One of the most insightful comments being downvoted?
If the rumors about Elon's robots are true, I see a lot of manufacturing coming back to the US.

However, I do not see this benefiting regular workers.
After I posted my comment the title was updated to be a little bit more neutral.

The previous headline was emphasizing a little too strongly the assumption that this attack was against Hezbollah only, and as you mention there are "exceptions", meaning, civilians and non-militants (including children) were killed and injured.

EDIT: in other words, the headline is/was written with the assumption that whoever was attacked was a member of Hezbollah, but this isn't true.
Fedora KDE has been wonderful for me recently. It has had an occasional reboot when coming back from sleep... More inconvenient than critical. KDE is fantastic and intuitive (mostly).

After asking Claude.ai some questions about how fedora networking and packaging works (dnf, networkmanager, etc) I have a pretty good grasp of everything.

Snaps seem like a hindrance to traditional application workflows- that it doesn't have a flow for a user to enable activity outside the snap.

Time to ask Claude a few more questions.
This is a funny comment in a thread about low quality discussion.
I was talking about “pull request”. So is the link I used.
I appreciate your candor, I wish it was more common.
Tariffs and protectionist policies are unfairly maligned. They are effectively the only way countries build and rebuild industries. The idea that they are bad is an invention of bad economists who don't study history. See the book "How Asia Works" for an accurate economic history of the growth of industrial power in Asia, how it was based on Germany's ascension before it, and how it was al built on the RIGHT kind of policies. https://www.gatesnotes.com/How-Asia-Works

Successful Asian powers studied history, not Milton Friedman.

> […] bottom-up programming, where you write programs in multiple layers, the lower ones acting as programming languages for those above

I like to explain this as “hide the bad parts behind a good API”. Anything interesting is going to require “bad parts”, which just means the low-level, difficult work. From there, compose up and up until a high level orchestration is achieved. It works so much better than the bad parts being distributed everywhere! That’s what you’d also call a “leaky abstraction”
From what I've seen most economists have extremely short-sighted thinking. Their theories are almost comically naive.

Yes, economically in the short term (< 50 yrs) putting your eggs in your few specialized industries will give you big economic growth. But, in the long term this is economically extremely risky - because you're relying on remaining competitive in those few, high price, more advanced industries. If that happens to change, you're screwed.

And it CAN change due to geopolitical factors (something economists don't understand). A dictatorship of the future can 100% make more efficient supply lines than you. Even somewhere in-between and you can be screwed - just look at the Chinese automobile industry.

For decades, the automobile industry has been the darling child of the US. This has, and will continue, to no longer be the case. The reality is China subsidizing their industry and providing top-down support means they can make better cars cheaper. The only reason this hasn't completely fucked that portion of our economy is because we don't let them in.

We can't keep outsourcing all our manufacturing while we sit on our asses and rely on our darling child industries to grow.

Take a look at what happened during the global communist revolutions. Those communist countries were scary to us because they have the potential to make more shit and make it cheaper. They can out manufacture us.

Luckily we were not completely braindead (and the tech did not exist) to outsource our manufacturing to them. But if we did, it could have been catastrophic for our economy in the long-term.

> Is there any way I can have the experience of moderated discussion without any risk of me being moderated?

Another answer to this is "Yes, with proper rules and moderation, you can keep your cake and eat it too".

First off, have a rule that every created thread in this forum need to have some sort of "basis for discussion". Any thread that doesn't, gets closed.

Secondly, have a rule that states that any posts in the threads need to be at least somehow related to the topic, and posts that are not nonsense or off-topic.

Thirdly, have a moderation team that is well aligned, and favors quality posts, removing the rest of the shit.

The end result is a forum where you can discuss any topic, as long as your own posts also add to the conversation, not just try to shut others down or post off-topic/nonsense.

Sure, it will contain opinions you disagree with, but it won't be a cesspool of just casual racism.

(These ideas are all based on a real forum online today where essentially any topic can be discussed without fear of facing real-life consequence for the opinions you hold, assuming your anonymous)
Their death is tragic, but such is war unfortunately... Lebanon is participating in this one whether they like to or not.

edit: see reply, cobb got hit for gas tuners, not diesel, and cobb tuners are 1:1 per car

81k tuners which can each flash any number of trucks, and a full emissions delete on a diesel pickup emits ~300x the pollution of an unmodified vehicle. Further, those 750k trucks are providing astronomically more utility relative to their pollution than diesel drivers are getting out of their +XX HP or +X MPG.
EoL devices are a huge liability. We need laws that require vendors to equip smart devices with remote hardkill switches, so they can be permanently disabled by the vendor when they reach EoL. A disabled smart device is better than one that can be weaponized by threat actors.
>Humans losing their ability to detect AI content from reality ? It's frightening.

And it already happened, and no one pushed back while it was happening.
If that's true, then does that make electric vehicles into potential car bombs if "the right thing" is injected into the battery?
Interesting that they chose to carry out this attack in two waves - presumably the thinking was that Hezbollah would assume only the pagers were compromised (single source/shipment) and thus increase their use of other communication devices. I suspect some did the opposite as well though (stopped carrying/using any devices).
I think that text on the internet will tainted by AI the same way that steel has being tainted by nuclear devices.
I can agree that good enough is not tied to cost and that is likely unfortunate for the patient. It is instead tied to profit, for the company. If increasing the standard of care leads to more profit a rational company will do that. If it means lowering then they will do that. Unfortunately there aren't many actual direct ties between patient outcome and profit and often when they do exist they are negative for the patient. The classic example of this is the question of is it more profitable to cure or to manage a disease? I'd love it if whole life outcome was actually tied to profit in a way that was beneficial to the patient. That would mean a free market driven by the patient as the consumer could exist. But healthcare systems, especially in the US, generally aren't structured that way.

So, to answer your question about 'why do we get improved, costlier insulin if the old thing was good enough' it is because the healthcare system will make more money on it. If they take a % then they are incentivized to use a more expensive version and they can justify it with the word 'better' even if the person is actually worse off as their financial situation deteriorates and they and their families are forced to cut quality of life everywhere else. They put their line for good enough at the point that makes the most value for them, not the point that is best for the patient.
If a bomb blew up next to me in a grocery store, even if I wasn't injured, I'd consider myself "targeted" and that the people who exploded it were my enemy. Imagine that actually happening while you were at Safeway.
The death toll from Wednesday’s walkie-talkie explosions has risen to nine, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.

More than 300 people were injured.

The renewed attack comes just a day after a coordinated explosion of pagers killed 12 in Lebanon and left more than 2,800 people injured. Al Jazeera showed a flat owned by first responders staff with the extensive damage in aftermath of the explosion from a device

In the UK after a number of scandals of this type, these kinds of "defined benefit" pensions are now backstopped by a government agency (paid for by a levy on all pensions): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pensions_Regulator (edit: actually it's the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pension_Protection_Fund which does the backstop but the two bodies are related)

There is a conflict of interest here, but regular employees aren't able to evaluate that.

The worst is for angel investors in Spain...

You invest in 10 companies; each has another round and you pay wealth taxes on the valuation of that investment every single year, even as 9 of them crash you get no deduction, you just pay taxes on the valuation. It is such a broken system which is a pity as the Spanish people are amazing!
MIPS is a load-store architecture and has branch delay slots, both of which make it complicated to learn for beginners. If you want to learn an obsolete ISA with no commercial relevance because it's simpler, I would recommend 68000 or 6502 instead.

Show HN: Selectric – macOS Search for Gmail, Outlook, Drive, Slack
I got frustrated with Outlook, Gmail and Google drive search never being able to find anything in my Inbox or Cloud storage and decided to build a personal email and document search that works better.

Selectric is a free MacOS app and currently supports Gmail, Outlook, Drive, Dropbox and Slack. The app is completely private. We index and store all data on your Mac. We also run AI models locally so no data ever needs to leave your computer.

I'd love for the HN community to try us out and share feedback!
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to clarify the pricing table a bit better. And yes, this is targeting creators more. If it turns out that viewers are the better target market, I might pivot it a bit. And I'm considering adding a discount for longer videos.
The takeout boxes are shit though so you are better off repackaging. A lot of people just use glass now. You can store curry in it without permanently staining your plastic tupperware with turmeric.
The article makes clear that a 50% reduction is likely massively optimistic.

> Do you think the IDF considered whether civilians would be harmed, or have a good possibility of being harmed?

Presumably that would be why they didn't use bigger explosives. Or -- taking a step back -- why they used this tactic rather than dropping bombs from the air.

I am sorry if you are finding our pricing page confusing. We had a recent update to that page and we had a glitch for prices for the GPUs. Anyway, the correct price for a 8 x L40S is $4752/mo when paid a year upfront.
And you would imagine that quality of life would be better if the U.S. found itself on the losing side of a major war? Your premise that there seems to be hopelessness is more of a media driven phenomenon than reality. There is just no evidence that "the future is trending downward" - at least in the U.S. Every measure you look at shows that for Americans life has improved and continues to - especially in comparison with our global contemporaries.

This is how all intellectual work proceeds. Most of the stuff you write is crap. After many iterations you produce one that is good enough for others. Should we take away the typewriter from the novel writers too, along with Jupyter notebooks from scientists, because most typed pages are crap?
In 2013, Marissa Mayer banned remote work at Yahoo and this cascaded to other big tech companies (like Intel, where I was at the time). RTO is not new unfortunately, it's been going on for decades.
The association of PTFE with PFAS makes perfect sense. Part of the manufacturing process of Teflon (brand name PTFE) involves (involved?) GenX, which is reactive and was being dumped our drinking water supply.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene The commonly known brand name of PTFE-based composition is Teflon by Chemours, a spin-off from DuPont, which originally discovered the compound in 1938.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GenX GenX chemicals are used as replacements for PFOA for manufacturing fluoropolymers such as Teflon

In June of 2017, The Wilmington Star-News broke the story that GenX was found in the Cape Fear River – the drinking water supply for 500,000 people.

You'd think that. Here in America, the NSA has been intercepting and bugging servers for decades, and manufacturers have been suspiciously quiet about the whole affair.

Suffice to say, when enough pressure can be exerted by a government agency, OEMs are happy to keep their mouth shut.
This is interesting. You seem to provide extra functionality besides the typescript types over libpg-query, like the walk function, right? I assume that's the reason these changes can't be easily merged into the main library and you chose to fork entirely.

As an aside, do you think it's possible to use your libraries to get the return type of an arbitrary postgres query, even if it's dynamic? I have a library that requires users to write the return type of queries manually always, and I'd like to automate that step.
Once again: watch any of the videos. The vast majority of them involve anyone standing around the operative walking away just fine. This was a targeted attack.

Some civilians got hurt, but the intent was not to harm them, and that is the point.
Independent estimates peg Hezbollah membership in Lebanon to a wide range, 20k to 50k. Reporting says the pager shipment was 5000 units and so far ~3000 known targets. Figure some devices broke, hadn't been activated yet, didn't trigger correctly, etc. Figure not every member needed or had a pager, call it 50% to be safe but it might be reasonable to think only the equivalent of a team leader would have one. Either way this is a significant fraction of their contact capabilities.
> Across the board thresholds is exactly what we usually have. I'm not so sure about the false positives being so high

The article would have been stronger with those numbers. But I wouldn’t be convinced that a high WBC count for an average ER visitor would have been sensitive enough to trigger an alarm. The prior knowledge that it’s a cat bite is important.

The existing conventions do not prohibit attacking militants while they are in the middle of civilians, even if they are not doing that as part of some hostage/human shield operation. It may be considered morally not ok, but doing so does not violate any obligation.
From the BBC [1].

BBC Verify has accessed BAC’s company records, which reveal it was first incorporated in 2022 and has a single shareholder. It is registered to a building in Budapest's 14th district.

As well as BAC, a further 13 companies and one person are registered at the same building.

However, our search of a financial information database does not reveal that BAC has any connections to other companies or people.

The same database shows no trading information about BAC. For example, there are no records of any shipments between it and any other firms.

However, BAC's website, which is now inaccessible, previously said it was scaling up its business in Asia, and had a goal to "develop international technology co-operation among countries for the sale of telecommunication products".

The website listed one person as BAC’s chief executive and founder - Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono - and does not appear to mention other employees.

When will these money hungry vultures realize that you cannot transition a foss "brand" into a proprietary system no matter how you pitch the tree tier? You can't have your name recognition and eat it too. These groups don't realize that "NewThing from the developers of Redis" holds so much more weight than "Redis is now closed source and you have to pay for it"? There is a net negative value in detonating the bomb that is a license change versus making something new and throwing the existing name's support behind it. Just look at literally every well known license changed software becoming irrelevant while the foss fork with a new name has no problem getting traction? Just look at the graveyard of Solaris, OpenOffice and others. The open source community deeply despises these relicensing scams and has proven time and time again not to fall for ignorant consumer brand identity marketing tactics?

I, for instance, learned years ago to refuse to help people debug promise chains in languages with async-await semantics. Rewrite it and then get back to me if it still doesn’t work. They usually transcribe the intent of the chain and not the letter of it, fixing the bug they can’t see. And if not the error makes enough sense they can figure it out.
