I can't really comment on left-leaning equivalents, they don't really tend to bleed into my circles the way right wing ones do. I think Destiny is kind of a left wing equivalent?

I was mostly thinking about how the way they (that is, "debate me!" types) approach debate doesn't really lend itself to actual debate.

They love to throw around unnuanced statistics, relying on the ability to throw so much shit at the wall that the opponent doesn't have the time to dissect it on the spot. This one's poisonous because to viewers it lends legitimacy to numbers that may actually be deeply flawed.

Another popular tactic is to never clearly answer a question and constantly ask for more clarification than necessary. Eg when asked how many trans mass shooters there have been in some period of time, answer "too many", then when given the answer and asked how many mass shooters there have been in that period in general, deflect from the point by asking if that's counting gang violence (supposedly this is what Kirk was doing before he was shot, but I can't be sure).

With tactics like these, it's no wonder that people wisen up and begin refusing formal debate. Debating them lends legitimacy to people who are far less interested in being responsible about the truth.

A related aspect about this is age, Kirk was ~31, he's been at this since 2012. He didn't finish his college education, and his experience in politics "proper" was limited. If a 31 year old undergrad dropout with no experience in astrophysics went around claiming to debate astrophysicists on the nature of black holes, he'd be laughed off as a quack.

Many others are very similar, they are/were young and lacking in education and/or experience with what a meaningful debate looks like, instead assuming that debates work the way the idiot box likes to portray them.

Lincoln was concerned about national unity foremost, and allowing the south to preserve its identity facilitated that after the war. It may have been the most successful reconciliation after a bitter civil war ever in history. Regardless, the economic forces shaping the nation have been shifting around but ever present since the founding. We were fighting about a central bank in 1789 and are still fighting about it today!

We need to stop dismissing these comments and take them seriously. False claims like this are defamation, libel, and are inciting violence. I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure these are all crimes that we’ve just been shrugging off. These are the results.

If we want freedom of speech we need our speech to mean something and use it to seek the truth in good faith.

This is especially true for those holding political office or in the media. They should be held to a higher standard, as they are the example for the people.

> Korea is way too close to China to be relied on n a war against China

Enemy of thy enemy.

We protect Korea from the Kims. We also buy from them and treat them with dignity. Break those pillars and yes, China controls Asia and the Pacific in a way Yamamoto could have only dreamed of.

> and the war is mostly a defensive one for China

China holding Taiwan is a direct threat to the security of Seoul.

> I think you're basically ignoring my point

You didn’t clarify that by “everything that’s happening” as the preface to your suggestion that gun control is pointless you specifically meant “political assassination and no other gun deaths”. It’s reasonable that someone would see you say that gun regulation wouldn’t have an effect on gun deaths and think that you were talking about gun deaths generally.

It would actually be bizarre for a reader to read “everything that’s happening” and think “the person that wrote this is referring to the first shooting at a school today and specifically excluding the second shooting at a school today”

I've only skimmed both, but I'm under the impression that your article lays out the problem much clearly. For example, your article makes it much clearer than OP's that merge skew refers to the situation where two PRs submitted closer together than the test suite takes to run may indicate the tests pass for both branches, when both merged together would not pass.

Another user suggested that the OP article may be AI-generated or AI-assisted; I'm not confident one way or another, but it does have me questioning whether HN has any AI detection mechanisms (though I'm not sure how effective these will be as AI keeps evolving)

> Because his abhorrent ideas have already been rejected by civil society.

I hate to break it to you, but judging by the outcome of last year's election, this statement is provably false.

This means his opponents' ideas are by-and-large rejected by civil society, and the amazing irony is, he invited those ideas to be tested out in the open. Kirk gave a platform to ideas he and his audience abhor.

If someone's views are "too egregious" to be tested openly, it's almost always the case that the person suggesting this knows their own views wouldn't hold up. It's a tell that they know they've lost the argument, before it even happened. Calls for censorship and deplatforming are the key tell for how feeble a person is.

If their ideals are so great, why can't they survive under scrutiny?

i dont think passive is a good description of going out of his way to influence politics to enforce that his position is law.

improved gun control could have prevented his death, but he advocated hard against it, and fundraised against it.

he may not have actively pushed for people to kill somebody in particular, be he doubtlessly influence people to murder students on campus, and put effort to making sure that people would be able to continue to murder people in schools.

Before spending money on a subscription, buy an inexpensive notebook at the grocery store and use it to do pre-mortems, post-mortems, and to track your reasoning contemporaneously with your decision making. That will have a much bigger positive effect than simply receiving or even dutifully reading information from any of those sources.

And for one, Farnam Street essentially suggests doing the same thing.

The Nazis and the Communists were different flavors of collective society based governments that put the whole ahead of the individual with a tight control over the thoughts and behaviors of people. Government, business, and industry blended together and you couldn't be in business without sharing the ideology and sharing power with the government.

"not socialism" is nonsense by people who really like socialism, nazism was just a different flavor of socialism and saying otherwise has been part of the propaganda in favor of socialists for a century.

You can be nice and have a socialist society, but it's also a lot easier to have a dictator rise to power in a socialist society because it's easier to hijack the collectivist mindset into a collective with extreme loyalty to an autocrat. You just have to make them angry and afraid.

I personally believe that every violent death is tragic and should be avoidable.

But how many of us can say that they died for what they believe in? [1] Isn’t this really a personal victory for him at the end of the day?

> I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.

I hope he had solace and peace in his final moments, knowing that he kept true to his words right up until the end. Thanks for the sacrifice for our god given rights to stand up to a tyrannical government!

I knew Ani is a thing on X, but it never caught my attention because AI has been always work-related, not an entertainment to me. This is concerning to say the least.

It feels like this was more done initially to meet a quota. Lady reports to ICE she thinks illegals working there. ICE does some sorta check and realized there might be an issue with a couple and extrapolated it to all Asians working in the facility. Saw a big juicy chance to roll out the team and detain a ton of people thinking it make Bondi and Trump happy. Now Trump is stuck looking weak to Koreans (and in turn china and India) or weak to his base depending on who he sides with which right now looks to be his base.

Yeah, I agree. It's a poverty of ours that he's the most prominent "debater" we've seen. Ideally we'd have a few dozen folks, maybe even a whole culture that debates. That way I think it'd be harder for grifters to gain a huge following through slick edits and rhetorical tricks.

Nonetheless I think his killing will have more of a chilling effect on debate of any sort, though I'd like to proven wrong and see a more trend of more sober, thoughtful debate take hold.

I built this because I was spending hours "writing" but only producing a few paragraphs. The real problem wasn't writer's block, it was writer's paralysis. I'd write a sentence, then spend 10 minutes perfecting it, then delete it entirely.

The problem it solves:

Every writer knows this cycle: Write a sentence, immediately edit it, rewrite it, delete it, stare at blank page, repeat. You end up with perfect opening paragraphs and nothing else. I realized I needed something to force me past this perfectionist trap. So I built an app that deletes your words if you stop typing for more than 5 seconds.

How it works:

Start writing about anything. After 5 seconds of not writing, words start disappearing. Easy mode deletes from the end of your text. Hard mode randomly deletes words from anywhere (pure chaos). No undo allowed. The delete key is your only friend.

Why this actually helps you write:

The fear of losing your words creates a flow state. You can't overthink sentence structure when the clock is ticking. You write what you actually think instead of what you think sounds good. I've used it for a month and written 3x more content than usual. The quality? Surprisingly better. When you can't edit as you go, you capture raw thoughts and authentic voice instead of sterile, over polished prose.

Our team builds Kyva, a private AI workspace that deploys entirely within our customers' AWS environments (for data sovereignty reasons).

We've encountered several interesting technical challenges with this approach:

1. Deployment automation that works with customer IAM policies 2. Monitoring and troubleshooting without direct access 3. Updates and versioning across different customer environments 4. Handling variations in customer AWS configurations 5. Security best practices when you're essentially a "guest" in their cloud

For others who deploy software in customer cloud environments rather than SaaS: What tools, patterns or approaches have you found most effective? Any lessons learned the hard way?

There is only one "side", and they're die-hard. The left is a rag-tag group of misfits who simply don't identify as conservative for one reason or another, which is part of the reason it's so hard for the democratic establishment to find a message that resonates with such a varied and untethered group.

So no, no one is talking about "sideS." A single, cohesive group of people has been building an unearned narrative of persecution and victimhood as a pretext to lash out at and antagonize every person who isn't them.

Maybe not only encouragement, but it's certainly easier to quickly label any opposition as bots/trolls/idiots/woke/boomer/racist/commie/nazi/etc, ignore them, and move on online. Someone's single sentence to you wasn't a perfect pattern match for your acceptable criteria? No need to interact with them, just ignore them and move on. Better yet, get a quick swipe in on them to score some points with your in-group.
by al_borland | 2025-09-11 03:43:02+00:00
“Too many” sounds like a valid answer for any question about the number of mass shooters. Remove “trans” from the question and it’s still a valid answer. Substitute in any other demographic, and it’s still a valid answer (assuming someone from that demographic has been a shooter). Even one mass shooting is too many.

It sounds like more of a loaded question than a problematic answer.

> Turns out that an even easier way is just to assign 128 bits of randomness to each card and sort them by that. Degrades gracefully from biased sources, apparently.

This was edited in after my original response, so I didn't respond to it previously.

I won't generally do the work to find the attacks your bad security claims are susceptible to, but this one is trivial.

This does not degrade gracefully in any way. If your biased source of randomness generates the same numbers more than once, the items in the list are assigned the same number, so that sorting creates a bias toward the pre-shuffle ordering. This sort of collision is more common than one would intuit due to the birthday paradox[1] which is why this class of attacks is known as birthday attacks. In short, the birthday paradox amplifies problems of biased randomness sources rather than degrading gracefully.

In fact, this bias toward the pre-shuffle ordering still exists even with a perfect RNG, it's just going to be extremely unusual for a collision to occur in the space of 128 bits. But Fisher-Yates doesn't have this problem; why use an algorithm that we can easily prove is biased, even if the bias is negligible with proper PRNG?

Also, I really have to question your claim that this is even easier than Fisher-Yates. Fisher-Yates is not particularly complicated. Did you even bother to learn how Fisher-Yates works before assuming you could come up with a simpler solution than the industry standard?

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

EDIT: Another problem with all the algorithms you've proposed is that they can't be partially applied. A hand of 6max Texas Hold'em, the most common online poker variant, requires only 2x6 + 5 = 17 cards, and by partially applying Fisher-Yates you can select just the first 17 cards in the shuffled deck without having to know or generate the other 35. This will be faster and deplete your RNG slower, further decreasing the chance of bias.

There is room for nuanced conversation here. If the status quo in this thread is "violence is never justified" then I feel that flaggers and downvoters should justify their position with more nuance when confronted by a litany of human history that runs opposite of that notion.

I wonder at which point you consider locking this thread, if even a simple question asking for precision on a viewpoint is being flagged and downvoted.

What curious conversation is happening outside of the normal thoughts and prayers top comment and inane one-liner quotes. Seems like the mods had no problem whatsoever letting the other politically motivated assassinations get flagged away and removed swiftly. How interesting.

Forgive me if I will not celebrate this man's life.

This site is a consevative and fascist bastion that masquerades as an open and free thought forum. Your personal moderation efforts are evidence for that. That you timed me out for so long after unflagging the comment indicative of your bad faith.

> Two replies to this comment have failed to address my question. I must be missing something obvious.

Since one of these replies is mine, let me clarify.

From the documentation:

When using developer mode, watch for prompt injections and other risks, model mistakes on write actions that could destroy data, and malicious MCPs that attempt to steal information.

The first warning is equivalent to a SQL injection attack[0].

The second warning is equivalent to promoting untested code into production.

The last warning is equivalent to exposing SSH to the Internet, configured such that your account does not require a password to successfully establish a connection, and then hoping no one can guess your user name.

When the model S was created, they had a better design - open the handle a bit, and you get an electronic release. keep pulling it further and it will mechanically open the door.

Since then, tesla has been relentlessly cost reducing everything. First it was no dashboard on the model 3, and on and on into dangerous design.

Latest 3 has no turn signal stalks. No drive select stalk (it guesses). and lots of critical controls are not physical at all and are hidden in touchscreen menus.

The Koreans are so generous! I don't think that any other country would be so polite if they were humiliated like this [1] after they made such big investments in your country. I don't get the feeling that many in the US understand that you are the one at disadvantage when you disrespect your investors. Is it because the US has never faced a diplomatic backlash before? At the minimum, the aggrieved party would hold the rest of the investments hostage and force you into making major concessions.

Anyway, the way ICE treats immigrants is going to cost the US dearly, both in monetary and in reputational terms. The US may not care much about the dignity of the foreigners, but their parent countries do. The charade about 'illegal immigrants' won't work anymore, because clearly that's not what's happening. It's like the foreigners are targeted to prove a political point to the domestic audience. ICE is acting like a rogue force and is really asking to be outlawed and sanctioned internationally. I want to see how long the rest of the world will remain restrained before they've had enough of the ICE abuse.

[1] The news I got from a US source (don't remember which one) was that all of them except one were on valid temporary work visas to set up the plant and train the new US staff who would take over later. That one exception was also on a valid visa, but 'productive job' was not allowed. But he was there for training, so no violations there either.

I've been using KDE since before Wayland was a twinkle in RedHat's eye, so trust me when I say that Wayland has always come across as an afterthought from KDE. I'm not saying it was, but given all the issues KDE users have had with Wayland over the years it sure looked that way. If somebody I loved was having trouble with KDE the first thing I'd ask is if they had accidentally switched to Wayland (usually because of an upgrade). The majority of the time they'd check, sigh, and say yes. Switching back their problems would go away.

Reading this thread makes me want to try KDE/Wayland again, so probably on my next install I'll give it another shot. If it's still crap I think it's time to switch off of KDE.

Did the gun actually make you safer when retrieving your car or did it just make you feel safer? Did having the gun actually solve any problem, or just increase the chances of someone dying over a parked car?

Aren't there other potential ways to fix society from your example of your stolen car other than "we should just arm everyone"? Shouldn't the answer be we should have police actually help these situations and we should do more to reduce the rates of people living lives where they're more likely to steal a car in the first place?
