> If power stays in the same hands, the system can be very stable - and not in a good way.

I don't think it actually can be that stable. I think I see what people are getting at when they say this, but it seems to me that authoritarian governments are generally quite unstable, because power never stays in the same hands. Power always changes hands, because we are mortal. Non-authoritarian systems are built to handle this, and ensure that it happens frequently enough that the wheels stay greased. Authoritarian systems are built around ensuring that the concentrated power stays only in the hands of certain people, and this is not possible.

To put it another way, non-authoritarian governments have less variance because they are taking some (very) rough average of all the people. Authoritarian governments are much more subject to the significant variance of individuals.

Of course we don't actually have that much historical data on non-authoritarian governments.

I was in a similar spot, but then I got a free battery replacement through Applecare [1], so I've stuck with it.

And none of those roads exist within the congestion zone.

In fact, as long as you remain on the highways (The West Side Highway and FDR drives -- both of which are local/state roads) on the periphery of the zone, you pay no fee.

Which makes your argument completely specious since there are no Interstate highways within the confines of the congestion zone.
In all fairness, it's clearly that the Right has split over the past decade. There's MAGA which is as you describe, then there's your traditional conservative that simply wants to support small business and get tax cuts (among other things that comes down to "I want more money and control over my town/state"). There is definitely a question to ask on if all conservative congress has really shifted that far or what, though.

The left has also more or less split as of late between socialism and neoliberalism too. But that's a whole other conversation.
You can do it a ton cheaper, depending on how pretty you want it to be. Like, you can scrounge up the materials for a coop damn near for free, and you shouldn’t need $100/m in feed if they’ve got an outdoor run with grass and you feed them kitchen scraps, unless you’ve got an absolute shitload of them.

Most folks do get upside-down on it, but it’s because they want a cute instagram-ready coop or substitute money for effort. And they aren’t willing to butcher and eat them after a couple years when they stop laying consistently.

Handle your chickens like country folk and you’ll do ok. Handle them like suburbanites, maybe not so much.
I agree, and it feels like JS is just the wrong runtime for agents. Really languages that can model state in sane ways and have a good concurrency story like Elixir make much more sense.

And here’s a fun exercise: ask Claude via Cursor or Perplexity with R1 to create a basic agentic framework for you in your language of choice on top of Instructor.

What should I expect from moving tech jobs from USA to Europe?
11 yoe Senior Software Developer here, I'm working at a non FAANG job, 180k. I'm looking at moving to Europe in the next few months. The salaries look about 1/3 of what I make, and yet the cost of living seems to be the same with higher taxes. While I'm willing to sacrifice that to move, I'm wondering if there's a best of both worlds approach? Perhaps get a FAANG job and relocate first day? It would be nice to just keep my job and work remote late nights, but I think I need a work visa to live over in Europe , and that needs to be sponsored by a European company. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Actually I like "hmf" despite my usual distaste for the dilution of "ph" to "f". The "ph" in "hmph" seems incidental, so it does not trigger me, I guess!

It's not the same France, but 1938 France, along with England came to the Munich Agreement with Italy and Germany to let Germany annex part of Czechoslovakia, despite France and Czechoslovakia having a mutual assistance pact.

Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances doesn't seem to have gotten them much in the way of territorial integrity either.

If I were bordering Russia or any other state that seems interested in expanding its borders, I'd be concerned that international agreements might not deter such expansion and wonder what could be done. Obtaining the means for MAD seems reasonable, although the costs are high and perhaps unjustifiable.
>So New York City doesn't get to impose tolls on a Federal highway without the federal government's agreement? That sounds... actually reasonable.

And they aren't trying to do so. Unless I'm missing something important. Please explain where, within the congestion pricing zone (From 60th street to the Battery, there are Federal highways.

I'll save you the trouble: They don't exist.
Nothing they are doing even takes very much skill at all. It's literally reading records and actually looking at them. That is exactly what wasn't being done before.
This sums up as ranging from multiple LLM calls to build a smart features to letting the LLM decide what to do next. I think you can go very far with the former but the latter is more autonompus in unconstrained environments (like chatting with a human etc.)
Annotations do many things.

Sometimes --in Spring Boot-- they hook different systems up with eachother: this makes the framework very "magic". I really dont like that: I want to be able to CTRL-click my way to understand how everything works!
AI killed the tech interview. Now what?
I don't know. A first year philosophy question sounds like a great things to push a LLM to answer though.
The hard part is not the modem design per se.

The hard part is designing a good modem while also unambiguously working around all the Qualcomm patents in all the jurisdictions that have iPhone, which is all of them.

Because if you don’t do that, you’re still paying Qualcomm which defeats an important purpose of making your own modem.
> I have a hard time imagining these APT attacks are manual at the keyboard typing.

(My perspective on this comes from doing security assessments and pentests 10+ years ago. Take that for what it's worth.)

I think of it a little bit like robotic vs. human space missions.

A robot can gather a ton of data without human intervention. It can perform repeated mindless activities. A certain amount of contingency against unforeseen issues can be engineered-in. Beyond the point of expected anomalies, though, the robot is going to fail (and perhaps expose your operation).

When it comes to reacting to rapidly changing mission conditions nothing beats a human in the loop. It's really hard to plan for all the peculiarities of any given environment. Intuition and experience play an immense role. Most of all, though, you may only get one shot before you're detected and stopped.
Yes, but non-peer threats like North Korea are a growing concern.

I've seen powerpoint slides about GMD / Aegis / THAAD and press releases about successful tests. I'd imagine that's the threat profile they hope to cover and I imagine they have less internet hype than SPRINT simply because the good videos are all still classified.

re the Wireshark analogy: the reason I used that was because: (1) Subtrace operates at roughly the same level in the operating system stack, (2) has similar capabilities, (3) has an overlap in use-cases, and (4) has been the most effective at communicating what Subtrace is in my experience so far. I can see why the analogy is not a perfect 1:1 mapping (obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.com/624), but naming things is hard and taglines are just names in idea space :)

It's still the hosting company's responsibility to competently own, maintain, and repair the physical hardware. That includes monitoring. In the old days you had to run a script or install a package to hook into their monitoring....but with IPMI et al being standard they don't need anything from you to do their job.

The only time a hosting company should be hands-off is when they're just providing rack space, power, and data. Anything beyond that is between you and them in a contract/agreement.

Every time I hear Hetzner come up in the last few years it's been a story about them being incompetent. If they're not detecting things like CPU fan failures of their own hardware and they deployed new systems without properly testing them first, then that's just further evidence they're still slipping.

Last year I went to the hospital with a suspected broken foot. They xrayed it and told me it was just a sprain, but that "interestingly" I had an extra bone in my foot. I walked as much as I could for two weeks, went back for a second appointment and was told it wasn't a sprain (or an extra bone) and was in fact broken in three places.

It's good to know they accidentally gave me good medical advice.

> You are arguing: “Why should Google care about wasting 25% of their compute costs?”

So your estimate is that 25% of Google's compute costs are spent on terminating QUIC connections? I'd be very curious to hear how you arrived at that estimate.

Is that estimate excluding time spent on encryption and networking, as per your other posts?

> Having done the majority of a QUIC implementation myself, achieving (on the non-encryption portion) 10 Gbps (1.5x faster) seems trivial, 30 Gbps per core (4x faster) seems straightforward, and 100 Gbps per core (15x faster) looks possible.

100Gbps goodput with typical internet MTU sizes will mean about 10M ingress packets per second on the receiving side. That gives you a time budget of about 100 nanoseconds per packet, i.e. a single cache miss takes up the entire budget. Just computing a hash for the 5-tuple to look up the connection in the socket table will be like 10ns.

> But apparently these are state of the art implementations so now I am trying to figure out if anybody knows the specific reasons for the performance disparity.

It would be a performance disparity if you had a working implementation that was as fast as you claim, but as far as I can tell you don't have one yet?

It's mostly just interesting to me that they did away with the username entirely and they instead have users connect exclusively through shared secrets like they're Diffie and Hellman.

It's definitely a very gray area within Apple's policy. Shorebird (Flutter OTA updates) describes it best in their FAQ (https://docs.shorebird.dev/faq/#does-shorebird-comply-with-a...).

It seems to be as long as you don't significantly alter the primary purpose of the app, then it's "allowed". But that's a very broad interpretation and puts native Swift apps at a huge disadvantage.

According to DOGE:

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. DOGE has always used the correct $8M in its calculations.

Eventually, Apple (and 3p developers) will abandon you, and you'll need to throw away a perfectly good phone and take another step on the treadmill.

Apparently DOGE are the ones that did it first. DOGE were the ones to update the value to the $8M from $8B that was incorrectly in the system.

You are missing the point.

These types of "budget" phones that Apple does are for people who can't/won't buy the flagship (because too expensive) but wouldn't buy something second-hand either.

There are a LOT of people like that. It is not rational at all; they would rather buy something shittier for their money than get more value. My grandparents are like that.

To buy in the second-hand market you need to have some knowledge about how phones compare in the first place, even if you use a platform that minimizes the risks.

So, it's not the same market at all, and Apple is pushing their luck even more with a pricing way too high for what is essentially a 3 years old phones at best (the chip makes little difference to the typical user of these phones).
