> kill the part of yourself that cringes rather than try to smother out others who are "cringe"

Cringing is a manifestation of shame. Shame can serve very useful social functions, even though it may not always be accurate.

We should not completely deaden our feelings of shame any more than we should completely deaden our feelings of anger, or joy.

Well, that didn’t last very long, did it.

Thank you for sharing this. Much more interesting than the arrogant slop published in Politico by this Zeidman character.

> After all, I invented the field of software forensics

Stopped there

If you don’t, you might not be online nearly enough.

Terminally-online people behave like this, on average.

The crucial flaw with htmx is that it’s an enhancement of html itself; if a fancy and interesting new UI pattern is invented somewhere, the htmx devs or contributors will have to add support for it into htmx itself!

And imagine if htmx became absorbed into the real html standard. It would take much longer for the standards body (and then browser makers) to respond and implement.

So the crucial flaw is that it will always be reacting instead of innovating. And more generally, this is likely why the “thick client” approach is more popular on the web these days. Nobody wanted to wait around for standards bodies and browser makers.

Another intelligent and insightful comment from the local socialist.

I’d love to see this succeed, because I own a 7900 XTX already, but there’s so much already built on top of PyTorch. Why would anyone port it all to tinygrad or whatever? Bummer.

This looked pretty good until it devolved into an appeal to the masters of the social justice cult. “L-Look! RMS is a true b-believer! Don’t punish him, please…”

Beyond pathetic.

There are two sides involved. It’s up to both of them to find a compromise.

> If I'm getting anything wrong, it's the fault of the Bluesky authors

I dunno, this seemed an entirely on-message thing for a “literal communist” to say.

A bit difficult to take anything seriously that this hyperventilating dweeb says:

> But I think what's key is to keep an anticapitalist mindset. We can make things easier for users without allowing in what makes social media so fucking awful: capitalism.

It would like to stream only its own ML-generated content, thank you very much.

A lot of legislating goes on in CA that others decry as ridiculous, but I often find such criticisms to be overblown.

This, on the other hand, is abject madness. I’m told it has no chance of actually making it into law, but if I were a CA-based resident or business owner, I would at least be uncomfortable with the prospect and doing some early investigation into fleeing the state.

The amount of time and energy some people are willing to spend furiously spinning webs of utter nonsense is... impressive.

Unnervingly, it sometimes resembles the zeal reserved for traditional religions.

Has anyone managed to figure out why Germany is behaving so irrationally with respect to nuclear power?

> Everyone thinks that and everyone is wrong. It doesn't even work like that, it's not a thing you are or aren't.

Yikes. Found the true believer.

A small point about self-righteousness in case you or anyone else didn’t know: asserting your own beliefs as dogma is often counter-productive in a forum like HN.

Stating that you’ve got information that CLEARLY everyone else needs to be taught; that you’re just trying to be helpful; that nobody should feel pressured to conform “immediately”; all comes off as disingenuous at best and threatening at worst. Instead, try asking questions and engaging in conversation rather than lecturing.

As to the topic at hand: in what way is it dehumanizing to refer to a human as male or female? Being male or female is a fundamental part of being human, not something to be erased or ashamed of. I am a trans woman: a human male who identifies and lives socially as a woman. Should I hide the fact that I’m male? Why?

Holy crap, imagine being this insecure.

The feeling of helplessness you’re describing has been intentionally taught to you. It’s what keeps the religion going. “If only I could do MORE…”

Exactly. The arrogance of “philosophers” lately has been super cringe to witness, claiming that they know for sure.

> The weights for LLaMA have not yet been released publicly. To apply for access, fill out this Meta Research form.

Cute. ;)

Yeah, it’s disheartening how labor unions seem to attract this ideological poison. Can’t a labor union just be about collective negotiation with the employer? -_-

> Why the need to bring it under control?

So that EU bureaucrats can feel a sense of purpose in their lives.

Huge quantity of work here. Really stunning.

How is this sustainable through donations alone?

A popular belief system insists that people be treated as members of X group before all else, and all such groups must be ranked by their oppressive power.

That ranking is effectively arbitrary, and so the system is used mainly as a bludgeon of mobs who wish to silence and abuse others.

That’s why we’re seeing the kind of warped reasoning you’re alluding to.

Indeed, it’s stunning that anyone would fall for this trap after learning the history of socialist totalitarianism our species has been through (several times).

It’s cultural rot. Those values that you cherish are not seen as important by a growing portion of people in society, and those values aren’t being transmitted to their children, etc.
