> If you're a homeowner, be sure that your fan is properly vented directly to the home's exterior via an insulated duct. "It was common in the '70s and '80s for it to be vented into the attic space," says Bayne. "Building codes today require that the exhaust is vented outside through insulated ducting to a roof vent that goes directly to the exterior." Otherwise, you may be contributing to moisture and mold problems in your attic or wall spaces.

Related, but I like how kitchen exhausts sometimes come out of a vent on the side of the house, so if you go out into the backyard you can walk by and smell bacon frying or whatever. (OTOH I once lived in a condo with an under-the-microwave exhaust that didn't actually vent outside, it just spat everything up onto the kitchen ceiling... a wet greasy spot accumulated up there before I realized what was going on.)

Historically in 1948 Palestinians left their home and due to ongoing wars were never able to come back. Effectively they lost their home. They're afraid this is happening again.

Honestly, I don't know if it is or if it isn't. But what can Israel do here?

Israel said the area they will target which puts its soldiers at risk. In the interest of avoiding civilian casualties. Israel already withdrew settlements from Gaza so the chances of this coming back is pretty slim.

It's a pretty terrible situation for the Palestinian people and it's 100% the fault of Hamas. Unfortunately, if Israel won't destroy the Hamas now this will happen again and it will be worse.

> Second thing. The best way to get tenure is to have such a huge group working for you (e.g. 30 grad students), because the provost will be terrified there isn't room for other grant writers in the department to get the money to support them and the lab you've built.

There's another factor too. More students means more papers and your h-index goes up. Were we to suppose that all students were equal and that there is a noise associated with the likelihood of publication and another noise with the number of citations then if either of those noise variables are large, you should maximize quantity over quality. Because you're simply increasing the odds that you'll hit a jackpot.

In fact, if you pull the data from csrankings.org you'll find that the first 30 (all I pulled because I'm lazy and not a web person) school's rank is practically a function of the number of publishing professors at that university. So the "more workers = more better" tactic actually scales from lab to department. If we look a little harder, I think we can all see the limitation of the metrics being used here and why they're so easy to hack. More importantly, why these metrics result in a dominating momentum force (aka. rich get richer). Maybe we should start reevaluating how we are evaluating systems. After all, it is neither fair nor an efficient usage of resources. If we're going to continue the trend though, the only solution is to allocate more resources... (which to be fair the pool of available resources is increasing year over year, but the allocation isn't)
I'm not sure what you're suggesting. That Hamas can commit a raid into Israel and then stay in Gaza with impunity because Israel is not allowed to bomb Gaza? That makes no sense. What do you propose Israel do with this "terrorist" (why the double quotes?) organization?

"General aviation" is the standard name for the part of aviation that is neither commercial, law-enforcement nor military.

If general aviation were to be banned, then as commercial pilots die off or retire, it would be difficult to hire new commercial pilots with as much experience as new commercial pilots have historically had.

Sounds like we're in agreement! I may have been picky about wording.
I didn't really say anything about the poster. I'm just trying to address the question and how Jews or Israelis likely look at this.

I agree with you "right to exist" is bullshit. A country exists or doesn't exist and it may also cease to exist if it can't remain a country. That's about it.

Deeply flawed methodology. This comment in the blog post summarizes it best

> Under the hood, [Kotlin] coroutines are runnables with an additional parameter representing the continuation, running on an executor. If you are not going to make any use of the continuation, you do not need the coroutines, you are just adding overhead over runnables and fixedthreadpools (which is what you measure).
I had the pleasure of encountering them in-person at Strange Loop 2023! They gave us an impromptu demo of some of their experiments in the hallway after the last talks had ended and we were cheering wildly with everything they showed us. It was a delight!

You don't have to. Amnesty has written about water in Israel-Palestinian as well, here is a report:

Israel is actually the one who forced Egypt to not deliver aid for 2 weeks and is limiting it now to just 15 to 20 trucks a day:

"Israel imposed a total two-week blockade on the Palestinian territory, [...], on October 7." Then starting on October 20th or so "Israel has only agreed to allow the delivery of drinking water, food, medicine and other medical supplies. Israeli security forces are checking the contents of the trucks in a transit zone [in Egypt]."

Both the UN and WHO say that the aid is not enough:

"There are families that are unreachable and are probably starving to death," said Abeer Etefa, senior communications officer for the WFP in Egypt.

HRW considers it a war crime and outright says it:

"Israel has also engaged in the collective punishment of Gaza’s population through cutting off food, water, electricity, and fuel. This is a war crime, as is willfully blocking humanitarian relief from reaching civilians in need."

Guess which building first demolished to the ground by Israel military in Gaza at the beginning of the conflict? No price of getting the right answer, it's the Watan Tower building that hosted most of Gaza Internet Sevice Provider (ISP) companies Paltel and Jawwal and their infrastructure. It was also a hub for several international media outlets, including the Associated Press and Al Jazeera [1],[2],[3]. We are somewhow supposed to believe by Israel propaganda that the demolition of the Watan building is necessary to cripple the resistance but in war truth is always the first casualty that further leads to countless human casualties.

Not sure who "we" is there, but as an absolute statement that's not true.

I see quite a few lots around here that used to be a house that have been converted into 4/6/8-plexes (depending on lot depth).
There's extra context which is the suicide bombing campaign by Hamas after Rabin was murdered. That is the true cause of the collapse of the Oslo process and the shift in Israeli public opinion from the majority supporting a two state solution of some form to the the majority believing Israel can never co-exist with the Palestinian Arabs.

I understand that additionally in some vehicles (not necessarily aircraft) predating ethanol dilution the evap systems may begin to malfunction at high elevation and temperature due to the lower initial boiling point of ethanol.

In the case of my vehicle it results in low/rough idle and positive fuel tank pressure which otherwise do not occur either at lower elevation or with ethanol-free fuel at elevation.

Indeed. Living without Android seems mostly feasible however, while living without Windows looks quite difficult (meaning: more jobs require Windows than Android).

The EEG space hasn't done anything interesting in more than a decade. I almost focused my career in the space when emotiv was first making moves. Out of curiosity, I've popped into a few conferences and they've all been pathetic. Similar to how blockchain was going to be incorporated into everything. A lot of hopeful possibilities wound up as dead ends.

Fifth generation warfare probably doesn't need a mostly useless and high noise-to-signal surveillance method like EEGs.

The short answer is density. Smaller fans are exponentially less efficient (that is, dissipate exponentially more power for the same airflow) and datacenters -- (and racks within them) -- have a power budget. The traditional rack-and-stack approach is held captive by a geometry that really doesn't make sense (19" wide x 1RU/2RU); if power is spent on fans (and in a traditional cram-down rack, somewhere between 20-30% of power is spent on fans), it can't be spent on compute. Density is critical, as DC footprint is often at a premium.
A VC which is a serial idiot will eventually run out of money. One thing to remember is that not all VCs are the same and there probably are some which are very good at what they do.

Another way of saying this is just because some VCs are not good at their job does not mean all VCs are not good at their job.

If AI-powered ad blocking becomes ubiquitous, it will mean the end of high-quality free services like Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, Google Translate and YouTube, for all of which I much prefer to pay with my attention rather than cold, hard cash.

I have no doubt that current AI is capable of this (in fact I'm sure it would be trivial for GPT-3.5 and well within reach of even locally-run LLMs), the question is what fraction of users can be bothered -- and I don't see any reason why AI would lead to an increase there.
> Do you have a breakdown of how many civilian casualties were in the north vs. south? And how many were killed on the way?

I'm not really sure what you're asking for here. The IDF isn't there yet, so they don't know numbers killed. The Palestinians do, however Israel and the US don't believe their numbers.

...so... what is it that you expect to receive?
Once you accept that imaginary number is not about a straight real number but a number about rotation. And you have two number that is not the same. One about straight line and one about rotation I.e.

X0 ops X1(another number system ) where X0, X1 is real

You can have complex number or a+ bi where i^2 = -1
And you can have split complex number a+bj where j^2 = 1 etc

The next move may be then not to q but to try

x0 ops x1n1 ops x2n2 ops … xi is all real but ni is a different number system represent things not on the real number. Of course you can do q here. But ..

The natural course is to cliff geometry, where it dimension meant something else.

Or even more other systems.

This is, I think, the difference between thinking of a quaternion (or a vector!) as a collection of numbers with rules for manipulating them, and thinking of a quaternion (or a vector) as an abstract geometrical object that exists in a space and has certain properties.

The fascinating thing, to me, is that for so many geometrical objects, you can start with a short list of straightforward properties, and show that they exactly correspond to the collection-of-numbers concept over an arbitrary basis. Oftentimes, if you want to do something to the stuff on your screen, if you can describe it in terms of the abstract objects with no reference to the basis, you can then transliterate that to operations on a bunch of floats in a way that is simpler and more robust than working with the floats from the beginning.
> The monarch is ... entitled to vote, no court would ever deny them such rights as they really derive from shared freedoms given to all UK nationals.

You seem to be correct that the monarch is technically not barred from voting (although they don't and shouldn't), but the Lords are not entitled to vote, so I don't think the reason you give is correct.
Great script - thanks for sharing
Sometimes I add seaweed, too- ground kelp is easy to add but significantly changes the taste, and with all the clashing ingredients it becomes more medicinal than tasty, but palatable enough and it feels good for a long while afterwards. Sometimes I just mix the kelp and nutritional yeast together with some warm water and drink that alongside the meal.

Dulse flakes, laver, kombu, and a few others are available from Maine Coast Sea Vegetables Inc., for one, and if Bren Smith (aquaculturist and author of Eat Like a Fish) has his way, there will be more and cheaper seaweed available soon. I've eaten seaweed since I was a kid (mom grew up near the ocean), and sometimes add a few strips to black beans in the InstantPot for the flavor (again, my mother's influence). My family doesn't seem to mind.
It’s still batshit insane to me that Google Fi had any infrastructure overlap with Gmail. When I was there these grand unified base layer systems everything else was built on top of were a point of pride. From a risk perspective though it was sheer stupidity in retrospect.

As Google continues to atrophy and suffers attrition of the original people that built those systems, the probability creeps up more and more that someone will one day cause a catastrophic global outage of systems that should share absolutely no dependencies but do because “it scales”.

If Google made auto pilot for airplanes, it would all be on a centralized SaaS with white papers published in academic conferences about the elaborate systems designed to ensure server crashes don’t impact it. Nobody will ever complain about how all of those guarantees depend on chubby, big table, etc.
Really interesting question(s)! Will try to answer the gist.

First, the system is designed for users to be able to drop in whatever hardware they want. So your questions are around my initial deployment options. These will certainly change in the future.

I chose Hetzner because of cost. I will probably end up using other providers in the future but Hetzner let me begin this experiment without burning my runway.

I use metal servers for Clickhouse, and small cloud boxes and LBs for the API. It happens I'm using US-based cloud servers because that's where my users are.

I'm using B2 + SQS because I did not want to take on sysadmin for those components. They are not performance-sensitive. Using B2 at $0.006/GB vs managing minio on an SX server at $0.001/GB was acceptable to me :)

Why use regular servers for the API instead of fly.io? Because the API writes data to disk, and then bulk loads it to clickhouse. This means I needed durable and reliable disk, which you can only have with actual VMs. I didn't want the process to be randomly SIGKILL'd since the process shuts down safely to avoid data loss, and I didn't want the risk of ephemeral storage. So to control all this I have to run the HTTP servers myself.

I might experiment with a PaaS for this, but it was easy enough to just set up an init script to run the daemon.

re: negotiating power - that conversation only happens when I have volume, at which point I will be able to negotiate with any provider.

re: points of failure/latency - this will continually change: the deployment strategy for today will be different than when I'm managing 100s of TB of data across thousands of users. The main focus is to make the system flexible to handle different topologies and to be able to change providers by updating a configuration.

Thank you!
Memory rank has been a real factor for performance for a long time. For some reason the topic never got too much traction in the pc building/tech world. Probably because most people dismiss it because it does sound questionable at first thought.
That misrepresents localized bombings on specific terrorist holdouts in the south. If you look at aerial photos published by the IDF you can clearly see the level of destruction on the north which is at a different scale. Despite that even the inflated numbers published by the Hamas don't correlate to the number of bombs. I think it was about 7k dead when Israel claims it threw 7k bombs on the area.

That requires amazing precision and dedication, bombs are designed for mass killing. Yet even the inflated numbers show less than 1 casualty per bombing. Those numbers don't separate the number of actual combatants that were killed (as opposed to civilians).

I'm not for bombing in general, I think it's a terrible weapon. But the ground invasion will probably kill a lot more civilians as it's harder to fight in narrow streets. Stray bullets and shelling kill a lot of innocent bystanders.

Overall, Israel doesn't have a choice here. The Hamas is still holding civilian hostages. It is still firing missiles on civilian Israeli cities. It is the reason this is happening.

I'm sorry for the Palestinian people but they will probably be better off without the Hamas.

People can make an argument that it is a genocide, and there is a reasonable defense that it is not. If, based on the facts, it doesn't seem to you like a genocide, then that's fine, but it's not like there is no rational basis for those assertions.

With war crimes, I recall there being some specific evidence thereof, potentially from the UN. It was brought up during PMQs in Ireland, I think.

> But that logic would've applied to the USA in WWII, so as far as I'm concerned it's not at all elucidating.

I think most of us:

a) Do not think this should prevent us from calling a spade a spade;

b) In any event, can see quite a few differences between the two situations, such as the relative power disparity between the 2 sides in the middle east, the fact that Germany had taken over or was engaged in active hostilities with...most of Europe, etc.

Maybe the US was wrong to bomb Dresden; maybe it was a war crime, and maybe it could have won the war without doing that, and without dropping atomic bombs. But that doesn't mean we have to hesitate before calling out similar crimes in the future just because we live in the US.
