> Why GM is pushed so hard.

Well go on, don't just eldude to it. Spell it out.

My understanding is that GM is pushed so hard because while farming is the most necessary thing humans do, it's also highly undesirable labor and the pay is shit. It's also risky business, on a long enough timeline every crop fails.

Consumers should grow their own food if they are worried. See how hard it is.

My experience is that 99% of the people who are agasinst Roundup haven't ever done a day's farming.
I see. The quotes from the owners of the vehicle describe rather bad, but not extraordinary bad weather. One of course can assume lying on behalf of the owners, but why wouldn’t one equally assume poor handling of a manufacturing issue on behalf of the servicer?
I dont think NY puts the threshold at 1% of gun deaths. FWIW guns that NY defines as assault weapons are responsible for less than 1% of gun deaths and around 0% of all murders, but they still spend a disproportionate amount of effort legislating them

That sounds (almost literally) unbelievable to me. I've had periods of eating trash and periods of eating healthy home made food. It doesn't make any difference to how I feel.

(I understand people are different, I was just surprised how far from my experience this is).
I wonder if, in future, there will be specific days and seasons to commemorate AI achievements. Like, if Wall-E was a real story would we have a holiday to honor him? Maybe even just observed by the machines / operators?

Oh you mean the 99% of “creators” flooding YouTube with repetitive and ai-generated crap content to leverage ad revenue “ethically”? They can go pound sand as far as I’m concerned.

There is great content in YouTube for sure but let’s face it, 99% is garbage designed to 1) latch on to popular trends to get more views and 2) use that to show ads and generate revenue for what’s essentially no content at all - just random garbage.

> But it's not fundamentally antithetical to Socialism to recognize the people who choose to work more.

Fair point, and I think there are definitely enough resources to support people with disabilities or incapable of working for other extreme reasons. I guess the main discussion would be around where exactly to draw the line such that we're not forcing people to pay for those that choose to not work.

>I also genuinely believe that when you remove the necessity of "I need to work an excess to ensure I can afford to support my family's basic needs"

It depends on how we define "excess work". Unfortunately some people's excess work is another person's daily morning routine. If the productive person is not fairly rewarded, they will stop trying or even worse try something illegal or immoral. I think there are still a number of creative solutions to try, things like facilitating sponsorships for people of all ages to learn new skills, or investing in a public "linkedin" of sorts that is free and uses AI to match people with jobs. There are many creative and cheap things to try, and artificially imposing a certain "living wage" which constantly changes isn't addressing the root of the problem, which is that many people don't understand how to leverage the job market, their skills, etc.
While I don't think the legislation make sense, I don't think it's not a problem. Here's some statistics:

> Last year, police departments seized at least 25,785 ghost guns nationwide, the Justice Department said recently, and those are just the weapons submitted by police to ATF for tracing, even though they don’t have serial numbers and largely cannot be traced.

> In 2021, the number of guns recovered was 19,344, meaning seizures rose 33 percent the following year. ATF has linked ghost guns to 692 homicides and nonfatal shootings through 2021, including mass killings and school shootings.

- https://wapo.st/3tA4F39

> The report found that annual law enforcement seizures of guns without serial numbers [in California] have risen 16-fold over the last decade, going from fewer than 1,300 in the early 2010s to more than 20,000 in both 2021 and 2022. The rise in ghost guns has happened alongside a pandemic-era surge in gun violence in California and the nation as a whole.

I don't know of any... "non-victimless" crimes committed with 3D printed firearms, but this legislation may be related to the guy in Port Jervis who was caught "manufacturing" via 3D printer this summer. I don't know more details than what's in this article. Though the crime here is manufacturing, the guy must have been distributing them for this narcotics task force to find him.

The question was 'why is there something rather than nothing.'

I believe: '...it was good...' is the answer. Why was it good? Because, at first there was nothing. Then, there was something, light, and _that_ was good, not the nothing.

The question I believe you wish to ask, without asking, is: "God, why do you exist?"

That's not this question though.
btw, note that certain Apple services (like App Store and OS telemetry) bypass any VPN that's enabled on the iPhone.
It's not mentioned in the article, but I'm curious if they have the same plans for Marcus.
> People hearing your music is nice and all

As a listener, this is my entire concern, use case, and reason for paying for a streaming site: finding new music to listen to. I don't think I'm unique. Artists should get more, which is why I pay for Spotify Premium, but the use case of a listener is important. Bandcamp doesn't address that, for me.
Seems like the Teslas in that video do better than most ICE vehicles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmm7AfLMAqY
Thats not copyright works. How its used is a EULA or service agreement. Your example shows this. A distributor has no rights to distribute a copyright under copyright law, you grant him those rights for something into return. A copyright license can not tell me how i use a copyrighted work outside of act of making a copy. What AGPL is saying that you're distributing their IP because it exposes an API or a GUI which is they claim that its their IP thus subjected to copyright law.

Once i have a legal of copy of code, i can do anything i want to it even if the copyright license forbids it as long as i don't distribute the code. I can make as many private copies as i want and deploy it on as many servers as i want without trigger copyright law.
> Your comment sounds vengeful to the very people you'd turn to if you were facing a medical crisis.

No, it's vengeful to the cartel that restricts the number of doctors that are allowed to exist[1]. Now there aren't enough radiologists[2]. If AI can solve this problem and get everyone the needed care, I'm all for it. The end that society is pursuing is a healthy population that isn't crippled by medical costs. If you're able to earn a living solving that problem, wonderful. If you're not, I'm sorry, but the medical field shouldn't primarily be a welfare system that incidentally provides health care.

Most of what I've been able to find have been people getting busted for manufacturing or possession without an associated violent crime. It also appears a number of departments can't (or won't) recognize printed firearms and just call everything without a serial number a "ghost gun" and call it a day.
> I've (ab)used the behavior of "first to be matched wins" a ton in my career

Even if the framework could guarantee the order of registration, this source-order heuristic is easy when you work alone or in a small team. Good luck guaranteeing order of routes in a large project with many teams.

Actually forcing you to not depend on things that can cause hidden bugs is a good design decision.
That hasn't helped any. I have almost 1100 liked songs, several dozen liked albums, and several years of near daily listening. The recommendations are still less good (for me) than what YouTube recommended without an account, just based on my listening history.

> A lot of people forget that the word "press" in the phrase "freedom of the press" refers to an actual printing press, not the modern term that people confuse for corporate journalism.

Can you cite that? It's pretty clear that freedom of "speech" isn't limited to literal verbal speech. I'm not sure I've ever seen the suggestion that the authors of the constitution were overly concerned with the literal mechanism of printing, so much as the ability of the citizens to publish information.
Well, with the distinction being made it seems that a door push plate with barbed wire welded to it would be a current/changed meaning affordance that it can't be pushed (or anti-affordance if you will) but in the original meaning.. it's either neutral or an affordance that it can be pushed because it physically can be.

Or a pull handle on a door that should actually push open - I think that was an example given when I studied it, I think there was another term for it but I can't recall, a 'misleading affordance', say. But in the supposed original meaning it's just still an affordance for pushing, because it does physically allow that, even if it looks like it should pull?

If it's correct, the original meaning just seems redundant to me, the changed one seems to make more sense and be more useful, but perhaps I still haven't understood the top level comment.
Ask HN: Why don't AI artists show their prompts?
When I started working with LLMs a few months ago everyone shared their prompts in a spirit of discovery. Now that I'm trying out image generation it seems no one shares their prompts. It's almost like open source prompts vs. proprietary prompts.

Fortunately I found a work around. Google Reverse Image search allows me to nail down the style fairly accurately. For example, I was able to find the style of one image to accurately duplicate the style as "Futuristic Art Deco Design with Cubism, Neo-Classicism, and the work of Italian Mannerists" in just a couple of minutes.
It depends upon what they are calling a puddle. I've seen a ten foot span of road covered by nearly a foot of water (at it's deepest point). Going at speed in a car, it may not look like much. I have also seen photos of people trying to go through fairly significant chunks of flooded roads. If there are people willing to do that, there are probably even more people who would go through something they perceive as a puddle.
Ask HN: What's the "one book" in your discipline?
Today in the post about mid-level backend engineering courses, someone offered "just buy this book" (Designing Data-Intensive Applications) and other commenters echoed support for the book. A few weeks ago in a thread about ML someone commented to the effect of "Everything you need to know in ML is in this book" (Deep Learning with Python) and again people chimed in supporting it. Maybe those two examples are actually off base, but I love the idea of the "one book" where you can get a decently complete picture of a given subject and level of expertise. So HN, what's your discipline and "one book"?
Signals scare the hell out of me- that was the first point in learning about UNIX programming that made me question everything I'd learned about what is available to you as a function implementor/UNIX user in user space. It got even worse when I moved to threads and sudddenly I couldn't reconcile threads with signals (which are very process-oriented).

Reentrant code gives me the same willies- or more correctly, it was a big surprise that people wrote code that depended on static values to store state between invocations.
Of course, and it's also not _just_ a share, which is the comment I was responding to. 49% of a company's outstanding public shares is a significant portion. It's 2% away from controlling, and a fun merger event.

This could well be a regional thing, but where I’m from most who decry industrial cattle farming do so along with industrial agriculture.

Epic post. I've always been a huge fan of pie menus, ever since I first encountered them in The Secret of Mana, and those were even a fairly inelegant version of them. I'm not sure they're better than linear menus for keyboard + mouse (emphasis on keyboard), but they seem like an obvious win for joysticks and for touch (which is really a lot like a joystick).

Monsanto introduced proprietary GMO crops that were resistant to Roundup so you could easily wipe out every plant that wasn’t the crop (aka “weeds”). It was a package deal.

It's also a little hard to square that enemy with the earlier enemy of "...anti-merit, anti-ambition, anti-striving, anti-achievement, anti-greatness." So we're opposed to credentialed experts in favor of "the real world" but also opposed to those who don't care about merit or achievement? Are credentials and expertise not a reasonable measure of merit and achievement and aren't excessive appeals to the wisdom of the average textbook anti-merit populist nonsense?

I'm actually a fan of the overall idea of techno optimism. But it's hard to get behind a version that starts out with the premise that we should exclude experts who've spent their lifetime focused on getting really good at knowing WTF they are talking about presumably in favor of billionaire VCs who can speak to the "real world". Don't get me wrong, if we're going to become a galaxy spanning civilization or whatever, we'll certainly need large and regular doses of reality. But we'll also need a lot of credentialed expertise.

I’d been wondering this myself and now suspect I’ve written off Apple too soon. If I buy music from Apple on my iPhone it’s not trapped on Apple devices?

When I first switched to iOS I didn’t see any way to play my music in Apple’s music player and I assumed the door was closed both directions.
It's funny; this is the polar opposite of how I listen to music. I only listen to albums, and 95% of playlists I listen to are my own and just contain a series of albums.
The invention was having a card accepted across a wide range of merchants (all under different ownership).

Store accounts/cards have indeed been around significantly longer.

The distinction between a credit and a charge card is not that relevant in that context, in my view: For both, you spend an issuer’s money at unaffiliated merchants and pay the issuer back later.

I don't think it's that weird.

In a boom cycle, it's not a great use of resources to try to really tighten up the manger/report ratios because the size of the org because the slack lets you grow faster. The higher the growth, the more managers at a more inefficient manager/report ratio generally.

Certain orgs in LinkedIn were growing really fast. Now they're not and they know the headcount for the next year, time to ratchet down the number of managers to get a more steady, cost-efficient ratio.

There are many other explanations for people that have these views that are not anti-scientific.

The precautionary principle is one.

Not wanting agribusiness to create patented crops is another.

Recognizing that what we mean by nutrient-dense foods are more than just synthesizing more vitamin D or niacin in a plant.

But sure, there is plenty of irrationality to go ‘round too. Just be rational yourself in understanding why people oppose some of these ideas.

> Business logic should be extremely thin.

> This idea of a dumbstore is highly misguided. No framework works like this. The database is the workhorse of the basic web application, the application layer is suppose to be the thinnest layer. Your ORM, query builder or SQL code is where most of the logic real should lie.

Like it or not, all the big mainstream web frameworks are oriented towards having the business logic in the application layer. Again, look at what kind of querying the ORM supports.

> The basic SQL query is this: SELECT <COLUMNS> FROM <TABLE> that is list retrieval at an API level and Not just implementation details. A key value store looks like this: VALUE = MAP[KEY] Understand?

> There is no equivalent of key value fetching in SQL, you basically have to filter that list with SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE id = ...

If you look at the ORM APIs and the way mainstream web frameworks use them, fetching an object by primary key is very much the primary supported way of using them. MySQL even added the option of querying via the memcached protocol after their benchmarks showed that for typical web services it was taking 3x as long to parse the SQL as actually running the query.
Not all ghost guns are 3D printed. There is a possibility that not a single one of those guns were 3D printed.
