You think that truth and integrity matter. They don't. Once you disabuse yourself of that notion, you are left with the meme and with the story. And while you think that the story is how he is wrong, he does not care because his story is about the things he wins.

Example - the climate. Everything in the US government was bleached from the words "climate change", but he is bent on occupying Canada and Greenland, both places which will be much more profitable when the ice melts. People can continue shouting from the rooftops that there is a climate change and he denies it. While they are busy doing that, he positions himself to profit from the incoming disasters. All the better if he can speed them up by selling more petrol.

Example 2 - government cuts. Will they make the government more effective - no. Will they make his cronies richer - yes, while making other people poor and easier to exploit. Is that a smart plan - no, but he is not the one paying the price, so it is fine.

Example 3 - tariffs. Ask yourself not who loses from them, but who wins when the dust settles and the new trade agreements are signed. And I can bet you that no matter how many american households suffer from stackflation or whatever, the household of Trump will not be one of them and they will get out even richer out of that.

"Unbiased" aggregators like Ground News, MSM, and the right blogosphere like Joe Rogan are doing their best to normalize dragging the Overton window to the right with haste.

You are assuming that this administration has the same goals as you, just different ("foolish") methods of arriving there. I'd posit that they have very different goals that these methods are solving for.
Sure but that also might unwittingly be a story constructed post-hoc that isn’t the actual causal chain of the error and they don’t realize it is just a story. Many cases. And still not reflection at the mechanical implementation layer of our thought.
That is only Norway. Maybe a little bit of Denmark, but Denmark is not considered an oil economy.

And I don't know what you mean with "captive tax base" but Norway just piles up the wealth they are too afraid to use it since it will increase the inflation.

Everyone can afford it if given a loan. If the job you get after can't afford to pay back the loan, it's time to look for another career, and for the schools to be on the hook for the miss, not the taxpayer.

And yes you are right acceptability, because polls show that the government bailing out students making poor career choices and schools paying for bloated staff is definitely not acceptable to the majority of Americans.

They could handle the domain registration for the user, whether by being a registrar themselves, or partnering with another registrar behind the scenes. And yes, most people will still pick the free option. But that's ok.

I've had my own domain for a good 20 years now, and while I've encountered some confusion when giving it out, it's never been as bad as you describe, and people get it without my having to go into a technical explanation. And regardless, the reason there is this problem is because easy, seamless personal-domain options don't really exist. If they did, this problem would go away. I don't really consider this to be an obstacle.

> Ironically the reality here is backwards:

Maybe you quoted the wrong the thing? but there's no irony here, and it's definitely not backwards in reality: Apple and Google have both severely limited what PWAs can do such that they are vastly inferior to native apps. It would very difficult to argue otherwise.

> There's a big difference between running some native code and spinning up an entire JS virtual machine and worker environment to (effectively) modify some JSON

Presumably React Native apps do something to that extent? Or, if they don't, whatever optimization they use could certainly be applied "under-the-hood" to PWAs.
Your model is missing the Fed, which can buy an almost infinite number of bonds to bring the effective interest rate down to whatever it wants.
I would just explicit require pulling `foo` into scope, like Rust does. Though in fairness Rust also uses :: for scope anyway and I don't think it's as bad as sfpotter says.
Unless it can exclude the copyright outputs and provide something else instead of blocking the inputs.

i'm willing to listen to arguments about why any of those are basic rights. I am unsure about the housing, so i didn't mention it. Upon a quick check, Bostock prevents renters from being evicted or otherwise un-housed merely for being LGBT. Unless i see actual writing that shows there is a literal directive to ignore complaints, i cannot just accept your words. top results for eviction of LGBT sort of news is about people "behind on rent." If i don't pay rent for 2 months, i'll also get an eviction notice (sometimes called a pay or quit.)

there's groups of people that think all kinds of things are "basic rights" but it doesn't mean they are. I could say nothing is a "basic right" since any example you can give is violated globally. Maybe some stuff should be globally truly basic rights. But i am willing to listen to arguments that any of these things are a basic right as it stands.

just a for instance: Sodomy. saying it's a human right implies that sexual intercourse is a basic human right. I am unsure if you really want to make this argument.
Philosophical Investigations

LLM’s are mechanisms simulating playing language games.
> Of course we don't know what kind of information the model encodes in the specific token choices - I.e. the tokens might not mean to the model what we think they mean.

But it's probably not that mysterious either. Or at least, this test doesn't show it to be so. For example, I doubt that the chain of thought in these examples secretly encodes "I'm going to cheat". It's more that the chain of thought is irrelevant. The model thinks it already knows the correct answer just by looking at the question, so the task shifts to coming up with the best excuse it can think of to reach that answer. But that doesn't say much, one way or the other, about how the model treats the chain of thought when it legitimately is relying on it.

It's like a young human taking a math test where you're told to "show your work". What I remember from high school is that the "work" you're supposed to show has strict formatting requirements, and may require you to use a specific method. Often there are other, easier methods to find the correct answer: for example, visual estimation in a geometry problem, or just using a different algorithm. So in practice you often figure out the answer first and then come up with the justification. As a result, your "work" becomes pretty disconnected from the final answer. If you don't understand the intended method, the "work" might end up being pretty BS while mysteriously still leading to the correct answer.

But that only applies if you know an easier method! If you don't, then the work you show will be, essentially, your actual reasoning process. At most you might neglect to write down auxiliary factors that hint towards or away from a specific answer. If some number seems too large, or too difficult to compute for a test meant to be taken by hand, then you might think you've made a mistake; if an equation turns out to unexpectedly simplify, then you might think you're onto something. You're not supposed to write down that kind of intuition, only concrete algorithmic steps. But the concrete steps are still fundamentally an accurate representation of your thought process.

(Incidentally, if you literally tell a CoT model to solve a math problem, it is allowed to write down those types of auxiliary factors, and probably will. But I'm treating this more as an analogy for CoT in general.)

Also, a model has a harder time hiding its work than a human taking a math test. In a math test you can write down calculations that don't end up being part of the final shown work. A model can't, so any hidden computations are limited to the ones it can do "in its head". Though admittedly those are very different from what a human can do in their head.
The best practice way to swap fullname for firstname, lastname would be to:

1. Migration that adds firstname and lastname columns will all nulls
2. Deploy application code change to start populating firstname and lastname alongside fullname, still reading fullname in the code.
3. backfill the firstname and lastname values with a script/command/migration
4. change app code to read firstname and lastname and stop writing fullname
5. drop the fullname column

I don't think there's a safe way to do all that in a single migration unless all your app code also lives in the database so it can be atomically deployed. If you have multiple app servers and do rolling deploys with no downtime I think it has to be done in these 5 steps.
I mean, a large point of their campaign was that price increases were a major national concern, right? Can we agree that they repeatedly made that point? I recall many lawn signs to that effect.

So given that, I would have assumed that this administration would focus on making things more affordable. Instead, I'm seeing people try to explain to me that, actually, raising the prices across the board is a good thing!

To put it plainly, it seems like the administration raising prices is, in fact, not a good thing for Americans. And I don't see how American labor can produce things that are more affordable than what we can buy now. So it seems like a net negative, because ultimately they are choosing to make everything more expensive for consumers.
We teach using Intel X86_64 CPUs for a variety of reasons

- Most academic research has been done on Intel systems, so it's easier for students reading papers to relate to their experiences in the labs

- X86_64 provides convenient cache flush and cycle measurement instructions in userspace

- Intel's strongly ordered memory model and cache inclusion policy makes cross-core side channels simpler to reason about

- Practically, it's easier to scale up server infrastructure on Intel (you can do most of the labs on inexpensive Intel-based Linux systems)

- For Rowhammer, our students attack one particular kind of DRAM that we have profiled and know works well with our machines

- Note that AMD's cache inclusion policy differs from Intel's- we only support Intel chips for now

Down the road I could see us moving to ARM for a few labs (perhaps a future PACMAN attack lab...?)

Totally agree. I think Cage's work is vaguely interesting in an abstract sorta way, but the actually interesting part of this piece is the organ itself. I think they're both art, but I personally value the latter more.
This is interesting for two reasons, firstly because the reason Chrome on Android has such terrible push notification latency is claimed to be the need to run the service worker in the context of the Chrome application, which being huge would use a load of battery so they avoid running it if at all possible.

Secondly, unfortunately the problem with iOS Safari notifications is once you get them working they cannot do things like group properly or replace each other. It just becomes a horrifying flood until you clear them all. If they have made iOS respect the tag and action fields, which are conspicuous by absence from their examples, then it will be game on.

I hope this is a sign that this is finally going to be working one day.

There are consequences to actions and beliefs, criticism can happen, people are sometimes wrong and we can acknowledge that without pearl-clutching.

The issue is that I feel like there's an awful lot of opinions on this, and it's difficult for me to find objective information on this stuff.

I tend to be pretty progressive, so it's probable I would be more on the Palestine side, but I try not to express strong opinions on things that I haven't done at least a cursory amount of research on, and I also don't really want to be labeled an antisemite or racist or anything like that.
I think the article does a pretty good job of explaining the gap between what can happen easily, and what a 110% over engineered "perfect" solution is to a UX problem.

Building excellent user interfaces is hard, regardless of the technical stack. You have to sweat a lot of the finer details, break out of any platform default behaviour where appropriate, and over engineer something in service of building a 'delightful' user experience.

Or, you can do as most do, and just not do this. #anchor-links with `scroll-behavior: smooth;` CSS will get you the basic smooth scrolling.
Anyone else seeing this culture shift?
Has anyone else noticed the shift in culture across the tech industry lately? It feels like things are getting pretty unsustainable. Deadlines are becoming more and more unrealistic, and people are being pushed to work 12-hour days just to keep up with the fast pace of teams at FAANG companies. The focus seems to be all about quick fixes and short-term solutions, which ends up just creating more technical debt down the road.

And don’t get me started on the management. It’s become top-heavy, with lots of micromanaging, while the same managers are always saying they’re “too busy” with other meetings—meetings they don’t even attend or get involved in. Daily stand-ups, often disguised as other meetings, have become routine, but all they do is create a more competitive environment that pressures teams into prioritizing speed over quality and sustainability.

To top it off, headcounts are shrinking as people are poached for AI projects or shrunk because of tightening budgets. It’s all contributing to a pretty toxic work culture, where unrealistic expectations, poor management, and fewer resources are making it harder to maintain long-term quality. The whole vibe of the industry seems to be more focused on hitting short-term goals than on building a healthy, sustainable work environment for the future.
Apple only allows it when you add the website to your home screen (a.k.a Install progressive web app). A user only does this when they are actually interested in the site. Once added to the home screen, it is like any other app, and you can manage the notifications from that app via iOS Settings.

I think it's intended to be a bit flippant.
It is AI.

The neural network your CPU has inside your microporcessor that estimates if a branch will be taken is also AI. A pattern recognition program that takes a video and decides where you stop on the image and where the background starts is also AI. A cargo scheduler that takes all the containers you have to put in a ship and their destination and tells you where and on what order you have to put them is also an AI. A search engine that compares your query with the text on each page and tells you what is closer is also an AI. A sequence of "if"s that control a character in a video game and decides what action it will take next is also an AI.

Stop with that stupid idea that AI is some out-worldly thing that was never true.
