15. Knock at the Cabin (2023). I think my theme for this week is gonna be releases from this year. This feels like a pretty gutsy move from Shyamalan, although after the movie I accidentally spoiled myself on the plot of the original novel and it's very, very funny how the two diverge.

One part of the enshittification process that @pluralistic leaves out of his equation is third-party developers. Developers are like the canaries in the enshittification coalmine.
They create a huge part of the value of a platform for both end users and businesses.
Platforms encourage this value creation in the ecosystem, and cherry-pick the best apps to either clone or acquire.
Then, they shiv developers with an API TOS change.

Turns out it's a vast universe out there. Right now I'm feeling overwhelmed with new terminology, brands I never heard of, unfamiliar approaches and problems I never knew I could have :-) Let's see if I can make sense of it.

As it turns out, Oxide and Friends was called out by another podcast, Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs, for some of our unvarnished thoughts on C++! We're fans of ADSP, so tomorrow @ahl and I will be joined by Conor Hoekstra, co-host of ADSP. We'll settle the beef between our podcasts -- and we'll hit on some bigger themes on tribalism in tech, the underlying fears that feed it, and what we can all do to moderate it.
Join us, 5p Pacific:

"A student on the same campus, Sam Klein, 20, also described feeling out of place. In the “Instagram activism” of his peers, the posting of Israeli flags and “Stand With Israel” videos, he sees no substantive discussion about the sources of the conflict. In the Israeli press, there is an open debate about the government’s policies toward Palestinians and whether they have led to horrific consequences, but that debate is not happening in the U.S."

"After Hamas’s attack last weekend, a member of the Israeli parliament, Ayman Odeh, among the most prominent leaders of Israel’s Palestinian citizens, declared, “It is absolutely forbidden to accept any attacks on the innocent.”Tragically, this vision of ethical resistance is being repudiated by some pro-Palestinian activists in the United States."

"Histotripsy works by using targeted ultrasound waves to form microbubbles within the tumor. The forces created as those bubbles form and collapse cause the mass to break apart, killing tumor cells and leaving the debris to be cleaned up by the immune system.
What that could mean for patients is treatment without the physical toll of radiation or chemotherapy, fewer concerns with drug compatibility, far shorter recovery times than with surgery and less treatment discomfort.

This is possible because it is much easier to ensure that histotripsy treatments are hitting the tumor, and not healthy tissue, compared to radiation or invasive procedures."h/t @bigzaphod & @lisamelton

"...when Palestinians resist their oppression in ethical ways — by calling for boycotts, sanctions and the application of international law — the United States and its allies work to ensure that those efforts fail, which convinces many Palestinians that ethical resistance doesn’t work, which empowers Hamas."
