That's what I said yes, by it's very definition, no current contemporary government is a democracy.

I'm not necessarily picky with every word we use informaly. As you noticed with green washing, which here was colloquially used as "bullshit to pretend to be virtuous because manipulating public opinion open some hope to control its behavior".

But when it comes to the official fundamental statement of what the government ruling people is pretending to be, I do expect something more aligned with the first degree interpretation of the words.

Republic means there is no State secret.

Democracy means that citizen rules and decides the laws.

I have the firm conviction that asking better than newspeak level nomenclature is not asking for perfection. That just mere basic honesty.

Consenting that utter lies to serve as base political denomination with the excuse that nothing is perfect is just lazily opening doors to broader harsher lies for those willing to gain carte blanche on exercising political power with a flow of void sentences.

> There's no good description of the actual ban here?

The first sentence of this article links to information about the ban itself.

Later in the article it summarizes how it is enforced.

> Schools have rolled out a range of strategies, with most schools either collecting phones at arrival and storing them in lockers or distributing magnetic pouches that have to be locked and unlocked at the beginning and end of the day.

The loss of attention, the erosion of reading and math skills as of 2025 are quantified, not anecdotal.

You keep ignoring: the basic science of creativity, imagination, learning all stem from free navigation and vicarious, trail and error path integration. It is deductive that devices that impair this impair learning. Learning is based on free exploration of space. Mammalian intelligence is way-finding that stitches together landmark and non-landmark space.

The idea you can't see a relationship between pre-school, three year-old impairment, short-form cyberbullying (in teens) and teen loss of learning, retention, attention-span, creativity, suggests you are the subject group. If you can't reason correlationally, than science is beyond your grasp. Your statements are only narrative and narrow, you pretend to grasp ideas and information, then make arbitrary statements.

That was the tip of the iceberg, that list.

Phones damage children's lives in multi-dinemsisons of emotional, memory, learning capability. You may be the study group's ideal subject. Face that possibility.

> If 99% of the population don't care about your issue, you're not going to win the political fight

Indeed, that's why I'm not very hopeful about the future of our privacy.

We will need technical solutions to Chat Control of course, but that's just the last step. First we need to crack open iOS and Android with anti-trust enforcement. An uncensored chat app is useless if we can't install it on our devices without government approval.

Unfortunately a significant portion of the tech community is in favor of these walled ~~prisons~~ gardens. Anything we try to do is doomed to fail without freedom to do what we want with devices we own, so until we get past that hurdle I'm hopeless that we'll be able to do anything about Chat Control.

I suspect many of the people on social media who use the word fascism could not define it

I think George Orwell was right when he said it has lost most of its meaning

https://www.orwell.ru/library/articles/As_I_Please/english/e...

>It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless

>By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’.

If you're quick you can see a Windows runner tunneling a Hello World server over Tor: https://github.com/BrowserBox/ariadne/issues/19

There were a few tricks here, especially for Windows. Background jobs can get garbage collected between steps so you need to run as a scheduled task on Windows runners.

Tailscale required a bit of debugging to figure out my normal VPN was black-holing tailnet packets.

Cloudflare, ngrok, localhost.run and Tunnelmole were all quite simple to set up. Tho figuring out the correct way to automatically parse the localhost.run JSON in a script took a bit.

It's cool to have the runner controllable via an issue control panel using tasklists as checkboxes. I experimented with GitHub Issues Forms, but found they didn't give what I wanted here.

I do personally believe that Charlie Kirk has done some damage to societal perceptions of transgender people.

With that said, the person asked how Charlie's quote could stoke violence, and then you invented a significantly stronger, more inciteful quote (something Charlie didn't say) as an answer for why it stoked violence.

This is not a response that will convince people of your position. I'm not sure on the best way to do that, but I believe it starts by staying clear about what was actually said.

You should speak with an "IP" lawyer - the AI may not be creating "Intellectual Property" as that's currently the purview of humans only. Not even that grinning Macaque owned the copyright on his adorable selfie. Of course, you should consult a lawyer, because ultimately, you'll have to have a court trial to figure it all out.

The slider component's label just appears and disappears and looks a bit out of place in dark mode (this was the first thing I noticed on mobile). The switch isn't draggable and doesn't react to presses.

These were a lot less obvious than with some other libraries (including ones claiming to be meticulously designed ...) and I have to extend some props for almost everything that animates in also animating out (almost everybody messes this up and it irritates me a lot, just leave it unanimated if you're not going to finish it ...).

In total I think this is a pretty high quality library. Definitely not bad!

I don't feel that their data supports the assertion that Netflix films are categorically worse. User-reported opinions have very wide error bars.

Netflix's motivation is different from that of theatrical-release studios. The latter rewards each movie individually; did people see it? Netflix just needs you to keep subscribing to the service; it's much harder to attribute success or failure to a picture.

The spending budget graph is more interesting: Netflix spends less, while reaping huge overall profits. I'm glad that they're spending that making a huge variety of films. Often, they're targeted to audiences who aren't me. Which means that they also sometimes make films for which I am the perfect target audience. I've loved several things that everybody hated. (Cowboy Bebop comes to mind; there were others.)

The statewide ban is a new thing, but phones were already banned when I went to school decades ago, along with gameboys, MP3 players, and all other electronics except a calculator. If you had it out in class, it would get taken away.

That kids were ever allowed smartphones to begin with is a regression from the status quo we had not long ago.

Did you read TFA? It gives concrete advice on how to change the training and eval of these models in order to decrease the error rate. Sure, these being stochastic models, the rate will never reach zero, but given that they are useful today, decreasing the error rate is worthy cause. All this complaining on semantics is just noise to me. It stems from being fixated on some airy-fairy ideas of AGI/ASI, as if anything else doesn't matter. Does saying that a model "replied" to a query mean we are unwittingly anthropomorphizing them? It's all just words, we can extend their use as we see fit. I think "confabulation" would be a more fitting term, but beyond that, I'm not seeing the problem.

So you were called out over on Nostr by Final regards the Tor app which you mistakenly took to be integrated when they simply showed the app and it running on the OS, not IN it and decided to come to HN for an anti-Graphene sympathetic ear?

The reply you were called out for, for other people's benefit: It's not bundled. It isn't going to be bundled. This is a post showing a work in progress beta app that most users have not seen before. This app is developed officially by Tor to hopefully replace Orbot, it is informational content.

"GrapheneOS has long been suspicious about the revenue values it receives." GrapheneOS Foundation is a registered Canadian non profit that declares it's accounts and has filed accounts registered against them for this year and last year too. Nothing is suspicious.

From a forensic perspective? You don't provide ANY forensic basis or evidence for anything you claim.

You prefer Chinese devices? Suggesting people use something known to be objectively less secure on a technical level and known to be closely tied to the Chinese government/military and not legally able to refuse their requests is strange. Even if US gov is the only threat you consider, this makes little to no sense. Especially when it has been revealed that forensic analysis firms used by the US LE agencies have revealed that they see GrapheneOS Pixel devices to be the hardest if not impossible to extract especially in BFU state. There is a reason European LE agencies and their media have gone to extra lengths to smear users as criminals due to how stymied they are in extracting data. A job you want to make easier by making ludicrous hypersensationalised claims based solely in the realm of fantasy.

Sometimes the org is so big, nobody wants to put any effort into knowing who the admin even is.

Nowadays I'm in ADO, I still want a unified UI for any and all ticketing systems that allows me a consistent UI regardless of JIRA or even ADO. I'm tired of so many different workflows that make no sense.

But they all claim to be scrum / agile.

Yes, they are alreading sharpening their forks and oiling their torches. I think officially recognizing it ("Jews are bad") will drive normal people to don't consider them (the extremists / nazi) conspiracy nuts anymore, because of a "they / we were right all the time" discourse.

I apologize for basically repeating myself. I just wanted to refer to the conspiracy theories you mentioned because calling them that is, ironically, constructive.

I'm literally reading them now in this HN comment section.

Surreal it is. Even if you were a twisted leftist who was totally happy with this, you'd think you'd keep quiet, or at least limited it to "he was mean but violence bad ok?" - but can't hold back their implicit support for the killing - almost peeved that we're bothered about his killing and not focusing on the mean things he said.

Like, the brazenness of it.

Even the dishonesty of your own comment - what prominent left wing figure would be so demented as to destroy their career by publicly supporting this, even if they do in fact support it.

The real mentality of the left are what we're seeing freely spewing out onto the internet now. They literally are as vile and twisted as all their strongest critics have said.

I am Bun's biggest fan. I use it in every project I can, and I write all my one-off scripts with Bun/TS. That being said, I've run into a handful of issues that make me a little anxious to introduce it into production environments. For instance, I had an issue a bit ago where something simple like an Express webserver inside Docker would just hang, but switching bun for node worked fine. A year ago I had another issue where a Bun + Prisma webserver would slowly leak memory until it crashed. (It's been a year, I'm sure they fixed that one).

I actually think Bun is so good that it will still net save you time, even with these annoyances. The headaches it resolves around transpilation, modules, workspaces etc, are just amazing. But I can understand why it hasn't gotten closer to npm yet.

> I'm very interested to hear if you have personal experience to the contrary. However if you are not involved in anything, then you have no right to criticise those who are.

I do. Am I allowed to speak now? There is no wide solidarity in both directions. If the Palestine block joins a queer demonstration and uses dog-whistles like paraglider symbolism in their communication, the messaging surely isn't solidarity with queer people. And soon thereafter, all you will see is Palestine flags, hear "Palestine 43" until the demonstration gets dissolved because someone says something wildly antisemitic, gets removed by the police, which causes riot. But hey, queer life got no reason to have their voices heard these days. Somebody may get a whole lot less free, until everyone is free, I guess.

But in any case, how fucking dare you, I have every right to criticize whatever I want. You don't know anything about the person you casually guilt-tripped above, maybe you should take that into consideration when talking speech rules.

You're right - I'm so used to looking at the probabilities waterfall diagram where there's always some percent for status quo I glanced right over it not being there.

In the time since I originally posted that the 400-425 basis point level has dipped another 2%, with that amount going towards a 50 basis point cut. Very muddy waters indeed.

Powell has been adamant about fighting inflation so I struggle to understand how the market gives a zero percent chance of status quo.

Excellent news.

Though what bothers me is all the high schools mentioned are the top prestigious ones you had to apply to, not zoned. Brooklyn Tech, Gramercy Arts, Bronx Science, I'm surprised no comments from Stuyvesant students.

> Alia Soliman, a senior at Bronx Science, said cards “are making a big comeback.” She said kids are playing poker when they’re done with their work in some classes.

Ha! When I was in NYC high school in the 90s we were not allowed to have playing cards or dominoes. The staff would confiscate them because it was believed to encourage gambling. Quite amusing that now they are the saving a generation of kids from mindless scrolling.

I got a 16 (mostly because of the USB-C) and returned it before the 30day return period was over. It was a noticeable downgrade compared to my SE 2022.

Currently trying to get a solid postmarketOS setup so I can switch back to Linux before the SE goes out of support. Apple really doesn't offer an upgrade path from this device.

I'll take getting nothing done, if that means the tax records and social security records stay secret. I'll also take nothing getting done over an un-elected, previously-illegal effort like DOGE. You have no idea what I think of the place we're in, but as far as government policy goes, nothing changing is a great default. Make a case for the change, including a cost/benefit breakdown, then we can talk.

Sigh.

Try again.

The thread is about how an "At last I got mine" attitude towards making money from government propaganda ad revenue is a shit attitude.

You are the one who is out here building windmills to tilt at about bans on government propaganda. That's not something I ever suggested. Nor is it even germane to the thread. Again, you are engaging in some elementary school level straw manning.

One does not need to ban government propaganda, or propaganda generally, to avoid being proud to be paid to spread it. Consider: you could be not proud you sold that ad space. You could not sell that ad space to those people. You could not sell ad space generally. I'm sure one could come up with other ideas as well.

I hope you see now how infantile your diversions are, how juvenile the comments around thinking around corners. You wandered completely off topic and seem quite upset I didn't follow you there, then invented a version of me that did to fight.

>value from popular decree and public trust

There is very much a third way it can gain value and that is features. I and many other value mass acceptance below anonymity, privacy and decentralization. There is a small but steadily growing community of people accepting monero https://monerica.com

There is always the way to swap them for other coins like bitcoin with all there drawbacks.

I could have sworn they have had this for a while... Nice that it is Arch Based, I wonder if they bothered to look at Arkane Linux which is also atomic, and the maintainer has all his scripts on how to do it available for anyone to make their own spin. I feel like it could have been beneficial for both KDE and the maintainer of Arkane Linux to work together.

I'm not very hopeful about politics generally, for that very reason. The obvious solution is to work to make politics less of a determinant of outcomes.

> First we need to crack open iOS and Android with anti-trust enforcement.

Another political solution? Not going to happen. We need to work towards a functional mobile OS ecosystem that isn't controlled by Apple, Google, or the government. That won't be easy, and won't offer any immediate short-term options, but work is already in progress, and will in the long run be far more effective than waiting for politics to save us.

Honestly? No, it doesn't, but maybe suspension of disbelief isn't the right wording.

Typically, when I play games, I build up some sort of mental model of how the game's meant to function, and how the game's creators want me to experience it. eg: running into useless/limited dialog trees with an NPC tells me it's not important. Not being able to do something tells me that thing isn't relevant (although sometimes, I guess it is fun to try something fruitless for a while). It doesn't have to be perfect but it helps if it's consistent.

What I understand about programming and game design leads me to accept there are going to be limitations encountered and tradeoffs made, so they rarely bother me beyond the first time I experience it.

With a more open-ended, AI-driven experience, I think I'd just end up wondering if the interactions I'm getting make sense, if they should be taken seriously, etc. I do think games have a lot of artistry (design, assets, writing, etc) behind them, and I suspect having "live" AI-generated stuff would distract me by making me wonder if I'm actually getting the right vision.

It's all speculative, of course. Maybe I'd try it out and find it cool. It's certainly not something I think shouldn't be attempted. :)

This dichotomy exists, and the author states the illusion of "competent" vs "incompetent", but I think it's more "Conscientious" vs "Indifferent". Tech business competition breeds indifference, because when you optimize around minimizing technical debt, your competitor will eat your lunch with worse code. Lots of competent engineers incur tons of technical debt, because they'll eventually be paid to swim in it, and they don't care. Open source projects tend to be written with much more care, because the reward mechanism is different.

I think it doesn't help that outrage generates the most engagement out of any emotion

So the algorithms that prioritise engagement reward outrage, and the social media users who want to be engaged with tend towards posting outrage

It leads to people sitting around being angry at something or someone for hours on end, multiple days a week (if not daily)

It doesn't lead to a healthy mind or a healthy society

1. You should add a URL when you you create a post on HN. You can indent code two spaces on HN, eg:

Stack s; stack_init(&s); dict_init(); exec(&s, "10 20 + ."); // Prints "30" exec(&s, "1 2 3 4 .s"); // Shows stack contents

2. Your readme mentions a repl but I don't see it in the source code.

3. I'm not an expert in C but I thought header files shouldn't have code in them. The code should be in a .c file

4. Maybe move the code from USAGE into its own .c file.

#include "stacklib.h" int main() { Stack s; stack_init(&s); dict_init(); exec(&s, "10 20 + ."); printf("\n"); return 0; }

This MoM increase was higher than about 70% of previous changes on the same interval. It's not so extreme that we can reasonably infer from it a looming disaster. Looking at the 7 month change (year to date), 63% of the time you'd see a higher increase than this. The "direction of travel is up", but that's almost always the case.
