The US Constitution protects the people from excessive acts of government, not the other way around. It says nothing about "enforcement mechanisms" which, should any actually be enacted by the legislature or ordered by the executive, are subject to constitutional challenge by the people before the judiciary (unless rendered moot by a superseding legislative act or executive order).

Our constitutional republic is not merely "just blots of ink on paper" but rather alive and well.
ollama was good initially in that it made LLMs more accessible for non-technical people while everyone was figuring things out.

Lately they seem to be contributing mostly confusion to the conversation.

The #1 model the entire world is talking about is literally mislabeled their side. There is no such thing as R1-1.5b. Quantization without telling users also confuses noobs as to what is possible. Setting up an api different from the thing they're wrapping adds chaos. And claiming each feature added llama.cpp as something "ollama now supports" is exceedingly questionable especially when combined with the very sparse acknowledgement that it's a wrapper at all.

Whole thing just doesn't have good vibes
That is funny, Python gets as clever as C++ and Common Lisp, those unaware of it aren't really reading Python docs.
That site aims for it, but the front page goes back a month or more. That's not a level of detail or activity that will compel people to go there regularly?

I get the desire to have quality users and posts, but the whole invite system feels like an unnecessary gate.

I am not a gamedev professional but I dabble as a hobbyist and am interested and would love to participate on that site but I don't know anyone on the site to get invited, and I'm certainly not going to beg publicly for an invite (which seems to be how their system works).
This is a naive, context-free misunderstanding of the present moment based on supposedly intuitive truisms. The Republican party is Trump's party and has been for years now. Pretending there is that much variation that matters is ridiculous and can be remedied by reading any piece of news from the last few years.

FDR forced people to give up all their gold assets at a fixed rate, under threat of imprisonment for a decade. He then proceeded to nearly double the declared exhange rate up once the government had confiscated everybody's gold.

All done by executive order. Makes basically all modern EOs look pretty innocuous by comparison.

That said I actually agree and would love to see a sharp reduction in executive power, especially as it comes to using the military. If we're going to go bombing places, that should require a declaration of war from Congress. And 'emergency' powers should not be enabled for decades on end.

Unfortunately that proposal seems to be kinda dead.

React is a fundamentally flawed framework because of the lack of this feature. It inverts the responsibility of any non-primitive prop by putting the burden on the parent element instead of the child to decide when to rerender things. So elements are no longer self-contained if they receive any non-primitive values (besides react elements).

The React compiler auto-memoization that facebook is pushing also addresses this issue through build-time magic. I not fond of this approach.

As a candidate, I would drop out of the interview process if I knew this was being used. This level of mistrust doesn't bode well for my future employer. As an employer, I don't care if someone cheats. In the context of programming and software engineering, I want to know that they explain the solution to the problem well and thoughtfully answer my questions. At the end of the day, we all cheat on the job!
I’m open to that, but what context do you think is appropriate and how would you measure it for an unbiased metric?
> I firmly believe that All Men Are Created Equal.

That’s a nice sentiment if you ignore the fact that not all races have historically been treated equally. We may all be running the same rat race together, but a few of us were allowed to leave the starting line early.
It's the first time I'm seeing accessibility put under the same umbrella as DEI. Is "DEIA" in the executive order, or is NSF overreacting, or... is being disabled and wanting to have some quality of life "woke" now?
Neither am I. Doesn't mean HN works as a go to for game development information. Or for web development. Or for embedded development.

I hope we can still hold discussions on "dirty" subjects in a dispassionate and objective way. Sadly, I see a lot of those typical short snarky comments now common in other online spaces.

Also, this IS an important discussion, for it's creating social transformation that might hinder our species' ability to solve the difficult challenges ahead.
The second point is solved with the 3rd point I think. In your case you need to create a user channel

From the FAQ:

> Ahey.io has two types of channels:

> Regular channels: Any authenticated user can publish to these channels.

> User channels: These channels are in the format @username, and only the user who created the user account can publish to it.
> Anyhow it had nothing to do with the merit of the project or the team which were obviously already being evaluated

Oh thats an interesting point to make. Were you part of these things? I really like unbiased merit based societies, so I was wondering what your experience was.
Also, that link stops with Obama and that leaves out two whole administrations that would be pretty pertinent data in this discussion. Nearly a decade of data. It looks like Trump's first term had 220 and Biden had 162. It would be interesting to see the data classified the way you described and then broken down by party over time. The actual policymaking via EO by each party over the last 50 years would be more elucidating than the straight numbers for sure.
Is there VST/AU support? I didn't see it mentioned.
There's a story here that I would love to hear.
> privilege

You live in a city the Nazis are going to bomb. Your family and your home is almost certainly going to be blasted to smithereens. The government has evacuated you - unaccompanied - to some strangers, and it doesn't care who these strangers are, so long as they volunteer to put you up.

https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-evacuated-children-of-the...

That is not privilege. Privilege is being able to sit behind a computer screen and face no real threats to your life. (Part of what made 9/11 so tragic for Americans, beyond the indiscriminate killing of thousands of innocent people, is the Americans thought they were untouchable until that point. It ripped a hole in their national psyche and they've never really recovered)

Similar evacuations and displacement are happening around the world. There are still millions of Syrians living in temporary camps in Turkey and Lebanon, for years. There are over 6 million Ukranians displaced within Ukraine, and millions living in Poland and other countries -- where they are at the mercy of those who offer them a home: https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2022/not-a-single-safe-pla...

Do you think of this as privilege ? How many times have you been bombed out of your home?

You make good points, thanks for sharing. May I also add onto your speculation by saying that Brexit was a symptom of bad governance in general, and the energy crisis is a symptom too.
This could do with some real-world application examples so I can understand where you might want to apply it.

It's called "Baumol's cost disease".

Rising wages due to higher productivity are great for wage earners. Productivity growth isn't uniform though. A 2025 automated factory produces much more goods per worker than a 1925 factory. A 2025 barber doesn't cut hair much faster than a 1925 barber though. But wages tend to rise for the entire economy.

So as productivity increases, labor for any sector that doesn't scale is going to become relatively more expensive. Ski resort labor doesn't scale. It's a first world problem.
It’s a preference that’s somewhat hardcoded in our brain, kind of like preferring to seek friendships, achieve goals, etc.

What, if you learn about something at school it is automatically true? The same criticism applies there too. They were calling things like the appendix vestigial when it obviously isn't. People made a big deal about how it doesn't do anything and then it turns out it does something. Who'd have guessed. The so-called vestigial organs probably all have uses. I'd have a much easier time believing most of them do than none of them. Otherwise evolution would have done a much better job of weeding them out.

> The Republican party controls both houses and the presidency, having already stacked the supreme court, so they get to do whatever they want and there is no balance of powers.

- No, the supreme court is the same size it's always been.

- No, members of congress don't always vote the party line (although this has consistently gotten worse over time)

- No, that's not what "balance of powers" means.

That's not how I read it at all.. It's the "HN for..." part that is the sense of grandeur.. Not the idea of self-hosting vs. using Reddit or Discord.

HN has been around for 15 years, it has earned its place as a quality community through time and much effort (i.e. moderation).

So to call yourself "HN for..." as a brand new thing is like opening up a brand new coffee shop in your town and saying "we're the next Starbucks"...

"Stable coins" tethered to fiat are an enigma --- like a duck out of water. Their existence is an open admission of what everyone knows --- that crypto is not functioning currency.

They offer no protection from inflation in the underlying fiat while incurring high transaction fees and opaque accountability and security.
>It seems to in my house - possibly the wifi signal is not strong enough where I leave my phone and it is constantly searching

Sounds like you should move your AP? There's no way that communicating with an AP tens of feet away is going to require less power than communicating with a tower hundreds of feet away.

>I also find that on wifi data, apps constantly update and sync themselves - they don't do this on metered network data.

You can set wifi connections to "metered" on both android and ios. It doesn't allow you to cut off data entirely (like you can on cellular data), but should have similar effects to being on cellular.

One of the principles of Christianity, is understanding things. That requires context. Most preachers and priests will attempt to teach the underlying frameworks that they use (hermaneutics), and this absolutely fits with that. The Vatican has published many, many, many treatises on the idea that a quote should never stand on its own, but be seen through the context of the culture and time where it was produced.

> The problem of interpretation is fundamental to mankind from the beginning. As men, we try to understand the world and ourselves. Now, when faced with the question of truth and reality, we never begin at an absolute beginning, a zero point. The real in question meets us in preexisting interpretations, in the system of symbols of a given culture, and, most of all, in language.

> Human understanding then is always in symbiosis with human community. Therefore, interpretation must make its own of, and understand, the witness of tradition already existing.

https://www.boldin.com/ assists in such tax planning, and there is a spreadsheet at https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Retiree_Portfolio_Model.

'Many Americans think less is more when it comes to income taxes. For them, owing as little as possible means they’ve beaten Uncle Sam.

But many times these filers have it backward. Instead, they should focus on when more can be less for their taxes.

Often, there’s just no way of reducing your taxes by getting into a lower tax bracket. When that’s the case, it sometimes makes sense to use the “headroom” you have in your existing top bracket.

The idea is to strategically accelerate income—if you can afford to pay some more taxes today—so you can reduce overall taxes. With tax-filing season here, now is a good time to think about such moves.

“The point is not just minimizing taxes today, but over your lifetime,” says Eric Bronnenkant, who is head of tax at Edelman Financial Engines.

o be sure, the idea of accelerating income violates the first rule of traditional tax planning, which is to defer taxes whenever possible. But there are reasons to rethink this rule now.

A major one is the growth of tax-favored retirement plans like traditional 401(k)s and IRAs as defined-benefit pensions have waned. These accounts require minimum withdrawals beginning at age 73 that start at about 4% and then rise.

When that happens, they shower recipients with taxable income they can’t avoid.

The payouts are taxed at ordinary income rates like wages, and if owners don’t drain the accounts, many heirs (other than spouses) will have to within 10 years. While surviving spouses can avoid the 10-year rule, their tax rates could rise because they’re no longer filing a joint return.'
Here's a take that I came across which I'd like your views on if possible:

When the Civil Right Act and Americans with Disabilities Act were created, people asked the government to enforces these acts. Whatever you think of merits of DEI, the government decided to create DEI in order to enforce the Civil Rights Act and Americans with Disabilities act.

The problem is because they decided that DEI would be the mechanism to do this with, once DEI is rescinded the question is: If you're not going to enforce the Civil Right Act and Americans with Disabilities Act through DEI, which mechanism do you plan to use to enforce them? According to this take, once DEI is rescinded there is no mechanism to enforce the Civil Right Act and Americans with Disabilities Act anymore.

I'm pretty sure that most leftwing and rightwing people will agree that out of 3 millions government workers it's not entirely unlikely that there would be some some valid cases of discrimination against minorities and those with disabilities. The claim is that, whether DEI sucks or not, there is no avenue to contest racism and discrimination in government hiring anymore.
Welcome to open source.
Is there a more detailed explanation of the rules?

Is it possible to show the number of the rule in binary (or octal?) so it's easier to parse?

I'd be a bit wary of using energy use that directly as indicator. Yes, it is a broad measure of industrialization, however:

Suppose a country goes on a broad national campaign to insulate drafty houses. That drops energy use, but has no corresponding drop in living standard.

i.e. there is some sort of measure/factor for efficient application of energy needed for it to really be meaningful
I can twitch my left ear independently from my right. But not the right one independently. I'm sure it means something. Both at the same time is easy.
I dunno if anyone really doubted HM, functional programming could work. I've written a bit of OCaml and apart from the bad syntax (code very easily becomes a word soup) it's not especially different to other programming languages, just more convenient sometimes.

I think it's purity that actually is a big difference, but OCaml isn't pure.
I totally agree with this. I wanted to make it really easy for non-technical users with an app that hid all the complexities. I basically just wanted to embed the engine without making users open their terminal, let alone make them configure. I started with llama.cpp amd almost gave up on the idea before I stumbled upon Ollama, which made the app happen[1]

There are many flaws in Ollama but it makes many things much easier esp. if you don’t want to bother building and configuring. They do take a long time to merge any PRs though. One of my PRs has been waiting for 8 months and there was this another PR about KV cache quantization that took them 6 months to merge.

The number of EOs is a poor measure of the extent of executive power. There are many other ways to concentrate executive power; for example OMB (part of the Executive Office of the President) issues “M-memos” (“M” for “management”) to the heads of all departments, instructing them on how to implement EOs, laws, and White House priorities.

There is a consensus among researchers of the workings of the US government and the legal context thereof that, since FDR and especially since Reagan, that the “imperial presidency” has been gaining ground.
