You are being needlessly obtuse. If you are not going to at least pretend to be acting in good faith, then you just shouldn't comment at all.

> The United States government is not allowed to regulate commerce unless it is interstate

This isn't true even in the slightest. You are thinking of the Commerce Clause (Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution), which states that Congress has the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations, between states, and with tribes (which are kinda foreign nations).

This does not state that the Federal Government cannot define what is legal and illegal. This is done pretty regularly. 24 states have legalized weed and 39 have made it available for medical use, YET it is still illegal under federal ruling and these dispensaries get raided by Federal Agents routinely. There is no violation of the Constitution here.

I'll admit that my previous comment was quite terse, but I make a better point over here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43606823

And remember, law doesn't work like code. It needs to be interpreted with intent. The letter of the law is imprecise and is not meant to be absolute. If you know what someone means, don't derail the conversation as if you have a gotcha. You're welcome to request better language, but you don't "win" by misrepresenting what is well understood.

In the US we are at all time lows for internal migration. Or at least very close to them, I haven’t checked those stats in a couple years since this last came up on HN.

We used to (as a population) migrate to opportunity far more than we do now.

An FPGA-based LGP-30 Replica
For years I’ve been pressured to have an answer to the question right there, on the spot, no matter what. Interviews drill that into candidates (rote memorization prioritized over critical thinking), the “Agile” methodology and ceremonies tech companies adopt (in part, never in whole) force it, and modern leaders demand it.

And look, just because my OCD means I can answer it in the moment, doesn’t mean I want to. I want to take time to solicit feedback, and talk with my colleagues, and sleep on a decision. It just feels like careful decision-making and feedback cycles are antithetical to the modern “why wasn’t this done before I heard about it in my leadership magazine” business world.
the reciprocal tariffs against US services will hit mostly blue states (and "blue" people), thus achieving domestic political goals.
I agree those digits are not significant in the context of the question asked. But if the AI is going to use that level of precision in the answer, I expect it to be correct.
So none of the stuff you’re using qualifies as “adult projects”?

>My first games involved hand assembling machine code and turning graph paper characters into hex digits. Software progress has made that work as irrelevant as chariot wheel maintenance.

Given the importance even today of understanding assembly compilation towards low level game performance, I'm surprised he'd say this. It wasn't rendered obsolete, it was abstracted away from most of the stack. Meanwhile you need to understand assuembly even more intimately to look under the hood of a modern day game or game engine. esoteric does not mean outdated.

>AI tools will allow the best to reach even greater heights, while enabling smaller teams to accomplish more, and bring in some completely new creator demographics.

Okay, I'll believe it when I see it. You said the same about Oculus. I'm not even doubting that VR will evolve to a revolution one day. But technology's march can be slow at times.

And that's one of my top 3 problems; I think like VR's hardware barrier, AI is hitting barriers on how iterations with LLMs work. It seems industry's been brute forcing it and we clearly hit a wall already. But we haven't rethought the approach yet. We're just promising and prpmising.

>there will be far better exemplars of the medium still created by dedicated teams of passionate developers.

Depends on how legal proceedings go. At least Quake is Open Source and kinda free ( I think). The vast majority of games probbaly won't let you train that easily. They spent decades making it as hard as possible to back them up, after all.

>“don’t use power tools because they take people’s jobs” is not a winning strategy.

If industry is going to fire you anyway, it's the only move. If industry worked on fostering workers instead of replacing them, they wouldn't be worried. Instead it's finally starting to unionize to protect itself.
> It's not even per token. The routing happens once per layer, with the same token bouncing between layers.

They don't really "bounce around" though do they (during inference)? That implies the token could bounce back from eg. layer 4 -> layer 3 -> back to layer 4.
Ideally, shouldn't this be the native experience of most "sites" on the internet? We've built an entire user experience around serving users rich, two dimensional visual content that is not machine-readable and are now building a natural language command line layer on top of it.

I - like ~20% of the humans of planet earth - have a bridged LAD coronary artery. The vast majority of those who have this congenital deformity will never know it and remain asymptomatic; a small cohort of those will, like me, have a minor heart attack and fully recover - a smaller cohort will die of sudden cardiac arrest, many of them males in their teens while practicing football or performing similar cardiac stressing events. Unfortunately determining this congenital deformity requires invasive radiological imaging - hopefully this technology will assist in it's identification sooner.
There is no intellectually satisfying answer, in the form or a mathematical proof.

For if there were, then your liberty to reject that objective truth would stand diminished.

I can only tell you, for example, that "form follows function", not offer a proof that retires modern hedonism.

Interesting, I’d speculate that better hydration/hydration education and science play a part. While it used to be thought of as “part of the sport” it seems to be accepted that dehydration is really bad for you with no upside at all and to be completely avoided.

> Javascript is Lisp in C's clothes? On what basis?

On a lot of bases. Javascript has real lambdas, a sort of homoiconicity of code and data (hence JSON as a data format), also has the same dynamic take as lisps on "types belong to data". Rather than variables types belong to values. Brendan Eich's original idea was literally to "put scheme in the browser" and you can in fact pretty easily convert the Little Schemer to JS.

Saying two languages don't have much in common because they don't have the same syntax is a bit like saying we don't have much in common because we don't have the same hair color.

Except: In every practical application that Joe Average has ever experienced, the battery memory problem was only ever a mere myth. (A widely-parroted myth, but a myth nonetheless.)

I feel that your example portrays the opposite of what you may have intended it to portray.

What actually happened was that people went out of their way to do a thing that not only did not improve the overall longevity of their rechargeable batteries, but may have actually made it worse.
Because algorithmic curation shifted from what's quality to what's "sellable". That's a part of why you get sentiments that "media got worse". Hardcore media fans will still scour and find proper curations themselves (or be he curator), but the default of just letting Spotify or Netflix tell what's "quality" is long over.

Another little cut on why people are trusting big tech less ad less.

True, but it also means that most people are used to this and don’t even question it. Which means no overflowing garbage bins or the need to service them in the middle of nowhere.
It's interesting that Amy Coney Barrett sided with the dissent and not Roberts. The big ruling will be on returning the Maryland man who was accidentally deported to an El Salvadoran prison.

Quartz wasn't "destroyed" by cynicism; it collapsed due to its own financial unsustainability.

Investors didn’t kill Quartz—they stopped subsidizing losses once it was clear Quartz couldn't become self-sufficient.

The "cynical" narrative obscures Quartz’s fundamental flaw: lack of a viable business model.

Calling Quartz a victim overlooks that it repeatedly failed commercially, despite many chances and significant investment.

Ultimately, Quartz’s fate wasn't about cynicism, but about investors deciding to stop throwing money into a losing bet.
For people that want more data, I always go back to this study which I find fascinating. I run once per week and 7 miles at a time.

Something like that seems to have the best outcomes (will it help you not die?) and it fits with how I feel. Running more than once a week always made me get worn down. My best 5k time came from running one long run a week and lifting weights the rest of the week. I was effectively just wasting my time with the other runs in the week. I don't suggest this for a real professional runner, but for weekend warrior types like me, I think it works well. And I have won my age group before in a race, so I'm not a total novice.

The machine is "compiling" the video, not taking the creative helm.

That was the relationship we had for some 200 years. The machine automates and accelerates the predictable labor, and the creative heads composes and conducts the tasks.

As of late, we seem to want to flip the script under the guise that "we can make more content" without considering the impact on the creative process. Not how to drive the output, but just how to make more and more. Creativity be damned. That's the issue.
if I'm working in Cursor for example, ideally the entire chat history and the proposed changes after each prompt need to be stored. that doesn't fit cleanly into current git development patterns. I don't want to have to type commit messages any more. If I ever need to look at the change history, let AI generate a summary of the changes at that point. let me ask an LLM questions about a given set (or range) of changes if I need to. we need a more natural branching model. i don't want to have to create branches and switch between them and merge them. less typing, more speaking.

That’s a funny way to look at it, but that’s not a price that’s a policy. It doesn’t have the freedom from obligation that an exchange on price does.

Though I totally get what you mean and license terms are part of the cost that’s why a commercial offering with terms that can be negotiated and a price set to compensate for that seems a great option enough slack to capture the value for both sides.
This feels like arguing about semantics for arguments' sake.
Front end is definitely pretty hard nowadays. It seems like the technology should be easy but keep in mind you’re getting everything for free and this isn’t the field you have a ton of practice in.

Trust me, I get very confused and frustrated whenever I have to figure out python deps or kubernetes, but I accept it’s going to be difficult since I’m not familiar with the field.

From Sotomayor’s dissent:

The implication of the Government’s position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal.

This is the trick that VCs/investors use to justify certain behaviors (which I don't care to enumerate here). When you have terms with colloquial meanings and mean different things to different people, the terms are ripe for manipulation. As an example, there are people who still call Uber a "startup". It's very much not a startup in sense of the word, but yet there are still people who refer to it as such.
