There’s been multiple threads on HN front page that have been about this for the last week as well as protests in certain US cities like LA and SF.

I don’t know if you’re being willfully dishonest or you’re genuinely oblivious.

EDIT: also Renee Good’s killing is a domestic issue and is much closer to home for most Americans than Iran. It is not surprising that there is a lot of chatter about it.

what post are you referring to?

what’s the context around the website?

idk man, I’ve always thought UIUC was pretty selective, especially for their EE and CS programs. I’m also 10+ years out from college applications so maybe things have changed.

It's an elite program within a non-prestigious university. It goes to show how concepts like prestige are truly performative in nature.

Even at my Ivy League alma mater, a traditional public school like UIUC or UW was well regarded by most departments, but society at large pedestalled my alma mater to an unrealistic degree.

Pierre Bourdieu tends to dig deeper into the sociology of elitism, and is in my opinion a must-read.

The No Kings protests are large and have been occurring over the last year. It’s disingenuous to imply the population is doing nothing but comment online. The US is a large country with the third largest population in the world. It’s not homogenous.

Despite all that, it’s probably still prudent to decouple from the US.

Only 1.2–1.8% of the U.S. population attended a No Kings Day event.

I share your anger at the US' decent into authoritarianism, but 1.8% is nearly 1 in 50. That's pretty huge for a protest by most counts.

this is my workflow as well

great write up and breakdown of the project. you can do a lot with a small VPS

thanks!

he’s not a “random internet person”, he created Redis. Despite that, I don’t know how authoritative of a figure he is with respect to AI research. He’s definitely a prolific programmer though.

There are plenty of Nobel laureates who well, do rest on their laurels and dive deep into pseudoscience after that.

Accomplishment in one field does not make one an expert, nor even particularly worth listening to, in any other. Certainly it doesn't remove the burden of proof or necessity to make an actual argument based on more then simply insisting something is true.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. It's such a common phenomenon that it has its own name: Nobelitis.

That still qualifies as a random internet person, wrt the topic. And I think the emphasis is on no sources and I beliefs and I thinks, in any case :)

To be fair, you may find equally capable random people in this thread, doesn't mean they speak with any kind of authority.

Wow I'm late, but not so surprised!

I'll correct my take then: due to this, the epidemic of loneliness will start to surge like never before. This might pave the way to some reaction in the public opinion, but real concrete actions will not happen in 2026, I would rather expect them around 2028 or even 2030.

this sounds hilarious, please do tell. Does it relate to volatility spikes when tariffs are announced and some unexpected overflow?

yes, increased message count because of volatility went over 2*31. The message counter was 64 bit, but a local temporary variable used to read the counter was defined as auto counter = 0;
