Also, van Gogh's popularity came from France, the work he did in France, and in France by this time family names had been standard there for a long time already (since around the 16th century), much earlier than in the Netherlands.

Arm is not a trustworthy partner.

Otherwise they would be more than happy to renegotiate chip licences if they feel that companies have overstepped.

Instead they publicly litigate and demand destruction of all designs.
The first time I got a Toyota, I brought it for regular maintenance and they cleaned my car at the end. I was shocked because I never experienced this before, but the technician told me it was free and standard procedure.

At least they understood that if you see clean cars around you when you drive, you're more likely to buy the brand later, and keep happy clients.
Seems I angered some VW PR people
For things like this (public facing static sites) I’ve often gone for a pretty naive approach using Redis (more lately KeyDB as a drop-in alternative) to cache any static pages that SSR would be handling otherwise for a minute or so. If I needed any more performance I’d also use node:cluster to run the server on multiple threads.
This significantly improved RPS while keeping CPU usage lower because I had found that my bottleneck for most of these problems was database lookups (Postgres mostly, specifically rerequsting the same data).

The big convenience that SSR brings for most of my use cases is querying the CMS for changes and getting instant updates on the frontend without having to statically rebuild the HTML anytime content is updated. That approach allowed me to run SSR without all the performance issues it would bring otherwise.

I don’t have exact numbers but I can provide them if anyone’s interested.
Pancreatic cancer is known for being incurable, even in the best of circumstances, early diagnose or not. Having witnessed a family member go through the same thing, I understand Jobs's reaction of trying literally anything else.
Qwant is infamous in France for having made big claims and failed repeatedly. It was for the longest time just a wrapper around Bing, while claiming otherwise.
While you're debugging using AI (specifically, ChatGPT o1), you can benefit from copying stack traces. It debugs better than if you just describe what's wrong.

Another tip: I have found that it is helpful to ask AI to "deeply analyze" (use those words) and think about the problem without providing a solution (say "don't reply with any code"). If you don't do that, it will take its first guess and then eagerly start outputing code that is still wrong and doesn't really identify or fix the issue. When you ask it to deeply analyze what's wrong and not reply with any code, it frequently finds the true underling problem, and then you can ask for how to solve it in the next step.
Yes.

Well, instead of an actual web link, you could just mention that it's from the New Yorker.
I hope this causes a catastrophe somewhere. This might be the warning shot that humanity needs to wake up, before we hook up spiking neuromorphic hardware to run agents.

TL;DR; performance isn't bad, but perf per Watt isn't better than 4080 or 4090 and can even be significantly lower than 4090 in certain contexts.
> There’s also Google Wallet, née Google Pay, née Google Wallet.

I'm pretty sure you can only be born once.

I guess it could be "Google Wallet, né Google Wallet, rené Google Pay".
Yesssss, I'd rather have those people working in renewable energy or some other future tech, but that industry was broken down as we all remember... So I guess we have to live with armaments for the moment. :-/
> Why do you only pay the minimum amount of tax?

You didn’t pose the question to me. And yet.

Very many people don’t. We know there are constructs that would enable us to pay less, yet we choose to not pursue them. We are part of a society that enables us to be what we are, why should we strive to give as little as possible in return?

(And yes, we also don’t send extra money. This is not a contradiction.)
They are useful sure, and I print a stacktrace on any type of error/exception, but often breaking into the debugger is even more useful and faster as you can see local variables, program state, and what other threads happen to be doing.
This is the right answer. But use the .test domain as this is meant for the usecase.
Not OP. But it's hard to untangle this entire mess. On the one hand, this person & party is kind of the "choice" made by a large chunk of the people as per the votes, and yet (if true) he's broken certain laws that somehow invalidate said votes.

How do we take this and not see that Democracy is only "Of course it's what the people want! But only if they want it the way we say they can and only if the candidate isn't X/Y/Z."

Like at the very least there should be a mechanism that transforms this kind of election result oddity into a new referendum of sorts so that the people feel like they've at least been heard and that it was all legitimate. Or perhaps a cooling-off period where said campaign finance law implications "wear off" and then the applicable party gets a new election, especially if they won a non-insignificant amount of votes.

Because right now, all that people are seeing is: Popular candidate that's anti-EU and anti-Ukraine Involvement is being de-platformed and kept off the ballot by the EU. Are we trying to make Romania blow up, or are we using this as proof to show the populace "you belong to us, do as you are told, plebs".
I have fetchmail running, it's slow, but I'm getting all of my emails delivered (I have a forward to protonmail to compare).

EDIT: I don't have visibility for emails not forwarded during the initial outage so nothing before 07:30 UTC yesterday.
Qwant has had its own index too, but it's smaller, probably meant to serve the French market. When they don't have coverage, they fall back to Bing, which in my case is all the time.

Therefore, I hope they invest more in their own index and stop being so reliant on Bing.
You're probably thinking of "Performance Matters" by Emery Berger, a Strange Loops talk. https://youtube.com/watch?v=r-TLSBdHe1A
Ye but narrower and pushed by publishing pressure I think.
How does this change the equation on a fundamental level?
It's such a funny and incredibly stupid rhetoric to blame the "woke".
maybe my settings were off but i tried aider when it first came out and kept coming back to it and it ended up being super slow and generating subpar stuff compared to just chat. actually turned me off to CLI based style code assistants.

claude code blew my mind, however. really great for refactoring existing stuff with a proper CLAUDE.md file or one-shotting small features. i mainly use it for scaffolding, sounding board and refactoring but it's been a game changer (albeit more expensive).

still like to use boring chat-based and pasting back and forth as it helps me approach and understand issues better for later on. i find generating huge blocks of code/files to feel like magic but then u dig into a bug later and find the LLM wrote or structured a bunch of semi-garbage that you have to undo.
You covered all the points I was going to make. As part of the pre-internet generation that grew up with radio and a ham radio operator since my school years this is second nature and common sense to me.

It is interesting that governments have long recognised the power of shortwave such that they have restricted what a citizen can do with it. In wartime, ham radio is usually made illegal. The recipient of a broadcast cannot be detected (save some very local factors - meters range) which is why governments around the world still use shortwave number stations to transmit coded instructions to spies.

I suspect the removal of AM radio in EVs is also because the cost to RF shield the car against EM emissions in that frequency range was deemed too high for the audience it would address, and maybe just lazy or engineering too. Agree, very short sighted.

Hell, even the BBC in the UK is closing down local AM transmitters on cost grounds (but I suspect there is political pressure to move the masses to digital UHF infrastructure).

A medium wave/shortwave transmitter is the ultimate in post apocalyptic film memes!
It's got a Search section for looking up new apps, and an Updates section for maintaining already installed ones. There's nothing else I need nor want from an "appstore".

The only gripe I have is that screenshots on individual apps pages can sometimes be slow to download, but that gripe is so small I'm looking at it through a microscope. :)

There was Stabilizer [1] which did this, although it is no longer maintained and doesn't work with modern versions of LLVM. I think there is something more current now that automates this, but can't remember what it's called.

I've been writing code that implements tournament algorithms for games. You'd think an LLM would excel at this because it can explain the algorithms to me. I've been using cline on lots of other tasks to varying success. But it just totally failed with this one: it kept writing edge cases instead of a generic implementation. It couldn't write coherent enough tests across a whole tournament.

So I wrote tests thinking it could implement the code from the tests, and it couldn't do that either. At one point it went so far with the edge cases that it just imported the test runner into the code so it could check the test name to output the expected result. It's like working with a VW engineer.

Edit: I ended up writing the code and it wasn't that hard, I don't know why it struggled with this one task so badly. I wasted far more time trying to make the LLM work than just doing it myself.
Not to throw this discussion on too long a tangent, but this honestly reads in exactly the same way as fawning comments about Putin "saving his country" by presiding over a period of record-high oil prices.

On the bright side, he and his cronies didn't steal absolutely everything, and some scraps made it to the rest of the population.

Mozilla's leadership is a cancer that will kill it, and will take the work of many good, talented technical people down the drain. IRL parallels abound.
Show me a C compiler that miscompiles the following code and I'll concede the point:

It's not just about tracking productivity, it's about the words he chose to say that.

Bezos also bought the WaPo and exert tight control over its editorial line so it can act as its own propaganda machine.

While not as ostensibly evil as Musk (likely because unlike the former, he's not high on drugs all the time), Bezos is still pretty close to a Bond villain.
I don't carry around sources for well established industry wide facts which you can verify yourself by opening your eyes. Do you carry around a source that proves that using a keyboard to type is faster than using morse code?

James Hoffman (coffee professional, winner of WBC) discusses the obscurity of single dose baskets in his video here. He mentions they're not often used in the home because he is discussing home espresso but the 50 caveats of single dose baskets apply to the industry too.

Could the UK thus be Europe's Trojan horse of support? If the US can't switch them off (allegedly), can they use their supply chains to support the rest of Europe?

They may lack the scale, but perhaps that can be built up.
Note that 210 mcg/L is 210 ng/milliliter. The molecular weight of norharman is 168.2 g/mol, so the concentration is about 1250 nM/L.

Coupled with frequency of coffee intake and accounting for storage in adipose tissue, levels in vivo could easily exceed binding affinities after just days or weeks of coffee use.
No, but it's a lot higher cost than some sore arms.
> There was a point in my road trip when I was on top of a mountain, and it said I would reach the next charger 100km away with 20km of range remaining, but I was only at 90km at the time. I made it with 17km of range remaining.

Just 2 points missing.

1. The sale of planes like the F-35 is not just about the plane. It’s about the ability to be a nation with nuclear power by “renting” the US nuclear missile it can launch. People bought it mainly for that. The pilot and YouTuber ATE Chuet did a video talking about this if you want to dive into it.

2. The plane in itself is not as capable as say the Rafale. They tried to do way too many things with it. The vertical takeoff capability in particular made the plane worst in every other aspect and its own design is very questionable. A Dassault engineer talks about it in this video [1]

Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

The US is actively stopping honouring its international engagements and relations. It’s already starting to have an effect. Confidence once lost is hard to regain the same goes for trust.
> I have the impression that we'd usually expect to see bigger efficiency gains while these are marginal?

The 50-series is made using the same manufacturing process ("node") as the 40-series, and there is not a major difference in design.

So the 50-series is more like tweaking an engine that previously topped out at 5000 RPM so it's now topping out at 6000 RPM, without changing anything fundamental. Yes it's making more horsepower but it's using more fuel to do so.

Great point. I've found it's very often possible to understand and fix problems "one shot" from stack traces alone — and we're talking production builds here... So I wouldn't turn them off, (an idea mentioned in the article), unless profiling shows that they are one of the last things preventing the code from reaching the target performance.
Democracy rely on people being able to vote for those who best represent their interest.

when company sell people's profile and allow political parties to target them with personalized advertisement,

When journalists are allowed to be completely biased that no one trust them anymore,

When fake news are allowed to be spread across social networks without any obstacle,

You remove people's right to make an educated vote on who is best going to represent their interest.

So yeah chrome, Google and other data harvester are part of the problem with some social network and the unregulation of such an important democracy tool that is journalism.
The article is really lacking all details.

Is this a fighting ship, or materials transport, or something else? Is it intended to go from A to B, or to go out and patrol around and come back? How far away does it go from its base?
Good for them while the other elections with Russian shills were not called off. So now you have Russian shills elected in Austria, Germany, UK, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech.

Also disturbing that openly fascist supporters are even in government, cultural organizations and press editorials in most Western European nations.

It became a huge mess.
Strong disagree. Using capitalization for access control is ridiculously obvious and simple and clear. Sure, things like "Printf" look odd for a little while.
"I have never had a long-running node application that hasn't leaked memory. It's more a matter of if your application will be OOM killed in 2 days or 2 weeks. Debugging memory leaks in node is a nightmare"

“The Molecule of More” is a really good science based book on exactly that - drive, reward, and inhibition. I don’t know a better source that explains dopamine-and-friends in a more concise yet palatable way.

I wasn't even aware I was ingesting B6, I was just taking the tablets for the magnesium (it was one of the few with the full 440mg dose I was recommended).

Blood tests since then have shown that my B6 levels are fine with my usual diet, I don't take multivitamins or supplements anymore.

I don't know much about B6 beyond my own experiences with it, so all I can say is make sure you've discussed it with your GP, and be aware of the coasting effect if you do happen to develop any neuropathic symptoms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megavitamin-B6_syndrome

> i tried aider when it first came out and kept coming back to it and it ended up being super slow and generating subpar stuff

I had very similar results. I discovered Aider & Claude-code at the same time. I even tried Aider with Claude 3.7 (with thinking), and it just wasn't as good. I think it's a lot more annoying to use and set up, a bit more conservative in how it tries to understand your project, where claude-code has no problems scanning your entire codebase.

Same. When an LLM generates code in a simple chat, it's always a bit more abstract, which is a good thing. Some of the things claude-code generated turned out to be garbage.
Most NIMBY movements don't rely on democratic majorities. Often, it is "just" work of a tiny minority of very dedicated people who found out ways to hijack the standard mechanisms to the detriment of supermajorities.

And part of European aid has gone directly to US economy to buy stuff for Ukraine.
As a side thought: it is oft remarked in the defence industry circles how buying local might be more expensive but more of the money stays at home.

Quite apart from any sovereignty arguments, cash spent at home goes to purchase of hopefully local components, materials, all along paying for local salaries, which drives local economies. And this is taxed along the way too, as income tax, VAT and ultimate corporate tax.

I wonder if that's really true to a significant amount, and if so, how much does that matter. Eg if I can buy something for X abroad, or c*X locally, for what value of c is this overall breakeven?
EPA is a comparison tool, not a range estimation for everyone's regular drives.
The labour theory of value that you allude to here makes no sense. People are paid at the market price based on supply and demand, just like other goods and services.

Tech employees don't "bring in" the company's revenue. That makes the mistake of attributing the products and services of a business to its workers.

>wages haven't tracked productivity growth since the 1970s.

Propaganda. Productivity growth literally is just wage growth, by definition. It is impossible for them not to track each other.
I don't think it is a necessity. People just don't generally have patience.

Generally people driving classic/collectible cars usually run at or below speed limits and...they are fine. You just have to embrace being overtaken by everyone.

I've had some luck instructing AI to "Don't make up anything. If there's no answer, say I don't know".

Which made me think that AI would be far more useful (for me?) if it was tuned to "Dutchness" rather than "Americanness".

"Dutch" famously known for being brutally blunt, rude, honest, and pushing back.

Yet we seem to have "American" AI, tuned to "the customer is always right", inventing stuff just to not let you down, always willing to help even if that makes things worse.

Not "critical thinking" or "revolutionary" yet. Just less polite and less willing to always please you. In human interaction, the Dutch bluntness and honesty can be very off-putting, but It is quite efficient and effective. Two traits I very much prefer my software to have. I don't need my software to be polite or to not hurt my feelings. It's just a tool!
