> They may have gone to better schools, with better teachers, or had parents who cared more etc.
This is true. At the same time the Soviet Education Ministry recognized the fact that many schools and teachers are sub-par, and they went to great length to create books for self-study. Math text books curriculum was curated by Andrey Kolmogorov [0] himself with the help of talented stuff. There was monthly Quant magazine (STEM for high schoolers) and a "Quant library" -- short books written by math/physics/chemistry experts for the high school audience. This was very helpful for smart kids that were not in Moscow or Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg).

You should normalize by the number of trucks on the road in each category (gas/electric). Absolute number of fires make little sense if you have 1000 times more ICE trucks than electric ones.
This is what happens with you delegate power and decision making to others. At least you did the right thing -- moved out and now you and your wife have full agency and responsibility for your own house.
> I think a newer language, having the boreness of go, the compile speed and maybe comp time of zig and safety of rust will emerge,
Mojo?
Mojo looks interesting [0]. It is designed by Chris Lattner himself [1] and has an interesting take on borrowing references (Rust's DNA) comptime execution inspired by Zig. And it targets CPU and GPU (NPU, TPU) as first class targets. Recently reached 1.0 release.

Management should be tried for gross incompetence with some painful consequences severe enough to cause change in behavior. This is the only way.
> you can spit out perfect machine level code against a specification
Typescript team explicitly mentioned the lack of Typescript specification as one of the reasons to choose Go. Typescript as the language is defined currently by its compiler which was Javascript based. Go port is as close to it as possible while Rust would be harder to reach fully identical behavior.
I build it with `cargo build -p codex-cli --bin codex` in under 4 minutes on my old M1 MacBook Pro with 64GB memory compiling more than 1250 crates.
And Zig VScode extension is quite good.
And it also makes Apple's Private Compute to process all the pictures taken by all the iphones. Can we trust their privacy preservation against a court order?
> Everything in low Earth orbit is moving at 7600m/s. A ~10g projectile moving that fast has an energy of 580,000 joules.
What matters is the relative velocity of the projectile towards the target. I practice it will be smaller or larger (if the bullet is incoming). But steering an incoming projectile is way harder.
+1. Since I discovered Altra it feels pain to wear anything else.
+1 on Altra. I have Altra FWD and it is far the best running shoes I ever had.
High performance polars dataFrame processing library [0] is written in Rust with Python bindings via PyO3/maturin. It exposes huge dataframes to python and successfully solved the interface boundayr problems described in the article.

Nice work. But I cannot find a link to the actual code of the model or the training data. Did I miss it somewhere?
Ed Zitron is providing his assessment and prognosis strictly on financial basis. But AI has national security and geopolitical dimensions as well. US government is fully committed to keep the AI lead for as long as possible. And they use all sorts of tricks to affect the market in AI's favor. Financial analysis alone is not enough. The government will do anything to prevent AI bubble from bursting.

tare is a Python project. Why distribute it with npm rather than PyPI? Weird

Nowadays I am more concerned about measles and ebola viruses. Over-indexing on covid makes little sense in 2026.

Just to clarify -- this article is about Indian government order.
> Could you elaborate? I don't understand your implication. Amazon in particular hosts open weight models via Amazon Bedrock (e.g. Ministral 14B 3.0, DeepSeek V3.2, ...)
It means Google and Amazon do not care and would not voice their opposition against the government action.
The list of companies that signed this letter is telling (including Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft). Equally telling is the list of companies that did not sign it -- including Google, Amazon.
> but we should really stick to Standard time.
There are some arguments to stick with "half-way" time -- 30 minutes in the middle between standard and summer time. It does not necessarily solves all the problems but makes a reasonable compromise with farmers who want standard time and many others who prefer summer time.
Thanks for the link to the paper published in 2010 (16 years) ago. The OP article from Brown reads as if they were the first to establish importance of Special Relativity for heavy atoms which is not true.
