Can cut both ways. If you're on the Fed board, you sell all your stocks before taking office and then crash the market by hiking rates.

What about owning any asset class? real estate? is that allowed? Metals?
> Either way, I can't take you seriously.

Why not? I've suggested solutions that let them invest without even being aware of what they're invested in or only minimally (index funds, specific portfolios). This resolves the conflict of interest problem while allowing them to still gain the financial benefits of investing some of their money.

This is a bit of a strawman. There are certainly people who claim that you can ask AIs anything but I don't think the parent commenter ever made that claim.

"AI is making incredible progress but still struggles with certain subsets of tasks" is self-consistent position.

Those jobs will be gone soon anyway due to automation. They are not coming back now or ever. The US also manufactures a lot right now, second only to China.

The US failed by not using the huge prosperity it gained to put the social programs in place to help those people pushed out of manufacturing.

Nope.

Back in the day Exchange offered SIS but in 2010 they ditched it. It's plainly not effective any more. Even regarding the OP' "the jpg signature logo" - it's a part of multipart in the message, not a separate file.

And one more thing - you can't just turn the dedup and be dandy, now you need to check against the hashes to determine if this chunk is unique or you already have it. And with TBs of data you need TBs of hashes to check. Until you have like 99% dedup efficiency, ie 99% of your incoming data is literally the same data you already have - it doesn't worth it.

I think the catch is that for the GOP it's an all Trump party. If you're not with Trump you're out anyway ... so even from the start opposing Trump means your out, regardless of an election.

Berkshire's had $334 billion cash at the end of 2024, double the previous year. This is still only 30 percent of their total assets (see link). So while there were some preparations for a major decline (perhaps more so than most companies), they are still very exposed to the market turbulence.

Show HN: Wiederhol – GitHub for Checklists
Greetings!

My wife and I built a collaborative platform for reusable checklists.

Users can share templates of checklists with few select users or everyone, copy templates of other users (like forking a repository on github), submit suggestions for checklists (like opening a PR on github).

I've got the idea after reading Atul Gawande's 'Checklist Manifesto' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Checklist_Manifesto). Plus I kept forgetting things when going to the office, gym or traveling.

We've tried a few other checklist apps, like Microsoft To Do. But they all seem more geared towards one-off lists or lists that repeat on schedule. Plus web versions and collaborative features always felt like an afterthought.

Wiederhol is free for private use.

iOS users can install our app via https://apps.apple.com/de/app/wiederhol/id6739186169.
Android users can install https://wiederhol.com/ as a PWA (Progressive Web Application).

Tech stack: Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, https://dokku.com/ for hosting on Hetzner, https://pwabuilder.com for the iOS app.

PS: Wiederhol means 'repeat' (imperative verb form) in German.
Ew, how hostile.
I'm not sure what you mean. In `writable()`, there's no read-only data; `s` is a non-const char array (it has to be static because the function returns a pointer to it). The string literal is only there to tell the compiler how to initialize the array, `s` is not actually the string literal.

If you change `writable()` to receive a `const char *` (and then cast it to `char *` to write), then clang will be forced to compile it with a store (even though it sees you storing to a `const char *`) because it doesn't know if the function will be called with a pointer to actual read-only data or just a pointer to writable data that was gratuitously converted to `const`.

Say you sell 15 copies of the book per month for 10$ each. After taxes and merchant fees , and the occasional chargeback, you’ll be lucky to net half.

Is 75$ a month really worth the stress ?

This is a part of why I’m going FOSS for my side projects. Even trying to collect a single legit dollar gives people a right to complain.

Of course you can complain on GitHub anyway when it doesn’t work right, but it’s MIT, fork , send a PR or leave me alone.
I didn't get my driver's license until I was 24 or 25. Partly because I never drove anywhere and partly because I couldn't afford a car before that. Not sure I was able to afford a car after I got my license ... The only reason I did learn to drive was because I was starting a job in an area of the 'burbs that had horrible public transit coverage. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably still be car and license free.
If you saturate you almost never ever want to use the result. You need to check and if it saturates do something else.

Nope, no LLMs reported 50~60% performance on IMO, and SOTA LLMs scoring 5% on USAMO is expected. For 50~60% performance on IMO, you are thinking of AlphaProof, but AlphaProof is not a LLM. We don't have the full paper yet, but clearly AlphaProof is a system built on top of LLM with lots of bells and whistles, just like AlphaFold is.

I mostly agree... but at the same time, in my city billboards also have specific regulations, ordinances, and an approval cycle before a governance committee. Maybe there is a middle ground between "allow everything" and "ban everything", which is simply to update the city code to put guidelines and review on them?
> it is never good when the protocol is defined by it's only implementation

I don't know that I'd go that far. The benefit of having only one implementation of a protocol is that the protocol can evolve much faster. You don't have to have committee meetings to tweak how it works. And as a first pass, the more iterations you make of something, the better the result.

Rsync is mature enough to benefit from multiple implementations. But I'm glad it had some time to iterate on the protocol first.
So I guess this was written pre-Gemini 2.5
I was a Notes user inside IBM in the months before the acquisition. It was so, so much better than anything IBM had on the desktop, either as a product or the many internal hacks. At the time IBM had OfficeVision/2 perennially under development to replace PROFS on Windows and OS/2.

I think that some of the changes in Notes 4 were good to make it more usable inside a large organization, but many things like adding a web server and IIRC some sort of Java subsystem? turned it into bloatware. And some of the changes were prompted by IBM’s disastrous internal rollout of Notes, which had more to do with IbM internal messaging culture and less to do with any flaws in Notes.
Unsigned integers were largely a mistake. Use i64 and called it a day. (Rusts refusal to allow indexing with i64 or isize is a huge mistake.)

The jury is still out on whether what you are saying is hyperbole. We can't assume the worst-case outcome despite the serious danger of that outcome should it occur.

We definitely should think about how Russian elections are different and why they're different.

For one thing, in the US the executive branch and federal government has very little control over elections by design. The current administration can say whatever it wants about elections, it has no power to stop a disaster for them in 2026 if the pendulum swings enough.

It is extremely hard to change the constitution like was done in Turkey or Hungary. It is extremely hard to remove lifetime appointment judges from the opposition administration. Executive orders are easily reversed and laws must be repealed to undo them. If laws were easy to undo the ACA would be gone by now.

Just because the current administration is acting like it completed a successful coup doesn't mean that it actually has in reality. Don't take what they say to be truth, because they constantly lie. The would love for the opposition party to think that they have taken over and that there is no hope. All they've done is won one single election by very slim margins and tossed out a bunch of executive orders.

The current administration loves tariffs simply because it's the most impactful lever the president can use without congressional approval besides commanding troops. The current administration literally cannot do much else in terms of lasting policy and they are too lazy and incompetent to approach congress with any actual ideas (something that the Obama and Biden administrations excelled at, e.g. the ACA and Bipartisan Infrastructure bill).

The US constitutional system has survived authoritarian-minded presidents before. And of course, that's not to say the US system is perfect or even an especially fair and representative system. But it has very strong protections against permanent dictatorship or an outright coup.

> because it doesn't know if the function will be called with a pointer to actual read-only data or just a pointer to writable data that was gratuitously

That's exactly my point yeah, the optimization you described is only possible because you gave the compiler extra knowledge about the argument to that function (because it was static in the same compilation unit). It's artificial, typically that won't be the case.
I suppose with Genetic Programming, given an appropriate set of descriptive symbols, it is relatively easy to understand the final result and intuit if there is any over-fitting involved. On the other hand, machine learning results are typically a black box, the weights involved typically do not easily lend themselves to understanding the nuances of the solution.
What does "static nature" mean, in your parlance?

How about if we don't make lots of wide authoritarian bans to make people behave according our will instead of their own. How about if we rule the world from the bottom up instead of the top down? What if we just mostly, you know, live and let live? Going with free speech, including billboards, is a good place to start trying out such a wild plan.
Analyzing the fundamentals doesn’t matter much because this isn’t driven by fundamentals. This crash was caused by this administration demonstrating that not only do they have no understanding of economic policy, but they’re determined to make extreme and brash decisions.

I don’t think many people expect the current tariff absurdity to hold as-is. The problem is that nobody knows if he’s going to wake up and roll it back one day or if he’ll decide to make the tariffs higher to try to prove a point.

Or he could launch a real war as a distraction.

It wasn’t a secret that Trump didn’t understand economic policy, but the assumption was that he wasn’t going to actually do anything different than his first term. Instead he came out with the most unbelievably bad tariff gambit beyond what anyone could have imagined, and now everyone is resetting assumptions.
RealDoll’s CEO perks up.
This can change very quickly, though. Everyone right now is hearing the "giant sucking sound" of the economy going down the toilet due to entirely self-inflicted damage. There's no way that the broader Republican constituency is going to ignore this fact, regardless of Trump.
wow sobering feedback thank you

Replacing GPL coreutils with Rust reimplementations. The conspiracy theorists say that's the reason behind the huge RiiR push. There's effectively zero GPL'ed Rust software.

What kind of "bottom up" perspective gives a damn about protecting billboards?
Pretty sure Seattle (maybe King County) doesn't allow billboards. You can really tell when you pass the banned area when driving south on I-5 getting close to Tacoma.

Also if interested the opening scenes of The Monkey Wrench Gang (by Edward Abbey) are about illegally cutting down billboards in Southwest Utah.
Billboards must be terrible for property value, I’m surprised that alone hasn’t caused them to become more sparse.
Me too. I agree that its not a bed of roses - and all the memory safety guarantees in the world don't stop you from making a huge mess. But I haven't run into any of the impossible-to-debug crashes / heisenbugs in my multithreaded rust code that I have in C/C++.

I think rust delivers on its safety promise.

The 2D Gaussian blur is separable into 2 1D convolutions which is much faster than the 2D version so less of a performance issue.

Deep learning on graphs is unfortunately still a little underwhelming.
Yeah, and they probably have more "agreeable" stuff in their corpus simply because very disagreeable stuff tend to be either much shorter or a prelude to a flamewar.
It is not a "one-party state." It's a two-party state where one party has a temporarry slim majority.

The Republican Party cannot pass significantly polarizing legislation since it can't overcome a filibuster.

The Republican Party does not have the senatorial votes to impeach and remove any federal judges.

On top of that, the US system divides power in a way that gives states and localities a lot of control where the federal government has no say. Almost all police by quantity of officers are operated by local municipalities who don't take orders from the federal government. The fact that cannabis was able to be legalized while being federally illegal shows how that works very well: without state and local police to enforce those laws, there is nobody to arrest you for violating federal law.

I grew up in Alaska which has a billboard ban. And then I went to Florida for university, and while there was a lot of culture shock I really think that the in your face billboards everywhere where the biggest bit.

Huge aggressive grabs for attention when you really should be paying attention to the road really should not be allowed.
He clearly is an outsider. He seldom has any idea what is going on and seems panicked. Even Lutnick, despite being used in an unending series of cable news soundbites saying incredibly out of touch, stupid thing, clearly is just a bystander.

The people doing this are not serious people. I don't know whether that should scare me more, or less.
No, you don’t. The stock market isn’t something that happens in isolation. It’s going down because the economic future is looking very bad.

So if it did crash to 2018 levels, you’d get some cheap stocks but the world would be on fire. The companies would be cheap because their future would be bleak. Under extreme tariff regimes, their competition would come from companies outside the country.
They are banned here in Vermont, and it’s great. Going across the border to New York or Massachusetts is always a shock. They’re just so ugly.

I don't think this reflects a flaw in LLM's at all. It is true that Paul Newman is not "known for" having alcohol problems. Paul Newman is known for acting, and salad dressing. Paul Newman has been "known to" have had alcohol problems, which formed as a question correctly one-shots accurate results for me across a few common LLMs. Someone like Betty Ford could be "known for" having alcohol problems. Paul Newman's alcohol problems are relatively specialized knowledge.
Ick, OK, ACK.
what's a good thing to run on a headless raspi for this?
A. Implement guardrails (like already done against prompt injection).

Invariant blog post mentions this:

> Conclusion: Agents require extensive, highly-contextual guardrailing and security solutions

> As one of our core missions at Invariant, we absolutely cannot stress enough how important it is to rely on extensive guardrailing with AI models and their actions. We come to this conclusion repeatedly, as part of our research and engineering work on agentic systems. The MCP ecosystem is no exception to this rule. Security must be implemented end-to-end, including not only the tool descriptions but also the data that is being passed to and from the AI model.

B. Version the tool descriptions so that they can be pinned and do not change (same way we do for libraries and APIs).

C. Maybe in future, LLMs can implement some sort of "instruction namespacing" - where the developer would be able to say any instruction in this prompt is only applicable when doing X, Y, Z.
Skyscrapers: trees, mountains, cliffs, caves in mountainsides, termite mounds, humans knew things could go high, the Colosseum was built two thousand years ago as a huge multi-storey building.

Rocket ships: volcanic eruptions show heat and explosive outbursts can fling things high, gunpowder and cannons, bellows showing air moves things.

Agriculture: forests, plains, jungle, desert oases, humans knew plants grew from seeds, grew with rain, grew near water, and grew where animals trampled them into the ground.

We need a list of all atempted ideas, all inventions and patents that were ever tried or conceived, and then we see how inventions are the same random permutations on ideas with Darwinian style survivorship as everything else; there were steel boats with multiple levels in them before skyscrapers; is the idea of a tall steel building really so magical when there were over a billion people on Earth in 1800 who could have come up with it?
Capitulate on what? Trump's senior trade advisor was on TV earlier today saying that the tariffs are not subject to negotiation and seemingly rejecting Vietnam's offer to zero out all their tariffs on the US. Trump himself has repeatedly stated that he thinks tariffs are good for the US and plans to keep them as long as there are trade deficits. Is there any reason to believe that there's some set of policy concessions the EU could make tomorrow that would convince the Trump administration to drop tariffs?
Just ban all advertising.
You may know this, but that doesn't mean we all do. LLMs are marketed towards many different groups, including folks who don't have much tech knowledge.
Advertising is a parasitic force on society. It sucks up your attention with a willful intention to change your purchasing behaviour, often knowing that the new behavior is worse for you.

If ads were merely about being informative, they would be boring. But ads want to manipulate, so they have to be flashy and appeal to your emotions.

They pollute your mental headspace, and have no place in a healthy society.

Let's ban billboards. And then let's follow that up with a general purpose ban on paid advertisement.
