Israel is acting towards its declared objectives which it views as existential: The removal of Hamas from power in Gaza and the return of its hostages. Hamas is acting towards its declared long term objectives of destroying Israel at any cost.

It's ok for you to disagree with those objectives, or Israel's assessment of threat, but you can still see how a truce that leaves Hamas in power does not align with Israels' declared objectives. If you can offer a truce to Israel that removes Hamas from Gaza and Israel rejected that then I'd support your argument but that option is not on the table at the moment (partly because it does not align with Hamas' objectives). From Israel's perspective the proposed truce neither guarantees the return of all Israeli hostages nor the removal of Hamas from Gaza.

Israel's current government is also unlikely to work towards the proposed truce because it involves releasing Palestinian prisoners which will be seen as a win for Hamas and also a potential for future violence. This is where Israel is divided internally with many (most?) supporting a truce and parts of the government working against it. But most Israelis would still see the truce as temporary and agree that Hamas' survival in Gaza is not acceptable after Oct 7th. If Hamas was to e.g. leave Gaza (like the PLO left Beirut) then many options open up for ending the war and moving forward (including removal of the current Israeli government).

Again regardless of your opinion/politics you need to see this from Israel's side if you want to be able to achieve a solution. The Ukraine/Russia conflict is similar in that you need to understand what both sides are looking for and what they're willing to concede before you can end that war. Just saying that you think the war should continue until Russia is repelled from the entirety of Ukraine, while potentially a reasonable moral position, may not be a practical one or one that minimizes the number of people getting killed. I say that as someone who is 100% supportive of Ukraine. There's the idealistic outcome and then there's reality.

It's certainly true that if Israel has no other alternatives, and under the assumption it views Hamas' survival in Gaza as an existential threat, then it will continue to use force to achieve that objective, which will certainly lead to more people getting killed. Israelis and Palestinians.

If this is the scenario we're looking at, and we want to minimize Palestinian suffering and casualties, then we should be looking at how this force can be used in the most optimal way to achieve these objectives. For example, a truce that gives Hamas a chance to rebuild its defenses and re-establish control over broader areas of the Gaza strip is almost certainly going to lead to more suffering and casualties.
This is a valid point, but I wonder how many installs are managed through a commercial contract. My assumption is that it would be a small number of high value contracts, but the bulk of installs are just free Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora installs.
I think I'd appreciate some sort of "semantic grouping" of individual changes more than drawing someone random line and classifying all changes below it as "trivial".

The problem is that even a lot of the changes that normally constitute clutter can become relevant in certain situations or even introduce bugs.

One example would be ordering of Python imports: Changing the order of imports should have no effect on program behaviour if all your packages are well-behaved - and in 99.99% of cases it indeed hasn't. But the fact remains that imports are statements that are executed and can have side-effects. If a package does something nontrivial during load, changing the import order can have effects. Hiding such a change could mask introduction of a bug.

Hiding changes can also lead to confusion if you are trying to understand a series of changes that are based on each other, or if all changes of a commit are hidden. I've had the latter situation with IntelliJ, where the working tree was shown as "unclean" but the diff was completely empty. Solution: The diff wasn't actually empty, IntelliJ was just set to hide the changes.

I think a more interesting solution would be to build a sort of "tree of changes": At the bottom, you'd have the individual changes in the file; one level up, the changes would be grouped into higher-level operations, such as "change formatting", "rename identifier", "remove field", "move function", etc.
If possible, those could be grouped into even higher-level changes, such as "implement new class" or "extract expression into function", etc.
Not really...a lot of people I know would have the same complaint. I think it shows the disconnect between you and OP, not that he's trolling.
Certainly not "universal" (targeted to the unhoused) but maybe more towards the "basic" issue you pose:

If you make student loans dischargeable and private, wouldn't lenders would tighten up and only give loans to people with good odds of repaying the loans? IE, people from middle class+ could still get loans, but how about the smart kid from a very poor family? Wouldn't they be too risky to give a massive loan to?
This is a really great-looking project. I know I've considered building (a probably worse) version of exactly this on almost every mixed ML + Data Engineering project I've ever worked on.

I'm looking forward to testing it out.

The new article cited states that in the 1432 people who took part of the trial the folks that took ivermectin recovered one day faster than the folks who did not (11 vs 12 days).

Thus there is a small effect seen that is indeed suggestive that ivermectin helped. However there are a number of things to call into question including why didn't they just take the medicine for longer than 6 days and most antivirals will not show that significant of an impact in this type of study.

Another study showed that ivermectin synergized with remdesivir making each drug approximately 4 to 6 times more effective. As with most viruses I would expect a cocktail or combo antiviral to be much more effective than monotherapy. Is therefore not that surprising that many of these ivermectin trials do not seem to discover much of an effect against COVID

> For the longest time, we tech workers have convinced ourselves we're special

Because we are. In the sense that we own the means of production: our education and experience are the tools we take with us wherever we go. We own the process of (for example) software development like the craftspeople of old used to own production processes of material things.

We can dictate terms, because when we walk away, we take our workshops with us. The laptops and networks and all the infra any tech company owns/maintains, these are simply interchangeable shells.

The RTO struggle is incidental here; what really threatens our productive autonomy are the nascent AI tools, where big capital again threatens to hold a new generation of tools captive. If we're not careful, what has played out over the course of the Industrial Revolution (fragmentation of workflows, despecialization into piece work, transfer of ownership of tools, etc) will happen again in the Information Age.
A minor mistake: You say "An identity provider (ISP): the centralized service your user will use to authenticate". You mean "IDP", not "ISP".

Yeah, the opaqueness of the profits and losses of Hollywood's production process have been infamous since Mel Brooks' The Producers - in 1967.

A few stars, directors, producers or etc can determine the success of a production when there's full competition - maybe, everything is uncertain. The gist of the discussion is that Neflix is will to pay less by virtue of having become such a monopoly it can just dictate the winners. But as the parent says, what's happening with Apple is likely much more opaque.

While that may be an exaggeration, there's some truth to it. My kid is not even remotely interested in traditional "movies" or "tv shows." Same with all her friends. To a kid, sitting down in front of a TV to watch cable or stream a Netflix movie is something old people do. I don't think Hollywood's death is imminent, but the early signs are appearing.

Almost there! Now finish the job by taking that crucial "hey that reasoning is sketchy" insight and look at how it also applies to your original argument.

Thinking about that, I was happy about Rinse.fm still existing and a couple of other stations still playing live sets – not that I like everything, but when a DJ hits the spot, it's really satisfying.

Live sets generally are an antidote to this kind of music fatigue for me.

Of course there are other remedies, e.g. timeless albums and live music, I also a deep love for Bach's keyboard music, and some of that proved to me how much context matters for enjoyment.

And ditto about Youtube, it's not a bad offer in itself but the music app really sucks, many parts of Google TV are mediocre, too. In the latter case, I appreciate their effort in that case though (gtv in general), and the p/v I get from that 40€ hdmi+usb stick is not too bad either since i use a cheap chromecast.

That's a thing I still like Google for, at least in my case Chromecast makes it possible to reuse a cheap ~10y old LED tv for purely internet tv, with a functional remote, etc.

It's not new, but Google's TV sticks are pretty decent imo
I really fail to see how interacting with the community to see how we feel could possibly be negative. Sure theyre doing it to push their product, but theyre also doing it to see where they need to improve.
I'm not sure what you might mean by a "normal human".

I used to be a back-of-the-front-of-the-pack triathlete, with a previous history as an ultramarathon and touring cyclist. In my best shape (probably aged around 46), I was training on a flat loop course with some younger very strong but not professional cyclists where we would generally pull the group at 28mph for about between 20-60 seconds at a time.

I appreciate that there's a distance between that sort of thing and an "average person", but it's not a whole lot larger than the distance between the people who were in the group and, say, professional tour cyclists.
Switch could definitely have used more oomph. Many frame rate drops in the Zelda games. Many emulators claim to have the superior experience with those games.
> this article doesn't even talk about the revenue side at all (Apple TV+ costs $9.99/mo. standalone.)

Apple TV+ isn't the only way to monetize the projects either. One hopes at least some of these will come out on disc, and many of them are likely to show up on other streaming and perhaps even broadcast. Media has a long tail of revenue, although it's often unclear who has rights to that revenue.

Ask HN: Should a risk assessment list all dependent tools?
With the whole Crowdstrike fiasco, I wonder how IT analysts can properly communicate the risks of having a 3rd party service malfunction to leadership.

For example, most of us operate in the AWS space, and are aware of the risk of regional failures. While some choose to accept the risk, some instead have multi-regional deployments.

Should all these (Saas) tools be listed in a risk assessment matrix listing whether the risk can be eliminated/mitigated, or at least transferred? And if we are accepting the risk, what is the impact?
But no salaries -> no consumption -> no profit for companies. I don't see how that's effective capitalism.
A genuinely free alternative to Descript sounds very useful.

It's the opposite. Insurance companies are regulated and the portion of the premium that they can keep as profit is limited. If they want to make more dollars, they have to increase the amount we spend on healthcare which lets them increase premiums. They would rather keep 20% of $10k than 20% of $1k.

If you are actually good at sales then you’ll have no problems getting a technical cofounder.

The imbalance in my experience is that there are more technical cofounders out there than great sales people looking to start a business.

A non-technical cofounder is not just someone with an MBA who has ideas. But those will struggle convincing someone they should give them sweat equity for building product.

Well, I was talking about infrastructure for transporting Hydrogen to the airfield. But wait, there is some low weight safe storage mechanism for high density hydrogen storage in a commercial passenger aircraft?

Oh, not cryogenic that's not just heavy, it's dangerous and bulky which is a real problem for realistic volumes. Not ultra high pressure tanks, since those are relatively bulky, dangerous, and heavy. Certainly not metal hydrides! To achieve the energy density of diesel you need about 4000:1 better than STP (300K 15psi). So at 100K and carbon fiber tanks at 10,000psi you can get about half the density (easy to calculate since H2 is close to ideal). That's dangerous heavy, expensive, and bulky!

Problem is the size and weight of the fuel cells and the cooling/heating you have to do to keep them efficient are comparable to the weight and size of the hydrogen storage. You can't really ramp them up quickly and the difference in peak power vs cruising power is easily 5x and usually you want margin. So you need a lot of fuel cells, but usually also for redundancy batteries for several minutes, in case there's a failure during take off. So you're gonna have batteries anyway. Most of the demos have been with just batteries or only running a single engine off of hydrogen. It's pretty funny.

p.s. I have friends in that very fuel cell plane company.

She's right.

This assumes people just stop doing anything of value if there no longer is a proverbial stick in the form of financial ruin if they stop working.

Nobody is saying that the carrot (personal financial gain) needs to be removed from the equation. Just that everyone is guaranteed some basic level of financial support.

Society already produces enough wealth to cover the expense of UBI. Remember it would replace any other welfare systems in place today.

Personally I think I might take a bit more risk, and choose to do something that I personally believe is of actual value to society rather than please some corporation or VC.

At some level, we would have to accept that if we’re giving people, many of them hackers, access to kernel level facilities, there is a risk involved. If you want no risk, use a walled off OS. If you want a more flexible or permissive kernel architecture, then accept that the burden of securing it is kind of on you after a point.

Put in layman’s terms, I can put that riving knife on your table saw, but there’s still a risk to using it. It’s just a risky tool.
Either someone is stupid enough to make this argument which I don't think is the case (The NT teams are crazy good), or they just want to use this opportunity to divert the blame, which is pathetic at best.

UAC, virtualization, hybrid kernel/user-space shenanigans, all were not in the OS at some point, and research and development, listening to other parties and taking inspiration from other OSes brought these advancements in security.

If Microsoft thinks offering kernel drivers for security (antivirus or otherwise) is a bad thing for the 3rd party companies, then by extension it is bad for any antiviral product they offer and they should absolutely find a new paradigm to securely implement them (eBPF like as some other folks suggested).

But saying "but apple does it !" is not a reasonable demande when your software runs respirators and nuclear facilities. (Apple are still cunts for having everything locked down but that's another conversation)

> Anything that removes the need to pay salaries would have massive impacts on productivity numbers. (I am not arguing that would necessarily be good[1], but it would show up in the economic stats, in line with bglazer's point).

I agree with that. My point was that not all "doom scenarios" require the kind of "quasi-magical abilities" that he tried to use to dismiss them all.

IMHO, the sci-fi "superintelligent AI sends terminators to kill all the people" doom scenarios are distractions (possibly intentional distractions) from far more plausible doom scenarios.

> [1] The big brain take behind "necessarily" is that: "no salaries, everything is free" seems cool, "no salaries, a few people hoard all the wealth" seems bad.

If the former were plausable, we'd almost be there even without AI, so it's either a fantasy or the work we need to get there is not technological. The latter is basically 2024 but moreso.
> Someone who's yearly income is in the 5th percentile is still earning in the 5th percentile.

Isn't this an intended feature of UBI? The idea of UBI is that some level of material support should be guaranteed. It's about bringing "up" the floor, not really re-arranging relative equal and unequal positions. Plenty of people dislike that about it, but it's an intended feature.

That said, this is basically inflationary pressure and we have a lot of tools to deal with inflationary pressure. It is a challenge, but I am always struck by how differently people speak about it in this context v.s. when average incomes rise because the labor market is doing better. On some level, average incomes going up across society is the most normal thing in the world for welfare state capitalism and is one of the challenges we are best-equipped to deal with.

Yeah, I don't understand what people want from Microsoft here. Either they lock it down completely, and we lose control of our Windows systems, which I thought was something people here were against, or they continue to allow kernel-level access, which can be and is pretty damn useful and I wouldn't give it up for the world.

I like my Macbook, but I prefer my Windows desktop so much more because it still largely feels like my system instead of Apple's/Microsoft's.

People. Stop asking Microsoft to lock down Windows.
Yeah, I’m not saying eBPF is perfect but it’s getting better and has a path to making things much safer. I’d compare that to where things were with memory safety 20 years ago where it seemed unlikely that anything could displace C/C++ but by now we’re seeing a lot of important things written in memory safe languages. For a company with Microsoft’s resources, I’d imagine they could do quite a lot if 10% of the CEO’s bonus was instead invested in making their customers safer.
Everyone gets the benefit of doubt, but there is enough evidence that Twitter's definition of "free speech" is just as selective after the takeover as before, it just changed the political direction. There are also enough reports of pretty stuff like disallowing links to competing networks, artificial slowing navigation to Washington Post articles, etc. None of that is very much in the spirit of free speech.
many UC IT people left

UCSF (and I believe other campuses) went all in on shipping IT jobs overseas so job security isn't great. And the pay is… not great. I went looking for examples and was immediately reminded just how poorly organized their job listings are. Cal actually doesn't show anything until you click through to "featured listings" — that doesn't actually show any listings but has a link to the aggregated job listings across all campuses.

A Unix BOFH spot that tops out at under $180k in a HCOL area? It's something I guess.
