Given how many different and compounding bad decisions seem to be happening here, if they actually push the social security rewrite live after just a few months like Musk said it would take, I currently — genuinely, literally — expect this will be somewhat like saying "Worked under Henry Labouchere during his time as Chief Secretary for Ireland" on a CV handed out in Dublin in 1860.

I really hope they delay that rewrite and actually test it. They might, but if they don't…

Ah, there it is, “Western chauvinism,” the all-purpose dismissal when you’ve got no real counterargument. You’re not engaging with what I said, you’re just performing indignation.

Yes, I’ve seen videos, read books, listened to defectors, and followed reports from Amnesty, the UN, and others. You? You’re just here to sneer at the idea that anyone outside North Korea could possibly know anything. That’s not humility, it’s nihilism in a moral disguise.

You say I “know nothing” about North Korea. Maybe not everything. But I know enough to not reflexively defend a regime that starves its people while building monuments to a cult of personality. If that makes you uncomfortable, good.
well, IBM very publicly invested 1Bn USD into supporting Linux on all their hardware with all their software. so db/2 on s390 on Linux, likewise websphere, etc. it gave the customers the promise of one run time environment on anything. and SUSE and shortly later Red Hat provided truly source compatible environments for software vendors. "code once run anywhere", for real. and then IBM and Oracle and Co forced suse and red hat to become binary compatible at the kernel/libc and basic system libs level, so Oracle and all could provide one binary under /opt on any Linux...

and that pulled all other vendors along, HP, Dell, Fujitsu, likewise for software...

and it all started with IBM officially supporting and pushing the hobbyist student project Linux on the holy Grail of enterprise compute, (of 1999/2000): s390
Fast, free, and frictionless payments allow the economy to run better. That's better for the government and the people. Only corporations like Visa and Mastercard lose.
I have been using GOG Galaxy to try and track my entire collection but of course its connections to other gaming services are always broken.

I've heard that other tools like Playnite work better but I've not gotten enough motivation to try as yet.

I prefer Steam's well-integrated interface. It would be nice if it could scrape other launchers too.
I'm euro and runner/cyclist so I doubt that was a factor. I also had my bicycle with me for some rides on off days, but it wasn't beyond my usual mileage. Maybe even less, because riding road bike in Tokyo was an experience that made me realise how good I've it back home. Surroundings hills are nice, but getting out of the city sucks big time.
It would be cool to try to generate the "knowledge" as in Cyc automatically, from LLMs.
Getting a 503 with that link.
I took a cursory look and I like what I see – the service maps are really good, I love the level of detail. I will say, one thing I'm looking for with this kind of software, to maximise value, is structured logging support, and from what I could see, each log line just has the raw payload currently. Is that something you have on your roadmap?
I would argue that Lenat was at least directionally correct in understanding that sheer volume of data (in Cyc's case, rules and facts) was the key in eventually achieving useful intelligence. I have to confess that I once criticized the Cyc project for creating an ever-larger pile of sh*t and expecting a pony to emerge, but that's sort of what has happened with LLMs.
In worrying about it all you miss all the earthly delights AND you STILL don't live forever
In one job, I found three exploits. I did the analysis / writeup, and a pull request, and they collected dust for 4 months.

I don’t know why. Maybe it was political (acquisition and certification). Maybe they didn’t understand or recognise the statistics that I used. Maybe they didn’t think it was a problem, since they assumed that no incidents had happened.

My impression is that the buggier the code, the less they care about security if it hit them in the face.
why are you cursing people to a 3-4 hours trip to tv tropes :(
I found some reasonable sources:

https://ember-energy.org/data/chinas-solar-pv-export-explore... has charts for countries (and regions) that go to middle of 2024.

https://ember-energy.org/data/china-solar-exports-data/ has the raw data, which shows 2194.236922MW of installation in pakistan in _just Jan 2025_.

This is just China export data, based on the assumptions that: the country importing is actually installing this, and that .cn is 80% of the market, so it is a good proxy.

Good job to whoever is importing this!

It has been considered normal in some colloquial uses for a long time. But until the late 2010s/early 2020s all style guides considered it to be poor form due to the ambiguity and muddy sentence structure it creates. Recommendations were changed recently for political reasons.

Actually, you hit the nail on the head, they are _not_ like humans because they only know what you say, not what you mean. A human would understand that when you ask a broad question, you want a broad answer. Broadly speaking, Jeeps are bad.

Our current LLM are kneecapped because they are very reluctant to be negative.

There's two main things. First of all, when you load data into a register from an address in memory the CPU loads 64-byte cache lines, not words or bytes. AActor for instance is 1016 bytes. 16 cache lines. It's freaking huge.

So let's say you're going through all the actors and updating one thing. If those actors are in an array it's easy. Just a for loop, update the member variable, done. Easy, fast, should be performant right? But each time you're updating one of those the prefetcher is also bringing in extra lines, more data in the object, thinking you might need them next. So if you're only updating a single thing or a couple of things in the object on different cache lines you might really bring in 3-8x the data you actually need.

CPU prefetchers have something called stride detectors which can detect access patterns of N number of steps and stop the prefetcher from grabbing additional lines but at 16 cache lines the AActor object is way too big for the stride detector to keep up with. So you stride in gaps of 16 cache lines at a time through memory and you still get 2-3 extra cache lines after the initial access.

Secondly, a 1016 byte object just doesn't fit. It's word aligned but it's not cache line aligned and it's sure as hell not page aligned.

Best case scenario if you're updating two variables next to each other in memory the prefetcher gets both on the same cache line. Medium case scenario, the prefetcher has to grab the next line every so often. You'll get best most often and medium rarely.

Bad case scenario, the prefetcher has to grab the next cache line on the NEXT PAGE. Which only just became a thing on recent CPUs but also involves translating the virtual address of the next page to its physical page address which takes forever in data access terms. Bunch of pointer chasing, basically a few thousand clock of waiting.

The absolute worst case scenario is that the prefetcher thinks you need the next cache line, it's on the next page, it does the rigamarole of translating the next page's virtual address and you don't actually need it. You've done two orders of magnitude more work than reading a single variable for literally nothing.

So yeah. The prefetcher can do some weird ass shit when you throw weird and massive data structs at it. Slashing and burning the size down helps because the stride detector can start functioning again when the object is small enough. If it can be kept to a multiple of 64 bytes you even get page aligned again.
I use a search engine 99% of the time. Occasionally i use an LLM, but even for checking the most simple information I am not able to have any confidence that the answer it gives is correct. It seems to lie to me every time i use it and contradicts itself when i tell it that it made an error. It provides no citation to where it got its information and that seems completely essential. I very rarely see any use for it. Even if a search engine is much slower i will not compromise on knowing where the information is sourced from so I can judge its accuracy, bias, etc. I feel disturbed by all the people that have lower information standards
It seems that every answer is a single word. I don't think it says that anywhere, but the few I've done seem to be that way.

Interesting questions!

Glamorous Toolkit is indeed built by the team at feenk, which is a company. However, we created the company to fund the research, not the other way around. Everything we do is free and open-source.

Our goal is not to build Glamorous Toolkit, but to validate the idea that what we call Moldable Development (programming through contextual tools) leads to explainable systems.

We start from legacy systems because that's a hard problem that is not yet solved. If we are to find a new way of working, it should work in the least favorable conditions. With legacy systems, we have extreme combinations of technologies and inter-twinned domain knowledge that we have to make sense of.

At first the approach was called humane assessment, but along the way we found that it actually does change forward engineering as well. For example, we've seen cases in which startups produce pitches for investors right from the development environment. Or teams that put a face on domain-driven design by showing the domain to business people from the development environment leading to co-development. Glamorous Toolkit itself is an extensive case study of Moldable Development, too.

More recently, we also apply the same ideas to creating editing experiences as well. Imagine editors of generic languages that understand the framework or the domain and that offer inline activities.

Yet another application area is that of code transformation. It turns out that we can describe large scale code transformations through contextual transformations as well. This then allows us to evolve large code bases seamlessly.

This can work if creating a new experience is inexpensive. And this can be achieved if we can compose the overall experience out of tiny pieces. Micro tools like views in the inspector, custom debuggers, dedicated editors or even transformations.

There are a few more details at moldabledevelopment.com including the beginning of an open book I am writing with Simon Wardley.

Does this address your questions?
It's just a different kind of data. Even without LLMs, sometimes I want a tutorial, sometimes I want the raw API specification.

For some cases I absolutely prefer an LLM, like discoverability of certain language features or toolkits. But for the details, I'll just google the documentation site (for the new terms that the LLM just taught me about) and then read the actual docs.
I use a variety of mostly search engines that get me an answer much faster. Google/Bing frequently point to sites/articles written by AI anyway. Using a LLM directly often gives too much garbage and doesn't often stick to just answering my question, so it becomes as useless as a modern google search. I prefer old style searching of just using key words and refining my query opposed to having it (miss)interpreted.
An ex parte prior restraint order is about as scummy as they come. No due process, no 1st amendment respect, nada.

Uh... sure? Can you point to the actual subsidies you want to remove?

I feel like you think you're making some clever gotcha, but what you're saying is, let's continue doing what we're doing right now.
But it was the culture war that resulted in this change to the language. Previous to the war, singular 'they' was to be avoided due to the ambiguity it introduces.

> Lenat personally did not release the source code of his PhD project or EURISKO, remained unimpressed with open source, and disliked academia as much as academia disliked him. Most open information concerning Cyc had been deliberately removed circa 2015, at the moment when Cycorp pivoted to commercial applications.

Makes one wonder how much a research being open makes a difference in its real-world success in the current age. Cyc's competitors (LLMs etc.) arguably have a lot to attribute to open public participation for its successes. Perhaps things would have been difference had Lenat been more open with the project?
You may have to enable it, but their experimental 'AI Mode' does basically what you are saying (I think). I can hit 'dive deeper with AI mode' at the bottom of the 'AI Overview', and it just becomes an interactive search session...sort of.
We needed charting for ad-hoc business reporting from SQL. ECharts was at the right level of ease of use and available charts, interactive, and looks great right out of the box.

But with all the photographs he took, he could survive years on his fame after a few extra days of tinkering.
Musk has also been suggesting a zero tariff between the US and EU. He also recently called Navarro, a main architect of the tariffs, "dumber than a sack of bricks" and "truly a moron." Not sure things are fully harmonious over there.
I know what lua was designed for and have professional experience with it. It's not that great as a config language imo, I can easily understand why a project would use something else.
>Ah, there it is, “Western chauvinism,” the all-purpose dismissal when you’ve got no real counterargument. You’re not engaging with what I said, you’re just performing indignation.

Gotta call a spade a spade sometimes, sorry bud.

This isn't even an argument. You read things? Wow, me too. I read NK is awesome. They are trying to sustain their nation. Your repeating of biased western propaganda uncritically is the nihilism.

> You say I “know nothing” about North Korea. Maybe not everything. But I know enough to not reflexively defend a regime that starves its people while building monuments to a cult of personality. If that makes you uncomfortable, good.

I never even defended them. Just pointed out your ignorance and racism. Cheers. Nice edit btw.
Out of curiosity (and boredom), I trained an AI on photos of my dog to see what would happen. I ended up creating a site—PetPicture AI—that turns your pet into stylized characters like astronauts, knights, pirates, etc.

It started as a side project, but people have actually started using it for gifts, memorial portraits, and just for fun. The AI model gets fine-tuned on your specific pet, so the results are surprisingly personal.

It raised a few interesting questions for me:

What other applications are out there for quick, personalized AI models like this?

Where’s the line between novelty and meaningful customization?

Would love to hear your thoughts—especially around the tech, ethics, or product potential.
Frankly pausing seems like a prudent move. Tarrifs work best when they are long-term, which promotes local industry to provide alternatives.

There's certainly a perception, real or not, that T could change his mind at any moment. So US makers won't be ramping up production anytime soon.

Of course local prices will also rise to match foreign imports. Plus lots of imported parts are necessary. So yeah, prices will go up.

Lots of silver linings here though. Fewer car sales in the US is a good thing for climate issues. And a focus on fewer cars may lead to city planning improvements as well.

Plus, cheaper cars for the rest of us as supply outstrips demand for a while.

Despite their awful UX, I'm always impressed with how reliable their service is, technically speaking. Video is always good and responsive even on less-than-stellar connections, you can leave a show paused for hours, and resume it almost instantly. Their fast.com speed test is always much faster than your regular internet access, I guess thanks to their Open Connect Appliances.

It must be great to work for them in infrastructure and backends.
Well at least it’s not in vitro. Everything kills bacteria in a Petri dish.

But it is topical. So it may do a treat for MRSA but not for resistant pneumonia.
if anyone wants a "human" solution

1) there are 4 questions that everyone answered the same way (let's say this earned everyone A points)

2) in the rest of the questions, 7-point and 5-point students gave opposite answers

that means that 7-A (rest of 7-point student's correct answers) equals to 5-(4-A) (rest of 5-point student's incorrect answers)

7-A = 1+A => A=3

That means 3-point student scored 3 points together with everyone else, and answered rest of the questions wrong

From this it's trivial to find the hidden score and why there are 4 possible answer keys

Yes, you can use grok but you could also use a search engine. Their point is that grok would be less convenient than a search engine for the use case of finding Frob's website's homepage.
And most of the actual results from said search are nothing but LLM generated slop content that provide zero utility to the user and only exist to capture as many clicks and traffic as possible so they can shovel as many ads as possible. The current web is practically unusable.
This isn't effective at a large org, but if you're running a small company/startup, just have an engineer "help out" with support every so often. We'd ask devs to run the support desk when the person was on vacation and also had a general rotation through.

It's good for building customer empathy but also for helping the people who build the product understand how it's used. The intuition you build up from those experiences is very powerful.

Also, about two hours into handling support tickets for the same issue, 99% of devs will just fix the problem. So you create a very elegant incentive structure for bugfixing that circumvents a lot of the traditional structural issues.

Of course you can't do this in a big company, which is one of the structural disadvantages that come with size.

I don't think the Norway example is relevant. We are talking about a country that produces oil for more than a thousand dollars a month per person, including old people and babies. It is literally a country where EVERY person is a millionaire from oil money alone. So they can set the most failed policies and make them work.
Haha, you made me chuckle. But to the facts: the article and application is about directly applying it to the wound or antibiotics directly. No one is advocating for it to be part of a healthy diet.
I've been in this position and for me the motivation to keep pressing on came from still staying out there and at least hanging out and talking with like-minded friends in the tech space. Without that my tendency would be to wallow and do nothing. With that being said... lots of people are hiring -- share a resume!

> You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

What is the right answer? Doesn't it depend on the DB? Postgres at least shows rows ordered by last updated time (simplified, I know).

I would be fine if it was "... near the top or bottom" though.

(Or maybe this comment is the correct answer?)
How do I know the LLM isn't lying to me? AIs lie all the time, it's impossible for me to trust them. I'd rather just go to the actual source and decide whether to trust it. Odds are pretty good that a programming language's homepage is not lying to me about the language; and I have my trust level for various news sites already calibrated. AIs are garbage-in garbage-out, and a whole boatload of garbage goes into them.
I took a look at Plotly but ultimately wanted a Js solution for our Java backend, so that we can run our SQL charts layer on GraalVM.
We use Vega pretty heavily, its a broader ecosystem. Where it really shines is in combination with Altair and Vegafusion to do number-crunching on the backend and return a chart spec that can just be rendered on the front-end.

That makes it particularly useful when building interactive visualizations with a lot of data.
Gentoo is a full source boostrapping if you include the build of GRUB2 and create the initramd file as well as the kernel.
Probably not, tbh. The issue with Cyc is that it required huge amounts of manual effort to create the rules, while LLMs can learn their own rules from raw data.

There was no machine intelligence in Cyc, just human intelligence.
