There is absolutely nothing wrong with being anti illegal immigration.

My parents had to wait ten years to get their citizenship, do a test, etc.

Meanwhile we let people hop the border and download an app these days. It's a disgrace. Thousands of children missing or trafficked across the border, city culture completely upended, businesses getting cheaper and more desperate labor.

One point that Fussell’s Class: A Guide Through the American Status System makes over and over (maybe never quite explicitly, but implicitly, throughout) is that Fussell’s “middle class” is essentially defined by being thoroughly pathetic. They’re the most class-concerned, by far, desperately anxious to signal higher class, while having no clue how to correctly do that. An Upper-Middle spots them a mile away, to say nothing of Upper. To Proles, their preferences and behavior are grating or risible. They end up jockeying awkwardly for position only amongst themselves.
> if there are any signs that someone is a risk to democracy

All due respect, I'm curious as to what these signs actually are for Trump. Everything I've seen and heard has been horrifyingly taken out of context -- "dictator on day one" and "you won't need to vote in four years" and "he'll prosecute his political enemies", or exaggerated past the point of recognition, like "he tried to steal an election" or "he wants to put journalists in jail".

Under the Biden administration, we have seen actual criminal charges against Trump. Not theoretical, not threats, not innuendo, but actual criminal charges for trivial administrative offenses. We have seen extensive media collaboration with the administration (and the opposition when Trump was in office) in an attempt to distort Trump's words to portray him as being dangerous.

I do not agree that the US, under Harris or Trump, is at any risk of becoming an authoritarian nation. The "signs" here from both sides are all imaginary trivial things and political rhetoric. But if the watchword is "any signs" then I've got to say that I don't see how you can vote for anyone but Trump.

My forlorn hope is that people who think that Trump represents a threat of authoritarian backsliding can, in four years, revisit their assumptions and realize that the markers they have chosen to represent that threat are all wrong. They're just incorrect. Update your priors.

IMO fully mechanically milled PCBs are kind of stupid; you are never going to actually manufacture them at scale this way, so what is the point in jumping through the DFM effort to prototype with such a constrained process? There used to be a cost and speed advantage vs using a service provider, but pcbway and jlcpcb have absolutely changed the game on that front. There still are advantage for in-house manufacturing capability, but I don't think pure milling is a good approach - whatever small scale process you use for this needs to produce an end product that is highly similar to the mass manufactured process and as such will require mechanical (milling/drilling), optical (etch/ablate), and printing (mask/silkscreen) processes. I think there are some small machines getting quite close to automating the one-off production of 'real' pcbs, though.

Inflation is increase in the cost of living.

You've linked to a privately written article ("The views authors express in Economic Commentary are theirs and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland ") by someone who worked for the Cleveland Fed, who blames printing currency for inflation. No doubt that debasement of the currency increases the nominal prices of things. But it's hard to square the idea that that's all there is to inflation when you consider that lots of countries had inflation after COVID. They didn't all coordinate on printing currency.
Honestly if the Dems put as much effort into finding a candidate people like as they did into making sure the establishment candidate had as much positive press as possible, they might actually accomplish something.

Can AI Take over VC Associates' Jobs by Screening Companies?
With AI now capable of analyzing pitch decks, predicting outcomes, and comparing startups based on key metrics, it's fair to wonder if it could replace some of the early-stage work traditionally handled by VC associates. This technology could streamline the screening process, offering quicker, data-driven insights that potentially reduce human bias and speed up deal flow.

But is this enough to replace the nuanced judgment and intuition that associates bring to the table? Or will AI simply assist by handling the repetitive tasks, freeing up associates to focus on more strategic, relationship-driven aspects of the job? Curious to hear where people think this trend is headed.

I have been doing customer and market research for my startup, Evala.ai, and am very interested to hear others thoughts.

I'm sure you have a lovely cat and I'd be inclined to agree with you, as I'm not a fan of Clinton or Harris and find cats typically quite charismatic.

But saying Trump was more charismatic than Harris, your cat, or the shit I took this morning is certainly a divisive opinion at least.

I've encountered farts which cleared a room and were still more "charismatic" than Trump according to 9 out of 10 people exposed to both.
Firefox is a tool they use to achieve that mission: success of it should correlate with them achieving free and open internet.

In an age of inauthenticity on social media, people are inherently drawn to someone who appears authentic. Trump comes across as a straight-shooter. People may not love everything he says, but they feel like they can trust him because he isn't hiding behind a mask.

Of course, India rightly believes that Modi will be able to handle Trump through flattery and appealing to his "strongman" image. This also feeds into the desire and belief that in projecting or using power that is prevalent in India.

ffmpeg offers a few different encoders for many of its supported audio/video formats, and the result depends on what encoder you tell ffmpeg to use. It does not have support for using Core Audio on macOS but it does offer FDK AAC, which is one of the better AAC encoders available today - though not nearly as good as the one available in Core Audio.
And that is the saddest part of all.

I'm glad that you feel that way. You'll be relieved that those pushing the "Israel bombs whoever and then get mad" agenda was lying to you. We've been (we as in my family) absorbing rocket fire for literately years - hardly been bombing every time we get mad. It took something egregious - literally beheadings and burning of babies (I personally know at least two families whose babies were burned to death) - to ignite this war. My daughter's classmate was murdered in his home along with both his sisters and both their parents. My son's summer camp counselor was kidnapped, his body was later retrieved. Shall I go on? What would you have your country do under these circumstances?

Your heart is in the right place. But you've been manipulated.
There is no competing message to be had. The people believe that whoever is in charge is bad because their lives are terrible. They just ping pong between parties without caring to investigate policies.

You can’t appeal to voters like this apart from not being the person in charge.
I don't like the "byte code" analogy for Gaussian splats. If they were like that, then we could apply compiler optimization and those sorts of math techniques to them. But they are Probability Distribution Functions with transforms, so the math tools we have to work with them are the similar to those in signal processing -- resampling, quantizing, estimating, etc.

In that model, we don't compile them, we train them; we don't run them, we sample/rasterize them.

This link came up on HN before and was a great refresher/expander on the math of Guassians which allow all this. [1].

Since Gaussians can be estimated, neural networks can model/generate them. Researchers are using this for 4D work and mesh extraction. The NNs run at lower frame rate informing the 3DGS running at interactive rates.

You are right that it is ephemeral and really a weird trick of the eye and we need new ways to edit/create it. Vectors/pixels have had a lot more time to grow tooling. People are working on it, just the toolbox is different. Very cool stuff will be coming up, I bet!

"Sibling comments point out (and I believe, corrections are welcome) that all that theater is still no protection against Apple themselves, should they want to subvert the system in an organized way. They're still fully in control."

It stands to reason that that control is a prerequisite for "security".

Apple does not delegate its own "security" to someone else, a "steward". Hmmm.

Yet it expects computer users to delegate control to Apple.

Apple is not alone in this regard. It's common for "Big Tech", "security researchers" and HN commenters to advocate for the computer user to delegate control to someone else.
The US is not, in practice, a union of sovereign states today, regardless of whether it was in 1789.
That's extremely short sighted.

It's clear that Trump pulled out of the Paris climate accords and famously wants to start up a massive amount of drilling for oil.

Whereas recent democratic cabinets banned certain oil drilling, dedicated the US to the climate accords, installed large subsidy programs including one that prevented Tesla (fully kickstarted the electrification of the entire automotive industry indefinitely) from going bankrupt, and just recently launched the IRA which is the biggest climate change prevention investment ($3 trillion) in the history of the world, prompting the EU to follow with a similar program to compete to attract green investments and innovations.

There is simply a massive policy difference between the two parties here. And showing a graph of world emisions that have kept going up in the decades prior to mainstream climate change awareness, is grossly misleading. For one because it says nothing about US policy. Two because it happened prior significant climate change policy and a divergence between republicans and democrats on this issue. And third because without frontrunner countries there is no way that you can ever overcome the tragedy of the commons issue with climate, because India/China are certainly not going to make investments if the US doesn't and fucks the climate anyway. We can't all use that excuse, certainly not if you're the richest and most innovative country.
I prefer microservices/microrepos _conceptually_, but we had the same experience as your quoted text - making changes to four repos, and backporting those changes to the previous two release branches, means twelve separate PRs to make a change.

Having a centralized configuration library (a shared Makefile that we can pull down into our repo and include into the local Makefile) helps, until you have to make a backwards-incompatible change to that Makefile and then post PRs to every branch of every repo that uses that Makefile.

Now we have almost the entirety of our projects back into one repository and everything is simpler; one PR per release branch, three PRs (typically) for any change that needs backporting. Vastly simpler process and much less room for error.

On every objective measure the US has the best economy it has had in...pretty much ever. So they voted for "their own economic interests" by voting in a guy with plans that every economist says will be absolutely disastrous and will not only massively spike unemployment, it will lead to far greater prices for American consumers.

Trump's plan for grocery prices is to put massive tariffs on grocery imports and to deport millions of workers. There is no one with a functioning logic cortex who doesn't see the problem with this plan. But at least they can rest comfortably knowing that the Musks, Sacks and Bezos' of the world will get a killer tax break for their next yacht.

American elections are the guy in the big suburban house complaining that filling up his F350 costs a little more than it did during COVID shutdowns and thinking that somehow the guy floating insane plans is going to fix it. It's bizarre.

that is assuming every citizen has a crypto wallet, something is not even close to be true..

> You are suggesting that murdering people at a music festival and kidnapping children and kidnapping elderly and beheading civilians is a form of defense against other people hurting other people in a different geographic region?

I'm suggesting murdering people at a music festival occupies the same space, morally, as bombing entire families with aviation ordnance. One of them is painted as wrong, and the other isn't, because state terrorism is tacitly approved in the Western mainstream information space....depending on the perpetrators. When Hamas (or Russia) does it, it's "kidnapping", when Israel does it, they are "detaining suspects". From August 2023 (before the Hamas attack) AP News was reporting Israel had 1,200 detainees without charges. Why aren't they called hostages? ( https://apnews.com/article/israel-detention-jails-palestinia... )

The two regions are both enclaves of Palestine, engaged in a joint struggle for emancipation. There were 100+ Palestinians killed in the West Bank in 2022: ( https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-63073541 ) and 200+ killed in 2023 before the October 7th attack ( https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/08/1139922 ). Clearly disarmament and NOT being ruled by Hamas is not working for the West Bank Palestinians. I'm sure if you asked any of the various Palestinian militant groups, yes they are engaged in a joint defense of their people. After all, the primary purpose of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation was to try to capture enough Israelis to force a prisoner exchange and get their own people back (similar to snatching Gilad Shalit and trading just him for 1,000 Palestinians). They suffered from "catastrophic success" mixed with undisciplined follow-on echelons (Palestinian Islamic Jihad as well as others) who inflicted far more civilian damage than just a cross-border snatch & grab....and they are definitely paying for it in blood now.
