Since I already wrote a reply to your now-deleted comment:

>You've just made my point. The reason Skåne isn't contested is that there are no living people suffering under Danish occupation of it. You've described the mechanism yourself: time plus resolution. That's exactly what a two-state settlement would produce. You've argued for the process without noticing.

Israel has explicitly rejected that over and over again, and continues to do so every day through ongoing annexations.

There will never be moral high ground for the state of Israel as long as it allows the settlements to exist and doesn't at the very least honor it's internationally recognized borders.

>On citizenship: Israel granting full citizenship to all Palestinians would mean the end of a Jewish majority state within a generation, by demographics alone. You know that. Proposing it as a "simple solution Israel refused" is not a good faith argument; it's describing the dissolution of Israel but painting it as moderation.

A jewish ethnostate is as morally unacceptable as an aryan ethnostate.

>On extermination: you've moved from "perfectly natural" to "perfectly predictable." Those aren't the same thing. Predictable means understandable given the circumstances. Natural means it requires no further justification. You've retreated and you haven't noticed.

No, it's both. It's predictable because it's a natural reaction.

Another clarification since a few people messaged me privately:
This is not just a conceptual architecture — we actually tested it using the official Claude mobile app controlling a real desktop computer.
The phone runs the model inside the official app.
The app produces instructions in natural language.
Our gateway parses intent and maps it to a verified local action skill (keyboard/window/command primitives).
So the model is not embedded in the OS and not calling an API.
It is literally the mobile LLM app interacting with a real operating system through a constrained execution layer.
We were interested in whether an official consumer LLM app (without system privileges) could still reliably operate a computer when paired with a deterministic action layer.

> For much of history, this complexity was invisible to Westerners. Northwestern Europeans assumed that their way of doing things, lifelong monogamous marriage sanctified by religion and nuclear families with male breadwinners, was the natural order.

Hard to take this nonsense seriously. Northwest europe was christian and there are plenty of examples of non-monogamous marriages in the bible.

> One thing became abundantly clear: most people in the world don’t and have never lived like Europeans.

No shit. Heck, even within europe it was known. Such as the areas controlled by muslims. It was known for hundreds of years.

> It’s easy to see how the arrival of wealth reshaped marriage: more cows, more wives.

This is true prior to farming. Those who claimed the best hunting grounds ( wealth ) or access to water ( wealth ) would get more wives.

> Women, however, do. They have a choice: be the second or third wife of a rich pastoralist or be the first wife of a poor one. It can pay to be the former.

Did women really have a choice? Or wouldn't it make more sense for the father to marry her off to the guy who offers him the most dowry? The guy writes further down : "Parents can also command a higher bride price for daughters seen as compliant and chaste.".

> Monogamous systems, therefore, may have evolved to limit the transfer of resources, rather than as a form of monogamous mating.

Monogamous systems happened in most "civilizations" to maintain peace. When you have a significant group of men without women or prospects for women, it can lead to instability. Especially in civilizations with large populations. Monogamy introduces a sense of fairness which everyone - men, women, fathers, mathers, etc can buy into.

It's why monogamous systems are dominant in every developed civilizations from europe to east asia and in between. And nonmonogamous systems are dominant in rural tribal backwards areas.

Reviewing the correctness of code is a lot harder than writing correct code, in my experience. Especially when the code given looks correct on an initial glance, and leads you into faulty assumptions you would not have made otherwise.

I'm not claiming AI-written and human-reviewed code is necessarily bad, just that the claim that reviewing code is equivalent to writing it yourself does not match my experience at all.

Ymmv, but I've found that you sure do need to import things eventually, and it's not so ergonomic because most projects just end up as mega-notebooks.

Just like Python or any other language that looks easy for the learning examples, there are still hairy bits, they're just better hidden. The difference is that the debuggers for Python are far better.

Mathematica is great for quick stuff, but once you hit a particular level complexity it goes crazy. In this regard I find it similar to Bash.

> If they're designated a "supply chain risk", then any company that does any business with the military cannot be a customer.

That's not how it works, they'll just have to show how they mitigated the "risk". That doesn't mean not doing business with Anthropic that may mean not using Anthropic for any deliverables or any projects involving the specific contracts.

The claim isn't that the LLMs are democratized. The claim is that LLMs are causing software development to be democratized. As in, people who want software are more able to make it themselves rather than having to go ask the elites for some. As in, the elites in IT now have less power to govern what software other people can have.

(Or alternatively, it's getting harder to stamp out "shadow IT" and all the risks and headaches it causes.)

Oh my God, is this 2001 again?

> All we know is that they did launch a missile that blew up a school. That's it. Just a little woopsies!

Ignore what schools are for and who are in them and what communities exist around them. Ignore that a school is clearly not a fucking military target. Ignore the workers digging through rubble and the reported deaths.

No, despite the past 25 years, the US and Israel's governments are not only trustworthy, but the only source of truth. There are no deaths in Ba Sing Se. There were nuclear missiles hidden in that school!

And, of course, I'm sure we'll hear next that any deaths were terrorists. And if any photos of lifeless kids come up, clearly they're some kind of pinatas or AI! And if their names and life stories come out and there are funerals - duh, state actors!

My country has completely lost its fucking mind. Which I guess makes sense enough after spending my entire adult life watching people basically shrug over little kids being gunned down at school.

Which, dang, that reminds me how Sandy Hook was also a conspiracy and I've had to suffer listening to the same exact "state actor" thing with that.

>doom can run on -anything-

Frotz and Zork/Tristam Island and tons of Z3 machine games cna run on a pen, on a FPGA based display and even under a PostScript file where the interpreter was done in PostScript. Heck, with Subleq and EForth some Z3 interpreter can be coded to run the games on simple hardware made with high school/advanced trade electronics kits.

Americans ranked foreign policy as the third most relevant issue for them in 2016, tied with immigration. [1] It's disingenuous to ignore that both parties have traditionally had mostly the same foreign policy stance. So you're voting for forever war, or forever war. How can it be a deciding factor for voters in this context?

But 2016 was different because Trump was the first candidate in some time to run on something even vaguely flirting with being anti-war, as he actively called out the endless wars of the political establishment, and argued that America first should not involve us wasting our money bombing countries half-way around the world. It was a relatively weak position but even that was enough to get 13% of voters to declare foreign policy as their key issue, tied with immigration. And Trump ended up winning their vote by an 18 point margin.

Anti-war is one of the relatively large number of issues that Americans largely agree on, but the political establishment makes it impossible to vote for, because you'll never find a mainstream candidate running on a platform that aligns with public interest. So for instance 84% of Americans think that "the American military should be used only as a last resort", that Congressional approval should be required for military action, and so on. [2]

> This is false, and you know it. But I will challenge you for others to see

Sorry but it's 100% true [1][2][3]. REsisting foreign occupation and colonialism is well-recognized in several UN conventions.

> Interesting. You completely ignored that Saudis back the other side (SAF),

You mean the saudis back the actual government of South Sudan and not the rebels who are looting the country? Are you really trying to equate the two?

But let's, for the sake of argument, also condemn the Saudis in this case. This should convince you that the US only cares about selling arms and doesn't give a rats ass about genocide. That's my point.

> Does the fact that IR's imperialism is regional, and anti-US, and not global makes it good?

No, it makes it lesser. "If not more" was your quote. Definitionally, it's not. It's Middle East vs the entire globe.

> It is imperialism

It's resistance. Iran up until 1953 was a liberal democracy and the only reason it isn't is because of US interference, imperialism and adventurism.

> Can you explain to me how this is a good thing?

Resisting the imperial ambitions of a global hegemonic superpower is definitionally good.

For some reason obsidian sync consitently empties random recently opened notes for me. I think it might be some kind of race condition between icloud sync and obsidian sync. File gets touched before obsidian gets to it so the empty note is seen as a new file. That theory doesn't quite hold up though because the same thing happens to me using the android client. Has anyone here had this problem?

> assumes I must operate in your world view "problems can only be solved once"

I never claimed anyone else has to agree with this. That's why people are allowed different opinions.

Nobody ought to give a damn what I think, the only opinion that matters about you is your own.

But just like I won't ask you adopt my view, I also won't go around patting people on the back for TODO apps.

My opinion: people ought to spend more time contributing to solving genuine problems. The world needs more of that, and less "I built a TODO app" or "Here's my bespoke curl wrapper".

Computational power. Without self attention, you have a sloppy implementation of something called a PDA (push-down-automaton) -- like an old HP calculator. With it, you have an even sloppier implementation of a Turing machine.

So (modulo a _lot_ of details) it increases the power from that of a "calculator" to that of a "computer".

Register your own domain, use a third-party provider to handle actual sending and receiving (I use proton, which makes the setup very easy), forward your Gmail to your personal domain address and as renewals and reminders come in switch your email on services to your personal domain.

After a year or two losing Gmail becomes an inconvenience; after a few more years it is nothing. As everything is now on your own domain name you can switch providers without affecting anything.

That's what I did about 5 years ago and my only regret is not doing it earlier.

I’m using this but using gpt-oss-120B instead of a cloud service. It has been eye opening when I realized the LLM is beings used as a compiler.
I asked it to add apple iMessage and apple notes support as I I rather have long responses, like write me a program ideas, not fill my iMessage history. The local LLM, which I believe has limited bash training data, does pretty well.

For example: I enjoy industrial music and asked it for the tour data of the band KMFDM which returned they will be in Las Vegas in April for a festival(Sick new world). This festival has something like 20 bands most of which I never heard of. I asked nanoclaw to search all of the band list and generate a listing grouped by the type of music they play: Industrial, rap, etc. It did a good job based on bands I do know.

I was pleased as I certainly did not want to do 20 band web searches by hand. It’s still at a bar trick level.
It gives me hope that an upgraded agent based Siri-like OS component could actually be useful from time to time.

sysexts are indeed a very interesting feature, though it really only complements some other whole-system solution since it can only affect files under a non-root folder location.

I'm struggling to see how sysupdate is really equivalent to bootc or ostree though. Sysupdate is just the sw-update tool from Yocto that's been around for 10+ years with a little more syntax sugar, which itself was just a common shared implementation of what all embedded systems had been rolling-thier-own of for almost 20 years before that. It says it requires an A/B/.../N partitioning scheme, which is exactly what bootc/ostree/etc is designing to avoid.

If you don't use the whole disks update thing from sysupdate, then instead you're just talking about a transactional package manager that is still in its infancy and hasn't addressed the many gotcha and corner cases that the dozens of more mature package managers have. It's not actually "transactional" in the sense of undo for example, it's "transactional" only in that you won't get partial install, which hasn't been a problem with any existing package managers for almost 40 years. All thier listed things you can list together for a "transaction" association are either things that are already linked via existing package maager packages, or are only useful for embedded systems.

I'm not saying sysupdate isn't useful, upper end of embedded design is pushing into the space where systemd is standard now so it could be useful for those devices, but it's not really equivalent at all to bootc/ostree, and doesn't really have amt applicability outside initial system imaging from a live disk, or embedded devices.

Foes, fiends? (Ger. "Feind" and Swe. "fiende" both mean "enemy", so I've always thought that's the original meaning of Eng. "fiend" too.)

Deleted it, yeah, I've decided it wasn't worth it. Still isn't, mostly.

This will be my last comment to you, I don't want to engage with someone so comfortable at defending genocide.

One final fact check for you: a state with 20% Arab citizens who vote, sit in the Knesset and
serve on the Supreme Court is not comparable to a state founded on racial
extermination. That comparison doesn't survive contact with the facts.

The settlements are illegal and indefensible. I said so already in this thread.

We got too deep in the tree. Nixon could have gone a different way. Many of the senators that asked him to leave had constituencies that would have supported their refusal to convict. The 33 gop senators representing the smallest states only represent less than 20% of the population, and they usually win by less than 60% in elections with turnouts less than 60%. That is where I get the 90% from.

> This is wrong.

No, it is not. Even hiding in the hospital make the hospital loose its protection (see here: https://lieber.westpoint.edu/legal-protection-hospitals-duri...)

This piece in particular:

> The ICRC’s Commentary cites as examples “firing at the enemy for reasons other than individual self-defence, installing a firing position in a medical post, the use of a hospital as a shelter for able-bodied combatants, as an arms or ammunition dump, or as a military observation post.” It also states that “transmitting information of military value” or being used “as a centre for liaison with fighting troops” results in loss of protection.

> Sheltering soldiers, even using floors as war rooms for planning is not enough.

It is enough for the hospital to loose its protection.

> Any response taken against a hospital must also be proportionate to the harm.

This is completely different question though: proportionality of response vs. protected status of various institutions and buildings at war.

Fair point, but the IRGC telling ships to turn around, as opposed to the ships themselves doing it (as per reporting) would imply that the Strait has been blockaded in some fashion. It remains to be seen if this is all a bluff, I'm just as skeptical as this would be their last option, but given the strikes on other Gulf countries, the threat seems a bit more plausible of actually being real.

We measured 62% token reduction on academic text with 92% semantic integrity.

Not a claim. A measurement. Live, today, on our own research papers.

How it works:
→ Local LLM compresses the prompt
→ Embedding model validates: cosine similarity ≥ 0.90
→ Below threshold? Raw text sent instead. No silent loss.

This runs as middleware inside CognOS Gateway — before every upstream API call.

Client → [compress + validate] → OpenAI / Claude / Mistral / Ollama

40-62% API cost reduction. Semantic integrity guaranteed or fallback.

Code + methodology:

So you struggled to improve velocity without AI tools, are you worried that using the AI tools as a crutch will just lead to a death spiral of bad code being shipped increasingly faster? I've only ever seen the AI adoption approach work on fully functional teams.

The concern as well is that by forcing the AI onto developers, they eventually throw their hands up and say "well they dont care about code quality anymore, neither should I" and start shipping absolute vibeslop.

This is (tragically) the reason why I remain a tab hoarder: the UI carries an implicit nudge (a costly signal of visual real estate), for my future self to engage with it.

In a similar spirit to OP: it did help mitigate the hoarding, when I began thinking "how hard is it to find this resource/reference again, should I actually need it?". And if it's trivial to google (and mnemonically sticky enough I can trust my future self to remember it), I can close the tab.

Wrong.

Companies with military contracts cannot rely on Anthropic-supplied products and services for those contracts. (Yes, the cabinet member who misrepresents his own title and name of his department also publicly misrepresented the legal consequences of the designation. It's almost like ignoring the law and just making things up is a pattern with him and his boss.)

This is great, but as convenient as Obsidian Sync is, it'll never replace plain Git (for me) until it has unlimited version history:

> The retention period for your version history depends on your Obsidian Sync plan. On the Standard plan, notes are retained for 1 month, while on the Plus plan, they are kept for 12 months. After this period, older versions of your notes are deleted.

Plus if you look at the commit cadence there is a lot of commits like 5-10 minutes a part in places that add new functionality (which I realize doesn't mean they were "written" in that time)

I find people do argue a lot about "if it is reviewed it is the same" which might be easy when you start but I think the allure of just glancing going "it makes sense" and hammering on is super high and hard to resist.

We are still early into the use of these tools so perhaps best practices will need to be adjusted with these tools in mind. At the moment it seems to be a bit of a crap shoot to me.

MOST cases don't make it to jury. They're more likely to be resolved via motions and countermotions and the decisions of a jduge.

To dumb down "operating system" for normies, they're probably going to say something along the lines of "the software that makes your computer work.. like Windows." If it stays at that level, we'll have a specific, discrete definition in play.

A broader, equally correct definition could be "the software that makes technology work.. there's an operating system on your computer, your cell phone, your Alexa, and even your car." Then yes, some people will think of their Ring doorbell, the cash register at the coffee shop, and other embedded systems, even if they've never heard the word "embedded."

The definition that shows up will depend entirely on a) the context of the case and b) the savviness of the attorneys involved.

Not a bet I want to take.

Women absolutely want the divorce more once they come to conclusion some aspect of relationship is over (typically the emotion part but simply spending less time together or feeling most of the burden of raising kids is enough).

Most guys can suck up now-loveless marriage trivially if kids are fine (after kids come, this is pretty standard path for marriages), heck we can still enjoy sex greatly in such situation. Most women, not so much. I know it sounds sexist, trust me I would be very happy if this wasnt true but when I look/ask/listen around it is.

As an cca older guy at certain age the patterns start emerging left and right, and my own marriage can see some of it, just like most other marriages around us.

Some make it, some don't. When it fails its mostly mixture of personality resilience of both sides rather than some objective measure of (lack of) quality of relationship. Its easy to judge but please be kind to those who are going/went through, they may have been a better partner than ie you and still it wasnt enough to sustain it.
