Those that do not use a VPN will be justifiably concerned that a breach at some later date will expose them.

Expected: articles from the likes of TorrentFreak which detail 'no logging' vpn sites.

I'm sure there are more missing pieces.

We are more than Broca's areas. Our intelligence is much more than linguistic intelligence.

However, and this is also an important point, we have built language models far more capable than any language model a single human brain can have.

Makes me shudder in awe of what's going to happen when we add the missing pieces.

This "news article" doesn't support your claims - it only says the IGF claims these hostages were killed a short while before they reached them. Given the IGF has murdered Israeli hostages up close, has taken the approach of reducing gaza to rubble, and is constantly caught lying, it's far more likely these hostages were killed by bombs or IGF bullets.
Where You Should Hide If WW3 Starts [video]
Recently in San Francisco I visited a Walgreens with a list of around 15 items to get. It took over an hour to find and retrieve them all because each time I had to call the attendant, watch her hobble over (she seemed to have difficulties walking) and then unlock each section.

This is necessary because there are large, open air fencing operations in the San Francisco area that the feds allow to operate with impunity. [1]

Any time you have to do this, just remember: the feds are knowingly and willfully allowing the criminals that make locks necessary to operate.

Money laundering, receipt of stolen property, conspiracy, RICO, theft, burglary? The FBI San Francisco office doesn't give a damn.

Follow the money: without fences, there are no theft rings. The criminals stealing 50 bottles of shampoo aren't about to sell them themselves, they hand them into fences for 20 cents on the dollar.

Hamas just changed the terms of the deal, demanding the release of hardened terrorists. The deal will now likely fall apart. They are a terrorist organization, and behave as such. This “deal” is just another avenue to wage psychological warfare, in their view. The war in Gaza will likely continue.

It wasn't changed "recently", it was 2017! Hamas, unlike many Israelis, are not supremacists; they lived peacefully alongside Christians in Gaza for example, and explicitly state they have no beef with Judaism.

> They still openly talk about destroying Israel and killing Jews

No, they really don't? Meanwhile, Israeli politicians talk daily of committing war crimes and genocide, but somehow that's fine because it's against Arabs?
There’s a bunch of regulations, but from looking through them quickly I think they start with a bunch of testing and analysis initially to show a predicted rate under the requirement, and afterwards they look at the real-world rate with a 12-month rolling average.
By analogy with human brains: Because our own brains are far more than the Broca's areas in them.

Evolution selects for efficiency.

If token prediction could work for everything, our brains would also do nothing else but token prediction. Even the brains of fishes and insects would work like that.

The human brain has dedicated clusters of neurons for several different cognitive abilities, including face recognition, line detection, body parts self perception, 3D spatial orientation, and so on.

This is not a study but a reality for me. At one point on HN I wanted to farm for karma points. That period lasted for a few weeks, I wasn't too intense about it, just a fun question I had.

My tactic? Find something that has something like 15 upvotes and you suspect to be rising quick in upvotes. Create the first comment and your best to make an as thoughtful comment as possible, even if you don't know anything about the topic.

Result: I was always within the top 3 getting between 10 to 50 upvotes.

One idea I have (just brainstorming) force users to make a vote first of 10 random products and only after they see the results.

It could probably use some UX tweaking since forcing someone to vote isn't quite nice, but at least it takes care of this effect that was described.

Hamas is a designated terrorist organization by the US, EU, and others. Their stated purpose is to destroy Israel, and their founding charter including language about killing all Jews. They started this war by massacring over a thousand civilians, injuring thousands more, and kidnapping hundreds. They killed people brutally - beheadings with dull tools, rapes, burning people alive. They also continued launching tens of thousands rockets at Israeli civilians for the duration of the war, though it was basically not reported. If Israel did not have the world's best rocket defense, there would be tens of thousands more dead Israeli civilians.

IDF is the military branch of an actual state. Likud is a political party. Neither advocate for indiscriminate killing of civilians (though some Likud politicians might, just like the US or any other nation has crazy politicians).

"Right to exist" is granted either through law or force. Hamas doesn't have law, doesn't exist within a functioning state, and is illegal by the laws of most nations. IDF isn't.

If you actually think there's a moral equivalence between the IDF and Hamas, or that Hamas is somehow the moral group here, you really need to learn more. Stop consuming social media, stop reading things on the internet, go buy some books from a diverse array of sources, both pro-Israel and anti-Israel, and maybe you can gleam the truth out of there. It's not a guarantee, but it's your best shot.

I really think the TikTok age has amplified insanity where we actually have people asking, "Why does a military get to exist but not terrorists?".

I wanted a simple way to test npm packages, experiment with TypeScript, and work on ideas like prompt engineering without heavy setup or local tools.

Features
- npm Integration: Install and use packages instantly.
- Network Requests: Test APIs right in the notebook.
- TypeScript Playground: Experiment, debug, and share code.

It’s ideal for developers, educators, and anyone wanting a TypeScript scratch pad. Give it a try at TypeScriptNotebook.com.

I’d love your feedback—what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d like to see next! https://typescriptnotebook.com
I find it pretty telling that the two sides of this argument boil down to:

1. This is a platform owned within China which can easily be used to silently and effectively spread highly targeted propaganda to extremely vulnerable demographics. If it has already been used for this purpose we will never know.

2. They make the most engaging internet junk food and other competitors don’t do nearly as good a job.

Does that about cover it?
Because e-mail is naturally self-replicating and not bound to organizational boundaries, in ways chat isn't.

Chat messages tend to exist in one place only (vendors' servers), with maybe a transient local copy that gets wiped over time, or "for privacy reasons" (like Messenger switching to E2EE, effectively wiping cached history on any device that went through the transition). Chat message is an object, it's designed to exist in a single place, and everything else is a pointer to it, or a transient cache.

E-mails, in contrast, are always copied in full. You send an e-mail to me, you retain an independent copy, I get an independent copy, and a bunch of servers in between us keep an independent copy too, even if briefly. I forward your e-mail somewhere, more people and servers get their copies. I reply back to you, more independent copies, that also quote the previous messages, embedding even more copies that are even more independent. This makes it very similar to paper correspondence (particularly when photocopy machines are involved), i.e. impossible for a single party to unilaterally eradicate in practice.

And then chat vendors implement silly features like ability to retroactively unsend a message, force-deleting it from recipients' devices too (it may still exist in backups, but vendors refuse to let you access those, even with a GDPR request). In e-mail land, that's fundamentally not possible.

(Microsoft tried to bolt it onto their corporate e-mail software, but it only works in Outlook/Exchange land, and it's easy to disable (at least was, in OG Desktop Outlook - not the still broken New Outlook Desktop Web App). I discovered this when I once saw an e-mail I was reading suddenly disappear from my Outlook, which prompted me to find the right setting to disable honoring unsend requests.)

So, come discovery time, critical chat history may turn out impossible to find, and any deeper search will require forcing cooperation of the chat operator. E-mails, on the other hand, tend to turn up, because someone, somewhere, almost certainly has a copy.

I dont know how it could be less obvious that I manage other users’ devices, and yes, I can escalate my permissions fine, but rolling this out to a distributed fleet of machines, some of which may not be remotely in the same timezone, is not quite as easy - there are many situations where sudo is not granted by default to a workstation. I’m amazed people find this surprising in this thread.

At the dominant pharmacy/convenience store in my area (Shoppers Drug Mart), it can take up to 12 clicks to self-checkout, depending on what garbage they're upselling on the day. I counted them.

I refuse to use them, and (annoyingly, I know) let the cashier know why each time as they're checking me out. I feel bad for the poor cashier but unfortunately for them, they're my only interface to the company.
That looks like a successfully investigated case? With an appropriate mitigation found and implemented? And a worst-case scenario of “still 12x fewer hospitalizations than without the vaccine”?

Learning how to prototype a game is a skill. I've prototyped hundreds of games over 30 years for work and pleasure. Seeing the potential is genuinely hard but it IS a skill you can learn.

Understanding that the general public should not and indeed cannot be expected to see the potential is also a hard lesson. Games like VVVVVV are unicorns. Never bet on being a unicorn.

I am sincerely curious, as I can't make the connection myself, and of course "something something incentive systems" would be exactly my argument.
C3 (a C-like programming language) hits 0.6.6
For people who don't know what C3 is, it's a C-like language which aims to be an evolution on C rather than a whole new language.

With that out of the way:

C3 is continuing monthly releases of 0.6.x. This summer the development of C3 will turn 6 years old. When mentioned as a "new C language alternative", C3 is referred to as a "young" language. Just so that other language creators have an idea how long it takes for a language to get established. For comparison: Jai is almost 11 years in development, Zig 9 years and Rust – finally becoming a mainstream language - started development almost 19 years ago!

By April, version 0.7.0 will be released, removing deprecated code. The plan is to have one "dot one" release each year until 1.0 is reached (and if everything goes according to plan, the version after 0.9 will be 1.0).

For people following C3, this +0.0.1 release had some language changes:

1. Enum conversions starts preferring `MyFoo.from_ordinal(x)` / `foo.ordinal` instead of `(MyFoo)x` and `(int)foo`.
2. Ref arguments for macros are getting phased out to simplify the language, since they can be replaced (although not perfectly) by expression arguments.
3. Allowing the main method to return `void!` is deprecated since it led to rather poor coding practices. This also simplifies the language. Test and benchmark functions get a similar change.
4. Compile time `$foreach` now iterates over string literals, which was missing.

The standard library is also seeing some incremental improvements, including `foreach`-compatible iterators for `HashMap`.

In terms of bug fixes, it sees a fairly large amount of bug fixes, mostly on more obscure parts of the language.

For 0.6.7 compile time mutation of compile time arrays will finally be permitted. And perhaps enums might finally have the missing "enums-with-gaps" resolved (currently, enums are strictly numbered 0 and up).

More importantly though, C3 will see the beginning of work to prune unused features from the language, which will then eventually be removed with 0.7.0.

This will be an ongoing job, to take the still somewhat uneven features of 0.6 and remove anything redundant and unused, as well as making sure that they don't have unnecessary special cases.

Vietnam is a slightly misleading comparison here I think, because big parts are jungle (counting the whole area downplays the severity of bombing significantly).

If you compare heavily bombed WW2 targets, you see similar/higher bomb loads, like 4000 tons for Dresden over 3 days (<10 km^2), or ~18000 tons for the Leuna works (synthfuel refinery, <20 km^2, within 1 year).

Same with me.

Another part is I didn’t like my kids seeing me staring at a screen all the time, especially when they were young enough to not get the distinction between eink and lcd.

What’s worse is id be reading all these books and they’d have no idea, even incidentally, what I was reading. Now we’ve probably got 500-600 books on the house and kids are always pulling out something to read.

I still get ebooks sometimes to search for something specific or to feel out a book. I still use my remarkable tablet for papers and things, but my personal library (filled with my personal notes that’ll last my life) is very precious to me.

You are acting like this is an either-or, but its not. You can presume innocence for both alleged crimes.

It is entirely logically consistent to say - i do not have enough evidence to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that hamas was illegally using this particular hospital for military purposes when israel blew it up. Without proof of that, its unfair to conclude the hamas violated the rules of war.

And at the same time say: i don't have reasonable grounds to conclude that israel didn't have evidence to conclude the hospital had lost its protected status due to being used in hostilities. Thus i can't conclude that israel violated the laws of war either.

Presuming innocence doesn't mean you take one side over another. It means you presume neither side comitted a crime until you see evidence to the contrary.
