Each separate state-impactful activity into its own function, no?

> For the UI example...

I wasn't talking about building a GUI in a python program: I was talking about using python to automate an external GUI app.

Because that toy example (which also happens to be done in the real world!) encapsulates a lot of the state issues that don't seem well-handled by the current design.

Namely, that external interactions are a mix between stateless and stateful operations.

Right off the bat, 小念頭, siu2 lim6 tau4 seems to be incorrectly romanized. 念 should be nim6, not lim6.

lim6 is what we call 懶音 (literally "lazy pronunciation").

The statement that "Cantonese has no formal standardization for its phonetic and writing systems" deserves a better explanation. There are in fact multiple standards, as can be seen on the website of the Multi-function Chinese Character Database developed by the Chinese University of Hong Kong:

- https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/initials.php

- https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/finals.php

- https://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-mf/tones.php

When you search for a Chinese character on the Multi-function Chinese Character Database website, by default, it will give you the jyutping (粵拼) romanization (you can select a different romanization system from the drop-down at the bottom left of the screen).

I don't think so. I do GitHub sponsor and i think its more sponsor then donation. The sponsor can get the reward specify by author. And one of the reward can be access to author private repository.

I think GitHub sponsor is more than donation. There is give and take between author and sponsors. Though it depends on the author to set up the reward and tier.

Mostly remodeling my house, by myself.

I really should hire someone to do it, and spend my time with electrical engineering. Even then, about half of the time I'm designing a product, I can listen to audio books. Component selection is the most mentally taxing part, followed by early stages of schematic capture. Once I have everything operationally figured out, the more mundane schematic work isn't at all taxing, and I'll do it while listening to audio books. Circuit board layout I almost can't do without listening to something. It's very similar to playing puzzle games.
That’s quite the accomplishment. I saw three separate ones just on my way home today out of the corner of my eye.

Intelligence is kinda unnecessary at this point. A Tiktok VP already admitted to a UK parliament select committee that they used to harshly moderate anything the Chinese government found sensitive

Q90 - John Nicolson: It may happen elsewhere, and I can tell you what your official TikTok response was to this leak. You did not deny that these were instructions. In fact, you confirmed that these were instructions, but what you said was that the company had changed its policy in May 2019. Previously, you instructed your moderators to take down videos critical of China, specifically talking about incidents in Tiananmen Square, separatism in Tibet, all straight out of the Chinese Communist Party playbook. You confirmed that is what your moderators did, but your defence was that you had changed your policy in May 2019.

Theo Bertram: It is highly regrettable that that is what it was, but it is not our policy today, nor has it been for a long time.

It means that if you bought under $100k, you are no longer the biggest fool. Bitcoin is completely unworkable as an everyday currency and this this is due to multiple factors. Any attempt to address these shortcomings ends up slowly[0] re-inventing the modern financial system and its various systems of trust. People who try to convince you otherwise are simply in search of a bigger fool, since they bring up the USD value of bitcoin.

And if those transcripts don’t have incriminating evidence, should they still be released?

If they interviewed everyone at that parade, what they were doing etc, and some of those people were completely uninvolved but maybe having affairs, or doing something immoral (whatever that is), then shouldn’t they be afforded privacy? Eg Imagine one would be mortified to have what sex toy was in their pocket at the time documented in public transcript.

The constitution and laws are for the people. If the people don't care for them then they're just meaningless bits of paper.

Frankly we haven't had any real rule of law for a long time, and that's finally filtered through to the general populace. The law has been selectively enforced for decades (the famous "three felonies a day"). Of course the people don't respect the law any more, why would they?

Yeah I’m not suggesting anything weird either. I just think the community might want to know which teachers are really well paid. They have chosen employment in the public interest. Are you with me?
This whole Rust in Kernel will not end well. We can spend all the time of the World bean counting half-percentages of who is more at fault but regardless of the Holy accounting this will not end well for Linux.

When being challenged for anything both sides tend to be despicable zealots, but given the 30+ years of C in Linux I tend to side to keep it that way, since the whole "everything is better and secure if done with Rust" is starting to become an annoying myth and the "aggressive victim" mentality a not so small part of the community has manifested throughout the most recent years does not bode well to the kernel of an OS that powers most of the World.

IMO its more like choosing a lesser known evil, because the new ones already demonstrated not being better.

PS: I also blame Linus for this. When you're the "Benevolent Dictator" having the foresight to avoid these brewing nasty civil wars is where you get the credits for all those accolades. He failed miserably.
The public should have a basic level of understanding and care of crypto. The logic of those challenges is that encouraging people to break cryptography is always prosocial; building it is a little more complicated, in the same sense as surgery.
Well, it's refreshing that you're doing an "I told you so" about Musk, rather than getting on my case about my suggestion to use Blockchain to "increase public transparency and accountability", which is what I thought was more likely to happen on HN.

I think there are actually good use cases for blockchain and smart contracts, and DOGE was finally going to be one of them.

This one wasn’t restricted to just a govt building, although it did start with the takeover of a police building. Kids were shot and killed. But the rioters were initially aligned with BLM so there was a lot of sympathy from the government and media. Barely anyone was investigated or punished, in contrast to Jan 6th.

Jealousy.
Everyone seems to start with the premise that it benefits “the United States” to “lead” in AI. But that’s not obvious at all!

It seems bad for rights holders of many kinds of intellectual property (or else they wouldn’t be filing so many lawsuits).

It seems bad for progress in the field: for the most part our frontier vendors don’t contribute innovations back to the commons in anything like the way that DeepSeek has. This seems to mean that effort is duplicated at tremendous cost in a way that props up famine gouging markups for NVIDIA but little else.

It seems bad for the employees of those same vendors: they’ve been getting laid off left, right, and center with AI as a (dubious) justification.

It’s far from obvious that further growth will be powered by renewable energy, there is a lot of talk indicating that much of it will end up being coal brought back on line.

And even the investors are shaping up to be heavily in Japan and the UAE if this Stargate stuff is real.

It sounds like Mag7 shareholders maybe? And even that isn’t clear?

Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but extremely influential people in the space are selling this family of plan with visions of “wages crashing to zero”, which yeah no thanks.

Yes, and yes, which is one reason that, as it turns out, neither the US in the 01920s nor England in the 01860s experienced the famines that affected some other parts of the world at the same time. (In the 01920s Russia was experiencing its first famine that could reasonably be attributed to communism, and in the 01860s Sweden and Finland were experiencing their last famines before their transitions to capitalism.) But not, for example, Ireland in the 01840s and 01850s; that was neither, being colonialist and agricultural.

Nobody starved to death in "famines" like the so-called Lancashire Cotton Famine. By contrast, in the Finnish famine starting the next year, almost 10% of the population of Finland died. As it turns out, that was the last famine in Finland because it became capitalist over the following decades.

The bill is here: https://www.hawley.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Haw...

I'm reading this and it can't possibly mean what it says.

Section 3 says:

(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.

Note that in (a) and (b) the third part of the "or" clause is "intellectual property". It isn't qualified as (say) "artificial intelligence intellectual property".

And in Sec. 2 (6) "Intellectual property" is defined as work protected by copyright, property protected by patent, stuff which is trademarked, or trade secrets.

But any preprint on (e.g.) arxiv.org is copyrighted, hence "intellectual property" under this definition. So as written, this seems to prohibit the exchange of research in general with people in the PRC. The restrictions on AI are problematic enough, but this is just ridiculous.
I think the Democrats are the ones that are into struggle sessions and re-education ...
I guess I had the opposite problem. I'm still not quite sure. I was maybe in the top 5 or so of my highschool but never thought of myself as a genius but more like "not dumb". Got into uni, did OK (3.4 GPA) but didn't try super hard either. Graduated, and then no one really wanted to hire me. Finally, some small PHP shop "took a chance" on me and I quickly became their top developer. Worked there 8 years, started getting interviews at a few different FAANG positions but kept failing, I guess because I thought I was so good at my day job I shouldn't have study for an interview. Eventually wised up, studied my butt off for 3 weeks and got in.

Where was I going with this story... it's hard to get into FAANG but it's really a matter of studying/practicing the right things. Doesn't matter how good you are at writing code, really.

Maybe some of these kids are qualified but don't interview well like me. Or maybe their resumes aren't interesting enough to pique a headhunter or whatever AI has taken their jobs.

This is probably not PC for me to say, but people need to stop using mental health issues as an excuse. Maybe they have some, maybe they don't. What are you going to do? Give up on life, or figure out how to work with them?
What do you mean "gave" them 1.4 Billion? It's a loan so it has to be repaid. Usually, this is unsaid but with crypto people you sometimes have to explain basic financial conditions. Also, the loan was to bail them from risks of Bitcoin.

Technically one of those criminals would have been musk himself, who was in violation of immigration law by violating the terms of his student visa when he first started working in SV: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/10/26/elon-musk...

He also just pardoned a bunch of criminals who physically assaulted police, desecrated Congress, because… they were on his side? That’s simply unprecedented. I don’t need a “party leader” to tell me that’s wrong.
I doubt any of the people collecting phone numbers as an identifier are actually making any calls. They use it as the ID to link all of your data collected by them by anyone else that buys that data to other data they've bought from other suppliers.

In fact, if that is a legit number, then all I'm doing is increasing their rewards points or whatever. Sure, maybe messing with their recommendations like when you share your Spotify account, but that's a whole lot of meh from me on that.
> Trump may be many things, but lacking transparency around his motives and actions is not one of them.

That's not the perception I have. Between changing opinions 180° for no discernible reason (besides reports/speculation of money changing hands, but it's not given as the reason so that's hardly transparent) and most actions being in the short-term interest only of himself, it doesn't strike me as though everyone is aware that voting for him is going to make their future worse (exceptions may include some of the ultra rich affected by the same short term gains as himself). What I hear on this side of the pond is that he also e.g. denies knowing the people who wrote project 2025 and the plan being ridiculous, then (I checked Wikipedia to see what came of it) "nominated several of the plan's architects and supporters to positions in his administration" and it was found that "nearly two-thirds of his executive actions 'mirror or partially mirror' proposals from Project 2025." (Wikipedia, last paragraph of article lede on project 2025)

I'm curious how you see it, since you might be more into USA politics than me (most people are). Doesn't he change opinion most of the time and am I just hearing of the exceptions? Are his denials regarding project 2025 seen as obvious lies and thus deemed transparent that this open-secretly is the plan known to everyone? Or do you see it this way for another reason?

Pretty cool! I've been living in HK for 7 years now and not moved past the basic few phrases - mostly because English gets you so far there's no "forcing factor" (vs. in Tokyo you'd be kinda forced to learn Japanese).

One suggestion, though it would be quite high effort: have you considered also adding a button or something for the pronunciation? I think the hardest part for learners is knowing their reading of the jyutping sounds correct (especially with all the tones).
Russia is homogenous? Interesting.
