That's actually kind of brilliant.

The police almost never use any available evidence to exonerate anyone.

Maybe the fighter jets switched to a different kind of fuel and are now producing hotter exhaust. </s>

His other book, "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus"¹ is also excellent.

UDP rules for this sort of thing. Art-net sounds very similar to OSC¹ and that's a good thing.

Literally typing is definitely part of the fun for me. I’m a mechanical keyboard nerd though so that might explain a lot.

Beyond the typing though, I find enjoyment in perfecting the structure of the code, thinking deeply about how the pieces fit together. I enjoy the process of iteratively refining the code so that it clearly represents the program using the optimal level of abstraction and minimizes superfluous code/syntax. I find that using an LLM eliminates all of this and produces code that lacks all of the elegance and readability that I aspire to in my own code.

There are notable games missing from that list. Unrailed 2, for example, which is, in my opinion, one of the best games ever created. I am not even a avid gamer and I recognize several games from that list.

Cost of living has risen dramatically everywhere. Unless you live in a small town in a poor state like I do then 85K sounds pretty bad. That's barely above the poverty line at this point.

Do you really think that unrestricted internet access is equivalent to giving children one of the most addicting and deadly drugs around?

I think 13+ is an appropriate age to view explicit content. No matter how hard you try to prevent it, kids are going to be exposed to things. By the age of 13 or 14, like it or not, a lot of kids are partaking in the activities you would have them prevented from even seeing.

I've seen enough of tiktok (and youtube, and facebook) to understand that there are extreme levels of manipulation happening. I think it's just as harmful to adults as it is to teenagers. The whole over-protective "think of the children" routine is just disingenuous and frankly it's just yet another example of emotional manipulation on the part of the people promoting these laws. I'm confident that they don't give a rats ass about actually reducing harm or regulating the dark patterns that are now everywhere in modern society.

Thanks moloch¹

At one point there was an attempt to form a new terminal emulator extensions working group, however, last time I checked it seemed to have been abandoned a few years ago.

I've been wanting this for a long time, however, it would be really great to have some kind of standard so that multiple terminals might eventually implement the functionality. Even more awesome would be great if the api was a bit more generic so that any window could be embedded within the context of a terminal in much the same way that images are embedded with the kitty graphics protocol¹. With appropriate alpha channel support it could even enable seamless/borderless objects, potentially with non-rectangular shapes.

edit: I see the protocol² is very well documented. Better yet, it looks like a really powerful and well thought out interface. Well done! It would be really awesome if this catches on.

I played weed smoke willie for way longer than I should admit. Stopped after something like $40k.

The internet shock sites existed back when I was a teenager. I was exposed to those things. It didn't damage me any, as far as I can tell. Not to mention there were always things like faces of death which I found to be far more disturbing than any internet shock content that I ran into in the 90s.

It's not that far fetched to assume that someone could be in physical danger after ruffling the feathers of a company that has hired a union busting firm. Union Busters have a long history of employing gun violence against striking workers.

We're already living in 1984.

The data centers that already exist are one thing, creating a lot of new ones isn't necessary simply to continue supporting hacker news traffic.

These new data centers are entirely a speculative buildout of new capacity to support theoretical (and some existing) demand for AI compute.

This seems pretty useful. Just curious, why is it necessary to load entire files into memory (let alone twice?) - seems like not that much extra work (for claude) to stream the files to disk. Maybe I'm missing some limitation due to the underlying implementation. I agree that it's not necessarily a deal breaker for most common quick file transfers, however, it seems like unnecessarily limiting the scope of the tool if it wouldn't be too difficult to overcome.

But the noise from a data center is exempt. And if their water use exhausts the local aquifer, too bad for the locals.

From TFA:

a Datasette-style backend to a self-contained HTML frontend is an astonishingly powerful combination.

1000% agree. And datasette is a terrific framework to build any kind of data exploration or visualization on.

This sounds like an awesome feature and a good excuse for me to dive back into playing with Datasette.

It feels more like we've jumped straight to mob rule (with tinges of oligarchy, which are not new really)

I live in a red state. Our elected representatives are in on it.

Probably!

Wow that quote is the most useless bullshit bunch of words I've seen strung together recently. It says a whole lot of nothing in the most insulting way possible. Must have been written by a highly paid consultant.

The Trump administration seems to have created America's bankruptcy. In my view, Trump always wins. It's just not America's victory

You summed it up perfectly right there. It's not about anything good for America or really anything good at all. It's pure greed. It's doing the bidding of whoever is paying him the most. It's destroying America on purpose for the benefit of foreign and international interests. I honestly believe they are trying to engineer the most possible death and destruction so that they can swoop in an take what's left for themselves. Destroy the economy and buy everything up at bargain sale prices. Starve the people and deny them any relief. Make homelessness illegal so you can legally enslave them. Those that don't starve to death will work in the camps.

Best start thinking about those implications because it is unwise to underestimate what is coming.

If you are in the oil, gas and coal business and the money spent is coming out of someone else's pocket then it's a great deal.

Look at all of the headlines coming out of the department of energy:

https://www.energy.gov/newsroom

Lots of them related to coal and LNG.

Most prominently: https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-department-invest-350...

The policy of the federal government is anti renewable energy and pro coal, pro oil.

Oil executives are profiting from the situation with Iran. These guys don't want us to have cheap renewable energy. They want us to keep paying their tolls and they don't want anyone to have access to evidence that could continue exposing the damage they've done to the environment.
