The authoritarian right's playbook is simple but brilliantly effective.

The roadmap ends with a strong man dictator that has removed any and all hurdles towards absolute power so that the agenda can be implemented without compromise.

Any roadblock towards this is called "anti-democratic" which is the ultimate irony as those preaching it fully support the end of democracy.

The US is now an inch away from being a dictatorship as the last line of defense, judges, are under severe attack. They're targeted to be impeached, called "radical left" and Musk is throwing money at flipping votes.

This process is happening in several countries and it's baffling how many people eat it up, including in these comments.

I suppose it is true that democracy is fragile and that with a few nudges people vote to dismantle it themselves.
> The whole cattle mindset because at the end of the day everything is a "unstable substrate" your building a stable service on unstable blocks pets don't solve the issue that each pet is fundamentally unstable and your just pretending it's not.

That's not the way the world has to be. You can have a network that is rock solid. You can have power that is rock solid. You can have hardware that is rock solid.

Sure, if you have a couple thousand machines, a few of them will have hardware problems every year. Yes, once in a while an automatic transfer switch will fail and you'll have a large data center outage. Backhoes exist. Urgent kernel fixes happen. You have to acknowledge failures happen and plan for them, but you should also work to minimize failures, which I honestly haven't seen at the 'cattle not pets' workplaces. Cattle take about two years to get to market [1] (1.5 years before these people receive them, then 180 days before sending them to market); I'd be fine with expecting my servers to run for two years before replacement (and you know, rotating in new servers throughout, maybe swapping out 1/8th of the servers every quarter, etc), but after running for 30 days at 'cattle not pets', I started getting complaints that my systems were running for too long.

Padded gloves do throw off your swing / bat "feel". You do now see a lot of guys wearing a little rubber donut thing on the thumb of their top hand. That helps a lot with absorbing the vibration from a mis-hit. It still shivers your hands, but you don't get the piercing pain focused right at the base of your thumb.

[Edit] You do build up some crazy calluses swinging a bat for hours upon hours of practice. They absolutely don't help, like at all, when you strike a ball in on the handle of the bat. It always hurts.
Or the Hexium.

The CPU serial number debacle of the 90s would have been even funnier with more overt mark of the beast references.
That's some nice story, not relevant facts.
This is actually why rotational math is more complicated in 3d than you would expect. It's something game developers get used to, because accessing and modifying a rotation requires knowing what the orientation is relative to a fourth axis. That's what a quaternion is. In the situation of this story, it's in reference to the milky way's vertical axis.

The link you posted is about not giving the user a choice. It's an optional pre alert screen that only leads to the system request. Apps are choosing to allow users to say no/cancel on that screen that then lets them ask again and again without wasting their one chance with the system prompt pop up.
This is only obvious when you yourself are not moving on a curved trajectory.

In GR curved trajectories lead to "weird" observations. For instance, I'd expect the side of the remote galaxy that is closer (visually, for you as an observer) to the center of your galaxy to be gravilensed slightly more than the other side. Because the effect is non-linear, it does not just compensate when sides are reversed.

P.S. Not claiming this has any significant effect on the described phenomenon, just that mirror symmetry does not apply.
MAGA is not popular. Only about 50% of republicans are MAGA and about 30% of the population are republicans. Being generous, MAGA has something like 20% support.

Trump's win was hardly a destruction. It was quite slim.
Fun! I've never let it come that far. Was it somehow fuzzy or really like the firm, white skin that it has when you buy it?
I thought it gathered data and did some affiliate stuff.

An honest extension could have still made piles of cash. They did not need to be so aggressive about taking affiliate revenue and they definitely did not need to lie about coupons.

This was not a "too good to be true" situation.
> Barring candidates can corruptly entrench power, even when following the "rules" to the letter. What then?

Bold claim. Bold claims require bold evidence. You provided none.
it's completely unsurprising that a child raised with no spiritual grounding would be interested in a book that teaches how to live and attempts to answer the questions that rationalists and atheists have nothing satisfying to say about.

How does one live a good life? Every religion tries to answer that question. Has the GP sufficiently replaced religion with something else to help their child answer that question?

One life is too short and too permanent to figure it out from trial and error so we have an instinct for myth to help guide us. That's why religion evolved.

You can help your child navigate that problem and separate doctrine from the helpful parts, or try to shelter them from scary ideas. Good luck with the latter strategy, especially if you want them to have a relationship with you as adults.
I don't think the apps themselves are illegal any more than VLC is illegal. You could likely watch something on the app that is illegal depending on where you live.
But if OpenAI was Open, they'd open-source those old obsolete models. You're right that no one really wants it, and it has little to no commercial value at this point, but that's all the more reason they should just put it out there and actually live up to their name.
He's Welsh. Why does the title focus on Americans? Yes, I know Newsweek is an American company. (Also, I'm American.) It just seems an odd choice.
Then it's not a problem and France is just throwing some hissy fit.
Why would you use GSON for objects that go through steps of state? Why would you mark fields like State as final when it is actually mutable? This just sounds like poorly designed code.

Maybe I don't know of your use case, but GSON/Jackson/Json type classes are strictly data that should only represent the data coming over the wire. If you need to further manipulate that data it sounds like the classes have too much responsibility.
> You can get exactly the same "benefits" without the side effects by simply making signed overflow unspecified rather than undefined.

Actually, you don't. Unspecified behavior means that you have some sort of limited "blast radius" for the behavior; in LLVM's terminology, it would be roughly equivalent to "freeze poison"--i.e., the overflow returns some value, which is chosen nondeterministically, but that is the limit you can do with it. By contrast, the way LLVM handles undefined overflow is to treat it as "poison", which itself is already weaker than C/C++'s definition of UB (which LLVM also has) [1].

Now poison seems weirder in that it has properties like "can be observed to be a different value by different uses (even within the same instruction)." But it also turns out from painful experience that if you don't jump to that level of weird behavior, you end up accidentally making optimizations like "x * 2" -> "x + x" illegal because oops our semantics accidentally makes the number of uses of a value something that can't be increased because formal semantics are hard. (Hats off to Nuno Lopes et al for working on this! We need more formalism in our production compilers!)

[1] IMHO, C itself could benefit from fronting a definition of poison-like UB to the standard, rather than having just one kind of undefined behavior. But that also requires getting the committee to accept that UB isn't an inherently evil thing that needs to be stamped out at all costs, and I don't have the energy to push hard on that front myself.
Wow, do you work for these ad-tech companies? You’re totally correct that I don’t want to be tracked and I’m happy that Apple is trying to protect me from these predatory companies. If “hurt[ing] the finances” of these privacy invasive companies is your definition of “companies they don’t like” please sign me up. It’s a bizarre thing to say any one actually wants to be tracked.
I suspect you've never known anyone who participates in the elite levels of popular sports. They are very rarely having fun.

All the major sports alter their rules every year to increase their entertainment value. Here is a short, non-exhaustive list off the top of my head: NBA flopping penalties, NBA player resting policy, MLB base stealing rule changes, MLB free base runners, MLB pitch clocks, NFL changing overtime rules almost every year, NFL challenges and reviews, etc.

There is nothing wrong with not having much knowledge of sports, but it might be worth reconsidering your strident opinions if that's the case.

We live in times where the bible is considered a serious yardstick for morality, rather than the fucked up Bronze Age mythology that it is.

Considering it’s god is a raging and abusive narcissist[0], and how often the religion is used as a tool to justify hatred, physical and psychological abuse, I would be just as concerned at someone actively trying to proselytize. Religion is entirely unnecessary for a moral upbringing.

I would likewise be just as concerned if 4chan’s /pol/ started to target my kids with their propaganda. There’s a strong difference between intellectual good faith exploration of politics and world events, and harmful radical indoctrination intent on controlling their actions and reactions.

As another poster said, at best it’s a good opportunity to sit down with your kids, and show them the tricks and traps being used against them, but they are too inexperienced to be let alone to be preyed upon with impunity.

It doesn't matter if you think of them as different things. The umbrella term is corporal punishment, and some countries prohibit child corporal punishment. A few examples from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_corporal_punishment_laws :

Austria - "corporal punishment of children became explicitly banned through a new law stating that "using violence and inflicting physical or mental suffering is unlawful"

Colombia - On 23 March 2021, the Senate of Colombia unanimously voted to approve a bill that prohibits physical punishment, cruel, humiliating, or degrading acts, and violence as forms of correctional approaches for the upbringing of children and adolescents in Colombia

Nepal - "Children have right to a non-violent upbringing. Corporal punishment, psychological violence and other degrading educational measures are inadmissible."

South Africa - "In 2017 a decision by the Gauteng High Court held that corporal punishment in the home was unlawful,[68] and that decision was confirmed for the whole country by the Constitutional Court"

If you were like me, you were taught that your father spanked you because he loved you and wanted you to learn right from wrong.

How is that different from other abusive situations? If I using spanking as punishment on my wife because she messed up cooking the dinner, and said I did that because I loved her and wanted her to do better .. sure sounds abusive to me.

As for your "go to their room" example, perhaps you are not aware of alternative viewpoints? https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/03/13/6855333... was discussed on HN last year at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39250304 :

> "Shouting, 'Think about what you just did. Go to your room!' " Jaw says. "I disagree with that. That's not how we teach our children. Instead you are just teaching children to run away."

> And you are teaching them to be angry, says clinical psychologist and author Laura Markham. "When we yell at a child — or even threaten with something like 'I'm starting to get angry,' we're training the child to yell," says Markham. "We're training them to yell when they get upset and that yelling solves problems."

> In contrast, parents who control their own anger are helping their children learn to do the same, Markham says. "Kids learn emotional regulation from us."

What caused this universe to favor matter over anti-matter?

So many unanswered questions.
Answer: I suppose no? But my point is only this:

1. People with the "AI isn't thinking" opinions move the goalposts, the borderline between "just following a deterministic algorithm" and "thinking" wherever needed in order to be right.

2. I argue that the brain itself must either be deterministic (just wildly complex) or, for lack of a better word, supernatural. If it's not deterministic, only God knows how our thinking process works. Every single person postulating about whether AI is "thinking" cannot fully explain why a human chooses a particular action, just as AI researchers can't explain why Claude does a certain thing in all scenarios. Therefore they are much more similar than they are different.

3. But really, the important thing is, unless you're approaching this from a religious POV (which is arguably much more interesting) the obsessive sorting of highly complex and not-even-remotely-fully-understood processes into "thinking" and "NOT thinking" groups is pointless and silly.
Erdogan has consolidated power independently and undemocratically and is using it to jail his opponents. That is completely different from this situation where a politician is engaging in anti-democratic actions and is then barred from running by an independent judiciary.

> term limits are inherently undemocratic

A society where the people are not able to participate in the electoral process is not a democratic society. True democracies represent the will of all people, regardless of whether they are part of the majority or whether they were eligible to vote in the single election which transitioned the political system from democracy to dictatorship.

The whole world of affiliate marketing and lead generation seems so thoroughly and irredeemably scummy, I can't really come up with much sympathy for anyone here. It's just middlemen all the way down, and everything is more expensive because they all have their little fingers in the pie.
You might want to vet your video collection more closely.

You can put in an autoload section and the runtime linker will load it for you, but you absolutely can load a DLL and its symbol names at runtime. Usually this is done for boring reasons like compatibility with multiple versions of an external library.

Part of the problem is that it trickles down and affects sport at lower levels. I was an age group swimmer (ages 10-18) when those suits came out. I can't remember exactly but it at least 10x'd the minimal equipment budget for the season. The suits were not only much more expensive but they wore out after a small number of races.

Suddenly a line was draw between have- and have-nots based on whose parents could and would buy this stuff. (My club, like many, practiced in a small municipal pool and it was very budget friendly. The fancy suits would be a large fraction of the annual cost to a family.)

In my opinion banning the suits was great for the sport at the age-group level, and thus the sport in general.

>quote the numbers you believe support your viewpoint.

HN guidelines expect intellectual curiosity, not spoon feeding (maybe that's also a change in cultural norms). I've already clearly described the trend and given you multiple avenues to look at the data, if you were curious enough to do so. If it's not apparent, the two goals are not mutually exclusive. Figure 14 of the previously mentioned paper gives you the numbers:

-In 1966,about 85% said developing a philosophy of life is a priority, while about 42% said being very well off financially was a priority

-By 2006, nearly 75% said being very well off financially was a priority while developing a philosophy of life dipped below 50%

In other words, priorities inverted.

>That automatically skews the results to more privileged people

The authors took measures to control for "more privileged" students when comparing public/private data. From the paper:

"By disaggregating CIRP median household income by public and private institutions and comparing each set of reporting students, we are able to tease out the
differences in parental income over time relative to each other and relative to the national median household income"

>Where is the related statistic that poorer people spent money and time to go to college without the expectations of getting a better job 50 years ago?

Note the paper also discusses how the relative wealth of parents of incoming freshman has increased. Implying poorer students were a larger share of the student body at the time when developing a philosophy of life was a more dominant priority.

You should read the report and look at the data. It's rare to find longitudinal data that spans so many decades.

Both devices focus on readability and rely on a reflective screen. Both devices are monochrome.

This is like comparing OLED vs MicroLED. They're technically different technologies, and each has it's own strengths. The OP is saying that "Never Seen on ePaper" is like saying "The Best iPhone Ever"...
The point isn't that there's mutability, it's to be able to easily identify where it is and where it is not.

Languages which lack the tools to do this are just harder to reason about, at least for me.

In the JS example, as a non-JS coder, I would expect that a sort function that returns nothing/void would sort in-place, while a sort function that returns an array would return a sorted copy. I would not expect it to sort in-place and return it.

However in C++ I could easily see from the function definition that it might be doing that, because a sort that returns a copy would take a const reference for the input array. So if I came across a sort function which took a non-const reference as input I'd be able to at least suspect it's doing it in-place.
It is both candidates competing to outdo each other on who will drop more bombs. It is a smoking gun, but not in the way you think it is.

Solved PV2 Laplacian Eigenvalue Problem One of the Millennium Problems InPython
Hi all,

I've officially published the Python solution to the PV2 Laplacian eigenvalue challenge, one of the 15 most difficult mathematical problems of the millennium.

All problems are fully documented, protected by smart contracts and available on GitHub. This could pave the way for breakthroughs in AI, quantum computing, and applied mathematics.

Here’s what my experience looked like.

Use case:
Building a personal RAG system as a weekend project.

Tool used:
OpenHands and Trea, both running in Docker.

Cost in $:
$60

Cost frequency:
One-time (over 3 weekends)

Cost includes:
Mostly API usage and infrastructure

Satisfaction:
Low (10%?) — the final system worked much worse than `ripgrep`.
The AI often produced unusable or overcomplicated results.
I ended up spending more time debugging than... vibing.

Usefulness:
AI is helpful for certain programming tasks, and GitHub Copilot can be useful (when it’s not overeager). But in this case, the “vibe coding” approach felt inefficient and frustrating. Might’ve been better with higher-end tools, but hard to say.
