I always found it interesting that a linux distribution is defined¹ as a package manager and a collection of packages.

I wonder if this means the success of a distribution depends more heavily on the package manager than people realize.

If you mean that trade war, what is here to discuss? We (Canada) just got fucked royally by our "best" ally and trading partner. There is not much we can do in return tariff wise without causing even greater harm for ourselves. I think our demented government should just learn the lesson, and develop our own independent trade and foreign policies. There is a whole world out there. Just stop bending over.

> The problem here is that anyone in charge can decide what they believe is fact and make very real, very impactful changes that they force on everyone else.

Sure, such is the nature of power. Thus has it always been.

What's novel is not that people in charge can broadcast their favored view of facts, but that anyone can broadcast their favored view of facts, which has to led to the current demoralization crisis: in the presence of conflicting authorities, no one believes any facts anymore.

Of course, some of the "facts" being broadcast are not, in fact, facts. The problem is that the flood of misinformation is so large, the force of echo chambers so strong, and the cynicism of consumers so great, that it is infeasible to produce persuasive evidence sufficient to make the truth more appealing than lies.

Hauwei before that, don't forget electric cars too. The US spent decades of propaganda on free markets and competition, but won't tolerate either.
You don't have to adopt the ideas of every fringe or contrarian viewpoint you come across to be a freethinker; you simply have to be willing to consider and evaluate those views with the same level of rigor you give to mainstream views. Most people who do that will probably adopt a handful of fringe beliefs but, for the most part, retain a very large number of conventional beliefs too. Julia Galef is kind of an archetypal rationalist/free thinker and she has spoken about the merits of traditional ideas from within a rationalist framework.

>Hacker News might try to ignore politics, but politics isn't ignoring tech.

Great! Maybe folks could discuss that in any of the hundreds of other social forums all over the internet? One of the absolute worst things to have happened as traditional forums and such have gone away and been replaced with "feeds" and "feeding trough" front pages is that every single place seems to eventually devolve into a death spiral of US Team Sports Politics. Does anyone really believe that the relative dearth of political discussion on HN is actually preventing anyone interested in that discussion from finding it? Or keeping anyone interested in being informed on the relevant issues from being so informed? Maybe it's possible to have places in your life where you talk to other people and don't have to talk about politics.

The human mind is quite malleable. You can make yourself mentally ill, or be made mentally ill by the people around you. This fact seems to be under-acknowledged because there is a slippery slope to blaming the victims.

But just because you might have gotten yourself into something that doesn't mean you can get yourself out of it.

I'm skeptical of people who think they wouldn't be vulnerable. But even if some are not, -- some are, and you can start with the seeds of a little crazy and heal it through grounded thinking and healthy practices, or you can blow it wide open with crazed thinking, casual psychedelic use, and abusive cult practices.

I tried this with a random commit from one of my projects: https://github.com/masto/LED-Marquee/commit/775d48fc0dd969de.... You can read my human-crafted message there. By comparison, what follows is the one that Gemini came up with which is A: useless, and B: wrong. I don't want to be mean, but I would put this up there as almost the perfect example of what generative AI should never be used for. It cannot read your mind, and the commit description is where you say what the intention of the change is, not summarize what it contains.

Fix: Remove platformio.ini from .gitignore and rename platformio.ini.dist

This commit removes platformio.ini from the .gitignore file and renames
platformio.ini.dist to platformio.ini. This allows the project's PlatformIO
configuration to be tracked by Git and ensures consistent build settings across
development environments. It also adds comments explaining how to configure OTA
updates and override settings with a separate marquee.ini file.
It was reported because of the prior incident in DC. Also this crash was more newsworthy because it was damaging to ground structures and there were bystanders on the ground who were injured.
That depends on what's being measured, most especially by way of survivor bias.

If the only people whose time-on-site is measured are those who 1) don't blacklist the site, 2) don't disable JS, and 3) don't immediately leave and never return, then annoyances may well give apparent measurement of longer time-on-site as the remaining readership is curated to those who will tolerate (or have no alternative to) such bullshit.

Web metrics are very poorly understood even now. YouTube's infamous experiment where latency improvements degraded apparent site performance ... because people with exceedingly marginal connections could now actually use the site if even very poorly.

Well, the United States has a strategic cheese reserve and distributes free government cheese to welfare recipients and the elderly because the industry can't be bothered to match supply with demand.

There's also the gigantic US corn subsidy that's propped up by forced use of corn derived ethanol additives mandated in gasoline, as well as excessive use of extremely unhealthy high fructose corn syrup because of the resulting artificially low price of corn products.

Both of those programs far exceed the scale of Canada's dairy quotas. Additionally, the dairy quoatas in Canada are enforced on Canadian producers as well to prevent the never-ending boom-bust cycles seen in the US dairy market.

Ban on AI Technology Trade

> Life is messy and politicians attempt to smooth that over with grandiose, but hollow, visions for the future and data points taken out of context to paint a picture.

Your point is: politicians lie. Of course they do. They always have.

What's new in our era is not the lying, but the utter contempt for facts. A study in contrasts:

* A "traditional politician" will lie. If they are caught, with plain evidence that contradicts their claim, they will evade, or reframe, or apologize, or blame someone else.

* A "Trumpian politician" will lie. If he is caught, with plan evidence that contradicts their claim, he will flatly oppose the facts. He'll invoke a vague conspiracy of evildoers who concocted the alleged facts. People believe him because he is charismatic and he talks like a regular person. He gaslights: believe me, he says, not your common sense and lyin' eyes.

So we're in a conundrum where many people have lost their ability to believe in facts, and instead believe a con-man. The problem is not just dishonesty, it is demoralization (in the psychological warfare sense of the word[1]).

EDIT: I read somewhere that Trump's superpower is lack of shame. A weaker politician concedes to facts out of respect for his audience: to deny a plain truth would be embarrassing.

I own my own company and am expanding my local reach by carving out a new niche with the use of AI. Many local doctors are facing staffing shortages, and I’m working to help alleviate some of their challenges by creating a custom AI agent tailored to their specific practices. This AI agent can handle the majority of their routine phone calls and manage appointment bookings for new patients.

I’m using VAPI for voice capabilities and training the LLM with practice-specific details. Interaction details are then forwarded to an n8n cluster for processing patient-related metadata and coordinating appointment confirmations between the practice management system and the patient, either via email or SMS.
There's also the OPM email thing.

There are two forces fighting with each other: Many protons repel each other with their positve electric charge. But they also attract each other with their strong force. It's complicated but if you simplify you could say too large nuclei tend not to hold together.

If you add electric neutral neutrons you have more strong force but the electrical repulsion doesn't increase. So if you have more neutrons, you might have larger nuclei.

They measured what happens if some element's isotope has too few neutrons. They were surprised about the extremely short half-times. From that they estimated on the opposite side (again simplifying here!) that very large nuclei with a lot of neutrons could be stabler than known up to today.

So: on one side (few neutrons) extremely unstable, so on the other side (more neutrons) stabler than expected?

That's what I understood from the article. I have no idea.

Back in 2019, Borhanian was arrested and charged with felony child endangerment and false imprisonment in a protest against a rationalist group.[2]

The US has never allowed unfettered foreign competition in its domestic market, and neither do most other nations (including, very notably, China).

The US has always done what every other nation seeks to do, which is to try to obtain favorable trade terms for exports while restricting imports that would harm domestic business.

This particular bill is idiotic, likely because it was spawned by an idiot. But the general concept of protecting domestic enterprises from foreign competition who are not subject to the same rules has always been part of trade policy.
> (a) PROHIBITION ON IMPORTATION On and after the date that is 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the importation into the United States of artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence technology or intellectual property developed or produced in the People’s Republic of China is prohibited.

> (b) PROHIBITION ON EXPORT.—On and after the date that is 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of artificial intelligence or generative artificial intelligence technology or intellectual property to or within the People’s Republic of China is prohibited.

This seems worded significantly more broadly than just artificial intelligence; it covers any "intellectual property" at all? Couldn't this prohibit, for example, Apple's ability to sell the iPhone or distribute iOS in China?

I like this idea, but doubt it works. People naturally coalesce around ideas. That cohesion is then call a political party. The only way to get rid of parties is to get rid of freedom of organization.
TikTok feels pretty clear. China doesn't allow any western internet platforms to operate in the country. Why should the world allow a Chinese social media platform?

This feels like a pretty non-partisan issue.
As the other commenter said, R1 required very standard RLHF techniques too.

The rationalist movement, if it is anything, is a movement defined by the desire of its members to perceive the world accurately and without bias. In that sense, using a variety of different tools from different academic and intellectual disciplines (philosophy, economics, mathematics, etc) should be expected. I don't think any of the major rationalist figures (Yudkowsky, Julia Galef, Zvi Mowshowitz) would claim any credit for developing these ideas; they would simply say they've used and helped popularize a suite of tools for making good decisions.
The silent downvotes for my comment are simply fascinating.

Also anything with Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale, who was Claudia the KGB handler who liked playing PacMan in The Americans, Mags Bennett the ruthless head of the marijuana and moonshine smuggling clan in Justified, a fictionalized (or was it???) version of herself "Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale" in Bojack Horseman, records supervisor Camilla Figg in Dexter, and Ranger Liz in Cocaine Bear ("I'm sorry.
