The phrase "undocumented" is bureaucratic speak for "you can't prove it."

"The allegations are undocumented."

In the context of immigration, one could say "she claims to face persecution in her country of origin, but this is undocumented."

That doesn't really apply to "undocumented immigrants," because it's usually not in doubt someone is an immigrant.

If their place of birth is unknown, and might be in the United States, you could use the phrase "undocumented immigrant."

I agree it's a propaganda phrase, and does not conform to clear English usage.

But "undocumented" does not mean something is sanctioned, it means it must be proven and has not been proven.

One-party-consent only means you can legally record something, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're allowed to share it with (non-government) third parties later.

It could be legal to record and use as evidence in court later, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to share it with some AI company.

Too bad "America" got sick of feckless bureaucrats and was goaded into believing that corporate authoritarians would somehow constitute reform. The bureaucrats would have been guilted into passing a law, or at least cast enough of a regulatory shadow, to constrain the worst abuses of such data. Whereas now this is pretty much guaranteed to be open season in the name of "freedom". To the "nothing to hide" crowd: "Slowly, then all at once".

BGP route origin validation is already partially deployed in the wild, I believe. I recall reading about BGP replacement protocols years back that were being developed to include even stronger route-signing. Once you have that kind of thing in place, you basically have everything you need for a decentralized, origin-focused great firewall, it's just a matter of activating it.
From memory, that book went in at least four different directions with fluorine compounds. Parts are about increasing specific impulse; parts are about increasing density impulse (fluorine's very dense); parts are about formulating oxidizers hypergolic with kerosene or with hydrogen; parts are about formulating oxidizers for deep space probes, with a melting/boiling point range matched to that thermal environment.

O3F2 is the one that if you add it to liquid oxygen, it makes hydrogen/oxygen combustion hypergolic.

From the article:

The concerns about losing ground in science are particularly acute in artificial intelligence, the technology that experts believe is most likely to drive productivity gains in coming decades. American companies have dominated the early phases of the A.I. revolution, partly because much of the foundational work was done at U.S. universities.
I really really wish that LLMs had an "eject" function - as in I could click on any message in a chat, and it would basically start a new clone chat with the current chat's thread history.

There are so many times where I get to a point where the conversation is finally flowing in the way that I want and I would love to "fork" into several directions from that one specific part of the conversation.

Instead I have to rely on a prompt that requests the LLM to compress the entire conversation into a non-prose format that attempts to be as semantically lossless as possible; this sadly never works as in ten did [sic].

It's a business problem, not a tech problem. We don't have a solution you described because half of the air travel industry relies on things not being interoperable. AI is the solution at the limit, one set of companies selling users the ability to show a middle finger to a much wider set of companies - interoperability by literally having a digital human approximation pretending to be the user.
> Image compression, eventual consistency, fuzzy search. There are many more examples I'm sure.

Isn't all of these very deterministic? You can predict what's going to be discarded by the compression algorithm. Eventual consistency is only eventual because of the generation of events. Once that stops, you will have a consistent system and the whole thing can be replayed based on the history of events. Even with fuzzy search you can intuit how to get reliable results and ordering without even looking at the algorithms.

An LLMs based agent is the least efficient method for most of the cases they're marketing if for. Sometimes all you need is a rule-based engine. Then you can add bounded fuzziness where it's actually helpful.

"Stochastic reservoir computers" (2025) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-58349-6 :

> Abstract: [...] This allows the number of readouts to scale exponentially with the size of the reservoir hardware, offering the advantage of compact device size. We prove that classes of stochastic echo state networks form universal approximating classes. We also investigate the performance of two practical examples in classification and chaotic time series prediction. While shot noise is a limiting factor, we show significantly improved performance compared to a deterministic reservoir computer with similar hardware when noise effects are small.
I believe Trump at some point made a statement akin to "I don't care" and "I'll be dead by then" regarding his economic and environmental policies. He doesn't care, he is there to get his and it doesn't matter to him what happens after that or even during if it doesn't impact him personally.
Presumably the requirements for public companies to disclose stuff and generally follow all kinds of rules were somehow for the health of the markets or something like that. I wonder how the markets will fare with the rules neutered.

To be fair, they're trending down at the moment, so maybe there was something there. But truly only time will tell.
She allowed the law to pass by not voting against. There was enough abstention for her voice to matter.

She stole money from the EU, an act she did after being voted MP. She couldn’t have done it if she had not been elected. So, basically she was elected, stole money and she still should not be barred from the next presidential election after she allowed that ban law to be voted?

She chose the path, she should face the consequences.

The compiler removes code under the assumption that your code doesn't have UB. If your code has UB, that's a bug. "When my code is buggy the compiler outputs a buggy executable, but it's buggy in a different way than I want" has always struck me as somewhat of an odd complaint.

Of course it can be difficult to know when you've unintentionally hit UB, which leaves room for footguns. This is probably an unpopular opinion, but to me that's not an argument for rolling back UB-based optimizations; it's an argument for better diagnostics (are you *sure* you meant to do this), rigorous testing, and for eliminating some particularly tricky instances of UB in future revisions of the standard.
Interesting, thanks!

It's probably obscure, but anyone from that time would find it plausible because we know both radio and computers used cassettes.

So for me, this title was "Yeah, I get it how that would work".

For fun I just asked my 16 year old son "Do you think it was possible in the past to download a computer game from the radio?". He thought is was impossible, and had no clue how that would work when asked further :D. It totally confused him because "you can't play games on a radio".

Those were indeed different times.
In the past at least ChatGPT would reply "Building a perpetual motion machine sounds like a great idea, here are some plans on how to get started. Let me know if you need help with any of the details".

This has been a problem with using LLMs for design and brainstorming problems in general. It is virtually impossible to make them go "no, that's a stupid idea and will never work", or even to push back and give serious criticism. No matter what you ask they're just so eager to please.

> Class consciousness is entirely too intellectual and nerdy to ever be popular,

well yea, and Marx is a taboo, nothing new there. Those ideas can be repackaged though, in a way that won't make people foam at the mouth because of the "communist sounding words" (thinking of gary's economics for example). I agree with what you said, it's easier to package an "Anti-something" message, as we see with all the anti-immigrant messaging in the US and Europe, the Anti-Billionaire movement still has not gained even a fraction of the traction though.

Intentional thinking as an input device sounds like a neat idea but I imagine voice or touch interfaces would nearly always be preferable (at least for me).

Brain interfaces are a great resource for those who need them but I suspect our natural capacity for communication will always be superior to artificial reconstructions of those same capacities.
Old aged gouda is the best cheese I ever laid on my tongue. We live in Switzerland next to French border, so there is no end to universe of fine aged original Gruyeres, Beaufort or even Cheddar (but that one probably worse than what one can get in UK), plus all AOC Italian ones. Simply hard cheeses with grain, there are hundreds to choose from.

I love them all, but that gouda taste is something else to me and my wife. French shops just around the border luckily import some of it, I never saw it in Switzerland shops.

One way to upmark any cheese for us to put ie black truffles or wild black garlic in it.

Talking about gouda, gotta get me some slices before kids munch it all again.

Yep! The quickest way to get your users to use incredibly weak passwords and make it so they must physically type it all the time. I can have a 32 character password is unmemorizable, untypable by mortals, and even having a screenshot of it revealed would be a challenge to decipher password for services exposed to the internet. But I need something I can memorize, type with just alphanumerics, and enter quickly for my lock screen.
https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Password_Spraying_At...

> Password spraying is a type of brute force attack. In this attack, an attacker will brute force logins based on list of usernames with default passwords on the application. For example, an attacker will use one password (say, Secure@123) against many different accounts on the application to avoid account lockouts that would normally occur when brute forcing a single account with many passwords.

> This attack can be found commonly where the application or admin sets a default password for the new users.
I think the best shot we have at solving this problem is an explosion of specialized agents. That will limit how off the rails each one can go at interpreting or performing some type of task. The end user still just needs to interact with one agent though, as long as it can delegate properly to subagents.

IEEE 754 defaults are for people who don't get deeply into numerical analysis and Cauchy sequences. Like, ostensibly, most FOSS maintainers. Or most people who write software in general.

There are people that do. HPC and the demoscene have numerous examples. Most of the people I met here are capable of reading gcc's manual and picking the optimizations they actually need. And they know how to debug this stuff.

If it's not obvious who gcc's defaults should cater to, then redefine human-friendly until it becomes obvious.

For real. It's really not that much of a stretch.
It's actually fairly common. Other sibling comments have a lot of examples, but one I'd like to focus on is the swimsuit arms race in competitive swimming. It really got started with Speedo's LZR Racer suit at the 2008 Olympics, where 98% of swimming medals were won by someone wearing one of these suits.

However, there were serious issues with cost and accessibility. These suits cost a lot of money to develop and manufacture, which was passed on to the swim teams. The LZR Racer could cost $550 per suit, with each suit only lasting a handful of races before requiring replacement. This gave a huge advantage to wealthy teams and swimmers with good sponsorship deals, and talented swimmers without a lot of financial resources were left in the dust.

Then there's the basic question of "what skills do we want to measure and reward in this sport?" With swimming, it got to the point where races were won not in the pool, but in the R&D department of swimwear companies. The swimming organizing bodies felt that swimming competitions should be focused on the athletic ability of individual swimmers instead, so advanced swimsuits were banned.

Don't get me wrong, I like F1 a lot, and part of that is the cool cutting-edge technology the teams develop. But for most sports, heavy technological development doesn't lead to more exciting competition, it just adds barriers to entry.

I've had both and I'm going to have to disagree with you here. For the other cheeses, buying a brick is always the right choice. For parmesan, if its going on pasta I'm picking the green plastic tube of presumably mostly filler 100% of the time. Brick parm lacks the proper texture and has too strong of a flavor. Green tube mystery powder I can pour onto my pasta in mounds that then absord the butter making a soft delicious wet sand. Sometimes if I'm looking for a snack I just pour the green tube mystery powder directly into my mouth.

I wish I could find it--I think it was on the Uber engineering blog--but I remember reading a post in which they talked about choosing a less "optimal"/"efficient" implementation in order to better cater to the available hiring pool: it's cheaper and easier to throw more money at hardware, than conjure up the necessary engineering talent

That resonated with me as I turned back around and gazed at the elegant, efficient, and inscrutable-and-difficult-to-debug Reactive-Extensions-based backend I was working on. Maybe Task<List<T>> would have been "better" after all

I did keep reading after that, but it didn't change anything.

As the sibling notes, academics have no problem suddenly finding their voice when they discover a colleague who's secretly harboring mildly right wing views. The open letters, protests, outrage and demands for resignations flow like water until the administration folds, usually about 0.25 seconds later.

The author describes a problem created by the policies of the university leadership, but refuses to lay the blame at their feet. Instead he/she says things like "This is not an educational system problem, this is a societal problem" and "It’s the phones, stupid." after describing a problem that is 100% caused by the faculty themselves. Because where do the deans come from? Why would they have leverage to dismiss a professor who upheld standards? They came from the faculty, and they have leverage because the faculty created this problem and are willing to propagate it.

Absolutely. There are many areas where SW is focused on function and does well. It is unclear to me how AI will impact those areas. Question mark for those who have thoughts?

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote_vs._Acme#Visual_effects... it's a mix.

They apparently actually do have some completely hand-drawn sequences, but I expect the bulk of the animation will be 3D, with appropriate 2 - 2.5D surface shaders. For 3D, they'll probably go pose to pose, with the computer interpolating some things (like physics for floppy ears, say) and the animator manually tuning the intermediate poses for walks and interactions.

Most major 2D animation packages (ToonBoom, Moho, etc.) also have robust integrations now for mixing with real sets ( _everybody_ liked Who Framed Roger Rabbit...), but it doesn't seem that they used them too much.
