I've been kicking the thought around myself.

One of TFG's prime superpowers is claiming the media limelight, and all that's been going on with the Democratic ticket since 27 June has robbed him of that. Hell, a week ago he came within an inch of being permanently removed from any future, let alone a political one ... and that's scarcely being discussed. I'm not convinced that "no news is bad news", and that all attention is good, but ... at least in terms of attention, the Dems have been winning this battle for the past several weeks.

The other thought is that the general election all but certainly swings not on converting voters but motivating them. Or demotivating.

I've been thinking of a Harris-Whitmer ticket, which would play to Dem strengths among Blacks, women, blue-collar/industrial voters, and one of the key swing states (Michigan (15 EV)).

Other states in play are Nevada (6), Wisconsin (10), Pennsylvania (19), and Georgia (16).

MI, WI, and PA currently lean Dem, which would give an electoral majority, taking NV and Georgia (very slightly GOP) would ice that cake.

An argument against a split ticket is that there might be a greater chance of strongly motivating marginal Democratic voters. The argument for a split ticket might be to take dissatisfied Republicans (or former Republicans), though how much any of the candidates listed above might draw is questionable. Romney is strongly associated with Utah, which will all but certainly go GOP (99% by 538's forecast), Cheney with Wyoming, similarly inclined, and with a small population (and electoral vote) to boot. Whether either can draw GOP votes from elsewhere, and most especially in critical states such as those listed, or perhaps AZ (surprisingly close), NC, FL, or TX (rather more distant likelihoods, but potentially huge if doable) is the question.

It'll be interesting watching this play out, no doubt.

The more I think about it, the less I think a split ticket works, though I think it's worth considering in future.

>as I said I don't think checking historical trends is excuse for current policy.

I wasn't excusing current policy. I was making the case that Trump's economic failures were due in large part to Republican Party policies, not just to covid.

>first two years of his presidency deficit was relatively low

It took him a while to overcome Obama's economic policies, but he was certainly making headway in damaging the US economy and increasing deficit spending by the time covid hit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_Donal...

>this is a loaded question.

Well, that's a novel use of the term "loaded question". It wasn't even a question at all; it was a simple statement of my opinion.

>One would need to do some quantitative calculation...

Fortunately, the field of economics is dedicated to doing quantitative calculations and making assessments like these.

Economists strongly favor policies that Democrats tend to adopt (especially demand-side economics: think lower taxes for the poor and higher taxes for the rich and for businesses, relief of personal debt, a stronger safety net for the unemployed, cheaper and more accessible healthcare, more spending on public services that aid economic development such infrastructure and education, etc.) and oppose economic policies that Republicans tend to adopt (especially supply-side economics: lower taxes for the rich and for businesses, union busting, a weaker safety net for the unemployed, healthcare that preferences insurance companies, reduced spending or even outright privatization of public services that aid economic development such as the postal service, etc.).

> They are "liberal" in that they want to track the race of everyone in the country etc

The US Census has tracked race from the beginning. America has always been very race conscious.

> Liberal means individualism, freedom of thought, meritocracy, Democrats are not very into those things

Depends on your point of view. There's plenty of examples that refute that, and plenty that show those values challenged in the opposing party. More so, the word is a label, not a credo; the party is a big tent.

There's plenty of issue of concern about the Democratic party but not what you listed. I'm not a party member but find them less objectionable than their opponents.
This does not indicate abstract reasoning. I said:

> Where they do logical tasks, that can be done with minimal or no understanding, because syllogisms and logical formalisms are highly structured in text arguments.

There is an enormous amount of text in the training set that is structured in the way you said such that syntactic replacement would be effective. That is also unsurprising and does not represent abstract reasoning any more than "King - Man + Woman = Queen" in word2vec. It's showing that there's high degrees of structure in syllogisms, and that it need know nothing about what a gronk, floot, or klorp is at all because the structure of the syllogism is repeated all over the internet.
Ironic to see paper publishing of radical state analytics: those papers demanded a highly structured state exist, to allow complex modern phototypesetting and distribution systems to exist, and the underpinnings of mechanical, electrical and computational engineering which make it possible to mass produce books.

In order to document the state, it is necessary to at least partially exist inside the state. In order to critique the state, you depend on the state to provide the means of production of that critique. If not one state, then another. And so in like terms, your critique will be co-opted for somebody else's benefit. Thats the nature of states.

Scott was not Ayn Rand. She was apparently lucid enough to realise her core dependency on the state, and had a complex end, in state provided health care.
I really want to like RFK but find myself only agreeing with him on a few topics. That said, I also really want to see more people viewing a third party as a legitimate option that isn't a wasted vote.

I'd argue that most votes are wasred given that most states are solidly aligned with one party or another. I happen to live in a strongly Republican state, making every ballot I've cast for Democrats effectively meaningless.

I think you’d still need a CPU.

1. Once again why no other site tried the "one time entry" fee to limit spam. Doesn't even have to be 10 bux; I think 1 dollar would go a long way to filter out 90+% of low effort trolls. And if they make sockpuppets: cool. money and easy banning.

I think by third choice he meant an outcome other than Trump or the Democratic nominee (presumed Harris, I guess?) winning this election. One of them will definitely win and the other will definitely lose; I’m with you that they don’t have to do it with our votes specifically.

I can imagine a Rust-like language where we have move-constructors (in TFA), and every generated Future subtype is opaque and also heap allocated for us.

I think the need for Pin could then disappear, because the user would have no way to destroy it, since it's opaque and elsewhere on the heap, and therefore no way to move it (because having move-constructors implies that moving is conceptually destroying then recreating things).
Rust dev team cares too much about async and webdev imho. Yes I know the web is where 95% of programming jobs live now. But as a C++ systems programmer I simply could not care less about the web. Rust is a systems language trying to get its foot in the web door. I'd selfishly rather it focus on being a superior C/C++. Alas.
> We've got 8 high HBM, but will we have 100 in even 8 years or 1000 in another 8 more?

No, probably not, but that's not the point.
The point is that now memory and logic (in case of HBM) can be further decoupled, allowing us to use processes optimized for each, instead of having to compromise one for the other.
This will allow for cheaper and faster iteration.

You're correct that 3D scaling will likely not go very far, but that's not the key part; the ability to tightly couple heterogeneous dies, allowing for specialization and decoupling of processes, is the key to further scaling.
It rarely is, but you know what they say about nazis at a bar. Same thing applies here. Even if there's one extra step of ironic nazism -> real nazis finding good company.
I totally agree with you here. I would support almost any Congressional candidate that I believe to honestly want to push through a change in this direction to our electoral system.
For now I just don't see Congress actually considering such a fundamental change to our electoral system, its rare enough that they pass a budget on time.

> Nobody really wants to even talk about the cost. Which is of course substantial. Especially people in favor of building more nuclear capacity to add to this problem.

Especially, also, those in favour of an electric future filled with PV panels and batteries.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not simping for the pro-nuclear lobby and I want to see an electric future.

But very few people ever mention the radioactive waste that comes with Rare Earth processing.

eg:

The Lynas plant in Gebeng, Kuantan, 264 km. (164 miles) from Kuala Lumpur, had faced scrutiny over a lack of a safe disposal solution for its radioactive and toxic wastes. Chang said Lynas's permanent disposal facility, which has a capacity of 1.6 million metric tons, holds 1.2 million metric tons of waste.

I think it's a good thing that people give a damn about radioactive waste, it's not so good when they only focus on a single source.

Java, How Fast Can You Parse 1B Rows of Weather Data? [video]
This paper is excessively optimistic.

The reason is that the energy efficiency values appear to be based on synthesizing saturated fatty acids.

Fat that is intended for human consumption must consist mostly of the unsaturated oleic acid. Only a small proportion of saturated fatty acids is admissible besides the oleic acid. This is one of the few facts about human nutrition that can be considered as known to be true beyond any reasonable doubt.

So after the synthesis of stearic acid by the path considered in this paper, an additional step for converting stearic acid into oleic acid is required. This step would be quite difficult when using non-enzymatic reactions, because the stearic acid must be dehydrogenated in a precise place and the reaction product must have a precise configuration around the double bond that is formed. Most likely it would have to be done by using a biological enzyme or using a culture of some bacteria or fungi.

This additional step would reduce a lot the energy efficiency of the process in comparison with what is claimed in the paper.

In the case when a culture of fungi or other fungus-like organisms would be used, like it is used now to produce oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids, then it is not clear whether converting artificially-synthesized stearic acid would be more efficient than producing an edible oil starting from a much simpler substance, like glycine or other such simple molecules, or from glucose produced by agriculture.

For now, the prices of oils produced by cultures of microorganisms are several times higher than the price of the most expensive vegetable oil produced by agriculture (olive oil).

I've built VLIW hardware, virtualisation is not an issue, cache usage is not different than other CPUs - in fact modern superscalar, out-of-order CPUs effectively do what the compiler for VLIWs do dynamically on the fly.

The big issue about VLIW hardware is that it tends to address a particular performance point - usually lets you squeeze out the last bit of performance without having to go to the complexity of dynamic instruction scheduling (and doubling the CPU size) - the problem comes when you want to do your next chip and the trade off ends up being different, you can't keep the same instruction set and so making an ARCHITECTURE is hard

Going along with the… let’s say poorly supported by the facts notions that illegal immigrants are meaningful in terms of rising violent crime rates (which—to avoid accidentally contributing to the problem, no, they’re not rising) or fentanyl smuggling, and backing that not just with rhetoric but with policy in some cases is, I think, one thing the democratic campaigns believe they’re doing to reach out toward the center and center right. It’s definitely not aimed at democrats even a hair left of… idk, Reagan I guess, given the whole amnesty thing. So they are trying some stuff.
Interesting inverted/remapped take.

The form is what is under copyright, and the form of the paper is normative, while I would argue the form of the art, if normative, makes it illustration and not art.

If I change the hypothesis and data of a paper I change the entire meaning and consequence of the paper, although the style remains constant. If I change the palette and subject of a painting, the style remains the same and it would not be considered anything more than trivially novel.

If style is art, then there is no art in scientific papers.
Of course, now they hide it under a veneer of concern and protecting hypothetical victims.
Or, you just use the DOM API to manipulate the structure. You don't implement a parser because one is already provided by the tooling - you use it to go from known-valid text to a data structure (here, DOM), and do your operations there.

You shouldn't do "escaping" and string concatenation. That's just parsing and unparsing while cutting corners, which is how you get injection bugs.

> The only situation where a parser makes sense over simple escaping routines is if you actually intended to accept a subset of the language that you're injecting into rather than plain text

And that's exactly what you're doing. With escaping, you're taking a serialized form of some data, and splice into it some other data, massaged in a way you hope will make it always parse to string when something parses this later. It's going to eventually bite you; not necessarily with XSS - web template breakage is another common occurrence.

Working in string space is tricky, dangerous, and dumb - parsing, working on the parsed representation, and unparsing at the end, is how you do it correctly and safely.

(Another way to put it: plaintext is a wire format; you don't work in it if the data is structured.)

Note that the API may look like you're doing text - see JSX - but it internally goes through a parsing stage, and makes it impossible for you to do stupid things that break or transform the program, like working in string space lets you.
Nuclear has been the cheapest on the most important metrics - human lives per installed GW and human lives per produced TW-h.

Debian STABLE does not mean Debian WORKING, it just means that major versions of most of the software will not change for this release.

This was a great book. It seems less well-known in the HN-sphere than Seeing Like A State, but it's at least as good IMHO. It really changed my mental model of the dynamics of early states and "barbarians", and how agriculture interplayed with the story of how it all unfolded.

My one criticism was that when answering the question "why did people start eating grains", he never seemed to consider that it could simply be that people enjoy eating them.

Aaah yes, the evil distro maintainers that keep things working instead of breaking everything. They're the real culprits here… really?

Decades later? That's at least 20 years. If that were true they'd be written in python2 and I can promise you they wouldn't work with python 3.12. So I'll consider this statement a lie.

You don't need $70k cash on hand, you need "Evidence of an externally verified document of the capital (such as by guaranteed bank loan or by a guaranteed credit line or letter of credit from a recognized financial institution) must be provided with the application."

But even if you needed $70,000 cash on hand, that doesn't seem like that much money. You're going to need some working capital, and $70,000 feels like it should be a good enough start. IMHO, I'd go through a reseller program for a while to make sure I had the volume / revenue to justify the ICANN fees to be a registrar directly; of course, if you do make the jump, you'll likely need to stay in the reselling program for existing domains or convince/help customers move their domains over, which is extra hassle; I've seen some companies where they are an ICANN registrar, but they use resellers for some TLDs and legacy customers.

When it was new, I set up two different employers as OpenSRS resellers; and I've been on and off considering setting it up for myself as a low effort side business, but I can't decide if it would be too much work for not enough reward. I hated dealing with money on the internet at the turn of the century, and I don't think it's gotten that much better.

You can cast no vote, you can write a treatise on the ballot about voter choice, you can tear the ballot in half dramatically in front of all nearby. You can choose to do whatever you want. Whatever action you choose to take and however you view it, there will be one of two outcomes the day after.
