Sorry, networking isn't my specialization, and I never read a book on those topics. (I know vaguely what they are and a little about how they work, but not enough to reimplement any of them on my own.) But many of those projects are open-source, so you can see the discussions (and code) about how they were built.

IMHO: I think maybe you're overthinking this a bit though...? If your end goal is just to have a place where people discuss primarily (or exclusively) over text, then all you really need is a web app that enforces that, like HN does. You can probably find some HN clone or reddit clone software and just use that, or Discourse (the forum, not Discord the chat app), and remove any multimedia functionality they might have. Or host your own IRC or Usenet server and don't allow images.

I don't think this is really a technical issue to solve, but a cultural one. Such places aren't common/popular because "I never want to see an image" isn't a big priority to most people. It'll be hard to get traction on such a forum, no matter how you build it under the hood.

They are not the same because without available shares to short its very easy to recognize there is stuff overpriced in the market and the open market can’t do anything about it because the sellers are limited and they control the ask.

This is absolutely not true of a price that’s “too low”. Anyone, including you, can go hit those asking prices and start to load up. There is also capped downsize risk (as opposed to uncontrolled risk in a short).

This is all to say that it’s possible that company could be worth $9-10/share, but based on all of the information publicly available today, there are effectively tens of thousands of people each swinging billions in capital than are parking it in stuff providing 5% return rather than the 20000% you suggest is there.

So this tells me that you are just much more hopeful for the future of the company than the current financial projections and prospects support.
Wow there is so much vitriol both in this post and in the comments here. I understand that there are many ethical and practical problems with generative AI, but when did we stop being hopeful and start seeing the darkest side of everything? Is it just that the average HN reader is now past the age where a new technological development is an exciting opportunity and on to the age where it is a threat? Remember, the Luddites were not opposed to looms, they just wanted to own them.

Wow. Just, wow!.

They run a tank over the mother until assassinate her in front of their four children? Really?

I'm speechless. This is an absolutely hideous act
The “End of history” was just a euphemism for western comfort and insulation from the rest of the world. A number of comments here can demonstrate that. There’s simply not enough proximity to death and destruction for these people to feel like it’s anything more than entertainment or an interesting topic of discussion.

The end of history will be over when we all recognize that this could just as easily be an operation against the Cartel or the Boogaloo Boys or whoever the fuck, with Feds blowing up pagers in a Whole Foods in LA instead of a market in Lebanon. Oh, but that could never happen here.

From a business perspective, they seem to have done pretty well in that regard. Basically surfing from one bubble to the next. I seem to recall during the dot-com boom, somehow their share price was never hugely affected.

It probably helps that NVIDIA is underpinned by technical competence and their products have some basic utility outside of the bubble we are currently in.

It doesn’t look very surgical to me given the civilian casualties and general disregard of what can happen to innocent people. If anything this looks more like a state-sponsored terrorist attack than covert ops with collateral damage.
The claim isn't that they're "civilian devices", it's that they're "devices all over civilian society". That's relevant because bobby trapping them is liable to cause casualties.
Agree. If one device was booby-trapped the first thing I would be doing is disassembling all my others devices for the same.

The first best thing for vulnerabilities is fixing them, the second best is knowing they exist and what they specifically are (so one can either try to mitigate them or make an informed choice on replacing equipment).

Depending on the era, clay pots often had led glazing, which could leach out into acidic foods/beverages.

Generally glass is going to be fine, as long as it’s not painted/coated on the surface that touches the food or your lips. That said, the cap is almost certainly plastic/plastic coated.

Plastics are all suspect IMO, particularly in hot liquid applications (looking at you, Pho delivery).

Aluminum seems like it would be fine, but the cans all use internal rust inhibiting coatings (which vary from beverage to beverage) that are also suspect.

Parchment paper is fine, butcher paper is coated, as you point out.

Oh, and your drinking water is probably full of microplastics.

Personally, I use glass storage for leftovers, reverse osmosis filter for drinking water, only buy liquids packaged in glass, and try to buy whole ingredients/cook my own food. But I still sometimes enjoy a can of beer or a take out meal. I figure if there is a hazard, it’s dose dependent, and I just try to be a little thoughtful about where I’m picking up exposure.
I assume the 285K will be able run these at their full 9600?
I would have said this a year ago but R is a language for statisticians and not software engineers. It took me forever to understand this.

Statistical Rethinking by McElreath is really what finally got me to see the value of R.

You can find the python versions of the class and they are certainly not better.

A full application in R really makes absolutely no sense.

Maybe he should then read a book on garbage collectors that all start with ref counting..

Also, is it “pause execution and clean up” together? As ref counting obviously has to clean up, that’s the whole point - and it actually does so by blocking the mutator thread (the actual program written by the user). Then we didn’t even get to the point where syncing counters across threads are possibly the slowest primitive operation a CPU can do, so if we can’t know that an object will only ever be accessed from a single thread, ref counting has plenty shortcomings. Oh also, nulling the counter in case of a big object graph will pause execution for considerable amount of time (particularly noticeable in case of a c++ program exiting which uses a bunch of shared ptrs)
Says who? Pagers are used by doctors and icom are used by pretty much anyone who needs that communication, like construction workers in a site or first responders.
I think they (doctors here) have other concerns more about regulation / paperwork and overhead that comes with it, less than total compensation. Family doctors anyways.

That and the schools simply won't graduate enough of them. Doctor shortage is a serious problem. But so is nurse shortage post-COVID.

System here seems to be in crisis. Combination of many factors.

But all my experiences in the last few years have been... very positive? Excellent recent care for my teen at McMaster Children's Hospital. Family doctor 5 minute drive away, can get appointments quite quickly. So, yeah, it's regional and situation dependent.

The bus clock and memory clock are the same.
Agreed. Stuxnet was "surgical". Causing hundreds of explosions in proximity of civilians is not.

Nice, it even has Muad'Dib (the desert mouse from the “Dune” movies) as its mascot. The question “but does it have Muad'Dib?!” was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title.
If the device is explicitly past EOL what is the point anyways? Just to wait 60 days and hear they aren't going to do anything?
I imagine there has to be hundreds of unexploded devices in Lebanon. I would expect to see some of those surface over the next few weeks, or someone get stopped at an airport with one
8 senior Hezbollah officers are dead. So far the only clear indication of a non-Hezbollah injury is from a Hezbollah officers daughter.

Sounds successful and well targeted.

I think the variety of consumer electronics is too large to be limited to only a few large manufacturers.
Wrong on all three:

1) The victims of yesterday's attack were overwhelmingly terrorist soldiers and mid-level management which fits the definition of surgical. If the results of this operation are as good as suggested by all the early reports, they just carved a major hole in the upper ranks of the organization (not even including the major damage they've caused over the last six months with surgical strikes on leaders).

2) We don't have confirmation that's it's them (but it likely is), and we know far more than that: we know that it incapacitated thousands of members of a designated terrorist organization with minimal impact outside of them.

3) Well, that's just your opinion, man.
> This is going to create a lot of distrust in the international supply chain.

Is it? If your threat model includes Mossad (or really any nation state) then you shouldn't have trusted those devices in the first place. Even if you didn't have "tiny explosives" on your bingo card, certainly bugs (hardware or software) should've been on there.

Given that those pagers are commonly used by doctors and none of them have been reported to explode, I think we can guess that it was targeted to the batches delivered directly to Hezbollah.
It's about the barrier to entry and amount of effort to exploit something. When public information comes out about a vulnerability that can't be patched in a reasonable amount of time (due to EOL or some other reason), the bad actors have the upper hand.

Giving ransomware actors free bugs for mass exploitation when they are unlikely to be patched is just putting innocent users in harms way. It doesn't really make a dent in the shit vendors' profits, so the only other motives are 1) to show off your cool research or 2) protest ridiculous EOL deadlines (which sure, might make a difference).

Without splashy narrative and quantifiable risk the vendors won't change and the general public won't perceive the danger of unsupported devices. Public bounties are one way to change both so this seems like a reasonable project with net benefit.

Eh this is bending the word "produced". In 1960 all the parts were made in the US likely from raw materials mined & refined in the US. That's very different from today.

> To be more clear, I meant that it was typical for foreign governments to impose retaliative tariffs.

And in the context of massive trade deficits, so what? IIRC, when the Trump tariffs went into effect, there was a lot written that the Chinese didn't have many levers to pull to respond, because of the US trade deficit. I think they implemented a tariff against soybeans (and some other non-tariff actions), and that was about it.

> To say nothing of who actually pays the cost of tarrifs.[0][1]

Who cares who technically pays, especially when they're correcting for some other market distortion? Focusing on that is a hallmark of libertarian anti-tariff propaganda that's pretty monomaniacally focused on free trade dogma and prices to the exclusion of all other considerations.
Show HN: EzPromote – AI finds relevant social media discussions
I built EzPromote to solve a problem I faced as a SaaS founder: finding relevant online conversations to organically promote products without spamming.

Key features:

Scans Reddit, LinkedIn, and Twitter using NLP to identify product-relevant discussions
Employs AI (Claude) to score conversation relevance and draft context-aware responses
Built entirely with no-code tools (Bubble)

Technical challenges:

Implementing efficient multi-platform data scraping within Bubble's constraints
Fine-tuning Claude AI to understand SaaS-specific contexts and generate appropriate responses
Balancing automation with maintaining authentic engagement

I'm particularly interested in the HN community's thoughts on:

Ethical considerations of AI-assisted social media engagement
Potential improvements to the NLP/AI model for better context understanding
Scalability challenges of no-code solutions for data-intensive applications

Happy to answer any questions about the implementation or discuss the broader implications of AI in marketing automation.
The definition is truly not a thing that matters. It's the "verticalicity" and "horizontalicity" of the business. Alphabet is very horizontal because they have erm.. Robots.. Internet search.. erm.. Internet services.. mobiles, cars, ... and much more.

So, what should they even write as self-description?

While vertical parts like Google and everything that has to do with it can be described easily, with horizontal parts it's more difficult.

May be that's a reason why each of the big companies have a generic self-description? It's not feasible to describe each of the vertical parts when one is broad in the horizontal, too. And big companies are mostly broad in the horizontal, too..
Yes. Explosives can be placed in any device that has a small cavity. This has always been true....
This feels very much like a Yahoo Inc move.
True, probably the NSA wanted to smear the Chinese when in fact they are the ones implanting bugs in hardware.
I have updated my comment with "/s" as that is closer to what I've meant. However, seriously, from ethical point of view it is unlikely illustrators were asked or compensated for their work being used for training AI to produce the image.
The vulnerabilities might still exist in current products even if discovered in an EOL product.
Etherpad is awesome, we use it all the time.
Except not in NATO, Five Eyes, or even a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. In real terms, they're definitely among the more problematic allies. Compared with Germany, UK, France, Australia, Canada, etc.
> NTSC managed with 6mhz channels!

Not only did it manage, it looked fantastic, at least at the source. Back in the 80s I had a chance work with high-end analog video gear at a broadcast production studio. You wouldn't believe the detail and color fidelity of a full 6 Mhz composite video signal coming straight out of a broadcast studio camera through a Grass Valley video switcher to a studio reference monitor. It had a lot of the subjective character audiophiles use to describe tube amplifiers like: depth, warmth, etc. After being recorded on a 2-inch broadcast quad tape machine (the size of a dishwasher!), the playback looked identical to my eyes.

Of course, by the time these pristine images lost several generations through editing and dubbing, were sent through RF distribution, up a transmitter, down an antenna and through 75 ohm coax house cable, they could look decidedly less amazing. :-)

In the 90s, analog component video looked even more impressive still and we could record and dub it digitally on D1 digital VTRs with no generational loss (and no compression!). Since so much of the analog standard definition TV historical footage we see today was recorded post-edit & dubbing and then captured on VHS or 3/4-inch U-Matic tape air checks, it doesn't reflect the remarkable quality we had back then. And worse, much of what we see today of analog video is also not properly de-interlaced during digital conversion and then is further degraded through over-compression for streaming or broadcast. The worst of all worlds...

To your point, the quality we had back then makes the peggish mess created by today's over-compression all the more egregious. I have a high-end 4K HDR10 home theater with top notch components all properly interfaced, calibrated and tested - and yet, outside of 4K Ultra HD discs, much of what I see on OTA broadcast, cable, satellite and streaming looks pretty awful.

Those radios do decode some digital messages, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squelch#DCS for managing group convos (squelching others on the same channel who aren't part of the same group). There's also ANI identifiers and repeater codes, for example. So there's definitely firmware/software to work with SOME digital stuff onboard.

But I also think a lot of radios look like Baofengs, or are whitelabeled Baofengs, so who knows...

Besides, if Israel or whoever can modify the supply chain, they can add whatever receivers/chips they want into it alongside the explosives. Or just some sort of analog radio detonator/trigger.
Isn't that just what happens when you keep pushing the Overton Window to the right? What would have been 'centrists' have to become more authoritarian to stand ground or else they let their position get absorbed by the stronger leaning side. When one side refuses to compromise even slightly, you have two options: give in or dig in.
while blowing up a one-way comm device might make sense to intel agencies and countries, I am curious about the decision to blow up hand-helds instead of listening in on them undetected.
I think the results of these that people or even businesses let alone governments will double check anything that was manufactured by their allies, will probably boost the Chinese and Korean markets in the future.
The self-balancing mechanism of markets requires "skin in the game", which is to say, there must be incentive for individual actors to make wise decisions backed by the risk of loss. However, as wealth accumulates, the marginal value of a dollar decreases. Beyond a certain point of wealth accumulation, losing money is no longer a punishment, which means wise decisions are no longer systematically incentivized. This gives individual actors unilateral power to keep markets irrational for longer than wise actors can remain solvent, creating market failure.
