Hebrew is a much broader linguistic phenomenon than just modern Hebrew. Hebrew existed as a spoken language thousands of years ago and has existed continuously since then in many different forms in different Jewish communities primarily as a liturgical language.

Modern Hebrew (or probably “Israeli Hebrew” would be more accurate) was then constituted as a vernacular fairly recently as part of the Zionist project of creating a new national identity, distinct from the existing identities of the Jewish populations would emigrated to Israel.

I'm Argentinian. And I agree with you, and that's why I left to live somewhere else ten years ago.

But. When I've said this in the past the answer is, why would we want to be that? People don't care.

.PHONY is how you distinguish between targets that are actual files vs targets that are virtual.

Seems like useful information to me....

It's best practice, though the only time you need it is when a virtual target happens to have the same name as an actual file.
There are very few reasons for a landlord to prematurely terminate the lease in France, and deciding to lent it for more money is specifically not one of them. In winter, you can't evict anyone at all (making money from ski town rentals likely means this is winter high season). There is unfortunately a lot of abuse, especially if the tenant is young and/or foreign and wouldn't know how to fight back.
What did the desert look like before this plant arrived? Because I'd struggle to call it a desert from the look of it now. Is it not a good thing?
If I understand correctly what you are imagining is some sort of local retrieval enhancement to generate a specific part of the overall response, which later is removed, once e.g. the generated piece of code (e.g. a function call) has completed generation.

Indeed, this is a form of LLM prompting that we are also exploring in our preview release channel with something called in-context functions. See https://next.lmql.ai and choose the "In-Context Functions" example in the New Features showcase screen.

With in-context functions, you can provide additional instructions/data to the LLM, that will apply locally only. Once such an in-context function returns, additional instructions/retrieved info is removed and only the LLM-generated end-result remains.
while that's true - you can't increase the number of tourists indefinitely. There are limits to infrastructure (airports, trains, hotels, restaurants). Therefore travelling long distance or to popular destinations will get way more expensive, and people will explore more outside of the popular destination or will travel closer to home.

I'm a recent immigrant to the UK from the US, and by way of example, I was really looking forward to being out of the American medical system. Then I discovered that the way you make a doctor's appointment over here is that you log into their website or call them at exactly 8am and hope you beat out the other people also trying to get an appointment for that day. Of course, the appointment will likely be just a phone call as triage, and then they'll sort out an in-person appointment -- but good luck if you can't use your phone at work for whatever reason!

What I'm saying here is: Until you've lived in a country, you probably don't know the absurdities of their own system.
Maximum of 2-3 months that a residence can be rented short term in any one year. This allows owners to rent their homes while they are on holiday (and demand for the short term rentals is highest).

Anyone wanting to do short term rentals all year must abide by the same regulations that traditional accommodation providers do - paying commercial rates, not running their business in a strictly residential area, etc.
> That doesn't seem much better than having the browser poll the web server on a periodic basis...

It could indeed be much better for performance. It means the polling happens over a (presumably) low-latency, high-throughput local datacenter connection, and not over the end-user's internet connection over which you have no control.

But more importantly, SSE only defines the interface between the web browser and web server. Rather than polling a DB, you could just as well hook the web server up to a more sophisticated pubsub system (although PHP might not be the best choice for that). In that regard, SSE is no different from websockets; the main difference is that it's a simpler protocol to implement, and only works one-way.
With CPU, totally.

As an example I can look at my own Sonic Visualiser application, largely written 15-18 years ago and entirely CPU-driven. Relative to then, it's now horrible on contemporary Macs for example - it feels far slower than it did a decade ago. It just isn't what the hardware expects.

(There may be an element of toolkit-platform impedance and simple poor design on my part - it uses Qt and feels quicker on other platforms - and I don't want to argue the details here, but I think the basic principle that you really want to avoid CPU in the frame update is sound. Preparing things on a non-time-critical path via CPU should be another matter however, there's quite a lot of capacity there.)

Hope you will be right.

I am always cautious about this. Very. You have those horrible compilers in the way.

I still dunno on which risc-v microarchitecture I'll start coding assembly (wanted to start on the mango mq pro something for a keyboard firmware 100% 64bits risc-v). Finally starting to get rid of those pesky compilers and system language syntax which are unable to be stable on the long run. At best, we'll get very high level language interpreter directly written in risc-v assembly. Just need to be very cautious about macro processor usage.

I started to code some core functions directly in x86_64, and I know it is only a transition phase towards risc-v 64bits ISA (porting from 1 modern ISA to another is still much, much, less work than to code from scratch). I'll enjoy the additional register space (even with a more register space consuming load/store ISA).

BTW, we still missing hardware instruction for direct memcpy/memset/memcmp in risc-v, that said I don't know if that will be pertinent in the end.
Plot twist: biological evolution works like that too.
Why isn't the answer to build more? Of course that's the answer.

Clearly there's demand for tourists to come and visit Dublin, maybe they should either tax the tourists into not coming (and hit the economy), or build enough room for everybody?
Yes, even Leonardo da Vinci made some very bad stuff.
It has nothing to do with tourists visiting. It's tourists taking up the local housing. Tourists are planned into any good urban planning -- but they're not expected to stay in the residential areas, especially while the local residents are getting hurt because of it.

The issue isn't tourists, it's where they're staying. Tourists are welcome, they're not entitled to live like 'locals' at the local's expense. Stay in a hotel.

> Maybe we should just build enough housing for everyone.

Except that won't ever be enough because more and more will just come. And there's already even a glut on AirBnB for tourists, so none of that housing will go the locals. Building isn't the only solution.
Airbnb-free is not tourist free, there are hotels, apartment hotels, hostels, resorts, campsites etc.
>It shows the Singularity as it happens.

It really does. I cannot think of anything in the film (or novel by D. F. Jones, of which it is a very faithful adaptation, and I think superior) that would contradict Colossus being a large language model. There is even a scene in the novel (I can't remember if it's also in the film) which is, basically, a word for word duplicate of the endless "Write a ______, in the style of ______" prompts overrunning social media since the public gained access to GPT and its cousins.

Colossus is a

* large language model,

* given access to all known human data,[1]

* including video and audio,

* which displays unexpected emergent behavior including initiative and creativity,

* and whose creators admit before said emergence that its complexity exceeds human understanding.

[1 The novel explains how this includes things like Shakespeare's sonnets that would seem irrelevant to its military defense purpose, because its creators don't know whether it could be useful.
That's true of every language, yes?

It always starts with `print 'Hello world'`, but it never stays that simple.
Businesses do use USD whenever they can. There's some mechanisms available to get USD, but that involves shady suppliers or very expensive market rates. But the issue is that everyday expenses are in pesos, so, it's usually not practical.
But the thing is, that the ghost of the code lives on. Many times I saw specific database designs, and technical decisions all taken to accommodate a solution that didn't exist for a decade or so.
An economists point of view would say there is nothing wrong with empty houses; and in fact its a good thing because short-term low-barrier agreements allow the optimal price for housing in an area to be determined.

They would then say that the local wages will eventually increase to the point where a worker can live close enough to make the job in the high cost town worth the commute.
> I find myself thinking that maybe if I’d been in civil engineering or something then I’d be building stuff that lasts, but speaking to people who’ve worked a long time in construction has taught me that it’s the same there.

Right. People who assume otherwise aren't spending much time browsing the relevant subjects on Wikipedia or historical registers or just paying attention to their municipality. Simple demonstration: look into how many Carnegie libraries that were built are now gone versus how many are still around.
It's like going into a restaurant and expecting to participate in the cooking of your meal.

Lots of people expect and do this all the time. I want this cooked like this, no this, this replaced with that etc. Hell, some restaurants just put out all the food they have on a big table and say "go ahead and put together your own meal with whatever you want, we don't care", and that is many peoples favourite restaurant experience.

In science the analogy is : “yeah this person did good work five years ago, but what have they done recently?” as a way to reject people for jobs, grants, and promotions.
Holidays homes exists because owners are speculating that tourists will pay a premium that compensates for the time that the rooms stay unoccupied and that overall it will be more profitable than renting it out for ‘100% occupancy’ to a local tenant at a lower daily rate (or equivalent monthly rent)

If a town gets popular among rich tourists and supply remains limited, the tourists will price out the locals (as is already apparent)

Zoning/limiting the number of airbnbs in proportion to the the total housing stock can be one solution to stop the tourist industry from gobbling everything else up (at the expense of the tourist economy)

Not an economist, but an extreme solution to achieve 100% efficiency, i.e occupancy would be for everyone (including locals) to become nomads and be willing to move homes everyday based on daily spot rates for housing and take up any unoccupied house that day based on what they can afford. (I.e a combined market where tourists and locals both live the hotel/Airbnb lifestyle). Sounds horrible though.

The apparent inefficiency (in terms of unnoccupied rooms/houses) IMO arises from the very real inconvenience and costs involved in moving houses too frequently. Contrast that with tourists who want to definitely want to stay in a city only for a few days. The two classes will always compete without intervention that favors one over the other - or tries to find some arbitrary balance
I am suggesting confirming if it is actually "slow" for the "key aspects".

You and the OP are just assuming it can't do whatever it is at "30fps"... if you're right, it will only take ten minutes if it's so bad, or an hour or two if it's subtle, to actually confirm whatever the worst thing is.

The "extra frame" I was thinking of is graphics pipeline latency, not redraw time.
Absolutely, yes. Medieval cities have an upper limit to them, and that upper limit is fairly close. (Already exceeded in Dubrovnik.)

We will see high tourist taxes introduced all over.

I wonder if the cities blessed/cursed with an enormous influx of people willing to pay high tourist taxes just to see them will develop something akin to "Dutch disease" = basically stagnation and corruption based on certain income regardless of quality of governance, which disincentizives competition, learning, investment etc.

The original concept of Dutch disease is based on resource-rich states, but being touristically attractive is a kind of "natural" resource too. As long as places like Rome can prevent street crime and keep the monuments from falling apart, the crowds will come, even if the local town hall consisted of mediocre politicians.

Mafia is also known to prey on tourist establishment. If the main lucrative attribute of your pizzeria is that the guests can see Colosseum from its windows, you cannot move your business and are forced to pay whatever protection money they want from you.
There's also the fact that we are developing new agricultural advancements constantly and I mean the collective we - vertical farms in Asia, new irrigation systems, lab-grown stuff and so on. Surely we can think of ways to improve agriculture while retaining our feathered friends
When I was living in Dublin Ireland, I was paying 1500 EUR a month for a one bedroom appartment, nothing special but expensive, the landlord say he was not going to renew the contract because he was going to change it to an AirBnB.

I met him a few months later and he was telling me he was making over 4000 a month. I can't blame the landlords in this case.. It's obviously the better option for them, even as the article suggests, the landlords can afford to have the locations close during the `off-season` because there is so much money to be made.

Some regulation around the pricing would be nice, but I have no idea how you would even navigate doing that.

Hotels were one of the few ways multi-unit residential buildings could get past the ubiquitous pests known as nimbys. Moving from hotels to airbnbs is going to reduce density in many places.
It is worth noting because it brings more self awareness. The 'weedness' of the plant is a property of human culture, and it is worth exploring what that is. It doesn't mean the 'weedness' doesn't exist: there are many reason we don't like a plant and want to destroy certain plants and some are quite valid, like fire hazards for example.

For example, you quote non-nativeness as a self-evident negative property of the plant. But this is highly debatable. It is not clear at all what nativeness means in the plant world (really) or if it really is undesirable. There are some common ideas around being 'not beneficial to biodiversity' for example, but it turns out plants are relatively quick to adapt and gain relationships.

Dismissing these perspectives as non-sequitur and not worth exploring isn't really contributing to an insightful discussion. I'm not saying weeds are good or something like that, I just want to convince you this actually is worth noting and exploring.
For a start, I'd like to immediately outlaw short-term rentals (outside of traditional regulated hotels, etc.).

Then we need to end institutional and foreign investors ownership of single-family and few-unit homes. (I don't mean this as a "wouldn't it be great if someday, but we're never going to do it", but I think the housing crisis some places warrants state legislative efforts this year, requiring immediate halt to new purchases, and liquidation within 12 months.)

We might first have to outlaw campaign contributions.
I wish AirBNB would leave Australia.

Even better would be house sharing either banned or severely restricted.

It is ruining our society, making renting impossible in some towns, driving up house prices, pushing society towards "houses for the rich, nothing for everyone else".

Did you read the whole sentence?

"The Dark Ages is a term for the Early Middle Ages, or occasionally the entire Middle Ages, in Western Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire that characterises it as marked by economic, intellectual and cultural decline."

So the term is highly disputed and what I understood from there, is that no historian TODAY use Dark ages to describe any moment of the Middle Ages. At least not the serious historians.

I'm not Historian, I'm computer scientist and Philosopher. Dark Ages for me is first connected with the Greek Dark Ages, or Digital Dark Ages.

Continuous Code Reviews Using Non-Blocking Reviews – A Case Study
The section on HTTP/2 is definitely out-of-date in some respects.

For starters, server push turned out to be very hard to use effectively, and in some situations could make things worse. It's been deprecated for awhile now, and last year Chrome effectively disabled it by always sending SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH = 0, which tells servers not to use it.

The HTTP/2 prioritization scheme was partly deprecated in RFC 9113. The browsers all have different interpretations, and Safari/Edge effectively don't use it. On top of that, many servers have TCP buffers that are too large to allow priority changes to work in time. RFC 9218 introduced simpler prioritization headers for HTTP/3, and it's been suggested as a backwards-compatible replacement for HTTP/2.

That's just in my area of expertise. There's probably more. It looks like a good book, but it seems it hasn't been updated in the decade since publishing.

> The problem: both approaches drastically reduce agricultural productivity.

We're overproducing anyway, with massive environmental followup issues. Switching to less meat would free up a lot of grain production and help get nitrate runoff from all the poo used as fertilizer under control, but that's politically untenable and the markets would just adapt to import more Brazilian meat grown on burned-down rainforest farms.
I used to live in France, and I remember hearing about how it's functionally impossible to evict someone who refuses to move out.

There are many horror stories of people squatting places, or just not paying rent anymore. The police won't intervene as it's a civil matter, and you need to get a court order which takes anywhere from 6 months to multiple years. The tennant has 2 months to comply with the court order. If after the two months, the tennant still hasn't complied, you need to get a "commissaire de justice" to execute the eviction (who is typically appointed by the court).

In addition to this, there are specific months in the year where you cannot evict people (November-April). Whenever a tennant wants to live somewhere for free, they just use that clemency period as a weapon and make the court proceedings wait from one year to the next. Obviously, "for free" means you still owe the rent after all is said and done. But if you file for bankruptcy and wait 10 years, the debt is forgiven.

If a landlord attempts to evict the tennant themselves, they risk a 30k€ fine and 3 years in jail.

In other words: your friend was most likely served an illegal eviction (it's also not possible to end a "bail" in France on a whim), and she could've just stayed put.

Edit: the reason for the fine/jail time for a landlord is because an individual's home is considered quite sacred. Trespassing is taken very seriously by the law, it's called "violation de domicile" for a landlord to enter a tennant's home without permission.
