Trump is incredibly boring. All he does is throw insults and is obsessed with personal loyalty. He has barely any meaningful ideas at all, and has very little interesting to say. It's almost all just politics of grievances and whipped up anger, at times based on abject malicious lies.

That really is the problem: one side runs a nihilistic campaign completely unencumbered by any truth, morality, or any sense of decency, and the side, well, doesn't. There are two sets of rules and two games being played here. That much has been obvious for almost a decade now. So how do you counter that? Well, no one really knows.
> Inflation is not prices; it is the rate of change in prices.

Inflation is actually the increase in the money supply. The term is used wrong almost everywhere today.

Price indexes like the CPI are what measure the change in prices of a set of goods.

Inflation can influence prices since the supply of money changed, but they aren't directly linked.

Edit: getting plenty of requests for a source here, especially because you will find countless sources online using the price increase definition.

> The difference between an expat and an immigrant? Semantics

> “Immigrants are usually defined as people who have come to a different country in order to live there permanently, whereas expats move abroad for a limited amount of time or have not yet decided upon the length of their stay,” he says.
Well, yes, fiat is extraordinarily useful, and used, including for crime. However, there are many rules and mechanisms in place to stop fiat being used for crime (KYC, AML, CTF, ...). So, it is better suited to legitimate transactions, and worse for illegitimate ones. Lastly, fiat is indispensable in running a modern economy.

In contrast, crypto is designed (qua permissionlessness) to evade regulation. Since it's fairly crappy technology, it's also slow and inefficient and cumbersome. So, it is better suited to illegitimate transactions than to legitimate ones. Lastly, crypto is entirely dispensable.
Intel can still be kind of faster for "productivity" stuff? At least if you are willing to pay for the >8000 MHz CUDIMMs
(which i don't think AMD even supports at full speed?) which can result in pretty impressive performance. Of course the value/price is probably not great...
Yes. For automation software it's fully updated (not: upgraded) target system definition.
its fixed!
But it kind of does. Salaries of workers in ancient China, Rome, medieval Europe... are well known.
The original discuss was around "rising crime rates", not "high crime rates". Even if you want to have this separate discussion, you're leaving out the obvious context of "crime rates are lower than they used to be when Trump was president immediately prior to this", so, if you think crime is too high, the answer is not someone who presided over even more crime.
Who doesn't feel safe doing that? This does not seem like a real problem to me. Nearly everyone speaks freely about their views all the time.
>Women's healthcare isn't an issue that resonates with young (read: unmarried) men. It should, but it doesn't. There could have been some "look out for your wife" messaging, but there wasn't.

Because sensible people don't think that Trump presidency means "no healthcare for Women".
Assessing ELangTech: The EU's Multilingual Toolset
Looks interesting, is there a binary for Mac OS? I'd rather not build from scratch just to demo.

For the people comparing to Cursor on features, I suspect the winner is going to be hard to articulate in an A:B comparison.

There's such a difference in feel that may be rooted in a philosophy, but boils down to how much the creator's vision aligns with my own.
The last poll for Iowa, from the highest rated pollster for Nate Silver, had Harris +3 and Trump won Iowa +13.

The polls were better but still consistently underestimated Trumps support by a lot. Basically, the weighting they do for the polls now basically just guarantees that they converge on the results of the last election.
Performance reviews are a scam. I know from my manager days that the performance ratings at my company were determined even before any manager or self-reviews were written. Reviews match the performance ratings; not the other way around. It made me sick.
Submission title should probably be updated to reflect the full title:

The disagreement is that Fox News focused on gender politics, but it was largely absent from both Biden and Kamala's campaign.

I guess congrats to Fox, because focusing on it all day every day worked. The average joe thinks that's all the Democrats care about. It's extremely transparent when someone says "gender politics" what media they're consuming.
The problem with this analysis is that you can write a nearly identical one for Trump. Trump is broadly disliked, anti-democratic, and ran just as much of a fumbling campaign as Harris did. The key difference is the media environment. People no longer get their information primarily from CNN and NYT. They get it from TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook, and the right dominates those platforms now. Compare the Biden age discourse with the Trump age discourse. The latter is basically nonexistent despite Trump taking office at the same age as Biden. Look at the exit polls showing that the economy was a major concern for voters despite real wages, employment, and basically every other measure of economic success being at all time highs. That's because people are bombarded by videos like the one with JD Vance lying about the price of eggs. The right controls the narrative. That's why they won this election.
Listen, when we look back at the achievements of presidents, we don't talk about the things they didn't do. We don't praise Ronald Reagan for _not_ signing a bill that reinstates slavery. We don't praise Carter for _not_ starting a war with Denmark. When I apply for a job, I don't tell my interviewer I won't shit on their desk, I tell them about the stuff I can do for their business. Saying you won't do something is not making an offer.
may be Sapiro didn't want to run this time.
>The money from ZIRP mostly goes to the upper class as it props up asset values - stocks, land & housing, luxury goods, etc.

One that people tend to miss: compensation for high-income professionals. When that gets bid up, so does the price of everything they spend money on. Education/childcare, personal electronics, healthcare, transportation, food, etc. It's not just the wealthy and ultra-wealthy; when the upper middle class can pay and not feel pain, that's taken as a signal to jack up prices across the board.
i agree it's not cunning or a plan, but that doesn't exclude the possibility that this is an evolutionary/societal adaptation that _really works_.

Two things can be true at the same time: that this type of banter has undesirable consequences as well as desirable ones. This type of nuance is generally the sort of thing that's worth trying to understand before you try to 'fix' it.
Its not that they couldn't, its that they couldn't without a watcher knowing. And frankly this tradeoff is not new, nor is it unacceptable in anything other than "Muh Apple"
Right, me telling the GOP voters what the GOP platform says is the problem. The problem isn't that GOP voters don't understand the platform, or, rather, choose to play stupid about it in a thinly-vieled attempt to hide any bigotry.

I will believe you when the GOP themselves does not say racist things and does not propose anti-trans legislation (coupled with incredibly transphobic propaganda). Until then, it is completely fair and accurate to highlight the bigotry of the GOP. If it bothers you, which I have a bit of doubt it does, but if it does - feel free to vote for platforms that more closely align with your ideology.

You should not be getting offended at me telling you your party's own platform.
Indeed. What exactly is being called out? That someone is expressing concern at the impossibility of a vendor's claims?
Makes me wonder what it costs to send a "simple" camera along. Factors that make it probably not so simple: even 200 grams of camera (and extra solar panels to supply +10W while operating) probably costs many thousands of euros in rocket fuel and emission taxes. The engineering time to properly fixate it onto the spacecraft, integrate the software, and test the whole thing cost probably a few ten thousands in salaries. Radiation may be a big problem for what's otherwise off-the-shelf hardware, that might mean the hardware costs much more (tens of thousands instead of a couple hundred euros potentially?) and gets significantly heavier from shielding, but I wouldn't know how much. Is that about right, am I missing something major and/or am I off on orders of magnitude somewhere?
Also nice to be able to boast a bigger uplift in the following gen due to regressing this one! But they definitely did need to get their efficiency under control since their parts were turning into fairly decent personal heating units.
Are you referring to Elon Musk? He also torpedoed a mass transit project in California and built the stupidest version of a train ever conceived in Las Vegas. It's not clear that Elon Musk has a good sense for efficient means to reduce climate harming activity - just that he wants, and is good at getting, government money for his projects.
Most CI/CD platforms will allow specification of targeted triggers.

For example, in GitHub[0]:

So we set up different workflows that kick off based on the sets of files that change.

Biden won pretty handedly because moderates didn't like that Bernie calls himself a socialist. If you're chronically online it might seem like Bernie was leading the pack but I've had many conversations with the older voting population that echo the sentiment that he was never their guy.

The numbers shows the dems screwed this one up in the worst way possible from top to bottom.
I was on the suspended section about a year before collapse - everyone could tell it was about to fail. Visible stress in rusty beams, old cables, and failing concrete. I think it just came down to underfunding at the end of the day - there was no money available to ask for even if the alarms were louder.

And for most applications it was obsoleted by the larger new telescope in china, so there was no large push to turn that ship around from the wider scientific community.
Hey, thank you! You're not the first to mention the docs. I'll have a full rewrite of the docs planned shortly where I'll address your (& others) valid points.
You can't just say random garbage and use it to justify a wack conclusion, dude.
Seeing a parallel to another field with more blatant examples of the types of discrimination keeping women out of tech-related jobs is helpful.

And more discussion around these issues is more likely to lead to positive outcomes than ignoring them.
Migrants then because Trump told you it's the last time you have to vote.

It's never been easier to "invest" in Bitcoin thanks to the ETFs which have been greenlight by the SEC since early this year.

FTFY.
This is the classic time-money tradeoff. Theoretically you only need one wrench and one attacker—but even if she attacks 100 people a day it would take thousands of years to reach everyone. And word of the attacks would spread, so later victims would take steps to safeguard their money and the attacks would become ineffective.

To be maximally effective you'd need to mobilize enough attackers and enough windowless white vans to reach the entire populace within probably a day, so let's say 3 million attackers and 3 million white vans. That's when things start getting more expensive than the sql query.
Agree. Take the 50-ish million people who cast their vote to Harris/Walz and are eligible (over 35, natural-born, resident for more than 14 years) to be president.

Either one of two things is true:

1. That was the most likely to win ticket possible and the DNC had zero-point-zero chance to win the election.

2. Among those 50 million people is another ticket and/or different platform & messaging that would have resulted in a win for the DNC.

If #1 is true, the problem isn't with the electorate (other than they disagree with the DNC). If #2 is true, the problem also isn't with the electorate.

Well it's a question of perspective, isn't it? You're an expat to your birth country and an immigrant to your country of arrival.
I am surprised at how much this thing is just straight up crushing it with just 8 cores.

I think it topping the machine learning benchmarks has to do with having only 8 cores to share the 96MB of L3 cache, which ends up having a ratio of 1core having 1MBL2 + 12MB L3 which is huge, that means EACH THREAD has more cache than i.e the entire nvidia 3090 (6mb l2 total), and this ends up taking FULL advantage of the extra silicon of various avx extensions.

Hard agree! I do think AI will find its way into our productivity tool kit in different ways.
There are still so many ways we can go about doing this, A:B comparison aside I do feel the giving people to power to mold the tool to work for themselves is the right way.

Fully agree.

Admitting you supported Trump on HN is suicide.

But then more than half of the country voted for him, so I guess ... do the math, even if HN's participants are biased blue.
Interest rates remained relatively low compared to history throughout the 2010s and the year over year inflation figures for that decade remained below 2.5% throughout those years, during both Obama's and Trump's presidencies. Inflation spiked after the Feds debasement of the currency in 2020 and 2021, during both Trump and Biden's presidencies, when it expanded the money supply at an unprecedented rate.

> Changing number of representatives would require a constitutional amendment

No, the size of the House is determined by Congress; a century ago they decided to cap it at the current number, and never increase it since then, regardless of population increase.

> I don’t think number of representatives matters as it’s mostly representative of population

That's not the case, though. A quick look at constituents per representative across states is all it takes to see how stark that is.

It's extra important because the number of electoral votes each state gets is dependent upon their number of representatives.
Iowa was polling at +3 Harris. Trump won it +13. Not even close to margin of error.
No chance he gets a prison sentence for the NY case. He will get a suspended sentence or some other slap on the wrist. The Federal cases are dead. There is no chance they can continue while he is in office and they will be killed by the time he leaves.
I agree that maybe people need their feelings humored, but how is this gaslighting? I'm not denying that there's food inflation or restaurant inflation - I pointed out that it's a narrow way to look at even your own economic position.

Food might be up 30% in biden's term for all I know. And maybe wages are only up 20%. But as long as rent is 0% and asset growth kept track with inflation (it's blown past it), you are still ahead.

I suspect this is just standard human loss aversion at work. I feel this even from my own wife who looks at our economic position worse than me even though it is the same numbers. What's worsened becomes more important than what's improved, even if rationally, it nets out even.
These folks are trying to do what you are suggesting here:

It is an interesting idea.
I provably can. I just did it. You didn't think this through, did you?
You're thinking of Ross Perot.
I'm in Texas, in Big Tech. I didn't vote Trump. But I understand.

I'd like to get out of here but can't move because of mortgage rates, among other reasons. I'd like to change jobs but tech layoffs have flooded the job market. It's an anxious time. My 401k is doing great though.

I don't blame Biden for all this. There was absolutely no choice but to pour enough stimulus into the economy to cause massive inflation in order to prevent a revolution during COVID. But if I'm feeling the hangover I'm sure the real working class is staggering.
If you have a modern Mac you have very little business using `pdisk`. It is only for editing disks mapped with an “Apple Partion Map”. This is obsolete replaced in practice by GPT on modern apple machines.
The question is supposedly whether things are better or worse, not whether they're "good enough" in some abstract way.

If you think things aren't good enough for an average person in one of the statistically best periods a capitalist economy has ever seen, there are redistributive alternatives. That doesn't seem to be what Trump voters are expecting. Instead there seems to be a nostalgia for past better times, which isn't really explained by "people are squeezed" based on math that would almost certainly have worked out just as tightly ten years ago.

Something else is going on. I don't claim to have a full explanation but none of the attempts to "fix" BLS statistics that I've seen have been more persuasive than this.

"Have i felt better over the past 4 years" .

Imagine coming out of covid, without a recession, only to be hit with inflation (both parties to blame) and sky high interest rates coupled with all other stuff like illegal border crossing to lack of majority support from Women to Harris to Harris being a silent VP for 4 full years and thrown to lime light.

> prioritizing backwards compatibility

Backwards compatibility is very "cheap" these days though? With no arcane architectures and chip designs. PS5 and Xbox are basically just generic PCs running a restricted OS and Switch is just a phone/tablet.
I think this is doubtful, and it's a testament to the way the IRA was written. There are now bipartisan constituencies who support different parts of it. And there was no real chance we were going to get anything new on the climate regardless of the outcome. I think this issue will just be status quo for this term.
The article credits two academics (Hinton, Fei Fei Li) and a CEO (Jensen Huang). But really it was three academics.

Jensen Huang, reasonably, was desperate for any market that could suck up more compute, which he could pivot to from GPUs for gaming when gaming saturated its ability to use compute. Screen resolutions and visible polygons and texture maps only demand so much compute; it's an S-curve like everything else. So from a marketing/market-development and capital investment perspective I do think he deserves credit. Certainly the Intel guys struggled to similarly recognize it (and to execute even on plain GPUs.)

But... the technical/academic insight of the CUDA/GPU vision in my view came from Ian Buck's "Brook" PhD thesis at Stanford under Pat Hanrahan (Pixar+Tableau co-founder, Turing Award Winner) and Ian promptly took it to Nvidia where it was commercialized under Jensen.

For a good telling of this under-told story, see one of Hanrahan's lectures at MIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk4fvqaOqv4

Corrections welcome.
I don't think hyper consumerism goes deeply enough to answer the question of why we saw prices change so rapidly. We printed trillions of dollars and flooded the economy with new money. We had extremely low interest rates, again creating more new money in the system. We stopped student debt payments, meaning people had more money in their pockets to spend. We also stopped evictions, though you would really have to be a special kind of asshole to skip paying rent so you can buy more random consumer goods.

Its worth noting that printing new money was the actual inflation, inflation is a measure of the increase in the money supply itself. Prices did go up, or you could say the dollar lost value, but price changes aren't actually inflation (prices are tracked by indexes).

I sure as fuck wouldn't trust a non-overseas bank to handle my money. Because I'm in Argentina, and although I'm stupid, I'm not that stupid. I have no idea where rel_ic is, but if they're in the US, they can't use Binance. If they're not in the US, it's quite likely that they'll want to use an overseas exchange for security reasons.

Using a cryptocurrency exchange isn't as risky as using a bank. You can fund your account with a small amount of bitcoin, exchange it to fiat, withdraw it, fund it with a 20% larger amount of bitcoin, and repeat the process a logarithmic number of times until all your money is changed. You don't have to leave your money in it for a long period of time, risking things like bank failure and getting locked out, and if the exchange decides to steal from you, it only gets a small amount of the total you're changing. It doesn't know in advance which transaction is the last, so it can't just wait until the last transaction to rip you off.

I agree with your recommendation to hire a financial advisor from the traditional financial sector, but they may not be familiar with this kind of situation, and some of them are professional con men as well, to a lesser or greater extent.
Of course your comment is being downvoted. Hackernews is an echo-chamber of Trump haters. I'm only here for the cope today.
I just pushed pricing live last Friday, so it's yet to be proven whether they'll pay for the product. They definitely use it, but paying for it is different. If they do end up paying, I'd actually consider leaning into it hard by potentially creating a NSFW clone of the current thing
