The article explores the potential risk of fascism emerging in the United States, discussing the rise of authoritarian tendencies, the erosion of democratic norms, and the impact of former President Trump's 'MAGA' movement on the country's political landscape.

The article explores the concept of 'making people care' and the challenges associated with it, discussing the importance of engaging the audience's emotions and values, as well as the difficulties in crafting persuasive narratives that resonate with diverse perspectives.

The article reports that the White House posted an altered arrest photo of an ICE critic to make it appear they were sobbing, despite the original image showing a more neutral expression. The article examines the implications of the White House's use of altered media to influence public perception.

The article discusses the FAA's new drone no-fly zone around critical infrastructure facilities, including those operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This new rule aims to enhance national security by restricting drone flights near sensitive locations.

The article explores the concept of 'social tipping points,' where a small percentage of people (around 35%) can spark widespread social change. It discusses how this phenomenon has been observed in various historical and contemporary movements, and the implications for driving positive societal transformations.

The article explores the growing popularity of plant-based meat alternatives and their potential impact on the traditional meat industry. It examines the environmental and health benefits of these alternative protein sources, as well as the technological advancements and consumer trends driving their increasing adoption.

This article explores the behavioral cost of personalized pricing, discussing how it can undermine consumer trust, discourage repeat business, and lead to negative perceptions of the company. It highlights the importance of transparent and fair pricing practices in maintaining positive customer relationships.

The article discusses Clawdbot, an open-source robotics platform designed for educational and hobbyist purposes. It provides a detailed overview of the hardware and software components that make up the Clawdbot system, highlighting its modularity and customizability.

To power the firewalling for our agents so that they couldn't contact arbitrary services, I build netfence. It's like Envoy but for eBPF filters.

It allows you to define different DNS-based rules that are resolved in a local daemon to IPs, then pushed to the eBPF filter to allow traffic. By doing it this way, we can still allow DNS-defined rules, but prevent contacting random IPs.

There's also no network performance penalty, since it's just DNS lookups and eBPF filters referencing memory.

It also means you don't have to tamper with the base image, which the agent could potentially manipulate to remove rules (unless you prevent root maybe).

It automatically manages the lifecycle of eBPF filters on cgroups and interfaces, so it works well for both containers and micro VMs (like Firecracker).

You implement a control plane, just like Envoy xDS, which you can manage the rules of each cgroup/interface. You can even manage DNS through the control plane to dynamically resolve records (which is helpful as a normal DNS server doesn't know which interface/cgroup a request might be coming from).

We specifically use this to allow our agents to only contact S3, pip, apt, and npm.

This is a hobby project of mine that I started a few years ago to learn about programming language implementation. It was created 95% without AI, although a few recent commits include code from Gemini CLI.

I started out following Crafting Interpreters, but gradually branched off that until I had almost nothing left in common.

Tech stack: Rust, Cranelift (JIT compilation), LALRPOP (parser).

The article discusses the ongoing protests in Iran sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died after being arrested by the country's morality police. It highlights the government's crackdown on the protests, including the use of violence, and the international condemnation of Iran's actions.

The article discusses the increasing tribalism and polarization surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) development, with some viewing it as a threat to humanity while others see it as a transformative technology. The author argues that this tribalism can hinder progress and calls for a more balanced, nuanced approach to AI discourse.

LLMNet is an open-source library for building and deploying large language models (LLMs) using PyTorch. It provides a modular and extensible framework for training, fine-tuning, and evaluating LLMs, allowing developers to quickly experiment with different model architectures and techniques.

The article discusses a method for converting double-precision floating-point numbers to their equivalent integer bit representations using only floating-point multiplication and addition, without any bitwise operations. The technique involves manipulating the exponent and mantissa of the floating-point number to extract the individual bits.

Scientists have identified specific brain wave patterns that appear to define the limits of human consciousness and perception. These findings provide insights into the neural mechanisms underlying the subjective experience of consciousness and the boundaries of our awareness.

CertRadar is a platform that provides comprehensive information and analysis on global certification bodies and standards, helping businesses navigate the complex world of certifications.

The article discusses a call from former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, urging him to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in response to a recent shooting incident in Minneapolis. Bondi argues that sanctuary city policies have contributed to the rise in violent crime.

The article discusses the case of Bovino, who claims that Pretti forfeited his Second Amendment rights by fatally shooting someone. It examines the legal and ethical implications of this argument and the ongoing debate surrounding gun rights in the United States.

The article discusses the potential release of erotic content generated by the AI chatbot ChatGPT, raising concerns over the safety and ethical implications of such a move, particularly regarding the protection of minors and the potential for the AI to perpetuate harmful stereotypes or reinforce unhealthy sexual behaviors.
