"This is an app the land thieves of the Zionist entity force Palestinians to install on their phones as part of their illegal apartheid permit system."

The article seems to be a little one-sided, perhaps?

If you don't have a full time job for a year, why don't you start a software business on your own? It's hard to succeed, but, successful or now, you will have something to show people and something that you are passionate to talk about. It will give you a new way to connect to people, and quite likely will help you to get hired. And who knows, maybe you will succeed.

It's not just AI. It's AI on top of society discontent that existed for a long time, but accelerated recently. The big underlying problem is, since at least 1970s every subsequent generation had to work harder to afford the same lifestyle as their parents. For a few decades it was balanced by the increasing women's participation in the workforce. But then, since 2008, we got banking crisis, both political parties focusing on outrage, pandemic, great resignation, generation of workers lost due to the lack of in-person contact, and now AI.

I was looking at Palette Inspiration (https://paletteinspiration.com/), featured on HN a few days ago. It has master palettes for 3,000+ painters — statistical color analyses across each artist's entire body of work.

So I had this idea: what if those palettes became code editor themes? I built 46 Zed themes (dark + light) from the color data of 23 master painters.

Each theme uses the artist's actual palette colors for syntax highlighting, UI chrome, and terminal colors. The dark themes use the palette's darkest tones as backgrounds; the light themes blend the lightest palette color toward white, so every artist has a distinctly tinted background.

The artists:

    Monet — Water Lilies
    Van Gogh — Starry Night
    Matisse — The Dance
    Renoir — Luncheon of the Boating Party
    Pissarro — Boulevard Montmartre
    Roerich — Himalayas
    Sargent — Madame X
    Aivazovsky — The Ninth Wave
    Cezanne — Mont Sainte-Victoire
    Degas — The Ballet Class
    Da Vinci — Mona Lisa
    Rembrandt — The Night Watch
    Picasso — Guernica
    Vermeer — Girl with a Pearl Earring
    Turner — The Fighting Temeraire
    Klimt — The Kiss
    Kandinsky — Composition VIII
    Gauguin — Where Do We Come From?
    Caravaggio — Judith Beheading Holofernes
    Raphael — The School of Athens
    Munch — The Scream
    Velazquez — Las Meninas
    Hokusai — The Great Wave

Is anyone surprised? There is this inexplicable affinity between Trump and Putin. It's genuinely baffling, since it serves him very poorly (there is strong support for Ukraine in the US). What do you make of it is up to you, whether it's just his general admiration for dictators or something else. Ukraine is absolutely right to go its own way, with or without American support. Fortunately, the EU appears to stand firm, at least for now.

A plugin for Claude Code and Claude Desktop that predicts political events using Kalshi prediction markets.

Claudshi connects to Kalshi via the kalshi-mcp MCP server to scan markets, analyze political events, estimate probabilities, place bets on mispriced markets, and monitor open positions.

OPH is a reconstruction program for fundamental physics. Spacetime, gauge structure, particles, records, and observer synchronization are treated as consequences of the OPH package rooted in overlap consistency on a finite holographic screen, together with the explicit branch premises stated in the papers.

Ok, bear with me for a moment - what if the US would use actual physical gold coins instead of dollars? Then your argument of "gold would flow out" would not hold - so the only reason for it to flow out was that the gold standard was fake - the lax money policy of the US was the issue, not the gold standard itself.

The subject appears to be a single individual of medium to stocky build. Based on proportions relative to the archway and Nest doorbell mount height, the individual is estimated at approximately 5’8” to 6’0” tall. Their build is medium to heavy-set, with solid shoulders and torso. The overall physique and movement patterns suggest a male or masculine-presenting adult, likely between 20–45 years of age.

Guys, yesterday I spent some time convincing an LLM model from a leading provider that 2 cards plus 2 cards is 4 cards which is one short of a flush. I think we are not too close to a singularity, as it stands.

These product might be great, but seriously, who's choosing those names? Trainium, Inferentia? It's like let's just take the words from what they do, and put a little Latin twist on them? I know naming things is one of the great problems in computer science, but really they could come up with something a little better.

Just to be fair, they compare every congressperson who becomes a leader with a “regular” (non-leader) congressperson who entered Congress in the same year and is from the same political party. Alternative view: people who becomes leaders are just more capable and better at selecting stocks?

Here's my attempt (ChatGPT deep research). Each country is weighted by a factor derived from the tourism data:

https://chatgpt.com/share/68f00ad0-a9fc-800e-abac-584703b92a...

And the results:

Tier 1 — Global Leaders (Scores 98–100)

Singapore — 100

Germany — 99

France — 99

Italy — 99

Spain — 99

Japan — 99

South Korea — 99

Switzerland — 98

Finland — 98

Sweden — 98

Denmark — 98

Netherlands — 98

Norway — 98

Belgium — 98

Austria — 98

Ireland — 98

Portugal — 98

Greece — 98

Luxembourg — 98

Hungary — 98

Malta — 98

Liechtenstein — 98

Tier 2 — High Mobility with Minor Gaps (Scores 94–97)

Poland — 97

United Arab Emirates — 96

United States — 95

United Kingdom — 94

Canada — 94

Australia — 93

New Zealand — 93

Tier 3 — Strong Regional Power Passports (Scores 85–93)

Czech Republic — 92

Iceland — 92

Slovenia — 91

Estonia — 90

Latvia — 89

Lithuania — 89

Slovakia — 88

Chile — 87

Malaysia — 87

Israel — 86

I wish there was an index where not all countries are weighted equally, but according to their desirability. Multiply each country by some factor which is defined by how many people would list it as their desirable destination. The index where France and Tuvalu are both counted equally makes no sense to me, with all due respect to the latter.

For the full context, it looks like Henley & Partners is providing services like obtaining second citizenship, so it's in their best interest to highlight the US passport "decline". Further down they say "Americans Lead Global Rush for Second Citizenships", which just happens to be the thing they are selling.
