> Eagles don't sound like you think they do.

The “classic” sound for eagles is actually the cry of a red-tailed hawk. We have both redtails, and bald eagles, around here.

Eagles sound pretty unimpressive. I term it “the call of the sick seagull.”
I'm not sure "pre-scientific" is a meaningful distinction. Maybe "pre-scientific-method"?

Certainly one major problem is: although we live after the scientific method was developed, things can still be done without actually following its principles.
You can bet that it won't matter if the robot is looking at you, it'll be capturing audio/video and collecting huge amounts of sensor data about its surroundings at all times. A robot looking at a phone would be redundant. Maybe the publishing lobby could push to get them to read physical books instead.
I did not claim that he directly participated in that. If you simply google his name, in every article the word 'leader' is used to describe him in relation to the Columbia protests, protests which did include such acts.
DNA has a very strong signal for man, woman, and everyone in between.
Yandex is also pretty good, they have their own index and it's a lot better than Google on political stuff (as long as the news isn't too recent) and any sort of torrent site.
Here's my comment [1] from 3 days ago on the announcement on HN:

> It seems reasonablly likely this is inspired partially by the pivotal tone-setting role that Reddit - entirely organically - played in the outpour of support for Luigi Mangione. It's widely known that big tech CEOs are all in shared WhatsApp (or Signal) groups, and especially social media platforms are very attentive to the opinions of their powerful friends, both governmental and non-governmental. There's no doubt that a lot of them will have reached out to Reddit leadership after that event.
Don't take this as justification, it's anything but that. Purely a look at their motivations and timing.

I'm not happy I was completely spot on, I'm sad this wasn't a more widely shared prescience.

I totally agree about all of the flaws, but I don't see that as an obstacle to profitability under the typical Schumpeterian conditions of business.

After all, look at how much money Myanmar makes from enslaving people to work as unpaid internet catfishers.

Considering this, plus the fact that it's just annoying, it's strange that they don't let you turn the heated steering wheel or seat on without turning the heater on. It's literally not permitted. I have to work around it by setting the fan to 1 manually every time.
Every state has right-to-farm laws. Most only protect commercial farming, but not all and sometimes the definition of commercial is rather loose, so it might be worth looking into.

And is that what happened?
Ah yes, South Bend is too close to Chicago, too close to Indianapolis, too close to Detroit... No VHF frequency left to allocate! The biggest problem is Chicago. South Bend is on a subcontinental ridge, with an average elevation nearly 300 feet higher than Chicago, and with all the transmitters in Chicago up 1500-1800 feet above ground and close to the lake, overcoming the curvature of the earth limitations on VHF propagation is fairly simple. Anyone in South Bend with a large antenna on their roof would easily receive all the stations.

On the upside, that meant having two versions of CBS and NBC (I don't remember an ABC affiliate in South Bend) plus the couple of other stations. My cousin got his start as a weatherman on NBC in South Bend simply by them needing someone to fill in from time to time and him being essentially the only person they could find that grew up in South Bend but had gone off to study meteorology at a university that was very very good for meteorology.
A permanent resident is not someone who is seeking to immigrate to the US. They have already immigrated. That's what permanent residency status is, and that's why there's a much higher bar for the removal of permanent residency than there is for a visa, or the *application* for a permanent residency.

The government can have wide latitude in who it chooses to grant permanent residency to. It cannot, however, flippantly revoke that status (and especially not over disfavored speech)

To think it should be allowed to do so is to either fundamentally misunderstand what a "permanent resident" is, or to callous disregard all of our first amendment rights.
You're really missing the point. Have you ever even been on a boat? The Pacific Ocean is a big place, and carriers don't move in predictable straight lines. Drones aren't going to be able to loiter in place indefinitely just on the hope that a carrier might wander into range.

The Chinese are not stupid. Their A2/AD doctrine is based on large, expensive manned aircraft and fast missiles, not slow and weak little "drones".
For me, it isn't just about complexity, but about customization.

I can have the LLMs build me custom bash scripts or make me my own Obsidian plugins.

They're all little cogs in my own workflow. None of these individual components are complex, but putting all of them together would have taken me ages previously.

Now I can just drop all of them into the conversation and ask it for a new script that works with them to do X.

Here's an example where I built a custom screenshot hosting tool for my blog:

Saying something is “pegged” is saying that the price is fixed. There doesn’t exist any volatility between pegged instruments because that’s what a peg means.

So you have to compare them to other things, which is what inflation (or deflation) measures. And gold pegged usd has volatility to other items in the economy greater than modern fiat usd.
My workflow for that kind of thing goes something like this (I use Sonnet 3.7 Thinking in Cursor):

1. 1st prompt is me describing what I want to build, what I know I want and any requirements or restrictions I'm aware of. Based on these requirements, ask a series of questions to produce a complete specification document.

2. Workshop the specification back and forward until I feel it's complete enough.

3. Ask the agent to implement the specification we came up with.

4. Tell the agent to implement Cursor Rules based on the specifications to ensure consistent implementation details in future LLM sessions.

I'd say it's pretty good 80% of the time. You definitely still need to understand the problem domain and be able to validate the work that's been produced but assuming you had some architectural guidelines you should be able to follow the code easily.

The Cursor Rules step makes all the difference in my experience. I picked most of this workflow up from here: https://ghuntley.com/stdlib/

Edit: A very helpful rule is to tell Cursor to always checkout a new branch based on the latest HEAD of master/main for all of it's work.

No, I'm paid much more to do much more than what I did in this simple task. Claude didn't even test the changes (in this case, it does not have the hardware required to do that), or decide that the feature needed to be implemented in the first place. But my comparison wasn't "how do I compare to Claude Code", it was "how does Aider compare to Claude Code". My boss does not use Aider or Claude Code, and would not be happy with the results of replacing me with it (yet).
Huh? This just reinforces what I said. He isn’t accused of distributing pro-Hams propaganda or saying he supports them. At best you have unsubstantiated claims on X that someone distributed some images at an event he was also at. That isn’t very conclusive and likely won’t hold up in a normal court of law.
The company shift to privacy was more about getting pulled in front of Congress over the location data being accessible via USB as part of iTunes backup:

Source: people who were at Apple during that time period.

Example: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/government-officials-want...

I think people underestimate how traumatic it was culturally to Apple and how Apple generally experiences comparatively little turnover vs their other major tech peers, so the responses to those traumas linger. Same with the brouhaha over the CSAM tech that they attempted to bundle into the iPhone that ostensibly was trying to preserve your privacy and they instantly got smacked down over it.

Do a search of USAID and Civicus and you'll see a bunch of partnerships throughout the years. Most funding from USAID goes through NGOs, so you're not going to see a direct funding, but it's pretty clear they are in the same space as overt USAID funding targets like Internews.

Grew up around some farm trucks that were electronic free diesels. My grandfather called them "luddite diesels". Later in life I realized the humor, considering that a diesel engine is a technology, and that luddites likely prefer horses...

You could likely store them in the junk DNA without much risk, as long as you avoid encoding sequences that are the start of coding regions. That said, if you managed to inject them into every cell of your body, this would be the biological equivalent of dropping pamphlets containing your passwords everywhere you go.
I'll preface this with the fact I agree that there is a difference between using a framework and being curious enough to dig into the details I think you're veering into No True Scotsman territory here.

IMO, the vast majority of programmers wouldn't meet the definition you've put forward here. I don't know many that dig into the operating system, platform, or hardware all that much, though I work in streaming media so that might just be an industry bias.

I haven’t worked with ffmpeg’s code, but I have worked with QEMU. QEMU has a lot of OOP (implemented in C obviously) that is supported by macros and GCC extensions. I definitely think it would have been better (and the code would be easier to work with) to use C++ rather than roll your own object model in C, but QEMU is quite old so it’s somewhat understandable. I say that as someone who mostly writes C and generally doesn’t like using C++.

I used to have some serbian staff, and this seems mostly true, but they had one hell of a time contracting globally.

Basically in a lot of countries you either are a FT equivalent and get bennies or you are not an FTE and get nada.

But the serbs had some social outrage over foreign companies contracting to their citizens but not paying tax in that country. From what I gather its due to healthcare costs.

So they did something, (difficult for me to ingest as a foreigner) but it seems that either:

1. You have to register and pay corporate tax in Serbia, then you can hire locals without issue

2. The staff member has to register as a business and pay corporate + payroll tax

or they do it dodgy and hope the tax man doesnt ruin their life.

This had the effect of creating a cottage industry of middlemen who take a slice between employer and employee which is probably the least freedom oriented outcome possible.

Hard to say - at my current company many people seem to be there for the long haul (it is a good place to work) and I'd say many departures have been due to restructures (some people lost jobs, but I think in a few cases existing managers haven't seen eye to eye with new leadership so have left, but also taken people with them).

At my last job people came and went, but I'd say that the job hoppers would be more inclined to say for 3-4 years rather than 1-2 years.

As a further insight, I'd say that my current job is at a big company, and in my town there are probably only four or five other companies of comparable size, while my previous job was medium sized and there were probably a lot of companies of that size that you could move to.
Then I certainly feel confused & may be wrong.

Edit:

You're near-certainly right that pegging in dollars would means some rate, let's for simplicity presume a constant ratio, between dollars and what it's begged to.

I think crux is what happens if we model two different currencies, one of which is begged, and the price of te commodity in each.

If after the conversion rate you can get cheap gold, that keeps golds value low and pegged currency's value high, I would guess.

Again I think restricting impots in the commodity is necessary to maintain supply.

Why do you assume China will take over as a superpower? It’s certainly not the case historically that there’s a single global hegemon.

Also, I use “empire” because people are justifying our having military bases all over the world on that somehow benefitting america economically. I am not sure I understand why—forcing the world to use dollars as the reserve currency seems to be part of the theory. But if that’s the case then empire is an appropriate label.

There is weak or no evidence of this. These products have been widely consumed by hundreds of millions of people over very long timeframes and are broadly very safe. The literature mostly shows the opposite of your weight gain claim.
I also think it's a very poor choice of words. If Sovietization meant introducing inefficiencies and bureaucracy in the egg supply chain, this is not even remotely what the article claims is going on here: the eggs producers are very intentionally (rather than incompetently or bureaucratically) throttling the egg production because it's more profitable to produce less
If the authors meant monopolization of the egg supply, well, that's also pretty far from being uniquely a Soviet phenomenon.

It was a really dumb thing to bring up and it chips away at the authors' credibility.

In the macro sense? Possibly, if everyone is doing what I'm doing. In my experience though, the opposite is more common; I've heard of people absolutely refusing to tip out of "principle", and then workers making sub-minimum wage don't actually get paid what they're legally "mandated".

In the micro sense, I find it pretty unlikely that I'm single-handedly making much difference personally in the New York economy. While as software engineer in tech I'm undoubtedly better off than average, I'm certainly not anywhere close to wealthy enough that even spending my entire net worth on tips would affect anything at all.
He is the leader of a group that is being accused of endorsing Hamas and distributing pro-Hamas literature. If true, then him being the leader absolutely means he is responsible and should be held responsible. Unless you don't think that Trump should be held responsible for the actions of Musk.

Obviously a newspaper article isn't enough evidence and even the veracity of the article remains in question, the assumption is that there will be actual evidence. If true, he should be deported. If false, then he deserves to go free. It's pretty cut and dry.

The different mindsets exist, but I agree these are bad words to differentiate them. Back when I started in software in the 80s a common expression was: there are two types of programmers, nerds and hippies.

While the idle draw is relatively high on Teslas compared to other EVs (even without sentry mode enabled), 7.5% is quite high. I track my stats with Teslamate and it estimates typical SoC loss of 1% over a day.

What I have seen is that the BMS may update its SoC estimate after driving, and I've seen it adjust the estimated SoC up or down by as much as 5% in some cases.

I get that from a planning perspective, it still stinks to have range than you thought you did an hour ago, but it's not all that different from the variation you might get with an analog dial on the gas tank, just that it's much easier to notice and track when it's digital and showed as a precise number.
