He mentions finding PFBA ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfluorobutanoic_acid ) in a pristine mountain stream, most likely because the chemical evaporates and gets carried by the air.
> Trump's message was largely "here's how I will fix the economy" and "here's how I will fix the border."

I read an opinion piece a week or so ago that sounded just like this. It was even more explicit about the point. Paraphrasing, she said 'I know he says really hateful things, but you guys don't get it, at the rallies everyone is giddy and happy, it's such a joyful place to be!'.

The point being that Trump is about joy. Not that his supporters were giddy about his promises of retribution. Totally honest perspective from someone deep in that bubble. I actually appreciate the honesty.

Dems listen to Trump talk about how much he wants to hurt them. They recall that he did exactly that the last time he was president. So of course the democratic candidate says she won't be like Trump. Her supporters don't want to be targeted by their own government again.

That's the thing the dems just don't get. Saying you'll be president for everyone isn't what sells. It's a high minded ideal, like civil rights. Sounds good, inspires a lot of breathless agreement, but most people don't actually care in their hearts, they just care about #1. Appealing to their basest instincts seems wrong, but it's how you win in politics. Stop trying to take the high road that doesn't exist except in your dreams.
You are conflating serious injury with fatalities.
In other words almost all of the actual transactions, since the other 97% is almost purely speculation.
I'm more curious about the NYT tech union strike. They went forward with the strike and.. it doesn't appear anything bad happened. That might completely undermine the union's arguments...
I can't defend tumbler. But with regards to turntable vs non-turntable (which if you are unlucky might default to tumbler), I have some ideas. In general I feel more comfortable with turntable mode (and have used it in Blender, game engines, and robotics software). When I started learning CAD I initially switched from the default trackball to turntable as well but after a while I switched back to trackball.

Turntable makes most sense when there is well defined and easily identifiable up direction like when you are working with 3d environments or humanoid models. With mechanical parts that you make in CAD software up direction isn't always as clear, you can easily forget where the up was if you don't pay attention to axis gizmo. Plenty of parts can have critical features on all sides, and the preferred "up" direction in most useful views for the part doesn't necessarily match with the up direction of whole assembly.

Turntable view has one downside which the article didn't mention - lack of "state independence". The behavior of mouse movement depends on the angle from which you looked at the start. This can result in situations where you meant to rotate around one axis but it rotates around different one or the rotation happens in opposite directions. Tumble and trackball don't have this problem as rotation isn't affected by global axis direction.

One more potential factor is use of 3d mice. I haven't used one myself, but I would assume that it somewhat avoids the most confusing aspects of non turntable modes. Thus in the best case reducing the need to improve default behavior for regular mice, in the worst case hacky 3d mice integration depending on the chosen rotation style which might brake if something other than tumbler is chosen (I really hope that no 3d software does this, but I lack the experience to confirm this).

This makes me wonder has any software tried dynamic turntable. That is turntable where the role of z axis is replaced by whichever axis was closer to up at the start of mouse drag. Always one of the 3 axis, not the local rotation up direction.
Eh the USA hasn't defaulted on its debt. Yet. Once it does BTC will stop shadowing the USD.

For me personally as a person of Indian descent raised in the US, the anti-Indian sentiment that seems to be rapidly growing in Canada makes me feel uncomfortable with moving there (and I'm sure many Canadians are just fine with me staying out.)

That's not to say that Canadians are right or wrong in having issues with the levels of Indian migration to Canada, I just don't want to end up on the bad side of that.
SemScore: Evaluating LLMs with Semantic Similarity
I can see that. It confuses me mostly because North Africans seem, at least to the eye, far more similar to Arabs than they seem to sub-saharan Africans for instance. Arab influence in North Africa being so much more strong than the influence of any other group. Culturally, genetically etc etc.

Just interesting.

Wild, that was the first title I tried as well.
It is such a specific word, hence why I tried it first.

It's actually said eight times in the movie (I ctrl+f'd an .srt file).
The page mentions the methodology was to use opensubtitles.com, but not how which specific version was to be used from that website was chosen (because opensusbtitles.com lists tons of possible files for each language depending on what version of torrent/etc they match). It is possible that the download script used accidentally chose non-English .srt files sometimes for some films.
It would be like McDonnell Douglas ruining the engineering culture of Boeing and we'd have computers like the 747-MAX.
Thanks for guidance on sizing the instance(s), I'll experiment with that in the coming weeks.
> Democrats believe a man who thinks he is a woman is scientifically a woman

It's a bit more complicated than that. Gender is a social construct, mostly determined by genes & genitalia. It's not quite enough to believe you're a woman, other people have to believe it too. Another issue at play is that there are far more "intersex" people (who have some characteristics of the opposite sex, sometimes to the point doctors don't quite know whether to list them as male or female), and from what I've heard trans people often (possibly generally) are "intersex" in a way that wasn't visible at birth. The idea of a female's brain in a male's body isn't that far fetched.

> They believe in censorship.

I believe this one is more popular in the far right (when in power) than in the far left (when in power)

> They believe in supporting and growing the military industrial complex.

Militarism sounds like it's more popular on the right. Though it can be more complicated: military backed imperialism can indeed support stuff like welfare at home.

Now the elephant in the room: last time I checked, democrats were firmly capitalists: they believe the means of production should be owned privately. Even if you exclude actual communism from acceptable discourse, they're fairly poor at public services and keeping inequality in check.
Long waiting lists for chemo? You don't know a whole lot about oncological care in Europa do you.
A $2650 mortgage in Bethlehem PA is a very, very big house. You can’t apply the average mortgage price to a place where you can get a 2000 sqft house for under $200K. Additionally Bethlehem PA is an above average area for PA when it comes to affluence.
While tempting to link the two, you really can't. Post-hoc rationalization fallacy. I've come to appreciate that all of Yahoo finance/stock news is true bullshit. Markov process, random fund manager deciding to move money, these are all potential explanations rather than an actual identifiable and causative zeitgeist. In other words, a lot if it is really just quite random (potentially with a long term trend. But let's say again, post-hoc rationalization fallacy)
Doesn’t even matter, because stablecoins are basically acknowledging that all of the crypto tech is a farce and all you need is a digital currency tied to IRL currencies.
Looks like very recent proposal and the money hasn't been forgiven yet? If they had the power all along, then why wait til the week before the election?
We don’t need climate policy any more. Solar is by a wide margin the cheapest electricity and will continue growing at a wild pace.
They plainly had no awareness of them, nevermind believe, but even if they did it probably would not have sufficed for the aforementioned reasons. Like you said, no surprises.

Show HN: Aide, an open-source AI native IDE
Hey HN, We are Sandeep and Naresh, the creators of Aide. We are happy to open source and invite the community to try out Aide which is a VSCode fork built with LLMs integrated.

To talk through the features, we engineered the following:

- A proactive agent

Agent which iterates on the linter errors (powered by the Language Server) and pulls in relevant context by doing go-to-definitions, go-to-references etc and propose fixes or ask for more files which might be missing in the context.

- Developer control

We encourage you to do edits on top of your coding sessions. To enable this, we built a VSCode native rollback feature which gets rid of all the edits made by the agent in a single click if there were mistakes, without messing up your changes from before.

- A combined chat+edit flow which you can use to brainstorm and edit

You can brainstorm a problem in chat by @’ting the files and then jump into edits (which can happen across multiple files) or go from a smaller set of edits and discuss the side-effects of it

- Inline editing widget

We took inspiration from the macos spotlight widget and created a similar one inside the editor, you can highlight part of the code, do Cmd+K and just give your instructions freely

- Local running AI brain

We ship a binary called sidecar which takes care of talking to the LLM providers, preparing the prompts and using the editor for the LLM. All of this is local first and you get full control over the prompts/responses without anything leaking to our end (unless you choose to use your subscription and share the data with us)

We spent the last 15 months learning about the internals of VSCode (its a non-trivial codebase) and also powering up our AI game, the framework is also at the top of swebench-lite with 43% score.
On top of this, since the whole AI side of the logic runs locally on your machine you have complete control over the data, from the prompt to the responses and you can use your own API Keys as well (can be any LLM provider) and talk to them directly.

There’s still a whole lot to build and we are at 1% of the journey. Right now the editor feels robust and does not break on any of the flows which we aimed to solve for.

Let us know if there’s anything else you would like to see us build. We also want to empower extensibility and work together with the community to build the next set of features and set a new milestone of AI native editors.
This is my domain of work, so - Me. If that’s not good enough you can look at the research paper I linked.

If you haven’t looked at the article - this is directly in the summary:

> sers who were pro-Trump/conservative also shared far more links to various sets of low-quality news sites—even when news quality was determined by politically balanced groups of laypeople, or groups of only Republican laypeople—and had higher estimated likelihoods of being bots

If you want more - The original fake news, the Romanian ad farm sites, had greater success and traction when they targeted conservative viewers.

To save us both trouble - this is not some cockamamie argument about crud like “he who defines it can be correct.”,or conflation of bad reporting and hyperbole.

This is straight up conservatives being the victims and consistent targets of mis and disinformation.

I also know that this will have 0 impact on changing minds. I know it wont.

That said, I do hope we can agree that people deserve respect for their efforts to understand a topic, subject or field of work. Do read the article, and when I say that conservative / republican information diets are more vulnerable and exposed to low quality information and conspiracy theories, I’d appreciate the honor of at least having your opinion on the abstract and matter of the paper.
Though to become a law, the president would need to sign it.
I am specifically talking about the scenario where I, someone experienced with Python, am trying to use a project from someone who is not experienced in Python. There is nothing I can change since the project was already created some time ago. Most of the time, the only way for me to get the project running is to spend a lot of time debugging version issues - to find combinations of dependencies that are installable, and then to see if they work in the application context, and then to see if any bugs are part of the application or the dependency.

You might explain that away by asking why I'd want to run these projects, but a large percentage of data science projects I've tried to run end up in this scenario, and it simply doesn't happen with npm. A command existing is not a valid replacement for good defaults, since it literally affects my ability to run these projects.
this is so wrong. the dems have shifted rightward. they would've won if they were further left.
He already pulled the US out of the Paris accord his last presidency and the US is producing all-time high oil.

I guess another angle is that he is best buddies with Elon who could potentially do some interesting things there.
Precisely. Regardless of your political leaning, Congress has been playing hot potato for a long time. Instead of actually creating rules or regulations, they do nothing and let the administration or courts decide. That way they can go to their constituents and beg for votes or contributions to fight the same branches that they relinquished power to by not doing anything.
Japan is an outlier in most societal comparisons because they have a unique trait called "homogeneous monoculture with a strong adherence"

You end up with cool things like high trust, and shitty things like intense racism.
Sure, this is also worth factoring in.

But factor in how? (rhetorical question) Understanding bias well cannot simply reduce to a high-school debate style of tallying arguments for and against. First, there are more than two sides. Second, reasoning under uncertainty (with probabilities) is essential. Third, the best way for humans to reason requires getting the complexity out of your head. So one way or another, if you want to win [1], you have write down your model (we're not yet doing this here, but at least we're laying out some of the moving parts).

Anyhow, I'm not making a "final" assessment of overall bias; I'm trying to (a) expand discussion of the moving parts and (b) promote a rational and probabilistic approach here.

I guess that might be it, but it's still very surprising to hear for people that were around the internet before or around the early 2000s
Doesn't strength in numbers contradict your idea of kicking out the weak?

When I hear phrases like strength in numbers, I think of elephants. When a herd of elephants watches lions circle their community, the strong ones stand around their young to protect them.

That's analogous to "strong" countries subsidizing ones who can't provide for themselves, because having an allied presence is helpful.
It counts for exactly as much as the votes your comment got, which is to say a few warm-and-fuzzy feelings, but in a legal sense -- zilch.
Whoever is in charge gets the heat for any problems.

He happened to be at the wheel, when COVID hit, and that did all kinds of damage. His handling of it was clumsy.

Biden was at the wheel when we had high inflation (because we fixed the COVID slump with free money). I think the dems did a shitty job with our borders, and that hit him.

Check back in 2026, to see what people think.
What’s not mentioned is that skilled immigration, if it pushes aside a skilled citizen - that skilled citizen can no doubt find some other work.

But the unskilled citizen labor that gets pushed aside by unskilled immigration - they have a much harder time finding work.
its an extension as i see. You told, you can see which sites your extension is used on. If its a porn site, make it unattractive to use your extension on such sites or accept/use that knowledge.

one way of making it unattractive is to put a captcha or some distracting something before the text is put into the input-field.

Or you accept that a multipurpose tool is used multipurpose :)
He also said to want a strategic reserve of bitcoin, seeded by the currently seized amounts the US Govt already has, the rest needing to be acquired

RFK was campaigning on the same

Looked like pandering, but ignoring a “crypto vote” is not going to be a mistake future politicians make :) nobody likes politicians that treat them as a joke to be ignored. That other party is always late on this and keeps trying the same strategy of “othering” the people that are already American citizen voters. Didnt work this time, oops.
Sort of like command+k in the Finder, connects to a server. You can type in vnc://host or vnc://localhost:port... the latter is for VNC to hosts via an SSH tunnel.

It's quite a good VNC client, too.

No, thats not what I said, and you know that. I believe we are using abortion to a very high degree for basic birth control. I am aware that there are exceptions, like those you mentioned. However, while necessary, these exceptions also pose a threat. Because if we have abortion legisation which only allows for abortions in cases of rape, millions of women will, out of desperation, start to claim rapes which never happened. Its a bad situation, no matter what we do.
Seeing this phrasing more and more, and I don't like it.

"...using 0.1% as much electricity" feels far more proper.
So I exclusively marketed it on accessibility forums etc. and to be fair, a good chunk of users have come through there. But I got a wave of NSFW users out of nowhere and I can't find the source however hard I try.

But I think you're right. I should just be happy that it's helping some people, regardless of the use-case. Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful response!!
That this kind of rhetoric completely devoid of historical knowledge and common sense is so widespread tells me so many people have a completely broken model of Putin's motivations. Unfortunately it is these same people that are pushing hard for escalation. It's strange to see people's opinions be so completely disconnected from reality while also being correlated to such a high degree.

No, the fact that Russia didn't use nukes in response to Kursk incursion says nothing about his willingness to use nukes when the security of the state is actually at risk. Nuclear weapons will change the complexion of this war in ways that neither side can fully predict. It is rational to avoid moving the war to an unpredictable stage when the current stage is manageable in your favor. Not every border skirmish is created equal. They do not all rationally warrant the use of nuclear weapons.
Nobody is alluding that it _must_ be a safe-haven w.r.t. inflation; just that it's less sketchy than USD. However, I personally wouldn't put my money there, because there exist cryptocurrencies with much stronger fundamentals. XMR is one of them: the cartels, major organized groups, money laundering industries are all doing their books in it. People often claim that Bitcoin is weak fundamentally, nobody uses it for goods and services, etc etc, well they should buy XMR—it's really strong, and indeed, stable like that.
Thanks for the genuine interest :)

1. Don't want war with Russia. Trump's presidency was relatively low-war. He's also expressed a great desire to end the Ukraine conflict. If the Donbas and Crimea is the price of avoiding Nuclear war, I'm on board. The moment that switched me to deciding on Trump was when Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala.

2. Protecting kids. I don't think kids can consent to medical gender transition. It amounts to state sanctioned child abuse. I have kids. Once you're 18 go ahead do what you want.

3. Illegal immigration. I lived in South America for 4 years. My wife is Colombian, we just moved back to the States. Legally. It was a long and arduous process to come in legally. That should be made easier (something Musk at least has espoused) and coming in illegally should be made harder. I know quite a few illegal immigrants and they are being abused by the urban elite to build their summer homes. They're not living a better life and they're stuck here.

4. Federal bureaucracy. The federal bureaucracy has become a parasite on our progress. Just look at what's happening with SpaceX. This ties in with the immigration thing. The problems we have with immigration are actually that the lazy and corrupt bureaucracy takes years to process something that should take 2 hours. (and does! even in "third world" countries like Colombia)

5. Trust. Everyone who hates Trump likes to talk about how much he makes stuff up. But he's authentic. Meaning he rarely reads from a script. He talks off the cuff. He's not controlled. I'm tired of having politicians that basically hate half the country and think we're dumb because we don't like to listen to their corpo-bureaucrat speeches
You could always split one of the experts up across multiple GPUs. I tend to agree with your sentiment, I think researchers in this space tend to not optimize that well for inference deployment scenarios. To be fair, there is a lot of different ways to deploy something, and a lot of quantization techniques and parameters.
Fake title drops is one of my favorite memes, which is a screenshot from a movie/series with fake subtitles. Example:

US global influence, at least militarily, hit an all-time low when Biden twice said to Iran "don't", then Iran did, and Biden did not respond. Decades of investing in a Navy that is literally one of the most expensive enterprises in human history have been eroded as Biden demonstrated to the US's enemies that American deterrence means literally nothing.
It hurts everyone, the price shocks will be felt for years, and any gains that can be made won't matter.

Wage gains won't keep pace with any price increases either, Republican's have already outlined policies that are regressive to average Americans[0][1]

About the only thing tariffs will do is consolidate power at the top and allow the largest corporations to buy out smaller ones that can't cope as well.

We are remember, talking about broad spectrum tariffs here, which will hit any import, from food to solar panels.

Not really, I don’t even give it that energy anymore.

I just move on to the next lunatic overreacting and stomping their feet.

The majority of Americans are tired of “everyone I don’t like is a fascist”. You have four years to learn that I guess.
What about the threats to civil liberties, especially for women and LGBT+ people?
