Can I use this to learn about a complex private repo or how it does things?

Can you offer any insights how this compares to building an AST or RAG over your codebase? Several projects do that and it autoupdates on changes too. The agent does a wide sweep using AST/RAG search followed by drill down using an LSP. This sped up my search phase by 50%. How Will this project help me?

Your comment made me realize what a bubble of privilege I live in.

I raised my eyebrow at "everyone takes" standard deduction. How is that possible with home prices and interest rates? Even a modest 300-400k house at 5-6% interest, property taxes, local sales tax deductions and minimum charity would exceed the standard deduction. Where I live good luck finding anything more than a condo for less than a million.

Turns out 90% take standard deduction. This is another way to track the extreme "wealth" gap emerging. Only the wealthy itemize.

If you want to see this idea explored even more, I highly recommend watching "For All Mankind" on Apple TV+. My description below hopeful does not contain spoilers.

A Fantastic show for tech optimists, imagining a world where Russians were the first to land on the moon. This spurred increased investment by the US, continuing the space race, avoided the cold war, adoption of EVs in the 80s, massive action on climate change, and many other fun things. I wishfully think of "what could have been", and a world that seems attainable.

One of the recurring plot points is Executive action taken by astronauts in space, wars avoided and caused by their decisions, brave rescues and other heroics. In one of the episodes a characters takes such an action.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply and explanation. Makes sense. It is an emotional topic indeed and most threads devolve into flamewars without careful moderation. Really appreciate all you do for HN!

Its certainly telling that this post got "flagged". Exactly what the opening lines of the article describe: "we don’t have the right to show humanity towards Palestine".

On Android, I use Open Camera app with a custom save location that by default doesn't backup photos. It prevents going into DCIM / camera roll.

Go into more camera controls , enable Storage Access Framework, select custom directory.

Lets not pretend that there is only a single guilty party here. No doubt pakistan tried to control mujahideen to fight their proxy wars. Just like Indian intelligence has funded the Balochistan insurgency inside Pakistan. This of course all started with US asking Pakistan to setup these mujahideen to counter Russia in 1980.
