I've heard that SF spent a lot of money on homelessness issues. But each time I visited SF, the situation seemed to get worse. I never understood why.

My reaction to the OP article is: Oh... so that is why...

A rare aha moment of mine on HN.
China's vertically-integrated manufacturing ecosystem strategically creates value at all tiers - while cost-efficient production democratizes access to smartphones, solar equipment and IoT devices for billions globally, the same supply chains empower premium innovations like Huawei's satellite phones or CATL's solid-state batteries. This dual-capacity bridges the digital divide: African farmers now access agritech tools at 1/5 the 2010 prices, and South Asian households install solar systems cheaper than kerosene alternatives. Ultimately, industrial clusters aren't just making things affordable, but redefining what's possible for human development at every income level.
The actual source was CNN. Which is the focus of this discussion.
That's too much of a balanced take though than touted by lots of populists.

Germany put it recently into their constitution that new debt is strictly limited, literally called the "debt brake". That overlooks all the nuances you just explained and in the worst case can cripple the German economy. German politics is full of folks demanding the "black zero", meaning essentially no (new) state debt. It's the literal sense, not the metaphorical sense that you are describing. And people buy it, since that's how their household economy works too. They even have a metaphor for that ("schwäbische hausfrau").

It's terrible. The debt brake is just as bad for their economy as the "rent lid" that's very popular among the German left which is crippling their housing sector.

While most meetings tend to be rather useless, I can't help but feel like the character in this story was likely a pain to work with. Of course, we're only getting one side of the story, so maybe I'm reading too much into it and my personal experiences with people like that probably change my perception quite a bit.

But that one-sidedness also makes stories like this as useless as the meetings it's complaining about. Without the full details, there's not much to even learn here except that a lot of meetings are a waste of time, which isn't exactly profound.
The right view is, if you want to put it simplistically like this:

Progressives: Elon doesn't care about free speech, he cares about limiting the speech of progressives in favor of the extreme right

Also progressives: Free speech should have limits to protect minorities from aggressors

Nothing at all inconsistent about these two positions, regardless of whether you think that either one is a good idea, or even true.
Do we send Social Security checks to everyone in the Social Security database?
I think they're saying to give the benefit of the doubt (ex. maybe it's a glitch), without realizing many of us have no more leeway to give due to the continuing onslaught of criminal behavior from musk/Trump which we'll all have to pay for in the future and is now giving our enemies reason to celebrate.
I think it's complex - being elected to a head of state that was previously rife with corruption is a very difficult job, not made easier by the previous regime and their foreign friends trying ( and succeeding ) to reverse the revolution.

In the end I think it's easiest to stick to the facts - which is the elected PM was overthrown by the military and sentenced to death, and eventually died in prison.
imagine if you were thinking out loud and someone kept trying to finish your sentences, right? It would definitely break your flow.

It depends on context. The legal test is called the "Imminent Lawless Action" Test in the US.

> I guess the EU should hire them

The EU doesn't have control of defense policy - that is the mandate of individual European states.

The only EU member with nuclear weapons is France, which has it's own domestic nuclear ecosystem.

More critically, public sector hiring is not the same as private sector. Working for a foreign government's NatSec apparatus would be a red flag for any sort of hiring - especially in the domestic nuclear industry in France.

Wouldn't an economic indicator for the "right level" be nice? Maintained by some economic research institute (without some obvious agenda)?

Having spent a bit of time working with the British army, I'd say there's a lot of pushback, either overt or covert. They even by doctrine have someone nominated in group decisions as the person who will play devil's advocate, to try and reduce groupthink, as groupthink is bad and they know it.
If that was the case, that would definitely mean he is not a state actor, which is defined as «An entity that is a part of, or which operates licitly or semi-licitly on behalf or in service of, a government agency.».

The only way you can claim he is a state actor if you think he acts, in his management of X, on behalf of the US state, a claim which would be entirely laughable even to partisans.
I think you might be assuming I'm a different poster, though not sure.

I just thought that when debating whether the information provided by Musk was a simple SQL statement, and the general weight to put on it, the fact that he recently confidently stated that the government don't use SQL was a relevant bit of info to use when we weigh up alternative hypotheses.

> (Pseudo) anonymized attribution is a bit of a solved problem and you can do it with or without cookies.

How is it typically done without cookies then?

> any probabilistic approach is either relatively inaccurate reduces it's usefulness for this use case, or accurate which raises the same identifiability concerns cookies would introduce

How so? Even if it's accurate you wouldn't be storing anything the information (random id or fingerprint) for the individual user, so you would only be able to answer with reasonable certainty whether you saw the user before or not. You can't identify anyone from that (other than identify them as a new vs returning user) so there is no identifiability concern, unless of course one thinks that constitutes a concern in itself which I don't think the GDPR does.
What everyone wants, and these people want more than most perhaps, is autonomy. Your idea might work so long as there are few rules that would cause people to be kicked out and so long as money is also provided. It probably won't work if people are forced into it because being forced into things is one of the reason they are in their situation already.

More carrot and less stick, more compassion and less puritanism might have a chance of working.

> generally love Chat-GPT UX a lot

I've been using ChatGPT for quite some time, maybe I wouldn't say it's bad, but I also wouldn't say it's exceptionally good or even good. It's a fairly standard chat UI with nothing special going on, and considering the features, even a bit bloated when you look at resource usage.

Just curious what makes you "love" the ChatGPT UI/UX, and what those parts are?

or ... because huge companies make a ton of money from it and pay lobbyist enough

Like it really isn't that rare to have issues where people tell you "nothing can be done, it's from outside of our country" or similar. And then you travel and realize, it's a "your country" issue and many or even most other countries have fixed it or at least massively reduced it and the whole "criminals are in another country" thing didn't prevent them from fixing it...

This e.g. is the case for US spam/scam/robo calls (which isn't "fully fixed" anywhere but starkly reduced by in many places including e.g. the EU).
What I've said is from the perspective of a hypothetical moderation team at Twitter that has enacted this change, a change that will most likely be reversed, and was probably a mistake. Additionally, you are breaking the site's guidelines. This comment thread has very little to do with Elon Musk, please direct your rage somewhere else.
I just wanted to express my support for KOReader—it’s a fantastic piece of software. I use it on my Kobo, and the UI is noticeably faster than the device’s default system. It also offers a wealth of customization options. This may not be an issue on newer e-readers, but the ability to highlight seamlessly across adjacent pages is truly liberating.
> that a crusade against some social group is only interesting as long as it serves the primary interests.

This is clearly not true. X represents Elon’s politics. Best example: Elon has X officially blocked any usage of the term cis as part of his crusade against his trans daughter - and I don’t say that lightly, he was not anti trans until she came out.

Yes they do. One particularly annoying one is about pricing: price can't be zero. If you write as a hobby and don't care about making a dollar, then Amazon gets in the way. Sure, you can publish in Amazon and charge 1 USD, but then you can't publish your book on your own website for free because it goes against Amazon's TOS.

There are other peeves. Covers for example: it's against the TOS to have a cover that shows female nipples, but it's okay to show male nipples. Beyond the sexism of the rule, I'm worried that the way to enforce this is to have some ML system checking all the covers and making judgements about nipples. Which means you have to ask your cover artist to not draw anything that may accidentally look like the wrong kind of nipple \o/ .
>>instead of thinking deeply about it.

Around a decade back, I was doing lots of work on 8-bit microcontrollers, and a fairly old programmer taught me how it was done. And I learned a lot from the approach.

Honestly speaking I had to do lots of paper work, and lots of incremental thinking on paper, testing the ideas along the way.

I'm not worried about Social Security knowing if everyone in their DB is alive or not. I am only worried about dead people still receiving funds. How many of those 20 million are receiving funds?

If someone is marked alive incorrectly and is not receiving funds, I do not care if that data is bad. It's not ideal, but it's not an actual problem.
... all the data of poor people that is.
Sure, you can tell now when looking back. But at the time, it tremendously surprised everyone, both inside and outside.

I think it's the difference between working with ChatGPT versus playing with ChatGPT. The article only describes the “work” use-case: you're trying to use it to get stuff done, so your constraints are fixed going in. But I think the feature targets the “play” use-case of people who just want to idly explore what it can do and how it responds to various inputs. There are no pre-existing constraints.

That said, I still agree with the author that it's useless. The autocompletion suggestions are simplistic, banal, and offer no real variety, so their potential for exploration is rapidly exhausted.
SAYS Chuang Tsu: Confucius went to the West to deposit his writings in the library of the Imperial House of Chao, and Tsu Lu counseled him, saying:

“I have heard that the officer in charge was one named Lao Tsu, who has resigned his office and lives privately. As you, master, wish to deposit your works, why not go and gain his help? “

Confucius said, “Good”, and went to see Lao Tsu, who refused his assistance, whereupon the other began to give a summary of Spring and Autumn with the view of convincing Lao Tsu. But Lao Tsu interrupted:

“This is all nonsense. What are your fundamentals? “

“Charity”, replied Confucius, and duty to one s neighbor.

Said Lao Tsu: “And do you think charity and righteousness constitute man’s original nature?”

“I do. Without charity the princely man could not be what he is. Without righteousness he would be of no effect. These two belong to the original nature of the superior man.”

Lao Tsu continued:

“Tell me what you mean by charity and righteousness?”

Confucius answered:

“To be in one s inmost heart in sympathy with all things, to love all men without selfishness this is the characteristic of charity and duty to one s neighbor.”

Lao Tsu exclaimed:

“What stuff! Does not universal love contradict itself? Is not your elimination of self a positive manifestation of self?”

I hate how the word "disagree" is used to strip all nuance out of political conversation.

If I said it was my political opinion that the gestapo should show up to your door, and drag you, your wife, and children to a death camp - we don't just have a "disagreement." Would you tolerate a discussion around somebody who said they personally wanted to do something like that to you?

There's a line somewhere around political opinions that involve using the state to inflict violence on another that I believe should be inexpressible in public, and I think it's fine for non-state actors to ensure that's the case.

All the extra "hints" everywhere, hovering stuff changes the look, the editor itself displaying fucking popups while I'm coding about updates or just "You could activate this extension now".

I don't think you can frame it as "adverse ISPs". I mean in some respects yes, but also IPv6 made the assumption that networks want to be shallow & wide, yet that's not where we've ended up. Rather, we now tend to have a lot of depth to the routing tree. Is this because of NATs? Possibly. But also network isolation turned out to be a powerful tool. And every step of isolation is necessarily another subnet. So now the depth of IPv6 is a limiting factor. Great you can have infinitely wide networks, but you can't expect to nest them much anymore. And that's a rather big limitation.

> If a civilization is capable of the unimaginable feat of interstellar travel, surely their basic needs are well met and they aren't driven by base animal instincts anymore.

That is a bit like saying a human isn't driven by base instincts because we are so large and advanced compared to amoeba. We have concerns and options that are so far beyond the amoeba's comprehension that it makes no sense to even talk about an amoeba comprehending. And yet we are still driven by the same basic resource-acquisition logic as any microbe. Being more advanced again is unlikely to change that.

Although I do agree that the Dark Forest hypothesis seems unlikely. It seems more reasonable to suggest that gravity wells and interstellar distances are a barrier that cannot be economically overcome, so intelligent life is bound to its own rock and eventually dies there. Then the odds just favour us not detecting life out there in whatever time period we've been looking.
