Israel is the only Jewish state globally, and its efforts to counter Iran-backed proxy groups have contributed to broader regional and global security. While there are some Jewish groups that dissent, they represent a minority. The majority of Americans, Israelis, and Jewish communities support Israel's actions against Hamas, Hezbollah, and other Iranian proxies.

> doesn’t mean people won’t be killed by it. It doesn’t mean people wont get cancer from it in 30-40 years. Killing 1% of the people that eat something would be a perfectly acceptable evolutionary loss

But it would be an evolutionary loss, unlike a synthetic compound that has been equally as well studied scientifically - this odds on would make the natural compound safer to consume… not sure why this is so complicated to understand

This isn't a 'great firewall' solution. It just prevents google/apple from hosting it in their app stores. If tiktok wanted to they could still host it from outside the USA and let people access it via the web (or sideload the apk on android). Having said that tiktok has announced if the ban does occur they will shut down service on Sunday.

> appeal to nature fallacy

Appeal to nature isn't a fallacy, it is a rhetorical device and can be a completely logical razor.

The appeal is to have a diet more in line with our evolutionary past. If we want a yellow food dye should we:

A) derive it from something humans have been eating for hundreds of thousands of years and that a couple studies have confirmed is probably safe...

B) derive it from petroleum (as current US yellow food dye is) that a couple studies say is probably safe.

Who the hell would take B? Unless we believe that our studies are infallible, all encompassing and perfectly established and executed the first will always be a better option. Time and time again we see that things previously thought safe are not but I would argue it is far far rarer to see that on the more naturally derived side of food.

Which models perform better than 4o or o1 for your use cases?

In my limited tests (primarily code) nothing from llama or Gemini have come close, Claude I’m not so sure about.

Those are amazing! Are you hand aligning those lenses on the print or is there some sort of tooling/hardware/service that is capable of it?

Wouldn't then the cure just be to eat organic food, rather than meat of animals that were fed way worse crap than the average person? The whole premise makes no sense...

Founder or owner I think are the best. President is fine if you have a a couple employees, CEO I'd even be totally fine with for a small company, it just approaches cringy in my book when its founders using a corporate title that usually implies a larger organizational structure and it is really just them (a single person/no employee company).

Maybe that's it but whenever I've been in hiring rounds for dev roles and seen someone operating solo the story I see on their resume tends to look like they are solo because they were fired or otherwise couldn't make it in the corporate world so they tried to go solo, failed again and are trying to go back to the corporate world. That doesn't bode well.

If I see someone got a real company going with a real developed product or service and a couple employees and that failed that is an entirely different story, that is hire material. I understand most companies won't make it but the number of 'CEO' titles I've seen on resumes running a single owner LLC just makes me chuckle to myself.

As I said, there certainly isn't a better 'alliance structure' to appeal to. To suggest otherwise is to suggest conspiracy and I'll have none of that

Do recall that the EU has imposed quite a bit of regulation on US tech companies, remember all the requirements that EU citizen data be located in the EU? An outright ban however is unlikely between allied democratic nations, but it is certainly within their right

The government has always held a high degree of power over international commerce, especially wrt adversarial nations. I get that this seems different because of the scale of tiktok but in principle it really seems to me to be extremely typical. There is no 'right' to participate in the international market.

We banned Huawei from communications infrastructure. Cuban and Iranian companies are basically not allowed to participate in the US economy, this is business as usual for any country.

I'm not appealing to authority, I'm stating a fact. But even if I were, there certainly isn't a better 'alliance structure' to appeal to. In any case, it's a good thing your opinion on the matter is essentially meaningless (as is mine) which was the only point I was really making.

Certainly... it's just that anyone with any real knowledge/power knows that isn't happening (see the leaders of basically every consequential democracy from Germany to USA, even Ukraine).

Well for one, it could force the sale to a non adversarial nation. Two, if it doesn't it undercuts the companies ability to deliver it on American app platforms, both of which are a positive from the viewpoint of the US government.

What rights is it taking away? TikTok will still exist, you will still be able to get to it on the internet. All this bill does is force a sale OR prevent American companies from platforming technology from adversarial nations (something every government does all the time... see the US and Huawei or limiting Nvidia exports to china etc).

You'll still be able to download the app from the internet (just not an App Store) or browse it on your phone on the internet. We aren't putting up a 'great firewall' or anything

I love this, I drew a triangle, clicked somewhere else on the timeline moved the triangle and it worked. So intuitive, just how it should be.

It automatically refreshes in the background. You can just set it and forget it. Not sure why people think it is complicated.

I don't think any of the major players could do that for all their data and they are acquiring it legally.

If we're getting technical you don't need to jailbreak to sideload on iOS either. AltStore automates the tedium but you can side load just fine on iOS too (for now).

I totally agree, but I'm responding to the idea that it is way ahead of the competition and pointing out that not even the verge article was positive in all aspects (as was suggested in the few parent comments of mine).

I don't think it is ahead of the competition personally and especially when considering the 7x price I fail to see how it could land with consumers. Having said that I do anticipate Apple will finish the tech in the next few years and it will be a much better buy (both in value proposition and with a lower price) a few years from now.

It can't even play games. You can do everything the Vision Pro can do and more on a quest 3 for 1/7th the price. The screen is not as sharp but the FOV is better on the quest (which they mention in the verge article), it has no battery dongle and it has actual tracked controllers if you want to use them (but you can fall back to hand tracking where it makes sense).

Well for instance, why is the news about UNWRA being censored here? I can find links to posts via google but they've all been removed, for example:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39160571

Personally I'd rather non-tech world news stay off HN completely but I'm calling it out because as someone who is up on world news I see quite a double standard unraveling here and that seems unfortunate.

Why are many respectful yet pro-israel posts being flagged and removed, while there are vile pro-hamas posts being flagged and left here? Why was discussion not allowed on Oct 7 but is now?

I know you are trying but it does not seem even handed. I'm screenshotting a whole collection of them examples if seeing them together would be helpful.

Hamas is the ruling party/government of Gaza.

> when one side gives up. > disproportionality of this conflict

Why is disproportionality meaningful at all? Clearly Israel is under attack. They have full right to subdue those attacks through all means necessary. I would hope every government provides the same for their people (and it is so easy to criticize Israel with all of us coming from countries that do protect our safety). Unfortunately Hamas has no regard for Palestinian lives, the best possible outcome for the Palestinians is Hamas giving up.

Yet you banned all the posts on Oct 7?

That is significantly more land than the USA would need to power the entire USA with solar power. Why so much land? (That is 34k miles^2 when we would only need 22k at most, new solar generations could potentially get that amount down to 10k).

This happens to me pretty regularly when training ML models or running heavy simulations etc, the system is taxed and electron just gets swamped meanwhile more efficient apps can handle themselves just fine on the side.

You disagree based on what? On virtually every measure they are behind in AI, I can’t think of anywhere they are ahead, please enlighten me
