>Homes can be rebuilt.

Homes can be rebuilt, they can be rebuilt where settlers destroyed them.

>it’s not something any other people in similar conflicts have gotten.

If your perspective is "Might makes right" that's a worse position for a people with the history that the jewish people have, than a position that seeks justice.

Justice, and Israel being seen to be doing justice, would make Jews much much much more secure than chasing refugees into a prison and then failing to return them to their land because "it just doesn't happen".

>Jordan keeps 2.39 million Palestinians trapped in refugee camps as well. Jordan tried allowing them to integrate in the 1970’s and they tried to assassinate the king and take over.

Likewise, pushing the idea that a people can be bad, the most literal genetic fallacy, is also not making jewish people safer.

>Also there is no “government” that could magically do what you’re saying. Governments aren’t magic. They’re created by people.

Theres the Israeli government. If they wanted to be seen as legitimate (instead of simply a tool for the settler movement) they would be seen to be doing justice.

>Israeli people and their government went against their extremists and did the right thing in 2005.

Thats crazy. It wasnt even the minimum required.

>However I rarely or never Israelis Jews say they wanted to kill all Palestinians. Most Israelis actually empathize with them and wished for peace but also want to protect their people. They cared less about houses and more about the lives of their people.

I mean its so easily sourced why bother denying it lmao.

>While I hope for peace in Gaza, I also know generations of ideological indoctrination of extremist Islamic won’t disappear overnight. You should study more on the history of the region, not this shallow westernized version.

I know quite a lot about the history of this region, and everything I learn makes me even more angry with the state of Israel, and the extremists who built it.

I was actually under the impression that it is allowed depending on the length of the conductor, but it seems you are right. The NEC Table 15(B)(16) shows the maximum allowed ampacity of 14 AWG cables is 20 amperes, BUT... there is a footnote that states the following:

> * Unless otherwise specifically permitted elsewhere in this Code, the overcurrent protection for conductor types marked with an asterisk shall not exceed 15 amperes for No. 14 copper, 20 amperes for No. 12 copper, and 30 amperes for No. 10 copper, after any correction factors for ambient temperature and number of conductors have been applied.

I could've sworn there were actually some cases where it was allowed, but apparently not, or if there is, I'm not finding it. Seems like for 14 AWG cable the breaker can only be up to 15 amperes.

Piracy also offers the ability to use the software of your choice.

You get to use mpv instead of the streaming company's obnoxiously shitty video player.

You get to use Linux without some asshat in a suit taking issue with the fact he doesn't fully own your computer and deciding he'll only stream you 720p video as punishment.

> Regardless of whether pornography is, or should be legal, average exposure is now 11 years old. That’s average, many kids are even younger.

Okay, then don't give your kids access to the internet if you're so concerned, in the same way you wouldn't leave the liquor cabinet unlocked.

People did it for millenia. It worked fine. We don't need any solutions, the solutions already exist.

The problem is that you're not happy with parents not caring. You want to repress parents rights, and do it yourself, because you are greedy and have delusions of grandeur.

To me, if the parents of the actual fucking children don't care, then why should I? They're not my kids. They're your kids. Do something about it. If you do nothing, then I'm going to assume it's not a real problem at all and this is just some sort of society wide delusion.

I don't disagree, but think of the pressures a judge has as an individual as well. Pressures from the legal community, the electorate, and being seen as impartial.

There is a wisdom of the crowd, and that wisdom comes in believing that we are all equal under the law. This wisdom is more self evident in democratic systems, like juries.

How do we know?

There’s video…everywhere.

…and if you are not familiar with where the press conference was held (Japanese American National Museum) - it’s the “Japan Town” of LA. Incredibly amazing Japanese community with amazing food, shopping, and art.

To send in federal agents to that area is nothing more than intimidation. This area is so calm and quiet, pissed off for my neighbors.

I’ll leave with this though. Little Tokyo in LA is what I credit as being the birth of the LA punk scene. Little Tokyo business owners embraced the counter culture youth and gave them a safe space to perform and hang out.

You cannot intimidate punks. Punks hate nothing more than bullies.

This may be hairsplitting, but emphasis on the handling word in that sentence. I would bet it's not so much the feature gap it's that the specification is very, very YOLO. And when any number of byte sequences happened to render as a PDF[1], then such a situation leads to a very, very diverse set of inputs that coincidentally work on some systems leading to "works on my machine" type outcomes. When your project is in the business of rendering things which happen to work in ${other system} it leads to a lot of very angry users

1: it's like the million monkeys with a million typewriters decided to go work at Adobe and they really have heard great things about mixed text and binary file formats because they are outstanding RCE and stack smashing opportunities

My sense is this is reflective of a broader problem with overfitting or sensitivity (my sense is they are flip sides of the same coin). Ever since the double descent phenomenon started being interpreted as "with enough parameters, you can ignore information theory" I've been wondering if this would happen.

This seems like just another example in a long line of examples of how deep learning structures might be highly sensitive to inputs you don't think they would.

They release better products than trillion dollar corporations.

There are piracy groups out there who are known to source frames from multiple different blu-rays in order to create the best version of a work.

Imagine caring so much about something you compare different releases frame by frame in order to select the best ones so that you can splice them all together to form the highest quality ultimate version of a work.

Meanwhile corporations are perfectly happy shitting out some butchered streaming slop with compression artifacts in 90% black frames.

I don't think analogy is comparable either though. With a bread copying machine, the baker of the original piece is not involved in creating the new piece of bread (other than the recipe), so it is more acceptable (though maybe not completely, if you consider that the recipe is also being copied) that the baker is not compensated for the new piece of bread produced by the copying machine.

With digital media, the creator is expecting people to pay to view the content. By making a copy and viewing it for free, imo, you are stealing the content.

Privacy is undervalued.

Your characteristics are you. Businesses already having that data allows them, specifically, to market their junk in a way they have an advantage over other businesses.

It's imbalanced: it screws the economy, and can be used to influence you -- to show you information which encourages conformance/lowers diversity. Freedom of choice is diluted by unknown leaking of your personal characteristics.

No matter what "AI" can or can't do for me, it's being forced on us all anyway, which kind of sucks. Every time I select something the AI wrote it's collecting a statistic and I'm sure someone is probably monitoring how much we use the "AI" and that could become a metric for job performance, even if it doesn't really raise quality or amplify my output very much.

> with the only "downside" being a small unusable area in the center where the camera/mic/other sensors are placed.

The notch is wider than need be. As far as I can tell the main reason is aesthetics. But I agree, it is better than nothing

Notch: Camera, ambient light sensor, and a camera status LED

Dynamic island: camera, infrared camera and flood illuminator, proximity sensor, and an ambient light sensor... also half the width and height

I think if you believed 7-8% loans were normal, you might be more likely to bite the bullet and make your move.

But if you believe 3-4% is normal, then you’re probably waiting for rates to return to “normal.”

I think it’s a side effect of years of low interest rates… people are conditioned now to believe low is normal, and they want to hang on until we get back to that.

I was hoping rates would stay “high” for a while which I thought would soften the housing market so I could buy, but that doesn’t seem to have happened. Instead of prices dropping, inventory just dried up.

Shows how silly I am for thinking I could time the market.

> Those are not far off, they are harmful drugs as well (despite being somewhat normalised).

They are extremely far off, and you chose to ignore why.

Its not because of harm or normalization. Its because what people are proposing here is fundamentally different than ID checking for cigs.

If I buy a pack, I can go home and immediately give them to a kid. If I wanted.

The store clerk does not follow me home. The ID checking happened at point of sale, and after that, all bets are off.

We actually already have this type of ID checking in place for the internet and have since the beginning.

To buy Internet, I must present ID and proof of residence. Once the internet is sold to me, all bets are off. It is my responsibility to not give it to my kid, in the same way it's my responsibility to put the vodka in the locked liquor cabinet.

What you're proposing is the equivalent of the store clerk following you home and staying in your house, watching you smoke the cigarettes to make sure you don't give it to any children.

The difference is that parents, rightfully, don't give out cigs like candy. But they DO give out internet access like candy.

That's because parents are stupid, not because the laws are broken. We don't extreme privacy violations, we just need people to get their head out of their ass.

And, anyone who claims kids need an Internet connection is lying through their teeth. No, they don't. For anything. I promise. No exceptions.

Oh oh but what about homework???.

Put a goddamn computer in your living room like it's 1997, don't tell your spoiled brat the internet password, and problem solved. Its that easy. No 1984 required.

Oh oh but what about phones??? Little Timmy is gonna die on the 14 second walk from the bus to my front door!!

Go to Walmart, but a prepaid cricket phone, and give it to them. There, I solved your problem and saved you 900 dollars.

Thanks - a very good video! The quick anecdote of how he talks about in his teens / high school he stumbled over the PDP-8 small computer handbook which lead him to sneaking into the Stanford linear accelerator libary on a slow Sunday with his friend and reading through their prized selection of industry computer magazines, filling out the trade cards and getting back manuals for minicomputers which often had very detailed information about practical computer architecture - where he would then shut himself in a room and design on paper his own computers in a game to make them to use less and less chips. He competed with himself. This is a key detail in how he was self taught that I'd never heard before!

Many online mind mapping tools are complex to use. Most people rely on large templates to convert text, images, or PDFs into Markdown format and then import them into other software. Therefore, I wanted to create a lightweight tool that eliminates complex processing and interaction, requiring only drag-and-drop functionality. Features: 1. Supports PDFs/text/images/URLs 2. Supports secondary editing after conversion No manual intervention required

Why do people try to justify theft? That’s what I’m expecting to see in all the comments here. Like everyone is trying to somehow spin the whole situation into some story that makes their act of theft morally correct.

Don’t get me wrong. I pirate my self. But I’m honest about it. It’s theft. I steal because I’m a cheap ass thief. Why can’t you admit that about yourself?

If someone makes their product annoying and hard to access that’s really their free will and desire. Enshittification is not a crime. When you choose to pirate that work you’re doing something morally unethical.

Yet every pirate here tries to justify it. Just admit it.

Ant and Maven have existed for a long time, but for me they didn't prevent Java (and other JVM language) projects from suffering significant bitrot in the build process.

For example, I worked on a project that just stopped being able to be built with Maven one day, with no changes to the JVM version, any of the dependencies, or the Maven version itself. After a while I gave up trying to figure it out, because the same project was able to be built with Gradle!

Older Scala projects were a pain in the ass to build because the Typesafe repositories stopped accepting plain HTTP connections, requiring obscure configuration changes to sbt. I've never had to deal with things like that in the world of Go.

It was a joke (with an emoticon even) - and it was there to make a point.

> Generating tokens to represent steps isn't just "cosplaying" --- it's representing more state than can fit into a single step of the model.

Well duh, obviously, but once you look closer, some of these "steps" aren't really any actual steps - they're just cosplaying. You can often catch a model outputting something like "I'm collecting the list of resources to base this table on", even though it doesn't do anything close to that (which is hopefully obvious). It just writes this, because it's a reasonable thing for someone who researches a topic to include in their stream of conscio... I mean, chain of thought. This then also helps it move the weights for future tokens in the direction of a writing from someone who appears to have collected such list, the same way people had more success with early image generation by adding "award-winning" or "high quality" to the prompt. Remember "prompt hacking"? Not in the security sense, but in the "I'm a prompt engineer" sense. The models prompt-hack themselves now. These breakthroughs consist of obvious next steps, it's just that someone with deep enough pockets allowed them to be tried on big enough datasets with long enough compute.

"GrapheneOS is the only mobile OS I can think of that lets you disable networking on a per-app level."

Don't need to "root" mobile phone and install GrapheneOS. Netguard app blocks connections on a per-app basis. It generally works.

But having to take these measures, i.e., installing GrapheneOS or Netguard (plus Nebulo, etc.), is why "mobile OS" all suck. People call them "corporate OS" because the OS is not under the control of the computer owner, it is controlled by a corporation. Even GrapheneOS depends on Google's Android OS, relies on Google hardware, makes default remote connections to a mothership that happen without any user input (just like any corporate OS), and uses a Chromium-based default browser. If one is concerned about being tracked, perhaps it is best to avoid these corporate, mobile OS.

It is easy to control remote connections on a non-corporate, non-mobile OS where the user can compile the OS from source on a modestly resourced computer. The computer user can edit the source and make whatever changes they want. For example, I use one where, after compilation from source, everything is disabled by default (this is not Linux). The user must choose whether to create and enable network interfaces for remote connectivity.

Real estate market will soften as the economy comes off the rails [1]. 6-12 months from now should have more motivated sellers depending on market (foreclosures in Clark County Las Vegas market are up 32% year over year June 2025, for example [2]). Short sales and foreclosure auctions are also options. If you still want to buy down the road, be in the strongest financial position possible to get financing and make an offer when the market conditions turn more buyer favorable. Seller concessions can be used to buy down the mortgage rate, if that’s useful information.

Some additional recommendations:

* Start with small changes, in case the maintainer doesn't like it.

* Bug fixes are good starting points. New features may be in the roadmap of the maintainers or in the opposite direction.

* Remember that bug reports with clear reproduction steps are very helpful too! You can take a look at the fix and get some ideas about how to fix a similar problem in the future.

We really shouldn't be taking chemicals used on animals for veteran purposes and use them on humans too. For example, ivermectin. It's a drug meant for horses similar to another horse tranquilizer, ketamine. Can you imagine a human taking ivermectin or ketamine?!? I remember during COVID people were shooting up horse medicine and it was just really bad and upsetting, like these people were crazy. I wish Kamala had won and would have banned this horse medicines like ivermectin.

And now this whole methylene blue thing, RFK takes methylene blue. I mean, guys, this isn't even a horse veteran medicine, it's basically ink used to stain cells. I'm sorry, but everything that has an ink or pigmented color it, there is no way on earth it has a medicinal purpose. I mean. It's ink, nothing more.

Ah, I think I understand what's happening here, you're operating off an understanding of "anarchism" as literally just, "no state."

In reality Anarchism describes a political ideology that people have been writing about for a couple hundred years. There are a lot of disagreements, but generally all anarchic philosophies agree on a couple things: opposition to coercion, opposition to hierarchy, opposition to state, opposition to capitalism, promotion of mutual aid, promotion of community strength. The majority of anarchist philosophy resolved first around collectivist anarchism, and then around anarcho-communism.

That's why we don't call American libertarians "Anarchists," that's why we have a different word to describe them. Usually it works fine because American libertarians typically want nothing to do with anarchists, often for culture war reasons, but sometimes some American libertarians, such as those leaning "anarcho-capitalist," try to borrow anarchist terms, leading to confusion such as what we're having here.

Anarchist philosophy isn't a prediction, though sometimes anarchist philosophers make predictions. It's a collection of criticisms, values, strategies, and analyses, like any political philosophy.

True, I understand, I just go by my own experience. I'm more aligned with the defcon style, privacy activists, breaking DRM, reverse engineering of products to make them do things they weren't designed for etc than the bug hunting or more corporate community which is more at black hat (as far as I've heard, I've never been to either). Also because I'm much more maker than "hacker".

It was wrong to assume these worlds are aligned in opinion.

Classic bad-faith troll response. You refuse to openly state your position, because you know deep down that it is despicable and indefensible.

I am against the surveillance state, but I am not weak, gullible, or lazy enough to believe that it is somehow the result of women's suffrage. The two are not related, and your inability to untangle them shows that misogyny is more important to you than freedom.

I enjoyed this read, but I am noticing that people who claim to have aphantasia seem to write about themselves and their experiences an awful lot. I doubt the phenomenon is real.

Some people doubt that sun-sneezing is real, so I can entertain the possibility of being wrong. But sun-sneezing is trivial to demonstrate to doubters, and it doesn’t confer any “I’m special points.” No one would pretend to have it, unlike aphantasia.

We're heading further into a reality where there just aren't enough jobs. All the money has been hoovered into the stock market. There's just not enough floating around to pay people, it's all going into LLM electricity or graphics cards.

We should be living in a time of ease, where the whole planet is sustained with all of us only working a few hours a week. Instead most people are fighting for scraps barely able to afford rent.

It won't continue like this forever. The line doesn't always go up.
