> We already started across most Europe, to the tune of half a trillion of additional spending just now.

I’m aware, this is the best inception I’ve ever seen because Europeans are acting like its their own idea because they're scared of the US / Russia now

and not that the people in the current US administration have been demanding Europe to do this for 8 years straight.

less talking, and just scare people into action. Same result, at the expense of some relationships that wore out its welcome. and everyone investing into their local economies.

sidenote: I like Switzerland. Way to go guys.

“Abysmal” mistake seems excessive.

Basically a journalist was added to a discussion group of high ranking politicians.

This journalist is well known within those circles and has plenty of access to those people regardless.

The conversation may have been war plans, but the action is pretty uncontroversial across both parties, and went off without a problem so the impact of the leak was nil.

Seems like a great topic for making political hay, but twins that a mistake that can be easily corrected.
>Try doing that as a teacher with a classroom of 30+ students.

I believe that OP is saying that's exactly the problem.
So can we now stop hearing "lock her up" and "what about her email server?!".
What I'd really like is integration between fzf and bash autocompletion so that I can get more of a code completion like experience. Or maybe something smarter still. I feel I could get so much more value from kubectl and/or yq with a bit better ux in this regard.

Maybe skim does this? Or fzf does it if I configure it differently?

Ah, found this now, looks really promising!

I mean this with all due respect. Anyone who talks about Democrats and Republicans like they’re on one of the teams has totally missed the political charade being orchestrated in DC. These parties do not represent you.
I don't know about pouring water but reusing disposable crumpling water bottles is the best way to get more plastic in your body
I've heard the US described as a third world country wearing a Gucci belt.
A promising approach—especially if it proves as simple and low-cost at scale. It’s obviously not going to "disrupt" the plastics industry overnight, but it could offer a valuable local alternative, particularly in regions dealing with massive plastic waste imports. The real question is whether this kind of tech can evolve outside of patent lock-in and centralized exploitation models.
My feeling is that if Swift didn't have the requirement of very tight interop with Objective-C there would have only been one kind of object. Maybe just structs with the option of heap allocation/reference counting or something like that.

But that's not the world Swift was born into and so it has both classes that are optionally Obj-C compatible and structs

No one using hstr? I'm a big fan of that one, though i must admit i haven't used much else other than bash's reverse history search.
Today I learned!

I always thought "downtown" and "uptown" were more like "south from X" and "north from X" where X is some reference point in context (e.g. "where I'm standing"). Turns out, it's more similar to "downwell" and "upwell", i.e. towards or away from some central point (gravity wells being spherical-ish and all).
Agree.

I don’t understand why Microsoft are so bad at this?

They have access to a large percentage of all email traffic to train domain reputation, and spam detection models on yet seem to be notorious for both false positives and false negatives.

Google’s spam filters are far more accurate.
they take in many samples of touch data
> How does the conversation illustrate that? It isn't subtle. You can see it without reading any of the Chinese.

I can't, and I imagine most of the people who downvoted you couldn't either.

I think asking people to go to Google Translate to parse a random comment that seems to be 90% LLM output by volume is a bit much.
Creator here! I built this after struggling to save chat GPT conversations as clean PDFs. It’s 100% client-side (no data leaves your browser), free, and works with 1 click if clipboard permissions given to browser (else you need to paste manually). Would love feedback - do you find this useful?

When you randomly pick the locations they found it worked okay, but doing it in raster order (left to right, top to bottom) they found it didn't work as well. We tried it for music and found it was vulnerable to compounding error and lots of oddness relating to the fragility of continuous space CFG.
Do you have a good source for that?

Most biographies have Jørn Utzon declining invitations to attend the opening and to later design the interiors in Australia (he did so remotely) after some major fallings out over cost with a new government after those that intially commissioned the work left.

eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B8rn_Utzon

https://www.abcalumni.au/utzon_finding_the_master_architect

It's difficult to imagine him turned away at the border if the record is accurate that he never attempted to return after leaving.
The friction was high enough for me to not do it:
Coming up with a week-long list of stuff that checks all the boxes: healthy, balanced, non repetitive, feasible in my cooking time, ingredients available in my store and I'll actually eat it... it's not a trivial effort, then condensing it into a shopping list is additional clerical work. This was just refining the prompt a couple times to see if I could get all those aspects considered.

Another factor is that having the menus come from an outside source keeps them 'honest', I wouldn't 100% trust myself not to include some of the crap I was precisely trying to get rid of If I made them from scratch

The result was surprisingly good... maybe not 100% right, more like 90%, but good enough to overcome that friction.
Except that's not true.

The US healthcare system has more bureaucracy and is more expensive, with no overall health benefits and with worse access, than other developed countries.

The US pays more per capita for medical care than any other developed country (something like $12,000/person vs. Norway which is next at $8,500/person, https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/health-ca...), but overall health outcomes are not better, and "on the whole it has less access to many health care resources". https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2019/us-health-care-spending-hi...

Similar. I spent the weekend writing my first technical blog post. I was finally proud enough of something I'd gone through to write about and share.

Submitted it to this place and not a single upvote or comment.

I'm okay with that, I wrote the piece for myself. I'm aware that the modal upvotes, possibly even the median upvotes, are zero.

Yet without even a single comment, it's hard to know if it was the wrong audience or bad writing. Or perhaps Monday lunchtime (GMT) was just a bad time to submit it, falling off /new before most people were even awake.
> The numbers involved here make the chances that we are unique vanishingly small IMO; the numbers are the justification.

This is nothing but handwaving. Your argument evaporates when examined closely or critically.

> Those numbers mean that even if the odds of life are vanishingly small, there was and will be other life out there.

Obviously not. If there are N places where life could arise, but the chance that life arises at each is << 1/N, then your conclusion does not obtain. For any N, there is always a sufficiently small chance life would arise that would ruin your conclusion.

You are slipping in an assumption again, that the chance can't be "too small". But we can't rule out that some event in OoL is extremely, astronomically, exponentially unlikely. All known examples of living systems capable of Darwinian evolution have great complexity, and that initial complexity has to have come from somewhere. We can't rule out that at least some of it was just due to some extremely low probability event(s).

I liked Scala and was excited about learning and using it when it was picking up steam many years back. Unfortunately, it felt like there wasn't as much traction, and Scala has been siloed into some niche domains like Spark. It's a bummer since it's so nice to write with.
> You end up with inferior tools, higher costs, and more complexity

Possibly, yes. These are the tradeoffs that the businesses are sometimes willing to accept. In exchange for achieving something else that is beyond their own short-term business success.

In general, I think that businesses should take the broader picture into account because if they only think short-term and prioritize local gains, they might go bankrupt in the long term.

Take the Chinese 5G chips for example. They might be great value for money. But they might also contain backdoors exploitable by the Chinese government. Should the US mobile carries, for example, be using them? Just because in the short term that would make them more money? I do not think so.

> all without moving the needle on whatever issue you are trying to protest.

Why would you think that?

If business customers stop buying for instance the HP enterprise products, I am sure that HP will notice. And then HP will either have to adjust to what their business customers actually want and take into account the reasons why they are boycotting their products and services. Or HP may continue to lose business customers.
Yes, it's one of those super-niche & super important functions that are obvious once you know about them, but would never think about otherwise.

I recently got a full-body health test done, and to my surprise, despite having six-pack abs and an FFMI of 25 at 18% body fat (confirmed via DEXA in Bangalore), I realized I was wasting money on food I didn’t even need.

Living in the Himalayan region, I often struggled to find relevant diet recommendations—Google mostly suggests European or American dishes with ingredients that aren’t easily available here. So, I took a different approach. I asked AI to design a diet for me that was not only nutritionally balanced but also cost-effective. I added constraints like avoiding pesticides, minimizing the risk of adulteration, and focusing on seasonal foods.

The result? I slashed my food expenses from a staggering $800 per month to just $200. More importantly, after eight months on this diet, my health markers remain perfect—no deficiencies, no issues. I feel great, and it’s the most sustainable way of eating I’ve ever followed.

But wait you can do it manually too right? Yes, but you need to sit with pen and paper and workout what each type of food contains, then balance and all that mind numbing stuff (and worst part is that you cannot quickly change and adjust for it in later meals which AI can)
I reckon I'll just join an anti-phone cult.

Idk why everyone's freaking out.
Yeah gotta love those 'cool' parents who even brag how they easily travel with small kids in their cars for a long time. Then you look at the car and of course there is a tablet in front of each kid.

'Bbbut kids then cry and scream!' Well yeah, thats how you raised them overall, don't expect miracles suddenly, world doesn't revolve around you and certainly kids don't.

Fyi our small kids (3 and 5) can handle that 'boredom' of day-long travel without any device just fine. But its due to them being raised without screens, and their parents not being constantly glued to same thing. So they just watch the country go by, go through a book or two, draw with pencil on paper (yes, its still a thing), we talk to them and entertain them and so on.
You can code the whole program with only types and no code?

Burning Man morning vibes, walking to a neighborhood camp for good coffee and meeting some new friends. Love it.
A new technology has made old modes of thought obsolete. A generation which grew up fetishising those things when they were young is now upset they are no longer valuable or meaningful.

Or to quote Socrates on the invention of writing:

>For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise.
The problem with that approach is that you'll quickly add large swaths of IPs belonging to cloud service provides, such as AWS. We already know that AWS, Azure, GCP and Alibaba are part of the problem, so we can technically just rate-limit them already. I believe that all of them publish their IP ranges.

Google also publish the IP ranges for GoogleBot I believe, and Bing probably does the same, so we can then whitelist those IPs and still have sites appear in searches.

My issue is that the burden is again placed on everyone else, not the people/companies who are causing the problem.

It's crazy to me to think about how much needless capacity is built into the internet to deal with crawlers. The resource waste is just insane.
Do you have examples of how it helped?

I'm regularly kicking myself for not doing that, so I see the value, but some concrete examples might help my motivation.
This page covers the basics which are pretty timeless. You'd want to understand this before learning about any more recent advances.

It doesn't get into state of the art algorithms, for example proximal policy optimisation isn't mentioned although the paper on this was published in 2017 and is probably considered the best algorithm for at least some applications.
English isn't my first language so I might've misunderstood what you wrote, but isn't that contradicting?
We're affected by this. The only thing that would realistically work is the first suggestion. The most unscrupulous AI crawlers distribute their inhuman request rate over dozens of IPs, so every IP just makes 1-2 requests in total. And they use real-world browser user agents, so blocking those could lock out real users. However, sometimes they claim to be using really old Chrome versions, so I feel less bad about locking those out.
Nevermind the bottle caps.

The internet is borderline unusable without extensions like "I don't care about cookies". And in situations where you care about them, you can not, because something has to record that I've seen the GDPR consent form. Recently, in the name of... who knows what, it's become a pain in the ass to access Google maps from Google search.

The idea that Europe can become a safe haven for entrepreneurs is beyond laughable. The vaunted "rule of law" has degraded into nothing more than fetishizing arbitrary and irrational rules.
It does seem like middle america has a new crisis every 10 years or so. That said, other than the "dungeons and dragons is gonna make everyone satanic" phase, I think there's often some truth to the concerns.

New technology changes the context for raising young people. Phones probably won't turn the globe into deliquents, but we do need to consider how to teach children long term focus, educate them to spot misinformation, and give them a whole bunch of skills they wouldn't have needed 15 years ago.

New technology probably won't stop the next generation from thriving, but the current generation of parents, teachers and voters completely ignoring new issues facing kids, and hoping they fix themselves, just might.
It's not client side, the messages are in the api though.

Make it GPL then.
Major events use it for all kind of soecialty cameras as they aready have the technology for the main studio cameras. So we had to develop solutions for everything that was not working. And major productions have budgets for all kind of new toys:mini-cams, drones, cable cams, now cinematic look from small mirrorless cameras, slow motion, etc. That opened up a whole lot of possibilities to be creative but you have to be as reliable as the main cameras and aim for the best image quality.

Now the same products are used for very small productions that don't have the budget for any studio camera (look typically at 50k+ for a camera without lens). In that case we try to provide a similar user experience and functions but with much more ffordable cameras.

Finaly more and more live productions are now handled using cine style cameras which don't have the standard broadcast remote panels and that's another area we cover, by combining camera control with control of many external boxes like external motors to drive manual lenses or 3D Lut video processors. Applications are on fashion shows, concerts, theater, Churches, studio shows, even corporate.

In the end Elixir is used for a lot of small processes which handle very low level control protocols. And then on top of that add a high-level of communication between devices either on local networks or over the cloud.
You meant parents for sure. It all starts at home, don't expect better behavior than parent is showing and enforcing.
Discrete GPUs on add-in cards are the high margin market in computer hardware currently and with nvidia universally hated there's a lot of opportunity in the market. The problem is, as usual, execution.

The assumption is in the "not so special" characterization of Earth.

"Just seems reasonable" isn't an argument.
European law is a patchwork of suboptimal solutions to hard (but often self-imposed) problems. The US meanwhile doesn't try to solve them at all.

Yes, the bottle caps annoy me, but if the beverage companies stuck to the much more recyclable glass bottles we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

Yes, the GDPR popups annoy me, but the law also punishes companies for being creepy exploitative bastards. If they had any morals, we wouldn't have the popups either.

So yes, Europe is sometimes frustrating, but at least it does some government. The US simply doesn't. It's a free-for-all hellscape and I'd much rather be lightly scraped on the face by a little plastic cap that one time a month I need to drink from a disposable plastic bottle than live in...that...
> Learning isn’t always fun and it’s unfortunate that, as a child, you were asked to do things that weren’t 100% the most fun thing you could be doing at any given time

Are you kidding me? That’s your takeaway? My man, I wanted to learn. Most kids want to learn. The issue, which I brought up in various forms, is that the teachers were overworked, the schools underfunded (or administratively mismanaged), and that many teachers were uninterested in trying to teach their classes. I don’t want kids to rot on tik tok, I want schools that are effectively able to teach students. My reference to prisons was very exaggerated no doubt, but a reference nonetheless to the very real phenomenon of a highly securitized and policed model of schooling I experienced while in attendance. An elementary school I attended in downtown Memphis had police doing random bag checks on entry, and most of the places I went were surrounded by walls and fences, had small windows, etc that were quite reminiscent of a prison. This is a known phenomenon, not my personal invention.

>If the kids won’t learn anyways, we might as well give them their dopamine and depression machines so they can really double down on not learning?

Look I understand why you read me this way, but no. I don’t want kids to have phones in schools. My issue is that people act like phones are the issue here, when the phones’ rampant use and abuse is just one tiny symptom of a broken education system that necessitates coping mechanisms by the students. Taking the phones without any will to actually repair this situation is a bandaid on a gunshot.
Wow - first time trying this... a day of researching saved, indeed. Very useful!
Their FOV is 75° × 50°, so no.
Not really, I literally feel the dopamine withdrawal myself when I'm not looking reddit or imgur, the craving its quite strong and I am 36 years old, just going to the bathroom without my phone feels like a chore, does that happen with other of the "boogyemans" you mention? I don't think so, I love rock since a very young age but never had too much of an urge to take my music to the bathroom, same with comic book, they do produce dopamine but in a much more spaced manageable way. I really can't imagine trying to handle that plus any sort of intensive education program.
I don't think entrepreneurs enjoy paying for "protection" when mafia knocks on the door or companies being taken over entirely when somebody in power decides that they like this one.
As I understand it, cause HR don't care about most of it.

It encourages you to put a lot of things in it which are generally not interesting, much like in the old days you'd list the ability to drive a car in your CV, or having finished the mandatory military conscription.

People prefer a one pager with relevant experiences than a five pages which include your id number, birth date and address.

You can of course do a Europass CV with less info, it's just not how people do it generally, according to the people who complained about it (I'm just reporting what I heard, I don't care about the CV format)
The original claim was that the new image generation is direct multimodal output, rather than a second model. People provided evidence from the product, including outputs of the model that indicate it is likely using a tool. It's very easy to confirm that that's the case in the API, and it's now widely discussed elsewhere.

It's possible the tool is itself just gpt4o, wrapped for reliability or safety or some other reason, but it's definitely calling out at the model-output level
Eh? Calling system() for a binary without a path? And why system() using execl() in the first place, when you could do something using execve() without a sh inbetween instead?

Even w/o an exploit this can be prettier and more secure.
Type systems expressive enough to write actual programs is widespread these days.

Typescript's typesystem is even Turing complete.

Regardless, it is not very practical to use a type checker as your runtime.
>As an adolescent, I remember sleeping eight-, nine-, 10-hour periods. Now if I can do two or three hours at a stretch, I feel vaguely triumphant.

Wow. So little sleep is very bad for health (mental and physical).
I regret this because it makes for such an easy attack. Not an entirely unjustified comparison though.
