> What do you believe now?

Obviously you should be skeptical of anything they said. There was indisputably one big lie, whether then or now. If you really want to know which is the lie, you'd need to get independent confirmation.

The explanation of the lie matters. If it's, "I lied about cheating on you, and now I want you back", then lolno. If it was more like, "I was just sick of you, but you wouldn't have left me unless I drove you away", that's more plausible.

I love automated market making and the varying research there

I think this is successful in its goals

Liquidity providing on concentrated liquidity pools is something I would like to see in the high volume US equities market

But will realistically only exist on tokenized platforms that trade their surrogates

It’s extremely lucrative and was only in the domain of market making firms before this technology

I was willing to give Israel the benefit of the doubt on this before the 2024 World Central Kitchen Aid convoy attack. That really made me re-evaluate what Israel's general standard level of carefulness is, and how much they weigh the balance between avoiding noncombatants when pursuing military targets. And there have been multiple other incidents since then in which international aid workers have been targeted, whether purposefully or accidentally. There's no way to attribute that to Hamas militants pretending to be civilians or sheltering in proximity. I don't believe that any of those incidents would have happened if the Israeli military were applying an appropriate standard of care in target selection, which in turn inclines me toward believing almost any other claim about civilian casualties.

I also think unless they want to kill or evict all two million Gazans, Israel's #1 priority in this conflict should be convincing Gazans that the Israelis are the good guys and Hamas are the bad guys. No matter how you spin it, they are failing at this, and they're using the wrong sort of weapons. It's merely sowing seeds for another three generations of unshakable hatred. That is not at all good for Israel but it might be just fine for Benjamin Netanyahu.

It literally does matter. International law literally makes this exact distinction. And the very article we're commenting on states as much.

>Under the laws of war, a medical facility is considered a protected site that can be attacked only in very rare cases. If one side uses the site for military purposes, that may make it a legitimate target, but only if the risk to civilians is proportional to the military advantage created by the attack.

If you want to argue it's illegal, you have to make an argument that it's not proportional vis-a-vis the colocated military infrastructure, because otherwise international law says it's fair play in both letter and spirit. If they were completely off-limits then everybody would co-locate their military and humanitarian infrastructure without much thought - and the end result of that game would be worse for everyone. That's why international law is the way it is. Civilian infrastructure cannot be allowed to be used as a shield for military infrastructure.

On that point - you would have a difficult time making a legal argument that hitting the edge of the parking lot (deliberately avoiding a strike to the hospital itself, and without doing significant structural damage to the hospital) to kill the Hamas #1 (at that time) was not proportional. If you want to make that argument with some other strike (like the church one) then go ahead - I'm extremely open to the idea that the IDF is crossing the line with many of their strikes - but that's a different argument than falsely saying that any strike next to civilian infrastructure is a war crime by default.

Hey everyone I just found HustleBTC and started using their faucet I’ve already made some profits which is pretty cool What I like about it is you don’t have to deposit anything to start unlike Stake where you need to put money in upfront Also the payouts seem faster and the site feels more straightforward and honest

Has anyone else tried HustleBTC What do you think How does it compare to Stake for you Let me know below would love to hear your thoughts

In that case, consider having good enriched data on 100K startups (assuming it will cost you only $200) and then reach out to Sales teams and Founders with pre-built reports of xx number of company details in their target niche. Could be target companies list, competitor list, newly arrived list, etc... Just some random thoughts. Good luck !

This is a really fun well-written and on point set of articles. Thank you for sharing.

I feel like at this point there isn't anybody defending stablecoins who isn't using them primarily speculative investment/trading. There has yet to be a usecase for distributed ledger that isn't solved better by a centralised ledger other than niche counter-culture solutions whose users are typically blinkered to the fact that they are already a self-selected techno-elite who can't bring their utopia to the commons. That ended a bit more nasty sounding that I intended, apologies.

100% agree. I've used FF since version 1.x, but I've used Chrome as a secondary at times, and I've had more problems in Chrome than FF. In fact, I've literally never experienced a bug in FF, except for, prior to and in the early days of the Servo Rust rewrite, I had a few crashes (tabs all reopened upon restarting). I haven't even had a crash in probably 8 years. Chrome is just spyware trash, IMHO.

Thanks for demonstrating that at least one user feels this way. I wasn't sure.

Even if literally no one agreed, I still feel that not this topic is not an option, and I still think that could be derived from the first principle of the site (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), although I admit that the exact proof escapes me.

Private externals for competitive games can rake in a LOT of money. Its also high stakes because of the kernel-level anticheats these days, but being private makes it slightly easier. Public externals bypass methods are patched pretty quickly. Make something that's interesting to you, and if you like that side of engineering (reversing, bypassing ac's, etc), it's definitely a way to make a lot of money. I know some people doing it for rust (the game) that make a killing.

If you want to attract novice contributors, sure. This is as much give-and-take as anything else; if you want these kind of people, then you're going to have to throw a bone to these people.

Now, if you don't want contributors, or at least novice contributors that don't know to proofread their commits or ignore their own IDE files, then this actually helps you screen out the contributors you don't want to engage with early.

- Adjuvants. As a materials researcher I think it's nuts we inject nanoscale alumina in our blood.

- Regulatory structure. Why can't I sue a vaccine manufacturer? Limit awards, if you necessary, but if I cant sue I cant get discovery.

- Effectiveness. The flu vaccine's effectiveness is statistical artifact. See healthy vaccine bias

- Historical effectiveness. I had a civil engineer smugly point out that his profession had ended more diseases than biology. So I looked it up. Civil engineering did more to end communicable diseases than vaccines.

- General dishonesty of the medical profession. I don't expect my Advil to be 100% safe; I don't expect my vaccine to be either. I dont expect my medical health officers to lie about it though (see mRNA and the long dismissed myocarditis risk)

Well, my still living parents grew up in the segregated South in the 40s-50s. There was no “idealism” about why my mom and her 3 sisters went to college and her brother went to trade school. They knew that college was the only way out, their parents were already struggling and they had no choice but to go to a “Black” college (now HBCU) because they were not allowed to go anywhere else.

On the other hand, I grew up as an only child with my mom a teacher and my dad a factory worker. While I knew I wasn’t going to be homeless or hungry or put undue burden on my parents, college was solely a means (dual degree in computer science and mathematics) to be employable even though by the time I went to college I had already been programming in 65C02 assembly and some BASIC for six years and was learning 68K assembly on my Mac my freshman year.

But knowing C and how to bit twiddle definitely helped me get a job straight out of college - a week after I graduated.

Yep, it is different.

If AI is really wrecking the job market structurally due to new efficiencies, one would hope those effects will be permanent (i.e we won't need juniors anymore because AI will fill those spaces permanently, with or without human intervention; and thats not going to change because AI is only going to get better, blabla, yada, yada).

If it is not, it would be a matter of eventually reaching AI winter status and/or just finding a new thing to hype and the tech job market will open its gates again.

Of course there is some nuance to it, both things can happen at the same time with different intensities.

This feels like a very dated metaphor. When my older brother introduced me Napster, was I actually rifling through Lars Ulrich’s wallet and shaking out mp3s?

In this case, a clone of the wallet has been preserved for all and sundry to peruse. Is it really wrong as a genuinely curious person not to pretend it isn’t there?

There’s a lot to be said about privacy on the Internet. I don’t think there’s much to be gained by attacking those who, out of genuine curiosity, don’t abide by the same polite fictions as the rest of us. I dont like browsing random strangers’ PII. I tend to hope those who do show due respect. And don’t see any sign of malice in GP.

We leave it to the AI.

We have gone to a lot of trouble to try to engineer the prompt to make it clear to Gemini that it should take a "non-partisan and unbiased" view in all the analysis. This is an attempt to get away from any person's opinion, including ours.

Obviously, whether you think it achieving that ideal is in the eye of the beholder :-) But it is certainly less biased than most mainstream media, and social network echo chambers.

We all know why - because people view LGBT people in a uniquely sexual light. The elephant in the room is that, for a lot of people, when they see two men holding hands their minds are immediately thinking about anal sex.

Yes, that sounds harsh and crude, but it's true. I've noticed it for decades. It's weird, it's not right, but it's how people react.

That's why a children's book with Mommy and Daddy is so mundane, so boring, so... nothing, that we don't even blink an eye. But Daddy and Daddy is different. Because of the implication.

Of course, only adults make the implication because they're nasty perverts. And they then project that perversion onto the innocent.

I mean, it's so fucked it's almost comical. We put babies in "ladies man" onesies and nobody cares. Do we not see how fucking weird that is? But suddenly we so much as acknowledge the existence of homosexuals and it's so risque.

To me Zionism is the settler colonial national project of Israel as a Jewish supremacy state on Palestinan lands.

If you support Israel as a Jewish supremacy state which denies civil rights to the Palestians that live there or were expelled (or descendants of expelled Palestinians) in 1947-1948, then you are a Zionist.

If you support a state called Israel which has equal rights for all its civilians (including Palestinians, and right of return for displaced Palestinians and their descendants, regardless of a whether you support a separate independent Palestine along the 1967 borders (as long as you recognize the right of return for the 1948 refugees to Israel), then you are not a Zionist.

I know Zionism comes in various flavors, including very extreme forms (such as Kahanism), and not all Zionists support the genocide done in their name. But as I understand it, no Zionist completely supports equal civil rights for all Palestinians, including the right of return and reparations for Palestinian refugees, because if they did support that, they wouldn’t be Zionists, at least not in my books.

If that’s off-peak time, I’d argue the adjacent opposite point, that Anthropic et al could implement deferred and/or scheduled jobs natively so that folks can do what they’re going to do anyway in a way that comports with reasonable load management that all vendors must do.

For example, I don’t mind that Netflix pauses playback after playing continuously for a few episodes of a show, because the options they present me with acknowledge different use cases. The options are: stop playing, play now and ask me again later, and play now and don’t ask me again. These options are kind to the user because they don’t disable the power user option.

I don't think you need to fencesit that hard. VS Code and macOS users *that don't know how to double check their commit or ignore their junk files locally will definitely cause extra burden and lower software quality. If they can't check their commits for .vscode, do you really think they tested their code properly or thought hard about the code that they wrote? If they don't know abut local git ignore files, do you think they know the language and libraries well enough? If they didn't read the Git docs, then did they read the docs that said to not use a specific function in this way?

A few months back I was pessimistic about AI, and now I am the opposite. The perspective change happened when I realized giving it an entire problem and expecting it to solve that is unrealistic. The real value add is if you can use AI at the right steps of your workflow or larger system.

I did a PhD in program synthesis (programming languages techniques) and one the tricks there was to efficiently prune the space of programs. With LLMs it is more much more likely to start with an almost correct guess, the burden now shifts to lighter verification methods.

I still do not believe in the AGI hype. But I am genuinely excited. Computing has always been humans writing precise algorithms and getting correct answers. The current generation of LLMs are the opposite you can be imprecise, but the answers can be wrong. We have to figure out what interesting systems we can build with it.

This reminds me: I've noticed that Starbucks now requires a few pieces of information to use their WiFi network. One is email and they are doing some sort of validation which will reject emails like whoopsileanedonxxxxxxxx@aol.com but will accept other, legit AOL emails. How are they deciding what is/not a valid email? Are they using a compiled list of emails that have been seen in the wild? What if it's a brand new address, though? Presumably AOL isn't exposing a service for them to use in realtime. I haven't tested this extensively or with other providers.

It's obvious that they care (to some extent) that they're getting valid emails, so why not use a basic regex on the FE and an OTP which gets sent to the provided address?

> It would be nice if dumbpipe revealed the local and remote IP and UDP port numbers via something like STDERR or a signal so that apps could send UDP datagrams on them with ordinary socket calls.

I believe this would be even more unreliable than UDP, since Iroh is also capable of using a relay server for when hole punching can't be performed, and Iroh also handles IP migration.

> it appears to be linux and macOS only

Iroh should work on Windows, IIUC, just the installer and possibly prebuilt binaries aren't provided. But dumbpipe isn't designed for UDP anyways, it's closer to a competitor for socat/nc.

> Hamas has publicly stated that more civilian deaths helps their cause

The fact that Israel has no problem creating these civilian deaths is part of the problem. If you claim "human shields" you lose all credibly when you shoot nonetheless. It genuinely horrifying that you accept "well they made us kill all those kids".

This would be easy to see if you accepted the Palestinian people as, well, people.

> Again, what's your solution people?

Two states, stop holding a people in a perpetual refugee camp and you might be surprised and how much less they fight you. And, if you really have two states, then there's a framework for retaliation if it comes to that.

> You are operating until a false premise that Palestinians/Hamas are some sort of children and bear no responsibility for anything at all.

Where in reality, the war could have been over in 5 minutes if they released the hostages at any time during the past 3 years. It still can be over in 5 minutes if they choose to do that. But no, they will put as many of their own people in harm's way as necessary to get to the world opinion to be what it is. And literally no one, including you, is questioning that.

Palestinians and Hamas are 2 different groups of people. Which 1 are you referring to when you say "they"? Only the Hamas can legally be punished as a result of Hamas's actions. Punishing Palestinians because you're mad at Hamas is a war crime.

I'm not blind to the realities of Israel having blocked some aid and the realities of living in a war zone. I'm sure the Palestinians are suffering and I wouldn't want to live in Gaza these days. Israel will and is exerting the maximum possible pressure. However it is not starving the population.

You are blind to the Hamas' control of the narrative coming out of Gaza. You are also blind to the Hamas' ability to impact the situation and to their absolute control of any word coming out of the mouth of a "hospital director" or a "journalist" who are either Hamas or operating under the threat of death, torture, and violence to themselves and their families if they don't say what they're asked to say.

Here's some coverage: https://www.timesofisrael.com/ex-us-humanitarian-envoy-pans-... It's not super favorable for Israel but has some nuance that you're missing.

The article is an interview with: "David Satterfield, who served during early months of war, says dangerous transport routes, looting by desperate Palestinians severely hinder ability to pick up and deliver aid"

... "UN trucks repeatedly looted, including by thousands of desperate Palestinians, unsure when they and their families will receive their next meal."

"UN trucks repeatedly looted, including by thousands of desperate Palestinians, unsure when they and their families will receive their next meal."

"Moreover, looting carried out for purposes of commoditization will also dissipate because the value of assistance in the marketplace will drop due to the rise in supply."

So Palestinians are stealing food from other Palestinians to make a buck.

"Satterfield said “there’s no question” that the terror group has worked to take “political advantage and certainly some physical substantive advantage out of the aid distribution process.”

Hamas operatives have made a point of “flaunting” their presence at aid sites in a message to Palestinians that the group has no intention of ceding its role in the distribution process."

Not all regulation is a symptom of greed. Regulation can be written and passed with the intention of protecting the public good, promoting public health, preserving fair competition... That it sometimes works counter to those goals is a function of greed, a lack of accountability and and a lack of transparency. We write these laws with consistent check on accountability and transparency, but we keep electing sociopaths that want to game the system and sometimes go as far as screaming "deep-state" or "fraud, waste and abuse"... when they want to completely remove those checks and people keep falling for that bullshit.

Yes… I have seen this before and played with it. This was a good attempt at emulating the behavior of an app like Substance Painter. However… the core problem is that in order to paint textures you need very complex and deep functionality. When using Substance, I have to variously consider: the texture channels (e.g. color, roughness etc), the many layers that may serve these channels, the baked texture channels (e.g. ambient occlusion, normals etc), the many blend modes, masks and adjustments that serve and interconnect all these.

I doubt that anything other than native blender functionality could serve all this with any elegance.

I teach substance painter and it does a good job and hiding all this complexity until you need it. It is very common for students to underestimate it as an app… to view it as just photoshop for 3D.

The right doesn't give a shit about the livelihood of the immigrants, but they have accurately observed the line that goes from "heavily increase low skill immigration" to "emergence of a low trust society" to "implement authoritarian surveillance state to manage the low trust". The left has no answer for this, because it requires them to admit that high levels of immigration have negative qualitative impacts on society that don't show up in GDP figures. They can't do that, because immigration itself is part of the ideology.
