I'll spare both of us the rant but this comment won't age well.

runlaszlorun··on SQLite in Production: Optimizing WAL Mode, Concurrency, and VFS Layers
I'd def recommend simonw's CLI and Python lib for anyone doing SQLite stuff, there's all kinds of stuff there.
runlaszlorun··on Show HN: I simulated closing the Strait of Hormuz on real oil trade data
Very cool. I'll def check this out more later on.

Ha! I didn't get the reference at first but hilarious...

runlaszlorun··on Magnifica Humanitas (Encyclical Letter)
Awesome, thx for posting. I now have my new next book to read. Been wanting to read more of the original cybernetics stuff.

Would you also recommend "The Human Use of Human Beings"?

runlaszlorun··on Kagi Translate now supports LinkedIn Speak as an output language
This is hilarious but... and I can't believe Im actually giving critique here... but a modern day, LinkedIn version would be couched in words like "exceedingly complex", "multi-domain", "system of systems", etc.

But the whole thing is brilliant. And #GrowthMindset at the end is absolute gold.

runlaszlorun··on Forget Flags and Scripts: Just Rename the File
I'll confess to only have skimmed TFA but I love this idea.
runlaszlorun··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
I'm def adding "slippery semantic slopes" to my vocab.
runlaszlorun··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
You pretty much nailed it. I can't even get outraged at any given instance now that the trendline is so staggeringly clear.

I can't see anyway this ends well for the US. I say this as both an American and a military veteran.

Um. No, that's not how it works...
runlaszlorun··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
Oh my gosh. I was hoping that book had died a terrible death...
runlaszlorun··on OpenAI raises $110B on $730B pre-money valuation
Best comment of the day. In three words no less...

> There is a lot of history of the first movers that created revolutionary products that eventually faded away into nothing, while others capitalized on the innovation.

I'd say most first movers fade away. Microsoft wasn't the first OS, Google wasn't the first search engine, Facebook wasn't the first social network... etc... etc... etc...

runlaszlorun··on US orders diplomats to fight data sovereignty initiatives
I'll add my voice that the movie is definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it yet.
runlaszlorun··on iPhone and iPad approved to handle classified NATO information
This deserves to be the top comment.
runlaszlorun··on Flock cameras gifted by Horowitz Foundation, avoiding public oversight
Palantir used this backdoor to get into municipal police departments. LA is the example that sticks in my mind. I remember others.
runlaszlorun··on Large Language Model Reasoning Failures
I think this issue is way overlooked. Current LLMs embed a long list of values that are going to be incongruent with a large percentage of the population.

I don't see any solution longer term other than more personalized models.

runlaszlorun··on MIT Technology Review has confirmed that posts on Moltbook were fake
What are his recent missteps?

I'll confess I try to ignore industry chatter to a fair degree.

Ha, great analogy.
runlaszlorun··on Cells use 'bioelectricity' to coordinate and make group decisions
It's not their fault, they didn't have lean startup and blitz scaling yet. </s>
runlaszlorun··on Cells use 'bioelectricity' to coordinate and make group decisions
Oh wow. That's far less ridiculous a notion.
runlaszlorun··on SQLite Is a Self Contained System
So am I correct I'm thinking that SQLite doesn't need, for example, FS sycalls just the VFS functions?
runlaszlorun··on Tesla ending Models S and X production
Any chance we can get VW to do a Cyber Vanagon??
runlaszlorun··on Design Thinking Books (2024)
Sorry... OT... But I'm dying to know how you use FFT for machine failures. Is it just a matter of looking for unwelcome vibrations? Or more?

runlaszlorun··on The Uncomfortable Math of Working for Yourself
If you find that interesting, look at Stephen Hayes' Relational Frame Theory which is the inspiration for his ACT theory of therapy.

But he basically breaks all communications into patterns like those.
