>But sometimes you will get some feedback. And sometimes that feedback is nasty.

Hopefully I wont be one of these, but why do you use bad AI images as the most prominent piece in your posts ?

I've read one post and its not bad, but the images you use just really put me off. They give the felling of 'cheap'/'low effort', which is not an accurate representation of the text you wrote.

If that is an intentional stylistic choice, you should make it more clear to the reader. Maybe add a tagline to your blog? Adjust the theme? Or maybe add something in the text to make it clear why you made that choice.

In a sense using these kind of images is almost like a 'reverse clickbait', where you hide good content behind a really off-putting image and this prevents some from reaching the content you created. Personally, when I see bad AI images I just assume the text will be just a copy and paste from ChatGPT so I generally don't bother reading it.

This is not a rant against AI. I think you could have the same situation using bad stock images, for example.
Single-event statistics projections are pretty useless. Much more so when the “projections” are 50/50.
doesn't matter

50 years ago non standard compliance was the norm, even today it is quite common (to use non compliant extensions)

and there is also stuff like caches, arena allocations, jemalloc etc. which might not be linked against libc/free and might require manual free function usage, external APIs providing a their own free/destruction functions is really really normal
I never felt the need to become friends with the biggest bully in high school. Why start now?
I genuinely hope every non-racist that voted for Trump gets exactly what they want because I genuinely believe they will rig future elections so that Dems don't get the chance to take office again.

The Guardian (a left-leaning newspaper) estimates that leaving the housing crisis unfixed also fuels the far right parties.

Of course (there are several GCC attributes for that), but it is not really like that an additional check improves readability anyway.
You sound quite confident. Are you willing to place financial bets?
Especially outside US - if next government will ignore world or start doing some serious harm (ie by being too friendly with putin), tesla drivers will be frowned upon universally and very few new sales can be expected, more like a lot of vandalism on cars.

I guess China is a gone market for tesla at this point.
The republicans I know have pretty varying opinions on those two wars. One pretty common thread is that they don't want us involved though, regardless of which side of the wars they align with.
They're large by territory, but small in terms of economy. Russians put a lot of weight on the former, but it's not very relevant in this day and age, especially considering how uninhabitable a huge chunk of it is.

In any case, I'm surprised this is an issue for you, considering this war revealed how inept Russia's military actually is.
Interesting, I tried zooming in now and when zooming in far enough the font does look alright!

It might be that it just happens to look bad on high resolution screens, and/or maybe some browser fractional scaling issue

As an example, one of the text fields on the page contains the word "Incredible". When zoomed in it looks fine, when zoomed at 100% the I and the n are stuck together to each other without any pixel in-between which is very ugly
> just want a showman to dazzle their softened brains

Nietzsche made this case really strongly in his chapter/essay “The Flies in the Marketplace” back in the 1880s, and pretty well predicted how this would emerge play out half a century later in Germany. “ Full of clattering buffoons is the market-place,—and the people glory in their great men! These are for them the masters of the hour.”
The market will take care of this: people will do the work or pay for it or they won't eat.
Trump got a larger share of the hispanic vote than in 2020. I'm not convinced that voters really care that much about being insulted on the whole. If you go through the archives, which parts of Trump's voter base haven't been insulted by him at one time or another?
> Every single international organization that has analyzed the situation, from the UN, ICC, ICJ

Every single hand-picked organization you mean? The organizations that act on identity politics of being Muslim / Arabs and wanting to trample Israel for religious / identity reasons you mean? Yeah... that's about right. The rest can be explained by Israel being a US ally, when it's not for the fact that Muslims just want to slaughter Jews if given a chance. The countries / governments that campaign against Israel do it so that they can stick it up to the US, but in the way they don't directly confront the US, because they are too scared of the repercussions.

> have said that they intend to punish the people of Gaza

And? Where's genocide in that? Where are the concentration camps, the gas chambers, the paramilitary force guarding the camps and executing prisoners? Where's all that? Yes, of course they want to punish people responsible for Israelis' death. Why wouldn't anyone? Do they send them in droves into gas chambers? -- Absolutely not.

> collective punishment is a form of genocide

Really? By whose definition? What about riding in a sled and saying ho-ho-ho? Is that a form of genocide too? Gazans are being collectively punished by denying them work permits in Israel. Is that a genocide? If so, then I have really bad news for you...

Ultimately, Gazans are the culprit of Gazans' problems. They started this war. They had dozens of off-ramps to stop it. They could surrender any time they want, and their beloved infrastructure would've been spared. They have a death wish, and Israel doesn't feel like stopping them from throwing themselves on the bayonets.
Well, I suppose that's one of the definitions; Hillel opted for the other one. :shrug:

I think that he wanted to emphasize the distinction between operators and functions; in your definition, there is no difference between "binary operator" and "function with two arguments". Of course, some languages limit what characters can be used in function names, but that is certainly not universally true.
And this is where the AI hype ends --- when consumers and businesses are hit with the real cost of obtaining not so real results from LLMs.
agreed; I'm not saying the person is _right_. If the left wanted to get dirty, they should have tossed up all the pedo priest data. At the end of the day, it was absolutely a messaging problem. People very literally believe that their kids could be targeted and become trans. Education and more propaganda are the only options.
Yep, Hetzner, OVH or even DO aren't even close to offering what AWS offers. Once you start exploring all the things they have to offer you understand why so many large companies use hyperscalers.

Although to be fair, most hobbyists only need basic services like cloud servers/VMs, and hyperscalers like AWS are an awful deal compared to other options if you only need compute + storage + bandwidth. You don't need to use S3, Lambdas and Cloudfront to host a personal blog, a simple VPS will be more than enough.

It feels like most devs nowadays prefer using services that abstract away the infrastructure, at the cost of not developing SysOps skills, so I don't see a future where the Cloud is going to lose relevance.
When people say this, they just seem to mean European countries have more universal healthcare than the US does. But /keeping/ your healthcare program after it's already been invented is conservative!

European parties are definitely not to the left of the Democrats on immigration or minority rights.
I'm aware, having taken Ancient Greek in high school, thank you very much. Meanings shift. An aristocracy is not a meritocracy and is mostly distinguished by its reliance on social status instead of actual merit.

See e.g.:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/aristocr...
Immigration is not at a historic high in us or Europe. I think it’s a combination of regressive social policy and redistribution upwards plus moderately high immigration which leaves an opportunity for populist bigots to leverage anti immigration rhetoric in elections.
Constant immigration is not sustainable. Especially when people come from cultures which are very different than the west. They have different value systems, religions, etc. There is also the problem of scale, imagine if all of India moved to Germany. What would happen? At some point the politicians will have to look at the issue.
Why not? We're already in union with the US, which also invades other countries when it feels like it, and nobody sees that as a problem. If anything, we should get along better with Russia because we share frontiers.
What do they care about, then? I have no connection with people like you're describing, so anything you can say would be interesting to hear. My understanding is based on the news is the economy, and gun control.
Thats why we need current x86 ecosystem where youre free to match hardware with any other compatible parts you want.

Except for memory of Lunar Lakes, but they confirmed that they will not continue this soldered memory fashion. It was just to prove that x86 can fight against ARM when it comes to energy efficiency

> calling half the country racist sexist fascist inbred stupid genocidal monsters

The Democratic campaign did no such thing. Can you point to any examples? As far as I can see they went to great lengths to avoid saying anything like that.

As far as I can tell there was far more venom from the Republicans. Maybe the lesson is that a winning strategy is to be more insulting.
Is anyone making posters I can get for christmas?
All I'll say right now is to not focus so much on the half that voted against your rights that you forget about the half that's behind you.
This seems to be a misunderstanding.

With "stuck" I mean information about the candidate that stuck with me.
> whereas it takes as an axiom that society is built on systemic oppression - that’s the unquestionable tenet

You didn't say, but I think strongly implied, this is untrue. Why do you think so?
What's the best way for someone from one of the groups that Republicans hate to move to a Western European or Nordic nation where they are less likely to be marginalized or threatened? I'm sure there will be plenty of time to analyze exactly what happened, but right now my only concern is getting out.
There is absolutely no reason to expect Trump to act like a responsible leader. If he feels like leaving NATO he will do it.
Search the news for mothers and their babies dying because doctors in states which have enacted abortion bans refuse treatment. That's what happens.

Rove vs Wade was overturned because of a right wing stacked supreme court, which has nothing to do with the sitting president. Unless you think the executive has control over judicial decisions?

Trump is enabling all sorts of backward thinking ideology to fruit, directly or indirectly.
You're wrong. Factually wrong. Plenty of smaller companies deliver parts and services to the European car industry. Here in Denmark, Danfoss had to fire 200 people because of Volkswagens decline.

Buying a chinese car means that you directly support the chinese regime, and that you directly undermine a "local" European competitor.

But if you're fine with that, and you just want the "biggest car for the least amount of money", you do you.
They are certainly more anti-war than the Dems right now
We just had by far the most pro-union administration in decades, eg they saved the Teamsters' pensions, and in return the Teamsters didn't endorse them. Americans don't care if you respect the working class or not, they're postmaterialist voters.

But they're also "education polarized", so they definitely care if you respect people who didn't go to college. But "respect" doesn't mean you're nice to them or even that you do things for them as a group. It could just mean you don't come off like you went to grad school.
> All senior Israeli officials (president, prime minister, defense minister, finance minister, and others) have said that they intend to punish the people of Gaza for October 7th (collective punishment is a form of genocide). I can find quotes, all from Israeli media or their own Twitter accounts, I had a collection of them once.

People set a database to track those, given sheer amount: https://law4palestine.org/law-for-palestine-releases-databas...
I believe people who claim he will "end democracy" do not believe he will literally put an end to elections. Many places widely considered "undemocratic" also have elections.

> They definitely won't be allowed to vote for him since he'll be at up against the term limit.

I'm sure if Trump were younger and up against term limits, he (and his party) would simply ignore them or change the rules. That's the kind of democracy-ending actions that could easily happen. Lucky for us, I think he's too old for this particular problem.
Why would it matter? It's not defense.

Defense was what happened in a first day or two in Israel territory, then IDF started coutnerattacking.
Look in to the false elector plot.
Yet no-one will ever admit they regret voting for him. They’ll blame everyone else including themselves, but will never criticize their leader. The parallels with religion are frightening.
> What does the article purport them to be? Right at the top I see:

It seems to imply a concerted effort to mention the title of the movie in the script in a meta, fourth wall breaking sort of way.

In some cases that's obviously true - Hot Tub Time Machine, Suicide Squad from their examples - but other times an untitled script just needs a title and it's plucked from the script.

I think there's a distinction there, because the latter is less of an Easter Egg sort of thing and more "ok now we need a title."
Gov would bail out intel or amd lol, this would negate American tech dominance and would try to prevent that
Yes, we know. Those people are wrong, but the mistake of their opponents is thinking that pointing this out is sufficient in the post-Obama era where things are so focused on retaining power. Most Republican politicians and staffers knew Trump lost in 2020 - we have records of them saying so – but they also recognized that he got a LOT of people to vote and gambled that the Democrats got lucky with the freak pandemic and Biden’s somewhat unique combination of being well-known nationally and white men thinking of him as one of their own even if they don’t agree with all of his policies. They adopted the big lie gambling that he’d do it again in 2024, and it worked.
And buying etfs? You’re insane if you think any dip will last more than a few months. The powers that be won’t allow it.
I look at the grander picture. It’s not that the democrats aren’t connected, it’s that the American people are culturally bankrupt. The romans became decadent after all, culturally incapable of maintaining their empire and slowly declining in power and influence over Europe. The American idea itself is in decline.
Even "advanced" heat shields are basically bakelite.
I was referring to Goebbels’ own words regarding the application of propaganda and its efficacy when you understand the psychology of the masses as a collective entity (quite distinct from the psychology of the individual). He was a prolific writer (I believe his diaries measured 40 volumes!).
This will clearly happen because Pence was so influential in Trump’s first term, and Trump also followed through on so much of his and/or his vice president’s claims in the first term.
I've only used a couple QAT accelerators and I don't know that field much... What relatively-easy-to-use and not-super-expensive accelerators are available around?
> why would they say that and then continue to run for elections?

Are you suggesting that the USA should have a single political party? Anyone that cares for democracy would be against that, regardless of their other political views.
I get a lot of political text messages from multiple red states (for some reason) and it was almost all culture war stuff from the right. But maybe the messaging was super-different in swing states.
And a good day for the stock holders in the USA. The stockmarket likes Trump.
Maybe this is the containment zone, an unmoderated section on the front page, one place that is actually about the elections where we can rage a bit and get it out of our systems...

Which doesn't seem too bad in terms of everyone getting an outlet to process things one way or another, and keeping the rest of the front page clean.
Indeed, and this contaminates all other analyses as well. Sure, shorter titles are dropped more frequently – but that sounds like it could be just because character names tend to make for short titles.
At the end of the day though he was the one that spent the time to understand what they care about.

> Literacy levels: 54% of adults read below a 6th-grade level, and 20% read below a 5th-grade level.

This is the reality in America. The education system failed these people.
Trump is merely taking advantage of that. He understands that logical arguments aren't necessary, merely emotional ones that appeal to how downtrodden and forgotten these folk feel. If he can make them believe that building a wall and/or deporting immigrants will get them their jobs back or that tariffs will bring manufacturing back to America that is more important to winning an election than truths or reality.

He won fair and square, the election -is- a popularity contest, not a competency contest.
The dollar traded at pretty stable levels through the 2020-2024 period, and most countries that could did similar things to their currencies as we did.
Legally, no. But prior to Trump, every single US president had served either in a political office or in the military.

It just seems unreasonable to assume that knowing how to govern isn't an important qualification for the job of actually... governing.
Accepting a null pointer in free is a very easy part of the conformance and I am yet to see a libc implementation that doesn't so far, so your statement should be pretty much outdated even if it were true. And since malloc-free interface is so popular in C, other allocators are also commonly modelled after that (plus their own APIs) anyway; jemalloc for example has an usual free with the standard interface.
It seems you didn't read my comment?

> They don't want war with Russia, they're pissed about the COVID stuff, and they aren't happy with the price of gas.
Veritasium released a wonderful new video yesterday, "On These Questions, Smarter People Do Worse" which ..... I'm not going to spoil it for you but you will understand why I responded with the link.

Watching, they discuss a study about gun control and I though omg I was thinking about that recently and the study they presented answers the question I've been pondering about gun control. If you watch the video, you will understand my disappointment.

I had been living in New Orleans including when it had the 8th highest murder rate ... not in the United States but the world in 2022 (it was #1 in US hence not 8th). The city couldn't hire police officers and close 120 position had been unfilled. There is a very strange phenomena happening in the past 2 years, the crime rate in New Orleans is plummeting without police. [1] So, in the Veritasium video, they talk about a gun violence study and I think, that is exactly the question I'm asking. Does gun violence go down if law enforcement is removed from the equation because that is exactly for unknown reasons happening New Orleans today. Nobody is taking away guns in New Orleans and everyone I know has at least 2. I was a little disappointed with the study but tapped my self on the shoulder asking the correct question when presented with it.

You write like those people are wrong on not wanting to support a very clear and blatant genocide by a foreign belligerent state.

It doesn't care about us, and we don't need to "care" for it, it's going to be fine without us. What we don't do is care for ourselves, which is what you're really saying, self-preservation. The earth doesn't give two shits if it's 50 degrees warmer. You can't even say it's to protect life, because some forms of life will do way better in a warmer planet too. The universe / nature is gnarly already, much more than we can ever be, and plus, whatever we do, we're nature too. So in a way you're saying nature doesn't care for itself.
Yeah, I want to voice opinions but I don't want to add to Dang's pile of work even more.
> vertebrates across the board require less data to learn new things, by several orders of magnitude.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s fair to say this.

Organisms have had billions of years of training. We might come online and succeed in our environments with very little data, but we can’t ignore the information that’s been trained into our DNA, so to speak.

What’s billions of years of sensory information that drove behavior and selection, if not training data?
I think this part changes the context: 34 counts of not properly filing business records in order to hide the fact that he paid a porn star to keep quiet about their affair in order to hide this information from voters before an election…
