> And more to the point, no activist on earth would state that it's Imperialist to say "your workers need PPE."

I have spoken with a Bangladeshi woman who made this exact argument. Granted, her father owned (what she swore wasn't) a sweatshop, so she wasn't impartial. This is also something you see a lot in Brazil. The westerners want to protect the Amazon rainforest, and the locals want to develop it. It's very common for Brazilians to resent this attitude, because westerners are effectively trying to have input on Brazil's economic development, leveraging their status as purchasers of Brazilian exports.

> There is no cultural stance on keeping your goddamn fingers. Poor as shit workforces scrapping ships are not forgoing protective gear because they simply enjoy the thrill of making sure their toes don't get hit by falling slag.

I've watched probably upwards of thirty hours of footage of factories on the Indian subcontinent and have also observed a similar work culture in Latin America. There absolutely is a cultural problem in both regions not taking occupational health and safety seriously, and it's not just a management issue (though this certainly plays a role, and I'd say is probably a factor if we consider the shipbreaking example). If you've ever worked in construction or manufacturing, it isn't rare at all to find employees who will mock each other for wearing PPE or abiding by safety protocols. This has thankfully been changing as the boomers have aged out, but even among young guys it's not particularly rare, and this is in the west. There was never a widespread adoption of workplace safety in the countries we are talking about. There is often a feeling among both management and employees that it isn't affordable, as well as ignorance on the part of the employees who simply view many of these workplace hazards as inevitable. This sounds absurd to you and I because we know that they are not inevitable and that most can be avoided simply by wearing PPE, but that's because we attended shop class and had various government PSAs reminding us of our rights to refuse unsafe work.

Think of something like our approach to trash: Both India and Latin America have significant problems with public littering. Some will protest that this occurs as a result of poverty, because no one can afford to ship their trash out of the city - but this problem was also common in America up until very recently. It took the implementation of fines and a series of public service announcements to change people's behavior.
It hasn't done that in years.
It doesn't help that the nature of "democracy" is itself endlessly contested. E.g. both supporters and critics of the way Romanian courts have treated Georgescu seem to claim they are "defending democracy".

There are important advantages to a social contract which is simple and unambiguous.

This bit feels like we are being pushed away from the existing API for non-technical reasons?

> When using Chat Completions, the model always retrieves information from the web before responding to your query. To use web_search_preview as a tool that models like gpt-4o and gpt-4o-mini invoke only when necessary, switch to using the Responses API.

Porting over to the new Responses API is non-trivial, and we already have history, RAG and other things an assistant needs already.
I’d suggest more specialization to reflect that some domains have materially different execution models, evolutionary timelines, and product playbooks when done optimally. There is some of this but it feels like there is often a tacit default model that every startup is social media, simple SaaS business, or similar and is biased toward what works in those domains. There are VCs that specialize in less conventional startup domains but the accelerators that teach people how to quickly and effectively execute some of these domains are limited when generic startup advice no longer applies.

If you are doing hardcore data infrastructure software, some kinds of defense tech, et al the startup building process is sufficiently different that first-time founders would benefit immensely from accelerators that really understand from direct experience what those startups need to do to be successful.
Correct, 1 can’t run your whole house, but you can get 1 per room and backup your whole house that way.
Happy Birthday! I'm happy to be a part of this community - it's the only real place nowadays on the Internet outside some financial forums where you can really chat with founders, startups, and see the converge of business and tech!
How does Valve put out one of the worst releases of all time in Artifact and not get dragged through the coals ever for it? The only working strategy Valve has succeeded in running in the last 10 years is making passive income from Steam and that won't last forever.
What will you do if you are arrested by mistake?

Innocent people are arrested all the time. You can't just "obey all the laws" and assume you won't have a run in.

Without the legal protection to get a translator, you are assuming after being arrested you can simply call a translation service. Yet, you should know that most countries and most cops will take your cell phone.

It's a humanitarian principle that before being prosecuted you should at a minimum know why you are being prosecuted.

> I certainly don’t expect them to be provided freely.

I never said they had to (though I think they should). What's more important is that you have access to translation services.

In the BillG era it was pretty common to produce these funny videos for internal events. In case anyone is wondering about the origin of this.
He kept more of his MSFT stock.
If you're used to it, then it doesn't read like a single statement, even though technically it is. You put each call of the chain on its own line and it feels like reading the lines of regular imperative code. Except better because I can be sure that each line strictly only uses the result of the previous line, not two or three lines before so the logic flows nicely linearly.
Possibly stupid question: how does this polar orbit stay over the terminator? And how is the terminator defined for a polar orbit here, since both the north and south poles are on the terminator only at the equinoxes?
So they're going to use generative AI, well-known for frequently being completely wrong, to "ensure accuracy"?

Let's be real, Commodore has no one to blame but themselves for squandering their 5-year lead in hardware and OS. They were carried hard by the passion of their engineers, but irredeemably greedy and soulless at the top. At Microsoft and Apple, engineers were the lifeblood from the very beginning. At Commodore, they were a spreadsheet column.
Curious why this is being downvoted.
Yeah exactly, Python if you need all those features for safety. If portability is more important to you, maybe it’s OK to put up with the weird quirks of bash.

Typescript's type system is unsound so it probably will never be very useful for an optimizing compiler. That was never the point of TS however.

Thats basically 99% of political discourse at this point. Not a lot of laughing these days.
In case someone thinks this stuff is simple and you can go with country codes for VAT: have you heard about countries like AX (Åland Islands, part of Finland)? Do you remember that GB used to be within the EU VAT zone, but now isn't? How about handling XI (Northern Ireland) and the migration of customers from GB to XI? Or (one of my favorites) — do you realize that parts of ES are not within the EU VAT zone (for example, Canary Islands)?

This stuff is crazy. B2B sales are relatively simple, but B2C is a nightmare.
Its not about who is in charge, its about the willingness of current administration to literally circumvent legal process, because nobody is going to stop them.

The next republican candidate can be very unpopular, but if they don't win, they will just declare some bullshit about rigged results, and put in the fake slate of electors like they tried to do in 2020, except this time, they will have almost no obstacles in doing so, and if it doesn't work, they will keep the results forever in limbo while Trump or Vance still has power.

Many people still don't understand this fact - US is finished as a country.
Yeah, this. Free trade (voluntary exchange) is inherently non-zero-sum, because each side gives up what they want less in order to get what they want more. That cannot be zero-sum.
The email was sent under the name of Erica Carr — the acting executive secretary at USAID — and bears a USAID logo.

Typically the industrial security people at contractors aren't so naive as to be fooled by an illegal-sounding request from an unknown source. The road to the company's request to the court goes through additional scrutiny including lawyers.

Please continue giving the administration the benefit of the doubt, just not when it's beyond the shadow of one.
A country as large and complicated as the US requires a lot of shared administrative infrastructure. Also, the US doesn't invest very much in its citizens compared to the rest of the world (20% of GDP compared to 40%). Cutting that reduces the average standard of living, future economic prosperity, impoverishes people, and shrinks the middle class. Anarchy and "rugged individualism" are as utopian fantasies as communism.

I can’t imagine a sillier take.

No one gives a shit what’s on my calendar. They didn’t when I was a manager, director, VP or when I had a C in my title.

The 1:1 is to help you figure out why you’re an average dev and aren’t getting fives. It’s unfortunate you haven’t quite grokked that and instead just spend your time imagining how everyone around you is incompetent and out to do you wrong.
An accountant that will quickly determine the VAT/sales-tax to charge on each transaction presented to the customer? :-)

Accounting is important, but it's not the solution to the OP's problem. There are also questions of costs and efficiency, especially since we are talking about low-margin B2C sales.

It would be interesting to see how APL and other array languages stack up in this kind of analysis. I'm guessing they would do well...
> will be unsafe

That is absolute BS - food is considered unsafe after the food itself spends 4 hours above 40*f, so the website you’re linking to assumes a fridge and everything in it immediately warms to 41+* upon losing power? Physics doesn’t work that way….
it was amazing how good that was. 8-bit guy has some great videos on it.
Yea, I came here to say the same thing. Anders' reasons for not going with C# all seem either dubious or superficial and easily worked around.

First he mentions the no classes thing. It is hard to see how that would matter even for automated porting, because like you said, he could just use static classes, and even do a static using statement on the calling side.

Another one of his reasons was that Go was good at processing complex graphs, but it is hard to imagine how Go would be better at that than C#. What language feature that Go has, but C# does not supports that? I don't think anyone will be able to demonstrate one. This distinction makes sense for Go vs Rust, but not for Go vs C#.

As for the platform / AOT argument, I don't know as much about that, but I thought it was supposed to be possible now. If it isn't, it seems like it would be better for Microsoft to beef that up than to allow a vote of no confidence to be cast like this.

> the only difference is whether or not it's hidden behind function calls you can't see and don't have access to.

You "can't see and don't have access to" `if`, `range`, or `append` but somehow you don't find this a problem at all. I wonder why not?

> You don't really think that functional languages aren't appending things, using temp vars, and using conditional logic behind the scenes, do you?

By this metric all languages that compile down to machine instructions are equivalent. After all, it winds up in the same registers and a bunch of CMP, MOV, JMP, and so on.

`.distinct()` could sort the result and look for consecutive entries, it could build up a set internally, it could use a hashmap, or any one of a million other approaches. It can even probe the size of the array to pick the performance-optimal approach. I don't have to care.

> [".filter(node => !node.isHidden)" is] nothing but a for loop and a conditional by another name and wrapped in an awkward, unwieldy package.

This is honestly an absurd take. I truly have no other words for it. map, filter, and friends are quite literally some of the clearest and most ergonomic abstractions ever devised.
> China tends to think and plan longer term...

Pull the other one, we saw how they went in the 20th century. Large centralised governments have never managed to systemically outplan democracies.

The issue is US culture has been giving priority to anti-industrialists. As a result they aren't the leader of the industrial world. This has been planned for a long time and a bunch of people were celebrating it the entire way along. You try standing up and saying "we should prioritise industry!" anywhere in the west - it is a bruising experience as soon as it gets to the specific policies that are likely to be successful.

Huge chunks of what China did are illegal. Running a successful industrial economy seems to violate a host of western employment & environmental laws as well as many regulations. That isn't bad planning, that was an explicit rejection of the outcomes China achieved.
Depends. Do you actually live in a zero-sum world, or not?

If you live in a zero-sum world, that's an interesting tactic. It might be effective. If you don't, though, then you opened your opponent up to a better way of doing things, while you're still stuck in a less optimal way. That's a losing move.
>Funny in the sense of: are they blind? are they naive? or are they supporters?

> ate a box or two of those, so many that I had painful bellyaches and worse.

Yes. That's what happens with a lot of sweets, and has absolutely nothing to do with "poisons".

Many things aren't good when consumed in massive quantities. All the way to water. Somewhere between 1-4l in an hour, hyponatremia kicks in. Goes all the way to falling into a coma. (Depends on body mass, amongst other things)

> It's scary to think how much knowledge of poisons was in our home with my father's profession, and mother's hobby of murder mysteries.

A simple AP chemistry class will do the same trick. Or just gardening at home. Or probably two seasons of House, M.D.

What's keeping us alive isn't lack of knowledge, but a functioning society where people shy away from murdering for their gain.
I think the most valuable path for the current generation of AI models is integrating them with the configuration and administration side of the product.

For example, as a supplemental user experience that power users in your org can leverage to macro out client configuration and project management tasks in a B2B SaaS ecosystem. Tool use can be very reliable when you have a well constrained set of abstractions, contexts and users to work with.
Yeah, add some farts and pissing on the side walk and you're golden.
You don't seem to understand how land works in the US. Owning land is more like a license to do certain things in a certain place. Part of that is the license and infrastructure that forms a house. Land is part of the house.

Your argument is totally disingenuous and pedantic, you will be sued for fraud if you sell a house to someone and rip out the septic system and the soil underneath the footing and make this argument. In your car analogy, a house without a deed is like a car without a title, you don't own it in any useful sense.
Hey - thanks for the feedback. We were trying to give people a good idea of where we fit in quickly, but I can see where you're coming from!
Correct, this does direct feed-through no conversion losses for pass through because it uses a relay rather than an inverter to connect to the grid.

Each predicate is a separate scope. How is the complexity additive? If you really have to you can simply be just as specific in your predicate naming as you would in a for loop.

I mean ... you could hassle them, ask for their passports, arrest them at gunpoint ... (all things that ICE has done to US citizens within the past week).
Nothing wrong with that. Every other job requires that paid workers meet the requirements of their boss whom themselves must meet the requirements of their customers. Jeff Bezos is responding to his customers' requirements, so should the journalists who work for him.

Journalists who work for these big media platforms can basically bypass the need to compete for attention on the global marketplace of ideas. This has allowed them to spread bad ideas and the scale of the platform means that the repercussions have had a delayed effect which Jeff Bezos is now trying to rectify.

Pila team designed the Powerwall & SPAN microgrid interconnect device (MID) / relay that disconnect the home from the grid. So we could, but we believe the value to be the 0 install cost. Installing an MID can cost anywhere from $2500-15,000 depending on complexity.
This is an interesting idea and I wish you a good luck building a profitable business around it.

Before starting to apply voltage to a home electric gird, I guess you need to disconnect it from the central grid - how do you do that? Or do you detect when the grid goes down and comes back up?
This is a great point. If layering encryption really does introduce new attacks, that suggests encrypting single-layer ciphertext could allow you to perform that layered-ciphertext attack anyways. So I find myself skeptical of chowells' claim here.

Here's Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_encryption

I'm no expert here, but if I understand Wikipedia correctly:

* Be sure to use distinct keys and IVs for each individual layer.

* Be aware that encrypting ciphertext could lead to a known-plaintext attack on the outer cipher, if the inner ciphertext starts in a standard way (file header etc.)
I am cynical but, I am pretty sure the ambiguity was intentional

You're conflating the use of vectors to only mean how they relate to semantic meaning. As vectors are just spatial relationships, in the case of objects in Factorio we could provide the vectors for every single object as to how they relate to every single other object in literal 2D space. This would essentially provide the LLM a complete relationship mapping, since it is not able to do it by "seeing" a picture or by providing it with absolute coordinates.
>We evaluate six frontier language models across both settings: Claude 3.5-Sonnet, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-Mini, Deepseek-v3, Gemini-2-Flash, and Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct.

While I appreciate the effort and creativity that went into this there are a lot of much simpler dynamic benchmarks that can let you saturate the planning capabilities of non-reasoning models.

Something as simple as giving a list of flight connections between cities and then asking for an itinerary between them confuses all these models when the shortest path between two nodes is long enough.
