But are you arguing that when people believe things that are demonstrably false, like using bleach as a Covid remedy, not because there is any evidence behind them but only because they were uttered by someone they trust wholeheartedly, and this person does not have any hint of medical training, that nobody should say they are stupid, but only quietly believe it in their minds?

If not that, then what were you trying to say?
Isn't slavery supposed to be a state's rights issue?
if you replace "investment" with "speculation" I agree
It is used for those things I agree.

Those things alone do not hold up a $1.5T market cap. I would say they don’t hold up a $1.5B cap either.
They had the Apple II, sure, but the Mac was the first time they built a line of different computers for different users.
My take (not that anyone will even see it, in a sea of 5000 comments):

Democrats were the party of the little guy - the minority, the immigrant, the working class. That worked pretty well for them.

Democrats were in support of civil rights. That was the right thing to do, even though there was plenty of opposition. It cost them the south for at least a generation. They knew it would, and they did it anyway. Good for them.

Then they saw abortion as the next "civil rights" issue. They keep framing it that way: "a woman's right over her own body". The problem is, the people who oppose abortion rights don't hear anything in that but an attempt to hide the issue. A fetus is not the woman's body - it's a genetically distinct individual, and anybody who's taken junior high biology knows it. The issue isn't about the woman's right over her body, it's about the woman's right over the fetus. And all the "a woman's right over her body" talk, to opponents, looks like an attempt to sweep that under the rug and ignore it. "But they want to control our bodies!" No, most of them don't. They want you to not kill the fetuses. It has the same result, but a different motivation.

The Democrats have always been in favor of immigrants. They became the party in favor of illegal immigrants. But immigration hurts the working class, which the Democrats also claim to represent.

Lately the Democrats have become focused on gay rights and trans rights. Look, trans people shouldn't be beaten up and killed for being trans. No question. But here's the problem: There are a large number of working-class people who at best don't care about trans people, and at worst are actively hostile. There are a large number who oppose abortion on moral grounds, holding the life of the fetus as a higher priority than the woman's body. Now, if you're the Democratic Party, what do you do?

What the Democrats did is decide that such working-class people were moral lepers, and demand that they convert or face cultural extinction. This has been going on for a couple of decades. "Clinging to guns and religion". "Deplorables". "Garbage". The Democratic Party really despises such people, and it keeps coming out.

Well, it turns out that despising the people who are a big chunk of your voting base, and demanding that they convert, doesn't make them feel like you're their party. Talking down to them doesn't make them vote for you. It just makes them feel that you've abandoned them. And you have.

And it makes them angry. And here's Trump, harvesting their anger.

The Democratic Party has always had difficulty with holding the different elements of their coalition together. What they've done lately is assume they could ignore one of their largest ones, that it would always support them no matter how much they despised it and insulted it.

If your reaction is to deplore how horrible the majority of voters are, you're still not listening. If you want to win elections, you'd better start listening. There are people out there, people that you claim to represent their interests, and you're despising them instead of listening.
Thank you! I missed that in my sleepiness. Should be fixed now.
The Terrified Within
Well its the day after the US Election and I’m more than a little shocked. Sure I learned the primary lesson of 2016 which was to “never count Trump out”, but despite that I went into the election last night thinking that a lot of the early indicators favored Harris. Obviously in the sobering light of mid-morning in which Trump has rightfully declared victory and thus far nearly every declared swing state seemed to go his way, this was tom-foolery.

Trump in recent weeks has taken it upon himself to refer to his political opposition as “the enemy within”. Well as part of his opposition, statements like that have terrified me and a lot of the people I know. As a straight white male who can at least blend in with MAGA if I so choose to, on the surface I have way less to worry about than so many others. However I’m still terrified. I’m an atheist. I’m a progressive socialist. I represent and embody many of the things MAGA claims to overtly hate.

...
> This election just demonstrated that lying and using fear and hatred is working very well.

All I heard from anyone left leaning (on this site or otherwise) in the last year is that we have to stop Trump because he's going to literally destroy democracy. That, too, is using fear and hatred. Don't act like only one political faction does it. We are trapped in a vortex of shit where both sides are using fear and hatred, and we need to criticize everyone for it.
Given the complete discrepancy in voter turnout for dems in 2020 v 2024, I think the core claim of the J6ers, namely that there was fraud that affected the 2020 election, is becoming more and more likely. Especially since the only person to be killed on that day was a regular American (no cops were killed), I think, based on the voting, that most people see it as justified. I mean they just elected the guy who lost with huge margins in the popular vote
Unsure what planet you live on but I would love to visit. Here on earth in the US it has been absolute hell incarnate the past 4 years with non-stop tech layoffs since 2022, soaring prices on everything(housing, food, insurance etc), crime/lawlessness on orders I have never seen and huge wars that have spawned in the middle east and Russia/Europe. Lets list all of the things that have happened since Biden/Harris and then tell me why people are flocking to Trump:

- Forced vaccine mandates that have workers fired from their jobs if they do not comply even though it was obvious at the time that getting a covid vaccine does not prevent the spread of the virus(9/2021).

- Huge payouts to illegal immigrants on the order of $450k per family(11/2021)

- Homelessness at record high (12% increase from 2022 to 2023).

- Botched rollout from Afghanistan that humiliated the US and led to 13 US service members deaths and lasting shame for the country on the world stage. (8/2021)

- Housing affordability hits record low in 2023 - 98.2 (only 15% of homes for sale are affordable to the average household. (2023)

- Biden shocks the nation and viewers and says behind a blood red facade that republicans are a threat to democracy (9/2022)

- Colorado and a few other Dem states try to get Trump taken off the ballot in what is deemed a affront to any reasonable democracy and is swatted down 9-0 by a united supreme court (12/2023)

- Legal warfare with anyone who disagrees with the sitting administration see Eric Adams Dem NYC mayor who complains about immigrants "will destroy NYC"(9/2023) and then the FBI then launches a full scale investigation into his administration(9/2024). Also see a myriad of accusations against Trump by Alvin Bragg who when running for office is running on the platform of "getting Trump"(12/2021). This is stuff that is typically seen in a totalitarian regime and it has shocked Americans from both political spectrums.
All the pro EU social left democrats would be horrified if they looked at abortion policy of the noridcs.
> that's not a monorepo!

Sure it is! It's just not the ideal use case for a monorepo which is why people say they don't like monorepos.
Well there's much more to memory performance than bandwidth. Generally applications are relatively cache friendly, thus the X3D helps a fair bit, especially with more intensive games (ones that barely hit 60 fps, not the silly game benchmarks that hit 500 fps).

Generally CPUs have relatively small reorder windows, so a cache miss hurts bad, 80ns latency @ 5 GHz is 400 clock cycles, and something north of 1600 instructions that could have been executed. If one in 20 operations is a cache miss that's a serious impediment to getting any decent fraction of peak performance. The pain of those cache misses is part of why the X3D does so well, even a few less cache misses can increase performance a fair bit.

With 8c/16 threads having only 2 (DDR4) or 4 (DDR5) cache misses pending with a 128 bit wide system means that in any given 80-100ns window only 2 or 4 cores can continue resume after a cache miss. DDR-6000 vs DDR-7800 doesn't change that much, you still wait the 80-100ns, you just get the cache line in 8 (16 for ddr5) cycles @ 7800MT/sec instead of 8 (16 for DDR5) cycles @ 6000MT/sec. So the faster DDR5 means more bandwidth (good for GPUs), but not more cache transactions in flight (good for CPUs).

With better memory systems (like the Apple m3 max) you could have 32 cache misses per 80-100ns. I believe about half of those are reserved for the GPU, but even 16 would mean that all of the 9800X3Ds 16 threads could resolve a cache miss per 80-100ns instead of just 2 or 4.

That's part of why a M4 max does so well on multithreaded code. M4 max does better on geekbench 6 multithread than not only the 9800x3d (with 16 threads) but also a 9950x (with 16c/32 threads). Pretty impressive for a low TDP chip that fits in thin/light laptop with great battery life and competes well against Zen 5 chips with a 170 watt TDP that often use water cooling.
E2E does not protect metadata, at least not without significant overheads and system redesigns. And metadata is as important as data in messaging and storage.

Multiparty representative democracy with a prime minister is a far superior system than a presidential republic.
In our current panopitcon, lies work. Turns out if an entertaining man lies again and again into a mechanism (the Internet) that endlessly amplifies and repeats those lies for free (paid for by all of us with our attention), you can win.
In what world is the Democratic party moving to the right on economic issues?

1. Tax breaks for first time home buyers
2. Tax breaks for families with a new born
3. Pondering an unrealized capital gains tax

> pontificate on gender-affirming care
This is such a hackneyed point and it surprises me that this is something anyone considers. We should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Trans issues should not be difficult to 'pontificate' on. There is gender affirming health care for trans individuals, Democrats broadly support those individuals having access to that care. Democrats are also the party that is aggressive on healthcare and supporting government programs for reducing healthcare costs.

In all seriousness, do trans issues actually impact your day to day in any way? Trans people seem to live rent free in people's minds and I only ever hear about it in a political scenario. It seems like the most manufactured issue aside from immigration in recent memory.
That burrito is the world for many people, and it’s already collapsed.

When all is said and done I bet Gaza had very little effect on overall D turnout. If it did, those that either sat out or voted R specifically because of Gaza did so to spite their face. An R administration will turn their backs on a lot of geopolitical happenings and let those involved run wild, of which the Palestinians will have little to no voice at all.

Also people vastly underestimate the political calculus in full throated support of Palestinians and by association, Hamas. There is a whole other side of this conflict and that is with Jews who also care about the resolution, but also care about Israel and the fact they've had rockets constantly fired into their territory. They also vote overwhelmingly D. You alienate one group for another and you've made no ground in terms of voter share.
Status quo bias is powerful
indeed! HN has gone way to the authoritarian right. Not just socially but also a lot of HN readers favor economically authoritarian policies like tariffs!
In this case, I'd say it's the opposite: monorepo as an approach works amazingly well for small teams all the ways up to huge orgs (with the right tooling to support it).

The difference is that past a certain level of complexity, the org will most certainly need specialized tooling to support massive codebases to make CI/CD (build, test, deploy, etc.) times sane.

On the other hand, multi-repos may work for massive orgs, but is always going to add friction for small orgs.
As I said, this does not apply to monetary assets, which don't have returns or expected future returns, like gold or bitcoin. In addition, these assets do not change. There are no news. All we know is how the price has behaved in different market conditions, and investors try to create models based on that alone.

I didn't say that the future price could be predicted or that it is guaranteed. I just said that the historical price information should contain all the relevant information about the asset.

There is obviously fascinating history about why gold has become valuable and what fundamental properties caused it to become valuable, but it's not really relevant to investors. Same applies to Bitcoin.
All that is true, and to a great degree the reason why the concept of "swing states" (or rather the "non-swing states") even exists.

It does not explain however why almost all the swing states aligned with Trump this time.
There is probably a large non-vocal group of Democrats outside deep blue areas that doesn't agree, which is why they went that direction
The doctors had to be so certain that it was life threatening before acting that once they decided it was life-threatening, she was already going to die no matter what they did. And this is not an isolated incident.

The law has to allow for more uncertainty for the carve-out to be effective.
Why do you write "p*orn"? This is not a forum for children, so why not just write the word you mean? If you are too shy to write it plainly, why leave all of its letters in place? The awkward asterisk appears to suggest that you might be talking about "plorn", "peorn", "phorn", "psorn", or some other nonexistent word.
Ah, yes. Trump won because of his well-known ability for measured and rational speaking.
They literally said anyone who voted for Trump, which they obviously disagree with, is stupid or acts like it
This is such a goofy response. Are you aware that under-educated Americans need jobs, and in fact vote???
They misunderestimated him.
Beyond the appearance what always gets me is the scale. You see these beautiful swirls and then realize you could fit a planet in them. It’s mind boggling.
> It's safe to drink if you're eating a balanced diet, since food will provide all the minerals you need.

And that's a pretty ambitious assumption. A lot of people don't eat anything even close to a balanced diet, as evidenced by insane obesity rates or the return of malnutrition diseases like scurvy.

Yeah but the only discernible difference to most gamers from last gen to this gen is load times… the ps5 pro side by side to a ps5 screenshot of an enhanced game vs the unenhanced version is crazy.

Monorepo and multi repo both have their own need for teams to work on dev tooling when the project gets large.
The DNC really needs to address Trump voters.

They have to figure out their needs there and satisfy them.

Its crucial.
Notice also the lack of sudden 100% Trump vote drops and the lack of sudden shifts. Instead the election went off like literally every other election in our lifetime where most states are called on election night, and those that aren't are pariahs and we're all left wondering what the hell are they doing?

No 'pipe leaks'. No videos of counters covering up windows. No sudden last minute rule changes. It was... unremarkable and normal.

I think this is going to go down like the Kennedy - Nixon election where the allegations of fraud seemed made up at the time, but a few decades later, after we've calmed down about the candidates, we will uncover the truth. Whether it was enough to shift the 2020 election ... who knows, but the truth has the habit of coming out eventually.

I mean 20 million people sat at home? Really? That's an insane amount.
Except the Haitians really are eating dogs and cats. I have seen the video and photographic evidence. They see it as free food. You think cats and dogs wander Haiti in massive numbers? No, they eat them. They’re starving.
> Thats why we need current x86 ecosystem where youre free to match hardware with any other compatible parts you want.

Let's remember that this ecosystem is a mistake that no party would willing recreate again. Given the chance to improve the x86 with 64-bit capability, Intel chose to form a cabal and create a patent-locked monstrosity that no one else could approach.

IBM didn't want to create an open-platform, they just did want someone else to set the standard and knew that they were too slow to create something from scratch so they had to grab off-the-shelf parts. On their second attempt they tried to create their own OS (/2) and bus standard (MCA) with egregious terms. Sony memory sticks have been cut open to be found to be micro-SD cards with extraneous packaging.

Sun tried to open up SPARC... and then close it up again with UltraSPARC... and only reopening it as a 11th hour hail-Mary.

That is why both RISC-V and GNU/Linux are so special. They are really the only systems from the get-go designed and intended to be open.

We should really appreciate and support those because these things don't usually happen on purpose and are not easily replaced.
I would find it extremely confusing and unhelpful if tests in the parent commit which weren't rerun for a PR because nothing relevant was touched marked the PR as red. Why would you even want that? That's not something which is relevant to evaluating the PR and would make you get in the habit of ignoring failures.

If you split something into multiple repositories then surely you wouldn't mark PRs on one of them as red just because tests are failing in a different one?
Book Review: Gödel, Escher, Bach
In what way is that better than to vote for your own rights even if it means voting for the vice president of the administration that provided almost total support for a country that killed 60 000 people in the past year? Mostly with american weaponry too.

(And before you say that the other side would do it too, even Trump, that seems to show total support for Israel at least keeps talking about how the entire thing needs to stop asap. No such urgency from the Biden administration, at least that's not what their actions show as they keep providing even more material support by the day).b
Disregarding one pilot input seems better: one pilot can correctly fly the plane while the other does nothing vs two pilots getting confused and flying planes into the ground. Even better would be a system that somehow follows the "I have the stick" procedure, although I don't know if that is possible.

You are right though that either way force feedback make sense. You could even just do a buzzing if there's dual inputs, like when you take your hand off a lane-controlled vehicle.
> PS5 only has PS4 backward compatibility, and it isn't going to be emulated any time soon.

But that compatibility is not achieved with emulation, right?

The PS6 can hopefully keep compatibility with PS5 and PS4 in a similar way. Unless we are nearing some sort of ARM horizon for consoles, that is.

No, what cost them the election was the fact that Kamala ran a campaign of "I'm actually just a republican so you can vote for me". She dumped any sort of policy or position that'd scare away the mythical disaffected trump voter. She paraded around Liz Cheney FFS. WTF likes the Cheneys?
my hope is that somehow, someway, somewhere.... there is a politician who will think twice about further stripping reproductive rights because of this. Or maybe even someone who will help expand. It is a popular position with wide support.... and hopefully that does mean something.

you've got to stay hopeful. votes do count, but a 60% threshold means a minority have more sway in this instance.
Not necessarily. Only when people are afraid or anxious.
But there is also massive tech investment in solar and other renewables?

This argument makes no sense. There are a zillion different companies, research labs, VCs etc making investments into everything- better solar panels and better batteries and yeast that make biofuels and modular nuclear reactors and lower-energy CPUs and alternative ways to make fertilizer or concrete and on and on.

You're saying in essence, "Because a company with specific use-case X wants technology A, then technology B must be bad".
I don’t think the conviction’s effect on his support was lost on anyone who was paying attention. He was convicted for breaking the law by a jury of his peers. Should the case have been brought to trial? That’s debatable, but he clearly is a felon. Not the first felon to run a country, as it happens.

Btw I would argue the assassination attempt did far more for him than the felony conviction.
GDP should be medianized or the top 100 most income people removed from it or something. That top echelon money isn't going back into the economy.
And the compute power!
Trump is literally a convicted rapist. Mounted an insurrection. Pedophile. Serial cheater. Mocked disabled people and veterans. Literally stole money from a children's cancer charity. You can literally, no exaggeration, pull out tens of those indisputable facts, which in a normal world, would be immediately disqualifying. You wouldn't hire someone who has said any of the millions of things he has said. Do you remember grab them by the pussy? Would you be friends, or hire, or tolerate anyone speaking like that?

Pointing them out and how fundamentally unsuited that man is for any job, let alone the presidency of any country, is not "hatred". If you have a problem with people being shot at, take this up with your local representative to get better controls on who can acquire a weapon.
