> The biggest challenge I found reading Vargas Llosa is that section and chapter breaks tend to be infrequent giving fewer opportunities to pause while reading.

I don't mean to be snarky, but, seriously, can't you just pause whenever you want? I understand that the lack of breaks mean that the book doesn't define natural points to pause, but it still seems that one can impose such breaks oneself.
Just a few weeks ago, I met a CTO that got the company to a series A level of revenue by building the whole product over two years. Was fired by the CEO, who brought on new investors, recapped the equity table, and drove his option value to almost nothing.

The guy is now a senior engineer at a decent company, but effectively had 10+ million of value he created lifted from his hands.

These stories are extremely common

Even "no filing" won't get you in prison if you were not aware that you weren't filing. Happened to me once for state taxes, specifically. A lot of us were remote and didn't realize the company we were working for had messed up and not reported anyone's income to the state.

That said, yes, if you are attempting active fraud, then you are doing more than just making mistakes on your taxes.
I'm pretty certain that's where the Kaiju are.
* Thou shalt not kill

* Thou shalt not steal

* Thou shalt not bear false witness

* Thou shalt not covet

Seems pretty clear to me. No doubt, though, other rules and interpretations have arisen over the centuries to essentially rewrite these rules — similar to how United States courts have taken the Constitution (particularly the first, second, and fourth amendments) and interpreted many rules out of existence.
No, intrusive would be (note: no pointers in user_data_t):

typedef struct { node_t* next } node_t;

typedef struct { ... } payload_t;

typedef struct {
node_t node;
payload_t payload;
} user_data_t;

...and if you want user_data_t to be included into multiple lists:

typedef struct {
node_t list1_node;
node_t list2_node;
node_t list3_node;
payload_t payload;
} user_data_t;

...of course in C now it gets tricky to get to the start of user_data_t given a pointer to `list3_node`, but that's where @fieldParentPtr comes in.

The advantage versus your extrusive example is that the payload doesn't need to be referenced through a pointer, which drastically simplifies lifetime tracking / memory management.

> Seems exactly the motivation for the various charges against Trump.

I think that you can conspiracize both, or regard both as normal judicial process, but, if you say that it's just fair play against Lula and conspiracy against Trump, then I think that you are just aiming the hypocrisy in the other direction.

If you give it access to the internet ... it can basically do anything, exfil all your code, receive malicious instructions. The blast radius (presuming it doesn't get out of your sandbox) is limited to loss of whatever your put in (source code) and theft of resources (running a coinminer, host phishing attacks, etc ...). As you say, you can limit things to trusted websites which helps .. but even then, if you trust, say github, anyone can host malicious instructions. The risk tradeoffs (likelihood of of hitting malicious instruction, vs productivity benefit) might nevertheless be worth it ... not to much targetted maliciousness in wild yet. And just a bit more gaurdrailing and logging can go a long way.

How much of, especially "higher level cognition" like language, is encoded genetically is highly controversial and the thinking/pendulum in last decade or two has shifted substantially towards only general mechanisms being innate. E.g. the cortex may be in an essentially "random state" prior to getting input.
This is true for the kind of programmin most people do. Linked Lists make no sense in JS, Python, Rust, etc. But they are without a doubt still an incredibly useful pattern with unmatched performance characteristics. Especially if you're trying to be memory efficient. It's a systems programming pattern, rarely useful if you're just a web developer.

But then again... I never thought I'd need to know music waveform theory while I was watching the magic school bus as a kid... Turns out that was incredibly useful when I needed to implement a music note generator for a VoIP client... You never know when something might actually be really useful.
LLMs are already unpredictable in their responses which adds to the problem: you might test your system against a potential prompt injection three times and observe it resist the attack: an attacker might try another hundred times and have one of their attempts work.

Those 2019 Mac Pros are never going to go down that low.

- They're forever going to be the fastest Intel Macs, which makes them highly desirable.

- The Mac Pro simply does not sell at volume anymore, unlike the Power Mac G4 which did sell quite well to regular consumers. So they're quite rare.

- Everybody in the market for a Mac Pro knew the Apple Silicon transition was right around the corner, so they probably sold even less than we think. Even rarer.

- The iMac Pro had been out for a little while when those came out. Most people who needed Pro hardware had probably bought an iMac Pro. Even rarer still.

No joke, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple sold less than half a million of those 2019 Intel Mac Pros.
MCP is built on JSON-RPC 2.0. JSON-RPC 2.0 is a super lightweight, stateless protocol that lets a client and a server talk to each other using plain old JSON. It’s not tied to HTTP, but it often rides on it. It’s like the chill cousin of REST: no verbs, no URL gymnastics—just methods and parameters, passed as structured JSON.

MCP calls itself a “protocol,” but let’s be honest—it’s a framework description wrapped in protocol cosplay. Real protocols define message formats and transmission semantics across transport layers. JSON-RPC, for example, is dead simple, dead portable, and works no matter who implements it. MCP, on the other hand, bundles prompt templates, session logic, SDK-specific behaviors, and application conventions—all under the same umbrella.

As an example, I evidently need to install something called "uv", using a piped script pulled in from the Internet, to "run" the tool, which is done by putting this into a config file for Claude Desktop (which then completely hosed my Claude Desktop):

{
"mcpServers": {
"weather": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--with",
"fastmcp",
"fastmcp",
"run",
"C:\\Users\\kord\\Code\\mcptest\\weather.py"
]
}
}
}

They (the exuberant authors) do mention transport—stdio and HTTP with SSE—but that just highlights the confusion here we are seeing. A real protocol doesn’t care how it’s transported, or it defines the transport clearly. MCP tries to do both and ends up muddying the boundaries. And the auth situation? It waves toward OAuth2.1, but offers almost zero clarity on implementation, trust delegation, or actual enforcement. It’s a rats nest waiting to unravel once people start pushing for real-world deployments that involve state, identity, or external APIs with rate limits and abuse vectors.

This feels like yet another centralized spec written for one ecosystem (TypeScript AI crap), claiming universality without earning it.

And let’s talk about streaming vs formatting while we’re at it. MCP handwaves over the reality that content coming in from a stream (like SSE) has totally different requirements than a local response. When you’re streaming partials from a model and interleaving tool calls, you need a very well-defined contract for how to chunk, format, and parse responses—especially when tools return mid-stream or you’re trying to do anything interactive.

Right now, only a few clients are actually supported (Anthropic’s Claude, Copilot, OpenAI, and a couple local LLM projects). But that’s not a bug—it’s the feature. The clients are where the value capture is. If you can enforce that tools, prompts, and context management only work smoothly inside your shell, you keep devs and users corralled inside your experience. This isn’t open protocol territory; it’s marketing. Dev marketing dressed up as protocol design. Give them a “standard” so they don’t ask questions, then upsell them on hosted toolchains, orchestrators, and AI-native IDEs later. The LLM is the bait. The client is the business.

And yes, Claude helped write this, but it's exactly what I would say if I had an hour to type it out clearly.
Remember when all hyperlinks were underlined. But it was decided that wasn't pretty enough.

Last time I checked gas pipelines went form Russia to Germany, not to the US, and gas money was flowing from EU to Russia not from the US. And Vladimir Putin attended weddings of Austrian politicians, not American ones. And Austrian and German politicians, not American politicians, received high ranking jobs in Russian oil & gas companies at the end of their political mandates.

So who's the one doing the Russian appreciation here, in practice I mean, not in virtue signaling?
Oo? It should have been no issue at all for you to get this money.

Holy shit, you're right - it does seem reasonable to see this one little story as a valid critique/indictment of US industrial policy!
Read the first line of the article:

> Some engineers think it’s a virtue to remain non-committal in technical discussions.

I'm non-committal because I don't care where we eat unless there is a constraint.
I appreciate your points, and you correctly assume that I'm not treating naturality as an intrinsic good.

You may already appreciate this point, but I think that even without having a modern example of a truly equal society we can reason about what it might be like. Specifically I believe that it's been well argued (though I don't have a reference to hand) that wealth equality is an unstable equilibrium. It should follow from the tendency of inequality exacerbate itself, as you mention.

Of course you can make a the equilibrium stable with a sufficient restoring force, but I haven't been convinced that such a thing is possible. I would be glad to hear ideas on that though (maybe income/wealth tax with negative rates below the average and then a sharp increase?).
Kinda like some HN posters write the way they think academics talk?
BCP events. This makes so much sense. At a previous mega corp I was always confused why such emphasis was made on BCPs for war or natural disaster scenarios which are so rare compared to how much time was spent on the plans. Literally months later we had massive layoffs. The layoff was the (un)natural disaster they were preparing for!
Here I thought they used the sqlite DB for next token prediction.

Thank you, that answers all my questions.
That all depends on how much time you have. Also, WordPress and other software create RSS feeds by default, so many people don't even know their website has a feed.
Damn, that's handy. I now wonder how much trouble making a CSI driver that does this would be for backporting to the 1.2x clusters (since I don't think that kubernetes does backports for anything)
While the manner of layoff, role of layoff and person to lay off all seem foolish, profits do not mean that layoffs are a bad idea. You should hire people you need and if you want to good in the world, donate to the most effective charities (in QALYs/£).
It is a nicer Java and works really well as a pure backend language.
I can't speak to what audiences find boring now -- I know that I watched it as a kid when my attention span was not at its peak, and I found the pacing to be just fine. (I did see the much-panned version with the narration first.)

I've re-watched it quite a few times and find new things to enjoy each time. The aesthetic is hugely influential, but it also has a fantastic cast and superb acting. The soundtrack is also perfect.

The love story between Deckard and Rachel is ham-fisted, I will grant that, and if I were giving notes I'd say we need to see more of the backstory for the replicants. But IMO it succeeds far better than the book.
WRT GPC, yes. We treat GPC as a "essential only" choice, and don't show you a banner. We treat DNT (Do Not Track) the same way, but its legal standing seems a lot less clear, especially due to the hijinks Microsoft did.

And GPC is not experimental: if you don't respect it, you're in violation of California's CCPA/CPRA law [1]. It's likely that other states will fall in line here as well.

Given the number of ads and overall feel of the site it definitely looks like an AI powered ad sense billboard.

It's an implementation detail. In theory, it should be continuous.
I don't even trust myself, why would anyone trust a tool? This is important because not trusting myself means I will set up loads of static tools - including security scanners, which Microsoft and Github are also actively promoting people use - that should also scan AI generated code for vulnerabilities.

These tools should definitely flag up the non-explicit use of hidden characters, amongst other things.

In a shock, accepted the mutual termination agreement. No severance, access cut to email/chat.

Sorry, but I simply don't agree. You're overgeneralizing again with "everyone thinks..." but no, you will trivially find folks who believe that someone (as an example) who murders or facilitates the murder of innocent people does not deserve sympathy when they suffer the consequences of their actions.

It is not true that all rational people believe that all people deserve sympathy for all causes of suffering.

Meilisearch has been production-ready since v1.0. I made it in Rust to ensure it stays production-ready for years and years. Memory-safe languages are here to replace unsafe ones like C++ and reduce the number of breaches you expose in production.

This made me think: what if my little utility assistant program that I have, similar to your Stevens, had access to a mailbox?

I've got a little utility program that I can tell to get the weather or run common commands unique to my system. It's handy, and I can even cron it to run things regularly, if I'd like.

If it had its own email box, I can send it information, it could use AI to parse that info, and possibly send email back, or a new message. Now, I've got something really useful. It would parse the email, add it to whatever internal store it has, and delete the message, without screwing up my own email box.

Thanks for the insight.
