Again, I'm not saying Cyc's approach is correct. I'm saying that the underlying hope that made Lenat plow through the AI winter is the same one that made ML researchers plow through it. It's just that the ML researchers reached the end of the tunnel first (for some senses of first).

Intruiging (in a great way). Do you have any recommendations of any Brazilian sources (Portuguese em Ingles) about the Brazilian and MERCOSUR FinTech and Public Tech industry? I'd love to dig even deeper, but my background is more NAM and Indo-Pac driven. I passed on NuBank eons ago and don't want to make the same mistake again.

> Brazil, installments with credit cards are also super common... Basically when you put a credit card on any website or buy on a store, you can just choose to pay in 12x

Yea that kinda makes sense. The market dynamics in Brazil reminds me a lot of India albeit better regulated (thank you OECD reforms), but tbf, there has been a lot of cross-pollination between Brazilian and Indian policymakers - Cambridge MA is that kinda melting pot, and Brazil has a very similar political dynamic.
Maybe Im missing something but can’t you run workloads in separate network namespaces and then attach a bpf probe to the veth interface in the namespace? At that point you know all flows on that veth are from a specific workload as long as you keep track of what is running in which network namespaces?

I wonder if it is possible with ipv6 to never (or you roll through the addresses so reuse is temporally distant) re use addresses which removes the problems with staleness and false attribution.

We manufacture more today than at any time in history. We just do it with a whole lot fewer people.

Have jobs been lost to outsourcing? Sure. But far more jobs have been lost to automation and the elimination of obsolete industries. While companies might have avoided investing in automation through the use of cheap labor in other countries, there is little doubt that will change if they re-shore.

> This is a solved problem. It is simple to download content shortly before it is very likely to be needed using plain old HTML.

No, it is not. There's no way to send the incremental results of typing in a search box, for instance, to the server with HTML alone - you need to use Javascript. And then you're still paying the latency penalty, because you don't know what the user's full search term is going to be until they press enter, and any autocomplete is going to have to make a full round trip with each incremental keystroke.

> Your links mortally wounds your argument for js frameworks, because poor latency is linked strongly with poor download speeds. The second link also has screen fulls of text slamming sites who make users download 10-20MBs of data (i.e. the normal js front ends).

I never said anything about or implying "download 10-20MBs of data (i.e. the normal js front ends)" in my question. Bad assumption. So, no, there's no "mortal wound" because you just strawmanned my premises.

> Additionally, devices in the parts of the world the article mentions, devices are going to be slower and access to power less consistent, all of which are huge marks against client side processing vs. SSR.

As someone building web applications - no, they really aren't. My webapps sip power and compute and are low-latency while still being very poorly optimized.

Most people in Brazil won't do this so who gives a shit? You may as well say, "now try to use Pix on the moon!"
This is equivalent to suggesting (in a world without IP law) that the supporters of such a system ought to start competing firms that refuse to copy things without providing compensation in order that the competition might demonstrate the benefits of the system. Of course without the regulation neither of those systems is likely to be part of a viable business model.

That said I agree with your second paragraph. I think we will see an explosion of high quality niche products that would never have been remotely viable before this.
crazy volatility
It's a desert. I'm pretty sure the temperature is such that wearing anything but the absolute minimum would be extremely uncomfortable.
I assume this will be primarily used for “violent” protestors?

It’s kind of weird to me that they hate protestors so much since I think people are mixed on the protestors, and any good will they have for being “victimized” by the protestors will be lost.
Amusingly, it wasn't until I put the feeder out (with suet and a bunch of other seed) that he started drumming. It wasn't right away; there was about a year or so where the red-bellied just came for the food. There were several different males and females back then. Now, I'm pretty sure it's just him. I've read that they can drum like this in part to mark territory, so maybe he's just trying to keep the food for himself. He still has to duke it out with all the other birds though. Can be pretty entertaining.

And fortunately, I'm usually up by 4 or 5 am anyway so he's never woken me up, but yes, he's banging away really early.
Various parts of the energy sector (line maintenance in particular) seem to be hit pretty hard with cost disease & liabilities, plus there are often 2 or 3 companies, a market (being gamed), local authorities (that need a cut and have admin costs) and a regulatory structure between you and the power station.

I dunno how it will all play out but given how "overhead" costs keep rising it's possible that private solar & storage costs drop low enough that its cheaper than grid power in many places despite being much less efficient from first principles.

Physics vs beauracracy.

From my perspective, prices for full "off grid" setup dictate the maximum that utilities can charge, basically the main thing keeping them honest at this point. The other thing to price in would be the likelihood of new taxes / fees or bans on local generation if it looks like the grid will hit a death spiral.
Yes, and the American N95+ mask manufacturers didn't want to risk another boom-bust cycle so when the government wouldn't guarantee them a long term purchase deal, they couldn't ramp up. They had gone through this same scenario during the first SARS scare and almost went bankrupt when everyone went back to buying cheaper imported masks.

I stumbled across the feature a few hours ago. I had asked Gemini why there's a hole in the middle of the city of Azusa, topologically speaking. It had given me a useless tautological response: because they never annexed it. Then it offered to create a research report and I agreed. Five minutes later I got a notification on my mobile that the report was ready. It had 120 sources including assessor's maps, historical maps, court cases, and narrative articles. The text that went along with it was too verbose and still contained paragraphs of vague stuff, but it had key information linking the Mexican land grants, the founding of the city, and other events of history. Very impressive.
You speak like they would have to do something 'aggressive'. If you can achieve a circular economy, where robots produce products for the benefit of a lucky few who can live off of their investments (in the robots), then the rest of the population will 'naturally' go away.

You might say "but why not use just 1% of that GDP on making sure the rest of humanity lives in at least minimal comfort"? But clearly -- we already choose not to do that today. 1% of the GDP of the developed world would be more than enough to solve many horrifying problems in the developing world -- what we actually give is a far smaller fraction, and ultimately not enough.

I'd say that being a believer doesn't necessarily conflict with being a grifter. In fact the true believer is practically obligated to engage in tricks, because the ends justify the means. For example taking government contracts for anti terrorism because the problem isn't well defined, your results are hard to check, and the money is going to be good if temporary. Anything where you don't really expect to provide promised value is always worth it because you're going to "pay it back" with big results later. For more recent stuff along the same lines, colonizing mars and getting away from oil are like that too, because for the true believer stuff like this is worth a little stock manipulation or whatever else is required.

You're taking a swipe at factory workers, and elevating Software Engineers to the intellectual strata of doctors?

Most working-age adults can be a contemporary Software Engineer (even without LLM cheating).

For that matter, I could teach bright 12 year-olds to apply the technical skills that your average Software Engineer does (though that would be mean, and stunt their development).

You'd better pray that your doctor is much more capable and professional than your typical Software Engineer.

"Tech nerds" like Dorsey and Zuckerberg have almost nothing in common (on a day-to-day basis, with how they live their lives, their material incentives, etc.) with "tech nerds" like "Intel Employee #783,529". Those are not a single class of people, and it was predominantly the first group that pushed this sort of rhetoric, not the latter.

Which is just moving the goalposts, considering that we started at "AI will never..."

You can't win an argument with people who don't care if they're wrong, and someone who begins a sentence that way falls into that category.
The point is that if you run -x you will definitely see plenty of output leading up to the failure. It is true that if the command that fails outputs nothing to stderr, then this may still lead to confusing outcomes, but you will not be staring at empty output, you'll be staring at the commands leading up to the failure.

This is of course no different than if you had set -e and then a command with no pipes failed silently without outputting anything to stderr.

I don't personally see why this is notable in relation to pipefail.
I used Plot for an academic paper I wrote recently. It was the only charting library that I found that let me generate the charts I wanted to draw - which in my case was a grouped bar chart with a logarithmic scale. Ie:

https://github.com/josephg/egwalker-paper/blob/master/diagra...

I didn't try echarts though. I might have to give it a go if its good.
It will be used against anyone who is inconvenient.
It’s because it’s never “this is my personal experience”, it’s always of the “this whole AI thing is nonsense because it doesn’t work for me” variety.
CEA Chairman Steve Miran Hudson Institute Event Remarks
I just bought a lathe to lock in prices before tariffs cause them to rise. Its a hobby I've wanted to get into for a long time.

There are no manufacturers of screw cutting lathes (a variant of engine lathes and what most people think of as a manual lathe) left in the USA. If you look at old 60s/70s catalogs of lathes the basic models would cost around $15,000 in adjusted money. The Chinese imports are $3000.

Could someone make a competitive lathe for around $3000 in the USA? Perhaps. But it will take significant investment to make that happen. I'm not sure where that investment will come from as Wall Street has no interest in such things.
The production of works that use AI will drop, while the cost to produce higher quality works - works that don't use AI - will remain the same. All we'll get is more AI slop.
Show HN: DrawDB – open-source online database diagram editor (a retro)
One year ago I open-sourced my very first 'real' project and shared it here. I was a college student in my senior year and desperately looking for a job. At the time of sharing it i couldn't even afford a domain and naively let someone buy the one i had my eyes on lol. It's been a hell of a year with this blowing up, me moving to another country, and switching 2 jobs.

In a year we somehow managed to hit 26k stars, grow a 1000+ person discord community, and support 37 languages. I couldn't be more grateful for the community that helped this grow, but now i don't know what direction to take this project in.

All of this was an accident. But now I feel like I'm missing out on not using this success. I have been thinking of monetization options, but not sure if I wanna go down that route. I like the idea of it being free and available for everyone but also can't help but think of everything that could be done if committed full-time or even had a small team. I keep telling myself(and others) i'll do something if i meet a co-founder, but doubt and fear of blowing this up keeps back.

How would you proceed?
While I do like LLMs for these tasks, unfortunately this one failed you but was a near enough miss that you couldn't see it. What you were really looking for is the Red Queen problem/hypothesis/race, named after a quote from Through the Looking Glass, with the Queen explaining to Alice: "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place." In particular, the Red Queen term is specifically the equilibrium you inquired about, where relative fitness is unchanging, rather than the more general concept of an evolutionary arms race in which there can be winners and losers. The terms 'evolutionary equilibrium' and 'evolutionary steady state' are also used to capture the idea of the equilibrium, rather than just of competition.

Evolutionary arms race is somewhat tautological; an arms race is the description of the selective pressure applied by other species on evolution of the species in question. (There are other, abiotic sources of selective pressures, e.g. climate change on evolutionary timescales, so while 'evolution' at least carries a broader meaning, 'arms race' adds nothing that wasn't already there.)

That said, using your exact query on deepseek r1 and claude sonnet 3.7 both did include red queen in their answers, along with other related concepts like tit for tat escalation.
Python is a great language for the non-professional programmer who wants to put their other skills on wheels. Even if other languages have more pedagogical value, Python is easy to learn and not a waste of time of time for anybody. (At work I code Java/Javascript but wrote a “maintainance droid” in Python that merges changes from git, installs database migrations, runs tests and all that so I don’t have to.)
I'll have to dig it up (maybe if I get time tomorrow I'll try), but I've seen a couple research papers where they wrote software that got was pretty effective at decoding peoples passwords by listening to them type. Between different keys sounding slightly different, the timing between keystrokes, and an individual's personal typing patterns, it's not even all that difficult. So yes, that sort of thing has definitely been done.
We’re like trading cards to these people
I have never understood this.

If everyone is educated, who is going to collect your garbage, fix your car, replace your broken pipe in the wall, cut down the rest of the tree that fell across the street, stock your groceries, sell you fast food, drive trucks across the country, build houses and buildings, pump septic tanks… I can keep going.

I don’t get it, never have. Education is not some magical bullet. In fact, having attended college and graduated with a now-lucrative job as an sw engineer, I can say I learned almost nothing at all in college because of the institution itself. At best it made me teach myself whatever was in the class textbooks. The professors mostly spoke English as a second or 3rd language and the TAs were even worse.

“Oh the culture, the diversity!” Meant absolutely nothing to me, I’ve had diverse family and friends since I was a child.
I'm more of a visual person when it comes to puzzles like these so here's my take:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Mary B B A B A B B A B B 7
Dan B A A A B A B A A A 5
Lisa B A A A B B B A B A 3
Colin B B A A A B B A A A ?

First I remove the answers that everyone agreed on. We know that one of these 4 answers is wrong because of Lisa.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Mary _ B _ B A B _ _ B B 7
Dan _ A _ A B A _ _ A A 5
Lisa _ A _ A B B _ _ B A 3
Colin _ B _ A A B _ _ A A ?

Next we can assume anything matching Lisa's remaining answers are wrong, so I will put an x for those. These we 100% know are wrong answers.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Mary _ B _ B A x _ _ x B 7
Dan _ x _ x x A _ _ A x 5
Lisa _ x _ x x x _ _ x x 3
Colin _ B _ x A x _ _ A x ?

If you count both the remaining answers and the blanks, you'll see they equal to their score + 1. That 1 being that unknown of the 4 original blank columns where everyone agreed.

So the answer for Colin would by 6 because he has 7 remaining answers.
Besides, all the "I'm tariffing! Maybe not. I'm tariffing! I'm super serious this time! Maybe not" leading up to this destroyed confidence that these'll even be fully implemented—the tariffs are still rolling out, and will be until early next month. And if implemented, will he keep them going? Month after month? I don't think most people with capital believe it.

Proof of the uncertainty is that Wall Street clearly thinks there's a good chance he'll back off. That's why the market still has room to keep falling, rather than having already fallen as far as it will for a while. It's got a lot of room left. All that room is people betting he's not going to keep this up.
Same story here, landed on Apache Echart (it seems, like many others)
I think the popularity of these 3dx funds can in part be explained by higher margin costs due to higher interest rates. Retail traders have extremely unfavorable borrowing terms for margin accounts, whereas funds borrow at the much better prime rate. So buying a leveraged fund means taking advantage of these better borrowing terms.
China has ~1.4B people and will. They lead in 37 of 44 of advanced technologies. They are already a manufacturer to the world not only for low value goods, but also high tech goods. They are the largest buyer of industrial robotics, they have ~540GW of annual solar PV manufacturing capacity (through the entire vertical), and they account for almost 60% of global EV production. They are erecting twice as much wind and solar capacity as every other country combined. The US has ~340M people and offshored anything that isn't financial services, tech, etc. The US has lost the will to build, and only started to recover it under enormous effort (Inflation Reduction Act). There will be blood. I'm not underplaying the damage the US could do to China via trade restrictions, but rather saying whatever the US does, China will not only survive it, they will lean even harder into whatever they believe will lead to their definition of success.

As Xi would say, "Eat bitterness" (a Chinese idiom signifying enduring hardship and suffering without complaint, often seen as a virtue of perseverance and resilience). Can Americans endure hardship incurred by a brutal global trade war? If so, for how long? Such a natural experiment is about to occur, which is interesting, exciting, and terrifying simultaneously.

> In our testing, raters preferred the reports generated by Gemini Deep Research powered by 2.5 Pro over other leading deep research providers by more than a 2-to-1 margin.

Are these raters experts in the field the report was written on? Did they rate the reports on factuality, broadness, and insights?

These sort of tests (and RLHF in general) are the reason that LLMs often respond with "Great question, you are exactly right to wonder..." or "Interesting insight, I agree that...". I do not want this obsequious behavior, I want "correct answers"[0]. We need some better benchmarks when it comes to human preference.
