The Obsolescence of Political Definitions V. E. McHale Defense I am not qualified to translate German, much less technical philosophical texts. However, Kondylis’ insights are criminally underappreciated and of interest to many today as they grapple with the dissolution of liberalism that Kondylis predicted in 1991–1992. Hopefully, his work will be translated with due care as its centrality is appreciated. The below is from Planetarische Politik Nach Dem Kalten Krieg, pp. 91–104 The Obsoles

Semlib Semlib is a Python library for building data processing and data analysis pipelines that leverage the power of large language models (LLMs). Semlib provides, as building blocks, familiar functional programming primitives like map , reduce , sort , and filter , but with a twist: Semlib's implementation of these operations are programmed with natural language descriptions rather than code.

Programming Deflation

The genies are out of the bottle. Let’s take as a given that augmented coding is steadily reducing the cost, skill barriers, and time needed to develop software. (Interesting debate to be had—another day.) Will this lead to fewer programmers or more programmers? Economics gives us two contradictory answers simultaneously. Substitution . The substitution effect says we'll need fewer programmers—machines are replacing human labor. Jevons’. Jevons’ paradox predicts that when something becomes c

AirPods Pro 3 Review: Skating to Where the Puck Is Going, Not Where It Has Been

2025 Almost three years after Apple introduced the original AirPods Pro 2 (updated with USB-C in 2023) with category-defining sound quality and active noise cancellation (ANC), I can safely say that just about every company making ANC wireless earbuds has caught up or surpassed them, and often with buds that are sold for less than $250. Basic wireless earbuds features—good audio, good ANC, and good battery life—are table stakes, and each of these is improved on AirPods Pro 3. Apple’s third-gen

Writing a Good AI Image Prompt Isn't Hard, but You Need These Essential Elements

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-05 19:05:03

One of the first things I learned while testing AI image generators is that there are a lot of things that can go wrong when you're trying to get the image you see in your head to appear on your screen. If you've ever used an AI image or video generator, you know what I mean. I've spent the past year testing and reviewing different AI image generators, and I've generated hundreds of images across services like Google's nano bananas model, Midjourney and Dall-E.
