> In a second, more concerning scenario, the emphasis on speed and American AI dominance could overshadow the safeguards. Agencies might rush deployment, overuse the waiver provisions for high-impact systems, and prioritize efficiency metrics over impact assessments. The DOGE team's reported use of AI for monitoring staff communications suggests this path is already being pursued in some corners of government. Should this approach predominate, public trust will likely erode further, potentially triggering a backlash that hampers legitimate AI adoption across all levels of government.

Why not just let AI do the voting in elections and setting the public's trust & sentiment towards AI?
That way we will not need to worry about AI adoption being hampered.

This is what I was trying to convey: this is already how we think about it.

In general relativity, mass is not more fundamental than the gravitational field and its curvature. While we generally speak of spacetime curving because of mass, this doesn't mean this is a one way relation. The stress energy tensor is equal to the Einstein tensor (roughly curvature), so the relationship is already two-way.

It's a cool thing to think about of course, just wanted to clarify.
Curious about this quote: "'My elder colleagues tell me you never stop learning, even after 50 years of doing it,' recounted Stocchi. 'The day you think you’ve learned everything is the day you’ll start making errors.'" - To me this implies that there is more variation among the cheese than I'd expect. In this role don't you see every likely cheese over 50 years? It seems like a static product, where production methods don't change, and that should give you very consistent results from tapping.
Maybe; at some level are dogs' brains also simple sensory-collecting statistical models? A human baby and a dog are born on the same day; that dog never leaves that baby's side, for 20 years. It sees everything it sees, it hears everything it hears, it is given the opportunity to interact with its environment in roughly the same way the human baby does, to the degree to which they are both physically capable. The intelligence differential after that time will still be extraordinary.

My point in bringing up that metaphor is to focus the analogy: When people say "we're just statistical models trained on sensory data", we tend to focus way too much on the "sensory data" part, which has led to for example AI manufacturers investing billions of dollars into slurping up as much human intellectual output as possible to train "smarter" models.

The focus on the sensory input inherently devalues our quality of being; that who we are is predominately explicable by the world around us.

However: We should be focusing on the "statistical model" part: that even if it is accurate to holistically describe the human brain as a statistical model trained on sensory data (which I have doubts about, but those are fine to leave to the side): its very clear that the fundamental statistical model itself is simply so far superior in human brains that comparing it to an LLM is like comparing us to a dog.

It should also be a focal point for AI manufacturers and researchers. If you are on the hunt for something along the spectrum of human level intelligence, and during this hunt you are providing it ten thousand lifetimes of sensory data, to produce something that, maybe, if you ask it right, it can behave similarity to a human who has trained in the domain in only years: You're barking up the wrong tree. What you're producing isn't even on the same spectrum; that doesn't mean it isn't useful, but its not human-like intelligence.

>It would be pretty neat if there was an LLM that guides you towards the right answer without giving it to you. Asking questions and possibly giving small hints along the way.

I think you can prompt them to do that, but that doesn't solve the issue of people not being willing to learn vs just jump to the answer, unless they made a school approved one that forced it to do that.
A severe condition is very noticeable. The sleeping person stops breathing for up to a minute or two, and then does a sudden gasp for air.

I am sorry but that's nonsense.

Todd Weaver is vastly exaggerating how special, innovative, and skilled Librem is. Their components are largely sourced from overseas, through domestic distributors, which is the norm for electronics manufacturers; overseas distributors are often precluded from international sales by agreements with their suppliers. There are also far more skilled electronics designers in the USA than he seems to think.

"In a 2023 study, researchers in Brazil found that fruit flies that were sleep deprived showed overexpression mostly of genes that affected metabolism, glucose, triglyceride and levels of the hormone dopamine"

"After just one day of restricting sleep in mice, Rogulja could see fats in the animals’ intestines that weren’t entering circulation. After five days, their guts were filled with fat although their bodies were starved of nutrients."

This is interesting. People with Autism and ADHD often have gut issues and problems with dopamine etc. Maybe these deceases are caused by constant sleep deprivation.
I wouldn't put too much stock in this. Asimov was a fantasy writer telling fictional stories about the future. He was good at it, which is why you listen and why it's enjoyable, but it's still all a fantasy.
Glad you liked it. Regarding power consumption I'm confident those issues will be solved once the incentives to do so are in place. Right now it's a gold rush, but eventually our attention will turn to lowering the cost of using these models. That's already started happening as evidenced by DeepSeek's extremely low cost of inference.
They make it sound really complicated, requiring years of mentorship, but really, it was just determining if the sound is the same on multiple taps. It would seem pretty obvious if you tap over a hollow.

> * Does it work well?

Very well! There are some limitations (see link above), but what's implemented is reliable.

> * Do you recommend it?

Yes, provided your requirements fit headscale's capabilities. If you need things like device trust attestation (e.g. Kandji MDM or Crowdstrike Falcon integration), SCIM provisioning, or various other enterprise features you may find it inadequate. If you can afford to pay for Tailscale, you should just use Tailscale because it's really good.

> * Do your users care?

They like it way better than our previous OpenVPN setup, that's for sure. I don't think they care about Headscale vs commercial Tailscale - the backend implementation is largely invisible to them.

> * Is it difficult? Do you have to maintain it or is it basically set it and forget it?

Not hard at all to set up, and it requires little maintenance attention. I have barely had to touch the control plane (other than version upgrades) since setting it up a year ago.

> * What was memorable about setting it up?

We had to do some custom coding to have automatic user offboarding when employees leave the company, and to emulate app connectors / dynamic routing (this is now OSS! https://github.com/singlestore-labs/tailscale-manager).

And I've been contributing to the headscale codebase to smooth out some quirks that affected our SSO integration. The headscale authors have been pretty flexible in welcoming outside contributors.

> * Why did you go for Headscale vs Tailscale or Netbird or some other solution?

vs Tailscale: It was way easier to build this myself than to get funding to use the commercial solution. I'm not good navigating corporate politics, but I am pretty good at building infrastructure and writing code.

vs Netbird: Mostly because I already liked Tailscale from using it at home, I like its implementation, and I like the way Tailscale (the company) have behaved. The handful of folks I know who work there are people I deeply respect.
this downplays how interesting it is to teach computers to speak (and parse) english (and chinese and every language, and be able to translate between all) vs teaching humans to speak computer.

I see this idea a lot, but I don't really buy it. I've coded in 6502 assembly for years, and the zero page is not register-like at all.

Best thing you can say about zero page is that it only requires one read cycle to fetch a value from. (Or one write cycle to store a value to it.)

Why ZP isn't like registers: You can't do register operations with it. For example, you can do this with the accumulator:

LDA #03 ; load immediate value of 3.
STA $c000 ; store it at $c000.

or

LDA $1004 ; load a value from $1004.
ADC $4000 ; add the value stored at $4000.
STA $4001 ; store to $4001.

You can't do this at all with a zero page address. You have to go through an actual register first.

I have different expectations depending on whether you worked 10 or 40 hours. The _reality_ is that you and your employer need to come to an agreement on expectations.

The important quote: "If the tariff from China is 100%, and you know it is going to be 100 % for the next 10 years, you will make a different business decision than if it is, ‘Might be 100%, not sure what's going to be in three months, what's it going to be in a year from now, and what's it going to be in three years from now.’ That uncertainty does not create stable markets. It does not create very accurate business decisions."
I don’t think the timer and status is for you, so much as for other people in your physical world. Examples would be someone who works at home who needs a way to signal to spouse/kids that they are busy and when they will be free, or an office worker who gets frequent walk up interruptions.

While there are certainly much cheaper ways to solve this problem, I think there is a market. Specifically podcasters and YouTubers who film at home, love gadgets that will look good in the background of a video, and love gear more than the work itself.

When I was in the office I solved this with a hoodie. If the hood was up, I was focusing and people generally didn’t bother me. I never even said anything or realized I was doing it, people just got it.
Show HN: Collocate your Storage and Compute
Hi HN,

We’ve expanded our Object Storage service to support up to 12 AWS regions! You can now create a bucket in one region and performantly access it in another to collocate your storage with compute. This system has performance exceeding S3 Express One Zone without the zonal limitation.

The service is currently live in us-east-1 and us-west-1, but we’re ready to deploy to any other AWS region within an hour—just drop us an email at sales@acceleratedcloudstorage.com.

Let us know what you think or if there are features you’d love to see next!

Thanks!

Forcing vendors to contribute back upstream is an attempt at making vendor toolchains not exist.

If a company makes a new MCU with some exciting new instruction set, they need to make a compiler available which supports that instruction set and make that compiler available to their customers.

With LLVM as the base, the vendor could make their toolchain proprietary, making it impossible to integrate it back into LLVM, which means the vendor toolchain will exist until the ISA gets wide-spread enough for volunteers to invest the time required to make a separate production-quality LLVM back-end from scratch.

With GCC as the base, the vendor must at least make their GCC fork available to their customers under the GPL. This, in theory, allows the GCC community to "just" integrate the back-end developed by the vendor into GCC rather than starting from scratch.

Now I don't know how effective this is, or how much it happens in practice that the GCC project integrates back-ends from vendor toolchains. But in principle, it's great that vendors have to make their toolchains FOSS because it reduces the need for vendor toolchains.
"Piano piano" does mean "slowly slowly" in a literal way, but I guess she meant it as a reference of the full saying "piano piano si va lontano", meaning "slowly slowly you get far". You were commenting on the amount of work ahead, and she was telling you "it's a marathon, not a sprint".
I mean, without `history.pushState()` and `window.onpopstate` things wouldn't be as nice. Ok, I guess one could do about everything with `location.hash = ...` and `window.onhashchange`, like in the before times. But the server will not get the hash part of the URL so a link to such an page can't be server side rendered and has to fetch the actual page content in JavaScript, evaluating the hash. When I browse things like image search it is really handy that you can use the browsers back button to close an opened image without loosing any dynamic state of the page and that the x button on the page will close the image and remove the history entry just the same way, so a later back won't re-open that image.

For me the back button wasn't hijacked.

But I am for disallowing the use of `history.go()` or any kind of navigation inside of `onpopstate`, `onhashchange`, `onbeforeunload` or similar or from a timer started from one of those.
>"Individual components used in fabrication are sourced direct from chip makers and parts distributors."

I suspect most of those are from overseas. A lot of that stuff just isn't made in the US. I don't know why they are shady about it, they should just be honest and denote which stuff isn't available at all in the US and which stuff isn't available at reasonable costs in the US.
For GPL v2 only, let's start the list with Linux and Git...

The "or later" has been used in creative ways, like relicencing all the Wikipedia content, or the Affero to AGPL transition. Nothing shady, but unexpected.

Do you trust the current members of the FSF to avoid doing shady things in the later GPL licence? I don't know them.

That's not clear-cut. The language of the amendment is more nuanced than that, and the interpretation you're using is a modern one. In the not-so-distant past, it was interpreted as meaning that states could have well-regulated armed citizen militias, not that everyone has a right to carry a firearm.

Inflation doubles every 30 years right?

Is that the rule of thumb? I never knew. I guess you only really notice it big-time on large-ticket items that are purchased infrequently like fire trucks.

Well the dog brain and human brain are very different statistical models, and I don't think we have any objective way of comparing/quantifying LLMs (as an architecture) vs human brains at this point. I think it's likely LLMs are currently not as good as human brains for human tasks, but I also think we can't say with any confidence that LLMs/NNs can't be better than human brains.
Do you think the custom-build approach predominant in the U.S. (where engines are designed to specific local needs) is a key factor behind the steep price hikes and lengthy lead times, as opposed to the more standardized, off-the-shelf models that seem common in Europe? Do you support the custom-build approach?
The usual approach is to give Nixpkgs some `overlays`, which override the attributes you want. This can be handy in conjunction with attributes like `.override`, `.overrideAttrs`, etc. for swapping-out things deeper in the dependency graph.
