I think authenticity is being hugely underrated as a factor for why Trump won. People inherently trust someone who is visibly flawed and speaks off-the-cuff. This preference for authenticity has always existed, but is extra strong as a reaction to social media.
I mean - you just said it didnt you? Energy touches basically every corner of the economy. Thats perfect. Yeah it does - and so it raises prices for everything.

Also why do you look at electricity? Its not just electricity, its everything. The war disrupted oil supply from Russia, which is something like 11% of global oil production. On top of it they disrupted supply chains globally.

Also, this is on top of the pandemic's economic hangover.
This is pretty much up there from the first few searches on this topic, before you have to get into any detailed economic analysis.
Yup, and both of those get the moderation hammer around here. Insane anyone tries, this ain't Slashdot/Digg/Reddit/Twitter/Facebook/etc
It's not as much of a pain if your tooling supports git repos as dependencies. For example a typical multi-repo PR for us with rust is 1) PR against library 2) PR against application that points dependency to PR's branch, makes changes 3) PR review 4) PR 1 is approved and merged 5) PR 2 is changed to point to new master branch of commit 6) PR 2 is approved and merged

Same idea if you use some kind of versioning and release system. It's still a bit of a pain with all the PRs and coordination involved, but at every step every branch is consistent and buildable, you just check it out and hit build.

This is obviously more difficult if you have a more loosely coupled architecture like microservices. But that's self-inflicted pain
Prepare for the end of net neutrality, again.
> you can bet that whoever is at the time in army could be sent to the frontline.

Of course?! We've had a volunteer army for the last half century?! How can you claim professional service members are being conscripted and sent to conflict?
I'm female and I've been here, on and off, since Hacker News was founded. (I burn accounts every so often so I don't get attached to them.)

I participate for a few reasons:

1.) I'm a 3rd generation techie and that's a fairly rare perspective, particularly for people of my age group (I'm 36). HN is one of the few places online that can appreciate that nuance and why it might matter. Related to this, I'm a woman who can in no way be considered an interloper or someone who doesn't understand the culture or the professions. I'm basically here to offer the perspective that the average HN user might hear from his daughter in 10-30 years when I opine on gender stuff.

2.) It's one of the few places with a decent age spread amongst users. Too many other sites are dominated by people under the age of 30 (to be generous).

3.) It's text based and amenable to long format textual discussions, which are how I prefer to interact online since I joined the WWW in 1993 and grew up with the text based Web.

4.) It's somewhere online where a good chunk of the userbase is more technologically proficient than I am and I like talking to people who know more than me about esoteric subjects.
I'm supper torn. I came up with a product that would probably sell well. It's not really needed (solves a simple issue people can take care of with a different product but just don't because it's inconvenient), and just dumps PFAS into houses (like that is kind of the product). As a hippie I haven't moved forward with it but at the same time I'd really like more money to help my adult children out. The idea came after learning of other products that just straight dump PFAS into the environment and thinking WTF this is horrible, I mean if we are willing to do that why not just XYZ (my product). It literally came from 'this is horrible'. And yet hippie me is torn because $$$. Us humans are not good at this stuff.
What's obvious? It was a weird election coming out of COVID. Trump also received a huge amount of votes, maybe more than he'll get this time. Should we investigate him now since Harris is back down the 60s? Where did all her votes go?
That's the best description of the All-In Podcast I've read.

It's often infuriating to listen to someone being confidently wrong, but occasionally there are some good insights.
Kinda related: does anyone else regularly finds CLI tools, installs them and never ever even call them once?
a ban on newly created anon and throwaways would slow these threads down. Also, too many Elon fanbois.
A 0.2mm difference is so vastly different from the analogy he made to using it as a measurement of volume. Hopefully you're putting this forward as an interesting factoid and did not mean it as an actual argument.
> can't force people to understand economics

People were actively deceived along the way. Do you remember that intially Yellen (and Powell together) called the inflation "not broad enough to be considered inflation", then called it "transitory" and justified printing so much money all the way into 7% inflation. At 3% PCE, Powell said everybody to relax, that nobody should doubt they will use every tool they have to fight inflation. Bostic at 2% PCE said he is not worried, he welcomes higher inflation, approaching 4% inflation would be cause of concern and would require action. Action that never came. They just lied and misinformed the people for years. People listened to this, it was all over the media. It's wrong to suggest people didn't listen.

Do you remember after 5 years of review they came up with symmetric inflation target of 2% and they instantly abandoned it because that would require lower inflation for decades to come. And nobody in media questioned it, they said people "misunderstood the target".

They don't want to educate people about the economy, they want people as stupid as possible.
> There are many aspects of America that make it uniquely more democratic than any other country could possibly be.

Including how the presidential election is decided by 538 appointed political insiders? Is that really more democratic than any other country?

These people can, and have previously, overruled the votes of the population.
sorry my bad. I missed it completely
I'm going to go out on a (thick, short) limb and say your parents weren't picking crops in a field or washing dishes at the back of a restaurant. Immigration is a complicated topic and neither party has a plan that will do anything to fix it.
I've got some good solutions on this front, I think: https://dev.to/kylepena/addressing-the-threat-of-deep-fakes-...
See these links—they contain lots of explanation about this:

The Steele dossier, which purported to contain evidence of the Trump camapign's links with Russia, turned out to actually be a Russian plant. That's what I'm talking about. People still peddle its contents as if they're anything other than fake news. That's a major problem. Same with Trump's 'very fine people' comment. You can accuse Rogan of spreading misinformation until the cows come home, but the mainstream media has also peddled its own share.
AWS Nitro (and Nitro Enclaves) are general computing platforms, so it's different. You'd need to write a PCC-like system/application on top of AWS Nitro Enclaves to make a direct comparison. A breakdown of those 5 core requirements from Apple:

1. Stateless computation on personal user data - a property of the application

2. Enforceable guarantees - a property of the application; Nitro Enclaves attestation helps here

3. No privileged runtime access - maps directly to the no administrative API access in the AWS Nitro System platform

4. Non-targetability - a property of the application

5. Verifiable transparency - a mix of the application and the platform; Nitro Enclaves attestation helps here

To be a little more concrete: (1 stateless) You could write an app that statelessly processes user data, and build it into a Nitro Enclave. This has a particular software measurement (PCR0) and can be code-signed (PCR8) and verified at runtime (2 enforceable) using Nitro Enclave Attestation. This also provides integrity protection. You get (3 no access) for "free" by running it in Nitro to begin with (from AWS - you also need to ensure there is no application-level admin access). You would need to design (4 non-targetable) as part of your application. For (5 transparency), you could provide your code to researchers as Apple is doing.

(I work with AWS Nitro Enclaves for various security/privacy use cases at Anjuna. Some of these resemble PCC and I hope we can share more details about the customer use cases eventually.)

It's funny how everyone seems to have their own, different, personal opinion of "the reason democrats lost", regardless of their qualifications.

Thank you for yours, I will add it to the list. It will share space with "jesus", "civil rights", "qanon", etc.

p.s.: calling someone "holier than thou" is usually itself holier than thou. Is this case an exception? Probably not.
Yes let's make sure no one can vote conveniently ever again. :-p
>cognitohazard

I had my own self-looping self-referencing rumination once when I was 7-10.

It was essentially "the game" but more of a cognito-hazard time loop.

It is, however, axiomatically true that you can ruminate mesa-reflectively until you become insane/manic; however the contagious aspect of it needs more physical properties, like the ability to propagate, convince, persist, etc.

reminds me of a topic...
Hey, this is what works, we have to get rid of our emotions and feelings about it. Be productive, efficient and deliver. /s
The larger voices on the more milquetoast side of the original "alt right" crowd who are still online and streaming push for two broad ideas to implement as policy:
- any business that employs someone who is not a citizen of the federal government and also not a US National, forfeits their business
- all welfare benefits for non-citizens cease

They believe that with these two major policies in place, most of the unlawful aliens will self-deport, and just considering human incentives on an elementary level, yes most of them will self-deport.
> Add in a terrible candidate who nervous laughed nonstop, did almost nothing but attack the other side, and here we are.

I can't tell which person you're talking about.
Oh, I was talking about some other dynamics that are coming into play (the Supreme Court, perhaps mass deportations that 'accidentally' include some US citizens, discrimination against immigrants, changes to the Civil Service, etc.) I admire your simple faith but do not share it. I saw a lot of Venezuelans who did on the Venezuelan election day.
"accurate document extraction is becoming a commodity with powerful VLMs"

Agree.

The capability is fairly trivial for orgs with decent technical talent.
The tech / processes all look similar:

User uploads file -->
Azure prebuilt-layout returns .MD -->
prompt + .MD + schema set to LLM -->
JSON returned. Do whatever you want with it.
Trump is on track to receive about the same amount. Maybe a bit more than 2020.
Note that there will not be an official livestream on Youtube. Every time there are some people who fall for scammers pretending to be one and end up listening to an AI impersonation of Elon Musk try to sell them cryptocoins, missing the real launch.

If you must watch on youtube, NSF or Everyday Astronaut typically have good (unofficial) livestreams.
Love the transparency here. Would also love if the same transparency was applied to pricing for their core product. Doesn't appear anywhere on the site.
I don't think that the problem is that Democrats didn't explain the technical definition of inflation well enough. The problem is that people can't afford to buy things. Having better infographics on how inflation is the derivative of price doesn't really solve that problem.
Another missed opportunity in my opinion.

Why do I use a Microsoft product to develop in Rust? Mozilla could have built the best-in-class Rust developer experience, a la Jetbrains.

Just another mismanaged, incoherent side quest.
Something to consider... it does sound more like a small business / small time user type situation and not an enterprise arrangement.
Matter-of-fact discussion of the economy didn't cause people to vote for a serial sex offender promising to execute his political rivals and purge America of immigrants. The messaging could be better but don't gaslight us. Something is very wrong with the calculus being used by a great number of Americans.
A leftist idealism quite out of touch with our current reality.
It's not. They've mentioned that they had SynthID integrated before (I'm almost certain it was from the very start). What changed is that tools to detect that something is from Google's LLM is public now.

> Google has already integrated this new watermarking system into its Gemini chatbot, the company announced today.

Key word: already

> It has also open-sourced the tool and made it available to developers and businesses, allowing them to use the tool to determine whether text outputs have come from their own large language models (LLMs), the AI systems that power chatbots.

That's basically the change.
yeah, but that was more then 10 years ago..

i bet the analysis for that is all automated by now and built into their systems, making it much easier to go after the average individual.
In Argentina we got tired of lawyers/politicians roleplaying as economists, so we voted a real economist for president. In tree years we will be able to tell you if it was a good idea...
Might be mistaken, but isn't it usually the bigger, urban and slightly more Democratic-leaning precincts that take a longer time to report?
Last times catch was incredible, anything groundbreaking being attempted this time?
First off, I am perfectly able to understand what she means. Perhaps it was not the most eloquent way to put it, but I understood every word and the sentence made sense.

Secondly, I can match your examples 1000 to 1 of times she was very well-spoken. One example, one in which she does not stutter or mispronounce any words, means nothing. I know you know it means nothing. She has spoken so, so, so many times throughout her career.

Seems like 54 day old spam account from post history? A bit difficult to tell.
Trying to reinterpret "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice" to allow for that would be quite a spectacular feat of jurisprudence.
I would assume Trump has improved his margins in California. When I visited my in-laws a few weeks ago (hispanic immigrants with a huge family), many had voted trump and trump fervor in the town (Santa Maria) was higher than ever.
pbcopy is my favorite. Almost enough to prefer a mac over my usual linux stations, but you can get that on linux easy enough.
I don’t disagree. I guess the DNC objective of stopping socialists in the primaries takes care of itself because there are no socialists in the party.
Well they were 1 second away from the last one auto-aborting and smashing into the pad instead of catching it.
I think so, too. He has a much more direct, down to earth way of talking to people.
I wouldn't call him "much less" polarizing than Trump, he still is more unfavored than favored: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/jd-v...

Is that correct? They're launching in the afternoon this time?
AI could totally help in VC work by doing the initial data stuff, like analyzing pitch decks and comparing metrics. For example, Evala.ai could instantly screen 100 startups for their potential, saving tons of time. But it probably won’t replace people yet because VC associates bring a personal touch like seeing potential in founders that data might miss. So, AI might handle the busywork, letting associates focus on building strong connections and making big-picture decisions. That's my view
I don't think it's the economy or anything else. All this seems like rationalizing to me not an understanding of what happened. Trump was able to motivate more people to vote than Harris was. I have yet to meet anyone who truly rationally made a choice that they had not already made to begin with other than after the fact rationalization. It is all about perception and what the other person believes. Reality and facts do not matter as much as we would like them to. There is no interest in anyone want to actually change their views. What argument or evidence would actually cause you to change your view? It would take extraordinary evidence for me to change my vote. I suspect that is the same for most voters, it's more of an issue of who can motivate better.
Don't let spite erode you from within. It is a destructive feeling.

This election is honestly vindicating. At least I can know I’m not going crazy when I scratch my head about the massive double speak from democrats. Forgive me for speaking so crude but my former “tribe” flushed their entire set of values down the toilet and went all in on Covid.

Bodily choice? Nope. Get a shot or loose your job.

Deaf or have language issues? Hope you enjoy not being able to read lips. Fuck you though. Only Covid mattered.

Education? Nope. Close schools for two years. Prevent kids from going to the only sanctuary they have from abusive care givers. Fuck kids. Only Covid mattered.

99%? Nope. Transfer massive amounts of wealth from poor to rich. But hey at least I’m privileged enough I can work from home.

Small business? Nope. Close small businesses and celebrate ordering all your shit on Amazon (to be delivered by poor working class, expendable delivery people so you can stay comfortably isolated working from home at your large house and not get exposed to those deadly deadly Covid germs)

Science? Nope. Almost none of the covid interventions had any science supporting them. We were literally running an uncontrolled experiment that nobody consented to.

Data? Nope. We will actively suppress people who take public data showing Covid isn’t as bad as portrayed. Let’s also treat deaths with and from COVID as the same.

Elderly care? Nope. Lock them in their care home and let them die completely alone. But hey, zoom calls, right? Oh yeah and when grandma dies, no funeral for him! Only George Floyd can have a funeral.

Minority’s? Fuck them. Only Covid matters

Community? Close it all down. Fuck them. Only Covid matters.

Anti-authority? Naw. Call this 800 number and dime out your neighbors BBQ. Cheer on when the police arrest somebody for sitting on a park bench or going onto the beach. Cheer on authorities towing cars parked at trail heads. Cheer on people getting fired for not electing a medical procedure.

Naw… these assholes deserve the loss. They brought it on themselves when they sold their souls to politically driven covid hysteria.

It blew mind how so many people I thought were in “my tribe” could so rapidly turn against virtually every single value I thought we shared. The real moral is fuck tribalism and if you are scratching your head wondering why Harris lost. This is why.
I'm not arguing that bringing tariffs down to 0 will just magically eliminate inflation. But certainly, and without debate, the tariffs Trump proposes will grossly increase the price of goods for consumers.
They're working off the same license they used for test 5, so they basically have to exactly the same thing they did for test 5. They did manage to add this:

Perhaps not. But believing in something does make your preferred candidate win, if you go and vote.
Definitely, comments are usually better than the article. I thought of a 'Letters to the Editors' section that shows top comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/bestcomments) and references the parent story, but it might not be as useful without the context.

Maybe 'See Comments' here could load the comments on the same page? In a newspaper like style.

Now you're making two claims, neither of which you're providing evidence for.

If "everyone agrees...the election had fraud", I'm sure you can provide multiple reputable polls showing this sentiment of "everyone". (I'll be generous and lower the bar to just a majority of Americans, but I'm not going to accept polls that show -only- a majority of Republicans, since your claim is "across the political spectrum")

Second. Even if, as you've admitted elsewhere, every single court case was lost (or denied due to lack of standing) in 2020, you do realize that evidence can be presented outside courts, right? Where is this evidence? They've had 4 years to collect it. If it's widespread and, as you said elsewhere is a statistical anomaly, then it, almost by definition, should be obvious to spot. Hand waving to vibes and feels and "sure seems obvious to me" doesn't mean jack.

Now, I'll grant you, that vibes and feels certainly mean a lot to the animal natures of all of us. But feels and vibes are not proof of anything.

I've had the thought that the US primary system prevents any meaningful application of Ranked Choice, or other alternative methods. Currently there's no other proximate-choice candidates that make it to the general election; i.e., the case where Kamala and Bernie and Trump are on the General Election ballot can't happen in most places right now, which narrows the choice field significantly.
The Everyday Astronaut was ahead of the SpaceX curated one for Flight 5. It had the weird effect of showing the outcome before the sound of the cheering crowd going crazy when the booster got caught by the chopsticks (which was also audible in the same stream).

Good for you. For us, because we have multiple projects going on, pulling the code in different ways, code that runs on embedded, code that runs in the cloud, desktop apps (real ones written in C++ and .Net, not glorified web apps), code that is customer facing, code used by third parties for integrating our products, no - it just doesn’t work. The embedded shares a core with other levels, and we support multiple embedded platforms (bare metal) and OS (Windows, Linux, Android, iOS) and also have stuff that runs in Amazon/Azure cloud platform. You might be fine, but when you hit critical mass and you have very complicated commercial concerns, it doesn’t work well.
The election was close. I don't believe this at all. It's simply being tone deaf. Not to mention the strong democrat support in the mid terms (when inflation was arguably worse).
