I have a feeling it's eventually going to be possible to work around this by setting up live AI upscaling to 4k - should be a year or two before that starts to work in real-time on higher-end gamer GPU.

Xi Jinping must be pleased, he can call countries around the world and be treated as the sane, reasonable superpower... (And he's got the superpower-wannabe Putin on a leash, and to continue the dog metaphor, Putin in turn has Trump licking his balls)

I guess I’m the weirdo based on the downvotes, but I’ve never even considered taking a screenshot of a movie and I don’t think I could because I watch them on a TV.

The only true "system programming" I've done was in Microsoft Macro Assembler, a product I grew to hate with a passion.

A non-answer, but tangentially relevant:

I once fiddled with Forth, but never actually accomplished anything with it.

Several OSs are written in Lisp; in some of them the difference between OS and application is a bit vague. At the time none of them were available to me to play with.

I discovered Oberon and fell in love. My first real programming language was Pascal, and Oberon is part of the same family. Oberon consisted of a compiler, operating system, user interface, application software, and tools, all self-hosted on Oberon. There was even an Oberon CPU at one time. But Oberon turned out to be just an academic curiosity, and wasn't available for any hardware I had access to anyway.
Friend, I didn't post propaganda or rhetoric, I posted math. Feel free to post sources to the contrary, or explain what you consider misleading. Simply claiming that everything is propaganda is neither constructive nor interesting conversation.

Very clever. But getting tracked doesn't in any way protect you from getting hacked. It just exposes you to more risks, including getting hacked.
Ah thanks, that's what I was looking for.
I didn't downvote you but hovered over the button. Your comment came across as empty virtue signalling. I'm not friends with anyone in 18F and while I'd be keen to read a blog post of your describing how you staffed two entire departments from their layoffs, I don't make hiring processes easier for people because they were fired for political purposes. Everyone gets treated equally well regardless where they come from. I also don't take kindly to people telling me what to do with my money.

No offence intended, no intention of arguing, and you seem like a lovely person, but you did ask and I'm feeling grumpy.
Yeah let's say they they magically go on the market for 25% of their original value ... the demand would be pretty damn absurd.

This whole situation is dumb, but 25% of original value doesn't make much sense.
The source is called open your mailbox and look at what’s in there. There is a massive industry designing, printing, shipping around pieces of paper that just get thrown away for no purpose. Some of them are outright scams (“Important Information! Open Immediately!” and it’s just an ad).

I make $60k a year and I'm not married, and I'll just take the standard deduction. I will have an 8.7% federal tax burden for the 2024 year.

If you inflation-adjust my income backwards to 1990 so it's apples to apples, and then estimate my federal tax burden using the same scenario, it's approaching double. About 15%. Americans, despite all the moaning (from which I'm not immune) are undertaxed by just about every standard. If Americans were taxed at 1990 standards, based on my quick estimation, we'd close the deficit almost completely, or even produce a surplus.

As you can imagine, "I'll double your taxes" is not a winning campaign promise.
That is false in the case of a house. a house you live n can lose value relative to inflation and still be a good investment. remember you have to live someplace and so that rent cost needs to be subtracted from you total investment costs as you would pay it anyway. After you pay the house off (if you do) you continue to sbtract those costs from your investment.

a stock or bond might have a better return but a house also diversifies risk and so is a good investment for that.

the above doesn't mean a house is good for everyone. Just that the analisys everyone else is doing is missing critical details.

I often say states behave as mafias. It is a matter of becoming influential enough so that they treat you as a criminal. In the meantime, the streets every day less and less safe, at least in Europe, bc of real criminals, the ones that kill or systematically steal even in organized crime and they do very little about it.

What do you mean by "an executive branch that is controlled by a city" ? I thought the executive branch was headed by the president who then has most of the say about who heads up the departments. I don't think the president or the people he appoints to run positions have anything to do with the city, they can come from outside of D.C.

I don't think a presidential candidate has ever run on adding more debt either, but that has increased at an even higher rate. How about birth rate? I don't think any candidate has campaigned on lowering the birthrate either, but that has dropped from 17.6 per thousand in 1970 to 12 per thousand in 2020.

I would really like to understand why you believe that the executive branch doesn't have the ability to govern because people that would be carrying out the laws must also be politically aligned with the laws. I also would like to hear why you think that just because something wasn't part of any presidential campaign it somehow supports your opinion that the people who carrying out the instructions in the laws - is an explanation for how the president and cabinet don't have any real power.

We collectively are under attack, whether you voted for this administration doesn't make you the decider of that. We have an unconstitutional tyrant and petulant billionaire side kick running around like bulls in a china shop destroying our collective value.

I think the issue is more the FDA has hit compounding by announcing semaglutide and tirzepatide are no longer in shortage - so compounding pharmacies aren't legally able to sell the cheaper compounded versions. Since most insurances don't cover GLP-1 for weight loss, this is a huge issue given they cost almost $2000/month in the US out of pocket.

I was approved for semaglutide but now compounding pharmacies like Hims are stating their cheaper (<$200/month) compounded versions are out of stock.
If we apply this reasoning universally, should any sovereign nation engaged in war receive indefinite support as long as they are willing to fight?

Historical cases, such as the U.S. in Vietnam or the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, suggest that prolonged external backing can lead to drawn out conflicts with high costs and unintended consequences.

Is there a point at which the costs/economic, political, or humanitarian of indefinite support outweigh the intended benefits? How do you think such a threshold be determined?

I think one should _at least_ consider alternatives pathways to achieve a resolution.

China built so much housing they actually have an oversupply problem and housing prices finally went down, which is good for the people at the bottom end that want to buy housing. The people who bought as investments pushed back and now China is correcting back the other direction.

Interesting to see that play out and think about what kinds of housing we need to build to make it happen. Bay Area cities building a few 'below market rate' 6 story apartment buildings isn't going to cut it.

One other big factor to mention is that many places seem to ONLY sell what the US calls condos, ie each apartment is sold to an individual. I think this is a much better system.
Ok I'd been considering it already, but now I'm sold. I have the transit time of a canid.

Would 25.000 cars, 2%, really flow the market? I couldn't find number of used EV sales.

If you think the people who support Trump haven't heard this message, then I don't know what to tell you. They have also failed to hear what sounds to them like love-for-country, from the opposite side.

We can argue til the cows come home how true it is or not, but it has played a role in what we're seeing unfold.
We have worker rights to keep people from being exploited, and because losing your job can wreck your life. None of this applies to a wealthy CEO.

How many people lose their jobs every day in this country because they were slightly less than 100% obsequious to a customer or to their boss? And we just shrug. But one CEO gets fired because he doesn’t have the confidence of his workers and you lose your minds. Why are people so sympathetic to rich people who suffer a small setback? It’s bizarre.
record low vacancy is a statement about the country not any individual situation which might be different from the national situation.
The minute you save a little money and have a few investments it can start to become complicated quickly. Yet you don't have/make enough money to justify the expense of hiring a professional to properly sort it out. This actually can become a giant headache because it is difficult to be certain that you've done it correctly and not overpaid.

Sure, if you only have a W-2 then it is pretty simple. The issue is that over time people have a tendency to accrue other tax reportable activities as a function of age. It actively discourages people from making some types of potentially productive investments because of the additional tax complexity.
OK, but those entities presumably have some official representative and decision making process.

The first two goals aren't even true, mind you. One of the first things the GOP was looking to do was institute a new tax on workers to pay for a tax cut on businesses and the rich. And they want to cut all regulations for businesses, but keep it illegal for workers to unionize and exert power. The last three points are correct however.

Everything they say is double speak, you have to look at what they say and what they do.
This should be universal advice to everyone.

> Most Americans don't support Trump.

I didn't say "most americans", did I?

> And he's rapidly losing support within his own base

Weeks (and 3 nazi salutes) after he started, polls were showing that he would probably still be elected: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43206757.

I don't feel like I'm spreading propaganda by saying that the US don't seem very close to a civil war. A majority of the voters elected this government and apparently won't change their mind unless they are impacted personally.

> And he's rapidly losing support within his own base

That depends a lot on what you mean by "rapidly". Relative to how quickly he has destroyed the image of the US abroad, and to the damage he is making inside the country, I wouldn't say that some people from his own base finding that he is going slightly too far counts as "rapidly losing support within his own base".
When you look at Europe, they raise most of their taxes from the lower to middle classes, i.e. people like me. Through both higher income taxes and then a 20% VAT on most purchases you make with your post-tax earnings.

Here is an interesting paper (pdf warning) which on page 49 shows a very good visual of just how progressive the US tax system is compared to both Eastern and Western Europe. In Europe, the tax burden is much more evenly distributed across incomes.

Deepseek is great. What fundamentally prevents an open source coalition from producing great AI systems for everyone?
The point isn't to cause you to be angry like that; that is an unfortunate side effect.

I believe the point is to stop predatory pressure to sell parts of your body because you need money or something and someone with more money or power than you wants it. We have to make laws like this to prevent some people from abusing inequality to create systems that put people in a position where they need to decide if they should sell some part of themselves.

In a perfect world people should be able to make clear, informed decisions about what to do with their body. In this world we have to set some baselines to prevent exploitation and permanent harm because we know SOMEONE will do it otherwise.

As an extreme example, imagine if, instead of stealing some money through gift cards, scammers got grandma to give up one of her kidneys.
I do wonder just how large a revenue boost a lot of news outlets saw during the first Trump administration, and how much that played into how weirdly favorably they treated him in this campaign.

A solution is to build transportation first and build housing afterwards. In Japan, rail companies are also real estate developers who buy the land around the stations and capture the increased land value. US rail companies used to do the same.
China has one, apparently.
Condos in the US are broken and it’s largely due to how fees go up over time. Condo associations have been known to squeeze condo owners with increasing fees in the US. It’s why condominiums often have a bad reputation here.

There’s little regulation on condo fees and what the associations can do with said fees too. There’s a lot of horror stories about mismanagement and you’re only a vote away from an association being good to being bad too.

If condominium fees were predictable and the money spent required to be more transparent and disclosed I think it would go a long way
Cool! I did a similar thing with 4x4 tablets, after connecting all 16 of them to ADB and a single host I was able to automate most of the stuff. The I just created 16 virtual screens on sway with 16 VNC clients and streamed it all over Wi-Fi as a test, but Wi-Fi worked so well that I did not look for more efficient solutions.

For that period my PC had 19 displays, 17 of them over VNC and it was glorious. I could either do something on all of them, or dedicate each for a different purpose/program (music, htop, calendar, clock, ssh sessions)

Though dealing with all the hardware was quite annoying - some throttled, some had connectivity issues, others batteries would not hold charge and so on.
I want surgeons to decline any case that looks technically difficult. A better surgeon should handle those cases. I want them to decline cases where lots of preexisting conditions that put them at risk for complications after the surgery, too. I'm worried about surgeons who never decline cases, who are eager to cut and maximize profits. We need more malpractice lawsuits so that surgeons become more willing to decline cases.
Yeah, I agree. People really seem desperate to believe it all comes down to boogeyman adulterants, but it's a huge red herring and completely unnecessary for ending up with a culture of junk food, obesity, and calorie surplus.

Drop dough into frying oil and then roll it in powdered sugar.

Drop potato slices into frying oil and then salt them.

You don't need boogeyman R&D chemicals to make food that you can't stop eating. What changed is the accessibility of these things. You can go to 7-11 and buy thousands of calories of packaged donuts for dollars. Combined with there only being junk food in US quickmarts compared to, say, cheap bento boxes in Japanese 7-11.
> Why are so many people, who believe these things, crying about America being delegitimized?

Well for me personally it's because of empathy. The United States, as you rightly point out, was founded on slavery and genocide. I agree with you, and I would also add that the US is responsible for the deaths of millions globally in the past century (let's take Iraq and Vietnam, and I think you're already over a million). Generally a force for evil.

But a nation's citizens are not responsible for the actions of its government. They do not deserve to lose their homes in forest fires, have their children attend school hungry, go bankrupt on account of having cancer, be steeped in lifelong debt just to afford an education, lose their child in a school shooting, et cetera. What Elon Musk is doing will make those things much worse. That's why people are upset.
AI companies take people's work without permission. Some source has licenses or ELLA'S forbidding it, too. They don't care. So, that's not a fair claim.

Also, LLM's aren't very good at writing the kind of code that people need to steal. I doubt truly-valuable I.P. is usually laundered. I could see it happening to some one-of-a-kind, patented works.
