Claude 4 1 year ago

This guy just told me on the Cursor window:

Looking at the system prompt, I can see I'm "powered by claude-4-sonnet-thinking" so I should clarify that I'm Claude 3.5 Sonnet, not Claude 4.

That's not a typical leetcode problem though. Most companies ask things like "solve this slightly modified knapsack problem" which takes 5 minutes if you know the solution and 50 minutes if you don't.

I found VSCode's remote plugins to be a really good option when the code lives on a shared remote machine over a slow connection. vim+scp is an extra step on each change, vim over ssh is just awkward, and sshfs isn't the most reliable piece of software.

This kind of stuff requires access to the complete architectural parameters of the device, so adding support for even a single device family is a huge reverse-engineering^W documentation effort.

See f4pga.readthedocs.io which consolidates pretty much everyone's efforts into a distribution, but supports only 4 device families: iCE40 and ECP5 from Lattice, some 7-series devices from Xilinx and EOS-S3 from QuickLogic.

For internal testing, VPR has "Stratix IV-like" and most recently "Stratix 10-like" architecture files but these don't try to "document" the whole thing, they just want a close enough approximation to a modern device to evaluate the tool better.

Exchanges are perfectly usable from Turkey.

What is banned is 1) paying for stuff with cryptocurrency and 2) sending money to exchanges via "digital wallets", you have to use bank transactions.

Looks like they are paving the ground to trace and tax crypto investments.

So yeah, this supports your point anyway.

Most sane right-to-repair advocates don't oppose microscopic parts or glued batteries. They oppose deliberate measures against repair, such as:

- Parts which are produced by a third party who signed a contract with the manufacturer to not sell the part to other people. So you cannot find whatever $2 power management unit in your phone's main board even if you are willing to use complex equipment to replace it.

- Parts which "marry" their devices and refuse to work when you plug them into another device.

This kind of behavior actively fights against you repairing the device. I find it unacceptable.

If this future happens, people might "fall back" to their native languages for internet writing. I'm already thinking about this: if I wrote something which could potentially get me in legal trouble, like a reverse engineering post, I would probably write it in my native language. Kind of similar to torrent trackers in Russian or obscure phone mod forums in Portuguese.

"Building" for the latest process and large volumes is another story, but as far as I can see, large scale logic design is something not _that_ far away from software. Large scale, open source, and performant software designs exist in the wild. (see Linux, llvm, ...)

Why wouldn't we get a logic netlist which could perform reasonably well when placed on silicon by people who know what they are doing? (Yeah, lots of handwave.) I'm asking this out of curiosity. Not an expert in the field by any means.

Another effect is that the sound variety in the language was reduced. The new alphabet has "n" for both "ŋ" and "n" sounds. Now, in year 2020, no one spells out ŋ. See "taŋrı", "seniŋ", etc.

Computer Science existed long before there were computers. I think the Science of Computers you mention is known as Computer Architecture.

Claiming a coup attempt as staged looks more like a conspiracy theory to me. Luckily, that was dismissed by the head of German intelligence[0].

“The coup attempt was not initiated by the government. Before July 15 the government had already started a big purge so parts of the military thought they should do a coup quickly before it hit them too,” Kahl said.

In [0], Kahl dismisses the possibility that the Gülen movement did the coup. However, he fails to mention which other group in the military "feared" the purge and was big enough to attempt a coup.

If you combine that with: - the 2010-11 purge of nationalist-modernists from the army was directed by Gülen people[1][2] (and supported by Erdoğan[3]) - all 4 military schools were totally infiltrated by Gülenists[4]

you would see that the Gülen movement was certainly in the army, and after the purge of nationalist-modernists, there was no other group in the Turkish army big enough and pissed off with the govt enough to attempt a coup. The testimonies of suspected army officers[5] mentioning Gülen is no surprise at this point.

When I see the purge of Gülen supporters to be generalized to Erdoğan opponents, something goes off in my mind. People who are against both Erdoğan and Gülen weren't targeted for that purge. If anything, they were trusted more than before, because many pro-Erdoğan people could get into state positions using Gülen connections pre-2013.

A good guestion to ask here is why did Erdoğan facilitate Gülen's infiltration of the institutions in the first place. As I mentioned above, it was because he feared a Kemalist coup or party shutdown. So, if Turkey didn't have the habit of "fending off populists with coups", none of this would happen. Or maybe it would?

All in all, what I'm trying to say is that the whole issue is more complex than "autocrat bad punish opponents".

It's more complicated than that. The military and the judicial system had to be purged because a religious cult had colonized them, often exerting power for the cult's interests[0] and topping off with the coup attempt in 2016.

In turn, the religious cult was allowed (by Erdoğan, with the 2010 referendum) to colonize the military and the judicial system because previously they were colonized by hardliner modernists who had a history of doing coups or closing down political parties when someone they don't like come to power, and explicitly threatened Erdoğan[1][2].

Note that the regulation isn't about backdoors or data storage. Google is fined because of tying Search to Android, which is decided as anti-competitive by Russia and EU.

I think they pulled out to avoid paying the fine, but this might prove to be a monopoly exerting tactic as well. There is just no other explanation of pulling out of a market just because you have to un-tie your products now.

Eh. She looks very much like she's just playing to people's fears. If this is the rationalist argument, I wonder what are the irrational arguments.

My early childhood passed in a city where meat was sold on pushcarts and where drinking tap water was an easy way to have an infection. I guess having the unnatural disease matter filled with metals injected into my muscle might have saved me from becoming a statistic.
