It's hard to separate politics from topics like these, as the current politics have very far reaching impact on almost aspects of life.

For example, this article discusses medical implants. Safety of those is very important. When the owner of the company is actively dismantling oversight that ensures safety, this directly impacts whether we can trust this product.

I agree that HN should be mostly politically neutral, and for the most part it is. For topics involving Musk, however, one simply cannot ignore their problematic attitude towards anything that might inconvenience them.
I can't understand how some commenters frame such a result as not good. The big players will have no problem licensing large corpora to train their models, while my tiny site won't be vacuumed (legally at least) by scrapers if I won't agree.

My willingness to upload my projects anywhere is in the historical lows given the current state, honestly.
JJ should be compatible with any existing Git server. The project is currently maintained on Github, and I believe all the maintainers use JJ to work on the project itself. At work, I use JJ a lot with repositories hosted on Azure Devops, and that also works well (in some ways, better than Github).

This is using JJ's "Git" backend, which internally stores data as Git refs, and communicates with other servers the same way that Git does. There is a work-in-progress native backend, but this is still being developed and you need to explicitly opt into it if you want to try it out.

That’s irrelevant navel gazing: the operator which describes the change depends on the continuous path between.

I don’t believe it does when factoring in expansion — or at least, that hasn’t been shown.

Forigner here, one who's family has been shaped on both sides by the nazis and lived through either bombing, or were active members of the resistance in occupied europe.

That was a Hitlergruß, no ifs no buts. More over it wasn't just the once.

Does it make him a nazi? no.

But one has to question why the fuck he thought it was a good idea.

He's terminally online, he knows exactly what it is. He's seen the same memes as us, and knows exactly what that gesture means. So why do it?

That is the far more concerning question.

But thats irrelevant as he appears to be gaining absolute control over the executive.

Also this is just an example, there are a lot of very complex (from the point of git) things that are trivial like that in jj.

> On November 15, a Zionist account posted a tweet attacking Nazis for being “cowards” and posting ‘Hitler was right.’” In response, a fascist account replied that “Jewish communities have been pushing... dialectical hatred against whites” through “hordes of minorities... flooding their country.”

> Musk responded to the latter post with the statement, “You have said the actual truth.”

Those, and so much more, are the facts. You cherry-pick the ADL, say "there doesn't seem to be anything else", and conclude everyone, including Auschwitz survivors who seriously have better things to do, just "hate Musk".
> However, I didn't like the idea of making the client side do work to make up for my own poorly-managed website.

If you set the bar to "0% JS at all costs" then you can't very well complain about how hard it was to maintain HTML.

Part of the standards, whether we like it or not, is JS. A sprinkling of JS (say, 60 lines?) to do client-side includes does not in any noticeable way increase the workload of the client, nor deteriorate the experience of the user.

After all, you provide a CSS file, right? The JS to do client-side includes using a custom element (so that `<client-side-include remote-src="...">` works) is unlikely to surpass a modest CSS file in terms of size.

Often when people ask for Oauth they really mean OAuth2/OIDC, and what they really want is managed authentication, with further authorisation being managed at the application level rather than through oauth.

The advantages are there:

1. Reducing sign-up friction. Despite how much this crowd dislike such things, it's much easier for most people to hit "Use google login" or "use facebook login" than create a new account. One less password to remember ( or one less place to store the same password you use everywhere ) for people without password managers.

2. People trust "Google" or "Facebook" more than they trust random service they're just checking out. Having that "sign in with google" extends that trust to your service.

3. If you ever do need Authorization, it's much easier retro-fitting that if you already have OAUTH than trying to retro-actively fit it all to get that authorization.

4. Letting someone else take care of user account cancellation. Businesses hate it when there's no OAUTH, because they don't want to have to track down and change / cancel accounts when someone leaves their organization. They want to suspend/remove them from their Azure AD / Octa / etc and that user instantly becomes persona-non-grata across all services. They might also want to have different groups at their end, so they're still the same identity, but lost authorisation to log into <Service> now they moved from an ops role into development, for instance. They're still the same identity and same authenication in this case, but should no longer be authorised for your service.
When my parents died, starting with my mum that shattered the world. My family didn't stay together. I was cut adrift.

Time does heal though. It never stops you loving someone but it lets you gradually put something together out of the wreckage. The person you loved is no longer in pain, no longer suffering. The problem is feeling that nothing can replace the hole blown in your world.

Nothing does replace it exactly but you gradually build a different structure that makes life bearable. Other people need you (especially your child) to create that structure for them and when you start to do it you will see the value of overcoming your own pain.
Yeah, I think in general what he has said is true but also touches a nerve (because it is political so obviously it is polarizing, and because it is a foreign saying it, which tends to irk people anywhere irrespective of what is being said).
I don't think it actually happens as much as these people like to say it does. It's just a convenient way to externally blame and berate those they don't like for things they were going to do anyway.

But to the extent that it does happen, it seems explicable with reference to the behaviour of children when told not to do something. Some evidently never grew out of it.
It been that way for... 300 years?

Those with the biggest economies and/or most guns has changed a few times but the behaviours haven't and probably never will.
I believe google surpass this metric, specifically because of things like android phone back-ups, google photos, drive, youtube etc....
What I am reacting to is that to me it sounded like you were being tempted by explanations outside of the realm of logic and reason.

I am saying - well, I can readily think of a second order explanation that is logic/reason/“materialist” compatible, so I wouldn’t find it a proportionate response to wander off the reservation on this basis of this topic.
Of course he did, and he knew what a Hitlergruß is and what it means. As I've said elsewhere, hes not some teenager whos being edgy. Hes been to a fucking death camp.

Does that make him a nazi? no.

But why did he think it was a good idea? Knowing that doing a Hitlergruß has all those connotation’s.
You seem awfully sure about what you would do but you again do not seem to have considered about what it is like to be fully paralyzed. Let me be clear, I understand the risks of these devices. But my impression is that you're having trouble emphathizing with people with such medical conditions and you're not really considering how it feels to live like that. In fact, you again spend your whole message talking about abstract considerations, but you do not talk about the experience of being unable to do almost anything - how that shapes a persons willingness to take risks and weigh them differently. That is my point about trade-offs, consider the personal and emotional as well as the technical.
Not the person you replied to, but I totally agreed with him and, interestingly, cannot make sense at all of your reply. Those points especially seem to be the crux of your argument but I don't see the logic supporting them:

> then wouldn't it be such a coincidence that this materialistic brain happens to describe precisely what you seem to experience?

> then it would be an extremely unlikely coincidence that human brains and bodies are expressing these facts which happen to correspond to our supposedly 100% passive observing "minds".

I fail to see what's unlikely about the viewpoint that the mind is passively watching the movie that our body is the main character of; Or why such a one-way relationship would contradict the mind being real and "physical". Physics is full of one way functions. It is not the first time that I totally fail to comprehend one side of this very debate, and it feels like I'm missing an essential insight.

I understand that in dualism the "mind" (the conscious experience) does not bring anything to the physical world and look therefore utterly useless, which is not satisfactory but does not prove or disprove anything (that's what I understand to be "the hard problem of science"), like the angels pushing the celestial bodies according to the laws of physics. I would gladly rule out the possibility of such useless conscious experience like I rule out the theory of the little angels, if not for the personal experience I have of it :)

So, to follow along that analogy, it seems to me that yes indeed the moon obeys the law of physics but still somehow some little angels that I can see pretend that they push it around. And your argument sounds like "there must be an influence from these angels to the laws of physics because otherwise it's too unlikely that those angels would be seen", which sounds suspicious to me given how the laws of physics stands very well on their own.

I don't know if I've made the discussion clearer or more opaque.

I love the idea as I listen to a lot of podcasts and an occasional audiobook.

The first impression is not that great. There's nothing natural about the voice. While individual words and phrases sound good, there's still no decent cadence and intonation. Feels flat and robotic.

I think calling this art is a stretch, as they usually aren’t the author.

By automating it, it lowers the barrier to access this type of audio content for the masses. If you want to choose to pay someone you read something for you, the market allows that. This feels like a net gain.
Then you do mostly or only things that do not fully use a 9950X.

For things that fully use a 9950X (i.e. which include a lot of array operations or of operations with big numbers), the throughput of a 9950X in many times higher than of any M4.

A 9950X is not really optimal for a personal computer. The ideal configuration is to have both a mini-PC or a laptop that you use as your personal computer, because even for professional use most of the time you do only things that require very little CPU power, e.g. reading or editing documents, together with a desktop computer with a 9950X that you use as a server, launching on it any compute-intensive tasks.
A friend was working for a startup that sells an app with edited, shortened audio-books from non-fiction. Basically doing what the article says, taking out the fluff. I never understood the point of listening to that, but then again I'm probably far from the target group. I also never read self-help non-fiction.

In the 30s, Communists were the big boogeyman in Germany.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/martin-nie...

Italians called themselves fascist. Germans would not have identified as such.

Fascism is difficult to define, even when it does not mean "my current political enemies." I tend to favor Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism traits. Eco is a historian who grew up under Italy's fascism.

If you take a step back and squint a little, almost all of that could apply to the US, regardless of administration. I would hope that would serve as a dire warning and not as a weapon.

Yeah, reddit is heavily leaking in this thread. The Internet as a whole has become slowly more political over the past decade, and that's to be expected. But this last cycle has been utterly unbearable for non americans. The identity politics and the obsession of every person having to be either a super-hero or a villain is tiring. Why can't people just discuss the tech?
My two thoughts on this:

- there's a real threat from AI to the open internet by drowning it in spam, fraud, and misinformation

- current "AI safety" work does basically nothing to address this and is kind of pointless

It's important that AI-enabled processes which affect humans are fair. But that's just a subset of a general demand for justice from the machine of society, whether it's implemented by humans or AIs or abacuses. Which comes back to demanding fair treatment from your fellow humans, because we haven't solved the human "alignment problem".
It is, it is.

It now seems that you do agree that Federal judges actually have the ability to order the Executive branch on matters which are not at the President's discretion, yes?

Your thesis is that only the Supreme Court gets to decide what is and is not part of the President's discretion?

So for the three months with the Supreme Court is out of session, there's no constraint on the President, except by having an emergency session?

Is it part of the President's discretion to imprison Supreme Court judges at Guantanamo?

If he does that, I believe your view is that no Federal judge has the ability to order the Executive branch to stop.

Sounds like you've listened to too many anti-democractic activists for the unitary executive theory - a view common among the rich and powerful, and their sycophants.
Honestly those declarations are more hot air and virtue signaling than anything else.

It's a shame there isn't more of an open community around pinboard. Some time ago, I tried to get an answer about a very basic API detail (the format of a token, IIRC) and couldn't get it.

In 2025 making pancakes at school requires a written risk assessment / safety plan.

Health and safety regulation has exploded in the last 40 years and the liability gives administrators heart attacks. Many kids today are not even allowed to use kitchen knives let alone chisels or lathes.

It's not the fault of the kids, but the effects are somewhat self-fulfilling - kids who don't get access to even slightly dangerous things while growing up don't develop the skills and awareness they need to work safely as young adults.
In absolute terms, the numbers given in the PEP work out to about a thousand machine instructions per byte of input, for both the old and new parsers. From my point of view, that's pretty slow.

Note that this includes the time for tokenization, which is generally the bulk of the time spent in parsing, and which I believe did not change between the old recursive-descent parser and the new PEG parser.
Typically the tokenizer must iterate over some 32 characters per line of input code, which it reduces to some 8 tokens for the benefit of the parser proper, so usually the tokenizer is the bottleneck. However, the performance in this case seems too poor to attribute to the tokenizer.

That PEP also discusses some avoidable inefficiencies in the old parser that accounted for a substantial fraction of its runtime.

One of the biggest advantages of PEGs is that you don't need a separate tokenization pass. But that means you are incurring Packrat's inefficiency per character instead of per token. As I said above, I believe the CPython implementation does not do this.

I've written and worked on PEG parser generators, and I think PEG parsing is the best option in a wide variety of circumstances. But it is rarely the fastest option and usually far from it.

Consider whether advertising at all should be everywhere, not just the brightness of it.

In Brazil, one town banned all advertising hoardings (back when they were just posters), and observed multiple changes in how people felt about the space, including the fact that they were hiding entire favelas ("shantytowns"), that many locals were not really aware of.[1]

It's been a while since I subscribed to Adbusters magazine[2], but I do believe in their central premise that advertising, whether it be in public spaces or online, is harmful to mental health and society, because it perpetuates an unhealthy consumerism, and it distorts truth.

So, I say, don't just make advertising a bit more subdued than an LCD (but not as sustainable as recyclable paper which was fine for a long old time): let's just get rid of it.

I love the retelling of "I don't really care, Margaret." here.

But politics aside, this also points to something I've said numerous times here before: In order to write the rulebook you need to be a creator.

Only those who actually make and build and invent things get to write the rules. As far as "AI" is concerned, the creators are squarely the United States and presumably China. The EU, Japan, et al. being mere consumers sincerely cannot write the rules because they have no weight to throw around.

If you want to be the rulemaker, be a creator; not a litigator.
