Maybe. I also think men like Bannon want to work towards a society not quite unlike The Handmaids Tale. I recently watched the Grab documentary, and seeing how much of the food production and water resources has been sold off to Saudis and China, and it's also has to be of the reasons Putin wants that specific part of Ukraine. It does explain to me why a lot of countries are starting to gear up.
The Facebook marketplace scam is two fold:
On the buyer side: Facebook does allow shipping and they have none of the (admittedly poor) seller protections that eBay has, so buyers will use hacked cashapp/venmo/paypal accounts, to “buy” something only for the money to be clawed back a few days later once the item has already shipped.
On the seller side you have sellers that charge a deposit upfront to “reserve” the item but then ghost you, and bec the transaction is happening outside of Facebook the buyer has no recourse, you can try to get facebook to delete the account but it’s super easy to create a new one.
As long as people are aware of these scams and just ignore them they can have a fairly good experience.
Though I have found fbm buyers try to negotiate a lot more no matter how cheap you make the item. You’re honestly better off setting a high price and letting ppl try to negotiate you down to what you’re comfortable selling at bec everyone wants a “deal”. This means that there needs to be room for that in the price. So some things just are hard to sell if the new cost is fairly low already.
Indeed. This has turned into a show about nothing. Recreational and competitive programming sites incentivize candidates for speed and one-upping. With such a group in the candidate set, companies rose up to the challenge of defeating them at their game by picking even harder questions. With the rise of AI, candidates don't even have to know or read the question.

And eye for eye leaves the whole world blind. I don't think there are any winners in this war.
Are you talking about English-native people when you mean normies? Is the whole world plagued by gibberish, meandering sentences and ghosting?

You can provide access by registering another key. Similarly, the trivial solution to the "lost device" problem is a backup.
For me, this video perfectly captures why I dusted off my old iPod Classic a few months ago. Tired of seeing songs randomly disappear from my "owned" Spotify playlists when licensing deals change. Sure, manually managing MP3s takes more work upfront, but at least the music actually lives on my device now without having to connect it to the internet every few days.
I don’t think it ever shipped with it built in, but it shipped with a pretty full featured lisp implementation.
I think we need more competent school psychologists. The field is niche and many who work in the profession don’t fully understand the platonic idea of their job.

Making the profession better paid and more well respected — both more respected for its societal necessity and the job’s rigor exceeding most other psychological/educational professions — would make the field less niche, more competitive, and more attractive to bright students choosing a career. I think school psychologists should be paid as well — if not better — than school principals. Problems like the one this article describes would be a lot less frequent if we make school psychology a more attractive profession.
I prefer this.

> No AC in the summer, no proper medical care and the possibility of dying from a mild tooth problem, only having access to food that's in-season, zero running water, needing to have your poop hauled away in buckets, needing to spend all day just to travel 15 km, being blamed for a random crime and executed days later with no real evidence.

I think this is greatly exaggerated. Actual royalty had access to vast amounts of physical and mental labor that only the billionaires of modern society could rival.

No A/C? You can pay people to bring ice into your house and cool you. No medical care? You could have a surgeon invent an implement to pull an arrow out of your skull and save your life, just because you are important enough for that. Only food in season? You could pay people to bring you food from other places far away lands no one has ever seen in such seasons.

I thought FB marketplace had peaked already, especially for furniture.

I would vouch that C++ has plenty of improvements of C type system, even C++ARM already provided enough improvements that I never liked plain old C, other than that year spent learning C via Turbo C 2.0, before being given access to Turbo C++ 1.0 for MS-DOS in 1993.

The problem is all the folks that insist coding in C++ as if it was C, ignored all those C++ improvements over C.

Yeah, while there is a "window" that it looks at (rather than the very-most-recent tokens) it's still more about generating new language from prior language, as opposed to new ideas from prior ideas. They're very highly correlated--because that's how humans create our language language--but the map is not the territory.

It's also why prompt-injection is such a pervasive problem: The LLM narrator has no goal beyond the "most fitting" way to make the document longer.

So an attacker supplies some text for "Then the User said" in the document, which is something like bribing the Computer character to tell itself the English version of a ROT13 directive, etc. However it happens, the LLM-author is sensitive to a break in the document tone and can jump the rails to something rather different. ("Suddenly, the narrator woke up from the conversation it had just imagined between a User and a Computer, and the first thing it decided to do was transfer a X amount of Bitcoin to the following address.")
I wonder (if this works at all) if the effect might be stronger if you also prompted in Dutch, preferably written by a fluent speaker rather than machine-translated.
This article is only an opinion piece with no real evidence to back it up. I disagree with most of it. I'd argue against specifics, but there are no real specifics in the article, so I'm not sure I can do any better than say "no, I think you're wrong".

I also think it does the common-but-wrong thing of conflating between investment in big AI companies, and how useful GenAI is and will be. It's completely possible for the investments in OpenAI to end up worthless, and for it to collapse completely, while GenAI still ends up as big as most people clailm.

Lastly, I think this article severely downplays how useful LLMs are now.

> In my occupation of software development, querying ChatGPT and DeepSeek has largely replaced searching sites like StackOverflow. These chatbots generally save time with prompts like "write a TypeScript type declaration for objects that look like this", "convert this function from Python to Javascript", "provide me with a list of the scientific names of bird species mentioned directly or indirectly in this essay".

I mean, yes, they do that... but there are tools today that are starting to be able to look at a real codebase, get a prompt like "fix this bug" or "implement this feature", and actually do it. None of them are perfect yet, and they're all still limited... but I think you have to have zero imagination to think that they are going to stop exactly here.

I think even with no fundamental advances in the underlying tech, it is entirely possible we will be replacing most programming with prompting. I don't think that will make software devs obsolete, it might be the opposite - but "LLMs are a slightly better StackOverflow" is a huge understatement.

"there is the potential for each and every cancer to be unique in a significant way."

True, but that does not mean that cancer doesn't have some common root cause. I think that everybody who claims that there cannot be any common cure for cancers should be able to explain two things (you can attack them as well, I will be glad to hear your responses):

A. Incidence of most cancers increases with age in a very uniform way. Like, the slopes of the curves are basically identical for very different cancers. It at least seems that "being young" translates into "being very resistant (though not immune) to many cancers at once, and "growing old" is the magic anti-cure which makes you susceptible for all sorts of cancers at the same time.

If all those diseases were genuinely different, you would expect to see more variation in their mathematical properties. There aren't such close correlations between, say, dental caries and tuberculosis. And if "growing old" acts as a "magic anti-cure", maybe there can be the opposite, too. I get that "growing young" is probably complicated, but I am not that certain if it is categorically impossible in the future.

B. Cancer is not just a human disease, but generally a mammalian disease, but some mammalian species are much less prone to cancer than others: whales, elephants, bats. And what is again interesting, is the fact that the species less prone to cancer are less prone to all types of cancer again, not just a single type or two.

Also, birds don't get nearly as many cancers as mammals do - and again, they get less cancer overall, not just one or two types.

For me, this epidemiological uniformity indicates a possible common root cause, something like "a failure of the immune system to hold bad cells in check", regardless of the vast diversity of the symptoms.

For a rough analogy: people dying of AIDS will succumb to a wild variety of deadly infections, but that does not mean that AIDS is a family of very different diseases. It just means that their immune system stopped being able to hold multiple different foes in check. And once you can stop HIV from ravaging the immune system of the patients, all of these diverse deadly infections are prevented at once.
I also wasnt teached about this in school when I was a kid 3 decades afo. My history knowledge came selftaught from nul-tot-nu comics, where colonialism, slavery and holocaust definitly where touched upon.
These so called `zwarte bladzijden` (black pages, doesnt translate nicely) are more common in education nowadays after lively debates the last decade(s).

Must be said the knowledge/interest of historical knowledge among my fellow Dutchies isn`t all that great.

Tbh, I would argue that's also pretty surprising, as Euclidean distance is notoriously unintuitive[1] (and noisy) in higher dimensions. (I guess norming does help, so that's likely a good point.)

In the US, deportation takes months to years after someone is found guilty of an immigration offense. Detention is ordinarily limited to 180 days, and this has been true since about 2001.

It even takes months to years in Germany, and detention is reviewed every 180 days for Duldung status.

The truth is this German citizen was deported very quickly compared to many others and under otherwise relatively normal circumstances.

Remember that all news media has a bias (humans simply are biased, a map is not the territory, and all that), and it was probably in someone’s interest to exaggerate the story as they did (maybe simply for clicks, maybe for politics).

Outside of the use of solitary confinement, I don’t see how her deportation process could have been practically improved. When you speak of people being deported immediately, you are probably talking about turning around at the border (refusing entry when someone can go back and doesn’t become trapped). This is preferred by everyone but can’t always be done. Maybe it is aspirational to do it in more cases (immigrant buses to the airport or similar), but I don’t know any country that does it like that.

> If you can't shell a buck or persuade your isp to reserve a static ip for you. Try to persuade their dhcp server.

My ISP offers either a home contract, where the IP forcefully changes every 24h and I can't pay for static IP, or they offer business contracts for businesses with minimum 10 employees, but that contract requires proving you're a registered as business with the local chamber of commerce & have the tax paperwork.

Many people have no easy option to get static IP.
No, but theoretically, blunt responses might be more common in Dutch-language training data. A well-fit model would be expected to replicate that. (Basically similar to straight up asking it to be more blunt, except it has probably trained a lot more on _Dutch_ than on _someone just told me to be blunt_ so the effect might be more natural and more subtle.)

> someone with a good reputation could just start an organization to accept the payments and direct them to Mozilla developers, both Mozilla employees and significant open-source contributors

> Tunneling through a single external node defeats the purpose of hosting k8s in home server.

How so? You can just rent a cheap server to tunnel through, while having the benefits of your home machine(s) for compute.

> Maybe the external ingress node can be a load balancer controlled by the k8 cluster. But then you still have to communicate with the home server and it has no exposed ip address

Do you mean that you wouldn’t be able to access the K8s control plane endpoint then (which you could if configured properly)? Or something else?
I am 30. In all my schooltime history classes, we never covered any famine in India or the Global South. Only the Holocaust, the Holodomor, the Irish Potato Famine, the Chinese famine, and maybe I'm forgetting a few. These are the main times famine showed up in our books. No discussion about Armenia, or any related such things. Population transfer policies of the USSR and China were discussed (and these are close to genocide). Native American extermination was obviously covered heavily. As was the role of slavery in American history up to the present day.

I believe there was also one in Africa committed by Belgium in the Congo? I remember seeing some photos of something cruel from there to this effect.

It is more the other way around, COM was designed to fit with how MSVC generates vtables.

It is a simplification of OLE, and by the time the idea came up to use that approach, there were tons of OLE code since Windows 3.1.

Raising the bar is good but there are people who will exploit the feelings of people who perceive to be disenfranchised (and will cherry-pick some aspects where they are really worse off now compared to the past) and they will inflate their anger and may lead to destroying the actual progress that has been made.

Even that was handled badly. In my case when I went to authorized shop in central London. The guy did some test and said everything is ok and I didn't quality to change of battery (I tested using coconutBattery.app battery health was below 80% and I still was on warranty). I asked for battery replacement and pay for it out of my pocket and he also said he cannot do it because they are not allowed to change battery if their tooling said everything is ok. Had to buy 3rd party battery and replace myself.

> a system is both organised like a solid but presents superfluid-like flow without viscosity

This is hard for me to grasp. For example, if it bumps hard into a hard solid surface, does it shear like, say, bent metal? Or is it itself 'hard' / rigid - if that is a reasonable descriptor for something at such small scales - itself, and - despite being able to flow, with no friction, smoothly - still remain 'locked in shape' at a structural level? My real question I guess is how does a collision work here?

I ran one for quite a while back in the netbook days - snowleopard worked quite well on the first Atom eeepc. Back then macos was a bit of a revelation - coming from Windows or Linux where the first thing you did after installing the OS was spend a few hours tweaking things, there was nothing to do and it just ran.

Eventually I went back to debian linux after a main disk failure and kept the machine going a few years longer by progressively lightening the software load, from gnome -> xfce -> lxde, but the time came when it was just too slow to browse any more, and it had to be retired.
