> I have wondered how real the accusations of anti-semitism in the Labour party were. Is it a deliberate conflation of anti-Israel with anti-semitism by political opponents (who I assumed were Conservatives, rather than Labour)?

This is precisely what seems to have happened. Unelected officials on the right of the Labour party appear to have been at the forefront however.

I don't doubt that there are some people in the Labour party that might harbour anti-semitic views. Those people should be removed. However, the only word I can think of to describe the reaction at the time is "Hysteria".

The thing I find most disturbing about this is the willingness of those in power at the Labour party to target at least 35 Jewish members with claims of anti-semitism[0]:

> An 82-year-old Jewish woman, who is being investigated by Labour for alleged antisemitism for the third time in less than three years, is threatening legal action against the party, claiming it has unlawfully discriminated against her based on her
belief in anti-Zionism.

> The Labour Party has expelled one of its most prominent Jewish members – by telling a right-wing newspaper first, and allowing a journalist to leak it.

When you follow someone, you can mute just boosts from them if you like.

Other than that, all of these things are things people can build using the API. I agree they're needed, and I think enough others do that things will get built.

I certainly want to build my own algorithmic feed, because reverse chronology is already a nuisance to me.
This once again represents a sentence which omits a lot of important details.

This happened in an experimental setting, not an actual production setting. It was a net positive energy output when ONLY accounting for the energy input of the actual lasers, not when accounting for the mechanisms which fired the lasers (which had an energy efficiency of about 1%, although this efficiency could be higher if they used more advanced laser generator/whatnots). It was generated in a way that in no way resembles what current attempts at a production ready, maintainable, fusion reactor look like (tokamaks), and was instead, as stated before, essentially a design meant for experiments where fusion occurred (basically by shooting a pellet of fusion material into the central focus of a bunch of powerful lasers).

The LLNL is, and always has been, a experimental laboratory meant for primarily nuclear weapons testing and maintenance, and as such, have the ability to test nuclear fusion (via this inertial confinement setup), as fusion occurs in thermonuclear bombs, of which the US certainly has many in its stockpile.

This test, while a big "milestone", is the equivalent of building a specialized fuel efficient vehicle which gets 500 miles to the gallon by sacrificing almost everything that makes a car a car, and then equating that as to say that every car on the road will be getting 500 miles to the gallon any day now. When in fact, the only thing achieved was the ability to say that we've made a car get 500 miles to the gallon.
Doesn’t seem unusual that a top team would get more penalties
The public data on shoplifting in San Francisco is so useless that one store accidentally reporting all shoplifting incidents for a brief period tripled the citywide rate: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/shoplifting-data-Targ....
Idea for this visualization: Highlight every season for Messi (multiple colored points). Do the same for some other players. One needs to look around in data to learn more from it.
The way I think of it is that there is some hypothetical continuous diffusion process leading from the original noise sample to the final output. We could get a very good estimate of this trajectory if we took a very large number of very small steps, but that's inefficient and unnecessary. What we want to do is take a small number of steps, and still get a good output. The sampler tells us how we should space out our steps so that we can get the most useful information out of them. If you imagine the diffusion trajectory as a curve line in 2D space, you can afford to take a big step in regions where the line is flat. But if you took a big step in a curved region, you'd move tangent to the curve and end up stepping off the trajectory (thus getting a worse image - or at least one with less fidelity to the underlying continuous trajectory).
Yes, but if you have many fat tailed distributions, increasing the sample size makes it increasingly less likely that it's _the same person at the end each time_

Clearly. You can see the query times for each one too. Pretty snappy database server, apparently. Although why there would be a query like “SHOW TABLES LIKE 'SubsiteDomain'” in any application is an open question.
It's Qatar playing geopolitics. They didn't spend $200+ billion because they love football.

They want something big to show the world. What better than having one of the best players ever win a world cup before retiring?

That's how I see it.
As I said earlier, from our perspective at this moment with the facts we have today they're not the same. I also said Jeff is a master at the long game and nothing he does is for charity. WaPo has some kind of purpose, so if this is an angle that people pick apart then to me it's just good auditing. I mainly took issue with the commenter telling someone else not to post that. It's easily ignored.
I did, but I fortunately didn't have $500k to “invest” in a game at the time.
> the entire city had lost a ground war to homeless drug addicts

As a former homeless drug addict, it's less of a war and more of a massacre. Despite the fox news-ass propaganda you see on HN all the time almost no one chooses to be out there like that. When I see folks down like that I think what has been done to them not what are they doing to me. This isn't them taking actions against you, this is the consequences of our policies; chickens home to roost shit. If you can't tolerate it then you must fight to change it.
Thanks!! Looks really good. I hope we can contribute from a different angle by focussing on the creation of the policy and ideally expand beyond AWS :) Thanks for the heads up
Some people wonder how people will adapt to our Mars/Luna underground settlements. These types of places in our northern environments are pretty good examples of people acclimatizing pretty well. Several northern cities have a lot of their downtown area connected by tunnels as well, although not so sure how many residences are connected to those areas.
True, but we don't need to assume that without a prior claim, the standard for awarding copyright bottoms out at nothing. Copyright exists to serve a specific purpose, to encourage people to make substantial investments that they would not make otherwise if they could not profit off them. If the investment is trivial to non-existent, there is no reason for the government to protect it.
I thought remote drivers were supposed to handle such issues?

> this was an okay response because they stole from a big company, felt it was a victimless crime.

I wonder if Walgreens thought about hiring their own security guards. It seems to make sense to pay for your own security, right? I assume insurance factors into that decision.

There are a lot of people who don't have much empathy for big companies. They would characterize them as soulless profit making machines that squeeze employees and consumers as much as they can, pollute the commons, homogenize the culture, warp politics, regulatory capture, unfair competition, inhumane, etc.
keep in mind that even if football ability were (untrainable and) normally distributed, the distribution of ability among international players would be taken from one of the tails of that bell.
In the end it’s not clear to me that the winter range reduction will matter; battery learning rate is about 20% per production doubling, and there must be another 2-3 doublings (or more?) before the sigmoid levels off.

So, by the time 50%+ of new cars in US are EV, you can buy something with 2-3x the range of today at todays price point.

And the range today is not bad; on Friday I drove 200 miles in my Kona, in 5F with winter tires, stopped to eat and then drove another 200 miles.. like, road tripping is for sure less smooth than with gasoline, but it’s marginally worse, not show stopper, and is gap rapidly closing.
That seems to suggest that folks who have goods stolen from their stores would be justified in using violence to stop the thieves? Though the police doing it for them would be better? I don't see property crimes like shoplifting as justifying violence (armed robbery, sure, but not five-fingering stuff). Does it raise insurance rates for retailers? Sure. Does that raise prices for honest shoppers, yes also. So it's crappy, but attacking the thieves doesn't pass a proportionate response sniff test for me.
Yes. And that was a problem with parenthood back then too.

So he only needs to find 24,000 people willing to pay 1.8M USD* to ban a Tesla-sized account to break even on his purchase … while keeping Twitter interesting enough absent those 24,000 Tesla sized accounts to keep 15M users paying the $8/month necessary for his engineering payroll/budget to break even.

I'm not an expert on this topic, so I'd like to know as well. My own personal theory is that most people, whatever their intelligence level, feel that they are smarter than the average person and their intelligence is part of their sense of identity. When people fall victim to a scam—when they are outwitted—that sense of identity takes a big hit and it's so hard to admit that they were not as smart as they thought they were, that they were wrong about who they thought they were. And so rather than doing the rational thing which would be to admit being deceived and not seeing through it, they double-down, they want to find a way to make the scam work for them, to prove to others, but mostly themselves, that they were not dumb, that they were the smart ones.
Maria Montessori's "The Child in the Family" is a bit old at this point, but I really love it. Her whole philosophy is that children are actually ready and capable to do more around the house than we have come to think.

You've picked up on this already with the laundry. Kids LOVE to learn and help with things. It often will take a lot longer in the beginning, but over time you'll really appreciate this investment in skills as they grow older.

Another thing that I love about the Montessori approach is that it's all about building intrinsic motivation in kids. They need guidance, obviously, but instilling in them a self-directed motivation is amazing.

Probably the most important thing is spending some time on your environment. Do they have cabinets accessible where they can get their own plates and toys etc? Yours is still young, but they grow quickly! The more your environment is set up to make self-directed play and "work" accessible to them, the more they'll do it.
People dropped millions on tokens based on a celebrity's promise of those tokens being useful in a future fun game that lets you earn money.
I guess the game never materialized.
Spot on. This is pretty much the driving force in my life right now. I haven't been particularly kind to this body and the damage is starting to add up to the point that I wonder how much longer it will work and posts like these ram that home in ways that are impossible to ignore.
There’s a sort of violence that happens when your home or vehicle is broken in to. Or when you witness that store getting ransacked. Or when you hear about a friend that gets robbed at knifepoint.
Heating shouldn't take any fuel efficiency in a petrol-powered car since the heat is (usually) just a by-product of the engine's inefficiencies.
> Three of these things are pretty normal in big cities --- having your car broken into (it was unbelievably bad back in the days where car stereos were valuable), having the soap locked up at the Walgreens, and feeling unsafe after dark.

At least here in Antwerp this is not normal at all, even though there is apparently a pretty big mafia who like making grenades explode.

In fact, I can't recall visiting any city, even in other countries, where this is considered "normal".
Any article tangentially related to Mastodon inevitably has a comment like yours voted to the top, even when it's off-topic and adds little to the conversation. I'm reminded of the immortal slashdot comment about another "inferior" disruptor: No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame

> Why Twitter should feel threatened by this clusterfuck at all is a mystery to me.

Perhaps because Twitter has metrics on how many times the Mastodon links are posted and followed, and you don't?
I also hate the smell and look and fear of spending time in SF. However, does anyone know what the solution really is?

We assume it's more police and more charges brought by the DA. I'm not sure the data supports that incredibly well.

It would be nice if we took half a percent of the tech money generated in the last decade and built a world class crime reduction program. Maybe a facility (unlike prison) where you don't get educated by career criminals...
It is truly awful that one of the most powerful centers of wealth generation in the world also cultivates an environment where people can have nothing and be treated as less than human because of it, then be personally blamed for their reaction to that state. We should not have normalized that.
Thanks! We were partially inspired by it. Our approach is slightly different - we believe we shouldn't be the focal point of IAM but rather integrate with the existing tools organizations use such as Git, Terraform etc
No, I'm not aware of anyone getting scammed by He-Man.

It is if the needed number is more like 600. Or 6000. Without knowing the base rate, 60 is just headline bait.
That may well be, but it seems like the 15% is a high-level number that takes a lot of factors into account, such as power used by heating accessories, and the fact that cold air is denser (more air resistance).

My original wording was inaccurate, as it's more about ICE-powered vehicles than the engines themselves.
That being said, paid media pushes about SF being a hellscape are usually connected to a current political campaign; either to preemptively immunize the city from big spending on some crime initiative with big-pocketed contractors, or to elevate or destroy some candidate for public office.

I assume this is London Breed's office begging for the reactionary vote. Imagine thinking 60 shoplifters are a major danger to the city of San Francisco.
Sorry, most of these are not normal in big cities in the developed world, e.g. Scandinavian countries or Western European countries (I only have personal experience with these outside the US).
It is too bad they don't have the estimated reduction next to the actual, then we could reason about a transfer function between estimated and actual. As it is, when they have an actual reading, they don't include the estimate on the chart. We have no idea how closely they correlate.
Average January low in Oslo is 22 F. In Fargo, ND it’s 0 F. Oslo is at 59 degrees north latitude, Fargo is at 46 degrees north (south of both Paris and Munich)
Awesome, thank you so much. That is solid advice :)
I don’t even think initial talent is normally distributed. Take Usain Bolt, for example, he’d be a far outlier in a Pareto distribution for sprinters just on the basis of his natural heritage.
They're spending a bunch of money on this already. Deep pockets doesn't mean infinite pockets. Google Fiber over promised, and the infinite pockets evaporated.

It makes a lot of sense to roll something like this out slowly. Taxi service is a commodity, putting out a bunch of cars that are have negative ROI doesn't get you much over having a few cars.
Do you live there?

This is a genuine question; I'm trying to separate possible FUD from the truth here. I lived in NYC 20 years ago, and you're not describing anything different.

Wow, that's pretty brave! Congratulations for actually acting on it. I have a similar impulse but I'm completely tied down by responsibilities and family so no way to act on it. Especially having kids is an enormous factor in things like this and dealing with their future and how to best prepare them for it.

At even colder temps than that EV batteries start having even more problems, for example they become permanently damaged if charged at freezing temps or below, so even more energy has to be used to heat the batteries for the batteries to be able to accept a charge.
I visited SF in 2014 and hated it. I’ve been to many large cities around the world and can absolutely say it is the worst I’ve been to. Certainly there are worse parts of other cities but as a general level of crappiness, SF wins by a mile. I don’t understand how people live there, I don’t understand why there is no help for the homeless addicts and mentally ill people roaming the streets. I don’t know the history of the city (not American) that has lead to where it is but I do know that I never, ever want to go back there.

And that is based on 2014, it seems it has got a lot worse since.
Yahoo! did the same with Geocities when they couldn't make a buck on it. Still mad about that one.
Full disclosure: I work for Smallstep.

I love your point about being able to limit trust on hardened systems to your own CA. For servers, in many cases you don't need any CAs in the trust store, because a lot of services will only trust the roots you've explicitly configured (if you're using client authentication).

I've also noticed that Linux container distros generally ship with empty trust stores. So, a container distro can be a nice starting point for this.
You could use heat exchangers (coolant) with a thermostat. It would stay closed until the batteries reached a certain temperature then it would dissipate heat through a radiator. Just like a coolant system on an ICE car.
The amount of mental gymnastics residents (voters) of SF do to normalize the narrative of property crime, along with the horrific state of affairs for mental health and drug addiction, is absolutely wild. Especially given the amount of lip service given to broader social issues in almost every social setting. It is one of the most apathetic and deeply hypocritical situations in America I've ever seen.
I have never visited a city where any of that is normal, at least here in Europe.
That’s meaningless without a denominator. All other things being equal, the team with more time spent in the opponents box would be expected to have more penalty kicks.

I'm pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about. Carmack has been covered by multiple PR departments, sometimes simultaneously, throughout his career. Knuth literally has publishers doing that work and I don't know what you think the Nobel committee or ACM Turing Awards are for. That's their entire purpose, to promote these people for their accomplishments. It's not like they hide that. And what do you know, Bellard isn't even remotely as popular as those others. I wonder why.
> It is difficult to decimate another country when all of your aluminum, cars, wheat or salt were coming from that country.

Conversely if the supplier of salt and aluminium has a government that is acting in an immoral or oppressive way, then the dependence of other nations upon that supplier would seem to reduce the likelihood and magnitude of coercive action that might be taken by those nations.
I've always endeavored to be correct rather than accepted. I've also never accepted how people default to action instead of thinking. It seems that the tendency is to keep building more towers of complexity by forward-following implications, rather than looking at the overall qualities of what has been built.

I do recognize that this seems to be the vast majority of society though. And I guess it makes sense because deduction/determinism is much easier than induction/nondeterminism.

Due to this overarching dynamic, it's my ever present lament that whenever a topic I care about gets the limelight it inevitably goes sideways/backwards rather than forwards. Presently, concerns about free speech and critiques of the US empire are at all time highs. There's a store selling burritos in every neighborhood, and cryptocurrency is a thing. Me from decades past should be elated, right?
