That's true, but I still wouldn't call the average (neo)nazi's world view "consistent". They believe(d) jews owned the world, that white men came from the lost continent of Hyperborea, that communists were allied to the jews in an international plot to undermine the "white race".

There are many reasons one would fall for such falsehoods, but I don't think reasoning your way into a twisted ethical paradigm is one of them. In other words, I think you have to reject rationality and reasoning altogether to get to this point.

I do believe fascists lack a proper set of guiding principle. They act purely out of a desire to fit into the in-group.

And you are right that there was no inherent predisposition to nazism, anyone can, under the wrong circumstances, fall into that.
Not so sure about that. You can easily write horrible code in React: Too complex, inefficient, and/or resource-intensive.
If you don’t know the tools and have good theoretical programming knowledge, all code will be spaghetti code in the long run.

So do the public schools here, and we have 3 analog clocks in my house, but 3/4 of my children cannot read an analog clock, and 2/4 of them do not understand me when I say "quarter past" or "quarter to" no matter how many times I explain it.
That's remarkable! So much of the PRC Constitution [1] seems very consistent with what liberal democracies expect in terms of rights. I guess there's a whole area of discussion as to whether the way that rights are expressed are a function of law vs. a function of culture.

That said, many of the articles contain exceptions for "order" and "public security". Two examples I found striking because they sound good until you get to the end where it basically says "you have this right, unless, you know, we don't want you to have it":

> Article 40: The freedom and privacy of correspondence of citizens of the People's Republic of China are protected by law. No organization or individual may, on any ground, infringe upon the freedom and privacy of citizens' correspondence except in cases where, to meet the needs of state security or of investigation into criminal offenses, public security or procuratorial organs are permitted to censor correspondence in accordance with procedures prescribed by law.

> Article 51: The exercise by citizens of the People's Republic of China of their freedoms and rights may not infringe upon the interests of the state, of society and of the collective, or upon the lawful freedoms and rights of other citizens.

> there was an article about doctors refusing to do emergency rooms shifts during covid because they didn't want to pull more hours

This phenomenon did not involve Gen Z, it involved all generations, and was multifactorial in nature. It also gets complicated by health center where physicians and nurses can see inequities in how these +1 shifts and responsibilities emerge, get distributed, and get compensated.
The state of content producers (including app developers) on the internet today is the same as that of factory workers in the industrial revolution. Everyone's work is immediately replaceable with that of someone else, who is more than willing to step in to take the spot. Workers solved that with unions that can coordinate the workers' actions.

In concrete terms, a content-creators union might act as a middleman who is able to make all the contents from all its members simultaneously and immediately unavailable on the targeted platforms until some agreement is met or either side gives up.
I am a fan of this approach. About to launch a SaaS now and htmx powers much of the interaction so far.

Assigning the material outside of class is a great idea, but it only works when caregivers are involved in education. Unfortunately, not all children have that advantage and they will just fall even more behind. It’s already amazing to me how much time teachers spend reviewing the prior year’s material to stop kids from getting lost in the system.
Is it just me or is the quality of politicians on a downward spiral? Between retirement-age out-of-touch boomers, clueless good-looking male liberals and corrupt authoritarian plutocrats, it sure feels like there's a shortage of honest hard-working people in leadership positions.

I mean it is kinda obvious that the system in western democracies is structurally flawed such that there's a selection bias for crooks and incompetent assholes (lobbying, i.e. legalized bribery), but still, how come the bad guys always seem to win? Or is this just a symptom of a deeper malady of modern society?

I agree with the mismatched incentives. Healthcare is a bit similar, one doesn't pay to be healthy, but to be treated. I'm not sure how to fix this, though.
The city or the province could have done that. They didn't. The Feds could only use federal reasons.

If you'd told people 50 years ago that "literacy" would decline to the level of the reddit poster's style of writing, with poor sentence structure and words in ALL CAPS, they'd be pretty shocked. Now it's just normal communication.

>In particular, we are trying to push the ideas of htmx into the HTML standard itself, via the Triptych project. In an ideal world, htmx functionality disappears into the web platform itself.

I have been calling for this for a very long time even during pjax era. I hope that is not only an ideal but a realistic pathway forward. Chrome / Blink or Safari / Webkit. If we could just get one of them to implement it as experimental feature. How could we push this forward?

The submission heading should really be changed to the title of the paper:

"Simulation and assimilation of the digital human brain"

Beyond that, they used 14,012 GPUs each with 16GB memory to simulate a human brain, which at retail is what? roughly on the order of $7 Million or so plus a bit for fancy interconnects.

Assume you invest two orders of magnitude more, e.g. $700 million, could you get it to think like a human baby? That's couch cushion money for the FAANGs.

I feel that the only obstacles to full AGI at this point are like the obstacles for getting to the Moon in 1961 - money and a dedicated engineering effort.
I work for a Fortune 100 company. Dystopian hell hole of out of touch executives in an amorphous blob of a company that only continues due to its massive size and momentum, gobbling up companies because they can't compete and eventually sucking the soul from them... but they only own the rights to things produced on their time or on their equipment.

> Parents that believe it is solely the school/teacher's job to educate their child.

My sister works with kids on their speech at a school and she's said that it's _bad_ how many children can't read or tell you what letter their first name starts with. She says that the teachers are getting flack at parent-teacher meetings because of this, but those are things that their parents teach them!

I thought the "kids are illiterate now" stuff was overblown, and I bet it still is to a certain extent, but it's definitely bad. Other interesting things are that they're not teaching kids to read analog clocks anymore? Less important than reading, but still.

Is this because of an increase in the prevalence of child distractions like an iPad? I find that hard to believe since television filled that same void before, didn't it? COVID definitely put a lot of kids at a few year disadvantage, too.

I can't really speak to any of this because I haven't raised a kid, so I also don't want to criticize people for something I know nothing about, but it does seem like children aren't taught by their parents the same way - but I don't know if my parent's generation had the same thought at one point and this is a cyclical critique.

I'd be interested to hear other's thoughts who have more exposure to this kind of thing than I do.
One of the big things that keeps me where I'm working now is the org structure that keeps managers & non-managers on separate career tracks until significantly higher in the org chart than most big companies. Moving between manager & not isn't a promotion or demotion; it's a sideways shift.
As I'm just a lowly computer technician, no I do not get to choose who gets rights. That is typically the domain of judges, lawmakers, and more fundamentally the founders of nations.

Preventing goods from crossing an international border is called a blockade. In most jurisdictions, this is regarded as a crime and is generally done to harm an economy. Crimes are often punished. Some aren't (like wage theft, not since 1955), but a lot are.

Interfering with a country's ability to trade with another country, as well as publicly threatening to kill law enforcement officers, is quite a serious offence.

I am not certain left-leaning government should not punish crimes, as it's generally seen as a good idea to ensure that activity that disrupts life or liberty of others doesn't happen, and judiciary measures are a part of that. I guess we COULD try an idea in which people are trusted not to do harm, that could be an interesting experiment.
> credit card companies aggressively shut down manufactured spending when they notice it.

I'm familiar with the concept of manufactured spend, and why credit card companies would try to clamp down on it. What I don't get is why the US Mint would care one way or the other for the concerns of credit card companies. The usual way to eliminate manufactured spend would be to add a credit card specific transaction fee that cancels out the spend points. By the Mint increasing the base price for everybody, this affects even people who might be paying with a debit card, or an ACH transaction (not sure if they're options, just positing).

It's a great way to link to the source of a verbatim quote, though. It goes straight to the relevant context, and breaks only if the source of the quote itself is somehow changed, making the new inconsistency clear.
The FPU supports decimal numbers in BCD (binary-coded decimal). Presumably these large powers of 10 are useful for BCD conversion, especially since they are near other BCD-related masks. But they aren't normal floating-point numbers, so they don't have exponent parts. Yes, constants 6 and 7 look like they should be part of the same sequence, but nothing that I try will work.

True, but this is normal; two other Prime Ministers have taken this approach over the last 30 years, Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien both announced their intention to resign, and then held leadership conventions to select a new party leader before actually resigning.

This may be a transitory period until teachers realize they can ask much harder questions. Students become teleological (goal-seeking) agents, and the bar is raised.

I resonate with Dubray's sentiments. Maybe it's because I just turned 50 and am more contemplative at the half-century mark, but I feel anymore like I'm playing a part in peddling schlock and snake oil.

Inertia. They were cheating a lot when I was a TA, but using whatsapp groups and other online resources. Nothing changed then, and it probably won't change much now.
Anecdotally, I failed out of undergrad 3 times. When I finally graduated, it had been 9 years and my final GPA was a 2.4. I also walked out that door with 6 interviews and an offer from each, all through the school job fair. Nobody ever asked about my GPA, they care about my degree and where I got it. For reference, I attended a respectable private school, but not one anywhere near the level of Harvard.

> I hoped to watch the birth of a new cohort of pennies in person, but a Mint press representative insisted to me that he and other Mint professionals had “no idea” when or where the Mint would ever be making pennies — that these people could not narrow it down by day, or even week, at either facility. Did this mean, I asked, that it was standard procedure at the largest coin-making operation on Earth (Philadelphia), which last year minted more than two billion pennies, to decide “day of” which of six possible denominations it was going to produce? “Yeah,” he said — though, to be fair, there is vanishingly little proof he was paying attention to what either of us was saying.

There is absolutely no way he will be looked at as one of the better Canadian PMs..

By all accounts he will be looked at as one of the worst considering the position Canada was in at the start and end of his government.

.. Just all of these things are significantly worse than 2015.

With that being said I do think cannabis + child care were both wins... but like at what cost.

Also feels like with cannabis all of society was already trending there seemed like a very easy win.

Then with childcare it is a win but it is also complicated as many daycares have unenrolled from the program because it doesn't cover enough of the cost.

> a residential area

Have you ever actually been to downtown Ottawa, where those protests were held?

It's not "a residential area" in any sense.

The moderately-wide Ottawa River forms the north-west edge of the downtown area.

Along it are the Alexandra Bridge, Major's Hill Park, the Rideau Canal, Parliament Hill, the Supreme Court, Library and Archives Canada, and other government-related buildings and infrastructure. Those aren't residential.

Immediately south-east of those is Wellington Street, where those protests were held, literally right in front of Parliament Hill. It's about as close as they could physically get to the Parliament Buildings.

South-west of that, there are numerous government office buildings, commercial office buildings, small shops, restaurants, a few hotels, and so on for a number of blocks. Again, those aren't residential.

Also keep in mind that the government-imposed lockdowns and other restrictions being protested were preventing or severely limiting the use of the offices, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses in the area.

You have to go out about 1 km from Parliament Hill before you even begin to start encountering any significant number of apartment buildings and residences.

Downtown Ottawa is not "a residential area", and those protesters were in the most relevant, appropriate, and reasonable place they could have been to protest policies imposed by the Government of Canada.
Okay, so if I show you an example of a protest with people that weren't masking or social distancing, you'd be in favor of using emergency powers against protestors that were protesting for racial justice?
If you're posting on Hacker News, you probably have a skill set that'll allow you to get a job covered by a TN.

You go to border control, tell them you're applying for a TN, hand them a copy of your identification, resume, credentials, and offer letter. Then you wait for a couple of hours while they process you, and you're set for the next few years. Rinse and repeat until your job sponsors you for an H1-B or you marry an American citizen and can apply for a Green Card.

Of course, there's other ways - talk to an immigration lawyer - but that's the simplest.
