The components work by requesting the image URL from your own server/API, at a route like `/_next/image`. The actual image URL that's passed as a prop to the component is passed to that API endpoint as a URL parameter.

So, the endpoint is essentially a proxy that does additional image processing, like compression and width/height resizing (again, a URL parameter that the Image component or any other client can change based on the device / screen size in use).

This means that without a domain whitelist, theoretically any image URL can be passed to the endpoint, which will then be processed and cached by your infra.

This has been used in the wild, e.g. racking up charges on someone else's Vercel bill by requesting a bunch of images through this endpoint.

I can understand why desperate people, whose land is increasingly stolen, whose rights are increasingly abused, and who cannot see their lives improve would turn (or be turned) to an organisation who would ultimately commit such abhorrent acts.

There are a lot of examples of really bad stuff happening to groups of people over the centuries, very few of them have resorted to October 7 levels of horror.

I'm not Jewish, but the soviets did some really horrific shit to our family, and we actually lost all our land, our whole livelihoods and strangely, no one in our family killed women or children over it. We never resulted to terrorism to deal with the issue. We did get our land back in the 90s though.

I can guarantee you that if the Palestinians / Hamas didn't do October 7, they would be in a much better position than they are now. 99% of people lost the ability to feel sympathy for them after that. Which is why Israel can basically make the plans. Most of the world just gave up.

Node-Red is probably a more hands on approach, than n8n, as someone who have 6-7 years of experience in node-red i find n8n really complicated for some reason. A lot of windows and configurations. Started with node-red and quickly built great skills in backend development.

Also utilized Cursor to quickly spinup a OpenRouter nodes for node-red, install node-red and check them out :D https://www.npmjs.com/package/@lizzard-solutions/node-red-co...

What was crazy about that, was seemingly the majority of Israels active military personnel were stirring up trouble in the west bank. Its a bit like they were showing their bare arses to Hamas. There were stories over the next few days about conscripts having to take civilian transport to the front line after activating.

The war had to be fought hard, because at the very least it was required to distract from the absolute mess the IDF was in when it started.

We built a tool that lets you quickly create React components, a full app, or even a game like Tic-Tac-Toe from a simple text prompt.

In a short demo, we built a Kanban-style task board and Tic-Tac-Toe in under 2 minutes.

If you build the actual datacenter, less than half the cost is the actual compute. The other half is the actual datacenter infrastructure, power infrastructure, and cooling.

So in that sense it's not that much different from Meta and Google which also used server infrastructure that depreciated over time. The difference is that I believe Meta and Google made money hand over fist even in their earliest days.

> It’s full of silent letters, as in numb, knee, and honour. A given sound can be spelled in multiple ways (farm, laugh, photo), and many letters make multiple sounds (get, gist, mirage).

that last one is hardly fair - gist and mirage are french words. might as well complain about the silent letters in rendezvous or faux pas.

This theory that American prices subsidise the rest of the world has really caught on in the US but I have never seen any evidence for it.

Most common drugs are out of patent anyway, so there should be no barrier to low cost production anywhere.

Moreover the EU and China give huge funding to basic and specific research, which forms the basis of many drugs. For instance the RNA research that gave us COVID vaccines was completely European from start to finish, only production then involved American companies due to scale benefits and market access.

On the contrary where the evidence is obvious is that the US pharma companies have amazing profits (such as the few Europeans that sell at scale in the US).

My personal, unscientific, take is that the entire narrative that the US prices fund global low prices is completely unfounded and just an attempt by big pharma to get the US government on their side to break fair pricing mechanisms in other countries.

The output of a farm is food or commodities to be turned into food.

The output of PwC -- whoops, here goes any chance of me working there -- is presentations and reports.

“We’re entering a bold new chapter driven by sharper thinking, deeper expertise and an unwavering focus on what’s next. We’re not here just to help clients keep pace, we’re here to bring them to the leading edge.”

That's on the front page of their website, describing what PwC does.

Now, what did PwC used to do? Accounting and auditing. Worthwhile things, but adjuncts to running a business properly, rather than producing goods and services.

It's this company [1].

They pay people to watch every play of every game and apply a formula that grades the relative difficulty in order to develop their advanced statistical models.

Some of this stuff has been automated, but a lot still hasn't and still relies on the "eye test".

...Regardless of the feasibility of your proposal, I don't think this tracks?

Your scheme would give money to people. The first-order effect of that is reducing poverty.

Making society more stable is a second-order effect, predicated on that reduction in poverty.

I don't think there's a good indicator for predicting it ahead of time. If you are worried you could switch from tech stocks to something more conservative.

You can sometimes tell when the collapse has started from the headlines though - stuff like top stocks down 30%, layoffs announced. Which may sound too late but with the dotcoms things kept going down for another couple of years after that.

I think quarterly is used as a heartbeat across many teams. If you know your 15 adjacent teams are also quarter planning you can start asking for commitments. It makes things easier to figure out for higher ups too I imagine (never been a higher up though)

Why not 6 weeks? Not sure. Gut feeling I like 3 months. Maybe 6 week sprints are good.

Just started my blog[1] as another way to dogfood Tritium. So far works pretty well. My posts are going to be short and simple but since Docx -> HTML conversion is straightforward, I should have more capability as the product improves as a word processor.

I completely agree with you. I've taken an amateurish interest in linguistics over the past couple of years, and I've often thought that it might be a fun exercise to come up with a phonetic alphabet for the English language. Use the letter 'c' to represent /ch/, 'x' to represent /sh/, etc.

Maybe as a fun pet project someday!

> war will continue to make sense until the hostages are returned

Not really. Hamas should unilaterally return the hostages. They're not getting any negotiating points by keeping them.

But Israel prosecuting the war as it has is permanently debilitating its long-term security and economic prospects. (Its zenith was probably after its Iranian bombing campaign. Tel Aviv should have withdrawn then and fallen back to targeted bombings of Hamas leadership.)

Yes, they are tiny and it has to be considered experimental and unproven as far as scalability goes. They are a long way from trying to educate millions of kids.

But it will be interesting to see how far it scales up and into what demographics before it stops working and they reach their limits.

So far, it seems they've had success with in-person schools and it didn't work (yet) remotely. Motivation seems like the key factor.

> not an amazing user experience to have to share a random string to your friends

It doesn't have to be that way, at least in theory.

They can nerf accounts without verified phone numbers to be unable to reach verified accounts. And delete idle unverified accounts sooner, to combat potential DOS.

People who believe their phone number will be used to deanonymize them, can just use an account they keep unverified, and exchange IDs via other channels. It's harder, but for these people it will be worth it.

The rest of us can verify our phone numbers, and enjoy the easy discovery. (The way it is now.)

Machine-created, unverified, spam accounts will have to brute-force address space way bigger than that of phone numbers, and still only be able to reach other spam accounts, or an occasional very privacy-sensitive user.

I have no idea whether the above is technically possible, though.

You are demonstrating one case of reality denial that props the Palestinian to keep fighting Israel from generation to another, even though they've never been in a worse situation.

There are many other proponents of the Palestinian struggle, that would hate for them to surrender or just go elsewhere, because they need them to keep fighting. I'll name some examples:

1. The Muslim clerics promising them Al Aqsa, who look at the Jews self-rule as an historical insult to a place that should have been "Dar al-Islam";

2. The different movements and people of interest that are implanting nostalgic longing across the 4th generation Palestinian diaspora to a place they never visited and to a country that never existed;

3. Those Arab rulers, like in Egypt, that don't want the "Palestinian Issue" (their words, not mine) to go away because it nibbles at Israel;

4. Those with interests of self preservation, like King Abdallah of Jordan, who rules over a Palestinian majority and fears the moment they try to realize their national aspirations in his kingdom instead of in Israel;

5. Those like Greta and other who look to pick up a cause, and of course lets not forget those who just hate Jews.

6. Lest we forget the billionaires Palestinian leaders, like Arafat and Haniyea who amassed huge fortunes and lived lavish lifestyles on the back of the "Palestinian struggle";

7. All of those functionaries in the UN and elsewhere who feed off this huge machine of handouts in the form of UNRWA, the Red Cross and all those agencies that funnel money and goods to Palestinians wherever they are, keeping them fed and content so they can avoid assimilating and building a real future for themselves, while teaching in their agency schools a curriculum of hate towards Jews and Israel.

8. The Iranian mullahs who need a cause to rally their people, to keep their thoughts away from being thirsty, poor and oppressed.

All of those people making grand plans for the demise of Israel, while Israel just keeps getting stronger. No, seriously; the Israeli GDP per capita has surpassed that of the UK.

What's common to all of those groups that I mentioned is that none of them care about what becomes of the average Palestinian. 10,000 dead, 60,000 dead, it's all worthwhile if Israel suffers.

Golda Meir wisely said, "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us". As long as those powerful interest groups are interested in keeping the Palestinian struggle alive, there can never be peace; and destroying Israel is just a dangerous pipe dream that kept the Arab world poor and beaten for 80 years now.

It is really surreal to see the Americans on here jump to the conclusion that prices should rise everywhere else, rather than that their prices are simply unnecessarily high as there are no proper pricing mechanisms in the US.

If you do have that view please show me some evidence that the US prices cross fund other countries rather than just pad shareholders' profits and CEO pay. No, not partisan papers (plenty of US right wing think-tank papers which confuse corporate income with actual R&D) but actual data on research subsidies per capita or a similar comparable unit.
by LinXitoW | 2025-10-02 23:05:34+00:00
Well, hows the "peace" in the West Bank, where there's no Hamas? Israel has proven in both the West Bank AND Gaza that they do not care whether you violently resist or you attempt to be peaceful. You WILL BE REMOVED from your land, dispossessed of everything you own, because growing the Israeli people is more important than your life, your rights, your anything.

This test wasn't done on mobile.

For mobile, I don't know who outside of Netflix is delivering AV1. If they are, I expect them to be leveraging the hardware AV1 decoders for battery life instead of employing a software only solution like dav1d. Saying that, I think Netflix was using dav1d solution where it had a benefit (e.g. low quality cellular networks)

I thought it might be helpful to post a link to one of my favorite writeups from the beta cohort for solveit (last year). It's written by Chris Thomas:

https://christhomas.co.uk/blog/2025/09/24/the-human-is-the-a...

a few quotes/excerpts:

Being among the first 1000 people to experience SolveIt has felt like witnessing the early days of a significant shift in how we work with AI. As someone who is a seasoned programmer, I have seen many programming paradigms and the advance of AI coding tools. What makes SolveIt different is not just another tool or framework - it is a fundamental rethinking of the human-AI relationship. As I look at my experience with SolveIt, I think this is a better more sustainable approach to AI-assisted development. The current trend of ever more powerful models generating ever larger blocks of code feels unsustainable. SolveIt offers a different path. By maintaining human agency, working in comprehensible increments and building genuine understanding at each step, it creates a positive feedback loop where both human and AI capabilities grow stronger over time. This represents a partnership model that builds competence over time rather than creating dependence. The implications extend far beyond programming. Whether I am implementing computer vision algorithms, exploring culinary science, or writing technical articles - the same principles apply. Small steps, continuous understanding, iterative refinement and always keeping the human as the agent in the process.

> People called a genocide because if we wait for it to be bad enough to be called a genocide by even the most cynical person, too many people have died

No, what happened is the word got diluted into popular meaninglessness. ("It's not a war it's a genocide" doubling down on that mistake.) A lot of people called wolf early and often, and that did its damage. (I'm unconvinced they care. A lot of activism on this topic seems to be self serving.)

> the genocide of the Jewish people in Germany also started far sooner than just the final solution

Sure. We also didn't have international institutions whose job it is to investigate and identify genocide in WWII. Now we do. Turning "may be" and "at risk of" genocide into "is genocide" just means that when e.g. a credible UN agency determines it is genocide, the finding doesn't resonate.

I can't. It doesn't work and makes you the bad guy. Even if just temporarily, that's enough for the other side to exploit. It's always been enough for the other side to exploit. Terrorism has a terrible track record for a reason.

That said, I challenge the premise. Palestinians didn't vote for October 7th. They didn't vote to suspend elections. They voted to kick Fatah out.

Thank you! I just started using mermaid via llms, it's been so helpful mapping ideas out and making sure the llm and I have shared understanding.

I definitely don't need super sophisticated functionality, but I'm trying learn a little more about formal system specification, modeling and verification like in https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262548922/principles-of-cyber-p... and https://ptolemy.berkeley.edu/books/leeseshia/ while I'm working on this project(it might be a stretch, i'm trying to pack a lot of outcomes into one project in finite time).

I want to be able to do things like prove certain bad states are unreachable or that a certain state of the system will eventually be reached, stuff like that. I'm intrigued by the idea of analyzing/enumerating traces and the dynamical systems perspectives of trajectories through state space (background in physics- statistical mechanics).

My thinking is that the more formal and precise I am with specifying the state machine to begin with, the easier the analyses/modeling will be. I'm following a configuration-driven approach where the whole system is specified/composed from YAML/JSON, so I was planning in this iteration to come up with like a pydantic model to specify state machine behavior.

I think the point is that they’re avoiding whitelisting Google and Github domains which is necessary to preprocess images from and use urls to images to their domain in an Image tag. That allows malicious users to send urls such urls to his _next image preprocess endpoint and get “free compute”. (Not sure why someone would do that other than to just screw with somebody).

He’s using BetterAuth hooks to fetch those images and upload to his trusted url to avoid such a scenario.
by cantalopes | 2025-10-02 23:10:59+00:00
Imagine your app uses that Image tag to process image for some specific resolution/quality - just any processing done on your server for any imagw resource loaded via this tag.

Not sure how exactly it works, never used the framework, but i assume that when the frontend app detects this image tag it makes a server call to orocess it and rerurn optimized version.

Now, if someone were to insert such tag onto the frontend of your app and put in source of their own image, your server would do the processing of their image.

I have absolutely no idea in what universe would this be a practical attack of benefiting anyone at all

Edit: oh i see the coment by samtheprogram. I would think that the framework would use some form of csrf, this is a really weird implementation

Very impressive. The economic angle is a bit confusing. Wonder why China thought this was a worthy investment. Guizhou is a poor part of China, without much international tourism or trade.

Wikipedia indicates it is meant to increase tourism, but even China's most attractive regions (Beijing, Shanghai, Great Wall, Chengdu, Chongqing) are under-visited. I can't imagine that Guizhou will be on foreign tourist's agenda for at least a couple of decades. I think this is an attempt by the local govt. to get more internal tourism. It might work out. We'll see.

I never thoughtabout thia beyond analogous (imho) situations, so take this counter with huge grain of salt:

Ownership distributions of critical companies have been tried: post-soviet companies were privatized and their shares distributed "fairly" among the population. We know what happend to them afterwards (ownership did not stay distributed for long and I'm not sure it was due to lack of general education).

Ultimately isnt the point of private companies (publicaly listed companies included) that it creates a 'us vs them' situation where not everyone is meant to benefits equaly?

I agree, and my flow is similar

I've made great use of AI by keeping my boundaries clear and my requirements tight, and by rigorously ensuring I understand _every_ line of code I commit

I believe software development will transition to a role closer to director/reviewer/editor, where knowledge of programming paradigms are just as important as now, but also where _communication_ skills separate the good devs from the _great_ devs

The difference between a 1x dev and a 10x dev in future will be the latter knows how to clearly and concisely describe a problem or a requirement to laymen, peers, and LLMs alike. Something I've seen many devs struggle with today (myself included)
