One of the comments on that page mentions that we see the G-class stars like the Sun as "yellowish", but in fact they are white, like a LED lamp with a color temperature of 5500 K or 6000 K.

The reason for this is not mentioned there, which is that the atmosphere of the Earth acts like a low-pass filter for the direct light that comes from the Sun or from a star, converting the white light into yellowish light. The missing bluish light is diffused over the sky, giving it its blue color. The night sky is also blue, but at a many times lower luminance, so that it seems black.

On the Moon, the Sun will appear as perfectly white, on a perfectly black sky.

They weren't (for the most part) paying tribute. They were putting their money somewhere safe - somewhere where the risks of default, inflation, and devaluation were lower than other places.

But I agree, now they're asking if they should continue, because those assumptions are starting to look invalid.
Direct quote I heard from an undergrad taking statistics:

"Snapchat AI couldn't get it right so I skipped the assignment"
“Managing stock on demand” is entirely driven by what the store stocks in the first place. Dollar stores often don’t store fresh produce and if they do, it’s not the best, nor is it the variety you need in a community. No amount of filling up feedback forms is going to convince the corporate overlords to change that because “profit”. Our local community supermarket got bought out by Safeway. Everything from less processed pasta to multigrain baked nacho chips disappeared in favor of generic big brand stuff. The meat counter shrunk and the seafood counter almost disappeared. But you could now get 20-30 types of sausages because they come packed, sodium infused and stay on the shelves for months. The locals kept sending feedback, but nothing changed. I stopped shopping there and eventually moved out of the neighborhood because I could.
Thanks!

My company decided to fire all junior developers because "With AI seniors don't need them anymore", honestly I'm on the verge of quitting, deciding to cut devs on a software company while keeping agile coaches and product owners that basically hinder development has to be one of the dumbest decisions I have seen.

Looking for a fintech mentor to help me build a startup
I'm looking for someone experienced in the fintech industry who can mentor me.

I'm particularly interested in anyone who has worked or works for Visa / Mastercard, Stripe, Adyen, PayPal, Square, FIS, Authorize, Paddle, Plaid, or any relevant company. I'm also looking for someone who has knowledge of how startups can negotiate with banks to get into their networks.

About me:
I'm based in the US, studied computer science in university and I'm about to graduate. I am looking for mentorship in order to understand the industry better and what path to take in my career. This past year I've become fixated on the payment processing industry. I read some books on payments processing so I can understand how the system works.

I'm interested in building a technology startup in this space to take on emerging markets.
You’re going on about moral clarity and cowardice, dodging any real arguments that could be had. This is just obfuscation and relativism (but NK is worse than X). There have been concrete counter-arguments to the narrative in the OP. It doesn’t matter if the head of state of NK has killed more people than Genghis Khan.

There’s also no point in fretting about cowardice. Critiquing a poor Asian country from an apartment in Europe/America/South America won’t get you harmed.
Interestingly enough, Powerwall is the only product I know and heard of, which can do grid disconnect and reconnect out of the box.

Unfortunate for this particular product (i do not like tesla anymore), i also never heard anything about it after that one Musk presentation infront of a house with tesla roof.

But if your ecosystem is Tesla (before Musk), the synergy would definitly be very nice.

> it flummoxes me that most developers and designers don't take them seriously enough to implement properly (styles must only be set though <link>, and JS likewise exists only in external files). Doing any styling or scripting inline should be frowned upon as hard as table-based layouts.

At our place we do abide by those rules, but we also use 3rd party components like Telerik/Kendo which require both unsafe-inline for scripting and styling. Sometimes you have no choice laxing your security policy.

Great article! I’ve noticed that most screen time discussions focus heavily on mobile usage, which makes sense given the data, but I think we underestimate how much desktop screen time also affects our health.

As someone who’s been building LookAway[0] (a mindful break reminder app for Mac), I’ve seen firsthand how easy it is to slip into hours of continuous screen time at a desk resulting in things like eye strain, posture issues, and even productivity dips.

Would love to see more awareness and tools around managing desktop screen habits!

Every native toolkit has its own idiosyncrasies. Some are closer to the OS official look, which changes along the years, some are different. I'm for a relaxed definition: if it's graphical it's a GUI, if it's text it's a TUI. Then we have larger or smaller rendering libraries. The browser is a particularly large one but often it's got the advantage of automatic app updates.
I feel like Anthropic has an incentive to minimize how much students use LLMs to write their papers for them.

In the article, I guess this would be buried in

> Students also frequently used Claude to provide technical explanations or solutions for academic assignments (33.5%)—working with AI to debug and fix errors in coding assignments, implement programming algorithms and data structures, and explain or solve mathematical problems.

"Write my essay" would be considered a "solution for academic assignment," but by only referring to it obliquely in that paragraph they don't really tell us the prevalence of it.

(I also wonder if students are smart, and may keep outright usage of LLMs to complete assignments on a separate, non-university account, not trusting that Anthropic will keep their conversations private from the university if asked.)
We get to check a box on what AI we use when we close a ticket. I used to select "none" because most of the time that was the case, sometimes I would pick one if I used it to build some scaffolding or explore some performance issue.

But then we started having AI demos with the CTO where the presenters would say things like "I don't know how to code in python but now I don't need to! yay!" and the C level people would be very excited about this. That's when I realized that these poor developers who just want to brown nose and show off to big cheese are instead making an argument for their own demise.

Meanwhile I asked AI to make me a test and it mocked out everything I wanted to test, testing nothing, but passing. I wonder how much of these kinds of tests we have now...
> I think China missed their opportunity.

I think so too prior to the Trump tarrifs. Now their influence abroad is picking up steam again, with former WW2 enemies now becoming trade allies. I think this has reinvigorated their opportunity.

Thanks, fair point.

I skipped technical terms like “prefetch” or “SXG” in the title to make it more approachable and spark curiosity — but I get how that could feel misleading.

You're right that prefetching counts as a visit in some sense. The point of the demo was to highlight how unexpected it can feel to load a site while offline, even if you never actively opened it before.
But is true. I am a Brazilian who lives in Sweden and there are multiple banks here that have blank bans on transfers from/to Brazilian banks due to the amount of fraud and money laundering and lax KYC controls.

> But if we bump the cost of freight, insurance, and customs from $5 to, say, $28, then they wholesale the shoes to Footlocker for about $75. And if Footlocker purchases Nike shoes for $75, then they retail them for $150. Everyone needs to fixed percentages to avoid losses.

I don't understand this paragraph. If Footlocker was okay with $50 profit/shoe, why do they need to claim $75 profit/shoe in their costs per shoe go up? The costs of handling the shoes, retail space, advertising, and labor are all fixed.
Hi, just want to tell you that this comment was one of the best I have read in a long time.

I think its less amnesia and more that many commenters were too young to have experienced pre-Uber taxis: the call for a pickup thats routinely ignored, flailing arms in the cold hoping someone stops, the smelly car, refusal to pick you up because your ride is too short or too long, getting taken for an extended ride to your destination, the credit card machine thats always broken. Oh, and if you want to complain I hope you can make an 8am hearing at the taxi commission in 6 weeks.
The EU AI Act, while I personally find it to be overreach, has certain points that I certainly agree with, and are encouraging given that every major platform has huge userbases in the EU. The first Executive Order on AI in the US following announcement of the AI Action Plan is surprisingly rigid whilst still encouraging innovation, especially given all of the drama regarding federal agencies as-of late. Creative industries are increasingly drawing clear lines on where AI use is and isn't acceptable, especially among individual studios and unions following the SAG-AFTRA strikes of 2023-2024. And ultimately, this is all not even considering the profound advancements in education, biotech, and healthcare.

This is very easy to lose sight of, especially given rapid advancements, but it's important. I think certain companies like Anthropic definitely have safety approaches that I agree with more, being more thoughtful and having clearly-outlined scaling policies (such as the latest Responsible Scaling Policy effective March 31 of this year) versus more vague safety promises such as from companies such as OpenAI and Google. Websites such as https://www.freethink.com have wonderful essays espousing techno-humanism that ultimately gives compelling arguments on how AI will be a progressively beneficial force on humanity, rather than detract from it.

Yes, there WILL be growing pains - as is what happened with the internet and the World Wide Web. But, I am confident that we will adapt. There is no better time in history to be living in than right now.
back in my day we used snap to send spicy photos now they're using AI to cheat on homework. im not sure what's worse
I disagree. But I do think that if you do not pay for your news, you have no standing to complain about its scope or quality.

If it could be implemented that way and would be helpful where Google fails, then why has nobody done this? I’d love to try this out if you can point to a product that does this.

You can criticize LLMs all you want, but the fact is that they provide value to people in ways that alternatives simply don’t. The energy consumption is a concern, but don’t pretend there are viable alternatives when there aren’t.

The shoes aren't even needed. Growing up in Scotland (not poor) in the 1970s I had one pair of shoes. When they wore out my mother would buy me a new pair. Today in the US I have so many pairs of shoes I don't really have space to store them and sometimes end up buying a new pair of shows I already own because I can't keep track of what's in the closet.

Btw the one thing that will be left to show is a wider realization that it's a bad idea to elect a crazy person.
"Now" is a misnomer. They're laws from when we were spending absolutely massive amounts of money keeping Taiwan, Germany, Poland etc independent. (Read: a long time ago.) They also include arbitrary property confiscation and a whole slew of other powers. Ignorance is bliss.

Obviously if they’re breaking the law, they should be held accountable.

Where I live taxis are on par with Uber, sometimes cheaper when Uber has surge prices. We also have Bolt, an European competitor, which is usually 10-40% cheaper than Uber or taxis.

Every Uber or Bolt can also operate as a taxi since the regulations stipulate that any private passenger transport service is the same as a taxi, and has to follow the same regulations.

This sort of thing is what I'm most worried about with programmers who are very bullish on AI.

I don't think it's too controversial to say that most developers are much worse at reviewing code than they are at writing code

AI generated code is a code review exercise. If you accept my premise that most devs are worse at reviewing code than writing it, this should ring some alarm bells
No but it gives them far more time to plug your phone into a device that dumps the device for decryption later, as well as attempting any kind of security backdoors/exploits, or even clone the SIM card.
You are a kind person, and I admire you very much. At least before 2018, our general view was that there was nothing wrong with maintaining "one country, two systems" and we would work together for development. But the problem is that our relationship with Taiwan is always easily sown by other countries, who try to make Taiwan independent instead of recognizing "one China".
They use an LLM to summarize the chats, which IMO makes the results as fundamentally unreliable as LLMs are. Maybe for an aggregate statistical analysis (for the purpose of...vibe-based product direction?) this is good enough, but if you were to use this to try to inform impactful policies, caveat emptor.
Microsoft getting hacked proves my point more than you think, they're less likely to get hacked now because they have scar tissue. You're basically saying: "If you ever get hacked your reputation is burned forever, but I want these guys who have never done it before to handle logins for me even though they are saying that they are not comfortable with the extra responsibility". Get over yourself.
