The hospital zionist lie has already been debunked time and time again.

What's funny, is that the zionists have provided a video from Aljazeera as "proof" that Hamas bombed the hospital, and said "it's obvious, go look it up yourself". (That's what pushed Aljazeera to make an investigation)
But the video was from an hour before the actual bomb was dropped on the hospital.

Anyway, here's an excellent documentary explaining what really happened, and showing the timeline of the events: https://nitter.unixfox.eu/i/status/1716793296217895156

And here's a long twitter thread showing all the proof piece by piece (it's 37 tweets, make sure to hit more replies to see them all): https://nitter.unixfox.eu/i/status/1715446129330925780

Even the mainstream corporate media, afraid of losing all credibility, just _today_ updated thier narrative to say "we don't really know who did it":
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/24/world/middleeast/gaza-hos...

Spoiler alert: about the type of the projectile, it was confirmed by U.S. weapons experts as a JDAM, which means it was supplied by the U.S. as part of its military aid.
So the American taxpayer is paying for the bombing of hospitals and the murdering of civillians, most of which are children.

> They are just blatantly pushing their anti-Semitic agenda.

There's no antisemitic agenda anywhere on the world. It's just a term used to silence your opponents. However, there's a colonialist agenda for ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Gaza. And this agenda relies on mainstream corporate media to hide the war crimes from the world.

Among frequent travellers it's an open secret that you will often get stuff actioned faster by contacting your travel provider via Twitter than you do by contacting the provider directly via phone/email/webform.

( https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34726322-post1.html is just one completely random example of the kind of thing I'm talking about. )

Elon or no Elon, this is wrong on several levels.

Remember we're talking about private messaging a provider with your details and issue, so it's not like it's some sort of overt "public shaming" the customer services team into prompt action.

Maybe there's a(n implied) threat of public shaming given it's Twitter?

I completely disagree. She is working exactly how the system is designed.

Europe needs to replace the commission with a democratically elected body. One that is elected in a different way to the parliament to get a different cross section of the population.

However as someone in the UK we have the exact same situation with the House of Lords.

> the future is on buses and trains

Bikes? If you mean e-bikes and motorcycles then maybe. Buses and trains? No it's not and it will never be. This is a position only a green extremist would take.

A fucking horse is better than any of those methods of transportation.
There are two crucial elements a car and a horse have in common:

The first element: You own it (or rent it) and you tell it when and where to go. The when and where part is crucial.

The second element: It has the capability of carrying not only you, but also an another person and cargo.

The only transportation devices that can do both of these things are a) cars, b) horses, c) bikes (kind of... two people and cargo on a bike would be pretty tough to do, let alone with any level of comfort).

The fundamental, unfixable problem with trains and buses is that you don't tell them when and where.

The future is in EVs or global warming. Personally I've had it up to * here * with all the green hypocrites so I say bring on the warming, let's fuck this place up if you don't want electric cars.
But then there would be slightly less money for guns and old people's free healthcare and monthly checks.
I didn't expect people to not know that there are more then just accents when it comes to non us-ascii letters. Quite an eyeopener for how shortsighted people can be.

It's bittersweet to me that there isn't more Calvin and Hobbes. I understand the "quit while you're ahead" mindset, but I read some fan-made webcomic where Calvin and Susie were now adult parents, and it felt great to read some C&H again in some shape or form.

In business it's not about achieving your goals fastest, it's about not being the slowest. Just like running from a lion. This is why these businesses survive.

This is a common misunderstanding about market economies vs communism btw. In market economies there's a floor to the incompetence. In communism there is none. The ceiling isn't really different, but since there's a floor in one you will get a natural average higher in market economies. Pro-market people get this wrong all the time.

There are immense lobbying attempt by large tech companies. Otherwise nobody in tech circle really supports this at all. On the contrary, the rest of the industry is more or less unanimously against this with a lot of experts deriding the ideas.

whereas I think in common usage text is anything written and manuscript is a subset of document.

Although manuscript in pre-computer days generally meant something handwritten, nowadays I guess you can turn in a manuscript that was written on the computer so not exactly the same.
Faroes? I visited during Covid, so there was no need to try staying out late.

But the population of the whole country is 1/100 of Seattle. Buses in some place during the day, and taxis at other times, is proportionate to what's available in Copenhagen.

I grew up in a small village in England. Choices for a night out were staying over at a friend's house (much preferable) or splitting the £15 taxi between several teenagers, which was a decent price as far as our parents were concerned. (Or walking for two hours and keeping the money, don't tell mum.)

Remember, in the UK you don't get rich by working, you get rich by starting off rich.

Everything is stacked against you if you start off with no funds. Especially if you get into the rent trap and the car trap.

I was still in the negative at 30.

If you were able to buy a property in your early 20s (ie. someone gave you the money) then you could easily be over 100k by 30. You don't mention whether you own your house or not. If you do then a £40k/year lifestyle living in your own home seems ridiculously lavish. Or you could consider your house an investment and I guess put it under ISA as you won't get taxed on liquidating your home.

If you were actually aware of FIRE at 20, made it a goal, didn't buy a car, bought a modest flat or something in a city, then I think this is quite doable. Only the rich can have their cake and eat it too, though.
I don't know what the correct codepoint is but it certainly isn't deprecated in the language and that's the bit that counts, historic compatibility wasn't part of ASCII and that's what caused this. 'ij' takes the same spot as the Greek letter 'y' in the Dutch alphabet and that's what stops this from being resolved to everybody's satisfaction. "Those using 'y'" -> people who didn't have a choice in the matter because the official that made the change did so without their consent in a couple of cases and once it is on your birth certificate good luck trying to change it retroactively across all of your documentation.

More than you ever wanted to know about 'IJ':

I still have a typewriter that has it as a single letter.
I don't know when that page was written, but there were other developers that were using XUL before it was deprecated. The only one that comes in mind right now is ActiveState and their Komodo Edit/IDE. But there used to be more developers and I recall their being a dedicated page that listed those other products built on XUL.

The documentation of it, and the jump in complexity when it came to XPCOM (which were written in C++), were the reason (in my opinion) why platforms like Electron got popular instead of XUL.

Is h2g2 still on the minds of people that age? When I got into it, to the eyes of a teen it seemed as if it had been there forever (1). Not quite as much as LoTR but well established nonetheless. But actually it was still in its increasingly inaccurately named phase, so it would still get an attention refresh from time to time. Decades passing with the only attention refresh being a not terribly well received movie, I suspect that much of the awareness we are prone to take for granted simply does not exist in people who only know the 20th century from hearsay (which brings us back to Watterson I guess, the topic of absent "attention refresh").

((1) and already established in book form, its radio origins already relegated to fan trivia - it was years after reading the books that I realized that I had actually heard quite a bit of it in radio form before, enjoying it to the point of deliberately tuning in each week, without committing the name of the show to memory. Not the original radio show buy a german language production, would be interesting to see where on the spectrum between original show and "radiofication" of the books those episodes were, I don't think they made that show before the books became a radiant success)
> Only the US lays its cities out to require cars

I don't know where this comes from, other than the usual "US bad". Go to Johannesburg and live in a regular estate without a car.
Same goes for airline tickets. When you buy a ticket, the travel agency says that you should write your name exactly as in your passport, but on the ticket and boarding pass they then change it: Hyphenation is removed as well as accents.
I'm sure I read a theory somewhere that Judas was actually the true savior. We are told Jesus suffered for our sins, but his suffering was momentary, whereas Judas's suffering in hell is infinite, without being compensated by any posthumous veneration (quite the opposite - eternal vilification). Jesus's execution was just a sideshow by comparison - a distraction from the true sacrifice.
How is it Israel's fault that they're embargoed by other neighboring states? And what's been keeping all the other states from supplying those basic essentials? Last I heard, they got a lot of humanitarian supplies from many other countries worldwide, even as far away as Japan.

AFAICT, Israel would rather just not deal with them at all. Countries shouldn't be forced to annex their neighbors and administer them. Didn't they even try to get Egypt to take Gaza back, and Egypt refused?

I'm sorry, this doesn't fit the definition of "occupation" at all.
I think most Dutch people nowadays think of that as two letters: i-j. It's called a "long ij", as a counterpart to the "short ei" (same pronunciation), which definitely is considered two letters.

The only place where the difference between 1 letter and 2 letters still is visible is in names that start with a long ij, because of the capitalization. E.g. the name of the city IJmuiden is written like that and not as Ijmuiden.

In handwriting it's written as one character, but I think that's just a ligature: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/IJ_(digraaf)#/media/Bestand:IJ...

You need the driving data to contain that, too, not just the accident data to create similar driving profiles. Might not be so easy.
>> "if you excluded humans that drink, text, have anger issues etc. then the humans probably win out."

> The goal here is not to see who is the best under imaginary conditions, it's to determine whether driverless cars are safe in real life as currently deployed.

But the cars are constrained within specific geographic zones. Ignoring anything else, that alone lead to many assumptions that need to be taken into consideration.

This isn't "real world". This is more like open air lab expirement, where some subjects (Waymo) have special constraints. The drivers they're comparing against, don't share the same constraints.
You can't draw a generic statement from that, no matter how you twist it.

This is a marketing stunt first and foremost.
Well, who is surprised?
If you're saying the police is massively overfunded, yeah. Officers also already often face quotas in many places, so you already know the answer to that question.

But the better question is why would you need to have overpaid humans drive around in cars to catch speeding violations? In most of Europe you almost never get stopped by cops for traffic violations. Most speeding violations are caught by stationary radar traps, a machine can run the plates and send you the ticket by mail, including a pretty picture of the driver of the car if you want to dispute who drove it. Sometimes there are similar traps activated by passing a red light. It'll even tell you how the long the light had been red when you passed it.

This is true - where I live only the relatively wealthy can afford close enough to schools to cycle to them. Anyone on a regular salary has to drive in.
I'm trying to understand the clustering code but not doing too well.

So does this take each row from the DB, convert to a numpy array (?), then uses an existing model called MiniBatchKMeans (?) to go over that array and generate a bunch of labels. Then add it to a dictionary and print to console.
You are sure? There are almost none, that's the point!
Hm, to be honest this sounds more like 80% to me, but is still in a state where I might consider one soonish.
My first name in Italian is made of two words. That is not uncommon in Italy, but I usually write it as a single word otherwise non-Italians would assume that the second part is a second name, and address me with only the first part of my name, which I find somehow annoying.

Even better, when I was a kid and I got my first official document, the national healthcare card, the software in use did not allow a space character in the first name. The operator then decided to add a hyphen to enter the two parts of my name as separate words.

Fast forward many years, and I my first name shows up with the hyphen on the ID card and healthcare card, while it does not contain the hyphen on the driving license, which of course I got much later when software had improved.

Generally this is a non issue, nobody ever said that it's not me because there is a hyphen or a space in my name, however when I signed the mortgage for my house, the layer asked me to sign with the hyphen, and in the document he wrote both variants of my name with an A.K.A. clause.

Yes, it's changing. Fortunately 'my' branch of the family picked 'ij' so we're in the clear ;) But for some of the older members it is causing all kinds of trouble, especially when interacting with the authorities, more so if one set of documents uses 'ij' and another through accidents of history uses 'y'. Some schools even teach 'ij' as the 25th letter of our alphabet, when they really should be using 'y' for that spot and 'ij' as a two letter combination.

Also, when spelling words people use 'ij' as a single letter for instance a Dutch person would spell 'mijn' as 'm', 'ij', 'n' (and they would likely not say 'lange ij' because there is no word 'mein' in Dutch.

It also causes no end of trouble with storing and searching because a Dutch person might expect IJ to be sorted after 'X' but instead it appears sorted as the combination I J . The fact that different reference works use different methods doesn't help either.
This is a blessing for them. Now they have an excuse to "regulate" AI. I doubt they'd try to ban local models entirely (even for them, that's ridiculous), but the accusation will offer a convenient way to harass sites offering them
Sorry, €1k per square meter.

You are looking at the cheapest thing to build. Not at all what a townhouse in a city would cost, for example. You cannot just remove all neighbouring walls etc., so really need to do quite extensive work when re-doing things. So, 300 sqm at 1k is a lot of money. When people bought the houses they were often cheap compared to today, so income hasn't grown with property value.

Yep, this is true, but I spent years working on AS/400 systems dealing with this exact issue. The thing is that the data isn't stored on a standard file-system. The record definition can be updated, in most situations, without modifying the application code very much at all. This isn't like an app that most people these days have experience with. IBM did everything they could so, if you followed the guidelines when the code was written, it was minimally painful to fix stuff like this in the future.

Everyone (including me) loves to give IBM shit, but they do actually know what they're doing when it comes to this stuff. There are many lessons and examples from mid-range and mainframe servers from IBM that are either ignored or re-invented in modern tech.
> People seem to talk more about infinite scaling is a fool's errand. I say so is specialising without seeing the forest first.

I started first disagreeing with your point, but I think this last sentences captured what sticked to me. That's similar to the rule of three practice (three strikes and you refactor).

I find it's always hard to keep the whole team aware of the forest, maybe that's why I've seen many premature specialization.

How do we keep a team aware of the forest?

I use Waymos in SF. For every Waymo trip I do maybe 8 e-bike trips and 20 walking commutes. I’ve taken Waymos to BART stations. Waymo has just replaced Uber for trips in SF for me.

It would be nice if the city added more BART coverage but it seems unlikely
one will ever be added within 10min walk of my house. There is already one 10min e-bike ride, but I’m not comfortable locking my e-bike there.

To bus to the BART station is 10min walk + 3min wait avg then 10min on bus.

Uber/Lyft/Waymo will always be part of my commuting solution for where I live. I just happen to find Waymo the more pleasant experience.
