Yes, in the per-connection settings there is a "privacy" option named "Use randomized MAC (default)".

Enabling that setting (which, as noted, is enabled by default) gives you a permanent per-SSID MAC address that is used for that connection. It's listed under "Network details" on the same screen, as the "Randomized MAC address". For my local home network, my "randomized", in the sense of being more fixed and eternal than the stars, address is 76:78:c9:94:2a:94, and I cannot change it, other than by changing the setting. The only other MAC-address-related option on this screen is "Use device MAC". If I switch the randomized MAC off, and then switch it back on, I still have exactly the same "random" address that I am required to have for all of time.

However, if you enable the developer options, you can find the option for "Wi-Fi non-persistent MAC randomization". It says "When this mode is enabled, this device's MAC address may change each time it connects to a network that has MAC randomization enabled."

(This is all on stock Android, on a Pixel phone.)

You shouldn't confuse the name of a setting with the behavior that setting controls. The name of the setting is lying to you.

Sqlite's "autoincrement" column modifier is another good example of this phenomenon. It's named "autoincrement", but as the documentation for the modifier notes, you will get autoincrement functionality on a primary key column regardless of whether that modifier is set, and the behavior controlled by the setting is something entirely different. ("Autoincrement" means that values in that column, once they have ever existed, may never exist in another row, even if the row in which they originally existed has been dropped. You may notice that this has nothing to do with the meaning of the word "autoincrement". Other people have noticed that too.)

That only works if 'both sides' are organized nation states. Besides the obvious geopolitical complications involved here 'might makes right' isn't going to work in the case of what is at its root a religious dispute over land. That takes any kind of rationality off the table and will just result in interminable attacks and counterattacks or in genocide and especially Israel will not want to be seen in that position. It would negate the whole reason for its existence.

You write as if a 50% administrative overhead is healthy. In non-regulatory captured industries it's almost unheard of. Even most non-profits that are considered the best by Charity Navigator have administrative overheads of <20%.
People skills arent exactly JUST get along with people. That would make Steve Jobs absolute failure in people skill in that niche criteria. He was genius at people skill in area like motivation and business negotiations. Vast majority grads have terrible people skill (40yrs in HR attest to that).

Reaching into my pessimistic, dark side - if we transition to most processing being done in the cloud, such that we eventually give up powerful devices for simpler cloud AI terminals in general, I could see the concept of the "client" side also living in the cloud, similar to cloud gaming. In that case, the internet would be more like cable where you just accept the commercials because you can also watch ninja turtles in between them.

That’s a pretty small earthquake for California. You’ll feel a 5.x but it doesn’t get much more than a passing blurb in the local news when it happens. Everything there is built for earthquakes, the damage doesn’t start until you get to the 6.x range.

This was my first thought when seeing the project. How well do we expect LLMs to work for text where words often don't have their normal meaning, half the things shouldn't be taken literally, and we have lots of contradictions? This feels like it should have way more warnings than ChatGPT itself.
> Protein present in peanut butter come from the plant that produces peanuts, which is just as alive (if not more) than microorganisms.

Right, but peanut butter itself is not alive. I never claimed that it's inorganic, only that a morsel of peanut butter is not a living creature, and specifically not a living creature that makes (most people) sick.

> Your immune system has no notion of whether an antigen is alive or not. One way or another, it makes no difference.

This is also what I was trying to convey, albeit in laymen's terms. As I understood it, the person I initially replied to wondered what would happen if your immune system reacted to a(n organic but) non-living substance. And the answer is that your immune system still reacts, but the reaction doesn't accomplish anything useful or necessary, and that's why no one likes having MS or a pet dander allergy. At least when your immune system reacts to a coronavirus, it's for a good reason—to clear out the virus.
Dude, why would you watch something like that?

I'm not accusing you of being perverse or anything, but what is your motivation and your reasoning?
They were blocked by Hamas roadblocks and prevented from moving. Israel tracks mobile signals to follow population movement and tries to minimize civilian casualties. Even with the inflated death toll from the Hamas this care is evident.

I'm sure you'll find lots of people at her school who know the game, but for everyone else who hasn't heard.

In order to get good grants you need to run "successful" experiments, which means you need to propose to find something interesting, but that means you want to already know there's something interesting there. That means you really need to bootstrap to have already run enough of the experiment that you know where it's going to go, before you write the grant for the money to run the experiment (and analyze the results, write papers, pay grad students, etc). You also need the money to run enough of the experiments for the new proposals you're going to write next so that they are "successful". Running experiments and not getting interesting results will lead to not getting future grants, because those handing out money have memories.

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. Of course managing this is such a full time job before even teaching, that you'll be totally overwhelmed and delegating almost all of the research, papers, and grant writing to senior students. Once you get tenure you can slim back down to about 5 students.

Also, if you come from a national lab or somewhere that gives you experience writing proposals (and preferably reviewing them) that is a huge advantage since you know exactly what the other reviewers are looking for. Once you write successful proposals and papers, you'll be invited to the committees and review other papers for important journals in your field. Of course a lot of this is again a bootstrap and treadmill problem.

Why would they only have a single launch for the next three decades?

They could take 10% of the JWST budget (not including launch) and buy back 6+ launches. Seems to me launches are not super relevant.

Genocidal activities with the goal of removing the ethnic people entirely from a region. I didn’t wish to “refute anything”, not sure what you are commenting on.
Ah I was afraid of that.

As far as I can tell, zero consumer chocolate products can be guaranteed to be made from just 'Uncommon Cacao' product, and not intermingled with other less transparent intermediaries, so it's of little interest to the end consumer.
The attacks there are mild and usually follow the prior procedure of warning shot before the attack giving people time to hide. In the south it only targets actionable intelligence e.g. the Hamas "navy seal" unit was in the south next to a port. That was a very localized specific attack.
Then you fundamentally misunderstand human nature, and eventually that will result in de-humanizing the other side and that in turn leads to genocide. Do you really believe that displacing people and leaving them nothing to live is going to result in people just packing up and leaving because that's the reasonable thing to do?

What should those people do to help their cause? Appeal to the UN? Sorry, veto'd.
As a Westerner, Japan was the first time I actually ever felt like a tourist/outsider. North America/Europe/Russia, you can sort of fit in if you're Caucasian and dont open your mouth; not so in Asian countries. It was an awesome experience.

Japan is great.

I recommend 3 things.

1. https://www.travelledmatt.com/miyajima-deer-island/. Not affiliated with the site but it gives a good synopsis of why you should go.

2. If youre going to the island, you might as well check out Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima. A bit of a downer on a fun trip but totally worth it. Lots of tragically beautiful things.

3. Fukuoka. The first time I ever had traditional, authentic ramen it blew my mind. Now its an easy thing to acquire depending on your city/locale, but that is more semi recent. Still, I think about this one ramen shop I ate at frequently, like once or twice a month. That particular trip was a few decades ago now.

> How can there be "most people in the know" when the Gaza strip is under the tight grip of Hamas?

If you read the article is says that in past conflicts Gaza Health Ministry numbers were within 10% of Israel reported numbers. In the past there haven't been issues with the numbers being wrong.

> Why are we even playing this numbers game in the first place?

I am unsure. It is quite likely that there is a massive amount of death in Gaza, more after this evening. I think those spreading FUD about the numbers are trying to minimize what is going on, sort of a way of deflecting guilt about it.

Some people say that the numbers are not real, others say that Hamas brought it upon the civilians, or others say that all civilians are responsible since they didn't over throw Hamas, etc. All I know is that it will probably get worse.
> With sysadmins, there are fashion waves, where they keep being called different names like DevOps or SRE.

I don't think the name change really originated with Sysadmins. Basically these new titles were created (with narrow definitions) and then other companies said "We are cool like Google, we have SREs now, no Sysadmins" so all the jobs had new titles.

Source: Me and my last 4 jobs ( Sysadmin -> Devops Engineer -> Infrastructure Developer -> SRE ) which are all basically the same thing

Don't get me wrong, there is a lot I like about academia. Honestly, there hasn't been any other point of time in my life that I've been able to dedicate so much of my time to learning and researching. Even as I'm in a long term internship, that freedom is slipping away. Academia is supposed to be about protecting that freedom to explore and learn, but simply too much bullshit took over. Bureaucrats love metrics regardless of the value of those metrics. Maybe I wouldn't feel as disenfranchised if I wasn't in the fast moving world of ML with where peer review is like playing a slot machine except bigger schools and big labs get access to slot machines with higher payout rates (I see no quality difference between works from different institutions, rather the arxiv wave primes reviewers or language/proprietary {models,datasets} also prime reviewers).

I actually want people to feel disenfranchised at this point though. Because if there's anything I've learned, it's that we don't fix things before they break or even when they are noticeably broken. Rather we fix things when they're so broken that they're unusable, and typically only fix to minimal usability. Which is such a waste of resources. Maintenance is far cheaper.
That is not a list. Israel publishes all the names and all the details of every single casualty.
It has exactly the same potential in the control and code-running respects as (minified) JavaScript. It’s overrepresented in malware because it’s faster, i.e. better for cryptominers. (Many sandbox breaches come from JavaScript’s complexity.)
You describe a time when things weren't insane, but describe Wittgenstein being seriously considered for a PhD for a work that brought us language games and asserts "All propositions are of equal value" as an example. I tried to scribble truth tables and manipulate symbols on a chalkboard to work out how this makes sense, but I remembered that there is no such thing as truth or falsehood, so I guess I can't really judge.
That has no bearing on what I said. Israel exists due to this goal to establish a Jewish homeland. This is where we are.

Einstein's vision was not followed and his fame as a Nobel prize winner doesn't automatically mean he had the best answer.

If only everyone were kind-hearted and well-meaning and acted in good faith and etc, then maybe we wouldn't need religion or government. That, however, is not the world we live in and being too "nice" can mean you just enable the bad behavior of people less nice than you.

Are you saying the attacks in the north are not based on actionable intelligence?
> Then, two days later they kick a bunch of Palestinians out of their homes and bulldoze it, hand the land to a bunch of settlers.

There aren't settlers in Gaza. There are in West Bank, and in the West Bank those settlers do in fact illegally and immorally force West Bank Palestinians from their land. On occasion settlers also murder them. But in Gaza the Israeli government forced all the Jews in Gaza to leave when Israel deoccupied Gaza in 2005.

> What's to stop a new Hamas to rise again?

Like it or not, Israel can easily get another 10 years or so of relative safely even if Hamas rises again simply by blockading Gaza after a successful military operation to exterminate Hamas. Which is a better outcome for Israel than the status quo, where Hamas will likely conduct another massacre of Israeli's in the near future. Not to mention, continue to launch rockets into Israel.
But can you change the names later? What if you divorce and remarry, or have a kid later?
Well, finally people are going back to wired headphones. And I believe most will remain there, because they are better.
These hot germ rockets are bad enough on their own, and then they also deprive you of a nice clean paper towel to open the bathroom door with on your way out. Barbarous!
Time out? People don’t want to see innocent civilians intentionally slaughtered by a US backed country.
How is this Israels fault at this point?

There are a lot of historic things that are its fault, but at this point the Hamas left it no choice whatsoever. It won't accept anything less than the destruction of Israel. It still holds kidnapped children and elderly civilians. It's still firing missiles into Israel as of today...

The Palestinian people got squeezed in the middle because of that and it's terrible. What more can Israel do if the Hamas is willing to sacrifice its own civilians and literally places its headquarters under a hospital (which Israel didn't bomb).
How much leverage do Palestinians have in making that happen? Not a whole lot. That's the main issue.
No one claims that's what happened; there are claims that a misfire from Palestinian Islamic Jihad caused the explosion. This seems entirely plausible, perhaps even likely, but as of yet it's not 100% clear. Absolutely no one suggest that it was somehow an intentional attack on their own people.

Could just have been some yahoos firing a rocket from the bushes and getting it wrong, and that Hamas has just as much information as the rest of us do. That is, basically this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESOhN-SaH-s
Great questions. We are careful about new service exposure -- object storage certainly makes sense (though having built one in the past, very mindful about trade-offs between cost/performance/availability/durability) but some higher level services may not (do not expect an Elastic Beanstalk equivalent!). There's a big gray area in the middle, where we will be customer- and demand-driven.

On accounting: yes! This is something that we have designed abstractions for from the start with respect to tenancy with our silo and project abstraction[0], and we are actively adding resource allocation and monitoring; stay tuned!

They are more widespread. In the south they have very specific and narrow targets.
Exactly, and in fact they will just create more radicals, and push the existing ones to even more barbaric extremes.

I'm starting to feel radical myself, and I have no connection at all to events, other than being able to spot a bully obviously about to carry out systematic barbarism in retribution.
You are not wrong but the point I was making was that framing this as a war is incorrect.

Wars have armies on both sides.

Wars aren’t fought between an army and a bunch of trapped civilians who can’t escape between people with the latest high tech military equipment and another group who have some small arms, ancient equipment and rocks.
Not true at all in USA. Check out overheads at Salk Institute or other high profile non-profits.

I’d like to see one of these systems designed around generating test suites for the specification.

I don't see how that poster is saying anything anti-semitic? His criticisms seem pretty practical and grounded in the reality of the situation.

Personally, I don't think any country has the "right" to exist. Neither the Israelis nor Palestinians have any moral right to a country, and I think that the notion that "nations", which are often ahistorical fabrications, have the right to self-determination is bullshit.
If that's the case, is it possible Scott is lying or leaving out information on what kidney it was?
