It's good feedback, thanks! At this point of the game development I'm happy it starts and you can tell what's going on :)

Author here. This is a PM–Dev dialogue trying to explain how “time” can emerge from constraints, and why the arrow of time is basically “undo is rare.” I’d love feedback on where the metaphor clarifies vs misleads.

I see you are ok with what you are... Well, no harm trying - I highly recommend you reading this: https://mo-husseini.medium.com/50-completely-true-things-1ce...

Generalizing over the whole nation? Hmm... Where have we seen this?..

Just a fun piece I wrote :)

You haven't answered "How?".

OK. But you do say what Israel shouldn't do, and at the same time, you can't provide any alternative solution. That's a really convenient position. I don't think doing nothing is an option here, so Israel does what the electorate expects it to do, that's what I meant in my comment about overreaction.

Also, I'm not sure who you mean by "they". Let's talk about specific people: past governments are mostly dead, current generation was born into this situation the same as Palestinians were born into theirs. "They" (current Israeli population) can't end the occupation; there are no feasible options. So what "they" should do in case a neighboring nation kills a thousand of "them"? Again, these people have nothing to do with occupation. The kids at that rave party most likely considered themselves as far left (just given the demographics). I myself am far left; I'm a part of "them", and I'm against the occupation, but no one is able to come up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

So when you talk about "them", whom do you mean? Who'd you expect would find a solution if you can't even solve this smaller moral dilemma of what your country's response should be in case of Oct. 7?

edit: like, how can you overreact if no one can say what "non-over" reaction should be?

That doesn't answer my question, what would be an adequate reaction to more than thousand civilians brutally murdered, raped, etc? What Israel should've done as response that you would consider adequate for all sides, Palestinians, Israelis, and international community?

> what should Israel do? Pack up their bags and leave? > That is exactly what they should do: End the occupation.

If you'll ask Palestinians ending occupation means exactly that, Jews leaving, thus the famous slogan, Hamas charter, etc.

I think you are being deliberately obtuse at this point, so this conversation is over on my part.

Uhm, have you asked "them"?

I yet to see "let's end the occupation" call that resulted in a less naive conversation.

What you propose is not a plan or a decent answer to "how to end occupation".

What I meant is that "overreaction" is a subjective term. From perspective of an average Israely (again, my subjective observation) it's not "over" reaction.

So > the Israeli leadership is so easy to goad into over-reaction

From Israely leadership perspective it's NOT an overreaction, so it IS easy.

And in general "overreaction" is too emotionally charged. What would be an adequate reaction? Send us your X women we'll rape them? How do you measure "over"ness of a response to mass rape and torture?

How? There are generations born in Israel, people who have nothing to do with occupation, they were born into this situation same like Palestinians. Why would they leave?

My father is Belorussian jew, mother Dagestanian Ukrainian, I was born in Russia. I'm Israely. Where exactly do you want me to pack up my bags and leave? Because I WILL fight you if you'll try to deport me to Russia...

I consider calls "to end the occupation" a sign of lack of understanding of the other side, we have nowhere to go.

An easy check gives that Likud was formed in 70s while the phrase was popularized in 60s by pro-Palestinian movements.

Not that it makes this "who's invented the phrase" argument less of a strawman.

For the same reason I wish people would stop call it overreaction. As far as I see from inside Israel the reaction is considered spot-on by majority.

Imagine the countries as a set of microservices, each exposing the data they want to. You can get all kinds of dystopian with this, and from technical perspective (although being a cool solution) somewhat twitchy eye inducing. Unless you make an OpenCountryAI standard that everyone confirms to - it'll get NASTY.

Now imagine micromonoliths with shared data. Much more soothing IMO.

I want microservices where appropriate, and I want my world global. Geographic boundires outlived themselves.

My similar story: I wrote a script that tries all the words from a spellchecker I found as passwords for each user (a really naive dictionary attack). The angry admin did came as apparently each wrong attempt generated a beep on some station in their room (these were dos times iirc and the admins were just high school kids).

There should be a StackOverflow Streisand effect, at first, I peeked at the end of your comment to copy-paste the ssh-keygen string "solution".

Deaf people would disagree :) if you talk in sign language on zoom missing video parts would ruin the conversation.

I don't think it's about precision, in the case of audio vs video - if you remove all the even columns from a video it would be similar to reducing quality, the same can be done with audio - removing half of the frequencies uniformly will just lower the quality.

I agree that the parent comment kinda misses the point that social isolation is bad for you. But "we're not designed to process the information avalanche of the modern age" does make me squint.

My intuition tells me that cavemen probably had worse quality of life (experience-wise) than modern humans.

Information input risen drastically long time ago, what was it, three thousand years from "here, this is a knife, you cut here" to a full blown education system?

I think our brain elasticity is good enough to handle much much more before it overloads (or whatever are the consequences of "unnatural" amount of information).

No, the concept it was based on: https://www.britannica.com/technology/grey-goo

> grey goo, a nightmarish scenario of nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating nanobots destroy the biosphere by endlessly producing replicas of themselves and feeding on materials necessary for life.

Seems like old apps are vulnerable:

Well, emails are ubiquitous, send me your email via SMS, click, paste, send.
