In that HN discussion, one of his suggested solutions was for Israel to "pull back 50 miles from Gaza for a number of years" [1]

East-to-west, Israel is only 71 miles at its widest point [2] and is mostly much narrower than that.

Meanwhile the Gaza Strip is only 7.5 miles wide at its widest point. [3] Yet he's calling for a 50-mile pullback to bring about peace, among many other things.

Is he ignorant about the region's basic geography? Or is he fully aware of this and is nonetheless seriously calling for Israel to abandon a sizeable chunk of the country?

I think the key is that believing a consensus of experts is often a good default, but experts remain human, and human are corruptible for much less money than billions of dollars. For that sort of money anyone can convince themselves of pretty much anything, especially when the market is offering feedback in the form of, "You're brilliant, take our money!"

The article also falsely claims that Tesla software is faulty and killing people. Which is not what the software update recall was about.

The recall was an over the air update that increased the nag frequency of the lane keeping assist. Of note other brands such as Kia have no nags or warnings while lane keeping is on but no action has been taken to initiate a recall.
When I was starting my career I had the good fortune of working with a senior consultant who shared a piece of advice when it comes to communication. Specifically, getting someone to take some specific action. In short:

- Just because I said it doesn't mean you heard it.

- Just because you heard it doesn't mean you understand it.

- Just because you understand it doesn't mean you agree with it.

- Just because you agree with it doesn't mean you'll do it.

It serves as a good reminder for all the potential points of failure in interpersonal communications.

The Egyptian blue glass was colored during manufacturing by including in the melted glass certain minerals that contained oxides of copper or, more rarely, oxides of cobalt.

I've made a lot of long freeway drives, and for me, even though I have to keep my eyes on the road, it's much more relaxing when the car does it. I arrive to my destination feeling much less exhausted from the drive.

Anyway, that doesn't really have anything to do with the original post - all I was saying was that it is a functional product and that it's just incorrect to call it smoke and mirrors.
> The thing that bothers me most about neoliberalism is that being pervasive means that the whole idea of tuning economic systems for general benefit is largely gone.

The exact opposite is the case. From the mid 1980s to the recession of 2008 or so (which, much like the 1930s depression, was due to mismanagement by central banks in the U.S. and Europe), the macroeconomy was successfully "tuned" to an impressive degree in many developed and middle-income countries. That was a direct outcome of the "neo-liberal revolution".
Ah sorry for the confusion! I chose atheism because it seems diametrically opposed to Christianity in the US, but my intention wasn’t to single out atheists :) . The same sentiment I voiced in my first comment could be said about any religion or belief system: I won’t close an article with Buddhist, relativist, Muslim, etc views just because they mention their belief system.
I agree about music. When it comes to girlfriends and therapists when the medium is text the connection could be faked with a large corpus and RLHF. Keep in mind that some people already have inflatable girlfriends. It aint pretty but may serve some purpose for disfunctional people. I’d get more worried if it becomes a bigger thing.

When it comes to chat therapy, it could be an interesting mode of self discovery. My only worry is if the goal is to attempt to replace therapists altogether.

> unless its provenance can be cryptographically confirmed

How do you envision that working? All I can think of that could in theory be possible would be using crypto to prove a video existed at a particular point in time. But that's not that valuable in terms of proof. Plus you can get the same effect by just handing a copy to someone like a lawyer who has a reputation for honesty and has a lot to lose if they're found to be dishonest.

As do I, but:

I think your theory is less theory and more fact.

Another problem is that engineers will use a new tech project at work as an opportunity to use a new, hot technology that you can then put on the resume for your next job. That's when you see over-complication.

How do I know this? Bc I have done it - I am part of the problem. I do not want to, but the job market is competitive and I know my employer will never counter an offer I get from a new company.

A lot of this would be solved if companies would try hard to keep their engineers. I would not have made some of the decisions I have made if I knew that I would have to maintain my own garbage. I do try to write good design docs and code comments at least.
It's a cool feature no doubt, but they really lean on that hard to make you want to pay $80/year.
Putting aside the fact that you ignored the second half of what I said, that doesn't really change the point - the post I was responding to said Tesla's tech is smoke and mirrors. Smoke and mirrors means fakery. It means it's a thing that fundamentally does not work, and tricks are used to make it appear as though it does.

My response was simply to point out that it is wrong to say it is smoke and mirrors (or I would be dead in a high speed car crash instead of writing this).

Same here, got my Atari 400 (with the membrane keyboard) and wrote so many games, then later utility programs, machine code routines, and not long after macro assembler.

In no time, we were exposed to FFI (calling machine code routines) and internals (like BASIC program/token storage to make a line renumbering utility), and all the hardware interface memory locations. Learning how software copy-protection worked and defeating it was a great reverse-engineering/debugging passtime.

We were always reading about new tricks and sharing with each other who had the same machines. Getting a copy of the "De Re Atari" document was the holy grail where we felt like we had access to know everything, and we mostly did. I even tried as a kid to make a multitasking 'game' which failed because I didn't know enough about interrupt handlers, but I was close--it worked, briefly.

No, Chile had democratic elections.

You don't get to cry "fraud" just because you don't like the result. And while the Soviet Union liked Allende, realistically their reach was much weaker than the US'. South America is/was "the backyard" of the US, and their reach here has always been the strongest.

Allende won the elections fair and square. We now know, due to declassified documents, how hard the US illegally meddled with its government, and how it helped a bloodthirsty military coup against it. A blot in the history of the US, one that shows how false it is to claim the country is a beacon of light, freedom and democracy.
You say that, but if you go to conferences or "think-tank" events (barf, I know) filled with politicians, economists, or policy experts, you'll see a remarkably uniform set of economic and policy positions presented. Is 'neoliberal' the best name for this? Probably not, but it nonetheless is the name that has stuck for a really quite hegemonic way of understanding how governments, the state, economies, and monetary systems, should interact with one another. In many ways, it's an attempt to create an unholy mixture of old-school Keynesian economics with Chicago style libertarianism advanced by Friedman and his proteges during and in the wake of the Cold War.

The Price of Peace by Zachary D. Carter is a recent biography on John Maynard Keynes that is also a fascinating look at the history and transformations of economic thought after Keynes. I highly recommend it.

Also missing from this are:

* The time you spend managing and supervising, including desk-checking the stuff they send out, because it goes out under your name and you are only as good as your last job.

* IT costs, and office space if they aren't working from home.

* Liability insurance in case they screw up. (Not certain about this: maybe you just trust that your company is a sufficient legal firewall because its only asset is you).

I remember back around 1990 hearing that for my big company employer putting a coder in a seat in front of a computer cost roughly twice their salary. That's still true today.
Rails 7.1 ships with a handy `perform_all_later` method that lets you enqueue multiple jobs to be executed at once, reducing the round-trip to the job backend like Redis or the database.

Although it's currently supported only by Sidekiq and GoodJob (as far as I know), it provides a nice abstraction to enqueue multiple jobs at once. This post explores this method including the behind-the-scenes implementation.
Not really because you can just walk away from a failing startup. A startup can also profit, or you can hire people to take responsibility away from you, or even sell the startup. A child to me is more akin to a jail sentence in that you can’t escape without getting in even more trouble.
You should. Be in demand enough and you can dictate your terms.
Liberalism is more an ethical philosophy, applying more at an individual level. Neoliberalism is much more an economic and state-level political philosophy. They're quite different.

How do you overcome the "what should you try" problem? That seems to be the primary use of ideology, providing the base justification for rallying people behind attempting any given course of action or in cases where you know you'll have an effect but it's not really measurable.

In practice even deeply ideological people end up being pragmatic changing course in the face of evidence of things not working or having the intended effects.

I'm not sure how I would approach issues like, "should we have slavery or indentured servitude," "should women be considered full persons legally or considered extensions of their husband," "should we have state sponsored religion or let people worship as they please" in a way that's pragmatic and doesn't ultimately rely on ideology or appeal to god/natural order.

I don't want start a doping argument on HN, and I don't dispute what you've written, but a very low heart rate can be a result of EPO usage.

There's an interesting account in (IIRC) Pantani's biography of riders having to sleep with heart rate monitors. An alarm would trigger if their HR dropped into a dangerous territory, whereupon they'd wake up and have to jump on a bike (which would already be set up on a trainer) in their room to bring their HR back up again.
Probably this, where she is discussing her first memories on a podcast:

> Annie then basically proceeds to mention that “panic attack” doesn’t quite feel like her first memory, but doesn’t decisively settle on a “first memory.” She concludes the article: “TBD on the first memory of that history. Here’s to exploring.”

> This becomes relevant later on, as Annie ends up remembering an earlier memory than her panic attacks—Sam sexually assaulting her.

Her presentation is poor, but it seems pretty clear something terrible happened to her and was invalidated. Her pattern of behavior is consistent with others with major childhood traumas. Most people are not having panic attacks and thinking of killing themselves before elementary school.
I have no external heat recovery system, so yes it's exactly zero while I'm cooking - but a reasonable way to maintain air quality in an open plan, one of my goals.

The house also has new external wall insulation and other upgrades, so it's rather more airtight than before (though not formally tested just yet). Otherwise they run in synchronised cycle mode for heat recovery and air movement.

I'm not well versed in all the subtleties of theory and current technology, but I don't think regenerative and true ERV go together. If condensation forms in the unit on the exhaust cycle I'd guess does contribute a little to the recovered heat?

These units are BSK Zephyrs, with one heat mass component (ceramic honeycomb) and one fan inline in a telescopic duct. To prevent condensation issues they are fitted with a 2° slope outwards, and a humidity sensor with settable thresholds to purge high humidity internal air at full rate (equivalent to about 1.2 air changes/h for me).

That Mozilla Corporation serves the interests of Mitchell Baker, that I can believe. Note that Mitchell Baker is also one of the six members of the board of directors of Mozilla Foundation.

> Foundation makes money for Corporation

What? No, that's completely incorrect. Corporation makes some money, mainly from deals with search engines, all of which goes from Corporation to Foundation. No money is ever transferred the other way around.

Corporation is fully owned by Foundation. Corporation brings in money for Foundation, Foundation steers Corporation.

>Are you making music, or generating music?

> You don't have much control over what is being generated

I don't understand this nitpick at all. What part of "make" implies fine-grained control over the output? Parents didn't have much control over what's generated when a child is, but by any reasonable definition of the word "make", the baby that comes out is "made" by the mother and (to a lesser extent) the father!

> A lot of the enjoyment of music comes from connecting emotionally with the artist. The artist had something to say based on their experience of life and adversity. You relate maybe because you've been there too.

I think you might be assuming that your experience generalizes a lot more than it does. I've been a musician for decades, and I'm constantly listening to music, and I don't need to know who did what to be able to enjoy a song. To be clear, there's nothing _wrong_ with that being part of your enjoyment, but there's nothing wrong with just liking to hear sounds that sound "good" without caring about where they came from.
It's not like I'm fundamentally opposed to market based economies. I'm just really not a fan of the way neoliberal schools of thought shape them, primarily by cutting the state to a dysfunctional minimum. How bad stuff can really get becomes really apparent when you take a look at Germany as an example, specifically the huge drama that was the federal budget for 2024 (I'm sorry, I don't have any good English sources to recap everything). This debate was entirely shaped by neoliberal schools of thought, not only by the officially neoliberal party (FDP), but also by essentially all other ruling parties (the Greens as well as the SPD), as well as the leading opposition party (CDU/CSU).

I firmly believe that a well ran and reasonably strong government, government market participation (i.e. in terms of providing infrastructure) and market intervention (i.e. antitrust legislation and intervention) leads to a net benefit for the vast majority of people in a given economy.

Also, especially in terms of something as fundamental fiscal & monetary policy many neoliberal discussions, for example those focussing around government debt, are demonstrably false.

For economies that enjoy a large degree of autonomy, schools of thought like the modern monetary theory serve as much better frameworks to explain macroeconomics and are substantially more suitable to build a progressive economy.
>The amount of money stolen via income tax evasion, financial crimes... by the well off is massively, massively greater than the total amount stolen by the poor via shoplifting and other theft crimes.

But the article is talking about "more crime", not "more money stolen" or similar. I think most people would agree that there's "more crime" happening when 100 people each steal $5 worth of candy bar from a store, than if a single person failed to report ~$2000 worth of income, and is therefore evading $500 worth of taxes.
> So I'm wondering yet again: why do people find C pointers so difficult to grok? Is it conceptual (indirection), notational (& and *, arrays as pointers, etc), or something else?

I think people need some background of computer architecture and operating systems before working with pointers, then instead of "what the heck are these addresses?" you get "oh that's how I can use all of these addresses, finally, yay, pointers" moment. If you just learn C/Cpp and related without the background, it's some magical and cumbersome feature.
