But you know what effect that would have, yes? You (or rather the aggregate "you", i.e. the average American tax-payer) wouldn't give nearly as much to charity as you currently pay in taxes -- and that's even taking into account the fact that Americans are some of the most charitable people on the planet (in financial terms).

So people who are currently struggling, and rely on government assistance to get by? They will struggle more. People who fall on hard times, and need a bit of help to get back on their feet? Much less likely to get it.

We live in an era of unprecedented abundance. That we are unwilling, that our system is unable, to provide even a basic standard of living for all of our citizens -- that on its own is already a deep, deep, condemnation of how we do things. To go even further, to destroy the bits of aid we do give out, without even trying to replace or rebuild them?
May I ask what issue you ran into with Docker? I'm interested in Podman simply because I'm curious, but I can't think of any reason to move away from Docker besides that.
This is a great point. For example, near where I live there’s a massive Google cloud warehouse out in the middle of a field next to the highway. Inside of that warehouse there’s a separate section for servers belonging to the US government that can benefit from all the electricity contracts Google has negotiated, the physical security and fences that Google has set up, and the fiber optic cables they’ve laid.

It’s the best of both worlds, they get the decades of research Google has put into systems engineering and fault tolerance while retaining the security of having their own servers.

All of Europe is leftist in that regard. There is no free speech in Europe and even the "extreme right" parties in France, Italy, Germany or Romania, for example, are just called extremist because anyone can throw words at anything, not because they are (note: LePen the father was an extremist, the daughter is not).
That is fair enough — I guess im just salty that the UL repeatedly feels they can impose their backwards legislation on the rest of the world when they are hardly even relevant — it’s just a repeat of colonialist nonsense but on a more ridiculous level.

Legislating to break apple’s encryption worldwide was just the latest entitled insult to everyone else worldwide.
Maybe not those specific tools, but I have personal experience with finding metal tools that are thousands of years old as an archaeologist. Earthenware is a relatively uncommon find anywhere that has water because it degrades so quickly. It used to be common to build clay paths by scattering broken earthenware and letting it degrade naturally. Porcelain is more durable chemically, but it's too fragile mechanically to survive intact in large pieces in most cases. I've only ever found it when buried in situ.
Which features specifically? I can't find a conclusive list anywhere. Other than searching GH issues for bugs like: https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/issues/655#issu...

Gen z grew up hearing stories about their older cousins or even parents going $100,000 in student loan debt for nothing.

Now all of a sudden the colleges are like, well technically we can get that down to 85,000 of student loan debt for an English degree. Don't you want to come to college and have a lot of fun!

I still think college is a net positive for most people, but you seriously need to evaluate where you're at and decide what you want to spend. Unless you get into a dream school, or something extremely specific for your major almost everyone should go to community college .

The reason why is if you have a bad year at community college and you just don't want to do it, you're only out a few thousand dollars versus 20 or 30.

Second, when you're ready to transfer you should have a good idea of what you actually want to do and then you can pick a college appropriately. Optimistically you'll graduate with half the student loan debt .

You can have just as much fun going to a cheap community college, and then a cheap state school. And outside of a small handful of outliers the net results are going to be the same. If you get in the Harvard, go ahead and go to Harvard. But if you get into Billy's weird expensive private school, that's not worth the money.

Between birth rates dropping and student loan reality, we're going to see an absolute tsunami of small school closures. Which isn't good or bad, it's just a sign of the times.

While I'm ranting, I absolutely resent this notion of college being necessary to obtain an upper middle-class lifestyle. It's just not, and I know this from personal experience despite finishing college years later. You end up putting a lot of people in a really nasty loop, you can't afford college unless you have money, and you can't earn money unless you go to college. That also justifies indefinite debt loads, so what you have to go $200,000 in student loan debt. The nice salesperson said you're practically guaranteed a six figure job when you graduate!

You graduated into a bad economy and end up working at Vons. Sucks to be you, by the way Sallie Mae expects your first payment in 60 days. May the odds be in your favor.
yes, this 100% . the discounts , scholarships, etc. make a big difference. This is why a college college degree is a better deal then the doom and gloomer naysayer pundits insist. With federal student loans, you are borrowing at close to the prime rate, but for average people, not hedge funds. This is a great deal assuming you graduate. Even 'soft' subjects from middling schools confer a ROI.
I have had great luck with Directus building small/medium size apps. Keep up the good work!
Wealthy progressives in other countries put their money where their mouth is. Wealthy progressives in the US only pay lip service to progressive values because they only support wealth redistribution when it's being done with other people's money, then they magically flip and become some weird hybrid mercantilist-nationalist conservatives who insist upon privatizing gains, but only up until their brilliance fails them and they need to come beg the US taxpayer for handou- err... bailouts, emphasizing the values of the collective good as justification for forcing the rest of us to socialize their losses.

This is why Ivy League schools have endowments larger than the GDP of some micronations and are financially being run like hedge funds, while still simultaneously being supported with US taxpayer money. The progressive orthodoxy does not hold these institutions accountable for institutional greed and selfishness because of a shared cultural affinity between progressive politics and higher education, and because all of the negative externalities of the spiritual sins of selfishness and greed at institutional scale are forgiven for the virtue of being a nonprofit under the idiosyncratic, dogmatic priesthood of progressivism.

The US doesn't have progressives. We have conservatives and conservatives LARPing as progressives when it's financially convenient for them.

On a related note, this is also why Canada and the UK can make single-payer healthcare work and why the US can't. Some of those shadowy GOP dark money donors are the same faces that the public would associate with progressive thought leadership. They're following a Machiavellian playbook where they attempt to portray themselves as publicly virtuous while remaining the same soulless, greedy multimillionaires or billionaires that instinctively think from a place of unadulterated self interest behind the scenes.

The concern isn't new. I've been involved in several UK government projects that considered moving to AWS.

Each time the discussion on moving to a US based provider was a big consideration, particularly the use of managed services that involve data was a hot topic. Part of the risk assessment was considering what the consequences might be if the US government became a bad actor. It was seen as high impact but extremely low probability. Starting to look like we got that part of the assessment wrong.

I think it will take time for the impetus to move to US clouds providers to slow and reverse but I'm not sure I'd be surprised if it does happen now.

Thanks for your reply, food for thought. I take your point about uncolateralized loans, although I believe there is some interesting work going on with zero knowledge proofs that can help to assess creditworthiness without revealing sensitive information.

It's an interesting time: we're seeing mainstream adoption of blockchain and crypto technologies at the same time that shitcoin madness is trending.

The basic concepts behind smart contracts are sound and enable efficient transactions and alternative economic systems, this is why I believe we'll increasingly see major institutions adopting it.

As far as community and user empowerment and creating alternative economic ecosystems, it will inevitably take some time to realize effective systems and usage models. I think there is huge potential, still early days.

Thanks for the healthy scepticism though, I probably need more of it!

The fact that most of the IGs were fired before DOGE was given access to anything and the fact that there are no auditors involved is a strong signal that we'll find out years from now that rather than save taxpayers any money while shutting things down, DOGE almost certainly funneled a tremendous amount of money into certain individuals' pockets.

Still active, but many fewer resources than in the past. Many backends like CUDA for Windows have been dropped and others pushed off to partners with varying levels of support. TensorFlow 2.19 is going to release soon without Python 3.13 support, it's hard not to imagine that resource constraints are at play.
Question: why pro-active block some authoritarian countries like the UK, but not others like China? Is it because only the UK passes legislation that threaten people outside of its borders? Or does China do it too and we ignore it?

For the record, I only host it for myself, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have received any of the legal protections that the OSA is now stripping away, and thus geoblocking the UK wouldn't matter. But if there's something else I'm missing, please let me know.

High school, in the past, prepared people for college, so those who were not cut out already had a clear indication during high school. But due to dumbing-down and grade inflation, they now learn the hard way during college.

you can't afford college unless you have money, and you can't earn money unless you go to college.

not really. there are tons of scholarships and other assistance. hardly anyone who goes to college is writing $30-100k checks.
Is this really so novel? Engineers have been using evolutionary algorithms to create antennas and other components since the early 2000s at least. I remember watching a FOSDEM presentation on an 'evolved' DSP for radios in the 2010s.

Well, if I understand correctly, there was the option of becoming an outlaw - literally someone outside the law, which meant that the protection of the law didn't apply to you. Anyone you met was free to kill you. But you didn't have to pay taxes.

But if you want the protection of what taxes pay for - the rule of law - then you need to pay the taxes.

There is still a lot of that hope but it's also a different time. The bravery of of Ukrainians in the initial wave and the counter-offensive as unmatched. The West helped but it didn't help enough. It was always piece-mailing military equipment. With a lot of wait times and a lot of hand wringing. We gave them tanks, but no F16s at the time. We could given them AA weapons earlier and more of it. They also made mistakes, there is a decent amount of corruption, and fumbled on recruiting after those who wanted to fight joined they started sending vans with military dressed people to effectively kidnap men off the streets or their places of employment. That looks bad and make their own people fearful of the military and those men won't be fighting the same way as those who sign up voluntarily.

> OK. But Ukraine choses to keep figting. Let them decide their fate

Their fate was never really just their own after the initial resistance. Without the Western help they couldn't have lasted this long. The West both helped a lot, and not enough at the same time. It's like a friend needing life saving surgery and it costs $10k. We send him $8k. He should be very grateful for such a generous gift, but everyone knows that also won't be enough and he will likely die.
But why fake it? Mac osx has the worst ux for window management.
Good point. But either way, you can’t decide much in a bigco because most decisions are bounded to money and therefore the CFO.

And so you can say what you will, but if the CFO does not approve, your stuff is not happening.

The J&J vaccine was not "taken off the market." It was temporarily paused to investigate rare blood clot cases. Out of 8.7 million doses administered, 28 cases of blood clots were identified, with three reported deaths. COVID-19 killed a million Americans, and would have killed more without the J&J vaccine which probably prevented 5.7 million infections and—with an R0 somewhere between 1.4 and 3.28—many millions more. This information was not suppressed, it's public knowledge discussed openly in scientific and medical communities.

There is an undeniable authoritarian element to the US federal government, but when has the US ever backed a "leftist" coup in a foreign country? There's no coherent "left" movement in the US. No socialist party.

Really, your victim mentality—fed by baseless conspiracy theories—is absurd, and your promotion of this harmful rhetoric endangers innocent lives. The US is a a police state, but not a meaningfully "left" one. It's a republican oligarchy.
> AI models have, within hours, created more efficient wireless chips through deep learning, but it is unclear how their 'randomly shaped' designs were produced.

IIRC this was also tried at NASA, they used some "classic" genetic algorithm to create the "perfect" antenna for some applications, and it looked unlike anything previously designed by engineers, but it outperformed the "normal" shapes. Cool to see deep learning applied to chip design as well.
Because he can face legal consequences for breaking the (local elsewhere) law. The US do the exact same, look up FATCA.

Uh, "tribbing" is a sexual act that women can do.

that's how i figured it out, but:

Yep people miss this a lot I think. The commuter trains used to be literally littered with discarded newspapers. Now it is a novelty to see one at all as people read things on their phones instead. People just don't like being bored (funnily enough).

We didn't live in some utopia before smartphones and 3g where everyone was nice and spoke to the person sitting next to each other in genuine conversation for their entire journeys. People were still selfish and rude. If a stranger (cluse is in the word there - strange-er... And that word has been around longer than phones) struck up a conversation with you on the bus or train you changed seat or carriage at the EARLIEST opportunity even then.
I'm still reading the paper, but my main question is how slow is the model compared to LLM of the same size. It seems like to get the best accuracy they need to set number of time steps to the number of tokens to be generated. Does it make it comparable in speed to an LLM?
I know, it looks impossible. Javascript is not a very performant language, mostly because of its single-threaded model. So if I tell you we’re going to compare 1.8 million votes in a fictional city election, right into the browser, you’ll probably think I’m crazy. A browser would freeze and crash — every time. Guess what? You’d be right. But with the right techniques — efficient memory management, a streaming architecture, web workers, and batch updates — you can do it.
“Cut all of it” is a lazy and exceptionally dangerous response.

There are an enormous number of government services for which the benefit to society is straight multiples of the cost. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater is an phenomenally efficient way to make sure we all suddenly start paying more.

For a blindingly obvious example, see universal healthcare (or more specifically, our country’s lack of it). As the one developed economy without it, we pay multiples of what other people do for worse results. Consider me not particularly enthusiastic about finding out what else we can start paying more for to receive worse results.

> The fact that DOGE is only focused on the items it has access to is not a logical critique of DOGE’s effort.

Of course it fucking is. Just like it is, was, and continues to be a valid critique that California asking residents to cut back on water use when the aggregate of all urban use counts for about 8% of the water is a pointless waste of time, resources, and political energy.

Instead of actually tackling deficits and government spending, they’re putting on a show while cutting to the bone extremely valuable services we rely on. NOAA and FAA are critical for air travel. NASA, the NSF, and scientific research funding in general are critical for our continued technological dominance and for attracting the best and brightest to our country. The CFPB has done incredible work in protecting individual consumers from the worst of banking practices. The parks service, USFS, and everything else under the department of the interior protect our remaining natural spaces which can never be reclaimed once lost.

This is just a microscopic fraction of what’s being dismantled in front of our eyes, and all for the “benefit” of pointlessly saving relative pennies.

For fuck’s sake, as a high-earning, wealthy taxpayer: tax me more. And anyone who’s in the upper echelons of our economy that isn’t saying this while seeing the conditions the rest of our country and world live in is unbelievably narrow-minded, ignorant, selfish, straight up evil, or more likely a combination of all the above.
