My wife and I comment on it regularly. Neither of us have noticed a remotely modern car. They even show full parking lots at some point(s) iirc.

> Thank you so much for the kind words. There isn't a lot of that going around on today's internet with its ephemeral interactions, dopamine-driven engagement, and deep polarization. I too often allow this disposition to infect my own arguments and occasionally lean too heavily into emotion.

You’re welcome, I too find my disposition infected from time to time.

> VC firms are certainly thinking this over. Google, Apple, and the rest put a ceiling over what portcos can ultimately grow up into, and they can even force M&A when in a different world that would be a subpar outcome. These firms and mid-cap tech companies can be a powerful voice to help shape regulation.

I’m skeptical that this will happen in an environment of deregulation. However, it is possible that we’ll see change on a longer timeline.

> Google, as a sum of its parts, is frankly undervalued. They aren't properly monetizing all of their properties.

I couldn’t agree more. Every time I see Google kill a product line, it bothers me that it wasn’t spun off into its own company.

> Freeing the markets up again will make everyone collectively so much more innovative and profitable.

I’m not sure if I subscribe to the belief that markets were ever free. I do agree that we should do as much as we can to open them up though.

> I hope we see change soon.

Indeed, I simply hope we can see a return to reasoned discourse.

Thank you again echelon. May the winds ever be to your back, the sun to your face, and free markets on your horizon.
I am using Edge. I don't see any discount coupons. I must have clicked a "no ads pls" buttons somewhere, but now it's good.

Speaking of adware and spyware, doesn't Firefox still have Google as its default search website? They are not Google, but literally selling you to Google, that's like even worse?
Walking is cardio. It’s not high intensity cardio, but it’s cardio nonetheless. The main point of cardio for burning calories is to raise your heart rate; walking is the most sustainable way to do this, although it isn’t the fastest way, time wise.
Teenage Member of '764' Network Sentenced to 84 Months in Federal Prison
Shhhh you’ll ruin our reputation.
In roughly 2009 my (mostly very well run) school was freaked out when me and my brothers, all age 9-11, wanted to walk the 1.2 miles home. And honestly the teacher and principal involved were/are among the most reasonable, experienced, pragmatic educators I know. I genuinely think the issue is paranoid parents watching them allow such a behavior just as much as the small chance we get clipped on the sidewalk by an out of control car. Aka they were 99% sure my mom would be fine with us walking home, that we weren't lying about her approval, and that if we were lying and something happened while unaccounted for my parents wouldn't hold her responsible, but we live in a silly society, and people are watching.
Great list! I’ll definitely run your benchmark against Doctly.ai (our PDF-to-Markdown service) specially as we publish our workflow service, to see how we stack up.

One thing I’ve noticed in many benchmarks, though, is the potential for bias. I’m actually working on a post about this issue, so it’s top of mind for me. For example, in the omni benchmark, the ground truth expected a specific order for heading information—like logo, phone number, and customer details. While this data was all located near the top of the document, the exact ordering felt subjective. Should the model prioritize horizontal or vertical scanning? Since the ground truth was created by the company running the benchmark, their model naturally scored the highest for maintaining the same order as the ground-truth.

However, this approach penalized other LLMs for not adhering to the "correct" order, even though the order itself was arguably arbitrary. This kind of bias can skew results and make it harder to evaluate models fairly. I’d love to see benchmarks that account for subjectivity or allow for multiple valid interpretations of document structure.

Did you run into this when looking at the benchmarks?

On a side note, Doctly.ai leverages multiple LLMs to evaluate documents, and runs a tournament with a judge for each page to get the best data (this is only on the Precision Ultra selection).
Not sure about US legislation, but where I live clauses like this are void automatically, even if you agree to the contract.
You put in a different depot for the 20 minute trip. With express buses the trip between the two depots may only be 5 minutes.

People through history have always considered about half an hour a reasonable daily commute. Doesn't matter if it is a hunter-gatherer going to their gathering grounds (if they follow herds they will move camp if the herd moves more than half an hour), or "modern man" going to the office, half an hour is what you get. Everything I said is based on making as many of those half hour trips possible as I can - but not all trips can be done that way and some locations will be left out.
A Bridge Too Far? (2017)
This is a wild take and I’m not sure where to begin. What if I leaked your medical data, or your emails, or your browser history. What’s at risk? Your data means nothing to me.
That is true. What recently happened is that the Supreme court has determined that speech which benefits a foreign terrorist organization constitutes "material support" to that organization, and providing material support to a terrorist organization is a crime which can get a green card revoked.

Now, I don't think it makes any sense that speech is "material" support, but I also think it doesn't make any sense that speech is "violence," and US culture seems to have repudiated my thoughts on what distinguishes speech from action.

But whatever I think, under current law, speech in support of a terrorist organization is no longer free speech. And certain pro-Palestinian organizations were defined by the previous administration to be terrorist organizations back in November. So it follows that certain pro-Gaza activism is no longer free speech. I don't think this should be the case, but this is the current state of the law.
We don't have too many rock pigeons out in the country where I live, but we do have plenty of robins (American Robin / Turdus migratorius, to be precise), and those have to be in contention for world's dumbest nest builders.
I'm reporting what the instructions are, not what I think about them.
The drivetrain was actually invented several decades before that. It wasn't until around 20 years ago that the batteries got to the point to make it practical to use.

They're also made by more than Toyota and Honda. The American automakers have been offering vehicles with a similar hybrid powertrain for around two decades and the German automakers for only a little less than that. But they're generally not a separate model like the Prius is, so the only exterior difference is a hybrid badge on what is otherwise visually identical to the non-hybrid car/truck of the same model.
Anyone who has done cryotherapy?
There seems to be the notion in a lot of comments that Stoicism is about acting against one's nature or surpressing ones emotions.

For me, on the other hand, it was very freeing to encounter Stoicism, because I felt like it was okay that I didn't feel or react as strongly as people around me expected me to.

I agree that a system that does not deliver is going to fail. Transit systems can have improved scheduling in two ways:

(1) Better scheduling system. My opinion is that most real world systems are not too far away from the optimal trade-off curves. There is always room for improvements, or choosing better trade-offs, but it will rarely drastically improve things.

(2) More ridership: Most problems with speed just disappear if more people ride. For example, you do need a solid buffer when buses come every 30 min or more. But buses that come every 10 min or less, you can get rid of all buffer. A lot of scheduling problems are just not-enough-users problem.

Something I don't see in the pgdog documentation is how cross-shard joins work. Okay, if I do a simple `select * from users order by id`, you'll in-memory order the combined results for me. But if I have group by and aggregations and such? Will it resolve that correctly?

First of all another parent making a stink at PTA is a genuine situation to want to avoid. The facebook smear campaigns I've seen against teachers are incredible. Also, they absolutely have been sued, and if I remember I'll link a handful later when home. Or the even more fun phenomenon is other parents calling CPS on parents when they witness their children walking home unattended, and that report is actually pursued and adjudicated.

This is too dangerous of a capability to be exposed to a public network with tons of malicious actors and bots.
IMO there has been something rotten in the Siri house for 7+ years. It was bad even back then compared to competitors like alexa or google on a pure voice assistant basis. Open-ish models like Whisper translated speech to text far better for years, with local models, and they just sit on their worse software anyway. The hardware for their microphones is phenomenal too, which makes it an extra worse shame.

> He fought it against the wishes of the senate.

This is factually incorrect. He was a proconsul in command, fully authorized by the Senate.

You're probably referring to the fact that some of his political opponents in the Senate tried to score political points criticizing his war in Gaul. There was no real question of the legality then or now. False legal claims like this were standard practice and everyone took them for the partisan maneuvering they obviously were.

> Sure. Notice the size of their armies in the link I provided vs. the count of dead people and enslaved people. These were civilians.

These claims are all incredibly speculative. We actually have no real idea how many people (civilians or otherwise) died in these wars. Caesar himself is the primary source and we know for a fact that he tended to wildly exaggerate his numbers.

> Agreed. Both sides were terrible in that conflict. That doesn't make him a non-dictator because he won over another dictator wannabe.

> The two facts I provided were: he was a dictator and he was violent. Those are indisputable objective historic facts.

Another indisputable fact: he wasn't violent as dictator.
Systems thinking isn't a political belief, it's a model for the world that is incredibly useful in a lot of contexts. Some political factions may be more likely to engage in systems thinking than others, but that doesn't make it a political topic.

Not an insider but imo the work on diffusion language models like LLaDA is really exciting. It's pretty obvious that LLMs are good but they are pretty slow. And in a world where people want agents you want a lot of the time something that might not be that smart but is capable of going really fast + searches fast. You only need to solve search in a specific domain for most agents. You don't need to solve the entire knowledge of human history in a single set of weights
They need to keep existing Siri capabilities, including third-party app integrations (SiriKit, Siri Shortcuts). That’s difficult to make consistent with a “whole new thing”.

Funny how Silicon Valley and ancient Rome both use Stoicism to justify ambition rather than avoid it. Sort of reminds me of yoga retreats for CEOs - I mean, mastering inner peace while negotiating billion-dollar deals feels suspiciously like having your philosophical cake and eating it too.
Yeah.

Human worth is not measured by productivity. Human productivity is valued as an exchange good. These are completely different things. The entire missive concludes with this straw man you quote.

So to answer your question... Yes, that is literally what that blog post is saying. "Gimme." Just with elevated language: "The question is not whether Britain is working. It is why we are still expected to."

This is the norm in all US universities, not just the top ones. The advising professors regularly take advantage of their position and power over students. It’s not everyone but incredibly common.
Yeah, you need to say “change” instead of “set”. And then there’s the problem that if the alarm was turned off, it remains turned off with the new time, and Siri doesn’t bother to call attention to that.

Brave is the privacy browser.

Brave is not “the crypto browser”. I turned off crypto related features years ago and have used it ever since as the most reliable privacy first chromium browser with all the Google bits ripped out. It’s excellent, and has ublock style tracking protection and ad blocking built in. The only time I ever hear or see anything related to crypto and Brave is here on hacker news when people complain about arbitrary, inconsequential non-issues related to headlines from years ago.

So this is not legal advice and I'm not an immigration lawyer. And I'm not explaining how the law is likely to be applied. Instead, I'm explaining how an aggressive government prosecutor could plausibly seek to apply it.

The wording of 8 USC 1451(a) is not limited to particular questions on visa or green-card applications. The statute refers to how the "order and certificate of naturalization were ... procured" which arguably encompasses everything leading up to the order and certificate. Moreover, the statute has two separate prongs for revocation: (1) the "order and certificate of naturalization were illegally procured"; or (2) "were procured by concealment of a material fact or by willful misrepresentation."

The way government prosecutors interpret these statutes is to push each of these terms and prongs as far as they can logically go. For example, you could argue that the phrase "illegally procured" encompasses any unlawful activity that has some arguable nexus to the visa or naturalization process.

As to the second prong, 8 USC 1427(a) sets forth extensive requirements for who qualifies for naturalization. The requirements are extremely vague and broad:

> No person, except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, shall be naturalized unless such applicant, (1) immediately preceding the date of filing his application for naturalization has resided continuously, after being lawfully admitted for permanent residence, within the United States for at least five years and during the five years immediately preceding the date of filing his application has been physically present therein for periods totaling at least half of that time, and who has resided within the State or within the district of the Service in the United States in which the applicant filed the application for at least three months, (2) has resided continuously within the United States from the date of the application up to the time of admission to citizenship, and (3) during all the periods referred to in this subsection has been and still is a person of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.

That third requirement is so broad that almost any fact about a person could be deemed material to the naturalization decision. Now, remember that 8 USC 1451(a) only allows naturalization to be revoked based on concealing or misrepresenting material facts. So it must be the case that you were arguably required to disclose the fact to the government at some point and either didn't or misrepresented the fact. But if you made an omission or misstatement on any government form ever, that could be fair game for bringing revocation proceedings.
