Laws are only a suggestion, they are not being enforced and there are no consequences.

The other thing is that in the US, people's lives depend on their jobs, with half of polled people indicating they live paycheck to paycheck. This makes them easy to manipulate into complying, putting their morals aside because standing up for morals or indeed the law will mean they lose their job.

I mean the US president declared yesterday that only he gets to decide on law and called himself king on his social media. There's heaps of 'legal' texts that indicate it means he can be deposed and yote into jail, but if there's nobody enforcing them they're useless.
They do continuously struggle with CPU load and by all accounts have a mountain range of technical debt from that decision, though.
Except in exceptionally poorly run or small organisations, random employees do not have access to everything; generally they need a reason to look at stuff, and there’s a paper trail indicating that they looked at it.
>>Arguments for stricter controls on immigration are made from across the political spectrum.

This isn't an argument about immigration - it's an argument about citizenship, and the current proposed implementation contravenes various pacts that UK is the signatory of - namely that asylum seekers shouldn't have their path to citizenship hindered in any way because of the way they applied for asylum. This isn't going to stop anyone from coming over here either, or I think it's extremely naive to think so. Someone getting here from Afganistan to escape the taliban isn't going to think "oh I would go to the UK, but 6 years from now they won't grant me citizenship so I won't". The citizenship application is already extremely thorough and investigates you from every possible angle, the "good character" requirement being tied to being how you arrived here is.................a right wing idea, because it punishes people who would have been otherwise elligable for a citizenship(so you know, live here legally, pay their taxes, never had any problems with the law) but now they won't because of how they arrived here.

>>ls, walking back support for it is the obvious next step.

If it's so obvious, why was this explicitly part of Kier's campaign promises? Because I'll be honest with you - right now I feel like a right melon for voting for him. All the things that were important to me that he highlighted in his campaign he has walked back on(well, almost everything) - so if these changes are so obvious, am I an idiot for believing what was promised?

Again, from my point of view - he(and Labour) are making those changes to not anger certain parts of the electorate. We can disagree on this point, but that's my view on it.

>>None of this requires any adherence to far right beliefs.

To be clear - I don't think Kier Starmer has right wing beliefs himself. But I can definitely see what I'd call "pandering" to those ideas by his party.
Use your best judgement.
> It's just the default nature of systems that were created by different agencies, under different projects with different teams.

... Yes, because those teams by default do not simply get to share access, because of various very well understood security and privacy issues by doing so.

> Trump only granted DOGE a 12 month window to eliminate waste, and there's 400 federal agencies, so parallelism is crucial.

That's what he says, at least. Also, if their current blatant lying[0] about the """waste""" continues then I don't really see a point. It seems clear Musk and the Breakfast Club boys who are unilaterally changing government finances have no idea how a government contract works (or it's willful ignorance).

I don't code much outside of work. I have hobby projects from 10+ years ago, but they're not much more than landing pages copied from templates and wordpress installs. I mostly work in backend/data/platform engineering professionally.

If I were asked to make a small project over a weekend, I'd be likely to decline rather than doing a more standard interview, or I'd use AI to do it in a reasonable timeframe (which seems to defeat the purpose as it relates to this discussion)
Generally when you reach that point it ceases to be a democracy.
Oh but there was a supreme court ruling that said that official presidential actions are in fact above the law, and he signed an executive order that says he gets to decide what the law is, which is not illegal because it's an official presidential action.

...yeah.

You're right about the random search however the domains that the model is doing the search is quite different. In AlphaGo, you do MCTS in all possible moves in GO, therefore it is a domain specific search. Here, you're doing the search in language whereas you would like to do the search possibly on genetics or molecular data (RNA-seq, ATAC-seq etc.). For instance, yesterday Arcinstitute published Evo2, where you can actually check a given mutation would be pathogenic or not. So, starting from genetics data (among thousands of variants) you might be able to say this variant might be pathogenic for the patient given its high variant allele frequency.

On top of that you are looking at the results in cell-lines which might not reflect the true nature of what would happen in-vivo (a mouse model or a human).

So, there is domain specific knowledge, which one would like to take into account for decision-making. For me, I would trust a Molecular Tumor Board with hematologists, clinicians - and possibly computational biologists :) - over a language random tree search for treating my acute myeloid leukemia, but this is a personal choice.
Who are these "most people"? School was over 10 years ago for me when schoolwork was not posted on GitHub nor is it relevant to my current job anymore, and I don't do hobby coding since I have other hobbies and responsibilities.

WTF is this hobby coding bullshit expectations? What other professions expect you do more work after work as a hobby and show it? Do bus drivers film themselves driving busses after work as a hobby? Do surgeons cut up people in their spare time as a hobby?

> I used the believe the same, but as I found out on HN, there are a lot of people who won't bat an eye killing animals raised on their own land. Maybe they just never develop a bond with these animals

You develop bonds, just different ones and you learn to place limits because you know what the purpose of the animal is.

I still felt it when I was really little, but that was gone by the time I was a teenager and the reality that this was our living set in.
This isn't just cuts though, this is dismantling checks and balances, international relationships, and many people will die from this.
> People don't like to kill in general.

I used to believe this.

Then I came up with a twisted question to ask people (I am fun at parties)

The question is something like, if you had to come up with a name for someone to kill within twenty four hours can you do so? The conditions are you get a full and unconditional pardon. It won't be held against you at all. If need be, we will even arrange it such that the person can't protest. However, once you agree, you must come up with a name and you must follow through. You must kill this person no matter what within a short time frame (make something up like a month).

I expected people to answer no. You can't come up with a name in a day! However, over half the people I have asked have said they have a name right now.
Except that they, an unelected private group, have already attempted to get all private and confidential citizen data from the US treasury, and have been blocked by the courts as it is illegal.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/feb/08/judge-tem...

They have tried to get data of all payments to US citizens including pensions, 401k, benefits and allowances etc. All foreign aid and diplomacy payments are included, and they have been charged with trying to find ways to illegaly stop these payments.

Be very careful in supporting what Musk and DOGE do. They are unelected, and have been given unprecedented access to government data. Scary times are ahead.

‘Libertarian ethos’. The guy who’s hoovering up personal data on behalf of a guy who just claimed to be king, that one? Like, how are we defining ‘libertarian’ here?
> cavemen had no language

big if true
The speaker’s claim that it’s hard to find a two-character name that hasn’t already been used for a CPU architecture seems ridiculous on its face. And his tone seems to indicate that he knows that (to me, anyway).

I programmed the real F8 back in the day, so I’m quite defensive about it. It’s most charming quirk: doing a long jump clobbers the accumulator.
Maybe it's temporary, not 'once you build it they will use it'. Time will tell, if in the end a dictatorship proves itself to run things more efficiently and make everyone richer, then other countries will follow the US and adopt the same model.
Do you know what places people who are interested in research congregate at? Every forum, meet up or journal gets overwhelmed by bullshit with a year of being good.
Ads are using the same servers as content. So you can't block one without blocking the others with dns only.
This is a straw man argument.

I don't like Musk. That's true. The reasoning is irrelevant.

Let's take someone I do like. Linus Torvalds. If Trump (or Harris or ...) appointed Linus, unilaterally, to do what Musk is doing, I'd still have a problem with it.

Now the two responses you might have are:

- I don't believe you.

- Linus wouldn't be bad either.

Both of which completely miss the point. Nobody should have singular, unilateral, unsupervised access to governmental systems like this.
Good for you, tell us how you did it!

The post you quoted is not a Grok problem if other LLMs are also failing, it seems, to me, to be a fundamental failure in the current approach to AI model development.

Not really, agencies are merged and split and have their remit changed all the time.

If there were a way to efficiently manage 2.5 million staff in a single department, then we'd likely do that, but it's more efficient to specialise, so we do that instead.

Firewalling data between departments is rarely a design consideration, except in obvious cases (military), and it hardly matters in this scenario anyway, because it's not like Musk is walking into all 400 agencies with a laptop. DOGE is hiring an army of advisors and dividing them up between agencies.
Yes, which is of course contributes to the irony: They are not doing the things which actually might help.

Which, of course, suggests either they are stupid or not taking these actions for the reasons they're saying. I'm wagering both.
You keep using that word "harm". What harm are you referring to?

If you don't have any citations to harm from the vaccines, you'll need to help me understand your concerns. We vaccinate against a lot of things that I am unlikely to catch, but that's mostly due to the hurd immunity, but also by being part of that protective barrier I have not then passed it on to more vulnerable people.
> blocked by the courts as it is illegal

False. It was a temporary injuction until the judge has time to review it.

> They are unelected,

So are 2.5 million other employees and advisors in government.

Do you actually have a cogent argument, or are just inherently anti-Musk and playing loosey goosey with the justification?
Wrote my first programs for this too, at 7. Copied from the manual with no understanding but eventually writing my own. The only coder in the house! Didn't write anything decent until the C64 when I made a few small games.

Great memories of Parsec too.
Deepseek innovation is applicable to xAI setup - results are simply multiply of their compute scale.

Deepseek didn’t have option A or B available, they only had extreme optimisation option to work with.

It’s weird that people present those two approaches as mutually exclusive ones.
This doesn't sound like "liking to kill" but more so like an "I know someone who's an absolute piece of shit and the world would be better off without them" kind of deal.
I feel like that's a different question though. Most people have at least one person they think would make the world a better place by their absence, but that's not quite the same thing as wanting to kill them, even if they would guaranteed get away with it.

(for a pithy version: "I've never wished anyone dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure")
I remember Flight Unlimited. Besides what you mention I remember it having very impressive world graphics for its time.

What you are looking for seems fairly niche to me especially on console, the only game that comes to mind is Star Wars Squadrons.

On PC I'm sure the story is a bit different (but not being much of a gamer these days I may not be the best person to ask). It may be worth checking out MicroProse games. This is the legendary publisher of old, with the brand being passed on through various mergers and acquisitions and the current stewards do a remarkable job and publish quality titles. Tiny Combat Arena may be worth checking out as it fits your description somewhat (if you can get past its stylised graphics).
This is a really intuitive explanation, thanks for posting. I think everyone’s first intuition for “how do we turn these logits into probabilities” is to use a weighted sum of the absolute values of the numbers. The unjustified complexity of softmax annoyed me in college.

The author gives a really clean explanation for why that’s hard for a network to learn, starting from first principles.
My brain immediately latched on to how much control could be exerted through the guise of "efficiency", you could effetely run a whole government from there. But I was expecting more installing a bunch of so-called "efficiency officers" in every department to report back when they weren't being loyal... er efficient.

I was not expecting the complete takeover of computer networks and rapid firing of large numbers of employees.

Is this survivorship bias?
The problem isn't AI, the problem is companies don't know how to properly select between candidates, and they don't apply even the basics of Psychometrics. Do they do item analysis of their custom coding tests? Do they analyse the new hires' performances and relate them to their interview scores? I seriously doubt it.

Also, the best (albeit the most expensive) selection process is simply letting the new person to do the actual work for a few weeks.

You want that to still work so that the human can demonstrate an action without putting themselves in the path of a danger to squishy human bits that the robot is safe from.

Many people doubt the actual performance of Grok 3 and suspect it has been specifically trained on the benchmarks

That's something I always wondered about, Goodhart's law is so obvious to apply to each new AI release. Even the fact that writers and journalists don't mention that possibility makes me instantly skeptical about the quality of the article I'm reading
Looking at levels.fyi…

Assuming he could get a job as a senior developer and the definition and responsibilities and qualifications of a senior at these companies are a lot different than those of a “senior” in Enterprise dev, you are still looking at around $225k.

While that’s not bad, it’s not the eye popping FAANG level salaries. More than likely he is going to be down leveled since he has no experience with architecture and system design or demonstrated “scope” and “impact” of senior developer.

If he gets down leveled to a mid level developer at either of these companies, he’s not doing too much better.

And in another reply he stated an unwillingness to do the interview prep.
Who has been tasked? Under what authority? Not Elon Musk, according to Donald Trump.

More seriously, if it was true it would be a stupid task, with stupidly inappropriate people selected to do it. What is actually happening is idiot destruction. Whether that was the intent or simply the obvious outcome of stupidity is irrelevant to the damage being done.
Do you have an alert setup to tell you when people are bashing the DoGE?
I get the same vibe, especially after reading the update where the book author contacts him to clarify stuff.

100%, this.

Im a bit flabbergasted I haven’t yet found a HTTP/API client that simply runs off an oAPI spec. Sure, most support «import of..», but do any support oAPI’s as continuously evolving source of truth?

Our oAPI spec is auto-generated (based off ts-rest.com contracts), and I’d love one that understands this, including auto-refreshing/importing of spec when it changes on disk.

If anyone knows of this magical piece of software, please share!
Marco Rubio has been very vocal on his support for USAID for years if you want to see what the traditional right wing take on this has been. "Critical to our security" etc. And he is of course in charge of the smoking remains of it now.
Funding Pharmaceutical Innovation with R&D Tax Relief Claims
One thing that society cannot live without is medicine. As requirements and regulations challenge the pharma industry, innovation is a necessity – but with rising costs, is advancement achievable? For UK businesses, a pharmaceutical R&D tax relief claim can ease financial burdens and boost effectiveness. So today we break down what pharmaceutical innovation really means with a look at the history of medicine, emerging trends, and how R&D tax credits can help fund research and development.
We call those ones “monarchies” or “dictatorships”.
Corporate socialism is what you are describing. It makes little sense outside of the Fortune 500, but they can throw good money after bad projects like replatforming onto internal tech, creating massive technical debt in the procof ss and an inability to spin it back out, thus they must murder the failed project.
I'm fortunate the prior owners have most things setup. They were older so some of the maintenance around trimming is behind, but I am learning. My problem now is, I don't know what to do with all the oranges. I've been giving them to the local restaurants in town, but I don't think they even want any more. Good problem to have I guess :) Next up is learning how to make marmalade.
I consider Inferno more interesting too, to be honest.
We'll see, but we've heard so much crying of wolf from his detractors that even if they are somehow after 10 years correct finally... no one is listening. Only the ones already dead set against him. When you throw the Hitler jab at someone for 10 years and they become the President, you screwed up. I quit paying attention during the Mueller investigations, I knew that if they had something- they'd just charge him. But they never did because it was all a sham. He was growing on me and then the assassination attempts happened, where I lost the "just a rich man's son" impression I always had of him. He has true strength and character. I follow true strength and character. You can't fake his reaction. He's worthy of our support and we should stand behind him.

Basically I don't think anyone else was going to do anything better than he is. Trump is the best we have. He's definitely worthy to be our leader though, and his opposition has been proven over and over again to be absolutely pathetic. Liars, cheats, and pretty much everything they call him.
Now that they can edit data, nothing can be proven, as they broke the chain of trust and accountability.

A criminal case can be thrown out if policemen didn't follow procedure, the same applies here. Those rules are put in place to protect all of us, and can't be handwaved because "that guy got elected" (with 49.8% of popular votes BTW).
It's the ease of the access thing. Winter was very white lately, so I swang by greenhouse on my way home, and it costed me 4 dollars and an additional hour on a subway.
Met my friend, decided to have a coffee-crocheting session after work hours.

I can fit so much stuff around my work, because most places are half an hour travel distance from it. So I can visit my family, meet a friend on a crochet session and visit greenhouse all in one week, and then have my weekend totally free. It will add a few hours to my commute, yes, but I mostly read books or make plans when I'm in transition.
Once a week I get home late because I go to the nearby music school to learn drums (and it doesn't add to my commute!). I also could swing by an archery or almost every other activity.

Gets better when it's summer, one summer I rode to the lake with another friend almost every day for two weeks. If our city had suburbia we would have to travel for hours.

There's a difference also between having public park as an option to go visit on a weekend, and option to visit a park on a lunch break or just because you didn't feel like staying at home. An option to run in the park every morning.

Suburbia feels like you own your home and your land. Good towns feel like you co-own them. Like you can do whatever you want, and there is a lot of options.
The past three years? Why that time period? (I thought trumps first term was when it all became obvious).
I wonder if this means that ai will have more capabilities with quantum computing.

So far, I haven't read how those chips are programmed, but it seems like it requires to re learn almost everything.

In large part because the last one to seriously try it, ah, ended up a bit lacking in the head department.
I made a video about vehicle communication buses
There are plenty of different buses, these six are the most common ones and I knew none of them before I started embedded development to build my own electric cars.

CAN-Bus is the most common one today, Automotive Ethernet is rising fast due to more and more sensors and higher bandwidth applications (ADAS, Sensor networks) but the old ones are still around: UART & SPI, then finally the one-wire LIN bus for turning pumps on and off.

I hope this helps someone as a starting point.
