Why even ask it for the command to run? Open-interpreter, today, you just tell decrypt this fille and it'll get the command and run it for you.

Your own brand of idealism (the maybe) is that this success was about finding a bag of “brilliant people” by happenstance. Which is great man history in another guise.
I think there will be some argument in the comments about whether any LLM can be considered unusable for this test.

That is, is there any current LLM where you could prompt it with something like an interview question and it would give you perfect code one shot or zero shot?

It might be better to host an LLM and craft the questions such that you know that the LLM will screw it up. Or, since you're self-hosting, you can have the system prompt, say insert subtle bugs that aren't syntax errors. I'll have to test if that actually does anything.
Then you have a much bigger and immediate problem at hand.
Save? Where are you getting this idea from? Move from buttons to touchscreen raised the price because touchscreens are expensive. Return to buttons will raise the price once again because buttons are extra parts.

The company also recycles EV batteries for other uses, but presumably not in this case or I'm sure they would have mentioned it.
I agree with everything except the last paragraph. China is not a shining example of a nation peacefully making wonderful things happen for their citizens.

The Chinese government is known to be persecuting people on political and religious grounds. Their mass abuse and unjustified violence towards the Falun Gong, Christians, Uyghurs, and basically anyone who refuses to bend a knee to the Party is well documented, and is a pattern that has continued for decades.

I'm sure the US government also does horrible things, but it's not nearly as violent towards its own citizens, and doesn't persecute people nearly as much.
Progressives are in an eternal battle with the right-wing since they never rise to advocating for socialism, only for smartypants arguments for why rich people and entities should still exist but with the government nibbling at a larger percent of their wealth and income.

> Hyperlink + query parameters were a way to provide interactivity (with a server roundtrip of course)

Not if you want to be pedantic. At least, if you want to follow the rules, GET requests should never change visible state on the server.

So the interactivity would be limited to searching/filtering existing content, but you wouldn't be able to add new content.

For that, you'd need POST requests, i.e. buttons.
How does mooncake work with std oltp workloads? Can I use Postgres with OLTP , add mooncake and expect duckdb-level of performance for OLAP queries?
I know that SAP HANA has some sort of several layers of storage and automatic movement of data between them to allow for such performant OLTP/OLAP hybrid, and I think this is the holy grail for cheap/open source db. Users need OLTP first but don’t want to add Kafka + clickhouse or similar pipelines when OLAP is needed.

Is my anxiety warranted yet if I'm a trans person? Because I wish people would at least acknowledge reality, that there is a tangible threat of genocide around, that we're being targeted for easy rhetorical wins, that trans women are currently put in men's prison despite court orders prohibiting it - not despite but because they'll be raped and "v-coded".

What I mostly get is indifference or "didoing" ("it's not so bad") - and yes, that indifference spikes my anxiety. Because it feels like this is the same indifference that ultimately lead to "Didn't the Germans know what was happening?". The answer is, they didn't care to look.
> With my regular lenses there's a part of the screen that's about a half dollar coin in size that's clear and in focus. The rest of the screen is every so slightly blurry.

I have two glasses that have lenses with a similar prescription. The older one has some basic lenses and anything outside the center gets gradually less clear towards the edges. The newer one has aspherical lenses and even the areas near the edges are quite clear. It wasn't expensive either.
The best lens I have used was probably a zeiss one but I'm guessing the full featured zeiss is probably quite expensive.

The "state" does not have a preference, states are conflicted by nature.

Alabama executed a man with nitrogen in January 2025.

Sometimes the ability to boot an efi-capable image from any efi partition is useful. For example, I used it to install multiple operating systems (including Windows) without a flash drive — you simply create a sufficiently large efi partition on any disk in the system, unpack the iso on it, and pick the new option from the menu. Then wipe the partition when it's no longer needed.

It even works if you have only one disk — the firmware is supposed to support many efi partitions on the same disk, and although I'm sure some of them don't, I haven't personally seen any.

Polars dataframes in Rust are still dynamically typed. For example:

let df = df![
"name" => ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"],
"age" => [25, 30, 35]
]?;

let ages = df.column(“age”)?;

There’s no Rust type-level knowledge of what type the “age” or “name” column is, for example. The result of df.column is a Series, which has to be cast to a Rust type based on the developer’s knowledge of what the column is expected to contain.

You can do things like this:

let oldies = df.filter(&df.column("age")?.gt(30)?)?;

So the casting can be automatic, but this will fail at runtime if the age column doesn’t contain numeric values.

One type-related feature that Polars does have is because the contents of a Series is represented as a Rust value, all values in a series must have the same type. This is a constraint compared to traditional dataframes, but it provides a performance benefit when processing large series. You can cast an entire Series to a typed Rust value efficiently, and then operate on the result in a typed fashion.

But as you said, you can’t use Python libraries directly with Polars dataframes. You’d need conversion and foreign function interfaces. If you need that, you’d probably be better off just using Python.

I read most of this article. basically because James Randi dismissed positive results for ESP experiments out of hand that makes him not a skeptic. Because astral projection was rejected out of hand, James Randi isn't a skeptic.

You see, there's data that showed positive test results. And that implies that there is ESP or astral projection or out-of-body communication or channels for communication between members of a tribe or whatever.

And that means that we must consider that data.

The article even quotes the extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but they apply it to Randi not looking at the data from some ESP experiment.

This article reads like sour grapes and is typical of the anti-skeptic movement.

Or as James Randi would call it, Woo.

This whole thing started with Tesla. Re-inventing the wheel because they think they know better. Musk's MO.

Other car makers only see the initial sales and jump on the wagon to copy and undo what was learned over many years to be safer only to then creep back many years later.

Same thing with Apple and removing the ESC key in favor of the touch bar or only having USB-C ports on a power user laptop with video over USB-C still being uncommon in conference rooms.

So much wasted time and resources.

Soon we will have removable batteries in phones and there will be people that have never seen this before...

At least no one died not being able to plug in their laptop in a conference room but someone probably did die operating the AC and hitting a deer because they had to look down.

I feel like the internet is turning into TV. There are not that many things going on, instead, there's a firehose that directs all the rage or all the love to something for some period of time. Almost like the legacy media picking topics and directing the narrative.

I'm particularly annoyed by Twitter lately because I can no longer share anything with my GF because she have already seen it. Our timelines are largely similar, it doesn't matter much who do you follow. Also, the algorithmic discovery being the default is very effective to create this channels(Technology Connections recently made a video about it).

On Twitter it appears like there are few talking points, or "channels", are being pushed based on location and few other things maybe and apparently to get exposure you have to say something that fits the narrative.

Maybe its not intentional, maybe its the result of the algo dividing people in cohorts or something but I'm very annoyed by the potentially destructive effect of the firehose. Everyone being very outraged of something for short period of time or being very excited for short period of time can't be healthy because it lacks depth and continuation.

> If the request allows checking arbitrary ages like Apple's, then you can get their age with a handful of requests. If one has to verify every visit, then you can get exact birthdate eventually.

If you assume a sensible rate limit, that entering the check is voluntary (and unlikely to fail), and that people age monotonically, then it's going to require a lot of cooperation from the victim to get more than a couple of bits of entropy.

I wouldn't trust Apple here regardless, since they are not the state and have their own separate interests.

There is a significant amount of ignorance and bad faith in your comment that I usually don't bother replying to people like you, but I am in a patient mood.

Have you ever tried to transfer money, I don't know, ANYWHERE with the legacy banking system? ACH transfers can take days, and you don't have a single clue what is happening with your money between banks -- let alone what your real balance is anywhere until it clears. And there is an upper limit on the amount you can transfer.

If you want "instant" transfers, you get to pay a paltry fee of a PERCENTAGE OF YOUR TRANSFER if using debit. For wire transfers, you only have to fill out a massive transfer sheet with a ridiculous number of values that you absolutely cannot get wrong, and after you slog through that mess you get to pay a small fee of over $25.00 to make a transfer -- assuming your bank allows it after you ask pretty please to move your money.

That is just with money movement.

With Bitcoin? I get an address, I paste it, I double check, I click transfer. Boom, done. I get to see exactly where it is in the transfer process, exactly what is happening, and I can send ANY AMOUNT for the same tiny fees. That is on the mainnet. If using lightning, those fees largely vanish and the transfer becomes instantaneous.

Just the FUNCTIONAL experience is absolutely leagues ahead of the legacy banking system, without even talking about minting, auditing, fraud, etc. it really isn't even close to the systems before it.

Places like Brazil have much better experiences. The PIX transfer system resembles the crypto experience, but more ironed out, instant, and free. It makes the legacy banking system much more tolerable, but it still suffers from the other reasons crypto is better; like international remittances, and sovereignty of wealth.

To the author: Yes, do consider SolidJS seriously. I find that its reactivity system is simple and the easiest to reason about, with none of the messiness and constant changes to "the best practice way to do things" like React has gone through the years.

SolidJS seems designed right so that it doesn't need so many major revisions and it feels quite stable.

It feels like an evolved React that is simpler to use.

Also its signals and stores can be used in normal .ts files, so it is easier to create re-usable "stores".

How many innocent people is it okay to put to death? You'll note that I'm not saying that either of the examples that you gave are innocent people, but innocent people are put to death, so: how many?

This isn't a trick question. It's not okay to say, well, ideally there should be none. I'm asking right now since you think we should be hanging people in the public square.

The death penalty necessarily means in our imperfect information world that innocent people will be put to death. So there's no bright line for anything that we can point to and say that's how you do it.

It is also not okay to say that they exhausted all avenues of the justice system available to them and unfortunately it didn't work and them's the breaks kid.

So how many innocent people is it okay to put to death?

This was my gut response to password vaults when they were first implemented. I still find the idea of password vaults spooky.

Open source ones scare me because it seems easy to slip a compromised library. The XZ debacle can't be the only time that's been tried.

All of them scare me because a bad browser extension or a more minor hack, like a trojan, could likely compromise all passwords.
