You seem to be under the impression that a long lasting negotiated peace is possible with Russia. Remember, Russia started this war, and did so by breaking its previous negotiated peace with Ukraine.

If you take the view that “Peace and Prosperity” can only be achieved by surrender, the. Putin will simply do what he’s always done. Invade neighbouring countries then sue of “peace”, and will keep doing that until he’s claimed the entire of Europe. And all of Europe will live under whatever “Peace and Prosperity” Putin deems we’re allowed.

And yes, funding this war will ultimately result in a longer, better peace, and greater prosperity, by making it clear to Putin that he can’t just take what he wants. Otherwise we might as capitulate now and give Putin his every demand, regardless of how absurd it is, because apparently “Peace and Prosperity” means handing everything over to the most violent individual in the room.

I don't think that's a meaningful distinction. In a purely technical sense, sure, not half of the human beings alive at the time voted for one candidate. That has never happened and will likely never happen in the US.

But in common parlance, it is acceptable to say that half the country voted for one or another candidate. It happens all the time:

You could also do things like have a government murder squad regularly kill people in the area. Or give away drugs. Maybe cut down all the trees and put in a pile of garbage.

More seriously, if you are concerned the problem is the network effects of population density, the goal should probably be to replicate elsewhere rather than to disrupt.
> evolving their skills from there

What skills? If you are just asking a computer for what you want you're not developing any skills, apart from maybe how to describe your requirements better†.

If you take the code the LLM outputs and use that as a basis to be able to write your own code I would call that "learning to program" and I applaud it whether you learn from adapting LLM code or by reading K&R cover-to-cover before you even touch a keyboard. But that's not what this article describes—what this article describes is the very deliberate act of not learning anything.

†Technically just describing your requirements in a way the particular LLM you're using responds best to, which is not necessarily "better" in an objective sense.
My last sentence was the sum of what I'm saying.

America is powerful because it operates as a global empire. Not by holding land, but by maintaining alliances. Everything you think is wrong at home right now would be infinitely worse if we didn't control global trade, force the rest of the world to buy our debt, and use soft/hard power to shut down every other actor from the Chinese Communist Party to ISIS - over there, not over here.

A lot of people in America, on both left and right, loathe the fact that we are this gargantuan empire. But the reality is, once you're at the top of the food chain, there is no easy exit. If America stopped being the world's only superpower, it would become a third world country immediately. You point out that America will get blamed for X,Y and Z. Of course. It already does. The only reason you don't experience the immediate consequences of that is that America (until today) held a lot of global sway. You can't just opt out of your alliances and still expect to have the preferential treatment you have, or the power you had.

We live in a republic that functions as a global empire. If we weren't that global empire, we would be Argentina or Brazil. You want to give up generations of investment in American supremacy for... what, exactly? Problems at home will not get better if America withdraws from the world. They will get much worse, because the only thing keeping this country from being a disaster is the fact that it is central to the world order.

And the only people who want it to not be central to the world order, who want to destroy the functions of government and weaken us on the world stage, are the autocrats who find America to be a beacon that they wish their populations didn't have to look at.

America is not perfect and you can be Bernie or Tucker or Trump and argue that we have no business doing it, but it's a lot better for you, me, and the rest of the free world that America is in charge of maintaining order than to have no one in charge of that.

So my statement was not that Europe looks weak, but that Europe is already America's plaything. Only a traitor would hand it over to the enemy.
Sarcasm, or not, I hate your correct assessment in so many ugly, broken people's perspectives.
We have a way... oh, they have spent 20 years in gridlock arguing over political lines. And the Rich apparently won given the current proposal.
That's a really good idea. I have a few tool ideas for the team I work with but I never felt like I had enough time between tasks to implement them
The cold war view is sophomoric in my opinion because this Russia-Ukraine situation is more of a proxy war between the US and China. In the cold war, Russia was the real geopolitical adversary. In this one, they are more of a geopolitical nuisance and a puppet for a foreign state who wants to test the limits of US capabilities and doctrine in a foreign war like this.

Russia is no longer the big bad guy it used to be. Before the war, they had a crumbling economy the size of Italy's.

> I consider life and reality incredibly, painfully boring.

Interesting. The main benefit I've gotten from psychedelics (mostly mushrooms) is that all of life / reality is impossibly miraculous -- even, paradoxically, when it seems dreadfully boring. And also that I've somehow always known this, even when it feels like I've forgotten. It's always right there, just waiting (begging) to be noticed. It's the ultimate cosmic joke.
I feel comfortable calling a lot of the comments gatekeeping "adjacent".

When a post is a "warning" about user's credit cards etc. and it was in none of the "vibe coding" examples, that feels like someone deflecting (but with a gate keeping mindset).

As others have said here, I too have knocked out little apps and sites vibin'. At first (1) it was to see if what everyone was saying about LLMs was true. Then (2) I wanted to see if LLMs could help in languages I was not familiar with. Then, even for languages I knew well enough, I (3) wanted to see an LLM's code to get the modern method of modularization for the language (JavaScript is one that has gone through phases). Finally I came to trust the machine and (4) have vibed code just for my own small projects.
Obviously I don’t mean “hire” in the narrow sense. We shouldn’t admit people to medical school based on DEI any more than we should hire them after medical school based on DEI.
Yes, this is a very predictable failure mode of presidentialist governments.
There’s some gate keeping, but many of us are also worried about the inevitable future where we have to take over someone else’s “vibe coding” mess of code.

The vibe coding style translates to trying a lot of different prompts and small adjustments until it looks like it works. In the past these people copied from StackOverflow and poked at lines until it compiled and appeared to work, but that only gets you so far. Now those same people can bang away at an LLM assistant all day long and produce volumes of code that appear to kind of work.

I’m in another forum dedicated to programming careers. Every day there’s a new thread from someone asking how to deal with all of their junior employees spamming code review with obvious LLM generated code that they don’t even understand.

A lot of the defenses of vibe coding rely on the assumption that it’s in the hands of someone knowledgeable who only wants to save a little time for something inconsequential. That’s fine. What’s worrying is that vibe coding is being used as a replacement for understanding code for many juniors and lazy seniors across the industry as long as they think they can get away with it.
This is a good snapshot of the landscape for those wondering who’s competing in this space - I bookmarked it for that reason. I’m left wondering who the intended audience is for this - devs with no xp or experienced devs looking to leverage new toolkits. Though the former is implied, it seems like the latter is the case.

This comment thread and this author are mostly experienced devs. Obviously, Automating the first 80% of development this way, you get less happy accidents and less rabbitholing on minutiae which make you a stronger programmer, and give joy. But dang, you get a lot of joy from finishing something too.

And also obvious is the cost of deploying and maintaining. All the SDLC things that come with releasing a product are out of scope here, but that’s likely temporary. It would be great to have assisted deploy build pipeline development I can trust in a product that has a complex blend of old, new, in-house and proprietary service development.

Does the browser actually communicate with any external service for enforcing CT?

I don’t disagree with your comment, but if you read the papers where the term was introduced that is very clearly not what they have in mind with the phrase “stochastic parrot.”

Could you point me to reports about this? I would like to read them.
Thank you for the feedback, that's my mistake I'm currently building filters to better search through tools as the alternatives to paid/not paid is misleading.
Just to clarify, Zelensky thanked Trump for the invitation at the beginning of the meeting.
Please please please, pay for the open source tools you use. Even something like a $1/mo subscription helps, and it’s a great motivator to keep going!

I’m working on Lunni, an open source DevOps tool – similar to Heroku or Fly.io, but based on docker-compose files instead (so no vendor lock-in) and using your own servers (so no unexpected charges). Would love to see it featured :-) https://lunni.dev/
> Only they're divided and unwilling to believe in their strength after 80 years of dependency on the US.

And perhaps a tiny bit cautious about escalating a conflict with a neighbouring country that happens to have the world's second largest nuclear arsenal?
It matters completely. Congress makes and changnes tax codes, people vote in congress. People need to remember they are the ones being served and they are in control. Absolving themselves of their representative's choices is the start of the downfall of the system.
Yeah real tricky, cut the budget of a department that is already underfunded that protects our public lands and does honest work serving the public, while cutting taxes on corporations and the ultra rich. Only a bootlicker would find anything tricky about this.
No, people should not be knowingly half assing important things like PII just because "it's been done badly before." We make the good faith assumption that people who mess this up don't know better, not that they're willingly using a tool that will mess it up for them because they don't care.
Though it's worth mentioning that inference from context (which an LLM OCR tool is presumed to do) is precisely what a human transcriptionist does. This can result in "nonfaithful" reproduction where, say, a tyop in an original document is corrected, consciously or unconsciously, when transcribing. Taking into account both the local context (on a given page) and the larger context of a work (within a subject area, collection, etc.) I'd expect an AI-based OCR tool would behave similarly.

For archival / academic work, what would be nifty would be a tool which would note the original text image context, a certainty probability score, and possible alternative transcriptions in cases of ambiguity.

It's a nice idea to get humans in the loop, but realistically this simply won't always be possible, and it's helpful to think of what next-best approaches might be. It wouldn't surprise me if AIs turned out to be more generally reliable in such cases, though I would also expect some wild mis-fires and fumbles along the way.

I'm curious: Is there now widespread concern, or is this mainly a partisan issue among Filipino politicians? Are there any Filipino media reports discussing this issue that you'd recommend to me?

None of the info listed is classified or secret. This article reeks of disinformation.
Your "yes, obviously!" response is refreshingly honest. At least you admit moral values are irrelevant to your worldview—just raw power and self-interest matter.

This isn't the anti-interventionism of principled peace activists; it's naked realpolitik stripped of ethical pretense.

I opposed the Iraq War too—the difference is I don't use it to justify abandoning democracies facing genuine aggression. Opposing misguided interventions doesn't require embracing callous isolationism.

Strange how your selective anti-interventionism consistently aligns with Russian strategic objectives while claiming to represent American interests. You've moved from opposing specific military actions to dismissing the entire concept of international solidarity.

The line between principled non-intervention and moral abdication isn't that difficult to see—unless you're deliberately looking away.
What made me suspicious, immediately, was that in their org chart has "union status".

For payment systems, it's incredibly important for the employer to know whether to withhold some portion of the paycheck for union dues, obviously. But given how they are likely using this information, which isn't tied to payroll, it's worrying and only increases the need for feds to move over to direct pay systems that they are already transitioning to, for their safety. Especially given some other moves the administration made last week in the space of collecting union activity (specifically on stewards) data.
Why should income from labor be taxed at all? Income taxes strike me as fundamentally wrong.
You are right that in most CPUs the 3 or 4 vector execution units are not completely identical.

Therefore some operations may use the entire datapath width, while others may use only a fraction, e.g. only a half or only two thirds or only three quarters.

However you cannot really discuss these details without listing all such instructions, i.e. reproducing the tables from the Intel or AMD optimization guides of from Agner Fog's optimization documents.

For the purpose of this discussion thread, these details are not really relevant, because for Intel and AMD the classification of the instructions is mostly the same, i.e. the cheap instructions, like addition operations, can be executed in all execution units, using the entire datapath width, while certain more expensive operations, like multiplication/division/square root/shuffle may be done only in a subset of the execution units, so they can use only a fraction of the datapath width (but when possible they will be coupled with simple instructions using the remainder of the datapath, maintaining a total throughput equal with the datapath width).

Because most instructions are classified by cost in the same way by AMD and Intel, the throughput ratio between AMD and Intel is typically the same both for instructions using the full datapath width and for those using only a fraction.

Like I have said, with very few exceptions (including FMUL/FMA/LD/ST), the throughput for 512-bit instructions has been the same for Zen 4 and the Intel CPUs with AVX-512 support, as determined by the common 1024-bit datapath width, including for the instructions that could use only a half-width 512-bit datapath.
I found a link on grant fraud from the OIG and to my non-legal mind this confirms exactly what you say.

Conflict of interest and bad accounting practices are the types of fraud being alerted to, but failure to perform apparently is not.

Endless Runway concept could pave the way for future airports (2017)
I’m wondering the same; I have friends who build houses in areas with virtually no zoning and the cost per square foot is $190. (They sell for $200, so on a modest 2,00 sq ft house, he’s putting up $400,000 in capital to build it and earns a $20,000 profit after the 3-6 months it takes to build).

If I did all the work myself, I might be able to cut the price down to $150 a square foot, because materials alone are expensive, and it would take me at least a year of working on it do so. Now I’m “only” spending $300,000, and effectively paid myself $100,000 to build the house.

None of this includes the cost of land.
There have been recent changes to Mozilla TOC - although there are much more important alternatives than browsers, I agree with you. Some of them might include tools such as google analytics or databases.

… I don’t think anyone on “Ukraine’s side” here thinks it’s actually relevant whether Zelensky wore a suit or not. It is right-wing Twitter that’s acting like it’s such a huge disrespect and affront to America.

Your point is that Trump cares about decorum. My point is that Trump cares about power, and he would seize on whatever little thing he could to try to gain more power over our wartime ally. The suit is obviously a red herring.

You think when bullies make fun of a kid’s shoes they actually care about fashion? Duh: no.

When someone calls out a bully for making fun of someone’s shoes, is it because they give a fuck about their fashion choices? Duh: no.

That’s all that’s going on here.
Because this is what happens. You try to bribe companies and they just take the money and say “oh, yeah fuck off”. Just like all the telecom companies took billions of dollars to build high speed internet and did jack shit.

Instead impose tariffs and make building in the US mandatory.

taking things personally is the hallmark of the trump administration. see the press conference with Zelenskyy yesterday.
No. XUL deprecation was after e10s.
You're talking about the term "illegal immigrants" but I was responding to the use of the term "illegals." The term you're using includes the word migrant and is therefore not dehumanising in the same way. The difference is between using illegal as an alternative or a noun. Sorry if that wasn't clear from what I said
OK, so now do you understand why Ukraine is resisting then?

Because when you wrote:

> One of them will have to stop, if neither does, there will be more bloodshed, that is a given, right? If Putin does not stop, shouldn't Zelensky do?

You can say in WWII, if Hitler does not stop, then shouldn't Churchill/FDR/etc. stop to avoid more bloodshed?

It's the same thing. It's an expansionist European land grab by a dictator. Just take how you understand WWII and apply it to this conflict.
While this is the lede there are other activities posted. If there were true transparency with nothing to hide Mr. Wick would not have taken the repos private but just ensured that that all avenues of harassment were disabled. More of concern to me is the potential for a focus on the union status - though with just the screenshots it is quite difficult to tell what is really going on.

The UK recently announced plans to go big on AI even before the Trump meeting. Much to my dismay, as we've actually done a really good job of grid decarbonisation so far and there's no way building a ton of GPU-filled data centres is going to aid that or our spiralling energy costs.

Acetates are still used in the manufacturing process - even pressed records need to be cut once - but they aren't great as products to send to home-users because they degrade from usage very quickly.
