In group power dynamics. Once a person identifies with a group, and makes the beliefs of that group part of their identity, then they will fight any threat to it. Since there are just two parties you are forced to choose one or the other.

The single greatest thing the American people can do from this moment on is to stop hating each other for political beliefs, put that aside, and just talk without expectation or trying to convince someone. Just talk. America has let political identity supersede all else.
Have they? They've been consistently trying to chase moderates for years. Harris had Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney backing her. I'd say their attempt to capture these people has largely failed.

I see what you're saying, but I put that on Hilary. How much dirt must she have had on everyone else such that that the party establishment treated her candidacy as Manifest Destiny and the best democrat unafraid to run against her was socialist grandpa from Vermont who wasn't even a democrat?
Maybe I am missing something but Trump doesn't support much of that?

> nationalism, authoritarianism

Sure, you could say he supports this.

> anti-socialism

Not a fair right position. This I'd what anybody who is right of the center left position thinks.

> economic libertarianism

Trump doesn't support this. He wants all sorts of tariffs and the like.

> racial and gender hierarchies

I haven't seen any proof he supports such a thing.

> anti-establishment sentiments.

This is not a far right position. This is a populist position.
Yes, this specific specific duration has to do with the choice of launch vehicle. (No shade for any particular program as all have different tradeoffs and I'm gratified to see the probe successfully on its way.)

The SLS option would have entailed a direct trajectory to Jupiter taking less than three years. ... The move to Falcon Heavy saved an estimated US$2 billion in launch costs alone. NASA was not sure an SLS would be available for the mission since the Artemis program would use SLS rockets extensively, and the SLS's use of solid rocket boosters (SRBs) generates more vibrations in the payload than a launcher that does not use SRBs.

My dad is a P.T. and he recounts how after the ACA passed in 2008, his fellow therapists saw tons of people from poor communities going to the doctor for the first time in years. His practice was backed up for a while because there were so many new patients who suddenly had insurance.

I think people fail to understand is that a large portion of the population has literally 0 investments, let alone diversified portolios that are technically up.

These people give absolutely 0 shits about the stock market being up and the economy being considered fine.

We on HN are sheltered and generally have decent jobs which do allow us to have investments and thus don't see the impact as much as those who don't see the bullish line of the stockmarket driving their portfolios up.
Ok, I'm not super sure what point you're trying to make. I think the claim you're trying to make is that the democratic party has something on offer regarding abortion. We're on the back end of a four year democratic presidency. There's logically two possibilities regarding abortion:

- there's something on offer now that Biden wasn't offering four years ago

- Harris' offer is the same as what Biden was offering four years ago

That's a mathematical fact.

In the first case, my question is "what is it?" Personally, I haven't seen anything in the messaging of Biden and Harris' respective campaigns to indicate there is a difference between them on this front, but I could've missed something, and I'm glad to be corrected.

In the second case, we have a means of seeing what this offer actually means in terms of actions and policies. And judging by the accomplishments of the Biden regime on this front, that's basically nothing. Effectively, nothing is on offer on the abortion front.
There is quite a bit of pessimism here.

Europe is the next target. The people who got Trump elected will be spending a lot of time and effort into reshaping European politics now.

I’m European and most likely the overall effect you’d have, unless you went to a high income country where your impact is minimised, is likely to be net negative by raising housing prices in some poorer country like Portugal. Don’t be too surprised when their own Trump gets elected.
My theory is that social media has given people this skewed perspective of reality where everyone else appears to be rich and living in luxury.

This makes their own lives, in which they are still better off than 99.9% of the history of humanity, feel worse.

True. But my point is that the quote "people didn't believe in data" is not true. Back in 2019, when GPT-2 was trained, the reason they didn't use the 3T of today was not because they "didn't believe in data" - they totally would have had it been technically feasible (as in: they had that much data + the necessary compute).

The same has always been true. There has never been a stance along the lines of "ah, let's not collect more data - it's not worth it!". It's always been other reasons, typically the lack of resources.
No organized right-wing group tipped the scales in this election. Aside from the Democrats' weak presidential candidate and last-minute substitution, arrogant and clearly biased big media organizations annoyed people enough to turn out and vote against what they were selling.

The number of republicans in a fifty mile radius of you, or even across the country, did not change between yesterday and today. What happened during your local government elections yesterday? State government?

There is nowhere to run to. When the Right felt like they were losing the soul of their country, they stayed and they voted. When Democrats feel the same, you want to run? I hear this everywhere and its literally the sensibility destroying America; not because the right is going to destroy America, far from it, but because any unchecked side will.

Yeah, if you're a high earner living the urban/suburban life you've probably done really well. The problem is that rural turnout was off the charts last night, which what handed Trump the popular vote - something that has not happened with a Republican candidate since 2004.
You’ll never beat the house.
I concede you're partially right, and I was later regretting my tone, until I re-read a few of the comments and answers. Still, I actually agree with the content of what you're saying, although maybe not the intention or the conclusions.

My tone is, after all, pushback, precisely because we didn't start from a middle ground to begin with (parent's comment). I am pushing in a direction. You might disagree with it, and that's fine.

> differentiating between what 99.9% of scientists are saying, and what political/industry goons are saying

Even if what scientists say can be inaccurate, as has happened throughout history, the point is rather that I question what politicians or the industry says, based on Science, because while the science might be correct, the message is easily corrupted.
Show HN: LLM Function Calling Library to Interact with File, Shell, Git and Code
Hey HN,

I built SWE-Kit, LLM toolkit (Function callable tools) which makes building agents specialised in coding like Devin very easy.

I noticed a typical pattern while building local agents: creating & perfecting LLM tools to interact with system or codebase was the repeated and time-consuming. We created a layer that simplifies building agents that can interact with code, file system, git, shell and allows you to quickly solve for a wide variety of coding agent use cases.

Aren’t there open coding agents already? Well, yes, but most folks would want to solve their specific use case like a large refactor and current coding agents aren’t customisable to your specific use case or aren’t meant to be molded to different workflows.

The idea is to provide a library of tools so you can build software engineering agents with a few lines of code in agentic framework of your choice.

We have solved following hard parts for everyone -
- Optimized Coding Tools: Includes Code Analysis, File Operations, and Shell tools for seamless interaction with codebases and operating systems.
- Browser Interaction Tool: Enables navigation and interaction with UI-based applications and codebases.
- Framework Agnostic: Compatible with frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and Autogen, this allows you to work with your preferred setup.
- Third-Party Integrations: Connects with applications like GitHub, Slack, Jira, and Gmail to build fully autonomous, end-to-end AI coding agents.
- Flexible Deployment: Run on Local, Docker, Fly.io, E2b, AWS Lambda (soon!)

Is this the 10x Coding Agent I was looking for?

No this is not a coding agent but allows you to build your custom coding agent in framework of your choice.

We have created some templates to get started quickly though:
- GitHub PR Agent: Autonomously reviews GitHub pull requests with full codebase context.
- SWE Agent: Writes new features, debugs code, refactors, and creates tests.
- Codebase Q&A Agent: Enables natural language interactions with the codebase.

To better showcase the SWE kit's capability, we tested it on [swebench.com](https://www.swebench.com/), the benchmark for testing coding agents. It scored 48.60%, whereas Devin scored only 13.86%.

If you end up using this, please do provide feedback and if you need help building coding agent feel free to reach out to us

this isn't why people buy Bitcoin. they buy it b/c they don't have confidence in the power of the US dollar or want to hedge their bets. It's the equivalent of gold, that is people turn to it when they think shit may hit the fan but it doesn't have the downsides of physically holding gold.
Turkey bought Russian weapons and wasn't kicked out. They were barred from buying more US weapons for a while.
> because not being any of notorious lair, repeatedly make comments you normally only would expect from fascist

Kamala's rhetoric, especially around the military and border security, seemed almost specifically designed to be "1% less fascist." Some of the lines wouldn't have been out of place in Starship Troopers.

If you triangulate yourself into 98% fascism, it's hardly surprising that people who don't like fascism aren't excited to go out and vote for you.
There's enough liquidity on CEXs. But if you're really concerned you can reach out to their OTC desks.
But it was Trump demanding lower interest rates while he was president and which in turn created the high inflation we have today.
And the people may not want democracy. Democracy is only "good" in the sense that it can allow multiple competing groups. Any given group would prefer, if it could magically get it, an authoritarian gov't that imposes its world view and doesn't cede power to the wrong people. But the Republicans and their base are favorable to that idea now, as opposed to the Democrats who want to preserve an illusion of unity. Not that the Democrats should abolish democracy once they gain power, but then you need something disruptive elsewhere in the system to compensate for these incompatible tensions (such as a revolution).

My wife is American. Judging by her progress learning Dutch well enough to be able to speak would take 6 months.

It will take her years because she does duolingo for 5 minutes every day and speaks a bit of Dutch with me.

But given by how her progress goes, I'd say it'd take 6 months if you go intensely about it.

Dutch is close to English in vocab.

And by the wealth tax you mean box 3? I don't know how other countries do it but as we currently have it, I find this way more chill than the US. You don't need to log your trades, you don't need to care about capital gains. You'll roughly pay 1% about your net income.

If you want to avoid that a bit: buy art in your house that's stable (if I recall correctly, I'm not a laywer) and your house is your primary residence. So any money that you put into that doesn't get taxed.

We'll change soon to a capital gains system probably anyway, a few years tops, so this point is probably moot.

Again, I'm not a laywer or financial advisor. I sometimes read up on these things, but I'm not razor sharp on it.
It is still current times in PC desktop land, and why I keep on Windows/Linux land.

Those were the times when you could actually rely on Google to give you the right results for such a query near the top, and more importantly, give you the same results it would give to the person you're telling to Google it.
I didn't vote for Kamala. Also I'm sorry you feel bad when people point out your callousness. Think about how people must feel when they die for want of healthcare.
Even people who don't like Trump voted for the man. That's how bad Democrats have become, that even Trump could win. Selecting Chauncey Gardener as their candidate, especially after a term spent under an man who was in no condition to be president (watch old footage of Biden for comparison) was the coup de grace.

Of course, in a general sense, the GOP is the Democratic party on a time delay.

There are deep problems that partisan politics cannot fix, but perhaps it is time to begin taking third parties seriously and break away from the two-headed uniparty monopoly. Ranked-choice voting is one way to help this happen, but of course, the uniparty won't hear it.
Oh my this is awful - could you post a source?
"In Europe you'd also need a boatload of cash or a top private insurance if you'd choose the best private chemo therapist and clinic in the country outside the public health system where Walter would be on long waiting lists if he were in Europe."

This is extremely incorrect take. Ask anyone in France, Germany or the UK. The quality of outcome is extremely small between public and private even for the most complicated procedure. Perhaps in private you will get a better experience in terms of customer service.

In fact some of the most notable experts usually work for both the public medical sector and run their own clinic.

This is as incorrect as saying in Germany you have to go to a private university to get access to the best professors.

There are also loads of datapoint supporting the "fantasy" take of the series. For example loads of american only start going for certain cancer screening at age 65 when it becomes free, this can visibly be seen in the data where there is a sudden jump in detection at this age. Again, this kind of behaviour would sound very bizarre for most Europeans.

Why is this still being said? Did you not watch the debate? What facts? He mixed up Nikki Haley and Nancy pelosi.

He’s old, it’s not unexpected. I think he got a huge pass with Biden being in office, which was in retrospect a bad decision.
There is a fundemental problem that cannot really be solved with housing:

People want a single family homes with a nice property in nice area. They want a short commute and all the convenience of modern life.

There is in fact a hard limit on how many single family homes you can have in a an area. You can build them somewhere else, but then you get long commutes or short commutes to low paying work.

HN, let me remind you, most people do not work in tech banging on a keyboard all day with mild collaboration. Most people still need to commute to their jobs at least once a week. The majority still need to go in everyday.
No, but people are feeling sketchy about keeping their wealth in USD
Why would he drive away his users?
If Tether is still there after all these years, BTC isn't going anywhere, and I used to be pretty skeptical of crypto currencies.
You have put the point on the entire issue. People use party/candidate affiliation as the barometer for all future interactions, and when they don't like something about the other party, they use that as judgement of the whole person.

That is a person's right, but it is also failing to recognize that they are two sides of the same coin. So long as people hate one another for who they are voting for there will never be societal cohesion.
We're definitely going to be seeing big changes. Trump and the conservatives are in charge. They are going to execute project 2025. They setup all the ground work during Trump's last term.

Ukraine will be lost. Russia will encroach on Europe. The Republicans will staff Judges everywhere and build a stronger conservative justice system.

The rich will dominate even further over the poor and the US will become an extension of the Kremlin.

Trump may also try to set the stage for more dictatorial control. The only good thing about this election is Trump is so old he probably won't try to create a dictatorship since he won't benefit from it.

But have no doubt the democrats will not be taking back control within the next generation or two.
Are we just ignoring the Bay of Pigs? The Iran-Contra Affair? Vietnam? Desert Shield? Desert Storm?

I hesitate to even mention Kissinger who was effectively an autonomous nation-state during the carpet-bombing of Cambodia.

This is non-withstanding the fact that WW2 was effectively a result of punitive measures and economic destruction following WW1 (a blueprint for the post-Charlie Wilson's Afghanistan if you will).

The causes of WW1 however - bad faith alliances during the right-wing rise of imperialism, militarism, and nationalism - look to be back in play in the North American Continent.
