500x Faster Theseus Plots with Rust and Gitoxide

The weirdest thing is seeing anti/negative about LLMs pieces that are entirely LLM written and reek of Claude.
What are these “authors” doooing?

I hate that they keep presenting it like this like they singlehandedly jumped from 41.6->67.2%, when they took a previous conditional result in that same range and removed the conditions. It’s cool, but it’s not what they’re presenting as.
We asked an unreleased research version of Claude to take a stab at the Riemann hypothesis. It didn’t solve it, but it did make strides on a related problem: it increased the lower bound for the fraction of zeros of the Riemann zeta function that satisfy the hypothesis from 41.6% to 67.2%.

I will vote for a platform of de-Trumpification. It needs to be a scorched-earth removal of every hateful symbol.
Trump put his image/name on new passports, U.S. Institute of Peace, national park passes, banners with his face on them in Wash DC. and named a class of battleships after himself. On Day one of next Democratic President these ALL MUST be removed along with any other Trump images in White House!

Why the European left should always be pro-AC:
- Ceding this popular issue to the right empowers them; in power they'll gut climate action far more than any AC "emissions."
- AC runs on solar. Breaking news: The sun shines when it's hot.
- AC saves lives.
HEAT PUMPS FOR ALL! (AC is a heat pump...)

It's ridiculous to me that AC is a political debate in Europe (eg France). I think people don't understand the scale of climate change that's coming. It's a tsunami of heat waves. It is not survivable with simply other adaptions like trees. We're going to need all the adaptions.

On hot days like this, energy efficient computers are much nicer to use than energy hogs, they heat up the house (and your body) less! I'm sticking to my m1 laptop over the desktop workstation today.

very good and it zeroes in on a really important dynamic: the way the professionalization of the court and the industry around it serves to insulate the justices from democratic feedback as well as contribute to the idea that the justices are law wizards to whom we *ought* to defer.
I had some thoughts about the broader context of the modern SCOTUS, why it's out of control, and what we can try and do about it.

I'm so tired of shopping for clothes in ugly boy colors. It's always "black,navy,charcoal,camo green". I never want to see "charcoal" again. Give me a color that's not ugly pleaseee

the kids and the commies are always right, nobody ever listens to them and nobody ever learns a single lesson from being completely wrong about everything all the time because capitalism gives them headpats and belly rubs for refusing to change
All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

I don’t want to be an AI booster, but all of us who write text for a living (coders, copywriters, mgmt to some extent) have to confront the Innovators dilemma for our products:
AI is not as good as a professional, but a)it keeps improving and b)one day (today, in some cases) it’ll be “good enough”

I really like these “Git of Theseus” charts that make your git repo look like a weathered mountain.
Unfortunately they can be slow/cumbersome to make.
By reimplementing it in Rust with a better algorithm I got a massive speedup, hopefully now more people will make them! amedee.me/introducing-...

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. This feels like a normal, level-headed, centrist take. It shouldn't take one of the most leftist publications to publish this, this to me is a WaPo/WSJ/NYT uncontroversial opinion. Instead these other places are hagiographizing.

Political Violence Is Abhorrent. Charlie Kirk Didn’t Think So.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was a moral travesty. We can recognize that without ignoring that he repeatedly fanned the flames of political violence himself.

The two things to remember about the Hillary email thing is:
A) the Times have hated the Clinton's since they made them look dumb in the 1990s.
B) by the time the NYT printed this, it had already been discovered that the whole thing was a troll job by Jason Chaffetz, and the FBI had cleared her.

This is probably too shitlib a thing anyone in the thread will bring up and *obligatory annoying throat clearing that it doesn’t mean Hillary had no flaws yada yada* but looking back it is genuinely insane the degree they prioritized the email thing given everything that has happened since.

There’s a funny thing where historically we tend to inadvertently use the “currently hot thing” as our model of the mind. Freud used steam engines, when I was a kid it was computers, and recently deep learning/“predictive processing”. But now the hot thing is LLMs, and they are so faulty!

Something I’m not seeing any discussion about is vibe coding for UX prototyping. I just implemented a figma for a complicated new feature in 2 hours, you can interact with it much better and find gaps in the user flows.
It’s like 3D printing a prototype to iterate on before sending it to the factory
