They don't have power, but they do have influence. Every Prime Minister has a weekly meeting with the... King (still hard to type that, isn't it?), an off-the-record discussion of what they're doing and thinking, with someone who (theoretically, at least) has the long view interests of the nation in mind. Most have said it's immensely valuable.

That apart, the "show" function is important, too. It separates the Head of State and Head of Government functions, which makes it easier to dismiss the Head of Government, without disturbing the stability of the State. The US system fuses the two, which (in my view) is part of what makes the Congress reluctant to follow through on impeachment. (To avoid recent examples: had Bill Clinton been (treated like) a British Prime Minister in 1998 he'd have lost a no-confidence vote among his own party, and Al Gore would have served out his term. I think that would have been a better outcome than what actually happened, and followed.)
Oh then it's even worse than I knew: I had no idea there was Windows Powershell, too, and had (evidently erroneously?) through they just renamed Copilot to GitHub Copilot

Every article I've seen so far on LLM datacenter investment is either very bullish or very bearish and I haven't seen sober exploration of whether it might be neither.

What happens to the tech world if it turns out that LLMs really are the 20-billion dollar product category that every industry needs to explore to maintain competitiveness but they will never be the 500-billion dollar product category that changes the world? What if they are stuck at the middle-level of importance forever? Do Microsoft, Meta, etc need a federal bailout if that happens?
Too much generalization. Not interesting and not a discussion. No idea why you even bothered to reply.

I stated an opinion. You can reject it silently. Having the last word is not such a badass move as many people think. :)
Ah it might be that I didn’t try long enough!

It does appear the instructions are randomized, so I might have been unlucky.

A few years back while recertifying, I got interested in what the world record was for the longest successful CPR recovery.
Found this incident that lasted 4 hours, involving someone who'd gone into hypothermia some hours before:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/christine-tin...

In this case, her lowered body temperature contributed to surviving long enough for rescue.

CPR doesn't have the highest success rate, but it's worth knowing how to do as it can make a life or death difference.

> There is evidence that the group that Khalil headed did endorse Hamas and distributed pro-Hamas propaganda

There is nothing in those articles that says he supported Hamas or that he distributed pro-Hamas propaganda.
I am convinced of it, as an Australian.

Commercial interests have been assaulting truth since before I was born, nearly half a century ago. The methods for doing so have steadily improved. Social media briefly hindered it, before being co-opted thoroughly to advance it.

Even where the truth hasn't been completely buried, finding what's true and what's spewed from the firehose of bullshit is a time consuming and difficult task, one that definitely doesn't scale to very many of life's decisions at all.

Culminating this trend is the rise of the extreme right across the globe. This is tightly linked to politically motivated disinformation coupled with whatever the techniques are that are forming closed mind cult-like behaviours.

Maybe it's not an assault on truth - maybe truth is just collateral damage - but I don't think I could even pose it as a question to ask if you could convince me these things are not happening.
No, that's backwards. DRC is the big one, RoC is the small one.

You can use the extra 40% when you need it (road trips), but you shouldn’t be using it when you don’t need it (daily commutes).

He might think he is like the president and can just use a new controversy to make people forget about the previous one.
Driving style and speed also factor into it.

My car doesn't get anything near the advertised mileage but that's because of speed and driving style. I'm thrilled with it. On long road trips I fill (charge) to about 1.5X my expected driving mileage, and don't have any problems. If, however, I was worried about the number, I would drive a different car… but then life would be no fun.

Thank you for providing this.

He mentions right after that "empathy is good but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot".

That quote is clearly taken out of context and is specifically chosen as click/rage bait.

Like all things, nuance and context is always key.
Maybe true for common law, but definitely not everywhere. For example in Polish penal code: "Art. 162. §1. Anyone who does not provide assistance to a person in a situation threatening a direct danger of loss of life or serious damage to health, when he could provide it without exposing himself or another person to the danger of loss of life or serious damage to health, shall be subject to a penalty of imprisonment for up to 3 years."

I don't know, they say that they're up $250M but the total cost of the program was $375M. I presume the bulk of that $375 went into the $30 incentive balance. That amounts to quite an economic stimulus for cheap.

All in all, El Salvador has been doing pretty well economically. It's human rights that have been the worrying point.
Why, specifically, do you think a bunch of people with no medical training and no ability to understand medical literature should be “listened to” about things they absolutely do not, at all, understand?

Sorry that it makes you feel bad to be told you don’t know what you’re talking about, but the fact, ultimately, remains.
Nothing wrong with quoting it in a supportive fashion. It is an entirely reasonable take. Especially if you listen to the entire point he made, and not cherry pick the part that makes it sound bad (intentionally, of course)

If you are letting “empathy” drive your civilization to ruin, it is no longer empathy. That is the point.
the 6.2 and 6.5 are good engines - but dodge has the cummins and the ford powerstroke (other than the 6.0) are a much better engine and so they get a bad reputation.
That data means that reversing the rule that prevented meat chicken eggs from being sold will have a negligible impact on the crisis:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/national-chicken-council-asks-fda...

It also means this is not going to be a huge impact either:

https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/turkey-export-15...

That import is 240,000,000 eggs if my math is right. If it is spread over a few months we will barely notice it. If it were achieved in a single month, it might be more noticeable.

I am reasoning mostly based on significant figures. I did not compare historical lows to production figures to try to get an idea of what actual demand is and I assume there is a bit of a smoothing effect that allows a surplus and shortfall in adjacent months to cancel.
That seems very unlikely since nothing of that sort was ever attempted by Jobs on their desktops.
Congratulations! Php is the weakest part of laravel.

I don't know and it is a good question. Maybe we need three or four wage earners per household. Maybe 60-70 hour work weeks. I would like to hear some ideas that does not include more grinding down workers for GDP. Maybe another measure for a health society. Growth certainly help lots of people but when an economy is mature maybe more is not necessarily better, at least for the average worker.
Journalism is the art of massaging a press release (from a politically motivated organization that nobody has ever heard of and which doesn't actually do anything) into a statement of fact. The average person (who has a seventh-grade reading level, mind you) has absolutely no defense against this sort of low-effort appeal to "authority".

TL;DR: It's nonsense. They're manufacturing dissent.
This was an amazing article, but I think the clickbait title didn't help. I get the vague connection to this but it really belittles the content by making it seem like it's about Musk.

I 100% agree with Klein, the left needs to admit where it was wrong and START BUILDING things. It's time to remove local regulations that delay and deny housing from being built.
That wasn't the main idea (which is also the idea that mentioned Trump), that was a secondary one. The main idea was just breakups. The comment I replied to summarized the whole suggestion as socialism.
This is really cool! Thanks for making it. I'm going to try it out today with my UV-PRO. I'd be curious to learn how you go about reversing the protocol. That'd make a really interesting blog post.
How could it, it was pegged? That’s begging the question.

But you can see that inflation (and worse deflation) had volatility when the us was on the gold standard: https://www.investopedia.com/inflation-rate-by-year-7253832

If you dig into the 1800s the volatility was even worse.
Yeah I gave Claude Code a try at about 5 different things, with miserable results on all of them (insult to injury -- each time it charged me about a buck!). I wonder if because it was C# with Unity code, maybe not so heavily represented in the training set?

I still find lots of use for LLMs authoring stuff at more like the function level. "I know I need exactly this."

Edit: I did however find it amazing for asking questions about sections of the code I did not write.
This is the sweet spot in my opinion. I haven't been in the .NET world for a few years but there's a very similar library called Dapper. Best "ORM" I ever used.

It is, but it also makes sense. The enemy wasn’t really Russia, it was communism and, more broadly, leftism.

Modern Russia resembles the USSR in some respects: oppressive government, not particularly wealthy, over-militarized. But it’s definitely not communist.

If freedom and democracy is your thing then that part doesn’t matter. But if your thing is anti-leftism, conservative morality, militarism, powerful rulers, and white people, modern Russia looks pretty good.

I'm not here to solve your problems.

The fact that you think that all economies can be reduced to something as simple as "1 + 1 = 2" is one of your problems. Good luck.
The US uses EPA testing instead of WTLP. WTLP is closer to EPA than the Chinese standard but it's not uncommon for the EPA range to be 10-20% lower. Ofc people assume they'll get the EPA range if they're driving 80mph into a headwind which is when they run into trouble
They don't know anything dude. You can't read finance articles on AI. They cannot even install ollama locally. This means the only information they can provide is conjecture and rumors on how money is moving, absolutely nothing else. The Deepseek reporting exposed them.

Huang expressed the truth. The reasoning feature is a loop, which means more hits to the LLM, which means more compute. So more datacenters.
You may find it utterly nullifying, not just mitigating.

I, of free and sound mind, do not.

I find an argument that it could be nullifying to be quite challenging to make. (really, I can't figure out how I'd make it)

Additionally, if I could, I'd still have to wrestle with that life isn't full of cartoon villains, and people usually hedge.
The flagging of articles critical of SpaceX/Tesla are pretty interesting. Every now and then one breaks through to the front page, but an amazing about get flagged.

It's hard not to see the connection of YCombinator to Musk, maybe just a lot of people here are happy to defend him.
You're right. How can any state with nuke-backed right to issue ultimatums slowly get weakened like that? If Russia states limits, and convinces U.S. that they will launch if the limits are crossed, and these limits are within the threat budget of Russia, can they not make U.S. agree to things (and vice versa)?
would you have paid someone to do it over solving the challenge yourself?
How did they know to explore this cave in particular? Blows my mind. Or was it by accident?
Let's be clear here because you're trying to muddy the waters.

There is no evidence that Khalil endorsed Hamas or distributed pro-Hamas propaganda.

Those articles are simply using the "guilt by association" tactic and it's disgraceful.
This thing can "fix" tests, not code. It just adjusts tests to incorrect code. So you need to keep an eye on the test code as well. That sounds crazy, of course. You have to constantly keep in mind that LLM doesn't understand what it is doing.
"He has remained active in recent disruptive protests, including last week’s takeover of the Milstein Library at Barnard College. Videos and photographs posted on X depict him holding a bullhorn near the library entrance and engaged in discussion with school administrators.

That protest featured violent propaganda flyers that purportedly came directly from the “Hamas Media Office,” including one pamphlet titled “Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” which justified the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people — and in which women were repeatedly raped, whole families were executed and 251 hostages were taken to the Gaza Strip.

Others at the Barnard library takeover passed around trading card-like photos of notorious Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon last September."

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents aided a Columbia -owned apartment inhabited by Mahmoud Khalil, who fronts a radical group, Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD), which sympathizes with terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah and calls for the “end of Western Civilization.”"

Whether or not this is true, I can't say at this point or if this is just propaganda. But at the very least it does say that his group sympathizes with terror groups and if that's true, then it makes him eligible for deportation.
I lost so much time to that game. It let you design your own tables and I made all kinds of Rube Goldberg setups.
Correct.

And those people who scalped toilet paper and sanitizer....their motivations may be scammy, but they were correcting a market that wasn't correcting itself.

Yeah it would suck for sanitizer to cost 10x as much, but that's the only thing that's going to make people ration it like they should.

Right on point. The same principle applies when deciding whether to use a framework or not. Coders often marvel at the speed with which they can build something using a framework they don’t fully understand. However, a true programmer seeks to know and comprehend what’s happening under the hood.

where do chickens come from? eggs! If one needs more chickens, one could let the eggs be fertilized and then incubate those eggs. all you need is a rooster in good health. Eggs that are incubated in this way won't be in the grocery store in cartons, because they will be chickens instead.
“It's weird how when you mention Iraq in isolation, people think it's indefensible, but when you mention it in the context of Russian anxieties, all of a sudden, we are all bending over backwards to explain how it was perfectly justified, and it wasn't unprovoked aggression against an uninvolved country.”

Wat? I’ve never heard anything like that. I’ve heard people try to justify it on the basis of believing the WMD lie or removing Saddam from power, but Russia is never even mentioned in this context.
I feel so incredibly embarrassed at my mistake here and understand the outrage.

The worst case scenario is pretty much unbounded. 80mph range will be worse than 70mph. But it's still better than range at 90mph or 100mph.

I guess you could use the highest legal speed limit in the US alongside the lowest temp and fastest headwinds ever recorded in Texas. In conjunction with the heaviest, least aerodynamic thing that the vehicle can physically tow.

But that may be annoying to replicate in a controlled setting and will be even less relevant to most people than the EPA distance.
One nice thing about being a superpower is that we don't have to do anything. We can choose to be isolationist. That seems like a seductive option in the short term because it costs us nothing. But historically that approach hasn't worked out well for us in the past. Will the average US citizen be better off if China takes over as the primary global power?

And stop being disingenuous by labelling the current US-led global security system as an "empire". Words mean things and I'm sure you're smart enough to know what a real empire looks like, so I can't imagine what you think you're accomplishing by trying to frame the debate that way.

OpenAI has a huge feud with Elon Musk. Microsoft detaching itself from OpenAI and exploring partnerships with xAI among others makes a lot of sense as the card deck shuffles and more power and influence is concentrated near those in the good graces of the Trump administration. Sam Altman and OpenAI are a liability at this point.
I'm not aware of any new rules this year that has made anyone suddenly ineligible for a passport.
There was a longer version of my comment that included a disagreement with the idea that there are less self-directed learners today, but that is probably more a function of my local societal bubble than anything else.

I do agree with your points. The criticisms of modern education systems (Sir Ken Robinson and Seymour Papert come to mind, for different reasons) for their rote straight-jacket approaches seem to be coming home to roost at scale.

> the framework for basic rational thought and critical thinking was never taught

Something I'm thinking about (rhetorically) is: can this actually be taught? Or can we only provide environments of play and exploration that allow kids to learn these skills for themselves. Directly "teaching" this seems to fall into a recursive (or maybe Godel-like) situation: teach "how to think" is just another rote lesson.
No one is buying the Seal, it's the Atto 3. And 10k is about a quarter of the price, I don't know what you mean by "not a huge difference in that price range".
Non-citizens should not be participating in or fomenting political protests, especially ones that involve harassment, intimidation, destruction of private property, occupations of buildings, (all of which occurred throughout the Columbia protests).

If you are talking about deporting someone for getting a speeding ticket, that would be pretty draconian unless it was something very dangerous like doing 25 over in a school zone during school hours, etc.
A few years ago, when I was launching my startup, getting our first users felt impossible without burning through cash. Paid ads were expensive, and returns were disappointing. Every dollar spent felt like a gamble, and nothing seemed to stick. I wanted low or no cost validation. Desperate for traction, I started reaching out to other early-stage founders in a complementary domain, offering to partner with them. We’d promote each other’s products on our websites, blogs, and newsletters when relevant. No money exchanged, just mutual support.

At first, it was slow. But then, one of their blogs landed us a user. Then another. Before we knew it, we had our first 100 users, all without spending a cent. I really wish there was a tool out their that could automate the process and connect me with a bigger network of businesses.

Inspired by this, I built ReciprocalAd.com, a free platform that automatically places your ads across hundreds of different sites in the network, dynamically tests performance, and provides detailed analytics in exchange for adspace on your site—all without spending a dime.
Happy to answer any questions or discuss your own growth-hacking experiences!
It's a bidirectional relationship. The value of gold actually remained stable when the U.S. dollar was pegged to it. I view that as evidence for pegging stabilizing the value of the commodity it is pegged to. However is an simplification, because share of the dollar relative to other currencies policies has changed. I also only believe the system I depicted would work, if the exports of the commodity were restricted so that no one or only the central bank could sell it abroad.
Well dang, I guess in hospital success rates for CPR are <20% survival to discharge. Outside of hospital they are < 10% and quickly drop. Sort of terrifying, even though I've done CPR training many times for work I was of the impression that success rates were much higher.
Even Microsoft knows that there is no moat in AI models given that it is fundamentally a race to zero.

The difference is, they finally realized that after Apple almost invested but stepped back.

Perhaps they know that this hype is a repeat of being in the middle of the year 1999; or even we are close to the start of the year 2000.
If your sample is blinded yet you consistently guess correctly, then presumably either 1. you failed at blinding or 2. there is a strong and discernible effect, regardless of what your other metrics might say (your other metrics could always be flawed after all).

> no documentation of whether the events during the hour of test time were more or less stressful than those before it, and no taking the time of day, diet and exercise, sleep, location

Assuming the blinded samples are uniformly randomly distributed, and assuming the study goes on long enough, then you'd expect that stuff to average out.

But I agree, it should be recorded nonetheless. That way you can verify at the end that it did, in fact, average out as you expected. If it didn't then your data is invalid.
