I suppose their services are down as, no matter what I do, all I’m getting is «I’ll get back to you with insights», followed by nothing.
It's not sarcasm. HTML is and always has been a decent format for hand-authoring documents. It's not as nice to use as markdown, but it does support more advanced use cases like coloured text.

And if you want an "archival" format that will stand the test of time it's pretty good (so long as your text encoding is readable, HTML will be).
How Meta is translating its Java codebase to Kotlin
Yes. JT8 / FT8, wspr, and then the entirety of fldigi.

To get started.

If you need more speed you need to convince me you won't abuse my ham spectrum but winlink, pactor, and some very slick 16QAM modems exist. 300baud to 128kbit or so.
From what I read elsewhere, this is the type of typical performance optimization for matrix math you would see when performance is critical. It’s just not been applied yet to this specific problem by other AI players since it wasn’t a necessity for other companies. But eventually everyone would probably end up here regardless.
On the other hand, I think this makes it even clearer that it's easy to manipulate the truth, since now more people can do it. Before, it was only a small subset of the population who had the ability to, and they were more easily believed.

That's the point of comments right? Comments are not supposed to be stand alone, they exist to provide additional information that the code cannot express fully, but no more than necessary that it becomes a noise. It's all about balance.

> If you need the code to understand the comment, the comment is a failure.

Nope, not all comments are for the public API. Some are very context-specific and can only be understood in that context. Fully providing all the excessive details in the comments that it becomes context-independent is pointless and time-wasting.
Haha! I initially wrote an immediate explanation for the punchline, but reconsidered and thought it more satisfying to keep it terse.
Your formula does not account for a few things. Recursion needs to stabilize otherwise it will collapse. You are still thinking in predefined terms and linearity.
> The format deliberately avoids precise control over display details like font selection4. Following the rule of least power, I consider this limitation a feature. For contrast, consider PDF - a format so powerful that it can run Doom.

Just pick a more relevant format for contrast to see that this is no feature! It's not like PDF is the only alternative
I wouldn't say 100% safe. I was able to abuse the JVM to use spectre gadgets to find secret memory contents (aka private keys) on the JVM. It was tough but lets not overexagerate about JVM safety.
> This seems as draconian, censorious, illiberal, repressive and "moral panic"y as the highs of repressive christian moralism in the mid 20th C.

Given what has happened to the US as a result of unbridled free broadcast of misinformation and disinformation, we definitely need more "draconian, censorious, illiberal, repressive" rules around the propagation of such media.

Moral panic is EXACTLY what's called for!

You have captains of industry and thought leaders of the governing party throwing fucking nazi salutes, and this is broadcast to the masses! Insanity to defend free speech after the country is circling a drain as a result of said free speech.
>small state is internally democratic and its government has to serve the individual

For many reasons (one being the risk induced by endogamy) it is way more difficult for masters of a small state to bar the individual from knowing what is going on outside, to escape... It fosters a healthy pressure on potential or effective abusers.

>> circumstance that illustrates the main difference in the manner in which Russians and Americans organize their respective empires. We proceed with seduction where the others use force. We assimilate the world through our goods, the others through their ideology. While the unity of the East is brought about by every Czech, Russian, or Chinese becoming a communist, the unity of the West is created by every Frenchman, Dutchman, or Italian becoming an American. This is preferable, I presume, but it spells national extinction for the peoples concerned all the same. We may say that, as Americans, they will at least be free, but so will all Czechs or Chinese once they have become convinced communists. Assimilation does not destroy freedom. It makes it meaningless.

> A prediction completely wrong

As a Frenchman or (remote) Russian origin living in China since 2017 I disagree.

Your arguments lost all credibility at Trump getting a 3rd term. That would require a constitutional amendment which just isn't happening.

Come back to reality.
Pilots have a saying: “aviate, then navigate, then communicate.” Roughly this means use your own perception and assessments of the situation to keep the plane safe, then get to where you’re going, then coordinate with ATC. The Southwest pilot demonstrates the crucial nature of this method. If they had blindly followed ATC’s clearance to land there would have been a fatal collision.

Also see Andflmsg. It supports more modulation schemes than just FSK and you can use it as a modem for your HAM radio.

Wow, that's some excellent documentation.

I was also really impressed that `make` ran basically instantly.
FFMA (Fused Floating-point Multiply-Add) is a fundamental GPU instruction that performs D = A*B + C in a single operation. This instruction is critical for matrix multiplication and deep learning workloads.

In NVIDIA's SASS (Streaming Assembly), FFMA instructions are encoded as 64-bit or 128-bit instructions with various control bits that determine their exact behavior.

When the yield bit is set the bit tells the warp scheduler that the current warp can yield execution after this instruction. The hardware can then schedule a different warp to execute, potentially hiding latency.

GPUs achieve high throughput through massive parallelism. When one warp stalls (e.g., waiting for memory), others can proceed. The yield bit creates explicit opportunities for the scheduler to switch warps.

This bit indicates whether the source registers can be reused immediately in subsequent operations. When the yield bit is set, the reuse bit must be cleared. If a warp yields, it might not be the next one to execute. Another warp might modify the register file state. The hardware cannot guarantee register values will remain unchanged across yields.

By setting the yield bit in an alternating pattern across FFMA instructions, the compiler creates explicit scheduling points where other warps can make progress. When modifying the yield bit, they also had to clear the reuse bit for affected instructions to maintain correctness. This modification specifically helps overlap two types of operations: MMA (Matrix Multiply-Accumulate) instructions: Heavy compute operations that form the core of matrix multiplication, and Promotion FFMA instructions: Operations that convert between precision formats (likely FP8 to higher precision for accumulation)

FP8 (8-bit floating point) GEMM operations have specific characteristics that make this optimization particularly effective. FP8 calculations typically require conversion to higher precision for accumulation and back, creating additional FFMA operations. FP8 reduces memory bandwidth requirements but creates complex computation patterns with promotion/demotion operations. The mention of "fine-grained scaling" suggests these are operations where precision is carefully managed at multiple points in the calculation.

The yield bit manipulation creates a more optimal interleaving of compute operations and format conversions, allowing the GPU to utilize its execution units more efficiently. Without this optimization, the warp scheduler might not find natural opportunities to switch between warps, leading to underutilization of compute resources.
Don’t refuse of course, but any workaround will be unsustainable, and you will eventually run out of measures unless the issue gets addressed politically.
The gravitational wave based distance measurements are really awesome because they are the only way to verify red shift distances. You can calculate how strong the wave should be based on the difference in mass between the two objects before collision and the combined object after and then calculate how strong the wave should be when it reaches earth. Right now the precision of the distances are only 10% but in the future when something like the Cosmic Explorer with 40km arms is built they will get a lot more precise.

I don't see that that is markedly different in function from the definition provided by Ousterhout, or at least both seem to describe to me the same concept, just using different words/terms/analogies.

>For the purposes of this book ... complexity is anything related to the structure of a software system that makes it hard to understand and modify the system.

>Complexity: things twisted together. You can count the things, and count the twists.

Presumably twisting makes things harder to understand and having more things requires a greater effort at understanding?

Not seeing that mutable vs. immutable plays into the APoSD definition --- if a system was suited to being represented by immutable collections and if the structure of the software system was designed to make use of immutable collections in its representation that would not make it harder to understand or to modify.
Huh. I'll have look out for them.

LLM-Assisted Reverse Engineering: Decoding Claude Code in Under an Hour
Trust, but verify. We should always read and understand what gets spit out anyways.

When doing something with any risk potential I first ask the model for potential risks with the output, and then I manually read the code.

I also "recreated" this tool with Sonnet 3.7. The initial bash script worked (but was slow), and after a few iterations we landed on an fclones one-liner. I hadn't heard of fclones before, but works great! Saved a bunch of disk space today.

Keep it in the format appropriate to the information. If just the text is important, Markdown is probably fine. If the structure is important, keep it in HTML. If the layout is important, PDF. You wouldn't store a Gutenberg bible in Markdown, would you?

Because I know someone else is thinking it:

> Unfortunately there's no evidence this immune reset can be beneficial for those who have malfunctioning immune systems, such as people with autoimmune disorders – and even if it was, Swart points out that measles-based treatments would only work in those who had never encountered measles or the vaccine before.
> These effects of local context are particularly significant for children from poorer backgrounds, who are particularly vulnerable to family instability, concentrated poverty, racial segregation, school quality, and curtailed interaction within social networks that may otherwise positively support development of aspirations, social mimicking, and role modeling

Is this a polite way of saying there is a problem with the culture within these social networks of people with poorer backgrounds? If not, what does the part on family instability and social mimicking and all that mean?
Do you think you might be being a touch reductive there? Perhaps ignoring factors like context, medium, the economic realities of who makes this “data” and who ends up making money off of it at their expense, the difference between mechanically harvesting data because it’s there and internalizing things through the lens of your mind and existence and making it your own… you know… pretty much everything about it except the razor thin slice of the situation you’re choosing to take into consideration? Any complex and nuanced situation can become cut-and-dried if you ignore enough.
You really think Apple's success with the iPhone is because of them manufacturing them in China? That has nothing to do with it, as hardware pricing is not why Windows Phone failed or even why Android is declining.

If anything, Apple won by playing exactly the Windows playbook with software: Embrace, extend, extinguish. I'll add a new one: Restrict. (App Store)
This article covers something early on that makes the question of “will models get to zero mistakes” pretty easy to answer: No.

Even if they do the math right and find the data you ask for and never make any “facts” up, the sources of the data themselves carry a lot of context and connotation about how the data is gathered and what weight you can put on it.

If anything, as LLMs become a more common way of ingesting the Internet, the sources of data themselves will start being SEOed to get chosen more often by the LLM purveyors. Add in paid sponsorship, and if anything, trust in the data from these sorts of Deep Research models will only get worse over time.
What would you say the difference is between Google in 2010 in China and Apple in 2025 in the UK?
I don't think that is quite right. You can hit a satellite with a suborbital projectile. The kinetic energy of the satellite is enough on its own if you hit it.
You believe that the Apple Board of Directors would allow their CEO to do that? Who do you think would make that decision?

Great! This is just another option. I still brew my own hosting for Laravel sites for the sake of manageability and security. For most people who do not have that infrastructure skill set these cloud options give them freedom from being forced to create their one IaC and deployment pipelines. This lets Laravel startups get further along. Honestly I foresee Laravel based sites displacing the WordPress space, it will only be a matter of time before services like GoDaddy and Bluehost offer Laravel hosting options.

No strength training in this?? I have been training legs for years along with runs (treadmill runs/uphill runs etc)... only problem my timing for the half marathon has gone down from 2h35 to 2h38 and then I had an accident last year which made me unable to run most of the second half of last year which has made things a lot tougher for me to train :(
I think the only way to change the decision a person or entity makes is to first understand what they are asking that person to do, and the consequences of that action.

Being unwilling to do that simply has no impact on the real world. You scream into the void.
I ran a 4000qps postgres database set to use no more than 640KB of RAM (its in the configs).

The DBA was having fun with my silly idea until Slow-Query takes 10 seconds and we flipped back over to the production systems with much more allowed memory for postgres.

My purpose was to show that Linux itself is pretty fast at caching and paging, even if Postgres was hamstrung. The db actually ran fine except for the slow queries, and we probably could have cleaned them up, too. But I proved my point.

DB was ~300GB, metal had 512GB RAM. This was in 2012.

USSR had a lot of issues, and surprisingly, the same issues are plaguing the USA today:

1. Geriatric leadership of 80+ y.o. dudes clinging to power
2. Loose fiscal policy and huge deficit. Soviets were subsidizing communist regimes around the world and spending everything on military build-up and arms race
3. Bloated and inefficient bureacracy that became its own class (Nomenklatura)
4. Inefficient economy
5. Military humiliation (Afghanistan) and industrial catastrophe (Chernobyl) that costs a lot in $ and regime reputation

Some people who believe in conspiracy theories, that Gorbachev was a Western agent, are cheering what Agent Krasnov is doing by shrinking and disintegrating the US empire

This is an utterly delusional view. No one is cheering government waste. Turn off your computer, go outside, and talk to real human beings.
"Would" versus "could" has nothing to do with why your analysis doesn't hold. If something doesn't enable people to attack a system, but is merely one of the valuable things you could get from that system, it does not jeopardize that system under Illinois law. The standard of proof for the jeopardy doesn't enter into it, because no claim of jeopardy has been made.

Again: this part of the case is settled. We didn't lose at the State Supreme Court because the court was worried there was jeopardy, but because they re-read the statute as per se exempting schemas as "file layouts".
Your words are nice but they don't provide a solution to paying the people making the $20 bills more.

We could have an amazing society if everyone was all in on "the human element", but the fact of the matter is that the "human element", verifiably, is "As much as I can purchase for as little money as possible".

Your boss wants cheap labor as much as you want cheap housing. Everyone everywhere wants everything as cheap as possible. Organic local carrots @ $6/lb are great, but not as great as the ones @ $4/lb, all else being equal (which doesn't even matter, the human element hardly extends beyond price already).

My point is that hand waving away reality under the guise of hollywood-esque black and white, good guys/bad guys is naive and childish. The world is not a movie or book. Real solutions with tangible benefits come from true understanding of how things work, not virtue signaling takes that con people into thinking capitalism is bad guys twisting mustaches and oppressed saints being exploited.

I can only imagine what a flop a movie based on everyday reality would be, where it's difficult to discern who is actually the bad guy.

They send emails to IT. The classic example of a thing you can get through FOIA is large-scale dumps of emails from Exchange Servers, which is also not something a Clerk can do themselves, but which IT staff can immediately retrieve.

Leave the "Clerk" bit of this out and just imagine you're requesting straight from the IT department. What you can do: get anything not otherwise exempt that they know how to retrieve (it usually helps to provide example commands in the requests). What you cannot do: ask them to go look around and see what they have. That's research. Research is your job, not theirs, under Illinois FOIA.
I’m getting downvoted but the truth is In California, hybrids make way more financial sense. For one, the cars themselves are significantly cheaper. With a Tesla, I definitely pay more per mile when you factor in the significantly increased registration and rising electricity costs which will definitely be increasing more after annual wildfires.
