> Doesn't the US already have a military presence there?

Not anymore. What was Thule air base got converted to a space force early warning type base. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituffik_Space_Base

> Which other country would be obsessed with Greenland?

China is obsessed with Greenland, which is why the US now is. You can find many articles on China’s interest in Greenland, going back years (before Trump). Some even suggest that China has been looking to get more infrastructure contracts there to control Greenland through debt.

For the US and EU, preventing China’s access to the Arctic is important. But also Greenland happens to have rare earth deposits, which are useful because China is going to hold back supply of various resources like rare earths and titanium.
When it was screened to critics it was shown as the full season. I get why now; the latest episodes show so much while conjuring up more questions. The most recent one especially; the cinematography stands on its own. It's very rewarding to continue watching!

> Been waiting for that economic collapse for 3 years. How many more Ukrainian men must die before we get it? How many more are you okay with dying?

What possibly leads you to believe that Ukraine capitulating will end Russia's push to kill Ukrainians? Russia is engaging in a massive ethnic cleansing campaign, as documented in cases such as Bucha. Do you honestly believe that will stop if Ukraine surrendered as Trump is demanding them to?

Try to think about it: why do you think Zelenski is so adamant in demanding security guarantees?
Is there some kind of database for stuff like this, where people can report abusive products? That would be a great way to avoid such things while also naming and shaming companies who do it.
The author talks about the effort of hosting something more heavyweight like Gitlab. Having recently decided to self-host a Gitea instance, I was happy to find how ridiculously easy it is to get this up and running.

I'm not hosting this on the public Internet, so maybe it's not a fair comparison, but thought it was worth mentioning that there are lighter/easier forge options than Gitlab.
That's exactly why I've been using Fossil exclusively for new projects, and have been (very slowly) migrating existing ones over as well. It ain't like my FOSS projects get a whole lot of outside contributions anyway (though I've been tinkering a bit with bidirectional Git syncs so that people can submit GitHub PRs / GitLab MRs / generic Git bundles / etc. in those rare cases).
The left doesn't have a meaningful presence in American politics.

Just say "Democrats" if that's what you mean.
First of all, that letter is from Karp, not Thiel.

And your reading of this letter, and Huntington's theory of the clash of civilizations, is absurdly alarmist and misleading. I'm not saying Huntington was correct but he's not some fringe far-right nutjob hoping for a "vicious race war".

Each race is only sampled once. But he runs the same methodology on hundreds of races. If the candidates he gives an X% chance to win go on to win approximately X% of the time, the methodology is reliable.
I distinctly remember listening to Limbaugh make fun of Trump while riding in a truck with my dad in the late ‘90s. Most of my image of the guy up until his run in 2016 actually came from people making fun of what an awful person and terrible businessman he was, and I probably heard more of that from conservatives than liberals, even. Like, he’s obviously a clown with sleazy used car salesman energy. Everybody knew, of course, because it’s so easy to see, and nobody denied it, it was assumed fact any time anyone talked about the guy.

Fast forward a couple decades and he’s god-king of the right. My dad, who also personally told me things about what a shitty person Trump was, back then, loves the guy and thinks he’s good at everything.

It’s so weird.
Same reason I like wireless headphones. It makes wires a non-issue a majority of the time.

Carrying around a charging brick sucks. Now you have to get a table at the cafe by the wall. Or hope the airplane power is functional.

I want to bring my laptop to work, not think about charging it, and not worry about what I'm doing on the laptop throughout the day (video calls, compiling, etc.)
- Asus Zenbook Duo (2024) is a very interesting form factor. https://www.asus.com/ca-en/laptops/for-home/zenbook/asus-zen...

- Framework reviews are important to figure out the current generation. I tried one out and it had few issues other than me not having the time to tweak it how I wanted. Hardware was great, battery wasn't great at that time (needed simple software optimizations), but Framework now has larger batteries too that seem to have resolved that. The folks I know with them have mostly switched from Mac or X1 Carbons to Frameworks and quite happy with it.

- Specifically for travel, the recently announced Framework 12" looks really inviting if travel looks like the way to go.

To run an LLM on either, some amount of extra ram might help, depending on the model... if you want something heavier it might be cheaper to run a model privately in the cloud as needed, or use an eGPU and plug it in when you want. Local LLM use seems to be fun, but having something at home running it so it's accessible seems serviceable too.
>I think there’s a stronger argument that those polls were intended to suppress Trump voters into thinking they were not the majority (when in fact they were).

Show your work. What evidence do you have to support that argument?
Glad to see the UI on the screen looks different than the current system. Software is by far the major flaw in the ID line.

I think that’s just being an adult
System76 laptops are rebranded Clevo devices (a Taiwanese white-label ODM). Even by non-Mac laptop standards, they are known for subpar build quality, reliability, and battery life.

I would pick a Framework over a Clevo, any day. And Framework has tons of paper cut issues - I’m not leaving my MacBook for high security work with Framework’s track record for firmware updates.
US does not force any of the deal onto Ukraine, thus not violating the deal. US has negotiated a deal and offered it to Ukraine, who, in their full right, have not signed on.

US is still a reliable partner - which is why many countries continue to be in partnership with it. Fact is, US had made no promise to protect Ukraine.
Anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron.

Capitalism creates hierarchies. Anarchy is a rejection of hierarchies, because it creates rulers.

I’m happy for you that you can afford to plop $25K down for a car.
Republicans have aligned themselves with Russia. The "West" is now the enemy.
You do realize nobody wanted to do that, and Putin's aggressive thuggery is 100% the reason why Russia has been isolated. Cultivating an invader doesn't make sense for anyone.
I don't think your link is comparable. Air quality data is not a high profile valued thing.

But it does sound "woke" and outside of what an incompetent know-nothing would say that the State Department shouldn't touch.

The "funding constraint" is almost certainly trying to rid embassies of the wokeness of monitoring pollution.
> We introduce the concept of Mutual Assured AI Malfunction (MAIM): a deterrence regime resembling nuclear mutual assured destruction (MAD) where any state’s aggressive bid for unilateral AI dominance is met with preventive sabotage by rivals.

This is incorrect. Their novel idea here is approximately Stuxnet, while MAD is quite different at "if you try to kill us we'll make sure to kill you too".
> No. Your data isn't worth that much.

There's a multi-billion dollar a year industry around the buying and selling of it. Every single company you've ever interacted with in any way is going out of their way to collect and store every scrap of your data they can get their hands on and you can bet that it isn't because it isn't worth much. It's worth a lot.

The data collection isn't even about ads. Ads are what they want you think it's for because nobody cares about which ads they see. They'll sometimes sell your data to advertisers, they will even use it for advertising themselves, but the data being collected about you is being used for all kinds of things. It's increasingly used to set the prices you pay, the policies companies hold you to, even how long they leave you on hold when you call them.

Car companies in particular want to sell your data to insurance companies who will jack up your rates depending on where, when, and how you drive. Your location data is highly valuable for all kinds of reasons and where you drive to, when, how often, and how long you stay there can tell them a lot. Car companies are selling our location data to police departments and federal agencies. Some cars are even collecting video and audio of everything that happens in and around the cars.

A car is a one time purchase. Until recently they got your money once and had to wait until you got another car to make money off of you. By collecting your data and using it against you, or selling that data (often as a subscription service) for others to use against you, it means that you never really stop paying for the car. You'll pay again and again for as long as you have the car.

Mine is in a dedicated home theatre room so it absolutely could be a projector, but modern OLEDs are pretty insane for contrast; I think it’s worth it.
These people are actors, not tech people. Apple TV probably gave them the best deal when they were selling their show. It really is as simple as that, the people creating these shows have consultants in the tech-industry, but this is acting. There are a ton of Apple TV exclusives, and they are getting paid very well. You have companies like Paramount+ that will start to fund a show, then pull the plug (it's not tech, but the Comedy Central show Workaholics had hired an entire crew and was 5 weeks away from making their movie with Paramount+, and they pulled the plug).

Entertainment is far removed from tech, and I find it funny that such intelligent people from HN would ever think that a Hollywood produced show could ever make it concentrating only on the tech world, leaving everyone else that pays for these services wondering what anyone is talking about.

Sorry but reading Volkswagen and "crappy products" in the same sentence means either you never drove one or you've got very high standards, but then you're happy with BYD...

These new Chinese cars are literally flooding the market with the usual way we are used nowadays to think: buy cheap, change again in 2 years. (Which we didn't do before this cheap manufacturing existed.)

In this context it makes totally sense.

Cars, though, at least how we're used to think, are made to last. A car is not just a bunch of features, it's also a lot about the quality of the components, and there are videos showing how poor BYD quality is. If you're happy with that, that's OK.

I am very doubtful that one could manufacture a $10k (USD) car, have some tiny amount of profit margin on it, and still meet federal dual airbag, crash test safety standards. The extremely affordable cars sold in India for example would never meet US/Canadian road standards.

I love how all these European politicians wants US to send more money and weapons to Ukraine while thier own individual contributions are significantly lower.

If they want to fight so bad, why not spend more % of their own gdp, especially French and Germany who are close to the situation.

> Germany's Merz seems to know whats going on, but is still trying to be veeeery diplomatic about it.

They literally have no other option. If they could continue war on thier own, they won't be "trying to be veeeery diplomatic about it"
This argument relies on false equivalence and a straw man. It compares accusations of being a "Russian agent" to U.S. alignments with Islamists, but the two are not analogous. It also presents a false dilemma by asking if the U.S. is "captured" by Islamists, ignoring more complex geopolitical factors. Additionally, it implies causation (U.S. involvement leading to Islamist takeovers) without considering other historical influences. While the argument raises a valid point about shifting alliances, it does so using misleading rhetorical techniques.
Meh. If you work at Apple (likely as a software engineer given the audience), then you're likely in the top 1% of earners. That means you have more optionality than almost anyone else finance wise. If you're not able to make the changes you need to live a fulfilling life, that's a you problem. And by that, I mean that you have agency, you just need to act upon it and stop being scared.
I really enjoyed 538 in its heyday, and am glad to see Nate carry on with some of the work. I know he can be a polarizing in some circles, but keeping the data angle visible helps smooth some of the rougher edges of following politics sometimes.

Would make sense if it was the executive trying to get more money allocated out of Congress. In this case, the money is allocated but the executive is choosing not to spend it "for government efficiency."
> Weakening Russia's military without imploding the government has always been the obvious goal.

True, but the collective West would do much better if the volume of support allowed Ukraine to furtherincrease Russia's attrition rate. Knocking down the Crimean bridge alone would wreak havoc to Crimea's logistics.

Yeah, you don't have to put up with all the shade cast on someone who "just needs a technical co-founder". So negative. Just keep "re-rolling" long enough, and you can hire a lowly first employee instead and have them deal with the mess!
I completely agree with point 6, obviously these microbenchmarks are not representative of much of anything, I was just trying to check my assumptions on some of this stuff.

Just so I'm understanding correctly, being against the forceful sending of men to the frontline is 'Russian propaganda'?

Nate Silver has shifted his politics very far to the right. That's simply a fact. He used to do reports on polling in which his math was straightforward and very reasonable, and back around 2016 he gave the public a good education about what probability actually meant -- in particular, he performed a real service by reminding people that "a 66% chance of winning" does not mean a person is going to win, it actually means one-third of the time they will lose. But nowadays Nate Silver argues on Twitter in favor of whatever Peter Thiel is doing, even as Peter Thiel endorses a completely illegal coup aimed at destroying the USA.

I’ve been following the progress Intel Arc support in Pytorch is making, at least in Linux, and it seems like if things stay on track, we may see the first version of pytorch with full Xe/Arc support by around June.

Donald Trump has never been a free speech absolutist. He does like to stir people up about "free speech" though, particularly when it's something he wants to say, but that doesn't turn him into an absolutist.

That’s a different conversation. The OP was arguing 2.5X the price solely to support union wages.
There plan that passed the house is to reduce income tax on households that make over $360000 annually. So we're shifting that burden to consumers who spend a much larger percentage of their income on the goods subject to tariffs? And why tariff our good allies instead of enemies?
I have a feeling that the net flow of contraband across the Canadian border is northward, giving the Canadian Fentanyl Czar the opportunity to clown on Trump by imprisoning Americans.

Would tariffs affect higher-income folks (imported goods) vs low-income (local food/shelter/clothing)?

Wonder if there's a non-partisan/non-biased website that could give a clear picture
A lot of authoritarian countries label themselves as governments of the people and their figurehead as a brave warrior leading a permanent revolution against the ruling class.

Even when their figurehead has held onto power for several decades and executes 12 year olds who write "this gov sux LOL" on a bathroom wall for being a dissident, they keep claiming to be leading an uphill fight against some mysterious power above and half the country keeps loving them.

People love an underdog story. Frame yourself as a permanent underdog, even when you're not, and half of nearly any given country will love you. America now has people with hundreds of billions of dollars claiming to be oppressed underdogs. It should be insane. But people believe it. They'll believe it 20 years from now, too.
That's because there aren't many Norwegians and Norway has a lot of oil. It's one of the few countries where they can afford to do so.

Again, the real world isn’t that simplistic. Look at the way that’s worked in the past, and remind yourself that all of those guys thought they were also smart and onto a brilliant move.
You two agree on what the right claims its position is. However, the Republicans are passing a bill called "Take It Down" that the Republican President told a joint session of congress he intends to use specifically to remove speech against him. This is clearly not demonstrative of a "free as in anarchy" position on speech.

Same thing happened with Elon Musk. When taking over Twitter, he described himself as a "free speech absolutist," which is the same as "free as in anarchy," but in practice he bans speech against his interest liberally, for example automatically removing any post that uses the word "cisgender," but also deleting tweets from reporters that he dislikes.
There are a few anti billboard ads in some states. There are also safety standards that should be applied here (probably won't - they won't even kill the touch screen). Tobacco ads are illegal.

I think perhaps you meant "free speech absolutists", as "absolution" is the act of forgiving someone for their sins or wrongdoing.
My thoughts too. This product was in the pipeline maybe 2-3 years ago. Maybe with LLMs getting popular a year ago they tried to fit more memory but it’s almost impossible to do that that close to a launch. Especially when memory is fused not just a module you can swap.

Devine's work on these projects along with the language that it is written in Uxntal https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/uxntal.html is nothing short of astounding and frankly a much healthier sustainable way of computing. They created the language after getting tired of the endless dependency chain massive language stacks that are required to make ios apps, electron/web apps etc. Having a set of applications that is only a few kb in size and source code that fits in one file could mean that this stack will stick around for decades to come. Their way of viewing sustainability in computing has brought back some passion that's been drained out of me by this industry. Rek and Devine's joint website is also a joy to behold https://100r.co/site/about.html
