Democratic government must also allow the citizen body to voice their displeasure with the activity of the government, and to give their reasons for that displeasure
I dont think the moral/legal conflation is even the main tension here.
I think this distinction would help as well.
Inhumane != human rights violation.
Both of these things can be true at the same time:
1. It can be inhumane to halt someone's visa application
2. Visa applicants have no human right to have their application processed
One side hammers the first point because they disagree with the government. The other side hammers the second point because they agree with the government.
Everyone is right, except for the implication that their point disproves the other side's point.
Sure. Unless you prefer autocratic rule by a moral paragon, democracy involves doing what people want, not what is moral. Often what is nominally moral is not good for the country or its people.
That is fair, especially on this occasion. On the other hand I have found some of his material very helpful, particularly around sleep and helping me maintain my circadian rhythm.
I too try to practice stillness, through silence and meditation.
I agree that it is challenging. In stillness, uncomfortable feelings will come up, before they can leave.
Imo, better than the alternative of avoidance. Yet somehow, it is marketed as relaxing. The relaxing part comes after one deals with the unrelaxing part.
I think the previous generation of Hollywood films was not so egregious on this. There were a lot of normal looking famous actors: Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro etc. Often playing good guys.
Now most actors in popular media are good looking to an uncanny level. Antagonist are beautiful too (in GoT as well).
It's not surprising if this negatively affects the psyche of the everyday person.
Sad state of affairs. At $day_job speed of delivery expectations are up due to LMMs. I presume that's a general sentiment. So more and more engineers around the world are pressing an enter key for yes over and over, mind and spirit only half there.
Some people at my company take it to the extreme and let Codex run unattended overnight, bypassing permission for all commands. Running on the host, not even in a container or VM.
These comments should be removed r from HN, because they in no way actually add to the conversation. They aren’t intelligent, they aren’t insightful, they aren’t actionable, and they don’t invite a genuine reply. All you’re saying is that you happen to not use these technologies yourself – something that I’m sure is only by happenstance – and that you feel superior for it.
This is a blog post by GitHub. what are you suggesting that these employees do? Simply ignore that they exist? Regardless of whether or not you use them, they still exist.
You might not know this, but the world of software development existed before NPM and Github, and it continues to exist after them. You are not beholden to either of them.
