There were a few things off about the benchmarks so I made a pull request with some updates. The 12x claim is WAY off. https://github.com/KonnorRogers/view-layer-benchmarks/pull/2...
And all these claims are backed up by some hard scientific proofs?
When you have privilege, equality feels like oppression. I don’t know where I saw that quote from but I feel this summarizes your points.

Punish who for what? Can you demonstrably prove white people were harmed by DEIA? White people ran the last administration and this one too. What more do you want? Do you get upset if you see a black person drive a nicer car than you?

This anti-DEIA stuff is just cooked up to distract you from the real problems facing this country.
Nah this is crazy
Found this in an article linked to by this one:

Exposure to air pollutants increases our risk of developing a range of diseases. These diseases fall into three major categories: cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and cancers.

It makes sense to think of these estimates as ‘avoidable deaths’ – they are the number of deaths that would be avoided if air pollution was reduced to levels that would not increase the risk of developing these lethal diseases.
Ah yes, pop some ketamine, turn this one, and never return.
And yet we still enter zip code after the rest of the address.
How do you manage storage ?
Pollutions impacts people across all age groups, including children and otherwise healthy adults. Many pollution deaths aren't inevitable near-term deaths.

Health effects include:

- Respiratory diseases developing in otherwise healthy people

- Cardiovascular damage at an early age affecting long-term health

- Developmental impacts on children with lifelong consequences

- Cancer and other conditions with substantial life-shortening effects

[EDIT: Found a link - https://artvoice.com/2025/03/10/witness-testimony-raises-que...]

A particularly revealing aspect of Menchel’s cross-examination focused on Mr. Vovor’s feelings toward Ms. Javice. He admitted to sending her flowers, messages, photos, playlists, and even a card without signing his name, instead using a heart emoji. His behavior had previously led to a human resources complaint by Ms. Javice, resulting in a discussion with the company’s legal and Human Resources representative.

[EDIT: All of the below is now inaccurate]

> AFAIK, he did not deny that he made romantic overtures

Depends on how it's phrased - it's common to preface with "What's not explicitly addressed is denied. My Client reserves the right to address the unaddressed claim in the future." in court papers, but I'm not sure if that works for witness-box testimony.

TBH, if he neither denied it nor admitted it while in the witness box, then it is unlikely he was asked the question "Did you make any romantic overture to $X" at all.

And, to be even more honest, if her lawyer avoided asking that question, it's because he knew the answer already.

> (or whatever the hell phrase they used, i can look it up again if you care).

Actually I cannot find the court transcript (my google fu is failing). Do you have a link?

It seems a pretty important part of this thread's premise; assuming that the main witness [did/did not] ask out his boss on a date.
The question would be whether with AI assistants you need to go through the effort of enforcing MECE or just strive for exhaustiveness and let them sort out repetition. I am also wondering whether there is a signal in repetition or even conflicts in documentation.

Must be a late entry.. Unfortunatel the WIL metric overlaps in name with Written in Lisp:

Additionally we propose two new metrics. The Written in Latex (WIL) metric is the proportion of source code of a machine learning library written in LaTeX and the Source code of method in source code of paper (SCOMISCOP) metric is the proportion of the source code of a method that is contained within the source code of the paper.
> all the depositors were bailed out, which is what bailing out a bank means

Not at all. Bailing out a bank means funding the corporation, its owners, and its management to continue their operations. In this case, as the GP makes clear, the corporation was acquired by another financial institution, its owners lost all their money, and the management was fired.

Except if you can manipulate the timestamps, then they aren't relevant anymore, so the search space is much bigger than the intersection of each set of days.

If you're producing in volume that's when the microcontroller and effort involved becomes worth the cost savings. For a static screen that just refreshes every 5 mins a tiny MCU can go a looong way. One could do this with 96k of RAM, the data is just text with a few sprites. As a bonus the whole device would consume a few mA on average.
Mind blown. Thanks!
This is really nice and simple.

I wonder how would the Web develop if something like this appeared in 1997 along with DHTML.
I don't know if it is, but I also don't think we are required to let dumb bots repeatedly assault or web sites if we can find a technical way to get around it.
One of the most striking aspects of air pollution is how invisible yet pervasive its effects are. Unlike more immediate environmental disasters, air pollution slowly chips away at public health, reducing life expectancy and quality of life, often without dramatic headlines. The comparison to starvation as a "frailty multiplier" is an interesting one; pollution doesn’t always kill directly but makes people more susceptible to fatal conditions.

Regarding the reduction in SO₂ emissions from shipping fuel, I’d love to see more discussion on how international regulatory pressure (e.g., IMO 2020) managed to enforce compliance in an industry notorious for cost-cutting. Was it simply a case of the alternatives being feasible enough, or did global coordination and monitoring play a stronger role than usual?

By practice. It requires some skill too, to constantly remove slop and keep the project from deteriorating. Usually by suggesting good architecture, asking for tests, and rewriting / cleaning up some bad code endlessly. Still much faster than manual development.

These problems are easy to solve in practice: just put the candle into a lantern.

> Long a boogeyman of the political right, George Soros, the nonagenarian financier, has been a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin among other left-leaning candidates and causes throughout the nation. In this cycle, he’s donated $2 million to the state party, although his Democracy PAC is not among the outside groups contributing to Crawford.

The billionaire Pritzker gave $1.5 million to state Democrats.

By comparison:

> [Musk] endorsed Schimel in January and has donated $3 million to the Republican Party of Wisconsin to date. Groups linked to him, including Building America’s Future and his own America PAC, have also spent more than $17 million, according to the Brennan Center.

It also mentions the billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein. "Richard has donated $1.65 million to the Wisconsin Republican Party and Elizabeth has donated more than $2.34 million. Their PAC, Fair Courts America, has also put $3.96 million into the race, all in support of Schimel."

Hey, I have an idea! Let's heavily tax the rich and turn all of those billionaires into multi-millionaires! $10 million in wealth ought to be good enough for anyone, right?

And no trust funds or charities or other legal methods the rich use to pretend the money isn't actually under their control.
This looks cool, but does anyone know how they handle uploaded photos? Many AI image tools store or use inputs for training. If privacy isn’t a focus, your face could end up in unexpected places.
The book identifies a problem that you yourself agree with: the Democratic coalition can't build anything, can't satisfy the needs of its constituents, is losing those constituents to Republican states that can, and is losing the faith of the electorate. It also offers a diagnosis (or rather, a set of them): the unintended consequences of localism, a legislative and regulatory system that oriented more than checking boxes with every faction of the coalition than having coherent goals like "house people" or "deploy clean energy", and an unwillingness of the coalition to revisit the decisions of previous generations in light of current challenges.

Do you think any of these diagnoses are wrong? Or are you just bored by them?

I built something like this. I am amused that mine too was built for my wife and also was one of the few techie things I've ever done that received unqualified spousal approval.

Mine shows weather and tide times at my wife's rowing club. It has the form-factor of a large fridge magnet. This led to the need to be battery powered and therefore very frugal with power - so a RPi wasn't feasible. It uses an ESP32. The data itself is collated by an AWS lambda.
RubyUI looks interesting, but I wonder how well it scales in large apps. Moving away from ERB makes sense for maintainability, but does it introduce any trade-offs in terms of memory usage or debugging? Would love to hear from people using it in production.

I heard of a study many years ago that concluded that listening to music you like made you drive your car a bit faster, regardless of the pace of your preferred music. Not sure that translates to cognitive performance, but might suggest listening to music at the gym is useful.
I wouldn’t call it collusion but, of course, they’re aggregating what leading companies find to be best practices—although they presumably don’t share individual company IP. Not much different really from when tech folks go to conferences.

Companies benchmark and consider industry best practices all the time. If they don’t they’re idiots.

Im not a huge fan of management consultants generally, but consultants and analysts can provide useful third party perspectives, in part because they talk to a lot of companies that you may have mess directly with access to.
I guess many web developers would climb on a roof and throw stones, because then they really needed to learn HTML and using its elements semantically. And probably many of their web components would no longer type check either, forcing them to reimplement or use simpler elements.
To be honest: yes, at this point, and with an industry of this scale, it's a bit shocking to me.

I don't know the main actors here, but I imagine the leverage of shipping companies on western countries is incredible ? ("oh, you think our boats are too polluting ? sure, let's see how you bring "about everything that's sold in about all your shops but that is manufactured half a world away" without our boats.")
Very good actor.
Thanks for sharing this, it looks really cool. I also wanted to explicitly mention that the graphics are great. IDK if you made them, or got help, but they do a great job explaining your point. It can be hard to create graphics for technical concepts like pages and databases, but these work well.
Sadly, despite a stem PhD, I have no way of assessing whether this is an April Fools submission or not. I recognise some of the words in the abstract, like 'non-Abelian', but that's it.

There can be 2 or more transistors in a dip-8, but I think the point is more that the wrong dip-8 was given, not which specific dip-8.

I change details when I tell stories, both to prevent eyes glazing, and because the details don't matter that much. If I told this story to a neighbor it wouldn't involve the words "dip-8", 555, or "transistor".

For instance I had a professor that just did not like me. I did all the work, the papers, but the second paper assigned was about bioethics and at the time there was a lot of negative press about that subject and I went really deep into a subject I had never heard of before. Well the prof was a bioethicist, and on some bioethics committee, and did not like my prose. I barely passed that class that semester. I think they knew they couldn't fail me because, as I said, I did the work; but they certainly made me not want to continue college, that's for sure.

This is a good observation.

As someone who writes a lot of Lisp, I'm inclined to agree as the amount of people that have never written any Lisp yet immediately reject it over syntax over fears that it somehow hampers development is a (to me) surprisingly large number of people.

If I recall correctly, one of the motivating factors for Rescript was to reduce the perceived/real distance between Reason and JS in order to attract more JS devs, as Reason was so heavily associated with OCaml.

It’s not easy to access them for digitalisation. The museum which holds them, have to get them out of storage for you which involves a curator and his time. Also afaik many aren’t labelled extensive making it difficult to choose the ones you are looking for.

When your estimation is accurate, then there are likely hundred thousand fragments in simple labelled boxes, laying around in storages. To digitalise them would require a lot of money, the agreement of the museums and personnel.

Are you using `shasum -a 256`? It defaults to SHA-1 otherwise.

I get the correct hash on linux using sha256sum.

Edit: You may need to pass -b (--binary). The man page[0] says it defaults to "text mode," whatever that means (this SO question[1] for md5sum suggests it has to do with how it opens the file, which apparently makes no difference on Linux/Windows but maybe it does on Mac?)

I am sure your argument is well received at your code review.
It's a term to describe using an agentic LLM based assistant to write the majority of the code but without even taking the bare minimum of time to review the output. I laughed when people naively claimed that it was intended for proof-of-concepts only and would never be used in actual "production".

I use the Roland 505ii looper, and do massive 'samples' - whole verses etc, great for song analysis, practice etc. If I could incorporate something into a hit song, I'd happily pay the royalties to the 'samplee'. I rather suspect the early days of sampling/ hip hop etc, it was the "how do we get paid...they're ripping us off" panic that created issues. Now, the money-flow has been standardised, and sped up, there are considerably less problems.
Oh, my favourite example of extreme sampling - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJYeSpyRpRA&list=PLXa6-G1Tk7...
I think the story presents a thought-provoking concept about life, death, and reincarnation. The idea that all humans are essentially different incarnations of the same soul, experiencing every perspective across time to mature into something greater, is both mind-bending and oddly comforting. It’s a clever twist on the meaning of existence, blending philosophy with a cosmic narrative.
I guess I'm somewhat worried about not being able to get back to tech again, but I just realized I can still do open source contribution if I want to when doing WH.

I'm in a weird state that I have an okay amount of saving for me to do this, but I'm still worried because I had been through having almost zero money and two years of unemployment, I'm scared to get back to that again.

In the end, I know I have to let this thing go or I'll never become happy even if I'm making tons of money, gotta enjoy life sometimes, thanks for the words!

Best of luck in our journeys too!

"The models might become viable at some point" is very different from the original claim at the top level of this comment chain, though, which made a positive assertion that agent-based models are better.
