I also buy pre-peeled garlic, which keeps pretty well (the “hacks” for quickly peeling garlic have never worked for me).
Chinese cleaver is your friend.

My technique is a little bit different. I smash it with root and unpeeled. Once smashed the skin is usually in one peace and you just remove it.

And once again EULAs are unadulterated evil. As is the 1201 of dmca. And dmca as a whole.

- Rome didn't negotiate after their final siege assault was ready
Can you give some citations. My google fu failed me on that topic

No - the correct response is to explain to glock that those kind of morality clauses are void, severable and unenforceable. And I come from consumer advocacy point of view. Producer cannot tell the customer how their product can be used. That we have devolved our sense of what consumer rights should be so much is troubling.

I don't judge stances on feminism as the ultimate proxy for ethics. I am just amused by the inability of the TDS to observe that there are worse people than Trump on this planet. And at this point some of them rule Iran. It may be good idea to leave iran alone - there are a lot of non interventionist arguments available. But in this case the Americans are not bad guys.

Thankfully Trump's instincts how to do regime change seem to be better than those of the neocons.

Not the same. This is by how product is made, not used.
And this is about government procuring refusing to do business and not the other way around.

The ultra feminists on hacker news are busy downvoting me after I pointed out that the way Iranian regime treat its women makes the regime the worse side compared to US and Israel. That is all one needs to know about the current situation honestly.

For any reasons no. For lets say - being ok with their guns being used by the military, but not police - absolutely yes.

Look - if Glock can't sell guns to the government while saying - you can't shoot black people because you have problems with racism, why should Anthropic be able to do so?
A toolmaker should have no say in how his tools are used once bought. I would say that this should be the other way around - the people should be inspired by the government and take action to abolish the EULA and similar abuse.

I never understood the concept ofOppenheimer giving Truman thr bomb and then forbidding him to use it on people. Oh... he didn't...

Is it really baiting? For the majority of nitro chemistry - you take something organic, some nitric acid, some sulfuric acid as catalyst and the resulting thing will probably make a nice boom. The tricky part is getting the the stuff to make boom when you tell it to. Which requires reagents with high purity. And the guys in Merck do know what to look for if someone starts making purchases. And it is not field in which you can learn from your mistakes - both in production and procurement.
We have had total synthesis of cocaine for more than a century. The market is huge - and yet it is cheaper and easier to be grown in bolivia and shipped to Europe and US, than to be made domestically with high purity and untraceable.
Making whatever terrorist related is easy. But it is often a many step process with complicated supply chain. And every step is one where you could draw some unwanted attention. Or kill yourself.
Any man that is able to lone wolf a terrorist attack of the kind safetists fear, won't be on that will need chat gpt guidance.
A model which can be jailbroken into using a racial slur its developers didn't want it to use can probably be jailbroken into providing a plausible DNA sequence for extensively drug-resistant Y pestis.
Because the only thing the people that have the equipment, skills, resources and intent to splice a sequence into Y pestis lack is the sequence itself.
Anyway creating drug resistance in bacteria is quite trivial and thought in 6th grade. You expose them to increasing concentrations in the petri dish and 2000 generations down they use the drug for food.

I think what the gp meant is - The majority of violence against black men was in the form of - Back man demands money owed, white vader says - I am altering the deal, pray I don't alter it further and gives him less. Black man asks again for full sum, white vader roughs him up, police scratch their balls and ignore it.

That is ... irrelevant. The underlying technology works and works surprisingly well. And with white collar labor costs as they are even a 500$ monthly subscription gives a good value. The demand from people for the tools is there. They got used to AI assistants. And distilled Chinese models are quite cheap and good enough-ish too.

And what I am saying is that CAD in the current moment is good for exactly this. It should be in theory reachable for LLM, is not benchmaxxed yet, requires fairly complex "thinking" quite nice chunk of it spatial and the output is easy to verify by a human. And because the libraries of stuff are immense - you can tune the complexity to whatever your heart desires. Designing a PCB or a part by schematic is quite close to deterministic and my experiments so far show that this is the area in which llms are on the edge - like where gpt was 2 years ago - combination of surprising ability and infuriating inability. Coding is solved already. But it doesn't show the prowess of the underlying technology, but the prowess of immense training and brute force throwing hardware at it.

I think that CAD/CAM system are very good showcase - first - they are somewhat programming language - you can create any shape by steps. The models are not trained on that specifically - and you can have quite a bit of benchmark proofing.
For the record my local codex 5.3 created quite ok-ish representation of the task in 5-6 minutes. So probably something more complicated.

Ok. Here is one from me. GPT-52 wrote it to spec. The idea was human generated. You can use freecad, build123 or cadquery. Or if some of the bigguys have internal script - also their software.
Task: Parametric 3D-Printable Enclosure for ESP32 DevKit + Expansion Board

You can see that in Russo Ukraine war - Russia is quite content with the way the war is going and is careful not kill any of the enemy leaders. Whereas Ukraine often targets generals in Moscow.

I desperately want to throw a dozen agents at a problem, but every time I look at the actual code I get frustrated: "Hey, I noticed this obvious code smell/antipattern in the code, plese fix." "Sure thing boss, I fixed it." "Ok, but I meant fix all the other instances of this bad pattern that I just noticed." "Oh, right you are boss." Then 15 minutes later, "Hi boss, I implemented this other issue you asked for, it's ready to be merged." "Did you use the correct pattern as discussed and as we added to the readme/dev docs/claude.md?" "Oh, right you are boss, I'll fix it in a jiffy." Over and over again. Yes this is with the latest claude code max/opus 4.6.
So - just like working with outsourced teams in the third world but cheaper.
Anyway - LLMs are not ready for agents yet. The biggest scope they deal with ok is single feature and you need to iterate couple of times.

Yup. Conventional warheads. If they just want to flatten Taiwan for example.

Do we have any reasonable estimates how many cruise/ballistic missiles China will be able to produce and how fast they could scale it if they put their minds to it. Right now Russia and Ukraine seems to be able to push production rates to single digits per day, but they obviously don't have the china automation and scaling capacity. Or China money.

The bottle neck is not science. Make them design robots that build physical factories.
The most important new thing for me in this announcement is that XBOX is still alive.
The other is that Indian sounding C level names is the coupling constant of the enshittification field.
Time is an ingredient. Usually you are able to trade hands on for hands off time. Sous vide and pressure cooker. Sous vide - allows you to have a lot of protein ready for finishing. I usually have couple of beef skirtsteaks (24h at 56C), pork tenderloin (56, 4h) and shoulders (70C - 24h) ready to go. If your fridge have proper cold storage (under 4C) they keep forever. Since vacuuming one or ten is the same effort - saves a lot of time doing it in bulk.
Stove top pressure cooker - legumes in half an hour, perfect foolproof rice every time, perfectly boiled eggs, for a weekday dinner - throw some tough beef, carrot, onion, celery, wine and stock. go away for two hours - shred beef and finish under the broiler if feeling fancy, discard the veggies, concentrate the stock a bit.
Almost no knead bread - if you plan on fermenting for more than 12 hours minimal kneading is needed. Good protocol is - gather ingredients, mix for a short while in the mixer (or mix with a stick and then do couple of stretch and folds every 30 min for 2 hours), ferment overnight, shape and throw in the fridge, bake when dinner is ready.
Deserts - lava cake is surprisingly easy for the fanciness - nytimes recipe is spot on.
