Isn't that implicit in what I wrote?

Of course we should strive to make society just, and this will reduce the motive for violence -- the mistake is to believe that doing so will stop all violence. This might seem a small point, but it's not: Believing that it would stop all violence is a sign that you believe that (a) people are fundamentally good, and (b) have no agency -- that we just react inevitably and helplessly to conditions imposed on us by an external environment. Both of these beliefs are dangerously wrong.

So one of the most important things to "fact check" in this election for me was the clear elder abuse of someone with advanced dementia.

How do you fact check that?

Because almost everyone has a grandparent and has seen what it looks like. When push comes to shove and you lie about something everyone can see and has such a visceral reaction to, it's hard to move past it.

And even seeing clear as day for months it kept being denied. If you can't solve for that, there's no point.

I hope to see copyright duration go down to a reasonable length within my lifetime. There's tons of creative derivative work which builds upon existing content which cannot be sold due to copyright.

The way I think about IP is that if you grew up with something, by the time you're an adult it should be possible to remix it in any way you like, because it's part of your culture. Nobody should get to lock down an idea for their lifetime.
But surely, the answer to 'data can be twisted' is not to remove the data? We have enough of a problem already with wilful misinformation.

Having the data is the first step towards a reasonable discussion. Otherwise, you have to resort to 'I feel ....' vs 'Based on this interpretation....'

I agree that the first kind of debate is already the dominant form today, however I think we can all agree that it's not been good for society overall.
I'm not saying this is right, but after every party change everything on the government websites change and links/data disappear. This is not limited to this one election, we just happen to notice it now because someone brought it up. Kinda like small chips on your car's windshield.

Notice how things like eg the federal reserve data does not disappear because it is protected by legislation. We should be asking not why is it disappearing, but why didn't we enshrine preservation of data in law?
I like much of it currently but I would ideally put "hide" and "flag" somewhere less accessible.

In the main view pretty much all the details are useful but I'd be fine to drop the name of the poster of an article (this never guides my attention to an article in the slightest, unlike the other details).

It would be fine to play around with layouts for points, time since post and source site, possibly even using abbreviations to save space, especially if they were positioned differently.

For instance:

19p | 7hrs | 20c

Instead of:

And yet trump is president.
It really helped me to listen to Eli Lake's Jan 22, 2025 podcast on Honestly having to do with American populism, especially that of our last populist president, Andrew Jackson.

The basic idea is that populism does not become the new norm (as per poster legitster) except for a period of maybe 8 - 10 years. Grassroots populism provides a corrective when the ruling elites have lost touch with the chief concerns of the people. Both the Democrats and the Republicans will tweak their platforms to incorporate some of these ideas, and having done their job, the populists will fade away. Before this wave of populism departs, there will probably be a bipartisan agreement that DEI programs have gotten out of control, that gender reassignment surgery for children is a bad idea, that the first amendment to the Constitution is a good thing and should be defended. (That last sentence, "Before this wave of populism departs..." reflects my speculation, not that of Eli Lake.)
If you haven’t tried recently I’d give it another go. A lot of work has gone in to the LSP this past year to stabilize it and improve performance.
Not sure of what you’re asking.
Yeah, to me the show was much more about how every modern real company secretly wished they could sever their employees, and how much they'd abuse that power dynamic if they actually had it.

Work without workers? Perfect!
Ask HN: Looks like local LLMs are picking up. Are we seeing a new disruption?
While I won't claim he currently has much of interest to say, he definitely explained a lot of important ideas for thinking more clearly to people who would not otherwise have encountered them, even if he didn't invent any of them.
That's an excellent going-in position. Given sufficient complexity and overlap, frictions arise. Hence all of the allegations and lawsuits and appeals and so forth.

The voters are the ultimate judge, and typically end up with a government that reflects them, warts and all.
I just picked a random, notable feature (std::format) and the LTS my systems are currently on (22.04). The current Clang in universe is 14, which doesn't have a complete std::format implementation. That's one of the most popular features from a 5 year old language standard that many people are using today and yet it's still not available on a common LTS version without adding the LLVM repos.
And LFS is of course explicitly in this space. You basically build your own OS.

But Slackware has much smaller initial commitment, so I'd think it would be better to start.
That's a whole lot of conjecture.
So we’re sol? Government’s aren’t going to start properly taxing the wealthy.
it's been an exhausting couple of weeks for me, as a trans person. one executive order after another, explicitly attacking us. scrambling to update all my documents, navigating a Kafkaesque bureaucracy with constantly shifting rules.

now this.

there are like six Zizians. there are millions of trans people. I'm sure that many of the Zizians being trans says something about the Ziz cult, but Ziz doesn't say anything about "trans activism."

any evil one trans person does, is used to stain all trans people. recognize this tendency; don't let this become like blood libel.

Indeed. If the DNC had allowed Bernie Sanders to run against Trump, Sanders would very likely have beaten him and Trump would have remained a reality TV star. Instead, they pushed Clinton on Democrats just like they pushed Harris this cycle. The corruption within the DNC is very much to blame for Trump.

I refuse to accept the childish assertion that the majority of American voters are card carrying members of a radical political system that was defeated last century. This is just an emotional response to a reality that one does not want to accept.
Oh, absolutely. Even on just that last issue of cost, buying my own cable-modem paid for itself long ago, compared to the "rental" cost from my ISP.

On that note, it's better to buy a router separately from the modem. All-in-one devices are harder to diagnose and you can't reuse the router with a different connection type.
False equivalence. This is not some cosmetic change. No administration has ever done a bulk removal of scientific data from all government websites solely because it conflicts with their policy goals.

This removal expresses not just a differing policy but a contempt for facts themselves.
Are the reports true that the two who first attacked the landlord were trans? And the two in the border patrol attack were trans? And the suspect in the Zajko killings is trans? And the leader of the cult is trans?

And also that the person whom you mention, who was accused of the landlord killing, was in fact married to one of the trans persons above?

I don't exactly see how it's different from a group of habitual alcoholics discussing politics and having a fatal disagreement, which is a normal day of the week in any police department with enough demographics to have this sort of low-effort low-gain crime. It's more scandalous because of details and people involved are more interesting, but everyone will forget about it after a week, as they don't matter.
> They have, in the past, responded to criticism with statements to the effect of "anyone who would criticize us for any reason is a bad person who is lying to cause us harm". That kind of framing can't help but get culty.

I have never seen this and I've been active around this around for almost two decades now.

Also very much doesn't match my experience. Only about a quarter of my friends are even rationalists.
He also tried to get the DoJ to label the election as suspicious. Don’t have an immediate reference for that but it was surfaced by the Jan 6 committee.
Not a contradiction at all. And this isn't about "sanewashing" Trump.

There is a set of people eligible to vote. There is a set of people who do vote. Anyone in the first set who chooses not be in the second set, is no longer included in statements about What The People Want. You snooze, you lose.

The time to say whether you want or don't want a President is in November. You stay quiet then, you don't get to complain in January "This isn't what I wanted!" To stay home by choice is be OK with whatever outcome others decide.

And those others spoke clearly that this is the outcome they wanted.

Honestly, my head hurts at the apologism over non-voters. If you don't vote, you don't count!
The Americans also has the advantage of being done. It's six seasons long and, imho, manages to the stick the landing.

I don't get this reaction.

Apple: here, we're open-sourcing this previously closed-source Apple-specific thing that made Swift better on Apple platforms. We're moving the Apple stuff into a plugin so Windows and Linux can be equal peers to Apple in the new system. We've implemented preliminary support for Windows & Linux and plan to continue work to bring them up to parity.

Hacker News: I believe that this long game of Swift being "good for everything" but "better for Apple platforms" will be detrimental to the language. This does not help the language nor seems to bring more people to the ecosystem.

Like, what more do you want from them? For them to only open-source Swift Build once they've fully implemented complete parity for Windows and Linux? In the years you'd be waiting for full parity, we'd still see this same kind of comment on every story about swift, asking when they're going to open source a production-level build system.

Agreed that your grandma is unlikely to access the data directly, however that doesn't imply she is not affected by it's removal. As others have noted, professionals your grandma almost certainly depends upon(doctors for example) rely on the data.
The Power of Poetry: Why Everyone Should Write
Of course, the cabal of globalists are all backed by the same people. Those people are the fiat inflationary money printer central bankers, following a policy interventionism which taken to its conclusion results in destruction.

You gauge a group of people by their actions, and not what they say because deceitful parasites lie more than they breathe.

A Protectionist/ultranationalistic president won't be in office for long. They'll 25th amendment him given his age/competency. That leaves Vance as president, and his policies are unclear, but any policy is going to require money, and that money has only one place to come from, central bankers.
When Bush took office all of the data about climate change disappeared from government websites. So this is not a post about false equivalence but a question why the previous party did not protect this specific data like other government agencies. I think the answer to that question is more nuanced than we may like to believe

+1 for both Andor and Arcane (although I would probably do a +10 for Arcane given how amazing it was inside the genre even not knowing anything about the background story)
As you can tell from the price, these are a very expensive luxury item. The legal minimum wage is VND 1.800,000/month, meaning a kilo at even the lowest wholesale price of "only" 680,000 is over a week's income. At retail, I recall them going for several million dong/kilo a few years back in Danang.
The goals for redesign are simple.

Often, I find myself in situation when I've to interact with HN on multiple devices, the idea is to prevent zooming into each post to focus on the post, maybe information density thing works for me but only sometimes(such as when I'm working on a new idea research), I often view HN top page as stats of what people's opinions or sentiments are on the topics, which can often be wrong unless I've read the article and completed the flow of information. Decision process was:

- Readability of Title

- Ensuring all the posts can be least distracting and fair for upvotes(that's why no favicon or metadata)

- Removal of adrenaline rush factor

Thanks for your (subjective) feedback for this prototype,

- I didn't test on Safari touch (will be including that in CI)

- information density of HN is one of the things that could

become a compromise, I'm hoping to find a solution to that with resizability

- That's duly noted, I understand how navigating through tabs can be.

- I tried going with a button based approach but it only covered more screen real estate so I ditched it for links.
Tell HN: Hypergeometric > Binomial > Poisson
Just in case you didn't know:

Poisson distribution is a special case of Binomial distribution.

Binomial distribution is a special case of Hypergeometric distribution.

So Hypergeometric is the mother of these 3... but who is the mother of all distributions?
Anecdote: I was in charge of a complete rebuild for an e-commerce website a few years back, which included a new design. We were debating various layout options, as it was tricky to get the information hierarchy right and show everything necessary even on smaller screens. Then we had an internal review and the CEO complicated things considerably by insisting it was very important that the header be sticky --- to ensure that the company logo would always remain visible even when scrolling, reminding users of our brand.
LessWrong always felt culty and weird to me, tbh. It's why I stick to HN for my social discourse. No central personality drives this place. It's the opposite of culty. It can be a bit of an echo chamber, maybe, but that's a different problem.
I've never heard of a democratic, or even republican (beyond trump) ask for personal oaths of loyalty or openly purge government institutions based on personal loyalty, acts of revenge, etc.

As far as the current administration goes, they see simple statements of scientific fact as false / evidence of "bias". That's not one side or another, that's just ignorance.

"It's ok when I do it, because I think they did." Is just and endless escalation by design. Those in power will always find a reason to justify their actions because it benefits them ... not because anyone else actually did the thing.
Calling them a roaming band or "tactical death squad" is giving far too much credit. It is a handful of crazy people who convinced themselves that a couple murders would solve their problems.

In particular the attack on border patrol was obviously random and illogical. And the fact that no one was convicted of the Pennsylvania murders seems to reflect more on the police and prosecutors than the intelligence of the perpetrators.
Isn't this literally ad hom? Not one substantive rebuttal of the lines of reasoning, just rejection because of one source. But that's not the only source.

It's from an interdisciplinary study group, including King's college department of war studies. It's about the social cohesion risks implicit in the hollowing out of society. I'm less inclined to disbelieve it.
They are saying it's likely illegal but it doesn't matter because the law does not apply to certain people. No consequences for illegal activity will ever touch Trump or Musk.
Thank you for this effort.
Yes I read high quality news sources- the WSJ, NYTimes, foreign affairs and a few others like the national review and mother Jones from time to time. I hear this argument a lot and my issues with Trump were from the primary source- his own words and tweets.

The economy was already humming when Trump first entered office and despite his best efforts it continued to do so through his term.

I also inserted “rationalist” into my submission of this story because it’s an accurate description of the group.
According to your own figures, if plane travel gets even just 200x less safe, it would become less safe than driving. I mention this not because I know how much less safe flying is going to become, but because you don’t either. 200x less safe may be relatively easy for us to achieve if flying fatalities are as low as I believe they are.

Moreover, I’m not sure if I give into the framing of your figures. According to google, a plane ride on average goes 500 miles, while an average car trip is 11 miles. I am not sure if I’m doing the math correctly, but I’m pretty sure an average plane ride is thus less safe than an average car trip.

Sure, you can argue that a road trip is less safe than the same flight distance as a plane — and I don’t think I would even disagree with making that the standard — but I think saying flying is safer across the board would require narrowing yourself to a more subjective definition for “safer” than your comment suggests.
I was hoping the article would propose the opposite: if you train LLMs on copyrighted data, you owe the author a part of your income from it. How big should be determined by courts but probably proportional to the amount of data.

There's absolutely no reason rich people owning ML companies should be getting richer by stealing ordinary people's work.

But practicality trumps morality. The west needs to beat China and China doesn't give a fuck about copyright or individual people's (intellectual) property.

The ML algos demand to be fed so we gotta sink to their level.

I should've said I didn't do any control experiment. I looked more closely at what Claude did in another case and it was console-logging some rough features out of the canvas data that time. If it actually was "looking at" the image the first time, it had to have been through a text encoding -- I think I remember a data URL briefly starting to appear in the transcript.
Unless you're reading at the top of the screen (i.e. on a phone), scroll up to recap on something you missed, and then the header slides in and covers the exact thing you were trying to read.

Bonus points if the header is absolutely massive and takes up a full fifth of the innerHeight.

There are hundreds of thousands of rationalists (to a greater or lesser extent). Very few go shoot people.
