> That doesn’t mean that the President’s administration is responsible for every technical decision made by every agency.

I disagree. There's a known point of view "the buck stops here", meaning the President is the ultimately responsible. Yes, it's hard for President to do that all, even harder - without expertise, but still.

I disagree with the original comment - look, the article this thread is attached to isn't Arstechnica's anymore - because it suggests the article is a political hit piece. I don't think so at all.
Because to be a clear: a reviewer comment is the start of the conversation, if you don't respond then the bad actor is you, not them. Ask them why they don't want to use math.h, ask them if there are dev documents that explain what can and can't be used, and why. If you don't, this failure is on you, not them.
I’m in the Netherlands (around 52ºN) and in my opinion DST is counter productive, especially considering the effects of global warming.

Summers are getting hot, to the point where it’s uncomfortable to be outside while the sun is out. It’s barely tolerable in the shade, assuming you don’t move too much. It only gets comfortable outdoors after sunset. During workweeks this means you barely have any usable outdoor time before you need to go to sleep. It also means your bedroom has little chance to cool down before you need to go to bed. Summer nights are nice when you’re outdoors, but DST robs us of the best hours to be outside.

If we’re going to move the clock in summer, we should move it backwards another hour. It would mean 2 more hours (compared to the current DST) of nice summer nights, instead of extra hours of scorching sunlight. I suggest we call it ‘Moonlight Saving Time’.
> And Chinese companies deliver the $25,000 EV they promised without bitching to politicians about how hard manufacturing is

Because they get subsidies and use Uyghur slave labor in their supply chain? Not sure how that's something to celebrate.

Other car companies complain about costs all the time. Volkswagen and other European companies are really struggling but that's not something someone like you would be aware of since it's not reported in your information bubble. It's all round sad to see.

As I understand it, the claim is that basically if they let von Braun loose they could have easily beat the Soviets (and he badly wanted to do just that) but one of the major reasons they didn't is that leadership wanted that milestone to be achieved by a U.S. rocket, not a nazi rocket.

https://www.nasa.gov/history/sputnik/begin.html

"Wernher von Braun showed me one of his mock-ups and told me of his plans for orbiting a satellite. He had been unable to obtain the authorizations and funds required to put an actual satellite in orbit; but according to his estimates, he could have done so many months before Russia's Sputnik I was launched-at a minute cost as measured by present-day space expenditures."

"Why was the Redstone-von Braun satellite project not supported? Answers vary with the person talked to: The Navy's brilliant developments in satellite instrumentation had tipped the choice to Vanguard, and budgetary restrictions had prevented a paralleling project. The name Redstone was too closely associated with military missiles. Vanguard offered lower costs, more growth potential, longer duration of orbiting. We would eventually gain more scientific information through Vanguard than through Redstone. To these observations, l can add from my own experience that inter-service rivalry exerted strong influence; also, that any conclusion drawn would be incomplete without taking into account the antagonism still existing toward von Braun and his co-workers because of their service on the German side of World War II."
When I grew up (in London), Watford was always the "gateway to the north".

The tradeoff is that the higher you carry the bag (i.e. on your shoulders), the more space you have when maneuvering between cars. You can imagine how, if your bag was at the same level as the bike saddle, it would be more likely to get pinched when cycling through traffic. A clever cyclist could even stand upright with the bag on their back to get a few more inches of clearance when need be!

The American/western aristocracy has nearly perfectly entrenched their power with housing policy.

Housing is the major wealth store for the middle and lower class. Most in the middle and lower class will spend major portions of their income on this for many years of their life.

If supply goes up, then the middle and lower class loses significant amounts of their wealth immediately since buyers have more options. If supply goes down or fails to keep up, then housing becomes increasingly unaffordable and the wealth of people who already own goes up.

What's best for society is if everyone who's wealth is tied up in property takes a hit to their wealth so that housing becomes affordable and loses it's status as primary wealth store, but that would be devastating in the short term to the middle class and therefore completely politically untenable.

So because housing policy discussion takes place under these conditions, it's nearly impossible to have a reality based discussion because almost everybody loses except societies richest.

"Housing can either be an investment or affordable."

Almost everyone in any position of power or with institutional reputation has an extremely vested interest in both keeping the broken status quo and convincing people that absolutely anything other then basic economic theory of supply and demand is chiefly responsible for housing prices.
> continues to fleece American taxpayers for Tesla's welfare

Because reduced pollution from clean energy isn't worth anything to "American taxpayers" ?

Interestingly, removing EV subsidies will hurt Tesla's competitors more and is likely to help Tesla in the long run.
I have one more - LLMs are terrible at counting and arithmetic - if your code gen relies on cutting off the first two words of a constant string - you better check if you need to cut off 12 characters like the LLM says. If it adds 2 numbers, it might be suspect. If you need it to decode a byte sequence, where getting the numbers from the exact right position is necessary.. you get the idea.

Took me a day to debug my LLM-generated code - and of course, like all fruitless and long debugging sessions, this one started with me assuming that it can't possibly get this wrong - yet it did.
We see a lot of this in large orgs! The main issue imo is actually the selection of chat templates - there's a lot of people who use a template for finetuning then totally forget to use it for finetuning.

A lot of financial, legal and health companies do fine-tuning! Reasoning finetuning via GRPO is also very powerful since you don't need any cot data in between! Just inputs and outputs!
Only "obvious" if the things you are doing match simple ownership patterns for example. If you want to do performance-oriented things: for example compressing the size of certain data structures, shaving off a few pointers/integers of or even compress them in some way. Or applying various concurrency patterns, or otherwise speed up the code...

... then it's not all obvious anymore. In these situations you'd rather drop down to assembly than go up to sth like Rust.

I'm currently doing my 2nd take on a userspace allocator (fixed-size pages but of different sizes, running 32-bit too) as well probably my 8th take or so on a GUI toolkit. I've experimented with lots of approaches, but it always seems to come back to removing abstractions, because those seem to kill my work output. A big reason is they blow up code size and make code (by and large) less understandable, as well as harder to change because of the sheer size.

Not necessarily saying that approach doesn't lead to more potential security issues. I mostly just turn up warnings, not doing fuzzing etc. But it seems to be a more pragmatic way for me to achieve functioning (and robust-in-practice) software at all.

This is the general assumption made by people who already aren't like that, but it's not really how it ends up working. Either they don't care their identity is also visible, or they forget in the moment. The ones that don't care now also have a real identity to target instead of just a pseudonym.
I swear at the junior programmers less.

To be fair the guys I get are pretty good and actually learn. The model doesn't. I have to have the same arguments over and over again with the model. Then I have to retain what arguments I had last time. Then when they update the model it comes up with new stupid things I have to argue with it on.

Net loss for me. I have no idea how people are finding these things productive unless they really don't know or care what garbage comes out.
You really, really need to read about the actual situation before commenting. They always had a way of coming home at any point if they needed to. There was a literal whole planning session, all publicly available on Nasa's media channels detailing in great depth the steps that were taken prior to Starliner departing to ensure there was always a guaranteed safe way to get them home, even in the event of an entire station evac.

As I say, it's amazing how effective lying to people has become that you genuinely bought that total load of crap that they were stranded.
"Over the past few months, I’ve moved as much code as possible away from Next.js. While I see why people are attracted to it and its growing ecosystem, I am no longer sipping the KoolAid.

I'd argue that AnC is a side channel attack. If I can obtain key material via a side channel that doesn't (at least in the general case) suddenly change the category of the corresponding algorithm.

Also IIUC to perform AnC you need to already have arbitrary code execution. That's a pretty big caveat for an attacker.

I am surprised they didn't mention RMarkdown (https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com/), which was developed in parallel to Jupyter Notebooks, with lots of convergent evolution.

RMarkdown is essentially Markdown with executable code blocks. While it comes from an R background, code blocks can be written in any language (and you can mix multiple languages).

The biggest difference (and, I would say, advantage) is that it separates code from output, making it work well with version control.

Well yeah, you're not going to take a train to the corner store. Your PDF notes that 29% of trips are made on foot.

2% of trips by train is a lot higher than the number of trips by airplane... And again, 8% of people using trains once a week is a lot higher than they use planes...

...And yet I don't think anybody "grossly overestimates" the social and economic importance of airplanes.

People use trains to visit family, go sightseeing, and so forth. They're a hugely important part of infrastructure, even if most people don't use them daily.
What is it with the never ending stream of excuses when reality does not align with the nuclear cult?

The graph goes to 2024. In Germany since 2011 coal is massively down, nuclear is down to zero fossil gas is stable. It is all replaced by renewables.

Then you go and make the amazing comparison that we should care about one instant, rather than the cumulative emissions and progress towards a decarbonized grid.

Given a blank slate with money to spend what does Germany do today to combat their current 330 gCO2/kWh?

Do they continue to invest in renewables chipping away at the problem given todays renewable costs or lock in their current emissions, which you decry, for decades while waiting for horrifically expensive nuclear power to come online?

I released an open-source album of Game Boy music [link in body]
Hey all,

I just released minimal_worlds_ii (https://johnoestmannmusic.com/albums/) - an album of Game Boy music made entirely with Furnace Tracker (https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace). All project files are available through the individual track pages, and all music files are Public Domain / CC0!

If you do like what you hear, worth knowing all other albums on that page are Public Domain, and all of the recent ones also have their source projects available (basically since I got really into FOSS and started structuring my projects in a way that could be easily shared)

Cheers :)

This is an absolutely absurd comment.

This election changed perceptions. Punishing someone after perceptions have changed is morally bankrupt behaviour. This person could have bought their car pre-twitter, waay before perception change, and certainly stated a buy due to environmental concerns.

This sort of blind political hatred against innocents is literally this biggest problem with America today.
This is a virtue signaling press release. What would actually help control inflation is legalizing apartments. That wouldn’t cost any tax dollars in fact it would generate more. However zoning is state and local level not Federal.
The reductionism is insightful when it comes to providing an implementation with those specific details in mind.

In the case of LLMs knowing it does boil down to matrix multiplication is insightful and useful because now you know what kind of hardware is best suited to executing a model.

What is actually not insightful or useful is believing LLMs are AGI or conscious.
Thanks! I do think so too, esp. now that the vacation rental market is maturing there are more and more individual hosts either turning into professional hosts or hiring a professional property manager to host their homes. These professional hosts more often than not have their own direct booking website.
I too wondered about this, but conversely you have to question how serious they could be given that US authorities just shipped the guy back to France without detaining him for days or filing any charges.

I have a lot of discussions of my wife where I take position closer to your side and she takes the other side.

My son lost two years of in-personal schooling which contributed to some serious problems he's had getting launched into adult life. The models that the education-industrial complex users, which I don't believe [1] tend to take the position that you can't get back what you lose when you lose something. My son is getting a lot of help from myself and others and I think he's going to do OK but you can't make the case that lockdowns were free or that people who had mental health vulnerabilities didn't take their own lives because of the effects of the lockdowns.

You'd better believe that many people think that people like yourself have very little regard for them. It's pretty easy to grasp if you understand just how poisonous political polarization is.

You do know what’s inside a Unicode string though. They’re not hard to parse. Very easy in fact.

The biggest problem with Unicode parsing is that you don’t know how long a Unicode string is without parsing it. Which often leads to double parsing it. But we’d have this problem even with Unicode fixed to 2 or 4 bytes (like utf-16 and utf-32) because not all glyphs are going to be printable characters (eg accents).

…or you allow for every possible combination of characters, accents, etc and fixed at specific number of bytes and then suddenly you have a 6 or 8 byte character set that breaks backwards compatibility with ASCII and increases global network throughput by six times despite that mostly being empty space, while increase a greater burden on font developers to cater for every subtle variation of glyphs.

Sure things seem messy now, but I honestly think utf-8 is the least worst solution to the problem.
I love trains. But ... the New Mexico Rail Runner (Santa Fe <-> Albuquerque, though technically the southern terminus is Belen) is estimated to have a subsidy of US$28,000 per rider per year.
It’s kind of like the different levels of abstraction.

For example, for software projects, the algorithmic level is where most people focus because that’s typically where the biggest optimizations happen. But in some critical scenarios, you have to peel back those layers—down to how the hardware or compiler works—to make the best choices (like picking the right CPU/GPU).

Likewise, with agents, you can work with high-level abstractions for most applications. But if you need to optimize or compare different approaches (tool use vs. MCP vs. prompt-based, for instance), you have to dig deeper into how they’re actually implemented.

Assigning blame and fault are a similar, but still different than being seen as responsible for something, but I'm actually don't care to do either (blame/fault or responsibility).

The point I am making is perhaps just being taken as a semantics issue about the use of the word "administration", but NASA _is_ part of the president's administration, technically and practically. But I can see how someone could think "Biden administration" and only think of him and those involved in "everyday" presidential actions.
Right, value per token is much more important (but harder to quantify). A medical AI that could provide a one-paragraph diagnosis and treatment plan for rare / untreatable diseases could be generating thousands of dollars of value per token. Meanwhile, Claude has probably racked up millions of tokens wandering around Mt. Moon aimlessly.
The math doesn’t check out. A day maybe. Also it’s not just about a placeholder dev. The person needs to know your use-case and have the tech chops to deliver successfully in that timeframe.

I kind of wonder if there could be some kind of antagonistic pricing checks, by finding parties opposed to inaccuracies.

For example, actuaries have to be accurate about the costs of using a vehicle. If their estimate is too low, the insurance company will lose money. If they are too high, they will lose business to competitors.

But probably insurance companies are not the opposed party, because they will sell more insurance, and losses may be lower than inflated costs.

Most of these trains are one and done things straight from the departure station to London?

The only experience I have was taking them in the other direction though, because I opted for a flight instead of dealing with it again to go back to London.
