Can perhaps someone suggest some resources that are, uh, less advanced undergraduate? Is this possible? Or perhaps just the resources for the prerequisites themselves? Like, what's the route from "not advanced undergraduate"?

I'd much rather type questions than ask them. Being able to review what I've written before I hit send gives me a sense of control lacking in voice interfaces.
Which R-Tree Rust library were you referring to?
I use Firefox containers for meta controlled domains. I don't trust third party websites to not pass information to Meta or meta to not be greedy. So, a complete absence of meta related cookies and other cruft is the best defense against that. I mostly stopped checking Facebook. I have a few things with social logins tied to Facebook that I open in the same container that I can't be bothered to untangle.

I've de-activated my instagram account ages ago. I just have no interest in what happens there. People sharing images and short videos just annoys me mostly. So, I'm happy to let people entertain each other over there without distracting me. In the same way, I have zero interest in tik tok, youtube shorts, and related nonsense from competitors. My life is rich enough without that.

Whatsapp unfortunately remains a necessary evil because that's what most people I know seem to insist on using. I mostly use it in a browser tab because I hate typing on mobile phones. My thumbs keep hitting the wrong tiny keys. If I type 3 letters, 2 will be wrong. I probably should move whatsapp to its own container. Thankfully it remains ad-free so far (or my adblocker is just that good, hard to tell these days). I think meta mostly walked back controversial plans to do something about that.
Voice is the most dense form of communication? Maybe if AI does stt perfectly all the time, but then the reverse, tts is really not very efficient for me; I read far faster and can do a fast skim (taking milliseconds) to see if the answer is in there or reprompt instead of having to listen to the slow warbling of something/someone only to conclude it was worthless. Oh and tts, at least for me, is not perfect; it often gets things wrong making the other side return nonsense too.
Sure some users would keep the CA active out of fear, while everyone paying digicert would also begin to move out of fear.. What portion of the strange sort of sites that couldn't figure out how to get off but could figure out how to renew would bother with paying for a different error message?
In what world can this tech be spun in a good way? It’s over for them, at least for their startup at the minimum. The aspect of squeezing metrics out of workers is intrinsic to what they’ve built.

They seem to be rich kids, so I half can’t blame them for having a disgustingly warped moral compass, but this “startup” is trash and cannot be saved.

Hopefully this motivates them to actually do something positive for the world.
I'm working on Somleng (https://github.com/somleng) - an Open Source alternative to Twilio, that's being used to save lives by powering the National Early Warning Systems of Cambodia and Laos.

We're also building OpenEWS (https://github.com/somleng/open-ews) which will be the world's first Open Source Early Warning System Dissemination Platform.

We're a small 2 person team trying to make a big difference.
Why do you want 4000K? Incandescent/halogen are 2700k/3000k, and sunlight is 5000k. 4000k is flourescent, and I don't think anyone wants lighting to look like that. That said, if that's what you want Lowes has it (technically 3500k at CRI 90) https://www.lowes.com/pd/GE-Pro-60-Watt-EQ-A19-Bright-White-...

Also, only the absolute cheapest LEDs have noticeable flicker. Decent ones have big enough capacitors to make it un-noticable.
What works well for me at the moment is to write 'books' - i.e use ai as a writing assistant for large documents. I do this because the act of compiling the info with ai assistance helps me to assimilate the knowledge. I use a combination of Chatgpt, perplexity and Gemini with notebook LM - to merge responses from separate LLMs, provide critical feedback on a response, or a chunk of writing, etc.

This is a really accessible setup and is great for my current needs. Taking it to the next stage with agentic assistants is something I'm only just starting out on. I'm looking at WilmerAI [1] for routing ai workflows and Hoarder [2] to automatically ingest and categorize bookmarks, docs and RSS feed content into a local RAG.

Please define "open borders", and tell me which politicians support that. Certainly neither Democrats nor Republican consider it part of their party's goals:

"Trump has inaccurately accused opponents from both parties, but especially Democrats, of supporting open borders, claiming they would allow "criminals" and "terrorists" to enter the U.S. undeterred. Democratic leaders have pushed back, pointing out that they support secure borders, and as Sanders said, wanted comprehensive immigration reform." - https://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-open-borders-poverty...

While we know that the Republican donors Charles and David Koch support open borders, as the Newsweek article quotes: "I would let everybody in who comes here to contribute, and no one who wants to come here to do harm".

Open borders are what we have between the states. Open borders are like between England and Scotland.

Very few places - Svalbard being the only one I know of - have open borders where anyone can enter the country, without visa or other permit, and even become citizens that way.

I don't think any major political party has that sort of open border as a goal, left or right.
The executive power, as being laid out in the Constitution. Not all executive power. This is plainly clear by appointments requiring approval of the Senate. If the "executive branch" were meant to be a singular top-down command structure, then such approval (or ability to impeach) would not be required. This push for an authoritarian command structure is one pillar of what makes the term "fascist" appropriate.

I was not talking about the accountability of individual employees according to the law. The accountability I was talking about was the mandate for an agency. That was set by Congress when they created the agency, and can thus be clarified or changed by Congress at any time.
> All it will do is increase the lack of trust in centralised PKI in general.

“In general” is a broad statement, given that the overwhelming majority of people using the Web PKI have no idea that they’re doing so. DigiCert is not a legible part of the value chain for the average users; they won’t notice that the sites they use switch CAs. This strong disfavoritism towards vendors is arguably one of the Web PKI’s greatest strengths.
It's a figurative speech, obviously its a spectrum where some believe that AGI is around the corner or that all this is nothing more than some overblown statistics exercise and LLMs have nothing to do with actual intelligence.

In my opinion, this generation of AI is amazing but isn't it.
Some of the latest models have focused on this and their results will surprise you. Much more emotional, real time reactions.

I recently learned that there is a free community edition of Solid Edge: https://resources.sw.siemens.com/en-US/download-solid-edge-c...

According to the History of CAD Solid Edge originally came from Intergraph. Many packages/kernels seem to have changed hands over the course of decades.
I wonder if you're working at a company that does this - management can require an answer, and require you don't talk about things.

But this is the government, and there are probably all kinds of laws at play here. People can probably talk openly about it.

I wonder what would happen if someone replied with top-secret information in their reply?
Trans women are men that suffer from an unfortunate condition. We need to accept this. Trying to gaslight people into denying basic reality created a backlash that was partially responsible for giving us Trump.
The technology is still extremely young and immature. As models get better, it should be possible to build tools that allow manual annotations to tweak how much emotion and expressiveness goes into what's being communicated, and eventually it should be possible to fully automate a first pass at this which produces passable results.

In any case, I think the biggest win is that tons of books which have never received audiobooks now have the option of getting a way better alternative than legacy TTS tools. Even if current TTS tools are a bit limited, they still feel like a massive leap in quality from what was available a few years back. Making it trivial to generate better audiobooks will help make tons of information more accessible to people.

The choice of audiobook is rarely going to be between a professional actor and TTS, but between no audiobook at all or a TTS version.

Neither of your articles have any proof or evidence the $20 million funds to Bangladesh are real. It's just what Trump claimed off the cuff.

Trump is a known liar. It's why his supporters are always telling other people not take him literally

They lied about $50 million for condoms in Gaza, just like he lied about Haitian immigrants eating pets and the dozens of other lies he spews out daily.

DOGE has posted a ton of lies about what they saved and cut, including contracts that were already canceled or completed, and including amounts orders of magnitude off.
Trade your labour for capitalism. Own the means of production. This translates to: build a startup.

AI doesn’t care, the people using AI care. If you really write for other people, I’d recommend you reconsider blogging again.

Even if you write primarily for yourself (vanity, marketing, client acquisition, there is nothing wrong with that) and not for other people, I’d still recommend you publish your stuff. Not publishing will have always <= effect than publishing, even if AI slurps it up.

> So if someone is 60+ year old, chances are that most of his work has never been open sourced,

John Ousterhout is 70 years old and one of the open source pioneers. We don't know what Uncle Bob shipped or did not ship but his friendly opponent in this discussion definitley did ship high profile projects.
The example they use is irrelevant. A solved problem can be written how ever one likes.

Code that will change or can’t ever be considered final, is the real challenge.

Overly cutting code into methods makes code just rigid.
This could be the point, I guess, but if you need to change the methods name in order to reflect the methods intent, than you just wrote the classic unhelpful comment of:

// check a is not null

if (a != 0) { … }

Overuse of comments has the same issue as overuse of methods.

Without rigor, comments and methods names will start to lie.

Because their content / name weren’t necessary to understand the code.
And should just not exist in the first place.

The system has specific, well-defined checks and balances. For example, Congress can limit the executive’s control over spending by enacting specific appropriations bills with concrete line items. But it hasn’t done so for decades. It has done things like appropriate single $1.7 billion line items for USAID, leaving it to the executive’s discretion how to spend it with only the vaguest guidelines. Congress having done that, it’s not for say the courts to “check” that by insisting that the executive can’t exercise all the discretion Congress provided it.

And your point about immunity is misinformed. The Supreme Court held that the President has immunity for official acts. This is a no-brainer. You can’t sue Congressmen for their official acts either, or judges.

If the President didn’t have immunity, Georgia prosecutors would be able to indict and convict Joe Biden in some red county in connection with the murder of Laken Riley, on the theory that Biden recklessly or negligently opened the border leading to her death.

To the contrary, in a modern, diverse country, it’s not tenable for the same people to keep running the government in the same way regardless of who wins elections. That was okay when we had a more homogenous, slower-changing country with widely shared values. That’s untenable today.

Maybe it is like with Mozilla. You send money to Firefox development, but it pays for Marxist get-away conference in Africa.

Once academia gets rid of bloat, there will be far more money for science and engineering!
As well as change orbital characteristics (apogee, perigee, inclination) at reasonably low cost, enabling closer observation of specific portions of Earth, or of objects in space.

Burns at closest approach (perigee) have the largest influence on total orbital characteristics. Burns at furthest approach (apogee) can raise the entire orbit if desired.

(Or so I understand.)
Wow, lot’s of negative responses here on voice. I’m a reader. I read. A lot. And I still think 4o’s advanced voice mode is unique, extremely useful, and I dearly wish we had open models or even some closed competitive models that were as good as it.

I will note that the model has been successively nerfed, massively, from launch, you can watch some demo pre-launch videos, or just try out some basic engagement, for instance, try asking it to talk to you in various accents and see which ones Open AI deems “inappropriate” to ask for and which are fine. This kind of enshittification I think is pretty likely when you are the only one in town with a product.

That said, even moderately enshittified, there’s something magic about an end to end trained multimodal model — it can change tone of voice on request. In fact, my standard prompt asks it to mirror my tone of voice and cadence. This is really unique. It’s not achievable through a whisper -> LLM -> Synthesizer/TTS approach. It can give you a Boston accent, speculate that a Marseille accent is the equivalent in French, and then (at least try) to give you a Marseille accent. This is pretty strong medicine, and I love it.

There’s been so much LLM commoditization this year, and of course the chains keep moving forward on intelligence. But, I hope Ms. Moore is correct that we’ll see better and more voice models soon, and that someone can crack the architecture.
That's a file context problem because you use cursor or cline or some other crap context maker. Try Clood.

Unless "anthropic high usage" which I just watch the incident reports I one shot features regularly.

At a high skill level. Not front end. Back end c# in a small but great framework that has poor documentation. Not just endpoints but full on task queues.

So really, it's a context problem. You're just not laser focusing your context.

Try this:

Set up a context with the exact files needed. Sure ai "should" do that but it doesn't. Especially not cursor or cline. Then try.

Hell try it with clood after I update with 3.7. I bet you, if you clood file it, then you get one shots.

I have a long history of clood being a commit in my projects and it's a clood one shot.

I don't see how your reply is related to my comment.

I was not defining democracy. I was describing the common real-world usage of the term, which has a more specific meaning than simple majority rule. It is commonly used as a shorthand for "liberal democracy". Some Americans use "republic" for the same concept, but that's misleading in other ways. Partly because some countries that are commonly understood to be liberal democracies are constitutional monarchies. And partly because some actual republics (such as North Korea or the member states of the former USSR) do not match the concept particularly well.

I was also not talking about any specific constitution, but constitutions in general. They all come with implicit and explicit assumptions that must hold, or the system will not work as intended. If some entities are supposed to function as checks and balances to each other, they are expected to remain independent. If they choose to collude instead, nobody is capable of stopping them if they decide to twist the constitution beyond recognition or outright break it.

I said that a constitution on its own is worthless. That means a constitution cannot enforce itself. There must be some people who are capable and willing to enforce it. But if they are capable of enforcing the constitution, they are also capable of breaking it. Which means there must be other people capable and willing to act as checks and balances. And so on. The system may work as long as those people act within the expectations, complying with both the spirit and the letter of the constitution. But if they reject the expectations and start looking for loopholes to take advantage of, they may find some. If that becomes too common, the constitution becomes worthless, because the people who are supposed to enforce it no longer believe in it.

To my understanding, the point of Honest Achmed was to demonstrate that it was possible to write a facially reasonable and compliant CA inclusion request that was also intuitively unacceptable. It successfully demonstrated that the inclusion policies at the time needed to be made more rigorous, which they were.

> there seems like a real, risky issue in the idea that a company's customers can use the legal system to block the company from complying with its obligations to other entities

As Digicert has repeatedly explained, this is simply how the United States legal system works. Courts have broad and indisputable power to issue temporary restraining orders, and the parties to a case must comply even if doing so violates some promise they made to a third party. (The point of the TRO is to maintain the status quo while the court figures out details like what promises have been made to who.) People in the PKI community who believe that some carefully written policy would enable CAs to reject an invalidation TRO, or convince a court that they cannot issue it, are wrong.

The reason it's never come up before is that no CA had previously attempted to enforce a widespread 24 hour revocation caused by its own error.
You've given a detailed rundown like you've been following, so what is your sense about the resignation? Did the guy resign willingly, or is Digicert the kind of management that likely scapegoated him?
This is great. I really think that having a theme to iterate on is the best way of revisiting coding/math skills and learning new ones. And building things from scratch is so much more rewarding than snapping parts together. My free time right now is trying to rewrite 90s screensavers down to the rasterizer level, without consulting anything for how to do stuff like antialiasing.

One little note, just checking out your loan calculator: On my phone, the total interest div is cut off at the decimal point, and the total payment overflows the nice round rect holder. You could dial in the font size scaling with a bit of custom Javascript there. They stand out, too, because they're bottom line figures.
>In what world can this tech be spun in a good way?

Plenty of possibilities.

We'll see!

PS. What's up with all these crappy throwaway accounts? We are not discussing anything even remotely delicate, lol.
Given the constraints of reaching orbit, surviving reentry, and cross-range capabilities there's a general lack of variability in spacecraft design. Some of us are old enough to remember promotional/propaganda materials concerning the original Boeing X-20 "Dyna-Soar" engineering designs from the 1950s which strongly resemble the subsequent US Space Shuttle, the Soviet Buran orbiter, and the Boeing X-37B and X-40:
