China found the solution to defeat western capitalism --- a blended model that was internally communist but externally capitalist.

At the same time, they revealed a natural tendency to break up this successful model --- by allowing authoritarian communist mentality to exert too much influence and control over the productive capitalist side.

Capitalism has obvious inherent weaknesses which China recognized and exploited to great advantage for decades. At the same time, Communism also has inherent weaknesses which they may recognize but appear to lack the fortitude to resist. What we are witnessing now is turmoil from the collision of the these bipolar personalities.
Don’t you think it makes sense to attack the root problem (addiction) as well as the “big symptoms”? Wouldn’t that look like a rule to be in a treatment program or be otherwise clean?

I can get on board with housing being a basic human need that society helps supply. But that’s subtly different than the OP’s claim of housing with virtually the same freedom from rules. I’m not sure “unfettered housing” is a human right.

This is some serious cognitive dissonance to force specific language in the name of inclusion, only to them say “you have an unusual interpretation, enough people feel differently”.

I've never noticed Spotify's recommendation engine is very good, but I came from Pandora.

What drives me absolutely bonkers is the number of foreign language songs in Spotify's recommendation engine for me. No matter how many times I say "never play this song again" to every foreign language song, give it about 5-10 more songs and it'll play another one.

I've never knowingly listened to a foreign language song
Tbh I think self publishing is going to die because of LLMs. You won't dare to get a book that wasn't curated by someone in a few years.

No, USB-C has one type of plug and one type of port. The port is what you're calling "female" except look closer. Look closer at both ends. You'll see that the plug has a female void in the center, and the port has a male tongue in the center to fit that void. Therefore, it is hermaphrodite on both ends.

It's basically the same with USB-A.
I wonder if this might be misleading. A lot of Los Angeles’ (LADWP) electricity has traditionally been generated generated by coal-fired plants in other states. I’d have to dig into more recent sources to see if that’s still the case, and whether that’s reflected in this dataset.

(Edit: read the sources list, and that should be reflected, but the map is not displaying heavy imports to SoCal. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d suspect LADWP obscuring sources in the published data).
Same... Debian and derivatives everywhere, including Raspbian (now RaspiOS I think) on an army of Pi and even "RasPBX" back in the days (running Asterisk + FreePBX to power Cisco VoIP phones from a Raspberry Pi 1!) and even Devuan on two machines (a Debian fork without systemd). Well, since the nineties and Debian 1.1...

> Yes, the packages can sometimes begin to get old by a few years but the whole system remains outstandingly stable.

I then compile from source. I do it for Emacs notably and at time I recompiled the kernel (for example at one point I had patched MagicSysRQ and was running a kernel with a modified MagicSysRQ).

Nowadays I like to use the stock, signed, Debian kernel: even if it's not a full UKI yet I like to see "SecureBoot on" (I know it's a touchy subject and I know it's not a panacea and I know I should really run a signed UKI but I haven't set that up... yet!).

I don't bother to "dist-upgrade", except to go from the "hard freeze" to the stable one. Typically I re-install from scratch when a new release comes out. YMMV.

Long live Debian! (and Debian shall outlive me)

I think these are good examples and there are probably viable solutions to them. I’ve heard of the purple leash program that is looking to expand the number of shelters that allow pets for example. Thanks for elaborating!
We know that SpaceX told us that the incremental cost for a Falcon 9 launch is around $28M. So clearly they're not priced below cost.
It's both, as in a vicious circle.

Sometimes "customers" don't really hold that much power. For example, I have to use my YubiKey with AzureAD at work. This is broken on Firefox on Linux, but works on Chrome. I can't just not log on to my work email and such. I would have chosen something else than AzureAD, but here we are.

I hate having to use multiple browsers, but I still want to support Firefox and only use chrome whenever I depend on AzureAD and make it a point to complain about it. What good did that do? MS sure doesn't care about it. "Just use windows". Right.

I'd argue many "customers" could possibly be convinced to drop Chrome in favor of Firefox, I don't think they care as much as HN posters do about this subject. They just want a thing that works. But if half the sites don't work, for whatever reason, they won't be wrangling two browsers like me. They'll just use Chrome and call it a day.

So whose fault is it that sites don't support Firefox? 90% of my colleagues couldn't code to save their lives (it's not their job, granted). And the other 10% will just go for what's quicker / easiest to implement. "Everyone uses chrome? Testing on chrome, it is.".
I take it our definitions of "education" are different. I do not refer to academic education.

Everything you expressed are forms of "education", and the core tenet is putting aside your beliefs and attempting to understand a different point of view.

This, by construction, requires humility because it implies that the person has something to teach you. This identical to pure-land view [1], where every person you meet in one way or the other is a small Buddha[1], enlightened with something you can learn, if you only set aside your existing beliefs and listen.

The AI landscape got so broad so fn quick I can’t even keep up…

We need an AI curriculum bot - that will keep track of all the AIs or LLMs on can talk to…

I actually had chatgpt write up a syllabus for me… and that was interesting

But we need to be able to canonize an AI engineering learning path now that’s evolved due to the massive amounts of tangents one can take with whatever LLM /AI path one can follow…

Imagine navigating this stuff as a smart 17 year old version of yourself?
I think it's also pointing to something more than just poverty - it's when you're in a situation where potentially everyone you know is in poverty. You're not even passing someone on the street who looks middle-class, let alone rich. Even if you suddenly had millions of dollars, there would be no where to spend it. If you opened a business you would have trouble finding customers or skilled employees. The first thing you would do is just move somewhere else.

When you're somewhere that's more mixed by class, it's maybe easier to see your way back out of poverty in a way that you can't when you're never seeing anything else.
For my daily driver I went Freebsd->Ubuntu->Debian and have been really happy since. I tend to run older machines that are gifted to me from friends. Debian combined with xfce I rarely have performance issues and actually way better experience than other distro specifically targeted at older hardware (lubuntu, dsl, etc)
Right. AI is a tool utilized by humans. Humans did this.

I'm increasingly concerned about how regularly I'm seeing examples of entire framings of issues that serve to externalize responsibility. AI is a very fascinating, arguably unprecedented kind of tool. But it's just a tool, wielded by humans, to do the desired bidding of the humans, who are in complete control of that tool.

Disagree. As a lawyer I use LLMs with RAG to help me surface information all the time. Often, this allows me to find niche case law that I just wouldn't have had the time to find on my own. However, I double-check everything, and read all the original sources.

LLMs are best treated as the AI equivalent of a human assistant who is knowledgeable and fast, but also inexperienced, and thus, prone to making mistakes. You won't throw out the work of such an assistant-it'll still save you hours of effort. However, you won't take the work at face value either.

This is the correct answer. You look at your stats and put your time where it is needed.

What I find funny about this discussion is that I submitted the same link to Tildes (I've got invites)

https://tildes.net/~health/197x/how_modernity_made_us_allerg...

where people had a very different discussion that was overall quite negative compared to here, leaning in the direction that the article was alt-health hokum. I'm quite fascinated with the differences between this community and that community, particularly in that "Ask HN" is usually a disappointment whereas linkless discussions thrive on Tildes.
Yes I primarily meant academic education which is (I think) what the OP had in mind. Not “life education” or “experiential education.”

I could be wrong, but it’s my impression that most people use the term education to refer to academic education, not life-experience-as-education.

I have not seen any evidence yet that Wayland is an improvement over X Window System, while for NVIDIA there are a large number of available software packages that are known to provide useful functions.

Very slowly, the AMD GPUs become usable with important applications, like Blender, but the problems that can be encountered when trying to use such applications with AMD GPUs and trying to accomplish something concrete are far more annoying than the fact that Wayland may not work well, because one can always choose to avoid Wayland without losing anything.
In my circles, and for a long time, "Ubuntu" meant "I can't install Debian". Because Debian used a text based install that required a bit more knowledge (and reading), and Ubuntu was more user friendly at the time.
I have some experience with it both as a user and a developer.

Code used to save the order of columns, stuff you entered the last time a dialog was displayed, and the convenient data structures (i.e. easy, not best) for the front end leak into the back end

As a user, I want the column order to persist when I’m moving between PCs or browsers or private windows.

You lose focus on your other users: developers who integrate and build on your product

Having done enough integrations, I prefer “what you see is how you work with it” mode. Because requirements usually come in a form of “there’s a button on page X, it produces a table, take it”. But when you approach it from the API side, this user story appears smeared across complex frontend code with numerous API calls and you basically have to reverse-engineer this part. Includes hours of comparing sparse docs against the network activity tab in the inspector pane. Very tempting to just $.click() the button and rip these <tr>’s out of it.

That said, I don’t think you don’t need APIs. But your either-or dichotomy is wrong. If you need an API, then build it. But it has nothing to do with how pages work. Because if pages do something clever, and there’s value in it, your API users will have to repeat it. Why not push that cleverness back to where it belongs.

And finally,

Front end and back end become conflated

It’s a whole system. Drawing an arbitrary line between graphics and logic not where the boundary between them is and repeating it in company’s structure – that creates a point of view where they conflate. If you don’t do that, there’s no conflation. Everyone just does the whole task like “add an input there from this db column”, without having to start complex interactions or negotiations. This separation is synthetic.
Premature optimization is the root of all evil - again. Applies to performance and features. Unless you can proove (not formally, but for yourself) that feature will make things better, don't implement it.
The problem is that it requires some analysis on the device, and I really want the code to be the less intrusive as possible.
I will have a look on how to do it in a cheap way
Browsers are so similar these days, web standards are so well defined, I see little reason to code Chrome-only sites.

Having been through the IEs of the 90s/00s, I feel proud that we managed to scape what seemed an irreversible fate and a sense of responsibility to do whatever I can to help prevent it from happening again.
This is very unhealthy if you really think like this.

Our hiking facebook is full of pictures of the outdoors, we rarely talk about littering at all. We find the litterers annoying, they are not enemies.

I don't even know who is "against the arts" maybe against more arts funding? ... do you often create imaginary enemies? Anyway, "people against the arts" has never even come up.

We fire lazy employees and our CEO regularly meets with our competitors. None of these people are "enemies".

The point is, groups don't regularly go around trying to find enemies. Cults do.
It really hurts me as an educator, because of course we need to adopt the updated wording because we are sensitive to the changing times and morals, but we also need to make sure that students are aware of the old terms so that they are not unduly confused when they get into the real world, because out there, you're going to find a lot of legacy code and legacy documentation, and most importantly, legacy people like me. At fifty years of age and never much for PC terminology, I am having difficulty adjusting my vocabulary to the "new normal" particularly some things which had come so naturally, such as pronouning people I don't know. I am just thankful that I don't work over real-time video, so I can adjust and correct my writing if I slip up.
There is no population that actively rejects any form of housing (cardboard boxes excluded) and if there is, they definitely aren't moving to large urban areas en masse.

And even if it's the case that they were formerly sheltered but 'decided' to be homeless again, it's probably the shelter provider that didn't do a great job at accommodating them.

In any case, cultural opposition to housing is a pretty weak argument to make in order to express despair where your valuable taxpayer money goes to.
Yep. The only reason why Firefox, Safari, and eventually Chrome were able topple IE is because devs started writing predominantly for those browsers. Without that push IE would’ve lived on, because users don’t switch that kind of thing unless they really have to.

Devs often also have disproportionate sway over the technical choices of friends and family, which is where Firefox got much of its footing earlier on.
it has taken quite some time to finally catch one.

knew one of you had to be out there.
This article to a large extent exemplifies the popularization of a culture in which I am expected to understand and make accommodation for your needs and desires at all times, instead of you exercising your own agency and dealing with your own shit.

This culture then dresses up this mindset in loaded terms like “emotional labor” and “executive function theft” to make it more reasonable (and to make those that disagree look more unreasonable) but it’s all bullshit.

If you don’t want to send emails, find another job, or change your own job. If you don’t want to do the dishes, find another partner, or demand they change (and be prepared for them to leave instead).

But rather than this, the proponents of this culture demonize all those who disagree with them. Their arguments and approaches are intentionally not rational, and are instead emotional, precisely because they require everyone else to not engage with life and their own happiness rationally.
This. Unfortunately, there is common crawl, there is bing and a million of other ways they could hide/get the data from. Or, just ignore robots.txt, it's not like it's a very honest or transparent operation they run there.
Gosh, when I did I get appointed to this policy role? Anyway, I don't think you're conversing in good faith so I'm not going to spend much time on a response. If you really want to get into the details of what actually causes homelessness and what can be done about it, there is a lot of research (though little political will to do things that actually work here in the UK.) E.g. https://www.crisis.org.uk/ending-homelessness/
the averaged total emissions per kWh is higher for solar power than for nuclear, yes.
Even big stores can struggle in truly large weather events. I was once in a somewhat isolated area when the nearby city had a massive snowstorm that shut everything down for two weeks. Every store except Walmart ran out of food. Walmart was okay not because of any particular logistical magic but because they resupplied from a different direction. The lesson is you actually want supply chain redundancy.
Indeed, there's a good reason why sums (unions) and products (records) are the most primitive abstractions in various logics and mathematics.
When the homeless in Finland are given a home, it is state housing. Someone who is more knowledgeable than me can tell you whether there are units that permit pets, but I suspect homeless in Finland are much less likely to keep a pet than in the USA.

With regard to smoking, this has become rare in Finnish housing both public and private. People know they shouldn't even smoke on their balconies any more but find somewhere outside the building. Tobacco has gradually been taxed higher and higher to the point where much of the population feels it is unaffordable, and the state already has its sights on a complete tobacco ban in the coming years.

That's interesting. And it makes intuitive sense: when the facts are what they are there isn't much that you can do other than to translate those facts into good prose and to try to accentuate that which is important and to de-emphasize that which is not. But when you are constructing a whole world from first principles or when you have to imagine a series of events that have to be plausible it gets harder. My job is mostly constrained to avoid writing fiction!

I have never tried my hand at writing fiction, so I probably should shut up about that :) At the same time, I told / tell my kids bedtime stories that I pull out of my fantasy at the drop of a hat and they can go on for as long or as short as I want. But those are not to be compared to anything novel (or even novella) sized. 15 minutes tops.
Canada's and US' politicians take their ideas from the same think tanks, using them as opposites is not a good comparison.

Unfortunately this website (and the cheat sheet here) seems to be motivated and evidenced at least in part by the speculative theories of the author so it is difficult for the layperson to determine what here is of value.

For example, the derivation of General Relativity (quite a significant part of physics!) apparently follows from the author's own "Maximum Force" theory in Item (3).

I would love if someone could elaborate this point.
This is an extraordinary piece, and many of the quotes from this book are tremendous. Somehow I had never read it.

It is shocking how so many replies are hostile or defensive. The author (or the author the author is citing) isn't even claiming that movements are bad, or giving any qualitative judgment (e.g. citations about equal rights or the American revolution as if they're counterpoints somehow seem off the mark), just noting the qualities of most movements and the environments in which they occur. If you're looking to engineer a group for some cause, even if the cause is ostensibly good, this is a good how to guide.
It's offensive to Anglophones because we only know it in one context!

I would hope that Germans are capable of nuanced understanding of one of their words and not allow it to be hijacked by one rather bad apple.

It'd be like if we couldn't call anyone "President" anymore because Nixon did such a bad job at it.
Well don’t frame it as a right, think in terms of desired outcome.

New Zealand is a beautiful country and it's politics is slightly better, I think, but then they did let the US do a US-style raid on a personal residence in New Zealand, so they also have form in licking the boot that's stamping on their face.
