Sure, if their actual interests are to suffer devastating economic consequences.
I don't accept the point that it's generally acceptable for police to use violence in self defense. It is easy to imagine the point where safety to the public demands an individual cop accept personal danger. This is widely understood, it is all over the messaging about the inherent heroism of policing. If they want the credit for this danger, they have to face the risk itself.

But anyway yeah we're way off track and your original point really seemed to be something like "but maybe the civilians deserve it" so I have not taken it seriously at any point and will continue not to.
Really good news. Being able to parse a URL really deserves to be an available capability.

Still, I can't help but hear a lot of the feel about URLPattern echoing through my head. It's super un-ideal a match for webs services, which often have many routes to match! It only passes a single URL!

Ideally there would be an API to register a bunch of urls, and then say, which if any does this match? That would open the door to smarter matching, to an engine that can work on all routes at once, rather than having to re-match route by route. Its how all fast routers work! https://hono.dev/docs/concepts/benchmarks

> Complex jobs cannot be accomplished effectively with transients.

I love this quote.
I think it's a bit complicated than that. It's not US or EU but something...different. I actually found it a bit close to the Canadian model. I'm not a sociologist so I don't have the right wording for that, but if you want one Chinese phrase that is 诸侯经济.

Here is an article written by someone who was high in the echelon and was sort of the secretary of Qishan Wang back in the 80s/90s and worked a lot in the banking crisis back in the 90s. It is a very rare insight because such persons rarely share their thoughts publicly. Try ChatGPT and maybe it gives a good translation. IMO, people who want to understand modern China needs to understand 诸侯经济, because it dominates the 3 decades after the fateful year of 1976, and the effort to dismantle of it dominates the 4th decade.

And likewise packagers often don't understand that the application has been extensively tested with one set of library versions and that changing them around to fit the distro's tastes will cause headaches for the developers of that application, and that they have a vendored fork of some libraries because the upstream version will cause bugs in the application. It's a source of friction, the goals are different, and users are often caught in the crossfire when it goes poorly (and when each application is packaged N times, there's N opportunity for a distro to screw something up: it's extremely rare that a distro maintainer spends anywhere near the amount of time on testing and support as the upstream developers do, since maintainers are usually packaging many different applications, while upstream is usually multiple developers focused on one project).
No one that has ever had to work with Lotus Notes could forget it. It was atrocious. Maybe the sync engine was great but I really do not know what it was used for ...
Not exactly no. It also has an anonymous function where you can use an account from a larger pool provided by aurora. It loads these dynamically from a pool hosted on their servers. The only issue is that Google tends to rate limit them.

I don't know why it says that there but it definitely has this function. Perhaps they don't want to draw too much attention to it due to its unreliability and resulting support issues. There have been periods of a couple of weeks where it didn't work at all due to Google blocking these accounts but lately they have backed down.

> Do you believe that ... improving ... is always a good thing?

"Improving" is good by definition. Otherwise it would be called something else. The questions become what you personally consider to be improvement and what scales and scopes you personally choose to consider when determining whether a change improves things.
I think Europe was of the understanding that the "ongoing deal" was mutually beneficial.

The US paid by far the most for defense and so had by far the most influence and power in the world, and the peace (at least in the Western world) that US defense brought made sure both the US and the EU could freely trade and benefit financially.

What now changed is that apparently the US thinks it does not need this hegemony anymore (by forcing the EU to become a competing military power), or that they can replace the role the EU played with some other combination of countries. Or alternatively, the US is just looking for some "splendid isolation".

To European spectators, the above seems ridiculous. But who knows, maybe Trump is correct... Either way, the US had a good thing going and is now abandoning that. Not strange that Europe is surprised by that move.
The Soviet Union analogy is not a direct comparison. My point was narrower: excessive centralized control, even in a market system, can stifle economic dynamism, much like the Soviet model did in an extreme way. The EU’s heavy regulations (GDPR, DMA, labor laws) aren’t command economics, but they lean toward a similar logic of prioritizing control over freedom, with measurable results.

US stocks may be inflated but the gap — 241 US companies worth $30 trillion vs. 14 EU ones at $430 billion — reflects more than hype. It shows the US consistently produces globally dominant firms, a sign of higher productivity and innovation. The EU’s regulatory burden likely plays a role in why its startups rarely scale that big.
For productivity, I cited the US economy being 50% larger (nominal GDP: ~$28T vs. ~$18T for the EU). Your ECB source doesn't contradict my point. It used a baseline of 2019 for both regions, to measure productivity growth, but the regions started at different baselines in 2019.

Anyway, getting back to my point: the US does a better job of creating new industries in large part because it avoids the EU’s regulatory morass and therefore has a more market-based economy.

Which is gross mischaracterization. Many transhumanists do not think the singularity is real. It is just a prediction of simplified model, where in reality technological progress would hit limitations not accounted in the model. And even if the singulary happened, it would be unpredictable what it would bring.
Exactly.

I'm far less motivated to learn technical topics now than I was even two years ago. I used to crack books/articles open pretty frequently largely for personal reasons but much of my motivation to do so has been removed by the presence of LLMs.
When I visit that store, I try to imagine what the store would look like with all the “made in China” products removed. My visual is the store would almost be empty.
I have a twiddler and tried doing this a long time ago i.e. emacs with a twiddler. For me I really needed to use a sticky cntl and alt key because I just couldn't press the cntl button on the top and chord at the same time. And I couldn't figure out how to make the sticky cntl work on the phone. But that was a very long time ago. Now I just use a mini bt keyboard and termux to run emacsclient over ssh and that's good enough for what I want.
Thanks!!! But its still in beta and im 13 and do this in my free time so like with some help from outsiders this has slim chances of evolving

> US HR used to throw away any photos that people attached to resumes. (Usually someone attaching a photo was a recent immigrant, who didn't know the US convention.)

Don't they recommend having LinkedIn profile picture for better chances of getting shortlisted? Also assuming you are talking about physical resumes. Wouldn't having a photo attached to resume make more sense in terms of identifying the candidate correctly at any given stage of recruitment, before or after the in person interview?
The middleware doesn't have to reject it. It could decide to just wrap it and pass it along. The backend code can then be able to distinguish which was sent by the client and which was added by the middleware. And that's the point. The middleware can do as little or as much filtering it desires, without causing any confusion to the backend.
No honor among pedants.
> The Singularity is a belief that you can extrapolate from history and current events

That's exactly backwards; a singularity is a point past which you can't extrapolate, because trying to do so leads to absurdities (e.g. infinite densities, time as a spacial dimension, one egg costing more than the GDP of Europe, etc.) "The Singularity" was called specifically that because it was the point at which historical projections would become absurd, and thus we could not meaningfully forecast past it (like an event horizon).

Some people ran with that and decided that it was a forecast that specific absurdities would certainly happen, but that's mostly just a reading comprehension issue.
So maybe let’s wait until prices actually go up, and then we can start worrying? I don’t see the problem.
>You are literally citing material that compares as race segregated US to other countries as wholes.

Yes, the claim is that apparently low US scores have more to do with US racial composition than a problem with the US educational system. That's the point?

I hedged with "seems to have pretty good education outcomes" because I'm not sure about the racial composition of Europe for 3rd+ generation immigrations. My expectation is that mass migration to Europe is mostly just in the past couple of generations (accounted for in that thread), but I haven't looked into it.

>And luckily you are not representative of the average American.

I didn't vote for Trump. I actually think he's a terrible president. But many Americans did. If Europe wants to get along with the US, it would be useful to understand how Trump supporters think. Since I do sympathize with them in some respects, I've been trying to explain that perspective, as I understand it, to users in this thread. If you want to understand the "average American", you can't just write off a huge fraction of the American population and refer to Trump as "Agent Orange", as was done elsewhere in this thread.

You claim to have American friends from all across the political spectrum. What have you learned from your Trump-supporting friends which helped you understand their perspective? It looks to me like you had me pegged as a Trump supporter previously (ascribing views to me I did not hold), and immediately became sarcastic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43459849
I have an API project in development where the majority of the code has been written through Claude Code. It offers an integration of the Congress.gov and GovInfo.gov APIs, and analysis tools for their respective (somewhat overlapping but not always) public information.

I put significant effort in constructing the product & project requirements beforehand and have built a number of simple tools as I ran into roadblocks or inefficiencies, so I can attest to there being a large amount of hype. I can also comfortably state that without the use of LLMs, I would not be this far along.

Having a background in software development (UX side) and a deep interest in technology gives me some insight in to which questions to ask and when to “throw a flag” and ask the LLM to explain why it’s doing something. I don’t believe the hype around one-shot enterprise applications, but the current state of AI programming is usable if people take the care they hopefully would with their own output.
It goes deeper than their "faith". These are the people who took away healthcare benefits from all Americans because they didn't personally want to fund birth control and women's health. It's reductive to say that the author looks negatively on the family because of their faith alone.
Cheap earbuds got damn good
Big non sequitur, but your comment triggered a peeve of mine that I find it ironic when people talk like oldsters can't understand technology.
The US has dozens of smaller commercial and even private airports, same for London honestly so this isn't the greatest arguement except it doesn't need to deal with customs.
Aside from what I called out in my sibling comment these two are pretty snide:

"A fortune built on the sales of sewing notions and glitter has paid for many of the country’s most influential megachurches and scriptures delivered to the most remote corners of the world. A careful calculation of potential proselytized souls drives every financial decision."

"Perhaps the Greens, in their inexperience, did not understand the magnitude of their actions. Perhaps the Greens just didn’t care. Maybe when you believe that human souls are on the line, it’s easy to unshackle yourself to the ethical and legal trade guidelines that shackle secular academics. Maybe the money saved and the ancient items procured were powerful enough to make the risk worthwhile. "
Any kind of accurate pain measurement mechanism would be revolutionary in veterinary care.

We recently found ourselves in a horrible situation. Our dog rapidly came down with a mystery illness that saw him go from bouncy to unable to stand in the span of a few hours. 6 hours of testing, 2nd opinions and specialists on the other side of the planet, and noone had a clue what was going on. A ridiculously primitive pain assessment was run, and we were advised that the dog was suffering and we should let him go.

Millions of animals are put down every year on the premise they are in pain, usually without strong data, with owners left to wonder if it was too early.
>"your people" say all the right words. They still failed, out of either incompetence or corruption.

Wall of text author here. Not sure why you went after that guy who was just trying to offer useful advice to someone else.

I'm gonna assume that "your people" means the Democratic party and those who support that party. I'm open to being corrected though.

You're conclusion in the last sentence is wrong. Like so many libertarians/conservatives it is way too binary - EITHER/OR.

Expand your mind a bit and consider the reality that it is more likely an AND/OR situation where the AND is the maximum likelihood. I don't see a realistic world where incompetence AND corruption can't work side by side to yield the same results and I've been around long enough to have seen plenty of evidence for both working in concert.

The world is not black and white, it is shades of grey once you consider the edge cases.

Thanks for commenting on this thread.
Biden wasn't voted out; he was old as shit and opted not to run

Trump got just over 1/3 of eligible US votes. the Republicans could have run the dead corpse of Nixon and probably gotten at least 1/4 of eligible votes just because he was running on a GOP ticket.

almost 1/3 of the US eligible voters didn't vote at all. the Elector College means that red states have a disproportional sway in elections.

Why Anthropic's Claude still hasn't beaten Pokémon
You've completely missed the argument and tried to turn it into a No True Scotsman.

Transhumanism is not about human augmentation, it's about a misty-eyed view of human augmentation experienced through a haze of hand-me-down religiosity.

I spent some time following these people in the early 00s and they were talking about replacing nerves with Cat 5 - and other obvious nonsense. Complete lunacy.

It's a fundamentalist millenarian movement which is inherently faith-based, contemptuous of physical and psychological reality, and irrational. As the article says - it's just another in a long, long cycle of similar movements with similar dynamics.

The only thing that changes is the set dressing. The play is always the same, and always ends in horror and tragedy.

No, this time will not be different. Affirming that it will be is part of the sales pitch. But somehow - for reasons that are unsurprising to anyone who knows a little psychology - that never quite seems to happen.
Desiring to replace your failing organs, yes, but how you get the organs is a completely orthogonal moral issue. To wit, approximately 100% of all transhumanists are not murderers.

We ship a preinstalled device that uses systemd. I would love to use containerisation to isolate different software dependencies. Is it possible to ship a podman container in a package install, e.g. a .deb?
I've been using this method on a few servers where I don't want to run Kubernetes and I really like it. It feels like native support for docker-like containers in Linux, instead of a foreign concept that needs it's own management/logging. This is the killer feature of Podman, it doesn't make sense for me to use Docker in prod.

> but if one has a healthy, fit body/mind and still want technological improvements, that is a red line.

Thats a very blurry line that changes with culture, age, profession, hobbies etc. In 50 years that line will be elsewhere even within that boundary. Especially when this has nothing to do with religions since they were invented long before any of this became a topic (so much for universal truths but thats another topic).

Like it's a pretty interesting research question to see if this very major component of the human experience can be seen and measured, but I'm not entirely sure what the medical value of such a thing could be if what you get is basically just yes no in pain or not and a rough intensity because you can already get that and more from the patient.

My experience was/is annoyingly the opposite where I developed chronic neck pain on a relatively fast timeframe and I can't find a physician across all different disciplines that's actually interested in finding out the source. They almost immediately throw up their hands and want to send me to a pain management doctor.
