The way you have phrased your question invites discussion of legal definitions. Moral questions are not answered in this way. What is the moral difference between soldiers and police as regards civilians? Both have the same moral obligation not to harm civilians. The difference is that police have a monopoly on violence and soldiers do not, because there is another belligerent force.
Hence, it is clear that under some circumstances, the moral obligations of soldiers would reduce to that of police (when the opposing beligerent force is nearly eliminated). The degree to which this is the case depends on the tactical state of play, which is unclear (and likely to remain so).

I have to say that it's also unclear to me personally whether the current rate of civilian deaths could be justified under any circumstances. Since Israel has not stated what it wants the end-goal of the war to be, we don't know how it could justify it either.

Communism only looks good on paper if you know nothing about human behavior.

Georgism aims to take the best aspects of capitalism (market-driven optimization) while restraining some of its worst qualities (speculative bubbles driving higher prices and rents which in turn strangle the economy).
Me? I love Safari and Chrome drives me nuts. I can’t see a single reason to switch.
Preventing these bubbles assumes a level of foresight that doesn't seem feasible- besides a general limitor on any and all potential advancements, there is no possible way to know which technologies wil substantively deliver against their promises.
I'm sorry, but it's not "rhetoric" for me. Hamas invaded Israel, killed many people, and has promised to do it again, all while continuing to fire rockets at us.

Hamas has promised to do this over and over again, saying that October 7th was "just a rehearsal".

I'm not at all saying that every action is justified, but fighting to stop Hamas from having the capability of doing this again is definitely justified.

(And for what it's worth, the "other side" thinking October 7th was justified makes no sense, because it isn't going to help them achieve their actual goals, only cause immense suffering to their own side. In that sense Hamas's actions are double-crimes - both killing Israelis, and doing so in a manner that was bound to cause the death of their own populations.)
British-American here. WhatsApp is very good despite its owners. Way better than anything else which is why we continue to use it for group chats.

There’s no other good group chat encrypted option for both iPhone and Android.
Yup, that's basically it, I rarely even see new Reddit anymore. I know there are browser extensions that do the same thing, I think I even have one installed on my main Firefox profile, but it's handy for your search engine to just do it.

But it's not just reddit, you can do like a custom regex replace on any domain IIRC.
I don't consider any of these as a viable option.

Hey all, we had a lively group discussion today on the 2021 CLIP paper from OpenAI.

Every Friday we've been going over the fundamentals of a lot of the state of the art techniques used in Machine Learning today. Hoping to learn a little each week, and spot patterns we can apply to our own work. I feel like there's always a little nugget of information I didn't fully understand before reading the paper, so have been finding it helpful.

Though it is not groundbreaking research as of this week, I think it's nice to take a step back and review the fundamentals as well as keeping up with the latest and greatest.

Posted the notes and video recap are here if anyone finds it helpful:

https://blog.oxen.ai/arxiv-dives-zero-shot-image-classificat...

Also would love to have anyone join us live on Fridays or suggest papers! We've got a pretty consistent and fun group of 400+ engineers and researchers popping in and out.
> Every Palestinian person has the same right to self-determination as every Israeli/Jewish person

Agree, that's why i believe in a 2 state solution.

> The ROI is the end of endless warfare

Israel has been prospering more or less, and of course it's a gamble but that's true either way (for example, there could be better and cheaper missile defense tech coming soon, so the risk of war would be lower)

> Do you mean a separate Gaza country and West Bank country, along side an Israel country

Yes, but we can solve that with either an air corridor / connecting road in the beginning and eventually a tunnel - the land mass is fairly small.

Sure it's not ideal, but Gaza + West bank is about a 10x larger land mass than singapore.

> it's really up to the Palestinians how they want to organize themselves

Sure, but i think it's silly to suffer for so long just due some specific piece of land when you already have land.

And like a said, a 2 state solution doesn't have to be the end all, after trust is rebuilt the countries could have an open border and migration policy.
The term "Israel's occupation of Palestine" is overloaded. It depends on how you define Palestine. Hamas defines it as all of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza.

The majority voted for a truce, which greatly favors Hamas at the expense of Israel.

Hostages are still being held in Gaza, and a truce agreement was sustained for as long as Hamas were willing to free 10 hostages per day of truce. Hamas stopped short with 137 hostages still remaining in Gaza. Why on Earth would Israel agree?

Okay? It's still a vague anonymous anecdote.
The failure was on the GWML, it affected services to places like cardiff, Devon, Oxford, as well as the “Elizabeth line” branded trains running on the line.

There’s nothing new about the line. Obviously the overhead power wasn’t there in 1840, and indeed the rails were at a different gauge, but the failure was in the GWML, on a Paddington to Cardiff express on the Down Main. The failure was on a track the Elizabeth Line trains don’t even use, however due to the type of failure a massive section of overhead power had to be shut off

> Either because they just don’t care enough to install another browser…

Why does so many people have this attitude that Safari sucks and the only people who use it are idiots who don’t know better?

It’s so incredibly insulting.

Not that putting native Mac in quotes implies anything nice either.
You're forgetting the users that are tired of signing up for one-shot sites to do patches or drive-by bug reports. The actual value of the sign-up process is so little that the incentive to contribute lowers. It's another set of username/password to manage. Even if you're unwise and depend on a password app, it's another thing on the list to manage.

OpenID was supposed to fix a lot of problems and doesn't appear to have, at all.

Anyway, there are lots of people who are not only knowledgeable enough but also skilled enough to triage bugs, but don't want to go through the rigamarole of a new account, e-mail, clicking a verification link, reading the bug report guidelines, etc.

Putting walls up to contribution is indeed a good way to get fewer people contributing. There's no guarantee the ones stubborn enough to still report bugs are reporting any better, though.
Sure, move on to where? do what? I'm curious, how much do you know about the situation here?

Thank you, this is helpful... although my initial thought was this may be useful for a rather different type of application: These new AI models, "linear RNNs," that have many layers, each layer processing large batches of sequences in parallel, each sequence with potentially up to millions of tokens, each token with thousands of features. Definitely not small-scale. Hard to reason about, at least for me.
No one is stopping you and everyone you know from switching to Signal.

You can even use Beeper (Cloud) as a client if you don’t mind using a relay. They also had plans to extend Beeper Mini to support Signal and other e2e encrypted chat apps with no relay.
There's no monopoly. Messengers hardly have any lock-in and there's plenty of competition available. Entire continents will switch messengers essentially overnight once the current market leader becomes too enshittified and there's something better. Remember how AOL, ICQ, MSN, Skype, etc. died?

WhatsApp is the current leader because it's no-nonsense and works everywhere. The moment Facebook fucks that up even a little bit, people will have moved on to the next thing.

F@H is a physics simulation. It is going to get closer to truth as we understand it. AlphaFold is going to be more pattern matching based on previously identified relationships.

I know some that use it in Portugal, but most of my relatives use Facebook Messenger first, then WhatsApp, then SMS or iMessage.
>Again, people may use it trying to say something else, but slogans do not exist in a vacuum.

"From the river to the sea, palestine will be free" implies a desire to see freedom not genocide.

If you're looking for slogans that genuinely impute racist genocidal intent look no further than the Israeli Prime Minister's references to Amalek.

People who say that they support Israel may not believe this imputed genocidal intent is what they support that in a practical sense it is.
I agree. There are already third party E2E messaging apps that work across platforms. Anyone who decided to build a business on unauthorized use of another company's servers was just setting themselves up for disappointment. I have a hard time understanding how anyone thought Apple would not cut this off.
I lost interest in raspberry pi once I saw that it's $80 + $20 case + $30 SD card + $10 PSU = $140.... which is more expensive than a new n100 alder lake mini-pc.

To downvoters, the above appears to be sarcasm. Apple would love you to believe this even though it's just blatantly silly, which is why it's funny.

Keep in mind that this is spin — Erik's statement is ridiculous, and he knows it. To think that Apple would somehow not treat Beeper like any other bad actor hacking iMessage protocols is delulu.

Beeper Mini talks directly to Apple servers from your device.

Beeper the company also has Beeper (Cloud) which bridges a whole lot of chat apps via Matrix to their other client app, including iMessage via a Mac relay.
You and I have a very different definition of "upselling".

If Google releases a new model that they say can read prompts directly from your brain and they release a demo where they show a person sit quietly and prompt the model just by thinking, and later it's going to be revealed that there was a person sitting behind the camera and furiously typing all queries on a laptop, would you still defend Google? This is honestly ridiculous.
It is not a question of what is allowed. The company delivering parcels must fulfill their contracts, but the contracts clearly have stipulations for force majeure. Which a strike is, by the very definition.

What is not clear here? Sweden has very few strikes, but this is a textbook example of one. The postal worker's union have called for their members to refuse to carry out a specific work. This is well within their rights to do. The union calls for this as part of a collective action for their fellow workers.

The company delivering the parcels could call for their employer's union to lock out the workers on strike. But why would they want to escalate the conflict? They too prefer their collective bargaining agreements respected. And they are clearly not in violation of any of their contracts as this is a legal strike.

There are plenty of gray areas within worker's rights, but this is as simple as it could be.
> it's because the biggest deep learning conference (NeurIPS) is next week.

Can we expect some big announcements (new architectures, models, etc) at the conference from different companies? Sorry, not too familiar what the culture for research conferences is.
Which is why most people (should) opt to use a cross platform messenger, such as Signal.
You know that’s a great question. I’ve never thought to ask that but boy does it seem to come up a lot.
No. Israel would like nothing more than to not be the center of attention every time it's attacked and tries to defend itself.
Mmm, absolutes.

Awesome, thanks. Already this HN page is more informative than 99% of other discussions combined.

I don't have time to read the whole thing right now, but a few observations:

* Dated 1988.

* It is The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement, which goes on to say, The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine. Moslem Brotherhood Movement is a universal organization which constitutes the largest Islamic movement in modern times. Is that the same as Hamas? The added page title (which doesn't seem part of the document), Hamas Covenant 1988, clearly says so.

* Just one thing I noticed, skimming it: Under the wing of Islam, it is possible for the followers of the three religions - Islam, Christianity and Judaism - to coexist in peace and quiet with each other. Peace and quiet would not be possible except under the wing of Islam.

> It's high time we demand open-source messaging standards across all platforms.

What, like this https://github.com/signalapp?

The only thing holding this back are end users. Not corporations or governments. A safe, vetable 'standard' exists, it just needs ratifying by a standards body. It is available cross platform and is free of charge and free-as-in-beer (mostly AGPL I believe).

Messages app exists to send SMS, MMS and soon RCS. Apple developed a convenience feature that allows users to send enhanced messages to other users of the platform. Since the platform is successful and has had compelling and useful features added, it has found popularity in territories that traditionally had free or cheap SMS bundles. The rest of the world didn't have this golden noose and settled on other platforms (WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Telegram, Line, WeChat, Signal, Viber, etc...) across all platforms.

Edited spelling/layout.
Not sure why this is getting downvoted – IAAL and this is definitely something worth considering. This particular type of law varies from state to state, and can be quite broad. I've talked with other lawyers about it in the past, and my understanding is that it's frequently asserted when companies make counterclaims in business litigation.

That doesn't mean it's a sure winner, just that it's a live question until more info is known. I imagine Apple would say they need to tighten up any parts of their system that could allow for spoofing or other security issues, and that was their 'legitimate' reason to make these changes.
Uhhhh, actually, please do that yourself? There is an Arab party in knesset arguing that Israel shouldn’t exist, not sure what else you could even ask for.
None of this constitutes border expansion. As for blatant ignorance, please check the reasons for the "blockade", for the wall (which is nothing like Berlin), and even for the very existence of the "West Bank" entity.
Why stop there?

If Polish utmost priority was saving as many Ukrainian lives as possible, they would block the supply of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine and pressure it to surrender. It doesn't seem to me that Polish (Western) intentions are purely humanitarian, but there's also a sense of justice at play (plus geopolitics).
Pushback on parsers. It's very difficult to provide useful diagnostic error messages with yacc/bison. So most languages end up with a hand-written recursive descent parser.

The only exception I personally know of is jq (uses bison). So it's difficult to produce helpful syntax error messages in the implementation of jq.

> What are the HW requirements for this latest Mistral7B

Pretty much anything with ~6-8GB of memory that's not super old.

It will run on my 6GB laptop RTX 2060 extremely quickly. It will run on my IGP or Phone with MLC-LLM. It will run fast on a laptop with a small GPU, with the rest offloaded to CPU.

Small, CPU only servers are kinda the only questionable thing. It runs, just not very fast, especially with long prompts (which are particularly hard for CPUs). There's also not a lot of support for AI ASICs.
It seems like Hamas values one Palestinian less than one Israeli. This is based on prisoner exchanges. Hamas gives up one Israeli prisoner for more than one Palestinian. Most recently it was 2:1, but historically it was 100:1 or more.
That is exactly my point. Having to manually download and run the installers, plus keeping up with updates and patches, was the standard 20 years ago, but it doesn't cut it anymore. Plus, if you play in Linux, now you need to fight with WINE and Proton, which maybe be easy or might be a nightmare. In total, how much time do I need to waste to play a game?

On the other hand, with Steam when I get a new game I just click on install, I go my merry way, and less than an hour later the game is ready to play, without me having to bother to configure anything.
I'm guessing the binary they use from Apple (IMDAppleServices) to generate part of the registration information probably adds metadata to the "validation blob" that gets sent to apple when registering beeper mini as an iMessage device.

If the metadata includes the OS version, Apple probably blacklisted any new devices registered in the past few days with validation blobs generated from that binary.

(The binary was sourced from OS X 10.8 which is ~11 years old now)
It’s a two party marketplace. Even if I don’t like Apple, the alternative is not great either.
Yes. It exists but (for me) is non-existent. I know others do get it.

I’ve never thought about it but that would be a huge black mark and could end up pushing a lot of people to WhatsApp/FaceBook Messenger/whatever.
Sadly, a high speed rail between the two wouldn't make financial sense. We just don't have enough people making the journey regularly. Not to mention, you'd end up with stops in (at least) Vancouver, Centralia, Olympia, and Tacoma in between, which would negate the point of high speed rail.

I know it's hard to accept, but the US geography (and population density really) makes high speed rail pretty much a no-go here.
