I can put this course on our radar to put up (as part of the work soul.mit.edu does).

One difficulty is that it's not usually taught in a room with an automatic video recording setup, so it's not that easy, in terms of logistics, to get the course recorded. But I'll see what we can do next fall (it's taught in the fall).
> This is an incredibly lazy comment.

It isn't, and it's amusing how people get riled with a simple request to justify why dismissed someone else's opinion without presenting a single argument.

> I think you and most people would agree on the immense utility of Apple products.

They are consumer electronics, and laptop manufacturers are a dime a dozen. Why do you believe they are special in that regard? I mean, until recently they even shipped with a below-standard amount of RAM.

> There’s also no evidence that demand increases with price in MacBooks.

That's the definition of a Veblen good, something that is not known for being useful beyond serving as a status symbol.

Latest will do 64GB RAM with some CPUs too.
I tried that Unsloth R1 quantization on my dual Xeon Gold 5218 with 384 GB DDR4-2666 (about half of memory channels used, so not most optimal).

Type IQ2_XXS / 183GB, 16k context:

CPU only: 3 t/s (tokens per second) for PP (prompt processing) and 1.44 t/s for response.

CPU + NVIDIA RTX 70GB VRAM: 4.74 t/s for PP and 1.87 t/s for response.

I wish Unsloth produce similar quantization for DeepSeek V3, - it will be more useful, as it doesn't need reasoning tokens, so even with same t/s it will faster overall.
Why not just leave? I mean for those who can afford. Especially when this is happening in a country with so many firearms. It could quickly be easier to resist from a safe place.
Amazingly, four of five justices said the President should be able to refuse to pay contractors for completed work from funds Congress had already allocated. WTF.

Or maybe it’s more amazing it wasn’t six of them saying that.

One really lovely part is how this would permanently make every government contract more expensive, if they got their way. Just great.

It's clearly a guide for regimes that are in transition from liberal democracy to authoritarianism, not regimes that are fully authoritarian. It looks like it's a jab to the current Trump presidency because it's following a well-worn path. Others have commented how it applies to Hungary too, and imagine there are plenty of others too. In 2017 these were more a threat than a reality, but this time most of them are already in place.

> Every administration for the last 70+ years has increased real spending

This is the logic a Victorian surgeon hacking at a patient, safe in the knowledge that sea sponges do alright with a fraction of a human’s organs.

70 years ago we were reeling from WWII. We were entering the Cold War with fragile new alliances and only had a middle class because of massive government spending. Our real GDP was 10x smaller, our population half as numerous. What we are doing today is recreating the conditions of the Great Depression because our public education apparently can’t teach history. There is waste and fraud abundant. But not where Musk is looking. DOGE itself would be near the top of the list.

Was curious what the actual energy available for Voyager 1 & 2 actually is, so I went and looked. Ended up finding much greater amount than I actually planned to.

At 43.9151 years (September 5, 1977), Voyager 1 is now at 49.14% (last report) of what used to be a 471 watt power supply at start of mission.

At 43.5263 years (August 20, 1977), Voyager 2 is now at 49.09% (last report) of what used to be a 476 watt power supply at start of mission.

The barrage of disastrous news last month has me clinging to a a few bright spots peaking through the rubble, like fired federal workers embracing the greater good of their work, smart people (including a few elected officials), speaking out directly and forcefully against government tyranny…and those who quickly and kinda humorously call out the lies, particularly those oozing out of the Oval Office.

KiCad gains celebrity user :) Congratulations KiCad! The team has really been doing a fantastic job the last few years, I'm consistently impressed at how much new stuff they implement. It seems every few months there is a new major version.
> Just to keep everyone one the treadmill

Unironically yes. Although it's arguably a win-win. Google constantly keeps its pipeline of candidates open which means that if you're looking for a job and you clear the resume bar, you'll get an interview. Meanwhile teams are constantly hiring so they'll want a steady stream of candidates.

The alternative would mean that unless your timing for a job search is perfect, you won't even get a foot in the door and teams within Google will also struggle to fill open positions since it would take a while to interview the candidate pool.
probably best to understand the way people use the term as a risk spectrum, from riskless arbitrage where there is no window for losing money, through say a real estate deal where you find a seller at a good price, and you find a buyer at the market price, and you insert yourself in the middle (a perfect houseflip) even though you don't have the capital to suffer the loss if things get screwed up, to an antique shop that buys on speculation and sells to reliable clients. A pawn shop is arbitrage too.

generally people mean by arbitrage that you enter into a transaction having both a seller and a buyer in mind, or you have two liquid markets with different prices.

How much traffic can a pre-rendered Next.js site handle?
If I were ever to build a blog from scratch, I'd follow the guidelines based on what features I prefer over others.

I built shedtheshade.com few years ago, and learnt a few things about blogs along the way.

Here are my takeaways:

- Substack is great for starters

- Mailing should be always included with blog config for best results

- If a blog is updated, best way is to make sure changes are reflected in real-time as it can do a lot of damage.

- People(and crawlers) don't tend to wait for a lot of time, make sure it is fast for at least first paragraph loading in few seconds

- Understanding about Readability in modern society is important

- Media hosts should be served via CDN

- Comments should be independent to blog post db because it's the only user entered content with possiblity of getting your blog hacked

Hence the best way would be:

- Some SSG (preferably SEO optimised)

- Backend API on CF Workers

- Websockets for Blog Update

- Some DB (Preferably NoSQL for Posts and SQL for User Acc. info)

- Additional Layer of CDN

- API for Top or Suggestive Posts

- Editor.js for Editing

Grift grift grift.

Its not subtle at all. One of the first executive orders was announcing non-enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/paus...

Then this week the Treasury has basically given international criminals & ultra-wealthy tax cheats the pass of their life, by again simply not enforcing the Corporate Transparency Act. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0038

Its a travesty to see such trampling of basic governmental health, such willingness to let officials wet their beak / grift, and to let wealthy & criminal elements go unmonitored.

Genuine question, how does multi step reasoning work for you then?
Like eg if you have some math problem that's trivially to solve individually but needs multiple steps, lets say 16 * 3 + 5?
How does 16 * 3 = 48 land in some 'register' of your brain (short term memory), so that you can then add 5 to get to 53? Maybe 16 * 3 + 5 is to easy for you and you'll just 'see' it but the question still stands, just choose a more complex problem.

Isn't the same meta process at play when thinking about more fuzzy topics?
OCR predates modern AI including deep learning and LLMs. It worked based on heuristics that were hard-coded. These techniques are faster and require less CPU power but are more error-prone while AI-assisted combined heuristics for written and typed content recognition can deal with more variability. Even still, the USPS employs people (or at least it did) to correct addresses manually that its automated pre-modern AI address scanning software cannot determine with enough confidence. Perhaps modern AI (deep learning) could replace most of those jobs but perhaps not all as some could be read by humans that algorithms might not be able to decide with enough confidence and other labels are truly undecipherable even with all the AI techniques in the world and need to be returned to sender (RTS).

> the not-so-secret third option, a disgruntled State Dept bureaucrat made a choice

If this happened in isolation, sure. We’re also firing random weapons stockpile experts, bird flu, customs agents (while raising tariffs? Bailout for smugglers?), IRS agents (while trying to cut fraud, mind you) and forest servicers (after record wildfires). Against that backdrop, chaotic shutdown has ample explanatory value.

You need a lot of ketamine to see the patterns in this madness. Instead, let’s take it at face value: these are illegal acts of random mendaciousness designed to demoralise federal workers before the courts cut Musk off. Musk, not Trump, is taking the lead because he can weather a lot more heat and Trump’s main deliverable to Thiel and Andreessen is his tax cut.

The rack mount Mac Pro doesn't really make sense for a data center. It's 5U high, which is much too big for a data center. It doesn't have standard server features like redundant power supplies.

The only use case I can think of is for audio workstations, where people have lots of rack mount equipment, so you can have everything including the computer in the rack. But even for that use case it's quite big.
Same. One thing I remember was that Twitter (where the data was reported) got blocked at about the same time. 2010 was a bit nuts. The government tried to explain it away that the area near liangmaqiao was especially bad for Beijing, which was hilarious.

It didn’t actually get that much better when we left in August 2016, but I hear it is much better today. Also, anyone can buy an AQI sensor of Amazon these days for $90, so it’s difficult to keep AQI readings under wraps
Well he hasn’t taken Trump’s direction on the war, has he?
Skimming a fair chunk of it by hand (and some others have run it through LLMs) it seems extremely mundane. I also find the publisher's claims that he "[just can't] bring [him]self to sit down and read 77 pages of these messages right now" implausible. He's self promoting like crazy, is/was a professional reporter, and 77 pages of sparsely spaced telegram chats is like 30 minutes of reading. If there was some big story awaiting in those 77 pages (or the entire leak for that matter) he'd, with 100% certainty, want to be the one breaking it.

So it's most likely just going to be an insight into a different culture/worldview, like reading e.g. /r/anarchism. In many ways this is also the same with the Clinton leaks. Unless one was just horrifically naive of how politics works, there was nothing particularly exceptional in it. The really wild stuff came from interpreting messages as having coded meanings.

I guess it depends on your threshold for "flocking". Certainly there are still a ton of people (and bots) left on Twitter (for example), but people did leave and go to Bluesky and Mastodon.

And if the place people go to is a smaller player with comparatively not that many users, that influx can present scaling problems for them, even if it's a drop in the bucket for the platform they came from.

I don't disagree that cutting the program seems shortsighted. The issue I took with the grandparent comment is that it was simply uninformed.

> Let's not kid ourselves that this program probably cost upwards of several million dollars.

That's completely within the realm of possibility. I'd be surprised if you could set up any program at a federal level with less funding than that. 2 million dollars is a 25 man team if salaries and overhead are $80,000 per head. I really have no insight into what these kinds of programs cost, but I guarantee there is no way you're standing up servers in 100+ embassies for $10 a day.

> Wired cut my access just before I was able to cite

This is the same as not citing a source at all. Another user commented [0] that each of these servers cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $180,000 to $250,000 just to set up.

Bluesky also has the dubious distinction of starting at Twitter, having been founded by the Twitter founder, splitting off when the mothership got acquired.
There is the theoretical understanding, and then there is how it meshes with reality.

The theoretical understanding is that we are in an ideological war. If you strip away all the nuance and ask for a high level understanding of what is happening right now, that is happening right now.

When meshed into reality it is a bit more complicated... neither side of our government is on the side of democracy. One is straight fascist, the other is in favor of a corporate state or oligarchy. Both party's power primarily comes from news media (oligarch owned) and from legalized bribery (the richest have the most power), so neither can challenge oligarchic power, because oligarchic power is where their power comes from. The fascist party is currently in the process of giving themselves power by replacing enforcement institutions with loyalists. Once all the people who enforce the law are loyalists, they can decide what the law is, and then it's no longer people with money who have all the power, but people the enforcers of "law" are loyal to.

Neither party can fight oligarchy because to fight oligarchy is to disempower themselves. Bernie and AOC might be the only exceptions.
There are many flavours of authoritarianism, this is a guide how to act in the early phase of one of them (regimes that started from a democracy).

Maybe you are too US-centric (wouldn't be the first time that happened to someone from the US), but as someone from Central Europe I had to immediately think about Hungary — Trump is said to follow the Orban playbook, a mental line not only drawn by me, but also by the European Council for Foreign Relations: https://ecfr.eu/publication/the-orbanisation-of-america-hung...

Now China's regime is in power since 1949 and there was no democracy before. People who had the chance to enact the advice in the 50s are likely dead by now. So you literally criticized the article for not covering a thing they said in the introduction they are not covering.

Just a hint: critical thinking involves a step where you try to play the devils advocate and try to find all flaws with your own thinking. If you skip that step it means your goal isn't finding the truth, but finding a plausible counter-argument. This isn't critical thinking, it is contrarian thinking, so something that finds a point that could (to a non-critical audience) seem like a weakness of a thought, but doesn't hold water under close scrutiny. Good for use as an unfair rethorical tool, bad to establish good discourse.

Trump praises authoritarians, has said multiple things that showed he wanted to be one, uses authoritarian language and has done political things that square with being an authoritarian — he is a textbook authoritarian. No discussion needed at, all a spade is a spade. Whether it is still early authoritarianism is the interesting question.
That's what I'm trying to get to.
Looking to set up a rig, and AMD Epyc seems reasonable but I'd rather go Mac if it's giving many more tokens per second. It does sound like the Mac with M3 Ultra will easily give 40 tokens/s, where as the Epyc is just internally constrained too much, giving 4-5 tokens/s but I'd like someone to confirm that, instead of buying the HW and finding out myself. :)
SCOTUS said the money could not be frozen, but I don't think they put a deadline on when it had to be paid out. So it's not over.

The VP and Musk have both written recently about how the judiciary can't tell the executive branch what to do. I think Vance called it illegal. Regardless, law is meaningless if no one will enforce it.
This is still mission creep even if it is a low cost. In fact this often how focus is lost and costs accumulate...

It is not embassies' role to provide this service. It is quite reasonable to stop.

Of course people will argue that it was perhaps useful to the people of Beijing, New Delhi, etc. but the real question is what does this have to do with US embassies and the US government?
