There are different laws depending on your class. The laws are enforced by people who identify with those of their class and are deferential to those with of superior standing. This is why wage theft, for example is tolerated while actual theft, even in cases where it might be for basic sustenance, is not.

Deepseek on high reminds me of Opus 4.x which was quite good for a lot of tasks.

Infrastructure for cars is massively subsidised too. Since tansport is infrastructure it it interacts with everything else (eg less cars in the city => less spending on car infra) and has a lot of positive externalities. The investment pays back in positive outcomes which can also be quantified in terms of money of you like. It's like you've got a balance sheet but you're filtering it to only look at two items.

Exactly. I live in Finland bought an educational English grammar for kids book for my son 2nd hand from a private seller for 4 euros with 4 euros shipping from the UK. The final cost after all fees was was around 25 euros. It's not just for junk it's for everything. It's an Amazon subsidy (should have used amazon.de).

It's true you can. Just as you can say that you can enumerate all memory states in a real computer so it can be modelled as a finite state machine. These asymptotic models aren't real (our world as we experience it is finite and bounded) and exist as models from which to gain insights which we can transfer back. I love this argument BTW a classic that usually comes up in these discussions.

I thought it was relatively balanced. "It happened to work for me this time but it could have gone horribly wrong." That's the truth of psychedelics as a theraputic tool.

The solution is that many goods have labels in many languages in tiny text. Almost unreadable for me!

Care to share some ratios? Where you get the minerals from? Electrolite mix? Won't it explode everywhere if you shake after carbonation?

Exactly! It's only $0.0008T. Pocket change really...

How should it be better? Most environments offer Apptainer which can import Docker containers. Plus a lot of theae languages like Julia and Chapel are pretty self contained and programmed against eg ancient libc for these very reasons.

People notice the jank, and it's affecting CC's reputatio That's not easy to come back from.

The needle is beginning to move on this I believe: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00321-5

Except Phillip K Dick calls the murder bots in Second Variety claws already so there's prior art right from the master of cyberpunk.

The US is part of the world.

There is something like this but twice the prive in Finland https://www.moi.fi/laitenetti . Can't make outgoing calls but there are pay as you internet call out services for that occaddional use case.

Looks like it's an extension offered by this https://css-doodle.com/

So the main news is that they're giving up on develping an independent IDE and turning into another VS code fork. The loss of biodiversity and reliance on a no-so-reliable steward is mildly concerning.

I think EdgeDB/gel maybe addresses this problem. It has nice syntax for returning hierarchical resultsets from a relational database.

Sometimes I listen to music without lyrics like surf or gabber. Other times its genre music like northern soul or punk or familiar music where the lyrics are so familiar or vacuous/cliche that they don't distract. I wouldn't listen to really lyrically focussed music like singer songwriter stuff generally. So I think there's a spectrum rather than just instrumental music vs everything else.

I wouldn't describe it as a hack necessarily. This is called rejection sampling, and it's just fine as long as the rejection rate is low enough.

I think this is correct and projects like DuckDB are doing a food job at supporting both halves by triaging issues also based on the identity and affiliation of the author (no anonymous issues) and converting them into supporters https://duckdblabs.com/community_support_policy/

This passive approach of libxml2 where the software remains community only is just fine and totally fair, but corporate users can pay up if there's a clear offering. What they actually get doesn't need to be much, but if it does need to be clear. Of course this does change the project into hybrid community/corperate open source but there can be a spectrum there where a lot of time and resources is carved out for the community approach and the corperate sponsors are given just enough to keep them happy. In a way some more corperate focussed Linux distributions are also an example of a hybrid approach really given the two worlds are very much linked.

The onboarding was that you just start key frame animating and pasting in actionscripts.

I think it's understood, but someone needs to work on the actual infrastructure.

Almost definitely. You can think of there being a type of triangle inequality for cascading different systems where manually combined systems almost always perform worse given comparable data and model capacity. Alternatively you have tied the models hands by forcing it to bottleneck through a representation you chose.

Sometimes they even drop bombs from them -- on to residential blocks with families no less.

The basics are here: https://box86.org/ It is an emulator but:

> Because box86 uses the native versions of some “system” libraries, like libc, libm, SDL, and OpenGL, it’s easy to integrate and use with most applications, and performance can be surprisingly high in some cases.

Wine can also be compiled/run as native.

Almost certainly done to avoid the cost of regulatory compliance.

The models are here: https://huggingface.co/LumiOpen

They successfully trained LLMs on Lumi, which has AMD Instinct MI250X GPUs. This perhaps provides a hint about one angle on why AMD are interested.

Then a seagull flies overhead ;)
