> It happens because there is a $3B annual funding of Israel (which doesn't require a vote!!) which is for weapons-only - consequently most of the funding comes back into the US through defense contractors and lobbying groups like AIPAC

I remember reading a column in an English-language Israeli newspaper (probably Haaretz) – sorry I can't find it now – arguing that US defence funding actually hurt Israel. It isn't that much money in the grand scheme of things (around 0.6% of Israel's GDP) – from a purely financial perspective, Israel could survive fine without it. It comes with all these strings attached, which are basically designed to keep the IDF dependent on the US defense industry, and discourage Israel from developing indigenous replacements for various US military technologies. The greater reliance on US technology, instead of indigenous Israeli replacements, holds back Israel's defense industry, causes Israel to lose out on defense export opportunities (you can't export military technologies you haven't developed), reduces Israel's national sovereignty, and gives the US leverage to use to control the Israeli government (if the US doesn't like some Israeli plan, it will send behind-closed-door threats to delay military supplies that the IDF is dependent upon.) It also sustains a talking point which opponents of Israel can reliably call upon.

The column said that the defenders of this arrangement within the Israeli establishment concede that many of these drawbacks are real, but argue that they are outweighed by the arrangement's biggest benefit – it sends a signal to neighbouring countries that "the US has Israel's back".

> The only difference for Israel vs. other client states like Egypt, Japan, etc is the lack of vote required to keep funding going to Israel.

I think there is another big difference – many Americans (both Jewish and Christian) have an emotional attachment to the US alliance with Israel, which transcends whatever its practical benefits might be; far fewer Americans feel that way about the US alliance with Egypt or Japan.
> On the flip side, Jewish populations have been expelled (or worse) throughout the middle east. Israel rationally fears an unlimited right to return or a single state solution that results in them being demographically swamped. Further, we're talking about radicalized populations that no other neighboring state wants to accept-- Egypt does not want Gaza back. States in the Arab world remembers Black September.

Yes, everyone has legitimate fears. I just don't see how the current AI assisted military operation of killing all of "Hamas" members and their families, will help deradicalize the population. Or how making Gaza unlivable will help assuage the fears of surrounding Arab countries around uncontrolled mass immigration, or lead to two-state solution that Israel rejects outright, at the moment.

I use an old Google Titan key, not the bluetooth model but the regular one, as my backup (it was my primary) and a Yubikey 5 for my primary. I like the peace of mind that they give me that no one can steal my password and login to my important accounts, but I found that certain providers only allow a single 2FA to be used, with no backup, so I don't feel good using them there (AWS, what the F?) and also I find that not a lot of services support 2FA in the form of keys, they all want to use TOTP or SMS generally, so I only can really use these for my Fastmail and Bitwarden and a few other accounts, but for my bank or my health insurance, they do not support FIDO keys. I also can't use them on any government sites! I know passkeys are going to rule the world soon, but I don't like the idea that my phone and a 3rd party have access to this 2nd factor; I prefer a separate key for this purpose.

> They can increase security by breaking a single target into multiple targets, by increasing competition around security and privacy issues, by having more people use and work with the protocols and able to spot potential problems, by encouraging more transparency around issues when they arise, and by having alternatives readily available if one of the clients is found to be compromised or insecure.

I believe you are speaking to transparency, not third party clients.

Beeper Mini actually bundled binaries that they didn't understand to bootstrap registration. They could only attempt to be compatible with messages that they have received, and verify messages they send show up correctly - they cannot know they covered all available options.

I speak to this as someone who reverse engineered MSN Messenger back in the early 2000s for an XMPP gateway - you'd occasionally find an entirely new type of message (requiring an entirely new parsing code path for their undocumented/bespoke messaging protocol) because someone registered for a stock ticker or the like.

There was no fuzzing the official servers or clients to see if they were robust or secure - the goal was to have a salable product. In fact, we saw other messaging systems where we had significant concerns based on our understanding of the protocols through reverse engineering, and we saw one vendor exploit a security vulnerability in their own shipping product in order to verify authenticity and block third party clients (which worked for a period of time)

From what I saw of the iMessage system, third party support is not going to be feasible even with a documented protocol without partnership, because there is an assumption of attestation of real, unique hardware as part of registration to prevent mass abuse.
During the end of a dry summer, large swathes of California have the power intentionally shut off for days at a time if moderate to high winds are expected. In those cases there is no emergency at all, so using a car battery works great.

As to your concern about the house losing power when you go on an errand, that is pretty much a non-issue because losing power for an hour or two will not cause food spoilage, unacceptable HVAC conditions, not depleted batteries in flashlights or electronics.

As far as range anxiety, I think it really depends on the location and types of expected disasters. For example where I live the top concern is earthquakes where you may need to flee a fire. In that case even just 10% battery will get you well away from the impacted disaster area to somewhere you could charge back up. In a place with hurricanes that calculus will be very different and this solution may not be a good idea.

As to your concerns about battery wear and replacement costs, I’ve been hearing that line since I got a Prius in 2003. The problem was way overstated then, and is even less of a concern now. With the exception of truly terrible design (Nissan Leaf) battery packs are very well managed now and will last quite long for the average user. In addition, almost no pack actually needs total replacement, there is now a robust and mature industry around refurbishing packs and replacing only the cells that have actually gone bad in a pack for significantly lower cost than total replacement. That industry will only grow and improve as the EV market expands.

The retail industry excessively monitors "shrinkage" because it gets to write it off (which means it's in their interests to over-report, not under-report, at least on the accounting side.)

From the article:

> Even the National Retail Federation, the primary lobbying group for the retail industry, is acknowledging past reports have been inflated and retracting a key point in one of its widely cited reports about retail crime. (These industry reports are frequently cited by lawmakers, journalists and others about retail crime.)

Both a study of police reports and comments from retail lobbyist groups say that retail theft is exaggerated.

> It would be like if you were fearful that police stopped caring about domestic violence - and then someone cited police stats on domestic violence arrests to you. Of course the statistic is going to go down if people have less of a reason to go to you for help.

Under-reporting is extensively studied, particularly for intimate partner violence, allowing for estimates for adjusting.

If you can think of some potential "gotcha" to a study, research, etc - chances are the professional researchers in that field have as well.

> Been a few years since I put NetworkX through its paces, but the several times I have tried it, found remarkably weak support for graph layout and display.

Well, yeah, it is pretty open that it is the wrong tool for that job. Here's what the NetworkX documentation [0] says about its visualization support:

NetworkX provides basic functionality for visualizing graphs, but its main goal is to enable graph analysis rather than perform graph visualization. In the future, graph visualization functionality may be removed from NetworkX or only available as an add-on package.

Proper graph visualization is hard, and we highly recommend that people visualize their graphs with tools dedicated to that task. Notable examples of dedicated and fully-featured graph visualization tools are Cytoscape, Gephi, Graphviz and, for LaTeX typesetting, PGF/TikZ. To use these and other such tools, you should export your NetworkX graph into a format that can be read by those tools. For example, Cytoscape can read the GraphML format, and so, networkx.write_graphml(G, path) might be an appropriate choice.

> slow-motion ethnic cleansing

There are Arabs who are full citizens of Israel, who have elected representatives in the Israeli parliament. There are also Arab judges in the Israeli supreme court. Oh, and the population of the muslim Arab citizens of Israel is much greater now than when Israel was formed. So, no ethnic cleansing there.

The Arab population in the Palestinian areas has also multiplied. So, no ethnic cleansing there either.

Israel is good at many things but it seems to be really bad at ethnic cleansing.

I didn't know about RAG, thanks for sharing. I am not sure, if outdated information can be tackled with RAG though, especially in coding.

Just today, i asked GPT and Bard(Gemini) to write code using slint, neither of them had any idea of slint. Slint being a relatively new library, like two and a half (0.1 version) to one and a half (0.2 version) years back [1] is not something they trained on.

Natural language doesn't change that much over the course of a handful of years, but in coding 2 years back may as well be a century. My argument is that, SmallLMs not only they are relevant, they are actually desirable, if the best solution is to be retrained from scratch.

If on the other hand a billion token context window proves to be practical, or the RAG technique solves most of use cases, then LLMs might suffice. This RAG technique, could it be aware, of million of git commits daily, on several projects, and keep it's knowledge base up to date? I don't know about that.

Notes on how Supercell is run (valued at $32M per employee)
Paras Chopra, Founder at Nintee (digital health startup), points out that Supercell (the company behind the massively popular Clash of Clans game) is valued at $32M per employee, reminding us of how important prioritising long term revenue opportunities at the expense of short term are.

Here’s a summary:

"They seem to be killing 9 games for each game they release. Some of these games have been in development for years."

"Why are they killed? It’s because these games don’t meet their internal benchmarks (primary of which is 30-day retention)."

"Supercell’s mission is to make games that players play on forever (decades), so if the 30-day retention figure isn’t getting met, they get killed."

"The killing decision is not made by the leadership, but in fact by the team that’s working on it.
When teams are communicated clear benchmarks to beat, they keep asking themselves this question: should we continue to iterate on the game and try to beat the 30-day retention number, or should we work on the next idea which would have better potential?"

"By the way, the name supercell comes the way the company works. They’re groups of lots of small game development teams (each 10-15 people max). They’re given freedom to do whatever they want to – but success or failure is defined clearly in terms of metrics."

"Building hit products with a team of just 10–15 people requires hiring absolutely the best people possible."

Why do you think they don't want you to run a jailbreak? It's to protect the walled garden. If you can install apps other than their store, that's lost revenue.

It is. Just finished dropping its leaves/needles for the winter. I've heard from a few arborists they've had people ask if their tree needed to be cut down thinking it was dead, only to be told that's just what it does in the fall (it drops later than most of the other trees). We couldn't ID the one by my old house when I was a kid (internet was still early, nothing like inaturalist). Thought it was a larch, which having seen the tree now makes sense. I have been wondering after the recent HN topic if it has similar fire resistance/recovery that the giant redwoods out west have, realize we don't really know how long it'll live in the here since all were brought in the past 80 years. When the landlord planted it he misjudged how big it would grow (seems to be a common theme with the ones I see growing around). Until we got cats these red squirrels would eat the seeds in the small cones it produces and chuck them at our roof.

Other than the squirrel issue I have that was resolved, the tree is a lovely tree and I have had many dreams of them and memories of sitting in the shade under them with my cat as a kid. It doesn't throw sap like a fir does and the branches are thinner and unlikely to cause major damage to a house if they do come down.
