"These DOGE operatives appear to have no work experience that’s remotely close to the VA in terms of its scale or complexity. The VA administers all the government benefits afforded to veterans and their families for roughly 10 million people, including education, loans, disability payments, and health care. Lavingia is the CEO of Gumroad, a platform that helps creatives sell their work and takes a cut of each sale. More recently, according to his blog, Lavingia launched Flexile, a tool to manage and pay contractors. According to his LinkedIn profile, Lavingia was the second employee at Pinterest, which he left in 2011 to found Gumroad. Lavingia is also an angel investor in other startups via SHL Capital, which backed Clubhouse and Lambda School, among others."
"Plus, I'm gonna declare that we're already in a secret war with a gang from Venezuela, and use that to kidnap latino-looking people off the streets, and if we find non-citizens--even if they're legally allowed to be here--I'll send them a gulag I rented from the dictator of El Salvador... So don't be mean to me."

Crescendoing into a movement doesn't /do/ anything. This is just self-satisfaction for the kinds of people who like protesting.

Other things like voting and getting elected do actually do something.

Thousands for weeks on end protested the carpet bombing of Gaza, Germans as well as Foreigners. Many respectable foreign and German organisations invited to participate and organized those protests. And only very few of those protesting were arrested or even investigated.

Those who were usually did something more than protest, like showing support for terrorist organizations like Hamas or ISIS by showing the respective flag, harassing counter-protesters, shouting controversial slogans like "from the river to the sea..." (which is thought to imply destroying Israel and therefore "Volksverhetzung", although I'm not sure if the courts are already through with that one) or just plainly calling for the killing of Jews or the eradication of Israel.

Actually, the police was very patient and tame with those protests, too patient and too tame for the taste of many. A common, not totally unjustified opinion was that if those protests were just Germans protesting about a strictly German issue (like "Stuttgart21" or "Startbahn West" back in the day) and behaving like the pro-Palestine protestors did, there would have been riot police tear-gassing and bludgeoning everyone within half an hour.
Another thing that LLMs are (surprisingly?) good at is randomly mixed language conversations, here's something I tried a few days ago:

Prompt: Kan du comprender questo text? Anata wa quelque inkling habe about lo que se parla dans la presente oraçao? Repondez med sam way of goboriu.

ChatGPT:

Ja, ich kann verstehen este mix de idiomas! Tu es usando une combinación de várias línguas pour expresar una pregunta. Je vais responder en the same modo:

Si tu veux kommunicieren en cette manière, c'est possible, aber il peut être ein bisschen confusing pour andere people! 你觉得这个方式有趣吗？ O préfères-tu un idioma más claro?

Deepseek:

Ja, jeg kan forstå en lille bit av ciò que tu está dizendo. Anata no message wa molto interessante, pero un poco confusing aussi. Si tu peux écrire in una lingua sola, sería plus facile para mi at comprender. Danke, merci, arigatou!

Claude:

Oui, je kan entender algo of this texte mezclado! C'est un interessante modo de communicare using différentes languages together. Je trouve ça quite divertido y puedo responder en la misma manera mixta. Ist das what you were looking for? Watashi wa happy to continue questa conversation in whatever linguistic style anata wa prefer!

Perplexity:

Ja, ich kann diesen Text verstehen! Vous avez créé una frase muy interesante con palabras from different languages. Let me rispondere using a similar mishmash of lingue:

Questo è un esempio fascinante di code-switching e language mixing. Watashi wa impressed by la creatività y el modo en que vous avez combiné various idiomas in one sentence. Es ist ein poco challenging zu decifrar, aber anche molto divertente!

Ich würde sagen que el mensaje principal è about compréhension linguistique et la capacité de entender verschiedene Sprachen when they're mixed together. C'est une manière intéressante de tester language skills et cognitive flexibility.

Grazie for questa stimolante question! J'espère que mi respuesta was equally entertaining und in lo mismo estilo multilingüe.
"They are stuck in 2020 office jobs and weekend open source tech, programming-wise."

You say that like it's nothing special! Honestly I'm still in awe at the ability of modern LLMs to do any kind of programming. It's weird how something that would have been science fiction 5 years ago is now normalised.
>end up with UEFI > NT6 bootloader > Windows or Linux

I don't see any advantage to involving Microsoft in the boot process.

>paying attention to the built-in NT6 bootmenu

UEFI firmware vendors provide a boot manager (the UI) for choosing what installed OS to boot. Apple has offered a graphical boot manager (option key at the boot chime) since forever.

NT6 isn't free or open source software so I don't see the various Linux projects wanting NT6 involved at all, in either the single or dual boot use case.

But in effect you're proposing different boot paths, and different UI/UX depending on whether the system is Linux-only or dual boot Windows Linux.

>This deficiency was not a factor before UEFI struck

I can't tell what deficiency you think UEFI has that BIOS didn't have. But maybe you don't like specs? Or are you referring to the much latter added UEFI Secure Boot?

>No matter what, there's not supposed to be any need for a shim.

You seem to think Microsoft wants to be in the business of executing arbitrary and unsigned code, despite all efforts proving the opposite.
Actually, about 31% of the voters blew it. There were ~245M eligible voters and ~77M cast the deciding vote.

He’s great. I learned a ton from him when I was starting my computational biology studies as a grad student.
Right now countries around the world are re-organizing their trading patterns in ways that will have permanent effects. Even if Trump cancels the tariffs tomorrow, he would have to convince the rest of the world that he'll never do anything like this again -- and that actually he (and the US) are reliable trading partners. I just can't see how he'd do it if he wanted to, and I don't think he wants to.

Sure, hopefully we all value Palestinian lives. I certainly do. Where the consensus breaks down is what does that mean in practice? Should Israel be allowed to attack terrorist organizations in Palestine? If so, is there an "acceptable" level of civilian casualties (collateral damage)? Does that level change if the terrorists intentionally use civilians as human shields, for example by using a hospital as an operating base or launching rockets from civilian residential neighborhoods?

To be clear I am not attempting to defend war crimes or terrorist activity or anything like that. I'm just pointing out that simply valuing Palestinian lives is rather meaningless and empty unless it translates into action.
And when they turn violent, that's when they go to the next phase of calling in martial law and turning the military against US citizens. And Congress will sit back and let it happen.

there is no release of cutile (yet). so the only substantive thing that the article can be describing is cuda-core - which it does describe and is a recent/new addition to the ecosystem.

man i can't fathom glazing a random blog this hard just because it's tangentially related to some other thing (NV GPUs) that clearly people only vaguely understand.
> Strongly agree. The problem is that Hamas represents them (illegitimately IMHO)

Thats a dangerous line of argument to make. Zionists work VERY hard to promote the idea that they represent all jews. I for one would take great offense to the idea that all jews are land stealing colonialist savages. Its just as dangerous to normalize the idea that hammas represents palestinians
The claim that 'austerity' resulted in the Great Depression is nonsense. I don't know of serious economist who actually believes that. Its the opposite actually, deflation causes some governments to adopt austerity, specifically governments who can't control their money. See Adam Tooze argument why Germany didn't want to leave the gold standard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Alx_JDpQio

The reality is, no matter if the German government had increased or decreased spending, the Great Depression was bigger then Germany and would have impacted Germany either way.

The deflation happened because of the massive accumulation of gold by the central banks of France and the US. France and the US manipulated the gold standard.

And the Financial crisis of 1929 wasn't really the bad part, that was a stock collapse. But this doesn't make a great depression, stock went down more in 1987 then in 1929.

The situation in 1929 caused many problems in the US horrifyingly organized banking system (that's its own topic) and further restricted the money supply. The Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act lead to banks collapsing in Europe and continued the restriction of the money supply.

The countries that left the gold standard early were more successful then those that left later. Economist like R. G. Hawtrey (one of the most famous economists at the time) spend literally 10 years warning people that this would happen because the Post-WW1 gold standard was so flawed. Had they listened to him, there might have still been some amount of stock collapse in 1929 but the real issue was not the 1929 stock collapse, but rather the 1930/1931 deflation.

So 'austerity' has nothing to do with it really, its only a background character.

Yeah, as in "you can just go and buy one." It looks like they made it intentionally hard to acquire the ticket: government issued identification required, no way to purchase it ad hoc, subscription only; it's German bureaucratic hell. It's as if they want it to fail.
I really wish Numbers was fully Excel compatible and I could get rid of this Microsoft spyware nonsense. I even bought WP Office, but even that tries to force you into their cloud drive.

I really wish there was a fully compatible Microsoft Office that I could use across my Apple devices that doesn’t shove some random cloud solution and end up with my files spread all over the place. I would pay more to have a OneDrive less office.

The entire article has AI gen content into the mix. But I get it. Yes people are going to get obliterated if they only rely on AI for answers.
It's a subscription requiring a German bank account in most cases. In theory any SEPA account should work, but it's a well-known problem that sellers break the law and accept only domestic accounts.

However, reportedly a small number of apps allow paying by credit card. And some are more flexible regarding cancelling the subscription than others.
Oh, and science? Education? Fuck 'em.
Why do you say that?

Because the components are going to become more expensive?

Because the US labor is more expensive?

Do you know how it breaks down?
That's what gets me. Trump has been telling us he was going to tank the stock market and increase unemployment -- it was practically his entire platform. Why are so many people acting surprised?
I'll be pissed if they broke my Ubuntu instance ...again under the guise of security.

> Meanwhile IE and Windows were notorious for being terrible pieces of software.

My feeling of IE3 to IE6 (at its release time) is that (anti-competitive strategies aside), many (most?) average consumers would very likely choose IE over Netscape if they gave both a bit of a test drive.

In 1996 (maybe 1997) I was 14/15 at the time and remember coming to the conclusion that IE3 ran much faster on Windows 95 compared to Netscape.

It being (anticompetitively) free helped, but on the 100Mhz Pentiums with 8MB of RAM in our computer lab, you’d be a masochist to choose Netscape over it for random web browsing.

IE4 was quite resource intensive, but because MS anticompetitively pre-loaded it on OS startup, it still started faster than Netscape.

IE6 I found pleasant to use and it wasn’t until Firefox came out with tabs (Opera had them earlier, but you would often encounter websites it wouldn’t render properly, probably due to IE targeted design), that IE lost its sheen for me.

Firefox was popular enough that developers started caring about standards compliant websites at which point IE started entering the “despised” category, but it may not have actually been displaced from its top spot were it not for Chrome.
It is funny to see this type of comment downthread of a criticism of bothsidesism. You set up a spectrum in which one "extreme" is the status quo of American culture going back generations and the other "extreme" is a seemingly impossible to achieve idea for which I have never seen a single reasonable person advocate. One of those is a lot more extreme than the other. The only reason we are even having this conversation in this thread is because the Trump administration is trying to be more extreme than your first "extreme" by having the US government inflict consequences for speech.
Americans can't buy the ticket. EU citizens only.
Double-checked and that’s quite strong.

I too dissociated from my work and I did it for decades. This is not a healthy thing for a human to do and there will be an emotional debt paid, at some point even if only done for weeks, or months.

I'm glad you did not last long in the industry, for your personal and our collective goods. I hope you're in a good place today.
>It makes me wonder though - whether it’s more valuable to spend a year on a scene that most people won’t pay that much attention to (artists will understand and appreciate, maybe pause and rewind and replay and examine the details, the casual viewer just enjoy at a glance) or use tools in addition to your own skills to knock it out of the park in a month and make more great things.

If they didn't spend a year on it they wouldn't be copied now.
I have very little understanding of geopolitics or economics, so these tariffs don't make sense to me, and they don't seem to make sense to most people.

What’s the best steelman argument for them?

I’ve read a bit of Peter Navarro and others who support this line of thinking, but I’m trying to understand: is there a coherent endgame here that benefits the country long-term, or is this just short-term political theater dressed up as strategy?

It is their right to be there. They do not have to show appreciation and the current government should never be one deciding these what is appreciation. Bowing to authority is exactly the opposite of what education is about.
I took a brief look at the MCP documentation today, and left looking confused. At a high level that protocol looks like a massive swiss-army knife that could potentially do everything, and the use-case in TFA looks like it's implementing one very specific tool within that large swiss-army knife. Both need better explanation.

My latest side project started a couple weeks ago when I received an email from Cox that they would be forcing an unmanageable wifi network onto my router so that their cell customers would get more wifi coverage or something.

So I ordered a DOCSIS 3.1 modem off amazon, then went and rummaged around in my storage box for an old 2013 macbook air, installed ubuntu server on it, and finally learned how to setup a home router with DHCP, DNS, NAT, firewall, etc. Pihole was a lot of that, and I installed it as a docker container so that was a fun thing to learn to manage as well.

As an aside, ChatGPT made most of this possible. I have used *nix off and on for 25 years but haven't done serious system administration in at least 15 years. ChatGPT is definitely the crutch I needed to get off my ass and do more side projects.
They were stopped because they were following the rules to enact change: legislation. Trump is just blatantly subverting the constitution, there's no vote they can block or fill buster. It's done. Over. Kaput.

I'm so tired of hearing that even when it's the Republican's fault, it's the Democrats to blame for not... What? Committing an assassination? They have zero power in the federal government. No house, no senate, no judicial, no executive. Nothing.

I suppose hotels can have a few rooms with kitchens but I'm guessing a vanishingly few people care about kitchens when traveling outside of maybe a microwave and a small refrigerator. AirBnB that are larger (e.g. houses) can also be nice for groups but that's more outside of cities than in a city center. Hotels tend to optimize for the 90% case.

I didn't understand put options until this month. Today I bought puts w/ 1 or 2-week expirations on virtually all of the top 20 companies (by size) that were at their 52-week high. Didn't matter that I never had heard of some of them (AWK is a water company?), made gains on everything. My only mistake was not betting against Phillip Morris, thinking that people will probably want to vape/smoke even more during this crisis, but nope, they fell 7% too.

Obviously it can't be that easy, but seems like the market still thinks Trump might just do a complete 180? I guess he's done so multiple times the last two months, but those threats/alarms seem like dry runs from which he's crafted his current policy.
