And the Russians had to get re-enforcement from North Korea to bolster the bodies they’re losing to a significantly smaller force.

Western military tactics are still working well against Russian commanders, but they being simply larger population wise, can if they’re willing, win a war of attrition simply because the Ukraine doesn’t have the bodies or internal resources to fight forever. It’s the same strategy general Grant used to decisively win the US civil war

Putin really waited out the US election. For reasons I can’t seem to grok Trump wants to ally with the world’s dictators. He’s proven himself a reliable ally to Putin at this point.

Had Trump lost the election I imagine we would see Russia seriously considering or even starting its withdrawal from the conflict.

Back to the military bit again: there is no way the war in the Ukraine is showing anything other than how vulnerable and poorly aged the equipment of the Russian military is and how their tactics have not improved much if any since the 1980s
If anyone is wondering why it looks like Bolt, it’s because it’s using Bolt.DIY, an open-source fork of Bolt (https://github.com/stackblitz-labs/bolt.diy).

> one of the worst misconceptions in product design is that a microwave needs to have a button for every thing you could possibly cook

"Worst" is a stretch. Not to mention these often actually do more than just power and time. For example detecting humidity and/or varying power over time.

> You can just have a time (and power) button. People will figure out how to cook stuff.

You could, but people don't always want to figure it out, especially when they are hungry.

This would have been a better article if the takeaway wasn't basically "people are smart, make them learn the underlying structure".

I think good design is recognizing when and how to either expose the structure or paper over it, all while making it pleasant to interact with for all users at either end of the spectrum of willingness to learn it.

For a bike, it pays off to learn. For other things maybe not so much. Combining these two very different cases and then making a blanket statement that "Good designs expose systematic structure" doesn't land well.

The problem(s) with Russia (as exactly like in China) is the following:

1) a company like Kaspersky can easily be employing 1-5-10-50 KGB/FSB agents, even without them knowing about the existence of the other agents (so they rat on each other)
2) a company like Kaspersky can be arm-twisted and/or knee-capped to knowingly employ 1-5-10-50 employees (similar to US three letter agencies operating in US companies)(room 641A)(NOBUS MS Exchange hole that was there for 20 years, etc)
3) I remember as a sysadmin using McAfee ePO 20+ years ago to "check things and do stuff" on employees' PCs when my Microsoft SMS was not working

Completely agree that dropping the tariffs on Chinese EVs instead would be the sensible move.

We have a technology that would be a key part of switching to clean energy, and should be doing everything possible to embrace it, but the political class has turned it into a football for their culture war game instead.

You touched on many points, but one thing to consider: people seek out information that confirms their worldview and actively protect themselves against anything that can harm their feelings for their idols.

John Doe isn’t trained in logic and can adjust any of his premises if it means he can continue to admire his favorite celebrity. It’s a combination of flawed reasoning and premise flexibility.

Not to mention, any fact can be endlessly challenged and questioned even if it’s agreed upon and largely incontestable.
It is first in the context of the two goals being mentioned, in the context of discussing software quality.

You've gone ahead and made it the first goal in the context of all goals a company has (thus making it 'primary').

Accelerated rate with equivalent integrity probably requires some engineering tricks nature hasn't "figured out" yet. Given nature has had a few billion years of massively parallel processing of the original genetic algorithm, it's unlikely. Especially considering ASI is a pipe dream. Also, sea creatures use buoyancy to their advantage.

Maybe we will find other structure development systems from combining existing pieces of biologic systems. But that's also unlikely, because biologic systems are so incredibly entangled (to use a software concurrency/complexity term).

That said, it is an awesome research direction, just for the novel construction techniques potential.

But yes I do partially agree that it probably wouldn't help much, since it's more about the thieves not wanting to mess with a company with funding and a legal department behind it vs. some random bloke who they can rob with impunity. Private bike security firms might be an answer to the issue, you pay a monthly subscription, they put their own trackers on your bike, employ licensed people who retrieve stolen ones at gunpoint and guarantee protection up to some total cost. Probably not cost effective though I guess, given that the police themselves have given up.

Perhaps. More broadly, reduced constraints. Written differently, being able to choose the layer at which you solve the problem.

An example of this is that in robotics, the ability to properly insert a piston into an engine block without damage to the piston or block was an unsolved problem for some time in robotics. Doing so using machine vision and robotics control theory required engineering constraints that resulted in a too slow and expensive a mechanism for mechanized assembly lines.

Because of the total control of the assembly line, this problem was solved in the physical space through a reactive physical assembly using two connected planes (I'm sorry but I'm having a hell of a time tracking down a reference) rather than in software.
Yes, but that just effectively recreates the pretraining. You're going to have to explain everything down to what an atom is, and essentially all human knowledge if you want to have any ability to consider abstract solutions that call on lessons from foreign domains.

Yes, fair points. In talking to controllers, this has already come up. There are a few systems that do advisory alerting and controllers have expressed some frustration because each alert triggers a bunch of paperwork and they are not 100% relevant.

There are lots of small steps on this ladder.

The first is post-operational. You trigger an alert async and someone reviews it after the fact. Tools like this help bring awareness to hot spots or patterns of error that can be applied later in real time by the human controller.

A step up from that is real-time alerting, but not to the main station controller. There's always a manager in the tower that's looking over everyone's shoulder and triaging anything that comes up. That person is not as focused on any single area as the main controllers. There's precedence for tools surfacing alerts to the manager, and then they decide whether it's worth stepping in. This will probably be where our product sits for a while.

The bar to get in front of an active station controller is extremely high. But it's also not necessary for a safety net product like this to be helpful in real time.
> Musk made the call for Derek Chauvin's release from prison Tuesday on his X social media platform while re-posting a rant from conservative pundit Ben Shapiro.

I listen to a fair amount of center-right/old-school conservative podcasters, some of whom are Jewish (I do not listen to Shapiro with any regularity because I would consider him more of a provocateur than pundit), and I keep wondering if they will ever get squeamish about ascendant American fascism. While they may be focusing their ire at immigrants and muslims now, it seems like they always come back to Jews at some point. I suspect they should take Musk's Nazi salute more seriously.
I believe that the mineral deal had a security guarantee from the U.S. "at some future date" like the "infrastructure plan" still on hold for 8 years, meaning empty.

Look at your situation from a different perspective: the Baltics have ~3 times the population of Gaza, and at the very least something resembling air defenses. Gaza was bombed into rubble but the governing body still exists. Or you have roughly the same population as Lebanon, where Hezbollah completely stymied the IDF ground offensive (they wanted to force Hezbollah north of the Litani) even after paralyzing Hezbollah C2 with the pager attack.

Why are the Baltics not fortified as well as Gaza? Why haven't you spent the past 3 years mining the ever-living fuck out of your border with Russia? Why can't 7 million Baltic citizens hold your territory for 72 hours, when 7 million Lebanese are able to bog down the heavily-mechanized IDF for weeks? Now I will admit that terrain is a HUGE factor, but the seeming total unpreparedness of Europeans to invest in the defense of their own homeland communicates a ton to me....none of it positive.

Graphine OS runs in the Normal Zone on an ARM SoC while running Trusty OS in the TEE. In order for an App, or Graphine OS to interact with certain hardware it must use the Trusty Lib and Trusty Driver APIs into the TEE. The entire composition and operation of the Trusty OS operates in the "Trust me bro" space and Google's entire business model is built around spying on users.

So forgive me if I'm a little skeptical that Graphine OS.

Claude Code works similarly to Aider in that they both run in the terminal and write code using LLMs, but it shares no code with Aider as far as I know. Aider is written in Python and Claude Code in Javascript, among other reasons to think that it is not derived from Aider.

The tools also work very differently when you're actually using them, with Claude Code doing more of an agent loop and having very different methods of putting together the context to pass to the model.
