Not obvious to all. I have relatives who get all their “news” from a Facebook feed that’s heavily filtered to confirm their priors. They told me time and time again that Trump had disavowed Project 2025. The obviousness of his lies were not apparent to them. Yes, they should be better informed (believe me, I know) but they’re far from alone.

So that’s why it bugs me when I see someone say “he’s doing exactly what he said he’d do!” and the story quickly pivots to “well yes of course he specifically said he wasn’t going to do that but it was obvious he was lying”. A lot of people are living in vastly different information ecosystems, which is why the words coming out of a candidate’s mouth matter.
Is it using something like websockets to stream data?
Within the last few years I got a couple hundred bonus bucks back from the IRS as interest. Might've been a year where they were overhelmed and took significantly longer to cut the check that usual
The states had governed themselves for 150 years before the revolution (same age as USA in 1930s), they weren't going to give that up. Also overlooked is that the states had different religions and spoke different languages. We assume they were destined to unite only in retrospect and forget how improbable it actually was.
As I said in my sibling comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43227619), this stuff has been by far the most-discussed on HN in recent weeks. Nothing else comes close.

I I listed 49 threads in that post. If we throw in the thread you mention (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43208973), that's 50 threads with over 30k comments.

That's an underestimate though, since the list is far from comprehensive. Let's conservatively bump the number up to 40k comments. That's over 1000 comments a day and well over 10% of the total comments that have been posted to HN during this period.

From my perspective that's not the same as "letting it go by".
There will always be people who go much faster than the design speed. They are ignoring their and everyone else's safety.

Those people don't care about speed limits, in part because they are generally set significantly too low. This has the effect of normalizing the scofflaws' attitude even when carried to a genuinely reckless extreme.

Conversely, if you raise the speed limit to the 85th percentile, anyone exceeding it significantly will stand out enough to catch easily.

Speeding is a victimless crime anyway. If you hit something or someone, you were doing something wrong besides speeding.
Yeah ChatGPT is truly the worst. Claude has been consistently much better. Grok 3 is surprising me every day.
No one has actually explained why they need to take a screenshot of a movie. This argument about using your computer how you want doesn’t make any sense.

And you making an account to say this comes off as even more desperate and agenda pushy.
BluAnon in full effect I see.
Seems to me like that's a similar approach but a consumption tax is easier for everyone to understand and would be therefore more palatable to the public. Also the consumption tax would have a similar affect of taxing people proportional to the amount of damage they're doing to the environment. For example, we want a big tax on Rolexes but making a watch doesn't really do that much carbon consumption.
I’d suggest your viewpoint is a pretty sheltered one. Many people (relatives of mine included, sadly) marinate in a stew of social media algorithms showing them things that confirm their priors and they aren’t exposed to any oppositional media.

Perhaps they don’t deserve a vote. But if they don’t then a lot of voters don’t deserve a vote. And maybe we ought to be asking ourselves “what systems have we set up that have led to such wildly underinformed voters? Are there things we can do to rectify that?” rather than just give up on a significant section of the population. Much easier to write it off as a person’s individual failure than consider it as a societal issue.

(not to mention, “they don’t deserve a vote” doesn’t say a whole lot. They still have a vote even if we decide they’re undeserving. We’re all in it together, like it or not)
While I agree with you, in my experience it's important for the security answers to be pronunceable. Otherwise some CS will just wave them away as being gibberish.

So I generate random answers but them modify it so that it's somewhat pronunceable.

> Back in the day much was said about Bush's "historically low" approval ratings too.

George W. Bush's initial approval ratings were technically historically low, but were 57% gross approval, and +32% net; the lowest (from Eisenhower forward) prior was his immediate predecessor at 58% gross and +38% net.

But that's nothing like Trump's "historically low" initial ratings this term, at 48% gross, -1% net, which also dropped by mid-February to 45% gross, -6% net (with a majority -- 51% -- registering disapproval.)

Learning a new language for the sake of learning a new language might be why they asked.
Name me 5 executive orders by Trump which, combined, disrupt normal economic affairs by as much as that single one.

As for the broader efforts, the New Deal required various things like reinterpreting the Commerce Clause. Look up "the switch in time which saved nine" for why the Supreme Court went along with it.

Not to mention things like the internment of Japanese-Americans during WW 2.

No, FDR was the closest thing we've had to a king. There is a reason why the 22nd amendment was passed so quickly after he died.
It does not have to do with that, no. The reason is that more and more people are seeking exemptions for their kids [1]:

> The share of kids exempted from vaccine requirements rose to 3.3%, up from 3% the year before. Meanwhile, 92.7% of kindergartners got their required shots, which is a little lower than the previous two years. Before the COVID-19 pandemic the vaccination rate was 95%, the coverage level that makes it unlikely that a single infection will spark a disease cluster or outbreak.

It's weird that I've never been overweight and you describe basically how I normally feel.

I've never felt hungry in the morning. I've never eaten a lot. When I was younger, I often forced myself to eat more, because I felt bad about how I wasn't "big enough" (which feels silly now as a proper adult).

Impulse buying food and snacking is something I only do if I haven't eaten for a long time, i.e. if I'm actually very hungry.

If I go out drinking, I also make a point not to eat very much before or during the drinking, because otherwise I just feel sick after like one beer.
That ship already sailed. Do you see Trump’s USA upholding their NATO obligations to defend other nations?

The only thing that US bases in the EU are doing at the moment is contributing to the local economies. Expecting anything more is magical thinking.

Gen X calls it "in flow". The appeal with vibe coding is it's one of the few ways you can be in flow when programming.
Depends. I tried Ozempic and felt fine but every time I bumped up the dose I’d feel a vague feeling of dread, until I got to the max dosage then I didn’t lose any weight but also felt like I was going to die at any moment. It was bad. I discontinued usage then immediately went back to 300 pounds from 260.

Zepbound/Mounjaro on the other hand has been fantastic. I just noticed I was hurting my muscles a lot and realized it was because I was losing muscle mass. I started taking protein shakes and that seems to have fixed it. Wish I’d realize it sooner as I’ve hurt my hip joint and can’t ride my bike which was primarily how I was exercising, so I need to go to physical therapy. I’m on 10mg and frozen at 260, have an appointment to go to the next dosage on Monday. Hopeful I’ll keep losing weight and get down to around 200.
I don't think a failed attempt at court reform (ideologically motivated or no) from almost a century ago is very convincing evidence that this is typical practice on both sides of the aisle.

> there was a lot of overlap in the mission statements of 18F and USDS, and it wasn't clear why both existed

And now neither of them exist (the vast majority of what once was USDS is gone, and what remains has been converted into "DOGE").

I don't know what the quotes around "abolishing a government agency" indicate -- those words weren't used previously in this thread.
I can think of two factors. First, some direct costs could be prohibited. But more importantly, to make this work universities would need to restructure to make all of their services fee-based, and researchers would need to allocate these fees item by item in their proposals. Which seems doable, but is no way to run an efficient operation. Even if the bottom line looked the same, the value to NIH and taxpayers would be far worse due to the inefficiency.

I don't think currencies work the way you seem to be implying. While there are certainly economic advantages to being the currency everyone trades in (in particular for your ability to finance your way out of a recession with less impact on your currencies value), I don't think it is the source of any long term difference in economic strength, this has more to do (imo) with government policies and such. See e.g,. the wikipedia article on the resource curse.

Online propaganda seems to have been using AI since circa 2020. There’s no way all of those comments were natural, particularly the pro-US ones.
That’s only the incentive if they’re recluses living in their last house. Many such cases.

But if they own a $500,000 house and want to sell it to buy a $750,000 house, then a 10% increase in house prices costs them $25,000 net.

Limited supply limits their options. They’re less likely to find a perfect fit and more likely to have to compromise.
Housing destroys the environment, uglifies the world, and a generation later, housing is just as expensive as it was before. Why? Because humans breed and overrun their habitats. Housing costs keep neighborhoods livable and the population from exploding. Say no to traffic, say no to killing the earth. Say no to housing expansion.

This is the kind of thing you should probably just do, not seek buy-in for from whoever chooses what you should work on. Unless it is going to take some extreme amount of time.
I think you're right. I've seen so many conservatives online relish in hatred as illegal immigrants are shipped to Guantamo, as trans people are purged from government and the military and stripped of HRT, as Trump called Zelensky a dictator and threatens to seize Greenland and annex Canada, as agencies are gutted, and puts out AI slop of Gaza turned into a billionaire's resort with golden statues of Trump and Bibi, as Bannon and Musk sieg hieled.. it's all wildly popular.

I have no empathy for such people. If they run the country into the ground, I just hope they suffer too.
Elon Musk is the "popular will" in your thinking?

How is an unelected billionaire a representative of the people?

Maybe he's a symptom of the "burn it all down" mindset that seems to find outlet through Trump, a mindset I have sympathy for, but in the end, he's just another elite who is trying to subvert the government for his own ends.
Two years ago I was some 7-8kg beyond my target weight range. I started calorie cutting, and filling myself with salads etc before each meal. Also added some more changes like taking longer times to eat. I used to, and sadly back to it, eat in a flash. Initially it was hard so increased a bit and then a bit and then in a few days it was stabilised at a calorie intake point which was still significantly below my normal need. And in next few days it dropped further. So next 3-4 months when I was watching calories and trying to keep in check - I didn't have to worry about eating less calories, but I had to worry about taking sufficient calories. Because surprisingly I stopped feeling hungary even eating lesser calories.

I am talking about being okay in 900-1000 while my normal need was ~2500 and nutritionist had suggested to target around 2000 for first few weeks then bring it down to 15-1600 and then slowly bring it up near normal as weight settled. But by the end of 2nd week or 3rd I was struggling to finish 900-1000. I used to kinda force eat.

There was no medication involved in any way (not for this purpose; not for anything else).

Presumably Ireland. Because it doesn't fit Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

Wait, it doesn't even fit Ireland.

Unless they were talking about population? Then maybe NZ would fit. Is there a New York neighbourhood with 5 million people?
> Seems to me like that's a similar approach but a consumption tax is easier for everyone to understand and would be therefore more palatable to the public.

There is a false assumption here, that easy to understand makes it more palatable. A flat capitation would be even easier to understand, and even less palatable, because the ease of understanding is directly connected, in its case, to the ease of opponents organizing against it. A flat consumption tax faces a similar problem, which is why the efforts to push one to replace the income and payroll taxes for decades now under the label "Fair Tax" have been unsuccessful -- easy to understand isn't a political benefit when people who understand it often don't like what they understand.
Probably both. I'll admit to be layperson in all this, but deepseek is pretty impressive. Even if they have used more compute than they claimed, this part of article you linked didn't age well judging by reviews of 4.5 :D

This article examines the emerging paradigm shift in scientific discovery driven by the convergence of quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and molecular-scale manufacturing. We propose a comprehensive framework for understanding how these once-disparate disciplines are evolving into an integrated ecosystem, capable of autonomous scientific inquiry and innovation—a phenomenon we term the "Cognitive Singularity." Through an in-depth analysis of recent experimental breakthroughs and theoretical advances up to 2025, we demonstrate how quantum-enhanced AI systems, when coupled with programmable matter at the nanoscale, are fundamentally transforming both the pace and the nature of scientific progress. This integration is already revolutionizing a spectrum of fields, from materials science and biomedicine to sustainable energy production, precision medicine, and climate remediation. We also explore the profound epistemological, ethical, and governance challenges posed by systems that operate with minimal human oversight, and propose updated frameworks for responsible innovation in this era of accelerated discovery.

> These kinds of experiences have completely shattered any credibility that mainstream scientific establishment has for me.

Is it true that a letter to a magazine has shattered the credibility of papers such as TIGR-Tas: A family of modular RNA-guided DNA-targeting systems in prokaryotes and their viruses for you?

That seems ... oddly fragile.
Almost certainly that's a component.

Still, I wish someone would make a clone of the Adobe Animate program that directly exports to WASM, with all the artsy bells and whistles that I loved about it. Specifically, I would like something that I don't have to pay a monthly fee for forever. It was my first "real" experience with writing code, and I know I'm far from alone with that.

Pico8 and Game Maker and GDevelop and Scirra Construct are still fun, so it's not like there's a shortage of game making toolkits for younger people to get into this stuff. I just miss Flash in particular.
In real job, especially in the senior software engineering role, you are expected to know _a lot_ of knowledge specific to the company - "ETL job works fastest with narrow tables", "our backend struggles with Foo table, so it's better to minimize the access...", "latest version of componentX is buggy", and so on. The kind of things AIs, which only have the stale public internet knowledge, cannot handle. That's why they are hiring people after all.

Of course it's impossible to test the company-internal knowledge during the interview, so there are approximations. The company that wanted to hire you gave you a knowledge test using public data. You did not demonstrate that you can internalize knowledge, so you failed.

(FWIW I think that take-home tests were rather useless, because of the cheating, and they became even more useless in ChatGPT era. Today, if a company wants to test candidate's ability to learn and apply new things, they'll need to come up with a new test. Sadly, I don't know a good solution for this)

This depends upon the approach. The person you replied to mentioned inertial confinement. If this is used, we'll get pulses that each need to be triggered (with energy gain). Other approaches (e.g. conventional tokamaks) aim to produce a continuous stream of energy.
Since Netflix never (edit: rarely) releases Blu-Rays for their original content, there's no source to produce high-quality versions of their 4K content right? Could be wrong but I thought webrips that screen capture are relatively low quality because they're reencoding a video that's already being compressed for streaming.

Don't know if I notice these things much personally but if someone already cares about 1080p vs 4K they probably would.
The general answer is "represent it in the type system". That's typically via discriminated unions like Rust's Result, or something which emulates it (such as OneOf or Dunet for C#, although it will be a native part of the language soon).

Pattern matching, nullable types, and the Try* method conventions are also ways of representing the potential for failure explicitly.
> And now neither of them exist (the vast majority of what once was USDS is gone, and what remains has been converted into "DOGE").

Do any of the old USDS staff survive? I don't know. USDS acting administrator, Amy Gleason, used to work for USDS under the Trump and Biden admins, so it sounds like there is still room for "old USDS" staff in "new USDS" – if they are happy to be there, and if the new administration is happy to have them.

And I don't think DOGE's remit is completely distinct from that of USDS. Of course, DOGE is a lot broader in scope than USDS, but according to Executive Order 14158 which established it, a big part of its mission is software modernization–same as old USDS was–and DOGE staff appear to include a number of software engineers, which also aligns with that mission.

> I don't know what the quotes around "abolishing a government agency" indicate -- those words weren't used previously in this thread.

You asked the question "Which government agencies have been targeted by Democrats for being too conservative?" – which seems to put 18F in the category of "government agencies" - if it isn't one in some sense, then the question isn't asking for a relevant comparator. And the title of this thread is "GSA Eliminates 18F", and "eliminates" is a synonym of "abolition". So, the premise of your question implies "abolishing a government agency". Which in a sense abolishing 18F is, since it was sort-of-kind-of a government agency – but strictly speaking it isn't, since strictly it wasn't – hence the quotes.

A good part of that would be because GPS satellites orbit considerably higher than all LEO stuff, at approx 20,000 km, so everything in low earth orbit is almost equally as blanketed in valid GPS signal as things at 0 meters MSL on the ground on a beach.

Something orbiting at 550 km is approx 0.027 of the total orbital altitude of a 20,200 km orbit NAVSTAR series GPS satellite.
