How exactly is cutting VA headcount back to 2019 numbers "throwing a wrench into our economic engine"?

This is why we end up with indiscriminate and thoughtless cuts, because the alternative is people who seem to believe that every penny of government spending is absolutely essential the second after the line item is conceived, and the only way to fix any issues that exist is with more spending.

It’s impossible to live without depending on other people’s decisions unless you live completely isolated. It’s not “free” but most people are fine sacrificing some freedom for other gains. This has already been discussed for centuries, see Thomas Hobbes and the social contract.
I love to occasionally just recreationally read over the OpenFirmware source code as fine literature, especially the kernel and metacompiler, since it's just such elegant beautifully polished and refined code, the results of so many decades of meticulous work on so many platforms and devices.

Forth is really a transparent "glass box" where you can see through and understand it all from top to bottom, and OpenFirmware includes a museum of drivers and modules and extensions for everywhere it's ever been and all of its missions, like Superman's Crystal Fortress of Solitude!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_of_Solitude

>The Fortress contained an alien zoo, a giant steel diary in which Superman wrote his memoirs (using either his invulnerable finger, twin hand touch pads that record thoughts instantly, or heat vision to engrave entries into its pages), a chess-playing robot, specialized exercise equipment, a laboratory where Superman worked on various projects such as developing defenses to kryptonite, a room-sized computer, communications equipment, and rooms dedicated to all of his friends, including one for Clark Kent to fool visitors. As the stories continued, it was revealed that the Fortress was where Superman's robot duplicates were stored. It also contained the Phantom Zone projector, various pieces of alien technology he had acquired on visits to other worlds, and, much like the Batcave, trophies of his past adventures. Indeed, the Batcave and Batman himself made an appearance in the first Fortress story. The Fortress also became the home of the bottle city of Kandor (until it was enlarged), and an apartment in the Fortress was set aside for Supergirl.
You’re treating vertical integration as if it’s this absolute thing. Apple is clearly more vertically integrated than any other laptop brand by virtue of designing everything from the CPU to the OS. That remains true even though Apple doesn’t run their own chip fabs or mine their own bauxite.
> Call me Cappy Paranoid, but I fall into the camp of "You should never trust a service provider, ever," and build infrastructure accordingly; I believe this falls into an extreme interpretation of "zero trust".

That's not what Zero Trust means, at all.

How is this relevant in your mind? Do you imagine most Americans crossing entire states in their daily commute? Do you imagine people and goods do not cross European borders?
Indeed. You see it even with us in the tech business. A lot of people used to love tinkering with computers as a kid, got into it for a living, and then want nothing to do with computers in their free time after work. It's just how it goes when you do something all day long for work, you don't necessarily want to do it for fun too.
"Trust but verify" was political double speak from the start, it's fascinating how it still lives on for so long.

And they have to assume you will assume this, so they would expect your silos will already be emptied in a retaliatory strike. Of course you have to trust early-warning systems and the ability to react decisively and quickly.
The 8086 and 80286 were so difficult to program, both in assembler and higher level languages. Everyone was relieved when the 386 and 486 came around - at last you could program sensibly and use operating systems that didn't crash all the time because of good memory protection.
I enjoyed Daemon. It’s a bit more in the pop fic category, but entertaining.

I’m surprised to find it was written in 2006. Seems oddly precient with Teslas roaming around everywhere now.
Passmark shows the M4 chips slower than the M3, so something weird is going on. Geekbench 6 has the M4 well ahead of Intel and AMD, with the M3 about 25% slower like you'd expect: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu_benchmark-geekbench_6_sing...

It's amazing how these are the biggest information organizing platforms in the internet and yet they fail to find different words to describe their products.
Not really. The actual value to your life per dollar is lower the richer you are. So if you’re well enough off that a few bucks won’t make any difference when they go missing vs life changing money on the off chance it hits, it is worth it to buy some number of tickets. It basically equates to no change if lose, rich if win. The problem is when people are spending dollars that will actually affect their lives hoping to win.

I’ve not seen it applied to the lottery specifically but you might even be able to use the Kelly Criterion to determine how much you can lose.

Very fair question! Honestly the main reason it's source available rn instead of open source is we haven't decided on a license internally, as opposed to business reasons. As for monetization, the two areas we're exploring are publication, subscriptions to blogs, a la substack, and a "pro" tier, with better tools for managing lots of documents.
CUDA is simply not important for modern vLLM and many many others. DeepSeek V3 works great on SGLang. https://www.amd.com/en/developer/resources/technical-article...

Can you do absolutely everything? No. But most models will run or retrain fine now without CUDA. This premise keeps getting recycled from the past, even as that past has grown ever more distant.

> The question I come back to over and over again is: wins what?

everything, forever.

The not so glib answer is economic and military superiority on Earth, and so whatever values or goals the AGI pursues from that point on will have a pretty high chance of success. Growth seems like one of the universal things that life seeks, and so I predict expansion into space for solar power and resources for most goals or value systems.
It really isn't. As the parent commenter mentioned, most of the ipv4 traffic comes from non-ISPs, which makes sense given that basically nobody uses p2p given how much of a pain NAT traversal is. Maybe there's a point that ISPs are the last holdouts, we're nowhere close to that yet.
I genuinely have no idea what you are talking about.

Is there a particular reason you don't want to discuss the EU working group which is what I posted in response to your comment.

I didn't even dive in to how your original comment doesn't make sense to me. How do you think the DSA would help or change anything regarding either.
I didn't think it was "obviously fake" (unlike, say, the recent Chicago gambling one) at first glance. I had to zoom in to see the horrors.
The appearance (both the text font and the UI chrome icons and colors) really is not to my liking. I see that you can already change the foreground and background color of your document. Any plans to add more options?
It needs about 22 GB of memory after 4 bit AWQ quantization. So top end consumer cards like Nvidia's 3090 - 5090 or AMD's 7900 XTX will run it.
So connect over cellular or personal hotspot, then connect to WiFi to avoid burning your data. This is definitely becoming more common.

I discovered the workaround purely by accident, when I took my laptop to work (which is unusual, it's a personal device not used for work but I needed to do some work on files that were on it). It was logged into my Tailscale when I last turned it on at the house and I discovered that it reconnected fine as long as it didn't have to do the authentication over the work network.
I believe I do. If you disagree you have to explain your position with more words, because I don’t feel like guessing.

Intel really was a powerhouse then and on par in terms of "cool" with Microsoft.

Crazy to think of that now given how much their paths have diverged.
Trying, failing, and many of us dying are also on the table. There's no target number where climate change will magically be solved, and our population has been doubling roughly every 25 years. Unfortunately we're starting to see other demands for our attention. The next billion people might all be climate scientists, who knows, but they just as well might all end up fighting over constrained resources instead.

My point with the "mass extinction aren't a human event" comment is that the Earth does not privilege us in the slightest. Exponential growth is not natural. Extinction events are natural.
It is very often used to mean simply "contradicts what seemed intuitive to me".

If this were set in Japan as you propose, and we substituted “onigiri stall” or “izakaya” for “Mexican restaurant,” would that affect the substance of the gp’s observation?

To my mind, when gp said “Mexican restaurant,” that conjured a familiar image of a particular type of informal, moderately sized, sit-in-and-delivery kind of establishment that’s probably a small business rather than managed as a corporate chain. And I wouldn’t assume that a Mexican restaurant is necessarily staffed by people of Mexican ancestry.

I do feel like, in my limited exposure to Japanese culture, I hear less worry than I do from Americans about problems on this spectrum of individual economic freedom/empowerment <—> enslavement. But that’s an observation in which I’m very far from confident—I’d be curious to hear how it fits (or doesn’t) with the broader point you’re making.
The children themselves would be in the streets protesting if you banned iPhones in the UK.

From the description, I gotta give Severance credit for a dystopia fully evocative of modern life. That said, it sounds far too stop on for me to want watch it and indeed it gives me the willies just thinking about it.
You should be able to change all the colors in the theme options! As for fonts, currently working on adding options there! Probably not going to support custom icons though, but maybe an minimal mode (sans icons, maybe only text) could be interesting?

I thought this too but I think the amd mobile series chips have mostly caught up
> First is that Mac screens are much closer to 3K than 4K. You can find tons of really nice 14" 3K laptops so the gap is pretty much negligible there, especially if you consider how cheap you can get 3K OLEDs on Windows PCs nowadays.

You are discounting the quality of a Macbook screen without understanding how it differs from competitors. A Macbook is the only laptop on the market that accurately reproduces colors out of the box to an extent that is sufficient for color grading photographs or video. I'm a hobbyist photographer and primarily do editing on a desktop where I have LG and Ezio displays that are color accurate, but when I'm out and about there is no alternative on the market I can buy other than a Macbook, because while on paper the "resolution" of other laptops may be similar or even superior, in actuality they are somewhat between shit-tier and D tier in actual color reproduction and quality. Macbook displays are MASSIVELY better than anything any other laptop offers at any price point non-Apple.

I previously used a mixture of different laptops and have over the course of time shifted to using Macbooks for everything because the performance, battery life, power efficiency, display quality, software availability, and annoyance minimization advantages are so large for Apple that it makes no sense to use anything else, except perhaps Linux just to use Linux (which I do on a Framework 13 for personal tinkering projects). I don't see how anyone can honestly recommend that anybody purchase a non-Apple laptop in 2025 for any purpose other than tinkering with Linux, in which case the Frameworks are great.

There's obviously a cost to that superiority and not everyone can afford it, but that doesn't mean alternatives are /preferable/. They clearly are not, they are a trade-off in every single aspect. Even in the case of weight that you mentioned, that trade-off is in durability, the Macbook weighs more because it has an entirely metal chassis and most non-Apple laptops are cheap plastic monstrosities.
I thought this recovery has been well-known for quite a few years.

It really is proof that concerted effort can bring about worldwide change, for little sacrifice.
I'm still using uBlock Origin on Chrome just fine, I don't even see a warning that it'll be removed
You seem to be arguing with a strawman here -- who said you need an M3 Ultra for energy efficient Face ID?
Its the same host-to-host usb network, I believe.

I'm super interested in the clustering capability. At launch people said they were only getting like 11Gbps from their TB4 drive arrays, which was really way less than expected.

Apple does kind of advertise that each TB port has its own controllers. Which gives me hope that whatever 1x port can do 6x can do 6x better.

AMD's Strix Halo victory feels much more shallow today. Eventually 48GB or 64GB sticks will probably expand Strix Halo to 192 then 256GB. But Strix Halo is super super io starved, is basically a desktop of IO, with no way to easily host-to-host, and Apple absolutely understands that the use of a chip is bounded by what it can connect to. 6x TB5, if even half true, will be utterly outstanding.

It's been so so so so cool to see Non-Transparent Bridging atop thunderbolt, so one host can act like a device. Since it's PCIe, that hypothetically would allow amazing RDMA over TB. USB4 mandates host to host networking, but I have no idea how it is implemented and I suspect it's no where near as close to the metal.
I wonder if (especially after finishing the bottom part of the article) a mailing list type of interaction, but with Git, is exactly the sort of "in the open" version that is described as a potential improvement.

I'm not sure to what degree that natively allows for integration between Git and an MTA but it would still have most of the desired aspects.
You're justified in writing that mine is a weird (I know you wrote curious but I'll go further) take. I expanded my thinking beyond the scope you referenced but at least in part, yes. I have to log in to their interface, figure out and drill into where they offer that download. I don't want their branding and I don't want to manage my money in the way they constrain me to. I don't really want multiple accounts or to play interest maximization games by acting fiddley for example. At the highest level, I think about my flows in percentage allocations. 10% for charity, 10% for my kid's college (until there was enough), 10% for savings, so forth. As presented I'm constantly fiddling with specific money amounts for automation and stuck in the ledger rather than with sources and sinks with tagging based allocation and management policies. I'm ignoring the horsecrap around the ways they bilk the poor which is a separate kind of evil.
Something Happens When You Trust Quantum Mechanics
Covid-19: A Second Opinion (2022)
I was doing a lot of 6502 and 68000 assembly programming. Then (around 1988?) I got a PC with an 80286, and bought a book that described the 80286 instruction set. After reading it, I said "this is some bullshit" and returned the book for a refund. I had zero interest in writing a single line of code for that processor.
It's about expected value. The assumption is more people buy in at higher payouts causing the pot to split. Usually the EV is negative. The real insight here was that this state lottery was not so popular as evidenced by long spans of time between payouts.

Net EV=cost to buy in - probability of winning * (jackpot size / number of people you split it with)

If you have a 1% chance of winning $100 your EV is $1. If you pay $1 to play you breakeven. If the pot is $200 then your EV is $2. You would pay $1 all day for that. But again the risk is more people want to play. If 2 people win then your EV drops back to even.
As an Aussie, it terrifies me that it could be anywhere close to what working in America could be like. But having heard stories like the Walmart "smile" failure in Germany, I can only assume it's not too far off.
And no - not "misinformation".
Louis surely also has enough money to test this. Buy a $100 Brother laser, update to latest firmware. Buy 10 different el cheapo toner carts and test them all.
If you really believe that argument, why don't we follow it to the logical conclusion, that all crimes should be made into state enterprises. State home burglary? State cryptocoin rugpull? State hitman? State jaywalking?

It is considerably easier for a country that would be equivalent to one of the smallest U.S. states to abandon their dependence on cars than it is a country 237 times larger. Furthermore, the further west you go in theU.S. the more spread out things get until you reach the west coast. To the east of where I live there is a highway that is 287 miles long and is almost devoid of any services whatsoever, no civilization to speak of, not even a gas station. You can Google it, it is known as the "Loneliest Road in America". Not sure how less dependence on cars handles situations like that. Guess my overall point is until you drive across the U.S., it is difficult to fully understand the scale of the problem, let alone the solution.
