Any AI researcher who refuses to support his own country in a technological arms race is morally bankrupt, foolishly naive and does not deserve to enjoy the the way of life created for him by those who sacrificed their lives.

So only a stealth advantage?

Sawyer Hood's dev-browser[0] allows the browser to write playwright JS code directly. Do you have cases where his approach fails and yours works?

I live in Israel. There is fake news being spread about Tel Aviv being destroyed and Israel being hit hard. This is absolutely false. The volume of rockets is way lower than the 12 Day War. In fact, I do the irresponsible thing of not even going to the bomb shelter when the odd siren rings out.

There was a decision made by the security establishment not to allow reporting on Iranian missile hits in order to make it harder for the Iranians to do BDA.

If you think the gov't is doing illegal things to US citizens then provide the proof and expose it. I don't have evidence so I am not going to speculate either way.

I can't believe that people simply bought into Anthropic's PR messaging. This has nothing to do with "mass surveillance" (which is illegal anyway) or killbots, it's all about Dario wanting to be able to override lawful use:

I think it's quite rich all these people virtue signaling when: (1) Anthropic (and other labs) committed large scale theft of copyrighted materials to train their models. (2) Anthropic collects large swaths of data on its users (3) Dario seemed to have no issue working to help the CCP: https://x.com/ubuto23/status/2027578089371267201

Also, you must understand that if you support Anthropic, then you should be against Open Source models.

do you use FDE on your hetzner instances? I couldn't find a guarantee that they properly dispose of block storage so I ended up developing a utility for this https://github.com/mvelbaum/hetzner-fde-toolkit

the "uniparty" benefits from illegal immigration so I guess that's why it's a nonstarter.

it's more like the previous guys were so bad that people said that the guy the media lied to them about from 2015 until 2024 wasn't that bad after all.

- we now see that "bidenomics" was a disaster after the media decided to stop lying about it and blaming the people for not believing "the stats". job numbers revised down massively after it was no longer viable to lie during the election.

- crime rates revised silently UP: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/10/16/...

- apparently there was no need for a "bipartisan border bill" or for "congress to act" in order to shut down the border as encounters are down 90% now.

people have their panties in a bunch about tariffs, but I don't understand why reciprocal tariffs are so bad.

it appears that people here are happy for things to go south just so that they could shit on trump. how about having a bit more optimism for the future, even if the near term will be a bit shakey?

Can you talk about about performance implications of using WASM?

1. The browser needs to load the whole app before anything else could be done resulting in a slow first load.

2. WASM -> DOM manipulation is slow.

media literacy is another propaganda term

You literally have a "Following" tab where you can have a timeline for only people you care about. You also have both a mute & a block button. Any platform focused on news & politics will have people fighting & insulting each other, learn to deal with it.

Advertisers have left as part of a concerted pressure campaign to bring back censorship. This effort has been coordinated by NGOs that ironically receive funding by the US Gov't as part of their mis/dis/malinformation playbook in order to keep in check populist political movements that may undermine the State Department's interests. As soon as Elon sued GARM, it broke apart, and I bet the Trump admin will target NewsGuard and kill it as well.

I may disagree with people politically, but I would never ask to ban them. Heck, I don't even report people who hurl racist insults at me, I just counter-attack, just like I would in real life.

When it comes to trusting the fake news outlet CBC or Alex Jones, I'd go with Jones on this one: https://x.com/glennbeck/status/1857529776866574769

First of all, a judge just overturned this thing, so I hope you're still laughing. Secondly, if they really paid money for this, they're idiots because InfoWars is meaningless without Alex. He will just start "The Alex Jones Network" and recapture his audience.

All that said, I see that I got downvoted by woke idiots even though I don't even watch Alex Jones.

This is actually one of the dumbest stunts I'd ever seen. InfoWars is nothing without Alex Jones. They've wasted all their money since Alex will start a new project and his viewership will move.

A group of political scientists published this piece back in October, before the election. They predicted every state correctly, a popular vote victory for Trump, and 3/4 chance of Trump victory in Electoral College.

The same people, using the same model, predicted a Biden victory in 2020 and 49/50 states correctly (they missed Georgia, which they predicted for Trump back then).

Their model uses the following fundamentals, for each state:

1. State deviation from national vote in t-1 election

2. Presidential approval rating in each state (estimated with Multilevel Regression and Post-stratification)

3. Economic conditions in each state (personal income deflated by CPI, unemployment rate, non-farm payroll employment, manufacturing hours by production workers)

4. Presidential and VP home-field advantage adjustments if they apply in the state

5. If VP runs, an adjustment to account for difference in approval rating between P and VP in question

The extreme? His policy is literally to bring back as much manufacturing back to America.

1. does anonaddy support ARC?

2. are you able to reply to the email?

While we're on this topic:

1. Can anyone recommend a good file layout/organization for a polyglot monorepo that contains Python, C++, and JS?

2. Does the build system need to be use something like Buck/Bazel?

3. How do you usually open your project in an IDE? do you open the root of the monorepo, or do you open each subproject separately?

yes

Why would you start a project in C++ in 2024, especially a web browser?

cut veggies should go in the fridge

For some of them, yes. See the cheatsheet: https://postharvest.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk12711/fi...

Maybe this isn't a good idea? https://twitter.com/hackerfantastic/status/17854955875146385...

thought as much.

Marc Andreesen had a brilliant post related to this: https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/1780450134188585045

The irony is lost on this one.
