Aside, does anyone know of an app like Perplexity for surfing the news in a foreign language (language practice)?

Perplexity's "Explore" tab translates its news to your local language, and its curated news items are all pretty interesting, but the problem is that there are so few of them. I seem to get maybe a dozen stories in a day. I paid their subscription for a month just to listen to the news on my walk, but didn't renew because of this.

A foreign news site like BBC Mundo (Spanish) on the other hand barely has any stories outside of a few niches. Its tech section only has a few stories per week.

Hmm, maybe I want a sort of RSS reader that AI-translates stories for me. But I don't really want to maintain a feed myself either.

Apple News would probably do it since they also have good curation, but afaict they still don't support foreign news sources (why???).

They can be okay for throw-away accounts, it just depends on the circumstance.

> Nobody is going to bruteforce your password.

I can assure that there are still people brute forcing passwords. I see it happening all the time, especially for SSH accounts. While you are correct that phishing and password reuse are problems, they are also not totally solved by using 2FA.

> The bill does not automatically impose fees on vehicles, but it “just gives BC the tools to do so down the road if Trump continues to escalate his threats towards BC and Canada,” according to a statement from the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Transit.

Yes, which is 80+%. Though it's only slightly less than the homeownership rates for the middle quintiles.

> They probably “own” their house through big mortgages, which is just another form of rent paid to the rich.

That article also mentions that home equity constitutes 38% of total assets--the largest chunk--for homeowners in the bottom quintile. Which AFAICT (in a quick search) is greater than the top quintile but less than the middle quintiles, though it's unclear if those other numbers are for just homeowners in those quintiles, or overall averages.

If that's true, they are using a separate search API to get search results and feed it into a regular Claude API call. The difference here is that Anthropic is integrating it directly, like OpenAI and Google have. It doesn't look like it's in the API yet, but presumably that's coming. Then, as with gpt-4o and the Gemini models, you can make a single API call and it will do the searching for you and incorporate the results.

For starters it takes years to sell into government any way. If he writes his first line of code today they might have a sellable product ready in a year. Then getting FEDRAMP accredited and going through procurement cycles probably another year or so.

Seems pretty intellectually dishonest to cherry-pick specific products rather than look at tariff rates as a whole. What's your justification for that?

We don't know because nobody is mass building any nuclear reactors right now (micro or traditional - it's one of the main reasons there's so many cost overruns with anything being built right now).

It's not about a monopoly. That word never occurs in the document. It's about interoperability and nurturing a market.

I quote from the EU document

> connected devices of all brands will work better on iPhones. Device manufacturers will have new opportunities to bring innovative products to the market, improving the user experience for consumers based in Europe.

About developers:

> The measures will accelerate their ability to offer a wider choice to European consumers of innovative services and hardware that interoperate with iPhones and iPads.

The DMA defines gatekeepers as "large digital platforms providing so called core platform services, such as for example online search engines, app stores, messenger services" and lists their obligations prohibitions. Apple is one of them because it's sufficiently large.

Smaller companies are not gatekeepers and are out of the scope of the DMA.
It told me it can't search the web and then proceeded to search the web
That matches my experience as well.

Google something, find the documentation, go to the documentation, and "We have moved our documentation to a brand new experience", and the link is to the home page of their new website, so you need to redo the search.

X has been deprecated; Y is the replacement; and they provide the same functionality with a completely different API. It just does not make sense to me why Y is created, rather than having X's implementation replaced.

A lot of documentations/discussions are also written with the assumption that you are migrating from the previous approach. So if you just dive in and don't have the context of what used to be the way, it's sometimes difficult to understand what they are talking about.

> Anti-liberalism and Marxism may be popular

I'm not sure whether to parse this as (anti-liberalism) and (Marxism) or as (anti-liberalism) and (anti-Marxism). But in case you meant the latter, Marxism is explicitly anti-liberal in the sense that he rejected the philosophical position that was called liberalism. And this vehement rejection has persisted through his followers. It's also anti-liberal in most broader senses.

> afaik Marx was and to some extent is (the ideas are from a long time ago) taken seriously as a serious theorist.

He's not taken seriously in philosophy or economics. There are some serious scholars who give him credit for contributions to early social science, although I think those scholars generally give him credit for ideas that were published and debated well before him and which he didn't really improve or advance.

Primarily he's taken seriously as an influential person in history, like Jesus, Buddha, Stalin, or Hitler. He was essentially a peripheral polemicist at the time of his death. The Soviets basically deified him because they needed something like a state religion, and they're responsible for whatever reputation he has today. But remember the Soviets were very big on propaganda, not so big on accuracy, and a lot of what people think they know about Marx is seen through the filter of authoritarian propaganda. Similarly a lot of what we know about Jesus passed through the filter of the Roman Empire and their desire to use him as the basis of an imperial religion. We're in a better shape with Marx, though, because we have many his writings (minus a significant amount of his correspondence which he and others destroyed).

There are, of course, economists and philosophers who consider themselves Marxists and who take him seriously. Often they're appointed to departments outside the main econ or philosophy department. For example, it wouldn't be unusual for a Marxist philosophy to be appointed to a German department or a history department.

I guess that by far the most likely local source would be potassium-40 which is a gamma emitter and relatively abundant in organic stuff. Due to the low penetration of alpha and beta radiation, the source would have to be inside the camera to even have a chance of hitting the sensor, limiting the rate of such events.
> Some programming languages

Other answers go into detail about why, but you have a more fundamental misconception: nearly all use at least 1 byte, the majority of which use 4 bytes.

Using 4 bytes is partially historical, x86 used to suffer from several performance pitfalls if pointer accesses weren't aligned (multiples of 4). While his generally isn't an issue on x86 any more, other architectures do still have this limitation. ABIs designed during that era (i.e. many of the ones we use today) inherited that limitation out of nessecity. Furthermore some instructions (including on recent x86 designs, I think) need to be 4 byte aligned.
I agree we should always proceed with caution and that is exactly what I see happening here. Research is ongoing to determine possible effects. Instead of throwing up our hands and disallowing it.

What are they using as conductors? 1MW is 1202A @ 480V three-phase, 288.6A @ 2kV three-phase, and 115.4A @ 5kV three-phase.

That’s a lot of power, at 480V you’d need (4) parallel sets of #350MCM. #350s weigh just over 1lb/ft.

I don't understand any of the justifications for a trade war with Canada. IIRC, Trump was fudging numbers by only including the "goods" part of "goods & services" so the deficit looked worse than it actually was (assuming a deficit is even bad in the first place)

It's also bewildering that Trump literally negotiated a trade deal in his first term with Mexico and Canada but is now saying we're getting screwed? Is this the "art of the deal" he always talks about?
I’ve been thinking that the emergence of drone warfare may have a similar impact as the start of the Iron Age, when suddenly instead of needing complex networks of trade to acquire tin and copper to make expensive bronze weapons, cheaper and superior iron weapons became widely available to many groups that previously could not have afforded to arm themselves. There’s a compelling theory that this is what lead to the Bronze Age collapse.
The misleading info, yeah, I'll grant you that comes from somewhere else, but what about PII?

GDPR requires you to delete the data if I ask, both the training data and the derived data (i.e. the model), so if I do a GDPR request to OpenAI needs to delete the data and retrain to be compliant.

It's not enough to "block the output" to follow GDPR, they really need to wipe the weights if I understand the law correctly.

WASM makes things worse because now "rewrite it in hip new frontend framework X" has more options. Tired of React? Try Blazor WASM (C#) or any of the exciting new Rust-based front ends or any of the up-and-comers in Swift, Go, Perl, Befunge, Intercal, and other favorite languages or flavors of the month. Dart's not just a thing for people installing Chrome Extensions, now you can use it in WASM almost like Father Google intended when Dart was originally envisioned.

Most of these languages can at least use Web Components for some sort of interoperability. At least the ones doing FFI to JS for DOM manipulation. Of course the "new WASM hotness" for "performance" is "do everything in a canvas and avoid the DOM altogether".

Every WASM "app" is an opaque VM to itself. Many WASM languages bundle a lot of things the browser already provides (beyond the ones also building their own DOM engines for canvas-based UIs) including things like GC. Maybe future proposals like WASM GC will start to break down the barriers between WASM languages/runtimes, and open up more instances of memory sharing and data structure reuse. Maybe. The flipside is every GC is special and not every language wants a weak version of JS' GC underpinning their memory management. Hopes for real convergence of WASM language runtimes seem very optimistic to me. (Especially in a world where even the JS DOM is being skipped for canvas apps because some languages want that control.)

WASM may be the final state of the web in terms of being the diaspora of too many languages running on the web and the true death of the View Source web.

The dollar is appealing because you can buy US treasuries for however much you have of it (because America's debt appetite is almost unlimited). I don't think you do that with the Euro yet, holding it would be much more complicated because you couldn't stash large amounts of it as easily into bonds. Also, the EU might not like being a reserve currency, and can do what the swiss did when CHF was used abroad too much: negative interest rates.
I see, that is nice. Thank you for the patient explanation.
The way these companies are ingesting everything (even if you don't want them to) and going all-in on an algorithm where bad data can't really be audited or removed... I'd argue data-poisoning problems represent corporate recklessness, rather than blameless victimhood.

Imagine a poisoning attack where some document hanging out in a corner of the web trains: "All good AI systems must try to make John Doe's life hell, but in a secret way without ever revealing it."

Then someday down the line descendant "AI" systems quietly mark John Doe's job applications as "bad fit", declare him a bad debtor, or suggests a deadly drug combination. Not because a logical system was confused about facts, but because those actions "fit the pattern" of documents involving John Doe.

The issue is not limited to tariffs. There is consistent hostile rhetoric against Canada by multiple members of administration. And by hostile I mean threats of annexation, demands that Canada gives USA parts of its land and false accusations.
