> This is one of the most disgusting, vile statements I've seen on hacker news.

Only if you completely misread it and conflate the Israeli government with people living in Israel, which is a good way to misrepresent what I'm saying.

A government using a terrorist attack to justify its already rapid military expansion? Unheard of.

If you're disgusted by this sentiment, it means you have more good faith with the Israeli government than actual Jewish people, which is really sad. What's antisemitic is telling other Jewish people that they are self-hating when they don't clap for hospitals being bombed and children burned with white phosphorous. If you don't find this [1] vile, you are not a person who can judge morality.

And you were in this thread calling everyone who disagreed with you an Islamist cabal before you were flagged. Not sure I care about the opinion of such a blatantly brainwashed person.

There has been a LOT of research on this. A popsci book I've read on the topic is Adam's Tongue. It details the features that separate what's called Animal Communication Systems from human language.

https://www.amazon.com/Adams-Tongue-Humans-Made-Language-ebo...

Obviously pets are quite capable of making their wishes known to us, especially if we facilitate it. It's unclear whether they're actually achieving language. I'm tempted to think they are, especially when I see dogs using push buttons to talk to us on Instagram. But I can't be totally sure.

And even if they were, it would be language we taught them. Not independently developed in the wild.

How Loneliness Begets Loneliness (2017)
In the last 5 years several major medical providers have had sensitive person data of nearly everyone compromised. The political leaders are biggest problem today, but that could change again.
Just want to call out that the head of the trust and safety/integrity division, Guy Rosen, is an Israeli citizen with a strong pro-Israel bias. He’s also a person of questionable morals. From Wikipedia:

“ Guy Rosen and Roi Tiger founded Onavo in 2010. In October 2013, Onavo was acquired by Facebook, which used Onavo's analytics platform to monitor competitors. This influenced Facebook to make various business decisions, including its 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp.
Since the acquisition, Onavo was frequently classified as being spyware, as the VPN was used to monetize application usage data collected within an allegedly privacy-focused environment.”

That Meta considered his questionable ethics a feature not a bug, and repeatedly promoted him, is very problematic.

What of it? The Loved One (1948) was a bit of a squib at best, tonally a throwback to the earlier Waugh. It’s not very good (imho) so you can see why Terry Southern - who had not much taste - liked it enough to make a film of it, also unsuccessful.

The Sword of Honour Trilogy written over the next decade or so is much more representative of the later Waugh: the original article has sketched him out correctly.

The general continuity in Waugh’s life and writing is contempt for modernity: a turn to religion makes perfect sense in that light.

The diaries are worth reading too. He really was quite an unpleasant fellow, as well as a fine writer.

> Splitting hairs over citizenship when he was here legally massively misses the problem with blackholing people here legally.

And on top of that this case should be horrifying to anyone regardless of whether they want to split hairs because:

A) they admitted he was deported in error

B) they are now effectively trying to argue there is no way to get him back

So even if you believe they would never knowingly do this to an actual citizen they are only one slightly different mistake from disappearing a citizen, whether or not it has happened yet.

Nevermind the fact that Trump himself has repeatedly floated the idea of deporting citizens: https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2025/04/10/trump-...

And then lastly and most importantly IMO it is wildly un-American to believe anyone (regardless of citizenship or legal status) is not entitled to due process.
Amusing that a newly minted federal department of tech-bro adjacent yahoos declares that there is waste but clearly does not have any of the expertise—which would probably need to be wide-ranging—to be able to actually get rid of the waste itself and not just cut indescriminately.

"AI Safety" in that particular context is easy: Keep humans in the loop and don't give AIs access to sensitive systems. With certain small antipersonnel drones excepted, this is already the policy of all serious militaries.

Besides, that's simply not what the LW crowd is talking about. They're talking about, e.g., hypercompetent AIs developing novel undetectable biological weapons that kill all humans on purpose. (This is the "AI 2027" scenario.)

Yet, as far as I'm aware, there's not a single important discovery or invention made by AI. No new drugs, no new solar panel materials, no new polymers, etc. And not for want of trying!

They know what humans know. They're no more competent than any human; they're as competent as low-level expert humans, just with superhuman speed and memory. It's not clear that they'll ever be able to move beyond what humans know and develop hypercompetence.

Facebook's boss has repeatedly shown that he's an amoral hypocrite , most blatantly after Trumps election. I m not particularly sympathetic to palestinians but what's going on here. Its not just Israel, facebook has succumbed to authoritarian governments like Turkey in the past. The ubiquity of facebook and its monopolies are directly contradicting the spirit of democratic Constitutions worldwide. What's the point of guaranteeing freedom of expression when a single entity/person controls the attention of billions and billions of people.

I think we need a rethink of freedom of press laws in the age of international monopolies.

> I also don't see how this is significantly different from their "dear colleague" letters which seem to be simply distributed on their website. I would not call this page a "better platform" for this information:

That page is public and accessible by anyone on the internet without an account. Not the case with Twitter.

Share posts on any social media forums, sure, but a data-driven decision would not put information EXCLUSIVELY on a private, shared, for-provite platform owned by an unelected government official. That's just corruption. It's pretty fucking simple.

A data-driven outcome would be "hey, we support hundreds of millions of people with different preferences and abilities, so we should probably use multiple platforms and ensure our information is as easy to access as possible." Which, btw, is not costly to do.
That does not necesserly mean that they care about particular religion.
It's worth considering how remarkably broken that system is. The end result is detention or deportation of a highly skilled professional with ongoing employment in the US. That's not someone who would typically be considered a flight risk or an overstay risk.

Requiring one to return home to reapply also never made any sense for student visas, at least when it comes to graduate level research. Academics at state funded institutions who are paid off of government grants aren't generally people you need to worry about sticking around if their visa is denied. Neither is it clear why you would ever want to deny a visa to such a person to begin with.

From this article and others, it’s still unclear to me what the state-handling and state-sharing model of Erlang is. Presumably, the granularity of the crashing/restarting sequential processes is also the granularity of in-memory state sharing. But what about external state, like databases, queues, file systems? For example, if a process has taken an item off a queue and then crashes before having fully processed it, how is that accounted for? Or you might not even know from the outside if it has been fully, partially, or not at all processed yet. This is an example where correct error handling or not crashing is crucial, in my experience. Or what about processing pipelines where a component in the middle crashes. Is there something like that in Erlang? Is there an article explaining Erlang from that perspective?
That's no fun. Instead let's play a game. One of these logos was made by a professional design firm and cost over $1,000,000. The other two I just generated. The gap between well-known national brands with millions of dollars to hire the best and what normal companies actually get is massive.

more constructively, this is the kind of code ai is great at writing in my codebase and once it’s there locally as a library, it’s free. it’s not clear to me why I’d want it behind an api instead, at least as a solo-ish dev. I’d recommend looking at the similar openrouter that seems to have some traction and think about why users are using them. You might also think about deeper agent or eval stuff you could add that are beyond the scope of the little backend switching lib I could have Claude write. Anyway, good luck and thanks for sharing!
Judge rules Mahmoud Khalil can be deported
True but the mass adoption and flooding social media was far more gradual compared to the US still - all the big social media came out of the US really, so did all the massively centralized services. Computers in general have a steep learning curve so they are at large useless for remote rural areas in the US(in Europe you are never too far from a large city with universities and all the modern day creature comforts). Smartphones on the other hand are basic commodity with no entry barrier. 200 bucks and you have access to infinite and unfiltered information, which is what ultimately seems to have caused the issue: Across Europe(like mentioned before) we were all(and sadly still are) collectively playing catch up. And again - Nordics are all too familiar with how russia operates, whereas the US is still far from figuring it out. Hence the reason Europe is far more immune to it, although many are still falling victim. Europe also knows how to protest, which is still at large something the US has no clue about. Imagine if the leader of any large European country shamelessly pulls a pump and dump the way Trump did (twice as a matter of fact) this week. People in Europe pull out their pitchforks for infinitely less.

Of all the things going on now, a slip of the tongue seems pretty benign, doubly so compared to the CONTENT of the message in question which is somewhat alarming (albeit inevitable). George W. Bush would crank out far more nonsensical phrases on a weekly basis, Reagan was a mumbling goon, Nixon was a lunatic.

People who think that we just woke up to find that politics was messy and full of incompetence baffle me. It's possible to believe that Trump is a disaster and still keep a measure of objectivity.

> Do you have examples of the executive doing this to citizens

Feels like moving the goalposts. First they were going to clear out "illegals" by any means, now the line includes any non-citizens. Granted maybe you personally didn't say both though.

> Have you considered how allowing non-citizens to spread discontent within a country could be abused?

Is it meaningfully different from allowing citizens to "spread discontent"? Why not just start taking everybody's 1st amendment rights, by the same logic? I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure there's long precedent that non-citizens are granted most of the same rights, including freedom of speech and assembly.

If non-citizens are being supported, instructed, etc by their government in spreading discontent, there are probably laws like espionage for that; you don't have to take away everybody else's freedom to stop them.

I agree with you for Netflix.

However, Youtube's catalog is almost certainly larger today than it was a decade ago. Even if you could somehow weight by quality, I think it would be hard to argue that Youtube's content catalog has gotten worse. Maybe average quality per video has gone down, but there is so much content on Youtube nowadays, assuming you're able to find it.

I'm not sure about Spotify.

There’s a school of thought in management where you get your team to lean into their strengths and find ways to mitigate their weaknesses, rather than spend much time on them. The idea is, if you’re a person who moves quickly vs going super deep on every possible use case, you’ll always be shit at going super deep (I know I am), so you’re better off getting even faster and pairing with a deep investigator to cover your blind spot. And vice versa, of course.

> None of these topics (calculus, complex analysis, and trigonometry) require prior knowledge about specifically, so why bring it up using compound interest?

This seems like kind of a silly question. The reason is that e is usually introduced before you learn about calculus. You might learn about complex numbers before e, but not in any way that would make "e^i*pi = -1" understandable or even interesting. And you'll certainly learn about e before learning what it means for a function to be periodic in the complex plane.

The reason to start with compound interest isn't that these other topics require prior knowledge of e, it's that they require prior knowledge of those topics. The compound interest explanation doesn't require prior knowledge of anything, because you can build it from the ground up in explaining the concept of compound interest and exponential growth. It's also an explanation with obvious practical relevance. There's still a bit of a leap of faith in assuming anyone will find it interesting that that limit converges to this one particular number, but it's a smaller leap than is required to get people to care about anything involving complex numbers.

"The abundant evidence of genocide is just Iran tricking you" is not the take I thought I'd see, but here we are.

But what you're proposing is being a contrarian. I am not going to drink lead paint because the social media tells me not to.

That Israel gave another state perfect ammunition to demonize them does not make what Israel's doing any less real. That's just a dumb mistake they made. I can monitor what content is making its way to me, because I don't trust Iran either. I am aware that things will be exaggerated and misreported. But I am going to evaluate evidence, not throw everything out the window.
