The people you’re referring to, aka Republican voters, are mainly being led around by the nose. To be more specific, it’s my view that they view politics as a team sport and as entertainment and don’t think through their positions.

These people would be against maintaining their own lives if the Dems were for it.
This reads to me like cherry-picking. I don't know why we should just ignore the most recent trends in favor of older ones.
A general-purpose assistant should be able to perform general-purpose operations, meaning the same things people do on their computers, and without having to supply a special-purpose AI-compatible interface for every single function the AI might need to operate. The AI should be able to operate any interface a human can operate.

>I understand that historical references can definitely add depth to a conversation, but if they aren’t framed well or contextualized, they come off as pretentious. I don't think you did a good job contextualizing your references, so it comes off to me as pseudo-intellectual and apologetic for the Russians. Comparing an active warzone to historical trivia also seems inappropriate for reasons I don't quite understand. I might be misunderstanding what you're saying, can you clarify what you meant by Carthago delenda est?

Sure, I'd be happy to clarify! In the ancient Mediterranean, Rome and Carthage were the two dominant powers. The phrase Carthago delenda est, meaning "Carthage must be destroyed," was used by Roman statesman Cato the Elder to stress the need for Carthage’s complete elimination in the leadup to the Third (and final) Punic War, even though Carthage wasn’t an active threat at that point. Rome imposed strict limits on Carthage’s military actions, and despite Carthage adhering to these treaties, Rome still found a pretext to accuse them of aggression after a conflict with a neighboring kingdom. Ultimately, Rome used this as justification to invade, destroy the city, and remove Carthage as a competitor entirely.

In invoking this reference, I’m suggesting that geopolitical dynamics often follow a similar logic—where powerful nations might frame another power as a threat, even if that threat is not imminent, in order to justify aggressive actions. I’m not apologizing for Russian actions, but pointing out that the motivations behind international conflicts often follow the same patterns throughout history: framing one power as an existential threat to justify intervention or destruction, whether or not the threat is real.

When we start framing the people of entire nations as irredeemable enemies even in our own private thoughts, it becomes easier to rationalize extreme actions that we would otherwise question (such as flippantly fracturing the global FOSS community). My point isn’t to excuse Russia’s actions but to highlight how these narratives can be manipulated, often leading to outcomes that are far more destructive than if people kept things in perspective.

Hope that helps. :)
I am more likely to sign up for something I can cancel. Also, if I can trial it and it doesn't work, I can leave. If it sucks and I can't leave I am going to be horribly pissed.

A really good example is https://www.verizon.com/plans/free-trial/ I was testing between verizon and mint for my physical location. For whatever reason, VZ was underperforming, so when the trial expired, I left a happy temporary customer. I have since recommended it to others, knowing that they aren't going to get locked in.

Being able to cancel actually make more happy customers, not less. It is only the enshitified mba run companies that trap customers that exhibit the parasitic practice of trapping customers into long contracts, confusing bills and impossible to cancel w/o burning your payment account number.

I actually would sign up for the local gym that just went under in my neighborhood, but I knew I would never be able to cancel, so I skipped it.
This is a disingenuous argument. I too think they're engaging in law-making, but if that were their concern then they have the influence, time, and specialized knowledge to convince Congress to make it a law. You know, so everything's proper.

When the criminal says "hey, that's not fair, the legislature didn't make this thing illegal that should be illegal"... well, let's pass it as a law. Anyone not a criminal should be on board with that, including the complainants.

Make no mistake. This is fraud by any sane standard, fraud of the criminal sort. These companies should be fined tens of billions of dollars, if not more. Those who cannot afford such fines (Planet Fitness, etc), should be bankrupted, their assets sold at auction, and their executives and directors prohibited from ever holding such jobs again. Make the shareholders of these companies destitute.
CEO salaries for comparison:

Jim Farley (Ford CEO): $26.5 million

Makoto Uchida (Nissan CEO): $4.5 million

Gandhi Inspired a New Kind of Engineering
It’s certainly not a feature that is exclusive to OO languages. Haskell supports type classes which can do the same thing. Or ocaml’s module types. Rust traits. Etc. I don’t think anyone will accuse those languages of being object oriented.

Frankly C++’s abstract superclasses have, in my opinion, the worst syntax of them all to support the same feature.

I really don’t see this kind of polymorphism as a weakness of non-OO languages. If you wanna play “who wore it better”, Haskell and rust get my vote. Rust traits are strictly more powerful than Java interfaces since you can say things like impl MyTrait for T where T: Iterator<…> {}

Boeing's Strike Is Still On. Its Strained Balance Sheet Makes Matters Worse
I think it’s just how you’re framing it. It sounds like you’re saying that people using Jetbrains free IDEs are somehow just missing some objective truth you are aware of.

If someone prefers Pycharm CE, it’s quite condescending to say « they just don’t understand ». Different strokes for different folks?
You do not need what was posted above to build a business.
Note that you will still have to pay for the AI support, which is presumably a major factor in this strategy.

ie. How many devs will really use it in it's "free" state as titled? Fewer and fewer I suspect.

I'm sceptical about the prevalence of non-AI-centred-IDEs going forward - we live in a new era now - and I guess JetBrains have also come to that conclusion and this is a pivot to support the thesis.
That's ahistorical. The Federal court system was established by the Judiciary Act of 1789 [1], the same year the constitution came into force (which established the Supreme Court).

Whenever people bring up "states rights" with objectively false claims, one needs to consider the history of such a claim. It was most prominent in the Secession Crisis and the obvious follow up question is "states rights to do what?" because the answer is "to own people as property".

These are very surface level benefits, mostly in convenience. You need to weigh those with the downsides of the internet as well to know if its really worth it.

Is using Wikipedia rather than an encyclopedia worth the damages caused by online porn? Or the loss of privacy both through data farming and digital hacks? Is checking the weather worth any number of children or adults killing themselves in part due to content they see online or how they are treated online?

I'm obviously not saying we need to immediately burn the internet down, but if what you listed are the best benefits that may not be the worst argument to make.

>I have plenty of experience with what it is like to walk and cycle in busy streets, and I do not wish to force that upon my neighbors

I wouldn't want to force people into things in general, period. From what I can tell, most people are just fine with a car-centric lifestyle. Barely anyone is evangelizing to cyclists that they should give up their bicycles and drive cars instead. I wouldn't want to force you to drive a car. I can tell you about the many benefits but I'll do so without moralizing or finger-wagging and ultimately the choice is yours. The same can't be said of many bicycle activists, they seem to be just fine with using any and all means to shove their lifestyle down everyone's else's throat.

You didn't respond to my question as to whether you were forced to live next to seven lane traffic, so I'll assume it was a choice. Why would you choose to move there in the first place if you hate the sound of cars so much? That's the rough equivalent of a car enthusiast deciding to move to Amsterdam and then complaining about the cyclists on the road.

From what data does your infographic draw from?

The "whataboutism" is to determine whether your particle concerns are limited to cars, which indicates an ideologically driven anti-car crusade, or whether particles of everything and anything in general disturb you in your everyday life.
That is another very interesting part of complexity theory, yeah.

Like, "Constant time" means, "Runtime independent from input". And, well, solving any sudoku of size 9 or less is a constant times 6.6e21. Maybe a bit more in the exponent, but meh.

Like in graph theory, there are some algorithms for I think maxflow, which solve the thing in O(node_count^4). Theory can push this down to like O(node_count^3) or O(node_count^2.7) or less. That's amazing - you can lose almost 2 orders of magnitude.

Well, implementation of these algorithms and more detailed analysis point out _huge_ precomputations necessary to achieve the speedups. In practice, you'd only see speedups if you had graphs with multiple billions of nodes. In practice, if you deal with a boring subset like "realistically relevant", asymptotically worse algorithms may be the objectively better choice.

Like in this case. Here, some O(n^5) - O(n^9) depending on what the solver does can be better than O(1) for many practical purposes.

In such areas, intuition is little more than a lie.
> Which the metal came from China but the origin of the artwork seems unclear.

Even wildly famous western artwork often has unknown provenance, or only vaguely-known provenance. Furthermore art historians often see identifying details, stylizations, flaws, etc that laymen (like myself) don't. I'm happy to trust the reporting here as much as I'd trust anything from a field I don't know much about (what alternative is there, really?).
If you mean for .NET development, there’s still light years between vscode and this. Whereas .NET extensions for vscode are still in their infancy, Rider has been creating a comprehensive IDE for .NET to rival the full edition of Visual Stdio for years.

I'm not going to argue from history because I don't know it, but I know that humans love tools, they love tools so much that they'll often put more effort into acquiring them and talking about them than they do using them for their intended purpose.

I'd be quite surprised if objects this precious didn't also have a mini industry of people talking about them, selling them and telling you how to use them properly, even in the bronze age.

The bronze age spanned thousands of years. We went from computers to agile consultants in much less time.

Not that I mind anyone's preference for cash, but there are a ton of people in the credit card rewards 'game' who vastly prefer points (especially the top tier of 'transferable' points). In general, you can usually get more value out of points. My main point (no pun intended) is that the implication that paying rewards in something like points or miles is done mainly as a scam, is inaccurate. On the good credit cards, at least.
It would be cool to have a nex gen RPi (perhaps even the Zero edition) that does away with the micro SD slot and replaces it with a built in NMVe one.

But also made me think: what other "fads" have we seen?

Some that come to mind is a wave of "{x}, a {y} written in rust", or more recently the wave of things being thin wrappers/prompts on top of some llm/transformer. Was also a time it felt like it daily was a new js library on the front page. It would be cool with a history of hn of sorts, about what's been in vogue at times.

LongVU – New Video LLM from Meta
VideoLLM from Meta!
LongVU: Spatiotemporal Adaptive Compression for Long Video-Language Understanding

Paper: https://huggingface.co/papers/2410.17434
Code: https://github.com/Vision-CAIR/LongVU
Project (Demo): https://vision-cair.github.io/LongVU

We propose LongVU, a video LLM with a spatiotemporal adaptive compression mechanism designed for real-world hour-long video understanding. LongVU adaptively reduces the number of video tokens by leveraging (1) DINOv2 feature similarity across frames, (2) Cross-modal text-frame similarity, and (3) temporal frame similarity.

1. High quality on video-based QA: 67.6% on EgoSchema, 66.9% on MVBench, 65.4% on MLVU and 59.5% on VideoMME long
2. +5% accuracy boost on average across various video understanding benchmarks compared to LLaVA-OneVision and VideoChat2
3. Our edge model, LongVU-3B, also outperformed 4B counterparts such as VideoChat2(Phi-3) and Phi-3.5-vision-instruct by a large margin.

> It found that wages increased by 18%, employment numbers remained stable and menu prices increased by only 3 to 7%

> The study’s authors said that profit margins at fast food restaurants are relatively high compared to full service restaurants, companies have room to absorb higher wage costs.

This doesn't really look like companies absorbing higher wage costs. Labor is merely one expense in the cost of a good like fast food. You have managerial overhead, capital equipment, marketing, taxes, etc. Based on a quick googling, restaurants target a labor cost percentage of about 25-35% with fast food being skewed to the lower end. Then an 18% increase in the cost of labor passed directly to consumers would be a 4.5-6.3% increase in the total. This seems very much in line with the 3-7% observed.

[Edit] Looking at the actual paper, it's not a 3 to 7% price increase, it's 3.7% which they claim is 62% of the total cost increase. So they are using a cost of labor of 33%, while the price rise is equivalent to a cost of labor of 20% fully passed on. That's a much more defensible claim.
Nuclear maybe? (sorry for the bad joke) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Gandhi
From the (translated) article:

One of the characteristics of ATTO3 is the promotion of component integration. In the electric drive device "E-Axle", in addition to the motor, inverter, and reducer, a total of 8 components such as the on-board charger and DC-DC converter (DC voltage converter) are integrated. This can reduce component costs and reduce weight.

"Lead isotope analysis of the bronze alloy provided indisputable evidence of the Chinese origin of the materials used in the statue."

So we definitely know that the metal came from China. I suppose it's theoretically possible the metal could have been made in China, exported elsewhere to make into the statue, but that seems like a claim that would require a LOT of evidence to make plausible.
After reading about this in BIG, my understanding is that they are leaving a breadcrumb trail so this can be challenged by conservative circuit judges on process grounds. Because why bother addressing the underlying issue when you can just throw everything out on process and hold society back.
