>> But the thing is, it seems obvious that what Israel is doing won't even achieve their stated aims about Hamas in the first place; Ismail Haniyeh is not going to get creased by a bomb dropped on Gaza, you know?

People keep saying this but I don't know why. For me it's obvious that if the IDF keep besieging Gaza, Hamas will eventually have to come out of their holes, and die.

I suspect this already happens a lot except we don't get to find out because there's no reporting from the locations where IDF and Hamas fighters exchange fire. But, reports from the few hostages that have been released, or freed, make it clear that Hamas is subject to the same deprivation of food and water as the rest of Gaza (the hostages tell stories about the poor quality and amount of meals they shared with their guards) and they're stuck in their bunkers to boot, which can't be great for their overall physical and mental stamina.

This is not a war that Hamas can win, not even survive. Not in the long run. Their best chance is to keep their heads down and wait it out. But if I understand that, IDF commanders certainly understand that and they're not going to go away until Hamas all come out of their holes exhausted and starved waving little white flags.

I think the mistake people make is to think of Hamas a bit like the partisans who took to the maquis in WWII, or maybe the Taliban against the US. It's not the same situation. Hamas has nowhere to go. They are trapped, like rats in a maze. They're not getting out of that alive, unless the IDF is forced to withdraw by political pressure, which so far is not happening.

Besides which, if the IDF keeps at it like it is, it won't really matter because there won't be any Gaza, or Gazans, left for Hamas to control.

Hamas (and I mean the Al Qassam brigades) are toast. The only question is how much Gaza will bleed until they pop out of the toaster.
Ok, that makes a lot more sense. If a company provides a chat bot/assistant, you can trick it into exposing company data it has access to. Thanks

The problem is, "in the middle of nowhere" plus people who will throw down a million over asking all cash means that there's nowhere for people to live to bus tables, to run ski lifts, etc.

It's bad enough in SF with service workers commuting. The rich NIMBYs are going to find their idyllic paradise a lot less pleasant when they realize service workers aren't going to commute 3 hours each way from the nearest city just to bus their tables.

Sure, a large number of civilian deaths, and massive destruction of property.

I have a problem though when the media just shows an endless stream of emotionally manipulative images and stories. I also have a problem with their selectivity, e.g. they don't chose to show us civilians being attacked in Donetsk or something. They also generally don't show us images of Israeli refugees from the north and the south or actually report on that at all. They totally ignore events like rockets being fired at Israeli cities (still happens though a lot less). The coverage of Hezbollah's attacks and massive scale property destruction in the north of Israel is also nonexistent.

Even at the height of the Russia-Ukraine war we weren't being flooded by the same level of images/stories. Yes, we did get some stories out of Mariupol but not nearly as much as we get out of Gaza. Ukraine claims 25,000 civilians were killed in Mariupol (out of 500,000 people!). I think the destruction of Mariupol easily eclipses the destruction in Gaza. The Russians weren't facing anything similar to what Israel is facing in Gaza, they just blitzed the heck out of the city. Who is painted as more "evil" in western media, Russia or Israel? Arguably Israel. Ofcourse Russia invaded Ukraine and for most of us is clearly the "bad guy" here.

EDIT: and by the way, if you consume Israel media, which is obviously very pro-Israeli. You'll still get the same facts about the conditions in Gaza. But if you consume anti-Israeli media you will get no other relevant facts. If you ask people in the west some very basic questions about the conflict you'll find total cluelessness which is a result of that. Ask a random American how far Tel-Aviv is from Gaza, or where is Palestine, or what is Hezbollah, or any number of basic knowledge questions about the conflict and see. Most know O(nothing), see images of suffering and destruction all day, and naturally will align themselves with the side they see suffering.
Even with a star topology, how do you go about preserving user intent for text insertions without CRDTs and without rewriting (transforming) mutations so that client and server result in same state (basically OT)?

When inserting text, you can either use mutations that insert the text relative to some reference character(s) or at some index. The former is basically the approach of most text CRDTs. I'm having a hard time imagining the latter without modifying the insertion index relative to concurrent insertions or deletions. I believe that Jupiter based OT imposes a global order, but uses it to determine how concurrent mutations are transformed against one another.
> Maybe another method is needed then?

What would be useful is a historic example where another approach has worked. I don't approve of Israel's methods. I'd prefer an egalitarian solution. But, I'm all out of ideas. Find me an instance of 2 co-habiting or neighboring groups that hate each other, have huge disputes and ended up in relative peace.

I can give you my recent examples of previous instances that are now mostly peaceful, and all of them violate the geneva convention or UN human rights declaration.

Xinjiang = permament open air prison and extreme brain washing

Srilanka LTTE = violent genocide of all suspected participants and their innocent family. 100k civilians killed

Bosnia - Sijekovac killings = violent genocide of thousands of innocent Bosnians in the Bosnian war

Kosovo - thousands of killings, massive population displacement (1+ million) & US military intervention

So what is it ? Do we want the US to intervene and guarantee safety to Israel ? Do we want real open air prisons and complete cultural eradication ? Do we want population displacement of every Gazan to a 3rd location ? Hopefully we are not in support of genocide ?

Well, so what is 'another method' ?

Every single instance of haphazardly drawn post-WW2 line, has led to some kind of insurgency, war, genocide or forced population displacement. Peaceful borders are drawn in the blood of ancestors. The west is simply fortunate enough to have concluded it's killing mid-way through the 20th century. Israel is currently going through one such process. It is especially rich to see the criticism come from western nations who first created the problem. They encouraged the conditions that led to Oct 2023: 2005 withdrawl of Israel and rise of Hamas, and its unilateral control on aid. They refuse to propose any middle ground solution. It's ridiculous.
Oh, I thought you meant growing in real terms, not just inflation. If it only grows with inflation then it's not unsustainable.

And the monetary system doesn't depend on inflation per se, it's just that aiming for slight inflation is the easiest way to avoid deflation.
I've done the scan. What personal risk do I have?

The money isn't stuck in the app by the way. I've taken out and changed to US$ about $100 and currently have $164 worth in the app and about $10 a week of coins coming in. Which is nice of them. Worldcoin is just another crypto coin like dogecoin or whatever.
It appears some here aren't fluent in WeaselSpeak.

NTSB wanted the names of the specific people who had removed the door plug.

Boeing then gave then the names of employees who may or may have not something to do with doors, for example, accounting, the chef and the janitor.

NTSB then said that no, they did not want that, they want the names of the specific employees who had removed/installed that specific door plug on that specific airplane.

And then Boeing replied: "Sure, here are the names of our 170.000 employees."

The End.
ironic. they demonstrate the exact lack of empathy they think they are deriding
This happened to me during a written final exam, and yes I bled on the test a bit. Was using one hand to control the bleeding, but sometimes I had to turn pages, plus it was dripping all down my arm. Even the digital scan showed my bloody fingerprints on every page plus some large drop stains.
F-Droid is not a good comparison here because the primary motivator for people to use it is ideological, not because it has a wider selection or cheaper prices. The many different app stores in China is a better example of how a somewhat competitive app store landscape could look to the average user.
Congrats! I heared this from ur brother Steve.
I’ve used GPT to estimate compensation for jobs before and got pretty good estimates. I think adding said estimate to the prompt on this app shouldn’t be hard at all and might help
I’m not sure I agree. In a nice ski town, a lot of people aren’t going to be able to afford to own. Because of the topography, you’re never going to be able to build as many housing units as you need to make them affordable for everyone. It’s just a fact of life. That’s what makes it especially important to use the homes you can build.
> I don't necessarily think we should separate applications from theory

Sure, not in general, but shaism was specifically asking for theory, and you replied to them without actually answering their question. And you still haven't.

...and this isn't unique to crypto, either, so it's unclear that it's relevant.

I share the same sentiment! I also worked at Udacity until 2018. Those were some of the most fun years of my professional life. It was sad seeing the original people leave and, with them, dedication to the original mission. I know some folks are still kicking around edtech ideas, so who knows? Maybe Udacity 2.0, once again focused on "Double the world's GDP," will pop up one day?
If they really were at maximum capacity, then ticket sales would drop. But that's not happening.
> You're aware that we generally took the SAT in the same kind of classrooms that we took our class tests, or the state standardized tests, or the APs?

Sounds like a very different experience than what I had. SATs were on Saturday, at a different HS. There were various HS's to choose from, depending on where you lived. I went to a magnet HS (sounds like you did too), so kids were from all over, and they took tests at whatever school was near their house. Within each test center, we were then broken into rooms based on last name, IIRC. I typically knew only 1 or 2 kids in the room I was in (the rest were from other HS's), and would have had no idea whether any of my classmates had extra time.

Even in your situation, you wouldn't have known that a kid who took the SAT with you didn't also take it again, at a different test center, with extra time. Lots of kids take it more than once, and you can choose where to take it. Kids tried to keep this stuff on the down-low, either due to shame (because they actually had a disability) or to hide their undeserved accommodation (because they didn't have a disability).
'Lukewarm' and 'lukecool' (2021)
The issue is wealth inequality - DINK households with 2 six figure incomes massively dwarf what’s possible for a regular American family (one breadwinner, 2.4 kids) - they’re the top 5% which isn’t Elon Musk territory, but as a group it’s distorting housing way more than a tiny amount of billionaires would

Fwiw I don’t think there’s anything inherently “wrong” with it, the market is a brutal mistress

Would hardly call Steamboat a ‘cowboy ski town’. They’ve had speed limit signs listed in both MPH and KPH since the mid 90’s.
For an example of comic lettering 'in extremis', look at Charles Crumb (who was the big brother of the famous underground comic artist Robert Crumb). He obsessively drew the story of Treasure Island with a particular emphasis on long conversations between how Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins. Charles Crumb clearly had some kind of psychosis, whereby the text boxes in his comics became larger and larger eventually pushing out the images altogether. The text itself became nothing more than an impression of text (Graphomania?).

Hard to find good examples... a single example at the near bottom of the page here: https://www.lambiek.net/artists/c/crumb_charles.htm

A much later example here:

> There's a large (possibly majority) segment of HN's population which is so pro-corporate as to be anti-human

Do you have any evidence for that claim? Unless you have access to raw HN data, I suspect not.

Well, if you don't, then you're breaking the site guidelines, and you'll be flagged.
> That's really just a game of whack-a-mole unfortunately. There's no way to regulate away all ways a person can be taken advantage of.

That's okay, it's fine to hit a few big ones when it's convenient.

> There isn't even a way for regulators to clearly distinguish between a person being taken advantage of and a person knowingly agreeing to something.

> Late fees are a great example actually. I know my bank charges late fees and I know its roughly $35. This new federal rule deems that as me being taken advantage of, but I was okay with the fee as-is. The government somehow decided what was an exorbitant fee and how much it should cost banks to deal with past due payments when a customer is late. How can they really decide that,

They didn't decide you in particular were being taken advantage of. Just that it's statistically causing people to be taken advantage of.

And what's wrong with them deciding $35 is too much? The change doesn't hurt you.

> and why should they try?

To whack some of the moles!

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
It wouldn't work very well with Worldcoin. They were not accepting detached eyeballs when I went.
Analyzing curriculum contents and local instruction transcription.

Ranking and benchmarking between educational environments would require an additional psychometric evaluation layer. This would not a Day One function, so the tool would focus on maximizing utility as an assessment assistant tool for instructors. There is a bridge to be built between formative and summative assessment. If this thing doesn't make them better instructors, it would be dead in the water anyway.
Apple has enough subsidies in EU, starting with 5G modem developers purchased from Intel.
I felt most of this was just plain common sense. People read things by headings and sub headings. People look for relevant documentation for product x under product x not y. QA and code samples primes the LLM for what most developers like myself hunt for (a quick answer or a simple code snippet). The forum part got me. Seeing as forums tend to be variable in the quality and quantity of info. If the author(s) suggest forums why not discord servers and gitter chat as well? I know of serveral projects where the real documentation, examples and help is locked up on the discord/gitter channels. Also, in the same vein, why not Github PRs/issues as well? Having the LLM diagnose when an issue was cleared up, migration strats, etc. from github PRs/issues (as I've had to use from time to time) would be great too. Of course, Github/Discord/Gitter would require some kind of filtering to make sure it is data worth ingesting into the LLM but if it can identify it was worth ingesting then perhaps it could also suggest to the documentation team something worth documenting.
The subtext here is that the big seasonal employers can find anyone to work locally. And all the other businesses can't pay people enough to work on the lowest tier jobs. Pay people enough that won't hit their bottom line. So you really have the very rich and the somewhat rich fighting it out here. The solution would be temporary housing that is 20 miles away that they could bus in the workers but no one likes the way that would look.
I'm a lot more concerned by what my insurance company can do with the data than marketing companies-- they regularly deny claims based on data collected by device vendors.

In the following article, see: Sleep aid or surveillance device?

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/11/21/6697510...

Maybe glucose monitoring data is different than sleep data, but I don't see why it would be. In that article, even random customer service representatives had access to his device data despite his asking them to stop storing it. I had a similar experience with a medical device that the person in the article had with their CPAP machine: I yanked a wireless modem out of the thing and stuck a flash card in there, because fuck those creeps. They sent me a very large bill retroactively denying coverage for the device for non-compliance, but luckily I didn't end up having to pay because they accepted the local data I provided without (much of) a fight. But what if the claim wasn't for a comparatively inexpensive machine, and it was for an inpatient medical procedure with surgery, lots of imaging, and a 10k ambulance ride? You better fucking believe I'm not going to voluntarily help them weasel out of coverage.
Everything about this sounds like how I expected Tailwind to work the first time I tried it.

I wanted to love it, but instead got bogged down in all this PostCSS nonsense and configuration before I could do anything.

Happy to see they're moving towards a "it just works out of the box" approach.
Thanks. I know about all the factors, but I didn't quite grasp their argument. I see what you mean.
If they're rich, they should be able to easily solve this problem as soon as it starts causing trouble for them, by paying the workers much more money.
For real? Which states are these?
Very cool project! Can’t wait to see its future development.

Raising taxes for these groups is about curbing demand, which in theory should lower prices. I think the real problem is that there isn't actually that many people that would be affected by these taxes, but if you could show me 30% of a town was Airbnb, I could see it working.
Oh, you sweet summer child.

Who do you think "private supporters" are in Saudi Arabia?

And no, I don't think anyone with anything resembling power or wealth in Saudi Arabia supports human rights.

HRW execs admit via email to the editor in chief of a nationally respected magazine that they raise money by bragging how tough they are on Israel. And then they are tough on Israel, and you think it's a principled stance. Maybe they just have profitable principles, I dunno.
You seem to have a rather stark view of the world.

I'd suggest possibly broadening it to include the possibility that people can be evil in some ways, good in others, stupid and smart, and capable and incapable.

Even the simplest humans are complex creatures.
Anecdotely, a school district in a town near where I live recently signed a contract for software that purportedly had the capability to automatically generate meeting minutes for the school committee. Both the company and the district were a bit cagey on how exactly this worked, but I don't see how it could not be AI powered.

Whether this is a positive development or not I'm unsure. It's amusing to think about the possibility of political cant (d)evolving into some form of prompt engineering or data poisoning though.

An LLM that can automatically respond to FOIAs would be pretty sweet. Very doubtful I'll see that in my lifetime though, and I'm not all that old.

Hey Nico, this looks awesome.

I built out pretty much the exact same thing for JSON Resume (far uglier) but uses vector embeddings to rank relevant jobs -> https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis/jobs

My prompt when running it through GPT-3.5 sucks, doesn't always get location and salary. GPT-4 is way better but $$$$.

I've seen about 3-4 projects doing this with HN WhoIsHiring projects now, I wonder if we should all just share an API (of GPT parsed HN job posts) and pool some $$$. (In my version, I also created a JSON Schema that represents a Job Description)

So a few points:

1. Pilots, even those responsible for accidents, talk to the NTSB, and unless grossly negligent continue to be pilots. The people who do get blackballed are the ones that actually report unsafe behavior before accidents occur.

2. If someone was unreasonably negligent in a way that caused an accident or death, then they should not still be working in a field that impacts safety of others

3. If conditions at Boeing are what are causing these failures, then not interviewing the people who made the mistake means that the mistakes will happen again, until people actually do die.

I'd like to know if you can point to cases where people who were not entirely at fault for an accident were forever unable to work in the industry, given you're saying that everyone knows it's career suicide I would expect every NTSB report of this kind to have resulted in the responsible parties being forever unable to work in the field, so this should be a long list.

But also, if Boeing knows who this person is, and would fire them because of it, why would they not have already fired them? If they had, why would the person not have gone to the NTSB? and similar basic follow ups to your logic.

It just seems super weird that you're claiming that no one talks to the NTSB because it's career suicide, when objectively the NTSB has spent decades interviewing everyone they can find that is involved in accidents.
