I'm a still relatively early career back end developer, and github basically acts as a portfolio for anything that potential companies would want to see.

Think about what a portfolio site demonstrates. For a front end developer, these sites provide an opportunity to flex your design intuition and raw development skills by putting something flashy together. Your site could make a difference because it's demonstrating that you can do the day-to-day tasks you're being hired to do.

For a back end developer, the results of our work are less immediately obvious for someone who isn't already technically inclined, and by the time you talk to someone like that, you've already cleared the initial screening bar that a portfolio site would get a front end dev past. There's no real visual component to the work I do, so a site doesn't demonstrate anything related to my job. I still maintain a personal site with some rough details, but I don't think it's really helpful for my career.

I would also consider that front end devs generally enjoy working on the front end, while back end devs generally enjoy their work on the back end. So I'm way less likely to do web dev in my spare time, especially since 90% of portfolio sites have no back end whatsoever.

> Key provisions include requiring platforms to implement default safety settings for users under 17, provide parental oversight tools, and limit data collection and targeted ads for teens aged 14-15, who would also need parental consent to use platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X.

We may have dodged a bullet here. The big platforms would have (mostly) no problem implementing compliance, but smaller sites? Forget it. This would therefore be one more step toward squeezing small sites offline. No.

Not to mention there is no way to guarantee results from this.

> provide parental oversight tools

Good, but see my statement above. Implement this? Yes. MANDATE this? NO.

> limit data collection and targeted ads for teens aged 14-15

Explain to me how you prove that someone is 14-15?

This is a bunch of nonsense fluff and I'm glad it didn't pass.
I wonder if they could charge lower rates for people who live in poorer parts of the world.

$49/month is almost nothing to me now, but it would be prohibitively expensive for a 15 y.o. me in freshly independent Czechia.

I suspect it would also be prohibitively expensive for most 15 y.o.s in the developing world today, and these are the guys and gals who stand to gain the most.
You swap it over to a desktop UPS that can come along with the server during the physical move. No downtime as long as you have redundant PSUs and you can walk fast enough to beat the battery draining.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.

There have been thousands of border conflicts in Europe's history where a larger nation annexed small territories inhabited by its own ethic minority (or even majority).

Most of them have not ended in a world war.

We do not need to retake Karelia for Finland to prevent a world war. We no not need to take Gibraltar for Spain to prevent a world war. What about Northern Ireland? How about retaking Northern Cyprus for Greece?

I'm not approving of the annexations, but at some point the war needs to stop.

Replace this with those who borrowed money for expensive degrees of specious value and the bondholders who will be repaid at par.

if that was done in the first place would you have understood the implication and reasoning behind it. Perhaps that this article has made light of something troubling someone else can make the research claims and provide facts. Nothing wrong with this submission. Not long ago my long time google account was shut down from inappropriate material hosted on my drive which was not made clear to me what it was. Along with 100's of photos of my mom and family that i don't have any copies of were deleted. I was under the assumptions it was my naked photos when i was a kid with my mom that triggered the Child-Porn detection system which is a shame that all those photos got deleted without any evidence or notice to what actually happened. So no i don't agree with your opinion, However i ask you to allow people the ability to surface insecurities that we all share with large tech.
The beauty of it is that you control it. And even scale it to console stuff. For my use, that’s desirable.

That said, I can totally see where a less DIY solution. VPNs fundamentally aren’t novel and there’s nothing wrong with Nord and similar products. (Although I don’t put any stock in the no logging claims)

I call it a tax because it is a government organized/run operation with the objective of removing wealth from individuals for (ostensibly) the betterment of the citizenry as a whole.

My complaint is about the targeted nature of lotteries and the extremely poor investments they make for individuals who tend to already struggle in this area. This is compounded by the nature of the education system being operated primary by the same government.
VGA?
It just works, literally. I haven’t tried nord, but I’ve got clients on Mac, Linux, windows, rpis, it all just works. I used to run pivpn, but the key exchange magic Tailscale employs is so much simpler and it somehow works on networks blocking unknown packets like the pivpn I had set up on some random udp port.

Ok a 12% differential on a LAN is kind of surprising. I wonder what Tailscale could possibly doing that would be causing this issue because aside from the control plane I don't believe they're in the data path all that much. Maybe WireGuard on Windows isn't as optimized as it is on Linux?

Reading Apple’s press release, all performance comparisons are with previous Apple products, and mostly in regard to Apple only software.

For businesses running ~$10k+ workstations, there are options outside the Apple ecosystem. I mean, Apple’s systems can be fast at the $10k scale, but at $100k you can get a lot of modular horsepower outside the ecosystem than with 10 $10k boxes.
Any idea what the sRAM to uRAM ratio is on these new GPUs ? If they have meaningfully higher sRAM than the Hopper GPUs, it could lead to meaningful speedups in large model training.

If they didn't increase the memory bandwidth, then 512GB will enable longer context lengths and that's about it right? No speedups

For any speedups You may need some new variant of FlashAttention3 or something along similar lines to be purpose built for Apple GPUs.
Wasn't me.
Why did it take so long for us to get here?
What I'm saying is that you're comparing apples to oranges.

A steak in a nice restaurant and its accessories will always be more expensive than a burger meal at McDonalds.

Apple has invested enormous effort into making high quality software. They offer the only operating system on the market which is any good at all. But their business model is selling hardware, so that's where they have to bake in all their costs. And their hardware is top notch as well. They could change their offerings to charge a high basic price on all their devices and then offer RAM and SSD upgrades for the low prices you are mentioning. But they choose instead to have a lower base price, knowing that the only people who need more RAM or storage (need, not want), are professionals who can pay for it.

It's the same in a nice restaurant. You're not paying for the ingredients, but everything around it including staff, the environment and so on. That's why a beer is so god damned expensive when you go out.
> Math and history. One example explainer: https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/80552/total-tax...

I honestly have no idea why you think information about aggregate tax revenue over time is relevant to your original claim. If you want to see the tax rate increased on the upper extremes (like the top 400 mentioned at that link), I would too but it's a drop in the bucket.

> Citation urgently needed. That doesn't jibe with literally any report I've read about such things, except from anti-tax extremist organizations.

From https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/eu/top-personal-income-ta...

The average statutory top personal income tax rate in the EU is 42.8%.

"For comparison, the average combined state and federal top income tax rate for the 50 US states and the District of Columbia lies at 42.14 percent as of January 2025, with rates ranging from 37 percent in states without a state income tax to 50.3 percent in California."

Feel free to call the Tax Foundation an "anti-tax extremist organization" if you'd like, but I wouldn't agree and they are just reporting facts here.

Maybe not if all you're doing is hooking some nodes together. That said, I have personally used these Tailscale features that with a quick glance I don't see Meshnet having:

- ephemeral nodes are super useful for things like attaching a GitHub action runner or a fly.io instance to your tailnet

- Tailscale's ACL system has a ton of capabilities

- getting corporate buy-in is possible, vs trying to get a business to buy into Nord meshnet for actual workloads
To be clear… are you suggesting that b/c one party started doing something damaging that we should all forgo trying and continue doing something that is a clear and present danger to our atmosphere’s ability to provide UV protection?

I’m also curious what issues you suggest Europe focus on that would require abandoning these straightforward, if slightly more costly, manufacturing efforts.

You're explaining it nicely and then seem to make mistake that contradicts what you've just said – because code and text share domain (text based) – large, generic models will always out-compete smaller, specialized ones – that's the lesson.

If you'd compare it with ie. model for self driving cars – generic text models will not win because they operate in different domain.

In all cases trying to optimize on subset/specialized tasks within domain is not worth the investment because state of art will be held by larger models working on the whole available set.
I think they are referencing the Nicolas Cage movie, Lord of War.
Raise taxes progressively, we can afford it, but the people in control don’t want to so we’re going cut to the bone government services that aren’t intended to be profitable or a business while the debt continues to grow (as there isn’t sufficient discretionary spending to be cut that would materially lower the debt trajectory).

Maybe agreeableness?
Could we stop talking about top marginal income tax rates as if graduated income taxation wasn't a thing? You will pay less taxes in California than Mississippi or Alabama if you are poor.

Even if you are a single person in California making $400k/year (which I would call pretty rich!), you are only paying 8.38% of your income in state tax (you don't even hit the 13.3% bracket until a million dollars or so?). In total, you are paying 39.22% of your income in taxes (including federal and payroll). As a baseline, if you are in Texas which doesn't have state income tax, you are paying around 31% for the same income.
Honestly, good riddance. We shouldn't revive it.

It was a bill that granted overboard powers to governments who were and still are actively salivating over the idea of weaponizing it to suppress speech they don't like. There's no more, "oh it's fine they won't really use it for that" discussion to be had because the current administration is just saying it out loud and publicly now. Social media sites sympathetic to the administration have already implemented the bits the opposition was worried about. The bill would make it so you can't just go somewhere else.

IME it adds about (at least) 1ms of latency over local networks. You should be able to use a different dns suffix to use the LAN interface instead of Tailscale.
Like any large company, this does happen and the fix is the same. You replace someone at the top with a mandate to change the culture and they take hard looks at things and replace at the next level down as needed, and rise and repeat until you've replaced enough folks that the ship has turned around. It takes time, but it's the healthy way to turn the ship. There's nothing special about government employment being any different than private sector.
The tailscale.com/tsnet package in Go [1] is really useful if you've not looked at it before: you can make single binary HTTP or whatever servers that are only exposed inside your tailnet.

Their golink project [2] is a good example (and useful itself), but I've used it to build "peer to peer" comms for one application, and to host an API and Svelte SPA to control some other things in a tailnet.

I'm happy to see some acknowledgement of the world before LLMs. This is an old problem, and one I (or my team, really) was working on at the time of DALL-E & ChatGPT's explosion. As the article indicated, we deemed 3.5 unacceptable for Q&A almost immediately, as the failure rate was too high for operational reporting in such a demanding industry (legal). We instead employed SQuAD and polished up the output with an LLM.

These new reasoning models that effectively retrofit Q&A capabilities (an extractive task) onto a generative model are impressive, but I can't help but think that it's putting the cart before the horse and will inevitably give diminishing returns in performance. Time will tell, I suppose.
Okay so I read all of [2] -- it doesn't support your argument like you want it to.

The author argues for impoundment pertaining to exclusive powers, which are very few and limited in the Constitution. I actually agree with the argument laid out in the piece, but I don't think it supports the idea that Trump is within his legal right to impound Ukraine aid.

The core argument is that Congress can't legislate the President's exclusive powers away, and I agree with that. The author then applies a "gloss" test which is used by legal scholars to help interpret the Constitution by taking into account a variety of historical and contemporary contexts.

They apply this test to the idea that POTUS is within his right to impound funds that intersect with this exclusive power as CIC. And they show historically it has been the case that POTUS has impounded WPC funds - military weapons, personnel, and construction.

Key arguments here are that Jefferson did it in the past, and the President is better situated as the head of the executive branch to identify waste in the huge defense complex than Congress, so he should be able to say "Actually we have enough, thanks." despite Congress wanting to spend more.

So we can agree that POTUS has a narrow impoundment power within his exclusive executive authority. The operative word there is exclusive, because where this argument fails is that we're not talking about WPC funding, so Ukraine aid is out of scope for this argument.

However, they do provide this argument. Some choice quotes from the piece you linked:

Curtiss-Wright did not hold that the President is free from Congress’ lawmaking power in the field of international relations . . . . In a world that is ever more compressed and interdependent, it is essential [that] the congressional role in foreign affairs be understood and respected. For it is Congress that makes laws, and in countless ways its laws will and should shape the Nation’s course. The Executive is not free from the ordinary controls and checks of Congress merely because foreign affairs are at issue . . . . It is not for the President alone to determine the whole content of the Nation’s foreign policy.155

The dissenters, Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Samuel Alito, and Justice Antonin Scalia, did not agree that the president’s recognition power was exclusive, arguing instead that it was a shared power with Congress.156 Like the majority, they also repudiated Curtiss-Wright. 157 Only Justice Clarence Thomas clung to a Curtiss Wright conception of presidential power in foreign policy.158 Therefore, eight Justices agreed that Congress has substantial legislative authority in the foreign policy sphere.

In the words of Justice Kennedy, “[W]hether the realm is foreign or domestic, it is still the Legislative Branch, not the Executive Branch, that makes the law.”

With Ukraine aid, we're not talking about WPC impoundment, we are talking about foreign aid impoundment, and a very recent Supreme Court overwhelmingly agreed that can't be done unilaterally by the President, because it's not within his exclusive powers.
It really depends on how much your son wants to do math.

> If you "borrow" $100 and "buy" $100 with it, nothing has changed. You didn't spend anything hence you didn't incur any additional debt

This is incorrect. You’re confusing a neutral net worth with a lack of debt. They’re not equivalent.

If you borrow $100 then you have incurred $100 of debt. It doesn’t matter if you still have $100 in your hand, you still have $100 of debt to service.

That last part is important: The government would have to service the interest on the money they borrowed. As time went on, the effective size of the debt will grow.

> "set a dollar amount you want to spend on each category and then exercise some self control"

How is that different from "give each dollar a job"? The only difference I see is that it forces you to make the categories add up to the amount of your paycheck.

set this up today, the documentation is useful and the quickstart very helpful, the dns stuff pretty much works exactly as it's supposed to and is just a bunch of copypasting (in my registrar's ui).

specifically for mox there was some things i would have liked to see:
explain how the webmail isn't accessible on the public ip by default - i don't know how many of you want to be in a specific vpn for checking your email, but i sure was surprised i couldn't reach it, but had to activate it in config (and first figure out how to even do that).
mox also doesn't redirect to https by default - imo it should, since it already includes the convenient automated certificate setup (which worked great).

maybe it is intended for a different environment, but since it recommends not running another webserver on the same host, i really don't want to access the webmail from the local server or by http.
i like most of my services being available behind a reverse proxy, there it would make more sense. maybe i'll look into that variant later, but the documentation isn't quite as complete as i'd like.
