Since sweden (and germany) might become a far right government in some years as well, I would say, this is a seperate, but related issue.

Boomers benefited from a ton. Significantly cheaper housing, education, healthcare, childcare, groceries, cars, gas. Even when adjusted for inflation. Employment was significantly easier to get, especially without degrees, and those easier to get jobs paid relatively much more in terms of the ratio of income to cost of living.

Just finished the book recently. It's very insightful. As someone who considers himself good at debugging* and is still trying to improve debugging skills and efficiency, I view this book (and similar resources like this article) as a guide that also helps me reflect on what could have been done in a better way next time.

* Multiple times, I helped others find the root cause of a bug after they spend hours at it and have no clue what is happening
Bravo.

Another historical point of interest is how China, the "center of the world", isolated themselves from the rest of the world and how that played out.
Colombia, 25.269. It mysteriously increases with proximity to cocaine.

Hmm, but the Netherlands, though. OK maybe scrub that theory.
Unlike the Soviets US didn't try to impose a "colonial" style administration in Afghanistan. They had no long-term plan and the local Afghan government they were propping up was exceptionally corrupt and incompetent.

Militarily US didn't much better than the Soviets and could've won relatively easily if they used similar methods and comparable goals.
A surprisingly large amount of data one might think is classified is not at all. In this case all the examples listed are from freely available public data outside of the Twitter thing which seems to be just setting up the environment for some local tool. Here are the sites:

Sharing things like this isn't very useful because it just causes further divides. People who think DOGE is not a big deal will use this to confirm that 'oh no the worst they could dig up is somebody posting publicly accessible data in public!' And those who do think it's a big deal will often just double down on stupid and insist this was leaking secret information, even when they probably know it wasn't. So you end up with people living in two different worlds, but only one of them is real.
1x 512-bit FMA or 2x 256-bit FMAs or 4x 128-bit FMAs is irrelevant here - it's still a single physical unit in a CPU that consumes 512 bits of data bandwidth. The question is why the CPU budget allows for 2x 512-bit or 4x 256-bit while H100, for example, has 14592 FP32 CUDA cores - in AVX terminology that would translate, if I am not mistaken, to 7926x 512-bit or 14592x 256-bit FMAs per clock cycle. Even considering the obvious differences between GPUs and CPUs, this is still a large difference. Since GPU cores operate at much lower frequencies than CPU cores, it is what it made me believe where the biggest difference comes from.
I agree, but I do wonder about the balance of delegating autonomy vs micro-managing. I've seen some developers never really grow or progress because there was always someone holding their hand, telling them what to do, and not letting them experience the viscera of failure or fear. That's not to say you aren't on the money, but I ponder.

I should have worded the question a bit differently as it wasn't completely obvious to me that production was going to break. I let the developer own their change, but my spidey sense was tingling a bit.
When patterns become too obvious, just label them "conspiracy theories." Much easier than explaining why critical infrastructure leaks consistently benefit the same interests.

Funny how skepticism disappears when billionaires dismantle democracy—that's just "innovation," right?

Not to go too much on an AusPol tangent, LNP Nuclear stuff is more about delaying the green-power transition.

It keeps coal / gas power around for a nuclear future that is decades away at best (and never more likely). It’s a sop to the oil and mining companies.

In a gas turbine, the phases of the thermodynamic cycle happen simultaneously in time, but in different places inside the turbine.

While a portion of air progresses through the turbine, it passes through the phases of the cycle.

During the first phase, the air passes through the compressor section of the turbine, where it is compressed adiabatically. During the second phase, fuel is added to the air and it burns, heating the air, which expands at an approximately constant pressure. During the third phase, the exhaust gases pass through the expander section of the turbine, being expanded adiabatically.

The last phase of the cycle, which closes the thermodynamic cycle, by reaching the ambient temperature and pressure, happens in the external atmosphere, for the exhaust gases. The meaning of this phase for an open-cycle engine is that its computation provides the value of the energy lost in the exhaust gases, which reduces the achievable efficiency.

This thermodynamic cycle, which approximates what happens in a gas turbine, is named by Americans the Brayton cycle, even if the historically-correct name is the Joule cycle.

(George B. Brayton has patented an engine using this cycle in 1872, without explaining it, but James Prescott Joule had published an article analyzing in great detail this cycle, “On the Air-Engine”, already in 1851, 21 years earlier. Moreover, already in 1859, a textbook by Rankine, “A Manual of the Steam Engine and other Prime Movers”, where all the thermodynamic cycles known at that time were discussed, attributed this cycle to Joule, 13 years before the Brayton patent. Not only the work of Joule happened much earlier than that of Brayton, but the publications of Joule and Rankine have been very important in the development of the industry of thermal engines, unlike the engines produced by Brayton, which had a very limited commercial success and which had a negligible contribution to the education of the engineers working in this domain. Therefore, the use of the term "Brayton cycle" does not appear to be based on any reason, except that Brayton was American and Joule British.)

100% bullying.

Something that isn't seemingly being commented widely on either is that Vance started hitting Zelenskyy with bursts of multiple questions and as soon as he started answering the first there were immediate challenges and redirections.

English isn't Zelenskyy's first language. Imagine how tough this must have been.

At that point the questions weren't questions anymore - they were statements that were left unchallenged.
> there are many, many avenues to solve this one (better grid interconnections across Europe, green hydrogen backup plants, overbuilding cheap capacity, …)

All those options are currently non-viable because they are too expensive.

The problem is that the few dark days with little wind cost as much to produce as all remaining days of the year (and may even surpass it). Interconnections added to the problem, with worse long term allocation of hydro storage and increased volatile in the energy market. Market forces has been a direct hindrance, with citizens in practically every EU country demanding government subsidizes to solve the issue of energy shortage, rather then reducing demand.

Looking at a typical energy bill from northern Europe, you almost don't pay anything for hours when wind production is optimal. The cost of those hours are basically a rounding error and all you pay are grid fees. The issue is the average price are more than 20x of that, and the peak price are well over 100x.
I think this is important advice, especially in the age of LLMs.

GPT3 and ChatGPT were sort of the ultimate "...how?!" moments when they came out, and many of the early high/medium-level descriptions of how they worked were rather strengthening the feeling of magic instead of clearing up things. (Models generalizing on tasks? Wat? Input size is a hard limit, but inside that limit, you can just throw whatever at the network and it will magically work? Wat? Word order is important, so let's tell the model about it by using a completely insane-looking positional encoding? Wat? And what the hell does "zero-shot learning" even mean?)

But even here, a lot of the mystery vanishes if you "go down the stack" and take time to understand the individual components and how they work together. (What does a transformer do and how does it process the input sequence? How does the token generation loop work? What are encoders and decoders and what do they have as inputs/outputs? Etc).

I think Huggingface and the ability to just step through the inference of small models in Python also helped tremendously at that.
Are you paying per GB bandwidth with DigitalOcean?
This is npm with all dependencies stored in a directory. Check them in. You do code review your dependencies right? Everywhere I’ve worked in the last 10 years has required this. There is no fetching of dependencies in builds. Granted, this is harder to pull off if your devs are developing on a totally different cpu architecture than production (fuck you apple).
I find it terrible, but it's what we have.

Boards works for basic Kanban projects, but if you want to dwell into scrum stuff like sprints, burndown charts, etc, it's very bad and cumbersome. You'll have to do a lot of stuff manually that Jira does automatically.

Wiki... It's not good. It's extremely slow, and lacks a ton of features that Confluence has.

Pipelines is godawful, and has been suffering severely from a migration from their "Classic" pipelines to YAML. The funny part is that if you go in depth into YAML pipelines, you'll notice there's a very large amount of things that aren't configurable by YAML. Also has a ton of bugs, many of which have been open for over 5 years. To make matters worse, it's currently in an identity crisis with Github Actions (which has more features and is continuously getting them over Pipelines).

I don't know what's the future of Azure DevOps, honestly I feel like they'll eventually shutter it and move everyone to Github Enterprise.
> "Russia felt threatened"

Are you Russian top military executive or a president of Russia?

No? Then don't speak what Russia did or did not feel.

> No. Nobody wants to invade Russia.

Then don't name Russia as the most probable enemy in your militaristic charts in your military alliance that keeps on expanding beyond reasonable limits.

And don't expand your military alliance that close to Russia's borders.

> The deal since the end of the cold war has been this: Russia can do whatever the hell it likes inside its own borders.

The other side of the deal was NATO not getting any expansions packs. But oh, shoot, it just slipped and happened to expand to... how many countries since Soviet Union got dissolved? ah?

Destroying Soviet Union was not enough for the West and so it wants a piece of Russia now? If you think so - then come and die in Ukraine, you are welcome there.
There are a lot of things in place that prevents Putin from doing what you think he wants.
I doubt donation would be anywhere close to what is needed for development even if that exists.
> Also Zelensky should take that "minerals deal". Despite being sold as such, it doesn't give any minerals to the US, but establishes an Ukrainian semi-sovereign fund with the focus of rebuilding Ukraine, financed through the Ukrainian government's revenue from natural resources and financial injections by the US.

Issue is about not having any security guarantees. Problem with dictatorships is that they won't ever stop. The deal is beneficial for Russia. Russia will see it as a win which will encourage them to do the same thing every few years on repeat. Territory is one of the few limited resources in the World. Dictators desperately crave for it. Any economical damage they think is temporary and they see it as an investment. They certainly don't feel economy being bad. But they will feel powerful, but gaining territory. Only deal Zelensky should sign is one which will ensure that Russia doesn't invade Ukraine or any other countries again. Any other deal is a fake peace. Everyone around Russia and who has experience with Russia knows this. E.g. ex soviet countries.

I think the whole thing was a setup, and while Zelensky made mistakes, even with perfect behaviour, it was bound to go in this direction since the deal presented was not something Zelensky or a person with democratic values should accept, and Trump's goal was to humiliate him into submission from the get go.

Consider how much provocation Trump and Vance had done before that, calling Zelensky a dictator, the patience the man had is already amazing to last so long. But they would've kept provoking him until he says something which they can escalate on to humiliation.

Especially important as Ukraine (unfortunately) only received help because they managed to defend themselves.

If they had rolled over for the Russians, like Trump wanted Zelensky to do, they wouldn't had received the support they have.

No, the reality is that to receive help you need to be strong yourself.

You’re referring to the nationalism I presume. That’s true, but it doesn’t help the overall situation, unless you believe that we should just let Putin do what he wants with Ukraine.
Your argument isn't helped by repeating it. The VC investors have zero leverage over Kagi, since the investment is in the form of SAFE notes. So they cannot force any schedule for return on their investments.

All initial investments into a new business are VC investments, so you're basically saying that any company who has taken investments is going to become a bad business. Which is just not reality. My local grocery store was built by venture investments from the local community. You have to learn and look up the word definitions. The people here on HN have no clue what venture capital is.

A 100% boot strapped company is common when it comes to smaller businesses, but any larger venture will have investor backing. I also have a 100% boot strapped business, but I'm not building factories or international brands.
Trump didn't demand credit or thanks from Zelensky. Vance did.

And Vance was literally just dropping hints to back down in front of the media and to present himself as grateful, because he saw the important talks about to be derailed before they even began:

> Vance: Have you said thank you once?

> Zelenskyy: A lot of times.

> Vance: No, in this meeting, this entire meeting? Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who’s trying to save your country.

(And the entire heated conversation in general)

IMO, the language barrier really screwed Zelensky over.

> [Zelensky not wearing a suit]

Trump's attitude is that how you dress to an event is a sign of respect for the people you meet. Many disagree with this attitude, but if that's how someone you're going to meet thinks, then you adjust to it. Like not showing up in gym clothes to a job interview.
Why not do both at the same time? I understand that a TLSA record in and of its own would suffice technically, but combined with the regular CA-based PKI, I figured the robustness would increase.
> I'm also quite worried by the possibility to filter federal workers based on the union status

Well, from a purely day-to-day, operational HR standpoint, that information is important. Like many things, in the wrong hands it’s easily abused.
I think this is exactly right, but very discordian. It shouldn't happen, it makes no sense. No country in the world has benefited more from the post cold war, neoliberal world order, than the US. It's the very foundation of all of America's wealth and power. It makes zero sense why the imperialist-core would willingly step down from it's bloody iron throne it has worked for 80 years to create for itself. What was the point of it all then? All the wars, all the coups, all the covert-action, all the forced liberalization, the neocolonialism and the establishment of the liberal world order?

If this is genuinely what is happening, this can only be some sort of hostile takeover enabled by the legitimate grievances in the domestic depoliticized populations. Neoliberalism made itself vulnerable to be destroyed from within, it's greed went too far, the inequities to much to be sustainable, the post-political ideology became so extreme that it forgot the old lessons of empire, bread and circuses.

Or as Merkel and Thatcher said, "There is no alternative". Wanna bet?
What a weird thing to say. They are slashing and burning government and routing the permanent bureaucracy of democrats that run the country no matter who wins the election. That’s simply what the GOP has been promising to do for decades, but has been too feckless to do until now.

I think it's not that they don't want it as it's difficult to mix money from commercial activities with donations. That's why they keep the two cash flows separate and are only using Google money for Firefox development, and spend donations exclusively on political bullshit very few people care about.

Although their $7 mil CEO could have found a way to handle this while not running afoul of the IRS, but she decided to play with a bunch of dead-end commercial endeavors instead. So that's on them.

The comparison in general is quite poor. Where is a basic model list? You know, one of the biggest choices when forecasting...

Also, when saying "Nixtla" do they mean TimeGPT or one of their other libraries? Because the former definitely supports exogenous regressors, while they say it doesn't.

I personally prefer Darts because it's very user-friendly, and the devs are responsive,
Yes, I agree that it was premature to say that GPUs aren't suffering from the same symptoms. There's just not enough evidence but the differences in the compute power are still large.

"we never sell your data" but we actually do it...

For me, sharing my data even with "privacy preserving way" is not ok with the spirit I expected from something like Firefox.

Even just something like "someone open new tabs 50 times with your advertisement there" or "someone went to your website last Friday" is not ok to share about me and my activity!

So sad that corporate assholes took control of the project and try to confuse us with bullshit.

For example, they canceled invasive species control programs for the Great Lakes. Is it a success that they saved a modest amount of money, while letting the condition of the lakes further erode?
No reason to apologise - I assumed and tried to give a better reference.

It is an absolute eternity though. A KV lookup is fractions of a microsecond in a managed language like c#. A http request is in the microseconds range on localhost and a smidge more on a performant local network. A poorly behaved local network (busy wifi on an ISP router) is 1-2ms, and I can do a round trip to my nearest AWS region in 10-15ms from my home network.

It’s an absolute eternity, and when thinking about this stuff and scaling, think “is it worth slowing down the normal case by 1000x to introduce an external service”
It's the step before "the US and Russia were always friends, they just misunderstood each other".

AIUI an FP32 core is only 32 bits wide, but this is outside my area of expertise really. Also note that CPUs also have additional ALUs that can't do FMAs, FMA is just the most capable one.

You're also repeating 2×512 / 4×256 — that's per core, you need to multiply by CPU core count.

[also, note e.g. an 8-core CPU is much cheaper than a H100 card ;) — if anything you'd be comparing the highest end server CPUs here. An 192-core Zen5c is 8.2~10.5k€ open retail, an H100 is 32~35k€…]

[reading through some random docs, a CPU core seems vaguely comparable to a SM; a SM might have 128 or 64 lanes (=FP32 cores) while a CPU only has 16 with AVX-512, but there is indeed also a notable clock difference and far more flexibility otherwise in the CPU core (which consumes silicon area)]
