This is the inflection point for the beginning of culling of the intellectual class. If not physically, atleast economically and socially.
A few arrests and a few in detention centres, will be enough to make them fold and grovel.
They are now categorised as "radical left" and woke.
The elections will be controlled to "prevent the radical left take over of the greatest country on the planet".
edit : The stage is also being set for total media control. My prediction is that the next target will be Google, specifically Youtube. You should start seeing talks about how the radical left is inflitrated youtube.
And its corrupt, immoral and unethical, run by power hungry assholes who are not being held accountable, headed by the asshole who does a million illegal things every day.
Ultimately, Anthropic will fold.
All this is to show to their investors that they tried everything they could.
It is not clear to me that the power here lies with the US Govt.
Imagine Anthropic is declared a "supply chain risk" thus cannot be used by all sorts of big industry players. How will the CEOs of those companies feel about the govnt telling them they cannot use what their engineers say is the best model? How many of those CEOs have a direct line to powermakers?
How many of those CEOs are already making the phone calls? The "supply chain" threat is a threat to every US company that currenly uses Anthropic.
Oh, and that includes Palentir, who is deeply embedding in the govt.
Side example: remember the 6 congresspeople who made the video about military orders? They won.
Anthropic probably can’t fold, they might lose an existential number of researchers if they did. This is literally an unstoppable force meets an immovable object situation.
Hegseth probably folds. It would be too unpopular for him to take either of the actions he threatened.
Pretty much any SQL book will cover it those, and there's a bunch of online SQL tutorials. UDF means user defined function, so if there's some function you want to perform in SQL but that function doesn't come out of the box, you can just write your own. And those can be defined in non-SQL syntax, such as UDF's written in python or C++, which can be pretty handy.
I analyzed all the major frameworks years ago and went with Svelte when svelte 5 came out. It is all I use now, the development team is highly responsive and cooperative with the community, the founder Rich Harris has a pragmatic approach and tries to keep it as compatible with html/js while still providing great DX and massive efficiency. It natively supports serverside rendering that turns into a SPA once it hits the browser.
Angular is probably more efficient than react but The DX is going to be worse than svelte or vue.
If you want the fastest apps in environments with low ping then use Qwik.
If you want the best overall experience, great customizability, compatability with any js package, great efficiency in most situations, and a great developer experience just go with Svelte (or vue maybe).
Angular might be fine, I don't know. I never used it extensively. But I do know that svelte is the only framework that I like using now.
It's a single wafer, not a single compute core. A familiar equivalent might be putting 192 cores in a single Epyc CPU (or, more to be more technically accurate, the group of cores in a single CCD) rather than trying to interconnect 192 separate single core CPUs externally with each other.
On a side track, I wish to express my fears regarding AI
Unfortunately for the general populace, most technological improvements in information technology, for the past 5 decades, has lead to loss of political control and lessened their leverage for political change.
With AI, this change is going to be accelerated a 100 times.
With current AI slop, and more importantly, almost indistinguishable from reality, AI based content, the populace is going slowly learning to reject what they see and what they hear from mass media.
AI has muddied the pool so much, that every fish, us, cannot see the whole pool. What this will lead to, is for political figures and bad actors to, much more easily almost with no effort at all, create isolation among people.
No event will create a mass uprising, because no event can be believed by a common mass. It will be easy to generate an alternative reality using the same AI.
Now, the political class and the billionaire class, are free to act with impunity, because the last check on their power, the power of mass media to form public opinion, to inspire the masses to demand change or accountability, has eroded to the point of no return. (They have already captured the institutions of public power)
I fear for the future of humanity.
Edit : There are already troubling signs from the billionaire class regarding this. There is a narrative to "ensure guardrails" for AI, sort of giving the populace the idea that once that is done, AI is acceptable. This is like saying, "better have a sleeve on the knife, so that no one can cut with it, but use it as a prop in a movie"
They are creating this narrative that AI is inevitable.
They are fear mongering that AI is going to take jobs, which it will, but it also goads the capable ones to get on to the bandwagon and advance AI further.
Mass media has been going to shit for a long time anyway. People have always chosen to believe tons of insane things.
AI will cause plenty of problems of course, because it puts a powerful tool in the hands of those who shouldn't use it, but also, many people shouldn't drive cars or use the internet.
AI is inevitable, just as calculators and computers were. I suspect that no humans will write code by hand in a not so distant future. The machines will be far too effective.
Personally, I love the acceleration we're seeing since the coming of computers. The internet is a big black mirror, scary, beautiful, and ugly, just like us. AI feels similar to me.
Will some things get worse because of AI? Probably. But maybe it'll also help to save us from ourselves. If nothing else, it will probably force some investment into long overdue security, identity, and trust issues.
Good luck trying to take something back from the populace once already given for decades, even if it is in a limited form.
It's a desperate attempt, that really shows how cornered the administration is.
Any power that fears information, has to have a highly fine grained, high level control of information to maintain power. This is absolutely difficult, in a country as culturally diverse and with a long history as Iran.
This has been the administration's response to such events for multiple times over the last 6 years (3 times to be exact, plus during the time of war with Israel) and the claim has always been Iran wants to shutdown internet forever. But in all those cases the access was re-enabled after a few or several weeks.
Right now the internet access is widening and some areas are already back to normal internet — but it hasn't been stable over the past week. https://radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/ir
"In addition to the central bank, it seems as though regular Iranians are seeking the perceived safety of cryptocurrencies as unrest disrupts the country and the economy collapses."
The camera would probably only need to look at a very small section at high speed. They could be specifically made to film the tracks or the wheels of the train. Such cameras exist. Not cheap, but even some YouTubers have similar ones, to film high speed impact videos of things going much faster than trains. Might be worth it for trains.
I never came across this. Found DBeaver and using it since then.
