Tyler Cowen also did a podcast with Jonathan Haidt where he questioned Haidt's conclusion that the smartphone/social media are the cause of (some) younger people's poor mental health.

Cowen also questioned Haidt's prescription about how social media companies and the government should regulate social media through (stricter) age verification etc.

> We don't know yet whether or not Israel will charge the people involved in the aid worker bombing

In 2021, Israeli forces killed an American-Palestinian journalist on duty in plain sight [1] I will quote that from Wikipedia

"Israel denied responsibility and blamed Palestinian militants. However, it gradually changed its narrative until admitted she was "accidentally" killed by Israeli fire, but refused to undertake a criminal investigation"

and

"On September 5, the IDF released the results of its own investigation, finding that there was a "high possibility" that Abu Akleh was "accidentally hit" by army fire, but that it would not begin a criminal investigation"

Another example

In 1996, IDF fired shells on UN compound near a village called Qana and caused a civilian massacre. The UN investigated, and Israel refused the results and did not punish anyone [2]. Let's give them a benefit of the doubt, maybe they will just learn and avoid doing it again. Fear not, in 2016 they give us the second Qana massacre [3] without anyone getting punished.

And there are maybe hundred of these events which can establish that Israel doesn't care and IDF don't get punished.

I also refuse the logic that Israel should investigate war crimes by its army. That is absurd, like waiting for Russia to investigate and take their words for Bucha massacre. IDF have very well documented war crimes in the past and IDF is the occupying forces of Palestine and is mass starving 2.3m to death in Gaza right now. Believing that they will carry honest investigation and punish their soldiers is laughable.

And let's not forget to add the IDF lie, and they are blatant Liars. We still remember them claiming week days in Arabic are names of Hamas operatives [4]. Why do you expect us to believe them? Of course, the Israeli officials and cabinet members calling for violence, crimes against Palestinians are well known to everyone now (Feel free to ask me for examples).

I don't believe their cost figures (look above; their 250/t for CO2 doesn't jibe), and I think electrification of most residential/commercial uses will be the superior solution (it's more efficient even if the electricity is produced by burning natural gas). Industrially, hydrogen is just fine. After all, industry already manipulates vast quantities of hydrogen.

The fossil fuel uses that are the most difficult to displace involve liquid fuels for transportation; natural gas has limited use there.
When this latest series of attacks started there was still some room to charitably interpret what the IDF had to deal with, but we've had months of constant action and very obvious suffering and death that the IDF has been imposing upon Gaza, either intentionally or through sheer apathy. They've long since lost the "oh but think critically" excuse. The amount of suffering they are inflicting is not at all justified, it has gone far beyond just a tit-for-tat retaliation.

That's not how that works. In California, he would need to be found guilty and only then would there be a trial about whether he was mentally well. It's also not about whether he has a mental health issue, but about whether he was capable of forming criminal intent and thus being held responsible.

The shitty part of this isn't that the judges have that ability, there's a time and a place for that.

The bad part is that the system thought so little of him because he was poor and homeless that he couldn't convince them of his identity, despite having a social security card and a state ID from the state he was being prosecuted in. Everyone just assumed that the guy with the money was the "real" guy, because why would he impersonate a homeless person? I don't think Woods ever could have won, no amount of documentation would have convinced everyone.

It's awful that the people that finally believed him were a hospital. Then when somebody with money asked the police about it, suddenly it's credible and worth doing DNA testing on.
Other sources also have the number at around 10k fatalities. For e.g., the Harvard Kennedy School: https://www.russiamatters.org/blog/russia-ukraine-war-report...

Perhaps the number is higher. What's your best estimate for the number of civilian casualties in Ukraine? How about military casualties on both sides?

And, quibbling over numbers aside, surely you can see that the nature of the war in Gaza and the war in Ukraine are very different. In Gaza, civilians are taking the brunt of the fighting. Ukraine, in contrast, is hell for soldiers, but civilians and aid workers are generally moved away from the front, and they're more rarely treated with the wanton disregard and disdain that Gazans suffer.

To all appearances, what's happening in Ukraine is a war, fought by and large by the accepted rules of war. In contrast, I don't think that Israel is fighting a war; they're marauding and taking shots at a densely populated civilian enclave that refuses to surrender to them unconditionally.

That's definitely the most painful part of iterating on Nix code for me, even in simple configs. You eventually develop an intuition for common problems and rely more on that than on deciphering the stack traces, but that's really not ideal.

The only real solution is to discourage drug use in the first place. Early education is the best deterrent but with our modern pluralistic society you can't even get people to agree on what is "good" or "bad." Not only that but these chemicals are extremely physically addictive and cause a derangement in higher executive brain functions. Often the most effective repellent is a threat of negative outcome for the targeted action. Impulse control (internal or external) is the only thing that really separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom.

Unfortunately, if the new laws are enforced there will be a "correction" that takes place and I imagine that will include fines, arrests, and jail.
It's not just emotional support, it's the bubble of "pretty" social networking. Even people who hate eachother will smile in a photo for instagram and will look like they "love" eachother. People just post the filtered best moments of their lives, their best experiences, a lot of pretty stuff, and they filter out the rest... nice photo of a beach? Sure.. sewer pipe just outside of visible photo? Nope, cropped out. Roaches in the cheap shitty hotel? Nope. Nice sunset? Sure. Saving for months for that trip? Nope. Travelling 16 hours on a bus? Nope. Cocktail with an umbrella? Yep, photo!

And then there's you, doing all the same shitty stuff everyone else has to go through, sitting on the toilet at work, scrolling instagram, and you don't see any of that, but you get an impression that everyone else is living a much better life, because you only see the highlights of their life. And then you save all that money, spend it on the same shitty bus, for the same shitty hotel and sewer infested beach, but you still crop out only the pretty stuff and post that.
Anytime you see a plot that is just a parking lot with an attendant in a dense city, that is just a land speculation play. That parcel is still extremely underused, but putting a parking lot on it lets the owner extract some rent in the mean time. A land value tax would ideally be high enough that the owner of that plot would be losing significant amounts of money even with that parking lot there, and would be incentivized to sell it to someone who wants to actually develop it immediately.
Probably not, but then why should it? Freight is a massive industry for port cities, not to mention the huge amount of downstream folks across the country that depend on them. A few folks being a bit later on their already-long journey is hardly too steep a price to pay for the continued efficiency of the rail network.
Gilgamesh stories start showing up circa 2100 BCE. The epic proper, a compilation of several of these stories, is newer, dating no earlier than 1300 BCE. And while the Gilgamesh stories that became the epic date nearly to the point where stories started being written down in Mesopotamia, there are plenty of other stories that are as old, if not older. Gilgamesh is just prominent as the most widely-read work of pre-Homeric literature.
I’ve thought about it systematically and it appears to be genocide
I'm actually writing a piece about this today for We Distribute. The long and short of it is that it's not impossible, there's just a lot of red tape.

Whether it's a government entity, or a large corporation, you're going to have the same issues with procurement:

* Finding software that fulfills requirements on auditing and security requirements.

* Selecting a vendor that fulfills a laundry-list of contractual obligations / legal requirements. They'll need to honor comprehensive Service Level Agreements for government access, and be proactive in patching, deployment, and mitigation.

* Integration with a government-grade Single Sign-On solution like ID.me

* Onboarding resources for agencies and individuals, plus tooling for social media teams

* Setting policies that respect the First Amendment, while also moderating things like hate speech, pornography, etc

The other hurdle for this is funding and staffing to run all of this.

None of this is necessarily impossible, and I think something like this could be really beneficial. But, I don't think the ecosystem of the Fediverse (from a platform or vendor perspective) is necessarily there yet. I'd love to be proven wrong.
As a broad advancement that's true, but on individual companies there's going to be a ton that don't make it (which is the case for all companies, but for AI there's a significant number of new ones to fail within the next 10 years).
Legendre transform moves a ruler (tangent line) along a convex function, measuring how much "lag" the function accumulated while "accelerating" up to its velocity at a certain moment, relative to having constant velocity for its entire history.

The larger the function's 2nd derivative is, the smaller the transform value is.
And vice versa. Since the tranform is written in terms of the original function's derivative, not it's "x value", the derivative of the transform is inversely proportional to the derivative of the function

I don't know if RedHat would have caught it. But the benefit of Red Hat is, they would be the one to fall on the sword. Your product is built on RHEL. This happens. You get to shift blame to RHEL and RedHat would eat it. The positive is, after the dust has settled Red Hat could choose to sort of adopt the compromised piece (invest engineering effort and take it over) or take some stewardship (keeping an eye on it and maybe give a hand to whoever is maintaining it after).

Show HN: I made a crypto DeFi yield tracking in 3 days
Hey HN,

An iOS dev trying his best to make a living as solopreneur. The mission for this year is to launch 12 iOS apps.

This app started by a tweet as there were lots people trying to display crypto widgets on the iOS homescreen by following 5 steps which included downloading an app, adding a script, editing, etc.

So after quoting that tweet and asking if were any interest for an app instead, I ended up building and releasing arbolito app to the AppStore in just 3 days.

The first version included dollar rates in Argentina (yes, we have multiple exchange rates for the dollar, it's crazy) and stablecoins/btc/eth prices in pesos for all the LA CEXs. Later added more countries and CeFi yields.

A week ago I've released L2 fees widgets with the gas/txs fees for Ethereum L2 and sidechains.

Finally, a couple of days ago, I've launched a DeFi APYs tracking by chain (including Widget). So far it supports the most well known protocols on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optismim, Polygon, Gnosis and Avalanche.

ps: It's free, no ads, no sign-ups, no tracking, no creepy stuff, etc.

I hope you like arbolito. Would love your feedback please. Thanks.

I don't think I see a dashed trail, but I will pay more attention. I mostly find that many modern car LED lights are flickering very obnoxiously. And it is worse during motion.
Specific issue aside, one thing I find so frustrating is that it’s basically impossible to contact big tech. He had to sue for this to get resolved. I get that AI and heavily automated processes are always going to be a thing with platforms with so many users, but there needs to be a way to speak to a real human who is empowered to fix issues when things aren’t working.

This is especially bad in Ubers case given the extortionate service charge that they add. It’s not like it’s an ad supported free user that brings hardly any revenue.
Green hydrogen and other "e-fuels" are an attempt to keep the gas industries infrastructure alive and relevant. If you see someone break down the math it makes zero sense, it just sounds nice.
If you multiply out the number of targets that Lavender generated by the number of acceptable civilian deaths per target, you get a number that is ~40% of all Gazans.
26, this feels so right.
not sure what I'm supposed to be looking forward to.

All the movements I could be happy about are regressing (trans rights, women's rights, hell even gay rights which seemed incredibly solid). Climate change is going to ruin everything and we're not going to do anything about it. Gaza is a neverending parade of tragedies.

It feels like all there is to do is sit around and feel bad and wait for things to get worse.
No, you've completely invented a system that is not how land value taxes work.
Or overpopulated cities. Cities can be too large.
The cost to run and operate a social media server is negligible in comparison with the payroll for people managing POTUS account on all the different platforms.

Also, "people" complain about everything, it doesn't stop the government from spending however they want.

When there is a will, there is a way. If these are the best "reasons" to not do it, seems like it is just a lack of will to be independent from Big Tech.
Maybe it's because the overwhelming majority of the people being killed are actually just regular people?
To clarify, the actual causality is this:

1) YIMBY's want to keep out crime.

2) The only tool available for keeping out crime, is to keep housing prices high and to keep out low-income housing projects, because low-income people disproportionately commit more crime.

3) Even though this is sub-optimal and I would like a much more fine-grained tool for keeping out crime (eg, being allowed to run criminal background checks on every person moving into my neighborhood), it is the only tool I have to protect my family and my children, and so I feel no moral guilt about using it.

4) Because black people have 10X-30X higher rates of crime, and higher rates of poverty, ANY policy that keeps out criminals or keeps out low-income populations will disproportionately keep out black people. But the end goal is not to keep out black people, that is not the point of the policy, that is an unfortunate side-effect caused by the higher-crime rates and higher rates of poverty among black people, which I have no power to fix.

My thinking is that those are additions developers can use to enable better experiences with a service hosted remotely. The local LLM seems like an end-user feature.

The local LLM feels like it could/should be its own app, separate from the browser. If the point of the local AI is not keep the users data local, it seems confusing to have it in the browser at all.
They're using objects, including arrays [1], so I think they would have been more precise to say that they're using objects and arrays as simple data structures rather than using OO features like inheritance and mutation.

You completely lose any credibility with this statement. Civilians can't be "stripped" of protections of international law.

Aren't those relative positions and velocities predictable enough? I believe NASA regularly makes predictions somewhat like this, such as when specific large asteroids are predicted to come near earth.
What we need is a Defragmentation tool for our world. I will posit that the current state of it is a natural evolution of the process of breaking things down and creating choke points/friction to produce more value. Up to the point that each generation loses track of it's reference points little by little therefore repeating history under a different disguise.

This shook a bit of illusion from my eyes, thank you. I never thought of Amazon's efforts in this as solving a real problem or adding real value! This is because for me, it doesn't, and I never thought it through beyond that.

Once again, the human tendency to think that our own situation represents the norm fooled me.
> If a new row comes in, you just need to push it to your table, and LiveView will update the client for you.

Don’t do this in line-of-business apps where those rows are interactive. The cognitive latency readily induces users into clicking the wrong thing, emailing the wrong customer, refunding the wrong transaction etc. My preferred UX instead is a sticky banner conveying “the data has changed, click here to refresh”. Or, in a pinch, ensure that new rows are rendered append-only with no change in scroll position.
The Magic Switch – Modern Update
This is obviously veering way off course of the topic of AI at this point, but I imagine the residents of kibbutz be'eri and the 100+ hostages still held in Gaza would disagree that Isreal is fighting for "basically no reason." I'm interested in analysis and criticism of Israel's use of AI in this case but suggesting Israel has no causus belli is absurd.
An entire civilian population cannot be stripped of its protections of international law. This type of dehumanising rhetoric is the exact filth that leads to genocide and other atrocities (as we can see happening live in recent months).

I think this is usually a problem which is more easily solved by better funding tax authorities and installing better oversight rather than by making it easier for people to not pay tax.

I think most people's tax affairs are pretty clear-cut to assess (e.g. if you are an individual earning an income or run a small business). People who structure their tax affairs in convoluted ways where it becomes non-trivial to work out what the correct amount of tax they should be paying is (or even a question which can't really be answered until you are in caught) generally have a lot of money or are trying something stupid (e.g. trying to pay yourself your salary as a loan through an offshore company where the tax authority are obviously going to think this is illegal, see https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2024/01/18/barrowman_fraud).

There is zero evidence any city in America is even close to this point. We're still on the beneficial end of densification: marginal increases in density improve outcomes on practically every metric.
