I networked a 6502 a while ago in order to capture some behavior that isn't well documented.

You can interact with it using a wasm-based assembler in your browser. Programs only get 100 cycles to run but that should be plenty if you just want to poke around.

It looks pretty obvious (I think):

1. S2 is a 7B VLM, it is responsible for taken in camera streams (from however many of them), run through prompt guided text generation, and before the lm_head (or a few layers leading to it), directly take the latent encoding;

2. S1 is where they collected a few hundreds hours of teleoperating data, retrospectively come up with prompt for 1, then train from the scratch;

Whether S2 finetuned with S1 or not is an open question, at least there is a MLP adapter that is finetuned, but could be the whole 7B VLM is finetuned too.

It looks plausible, but I am still skeptical about the generalization claim given it is all fine-tuned with household tasks. But nowadays, it is really difficult to understand how these models generalize.
Sure but I wouldn't even call it "something good" at all. The government is owned by the people and must work for the public good. One critical function of that is limiting exploitation of the people by business and preventing the hoarding of wealth and power by a few.

Continuing: the solution is "people power". Everyone should join a union, for starters.
>Can you be more specific about how you’d define bloodbath

Sure, there's 3 vectors I'm looking at here.

Legislative:

- The government shuts down for 3 or more days before deciding a budget. 1990 shutdown was the most similar situation (which includes Medicaid cuts, but ironically enough was trying to raise taxes) and lasted that long.

Executive:

- Trump vetoes the budget more than once. 1990 as a reference once again, H.W. Bush vetoed the 2nd proposal , once total.

Judicial:

- Trump and congress decide on a budget but judges intervene on the allocation. I'm not sure if this ever happened, but I couldn't find any accounts. So I'd say involving all 3 branches qualifies

---

- I'll also lump in any significant attempts at violence or death (natural or otherwise) over any politicians involved in such budget debates as part of that (the most literal "bloodbath" possible)

Those seem like fair enough criteria?

>How much would you like to bet? Is 20k a good number?

I'm sadly still a part of an extended job search, so I have no real money to bet. But if this was 2022, I'd probably put 5k onto it in terms of confidence.

Simple - youtube doesn't suck!

Even in 2025 every other streaming site is unwatchable because of video buffering, videos not loading, and other hiccups in service that make it annoying as hell to use.

99% of websites in general suck, and the ones that don't get millions and billions of users.

Arrogant programmers think their products are great and they are geniuses, but in general 99.9% of their work is glitchy unusable trash and going nowhere.

Say what you want about youtube, it simply works better than anything else.
The American who went undercover in Ukraine, for Russia
Unless they radically edited what they said after you replied, I’d say the approach they favor necessarily includes understanding the fence. It’s a bit rude to just lump them in with “folks like themselves” as an ad hom.

Even as a left lib who thinks the primary purpose of a government should be to pool money into public good, I doubt all the fences that are up are there for good reasons anymore. Questioning them in a careful and rational manner is healthy, and I wish it were done more. Wanton destruction like we’re seeing now isn’t.

I think that’s in line with what your parent comment was saying too. They might be more surprised than I would be as to how many fences are justified, but it sounds like they believe it’s important to check.

Hey because I don't feel like making a phone call to my BSD expert, is that a flag? Like in Gentoo it would be like

USE="debugger" emerge -vaD bochs #portage reads env and will set flags this way or in /etc/portage/packages.use/bochs (folder name packages.use is arbitrary and I'm old school.)

Curious if BSD is like that too and I am way to tired to attempt to search for it with correct words...
So true. It's a damn shame what DOGE is doing to the government I paid for.

Tearing it down and replacing it with something leaner, faster, better (fingers crossed) is just nonsensical libertarianism all over again.
I think it's premature to rule this out. Trump has previously abused government agencies to harass his opponents, so why wouldn't he and Musk use IRS data for this purpose?
Though it doesn't matter how fervently you believe. The universe doesn't care.
> Those relationships are burned.

That's the bigger point. This is the destruction of the United States as a viable partner, today and for the future. It's the most anti-American thing you could do, which makes you think how much of this is incompetence and ideology and how much of it is compromise.
If you're upset about the deterioration of rule of law under Trump, I have some bad news for you about Mexico.
You can, it's just harder, sometimes.

Very roughly spoken, the older the platform, the "weirder" stuff that happens at runtime gets in order to make the best of the measly hardware.

I'm looking at a many decades old C64 game right now, and the way I'm doing it is by having taken a memory snapshot when the game was in the state that I'm most interested in at first.

Starting with just the "binary" on disk would be much harder, since there's so much code that just loads, decompresses, initializes overlays etc. which isn't particularly interesting from an actual game logic point of view (though may be very interesting for other reasons), and only exists because the whole game just doesn't fit into all of memory.

There's also a bunch of loading and overlay magic at runtime of the game, but by looking at a snapshot of the game in the state that interests me, I don't have to dive into that (yet).
So THAT'S where NASA filmed it!!
Linus doesn't like ADA much, and the talent pool is FAR smaller and also FAR older on average. The compelling reason to use Rust over other languages is precisely that it hit escape velocity where others failed to do so, and it did that partially by being accessible to less senior programmers.

And I don't understand how you can go from opining that Rust shouldn't be the only other option, to opining that they should have waited before supporting Rust. That doesn't make sense unless you just have a particular animus towards Rust.
Atonement for Emilia Perez
This is where the libertarian approach always falls apart. "ideally" this and "ideally" that. In the real world however libertarianism is a ridiculous fantasy which will harm everyone except the very rich.
The question of which federal laws to enforce is indeed controlled by the president. That's already normal and has been used by many presidents to de facto change the law (e.g. weed non-enforcement, various immigration amnesties). But that's got nothing to do with court orders.

Also, everyone knows that they're more likely to get messed around as a government employee now, so the market rate has gone up. It is now more expensive to hire people for the same roles.

Farming changed radically after the 1950s, so pretty recently. It's pretty reasonable to believe it will. If you've been anywhere near mega livestock operations of any kind then you would know.
It's not surprising, really: web components suck for having highly-customizable inputs.

1. You get HTML attributes to pass data in, or JavaScript properties. If you're in React, you'd just use a React component and skip web components. If you're in vanilla HTML, you can't just write HTML, you have to build the component with the DOM.

2. There's no real standard to making web components look the way you want them to. You can't just use CSS (you have to have the shadow root "adopt" the styles). Your point of "make it styleable" is actually one of web components' biggest weaknesses (IMO).

3. Web components are globally registered. React/Vue/Svelte/etc. components are objects that you use. You end up with a mess of making sure you registered all of the components you want before you use them (and not registering the ones you don't use) and hope no two packages you like use the same name.
> Fascinating area to work in!

I agree! Lots of fun stuff to do.

> What's the driving use case for Starnix?

The Starnix code is open source like the rest of Fuchsia and anyone is obviously free to read it and form their own opinions about where it's useful or where it's headed, but as a mere corporate employee I can't comment on direction/strategy :(.

> How complete in app support do you currently consider it compared to something like WSL1?

I'm only familiar with WSL1 as an occasional user so I can't really say for sure.

We run (and pass) a lot of tests compiled for Linux from the Linux Test Project, gVisor's compatibility test suite, and some other sources. There are still a lot of those tests that we don't yet pass :).

> What are your thoughts about why WSL2 went the opposite direction?

I don't know much about the history there. I've heard Nth-hand rumors that MS had a product strategy shift from Windows Phone Android compat (a relatively focused use case where edge cases might be acceptable) to trying to court developers (a broad use case where varying from their deployment environment might cause problems). I have no idea whether those rumors are accurate.

I've also heard that it was hard to make Linux programs perform well on top of NTFS, and that virtualized ext4 actually worked better for Linux workloads where fs performance mattered at all. Something something dirent cache for stat()? Some of this is discussed on the WSL1 vs WSL2 web page[0].

Yes, this is all true, but the monopoly part is YouTube was supported by Google search profits for most of its existence, which its competitors don't have. The good part is YouTube is a really good service (ignoring their handling of gun related videos), the bad part is there are no viable competitors. If you like (legal) content they want to limit, block or otherwise hobble, you don't have any other great option.
> Is it cheaper because the infrastructure is going farther

Yes, that's exactly it!

> or because every individual is getting less and less of an overburdened commons?

No, it's not that at all. Why would common services be overburdened? Everyone still gets their water, sewage, electricity, internet, etc., but it's far cheaper to provide per-person.

And with the density you get to build public transit, so people aren't burdened by having to necessarily own a car.
Would be interested in reading more about this claim, but it is not true for my suburb which raises plenty in development fees and property tax.

Having a fast moving and inefficient government is what attracts people to the US! To live and invest there. Fast moving governments can destroy things, make them unpredictable and unstable based on the whims of a few.

“ In a letter to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that the federal government has jurisdiction over highways leading to Manhattan and that the additional tolls posed an unfair burden for motorists outside the city.”

However that seems like a dubious claim (Google results report the highways around Manhattan are operated by the state of NY, however New Jersey is adjacent).

With all due respect, because there are nice ideas in this, a wider Bond Cinematic Universe is the wrong direction. There is already a very established "BCU" in the film progression, and I believe that the cultural significance of that would be diluted, not enhanced, by adding side quests to the story.

Alternatively, to look at it from the perspective of your spec script, what about your spec script is enhanced by it being in the BCU. Ignoring the leg-up it would get from that, what is better about the story for it being Bond, over a new franchise? From what you've written here, nothing jumps out to me as benefitting from being Bond. Similarly, how are the Bond films improved by this? By having a missile deactivated by off-screen magic that you need another streaming subscription to watch the back-story of?
Dystopia usually conjures up a neon bright towers of an overwhelming big city. I've been to Atlanta too and I quite liked it. Low density, lots of green space, decent public transit (MARTA). Lots of interesting neighborhood variability.

Identifying what the collateral damage would be, planning to minimize harm done, and identifying replacements for the functionality prior to replacement reads to me like an exact application of the principles recommended by Chesterton's fence rather than apparent ignorance of the concepts https://www.chesterton.org/taking-a-fence-down/:

> There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

If you still see it so differently I'd like to better understand some more of the reasoning why.
> If the rich commit tax fraud, put them in jail.

I feel this doesn't happen as often as it should. I don't even think the IRS is catching enough wealthy tax cheats. The GOP has traditionally cut funding to the IRS which lowers their audit rate and/or limits their audits to those to the less wealthy. (Since going after the really wealthy requires a lot more work.)

I'll add every dollar of IRS funding nets many more dollars of taxes--if we ran the government like a business (for the sake of argument) we should invest a lot more into the IRS. It's free money.

Approximately how long does it take to collide a CRC naively? I'm guessing there's a trick that makes it faster, these days?

It takes my computer on a single core about 7 minutes to find a nonce for an arbitrary files sha256 to prefix the left side with 4 or 5 zeros (like bitcoin difficulty doubling). Obviously the heat death of the universe would occur trying to collide sha256 on a single core, but CRC - Gemini says it depends on the algorithm, but crc 32 should take about an hour to collide, but it didn't specify "any" or "arbitrary" collisions, but mentioned "any" right before that. So if the most probable sentence after "any collision" is a time estimate, with the logic of LLM implies that's the easier case of any collision.
Why should it scale with GDP? GDP growth represents more goods and services produced.

If GDP doubles and you go from $1 eggs to $2 eggs, GDP didn't actually grow or you are being swindled.

Expenses for a fixed goods and services should decrease as a percent of GDP over time. If they don't, that means spending is less efficient over time.
