It will be interesting to compare the UK and EU cases, as well as China. EU responded immediately with counter-tarriffs on goods worth about as much as those taxed by the US. UK and China grumbled but said they don't want to escalate. These are both in different ways similar to the EU case (China because it's big, UK because it's a European "ally", whatever this means nowadays).

The very limited evidence so far, from Canada, seems to suggest that immediate retaliation works better.

True, but they only have like maybe three products that most people care about: Firefox, Thunderbird (maybe), and the MDN.
Generally speaking, hardware found in commercial vehicles is very cheap and therefore constrained - e.g. slow CPUs and slow memory, low amount of memory, limited (flash) storage, and technology is generally lagging behind - you would for example still be able to find higher-end cars that had been produced recently that are unable to stream the content from a smartphone to an infotainment system without using a USB cable. This is a feature we had elsewhere for at least a decade. There are other such examples but when compared to the commodity smartphone hardware, automotive hardware is lagging in many respects.

Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz produce ~2.5M vehicles/year so I guess when you need to scale your production out to such quantities, saving even a few cents per component means a noticeable margin. Competition today is bigger than ever with Chinese companies entering the market, especially for European car makers, so I envision that cutting costs will become even more important than it was before.
Isn't most of the money goes to the browser anyway?
> Return of in-person final rounds? This looks an obvious consequence of these incidents.

Well, even before AI we had qualified people being paid to go to interviews for scammers. Or qualified candidates outsourcing their jobs after being hired. An unfortunate downside of remote work really — you can’t be sure of who’s doing the work if they don’t have to come in (and I say this as someone who’s just about to start working on a fully remote, international team). AI has made fraud massively cheaper though.
Back when we wouldn't mind rewriting stuff in Assembly across machines, to make an application "portable" instead of shipping a Web browser with the application.

This is far too desparate for a 4d chess view of the administration. And, frankly, I don't see the evidence for that. And it remains frustrating to see what is essentially full blown sane washing of the blatantly corrupt approaches being taken.
You're right, I shouldn't have said the throwaway bit, sorry. However, you're ignoring the context of the conversation, which is a $10k piece of hardware. I don't know what you expected to add to the conversation by saying "who cares?" when someone asks for advice, in context or even in isolation.
Once you realize that 70% of the shows are basically “Dad distracts the kids after work so Mom can get dinner ready” or similar, it makes sense. Bandit lays down the law when he needs to, but most of the time he’s just playing.

You’ll notice that he’s much more concerned with how Bluey plays with Bingo than he is with how she plays with him. He’s big, he can take it.

Faceytime is a good example of “kid is naughty and gets in actual trouble”.

No, you're interpreting "speedbump" too literally. Cracking CSS to access DVD content is still illegal in the US, because it serves as an additional step that you do in order to perform the access. That's the meaning I was going for, that it's a nuisance, something that gets in the way.

This is in contrast with my PS1/PS2 example, where a PC disc drive reads the disc as normal, and you access all the content needed from it as normal. The DRM scheme doesn't participate in the interaction whatsoever, it's inert (hence, ineffective).

According to what I've learned from gpt4o and the legal texts anyways (not a lawyer).
Republicans do not care about blue states economies and prosperity. They are happy when liberals suffer and would be happy engineering it. They might care if red states economy goes down, because that harms their election chances.

Red states voted for this, because they wanted other people to suffer and thought it will bring them prosperity. It makes sense to target that part of america.
I may be wrong but I coming to the conclusion that the promise that a piece of software can generate any piece of software you can possibly desire and describe is basically saying that P=NP and the halting problem can be solved by a Turing machine that approaches infinite speed.

This blog article is a combination of "I did a thing I do for a living" plus "recipient of my report does not share my (and the rest of the Security Industry) values", and concludes that Telecom security sucks.

It's very nice that the author spent their free time looking at code, found a bug and reported it -- I don't want to discourage that at all, that's great. But the fact that one maintainer of one piece of software didn't bow and scrape to the author and follow Security Industry Best Practises, is not a strong basis for opining that "Telecom security sucks today" (even if it does)

If someone came to you with a bug in your code, and they didn't claim it was being actively exploited, and they didn't offer a PoC to confirm it could be exploited... why shouldn't you just treat it as a regular bug? Fix it now, and it'll be in the next release. What's that? People can see the changes? Well yes, they can see all the other changes too. Good luck to them finding an exploit, you didn't.

The same thing happens in Linux distros. A security bug gets reported. Sometimes, the upstream author is literally dead, not just intransigent. If you want change on your own timeline, make your own releases.
Rust has three major issues:

- compile times

- compile times

- compile times

Not a problem for small utilities, but once you start pulling dependencies... pain is felt.
I wonder though if there aren't more forces at play. For instance, the business problems some systems try to solve really are so large and complex, you might need some kind of overseeing function in your company.

Also I have a hunch a team dedicated to providing helper "libraries" more than than "frameworks" could provide a lot of value without so much downside. If you can call a library function without it imposing a whole framework on the rest of your codebase, it's more self-contained and can't spill its abstractions all over the place.
If you actually looked at gemma-3 you’ll see that it does support system prompts.

I’ve never seen a case where putting the system prompt in the user prompt would lead to significantly different outcomes though. Would like to see some examples.

(edit: my bad. i stand corrected. it seems the code just prepends the system prompts to the first user prompt.)

Whether there's rhyme or reason for the action is being questioned:

And that's precisely the problem people have been talking about for a decade now. If it was just the browser, maybe it wouldn't have lost 90% of its former market share.
Rust makes explicit what the C standard says you can't ignore but it's up to you and not the compiler. Rust is a simpler and easier language than C in this sense.
Hence why I keep around Java, .NET, nodejs (could be better, but whatever) as much as possible, and yes I would place Erlang on the same group.
And the MacOS API is similar.
Really great work - would I be able to use a self-hosted model as well?
Thee are a lot of open source reasoning models. The true value to local models is privacy and the ability to have the models be uncensored.
also, they require that you have both the interior contents as a pdf and a pdf of the cover, so it will need to either auto-generate or offer the option to have a custom cover art.
Small Models should be train on specific problem in specific language, and should be built one upon another, the way container works. I see a future where a factory or home have local AI server which have many highly specific models, continuously being trained by super large LLM on the web, and are connected via network to all instruments and computer to basically control whole factory. I also see a future where all machinery comes with AI-Readable language for their own functioning. A http like AI protocol for two way communication between machine and an AI. Lots of possibility.
I've looked at using it before with Unity, but I couldn't get past the bottleneck of having to get data to it and then back again. There's an overhead with using e.g. compute shaders as well but not nearly as much.

It also depends on what you want to get away from.

I don't disagree that Rust might technically be a better option for a new project, but it's still a fairly fast moving language with an ecosystem that hasn't completely settled down. Many are increasingly turned off by the fast changing developer environments and ecosystems, and C provides you with a language and libraries that has already been around for decades and aren't likely to change much.

There are also so many programming concepts and ideas in Rust, which are all fine and useful in their own right, but they are a distraction if you don't need them. Some might say that you could just not use them, but they sneak up on you in third party libraries, code snippets, examples and suggestions from others.

Personally I find C a more cosy language, which is great for just enjoying programming for a bit.
I think it's a mature decision, besides, Go is an open source project, calling it "a competitor's language" is a bit derisive. The developers behind Go, Typescript, C#, etc were designing languages well before they were hired by those companies, I don't think they consider their languages a "google" or "microsoft" specific language per se.

That's why I like giving it a real world test. For example take a podcast transcription and ask it to make show notes and summary. With a temperature of 0 different models will tackle the problem in different ways and you can infer if they really understood the transcript. Usually the transcripts that I give it come from about 1 hour of audio of two or more people talking.

It also must be really hard getting something like this (effectively a social network) off the ground with enough users to be useful, especially when there's a geographic component. Have you considered focusing on a specific location first and growing from there?
Contrast this with Australia, where the equivalent body (the Australian Public Service Commission) has for many years actively fought against specialist pay bands for tech workers, despite numerous independent reviews over many years pointing out that this is a problem.

The result of this is that government is full of security practitioners (and other IT professionals) on contracts earning $180+ an hour, with labour hire firms fleecing the taxpayer for exorbitant fees on top of that.

Some security agencies (namely AFP and ASIO) pay reasonably well by government standards because they have their own rules, but the rest of government is bound by the backwards thinkers at the APSC.

Just my personal experience from using the library for at least 7-8 years. So many things and concepts are glued onto each other, making the API so much non-intuitive whenever you try to do anything more sophisticated that isn't a 1:1 match from examples found in the cookbook. It's really a PITA and performance, I have to say this again, is really really bad. If this had been part of my daily job I would certainly try to switch to something else.
They did! They ousted an overtly-corrupt pile of idiots distilled down from a decade of party in-fighting over Brexit and replaced them with a well-meaning pile of idiots. Only time will tell how they do on big picture things.

But I can't vote for someone now. And even if I could, I can't vote for the person you're talking about because none of the constituency candidates talk about data security. And even if there were, would they align with the other things I want? And even if they did, would their party that delivered them a majority in Parliament also think their way or would that be an artefact and lost to party politics?

Telling people to vote better only works if there is a party who is championing the policy, and that they're also not arseholes in other areas.
These tariffs are highly focussed on hurting red states. So in practice that means:

- Alcohol: Are you really buying American Alcohol when you live in EU???

- Harley-Davidson: Do you plan to buy one the next few years?

- Jeans: I'm sure there will be plenty of choice in all price ranges.

Nope; 'compiling to javascript' is a relatively trivial operation, just remove the type information. This is what Babel and nowadays NodeJS itself are doing.

What is more important is that tsc does typechecking, which is a static analysis of sorts to ensure code correctness. But this has nothing to do with runtime performance, that's entirely in JS land and in JS transpilers / optimizers.
The main problem is that AOT C# is not as mature on platforms other than Windows, if that.

Not an entertaining show to a parent, but Wonderoos is another kids show that has had a positive impact on my 2 children. In each episode a wonderoo identifies a choice has to be made, makes the choice that leads to a worse outcome, and then rewinds to make the right choice. While making the choice they always say, "let's chalk it out", and I've heard my kids say this and then state two choices in their own activities. There is also an episode where a lonely wonderoo at the playground decides between trying to make friends with the other kids or just waiting to see what happens. First they wait, and nothing happens, and then they rewind and go introduce themselves and become friends. One day at the park my shy 4 year old asked me to help her introduce herself to another kiddo. Def she got that from the show!

I don't know about how that show is made, but my guess is that it is more like cocomelon, scientifically tested for efficacy, but with the right intentions set by child development experts.

I don't like how it labels open-weight models as open-source--they're black boxes like an executable.

Also curious why they don't include DeepSeek--does it have biases (more than any other) or is that FUD?

Games didn't (not directly), but your workload did. If you ran an NT OS (2000/XP, primarily), the system would gain from being able to run background tasks without needing to preempt your game's logic.

It's impossible to run Windows as an exokernel, so you would inevitably gain some benefit (even if negligible).

what i mean is that their implementation (thinking only on the first response) renders zero benefit because it doesn’t see the code itself. They run multiple function calls to analyze your codebase in increments. If they ran the thinking model on the output of those function calls, then performance would be great but, so far, this is not what they are doing (yet). It also dramatically increases the cost of running the same operation.
And to think I assumed Astronomy was a stagnant field some decades ago. I have no idea why I thought that. Maybe that optical resolution from ground-based telescopes was not going to advance orders of magnitudes? Maybe I didn't think the sciences would continue to get money for space telescopes?
