Not really sentiment analysis purely, though thats something I want to add.

When I'm on hackernews, I'm tired of coming across comments about:

- Donald Trump, Xi, Zelensky, Putin, Musk (Other people)

- China / Russia / Ukraine / USA etc

- Alcohol/drugs/gambling etc

So I basically block all that content
This was a strange sentence: “Two such expenditures — Social Security and Medicare — are directed towards the care of the elderly.”

Erhm no? They are directed toward living expenses and medical expenses, both of which are huge. Some % may be elderly care taking but likely a relatively small % in any given year vs all seniors drawing benefits.

This post sears and burns with the heat of a thousand suns. How I wish I could have read this every day, ten times a day, as I was starting out on my startup journey three years ago.

So many corners were cut in the name of speed. So much pressure from my cofounder/investor to get things out way too fast. So many months of endless suffering and never-ending bugs due to poor architecture that doesn’t scale on the BE.

I know how to push back. I do it for a living at my day job and I’m really good at it. For some reason I decided that I couldn’t ever push back against the guy who put in some money. How horribly wrong I was.
OP got divorced so they probably sold the house. Many people living on the edge could still end up pretty loaded if they sold everything and lived like OP.
> Edit: OpenVMS maybe, but not sure whether that qualifies for in wider use

In the x86-64 port, they've been moving OpenVMS to use LLVM too. With the VAX->Alpha port, DEC introduced a common backend for all their OpenVMS compilers, called "GEM". For the Alpha->Itanium port, Compaq/HP kept the GEM backend but modified it to generate Itanium code instead of Alpha.

For the x86-64 port, instead of investing in modifying "GEM" to support x86-64, VSI decided to use LLVM as a backend, and then write a translator from GEM's intermediate representation to LLVM's. So they keep the same frontends as before – except for C++, where they replaced the EDG/Intel frontend with LLVM – but now use LLVM as a backend. https://llvm.org/devmtg/2017-10/slides/Reagan-Porting%20Open...

OpenVMS has a somewhat unusual ABI. For x86-64 they've tried to make it more consistent with the standard Linux x86-64 ABI, but there remain some distinctive features. One feature (which I actually really like, I think it is a shame that other ABIs don't do this), is that variadic function calls pass the argument count in a register (%rax on x86-64). Another is that all functions must have a 32-bit address; the code of a function can be allocated above 4GB, but they allocate a trampoline under 4GB which jumps to its actual code – this was done to simplify interoperability between 32-bit and 64-bit code in the same address space. https://docs.vmssoftware.com/vsi-openvms-calling-standard

IBM still has their classic XL C/C++ compilers for AIX, IBM i and mainframe, but they've been converging to LLVM. I believe the pre-LLVM versions share a common backend with some of their other language compilers (COBOL, PL/I, PL/X, PL.8, etc), ultimately going back to work of their Toronto and Yorktown labs starting in the 1980s. More recently they've started replacing their C/C++ frontends with LLVMs, while keeping their own backend; and even more recently swapping out their backend for LLVM's too.

I wouldn't say "not allowed" because art is subjective, but there's a certain awe in visiting a place that shows clear signs of being many centuries old.

I obviously haven't visited Notre Dame yet, but when I visited the fully rebuilt Berlin Palace last year I did get an impression of "this place needs to age a couple hundred years before it's done".
Fascinating. Why is this on HN? It's quite different than the usual link to Wikipedia, which almost always is about a scientific fact, a historical event, or a very odd person.

I don’t know what sort of not depressing you’re looking for but I’d recommend Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. It’s a fun short read. If you want harder sci-fi I’d recommend the Revelation Space series. It’s far future, somewhat negative in that there is war and conflict, but I wouldn’t at all describe it as dystopian.
It’s hard to sell a counterfeit car or GPU without someone noticing a difference.

Clothes, chargers, cables, etc are counterfeit because it isn’t nearly as obvious.

Name brand foods often come with significant markups and would be fairly easy to counterfeit premium bottled water etc. Except as the article mentions food substitutes generally happen earlier in the supply chain not at the grocery store.

>It's a way of forcing companies to internalize the externalities of paying below-livable wages.

How is paying someone under the minimum wage an "externality"? If the employment relationship is canceled, does that magically make the past employee not poor?
That’s what “taking care of the elderly” means to me at a societal level. It’s not literally just old folks’ homes and hospice care, it’s how we provide for people who have aged out of the workforce in general.
I think that is double counting. I don't pay both the butcher and the pig farmer for my bacon.
GPUs are slow for single threaded things. Often 20x+ slower than your CPU. They get all of their speed by massive parallelism and some specialized hardware (like samplers). If your problem can't be easily parallelized then they aren't a solution.

The videos I've seen of the people who did this remarkable work show such a sense of pride, as they should have. It's an amazing testament that France was able to do this work, relatively quickly, in traditional ways. Maintaining that kind of expertise on the scale needed is astonishing.

I know exactly how people benefitting from government's housing programs are paying, because it is written on the website.
Okay, I’m still not sure why it matters. It’s not like he’s being an ass or saying “anyone can do it” so what’s the harm?

Did you know there are people, right now, who are squandering a fortune on mundane things and won’t have to work a day in their lives? You can be jealous of them (I am) but that’s all.
The existence of these loopholes creates two options:

1) Follow the spirit of the law, which is that on your death, your assets are taxed as they are passed on, thus you contribute to funding the laws and society we are supposedly working together to create.

2) Do work to avoid having to give up anything, even though you can easily afford it, and you'll be dead anyway.

I don't see how #2 is ethically the same as #1. He doesn't have to do the most selfish thing just because he isn't technically being forced otherwise. Caveat that I haven't researched if this guy is giving tons of money away otherwise or something, I'm just trying to explain why I think it's fair for people to criticize this behavior even though it might be legal.
Yeah utopian sci-fi always reminds me of the Dr. Manhattan quote “they claim their labours are to build a heaven yet their heaven is populated with horrors.”
> Apaches don't deploy at sea.

I'm aware that Apache helicopters don't carry troops. My analogy was a quick aside and should have been clearer that I wasn't suggesting Apache helicopters deploying troops at sea. I was drawing a parallel to a more familiar circumstance because some might assume that a warship confronting a freighter at sea is similar to a routine law enforcement encounter like a police officer pulling your car over in your home town - where a well-informed citizen might reasonably assert their rights if the officer exceeds their authority.

However, a naval warship isn't typically used for law enforcement like customs, harbor police or immigration. A warship confronting a freighter at sea isn't at all routine, it's extraordinary. It would be more akin to having your car pulled over in your home town by a squad of special forces backed up by attack helicopters and tanks. Any rational person would immediately realize this ain't a routine traffic stop by local cops, it's something very fucking serious. A reasonable person might conclude today may not be the day to quibble over legal technicalities and instead just cooperate, at least until they figure out what the hell is going on. That's certainly what the captain of the freighter I was on decided. And as I stared down all those guns and twitchy locked and loaded sailors on the open sea, I fully agreed with him - despite usually being quite concerned about due process when I'm going about my business in the U.S.

The point being that the captain of that Chinese freighter refusing to cooperate with those warships is not akin to a civil rights enthusiast merely asserting their rights during a routine traffic stop. It's either somebody with a cavalier disregard for their own near-term safety or a person under orders they cannot afford to refuse, possibly reinforced by phone calls from family members suddenly in custody back home. Assuming that captain was being paid to drag his ship's anchor in a certain location, I suspect he now realizes it wasn't nearly enough to become an overnight seagoing celebrity who never captains a ship again. Not to mention being detained, possibly charged and having his ship impounded. Most people who hire freighter captains prefer boring, predictable pros who ensure their owner's ships arrive quickly and safely, not detained by warships on the international news. If he's lucky he'll only lose his license and be blacklisted for life by insurers.

I don't see any meaningful difference between compelling to employer to pay $3/hr in extra taxes (ie. the living wage tax as described by the OP), compared $3/hr in extra salary (ie. a minimum wage bump). Is this purely a branding exercise?
> Ahh, so we lack a definition, no one is fascist, and killing political dissidents is equivalent to fair and legal elections.

No. One can condemn a regime even if one doesn't agree with labelling it "fascist".

I'm sure we both agree that North Korea is a brutal and inhuman dictatorship, but I wouldn't call it "fascist" and I doubt you would either. Because "brutal and inhuman dictatorship" is what really counts here, not whether it is "fascist" or something else.

Putin's regime is closer to some Middle Eastern or Latin American military dictatorship than to 1930s/1940s fascism. 1930s/1940s fascism was highly ideological, Putin's regime is post-ideological (Putin doesn't care what your ideology is so long as he gets to stay in charge)
Busybox comes with a vestigial make. I wager git might. Those are both in winget.
Whether deepfakes are or are not a form of sexual criminality is an absolute based on the jurisdiction. Either it is a crime there or it isn't. That's independent of whether or not individuals or the population agree it should be, whether it's moral, whether it's seen as overreaching, or any other consideration beyond what the law there says.

I see a difference. Influencers try and sell you whatever they’re peddling and they’re manipulative because they hide part of the truth to make you think it’s easy.

This guy isn’t doing that, he’s writing some kind of report on doing his own thing. He’s not trying to sell you on it or anything.
I’m surprised someone would attempt to explain the content Generation Z consumes and not even mention social media. Incredible.
Maybe?

It's also true that pretty much the most powerful AIs in existence are available to anyone willing to fork over twenty bucks a month and you'd be hard pressed to get better algorithmic outputs as a nation state with $100m to blow.

So there's an angle that suggests that this is not primarily a story about wealth inequality but rather savvy in wielding tools.
I just want to note that there is a pentagram at the top of their page. My remark is accurate and not intended to offend.

Beautiful. This reminds me of the artwork in games like Streets of Rage. Something about the 80s and early 90s vibe washes over these artworks.
The story does an excellent job of spreading blame, as evidenced by the figures you cite from the article.

But a journalist’s job is to weave those facts into an actual story, which they’ve excelled at.

This deserves Pulitzer consideration.
Ah yes, India is responsible for the woes of the US, as opposed to decades of economic malfeasence
This either fetishizes the 1950s and "traditional" values or will be used to people who do. What never gets mentioned is:

1. The existence of a permanent underclass of low paid help that made this existence possible;

2. The postwar "traditional" existence was actually a very short period in history;

3. The "traditional" homemaker role was largely because people had no choice; and

4. The top marginal tax rate in the 1950s was 91%.

The author is correct that the capitalists want us working so they can take our surplus labor value as profits. Additionally, if we have to work, even better. Coercion is a necessary and desirable condition for capitalism.

However, fetishizing "traditional" values is a common Trojan horse for radicalizing people into fascism. Hitler sold himself as a moral crusader. He told German women their role was to create more Germans. German women would get medals from the state if they had enough children. The public had to be sold on the fear of "moral decay".

Does that sound familiar? It should if you've been paying attention.

This sort of thing has infected spaces inhabited by young men too. Julius Evola, the philosopher to Mussolini before graduating to the major leagues of Hitler, extols the virtues of traditional values and gender roles. He is a darling of the 4chan suburban latch key kids.

The government doesn't need to subsidize homemakers specifically. We simply need to pay people enough so that 2 people don't need 5 jobs between them to make ends meet. As wealthy inequality worsens, population growth stagnates. South Korea is really the poster child for that now (~0.7 children per woman, the lowest of any nation).

What we do now is subsidize corporations. Walmart employees are huge recipients of food stamps. Walmart has a grossannual profit of ~$150B. Why are they being subsidized by the government instead of, you know, just paying their workers a fair and living wage?

All of these problems come down to economics, specifically capitalism. This is capitalism working as intended. I'm amazed how often I see pieces like this that recognize the problems created by capitalism without capitalism ever being blamed.
The existence of this chat proves that llms can respond with "I don't know" if instructed that it has that option.
Given that they've found living organisms in nuclear reactors and other extreme conditions it doesn't seem likely that "earth like conditions" are a requirement for life
I think the answer has to be yes. They can easily pull in a few grand a month from the electricity. They generally exist rent-free. They don’t cost that much to install.

Maintenance doesn’t seem to be even half the issue for Tesla that it is for the rest but they could also just care more. I suspect it’s both.
Any health insurers in particular?
* Crash testing & crumple zones. Going up against a "half ton" MRAP in a electric velomobile is suicidal.

* Styling & consumer preferences. The SUV reigns supreme. Partly because of CAFE's perverse incentives.

* CAFE isn't directly forcing anyone to optimize EVs, and "watt hours per mile" is not widely demanded by consumers, because EV charging is ~40% the cost of gas per mile and because EVs are still exclusively a mid to upmarket thing. Everybody penny pinching is driving a 2003 Toyota with >100k miles which has appreciated in value over the past five years.
Nice write up! Especially for people that might not be 'into keebs'. Decent explanation of what the buzzwords mean, and why they might be important to you. I also learned of the glove80, which I'd never seen before so that was a nice bonus.

Personal Note: I really wish boards with a 'thumb-ball' would get a bit more popular. I'd love something like a dactyl but they are pretty niche atm.
We didn't want lower rents.

We wanted unending and ever-increasing returns to shareholders, because somehow that's supposed to get the rest of us money.

So (not me, the collective) we voted for a guy who promised that.
I don't know the engineering required but wouldn't a few small exploding drones handle this? (by "handle" I mean break the cable). 20 cables, 20+ drones (send 100 for redundancy). We've had deep sea ROVs since the 80s. Communication is harder but we have autonomous navigation now so fire and forget?
Using AI for market price discovery actually sounds like a valuable use case.
Some recommendations if you're still looking:

The Liaden Universe series by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, the best description for this I've heard is "regency fiction in space", which is a reasonable descriptor but the series covers a pretty wide range.

The Honor Harrington series by David Webber. "Horatio Hornblower in Space". Can be a little trite in the latter books as he has to keep Honor alive and advancing while still in a the stories, but eventually picks up enough threads with other interesting characters.

Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia. A very "B-Movie" series of books, with horror monsters being real, and a secret society fighting them. They're not deep literature by any stretch of the imagination, but they're fun, even if the main character can be a bit too "perfect in every way".
I find the best uplifting sci-fi deals with high context observations and stories that illustrate how to think not what to think. ST:NG and Futurama are good examples on TV. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a good example in print.
Maybe they have different rules in other states but in mine the child of a farmer needs no license to drive vehicles on farm business. A 12 year old could be hauling 10 tons of grains behind them on a clapped out 50 year old truck and be legally okay. Or driving a tractors and such down the road.
> I think one of the biggest disasters of modern society is to relegate almost every sort of community task such as homemaking, assisting neighbors, etc. to the economic system

That's... capitalism.

Every aspect of your life needs to be financialized and exploited to generate profits for somebody who isn't you. Paid childcare is a profit opportunity. Community childcare is not.

The whole point of hyperindividualism is to destroy community because class consciousness, community, unions and class solidarity are an unacceptable threat to the economic order.
> That's fine if you want to measure sample efficiency, but ARC-AGI is supposed to measure progress towards AGI.

On the Measure of Intelligence defines intelligence as skill-acquisition efficiency, I believe, where efficiency is with respect to whatever is the limiting factor. For each ARC task, the primary limiting factor is the number of samples in it. And the skill here is your ability to convert inputs into the correct outputs. In other words, in this context, intelligence is sample-efficiency, as I see it.
For most people the answers to your questions are all obvious without anything more than weekly local news. Maybe without even that.

"just" is not a better make, it is, well, just a command runner.

Make is designed, well, to make stuff, it is a build system. But now, it is showing its age as a build system, and other, more advanced systems have taken over, these are the "better make" [1]. But it turns out that make is flexible and can be used for other things, namely running commands, and it has been rather popular for this. Problem is, make is still a build system at its core, and it has some quirks that make it less than ideal as a simple command runner, notably the ".PHONY" target. Just is like make, but it is explicitly not a build system, which allows it to do away with most of these quirks.

So is it a "better make"? As a build system, no, it is intentionally a "worse make", but as "just a command runner", then it is indeed a "better make", and I am not aware of a similar project.

You and I both know this was a party for the powerful and the rich, if it wasn't Trump and Musk it was going to be Harris and Lady Gaga or something. The point I'm trying to make is that nothing is stopping you or anyone from visiting Notre Dame to celebrate its return and perhaps even pray there if you so desire, regardless if you're a "fervent Catholic".

In fact, consider that Prince William is also present. He's a member of the British royal family and heir-apparent to the British throne. The British monarch is also the head of the Church of England, which is a friendly rival to the Catholic Church.

It is pointless to argue for identity politics, only assholes wanting to cause strife do that. Let us not waste our time and happiness on them and that.
