That’s exactly why, as a Canadian, I don’t travel to US, or even transit through US. Border was always a terrible and hostile experience. I’ll fly longer and pay more to avoid this.
this is because elon is a cult-like figure and I am not sure anyone can objectively present any arguments for anything when he’s the topic
This reminded me of a static site generator called thumbsup: https://github.com/thumbsup/thumbsup

It does require nodejs, but there is no database other than the native file system.
Show. Us. The. Wireframes!

Every single time a new "Generate 3D" thing appears, they never show the wireframes of the objects/scenes up front, always you need to download and inspect things yourself. How is this not standard practice already?

Not displaying the wireframes at all, or even offer sample files so we could at least see it ourselves, just makes it look like you already know that the generated results are unusable...
I worked with a new co-worker that ... had trouble writing code, and tests. He would write a test that tested nothing. At first I thought he might be green and just needed some direction - we all start somewhere. But he had on his bio that he had 10 years of experience in software dev in the language we were working in. I couldn't quite figure out what the disconnect was, he ended up leaving a short time later.
I don’t understand. I’m in the USA.

Think of it more like an analogue to real life: Instead of a human talking to another human, the profiles are direct representations and the profiles are talking to each other. A forum is kind of sort of more like going to the mall, with the forum threads being stores - the point is the topic (store) even if you're all there together.

> I doubt the lower class is collectively storing much wealth in housing

Doesn't directly answer your point regarding wealth, but FWIW 47% of people in the bottom quintile own their home. https://www.minneapolisfed.org/article/2024/homeownership-am... It's actually near a 35 year peak.
I've been using Pixels since they were Nexuses--in no small part because they've remained smaller than the trend for Android flagships--and I cannot fathom bringing Unihertz novelty phones into the same comparison. It's like extolling the virtues of unicycles to someone trying to buy a car.
Yes of course.

The problem is what can be done? The usual arrangement of letter writing or donating and voting is just more of the same cycle.

I'm not by any means in favor of what's going on, but some steam has to be let out of the system. And the real problem is trust in our institutions. What can be done about that?
Not yet, but you get a combination of "accusations were dropped" and "personal and professional equipment confiscated and repatriation after a night of detainment".
As a middle-aged human I first read "How the Fast Days are getting longer" as some kind of ironic commentary with the actual meaning being "how fast the days are getting shorter".
Counterpoint: the product vision that is already on display here is going in a great direction, and colocating a spreadsheet with your accounting app is a great idea. I love the idea of being freed from having to use excel for particular aspects of my accounting flow. You've got the export. People that want to keep their painful workflows can be masochistically happy.

This is clearly not an attempt to replace Excel, it's an attempt to accomplish a set of use cases in a better way than clunky export-import flows.

The in-app sheets look great, keep going!
There actually were almost no benchmarks for o1 pro before because it wasn't on the API. o1 pro is a different model from o1 (yes, even o1 with high reasoning).
is there a Reddit link that explains what is at realforum?
If anyone is looking for another geography-based quiz game I would love to hear some feedback for my new game Guesshole. It's super quick to get into, works great in solo or party mode (I think it's best with a group of people on a call) and is free and ad-free (and always will be).

It's still rough around the edges, especially on mobile, but I'd love your feedback on where it should go. I'm adding new features and fixes every day.

This behaviour seems to be dependent on which toolkit an application was written in.
This isn't really a Stripe thing.

Just about every processor has a chargeback fee that is non-refundable. Frequently they are higher than $15.

You can sign up directly with any bank that offers merchant services and there will be charge-back fees.

The reality is that chargeback-fees are never going to be a massive part of any businesses expenses, since processors will cut you off from the network before that point (anything over .9% of transactions disputed and you are in deep trouble). Just like everything else, small businesses should just plan for a certain small percentage of transactions to be disputed, and build that into their business model, in the same way that they do for all other expenses.

Besides all that, a credit card chargeback does not invalidate a valid debt. If a merchant wants to put that debt into collection, or to go after the debt and expenses in small claims, that's allowed and the CC company can't do anything about it.
My understanding is that it is not mesh, it’s Gaussian Splatting. There are tools to convert Splats into mesh though.
splats don't have wireframes, and they have an embedded webgpu viewer in the linked page.
> If it is a policy that doesn't impact me personally, but benefits someone else, yeah I tend to not give a shit.

You're excluding a key point - the policy often benefits one party at the cost of another. You mentioned immigration and that's a great example of this sort of pathological empathy that has infected the left.

There's a cheap and fleeting sense of virtue attained when you champion illegal immigration and decry deportations. You post photos of mothers and their children crying at the border because the human trafficking organisations are having a hard time getting them across nowadays. But it's important to remember the negative pressure illegal immigrants place on wages and why there's a gross cabal of large corporations, lobbies, and affiliated NGOs, who virtue signal immigration as a means to lower their labor costs. It's important to remember the entire pipeline of illegal immigrants is owned and operated by extremely violent cartels - humans are now their most valuable product. Your desperate craving for that high of in-group acceptance is propping this up.

It's not that you're empathetic - you just don't care about the negatively impacted party. Nothing new under the sun.
Minor comment: do you mean "LLM Agents Are Simply Graphs". Personally, I'd drop the adjective to "LLM Agents are Graphs" as I think it sounds better, but the plural is needed.
MTA to Sunset MetroCard Sales at End of the Year
The post war scientific edifice is being shattered in a monumental act of vandalism.

It’s not just defunding childhood cancer research, but also dismantling the very idea of agency in the broader society. Science and basic research are worth pursuing. And the cost is a pittance.
I wonder what the input/output tokens will be priced at for AGI.
A friend of mine is a quadruple amputee. He has a nub one shoulder that he uses to manipulate a trackball. He tucks his tongue in his lower lip and uses it to operate any keyboard or touchpad, and he's fairly proficient . I wonder what he'll think of X-box's offering.
My thoughts exactly. I certainly have throes of people on Facebook complaining about this, but what shall I, the individual, do about this?

I have my causes to which I devote great time and personal effort, but if I stopped my life for every minor disaster I would spend my life shaking my fist at my computer.

I quite like my life and I don’t intend to spend it getting rage baited by never-ending news cycles.

Give me an action to take, not an emotion to feel.
Mass protests and non-violent civil disobedience. I hope that we don't reach a point where going beyond that is required.
> Microservices allow independent deployments. (Is that actually a requirement for your team, or just a nice-to-have?)

Only one of my friends has worked at a place that had a "microservices" architecture. I put that in quotes, because he said that none of them could be deployed independently of each other. (He didn't say if it was formerly a monolith.) I wonder how prevalent that is.
That remains to be seen. Manus, a standard agent built with Claude 3.7, outperforms o3 agentic model on the GAIA benchmark.
WriteEdge: Generate Tech Specs in Seconds
Probably a lot less dream than true FSD. SpaceX has operational reusable boosters. People have flown operational 'reusable' spaceplanes with tile based heat shields. Heck Starship itself successfully re-entered and soft-landed in the ocean multiple times. SpaceX has demonstrated the belly flop can work. What they need to do now is put all of these capabilities together and there are clearly some major teething pains with this. But it is certainly no Theranos.
I think you're claiming the Ekrem İmamoğlu case is completely different, I don't think that's what anyone else is saying.

In any case Columbia had ample time to address it's students before granting them diplomas - no facts have changed between them and now, nor have any new facts been made public. It's only turning heel because of political pressure by the President of the United States.
"Max" as in "Claude 3.7 Sonnet MAX" is apparently Cursor-specific marketing - by default they don't use all the context of the model and set the thinking budget to a lower value than the maximum allowed. So essentially it's the exact same 3.7 Sonnet model, just with different settings.
What a great system! thank goodness for the free market.
The Wikipedia article on ED (as it's abbreviated) gives a summary overview of its formation, in 1980, when the former Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was split into the present ED and the Department of Health and Human Services.

It also gives the ED's principle four functions of:

- Establishing policies on federal financial aid for education and distributing as well as monitoring those funds.

- Collecting data on America's schools and disseminating research.

- Focusing national attention on key issues in education, and making recommendations for education reform.

- Prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access to education.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Ed...>

As with other recent cessations of governmental functions, a sudden disruption of services and function is likely to sow chaos affecting institutions, students, educators, and their many partners. Which is strongly speculated to be a major point of such disruptions.
Strengthening America's AI Workforce
If I have to use an LLM, then I don't want to learn it. I have no interest in having my "food" chewed for me.

I'll do it the way I always have - read, cogitate, experiment.

That's not to say I don't think others should use LLMs by the way, knock yourself out.
> IME this is a longstanding pain point with Go.

Understatement of the year. But it’s really not limited to encoding but generally lack of sum types is excruciating after having tasted them (in Rust, in my case). They click instantly as an abstraction and they solve countless real-world logic bugs. Not to mention their ergonomics in seemingly unrelated things like eliminating null and error handling with result types. Just sprinkle some pattern matching on top and you’re in paradise.
The Humans Building AI Scientists
I think this is the general style for the Godot framework. They use a limited subset of C++, avoiding STL and some modern features, and limited templates.

It can't be trusted because it is incorporated in Australia which has draconian digital survellience laws.

I’ve had metaphysical conversations with people who bring up that the universe is expanding at a faster rate and our ultimate result is to be all alone, with no hope for communicating with other potential civilizations. It’s a sobering reality and makes you question things.

And if that turns out to be false, we need to remember the need to be humble and stop pretending we know everything!

If you're careful and you know what you're doing, sure. A much more impressive speed boost is to not use Aurora. "Let us separate storage and compute with a minimum latency of 1 msec," said no sane person ever.

Go spin up vanilla Postgres on an i4i instance, or even your personal computer, assuming you have a fast NVMe drive. You'll see what fast is. Nothing comes remotely close, not even io2 Block Express. A modern enterprise NVMe drive can do over 1,000,000 IOPS.
Even the basic interface is different, actually - "input" vs "messages", no "max_completion_tokens" nor "max_tokens". That said, changing those things is quite easy.
I've been a professional engineer for over a decade, and in that time I've only had one position where I was expected to write any tests. All my other positions, we have no automated testing of any kind.
When the key criteria for leadership selection is alignment with a specific ideology, and that ideology is defined by a specific person, it's almost tautological that said person will end up in charge for as long as they'd like to be.
There is a real practical problem with the dichotomy in Go unfortunately, where on the one hand a single threaded program is safe, but on the other hand no go programs are single threaded. More mitigations are coming and synctest for example is quite welcome and is already helping where we've tested it, but this stuff just feels like the same old whack-a-mole as e.g. fuzzing for other solutions. gvisors checklocks for example isn't tenable for us without hugely more investment as there are tons of cases it just can't handle (like inline funcs, which we have more than we ought to). You're right that it's different, though - data races are often much harder to discover, arrange and leverage.

We've witnessed memory corruption events (from plain go code), and it's raised real concerns even among our strongest advocates. Our most recent case was actually a false-positive, in that there was a real race on a map, but it so happened it would never have reached a data race - still it tore down a process in production, and this is good and bad on multiple fronts. It doesn't make the solution invalid, and no one should be throwing internet punches over it, but it's absolutely reasonable to be concerned about memory corruption cases in complex go programs. In general my advice for Go usage is to write small programs with low concurrency and small heaps, this manages associated risks well, both in terms of authorship and exposure when events come up. Small container sized things are probably fine, essentially, but many tens of gb of user data in heaps with hundreds of constantly changed kloc is a place to be genuinely concerned.

Reflecting back on the starting context, and this advice, they align. The compiler has no high value user data to corrupt, if it suffers memory corruption the bad cases have to be pretty lucky not to end up in sufficiently total failure as to cause true end user problems. The runtime is short lived and compartmentalized, and it's not in a highly adversarial environment - this is a fine fitting use case. In an attacker heavy situation like the font system though, essentially I'm almost ready to drop maybe one layer of sandboxing once it's implemented with stronger guarantees and had some appropriate testing. I'm not sure I'd be ready to say that with less safety guarantees.
They usually don't show the material channels either, which I assume is because there aren't any, and instead the lighting is statically baked into the asset. That works for a demo where you just wiggle the camera in a circle, but it'll immediately fall apart if the lighting environment changes or anything in the scene moves.
You are saying that what they are doing is completely useless. Plenty of other comments have explained how it isn’t.
Not immediately handy, but the two devices that I used are from a few years ago. Maybe these model numbers have been deprecated for newer hardware.

Sinilink PCle Computer Remote (XY-WPCE)

If you have the space and a spare PCI Express slot, I suggest going that route just for the slightly tighter integration; if memory serves, there is a always active 3.3 volt supply as well as a way to infer if the PC is awake or not. You still need jumper wires off to the front panel header though for power and reset purposes.
Without any value judgement on the actual orders, Trump signed 89 since taking office this year. Biden signed 77 in his first year in office. There certainly seems to be a difference unless this is comin to a stop relatively quickly.

That $100B is a based on a ballpark estimate of how much a passive investor would expect to earn by putting $32B of their money into a high-yield stock fund (yielding 15% per year, which is a conservative annual growth rate for a cloud provider) and sitting on it for 10 years. If Google can't do at least as well as that, the investor would be better off with the stock fund.

Yep it's not quality per-se as bad materials. It's just overall experience that just a bit like a wut. Note I'm coming from Tesla and only tested Atto3 which is a bit aged already.

It's an opinion piece, not a journalistic piece.
For someone who likes people watching in general, this feels like taking that to a whole other level and adding purpose, and I'd definitely try this out if available.

They won't. Your use cases won't be something the AI can't do itself, so why would they sell it to you instead of replace you with it?

AGI means the value of a human is the same as an LLM, but the energy requirements of a human are higher than those of an LLM, so humans won't be economical any more.
I have the exact opposite opinion, sum types naturally and logically model actual problems regarding data transformation, objects with methods obfuscate them, which is seldom a worthy tradeoff, even if it gives hypothetical business people a sense of understanding something (do they really?).

However, if you find yourself needing to use one of these regrettably ubiquitous languages that do not support them properly, it is gonna be painful either way.
I used to have a cat like this. He loved to drink out of the toilet bowl, which he knew he wasn't supposed to do. I would hear him lapping up the water and as I approached the bathroom he would quickly exit, almost but not quite running so as to not look too guilty, head held low and giving me a side eye like he was trying to see if I knew what he was doing in there.
No, the oligarchs can't stand seeing a single dollar go to the poor, and when one is a billionaire, everyone else is poor.
will cost you energy though, making battery less reliable or wasting fuel. Best to charge where you get energy for free.
How old are you? What is happening now at the NSF and NIH will knock the US off its technological perch in less than 15 to 20 years. We are already fighting to maintain an edge as it is.

What this means to you personally and other tech workers is that many of the well-paying tech jobs will be going elsewhere.
Quite a few :(
The Blowtorch Theory: A New Model for Structure Formation in the Universe
I came across an interesting example of this on Reddit a few days ago. While searching for something on Google, I found a result that was posted on /r/Gifted. I saw that a moderator had suggested that the OP take a psychometric test. This wouldn’t be that weird given the subject of the subreddit, but it had nothing to do with the thread’s topic. I assumed this was the mod trying to cash in on his position on the board and clicked through to his profile to see that he was still making comments like this. When I checked back in the thread I realized it was 5 months old, but the moderator’s comment was only 20 minutes old.

It turns out it was an AI generating responses to every single thread linking to this test.

Here’s one example:

> In my experience, I found skipping grades to be challenging initially due to the abrupt environmental and academic changes. It took me a few weeks to adjust to the pace and social dynamics, but it eventually became rewarding. It's important to approach it with openness and patience. By the way, if anyone is curious about their potential for advanced learning, the Gifted Test at [redacted] can provide insight - it's been validated by licensed psychometricians.

Every comment was like this. You can see the mod’s profile here: https://www.reddit.com/user/themightymom/
