> To the degree the Israel-Palestine war could have helped America, it already has.

Fifty thousand people are dead, many of whom were underage, and most of the universities and hospitals in Gaza are destroyed. Like the Iraq war or Tianamen Square, this is something people are going to keep bringing up for decades.

Syria is arguably the only good outcome, and it's not clear whether that was anything to do with Israel/US action at all?

Only failed Adani because they misunderstood how deep the Indian government would go to join in the cover-up, instead of actually investigating it.

The Big 4 auditor for Supermicro literally quit, citing concerns. It's the SEC's job to do the investigating (and it's failed badly and likely to fail more with the coming admin).
In terms of the people with products to advertise being crewed over by the ad industry, I think it is more that they don't see the similarity between the ad industry brain-washing us and the ad industry brain-washing them. Perhaps the disconnect happens because they want to interact with the ad industry, so get their stuff hawked to us, but we'd usually rather not.

Another interesting disconnect is that sometimes a person is both the “us” and the “them” in different contexts. i knew someone who would complain about some of it on other sides but when pointed out that his site used some of the same tricks he'd respond with “yeah, but I need that because …”.
> Person with headphones blocking the sidewalk.

Any normal sidewalk would be wide enough that a single person could not conceivably block it, and wearing headphones while walking, especially noise canceling ones, is popular because US cities are largely unpleasant, deafeningly loud places full of fast-moving cars.

> seeing as I think my other points hold strongly.

But they aren't. The initial claim was about Arabs in israel (aka israeli arabs), not Palestinians in the west bank / east Jerusalem which is a different topic.

Now don't get me wrong, i'm not gonna protect Israel's treatment to it's arab population, but let's get some facts straight. In terms of human rights you're still better off being arab israeli than being an arab citizen in most of the arab countries.

Are they sure it’s also not because they closed hundreds of stores all over the place leaving massive gaps with no retail coverage and stranding tens of thousands of pharmacy customers in a stupid act of cost cutting?

My county used to have ~8-10 Walgreens. Now we only have one, and it’s a fifty mile drive. We lost all our Rite Aids too, lost to the weird sale/merger/whatever bizarre shit they pulled off.
That's a Liberal Party think-tank supporting a hypocritical and ill-thought-out Liberal policy.

Maybe people should read something from the actual domain experts instead? The latest CSIRO report specifically responded to the claims made about extending the time period.

> CSIRO said accounting for a 60-year life reduced the costs of nuclear by about 9% compared with calculating over 30 years, but found other technologies such as solar and wind saw similar cost reductions of about 7% under the same approach.

You yourself seem a bit confused about facts after using these sources.

1. Nuclear is not anywhere near the same price as solar. (I'm hoping you typo'd and were really trying to make the much saner but still wrong claim that renewables plus storage has costs comparable to nuclear which this document tries to claim)

2. It's not just the panel costs that have dropped, the delivered cost of solar energy has been falling. It dropped 12% in 2023 alone. This has lots of causes, like the safe and predictable success of solar allowing for lower interest rates and cheaper panels allowing for other assumptions to be rethought (e.g. ditch trackers that used to maximise output per panel and use the money and space saved to buy more panels).
Possibly. Open an issue on GitHub and add a link to a sample file.
In line with CrissCross's comment, it's important to remember the Internet is also huge. There are probably millions of American who visit Hacker News on at least some semi-regular basis. Even if you see 20 of them in one thread all saying they experienced the same thing, that doesn't make it typical. Who decides to comment isn't some kind of scientific sampling process. I've been an American for over 44 years and lived in 12 different states and have never seen toothpaste locked up in a store.

I asked to it to write a piece of shellcode to call a function with signature X at address Y and then save the resulting buffer to a file. So that I can inject this code to a program I'm reverse engineering to dump its internal state when something interesting happens.

Claude decided to educate me how anything resembling "shellcode" is insecure and cause harm and blahblah and of course, refused to do it.

It's super frustrating, it's possible to get around it, just don't use the word "shellcode", instead say "a piece of code in x86_64 assembly that runs on Linux without any dependency and is as position-independent as possible". But hey, this censorship made me feel like I'm posting on Chinese Internet. Bullshit.
They still have access to and are making use of all the non-tangible benefits of their country though (e.g. legal protections, rights, any kind of social services, etc). If you want to be a citizen of a country you do have certain obligations to meet.

Nobody with any sense for how rockets work should be impressed with parachuting and refurbing SRB tubes. Landing a proper rocket stage the real way is an impressive feat of robotics and engine engineering. The shuttle SRB thing was a wasteful farce meant to pay lip service to the loftier goals set by earlier Shuttle proposals (such as real flyback boosters.)

A far better example, although still not exactly the same sort of thing, would be landing the SSMEs with every orbiter landing. They obviously required refurbishment (as all Falcon 9 Merlin engines do too) and the propellant tanks were expended, but the engineering that went into the SSMEs is a much better example of precedent to Falcon 9 than dropping spent SRBs on parachutes.

SLS/Artemis is actually using some of the specific SSMEs that have flown before on Shuttles. Veteran engines, but they will be discarded this time, no more refurbing. What a damn shame.
The difference is that Israelis don’t have another country to leave to.

Chat with Any Website – Free Tool
We've built a tool at Eclipse Group that lets you create an instant chatbot for any website. Enter a URL, and it builds a chatbot that can answer questions about that site's content.
Demo: https://ai.eclipsegroup.co.uk/ - Try it now with any public website
What It Does
Enter any website URL
System scrapes up to 100 pages
Creates a chatbot you can immediately start questioning about the site's content
Free to use right now (limited to first 100 pages per website).
Processing Time
The initial processing takes a few minutes because we run all content through OpenAI's moderation endpoints to ensure safety. We've chosen to prioritize content safety over speed - this means catching potentially harmful content before it reaches the chatbot.
Technical Stack

Flask backend
Qdrant for vector storage
LangChain for text processing
OpenAI API for embeddings and content moderation
Content safety checks on all scraped text
Real Example
We're working with some sight loss charities who use it to make their resources more accessible - users can ask questions instead of navigating complex site structures.
Try It Out
The demo is ready to use. Some interesting sites to try:
Documentation websites
Company knowledge bases
News sites
Resource directories
Note: First-time processing for a new site takes 3-5 minutes due to safety checks. Once processed, responses are quick.
This is a commercial product, but we're sharing it to get feedback and learn from how people use it.
Looking for Input
If you try it, we'd love to hear:
What kinds of sites work best/worst
Where it breaks
What features would make it more useful
Thoughts on the speed/safety trade-off
Our team will be around to answer questions and discuss the implementation.

Not sure about USA, but here in UK there are special schools for people whose autism really makes it unviable for them to be in mainstream school (whether that's a failure of the mainstream school, or just level of anxiety etc of the student). Such special schools are often wonderful, with the most amazing, dedicated staff. Usually staff have specialist training (albeit not always to as high level as one might like, due to underfunding) and much experience of working with autistic people. So, able to provide things that parents with no prior knowledge of autism, and jobs to go to and bills to pay, are less able to provide.

> Never mind that Gaza is still in ruins, the west bank is still being annexed, Israel still has the dual role of "all authority, no obligations" over the Palestinians, while making it pretty clear they have no vision for them at all, apart from "maybe they just vanish into thin air tomorrow".

Israel doesn't want to annex Yehuda and Shomron (the place you call West Bank). This is a complete misunderstanding of the people in the West about Israeli politics. Israel wants to have nothing to do with Arab population. Never wanted it, and doesn't see it wanting it in the future. It's completely antithetical to what the absolute majority of Israeli population (and the politicians who represent it) want.

The reason why Israel holds that territory is that after one of the wars, Israel tried to use it as a bargaining chip to convince its Arab neighbors to recognize Israel as a country and to sign a peace treaty, once the territory is returned (so-called "land for peace" series of UN treaties). But, the Arab neighbors outsmarted Israel by abandoning their people in occupied territories, and, essentially, handing Israel an armed grenade that it now has no idea what to do with.

With respect to this problem, Israel has different approaches to its solution, that range from the "transfer" (the idea that Israel will force / subsidize the Arab population to migrate out of the occupied territories, this is the extreme right-wing position, assassinated "Gandhi" was one of the major proponents of it.) to the two-state solution on the far left, where Israel makes territorial concessions, esp. in Jerusalem and around.

But there's no political force that wants annexation (including the population), and nobody would realistically dare to vanquish / force to move the whole population of Gaza / Yehuda and Shomron. Of course, you could probably find some oddball idiot declaring "death to all Arabs" or similar, but they don't hold any real political power. But even these people wouldn't want annexation if it meant they have to put up with the people from annexed territories.
I don't think it's wise to assume everyone is going to be perfect at their job. Yes, that bike line sucks. But haven't you ever made a mistake at your job? Expecting everything to work perfectly in life is a recipe for misery.
> That is fucked up.

Yes. Our local IKEA recently started doing this. During self-checkout, you have to click through hot dog, ice cream, cinnamon buns and drink offers, and the inevitable offer to get an IKEA family card before you are actually able to pay for your furniture.

Seeing this after waiting in line for 10 minutes, navigating a sluggish, unresponsive touch screen terminal and unsuccessfully trying to scan slightly bend bar codes while 10 people are watching you doesn't exactly increase my desire to return to this store.

I really think a huge part of the problem is that there isn't a direct interaction with a human anymore. If IKEA would ask their cashiers to advertise all this crap to customers before accepting their money, they would revert this after a single day because many customers would very, very strongly complain, and the cashiers would care and threaten to quit.

But you cannot complain to a self-checkout-terminal, which makes this even more frustrating. As another comment has pointed out, there is just a "No thanks" button. I want a "I am seriously offended that you try to milk me like a brainless cash-cow, you should be ashamed to even advertise this to me after I bought a couch for 1,400 EUR, and I will not return anytime soon" button.
that's interesting, i don't remember my dreams often but I do remember books and comics - I even distinctly remember being lucid, reading a really good comic - but not my screen work or apps. Perhaps my brain just cannot LLM them convincingly?
Are there lucid dreamers that sit behind their dream computers? If so, what are they doing, and do the programs give coherent responses? Are people playing chess or solo card- en boardgames or with dream characters?
I think they could, and fundamentally won't because they can be accessed via VPN, but ultimately aren't necessary because those companies are not exactly interesting for any purpose but talking to Americans or studying Americans.

I'm playing a lot with AI but...

To me these tools are pointless unless they're 100% reproducible. If they're not reproducible, they create more problems than they solve.

Thankfully local models are a thing and the proper ones already have a "random" seed and given the same seed an the same prompt shall always give the same picture / answer / etc.

If they can't do that, they're the road to impossible to fix bugs, impossible to diagnose products defects.

Many who rely on non-deterministic models are in for a world of hurt that's going to make these post-modern of insane bugs look like cheap stakes.
You obviously have a bias here so its going to be impossible to have any real discussion. There are very simple facts that I will restate for you. The CCP has seats at every major mainland corporation. Chinese corporations have in recent years been caught in some very spy like espionage, this is happening globally. China is an adversary to the US and Europe. There is no further burden of proof needed when talking about sensitive industries. You don't need to catch DJI in the act, similar to TikTok, if you cannot sever data/ties with the mainland there are real risks. Geopolitics suck but its a real risk that has to be snipped before it becomes a problem.

Do the five eyes and other countries have national intelligence that are collecting data, absolutely. I cannot recall any recent published articles about overt Western corporate espionage and especially any that were supported by a parent country.
Most israelis don't see it that way, are shielded or simply choose to look at it as survival and the IDF having to do what they "need to do". But yes you are right, it's downright evil.

The Future of AI Under Donald Trump: Industry-Wide Impacts
Sorry, not a native speaker, I was under the impression that aerospace means air and space. I guess i meant aviation.

I didn’t imply knots are mph, I used the slash to signify “or”. They are completely different units, but both are used. Sometimes the airspeed indicator even has two scales, one for kt and one for mph.
> I've ironically lost more money the more closely I've paid attention to my investments

Without insider knowlege market investments are pure gamble. The best you can do is to bet randomly. Once you deviate from random bets because you are mistakenly think you know something then your investments will underperform.
Really liked the article, I think there is also something to be said about the difference in learning game design and game development. I think people tend to want to do both at the same time, but spending some time just on game design can help you feel less helpless when learning development.

That’s cool and all but the Israelis are in Israel already, there’s no turning back the clock on Zionism without the mass expulsion of Jews who have no other home to go to.

Palestinians have a legitimate historical claim and so do Israelis. They’re exactly that, historical. If both sides can’t let those be history, it’s either eternal conflict or the elimination of one of them.

Just want to thank you for standing up for your values at your workplace. I wish more SWEs would have morals like this.
You're not considering one simple alternative - and that's the best "propaganda", by an overwhelming margin, is the truth. US propaganda worked during the Cold War era because it was mostly just pointing out true things, like having store shelves stocked full of really cheap and diverse goods. Soviet propaganda, by contrast, failed because the truth was not on their side.

And now we've basically swapped roles. So a lot of Russian propaganda is effective because it is the truth - Ukraine isn't winning, the sanctions are improving Russia's economy (and uniting the Global South) while wrecking Europe's, they didn't blow up their own oil pipeline, and so on endlessly. And vice versa, US propaganda isn't really working, because it's often left trying to make claims that are simply false - the opposite of all of the above would be an example.

As for governments freaking out - it's because of self interest. As everything comes crashing down, people are holding them accountable and anti-establishment candidates/parties are surging (and in many cases taking high office) pretty much everywhere. We're simultaneously living through a geopolitical inflection point with the decline of one great empire and the rise of [something else] (which hopefully isn't just another great empire), and the likely end of globalism. It's a shift that will likely geopolitically define the next century.
I think the biggest contributor to these processes was going open source in their graphics drivers.

They went from "we have tons of 3rd party IP in these!" to, "you don't need to download anything, it's in kernel mainline now" in a generation and they're off to the races after that.

Maybe their Ethernet drivers were open before that, I don't remember but, video drivers made them pass a threshold in maturity IMHO.
They also use incredibly annoying DRM
When to Say When: Reinventing the Switch Statement
I designed and implemented my own scripting language, which features a control flow structure I wanted to get some feedback on!

The `when` statement in DeltaScript extends the traditional `switch` statement with types of cases for pattern matching and testing the control variable against a boolean function (predicate). It also does away with fallthrough.
