Dismantling government. Look up the "network state":

> All of these men see themselves as the heroes or protagonists in their own sci-fi saga. And a key part of being a “technological superman” — or ubermensch, as the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche would say — is that you’re above the law. Common-sense morality doesn’t apply to you because you’re a superior being on a superior mission. Thiel, it should be noted, is a big Nietzsche fan, though his is an extremely selective reading of the philosopher’s work.

> The ubermensch ideology helps explain the broligarchs’ disturbing gender politics. “The ‘bro’ part of broligarch is not incidental to this — it’s built on this idea that not only are these guys superior, they are superior because they’re guys,” Harrington said.

[…]

> The so-called network state is “a fancy name for tech authoritarianism,” journalist Gil Duran, who has spent the past year reporting on these building projects, told me. “The idea is to build power over the long term by controlling money, politics, technology, and land.”

“non-programmers can now build functional software by working with AI rather than writing code directly.”

I’m not sure about that, it may be true, but you can also build a ecom store without coding knowledge using wordpress and shopify but you still face a lot of limitations.
I'm not making an observation about whether he should have used another language, but just that this was one of the reasons why he was at a huge disadvantage in terms of being able to deal with the blatant bullying.
I don't at all understand where your confusion lies, but be assured that undecidability/noncomputability isn't "hokum". It's probably "regurgitated" in the sense that this is covered in about every "intro CS" textbook, lecture, etc. because it forms the basis of theoretical CS.
A referendum carried out by an occupying force means nothing. That's a fact.

If Russia were serious about self-determination of the Dombas and Crimea regions, they'd have first proposed a referendum audited by international observers, and pressured Ukraine diplomatically to accept.

Instead, Russia chose to invade. They started the war, and they can stop it and withdraw at any time they choose. Every death from the Ukraine war is entirely on Russia's head.
An overreaction and/or exaggeration I think. How hard have you looked at the problem? Without a doubt, there are common aspects of many kinds of intelligence.
I’d say it’s inspired by how they write on ‘influencer’ side of tech twitter, the part of twitter that is one of the most obnoxious. the ‘AGI is nearly here’ people and crypto bros all hang out there.
I would frame that as being motivated to satisfy their base, vs being motivated to succeed.

Success usually has a positive connotation, and they don't seem to be doing a particularly good job if you take the "reduce the size of the government" goal at face value (they are making messes everywhere they go, with the government shrinking slower than normal attrition...).

I have never been to Israel. But for a small country that has always existed under a threat of the destruction, not just by the county of Gaza, but occupied Lebanon, Iran, and basically some large population of every surrounding Muslim nation, they've done quite well. I'd say very modern. And given the penchant of the polity to protest and a free and rambunctious press, I'd also say very liberal.

You may have different definitions of these words.

The Ukrainian constitution prescribes that elections cannot be held during a war. One obvious reason is also that 20% of Ukraine are occupied and it's not possible to hold elections there. Similar decisions to postpone elections were made by other countries in distress, such as the United Kingdom during World War 2.

Zelensky has even offered to step down as a president in exchange for tangible security guarantees for his country, yet you people continue to parrot Russian propaganda. It's absolute insanity how brainwashed people are by this cheap Russian propaganda. Think before you write!

Tab hoarding is not an effective strategy of organization, it is more the fear of losing something important. And tab hoarding builds up, just like any other type of hoarding.

Finding tabs was a bit of hit or miss, you can search for them if remember the title, otherwise you have to manually find it, time consuming.

With my new strategy that I described above, it has become much easier to find what I’m looking for.

Bookmarking has always been clunky, putting them into hierarchical folder structure is both time consuming and has the same problem as files and folders, it lacks a dimension, a bookmark can be in multiple folders.

Bookmark toolbar could work, how paradoxical it may sound with all the tabs opened, it just don’t like that UI element cluttering my browser.

Forgetting about bookmarks can be a good thing, it is similar when browser loses all opened tabs, the feeling is a strange mix of anxiety and relief, anxiety of missing out but a relief that I don’t need to process them anymore.

Sometimes a find ten year old bookmarks on some backup, most bookmarks dead or just out of date. I feel we need better ways to organize things in this temporary cloud world.
Determine how much you need bots to access your website. If you don't need them then block them. This will kill you if you are reliant upon AD revenue.

On my personal site I started blocking bots and also set a "noindex, nofollow" rule to block web crawlers and search bots too. I noticed no change in traffic and still do about 10,000 visits a month.
I don't understand Anthropic's reluctance to release this project as an npm package but not open-source it. Claude Code is such a great example of how agents could work in the future that the whole community could benefit from studying it. Plus, the work on integrating MCPs alone could create a huge network effect opportunity for them, one that's much bigger than keeping the source code secret.

All they've done so far is add an unnecessary step by putting a bounty on who will be the first to extract all the prompts and the agent orchestration layer.

First of all, Trump has been very reluctant about any security guarantees. I don't think he will give any, regardless of mineral deal or not.

And I agree Zelenskys lost yesterday. I was expecting him to do what Starmer did, just "more". Go there with a smile and eat whatever poop sandwich Trump and Vance served him.

I can understand people that think "good on him for standing up for himself", but he wasn't there to stand up for himself. He was there to security guarantees.

On the other hand I doubt trump and couch-guy had anything else planned. If they had been serious about the intentions this would have been negotiated and done long before any kind of public appearance.
> "look he dressed up!" was juvenile

It's worse than that.

Zelenskyy famously stopped wearing civilian suits, and is always wearing military-style clothes in public appearances to symbolise how he's defending his nation in a time of war. It's a reminder to other leaders that it's not just another trade deal, that this is a real shooting war and people are dying.

Trump hates this, and thinks it's disrespectful that Zelenskyy doesn't wear a suit when he comes to the US on official visits.

Trump generally can't stomach a real fight, and Zelenskyy can... visibly.

Hence the reaction from Trump. Zelenskyy made him feel shame through his mere dress, his shirt, so he had to do something or say something to feel in control again, to feel powerful.
on the contrary, even China would retaliate. It's the american equivalent of going into a texas bar and shooting a clip. You are now a proven reckless danger to everyone else and they will retaliate at once in your direction, regardless of if you were being stupid or had a specific target.

They do that because the alternative is a shootout at everone and many people in the bar will die. No single person/country is going to take those odds in an era where there are thousands of nuclear warheads now.
Hard not to think Zelensky wants Ukraine war to leak out to Europe. This was the case when Ukrainian army shot rockets above Polish terriory resulting in two deaths, Ukraine never apologized. Same as they proclaimed Stepan Bandera their national hero, honestly crimes committed by germans during wwII were nothing compared to what UPA led by Bandera did. I hope this war will be soon over.

Good catch this is actually my workflow when I code on my phone in the hot tub.
my understanding of the video, and after having read the historical book "Not One Inch" by ME Sarotte [1] is that during the numerous meetings between the US and the USSR, over several years, at one (1) time George Baker said the famous "Not One Inch" (which I highly recommend)

Not only was this subsequently retracted, but it was never repeated, and it was not in any of the treaty texts. Russia had essentially lost the cold war, was so near to collapse that it needed billions of dollars from it's previous enemies, and so never asked for any sort of confirmation because they knew they wouldn't get it.

It's a bit like, calling the AT&T hotline 20 times, and when during one conversation the agent tells you by mistake that you can have free internet for life (without written confirmation), upon which you then loudly complain that AT&T is in breach of contract.

As the book and the video also remind people, it's not the US that extended NATO. It's the various countries that spent 40 years behind the iron curtain, that were so eager to join NATO that they essentially forced their way into NATO, against the wishes of the US. And given the various Russian invasions the last 10-15 years, history has more than validated them.

The west tried for years and years to accommodate Russia, and only gave weapons to Ukraine in 2016 because ... in 2014 Russia invaded Ukraine? Let's not forget that in the 90's, Ukraine was the third biggest nuclear power, and gave away it's nuclear weapons to Russia at the behest of the rest of the world (who were afraid of nuclear escalation), but only in return from security guarantees, from Europe, the US and even Russia. This deal was very much not at the initiative of Ukraine.

Supporting Ukraine is not a moral issue. It's a contractual issue. We wanted to reduce nuclear proliferation 35 years ago, and -at the time- were willing to pay the price. It's time to make good on that promise.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_One_Inch
I don't think it's a distraction so much as rather important to detering China. If Putin can invade Ukraine and get away with it China will assume it can do the same for Taiwan and other territory it wants. If the west stops Putin, China will think twice.
Hey, that could be considered many. 2 many.
Why are books likely to be lost?

Any decent library has a "last copy" policy where the last copy of a given book/edition is kept in a vault for reference at need.

>Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

>--- Anne Herbert

Piracy directly interferes with the actual business of publishing books --- I missed out on buying _Traditional Archery from Six Continents_, and the price quickly climbed to 4 digits after it went out of print, so I made arrangements to get the rights and re-print it --- shortly before I picked up the books at the printer someone released a PDF scan of the book --- it took me over 5 years to sell out the print run and get my living room closet back.

Similarly, I'd like to arrange for re-printing J.R.R. Tolkien's _The Old English Exodus_: https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/The_Old_English_Exodus but have settled instead for binding a photocopy I was sent the second time I requested it on Interlibrary Loan because a certain archive site is handing it out for free as a poor quality scan.

If folks want books to be free, why not focus on either public domain texts, or authoring new works which have copyleft and similar licenses? Why deny authors their right to control how their work is distributed _and_ what compensation they receive.

I've done a fair bit at wikibooks.org and have put up:

https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d

and my articles in _TUGboat_ are freely downloadable --- that doesn't give me the right to take texbook.tex, edit it, typset it to a PDF and then pass out that PDF.

Dr. Who episodes are not books. Don't move the goal posts.

Maybe, but I disengaged partway through (right after “I’m not going to bury the lede” and seeing there was a bunch more engagement filler immediately after, burying the lede). I will not read prose written like this.
Probably the sanctions will be greatly reduced or eliminated this year or next, and the sanctions are great marketing to other countries that fear being sanctioned—which, following Vance's speech in Munich, probably should include Romania, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and maybe even the UK.

That is probably 75% of the reason, but it does dovetail very nicely with the acquisition of nuclear submarines with nuclear weapons capabilities.

I thought I was just imagining things, but I looked it up and it turns out that the Liberal party has been flirting with arming Australia with nukes since the 1990s or maybe the late 80s.
Being honest, this is 100% in big cities, but in the countryside it doesn't hold. A lot of cities between 100k-300k are pretty safe to live, people with gates leaves them open, even leave their cars entire open while getting a beer inside the house (all unlocked).
> My understanding is that Cosmos has gotten a lot better

For some values of "better", I guess. Performance is still terrible, their data visualization/inspection tools are shameful, their SQL dialect is finicky and has no error reporting beyond "something is wrong with the input value", and their official Python SDK has a race condition bug that can silently clear out your documents when under heavy load.

I used to work at a Cosmos-heavy house and I would utter "fucking Cosmos" around 15 times a day.
Sure, but at this point it seems like Trump will soon start to actively support the Russian economy.

This is basically what I thought: "Wait a second, is that data structure even thread-safe??" and then "Seems like you are just using the wrong data structure for your purpose.". Shoehorning with mutexes will usually lead to problems elsewhere and bottlenecks.

What you suggest to make objects immutable: Yes, and then one actually uses different data structures, which are made for being used as immutable data structures, making use of structural sharing, to avoid or limit an explosion in memory usage. So again its a case of "use the right data structures for the job". Using purely functional data structures makes one side of the problem simply disappear. The other side might not even come up in many cases: What if the threads depend on other versions of the data structure, which the other threads create? (need intermediate results of other threads). Then one has a real headache coming ones way, and probably needs again other data structures.

One additional idea I had, if one really wants to shoehorn it with the already used mutable data structure is, that one could write something that serializes the access attempts before they hit the data structure. That could also include grouping accesses into transactions and only running complete transactions. Then it makes me think whether it is close to implementing a database ...
The AI propaganda and hype is so strong that even Starmer mentioned AI fealty in his meeting with Trump.

Which outcome would not be a mistake?
This is the outcome.

Well, we might see a vestigial "peace treaty" set up between D and V, with both saying "we'd have peace now except for Z not wanting it, he's the problem".

USA is out of the game. Only question now is if it goes neutral (EU can still buy munitions/weapons) or actually becomes actively hostile, to whatever extent.

EU now needs to step up. This means 7% defence spending, to re-arm and to support UA.

HU/SK will block everything in EU, every step of the way, as both are Putin's.

EU is actually fundamentally unable to respond because it cannot really deal with HU/SK. NATO also. No mechanism to eject members. Enough voting mechanisms require unanimous vote.

EU States need to start organizing things between themselves, sans HU/SK/USA.

The problem is that western nuclear tech isn't very vertically integrated.

If you buy a Russian nuclear power plant, Rosatom takes care of absolutely everything.

If you buy a powerplant from anywhere else, you've got to juggle hundreds of various contractors and companies at various stages.

So if you've built your system, there will be only very few fuel suppliers left, whose fuel product is approved for usage with all the components.

And if one of those suppliers has problems or goes bankrupt (since nuclear fuel is an aweful product to make money with: Very low numbers, extremely strict regulations, very expensive handling and processing, a very unstable and slow growing market, constantly new requirements and all of your customers have huge legal teams and deep pockets), you're going to have a lot of difficulty finding a replacement.
One of the many secrets of lathe cutting is that these aren't actually PVC, but rather PETG. They actually play nicer and are more durable than pressed PVC records and can have a lower noise floor. On a good day, we can make a cut record that sounds nicer than a pressed one.
