> My issue is whit extremists from all sides, I can't complain on reddit about Israel crimes without getting accused of supporting Hamas, or nazis or stuff like that.

I have an issue with extremists too.

> What I see from pro-Israel gov accounts is bullshit like 1 we have video of war crimes, like killing red cross 2 pro Israel bots(I told you the clues ) come and deny the news is real,video appears so deny the video is real, then they claim that for sure there must have been some weapons or Hamas leader hiding there.

I'm sure there are plenty of bots/trolls/whatever. There are also a lot of genuine people who are pro-Israelis who will reflexively just not believe any video or reporting at first. It's unfortunately true that there have been many cases of bias against Israel and misreporting; but it's also true (and frankly undeniable) that war crimes have been committed by Israel.

This goes the other way - lots of pro-Palestine (or just anti-Israel) people will just answer any statement made by Israel with "Zionists always lie" or various memes to that effect.

I wish I were as confident as you that these are all bots; I think my (far more pessimistic) belief is true though, that many of these are real people just posting reflexively without thinking anything through.

> Also what is your opinion on Trump and Israel cleaning up Gaza of Palestinians and making building soem comercial crap there? Genocide does not always mean killings.

First, genocide does mean killing, or at least acting to make a population disappear via other means. And for the record, I completely disagree with categorizing the Gaza war as a genocide. It's a horrible war, but not at all a genocide, by any definition that any real person uses.

Their plan could be ethnic cleansing, depending on whether the eventual plan is to forcibly remove Gazans from Gaza, or whether it's to allow Gazans to leave on a voluntary basis. Of course, I don't think there's any way for Gazans who choose now to be doing it voluntarily - since Israel has destroyed much of the physical infrastructure of Gaza, and the war is still raging.

Needless to say (or maybe not needless nowadays), I'm against ethnic cleansing. I think the morally correct thing is for Israel to allow any Gazan that wants to leave for the duration of the war to do so, but make real assurances that they will be allowed to come back at the end of the war. That way the war could truly be against Hamas, and not against the Gazan population that is living through hell right now.

This is what happens in every other conflict btw - the world urges the combatants to allow civilians to flee and they become refugees, hopefully returning one day to their home.

Other than that, I think that long term, Hamas must be removed from power, and unfortunately given the current reality, no one is going to do that except for Israel. Until Hamas loses power, the Gazan population will continue to suffer, and Israel will continue to be attacked, as Hamas has made clear. I don't know who could plausibly rule afterwards, probably the PA, and of course I support an eventual two-state solution to the conflict.
Plenty of people type the double-dash in its place —- and many autocorrect tools will just replace that with a proper em-dash character.

Apparently the way I was taught to write is how LLMs write. I’m really not looking forward to my humanity being denied on a regular basis as a result.
The first TPU (Seastar) was designed, tested, and deployed in 15 months: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.04760

Maybe publicly was not the right word. What I really meant is that the nominal 145% rate will remain in effect, so he can continue to pretend that the tariffs are still there and still hurting China, while he makes "minor adjustments" to protect American businesses.
So will the government mandate that 50% of stay at home parents be men?

Because as the other poster pointed out, if you push men out of the workplace and out of family life (by favoring custody for women) you just end up with a bunch of unemployed idle men, which is a recipe for revolution.

And if 50/50 is the goal, where is the government push for more men in places where they're underrepresented, like university students, nurses, teachers?
Conversely, "why does my hand-written CSV parser only support one of the 423 known variants of CSV, and it isn't the one our customer sent us yesterday?"

You kind of have a point behind dependency hell, but the flip side is that one needn't become an expert on universal CSV parsing just to have a prayer of opening them successfully.

hard to attribute to competence what you can attribute to malice. just as law firms are being squeezed for $600 million of services through extortion, this is Mafia mentality as well where first something is held hostage and then negotiated for. given the parties involved, I would even assume that there is personal benefits staked in this, and lots of insider trading of course
The catalog is a reminder of a time when the prime motive power for moving material was a human. Thus, the large number of different shovels(for different materials and situations,) with a human interface (i.e., the handle.)
Ames was just one of many firms making shovels. Often these were local to a region since transportation costs added excessive costs (unless the target market had no competing shovel makers, say on the frontier.)
The same situation exists for the ax. Look up "vintage ax brands." At one time there were many ax makers, mostly regional, because the ax was still a common tool for shaping wood, again, with the motive power being a human.

In modern times most of this type of work is done by a machine. Possibly human run but a machine so trench digger, auger, backhoe, etc.. (or with the ax, a sawsall, circular saw, chainsaw, etc..) With the result being there are a few shovels for sale in, say, Home Depot, most made in China, and, although most construction companies and landscapers have some shovels they're mostly for situations where a machine can't reach or can't do a fine enough job.
I refer to what political scientists write about the subject.

Illiberal democracy (aka electoral authoritarianism, competitive authoritarianism, or soft authoritarianism) is a system with democratic institutions that don't work properly. Opposition can still win but it's not a fair game.

>And if there is a significant difference, what stops one becoming the other?

People. For example, Ukraine was illiberal democracy and Orange Revolution 2004 changed that. Poland was slipping badly but 2023 Polish protests changed things.

Putin started with illiberal democracy and slipped into pure authoritarian eventually, because Russians can't get their shit together.
30% of Americans would rather have nothing than see people who they consider undesirables have anything.
I’ve seen people use this argument, but I think it fails to consider the complexity of the situation.

The moment a company capitulates as the result of murder, they’ve now incentivized more murder.

Such attacks on the people running these companies can only impede change I think by forcing companies to become more entrenched in their existing practices.

The whole thing strikes me as a bunch of nepobaby/fake academic/banker bro advisors who have no idea how the physical world works. As much as I think Musk is a bad actor at this point, talking to him about supply chains would have highlighted how insane this whole plan was from day 1.

My dad is a retired EE who dealt with the 90s offshoring wave and described the process of spinning up offshore production with a new supplier/factor/product as a 1-2 year process.

Now imagine every producer with China exposure trying to do this at the same time dealing with the same limited ex-China options? Nothing was happening in the 90 day pause, let alone before the 2026 midterms or before the end of his reign in 2028.

Complete chaos for American companies who are left with no good options other than try to wait it out, and pass on excess cost to consumers in interim.
Why is don't be evil relevant here? If Google never had that motto would you care less? It's not even factual that they dropped it from the code of conduct. It was just moved to the end rather than at the beginning. Moving it wasn't some magical event that signaled a change in Google's ethical values. Do the right thing was just seen as less ambiguous and placed more prominently.

As others have stated, being able to see that the appliance is phoning home or not is trivial. No one who is in the market for this won't ensure it meets some rigurous bar.

Not a determining factor. Genocide is the commission of one of the five prohibited acts with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, any national, ethnical, racial or religious group.
> make health insurance like buying car insurance ("free market")

This option doesn't work because healthcare can't be a free market. Car insurance companies have to compete not only with each other but with alternatives like not owning a car at all. There is no alternative to being alive, so health insurance companies can effortlessly collude to raise prices across the industry knowing that they have the most captive customer base possible.
Banking as well, this is the kind of offering they've been looking for a while. Google just saw the demand decided to jump in while OpenAI and Anthropic probably calculated they don't have the manpower to deal with the support for this.
One of the things I've noticed is that there is a huge discrepancy between people who can "bounce back" from someone behaving inappropriately to them when they are in a vulnerable position. People who are able to go "yeah fuck you too buddy, anyways onto the next thing" are way more able to handle things. People who end up dwelling on one person who did something bad years ago and are unable to let go of that pain end up closing themselves off for fear of exacerbating it.

In my first reading your original reply sounded rude. After reading this, it sounds you are relating with the author and airing your frustration from a similar experience.

I'm off to do some coding with natural language.
They "lost from a position of strength" in that they had they had the most public-cloud like data centers and started thinking about selling that later than they should have. Bard/Gemini started later than chatgpt , but there's not really a moat for this LLM stuff, and Google started moving a lot earlier relative to GCP vs Amazon.

They've got the cash, the people, and the infrastructure to do things faster than the others going forward, which is a much bigger deal IMO than having millions more users right now. Most people still aren't using LLMs that often, switching is easy, and Google has the most obvious entry points with billion+ users with google.com, YouTube, gmail, chrome, android, etc.
It seems like it would be rare, though.

An LLM might hallucinate the wrong permissions, but they're going to be plausible guesses.

It's extremely unlikely to hallucinate full network access for a module that has nothing to do with networking.
The corruption is the plan. The tariffs are the boot on everyone's neck. Carve outs based on friend, foe, and bribes adjust the pressure. This will be on-going and capricious.
It's already made some difference to how the companies are behaving - Deepmind doing quite a lot of work on protein folding and now protein drug interactions, OpenAI under Altman tying to do the startup max the money raised and user count thing.

Rust to C? Why would someone do that. Just write C.. if you can figure rust out you surely can figure C out and be proficient.
A defeatist mindset. The point is to make money, then invest in making more.

For example my new starlite linux tablet is awesome and star is making money hand over fist. Because they finally built a good one and stopped making excuses. They develop firmware with coreboot and upstream patches to Linux.

That’s what a successful business is, you invest then reap the rewards.
I agree the market for 10% better AI isn’t that great but the cost to get there is. An 80% as good model at 10% or even 5% the cost will win every time in the current environment. Most businesses don’t even have a clear use case for AI they just use it because the competition is and there is a FOMO effect

I wouldn't count on that. The job market is really bad.
> One of the main reason LLMs are unintuitive and difficult to use is that you have to learn how to get useful results out of fundamentally unreliable technology.

Name literally any other technology that works this way.

> Guide dogs, sniffer dogs, falconry...

Guide dogs are an imperfect solution to an actual problem: the inability for people to see. And dogs respond to training far more reliably than LLMs respond to prompts.

Sniffer dogs are at least in part bullshit and have been shown in many studies to respond to the subtle cues of their handlers far more reliably than anything they actually smell. And the best of part of them is they also (completely outside their own control mind you) ruin lives when falsely detecting drugs on cars that look a way the officer handling them thinks means they have drugs inside.

And falconry is a hobby.
Rust doesn't have static initialisers for complex objects; it has lazy initialisers in the standard library that run when they're first requested, but there's no way to statically initialise any object more complex than a primitive: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/static-items.html#...
I wish it were more common for open source licenses to have an attribution clause, like Apache does with its (optional) NOTICE files. When you put years of effort into a work, you deserve credit for it.

Edit: Actually, using a library via a package manager would likely be considered "linking" and not a Derivative Work, so I don't think even Apache's clause would apply in many cases.
A charitable interpretation would be that they consider justice (consequences that fit the choices one makes) more important than ownership of material things

..and frankly they’re not wrong. No unjust system can maintain itself in the long term, the choice is “personal sacrifice” or “destroy everything” and it’s quite easy to make

Insider trading laws applies to ALL. Cheering on politicians from Trump to Pelosi that you pay your taxes to, only for them to violate insider trading laws is insane.

That means, we investigate and go after everyone; from president to congressperson.

No exceptions.
Are you confusing the budget deficit with the trade deficit? Is that what all this is about?

I spend far more on restaurants, household services, and vehicle maintenance than those companies pay me. I have a massive trade imbalance with those companies.

But that has nothing to do with whether my household budget is balanced.

Do people really think that making goods more expensive for consumers will somehow produce the funds to support even greater tax cuts for billionaires?

The thing is Chinese LLMs aren't foreign to ad focused either, like those from Alibaba, Tencent or Bytedance. Now a North Korea's model may be what you want.
False, you said:

> only the richest companies getting exemptions

…when the reality is that certain classes of goods were exempted. You reiterated the clickbaity headline.

Products like the Librem phone have exceptions. Is Purism one of the richest companies?
Almost.

Stop having employer provided insurance / benefits; just tax and then provide services. No more billing department. Just single payer (we the people) get what a patient needs healthcare.
The number of dependencies does not indicate how bloated your app is. Package managers actually reduce bloat because your dependencies can have shared dependencies. The reason C programs may seem lightweight is because their number of dependencies is low, but each dependency is actually super fat, and they tend to link dynamically.
And cargo-culting is in fact exactly what happens when people act as LLM's.
The proof is supplied by the article: "Multiple independent sources inside Meta confirmed the authenticity of the information provided by the whistleblowers. The data also show that Meta removed over 90,000 posts to comply with TDRs submitted by the Israeli government in an average of 30 seconds." 90k take-down requests in 18 months is quite a lot.
One danger is that all the cheap Chinese crap will be redirected at Europe. It does have to upside of cheaper goods for Europe overall, which is fine for everything we don't make and which is overall adding value. The risk is that we also get all cheap plastic junk, unless EU regulations can keep it out environmental concerns.
I will read further into the project just off the bat I don’t get the point. Good luck it looks quite extensive :)

Because of the niceties of Rust, combined with the widespread compatibility and architecture support of gcc / C compilers in general?

Rust is a modern language, with package management, streamlined integrated build/testing tools, much less cruft, and lots of high-level features and syntax that people actually like. C is neat but complex codebases benefit from modern languages that help in building robust abstractions while still maintaining the speed of C. Not to mention, of course, the borrow checker and memory safety.
User friendliness wise nothing beats Grok3 because it warns that a pro should be consulted but usually still gives you an answer, mostly even a good one. OpenAi and bigG are strongly biased and refuse to go into anything remotely controversial and take strong don't sue me stance over advocating the user's responsibility.

Hi — I’m the security firm CEO mentioned, though I wear a few other hats too: I’ve been maintaining open source projects for over a decade (some with 100s of millions of npm downloads), and I taught Stanford’s web security course (https://cs253.stanford.edu).

Totally understand the skepticism. It’s easy to assume commercial motives are always front and center. But in this case, the company actually came after the problem. I’ve been deep in this space for a long time, and eventually it felt like the best way to make progress was to build something focused on it full-time.
The average of the internet is heavily skewed towards the mediocre side.
I don't think it's a bad idea, but currently packages aren't written with adversarial packages in mind. E.g. requests in Python should have network access, but probably not if it's called from a sandboxed package, but you might be able to trick certain packages into calling functions for you without having your package in the call stack (e.g. asyncio event loop or Thread). I think any serious attempt would get pushback from library authors.

Also it's hard to argue against hard process isolation. Specter et al are much easier to defend against at process boundaries. It's probably higher value to make it easier to put sub modules into their own sandboxed processes.
> And are only large corporations expected to play? I import shopping bags from Chinese manufacturers from my store, like millions of other small businesses do. What exactly are we supposed to offer Trump?

You'll eventually be buying them, for more than you pay now but less than the imported price, from a large US company that bribed whoever Dear Leader is at the time, for exemptions.
