> Israel was massively radicalized by October 7th

Israel had been locking Gaza in a total blockade for 17 years (with talk of "keeping them on a diet"), plus had bombed Gaza multiple times resulting in more than 5000 deaths (= 5 October 7ths- they called this "mowing the lawn". During these bombing campaigns we have pictures of Israelis enjoying the show from afar from observation points with food and drinks).

In the meanwhile they enforced an apartheid regime in the West Bank, building new settlements for hundreds of thousands of residents, and launching pogroms to drive away the Palestinian population.

So no, it wasn't Oct 7th that radicalised them.
Yes. It's a subtle point that a lot of people have trouble with. I'm confident about what I'm saying, for a variety of reasons.

"Show HN" is a category that happens to optimize for people doing open source software, but the top posts on the site generally aren't "Show HN"'s, and "open source" is absolutely not a rule of "Show HN".

> That's 12 years of safety engineering improvements that aren't there.

The last 12 years mostly replaced attention-preserving tactile controls with attention-demanding screens.

Coexisting with that decreased ability is a race-to-the bottom where new vehicles kill visibility for everyone else (headlights blind ahead; oversizing erases visibility of every car around).

I have never felt less safe on the road.

And for the privilege, everyone's insurance rates climb and climb and climb - unreasonably punishing people who don't drive super-expensive-to-repair vehicles.

If you want errors to behave more like value types, you can also implement `Is`. For example, you could have your `ErrType`'s `Is` implementation return true if the other error `As` an `ErrType` also has the same code.
> Pretentious is reducing the work of one of the most highly acclaimed film makers of our time to “weird for the sake of weird” and “lol an AI could make that”.

No, that isn't pretentious, that's just an opinion you personally find offensive.

Nothing you've said in an attempt to refute what I've said contradicts anything I've said. You just don't like the way I've summed it up.

> Really insightful criticism.

I mean, I've been elaborating, although it's been hard to have a fun discussion since in my opinion you've been combative from the start.

> Pretentious is suggesting his work has no substance, when a poll by BBC Culture of 177 film critics from 36 countries named Mulholland Drive the best film of the 21st century.

I didn't say his films had no substance, first of all, no where can you quote me saying anything like that. I do find them fairly superficial with the surrealism doing a lot of the heavy lifting with peopel interpreting a lot and giving more credit than is due, but that's hardly the same thing now, is it?

Besides, I bet a lot of films on that list don't have a lot of substance and are just fun, and there's nothing wrong with that.

> There are plenty of directors whose works that I don’t personally appreciate but I would never be so arrogant to suggest an AI could reproduce them.

Because you find the notion offensive, fine. I think AI could replicate even directors I do like and find to have a lot of depth, though. I think ultimately everything can be reduced to data and patterns and heuristics and an AI will be able to mimic styles frighteningly well.

> How many Palme D’ors and academy awards do you have.

I did the same for tinycc here https://github.com/mingodad/tinycc and used Netbeans IDE that has great refactoring options for C/C++/Java.

Benchmarking the reentrant result showed it to be around 5% slower.

Now I'm trying to redo it again but this time scripting the refactoring using sparse https://github.com/lucvoo/sparse to parse and using it's error messages with with line/column to guide the refactoring, I already got an initial script that performs some initial transformations and is repeatable, but more work need to be done, mainly enhance/extend the info that sparse provide while parsing the code.

I think there is some natural inclination towards abstract thinking versus more grounded in reality, just judging based on kids I know. Some of them really enjoy playing with ideas in their heads, some enjoy playing with things they can touch more. It seems likely that those different attractions would express themselves in how much they practice different things as time goes on.

When you declare a `static char *p;', how do you even know in which address of memory it is going to end up ?? How do you know what will happen if another compilation unit declares another variable of the same name? Another static library? Another dynamic library? What about initialization, what about other constructors that may read memory before main() runs? What about injected threads that are started before that? Madness, I tell you, absolute and utter madness.

This is how our rack works (Oxide employee). In each power shelf, there are 6 power supplies and only 5 need to be functional to run at full load. If you want even more redundancy, you can use both power shelves with independent power feeds to each so even if you lose a feed, the rack still has 5+1 redundant power supplies.

It takes until 85+ years old to match the accident frequency of the 16-25 years old cohort. Should we ban young adults from driving?

The reality is that the drivers tests should be MUCH more stringent for all cohorts. The reality is also that not having a car in the US is a horrible handicap.

So, we are stuck in a very suboptimal spot until self-driving cars come online.

My kiddo has a couple of those, and I'm still in two minds about some of the choices that they provide in those kits.

It feels a little like "Follow these instructions exactly" without requiring understanding in a lot of cases. For example, the music IC doesn't have any of it's terminals labelled.

The same with the transistor; it doesn't seem to explain exactly why you'd need to use it, why you'd need a resistor on the base, etc. On that note, It's also possible to potentially damage stuff if you just try to experiment without understanding.

I feel like they could have made some of the parts a bit more flexible -- have current limiting resistors built into the LED & transistor units for example, provide point-to-point wires rather than rigid 1/2/3 unit connectors, etc etc.

You'll get no argument from me how automobile control system ergonomics have gone to shit.

But I was thinking more about passive safety improvements from body structure engineering and auto-braking systems.
Hardly big brother to say that you should be required to pay attention when driving, and this all stays on-vehicle until you've been gone so long that it must be a medical emergency.
That’s because all of those safety engineering improvements have caused the average cost of a vehicle to skyrocket.

Yes I am serious. Obviously 1200 dead is sad. Disregarding the emotions, on an Israeli political level it IS useful to rally the country to finally handle the Palestine problem once and for all, which is what is happening right now.

Does Israels actions over the years have any impact on how Jews are treated elsewhere?
He is a member of Netanyahu's party, which is a right-wing party (though not far-right in terms of Israeli politics).

He is certainly not a moderate, but he is far more trusted than Netanyahu and is considered a moderating and opposing influence on him by many people. Mostly representing the interested of the defence establishment, as opposed to purely political interests (or, if you ask me, as opposed to Netanyahu's only real interest, which is himself).
I've lately been struck by people having a life difficulty due to "missing a clue" absent some experience. The person poorly conceptualizing and executing physical therapy, for lack of athletic experiences. The person poorly handling cognitive decline, for lack of a grasp of work processes. The person variously failing from having physical discomfort as an abort criteria, for lack of experiences normalizing its deferral.

"I have this clue at hand" can have broad impacts. Software development's emphasis on clarity, naming, and communication protocols, helped me a lot with infant conversation. Math done well, can be a rich source of clues, especially around thinking clearly.

There's an idea that education should provide more life skills (like personal finance). And another, that education should have a punch list (as in construction), of "everyone at least leaves with these". Now AIish personalized instruction will perhaps permit delivering a massive implicit curriculum, far larger than we usually think of as a reasonable set of learning objectives. Just as a story can teach far more than the obstensible moral/punchline of the story, so too might each description, example, question and problem, dynamically tuned in concert. So perhaps it's time to start exploring how to use that? In the past, we worked by indirection - "do literary criticism, and probabilisticly obtain various skills". And here, from math. Perhaps there's a near-term opportunity to be more explicit, and thorough, about the cluefulnesses we'd like to provide?

It tends to be the opposite. Kids are usually fine, if they cross a construction site once, they would be really unlucky to have something fall on their head, even if they are careless. Professionals who work on site for thousands of hours will have something fall on their head eventually, even if they are careful. That's just probabilities. Take 10 times the risks for 1/10000th of the time and you are still 1000 times less likely to get injured.

You’re sort of making my point — there are people out there who think math education sets the mind free and opens the gates of higher cognition, and then others talking about hum drum stuff like tax brackets and compound interest. If the benefits really just amount to a few units of pre-algebra content, that would be disappointing.
Which atrocities? What wasn't shown on mainstream media?

In my experience, most of what mainstream media claimed initially around atrocities was proven to be categorically false - up to and including the president of the USA going on live TV and lying about having seen evidence of baby killing, with staffers having to sheepishly and quietly release a "that didn't happen" statement later.

Of course these retractions happened later, and Israel's explicit and planned messaging of atrocities, inhuman animal behavior, etc had its desired effect of riling people up to support a genocidal assault after a single successful counterattack from an impoverished people at war for generations.

My father is an electrical engineer. Growing up, he had countless components in the basement, including a whole slew of 7400-series DIP chips, as well as a bunch of (powered) breadboards and spare wire. In highschool I had so so much fun building things from scratch - I recall building a basic adder by drawing out the truth tables and doing boolean algebra to come up with the circuit diagram, eventually evolving it into a more fully-fledged calculator. It felt (and still feels) like magic! Most of it was self-directed, though I certainly got his help in a lot of places.

I think sort of "choose your own adventure" projects like that are great, and they also force you to really understand everything you're doing. You can also scale the scope of the "project" to whatever you want; it can even be a sort of iterative process. More importantly (imo) you're left with a bunch of components that he can tinker around with endlessly :)

FWIW, we had to have the idle speed of our fans lowered because the usual idle of around 5k RPM was WAY too much cooling. We generally run our fans at around 2.5kRPM (barely above idle). This is due to not only the larger fans, but also the fact that we optimized and prioritized as little restriction on airflow as possible. If you’ve taken apart a current gen 1U/2U server and then compare that to how little our airflow is restricted and how little our fans have to work, the 12X reduction becomes a bit clearer.
