> I wonder how these will fare in Saxony. I presume it's an industry which will attract and depend on highly qualified foreign workers.

Saxony has had a decently-sized or large (by German standards) microelectronics sector for decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Saxony

As you'd probably guess, they're mostly situated around Leipzig and Dresden.

> A pardon absolves one of the sin as if it didn't happen, legally.

This is incorrect. A pardon is not an expungement. The conviction remains a usable historical fact and could still be referenced in later legal procedings.

Exact ramifications vary between innocence-based pardons, rehabilitiation-based pardons, and pure discretionary clemency.

If it makes you feel any better, the reverse holds as well. Grass is greener mentality exists everywhere.

There's a post every other month where some dude who put nonsense information online celebrates because it actually ended up in some frontier models weights.

If it's easy enough that some randos can do it for fun, what do you think happens when there's commercial interest behind it?

Obviously companies are going try nudging AI towards recommending whatever they're selling. It's a logical extension of SEO - and that's a 100 billion USD industry.

Additionally, if I believed myself to be in some sort of spending - err - AI race, I'd try to poison the data sets of my competitors by putting crap out there for others to ingest.

Most Europeans do not think about some ill-defined "communist threat" at all. The majority of negative opinions about China stem from economic worries.

Also FYI: the CCP has officially adopted the designation "socialist democracy" for themselves*, so I don't think you're going to bother them much by using that term. You'll have to get more specific about what you think their "democracy" should look like for them to start giving you the side-eye.

* Many places that are not really recognizable as democracies from a western POV do this. People, we have democracy at home!

I suppose it's time to form a new media consumption habit.

The reason most people reach for Kubernetes is because it's cool. The entire infra the vast majority of Kubernetes users have could run on a single bare metal machine with a second one for redundancy.

To be fair: using Kubernetes anyways builds the skill just in case you become one of the 0.1% who actually need it down the line.

> In Germany getting 25k as a working adult is hard

German median household wealth is 4x that.

This effect is temporary. Otherwise one could run their AC once for a few minutes and then it'd be cold inside your home for the rest of the year until you turn up heating.

In reality equilibrium is restored quickly (and the thermal mass we're cooling/heating here is insignificant anyhow).

You know what... go ahead and build your panopticon somewhere. The rest of us are going to have an actual society somewhere else, the way it has worked for thousands of years.

If you're so scared of your own shadow you'd tie a noose around your own neck and hand the other end to those in power in exchange for an illusion of safety, I won't stand in your way.

Build that cage around yourself and hope the jailer will be benevolent. Just don't drag others down with you. Some of us have decided to learn from history.

What if lots of murders happened in bathrooms?

When the new client was built, microservices were the hot new buzzword.

The new client is some weird plugins/services based architecture. Things that'd barely warrant their own class in a boring OOP-based UI framework are instead now "isolated" services. The reality of this isolation being that if one piece breaks, the whole UI becomes unusable anyways. Dozens of things that in another app would've been just a simple synchronous call now behave like remote procedure calls and messages, forcing all the complexity of distributed systems into a local application for no reason.

That's why it runs like ass, breaks if you look at it wrong, and your CPU draws more power when using the client than when playing the game at 200FPS.

> I would say information density was too high. All those always-on indicators: 3D scrollbars, buttons, etc. create a very busy picture.

Have you been in nature recently? We've evolved to deal with very busy pictures and parse relevant information from them.

New UIs often don't have relevant information - like what is clickable or scrollable - and that's a problem.

It used to be that grandpa couldn't find a button with his poor eyesight, since everything was cramped and too tiny on the small screens we used to have.

Nowadays the clickable label is hidden behind a tiny hamburger menu that you can't tell apart from a mere stylistic flourish on the massive screens we keep mostly empty. Now neither of us can find the button.

That's progress? Every time I open an old application I breathe a sigh of relief because I can feel the cognitive load decreasing. Not having to put myself in the headspace of the designer to figure out what random geometric shape happens to be interactive is like taking a vacation.

I'm not getting what I want on free speech, because the center left form the ruling parties. And I wouldn't want the right to be in power anyways, though soon they couldn't do much worse to this democracy.

People here are getting police visits and legal mail because they called a politician a name on twitter or get investigated over a sign they held at a political protest.

Thousands of cases at this point.

Yeah. On pretty much every other topic important to me, their official positions are either diametrically opposed or lean into another direction far enough that supporting other parties would be a better choice.

I've read this five times and I still can't reconcile it with what I said.

> Apparently they missed Ron Wyden (co-sponsor) of the bill is a Democrat and the bill is a bi-partisan effort?

And thank god for that. I hope this is indicative of a larger trend in the opposite direction.

I'm not in the US, but here too free speech and other democratic values have been something the far right could contrast themselves on against the center and left. It pisses me off to no end that the issues I've been harping on about for years are now most effectively championed by a group that is otherwise ideologically opposed to me. I'm not mad at the right for this, I'm mad at the center and left who handed it to them.

Yes, that is the price developers will have to pay. Development will be harder, but users are going to prefer somewhat broken sites over being outright refused entry.

At the end of the day user-preference is what dictates which browser is used and how it is configured. Developers will have to deal with what users choose to do on their end.

You can only patronize people for so long before they look for a way around silly restrictions. Trying to keep someone safe by putting up walls, whether the threat is real or imaginary, is pointless when it is in the user's power to trivially defeat those walls - and when extension and browser developers are going to line up to sell them demolition tools (see ad blocking).

Advice is going to go much further than roadblocks, long term.

It appears website developers desperately want to return to a world where browsers actively pretend to be another browser*.

Want to check for DBSC? Enjoy not knowing whether the browser vendor decided to just roll a simple software implementation.

Nothing good comes from browser detection over feature detection anyways. It's time to do away with user-agents and other overt identifying markers, and if we're still not in a better place, aggressively start stubbing features.

* to some degree they still are. Firefox still ships with an user-agent override list for certain websites that have outdated user-agent sniffing for feature detection (and other fixes in about:compat).

As described, if one "cell" crashes, you re-route/retry everything on the other cell. Assuming your system is deterministic and the inputs stay the same, the second cell should now break as well.

This reads to me like an attempt to patch a system that's already fucked beyond belief while pretending you're doing "engineering".

Fancy implementation of a retry loop attempting to minimize downtime.

It thinks I'm a German journalist and author focusing on data protection and privacy issues.

It got the job description wrong, but the issues correct. Not too bad. Should've said "asshole with an opinion".

Strangely enough even most tiny models can explain what some of my projects are, including correct historical details. The project websites have my name on it in the contact info and there's other sources connecting it as well. Maybe that gets scrubbed from training data?

If you have the capability to manufacture heavy machinery, building it by copying an existing design is not rocket science. They're not crazy complicated and often built or adapted to a dig specific tunnel anyways.

Now, operating a tunnel-boring machine, that's a different beast, but you'd have to do that either way. Probably should get outside help if your engineers and scientists haven't planned and dug a tunnel in their life.

Some of these submissions would put satirists out of a job.

Makes me think they're not using anthropic directly but rather any downstream provider. Pretty much everyone has broken caching for anthropic models, which can make requests a couple dozen times more expensive for long contexts.

I did manage to blow through about 1k in a day once doing this, so I can see how one might reach 6k with broken caching + heavy workloads.

For comparison: What cost me me $1k via openrouter would have cost me maybe the weekly allowance of a claude max x20 subscription with proper caching (so like $50 instead). Don't use credits on claude by the way. That's another ripoff (just get more subscriptions).

You really can screw this up and pay x20 what you could have.

You probably noticed, but each of these is also just a quote from the paragraph right next to them. Also here the drawings are cute, so that's nice.

Maybe you're not used to that style, but it's pretty common in educational literature (especially for younger audiences). They're mostly navigation aids, highlight conclusions or other important tidbits, or merely exist to break up the flow so it's not just an impenetrable-looking block of text.

I remember many school books being full of these back in the day.

Some newspapers do it too, where they just place a quote from the article itself under images or just enlarged by itself, not really adding anything in either case.

It's literally just writing a spec.md and reviewing it in a loop, fanning out to many agents using "reviewer -> [findings] -> validator (adversarial) -> judge (on conflict)" passes. Before I had it collect a kernel facts document from sources and a bunch of other stuff using the same kind of loop. It's got all it needs. No crazy permissions needed.

Also I'm doing this because I find it amusing and somewhat educational on a meta level. If I'd written this myself without a spec it would've been done last month and been likely more correct than what Claude is likely to do once it gets to implementing it (the first spec-free attempt failed miserably). This is way too complex an integration for the poor thing. I had some hopes Fable would get it unstuck, but now we'll never know. Fable did seem to be better at keeping it together.

Fun thing to watch on a second monitor though.

To answer your question, there is something less nuclear: You can cycle multiple modes with SHIFT+TAB.

Well, on a positive note they seem to have also reset all weekly usage on my two max accounts.

Now I can continue my vanity project of having Claude iterate on a single spec.md for hours on end. Surely at some point it won't be shit.

If you're unsure what exactly this is supposed to be, just have a look here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel

> [..] the inhabitants believe that the books contain every possible ordering of just 25 basic characters (22 letters, the period, the comma, and space). Though the vast majority of the books in this universe are pure gibberish, the laws of probability dictate that the library also must contain, somewhere, every coherent book ever written, or that might ever be written, and every possible permutation or slightly erroneous version of every one of those books.

Still missing the pipe into sh.

It's only a vulnerability if you absolve humans of responsibility and demote them to "meatbag vehicle for checking in LLM code".
