From what I can tell Netanyahu was honestly elected. There is still reason to suspect he will be voted out in the next election (if he won the current war in 2 months he would be sure to win) and will peacefully transition power. Only time will tell of course, for now at least it still looks like someone in power that you may not like but honestly elected by his own people.

> does not impinge in any way life on earth

A good portion of the life on Earth looks up at the Moon, often with magnification. Treating it like a nature preserve would be a gift to all posterity and they would praise us for it. Treating it like another resource to harveest will ultimately mean covering it in colonies and forever changing the face of an astral body that has remained virtually untouched for all of our species' history. Presuming to utilize it for industry or colonization is so short sighted a view I can't believe anyone harbors the thought.
Considering there’s a tech industry in South Korea I would like to know how that might affect global markets and industry from that country.

Ask me in 200 years when I can look back in history and see how this turned out. It could be either, or just another case of something happening that didn't mean anything long term. Only time will tell.

Of course in 200 years we will both be dead so you can't actually ask. Depending on how long you live you might be able to look back and state something conclusive. However nothing should be stated at all for 10 years, and until 20 years have passed all statements are very low confidence.

> a couple of companies asked for my HN handle

That's kind of shitty. I'm writing this down as in the last 2-3 years I've started to care less and less about any perceived veil (or hypocrisy, to be more honest) on websites like this one but it's still interesting to see that companies filter out potential employees based on that manifested hypocrisy. That explains a lot of how come SV is in the slump that it is right now (ignoring the AI bubble), but that's matter for a different discussion.

We all have to be well-behaved hackers and painters, or else. That's not how it worked in the past, and it will never work like that.
A country that we think of as part of the "democratic club" declaring martial law is a really big deal.

Yeah, it's politics. Yeah, it's news. No, it's not just another political news story.

The existing PrEP drugs work differently.

Cabotegravir is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor. This means it blocks the HIV's enzyme integrase, thereby preventing its genome from being integrated into the human cells' DNA.

Emtricitabine is an analogue of cytidine. The drug works by inhibiting reverse transcriptase, the enzyme that copies HIV RNA into new viral DNA.

Both of these drugs actually prevent infection.
The price here is absurd - scraping unnamed big tech search engines costs $0.00, with the caveat of a slightly higher barrier of entry.

Assuming you're not talking about lens effects (which definitely has a huge effect), you might be reacting to the use of tone mapping in iPhone photos, which tends to make things look "flat". There's a slider called "Brilliance" in the iPhone photos app that you can play around with to get a sense of how this type of processing tends to flatten images. I'm not sure how or whether it's possible to disable this in the default camera app.
No I didn't see him officially declare martial law and suspend peoples' rights.

From my perspective (outside the US) you could see him urging people not to storm the capitol.
We've been in the prologue to Version 3 since the end of WWII.

It's the nature of what we, the citizenry, have allowed to happen with our governments and multinational corps: destruction of the environment, subjugation of the people, and arming themselves to the teeth instead of prioritizing peace and prosperity for one and all.

Compassion is the only viable step forward, and its manifestation requires stopping the brutal oppressors of the world in their tracks, because unseating them from entrenched power gets messier by the day.

Remarkable BFCM weekend. The power of entrepreneurship was on full display
I like supervision enough that I reimplemented it in Go myself. I have never found a very compelling reason for hierarchical supervision despite using supervision for well over a decade now in one form or another. I support it, because the supervisors themselves are also services pretty trivially. I've gotten a request to implement the other strategies, but when I asked "why", basically, there was no answer, other than "Erlang implemented it".

I find it useful architecturally to be able to have "a thing that is a service", but, if it turns into "two services", I can have that "thing" simply wrap two services internally with its own supervisor and not change its public interface to need to provide multiple services.

Reading Erlang documentation leads people to believe that they're going to create these elaborate hierarchies of actors that crash other actors if they crash and have complicated restart patterns... and I've never found anything useful other than "if this crashes, please restart it".

I'm sure the other use cases exist. It's a big world and there's lots of needs out there. However from what I can tell at least 90% of the actors in the world don't need much more than basic supervision. That is pretty useful, though. It's amazing what that can paper over out in the field sometimes.
I'm referring to the fact that Netanyahu is facing criminal charges and is using the war to delay his court hearings and simultaneously flatten Gaza.

This is just wrong. Kagi has its own index and uses many other indexes to augment theirs if theirs do not provide enough coverage for a search.

Show HN: The Traveling Salesman Game
Thanks for reading! Half an hour per day might seem short, but for me all those binge sessions were draining my energy. Those long watches were more exhausting than doing light work or house chores. I'm with you on rarely stopping mid-show - I bet most of us are like that. Good idea - will look into crawling Netflix to get actual watch time instead of total duration of the show/movie.

The references you provided are prescribing information and to other drugs which actually are anti-retroviral.

That's not really accurate. The previous attempt proved that it worked, but we all know that getting something working and making something performant are two different things. If there were some buy-in to this initiative, the performance issues of the "MVP" can be addressed. Guile also advanced its compiler during the same time, gaining more optimizations and a JIT compiler.
The problem is in being able to discern reasoning from patterns that happen to exist in the training data. There are plenty of tricks you can play on an

Unquestioningly a "good" practice, but it takes more time and effort on the part of the teacher, who has to take the audience into account when creating his layers of Hell--err, explanation.

Any information about the licensing terms of data that comes back from the search API?

A lot of APIs like this have serious restrictions on what you can do with the returned data, such as not being able to store it. This can greatly limit potential applications for anything beyond just "show some search results to a user".

Apple has been doing this with the MacBook Pro since 2012, no? The biggest consternation is the battery replacement cost. It's expensive, and you're guaranteed to need it if you plan on keeping the machine for a while. I know, I have a 2012 MacBook Pro and trust me, the battery does not make it 12 years and it's several hundred dollars to replace.

Would I buy the machine again? Absolutely!

We're small, but we abandoned VMWare YEARS ago because (a) our size meant nothing they were doing that was interesting was interesting to us and (b) HyperV was plenty good enough and essentially free and (c) the licensing and support conversation every year even BEFORE Broadcom was just insane.

It's completely fair to compare prices when you're on the buying side.

It's also strongly recommended when you're on the selling side, as you should be prepared to explain what added value justifies that your product is so much more expensive.

>> And, if there's two things that seems constant in conservative politics, it's that they don't want anything to change (by defintion of 'conservative'), and they do seem to be forever embroiled in accusations of corruption.

I do agree. But the thing I would add though is that at least when I was there (W2012 - we were in the same batch!) YC and PG in particular were vocal about principles they believed in, especially the idea that naive young founders get kicked around in Silicon Valley and ought to be treated fairly. PG talked about this constantly and of course it’s a big theme of his essays. I remember one particular instance where a potential investor was behaving questionably and PG offered to step in and talk to them if they crossed a certain line (which they did not in the end). He was clear about what he concerned acceptable and unacceptable and why. And we were nowhere near the cool end of the batch.

Yes YC acts in its interests but in my experience they live by good principles and that makes all the difference. The Chaos Monkeys anecdote is an example of that. So I don’t agree with the article’s framing that they throw their weight around to simply exercise whatever power they have over others for financial gain.

I agree the rewrite everything in Rust meme is overblown, and the Rust evangelists can be insufferable. I also agree that, at a glance, Rust syntax is (in my opinion) quite ugly. Once you start using the language it makes more sense why things are the way they are, but it was offputting to me at first and I still think its ugly now.

However I don't think adding Rust support, rewriting old, critical components, using Rust for a new project, etc. are bad things. If someone volunteers to rewrite critical components in a way that eliminates (or significantly reduces) one of the most exploited and damaging classes of bugs, while also adding support for said way, then I don't see the problem. If someone opens a GitHub issue on your C++ project telling you to rewrite it in Rust, just close it and move on.

Not comparable. This is a coup d'etat. Netanyahu is a corrupt politician; President Yoon is attempting to rise above politics.
Pony is what prompted TFA to consider whether or not 1/0 should be defined. It's not what the article is about. Obviously anybody who writes a compiler can define / to have a specified behavior for a zero divisor; TFA is about whether that's correct. There's nothing significant about IEEE 754 choosing to define an operation that's nominally undefined, as it does not have any bearing on whether or not that behavior is correct.
