A few years ago, a teacher friend accompanied me to Phoenix Comicon where there was a panel discussion on “Using Pop Culture In The Classroom”. Driving home, I confided to her that I may have been the only Republican in the room.

Then a few weeks later, I mentioned the panel to another friend from the same church. He was in his mid-20s, and an educator in independent Catholic and charter [liberal arts] schools.

He told me that teachers there were expressly forbidden from introducing pop culture references. I mean, it seems nice for a student to share an in-joke with teacher, but is that an inclusive environment and a safe space?

It is never an error to adhere to the curriculum and thus ensure that your class materials engage all the students with cultural and moral sensitivity.
I also don't use email subscriptions, unless it is my favorite person. But I don't know how many of them are subscribed via RSS.
No, it doesn't. There is a presumption that manufacturing is Better, a more ideal way of organizing the economy, based on a false nostalgia of America past.
Yeah, a plain old abdominal x-ray might've sufficed to diagnose that.

/g/entoomen taught me a lot about Linux too. The desktop and home server threads also have a lot of gold, people put a lot of effort into their systems. There are even Lisp generals. I remember people attempting the advent of code together and posting progress. There was one person who used a lot of Unicode in the source code.

Just yesterday I saw a rather interesting discussion about WD HDD internals and possible ways to figure out whether they are SMR drives. Shame this hack cut it short.

I know - I was a longtime IRC user way back when. You're still not quite groking my point. Lemme try and make it a bit more clear:

OP lamented that things like IRC meant that if you weren't always connected, you'd miss messages.

I simply posited, from a philosophical perspective rather than the technical perspective you are focused on, that it's OK for us to not be connected all the time. That not everything we miss is as important as we feel it might be when we think about missing out. That the truly important details will make their way to us one way or another.
Because you cannot hide the imbalance of disconnecting yourself from the material reality that's involved with making your lifestyle possible by outsourcing to other human beings, over multiple decades, without it coming back to bite you in one form or another.

See the hundreds of thousands of people in US that have died from opioid overdoses. 50% of the US population, specifically those living outside major metro areas, experienced a slow collapse (over decades) that was not unlike the fall of the Soviet Union.

A country should have _some_ semblance of what it is to truly source, manufacture, and produce the lifestyle that's made possible in the country. When the top 15-20% become completely disconnected from the other 80% working menial service jobs because the core manufacturing has been outsourced to outside the country, it will come back to bite you.

"Man must feel the sweat on his own brow" or at least have an appreciation for what makes this possible. Your comment essentially implies that you feel that you are above or should be disconnected from this reality, which is dangerous.
> I don't think you'd normally choose Go to train your ML/AI model. It has really only gunned for Python in the server realm

I don't think anyone ever claimed Golang will displace Python in the ML area. But in a world where Golang and Elixir exist (two languages with stacks that make starting a new web / API projects extremely easy, almost trivial), not to mention old-timers like Ruby, the amount of people reaching for Python for web / API projects is depressingly high. "Sunk cost fallacy", "one-trick pony", "Stockholm syndrome" and a few others come to mind when thinking about the programmers doing it.

it's not grammatically correct but reflects a pausing speaking style to avoid confusion generated from repeating the same word twice in a row, and also to emphasize the repetition (a thing becoming more of a thing after already being that thing).

There are plenty of people saying these tariffs will not work.

But a person used to be able to graduate high school and get a job that could support a house with a yard, a car, a non-working spouse and children.

How we get that level of prosperity back? That's the people really want. Tariffs are simply a means to that end.

I wish people would stop writing articles about 100% criticizing tariffs and instead write articles 50% about criticizing tariffs and 50% brainstorming alternative solutions to achieve the same objective.
My GitLab CI/CD pipelines are 100% code that I personally wrote or that I've personally reviewed and forked into our internal source control. Our entire business depends on this code, so the best possible course of action to me seemed to be 100% control.

The idea of just plugging in some black box script written by anyone who can update it at any time seems insane. What kind of idiot would trust something as sensitive as CI/CD with random unverified scripts you have zero control or oversight of? Apparently quite a lot of idiots.

lighttpd is awesome for a quick, local server on Ubuntu. One command installs it. You tell the firewall to allow it. Then, just move your files into the directory. Use a CDN, like BunnyCDN, for HTTPS and caching.

It's not only easy: it runs (or ran) huge sites in production.
But the important question is - is it worth it? Should we be doing something more valuable instead?
Absolutely. Canada for example should not be shipping lumber and oil to the United States for further refinement. It should be processed domestically.
Well, the assumption was based on the fact that they chose base 26, and that the "26" came from the use of a 26 character alphabet. The 10 Arabic numerals are then a convenient character set to expand to 36, which is a much nicer number base than 26.

Japanese could be combined with the Hindi character set to yield base 96, which is fairly convenient. Cyrillic would be harder -- perhaps the best options there would be to drop a character to yield base 32, or perhaps 3 characters to yield base 30.

I'd argue that base 60 is probably the optimal number base for nearly any use (with base 16 or 64 as close second and third for working with binary data). Hindi's 50 characters combined with our 10 Arabic numerals could indeed be a great way to get there.
Based on this thread I'm starting to believe that any static governmental system is a failure and it's the iterations that bring about prosperity.
My approach since I was in High School and started programming has always stayed the same.

It's actually very rare to have to innovate, starting from scratch. So whatever problems I need to solve, my first step is always looking for information. And more often than not, the solution is right there.

I don't spend much time at the keyboard. Most of my time is spent perusing books, articles, blog posts, and source code. Or talking to a domain expert. That's what will gave me the system design/architecture for what I want to build. Once that's done, it's pretty much a straight line, or better a spiral iteratively building and testing, going deep only when things matters.

This approach clashes with AI (at least from my POV), because they can't give you a coherent overview of a domain. It's always piecewise elements that are probably wrong in the problem's context, or just plain wrong.

I much prefer to go from general/introductory materials to very specific/advanced ones that matters with sources I trust.

As for the code, it's starting small, get it to work well, and then start on the next iteration. And thanks to the kindness of people, there's so many opensource code from which to learn from.
I mean, "demos that shouldn't be shared" from the root comment implies that it isn't done, right?
In the same way that finding waste while increasing the federal budget isn't efficiency.

Technically, maybe you can squint and find small pieces that are more efficient but in the grand scheme of things they goal doesn't seem to be a smaller government.
> I'm surprised that the administration didn't understand this.

Curious why you are surprised at incompetence being unable to understand complexity.
America?

No.

The shareholder class underestimates it.

A lot of Americans realize that it's going to be hard, which is why we should have made an example out of the first guy to profit off of sending manufacturing off to the shores of a geopolitical rival.

I was diagnosed with ODD as a kid and was prescribed Ritalin. I hated being on Ritalin because it made me feel unenthusiastic about anything and killed my appetite. My older brother stole my 60 day supply when I was 10 and sold it for heroin money. Insurance wouldn't pay for a refill so that's when my family decided I was magically cured!

I meet adults today who self diagnose with ADHD so they can get Ritalin or something I suppose. They want to take stimulants to be more efficient at work or have more energy at home, but I can't imagine wanting to feel that way all the time. I HATED being on Ritalin, made me feel like a zombie.
Let's approach it from the other direction: why should we? What are we getting by trying to "bring it back"?

Tanenbaum:

"It is hard to pin down what an operating system is other than saying it is the software that runs in kernel mode--and even that is not always true. Part of the problem is that operating systems perform two essentially unrelated functions: providing application programmers (and application programs, naturally) a clean
abstract set of resources instead of the messy hardware ones and managing these
hardware resources."

Yes, it is hard to pin it down. Nor am I sure whether time should be wasted on attempting to pin it down.
> If a Democratic admin were to do this they would be howling and rightly so. Trump and the GOP are turning the federal government into an authoritarian mob state. You should be outraged - even if it's for only the fact that you yourself may be a target of this or future administrations as it becomes normal practice.

As a Canadian I am already scared of visiting the US. I've re-posted UNRWA, Unicef, MSF and WFP criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza on social media. I could very well be viewed as being a someone who is undermining US foreign policy goals and either detained, deported or at best denied entry to the US.

If cancer is also rare in those spots without a CT, that would seem to indicate a major confounding variable at play.
i’ve seen that with deepseek
To maybe oversimplify it, cancer risk from radiation is all a stats game. The situations where you get a CT scan is either very rare (once or twice in a lifetime and often highly localized) or for a very acute issue (eg a heart attack or car accident) that is almost certainly worth the risks.

Also, ionizing radiation has a varying risks to different tissues. "Soft" tissues that have cells that divide a lot (lungs, colon, etc) are of greater risk than others. I wouldn't bat much of an eye for a CT scan on my knee, but would be more worried about a chest procedure. Again, more worried doesn't mean I wouldn't do it, as the alternative is either a much more expensive MRI, much more fuzzy echo-cardiogram, or wondering if my health is more seriously at risk.
Who is going to commit the resources to make serious money losing plans vs manufacturing overseas?
There's a big difference between "upbeat music" and "positive culture".

"Positive" in this sense isn't being used to mean "optimistic" or "happy". It's being used to mean "healthy for the world at large".

Regardless of whether any of us agree that 4chan was a net-negative, it should be very clear that "music that doesn't have an upbeat sound or themes" is not inherently unhealthy, but "subcultures that are unhealthy for the world at large" definitionally are.

That has its own issues.

Apparently it is a stylistic choice to add a pause, acceptable in informal or rhetorical writing, though grammatically incorrect.

They've sussed out that if you suck up to him he'll give you an exemption. Of course if you are a medium sized business you are screwed and have to wait in line, but you'll get your chance as long as you can hold on through the summer.

The MRI scan takes 10x longer, uses helium (of which there isn't an infinite supply) and can't be used on people with certain implants.
It is just a point of pragmatism.
Countries that wish to bring manufacturing back to their country just have to use people to do that just like they used people to put the production outside.
Which by the way will produce lot of business :)
Then you should also be worried about bugs that let you log into an SSH session without providing your SSH certificate, passkey or whatever. Authentication bypass can happen with pretty much any buggy authentication method. None of this is inherently a problem of passwords or basic auth.
going to have to give you kudos and steal that last part of "unskilled factory labour being a way to just tread water"

i didn't understand it myself until I developed a hardware system and computed the margins, hassle, etc - manual labor/assembly/mfg is not what a developed economy relies on and its asinine to pretend it is.

I don't know how the current American dynamism movement has picked up the steam it has
I don't think anyone underestimates that, as much as some people with the author's viewpoints would like it to be true.

To paraphrase Kennedy: "We choose to [bring back manufacturing]. We choose to [bring back manufacturing] in this [or the next] decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

We will do it, and we will win, whatever that means.
Fair point. :/

My friend is watching his business get ready to die. His wife is still the CEO, and she's losing her shit. They're not alone. There's thousands and thousands of similar operations, all over the US, that will have to shut down, if something doesn't give.

I guess the mega-rich oligarchs think this is great, but they don't employ the majority of Americans.
Define "more valuable."
It's a principle of capitalism, but taken to the extreme, it's just a strawman. At this point, I think we are pretty sure that some interventions make capitalism better.

This post is specifically about Industrial Policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_policy

But other effective interventions are anti-trust and demand-inducing regulation (e.g. people want to fly because they know it's safe).
I think a lot of English speakers use commas to emphasize a pause in speech. I don’t think a comma was needed. I think the author was slightly mixing up the relative clauses and appositives rules with commas.

Snooping on SatGus Again [video]
Americans have a very 1980s idea of manufacturing (and China in general) in that there aren't actually that many humans being used in Chinese factories let alone the American ones some of them want to build here. There's even a concept of, "Dark Factories" in China which are 100% automated factories that operate in the dark. The only jobs that will come from bringing manufacturing back to the states will be in automation, robotics, AI, and roles to support those things.
Aspect Ratios with Sinners Director Ryan Coogler [video]
A. Newer CT scan machines use lower radiation doses.

B. If you're getting only one scan a year you're fine and within yearly limits of radiation dosage considered acceptable.

Remember that you'll get comparable levels of radiation even if you commute through the grand central station every day.

This paper is for lack of a better word, crap. It's becoming sensational for the conclusion it makes and I'm afraid it's now going to create more harm because of that.
I don't think an off-topic comment about Roger Stone and a 15-year old ad hominem meets the bar of constructive HN discourse but we can agree to disagree. I've seen plenty of constructive, right-leaning comments downvoted and flagged while unconstructive partisan pablum from the other side sits there without even being greyed out.

I'd love it if partisan comments regardless of affiliation were more aggressively pruned and the accounts behind them more aggressively moderated, but what we have currently is... not that.

Progressive movements have giant amounts of funding. Every big business in the US and mostly in the UK as well are donating to various Progressive causes. Loads of Progressive people are fairly rich tech workers. Most of Hollywood are Progressive. Kamala Harris took over the previous presidential candidacy from Joe Biden and raised $1.4bn in a very short amount of time, twice what Trump got.

That's why the joke is Progressive YouTubers are sponsored by Amazon and Google, and Conservative ones are sponsored by Freedom Water and other budget right wing brands.
I don't think Americans, broadly, do. I think the Trump crowd and his oligarchs do, as part of their bid to cement their wealth and power.
There's a whole Radiolab or this American life episode on this.

Basically, young people haven't lived through anything and are very willing to give up democracy.
And if China invades Taiwan, which they have said for decades they will do (we just don’t like to believe them), what then?

Do we sacrifice a democracy for the dollar? If not, is our economy annihilated? We have no credible alternative to reshoring for this reason alone.
Americans fantasize about factory work because, at that time in America, you could afford a home without a two-income family. Life was "easier" for many people.

Personally, I think we need to focus on making things like homes more affordable. This would go a long way toward alleviating people's feeling of being trapped.
Thanks, really appreciate that! Yeah, giving the AI the ability to fetch the context it needs was a big challenge (since larger codebases can't all fit in an LLM's context window)

Manufacturing doesn't have to involve large amounts of low-skill manual labor. It can be highly automated and serve as a source of jobs for engineers.
Nah I disagree. It's the best one. All of the extra shit other boards have just feels like needless bloat. Honestly the JS extension they added like 10 years ago is a bit much.
That's open to interpretation. That's the problem. We've seen how Republicans treat anything that deals with nuance.
Aka how Facebook originally launched (.edu-only)

Social network culture is a multipart problem:

1. You need quality posters
2. You need to provide value to those posters
3. You need to remove low-quality posts attracted by site growth

Any system that creates the above will be successful.

The rub is that the humans behind (1) are free agents, with little incentive to stick to the site once (2) fails.

Hence rapid Digg-style collapses from site owners who don't realize how tenuous their community quality is.
> Yes. They are either in the legislative, executive, or judicial branch.

That’s not what independent means here.

Most independent agencies are part of the executive branch (some are part of the legislative and judiciary but they are the exception).

They are independent because congress gave the president limited power in their ability to dismiss the agency head and its members. These agencies have some regulatory authority which Congress has vested them on purpose.

You might argue under the unitary executive theory of law that these agencies are actually under the control of the president and the current Supreme Court (for what it’s worth) might even agree with you.

I might argue that it’s a complete travestissement of the constitution spirit and intent pushed forward by people who wish to dismantle the American republic and replace it by an authoritarian regime. But that’s on me.

My mom exposed me and my sister to Python on PBS long ago, and we used to explode in paroxysms of laughter and roll around on the floor when the Dead Parrot sketch was going.

I'd love to know how he chooses what to work on. I wonder if he just follows his interest?
Sure! Here's a very condensed overview:

The system uses two intersecting CW lasers in ionized gas to induce spatially-localized visible light emission through multiphoton transitions (non-resonant, no intermediate state). It's designed for open-air operation and uses energy focusing via PWM and low duty cycles to stay Class 1-safe while maintaining sufficient photon density. We're developing a working prototype with an industry partner, aiming for tabletop-to-large-scale modularity.

Happy to go into more technical details if you have specific questions.
I think the main point stands, though, which is that you can't undo to the previous state. E.g., rolling back all tariffs/deportations/firings/budget cuts would not undo the damage done.
It's unclear to me whether you read the journal article or just the Ars article? If you're referring to the journal article that gives your assessment much more weight.
