I've built viral products and lead development on AI-powered tools. I'm a senior software developer specializing in AI applications for education and document processing. I code across the entire stack, have sharp design intuition, and deliver standout UI/UX. I also regularly run technical workshops and communicate complex ideas clearly.
Dams don't double as energy storage in the same way as batteries. Their rate of recharge is limited by precipitation. You can't run a dam turbine in reverse and fill the dam with excess power (you can with pumped hydro, but we have way less than 5 TWh of that). The best you can do is totally shut them off and let them refill. And in reality, dams have to constantly release a minimum amount of water to avoid creating a totally dry riverbed.
It should tell you something that Google doesn’t even use Flutter for most of their cross platform apps.

> With a fulltime job and a family to take care, I do not have the time nor the energy to learn each new framework that comes out.

I hate hearing this excuse. My number one job is to always be employable because I do have a family.

If I had your attitude I would still be trying to find COBOL jobs on mainframes.
The performance alone says nothing. What about the battery life, size, weight, temperature, fan noise, and quality of the touchpad? These are important trade offs in any laptop.
> Imagine Apple facing 1000% tariffs unless they take down content that's critical of the president. It's not outside the realm of possibility.

It's totally not. And the funny thing is nobody will speak up.
Nothing turns me away from a product or service faster than "download our app to continue".
Off-topic: Is it possible to tell your InterroBot how many levels (or degrees) of outlinks to follow?
Why? We’re told they are mechanically much simpler. Electric motor. No transmission. Why do they cost more?
I'm old enough to have been around this bush twice already.

In the 70s your argument was made against emerging Japanese makers. Unknowns like Toyota, Datsun (now Nissan), Honda etc.

Then in the 90s it was Koreans entering the market. Daihatsu, Hyundai, Kia etc.

Now it's the Chinese brands arriving as well. The incumbents will talk about "quality" all day long, but in truth European quality was always a bit of a myth (British Leyland anyone?) And the heyday of BMW or Mercedes quality is long gone.

The gold standard for quality today? Probably Toyota or Honda.

So yeah, laugh off the Chinese options as low-quality.

I know the folks at 538 meant well, but I think the ultimate impact of their work was to accelerate the politics as entertainment, team sports-ification of elections, to our nations detriment.
I’m reminded of what was posted here a few days ago: https://tintin.dlazaro.ca/year

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t LPDDR require soldered RAM (or a CAMM module)?
Wait, i wouldnt hire someone who is ok spending so many hours after the first few hours, it shows me that he or ave can't handle the sunk cost trap and will fall again and again. But ok, that's my wr9ng opinion about this
I have the same problem, trying to find a new laptop upgrading from a maxed out 9-year old XPS 15.

I was hoping Dell would come through with their new lineup but it hasn’t even been released yet and honestly their website is garbage at marketing it.

I might just bit the bullet and get a Mac but I’d hate the lock in. Alternatively, I can just stick with my current setup…

> It would be great if everyone could be wealthy enough to buy all their necessities and never worry about money, but that's a pipe dream.

Easily possible if we fix zoning laws, encourage building more homes, and reduce regulatory capture that prevents competition in industry.
They're flooding the zone with corruption.

Here's one you probably didn't hear anything about. The state department tried to purchase $400 million worth of armored cybertrucks.

When caught, the administration claimed it was a 'clerical error.'

> Do they have dedicated circuits between all the consulates

Yes .. multiple parallel and redundant dedicated highly secure encrypted clean room communications between embassies and home with the bandwith for multiple high res video data, satellite feeds etc.

> because that would be grossly over engineered for the task.

You think US embassy networks are grossly over engineered to be resistant to Chinese, Russian, North Korean, Iranian, Isreali, spy networks?

Over engineered? .. there are museums dedicated to sneaky arse spy gear, eg:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thing_(listening_device)

and yet being unable to handle the tiny addition load of some once per minute analog sensor data?

In real terms the air quality network costs ride for free on what already exists.

Almost all global sensing data published by the US receives a lot of negative pushback from other countries around the world. I don’t think most people are aware of this.

The reasons are myriad. It makes it harder for other governments to control narratives in their own countries. It undermines efforts of governments to develop their own capacity; the US gives it away for free but those countries are not the customer and it does not serve them per se. It sets a much higher bar for domestic implementation than they have the capacity to implement. There is a sense the US exploits this data for their own ends. It doesn’t just irritate China, it irritates everyone.

Making the issue more political, the US edits and censors the data it publishes for its own purposes. This isn’t a secret but it taints the perception of US neutrality when making this data available.

The geopolitics and realpolitik of international sensing data is not clean.
You’ve shown an interesting insight: hunting could not have been only cause of the near-extinction of the buffalo. However, the way you’ve presented it is extremely misleading. It sounds like you are blaming the natives for the downfall of the buffalo.

I do not believe this is what you intended to get across, since the evidence you have presented doesn’t support it. Please be careful about how you share information. It is as important as the information itself.

The buffalo did not just disappear and the extermination was most definitely planned. Regardless of the logistical impossibility of that goal via hunting alone, this was the goal and the goal was achieved. This is well documented. The technicality between “preventing a bounce back” and “seeking extermination” does not matter, because the goal was extermination.
Hm, I didn't think to add Haiku to the support table. It's probably Tier 3; the standard library support is minimal, and we don't support cross-compiling its libc. Patches definitely welcome.
So many ultrabooks and even some high-end productivity laptops cap out at 32GB of soldered RAM, while portable gaming devices are packing 64GB of upgradeable RAM. I feel like that dam is going to break soon.
If I did the math correctly, a positive-EV lottery is still guaranteed to make money for the state, because the total value of tickets purchased always exceeds the jackpot.

The lottery is always negative-EV for the average ticket-buyer, but it can sometimes be positive-EV for the marginal ticket-buyer.
Yes. And "the world would be better if more people were reasonable like me, now here's my hot take...", and using angry responses to demonstrate how reasonable he is in contrast. He ran out of content and resorted to ragebait, like most internet pundits.

Really - a massive, fuck-off tablet serves as the interior controls?

I thought car manufacturers had realised that touch-screen interfaces are simply terrible for drivers, and I thought customers were largely agreed in their hatred for them.

I would like to know how many accidents are caused by modern cars' usage of screens in the interior.
It is not an app or delivery service that enslaves humans. Politicians and lobbists do. Working in delivery doesn’t have to be modern day slavery with no viable escape routes for many. All an app does is limiting interaction between parties involved, which may be stupid but not enslaving.
Did you use fair scheduling with ReentrantLock? That could account for a difference of intrinsic locks (synchronized) was a fair lock.

This type of benchmark is a pathological because the optimal scheduling policy is for one thread to starve all the others until it finishes, which is basically never what you'd want in a real project.
This is an incredibly lazy comment. I think you and most people would agree on the immense utility of Apple products. There’s also no evidence that demand increases with price in MacBooks.
I'm sure all it is is some sensors at each embassy that sends a HTTP POST or MQTT message or whatever to some central server at the EPA to send measurements, and then the AirNow app has access to that data via some API that reads from a DB.
> Why did Russia continue to supply gas?

Cause it makes them money. Artillery shells cost money.

> Clearly the European strategy was the one that you probably praise Trump for, trying not to isolate Putin and Russia by buying their gas and using appeasement.

I am not praising Trump, sound like your strategy of appeasement of an enemy is to hand them hundreds of billions of euros.

> Russia was benefiting massively and still broke their promises and broke trust, for what?

Exactly. They were fools and now are acting confused Putin took advantage of them, right after they saw him capture Crimea. Moreover, they criticized Americans for telling them not fund a war criminal.

> Personally, you're argument and history supports the idea that Trump is making a massive mistake with it's new "strategy". Russia only understands force.

They only understand force, I agree. I am not sure why you suggest otherwise?
This is a well-known approach: verbalizing your thought process (either by speaking aloud, or by writing) is something that's long established as a good tactic for making sure that you're actually thinking through something, rather than glossing over it. Ironically, I've seen people bemoaning that use of AI will rob people of that.

I agree that there's potential here, though, and do genuinely hope that we find ways to make human intelligence better as we're going about AI research. Even pessimistically, I think we'll at least surface approaches that people use without thinking about, which is on its own a good thing, because once you know you're doing something, it becomes a lot easier to train yourself to do it better.

So much for anti-discriminatory education efforts at the Federal level in the USA. https://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/laws-preschool-grade-12-e... Mandated support for disabled kids too.

Does the Pell Grant go away too? They manage that. I used that to get my Computer and Information Science degree. I had to work, to get through school, too, but the Pell Grant helped. Is that gone with this move?

Why should I pay taxes .. i guess for roads, water, and people with badges to carry guns? A fickle military that allows our enemies access to our secrets (first term) and allows them to dictate our policies (second DJT term).

No information gathered, soon, at the Federal level about education institutions' performance, for the sake of policymakers' wisdom.

This could be a "drive the car off the cliff" kind of maneuver for education, instantly making our (US) current class system much worse.

I wish more support would go to https://represent.us/ and their American Anti-Corruption Act.

I remember a 1990s lottery event in which a "buy all combinations" was attempted, but their physical machines they acquired were partially deficient, and they simply couldn't physically acquire enough tickets in time (as the procedure was relatively time intensive), but they still won with something like a 75% probability of success
Are you sure about that?

89% of counties turned red. Looking at 1.5% total difference is missing the forest for the trees. Trump got all swing states.

My worst nightmare is a future where self driving cars become geolocked from areas for whatever reason.

'I'm sorry Dave, I can do that. You don't need to be in the neighborhood where the protest/strike is happening/drugs or other illegal things are sold/xyz reason, and police have geolocked the area from entry for the good of the public'.

That will give so much power to the ruling class. I intend to keep a non-self driving car as long as possible.

We're probably going to add support for cross-compiling FreeBSD's libc in the near future (and I imagine the other BSDs as well). From there, I think the only blocker for Tier 1 is getting it built and tested in CI.

I design digital experiences that make complex systems feel natural. 20+ years building products that help people explore connections and meanings through interactive design:

- Created In Other Words & OtherWordly (idea-linking word games), securing $295K NSF SBIR funding for AI/ML integration
- Pioneered SpicyNodes & WikiNodes (organic visualization platforms) with 415K users and 100K+ iOS downloads
- Launched time.gov at NIST through novel interagency collaboration
- Led teams of engineers, artists, and writers to build products that reached millions

Seeking product leadership roles where I can apply my experience in game mechanics, information design, or visualization. Strong background in taking products from concept to market with innovative UX that transforms complex information into engaging experiences.
Good catch! The name was obviously inspired by the Hebrew word. My goal was to create a "good" Bible app because I couldn't find one out there!
There’s a guy on Youtube named JRose11 who is on a quest to beat Pokemon Red with all 151 of the original Pokemon individually. He’s about 100 Pokemon in at this point. He doesn’t use crazy speedrunning tactics (he wants to approximate a normal-ish playthrough) but because he knows exactly where to go, what to do and what’s skippable almost all of his runs are under 10 hours (many are under 6 and he did it with Mewtwo in just under 2).
Imo the big problem is that 'affordable mass-market EV' is just a contradiction - once you build a mass-market EV most people would willingly buy - one with >400km range with decent enough fast charging for road trips, you've very close in terms of hardware budget to something that's decidedly upmarket, like a Model 3 - just add a bigger chassis, some tech gadgets and a more powerful motor, all of which cost little compared to the battery and inverter.

For an ICE car, this issue doesn't exist - you can put in a 900cc 80hp engine into a tiny car with basic trim and the end result would still be a car that can take you everywhere.
The kinds of workloads that could truly leverage the M2 Ultra over the M2 Max were vanishingly small. When comparing the M3 Ultra to the M4 Max, that number gets even smaller, because the M4 Max will have ~15% higher single core perf. The insane memory available on M3 Ultra is its only interesting capability, but its still not big enough to run the series of largest open source LLMs.

Hot take: You can tie yourself into six knots trying to spin a yarn about why the M3 Ultra spec is super awesome for some AI use-case, meanwhile you could buy a Mac Mini and like 200 million GPT-4o tokens for the cost of this machine that can't even run R1.
If our current conversation cancelled out some other conversation two lunatics are having on Reddit or Xitter, I would agree.
> Last night, as President Trump delivered his State of the Union address, the Wall Street Journal reported that ABC News would lay off the remaining staff at 538 as part of broader cuts within corporate parent Disney.

Did Trump's policies cause the layoffs, or does Nate just happen to mention Trump's address? (forgive my ignorance - feels odd to mention the address if it had nothing to do with the layoffs, but I'm not aware of any obvious connection)
I agree with basically this whole comment, but the sad/ironic/whatever part of it is though even though Nate Silver was doing the thing you are describing ("actually, Trump has a real shot of winning"), afterwards he got constantly dinged (either by people incorrectly conflating him with the 99% models, or by people who just didn't actual listen to him) for "getting it wrong" because he "only" gave trump a 30ish % chance of winning.

I still come across it every once in a while and it probably has the highest ratio of level of infuriating-ness to low-value of the stakes of the opinion of just about any political opinion I can think of.
Air Quality network usually refers to just having at least one air quality monitoring station. There's no special network here, they usually just use 4G.

The stations themselves run between $100 to $50,000.
$10k to run a 4 bit quantized model. Ouch.
Audio interfaces, video capture interfaces, network interfaces, etc etc etc.

> Windows 3.0/3.1 offered a 386 Enhanced mode with significant benefits:

Which was a follow-up to Windows/386 2.0 released in 1987.

I guess the big difference is few people ever used Windows 2.x, even in its 8086 variant, and use of its 386 variant was even rarer. Whereas Windows 3.0 was widely adopted. And by the time Windows 3.0 came out, 386 machines had become much more common too

Well, the Golf is an extremely popular car, yet isn't the cheapest in the C segment by far. They achieve this not by cost cutting, but by making the benchmark car to beat.
This cannot possibly be a good faith argument. Real world is full irreversible cause to effect. This isn't some tech company running an A/B experiment. Let's cut healthcare, oops more people dead, but can't bring them back. Let's skip saving the environment, oops low sea level cities are flooded

Paying $240k/year for company-wide access (if you’re a Fortune 500 company), isn’t bad.
I run Mistral Large locally on two A6000's, in 4 bits. It's nice, but $10K in GPUs buys a lot of subscriptions. Plus some of the strongest LLMs are now free (Grok, DeepSeek) for web use.

One of the programs they "turned off" was medical care provided to HIV-positive pregnant women in Africa to help ensure that HIV wasn't passed on to the child. There are now more children who have HIV, who didn't need to have HIV, but Musk thinks you can run a government like he runs Twitter, so here we are. I don't recall if that program got "turned on" again, but just the act of shutting it down for some period of time did significant harm.

Saying this is all "irresponsible" is vastly understating how messed up this all is.
I find it useful in the general way that having corroborating sources for election data is useful. If the election is reasonably close to models, exit polls, etc. then it is more likely to have been run fairly.
No, I think Nate was pointing out while everyone was distracted by Trump State of the Union, 538 was cut so few people would notice.
>You already said the word "default". One can simply adjust the rotation time to 600 seconds or even shorter.

1. setting it to short intervals eventually causes issues, because it fills up your router's routing tables and eventually causes it to crash.

2. Having a short rotation period doesn't help because people typically don't time their incognito tab usages to when the privacy IP rotates. Moreover if you have any apps/tabs in the background that are logged in (eg. gmail), it can track your new privacy addresses as they're being rotated. The only way to fix this is to somehow integrate privacy addresses into the browser itself (ie. having separate privacy addresses for regular/incognito browsing), but that doesn't seem like it's going to happen any time soon.

>The control is in _your_ hands. Unlike CGNAT, where the NAT owner is the one making decisions.

You're trying to imply this is a bad thing but it's unclear how the CGNAT owner can sabotage anonymity in this case. You're mixing your browsing with tens or hundreds of other customers. That provides strictly better anonymity compared to privacy addresses that rotate but are shared by every app/tab on a given system.
