h3rsko··on The Evolution of Tunnel Boring Machines (2023)
Its a special "kind of fraud and failure" that launched 90% of mass to LEO in 2024.
h3rsko··on Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books of the 21st Century (So Far)
Gideon the Ninth - this was a huge surprise to me and lots of fun. I've never read anything else quite like it.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - This is usually my go-to book recommendation for "whats your favorite book"

Mortal Engines - The first book of a surprisingly poignant YA series which is not only fun throughout, but has one of the greatest and most thought provoking endings of all time.

Cloud Atlas - A beautifuly written story that somehow manages to intertwine separate narratives across time.

Children of Time - A wonderful story about time, evolution, survival and what it means to be human.

Just read the Twitter thread. It's egregious stuff.

They still claim the al-Ahli hospital explosion was an Israeli strike where "hundreds were killed."

h3rsko··on 'Like we were lesser humans': Gaza boys, men recall Israeli arrest, torture
The only genocide in history with massive population growth.
h3rsko··on 'Like we were lesser humans': Gaza boys, men recall Israeli arrest, torture
What do you mean? Hamas said 500 people were killed when that hospital was hit. Everyone agrees it was a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket, so...

Additionally, around 30% of those rockets land in Gaza.

Israel was not created by "stealing Palestinian land."

"Palestinians have never stopped defending themselves." Do you mean when they explode suicide vests and shoot rockets at cities? Is that what you call defending themselves?

"genocidal occupation..." I find it hilarious that people can say a population with some of the highest growth on the planet is at the same time suffering a genocide.

"The end goal seems to be to occupy as much of “ancestral Israel” as possible." Explain how forcing your citizens to leave Gaza in 2005 fits into this master plan.

Countries being attacked by a sovereign city-state?

Are you really not aware of the Jewish massacres in the middle east?
h3rsko··on 'Like we were lesser humans': Gaza boys, men recall Israeli arrest, torture
Israels next door neighbor calls for its total destruction and routinely launches rockets at its cities. In what world would they not blockade them?
h3rsko··on Waku: The Minimalist React Framework with Server Components
Huge fan of everything Daishi builds, especially Jotai. Will definitely keep an eye on this.
h3rsko··on Israeli startups are moving jobs and money out of the country
> A legit government should be able to de-escalate violence.

What does this even mean? I would argue Israel is safer now than at almost any other point in the last few decades.

h3rsko··on Israeli startups are moving jobs and money out of the country
I don't think that's why he left his position; he left because he was voted out. Now he's been voted back in. Seems pretty Democratic to me.
h3rsko··on Israeli startups are moving jobs and money out of the country
How is it moving there? By making supreme court justices be appointed by elected officials (like most other democracies) as apposed to being a self selecting group.
h3rsko··on UFOs exist in the low information zone
If these are being released in order to raise military funding, why were they not released when they were filmed a decade ago? The military is always looking to increase funding.
h3rsko··on UFOs exist in the low information zone
The author ignores what many find most compelling about those videos. Namely, the domain experts (navy pilots) who filmed the videos and discussed them at length[1].

Jotai [1] is my go to, though I have never used it for anything too big.

h3rsko··on Why are glasses so expensive? The industry prefers to keep that blurry (2019)
I use https://www.firmoo.com/ and have never had any issues.
h3rsko··on Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
And on day two the Biden white house was "fact checked" so brutally on a tweet that they ended up deleting it. That would never have happened under the previous regime. A republican white house - sure, but not to Biden.

Shameless plug, but i built something similar a few years ago: https://github.com/GitGud-org/Gitgud
h3rsko··on Google employee resigns after ‘retaliation’ for protesting Israeli contract
"taking over most of Europe as Celts used to live all over France and beyond."

If historically it had belonged to the Celts, and all the land had been called Ireland since antiquity, and was currently controlled by Ireland and all the citizens considered themselves Irish then yes, Ireland should control most of Europe.

h3rsko··on Google Drive bans distribution of “misleading content”
I highly reccomend people look at Cryptomator[1]. It encrypts all your data on your google drive or dropbox etc, but works like normally on your local machine. Allows you to use these services while blocking the provider from being able to view your unencrypted data. Also its free and open source!

h3rsko··on Israel's autonomous 'robo-snipers' and suicide drones raise ethical dilemma
Quoting fatality numbers does nothing to disprove the statement. How many armies fire warning shots to let people vacate the area before airstrikes?

Regarding who hold the keys to peace, and who has their finger on the trigger, I think the government glorifying and paying people who sneak into towns and slaughter sleeping families with knives is a pretty big impediment to peace.

h3rsko··on America's 1% Has Taken $50T From the Bottom 90%
Inequality seems to be a completely pointless buzzword to me. The only thing that matters is if there are more or less poor people, and how poor are those people compared to similar percentiles in the past.

It shouldn't matter how rich the richest people on earth are. I really love seeing people on the Internet try to convince themselves that because Bezos or Musk are worth $100B, they must be stealing it from poor people.
