Disclaimer: left wing European voter.

It's clear from the message what the grandparent post opinion is, there's no need for understanding the right, the conclusion is there already and it's that the right wing voters are:

> uneducated and poor

This narrative about the right voters has been there since at least the nineties, only for the left to wonder why dialogue dried up.

Then the left drops the ball on big ticket issues, and people move more and more to the right, while fringe right positions become normalized.

Oh well, if it weren't for those pesky uneducated voters!
lol I thought these were AI generated at some point too just because of how silly they are
This article is one of the most infuriating pieces of shallow thinking I've read for a while now. It seems to acknowledge that there might be a real demographic problem in a couple decades, but since there's no clear evidence, the conclusion is just to not worry so much about it?

> low-fertility countries now produce around nine-tenths of the world’s GDP

And that can also be interpreted in how they're redirecting effort that would be spent in raising the next generating, to pump up their current economy. It's basically putting the entire society in structural debt.

Like the modern environmental crisis, the demographic one is also avoidable, but only if we act in a well thought out manner. At least here there should be more incentive for each state to start first, since you'll reap a lot more of your own work later on.

calling out you complaining about child porn scanning when nobody is talking about that and it isn't what the link posted is about. Why bring up and express your dislike of a thing that 1. was never implemented and 2. was conceived to prevent the abuse of children.

People who post things like you did, unprovoked, when nobody is talking about it and it has nothing to do with the post itself is fucking weird and I'm tired of seeing it happening and nobody calling out how fucking weird it is. It happens a lot on posts about icloud or apple photos or ai image generation. Why are you posting about child porn scanning and expressing a negative view of it for no reason. Why is that what you're trying to talk about. Why is it on your mind at all. Why do you feel it's ok to post about shit like that as if you're not being a fucking creep by doing so. Why do you feel emboldened enough to think you can say or imply shit and not catch any shit for it.
That's all totally possible, sure. But those are down stream impacts that are influenced heavily by other factors and by how people react to a change in taxes, for this example. Its way more complicated than that.

> I understand the human urge to hold on to everything you have. But when did we stop caring about contributing to a functioning society?

I'd ask when we decided that a functioning society was only possible with a powerful government collecting and redistributing wealth. Neither are required in my opinion, though we likely couldn't be as centralized as we are today without large governments and taxes.
Require. I answered that in this same subtopic.
Aren't there many edicts in the Bible which are congruent with the law?
New York City is the greatest concentration of wealth on the planet. The continuation of theatre there should come as no surprise.

I am speaking of the cultural shift in entertainment, from a variety of local live options on most days of the week to just television in most places across the country.

I should also emphasize that the persistence of community theatres that mostly recycle the classics (endless Shakespeare, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and The Crucible) is not a substitute for actual thriving local entertainment, but a shadow and a memory of what once was.
Agreed. Republicans used to be the party of war. Trump substantially changed that as a perception within his voting base. Talk to active American military service men and women or veterans. Their attitude towards blindly trusting the government in new wars has substantially shifted. I don't think Trump actually caused the shift. I think he tapped into this growing sentiment and ramped it up to the point of significantly influencing the Republican voting base.

As for the left and Democrats, the shift is equally noticeable in public perception. But instead of the sentiment being "oorah let's go to war for American glory" it's instead being heavily influenced by emotional appeals. This was most evident in Democrats support of the Russia / Ukraine war on social media. Once the leaders of the Democrat party, including President Biden, saw the overwhelming public support, they implemented policies that ultimately led to the expansion of the war. Refer to Anthony Bilken's visit to Kyiv during early peace talks. And again, I'm not making a claim as to who's right or wrong. Just trying to provide some context on how public perception is being leveraged and manipulated on both sides.
I must have missed the part where, at birth, I signed the social contract saying that I approve of the governance and monetary policy. That, or I'm not free.
You're ignoring that this is a fixed-price contract. It will never be over-budget from NASA's perspective.

Also, for a project like HLS, you don't fail until you stop trying (or get someone killed, but SpaceX has been pretty good at not killing astronauts).

Yes. And if you structure your code to explicitly do this, it is a lot easier to reason about.

Kamal is simply NIH K8s made by an unreliable company with poor leadership. No thanks, not for my prod infra!
You could probably use much smaller model for such rewriting
The reason is that Trump was giving Russia everything they wanted without the need for a war. Why invade Ukraine for resources when you can just call up Trump and say "make Ukraine give me resources"?

And Israel invades Gaza every year, under every president. It's just that in 2023, someone decided they had the propaganda power to make it seem like a new thing and that it was Biden's fault.
Nope! Way too big to be shared, and no organization at all. It's embarrassing to show people my messy room!

> That hardware can no longer compete with platforms that don't throw away their entire library on every release is probably one of the first impacts of games finally maturing. My "next console" was a Steam Deck for partially this very reason, the fact that it came preloaded with years of previous acquisitions.

This was something that confused me about the concept of consoles in the 90s. The nonexistent value proposition of a console hasn't changed since then.

I assume they serve two purposes:

(1) They're marketed as toys you might buy for someone as a gift.

(2) You might own a console if you don't want to own a computer.

Purpose (2) seems to have withered and died.

> There's been a number of articles about how $NEW_GAME never even reached a peak player count of something like Skyrim. I think that's currently being written as a sort of a "ha ha, that's sorta funny", but it represents a real problem. It is not unsolvable; Hollywood has always faced this issue and it has historically managed to make money anyhow.

Relatable. Some of my best friends were made in the heat of struggle, not in a fancy establishment. When you're happy and comfortable, people are a dime a dozen. When you're down on situation, any human contact is a luxury, and the experience embeds itself in your mind.

> as well as a coherent platform of deregulation, immigration reform, and putting American workers and businesses first.

Deregulation and immigration reform is inherently at-odds with putting American workers first. Apple didn't send their manufacturing jobs to China because of too many regulations and immigrants in America - they did it for the opposite reason. It happened with automotive manufacturing, it happened with silicon fabrication, and it's going to continue for every consumer good America cannot export competitively.
The only conclusion I could make from the DNC dropping Biden so late was that he was so clearly slipping that they couldn't hide it, or ignore it, anymore. I have to assume that if they kept him on the ticket we would have seen a few months of campaigning that could look an awful lot like elder abuse.
Great answer. I think he will indeed make defense more transactional(to other countries) and social security benefits further privatised and moved out of the public books. Not sure it is great, but you kind of gave the answer.
The problem is the US only really has traditions. We were hardly a democracy at our founding in the modern sense of the word and as such the guard rails are fairly weak. The electoral college wasn't established in some brilliant attempt to moderate the votes of states, it was so rich land owners could control who ran the country.
> we look at all the times he promised to release the health care plan, the January 6 incident, the calls to states to "find" votes, the constant complaining about rigged elections, the constant complaining about basically EVERYTHING he doesn't like, and more

Have you considered the possibility his supporters know something you don't? A lot of what you mentioned is either debunked or is fraught with misinformation
I mean... sure? Yes, if you add extra structure on top of your code that is there to model the deployments, then you get a bit closer to modeling your deployments. Isn't that the exact argument for why you might want multiple repositories, as well?

Why do people vote for him? America is a closet racist country and the education system obviously doesn't produce critical thinkers. The south is poor and Trump will make them money again some how - they believe that. Trump will make grocery prices' go down and create many magnificent jobs. Trump will make interest rates go down and loans cheaper. He will deport all the Mexicans so the black or white people can fill the jobs.Trump is a populist con man who conned his base. No public company or start up will ever hire a CEO like him. I call this political entropy. This is the decline in America in my view. It's a sad day and I will just stick my head in the sand and hope we make it through.

For "mislabeling campaign funds", something the DNC and Clinton was fined for doing but never criminally prosecuted. It's simply because people don't like Trump the actual thing he did doesn't matter.
> This is all very basic, can someone explain what I'm missing here? Why people are pushing for this thing that doesn't make sense whatsoever?

You're assuming that the election fraud narrative is pushed by people who care about whether it's true or not. The goal isn't truth-seeking, it's disenfranchisement; any data point is either used in service of the narrative, or it's discarded as irrelevant.
Shows that it's not safe to assume that a random Besserwisser on HN has read the article. In my defence I did skim through it though.
I agree ! We use the commit status instead of the PR status. A non-FF merge commit, being a commit, would have its own status separate from the status of its parents.
I use uBlock Origin cosmetic filters for blocking trolls on here. Something like:

news.ycombinator.com##:matches-path(/^/item\?id=/) tr a.hnuser:has-text(/^dpifke$/):upward(tr)
HN just flags all comments that seem to support Trump in any way, even with good arguments. So no idea why comments are even open anymore when some points of view are obviously not allowed here yet 52% of the country seem to supported them to a degree. Obviously HN users just want their own groupthink eco chamber without wanting to hear other opinions. So in that regard I'm enjoying watching lib woketards having a mental breakdown for the second time since 2016. Stay ignorant, stay foolish.

Hell, I'm not even from America and I saw it comming from a mile away. Calling half of their country "nazis" and "fascist" was the worst campaign move I have ever seen in my life.
Or they’re tired of being told their trash because they’re young white/latino males. Trump clearly spoke to them.
It is wrong to just use malloc() to make the arena? This way, sanitizers will still help you a bit. It will not help with everything you do within the arena, but it may detect it if you access outside the arena, like the problem the author has.

Other than that, I think using guard pages is the technique libefence (electric fence) uses.
I liked this for two seconds; then all the pictures loaded in the browser window, and its usefulness to me plummeted. Similar to other commenters, I actually prefer text-only in this context; in particular, the first picture displayed just now was animated, and incredibly distracting.

I would probably use this or at least play with it extensively if not for this "feature." I find that, unlike "real" newspapers, leading images in blog posts and even much larger sites are frequently a net negative (a trend greatly worsened with the advent of AI image generators).
You mean after the Boeing debacle?
Interesting take. I wonder if all the new ways of being heard (social media, mainly) have made the "cost" of being heard via music relatively higher.
There's a moral calculus where you have to determine if the money is really going there and if any of the money is instead supporting a despotic regime. I don't disagree. I do donate to missions where I know the individuals personally.
Let's make one of your breakfast foods eggs. Sometimes you won't notice from the walk if they just had normal eggs. However, when they are also rotten and were over indulged in, you can tell from the person's walk that they ate them for breakfast and due to the noxious sulfur smell emanating from the diarrhoea in the person's business casual slacks, you can tell with a high degree of confidence it wasn't the rotten milk cornflakes, but one of a very few number of sulfur-rich foods, probably eggs.

Bad human resume text and overuse of unmodified LLM output are both detectable, but they are detectable because they are bad in quite different ways.

Regarding the original resume reader's notion that they can detect LLM text with a high degree of accuracy, it is not their LLM output detection specificity I would take issue with (similarly, despite stating validation is critical, I would bet you, too, are pretty confident when you see an entire page of blogspam or marketih copy that you regard as LLM generated despite it rarely being marked as such). Rather, it is their sensitivity, as I am sure occasional use and especially slightly modified output from LLMs gets by them now and again without them knowing.
Some interesting facts about that. The guy running the state at that time was Georgian. It was not Ukranians per se that were targeted by government policy of collectivization, it was the land owning peasant class, kulaks. Whether the famine itself was intentional is very debatable ie it wasnt an official policy to kill people
It's not my party, I just think Trump is uniquely unqualified for office.

That's what central bank independence is for. Raising interest rates is effectively the same thing.

> Didn't it need a civil war to actually become a democracy? My understanding was that it was not exactly founded as a democracy. But maybe I'm being pedantic there.

Definitely think you are being pedantic. By that standard, we're not a "real" democracy right now with felons not being able to vote in many states. That's a valid position to have, but imo not really useful for this discussion.

I'll give it a shot, just maybe to help one person understand.

They voted for him because 15+ years of government + federal reserve policy has led to massive bubbles in all US capital assets while impoverishing a wide swath of the population. The people who voted for Trump are those who've "lost" in the giant crypto+stock Ponzi scheme.

The reason people on the winning side of this have such a hard time seeing it is that, en masse, they've turned away from any semblance of traditional valuation measures for capital assets. I assume they've done this because it's too emotionally uncomfortable to consider the notion that their entire wealth isn't because they're geniuses but because of deranged government policy.

> A 100x reduction in costs means that it becomes a fundable endeavour that countries like the US could still justify.

Don't forget the dynamics. Costs of all such projects drop further when early steps become affordable. Like, with 100x reduction on the sticker price, US might feel Mars colony is still too expensive a project, but 100x reduction on trying out some adjacent space tech may just be in range of NASA budget or some private interest. Steps get made, iterated on, making next steps cheaper and more likely to happen. Derisking compounds.

I do agree it'd still be a decades long project at least (with a settlement established early on; it's the tail end that will drag on).

>> or nestled in a crater on the Moon.

>..why?

Having some gravity and hard surface to build on simplifies engineering challenges, particularly on large scales, as in free space, tension becomes a big issue. And, perhaps more importantly, the Moon would shield the telescope from all the electromagnetic noise produced on Earth, and also by the Sun.
I thought the GPs post was an interesting claim so I dug into it and I think you may be wrong in this case, let me know if I have made any mistakes or misunderstood some of the data.

If you go to https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNU02073413#0 and click Edit Graph, then Add Line (at the top) then add LNU02073395 (Foreign Born dataset) and then export to CSV it's relatively clear that in 2007-01-01 (start of dataset) at 18.3% of jobs were held by foreign born individuals, and by 2024-10-01 (end of dataset) it was 23.7%. When reviewing the slope of the data, it's not tied to the month of choice, there is a relatively clear linear trend over time. Jobs as a % are being taken from native born Americans.

If we look into census data at https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2024/demo/acsbr... we see that as of 2022, 13.9% of the US population was foreign born. If 13.9% of the population hold 22.5% (2022-12-01 data from the fed) of the jobs, I can see why some people may have a concern there. Furthermore, if we look at sources of immigration in the census data, we see that roughly 50% come from Latin America, which has the highest percentage (79.7%) of individuals in working age (18-64) of which 82.8% do not have a bachelors degree of higher. Also, in support of the previous paragraph, the census data shows us that as of 2022, 66.9% of foreign born individuals held a job vs 62.9% native born.

I see a very persuasive argument for "they took our jobs" here.

In practice, my guess is that it's much more complex than that, but I do see how the raw numbers support the argument.
you're right I don't...but people that listen to that stuff were probably never going to vote for anyone other than Trump (anymore than listeners to MSNBC were going to stray from Harris). My primary sources are relatively centrist sources like WSJ and Economist as well as a variety of independent podcasts and the NYTimes. With a few exceptions on the podcast front all of these outlets were unabashedly anti-trump.
The subject matter is too advanced for all but a very tiny fraction of high school students (who should be tracked into customized education anyway). Adding pictures doesn't help.

Also they describe only one part of quantum theory. There is a ton of quantum chemistry and other things that are quantum, but don't deal with stuff like quantum teleportation, which frankly is fairly exotic for everybody but physics grad students and their advisors.

There are of course more than one reason why people voted for him, but there's literally tons of comments in this very thread explaining why with no nonsense and under no uncertain terms.

Ironically, a lot of those comments get flagged and are no longer visible.
