>The news articles, the protests and marches, the op eds, the videos, the comments? Yes, there has been lots of outrage across every medium.

From the left, yes. Nary a peep from the right. A trickle compared to a torrent. Let's not pretend there was any sort of significant backlash against Trump on that side. If they really wanted Trump gone they could have gotten rid of him.

>and in a choice between continued suffering or the promise of something better of course many will choose the potential for something better - even if the person presenting it is a deplorable con man.

Except the people who voted for the deplorable con man were never going to vote for Harris, or Biden, or any Democrat regardless of what they offered, ever.

I think your criticisms of the Democrats are spot on, but I am curious what you think a Democratic Party platform that Trumpists would have accepted in 2024 would actually look like.

Also you can say "Republicans are worse" but you're in here implying the anger of the right and the choices they've made are perfectly justified as a response to the left, but you aren't willing to extend the same sympathy to the left. You're calling the left racist for taking some schadenfreude (which is weird given that Trump voters are almost exclusively white) when the right has literally run on schadenfreude and racism for a decade.

Trump voters are not automatons. They are (presumably) adults, with agency and free will (whatever that is) and are morally and ethically responsible for the decisions they make and the consequences of their actions. Were they lied to? Yes. Populism is, at its core, a deceitful and manipulative ideology. That doesn't mean they get let off the hook, they can get just as much as they give.
Is it? I don't see any such warning or notice on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/hg.... It's still listed here: https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110405/sections.html#t....

Perhaps it was re-added?
There was also no evidence against it. If there is neither solid evidence for nor against something I find it perfectly reasonable to apply the balance of probabilities. At least as long as you qualify your statement with a "probably".

And with the main competing theory (covid spreading from a wet market in a city that contains a biolab) also being consistent with the hypothesis that it was an accidental lab leak, to me the balance of probabilities always seemed to favor the lab leak hypothesis.

Yet saying that Covid probably originated from a lab leak was once branded as dangerous misinformation, with seemingly no evidence to support that claim
Using Ada is so cool. A very fast, safe and productive language... With a good community.
It's wild to me that everyone is calling lab leak a politicized theory.

I suppose flat earthers make heliocentrism and the laws of physics politicized theories too, then.
We can conclude nothing, except that humans do stupid stuff and usually conspiracy theories are incorrect. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Do we actually know if NIH was doing gain of function research (on Corona viruses) in the Wuhan lab? It sounds like another right wing conspiracy theory but if people have high quality sources for this being true I’ll happily change my mind.

Well, I suppose we can start with the fact that anyone voting on the opposite ticket was routinely accused of ending democracy. Just look up various reactions to Scott Jennings on CNN for an example.

Honestly, though, I'm more curious about the examples that led you to believe they reach across the aisle. Neither party does, both are firmly encamped, and both routinely resort to verbal attacks based on party affiliation.

There was a nucleotide sequence in the covid strain that did not show up in any of the proposed hosts or progenitor viral sequences, which is where leaked documents showed NIH (Fauci included I believe) discussing the non-natural origin of the nucleotide sequence. It's possible to search for articles about the Fauci NIH emails, and whether they mean anything scandalous.

Here's a technical article at NIH discussing the theory of no known natural origin for a nucleotide subsequence

You first, Larry. Else you have no credibility and no standing.
Two tricks. OP switched from programming to meta programming halfway through.

Also the reason given (not the right tool for the problem) was demonstrably false if we take the OP at face value. They solved it and their solution was robust to changing requirements.

We only know the OPs side of the story, but if we take it at face value it reads a lot like the interviewer wanted to jump them through hoops and they made the best of it. I would have politely declined the interview pretty early on if I was in their shoes.
i have one friend that i can trust to be able to talk to with challenges in my life and especially with challenges in my relationship. i know that because he has been open and sharing many of his personal challenges for by now decades with a group of friends that i am privileged to have been invited to.

for everyone else it is pretty much like you describe. i have probably over time met people from each of those categories. and some of them may actually have turned into real friends that i could trust like this one friend above. but moving around meant that we didn't keep in touch. (and it's worth mentioning that almost none of them are from my home, so without moving around i would not have even met them)

> I understand you’ve convinced yourself that the UBI and other hypotheticals are proof but they’re only proof if you’re already subscribed to those reductive views

Far from reductive, my theory is fully explanatory. People have a certain way they would like to spend their time (what they want to do) then for every step you take away from that, you need to compensate them with something (usually money). Obviously in the real world there is the threat of starvation when you don't work, so factoring that in a lot of people will be forced to accept a lower premium for their time.

> What you experience internally is not evidence of what “the real world”

This is not an internal experience. I interact with many people on a daily basis. They work in many places. Stocking store shelves, sales, secretaries, janitors, etc. These people all would rather be doing something else, but work because they are paid. Likewise many people do take joy in those same jobs, but if I ask them, there are other things they would rather be doing. The issue is that those things don't pay. It is my assertion that almost all jobs are like this. People sacrificing their time and enjoyment for money, which may then bring them more enjoyment in the future.

> people do want to do their jobs evidenced by the fact that they do them

My point is that people don't want the job, they want the money the job provides. If you gave them the money, they would start working a different job that they like better. The same way I don't really want to eat healthy, but I do because I like being fit. If I could be lean and eat like a pig, I would certainly do it. People will often do things they don't want to in exchange for rewards. This is the distinction between work and pleasure. Things you want to do vs. things you do for the reward. Then there are some things which are a mix. Where you are moderately happy doing them and so you don't need as much of a reward to be convinced to take that action. If we're going do discuss justifying original points, perhaps you should address yours: "I wouldn’t accept an employee or a boss who thought this [the exchanged of labour for money] was a reasonable definition of a job."

Can you at least see my objection? Someone who thinks a job aught to be pleasurable is breaking down the boundary between work and pleasure. This can very easily lead to abuse, where someone believes they are entitled to their employees' work and the employees should be thankful for being exploited.
I guess all that leetcoding and stack ranking didn't in fact produce "the cream of the crop"...
I disagree. Trams are too slow. They are not good for long tracks, like sub ways.
I think another big difference is that in the UK higher education is not really valued. In Germany people get PhDs because then they can get into much higher paying jobs, even if the PhD is not in a topic related much to the job. For example because I have a physics PhD I was able to get an entry level software dev position with a wage of 73k where someone with a bachelors may get only 40-50k. I don’t think that dynamic exists in the UK

You didn't actually criticize either, you just implied both sides had the same motives, goals and methods, and that both sides were whining dogmatists. There is a difference between the two.

Also no one has claimed "if you are not always A you must be B," here. Again, you're just resorting to platitudes and stereotypes, no actual criticism or analysis. You haven't actually refuted any arguments with anything but blithe dismissals.

We were relatively poor back then. I got a Timex Sinclair 1000 after begging relentlessly for it, $99 was a lot to my dad. I was around 13 or so.

Learned BASIC, assembly, a bit of Forth on that thing, and as I grew up branched out to C64 and Apple II’s and PCs, eventually became a professional developer.

It all was enabled by the TS 1000 (and by extension the creation of the ZX-80 and ZX-81).

To steal a cheesy movie quote, that $99.95 little slab of plastic and chips changed my stars.
It was never an implausible theory so the censorship over it was foolish.

Of course the immediate jump to conclusion in the first few months by some who found it politically expedient was no better either.

People need to be more comfortable saying I don’t know but we are looking into it.
Right. But I usually stay near Trafalgar Square and the Piccadilly line is much more convenient for that. (Though I will be taking the Elizabeth line from LHR my next trip because I'm initially going to Shoreditch. And, yes, Heathrow Express is something of a rip-off which the airport steers you towards.)
Tandem was a special company for sure. My dad worked there in the 80s and 90s and said it was the best job he ever had.

Animal origin does not contradict a lab leak however. Especially if you have a biolab studying coronaviruses in bats in the city identified as ground zero.

It does favor an accidental lab leak over a targeted weaponization and release, but it doesn't contradict a lab origin.
I get it, but my point was that it is not the frequency of the need that makes the difference. The acts/discussions/whatever that let you find and get comfortable with people able to provide emotional support are happening when no one needs emotional support.

You build emotional support network by building it when you do not need emotional support.

From my casual read, right now everyone is on reputation tarnishing tirade, like spamming “Chinese stealing data! Definitely lying about everything! API can’t be this cheap!”. If that doesn’t go through well, I’m assuming lobbyism will start for import controls, which is very stupid.

"mogged" in an actual piece of journalism... perhaps fitting

> DeepSeek undercut or “mogged” OpenAI by connecting this powerful reasoning [..]
Sometimes going off script is OK but that is not what they wanted here, it seems. Besides I guess that if this interview ever happened, the "solution" might not be the reason that they weren't hired. But the numerous hints that the candidate got suggest that they wanted a normal solution. Asking someone to deliver a solution within some reasonable constraints is not "joyless" and disregarding these constraints on purpose over and over is not "smart."
Sigh, I don't understand why they had to do the $500 billion announcement with the president. So many people now wrongly think Trump just gave OpenAI $500 billion of the taxpayers' money.
I simply cannot use this as signal to update my priors on the theory given how politically charged this issue is and the new administration.

We cannot ignore the timing or the fact that the release appears to be the direct consequence of the previous director not believing the information he had passed the evidential bar and the new directory believing it does.

It's new signal on the question, which is always nice-to-have, but I'll be digesting it with a huge grain of salt given its pedigree.
As the article observes, “the new analysis … began under the Biden administration.”

The new administration has been in office a week. There is a political incentive to release it now, but they couldn’t have meaningfully created the analysis for political reasons in five days.
They are both there, in the table at the bottom
Fauci has been preemptively pardoned for gain of function research (lying or funding), so the bureaucrats can now pander to Trump. Anyway, we have always been at war with Oceania and China is now our enemy! Next week the NYT will use the term "Wuhan Virus".

This is the first US presidential change of power I'm following consciously. Have there always been such abrupt 180° turns and pledges of loyalty as now? I feel like I'm watching The Godfather.
That is possible, but the evidence doesn't suggest that. E.g. if I am reading the paper correctly, they say that there is evidence of two distinct spillover lineages, which wouldn't be consistent with a simple visit from a lab worker.
> You're conveniently forgetting out the nuance of the MTA. You do recall that the top person in the world for Transit quit because of the bureaucracy there, right?

Byford quit because of Andrew Cuomo, the then-governor, not because of bureaucracy within the MTA. This was widely reported even before his resignation was official, but was confirmed explicitly later on[0].

> To use a transit analogy, Byford fled the MTA because he felt like he had been tied to the tracks while a train driven by Andrew Cuomo cut his legs off, Kramer reported

Which is my point: the governing authorities make political decisions to starve the MTA of funding or cancel capital projects at the last minute, which harms the MTA in the long run and creates many of the problems that people end up blaming the MTA for.

Building Digital Mind: A Personal Knowledge System
Show HN: Listable – A website to organize your apartment search
Hey HN, I’ve been working with my friend and roommate Jacob Strieb (https://github.com/jstrieb/) on a website to make apartment searching less chaotic. When we were looking for an apartment in New York City, we made a Google Sheets spreadsheet and entered all the listings we were considering as rows. Jacob wrote some fancy formulas using IMPORTXML that created columns by pulling useful bits of information from the listing page such as square footage, number of beds/baths, days on market, and even the commute times to our places of work!

Listable turns that spreadsheet into an application anyone can use. It works by scanning the pages of any URLs you paste in to extract attributes about your listing, and organizes everything into a table. (Currently only a limited number of listing websites are supported.) Listable can calculate the commute from each listing to nearby businesses or custom waypoints. You can add fields for things like “commute time to the nearest Trader Joe’s” and it will update for each listing you are looking at.

There are many things we’d love to add, but thought it would be good to get some initial feedback on our prototype. Feel free to make your own list from the homepage (no account required!), or check out our demo list (https://getlistable.app/d/f795c5d4-a523-4c14-904f-e07d668e52...). Thank you for taking a look!

But we know Trump lies, and that people around him change their story and lie for him, and we know he gets rid of personnel who don't 'kiss the ring'... and this comes at the exact instant that he says he's going to start his import tariffs for Chinese goods and needs media support to convince USA-ians that making all goods coming from China now expensive is a good idea...

I mean you're going to need extraordinary evidence to show this is true; but CIA say there's no new evidence and it's a low confidence conclusion.

Probability that it's just Trump continuing to be deceitful and manipulative approaches certainty.
This is a great approach. Just to add to it, you can also use custom elements in lieu of classes, such as:

<my-product>...</my-product>

Any tag with a hyphen is considered a custom element, which is completely valid HTML -- even without defining the element in JS.

This gives you a more descriptive `div`, and then instead of classes like `product-primary`, you can use semantic attributes, like `<my-product primary size="large">`. In combination with CSS nesting, you can get some great looking HTML and CSS with minimal markup/visual noise and no build step.
They did. I think the idea with XML based hypertext was to have links that are star-shaped with potentially multiple sources and potentially multiple targets and the location where the link is defined completely independent from any sources or targets.

One application would have been that people publish link collections and you could e.g read HN with the links I created.

There was a proposed standard for this but its name escapes me for the moment.

Of course all of this never went farther than XHTML where it took a sharp turn into a different direction.

> I do believe that's all one really needs to know about this shift in their thinking. In other words: it's really far from certain.

That's fine. The really problem is all debate on such matters was shut down during pandemic. To the benefit of no one (except for maybe Biden trying to cajole to Chinese into something, or other. Or to protect USG's role in this affair by financing Chinese gain of function research).
I don't say that at all. Money spent on BS still sucks resources, no matter who spends that money. They are not going to make the GPU's from 500 billion dollar banknotes, they will pay people $500B to work on this stuff which means people won't be working on other stuff that can actually produce value worth more than the $500B.

I guess the power plants are salvageable.
This is true in the US legal system. This is far less true in the general social system.
