I'm not a particularly political person, so I'll try to limit myself here to my fields of knowledge (namely biology).

I first want to clarify that I'm not advocating for social Darwinism. I'm using it as a foil to show how our society is NOT darwinist, as we have well established institutions who's entire purpose is to prevent death as a result of fitness failure.

My point with the poor(referring to the welfare class, not the working poor)/young/uneducated being unproductive is to point out merely that they are. WHY they are is for a much larger discussion.

That said, I wouldn't be overly concerned about people being temporarily disenfranchised. As you mentioned, the overall trend is for it to expand regardless of obstacle. A trend not to be taken for granted, but one which can be comfortably taken as faith.

Population and demographics matter far more over time. They represent the upper and lower bounds of the groups that can be enfranchised at all.

In short, even if some elections are bent by some actors to make victory more likely for their side, if they aren't cementing that victory in the form of future generations of whatever they define as their ingroup (biological, cultural, creedal, etc.) then their gains are temporary and will erode with time as they are simply replaced and new group interests take over.

And yes, if humans engaged in the social equivalent of memory garbage collection that would look an awful lot like eugenics.
The tricky thing is that eugenics, when applied to actually heritable traits as opposed to merely associated traits (think Crohn's disease or sickle cell anemia vs something like income), does 'work' in that it reduces the % composition of whatever negative factor is being targeted.
People are upset about the word 'eugenics' because it was so closely associated with racism. That made it morally repugnant, but unlike, say, phrenology before it eugenics is far more 'correct' in that it's predictions are accurate over time.
The real heart of the remaining valid controversy over it is what traits are targeted for expansion or removal and how/if that is enforced in practice.

For example, in almost all developed countries, pregnant women have samples taken to do genetic screening on their children early on in pregnancy. These can detect things like aneuploidy, NTDs, heritable conditions (like sickle cell), and even facial features if you check for them.
While facial feature results are uncommon, it is very common for women to be recommend a termination if their child will have some major genetic condition.
This is eugenics, yet we have found it more help than not.

Failing to be ostentatiously dismissive isn’t “being emotional”, if anything, the ostentatious dismissiveness is the insecure emotional display.

The unix philosophy of having small programs that take in input, process it and return a result has proven to a success, I just never understood why the next logical step of having this program in library form never became a thing. I guess shells are a bit useful but not as useful as a decent repl (common-lisp or the jupyter repl) where these programs can be used as if they were a function.
Having been raised on the right then switching to a more left-center view, I don't see how it's demonizing. The right of my youth and today idolize some imagined past that never existed and fixates on threats to reaching that ideal. 'Good' changes are almost always a return to something old and 'trustworthy'.

Occasionally the left does get stuck on defeating some right-wing figure, settling for mediocre or even poorly suited candidates (cough Biden cough). Though more often I read/hear more about changes toward progressive goals than fear mongering.
This isn’t an overall guide to engineering a group for a cause so much as how to gather strength running a movement.

The green revolution and smallpox elimination operated very differently than something designed to create a regime or gather political power in a democracy.

Movements that have a truly profound impact in human history operate rather differently. Compare say the Age of Reason with Communism and they both caused revolutions, but first had a far more long term impact while the second had more zest.
If you don’t have strings attached you end up with tiny brothels, tiny drug dens and tiny Arms depots. So you still have to have rules and enforcement.
I grew up fundraising in evangelical churches and most certainly there are two common enemies talked about all the time: The Devil and The World.

The World is an extremely broad catch-all term for whatever the speaker doesn't like. It isn't sin, which is laid out pretty clearly - lying, stealing, hate, murder, affairs, etc. The World is more like the speaker's preferences. CS Lewis has one of his main characters decide to give up her royal heritage for makeup and pretty dresses - that's The World. It's not _sinful_ it's just not what he thinks is important.

The World fills an important role, because while Christians are taught that hate is a sin, it's allowed if you're hating The World. This gives an easy out that allows believers to hate as much as they please, as long as they call the object of hatred "The World" or "Worldly Things".

Here's brief list of things I've heard genuinely described as The World: guitars, drums, syncopated rhythms, atonal music, chanting, fasting (recommended in the Bible), mediation (also recommended in the Bible), sugar, staying fit, eating meat, spicy food, curry, alcohol, cannabis, bathing suits, makeup, fashion, nudity, being LGBTQA+, pronouns, sex-ed, women in sports, women in the workplace, civil rights, birth control, chemotherapy, antidepressants, antibiotics, vaccines (shouldn't be a surprise to anyone reading this), archeology (unless it focuses on Israel around 30CE), science, astronomy, therapy, TRPG games, World of Warcraft (I mean it's right in the name!), communism, socialism, and shopping at businesses that aren't owned by Evangelicals.

Not every church says the same things are The World, but there's definitely a lot of overlap. Generally the idea is that if it fits within the current culture of the speaker, then it's ok. If it's from a different culture than it's The World.

The World has recently been given a new name that will sound familiar: Woke. It's a modern rebranding of The World into a fresh new term. The benefit is that Woke is a step removed from the religious terminology of The World, so it sounds less villainous to say it on public or broadcasts. Saying you hate The World and want to destroy it just isn't a good look.
(5) (the minimum value of entropy) seems to come from an extremely hand-wavy argument on page 5 here:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.09914

It appears to be an example of argument by italics. I’m not convinced that it has any real content — it seems to be trying to say that the author thinks all systems are either being observed or they aren’t, and that there are therefore at least two microstates.

I think this is entirely missing the point and is mostly wrong. Even in the highly classical case of a gas, you have a box full of gas, with n particles and some volume V, etc. Those parameters form the macro state. Now you count microstates, take the log, and get the entropy. But nowhere in the count is a set of states where the gas is observed and a set where it isn’t. If you have a box of gas with n particle, etc, it’s implied that the gas exists!

So I don’t buy it. I’ll stick with S >= 0.
There might be other reasons for wanting a MCU but PID controller chips are cheaper and so are the diy PID circuits.

Drone PIDs are hard, and a lot of that to do with the quickly moving targets which is not the case in many (most?) scenarios PIDs are used.
Their point is Hacker News is branded as a place for posting links to content specifically relevant to the technology industry, and this isn't that. It's clearly a general interest piece.

Is that a problem?

Well, first I'd point out the majority of posts are still in keeping with what I think of as HN's raison d'etre.

But the more basic question is: does HN have an overarching theme at I've described it? Or is it, as you believe, just a general link aggregator and the only thing that matters is whether its audience upvotes the post?

I honestly don't know.

Though I will say I wish I could apply a filter to eliminate every American political post (I swear I see a post complaining about homelessness in SF at least once a week). I get enough of that elsewhere...

No it's not. The key measure to look at is how much carbon is dumped into the atmosphere each year. If there was a renewable energy revolution this number would be going down. Instead it is going up each year (except for the Covid recession).

I'm glad we can depend on the modern medical-industrial complex to provide us with lifelong treatments that rescue us from the problems caused by....modernity.

> No known observation and no known measurement contradicts these 9 lines, not even in the last significant digit.

Surely this is technically incorrect; there are countless observations that disagree with these 9 lines. We just suspect they are caused by measurement or operator error. There is evidence of all sorts of impossible things if you stick to just what is recorded. There can't be that many machines capable of measuring the extreme least-significant digit of these constants.
In my experience you have to be even more circumspect in choosing your words around the Left than the Right. The Right might blame "liberals" for 95 percent of the world's problems while the Left only blames the Right for 80 percent of them, but much of the discourse on the Left operates like an ongoing inquisition where one wrong opinion will get you branded an apostate.

I have met him in person a lot of times: I worked at a local electronics shop and we used to bring him TVs and radios for repair regularly. He was socially awkward, stubborn, and on more then one occasion he made mistakes with regards to the repairs but did not want to admit fault at any time.

From my (rather limited) interactions with him, I'd say he was far from genius, I feel he just got sucked in and had no way out of his network of lies without losing face.
>[the right] have no long-term view. They just want to keep things as they are.

Taking things nice and steady, respecting Chesterton's Fence and making sure things aren't changing for change's sake is a long-term view.

>[the left] have a long-term view how society can be improved along many dimensions.

Except most such "improvements" are changes for change's sake without sufficient thought given to them. Such changes generally to satisfy someone's desire for morals (FSVO moral) is a short-sighted view.

>It's primarily the uneducated who fall for nonsense arguments

We have to move away from this idea that level of education == intelligence.

Historically, this was probably true, since there was no economic benefit for education beyond primary school. The people who ended up in universities would have to have been strongly intrinsically motivated to learn and discover, likely because those activities played to one of their strengths (high IQ). The world today is much different; there are high economic returns to completing formal education even if one is not naturally inclined to do that.

My guess would be that people who are more intelligent, while not immune to falling in with cults or mass movements or any other wrongheaded idea, are going to be quicker to observe what is happening to them and modify their beliefs or behavior accordingly.

> But on the other hand, many of his examples of Monastic deep workers (Einstein, Darwin) absolutely relied on those around them to function.

Every one of us relies on those around us to function. Walking into a grocery store and buying food that’s ready to eat just scratches the surface of this reliance.

Humans are fundamentally a cooperative species, which has enabled collective outcomes that would be impossible if we reduced our reliance on others.

This becomes a problem when people are treated poorly in the process. Slavery is the obvious extreme, and various kinds of discrimination and power plays are some of the bad behaviors that emerge from this social reliance.

But reliance is not in itself a problem. It’s at the core of being human.

I would reiterate that the existence of bad behavior that enables focus for one person at the expense of others with no fair exchange of value is not an intrinsic consequence of the ideas in Deep Work.
Since the problem is that the links to media were broken and we know at least one - Ellen's - was fixed, does that imply the others can/will be fixed too? If so, and if they can be restored programmatically, then this would seem to be a very minor technical stuff up.

But if the pictures/media is effectively rendered inaccessible (e.g forever), that's a much bigger deal.

I was trained as a physicist and I love physics, but I believe it is a genuinely open question whether all these laws, which probably do encompass physics per se as we know it, actually therefor encompass the whole world.

If you genuinely believe in emergent phenomena, then these laws genuinely do not describe all the things that happen in the universe. I do not believe in emergence in this form, but some philosophers of science do.

This is not accurate. What was lost from commercial nuclear was replaced with renewables.

I believe error handling looks like this:

package main

import (
"github.com/bitfield/script"
)

func main() {
_, err := script.Stdin().Column(1).Freq().First(10).Stdout()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}

Errors are "remembered" by the pipeline and can be processed when you get to a sink method.

While I understand what you're saying, I think the part maybe I didn't express well is that there isn't a 10% of the team time to give anymore. The items that our team was always most successful on now compete with all these other tasks and the team has more or less shifted into a very generalized and vague team without any specific goal, reason, or projects that best utilize our skills and interests.

The EFT here creeped in and more or less turned a team that always succeeded on the goals they were actually hired and trained to accomplish and now is being held responsible for the success/failure of so many other teams, including those that have nothing to do with any of our specialties. We lost members who went on to better things, and to this day I still am only happy for them that they were able to make that change when they did.

It's not about whether or not we _can_ accomplish the load, and that's not what the article is about. It's about others pushing their items they don't want to deal with onto others, and how much effort goes into that from the others instead of just doing their work, and how EFT is toxic once it becomes accepted for persons to engage in EFT.

That specific prompt is just an example and it's pretty bad, it was the shortest and simplest prompt I could come up with that would be easily understood.

You can set response content-types (text, html, json, etc...). If you use json it will get pretty good results because I have some is some logic to attempt to pick out json or json5 objects from the text output. I dont yet have logic to support json arrays, but I'm hoping to add that soon.

But still client side validation is needed for applications with untrusted input. I dont attempt to solve prompt injection. I saw a lot of interesting posts on this topic from this blog https://simonwillison.net/. I need to find sometime to read more about it.

If you construe "violence" broadly enough, then yes, this is true.

But a broad interpretation misses most of the nuance that matters in practice.

If you conceive of state violence instead as something like "the probability that you will get tortured, or beaten, or lose your money or property for things like speaking out against those in power", then the original statement is no longer true, and there are stark differences between living in modern western democracies and actually violent regimes -- which of course there are.
