From another perspective, because you drive a symbol of the new authoritarian state armed state enforcers essentially offered to target people at your discretion and it reinforced your acceptance of state propaganda.

I'm not sure you realize it but in that moment you were given the opportunity to destroy the lives of any scapegoated person/group you could locate in the vicinity.

The administration has sought the most extreme charges and punishments possible for Tesla-related dissent, even advocating sending American citizens to CECOT. The ability to wield immense state violence in this fashion is worth protesting against!

I find your story a harrowing tale of how our new fascist state seeks to wield violence against the citizenry.

Many people feel that flagging is worse than it used to be, but they don't agree at all on what should or shouldn't be flagged. That makes this feedback less actionable than one might assume.

HN gets tons and tons of threads that are critical of LLMs, so it's possible that the ones you're seeing get flagged are just below median quality and/or overly repetitive of previous discussions.

What If ChatGPT Projects Allowed Teams and Shared Memory?
Hello
I'm a Pro user and I love the new Projects feature in ChatGPT — it's incredibly useful for long-term development.

I have two suggestions that would take this to the next level:

1. Project Groups (Grouped Workspaces): The ability to organize multiple related projects into a group where memory is shared across the group. This would help keep large, multi-part concepts organized (e.g., an app with backend, frontend, business plan, and content projects).

2. Team Collaboration: I’d love to create a team space where I can invite other Pro users to share a project or group. We could collaborate with ChatGPT together, like a virtual team assistant — working on the same canvas, having shared chat memory, and building things together in real time.

These features would be game-changers for small teams, startups, educators, and collaborators. Thank you for the amazing work you're doing!

Best,
Mohammed Rasam

RIP Val Kilmer: Celebrating cult classic Real Genius is now a moral imperative
HN does not welcome dissenting opinions in certain areas of tech where the individual freedoms of techies come into conflict with status quo social harms to non-techies; so, for example, you won’t see many HN articles about the ethical dilemmas of working at Palantir, how our industry’s libertarian foundations obstruct labor organizing today, what advantages the ‘bros’ receive in return for their misogyny, and so on. HN is a light-touch moderation site — as libertarian as possible, in keeping with our roots — so I certainly don’t hold the mods as responsible for the community’s defensiveness in that regard. In general, whether tech or otherwise, it’s not possible for a community to welcome uncomfortable dissent against its own underpinnings without a heavier hand on the moderation wheel than is cultural acceptable for HN and for our community. That doesn’t mean that HN rejects all dissent — certainly they may be other pillars of obstinance I haven’t personally identified and studied over the past fifteen or twenty years participating here — but, yes, absolutely, HN’s community has zero tolerance for certain dissent.

I did a lot of chemistry for a year when I worked as a QA for a pharmaceuticals company before going to uni.

So much so that when I did Chemistry at uni I got asked if I was cheating a few times in labs, until I explained.

It's actually really hard to get any experiment perfect the first time.

Even with a year's practice of measuring and mixing and titration and all the other skills you need, I'd still get low yields, or bad results occasionally. Better than everyone else, but still not perfect.

I also noticed that the more you do a particular process, the better results you will get. Just like practicing a solo on an instrument lots, or a particular pool shot, or cooking a particular meal. There's a level of learning and experience needed for each process, not all chemistry in general.
Many thanks for the warm welcome, everyone.

It’s been a privilege to help support this community and to work alongside dang, who has been a great friend and mentor for many years. It’s a great responsibility, to keep HN a healthy and thriving community, and I’m continually amazed to see all the ways dang puts thought and energy into it.

One final note is that it was never part of the negotiations that I was expected to know or learn Arc, yet somehow in the onboarding process the HN Arc repo has found its way onto my machine, so it feels like the bait and switch is on…
This is well handled.
Quite the opposite. You were the one who brought up how many words they wrote, when we can just look at the glaringly obviously results which were there solar city failed.

One major problem is when people presume that their simplistic understanding of a subject is factual, and that everyone else is going off emotion. For example, some people will erroneously claim that the 2 genetic human options are "XX = woman, XY = man". Those seem to be the most likely combinations, partly because we don't collect DNA from 100% of the population and compare it to the observed anatomy, but they're clearly and documentedly not the only options.

Even without considering trans people, it's factually untrue that "XX = woman, XY = man, and those are the only possibilities." And yet, people who stopped at high school biology will argue until they're blue in the teeth that anyone with a more nuanced take is anti-science.

Title: The Retro Subway Map That Design Nerds Love Makes a Comeback
Yeah, I've definitely noticed that people respond well to unusual styles as long as you wear it with confidence. For example, I sometimes wear a pocket watch when I dress up. It's not in vogue or anything, but I think they're cool and I don't really care whether or not anyone else does. The funny thing is, I've had multiple people tell me that they appreciate my pocket watch thing. I think maybe people are attracted to authenticity, when someone has the confidence to do their own thing for their own sake rather than worrying about others' opinions.
We can agree to disagree
This is the right way to frame it. Trump hasn't got a W-2 from the FSB. But it looks very likely that he, his family, and many people around him or who influence him, have been targeted for influence, bribery, blackmail, etc.

There might be an outright Robert Hanssen in that set of people. Or not. But that's not the important thing.

That, in science, is called "lying".

Either you publish the range of results, the average plus standard deviation or average plus standard deviation of a subset with the exclusion criteria and exclusion range. Picking a result is a lie, plain and simple, and messiness is not an excuse.
I think the comment is referring to “Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote”.
The damage to Tesla's brand is irreversible. Musk has done literally everything in his power to alienate the core EV-buying demographic and the product itself is no longer unique or even particularly competitive. Maybe tariffs can prop up Tesla's auto business for a while longer but otherwise his only hope is for the MAGA set to suddenly pull an ideological 180 on EVs.
Speaking as a CS Education reviewer, some of the criteria can be "signing up to review", though solicitation is often sent to professionals in the domain (through personal requests or blanket email campaigns), as well as through respective mailing lists. I review papers for I think 4-5 conferences, mostly because I have colleagues that serve/publish in those spaces (you declare conflicts of interest to avoid bias).

Each publisher/conference have their own reviewing guidelines to follow, but at least for the conferences I've reviewed for they include: a summary (2-5 sentences tops), the strengths of, the weaknesses of the research, and potentially your opinion on the piece. You are typically asked to include your familiarity with the research space since you may be reviewing methodologies that you were not explicitly trained in. This all distills into a metric that effectively reflects "this paper should be accepted/not accepted" which is then handed to a 'senior' reviewer to summarize for the conference to decide. All of my conferences are double-blind single submission, but I have colleagues that are able to respond to reviewer critiques.

Most conferences recognize things like grammatical issues can happen, so reviewers are asked to only point them out rather than use them as a basis for rejection; however if the paper is riddled with mistakes, then it can be grounds for rejection. Likewise, since CS Education is a combination of CS and cognitive psychology, some of the discussion can be attributed toward "appropriateness for CS education research". For example, I once reviewed a paper that clearly was including theater-based education techniques but had CS shoehorned in one paragraph (that was it). Alternatively, measuring time delays in student responses to a tutoring system can help distinguish when students become distracted or take a break.
My issue is it seems like something has to only be a bit controversial to be completely hidden from everyone. There was the recent DF article about how Gruber thinks his articles are being artificially shitlisted and I can't help but agree? I don't necessarily think the mods have their fingers on the scale, but I wouldn't be surprised if the algorithm works in a way where if enough people flag something it gets automatically hidden, and there's enough people who see DF and automatically flag it that those blog posts get hidden every time.

How would knowing the full path help you anyway? It's either in "/usr/bin/sl", or "/usr/local/bin", or "~/.local/bin", now what?

By the way, believe it or not, POSIX compliance requires existence of only two directories (/dev and /tmp) and three files (/dev/console, /dev/null, and /dev/tty) on the system; everything else is completely optional, including existence of /bin, /etc, and /usr.
I'll just add one thing I learned: what people do is way more important than what they say or what their politics is.

I now find it much more practical to focus on things we can agree on and actually do something about in the real world and try to build from that.

Generic political debates are not very actionable and they are risky for social reasons mentioned in the article, so I think they are largely a waste of time with negative externalities.

I do think that a scary thing is that if there's a descent into fascism, how many people will hardly notice, or maybe even enjoy it. There was a quote I heard on this American life recently, that went:

"Life under autocracy can be terrifying, as it already is in the United States for immigrants and trans people. But those of us with experience can tell you that most of the time, for most people, it's not frightening. It is stultifying. It's boring. It feels like trying to see and breathe under water — because you are submerged in bad ideas, being discussed badly, being reflected in bad journalism and, eventually, in bad literature and bad movies."

> Two of the people said they were in or have direct knowledge of at least 20 such chats. All four said they saw instances of sensitive information being discussed.

Are they adding just everybody under the sun in these chats or only those who think wouldn't be traitors? For example I can understand one snitch being added by mistake. But four snitches?

That's a lot of snitches in my book.
Honestly, likely not that much. From what I've found you can get recommended dosage and more from just eating the right foods. Right meaning foods rich in what you're looking for. Now in context that may be hard for some people or they just don't like those foods. So supplementing makes sense.

Though I'm not sure who decided the ʻokina needed its own character rather than the traditionally used apostrophe. It's a pain to type without a Hawaiian keyboard.

Besides, the Hawaiian diacritics are not part of English orthography, so the name of the state (and the big island) is just "Hawaii" in English. In Hawaiian, it's Hawaiʻi.

I feel like a cash reward would help not only with motivation in the obvious way, but also by giving people social permission to act weird, since the human on the other side will understand that you're doing it to help both of you win the money.

Perhaps the final form of this experiment will always consider the reward value (for results better than chance, since zero effort for $0.5*X is better than full effort than $X), and we could track the increase in the necessary reward to distinguish over time. There might be a casino game in there somewhere, though collusion between human witnesses and interrogators might become a problem as the stakes get high.

This concept is a bit too advanced for me (or the page is too minimal to easily understand), but it sounds fascinating. I'll read up more on it, thanks.
For sure. I've had comments flagged that I thought were perfectly reasonable and non-controversial. My first reaction was to be angry and annoyed. But then my kinder angels suggested that perhaps I phrased my idea poorly and people misunderstood that I was largely agreeing with them, or at least very respectfully disagreeing. And then I decided to be more careful with my phrasing next time.
We don't delete posts unless their authors ask us to. The most that happens to a user-flagged or otherwise moderated post is that it does into the [dead] state, and [dead[ posts aren't deleted. They remain visible to anyone with 'showdead' turned on in their profile.

There's a hilarious Spongebob bit [0] where Squidward is teaching an art class, and he starts off in that exact manner of trying to draw a perfect circle, only to have Spongebob subvert the entire idea. The whole episode is artistic gold IMO.

New Model Y deliveries didn't really get to a good pace in the US until about mid-March.

Toward the end of the month, people said the new Y delivery was "same day" in the US. I looked and saw a few available, but only really specific color and wheel combinations. By the end of the quarter, those were gone and delivery times had jumped to ~2 weeks. All of this stuff varies a bit regionally, but it doesn't seem like they were sitting on meaningful inventory at the end.

I don't think extrapolating from this quarter to anything is particularly easy. It will get even more confusing in the second half, and next year, as they start self-delivering for "robotaxi" operations.
Does it taste better than Yerba Mate? That is definitely an "acquired taste" and while you can get used to it and even like it as much as tea, I don't think it can hold a candle to coffee.
Mercedes lead with "silver" cars decades ago such that the color itself meant luxury. Other car manufacturers (and car buyers) then followed.
Cool! On a quick glance, it doesn't seem like the group/layer index is provided to the compression model. That might help a bit with fidelity at pretty low additional cost.
This is my feeling exactly. I also don't want to be discussing politics here and have used the "hide" function many times since 2009. But this is bigger than everything we'be been discussing here in all that time, and if we don't fight back soon everything we have will be lost.

"H90F3iJsjo$(4ORma1sSKX@)!2k"

Is that a clearer example of what I'm trying to say? In the second example, because every symbol stands out, no symbol stands out. Or to put it more technically, noise has overwhelmed any signal.

Precisely. I make a clear distinction between my friends and my acquaintances. My friends would do anything for me, my acquaintances, not so much.
I have been in countries like that and I've found they were quite open to talking to me about it, since I was obviously a foreigner much less likely to snitch on them than even their family or friends. Buy a beer for someone in a dictatorial country and I pretty much guarantee you they will open up in private.
In my case, my goal isn't to change anyone's mind. It's to preserve sanity -- I can't in good faith "pretend" to get along and have normal conversations when people are actively engaging in behavior that directly harms myself and others.
No, that's complete nonsense.
But this is the difference between friends and acquaintances. My friends are more likely to share my views, but even if they didn’t talking about this stuff would not damage the friendship since it’s beyond ideology and more about shared sacrifice and loyalty.
