deportation is a legal process, this is people getting snatched on the streets.

it did not start this month [1], ICE was always a big fucking void of basic civility, but that does not change the nature of these renditions.

people held at these facilities usually have a good chance of getting a habeas corpus hearing in front of a federal court after 6-12 months.

the federal courts are completely aware that the Immigration Courts (part of DoJ) are extremely backlogged. (which is ... a funding issue of course. which is again a direct consequence of how Congress views people.)

since these detention facilities are run for-profit it makes sense for ICE to prioritize dealing with cases that the courts "highlight".

this makes "everyone" happy, ICE makes the numbers, the contractors are happy, what else could you wish for? [2]

At its core, I think it's basically just a self-evident metaphor of how human cognition works that does not need any validation.

For example it's very clear that when you see a square you can instantly tell what shape it is without reasoning about the number and length of the sides, angles etc.; another System 1 example would be driving, you can do it for hours without even thinking through your physical actions, I need to press this pedal, shift into this gear, etc. the car basically becomes an extension of your body.

Conversely, when asked to mentally multiply 175 and 12 the answer does not similarly jump out in the head of most people, and you need to run an algorithm to get the answer, and the process of doing that is frustrating and tiresome if you don't have the exercise; conversely, with enough exercise, the answer might jump out, or your brain might begin to see patterns and shortcuts like 175 = 350/2 and 12 = 10+2 etc. This is what education forces, this continuous exercise that leads to higher cognitive function.

I don't think you could dispute the paradigm in this vague and self-evident form, but surely the exact details of how System 1 does its pattern matching and how System 2 rationally trains it to recognize future patterns are up for debate. Some of the examples and arguments Kahneman gives are dated and have been discredited or questioned in the great psychology replication crisis.

Saying you "built an MCP server" is literally the same as saying you wrote a method though.

Like you can write a single 20 line method to connect to a MySQL database, add the MCP tool decorator to the method and boom you "built an MCP server".

But no one is posting up to HN saying "Look guys, I wrote a method which connects to a MySQL server", because it takes almost zero expertise and is not novel at all.

It’s the government policies.

Housing and employment are affected by the supply and demand. Housing is expensive because there are too many people for the number of homes. Jobs are poorly paid and rare because there are too many workers looking for jobs.

Why is the government flooding the market with people given the negative effects?
I feel like 'vibes' is being used to dismiss anecdotal evidence, which, amalgamated across an increasing swathe of technical users, approaches actual evidence.

The very fact that it was clearly wrong in the example shows you that Google is capable of building a flawed Knowledge graph. This is not vibes, this is either a bug or, frankly far more likely, the inevitable problem of trying to compress all of human existence into a LLM model.

Given that LLM training is an imperfect storage mechanism, is it really hard to believe that a given iteration of the model will just not "know" arbitrary facts.

My personal anecdata on this is that searching for the 'ephemeral port range' the Google AI summary was wrong, even though the Wikipedia reference it used was correct.

I never understood the need for tail recursion optimization in imperative languages. Sure, you need it in FP if you don't have loops and recursion is you only option, but what is the benefit of recursive algorithms, that could benefit from tail optimization (i.e recursive loops), in a language like Java?
> On the supply side, natural population growth due to reproduction is surely a bigger driver than immigration

This is from ONS[0]:

> Natural change has previously been the main driver of UK population growth. However, since the 1990s, the influence of net migration has increased, becoming the main source of growth.

The UK is not a devoping country. It would have a very stable population, or even a fractionally declining population, without net migration. And house prices for young people would look very different.

Culture war at this point is more than a decade old. It did not start with Project 2025. It started on the Internet.

Also, GP said people do not change all that much morally. That much is true. Organizations change fast. Societies change slower. The acted on rules are a combination of three, but it's important to be aware of the distinctions and the dynamics.
My experience is you can learn this between dev tasks. Find a way to automate deployment (I did ansible)and monitor(eabbix or grafana). Plan, say, half an hout weekly time to review monitoring and logs. Also handle crashes and severe errors in a systemic way, automating them away. Do this for a few months and you've learned devops.

I do think there's a cause and effect reversal though: if housing supply was plentiful enough to allow young people to move out as early as boomers could, there would quite likely be much higher natural population growth.

What exactly is the social promise now? One can study hard, get an objectively good qualification, if you're lucky get a decent job and still all you've signed up for is to be a good tenant for a landlord for the rest of your days.

In the seventies social housing programs gave an entire generation a chance, and now that same generation is scalping their own offspring with the very same properties.
After the war, entirely new towns were built and cities massively developed and expanded.

We've done it before and we could do it again.

The problem is that it has opposition from the Right who wish to preserve small villages or simply increase property values and opposition from the Left who see economic growth as a dirty word and development as gentrification and environmentally destructive.

But if we want a better future for our children and grandchildren, it must be done.
> On the supply side, natural population growth due to reproduction is surely a bigger driver than immigration.

No, it’s really not. When a citizen is born, they don’t need their own place to live until they’re 18-20 years old. There’s time for the housing supply to catch up. When a citizen is imported, they need housing TODAY.

No two ways about it, 1M births every year is a lot more sustainable from a new housing perspective than 1M immigrants every year (on top of births!).

I think the problem is largely the enormous wealth extraction from the working class (this includes any working person, including high-tech and finance workers) to the old asset-owning class. Property prices (and rents) and income taxes are setup in such a way to effectively drain you of any potential wealth accrual. You simply cannot reach escape velocity in almost any job.

If you are a high-earning knowledge worker - you will be taxed to the pips, pay some of the highest OECD childcare costs, pay >= 35% of your paycheck in rent alone. The median house to median earnings ratio in even second cities like Manchester, Leeds and Newcastle are comparable to San Francisco. The older generation living an index linked lifestyle are completely immune to seeing these effects.

I've lived in the US too - there is a huge cultural difference in how house prices are treated. Even home owners bemoan high house prices, because they increase their property taxes. This is a huge cultural blind spot in the UK. And a similar system would be enormously helpful (but not exhaustive) in terms of incentives.

I had a situation once when Ubuntu did literally not go into the Desktop Environment anymore, but all I did was update and upgrade packages and it started working again.
> A certain political bent seems to believe that everyone in the world has some undeniable right to emigrate wherever, whenever.

A straw man argument. (No doubt such people exist, but on the fringe.) From that you build an unfounded binary argument.

It’s just basic logic: just because it’s not a good idea to let anyone immigrate anywhere without restriction doesn’t make it a good idea to put people in prison on scant evidence.

(I wonder why do you image that when basic principles of justice and the rule of law like due process are gone, this won’t be turned on you and yours?)

> …involved in violent crime. Should their offspring automatically become citizens of said European country?

An entirely separate question, is it not? Unless you’re saying criminality is inherited?
The hard fact is that enough people can, if only judging by how over-subscribed many of these amenities are. Whether or not this is sustainable remains to be seen - I certainly have bones to pick with the IMHO unwise government policy decisions that are pricing essential service workers out of the area - London can not function on bankers, lawyers and techies alone.
Wouldn’t this just be a function of the system prompt, which defines GPT as “You are a helpful assistant”, so it is trying to draw the hypothetical helpful assistant as defined by the original prompt and its assistant training.

Also increased longevity. Where we once had three generations alive now it is four. Where I live is full of aging single people clinging on to their family homes.
I mean, it depends on what your life is like too, as priorities are different.

As I have a young child, and perhaps more children in the future, having good restaurants isn't as important as being able to afford a 3 or 4 bedroom house. And this is pretty unaffordable not just in London (which probably isn't the best place to raise children anyway) but across the entire South East.

I agree that it has excellent work opportunities though, which is partly the problem - the best jobs in the UK are all concentrated there.
Or is the main factor foreign investors treating residential property as an investment, rather than somewhere to live in?

"Will not" != "can't".

While I agree it's unlikely that the UK government will, such a building policy absolutely can be made to happen.

> if we did, that would be to maintain the current prices, not to decrease them.

Depends on the policy. UK used to have local councils building and owning property specifically to be cheap enough for working people to afford. This has different incentives than getting the same number of units built by private investors.

this is pretty much exactly how my "forth" handles tail call elimination, and it's the main thing that's added the quotes so far since it shifts the mental burden to being aware of this when writing code to manipulate the return stack.

as you imply towards the end, i'm not confident this is a trick you can get away with as easily without the constraints of concatenative programming to railroad you into it being an easily recognizable pattern for both the human and the interpreter.
> Since it's UB this gives a license to do whatever the f we want, including something that's clearly not at all what the dev intended

That’s really not how it works.

Compilers rather works in terms of UBs being constraints (on the program), which they can then leverage for optimisations. All the misbehaviour is emergent behaviour from the compiler assuming UBs don’t happen (because that’s what an UB is).

Of note, Rust very much has UBs, and hitting them is as bad as in C++, but the “safe” subset of the langage is defined such that you should not be able to hit UBs from there at all (such feasibility is what “soundness” is about, and why “unsoundness” is one of the few things justifying breaking BC: it undermines the entire point of the langage).

> I find it refreshing, however, that the "we are the evil empire now" idea is getting out of the closet. Call a spade a spade.

“Good” and “evil” are moral constructs that haven’t played a meaningful role in documented geopolitics since at least the 4th century BC.

There’s a well-known quote often attributed to Hastings Ismay that captures NATO’s original purpose. I won’t paste it here as it might come off as a bit harsh, and I’m not trying to drag this discussion out further.

> That's a fantasy, unless you think Germany is occupied by the USA. But that's not the case.

Circling back to Germany—I honestly can't think of a more humiliating moment for any NATO member than this[^1]. Sure, Mr. Biden was more aesthetically pleasing than Mr. Trump but take a moment to consider the symbolism and the signals sent to ally nations. Regardless of media narratives, the events of September 26, 2022, marked a turning point that fundamentally altered Germany’s economic path and future. It was a hostile act on a massive scale, and its consequences are undeniably real for the country.

That is confusing the reasoning that led to the company footing the bill versus what was being looked at here. The lack of VOCs is actually in the author's favor as it eliminates "exposure to atypical VOCs" as an otherwise fairly severe confounding factor.
