No one (great majority of people) in the EU wanted/wants this war. It was a dish put on the stove put by the hawks in Obama administration. But I think it is way too naive to think US can just pull out. They are far too financially invested. The question is, ia Ukraine too big to fail for US imperialism
That mattered quite a bit for a three reasons.

1. Kamala isn't a great candidate shown by her poor primary results in 2020.

2. She has all the baggage of running pretty far to the left in 2020. (Like saying she was for performing gender affirming surgery on trans illegal immigrants, agree or disagree with the stance this is a deeply unpopular position)

3. She was tied to the current administration which meant she couldn't distance herself from the inflation issue or attack Trump on age and fitness as much as another candidates not tied to the administration.
Sure, but they don't all use the same algorithm, the same hyperparameters, etc.

At some point, with sufficiently many hyperparameters being chosen, that starts becoming a creative decision. If 5 parameters are available and all are left at the default, then no, that's not creative. If there are ten thousand, and all are individually tweaked to yield what the user wants, is that creative?

Not to mention all of these companies write their own algorithms to do the training which can introduce other small differences.
EU charges Corning with antitrust violations over Gorilla Glass dominance
This doesn't look like a print newspaper. Print newspapers are much denser (in general) and have different headline sizes to emphasize the editor's choice of stories. This looks like a corporate blog home page or something. Some people will like this presentation; I'm pretty happy with HN as it is. But congratulations on shipping!
> affects a few people in some smaller states where it is still illegal

Smaller states like Texas, the second largest state by population?
Yeah, why would people ever support a party that seeks to vilify them?
I'm sure that situation be over with trump. And by over I mean that netanyahu will kill any and all remaining Palestinians and annex the strip and West Bank. Then the Zionists will set their eyes on Lebanon.
Wii, Wii U, GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS all had backwards compatibility.
When in doubt, always blame the Russians.
Wouldn't CI be easier with a monorepo ? Testing integration across multiple repositories (triggered by changes in any of them) seems more complex than just adding another test suite to a single repo.
Okay, but we were not talking about the median house, we are talking about Bethlehem, PA. I got my data by going to Zillow and seeing that there are many 10s of houses near the 2K sqft mark that cost around $200k. You can do the same yourself.

Pennsylvania did not experience the same uplift in housing prices in 2020-2022 that much of the rest of the nation did as people are net leaving the state.

PA is actually one of the places least affected by inflation not just in the US but in the world.
D&C approaches are applicable to lots of problems and, as you’ve noticed, tend to do well with “round” (in binary) numbers.
I've read in a few places that if Walz was the presidential pick and Harris the VP, he would have probably been able to beat Trump.
This line of defense falls apart a bit when you add further context. It's my understanding that during his first term he was surrounded by many smart and experienced people who tampered down on Trump's worst urges. But for this election he made it an explicit goal to get rid of those people and put in place people who are more likely to be sycophantic and loyal to him.

There's literally dozens of people who worked for Trump during his previous administration that have come out against him since then.

Personally, when I read about the alternate elector scheme and the attempt to prevent Pence from certifying the 2020 election, that was sufficient to convince me that Trump poses a real risk.
But she was very divisive on the R side. Democrats need someone who is popular enough with their core base to win primaries, but also likable enough to the other side to get some crossover votes.
IMHO "just another politician" would have been a hugely better outcome than Trump.
> It's just too easy to pretend it is not your fault if your society, the one that you are building with your neighbours, ended up giving you bad choices.

It’s the man’s fault because We Live in a Society? Maybe you ought to evoke the Butterfly Effect as well, it’s all connected. The butterfly in Africa is probably also complicit in this Trump win.

The Donor Class decided that this was the two options you had. I hope that I don’t have to explain that the Democrats and Republicans are not grassroots, democratic institutions.
This is the weirdest thing I have read in a while. I can name multiple more democratic countries, for example starting with the Nordic countries. Just having a multi party system goes far in this comparison.
I kept hearing people laugh at Polymarket. "It's not a real poll!" But it guessed correctly when almost none of the polls did. I think I'll continue to listen to betting markets.
Yeah, if we talk about it, counting votes for days/weeks, and no ID laws are ridiculous.
fork was necessary for the UX we wanted to go for. I do agree that an extension can also satisfy your needs (and it clearly is in your case)

Having a deeper integration with the editor allows for some really nice paradigms:
- Rollbacks feel more native, in the sense that I do not loose my undo or redo stack
- cmd+k is more in line with what you would expect with a floating widget for input instead of it being shown at the very top of your screen which is the case with any extension for now.

Going further, the changes which Microsoft are making to enable copilot editing features are only open to "copilot-chat" and no other extension (fair game for Microsoft IMHO)
So keeping these things in mind, we designed the architecture in a way that we can go towards any interface (editor/extension). We did put energy into making this work deeply with the VSCode ecosystem of APIs and also added our own.

If the editor does not work to our benefit, we will take a call on moving to a different interface and thats where an extension or cloud based solution might also make sense
I don't know what to tell you, except that you're simply wrong about how pricing works. I don't know where you got this idea that pricing history gives you all the information you need to invest, but it's not what a single professional investor, economist, or financial executive would tell you. Not one.

If you want to learn how pricing works, you might want to start here:

In fact, it's precisely to try to correct misconceptions such as yours that a lot of financial instruments put the disclaimer "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." Because it's so easy for people who don't know any better to imagine otherwise.
They released the emails that this conspiracy theory is based on.
they could have made them smaller the first time around, but I have to imagine they intentionally chose not to — we have to remember that they're also optimizing these things for children... so smaller isn't always better for things like swallowing (which is why they add a bitterant to the current cards)
There are multiple FOSS Chromium forks already, e.g. Brave.
Wrong. Biden welched on the deal Trump made. The same day he did that, Taliban began attacking.

The fustercluck withdraw from then on was all Biden's fuck up. All Biden had to do was honor the previous terms and use the previous plans, then the pull out would have gone off without much drama.
It would really be surprising if it wasn't backwards compatible. The Switch breaking backwards compatibility was exceptional, apart from that every Nintendo console since the Wii on the stationary side and the GameBoy Color on the handheld side had at least one generation of backwards compatibility.
Well, others probably wouldn't have fired the pandemic planning committee. Another one was created in 2022, but, as of 2024, Trump has said he'd get rid of that one too[1].

This is the most accurate replication I have ever seen of Windows 98. Wish there's one for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Can you trust the hardware?
Great point, The fact that there are a ton of people who wanted Sanders and who flipped to Trump should have given Dem leadership a clue. People want real change, whether its a Liberal or a Republican they don't care, they are done with mainstream politicians who promise to keep things the same.
Fair, but trying to enforce "you're never allowed to mock people, even when those people expect enjoy it and it's all in good fun" also makes you an asshole. Different behaviors are appropriate for different groups. I have groups I swear in, and ones I avoid it in. Same thing.
These lists (and the future library) were made to test normalization and break software that made bad assumptions. I initially generated the list because I knew that some of the assumptions the parser I was writing were not solid, and sure enough the tests broke it.

Someone pointed out the canonical source, which I'll have to look at more closely:

That comment seems so loaded, it's hard for me to make sense of it. Maybe that's the idea? Why attack me, Mozilla, and Firefox? Is it just stylistic?
"entire radical gender movement"

What is the term for 'take a couple isolated examples and call it a movement'? motte-and-bailey goes both ways.

There is no widespread 'trans women competing against biological women'.

Completely made up issue to stir outrage with the radical base.
Correct, but most of your cost in public clouds is in bandwidth, not server rental. To my knowledge, AWS also charges a hefty premium for their dedicated servers compared to competitors.
They're saying the above user may be a pedophile on the basis that they brought up CSAM on an article that has nothing to do with it.

The carts are already plenty small. Yes, they could be smaller, but any smaller (without being downloads only) and they'd be difficult to handle.

For cost, they could likely reduce the pincount for new cartridges, by changing the number of data pins, but that doesn't preclude using the same slot. Reducing cost of cartridges is more effective than reducing the cost of the console. Reducing pin count would probably save more money than shrinking the small amount of plastic case.

For energy efficiency, maybe they can eliminate 3.3v and only keep 1.8v for new carts, maybe redesign the insertion detection pins to detect old and new.
Well, with a less than 6th grade literacy rate for 54% of Americans, it isn’t exactly surprising that many people have a hard time understanding any nuance. I once heard a woman explaining to her captive audience’s amazement how the colors of a “yingyang” were because “ying” means white and “yang” means black. Aside from being wholely incorrect (reversed), the concepts and meaning behind the yin yang of the balance between “light and dark” is completely lost on her. The extent of her knowledge will always be whatever someone she believed told her.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the reason for the colors. “Ying” has an i, for wh”i”te, “Yang” has an “a” for bl”a”ck. It wasn’t even a light/dark thing, it was because she believes the translated name shares a common letter with the color, so that is the reason for those colors. That is the reason why I’m not surprised by the results.
In addition to supporting GameCube discs, the Wii had physical ports for plugging in GameCube controllers and memory cards. So, not much of a stretch.
They are still counting votes. Prediction markets have turnout at about 64%, which is more like 5 million less.

That's still historically high
In '78 I worked as a general dogsbody doing water quality analysis around the river forth estuary. Suspended solids, phosphate & nitrates from fertiliser factories and manufacturing alongside sewage outfalls were measured right upstream, to tidal limits and from the top north shore to the south. 100km or more. My constant tl;dr is that stuff moves, and whilst nothing like the tidal zone, groundwater is anything but static.

My case? Estuarine. The Biscayne aquifer is limestone. Highly porous. Water will travel as water does. If anything even close has contamination its getting in, if there's transport from surface water into the aquifer. The stuff here says urban canals and groundwater flows definitely feed in. Any firestation testing foam? Its in. PFAS contamination from airport fire testing is a thing.

While I mostly agree with your overall point about wealth distribution in the US vs Europe (based on my purely anecdotal understanding of Europe), that Breaking Bad analogy I keep hearing over the years is just wrong in terms of what happened in the show (even though that analogy being bad doesn’t defeat your larger point at all).

Walter (the protagonist) didn’t start manufacturing drugs as the last resort to pay medical bills. From the get-go, Walter got offered a job by his former co-founder friend Elliott (who ended up turning their startup into a successful corp, while Walter ended up quitting and becoming a teacher), with the explicit mention of their health insurance being sufficient to cover any medical expenses Walter might incur.

That happened literally in the first few episodes of the show. Walter refuses because of his stupid pride. Later on in the show, Elliott and his wife straight up offer Walter to cover all medical costs (current and future ones), and he still refused. He had many many fantastic outs that didn’t require him to continue manufacturing drugs (or even starting to do so in the first place).

I am mostly upset about this inaccuracy, because it undercuts one of the most important aspects (if not *the* most important aspect) of the show. It is a story about a man who lived a life full of regrets, feels impotent, and found an excuse to do all the bad things that make him feel good, self-important, and inflate his ego to crazy highs, all without feeling any remorse whatsoever.
I'm not so sure about memory actually being the bottleneck for these 8 core parts.
If memory bandwidth is the bottleneck this should show up in benchmarks with higher dram clocks. I can't find any good application benchmarks, but computerbase.de did it for gaming with 7800MHz vs 6000MHz and didn't find much of a difference [1]

The apple chips are APUs and need a lot of their memory bandwidth for the gpu. Are there any good resources on how much of this bandwidth is actually used in common cpu workloads? Can the CPU even max out half of the 512bit bus?

I did actually manage to use some via the lightning network to buy a regular service the other day - cell phone credit on Silent Link.

But yeah the usual way to buy goods and services is to convert to fiat first.
Ah, the self-proclaimed mass media critics! Everyone else is somehow badly influenced by the nasty mass media but they see right through it with their superior intellect. They don't need correspondents and professionals to actually go where something is happening, they know the truth intuitively, perhaps even a priori.
There are many taxonomies of people. Workers vs owners is one, and relates to the relationship between people and the means of production. Other taxonomies are young vs old, male vs female, and class structures with more than two classes. Notice that this thread has been about social class, more than economic class.
> elevated interest rates

Interest rates are either average, or below average, provided your lookback period is longer than the last 15 years of zirp.
Well for one thing, the aim is for those leaving the country to change their last registered residence to an area where their vote may have more impact. They never lived there and have no ties to that jurisdiction. You don't see anything wrong with voters that have nothing to do with your area casting votes there on everything from federal elections to local elections and ballot measures?

To me this feels like the kind of strategy that leads to us removing voting rights for expats. If the rule is meant to allow expats to still participating in voting in their hometown, and people abuse that to impact elections they have no real business voting in, eventually that right will just be removed.
The US was supposed to be destroyed by Trump 2016-2020. That didn't happen at all. The US is now stronger, more powerful, richer. The corporate tax cuts have worked out extraordinarily well, like Ireland on steroids.

Meanwhile the rest of the world has fallen behind the US. China is weaker and sliding (in part thanks to the expansive authoritarianism). Russia is a joke and has been for decades (now a regional power that struggles against Ukraine). Europe broadly is weaker and no longer competitive at almost anything.

US GDP per capita is essentially now double that of Britain or France.
What “everyday goods” are getting a 100% tariff? Is there a list somewhere?

Yeah, I'm very concerned it's really only the grade A sycophants and zealots who have stuck around - the experts have fled.
You do realize almost every time he goes off the cuff Fox and co pretend it doesn’t happen or they immediately go into damage control if it spreads, right?
If what Trump says is true, Elon Musk will try to remove $2T from federal expenditures which will have a massive ripple effect, from jobs to regulation.
I'm pretty sure you're not. Or at least, my grocery stores and the IRS/tax people take dollars, not SP500 or QQQ. If yours does I'd live to hear how that works (and where you are).

If you're referring to investing $1,000, having it be worth $1,500, and then selling off $300 to pay for groceries, which a Coinbase/whatever account would let you do with Bitcoin while it appreciates.
When has hypocrisy ever caused self reflection when people are playing the team sport that is politics?

It’s always “your hypocrisy is worse than my hypocrisy” because even if they admit the hypocrisy exists (not a given) they just chalk it up to “both sides.“ We’ve seen this song and dance for a decade straight.
This is one of those things that people say as though it's a good thing, but since precious metals are a negative carry asset (ie it costs money to store and insure gold or silver) this means that when you take compounding into effect they have been responsible for a devastating destruction in wealth over that time. Even more so if you consider the opportunity cost of holding metals when you could be holding a productive asset.
Well yeah, this is the confusion. My understanding:

- Lean into it - perform work to make it better for these users.

- Not lean into it - let it be as it is.

My opinion is - why are they a problem? I don't see a reason to block them. I'd lean into it fully, it's the product-market fit startup god screaming at you, but I guess people don't like working in this market - sure. Why block them though?
I can see and hear its rockets every time Russia decide to target cities in Eastern Ukraine.
Except both sides disagree on the "right thing."

It's same for both sides. Pro-life stance cost them a lot of votes and could easily cost them election.

Now that you cite the BBC, there are quite sizable communities of UK citizens living in Spain after retirement (ie permanently, without a short or medium-term intention of going back) and they consistently refer to themselves as "expats".

This would be an improvement over modern UI design. It's much more clear what is clickable. That is why old Windows versions were designed like that.

Howdy, neighbor! Am also an American expat living in Portugal. We've been living in Lisbon for about a year, and so far I really love it here. People are friendly, the vibe is relaxed, and life is peaceful with a glass of inexpensive wine never far away. Highly recommend anyone looking for an exit plan to consider sunny Portugal.

So far, there are no indications of the far-right gaining any amount of power with which they could govern. In a broader sense there have been a number of rightwing victories across Europe, but thus far Portugal (and Spain next door) don't look poised to join that trend.
Maybe last decade. This time, Trump's direct answer here was that he doesn't want to break up Google, because they are powerful, and he likes them powerful because he is going to force them to obey him and act in his interest.
Betting on Microsoft messing up on UX side, as always.
"...anyone else would have handled it differently", yes, and very likely we would not have gotten the COVID vaccine as quickly as we did and hence Biden would not have been able to set us out on the road to the pandemics end (and been able to come out of his bunker). Who knows how much longer the pandemic would have lasted and how many more might have died had Trump not cut out the red tape and fast-tracked the pharm industry on the road to a cure.
Better doesn’t mean good. A lot of people say that the choice was between bad and worse. Both the Economist’s and the NYT election advice wasn’t vote for Harris because she is great but because Trump is bad.

When you observe a system like that it’s reasonable to ask if you can improve the system. Imagine this was a football game and not politics. It would be reasonable to talk about how we can make the football league more interesting.
I'm not sure I understand this thought, it's possible producing larger quantities would actually increase the velocity of money which would increase money supply
I can give my broader feedback:
- Codegen tools today are still not great:
The lack of context and not using LSP really burns down the quality of the generated code.
- Autocomplete is great
Autocomplete is pretty nice, IMHO it helps finish your thoughts and code faster, its like intellisense but better.

If you are working on a greenfield project, AI codegen really shines today and there are many tools in the market for that.

With Aide, we wanted it to work for engineers who spend >= 6 months on the same project and there are deep dependencies between classes/files and the project overall.

For quick answers, I have a renewed habit of going to o1-preview or sonnet3.5 and then fact checking that with google (not been to stack overflow in a long while now)

Do give AI coding a chance, I think you will be excited to say the least for the coming future and develop habits on how to best use the tool.
Thank you. Appreciate it!
that's also partly because of Fox News, which was explicitly founded to ensure that the next Nixon would survive his Watergate.
That's because the US west coast is just waking up and sitting down at their computers right about now. The next few hours will undoubtedly be, um, challenging for the moderators.
