Survey shows 65% of organizations are still establishing their AI foundations
I think various parties have managed to frame political discourse in America as an us vs. them, ingroup vs. outgroup, purely partisan sport. All that matters to people is that their team scores points and the other team loses points. There are no real principles or foundational beliefs, evidenced by how easily people flip their opinions on issues depending on who's acting on them. Biden using Executive Orders? Bad. Trump using Executive Orders? Good.

It's just a game, and winning the game feels good.

What I did find there was:

This report’s estimates and projections of foreign-born residents in the U.S. comprise both legal and unauthorized immigrants. However, the numbers for each status group are not broken out separately except where stated.

As an aside; useful data:

Number of births in the United States from 1990 to 2022 https://www.statista.com/statistics/195908/number-of-births-...

( ~ 4 million per annum, now fallen to 3.5 million per annum )

Births were to foreign-born mothers (2000 - 2022)

In 2000, 21 percent of births were to foreign-born mothers, according to data from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. This number has fluctuated slightly throughout the years, peaking at 25 percent in 2006. It decreased to 21 percent in 2021 before increasing to 24 percent in 2023.

It's important to note that this data does not differentiate between illegal and legal foreign-born mothers and includes mothers from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

The president's tariffs are not wholly reciprocal to foreign tariffs.
You just described two sub-steps of:

> They want to be free to control the market

1. One of the tell-tale signs of regulatory capture is when the Government's efforts do little to control/limit a corporation. Like when they end up relegated to 'middleman' between the corporation and consumer.

2. Regulations that serve as a 'moat' against competition is the carrion call for free markets. Capitalism thrives on competition. If the only competition they face is what they allow, then they have no incentive to innovate and create value, only maximize the value they already have.

The counterpoint to #1 doesn't mean that we don't need to trim the fat... but there is a MAJOR difference between what businesses and the average–joe consider 'fat'.

That is what I think is so scary about this, there is no chance Beelzebub's idea of a free market matches my own.

Its interesting to see so many conspiracy theories pop up on a more left-leaning site.

The last 6-8 years has largely seen democrats deriding republicans (or MAGA specifically) for sharing unproven claims of a deep state, pedophile rings, etc. Now we're seeing a growing list of conspiracy theories related to what and why the Trump administration is up to.

The theories may even be right in the end, that does happen. They're just currently based on speculation and presumed intent.

> There were studies where it seemed like even looking at an egg would cause your cholesterol to sky rocket and kill you.

Except there really weren't studies, and this is why the nutrition "science" was so bad back then. A sibling comment mentioned a study in rabbits and points out the obvious problems with making conclusions based on a herbivore, but the general belief was that since high blood cholesterol was linked with heart disease, eating a lot of cholesterol is bad for you.

When they actually did to the studies, they found that the vast majority of people do not get high blood cholesterol from (reasonable amounts of) dietary cholesterol. There are apparently a small subset of people (like 5% or so) who are particularly sensitive to dietary cholesterol though.

That was why nutrition science in the 80s/90s should be such a cautionary tale. So much of it was bad science, or more charitably there were "reasonable" hypotheses that were presented as government-sponsored "facts" that turned out to be false when they were actually tested.
I found it fascinating how this discussion dovetails with the discussion around free will.

In both cases, defining the actual thing under discussion is hard. If you can accurately predict a decision in advance, is that "free will"? If an organism reacts to a stimulus in an appropriate manner, is that "intelligence"?

In both cases, we're complex chemical organisms doing all of this with complex chemistry. If we rule out souls and spirits and similar, then it's just chemistry.

If we're following a predefined set of chemical rules in response to a set of stimuli, then how is that "free willed" or "intelligent"? The arbitrary line between tropism and intelligence seems very arbitrary.

But on the other had, we are made of meat. We experience free will and intelligence. We think, and make decisions, seemingly unrestricted by the method we use to do that. We are clearly intelligent, and clearly make decisions that we are apparently free to make.

Most definitely. But we all are in some sense complicit, right? However unwittingly we accepted the entirety of the FAANG ideology: cornered markets, monopolistic practice, regulatory capture, anti-competitive business and now government practice. There's a reason why so many tech folks are not super nervous about what's going on politically. It's familiar.

>If people are too poor to afford food why would

There is no such thing in economic as "people are too poor to afford food". Growing food - is like in the start of economic chain, if people can't afford food - they starting to grow it themselves, and unaffordability disappears. Food can be unaffordable only if you hinder the production of it with your "smart" and "fair" taxation system, for example like socialists do.

At a previous company that focused on small-business finance, we had an error page that said something like "We couldn't process your request, but we're working on it! In the meantime, here's a video of a puppy." with a link to a Youtube video of a puppy.

LLM training depends on centralization. You want to do a global update of all your weights as quickly as possible. Distributing the weight updates and synchronizing occasionally let's the weights drift around aimlessly, and is very inefficient.

To optimize LLM training, you want to put as many GPUs as close together with the fastest interconnect you can build.
I mean video games are notoriously competitive, and very little money comes in until it launches after a year of building. It was not impossible OP was going to launch to 4000 customers.

I think OP’s story is inspiring, and I’m happy to hear he had support, but I could also see a wife being upset her previously highly paid husband is working on a video game, and presumably a low salary from a publisher (if any).

When I was working on my previous startup we had a couple customers and a small investment, but I got intense pushback from a female friend who would often come and live with me. She couldn’t stand the fact I was passing on a high salary to work on something I cared about, and we weren’t even dating. The 1.5 years+ she referred to me as unemployed lol

Again though I don’t mean to be critical of OP or his dream, I was just curious about the social dynamic he encountered.

Sounds like bad news. But can the manufacturers meet among themselves to hash it out? Would they? And if they did, would they make a worse or different decision than if the FDA were involved?

> Large companies definitely don’t try to prohibit you from telling people you worked there.

They don't. But they do sometimes prohibit talking/writing about their work, the nature of it or anything remotely connected to it.

My current employer explicitly prohibits us from blogging about technical topics, creating learning material or even teaching anyone on technical subjects(e.g. on weekends at nearby school) outside the job for free/money.

yea, that’s the first thing everyone tells me. It’s catastrophic sometimes if I overdo fiber, sometimes it helps. I’m convinced it’s some type of IBD but as I mentioned in original post, to confirm it requires basically a positive result on a colonoscopy I have yet to produce. Since the treatment options are poor I no longer see the point.
While for a conservative it might look like the cultural elite is opposed to these ideas, for someone who is more to the left, the "big tent" on economic issues between the 'cultural elite' and more conservative elements feels much more present.

Price fixing was done during World War 2. Actual, real price fixing. Harris talking about a tiny version of that with an anti-price gouging bill during the campaign got the following headline: "When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls?"

There is an entire world of political and economic positions that exist that are not represented in the pages of the Post.

On this exact issue my work did extensive testing and researching various standards.

I agree that adults designed our fun computers but those were adults that specialized in making those devices. If you looked at the average Gen Xer of the era you'd find they have very little interaction with computers.

What's the fastest and accurate CLI OCR tool? My use case is simple - I want to be able to grab a piece of screen (Flameshot is great for that), and OCR it. I need this for note-taking during pair-programming over Zoom.

Currently I'm using tesseract - it works, it's fast, but it also makes mistakes; it would be also great if it could discern tabular data and put them in ascii or markdown tables. I've tried docling, but it feels like a bit of an overkill. It seems to be slower - remember, I need to be able to grab the text from the screenshot very quickly. I have only tried default settings, maybe tweaking it would improve things.

Can anyone share some thoughts on this? Thanks!
The reusability is overrated.

For every problem that isn’t natural language processing, there exists a far better solution that runs faster and more optimally than an LLM, at the expense of having to actually program the damn thing (for which you can use an LLM to help you anyway).

Who can fight harder and better in a Pokémon battle, a programmed AI or an LLM? The programmed AI, because it has tactics and analysis built in. Even better, the AI’s difficulty can be scaled trivially where as an LLM you can tell it to “go easy” but it doesn’t actually know what that means? There’s no point in wasting time with an LLM for such an application.

This is absolutely idiotic behavior on the part of the government. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an announcement within the week that the manufacturers are having their own meeting.

Now they mostly seem to be $75-100. On the other hand, being 100% remote was never an issue.

If you contract directly, remember many companies are on net 90 for invoices. Be sure to factor that into financial projections..
It's not exactly a conspiracy when they're literally outright saying this is what they're doing. Like Elon Musk is out there regurgitating every single stupid reason you can think of for dismantling the government, you can spend like an hour trawling his feed and realize that all of these conspiracies are just things he's outright admitting.
Hi
Roxane from Anyshift here. We’ve launched a blog series focused on technical content for SREs, tackling key infrastructure topics and real-world challenges. There are some references to what we build at at the end, but our main goal is to provide external insights and best practices.

Our latest post is by cloud architect and HashiCorp Ambassador Mattias Fjellström, diving deep into Route 53 essentials, Terraform integrations, and real-world pitfalls (like accidentally deleting an entire hosted zone):

The first post covered IAM, and next up is VPC/networking. Would love to hear your feedback—if you found it useful or if there are other resources you’d like us to cover. Cheers! :)
When GSM was created by the European telcos (at the time they were still monopolies) a lot of care went into making the different parts decoupled with defined standards between the different parts, so that they could pit vendors against each other to avoid getting locked into vendor silos. This contributes a lot to the standards bloat since every interface needs to be defined.

In contrast there were the Qualcomm CMDA standards which were all proprietary and in-house, which had some upsides, but in the end carriers preferred the open standard with vendor competition.

There's a book called "GSM and UMTS: The Creation of Global Mobile Communication" about the history which is really interesting.
Once you learn how to cross view, you can cheat at those „find the difference“ quizzes: Cross view them and the differences will flicker.
Tom Nichols made a good point about this - he is from a very Trump-supporting demographic (white working class, baby boomer), and his observation was that all of his Trump-supporting friends and family are doing much better off now then when they were growing up. In terms of housing, food, access to healthcare, stress about money - they are a huge step above where they were in the 60s and 70s.

So whatever hurt these people suffered wasn't material. It's just resentment about other people (minorities, the "urban elite") having status or power.
In 2016, Bezos was anti-Trump and the Democratic candidate for president (Hillary Clinton) got nearly twice as much money from rich people as the Republican candidate for president (Donald Trump). It's not a sufficient explanation to say that the Trump or Republican ideology fundamentally appeals to rich people more.

Testimony on [Apple's] External Purchase Fee and Scare Screens
I could be wrong, but it seems to me to reflect the edge-of-distribution nature of both incorrect code and extreme/polarizing opinions. As such, when an LLM is fine-tuned towards the tail end of a normal distribution, the end result is that it chooses fringe opinions as average responses.
Putting a data center on the moon is not the real business.

The real business is the fake contracting companies the founders own who will hoover up all the contracts, do a lot of on-paper contracting making the founders very wealthy before the fake lunar business goes bankrupt.
