Embedded could also mean no_std, which this is absolutely not. Still cool though

> The farm sector is at least 50% climate denialists, pretending drought and flood are events are unchanging and anyway, nothing can be done.

The QLD outback is, um, interesting. Imagine the stereotypical US gun-toting religious-nut redneck and give them an Australian accent and short stumpy legs. And just like in the US they isolate their (plentiful) children and bring them up in weird bubbles with little to no contact with the outside world, and little to no job prospects apart from falling back into the same cycle their parents are in. It's really odd interacting with them, it can take weeks of effort before they'll even make eye contact with someone from outside their bubble.

Updated on re-reading: Not trying to say everyone there is like that, just that you run into a lot of them there.


Realistically if you're a small company, you just do it, until someone tells you "hey you're supposed to comply with X" and then you say "oh sorry, we didn't realise, we'll do that now", repeat for all X. Programmers think the written law is a description of what actually happens - it's not.

> I was at a gas station today that sells tobacco. No ads. Its because even displaying tobacco products, let alone advertising them, is not allowed.

We clearly don't live in the same states.


> And most of them are under 1GW

No, almost every one is above 1GW - divide the net capacity by the number under construction to see the power [1]. They appear to be almost all CAP1400 (1.4GW), Hualong One (1.0GW), or CAP1000 (1.0GW). I see a single Linglong 1 (100MW) under construction. Proposed are all above 1GW.

No kidding. After years of all offices and no housing I wouldn't put it past this place. What other city on earth hates its citizens more?

Most TUIs give you keyboard but mouse is a second class citizen, most GUIs give you mouse but keyboard is a second class citizen. To that extent, I’ll take the mouse only any day. I really want to learn over time the 5-15 shortcuts that speed up my day, not be forced to learn all of them day 0. And I say this as a power user, a casual user will use 2-3 shortcuts per app at most.

hilarious thank you

Do you, is that what the law is? I've seen enough propaganda flying around to not just take this on faith. What happens whenever two countries differ on any other regulation and one company sells outside its home country?

Does Kobo still crash regularly? Mine crashed several times daily on my Kobo reader and I gave up on the app and the device and moved on to Supernote and just reading PDFs on it.

Finally, local iOS virtualization without third-party hacks. Huge win for CI pipelines, though macOS host dependencies still limit scale.

I'm noticing a whole lot of this gets posted here whenever the EU does anything. It's almost like a propaganda campaign.

I reached a similar conclusion: LLMs should only really sit at the terminals of request fulfilment.

1. User request understanding: natural language -> a more rigorous representation, in my case Datalog.

2. Result interpretation: facts and derived facts -> natural language.

Between those terminals, the work should be mechanical reasoning over some ontology or formal knowledge structure.

That connects to another principle I've been thinking about, which I call Weathering: useful reasoning should change the shape of the system. If an LLM has already had to infer a relation, mapping, rule, or abstraction, repeated use should wear that inference into the system so that the next similar request doesn't require discovering it again from scratch.

With continued use, a weathering-capable system should therefore require less and less probabilistic intelligence for recurring work. Put another way, there should be a declining marginal cost of cognition since the products of intelligence harden into structure that can subsequently be reused and evaluated mechanically.


This is the beauty of sOps. Store the secrets in the code, but store the keys in AWS SM and have sOps do the work. Works great with Instance Profiles or IRSA.

And the compelling reason is always profit.

I will slightly disagree on a small slice: Their harness/instruction makes Opus/Fable so much better to work with.

Honestly, _this_ was their moat more than Composer to me.


Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.


You're saying "if it was fake, everyone would know it" yet you've now been presented with two members of "everyone" who do indeed "know it". How many do you have to see before you accept that "everyone knows it".

> For me, a HUGE benefit to running local models is that my data stays mine, on my computers only.

This is a huge motivation for me to build one myself


I also had to read it twice, if i understand correctly:

If i understand correctly:

1. TV is offline

2. Plug HDMI or DisplayPort into laptop

3. Windows (Update) on laptop recommends to install LG display driver

4. The LG display driver then installs all the bloat


tbf thats what a good logging lib is for, and if printenv can be run within the machine, then it's already too late

Probably not, but you can run it on a Mac today.

If that's your design constraint, couldn't you speed it up by getting rid of the WAL?

Here are some reasons to use this instead of the simulator: security research, testing, automation

No, it’s just trivial to generate iCloud email addresses that won’t get picked up by spam filter.


Interesting fact you may or may not already know: the pigeons most commonly found around human habitats are feral domestic pigeons. They generally aren't bothered by us because they're bred not to be! Corvids on the other hand are 100% wild (which makes their interactions with humans all the more fascinating, imo).

Ironically agents F'IN LOVE using dotenv for config but really struggle with sOps (as of Opus 4.6; maybe its better now).

I was a massive fan of dotenv but sOps is so much cleaner, easy enough to use and works well enough in k8s.


Anthropic rents a lot of capacity from xAI, so I don't think they're in a position to do the same.

Bubbles.town is sorta there, but there’s a lot of fluff
