> trials against different accounts, where you don't gain this information (that the account does not use that password)

I would think that you do gain this info, the question is whether you record it for later use, which seems possible. But the extra effort to do that is a downside.

The upside is of course that 1000 failed login attempts on 1 account is more likely to trigger alarms than 2 attempts on each of 500 accounts.
Well, I don't know physics, but from I heard of it, there are two kinds of phenomena that are sensitive to a rotation. One is quantum particles, they have fixed spin, but won't delve into that topic, because I suspect that their "spin" is like the charm of the charm quark, probably physicists just liked the sound of a word and used it. But there is one other thing I heard about: electromagnetism. If you run charged particles in circles, they create magnetic field that is directed perpendicularly to the circles, and the magnetic field feels different depending on the side of the circles being observed.

I see no way it influences the light emitted, but maybe I heard just too little of physics? BTW, does the direction of magnetic field of galaxies correlate with the direction of their rotation?

edit: Ah, maybe magnetic field can polarize the light? And when you have two magentic fields they polarize in one direction or in two different, and maybe it influences observed brightness of the light? Or maybe it is just an uninformed guess?
> You're applying logic to what is largely an emotional topic for people, no matter how many times they say shit like "facts don't care about your feelings," their policies are almost in whole, feelings, and the subject of immigration is a great example.

Kinda the opposite, I'm surprised that the facts (needing immigrants) are overriding the extremely apparent emotion.

> I mean, even the cheapest number Elon's thrown out for his AI-powered humanoid robot (which I can't stress enough, does not exist in any meaningful way relative to what he is selling it but nevertheless) puts it at costing years of what an immigrant does to perform the work, and that's not even going into the fact that having them out in fields vs. climate controlled warehouses is likely going to increase the amount of maintenance needed, if they could manage it at all without just falling directly over. And there are energy concerns too, you'd almost need a mobile charging station for agricultural applications of them.

Aye, but I don't actually mean Tesla's Optimus[0] — I was thinking more like Unitree's G1[1], Agility's Digit[2], or Figure's… whatever they'll be called when they stop using version numbers as product names[3].

The power limits are indeed a huge concern if this were to all happen in the next few years — the global electricity supply is only about 250 watts per capita, and even if we maintain the current aggressively rapid growth of renewables, I suspect that we'll be constrained by electrical capacity until 2032 at the earliest[4], even if absolutely every technical challenge in engineering is met.

("Without falling over" is probably much easier with a human remote controlling them).

[0] Optimus would have been a more impressive demo if it had been sold as remote control rather than AI: the only thing Tesla actually demonstrated that would have been an interesting AI breakthrough would have been correctly parsing speech in an unconstrained environment, everything else was meh and that they even implied it was AI suggests that they're not even sufficiently aware of the state of the art to pull off a smoke-and-mirrors trick.

Do you really need to provide the docs? I would have imagined that those docs are included in their training sets. There is even a guide on how to migrate from GTK3 to GTK4, so this seems to be a low-hanging fruit job for an LLM iff they are okay for coding.
It's fiction, but the NEAL Stephenson novel Anathem explored this idea.

My dad used to be a school bus driver (among many other things, typical immigrant story).

One of the benefits of the down time is that since the hours are weird (2-3 hours in the morning, and then 2-3 hours again, 7-8 hours later in the day), means that if you didn't have downtime, you'd have to have two shifts of drivers, further increasing costs.

Having this downtime also allows for the drivers to get breaks (my dad would just come home and nap since otherwise he'd be up at 5:30am to get ready for the high schools) and return, and do a full day in one shift.

Just food for thought since this angle wasn't mentioned.

But I absolutely LOVE the idea of buying electric buses and using them as battery storage.

There is much to be found in login rates, both successful and unsuccessful.

Something I've seen in more than one service are API clients that perform a fresh login for every call, using the newly issued session token exactly once regardless of how long it might be valid. This pretty much doubles the number of connections and request round trips that need to be handled on either end. No big deal in small amounts but adds up for larger / high rate clients.

If the system design involves a table of valid session tokens, API clients that behave like this can cause that table to grow faster than one might expect, leading to impacts on the session invalidation process or perf issues on the underlying data store.
Our Conspiracy to Educate the World
The label “undocumented” is utterly dishonest. “Undocumented” implies that something has been permitted, but not documented. Like agreeing to let a friend live in your basement apartment without drawing up a lease.

Illegal immigrants aren’t “undocumented.” They are present in America without the consent of the American people, as expressed in immigration law.

> Apple has a lot of carve-outs and exceptions (see do-everything apps that contain mini app stores)

Which ones are you thinking of? Does Grab operate this way?

The China case is well-known, but that's really its own beast. KakaoTalk (Korea), while more of an 'everything' app than those in the West, is still a far cry from containing a mini app store. A user can't choose to add any new functionality by installing something - it's all included right from the get-go. My (limited) experience with Line (Japan, Taiwan, Thailand) is similar. So I'm curious if there's any non-Chinese apps you can name.

FWIW I'm not arguing against your fundamental premise, would just like to know which do-everything apps you mean.
I used FFI in the past (C header) but sherpa-onnx is available on pub.dev these days. Look for "sherpa_onnx".

You can also point sherpa_onnx in your pubspec.yaml file to a local dir (after cloning the repo somewhere on your file system) or point to a specific git commit hash, and don't forget to specify the path because its not the root of the repo. Here's a link to the dir of the flutter package https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx/tree/master/flutter.

The downloads of compatible models can be found at their GitHub Releases but tbh it's a bit of a strange setup IMO. Here's the page for TTS models for example: https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx/releases/tag/tts-model...

That same "release" (page) gets updated from time to time with new models. Use a bookmark :p

I've been thinking about the natural handicaps certain sports teams have. Things like weather, elevation, travel distance in a season, etc.

I think it's interesting to think about how much something like that might affect the career of an athlete, especially early in their career or someone who is on the margin of getting into professional sports. Would choosing to play at a university that has a lot of natural handicaps be the difference between making it into pro sports? I wonder.

Anyway, I ended up making a page showing how much baseball teams in MLB have to travel this season: https://calcubest.com/sports/mlb2025 which I think does an OK job of highlighting how much less time athletes playing on central division teams have to travel.

>> This is the smoothest tom sawyer move I've ever seen IRL

That made me laugh. True, but not really the motivation. I honestly don't think LLMs can code significant real-world things yet and I'm not sure how else to prove that since they can code some interesting things. All the talk about putting programmers out of work has me calling BS but also thinking "show me". This task seems like a good combination of simple requirements, not much documentation, real world existing problem, non-trivial code size, limited scope.

From TFA: Maybe there is a better app on Apple Watch for sleep tracking, but I haven't found it.

And what other apps were tried? As you ask, why not try the default? From what I hear, it is “better” (for whatever that means) than Garmin, for example, on sleep tracking. I dunno, it is kind weird to start comparisons with some random paid app rather than the built-in that Apple offers for free.
This requires a Reverse-Osmosis filter which is super expensive. So if you really want to give fluoride, I'd be happy for the government to hand out free sodium fluoride tabs for whoever wants it, in exchange to not force the water to have fluoride by default. See, we get the best of both worlds?

> it's fine that some things just disappear

The thing about History in general is that we as present time people have a poor intuition of what is valuable historic data for people in a future (long time from now) time.

Today we draw conclusions from graffiti on Roman walls or Babylonian complaint records. Arguably at the time nobody would consider vandalism or customer service records worth preserving for posterity.
> equidistant from the edge of the observable universe in all directions

That seems like an example of "streetlight effect." The streetlight effect, or the drunkard's search principle, is a type of observational bias that occurs when people only search for something where it is easiest to look.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetlight_effect
Exactly, I get a little bit uneasy with people throwing around "got disappeared" - it lands as politically charged. What that means to me is something like Khmer Rouge, or Pinochet throwing thousands of people off planes into the ocean (no parachute), tentatively it means gulag, but even with gulag, you're not disappeared, you find out this person is in a gulag somewhere (though is likely to die), having myself read the Gulag Archipeligo.

I'm 100% sure the US government, most governments, have "disappeared" people in a Pinochet style, it's just more rare and likely involves deep state spycraft type things. Even in Guantanamo, people lived, and people were known to be there, and I think that is how people are using "disappeared" i.e. extrajudicial and illegal, but alive and known to be somewhere. It reminds me of people using "violence" to describe writing or speech that make people feel bad, and it's like, okay, if that's what violence means what's the word for getting punched in the face, what's the word for getting tossed off a plane.
I didnt see all in your original post.
These one-shot prompts aren't at all how most engineers use these models for coding. In my experience so far, Gemini 2.5 Pro is great at generating code but not so great at instruction following or tool usage, which are key for any iterative coding tasks. Claude is still king for that reason.
Not the best example. Hydrogen peroxide is actually rather nasty when highly pure.

I love MacBooks and Mac machines however they aren't cut out for specialised work.

I have a M4 Max with 128 GB RAM. If I play Civ VI (a game released in 2016) on it for a few hours without limiting the FPS it will heat up till it turns itself off.

It's not cut out for heavy loads consistently like games or crypto mining. It's cut out for a heavy loads like Xcode compiling for a few minutes then back to editing text.

My gaming machine which has poorer performance (in fps terms) and is equipped with AMD 3700 and a 2080 Super can play Civ VI indefinitely without breaking a sweat.
I think the car looks excellent for what it is. It’s not like there’s a lot of choice in stunning micro EVs. My friend drove a Buddy for a few years. Really neat car, but that’s definitely one that nobody would call beautiful. I’ve seen many people who thinks the Aptera looks great. It has some very good design qualities (sleek and elegant IMO), even if I can see why others wouldn’t like it.

Like others have said, you’re objectively wrong about the solar panels. If you live in a sunny area, if you don’t have off-street parking, and you just need something to commute to work and do errands, the Aptera is technically an excellent choice. You would rarely have to visit a charging station. There’s no denying that the Aptera js efficient enough that the roof solar actually has a meaningful impact for people with median daily use.

The solar panels aren’t meant to make a huge impact on long road trips. So your criticism just doesn’t make any sense. I can kinda understand the confusion considering we’re commenting on this story in particular. But this test is more about demonstrating what the excellent aerodynamics brings to the table. So maybe read a bit more into the intention of the design choices before critiquing it?

> LLMs are not deterministic

They can be. The cloud-hosted LLMs add a gratuitous randomization step to make the output seem more human. (In vein with the moronic idea of selling LLM's as sci-fi human-like assistants.)

But you don't have to add those randomizations. Nothing much is lost if you don't. (Output from my self-hosted LLM's is deterministic.)

It's early days.

- It will work as a library that a tool (e.g. family finance tracker) would be based on;

- Every record will be immutable and undeleteable; the whole thing is space inefficient, though I've some mechanisms in mind for pruning away unnecessary records, and it's just plain text, so I'm not worried: should compress well; I wouldn't envision something like this working well on a very large scale though;

- Editing of preexisting records will be implemented as adding a new record that simply references the previous one as its previous version; also, you can implement a ledger by creating a parent-child chain (though the tracking of signatures I mentioned previously might be a simpler approach);

- I like the append-only model because it gives you history of edits for everything, and protects you in case of mistakes (or malice);

- You'll be able to collaborate on records (and the whole db) with other devices/people; every record will be signed by its author/device; conflicting edits (records marking the same record as their parent) will not be deconflicted automatically by the db: the high level app can choose how it wants to do that: throw up an alarm for the user, ignore the older fork, whatever;

- SyncThing-compatibility will be achieved by simply having each device only edit files specific to it; there won't be a single file that is edited by more than a single device/user, thus, SyncThing conflicts can't happen;

- The db will have fairly good guarantees: if it runs its checks and tells you all's good, you can be sure that records were not changed, there is not a new record masquerading as an old record, a record was not secretely deleted, records weren't reordered, another device didn't edit some other device's files, every record's author is its author;

- It was important for me to make the database easily editable and readable via regular text editors, i.e. not only plaintext, but text-editing-centric, but I've not found a way to do that at the lowest level; right now I'm contemplating using some variant of JSON for the records; however, I do envision a text-interface where the database, or a database query/subset, is rendered as a text file, and edits are automatically picked up by a daemon and translated into new records in the actual db, but that would be just another tool using this db, not a feature of the db itself;

- Like for anything synced via SyncThing, the user (or an app using the db) will want to implement some kind of backup (SyncThing is not meant for backups), unless the data is not sensitive to loss.
How would this stand up to the "I didn't do it, I probably got hacked!" defense? It's one thing to publish personal conversation, and another to have your conversations aggregated by some LLM (and if they leak plain-text, the "hacked" defense is even more plausible).

It's because the UB must be continuously exploited by compilers for that extra 1% perf gain.

I've been eyeing Zig recently. It makes a lot of choices straightforward yet explicit, e.g. you choose between four optimisation strategies: debug, safety, size, perf. Individual programs/libraries can have a default or force one (for the whole program or a compilation unit), but it's customary to delegate that choice to the person actually building from source.

Even simpler story with Go. It's been designed by people who favour correctness over performance, and most compiler flags (like -race, -asan, -clobberdead) exist to help debug problems.

I've been observing a lot of people complain about declining software quality; yearly update treadmills delivering unwanted features and creating two bugs for each one fixed. Simplicity and correctness still seem to be a niche thing; I salute everyone who actually cares.

I prefer the "join" approach for beginners too, but >>= has become so pervasive that I feel bad trying to explain it that way. Turning people loose on monad-heavy code with that approach still leaves them needing to convert their understanding into >>= anyhow.

Sure we do. Go read H.G. Wells "The World Set Free". It's pre WWII, covers these exact topics, and could have been written yesterday. When it was written none of the problems were new.

The book is a utopia, written in the hope that, with unlimited energy (and therefore, unlimited means of production), government upheaval would finally let us transition to a post-scarcity society.

Humanity has had the technology necessary to do that since the 1950s, but instead focused on things like using more fossil fuels, weaponizing food, spreading disease and ignorance, expanding poverty, etc. Both parties in the US have consistently supported all of the above for my entire life.

We're seeing an acceleration of those things under the current administration.

Hopefully, we'll get decent leadership soon. We're still a democracy.
