The “mystery”? I took it to be the arc of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy with her first daughter Gerti—the new awareness of which makes sense of his sister Gertrude’s shotgun marriage to the best friend Anton, and Schiele’s abrupt stylistic shift and change in lifestyle afterward. Apparently they hid her well.
The really big issue is that there isn't enough money in it, there is no way to get an exclusive.

Trump threatens China with 50% tariffs if 34% retaliation stays
If the aim of the current administration to weaken the dollar succeeds, it may not matter. Even avoiding tariffs it will be that much more expensive to buy things in foreign countries.
I do think you're on to something.

What if we took the approach of creating a clear legal distinction between advertising companies and non-advertising companies?

For example, if you want to be an advertising company, there are limits on what and how you can publish (such as having to use pull instead of push channels), and you don't get to also try to be a product or service company. If you want to be a non-advertising company, then you can't publish advertising.

This seems effective and also a much easier scenario to envision for those who find legal restrictions on speech to be unpalatable or inconceivable. It is actually not that outlandish at all; rather it's well within the bounds of what we already do. We already categorize companies by function and apply all kinds of different rules (restrictions on where and when and how they can operate, requirements for licensing and registration, environmental standards, liability standards, taxation rules) to companies based on what they produce or what purpose they serve, and we already accept that doing so has societal benefits.

There is also plenty of precedent for regulations that discourage cross-category operations precisely to simplify enforcement and manage risk. Healthcare providers are separated from payers; drugs cannot also be dietary supplements; legal businesses can't combine with non-law businesses; and so on. Even if cross-category operations aren't completely banned, the rules create friction and deterrence that still has important effects.

I am more than aware of Typescript, you seem to have misunderstood my point: I was not describing a particular type system (of which there have been many of this ilk) but rather conjecturing that targeting interfaces specifically might make LLM-based code generation/type inference more effective.
We need to get rid of the two party system. I'm not trying to excuse what I think was some particularly bad thinking on the part of folks supporting Trump, but at the same time, if you're mad at one party the only real option is to support the other party, and that creates terrible incentives.

It seems to be fairly nuanced in how abilities transfer: https://arxiv.org/html/2310.16937v2

Very hard for me to wrap my head around the idea that an LLM being able to discuss, even perhaps teach high level chess strategy wouldn't transfer at all to its playing performance
It's more like Spacemacs. An opinionated, programmable interface to an operating system that allows you to edit and execute text, browse the web, play git and so on. Just that it has a fleshed out GUI toolkit you interface with, unlike Spacemacs which is heavily text oriented.

With the territory also comes that it's somewhat hard for newcomers to understand why the tool is important to longtime converts. The clear use cases seem mundane. 'You can edit text in it'. 'You can execute code in it'. 'It lets you debug programs'. To which one might respond: 'Yeah, so? Why do I need elisp/Smalltalk? My Electron app already does that and it doesn't come with weird Internet nerds.'

If you get into it and later find that it helped you out to be able to deeply inspect or reprogram your notetaking, program execution, feed reader, git environment, then you'll start to think that it has something special. But that might take a while, and most of the way there you could just as well have used some other tool instead.

I graduated in June 2009 from a UC just after the crash. It took me until September 2010 to find a job in the field I wanted and get my career going. I got super lucky and found that job off a Craigslist ad. Just remember the system isn't set up to support you, so you are going to have to be proactive, creative, try and network and be uncomfortable asking for what you want until you get it. These are core life skills. Grit 'n' Grind.

Or more likely China starting a war, which is periodically threatens to do eventually over Taiwan.

And China will win, because it's successfully hollowing out the West, more and more every day: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/business/china-manufactur...:

On the fringes of cities all over China, new factories are being built day and night, and existing factories are being upgraded with robots and automation.

+1 to this. If I go look at social media the job market is ending. But if I look at the signals around me there's plenty of opportunities.

Also consider taking something below (or even much below) expectations. It's much easier to work your way up with connections than it is to get in the door with no references.
Indeed. I found myself unemployed and having a very hard time finding work after the '08 crash. My newly minted degree turned out to be worthless in that environment. It worked out for the best as I took a low paying job as a technician that at least let me make enough money to pay the rent and buy food while I continued building up skills. It's a raw deal and it's not fair, but the only thing you can control is yourself. Try to keep a positive attitude and understand that it won't be this way forever.
I think it's going to be terrible at that :( Separating SEO spam from useful products isn't a strength of LLMs.

Probably a normal prompt without deep research would be better for that (but less recent), especially for topics that humans previously discussed a lot in the past (like on pre-AI reddit). Signal to noise ratio is only going to go down, down, down from here... :(

I don't think you'll get useful results from deep research in a case like this, trying to distinguish between all the contemporary advertisers and cut through the spam. Deep research is good at summarizing sources, and it works well if you can tell it what kind of trustworthy sources to focus on. It's not so good at judging the relative merit of each source. And in this case, there are no trustworthy sources... it's all just spam. If you manage to get good results out of it for market research, you should probably just start a business and become a billionaire selling that functionality instead of whatever you were researching :)

Not kidding, but I'm actually afraid people will check AI usage and start nagging us that:

Our company has Cursor, which I sometimes use, but 1. for lots of tasks, the most precise language is the programming language, 2. I don't love it, prefer other editors, and I go for in-browser search + AI.

If this letter was published by my CEO, I would either 1. ignore it, as CEOs are often out of touch when it comes to actual day to day work or they need to jump on the AI train to show how visionary they are even if they are aware of the limitations, 2. start looking for a job, because honestly, today it's a letter like this, in 3 months, you get a negative performance review because you didn't send enough queries to Cursor.

This. And by any job I mean any job. McDonalds, book store, what have you. A good friend of mine dropped out of Harvard sophomore year. She found work at the COOP, then CVS, etc. It was definitely better than going back to an unstable and abusive environment while continuing to job hunt.
Daniel Mendelsohn the authour of this article, has a new translation of Odyssey which came out recently.
Seems like that already happened for industries susceptible for that. You don’t need ai to automate a factory. You could do that by 1950. Labor costs have been cheap elsewhere for a while too. Plenty of manufacturing already left for these reasons. What remains stateside probably has some sticking factor that is highly context specific and impossible to generalize.
Well, then something that made more sense, like the letter Z for zip code.
I was hoping someone would do this!

I have been researching/playing around with Macro-10 using the simh PDP-10 emulator just for fun recently. I have always been curious about the inner workings of the 8080 emulator Paul Allen developed for running this code on a "fake" Altair. Maybe this source code could provide some insight into how Micro-Soft went about getting to a fully working BASIC for the Altair step by step from the very beginning.
> I’m sure their board and executive team find the current administration repugnant.

Maybe personally, but these people (wealthy tech) elected Trump because he was "pro business" so their personal concern doesn't really matter as it held no power over their vote (only their wallet).
While I may be mistaken, but I don't believe that LLMs are trained on a large corpus of machine readable music representations, which would arguably be crucial to strong performance in common practice music theory. I would also surmise that most music theory related datasets largely arrive without musical representations altogether. A similar problem exists for many other fields, particularly mathematics, but it is much more profitable to invest the effort to span such representation gaps for them. I would not gauge LLM generality on music theory performance, when its niche representations are likely unavailable in training and it is widely perceived as having miniscule economic value.
I have no knowledge of DNG, what I was suggesting is that someone should devise a some kind of extensible, self-describing format that can be used in place of RAW without losing any sensor data as with JPEG/HEIC/etc.
Unclear if Trump would accept that, given (1) that these tariffs are being imposed even on countries without tariffs on US goods and (2) statements by other members of the admin: https://www.newsweek.com/vietnam-offer-remove-tariff-trump-t...
1M "on paper", no cash
It's hard to face this when fresh out of school, but one piece of advice I can offer is to network as much as you can. Talk to folks you know that graduated before you and have a job. Talk to professors who might have industry ties in their history. Talk to folks in the career center. Try to be as visible as you can. Yes, I know that seems trivial considering you don't have job experience, but even building relationships at school can pay off.

Those types of connections are CRITICAL in the age of scorched-earth AI centric hiring. I spent 9 months recently jobless after getting laid off, and its damned near impossible to get a job through the usual resume farm (LinkedIn job board and the like).

Also, look for jobs local to wherever you are that don't look all that glamorous. RTO is a big thing now, and smaller organizations struggle to hire locally without the brand recognition of the big guys. That might be your in for your first job.

And the biggest thing, keep your head up. Keep pushing. You just got a degree from an extremely difficult program, and you can hang your hat on that. The factors affecting the job market are not within your control, and your skills will outlast them.
That department -- customs and border enforcement -- needs to be ideologically pure for the next phase. They'll need to be able to rapidly judge new hires for culture-fit. Can you do the things that only make sense if your boss wants USA to be hated? Can you deftly talk that group of travelers into all unlocking their phones for imaging?
That'd be awesome if this thing could lane split! Imagine being stuck on the freeway in bumper-to-bumper traffic and riding between cars on this shouting "Yee-haw!" as you ride on by!
That entire article just sounds like a collection of every naysayer argument they could find, compiled into an authoritative-sounding essay on why doing nothing is better than doing some very cool proof-of-concept genetic editing tech. Are they just reflexively against tech these days? Because when the arguments they bring are so scattered and miscellaneous, it sure sounds like they're justifying a preexisting opposition to the idea.

Do they fail at achieving F500 status at a higher or lower rate than "startups"? Who then is delusional - those who have realizable visions, or the strivers who dream of unicorn-status and still fail.
Excel allows bare strings, so `"1/2" + 1` is a string with embedded quotation marks. So that's a third option for what to do.
> it will be something that is not an LLM

I think it will be very similar in architecture.

Artificial neural networks already are approximating how neurons in a brain work, it's just at a scale that's several orders of magnitude smaller.

Our limiting factor for reaching brain-like intelligence via ANN is probably more of a hardware limitation. We would need over 100 TB to store the weights for the neurons, not to mention the ridiculous amount of compute to run it.
Why would you favour "date plus a day" rather than "number plus a number"?

I agree Excel has to guess, and in isolation guessing that "1/2" should be parsed a date is not a terrible choice, and that parsing the individual components separately is simpler and more predictable than using the full context that it's about to be added to a number. But evaluating to 1.5 would raise few eyebrows.
The only real tech "freelancing", if we are to call it that, opportunities as it pertains to consumers is possibly in fixing someone's home computer/phone, and that is within the small set of things consumers are still willing to pay for. In fact, one's phone was explicitly mentioned. But it is unlikely that most "freelancers", within the tech sphere, are making a business out of that.

Maybe we all have a grandmother tossing a few bucks out here and there when she needs help. Is that what you mean?

But that's ignoring that freelancing itself is normally a business-to-business transaction by definition, so your assertion is a bit strange if we are to stick to general understandings. What is the pet definition you are trying to use here that should change our understanding?

> Apple has enough resources and global reach to basically select whoever they want to become president.

People keep taking this echochamber idea to insane conclusions. But it doesn't seem borne out in reality.
This is really unwise of Trump.

For whatever reason, Trump is taking the stance that China must immediately accept these tariffs without retaliation. But politically, Xi cannot be seen as submitting to Trump's pressure. So either China gives, or Trump gives, or neither gives and China is seen as openly defying Trump. Only one of those is a "win" from Trump's perspective, and it's the one that will never happen.
Sounds like it's more complicated than it appears at first glance.

Indeed! As I just wrote in another comment on this page, Microsoft Outlook 2003 used CRC32 to "hash" the personal folder (.PST) passwords. Since CRC32 isn't a cryptographic hash, it was trivial to generate a collision and access someone else's Outlook personal folder. This flaw persisted until at least 2006!

Llamafile could certainly be released without the GPU binaries included by default and it would slim down the size tremendously.

The extra 70MiB is that the CUDA binaries for LocalScore are built with CuBLAS and for more generations of NVIDIA architectures (sm60->sm120), whereas Llamafile is built with TinyBLAS and for just a few generations in particular

What an exciting time for the industry. Most of the companies are run by 20 or 30 somethings. Nobody has a plan for success. Everything is poised to explode once someone, anyone, figures out how to deliver product at scale. This also makes it clear how the software guys got so big so fast: making new copies of software is trivial compared to hardware manufacturing.

Many student loans can be put on basically indefinite hold via income based repayment (if you make little enough, your minimum payment is zero, but the interest keeps accruing). This gives you some flexibility to take any job you can find, even something that doesn't require a degree.

You might also look into trades, depending on your engineering specialty. A machinist with a MechEng degree from MIT or a millwright with something related to manufacturing will be extremely valuable, especially if you're willing to move where the work is.

I don't think I agree, entirely.

The problem is that up until _very_ recently, it's been possible to get LLMs to generate interesting and exciting results (as a result of all the API documentation and codebases they've inhaled), but it's been very hard to make that usable. I think we need to be able to control the output format of the LLMs in a better way before we can work on what's in the output. I don't konw if MCP is the actual solution to that, but it's certainly an attempt at it...
