The first time I took shrooms I had a very "thing in itself" moment where I realized that, because every time I thought something, all the sudden it became true, my perception must be affected by my cognition and that there were things outside the boundaries of my cognition that I could not necessarily perceive. Worst part was I still had to get up the next morning to teach, I started saying the weirdest shit in my practical anthropology course...
What I missed here was the importance of keeping careful notes as you go. What exactly happened when we constructed that weird input and commented out line 353? What hypotheses are we entertaining? Can we rule out any of them based on our evidence? It’s very easy to dupe yourself if you’re doing it all in your head.
If you give someone a bomb, or give someone a USB stick with a virus, or give someone a car with defective break, you are absolutely liable. Think about it.
BLM controls the shit land. The only people who want it are ranchers for grazing. Our Parks and Forests contain vast resource and cultural wealth.
After yesterday, hardly baseless.
that's how they were able to turn up an new "Department" in a week with no oversight. the D in USDS now stands for Department.
Exactly - in Hungary and Russia!
I think you would agree that success often depends on access to resources and support system - not everyone starts at the same point. Many who are celebrated as self-made often benefit from inherited advantages, which complicates the meritocracy narrative.
I'd say causality and entropy are contingent on the (very compelling) assumption that time is real. We could be Boltzmann Brains, or something even weirder. Do I believe that the world is terribly different from what it appears to be? No, but ultimately our perceptions of the world are merely representation held in our minds.
While you are right about the limited applications for this material, the reason cannot be creep, which should be negligible in this kind of ceramic even at the working temperature. Certainly it must be better regarding creep than the alternative metallic alloys.

In a rotating part, subject to high centrifugal forces and vibrations and shocks, I think that the risk of unpredictable fractures may be too high for a ceramic, even a composite one.

Silicon carbide ceramic has low toughness. A composite should be better, but still far from metallic alloys.

I have seen mentions of research about the feasibility of using silicon carbide composite ceramics for rotating parts, with the goal of reducing their mass and increasing their working temperature, in comparison with metallic parts, but it is unlikely that this has reached the stage of being used in production engines.

Ceramics, e.g. derivatives of zirconia, are frequently used for turbine blades, but only as ceramic thermal barrier coatings on metallic blades, not for the body of the blades.
It's nice that .NET has kept the number of web frameworks somewhat limited. They had the unfortunate ASP.NET Web Forms, than course corrected to ASP.NET MVC (which was solid but had too many API variations during the .NET core era), and now offer the really slick Blazor framework that lets you use C# on both the server and client... I hope it gains more industry momentum and Microsoft keeps investing in it.
Yes also a gray beard and been around long enough to tell you RHEL is and will continue to be legacy and will continue to dwindle into obsolescence. You mentioned the cool stuff Fedora is doing, that is not RHEL. CoreOS is the future.
A fix would be if you use unrealized capital to secure a loan, that unrealized capital amount to secure the loan becomes taxable. Of course that would tax people trying to get home equity loans though.

The problem is that people will always probe the tax code for loopholes that weren't considered. It's a cat and mouse game, except the cat is fat and lazy, and gets paid by the mouse.
I skimmed the text. No mention of NAT. We're in 2025. Everything is still NAT. Lack of a flat, IPv6 Internet is the problem. Everything is flextape on top of band-aids on top of glue to support content via IPv4 and NAT.
That's $10 per, then the buyer needs to pay for shipping, and then taxes. So we're now at least $20 for your etch-a-sketch vinyl.

Before I bought one of these, I insist on being able to play the vinyl and hear it first. So that means you have to be local to me. There are way too many mastering decisions that need to be made correctly for vinyl to sound good. And no, that does not mean being able to take something from your iTunes library mastered for your shitty earbuds.

I do not trust some hobbyist to get any of that right to the point of me willing to pay $10. However, if someone with actual experience with mastering had one of these then I'd be interested, but that dubplate will be way more expensive than $10. A pricetag of $10 tells me the person doing it has no clue about anything involved and has priced themselves too cheap. A person with experience would go broke from the time involved to make any money at $10.

Also, 20 records per week? JeebusChristo that's ambitious. Your sales team would kill your margins at $10 per. Because if you're trying to sell and make the vinyl all by your lonesome, just take the money you were going to invest in getting set up and light it on fire. It'll be faster and much less heartache.
The Pilot Petit works well and has been reliable.
Not really baseless when he was caught with classified documents after he was selling them to the highest bidder.

Yes americas right wing courts blocked justice from being applied in this case but this would hardly be baseless.
Zen 5 still clocks way higher than GPUs even with the penalties. Additionally, CPUs typically target much lower latency for operations even per-clock, which adds a ton of silicon cost for the same throughput, and especially so at high clock frequency.

The difficulty with transitions that Skylake-X suffered especially from just has no equivalent on GPU; if you always stay in the transitioned-to-AVX512 state on Skylake-X, things are largely normal; GPUs just are always unconditionally in such a state, but that be awful on CPUs, as it'd make scalar-only code (not a thing on GPUs, but the main target for CPUs) unnecessarily slow. And so Intel decided that the transitions are worth the improved clocks for code not utilizing AVX-512.
I suspect the people who hate typescript are people who don't want to be told they ought to be using it. I have used very many languages and I have no particular love for any of them. They are tools to do a job. Love and hate (in this context) are a waste of time.
China has done that by ruling internally with an iron fist and ruling externally with financial influence.

The U.S. is actually trying a play from the same playbook by abstaining from deploying troops.

When was the last time you saw China getting torn apart in the media for failing to prop up a failed state? They're doing "greenfield" diplomacy without historical baggage.
Right, well ... the DOGE staffers (which assumes they are actually employed) seem to be primarily focused on contract decisions and execution.
Honest question: do you feel rich?

> it’s pretty hard to show an employee is not acting in an official duty

Not if they’re violating a court order without executive privilege.

Wick officially works for the USDS and CFPB. If Bessent and Trump haven’t given a clear order to violate the law, his actions cease to be on behalf of the United States but instead enacted in his personal capacity. Similar to a park ranger walking into a military base and trying to run off with some kit.
That is fair. But a more accurate analogy would be that the sales representative that goes to people house is reporting to the store what color people are wearing at home.

Firefox is installed on my computer, not on a VPS owned by Mozilla. I'm not browsing Mozilla website. Why are they entitled to record and share everything I do?
Given they have to be vetted the same way as any other government employee with that access, including security clearances, I’m not sure these will succeed.

At least to my mind it’s not clear how a government employee can have access but for doge it’s breaking the law. The devil is in the specific details.
it's a none issue and the ones depending on the scam, are screaming the loudest now. lol
I do the same, stay current by hanging out on HN. When a stack or concept appears to become mainstream or important for my career I’ll do a small personal project with it. I don’t try to become an expert I just want enough exposure that, if I had to, I could become productive in short order. I consider it employment insurance.
You're not really making an argument.
> and have pushed for their integration into NATO for decades

That's not true.

I don't know of any Western governments that have been "pushing" for NATO integration for Ukraine. Certainly not the US. And certainly not "the West" as a whole.

There have been internal debates in the West over whether Ukraine should be admitted to NATO if Ukraine wants to. And way back in 2008, Bush Jr. commented that he supported Ukraine on a path to NATO membership. But that's not "pushing" -- that's allowing in response to a desire from Ukraine.

> The west has immense influence on Ukrainians

I don't know what this even means. Do you think Ukrainians don't think for themselves, or something? That seems awfully paternalistic.
Propably just a show to make the EU swing by helping the poor Ukraine
I don't have internal knowledge of Apple's implementation but it could potentially be layered on top of Metal for Apple Silicon (probably not for Intel) though if so it probably uses internal-only capabilities not exposed to Metal users.

OpenGL ES 3.0 is newer than OpenGL 4.1. The feature set is broadly very similar. Native macOS OpenGL is a backwards compatibility feature and not intended for new development. Lack of KHR_debug and general bugginess makes it a poor choice for learning OpenGL or deploying software on. On the other hand, WebGL is currently supported and extensively tested, with much better validation and error messages and much (much, much) better cross platform compatibility.
And the only weapon required was making a constituency of American ignorance, resentment, and mean-spiritedness.
Which is hilarious because they promised DOGE was going to be all about transparency

....and that was a lie.

Also they've been hoovering up cash like it's going out of style. I think at last count DOGE had slurped up $40M and nobody knows where it's gone
It is super productive. It will scale for 99% of the apps. There are common gotchas that hurt your performance, mostly related to ActiveRecord/DB layers. Like neglecting n+1's or not making sure indexes for actual query paths are in place. You can offload most of overhead to background jobs, caching, etc. You can also throw more money to scale backend servers but it's not the cheapest stack out there.

Also, sorbet/tapioca are great tools for static typing. Admittedly, there's some work to get the proper setup. They have limitations too (don't expect TypeScript levels), but it's worth it. I found a few sneaky bugs that were in the open for years, just by typing one large-ish model (despite it being tested thoroughly).
> Lots of countries in the world operate without income taxes.

Okay, but "lots" feels untrue and saying "operate" is borderline deceptive - there are 21 that I can find from a random infographic [0]. Human rights superstars like the UAE, NK, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia; above-board corporate havens like the Cayman Islands; and places I can't come up with a quippy joke about like Monaco or Vatican City.

I'm no geopolitics expert, but it looks like one thing that "functional sovereign states meaningfully participating in the world stage without oil money or some clear outside source of capital" all have in common is income taxes.

I don't disagree with the idea that Apple may have peaked and started turning the corner into anti-consumer behavior.

That said, even as an Apple detractor, I don't think it's fair to say they haven't continue driving innovation since 2010. Off the top of my head: Apple Watch, the M-series chips, and even to a lesser degree AirTags are all big technical innovations that are now entrenched in our societies. Yes pieces of this all existed before, but so did the pieces of the iPhone. I do think they tend to put out the best-executed products when they see it through (not sure if that held up with Vision Pro since I never tried it).
I may be wrong, but I feel that the gist of posting the direct source is to avoid websites reporting a news regarding that source.

Such as, amd announcing new graphics card and a blog making a post about it. And it is understandable that it would be better to post amd own's page.

I would be curious about dang opinion on posting non og link that only contain the og source repackaged in a more accessible way

> The truth is economic growth hasn’t been occurring in real terms for most people for a long time and the rich have been transferring money from the poor to themselves at a dramatic rate.

It blows my mind why pension funds continue to invest any money at all in PE and Hedge Funds. It's a straight up wealth transfer from the working class to the investor class. States should pass max fee laws for their own pension fund allocations.
Billionaires are transnational; they can live wherever they want. The only thing tying them to a particular country is that country's restrictions on their capital flows. They don't really care if it's a liberal democracy or not, they just want the lowest taxes and free movement of capital. If an area becomes undesirable to live in, they'll move somewhere else.
I appreciate the response with a lot of interesting details, however, I don't believe it answers the question I had? My doubt was why is it so that the CPU design suffers from clock frequency issues in AVX-512 workloads whereas GPUs which have much more compute power do not.

I assumed that it was due to the fact that GPUs run at much lower clock frequencies and therefore available power budget but as I also discussed with another commenter above this was probably a premature conclusion since we don't have enough evidence showing that GPUs indeed do not suffer from same type of issues. They likely do but nobody measured it yet?
Another possibility is that the uber-rich techbros can see that, if we keep heading the way we're going, the whole thing comes crashing down. We've been speedrunning a far-left utopia for quite a while now, and it's not going well. Whether it's some kind of currency collapse, internal civil war, or something else, this is a death slide towards something bad.

Assuming that's the explanation, then radical change isn't surprising. How radical can be argued, but turning the rudder on the ship of state can't be.
That was to answer the previous question. Also the point is why Chinese companies can produce infra work in a cheap and fast way. With regard to US companies, I don’t see that is possible with MSFT, AMZN, AAPL, and likely GOOG as well. (Don’t get me wrong, they all have solid infra, probably except Apple)

I know I've looked it up before, but for whatever reason I can't explain how open address hashmaps work; how does it know to check the next bucket on read after a collision on insert?

I know it's a dumb question, and that I've researched it before. Strange.

(I recall Python first reporting the open address hashing hash randomization disclosure vuln that resulted in the PYTHONHASHSEED env var, and then dict becoming an odict OrderedHashMap by default.)

> they have to be vetted the same way as any other government employee with that access, including security clearances

We know this wasn’t done when they were rummaging around the Treasury. Courts are granting restraining orders because the DOGE bros acted so incompetently. (It’s generally incredibly hard to restrain government employees.)

> it’s not clear how a government employee can have access but for doge it’s breaking the law

Same way a park ranger can’t walk onto a military base and start rummaging through documents. Or start tweeting them. (Or hell, the President himself tweet your tax return.)
I've found the vast majority of my issues with JavaScript is the modern tooling itself. I really like the new language improvements over the ES5 e.g. not having to worry about scope/hoisting issues, async/await, fetch is much simple to what came before.

The tooling on the other hand is often a Rube Goldberg machine transpilers, compilers etc. Some of the information is documented, some of it isn't and it can be a massive time sink to get everything working together and have your IDE / Editor correctly configured.

TypeScript can be nice, but I run into rough areas where you are actively fighting the type system.
Indirectly, we can point to the creation of Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) in the 1960s to ensure that higher income taxpayers paid at least some minimum despite the plentiful deductions. Some of the things not allowed under AMT are state and local tax deductions, interest on mortgage equity debt (not acquistion debt), personal and dependent exemption deductions, deferring tax on compensation due to Incentive Stock Options (ISO), some kinds of accelerated depreciation, and so on.

It's a good question, and, in the worst case, I would disagree with the Trump administration and lose some trust in them. There is also the possibility that missing context would provide reasonable justification for the order. For instance, I think "Russian election interference" investigations have mostly been a partisan operation with little evidence that such interference has had any meaningful impact on U.S. elections. These investigations are mostly used to make the political right side look bad by tying them to Putin. It would be reasonable for the Trump admin to defund these investigations as we have much greater problems to be worried about.
It’s also to automatically deduplicate submissions of the same source.

I made atleast 3 web apps for personal use (hosted on my home server, accessible only within the local network) in Asp.Net (on linux) and I can say it is the best development experience I have had in a while. It is as boring as it gets, batteries included, performant and excellent docs. Can be very stripped down setup using Minimal APIs for simple cases, but can support more complex requirements using Razor pages or MVC.

I very strongly believe it's only Microsoft's reputation that is hindering it's adoption outside enterprise settings (and very deservedly so).
RedwoodJS seems like the best attempt at a Rails in JavaScript these days, worth a look.

There’s also Adonis, which I’ve spent less time looking at and seems like it has a less visible community at least.

There are a few others in the category but I tend to forget their names.
> You really haven't thought about it hard enough if you haven't tried writing it down.

Absolutely.
Thinking isn't knowing.
Cognitive scientists have the term "illusion of explanatory depth",
the experience we all have where we think we know more than we do.
It's not until we try to explain something that we find our understanding is much more limited than we believed.
> now that Ukraine lost the war

Ukraine hasn't lost the war, what are you talking about?

Maybe in a couple more years we'll get to the point where that is clear, or even less. Or maybe Russia's economy will collapse (as it is currently teetering) first, and runs out of tanks and the ability to pay soldiers.

Just because US support seems largely gone, doesn't mean European support is. Europeans have been providing more financial support than the US has. And even if the US won't be paying to send US weapons to Ukraine, doesn't mean Europe won't be able to pay the US for those same weapons to send to Ukraine.
If they are just data analysis and gathering, that's not exactly contract negotiation.

> Do you have this evidence? Can I see it?

Yes: You made the erroneous claim that Native Americans domesticated dogs. I corrected your error by pointing out that dogs were domesticated prior to the arrival of humans in the Americas. Thus, knowledge is not evenly distributed.

"I meant intelligence, not knowledge," you counter, to which I retort: The idea that intelligence is evenly distributed among populations has been soundly refuted. There are demonstrable differences in every metric of intelligence thus far devised both between and within populations. Incidentally, intelligence by itself is not sufficient for colonialism. The Han Chinese typically score higher on IQ tests than Europeans, and yet it was the latter that conquered the world, not the former. "You're proving my point!" you protest - I never made the claim that Europeans conquered the world due to their intelligence, I rejected the notion that this had anything to do with luck, because it kept occurring over the course of dozens of geographies and hundreds of years.

Let's suppose it was luck. Do you have this luck? Can I see it, have it defined? What would it mean for Europeans to have conquered the world by means of luck? Does it manifest out a magical aether like the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow?
Employment wise I would be a little cautious. At least in 21-22, there was still a pretty big pool of rails devs from the 2010s, open positions seemed to prioritize YoE with Rails much more than other openings.
> I thought the whole point of vinyl was that it maintains analog from recording to playback

That may be one point for some people, but not mine. I have my music on vinyl and that is how I listen to it. Regardless of the quality or analog vs digital or any of that, if I want to own an album, it needs to be available on vinyl for my to purchase. There are albums I want that I cannot purchase today. This is _my_ walled garden.

You still see cassettes used today because of the ease of home distribution, and bridging the gap between those indie music makers and music consumers like myself is something I am looking forward to.
