Marginally related rant.

Why on earth is the macOS download a 153 MiB ZIP file that expands into 363 MiB of stuff? Why does every Electron app have to come with its own copy of Electron? I miss the times when Windows came on seven 1.44 MB floppies and you did not even need all of them because they mostly contain drivers for hardware you didn't have. Actually I don't miss the time, swapping floppies was annoying.

But really, is the amount of space, bandwidth and clock cycles we carelessly waste really justified by the gain in productivity and achievable complexity?
Oh I've been come for before. Try being a white cis-presenting dude trying to mediate between trans people who have braids who are being personally harrassed and threatened by members the local university queer PoC society who say they felt threatened by their presence at the last trans-pride march. There's some seriously bad eggs in student politics, who often create a culture of extremism by guilting their peers into feeling they aren't towing the line enough or going far enough.

You just have to ride the wave, take stock, take a break and then someday keep fighting the good fight once your mental health recovers.

> Without being prescene at the scene it is not possible for a firefigther to know if someone's life is endanger or not because the person calling isn't trained to know that.

Yeah... that's about the weakest argument I've heard this week. Firefighters don't have magical spidey senses to tell them whether someone is trapped in a burning building. They will go based on what the homeowner says -- it doesn't take special training to verify that 3 people live at your house and all of them are on the road with you watching it burn.

Fire department certainly isn't risking life and limb to comb through an actively burning building verifying it to be empty when the homeowner themselves already said it was.

>that the firefighters didn't know if anyone's live was in danger because they didn't show up.

Person: Hello, my house is on fire come save it please.

FireDepartment: Is anyone's life in danger?

Person: No.

FireDepartment: Thank you for letting me know.

That's how easy it is, same conversation would happen whether or not they were on "the list".

> Another alternative I’m considering is learning HVAC repair as a fallback career.

Not sure if this is a joke or not. If it's not a joke, I think you should go into HVAC. AI/ML is a competitive academic field, and only the top few percent of people are going to make an impact. It will take extraordinary passion to make the cut, and if you're the type of person who is wavering, looking for a career change, and seriously considering something like HVAC repair, please save yourself the pain and go for HVAC - it's a solid option with far less demands or risk.
Latin/Latino itself actually isn't inclusive since it is commonly used to refer to basically anyone from central/South America, even though many people there have no Latin heritage and may not even speak a Latin language(eg descendents of the Mayans)

This is mostly a bad argument. F1 rules cause all kinds of similar problems due to their arbitrary rules. It's very easy for the aerodynamic rules to result in unpredictability.

The last 10 years many of the F1 cars due to the rules had catastrophic loss of downforce if they got too near other cars. The drivers had to work around this by not following too closely. F1 rules changes recently have tried to reduce these kinds of issues.

But even this last season was somewhat ruined by one team figuring out to work within the current rules and not have the porpoising problems that wrecked the other teams cars because they'd lose their downforce. That made the racing less exciting. And the whole problem never had to exist if it wasn't for the rules.
I looked into it and found some for $200. But they had testing glasses (where you insert the lens) with a fixed eye distance (PD). If that is the wrong PD, it is bad

And half the lenses there are plus lenses. I only need minus lenses.

But it seems one can buy testing glasses and individual lenses rather than a set.
It didn't figure anything out though?

> But then I told it "It's actually the word "bar" that's being used in the wordplay. The word "duck" there just means evading something" and asked it to explain the joke again

It gave a couple wrong answers and then was told bar is the wordplay. It didn't figure out bar has two meanings on it's own. It was also told duck is meant to mean evade and to try again. I don't agree that it came up with these associations by itself when was fed the knowledge bar has multiple meanings in the joke and duck in this context means evade.
And those that made bad choices that the market doesn’t agree with are punished accordingly, by losing their money and thus influence in future decisions
Thanks, makes a lot of sense
Your premise is a little off. This is not exactly private property, but a public accommodation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_accommodations_in_the_U.... That is why MSG likely has to meet ADA accessibility construction standards, among other things. Different laws apply when you invite the general public into your property.

The law is like code. If you say, "persons I dislike" but you mean people of color, you have Jim Crow, which is deeply immoral. On they other hand, your point #3 is clearly valid. To resolve this, 42 U.S.C. §2000a talks about protected classes (https://www.justice.gov/crt/title-ii-civil-rights-act-public...). People with good and bad intentions have been arguing ever since then about what is a public accommodation and who belongs to protected classes. In this case, even if it's legal, MSG is not being terribly smart to 1) use dystopian technology to enforce bans 2) be petty and expansive about banning people 3) do so against a now-very-angry legal expert.
We need a better standard of evidence for harmful language than someone's claim at offense.

I have no doubt that you could find an actual victim/target/member of a marginalized group to claim to be bothered by any of these phrases in the first person. But I'm also certain that members of such groups enjoy telling other people what to do just as much (on average) as all of humankind at large, which is to say a lot, and so a better standard of evidence is needed.

I've struggled to envision what such evidence would look like, but I think it will have to be someone who is better at devising experiments than me.

> I'm so glad to hear that your primary concern around immigration is the impact on other countries

You are not. Rather, you are being facetious.

> It turns out that while your thesis sounds reasonable it is in fact not the case.

It's not a thesis, but meant to derail a conversation, implying there's one true answer just like the comment I was replying to did. And yours as well, as you don't address what I raised.

> Here in the US

The UK is not the US.

> It turns out that both of these countries seemed to have benefit greatly from the exchange.

So you agree damaging the country that provides young workers is bad. Thank you.

> While many very talented migrants have chosen to remain in the US, a sizable number of taken the skills and experience they've learned here and brought them back to their home countries.

So to have some immigrants go back is desirable? Can you phrase it as policy? Something like "we don't want you to remain here for as long as too many of your cohort do the same". It goes against the comment I was replying, that specifically asked for low barrier to move and work.

> Not only that but during our period of highest immigration, salaries from those very companies hiring the most migrant workers were some of the highest in the world, much higher than typically seen in, for example, the UK. At the same time we've also seen salaries rise in India and China.

It says nothing about what they would be should there have been not as much immigration.

> I'm guessing on seeing that your theoretical concerns don't pan out in the real world you'll likely change your stance on the issue. If not that there must be some other logic I'm missing that is guiding your opinions on the topic.

You missed that this was not a conversation, and you did not make it one. The comment I replied to assumed there was only one answer. And you assume all the counters I raised are misplaced because they can be countered with your comment. Answer my main points.

Does brain drain not exist? Do you want to exfiltrate the young generation from worse off countries? Do you want to incentivize young workers to leave their native countries instead of whatever else you must think young workers can contribute there? Do you want to signal to the local young workers they are wrong in refusing the local salaries because someone from abroad will take them? Do you want to signal to the local population that there's no incentive in raising the next generation because the solution is to have people born and educated abroad to come here to work temporarily and then abandon (with their savings, I assume) the country once they had enough? Do want to continue to degrade the social fabric by insisting in economic advancement instead of fixing what leads to lack of workers?

This is factually false. I think perhaps you are going off of selection set/survivorship bias. A lot of people have smoked crack. A minority of them destroyed their lives as a result.

The black bear population in CA has quadrupled since the state banned black bear hunting with dogs a long time ago.

Nonetheless, the humane society sponsors bills: https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/policy-and-legisla... and petitions: https://www.themeateater.com/conservation/wildlife-managemen... to completely ban bear hunting, claiming that "climate change" has decreased the population. When in reality it has not, the black bear population in CA has exploded, and in particular, the Tahoe area now sees a lot more human conflict with black bears due to their increased population and lack of habitat.

You can further see that the humane society opposes any and all hunting (not just hunting predators and bears) on their own website. Like say hunting whitetail deer, by far the most popular big game animal in the US: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/what-do-about-deer

This political movement is directly opposed the science based management of wildlife. See the WA spring bear hunt ban: https://www.fieldandstream.com/hunting/washington-spring-bea.... Which was done despite the advice of the state's bioligists.
Many court cases interpret or discard wording to make whatever ruling they want. For example, the blatant disregard of the 9th amendment when it comes to privacy and health care decisions.

Heller explains how a Court interpreted (and disregarded) the militia clause. All it takes is a concerted effort to pack the courts to overturn precedent. We saw that with the overturn of Roe.

Excellent work! You're probably already aware but I figured I would provide feedback in case not. Almost all of the clips would play for a few seconds, pause, and then start again from the beginning; they would play through to the end but not on the first pass.

> "This term is used to ridicule or demean a certain group of people based on their behaviors."

Isn’t that precisely when it’s ok to ridicule someone? Not based on properties they cannot change (race, height, sex, etc) but indeed based on behavior they choose to engage in (religion, politics, social behavior, life choices, etc.).

If ridiculing people for their behavior is now off limits then what the hell is left? Do we just talk about the weather?
This is absolutely the difference between spam and useful. It's way more effective to keep tabs on when people need help and share your solution instead of blindly posting the solution to reddit, etc and not to mention a marketing strategy way more palatable to engineers.

> This initiative is what is meant by “woke”

No, this is institutional PR by an institution that is very much the antithesis of woke; it may be trying to avoid criticism from people who are woke, but it’s interests are served just as well by discrediting the entire idea (which reduces pressure on it the same way as accommodation does, and more durably), and its actions reflect that.
> But really, is the amount of space, bandwidth and clock cycles we carelessly waste really justified by the gain in productivity and achievable complexity?

Yes. Space, bandwidth, CPU cycles are cheap, especially for this sort of application. Developers are expensive.

Most problems with 'troublesome' visitors in Amsterdam comes from drug tourism.

Few things to understand here:

- Drugs are illegal in the Netherlands

- Marijuana is 'tolerated' by law enforcement, meaning it can be sold by shops, within certain rules.

- The use of drugs is not illegal per se. If someone ODs, you can call an ambulance and no questions will be asked.

- Dealing drugs (with the exception of Marijuana in regulated shops) is illegal and punishable.

As a Dutch resident, I have never understood why so many (mostly American) tourists visit The Netherlands just to use drugs in Amsterdam.

It has come to a point where cab drivers are now known to offer you drugs as soon as you arrive at the airport (this is highly illegal).

Drug tourists cause many problems and feeds the criminal system. I think it is a good thing Amsterdam is finally cracking down on drug tourism.
Converting 100% of production commences a transition. If 95% of Audi cars are scrapped within 15 years and other manufacturers follow similar schedules, that means the infrastructure change has to be 95% complete by 2038.

My guess is that other manufacturers will do much the same, and in the regions/countries where the infrastructure isn't updated by 2035, a lot of people will then buy used ICE scrap from more progressive areas instead of the new cars they might prefer.
May be true for radio signals, with the possible exception of OTH radar? But there are other technosignatures such as atmospheric composition that they may also be able to detect at substantial distances I think.
Webpacker was a wrapper for webpack, which was an attempt to make webpack easy to use but instead added unnecessary complexity.

You can use Rails with React/Vue + TypeScript pretty easily by using something like rails-esbuild or vite_ruby.

I'm currently working on a project with Rails, React, TypeScript, Vite, and InertiaJS and have been very much enjoying it, especially now that Inertia supports SSR.

>The result of Brexit referenda can be attributed to caging away citizens from a democratic decision-making process on the things that matter.

To be fair, the EU is partially responsible for that. Even if the UK had a form of direct democracy, EU rules would still dictate on many issues. Switzerland can only do what it does because it isn't part of the EU.

(Now, if the EU itself had a direct democracy (setting aside the practical issues with that) it would perhaps be different.)

Show HN: Death by AI
I recently created a simple but efficient tool to help document writers generate a list of acronyms and definitions.

Here comes chatGPT.

At home, it’s all fun and games until I realize this thing might be able to do exactly what my “dumb” website does: "Give me the list of acronyms used in the previous text and their definitions"...

It had a good-looking answer. Of course...

At first I was bummed, but quickly realized that even though the output looked neat, it was also not reliable (missing some acronyms, adding some that were not in the original text, albeit related to it).

Anyway, the next day I stumbled upon https://killedbygoogle.com and the two things collided in my head: other people probably feel like AI is going to "kill" them or their product too. Why not make a list of these things?

A shameless clone later (it's open source ) https://deathbyai.com was born. I was initially going for a more serious tone, but it soon felt impossible to give a fair story for each item in ~5 lines, so I went for something lighter and, hopefully, more fun.

This is neither an attempt to criticize AI nor one to bury its "victims." On the contrary, I hope this page can highlight the potential of AI while showing that the "old ways" can still be relevant.

Hope you like it. Feedback and contributions are welcome!
