All might be to strong, but it is clear that Iran is funding, providing leadership, training, and giving vocal support (sometimes in secret channels). With out Iran this might still exist, but it would have a lot less ability.
The history is … interesting, I guess?

… but like, what we (anyone who has used strace on Linux) are looking for is an strace-equivalent to macOS.

I've gone down the "maybe it's dtruss, and not dtrace? what's the difference?" branch in my attempts to get a working strace replacement on macOS, too, also without success.

dtruss, on macOS, emits the same errors as what I put in another comment on this subthread. Even as root, though that would open up a whole 'nother can of worms in attempting to get a working replacement. (And now I've gone down a whole new rabbit hole of "What is SIP? How does it work?" and … I'm still no closer to actually running something that looks like strace. 2024 has got to be the year of the Linux desktop, if macOS's UX is this.)
> obvious answer here just to require all ships passing through the red sea to equip anti-drone technology?

Who will require this?

You’d also need every port that ship approaches and every nation whose waters it transits to clear active military equipment on a civilian vessel.
They also can't afford to potentially embarrass themselves militarily with much more existential grand renaissance dam drama unfolding in the background.
Oh I understand perfectly fine that the world is complex and not all the "baddies" are baddies, and yet, anyone who their official slogan is:

"God is the Greatest
Death to America
Death to Israel
A Curse Upon the Jews
Victory to Islam"

Is indeed a cartoon baddie.

You've written your response thoughtfully, thank you.

Of course my description is of a hypothesis rather than ground truth.

It turns out that there isn't consensus over whether "The Hard Problem Of Consciousness" is actually a problem[0] but I need to admit I didn't know that before reading your comment. You may have been too kind in your assumption of my competence level on the subject. As adjunct, my writing was about my own currently highest probability expectations rather than a mature reporting of the state of the field of experts. It did not seem worth (then or now) writing to such a standard on a public discussion forum, even this one.

My last paragraph wasn't written with sarcasm (sorry to have given easy opportunity to read that in it) but it was a bit rushed, clumsily written, and unimaginative. Poorly written as it was, my curiosity was sincere (its been some time since I engaged with the state of the art) as was some of my dismissal. I have found it common that people have a belief in the uniqueness of humans as a platform for intelligence that frequently has its roots in sentiment and/or unexamined beliefs. Of course there are individuals whose thoughts meet a much higher bar. It is also the case that faith as a basis of belief does not invalidate the belief.

There is so much we don't know. We only recently explained how aspirin works[1]. That didn't stop it from working well during our long period of usage prior to our understanding. I'm comfortable with that an its analog here, that I don't understand consciousness and its mechanisms completely. I seem to experience it and it seems to result from what is, despite my incomplete knowledge of what that "what is" comprises. However, there is an imbalance of evidence for the material hypothesis and it seems plausible that emergent dynamics are sufficient to explain.

So... Yes, materialism is not proven and yet I currently hold it as the explanation that makes at least a partial contribution to the more complete truth. Further, that it is the explanation with the greatest volume of evidence and support. I suspect that it is sufficient for the emergence of intelligence and even consciousness in ourselves and as such sufficient for (through the same mechanisms) the emergence of intelligence and consciousness in our artificial constructs. Note that I also suspect we are still some distance from that inflection point.

Thank you for the reference to the Galileo Commission. I had not heard of it and am always happy to consider new perspectives and challenge those which I have held.

Oh, okay. Thank you!
Yes. The other issue in terms of housing stock is that a lot of the more recent housing stock has nowhere to put a cylinder for hot water, which means it's not practical to use HPs for hot water for showers etc. This either means replacing showers with instantaneous resistive heating-based "power" showers or keeping two systems even if you can retrofit with an air to air HP for space heating - adding cost and reducing savings available.

But the biggest barrier is the relative cost of gas vs electricity in the UK. Gas is about 4x cheaper than electricity per kWh so even with a COP of 4 the efficiency savings will take a long time to pay back capital cost.
Respectfully, history is a terrible measure for carrying on as we have.

Tech people are arguing for accountability in a life/death scenario.

That there is no privacy in public spaces is a longstanding social/legal tradition. A cockpit is physically private for physical security reasons but the pilots in the cockpit are acting on behalf of public trust. Their social norms in that physical context are not their own to define.

If pilots want privacy they can quit and sit at home.
The conventional geopolitical answer for this is: the IRGC is the principal sponsor of the Houthis; the Houthi uprising was funded originally as an Iranian proxy war against Saudi Arabia. The Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah are part of an "axis of resistance", the subtext of which is "they take their orders from the IRGC".

It may or may not be the case that they're disrupting shipping at the direction of Iran, but it almost certainly is the case that Iran equipped them, and that Iran can effectively instruct them to stop.

It's hard to make any kind of comment on a thread here without getting pulled towards one pole or another of the ongoing argument about what's happening in MENA right now; I'm doing my best to keep this as dry as possible, and to hedge statements by saying things like "the conventional geopolitical answer". You can find alternate geopolitical answers; in fact, you can probably find any answer you're looking for. All I can do is relay what I'm reading.
Surely another reason is that automakers have shifted R&D investment from ICE to EV drive trains?
> Then it has not launched in your region, probably. For me in EU it shows option to login with instagram or browse without a profile.

Threads itself is launched in my region. Could you screenshot the front threads.net page you see (when logged out)?

> No app needed

Do you mean you're able to create an account without the app, or do you just mean that there's no app needed for browsing in your region (with no account, or after the account is set up through the app)?
> Attacks on US flagged ships are acts of war against the US, which you would think would cause hesitation on the part of the Houthi and Iran.

Meanwhile, attacks on EU vessels will likely attract sympathy for the attackers from the EU.
I am asking for general guidance on product strategy in this case, not specifically my case.
> What are some pros and cons of using OpenBSD instead of Linux?

Pros: htop only fills half of your terminal, and you know exactly what each process does because you put them there. A few well-written man pages are the complete documentation of the system. The whole thing is run by a handful of shell scripts.

Cons: exactly the same text, but read with a different tone.

Not just that, but most commercial ships are registered in places like Panama specifically because they have almost no rules.

Some of these seem reasonable but I disagree with this:

> A decent engineer will likely be able to write a slack-like application, definitely good enough to cancel the 500k/year contract, in a couple of months.

A decent engineer can already crank out a working Slack prototype within a couple of months, and there are mature Slack alternatives today. There's a reason companies are paying $500k/year, and I doubt it's the code: maybe it's the enterprise support, the external integrations, or even just the name recognition.

Companies getting leaner may be true (it seems like this has already been happening the past couple years regardless of AI, and companies used to be lean in the 2010s).
War with Iran would be apocalyptic to proportions hard to imagine. For one, they could destroy oil infrastructure, and that would be far more destructive to world economies than the current blockading of the strait. That would also mean the end of the petrodollar, a unique basis of American power.
They’ve been at the sharp end of Uncle Sam’s finest munitions for a decade, they have earned the right to hate America. They haven’t attacked any other countries, they haven’t even killed anyone in any of their ship attacks.
Used it for work today. It works well and will keep using it going forward although I might make a php based version.

I did lose my work a few times when I tried to paste the json into they url load field (it requires an url) and when I couldn’t cleanvthe network request browser (feature request). Great work.
Isn’t this just already the case? It’s not clear to me why it would get worse for the drivers license I give everybody as proof of identity to be issued by the federal rather than state government.

This is especially true given that for many applications, I can already use my passport as an ID.
Sort of a corollary to your point: if an admin sets up a website and verifies with Firefox (or Chromium, whatever), and then later the server needs to communicate with...basically any tool that speaks HTTPS but isn't a web browser, then there will be many tears shed by that admin.

For instance, you stand up a server, and then a user complains their script using cURL, wget, etc. doesn't work, and if you aren't paying attention you'll have no idea why.

Inb4 why can't the OS certificate store just do the same thing: I suspect people will tend to install OS updates less frequently that browser updates, so it will tend to be less reliable.
Apollo 13 (and previous flights) did experience "pogo oscillation" from the Saturn vehicle which caused one of the first stage engines to shut down early.

Same—unfortunately most of the content that other players produce is either impossible to lose or is specifically designed to be as hard as possible. You can still find levels which are suitable for your skill level, but the “10 mario mode” or whatever is specifically built around selecting the next level FOR you, so that entire game mode is basically a waste.
We built hellowonder.ai as a PWA first, and it was almost amazing! But we use voice input, and ios would pop up the microphone permission repeatedly after a few minutes, even if it had been approved recently. I couldn't figure out how to keep the microphone permission!

So frustrating to be soooo close, and then need to build an iOS app.
Ah, that makes sense. Okay, you've convinced me my original idea doesn't make much sense after all!
Do these drones need significant infrastructure to launch? Seems like whack-a-mole. What do you do when they launch drones from school athletic fields? Or on top of hospitals?
> US interceptor missiles are something like 3 million dollars each. The Houthis drones are closer to 20 thousand

That’s a 150x cost difference. Well within an order of magnitude of America versus Iran’s economies and defense budgets.

Which is irrelevant, since before this becomes a production problem it would become the diplomatic ones of bombing Houthi supplies in Yemen and intercepting IRGC vessels on the high seas.
There is an "artist mode" in Emacs that allows you to draw ascii art with your mouse.
Why do you think it's needed to record all conversations to "keep proper tabs"? That's purely a gut feeling based on no data at all.

Aviation is by far the safest form of transportation. In the last 10 years of data (2012-2021) there were a total of 2 passenger fatalities on US airlines across several billion passengers for that time period [1].

If you want to start recording workplaces to improve safety, there are a lot of industries to look at before aviation.

Ah that makes sense. I don't pay close enough attention to the mid tier or the low end. I'm sure I saw at some point that there were problems with those cards but it's hard to remember when it doesn't stand out because people are negative about every GPU.

You don't need to a win a war here, just make life sufficiently hard that most of the fighters give up.
You can make up 1000 different potential failure modes to try and make yourself feel smart.
Is the failure in the upper stage? Or is it something in the payload?

Were all of the payloads affected?
But they're not archiving your chit-chat with your coworkers over the water cooler. For pilots, they are (in the cockpit). So I can halfway see the pilots' point.

[Edit: I mean, voice chit-chat. Just talking to each other. That gets recorded for pilots, and not for software engineers, no matter how long they keep our (text) chats for. Stuff gets said in person, by voice, that would never get typed out in a chat.]
Their demands are clearly communicated and reasonable in this case. It is that israel stop bombing gaza and that food, medicine, and aid be allowed into gaza unimpeded.
Is this an actual problem that is happening in practice, though? How many instances of "unauthenticated" airband communication have caused an accident? I don't know. Even if the answer is nonzero, I'd be willing to bet it's less than ten in decades.
Pretty buggy for me. Wonder if better connectivity will lead to remote streaming apps and skip this mess altogether.
The equivalent of what you described is archiving your outputs. In flight, that would be a pilot's flight control inputs. That seems entirely uninvasive.

The equivalent of an always-on cockpit voice recorder would be... screen recording all of your digital devices during working hours? And, turn a mic on just to be safe?
I think it would be a wonderful education tool for future hackers on that codebase!

So who backs Iran? They’re not a superpower. How long does Iran survive a shooting war with the US?
Armstrong's big crime wasn't doping. Everyone at the top was doing it. His crime was going after his team mate Hamilton and the journalists who exposed his cheating for libel. To go to court and call the truth a lie, and a lie the true is a crime. Armstrong is a narcissistic liar. I wish the Sunday Times had done him for millions.
Just because there is a loose alliance and significant military support between several organizations doesn't mean that they all do the main party's bidding, much less that they only do the main party's bidding. (To whit, note that the US can't really order NATO to do much of anything).

I suspect that Iran isn't in any sense ordering the Houthis to do anything, and the idea to attack shipping is entirely germinated from the Houthis themselves (largely as a form of "showing support" for Palestinians, even if, as a few people have noted, this action only hurts them while providing them no meaningful aide). Largely, this is because it's colossally stupid for Iran to push for a provocation that is meaningfully likely to see all the major world powers (except for maybe Russia; note that China is going to be on the US's side here) create a coalition to eliminate a troublesome menace.

I think this is a bit reductive. Sure ZIRP created an environment where people could get away with trying crazy things, but there was still an expectation of growth in pursuit of some longer time-horizon market dominance. These kind of things may be more risky, but they still can be justified in the pursuit of market awareness and growth. Also, when you're building software products, there's real value to engaging the creativity of the team.

The fact that the music continued so long and led to incredible valuation inflation over the last 15 years made the excesses look a lot worse, but even in a more sane financial environment I'd argue you'd still want to do these things to be competitive in an attention-economy, just maybe not to the extremes we saw.
It feels like you're trying to debate me about whether we should go to war with Iran. I'm not advocating or making predictions; I'm simply saying that a conventional framing for the the current conflict is that the Houthis are, whether they've gone "off script" or not, effectively an arm of the IRGC.
This isn't about a primary text editors, it's about all the other ones you're forced to use. I use uncountably many text editors daily, and I don't get a choice in most of them. Like the one I'm using right now to type this comment! Fortunately <textarea> is very sane.
It's not racist; the Taliban and the Houthis are Muslims, and most Muslims believe that martyrdom leads directly to heaven, since the Qur'an explicitly states so.

"Those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, and are then slain or die,- On them will Allah bestow verily a goodly Provision: Truly Allah is He Who bestows the best provision. Verily He will admit them to a place with which they shall be well pleased: for Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing."

- Quran 22:58–59

Many Muslims take pride in the fact, hence the popularity of the "I have bought you men who love death as much as you love life" quote from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalid_ibn_al-Walid to the Persian governor.

Plus the Houthis and the Afghanistanis aren't even the same race, since the Houthis are Arabs and the majority of Afghanistanis are not.
I'm interested, mostly in the method though, as I also like languages.
