I don't think anyone is really surprised. My hope is just that the US gets its comeuppance and at one point realizes that if you piss off every single one of your allies for no good reason, eventually they all realize it's cheaper to just dump your assholish ways, regardless of your economic prowess.

I've never been so deeply ashamed of my country as now, and primarily not because of Trump, but because either (a) so many people just actively cheer this on (like before he went on his tirade most MAGA people probably wouldn't have a bad thought at all about Canadians) or (b) the people that obviously know how stupid this all is are being quiet in the stereotypical "for evil to flourish, it only requires good men to do nothing" way.

> Why not criticize all the people sitting at home, rather than calling the ones actually trying "pathetic"?

This is quite the whataboutism. Just because I criticize the protestors doesn't mean I'm defending people that don't protest.

You're right, it's a start. But pragmatically it's still not meaningful. Until the protests are strong enough that the government actually feels fear there is no reason to expect anything to happen. That's just reality.

> Call it whatever you want but you're going to be incredibly hard-pressed to find anyone that can mix as smoothly on vinyl as someone decent with CDJs. Sure it's a cool dying art and analog and all that but at this point virtually anyone trying to play vinyl out is sacrificing the listening experience for cool points

That's a sad commentary on today's DJs then. Yes, there were some very bad vinyl DJs that loved the shoes in the dryer mixes and could not advance past that. They love the "beatmatch" magic. Doesn't mean that those that could are less of a DJ which is what you're trying to say?

My perfect setup would be vinyl controllers of a digital player which is very much a thing. Of course, hearing a DJ mix vinyl that is older with all of the snap crackle pops of a burning log is not pleasant, but that does not diminish the vinyl as a controller being superior to a tiny plastic spin wheel on a digital controller.
Yes, they are efficient, obviously as economies of scale. Add in consulting and quants and they'll rise in profitability. But the problem is decision making power lies in hands of select few. When you are a too large a corporate, you basically have no oversight over how much you can optimize in exchange for ill social effects. All corporates had humble beginnings, and over time hyper optimization for profits creep in. Maybe in the beginning, the synthetic preservative they add to optimize profits, was below the threshold, but over the years as need for profit and 'growth' grows and, managements and mindsets change, they could very well go above the threshold and, being big now be profitable enough even after they were caught and they had to deal with the repercussions. Well why would a rational actor not squeeze every dollar out of the customer when they can still be profitable even when accounting for the money they could pay as repercussions for fraud? I'm not saying mom-and-pop are defenders of righteousness or smth, but just from watching the news I can say I trust them over corporates, because they are A) are scared of law as they have more to loose as a percentage of what they have than INDIVIDUALS in the corporate B) feel better moral, idk attitude?, towards the customer, mostly and COMPARATIVELY than the corps.

Personally I'd want WhatsApp and Google Maps.

And if you want to deal with QR codes that redirect you to a restaurant menu or ticket ordering portal (I was visiting a country once, it had a long queue for visas on arrival, but it also had a QR code where I could get said visa online), it would need to have a web browser, well there you go, a portal to distraction has been opened.

And then there's a need to have the payment app for the WeChat-esque "Scan QR code to pay" payment system that exists where I live...

I went to a showing of Hackers in 35MM in LA last year and the director said they envisioned the hacker scene as the modern Punk music scene where computers were the instruments of creativity, like their guitars. And this is why the movie is actually timeless. It got the actual core identity that makes hackers hackers. Another fun fact is that all of the shots of them navigating through the Gibson was shot practically with glass towers and projectors and putting the camera on a track which is pretty cool.

I don't doubt that, but someone is definitely trying.

For example they moved Swift out of the Apple GitHub org and the announcement blog post[0] calls out Swift's use outside Apple's ecosystems.

Their blog archives has more posts that I read as a focus on improving Swift outside the Apple ecosystem, some examples:

* Updating the Visual Studio Code extension for Swift[1]

* Introducing Oblivious HTTP support in Swift[2]

* How Swift's server support powers Things Cloud[3]

I can see arguments for how wider adoption of Swift outside of Apple, and especially in the server ecosystem, helps Apple. In particular, lots of apps are being written using React Native and Flutter and at least one hurdle there is that Swift lacks developer mindshare.

They're doing no such thing, of course. They're targeting political enemies and anything that hinders their donors/puppet masters from getting richer at the expense of everyone else. The effect on spending will be minimal, and smaller than the (negative) effect on income.

This move makes it more likely that the internal number for TSLA is not good, and Elon is expecting the price to go down.

He has access to the real revenue number. If it's going well, he wouldn't have to perform this maneuver. xAI was relatively separated from X and TSLA, and wasn't having the backlashes associated with the two. Now he risks having the xAI branding tarnished too. He wouldn't do this unless the TSLA internal numbers are bad and he has to protect himself first, at the cost of xAI brand.
>I'm concerned with what capabilities the input offers, not the name given to one particular implementation of that set of capabilities. If I have to think about it in any more detail than "`ducks` is an iterable of Ducklike" (n.b.: a code definition for an ABC need not actually exist; it would be dead code that just complicates method resolution) I'm trying to do too much in that function. If I have to care about whether the iterable is a list or a string (given that length-1 strings satisfy the ABC), I'm either trying to do the wrong thing or using the wrong language.

You can specify exactly that and no more, using the type system:

def foo(ducks: Iterable[Ducklike]) -> None:
...

If you are typing it as list[Duck] you're doing it wrong.

You forgot to mention that China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia are all betting big on EV production. China is of course the main competition, but it's telling just how stiff the competition is getting across the board. BYD is currently making more cars than Tesla, with more advanced battery technology and comparable build quality, for a fraction of the price of any Tesla.

Well I trust Elon's statements (even the financial statements) as far as I can throw them but can you point out where it says that? I'm searching the 10-K and I don't see solar broken out.

But even if it's true I assume they are including their utility-scale solar and battery packs, which has nothing to do with Solar City: the panels are generic, the customer lists are not residential, they don't use the fancy shingles. Solar City did not help them in any way with these getting or fulfilling these contracts.

>I keep wondering where the line is, for those on the right. It seems like wherever you would draw a line in the sand … we're past that point.

Been thinking about this for years. I've come to the conclusion that there might be two seperate groups.

1. People that have nothing left to lose. Their life is ruined due to their community falling on hard times and if they see the people they perceive at fault suffering then they are satisfied.

2. People who love to watch the other side suffer but have themselves not felt enough pain yet. It has to really hurt for them to stop. I think the economy crashing in 08 was a moment where many of them quieted down for a tiny bit until the pain stopped.

> Whereas I often see people treat Wikipedia, posts on AskHistorians, YouTube videos, studies from advocacy groups, and other questionable sources as if they can be relied on.

One of these things is not like the others! Almost always, when I see somebody claiming Wikipedia is wrong about something, it's because they're some kind of crackpot. I find errors in Wikipedia several times a year; probably the majority of my contribution history to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Kragen consists of me correcting errors in it. Occasionally my correction is incorrect, so someone corrects my correction. This happens several times a decade.

By contrast, I find many YouTube videos and studies from advocacy groups to be full of errors, and there is no mechanism for even the authors themselves to correct them, much less for someone else to do so. (I don't know enough about posts on AskHistorians to comment intelligently, but I assume that if there's a major factual error, the top-voted comments will tell you so—unlike YouTube or advocacy-group studies—but minor errors will generally remain uncorrected; and that generally only a single person's expertise is applied to getting the post right.)

But none of these are in the same league as LLM output, which in my experience usually contains more falsehoods than facts.
Exactly. So then why draw conclusions about how SolarCity was a bad deal for shareholders (see parent comments)?

There's no substantiation of that either way.
Yes, horrible exchange rate. I was going to say you're cherry picking your stats, but it's more like you're cherry picking your conclusion. Just look at a graph of the USD CAD exchange rate over the past 25 years - the current rate looks pretty horrible to me, and while it's been bad before it's currently near the worst it's been in 25 years.
It's also starting to get features previously only super high end packages like atium would have. Why pay for the gimped eagle when you can just use kicad and get more
Were you perchance noting that according to some people «LLMs ... can hallucinate and create illogical outputs» (you also specified «useless», but that must be a further subset and will hardly create a «litter[ing]» here), but also that some people use «false information and faulty logic»?

Noting that people are imperfect is not a justification for the weaknesses in LLMs. Since around late 2022 some people started stating LLMs are "smart like their cousin", to which the answer remains "we hope that your cousin has a proportionate employment".

If you built a crane that only lifts 15kg, it's no justification that "many people lift 10". The purpose of the crane is to lift as needed, with abundance for safety.

If we build cranes, it is because people are not sufficient: the relative weakness of people is, far from a consolation of weak cranes, the very reason why we want strong cranes. Similarly for intelligence and other qualities.

People are known to use use «false information and faulty logic»: but they are not being called "adequate".

No, a CDO by definition is a rehypothecation of an asset that really didn't need it, it was just a means to let others bet on what seemingly was a sure thing until it was not. Not only was the underlying security, it's derivative, and an insurance product to boot, that's why insurance companies also got bailouts.

This massive failure is what created the need for bitcoin, a means in which to trap energy (you need to spend money to make bitcoin) and store/move it digitally, then you get the benefit of a visible record of transfers and stores.

As a silvergate, signature, and SVB customer they didn't hedge their t-bill duration risk properly, experienced a co-ordinated bank run and had to sell their assets off at a discount, making them insolvent.

> There might not be support for military invasion, but it's there for applying extreme economic pressure and seeing how much Canada can be forced to give up.

Agreed, but those are two quite different points, aren’t they? Isn’t it Trump’s job to extract the best deal he can from Canada? And the fact Canada has made itself utterly dependent on the US—economically and militarily—was Canada’s deliberate choice.
I love Django but the REST API situation is embarrassing. I’ve been moving projects along for decades and the only things that have ever had to be completely rewritten are the REST APIs and their tests.

Piston, Tastypie, a custom framework, Django Rest Framework, and now what? Ninja? Shinobi? Each one has stalled out in its own way and all have failed to keep up with the rest of Django. (e.g. async REST API views should NOT require another, fourth-party, library.)

I’ve been beating this drum for a decade now. Django needs “django.contrib.rest”. REST API frameworks have always been too important to leave to third-party maintainers. They need to be maintained in the core.

I just want something that feels like Django and doesn’t change. Unfortunately I think Django has been debating something as fundamental as content negotiation, the first step towards supporting this is core, for over a decade now.

If it’s a money issue I’d be thrilled to donate $5k tomorrow. I also have a JWT auth package that I could contribute. Unfortunately there appears to be little to no appetite for any of it.

I've considered donating to encode, DRF's parent organization, most of their effort is directed towards Starlette, an async framework that competes with Django. It even powers FastAPI. Encode has put enormous effort into making everything but Django Rest Framework support async.

I don't get mad about much in open source but this has been an obvious risk for over a decade. The steering council should should have spotted the iceberg and started turning the ship long ago. Removing the bug tracker and burying the announcement that the project is looking for a new maintainer in an unrelated PR comment is a too much: https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/pull/9186#is...
