You have the wrong idea about propaganda: most people don't use propaganda to make decisions, they use it as talking points to signal what kind of person they are. Politics are an aesthetic that most people wear, because at least in US, most people have the luxury to be immune for the most part from the federal government affecting them in tangible ways (this is also why this election was decided by 200 out of 350 million people that didn't vote).

So when you hear hardcore republicans talk about all the bad things that democrats are doing, its not that they believe that democrats are bad because they are doing those things, its that they fundamentally believe that democrats are intrinsically bad, and are using the talking points just to signal what kind of person they are.

This is why when republicans do the exact same stuff its either "fake news" or "different".

The only way to fight such ignorance, as ridiculous as it sounds, is ironically the opposite. You want to accelerate "propaganda" to the point where Republicans degrade the way of life in US to a point where people can't lead their lives day to day anymore without worrying about things like social unrest, lack of food, war, e.t.c.
Actually economic profit is an indicator of market inefficiency. Demand is what tells you that you’re selling something of value. Extended profits mean competition hasn’t caught up yet. It has nothing to do with good or bad. If there is profit to be made in a market, firms will enter until it reaches an equilibrium where profit is 0, then when it becomes overcrowded and firms are losing money, they leave the market. This is why anticompetitive business practices are so successful at generating profits, and at the same time are so horribly bad for the free market. In an efficient market, profits converge towards zero.
Don't publish things in public if you don't want them on the cover of a newspaper. This is a fundamental lesson of the internet we all need to deeply internalize.
I remember so desperately wanting a 3DFX card and not being able to afford one (I was 13).

I agree that the washed-out textures haven’t aged well.

But at the time, not having pixelated textures was the first thing people looked at when judging graphics quality. I remember that being a HUGE selling point of the N64 and something that made the console look almost a generation ahead of the PlayStation and Sega Saturn to kids back then.

Today, I think I prefer the PSX look, thoug. Maybe with Z-buffer correction to avoid the warped textures of the PlayStation.
I just did my math (because I was curious, not out of doubt) and it came out to $0.33 per espresso -- $20 for a 2 pound bag of beans from the grocery store @ 15g per "double shot" using the stock basket that came with the machine.

True, I'm not using 'premium' beans and probably doing it wrong but it works for me. Add in 'natural spring water' and 6oz of chocolate milk and I doubt it gets over $0.75.

Show HN: Fun Little Project to Show the News as Comics Strips

Homosexuality is not transgenderism. A homosexual man can still identify as a man and be attracted to men. Being attracted to a man doesn't make them equivalent to a transwoman.

Also conventional gender roles change over time, and vary by culture, because gender is performance. It used to be conventional for men to wear high heels and makeup and kiss each other on the mouth, and sexual relationships between men weren't always considered transgressive of masculine norms.

At least in Austria, this seems to be a recent phenomenon, and limited to "fancy" coffee places. I was surprised the first time I saw the barista throw away half the coffee when I ordered an espresso.

I don't have statistics, but I think that single spout portafilters are still common in traditional Austrian cafes. I agree that you can't perfectly dial in the grinder for both single and double shot, but only a minority of people care about James Hoffmann levels of perfection and outside of speciality coffee shops nobody drinks light roasts.

One curious thing I saw in a bar in Italy that their machine had a much smaller diameter portafilter, so they can make a 7g shot without these conical sieves.

There has been a bit of a shortwave revival in recent years, with activities like POTA (Parks on the Air) and SOTA (Summits on the Air) getting people back onto the HF bands. For those unfamiliar, POTA encourages people to get out to State and National parks, set up a portable radio (usually shortwave), and make as many contacts as they can in a short time. If you make 10 contacts, you’ve “activated” the park. The activator submits their logs to the website, and everyone they talked to gets credit for “hunting” that park.

Whoever designed the POTA website… it’s uncharacteristically brilliant for the amateur radio community. There are gazillions of metrics you can track about which parks you’ve hunted and which ones you’ve activated, progress bars for every state, all sorts of awards and “achievements” for various operating times, modes, repeats, etc.

It’s turned portable shortwave operating into gamified crack, except these are real skills that are valuable during an emergency. Having the equipment is one thing, but the regular practice of knowing how to quickly set it up and operate it anywhere is invaluable.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Commercial transatlantic flight picked up after WW2 in the 50s. By the 1970s it was fairly common. A lot of that came from rocketry research and INS.
My experience so far on Claude 3.7 has been over-engineered solutions that are brittle. Sometimes they work, but usually not precisely the way I prompted it to, and often attempts to modify them require more refactoring due to the unnecessary complexity.

This has been the case so far in both js for web (svelte, react) and python automation.

I feel like 3.5 generally came up "short" more often than 3.7, but in practical usage it meant I could more easily modify and build on top of. 3.7 has led to a lot of deconstructing, reprompting, starting over.
I really liked stars and snargs, challenging and fun.
Yep, all very true.

I spent most of my childhood believing that homosexuality was unnatural, inherently sinful, and entirely unique to humans, because that's the spiel that the local Southern Baptist preachers were selling. The same is true for things we call "gender roles." Some male animals act in ways we once reflexively associated with females of their species, and vice versa.

I'll edit the comment to remove the reference to homosexuality, though, because that point wasn't especially clear or useful.

How NOT to f-up your security incident response
The key here is "under your guidance". LLM's are a major productivity boost for many kinds of jobs, but can LLM-based agents be trusted to act fully autonomously for tasks with real world consequence? I think the answer is still no, and will be for a long time. I wouldn't trust LLM to even order my groceries without review, let alone push code into production.

To reach anything close to definition of AGI, LLM agents should be able to independently talk to customers, iteratively develop requirements, produce and test solutions, and push them to production once customers are happy. After that, they should be able to fix any issues arising in production. All this without babysitting / review / guidance from human devs, reliably

Nvidia's k own evilness notwithstanding, I'd like to chip in with my experience trying to switch to o AMD: basically, the drivers were trash on windows and even worse on Linux, where they'd glitch out and not recover (at least windows does a "turn it off and back on again" at the driver level to work around it - and I could probably nearly mimic that except that running apps would also be taken down by the X restart)

When that GPU (EVGA, no less) suddenly decided not to turn on its own fans to cool itself, I switched right back to team green. At least shit works there. AMD's open source drivers never delivered the performance or reliability that they promised, and I ran out of fux to give - I just wanna jam a game with friends.

Not to mention AMD can't compete with RTX.

I'd love them to compete, and I'm rooting for Intel too, but at the end of the day, Nvidia's tactics aren't the only things keeping people with team green. Gamers want to game, not troubleshoot shitty crashing drivers.

Practically or functionally? Airbnb was invented by people posting on craigslist message boards, and even existed before the Internet, if you had rich friends with spare apartments. But by packaging it up into an online platform it became a company with 2.5 billion in revenue last year. So you can dismiss ordering from a screen instead of looking at a piece of paper and using the phone as not being revolutionary, because of you squint, they're the same thing, but I can now order take out for restaurants I previously would never have ordered from, and Uber Eats generated $13.7 billion in revenue last year, up from 12.2.

GPS signals from low attitudes improve accuracy (to a point) because they provide much better triangulation. You want low attitude GPS satellites. You also don't want to lose signal every time the receiver tips, like when going up/down slight hills.
How about "commonsense" instead?

Everything in macroeconomics is a belief, because it is clearly far from a hard science.

Common sense always applies to some degree when it is based on logic. Also my belief is that a system where there is no limits on government spending and debt seems obviously unstable and likely to become infinitely corrupt.
I think it's important to note that a primary motivation of the tail call interpreter design is to be less vulnerable to the whims of the optimizer. From my original blog article about this technique (https://blog.reverberate.org/2021/04/21/musttail-efficient-i...):

> Theoretically, this control flow graph paired with a profile should give the compiler all of the information it needs to generate the most optimal code [for a traditional switch()-based interpreter]. In practice, when a function is this big and connected, we often find ourselves fighting the compiler. It spills an important variable when we want it to keep it in a register. It hoists stack frame manipulation that we want to shrink wrap around a fallback function invocation. It merges identical code paths that we wanted to keep separate for branch prediction reasons. The experience can end up feeling like trying to play the piano while wearing mittens.

That second-to-last sentence is exactly what has happened here. The "buggy" compiler merged identical code paths, leading to worse performance.

The "fixed" compiler no longer does this, but the fix is basically just tweaking a heuristic inside the compiler. There's no actual guarantee that this compiler (or another compiler) will continue to have the heuristic tweaked in the way that benefits us the most.

The tail call interpreter, on the other hand, lets us express the desired machine code pattern in the interpreter itself. Between "musttail", "noinline", and "preserve_none" attributes, we can basically constrain the problem such that we are much less at the mercy of optimizer heuristics.

For this reason, I think the benefit of the tail call interpreter is more than just a 3-5% performance improvement. It's a reliable performance improvement that may be even greater than 3-5% on some compilers.
I did, but those numbers include all foreigners. Where are you getting your data from?
I've posted many times about how my relationship with opioids (prescribed Rx, not street drugs) is improved when I'm good about taking my magnesium, which I started decades ago because it was supposed to help with atkins/keto. Many people have chimed in that what is likely happening is that Mg helps your ATP, and I'm probably just metabolizing it better. I've also seen other posts about Mg being an NMDA antagonist. If you're interested, those may be additional things you'd want to look into.

I'm missing something: It's a charter school. If Gauna feels that these payments have been made at the expense of her son, why would she keep him enrolled there? Is the whole point of a charter school system not that you can vote with your feet? Similarly, why have other parents not left if they feel like their child's education is suffering as a result of these decisions?
Exactly, once figured out how it works, the implementation is quite straightforward.
> It’s quite another thing to delegate authoring code altogether to a fallible statistical model.

Isnt this what a compiler is really doing? JIT optimizes code based on heuristics, it a code path is considered hot. Sure, we might be able to annotate it, but by and large you let the tools figure it out so that we can focus on other things.
You don't have to apologize, you did great work either way.
I’m not sure if tiling window managers are a paradigm most people can get behind, but after using hyprland for a year I can’t imagine going back to a floating WM. That’s on top of all the other shortcomings of MacOS and Windows.

The decision paralysis of all the options in desktop Linux does not help the cause either.
Grin stays small by sacrificing privacy. Hiding amounts and addresses isn’t enough if transaction linkability depends on network conditions. If privacy weakens when volume drops, that’s a design flaw, not a feature.

The extra step isn’t robustness, it’s friction. Payments should be fire and forget, not a back and forth process. Monero works because it just sends, no hassle.

And Zcash? Please. Over 95 percent of its transactions aren’t shielded. What good is stronger privacy if almost nobody uses it? Monero may have only four effective decoys, but every single transaction is private by default. A privacy coin that relies on opt in privacy isn’t a privacy coin, it’s a compliance coin.
That attitude isn't going to build any trust in the system.

You've made a number of errors in your presentation and internal biases:
1) You assume all people with questions have no medical training, which is untrue.
2) You assume people are too stupid to see when they are having problems and getting answers from their doctors that don't make sense. If a plane crashes in a field, a lay person can see the twisted metal on the ground and see the plane crashed. It may take a metallurgist to find the origin of the initial failure that lead to the crash, but not to see there was a crash. If the answer from the expert is just that planes never crash, it doesn't take too much intelligence to realize you're being lied to.
3) Telling people who don't trust you that they are too stupid to realize how right you are is going to do nothing to improve the rate of people following your advice or instructions.
