It seems to be that the battleground is epistemological, but not so much the argument. The difference being that Trump uses 'claims of truth' without any care of how true they are.

I feel the majority of epistemological disagreement is the result of propaganda (not exclusively from MAGA). With only a small bit that is actually a disagreement on core values. Suchs true disagreement does exist, but it is no longer what the political discourse is about.
The Early Indian Internet
The Trump administration is claiming that the 14th Amendment does not confer birthright citizenship. In their view, no ex post facto law is needed. With that logic, they can argue that tens of millions of Americans never legitimately obtained citizenship.

Stephen Miller, Trump's chief advisor on immigration, has promised to start aggressively de-naturalizing US citizens. This is how these people talk, and it has to be taken seriously.

> the executive order explicitly said it “shall apply only ...

The very fact that the President of the US is trying to abrogate a Constitutional right by executive order is incredibly alarming. Trump started with this order. If he's successful, he won't stop there. You're trusting in his own self-restraint, which is very unwise.

> Birthright citizenship was enacted by the 14th amendment, which as the name implies, was a change to our “enshrined US Constitution.”

Birthright citizenship was the norm in the US since the founding. The 14th Amendment formally guaranteed what was already the status quo, and made sure that it was applied without regard to race. The Supreme Court's majority opinion in the Kim Wong Ark case has a good discussion of this.
Not who you replied to, but I more so do not rely on my phone for anything where I would prefer more screen real estate such as doing comparisons like buying flight tickets. I have never bought flight tickets on my phone, only on my computer. I prefer the bigger screen and keyboard for most things actually
The democrats do not have sufficient power to start an impeachment of trump. If they did, they would.
Yeah, I found this when I was Boinc protein folding for Covid. The work units ran for hours, my towercPC nearly melted, and then I found that this produced mere milliseconds of simulation!

Not possible. He just needs to write less.
Author here. Yes there are some tradeoffs:

- Performance: slower than using rr with HW counters. Both dynamic and static instrumentation employed by _Software Counter mode_ rr slow things down

- Potential fragility: Dynamic and static instrumentation can often make record/replay a bit more fragile

- Currently only x86-64 support has been publicly released. I have aarch64 support working reasonably well internally and it allows me for instance run to rr in a Linux VM running on macOS ! I have yet to figure out my strategy for the aarch64 release so watch https://github.com/sidkshatriya/rr.soft for any updates.

- Currently can run only on a few recent Linux distributions (e.g. Fedora 40/41, Debian Unstable, Ubuntu 24.10) because it relies on robust debuginfod support that is not widespread yet. See https://github.com/sidkshatriya/rr.soft/wiki#how-does-softwa... for why debuginfod is required. The debuginfod requirement may be relaxed in the future with more work

Regardless of the tradeoffs this allows rr to be used in many more situations i.e. wherever HW Performance counter access is not possible/not reliable/broken.

I would love it if more people tried this out and let me know if things worked out well for them (or not) with their programs.

> To me, "AI is the letdown" is the letdown. The sheer lack of imagination and wonder you must have to see what are almost virtual people, something that was _unthinkable_ five years ago, and to say it's a letdown, I will never understand.

Did I imagine you said these things?
But flakes of gold are not associated with a lower IQ in children.

"The NTP monograph concluded, with moderate confidence, that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children."

https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/whatwestudy/assessments/noncancer/...

So it is also not clear, if the lower concentration typically found also has this effect.

"It is important to note that there were insufficient data to determine if the low fluoride level of 0.7 mg/L currently recommended for U.S. community water supplies has a negative effect on children’s IQ."

But the solution of just using (cheap) Fluor in toothpaste to apply the Flour where it should go - to the teeth and not the stomach, sounds smarter to me.
Standalone app installers ≠ compiling from source
> The only benefits I can see of "Apps", are the developer get's access to private information they really don't need.

That's exactly the point. More developer control, less user control. Can't change cookie settings in an app, can't (easily) block ads, can't use developer tools to remove annoying UI elements, can't disable phone home mechanics, can't prevent the developer from profiling you.

They know what they are doing. It’s not just dumb statements, it’s a repeated, targeted messaging in preparation for an actual or de facto take over.
I think people are getting triggered by the word domain, and conflating it with a particular cargo cult called DDD. It's the same with agile - the one that's implemented is usually the cargo cult version that charges you the cost of the "official" process without the benefits.

I meant domain modelling in the simplest sense: I created three objects, the market, the trading strategy and a simulated version of the market. that's it. no paperwork, no forms filled in triplicate.

> Let Linux be Linux and Windows be Windows. They're both great if you appreciate them for what they are and use the accordingly.

What if you technically prefer the Windows way, but are worried about Microsoft's behavior related to commercial strategy, lock-down, privacy...?

The author envisions a system that's technically stable as Windows, yet free as Linux.
Not only that, but these companies are effectively letting Google decide who they can do business with. It's insane.
I'd rather run commands and write code than try to reverse engineer an non-deterministic, non-documented, ever changing API.

I’ve been playing around with SIMD since uni lectures about 10 years ago. Back then I started with OpenMP, then moved to x86 intrinsics with AVX. Lately I’ve been exploring portable SIMD for a side project where I’m (re)writing a Numpy-like library in Rust, mostly sticking to the standard library. Portable SIMD has been super helpful so far.

I’m on an M-series MacBook now but still want to target x86 as well, and without portable SIMD that would’ve been a headache.

If anyone’s curious, the project is here: https://github.com/IgorSusmelj/rustynum. It's just a learning exercise for learning Rust, but I’m having a lot of fun with it.
Where I live, dental health is good and we don’t have fluorides in the water (we have free, mandatory dental care for children). We recently banned the use of fluorides to make our skis go fast because of the environmental impact.
When the iPhone came out, you had full offline access on PC to Gmail and google docs using Google Gears.

Google Gears got deprecated because something something move to standard HTMl and browser features and now we don’t really have any offline web apps.

The ability to have non sluggish, offline web apps has existed for decades now, but the interest from providers has been declining and the understanding that this is possible is also declining on the consumer side.
Keyboarding was taught in my middle school using Selectrics and my high school was equipped with Model Ms on Model 50s (oh, IBM).

Those two sublime instruments of typing superiority made it so that when I type I type so quickly that people have thought I was pantomiming on several occasions.

As far as I'm concerned IBM solved the text input problem over a half century ago.

Not so sure. There are a ton of bad apps. They also do not work properly often.

Besides companies focus on apps, not on web pages. Less money, less focus, therefore worse experience
Who wants to bet Greenland (and Panama) was suggested by Putin as some sort of " you will leave glorious legacy". It makes zero logical sense otherwise. Why would US want full ownership of a frozen solid, even after 100 years of global warming at current pace, piece of land when they already have unlimited military presence and control over the region due to being close allies with the owner.
Wouldn't this slowly slow the earths rotation down? Let's say everyone tried to build power plants using this.

Its funny to read negative replies to your comment on the shortcoming's of web apps.

The browsers are controlled and manipulated by the likes of Apple and Google. These companies have a significant influence on the direction of browser features and limitations, often shaping them to suit their business interests. For example, Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome have been criticized for implementing features that reinforce their own ecosystems, such as limiting web push notifications or restricting certain web API functionalities to encourage users toward their native apps. This ultimately means that even in the browser world, the same forces that drive the app store monopolies can still control and restrict what’s possible, even if the web is inherently more open. So while web apps offer more flexibility than native apps in theory, the reality is that Apple and Google’s control over the browsers still limits the true potential of a completely open web.
So do intelligent/informed people take project 2025 serious?

Hope editor could support the `uv python find --script` soon.
I ain't leaving California any time soon either.
Simple, UX.

The reality is, most webapps for mobile just suck. The UX is nowhere near that of a native application. I don't want any text to be selectable. I don't want pull to refresh on every page. I don't want the left-swipe to take me to the previous page.

You can probably find workarounds for all these issues. The new Silk library (https://silkhq.co/) is the first case I've seen that get's very close to a native experience. But even the fact that this is a paid library comes to show how non-trivial this is.
In the Netherlands we have those two as well, but it is also regulated:
- the cheapest plan must not cost more than 115 eur (dont know exactly), and it has mandatory coverage (‘basisverzekering’)
- there is a maximum copay of 850eur per year (‘eigen risico’)
- some services are not allowed to have copay
- low income people can have extra subsidies to pay for insurance
- insurance is mandatory
- insurance is a personal thing, not a work-thing. Your work absollutely knows nothing about your health insurance

Due to the regulations it is not a big run to the bottom
most of these combinations actually have legitimate use-cases. and, kind of like what the article is pointing to; it's really only confusing if you learnt it the bad way from the start.

that said, I think the more extreme examples probably come from C codebases, where these kinds of declarations are actually highly useful as well as highly logical, compared to C++ which usually tones these kinds of things down via STL and higher level abstractions.

i'd also argue both C and C++ still have their place as legitimate tools for their purposes, and especially C still has no real competitor that can match it for its purposes.
Wasn't OpenVMS stuck in a similar situation in the late 1980s, where they had tons of VAX MACRO assembly files they had to transpile to Alpha, then Itanium and nowadays x86_64?

VAX is a rather different beast than 32-bit ARM and that bandaid would result in a hybrid 32/64-bit operating system, but I wonder if a similar solution could be implemented for RISC OS.

Thanks! I'll pass this to the author.

Out of curiosity I've started looking in Django docs (I'm more of a flask person myself), and they seems to confirm what you're saying. More to the point, the `strings` are the main issue. The default autoescape actually encodes ' and " as HTML entities, but doesn't encode a backslash, so leaving a \ at end of a ' or " string would escape the string ending - this would be exploitable if the attacker controls two strings of the same "type' in a row.

I guess this is the proper way to do it:

Tea has fluoride in it. Not saying that's the only reason, but perhaps one.
Late to reply, but my point was that even with the ability to be held accountable on pain of unemployment, imprisonment or even death, sometimes even these disincentives are not enough to stop a certain small percentage of humans from going haywire. It's all just something we have to live with.
Absolutely, especially when working with frameworks or runtimes you're not very familiar with.
Many things needs to be an app, but so so many do not require.

Many apps are apps just because they can collect your data, and create walled gardens. It is harder to create extensions for existing apps, for web pages it is easier.
promises should come with contracts that they will pay you something like the median salary per year if they change their mind.
It’s totally possible to distribute a webapp that works offline and stores all your data offline too.

Platform owners introduce a bunch of restrictions that create reliability and usability concerns, but the standards already exist to enable a website operator to create a webapp that, after the initial ‘install’, runs entirely offline on the user’s device, and has no need to communicate with the website.

A particularly memorable short review of "the Straight Story" suggests that he did end in fact end up doing a Lynch thing, however I suggest people don't read this review unless they've seen the film first [1].

> Lynch lives in a very troubled world. His pictures are characterized by being presented through the mind of the protagonist. Here, the protagonist is a simple old man, who thinks slowly and simply. So that's what we get. He has long erotic meditations on fecundity on the path of life (14 kids!), so that is what we see.

> Lynch must be laughing into his gasmask at those who think this is a Hallmark card. Consider these Lynchisms...

The has been my experience as well. AI has made me a much more prolific problem solver because I can try so many more things in such a short amount of time, learning from all of it.

Granted, I refuse to take AI solutions and just plug them blindly without looking at them. I never use “YOLO”-mode. I’m always questioning and thinking about the code it outputs, the same way I’d critique a jr dev’s pull request.
The problem with LLMs is techbro crowd trying to pretend they are like thinking humans (all these analogies with us memorizing things) when it comes to rights like access to information and copyright abuse, but not thinking humans when it comes to using LLMs themselves.

You’d think any logical person would believe only one or the other is true, but big tech got many people believing this paradox because the industry depends on it. As soon as the paradox is over, the industry is revealed to be either based on IP theft or on slavery.

There is no problem to argue about, really: laws and basic rights and freedoms exist for humans; if %thing% (be it made of chips or brain cells) is not considered human then laws and rights apply to humans who operate it; if the thing is considered human then it itself has human rights to be reckoned with.

Why are we comparing LLMs to media? I think media has much more freedom in a creative sense, its end goal is often very open-ended, especially when it's used for artistic purposes.

When it comes to AI, we're trying to replace existing technology with it. We want it to drive a car, write an email, fix a bug etc. That premise is what gives it economic value, since we have a bunch of cars/emails/bugs that need driving/writing/fixing.

Sure, it's interesting to think about other things it could potentially achieve when we think out of the box and find use cases that fit it more, but the "old things" we need to do won't magically go away. So I think we should be careful about such overgeneralizations, especially when they're covertly used to hype the technology and maintain investments.
Cool but the attitude of “bring on the dystopian future as long as it’s more convenient for some people some of the time” is still confusing to me. Do you imagine that leaked information like this has never gotten someone killed before, and never will in the future?
There’s a tendency to backwards rationalize anything that is established in the US, that comes from a place of identity.

The current shape of the US is already the best and people consider it a part of who they are, so suggesting a course correction may be seen as both wrong think and a personal attack and wanting radical change would be outright treason.

There’s an array of standard stencils for defense against change: this is the only thing that can work here, this is the only thing that guarantees freedom, this is actually not that bad, I actually prefer it like this, anything else would be expensive/impossible/unamerican.

It’s not even unique to the US, but who cares about other places.

I tried it and it’s not really possible since the Blueprint text representation is so ridiculously verbose. I’m not sure why they used a format that is so difficult to convert to text. I ended up using Angelscript to see if that works, and it does decently but since it’s such a niche language you have to write docs to tell the LLM how to write it.

recently they managed to bring this to a court, and the judge was convinced by the evidence, and ruled that water fluoridation is harmful.

Agreed! I've used them for printing a few larger PDFs as well, and the only part which I cringe at usually is the shipping cost (which it's bad, it's just that the print is so cheap there shipping looks pretty significant next to it).

Random story/context: I've actually learnt about lulu from Intel - a decade ago or something, when they stopped shipping Intel Manuals for free to anyone who asked, they redirected people to lulu to get a printed-on-demand copy.
What "take" are you talking about?
