Yep. Trump's taken it to a new level by targeting American citizens while they're physically in the USA, and while immigration courts were always a bad joke he's even skipping the kangaroo court and just shipping people off without even a pretense of due process or legal justification. Rather than an incremental step forward on the path of authoritarianism, this administration has taken a flying leap out the frog-boiling pot, straight into the inferno.

Your description (including the detailed description in the reply) seems to be missing the crucial difference that git uses - the hash code of the object is not some GUID, it is literally the hash of the content of the object. This makes a big difference as you don't need some central registry that maps the GUID to the object.

If it's politically expedient, that is. For one thing, they were far less violent than the BLM protesters. Yet one group is called 'protestors' and the other 'insurrectionists'.
> A big european country’s government just arrested a popular politician to prevent her from running for president using some silly charges that could have been used against any politician

Silly charges being blatant stealing of public money with obvious and well visible for anyone to see proof? Yes, a bunch of French politicians have been sued for corruption and stealing public money, and they have all received bans from pursuing office and/or house arrest/prison sentence. Do you have anything to say that invalidates the proven in court evidence? It has been known and proven for years she used her EU MEP budget (that was for her role as an MEP) to pay for personal and party expenses. Neither her nor her party hid it.

> Another European country cancelled an election because a candidate was likely to win they the people in power didn’t like.

No, because he obviously violated election law by lying on his financial declaration (declared campaign funding of 0, yet had tons of paid ads for him). Again, do you have anything to say against the proven in court crimes or are you again just ignoring reality to sell a narrative.

> They even revoke citizenships — then deport the people. Is France fascist

Of terrorists, if they have another citizenship, yes. All countries do this.

I think nobody is calling that part fascism. The failed coup attempt, ignoring laws and courts to rule by decree, sending random people with no due process to detention camps, including abroad, requesting bribes. That part is clear cut fascism.

Hi, I'm Igor. I have 8+ years of experience as a software engineer and technology-oriented China specialist. Based in Switzerland. Recently, I have designed and implemented a large part of internal production systems at $CMPR, built in AWS. Side focus on security.

I've been engaged with China since 2015. In 2020, I've started a degree in Chinese Studies at the University of Zürich. I've just finished a scholarship at the BFSU, the best language university in China. In 2024, I have interpreted between Polish, English and Mandarin Chinese for the Polish Trade & Investment Agency at the Polish-Chinese Economic Forum in Shanghai (see pics on LinkedIn). I also keep tabs on technology and Chinese cybersecurity laws through Chinese sources.

Has anyone used this? In my ~/.bash_profile, I have "eval "$(luarocks path --bin)"" which is very slow, and it needs to be called. How does this work with "lux"?

Additionally, I think there should be examples on the website of typical workflow(s).

Additionally, does it work with LuaJIT? I assume it does, but worth a question.
On another note, I wonder when the next "less than 4kb bundle size" framework we're going to see. Somehow, that always ends up mattering!

You can criticize the lack of effort and point that criticism directly at those in charge. Taking cheap shots at people making personal choices to at least not contribute to the problems directly is just not ever going to do anything positive. Again, these individuals are not the ones in control of government policy. They are just trying to do what they feel is a better way than actively participating in the worsening.

Shout at the US government all you want. At least you'll be putting the blame of inaction where it belongs. You're efforts will have the same effect that you say the individuals are having. None.

You want to make changes? Run for office. Get elected. Enact change. Oh, right, your comfy salary and cushy job are too nice to actually take on any sacrifice to do that. So getting a government job making changes from the inside are also not going to happen for same comfy/cushy reasons. Also, now, those jobs don't exist. So go out and campaign for those that are working to get into office. Work to campaign against those that are in office but not doing anything.

There's much more helpful ways of trying to get large scale changes made than trying to belittle other individuals.
It seems their deeper sequencing of dire wolf samples clarified the phylogeny - they claim the dire wolf's closest living relative is the gray wolf, at 99.5% identity. The 2021 study was only able to sequence the dire wolf genome at 0.23x coverage and put a 0.56 probability on their species tree (Fig 2A).

And a relevant piece of ancient wisdom (exact date not known, but presumably before 1970):

> In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

> “What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

> “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.

> “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.

> “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.

> Minsky then shut his eyes.

> “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

> “So that the room will be empty.”

> At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
Unlike the hard problem of "making an exam difficult to take when you have access to an LLM", "making sure students don't have devices on them when they take one" is very tractable, even if teachers are going to need some time to catch up with the curve.

Any of the following could work, though the specific tradeoffs & implementation details do vary:

- have <n> teachers walking around the room to watch for cheaters

- mount a few cameras to various points in the room and give the teacher a dashboard so that they can watch from all angles

- record from above and use AI to flag potential cheaters for manual review

- disable Wi-Fi + activate cell jammers during exam time (with a land-line in the room in case of emergencies?)

- build dedicated examination rooms lined with metal mesh to disrupt cell reception

So unlike "beating LLMs" (where it's an open question as to whether it's even possible, and a moving target to boot), barring serious advances in wearable technology this just seems like a question of funding and therefore political will.

Same in mine. But mine isn’t predicated on the irreplaceability of human labor to derive value from human life. If we automated literally everything and we could all just live off UBI and drink wine and look at the stars all day, humans would still be intrinsically valuable. Or, the ability of a machine to generate art good enough to serve as a fun D&D avatar does not devalue a human doing the same. You may be attaching a… market value… to humans by proxy of their capital output. Very capitalist of you. If you look at things that way, the value of a human life has been trending toward zero and will continue. So I prefer not to hold a belief system that only values humans by the value of their labor. Therefore I am not bothered when we invent a new tool that might compete with human labor.

I majored in CogSci at UCSD in the 90's. I've been interested and active in the machine learning world for decades. The LLM boom took me completely and utterly by surprise, continues to do so, and frankly I am most mystified by the folks who downplay it. These giant matrixes are already so far beyond what we thought was (relatively) easily achievable that even if progress stopped tomorrow, we'd have years of work to put in to understand how we got here. Doesn't mean we've hit AGI, but what we already have is truly remarkable.

The title we changed it to is a verbatim sentence from the post (which is what we always try to do when we change a title), and thus is also/still the article author's opinion.

But with this title, the discussion can be drawn towards the question of whether the license would or wouldn’t meet the widely regarded definition of open source, rather than whether it meets each commenter’s own definition of open source, which would be a much less gratifying discussion.
The multi billion company hasn't tricked anyone here so your comment makes no sense.
> Camera sensors from different companies (and different generations) don't have the same color (or if you prefer, spectral) responses with both their Bayer filter layer and the underlying physical sensor

This is all accommodated for in the DNG spec. The camera manufacturers specify the necessary matrix transforms to get into the XYZ colorspace, along with a linearization table.

If they really think the spectral sensitivity is some valuable IP, they are delusional. It should take one Macbeth chart, a spreadsheet, and one afternoon to reverse engineer this stuff.

Given that third party libraries have figured this stuff out, seems they have failed while only making things more difficult for users.
With all the unemployed tech workers, would it just make sense to hire someone who knows their salt to do recruiting and interviews? Recruiters always seem to have a blast moving between random high-level companies and ghosting people over text, socials and the phone. If they lack both the social skills and the technical knowledge, I don't know what their value proposition is, but compared to chronic underemployment after actually learning Java, C, C++, they're clearly winning.
Right - moldable development makes sense to me, but presently I feel like I can do all these things by glueing tools together with Emacs.

If you had an implementation of ggplot style plotting native to Glamorous Toolkit that would definitely catch my attention, though. Nowadays I typically tie together Python, R, and other languages with Emacs being my sort of control center.

I get the impression Glamorous Toolkit could step in here but it seems like such a lift to reach feature parity with a set of tools and GTK doesn't seem to integrate as well with other stuff as Emacs does, partly because Emacs just accepts that throwing around a bunch of text is 80% of what I want.

This isn't just common sense. But basic business practice.

https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/article/understanding...

>A wealth of academic research since the 1970s has established a clear and consistent inverse relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. Meta-analyses synthesizing hundreds of individual studies consistently report a moderate to strong negative correlation between the two variables across cultures, industries and occupations (Cotton & Tuttle, 1986; Griffeth et al., 2000; Hom et al., 2017; Tett & Meyer, 1993). In other words, higher levels of satisfaction are linked to lower probabilities employees will contemplate leaving their roles. The strength of this association has remained stable over time despite changes to workplaces and economies.

It's one of those few universal values across time and cultures. A basic query will give you all the citations you want.

> was never proposing privatizing anything.

Just magically finding the lowest number the government can get away with for functioning. Not taking into account the bus factor. Redundancy, natural turnover as people retire, die, or simply change life goals, and a dozen other factors.

And apparently not the idea that when a strained organization needs a big job done but lacks people, they bid a contract to private companies (hence, privatization). We already see the result of this with Defense in how we contract everything to be made. Trillions of dollars of "efficiency" and relatively little knowledge in-house.

This isn't even a government issue. This is basic business. You can't run 100% lean. It's never the most efficient means because a pebble means catastrophic delays.

Agreed, I'd been working on a Google Sheets specific MCP last week – just got it published here:

The title seems to say that it's a bad thing to use AI to prepare for an interview, when in fact it can be quite useful to use AI (and before AI there were dozens of "Preparing for the technical interview" books). The real issue is that the candidate lied about their experience, not that they used AI to prep. They could just as easily have lied about their experience without using AI to prep.
Yea, and they are designed to filter out actually stationary things by ignoring anything that's coming at you at the same speed as the current car speed (from measuring wheel rotation).

Dartmouth researchers stress that the technology is still a long way from market and say they need to run additional trials on the therabot before it will be widely available.

And, Wright says, human therapists should not be intimidated by their AI counterparts. Given the tremendous shortage of mental health providers, " I don't think humans need to be concerned that they're going to be put out of business," she says.

the AI therapist/bot may eventually be able to do CBT just as undergraduates can prove the efficacy of CBT by getting the client to fill out forms after each session.

CBT afterall is just teaching the clients the ABC's of CBT and how to be their own therapist using CBT concepts.

Of course, someone who arrive for their first session very distraught will see an improvement after six weeks when all that happens is filling in forms after each session.

The first session: how depressed are you today = Im a 10 today,

The sixth session: how depressed are you today = Im an 8 today

real observeable proof that CBT works. I told you that an undergrad could prove it.

There are never any long term improvements with CBT that actually last.
