It seems like everyone on the internet either hates Elon or loves him. I would like to explore a third perspective: Maybe he's a guy who genuinely meant well at one point, overworked himself, has fallen on hard times, and is now hurting both himself and others.

So many considered him to be a hero 5-10 years ago. Is it really right to turn your back on a hero when they're going through a crisis?

I don't know if constant vicious condemnation is the best way to let someone know they need help.
Not to detract from the good points made here, but it does confuse me to see "panic!()’s are hiding even in the most innocuous places like unwrap() and expect() calls". They're not innocuous at all -- they should stand out just as much as writing panic!(). Panicking is literally unwrap and expect's only job.
My optometrist set the adjustable lenses to what he thought was in the right ballpark and then had me read the chart at my requested distance for the computers lenses. A few adjustments, and done. They're perfect! Bonus: text is a bit bigger now, and I can read smaller fonts than I could before getting computer glasses.

The downside of this is that I now find it very difficult to read computer screens and my phone while wearing my distance lenses. The practice of holding things further away to be able to read them always was, I suppose, inevitable.
Personally I am more concerned about the western propaganda in the western AI tools

But it doesn't have to be. It's RISC-V on chiplets combined with IO-chiplets. Skimming the stuff, one of those would suffice to run rings around current iGPUs of APUs at around 120Watts. While having some LPDDR5X soldered on as VRAM, and two SO-DIMM Slots for further expansion of that. Basically at least twice as fast as anything else, while only using half of the Watts.

Now the 'envisioned' price would be interesting, for the different SKUs.

Oh, and giving some of them to hotz/geohot, too!
I think your point and mine can both be true at the same time. Cannabis is the subject of a past regulatory regime that restricted nearly all psychoactive substances popular at the time (natural or synthetic). The actions of that regime do not go away when the zeitgeist changes. The current regulatory regime is much more dovish, and that is visible in the difference between the controlled status of chemicals that became popular recently versus similar ones that were popular 50 years ago.

Wow. The headline seemed like click bait but seeing who is involved this seems to be no hyperbole.

I'd say it takes balls of stainless steel to doxx Putin's hitmen.

And he doesn't back down.

This is next level bad-ass.

Damn.
If I was Russia or China, I'd have entire teams focused on exploring the spoils of everything DOGE is doing. The sheer velocity alone should be enough to wreak havoc and create many exploit opportunities.
That’s simple, once all of the Gazans have been relocated, it will be peaceful. And then we will say that the Gaza holocaust never happened (and they deserved it).

Gaz-a-Lago is going to be such a peaceful resort it will be unbelievable. Believe me!

How do you figure this was generated by an LLM rather than typed by a person who just cares about treating everyone with compassion, acceptance, and empathy?

Also, that sentence is grammatically valid. What's your gripe with it?

Would you not characterize Edgar Maddison Welch, the man who entered the comet ping pong pizzeria in DC with a loaded rifle[1] as being volatile or prone to violence with little to no warning? I certainly would. He's a prime example of a person suffering from PDS - his stated motivation was the widely discredited "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory which involved a pathological fixation on Hilary Clinton. Sadly, he wasn't able to get the mental health assistance that he needed and passed away just this January after pulling a firearm on police officers who pulled him over for a traffic violation[2].

Of course, if I was an LLM with a training cutoff before January 2025, I wouldn't have knowledge of that event, much less a relevant link from AP news.

There is such mention:

> These range from claims that the U.S. operates secret bioweapons labs in Ukraine to fabricated narratives pushed by U.S. fugitive turned Kremlin propagandist John Mark Dougan claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky misused U.S. military aid to amass a personal fortune. (More on this below.)

I tried doing it too but it's a lot more involved. I don't have this anti-D thing though. Just normal blood.

You need to go through an interview, a medical check and various forms.

Once I went through all that they told me I can't give any :(. Multiple sex partners, regular tattoos etc. I did want to and was prepared to do it regularly. I can see how they are having difficulty getting enough. But anyway I tried.

I wish they were better at screening blood so I could help.
To be fair, you definitely don't need a Rust implementation to get that advantage: a simple wrapper will do the trick.
I think that is true regardless.

The cosplay engine has just been told what its cutoff date is as part of the role it's been given to play before you and simply tries hard to stay in character. Nothing surprising about it if your mental model is right.
I’m so sad that my page[0] never got archived… I started it in 1997, a few years before Yahoo bought it, and I think at some point I didn’t migrate the account or something, and it went away before anyone was really archiving anything on geocities.

- [0] geocities.com/Colosseum/Loge/3484, I’ll always remember the URL. It was a Detroit Red Wings slash Jimi Hendrix slash Smashing Pumpkins slash Star Wars fan page I made in 7th grade. I just kept putting more stuff on there.
I had what you described. This correlated significantly with reduced sleep / increased stress at work / increased blood pressure. Eye strain and headache would come within a couple of hours.

Some time ago I prioritised sleep, inner calm, strict 9-5 work etc. Both blood pressure got better and eyestrain / headaches went away soon after.
Sanskrit is written in Devanagari script which is used by nearly a billion people, so any language that groks Unicode identifiers should handle it fine. You want to pose a challenge, maybe try something like Rongorongo or Klingon. Me, I want to write my code in actual hieroglyphics.

CSM is required for tools that aren't UEFI enabled. memtest86+ for example can't use a UEFI GOP and requires a BIOS capable VGA. Can't be used with a UEFI-only video card (e.g. recent ryzen igpu).

Also, there is still plenty of hardware out there that only comes with BIOS-capable option roms. These still require CSM if you want them to be be visible at boot.
So it makes you think before typing and compiling the code?

Doesn’t look like a con to me :)
ok, with those assumptions, i agree of course. it doesn't make sense to expect bay area pay for remote work. full or part-time. but i don't see that expectation in the thread, which is why your response seemed a bit odd. for myself i'd be happy with $50k USD remote part-time. is that more realistic?

I can see a number of forces at play:

1) Cost -- beancounters got involved

2) Who Do You Think You Are? -- someone at Microsoft had enough of OpenAI stealing the limelight

3) Tactical Withdrawal -- MSFT is preparing to demote/drop AI over the next 5-10 years
I remember it was controversial and "the beginning of the end" when you no longer had to host at a 4-digit number and could, gasp, use a string for your URL: www.geocities.com/mywebpage instead of www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/5372 . The "Acropolis" is because the main top-level "neighborhoods" quickly filled up so you had to pick a sub-neighborhood, making your URL even longer.

Another fun aspect of all this is all their neighborhoods had unpaid "community leaders". The hot neighborhoods got tons of leaders so your in was to pick an "up and coming" neighborhood and apply to be a leader there. All the neighborhoods had themes and rules which the community leaders enforced but they weren't strictly enforced. When GeoCities IPO'd, they threw all their community leaders a few pre-IPO shares and swag, which was super fun and appreciated as a high school student. :)

Zen Browser is shaping up to be a nice fork, but if development on Firefox/Gecko stagnates or stops entirely due to Mozilla folding or something, it’s gonna be in a tough position.
Why would you assume it's LLM slop when Python's been around for decades? Lots of folks are enthusiastic enough about "Python magic" to have done excellent writeups of literally ever dunder function under the sun on a single page, at a level of detail and excellence that the python documentation, bless its heart, cannot ever hope to match.

- Passion pages are there to do a deep dive into all the crazy shit you can do with that information =D

Different oils vary a lot in how inflammatory they are. In addition, heating during extraction and/or aging or storage conditions can lead to cross linking which makes oils very bad for health. With the exception of olive oil's virgin labeling, I'm not aware of any easy way to navigate this health minefield.
Why scala spark over pyspark?
I don’t have the legal chops to know, but as part of the judgment couldn’t Google be forbidden from developing a browser or influencing the development of other organizations’ browsers so long as it holds products/services that constitute a conflict of interest?
Not a lot honestly. You're not involved, it doesn't affect you in any way, no one is being harmed, why would you bother forming feelings about it?

Generally when I stumble upon a couple kissing in public, if I think anything at all about it, it's something along the lines of "Oh, good for them, they're in love," and I'm happy for them.

I'm not sure why the genders of the participants would be relevant. I've got my own gender preferences for relationships (I'm a straight man) but again, I'm not involved, so my preferences for myself aren't relevant to the situation.

In a larger sense, one of the dumbest things you can do is form opinions for no reason. You aren't obligated to form an opinion on everything you come across.

It's literally self-destructive to feel some sort of negative feeling about this. You don't have to. Why would you want to?
Also there's more incentive to lie about things that can disqualify one like sexual practices which is not a good idea.
Literally everyone in tech is plotting a future without OpenAI, from Microsoft down to everyone who just dropped $10k on a 512GB vram mac studio.

AI is simply too useful and too important to be tied to some SaaS.
The kind of hierarchies we deem necessary are certainly different.

In most of Europe (spoiler: overgeneralization incoming) nobody would have an issue with a child walking alone through a city, going into a bar and ordering a coke. Nobody is going to stop them from taking public transit to a book store, and nothing is legally or physically preventing them from looking at a couple pages in the latest playboy issue in the magazine rack. Though the clerk might interfere out of his own judgement, and depending on the country they might check your age before selling it. You will however be asked for ID before being allowed in a strip club, brothel or casino, or before being sold a DVD of some action movie.
The way LastPass had handled the incident back in 2022 is so disappointing. I don’t even how anyone could even recommend using them again.
My major point still stands.

1. It's useless noise for something like help(math.sin).

2. It's everywhere and not well documented. Ironical for a help system!

Damn it's been hard to improve Python's help system. Python2 didn't have an entry for re.MatchObject. When I mentioned this on irc #python the response was to just google it. Talk about not getting the point. help() should help.
A lot of the value of Chrome is in the expertise of it's developers - so whoever buys it better get those devs or they're not going to get far.

Might not be necessary, though. A quick transfusion of cash to our sitting President will bring that action to a screeching halt.

Did you generate the 48khz ones from the 96/128khz ones via downsampling or are they different recordings?

Are they the exact same volume? We perceive things slightly louder as higher quality.

Is it a double blind test, ie an ABX test?

Are the bit depths the same? Many 96khz sampled files use 24 bits per sample, whereas 48khz usually uses 16 bits per sample.
They can pry my offline key file from my cold dead hard drive. Some things shouldn't be on the internet.
I didn't do anything, you degrade and expose yourself.

Meanwhile unlike the grievance in your head actual innocent Ukrainians died today and you revel in it. Russian used cluster bombs on civilians by the way. And Ukraine couldn't prepare because the US denied them access to intel on what areas strikes would hit. But keep whining about 'internet grievances' and how much pleasure you take at the current outcome because the internet was mean.

Those you call 'warmonger' never took the joy that you now claim to have.
Developer sabotaged ex-employer with kill switch that activated when fired
Yes, however there’s circumstances for when it’s most effective. For example:

Large systems benefit from clear architectural patterns, whereas small systems see little benefit

Performant code is often obscure and messy, it shouldn’t be forced into a “clean pattern” for the sake of it

Clean architecture greatly affects how changes are made in the system. If 20 places need to be updated to add a feature, and that’s something that needs to be done often, then maybe refactoring it would improve this workflow.

At the end of the day it’s a tradeoff that programmers need to make

High corporate profit taxes lead to lots of innovation because what else are you gonna do with all that money? Give it to the govt? No no, better pay a bunch of super smart people to just do stuff, maybe they’ll find something.

They'll just make something up that supports the desired conclusions.
They really aren't but that's a common misconception.
I agree, Rust seems a lot better for inline assembly. For C and C++, there's too much variability between compilers for what you can actually use with inline assembly. Right now, I'm desperately waiting for #[naked] to be stable[1][2]. It's not always necessary, but it's incredibly useful for a lot of low level fuckery. Until it's there, there aren't many good alternatives; you could have a custom build script that calls out to an external assembler, I suppose.

I think that the article is useful because it corrects a number of things commonly said about Bell Labs that just weren't correct. They didn't just hire a bunch of geniuses and let them do whatever they wanted.
And still is disappointing:

> Reached for comment, LastPass said it has seen no definitive proof — from federal investigators or others — that the cyberheists in question were linked to the LastPass breaches. “Since we initially disclosed this incident back in 2022, LastPass has worked in close cooperation with multiple representatives from law enforcement,” LastPass said in a written statement. “To date, our law enforcement partners have not made us aware of any conclusive evidence that connects any crypto thefts to our incident. In the meantime, we have been investing heavily in enhancing our security measures and will continue to do so.”

So, there's slightly less than conclusive evidence, and how much evidence should you need anyway, given the alternative hypotheses?

R's data.table is still my favorite data frames API, over pandas, polars, and spark dataframes. Plotly has edged out ggplot2, but that took a long time.

IMO R is really slept on because it's limited to certain corners of academia, and that makes it seem scary and outdated to compsci folks. It's really a lovely language for data analysis.
not a native English speaker (or English native speaker

As a non-native speaker who was never taught it, for some reason I pick the difference naturally. English native speaker sounds like as e.g. opposed to American or maybe Irish to me, and it actually adds vagueness to what language we’re talking about. Cause there are English native speakers of French.

While native English speaker sounds like exactly native speakers of English regardless of origin.

I think it’s a feature of languages in general, and there’s not as much of an official ordering, but rather an ordering that performs default binding of meanings. In hard cases you fallback to prepositions, in light cases you just employ order.

The flat earth documentary on Netflix was an interesting watch. The flat earthers concluded that they needed to do a different experiment when the results supported the conclusion that the earth is round.

Most of the people in the flat earth community were there for the sense of community and interaction with other people. That says a lot about why people hold on to illogical beliefs so strongly. Because society today has removed a lot of the regular social contact that existed in decades past, people are looking elsewhere to fulfill that need. I'm not a theist, but the fact that nearly everyone in our community used to go to church every weekend back in the 1980s filled a need that people have for socialization. Today my dad thinks it's lucky if they have even 8 or 9 people at the same church.
