Another good approach can be to start by prototyping something in MATLAB, numpy/scipy, or Julia, and then consult their docs when whatever you're doing is falling short in some way. All of these computing environments have extensive references. Look up the function you're using in their docs and you'll find links to papers and books with more context. Being able to "help yourself" in numerical methods basically requires that you're comfortable in the literature. This assumes that you have a very sophisticated and precise need which is not satisfied by what existing libraries offer.

If you have some quick one-off need, copying something from Numerical Recipes is a bad idea. Bugs in numerical methods can be very subtle and difficult to diagnose in a way that normal discrete algorithms aren't. If you've never heard of the asymptotic order of convergence of a numerical algorithm, how are you possibly going to detect that you have a bug there, let alone fix it? In my experience, most people who have one-off needs don't have the requisite background in numerical analysis to get themselves out of trouble when things go wrong. A better approach is to just use a library. There are lots of options for simple stuff.

If you do have a sophisticated need, you will outgrow what Numerical Recipes offers very quickly. There are some good books in the list you linked, but that list is also very outdated. Notably absent: any of Trefethen's books (ATAP in particular), Nocedal and Wright's "Numerical Optimization", Stoer & Bulirsch, anything about convex optimization, anything about the finite element method, anything about geometry or CAD, anything about Monte Carlo, anything about special functions, and on and on...
Can you just link the video at the very top and indicate in the first paragraph that you were directly inspired by the video? It's only fair.
The dialogs and the interaction between characters are also driving the story in a natural way. It’s like those screwball comedies from the 30s (His Girl Friday etc). Pratchett had a good ear for how people talk, and he managed to put it on page.

There are no lengthy stilted lectures (characters explaining stuff to other characters) as in some other books by other authors, and only few (and usually short) descriptions of what happens when and then this and then that and then something else.
Crypto czar David Sacks was in favor of the Silicon Valley Bank bailout but spoke against SBF in 2022, when SBF was believed to be a Democrat.

Otherwise there would be a good chance of making gambling with customer money legal (which is what the Silicon Valley Bank did) and SBF could co-chair the Sovereign Bitcoin Reserve together with DPR.
Where? Even thick ones are super expensive here. Over $250 a lens. I'd gladly pay $75 more for a significantly thinner lens. Point me in the right direction please.
> Presumably they have the best qualifications to be on those teams.

What exactly are "best qualifications?" More simply are you assuming that myself and Google share a definition of "best qualified?" I genuinely don't believe that we do.

> And then who would replace them?

People working for a different company. Is your case that without Google no one would make web browsers?
I’m in the same boat but for Kagi it’s a little different : I don’t pay them because they are privacy friendly (or at least that’s another reason) but because the search quality is better than everything else, including Google.

However fwiw, Startpage is nice.

> for instance, if you want to `append` to a shared list, you need to deserialize the list, append to the end of it in your application code, and write it back to the DB.

this seems like a classic case of impedance mismatch, trying to implement a Redis-ism using an RDBMS.

for a shared list in a relational database, you could implement it like you've said, using an array type or a jsonb column or whatever, and simulate how it works in Redis.

but to implement a "shared list" in a way that meshes well with the relational model...you could just have a table, and insert a row into the table. there's no need for a read-modify-write cycle like you've described.

or, if you really need it to be a column in an existing table for whatever reason, it's still possible to push the modification to the database without the heavy overhead. for example [0]:

It’s a nice idea, and I would love to be able to use it for my own company reports (spotting my obvious errors before sending them to my bosses boss)

But the first thing I noticed was the two approaches highlighted - one a small scale approach that does not publish first but approaches the authors privately - and the other publishes first, does not have human review and has its own cryptocurrency

I don’t think anything quite speaks more about the current state of the world and the choices in our political space
Unfortunately, the Bluesky Discover feed is utterly garbage, seemingly insistent on pushing political content, especially of the resistlib variety, no matter how many times I give "not interested" feedback. It's essentially the mirror version of the twitter For You algorithm; less overtly heinous but still a deeply unhealthy engagement trap. You definitely have to use custom feeds and the other features, but the most prominent and easiest point of entry for new users is a drip feed of ragebait.
I haven't met too many people who share this condition. Nice to meet you.
MS and Apple aren't companies who sell ads. MS and Apple are companies who sell tech products. Everyone analogizing the current situation with Google to Microsoft in 1999 is missing the core of the facts here. The Apple/Epic Games antitrust suits are much more similar to MS in 1999, but Google's antitrust issues are very different.

Google's product isn't its software, it's the attention of its users. Having this large and this dominant of a software/data platform attached to a company that sells attention is anti-competitive in the attention market.
i never understood why they backed him though?
>Intellectual property is not property

Look up the definition of "property". You'll find that it says nothing about it needing to be tangible. It literally just means "something that can be owned".
Who knows if they'd actually sell it for billions or not, but it's a problem that solves itself. If it's ever worth billions that could only mean that it's attracted the eternal September away from Twitter/Reddit/etc. in which case it won't be worth using anymore. Anyone discerning will have moved on to the next Bluesky that's too small to be of interest to billionaires.
We would return to normalcy. That makes some people angry.
I collected all my URLs I visited and organized them into a few groups: daily, weekly, monthly. Then sent that to a LLM requesting creation of files for generating bookmark tabs for my browser. After import, I have a well organized personal data feed to cycle thru in an efficient manner. I review daily material once; weekly periodically. This helps me limit excessive scrolling.
There's a bit of a mental difference between being able to (literally) endlessly swipe up to the next tiktok vs having to click the next button on hn though.
Think about difference between Brave and Chrome. Both Chromium browsers but Brave is much less intrusive and exploitative of user data. More Brave and less Chrome would allow average user greater privacy and less reliance on large corporations perhaps

Ukraine did have Soviet-era nuclear weapons at the time of their independence, which they let go of in exchange of US, UK and Russia security guarantees in 1994. It is amazing to me how this fact is being memoryholed.
Yes and this is one part I feel I still dont do enough.
The phone (and associated deep storage) allow pics of all kinds of documents and pics to replace physical mementos. But we are still used to the idea of items that are somehow significant - which represent a trip or a day. And now we have space for more unscripted stuff. Someone was pointing out that there is no documentation of all their time spent in games. But there could be. There is now plenty enough space to retain some images, screenshots, videos. what's not here yet is some automation in us creating these records.

"Have control".

These commands let you do what a ROM bootloader does as well. They just do so over an unexpected vector (HCI interface), which could be a problem if you exposed it outside while not exposing the bootloader.

Are you actually trying to come up with a plausible case, or are just guessing without knowing what this "backdoor" is about?

Just for the record, the researches themselves described these command in their talk's abstract in this way:

> The tools will be complemented by the use of undocumented manufacturer commands on ESP32 devices that allow to increase the versatility of these devices when implementing attacks or conducting audits.

Source: https://reg.rootedcon.com/cfp/schedule/talk/5

The same could have been achieved by implementing an open-source replacement for the blob, by the way (just like it's already happening with ESP32's Wi-Fi peripheral: https://esp32-open-mac.be/).
Why do the browsers not fix this?

It would be like, five minutes to write a text preprocessor in JS to solve this problem,
> Are subjective. People's responses will be relative to what they're used to and what possibilities they see for their lives.

People report how well they experience their lives as going. Not perfect, people can be mistaken and you might now better than them how happy they really/objectively are I suppose. But then again, do you have any better empirical evidence in support of what you proposed? If not how confident can you really be about it?

> These studies give no evidence at all that you could not have people whose subjective satisfaction and happiness was just as high, or higher, in a country with a minimal government along the lines I've described.

They don't prove that it is impossible, true, but if your proposed setup really was so much better wouldn't gradual steps towards it also be somewhat better in ways that made people report greater life satisfaction and happiness? And wouldn't then that show up in the ranking so that the top scoring countries would be those that come closest to (or least far from) your ideal? But that's not what we're seeing, the top scorers have the most extensive welfare states. That's some evidence against your claim.

> They also give no evidence that such a country could not do as well or better in objective terms.

What's "objective terms"? Do you mean longevity? Health outcomes? The top scoring countries in terms of happiness score very high there too.

Note also that you claimed that all systems going further than what you suggested would have "eternal conflict", which sounds really serious and awful and thus would realistically affect how people report how well their lives are going. Isn't the report evidence against that claim of yours?
I think it’s a little weird to say he made 10’s of thousands from a game and in curious if it will last. Is the game good? I logged into the game and just thought to myself, holy billboards Batman!

He made 10’s of thousands from advertising right? It feels like most of what the does the lesson is if you follow the steps I take you can be an entrepreneur too which is mostly true, with the game it feels like, if you develop a following of millions and then create something that leaps to the front of the hype train people may give you money for a while. Which doesn’t feel like what most people are hoping from “vibe coding a game can make you 60k/month.”

But no shade to him.
The last thing I saw him working on was AI generated people/avatars.

Yeah he was/is a big name for digital nomad, I used to quote his figured like $70K/mo I bet it's more now.

There's a significant number of posts in this larger thread saying that it is basically just the benefits of exercise that is providing the positive health outcome and not just having the muscle, and I interpreted intervention in a broader manner based on that context.

My point is simply that muscle in and of itself has positive benefits, even if you didn't need to do another healthy activity to maintain or gain it.
This seems like a very good thing. It’s therapy and reintegration.

> In the seven-day intensive VR program, participants experience scenes from daily life, as well as some more adventurous ones such as traveling to Paris or paragliding, for four hours each day. Facilitators ask them to process emotions that come from these scenes through various art exercises involving theater tactics, poetry, painting, etc.

More generally, if you believe in prison for public safety and not retribution, for people who need to be in solitary for others’ safety, what’s the alternative? Deterrence is also important but can be achieved in other ways.

There is no good alternative right now. Even eu-based ones use google's or bing's search indexes, essentially being a different frontend for google and bing, so imo it does not make much difference. Kagi sort of does sth similar, but much better imo, which is also why I use them.

There is a common initiative by ecosia and qwant to build their own index [0], which is hopeful though, and something to look forward to.

Do that.

Also: set up a widget on your home screen that shows a bunch of random old photos. You won’t “find them”, you want them to find you. There will be misses but the hits will be worth it. Apple’s is decent (disclaimer: I made it). I like even more randomness as well so a complete shuffle is fun.
On most modern micro-controllers you can disable JTAG/SWD in production or gate access behind key verification. You can't disable undocumented commands. The issue here might be allowing persistent malware, like how some malware can hide in hard drive firmware. Unlikely, but still not good or indicative of good security practice.
You don’t understand Trump’s transactional instinct.

If this guy offered to pay him $5B at some point, maybe he will have a better offer later? It’s best to pardon him and see what he comes up with. As long as he’s motivated by “how can I pay more money to DJT,” it doesn’t matter who else he tried to bribe.
> - OpenZiti does not require inbound ports or hole punching, it builds outbound only connections via an overlay which looks sort of similar to DERP (but better with app specific encryption, routing, flow control, smart routing etc). This overlay also removes need for complex FW rules, ACLs, public DNS, L4 loadbalancers, etc.

The routers that you deploy to make up the overlay still need inbound ports though, right? I thought that's what 10080 was doing.

"However, we miscalculated the reference dose for a 60 kg adult, initially estimating it at 42,000 ng/day instead of the correct value of 420,000 ng/day. As a result, we revised our statement from 'the calculated daily intake would approach the U.S. BDE-209 reference dose' to 'the calculated daily intake remains an order of magnitude lower than the U.S. BDE-209 reference dose.'"

Seems innocent enough, and those are the kinds of silly mistakes we do, whether in industry or somewhere else.

Traction – such a useful term. What is the "traction" of LLMs in programming? When the rubber hits the road, what happens? Do the wheel spin in place, or does the car move forward?

The nice thing about traction is that you can see it. When you shovel away the snow in your driveway you can move your car; that's nice. When you update your hot water kettle and it boils in 30 seconds, that's traction. Traction is a freshly installed dishwasher in your kitchen.

I sincerely ask – not because I am skeptical but because I am curious – where is the traction with LLMs in software?

One of the interesting things about LLM coding assistants is that the quality of the answer is significantly influenced by the communication skill of the programmer.

Some of the juniors I mentor cannot formulate their questions clearly and as a result, get a poor answer. They don’t understand that an LLM will answer the question you ask, which might not be the global best solution, it’s just answering your question - and if you ask the question poorly (or worse - the wrong question) you’re going to get bad results.

I have seen significant jumps in senior programmers capabilities, in some cases 20x, and when I see a junior or intermediate complaining about how useless LLM coding assistants are it always makes me very suspicious about the person, in that I think the problem is almost certainly their poor communication skills causing them to ask the wrong things.

Tech companies or big tech conventionally usually mean software companies.

Actions on Chinese EV cars are either being seriously considered or already in effect in most major car markets.

All phones have been always more or less Chinese made forever including Apple, even Chinese badging is how it been for low/mid range for 10 years now, maybe Samsung does some local manufacturing in SK but no one else major does.

Budget phones or budget EVs with razor thin margins is not big tech and no DoJ action to break up Google is going to affect the way they are becoming Chinese or already are .

There is reason TikTok is the most valuable Chinese company and not a phone company, big tech have big margins and strong market effect on their own and not as a group (I.e. it would be hard to beat Chinese companies in a space , but no individual one (say byd) is irreplaceable by another Chinese company

Given the measurable shift away from consumer protection and prosecution of corporate greed as well as the micromanagement of the DOJ, I think the answer is "in that hypothetical situation, what would SBF have to offer the White House?"
