The problem is that Democratic policies do not result in promised outcomes. For example, higher minimum wage sounds good on paper, but then you have a hard time finding a job or affording basic essentials. So people become allergic to people who seem to bring decay. I am not saying Republican policies are a picture of practicality.

The UK always has a Leader of the Opposition ready to make the case that they could be the next Prime Minister.

Technically we only vote for the representative in our local constituency, but who is going to end up PM is a big factor. We know what the options are before the election is announced: the current PM and the Leader of the Opposition (although in theory the leader of one of the smaller parties is also possible). Therefore no need for a primary process.

> Being black or latino is a disqualifying trait for playing a Roman emperor in a movie

Given a person playing a Roman Emperor is acting in a role not laboring as a ruler, consider that:

The emperors Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius -- among Rome's best and wisest rulers -- and the poet Seneca all were of Spanish origin.

The Four African Emperors were Septimius Severus, Clodius Albinus, Marcus Macrinus and Aemilianus.

Given the mundane title, I wasn't expecting that to go where it did.
It takes a bit of trial and error to get comment sections summarized well. This is what I use: Give a report on the key insights from the following comment section. Do not include a title and do not discuss the name of the post or the name of the site, we already know that. Your report should be structured using paragraphs and it should discuss the points covered. In addition to the main points be sure to include insightful niche points that may not be as popular or ignored by other commenters. For each point discuss any notable arguments, counter arguments, or anecdotes.\n\nComment section:\n\n$commentSection

It's still a bit experimental. Hacker News comment sections are very large (100k+) characters so it probably won't find everything. It also adds a summary section at the end which is annoying but not too bad. And it will literally say 'these are niche points'. I find it a bit funny but there's no reason to fix it.

There are also different kinds of difficulty speaking. When he was younger, Biden would trip over words or say something not quite right, or make gaffes (supporting same sex marriage before it was the admin policy).

But now his difficulty seems to come from difficulty understanding what is happening around him. He seemed confused by his surroundings multiple times during that awful debate.

I've seen a lot of Biden supporters pointing to his stutter and speaking difficulties, but his troubles have qualitatively and quantitatively changed, and definitely for the worse.
I really dislike this idea that someone can be "too old" to be president. The issue isn't age, it's the conditions and diseases that often come with age.

The issue with Biden for me wasn't his age at all, it was that for whatever reason he was struggling to form coherent sentences. Trump on the other hand seems more or less completely fine. I'd actually argue the best thing about Biden was that he was perhaps the most qualified person to president ever given his long history and respected history in politics.

That said, I do think the older the presidential candidate is the more important it becomes to weight their VP pick when casting your vote, but still, I don't think this reason trend of discounted people solely on their age is a healthy trend. I'd even argue that the ideal age for a leader is probably quite old, maybe around 50-60.

I remember that too, it was never said explicitly but heavily implied like "he'll return things to normal and then pass the torch to the younger generation" and such comments.

The 2 parties' bases will vote for whoever their candidate is, and their work is just to convince the undecideds. An HN commenter a while ago wrote, they don't get who in the hell can be so stupid/ignorant to still be undecided in this election. I feel like to win them over, the candidates have to rely on the halo effect, ie. sadly even just on looks. The young and fit-looking Whitmer, or Newsom, seem to be the best candidates. It's shallow, but consider the voters.

Obama's charisma and youth surely helped a lot. Trump is tall and he was a good-looking young man, and his swagger has let him get away with being a total POS for 77-78 years.
Harris at least has legitimacy as having received votes as the vp, and extra scrutiny given Biden's age. The optics of pushing her out would be tragic.
That’s just how you do it. It would have been far, far more damaging for him to spend a few weeks going “ah, well, maybe I won’t run”. It always looks a bit silly in retrospect, but total confidence right up until you change direction is just how you have to do politics, in general.

That's the way it should be? Donations to a candidate's reelection committee are for the benefit of that candidate and severely limited by law ($3300 per donor per candidate per election). Treating inter-committee transfers as something other than donations would allow trivial circumvention of the 'per candidate' restriction - just run a bunch of nobodies, fill their coffers, and then have them drop and transfer to a single candidate

I'll admit this is a bit silly in light of PAC/SuperPAC spending now, but we did have election spending rules at one point and this was one of them.
The fundamental problem is that nobody but Biden won the primary. The time to debate over and vote on an alternate has come and gone, and this (along with his decision to run at the last minute in 2020) are things I don’t know I can ever forgive him for.

At this point the VP has the most legitimacy as a successor and given the situation we’re forced into she’s unambiguously the option. That doesn’t make it good, but it makes it better than all the other terrible options that involve a free-for-all between candidates with no opportunity for voters to weigh in.

The best possible outcome at this point is for the establishment to quickly and unanimously get behind Harris. Again, it’s not necessarily a good outcome. But it’s the best available to us thanks to Biden waiting for the last possible moment (again) to come to this realization.

> If there was a liberal-prog core then Bernie would have been a two term president already.

He meant socially, not economically. Democrats are made up of very left social issues and centrist economic issues, Bernie who is very left economically of course has a hard time there. But still the Democrats are very left, just not in terms of taxes, but in terms of affirmative action etc.

Those are very left wing and USA is more left wing on those issues than most of the world, even Europe is much more reluctant to go that hard on those things. So yes, Democrats are very left wing, just not in the ways that makes things better for poor people, they are social signaling kind of left wing and center/right on taxes and wealth transfer.

Afghanistan or the Taliban didn't attack the US – bin Laden did, who had no position in the Afghan government. Taliban refused to extradite Bin Laden to the US, and the US refused any compromise such as extradition to another country. All of that is a rather different thing than "they attacked us".

Regardless, Obama, Trump, and Biden had to deal with the situation as they found it, whether they agreed with the lead-up or not.

I don’t get how “field sobriety testing” in the sense of observing someone perform some coordinated actions is still a thing. In Ireland if stopped by a member of the police (Gardai) and they have suspicion they can require you to provide a breath or saliva sample. If you pass you are free to go, if you fail or refuse you are escorted to a police station and provide a blood sample or urine sample (I think this depends on if suspected of alcohol or drug offences) refusal to provide the sample is an offence
It’s a shame this is getting downvoted to death, as it illustrates the biggest real problem with our voting system, and also illustrates the biggest reason that Dems are at a disadvantage: principles over party. Republicans are much better at voting together for their party and not fretting about whether individual candidates meet their principles, which in turn (maybe ironically) gets them much better support for their principles.

Before deciding not to vote, here’s one thing to maybe consider: which vote is more likely to get us any closer to ranked-choice voting, so that you can vote without caving on your principles in the future, and/or maybe getting rid of the electoral college? Conservatives are benefitting massively from the electoral college, gerrymandering, and strong collective party action. Both voting right, and not voting, delays the possibility of an outcome where we can vote on our principles. Dems are losing the vote often, and losing support for their shared principles as a result, despite having an actual majority, due to the party being splintered over principles and being less willing to vote collectively.

(Note I’m in favor of voting on principles and not blindly on party. I wish we had a voting system that enabled it. Just pointing out the realities of the different party strategies as I see them.)

You need to install the XDNA and XRT drivers, then install the Vitis AI compiler (needs a free license) and then you can compile your own custom kernels using mlir-aie using plain old C++. They give you an easy to use API for vectorization. The hardest part is organizing the data transfer through the tiles.

In principle this can accelerate anything you can run on a normal CPU as long as it is a streaming workload i.e. single pass or your entire data fits in the memory tiles.

The vector registers are at least 1024 bit wide and you get 32 tiles/cores.
Bipartisan legislation is literally the worst of the worst. When both sides agree on something, you know the citizens are really getting screwed
I’ve said this elsewhere, but it seems like democrats have a problem with democracy, at least within their party. In 2016 shenanigans were pulled to bypass Bernie and the DNC won a lawsuit on the claim that they have no obligation to nominate the candidate selected by the people.[0] The 2020 primaries played out in a similar fashion with Biden having a difficult time and every other candidate stepping aside to allow him to have the nomination. Now I’m 2024 an entire nation has been disenfranchised of their primary selection and the foremost candidate being proposed never received any votes by anyone for a nomination to the highest office (she ended her candidacy before any primary in 2020).

Biden keeps saying democracy is at stake but the DNC seems to keep avoid any democratic process to find their candidate.
