I wouldn't say that currently there's a conflict between Israel and Lebanon, but Hezbollah is in Lebanon and has a lot of power there. They've been launching rockets at Israel and Israel has been killing their higher ups and targetting their ammo.

Depending on how you look at this, you can even call it a proxy war as Hezbollah is supported by Iran. Curiously (or not), one of those injured by the pagers blowing up was the Iranian ambassador... https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/irans-ambassador-l...
But all of the example stories are far deeper than “wrappers”. They do have a moat, and use OpenAI (or x model) as a commodity like AWS or Google Cloud. They’re mixing models with their proprietary data and leveraging techniques that are hard to copy (either due to cost, time, or traditional network effects).

If you’re bootstrapping a company to make personal money - buy ads and be a wrapper. If you want VCs, companies, and consumers to buy in long-term - you still need depth. Even in the world of AI, that comes from owning data + network effects, not just an AI interface.
Even if you fix all the zoning and land supply problems, you still need to qualify this as building the right kind of housing. Building more large, expensive homes that are gobbled up by investors or people 'parking' money isn't going to help people that need cheap dwellings to actually live in.

I'm not saying you're not aware of this or that your statement doesn't include the possibility, but (housing) developers will follow the money, and that doesn't mean making small affordable homes when the profit margins on other types of dwelling are higher.

> I think people don't really understand what an enormous sleeping dragon the entire thing is.

Isn't that what I said? Mostly we're debating semantics. My deeper point is that it's counterproductive and borderline misanthropic to argue "People just don't care about evil being done!" whereas the argument that "People seriously have no idea yet what they're 'agreeing' to" opens the door to actual solutions, for one inclined to work on them.

> As the war debt was never repaid

The war debt was, in fact, repaid.
So, as a soon to be new grad with tens of thousands in debt, limited real-world experience (~1yr), zero sales skills, no health insurance and no savings/safety net, what am I supposed to do? How do I even start in "the business of making" suffocating in debt and getting evicted within a few months? I'd love to go solo. Due to some health problems, early morning shifts (9-5, 8-4) are almost totally unfeasible for me, so even in a good job market my options in traditional work are more limited. But I just don't have the money to bootstrap a business, much less learn sales skills and everything else while my student loan repayment grace period runs out.

Because my experience is exclusively limited to software dev, I'm also getting rejected from positions in retail, and if I try to "dumb down" my resume, I'll have nothing but a blank page.

Seriously, any advice would be appreciated. I feel stuck.

They might not be listening to AM radio all the time, but it's often used as an emergency broadcast frequency in Australia, and not for apocalyptic reasons though it could be.

AM travels a lot further than FM, all other things being equal, and the local frequency is signposted on road signs around the country.

The big three typical emergency broadcasts down under include wildfire (which have, and do kill motorists caught in them), flood, and cyclone.

The problem with 'narrowcast' mediums like mobile phones (inc. SMS), and landline phones, is that mass emergency alerts can overload those networks which can delay the message getting out, and it takes time to contact each endpoint in the alert area. The message they get is also likely to be short.

AM broadcast is immensely useful for non-overloadable continual updates on an emergency (or several emergencies at once). Though like narrowcast mediums, broadcast mediums also have disadvantages.

AM is used as part of a wider solution. Sometimes the only way to get an alert to people is via AM radio. It's much easier to mandate AM radio in vehicles, and never need it, than to allow manufacturers to drop it because 'reasons' and then discover we suddenly can't warn some members of the community because they relied on AM broadcasting (even if they didn't know it at the time).

Yeah, the tradeoff there is interesting. Sometimes "get it as deterministic as possible" is the right answer, even if it's slower.

> Most of the strangeness in real time coding is actually about doing control theory stuff is my take. The program often feels like state-machine going in a circle.

Lol, with my colleagues/juniors I'll often encourage them to take code that doesn't look like that and figure out if there's a sane way to turn it into "state-machine going in a circle". For problems that fit that mold, being able to say "event X in state Y will have effect Z" is really powerful for being able to reason about the system. Plus, sometimes, you can actually use that state machine to more formally reason about it or even informally just draw out the states, events, and transitions and identify if there's anywhere you might get stuck.
I think this is essentially the same reasoning that Sussman et al give for using a computer to explain classical mechanics in their famous textbook (see [0]). By insisting that the student compute with the concepts, they assert that they will get a deeper understanding than if they just read a bunch of formulas. Hard to argue with that, to my mind, although the choice of Scheme as the language is a bit of a mind bender for newbies.

The same set of authors has brought us at least two prior attempts ("proximal origin", "multiple zoonotic origins") to reject the possibility that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic arose due to a research accident. All have been covered credulously in the popular media, contributing to the false consensus that e.g. caused Facebook to delete opposing arguments. This false consensus has now broken to some extent, but apparently not yet among high-impact journals.

As for prior attempts, their result is grossly overstated. Biosafety Now has published a detailed call for its retraction:

https://biosafetynow.substack.com/p/crits-christoph-et-al-20...

I don't think the details are really necessary, though. Approximately zero cases outside China were traced to their introductions, despite the forewarning, and despite the restricted set of options (an airport or seaport). This isn't for lack of trying--it's just really hard to do that from epidemiological data that's necessarily scarce and biased, especially for a virus whose frequently mild symptoms mean most cases never get ascertained.

So why would anyone believe they'd succeeded at the much more difficult task of tracing that very first introduction? The usual answer seems to be "because the paper was full of math that I didn't understand, and I trusted the authors"--but that's a pretty bad reason, especially when the authors are funded by and coordinated closely with the agency that advocated for (and funded!) the high-risk research in question.
Any possibility you’d add support for a Mac Mini deployment? I think the extra complexity would be from changing the Docker images, but of course the devil is in the details. I just have a Mac Mini and it would be great to self-host some stuff.

that’s pretty much how windows update works (or used to work) to attempt to hot patch certain things without a reboot. Compiled functions in windows DLLs have a 5 byte prologue of nop instructions which is just long enough to overwrite with a jmp instruction to hook the function call and redirect it. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20110921-00/?p=95... In WinXP they started compiling this nop prologue in on purpose due to how useful it was. Before that, reverse engineers would need to get a bit lucky and find “room” for a jmp in some code path that was guaranteed to hit, in order to patch an executable without crashing it (iirc, i’m fuzzy on the details). Anyway, certainly not impossible, and we’d al be surprised by what can be made practical if the need is great enough.

It's been demonstrated over and over again that building high end housing does have an impact on the prices of lower end stuff.

It is of course likely to have a greater impact to build lower cost stuff, but blocking a development because you don't like the sort of houses they want to build is more or less stupid (it's not like a developer is going to do a project there is no demand for, and that demand is probably already looking elsewhere near the proposed development...).

But do you think they're taking a measured inventory of the possible consequences, both personal and societal, and saying, "No, I don't value that" ?

Extremely few decisions that people make are deeply calculated with cold logic. Most decisions are primarily unconscious, automatic, and emotional.

Example: A persons hears it's good to have a webcam cover, so they get one. Nobody mentions doing it for their phone, so they never even think about it. Then someday a friend does mention it, but that would be an inconvenient change, so the person's gut puts up resistance against considering it too strongly. They give in to their emotional response, instead of doing the hard work of changing their emotions based on the knowledge they have.

At no point in the above scenario would the person state "I don't think mass surveillance is a bad thing." For me, that's why I mean when I say people "aren't ok with it."

If one's definition of people being "ok with mass surveillance" just means they tolerate it, that they don't sufficiently resist it (and what level of resistance is sufficient? For a person with a webcam cover but no phone cam cover? Does adding a phone cam cover mean they've declared their opposition to mass surveillance?), then how can you say people aren't okay with literally everything evil or wrong? Most people just won't summon enough activation energy to fight any given injustice around them, no matter how egregious it is. That's not a reflection of their morals and values, it's a reflection of how fucking tired we all are.

I would challenge you to offer up in detail how strongly you have worked to resist mass surveillance in your life. You're logged in and posting on HN, so my guess is, you haven't worked hard enough at it according to someone's metric. Do you have a cover on your phone camera? Just the front one or both? Do you have a cover on the microphones? Do you let others add your number in their contacts or do you refuse to ever give out your real phone number?

There is, however, in any market a small number of big players, all politically connected, who will conspire against newcomers building new units. A couple years ago stories about that "historic laundromat" in SF were making the rounds, that is very typical.
The market will dictate lower prices if there's excess inventory. If landlords are hoarding units and keeping them empty instead of lowering rental prices, that indicates a lack of available inventory.
That's specious reasoning. I have a rock that keeps tiger away. How does it work? It doesn't, it's just a stupid rock. But I don't see any tigers around here, do you?
Yeah, I completely agree with you. I might be a bit "scarred" by my previous team. We were working on CMS websites for a fairly large number of different clients. Every task was estimated by the hour, and if we went over that estimate it usually meant we were working for free. I mean I still got paid but my company didn't. It didn't help that all the solutions were either developed by Juniors or inherited from other departments/companies. Literally every moderately popular frontend tech was represented. React, Vue, AngularJS, jquery, nextjs, svelte, and more. Let's just.make our lives as difficult as possible eh, what should we use next? The back ends were all the same CMS luckily, but of course some genius had to go and add Sanity to the mix to pad their resume.

So I frequently had to learn a new js framework while dealing with shitty, unreviewed and untested code that barely worked or just kind of seemed to work, while under time pressure.

In that environment, my disdain for bad code really just didn't work out. Though I feel like I was a bit unfairly treated at times as well.

There was this one app that had an integration against a third party API. They had used a library to interact with the API, this library was purchased for a fairly significant amount of money from some university and it was complete garbage. All it did was get data twice a day and store it in a db, then the CMS had a daily scheduled job that would get the data from that db and build the content in the actual CMS db. It was like 30k loc, a lot of which was dead and the rest of it was shitty and redundant manual xml parsing and completely unnecessary db interaction. Not to mention the (probably minor) cost of running this pointless db.

So there's a problem with it and I spend days bughunting, I can't figure out what's wrong. I try telling the team that I think I can build a better solution from scratch faster than I can fix this bug. No bueno. So over the weekend, on my own time, (really just a few hours) I throw together a quick POC. I don't need the intermediate DB, the CMS can just get the data from the API once a day during the scheduled job. So 90% of the work is just making DTOs to deserialize the xml into, using whatever xml serialization library i found.

I finish it, hook it up, it's not totally done but it pretty much works already. On Monday I tell the team what I've done and just get completely shut down. They don't even want to see it, just nope.

So that code is gone and they're still maintaining that piece of shit library for no reason. Oh well, luckily it's not my problem any more.

Sorry about the rant, and thanks for the support. It's nice to know I'm not alone in seeing the value of quality.

> Building more large, expensive homes that are gobbled up by investors or people 'parking' money isn't going to help people that need cheap dwellings to actually live in.

Investors that gobbled up properties are renting them to renters (assuming it isn't on airbnb) to pay their holding costs (mortgage, tax, maintenance), since they are by definition investors. They actually increase the pool of property for renters, keeping rent price lower, which fights rental inflation. This does drive up purchase price for the home itself, but that's a separate topic.

Same with people parking money, why would they be leaving the homes empty when they could rent it out for additional cash flow?
