Show HN: A website listing (mainly) e-sport tournaments
I was really into professional Starcraft 2 tournaments a while back. But other than ESL, I don't really know what tournaments there are left. So I made this website that shows all the upcoming tournaments for any esport event as a side project. However, I cannot gather all of the tournaments of every game, so all the datas are submitted by the community and reviewed by me.
It's more akin to a finger prick than a needle. Might still be a bit psychologically challenging but I've done it and it's really not bad at all.
Yes, unfortunately this happens regularly, but with open source software it is at least possible to fork it. We often see forks when there are major disagreements. Not all of them survive, but if the original is bad enough, the chances are pretty good. There are also projects that are developed or supported by a trustworthy foundation/organisation, where you don't have to worry about such bad development.
As an off the cuff opinion that seems very much at odds with the graph and research discussed in the article.
> What shots exactly?

I would be referring to all forms of military violence, whether that be guns, rockets or something else.

I also believe if the facility was being used to conduct the war in a significant capacity, e.g. as an ammunition store or as a command and control center then it becomes fair game. Just waiting around for someone to open fire, shoot back only when they are firing, and letting them escape back to their base of operations is not a way to prevent future attacks and puts the defender at an unreasonable disadvantage.

This should still be subject to the doctrine of porportionality and discrimination of course.

> Can you support your claim by showing evidence that a hospital was used to launch missiles?

I never claimed that. It is especially impossible to show since hamas has not been using missiles in this conflict as far as i know. Perhaps you mean rockets?

My main claim is that if the hospital is being used in any significant capacity to conduct military operations it is reasonable that it could be targeted. Whether any specific instance in this war is justified - i don't know, i don't have the full picture of what happened and i don't know what Israel knew at the time of targeting (intent matters). More to the point, i do not believe that allowing hamas impunity so long as they co-locate their activity near civilians is reasonable.

> You likely don't have evidence that Israel is targeting anything.

Only circumstantial based on the civilian death ratio being much lower in this conflict than in other wars where the military bombed indiscriminately.

Generally crimes have an innocent until proven guiltly element. The onus is on evidence is the other way around.

> That's a massacre not a "response".

Whether or not it is ever justified to bomb a hospital is a very different conversation than whether the actions in this specific conflict are justified. For the latter the details matter a lot.
You can still winter there for a short stretch
I don't see where in the article they say there aren't schools, hospitals, etc. in town. I think the idea is that people who have jobs there but can't afford to buy homes would have to commute in from neighboring communities—sometimes a long way.
I guess the unknown is how much the market for tech jobs has dried up - will you always be able to find one? Whenever I see families in line at a food bank, I always wonder what happened that led them to that situation. I will say that employment in tech has felt like an ever-accelerating treadmill of skills that seem more akin to fashion than real technical progress; I don't think I can keep on that treadmill forever.

I use raw CSS. I just scope it to the component level and I've never had a problem on any of the projects I've worked on. I do tend to avoid absolutely massive projects but I've worked on plenty of fairly big codebases and there is no problem as long as the CSS is scoped well using CSS modules. Inline styles are awful for maintainability and readability of the html, which is an important semantic description of your content.
Human right? No. Human necessity in the modern world? Kinda yes. Some businesses are mobile-only now, not just mobile-first. And you need either a computer or a smartphone for many things now. You're really going to be locked out of a big part of normal life without a general computing device.

>Like... what the fuck was wrong with the USA during the slave time?

It's worth noting that this was not an aberration historically but the norm within the colonies and slave states that formed the original "Democratic Republic" during the American Revolution period

People forget that anything west of the Mississippi wasn't even part of the United States at the signing of the constitution. It wasn't until literally 35 years later that the Louisiana Purchase happened and almost 80 years after the Constitution, in 1854 with the Gadsden purchase just prior to the Civil War.

Prior to the Civil War the western "territories" were only such in name only and were indigenous lands that were being run over at high pace up until we got involved in WWII

Arguably America as we know it is only about 80 years old, after the Great Society project ran into WWII and never picked up afterwards, as the US pushed industrialization from 1947-1971 and then financialization ever since.

So, making sweeping statements about "America" especially compared to the founding days is pretty non-sensical

It's been war and conquest since day 1
How do we enforce every other law? If the authorities get wind of someone paying a ransom, they could investigate and then decide to prosecute if they discover that it was highly likely that a ransom payment was made. For the specifics of ransomware payments, for public companies, which line items does that amount get attributed to on the quarterly reports?

In an ideal world, we wouldn’t have a tiered education system and that everyone will have access to master any subject/curriculum regardless of age. Therefore, we wouldn’t need an arbitrary and flawed aptitude tests.
Right? I can't believe this is being so overwhelmingly used all of a sudden.
Is more people living in that area beneficial to society?
I think some of those arguments verge into the 'there is no truth, it's all a matter of how you paint it' territory, which is the argument of disinformation and propaganda (I'm saying it not to accuse the parent; I assume they don't want disinfo, etc.)

Objectively, Israel has caused a very high rate of civilian deaths, destruction of property, and is causing a near-famine or famine.

People argue that such outcomes are unavoidable, but they are happening. I think that the news media would be dishonest to paint a different picture than that.
Yes, the machine should be a humanity-amplifier, not a humanity-replacement.

Seems like you're just critiquing the Who's Hiring thread, not this app. At this point though, I'd wager that a huge amount, if not a majority of people looking, aren't thinking about compensation first, and have accepted the reality that if they can get something that aligns even remotely with what they're interested in or are skilled at, they'd be lucky. Salaries are not going to be what they used to be.

Not defending the exclusion of salary, but I think it would be pretty naive to dismiss the fact that a profound amount of people have been forced into unemployment and can negotiate if it gets there.

Services like sanitation still exist, they're staffed by people who live out of town. Like much of San Francisco's services.

Houses are expensive because the desire to live near a good skiing mountain is high. That, and the potential to rent it out.
Classrooms are not built equal. The grading is highly subjective based on the teacher and there is a strong incentive to make it seem like kids are doing better than they really are. Nothing can replace a standardized test that puts everyone on an objectively measurable plane.

Closer and dearer to Palestine one only need to look at how the Copts are treated in Egypt, the Kurds in Turkey and the Marsh Arabs in Iraq.

>You know that history of human being did not start in 2023.

Very good, so you should remember that the Palestinians are under occupation because of the failed pan-arabic genocide against the Jews of 1948 and the many attempted rematches since.

>Israel is not in a normal conflict. It is an occupation force and their government seeks to prevent Palestinians from having their state and some elements want to destroy them once and for all.

Which state? Hamas has been in open rebellion against the Palestinian authority for 20 years.

Lower housing cost is generally beneficial to society. Making activities like skiing less exclusive and more accessible is also a benefit. One could argue that skiing doesn't directly benefit society. But by that logic there's not much benefit to art, entertainment, parks, and essentially anything other than food, housing, and healthcare.
Seems like a matter of game theory strategy vs. tactics. If everyone were to fight back against muggers, it seems like there would be fewer muggings. But tactically, it might be best for an individual to hand over the wallet.
As long as there's software/devices we can't run uBlock on, there's a reason to run both.
There are distinct psychometric techniques used to validate the trustability of assessments. Those same techniques could be used to validate the classroom assessments, but - obviously - no one has the financial or time budget to implement such a thing. So, the idea is that you would begin by providing an assessment creation tool that can be seamlessly implemented in the classroom that also has the ability, in a more aggregated fashion, to develop assessments that pass psychometric evaluation. Would it replace the ACT/SAT immediately? Of course not. The effort would be a classic innovator's dilemma scenario in which the continuous collection of curriculum, instruction and assessment content creates a unique (and, currently, silo'ed/analog) data set against which to continuously improve the quality of the assessment tool. From there - you branch out into instructional support more broadly, but that's a much broader and more difficult context.

I did a WGU CS degree, which had a lot of online testing.

It was honestly fine. They made me use an HD webcam, show my drivers license, and pan around the room to ensure I was by myself and didn’t have an easy way to cheat. They also made me share my screen on Zoom and open up the Application Monitor to ensure I was only running Firefox. They didn’t let you take notes on paper, just using a portable whiteboard that they watched me erase before leaving.

I’m not saying it’s impossible to cheat, but I would say it’s probably roughly as difficult as cheating in person. Presumably the SAT stuff would be comparable.
Someone should familiarise the local residents with Gary Stevenson's work: https://youtube.com/@garyseconomics (https://twitter.com/garyseconomics)
The exams for engineering licenses have mostly switched to computer based testing. You have to go to one of those specialized Pearson testing centers and they check to see if you wrote anything on your arms and legs. The old test was famously open book, with people taking carts full of reference material. The new one gives you a searchable pdf.
The meaning of 'compiled' has shifted quite a bit. We used to say transpiled when the output wasn't byte or machine code.
This case is exceptional, though, as it's not a big city in demand for its big-city-ness (where NIMBYs living there are going against the spirit of what makes the place successful); but rather, this is an out-of-the-way place, in demand for its out-of-the-way-ness, where NIMBY interests are aligned with what makes the place successful.

The people and developers interested in building there, are only interested because of the rate-limiting being applied to new construction there — which guarantees them (and everyone else who moved there previously) the cachet of exclusivity, and the inherent privacy of big-secluded-SFH-lot zoning.

But if those same people and developers were allowed to come in and build whatever they liked, as fast as they liked, they'd just flood the market with new construction — which would make a quick buck for them, but would destroy the only thing that makes anyone want to live there. People certainly don't live in a place like this for the vibrant community, nor for the amenities, nor — as should be evident from the article — for the jobs. They live there as a Veblen good. Making a Veblen good cheap defeats the purpose.

These sorts of rich privacy-oriented NIMBY communities — Beverly Hills is a well-known example of one — are certainly a bit ridiculous when they're taking up space in the middle of a big city, space that could otherwise have been put to use to densify that city and serve far more people who want to live in the greater area.

But in this case, there's no big city. Just a small town, in the middle of nowhere, full of NIMBYs. I'm not sure densification is the right solution. Maybe just let them have it, and choose somewhere else to live?
Assessment can serve many goals, but yes - ranking and benchmarking are an important function. See my comment elsewhere for the general concept.
Eh I fucked around in high school a bunch (prob showed up to 40% of it) but still aced all my tests. I like the standard test gateway paradigm. Without it I wouldn’t have achieved the success I have today.
Interest rates aren't the issue. Many of these are all cash buyers as per the article. The issue is supply and demand. Building lots more housing in ski towns is what will bring prices down.
They should just say it works with OpenAI or ChatGPT. It's called being honest.
Taking 100 steps after a meal is a common saying in India as well. The saying also advises sleep on ones left side for good health. Goes like this in Kannada - "Undu nooradi nadedu, edamaggulagi malagidare vaidyana bhandatavilla sarvajna"

Literally "if you walk a hundred steps after eating and sleep on you left, there won't be any doctor's shenanigans"

This is a storyline in Yellowstone TV show.

That ski destinations price out locals, due to million dollar vacation homes & tourists.

You see this happen at Telluride, Aspen, Jackson Hole, etc.
> Now houses are for guests and hotels are for employee housing

This kind of raises an interesting question. Why did hotel style housing that you rent long term go away? As long term lodging houses used to be pretty common.
Oh cool!

There was a whole load of these zombies lining up here in the local shopping centre to give Altman their irises.

They're free to do so of course but they're lowering the barrier for privacy significantly by presenting the world with the reality of a significant proportion of the population with their irises scanned. Thus it will be harder for us to keep our privacy just like privacy on internet is gone as a fait accompli. People are already using this as a debate argument against privacy: "Your privacy is already gone anyway so why do you care about this new issue?". That's how bad things have become.

The same way as that, having a significant portion of society do this, will mean I'll be unable to prove I'm not a bot without getting my own eyes scanned in the future.
Exciting! Was Rebol user for years, dabbled in Factor. Picolisp too. All great for interactive use, but the latter two seemed to have more learning curve than I could commit to. Eyeballed R3 and Red-lang but went with Python 2, then 3. Significant whitespace has not grown on me. I prefer my own idiosyncratic indentation convention. Watching your project closely.
I'll state it another way:

If you were an airline, would you knowingly hire the same maintenance engineer who installed a door that failed and nearly killed hundreds of people?

If you were a patient, would you knowingly accept surgery from a doctor who had a documented record of making fatal mistakes in surgeries?

Once this man's name is released, he will be unhireable.

why is this on front page of HN? we all know what this is
Everyone has a bit of NIMBY in them. I don't think it's a useful or constructive pejorative at this point.

No doubt we need more housing, but not every growth plan is a good one and perhaps we'd get closer if we stopped the name calling.
In my state the real benefit of taking the course it that scheduling a road test with the DMV often has a multi-month waitlist. Then, if you fail, you have to wait another 2-3 months to retest.

A better lesson than the state approved course was paying for a morning on the skid pad at the local raceway with a real driving instrcutor. Once your young driver understands how to regain control of the car, they are much better prepared for the first emergency maneuver they will need to make while driving solo.
This. It didn't start with the pandemic or WFH - in the two decades I spent in Colorado, I heard similar stories from just about everyone I met who lived (or more often, used to live) in the various ski towns.

I loved living in Colorado, but during the pandemic took the opportunity to sell and move out - it was clear to me that things weren't going to get better any time soon. And for folks talking about a "crash" or "correction" - that happened to some extent after 2008; it mostly just resulted in big investors snapping up a lot of property at a discount and holding onto it until they could sell at a profit - didn't really help at all for the most housing-constrained areas.
Show HN: Naisys: An open source command shell proxy for LLM agents
How do you do that data collection, though? And more importantly, how do you effectively compare across different schools and districts? Some high school give out As in math to students that can't do basic algebra.
Run NAISYS with an agent configuration yaml, and it will run the agents in a wrapper around your actual shell that is context friendly. It even has a custom mail client and browser wrapper that is agent/context friendly. In the demo video a Claude3 and GPT4 agent build a website from scratch together on the command line.

Sure. As I stated in my original comment, I'm excited about CGMs being widely available. The example in my comment was very specifically answering "why do doctors perform unnecessary interventions?".
This is my pet peeve. There is so much cheap land elsewhere but everyone HAS to live in Beverly Hills, 5th Ave, etc... etc...

Lots of places are just attractive because wealthy people live there and keep them nice. You densify it and it'll go to the drain quicker than anything.
If the situation is that a car skidded down an icy hill and killed a pedestrian at the bottom, what are the contributing factors?

- the driver's skill

- the driver's decision to go out in that weather

- the driver's sobriety

- the car's maintenance state

- the car's tire traction on ice

- the weather conditions (normal? extreme? unexpected?)

- public notice about the weather conditions

- the treatment of the road surface by public works to increase traction

- the maintenance of the road surface (neglected or perfect)

- the decision of the city to build a road on that hill

- the general design of the city that requires people to have and use cars

- the pedestrian's decision to cross the road at that time

- the pedestrian's decision to be outside that day

- the design and availability of public transport encouraging the pedestrian to cross that road

and so on and so forth. If you ignore all of that in order to apportion blame in some percentage between only the driver and the pedestrian, you are not gathering evidence on all of the other factors.

Fixing the other factors would be "design interventions" and "systemic changes to the built environment".
That's like suggesting you trash a hotel room because of some grievance with corporate policy. What actually happens is some innocent housekeeper gets stuck cleaning up the mess you made. The local test proctors are tasked with following very strict procedures and not given any room for discretion, especially if the testee isn't voluntarily withdrawing. It has nothing to do with an individual lack of empathy.
