Lindsay Graham did!

"Everybody who comes on this floor and says our border is broken. We should do something about it. You're absolutely right. And unfortunately, we didn't get there. President Trump opposed the Senate bill."
Waited for today to take some profit
2016 : Hilary Clinton - People felt that she was chosen because it was her turn
2020 : Kamala Harris - A candidate who never ever even did well in the primaries.

I hope DNC learn from this and let people choose a candidate next time.
> I have always thought that it would be interesting to see an "Ordinary people party" that focuses on the silent majority

There is no silent majority. Turnout was >60% in 2020, so by that measure there's a silent minority at best.
Sanders got 25% of the primary vote in 2020 despite being a lost cause for most of the voting.
It seems implausible that its price will increase forever. If your concern is that a bitcoin is an inconveniently large unit of value, like a kilogram of gold, you can subdivide it into individual satoshis even on the public blockchain, and at the current price of roughly US$100k per bitcoin, a satoshi is roughly a tenth of a penny, which seems adequately subdivisible to me. If Bitcoin improbably ended up at US$10M per bitcoin, it would still be a dime, which is probably still okay.
Is the "sidecar" open source too?
I have it charted against the Malaysian Ringgit. It was 347k BTC/MYR high this year, compared to 326k today.
The stock market is not an accurate reflection or proxy for the economy as a whole.

All time highs don’t matter if a significant and growing percentage of the population can’t afford basic necessities of life.

The HN bubble is disproportionately impacted positively when the markets are high.
The database is not set up by default.

Your better bet on MacOS is to use `mdfind -name ....`
TVs and memory cards keep getting cheaper, not more expensive.
I worry that these concepts are actually already fleshed out, but having not said anything about them already, he had free rein to implement whatever he wants since no one voted on a campaign promise.
Can you point me to some reading about its drawbacks?

I know it is used widely for larger transactions of private individuals like buying a car or a house albeit with a small rate of about 2%

Since ownership of houses and cars is carefully tracked it's pretty impossible to dodge.
> I don't think it's right to say he didn't offer anything specific

I mean; he offered 'specifics' - they simply didn't make any sense on cursory examination. How to fight inflation? Tariffs! How to make already expensive goods cheaper? Tarriffs!

Hell, re: deporting illegals, he didn't even bother to do that his first term, Obama did it at a dramatically higher rate.

It's all a "I'll fix everything by doing nothing" smokescreen.
I know i'm not your typically bitcoiner, I started investing in it at $4. but I pay all my part-time employees in it.
That hasn't always been the case though, has it?

Hopefully there is still time to give Edward Snowden a well deserved pardon, before he becomes a bargaining chip to be extradited in exchange for something (less sanctions, etc) in a US-Russia, or better, Trump-Putin deal.
You're completely missing the point and where the votes went.

Labour got 9,708,716 votes in 2024 vs 10,269,051 in 2019. Starmer and Labour did not convince voters adn lost votes to the Greens.

What happened is that people did not vote for the Conservatives and instead voted Lib Dems and, especially, Reform UK, which got a massive 14% (3rd place and more than the Lib Dems). The Reform UK vote is because the Conservatives did not deliver on Brexit and even more importantly did the opposite of what they said on immigration, which reached record level.

The number of seats to Labour is a result of the above (Conservatives dropped so Labour candidate was elected) not because people voted Labour more than before. The surge is Reform UK.

So the same issues that have been at play in the Brexit referendum are still the key issues.
Considering how quickly the Democrats ousted Biden when his mental fitness to lead was in doubt, I don't think it's fair to describe progressives as having a "religious leader".
Four years.
Becoming the refuge-party for fleeing Republican neoliberals (joining the existing Democratic ones) is really gonna cripple the party when the party that popularized (among the political set—voters never liked it) that damn world-view is abandoning it.
Next president will be a democrat, calling it now.

You are doing the exact type of sensationalising that OP was talking about
I think calling this too much government inaccurate. IMO it is government not doing enough what it should do, and putting its hands into private issues too much. So cutting government regulation won't work.
The real problem was Biden not dropping out early enough so that they could have a fair selection process.

But tbh I’m not sure how much it mattered. With the high inflation levels it was always an uphill battle for the incumbent.
And trump voters, not understanding inflation, think he will bring down prices.
I'm in the Bay - am I the only person that thinks the economy is going great?

My wages are up since Biden started. My rent, my biggest expense, has held the same. NW up a lot from stock market gains.

There seems to be a lot of inflation with food ,restaurants and domestic work, but isn't lower wage people getting higher wages a good thing?
Wait what? He writes "For example, the first ten letters of the Hungarian alphabet are¹", but the note is "I got this information from the Unicode Standard, Version 15.0, Chapter 7: “Europe I”, Section 7.1: “Latin”, subsection “Latin Extended-B: U+0180-U+024F”, sub-subsection “Croatian Digraphs Matching Serbian Cyrillic Letters.”

Actually it kinda makes sense to have two Latin letters form a digraph if they are used to represent a single Cyrillic letter, while it makes less sense for Hungarian, which (AFAIK) has always been written with Latin letters? I mean, of course you could do it, but then I want an extra Unicode code point for the German "sch" too!

If you look at the whole Hungarian alphabet (https://learnhungarianfromhome.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/0...), you get a total of 8 digraphs and 1 trigraph (plus 9 letters with diacritics), but "Lj" and "Nj" are not among them...
unemployment was at historic lows, you just got unlucky. idk what to tell you man
Name one, just one antiwar group that's pro Republican. They're all on the left, who was once again, excluded from participating.

The Democrats think that by going harder right, the Republicans would stop calling them Communist.

They don't realize the accusations are pulled out of thin air to begin with. The Democrats pushing harder right won't quiet the right wing bullshit machine.
I wouldn't go so far as "way easier". It's just difficult for a single reason that's easy to imagine a solution to rather than 100 different reasons which are not. I'm not in the field, but I'm under the impression that our ability to encode our wishes into DNA is closer to:

> make me a 1um tall pyramid out of nanoparticles which are all the same type

...than it is to:

> make me a NAND gate out of this solution of nanoparticles, some are doped in different ways than others.

Most miracles involving DNA are heavily inspired by nature, and there's not a lot of natural code available for the construction of logic gates. I'm not sure which of these is harder:

1. make biochemical systems which construct arbitrary solid state circuits

2. abandon solid state and do our computing in living tissue

What I like about the former is that there are a lot of other things that investment in that area might produce, things which aren't a hassle to keep alive, even if a general purpose circuit constructor happens to be out of reach.
My theory is that we will leave Nato because he won’t want war when Putin pushes into Europe. His base doesn’t care frankly. The direct cost is too high and they can’t see past grocery prices.

That will all depend on how worn down the Russian military actually is and how long it needs to rebuild. And at any rate the threat of Russian military action will be used to punish any European country that doesn’t accept Russian influence. It will be used on former Soviet republics.

The only thing that may stop Trump and saving Europe is his ego now that he has effective immunity from prosecution as Putin is no longer a threat to him.

We will see who the bigger narcissist actually is. Putin is probably smarter though.

We need some seriously smart republicans.

Countries with right wing Russian aligned puppets may prevent direct conflict by appeasement but nevertheless they will be under Putin’s control.

China will continue being China. Where semiconductors fall will be interesting as will access to battery tech.

Trump will print money to appease his base and we will see exactly how economic forces evolve beyond control.

Buying crypto now seems like a good idea.
Yup. An easy win. Maybe he’ll get a Robert F Kennedy Jr Federal holiday.
Exactly what Harris was saying, hence the direction of my vote! Also, 50 job apps and no call backs, this is the WORST economy ever. In 2018, I would submit 3 and get 3 offers at the end of it.
Global energy prices are high because of wars in Europe.

The rise of right wing forces globally and anti immigration forces, is a consequence of immigration from regions that are not only crushed by wars, but also by climate instability.

Since solutions are too complex and require global cooperation, its easier for governments to not do anything.

As this keeps up, and larger areas of the world become uninhabitable, more migration will occur, leading to more power to demagogues and dictators.
Don't move to Canada; move to a swing state.
Because it's not a useful link. You might as well link to a Google search for "bitcoin price".

A much better link would be something like https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/11/06/first-mover-amer..., "BTC Hit All-Time High as Trump Closed In on Victory":

> Bitcoin surpassed $75,000 during the early European morning as Donald Trump closed in on a return to the White House. The more pro-crypto candidate had claimed victories in swing states like North Carolina and Georgia, before Pennsylvania, viewed by many as the key to the election's outcome, moved in his favor as well. BTC was recently trading over $74,000, around 1.3% lower than its new all-time high of $75,363.66, according to Coindesk Indices data. The broader digital asset market, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 Index, is over 9% higher in the last 24 hours.
I implemented the original allocation elision in JavaScriptCore and then oversaw the development of the pass that superseded mine.

Huge speedup, but very hit or miss. Out of a large suite of benchmarks, 90% of the tests saw no change and 10% saw improvements of 3x or so. Note each of these tests was itself a large program; these weren’t some BS microbenchmarks.

Maybe someone from V8 can comment but my understanding is they had a similar experience.

So it’s possible that someone measured this being perf neutral, if they used a too small benchmark suite.
> silent Trump voters

If it's anonymous, we might be surprised. I know a number of HNers personally in my life, and they'd never admit to voting for Trump here or to anyone in their day jobs.
The GOP would rather the Ukraine war end (probably with Russia winning).
Do transformer architecture and attention mechanisms actually give any benefit to anything else than scalability?

I though the main insights were embeddings, positional encoding and shortcuts through layers to improve back propagation.
The idea that a king or monarch or president has the ability to alter any physical setting and circumstance is ridiculous. The us has been reacting more or less to the middle east turmoil ever since the cold war. And in syria in the end not even that.
Events can happen outside the influence and outside of control of the most powerful nation on the planet. This paranoid "a power must be behind" it - is limiting the perception- that there is nothing there, just running out resources, human overpopulation and war and chaos and players stirring the pot of indigestible soups in the hopes that useful float some may come up with the bodies.

It’s unfortunate that the company (teakorigin) raised so much capital ($5mil?) without publishing a peer reviewed paper, scientific report or data set available for download by the public.

It is an interesting research idea, but there are major methodological challenges that would be better be addressed by a scientific inquiry than an entrepreneurial startup-y approach. For example, time of year, sampling, seasonality, handling, selection, etc.

My guess is that this is a retailer-oriented venture in search of a host, but the margins on this stuff are razor thin and grocers are more interested in optimizing the reduction of shrink.

Why would Target or Whole Foods buy into an app that tells shoppers to throw away more produce that looks and tastes totally fine or buy it across the street?
Republicans stopped existing in 2016 when they found out they either have to bow down to Trump or become third-party behind democrats and trumpists. Last meaningful actions of republicans was suppressing Trump during his 2016 reign, but those people are out now. There are no republicans left in power.

Who's in charge now are not republicans. Now it's just far right believing in genius and ability of their cartoonish leader.
> Is there some analysis why the polls didn't correctly predict the result?

The people in a swing state choosing to spend time responding to polls are insufficiently representative. They're drowning in advertisements, calls, texts, unexpected people at their door and randos on the street. Why would they give time to a pollster?
My point is that for a given appliance, the UI shouldn't really change ever so can be physical
great metaphor, thanks!
I realized the stupidity argument during covid first, and it all came from the left. So much contempt, a reason why I no longer can identify with liberals. In fact, I am disgusted by what I remember from 2020/21.
Inflation caused by Trump (Covid) and greedy corps. Stocks at all time highs baby.

> One man, watching me while I cut 8-foot lengths of tubing for him, told me that I could simply hook my tape measure over the saw blade and subtract ⅛-inch to find the correct length. Piqued after I explained why his method wouldn’t work for a precise measurement, he responded by quizzing me on something I wasn’t likely to know: the purpose of the black diamonds on my tape measure.

Perhaps I'm picturing the situation wrong, but why wouldn't it work on the precision levels of a tape measure?
Congratulations! Lucky you! You're a millionaire! Probably they were referring to an exchange site; the two most popular ones are Binance and Coinbase.
I agree "It's the economy stupid".

Where the Democrats went wrong is they looked at the economic figures for stuff like corporate profit margins and the stock market and said "look how good the economy is!" when those profit margins are high because they've jacked prices and regular consumers are feeling the squeeze. Unfortunately there's little a President can do about that. Corporate consolidation was largely complete before they even took office and monopolistic behavior is to be expected. The pandemic supply chain disruptions gave companies cover to increase their margins and that's what they did.
I was about to retire early, with the risk to the ACA I’m not sure.
Ineffectiveness of EU and U.K. Antitrust (2023)
Underlying that problem were the Administration thinking they could fool us all into believing that Biden's faculties were unaffected. This was a two-edged sword because it also demonstrated that maybe it doesn't matter so much who is president, at least as domestic affairs go, because the administrative state runs so much on autopilot.

Yes
> So far, the policy differences between the different far-right parties in Europe hasn't really prevented them from cooperating

They literally have. France's RN officially stopped collaborating with the German AfD over the latter being too "extreme". Now they sit in different fractions of the EU parliament.
That's very reminiscent to arguments that western culture is just one of the possible cultures and is no better or worse than culture of pre-technological bushmen.
His cost numbers for reliable supply from either nuclear are solar are in the $150B per GW range. A reactor like that might serve 1.5M terrestrial customers. The thing is martians use electricity for everything while flatlanders use a variety of energy sources. Also martians use electricity to provide services that are provided by the ecosystem on Earth such as breathable atmosphere, climate control, prevailing oxidization states, etc. His chart says martians use 100x as much water, methane and other primary resources so that can support 150,000 martians which also take 1500 Starship flights at a cost of $150B. Solar has the advantage is that it can be deployed as scalable modules to support the first 1,500 martians as well as the next. However 20 or 30 years in the future those martians need a new power plant. If they were serious about establishing a durable presence on Mars they'd also be reproducing and growing in population.

Eric Drexler gave up on the Gerard K. O'Neill vision because he foresaw the problem of that kind of economy being dependent on the Earth for some high-leverage aspects of technology. A Mars colony has to expect that terrestrial sponsors may give up on the project someday so they have political reasons to develop self-sufficiency. (e.g. it's hard to see how a Mars colony would be profitable to the Earth as a whole) Some radical advanced in manufacturing that allows a small group of people to manufacture everything they need for their survival on a strange world seems necessary.

Sooner or later the martians will need to build their own solar panels, batteries, nuclear reactors, whatever. Today I think it is a profitable research area to look into manufacturing techniques that might let a colony of 15,000 martians be largely self-sufficient in that this research could pay off here on Earth.
I've heard this a lot, so I looked for the bill, because these bills usually have things that politicians don't tell you about.

> Next, the bill establishes an expedited process that authorizes asylum officers to adjudicate certain asylum claims. Among other provisions, these provisional noncustodial removal proceedings impose certain target timelines for determining asylum claims and limit review of denied claims. The bill also establishes a stricter threshold for individuals to remain in the United States pending adjudication of an asylum petition.

> The bill extends and establishes immigration pathways for Afghan citizens or nationals, including by (1) making certain individuals admitted or paroled to the United States eligible for conditional permanent resident status, and (2) expanding eligibility for special immigrant visas for certain individuals who were injured while supporting the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.

No wonder Republicans never voted for this. This goes against their MO. I can't blame them for not voting against their views and the views of their constituents on a specific part of the policy.

See for yourself here:

why not use something that's better to transact (less or no fees and faster) ?
And for Floridians also. I doubt that they will be happy with more natural disasters.
Yes - they are free to vote, and the electoral college then selects who they put their votes towards to represent the voters, which is in line with the majority voting sentiment.
Florida unfortunately does not have an actual ballot initiative process. People have been misusing the constitutional amendment process as a makeshift ballot initiative process for the past couple of decades.

Unfortunately, this has a lot of drawbacks. Amending the constitution requires a 60% supermajority, which I think is appropriate for constitutional questions, but is too high of a threshold for ordinary policy legislation. In this case, repealing the laws against abortion and marijuana have majority public support by a wide margin, so why should we have to pass new constitutional amendments with a 60% supermajority just to repeal bad statutes that were passed via the ordinary legislative process in the first place?

On top of that, because measures passed this way become constitutional provisions, rather than normal legislation, it makes it difficult for the courts to exercise judicial review and reconcile these measures with extant law. It's sort of the worst of both worlds.

Maybe we should try to get an actual ballot initiative process into a draft constitutional amendment for the next election cycle.
No, the corporatist warmongers in the RNC obviously do.
I mean that makes sense? If you buy into the narrative that illegal-immigration is bad, then anyone could feel it personally. Weigh that against abortion which affects a few people in some smaller states where it is still illegal. Granted it has way more traumatic effects but still it makes sense most people can just ignore it as an issue.

If you total the population of the states which have a ban also I would bet it is less than 50m people, so ~15% of the population live in a state where it is banned and those are heavy rust belt states so they might even be in favor of it being banned.
Does it work with Intel fortran-compiled code?
Nah, he’ll make the Fed a political appointment and goose the economy that way, already seemed pretty annoyed that he didn’t have direct control of it last time and seemed to partially blame that for his loss. His voters will ignore the resulting inflation, say it’s awesome, and you won’t be able to convince them otherwise maybe until the really bad crash on the other side.
What do you think will happen to grocery prices now?
He was very correct in calling out EU countries on Russian gas reliance (which is still somehow an issue!), and also on the EU being way too comfortable with letting the US pick up the slack when it came to our defense.

The EU SHOULD be spending the agreed upon 2%, all this weasley shit the EU gov'ts are pulling is a complete joke considering the massive Bear in the room that is Russia.
