Code reviews with a human are a two way street. When I find code that is ambiguous I can ask the developer to clarify and either explain their justification or ask them to fix it before the code is approved. I don’t have to write it myself, and if the developer is simply talking in circles then I’d be able to escalate or reject—and this is a far less likely failure case to happen with a real trusted human than an LLM. “Write the code yourself” at that point is not viable for any non-trivial team project, as people have their own contexts to maintain and commitments/projects to deliver. It’s not the typing of the code that is the hard part which is the only real benefit of LLMs that they can type super fast, it’s fully understanding the problem space. Working with another trusted human is far far different from working with an LLM.
Why would you need that?

The Drive in the Expanse is _nonsensically_ powerful; Turning it on at mass fractions that seem compatible with their ship designs would be akin to a nuclear exchange for anything within thousands of kilometers of the rear end.

Talking about thermal and propulsive efficiency for a rocket is a little tricky because there are multiple useful metrics, but in this context "waste heat" is anything that doesn't get tossed out the back.
That may be an illusion. And easily outputtable in the same way. Function calling in the output to release certain hormones etc.
Author of the post here. This is a misunderstanding of CRM given how customer relationships have evolved over the last 20 years. Salesforce didn’t copy Siebel - it moved sales tracking to the cloud. HubSpot didn’t copy Salesforce - it focused on inbound leads.

We’re not trying to build every feature of a traditional CRM. We’re focusing on Google Forms as CRM for SMBs because they already use Forms + Sheets to manage leads. Wrote another post explaining how we use it as a CRM - https://manidoraisamy.com/developer-forever/post/can-you-use...

The essentials for me are private email, calendar & cloud storage. Here is my post-Google setup:

https://tuta.com/ is a German privacy-focused alternative that I'm currently using for email & calendar. Easy switch, although I was already using web clients rather than IMAP before the switch.

I looked at Proton Drive for cloud storage, but their CEO Andy Yen is a Trump supporter (https://archive.ph/2025.01.15-162500/https://www.reddit.com/...), which makes me question his decision-making.

I settled on a 5€ / month VPS from Hetzner and using Syncthing instead, but this requires some minimal amount of technical skills to set up and maintain.

There is no alternative to YouTube, unfortunately.

The reason all the statements are "wishywashy" is because it's impossible to say anything concrete here, we don't know what Google is planning to change in the future. But we know that Chromium is a huge, fast-moving code base, and that dynamic web request hooks require support from core parts of Chromium. If Google refactors or rewrites those core parts in a way which makes them incompatible with per-request dynamic hooks, keeping around v2 support means carrying huge patch sets against core parts of Chromium, forever. That's likely going to be a very large ongoing maintenance burden.

But Google haven't made those changes to how web requests are performed yet, so it's impossible to say how difficult it will be to add back whatever functionality is necessary to add back dynamic web request hooks. Maybe it'll turn out to be relatively easy, and maybe Google will leave that part of Chromium relatively unchanged for a long time. Only time will tell.

I do not see an issue here. In decoder, one does not need bignum library, just pass bignum as a memory blob to application.

In application, one knows semantic restriction on given values, and either reject bignums as semantically-invalid out-of-range, or need bignum processing library anyways.

Ediff is still a GUI (yes, even if you're running emacs -nw).

I also thing Ediff has some very annoying behaviors - the fact that it doesn't use intuitive names for the two buffers (especially because of Git's annoying nomenclature when rebasing vs merging), and the fact that there's no shortcut for inserting both the A and the B changes into the destination, which is a common operation.

I haven't really used the JetBrains merge UI, so I don't know if it's better or worse, but I don't think it's very hard to improve over ediff.
I guess this is probably the kind of exact reason that I have "reduce motion" set, but it's a shame in this case since it's a pretty harmless implementation!

The parachute will never deploy if you're higher than a previous low. So if you scroll down, a bit up, and then down again it will not have a parachute, until reaching the point where it was at the bottom last and then suddenly it gets a parachute mid fall.

If it's falling without a parachute, it will get glued to the corner the moment you start scrolling up. If it's falling with a parachute, scrolling up will break it and it will continue past the screen.

I don't want to sound overly critical - it's cool that you dished this up so quick - just commenting on your comment. The fact that the AI made so many bugs in such a short script is kinda disproving it "working", doesn't mean we like hating AI.
If done correctly a ~35 year old Laserdisc's glue layers are still fine. This depends on the plant and when the disk was produced, but Pioneers plants were quite good by the late 80's.

Most 1980's CD's are still fine, except for ones made by PDO UK.

I'm not sure if the glue layers in DVD are organic or not, but I think the rainbow part itself is aluminum.
At Delft University in the Netherlands they started a geothermal research project [0] on-campus.

> The campus geothermal well offers a unique full scale research infrastructure of global relevance. This project will be the first geothermal system built including an extensive research infrastructure in the low-enthalpy energy range. Low-enthalpy (direct-use) geothermal systems produce water <100°C that can be used directly for domestic and horticultural heating. Equipped with a broad range of advanced technologies for monitoring and data acquisition, it will deliver essential information on processes affecting deep geothermal energy provision in sedimentary basins and give valuable insight into an operating geothermal system.

I'm not doubting that Washington was very very rich.

I'm doubting the different and very specific claim that "George Washington could have financed the entire Revolutionary War" with just a third of his wealth.

To me, the math simply does not add up. I suppose it can be chalked up to hyperbole ?

I also don't see how a discussion of the Iraq war could be relevant to that claim ...

I don't even know what you mean by "under-powered statistical training."

But about the harder sciences: when this ball got rolling, I attended a lecture of a statistician, who explained that basically all genetic results preceding were likely wrong, unless they showed something like 6 sigma significance. That's because H0 is so easy to reject when you base H0 and H1 on different measurements. The result is that every theory is true.

CSRF tokens are only valid for a particular user, or session, or sometimes even a particular page load.

If there's a way for evil.com to obtain a CSRF token that's valid for an arbitrary user, it's a vulnerability, just like if evil.com could obtain the user's session token, JWT, etc.
Multiplication by 3 is actually a common operation, particularly in address calculations, where a shift and an add means multiplying the index by 3. Implementing this naively would add significant latency. But using this circuitry the LEA (Load Effective Address) instruction can do it in a single cycle, so spending this much transistor budget on it was totally a good call.
Why is this behind a google form...? There isn't even a screenshot of what it looks like before collecting an email address. What a strange post to hit front page.
TL;DR: CBOR is a bit more complex, but mainly due to additional features (tags, infinite/unknown length types) which if you need them will make using CBOR the simpler choice and which libraries can decide to support only in a "naive" but simple way (ignore most tags, directly collect unknown length types with some hard size limits).

---

On interesting aspect of CBOR vs. MessagePack is simplicity.

But it's not really that much of a win for MessagePack, especially if we ignore "tags".

Like sure message packs splitting their type/length markers at clean nibble boundaries and as such if you need to read a message pack file through a hex editor its easier.

but why would you do so without additional tooling????

Like, if we are realistic most developer won't even read (non trivial small) JSON without tooling which displays the data with nice formatting and syntax highlighting. Weather it's in your browser, editor or by piping it through jq on the command line tooling is often just a click way.

And if you anyway use tooling it doesn't matter weather type/size hints use 4/4-bit split are a 3/5-bit split. Implementation wise outside of maybe some crazy SIMD tricks or similar it also doesn't matter (too) much.

And the moment 4/4-bit and 3/5-bit are seen as in practice similar complex they are now really similar in complexity.

CBOR is a bit more consistent with it's encodings then MessagePack (e.g. MessagePack has "fix int" special cases which doesn't follow the 4/4-bit split). But it's also lacking boolean and null in it's core data model.

CBORs encoding of true,false and null is ... iffy (and 2 bytes). It also has both null and undefined for whatever cursed reasons.

MessagePack has a extension system which associate a custom type [0;127] with a byte array.

CBOR has a tagging system which associates a custom type [0;2*64-1] with any kind of CBOR type.

In this aspect MessagePack is simpler but also so restrictive that running into collisions in large interconnected enterprise use cases is not just viable but expected if extension types are widely used (but then for most apps 0..127 is good enough).

On the other hand if a CBOR library wants to support all kinds of complex custom tag based extension use cases it could add quite a bit to the libraries complexity. But then ignoring tags when parsing is valid. On benefit of the large tag space is that there are some pretty useful predefined tags, e.g. for a unix timestamp or that a byte slice is itself valid CBOR or big num encoding.

Lastly CBOR supports "infinite"/"unknown when encoding starts" length bytes string, utf-8 strings, lists and maps. That clearly adds complexity to any library fully implementing CBOR, but if you need it removes a lot of complexity from you as you now don't need to come up with some JsonL-ish format for MessagePack (which is trivial but outside of the spec). Most importantly you can stream insides of nested items, not viable with MessagePack).

Anyone looking for a new browser on the desktop, also give Floorp a look.

It’s a fork of Firefox by some young developers from Japan who seem to have good values and ideals. It’s been my daily driver for 6 months now (on Mac, Windows and Linux).

I originally found it because I wanted to easily have vertical tabs in Firefox (without the horizontal tab bar being left over) and got tired of manually editing Firefox’s chrome.css file (which acts differently on different platforms). Floorp allowed me to do this out of the box with no dramas.

I then discovered its many other cool features and Mozilla’s telemetry and their other sneaky advertising are also disabled by default. As a Firefox fork, it of course supports all Firefox extensions including proper uBlock origin.
I never really understood the point of anki outside of vocabulary learning. I would be happy to have it explained to me. Even when learning a language, I found anki to be a bit useless since often times the grammar was as important to learn (e.g., any language with genders and cases). Like I guess I don't see how anki would help me be the scientist I am today, how it might help me learn new topics that I am interested in to pursue new research directions. I am not against anki, I simply don't see how it would benefit me although if you could explain it to me I am all ears.
What you and the GP are discussing are fundamentally different solutions to agrivoltaics. One is inherently decentralised (not only decentralised power generation, but also local nitrogen fixing and reduced water demand) and the other is Just A Better Grid™. Just A Better Grid™ is inherently valuable, but it's not a substitute nor is it in competetion with agrivoltaics.
That’s fine for some and I have no problems with it but my mind doesn’t work that way and instead it asked “how is possible the UI is doing this”. All of that lead to learning what hunks are and manually editing them to learn.
So it only matters when it’s direct threat to you huh? All those people who suffered in the Middle East don’t matter? Cool story bro.
Granted I was mostly outside of the urban core of tier 1 cities, but most places I went people were constantly smoking in bathrooms, had to BYOTP, and floors were often covered in urine. In some second tier cities like Harbin it was basically squat toilets everywhere, even in the airport lounges.

Then you should be looking at agrivoltaics before rooftop, as they are much cheaper in developed countries where the cost of rooftop solar is dominated by installation cost.

True but not relevant. In this case "it" is the number of states of a finite volume that we believe to be fundamentally quantised.

Borealid isn't saying that any finite output is computable, but that outputs of this specific thing is computable because as far as we know it has a finite number of states.

This implies that brains can't compute the general nth BB function which is also true as far as we know.

Just an anecdote, I'm not downplaying the man's achievement;

I've been donating plasma a lot for the past three years and one thing I noticed is how obsessed the people at the center are with the number of donations one has made. People talk about it all the time, they ask you how many you've done as if measuring your worth, the nurses congratulate you on reaching certain thresholds and they even give you label pins with the number on it, the number is plastered in huge font on the website when you take an appointment. The old men (because they are always men) who have made 1000+ donations talk to you about how you can make certain types of donations that count as 3 at once.

I find it disappointing how gamified the system has been, and how people come to measure each others by the number, which becomes a very tangible karma number. In a way, this game has become their best incentive to get people to donate continuously, given how it's illegal in Canada to pay someone to give blood fluids.

Thanks. That was interesting discovery. Including the New Keynesian theory. However I assume now, that rational expectations do not work and the actors can be bribed. Bribed for example for selling government owned housing to private corporation. It will squeeze the tenants for profit and will do nothing to increase housing supply. Rational actor becomes selfish actor and does everything for itself. The bottom 90% get worst possible ending.
> Regardless of our Turing or Super-Turing status; is a Turing machine sufficient for consciousness to arise?

In addition to the detectability problem, I wrote in the adjacent comment, this question can be further refined.

A Turing machine is an abstract concept. Do we need to take into account material/organizational properties of its physical realization? Do we need to take into account computational complexity properties of its physical realization?

Quantum mechanics without Penrose's Orch OR is Turing computable, but its runtime on classical hardware is exponential in, roughly, the number of interacting particles. So, theoretically, we can simulate all there is to simulate about a given person.

But to get the initial state of the simulation we need to either measure the person's quantum state (thus losing some information) or teleport his/her quantum state into a quantum computer (the no-cloning theorem doesn't allow to copy it). The quantum computer in this case is a physical realization of an abstract Turing machine, but we can't know its initial state.

The quantum computer will simulate everything there are to simulate, but the interaction of a physical human with the initial state of the Universe via photons of the cosmic microwave background. Which may deprive the simulated one of "free will" (see "The Ghost in the Quantum Turing Machine" by Scott Aaronson). Or maybe we can simulate those photons too, I'm not sure about it.

Does all of it have anything to do with consciousness? Yeah, those are interesting questions.
Do you not review code from your peers? Do you not search online and try to grok code from StackOverflow or documentation examples?

All of these can vary wildly in quality. Maybe its because I mostly use coding LLMs as either a research tool, or to write reasonably small and easy to follow chunks of code, but I find it no different than all of the other types of reading and understanding other people's code I already have to do.

Some of C++'s warts are still available in Rust, though, such as long compile times. Additionally it encourages using a lot of dependencies, too, just like npm does.
