> "And yet they do interfere. We've seen plenty of evidence, from Russia, Iran, China and (I still can't believe how they got competent at this, but there you go) North Korea." (Emphasis; Mine - To single out the bit I'm replying to specifically.)

I still can't believe how readily so very many people continue to fall for it time and again, despite the lessons of history.
> This didn’t have to be the case. It was purpose built around these megalithic designs by these large companies.

I agree, because it was the easiest way to solve the problem of providing value to users. Redundancy and coupling of unrelated implementations is expensive. In the extreme, its O(N^2) expensive if you're going to bridge every separate system. Far easier to just build it once.

> Having to do more work wouldn’t be a thing if the protocols were designed to aid communication outside of corporate channels.

Sure, but rephrasing that would be "if companies did more work at no direct benefit to themselves, it would be easier for people to not use their software." Where is the benefit to them? And if this were easy to do, why hasn't the open source community done it? The only thing stopping them is when they build it, nobody (modulo the rounding error of dyed-in-the-wool computer fans) actually wants to use it.

> It’s not that people don’t want to. They don’t know any better and are addicted... People are afraid, not unwilling. Big brother says it’s not safe, so they go to the cozy sphere they know and regrettably trust with too much of their lives.

I used to believe this. I have come around to the thinking that after spending decades telling people what they should want, maybe I'm wrong and people know what they want better than me.

Mastodon is free and (relatively) easy to install and maintain. Why do people stay on Twitter? It's not because Elon Musk is tricking them.

I think you make a point regarding Big Brother, but it underestimates the benefits of staying in the maintained channels. If someone steals my money out of my bank account, the FDIC makes me whole. Who makes me whole when someone steals my Bitcoin? If Facebook did something illegal to me, they're a big enough target for the FBI to intervene. Who intervenes if my Mastodon admin uses my PII against me? They're judgment-proof, and criminal investigation doesn't enforce on small potataoes like that.

Larger, consolidated firms are bigger targets and easier to keep in line. A lot of crime happens in the ecosystem of small communities not in the spotlight.

> People lived under monarchies for a long time before a streak of luck, war, and land changed it.

People have all the tools to change out of corporate systems right now; they don't because it would make their lives worse, materially. They're not waiting for a savior to walk them off the plantation; they had the option to wander off in the wildnerness and they chose to live (virtually) where people are.

Indeed. I think it fulfills some sort of social need to read/hear back my own thinking in slightly different and often more coherent words. It gives me a feeling of being understood, which is of course sort of artificial when writer of the text is someone who doesn't even know who I am.

It feels sort of related to the technique therapists seem to use; based on patient's rambling stories, they summarize how they feel in much more succinct way than they themselves would have been able to, which makes them feel like they are finally being understood, which often results in tears.

It would be great if this was that simple (and in general I agree with you), but Bukele taking over El Salvador was an exception: the whole judicial system was captured by criminals that enabled killing people on a mass scale, he got rid of it all, and crime rate went down significantly.

He also changed the (otherwise unfair) constitution that prohibited him from going for reelection, although at that point I believe a referendum would have been a much better solution.

I'm seeing the same taking over court happening in other countries, so I just don't think there's a simple solution that can be applied in all cases.
You're rejecting this article, and the entire publication because it doesn't confirm your current understanding? You're suggesting to switch away from common metrics because they don't provide the answer you expected?

That strategy won't get you far.

Of course, one article is a drop in the bucket. But take it for what it is, not reject it because it doesn't follow the narrative you have. People like the narrative of generational politics that is currently popular, but that's probably because it gives them something to blame that's easy to point at... yet the plot holes are massive and obvious when you open your eyes to them.

Ask HN: How do I copy a large directory from an old Mac to a new Mac?
I tried air drop but it fails with large directories.

I also tried looking at the Time Machine backup of the old Mac but the new Mac doesn't have permission to see it for some reason.

As for migration assistant, I don't think it allows you to copy a home directory from your old Mac to a subdirectory of your home directory in your new Mac.

So what should I try?

P.S. It seems that I can't use a Time Machine external disk to copy files back and forth, even manually using "cp -rp".
Watch for RedFlow batteries, they are made of bromine liquid tracks which is a fire retardant.

I’m hoping they can scale up manufacturing and lower pricing with time because it seems an option with plenty of desirable strengths in this kind of scenario.

> Usually this is rebutted with a reference to apparently skyrocketing housing costs, thankfully the author addresses this shortly after.

Does he, though? He only mentions how much gen-z is SPENDING on housing and education, not what they're actually getting for their money. Most gen-z I know have given up on home ownership, and those who did buy are buying some pretty shitty parcels at exorbitant prices. They're also choosing less expensive education options.

But the main assets that most people build from (housing and education) are either not there or less effective...

What's frustrating is they're good at the value they add: documentation, UI/UX, their model zoo thing, etc. This alone is something to be proud of and adds a lot of value. As of this writing they have 2,377 commits - there is quite a bit of effort and resulting value in what they're doing.

However, IMO it is pretty sleazy that they frequently make claims like "Ollama now supports X" with zero mention of llama.cpp[0] - an incredible project that makes what they're doing possible in the first place and largely enables these announcements. They don't even mention llama.cpp in their Github README or release notes which cranks the sleaze up a few notches.

I don't know who they are or what their "angle" is but this reeks of "some business opportunity/VC/something is going to come along and we'll cash in on AI hype while potentially misrepresenting what we're actually doing". To a more naive audience that doesn't quite understand the shoulders of giants they're standing on it makes it seem that they are doing far more than they actually are.

Of course I don't know this is the case but it sure looks like it and it would be trivial for them to address this but they're also very good at marketing and I assume that takes priority.

I'm not anti-EU, on the contrary, but honestly the claim is true in practice. I'm not going to give you any hard data, but I think it's just obvious in plain sight.

At least in my country, almost all the debate in news outlets is about national or local issues. EU regulations do come up, but they are always depicted as something that comes "from above" and not tied to specific parties or people. If there is controversy about a national law, the media will blame things on the government or on the opposition (depending on their bias). If there is controversy about an European law, the media will blame an abstract "Brussels"... or directly the government or the opposition anyway, as they're the ones who implement it.

In the EU elections, most (euphemism for all) people I know just vote to the party they prefer in terms of national or regional politics. Almost no one votes because they want a given European directive to be implemented.

Sometimes I have actually made some effort to find out what each of my country's parties voted in some EU decision, and most of the times I failed. It's not clear what decisions come from the Commission or from Parliament (many come from the Commission which is not even directly elected but elected by local governments, by the way). And even for those from Parliament, it's not clear how to find detailed results of Parliament votes. Mind you, I'm not saying there is no way - probably there is one, if you are very well informed or have a lot of time, but there is definitely no way that I could find in 20 minutes of Googling, and most people won't make a greater investment than that.

Not sure if it's the same in all countries, and not sure how to fix it... but yes, I do have the perception that EU institutions are detached from citizens.

That said, this has its pros. If citizens had more of a say, we'd probably have no low-emmission zones, no or almost no pollution regulations, etc. Many environmental policies that are, IMO, unquestionably good, are pushed to reluctant citizens using the "hey, don't blame me, it comes from Brussels" wildcard, and we are better for it (again, IMO). Sad, but true.
First of all, I think many projects just waited before dipping their toes in kotlin.

Now that java itself is adding many functionalities inspired from other languages, it's much less appealing.

I saw some backend projects at $company, and after 2 or 3 years, the decision was made to only use java on new files, and convert kotlin files to java when they are touched. Why? The kotlin compiler was so much slower that it was noticeable, while javac is still very fast. Another reason is available talent not related to Android. Lastly, its value proposition wasn't high enough to justify a different language, especially with java 17 and later.

That being said, even quarkus provides kotlin apis nowadays, so it's not like it doesn't happen.

US and British democracy certainly aren't the best implementations around. If you wanted to divide and rule you couldn't come up with a better voting system for that than first-past-the-post.
That sounds like the generational dynasty of modern American politics. And that's my original point: as birds of a similar feather flock together and start up political parties and enterprises that might eventually become immovable behemoths or peripherals or complements to the giants, other groups don't get to use these now already consumed resources which were used to establish empires, dynasties, and corporations. As a result of the national entropy progressing forward unencumbered, the population that can be sustained in the area, the nation's territories, is decreased, especially as time, now a representative of entropy, progresses. The force that dwindles a land's capacity for life works at a rate where the future is accurately seen as desolate. No investor that is serious about astronomical returns should ever look at planet Earth for keeping a portfolio.

And that's why effective accelerationism was born. To economically and scientifically venture out to new places where money may keep its present value. At the effective science, we have the bravery to investigate conditions considered impossible by the mainstream. We're sailing down a river where the flow is unprecedented and the source of new investments and potentials. A battery of possibilities, even the impossible possibilities.

>The only thing that hints at an answer is "well, USMCA passed, so this is totally going to fly." Which is stupid because USMCA was essentially a reissuing and rebranding of NAFTA for the temper tantrum president and passed largely because it wasn't changing all that much from NAFTA.

The USMCA was a huge attack on Canada revoking a ton of benefits that we had been building for decades.

Dairy, Automotive/steel, and intellectual property/copyright were huge concessions that Canada lost.

To note, Biden's first day executive orders attacked Canada a great deal as well.

> The moment something is marked as the bad thing, hordes of people absolutely pile onto it out of nowhere.

This isn’t “out of nowhere”. Humane and their AI pin have been marketed an d talked an kur all over Internet tech spaces for a very long time. I’ve been seeing talk about the Humane AI pin in these same channels (YouTube, Twitter, tech websites) frequently since they were funded.

People have been forming opinions and skepticism for a long time. The key thing that changed is that the product finally transitioned from hypothetical to reality, and suddenly everyone’s thoughts were confirmed all at once.

This is nothing like your photo of a pub getting talked about on Twitter for a brief moment. AI and AI hardware have been a hot topic for years and Humane has been pushing marketing materials and demos on social media for a long time.

They made themselves the center of the conversation. Now the rubber hits the road and they have to deal with being the center of the conversation without having the substance to back up their big social media push.

The real mob mentality is all of the people who are arriving late to this multi-year buildup and trying to scorn the reviewers and critics.
