Not anyone. Some kind of test is required for admission. I am thinking like the UK system.

Also if you are being $ focused then offer it where there is ROI: STEM, medicine (allow more doctors too).

Education doesn't lose its value if it is free. Does food and water? Shelter?

Unless people are just tuning out of their degree and it is just a social thing. In which deal with that specific problem.

Sure, but I find that this phenomenon is just different people thinking at different levels on the abstraction continuum.

For those who are not familiar All Souls is for the best of the best of the best. Unlike other Oxford colleges, it has no undergraduate students and consists entirely of fellows who automatically become members of the college’s governing body.

It is an academic research institution, focusing on humanities, social sciences, and theoretical sciences. It maintains approximately 80 fellows, selected through various fellowship categories.

Is it better for the people who live in the rural areas of whatever state you live in? Are the better areas affordable?

I’m far from a “disaffected rural White American Trump supporter” (yes I’m purposefully using a cliche). None of those adjectives describe me besides “American”. But a lot of people on the left (which I am when it comes to social issues) are very self unaware.
>I look forward to the evaluation by the administration to see if it's needed or it's redundant red tape.

That's kind of the point: they're doing no such thing.

All of the talk from Trump, Musk, the now-departed Ramaswamy, etc. hasn't been about sober analysis and careful evaluation, it's endless mockery and dumb jokes ("look at this agency name or person's title, what does that even mean LOL"), or "government bad" as the parent put it.

The pushback this gets isn't because people love bureaucracy or hate efficiency but because it's obvious this isn't an actual effort to improve anything, just mindlessly slashing things businesses/the powerful don't like and stunts to make the base clap.
> the bank had lax controls in 2008 which allowed bad actors to move money through HSBC

Oh no! If only HSBC had the power to implement tighter controls that wouldn't allow it to receive boatloads of money. Oh well, it's not like they know a lot about money laundering, tax evasion, or handling large sums of money generally.

P.D. other comment mentioned that money flow attracts criminals, and I interpret it as criminals working on HSBC, not cartels using their services.
This sounds to me like industry bodies such as WG21, TC39, JSR expert groups, etc. A way to get people with full-time jobs in relevant industries together to plan their shared future. I doubt the members of this board are wealthy people joining it in their own capacity. As such, i don't think it makes sense to consider them as either altruistic or self-serving; it's just part of their job.
Back in the early days of SO, I listened to many of the podcasts by Joel and Jeff. Jeff always came across as an overall good dude. He seemed to want SO to be a helpful tool for developers, and wanted to do the right thing, regardless of the monetary implications.

> I would take issue with assuming that it was net positive with ratings.

I know this is probably as minority view, but I think if adults consent to buying and using any drug, that should be both fully legal, and their right and responsibility- any negative consequences are 100% their own fault, not the person who sold them. It's probably true that making drugs easier to buy made more people buy them, but I was only considering the ill effects of fraudulently adulterated products. Do the math differently if you don't see it this way.

I don't know how Silk Road was designed, and have never actually used it or anything like it- but I imagine it would be possible to eliminate fraudulent reviews with proper design, and they may have done so. eBay, for example, is almost free of fraudulent reviews because posting a single review is very expensive- you'd need to sell an item to yourself for full price, and then pay eBay their full (rather large) cut to post a single fraudulent review.

As a buyer, you should be able to take a single high effort review that contains something like mass spec chemical analysis results, and further confirm that the reviewer themselves has a credible history of making purchases and reviews broadly across a lot of different sellers. An impossibly expensive to fake signal. This could also be done automatically by the platform- by making the more credible reviews display first.

> I do not understand why he pardoned this guy when he’s supposedly anti-drug and anti-cartel.

I explained this in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42787217

Trump is not an idealist- he will promise anything to anyone if it gets power and attention. Previously, he had attempted a political career as a leftist, and switched to the right because it was getting more traction.
It is common IMO, I know several families that practice this. I am in fact an 'uncle' to a child in more than one non-blood family.
Although there is probably support for immigrants besides welfare, I believe that welfare itself is reserved for citizens.

And this is not a statement for or against immigration, but in response to what some people have said (not PKop, to whom I am replying): non-citizen immigrants do pay at least some taxes, in the form of sales tax. And, depending on how they are paid (cash or paycheck) they will also be paying taxes on their own pay. If they are getting cash it is easier to avoid taxes. It is harder if they're receiving a salary.
Law is based on a common consensus of morality (at least in theory) so they are, in fact deeply intertwined.
Agree this is a consequence of people reading too fast and reacting.

Scaling and networking a modular photonic quantum computer
That's because the Democrats are corrupt and have no platform beyond managed decline. We just had sickly king Theoden in office with a coven of Grima Wormtongues controlling the executive. Kamala Harris is an empty suit devoid of original thought, and quite obviously only selected for her identity. When asked how she would be any different, she said Biden was an old white man and she was not. She couldn't speak even in the most favorable venues like Oprah, and refused to go on Joe Rogan's podcast because she would have obviously imploded and humiliated herself.

It's stunning how far the Democrats have fallen. They've been completely co-opted by the PMC class and simply use identity politics to distract from their utter inability to deliver on anything. One need only look at the sad state of California, its massively delayed and over-budget high speed rail to nowhere, homelessness and decay, over-regulation inhibiting everything including the beloved green energy projects, etc. Texas literally has more green energy and cheaper electricity than California because they let people build, which can even be seen in their falling rents. Progressives can't allow that because it might 'change the character of a neighborhood', which is ironically one of the most conservative and anti-progress positions you could take.
Maybe more like radical libertarianism?
An excellent visualizer. I particularly appreciate the use of text metaphors and analogies in lieu of traditional graphics, as it provides a more relatable metric to go by than just starkly different bar sizes on a chart.

My only critique would be to put into perspective social problems (e.g., homelessness, medical debt, etc) to demonstrate what portion of these could be solved through the wealth of a single billionaire. This is going to be even more critical as we approach the bleak reality of having our first trillionaire, barring global catastrophe wiping out asset values.
Yeah I’ve sometimes even seen the same user on HN expresing a desire to cut Amazon down to size and then the very next week bemoan some layoff or closure.

Seems like it would save a lot of stress, and be less schizophrenic, to just buy things elsewhere.

I still have a pretty hard time getting it to tell me how many sisters Alice has. I think this might be a bit optimistic.
Are you accounting for things like free healthcare when comparing wages? (I wish I did't have to say this, but it's a genuine question, not snark). I always wonder when people compare other countries to the US.

Edit: I agree that Brexit was the most incredible piece of self-harm that I've seen a country do to itself. I certainly don't have rose-tinted spectacles about the state of the UK.
LA fires destroyed 17000 houses. Roughly average value: $3 million each.

That is $51 billion by my calculation.

Musk is worth $400 billion.
I think you've got a very strong view on what it will definitely look like, but I don't see any exploratory thinking on how we move to that point.

The world is chaotic. We have no way to predict that this is what it will end up like.

One possibility is that AGI remains a tool, without a mind or direction other than what we give it. We may manage to constrain it in that manner, and it is used to do "work" in the sense of solving mathematical problems, engineering problems, etc. We could end up with a reduced scarcity (if not post scarcity) scenario, where people do other things for meaning (come on, use your imagination here, plenty to imagine).

I could even imagine neural implants and regenerative technology. Meaning suddenly we're not so constrained by our physical limitations. What possibilities does that unlock?

I sometimes feel that the doomers lack imagination.
It's no different from creating an open source project, profiting from the free work of thousandths and then cash in a la JBoss or Redis.

Musk is rich, because government takes money from poor people, and gives it to Musk! I am not allowed to buy normal cheap car. I have to choose between expensive Tesla or bike! Government will even give $20k to Musk for every Tesla!

https://github.com/banesullivan started pyvista as a grad student (IIRC) before he ended up working at kitware.

I've used PyVista extensively for making figures for papers and other projects, but at times one must delve into the lower level VTK api to do things not at all or well exposed at the level of the PyVista API. Overall its a good project and I hope it continues to improve and expand access to powerful stuff in VTK minus the segfaults I occasionally run into when attempting to do so from python...
I'm on your side, but there's two readings of these reports:

Most billionaires cannot extract most of their wealth without crashing the price of their remaining assets. No doubt the gulf is still great, but it's a little smaller than the raw numbers imply.
Not me, I wasn't born into wealth.
I almost hate to be "that guy", but for most Americans, the sarcastic phrase could just as well be:

"You could be one day the hypothetical person mentioned in the article with USD100000 net worth".

It just happened. You have no idea what the evaluations were, they haven't been released and you weren't in the discussions. I hope they will be though.

From an outsider perspective this committee in particular seems redundant as there are other agencies that handle this scope.

If you want to boil it down to "government bad" sure, but I view it more as "over-regulation is bad".

Or do you view the government as a well oiled machine that couldn't have any bloat and we should never evaluate and cull feature creep in it?
Seems Wise isn't at all a lower cost alternative, nor does it seem very fast. I pay a flat fee of ~1 EUR per transfer with USDC on Arbitrum which arrives after a couple of seconds, while Wise is giving me a quote of 3.39 EUR for a 100 EUR transfer, 20EUR fee for a 1000 EUR transfer, and says it would arrive tomorrow.

> ...even if it's grouped somewhat incongruously under Department of Homeland Security.

DHS is arguably a much more appropriate home for the Coast Guard than its previous department, Transportation, given all of the facets of their actual mission (source: father and grandfather both in the Coast Guard for 30+ years).
The wars are how American tax payer money gets given to all these companies. Why would they try to end them?
Your statement is true but misses (deliberately?) the greater point.
As with most of these things, the (shallow) comparison is interesting but there is no actual justification for why it's _bad_.

Why do I care how many jets an ultra wealthy person can buy? I literally am not affected by it at all. In fact, my best friend is an aircraft mechanic at a popular private airport. He directly benefits (full wage, salary and benefits) from the rise in private air travel.
Dan Carlin's "Hardcore History" podcast mentions this in almost every episode. Numerical values in historical documents are always to be greeted with LARGE amounts of suspicion if not outright disbelief.
Show HN: Emoji This – A tool to decorate your texts with emojis
Hi HN! I have created a website (and app) where you can send a text, and it will decorate it with relevant emojis: https://emojithis.com

I noticed that I often use ChatGPT to add emojis to my messages, so I created a super simple one-API-call thing.
I ended up using it a lot, and after a 5-minute search, I noticed that something like this didn’t exist!

So, I asked ChatGPT for a website design (please don't judge me :) ), made the tool more robust, and showed it to some friends.
Naturally, they asked for more features, such as a list of relevant emojis, which proved to be very popular.
They also asked for an app, which gave me the opportunity to check React Native (pretty OK for small projects like this!).

Other things:
I tried to run LLaMA locally on my server, but it could not handle more than two requests concurrently.
Hallucinations and 'jailbreaking' are hopefully taken care of.
There are some AI API costs, and I may shut it down if they get out of hand (unlikely).
I thought about adding a small ad to compensate for the costs, but Google did not approve the site. I added some content and reapplied.
The mobile apps have ads. That's my get-rich-quick scheme (joke).
The MAGA ideals (this is not snark just applying logic) needs more skilled Americans so this would also be aligned with MAGA albeit one of those things that takes more than 4 years to come to fruition so politically harder to do.

At least officially, the stated goal is to eliminate the deficit, which at least Elon has been warning about lately.

If that holds up (and who knows if it will) I wouldn’t expect any taxes to be cut until the budget is close to balanced.
> The commit diff already tells you that.

When you squash a branch you'll have 200+ lines of new code on a new feature. The diff is not a quick way to get a summary of what's happening. You should put the "what" in your commit messages.
It's just being spent though, no? Sounds more like a potential waste of money than a Ponzi scheme.
This doesn't seem to work for me. I'm slightly convinced that when I'm an hour away from dying, I won't have to care about anything anymore very soon.

It just seems to make me care even less. I wouldn't be surprised if the new techno-oligarchs have similar or even worse wiring.

NCFSAC isn’t the water version of the NTSB.

The NTSB, through its Office of Marine Safety (OMS), investigates major marine accidents across all sectors, determines probable causes, and issues safety recommendations. It operates independently.

In contrast, NCFSAC is an advisory body focused solely on commercial fishing safety, providing recommendations but not conducting investigations.

Free movement of capital and the ability to identify promising projects and allocate our resources there are why our society is prosperous and why we are able to devote more resources towards healthcare than any society that has ever come before us.

This money is managed by small amounts of people but it is aggregated from millions of investors, most of these are public companies. The US spends over 10x that amount on healthcare each year.
