i think anyone researching whatever in their home is doing 'science'

but this isn't the case! i linked in an answer to my post what science knows when measuring stress... it's far away from a self-reported subjective question

i think the problem is whatever you post on the internet is politic. it may have a huge reach, and so far so good people trying far from lethal doses of theanine. now, what if an influencer wants to make their stuff look intellectual and go buy pure caffeine? how about the people coming after wards?

one thing is a 3D-print project at your garage on keyboards ergonomics, home automation, another is rock-climbing gear and another is substances with reachable lethal doses where the masses can buy (not the case here but again, i cited caffeine but there's much more). the author has a stellar presentation but they seriously researched what science does when measuring stress? they didn't even considered The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), which is used on professional research.
i stand against public posts with badly methods (or the complete lack of research) suppressed by fancy graphics on substance use/abuse. i also bet isn't that hard to buy empty pills with opaque color
You still haven't cited any sources that support your claim.
I tried to find related code with iam and msk in the file names and failed. To get authenticated with MSK, need to get proper signed and pass to the MSK endpoints. Maybe AWS SDK team are just too busy or not get enough customer ask(escalations?) for using C++ to access MSK cluster with IAM only auth.
> This isn’t like pure scientific pursuit of knowledge but a more practical day to day ability to question, understand and gather new information with the purpose of developing an objective understanding of the world.

you've just described scientific persuit.

Just because the object of said persuit pertains to everyday life, doesn't mean it isn't scientific. The goal of science is to understand truth, and discern it from falsehoods (which might appear true intuitively).

Science isn't about researching niche, or cutting edge things. It's about the method, rigor and ability to change one's mind based on evidence regardless of priors.

Just as an aside, while the developed world is worried about rare earths and China's monopoly, I wonder why no one is investing in Vietnam, where they have the second largest deposit and have been producing rare earths for years? In fact, some contacts there have said that their biggest concern is not mining and production, but rather having long-term and stable sales contracts.

Of course, demand fluctuates and the market price is not stable. Large scale mining is capital intensive and prone to pollution. But is there more to it? I dig a little deeper and find out that in 2022 the USGS estimated the rare earth deposits in Vietnam to be around 22 million (metric) tons, but in 2024 reduced its estimate to only 3.5 million tons. A reduction of almost 10 times points to the problem here: nobody knows for sure how much is really there, which makes large investments very risky. I think the situation is the same elsewhere. And that makes Trump's craze with rare earths a bit suspect.

I have a pretty weak opinion of the nypost

Lines like this certainly don’t help:

> He’s been a regular fixture on news programs discussing the group’s disruptive efforts, including an interview on Quds News Network done completely in Arabic

Why is it relevant that he did an interview in Arabic? Like seriously?

As others have said the rest reads as just guilt by association.

To be maximally fair to the other position it has made me reluctant to protest against Israel despite being broadly against them. There are too many people in that movement who are clearly racist, but it’s also unfortunate that pro Israeli forces campaign hard to conflate opposition to Israel with opposition to Jewish people

The different categories are worth considering separately.

PowerShell is more than just "similar" to Windows PowerShell; it's a slightly-backwards-incompatible new version with cross-platform support. With cross-platform support, the old name didn't make sense any more; and presenting it as a "new" product solved the issue of people complaining when they upgraded and things broke. (Same thing they did with .NET.) I don't know what else they could have done here.

"Copilot" is Microsoft's name for their LLM functionality across all their products. Question in, slop out. That's entirely consistent. I'm not sure what difference you're even seeing between "Copilot" (which Copilot?) and "Github Copilot".

Azure DevOps was them renaming an existing product to coopt a better-known brand name. Same with Visual Studio for Mac. (Visual Studio Code and Azure Data Studio were similar - although those weren't renames but rather a new product trying to steal mindshare.) This is the only category I'd really call "terrible".
"Spolia" is a fun architectural term for this sort of material reuse, particularly with the more interesting decorative pieces. Many of those stones taken from ancient buildings have become notable newer ancient buildings in their own right.

That's monster-ish.
I sincerely doubt much is left of those self-correcting mechanism in the US. They are being deconstructed at high pace currently, and not even in secret, and apart from a delay by a judge here and there, it's crickets.

We will see what man made disasters the current (and future) US adminstration will cause. By every measure it looks like they are determined to find out the hard way.
I don’t think the article even was so bold as to say his organization distributed pro Hamas flyer. They say someone at the protest did and leave it to your inference that it was the org he leads
Cooked means "you're finished, it's over, no return", it's a really definitive term which I'm opposed to by philosophy
In the US, you don't have to do anything. If they are not responsive without a pulse you can legally administer CPR with the "good Samaritan" laws. However it's extremely unlikely to actually work in the best of conditions. We were taught as EMTs that it's really for the bystanders to have something to do. Unless there's an AED, it almost never works, but hey you may as well try.
it kinda always was calvinball, we just had administrations less keen on pulling out the cruelest interpretation of the laws.
I think you missed the point. The claim is that it would have cost you more to hire a person to do what either claude code or aider did.
where it leads?
> It was created by Congress in 1961, but destroyed by the ire of one man in 2025, without any Congressional approval. Does it feel like democracy to you?

Are you suggesting what he did was unconstitutional? If so, Congress can (and should) absolutely impeach him for it and make him defend his actions in court. The President is not above the law.

Or did Congress give the President the authority he needed to do exactly what he did? In which case, what is more democratic than a body of democratically elected represetitives voting democratically to pass a law which establishes something under the control (and disgression) of a democratically elected executive?

This is an awesome article. I'm a HAM in an urban area trying to figure out how to operate in the mess that is my EM spectrum with low power gear. It's a fun challenge, but having some quiet would be nice!

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing this site, but I did have the opportunity to visit Sugar Grove Station (not too far away) while it was in operation. I had a friend stationed there while I was nearby, and took a detour to spend the weekend at his house on the base.

Seeing the massive old radio telescopes and the tracks they used for positioning them was something else. The scale is hard to communicate; it's kind of like the first time you get up close with a Navy Aircraft Carrier. It's hard to fathom just how BIG they are until you are next to them.
Good stuff! A fun challenge.
This is not sounding like something modern then, if anything it's sounding like it's always been bad and we're only now recognizing(or having the channels to openly discuss) how bad it is.
> and what are you really gaining from super readable code, really? Maybe a few minutes?

Wat?? Try a few billion dollars. No one wants to work in a high performance unreadable mess of a service. Otherwise, high-level languages wouldn’t be so common. Python community eats all the other communities for breakfast because of how readable it is. Everyone loves it despite the sluggishness.

Same reason the Rust community and ecosystem are tiny compared to Go, even though it’s “SO’s most loved language or whatever that means.” We could just rawdog machine instructions if all that mattered was performance. Readability matters, and it deserves all the attention it gets and then some.
Without Cymer (based in San Diego) ASML is nothing.
It’s not a Boolean.

Traditionally in the US, monopolies are managed by either forcing breakup/divestiture (the the company is already a monopoly) or regulating the maximum market share consolidation (preventing mergers which consolidate beyond that threshold).

And tech is different from agriculture. Governments will go overboard to prevent famine or hyperinflation of food prices because both with cause massive political and social instability. Tech doesn’t (currently) plan an equivalent role in our lives, so people could tolerate monopolistic behavior in tech longer than in core agriculture.
Europe re-arming is a side effect of Trump signalling he will not defend them against Russia.

> and transgenders are to blame for pushing things too far

What did I just read? Do you honestly believe that <0.1% of the population is "taking things too far" and need rights taken away from them.

Is that something you actually believe, and if so how do you justify it to yourself?

> To give you an example, that "We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children" chant in NYC was intolerable.

Sure, but is a measured response to "one small group saying something edgy at one rally" -> "take away their rights"?

I don't think so, but I'd be interested to hear why you think so.
My post above was with sonnet-3.5. When I used sonnet-3.7, it didn't speculate at the files at all; it simply requested that I add the appropriate ones.
You are wrong. I'm someone who immigrated to the US so I'm deeply aware of the situation.

Permanent resident isn't the same as a citizen. Until you become a citizen there are still limitations to the things you can do, for example vote, go on a jury, etc. And you can lose your PR if you stay out of the US too long or if you commit certain crimes. And endorsing terrorism absolutely can get you stripped of your PR.

Once you are a naturalized citizen, then the bar for losing your citizenship is much higher, usually you need to have lied during the immigration application. But even commiting an especially heinous crime won't get your stripped of your citizenship.

ASML acquired Cymer in 2013 to accelerate the development of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) semiconductor lithography. Based in San Diego, California, Cymer was founded in 1986 by two college friends Robert Akins and Richard Sandstrom to develop laser and lithography light source technology for the semiconductor industry.

I can't imagine whatever Cymer is doing is completely hidden from the parent company and that it's non-replicatable anywhere else in the world?

Maybe there is some way the IP is blocked from ASML on national security grounds or something, I don't know, but what I do know, is their mutual destruction for the sake of some crusade against something ridiculous like "the woke mind virus" is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

There has been zero reason given for this attack on Europe.
> start pumping up the prices again

what stops new entrants from reaping this price rise? Your monopoly would have to prevent new entrants from even starting. That would be where monopoly laws come into effect.

Gotcha, I totally misread that one.

I would assume the same goes for some Democratic voters as well. There's a lot of hate thrown across the aisle in both directions these days. Maybe it comes more frequently from Trump's supporters, I don't know, but I've been surprised by how much blatant disregard, disrespect, and animosity I've heard from those on the left. The idea of voting for Trump was so foreign to many in the Biden/Harris bubble that anyone willing to vote for Trump must have been crazy or less than.

I didn't vote for Trump (or Harris), but working in the tech industry and mostly around people who would consider themselves progressive or liberal has been pretty eye opening the last few elections. Everyone wants to be inclusive unless its political and they strongly disagree with the other side.
Cowabunga!
That still leaves a small percentage of those to survive and continue their lives, I’d say it’s worth it. My father was probably killed by CPR as we found out at autopsy that he had aortic aneurism, an aortic fissure that ruptured badly during CPR. And yet ER tried their best and was his only chance of survival.
A local discount grocery chain near me hasn't had shortages nor have they inflated prices. Store brand eggs are $6 for 18. This is in an area where groceries are normally quite expensive.

Naturally they could have it be a loss leader, but then I would expect them to be curtailing quantities. The shelves are fully stocked every time I'm there.

The other chains, all more expensive, have half or third stocked shelves and a dozen eggs is $7-8 and up.

The egg "shortage" is manufactured bullshit. There's only a handful of major egg producers and they're clearly in collusion.

Just like the shortages that supposedly lasted a while during the pandemic; CEOs were bragging on earnings that they had raised prices more than their costs went up, and they kept them high after costs dropped - they decided to keep them high because people would pay that.

Apparently they don't care that a lot of things folks in poverty / low income buy...aren't discretionary spending.

Java as a language totally lets you do this (and it's great!) but you'll be fighting the "culture" if you work like this in a bigger org.

In enterprise you have template repos and engineering fora where teams standardise-ish how things are done. This converges on the standard patterns, Spring, Micronaut etc.

Usually, you can deviate from these patterns at team discretion but you'll get questions from EMs and frowns from devs who roll on / off your project.
This seems to align with the article. The article states 3 to 5 percent decline after 2021. I see about the same in this graph.
I don't think it's really an appeal to authority. No one is saying it must be true because this guy says its true. However, when a very respected figure in software engineer culture like Steve Yegge gives an opinion, that is more noteworthy than when random joe schmo gives his opinion. The fact that you don't know who he is means it's not interesting to you. Clearly, it's noteworthy to others.

A year ago it looked like Microsoft had an insurmountable lead thanks to their investment in OpenAI. Microsoft has wasted their lead. Copilot is definitely not worth $30 per month, not when there are free offerings that work better. ChatGPT should have given Bing a big boost but Microsoft didn't execute well. You know who has executed well? Perplexity.ai. Perplexity shows what a modern AI-enabled search engine can do.
Denisova cave has been known for about 150 years or so. Back in the 1970s, the Soviet Union sent some archaeologists out to see what was in the cave. They found some upper paleolithic stuff (e.g. like what the article is about), as well as some mousterian stuff (very weird this far north and east). They did excavations over the next couple of decades and eventually, some of the dating/sequencing technology improved to the point where it could actually be used on the cave artifacts. That's when they discovered denisovans and immediately made the cave one of the most important archaeological sites on the planet. There's been no lack of funding since.
Like it or not, AGPL is a free software license. It only says that even if you provide the service as a SaaS, you share the code if you change it.

You may dislike that particular family of licenses, but it doesn’t allow you to give false information about it. Maybe it’s not intentional, so you need to refresh your understanding. We’re humans, and our brains are not tapes. Knowledge distorts. I experience the same.

GPL says something simple: “Modified the code? Share it. Oh, BTW, you can’t change the license.” The rest is legalese.

> Not just the reasons, but the extent to which he is willing to circumvent established systems of how basically everything works is much more concerning than attempting to pass EOs that are eventually struck down in the courts.

Hope you don't mind me continuing to pull on this thread, I'm genuinely interested to better understand where you have drawn the line here.

Biden was circumventing established systems when he tried to cancel student debts. He even tried again when the first attempt was blocked. Our higher education system, legal framework around student debt, and the debt industry as a whole was very well established and legally defined.

What is so different with Trump's executive orders? I get that you disagree with them, I disagree with many of them too, but legally I just don't see much light between the two. They both abuse executive orders in an attempt to Dodge existing legislation on the books and make change that the office has no authority to make.

These things exist on a spectrum of features but they are all mapping tables to objects at the end of the day at the bare minimum. Pedantry around what technically should count as an ORM is not super productive. The fact is that defining a schema in one place and getting a whole slew of features out of that automatically is multiplicative to productivity.
In 2006 my friend and I decided to stop talking about visiting the NRAO and actually go. We picked a weekend and then discovered that that Sunday was the 50th Anniversary open house! There were special exhibits and more of the facilities were open to tours than on regular visitors days. I can highly recommend visiting if you get the chance.

Coincidentally, my friend's last name is Blonder! And he's related to the Blonder-Tongue founder. According to my friend, all Blonders are related, the family name was originally Gottlieb, but was changed to something more Anglo sounding, to avoid anti-semitic discrimination, probably when they immigrated to the US from Russia.
Not everyone uses it (or their language equivalent) frequently depending on the needs of their project. If I'm really using it frequently, then I would probably be looking at higher accuracy/resiliency options like parsing the input and comparing to a map, or regexes.
