A lot of folks in child comments are echoing your sentiment that something “cannot be proved safe”. Your argument that proving something is “not unsafe” is proving a negative is fallacious; the same can literally be said about anything (proving something is X is the same as proving it is not not-X). Proving drugs are safe and effective is literally one of the jobs of the FDA. If you do not believe that is possible, then we may as well tear down the entire drug regulatory apparatus. I imagine you and many other commenters will sing a different tune when posed with that suggestion.

So, let’s stop pretending it’s not possible. We require drug companies show their products are safe and efficacious, and there is both a scientific and a legal framework by which we do this. Let’s debate whether or not the same framework should be applied to food additives (I would argue it should) rather than claim it is not possible.
I find the piling on of the DMV to really be a cheap shot. In a sense it made the entire rant seem like another example of someone not caring.
SSG != WordPress.

The value proposition of WordPress is that grandma can run her knitting blog. Not quite as straight forward to teach nana Markdown, jekyll, the command line, SFTP... It's true that anyone who can roll their website with a SSG doesn't need WP, but those people were never WP's core audience anyway.
What no one touches is that he used to unmask the devil and also let the regular folks (if they trust him) take short positions just like he did. Sort of Robin Hood with weak reference.

Connecting people to other people, to life changing art, places and things that they end up loving and wouldn’t know about otherwise? That has to be one of the best uses for technology. I’d like to see more of it.

I think you and others here are focusing on the stereotypical “influencer” faking authenticity for views but there are literally millions of human beings posting on TikTok about all kinds of things. A lot of them are pretty cool. Just click “not interested” on influencers and click like on the stuff you want to see instead.
Medicare would not have 2% overhead if it served 30-year-olds.

Swing and a miss. Medicare does cover 30 year olds, you just have to be sick enough to qualify. So in fact Medicare covers the least profitable young folks.

Edit since responding to your prolific bad faith arguments got me throttled:

Your argument is that younger people would magically add to the overhead incurred by Medicare. My point is that Medicare's low overhead already includes younger people who are more likely to use expensive modes health care more frequently than the typical younger person. And even then Medicare denies claims at a much lower rate than for-profit insurance companies.

But somehow, adding more, healthier younger folks to Medicare would add to the overhead?

Nah.

Edit since I might as well address another bad faith argument:

Medicare rate limits the number of new doctors allowed into the system
every year, through the residency funding system.

Congress controls that funding. Medicare is the administrator. At best your phrasing is disingenuous.
That's not how you win wars, that's how you start them. Diplomacy is a thing.
> Frankly, I'm shocked he didn't push Bibi into waiting until after the inauguration

If you read between the lines it was clear Biden was also pushing hard to wrap it up before his term ends to add it to his legacy (that's how NYT spun it at least). But Trump also had his people negotiating there as well and enough of add a hard-line persuasive influence to force Bibi to show up in Doha last-minute on a weekend during Sabbath [1]. While Biden really didn't seem to have much influence there in the last yr.

But ultimately they both get to take credit.

The cease-fire ending will eventually need a conclusion during Trumps term as well.

And Gaia also has a downlink speed of approx 3Mbps. So it will process as much as possible on board and just send down less than 20 pixels per each star imaged. That is why you can not get a direct image out of it.
I think in part because of YouTube demonization, which is how TikTok could poach the creators in the first place.

I suspect if they're mirroring content to YouTube, it's more to try to attract audience to TikTok than monetize through YouTube.

Title: Now Anyone Can Code: How AI Agents Can Build Your Whole App

The demo was cartoonishly underwhelming, showcasing little more than project scaffolding generation, followed by ooh-ing and aah-ing over a barely functional app, then 30 minutes of discussion around what may be possible in the future.

Well.. I did implement most of the framework. The good thing is that I'm waaaayyyyy detail oriented, and I made an extremely sophisticated system for it.

Maybe a little bit TOO sophisticated

Ethical outcome? Success.
By your reasoning, I have a right to hear the speech on instagram and X, correct?

Well tough cookies for me, meta and X are bith restricting my freedom of assembly. Will you go to bat for me?

They’ve imposed arbitrary restrictions on my access to speech simply because I refuse to sign up. And The government is okay with them restricting me from these public squares, outrageous!

Will you be angry on my behalf, like you are with the restriction on tik tok?

If these are truly public squares, it’s outrageous that I need to essentially show ID and give away a ton of rights to X and meta just to access the public square. Why are we not mad about that as well?
Docker Desktop Broken on Mac OS Update for over a Week
Yeah, the whole 'immutability' thing is just a front for the layperson, and that's honestly fine. However it does generate a weird set of expectations and culture shock when you cross that barrier into proper physics and you see people don't consider these things immutable, the best you've got is instrumentalism and functionalist treatment of observables. These worldviews have been a source of too many red herrings for the unprepared.
That's just the shape of the wafer. I don't know why the diagram continued the grid outside it.

Cloudflare is truly awesome!

They offer incredibly generous infrastructure components for individuals and small businesses.

If you’re looking to host a podcast with a custom domain name and need significant free storage, you’ll quickly realize there aren’t many (if any) free options—until you discover Cloudflare. With tools like R2 and Pages, they open the door to a world of possibilities.

I’ve even built an open-source podcast CMS/hosting solution using Cloudflare [1]. Thanks to R2, you can host up to 10GB of audio for free! It’s a game-changer.

Yes, the ergonomics are poor. I endure them for the results, but the ergonomics should be better.

Guix has better ergonomics, but it's own set of downsides.

I expect the underlying idea of holistic declarative systems is sound, and we're awaiting a polished alternative. Maybe it'll reuse nixpkgs under the hood
, but replace the name, the tooling, and the language exposed to the user.
There are corner cases of vision that cannot work because it's not mathematically possible, like a featureless wall (or ground, in case of recent mars crash).

And, vision can't work in/penetrate heavy snow or fog, which is transparent to radar.

Vision is an indirect measurement. Lidar/radar is a direct measurement. I'm curious if there are any other safety critical systems that uses such massively indirect measurements?
Don't forget about the Bandwidth Alliance, which is agreements for free or cheap egress between peers.

Used dnSpy once to debug runtime IL-emited code as if it was C#. It managed to step into a generated emitted method, decompile it on the fly and set breakpoints on the decompiled C# code for subsequent hits. That was a mind-blowing at the time, nothing else was close and I'm not sure any other tool or IDE supports this even now. Though didn't have a need for that since.
It's not hypothetical. Plenty of open source software tries to address it. For example, DigiKam does everything I listed 100% right. Problem is, it's desktop-only and geared for local photos. An equivalent solution could exist for phones and handle cloud albums, but the mobile and cloud vendors don't want to do it, and make it hard on purpose for any third party to try.
> And also that TRUMP turned out to be the lesser of the evils.

This is a pretty shortsighted perspective. At least wait 4 more years :).
I like this. I do something similar; I ask myself “Am I buying this for the knowledge inside it, or the experience of it?”

I buy the latter. Be it a comic book, photography book, or something else. Those are artistic experiences for me.
Yeah, not doing one's job well because they don't know how to (and won't bother to figure out) is an example of not caring, fundamentally.
I wanted to leave the original post unsullied by my ragy commentary:

They are listing this as "operational" but the steps they are outlining here are not a proper solution for this problem! I cannot sudo on my work macs. How can a severe problem like this go on for more than a week? This has completely shut down my local development. I'm mad at the situation more than anything, but also a big middle finger to mac OS for not allowing me, a somewhat mature professional adult with expertise in stuff like this, what I want on my machine. My new workstation orders are not going to be macs. Good job!

The worst part is, even if you go with the extremely user-hostile un-minimizable prompt wants you to do, which is delete a bunch of files, the popup will still spam you until you are able to follow the instructions on the remediation that docker provided! Completely FUBAR
The only portion of the graph with divergence around 1971 in the first two graphs is the GDP line. The first graph is even worse -- the divergence is higher in the late 60's than it is in 1971.
Too far down. That’s when business owners realize they couldn’t win votes for “hey vote for what the rich guy wants!” And switched tactics.

And it worked really well.
Voodoo worship of math? I am getting a bit tired of that sentiment, especially around string theory.

Math is all you've got to work with, we wouldn't have modern day physics without math.

The issue is that people think they can find some kind of magic shortcut by playing around with abstractions without reference to or grounding in physical observables. That's not a math problem, that's a psychology problem.
The negotiating power

And the more predictable process. Private insurers (especially UHC) are notorious for changing up the minutiae of the claims process in order to increase the proportion of claims they deny. There's a cost associated with having to maintain a huge staff just to hassle with for-profit insurance companies.

Good thing reviews aren't just about catching bugs.
I take a slightly different approach - I usually have AI assist in writing a script that does the task I want to do, instead of AI doing the task directly. I find it is much easier for me to verify the script does what I want and then run it myself to get guaranteed good output, vs verifying the AI output if it did the task directly.

I mean if I'm going to proof-read the full task output from the AI, I might as well do the task by hand... but proof-reading a script is much quicker and easier.
People are pointing to a very long history of misbehavior on the part of Israel when they say that. Something along the lines of “hamas and their attack was to be expected given the circumstances israel, the party with all the decisionmaking power, deliberately cultivated over decades.”

Lots of countries have made it illegal to listen things like Radio Free Europe. I'm guessing you can't in North Korea. On the other hand, a US citizen that wants to get the Chinese perspective on anything has lots of ways to legally find that and repeat it. I am not saying a lot of people in the US are interested in a foreign point of view, or that the US doesn't have tons of propaganda. But I don't think you can convince anyone that the two countries treat speech the same way.
This is untrue on multiple levels. Iran invested most of its resources on its own military - the proxies are extremely cheap - and Iran's most powerful Iraqi proxies are fine, while the Houthis actually came out of this stronger.
> Trump turned out to be the lesser of the evils

This is based purely on his word which isn't worth all that much.

Meanwhile Biden's actions has resulted in a ceasefire.

> Evidence of his craft was seen in his tactics, which included feigned retreats, ambushes and the use of false information.

Reminds me of "Intelligence in War" by Keegan, which discussed the use of such strategies, mostly in naval battles, from antiquity to the modern era.

Often, very often, foreign investment is directly correlated with tourism-gentrification, aka driving out the poor working class people from some location, because it looks "authentic" and is centrally located, into ugly looking places at the outskirts of the city.

But this can happen whether people from outside buy it or not. As long as there is demand for tourism, and some countries are richer than others, this will happen.

Rethinking the Producer-Consumer Relationship in Modern DRAM-Based Systems
In smaller communities, people care more. There is a reputation social cost associated with being a self-centered asshole when everyone knows each other. If one doesn't care about others, they'll soon find themselves excluded from social circles, not offered help when they need it, and similar.

This is not the case in large cities – show 1 million people you do not care for them and there are still millions that will treat you reasonably well, especially if you can make a nice first impression. In some way, this social environment optimizes for not caring.

This is why I spent 30 years living in large cities around the world and now moved to a relatively small town. And I couldn't be happier. Streets are tidy, the town administration fixes most known problems, the public spaces are refurbished and the parks are maintained, businesses are pleasant, and everyone is friendly – I think I could ask for a favor from my taxi driver and they'd probably try to help.

There is a list of grifters we all know and keep in our heads, and I don't think the community will ever do them any favors. That is justice – these people wouldn't do anything for the community, too. And this list happens naturally in small places – you know the character of those around you. Reputation for having good character has social value. And this is natural.
I would like to offer a review on this article. Naming people and projects single characters makes it difficult to follow the content.

Why? I think most of us can recognize they're not necessarily good by our standards, so they're not the good guys. But they are the ones resisting a genocidal apartheid colonialist state, so they're at least better than the Israelis. So if we call Israel the bad guys, that leaves Hamas as... the guys.
You've got your history mixed up. It was the Christians who persecuted Jews throughout history, culminating in the holocaust by, guess who, Christians. Jews thrived under Muslim rule during the middle ages.
This is an example of what economists call path dependence. In principle there's no good reason for access to health care to be coupled to employment and we wouldn't design the system that way if we were starting from scratch. Originally it started during WW2 when the federal government imposed wage controls to hold down inflation, so employers took advantage of a legal loophole to offer free employee benefits such as health insurance in order to attract workers. At that time healthcare was pretty cheap because it couldn't really do much. That system stayed after the war ended largely due to inertia. It probably benefits large employers because it gives them a cost advantage over smaller competitors but overall it's a terrible burden on the country.

A better approach would be to mandate that everyone purchase individual or family policies directly from insurers on open exchanges using pre-tax dollars, with subsidies for low-income consumers.

Not replying to you specifically; just responding for more open minded readers.

Rabin was assassinated for Oslo. The process stopped. The US spoke of a two state solution, while also playing along with settlement expansion. The West Bank is now apartheid swiss cheese. And Gaza is regularly bombed. A peaceful march in Gaza ended in bloodshed and intentional aiming at appendages by IOF snipers.

When all avenues towards a lasting solution are blocked, and peaceful protest is suppressed with violence, what would you expect would happen exactly?

> ostensibly pressures Netanyahu into accepting the ceasefire

There is no evidence of this.

Every single time Trump has blustered about doing something e.g. turning Canada into a 51st, buying Greenland the parties have been concerned but not particularly worried. Because he doesn't follow through.

So the idea that we should credit Trump for his words and ignore the months of diplomacy and pressure from not just the US but Middle Eastern countries is bizarre to me. Ceasefires are always far more complex and nuanced than they look from the outside.

Netflix's death has been greatly exaggerated on HN. It's not popular with us, and for good reasons, but it's ever more popular both in terms of subscribers and viewer hours. It's not the easiest to always get the exact and best content you want but it's the best to get okay content any time. The latter tends to drive the average user.
Oh well. I also speed. Call the police.
memorization is not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about

1. you have a problem, you try something and it doesn't work.
2. you find an LLM and it "gives" you the answer with one or two tries
3. problem solved! what have you learned? How to have answers given to you when you ask.

or
2. you look for an answer in a dizzying haze of man pages, quacks, and website Q&As.
3. you try and try again and eventually problem solved. you have learned not only how to solve a particular problem but your overall ability to solve similar problems has done up. You've learned how to fish, not just ask an LLM for a fish.
