Above firearms, you want a community where trust exists.

don’t be evil

From a country freaking out about its borders a handful of centuries after completed the largest land grab in history…

Or it replace it with a handful character you don’t use in your language.

Often non native species are just sitting there. Not being leveraged by the ecosystem because it don’t know what to do with it.

I maintains a side project in Django since 5+ years now.

The scope has been reduce to almost nothing. I have spend like 20h on it in 2022. But it still being used.

Django helps by how boring and solid it feels.

A similar project in node would probably not build anymore

Older than that, flash already received the apple coup de grace a little while ago when ES6 was release.

Exactly, the accent bump is behind us. I get good transcripts of my meetings even with my tick accent

Yeah, I kinda give up on great trackpad and insane, actual, battery life.

It's been a while too, I'm remember that being a plus of Apple devices since 10+ years.

Ouch. That’s a lot

I don’t see the part about coming and going in your linked article.

It states that the ice coverage is at the lowest since 79 since we started to survey it from space.

But it’s probably fine yeah. That ice probably just go somewhere else, not in the giant body of water supporting it.

Thought and prayers!

Never heard that one before. I’m not from here but I live in the Deep South. It’s sounds right.

Indeed. Another minor difference but I think it bears fruits :

Excessive wealth is still kinda view suspiciously in Europe. As in “in you are that rich, we are in different world and I suspect you don’t have my best interest in mind or that you might be a closeted psychopath”

While in the US, wealth indicate value of the individual and it radiate to morality and intrinsic capacity ( of the individual… )

As much as the USSR was an unpleasant character. Stating “thanks to the Us and the Uk” without mentioning the role of the red army in the victory against nazi germany is vastly inaccurate.

Just the fact that Germany had to handle two fronts, one of them exclusively fought by USSR should be an indicator of that.

Recent unwrapping of historical communication also show that the US army decide to use nuclear weapon on Japan to end the war; not that much because dragging war is bad for civilian. But also because the red army was starting to pivot to the Asian front. Being done with Europe.

Also, I was mainly talking about village / neighborhood knowing each other and not being as divided as here. But that’s still an interesting point.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. It sounds super cheesy but I miss common space where people play / mingle / relax / drink. Like a freaking plaza with table and chair and benches.

Those exists of course, just further far and between.

It’s counter intuitive because folk from the US are incredibly friendly and open. Super easy to talk to.

It sounds so much better! Haha

Leftist groups. Mostly. Leaning toward communism like the Red Brigades I mentioned. Their motto was bombing stuff, and kidnap/kill politicians. A famous group was “the Bader band” for instance. Acting between Italy, France, and Germany.

Then, they were the independentist group like ETA ( basque people ) and FLN ( Corsica )

Same modus operandis, but geared toward having France and Spain out of their places.

Thanks for the name, I will look those group up.

No right wing group in the US ?

We had some in France. For instance in 62 the “quarteron Francais” try to top De Gaule after he decided to let go of Algeria.

I use the built in note from apple in my phone. The one on top are the most recently touched. It works for me.

The bottom is stuff from years ago. It can be nice to revisit

Sure. This has been a shit show since inception.

And just looking at any US city outskirts is telling.

Also, let’s remember the position of the US in both early WW1 and Ww2. Faschism & racism are not new additions.

But is it getting better? How is the trend in regard metrics like Gini coefficient and wealth repartition?

What is better before ? Yes, until the 80s, the IRS and middle class were still a thing.

I wonders what will happen to channel future discontentments. What would be the outlets.

My concern is that once it’s become absolutely clear that upward mobility is broken for most, what will be the recourse of the folks left over in the dust?

Oh I remember when terrorist were white and either super Christian, or at least raise Christian.

IRA of course, but also ETA or the Brigatte rosse in France, Spain and Italy.

What does not fit the narrative ? I see that narrative popping back in French news today with protests against specific water collection stategies ( not the retirement stuff, other protests ) being labeled as “eco-terrorism”.

It looks that any resistance to the capitalism model of land & resource management will be labeled that way going forward ( in France. in the US I’m waiting to see what happen with cop city near Atlanta. As of now nobody heard of it )

A woman, what else?

A woman, and obtuse immigration laws. She was not able to stay longer in France. And long distance sucks.

I was appalled when sarkozy put France back in NATO, if that make you feel better.

Even in the current geopolitical context I would preferred the US to get out of our hairs. That would probably smack some sense into EU in regards to a shared defense.

Weirdly enough, none of our politicians, or yours except trump, seems to be super into the idea. I guess NATO yield some dividends, too?

But I was more thinking at resilient community of civilians. Living in village / small town that are livable without that much inputs from the “grid” and without driving miles and miles( because they were build before that support system even existed )

Also, communities where living together is seen as normal, not some hippie or comunist idea.

As a result, elder citizen can lives longer there without need for adhoc care. It’s cheaper to raise kids. Food is cheaper and of better quality. ( farmer markets are where poor people buy food, for instance, not a fancy place for organic ware )

My observations are of rural US and rural France. Of course I’m biased.

To clarify; human are not part of the environment? What is setting us apart exactly ?

I suspect the fact that we use various tools. But at the end of the day we need food, light and water.

I really hope you have property near a cost, any cost.

I was just playing with it, checking if I could give him instructions that would span several prompts and what not.

I try to make it play a games with me and start the prompt differently until a specific keyword was entered… it kinda worked. Kinda being key.

I earn roughly 4 times in the US what I would earn in France. Not a small difference.

I’m still going back.

Also, absurds costs of things in the US makes giant salary not that giant as soon as you get kids and plan to provide them with an educations.

Regarding future, my very personal take is that European population will be vastly more resilient to what is coming. (TM)

I’m concerned about the fabric of society itself in the US. You mention future, it’s unclear what’s in it for the USA. Europeans societies have been thought shit not that long ago and survived somewhat united.

The US last crisis was at home was idk? the civil war?

But i’m sure I’m being dramatic. None the less, it’s jarring. I don’t want to grow old here and have my kids growing up in a Us culture first.

Again; my personal take. My goal was to shine some lights on the other side POV.

Thanks,while typing it I was unhappy about that category but I did not know better.

I try really hard to prompt it to replace it with something else. It acknowledges and agree to it. Did it maybe once or twice, then reverted back to the old “As a AI model”

IIRC, I was trying to see if it could replace by “as a LLM”.

Again, agreed. I’m just bored tonight. No animosity here.

My goal was to point out that the metaphors is not equality working across all the examples.

Why Dropbox got NFS and not the postal service or train station locker?

Why google got Grep and not the Dewey classification system ?

Why HN got a pre internet, multi-milenary and deeply human “ancestors”. While BBS would have been sufficient?

Same for Craigslist and Amazon I guess.

Yes fully agreed.

The scale and cadence of it seems to be different.

Also, once again Karl ideas of “ownership of the means of copying and training” seems like it will be relevant.

I have nothing cleaver to say; I agree with you. Just wanted to add some colors.

I find it sad that IP laws can be enforced ruthlessly in a case. And fully ignored in another.

Actually, musing; I have something to say:

We could force AI manufacturers to reveal what the data underlying the training; and use IP at that stage to effect some repartitions.

Raws BOM-style list of training data should not reveal their secret sauce? ( actually question )

hacker news just coffee shops and bars

Ok, I really follow you on the rest and the overall point.

But this one … hacker news is how : delicio.us/Reddit/digg/slashdot used to be, before the network effect.

I rarely talk about BRNF at bars and I don’t use drugs while reading HN.
