From TFA: White House principal deputy press secretary Harrison Fields said: "Democrats and the mainstream media have once again gone off the deep end with their breathlessly inaccurate reporting on President Trump’s widely popular mission to rid the federal government of waste, fraud, and abuse.
"DOGE has effectively become part of the USDS as a component of the White House, and any leftover career bureaucrats who don’t align with the President or DOGE are neither advised nor welcomed to be a part of this never-before-seen mission to make the government more efficient," Fields added.

This reads like a press release from North Korea or the CCP.

Xonsh is a fantastic shell. I literally think they are most hindered by the name at this point, since it's one of those clever names that are pronounced in a peculiar way and one that doesn't convey too well that it's really Python + sh in a beautifully consistent design.

It's very easy to switch if you're willing to spend 30 minutes to go through this talk about its design by the author:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaje5I22kgE

After this short intro you will know how Python and shell interact within xonsh and you'll avoid surprises.

I wish it started faster, but it's a really small price to pay for having Python 3.13 open literally at all times.
> If it's worth saving

Idk, I think if it's worth saving it's worth saving and the only person who can determine if it's "worth it" is me.

I agree that some people have an obsession where they save data that isn't worth it, but r/DataHoarder is a great place with a lot of information on building and maintaining large data systems for hobbyists, regardless of what you actually store.
Its not a slippery slope, its carte blanche for a police force with a reputation for e.g. beating elderly people to death because they looked at them wrong (most famous being Ian Tomlison, but its fairly regular) to not have to hold back just simply because they run into a locked door.

And that is before you get into the court system, which if you need a quick primer, just look at the treatment of Julian Assange - and thats a "best case" for someone with millions of global supporters.

Uk police have targets to hit, they can't hit those targets going after real criminals, so they predominantly target people nieve enough to think they want to help them.

Of course they had to make running public forums a crime.

I think Deep Research shows that these things can be very good at precision and recall of information if you give them access to the right tools... but that's not enough, because of source quality. A model that has great precision and recall but uses flawed reports from Statista and Statcounter is still going to give you bad information.
Its pretty simple management style....ask what employee did last week. If you don't like the answer then fire them.
And that's fine, but they're solely yours. 57% of US citizens support expanding the military.

Further you have no evidence to back up your claim that anything outside of the Air Force and nukes are all that are required to properly deter threats.

I would imagine that you also have no credible evidence that "Anything else being developed is for political suppression or fueling regional wars and imperial bullshit."

If you don't want to be involved in developing weapons then that's fine, nobody is forcing you to do so. To claim someone as anti-ethical because they chose to do so in a legal way may be your opinion but surely not a fact.
> Meanwhile I can pump out hundreds of lines a weekend on my own free software projects and actually feel like I'm getting things done.

I can relate. It's sort of "Hell is other people." I work very effectively on my own, but the scope is limited. Big things require teams.

I realize how fortunate I am, that I could afford to retire. I don't have as much money as I would, with another ten years under my belt, but I should be OK.

It absolutely stuns me, that young folks are getting paid more out of school, than I made, in my entire career, and have less to show for it.
The Models Don't Matter Anymore
I wish it were that easy easy. I'll go more into this specific question in my post, but the short answer is that FOIA does not statutorily require the creation of new records in response to a request. The gov agency creating a description of the data in response to the FOIA request would be creating new records. It's silly.
Indeed, they even file with the SEC to say WHEN their system starts/ends every year. Investor relations website probably spells this out quite clearly, too.

2011 is long after the major price drops of the 90s and early 00s, where demand kept increasing with price drops. Not only that, but every few years, you could buy a computer that was a few times better than the one that preceded it at a lower price.

PC sales began to drop in 2012 due to the iPhone and iPad causing people to not need PCs as much. Improvements in PC technology had also started to slow and would reach a crawl a few years later. All of this meant market saturation. Supply and demand still apply, but increases in sales volume from lower pricing are much more limited than they used to be.

For anyone who does not remember, on May 7, 1997, Intel introduced the Pentium II at 300MHz at a cost of $1981. On March 8, 2000, Intel introduced a the Pentium III at 1000MHz at a cost of $990. It was roughly 3 times faster on average, while being half the price of the older processor that launched less than 3 years prior. The performance had jumped so much that unfortunately no one seems to have included the two chips in a comparison. Anyway, no three year period in 2011 onward had performance jump so much with pricing halving. The closest was the Ryzen 7 1800X to the Ryzen 9 3950X, but the performance increase was more tame (~2.5x best case compared to ~3x average case) and the price went up by 50% instead of halving. However, you can see similar improvements if you go further back in time, such as 3 years before the Pentium II launch to the 100MHz Pentium (I cannot find how much that cost sadly).

This is exactly where I'm at now. I honestly don't care about PC upgradability anymore. I buy a new cpu, motherboard, memory and gpu all at once, and I'd be more then happy to just buy it all as one integrated unit. And fan noise is also a BIG deal for me.

Between consoles and macs/macbooks, the writing is on the wall and cpu+cpu+unified memory is the future for performance. I will absolutely be looking at buying one of framework desktops instead of building a new PC soon.
What's frustrating is there's no real reason why regular DDR5 can't reach 1TB/sec with a sufficient number of channels. The manufacturers are just holding it back to drip feed that memory bandwidth over several generations. Except for Apple, which lets you have 800GB/sec now, and will let you have 1TB/sec+ in M5 Ultra next year. It's $$$$, but still - the true alternatives are much less cost effective.
I don't understand the argument that knowing the column names doesn't help an attacker? Especially in a database that doesn't allow wildcards, doesn't it make things much easier if you know you can do '); SELECT col FROM logins, as opposed to having to guess the column name?

And I don't think I disagree with the court on schema vs. file layouts either. It's not the file layout, but it's analogous: it tells you how the "files" (records) are laid out on the "file system" (database tables). For example, denormalization is very analogous to inlining of data in a file record. The notion that filesystems are effectively databases itself is a well known one too. How do you argue they aren't analogous?
Exactly - the liability risk is huge, and relying on them not enforcing the law because they say they are 'unlikely' to on small sites is not a risk any sane person would take.

The statement above is that one would expect Framework to have chosen a platform which does not require soldered RAM, not that Framework kept such an option by choosing this AMD part.

All that aside, I absolutely can't wait for desktops to decide to go the same route of having 4 memory channels instead of 2. Right now the only way to have >2 channels is to buy workstation/server class stuff or an APU.
Isn't the answer milk first, then let sit? You only have 2 minutes, so if you're adding the milk after 2 minutes have already elapsed, then you've already exceeded the time limit, meaning the final measurement would take place before the milk is even poured in.

I mean, these things aren’t static. Python may be the second most popular language (behind JS/TS) today, but what if elixir takes over 10 years from now? There is no need for browsers to implement every language-of-the-day.

Additionally, browser JS adheres to a quite strict backwards compatibility requirements. Python can and does deprecate and remove APIs, and I would imagine the community would not like to lose that flexibility.

WASM is probably the best bet here, in that it provides a well-specified low-level target, such that the door is open for other languages for anyone who is allergic to learning/using javascript.
Things are even worse for intelligent life.

Because we only could understand et with similar to our level of sci/tech development, but what if we encounter civilization, even one magnitude older than our?

For example, now our science have evidences about human civilizations up to somewhere 10k..50k years, and our current civilization oldest evidences are about 5k years. Imagine, how could look our civilization in 500k years?

And if we use adequate considerations, human life was appear on Earth ~ 500 thousands years ago, and before was possible reptile civilization, for about 10 millions years, but our Earth become life planet ~ billion years, and exist planets in other star systems, which are tens billions years older than Earth.

So what I mean, in our 5k years our civilization decided to re-circling resources and probably in ~ 100 years we could implement this decision and will become invisible to ets of our level.

Imagine, what technologies would be available for magnitude older civilization. Could someone be sure about possibility of detection so much newer technologies?

You may hear classification of seti scientists as Cygnus, Cancer and Pike. What I want to say, civilizations younger than our are detectable for us, but older are detectable only if them decided to contact us.
Exactly.

Why would you rewrite (parts of) Cargo from Rust to something that runs on the JVM, when you can use Wasm as basically an intermediate target to compile the Rust down to JVM bytecode?

Or how about running something like Shellcheck (written in Haskell) on the JVM as part of a build process?

You can see the same idea for the Go ecosystem (taking advantage of the Go build system) on the many repos of this org:

Not sure how much "trust" I actually need there. It's mostly convenience for me where it's easy to kill results from websites you never want to see again. This process allows for getting terrific results real quick after you start using it.

On top of that it's pretty fast and the price is right.

No, the proposal is that there is a power of entry where the police have reasonable grounds to believe stolen property is on the premises and that this is supported by tracking data and that authority to enter is provided and recorded by a police inspector.

This is analogous to s18 PACE post-arrest powers, grafted onto s17 PACE.

The alternative is that we continue to require police to try and get a fast-time warrant while plotted up outside a premises; this is not a quick process, I've done it and it took nearly two hours.

The article leads with these Key Points:

--Tesla shares sank 8% on Tuesday and have now lost most of their gains that followed the election in November.

--The stock has plunged 25% this year, while the Nasdaq is down just 1.5%.

--Reuters reported on Monday that the company’s long-awaited upgrade of its partially automated driving system in China left owners unimpressed.

$479 in Dec to $302 now but steadily dropping from $426, since Jan 20.

I confess I am skeptical that "that the company’s long-awaited upgrade of its partially automated driving system in China left owners unimpressed." is a primary driver here.
It's one thing to buy something from someone who is the face of the company and gives a couple dollars to some fairly unlikable candidate, but something else we have going on now.

Very unpleasantly interesting times.

> As with all LLM output, all of these things are presented in the same fluid, confident-sounding style: you have to know the material already to realize when your foot has gone through what was earlier solid flooring.
Right, and that's what you use to find the vulnerability. But imagine you've found the vulnerability and now you want to use it to update all of your parking tickets as paid. Without the schema, this is going to be quite tricky and will generate a lot of failed SQL. With the schema, you might be able to do it on your first try.

As someone who works in cyber security but has dabbled in coding in the beginning of my career, I think its just like having an improved search engine.

I don't need to Google search a particular issue in the hope that someone else had the same issue and someone had a solution. I don't need to wade through unprofessional comments on forums.

Having an LLM is almost like having a tutor I can ask questions, even silly questions. I can ask it to make inferences between particular mistakes and I can dive deeper. I can also supplement the LLM with Google searches. I can ask it to reframe code if I want it to or help me fix certain mistakes, or understand particular concepts better.

I'd be excited if I was going to University and had coding subjects knowing I had an LLM I could ask for help.
Tangentially related but what does a “Radeon 8060S” mean? I’m so confused what the memory bandwidth is and how much VRAM (I think it’s shared?). I was gonna buy a M2 studio for local LLM but this seems like a good choice. But I can’t figure out what the token/s would be like. I have Qwen2.5 3B running on a Mac mini M1 and it’s not great. Slow and gets stuff wrong. If I can get the 14B running with a response time below 3 seconds for Home Assistant, it would be perfect.

Edit: found it, 256 GB/s for the shared memory bandwidth
Forgot to add: multiple threads ... multiple DBs ... multiple topics on more than one kind of message queue ... hitting and serving REST endpoints -- all no problem for the REPL and the debugger[0].

If the thing was in Java, each fix attempt would mean waiting for startup and state re-creation. And each successful debug could have meant multiple sessions (vs visiting any mix of spots in a single recording)

> These days, he often looks for some kind of STEM background for the IP desk. It’s not necessary, but it helps. Bill Toth, the IP clerk during Oracle v. Google, didn’t have a STEM background, but he told me that the judge had specifically asked him to take a computer science course in preparation for his clerkship. When I asked Alsup about it, he laughed a little — he had no recollection of “making” Toth take any classes — but he did acknowledge that sometimes he gives clerks a heads up about what kind of cases are coming their way, and what kind of classes might be useful ahead of time.

Note that it's not necessarily the judge that's important as an individual knowing the material, but that the clerks who work for the judge are.

Universities don't do research. Individuals affiliated with the university do. The usual deal is that the individuals own the results. If they want to commercialize the results, then the university (and possibly the funders) get a share. But the vast majority of academics don't do that, because commercialization attempts mean certain bureaucracy and uncertain gains. Most just want to talk about their results freely. Many even talk about preliminary work and preliminary results openly to make it less likely that the eventual results will be patentable.
Wow, never autopush all your tags. What a terrible idea! Once a tag escapes into the wild, it's so hard to ever get rid of it. Pushing a tag should require two people turning keys simultaneously or something, honestly.

zdiff3 is also NOT some kind of generic improvement over diff3, like swapping diff algorithms is sorta a generic improvement. It behaves very differently; if you have

then diff3 shows

I have to put a complete one in every project. I work with a lot of junior devs. On many occasions they're committing too much - cause they a) don't have good global config and b) are not selective about git add. A teaching opportunity but annoying to clean up.

Yeah, looks like it works fine, here's an example: https://pastebin.pl/view/a10aea3d

I'll add: FLAME is probably a great addition to pythonx. While a NIF can crash the node it is executed on, FLAME calls are executed on other nodes by default. So a crash here would only hard-crash processes on the same node (FLAME lets you group calls so that a flame node can have many being executed on it at any time).

Errors bubble back up to the calling process (and crash it by default but can be handled explicitly), so managing and retrying failed calls is easy.

PyTorch had the "first thing that didn't suck" advantage and now it has a completely dominant marketshare that prevents better alternatives from emerging. Where it sucks (e.g. on macOS) there are popular alternatives. But it's hard to be enthusiastic about a DL framework in 2025 which does not have native high performance quantization support, for example. Or one where FSDP is crudely bolted onto the side. They say "usability above all else", but I consider such things to be major usability deficiencies, which need to be addressed. But because PyTorch does not have to fight for marketshare, it'll be years before we see anything usable there.
