In the Bay Area we had the statues of Ulysses Grant [1], Francis Key [2], and Junipero Serra [3] removed. This isn't even the full list of all the monuments that were labeled "racist" or "oppressive". All was done a couple of years ago.

Are these the traitors you're talking about?

Even if people couldn't dig up anything against the person, the monument could simply be linked to the "wrong part of our history" and be removed, like the Thomas Fallon's statue in San Jose [4]

The United States will feel the pain immediately because Trump has increased the price of imports. The question is whether there is anything gained.
It does have one. It takes a few seconds to appear though.
Maybe. It needs to be the right data, and interpreted correctly. More of the wrong data isn't particularly helpful.

I think what I'm arguing is that just having data isn't good enough, and it's dangerous to accept data at face value. It needs to be the right data, and interpreted correctly.
>Most of congress has just bent over and let him, seemingly.

bent over is right. that is the height of their calibre.
After disabling Apple Intelligence I'm no longer able to use CarPlay with a message saying Siri needs to be enabled. It doesn't appear Siri is available independent of Apple Intelligence, is that correct? Any way to enable Apple Intelligence exclusively for CarPlay?
Hey, it's highly possible you're much more informed about this than I am. From what I've seen the past few days though, it appears as if #lon & co are getting more and more access to more and more critical data, offices and "gov't infrastructre" WHILE booting out those that are currently in control of those resources.

I don't know that "suing the administration" is really gonna do much. Not least of all because of what a slow process that is, even more so relative to the speed at which the admin is making these moves. Not saying they SHOULDN'T or it's not a lever that should be pulled but... IDK, I'm really trying myself to find the line between hyperbolic overreaction and feeling like I'm just burying my head in the sand to what's happening.
The kernel works and so far no-one has been motivated enough to update it. The Rocknix projects offers an up-to-date kernel for a whole bunch devices including the 30 USD R36S which offers amazing value for the money (but does require an USB WiFi adapter for networking).
Americans are desperate. May not be felt among the HN crowd, but standards of living in the US have been declining consistently for a long time [1]. Remember that Trump was not re-elected to a second term initially specifically because he failed to deliver on his promise of "MAGA". He instead did a Jeb Bush presidency, complete with Wall Street (Mnuchin) and the CIA (Pompeo) running the country exactly as would have occurred had Bush won. So Americans tried Biden, in the hopes of a return to Obama era America. This obviously didn't happen, as standard of living continued to decline. So they tried Trump again, in sheer desperation.

I don't see a positive future for the US, as it is so clearly a declining empire, exhibiting every textbook symptom. The startup/tech crowd loves talking about cheap phones and "services", but the reality is bleak outside of this narrow tech bubble.

The first line (or atleast, the first 80 characters) should be a quick summary - so you can quickly browse via git blame.

But the actual commit message should consist of History/Motivation/Context - so that someone who's going through the blame can understand why a certain change was made, and what the context was.

> But at that mechanistic level, so does the President. He isn’t personally escorting her out of the office.

Fair enough, I strongly hope a good number of folks within the government show a backbone and resist unlawful or abusive orders however they can. Unfortunately those same people can easily be fired and replaced with somebody appropriately loyal (as is already happening). So, unfortunately, I'm not terribly optimistic.

Popular backlash seems to be fairly effective so far at least, so there is some hope. (For example the federal funding freeze which ended almost immediately after a flurry of confusion and outrage. Allegedly ended, anyway - it's not exactly clear in reality.)
It's just the cost of doing business. Sam Altman isn't Trump's underboss. In this scenario that would be David Sacks or Elon Musk or something.

Congress actually has it's own (small) police force, the sergeant at arms.

It's a power they basically never use, but they can technically arrest someone for not complying with a congressional order/subpoena.

But then if they did decide to arrest Trump or others for compliance that'd pit the Sargent at arms directly against the secret services.

If I want my history, motivation and context to be ephemeral I put it in a commit message.

It's cheap. And its free tier is really large.

And after that stops applying, you have spent a huge amount of work managing your software around their idiosyncrasies. So doing the same for another supplier looks like a huge (probably unsurmountable) task.

I've never really mentioned it elsewhere, but the last time I even considered doing something with oracle was I believe when they released the free-tier arm instance and I was just going to compile some of my projects to arm to see if they worked well.

Well since I'm not in the business of trusting a lot of corporations I decided to use a privacy.com virtual card that only had a one time transaction and would close afterwards. Well after signing up and starting the instance and doing some quick tests. I ended up coming back to it a bit later and found out the account was just out right terminated. After a while of going through support and looking around at what logs I could get, turns out they tried to do a $0.01 charge on the card and since it failed marked the card as stolen (or something similar.) And even with a long conversation with support they told me there was literally nothing that could be done, not even with proof of identification or anything. Even making a new account didn't work since something was matching and they were rejecting me making a new account (don't know if it was address, ip or my name.)

At this point I share the opinion that others here are sharing, no matter the reason never work with oracle. I'm just lucky they made the decision for me and I never even have to consider the choice again.

Pulling one example, but it applies to all of them in different ways:

“We” decided the stock price and “our” equity was more important than, for instance, having a job that revolved around giving teen girls depression more efficiently let alone destroying the country.

A common metric for how much actual content has changed is the Jaccard Index. Even for large numbers of datasets that are too large to fit in memory it can be approximated with various forms of MinHash algorithms. Some write up here: https://blog.nelhage.com/post/fuzzy-dedup/

Wow. I thought I remembered something like that but I thought it sounded too extreme and wouldn't be easily supportable, so I left it out of my other comment. So this test:

1) was designed to statistically select for members of favored identity groups and against members of disfavored identity groups, and not in any way to measure ATC job aptitude, resulting in highly-scored questions like "The high school subject in which I received my lowest grades was" where the only correct answer was "Science", and failing the test disqualified you permanently

and

2) current FAA employees distributed the exact answer key to outside racial identity organizations to give to their members
Yes. The statute literally leads with "The president may remove the Inspectors General" (quoting/closely paraphrasing from memory). The notification requirement is in addition to this but there's no language which says that the removal power is conditioned on obeying the notification requirement. So Trump legally removed the IGs, and then as a side-effect broke the law by failing to notify Congress.

There's a problem with how the law is written though... It supposedly required Trump to notify Congress before he was even President, but its requirements also only apply to the President. Arguably the law was impossible to follow as written, and I gather that's not even the strongest constitutional problem with the law as written. What we have here is a failure of Congress, and Trump exploiting it.

The Dickey amendment in 1996 made it extremely difficult to study gun violence at the federal level. That only started to change in 2013 and then was finally fixed in 2019.

This is one issue where there is no pendulum. The pro-gun lobby has owned censorship of gun research for a generation and is likely to keep it from being an active and honest research area.
It's all good! We're were mostly joking there I'm sure you have valid criticisms.

If every HNer does their part, cold harbor can be a reality.

It’s not even a bias in that situation. Conservatives have an interest in denying reality because denying reality lets them have more of what they want.

Reality is what it is. Reality isn’t biased. It looks like a bias because of how far conservatives have pulled everyone to the right, by moving further right while demanding that everyone meet in the middle.
Yeah that sounds like a totally great idea conducive to a safety of culture.

We are still talking about Oracle, right? That company that just a few years ago decided to sue all of their customers, worldwide, for whatever terms from their one-sided policies they decided were violated? The one that actually lost almost every time somebody took them to court, but insisted on doing it anyway?

The one that got the manager responsible sacked, but is still managed by the same CEO (and owner) that appointed him?

https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF11546

"The removal procedure for presidentially appointed IGs is
found in Title 5, Section 403(b), which reads in part
An Inspector General may be removed from office
by the President. If an Inspector General is removed
from office or is transferred to another position or
location within an establishment, the President shall
communicate in writing the substantive rationale,
including detailed and case-specific reasons for any
such removal or transfer to both Houses of
Congress (including the appropriate congressional
committees), not later than 30 days before the
removal or transfer. Nothing in this subsection shall
prohibit a personnel action otherwise authorized by
law, other than transfer or removal."
>A person collaborating on output almost certainly still would still not qualify as substantive contributions

But then

>You must have a hand in the physical expression by painting yourself.

You contradict yourself. Novel AI will literally highlight your contributions separately to the AI so you can prove you also painted. Image generators literally let you paint over the top to select AI boundaries.

I agree that a lot of human output is stochastic parrot-like. But now and again at least, some human or group of humans appear to come up with something truly original and brilliant. This is something I have yet to see from LLM-based AI, and my guess is it would take a different paradigm to create machines that think in this sense.
Nothing wrong with the dollar, things are cheap, food is cheap, even after the last couple of years inflation. What's broken is housing. People in the 90s had fewer toys but much more affordable housing.
AFAIK that's the case with pretty much every ARM SBC, Raspberry Pi being the exception. They still support the original model from 2012 with their latest OS and it's a huge part of their success IMO.
Good point! It's always fascinating when the sergeant at arms is actually employed since it's so seldom used. I'm sure Congress wouldn't go down that path with Trump for many many reasons, but perhaps it could be used against lower-level minions in extreme situations. Probably not, but fascinating to consider :)

It's somewhat odd to represent a community as being right wing when the worst thing to come from it was a trans vegan murder cult. Most "rationalists" vote Democrat, and if the franchise were limited to them, Harris would have won in a 50 state landslide.

I’m not an expert in such things, but this seems like a good use case for IPFS. Kinda similar to a torrent except that it is natively content-addressed (essentially the key to access is a hash of the data).
In the context of Emacs, absolutely. I, for one, love the fact that the completions aren't an opinionated set of rules, and anyone can configure them to their liking. Why would I let anyone upstream dictate how those rules should apply, on my computer, in my editor? For example, when working in a Clojure codebase, I don't want to blindly rely on CIDER completions because they work only when you have a connected REPL. I want to leverage LSP completions (if it's connected), and I also want completions for my code snippets, filenames, keywords specific to the language, words in comments, etc.

If tomorrow I wanted to use different rules, applying them dynamically based on some conditions - Emacs provides ways to achieve that.

So yes, for completions specifically, I don't want them to be rigidly embedded in the core of Emacs. I prefer this feature to be an extension. Interestingly, Emacs is so versatile that some extensions are built so well that sometimes you completely forget they are not built-in features or an afterthought; they feel as if the editor was specifically designed to have them.
Except that nothing is illegal now, Biden showed that with blanket pardons. So for all intents and purposes they will do what they like and Trump can just wipe it clean at the end.
No, GenericWriter takes a function at compile time and it gives you a GenericWriter struct that calls that function (at compile time), no function pointers needed.

That hasn’t entirely gone away, it’s just taken up the guise of empathy now. Canada’s MAID program seeks to euthanize people for mental health issues, and it is my believe that it has already been successful in suckering many that would not otherwise go through with anything into ending their lives.

Although it is ostensibly not yet approved for mental illness, it appears that the standards in practice are lax, and that some amount of patients that start out seeking treatment for depression are convinced by their doctors to exaggerate other conditions to get approved for MAID.

for coding insights / suggestions as you type, similar to copilot, i agree.

for rapidly developing prototypes or working on side projects, i find llama 8b useless. it might take 5-6 iterations to generate something truly useful. compared to say 1-shot with claude sonnet 3.5 or open ai gpt-4o. that’s a lot less typing and time wasted.

I feel like you're interacting with the same people I'm interacting with because your assessment of them is spot on. They love the talking points. Whenever you shut down one talking point with facts they pole vault over that into the next talking point. They want to be 20 ft up in the air away from the truth and never question why they've been lied to. They believe and even make up wild conspiracy theories on the spot when confronted with information that conflicts with what Trump and his supporters have said and done. Their brains leap over every possible barrier I put up, never letting it stop them. Maybe I'm not a good debater but facts are facts and they don't seem to appreciate or respect or even value them. I need to find a new, less depressing group of people to be around which will unfortunately mean quitting my job but I just can't do it anymore.

How is the build quality and cooling compared to Thinkpads? I saw some praise (e.g. from DHH) as well as some very critical Reddit posts.

In EU, Thinkpads are sadly very overpriced, except cheap E/L models. The price gap compared to the US is substantial. Whereas MacBook pricing is not too different across markets.
