> Imagine at the end of the American Civil War, a confederate army retreated to an island like Cuba or Hawaii, they took it over and have been calling themselves the real America ever since.

It is a great analogy. However, in this case, that small island was taken by China even before the American Civil War. To put it into perspective, it was during the time when Isaac Newton was working on gravity.

And one episode of Open To Debate [1] argued Taiwan is the worst possible place to confront China:

> I used to give battlefield tours at Gettysburg, an extraordinary place. ... a certain cavalry General John Buford ... surveyed the ground and he knew right away he looked at the hills and said, this is good ground, ... The geography favors us. Well, I want to tell you folks, he saved our country that with that appreciation. But this is the opposite. This is bad ground. This is the worst possible place to confront China

The EU and Canada, UK, Australia, Mexico/etc need some new Trade Pact to counter What Trump is doing and to reduce their dependency on the US as a trading partner longer term! The Social democracies around the world are Trump's/Crony Capitalists' target because the Social democracies provide for the health care for their citizens instead of those countries letting the Crony Capitalists bleed the citizens of those Social Democracies dry! The Social Democracies provide for other progressive social Safety Net programs and education benefits that benefit the Social Democratic societies as a whole and not just the 10% most wealthy!

Trump and the Republican Party wants to get rid of the Entire New Deal legislation and return the US back to a regulatory structure that existed in the Pre Sherman Antitrust Act(1890) days in America when the Robber Baron controlled Crony Capitalistic Trusts had free reign and the US Economy was effectively cornered by the Robber Baron Trusts and hardly free market at all!

The Social Democracies need look at the US as not sharing the same values as the Social Democracies in the world and those Social Democracies should have been taking measures since 1980 to reduce any dependency on the US economically!

The US Should be Actively Labeled a Crony Capitalist Country and one that is Oligarch Dominated and not really a Free Market Capitalistic country!

And Trump/Crony Capitalists are actively trying to destabilize the Canadian economy as well as the economies of Mexico and South America!
I see value in avoiding it. Avoiding junk is commonsense no?
Absolutely. Money (at least some amount, at least for most people) is necessary, but not sufficient for a fulfilled life.
What can we do with 3B LLM models, I haven't tried in a couple of months but when I did the results weren't great.
I disagree - I think there are fundamental tradeoffs between declarative and imperative ways of configuration so they'll never "converge" completely.

I am a huge fan of each camp stealing ideas from the other and thus "converging" closer.

I also like the two-step "write imperative code to generate declarative config" approach some systems take - Terraform/Pilumi do this. At the cost of having two steps, you get to write your for loops AND get a declarative "state" you can diff easily with the previous state.
I do not understand why to force wait when model want to output </think>.

why not just decrease </think> probability? if model really wants to finish maybe or could over power it in cases were it's really simple question. and definitely would allow model to express next thought more freely

Sigh.
If anything, this is just putting the huge disconnect between the ideals and the realities of higher education on display.

I studied CS because I love computers and programming and I wanted an SWE job. The idea was to earn a living doing something I enjoy / am good at, and I needed a degree for that. I didn't mind "learning how to learn", getting to know topics I probably wouldn't have chosen to learn on my own, meeting people pursuing the same goals and so on. That was nice, especially the idea of it, but it wasn't really my goal.

The reality was that during that time my primary worries were getting to lectures on time and passing exams while barely having enough money to afford anything beyond food and shelter. It wasn't me and my teachers engaging in the noble pursuit of science. I was worrying about exams while they were probably worrying about grading while taking a break from worrying about funding and authoring enough papers.

Thanks to some fluke I had a few weeks with almost nothing to do during one semester, so I decided to try and write a 3D engine. That was actually me learning just for the sake of learning: not thanks to the education system, but despite of it.

If AI brings this entire illusion down, maybe that's a good thing.

>I went through an E-ZPass controlled interstate once as a passenger

I think you're overestimating how precise scammers' targeting are. They're playing a numbers game, so they're going to spam every who might have used ezpass, not carefully curate their spam list by buying real time location data from data brokers. I received phishing texts for banks that I don't have accounts for, so next time I get a phishing text for a bank that I do use, I'm not going to think my bank got breached.
I'm in the same boat.

I realized that frustration from work usually spills over to other parts of my life, not surprising as work is usually the first big thing we do during a day. I'm exactly like you -- when I have a lot of frustration from work, then I wouldn't want to work on side projects. It has nothing to do with how many hours I have.

I also have some bad sleep patterns as I only sleep about 5-6 hours every night most of the time.

I think, it might be useful to learn some mental skills to compartment one's mental state. If I could somehow put that frustration from work into a separate space without it spilling all over the ship, it would definitely help a lot. But so far I don't know how to do it -- plus I have a kid so I can't chill down after work until late night.
"Up to 23x faster performance"^4

4: Testing conducted by Apple in January 2025 using preproduction 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air systems with Apple M4, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 32GB of RAM, as well as production 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based MacBook Air systems with Intel Iris Plus Graphics and 16GB of RAM, all configured with 2TB SSD. Tested using Super Resolution with Pixelmator Pro 3.6.14 and a 4.4MB image. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Air.

What a garbage piece of marketing, I can't believe they posted this on their official website. I used to like Apple, but virtually everything they've done over the past few years has made me despise them more and more. Excited to ditch my iPhone.
It's the declared value of the box, which at this point could reasonably be the production cost of the box, disc and manual.

Ah my bad. Yes I was aware of the WCAG, but I also read some criticisms regarding them. I guess it’s still a good starting point then, thanks!
A great many people who would be generally accepted as Successfully Schooled in the art of making Right Choices, when left truly on their own - and not out in the woods somewhere, but out here, in the very bowels of this right here civilization - would also rather quickly encounter misery and death.

Do you believe that what I noncoincidentally capitalize as "Right Choices" are actual right choices in some absolute, or at least universally shared, or at least non-self-contradictory frame of reference? I see them more like unilaterally mandated moves in some arbitrary social game that we all have, voluntarily or not, been recruited into (and which persists not in spite of, but because it is fundamentally nonsensical).

Of course, my viewpoint is incorrigibly biased by having witnessed manifestations of empathy significantly more often among the "dregs of society" than in what one would call "polite company".

Anyway, empathy is only the first step. Effecting systemic change takes significantly more right thought and right action than is generally permitted. And those aren't really things one can delegate. (I've found the lack of those things among the "down and out" vs. the "better off" to be about equal, the comparison I was making was along another axis.)

In other words, if the social safety net that you have experienced leads to the outcomes you describe, that means it's a bad implementation of a social safety net - not that we shouldn't have an actual one. Outside of Kafka, people don't just randomly wake up one day to find out they've somehow transformed into helpless monsters. It's a gradual process, and there are people at every step of the way, who are making the choice to allow others to slide into poverty and insanity, for the sake of not disrupting some comfort zone which may not even be particularly comfortable.
Why the attitude? The prideful educators in their ivory towers, unlike Sam Altman or the folks at google and microsoft, humble downtrodden men of the earth making billions off the AI.

I hear this a lot. I've got quite a leaky 400+ year old Welsh farmhouse (long and thin, heat-sucking 4ft deep stone walls) and I'm one of those who installed last year with the grant.

It's bloody brilliant. Way, way more comfortable than the oil-fired system it replaced. The smart meter looked a bit scary during the cold patch in January but even then, it's coming in cheaper than the oil did and without the scary price variability.

I honestly love it. Getting the size of heat pump right for the property is probably the most critical thing.
Fair point. IOW, what you're saying is: If learning math is your goal, is this the best (or most cost effective) way to do it? Sure, for some it would be, but for others they'd be better off with books or some other alternative.

Discord seems to be going the way of Skype: deprecating their support for Windows 7, in favor of a newer OS offering from Microsoft which harvests data in the background under the feeble guise of telemetry. Granted there is telelmetry in Windows 7, but you can disable it in Windows 7 and not worry obout it being over-ridden the next day, or even the same day, with some forced update.
Echoing the sentiments of others here, this is why I firmly believe that public college should be free, for all, for life. Formal education just works better for some of us than video tutorials or self-paced learning, and ensuring everyone is able to learn new things and practice their skills in a consequence-free environment benefits society as a whole.

Think about the tech nerds (me) who never learned how to cook, and are in their thirties. Or lawyers and Doctors who are sick and tired of feeling like they don’t understand how computers work, and want to learn. Or an accountant who loves maths, and wants to get into the scientific side of the field. Or the homemaker who wants to re-enter the workforce now that their kids are grown, and wants to pick up carpentry and welding to become a tradesperson.

If cognitive decline comes from failing to practice it regularly, then the cheapest solution is free education for life to encourage as many people as possible to keep learning new skills and remain cognitively engaged.
Thank you!

The Python initial prototype is not yet finished. It's easy to play with, so anyone interested can actually work on it!
Currently, in the experimental tracers, Ruby is usable for smaller programs, so one can try Ruby immediately.

I do plan on improving some of the prototypes, and on adding additional ones: for Lua, but JavaScript: e.g. v8 is also a good target.
Scripting language users that find it useful, are welcome to discuss/chat with us, or even directly contribute or propose support for new languages.

A form of record filtering is planned indeed.

We have experimented with automatic chart visualizations of some things, we've planned custom visual representation as well, great to see interest in those

docker swarm is so simple and easy compared to the utter behemoth that is k8s, and basically is all you need for CRUD webapps 80-90% of the time. add an RDS instance and you’re set.

i will always pick swarm in a small company* whenever possible until k8s or ECS makes sense because something has changed and it’s needed.

dont start with complexity.

They use your messages for AI training, even if you disable the AI summaries "feature". I kept seeing events related to AI summaries on a custom client, even with them turned off in the only server I was in.

They'll hold your account hostage until you give them a phone number if you happen to trigger their "anti-spam" detection. And sending a message with a number below 13 might be all it takes for Discord to withhold your account for age verification as well.

They basically track every click, every action you take on their client. You can see that if you request a data package.

Abuse is rampant. There's no way to report servers, channels, or individual users. Things that were all possible in the past, through the Support form, until they made in-app reporting the only option, which relies on reporting individual messages and has a very low rate limit.

> What more could you ask for? Or, are you asking for too much?

Let's see...blocking that actually prevents you from seeing messages from the person you blocked. A native client. Better reporting tools. Better message deletion tools - you still can't delete every message along with your account. The ability to opt out of having messages fed into AI. None of these are unfeasible.

> What I mean is: What innovative functionality is missing to such a degree, that if it was introduces, would make people abandon Discord?

The network effect is the reason why technologically inferior solutions like Discord are still thriving.
> 20 years later, you realize you burned two precious decades accumulating money that, honestly, does not help you at all make sense or use of the next two.

Ah, but it does. Speaking as someone approaching fifty, you feel every penny. Everything about your financial situation weighs into your decision-making, makes different options possible or impossible. It changes which jobs you can take, and which jobs you can turn down. It affects how much time you can take between jobs. It affects how much energy you pour into keeping your job or chasing a promotion versus investing your energy in education or other things you find satisfying.

People worry that they will accidentally pursue money with such single-minded focus that they turn off every other part of their soul, and miss out on what they "really" want to do. But I don't think that's possible. Replace money with anything else: fame, family, intellectual achievement, hedonism. If you try to dedicate yourself 100% to one thing when something else is important to you, you'll hear the voice in the back of your head. You'll feel what it is, and if you ignore it then, that's on you.

If you don't hear that voice yet, lay down the foundation that will give you the freedom to follow it when you finally do.
Maybe I'm just not a Real Artist, but I don't understand this focus on "engagement" and "visibility" for casual writers and other online publishers. Assuming they are not doing it for revenue, where their income depends on huge readership, why are they so concerned with how many readers they are getting? When I share some source code on GitHub, I don't care in the slightest whether anybody or nobody uses it. It doesn't really affect me. Same for comments on HN. I get no benefit if 10,000 people read a comment vs. 100.

Whenever you talk about blogging vs. more popular platforms, someone always chimes in with this "but I get so many more eyeballs on Twitter!" and I legitimately don't understand why that matters.

Sure, if you are doing it for a living and your income scales with the number of readers, then yea, of course, it's obvious why you want "engagement."

I am a full stack software developer with six years of experience delivering major features for ML applications in the ITSM industry. As part of a small engineering team at my last role, I was expected to exercise full ownership of the various features I was working on, from design all the way to implementation and maintenance. In addition, I was also recruited to be a member of the company's ML research team, where I gained the ability to quickly adopt and learn new tech, frameworks, and libraries in order to stay on the cutting-edge of AI technology. I have worked on everything from brand new greenfield projects to decade old legacy software and have made it a personal philosophy to never leave a codebase worse than I found it.

I am looking for either a general full-stack or ML-focused developer role.
I think the main point is that if amino-acids in the sample were left-handed they might have come from Earthly contamination of the sample.

Since they are a mixture of right and left-handed they definitely come from space.

I wonder what Socrates would say if your thinking process depends on GPUs owned by oligarchs and all your attempts at solving a problem are tracked.

New Data on Why Mars Is Red Supports Potentially Habitable Past
I had a similar experience where math went from being easy and fun to an intimidating and painful slog. My problem was just how focused most courses are on learning techniques for solving problems. I found all those endless substitutions that you learn in calculus to be infinitely dull and so it was difficult to do a good job. Ditto for the solution techniques for differential equations. Don’t get me started on matrix inverting. I think I had to do a 5x5 matrix once for a homework assignment. What a colossal waste of time.

Proof-based math classes came like a revelation to me. When I took Real Analysis, for the first time in over a decade, math was fun. You weren’t just memorizing and reapplying recipes. You were seriously thinking about unique problems and devising solutions. And all the while, you were learning where all these techniques actually came from and how everything connected together.

I don’t understand why we can’t have more proof heavy math in high school. Who cares whether you remember the arctan substitution or whatever in an integral; I’d always just use a solver for that anyway. I’d rather be learning about what an integral is in the first place.

Feedback & more importantly criticism is vital for such project.

Disclosure : I have no banking & legal experience than some of what I learnt in 9th and 10th class and this is just a proposal to see how practical it is. Please don't discount it because of this fact and atleast still read it and please give me constructive criticism !
