I hate what you refer to too, it's essentially changing the meaning of a word with political intent. It also happened with "tolerance", went from enduring something you don't like to not caring about it in the first place.

But all that does it make words mean different things at different points in time, which is still just how words work. The meaning of the word "gay" is pretty different now than what it was, "meat" used to refer to all solid food, not just muscle and organs, "tweeting" is, at this point, more used as a reference to an internet service than to birds.

We didn't get to learn a final and set version of our languages, we just got the current one, they all keep changing nonstop and words changing meaning is just one of the ways in which that happens.

> Explaining that these sources of information are not reliable, because they use techniques to manipulate public opinion. We have to discredit entire subsets of media that aren't willing to give up manipulative practices.

Sure. I can believe that's a step in the right process. But have you ever tried to discredit Fox News for pushing the lie that "Obama is a Muslim" ?? Or "Obama was born in Kenya" ??

Even if you point out that a certain news publication does this, no one really seems to care in my experience.

-------

Look, people believe Obama was not born in the USA because they _want_ to believe that their political opponents are cheating at the process. And Fox News simply delivers to them what they want.

Cater to people's worst desires and worst beliefs... you know, those beliefs that no one else is willing to discuss... and you'll become a trustworthy friend of theirs.

Similarly: people want to be optimistic about COVID19. They want to believe in a cure (that isn't that cure that liberals are pushing). So now you have Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. Give them the optimism they so desire, and they'll believe you.

People are right to be scared and afraid of COVID19. People are right to search for a cure and have optimism. But its when these media outlets feed on these fears and pushes misinformation that things get dangerous.

There's a lot of telemetry, and a few other services such as time checking.

The features you're mentioning include the user syncing, translation, and DRM platforms (though you can add widevine to chromium, you cant add the others). Those are not the only things that call home to google.

You might want to include the end of that sentence: "...in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products."

This confirms the, imo, common-sense position that no, oxidation is not just a slow fire. A fire is a specific type of oxidation process that involves the production of significant light and heat. In other words, it is only true that oxidation is a slow fire if one adopts a definition of fire that is significantly different from its ordinary usage.
The blogger draws some questionable conclusions here. He says, "If music is a positive superstimulus for some aspect of speech perception, then this implies that music is perceived as being a 'better speech than speech.'"

But that's not really the case. For example, junk food has been called a superstimulus compared with regular food. It stimulates us to eat it more strongly than the more nutritious fare our appetite evolved for, and thereby replaces regular food, to our detriment. It's not that it's better, simply that it's more stimulating, to the point of usurping the correct stimulant.

Music is a negative superstimulus in the sense that it causes the listener's brain to put less effort into processing the meaning of something.

He continues: "If this is the case, then speakers would be expected to exploit this perception by making their speech more musical in any situation where they are speaking and they want their speech to have more effect on the listener. But this doesn't happen."

To which I would say, in the first instance, that this is a very narrow view of how a superstimulus works. Porn has been called a superstimulus (being more pleasurable to some and usurping the role of physical sex.) But, according to this blogger, I can disprove that by asserting, "Porn can't be a superstimulant because if it were, people would routinely make themselves sexy to others by inviting them to watch porn videos."

But secondly I disagree that people never make their speech musical for added effect. Think about when your parents would call you as a child. "MAR-LOW...come take out the GAR-BAGE" in a sing-song voice for added effect.

Furthermore, music can entirely take the place of speech to provide a more stimulating environment. Many people would judge a party where music is playing to be more stimulating and pleasurable than a party where there is just conversation taking place.

But that aside, what he says is true that people don't generally sing to each other in the place of normal speech. But that's true for the same reason that people don't normally recite limericks to each other in the place of normal speech. Songs (and limericks) are not meant to be forms of spontaneous communication.

I also question the whole concept of a "negative superstimulus." He calls music a "worse speech than speech." But that's nothing special, it's how superstimuli typically work. In usurping the normal stimulant, they have a negative effect, or at least, lack the full range of beneficial effects that the normal stimulant would have.

And finally, using spontaneity as a measure of the effectiveness of communication, let's concede that point, for the sake of argument. Isn't everything that music lacks also lacking in the written word? In spoken prose and poetry? Essentially, in any non-spontaneous form of communication? In that case, why single out music? I mean, what he's calling "music" is music+lyrics, in any case. Is he asserting that reciting the lyrics without the accompanying music would enable listeners to ascertain the truth value? Or that just the accompanying music, without the lyrics, is not a ("negative") superstimulant?
Ask HN: What code should be included in humanity's Foundation?
I've been watching the Foundation recently and got me thinking. What code or project should make it in humanity's Foundation?

If you're not familiar here is a short summary of what the Foundation is:

Foundation is set in the future, when the world is barely remembered, and humans have colonized the galaxy. The book introduces Hari Seldon, a brilliant visionary and psychohistorian whose job is to use mathematics and probability to predict the future. Seldon does not have the ability to prevent the decline of humanity that he predicts. Instead, he gathers together the galaxy’s top scientists and scholars on a bleak outer planet and sets out to preserve the accumulated knowledge of humankind, and begin a new civilization based on art, science, and technology. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation and designs it to withstand a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare he predicts will last for 30,000 years.

> I think a command line tool is better

Why not both? It doesn't need to be mutually exclusive; write md2blog.html so it can run either from the command-line or be opened in the browser—whichever is preferable (easiest) at the time.

I don't understand your comment about durable storage. If you have a directory of Markdown files on your disk, that's already durable storage. I'm just talking about tweaking the development approach so the site generator's business logic can run using the browser process's JS runtime that's almost definitely already in memory. md2blog.html would be written to accept the same directory that the current incarnation reads; use ordinary file APIs—the input element or drag and drop. "Web app data" (I think you're talking about localStorage?) would only seem to come in after starting to expand the scope of the tool and is a separate matter.
The issue for Electron is making sure the right version of Node and Chromium are available which is why each app is so big: each apps includes the version of both that they were last dev&tested against. That is why running several eats a fair amount of RAM - they have full Chromiums running, not sharing anything between them even if they are the exact version.

> Is there something wrong with running a local web server and opening the app in a browser tab?

For the average user, probably. Though for a developer targetted app probably not IMO.

For a dev, running a new enough version of Node (but, for not well maintained apps, perhaps having one that is not _too_ new around) and making sure you have a recent enough browser, is not an issue, but for beginners or completely non-technical users that is a barrier to using the app.

As access to local resources from within the browser is getting practical, I think the best common ground will have to be two versions from (mostly) the same source: a pure JS version that someone who can follow the instructions can run using already installed node and the same browser instance they use for everything else, and a memory hungry Electron version for others to install just by downloading the huge installer. And of that first version can be run as a service, or perhaps there would be a third version with extra parts not needed for either local version for that, for those who don't want to install at all.

Maybe at some point OSes/distributions/appstores will go with “we have this LTS version of Node and this LTS version of Chromium, otherwise provide your own”. That way devs could release a full cross-platform version of their app (Electron with all the baggage), and streamlined versions (no Node, no Chromium, just the app and any extra supporting libs) for Win10, Win11, Debian11, Ubuntu20.04, ..., that have been tested against the versions included with those OS options. Appstores would always get the streamlined versions because they can make sure the right version goes to each OS version they service. Perhaps there would be a combined installer: still huge as it contains everything, but it only installs and runs the app+libs if the target's standard backend & browser are found to be compatible.
There would be support to outlaw adversarial attacks towards self-driving cars. As other posters have suggested it probably already is illegal, or is a narrow expansion of scope for existing laws.

>We can try to make them hard to make, hard to posses anonymously, and hard to deliver.

To stretch your own analogy, I have a wide selection of poisons at home. Except we call them cleaning products, insecticide and automobile fluids.

You can get public support against adversarial attacks on self-driving. Except the main use case for computer vision is passive surveillance. Good luck on that front.

Oh, and just for funzies, I'll point out the irony that some of the people building CV surveillance systems would post on HN that regardless of regulation it'll exist no matter what the government wants. The argument was that it'd be so hard for the government to control CV surveillance, that law wouldn't prevent business from creating and using it anyway. When it comes to adversarial attacks, it seems more likely to involve actions of private individuals rather than businesses, and businesses minimize legal risk in a way individual citizens don't.

“It's not peaches and cream either for men”
> Are US democrats actually progressive?

US progressives that aren't alienated from the political process tend to be Democrats (by voting behavior if not identity), but the reverse is not true; Democrats as a whole are a coalition of (mainly) progressives center-right corporate conservatives, the latter being somewhat more dominant, and many of them (Manchin and Sinema get a lot of attention recently, but the problem is much deeper) regularly ally with Republicans against progressives.

> Why would I support any politician when the available choices do not line up with my views and desires in almost any fashion

Engagement alters the available choices; engagement by (frequently disappointed) progressives has reduced the center-right domination of the Democratic Party from its peak in the 1990s.
