The Harvard Law School Library's Nuremberg Trials Project is an open-access initiative to create and present digitized images and full-text versions of the Library's Nuremberg Trials documents, descriptions of each document, and general information about the trials. The project provides access to the documentary record and other associated materials for all thirteen trials. We currently offer page images and searchable document descriptions for all documents as well as searchable full-text versions for most prosecution exhibits and most of the trial transcripts. Both prosecution and trial exhibits as well as all trial transcripts are currently only offered in the English-language versions used at the time of the Trials. Important: when citing from documents and transcripts, always verify the exact wording by consulting the accompanying page images of the document in question. The full-text versions of transcripts and documents are a product of human- and computer-aided transcription and may deviate in small ways from the originals.

> but for the hobbyist it makes no difference if the processor on the Arduino is an Atmel or an ARM.

I don't think anyone was arguing they cared about Atmel vs ARM. In fact, the point of Arduino is to make that not even something a user would need to know.

The argument is Linux vs Bare metal Arduino are vastly different user experiences and complexities.

Oh, please. Do you not understand that OP shouldn't have needed to submit a takedown request in the first place? Add the repos' license files (and NOTICE files too, if Apache!) to your site like you're legally required to, or the next time this happens it won't be a HN post; it'll be a lawsuit.

Seriously, you're playing with fire and it's not doing anything to help your brand. People already look at Vercel with disdain, and this is exactly why.

>It's not necessarily caused by anything external. Y

Then how could a drug fix it? We're positing that there is not only a mechanism causing it, but that this mechanism can be manipulated external to their own self/agency/whatever.

I think that it is at least as absurd to posit that you can come up with one chemical substance or another that will alleviate their depression when you dismiss the idea of coming up with a sequence of words spoken to them that might alleviate their depression. It's the conceit that we have a better idea of how their brains work chemically than we do of how their brains work cognitively.

The closest social equivalency to public school socialization I can think of is prison. You're stuck there for N hours per day with limited or zero control over what other people you're around. Maybe parts of military training might also be similar.

That's the kind of thing that is very much not like the "real world." It's more than just being "exposed" to less optimal peers (like you would on a bus), it's an entirely different social experience.

I'm an advocate for safe dependency usage.

I can't in good conscience, say "Don't use dependencies," which solves a lot of problems, but I can say "Let's be careful, out there," to quote Michael Conrad.

I strongly suspect that a lot of dependencies get picked because they have a sexy Website, lots of GH stars and buzz, and cool swag.

I tend to research the few dependencies that I use. I don't depend lightly.

I'm also fortunate to be in the position where I don't need too many. I am quite aware that, for many stacks, there's no choice.

Maybe, maybe not. But that day isn't today.

> So....you better get on board, or retired/fire first!

Just no. This sort of hard-sell is objectionable and manipulative. Perhaps it will become essential at some point, and if it does, then I can "get on board" at that time. If it becomes so great that I find it actually helpful, I won't even need anyone to demand I use it. I'll use it eagerly of my own accord.

Why is it so important to you that people rush into this if they aren't excited by it?

The advantage of the EXIF approach is you don't have to do nearly as much post processing of the data? In particular, I don't expect my camera application to need to change memory layout just because I have rotated my camera. So, if you want it to change the rows/columns on saving the image, that has to be post capture from the sensor. Right?

I think this is what you meant by "some systems" there. But, I would expect that of every sensor system? I legit never would have considered that they would try the transpose on saving the image off the sensor.

I'd like to see metrics on that. But intuitively I'd say AI is faster.

Basically it's opening the tab and typing your thought vs speed running paint.

@sandermvanvliet what was the process and how long do you estimate it took you?

Personally it would take me awhile to find the template, the exact font and get the positioning just right.

I could make a crude one fast, and I've seen many crude versions of this meme. But matching the font is a bit more work, maybe there's a generator for it, but that's not paint nor do I know where it exists.

I think your reasoning is flawed, but fine...if the goal is to try and have the cheapest possible one room school house. That $200k gets eaten up pretty quick by things like security, janitorial, building maintenance, support staff like principals, librarians, guidance counselors etc etc. If you’re meaning to include total cost for the full time employees (the teachers) in the list, then the salaries are a lot less attractive once you’re done covering benefits, etc.

I've got multiple kids, so I'll admit I think about schools here a lot. The absolute cheapest private schools I've seen in San Francisco are subsidized by religious institutions. The tuition for those schools per child is roughly $28k. Non religious private schools usually start in the $40k range and can easily get into the $50s and well beyond.

My point is that it's hard to point at some issue of inefficient public bureaucracy, because clearly private institutions aren't able to do it any cheaper. I would also argue they wouldn't try, because their goal is a good education, or at least better than the public alternative (that only spends $28k per kid).
by bluesummers5651 | 2025-11-21 21:30:59+00:00
I feel this pain. I grew up in what I thought were great public schools and am a big believer that public school is a fundamental institution that should raise the floor for society. Now I'm raising kids in Seattle and it's a constant struggle to get the kinds of educational programs and opportunities for my kids that I took for granted when I was in public school and just assumed would still be around when I was an adult. For lack of a better way to phrase it, I feel like I am exactly the kind of parent SPS should want to keep in its system - a strong believer in public education with the means to support the schools, yet sometimes I feel like they are actively driving families like mine out of school system with their decisions.

My understanding with SSRIs and other depression meds is that they are hit and miss for anyone. I have a family member who, as a teen, suffered from severe depression and didn't want to live. Therapy wasn't able to help - it was actually the therapist who recommended more drastic measures such as medication. And so they tried Prozac and that worked. Having seen the reversal myself, it's hard to understand how this is placebo.

First, the software is available whether you buy the board or not.

Second, there's no real difficulty barrier, not anymore. There are point-and-click tools, free integrated IDEs, cheap programming dongles, etc. There are more tutorials for Arduino than the underlying chip, and I'm not saying that doesn't matter - but it boils down to the community, not the hardware.

> "Having an objectively crappy life is normal. Being depressed about it isn't."

Sounds like a philosophy more than a science. What does "normal" even mean in this context? Are we talking about something measurable? For instance, if the number of people who were depressed about those circumstances doubled (or quadrupled) would it then be normal, and there would be no reason to treat it (because it's normal)?

If you have an objectively crappy life, but not just ignore it and instead are incapable of even noticing, that sounds a little like dysfunction to me. It's not some superpower, it's a micro-lobotomy.

It's easy to say "keep it simple" when you don't consider that Law is a centuries, or millenia, old legacy codebase that no one has lived long enough to truly understand the whole of. Yes, there's a lot of things that don't make sense because it was written 300 years ago for something technological progress has eliminated, or because it was some niche edge case made for a specific issue that doesn't exist anymore.

We unfortunately can't just throw it out and start a new codebase like we do in tech. Or at least, I don't see much interest in that.

15+ years ago, that might have been the case. Now, you might find some friends in the 3-8 year old range, but then the kids just...don't do things anymore. In both suburban neighborhoods I've lived in the past 10 years, there are basically zero middle school or high school kids doing anything except playing video games and messing around on their phones from the comfort of home. School is quite literally the only social interaction most of these kids get aside from their parents, and if they didn't go to school, they'd just spend more time playing video games or on their phones.

Outside of the coasts or university towns, there aren't any "mathematicians" with kids just waiting around to form homeschooling groups with you.
by sbuttgereit | 2025-11-21 21:33:59+00:00
You think avoiding these things are why people are thinking about homeschooling?!

In San Francisco where I live the public school system made the decision to not offer algebra until later for egalitarian reasons. Basically since they couldn't bring up the students that faired poorly in math, they delayed the subject for everybody. Along the same lines, they took the one high school dedicated to the highest achieving students and turned it into a lottery system rather than something earned.

Yes, of course you're right, kids will be competing on all those subjects. But the idea that public institutions are somehow the safeguards of fundamental academic achievement is just out of touch.

Of course, San Francisco public school's embrace of socialist/egalitarian drive identity politics is just one example of public education failure. Elsewhere in the US in these times, other school districts are being turned effectively into seminaries because the other political side has other doctrinal objectives. In neither case is learning how to think or how the world really works is important.

Sure, but Apple isn't selling their silicon to anyone else and Valve, successful as they are, don't have Apples money and economy-of-scale to throw at designing their own state-of-the-art CPU/GPU cores and building them on TSMCs state-of-the-art processes. Valve will have to roll with whatever is available on the open market, and if that happens to suck compared to Apples stuff then tough shit.

A “cooldown” is exactly what it sounds like: a window of time between when a dependency is published and when it’s considered suitable for use.

My understanding of a cooldown, from video games, is a period of time after using an ability where you can't use it again. When you're firing a gun and it gets too hot, you have to wait while it cools down.

I was trying to apply this to the concept in the article and it wasn't quite making sense. I don't think "cooldown" is really used when taking a pie out of the oven, for example. I would call this more a trial period or verification window or something?
by lurking_swe | 2025-11-21 21:35:23+00:00
what you say is true. But consider, the “cost” of going back part time is not very big. It’s not very stressful, and _greatly_ reduces long term risk.

Your take is a bit like saying in the year 2000 “i believe Apple is an amazing company, i’ll go ALL IN with my life savings”. If you’re right the you think you’re a genius. But what if you were wrong? What if apple turned out like IBM? Then you’d look back and think “how could i have been so stupid? so naive”.

Finally is fucking right - the iPad has been manufactured for fifteen years ignoring these oversights and only now does Apple admit they're necessary.

I'd go buy an iPad tonight if Apple pushed an update that gave the iPad native Vulkan drivers. Then I could use the hardware to play real non-gatcha video games, accelerate ordinary inference servers or, gasp, develop complex software for ordinary non-Apple platforms. Alas, we've got to wait another 15 years before Apple gives up milking Monument Valley and microtransaction slop to consider our needs again.

It's so exhausting. I'm glad I left Apple's ecosystem instead of waiting for the iPad to consider my needs.

The 2nd amendment is different from the Castle doctrine. You can have the 1st one without the 2nd one.

A militia to deter occupiers is different from protecting one's own house. And cases like this go beyond the Castle doctrine. This made had no legit fear for his life. Wiggling keys in a door and jiggling door handle don't equal legit fear. You have to at least identify a threat. This shooter was irresponsible and wrecked it for many other responsible people.

This sort of reactionary post is a tiring as the motivating situation. Here's a big difference: aside from all the circular investments the companies at the root of AI have huge earnings and did so before the boom as well.It's convenient to say "Look at all these declines in the past month! The end is nigh!" - maybe expand your chart to 12 months or even 5 years. You can argue against Nvidia but if you do they've made you look foolish 3 pivots in a row. Are companies very expensive right now? Absolutely. Are there a lot of frothy valuations and looming failures? Probably - I think so. Is this just like the Internet bubble? Beyond the generic basics, no.

> You cannot necessarily just "figure out why" you feel bad

Well, of course, if you anesthetize someone they can't feel anything. If you cut off the physical pathways of ""feeling sad"" then they can't feel sad, but is that really the same as "fixing" the reason for why they were feeling sad in the first place?

Unless the reason was that the physical causes are running haywire and making someone feel sad when they otherwise wouldn't, but how often is that just uhh a lazy scapegoat? "Oh this person has no reason to feel sad, something must be wrong in their brain"

The NNT[1] of Prozac, and SSRIs in general, has been previously estimated around 6. Meaning that treatment is more helpful than a sugar pill in only 1 out of 6 cases (a dirty secret).

Meanwhile the NNH[2] is as low as 21, that is 1 in 21 cases will stop due to negative side effects.

Vague "educational reasons" is always the noble-sounding excuse they use, but often if you dig deeper they'll admit it's more about the various forms of separatism.

Sometimes you don't have to dig. A ton of moms in my wife's church group permanently pulled their kids out of public school in recent years, and they will openly admit that it's about keeping their kids away from "those" people, where the definition of "those" runs the gamut.

I hear this a lot, and it may be true, but I am very skeptical that it matters. The statistics about home-schooled children don't support the idea that they have horribly inaccurate models of the world guided mostly by religious thinking. Or if they do it doesn't seem to affect life achievement in any important way. Instead home-schooled children are typically more advanced at graduation and have higher lifetime achievement metrics than their public school counterparts.

As an athiest, and a bayesian, it's difficult for me to worry about other peoples religious beliefs that don't seem to negatively affect them or me. Especially when there is propaganda taught in the public schools that does warp the students' world views in ways that harms them and me.

This is one where I don't quite get the angle of hosting locally to preserve privacy.

By nature of the economic system, you must interact with 3rd parties, unless you somehow live a life where you can manage to be all crypto or (increasingly harder) cash based. At that point, there is no real benefit to privacy outside of ensuring that whatever institution(s) you work with aren't doing anything odd.

I'm open to missing something here.

The implied promise was that these things were going to “revolutionize the workplace” i.e. massively automate middle class office jobs

A couple of years down the road, their useful applications still are summarizing text, transferring style to text, generating code under strict supervision, and generating images that need retouching.

That’s a lot to get out of a tool, but it’s dubious that investors were pouring trillions of dollars into these things thinking of automating away junior software engineers and low end design work.

Edit: I forgot their other niche, that of generating homework and school test answers

> What leads you to believe the reason parents are willing to dedicate huge amounts of their time and money to homeschool their children is racism?

A lot of the people I know who do homeschool (the extreme majority of families I know) have openly said the reasons why they're choosing to homeschool is because they don't want their kids exposed to the other "cultures" in their area whether that be immigrants, other religions, or LGBT people.

One family I know was thinking about pulling their kids out of public school because the choir was going to sing "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel" and was worried this was indoctrinating their child into another religion. Forget the fact the rest of that holiday choir event was filled with Christian holiday tunes and what that means for the non-Christians that have a right to go to the school, that wasn't a concern at all.

Not all families, I agree. I've known a few outliers who actually are exceptional teachers and think they'll do a better job teaching the kids than the local schools (and they're probably right). But they're definitely the outliers around me. Most that I've personally known are not like that, and rely on just giving their kids workbooks with extreme religious bent to figure things out on their own.
