They did feel the need to respond - so perhaps someone in there feels their maket share threatened.

But overall, what number of future printers and other recurring revenue do they expect to sell to production workshops, corporate, or low-tech users or other users which might take what they are sold "no matter what"? This is not a new problem. Do you / do we know the distribution of customers between the more advanced customers that may care and switch and the ones that won't even hear of the thing.

See also, printers, PDF or photo editing software, operating systems, all the way to mainframes. Realistically, advanced fans are rarely a significant share of the profits. And that's a problem of course. And for some companies it absolutely does come back and hurt them (IBM's competition did in the end succeed, and linux runs on most servers.)

If anything, for 3D printers, the competition is already here - much easier for the people who care.

"who told America that Islam is a religion of peace"

This is something I considered a brazen lie in the interest of stability.

I believe in existence of individual peaceful Muslims, but I don't believe in inherent peacefulness of a religion founded by a warrior who converted Arabia by the sword and which had since seen an endless series of holy wars initiated in the name of Islam.

You can't really build societal understanding on a foundation of such misinformation.

To be clear, Christianity and Judaism aren't "religions of peace" either. Some explicitly anti-militaristic sects like the Amish maybe. But the Abrahamic faiths as such, no.

In my experience after a decade of trial and error, inulin fiber sweetened with stevia and monk fruit[1] is pretty much a perfect sugar substitute. If anything, the texture might be a little better than sugar.

Inulin is slightly tricky to work with because it clumps up easily when it comes into contact with liquid (likely for the same reason, when baking with it I prefer ghee to butter), but it mixes into the heated custard base on the stove without too much trouble as long as you stir well while pouring it in.

Another tip that's worked well for me: instead of milk or half-and-half, I use a 50:50 ratio of heavy cream to egg white + coconut water. In other words, I use whole eggs and then add an amount of coconut water that matches the difference between volumes of heavy cream and egg white. I don't recall offhand how the math on that works out (it's somewhere in an old ChatGPT log that I've been meaning to properly document), but it's a lot easier than separating yolks and it gets a great result with less sugar than milk or half-and-half.

While switching to terminology unfamiliar to me (intension vs extension of a word), I never heard anyone misinterpret "naming things being hard" as whether to use camelCase or symbols to use.

It was actually about coming up with short but sufficiently expressive names that greatly improve code legibility, so certainly names that would sufficiently well represent the intent and avoid confusion.

But I am not sure how it relates to "stopping association once invalid"? Is this about renaming things when the names are not suitable anymore? That's only a very special case of "naming is hard", but I do believe naming is hard even when starting from scratch (having seen many a junior engineer come up with what they thought were descriptive names, but which mostly explained how their understanding developed over time and not the synthesised understanding once they had it fully).

> I miss the days when the Republican party was led by a President like Bush, who told America that Islam is a religion of peace

At the same time he also said that if you don't agree with him, you're with the terrorists. I do agree that Bush went out of his way to not stigmatize Muslims or Islam, but "don't be a flaming racist" is not that high of a bar to meet, and he was very much not a moderate open to nuanced views (on this topic, and various others). Never mind stuff like Iraq, Guantanamo Bay, torture. I'm not sure it really matters for the Guantanamo Bay whether Bush is or isn't prejudiced against their ethnicity or religion: they're still detained in a camp. Without trail. For years. Being tortured.

McCain defending Obama against vile racist attacks was also not that high of a bar to meet. McCain was also a standard GOP senator during the "obstruct whatever Obama does at all cost" years, never mind how he tried to appeal to the crazy Tea Party fanbase with Palin. I don't entirely dislike the man by the way – I'd say his legacy is mixed and complex.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: don't look at it the past too rose-coloured. The current mess didn't spontaneously come to exist out of nothing. People like Bush and McCain made a pig sty of things, and then were surprised pigs turned up to roll around in the mess. The old "gradually and then suddenly" quip applies not just to bankruptcy.

Well, firstly, take a look at some tech news, because it sure looks to me like people left and right are interfacing programs with AI, desperately scrambling to get reliable, stable outputs out of their prompts.

Secondly, people need precision and stability in program behavior also. People learn that when they give a certain command, they get a certain effect, and they don't want it to break.

Interfaces that allow people to express some wish in many ways (language, direct manipulation, ...) can still be rigidly defined: appear flexible to the casual user, but rigid to someone who cares to study the several thousand rules under the hood (or whatever).

"over 50% of the country i live in are irredeemably terrible people"

A large majority of the people did not vote for Donald Trump.

but my guess is you don't actually think they're so terrible,

People who support Donald Trump are, in general, terrible people. They aren’t evil people doing evil things so why would I have an obligation to take action against them?

It is a fact of life that we all must live amongst people who we think are terrible human beings. Of course I haven’t the slightest idea what a person’s views are for almost everyone I interact with. I give everyone the assumption that they deserve respect until proven otherwise.

Given the context of the thread it’s ironic that you don’t seem to understand what it means to give the assumption of respect to people. I think you edited your disparaging remarks to me. It was hilarious to read those remarks given the context of the discussion at hand. Feel free to put them back. I don’t mind them.
I wouldn't. The wording of the 14th Amendment is ambiguous and was arguably misinterpreted by the courts.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, AND (capitalized for emphasis) subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

If they can get the SCOTUS to reconsider United States v. Wong Kim Ark from 1898 it could go either way - the court is conservative and public sentiment has shifted.

I think already at this point, that there will be several more nuclear states in Europe (inside EU) in the not so distant future.

Many of the countries already have certified delivery platforms, or have ordered them.

Of course, we're treading in new waters and it's completely unknown if any existing contracts and treaties will be honoured anymore, but that concern will be secondary to this, I think.

I say it is a secondary concern because 1. basically any European nation can put together a delivery system, ballistic or cruising, should they have to; and 2. creating the weapon itself is not really that big of an undertaking for a modern high-technology nation state level actor.
> But they didn't end democracy because they couldn't, because our Federal government has a system of checks and balances that limit the power of the president.

Checks like Congress, a majority of which is terrified to stand up to him even after an attempted coup and comically bad cabinet appointments?

Or the executive branch, of which he is the head, and can cycle department heads like an episode of The Apprentice?

The US passed an entire amendment to its constitution to prevent insurrectionists from repeated attempts to take over. The fact that he attempted to do so is already treason.

I’ve been considering Parinfer, but my issue was that it is a bit unpredictable where parens end up and I have to be careful to not mess up my code structure. Maybe I should give it another try for a longer time period.

My favourite structural editing tool for about a year now is symex[1], which is an Emacs package (and unfortunately not that well known compared to paredit, lispy, etc.). It takes some getting used to at first but after a while you only move around and think in terms of s-expressions, you don’t even see parentheses anymore. It really feels like you are a squirrel climbing trees (hence the image on the repo, I guess). I just hope the dev(s) will be able to get rid of the heavy dependencies on other packages soon.

If you're revolting because democracy is already lost, or the loss is imminent, you weren't breaking it.

Indeed. I mean, an article on censorious "priggishness" could have easily picked outrage mobs boycotting brands over deeming a trans person worthy of association as evidence that the "woke" people didn't have a monopoly on self righteousness and censoriousness.

Instead, he effectively endorsed the position that trans people were "woke" simply for existing and the consumers cancelling them had a point.

It's more the behavior of trans activists that gets people riled up.

There's really no need for men who say they're women to be going around conquering everything that's for women and then admonishing people as bigots or transphobic when they object to this.

Instead they could, you know, just live their lives peacefully without launching attack after attack on women's rights. It'd be better for everyone.
I agree with you about a transgender person who is 23, but not about anyone who is claiming to be transgender at 13. That is way too young to be sure of such things, and peer pressures/influences exist.

The current backlash is mostly caused by the hardcore activists pressuring for "the alternatives are either gender-affirming care or SUICIDE! SUICIDE! even for 13 y.o.'s"

This attitude is so hysterical that it cannot stand for long.
Why wouldn’t you just use a LLM directly for this?
I think your point is what gets missed in this conversation.

Many people just want to go to work and do their job … and not have social topics or politics discussed at work.

That doesn’t mean they don’t care about those topics, they just don’t feel like work is the correct place for discourse.

And the sense I get from recent moves by tech execs is that they simply want employees to focus 100% on work (because obviously they want to get the most productivity out of their paid staff), and anything non-work related is viewed as a distraction. Regardless of what that non-work topic might be.

ASML is so interesting. Its like sci-fi that one firm in the Netherlands knows how to make the most complicated machine ever made, and no one else can do it.

And it is arguably the most complicated machine ever made. 50,000 times a second, the EUV lithography machine hits a 25 micron drop of molten tin that is moving at 70 meters per second with two co-ordinated lasers, the first hit to change the shape of the drop of tin in exactly the right way, the second hit to vaporise it, creating Extreme Ultraviolet Light at the right wavelength to etch chip designs onto silicon at "5nm process" sizes. Some labs can cobble together something similar as a proof of concept, but not well enough to make it feasible for mass production of chips.

Show HN: Context Carbon Copy – Copy file contents for context in ChatGPT o1
Hello everyone,

I released a simple but effective command line tool, that I use for quickly copying content from my source code files to ChatGPT's o1 and other web tools.

1. Create a `.ccc` file and define files/directories that will be parsed and used as context.
2. Run `ccc`.
3. Paste the contents in your browser.

Different people have done similar things and probably there is a bash one-liner that will do this, but I like my workflow and wanted to share it with you.

Let me know what you think, I'm open for feedback, thanks!
> It's only folks who have absolutely no idea how LLMs work that find the strawberry thing meaningful.

I think it is meaningful in that it highlights how we need to approach things a bit differently. For example, instead of asking "How many r's in strawberry?", we say "How many r's in strawberry? Show each character in an ordered list before counting. When counting, list the position in the ordered list." If we do this, every model that I asked got it right.

https://beta.gitsense.com/?chat=167c0a09-3821-40c3-8b0b-8422...

There are quirks we need to better understand and I would say the strawberry is one of them.

Edit: I should add that getting LLMs to count things might not be the best way to go about it. Having it generate code to count things would probably make more sense.
To me it's fairly similar to someone making excessive use of CAPS LOCK. It can be used as a stylistic choice at times, but use it TOO MUCH and it just becomes DISTRACTING.
