Yeah noticed the same. The guessing dictionary needs to be a lot more expansive than the target word list. I think that model is standard for most wordles so it's definitely suboptimal in that way. I might fork this and make some changes and add a few other things I want.

That whole section seems to be pretty directly based on DeepSeek's "very impressive work" with R1 being simultaneously very impressive, and several months behind OpenAI. (They more or less say as much in footnote 36.) They blame this on US chip controls just barely holding China back from the cutting edge by a few months. I wouldn't call that a knock on Chinese innovation.

In my country, any fine > 135€ have to be given by a judge. If you want to discriminate between 'crime' and 'offense', be my guest, breaking the law get you fined, respect it, you'll be fine.
Microsoft seems doomed either way. Microsoft tried to drop their own implementations of OpenID/OAuth providers and they tried supporting IdentityServer and made it a part of some base templates and IdentityServer said that was the reason they "needed" to make it commercial and blamed Microsoft for directing too much traffic their way. If Microsoft builds their own library instead of pointing people to an open source offering it looks like favoritism and competition and "we need to go commercial to survive". If Microsoft points people to an open source offering it looks like "a flood of traffic and we need to go commercial to survive".

Microsoft even donates regularly to things like GitHub Sponsorships and the major open source foundations/conservatories, so even in the case of "too much traffic" it isn't like Microsoft is trying to shirk that bill, even though it is very easy to accuse them of that.

Thanks for writing all this down! I've written a lot of Rust, which was why I was drawn to RMK initially, but ran into a lot of the same headaches as the author, but without the perseverance to resolve any of them.

I did manage to get QMK working eventually, but without VIA/L the prospect of having to flash the two parts of my Ferris Sweep every single time I wanted to fine tune it, and having already spent a lot of time just getting that far, completely burned me out on the project.
No, what was described was specifically reporting to an external party the neural connections involved in the mistake and the source in past training data that caused them, as well as learning from new data.

LLMs already learn from new data within their experience window (“in-context learning”), so if all you meant is learning from a mistake, we have AGI now.
I don’t think very many people have flip flopped to “actually the war in Iraq was good.” How many examples of this can you point to?
Perhaps think on that a bit more then. Consider for example that female-only spaces don't exclude women who are pregnant with male babies.
From the post:

> As TabSub uses local store this only works on the same domain, as the browser separates the local storage by domains as security measure.

(More precisely, the separation is based on origin, which is roughly the combination of protocol, hostname, and port.)

The conclusion is this only works between tabs that have the same website open.
> US tech companies are about to be used as the biggest punching bag in history by the European Union. They’ll negotiate first, for sure, because that’s what the EU likes to do, but for sure the fines and reciprocal non-tariff barriers are going to only expand for US tech firms in the very near future if the Trump admin doesn’t want to negotiate.

For sure this will happen but there is a reason. The EU turned a blind eye on a lot of dark patterns used by the biggest players (such as lenient approach to scams that are omnipresent on Facebook, Instagram, Google platforms) and whatever these companies did they knew they might get a slap on the wrist maximum. Now that good relations are over, why would the EU tolerate this shit?
Humans also post-rationalize the things their subconscious "gut feeling" came up with.

I have no problem for a system to present a reasonable argument leading to a production/solution, even if that materially was not what happened in the generation process.

I'd go even further and pose that probably requiring the "explanation" to be not just congruent but identical with the production would either lead to incomprehensible justifications or severely limited production systems.

Tesla has the capacity to produce 2.5 to 3 million cars a year. They are constantly building new capacity.

The fact that they aren't production constrained isn't indicative of a decline is demand since the company only sold 1.7M cars last year.
> transphobic but support abortion so they have always voted Democrat

This is the NYT if you want a high-profile example of this existing in the real world.

I worked with a guy who was a goldmine of odd but sincerely held political opinions that subverted the usual narratives. He was (I guess still is) gay but believed that trans people shouldn't serve in the military because he saw that they didn't get the treatment they needed. He wanted everyone to have guns as a protection against crooked cops-- he was from a small town. He was against single-payer healthcare because he thought the government would use it as a political weapon. He was was in theory anti-union because he thought union benefits should just be turned into labor protections for everyone instead of just being for union jobs and supported them only as a stopgap. He was pro-solar/wind and had an electric car not for any environmental reason but because he didn't want to be reliant on the greedy power company.

China has direct copies of our Reaper drones, they aren't some advanced technology, they are very simple craft actually, and descend from essentially target drones and some toys the navy put together in the 80s.

>but they aren't helping to establish air superiority.

A reaper style drone does nothing for air superiority. It's not meant to. It's a surveillance and ground attack platform. It has no means of equipping or targeting actual air to air munitions meant for Air Superiority.

Why did you believe the MQ9 was relevant to air superiority? Or some special machine that China couldn't make?

It’s easy to name essential services that the government must perform, but it’s also true that there are clearly functions that can be carried out by less people more efficiently and also functions the government is performing that shouldn’t be done.

We have an enormous budget deficit.

I really feel it’s a breath of fresh air to have an administration going line by line through our expenses and trying to improve upon them and it’s long overdue. If you compare it to George Bush, the last republican president who’s goal was to simply privatize everything and seemed to have just created a class of contractors who make government more expensive and try to charge as much as possible or Biden and Obama who hired tons of people and created large deficits.

I don’t find myself agreeing with the language Trump uses, but their actual goals make a lot of sense and we should find a way to meet in the middle and accept that changes are necessary and ideal.
A political theory has been presented several times now: Asserting "You must <insert expectation>" does not create an obligation.

While you have put in every effort to skirt around the theory, my take is that you must reject it. Your replies would not fit otherwise. On the basis of that that assumption,

- You are now obligated to make me lunch. I have asserted that you must do it.

But what does that mean? We both know you aren't actually going to do it. You aren't going to feel remorse when you don't do it. You will suffer no consequences if you don't do it. What, exactly, is trying to be communicated with the word "obligation"?

Per the dictionary, one must be compelled into an obligation. It is being compelled that adds sufficient information to justify the use of the word in that context. But where does it find information under your pet definition?
> I see many in the US thinking that Trump is an idiot. No, he is not. He is a blatant liar.

Why not both?
For the average person, the benefits of having your own email domain are not very weighty compared to the risks, complexities, spent social capital, and inconvenience of having one.

For most people, if they want or need to switch email providers they will simply sign up for a new service, give people their new address, and move on with their life.

This whole conversation is a lot to do about something that the average joe just doesn't give a shit about. It isn't laziness. It really isn't that important of a life task for most. It's an appropriate prioritization of tasks under a lifestyle different than yours.
A succinct book which is a good primer for thinking through things is "Rulebook for Arguments" by Anthony Weston. Quick to get through and understandable.
If I could copy one feature from Steam to the Apple Store it would be seasonal sales. And bundle prices. If I could copy two features from Steam to the Apple Store...

My friend had to go through huge gyrations to offer a discount for upgrades on a productivity app. Your choices seem to mostly be either never get paid again by old customers or over/undercharge people.

On Steam you can sort it out with a bundle discount.
> the gamer-stupidity seems to forget this and give all credit to Valve which is ignorant and disrespectful to the work Wine has put in over several decades

You seem to be forgetting that Steam Machines existed back then, and Wine barely supported D3D9.dll in those days. Valve and Codeweavers did the majority of the work bringing up DXVK, without which there would be no DX11/DX12 game support on Linux at all. It's not exaggeration to say that the Steam Deck would not have been a success if DXVK never existed.

There's certainly cause to celebrate Wine's accomplishments reverse-engineering Win32. But it's far from the only thing required to get games running, and I think you've oversold it's importance.

> Lots of Linux ports have been cancelled since this is becoming the norm..

Shocker. Given the way MacOS is treated by game developers, I'd much prefer translation be the focus instead of courting native ports that will break in 2 months from a glibc update.

> to sell a handheld running wine on battery I'd be pissing myself laughing from how inefficient and terrible that sounds

I'm not sure why. The GPU is where the lion's share of power consumption happens, and Proton uses the same Vulkan API that modern, native Linux titles target. Sure, you have to wait for shaders to cache, but you have to do that on most Windows PCs nowadays too.
I agree that conversation is generally not very productive as we often talk past each other.

I would recommend anyone that struggle to discuss divisive or controversial topics to learn and watch Street Epistemology [0], or Compassionate Epistemology [1]. It's comparable to a Socratic dialog.

The basic idea that I got out of it is to unwrap one, and only one, person's beliefs at the time, find their best reason for that belief and see if the reason holds if it was used to believe something else. Repeat with the next best if not.
By hiding your opinion on a topic, it's a lot easier to explore someone else's as they shouldn't get defensive or combative.

>Companies in country X tend to develop their products in conformance with country X

You have the order wrong. The companies came first, then came the laws. So we might reverse this statement to: "countries with company X in them tend to develop their laws so that company X is in conformance with those laws". This latter statement seems likely enough to be true, and is exactly the point of order in this discussion.

>By the same token, I would be surprised if US companies habitually developed products that don't conform with US law.

It's called "growth hacking". Uber was quite famous for it. The only time you'd benefit from breaking the law in a foreign country vs. your own country is if you intend to exit the market of that country; you don't have to worry about paying fines if the country can't reach you. If the intention is to continue doing business there, then any punishment will have to be borne just as if you were headquartered there.

>This means that the fines are not high enough and don't fulfill their purpose.

You're missing the point. The laws scale so that eventually they will be high enough that the company has to conform. The point I'm making is that a company's willingness to break a law shows that the law is costing them money, and we can even estimate how much money it costs them by the size of the fine. If we assume that all laws are fair and just then this just means that the company is evil. However, as we showed above, some laws are unjust, hence them costing a company money can be a way of unfairly extracting money from those companies.
You are confusing sentience or consciousness with intelligence.
Item Flow is a unified system that could generalize and replace today's layout-type specific Flexbox, Grid, and Masonry, and along with simplifying layout, would unlock new abilities.

> As we worked through the details, we started to get excited. Suddenly new features for Flexbox and Grid that people have wanted for years had an obvious home. Things seemed to click together elegantly. New capabilities emerged: (1) Flexbox could gain a way to do dense packing. (2) Grid could gain the ability to turn off wrapping (3) Masonry layouts could now be triggered with a value for item-flow, and more…

Oh brother. Self-awareness about your political conditioning and biases should be step 1.

I've always been interested in spaced repetition but never had the patience to learn the "right" way to do it. This looks pretty helpful.

Do you think this AI x repetition concept works better for some types of learning than others?
> What are the flaws in this thinking?

That the national debt matters.

A) The Fed & Treasury have the ability to buy back the securities at any time if they wanted, since they can basically poof the currency into existence. And t-bonds are as good as cash anyways, so that money is basically already in the economy.

B) The country's national debt is also our citizens' savings accounts. Every major company in the country (and the gov't itself) holds an absurd amount of t-bonds because its the best place to store billions of dollars for safe keeping. Paying off the debt means this capital needs to go somewhere. Should it go to China? The EU? Canada? American real estate?

The national debt is probably the most misunderstood concept in the country. It's denominated in USD, unlike other countries, whose debt is borrowed in currencies they don't control. And "paying off" the national debt risks capital flight and/or asset bubbles - both of which are detrimental to the economy.

The system we have in place is a good one.

Thought experiment: consider what would happen if the US Treasury decided interest rates are negative. That is, you pay $10,000 for a bond and receive back $9,900 after 10 years. What do you think this would do to the economy?

Now ratchet up that negative rate to 100%, that is, you pay $10k for a t-bond and eventually it's worth $0 after 10 years. That's pretty much what paying off the national debt would do (in fact, that's probably how the national debt would be paid off, if ordered to do so, the fed would purchase these bonds and the treasury would use the proceeds to buy existing bonds off the open market). It's two sides to the same coin, but instead of prohibiting the purchase of t-bonds, you just disincentivize it.
Arch user here. These things work much nicer than any of the previous alternatives. Sure, kernel signing is a bit of a mess, but that's more of a product of how key-signing at a low-level works than anything. Cryptsetup, cryptenroll, unified kernel images, and systemd-boot worked for me out of box.

onsite-only, no remote?
Yeah pulseaudio was like "you need this so you can have two apps playing music at the same time" entirely ignoring the existence of sound cards with mixers or the alsa soft mixer. Similarly, systemd was hyped at the time for, among others, allowing parallel service start entirely ignoring the several init systems that were already managing parallel start quite happily.
That doesn't allow signaling another tab, does it?
Finally. AnimeJS is such an amazing project, congratulations on the release.
Same as everybody else. Today.
The problem with expanding the definition like that is that it also includes the violent death of the aggressing coalition. We could argue that America's relationship with the PKK or Peshmega was "human rights abuse" under that sort of umbrella. Or you could go full stupid-mode and argue that the Vietnam War was an attack on American human rights, foisted onto Northern Korea under the evil auspices of... checks clipboard ...American-provided military regiments.

Again, read what I said and not what you think I meant. The alternative to "liberal hegemony" in the examples you provided are uniquely catastrophic and inherently impact America. You cannot even fathom what 9/11 would have looked like if the US treated Balkan denuclearization as a back-burner issue.

Yes, it sucks the absolute biggest dick that we have to send American troops to defend these interests. No, it is not a good enough reason to forfeit being a world superpower and let ourselves get glassed because AIPAC has American politicians by the balls.
I really don't think this is entirely spurious considering Elon has been using LLMs to fire government employees. It seems like a very plausible explanation for how they came up with this policy.
To them, removing empathy allows doing “what needs to be done,” like sending undesirables to a desolate work camp in a foreign country without any legal recourse.

> It’s naive to think we can clean out the NSA, FBI, and CIA.

It's naive to shoot the messenger and think you've killed the message. If USAID is a conduit for the FBI and CIA's wrongdoing, then we haven't actually punished anyone responsible. We're cheering on our own ineptitude, patting ourselves on the back for dismantling a "deep state" on paper, one that still exists with the exact same motives.

If you have any privileged knowledge of USAID that proves me wrong, I welcome you to share it. It sounds like we both agree that the real problem is intelligence agencies that would disguise themselves in a Red Cross truck if given the opportunity. But sure, let's demonize the Red Cross instead of the people ignoring the conventions of lawful warfare. They are the issue.
We are AI 1.0

Just like Web 1.0 - when the best we could think of to do was shovel existing printed brochures onto web pages.

In AI 1.0 we are simply shoveling existing programming languages into the LLM - in no way marrying programming and LLM - they exist as entirely different worlds.

AI 2.0 will be programming languages - or language features - specifically designed for LLMs.

I get the frustration with art discourse that it can feel exclusionary or pretentious. There are definitely versions of that discussion that are more about gatekeeping than appreciation.

I think the original, parent comment was coming from a much more generous place. Like that top parent commenter, to me the Halberstadt organ piece isn’t about being highbrow or obscure; it’s about a kind of radical optimism—committing to something weird, beautiful, and long-term in a world that often feels very short-sighted. I don’t think you need to read Derrida or listen to Stockhausen to find meaning in that. Just as you don’t need to love AI or NFTs to appreciate innovation.

Many may think that's stupid or useless because it lacks utility (or any other reason) or seems arbitrary. Reasonable people can disagree, but I think such reactions are truly missing the point; that is simultaneously completely OK, but also personally dispiriting at times. There’s room for a lot of perspectives in how we engage with art, and I think it’s more interesting when we try to understand what someone finds meaningful before writing it off.
That's right. It's not "show the working". It's "do more working".
