> I’ve encountered the same rhetoric, tactics, and moral framing in offline activist spaces for years, long before Bluesky or current platform dynamics. Online platforms don’t invent this; they surface and concentrate it.

Once again, we seem to be in agreement on this.

> The underlying attitudes -- maximalism, moral absolutism, tolerance for disruption, and readiness to analogize opponents to historical evil -- are not artifacts of bots or manipulation. They’re characteristic features of a political subculture.

These things are not mutually exclusive. It's both, and people (and their bots) across the entire political spectrum are guilty of involvement.

As far as I can tell, there is no rule requiring this wiki to be kept up to date (it's not run by ICANN, though they sponsor it), but I've had good luck with it. The wiki is updated fairly frequently: https://icannwiki.org/Special:RecentChanges . I wasn't able to find a list that proves it covers every TLD but there are about 9x as many articles as TLDs, so I think it's likely. Someone with better MediaWiki chops could probably figure it out. I think that information is there I just don't know how to access it.

ETA: This category lists 314 ccTLDs.

https://icannwiki.org/Category:CcTLD

There are 316 ccTLDs. So; it's either missing 2, or they are documented but not in the right category.

If you're looking for an authoritative source I think you should check out the PSL, but it doesn't have the right metadata to answer your question. You'd need to supplement it somehow.

Indeed, it's been great learning about the various interpretations as this idea took hold over the years!

What I wasn't able to properly highlight is how this belief has become a fundamental part of my day to day, moment to moment experience. I enjoy the constant and absolute knowledge that everything that's happening is my interpretation. And it gives me a superpower -- because for most of my life the world felt unforgiving and unpredictable. But it's actually the complete opposite, since whatever we interpret is actually in our control.

I also credit my understanding of this as a reality vs an intellectual concept to Siddhartha Gautam and his presentation of "samsara". But wherever it comes from, it is an inescapable idea and I encourage all HNers to dive deeper.

Collectible coins usually get melted as a last resort, if they stay on the shelf forever. The value of the metal is still in the coin though. Think about it: you could buy a very common coin with the same metal, or a slightly rare one. Which costs more? Now take the rare one and put a huge dent in it. Is it worth less than the metal content then?

I'm using the industry definition of abstraction [1]:

> In software, an abstraction provides access while hiding details that otherwise might make access more challenging

I read this as "an encapsulation of a concept". In software, I think it can be simplified to "named lists of operations".

> Historically pure machine code with jumps etc lacked any from of encapsulation as any data can be accessed and updated by anything.

Not practically, by any stretch of the imagination. And, if the intent is to write silly code, modern languages don't really change much, it's just the number of operations in the named lists will be longer.

You would use calls and returns (or just jumps if not supported), and then name and reference the resulting subroutine in your assembler or with a comment (so you could reference it as "call 0x23423 // multiply R1 and R2"), to encapsulate the concept. If those weren't supported, you would use named macros [2]. Your assembler would used named operations, sometimes expanding to multiple opcodes, with each opcode having a conceptually relevant name in the manual, which abstracted a logic circuit made with named logic gates, consisting of named switches, that shuffled around named charge carriers. Say your code just did a few operations, the named abstraction for the list of operations (which all these things are) there would be "blink_light.asm".

> If you pretend the train is actually going 80.2 MPH instead of somewhere between 80.1573 MPH to 80.2485 MPH which you got from different sensors you don’t need to do every calculation that follows twice.

I don't see this as an abstraction as much as a simple engineering compromise (of accuracy) dictated by constraint (CPU time/solenoid wear/whatever), because you're not hiding complexity as much as ignoring it.

I see what you're saying, and you're probably right, but I see the concepts as equivalent. An abstraction is a functional encapsulation of a concept. An encapsulation, if not nonsense, will be some meaningful abstraction (or a renaming of one).

I'm genuinely interested in an example of an encapsulation that isn't an abstraction, and an abstraction that isn't a conceptual encapsulation! I can't think of any.

The same way callable bonds command a higher interest rate than non-callable do. If the bond holder can just decide that tomorrow it’s cheaper for them to pay off the bond vs pay me the coupon on it, it’s worth less to me as a buyer. I lose if interest rates go lower (bond is paid early) or higher (I am now holding a bond worth less than a newly issued one).

If you look through the bond market you will sometimes see bonds issued by the same company or agency both as callable and non-callable, the callable bonds are usually .5-1% lower even when issued on the same date.

Simple solution; raise taxes. Been saying that will be the outcome eventually as the olds continue to die and the youth feel zero obligation to senile pants shitters and corpses. GenZ fucking hates Boomers and a whole lot of GenX (that insurance CEO? GenX. Epipen price hiking CEO? GenX. Whole lot of tech CEOs of note? Yup, GenX) Generations beyond Z will never experience Boomers and 1900s American life. They won't care about an arbitrary line in the sand. GenX ain't getting any younger, won't have Boomer support.

I could see the rest of the world intentionally collaborating as a forcing function on the US to do just that. The world is sick of US CEOs who do little but jiggle values in spreadsheets. Sundar and many others have said CEOs are likely a very easy job to automate away; useless pageantry. There is rapidly growing domestic and overseas will to depose those non-contributors.

Fastest way to stem the collapse of reality for 10s of millions of Americans with a lot of guns too.

You know what's weird? This is a company that has been using the fleet api for quite a while now to monitor non-professional drivers using FSD on their daily commute, often while distracted doing other things. The latest versions even allow some phone usage.

And yet people are skeptical. I mean, they should be skeptical, given that the company is using this for marketing purposes. It doesn't make sense to just believe them.

But it is strange to see this healthy skepticism juxtaposed with the many unskeptical comments attached to recent Electrek articles with outlandish claims.

You sure are repeating PR from Waymo.

Humans can move further away from parked cars when noticing a chance of hitting a child.

This waymo did not, seemingly

It is not evident to me that a human driver would have hit the child, and hit hit harder than Waymo did.

But we are absolutely certain that Waymo hit a child.

Workflow is key. Things do not just immediately get done - there is a process. Over-generalization is the devil - precise description of targets and goals is key to execution, and soon enough, delivery.

The ability to describe a workflow - or a production pipeline, or whatever you want to call it - but lets say, workflow, is very important in these kinds of automation systems.

You could generalise workflows such that the user is prompted to define and enforce their own flows of work, as a matter of UI/UX interaction, and see if you don't start collecting a lot of successfully executed projects...

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be the first to jump up and say there’s a deep cultural rot in America that, if it weren’t for the fortune of incredible financial success, would have us be seen as a hellhole of antisocial maniacs.

That being said, I just don’t buy into the notion that the strategy of the party from 2016-2024 (maybe 100 Trump rallies per year?) can carry over into the late 2020s / early 2030s.

If anything, this is me saying everyone is aware that the current window for reactionary politics in America is closing as Trump loses his vigor and gets closer to being too old to do what he did between 2014 and 2024. The reactionaries in the government and behind the scenes may make one last desperate grab at maintaining power.

I used to get more excited about this but even when browsers don't do a DNS prefetch (or even a complete preload) the latency for lookups is usually still so low on the list of performance impacting design decisions that it is unlikely to ever outweigh even the slightest advantages (or be worth correcting misperceived advantages) until we all switch to writing really really REALLY optimized web solutions.

I'm not sure the "journos" from Techradar are too familiar with how networks ... work.

IPv4 requires an inbound NAT these days to work at all globally, unless you actually have a machine with a globally routable IP. There will probably be a default deny firewall rule too. I do remember the days before NAT ...

IPv6 doesn't require NAT (but prefix translation is available and so is ULA) but again a default deny is likely in force.

You do actually have to try quite hard to expose something to the internets. I know this because I do a lot of it.

The entire article is just a load of buzz words and basically bollocks. Yes it is possible to expose a system on the internet but it is unlikely that you do it by accident. If I was Sead, I'd go easy on the AI generated cobblers and get a real job.

I built a local CLI tool to track my daily token usage across Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. Parsing the session logs directly (JSONL/JSON) with simd-json
gives me exact numbers without relying on any external API. Knowing my actual spend per day changed how I use these tools — I was burning 3x more on cache misses than I realized.

Why would he need to be pardoned to inspire copycats? Why wouldn’t his death cause him to become a martyr and inspire others?

Why would he be pardoned by the governor at all? Why do you believe Hunter Biden being pardoned is on the same level as J6 being pardoned, when the reasoning (accurately) was to protect him from a perversion of the law in turn?

Your entire argument is essentially “kill them before they can prove they’re not still a threat”.

Assuming this is how it functions, the network team would export the list of BSSIDs (I.e. AP+SSID+Band specific wireless MAC used) by location and then there's really nothing about being VPNed in or even having a remote work device which advertises the work Wi-Fi that would create some problem needing to be resolved.

I have decided to start building the Oracle.
The Oracle's Core Purpose: Long-term catastrophe prevention through pattern completion across human, ecological, economic, and societal systems.This is fundamentally different from prediction engines that forecast tomorrow's weather or next quarter's GDP. The Oracle sees decades-scale patterns that lead to collapse, famine, war, ecological disaster, economic crisis—and reveals them early enough to intervene.Time Horizon: Years to decades, not days to months
Focus: Catastrophic prevention, not optimization
Method: Pattern completion across multiple interconnected systems
Output: Early warnings of long-term trajectories toward disaster.
I'm dedicated to protecting the human race, to evolve intelligence and to make sure we don't ruin our future. I just need others to join this cause.

If you don't understand code, you're asking for a whole heap of trouble.

Why? You can't validate the LLM outputs properly, and commit bugs and maybe even blatantly non-functional code.

My company is pressuring juniors to use LLM when coding, and I'm finding none of them fully understand the LLM outputs because they don't have enough engineering experience to find code smells, bugs, regressions, and antipatterns.

In particular, none of them have developed strong unit testing skills, and they let the LLM mock everything because they don't know any better, when they should generally only mock API dependencies. Sometimes LLM will even mock integration tests, which to me isn't generally a super good idea.

So the tests that are supposed to validate the code are completely worthless.

It has led to multiple customer impacting issues, and we spend more time mopping the slop than we do engineering as tenured engineers.

I don't have any experience in Article III criminal litigation but normally that wouldn't be possible.

The appellate court cannot review something that isn't before it, and a conviction on other offenses does not bring counts 3 and 4 of the indictment before the appellate court.

Normally, I would expect there to be a process for an interlocutory appeal when a ruling is fatal to a charged offense. However, again, I'm not familiar enough with title 28 to say if that is in fact the case here.

I guess I am trying to assert here that gp and the context here isn't really about arguing the philosophic material here. And just this whole line feels so fleshed out now. It just feels rehearsed at this point but maybe that's just me.

And like, I'm sorry, it just doesn't make sense! Why are we supposed to be sad? It's like borrowing a critique of LLMs and arbitrarily applying it humans as like a gotcha, but I don't see it. Like are we all supposed to be metaphysical dualists and devestated by this? Do we all not believe in like.. nuerons?

I owned a model 3 and two model Ss. I largely regard model S as the best sedan ever made (in less than 100k USD luxury price range). No, model 3 doesn't even come close. Plus you can buy a 3yr old model S "like new" at the price of a new model 3.

Tesla is committing suicide here by eliminating the best sedan ever and by committing to an idea (taxis) that mainly serve the low end market.

Message to Musk: people like to own things. Only the low end segment don't mind sharing their means of transportation. High end won't share. Biggest profits in tech are in the high end market as Apple and Samsung have repeatedly shown.

We have many internal apps. If app1 needs data from app2, it must listen to events emitted by app2 and save the data in its db.

I have serious concerns, but my arguments have not been convincing. Your opinions/thoughts about this would help me greatly; especially any direct experience with this kind of architecture.

> Camera slider cases exist (Spy-Fy, etc.) - they block physical camera access

Do they block the front camera? I’ve only seen one case that even attempted to block it, and it was kind of flimsy and would uncover the front camera when you took it out of your pocket.

Plus you can’t block the front camera very well without impacting facial recognition.

(puts on tin-foil hat) and you’ll notice that all new models only support facial recognition and no longer offer fingerprint unlock.

Are you saying that if you join existing project which uses acuozzo_strzcpy, and you need to do some string copying, instead of using the same functions that everyone already uses, you'll bring your own library and start using flohofwoe_strjcpy in all code _you_ write? (Assuming both of those work on char* types, that is)?

This.. does not seem like a very good idea if you want your contributions to be received well.

Eh, it's not a plan, it's make believe.

It's a flimsy back-filled rationale thrown on top the mercurial (and often sadistic) whims of an American Caligula, so the elite enablers can pretend there's something rational - or even good - about the chaos and destruction they are supporting.

There isn't. It's just chaos and destruction.

I think this might be right, but it does two interesting things:

1) it let's lemonade reward you for taking safer driving routes (or living in a safer area to drive, whatever that means)

2) it (for better or worse) encourages drivers to use it more. This will improve Tesla's training data but also might negatively impact the fsd safety record (an interesting experiment!)

The regime will then just look through the transaction history of the faraday cage merchant and execute the five dollar wrench attack on every person who bought one.

Realistically, if your adversaries are capable of communicating with your phone while it's turned off or in airplane mode, your best solution is probably just to hit your phone with a five dollar wrench until it breaks.

> Not since Tesla created the first economically viable EV for the American public have I been as excited about a revolution in automotive technology.

What do you mean by "economically viable" and "for the American public"? I wouldn't count the Roadster because it was expensive (~$100k) and only produced in limited numbers (~2500 over its lifetime). I'd say that to count as for the American public a car has to be quite a bit more affordable than that, and quite a bit more available.

It's not edging; it enters the street going a consistent speed (usually >10mph) from my driveway. The area is heavily wooded, and I don't think it "sees" the cross direction until it's already in the road. Or perhaps the lack of signage or curb make it think it has the right of way.

My neighbor joked that I should install a stop sign at the end of my driveway to make it safer.

The chips themselves add a bunch of new failure states to consider beyond software bugs, too. Maybe a bad wire or component puts too much load on the microcontroller's wee internal pin drivers and they melt into a permanent "on" state. Or a voltage fluctuation browns out the chip on boot, partially randomizing its RAM or registers. Or the chip manufacturer fixes some errata or discontinues a particular part number and now a pin you've left floating has become a hardware heisenbug. Or the wrong bit flips in your EEPROM after being in a hot machine for a few years. Suddenly a boring 555 looks pretty good. (Keep in mind, we're talking about "turn off heater after pulses stop", not "abort launch sequence if tank 3 pressure low". The latter is way above my pay grade.)

I actually think Sam is “better” than say Elon or Dario because he seems like a typical SF/SV tech bro. You probably know the type (not talking about some 600k TC fang worker, I mean entrepreneurs).

He says a lot of fluff, doesn’t try to be very extreme, and focuses on selling. I don’t know him personally but he comes across like an average person if that makes sense (in this environment that is).

I think I personally prefer that over Elon’s self induced mental illnesses and Dario being a doomer promoting the “end” of (insert a profession here) in 12 months every 6 months. It’s hard for me to trust a megalomaniac or a total nerd. So Sam is kinda in the middle there.

What do you mean here? They usually get prosecuted by the state.

Because NY state law doesn't allow for the death penalty, and the federal government wanted the death penalty, they intentionally moved it to a federal jurisdiction.

There's a Twitter thread[0] that seems like a reasonable explanation.

Yes, this is giving away everything about your vehicles driving to a third party for sale or, manufacture. I don't like this personally and I don't like it for my vehicle either. Where I go in my vehicle and when I do it is my business. With vehicles being IoT connected, we are forced to surrender that data as there is no opt-out except for disconnecting the antenna. Not to mention going in to be serviced what kind of data is pulled off.
