"I first tried to write a story when I was about seven. It was about a dragon. I remember nothing about it except a philological fact. My mother said nothing about the dragon, but pointed out that one could not say “A green great dragon,” but had to say “a great green dragon.” I wondered why, and still do." - J. R. R. Tolkien
You are right, I was unnecessarily harsh here, due to my own frustration that in 2025 people still can't grasp the current levels of scientific discourse on climate change — despite an abundance of good material on the matter. Maybe 20 years ago when things didn't look as overwhelmingly clear I would have reacted differently, but now it just feels exhausting.
Right, so it Feels like the employees of the Tow shop can make a lot more money by selling it to themselves (or family members, or however it can be laundered), but instead they traded that opportunity (scam) cost for a shorter DMV lineup. Doesn't seem sensible (as far as highly illegal scams go).

This is an edge case. Disassembly may not tell the whole story but it is the definitive answer to what the compiler thinks about your code. Given enough knowledge it is not difficult to account for cache/memory accesses, see where store-to-load forwarding may or may not kick in, consider optimal independent operations scheduling, check if the code is too branch heavy or not, etc etc.

And once you're done, you can do another round with tools which can do more detailed analysis like https://uica.uops.info

I do this when writing performance-sensitive C# all the time (it's very easy to quickly get compiler disassembly) and it saves me a lot of time.
It’s a bit of a hot take, but not wildly outlandish either.

Pandas supports so many use cases and is still more feature rich than polars. But you always have the polars.DataFrame.to_pandas() function in your back pocket so realistically you can always at least start with polars.

Meh... I'm from Europe and it's about the same, if you are at least somewhat selective about what you eat (and it might be much harder and/or expensive to do that in some places).
I don't think the D&L is losing anything in that arrangement. They're only ever entitled to the towing and storage fees. Any excess above the towing and storage fees goes to the owner.

Fairly pricing the car may make it take longer to sell.

Assuming that towing is much more profitable than storage and that their business is mostly storage limited (e.g. they could tow more but their lot quickly fills)-- then anything that helps them quickly turn over cars-- including fast sales and line skipping-- can make them a lot more money.

The only way selling hurts them is if they're so towing limited that quickly selling cars will leave their lot empty when they could have otherwise been earning storage fees. And even then, a car with storage fees in-excess of its value will never get picked up nor sell for more than those fees and could easily turn into a loss for them.

Given that crooks like these can probably just go around and tow random cars should their lot ever be too empty, I'm going to guess that not having enough to maximize their storage income was never their problem.

You can upload a PDF directly, and the vOCR API supports a page_range parameter so you can specify which pages to process in a single request (e.g., [1,10]).

If your PDF has more than 10 pages, you can make multiple requests, each specifying a different page range (e.g., [1,10], [11,20], etc.). No need to manually split the file.

Also, I totally get that tokens can feel abstract. However by making this shift we can focus on processing time. In doing so the token-based pricing model allows us to be more flexible and provide more at a cheaper cost.

For example, instead of $0.05 per invocation it could be as low as $0.0014–$0.0035 per page depending on factors like the amount of text extracted and formatting.

We do appreciate the feedback and will continue make this approach as transparent as possible.
No. You want it because you want "total security" to feel safe but your authoritarian world doesn't make me and others feel safe. Thankfully, the government wants the power so they'll use it against dissidents when it matters hence you'll get a semblance of your way.

You can't block technology though. Government or not. People find a way.

Running Python on ESP32-S3 with NuttX
As an outsider looking at Microsoft, I've always been impressed by the attention to maintaining legacy APIs and backward compatibility in the Windows ecosystem. In my mind, Microsoft is at the opposite end of the killedbygoogle.com spectrum. However, none of this is grounded in real evidence (just perception). Red Hat is another company I'd put forth as an example of a long-term support culture, although I don't know if that's still true under IBM.

I'd love to know if my superficial impression of Microsoft's culture is wrong. I'm sure there's wild variance between organizational units, of course. I'm excluding the Xbox/games orgs from my mental picture.
My long-shot hope is that the page can come to embody most of the wiring on the page, that how things interact can be encoded there. Behavior of the page can be made visible! There's so much allure to me to hypermedia that's able to declare itself well.

This could radically enhance user agency, if users/extensions can rewire the page on the fly, without having to delve into the (bundled, minified) JS layers.

There's also a chance the just-merged (!) moveBefore() capability means that frameworks will recreate HTML elements less, which is a modern regression that has severely hampered extensions/user agency. https://github.com/whatwg/dom/pull/1307

Moat is an orwellian word. It is a conceptual metaphor explicitly chosen to facilitate anti-competitive behavior.

"Building a moat" frames anti-competitive behavior as a defense rather than an assault on the free market by implying that monopolistic behavior is a survival strategy rather than an attempt to dominate the market and coerce customers rather than compete for them.

Hi,
Thanks for the comment, that is a valid question.
I have updated the article this morning. Thanks again for the feedback - greatly appreciated.
The DMV employee had to sign off on the condition before a sale and I think that's the catch. If the tow employee lied and tried sell it to their family/friend then they could have been caught/fined by the DMV.

The scam works because the two company can quickly collect money from the DMV employee (no need to store the car on the lot for an extended period of time) and I'd guess with a premium they both agree on for all the hardships of the towing.
I've recently started wearing progressives, previously I was constantly putting on and taking off reading glasses (I'm far sighted). My usable field of view is more funnel shaped than hourglass shaped. At the bottom I can barely get both eyes to focus on something up close at the same time, it's only really wide at the top (wear I don't need much correction, just for slight astigmatism). It's better all around than no glasses or keeping my readers on all the time, but it's not as nice as I had hoped.

How does one define an AI powerhouse? If its building models, a smart business wouldn't bank on that alone. There is no moat.

If the definition of an AI Powerhouse is more about the capability to host models and process workloads, Amazon (the other company missing in that list) and Microsoft are definitely them.
Senior is a metric of experience and that takes more than intellectual depth but also breadth which you can’t get that quickly. You need time to work with different people, tempos, stacks, etc. which takes more than a few years to internalize.

Key question in these cases is why dont the consumer members care?

My main hypothesis is that it the values of the members that have shifted, and the Coops have followed that. I can speak mostly to REI, but they carry a array of products and mostly high end products because that is what sells. Most customers aren't value buyers.

A different hypothesis is that many retail margins are already incredibly low, and the relative value of consumer co-ops has eroded. Walmart has a profit margin of ~2%, and a global logistics change. That is hard if not impossible to undercut. REI cant compete on price for equivalent goods even if wanted to, so there is a pivot to premium service & luxury items.

I am a big fan of cooperatives, but it hard to find a niche for them to actually provide consumer value
Interesting. I'm not from the US or Canada, but are Canadians really going to "war" against the US? They're going to lose +400B in trade potentially. No markets are waiting for those products. Just "play ball" with Trump, spend more on border security, block any drugs from entering the country that might start with the letter "f" and be done with that.
I don't believe it. Everything they did and achieved required a huge organization and a lot of influential sponsors.

It should raise even more alarms how thus far every single critic of them even inside their own party was silenced or actually joined them!

I don't believe in threats as explanation on that scale. Many of those people are themselves well connected and influential.

I fear there is something deeper going on, and we will only find out by watching.

I hate this narrative that concentrates on Trump, or even Musk. Neither would be where they are now with a huge amount of active support. Whatever is happening is coming from inside the US. They may also be working together with foreign actors, but they act according to their own interests.
I really hate Verhoeven about what he did to the book.

It does sounds like that the author is not aware of existence of zero knowledge range proofs for identity based authetification (anonymous credentials). In essence they work as follows: a third party vouches a commitment for your birth year into a commitment with a signature. This then can be used for to be shown to a service provider along with a range proof to ensure that the age limit gets respected. That way service provider does not learn your year while can ensure that all members respect some required age limit.

Or maybe the metaphor is flawed?

GP says that public spaces are adult-only by default, the parent rightly points out this is nonsense: public spaces are Safe for Work (and for kids) by default, and you have to prove you're an adult to access the adult-only spaces. Which is exactly what laws like this are trying to do by analogy to the physical world.

It's not OP that's interpreting the metaphor too literally, the public-spaces metaphor is literally the main justification for these laws and GP doesn't understand how public spaces work.
> Economically, he's sincerely trying to keep the US from paying the piper for the trade deficit we've been running for 40 years. He obviously actually believes in this.

But this is not what Trump stated. The fact sheet he published on March 3 (https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/03/fact-sheet-pr...) doesn't mention anything about trade deficits; it says that the problem is cartel violence and fentanyl imports, and that the tariffs will remain only until "Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country".

(This is why, if you're curious, there's no political force that can oppose Trump on policy. Whenever anyone reads a Trump policy and develops an argument for why it's wrong, his lieutenants and supporters pop up to dunk on you for being so deranged as to think Trump was being serious.)

> if you accept the premise that the government is spending money inefficiently, which is a rational thing to think (after all, the government doesn't pass audits which means no one really knows how DoD money is spent at minimum), then it stands to reason that inspector generals were doing a poor job and therefore their removal is a good thing because they were complicit in the inefficiency.

No it does not stand to a reason. Inspector general is not even supposed to deal with efficiency, he is supposed to deal with fraud. Those are two different things.

Second, no, there being a crime does not imply you need to fire all cops. Or cops boss. There would never be any stable enforcement body if you applied that standard.

Third, random decision making creates inefficiency.
Typically the system firmware sets up the PCI address assignments.

An OS can reassign addresses, but the firmware is expected to know things about the memory (and i/o) map in the system. If there's some device hard wired to specific memory or i/o addresses, the firmware (should) know not to give that address to any pci devices, but the OS might not know. Or if the system skipped some address pins, again similar thing.

That doesn't really preclude CSM support, but mapping devices outside of 32-bit space is sometimes tied to CSM and a large BAR probably won't fit in 32-bit space. Neither of theae things really need to be tied to CSM, but I guess the assumption is an OS that can use 64-bit device addresses would have an uefi loader.

This is a great strategic decision, because it puts Suleyman's head squarely on the chopping block. Either Microsoft will build some world dazzling AI whatsit or he'll have to answer, there's no "strategically blame the vendor" option. It also makes the accounting transparent. There's no softbank subsidy, they've got to furnish every dollar.

So hopefully if (when?) this AI stuff turns out to be the colossal boondoggle it seems to be shaping up to be, Microsoft will be able to save face, do a public execution, and the market won't crucify them.

I don’t think it’s entirely a mentality issue. I think North America created an environment where you wouldn’t want your 8 year old to navigate New York City. I would let my kids wander Tokyo before I would let them wander Chicago. Japan would not tolerate people spitting at and harassing children where Chicago does indeed tolerate that. I’d say ask me how I know but you could probably guess.

It does seem though that this legacy-cloud-pocket-innovation combination continues to work without slowing down. It also what was said for Microsoft 15 years ago too (not really much different from IBM..), which is correct from one perspective, but not turning out true from revenue, market cap, growth terms.

My thinking is that Lindy Effect runs strong in a lot of Big Tech, and with deep pockets, they can afford to not be innovators but build moats on existing frameworks.
But why would a different DMV employee not sign off on the sale when they already go to the trouble to remove the wheels and doors and misrepresent cars as missing them?
“The _term goes here_ describes how successful protective measures like vaccines or pasteurization become victims of their own effectiveness. As these interventions eliminate visible threats over time, people forget the dangers they prevent, leading to skepticism about their necessity. This creates cyclical patterns where protective measures are abandoned, threats resurface, urgency is renewed, protection is restored, and eventually skepticism returns once the threat again fades from memory. “

I tried to ask Claude for a term that goes with that description but it used “prevention paradox” which describes something else

I totally agree with the space is hard, it fails sometimes. I been in the space industry on both the super rigorous high cost, high mission assurance side of things and the low cost commercial launch 10 and hopefully most of them work side of things. The lunar lander is an ambitious first project and two failures in a row is real rough, but definitely happens the space industry in new ventures. I'm sure there are great engineers there and what they are doing is tough.

But...specifically on funding for Intuitive Machines I don't understand how NASA also gave then an IDIQ contract for up to $4.8 billion for lunar communications and PNT services [0] based on the experience of one lunar lander that didn't actually work.
