Interesting points. I guess I was thinking about the principal of being stateless, which sounds insane. My philosophical thinking is in high gear today, maybe I am just getting tired of the rat race of life. I have opinions on the tax thing, but I will keep it to myself as it will likely derail the conversation.

It just seems like its not beneficial to a person to be required to retain citizenship while in a permanent state of traveling (if you are not actually living in a country for a long period of time). I know each country has laws around this. The philosophical question its interesting.

Now that I am realizing that I am not sure what I am asking, HN probably insn't the best place for this. Thanks for the responses.

“I wrote my thesis about Arm security features and exploit mitigations for Arm's internal use, [have] given internal presentations, keynoted their conference, advocated for them, visited them at their HQ in Cambridge – all without compensation because I wanted this to be a mutually beneficial relationship instead of a gig."

Charted: Youth Unemployment in the OECD and China
Yeah it's probably true that such things are the exception. But for a startup, a chance at e.g. a $256k SBIR Phase I and then $1.9M Phase II and the modern follow-on options in e.g. the Army (called the CATALYST program and other things) -- this one exception turns the company into something real.

So because the amounts are large (compared to commercial, in terms of when a customer first buys from a small company), those cases really make a huge difference.
Remember: ARM is a liability at all levels.

Fellow south east Washington resident here. This is so well said. I don't think people realize how interconnected these projects are with the whole region. Power is only one piece of the equation.

The Columbia Basin irrigation projects are a vast endeavor. The amount of food production that relies on the irrigation provided by these damns is HUGE (I work in Agtech and am regularly on many of these farms).

Multiple towns have grown over the years on the banks of these rivers. Ripping damns down would mean either some other form of flood remediation or just abandoning the towns.

And as an avid water skiier... the Columbia River is some of the best water skiing in the world (I've skiied many other spots). So there's a small deal about recreation as well. :D

That may sound like an "over my dam body" pitch. It's not meant to. It's meant to augment the parent post. You have to talk about the whole picture, not just the part you get excited about when you have big interconnected things like this.

I second going and visiting some of them. They're similar but different. Grand Coulee is a major testament to 40's large scale projects. I think Wanapum is cool because it shows that you can do a "public works" dam. And Dvorjak is pretty impressive as well, especially from a flood control/river management POV.

My implementation of mastery learning (along with other related ideas): https://github.com/trane-project/trane/

It bothered me enough that there was not something like this already available, when the idea seemed so simple, that I ended up doing it myself. The user experience is not very polished yet, but I managed to turn the courses in here https://improviseforreal.com/learning-materials into courses for this software that can teach you ear training and to improvise on any instrument in all keys, all modes, and most common chord progression. Currently, I am doing it for piano, but I've only reached about 15% of the total jam tracks so far. Obviously, I am not distributing the tracks myself.

I am pretty sure the main issue is that there's no one funding implementing these ideas. We've known about mastery learning, spaced repetition, interleaving, etc. for decades, but it's not all been put together into a coherent system. Something like https://mathacademy.com/ is similar, but it's not open sourced and cannot be used to create your own materials. No need for LLMs or anything fancier to be involved when there's so much low-hanging fruit that's not been implemented yet. The core of my software is just a depth-first search over a graph, lol.
If taxes were paid on the money then your example makes zero sense.

But yes we must explain everything to the Government. Rights aren't inherent, but are granted to us by the government if we can explain good enough why we need them. Cops should pull me over and ask how I financed my car and if I don't have a good enough answer/documentation on me they should get to take it /s
I think the question should be seen as a problem you can solve together, more then an accusation.
So maybe phrase it more like ”I’ve observed a change in output from the team. Tickets seem to be taking lounger time. It does not seem to be due to x,y or z. What do you think about it?”
People always rather be part of the solution, not the problem, so better to invite them to solving the problem with you
What you describe would result in the opposite - copyright will be incredibly valuable in a system where the vast majority of "creative works" are just regurgitations of past works in the public domain, churned out by machines. In such a world, none of that has a copyright anyway. Actual creative works, which do garner copyright, will then be that much more valuable, because they will continue to be a property right with a breadth of coverage to make them useful.
In this case we don't need to generalize across all systems that can be called capitalism, we have a specific instance in front of us to reason about. In the american system and its precursors, the role of the police is clear and well attested.

And people's personal property is not normally capital in the sense of capitalism, it not generally being the means of production or of reproducing capital itself. This is a really basic point which has me thinking we disagree on the fundamental terminology. Capitalism isn't a synonym for commerce, assets are not necessarily capital.
This is one of the things I don't understand about America. If this is really true, how can it possibly happen?

I'm from one of the more stable countries in Europe. While there is corruption and abuse in the police, the average officer has greater loyalty to the system than to their superiors. Which means that if someone refuses to do their job, you can fire them and possibly charge them with crimes, and you will eventually find a replacement willing to do the job.

The only way I can see something like this happening is if the average police officer does not believe in the legitimacy of the political and legal system.
Whether or not you agree with them; whether or not you agree with the results of the electoral college; I've never heard of a viable dispute to the de jure legitimacy of their appointments.

I posted that link in response to an inquiry for a single source in support of civil forfeiture. While I happen to agree with the general thrust of your complaint, it is a non sequitur. The Supreme Court is the ultimate authority, provided a Congress unwilling to hold them accountable (which it currently is).

My question of 'credibility' is not "do you like the Federalist Society" but "do you think they're in political alignment with the Thin Blue Liners and are they writing policy."

This is a nice example of the terrible decision making that goes on in the Canadian government. Canada is a lovely country, filled with hard working, friendly people, that kind of chug along in spite of the disastrous leadership by those in power.

I gave up and left to seek my fortune elsewhere.
Coroutines really are powerful. Here's to hoping Rust stabilizes generators (full semicoroutines, not the enhanced iteration construct) sooner rather than later. It would give programmers greater control to express state machine logic without being boxed into async/await. I do wonder if the `Context` parameter used for async tasks is appropriate for arbitrary generators, so if someone could chime in on this I would be grateful.

> I'm just wondering if you apply silence=agreement in the rest of your life

Oh it mostly applies to online interactions where I can tell what someone is trying to do by asking pointed questions and not acknowledging the response.

In that situation, it is almost 100% always because a good point was made and the other person has no way to respond to it, so they don't acknowledge it.

Even what you did just now was a similar type of pattern of behavior, where you ask a question meant to imply an attack on my personal relationships (thus the "in the rest of your life" statement) instead of acknowledging the content of the post.

The reason, of course, that it is much easy to switch things up to a personal attack or switch up the topic, so that you don't have to acknowledge correct responses.

Its an extremely common behavior in online conversations when someone else doesn't want to admit that the other person is correct.

> How important is winning perceived arguments

Whoa. There doesn't have to be any fighting here! You can just say that you agree with my statements. Thats not a fight! If you agree then you agree. Problem solved. There is no need to say that you lost anything if you just admit that you agree with me.

Although, that would be repeating yourself, because you already did agree with me effectively by not responding to the content of the post. That is the most common form of internet agreement and it is pretty much the only way that anyone can effectively get some to admit to agreement, like you just did.

Also, I didn't bring up winning or losing at all. Nobody has to lose if you are just in agreement with me.

Furthermore, I would say that 2 people coming to an agreement is a win for everyone, including you! So now that you brought up winning (I am not sure why you wouldn't want people to win. I want everyone to win, myself!), I am glad that we both get to win, although I don't think there was any "fight" to begin with.
AFAICT he pledged them to BlockFi to try to stop a margin call, and they went bankrupt, so its just a question of which bankruptcy claims they are for.
The balance is problematic in every cycling directions app. Some may be a bit more comprehensive than others in certain areas but all of them prioritize shorter routes over flatter ones.

I wish there were a true flattest route app/website that prioritized quieter roads and more gentle slopes by default using existing terrain data instead of making users manually add a bunch of waypoints using their own knowledge in order to compare elevation profiles.
I've been noticing this a lot lately in one of my little hobbies of Halloween events. There's so much history from events in the early 2000s that has been lost. So many links in ancient web forums that 404 and aren't in the Internet archive. Info from the 2010s is much better but still missing a lot of media. As an individual, I certainly don't have the resources of some of the organizations listed in this article but I've been trying to do what I can and mirror important sites. I dread seeing what the future looks like as more and more of the communities in my niche move onto discord and away from more traditional web forums.

ETA: The issue I face is two-fold. More pressingly, there are files just missing. Nothing I can do about that barring someone magically having them downloaded to an old PC. But also interesting is working with old formats. The 2000s/early 2010s Halloween Horror Nights websites were all written in Flash. They have tons of little Easter eggs and information for the event obsessives like me. Between fan backups and the Internet archive, the files are pretty complete thankfully. But since Flash has been dead for a while, I have to rely on the Ruffles Flash emulator to get it running on the web. But that doesn't work super well. On my list of things to do is to contribute to the project to try to get some of the files working.

In case anyone is curious about my backup of the event or if you're also a fan and have any of the files listed to share and archive, my site is hhncrypt.com!
In this case it isn't incompetence, it's immorality. Which sucks, but is to be expected from the private sector when there is no oversight.
How are AI-driven tools shaping modern social media presence?
As we dive deeper into the digital era, AI's impact on how we present ourselves online becomes more profound. With the rise of platforms and tools that use AI to assist users in crafting their digital personas, the traditional methods of creating online bios and profiles are undergoing a transformation. I recently launched Social Media Bio Generator, an AI tool designed to help users create compelling bios for platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I'd love to get the community's insights:

Have you used AI-driven tools for personal branding or bio generation?
What are the ethical considerations we should be thinking about?
How do you envision the future of our digital self-representation as AI continues to evolve?
I genuinely appreciate any feedback, experiences, or thoughts the community has to offer. If you have specific critiques about the tool, I'm all ears!
I read this as Quakebot and thought “The government is finally getting serious about these Quake hackers and cheaters.”
The majority of Rust code isn’t kernel extensions or embedded firmware, and its not like those use cases suffer any downsides by allowing the majority some more leeway. Therefore this strikes me as perfect being the enemy of good, but I guess that is Rust‘s culture.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but if the standard offering goes like (quote)

Magdalena Ridge Observatory | $80,000-$85,000/annum | Full-time | Socorro, NM, USA | Senior Software Engineer | ONSITE | VISA

The Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer (MROI) is an optical/near-infrared astronomical interferometer being built in central New Mexico, USA. It is being developed by a team of engineers and scientists at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT) and the University of Cambridge, UK. When completed, it will be a 10-telescope array capable of imaging objects with 50 times greater detail than the James Webb Space Telescope.

We are in the process of installing the second telescope on the array and anticipating “first fringes” in a few months, while the third telescope and beamline components are expected to arrive in about a year.

We are looking for an experienced software engineer to help develop the control and sequencing software to run the MROI system autonomously. They will assist the team in the initial deployment of the MROI and early scientific observations of astronomical and geosynchronous objects with this new cutting-edge facility.

Or we think we do, giving ourselves a much needed boost to ego and letting the cycle continue and keep everyone happy. Always assuming that we have made things "simple" because we know our way and not someone else's etc. That being said there's a lot of progress in the end but we take a lot of steps backwards to get there.

"Neat" vs. "scruffy" syncs well with my general take on Cyc. Thanks for that.

I do suspect that well-curated and hand-tuned corpora, including possibly Cyc's, are of significant use to LLM AI. And will likely be more so as the feedback / autophagy problem exacerbates.
CORBA is one of the few technologies purposefully designed to violate both the entirety of the Fallacies of Distributed Computing and the CAP theorem. It's a case study in awful ideas, week long troubleshooting nightmares, and angry customers.

You don't hear about it for the same reason it's impolite to talk about your top 10 favorite snuff films with customers. There is no situation where it's appropriate and anyone flirting with the notion needs to be dismissed before they doom your company.

CORBA is pure evil and you should not speak its name so lightly.
Despite being called capitalist, as a resident of the States that regularly visits other countries. I think many countries are more capitalist than the US, the US just gets called capitalist because we have fucked up healthcare and social services systems which themselves in the US to me seem like taking the worst aspects of socialism and combining them with the worst aspects of capitalism.
Of course, but for training data current LLMs seem to need quantity above all else.
Show HN: Patterns – Compare React Component Libraries
Hey HN! I built a website to discover React component libraries and UX interaction patterns: https://www.designpatterns.io/

Every time I start a new project, I always consider — at least, for a brief minute — using a component library I haven't tried before. This true more than ever after the popularity shadcn + radix primitives. But it's hard comparing buttons between libraries and their tradeoffs. For example, an unstyled button vs a button that comes with styling.

It's also interesting comparing interaction patterns between libraries. For example, how the animation of a dropdown is implemented, or how tooltips look.

If anyone has any feedback or found this helpful, we're all ears. We're thinking of adding more examples and expanding beyond just components. All for fun! Thanks!

Although judging from that, it sounds like Google may have changed policy so that even private data in the free versions is no longer used for AI training.

They stopped targeting ads in free Gmail based on your e-mail contents years ago because of the bad press. So maybe they've stopped training AI on free Gmail/Docs data out of similar precaution, now that LLM's are everywhere in the news.
