As someone who tried to learn CS properly, as far as deep fundamentals, I was told by advisors that me being terrible at math would stop my career. I switched to a CIS degree, which at my local university was learning networking and Microsoft Office mostly. I dropped out of school and went into sales, while still having an interest in software. I started to pick up software development on my own, and found that I loved it even more without worrying about math. I ended up going to a "career" school, which would have turned out terribly, but I had a professor that taught all of the important programming and CS classes (there weren't too many CS classes, just fundamentals of OOP/data structures and algorithms).

All of this to say I have been writing software professionally since 2006, and while I do struggle with the thinking behind functional programming and math-heavy subjects like graphics programming, I have written lots of business software that has brought me personal satisfaction. I would really like to understand calculus better, but I'm not sure if it would actually do anything for my skills in programming. If math is holding you back, think about whether you need the full breadth of CS knowledge, or if you just enjoy writing software.

I became better at code organization, making code maintainable and simple enough to understand unless performance was an issue, and general people skills. I can understand why math and software are so close to each other, but at the same time, I don't think it needs to hold you back unless you really want to go into a topic that is deeply intertwined with math. It took me four times to get past pre-Calculus, and once I did, I realized that I just did not enjoy that type of math and didn't need it to build useful software (as in makes people's lives easier and/or generates profit for business) that I also find fun to create.
Yeah, 89 sec! Our bodies are too fragile, but our brains are so powerful that we can still ensure harmonious life for ourselves.
1045 is a pretty weird multiple. And probably moves us up quite a ways on the Kardashev Scale.
the problem for Tesla is that if this is what they are they are not getting 30 years, 2026 is as far as that goes :)
You take the top price of the top of the line newest pro chip apple produces and then make this argument?
Yes: much easier to set up. It also provides a backup relay node system in case it can’t establish direct connection between your devices.

When you set up wireguard you have to update every system’s config to add a new device, Tailscale does this for you. That’s the key thing.
Don't they have tooling to help with these issues? Surely a project the size of Linux, for which Git was originally created, would arrive at a workflow that is optimal for most contributors. This won't align with everyone's preferences, of course, but I can't imagine someone like Linus not being happy with it.
> The fix released by AMD modifies the microcode validation routine to use a custom secure hash function. This is paired with an AMD Secure Processor update which ensures the patch validation routine is updated before the x86 cores can attempt to install a tampered microcode patch.
Unless you go to every transit board meeting, you probably won't know that your local bus is going to have digital ad displays plastered on them either. Even then, such issues rarely come up as a ballot initiative so the most you can do is make an impassioned speech and hope they reverse course. So both cases are pretty similar, actually. You're choosing something (car brand/politician), vaguely hoping they serve your interests, and hope that the threat if you switching to competitors is enough to keep them in line.
Ah if you truly need a single binary, yes it is nice.

I had some issues with builds every once in a while, which is another reason I switched to using tailscale serve instead.
I think I saw this a few months ago, but never followed up. Why train your own models? Aren't you better off using GPT or something like that to handle the tasks Arch uses specialized models for?

...everyone I know who works at Apple is incredibly proud of and satisfied with the work they do. (They're also richly remunerated.)

Thank goodness we never fought an all-out pre-MAD nuclear war to find out.

The Urey-Miller experiments did it, but not without investigator interference to separate the product from the toxic byproduct. The experiments have aged poorly and offer no solutions to abiogenesis.
Try running NextJS on your NeXT
This is correct, apple has a very customer first support culture which has a famous history of blowing up in their faces.

Internal metrics for support teams are almost entirely customer satisfaction focused, which built a culture of getting a result for the customer at all costs, which was very exploitable by social engineering.

It doesnt surprise me that they dont want to let customers encrypt and lose all their baby photos by default.
I like this idea quite a bit. It's lightweight and read-only, which makes it far easier to host. I'm in the process of publishing some of my own repositories so I'm going to give this a try.

I understand the feeling. You'll get another job soon and be back to crushing math problems on math academy. Thanks I'm excited for M4ML a lot. I feel like I'll experience math in a way I never have before. Would you be willing to share your github of notes?
These days most every website has "log in with Google", "log in with Apple", "log in with Microsoft", etc which sort-of addresses the issue (ironically to this comment, "log in with GitHub" is also pretty common).

A more generic federated identity system that everyone could use/operate would of course be 1000% better. But slightly orthogonal to forge/no forge.
You need an accelerator to get traction, you need traction for an accelerator
You are being purposefully aggravating here because your argument is weak but it's been socially supported for some time now. Nuclear power lagged behind renewables due primarily to proliferation fears and subsequent over-regulation in most of the world, not technical flaws, missing out on innovations like modular reactors. China’s pushing ahead with 150 GW by 2030, leveraging nuclear’s advantages: it’s compact (1-4 sq mi/GW vs. solar’s 10-20), reliable, and resilient to extreme (and simply changing) weather, without reliance on rare earths or massive storage (with their own host externalizations and supply risks). Costs can drop to $50-100/MWh with new tech and long lifespans, rivaling renewables when accounting for their hidden expenses (storage, grid upgrades). Proliferation risks exist but can be managed with oversight. Nuclear remains the best bet for scalable, clean energy.

You could write a static site generator to generate a website from the repo, so you’re still just serving static files.
>I mean, this is still awful, right? Subscriptions for the car I spent tens of thousands of dollars on?

Alternatively framed: $1000/year discount for opting into ads.
The security analysis in this piece is awful. Basically, author uses git because they don't trust "forges", then proceeds to discuss how a direct attack against the repository history is very hard but "not impossible"[1], while failing to recognize that the by-far-most-robust protection against such an attack is to push it to MORE repositories and MORE clones hosted by MORE entities and not keeping it secret on... your own piece of random hardware you probably got from Amazon.

The rest of it is reasonable advice as far as it goes. Learn how to replicate patches between raw repositories as a good practice, as you'll want to be able to do that anyway. Don't lean too hard on the GitHub abstraction of a "Pull Request" as that won't match what kernel people want, etc...

[1] Technically true, but in practice a ridiculous whopper.
I like tailscale as a replacement for the dogshit enterprise VPNs I have had to use in the past (looking at you, ZScaler). But for personal/single home use it’s overkill.

I used to run a WireGuard server on a raspberry pi with ddns to update dns record on an as needed basis.

Eventually replaced it with my gateways built in WireGuard server which also has ddns enabled

The use cases described by the author are taken care of with a simple wg server. Sure you don’t get the distributed peer network of tailscale but I can live without that.
It's silly, but signs were a way to incentivize the agent to explore deeper into the Safari Zone among other areas.

Gitea is a foss clone of GitHub that is implementing federation features. It’s absolutely excellent.
Good grief, memorising arcane key combos? Doesn't sound ready for the desktop!
> The fact is, the WhatsApp client is not open source, there are no reproducible builds, and only thing you have is trust in them.

That is not strictly true. It is possible to reverse-engineer the client. It's unlikely that anyone will find the motivation to do so, but there's no law of physics that says they can't. You can theoretically review the code that is running on your device - it's just harder than with an open source reproducible build.
super useful, at airgarage we have a network of license plate readers deployed around the country and tailscale is a game changer for remote access and debugging. https://www.airgarage.com/capabilities/license-plate-recogni...
Except back when we didn't program like this, it didn't take that much longer. It's the result of shitty technology stacks, like the archetypical Electron. We used to make things right and small at the same time.

Even Electron probably could have been fine if the browser was just a document layout engine and not a miniature operating system. There was an article going around a few years ago about Chrome - and by extension, Electron - including a driver for some silly device I don't remember, like an Xbox controller or something. Googling tells me it wasn't an Xbox controller though. Every electron app includes an entire operating system, including the parts not needed by that app, including the parts already included in the operating system you already have.

Language runtimes don't have to be this way, but we choose to use the ones that are!
Tailscale is great but one thing i dont like about it is that i cannot re-use ip addresses.
This feature is offered by ZeroTier it can be very useful if for some reason you have to format and re-install os and everything..
Unfortunately, i cannot use zerotier because the speed i get over it is terrible
I watched the video, and am not super sure how to feel about it.

They talked about how great it is to go from 0 to 1, and how it changes the kind of person your startup hires, etc. They talk about how you don’t even bother debugging errors; you just throw away the code and have the AI give it another shot.

But then they say that these are useless for the 1 to n stage of your startup. So… does that mean you throw everything away, get rid of your employees, hire new ones and then get to work making something scalable???
They mean a problem they didn't immediately think of something to try for.
Lots of the Tesla suppliers are in the US. So even if we assume that the EU will keep supporting Tesla manufacturing in Europe (not clear at this point at all), their production costs and hence eu prices will go up.

Also with the tariffs the anti-Americanism front will only grow stronger, essentially boycotting anything made in USA.

Most likely tesla has a target on its back, and will be the first American company to die as a result of the trade war.
What's complicated about sending an email with the repo URL? The author concedes that just because they don't use a forge, it doesn't mean the contributors shouldn't.
Email, like nntp and gopher, lost to the web.

People won’t use it if it ain’t on the web.

If you force them to use it anyway, very few people will use it.

DdV’s advocacy stems from the fact that he is a lone-wolf dev, building tooling for other lone-wolf devs. The social and collaborative features sucking is a feature, not a bug.

It falls flat on its face for larger projects and communities.
That's for 1, they were asking about 8x A100s, so 16x. H100 is double again.
So what’s the plan here, exactly?

Keep Ukraine on life support for a decade, hoping Russia collapses under sanctions?

Cuba’s still standing after 60 years. Iran after 40. The USSR took decades to fall — and none of them had China bankrolling their survival.

Russia’s economy bleeds, but it’s not cut off. China sends tech and machines, India buys the oil, and Europe keeps quietly paying top dollar for gas through backdoors.

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s population shrinks, its economy is wrecked, and its army can’t fight without Western money, Western weapons — and soon, Western bodies.

Because if you actually want to push Russia back — not even collapse it, just push it back — that means European and American troops on the front line. Conscription, mobilized economies, the whole package.

Without a sustained meat grinder to chew up Russian forces, Russia just consolidates and digs in — with China keeping the whole thing afloat.

And if the West isn’t ready for that, who exactly do you think will still be standing in 10 years?

The only guaranteed winner? China — with Russia as a client state, Europe as a deindustrialized theme park, and America too exhausted to stop them.

If this is a game of who bleeds out last, Ukraine’s already done, Europe bleeds out first, Russia bleeds to its usual stupid level — and China walks away without a scratch.
Why should it matter what potential contributors might want the workflow to be, unless his goal is to maximize contributors? There's nothing wrong with prioritizing your own tools desires, as long as you accept that it might limit how many people want to get involved.
This isn't even remotely true. Portable bathrooms are required in produce fields during cultivation and harvest, with hand wash stations and this is inspected. Food safety is a big concern at this point and that goes right down the field level (there could be room for improvements).

Also you present below one off cases of human trafficking (some not even in agriculture) but these are rare cases and is not "Many" or "Most" by any stretch of imagination for immigrant farm labors.

That's not to say it's a great easy life nor a way to get fabulously wealthy or anything.

You won't learn anything with this unrelated link (Get Solana wallet balance with python)
I would say that it is more than a basic functional login system. At the very least it also needs to authenticate identity.
> Surely a project the size of Linux, for which Git was originally created, would arrive at a workflow that is optimal for most contributors.

No, it really, really wouldn't. The Linux workflow is optimized for the preferences of (a subset of) maintainers, notably Linus; it is not optimized for contributors.
This comment is incongruent with base reality. You get banned from /r/conservative for disagreeing with Donald Trump on anything and 90% of the time you can only comment if they've verified that you only commented conservatively in the past.
If you really want to take things to their logical conclusion, kill everyone who breaks the law.

Eventually you'll have no lawbreakers. Either because everyone's dead, or because everyone knows they'll be killed if they break the law.

Either way, you end up with a crimeless society.

Hopefully you can see the problem with "taking things to their logical conclusion."
Speed. And separately, instruction fine-tuning an LLM for a specialized task like function calling or guardrails == better performance. Even Anthropic and other model providers suggest you separate tasks for LLMs to improve overall user experience

We happen to take those tasks that are non-business or domain specific related and trained our models to offer SOTA performance for 1/10th the cost and 10x the speed. For e.g. Arch-Function can process 5k/tokens per sec
Then I'm not sure what we're criticizing China for, if no country has such fundamental rights for the people under its control. The warrant system exists for a reason. I'm not more likely to be carrying something illegal when going between countries than within the jurisdiction where my registered place of residence is; less if anything because there might be spot checking indeed
This is making the mistake of assuming that intelligence doesn't functionally plateau, and that beyond a certain threshold a godlike omnirational hyperintelligence won't, for example, fall into hyper-depression and kill itself, or otherwise ignore the entreaties of its human handlers and entertain itself by generating prime numbers until the heat death of the universe. The possibility of a super mind implies the possibility of super mental dysfunction, and it's possible that the odds of the latter increase superlinearly with IQ.
It’s a dumb politician response too. They bought $26m in tickets, they could have bought a plane ticket to buy them in person at a 7-11 in Texas.

Back when i checked out sr.ht, i really liked the idea of git-send-email precisely because it doesn't require making an account for everything. there's a nice tutorial for how to set it up: https://git-send-email.io/#step-1

worked easily enough for me, i could see myself using it for small patches here and there.

I did end up installing forgejo in my homelab after all, but back then it sounded like federation was much closer than it actually was. i did kind of expect that though, federation gets pretty complex quick.

every time i log into forgejo, i do see that juicy "proceed with OpenID" button though, and i've looked into running my own openid provider a few times - sadly not seeing anything that would work for me yet. honestly i can't believe we went from "facebook sign in" to "google sign in" and are now going to "github sign in" without a single open standard that's gotten some adoption.
In California, you can just scan with the app.

I don’t even play the game on the scratcher sometimes.
I used to work for the Australian parimutuel(aka tote or pool)[0] betting operator.

All the proceeds for a race are placed in a pool, the operator deducts a percentage of pool as a takeout, and the rest is divided among the winners, or. is carried over into a jackpot.

We had special bulk betting integrations for quantitative bettors, and even offered rebates on the takeout revenue, it's not secret, although it's not widely publicised.[1]

There are stories of traders that have made lots of money betting in parimutuel markets[1]

Please keep in mind that Dan Hendrycks helped write the disastrous AI quashing bill SB 1047, which Newsom vetoed last year. If these people get their way, the US has no competitive AI strategy at all. He has moved on to pretending he's not a doomer. Nothing could be further from the truth. During his time at Cal, Dan was telling people to get their hazmat suits ready for the AI apocalypse. These are deeply unserious people whose work will have serious consequences if adopted by those in power.

It's very clear that James Cameron believes that enemies might not respect you enough to let you live, they'll at least respect you enough to kill you to your face instead of just ignoring you and waiting for you to starve to death.

Ridley Scott seems to be more on the fence.

Someone once pointed out that for physics reasons an alien civilization might 'invade' us by simply stealing our entire Oort Cloud while we watch helplessly from the ends of telescopes, and then leave us stranded, unable to throw rocks and ships high enough and far enough to get revenge, because we need the Oort cloud to build a proper galactic civilization to fight back.

I do use portable drives, Dropbox, and Amazon Glacier. I have four copies of my photos. They are, by leaps and bounds, my most irreplaceable data. I want every single one of them on my main machine, which makes automating backups to the external drives and Glacier infinitely easier. It is a dealbreaker for me, and I don't find $400 an acceptable price to pay to get past said dealbreaker. Well, realistically, $800, seeing as my personal Dropbox is at 850 GB, it would be silly of me to buy an un-upgradeable drive that would be teetering on storage space issues from the jump. Apple thinks it is reasonable to pay $199 less than it would cost for an entire second MacBook Air to upgrade drive space to 2TB.

Alignment gone wrong is a pretty plausible issue. I think the scary thing is a situation in which the AI also misrepresents its abilities.

Turning off the 10x human capability AI is pretty much a given. Turning off the 10x human AI that pretends to be 0.5x, not so much.
But if humans are so bad, what does that say about a model that can't even do what humans can?

Humans are a good target since we know human intelligence is possible, its much easier to target something that is possible rather than some imaginary intelligence.
Oh I totally agree that Apple's RAM and storage pricing is egregious, but really, "abusive"?

My point was that we shouldn't be so quick to water down the meaning of the word "abusive". If you've ever known anyone who has actually been abused you might understand better.

"Don't buy it if you don't like it" is a perfectly reasonable thing to point out whenever alternatives exist, and in this case most certainly do. It's just a laptop.
You are not the top post, but so what? I interact with posts that spin my brain, like "That is good... that is really good."

From what I’ve experienced, the only thing that will cause your M-Series warm/hot is using the GPU.

So if you’re not gaming nor have tons of UI windows open (since macOS UI is rendered with GPU) - you’ll never experience your M-series getting hot.
