Re:Scaling Git at OpenAI on Tuesday November 03, 2026 @12:54AM (#50348577)
becuase devs stop coding by hand and start prompting AI even for smallest of tasks, for example "hey codex, check grafana alerts and tell me x, y, z" instead of navigating it by hand and figuring out in grafana UI
Americans are not Koreans/Chinese, they have completely different IQ distribution and ethnic mix of population.

PISA result distributions are completely different

its kinda rich talking about Russian/Soviet crime in the 1990s, when in the US 1% of population is incarcerated (top-1 in the world), 19 mln have felony record, and 79 mln people or 1/3 of population have some sort of misdemeanor or past criminal record

American textbooks are the thickest, heaviest, have the most pages and have generally more comprehensive coverage that is better for self-studying.

For example Gregory Mankiw's Economics textbook is 800 pages.

Russian economics textbook by Tarasevich is 374 pages

its already the case, in America student classes get reshuffled EVERY year. Plus kids change schools from elementary/middle/high/college. Every year your class is shuffled.

There wont be any impact on students, because every year every class is reshuffled slightly, and every 3-4 years you change school altogether

your adult life and career will be ruined even worse if you cant grasp basic math.

The school is supposed to be a safe learning environment, not a simple daycare.

learning means giving a feedback to improve. If you destroy the feedback mechanism that gives negative news, then people stop learning altogether.

Imagine trying to train a neural network, but you dont have backpropagation, because negative feedback is bad. So you stick to throwing noodles at the wall and hope something will stick

All societies have crime and prisons
The reason is Soviets wanted to catch up to the Western world in science.

That's it, there is no other explanation.

Stalin took the reigns of a devastated, poor, agricultural society and left it as a nuclear armed superpower who won WW2. The State had the goal of being a strong state and educating its people to be strong people

the truth is America has given up on "shifting the distribution" to the right.

Its impossible to do so at the lower end, without massive redistribution.

So the next possible action is to paper over the giant hole in the wall with plaster and pain and pretend that "everything is ok, according to standards"

NIW doesnt mean you have to build weapons.

Simple cybersecurity (offensive or defensive) qualifies for NIW, as well as other fields

I actually prefer the policy of people repeating the grade, rather than school graduating people who dont understand basic math
they were not gangsters during the soviet times, so its hardly an argument about them as persons. But rather a sign of decaying times (the fall of the USSR and the economic hardship).

Remember when the US had a hurricane somewhere in the South (Kathrina?), people just went looting all retail stores, same as what happened during BLM riots, the current riots in Paris, etc etc

Cisco doesn't talk to devices, Cisco talks protocols, most of them are documented in specs and they are often vendor neutral.

if any hardware does not confirm to specs, thats on them and its actually a reason to pull out and replace legacy hw

Cisco is losing to competitors in some features/products, for example to juniper mist.

rewrite can be done to quickly refactor and/or close the feature parity, improve the UI/UX for end customer, add missing features or integration needs

there is software to simulate any arbitrarily complex network: GNS3, eve-ng, Cisco Modeling labs, etc
Re:AI Isn't Replacing SREs. It's Deskilling Them on Friday October 30, 2026 @12:30PM (#50306301)
there is always infra/platform underneath the system, they are the SREs
their only argument is dont do anything, dont build anything, dont change anything, the Earth is too populated, so we need degrowth degrowth degrowth at all costs and fall of living standards across the board, so that we can achieve true Net Zero Carbon life.

thats the only argument these people make

Re:Early progress on accelerating drug development with Claude on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @04:10PM (#50280181)
can today's labs prompt Claude Code to do 1488 experiments in-vitro continiously over 48 hrs ?
then why are we bothering with importing batteries from China if USA has solved the problem with pumped storage ???

dont you see the problem with USA solving the problem and USA still having a lack of energy storage issue ???

Re:Early progress on accelerating drug development with Claude on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @12:40PM (#50276497)
because SWEs are simply more superior. it is SWEs who built AI, and not the biology students
Re:Early progress on accelerating drug development with Claude on Wednesday October 28, 2026 @12:36PM (#50276455)
currently we rely on meatbags to do 2 and 3, we have not fully built in-vitro done by Claude Code
the transition is in-silico => in-vitro => in-vivo

AI already can do in-silico simulation

add microscopes and tiny precision actuators, and we can build closed feedback loop in-vitro system

once we have in-vitro, it will be easier to go in-vivo

we do have high precision microscopes that can see molecules, so it is possible to build closed system with feedback loop that feeds back into AI at very small scales
Internet is untrusted network, there are a lot of malicious and gray actors. There is no community here.

it is in fact engineering incompetence and loose engineering, if you cant handle a burst of traffic

its not a denial of service because there was never an intent to deny the service
if you put stuff available to download, dont be surprised that someone will download it

What is the actual news here, can anyone explain ????

USA should explore Pumped Storage Hydropower more, it has same or better efficiency than battery storage and can use existing facilities like hydroelectric dams
they were moderating the whole world, think about that for a moment
