Exactly. When Ive ran out of Dieter Rams designs to rip off, it became clear that he only had two "ideas:"

1. Thinner

2. Delete functionality

Actually, I can think of one more idea he had:

- Replace physical keys on Apple's "pro" laptop with an emoji bar.

As far as "design language" goes, I don't know which parts of it Ive was responsible for, but a lot of it sucked and continues to do so. Secret menus, peek-a-boo UI that doesn't exist unless you happen to roll the cursor across it... or plug something in...

One of my favorite Apple UI blunders was the iTunes control that disappeared if you didn't have an iPod plugged in... but controlled what happened when you DID plug it in: "Sync on connect," which was enabled by default.

Guess what happened when your hard drive went bad (or suffered some mass deletion), you replaced it, and then you plugged your iPod in?
The Parcae project revolutionized electronic eavesdropping
I believe they are suggesting an experience of imaginatively visualising the events of the arrest linearly as they were narrated in their read-through of the article, serendipitously aided by being physically present at the same location, and are referencing the article's narration partially in the present tense to similarly immerse us in medias res as we follow their remark.

Alternatively, they are themselves Ross Ulbricht, describing an out-of-body fever dream or post-traumatic flashback. This seems ... somewhat less likely.
I don't think anyone in here is making the case that Ulbricht is a "good person", but comparing Escobar to Ulbricht is next-level delusional.

One of these people attempted to place hits on 3-4 individuals, the other one planted a bomb on a passenger plane that resulted in the deaths of over a hundred people.

From the rae, https://dle.rae.es/peso:

(From) latin, pensum.

Piece, from https://www.etymonline.com/word/piece#etymonline_v_14956

c. 1200, pece, "fixed amount, measure, portion;" c. 1300, "fragment of an object, bit of a whole, slice of meat; separate fragment, section, or part," from Old French piece "piece, bit portion; item; coin" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin pettia, probably from Gaulish pettsi (compare Welsh peth "thing," Breton pez "piece, a little"), perhaps from an Old Celtic base kwezd-i-, from PIE root kwezd- "a part, piece" (source also of Russian chast' "part").

So yes, it looks like coincidence.

(Peso is a word in Spanish and up until modern times, there's very little transfer from English to Spanish)

That's perfectly reasonable - but I don't think it should really have a bearing on whether he should be pardoned. That is not exactly a matter of the courts (by definition), but I think as an official public act it should be subject to the presumption of innocence as well.

I thought it was a ridiculously long sentence compared to what other people have received. 10 years was right. That's enough time. I know that he was accused of hiring a hitman, but he was never convicted of that. It should have never been used in his sentencing. I think the government tried to make an example out of Ross Ulbrich, and it was a miscarriage of justice.

I don't see how that should change anyone's opinion on whether the sentence was deserved. Whether it was legally/procedurally correct, sure. Whether he didn't get the day in court he should have had, sure. But given that no-one seems to seriously dispute that he did try to pay to have the guy killed, what he deserves is a long prison sentence, and whether that's imposed by a court doing things properly, a court doing things improperly, or a vigilante kidnapper isn't really here or there on that point.

Darcs was probably the most interesting VCS in this space. It made a lot more sense because it was more about managing patches (or features) instead of history that we do now with git.

IIRC Darcs had a lot of momentum with it until there was a problem discovered with it's algebra that allowed itself to go into an infinite loop. And then it died.

At least with git, I can think in terms of DAGs which should be in the knowledge of any serious senior software engineer.

> In this case, Trump’s own supporters stand to potentially bear the cost.

Oh, that's the optimistic outcome, where the costs will at least be borne by the people who voluntarily chose to become involved as speculators. However I expect something worse.

It will be a way for Trump to accept bribes. People will send him cash in for government favors, using the counter-flow of coins as a flimsy disguise. Those people will technically be getting something of value in their purchase. (Being able to display a large collection will also be a secondary way to curry favor.)

Then the real cost of that will fall upon the rest of America, fallout of whatever Trump took bribe to do or not-do. Tax-dollars will be stolen or wasted. Good companies will be destroyed by cheating rivals with an unfair advantage. Scammers and fraudsters will be ignored. Consumers and environments will be poisoned.
>If I chose not to be chronically keeping up with stuff on a moment to moment basis that only has vague intangible impacts on my life or those around me, specifically online, does that make me less empathetic or less tolerant of having all my time, energy, and attention stolen from me?

Some people view empathy as an active ability to "put yourself in someone else's shoes". Other people view it as a passive feeling along the lines of "it hurts to see other people hurt". If you can just stop being empathic by not thinking about it, you are in the first group. Some of us are in the second group and can't just decide to ignore it.

But if they didn't disagree, they'd have designed a system that made removing things from remote history easy, rather than a complete pain in the ass that's basically impossible to make work usefully anyway. The whole thing runs largely based on commit hashes, and when you change history, all the commit hashes change, and... good luck. This behaviour has some useful properties but it's quite often not what you want. And that isn't how this sort of system inevitably has to work! - but git does anyway, and always has done.

(By comparison, if you want to delete something from the Perforce history, there is a command for that. You can remove individual revisions, leaving gaps in the history, or the whole thing.)

I lived in Bangkok for two years. The most conventional things I did while there were Ayyuthaya (the buddha head in the roots of the bodhi tree), Hua Hin (beach town), Kanchanaburi (Bridge on the River Kwai), and Koh Samet (an island). That said:

I went to Ayyuthaya on the local train, which was more interesting than the destination. Same for Hua Hin, where I stayed in a little low-key hotel and I walked to and out on a nearly-abandoned pier. Same for Kanchanaburi where I got off a stop early and had to pay a local to drive me to the final stop, and I stayed in a low-key floating hotel in a fan room. I took a bus (and a boat) to Koh Samet and walked from one end of the island road to the other, and got to watch people playing Takraw at the police station.

One of the big reasons I voted for him. He actually keeps the promises he made as far reality will allow.

The dangers of social media without fact-checking
I'll repeat here a question I put in another HN thread. It's a question implicit in a statement. Am I right?

I think it is very likely he has no intent to sell. He doesn't need $16b he needs a lower figure, and he will secure that simply by the existence of the $16b, in some manner I dont entirely understand, and then its value is unrelated to the coin, and stands. He'll acquire real goods and property or rights over them, collateralise on that, and the secure an increase in value on them. The coin will only be guarantor over the life of some financial transaction.

If his $16b can secure $10b of external worth, which in turn increases to $11b, he winds up with $1b of untainted worth, independently of the $16b, he can be free of the $10b, keep the $1b and he's done. He won. "I didn't sell" can be true.

That happens all the time, when people confess to a charge ahead of time, instead of proceeding to a trial. Remember that the purpose of the trial is to find out whether they are guilty when there is a factual dispute about that question. Here, I suppose the existence of a factual dispute is itself disputed: does that need to go to a jury, or is it enough that the trial judge and the appeal court looked at the record and decided there wasn't a dispute?

As much as I would love to be a Leslie Knope, by the time I’ve allotted all my caring to the things in life that keep me employed , fed , housed, and ad hoc family requests, I don’t have the capacity to care about much more. I really wish I did ,but because I have a limited “care bucket” , most of it is going to a bunch of insignificant BS. What the author noticed I notice a lot too , but I think that is because I am someone who actually tries to engineer better solutions to problems. I’ve noticed a “good enough” attitude in almost all aspects of my life and it’s frustrating.

My point is that even if there were an electoral victory, the Libertarian Party would not bring individual freedom. They are operating from an assertion that starting with a list of moral axioms, every implication will be morally right by construction. By itself this is terribly mistaken (see Godel), but it goes askew even sooner when a few poor axioms are allowed to remain through "pragmatism", regulatory capture, etc.

As for the current political environment, I'd say that bureaucratic authoritarianism is at least the devil we know and can be routed around by individuals, whereas autocratic authoritarianism is at best a wildcard that stands to destroy a good chunk of the laws that have actually been restraining naked power.
The mindset change isn’t that different. This is just part of the experience of growing and maturing in your career.

I’m interested in the plagiarism perspective.

I feel like LLMs are not too dissimilar to humans. We listen to a lifetime of music, read text, watch videos, etc. and when we come to create something all of that influences what we produce.

Like if you’ve listened largely to western music, and you look for a note to complete a provided two-note sequence, your choice is informed by that listening history. A non-western trained person is likely to pick a different note. Similar analogies can be made for eg English phrases, or even topics for songs.

There’s clearly a boundary between influenced by and copied. Is it the same for generative AI as it is for humans?
>These "jobs" should not be allowed to exist, at all.

Piece work is nothing new in the economic landscape of history. I'm not saying I absolutely defend it or think it shouldn't be subject to some sorts of protective rules for workers, but you saying it shouldn't exist at all begs the question of what exactly these many, many workers should do instead to make extra, necessary money instead.

If you're of a mind to answer, don't mention something from some neat ideal you have in your mind, describe something practical and accessible in the real world of the present, right now, that could replace their gig wages under existing market dynamics.

It's easy to dislike something and say it should be made to go away, but it helps to know how that will affect those who depend on it, and also to ask what they think of its disappearance in their practical lives.

He can't. The President doesn't have civil pardon power.
My understanding is they never brought the charges in the first place. The supposed online hitman and the victim were both FBI informants. They never filed any charges because it was clearly entrapment and no one was ever in any danger.

The prosecutors later used that evidence as support for their sentencing request after Ross was convicted of only non-violent offenses, which has a much lower standard of evidence. The allegations of murder-for-hire were never tested at trial. They may have evaporated under cross-examination by a competent defense. Our system of justice holds that Ross is innocent of those allegations unless convicted at trial.
These discussions are very interesting. So many red flags from Trump (this pardon, ending birthright citizenship...), and people try to justify these things. America is unfortunately heading for a very dark time. Politics aside, I am rather uncomfortable with the power the president possesses. We were always mindful that there are systems of checks and balances. However, given the current court overturned a precedent (Roe), I am unsure what the future holds. This pardon makes me very uneasy.

None of the answers give a really satisfactory answer for the underlying reason.

I have a theory, although I don't have any evidence. Zero is arelatively recent concept, and probably became part of the language after the rules for pluralization were well established. So when zero came into use it was used similar to negating a plural, like "no widgets" or "not any widgets", so the plural was used. Or maybe it felt unnatural to use singular with a number other than one.
