That makes more sense. My brain immediately suggested R&D + FUD = Research, Uncertainty, and Doubt, which is a fair description of life in academia but didn't seem relevant here.
"Take, for example, the simple case of a linear congruential generator (LCG), which is the typical textbook introduction to PRNG implementations. LCGs are to PRNG what ROT13 is to encryption and “1234” is to secure passwords. Despite that, due to their simplicity and popularity, they are the default choice for many non-critically secure applications" [0]

> It's somewhat picky about the environment. So far, aap's PDP-11/20 emulator (https://github.com/aap/pdp11) is the only one capable of booting the kernel. SIMH and Ersatz-11 both hang before reaching the login prompt. This makes installation from the s1/s2 tapes difficult, as aap's emulator does not support the TC11. The intended installation process involves booting from s1 and restoring files from s2.
I'm wondering if Samsung was 90% working on their earbuds and 10% hoping they'd see people switch from iPhone (which turns out didn't happen)
Fundamentally, an EO says "we urgently need to course correct and do X", which only makes sense if you agree that X is not already being done.

So this EO is not just declaring "the Executive Branch will obey me", but also saying "the Executive Branch has been so disobedient that I need to take immediate action to quash that"

If you are saying that latter sentence, you should be able to justify it by pointing at the disobedience that caused this issue AND explain why the usual mechanism of "Congress passes a law to address the problem" is insufficient (AND congress is currently aligned with the President politically, so that's a fairly uphill battle to argue)

---

As an example, no one should ever need to write an EO declaring "the sky is blue." If you're familiar with history, you might remember that smog used to turn the sky yellow. If someone wrote such an EO back then, you could reasonably conclude the actual purpose of the EO is to declare "it is now illegal to notice that the smog is so bad that it's changing the color of the sky."

My gut says there will be elections and they might even be "fair" but that there won't be much left to actually govern, having been sold off to corpo looters or just outright destroyed. Trump is his own aggressive buffoon, but ultimately still just a tool of the corpo authoritarians that have had a death grip on this country for decades (at least) - doubly so with the deals he undoubtedly had to make to get a second term to assuage his pitiful ego. Hence the captains of the surveillance industry throwing their support behind him with Musk gaining the de facto executive power.
> the attack on over-the-top wokeism was a valid attack

It was making Mt. Everest out of a molehill. No matter the "validity", sending a missle at said molehill is overkill.

>So, (if I’m interpreting you correctly) you are saying extreme views isn’t a major problem in the Democratic Party

It is not in my eyes. Very few disagree with DEI programs and LGBT issues. If those are "woke" I suppose Women's suffrage 120 years ago was also "woke". I just want people to have equal rights in life, no matter their origin.
you are reasonably wrong then. my device has a cadmium 109 source, emitting 740 MBq when i bought it.
Maybe it’s like measuring the detonating fuse and give them matches:

This misses the information your secret hand gives you about the other player's chances. In poker if I got an Ace in my hand the chance of the opponent having an ace lowers.

If I got somebody wearing a black coat, this has no impact on the chance of my opponent having a black coated passenger.
I think shuffle sharding is beneficial for read-only replica cases, not for writing scenarios like this. You'll have to write to the primary and not to a "virtual node". Right? Or am I understand it incorrectly? I just read that article now.
They never said the device was worn out. The battery is and can be easily replaced.

All batteries degrade when you subject them to 1000 full recharge cycles.
Yep, some unfinished philosophy if you're into it: you can imagine that our universe at a moment of time has is just a giant geometric shape, then at the next moment the universe somehow changes into the this new shape. How does this change happen? Some believe it's a computation according to a rule/s, some that it's not a discrete change but a continuous equation that changed the shape of the universe from one to another. Basically you can imagine the whole universe as a long-exposure photography in 3d and then there is some process that "forgets" almost all of it leaving only slim slices of geometry and changing from one slice into another. This forgetting of the current slice and "recalling" the next, is consciousness, the time-like process. And it looks like the Big Bang was like matter converted to energy (or "space converted to time") process. The final falling into a giant black hole will be the reverse: energy converted to matter (or "time converted to space"). Some say electrons are like small black holes, so we potentially experience the infinitesimal qualia of coming into existence and coming out of existence, because we are sufficiently "time-like" and not too much "space-like". I'll soon write a blog post ;)
You can zoom the screen anyway.
The device is fine but the battery is worn out after some 1000 full discharge/recharge cycles.
Look at Venezuela.

Chavez was kind of a thug, but he was also immensely popular with the commons. The people supported him, in a lot of his goals, and he was able to have a light touch, on a lot of the authoritarian stuff.

When he stepped aside, and Maduro took over, Chavez had established what was basically a dictatorship, and Maduro took the reins.

However, Maduro does not have the base support that Chavez had, and has had to use the stick a lot more. That sort of sets up a negative feedback loop, where more stick, means unhappier people, pushing back, which needs more stick.

Even if the current GOP really does have the best interests of the people in mind, if they dismantle the checks and balances, it's highly likely that a successor will use the power badly.
That would have been great to include with your initial comment instead of seemingly picking at nits and then making inflammatory comments.

Always love the use of a dagger though, I don't see them too often online!
They did the modem because it's actually cheaper for them. They already bought the Intel division and had engineers work on it for over 5 years, so it's already sunk costs at best. Since they came up with a working design, it is FOR SURE cheaper for them to use it than to buy something from Qualcomm.

I'm a bit suspicious about this, because if it was truly great, they would have waited longer to advertise it as a must have feature for their "pro" devices.

It's sort of beta testing the thing on the lower volume product with less tech literate people who won't complain too much because of some weird connectivity issues.

If it performs, Apple is going to make even more money on the next round of iPhone, not that Apple needs any more money but you know, if that could stop them from increasing the price, that could be nice.
I do this with unused HF radios!
The reborn Fisker only inherited the brand name, everything from design to manufacturing was entirely new. In hindsight maybe they brought the curse onto themselves...
> it seems to me that authoritarian governments are generally quite unstable, because power never stays in the same hands.

Well, it depends, the Kims and the Chinese Communist Party have been in power for almost 80 years. We do have a lot of history of pre-democratic regimes tho, and many of those lasted longer than modern the democratic states.
I did the research a month ago.

Basically, from a "tired of US bullshit" perspective, if you can land a job in US, your best bet is to stay here as long as possible while saving as much money as possible, and ride it out. You will be better off financially if you have to move.

Otherwise, landing a remote job here with flexible work hours is the second best thing. You just have to basically solve for the Visa issue. My old coworker that managed to get a student visa and is basically enrolled in some university for like over 4 years now, so he can legally stay in the country, while working for US company, with his parents house in US as a permanent address.

Getting into FAANG and relocating can be done, but its not really that simple. You would have to find an opening overseas and be justified in moving there, or be senior enough to have a skip level manager approve it.

Otherwise, you just simply start applying for jobs. Denmark and Germany are your best bets. If you have a job offer, you can apply for a work permit, and then depending on the place there are different requirements for permanent residency, and then eventually citizenship.

Convenience and also for corporate devices, so you don’t need a company phone to get data on the go
Zurich, Munich, couple other cities often have higher salaries. Switzerland can also have low taxes which can boost your income, too, if living there interested you.
What is the point of this? To hide information for audience which in majority does not understand what these data and graphs means but they are going to assume it's meaning is what they wish to see there? So they can basically prove their points with data hidden by literal obfuscation lol.

I'm not so much sad as amazed slash disgusted. This is antivax thinking pattern.
I don’t now why the hell people want anything larger than the mini in screen size.
Bad Experience with NoCoDB
I'm not here solely to shit all over someone's hard work, but I hope that this shows up on Google somewhere when searching for open source Airtable alternatives. Currently, every reference to NoCoDB I can find is positive, and that did not match my experience.

For context, Airtable won't sign a BAA, so for healthtech it's necessary to self-host. The role that Airtable serves in an org is super valuable as an operational swiss army knife, so I wanted to deploy a tool. The two best-known self-hostable tools are NoCoDB and Baserow. After spending significant time setting up and configuring NoCoDB, then trying to deploy it, I've come to the conclusion that as of 2025 it is not mature enough for production use.

For context, this isn't open source parasitism, we're willing to pay at least hundreds of $ for something that does a good job of bridging the gap between tech and non-tech.

Using NoCoDB, I encountered a problem I was very much uncomfortable with:

1. In NoCoDB, if you create a field as a JSON and then switch to a JSONB, the entire column of data will be deleted with no warning, confirmation, or message. This migration is trivially possible with SQL with no data loss, so I assumed the case would be covered, and before I knew it I'd just deleted an entire column of data with no warning in 4 clicks. Nope nope nope.

2. I restore from backup. To save time, I try to use NoCoDB's handy CSV import feature to load the column back in, I thought. I attach my file, click submit and... an error toast with no message pops up.

I delete the NoCoDB instance. Something else will suffice, but not this.
But you need to combine it with the fact that a whole bunch of agencies e.g. FCC, SEC are now no longer considered independent from the Executive Branch.

It’s the combination of actions that makes this so concerning.
The "strong" man and his allies are the ones that crippled the legislative branch, except for tax cuts for the rich and appointing unqualified SC justices.

There was bipartisan (Republican-ish) immigration legislation with enough votes pass until Trump told people to vote against it, because he knew that he could blame the problem on his opponents and many people would believe him.

Note that none of this would be possible with Citizens United and dramatic media consolidation in the hands of a few oligarchs. ;-(
EU or Europe - two different things. But yeah, you can't just turn up and take a job - unless you've got the right to live in the country you're interested in you'll need residency and work permits. What languages do you speak fluently enough to work and socialise?
“Poker is a family of _comparing_ card games in which players _wager_ over which hand is best according to that specific game’s rules.”

— [WikiPedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker)

I don’t think I would have gone for that definition, but now that I see it, it sums up everything I’ve ever known “Poker” to be. The game is won by comparing cards you have left (meaning that Rummy, Go Fish, or Bridge are different), and there’s a wager about the game (possibly just bragging rights if not playing for money).
It was also the same founder. But the name does matter, since it's their reputation.
good luck though. my emulator is not particularly user friendly, as in, it has no user interface. i recommend simh (although perhaps not for this thing in particular).
>it would be rather strange for leading Democrats to come to believe their party is being harmed by its own extreme element if that element was non-existent or completely lacking in any relevance.

I'm not surprised. It's a neoliberal congress ignoring a platform demanding increasingly socialistic ideals. We're not aligned at all.
I think it is actually a solid choice given the startup ecosystem and generally easy async nature.
If only one could open the back and replace the battery, the thing that has been known to everybody to wear out while the rest of the device is perfectly functional. One could only dream of such advanced technology. Maybe in 10 years.
I don’t know of any clothes made to higher standards today other than boutique items made to the standards of 50 years ago.

Two devices thrown out every two years, meanwhile the 70s devices are still running today.

The new nonstick cookware is the same old technology we had prior to the cost-saving move to aluminum.

Cars have benefited from engineering gains to be sure.
Look at levels.fyi for an idea on how much you would make in Europe. Last time I checked an L5 at Amazon Berlin makes about 100k. (dont bother converting because right now EUR == USD, the GBP-USD rate is a bit higher)

The best of both worlds is if you get a contractor role based in the US with a US salary and live in Europe. You will still get the higher tax rate and as a US citizen pay taxes in the US. The Netherlands has a way to self-sponsor your visa, it's called DAFT.

What's the reason that you want to relocate to Europe? It's not looking good right now. Our economies have been stagnant for years, morale is low, division seems to increase, and there is a lot of cognitive dissonance regarding Russia and the new US presidency.
I listened to the SemiAnalysis folks on the Lex Fridman podcast: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_1f-o0nqpEI

They claimed that the fact that Singapore imports so many GPUs despite a moratorium on data centers was evidence of China smuggling GPUs. Of course it’s impossible to prove a negative, but it seems a bit disingenuous to omit the fact that Malaysia, on the other side of a river, has a growing data center industry.

The technical aspects of the podcast regarding DeepSeek, which I’m more familiar with, were accurate as far as I can tell.
> Xcode does have predictive code completion models and Swift Assist.

Clarification: While Swift Assist was announced at WWDC in June 2024, it has yet to ship. Predictive code completion is available in Xcode 16, though.
I wonder how likely that is? I suspect their understanding of their diagnostic technique is flawed, but beyond that, would a small enough group have a similarly small pool of common afflictions such that you could develop a useful body of medical lore?
"No employee of the executive branch acting in their official capacity may advance an interpretation of the law as the position of the United States that contravenes the President or the Attorney General’s opinion on a matter of law"

Any employee obeying a SCOTUS ruling is in violation of this EO, unless the President agrees to that ruling.

No EO may say that SCOTUS can override them, but no other EO blocks federal employees from obeying SCOTUS.
Everyone who lives in the city has been paying to subsidize suburban commuters for decades, at great expense to their health, lives, and quality of life. It seems unfair to say they should pay more in taxes so non-residents don’t have to pay for what they use.

Congestion pricing is a market-based approach for dividing a limited resource. Cars are just too inefficient for that many people to drive in a city and you need some way to reduce the ensuing negative externalities.
> Would love a 5G MacBook with a data plan.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ATP podcast discussion on this.

Sounds like the base assumption is Apple is incapable of having decent tethering even as they control the whole ecosystem, including special protocols in-between their product they design 100% from hardware to software.

But somehow pushing the modem in the MacBook solves this...because Apple is then good at managing transient network connections in macos, hooking to complex mesh networks on protocols they don't control ?

To my eyes Apple being unable to realize these dreamlike expectations is probably the very reason MacBooks don't have modems.
Funny enough we launched one of the first free options data tools for self directed investors in 2020. After many cease and desist letters from exchanges and price reporting authorities we grew into a company which worked with many of the top brokers in the USA.

In 2021 we set out to build an international Robinhood but we didn't have the $3m we needed to get through licensing and more importantly we had zero clue if there was any demand.

So we decided to work with TradeStation on their API and in return we could use it to MVP our idea.

That MVP grew to 16,000 customers and processed hundreds of thousands of trades monthly.

But TradeStation wasn’t totally happy. Their customers started logging in to TradeAries with their TS login and getting commission-free trading on our app. It was eating on their commissions paying revenue base which meant it was time to move out of our parent’s house.

We needed our own broker dealer license. So we went to our customers and asked them to invest in us. And they responded, we raised more than $1m via crowdfund on start engine.

So we started working to get our licenses and building software.

But we quickly came to a Y in the road.

We could either build really cool cutting-edge brokerage software OR we could build really cool cutting-edge brokerage software AND totally open source the whole project.

We thought about all the developers in our space and the hurdles we all face. We thought of all of the (80+) developers that we helped onboard to the TradeStation API.

Many fintech ideas die spending millions on market data, licensing, and infra before they ever get to launch. If we could solve that with Engine it would be cooler than just building another brokerage, so we ended up here.
It’s still a social media platform, not every action taken is some nebulous part of Musks agenda. Odds are there was an influx of posts that qualify as spam from the signal.me domain that were marked by an automatic system as spam, because they were. Suggesting otherwise is baseless speculation.
No additional fees, but the cost of the ticket is typically sky-high. In many cases the company could purchase 3 restricted-fare tickets for less than the unrestricted fare. (And also, the consultants want to get home, they HATE staying extra nights, so they have inherent motivation to catch the original flight). You'd think that management consulting firms, you know, who are supposed to be good at optimization and reducing costs, would have figured this out.
It's almost impossible to move to Switzerland if you're not an EU citizen. Intra-company transfers are pretty much the only option.
okay, where's his proof? I can provide dozens of links, many quoted from his words, about why he messed it up. That's the difference. We can support our arguments, and the few counterarguments have so many holes or outright lies. The 350b number flying around is so easy to disprove with a few minutes of research. The issue is so few spend that time to fact check.

He can't blame egg prices and inflation anymore. He's managed to mess both of those up even more in a month.
> Even if the current GOP really does have the best interests of the people in mind

Note that the Chavez/Maduro distinction you drew was not about “best interests of the people in mind” but the former being immensely popular and the latter not. The current Administration, whatever intent may exist in their minds, is very much not “immensely popular”.
The newer phones have rounded out the bezels a bit.
That’s a fair question. The game sorta suffers from a lot of ambiguity, like with the elderly. I think I just misread you because of that guy who responded to you.
My 7 year old iphone lasts almost two days if I don't do anything too taxing (i.e. video). I don't think I do anything special. I guess YMMV.
> Yes because those phones by comparison do nothing so it’s a meaningless comparison.

We were able to call with them and send messages. On top of that I mostly use browser with my current phone on comparison, while not necessary.
> implementing Ranked Choice is the best compromise.

Approval voting is the better compromise IMO. It has most of the same benefits, except that it's even easier to understand, and attacking opponents is even less valuable. You don't get as much information about opinions from the result, but you do still get more than the current system (assuming statistics are made available). You don't have to worry about people wasting their vote because they don't understand the new system, voting for only one candidate is a valid approval voting vote, it simply implies a higher threshold.
If you saw the EO today, it's pretty clear Trump does not want compromise.
LLMs already can be run on expensive consumer hardware (eg, a higher end Mac Studio), so I expect that to be quite temporary.
Agreed on this - the country is founded on a deep skepticism of government oversight. Some of what we see today is cultural blowback for those who think that core value has been lost by dems.

I'd also put out that the lessons of the Tea Party (Gingrich style) have not been lost on modern people with political goals -- a fairly small group has used the heavy party whipping that the Republicans use to become an important swing vote / caucus -- and the republican party was more amenable/vulnerable to this sort of tactic, precisely for cultural reasons embedded in the Republican party's history, governance and setup.

“authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch”

That means that if Congress passes a law with an implicit/explicit interpretation the Executive Branch can simply ignore that.

And there are no existing EOs that say Congress needs to overturn it. It has been the rule since forever that Congress makes the laws. Executive Branch implements it accordingly.
Seems like this problem, was unforeseeable, is isolated to a particular current-generation/model of server motherboards (AX2), and doesn't usually happen. I had an AX41* previously with no such problem, so it's not all AXes, just all current-generation AXes (which is all of the AXes they give to new customers, so that's no consolation).
