Existence of AI slop has nothing to do with whether the tech itself is exceeding or falling short of its hype. It exists because it's good enough for advertising, the cancer on modern society that metastasizes to every new medium and technology, defiling and destroying everything it touches.
This also gets into the evil of parallel construction, where unconstitutional or at least beyond-voter-awareness method is used, and they make up a different reason afterwards.

It's just odd to me.

I mean, yeah the Democrat party sucks.

Here's this "macho tough guy" that wears a diaper, lifts, and makeup...who's famous for bankrupting a casino (twice), and was known for decades as a cartoon character, a clown, a moron. They hear the "on day 1" promises that won't ever get resolved. They see what happened the last time this guy took the wheel.

You said america worked hard to get rid of manual factory jobs and then you gave the example of China as a state that followed their neoliberal example. But China is the Earths factory and they have hundreds of millions doing manual factory work. You contradicted your own arguments. Not sure what you are asking me right now.
Because the policy is not the issue. Trump has never been consistent or carried through much on policy; he lies to everyone. It's the politics and ideology - extreme reactionary politics of destroying 'liberals' regardless of the cost.

> Our litmus test for AI agents: Does the AI system perform actions under its own identity?

So service accounts are agents? This seems pretty thin.

In AI an "agent" is simply any code/workflow/automation that utilizes an LLM to respond to broadly defined external/environmental stimuli and decide how to react given broadly defined motivations and/or objectives.

Not agent: Document comes in -> If invoice return key-value pairs to make API call with.

Agent: Document comes in -> You're a finance professional: decided what to do with this document. Here are the tools/actions available to you: X, Y, Z.

Both use AI and can achieve the same thing, but one is "agentic", while the other is deterministic.

Current email encryption schemes provide no forward security, it's nothing like Signal. Key management has to work totally different.

You're also wrong in the aspect that it would undermine something, you can absolutely export keys from Protonmail, you just can't use your own keys properly. You can't remove all the keys they have generated, you can't use your own client with your own keys, the bridge literally mucks it up. The defaults can be what they are, it's not mutually exclusive in any way.

In the end this restriction undermines the security and privacy for everyone that want to use secure hardware storage. Which is absolutely insane for a service that boasts about these things.

Only when they're not covered by trees, snow, other cars, are not damaged, workers didn't forget to uncover them, etc. And from time to time you will sync with a car in another lane just the right way to miss the sign.

> GPS is pretty accurate

Often. Yet, I will regularly get placed on the wrong road in larger cities. It doesn't have to be a highway speed problem - since the idea is automated enforcement, going 10k/h over the limit of the parallel street is already an issue.

> we could make a more accurate map enforcement system

Maybe in a distant future. Right now, we're at step 0: there's no publicly available accurate digital map of all streets. There are various segments in different agencies, there are global commercial maps, and there are community efforts. Until that's solved, the issue is moot.

> Coming from a UK background something I've been long curious about is is there a constitutional reason for when the opposition presidential candidate is selected.

That's a very interesting point. On the other hand, the GOP did have a leader through the Biden administration - Trump.

Even when they don't, such as under Obama, they do have effective means (Fox, social media, etc.) and content (effective, disciplined talking points) of communication. The Dems have neither.
They create artificial scarcity by buying up all stocks everywhere nationwide. They've got capitals to do so.

This is only true in the ordinary situation of using tariffs. Such as targeting specific markets or exports in order to bolster the local market.

Tariffs on literally everything have an immediate outsized impact as businesses need to rapidly readjust and renegotiate prices on everything. Not only that but there's the second order effects too, such as Trump's interactions with Canada resulting in destroying tourist and seasonal travel from up north to the border states.

I never bothered publishing it, since I never really wanted to maintain it/build a business out of it. Would this be something you are interested in, potentially for a small fee?
I'm not sure where I see we disagree?

I actually agree with everything you said, mostly just want people whose views are actually tribal and not open to discussion to acknowledge them as such, via:

"If someone is self-aware enough to consciously acknowledge their choice to remain in the bubble, that’s totally fair. I respect it like I’d respect anyone who chooses to participate in a more traditional religion. My issue is when this view is falsely passed off as an intellectually-driven one."

unless you're saying I shouldn't bother being polite and avoiding the convo at times, which I guess I disagree there

> Could you use it even on teams that aren’t using AI to generate code?

That's a great question that we haven't really talked about. The part of the AI codegen workflow that prompted this (no pun intended) is that it forces you to say/type aloud all your incremental intentions. It's the first time a tool has access to what was often previously inner monologue for most developers. But I know several developers who think aloud even without using AI (rubber ducking). But beyond just thinking aloud, using an AI code generator like Cursor Agent lets you express intent aloud and then easily change your mind (e.g. abandoning a code branch or using Cursor checkpoints)... the informal intent is right there next to the code for the first time.

Yes, comments could be that in theory. But in 70 years, I still don't think we've got a single fully commented codebase that includes fully documented product and technical intent.

Inferring intent is _really_ interesting. Though of course we have many examples where the code does not accurately express the intent (thank you, bugs). But could we bootstrap an intent store from existing code and then allow developers to validate and augment it with a more verbose process going forward? I think so.
It's terrifying to think that robots like this will probably be used in the defense industry at some point. If the robot understands something as general as "put the erasers away", imagine "kill all enemies".

> Yes but the cause was not American.

Yes, it was. America was setting up the scene for the pacific war by raising customs and tariffs on Japanese imports with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (1930). The Japanese were just democratizing when the US decided to kill their economy. Thus, the Japanese had one of two choices - take needed resources they purchased before by force, or accept a massive decline in standard of living. They decided to take the first route. Attacked the Chinese, and when the US started sanctioning it, eventually they bombed Pearl Harbour.

And don't forget how the Nazis were basically funded out of American pockets.

Just because the first shot was not fired by an American does not mean they were not the cause.
Musk's most basic skill is con artistry.

Now that these "investment professionals" bought what he was selling in a big way (they hold 70% of the stock), they are reluctant to admit they were snookered by selling and locking in their losses. Their upcoming performances bonuses hang in the balance.

I actually did it. This was back in the times when you could get a job the next day, and my new employer didn't want me keeping anything from the old employer by the time I started. Old employer was dragging their feet on the shipping label and made it clear that failure to return the equipment would be considered theft. I gave them a week of daily reminder emails with an approaching deadline (no response), then handed it to the cops as abandoned property. Got a few HR calls immediately afterwards asking how to pick it up, and an annoyed police call asking me not to do it again.

It can work, but I think it's harder to scale to something the size of HN without losing some of the important properties HN has.

As someone interested in "curious discussion", what are some of the positives we can take away from this? Is this a new standard for economic policy?
Uhh... Whether you're a citizen isn't a factor. There's no federal sales tax, although these tariffs act as an import tax that will increase the wholesale costs. And state sales taxes don't apply to imports or wholesale transactions, they are retail tax (or also often a use tax if a sales tax wasn't previously imposed).

VAT is not only a retail sales tax, it'll apply anytime the widget is somehow modified (value is added).

> When given the choice between food on the table / roof over their head / cash in the bank account and abstract values like "republican government", "rule of law" and "protecting human rights" etc. they will choose the former.

That's the opposite of the truth. Republican regions have long voted against their economic interests in favor of their values. Look at all the white working class people in the South that have long voted Republican over values, even as the GOP took away or blocked their benefits, education, health care, minimum wage, labor rights, etc.
1. It's not end-to-end encrypted by default.

2. No group chat, even a small one between close friends is end-to-end encrypted.

3. Almost all desktop clients support no end-to-end encryption for 1:1 chats, meaning if you use the desktop client as part of your workflow, you're forced to drop using the end-to-end encrypted secret chats.

4. No cryptographers have ever worked in the company.

5. Horrible teething issues for the protocol:

Telegram hosted a cracking contest back in 2013. Everyone in the industry know they are bullshit, and this was discussed back in 2013 The Fallacy of Cracking Contests (1998) | Hacker News The tldr is, Moxie issued a counter challenge to Telegram where he presented the same goals with already broken primitives like MD5, to break the encryption. Telegram never proved the challenge could be won even under those conditions. (Also again, given that Telegram’s built in backdoor of “people are lazy” exists, the cracking contest was pointless. It doesn’t matter how good the encryption is if the adversary wears you down to hand over the keys).

Trump is going for a 1-2 punch. First tariffs and then tax cuts to soften the blow of price increases. It also puts republicans in a choke hold to force the tax cut legislation through, because the fallout of tariffs with no tax cuts would be a death knell for the party.

Maybe in a sim city game this would balance out, but it's a tall order for a real world scenario. Prepare for a bumpy road ahead.

I mean that Trump started the tariff war. He doesn't understand them, or is knowingly lying about them, and waves them around like some magic wand. Those figures are terribly incorrect and misleading, which is par the course for Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media. Truth does not matter, only what people can be convinced to believe
I think asking another person or a friend who they voted for is not really "astonishing". It felt like you were using that to sort of show off your position as someone who both would never do that and hangs out with people who don't do that.

That is a good observation.

Primaries are actually a relatively recent innovation. Before that, the candidates just appeared from the party machines. All of the ugliness went on out of public view.

For the last several elections people complained that there wasn't much difference between Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. And there isn't. They are a center leftish (by American standards) bunch.

The party has a small wing further to the left, but it just isn't enough to put forth a strong candidate. That is the biggest ugliness we get now: they don't feel represented and often, they don't vote.
