Yup I do believe most of the Chinese elites just want that. The thing is, most of the Chinese elites don't really have a deep belief in anything, so getting the current status going is the best, most convenient thing for them.
It won’t, some of trump’s big supporters love illegal workers:

I think we need to separate issues here namely the threat types, one is jamming and another is spoofing.

As of jamming most probably the new clock will not help. But for spoofing it probably can be prevented and mitigated with the new clock, but the root cause is the pseudo-orthogonality of the spread spectrum.

To put it simply, in housing property market the main criteria are three namely location, location, location. Similarly in communication and specifically in wireless the main criteria are also three namely orthogonality, orthogonality, orthogonality.

It's interesting to note that all mainstream GNSS systems including GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou are using spread spectrum modulation system, and they all affected by the pseudo-orthogonality of the spread spectrum system. There's a reason why the newer 4G/5G, and even Wi-Fi have moved away from spread spectrum modulation that's was being initially used by 3G and 802.11b, respectively, by fully embracing OFDM. The reverse-engineered Starlink modulation is reportedly using OFDM as well [1]. This mainly because of spread spectrum limitations but at the time it's not due to spoofing (security) but due to bandwidth scaling (performance) limitations. For GNSS on the other hand, don't care about the bandwidth because it's for location service not streaming video, but the limitations of being pseudo-orthogonal eventually got to them in the form of spoofing vulnerability.

The next generation GNSS designers perhaps need to bite the bullet, and should employ proper orthogonal modulation (OFDM or others), not pseudo one like spread spectrum. Having highly accurate on board clock is a hacked solution at best, not a proper solution, and it just unnecessarily increase the upfront cost and maintenance complexity by being overkill and over engineered.

“Technical review by experienced developers
Our team of engineers with experience at top tech companies reviews each question for technical accuracy, relevance, and clarity.”

Which engineers which top companies? It’s all very ambitious.
One should make one as it otherwise makes it hard to read, because there is no distinction between the operating system and the kernel. Saying Linux can compile itself is just nonsense as it clearly needs GNU GCC or another compiler. But of course you can have a Linux operating system without a compiler. Using Linux as either Linux the Kernel or a operating system with the Linux kernel interchangably is just imprecise gibberish. Almost as bad as intellectual property.
True. Innovation is also imaginary and made of thin air, until it is put into practice.
I loved playing No One Lives Forever 1&2 on my Voodoo 5 5500. That was the height of my PC building days. Now as a wizened old man, I'm stuck with these Apple Macbook Pros/Airs and they do well enough. But I do miss building my own machines...
Manus probably isn't China's second 'DeepSeek moment'
There's a distinction between "a model" and the chain of tools and models you employ when asking something on chatgpt.com or any of the consumer facing alternatives.

The latter is a chain of models, some specialized in question dissecting, some specialized in choosing the right models and tools (i.e: there's a calculation in there, lets push that part to a simple python function that can actually count stuff, and pull the rest through a generic LLM). I experiment with such toolchains myself and it's baffling how fast the complexity of all this is becoming.

A very simple example would be "question" -> "does_it_want_code_generated.model" -[yes]-> specialized_code_generator.model | -[no]-> specialized_english_generator.model"

So, sure: a model has no "knowledge", and nor does a chain of tools. But having e.g. a model specialized (ie. trained on or enriched with) all scientific papers ever, or maybe even a vector DB with all that data, somewhere in the toolchain that is in charge of either finding the "very likely references" or denying an answer would help a lot. It would for me.
Also bank loan. But risk.

Actually I have not even seen the free versions yet as I was always priviliged with the paid ones by my school.

GitHub absolutely can be used without pull requests. I don't say that this is a good idea.
> GPS for tracking phone users should go away anyway. If you are in an unknown city, but a damn paper map. No tracking and you absorb the big picture much faster.

Regular GPS is receive-only. GPS receivers naturally cannot be tracked. Tracking happens much higher up the stack, such as with your map app downloading local map tiles for display. Technology-wise, it's trivial to have a smartphone based map that is tracking-free, and the privacy focused alternate phone OSes do this already.
I was being somewhat terse.

The (implied) claim is that the C standard has enough sources of undefined behavior that even a simple integer addition can't be relied upon to actually perform integer addition.

But the sources of undefined behavior for integer addition in C are well-known and very clear, and any instruction set that isn't an insane science project is going to have an instruction to add integers.

Thus my comment. Show me a C compiler that takes that code and miscompiles it. I don't care if it returns a constant, spits out an infinite loop, jumps to 0x0000, calls malloc, whatever. Show me a C compiler that takes those four lines of C code and emits something other than an integer addition instruction.
I can confirm this. I was already cautious with Qwant because it was, from the very beginning, the worst search engine I've ever seen.
As others have said, it does not update automatically, you have to do that yourself.
Not OP, but just checking in as a another happy Kagi + Fastmail user here!
I just looked this up. I feel like this should have been obvious to me before but Trump has a contact form and Obama has an official email address. Though they probably go through like 12 layers of indirection first.
I agree that what trump is doing is a threat to free speech, i really wish there was some kind of non partisan free speech faction in US politics but there doesn't seem to be. In any case, i'm replying to this post because you're apparently blind to your hubris.

> Even if you don’t like the people being threatened and chilled right now, it will be you eventually."

Maybe you should give yourself your own advice. You seemingly stood by doing nothing and even still think you're in a position make fun of people campaigning for free speech protections on social media (especially considering the fact that the government was indeed involved in censoring speech on these platforms). You literally already had the chance to stand up for people being threatened and chilled and not only actively chose not to, you stood in opposition to those people because you deemed it not "real" enough for you. You are not above anyone else nor are you in a position to lecture anyone else on this topic, ever.
Are you saying at Tesla, GitHub can't be used without pull requests? You can for sure (obviously) just push to whatever branch you want for your GitHub hosted repository if that's your desire.
There are plenty of worker owned businesses. If this leads to more worker prosperity then the free market should push workers into them and to form them. They are free to do so, so what gives?
These are definitely techniques that you take for granted, even moreso now with computer animation. I definitely am impressed now when I see scenes like the opening of Sleeping Beauty as the camera zooms in on the inside of the castle. My wife and kids get confused at this point as to what I'm making such a big deal about.
>There's nothing european about this. / "Yeah but it's a european company so!"

You are contradicting yourself. There is something European about it.

Anyway, as long as it's not from the USA, it's a win.

For a generic village in Poland during WWII having the Red Army show up was an order of magnitude worse outcome then the Germans.

It’s a little deceptive. While early work began on Kagi prior to Orion, Orion launched prior to Kagi becoming GA. I think that can be interpreted in relatively different ways, mine being that I got to experience Orion as a product before Kagi. Anyway thanks for the timeline link.
I switched to Droid-ify a long time ago, too, so I second it.
Even if you could build as you please, the labour costs still make up the large marjory of the cost of the home. There isn't a whole lot of room for the costs to come down.

That is unless you destroy the price of labour... Which undoing the global economy will help with.

Rust in 2025: Targeting foundational software

I stopped thinking this a decade or so ago. I now think that technology has become a net negative.

Yes, it brings huge benefits as you note. The problem as I see it is that it now brings even larger drawbacks as well.
The first time I lost all my money in the stock market was when I went all in on 3dfx stock against nvidia. Ah, the good ol’days!
This seems circular, since there are no credible authorities to decide what is “a fair share” or not, other than the political process in the first place.

(And then only in the ideal perfectly spherical cow world where single issue voters don’t exist…)
As the old saying goes, buy the glass, rent the body. Camera bodies change much more quickly than the lenses, so as an indie your money is better spent on the glass.

>I’m afraid AI won't give us a "compressed 21st century".

There's no mention of exponential growth which seems a major omission when you are talking about centuries. Computers have kept improving in a Moore's law like way in terms of compute per dollar and no doubt will keep on like that for a while yet. Give it a few years and AI tech will be way better than what we have now. I don't know about exact timings like 5-10 years but in a while.
Assuming law-following (which I realize the current administration doesn't care about), that agency's authority doesn't apply:

"These authorities discourage, and in some circumstances, prohibit U.S. companies from taking certain actions in furtherance or support of a boycott maintained by a foreign country against a country friendly to the United States (unsanctioned foreign boycott)."

So it's about US companies and foreign governments, not individual consumers purchase decisions
And badger -- In Europe they are small adorable members of the Meles genus. In the Americas, Africa, and Asia the word refers to larger and more aggressive animals in the Taxidea and Mellivora genera that just look superficially like Meles.
you're willfully misunderstanding. you may say that so am I, but the difference between your comment and mine is that I can add a couple of words to my comment and make yours irrelevant. for GP to fix the hole in their argument, they would have to find an entirely new valid piece of evidence.
I feel like that would be asking for security issues.

Someone logs into their bank account (or something sensitive) at home. Later they foolishly login to their browser at work not realizing that they now have the employer access to …. everything.

Or even a bad actor just gets the device and you unknowingly perpetually are giving them access.

You could have work arounds and yes the user should know better, but the problems seem inevitable.
Deep Learning and Farming: It's still 1915
I wrote this exploring a parallel between AI and agriculture: we may be at the beginning of an efficiency revolution similar to the fertilizer revolution in farming.
Recent evidence is compelling: Phi-4 (14B) outperforming larger models on reasoning tasks through synthetic data, and SYNTHETIC-1 showing how specially crafted examples dramatically improve performance over raw data volume.
The agricultural revolution didn't come from more land, but from understanding what plants actually need. Similarly, AI's next breakthrough might come from understanding what makes effective training data, not just scaling compute or dataset size.
If this analogy holds, by 2026 we should see smaller specialized models consistently outperforming larger general ones on reasoning tasks.
INS accumulates error though. It comes in handy in the absence of any other navigation system, but generally an INS is supplemented by some sort of radio navigation aid such as VOR, LORAN, or GPS to correct it.

Except guess what! Many of the VOR stations in the USA have been shut down, due to the high availability of GPS!
In fact, for me it is pretty hard if not impossible to remain genuine to my ability and personal touch to navigate corporate world having to swallow all those keywords and behave properly in front of interviewers. Thinking that hacking/mastering it is often the single way out.
- The project's Github page links to an organization that promotes anti-Israel initiatives (BDS)

Surely we need more "context"
If you add to this cutting power and water supply you really need some infrastructure upgrade.

3090. Models like flux or wanvideo with fp16 text encoders will push your VRAM usage over 20GB. LLMs with functional context (or workflows with multi-model, not modal, tie in) will all break 16GB.

There's no point to performance without context. At its pricepoint, the 5080 is purely a gaming card.
I've always wanted to know how the various autofocus systems worked. This page is incredible. I wish there was another one with the Nikon autofocus systems since that's what I actually have.

I still have several lenses with autofocus that don't have an AF motor in it at all, the motor is in the camera body instead there's a tiny screw on the lens mount that transfers the motor rotation to the autofocus parts in the lense. This was very slow and noisy though on my cameras.
Cookies are often used to identify devices. Syncing them across devices would defeat that purpose.
Then why have laws in the first place? Seriously, that's just self-defeating cynicism.

I haven't looked into Ecosia, but they seem to be a GmbH, a limited liability company in Germany. This allows a lot of wiggle room!

A foundation (that's another legal form in Germany, but note that the name "foundation" itself is not protected.) would probably be a better alternative, but due to the way foundations (the legal form) are designed, they are hard to setup and maintain, i.e. expensive. Anyway, Ecosia is also part of a growing movement for steward-ownership that's promoting a new legal form called "Gesellschaft mit gebundenen Vermögen" (GmgV, Company with bound capital). The German department of justice is involved, and while this does not promise a speedy delivery, there are drafts and it does show attention on the highest level.

Let's cheer those people on than lazily dismiss them.
Hot take - these types of interviews are caused by "elite overproduction" - there are too many very qualified and capable programmers, so the end result is a process that is selecting for the most agreeable and obedient personalities who agree to put up with these gauntlets.
This isn't a civil law vs common law thing.

It's a US vs sensible countries thing.
Well my point is more that EU is in a situation where Trump can realistically demand Greenland because without the US we cannot even protect ourselves. We should be outraged at the leaders that brought us to this situation more than Trump, while some other administration could have been less on the nose about it, they are still in a situation where they hold "have all the cards" (exaggerating).

If Trump was not so obnoxious I do not think a lot of people would be welcoming Germany building up its military for example.
The Internet Press (Press) is an exclusive profit sharing social network. The core difference is the ability to post decorated content beyond your imagination with styling and embeddables. Press uses the Codes of Digital Engagement (the Code) as the Terms and Privacy Policy to foster an authentic community and a genuine social media experience. Just a website for now.
They made soykaf real?

Fascinating.
Perhaps people mistook Dan Brown as authoritative on the matter. I browsed the read samples of some of the top listed books on Leonardo da Vinci on Amazon, and all use "Leonardo" in their introduction whenever they do not refer to him as "Leonardo da Vinci". I found no single isolated "da Vinci". See:

https://www.amazon.com/-/en/dp/0715324535

https://www.amazon.com/-/en/dp/B0DHFRBMF3

https://www.amazon.com/-/en/dp/1501139169

The standard way to avoid confusion is to introduce him as "Leonardo da Vinci" and later just say "Leonardo".
If you're already using python or powershell, you're not going to switch for one library (I.e. pandas or ImportExcel).
