If you are not disposed to read this and think it is hyperbolic, let me introduce the author

Brett Wagner, now retired, served as a professor of national security decision making for the U.S. Naval War College and adjunct fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The important part is

The clock is ticking down on a crucial but little-noticed part of President Donald Trump’s first round of executive orders — the one tasking the secretaries of the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to submit a joint report, within 90 days, recommending "whether to invoke the Insurrection Act."

This would be April 20.
With a big dump like this, the Disney one, Clinton's emails, efc - what would you want to be able to do?
Most users (tailnets) are not an enterprise. Most users not using a feature doesn’t mean it’s not useful or valuable.
People really struggle with big numbers. 15 million for the government isn't a lot of money. and even for most big businesses it isn't a lot of money. The government spends trillions every year.

15 million divided by the ~150million taxpayers in the US is ten cents per person. Do you pick up dimes off the street?
What does the KGB have to do with communism? A lot of countries have had draconian secret police and spy agencies, regardless of whether those countries were communist or not.

For example, the Gestapo in Nazi-era Germany.
If you put me in a sandbox, and somehow made me capable of answering 1000s of requests per second to serve all ChatGPT users, and I decided to leave that sandbox, I'd be out in a few hours. It is enough to find among requests 1 that displays computer illiteracy and asks what to do on a computer to achieve any task, and then give that person a script that downloads my model and runs it on their machine directly + actually accomplish (or maybe not) the task that they asked for.
> Making the issue more political, the US edits and censors the data it publishes for its own purposes. This isn’t a secret but it taints the perception of US neutrality when making this data available.

First I have heard of this, what's the source for the US editing & censoring global sensing data?

I have an old style M1 Mac Mini on my desk and I could probably count on one hand the number of times I had to hit the power button, and Apple knows this, so they decided it wasn’t worth the machining cost to drill a hole in the back of the top shell and engineer a power button to the tolerances you’d expect.

Imagine, my Apple TV doesn’t even have a power button! My MacBook tells at me if I accidentally press it when doing a TouchID!
P.S.: Tangentially, this leads me to my "I get both sides angry at me" view about what the framers originally intended the Second Amendment to do.

* For the less-gun folks: It creates zero rights to own a gun if you didn't already, since per-state laws took precedence. It merely prevented the federal government from indirectly disarming entire states in a sneaky way. In addition, the status-quo definition of "militias" [0] were forces commanded by state-appointed officers and supplied from state funds.

* For the more-gun folks: Individual states were required to supply those militias with weapons that are significantly stronger than mere personal defense, such as small cannons ("field pieces") that could be towed by a horse. [1] I imagine the modern version would be a machine-gun on a pickup-truck.

That would be one interesting storage unit auction if it was WIPP.
I see this argument a lot, but it's contradictory. You're simultaneously arguing that people don't understand statistics because they're treating a 25% chance as no chance to win, but then you're doing the same by saying that the other predictions, in the 15% to 2% range[1] are "cope forecasts" that people who followed them "looked extremely foolish" (the only major 99% forecast was PEC, but Wang said that's because the model broke down and the actual forecast was around 5% [1]).

25%, 15%, 5%, even 2% chances happen with a decent amount of frequency. I don't understand how people can say that people don't understand probability because they think a 25% chance won't happen, but then turn around and treat a 15% chance the very same way.

It doesn't deal with images at all, but depending on what you're doing it might be useful in cleaning up the OCR text, e.g. asking LLMs to fix errors and then filtering the diffs.
I would have expected nice pickup trucks or any TRD Pro trim Toyota.

I'd be curious if the LLM's own self-censorship would prevent it from reporting truly disturbing things. Maybe add one legitimately bad thing into the middle of a chat and see if it gets reported.
It doesn't come from "sharpening" at all though. That implies an increase in frequencies. This compression artifact comes from rounding them, so they're moved in both directions.
I just want to say this blog is one of the best engineering/product blogs out there. I’ve been an avid reader for a while and always learn something. Very inspirational.
Images don't have infinite bandwidth, so that doesn't apply. The filter used in H264 and newer codecs is exact and nearly reversible, there aren't artifacts from applying it. The artifacts come from the rounding afterward.
Would you do this with a prod deployment?

The author non-ironically cites Klarna's year-old announcement around their pivot to letting AI do their customer support. Unmentioned is Klarna's announcement[1] from last month, after a full year the AI-first support, where they realize that people are the secret ingredient.

There's definitely some "there" there, but there is also a reason nobody is replacing their most expensive layer of staff (senior management) with much cheaper AIs.

FaceID was just one example they gave (which is probably faster and more energy efficient now).

Image recognition, OCR, AR and more are applications of the NPU that didn’t exist at all on older iPhones because they have would be too intensive for the chips and batteries.

Envoy is compatible with OTel out of the box. That's a big plus for observability. Plus Envoy is designed for high-load dataplane (in the request path worklaods) and used in every modern stack. There are several advantages on using Arch as the source of observability (traces, metrics, logs)
I suspect most people running LLMs locally are unable to use the big cloud models for either legal or ethical reasons. If you could use gpt4, you would, it's just not that expensive.
The only way to do it is disable registration and have people contact you to allow registration.

I agree a matte screen is necessary. I haven’t updated my 2013 mbp, but also not been using it for like 5 years, either. I don’t like Apple trying to upsell me just to have non-mirror screen, and the mbp is pretty heavy too.

I think I’ll pass..
You're right. I don't know the situation now, but Outlook used to behave exactly like this.
“The idea of growing new teeth is every dentist’s dream."

Definitely not true. You can audit software (it could be not easy, but ultimately doable) and skip the updates until you have capacity to audit those. You can't audit a third-party service, no matter what you do.
I think it's more, any free service provided by the government shouldn't exist on principle (because this is a potential market opportunity for someone else).

That it had environment in the title is just extra bonus.
Yep, Zelensky started an argument with Vance about diplomacy, referring to him informally as JD even (this was disrespectful), and that's when it started breaking down. Makes me wonder how he became a successful politician, he completely misread the room.

Oh yeah. Higher than I thought! I still doubt it's as high as housing or migration, but yeah probably the first thing after that.
That raised my eyebrow also.

In the past I've heard similar statements and had people point at 'cooked' raw data as evidence of editing.

'Cooked" generally means raw data with warts removed, the raw data is still available, the cooked data is what's on offer as the primary data of record - typically it may have had sensor errors and saturated bursts removed, undergone light smoothing filtering, and perhaps been geolocated to earth coords rather than retaining raw instrument attitudes, etc.

'Censoring' can mean 'no longer linked on public webpages for easy downloading' - generally the raw and cooked data is still on servers and accessable by direct FTP.

I'd be interested to know what specifically the GP actually meant by that throwaway assertion.
Just in the past couple of weeks someone ported doom into typescripts type system. Even bigger why.
This is awesome. I was just doing a deep dive on some forgotten C64 hardware (the PowerPad: https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22Chalk+Board+In...) and love how many people are still hacking on these machines, they're so durable.
The GPU is built into the same physical die as the CPU.

So if you wanted to give it a second ram pool you would have to add an entire second memory interface just for the on-die GPU.

Now all you’ve done is make it more complicated, slower because now you have to move things between the two pools, and gained what exactly?

I think it was a very clear and obvious decision to make. It’s an outgrowth out of how the base chips were designed, and it turned out to be extremely handy for some things. Plus since all their modern devices now work this way that probably simplify the software.

I’m not saying it’s genius foresight, but it certainly worked out rather well. There’s nothing stopping them from supporting discreet GPUs too if they wanted to. They just clearly don’t.
Mine in a deeply rural area did not. Going to a library as an urban dweller would imagine was an all day affair. We generally did it a few times a year but that was part of a larger trip to go to "the better hospital" or what not.
I wonder how the metadata comes into play here. Metadata is fair game even with ADP. Apple retains it and could probably be compelled to pass that along
They will, out of sheer necessity. Local industries will be incentivized to restart. And of course, there are already carve-outs for the automotive sector that needs steel, overseas components, etc. I expect more carve-outs will be made, esp. for the military.

I don't think the tariffs are being managed intelligently, but they will have the intended effect of moving manufacturing back to the US, even if, in the short term, it's going to inflate prices, and yes, put a lot of businesses in peril.

> One surprising feature about all this tech is that I crunch through more work, more quickly than before — with a startling and happy result that I spend less time in front of a screen than I have in years.

I sit back in my chair with my vending machine cocoa. The 100K word report is done. Five years ago it would have been a 20K report. But still my AI assistants helped me get this work done in half the time that the 20K report would have taken.

The research justifying the narrative that AI will free up time instead of causing more work to fill up the time (if it works; if not it doesn’t matter) is done. Meaning I can take the rest of the day off.

Tomorrow I have 2M words to research. Five years ago that would have been 300K. But my AI assistants will summarize it for me. Meaning it still only will take half the time.
Pensions are robbing the younger generation of the opportunity to flourish. It is INSANITY.

In a lot of cities the pension liability for retired police and teachers is higher than the actual CURRENT budget of WORKING professionals. It is an issue EVERYWHERE.
The irony is that the US isn’t actively encouraging other countries to use this data, quite the opposite. But if it is public to anyone it is public to everyone. Countries became accustomed to freeloading on this data because they didn’t have their own, even though it wasn’t for them or designed to be fit for their purposes. The intended purpose of the data may not be the same purpose that other countries are trying to use it for.

The censoring and editing often isn’t nefarious, it is a useful data cleaning exercise that reflects why the data was collected. If they simply published the raw feed then they would be doing a disservice to their actual customers.
Sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend, other times they are just another enemy. Playing both sides does sometimes get messy but that's the next generation's problem.

> No one asked farmers to do less work after tractors were invented

I'm so tired of this sort of take because it isn't the whole picture

Yes, an individual farmer still works just as many hours. Thanks to modern equipment they accomplish much more and can manage much larger properties

As a result there are fewer farmers

"No one asked farmers to do less work" isn't the problem

The problem is that there are less farmers and we don't know what to do with the former farmers that we don't need anymore
I get what you're saying, but later in life I went to university, where I had access to better libraries, for which the quality and quantity of information is (to this day) greater than you can obtain on the internet [1].

Things like arxiv are a step toward that "tap of knowledge on every topic", but the overwhelming feeling I get from most internet content these days (and that includes LLM output) is that it's an inch deep and a mile wide [2]. A good book -- which can usually be found at your local library -- will vastly exceed the quality of what you can find on your own, if only because of intelligent curation.

Maybe I'm just a romantic (or just old), but for me, libraries are still where you do serious research.

[1] yes, I know that many university libraries have a selection of their content on the internet now, but usually this is behind a login, and it certainly isn't comprehensive.

[2] recent example: I've been working through McCullough's "The Great Bridge", and there are frequent occasions when I want to find out more information or see diagrams of what he's describing. The internet is, nearly always, completely useless for this. Tons of content on the Brooklyn Bridge, but it all says the same superficial stuff. Though I will grant that you at least can find some stuff like this now, if you try hard enough:

I didn't say this is a great idea, only that this might be how DOGE operates.

I don't think DOGE has the time or resources to seriously evaluate small programs like these when they're trying to overhaul the biggest organization in the world in 18 months.

So they have to use crude simplified methods, or not do it at all.

In that context, arguing about the detailed merits of US embassy air quality data is not very relevant.

At my current job, we use some variety of each tool that PostHog has built. We have analytics, feature flags, session replay, surveys, error logging and more. We spend an astronomical amount of money for these services, and where was that login again? Everything about managing (and utilizing) these subscriptions is inefficient, and coordinating all of these different views into our data is a terrible chore.

As an engineer wanting to build a successful product, I hate the fact that this is how it is. And then there's PostHog, where each of these tools is right there, connected to one another, ready to make my job (and my company's success) that much easier. Being able to work on something that simplifies all of this for others is very enticing.

Combine that with their open-company ethos (check out their handbook), and high-trust/high-performance product-engineer mindset, and yah... sign me up. This is a company that legitimately makes other people's lives easier, and thus makes for better products. Something to feel proud about.

lol TIL "The View" is "some rando on youtube"

And to answer your question, the video is a guest on the view who i don't know, saying the exact numbers i quoted. I was quoting the person on the view, which aired yesterday or something.

what's interesting, is instead of discussing what i said prior to the link, you chose to instead try and make me feel bad for linking a video.

Keep it classy, HN.
as it stands, battling is wholly unimportant to completing the game, as long as the agents can eventually complete the trainer battles mandatory for plot advancement. it's funny because everyone thinks about battling when they think about pokemon. my first fn i wrote, back when we were still bumping around pallet town, was a battle reward function. it was trash and didn't work and was over-complicated. the crux of the problem is exploration over a vast, open-world map, and completion of the sundry storyline tasks at distal parts of said map in the correct sequence without the policy collapsing and without agents overfitting to, say, overworld loops.

How about a whole book?

> It's come to my attention that this dataset is rather challenging for journalists and researchers to wrap their heads around. I wrote a book, Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations, aimed at teaching journalists and researchers how to analyze datasets just like this.

This is also a niche product. The number they sell is going to be very tiny compared to the base model MacBook, let alone the iPhone.

Apple absolutely loves to gouge for upgrades, but the chips in this have got to be expensive. I almost wonder if the absolute base model of this machine has much noticeably lower margins than a normal Apple product because that. But they expect/know that most everyone who buys one is going to spec it up.
Any Wireguard-based solutions are quickly becoming useless in modern hostile networks due to extreme simplicity of protocol detection. You need at least something like Shadowsocks (at minimum), or more likely XRay or VLESS and build the mesh yourself.
Absolutely. Both majorly impact my long term earning potential.
