The original post was arguing that there were too many Irish people in Ireland because of the predominant religion. The implication, as I surmise, is that Catholics believe that only those who are constantly reproducing can be real BFFs with Jesus in the afterlife. Also, Catholics are seemingly too stupid to realize that Ireland is incapable of supporting more than 5-6 million people (apparently?) and therefore their mortal sex-cult doomed them and they have absolutely nobody to blame but themselves for a million people dying of starvation. The fools!

This is, at best, very fucking stupid. At worst, it is fairly bigoted and more than a little bit offensive. It is in the same category of Victorian pseudo-science that gave us phrenology and eugenics.

"[Citation needed]" was merely meant as a shorter and much more polite way of implying all of the above. I can be much less polite if that's something you're interested in.
I mean, you are going to see an exodus of tech workers regardless as US economy withers up and other countries (probably in EU) pick up the slack.

China won't even have to have high salaries, all they would need to do is basically set up immigrant neighborhoods that have all the familiar things that US people like, and through the nature of just being around people of similar status, whatever the salary everyone gets paid gets normalized - there isn't anything you would be able to buy to "flex" on your peers, and everyone would be in the same boat.
Nope! I’m not going to claim it was great before, but Britain was actively regressing as the Whigs took control and followed the ideas of Malthus and Bentham. The Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 (new poor law) was specifically design to check on and significantly downgrade the body of old poor law.

> the question is whether or not this blows up in China’s face

Japan didn't "blow up" due to picking wrong. The US and allies negotiated the value of the yen up (the plaza accords) when the trade imbalance started to rack up against the US. This popped japan's bubble, which ultimately caused their lost decade.

China, on the other hand, would be unlikely to sign any sort of similar treaty with the US. Their property bubble collapsed, but i dont think to the same extend as the japanese one. Not to mention that it was triggered by gov't, so it popped earlier than japan's one in the lifecycle - therefore, it must be the case that it's less bad.

> I’ll take all my ribs being broken + being alive for even a week vs being dead and no broken ribs any day of the week.

If you'd ever spent time around a nursing home, you probably wouldn't say that. Quality of life matters, a lot. Not saying I have a DNR, but these are serious conversations to have before it's too late. I think what's really telling is how doctors and nurses treat themselves. They are almost never seeking maximum days alive no matter the physical and mental cost.
That’s where the confusion is; it’s not a negative reaction. It’s an intense emotional reaction, sure, but not inherently negative or bad.
I was fortunate to get early access to the new Agent SDK and APIs that OpenAI dropped today and made an open source project to show some of the capabilities [1]. If you are using any of the other agent frameworks like LangGraph/LangChain, AutoGen, Crew, etc I definitely suggest giving this agent SDK a spin.

To ease into it, I added the entire SDK with examples and full documentation as a single text file in my repo [2] so you can quickly get up to speed be adding it to a prompt and just asking about it or getting some quick start code to play around with.

The code in my repo is very modular so you can try implementing any module using one of the other frameworks to do a head-to-head.

Here’s a blog post with some more thoughts on this SDK [3] and some if its major capabilities.

I’m liking it. A lot!

I don’t know where the 800W is coming from. It is quite common to have 16A breakers on a circuit. That is 3,8kW. My regular apartment has 3x20A breakers and for example my induction hob is 7,2kW two phase.
I find it absolutely insane that the industry standard for SIP trunks is unencrypted UDP, usually using IP-based authentication.

When I asked a popular VoIP carrier about this a while back, they argued that unencrypted connections were fine because the PSTN doesn't offer any encryption and they didn't want to give their customers a false sense of security. While technically true, this doesn't mean we shouldn't at least try to implement basic security where we can - especially for traffic sent over the public Internet.
"Finish"?
Just tried it on our codebase. Getting over a thousand errors, a good portion of which seem to be:

../../../tmp/typescript-go/built/local/lib.dom.d.ts:27982:6 - error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'KeyType'.
27982 type KeyType = "private" | "public" | "secret";
~~~~~~~

../../../tmp/typescript-go/built/local/lib.webworker.d.ts:9370:6 - 'KeyType' was also declared here.
9370 type KeyType = "private" | "public" | "secret";
~~~~~~~

Probably an easy fix.

Running it in another portion results in SIGSEGV with a bad/nil pointer defererence, which puts me in the camp of people questioning the choice of Go.
I've had a few conversations with [security nerds more familiar with telecom] since SignalWire broke embargo.

The "everything sucks and there's no motive to fix it" was a synopsis because, frankly, those conversations get really hard to follow if you don't know the jargon. And I didn't feel like trying to explain it poorly (since I don't understand the space that well, myself), so I left it at what I wrote.

I personally think they're underhyped.

All the skeptics make the same arguments such as hallucinations. Meanwhile, LLMs and agents are making me more and more productive every day.

I think all the skeptics are missing the forest for the trees. LLMs and agents don't have to be perfect to be transformative. They're already super useful and just need to be scaled up with more compute capacity, better UX, and better integrated with proprietary data.

This is an incredible milestone! And not just for the patient, but for the future of heart failure treatment. The fact that someone was able to walk out of the hospital and live with a fully artificial heart for over 100 days is mind-blowing. Still a long way to go before these could replace transplants entirely, but the progress is undeniable
The 800 watt is a safeguard.

If you add the battery to a 16A circuit then you can theoretically draw 3,8kW + 800watt on it with the battery.

With this Pila battery you could put 3,8kW + 2,4kW on the same circuit!

If you want more than 800watt you can't use a regular plug in your house, it has to be a dedicated circuit.

Hey, I just wanted to congratulate you with a very impressive release, the software looks amazing, and I think I will give it a try pretty soon. A question: I see only subscription pricing; is a lifetime licence possible, or a licence like the way jetbrains does it (you pay for version, and maintain the right to keep using the version that was available when the license/subscrition expires, you can re-activate any time).

I'm particularly interested in this "field". I've build something similar many moons ago [1], in the same spirit, but much more primitive. I later started a company around an evolved idea, where the structure you sort of see in your screenshots is effectively a DAG with arbitrary depth (we didn't manage to release it unfortunately, complexity overtook us).

In any case, much congratulations + good luck with the launch!

outsourcing state to openai & co is great for them as vendor lock-in. the real money in AI will be business- and user-interfacing tools built on top of the vendors and it would be a terrible business decision to not abstract away from the model provider in the background and keep all private data under your domain, also from a data protection / legal point of view

i can understand them trying to prevent their business from becoming a commodity but i don't see that working out for them except for some short term buzz, but others will run with their ideas in domain specific applications
> We also change the architecture of
the model to reduce the KV-cache memory that tends to ex plo de with long context

This is key (pun not intended). It's one thing to run these models locally; it's a totally different game when you need longer context.

Sure, the new M3 Ultra can fit a Q4 DeepSeek r1 in URAM, but as soon as you wanna get usable context like +64k, the t/s and PP quickly become prohibitive.

Speaking of M3 Ultra, I really wish Apple had put more bandwidth in this beast of a machine. It's got a lot of "energy", not a lot of "power" to actually use that energy.

The publisher account for Material Theme and Material Theme Icons (Equinusocio) was mistakenly flagged and has now been restored. In the interest of safety, we moved fast and we messed up. We removed these themes because they fired off multiple malware detection indicators inside Microsoft, and our investigation came to the wrong conclusion. We care deeply about the security of the VS Code ecosystem, and acted quickly to protect our users.

I understand that the "Equinusocio" extensions author's frustration and intense reaction, and we hear you. It's bad but sometimes things like this happen. We do our best - we're humans, and we hope to move on from this We will clarify our policy on obfuscated code and we will update our scanners and investigation process to reduce the likelihood of another event like this.
These extensions are safe and have been restored for the VS Code community to enjoy.

Can someone explain Gemma vs Gemini for me please?
The problem is that, at some point, the west decided to stop rewarding excellence in tech and started rewarding people for their social networking abilities. Now we have a lot of people who are good at talking and few people who are good at tech who have money to invest in robotics. Had I been even moderately rich, I'm certain I would have been investing in robotics right now. But instead, I'm working on document management software for government... While extroverts who got rich from Facebook IPO get to build Instagram for dogs...

I think the decline coincided with the crackdown against cryptocurrency. Had it been allowed to develop normally instead of being suppressed and corrupted (by governments), things might have looked very different.

Now I don't believe the system has any integrity so it makes no sense for me be productive. I actively look for the highest paid, most unproductive jobs I can find... Fortunately, there are MANY of those available in our system.

I've made it my life's mission to exploit the system's flaws, while simultaneously complaining about them. Helping the bad guys self-destruct while earning a living is about as rewarding as it can be for me.

A lot of other people my age are in the same boat, some knowingly, most unknowingly. I hope situation will change soon. There are some signs but it's going to take some big changes.
Come on… 1 statically linked executable and it can cross build incredibly easily. There's no comparison even.

I have some code that has a deadlock. are you suggesting that I can find the deadlock by shipping my logs to a 3rd-party service that will feed them into an LLM?
Thanks, that means a lot to a full stack developer like me
Almost a decade? Amazing. Considering go has been cross platform since its inception almost twice as long as that, rust too, it’s no wonder developer mindshare is elsewhere.
The zero sum world is one of constant worldwars, and for little cause. Nazi Germanys wars and horrors of conquest were byproduct of a zero sum, colonial world order, were the strong regularly starved the weak out.

Like I said, it's a guess. I don't have firm numbers and I'm speculating. Aside from incidents like the one you described, I'm taking into account Wellington's military campaigns, which involved large-scale battles and entire kingdoms being conquered and subjugated. We are certainly talking about a death toll in the tens of thousands.

That is normal; the world worked that way prior to 1990.

The real change is that the US economy isn't obviously superior to the next however many economies combined. Consequently the US is losing the ability to impose its opinions on others as fundamental truths. It looks like everyone in the West will have to re-learn negotiation and it'll probably be a rocky process.
I think the idea was maintenance, so the connection to the neighbors would've been interrupted, thus the only connection would be through the person doing the maintenance.
I agree. With how much time we collectively spend online, money spent on online propaganda would be extremely high value for money for belligerent governments.
Gemma is their open-source series of models. Gemini is the propertierary ones. Gemini models are bigger and better. But Gemma are pretty good too.
For one thing, patients who believe they have "arthritis" and other forms of "inflammation" are often deceived by terminology. Arthritis and other -itis conditions may in fact be -osis or something else degenerative, incurable and mostly untreatable.

But they're called "-itis" because it falls into a category of "something we can treat" and so NSAIDs and analgesics are recommended/prescribed. "-itis" also implies "something that may eventually go away" so it doesn't entirely destroy the hope of a patient but keeps them as a good customer, at least in the drugstore. A physician who diagnoses things he can't treat could lose his practice, his license and his reputation. The practice of medicine is fundamentally where they match up a list of drugs in formulary with patients and symptoms. Unless the patient sees an ad and homes right in on what they want in the first place.

Any genuinely effective pain medication will be abused. Surely we've seen those commercials that tout how few Aleves you can take, compared to gob-stopping handfuls of other pills. Incurable chronic pain is a cash cow for OTC drug makers, because anyone who's that hard-up will studiously ignore side- or long-term- effects, in favor of seeking short-term relief from whatever ails ye. It's basically illegal to sell anything effective in a store; needs must regulate and gatekeep and extract maximum insurance money from them. And if you really read the directions on the label, many OTC meds will shout "DISCONTINUE USE AFTER X DAYS AND SEE A PHYSICIAN!!!" because why stay on the weaksauce?

Also, any substance/chemical that's available to consumers, and could be abused or used in suicide is deliberately adulterated/nerfed to make it really unpleasant/inconvenient/expensive.

Look at cancer: often someone with an incurable cancer will undergo arduous, horrific treatments that are really more guaranteed to sicken/kill them than the actual tumors. I'm always curious to know stats on who dies from chemotherapy rather than cancer.

I'm a Christian and I firmly believe in redemptive suffering, a topic on which my pastor wrote a dissertation, and he accompanied me in suffering, and there's no suffering that won't bring about a greater good. Nobody can relieve mine except Christ Jesus and his mother, and I will gladly meet them when the time is right.
I guess I’m in the minority here, but personally I would prefer UK law enforcement to have judge mediated access to encrypted data. Why? Because I’m a law abiding citizen who thinks the police do a good job in general and I want them to be able to keep my kids safe from drugs, my property safe from theft and so on. Sorry that this is unfashionable.

Of course, this will not stop crinimals from using dark web tools and so on - and it will not stop me from using encryption (steganosis anyone?) if I feel like it.

While this might be the thinking of many critical citizens, I would hope that this translates into political and governmental action. This is unfortunately not an automatism.

One problem remains if politics decide to scrap the F-35 deal in Germany:

While the Eurofighter was an alternative to the F-35, it is not certified to carry tactical nuclear weapons. The phased-out Tornado was the go to platform for this particular scenario.

America repeatedly threatened annexation and wanted water. It demands registration of goverment citizens. They call premier governor. Tariffs seem ti be preparatory steps meant to weaken Canada as a preparation for further attacks.

In general, conservatives are nowhere near to do the awful thing they say loudly they will do - and then, each time, they do that exact thing. Again again and again. These are plans and ignoring them is a self delution.
It definitely feels that way, especially compared to fields like computing where progress is exponential. But with medicine, the stakes are so much higher... Every breakthrough has to go through years of testing, trials, and regulatory hurdles to make sure it's actually safe and effective
I’m guessing this is a joke.

Rust only fixes the memory safety issues. It doesn’t fix bad software design, the problem where we have to trust other companies to keep their security issues under control (eg. Cisco), and it can’t undo bad decisions that have become industry standards (eg. SS7)

Despite all the FUD in the comments, the Comma is the single best thing I've ever added to any car, ever. From now on, I'll only ever buy a car that's compatible. It makes me feel safer by a huge margin (I might or might not have fallen asleep one night on a long road trip and awoken to my car driving along happily, and there may or may not have been numerous times when my car stopped me in time). Driving fatigue is nearly eliminated, and comfort for passengers is higher.

It's far better at driving than either FSD or Autopilot, though it doesn't navigate or change lanes without input, but for long road trips those things don't matter to me at all.
