Thanks, that is exactly why I built it. The hardest part was getting useful analysis out of a small local model. Most of the work ended up being in the harness around it rather than the model itself. As local models keep getting better, the analysis should too. This goes into more detail on the approach: https://maali.app/engineering/making-a-small-model-feel-fron...

Show HN: Maali – Privacy-first personal finance app with a local AI analyst

I never felt comfortable signing up for cloud budgeting apps and having them store all of my financial data on their servers. I also didn't find locally hosted options that I liked using.That led me to build Maali (https://maali.app) over the past year. It is currently a Mac and Windows app that lets you track spending, budgets, recurring bills, income, net worth, and more. It stores all of...

The bombing, shootings, mass arrests without charges (and associated torture) will not stop if Hamas did that. It has been going on for decades against the Palestinians. https://ifamericansknew.org/
"That and getting the world, well, not on their side exactly, but on not-Isreals-side."

I think we're saying the same thing. We're talking about the public support moving away from Israel and for the Palestinian people.

The world is definitely a lot more on the side of the Palestinians now than before October 7. Israel has lost the public support around the world. Not surprising since it is basically committing a genocide against the people of Gaza.
Done. Thanks for the feedback.
I believe all of the Palestinians Repl.it has interviewed have come from Manara. Manara has a pretty strong vetting system and in order for applicants to be accepted into the cohorts, they have to pass a coding assessment, video interviews, etc. Manara takes strong Palestinian talent and tries to make them exceptional. This is the reason why they might be performing better than more experienced engineers.
I've interviewed hundreds of "experienced" engineers who could not code for the life of them. Not sure why you assumed the process is broken without first asking about it.
It seems highly unlikely that it was an inside job: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2016/07/24/the-turkey-c...

Yes, they have. You don't find it in Google News since Muslims condemning these acts isn't "news" and doesn't usually get covered by the media.

Muslim leaders and organizations around the world condemning the attack: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/46-examples-of-muslim-out...

Some of the greatest Muslim scholars (who the masses follow) had to say about it: http://www.onislam.net/english/shariah/special-coverage/4816...

We're looking for software generalists to help build our full stack, from the operating system and filesystem, to the Java management stack, and the GUI.

The engineering team at Delphix is composed of the inventors and architects of the VMware platform, ZFS filesystem, DTrace, Oracle RAC, DataGuard, and Flashback.

We've built an engineering culture where anyone with a good idea can have a voice and drive unique projects. Whether it's developing new abstractions in the filesystem, designing an architecture to interoperate with a novel database, or developing a new cloud paradigm for virtualizing data, there is no lack of hard problems and opportunities at Delphix.

The Delphix platform has already established itself as the premier platform for structured data management in the enterprise world. In our first year of selling, we added 50 large corporate customers, including many from the fortune 500 (Proctor & Gamble, RBS, Fidelity, Deutsche Bank, Comcast, Staples, Qualcomm, among others).

Is anyone else getting a 403 error? I think HN crashed his site.
"In case you ever thought writing, calling, or emailing your representatives was a waste of time, take it from Steve Hildebrand, Barack Obama's openly gay deputy national campaign director: "I don't think our voices are as powerful as they should be. I think too many people in the gay community do not push their elected officials as hard as they should. If you had 20 gay people together in a room and asked how many of them actually have reached out and either called, e-mailed or sent a letter to their member of Congress over the last two months, I would say the vast, vast majority of them will have done nothing. My suggestion is that people need to become strong activists, that we need to multiply by hundreds the number of activists we have in the gay community. We need more voices, we need louder voices, and we need to tell politicians at every level we're not willing to take their excuses anymore."

And in case you needed reason not to write, call, or email your representative: You will almost never be able to get her on the line. An office staffer will answer the phone (or sometimes just a voicemail box), sort the letters, and go through emails, responding with a form reply, if anything.

What those staffers will hand your legislator, likely, is a tally of how many notes and calls they received from X number of constituents on Y different issues. That summation, however, is what's powerful. In a legislator's very busy day, these briefs are easy to digest and send the most black-and-white picture of what his voters believe.

So yes, your letters and phone calls matter. In aggregate. JUST LIKE VOTES!"

Re:Programmer Time Translation Table on Sunday October 07, 2012 @05:07PM (#4624451)
I'm sick of this whole dichotomy of "architects" vs "programmers". It makes it seem like the "architects" are the brains behind the system and the "programmers" are just code monkeys. I'd hate to work in an organization where that was the case. I expect even junior developers to try to have a holistic understanding of the system, even if they might need some guidance from more experienced folks.

Delphix (www.delphix.com) is a data virtualization company that does for databases what VMware did for servers - this is a massive market, and we are on track for similar success. The product is unique and provides huge value to our users - in our first year of selling, we have already added 30 large corporate customers, including many of the Fortune 500 (Proctor & Gamble, Staples, Qualcomm, etc.). The engineering team is top notch, which includes inventors and architects of the VMware platform, Oracle RAC, Sun ZFS file system, and DTrace. We believe database virtualization is the next frontier for achieving 100x payback in IT, and Delphix is leading the way.

Delphix engineering sits at the nexus of three core technologies: databases, operating systems, and the cloud. We've taken the best and brightest across the industry and built an engineering culture where anyone with a good idea has a voice and can drive unique projects with the backing of a wealth of knowledge and experience. Whether its developing new abstractions in the filesystem, designing an architecture to inter-operate with a novel database, or developing a new cloud paradigm for structured data, there is no lack of hard problems and opportunities at Delphix.
