I lost the thread a bit. Are we talking about Doge? Yes that is a abysmal. No defence for that.

But in general people need to learn some stuff on the job. E.g. hire an 18 year old hacker and by 20 they are leading projects, debugging code, preparing for SOC compliance etc. Is possible.
As a full-stack engineer who also studies UX, most UI solutions span from a desire for originality, aesthetics, etc. and not improved experience.

Which is what I loved about this article - it demonstrates a sizeable effort resulting in a UI implementation that is just not much better than having callouts / figures in the text- and then admits it.

>China is the real target,

To put it impolitely, bullshit. Zero rational analysis comes to this conclusion.

Trump began this idiocy by attacking Canada and Mexico, the very countries he triumphantly signed his trade agreement with just five years ago. He lied -- that's what he does -- about a made up Fentanyl emergency, but it's clear the guy loves tariffs (he's been going on about this for years, and still people try to pretend that isn't what this is about...amazingly everyone just assumes that everything out of his mouth is a lie). Outside of oil and gas the US has (or rather had) a massive trade surplus with Canada, but oh well that's a thing of the past now and will never return.

Then he attacked everyone else.

He did the same thing in term one. He could easily have gotten everyone onboard with strategies to contain or slow China, but instead he pushed everyone else away. He had adults in the room containing his profound sabotage of the US the first time, but this time he's going to speedrun the country to dissolution.

I get that the Trump faithful are desperately trying to do the 4D chess thing now. It will never work. The clown has no idea what he is doing, and has build such a cult no one can tell him how profoundly stupid he is. His treasury secretary is likely to quit in days.

> I'm kind of surprised guitars have stayed monophonic for as long as they have, and I feel like the next advance might be a cultural shift of guitars to a true polyphonic output path.

Guitars are now instruments mainly for backwards looking musicians. New players who want to use distortion want to reproduce the sounds of yesteryear, whether it be 70's hard rock or 90's metal.

It will not sound right without those intermodulation products. Even a simple double-stop blues bend with the G and B strings won't be right with separately distorted strings; you need to hear that beating warble arising from the difference of the frequencies, and how that beat frequency changes with the amount of bend. Intermodulation distortion in chords adds "grit", and that's an inseparable part of the attitude of the music.

Separately from that, guitarists can easily get their polyphonic jolies from playing cleanly.

There is also the whole world of guitars as MIDI controllers for synthesizers. The technology there is mature by now. You can get any sound you want, cleanly polyphonic.

In guitar, there this this bizarre movement of longing for vintage stuff and looking for authenticity in connection with the past. It's getting surreal and almost eerie when 20-somethings are making videos about guitars from 1950-something and pedals from 1979 and whatever. Kids are excited about stuff I thought was old and uncool in 1987. (Telecaster, WTF? Do I look like f'ing Bruce Springsteen?)

Probably the greatest development in guitar in recent years or decades is digital modeling. But what does that do? It is mainly backwards-looking. You have "amp models" which reference specific units or their archetypes. There is a lot of fuss about whether the tube sound is reproduced.
It’s interesting that my default prompt is exactly the opposite one: “do not write the code unless I ask for it specifically”. I like to use LLMs as a discussion partner, but writing code is trivial after a good discussion and I can do that myself
That was an extreme example to illustrate the concept. My point is that reduced/little creativity (which is what the current models have) is not indicative of a total lack of intelligence.

Using a Nix Flake also provides an easy way to add or remove tools, offering extensive customization based on your needs.
I've only taken duolingo in French for a few months a few years ago, have heard my girlfriend practice her Italian and I've spent some time around german people. Had Russian lessons and I have pretty good English and Lithuanian skills. I'm only fluent in the last two languages. I still understood most of your prompt. So I don't think this is a good test.

Reading that prompt again, I think watching some anime with subs helped too.
All true, but keep in mind the biggest boosters of LLMs have been explicitly selling it as a replacement for human intellectual labor--"don't learn to code anymore", "we need UBI", "muh agents" and the like.

That's true but it's not usefully true.

Even avoiding things like gerrymandering, are voters choosing politicians or are politicians choosing voters?

Do candidates send out emails asking for you to talk to your friends, or do they ask for more money? Do candidates have principled stances founded on an underlying philosophy, or do they focus on issues that are emotional in order to drum up support.

I think "why do candidates ask for money" is a very very important question to ruminate on as is "why are we talking about abortion and race rather than health and housing"?

Before a general election there is a primary and before a primary there is fundraising. In order to succeed in a primary, in general, you have to do OK at fundraising. Fundraising is not dissimilar to an election and it happens before primaries. This means money votes first, which is why it feels like we have a "democracy" approved of by those with money, we literally do.

Money votes first.

The Kora Borehole got to 12,262 metres deep, and was stopped due to a lack of funds.[1]

"""
Drilling penetrated about a third of the way through the Baltic Shield of the continental crust, estimated to be around 35 kilometres (22 mi) deep, reaching Archean rocks at the bottom.[13] Numerous unexpected geophysical discoveries were made:

During the drilling process, the expected basaltic layers at 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) down were never found, nor were basaltic layers at any depth.[14] There were instead more granites, deeper than predicted. The prediction of a transition at 7 kilometres was based on seismic waves indicating discontinuity, which could have been caused by a transition between rocks, or a metamorphic transition in the granite itself.[14]

Water pooled 3–6 kilometres (1.9–3.7 mi) below the surface,[14][15] having percolated up through the granite until it reached a layer of impermeable rock.[16][17] This water did not naturally vaporize at any depth in the borehole.[15]

The drilling mud that flowed out of the hole was described as "boiling" with an unexpected level of hydrogen gas.[18]

Microscopic plankton fossils were found 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) below the surface.[1]

As far as vocals go, I think it didn't take people long. I think overdriving the microphone mixer is probably as old as the recorded blues.

Hmm. Allow me to offer a counter perspective. You are arguing for a complete dismissal of someone's point of view, because you perceive the presented argument to be not an appropriate comparison. However, your response is that the conversation should be shut down and not address the points given. I do not think anyone in this thread is arguing it is not happening. Some of us are actually saying that there is a quite a slippery that we were taken down on. If it helps, it did not start in 2018 ( although some tactics did escalate in that period ).

And, I might add, in US, your work is not just your work. It is your healthcare, your network, your family's wellbeing. If you do not see why some of us consider it an issue, you, if you allow this blatant repetition of your phrase for a specific effect, are blind.

the problem is in your apparent conclusion that "people without a tribe" are only in that state because they hate company. which doesn't make sense. if they indeed hated company they would not do what you say is bothering you. the reason they come to the party alone and tell you about it is because they do want company but have difficulty finding that company. being a loner most often is not a choice. it is something that we force onto others because we don't accept them the way they are. those who are loners by choice are not the kind of people who go to parties.

what agency is it that i should have that would allow me to make friends with people? i can't use my agency to change the behavior of others. you are right of course that self pity and denial of agency don't help. but the comments you are responding to don't talk about that at all. they are not suggesting that people without a tribe wallow in self pity and denial of agency. you brought that up.

i am the kind of person that has difficulty finding a tribe. (my tribe is here on HN and in the FOSS community to an extent. but those people are all distant and hard to meet. btw, you are one of the few names on HN that i recognize because of interesting discussions we had already). except i don't show up at parties where i am not welcome and don't talk to people that don't want to listen to me. but that's why i used my agency to leave my home country and travel the world to find communities that accept others without judging them and without expecting them to change just for the sake of being accepted.

Not really a surprise. The TOS for the extension marketplace has been clear that it's only to be used for VS Code, that's why VSCodium doesn't use it. Cursor devs undoubtedly knew better, but kept breaking TOS and licenses, MS just chose a strategic moment to enforce the rules already in place.

Cursor not being an extension from the start seemed odd to me, and they wouldn't be in this rough spot if they had done that.

If there is no pre-existing trusted root, the certificate presented is meaningless to laypeople. There's no way for the average person to know whether to press yes or no to it, as they're not about to check the SHA256 fingerprint against some obscure web page they have to access from another device. Nobody gets official media anymore; everything is burned, flashed, or second hand. Self-signed is no better than unsigned if you don't know how or don't bother to check.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't be able to boot something you trust on a device you own, just that it's completely reasonable to have Microsoft's certificate preloaded.
No, I don't think I will. I enjoy exposing lies like "while the present behavior of the illiberal right is abductions and overseas slave camps" by pointing out that 2 out of 346 million is simply not that at all. I also enjoy pointing out lies like this:

> whatbaoutisms, pedantry, and goalpost moving

All three of these things are false. You know very well that 2 instances out of 346 million is none of those things. I don't know what to call this other than malice, because it's extremely clear to anyone with basic reading skills that the two data points provided do in no way support the claim "the present behavior of the illiberal right is abductions and overseas slave camps".
It's business or it's incentives make more sense.

Hypocrisy is a foolishly judgemental word, and it is anthropomorphising a jurisdiction. Western civ has advantages we don't decry - should we just cherrypick the things we don't like?

The main issue is Western laws are created by Western jurisdictions and if we don't like how the laws are used then the laws should be "fixed" (although maybe a bit better than the current attempt at a fix!)
There may not be zero tariffs in other countries, but the amount calculated by the Trump Admin doesn't account for them. It doesn't even consider them. It's as simple as "trade deficit by total volume". Unless you assume that, absent tariffs, trade would always be perfectly balanced (it won't be), then the difference is structural realities (such as certain climates growing things that can't be grown in the US).

They aren't reciprocal tariffs because the other countries don't have anything like comparable tariffs in place already.
