> No, it's the opposite of that. Third-person pronouns are the ones people use to discuss third persons among themselves. The person who "wants their pronouns used" isn't party to the conversation.

That's also how names work, though. As in, "Are you coming to Billy's barbeque?" when Billy is not in the conversation.

> At no point in human history, in any human language I am aware of, has anyone ever gotten to choose their own third-person pronouns. It's absurd and bizarre.

What's the realistic difference between pronouns and nicknames? Like a "Richard" going by a "Rich", or "Rick"? That's their decision, right? Or someone choosing to go by their middle name rather than their first name?
There’s an artist named Piter Pasma that prominently displayed his code as part of the art. He made a lightweight ray tracing algorithm that uses SDFs to draw anything from any perspective. His ray tracing algorithm is only like 400 characters or something so he released it alongside the art.

Others have pointed out the strategy allows for picking the best year to pay taxes and therefore avoiding a lot of taxes. I'd add to that argument that the current administration is likely to create exceptionally favorable policies for Tesla specifically so they really should burn every trick now since they are about to get a whole new bag of them. I can just see it now, legislation built for Tesla. Of course it will be named something like Save The Children Clean Air Tax Credit Act but it will apply to Tesla almost exclusively as a way to plow money towards loyalist.
The inflationary effect is least pronounced at the source. For moderate expansion rates they generally win.

Yes, they go by many names but that is their historic name, The Fabian Society. Today you might call them globalists.

Sarcasm isn't really appropriate or warranted.

If you've read and researched their work, both back then and today, you know they support and promote a collapse to non-market socialism, albeit the form of that collapse is indirect and only recognized once you resolve the contradictions in their ambiguous material.

As system's go that form of socialism inevitably fails in unpredictable and chaotic ways, starting with shortage, slavery, famine, then death.

So in many respects, it should be called a dark cabal since at the rational conclusion of their efforts it will be a death cult. The people involved certainly don't seem to believe that is a possible outcome, but neither do delusional terrorists when they blow themselves up believing they'll awaken in paradise.

Blindness to the consequences of your actions and reality is a characteristic of truly evil people.

The mechanism for the fall, money printing, currency debasement, or specifically currency debauchery, as Keynes quoting Lenin said in April 1919.
Political legitimacy isn't static, but it is primarily demarcated by hard numbers in our system. And going by the hard numbers - the ones actually referenced in binding documents - the Republican Party currently has one of the weakest grasps on power of any ruling party in our country's modern history. A rational administration would appreciate that fact and govern accordingly.
I can't read the article, so I don't really know what they are arguing for there. The headline sounds a bit click-baity, so I don't want to guess what the content is.

But looking from a sex standpoint blind auditions are responsible for a sweeping change in the ratio of men and women in professional orchestras (though men still outnumber women %60 to %40, but that is from a near %100 a while ago). This is absolutely a case to look at to demonstrate what unconscious biases are, and a wonderfully effective way of fighting it in one specific place.
Settling cases even when its clear you are going to win is actually a thing that happens more often than you would think. Sometimes the settlement is cheaper than paying lawyers in a drawn out trial. Not to mention the PR cost.

I'm guessing it falls into some category of government agencies hiring contractors which probably happens all the time. If this is a problem then it follows that all the other instances of government hiring people who nobody voted for would also be a problem... which is why we should all want less of it, and that's supposedly what Doge is attempting to do.
Nice work on the tests, TIL of alpine-virt, did not know that you could speed up boot that much by just disabling unused kernel modules/drivers. And apparantly you can just ignore half the CPU, use only the BIG cores and suffer little in terms of performance.

Will never be tired seeing how far Termux users can push low-end hardware. That phone is literally $30 USD and you all will be out there running QEMU and GPU accelerated X11 on it.

My point was that a prompt that simple could be held and executed very well by sonnet, but all other models (especially reasoning models) crash and burn.

Multiplexing onto a single thread is sufficient to observe and record concurrency errors. If that is not sufficient, then I am assuming you want to observe and record errors caused by true parallelism. If so, then you need a full memory trace. That restricts you to either hardware that supports full memory trace connected to a hardware trace probe or instrumented software full memory trace.

The former basically only exists for embedded boards and the latter does not exist (at say less than a 10x slowdown) for Linux or any other common desktop operating system as far as I am aware.
Why and how are these things related? I acknowledge you’re making an observation and not an argument.

I think a lot of the modern criticism towards E.T. the game comes from AVGN who was often using it in his skits as a game that shall not be named. But when he finally reviewed the game part of the AVGN movie, he admits that the game isn't that bad for its time and that it's similar to Indiana Jones game which was awesome for the time it was released.
I guess that explains why Elon is so poor and the company is valued at practically nothing compare to all other automakers.
Every car that is sold retires an old one. And the one it retires will be the least valuable.

This happens becauase the person who buys a new car sells their old one to someone else, who sells their old one to someone else, and so on down the chain.

The oldest cars from America go to other cheaper markets replacing the cars in use there.

> Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.

That's for mass production of useful tools. For decades, it's been easy to produce music, write a book, and draw with digital means. The actual truth is that people don't want to invest the time to learn how. Now they can pose as if they've done so, but the result never survives close inspection.
But that's the thing, if I take my entire salary and lose it gambling I still owe the government taxes.

If instead I have a corporation handle everything then I can come up with (relatively simple) systems so that I don't pay taxes and the corporation doesn't pay taxes either.

>Self expression is not only inherent in art, it’s essential.

That idea is only about 200 years old and strongly Western. The vast majority of cultures saw no difference between "art" and craft, regarding pictures and sculptures as simply decorative objects, of the same basic cultural standing as pottery or textiles. Our understanding of "art" was fundamentally transformed by the development of photography and mass-manufacturing.

Anyone with a glib answer to questions about the cultural meaning of AI-generated art really needs to familiarise themselves with the thinking of William Morris and Yanagi Sōetsu, because this isn't the first time we've had this argument.

You would only be taxed based on your land use so yes. Labor and Capital would not be taxed only Land.
Valuation != profits. Tesla's profits do not explain Musk's wealth, people have been pointing out for years that the valuations of companies like Tesla make little sense. There was a long stretch of many years where they were bleeding red ink like crazy with not much to show for it.

The tax system works on accounting reality, not the opinions of stock traders.
I have zero interest in a tool that turns a text description into an image, video or song. However, I would pay serious money for a generative AI tool that worked differently. I make visuals and music because I love the process of realizing and refining my ideas into end results I like. My challenge is the shortcomings in my mechanical drawing skills or music keyboard fingering skills. Things like maintaining correct proportions across an object. Or nailing the triplet note syncopated timing. Things that take months of iterative practice to reliably do.

I need a tool that takes granular inputs during my creation process and collaborates interactively with me to extend or perfect them. Or suggest other options for that one granular element based on my initial attempts. Not finished results, just the next step in the process. And give it to me as an individual stroke, a masked layer or a MIDI track I can then continue to modify and remix manually.

Can I really be the only person who desperately wants this?

On the other hand the president has basically medical staff on standby all the time just for them with the quickest humanly possible access to any and every medical advancement in existence.

And keeping old people limping along for as long as possible is one thing US medical care is great at, so long as they can pay for it. If it takes $1,000,000 per week to keep them alive, as long as the check clears they will move heaven and earth to keep them going, and the president effectively has infinite medical care credit through the state.

I'll repeat my favorite quote about it (paraphrased and read it here first but don't recall the attribution): AI can copy a song, tell me a joke, predict what I buy, but I still have to do my own dishes.

If AI (or any tech) could clean, do dishes, or cook (which is not a chore for many, I acknowledge that) it could potentially bring families together and improve the quality of peoples lives.

Instead they are introducing it as a tool to replace jobs, think for us, and mistrust each other ("you sound like an AI bot!/you just copied that from chatgpt! You didn't draw that! How do I know you're real?"

I don't know if they really thought through to an endgame, honestly. How much decimation can you inflict on the economy before the snake eats its own tail?

Unfortunately, accounting is full of concepts like this.

Ideas which conceptually make accounting “better reflect” the real word, but in reality add a lot of complexity for very little benefit. Getting rid of accrual accounting and simply allowing full expensing of asset purchases with losses to carry over to the next tax period would save everyone a lot of headaches, for a negligible reduction in government tax revenue.

It would also make a lot of accountants redundant, which is probably the main reason they oppose streamlining accounting practices.
If it's a context issue, it's an issue with how cursor itself sends the context to these reasoning LLMs.

Context alone shouldn't be the reason that sonnet succeeds consistently, but others (some which have even bigger context windows) fail.

Cursor is also very user-unfriendly in providing alternative models to use in composer (agent). There's a heavy reliance on Anthrophic for cursor.

Try using Gemini thinking with Cursor. It barely works. Cmd-k outputs the thinking into the code. Its unusable in chat because the formatting sucks.

Is there some relationship between Cursor and Anthropic, i wonder. Plenty of other platforms seem very eager to give users model flexibility, but Cursor seems to be lacking.

I could be wrong, just an observation.
>The president is not a constitutional monarch.

The president has carte blanche to create laws through executive order, nullifying the legislative branch.

The president has carte blanche to pardon Federal crimes, nullifying the judicial branch.

The president has sole command of the military. Going through Congress is a formality at best. If he says we're at war with Greenland tomorrow, we're at war with Greenland tomorrow.

And per SCOTUS, nothing the president does while in office in their official duties can be prosecuted as a crime.

And none of that "balance of powers" stuff means anything when party loyalty and loyalty to one person transcends the boundaries of office.

The president not be a monarch in theory, but in practice power has been accumulating in the executive branch for decades. The American people fundamentally fear and mistrust government, but they worship celebrities. They want to be ruled, if not by a king, by a CEO in chief.
Anybody got statistics on air crashes in the US so we can see if the anomaly is only in the attention the crashes receive and not the frequency at which they are happening?
I really feel this statement. I'm being forced out of a company that is struggling to pay my salary, after almost 18 years. This is a career where I taught myself and continued (and continue) to improve. I know that my best skill is the ability to solve unique problems, and that's mostly been from needing to complete a project or the business loses their time and money. For most of my career, I have been the sole developer, and impostor syndrome is real and haunting. Having HN, and following various news and blog sources, I think I am in a good place with my knowledge. It's just transferring to another company after almost two decades that is the scary part.

Having a senior position, but still very much wanting to be involved in coding and architecture, makes me nervous that I won't be able to keep my same lifestyle without going into full-time management. Problem solving is often tossed to the side for a "good enough" answer. I understand that as a business need, but when things start to get really complicated, pulling in an existing library or solution is often not possible.
The FAA administrator left his post after Musk asked him to, on January 20. The FAA had no administrator until Trump appointed one, only after the plane and helicopter crashed into the Potomac. The lack of leadership at the FAA could not have helped the situation, even if it was not a direct cause of it.

This is not even remotely what the memo said. The thesis of the memo is that not every gender disparity is due to bias or discrimination, and that directives to achieve equitable outcomes run a real risk of causing discrimination.

> Air traffic controllers were emailed by the Trump administration urging them to quit their jobs and take mass “buyouts” just 24 hours after the D.C. plane crash. They were among hundreds of thousands of federal workers sent the email at 8.30 p.m. Thursday to push the extraordinary offer by Trump’s aides to get civil servants to quit en masse. The email dropped almost exactly 24 hours after an Army helicopter crashed into an American Airlines jet as it came into land at Reagan National Airport, killing 67 people. Just one air traffic controller was doing the work of two controllers at the time, early reports have suggested.
