> even a freshman economics student can point that out

And that freshman would be more educated than 1/3 of the country.

I don't mean that as an insult to 1/3 of the country. Trump wins because he messages in a way that EVERY person can understand. A huge portion of the country will disagree with his approach, but that's vastly different than relying on people to understand concepts they've never had exposure to.
The "grab them by the pussies" comment should have been enough to show everyone that he's a morally reprehensive little clown. I originally typed out a long comment to further elucidate why he is despicable, but it actually takes away from the message. An SA advocate shouldn't be president in the 21st century.
It's an opinion the way gravity an opinion, and those who disagree have an opinion the way thinking the earth is flat is an opinion.

The difference is one is backed by hard data.
> It makes zero difference to the movie watching experience if the script line came from the script or the other way around. While you’re watching the movie, the effect is exactly the same.

Certainly not true in the case of a work adapted from another source like a novel. The words "The Fellowship of the Ring" are never uttered in The Fellowship of the Ring, and Peter Jackson's ham-fisted insert there was obvious even to people who hadn't read it, but especially to those of us who have.

And, by that token, if the dialogue suddenly seems awkward and stunted for no other reason than to insert the title, most people would probably conclude that the title came first.

Great Q - there is definitely a lot of competition in dev tool offerings but less so in end to end experiences for non technical users.

Some of the things we offer above and beyond dev tools:
1. Schema building to define “what data to extract”
2. A hosted web app to review, audit and export extracted data
3. Integrations into downstream applications like spreadsheets

Outside of those user facing pieces, the biggest engineering effort for us has been in dealing with very complex inputs, like 100+ page PDFs. Just dumping into ChatGPT and asking nicely for the structured data falls over in both obvious (# input/output tokens exceeded) and subtle ways (e.g. missing a row in the middle of the extraction).

Yeah, only a few people died right?...
Yes, and it appears the non-college folks in the suburbs (who've been having to pay more for their burgers) were the biggest shift this election, not the burger flippers themselves.
At least those folks went after the government instead of smashing the windows of every business in my city. But that event, despite being in the “worst global pandemic of 100 years” somehow got a free pass. It was labeled as “the summer of love”.

This country was founded by government distrust and rebellion. It was not founded on bashing your neighbors windows.

Those people who stormed the capitol put the fear of god into a bunch of politicians. Good for them.

The results for decompression, but no compression, are all surprisingly bad compared to other benchmarks, how comes? For example 7-zip decompression performs worse than my 7700X (84 K mips vs 93 K mips on my 7700X). Other decompression benchs are equally depressing. But compression performs as expected (as much as 30% faster than my 7700X).

What can explain those disappointing results but only on decompression?

The DNC has some serious soul-searching to do. If they didn't figure out that people wanted Bernie over Hilary, I doubt they will learn that the US voter didn't like getting lied to about Biden's mental fitness and then just inserting someone we never voted on.
Democracy keeps giving both sides a chance, meanwhile both sides always complain about the end of democracy when the other side wins.

Another curious thing on both parties, when they lose they always ask "why did the other side win?" instead of trying to understand why their candidate lost.

And the pendulum keeps swinging.

Wait, is your argument that modern economists couldn't possible be wrong? Or in this case, that modern economists couldn't possibly have co-opted the term to better work with Keynesian economics and MMT?

If physicists decide to reuse the word "meter" for a unit of measuring volume does that mean anyone that uses it as a measure of distance is wrong? Wouldn't it make more sense to create a new term for the new need, a term that doesn't collide with centuries of use?
This might blow your mind, but for a condition to truly be life treating some people will probably die even if they have treatment, otherwise by definition it would not be a life threatening condition.

For example doctors have to wait for sepsis to actually occur before treatment, thus some will die because they loose to the infection
Somewhat better, 867/114, but still not the symmetric I get on typical real workloads.
I just fixed a function named RemoveEmojis that would strip emoji characters. The problem was that emojis were still being detected in the output, even though you could open the string and clearly see it was "plaintext."

I suddenly realized the code must only be removing one part of some of the surrogate emojis, leaving behind an invisible non-printing part of an emoji in the string.

Some emojis got so complex they literally scrapped them this year. The family emojis seemed cool in someone's head, but then someone tried to make a family with mixed-ethnic parents and the children are locked to one skin color; the only solution presented was to add 7,000 more emojis to Unicode.

The last time he was surrounded by chiefs of staff, generals, legal counsel, agency directors, etc. who would say "that's crazy, you can't do that" against his worst impulses. Now, all those people are gone and people like them will not be welcome. Now, he has a conservative judiciary (thanks to his last-minute appointees) who recently ruled that he will not bound by the law. Now, his inner circle has a plan to rapidly cleanse all non-partisan Federal government positions of anyone who might tell the Trump administration why something he wants can't be done.

There is no reason to expect things to go like they did the last time around.
Thank you so much for this analysis, even as a person with layman's grasp on economics you made the deception in host's apparent off the cuff assertion very obvious. I think a big part of the problem that we have in America (and the rest of the world) right now is that it takes these charismatic individuals (All-in, Joe Rogan, etc.) 10 seconds to confidently make these false claims based on personal bias and vibes. Then it takes 10 minutes (or more) by someone with a background in the underlying maths looking at the issue in-depth to rebut. The information landscape is heavily weighted towards these grifters, and I am not sure how we can fix that.
history repeats itself, and there are no perfect people or perfect sides.

> I'm just listening to his words and assuming he means what he says.

That's not how language works. There's a whole field of linguistics called pragmatics that is about how context contributes to meaning [0].

You're taking a few seconds of his words, joining them to all of your priors, and interpreting them in that context.

His original listeners were taking his words in the context of the whole speech, joining them to their priors, and interpreting them in that context.

It's entirely expected that your interpretation would be different than theirs given that disconnect, and the most reliable way to interpret meaning is to look at who the audience was and how they would have interpreted it, because the speaker chose their words for that context, not for yours.

What do you think illegal border crossings are if not uncontrolled immigration?

Cost of groceries/gas are a separate issue. Does not mean immigration isn't.

And do you think immigrants do not make rent more expensive? If you increase the demand, without increasing the supply, what do you think happens?
> Lower stimulus would have meant less inflation but worse unemployment, right?

Yes, this is likely what would have happened. And in that case the Dems would still lose because people would be upset about the high unemployment.
What's the relevance? If you assume that a viable zygote would need to be triploid, which is already unclear, you'd expect 50% of fertilizations to meet that requirement. (Since gametes should be half-monoploid and half-diploid.) A 50% nonviability rate is high, but it's far too low to prevent reproduction. For example, the spontaneous miscarriage rate in humans is over 20%.

> Why do people keep stating that the choices are somehow not Democratic.

Because they're not. It's virtually impossible to start a meaningful new party in the US due to the FPTP system, so you are stuck with whoever the two legacy parties decide to nominate according to their own rules.

Compare Germany: nine parties represented in the federal parliament, a proportional system ensuring that getting 50%+1 of the vote doesn't mean you get 100% of the power, and relative ease of splitting and fusing parties making it so that previously unrepresented political views can easily gain representation (e.g. the socially conservative Russophilic left-wing party "BSW" recently splitting from the standard left-wing party).

> Who else beats Trump?

Most people selected out of the telephone directory at random could have beaten Trump. No, this probably doesn't include Pete Buttigieg.

> The fact is America would be happy with no one. But we got who America wanted

These two sentences contradict each other.
I don’t think this is a compelling argument for keeping things as they currently stand.
I think this had very little to do with it. From the people I have talked with and also just looking at the latino vote i think people greatly underestimate how many people actually want our immigration system changed as well as being absolutely sick of identity politics.

Also your view that dumb voters led to this is counter productive and insulting. It is what I am seeing in almost every reddit post as well. “Well people are just too dumb to know what they need”… yeah ok.
I think the issue is that when people are desperate (lost job, can't pay for needs, etc) critical thinking can be limited to just short term survival mode. Even if it doesn't make sense big picture wise.

Democratic party needs to listen and at the very least fluff up a response that people in this situation feel heard. Even if there nothing they can really do. It's all about appeasing emotions.
> Lower stimulus would have meant less inflation but worse unemployment, right?

Yes, but you can target where that unemployment goes.

Democrats were probably too fair in distributing the pain. (As well as the fruits. Both the IRA and CHIPS Acts massively invested in counties that would have always voted Republican. That boosted turnout in an adversarial way.)
This is pretty cool, sadly the sites that it uses to show the examples in action are long gone.

I do care about welfare, and the difference between infants and zygotes is sentience.

Most medical professionals and ethicists consider 24 weeks to be the reasonable cutoff for abortion because this is when the fetus starts to develops sentience.

The reason this is relevant is because that is the first stage of development capable of having an identity relationship with the future person that fetus/infant will become.

Animals don't have to be self-ware to suffer. Not introspectively self-aware at least.
Yeah thats a good point. Especially for an overly-dynamic runtime like ruby/rails, theres just not usually a clean way to cordon off sections of code. On the other hand, using nx in an angular project was pretty amazing.

How does your accuracy compare with VLMs like ColFlor and ColPali?
If you want to know what Trump really believed about the 2020 election rather than what he wanted his supporters to think, look at the allegations that he and his election lawyers were actually willing to present in court. Since there would have been legal consequences for making stuff up, the court filings were far less sensational than his public PR.
That's a fair point. I guess Democrats should have focused more on the "real policy" aspects of Project 2025 (besides abortion?) rather than the "completely reorganize the Executive" (implement fascism) parts.

Of course, Trump did distance himself from Project 2025, right? He clearly didn't like sharing the spotlight. How do we get to a situation where a candidate disavows knowledge of their presumptive policy paper, yet all the voters still believe that's his policy? Seems like an even more absurd example having your cake and eating it too.
To be fair, the article starts out seeming real for about the first third. It's only after the first list — Barbie, Damini, Sita,... Azhar, It — that it descends into obvious parody. Quote:

"What's interesting about the (Fiction) list here is that it's pretty international: only two of the top ten movies come from Hollywood, 6 are from India, one from Indonesia and one from Turkey. So it's definitely an international phenomenon."

Here the writer slides seamlessly from talking about movies with title drops to talking about movies with single-word titles which are also the name of the main character, but is still saying things like "What's interesting about this list..." and "...an international phenomenon," as if those are remotely the defining characteristics of the list he just gave. (The defining characteristic, again, is "movies named after the protagonist." That's all.)

Then there's a section break. Since the article clearly outed itself as parody right before the break, I think it's totally reasonable for anyone to stop reading it at that point. (Although maybe not 100% reasonable to come back and comment on HN about it, except maybe to express disappointment and save other people the bother of reading that far themselves.)

Anyway, after the break the author says, "You might have noticed [an icon on each movie that is] named after one of its characters." But scroll back up and you'll see that icon is missing from 4 of the movies in that list of 10: "Saina", "Nussa", "Arif v. 216", and "It". Of those 4, 3 are clearly named after a main character. The fourth (like "Ecks vs. Sever") is named after two characters (Arif and 216) but the graph shows that the author is counting instances of the name "Arif" alone, not instances of the phrase "Arif v 216".

So not only is the article trying to be funny, it's not even playing by consistent rules — it's a parody of an academic paper but also just flat-out lying about the data! That's not only annoying but uncool.

I would actually be interested in reading a real article on the phenomenon of title drops in movies, e.g. by someone who'd gone through a bunch of movies and tallied which of them contain title drops. But the linked article is just garbage.

Pot? Meet Kettle.

I worked in an advanced Alzheimer's ward for about 4 years when I was younger. There is a look that happens in the eyes which is a sure-sign they are effectively gone - it's like a light has been turned off.
(even if they have moments of lucidity, there is a clear switch that is talked about in exactly these terms if you work in these places and are close to them every day.)

Biden clearly had 'the look' back in 2021, and was making enough gaffes for people who maybe aren't as familiar with the signs of mental decline could clearly see it.

Just because you didn't, doesn't mean everyone else was wrong and saw what they wanted to see.

If you are going to argue 'well, that's just like your perspective man' you have to at least see how that same argument can be turned towards you.

You are absolutely right that it is not black and white - I fully believe that back in 2021 he had enough moments of lucidity (which generally are somewhat reliable, which appear to be tied to the circadian rhythm hence 'sundowners') -- so if all you watched were his scheduled speeches I could see how you may have been left with that impression.

There were plenty of other opportunities to watch his decline in real time however.
Maybe it’s a signal towards the end of flags.
The only thing I've been able to see so far is that Harris has 67M votes with 81.2% reporting. Assuming the remaining precincts have the same population size and roughly same D/R split, Harris would end up somewhere around Biden's total once the count is complete.
