I believe the solution to identity on the Internet needs to be tied to governments, that's unfortunate but in real life, that's always been the case and I can see no alternative here. Blockchain is a pipedream and no serious work is going to associate a person's identity to a key which cannot be revoked, cannot be recovered in case of "loss", can be tracked on a public ledger etc. etc...

But there's actual good work going on in the identity industry, like Verifiable Credentials, so this will become a reality soon: you will be able to verify someone's identity as long as you trust the issuer of their "credential" (which in the case here would mean basically a username and a public key or reference to a JWKS which can be used to verify the signature of the person, very much like the digital version of an identity card which can be used to check the signature on some piece of paper, but actually cyptographically safe)... so you would need to add a few governments to your list of "approved issuers", or something more indirect like universities (which themselves would rely on the government-issued identity) or traffic authorities (if you rely on driving licenses). Sure, Governments can lie, and people go to great lengths to steal others' identities in real life, but in the current world, we're still able to get bank accounts, passports etc. based on this model... just because the system is not perfect doesnt' mean it's not good enough, specially when there's no better alternative at all.
Another one of those “what good reason was there for flagging this” moments.
I used a web project in the demo because I figured it would be familiar to a wide range of developers, but actually many nontrivial pieces of Plandex have been built with the help of Plandex itself.

That's not to say it's perfect or will never make "noob-level" mistakes. That can definitely happen and is ultimately a function of the underlying model's intelligence. But I can at least assure you that it's quite capable of going far beyond a trivial web project.

It's also on me to show more indepth examples, so thanks for calling it out. I'd love it if you would try some of the projects you mention and let me know how it goes.
> How to recover from a "my env was compromised" situation

depends on the scope of the compromise, its an open ended question with lots of rabbit holes dependent on backups and other stuff.

but as others mentioned: logging out of all sessions is a good start from the <bank, ect> side... people should be logging out of sessions anyways when not logged on a particular sites webui.

we are at a fun time when browsers have too much access (and javascript <reminds me of Flash>) to the host system that they are themselves are the OS (its been this way for many years)... the bigger issue are the websites that dont auto logoff, that have really poor password compliance, and even worse encryption of their own systems. a compromised system also means your password vault is compromised too given that it is in the same env. a more complex solution would be to have your keepassdx on an internet-less system and your browser on another system where a user logs off explicitly, if not automatically). then syncing bookmarks and play-time and sites-ive-visited can be less of a 'my whole account session' got compromised

That’s not true. Within a short time of forming, all the surrounding nations attacked Israel to ensure they wouldn’t exist there. Israel’s opponents regularly targeted civilians with indiscriminate bombings since that’s what their morals produce. They planned to keep doing that over time, too. Keep that in mind when interpreting everything else.

At times, Israel allowed for a two-state solution but Hamas wanted every Jew there dead or gone. They’d push them into the ocean itself if allowed. People called for Israel reducing their presence in Gaza for peace. Doing that led to more attacks instead of more peace.

Recently, Hamas killed and kidnapped civilians on purpose. Whereas, Israel warned people to leave before the invasion where they then focused on military targets. If people stayed and were connected to those, they’ll likely die during the invasion. The OP is about people who stayed that are mostly connected to militants. OP writer pities their families but not all the non-militant families Hamas killed.

While both sides are plenty guilty, one is actually aiming for peace, focusing on military targets, and reducing civilian casualties. The other broke peace, attacked civilians, and called for more genocide. The difference between these two strategies shows that anyone wanting long-term stability with less murder in the area should support Israel.

Also, Israel is allied more with us while their opponents keep funding terrorist groups, including our own enemies. They’re also strong, economic partners. Why on earth would we ditch our friends to back people who do little for us and support our enemies?

FWIW, WhatsApp shouldn't go down because of DNS. At least, it didn't while I was working there. There are (were?) IPs baked into the app packages so that when you're on a network with bad DNS, the app still works. This also protects against authoritative DNS outages.

That said, the haiku readily transforms to BGP:

It’s not BGP
There’s no way it’s BGP
It was BGP

If the sibling comments are accurate and Instagram and FB are also having trouble, then it's most likely shared infra that's problematic. Load balancers, BGP/routing in general, abuse detection, container management, some of the databases (although when I was there, the fb infra databases that WA used seemed pretty individualized and robust --- I don't remember any failures, certainly not coordinated failures)

I think that once you start from the viewpoint that you're not going to create the Torment Nexus, it becomes a lot easier to avoid creating the Torment Nexus.
It's never really that clear-cut, though. Human drone operators, pilots, etc. routinely send missiles into cars, buildings, weddings, etc. that cause collateral damage, killing or maiming innocents and passers-by. Sometimes it's an accident, but not always.

And that's just when we even try to limit damage, vs indiscriminately firebombing or nuking entire cities.

We shouldn't demand perfect accuracy of AI when we don't expect the same of humans. Long ago, we decided collateral damage in war is acceptable, especially when you end up winning the war and there's nobody left to prosecute you except historians =/

> on Earth . . . time runs slightly slower due to the gravitational time dilation effect

When people say "time runs slower" in a location, that means that time spent there subjectively feels longer than it really is in the outside world. "Time runs slower at the cabin, a weekend there makes the city and office life seem like a long-ago time and place."

That's the opposite of what happens in gravitational time dilation. You spend a subjective two hours in Gargantua and decades pass on the outside.

That's odd – I wouldn't expect WhatsApp to use the phone number for any internal routing-related decisions (or as anything other than an account identifier in general). If it's a routing issue, that could explain the problems being localized, but I wouldn't expect the actual account phone number to have any bearing on it.

Energy density is much higher, which is important for applications such as aviation.
Lack of sockets is likely the main one.

FWIW it has actually become better the last few years:

Now you can at least just stick to React and TypeScript and bundle it using Webpack and have months of relative sanity between each time you have to throw something out and replace it.
Seasonal storage of energy is likely only practical in fuel form. Also, there is no easy pathway to electricity to high temperature heat.

> Al Jazeera's "The Lobby"

I hope you at least appreciate the irony of citing Qatari propaganda sources (who for example claimed that the torture, rape, mutilation and murder of Israeli women and children was not done by Hamas but by some random unrelated angry Palestinians who breached the security fence during Hamas' honorable attack) as source for Israel's shady dealings.

I'm sure it is only race-baiting to point out that when Jews engage in lobbying it is considered blackmail and bribery, but somehow non-Jews are only capable of the correct form of lobbying, of "exercising soft power" or "using trade to strengthen peaceful relations", arranging peaceful protests that demonstrate the organic will of the people and not evil protests meant to blackmail people in power.

To be extra clear, in the previous comment and in this one, I'm seriously urging you and GP to reexamine yourself and what leads you to believe that somehow country #28 in world GDP with 0.5% of global GDP is somehow able to blackmail and bribe the entire world and if maybe there's something else within you that leads you to seek out, trust and spread the belief in that claim.

> 972 is very far left, at least compared to the standard Israeli position, I believe.

Netanyahu, who has been PM of Israel on 3 occasions, for 16 years, and was one of the people responsible for a policy of funding and arming Hamas (so Israel didn't have to answer awkward questions like "Arafat and the PLO are willing to come to the peace table and make a two state solution work, why aren't you?"), figuring it better to have an extremist opponent than a moderating one is categorized as being from very right wing to extreme right wing.

So I would say that the very vast majority of reporting is probably left to far left of Netanyahu and his party position. That doesn't obviously discount their remarks, let alone your implication that by default, we should assume their words might not be accurate.

Most of my USB flash drives get reformatted or repartitioned or both. With some of my flash drives, the first gig or two are in use and all the rest of the drive-space is wasted.

Flash drives are the 'sheets of paper' or 'floppy drives' of today. Consider them 'throwaways'.

I do buy some high-capacity USB3 drives of good quality. They have complete operating systems installed.
Unfortunately, no. The CPU would work, but memory retention would be unreliable (because the DRAM is now going ~20x too long between refreshes), and the composite video output would fail to display on a monitor (because it's the wrong frequency).
I live on the Space Coast (also work in the industry, and thus, have access to well - rumors). The SLS (Senate Launch System as we call it here) was pretty cool to watch in person for the uncrewed mission.

Rumor (please take it for what that is worth - rumors) are, many here are very suspect of even a 2025 crewed flight.

This approach works. I just built a SPA in 3 days with GPT-4 of which about 50% was generated. My only tooling was a bash script to list all the files in the repo (with some exceptions), including a README.md planning the project, a file list, and at the end I type my task.

I run about 10-15 rounds with it. At the beginning I was using GPT more heavily, but in the middle I found it easier to just fix the code myself. The context got as big as 10k tokens, but was not a problem. At some point I might need to filter the files more aggressively.

But surprisingly all that is needed for a bare-bone repo-level coding assistant is a script to list all the files so I could easily copy paste the whole thing into the chatGPT window.
You’re missing density of storage. Gasoline and natural gas are in the region of 50 MJ/kg, while batteries are more like 10MJ/kg or lower. That 5x factor is what stops us from having electric airplanes.

Yep, that's one. There are others.
You beat me to it, because I was going to say the same thing; wouldn't it only be carbon neutral if you had some means of guaranteeing that there's no leaks? It seems like converting CO2 to methane could actually make things worse...

Nothing protects you if you're up against a state. That doesn't mean we should give up completely.

Do you have a passport? That's a real identity in most places. Soon, it may be possible to use that to link your identity to a set of public keys which you can then use to identify yourself.

There's a lot of work to be done to make this a reality, but work is surely going on right now and this is going to be possible one day.

> Painting the problem on the other sides while the aggressor is very obvious is a dishonest take at best.

You're right. Israel isn't blameless; I did gloss over history although that wasn't really my intention. It has been the aggressor in the past.

Overall, I feel that Israel has to be aggressive just to survive in the environment. I'm not condoning what's going on today, but it is unfair to act like Israel has some _clearly_ better or "right" choice that they're just ignoring.

There is not a world where Israel could rest without fear of being attacked. The entire region would have to change drastically.

The only way a technology like this will help get us to carbon zero is using it in places where there is not much hope of replacing electricity. While small elective airplanes have been demonstrated, it doesn't seem like we will be able to build, in the next couple of decades, large electric airplanes that can substantially replace current fuel powered ones.

This would require the additional step of converting methane to jet fuel, but that is also a technology under development.

That said, I personally think, in practice technology like this will only delay getting to net zero, because the existence of this will disincentivize investments in electrification. I recall Sun Tzu's claim that a force completely surrounded will fight fiercely, but if you give a way out, it will look to escape or retreat.
Edit: misunderstood your premise. You meant bespoke solely single household servers at home. Like homelabs but without the hassle.

Wuala[1][2] did something similar more than a decade ago, in that users become distributed storage for other users which made the service free for those participating (otherwise was a paid subscription). They were then acquired and stopped their most unique feature before closing for good.

The pictures of monodromy are called dessins de enfant because they are little pictures that are simple to understand. The hard part is why we care so much.
This was my thought, methane is much worse than carbon when not burned, but just released. Any claims of carbon neutrality that rely on assuming perfect storage and transport without leakage are fantasy.

If anything, when you are calling it "easily transportable" at the same time, as they do, you are actively misleading. You can't have both: it's either easily transportable and you are accepting a bunch of methane released (and thus terrible for climate change), or it's carbon neutral and you are baking in the cost of making sure it doesn't leak in transport/storage (and thus not easily transportable). They are having their cake and eating it too by claiming both.

I find LLMs to be useful tools like any other piece of software. Prompting to get creative ideas is just like using any other software and coding it to respond with various options by say, pruning a large set of options based on a heuristic. In this case it’s a black box and the software is a bunch of words strung together. Also, I don’t pay for ChatGPT and often do this on local LLMs because it’s fun to use new technology.

You seem to have an axe to grind, good for you, I think we need lots of variety of opinion and passion as a society.
the same social limitations that prevented you from partying as a younger person, probably also prevent you from enjoying your nice stable life to the fullest. a lot of old boring people have lives full of fun and rewarding friendships.

We can't really ignore Climate Change, as it is something that is currently occurring and unlikely to stop. Also, it is slowly but surely having disastrous effects on society at large.
It's time to remove Nature from the list of reputable science publications.

This blog post demolishes Odgers critique with a simple chart that could have been researched by Odgers with a few minutes work. Instead, she just threw out a politically popular attack without taking any effort to see if it fit the available data.

This follows recent trends, of Nature making decisions to publish content in line with their preferred political ideologies, without regard to any scientific evidence.
I see this, and I like how it sounds on the surface. But I can't help but raise an eyebrow when I see "carbon neutral". Got me wondering how they'll be delivering the gas, if they won't be using trucks or building other infra that uses fossil fuel-consuming equipment. If they actually have resolved this end-to-end, super great! But otherwise, I feel like they're still ignoring crucial externalities.
The https://opencorporates.com/ site is also useful for finding companies registered using a stolen identity or a fake address that matches yours.

This is a real phenomenon no doubt, but I don’t think it’s a big factor in current teen unhappiness. In music, most people just have a spotify playlist representing their identity and taste that has never had a song nuked from it before. I’d definitely argue it’s more about insecurity in one’s future and a lack of any purpose to one’s potential employment.
