In our society we don’t objectively consider it wrong, otherwise Batman (Superman, Spider-Man) wouldn’t be so popular.

Hiking is a perfect example. Have you ever gone hiking in sneakers and jeans? It absolutely sucks. Have you ever gone camping with a shitty mattress and tent, in jeans with a way too heavy pack? It sucks and most people don't look back. If you go snorkeling with the absolute shittiest of devices and water gets into your breather, you might not want to do it again.

That's independent of the mindset your talking about. A bit of preparation can go a long way. You'll always learn, but you don't have to experience the worst of experiences to do so.

I’m standing behind this.

I think that Brian Thompson was a mass murderer. His actions as CEO put profit before people and caused many people’s lives to be lost.
Dick Cheney comes to mind.
Ok: https://fortune.com/2024/12/05/unitedhealthcare-ceo-brian-th...
The CEO was minding his own businesss, putting his head down and getting busy to use the SOTA AI and other technologies to dslover the most efficient way to decline healthcare for people paying for it. Sure, some fraud was prevented, at the cost of denying service for people in legitimate need, surely causing premature death in some cases. He might only wanted to make the line go up, but that does not relieve him of his responsibility.
> Trump won the popular vote after all

The fact that he wasn't punished for a laundry list of offenses that would have put a normal person in prison for life has been a pretty clear indication that the rule of law is, in fact, dead, and that it is a popularity contest.
A lot of terminally online people in these comments are dramatics overestimating popular support for Mangione.

It is certainly remarkable that a murderer has such a high approval rating, but he's still not close to being broadly popular.

You'll find 4o can translate this just fine, though several articles have also been written about it based on human translations.

I'm not so much interested in arguing with you about whether Ansar Allah seeks the revival of the Zaydi Imamate; this is pretty basic stuff. Your own source discusses it, but also: I'm not sure you can read any history of Ansar Allah, the Houthi family, Believing Youth, the Sa'da vs. Sanaa conflict, etc. without learning about this. When you read Blumi's account, keep in mind: the Zaydis are a minority in Yemen (I think they're even a minority in North Yemen.)

The body count inside of Yemen is into the hundreds of thousands. One super useful source on this is ACLED, which tracks raw conflict events around the world; they have an "Explorer" on their site that breaks battles and fatalities down by region and time (for lots of countries, not just Yemen). Dig into that, come back, and tell me the Houthis are fighting America and Israel.

The ”nonviolent” part is interesting. We as a society has many examples of holding such people responsible for ”legal” and ”non-violent” actions that clearly resulted in deaths of lots of people.

Sorry about the rather extreme example and inviting Godwin. But consider for example Krupp (CEO) and Ribbentrop (Diplomat) who were both entirely ”non-violent” people, they personally did not draw a single drop of blod as far as I know. And the holocaust were perfectly legal according to the law at the time.

Violence with the stroke of a pen, killing via a rubber stamp, violence through withholding safety.

Why? You can still get information from there, they're stopping you from working for free for them for some time.
Free speech beats the alternative. But it's important to realise that just because the media (or anyone) confidently claims something doesn't mean it's true (not generally because they're lying, just because they're wildly overconfident), and that's still true when they tell you what they're saying is "the science".
Kind of, because epochs only cover grammar changes and some kinds of semantic changes.

It doesn't cover standard library, scenarios with binary libraries doing cross calls across epochs and several others.

Similar slits existed in thousands or tens of thousands throughout the building, not only in every room but at short intervals in every corridor. For some reason they were nicknamed memory holes. When one knew that any document was due for destruction, or even when one saw a scrap of waste paper lying about, it was an automatic action to lift the flap of the nearest memory hole and drop it in, whereupon it would be whirled away on a current of warm air to the enormous furnaces which were hidden somewhere in the recesses of the building.
> Given the mismatch between public sentiment and the reporting on all things Luigi Mangione, the establishment is really scared

Polling numbers (actual gauge of public sentiment) show a net disapproval for Mangione: https://stratpolitics.org/2024/12/unitedhealthcare-poll/

If anything, the news media has been trying to push the Mangione debate and controversy at every chance, like the above article that was selectively written to highlight demographic groups that showed higher approval of Mangione first.

Thinking that “the establishment” is a collective of all major companies that act in unison is conspiratorial thinking. Don’t think for a second that the news media wouldn’t hesitate to push and profit from the controversy.
If a CEO of the largest health insurer is "a cog in the wheel", who isn't?
Any healthcare system must deny healthcare. No healthcare system existing anywhere on this planet provides infinite healthcare to everyone. Denying healthcare is not violence.

In any economic system, units of economic organizations must sometimes dissolve, and people must be laid off. This is unavoidable. Laying people off is not violence.

In any society, debts are expected to be paid off. If people could just stop paying their debts, nobody would make any loans anymore. Forcing people into bankruptcy is not violence.

Frankly, your comment strikes me as exceedingly naive. "I only want ever nice things to happen, and bad things happening to people are violence". I suggest thinking about why these things happen, what would be alternative, and so we put up with these.
C-suite are minions themselves but it scares the higher ups. Even Trump almost got taken out. It was damn close.

I think squeak had Monticello for source control with their image based approach almost

Is the Nuremberg defense your best instinct? Just doing his job, eh?
Do you have proof of that? Look I know insurance companies are rarely eager to pay out. If they were, they would quickly go out of business or else have to charge you so much as to make the coverage pointless. Nobody would be allowed to be a CEO of a health insurance company for long if they "openly cheered for the murder of people" as you claim. The business involves tough decisions affecting the lives of people who are often deathly ill and/or mentally unstable. It's really easy to blame businesses for things that really aren't their fault.
Academic work, including for undergrad classes, is often owned by the institution you are enrolled at. Presumably, they already own the IP.
Email notifications from your CRM stop getting delivered to your employee’s inboxes (which means your business is losing revenue). CRM vendor says ”problem isn’t on our end”. Hopefully someone at your company understands DNS and MX records and SPF records and SMTP headers in log files so you can go back to your CRM vendor and keep barking up the chain until you get someone who understands how Mailgun works so you can explain to them how to fix their problem.

When evaluating options, I’ve learned to ask myself the question, ”how do I fix this if it breaks?” If my answer is, ”it won’t ever break”, I’ve learned it’s always a red flag that says I don’t understand enough about that solution to support it, because everything can (and will) break.
>You know what else invites more murder? People openly cheering for the murder of law-abiding citizens minding their own business.

It's a testament to the staggering weight of antipathy the lower classes bear towards the CEO class.

Let's not delude ourselves by pretending Brian Thompson was just a normal law abiding citizen. He was living a lavish lifestyle funded by his company's industry-leading rate of coverage denials, which bankrupted families.

If there exists a definition of social parasite, I suspect "health insurance executive" fits. Is it any wonder why Americans, living under their dystopian healthcare system where one essentially spins the roulette wheel to decide between being bankrupted by cancer or being able to afford to send one's children to college, might feel some schadenfreude?

This looks awesome.

What I would love to see either as something leveraging this, or built in to this, is if you prompt stagehand to extract data from a page, it also returns the xpath elements you'd use to re-scrape the page without having to use an LLM to do that second scraping.

So basically, you can scrape new pages never before seen with the non-deterministic LLM tool, and then when you need to rescrape the page again to update content for example, you can use the cheaper old-school scraping method.

Not sure how brittle this would be both going from LLM version to xcode version reliably, or how to fallback to the LLM version if your xcode script fails, but overall conceptually, being able to scrape using the smart tools but then building up basically a library of dumb scraping scripts over time would be killer.

> People openly cheering for the murder of law-abiding citizens minding their own business.

It is hard to feel sorry when their own business implied throwing thousands of ill people into hardship and reneging on their contract to pad the bottom line. Murder is wrong, but the way these insurance work is very much not right either and when there is no relief valve like fair regulations, pressure is bound to mount.

Asserting that murder is wrong without caveats or discussion, and that the problem’s root is the murder is also bound to increase pressure even further. The future government won’t do anything to help, so pressure will keep increasing and things will get more volatile.

I have never needed containers or Kubernetes, but as a long-time DBA and programmer I can speculate. Relational database engines generally perform best running close to the hardware, because of optimizations around memory and I/O. Every layer of abstraction introduced adds drag that affects all clients of the database.

Edit: This on HN just now. Apparently some people don’t still think databases shouldn’t run on K8S.

The Air Force didn't let kids into the base supermarket if they were too big to sit in the shopping cart, and under 10. So I had to hang out in front while my mom shopped.

Eventually I turned 10 and got a military ID and could go into the supermarket. My mom would buy a huge pile of groceries (because it was a bit of a drive to the base and she only shopped every 2 weeks), and the cashier's fingers would just fly over the mechanical keyboard. I'm surprised their fingers didn't bleed from doing that all day.

The laser scanners are sooo much better.

Can you imagine these days leaving your six year old outside while you shopped?
> law-abiding citizens

It's worth noting that being law-abiding is doing the bare minimum. You can be a horrendous person doing evil things and still be law-abiding.
Assuming his narrative is factual they are accusing him of a violation he did not commit and he is now being threatened with expulsion as a result.
I didn't have it quite as bad as you, but I did go to war once with my alma mater regarding a particularly small lab director and part-time instructor who had a Napoleon complex going on. He was directly and obviously infringing on student's First Amendment rights, not to mention bullying the class as a whole and attempting to threaten people. Ironically, his heart was in the right place, but his execution was way off.

I was fortunate in that I went to college much later in life, after a career in the military, and as I'd had enough bullshit there, I made the conscious choice not to tolerate any out in the world.

Long story short, he and I butt heads. Then he wanted to take up to the Department head. For someone with a Ph.D., she definitely didn't think it through, just proving you can have a Ph.D., even in a STEM field, and not be too fucking bright... but... when it got to the Dean of Students, and the campus's VA liaison all sat down for a meeting with me, and I started pointing out that F.I.R.E. would have a field day with this, and would we really want a veteran-led incident on campus with a lab director that's flat out admitted in recorded interviews (I was attending college in a one-party recording state, so I had recordings of every one of these meetings) that he doesn't care about students' First Amendment rights??

That put everything into perspective really damn quick. I have never forgot that meeting because there, in that moment, we all looked at each other and everyone understood exactly what I was saying. The Dean of Students stood up and said, "Do you want to apologize to the department dean...?" and I just raised one eyebrow and he immediately shot back, "Right... we should probably all let this go." I nodded and said, "I think that'd be the best option for everyone involved, after you guys sit down with Lab Director and straighten him out."

I've done some things I'm not too particularly proud of in my life, but this was one time I really felt like I did the right thing.

Come on! Not only your math is ridiculous (you can't just square amounts of money, just consider how it would work if you changed currency: $8 is 1260¥, squares it makes it 1587000¥ which is $10k != $64) but believing that RSA-2048 is factorizable in $4k is hilarious.

> none of it is "brute force"

It's not exhaustive search like it would be for symmetric encryption, but it's still somewhat brute-force (especially since RSA keys are inflated in size compared to symmetric encryption to accommodate for their vulnerabilities), put more clearly what I meant was “not without theoretical breakthrough unknown to the public”.

BTW, it's not a very good idea to lecture people with actual crypto knowledge (even though mine is quite rusty now for I have not done any serious stuff for 15 years) when your own comes from ill-understood YouTube vulgarization videos.
> The guy he murdered was a cog in the wheel who was doing his job (like many of us are) within the system that has been established

The cog deemed most important by everyone and who got the most money for his cog-services, where all other cogs were following that one cog, a kind of master cog. If you had to choose which cog to break to stop a machine, which cog would you select?

> Curious how many people here believe that indeed he should have been murdered?

If you can't change a system, you at least try to stop it. Should he have been murdered? No. In properly designed systems, you have fail-safes. When those fail-safes are not enough, some cogs will break, sometimes very spectacularly. That is what we have here. A system could not handle all the accrued stress and starts breaking.
The only potential crime that article lists is allegation that the murder victim failed to disclose some material fact to the company investors. Are you saying that Luigi Mangione killed Thomson on behalf of the stock holders, who lost money by holding UnitedHealthcare stock?

Your comment is pretty clear example of the attitude around the case. People hate CEOs of companies that must make difficult decision, and so when they are murdered, they will twist themselves into pretzels to somehow justify that they had it coming.
Pretty sure the ‘Chef Executive Officer’ is the opposite of ‘just’ a cog in the wheel just because of, y’know his entire job title.

TLDR: Suburban and certain commercial development is money-loser because tax-revenue is way under the long-term costs of the infrastructure to support it, and already denser areas (including the housing of poorer people) are subsidizing spread-out/richer zones.
