> surveys indicated that an overwhelming majority of residents of Gaza supported Hamas

Come on, nearly half of the inhabitants of Gaza are/were under 18. "Surveys" cannot make collective punishment legal, or annexation and ethnic cleansing for that matter. I'd say outright cutting off a whole population from food and going on TV to rant about how even the babies are terrorists isn't self-defense or security. If anything it's with a second set religious extremists that needs Hamas just like Hamas needs them. And in similar fashion, they use "Israel" as a shield for what they want, despite the Israelis who do respect human rights and international law, and get threatened for it.

> You’re trying to separate Hamas from everyday people in Gaza

They are separate. Each person is responsible for their actions. You can't speak of democracy and then casually ignore this.

> They cannot, as I understood it, get the loyalty boost they want from converting a position to an F (Policy/Career) position because of the laws Biden introduced to protect roles from that kind of interference.

Read your own reference. Not a law, in the sense that it was passed by Congress, but a regulation created by the executive branch for the executive branch. It can be undone. If they want to loyalty test people, they can undo the regulation and perform the conversion later. This letter is not about getting people to resign and then rehiring them (as you strangely suggested in your first reply to me) under Schedule Career/Policy. I say that because the vast majority of the 2.5 million civil servants that it was sent to cannot be hired as Schedule Career/Policy per the OPM guidance I shared in my previous response.

Not every reset is due to expiration... e.g. if you know a user reused a password from a different service that got hacked on your service, you should probably make them reset it...
Amazon invested profits. For many years ago they could turn a switch and become profitable.

The share price kept rising while they were investing profits in expanding.

It's far from a fool proof way of doing things, many companies that prioritise growth over profitability wind up with neither, but Amazon managed it.

As for prices, no computer can work out my preference or not for a Mac over a PC, or a iPhone over an Android, or how much quality I will pay for in a bike. Prices reveal this.

Its not true. Look at nukes or rockets. Developing indigenous capability is one thing. Scaling it up and replacing entrenched players is another matter entirely especially when people and info flow is controlled.

Capacitors can be embedded in chip packages, but it adds cost, size and complexity. Bonding two chips inside of a package increases the overall size considerably. You would have trouble connecting from the main IC to pins on one side of the chip, crossing over the capacitor, for example.

Every production board will have capacitors in other places, so removing one of them at the expense of increasing chip size and PCB area isn't a good trade.

For high density designs with high budgets, you can embed capacitors and other passives directly into the circuit board in cutouts. You can also use special capacitance layer substrates to form a big distributed capacitor between two copper planes in the PCB.

There are a lot of options out there, it just doesn't make sense in most cases because putting a capacitor that costs less than $0.01 around the chip is trivial.
We didn't rate limit you. But I think you're underestimating the flamewar effect of a comment that begins "I honestly don't need to know more than: It's run from $Country".
I don't see it mentioned here but I may be too much of an amateur but I use copper pours because it reduces the work my ferric chloride has to do when I'm making prototypes. Having a mask cover all unused areas on the board vs. letting the acid eat through it seems like a waste.
It isn't really hype for me.

For my use, it is better than $20 a month o1 and being able to see the chain of thought is absolutely incredible.

I have learned as much this week from seeing the chain of thought as I have from what it actually outputs.
Interesting. This factory might've also had to dealt with that degree of variation. IIRC (unless I'm thinking of a factory for a different customer), their processes include a per-unit container that moves through the production line, and the container starts with various materials that will go into that unit. So I guess that's one way they could ensure that all the outer fabric came from the same part of the same roll.
I'm a native Hebrew speaker, I wouldn't even think to put Hebrew into my code, similar to how I won't use emoji or other non-ascii characters, except Hebrew in particular is even worse since it's RTL, and mixing it into LTR code would be a pain in pretty much every text editor.

I do occaisonally find code with variable names in other languages, but it's very rare, for the most part if you want to code, English is the way.

I've also seen a few devs who used Hebrew variable names but spelled in English (`shalom` instead of שלום).
> the ability for a company like OpenAI to collect novel data from interacting with real humans is a material advantage over their competition

It's different kind of data from the R1 reasoning chains. When LLMs have human in the loop, the human provides help based off their personal experience and real world validation. Sometimes users take an idea from the LLM and try it in real life. Then come back later and discuss the outcomes. This is a real world testing loop.

In order to judge if an AI response was useful, you can look at the following messages with a judge LLM. Using hindsight helps a lot here. Maybe it doesn't pan out and the user tries another approach, or maybe some innocuous idea was key to success later. It's hard to tell in the moment, but easy when you see what followed after that.

This scales well - OpenAI has 300M users, I estimate up to 1 Trillion interactive tokens/day. The user base is very diverse, problems are diverse, and feedback comes from user experience and actual testing. They form an experience flywheel, the more problem solving they do, the smarter it gets, attracting more users.

I don’t have a solid ML foundation, and it’s been a decade or more since I’ve worked with linear algebra.

For now I think that might be too deep for what I’m after. I’m at the beach looking out at the vast ocean that is machine learning and LLMs.
This is a fair question. It is based on the chemistry of fluorine.

Fluorine has the strongest electronegativity of any element in the periodic table. It requires extreme measures to muscle fluorine off a molecule. This is why it is used in non-stick surfaces like Teflon (nothing can “grip” the surface molecules because fluorine won’t let it) and why it is used in toothpaste (molecules that might attack the tooth surface chemically can’t compete with the fluoride that is already there). The dark side of this is that it is difficult to contain fluorine compounds, they have a tendency to attack most containers you can put them in that aren’t also fluorine based. Famously, they tend to eat glass so you can’t store it in glass vessels.

The toxicity of fluorine flows from this. It has an insatiable appetite for Type II metals, notably calcium and magnesium in the human body. If you are exposed to fluorine, it will have a seek-and-destroy mission for these metal ions. A typical human body has a lot of calcium and magnesium circulating so it can absorb exposure from diet, water, etc. The net effect is that some calcium and magnesium is removed from circulation and is no longer bio-available. Not a big deal. In extreme exposure cases, like an industrial accident, the way it kills you isn’t toxicity per se but by removing all of the calcium ions from your system. Your heart uses calcium ions for electrical signaling, so if those are all neutralized by ravenous fluorine, your heart stops.

The antidote for extreme fluorine exposure is to ingest a bunch of simple calcium and magnesium salts. The fluorine latches on to the surplus floating around and there is enough left for your heart to keep running.

This is where the mechanism of action question comes in. For fluorine to have biological effects on cognition, the body would have to be so devoid of neutralizing calcium and magnesium ions, which it strongly prefers as a matter of physics, that you’d already be dead. In extreme exposure cases (like getting concentrated fluorine compound spilled on you) with prophylactic calcium/magnesium antidote, it does really nasty damage to the bones, but there has never been a case of cognitive damage that I’ve ever seen mentioned in the safety literature.

Fluorine is a nasty element, I don’t miss working with it, but it isn’t a serious threat in trace quantities because human bodies can easily absorb the loss of calcium and magnesium. Human bodies are tolerant of almost all elemental toxins at natural levels. The few for which there is no evidence of tolerance at even trace levels are elements like mercury. Even elements like arsenic and lead are believed to be required by human biology to some extent and therefore the human body has some evolved tolerance for them. (These two are pub quiz material, most people are shocked to find out that these are necessary micronutrients.)
I agree, Dart's public-facing codegen system (build_runner) leaves a lot to be desired. (In part the problem is that Dart uses a separate system inside Google.)

However, this is a topic of active work for the Dart team: https://github.com/dart-lang/build/issues/3800. I'm sure they would welcome your feedback, particularly if you have examples you can share.

You're also always welcome to reach out to me if you have Flutter/Dart concerns. I founded the Flutter project (and briefly led the Dart team) and care a great deal about customer success with both. eric@shorebird.dev reaches me.

I never understood the fascination with JSX. Stuffing HTML into JS? You can stuff JS into HTML natively LOL.

Why not use HTML templates and Web Components, or something? I would have thought React would become like jQuery, after Web Components were implemented natively in browsers, just like jQuery's functionality was. But it's still very popular.
Most of the advanced chips (the 16 nm that Xilinx uses for UltraScale/+ and below) are flip-chip wafers and have an interposer which is basically a very dense PCB that helps fanning out the extremely dense and small pitch of flip-chip bumps. They will usually include extra low impedance ("landscape" orientation) capacitors on the substrate, which leads to much relaxed PCB decoupling requirements.

Having designed FPGA boards with both their 7th generation parts and their Zynq UltraScale parts, the internal capacitors are such a time and cost saver in terms of being able to fan out more signals without more PCB layers

I can also attest that even relatively "slow" chips like 14 nm FinFET MPUs from Renesas have decoupling caps on the substrate

* At 7:06 - tower gives PAT-25 traffic advisory about 5342 and PAT-25 reports traffic in sight and requests visual separation

* At 8:12 - tower asks PAT-25 if they have the CRJ in sight and tells him to pass behind the CRJ. PAT-25 again reports traffic in sight and again requests visual separation.

* At 8:28 - crash occurs, exclamations, go arounds issued
The Aztecs, a millions large extremely militant civilization, were conquered by Cortez and his "army" of 500. Even if 95% of the Aztecs were sick, which they weren't, they would have outnumbered him by many orders of magnitude. The fundamental problem is that the Aztecs were armed with basic bows, and primitive melee weapons like wooden clubs. The Spaniards had rifles, plate armor, and longswords. This is what enabled a group of 500 people who didn't even speak the language to gather "allies" and single handedly destroy an entire empire with centuries of military experience.

There were also plagues that spread in the other direction - the obvious one is syphilis. And the claim that slavery is what caused Europe's success is similarly not well supported. Most of every great empire in the world had massive numbers of slaves. In fact the word "slave" itself derives from "Slav" [2] owing to their enslavement in many empires across the world. Yet these empires, for the most part, failed. While Europe thrived.

Or even take the Americas. Less than 10% of slaves taken from Africa ended up in North America, yet North America would become the dominant power in the world, extremely rapidly. Or even within America, the colonies (come states) that were most averse to slavery would be the ones that would thrive the most. I mean the idea that slavery played some key role just doesn't make any logical sense. It's just the neohistorical self loathing nonsense.

History's full of awful stuff, so is the present, and so too will be the future. Be happy it went as well as it did. There are timelines a plenty, probably the overwhelming majority, that make the terribly flawed society we have today look like a utopia.

>against Uyghur Muslims

Against Islamic fundmentalist terrorism commited by Uyghur extremist.

Rotating a bunch of Uyghurs through a few months of "reeducation/reradicalization" classes with minimal fatalities and pouring billions to improve regional infra + gdp is orders of magnitude more magnanimous than what happened/is happening in Gaza, or what's left it. It's delulu to think otherwise. It's more kids gloves than US prison industrial complex. And it more or less comprehensively solved the Uyghur extremism and attacks in PRC (100s of attacks over the years with 1000+ fatalities). Muslim world is far better off that PRC has successfully implemented securitization technology to deradicalize, because they have the most to gain from it, that's why there's broad support from Muslim leadership. PRC figured out how to actually eliminate radical terrorism without droning weddings, so of course a bunch of security cameras and Chinese lessons and first world infra has no equivalence to US funding Israel to murder and maim kids and turning most of Gaza into rubble.

Why? If every innovation OpenAI is trying to keep as secret sauce becomes commoditized quickly and cheaply, then why would markets care about any innovations they have? They will be unable to monetize them.

Usually the value isn't a big deal for "power rails" which expect to have additional capacitors connected elsewhere. However, sometimes microcontrollers expose decoupling pins for use with internal voltage converters and regulators (for example the core voltage on older STM32 parts), and those require very specific values that correspond with the tuning of feedback networks and power converter design within the IC

You might find a configuration like that in some old retro computing gear, but a modern 1uF ceramic chip capacitor will outperform a 0.1uF tantalum significantly. You don't need to use an electrolytic for 47uF. You can get 47uF in one or two surface mount ceramic caps.
Sajoki – AI-Powered Personality Tests for Smarter Hiring
Hi Hacker News,

I’m thrilled to share Sajoki, a platform we’ve built to revolutionize hiring and talent management using AI-driven personality and soft skill assessments.

The Problem:
Traditional hiring processes rely heavily on resumes and subjective interviews, which can lead to inefficiencies, biases, and costly bad hires. Research shows that 89% of hiring failures are due to a lack of soft skills, yet many companies struggle to evaluate these effectively.

What Sajoki Does:
Sajoki provides role-based personality tests tailored to specific job requirements. Using AI, we help companies:

Identify the right fit by assessing personality, soft skills, and team compatibility.
Reduce hiring costs by up to 40% through smarter, data-driven decisions.
Avoid bad hires and build high-performing, complementary teams.
Why It Matters:
Hiring mistakes can cost businesses up to 30% of an employee’s annual salary, and teams suffer when there’s a poor fit. Sajoki empowers HR professionals to make precise, bias-free decisions while giving candidates a modern, transparent hiring experience.

We’d love your feedback, and feel free to ask me anything about our journey or product.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
