It would be in foreign interest, yes. But all of this is no different from 50 years of the environmentalist movement. The snail darter was an invented species decades ago. So if it’s propaganda, it’s not invented so much as amplifying what

You guys have heard the Seinfeld Isn't Funny trope thing? Where Seinfeld had a style of humour on the show that became such a widespread cultural sensation that people who watch the show after became immersed in comedy derivative fro

They blocked geothermal drilling in the desert. After multiple years of blocking it with use of environmental law they finally managed to preserve it as a conservation area for sustainable tourism: > Organizers of the Burning Man festiv

I enjoy forums, so I prioritize spam filtering to preserve signal to noise. Others may prefer to read every cialis ad. I think these two extremes and everyone in between can coexist on the same forum, but in order to do so it helps to have

Growing up in India, this was a huge issue back then. Sand miners were sort of like your alcohol runners. Big mob operations with connections into a bent police force at a high level. One of those things which needs a strong state to protec

The site is fairly politically polarized. However it is not a very large subset participating. Strategically blocking users using a Chrome extension can help you maintain epistemic hygiene. The comments section I see is much sparser and muc

That seems like process error rate. Inspection, as far as I know, samples output and checks processes. But inspected processes also have error rates. That’s how it goes. So the pack you got probably was not “inspected” in the sense that no

Funny. Two of OP’s events are prior to the DOGE cuts so they could not be causative. But these panics are so amusing. Pete’s breaking the trains. Hegseth (was it him?) is crashing the planes. RFK’s eating the infected meat. The Haitians are

Huh, what you’re describing is what I assumed it was. I thought it was secured against the asset itself. I can see why they hesitate somewhat. In the US, this is usually a covert bailout for a vote bank. Grant loans for their machines and t

It’s someone’s blog post before a calculus exam. I think it’s fun to do this stuff. On your own site you can write whatever you want. See, when I was a kid I found something I thought was great and inventive only to find that it was not onl

Many ancient paradoxes are not really paradoxes. Zeno's ones are resolved today with infinite series. But this is a real one. Is it possible to describe an arbitrary real number? Almost all reals are not describable. But you cannot fin

It's really a pity that we missed the boat on large nuclear reactors. So much more power would enable so many use-cases and cheap electricity would have enabled us to have much less gas heating. Massive damage to the climate caused by

The cheapest card that will run this model very well is a ln unlocked CMP 170HX. But you can run it on a 3090. I run it on an old spare A6000 Ampere. I think I wouldn’t use anything lower than 60 tok/s though, which you can get with MT

Well TIL. Great tip. I only ever hit that key combination when I look around Finder and find myself unable to go up one level easily from the icon bar - an action I do constantly.

That doesn’t sound right. Silicon Valley is clearly responding to massive demand for AI services. The reason Nvidia has so much money is that people are paying them for something only they can make. It’s not like they’re issuing stock into

This doesn’t strike me as a problem. There are sufficient entrepreneurs that market need common to a total 20% of the population will be met. In the USA that 70 million is a sufficiently large number. After all, that’s $700 million of MRR a

The one UI invention many web UIs now add is the universal command search bar. I’m most familiar from it from Jetbrains IDEs where it’s been for over a decade and it is a remarkable upgrade on browsing menus. With the KeyPromoter extension

Great library. Really enjoy using it. Agents work really well with the kind of site you build with it and it’s very easy to build. Thanks for the upgrade skills.

That was surprisingly nice. I get to see the far distance on the map. Something has to be done about turns, though. They’re far too whirly for me. Good demo!

Haha, that’s incredible. I saw the MAC listing afterwards too and definitely piqued my curiosity. Terrific stuff :)

All this is true but I prefer writing AI assisted code and I doubt any maintainer can distinguish me from full spectrum bot. It’s just not productive to either of us.

It's a pity about the web, because it's becoming less accessible over time. Regardless, I (and some others) archive many of the things we browse to, so here you go: https://amber.agentic.church/web/lists.ffmpe

Classic problem. I recall spending a long time trying to get Freespace 2 SCP working on the Via Unichrome onboard GPU I had decades ago. Who could possibly have cared for that? The intersection of the two sets was probably precisely one per

Originally, yes. Nowadays, it's trivial. Agents can handle this flawlessly.

Certainly, but there was motivation to do that in the past. My patch would probably line up with the rest of the code in the direction that they desired and the cost of fork maintenance would have pushed me to upstream in a way acceptable t

Thank you for responding. Seems like a great choice overall.

by arjie 2mo ago
This makes sense. Apart from the original thing, I no longer upstream anything. It just takes comparatively more effort than maintaining a private fork with my own idiosyncratic fix. This must mean that even small fixes that non-contributor

At first, I thought that the fraction of people who want this kind of network of peers would be rather small. I thought that almost all people want extensive restrictions on user agents and controlling how the data is revealed to the user.

Sorry I missed your comment, Peter. I don't know that it's worth very much to describe. It's not sophisticated. Each component just has an attribute named data-ai-context and content that describes it. This needs no LLM. e.g.

Wait. I remember reading about this. Doesn’t SBA 7a cover your use case? I’m sure there’s an SBA loan category for you. It’s backed by the machine. Recently they changed the valuation of things or something.
