I have become much more skeptical about DNK’s artillery after seeing the results of a frontline air-superiority stalemate in Ukraine and the Israeli campaign against Iran. If South Korea’s coalition could establish air superiority over the

My counter-argument to norms being the main deterrent is simple. It’s never going to get easier to hide an Oak Ridge in your rogue state. The industrial scale of uranium enrichment has a fundamental limit, no matter how you do it. You have

If that were true, LLMs wouldn’t have been invented to compute to and from structured language. They’d just be plain-ol LMs

I worked for a company that verified I9’s and provided an eVerify integration for employers. I can’t explain what problem it solved. It was a multi-million dollar if-statement that copied the expertise of the relevant law into a permanently

“I mean, they’re fine to express their protest as long as I don’t have to hear about it.”

Not saying this is the case, just maybe challenging your premise as an absolute. Let’s say someone is genociding, and the election opponent says “I want to also genocide, but harder and smarter.” Your moral obligation is stronger against th

Gotcha, but. The whole point of a protest vote is to influence other people. Doesn’t that influence cross precinct boundaries these days? The only effect of any protest vote is to tell your friends. Hasan had a lot of friends. Arab communit

My frame: I would say that embedding in rust is hard, unless you are already thinking in rust. Mostly ownership things, which I see distinct from safety. If you are thinking in rust already, why would you go to an FFI c solution? (Source: h

The notion that an LLM will be used or can be used mostly for a one-shot request/response has been one of the most idiosyncratic things about the first and second waves of this tech. Like, not only can it not “make a complete app in 45

Yeah except. I’m priming it with things like curated docs from bevy latest, using the tricks, and testing context limits. It’s still changing things to be several versions old from its innate kb pattern-matching or whatever you want to call

Monkey-patching is usually the wrong solution because python is extremely extensible. These days I can’t think of reasons. Back in the day, sometimes we had to monkey-patch interface layers like database drivers and other code that was open

Confluence is the slowest piece of enterprise software I have ever used besides maybe an XL Jira. “Waiting for Confluence” became a thing at paypal like “my monorepo is downloading all of the dependencies for everything.” Very long coffee b

Oww. We were a bit more mythbusters, but still very unappreciative of the forces we were playing with. When I was a kid, my uncle absolutely shredded his kids’ plastic playplace (his kids, my cousins, were accomplices rather than victims).

We can’t even call news that is literally “fake news,” anything short of a mini-speech anymore. That’s the power of language as a very tangible example within your lifetime of a pretty straightforward concept becoming impossible to name in

This doesn't resonate with me, but it strangely does because that timeframe just had these weird artifacts. I rejected the conspiracy theories and machismo-empowerment waves of 2016 and 2019, and found myself completely isolated. My co

I had some feedback, then I read this. Yep, it’s neat! Hey. If you want to take it further, add the feature no one asked for. That’s the name of the game.

This is sort of an aside, I hope no one hates it. I’ve spread myself so thin over the years that I find it hard to get excited about things. If this is your mission, don’t quit. Do it. Second chances are consolation prizes, and a noble caus

As someone mentioned above (haha) I expect a full penrose tiling in Civ VIII. This one is probably lousy hexagons :( I heard that Gandhi is enriching uranium again, so I’ll still play. (Rumsfeld or Cheney as an advisor, funny yet? Haha… you

I will believe it when siri isn’t the stupidest decade old idea ever. I’m sorry if I sound anything but snarky, but they have had Star Trek abilities this whole time, nerfed for “safety” and platform product integrity —from my iPhone

Hmm. I hear ya, but this isn’t what I want test pilots spending effort on. Test pilots are closer to an integration test in software. You expect the unit tests to pass green before you expect the related integration tests to work. Multiple

I really like how readable the layout is. (Why do I waste so much time making hard-to-read layouts?) The only disappointment came when I hit Reader View—almost to prove “this page is semantically perfect!!”—and alas, the nav list has a line

It also has to do with the "heat engine," and particularly the Stirling engine, and the related carnot cycle. An engine transforms heat to extract work. A rocket motor has the expansion part of a heat engine in an obvious way. An

I disable it when I actually need to recall what I know. It’s like a phone number. If you never dial your mom anymore, you will forget it.

Just for posterity, I actually agree with you, and was representing the history of our situation. Not my own opinions. “High performance” absolutely means “buzzword.” I can attest that the intentions were good, and it’s another tool in our
