The nuance that most people miss is that prior to about the 1960s, books were effectively uncopyable on anything resembling scale. The only options would be to either copy it out in long hand in pen, or on a more industrial level to create new printing plates from scratch, resetting the entire thing character by character. You also wouldn't easily be able to replicate things like photographs or drawings.

It was only with the advent of toner based xerox in the 70s that photocopying books became vaguely practical, but still cost about 5 cents a page, at a time when a mass market paperback might cost $1.25.

Your point is a bit undermined by the fact that two out of your three examples are cannabis extracts, where cannabis proper - literally a leaf - is still very much illegal and has to be "laundered" through chemical processes to make it less fun and therefore "medicine" instead of "recreational drugs".

As long as it needs active driver supervision, it’s not “completely autonomous”.

Even Tesla doesn’t think so, which is why they have this disclaimer on their product page:

> Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) are intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any moment. While these features are designed to become more capable over time, the currently enabled features do not make the vehicle autonomous.
Hi alehander42

I've been searching for something like this, so my question is

I have almost identical program in version 1 and 1.01 and I need to find how their behaviour changed

So, I run both of them ./binary1.exe input.txt ./binary2 input.txt and record their execution with your tool

And now, I'd want to extract such data from your tool:

Visited functions and how locals were changing. e.g

int test(int n) {

n++;

std::cout << n << std::endl

n += 15;

if (n > 22)
{
n--;
}
return n + 1;

}

int main(int argc, char* argv) {

auto result = test(argv[1]);

std::cout << result << std::endl

}

Visited Function: main with arguments (argc: 2, argv ["path", 7])

Visited Function test with arguments (n: 7)

test: N set to 8

test: N set to 23

test: Entered If (n > 22):

N set to 22

Exit If (n > 22)

test: N set to 23

Exit function test

Main: result set to 23

Exit function main

Can I achieve it with your tool / recording data format?
On average… but think about the long tail…
You can somewhat reliably evaluate what works and what does not, what brings you forward and what is slack you can cut. It takes time (6-12 months at least) of very engaged work of a very engaged team - which you can bring with you.

You can go the hatchet way - I am strongly unconvinced it is indicative of anything resembling good management, mind - but most people and companies cannot rely on banks or investment firms loaning them 40 billion dollars and accepting passively a mark down of their mone~ to 1/4 of the value they loaned down the line. CEOs are ousted by investment firms for a far smaller drop in value all the time.

The Apollo program had a wartime budget and a wartime risk tolerance.

The US and Russia were at war, though they did not directly engage with each other due to the threat of mutual nuclear destruction. Along with various proxy wars, technological dominance in space was a key factor in this war. If one side gained enough advantage, they could potentially leverage it into using it to win a direct war. Another factor is that Kennedy's assassination protected the program from political pressure within the US.

Since then, other factors have turned the attention of the space program: The USSR fell apart and didn't pose much of a threat, reducing the budget to a fraction of the size. The Space Shuttle was designed to be the next big thing in space, as a reusable launch vehicle; it could only do low earth orbit and fell short of its goals. Focus shifted to science, and a lot of good science could be performed in low earth orbit; This has lead to, for example, the significant achievement of a continuous human presence in space since the year 2000. Finally, the accepted risk for Apollo was several times what is acceptable today. Even if we had all of the old hardware on the launchpad ready to go for another mission, NASA would never put an astronaut on it.
I honestly forgot how much the word affected me until recently because for about 20 years I almost never heard anyone use it. So apparently it is in fact possible for people to by and large stop using it.
I tried looking for papers on the subject but couldn't find much. There recent research about in-memory B-tree, and there is has been shown that smaller pages (sizes as low as 256/512B) are more performant due to better cache behavior[0]. The general wisdom seems to be that disk-based databases' IO performance is the main bottleneck—but again I couldn't find any concrete data/benchmarks about why those higher sizes were chosen.

South Korea and Japan probably if a CN-JP-SK FTA is dead.

I don't see Germany or Canada getting them as they lack domestically owned and manufactured delivery systems (eg. medium/long range ballistic missiles, domestically manufactured nuclear warhead capable jet fighters).

This is why SK and Japan kept investing in ballistic missile and rocketry research. Pakistan did the same in the 1980s and North Korea in the 1990s.

Nuclear weapons without delivery systems are functionally useless in a world where most nuclear powers have second strike and nuclear triad capabilities, so the deterrence aspect of nuclear weapons are DoA.
I wasn't necessarily intending to disagree, I just picked up on your usage of the word "inflammation," and figured I'd share my experience as chronically inflamed.

Superintelligence startup Reflection AI launches with $130M in funding
The problem with the internet is that it is flat. Society has hierarchies, has always had hierarchies, and the architecture (in the broadest sense) of "RL" societies reflected that.

Internet came out of military and academia and had a flat namespace. No consideraton whatsoever was given to the idea of a 'social model' for it. This was discussed way back in late '90s in a yahoo group that has since disappeared: social models for communication networks.

Really good article. There is a whole cast of philosophical characters that have been supported because they provide a non-materialist subversive, yet directionless, politics that go no-where, great for capitalism. Some of them were even directly supported by the CIA. This is in part why politics is so empty today, the post-modernists won and call you names for wanting peace, real life choices, control over your work life, health care, etc while also not actually advancing the cause of equality among the different divisions of the working class beyond spoken words.
Yeah, but most of those cool things go away when you leave boot services mode, and I think boot services also limits you to single core?

My hobby OS doesn't have that much assembly. My one asm file [1] is 888 lines, but there's a lot of lazy repetion for my interrupt and error handlers, so I can get the interrupt/error number as a parameter in the C function. If I was lazier and had interrupts go directly to c functions, there wouldn't be that much left in assembly: setting up the stack and stuff for C which isn't that much code, really, task switching bits that were too weird to write in C, stack setup for new threads, trampolines for starting the non-boot processors.

There's some inline assembly in the kernel too, but I don't think you'd be able to get rid of that.

I've seen recent interesting papers on reasoning models with costs from US$6 to US$4,5000. The problem is that you need a bunch of fast RAM for efficient training. But you can do some limited fine-tuning (Q-LoRA, etc) of models up to 14G on a 24 GB graphics card, and full fine-tunes of 1.5G models.

It's very affordable for a small university research group. And not totally out of reach for hobbyists.

Wouldn't it be the US, on their side of the border, who is looking for what is coming into their country, not Canada looking at what is leaving their country? They seem to have a pretty good handle on how much is entering through the southern border.

Popularity covers the demand side. For the supply, it's perfectly scarce.

The pandas mypy stubs attempt to address this to some extent, but to be honest.. It's really painful. Not helped by pandas' hodgepodge API design to be fair, but i think even a perfect API would still be annoying to statically type. Imagine needing to annotate every function that takes a data frame with 20 columns...

A tantalising idea i have not explored, is to try and hook up polars' lazy query planner to a static typing plugin. The planner already has basically complete knowledge of the schema at every point, right?

So in theory this could be used to give the really good inference abilities that a static typing system needs to be nice to use.
I recently took a Waymo back to my hotel in Phoenix after a few drinks and it was a really pleasant experience. It didn’t take the freeways but it navigated the surface streets pretty much perfectly. It helped that it was about 25% the cost of an Uber at that time.
Google has the weakest "monopoly" on search possible. Bing and Duckduckgo emulate Google's search almost exactly. It's very easy to switch, far easier than Windows to $OTHER_OS ever was. Google does I believe pay Apple to make it the default search page, but it's pretty easy to change.

If Microsoft didn't have a monopoly in 1999, Google most certainly doesn't have one in 2025. This is a shakedown of Google.

No. I used to, but I've changed my mind recently.

Firefox is driven by Mozilla, which has long since lost the plot and shows no sign of regaining it. If Firefox were forkable we'd have seen one by now, but even Brendan Eich himself chose Chrome as the base for his browser.

I would love to be proven wrong, but my prediction for ten years out is that Mozilla will finally have gone under and Firefox won't be maintainable any more.

(Writing this from Firefox. I'll hold out as long as it's possible to hold out.)
I had a similar experience writing image decompressors. There wasn't enough to internally manage for rust to provide any benefit, and the gritty fast algorithmic code is just simpler to do with C++. C wasn't going to get me the flexibility and generic patterns I was going for.

My first inclination is to agree with the idea that all humans have a right to flourish because I would like everyone to have self-determined and self-acquired means to actualization.

However, what’s the upper bound on demands made for flourishing if that aspect is codified as a right? I think a more tractable and practical approach in policymaking for determining a set of rights is to codify a set of “disablers” as opposed to a set of enablers.

The universality of such rights notwithstanding, I find it highly inappropriate that the government should be involved in enabling human flourishing outside of ensuring basic human rights. I find this inappropriate because I think actualization of the self is a highly private and individualized matter, whereas the domain of the government is to implement broad and pan-applicable policies. The caveat is that as society gets more complex, so do the basic human rights which need to be ensured to enable productive participation in that society. Everyone needs internet access to participate in a digital economy, for instance.

While I appreciate the thoughtfulness towards an approach to emotional moral philosophy, I think that an emphasis on using emotions as a guide for navigating morals and ethics precludes the judgment needed for seeking a moral truth which may counter an emotional truth. I guess I am unconvinced that there is any necessity at all in imposing emotional guides on morals and ethics, but I do like the list of the ten points that are mentioned—it’s easy enough to imagine how each of those can be stretched to some absurd scenario where governments say-so in those scenarios becomes Orwellian.
This is a novel way to think about it that hadn’t occurred to me. Thanks!

I've played around a bit with ibis for some internal analytics stuff, and honestly it's pretty nice to have one unified api for duckdb, postgres, etc. saves you from a ton of headaches switching context between different query languages and syntax quirks. but like you said, performance totally depends on the underlying backend, and sometimes that's a mixed bag—duckdb flies, but certain others can get sluggish with more complex joins and aggregations.

polars cloud might have an advantage here since they're optimizing directly around polars' own rust-based engine. i've done a fair bit of work lately using polars locally (huge fan of the lazy api), and if they can translate that speed and ergonomics smoothly into the cloud, it could be a real winner. the downside is obviously potential lock-in, but if it makes my day-to-day data wrangling faster, it might be worth the tradeoff.

curious to see benchmarks soon against dask, ray, and spark for some heavy analytics workloads.

The most coherent explanation I've seen is that the only power the executive has to directly impose tariffs are from some "national security" law (intended for stuff like sanctions against war criminals), so even though he wants trade concessions, legally he has to dress it up as a national security issue.

That said, he doesn't seem to care about any other limits on the executive, and I don't even know how this strategy was meant to get the desired results (is he telling the other leaders his real requirements behind closed doors?)

I'd expect the next generation of terminals to do this out of the box when using SSH.

I never want to run the server's vi[m]/emacs/nano if I already have my own local one completely set up. I don't want to run the remote's bash - I have mine already customized! I want to open a new tab in my terminal - and have it connected to the remote, as if I opened a new tab on the server's terminal.

It's the remote's files and process tree and resources what I want to interact with - but I'd rather leverage my local settings as much as possible.

Your counterpoint doesn’t make sense because the government establishes laws. A trial is an application of the laws of that government. The quality of a trial being “fair” is just a marketable quality of that government.

Healthcare, on the other hand, is not necessarily the government’s domain because people have the freedom to live unhealthily if they want. There is no law which says you must keep yourself healthy. How do you even measure that for different people? For what it’s worth, I think people should get universal healthcare because populations getting sick impacts productivity.
