> Diluting the term, particularly on this precipice, is incredibly dangerous.

It's already diluted, you've already lost the battle, but I neither believe it is dangerous nor do I believe it improper.

What I think is dangerous is this game of semantic precision you're playing where we lose the forest from the trees. I think we should be frightened of and wringing our hands about is not a dictionary definition, it's what we're literally seeing: never mind we know where they are at, we know that right now many are not being given due process and there are active attempts to subvert any attempts at them (i.e., rapidly moving to a more friendly district in LA, putting on planes faster than lawyers can respond).

If someone got black bagged and flown to a CIA black site in Yemen, would you "Well, actually" me if I said they'd been disappeared just because we know they're in a Yemen black site? Maybe you would, and I'd roll my eyes then too.

> Going off sworn statements to courts (again, something victims of disappearance do not get), a few hours.

The same courts whose authority is either being actively challenged AND actively ignored by the Executive branch, including so far in this exact case? The executive branch who has punished its DOJ lawyers for being candid with judges? The executive branch who fully controls the relationship with the government housing the detainment facility and who is the only route to fixing this issue? How many more breaks in normalcy and functioning governance do you need to see before you start doubting their good faith responses, much less effort?
How much money is the USA paying El Salvador to run this human torture operation? What a disgrace.

On working with Devin: Yes, right now we're focused on code review, so whatever AI IDE you use would work. In fact, it might even be better with autonomous tools like Devin since we focus on helping you (as a human) understand the code they've written faster.

Interesting idea on multiple AI models --we were also separately toying with the idea of having different personas (security, code architecture), will keep this one in mind!
The USA and the EU more or less have had even import duties. The USA averaging out at 1.47 % and the EU at 1.39 %. [1]

The EU has been advocating for a free-trade agreement, the TTIP, with the USA from 2013 on. It was buried in 2016 by the 45th president of the USA, who somehow thought it unfair. The EU has proposed a free-trade agreement only a few weeks ago. [2]

You may believe what you want, but at least in dealings with the USA the EU has always promoted free trade. Even Fox News acknowledges that ;)

I think that’s just an artifact of twitter’s history. It was “normal” (increasingly algorithm slop driven) website until roughly 1-2 years ago when it was bought out and became maga slop.

Remember twitter came out in like 2007 when only tech people were on the internet.

Novartis plans to invest $23B in US sites as Trump renews tariff threats
There's various forms of democracy and many are not as chaotic as the US kind in regards to long term plans.

A good example is the general global approach to Net Zero. It's slow, methodical, science based, negotiated.

But if anyone brings up planning for 2050 it's usually in the context of "It's all bullshit, politicians are crap, they're just lying to you and kicking the can down the road till they retire" (and if you scratch the surface you'll have even chance that the person saying that has been radicalised into not even believing there's a problem to be solved).

But only the US is in and out of the Paris agreement etc.
> ...when the 10-year treasury starts rising during a market crash, it’s not a good sign. It means the world is losing faith in the U.S. ...

Not necessarily. It could also be that bond investors are concerned about inflation -- driven, for example, by rising prices of imported goods and services.

Scenario: someone builds a factory complex employing thousands of workers.

Right, but it’s interesting that means its reasoning abilities potentially drop off when it’s talking Thai, or its knowledge of WW2 history in the Eastern Theatre might drop off when speaking French, where the same model has no trouble with the same questions in English. My French and Thai are both rudimentary, but I’m working from the same set of facts and reasoning ability in both languages. Will it give different answers on what the greatest empire that ever existed was if you ask it in Mandarin vs Italian vs Mongolian?
The feedback mechanism on Twitter allows you to find useful discussions of current affairs in less popular topics. Can you find a good discussion of current events in agribusiness on Reddit? No. On Facebook? No. But if you open up Twitter and search for Arthur Daniels and you'll find something useful.

So, when the manager at a company wants to publicize, he has nowhere else to go.

Reddit is worse. Facebook is worse. Bluesky is a community that couldn't stand Twitter changing it's party line, so it's worse. Mastodon is complex and suffers from the same problems as Bluesky.

Putting aside the rah-rah patriotism, you perhaps don't understand the problem any better than Trump does. The moon mission to which you allude was difficult but, critically, that difficulty was not felt by most Americans: it was a challenge for NASA engineers. Trump's current economic plan will increase inflation, cripple America's role in world trade, and result in negligible increase in manufacturing in the short term. Wildly unpopular policies do not last in a democracy.

At least one of the issues was a high definition image of a degenerating disc, a child could diagnose it by comparing it to the image of a healthy spine, never mind an algorithm.

You would have no idea you had it without imaging, since in the early stages you feel nothing.

Now I can work to build up muscle around that area and avoid over exerting that part of my back, instead of dealing with pain and being prescribed opiates in 20 years. Another example of how the system has killed countless people and absolutely failed the public.
It's not so much that we lament the old internet, we lament that the new internet cannot be built because incumbents like google have distorted the playing field with shitty algorithmic SEO practices-- which really has nothing to do with 4chan at all.
"America Underestimates the Difficulty of Bringing Manufacturing Back"

"America" doesn't underestimate or overestimate things. People do. So which American people underestimate the difficulty of bringing manufacturing back? Name names, or it didn't happen.
I like that there can be wild places on the internet where people can pieces of shit. 4Chan had communist trolls, Jew-hating trolls, Zionist-trolls, pro-Christian trolls, anti-Christian pro-pagan trolls. It didn't foster any fascism in society. It was just a place where people could say mostly what they want.

Integration.

Unit tests should just test code units. All the external stuff should be mocked or not tested.

The example in the post is a unit test.

It’s good to keep it separate as unit tests are really easy to run and less complicated and much faster. Integration tests are much more complicated and often sort of freeze your code as it locks in the implementation.
That's my point: if CT scans cause cancer, cancer in the wrist or knee should be much more frequent among people who had a wrist or knee CT scan than among the general population. CT scans are relatively new, so there probably is a record in each patient's history.

Could anyone with a legal background explain to me why a judge hasn't declared all deportations to be on pause until legality is established for this pattern of detaining people without charging of anything, flying them out of the country before a petition can be filed wrt their detainment, and then claiming that because they're out of the country the US Gov't is powerless to facilitate their return?

Isn't that kind of what we want entropy to capture though? If a particle darts off into the distance then in theory it might be time reversible, but in practice it's not so simple. If the particle escapes the gravitational pull, the only way it can come back is if it bumps into some other object and pushes that object away. So things will inevitably spread out more and more creating an arrow of time.

This can then be related to the big bang, and maybe it could be said that we are all living of the negentropy from that event and the subsequent expansion.

Getting different entropy values based on choice of units is a very nasty property though. It kinda hints that there is one canonical correct unit (plank length?)
Yeah the ATF is a shit show of an agency with a strong history of fucking up in violent and unconstitutional ways - but unfortunately, their search warrant execution and 'raids' are completely standard operating procedure for US police.

> To paraphrase Kennedy

What in the modern situation suggests the comparable level of diligence in approach to the goal? The fact that both goals are far-reaching does not suggest comparability of approaches to the solution.

Changing the way society/economy operates is nowhere near "building X," whatever X is, whether it's something hard like a bomb or a collider.

> We will do it, and we will win, whatever that means.

How do you know that you haven't won already? Shouldn't the end goal be clear? In the case of Kennedy you're referring to, criteria and motivation were clear.

To a non-US bystander, your comment sounds like a no-thinking patriotic slogan. The details of the article are such that you can take any argument and bring it into discussion in order to show its irrelevance. But we're discussing slogans irrelevant to the situation and belief in the win, even though the win is not defined.
Do you think Trump has some ideas on fixing healthcare or school? Is there even a consensus on what needs fixed?

You've said re healthcare that "socialism isn't the answer" - assuming you mean "I don't want a single-payer or free-at-the-point-of-use system" then I'm not sure what is the answer then. They've currently got some of the worst health outcomes on the planet despite spending amongst the most per-capita. They can either try more privatisation or maybe give something like Medicare For All a shot...

And re "fix school" you seem to suggest that shop class needs to be more widespread and maths teachers just need to be more enthusiastic? If the idea is to give kids more options then things like making sure that there are widely available apprenticeship programs and technical colleges to develop these skills, as well as strong (dare I say, union) jobs waiting for them when they complete their training.

And re maths teachers, if it's anything like the UK I suspect that teachers are being expected to do more with less at every stage of schooling. They handle more kids per class with fewer teaching assistants available. They need to handle more diverse lessons than before because there are insufficient PE teachers, Music teachers, Drama teachers etc). They're having a tougher time with kids behaviourally due to the rise of social media and a broader economic decline that causes a whole host of social issues that end up being schools' problem. Having poor school system is a symptom of greater societal problems, you don't fix schools without solving those (sidenote: you also don't solve those by pointing the finger at vulnerable communities like immigrants and LGBTQ+). Telling maths teachers to be a bit more enthusiastic doesn't fix any of that, it just makes the maths teachers hate their job a bit more.

Absolutely. Everything in tech is hugely funded by tax payer money.

Modern semiconductor manufacturing is nearly all researched in partnership with federal funding. It's viewed as a national security issue.

The best theory I've heard so far is that Trump has this wild idea that if he can tank the US economy into a recession/depression then he can renegotiate our debt. He thinks this will save the US trillions of dollars. Except it'll cost the US trillions of dollars as well. I don't know if he's smart enough to think this up but it does kinda seem like what he's doing.
Imposing their will isn't waste as far as the administration is concerned. All acts, right or wrong can be spun as them doing something.

And the current administration doesn't care about "waste", they only care if the given policy, department, money advances their goals / corruption and etc. They're happy to waste in that context.

My last round of interview all stemmed from posting on the Who Wants to be Hired thread. I examined a few months of previous posts and looked for descriptions people had written that stood out and looked good. I went back and looked at a previous month I had posted and noticed that post by me didn't stand out. I added a well written prompt about what I was looking in an organization and a role and I feel like that helped to give color to who I was compared to a giant list of technologies I'm capable of working with.

I also received feedback from people who reached out that they went and read my personal website / blog; that gave them better insight into who I was. Don't underestimate the fact that soft skills and communication go a long way in the interview process and software engineering as a whole. Having a blog, which demonstrates the ability the communicate over a written medium, I feel is a great way help yourself stand out. It isn't a requirement to land a job, but I think it helps.
The weird part for me is this:
While the economy was evolving, Production was offshored from US for cost-reasons, but also in part to focus on higher-skill labor in US, delegating the low-skill mass-production to China.

Over time, China also developed mid/high level skills, complemented their low-skill production offering with it and now competes in new industries, new tech, etc.

So...to compete with China, the country with 4x the US-population, the solution is that low-skill labor needs to return to US....?

Shouldn't instead the focus be to again foster mid/high-skill labor, moving the part that is offshored again towards low-skill labor...?

An odd claim, since NPR getting defunded is itself a retaliation from the current administration for not reporting positively enough about Trump.

They did. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that while the President is in charge of foreign policy, and can deport people however, these people have to see a court room before they are deported. Yesterday, Trump made various statements that heavily leaned towards not obeying that order. The rest of the Republican Party supports these actions.

That's where we're at at the moment.
