I like that you scrolled past the relevant paragraph here and then quoted a different thing that he said as proof that the paragraph that you ignored didn’t exist. I’m curious as to why you would bother including a real quote from the article?

> What about the US makes Europeans and other foreigners think they have a unique right to enter? That's a privilege for US citizens only.

Wait, what?

For one thing, there are treaties that guarantee that. Of course, the current administration has already broken quite a few treaties in the first 100 days, so what's one more?

For another thing, that's how science, industry and business work. I've been invited dozens of times to the US either to work with/for a university, to present results at conferences, to work with US companies. Cutting that seems a certain way to ensure the decline of US industry, business and science, and encourage all of this to happen elsewhere, whether it's Europe, China, India, Japan... Of course, that seems to be a common trend with the decisions of said administration, so... maybe that's the goal?

It's a very long stretch from "generate hydrogen" to "powering existing fossil fuel plants".

The most unlikely part is not even creating renewable fuels (that is a stretch already), but the idea that those fuels are going to be compatible with existing plants and infrastructure. It's not impossible, but it would probably be the least economical way to go about it. I recommend reading some industrydecarbonization.com articles for going a bit more in-depth about the why.

Traveling to awesome places is a perk of (physics) academia that is not widely appreciated. A large fraction of physicist seems to do rock-climbing or other hobbies that align well with exploring the outdoors when traveling.

Calling the Guardian "far left" shows your biases and where the Overton window is in the US now.

The rest of the world is basically telling the US to fuck off.

This is true and not at all. Last year, I quit my job, because I was in the process of getting a burn-out. It was primarily because management refused to give me recognition for my efforts. (I dreamed about it last night.)

Huge Fire closes UK's Heathrow Airport, flights disrupted

> Because two weeks in jail what could be a simple flight home sounds fishy.

The inefficiency of American institutions is nearly limitless. Don’t put too much stock in the glacial pace of our bureaucracy as being malicious when it happens everywhere else out of broad incompetence.

> That’s not hysterical it‘s cautious.

Again, I agree that there are a few stories of deportations that are legitimate causes for concern about hosting a conference with internationals in the US. But if you use people getting deported for overstaying their visas as a part of justifying that concern, then that is hysterical. It conflates issues that are effectively totally unrelated to one another.

It would be like claiming it’s not safe to travel to Italy because the local justice systems will charge you with trumped up charges and quote both the Amanda Knox case as well as cases where Americans actually broke the law and got charged justly. Only the Amanda Knox case is actual justification for the claim!
UK Power Networks are the local network operator for London and the South East. The substation that has gone boom is a National Grid one, so it's presumably affecting things upstream of local substations. I'm surprised there's a single point of failure at this level though, you'd think Heathrow would be considered important enough to have multiple feeds at a national grid level.
The substations decribed in the power network case study above are for local distribution – 33kV stepping down to 11kV (×2) and 11kV to 415V (x12).

The substation on fire (North Hyde) is a 275kV major distribution substation.

That's a fairly significant distribution loss in itself (not just Heathrow but also 16,000 homes), and rebalancing the distribution will need careful coordination – flipping the switch on a load the size of Heathrow would then imbalance the network for the new distribution supply site.

It breaks the flow to stop / start just to switch voices. I expected to be able to click a new voice and have it pick up on the next word / sentence with that voice. To compare voices I have to stop, click a new one, then start and wait for it to process. Then I can hear the new voice but its already been 15 seconds since I heard the last so what was the difference even?

Except the link you're responding to is literally linking to reports of threats to safety.

We know more than enough to point out that it shouldn't have happened at all. Even without those incidents, the previous concentration camps are not acceptable.

> Three of the stories linked are from the guardian, a far left publication that has been attacking the Trump administration.

The Guardian is a centre-left outlet, not a far-left outlet. Also, other outlets across the political bias spectrum are reporting the same thing so your comment here is boiling down to ignoring the message and attacking the messenger.

> All of the stories lack details and evidence of wrongdoing. So this just looks like hysteria and manufactured outrage.

You mean, except for the details, and the evidence of wrongdoing?
Not just parents. Its a method that actual addicts employ. I have heard this not only once. "Moved a few months to a rural place where I had no access to the stuff to get my system clean" is a tactic that people turn to. Heck, one example I am thinking of even moved from the USA to Europe in the 90s to get rid of his crack addiction.

> Fundamentally this is not a question of whether or not I can pull up specific comments that meet your interpretation of my original comment,

If your claim is that HN is demonstrably permissive because there have been multiple calls for people to be executed then it really is a question of being able to back that up with examples, otherwise the "because" aspect of your assertion falls apart. I also find it bizarre that you're framing my reading of "should be guillotined" as an "interpretation" just because it doesn't include jokes. Is that the point we're at with the doublespeak now?

If "x is true because of y" then you should be able to demonstrate y and not change the definition of y after the fact.

> The moderation of this forum is incredibly permissive; the people who feel they are being censored are more often than not just getting flagged by the community for posting off-topic political rants

In terms of viewpoints that can be shared the wider site moderation is relatively permissive. But the people who are feeling censored are explicitly noting three things:

1. Things on one specific topic are being flagged (by "the community," not HN)
2. Even when they relate to technology or startup matters
3. While other political stories unrelated to 1 are still being shared.

I have deployed and developed on their Triton inferencing server and it was amazing. All very good C++ and well architected. This one has Rust, Go, Python and C++. Seriously? First, not many Rust devs in the AI community. How do you think you'll get community involvement. Ok, may be you don’t need it. Second, good luck maintaining such a polyglot system. I prefer at most 2-3 languages - main language (C++/Java), Python for extensibility and Shell, etc for deployment.
I agree. This came up in terms of copyright either, or who is pressing the shutter and who owns the copyright to the photo taken. I personally think that the copyright belongs to me, because I, a human, made the detailed prompt, the tool just generated it. Do I not own the copyright if I make something using Photoshop? As far as I know, I do. So, how is AI any different that needs human action (i.e. be prompted)? Because it is better than Photoshop? That is not a good argument, IMO.
most jobs are absolutely not useless. They might seem useless to you, but the work has to get done.

> I sympathize with the F-35 customers who are now feeling uneasy about their choice due to recent changes in US foreign policy. But that's the risk you take when you fail to adequately fund your military and try to get by on the cheap. Most of them had the option of joining at Level 1 at the time, and had they done so they would have much more leverage today.

Your personal opinion is proven to be absurd and baseless for the single fact that the UK, a level 1 partner, was very vocal in its frustration for the "lack of U.S. commitment to grant access to the technology that would allow the UK to maintain and upgrade its F-35s without U.S. involvement."

You need to face the fact that as of now the US is an unreliable and untrustable partner, and depending on them for defense, even when it's to meet their end of the treaties, is extremely risky.
This actually resonates a bit with my own thoughts from these comments.

If we assume a drug abuser is doomed for death in the next 6 months. But by using them as slave labor in terrible conditions for 3 years guarantees they will live to old age, regardless of any psychological trauma from said experience, is it worth it?

I'm not taking a position, I'm just making a thought experiment. It's more of a moral philosophical thing than an answer, I guess.

I think a lot of people not in the midwest may not understand the gravity of the fentanyl problem in the US. Literally every family is affected, whether directly or indirectly.
The relation is the trust people set into things like ChatGPT.

That’s the dangerous part.

80 years ago we were intentionally firebombing European civilian populations. I don't think it's a comparable situation. Israel has no justification for engaging in total war tactics (or rather, the justification is contemptible and holds no water).
Its only a problem in certain parts of the US. There are some towns where people don't lock their car doors.
Just to add one more example, the anti-trans frenzy led someone to call the cops on a cisgender lesbian woman who was using the women's restroom, where the male cops barged in to arrest her:

Right. I think I was unclear -- my point is that whether or not you agree with the E.O., you must surely agree it makes travel to the U.S. difficult for transgender travellers, right? And that's a problem for the conference.
In our CI we do a lot of clever stuff like posting comments to github PRs, sending messages on slack, etc. Even though those are useful things it makes the CI a bit harder to make changes to and test. Making it do more things also makes it a bit of a blackbox.
I did an attempt to grow some vegetables for „war time”. It is pretty much useless. Amounts are too much to consume at once and not enough to consume for longer periods. Putting it into jars is an option but then cost goes up as you need to boil loads of water. Then as mentioned amount to sustain family of 3 for whole year I would have to spend way too much time in it, not even starting on possible diseases that could wipe out crop.

Statistics also show that people in the cities eat much more vegetables than people in the country side - if you exclude potatoes. I don’t want to eat potatoes only.

Exactly the same with self hosting or even running my own blog on VPS - it is nice as a side hobby. But if I have to prevent any DDoS that is already too much to handle and I am DevOps by trade and we buy anti DDoS services.

Unless I am forced to do gardening for survival or I wouldn’t have anything else to do with my time there is no upside for maintaining garden or maintaining self hosted stuff, just a nerdy fantasy because it all takes too much time and people have much more things to do in life.

Nerdy fantasy is having all kinds of vegetables freshly picked - war time reality is eating old potatoes from the cellar.
No, whether I curl it, or I use a browser, or an LLM, it is essentially ALL the same, unless of course the LLM crawls it by itself, without human interaction.

If the scale bothers you, block it, just like how you would block any other crawlers.

Other than that, we all wanted "ease-of-access" (not me though), and now we have it. It does not change anything.
It seems to me that you’re confused about what people enjoy doing.

This is actually not true. I'm getting traffic from ChatGpt and Perplexity to my website which is fairly new, just launched a few months ago.

Sweet innocent child, so lucky never to have suffered (edit: the low cost UK courier) Hermes. Their definition of delivered to you regularly includes left in a bush 3 streets over at a random address
