"Excel" is a file format, but my point is that if a schema is a file format, so are the contents of an Excel spreadsheet.
The trick with burning optical media is the disks themselves can physically fail with time. I have a huge archive of various burned media from the early 00's and a number of them have developed literal holes in the material over the years. If these holes hit data tracks, the files on those tracks are lost. If you're burning to optical media, you should probably be checking them regularly for degradation.

California spends $4.7B in general fund revenue on the UC system. Tuition is a bit more than that, but it’s paid by students for their personal benefit so you can’t just repurpose it because some billionaires want tax cuts.

https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4862

That covers everything from paving roads and mowing grass to paying for their pension system and monitoring for wildfires, so the proportional increase for research funding would be even larger than it sounds because federal funding has been the backbone for that since WWII.

While you’d be looking at a significant increase in tax demand for them it’d be much worse for almost everyone else because California is also the richest state in the country, almost twice as rich as the second (Texas). There’s no way that isn’t a bloodbath for American science.
There are a lot of dimensions of appropriateness. For example it's inappropriate to respond to a question in English in Swahili, unless explicitly asked to. Or it's wrong to output complete gibberish.

The model seems to have generalized the specific type of appropriateness it's trying to avoid into something similar to "being good".

It wouldn't. I'm just assuming that the thrust of the hypothetical negligence accusation was "The schema is useless unless you have SQL injection holes. So give us the schema or admit you are negligent!" But you're correct that there are other justifications one could make to keep the schema secret.

My problem with UB is that by promoting his brand and his style so much to junior developers (in both subtle and fairly overt ways), he's warped the mind of a lot of people in a way that effects them for a long time and the people around them. I don't really have anything personally against UB, but dealing with the code that one of his acolytes creates is deeply frustrating and often they claim it's "best practice" even though there's basically no validation around most of his claims and if you read the criticism, they're fairly common sense.

The fast-forward is on branch A. I'd like the git pull to also fast-forward branch B (and branches C,D,Etc.).
They're usually by other devs, I don't usually check these, but when I do, I could save an extra command when switching if git just moved the branch head with the data it already has.
It varies from dog to dog though just how much of a lever it is, or how necessary it is.

There's other dogs who won't do anything unless they get a tasty treat out of it.

That market, "repairable modular desktops", is extremely saturated. This only exists because nobody was putting the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in anything, so they got gifted the entire market of "GPUs with more than 32gb of RAM that aren't Apple."

The amount of long term damage that is actively being inflicted to the scientific research community alone because of Elon’s crusade all but guarantees that I will never buy another Tesla. The one I have is a great car but I don’t want to be targeted by extremist groups on any side and I don’t want to financially support the economic and social collapse of my country. Elon and thus Tesla is rightfully being labeled as an enabler. If their board agrees, they’ll do the right thing and choose a new CEO.

I’m still a strong supporter of EVs but I’m frustrated that EV owners still pay at least as much for electricity and registration as ICE cars pay for gas (in California). Hybrids still make more financial sense in California.
> Realizing that I spend more time troubleshooting than I do building or doing ...

That's not good. The problem with troubleshooting is that it messes up with your reward system. After you fix a hard-to-debug problem, you feel a sense of accomplishment. Which would be ok, but the problem is that this sense of accomplishment is often time higher than it should be. You go home at the end of the day thinking "well, today I didn't build anything, but it's fine, because I fixed that bug". You are becoming complacent.

If you end up saying to yourself, like the author of this blog here, that you troubleshoot more than you build or you do, then you have a problem. Soon you'll be seen by others as a car mechanic. Maybe a reliable car mechanic. But reliable car mechanics don't get paid a lot.

This might be a controversial take but here it is: being proud of your troubleshooting skills sits somewhere between being proud of your typing speed and being proud of your word document formatting skills. These things never go obsolete, but don't fool yourself into thinking they are gold currency on the job market.
I was hoping to learn more but many of the docs.geldata.com links on the GitHub page are 404 right now, mentioning just in case nobody has reported that yet.
Love Quarto. I write all my notes, presentations, blog posts, memos, etc in .qmd files. For non-technical stuff I use Obsidian to author (there is an extension which tells Obsidian to treat .qmd as ordinary markdown - ie ignoring the additional Quarto frontmatter and so on), then for everything else I use VS Code with the Quarto extension and just render out to the display format I need. I really appreciate that it’s built on Pandoc and it means I can just use one format and one set of tooling for everything.
> Even self-hosting isn't foolproof - your content can vanish when you forget to pay for hosting

I know what they mean - "running applications that you maintain and deploy yourself, on hardware/platforms that you don't" - but this is strange, to my eyes. If it's running on someone else's hardware (whatever it is), then it's not self-*hosted*, surely? It's self-owned, but not self-hosted?
A good DBA would restrict the account so that it can't access the information schema. It's easy to imagine an environment with a vigilant DBA and less vigilant web developers.

I have a hunch that's a problem unique to the way ChatGPT web edition handles PDFs.

Claude gets that question right: https://claude.ai/share/7bafaeab-5c40-434f-b849-bc51ed03e85c

ChatGPT treats a PDF upload as a data extraction problem, where it first pulls out all of the embedded textual content on the PDF and feeds that into the model.

This fails for PDFs that contain images of scanned documents, since ChatGPT isn't tapping its vision abilities to extract that information.

Claude (and Gemini) both apply their vision capabilities to PDF content, so they can "see" the data.

I talked about this problem here: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Jun/27/ai-worlds-fair/#slide....

So my hunch is that ChatGPT couldn't extract useful information from the PDF you provided and instead fell back on whatever was in its training data, effectively hallucinating a response and pretending it came from the document.

That's a huge failure on OpenAI's behalf, but it's not illustrative of models being unable to interpret documents: it's illustrative of OpenAI's ChatGPT PDF feature being unable to extract non-textual image content (and then hallucinating on top of that inability).
I would add tables to that. Obsidian has some nice extensions to make working with tables easier, but it always feels janky.
A losing public body is also generally on the hook for attorney's fees, which can be considerable. But the general problem here is that the public bodies are all spending someone else's money, so the real deterrent you have is how much of their time you can credibly threaten to eat up with legal actions.
Another factor, presumably, is that people at the low end of the income spectrum simply don't have any time to socialize because simply surviving takes almost all of their time and what is left is simply exhaustion.

Many parts of the world are experiencing very extreme income inequality as more wealth gravitates towards the top. I suspect this is happening almost everywhere but it definitely seems to be the case in the US, Canada, the UK and (to a lesser extent, perhaps) in western Europe. With the bottom 50% of the population just barely able to survive it's not at all a surprise that social activities and opportunities are going extinct.

I think socializing really is a luxury not afforded to most people. The folks in the top 50% of income live in a very different world from the bottom 50%

There's a parts vendor who charges pretty high prices and a small, insular community that thinks his prices are just fine and bid everything up to that level as they try to acquire (many) duplicates of systems they already have, which results in a high barrier to entry for people interested in doing things with SGI systems.

Reminds me of that joke about the guy who is on trial for killing a bald eagle, and he tells the judge that it was a life-or-death situation: He was lost in the woods, and after several weeks without food he luckily happened upon a bald eagle that he managed to trap and eat to avoid starvation. The judge says, “Well, in that case, we can let you go. But tell me, what does a bald eagle taste like?”

“Oh, sort of a cross between a spotted owl and a California condor.”

Switzerland has a strong permit system allowing the government to control who can purchase a firearm. Automatic firearms and concealed carry permits are given sparingly and only for a good reason.

The more I learn about Kepler the more I believe that he alone advanced humanity several decades or possibly centuries. His incredible drive to prove his own theory, and then his ability to put that theory down and to match one to the evidence, oh man. I've loved his story since the Carl Sagan Cosmos episode on him sniped me as a kid, but I get just as excited about it in videos like these (part one of this series explains how Kepler determined the orbits of the planets).

If you want to be deeply inspired, read about his life, his book Somnium, what happened to his mother. It's all so profoundly motivating.

For interest, in California in the USofA,

By 1979, long after the peak of the 1930s eugenics movement, California sterilized an estimated 20,000 people, deemed unfit to reproduce, without their consent. The practice ended in 1979 for state hospitals and in 2010 for state prisons, when eugenics laws were finally repealed.

An exposé from The Center for Investigative Reporting in 2013 revealed 148 women were sterilized without proper approval from 2006 to 2010, and a separate state audit found that the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation oversaw the illegal sterilization of 144 inmates from 2005 to 2013.

( from: https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2023/03/force...)

shows that eugenic type sterilization procedures continued after the laws allowing them were repealed in 2010.

Yes, I realise that "the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation" isn't an "asylum" but given the nature of modern US mental health treatment there is now considerable overlap.

What is more recent and alledged to be ongoing is unconsented abortions and sterilizations in ICE centres, eg: https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/reproductive-abu...

( there are multiple ACLU articles about different aspects of this ).

One thing that's interesting about the attention economy is -- I feel like Musk's biggest risk is someone taking the attention away from him. It puts in context some of the crazy attention grabbing things celebrities like Ye have done, and Musk's purchase of Twitter.

I'm working on a small project for managing settings in Golang.

I found that boilerplate code needed for handling defaults, environment variables, and CLI variables could become unreasonably large and error prone. I just wanted to have a struct hold the settings needed for the project, with sane defaults, helpful messages, and handling of environment and CLI variables at the same time.

So I created Settingo.

Settingo is a unified solution to handle defaults, environment variables, and CLI arguments. Settings are a boring aspect of a project, and Settingo will allow a dev to focus on the project.

Stephen Jay Gould said: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

This quote really drives home the point that the overwhelmingly vast majority of scientific discovery and progress throughout history has come with humanity's entirely self-inflicted handicapping, like a V8 engine running on only 1 cylinder. Can't help but wonder what our knowledge here in 2025 would be like had we, as a species, tapped into our full potential by empowering women and people of color (to name just a few categories) earlier. You can almost see it in action with the people mentioned here as time went on.

1. I notice that it seems to look at all files in examples, then opts to scan examples/react/start-basic-auth/src/main.tsx, then says "I apologize for the confusion" and seems to move on to something else (lines 13-22). What happened here? This happens again on line 77.

2. It looks (lines 25 to 37) like it has difficulty actually working with source files, due to file size. This seems to happen several more times in the h3 section (line 85). It might be worth building something like Aider's repomap to handle larger files.

It does seem to get to a useful conclusion without a lot of looping around, so overall it looks promising!

> This only exists because nobody was putting the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in anything... And then a desktop because fitting this in a laptop is hard (hence why nobody else is doing it, either)

The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 was paper launched a month ago. What Framework announced here is just another pre-order (even batch 1 won't ship until Q3). There are dozens of other systems, including mini-PCs, announced months ago which are set to launch before this. Small laptops were actually the first 395+ products to launch, hence this month's benchmark reviews all used them. E.g. https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/laptops/gaming-laptops/a...

I would not be surprised if one will be able to get a full 128 GB 395+ mini PC for less than the cost of the Framework Desktop baseboard before the Framework Desktop actually starts arriving in hands. What you're buying here is a premium to be able to replace the shell and front USB ports.
