right wing as a block. Equally the chattering classes were more right, now they're more left.

That's why Labour is worried about reform - they're confusing their historical voter base with "people who agree with our policies". They're looking for more votes, seeing Reform's numbers increase where they used to be, and working out how they can become more right ring, rather than how can we get more center and left leaning voters to vote for us.

It's the trap the Tories occasionally fall into. Mostly the Tories are a bunch of different parties united by a few specific ideas. It's why they have so much infighting when they're in power - they aren't coherent about what they stand for. Traditionally Labour were clear on what they are, but that seems to be fracturing in the current political climate.

A lot of this got predicted back when Labour became far more center ground in the 90s, at the same time as the traditional power structures of the left waned in influence. What'll be interesting is whether the right cede Reform voters to the left and let them proceed to fight amongst themselves to appease two ideologically opposed voter bases, and become a far more center right party (probably after getting rid of Kemi), or fight for reform voters and leave Labour stronger.

Tune in in 2028 to find out what happens next I guess.

I think it's more so that people don't believe it's bad unless they start drinking parfume.

And I'm like that as well. I have a a Febreeze oil thing stuck in a smart outlet so it works only a bit before I wake up and in the evening and my room smells like strawberries at the moment. I also shower with the scented stuff whenever I don't have to use the medicinal stuff, etc.

I know the scent probably isn't healthy but I also don't believe it's bad enough to where I should stop enjoying it. Especially considering people who vape aren't dying all over the place. You've got people huffing scents out of X00 Watt sticks for years before it fucks them up in some way in comparison to which my exposure is probably invisible on the graph.
I am the opposite. My nose has barely any sensitivity, so I love intense smells, because they actually make me smell something. Also, fuck the people who keep windows open 24/7 even during winter. They make everyone cold just because the air isn't perfectly fresh.

At my previous job we had a guy who'd always come and instantly open the windows. I know that I'm the minority with my preference to keep them shut, so I just suffered in silence, except for these first 30 minutes before he showed up, those were a blessing. He lived outside of the city and commuted, and one time he really needed to sleep inside the city, and I had a spare bed, so I let him sleep at my place. He walked in and instantly said "Can we open the window?", to which I replied "NO, WE CANNOT". I cannot describe how satisfying that felt.

I just had this discussion with my wife yesterday as she bought a scented product for the dishwasher so it does not smell bad. That stuff has ruined several travel mugs etc as i can not get rid of the smell. When i drink coffee, i want to smell coffee, not some lemon whatever. And it always ends up with me being the bad guy for not being reasonable.

We already had the same conversation about the automatic perfume spray machines; we had them over the dinner table, on hallways etc. Not so great when you are a tall person, and all of a sudden you get sprayed in your face because you happen to be standing in-front of the machine.
In the mug-scrubbing video, the person clearly pretends to wash the cup but does not seem to want to get their hands wet anyway. I'm curious as to when models can figure out that subtle thing.

I get that LLMs are just doing a probabilistic prediction etc. Its all Hutter Prize stuff.

But how are animals with nerve-centres or brains different? What do we think us humans do differently so we are not just very big probabilistic prediction systems?

A completely different tack: if we develop the technology to engineer animal-style nerves and form them into big lumps called 'brains', in what way is that not artificial and intelligence? And if we can do that, what is to stop that manufactured brain from not being twice or ten times larger than a humans?

Maybe consider a DECT/WiFi cordless phone that can do VoIP?

Something like https://en.avm.de/products/phone/ (I think they're intended to be paired with the same company's router/modem though). Most of the usual VoIP hardware companies have some DECT phones in their lineup that don't look too different from the analog ones.

If you're put off by the design of phones that try to make joining meetings easier, maybe look for the more basic models, like Poly (now HP) VVX 250?

(I haven't used either model personally)

The graphics chip on this thing was a big deal. Variants ended up in the ColecoVision, the MSX line of computers and Sega's SG-1000 console. Later machines like the MSX2 and the Sega Master System had backwards-compatible but entirely different evolutions of the design.

Quite an impact for a graphics chip coming from a rather unsuccessful computer. I never played around with or even saw a TI-99 but from my understanding the CPU needing to use VRAM as data storage (because the system RAM was way too low for the time), accessed through IO ports, really hampered the machine.

While it lacked the hardware scrolling, massive master palette and display list tricks of the Atari machines, it displayed multi-color high-resolution graphics with ease. Being able to set a different color for each line of a background tile allowed for really detailed art.

Only 4 sprites per line like the Atari (not counting the weird missiles), but the TI-99 sprites are 16 pixels wide and high-resolution, rather than 8 fat pixels wide, and there's 32 to work with in total rather than needing to use raster splits to multiplex sprites.

Way ahead of its time. MSX homebrew games like Mini Ghost, The Cure, Invasion of the Zombie Monsters, etc. really show what it can do.
Same here. Hetzner found no issues with hardware in diagnostics, they insisted it is related to OS/Software side but on my request they changed hardware which fixed issue.
I've had chickens for probably 15 years now, starting with 3 and ending up with about 20 (mixture of hybrids, pedigrees and rescued battery/farmed hens) and 2 geese. This happens a lot with chickens. Chickens are a gateway drug to more chickens. If you have a few chickens, they take about as much looking after as a rabbit - keep their food and water topped up, and clean them out once a week.

I agree that you won't make money or a profit. The coop money you will probably never earn back, but I can cover the cost of a sack of feed (£12 or so) by selling boxes to colleagues for £1 each.

I think the eggs taste better because a) what the hens eat and b) because they are much fresher.

I've had to kill chickens (and hate doing it), which is sad, but I've never taken one to a vet. It makes no sense to get a £80 vet bill on a chicken that cost £20.

We've brought chickens inside the house when they're ill (we have tiled floors) but don't do it on a regular basis. If chickens weren't incontinent, though, they would make great indoor pets. Surprisingly smart and pleasant animals. This will also sound weird but if you pick one up, they also smell nice - kind of like a new puppy smell.
Sure, but that's true before and after this EO.

What I'm talking about is accountability for interpretation of the law.

Let's say the head of an agency decides their interpretation of the law is X, but the President thinks it's Y. You can't bring them to court because X and Y fall within the interpretation of law.

If agencies were not accountable to the President, you basically have an unelected/unaccountable (when it comes to policy within interpretation of the law) bureaucrat that the voters are unable to hold accountable.

With this EO, the voters can elect a President who can then direct the agency head to execute interpretation Y.

That seems like the more idea scenario?
Based on what is this a 3-year-old phone (excluding cpu)?
It's all probabilistic, my guess. I.e. model produces probabilities for a set of actions from the same video. Even pretended action may look more like it than anything else. Thus getting higher probability.

Looking at industrial robots they don't mimic how humans do things, and hence, they are efficient. That's why I don't understand how these propsals to teach robots how humans do things will make any sense.

To have robots at homes, they will need their tools to be efficient. It will not be the same washing machine, oven, or dishwasher that we use now, there will be new ones made for robots.

True, the money is the scent that attracts these rats.
Past generations of my family used to name animals that they raised for meat after dishes they could end up in. There are practices people can engage in to distance themselves from the animals they interact with.

But also some people who raise animald for meat hire a person to collect them for slaughter in part because of the emotional toll involved.

As to your last question.. I think you might be confused? People don't like to kill in general. Go outside and ask people how they felt getting their first kill on a hunt as a kid, you're going to realize that a unifying element is learning to deal with harming another animal.

Bonus: being vegetarian doesn't exclude you from the necessity of killing in order to live. You're just killing forms of life that you emphasize with less, which is very reasonable and rational but also not materially different.
IIRC that helped somewhat, but didn't solve all issues. For my thesis I plan to use a single document.

Show HN: Claudius – A minimal TUI for chatting with Claude in Neovim
I found myself constantly switching between Neovim and Claude's web interface (console.anthropic.com) during my work. The context switching, copying, and pasting got tedious very quickly. As a heavy Vim user, I wanted a simple, text-based way to chat with Claude without leaving my editor.

Claudius is the result - a lightweight Neovim plugin that gives you a natural chat interface to Claude right in your buffer. It handles the API interaction, provides proper syntax highlighting and message folding, and even lets you convert your existing Claude Workbench prompts to a chat format.

No fancy UI, no bells and whistles - just a straightforward .chat buffer where you can have your conversations with Claude while staying in your familiar Neovim environment.

In September 2022, the agency contracting officer mistakenly wrote $8B instead of $8M when logging in the FPDS database. DOGE discovered this error in January 2025, and the agency updated FPDS accordingly.
When we were little my dad used to check our hands before eating by smelling them, that's why I mentioned it. In retrospective it seems like a great feature since he didn't have to watch us do it and could with time start doing only occasional checks to see if we'll start slipping until we got the habit.

Usually you don’t have access to “everything”. It might even be illegal to cross reference certain data, e.g., the same person or department might not even be allowed to have access to two databases.

I don’t know if the cross reference is true for the US, but it is for other countries.

Human (and other animal) brains probably are probabilistic, but we don't understand their structure or mechanism in fine enough detail to replicate them, or simulate them.

People think LLMs are intelligent because intelligence is latent within the text they digest, process and regurgitate. Their performance reflects this trick.
"reading the comments gave me a headache..."

Afaik AES is not vulnerable to any kind of statistical methods nor quantum decryption, so you'd have to capture the key exchange. Not that it makes the situation all that much better.
It doesn't have to prove absence of overflow since that is undefined behavior in C and thus modern compilers assume it can never happen.

Well, I updated my submodule to latest dev and it doesn't even build. Trying to figure out what broke. Looking forward to seeing the improvements.

EDIT: Found the offending PR and made an issue
We've had a lot of these in 3 weeks, but this is an emperor has no clothes on moment. DOGE is running around saying they have access because of Musk. Even Trump has a hard time saying anything else. Now they are saying Musk isn't really in charge and has no power. They also won't say who runs DOGE. Everyone knows it's bullshit, but people accept it. That's the real lesson from 1984, and here we are.

I'm really at a loss how anyone still believes or supports these people.
How so? First of all, assuming ASI is developed, as it stands now, it will be owned by a private corporation, not a nation state.

ASI also will not be magic. Like what exactly would it be doing that enables the country to subject the others? Develop new weapons? We already have the capability to destroy earth.
Actually come to think of it, if ASI is an existential threat to other nations, maybe the rational action would be to nuke whichever country develops it first. To safe the world.

You see what I am saying? There is such a thing as the real world with real constraints.

It is a concerted effort. On YouTube, many influencer channels like The Duran (where David Sacks has appeared before the election) tried to get MAGA votes by blaming Biden and the US involvement in Ukraine.

They have pivoted to blaming the EU for everything and repeating lies of the same sort as the VAT lie. Coincidentally, the Kremlin is also now blaming the EU for everything.

This is especially embarrassing since Sacks himself has always blamed the US before.

We are now in a purely business based environment and the EU/Britain had better learn fast to take care of their own business interests before others carve up the world.
Language is weird but I think they are separate concepts in most languages. Other languages just don't use safe as secularly.

Safe inflects from "save", and other languages use phrases like salve, salvar, спаси, to mean saving, usually of the soul but also of health.

Security, inflection of secure, derives from Old English sicor (siker), means more like "sure", or being certain.

So when they talk about public safety or computer security, other langs tend to use the "secure" word rather than the "save" word. Of course in the modern world, we just use the terminology the industry uses, and security has taken on its current meaning of protection.

Interestingly enough, there is a product/service called Secure Your Soul in Cyberpunk 2077, which plays on this same overlap in meaning.
