Where is "here?"

I think you're making a couple of shaky assumptions. You're assuming civil society will stand up to Trump. This seems increasingly unlikely to happen.

Also, in the military, there are really serious consequences if you don't do what you're told. It's not the same world as the civilian world. So if an enlisted soldier gets told to suit up for a mission, they'll do it.

Think of the Ukraine war. Many of the Russian soldiers thought they were on an exercise that day, they didn't realize it was a for-real invasion until they got the order.

Lastly, invoking that less than half of Americans voted for this just doesn't mean very much. Trump could have been kept out of office if enough people had gone and voted for Kamala Harris...but they didn't. The people who voted for Trump, hey, say what you like about them, but at least they went to the polls.

This mess is 100% the karma of all Americans.
What region and what field?
IBM of this century in a good way?
Right. OpenAI exhausted all public training content and now they're hiring expert human authors to write proprietary training content in targeted areas. Frontier model competitors are probably doing the same. Over time we'll probably see quality differences between those models in particular domains depending on how much funding they put into generating novel training data.

To draw an analogy it's sort of like the stock market. You'll never achieve sustained above-market returns by trading based on publicly available data because everyone else has access to all the same data. In order to get an edge over other traders you have to do proprietary research (or be faster or cheat).
Is it possible someone will write a CUDA to AMD/Tensor/whatever transpiler (high-level emulator? I'm not sure of the right term) I thought there were a remarkably small number of ops that GPUs perform. Seems like a very high premium to pay for not wanting to rewrite in JAX or whatever.

>France was trying diplomatic means to persuede Russia to curtail it hostilities.

There were two years between these diplomatic efforts and now. What happened in the meantime? It's obvious EU could have invested more in defence. How come they get outcompeted by _North Korean_ defence industry?

Another thing - it's actually very easy to help Ukraine and punch Putin. Just place EU troops in Western Ukraine, to free up Ukrainians for the war. Putin will find out he has to agree to security guarantees otherwise he'll get literal troops in his face. EU statesmen are pressuring US for guarantees they are unwilling to give themselves, when they ought to do it for their own interests.

I think Trump is very very crass to say the least, but you also need to look at underlying realities, and EU behaviour has been poor.
OR, the pie is big enough that a monopoly isn't required. The effect on the economy is so large that all of these companies become money printing machines.

The issue is that head of the HHS has led a years-long campaign against vaccines built atop shit-tier science and outright misinformation, and is part of a political movement that is growing increasingly anti-vaccine.

There is a clear possibility that the results will be cooked or otherwise fraudulent because the secretary will not take "no link" for an answer. Even if such a study is obviously deeply flawed or rigged, the damage it would do to public acceptance of vaccines would be unparalleled, measured in thousands (and likely more) of dead children.
> Is this just shifting complexity from JS to HTML?

Very well said. This is the problem.

There's an old adage that every "scripting" language starts out small, but then ultimately needs all the features of a full programming language. If we start putting programming features into HTML, we'll eventually turn it into a full turing-complete programming language, with loops, conditionals, variables, and function calls. We'll have recreated javascript, outside of javascript.
COMEFROM is one of the many great jokes that form the Intercal language. I recommend reading the language specification.

Of course, COMEFROM's grown up (and very real) sibling is ALTER GOTO in COBOL.

Thanks! Those blogs are incredibly useful. Nice work on the profiler. :)

I have multiple questions if you don’t mind answering them:

Is there significant overhead to native unwinding and python in ebpf? EBPF needs to constantly read & copy from user space to read data structures.

I ask this because unwinding with frame pointers can be done by reading without copying in userland.

Python can be ran with different engines (cpython, pypy, etc) and versions (3.7, 3.8,…) and compilers can reorganize offsets. Reading from offsets in seems me to be handwavy. Does this work well in practice/when did it fail?
Yep. It's also so cheap you'd be stupid not to try compared to other geopolitical options.
What are the domains?
My understanding is that modern touchscreen keyboard use very aggressive predictive text so that the actual "shape" of the keys in terms of where you touch the screen isn't even well defined. This certainly feels like the case in contexts where it's turned off, like Google Search. Is this more of an aesthetic thing?
So, in wanting to "wipe out" the "current generation" of scientists, you're in fact pretty far from as "pro-vaccine" as they come --- like, significantly farther than the median American. That's fine, let's just make sure our premises are all aligned.
I mean, Israel, South Africa, India and Pakistan did it, and the world didn’t end.

The NPT is arguably a relic of a world in which NATO was considered reliable. We may not be in that world anymore. If Putin invades Poland, will the US help? Or will Putin wave the piss tape in Trump’s face and bring him to heel? This is not as clear-cut as one might like it to be.
I think this is interesting in sort of a scifi way because if you can establish a reliable enough characterization of "tone" then maybe you can then create a steganographic side channel out of deviations from that tone: so your adversaries see inane blather about something unimportant, but your comrades can decode the blather into more meaningful messages. Meanwhile, others are hosting your communications for free because what is actually cyphertext appears to them as engagement.

Microsoft is just so bad at marketing their products, and their branding is confusing. Unfortunately, until they fix that, any consumer facing product is going to falter. Look at the new Microsoft 365 and Office 365 rebrands just of late. The business side of things will still make money but watching them flounder on consumer facing products is just so frustrating. The Surface and Xbox brand are the only 2 that seem to have somewhat escaped the gravity of the rest of the organization in terms of that, but nothing all that polished or groundbreaking has really come out of Microsoft from a consumer facing standpoint in over a decade now. Microsoft could build the best AI around but it doesn't matter without users.

We can also see that a decent chunk of Europe went into Afghanistan with us, and even some into Iraq, when they could have easily stayed home.

It's not just the military. For example, a common argument I see for why the US can't have proper universal health care when so much of Europe manages to do it is that Europe is (supposedly) free-riding off of US medical R&D.

I'd also wager that a large part of this group doesn't think anyone should be helping Ukraine.
When the dotcom bubble burst, it affected far more people than just the shareholders and employees of those specific companies.

The economy is interlinked, and a bubble bursting hurts many people.

Part of it is realizing the pains of inefficient allocation of capital. A bubble "bursting" is often an indicator that the capital in within that bubble had been previously misallocated. So the broader pain when the bubble bursts, is partly society and the markets suddenly discovering that the $3.5B probably could've been put to better, more productive uses.
Be that as it may, I don't think most LLMs have figured that out yet.

Current pen tester here and this guy is right. There was a Google blog post years ago where Google planted a site with an unguessable url and indexed it and used edge to surf on the site. Shortly after this site was also listed on Bing.

Why does the "Comparison" table show "Nix" as "No" for "Containerized"? One can [run Nix in containerized environments](https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.24/installation/installing-dock...), [build containerized environments from Nix](https://nix.dev/tutorials/nixos/building-and-running-docker-...), and [even run Nix-generated environments directly in containerd through a plugin](https://github.com/pdtpartners/nix-snapshotter/blob/main/doc...). I believe the former two apply to Guix as well which is also marked as "No" for "Containerized".

>What's the scenario where both Anthropic and OpenAI both live

Pretty much all of them, their risk of failure is pretty much independent. You said software usually has near monopolies, which I agree, there's usually 3 or 4 or 10 big entities. To my estimation because of the need for competition and market segmentation. So the survival of one only conditions the other as a dependent event in the order of 1/10.
If only we could all be as enlightened as you. Tell me, in this fantasy scenario you’ve concocted, did Joe Biden give a speech to Congress bragging about how he’d use this law to take down content that is “unfair” to him? No?

Unfortunately whether someone is checked out is a laggy measure.

Even good honest motivated people can become checked out without even being aware of it.

The alternative is to lay off people as soon as they hit 1.0 (with a severance bonus on the scale of an acquisition). This would obviously be worse, as you can’t take advantage of their institutional knowledge.
Ah, I'm not much of an AI person so I'm probably just lacking context. Regardless I do think it would be helpful to point out - your second paragraph refers to "the tooling" and that you're focused on "showing the dev experience and community aspects". I don't really see how your site or the demo you're showing actually highlights either of those things.

Didn't these just become baseline available? What does it mean, replace them? Will they remove them some day like with import assertions/attributes?
Sometimes things like these make me wonder if the people in charge are conscious about that everything they are putting in will stay there forever. You can't just release an update and remove stuff you ("you" as in: the web devs at your company that happen to be in the same company that builds a browser) don't need any more.

Even worse: AFAIK there's no reason to believe that the $20k/mo or $10k/mo pricing will actually make them money. Those numbers are just thought balloons being floated.

Of course $10k/mo sounds like a lot of inference, but it's not yet clear how much inference will be required to approximate a software developer--especially in the context of maintaining and building upon an existing codebase over time and not just building and refining green field projects.

> Have browsers default block anything that doesn't label their content

"have" is a bit ambiguous here. I assume you actually mean "have the government require"?

in other words, if I develop a browser, I could be fined or thrown in jail for not implementing your "default to blocking anything unlabeled" strategy?

since implementing a browser is a vast undertaking, what about if I maintained a fork of Chromium or Firefox that simply disabled that check?

we had this exact same debate 20ish years ago [0] except it was about the specter of TV piracy and file-sharing. the proposed solution was the same, though - require software that could be used for piracy to incorporate a specific check, and make it illegal to distribute software without that check. it was a terrible idea then, and remains a terrible idea now.

If the books falls apart not from regular wear and tear but from a manufacturing defect that gives it a far shorter life than expected/advertised - then likely yes.
Typically, high sampling rate files are part of a different mastering process than what is published as a 44.1kHz cd audio or 48kHz dvd audio.

Also, you might possibly be sensitive to resampling artifacts if your output device runs at 44.1kHz and your file is 48kHz or vice versa.

Audio testing is hard, and testing on yourself is tricky... But if you have a sample that you're convinced sounds better at high rates than lower rates, I would urge you to put it through a tool to resample it down to lower rates and see if/when you can tell the difference. If the rate isn't an even multiple, it's worth using a tool that can dither; dithered resampling artifacts are less abrasive than undithered... I had some voice recordings to play over the phone, and everything needed to be 8kHz u-law; the 48kHz original recordings sounded better than 44.1kHz original recordings because one is even multiple and the other isn't, but either way, the waveforms looked worse than it sounded.
Yeah, the 20 year timeline here requires some discussion.

We have the concept of the finite warranty. And part of that is because there's a point where it's infeasible to expect everything you buy to last forever nor someone to be on the hook forever for things that don't last forever.

Car warranties are typically three years.

I work on the quantum developer tools team at Microsoft. We put a lot of work into what we call the Quantum Katas to learn the basics via coding - https://quantum.microsoft.com/en-us/tools/quantum-katas

Our VS Code extension is trivial to install (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quantum/install-over...) or just try it entirely in the browser with Visual Studio Code online (https://vscode.dev/quantum/playground/)

To support that last scenario, where the language service, debugger, simulator, even package references, can run entirely in the browser, we built the whole thing using Rust compiled to WebAssembly, and our VS Code extension runs as pure JavaScript and Wasm. If interested you can dig into the implementation at https://github.com/microsoft/qsharp .

There is an age/hormone variable too.

I would have said just eat protein and work out when I was in my teens, 20s and early 30s too.

I am 48 and not on testosterone, yet. I actually can't recover at this point from workouts that burn enough calories vs working out less but more calorie restriction in terms of fat loss. Even 60 minute walks cause me to be more hungry to be able to recover from than what I can restrict without walking.

I am at the final death throws of natural and not being on TRT basically. I have been pushing TRT out since my late 30s but have gone way too far.

I think the TRT threshold probably be when you can't outrun calorie restriction by working out. For me, that has probably been since 43 or 44. By 46 for sure.

Personally, I don't need GLP-1s. So many people though do.
