Back before CDJs people in the UK used to cut records like this for playing unreleased music in clubs. We referred to the material used for this as "acetate" but I don't know what it was technically. You didn't do it at home though, so maybe the businesses that did it had to have air filters.

We called these records "dubplates" since this practice came from West Indian soundystem culture. I'm sure there are still DJs that do this today.
Trump's for whatever is good for Trump. Stopping a war so he can bring his buddy Vlad back in to the fold? Sure. Starting a war so he can annex Greenland? Probably also sure.
Why is TSMC operational already while Intel is stuck with a failing timeline?

Is Intel really that far out of it? I guess that’s what a decade plus of near monopoly dominance does to you.
> the whole thing was a setup with trying to pressure Zelensky into a bad deal.

The deal was quite good. It basically coupled the rebuilding of Ukraine (and ownership shares resulting from it) to a fund, rather than the government itself.

If Russia had then taken over Ukraine, they'd have to expropriate the fund to gain any benefits, but that'd also mean expropriating the minority ownership of the US.

> Trump called Zelensky a dictator, which is far more disrespectful than anything Zelensky has done.

Sure, but he is, and that's a huge issue for any negotiations going forward. Ukrainian martial law only delays parliamentary elections, not presidential ones.

If Zelensky doesn't either get a democratic mandate or recognized as an official negotiator by the Verkhovna Rada, any agreements made with him can later just be rejected by Ukraine.
The AI Code Review Disconnect: Why Your Tools Aren't Solving Your Real Problem
Both in coding and arts it is still painfully obvious when something is just pure AI slop. At the same time there are both coders and artists that have learned to use these tools to create some truly unique and interesting things
Which is why they build massive compounds both onshore and on various islands, and acquire the means to move between them unimpeded.

I don’t know if they’ve considered all the logistics but they do rather seem to be at the point where society’s ability to either ignore or impede them is to be done away with.
Sounds like fair play to me. Where's the border between oligarchs attacking other countries and economical concurrence between different countries?
I would just like to say that Broadcom owning Intel's chip design business and TSMC owning Intel's factories would be a horrendous outcome for the industry.

> EU doesn't sell lithography machines

ASML's EUV Lithography IP is provided on contract by LLNL, and much of that IP is owned and implemented by Cymer LLC, ASML's US subsidiary.

And it's individual nation states (in this case Netherlands) that can even make decisions on export controls, not the EU. In most cases, the Netherlands has largely been aligned with the US, and knows how to manage Trump thanks to Mark Rutte.

EU Member states zealously guard their sovereignty in defense/NatSec and foreign relations matters, so it's less a question about the EU and more a question about Netherlands/France/Germany/<insert EU state here>

> requires these things be made in China, Korea or Japan

Most of the supply chain is already dependent on Japan and Korea and has been for decades.

European players have largely been limited to legacy node fabrication chains because of the heavy focus on the automotive industry in Europe and the capital crunch during the Eurozone recession.

That said, there are a decent number of European suppliers (eg. Merck for chemicals, ASML for EUV Lithography, Zeiss for optics, etc).
That's not what a "typo" is. A typo is a typing mistake, not a lack of knowledge or error in thinking.
1Password does not work as well as in Firefox (switched with the ToS change)
People in the US really have a hard time hearing this:

It's probably because TSMC is in China. They're across the straits from the world center of the electronics industry, instead of across the Pacific, and they can hire the sort of people who pay private tutors for their kids instead of the sort of people who refuse to wear facemasks in a pandemic of a deadly respiratory infection. TSMC executives in Arizona have been consistently amazed at the laziness and ignorance of the workforce there.

60 years ago the US had the human capital and industrial base to found Intel. Now it probably doesn't have the human capital and industrial base to sustain it.
Bottled water is highly profitable so if bottled water were safe we would know all about that. It has less safety regulation and is contaminated with micro plastics.

Oh please.
> No, they’re coupled issues — eg, open markets forces domestic labor to compete unfairly.

You're still describing economic policies though, not diplomatic ones, and while they're not entirely disconnected, trying to fix international economic issues by burning down alliances is likely to result in a lot of negative second order effects while not even addressing the main economic concerns.

If we're ascribing bad faith motivations to particular viewpoints here though, I'll point out that conflating concerns about trade policies with the idea that America should entirely abandon any interest in the rest of the world is enormously helpful to countries that would like to pursue far more aggressive imperial ambitions currently being blocked by American power. Having rightfully angry people in America's rust belt become convinced that the only way to revitalize the industries that used to power their cities is to let Russia reform the Soviet Union has got to feel like the political victory of the century to Moscow.
We’ll have a list like that when the obscuring smoke clears. The FDA division clearing medical devices, for instance, used no taxpayer money.

The median case will be that spending stays even because of legal bills. I predict net Congressional spending will increase because DOGE itself will require a massive bailout.
I don't buy the fully amorale narrative ever.

It's just as irrelevant as saying that state of individual cells is something you should ignore when establishing diagnostics of a herd.

There's a difference between low pondering and null influence within equations. And if the complexity of the phenomenon exceeds what we can forecast relevantly with equations, then pretending that we know which factor will have significant role all along the development of the situation and which are meaningless is not acting with much sagacity.
Actually, this could be a good thing.
> black applicants were more than 9 times more likely to be admitted to medical school than Asians (56.4% vs. 5.9%), and more than 7 times more likely than whites (56.4% vs. 8.0%)

If the number of Asian applications is 10x the number of spots available, their admittance rate can never be higher than 10%. No “discrimination” required. Same for white applicants.

If you only have 10 black applicants and you accept 5 of them that’s a 50% admittance rate. Which looks huge and you can scaremonger about how much bite and Asian people are unfairly getting sidelined.

Until you see there were 10,000 white applicants with a 8% admittance rate, ie 800 people.

800 from 8% vs 5 from 50%.

Again without absolute numbers the percentages can be very deceiving.
I have no clue why people keep saying Biden was useless. He had to handle the COVID pandemic at its worst (after Trump 45's early actions made things worse) and managed to ease the economy to avoid (or at elast, delay) a recession compared to most other countries. He had to handle the decisions with the Ukrainan war which let the stand strong for 3 years, and unlike Trumps false promises he was starting to bring in local American production in light of realizing we were losing to China. He may not take full credit, but he also had an incredibly effective FTC/FCC that was harkening back to the days of attacking Robber Barons.

He was a good (not great) president in unprecedented bad times. He's no FDR but "inaction" would have had America in a truly awful situation. So where did all his "useless leader" narrative come from? Did people really get that brainwashed from one bad night as the proceeding precedent is spouting nonsense on the daily?
There's absolutely no way they already have all the $7.9b. That's not how government contracts and accounting works. DOGE/Trump can just slice whatever remains of the rest of the contract and then they'll bicker at each other in court for a decade until nobody cares anymore.
I'd argue that the Nazi with nukes may soon be the US.

> We certainly have our share of dumdums here in Ohio but I think the actual leadership is fairly reasonable, and they do really like $$ and wouldn't do anything to jeopardize investment.

Mike DeWine is governor.

On the Federal level, Ohio has Representative Jim Jordan and the current VP of the US, J.D. Vance.

How do you measure that “the actual leadership [of Ohio] is fairly reasonable”?
Tesla Fires a Manager Who Criticized Elon Musk on Social Media

Not to take away from your accurate point about oil, but I think it's silly to say the "we're still in the cold war" crowd were out of touch in this of all threads.
Isn’t Zelensky the worker who is getting disrespect from their boss? Seems like the roles are reversed.

I have some serious doubts about these rumours. TSMC wants to buy Intel's fab why, exactly? Even assuming it isn't shut down for antitrust reasons, what are they gaining? A fab that is struggling to compete with the ones they already have? Lithography equipment they can just buy from ASML or whomever?

Not to mention the fact that the rumours themselves caused a rally in INTC price that makes acquisition far less attractive.
Who is Zelenskyy a puppet of? If you say the Americans then that meeting was a strange thing.

Having worked on the infra side of azure, I'm not surprised. Network is centrally managed and that team was a nightmare to deal with. Their ticket queue was so bad they only worked on sev 1 and the occasional 0. Nothing else got touched without talking to a VP and even then it often didn't change things.
"The best doctors he can afford" != "the best doctors he's willing to listen to".

Consider for example Steve Jobs: despite his wealth, he resisted his doctors' recommendations for medical intervention for nine months in favor of alternative medicine.
That's going to be difficult after such a public media campaign giving people the idea that they're trying to crash the economy. Even if this will also take a lot of industry-level incompetence to achieve.
That would be more of a psychological hack. I've never seen this happen. My experience is people behave a certain way (care about what they do up to a roughly defined level) and 10 years later they behave the same. Self esteem tends to change or fluctuate and can be thought, but personally i believe that is not enough for a non-troubleshooting mindset to turn around. Unless you could convince me otherwise?
A jit interpreter would be much cooler. Don't compile to machine code, directly execute machine code from your AST. maru did that.
Sadly enough it is actually a win win.
Here is Putin 2002:

“I am absolutely convinced that Ukraine will not shy away from the processes of expanding interaction with NATO and the Western allies as a whole. Ukraine has its own relations with NATO; there is the Ukraine-NATO Council. At the end of the day the decision [on Ukraine joining NATO] is to be made by NATO and Ukraine. It is a matter for those two partners.”

Why should nations be beholden to verbal agreements that were never ratified by their elected officials, between parties that didn't exist any more in the case of the Warshaw pact and whose legal successor nation official stated they had no problem with it.

Thats silly.

Should NATO have never had any talks with Russia about a possible NATO membership because of that verbal agreement with the leader of the Warshaw Pact Gorbachev?

>Most Americans would not agree with a 1939 “ascendant dictator in America” narrative and yet you do.

Yes, I'm sure of that. Just as Germans in 1939 would also not agree with an "Ascendent dictator of Germany". `People are pretty good a rejecting inconvinent realities when they're moral compass is on the line.

It will time out, lots...

I don't think you are someone who can just "do things" if you think a good way to de-obfuscate 5MB of minified javascript is to pass it to a massive LLM.

It wouldn't have helped if you hadn't, since they've now deleted all non-Microsoft accounts.

Reminder to whomever is reading: if you bought the game during alpha, you have the right to all future Minecraft games and a premium account forever. Microsoft barely tried to uphold this by giving a free Bedrock license to alpha buyers for a limited time several years ago. I suppose you'd have to sue them now if they break it, and the judge will wonder why you bothered to bring a $20 dispute to court.
My algorithm reduces the number of summations by computing all expected values at once, so I can't compute just a single value individually. For a single value, I think the naive approach is the only option. In my first naive implementation, computing 5,000–10,000 values took around 5 minutes, and I didn’t improve it much beyond that.

Once all values are computed, one approach is to search for the highest expected value, but that’s not the only criterion to manage: (1) there's a huge variance issue (you’ll win a lot, but with very low probability), (2) if you're placing multiple bets overlap reduces their combined value.

Great work on your approach! I’ll try to understand the code you linked, but I suspect it’s not doing exactly the same thing (or only for a very specific case). In my code, there's a function called SHN_boxes (which takes ~1s in Colab for this problem), and it’s a shortcut applicable only in some cases (not in this one). Did you use a similar approach?
Claude 3.7 in Cursor is eager – sometimes a bit too eager
That's one of the most frustrating things about the wrecking ball far right administrations going through America and parts of Europe right now. They're causing damage that will take 5-10 years to fix, so even if we get more sane administrations, the public will complain "why aren't we seeing any improvements" because all they can accomplish at first is cleaning out the rubble.

Worst of all, it could become cycle. Trump / DOGE is basically doing a wholesale cleanse of left-leaning public sector employees at all levels, replacing them with yes men and cronies. A new administration will have to revert that, meaning firing and hiring and training people yet again. And an administration after that might try do undo that. What a quagmire.

In general it's a classic that left-leaning governments fix various policy and economic problems, which often carries big cost, which gets them voted out, and then the fruits of that labor are claimed by / wrongfully attributed to rightist administrations.
Easily imaginable: every country with big enough nuclear arsenal could be viewed as a country holding the fate of the world in its hands.

But since there can be multiple such countries at the same time and since no one has stopped developing arms/tech even further - I wouldn't call it a paradox when one nuclear country feels threatened by another group of both nuclear and non-nuclear countries coming closer and closer to its borders.
You make a fair point. Effectiveness should ultimately be measured by results, not just methods.
What we are seeing from Europeans in response is rather weak sabre rattling.

They don't seem to give an impression of being able to work out a coherent policy or show any initiative.

The EU leaders, include Ursula Von Leyen speak big noble sounding words, but do very little.

One thing that will make the re-industrialization of the West fail is if it turns into a rural/flyover state development program.

Chinese manufacturing is efficient because of the tight supply chain integration and centralization that has emerged in the big cities of the Pearl River Delta Area.

The decades old dream to manufacture cutting edge chips in Europe has also repeatedly failed because it keeps being turned into job development programs in Eastern Germany.

I'm not sure if Putin/Russia can sustain option 1 for much longer, given the huge economical, military and political drain, especially in combination with effective sanctions.

So keeping it up might destabilize Putin, without further escalating the conflict. Seems like the sanest of bad options to me.
Every time I've made a Microsoft account it's let me create it, then two days later locked me out if I don't give up my phone number.

LLM Schemas
The calculations within each unit may be, true, but routing and data transfer is probably the biggest limiting factor on a modern chip. It should be clear that placing 16x units of non-trivial size means that the average will likely be further away from the data source than a single unit, and transmitting data over distances can have greater-than-linear increasing costs (not just resistance/capacitance losses, but to hit timing targets you need faster switching, which means higher voltages etc.)
Having access to everyone's ChatGPT sessions does seem pretty valuable as it can now be used for training / fine tuning other AIs. I suspect this is where the business case comes from.

You raise fair points about interpersonal skills. We don't view communication as irrelevant - we're helping qualified candidates who struggle with interview anxiety showcase their true abilities. While you see it as cheating, we see it as leveling the playing field for those whose anxiety masks their potential. However, we respect your perspective on interview integrity.
The real problem is the totality of it. We've gone far past calling them "illegal" to saying "they're poisoning the blood of our country", which incidentally is also language used by Nazis.

The things they say consistently ratchet toward justifications for genocide rather than away from it, and that's how it works - one small step at a time, where people explain each one away as not that bad.

But each step is toward the day when you can say "... and therefore we must implement a final solution for the problem of illegals. I wish it didn't have to be this way, but they forced us to by poisoning and invading our country."
