The Paranoid Style in American Politics (1964)

news.ycombinator.com Richard Hofstadter 2025-12-05 03:55:28

It had been around a long time before the Radical Right discovered it—and its targets have ranged from “the international bankers” to Masons, Jesuits, and munitions makers. American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers, who have now demonstrated in the Goldwater movement how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities and passions of a small minority. But behind this I believe there is

Apple Maps cycling directions expand to Hong Kong and Taiwan

When Apple first launched cycling directions on Apple Maps, the feature was limited to a handful of cities like New York and Beijing. Since then, Apple has gradually expanded coverage. Now, cycling directions are also available in Hong Kong and Taiwan. If you ride a bike to get around where you live, you know that some information is essential for route planning: are there bike paths? Bike lanes? Do they cover the entire route?

The Air Force Wants to Use Cybertrucks for Target Practice

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-06 10:50:06

The U.S. Air Force seems to have finally found a good use for Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertrucks: blowing them up with missiles. The War Zone was first to spot that America’s aerial defense wing plans to purchase two of Tesla’s rolling heaps of metal for “use as targets for precision munitions during testing and training.” Associated contracting documents seem to imply that America’s “enemies” may soon be using Cybertrucks and that, as a result, the Air Force needs to practice shooting at them.

AI Ethics is being narrowed on purpose, like privacy was

A few days ago, OpenAI released an open-source language model for the first time in a very long time. It had been promised for a while, but the deadline kept being pushed for “safety” concerns. In fact, they’ve put quite a bit of time and effort into discussing safety, because, ostensibly, safety and ethics is at the top of people’s minds. So, the public is worried about AI ethics, and OpenAI is putting efforts into making sure the AI is ethical. Sounds like a match. Not just a match, but a
