Arch never failed me. The only time I remember it panicked was when I naively stopped an upgrade in the middle which failed to generate initramfs but quickly fixed it by chroot'ing and running mkinitcpio. Back up in no time
> Personal details of family members will also be required.
This is the more egregious thing in my view. I'm not sure what I'd do if a family member threw me under the bus like that, but I know I'd be absolutely furious for a very long time.

Grok 3 and 4 scored at the bottom, only above gpt-4o, which I find interesting, because there was such big pushback on reddit when they got rid of 4o due to people having emotional attachments to the model. Interestingly the newest models (like gemini 2.5 and gpt 5 did the best.
>>That is how all standard library collections in Rust works
Yeah and that's what not going to work for high performance data structures because you need to embed hooks into the objects - not just put objects into a bigger collection object. Once you think in terms of a collection that contains things you have already lost that specific battle.
Another thing that doesn't work very well in Rust (from my understanding, I tried it very briefly) is using multiple memory allocators which is also needed in high performance code. Zig takes care to make it easy and explicit.
As long as potential feels bigger than reality, investors keep pouring in.
Case in point: The dot-com crash came only after the web matured and reality finally hit the limits of its potential.
By that logic, an AI crash would likely come only once AGI arrives and the true boundaries of its impact become visible. Or, the progress towards AGI seems to stall.
> (the vast majority of wealth for the non wealthy in the US is someone's primary residence real estate)
But this is not solely on the top 10% to be maligned. We should force everyone to save.... even $5-10/month adds up for the least privileged over time. We force everyone to immediately pay taxes because the money would not be there year end - we should do the same for saving because it is easier than changing human behaviour.
A lack of education at most societal levels to: be taught the impacts of forgoing now for later, think long term, act long term, resist impulse to spend on consumer or ego level goods for societal "approval" or mating.
Home are the primary source of wealth for families because it is forced payment.
It is what a good parent would do - and every person needs a "parent" for some aspect of our lives (we're all bad at something).
It's (1) a loss of expected value (2) misspent resources.
You spent $X to buy RAM chips, expecting that you could produce $Y with it. But you didn't. So you (1) failed to realize the expected value $Y, and (2) misallocated $X, which in hindsight you would have used differently.
Again, that's all learning that future expectations do not match reality.
The decision/action happened earlier, and is separate from the realization. Attributing the material loss to the realization is misplaced.
That's very much not what transcoding is for. You don't want transcoding so a client can render the video in a comfortable resolution. You need transcoding to save bandwidth. If you want the client to do transcoding, you must send them the full raw video file. Either end of the connection may not have enough free bandwidth for that. The client may not be able to teanscode depending on size and format.
You of course, can do this anyway. PeerTube allows you to completely disable transcoding. But again that means you're streaming the full resolution. Your client may not like this.
If realtime performance is your concern I think PeerTube allows you to pre-transcode to disk. If there is a transcoded copy matching the client request, the server streams that direct with no extra transcode.
To answer your question: shifting transcode onto the client won't improve performance and will greatly increase bandwidth requirements in exchange for less compute on the server. You almost certainly do not want this.
Yes, it would assuming pension funds have AI/Tech stock exposure.
- A rule of thumb suggested by one study is that every $100 drop in stock market wealth leads, on average, to a $3.20 drop in consumer spending. Under such an assumption, a dotcom-style crash would cut American consumption by about $890bn, or 2.9% of GDP.
The article doesn't say anything along those lines as far as I can tell - it focuses on scaling laws and diminishing returns ("If you want to get linear improvements, you need exponential resources").
I generally agree with the article's point, though I think "Will Never Happen" is too strong of a conclusion, whereas I don't think the idea that simple components ("a box of inanimate binary switches") fundamentally cannot combine to produce complex behaviour is well-founded.
So is the “binary” nature of today’s switches the core objection? We routinely simulate non-binary, continuous, and probabilistic systems using binary hardware. Neuroscientific models, fluid solvers, analog circuit simulators, etc., all run on the same “binary switches,” and produce behavior that cannot meaningfully be described as binary, only the substrate is.
Yankees 31st Annual Holiday Food Drive Helps to Feed the Bronx
Bronx Voice
December 10, 2025
BRONX LOCAL NEWS - The holiday spirit was in full swing at Yankee Stadium this week as the New York Yankees teamed up with C-Town & Bravo Supermarkets and Krasdale Foods for their 31st Annual Holiday Food Drive. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., fans rolled up with bags, boxes, and even carts filled with non-perishable items—proof that Bronx residents show up in a big way when it comes to supporting their neighbors.
Big Donations, Big Rewards
Yankees infielder/catcher Ben Rice joined front office staff in collecting donations right outside the stadium. Fans who brought at least 40 pounds of food walked away with a special thank-you: a voucher good for two complimentary tickets to select 2026 Yankees regular season home games. Not a bad trade for doing something good.
By the end of the day, fans had donated 6,756 pounds of food. But the biggest boost came from longtime partner Krasdale Foods, which contributed an additional 85,000 pounds. All together? A massive 91,756 pounds of food heading straight to local households.
Where the Food Is Going
The Yankees are once again partnering with the Bronx Clergy to make sure every pound of food reaches families who need it most during the holiday season. It’s a tradition that has helped tens of thousands of Bronx residents over the decades, and this year’s turnout shows the need—and the generosity—is stronger than ever.
Why the Community Support Matters
Ben Rice summed up the spirit of the day perfectly:
“It goes a long way. We do our best to give back to the community around here.”
Krasdale Foods’ Advertising Director Christopher Guzman noted that the demand for food assistance has only grown:
“This year, based off of the need… Krasdale and C-Town and Bravo were able to put together two truck loads with donations with things people need.”
For many families in the Bronx, the holidays are financially stressful, and access to essentials like food becomes even more challenging. Events like this help bridge that gap.
Virtual Food Drive Adds Even More Support
The giving didn’t stop at the stadium. The New York Yankees Foundation’s Virtual Holiday Food Drive, which ran from November 20 to December 3, raised $33,800 online. Combined with additional in-person contributions, the total monetary donations reached $50,000. Every dollar will go toward purchasing food at wholesale prices, maximizing the amount that can be delivered to families throughout the Bronx.
A Holiday Tradition That Keeps Giving
As Deborah A. Tymon, Senior Vice President of Marketing for the Yankees, put it:
“It’s just a gathering point for every Yankee fan to give back during the holiday season.”
And give back they did. Between fan generosity, corporate partners, and the Yankees organization, this year’s event stands out as one of the most impactful to date.
Why This Matters for the Bronx
Events like this don’t just make headlines—they make a tangible difference for local families. With food insecurity still affecting communities across New York City, initiatives like the Yankees’ annual drive play a crucial role. It’s also a reminder that sports teams can do more than entertain—they can help strengthen the communities that cheer them on.
> I don't know if it's that the AI was trained on human mistakes, or just that these languages have such strong wells of footguns that even an alien intelligence gets trapped in them.
First one. Most of C code you can find out there is either oneliners or shit, there are fewer bigger projects for the LLMs to train on, compared to python and typescript
And once we go to the embedded space, the LLMs are trained on manufacturer written/autogenerated code, which is usually full of inaccuracies (mismatched comments) bugs and bat practices
That doesn't reflect the reality of life for those in the bottom half of the wealth distribution, and especially for those in the bottom quarter. $30K is a lot of money to them. The 30th percentile of income in the US in 2023 was under $30K. They're hoping to grow their $50K to $100K or $150K before retiring at 70.
>One perspective is that Rust appears to be forced into the Linux kernel through harassment and pressure. Instead of Rust being pulled, carefully, organically and friendly, and while taking good care of any significant objections. Objections like, getting the relevant features from unstable Rust into stable Rust, or getting a second compiler like gccrs (Linux kernel uses gcc for C) fully up and running, or ensuring that there is a specification (the specification donated by/from Ferrous Systems, might have significant issues), or prioritizing the kernel higher than Rust.
On the flip side there have been many downright sycophants of only C in the Linux kernel and have done every possible action to throttle and sideline the Rust for Linux movement.
There have been multiple very public statements made by other maintainers that they actively reject Rust in the kernel rather than coming in with open hearts and minds.
Why are active maintainers rejecting parts of code that are under the remit of responsibility?
There is nothing evolutionary about human monogamy, it is all cultural. Instinctively, humans are not monogamous, neither male nor female. Something which is completely evident for people who have lived outside of an academic library.
So their entire premise is false and proven false beyond any doubt.
> The ‘monogamy hypothesis’ holds that the evolution of highly cooperative social behaviour is more likely to occur in species in which parents mate monogamously and produce full siblings
This is not evolution when it comes to humans, because it is not genetical. It is cultural.
I think the real issue comes down to how these companies are being valued. As the article points out, "the top 20 firms account for 52%, with the same number deeply invested in AI." This concentration makes the market more vulnerable to any major setback in AI's growth. But the question remains: Are these valuations justified?
As I mentioned in earlier writing [1][2], many AI stocks are priced assuming the tech will deliver far more immediate and consistent returns than history suggests. These speculative assumptions are similar to the dotcom era, where companies like Yahoo and Pets.com were valued based on hype/expectation rather than fundamentals. If AI doesn't live up to the hype, the consequences could be even worse today imo, given how much more of American wealth is tied up in stocks.
