> if I go to France, I don't expect government announcements to be provided in English for me.

How many French cities have English names?

Thousands of American cities have Spanish names because they were founded by Spanish explorers. 20% of U.S. states have Spanish names.[1] I'm not arguing that this is reason enough for government announcements to be in English, but I think that comparing the use of Spanish in the U.S. to the use of English in France is invalid.

Even in your own country you’re viewed the same way, it’s just that your database entry has higher privileges. I mean this universally, no particular country in mind.
It's also stupid, even if you're a complete sociopath. "Let's ship 3% of our economy to other countries."

These people work, buy things, and pay taxes. Just rapturing them out of the country will not benefit anyone.
You can if you're a qualified electrician. Or if not do it yourself and get a qualified electrician to approve it afterwards.
Not an Austrian, but your talking about "excuses for such slow ass trains" seems to be missing the fact that the Austrians are building two large rail tunnels:

The Semmering base tunnel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semmering_Base_Tunnel
which will shorten travel between Vienna and Graz, and the Koralmbahn tunnel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koralm_Tunnel

Also, no Alps between Vienna and Graz? Have you looked out of the window? If you haven't, here is the map. The heights of the peaks are in meters, so 3x for feet:

That is a bona fide mountainous terrain.

Are you importing things from all over the internet, without pinning to a specific version? It sounds a lot like it, at least, and in that case I'm not sure how this is a flaw of Nix, or how it would be much different in other places.
I think you'd find many would disagree with each of those claims.
Make it to the end alive. Preferably with others alive around you who like you, and (also preferably) aren’t about to eat you.
My listening to such billionaires explains a different attitude.

Small investors, and medium investors hate market turbulence for sure.
But when you are a billionaire, you can easily profit from short term uncertainty. For example, Chamath recently disclosed a (potentially large) Credit Default Swap position (meaning he makes huge upside if USA debt position deteriorates). But he was the same person deeply concerned about USA long term debt. He is a well connected person to the executive branch.

The reason is that if you are a billionaire (tied to the USA financial system) then you can't escape the system when the entire system falls due to (God forbid) a collapse of the USA financial system in 10 years time. It is like they are the dinosaurs worried about a Meteor strike, but not worried about tigers and snakes (that can't hurt them).
Let's hope they don't get with I.G. Farben for their 'expertise'.

I'm not joking at this point.
Interesting approach. Qualitative model, developed in collaboration (well, conjunction) with young women. Then applied quantitatively.
I'd even say it was institutionally tolerated to have a cheap workforce with a built-in ejection seat.
> we’re interested in seeing how AI decides to recommend products, especially now that they are actively searching the web.

So how does it work then? My naive assumption would be that it’s largely a hybrid LLM + crawled index, so still based on existing search engines that prioritise based on backlinks and a bunch of other content-based signals.

If LLMs replace search, how do marketers rank higher? More of the same? Will LLMs prioritise content generated by other LLMs or will they prefer human generated content? Who is defining the signals if not google anymore?

Vast swathes of the internet are indirectly controlled by google as people are willing to write and do anything to rank higher. What will happen to that content? Who will pull the strings?
I came across CSS Zero recently:

https://csszero.lazaronixon.com/lookbook/pages/overview

which bills itself as an "opinionated front-end starter kit" specifically for Rails and includes Stimulus.js code for JavaScript functionality.

It seems the benefits are that it is no build (pure CSS with CSS variables) and easy to modify and extend.
VAT doesn't affect free trade in any way though. You're mixing up unrelated concepts.
But what about fuel?
Yes and no. The MAGA revolution is internally carried by the lower class not associated with and uninterested in geopolitics. In fact they believe in exceptionalism and don't understand why they feel exploited and don't know who is doing it. However it would not be possible politically if not tolerated by the upper class who is smelling decline (of their wealth), because competition has moved into their part of the value chain, so they do two things. One, they now support protectionism to shield from competition. Two, they wish to exploit the lower class harder, so they point them outwards to avoid a physical revolution or an amicable redistribution.

If you want to explain MAGA you have to understand it's a convenient alignment of the upper class and the lower class for different reasons.

Thanks for the insight, but how it is different from today?

- Countries now thought it IS okay to invade other countries just to make themselves bigger/stronger countries: There are currently many examples in the news.

- Nationalism, racism, sexism are the norm: Nationalism is obviously on the rise. Racism never disappeared, even being tattooed is seen as an excuse to deport people.

https://azmirror.com/2025/04/08/ice-director-envisions-amazo...

- Women and men are much more sexualized today than in my youth, despite the talk of feminism and #metoo.

- Most people can't read/write (see Piza results). Only 10% of people can understand a simple statistics.

- Information is scant (see social networks and disinformation)

For context, about my post, I am from France, and what I wrote is not specific to any country but seems to me to apply to all.
I’m watching people rapidly go several standard deviations of anti Americanism here in Europe regularly the last two months.

Like people are actively looking for ways to make sure the US feels the pain and consequences of their actions in little day to day ways.

I’d prefer it had a lot more nuance to be honest, I don’t think it’s particularly helpful to look at this through the lens of the entire country but yeah, I’m genuinely amazed at what I’m watching, people are NOT going to forget or forgive this shit anytime soon.
Well, it will definitely benefit the people listed in the article and their friends at contractor companies. As for economic or moral aspects - those in power to not give a flying fcuk, it seems.
Currently I would not invest in any solution that enforces usage of a single LLM model provider, as the scene is really dynamic with the best player changing every month. Now Gemini 2.5 looks really great, but Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek and others are probably working on the next, better model.

So, Aider + whatever seems to be working best, seems to be the best strategy that works for me. Aider has this nice feature that I can specify what files are added to the context, so I pay less and I do not confuse AI with stuff unrelated to a given task.

Godwins law does not apply when the people you're talking about are literal Nazis. I count people into that who say they adore Hitler and do Nazi salutes on stages.

Maybe not enough people have made the experience that (A) people following a genoicidal ideology still exist and (B) they try their best to wear the sheeps fur of populism while they try to get into power.

I grew up in an Austrian province with one of my grandfathers in the Wehrmacht, Nazis are weak idiots that always look elsewhere when there is a problem instead of fixing it at home. With 14 I met my first neo-nazis that were admiring their Nazi-grandfathers. All incredibly insecure people, who thought a violent ideology was the only way how they could make their environment perceive them as powerful and manly.

I said in the beginning of Trumps first presidential campaign that the guy is a fascist and got swamped with criticism, of how I could know that. I know that, because I grew up with the type that would love him and under the devastating governance of one Jörg Haider, one of the first "Neue Rechte" poltical heads in Europe. He famously had ties to the likes of Gaddafi before be died in self-inflicted car accident with two bottles of vodka in him.

Trump is still a fascist only this time he is also surrounded by fascists. Needless to say, historically that form of despotic governance didn't really last and lead to the worst atrocities in human history.
We don't talk enough around here about how dehumanising Amazons (and many tech companies) approach to human workers is.
> I don't think capital has any special attachment to real estate specifically

It's one of the few things that are real (ba-dum-tss). And given that demand for housing is inelastic, it'll absolutely absorb any extra money injected into the system as UBI.

Put differently: whatever you set UBI to, it'll always be just barely enough to cover rent on a shack today and not enough tomorrow.

One workable version of UBI was Communism (as implemented in the Soviet Union, not in modern-day China). There you explicitly take the fundamentals like housing out of the economic system and make it a crime to exchange them for money. Prices of staples are tightly controlled, and excess income is to be used for aspirational expenses. It turns out though that it's hard to implement in practice because without a way to regulate demand - the supply side tends to fall over.

I couldn't find any mentions of what audio codec it uses in an initial search, but I see "HD Audio" and other sources online say it's a Realtek, so this seems to be a standard Intel HD Audio codec. What's lesser-known is that most if not all of them have a built-in EQ function which can be used to accomplish this (and perhaps the original vendor's Windows drivers already do), but it's not well-documented. Linux has some code for that too (search for EQ in here):

VAT applies equally to domestic and imported products and doesn't affect the balance. Tariffs only apply to imports, thus giving domestic producers an advantage (either lower prices or higher profit margins).

That WW2 theory seems like a bit of an odd take, although not a completely outlandish one. I also noticed that in the late 19th century, railways received a lot of government support and that is what enabled a dense network of passenger train stations in city centers in the first place.

At least in Germany, there are options to bring the cost of long distance train tickets down considerably. Booking far enough in advance can get you almost any long distance ticket to proces comparable with flying. If you do that a 3 or 4 times a year, consider getting a Bahncard 25, which is a cheap 25% off coupon for a year. It just needs a few train rides to completely amortize. Just don't forget to cancel it in time when you no longer need it (that's the catch).

I don't know if other countries have similar options and how effective they are.

Eh. That sort of sentiment is not exclusive to the USA. Try applying for a visa if you're not from a rich country.

This is the wildest thing about all of this. This is not a problem to begin with. The "solution" is the actual problem, and the problem—people who want to live and work in the US—benefits US society.

Some of you do. Some of you don't. Most of you want of you presidents to obey courts at least.[1]

In 2013 Democrats eliminated the 60 vote requirement for most nominations. In 2022 all but 2 Democrats voted to eliminate it for some legislation. Who kept it was 100% of Republicans, Sinema, and Manchin.

Some people who sounded like you said Democrats could have and should have blackmailed Sinema and Manchin to get 50 votes. They couldn't explain what would have stopped Sinema or Manchin from defecting to the Republicans.

You know the Israeli government has also used the phrase "From the river to the sea", right?

"Intifada" just means "uprising"; the original Palestinian intifadas referred to nonviolent work stoppages, protests, etc. The attempt to imply it means something grosser is your ignorance and/or racism.

Well, although this particular quote is from a book from 2010, Terry Pratchett had been writing about these kinds of problems for decades at that point too, so that fits. For example, in Reaper Man from 1991 shopping malls were invasive parasitical life-forms from another universe.
I checked this route, it's very wiggly. Would there really be much to gain, even if the top speed was doubled?

It's a train, so:

- Braking takes a lot of time and space

- Allowing overtaking takes a lot of infrastructure and good timetabling.
> summarize documents in seconds

Serious question: What documents include high-quality content but are too long to read and lack summaries written by the authors of the documents? None come to mind immediately. Research papers have abstracts. Book chapters have introductions. I can't think of an example. Are you referring to low-quality content that isn't worth reading?
This is nice! But some of the descriptions are really ambiguous. Some of them are also kinda wrong, imo.

£5k/yr would be fairly typical for lease of an average family car in the UK I think. Quite low, even.

Maybe you can get it down to £1k/year by driving an old car that you’ve fully paid off (in which case you’re ignoring the amorted cost), never needs maintenance, has a low value to minimise depreciation and insurance etc., but even then 2-3x that wouldn’t be uncommon.

Because Haiku has taken such an extraordinarily long time, as with a city centre that was constructed over multiple centuries we can see the clear lines of new work with new techniques and materials on top of old work done in a way that was usual at the time.

Haiku has a lot of C++ 98 code or even pre-standard C++, not least all the stuff re-used with permission from BeOS. As was usual for projects at that time many fundamental building blocks are provided rather than using a language standard. For example there's BString and BList.

Haiku also has seams of BSD code where there'd be a project to do Whatever (WiFi, TLS, drivers, etc.) "properly" in a way unique to Haiku but as a stop gap here's some BSD code until we finish our own proper solution, which of course never happens.
I'm also one of the people who have tried Nix(OS) a couple of times and found it too much of a hassle, but nightmare is exaggerating a bit, I feel.

Nix's strength and weakness is that it wants to take over everything, and if you want to do something without it, you might be in a world of pain. And after doing more or less standard unixy things for 20+ years, it's difficult to hand over control to a new thing like that.

> can ultimately understand the underlying reasoning

This is at the root of the Dunnin-Kruger effect. When you read an explanation you feel like you understand it. But it's an illusion, because you never developed the underlying cognition, you just saw the end result.

Learning is not about arriving at the result, or knowing the answers. These are by products of the process of learning. If you just short cut to the end by products, you get the appearance of learning. And you might be able to play the system and come out with a diploma. But you didn't actually develop cognitive skills at all.
And then you try to eat figurines, and find out they're not as digestable
