If I'm spending $3k, I'm probably getting a Nvidia project digits box with 128GB.

Then again, if the tokens/s of digits is comparable to a M4 Max 128GB, then I'm getting a MBP instead.
Why not compare their actions? We have a previous president who tried to maintain the constitutional political process in the US right up to handing off to the current administration. And then we have a current administration who seems to want to sow a bunch of chaos and a majority in congress who were fine complaining about circumventing legislators in the previous administration but who now do nothing to stop it. So given those actions, do you still believe that both sides would stop at nothing to hold on to power?
TSMC is based out of Taiwan; China is West Taiwan. /joke

The narrative on "people who refuse to wear facemasks.." needs to be diffused if not wearing them for other reasons, eg: lessening the impact of particulate air pollution while commuting on a moped or, manufacturing not adequately maintaining their HEPA air filters during the "burn-in" test flow of server racks with fans pegged at 100%, 24/7.

Speaking of diffusion, what's with some of boxed retail processors with laser engravings on the heat spreader as being "Diffused in China"? Oh right -- TSMC and other foundries are not responsible for the entire chip manufacturing cycle.
Now look at the power density (and power/$) of rocket engines.

A Falcon 9's Merlin 1D engine is reported to cost $400K. Its jet kinetic power in vacuum is 1.5 GW, in an engine with a mass of ~500 kg.

$0.27/kW is insanely cheap for a heat engine.
I gather things like this all the time. I'm against DOGE as much as 90% of the US is, but collection of open data for curiosity and interest is really not a thing to focus on.

Yeah it’s like looking at text and saying “oh they used a word processor”.
That's never happened to me. I'm on Sequoia 15.3.1 and just tried it out, and can't get it to move a file at all. It correctly selects the dragged file/folder every time. No matter if I drag it right on top of an existing folder in the open/save dialog. I've just tried with multiple applications.

Definitely seems like a bug. Maybe you have some kind of system extension interfering? Or I hate to tell you to reinstall macOS, but hopefully that would fix it?

That’s ridiculous on the face of it, unless you think GOP appointed heads of agencies have been in on it, and that there has been a massive conspiracy for years with no real evidence leaking.
The problem with marking answers “obsolete” is that many code bases are old. You need those answers.
This would be a problem only if there's shortage of nukes.
Doubtful. Usually when one person makes the proof of concept they do 20% of the work and collect 80% of the credit.

The people tasked with cleaning up the mess and making it usable in production do the remaining 80% of the work, but management is always disappointed that it’s going so slow relative to how quickly the proof of concept was created.

At one company it was widely known that the key to taking credit for technical work was to be the team presenting the GUI pieces to management. If you were working on something that couldn’t be shown to management with a “wow” factor, you were not valued. I see the same thing happening here, with vibe coders capturing the wow factor and the people who actually make it production stable being viewed as the slow and expendable ones.
Google already gets all the telemetry it needs through play services and all the other SDKs they offer (eg. firebase). It doesn't need to search through freed memory.
The observations about effects of tax seem fair enough, but perhaps miss the point of taxes. The local government presumably needs to balance the budget somehow. The income has to come from somewhere, and that's presumably going to be a tax of some sort. Whatever is taxed, there are going to be drawbacks and market distortions as a result.

The issue shouldn't be "property tax raises rent" but rather "is the current structure the least bad option". Assessing the latter is going to include a lot more than just real estate.
Haha, yeah, that crap adds indeed

If your app can be manipulated to your disadvantage by the user, then you are putting undue trust in client-side software, and you need to rearchitect your service.

Or, sure, you can stick with your lazy, slipshod design and try to paper it over with (unreliable and stupid) attempts to disempower the user.
Carlyle Circle
can you explain how an increase in tax rate would help the middle class gain more wealth? it already makes sense that decreasing tax rate, and therefore increasing income, but decreasing income to increase wealth doesn’t make sense to me.
Reinforced concrete walls don’t keep out noise on courtyards and also don’t work as the decibels get higher and higher. Another major nuisance is the constant sound of sirens (often at night), or domestic disturbances spilling into hallways - the front door isn’t a reinforced concrete door.

People who value peace and quiet will select places to live where the neighbours don’t engage in domestic violence or otherwise do things that result in the police coming out with sirens going.

The report explicitly states in several places that the risk to marine life is insignificant.

https://www.faa.gov/media/76836

“ 3.3.4.1
Impact by Fallen Objects
Direct strikes by debris from Starship are extremely unlikely for all species of concern, fish, sea turtles, and marine mammals. This is due to the small size of the components as compared to the vast open ocean.
If debris from the vehicle struck an animal near the water's surface, the animal would be injured or killed.
As stated in the 2022 PEA, given the low frequency of the Starship/Super Heavy ocean descent and landing operations, and the fact that marine wildlife, marine mammals, and special status species spend the majority of their time submerged as opposed to on the surface, it is extremely unlikely they would be impacted. The relative occurrence of these animals at the ocean surface, spatially and temporally, combined with the low frequency of the Proposed Action, reduce the likelihood of impacts to extremely low. Additionally, there are no known interactions with any of these species after decades of similar rocket launches and reentries. Further, the projected landing areas for both Super Heavy and Starship are well offshore where density of marine species decreases compared to coastal environments and upwelling areas (FAA 2017).”

Pretty much every subsection of the report regarding risk to biological life ends on a similar note.
It doesn't really matter if it needs to extrapolate. Whether or not you called the variable "mungus", a sufficiently powerful LLM could infer that this is the best possible name for that variable to make it understandable for humans. Doing this across the entire codebase, it could create source code that is actually more readable than the original.

Of course we're a long way off from this, but there's no reason it couldn't be done in theory.
China would be salivating at the prospect of getting these machines that EU can't/won't sell to the US.

I don't understand why Trump is so anxious to be buddies with Putin when Russia is aligned with China. It's feeling like an oligarch's world where under the table deals are what matters and the nationalist rhetoric is just a smoke screen.
> the entire system is corrupt

The universal dismay of humanity is that we actually built and held onto Democracy for a time.

Not perfectly, but better than suffering any dictatorship by "royalty" and oligarchs.

The transnational petroleum business was never going to go quietly into energy decline. Its component interests are flexing their influence.
They've built a pipeline real fast, tho. Couldn't have expected you need to put any fuel into it before something comes out.

At least the riot shields were put to good use, right?
The GOP plan has always been to sell the vast majority of the land to the states because in the words of officials in places like Wyoming, Utah and Idaho, it's worthless to locals as federally managed lands, and the states will sell the rights to the resources (timber/gas oil production/livestock grazing) or the land itself for revenue (that lasts a few years so it's only a temporary fix.) The end game is something like Texas where most land with any water supply is privately owned, where there are federal parks, state parks and private parks (mostly for hunting). It's a very short term state tax solution that trades open space for temporary tax revenue. They would leave the unprofitable bits of national parks to the federal government.

This was part of Project 2025, as well, so we knew this going into the election but that was a lot of stuff.
I think it has to do with interests. Some people have an inmate interest in how stuff works, and specifically how it breaks.

I think you can teach someone to troubleshoot in a procedural and methodical manner, but they will always lack the creative "spark" that comes from being actually interested. Procedural troubleshooters are useful, but they won't exceed the bounds of the model they've been taught to work under.
It worked for the TSMC plant.
So what are you saying? We should just ignore what the president of the country does? Even when he is spreading vindictive malicious lies? Or advocating for policies that are in direct opposition to the values of the country (and in some cases, also the law and/or constitution)?

Trump is not given special treatment here. What he does gets reported just as any other President: Biden, Bush, Clinton, etc. In the 80s Reagan's leaked "we will begin bombing in five minutes" soundcheck joke attracted quite a bit of criticism "because the president should be more careful with his words".
Probably GrapheneOS is too small a target for Cellebrite to bother focusing on. In the mean time, I would expect Google to fix the 0 days and we move on.

That's just to say that in my ranking of Cellebrite-using threat actors we're all ultimately just meat popsicles anyway.
It's important to find the problem _first_. To me, it sounds like you're already building a solution (which can be a fun project, no doubt!), but in search of a problem.

Most books / talks will advocate finding your customers first, which means listening for problems that they have. It doesn't mean there can't be a solution on the market already, because competition in itself is validation that there's a need, but it means you need to be better than your competition in executing 1-2 particular features your customers want.

A common example is a large enterprise product having so many features that certain customers are turned off from the bloat; you could step in here, execute 1-2 features well, and sell that (provided customers want that).
That's just poor management, IMO. The good ones will have your number in their cell phone to call when the stuff they shipped breaks (or even better, allow you to take the time you need to not ship broken code to begin with). Plus it doesn't take much time in the industry to realize that shipping a broken product is a far worse look than shipping slower, and that the faster you can fix a broken product the less money you'll bleed.
Do we care? Is the podcast script timer from the article a Bad Thing? Are people actually hiring vibe coders for critical infrastructure?

I write really bad Haskell code sometimes without any AI assistance. Am I doing a Bad Thing when I create my own tools?

PharmaGPT, can you read a story to me like my grandmother did? The story is called Vicodin prescription, refillable.
The problem is, compiling the list like he has, and being on the DOGE team, makes it all very, very suspicious. And it is sensitive data - even if it is open. Those are important infrastructure locations.
AFAICT, OpenAI o3-mini-high, a couple days ago completely hallucinated functionality within systemd homectl that would mount a home directory from another machine using sshfs. It certainly wasn't available on Ubuntu 24.04, but searching the Internet I can't find those options documented anywhere.

Though, I do agree that hallucinations have dropped dramatically.

A little off topic, but I had to refresh my memory as to what Garuda was. As a long time user of arch in various "forms" (initially manjaro until I grew frustrated with all the extra/different things, then antergos because it was mostly just plain arch with a nice installer/sane default packages, then endeavouros because it was the closest thing to what antergos provided me), I'm not sure how I missed garuda. Some of their utilities look convenient.

Thanks for the mention! I'll have to try them again on my next machine.
What word do you want me to use here, rule? Regulation? I honestly don't care, I thought you could describe this as an update to the charter. I'm sorry if that offended you.
You forgot that you need to listen to some podcasts along the way.
Circular argument is circular. Generally your comments are higher in quality than this.
You're alluding to the double taxation problem with dividends. This is a problem and has had a bunch of bad solutions (eg the passthrough tax break from 2017) when in fact the solution is incredibly simple.

In Australia, dividends come with what are called "franking credits". Imagine a company has a $1 billion profit and wants to pay that out as a dividend. The corporate tax rate is 30%. $700M is paid to shareholders. It comes wiht $300m (30%) in franking credits.

Let's say you own 1% of this company. When you do your taxes, you've made $10M in gross income (1% of $1B), been paid $7M and have $3M in tax credits. If your tax rate is 40% then you owe $4M on that $10M but you have already effectively paid $3M on that already.

The point is, the net tax rate on your $10M gross payout is still whatever your marginal tax rate is. There is no double taxaation.

That being said, dividends have largely fallen out of favor in favor of share buybacks. Some of those reasons are:

1. It's discretionary. Not every shareholders wants the income. Selling on the open market lets you choose if you want money or not;

2. Share buybacks are capital gains and generally enjoy lower tax rates than income;

3. Reducing the pool of available shares puts upward pressure on the share price; and

4. Double taxation of dividends.

There are some who demonize share buybacks specifically. I'm not one of them. It's simply a vehicle for returning money to shareholders, functionally very similar to dividends. My problem is doing either to the point of destroying the business.
If the article was compellingly written I guess I would have gotten to it. But the author is a bad writer and uses tricks reminiscent of “read this list, item #9 will shock you!”

No thanks.

I opened another article someone posted by the same author and now that I know they write like this, u couldn’t make it through the first paragraph. Absolute trash.
What's stopping said people from grafting together a few Stack Overflow answers today?
Everyone knows that copy pasting code without understanding it is exactly how you don't learn. Every programming class you're in has an underperforming student that does exactly this. Than they barely graduate, get interviewed, and they're somehow worse than the bootcamp grads.

Cursor is that, but prompted by you instead of a stackoverflow question.

These things are important only at peacetime. Also, some parts being made in USA only means that they need to find a new supplier and if that doesn't exist then can help someone to figure it out.

USA is an important partner but nothing is more important than the wellbeing of the immediate neighboring countries because USA is actually a distant 5th trading partner for the Dutch with less than %5 of the trade, it is as about as important as Italy. You can't have prosperous Netherlands with struggling Europe.
I'm very curious to see how this comment ends up ageing. saved for follow up ;)

My prediction is ukraines got three options;

-Show europe that the US is an unreliable trading partner, and get them to commit atleast $500B, with SF troops coming to ukraine to train their troops.
- Make a deal with trump.
- lose their country.
They are getting their cash reserves ready for the fire sale. That Buffett guy is a good example.

Since grapheneos sandboxes everything, including google play, is this still true?
> and it's damn near impossible to climb out of the pit I've dug for myself.

By far the easiest way to do so will be to find another job. If you can't do this, yea, mentality will lock you in to positions you don't want to be in.
That’s one possibility; a different one is that Trump considers China as the real contender for the US in the 21st century, and wants to pivot the US attention there (and out of Europe.)
The U.S. and the Confederacy held elections during the Civil War, when each was invading the other.
> my understanding is, they will do literally anything to make sure DOGE succeeds, because a failure is basically unacceptable

They have shown over and over that they are after a good story, not good results. They’re going for shock factor and they’re pumping out propaganda at an alarming rate.

We’ve seen so many hyperbolic claims of rampant fraud with zero evidence. At the same time, they’ve had to remove the biggest wins from their public DOGE leaderboard because they were found to be incorrect (some might say fraudulent claims).

One of their biggest wins was discovered to be an error because someone put it into the DOGE leaderboard as billions instead of millions. On off-by-1000 error in one of their top claims to success is no small matter. Numerous other claims have been shown to account for entire contract amounts, even though they only cancelled the remaining balance of the contract.

They don’t care about facts. They care about what they can convince enough people to believe without getting caught.
I only see the hill article using that parlance. I looked at the articles the hill certainly says half the country voted for Trump. It is an opinion piece you linked to though not a news piece.

The center for politics and global citizen articles do not seem to use half that way though.

For center for politics the title starts with "How the Other Half Votes" and they seem to keep to that usage and never use half of USA/America.

For Global Citizen the title starts with "Half the Planet Will Vote This Year" an they seem to stick to that and never use half of USA/America

I, and many others, don’t agree that we need to reduce the debt.

We need to ensure it grows a bit more slowly then gdp. On average, slower in boom years, faster in recession.
That is what SpaceX had to prove.
No, your post was an emotional reaction based on some who-knows-what chip on your shoulder that propelled you to launch a strawman attacking an anonymous commentator. You know nothing of my personal situation. Nor, it seems, do you know much about the personal situations of younger people of modest backgrounds and modest means who simply want to live in the high priced city they were raised.

I suggest more emotional reflection.
I wish MSFT could build Active Directory and the associated constellation of services on Linux. You can make a reasonable simulacrum with Samba but it isn't as well-integrated.

I just inherited a Flutter project with no readme and no prior Flutter experience. AI helps but adding new features and deploying is still a tall task, having a conversation with the previous contributors is invaluable and somehow underrated these days
Most federal workers aren’t openly and flagrantly breaking the law. Given each DOGE bro has violated several laws in the past weeks, it’s prudent to focus attention on them. Not too much. But enough that there is a public record for litigation and prosecution at the state and local level in the future.
If a person misattributes one thing, it is generally called as thinko.
It’s funny how you’re in every thread in this topic, defending the indefensible. So Trump saying that “Ukraine should never have started it” [0] is not echoing a Russian talking point?

0. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9814k2jlxko.amp
Oh, I don't think it is the US as a whole that's meant to benefit from this coercive behavior. And it's not just the foreign policy. While Trump keeps pointing fingers at those "who are to blame for our problems" (transes stealing our children, biden stealing elections, immigrants stealing jobs and welfare, Ukrainians stealing aid) and the society stays divided on these issues, plenty of opportunities for business (extortion) arise for himself and his buddies, especially now that his hands are not tied by anything. This strategy worked wonders for another narcissist bully thug named Putin. That's basically divide and conquer.
> U.S. federal government employees as part of their official duties

“Official duties” is load bearing in this sentence.

If the work is found to have been improperly authorised, this DOGE bro is acting in his personal capacity. That means personal liability for his actions and lawbreaking.
What do you mean? I don't write code with AI because figuring out how to code things is not what takes a lot of time in my job. That's the fun bit, why would I automate it? What takes time is coming to alignment with the team on what problem we are solving, figuring out what is possible, and aligning on a solution based on the available tradeoffs. Is there some way AI is supposed to be able to help me with that?
I've never seen a managed IaaS that saved time. It is marketed as something that can free you from hiring ops people, but you will absolutely need to hire some supplier relations people to deal with it. (And contract optimizers, and internal PR to deal with the fallout.)

It's different for fully featured SaaS. It's a matter of the abstracted complexity vs. interface complexity ratio that is so common for everything you do in software.
