I'm personally not in favor of pride but I don't feel THAT strongly about it to be in favor of banning it either. This is how I imagine most of the country feels. What I was getting at with my first comment is that if our opposition fully owns up to being pro-gender that would torpedo their chance of defeating FIDESZ (which I think is ultimately more important than anything else in country level politics).

>'Gender ideology' as a term is awfully vague and not really a thing outside of extreme-right politics. For some this appears to even include homosexuality and expressions of a non-binary gender identity, in addition to acknowledging the concept of gender dysphoria and transgenderism.

Yeah this is where we are getting into fundamental disagreements. I, and most people I know just flat out don't believe that you can transition into being a woman as a man or vice versa. It's just not a thing. Much like how I don't become a car overnight if I sleep in a garage and make motor sounds. To me the whole topic transgenderism seems like some kind of mass psychosis where people delude first themselves and then threaten others to follow along with their delusion. Sure, wearing a skirt and calling yourself Jane as a Joe doesn't hurt anyone of course, where I draw the line is when this inevitably turns into demanding that others be a part of this farce.

>The way the right-wing Hungarian political parties are using that term to me has nothing to with a critical or conservative stance with regards to transgender healthcare, or healthy public debate. Rather it seems to serve as a deliberately constructed straw man.

It kind of is a strawman. But in a "broken clock is right twice a day" way I have to give this one to FIDESZ. As long as they are preemptively preventing stories like these[0] occurring here, I can't fault them for this one. That being said, I hope TISZA won't give any concessions on this either.

> Software is weird because it is expected that should be free (as in beer) for most consumers while while being for profit and giving high salaries to its workers.

Shoppers expect shopping carts at a supermarket to be free, but you still have for-profit factories that employ many people to produce shopping carts that they sell for-profit to supermarkets. Do you also struggle to understand how that works?
This is probably intentional -- if you want to fix a typo or make something clearer that you've already captured you likely want to preserve the original timestamp?

If you want an entry timestamped to your current time, you can make a new entry.
I was at the Toronto IETF meeting in 1994(?) when they voted on 8-byte vs 16-byte addresses.

I share the author's suspicion that 8-byte addresses would have made a world of difference in IPv6 adoption. It's hard to understand nowadays just how slow many networks were back then - 28.8kb/s dialup modems were introduced in 1994, and 56k wasn't available until 1997 or 1998. Two 16-byte addresses take 9ms to transmit at that speed.
Why do we care about probabilities?
Looks awesome! Was thinking about building it for myself. One note: the delete function is not working apparently: it shows a note is deleted, but it appears again after reload.
They're not open sourcing it because it's just gpt. Both of the new models are gpt-4o(-mini?) with presumably different fine-tuning. They're obviously not going to open source their flagship gpt models.
That link isn't working currently, and when I checked it earlier it was referring to an outage which started late yesterday night. So I'm not sure it was relevant.
I don’t mind the homogenisation- I work in video games and benefit from it in that side.

But you are right if you want it to succeed then you need to chip in. We sell an album for £7 digitally, or £30 for vinyl + digital, but it’s basically just donating to us to say “please keep recording stuff”. We’ve made more off selling a single vinyl than all our combined streaming income

When I started coding, 20 years ago, the frontend was HTML+CSS+JS.
Now, it is still HTML+CSS+JS.
The most used backend was perl/Java/C/C++, which is not the case anymore.

So which one changed more, frontend or backend?

You can provision a vm with a click and then after a few years nobody has any clue what these machines do, if they're still needed and if their access levels are reasonable.
You’re telling me we know it’s quality because there are hoops to jump through to get the funding. But shouldn’t the results tell us that? Do we have a list of the most recent successes from these grants?
Yeah, Dan Bernstein explained a long time ago how they were doing it wrong.[1] That's not dated, but it must have been 20 years ago that I first read it. In short, by making it a separate, incompatible protocol, they created a situation where no one had an incentive (other than curiosity) to implement it on clients, servers, or in between, until everyone else did. There were better options.

We actually do have a Balkonkraftwerk im Garten :-)

Now that the sun is out for longer periods each day we are "wasting" energy to the grid a lot. I don't really see how to capture that energy though.

1. Buying a battery quickly shifts the break even points to decades. Without a battery I estimate 3-4 years.
2. I would love to heat water, but renting a place limits my options a lot. I was looking at electrical boilers to supplement the gas heater. But we are limited on space for small heaters below the sink and big heaters in the main water path. (Also we can't change the plumbing for legal reasons.)
3. The next best thing is some imaginary insulated water heating kettle that I can control to only use exactly the excess energy. No idea if such a thing exists.

(off-topic but common misconception that should be corrected:) IETF doesn't have "members". You just show up on the mailing lists or meetings and sometimes do productive shit, other times get into massive bikeshedding and almost-flamewars. It works surprisingly well but does have its issues.

People do take you more seriously if you've been around for a while and they know you aren't full of shit, but that's just social dynamics.
imo people who understand bitcoin and its purpose don’t want government to buy it for strategic reserve. That said if you hold your own keys then bitcoin protects you from this type of abuse of power
I'll add "reduce code size and complexity" to the list of benefits. A python library to calculate a simhash, or track changes on a django model, or auto generate test fixtures, will often be 90% configuration cruft for other usecases, and 10% the code your app actually cares about. Reading the library and extracting and finetuning the core logic makes you responsible for the bugs in the 10%, but no longer affected by bugs in the 90%.
Do "we" need anything else than food and sleep? Humanoid automata trope was invented in ancient times, and it's everywhere in sci-fi since about a century ago. Is it really surprising that someone actually tries to make it happen just for the sake of it?
From the Taiwanese standpoint, mainland China is theirs.
If a mathematician’s discovery has commercial applications (for example in creating arbitrage for trading, or breaking cryptography, or increasing security), then they can choose to keep it to themselves and commercialize it.
Or it's the opposite? Mundane tasks we want automated requires a dexterity most robots don't have (at least without being painfully slow).
Look, I detest Hamas but it’s really hard to look at entire cities’ worth of dead Palestinian civilians and a forced population movement of millions of people and say that “investigated by the IDF” is doing much. This is a long, brutal war and neither side is covering themselves in glory.

I’ve supported Israel’s right to secure itself for decades but this campaign has made me question the moral aspects more than anything else because they’ve been more willing to take the kind of collateral damage Hamas does, not be better, and that seems self-destructive for both the international consequences and the near-certainty that many young Palestinians, who until 2023 did not like Hamas much, have fresh grievances to fuel a desire for revenge.
No, not at all. All the dancing, kungfu and flip videos could as well be animated.

The only real metric and practical value is if they can perform tasks in the real, messy world efficient and safely.

Nit: clicking "Create X" to add a new tag seems worse than pressing enter to create one as you have to go off the tag menu and back onto it to create or add another, but it's not necessarily clear that you can press enter to create one.

As I recall the shareware authors would describe at length how those features cost development time that you the contributor were funding.

The word we had for programs with features removed in this punitive and egregious manner was crippleware.
>Stuck with 64-bit addresses

Nail on head. This is obvious not only in retrospect, but also to anyone just learning networking. We somehow expected the entire planet to become the death star with every blinking LED having a unique address.
This is just not true and can be easily fact checked. Defense is 20% of spending for example.
As long as they aren’t violating the license they aren’t legally or even socially obligated to fund any of the open source projects they use. If you release software under an open source license that allows free commercial use and redistribution you are explicitly saying you are fine with this.

If you don’t want this to happen, use an open source license with more restrictions on commercial use.
No, it's just not great UI. It is functional, but that is not the same as good.
> In my opinion, the most significant mistake of IPv6 has been that the IPv4 address space has not been considered a subset of the IPv6 address space.

This suggestion has gotten brought up often over the past few decades.

Remember that every IP packet has a destination and source address. There is no physical way for a v4-only host to directly communicate with another host which has an address from a larger address space. Doing so requires NAT. Which can be and is used today for v4-v6 connectivity.

Oh, yes, some stuff scales badly for sure, but for example farming scales hugely! Medieval societies required 80-90% farmers in Western Europe, it's now somewhere around 1-2%.
All of that can be true, and yet there are simultaneously so many papers and projects that are not worthwhile being funded. How does our university system exist in the current set? Where is the money coming from?

> they spend a lot of time on each grant explaining how their research will advance our scientific understanding and linking it to other benefits

Do those come true? Or is this just an exercise in diligence.

You’re right. I should learn more. I really want to understand.
So you're saying a negative index value should work like a count of elements to return and not an index?

Then you couldn't do thing like l[-4:-2] to get a range of elements which seems slightly useful.

So I agree with this but I think it distorts the true value. A nurse is worth way more to society than another SWE but the SWE gets paid way more. Bankers get paid a lot because they control money supply but I don’t think most people believe bankers are helping them or wish we had more bankers. Software is going down a similar path (see artist outrage over AI) because the pull of money is too great.

Would ads be better? If JSFiddle were your project, what would you do to provide yourself a salary?

I think we've discovered that the "buy me a coffee" strategy is just that, enough to generate a little bonus income... but is it simply unreasonable to expect that a project on the web that requires ongoing maintenance can generate a reasonable income for most people?

It’s trivially true in that you’ve defined science to mean “good and valuable research”.

Let’s make that more concrete. What qualifies as science and what’s not with funding. Is doing a survey about whether having the color red in a classroom helps student performance, science?

I don’t see any robots changing bedpans, fixing plumbing/electrical, picking fruit and vegetables, cleaning bathrooms, making beds, folding laundry, etc.
One thing I learned the hard way is that various older relays, timers, dimmers etc. will kill LED "light bulbs", but most of the time not instantly, but over several months/years. When we bought our current apartment 10 years ago, I had the common sense to replace the dimmers with newer "LED-approved" versions, and also replaced one of two relays because it was broken, but then the remaining relay over several years destroyed several "light bulbs" and one (fortunately not very expensive) lighting fixture with non-removable LEDs, until it dawned on me that the relay was to blame. After I replaced it ~ 5 years ago, no more problems.
I had the same experience moving from IC to manager. I didn't realize the amount of work that managers are doing that I didn't see and more importantly that they couldn't tell me about.

Retention is definitely one, but there's the flip side of dealing with poor performance. You can't announce to everyone that one of the team is on a PIP or struggling with personal issues. But a poor performer means that I'm doing a _ton_ of work to figure out how to fix the issue (whether that's spending hours every week coaching them, building all the long-term documentation that HR requires before we can fire someone, picking up some of their slack myself in the meantime...)

Coordination of people also takes way more time than I realized as an IC. If you meet with your manager once per week, that's an hour out of your week. But your manager is meeting with everyone on the team and a good manager is going to spend at _least_ as much time thinking and planning for each of those meetings as they spend in the meetings themselves even if everything is going well. They have to make sure nobody is accidentally working on the same thing or impacting someone else, talking to other teams, that sort of thing. That one hour out of your week is 1-2 days for your manager. Not to mention that they then have to go do the same sort of coordination with other teams.

You have something that blows up your week that you need to escalate once per quarter? Multiply that by the number of reports your manager has and that's how much time they've spent fighting fires this quarter. And they need to explain to their leadership what happened and why it won't happen again.

Etc. etc. It's not harder work, but it is very different work from being an IC. (On the other hand, being a manager has made me a better IC too. Everyone I've ever managed that was previously a manager themselves has this -- they know exactly what I need to know because they know what they needed to know, so our 1:1s go much faster :) )

One anecdote I have is that when I first moved to a management role, I told a colleague how happy I was that I'd finally have real control over my calendar. After he finished laughing (literally) he said "your calendar belongs to your team and you'll never be in control of that again". He was absolutely right: if something goes wrong or someone is unhappy, everything else moves aside so I can fix my team's problem.
What are they teaching in high schools these days that people can do this ? Well done and congratulations on the release.
What’s fascinating about Second Me being open-sourced is that it doesn’t try to predefine what our “AI self” should be. Instead, it offers a foundational framework and standardized interfaces, inviting the community to collaboratively explore and define it. This approach acknowledges a profound truth: humanity isn’t cast from a single mold — our differences aren’t flaws, but the very source of our creativity.
My takeaway was the people who would decide entire swaths of society were useless were also idiots.
The message from the current administration is clear: the rest of the world, and half the US are considered adversaries. Do everything you can to reduce interactions and/or dependence on the US. The administration cannot be trusted.
Then where are all the demos of a BD robot washing dishes or mowing lawns?
I have to say that while I’d somewhat like to have a better Siri, it’d make more of a difference in my daily life if they would put those engineers on fixing text input so I didn’t have to change “snd” to “and” dozens of times a day or deal with bizarre and ungrammatical suggestions.
> His gesture was _exactly_ like Hitler's.

Hitler's was unlike the general population's, as it had a bend to it.

You can bend reality all you like, but the intent of giving the Hitler salute was not there, as he has said. He's not secretly a nazi, and he's not openly a nazi. He's right-wing, yes. That's not illegal, and it happens to be the majority vote in the US.

The most reasonable criticism is calling it a Roman salute and saying it bears connotations to imperialism, and that it was most recently practiced by Hitler.

I think, if you want to read into his deepest, unspoken intents, he probably compares himself to Caesar more than Hitler. Just like Zuckerberg, and all the other multi-billionaires who want to see themselves as the de-facto leaders of the world.

> He's known to be a white supremacist

No, a bunch of observations leads you to conclude it.

He never showed up at a white supremacist rally.

He lets them speak on his platform.

> He supports far right parties in Europe.

Most right-wing parties in Europe are still socialist by American standards.

For example, the most liberal parliamentary party in Denmark thinks a 40% tax is fine.

If you're a Republican, you're crazy in the eyes of a European.

Specifically, he supports a far-right party in Germany, which is controversial, since there hasn't been popular far-right parties (only fringe ones) since NSDAP.

The big, controversial subject is ending muslim immigration into Europe. The far right becomes the bannermen for this cause, because closing down on immigration is viewed as xenophobic. In the meantime, as this opinion is being suppressed instead of addressed, it continues to grow with the populist movements.

The fact that Elon Musk has opinions on European immigration policy doesn't make him a nazi. Just like being against muslim immigration doesn't make AfD nazis (the German party that he endorsed), just uncannily populist.

> Someone who hadn't meant it would have come back on stage, when it was pointed out to them, and made an apology. Or at least immediately issued a statement/press release.

That's how I read his sentence immediately after the salutes: "My heart goes out to all of you." -- it sounded remarkably like something someone would say when they realize what they did could be viewed as heiling. You don't need to apologize to be a good person.
That's mostly because what "comes in" has been deliberately reduced. US, apart from the ludicrous health system, doesn't seem to spend much more than other western countries.
Yes, but we seem to have plateaued there. Also, that 1% to 2% is for grains and other stuff that can be easily harvested with large machines, which is awesome, but the delicate fruits and vegetables and nuts from more tropical places seem to be far above 1% to 2%.
