For all we know, the US was coordinating extradition or release into their home country. A person attempting to illegally crossing the border (such as the two in the article) have committed a crime and could be held on that alone - yet they were released back to their home country. Seems like a pretty good ending for them, unless you are advocating they should be charged and imprisoned here for longer?
I guess the current thread and this other ongoing one are duals:

>Driving a gyrobus has the added complexity that the flywheel acts as a gyroscope that will resist changes in orientation, for example when a bus tilts while making a turn, assuming that the flywheel has a horizontal rotation axis.

He also created the Githzerai/Githyanki, so other ways of creating cults seem easier.
Exactly. The US has revealed itself to be prone to wild swings of policy, which will not be a lesson soon forgotten by prior trade allies.

Even if sanity and democracy are brought back by a future adminstration, the US public have proven they can't be trusted not to vote in another clone of their current dictator. DJT Jnr and Barron will probably have a shot at the title in the not too distant future to maintain some kind of North Korean-like dynasty.

There's enough of an undercurrent of overconfident, no-consequence, chest thumping "individuality and independence" in the US that, unless complete ruination occurs this time around, they'll vote for having another bash at complete ruination.

Good trade relations is what keeps the trust and respect for the laws of the US in place in other developed countries. Copyright for example. If the US isn't a reliable trade partner then their power to influence copyright laws around the world would rapidly diminish, which Disney wouldn't be happy with. (I'm sure there are other examples of this, but international US copyright Law is one I'm vaguely familiar with. Use of the US Dollar for trade is another possible avenue for decline of US global influence).

Yes, the US could be self sufficient to keep it's entire population alive and well, but not with the lifestyles to which many of them have become accustomed.

The German tourist is a tattoo artist traveled with her gear. Based on another article (in German) she used a tourist visa but had clients lined up. She should've used a business visa.

[edit] Found an article with more info "[her US friend] told CNN that her German friend was joining her in Los Angeles to tattoo her. She speculated that immigration officials may have misinterpreted Brösche’s statements about the project as a declaration that she’d come to the US to work." https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/04/world/german-detained-ice...

The money were NOT allocated by an Executive Order. They were properly apportioned through Congress.
Fair enough. I've never used Bitwarden or Grammarly. I used to have a lot of crashes, but they've improved in the last 6 months and I never had tabs freezing or ghost tabs, and I always have 300+ tabs open. Maybe our different use styles lead to different outcomes!
Some corners are bigger around than others. I don't think credible technologists have put single-digit years (base 10) on their predictions. We had bases on the dark side of the moon by 1999, according to one TV show, but that was just Hollywood TV show writing.

That's a bummer. Altimeters are relatively simple and defined hardware as far as I know. Send a ping, receive a ping, calculate. Too bad they didn't incorporate a backup solution.

It’s rough out there, I see former coworkers laid off last year and the year before still struggling to find work
IANAL, but if you've read all of the questions, they include some incredibly broad things like the one about having ever committed a crime, even if not charged, convicted, etc. that you can find on the I-485.

I've heard it said by lawyers that you're not qualified to know whether or not you've committed a federal crime and some of those are quite broad - see this illustration for a few ideas in that vein: https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=1008 - but even then, one "out" is that my understanding is that you have to actually commit fraud here.

So maybe if you violated some incredibly broad provision, but were never charged or convicted and literally didn't even know it was a law, you could defend yourself by pointing that out and arguing that because of that, you haven't committed actual "fraud" even if your answer was wrong.

But in general, yes, you should be honest on all the forms and engage with a legal professional if you're ever in trouble. I've heard that this area of law is all that well tested, so we'll have to see what the courts do with it. In fact, we suffered some significant delays in our immigration journey due to being honest, but I don't regret that one bit.
That kind of thinking (neglecting a broken lock on the back door, because I figured chances were low that someone would take advantage) got my apartment "broken" in to a few years ago.
This is heavily dependent on your neighborhood, obviously. I've never seen people trying random doors because I'm always asleep when they do it.
>All labour is exploited, even the most pampered employees

Look up what exploitation is.

>That's why it's important that even those most well-paid and well-treated employees lend their support to others through supporting unions and the global labour movement.

What union is Tim Cook part of?
> In any case, it's mind boggling how a multi billion dollar company lacks proper rollout strategies.

Having worked for several billion-dollar companies, I can tell you it's very common. The extremely short answer to why is "silos on silos on silos on silos". Quite often, each team rolls things out however the hell they feel like. And the teams don't have very good people on them. It doesn't have to be this way, but the people at these companies simply don't give a shit about doing it in a better way. Bad leadership ensures it continues.
If it works (reasonably) it works, and it throws wrenches into the gears of security researchers when the code isn't the usual, immediately recognizable S boxes and other patterns or library calls.
Decline of job LISTINGS. This seems to have nothing to do with jobs whatsoever.
Yeah well Chinese salaries without life sucking requires "socialism", i.e. the government provides some useful benefits, that doesn't happen in the USA.
But Trump is also saying that he wants to get rid of income taxes and replace them with tariffs. That suggests that they do want to actually collect tariff dollars long term.
It's not that I think they're some sort of potential foreign occupation force. It's just oddly symbolic and weird, and their powers to detain people, etc. seem entirely problematic in the current context.
>> Behind each of the stoic virutues is a psychological position to dettach, dissociate and live in a more abstracted conceptual space.

You and I have a very different understanding of stoicism. Stoicism's concept of attachment is much more closer to a Daoist/Buddhist one. They don't advocate renouncing the world in fact the opposite - how to live fully. Just that don't cling to things - especially the results as a lot of factors that affect it are not under our control and when things don't happen the way we were forcing them to happen, resentment and anger follows. This can be applied to work, relationship, parenting. It is quite practical.

It is fascinating that these two different cultures developed similar philosophies around the same time in history.

One needs to let go of the medieval/modern interpretation of stoicism which creates such resentment and approach it from a more eastern perspective.
Which raises the question: has that also not been rigged?

Wasn't one of the DOGE employee working on vote bulletin validation and tampering in the past?
The US doesn't need to prove to the world that a bad president will never be elected again, which as you say is probably impossible and definitely false. What the US can do to rejoin the world in something akin to its former capacity is to walk back the extreme levels of authority granted to an individual who changes every four years (why is the executive able to change tariff levels every day?) in a way that relatively elevates rule of law and deliberative, compromising decision making.

I would rather see Orion on Firefox.
You can read the article - it literally lays out how Congress has approved these actions.

The story is written with a specific slant on purpose. "House Republicans Block..." then later admits Republicans control the House which means this is working exactly as intended. Again, you just aren't happy with the results.

Vote in the midterms if you're so upset. Otherwise, business as usual.
They wanted a browser they have full control over. And you can move much faster when you don’t have to negotiate every change with third parties. Also, Firefox 1.0 and Chrome 1.0 were released within months of each other (though Firefox 0.x had existed for a little while), so Firefox wasn’t that established yet. The main competition at the time was Microsoft Internet Explorer with over 90% market share.
Not to be overly pessimistic but for now, I've seen them mostly create more crap we don't need at a much faster rate.

Not entirely sure we've predicted the future well here. I can for sure see a future where the problem is going to be oversupply of ill fitted solutions.
> intended to be sent upstream to the Mozilla Firefox

This part is difficult if you actually want those changes to be accepted.

I recently had a patch accepted into Firefox. More than three months from submission to merge, including one round of code review which I turned around the same day. It was not a large patch. This is no criticism of the Firefox team, just the reality that my priorities are not their priorities.

They don't necessarily have the bandwidth or interest in accepting other people's/teams' vision or contribution.
I hope it leads to stronger checks and balances.
I was about to say, “don't give him any ideas”, but it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway.
> They don’t really want to collect tariff $. [...] Or am I missing something here?

You may have missed where Trump and apparatchiks repeatedly stated they want to collect so many billions of dollars from tariffs that it replaces Federal Income Tax. [0]

Do they really want that in their souls? With the benefit of the past few years, I say that's the wrong question. Hanlon's Razor [1] fails on some pathological inputs, flavors of bullshit that cause it to time-out and situations where the costly result has no practical value. Sometimes it's just malcompetence.

I giggled out loud reading this. SUSE has by far the worst support I've ever interfaced with. The only outage and data loss I've witnessed that involved lawyers and settled way in the client's favor was due to SUSE. Whomever buys into this is truly a sucker.
So... can I get 314159 by setting the time_step and start_time to a specific value? (With either hash algorithms like SHA-1 or SHA-512).
But licensing is a very obfuscatory word. What are the terms of the licenses? Consumers don't really know and they vary widely anyway.

Buying may have been a misnomer but it had some useful baggage that is shed with the terminology shift.
I think the idea is definitely to trigger a recession, but I doubt they care about "allies"; this crowd loved the zero-interest rate days. A strong enough recession should bring those back without the drama of the president forcing the fed chief to do so through coercion.
Kerning lets letters be spaced more uniformly, which is easier to read for most of us.

It also allows letters to crowd each other like friends in a wacky group photo, a tree overhanging a sidewalk, or a cat's tail doing its weird contortions. Fonts are fun.

It’s worth the trouble I think, but there are options if you’d rather not support it.
And yet, increasing calories will cause you to gain weight; cutting calories will cause you to lose weight; increasing activity will cause you to lose weight; and decreasing activity will cause you to gain weight.

Yes, it's complicated and there's subtleties; but CICO is the main truth of dieting, and trying to downplay its primacy is misguided or deceptive.
I don't know if it did or didn't. Another comment says it didn't and you can verify this by monitoring its power and network usage, but...

I have not done this verification myself. I assume that every device and every piece of software is collecting data on me. I take some steps to reduce it (uBlock Origin in my browser, PiHole on my phone, don't use a fucking Amazon Echo), but I've just come to accept that companies don't give a shit about privacy and will get to know as much as they can about me so they can try to sell me things.

This headline is one of those things where if you're caught off-guard and are surprised, you're terrifyingly naive. Be upset, sure, but don't be surprised.
I'm honestly not sure how you can read that article and see it as Congress balancing the executive branch. Blocking future ability to do something is not the same thing as "approving" or "balancing" executive power. The fact that Republicans are claiming that this is a good balance of power doesn't mean it is. This was a vote by congress, to restrict congress's ability to act in the future. That is not the way the system is designed to work.

Not exactly related, but I wonder sometimes if the fact that the weights in current models are very expansive to change is a feature and not a "bug".

Somehow, it feels harder to trust a model that could evolve over time. It's performance might even degrade. That's a steep price to pay for having memory built in and a (possibly) self-evolving model.

The idea of reading anything AI generated repells me. Just reading the headlines is something i also have zero interest in- i see them as a filter to get to the interesting stuff and i demand authenticity and senserity of anything i consider to read or consume.

You guys need to stop AI generating or the internet will be a complete mess very soon. No genuine beeing will ever read that trash and your lifetime will be needlessly wasted.

The fact that you are overwhelmed by tech and business news is concerning. Go outside, look at the birds and trees- your body and soul will be thankful.
Ok, so this comment makes it seem that you think it is not possible for Congress to undermine the system of checks and balances, since anything congress does, is, by definition, something that Congress has approved, and therefore, it's the system working as intended. That is a truly baffling view.

I don’t think Postgres will be able to benefit from direct io? I might be wrong though!

I use Postgres with 32K BLKSZ.

I am actually using default 128K zfs recordsize, in a mixed workload, I found overall performance nicer than matching at 32K, and compression is way better.

Wheels is an interesting analogy. Wheels are more efficient now that we have roads. But there could never have been evolutionary pressure to make them before there were roads. Wheels are also a lot easier to get to work than robotic legs and so long as there’s a road do a lot more than robotic legs.
It's the most effective way I've found to lose weight. I don't think it's doing anything magical to my metabolism. Like you say, it's just a convenient and easy-to-maintain way of eating less. I just know that I don't eat anything in a day until after I get home from work, and I don't even have to think about it.
I'm hoping that the Democrats (and sympathetic Republicans) started working on a plan for this a few weeks ago. It needs to be comprehensive, and it needs to deal with both houses being majority single party, and deal with the ability for a president to select appointees to the powerful roles that are now filled with Trump catspaws.

They also need to fix their voting rules and gerrymandering.

I hope.
> For example, how many "normal engineers" would you need to replace an Ilya Sutskever?

Back when the Bush admin was hyping this stuff they managed to get the media to talk mostly about electrolysis of water using solar power. They would talk about how only water comes out the tailpipe, and the symmetry of being able to reuse water to make more fuel was extremely appealing to the credulous minds of the public.

Nothing has really changed either, 20 years later and laypeople still don't have better information about this technology...
