It is easier to understand their thinking when you combine each pair of demands: what they want is reversals, they've just split each into two steps because they think that will be more palatable. It makes it easier to sell to their own base certainly, because they can concentrate on whichever half has the most emotive effect in any given speech, and easier for their base to parrot: they just repeat the half they want and don't need to think about the other.

The end to current diversity policies and the start of others combined is a demand for u-turn: stop allowing the things we don't like, start allowing the things you were stopping.

Same for speech: stop auditing the speech we want to say, start auditing the speech you were previously allowing.

And so on.

In the minds of the administration it makes sense, because they think of each item separately where there is conflict and together where there is not. Such cognitive dissonance seems to be their natural state of mind, the seem to seek it.

Much like their cries of “but what about tolerance?!”¹ when you mention punching nazis. They want the complete about-turn: LBTQ out, racism/sexism/phobias in. You are supposed to tolerate what they want you to tolerate, and little or nothing else.

If you use the PPP adjusted per capita GDP as a comparison metric the US stands about 37% higher than the EU. Considering the baseline tariff of 10% and the substantially higher tariffs for important trading partners the US targets, it may actually even out.

The plane itself isn’t the only cost of shipping. Even sending a letter is more expensive, and there’s no plane involved. You have to pick it up, bring it to the airport, and deliver it to the door from the destination airport.

>A woman named Margaret Howe Lovatt lived full-time with the Dolphins attempting to learn a shared language between them.

She also had sex with a male dolphin called Peter.

>He would take LSD and place himself in the tank and believed he was psychically communicating with the Dolphins.

He eventually came to believe he was communicating with a cosmic entity called ECCO (Earth Coincidence Control Office). The story of the Sega game "Ecco the Dolphin" [1] is a tongue-in-cheek reference to this. I recommend watching the Atrocity Guide episode on John C. Lily and his dolphin "science" [2]. It's on par with The Men Who Stare at Goats (the non-fiction book [3], not the movie).

Can we say that thermal entropy is more like a theoretical or statistical concept and not easy to measure?

Grok:

Yes, thermal entropy is largely a theoretical and statistical concept, rooted in the probabilistic behavior of particles in a system, as described by statistical mechanics. It quantifies disorder or the number of possible microstates, which isn't directly measurable like temperature or pressure. Measuring entropy typically involves indirect methods, such as calculating changes based on heat transfer and temperature (e.g., ΔS = q/T for reversible processes), but these rely on idealized assumptions and precise conditions, making direct measurement challenging in practice.

I don't believe there's any major harm in using Github for most projects.

Maintaining my own servers and chasing ideological purity doesn't improve my project. Any time I dedicate to setting up infrastructure is time I'm not dedicating to making the code better.

The nature of Git means Microsoft can't really do much harm. Every developer and contributor has a copy of the repo, should the worst happen setting up home elsewhere isn't that difficult. But until it is, why spend time on it?
Thanks! Glad identify-as makes sense. Your prior research was definitely valuable context, appreciate you putting that out there.

Checked out mcp-scan yesterday, nice work! Good to see more tools emerging for MCP security. Feels like these kinds of tools are essential right now for highlighting the risks. Long term, hopefully the insights gained push the protocol itself, or the big wrappers like Claude/Cursor, towards building in more robust, integrated verification deeper down as the ecosystem matures.

It very much is, because stocks don't start at zero and your entry point will also not be zero. You can be deep in the red long before the stock gets anywhere close to zero. Even when a stock hits zero it doesn't always mean something useful, look at the Hertz bankruptcy for a good example. As far as stocks are concerned, zero is arbitrary and pretty universally a useless reference point.

>There are objective measures like quantity of publications, quality of the journals published in, # of citations, awards won, books published, things like that

None of these are objective measures of quality.

1. The more papers you write the more likely you'll be published more. This is connected to time and desire.

2. Judging yhe quality of a journal is subjective therefore can't be used as an objective measurement for something else

3. If you write a paper that more people have access to, is about a more popular subject, is the only paper for a subject, or is published in more popular journals it would increase your citations outside of the paper quality.

4. Awards are a subjective judgement

Of course all of these increase the probability of quality but it's not a guarantee.

> for example, they have not published at all.

I don't think anyone going for a position as a professor hasn't published since most PHds require it. This point probably adds more weight but I think it would be rare between candidates for job.
They all are. That doesn't mean they don't tell their vendors what to produce at what price. That's the business model of Chinese fast fashion after all.
The people in the administration were not admitted to their universities based on merits, they paid to get in and they paid for their degree. This is especially true for POTUS who holds an entirely fake degree bought and paid for by his father.

>I'm telling you there are cases where PhD candidates with zero publications, people who have not even finished and defended their dissertation yet, are hired for tenure-track positions over other candidates who have had their degree for several years, published in top journals, won highly competitive fellowships, etc, because universities want someone of a particular race. It's not subtle.

Give me examples then because how could you know this?
You really expect that kind of support from something ahipped across the globe for peanuts? Ali/Temu and the kind serve specific purposes and they do it well.

I find reviews on those sites still useful, and at least on Ali there are a fair number of negative ones as well. Users tell if a specific part works with Home Assistant or zigbee2mqt.

It will be reduced significantly, but I wouldn't expect it to actually break even for hundreds of years atleast, if then. Some material is always going to keep getting buried deeper and deeper except for a few areas prone to very high levels of erosion.

> I'm more concerned with YouTube owning all of social video. Movies are on a dozen streamers. Social stuff is on Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, and X. But video essays, independent animation, educational content, cultural critiques, music, video podcasts, trailers, gameplay, research, news - anything long form, serious, interesting - it's all trapped on YouTube as the only distribution platform. And they'll keep getting bigger with no possible alternative due to network effects.

Yes, but: despite all of us adblocking them, this is all supported by their ad revenue.

The discovery effect is simply too powerful. I can't really see a way out of this because people are not going to go back to paying for media. Possibly the only way is something like the increasing control of social media from the EU forcing a separate EU Youtube, which might include things like the French TV rules forcing a certain amount of content to be in French, plus control over foreign disinformation influencers.

(you know what the only other social video platforms are with millions of users? Bilibili, xiaohungshu etc.)
Twitch streamers seem to be fine with the 10-60 second latency Twitch adds, depending on how bad their network is performing. Requirements will differ per industry but I don't think latency is a killer necessarily.
Obviously. This is just to illustrate that what the "real cost" is is not as obvious as what some comments suggest and that it is likely much lower.
But its not really p2p in the sense the original poster meant (as in its not an overlay network). Its p2p in the sense that tcp/ip is p2p, not in the sense that bit torrent is.

We have laws, yes.
Same here, 2.5 Pro is very good at coding. But it’s also cocky and blames everything but itself for something not working. Eg “the linter must be wrong you should reinstall it”, “looks to be a problem with the Go compiler”, “this function HAS to exist, that’s weird that we’re getting an error”

And it often just stops like “ok this is still not working. You fix it and tell me when it’s done so I can continue”.

But for coding: Gemini Pro 2.5 > Sonnet 3.5 > Sonnet 3.7
It does take considerable energy to capture and store that carbon when it is only a small fraction of the atmosphere. Trees may not be as energy efficient as us building a dedicated process for it, but growing trees is basically free and it isn't like we are lacking land area to do so. Farmland utilization has been dropping for many decades all across the globe, and even if that didn't happen we would still be very far from running out of suitable tree growing land since trees can grow everywhere but the harshest deserts.

I don't think people are appreciating the nuance of what you're saying. Most of what you are saying isn't accurate for netflix style streaming, which would actually be more aptly called "video on demand", but is very applicable to "live streaming" in the sense of live sporting events or news broadcasts.

Video-on-demand is perfectly implementable on top of BitTorrent. As you say, there are some latency pitfalls you'll have to avoid, but that's nothing you can't hack yourself out of.

Livestreaming is a different beast. As you say, the problem with livestreaming is that everyone needs the same content at the same time. If I spend 200ms downloading the next 500ms worth of content, then there's nobody to share it with, they all spent the 200ms doing the same. BitTorrent relies on the time shift that is allowed between me downloading the content and you requesting it. If you request it before I've got it, well I can't fulfil that request, only the guy I intend to get it from can.

If you wanted to implement something like that, you would probably pick a tree of seeders where the protocol would pick a subset of trusted nodes that it would upload the content to before then allowing them to seed it, and the have them doing the same recursively.

That would obviously introduce a bunch of complexity and latency, and would very much not be BitTorrent anymore.
There is no "intelligence" in LLMs; they're text predictors. As far as I can tell the whole LLM technology has limited applications in entertainment and that's about it. "Hallucinations" (even that term is problematic, as it suggests there's an actual consciousness/person, or the seed of one, there) as well as other "failures" - in fact features inherent to how the tech works - make it irrelevant for basically all other use cases.

Tech as an industry already had an atrocious reputation but the moment the insanely stupid "AI" bubble pops I suspect it'll get much worse. Ultimately it's pretty deserved, though. At this point the bullshit is so strong one almost wishes for a new AI winter.

The "kind of support" they say they expect is the ability to leave a negative review. That doesn't seem too extreme of an expectation honestly. The only reason support came into the picture is that Temu redirected them to support.

The Bible, like any “real” mythology is full of inconsistencies and contradictions and unanswered questions. In contrast, a literary “mythology” created by a single author can be logically and tonaly consistent.

I think Tolkien appeals to people because it has the feel of mythology, legend and ancient history, but still is a literary creation which satifies modern need for logic and modern morality.

> When Facebook acquired it, Instagram was a photo sharing app that had 13 employees.

Sure, but it was a serious threat to Facebook with hordes of especially younger people moving away from FB in favor of more activity on Instagram, which at that time had evolved from "just" a photo making/sharing app to a social network.
If everybody starts at the start then it will be very poorly seeded when everybody wants it, before the being well seeded right when nobody needs it.
The difference with VB or any RAD is AI generates so much code that a human won’t be able to maintain it manually. Like, 3 months into the vibe-coded project you discover there is a concurrency issue. But it is now all over the place in hundreds variations. How do you even fix it?
> If a wifi password is required to make full use of the device, I will return it.

By that logic, you will not buy any "smart" devices

A camera doorbell, in your example, need wifi password so that it can stream video.

A smart lightbuld need wifi connection to change brightness or color.

Without wifi connection, it will lose a part of functionality

It is not a waste.

(1)
It is still an interesting topic, because in this case, it has world-wide consequences.

(2)
Many of the problems of the world can only be solved if people are convinced that those are important problems. You need to fix people's closest problems first, like their bread and perceived security. Each individual has just one life, I wouldn't say it's selfish to want an OKish life, and only then think about what's best for the human race.

(3)
Most of the right voters were convinced (and might still be) that they were doing what is good for them. But it isn't. They voted wrong, they were tricked against their actual will.

(4)
This is not a singular event. The same may happen somewhere near or around you maybe sooner than later, so analysig how it happened, which groups exactly voted against their own advantage, and how to make the consequences clear and understandable beforehand, and how to prevent it in general -- all this is important.

Not wasted resources at all. The opposite. We need to remember that this is not a boring news topic.
Related issue: secured DNS must downgrade/fallback to unsecured DNS because of captive portal DNS redirection (because captive portals block access to DNS until the user logs in, and the user can't log into the captive portal without DNS redirection that is prevented by DoH, DoT, and DoQ).

Impact: if you set up someone's computer to use secured DNS only, and their device doesn't have per-SSID connection profiles, then they can't use captive portal hotspot Wi-Fi without knowing how to disable secured DNS.

"Do not downgrade to unsecured DNS unless it's an explicitly authorized captive portal"

IIRC there's a new-ish way to configure DNS-over-HTTPS over DHCP like there is for normal DNS.
Ehh if you are just going to bury it kiln drying wouldn't really be that helpful. Wood in open air will dry out pretty well just sitting for two years. Commercial wood is only really kiln dried so that nobody has to store it for a year or two first and they can sell it before as much of it warps and twists due to being cut while green which makes less of it able to be sold. With a large enough pile, even if it is left uncovered, only the top couple logs or boards will get wet from the rain and if a small percentage of it rots or grows some fungus, well it wasn't there to get built into other things anyways so it doesn't matter.
We're dealing with the sum total of everything, if the true nature of things is that there are a finite number of supernovas I'd be surprised. The real shock is how small the number of supernovas is and how young everything seems to be in the known universe (the age of the observed universe is estimated at maybe double digit billion years).

These are tiny numbers given that we're quite possibly dealing with infinity in both time and space. I judge it one of the stronger arguments in favour of the universe being constructed (or, more likely, there is a lot out there we can't see). If god built a universe numbers like 1 supernova a century make some sense for artistic value.
