No everyone would classify this as a valid or persuasive rebuttal.
I think his point is more like the following:

every day we have the chance to observe thousands of thousands of circumcised men and we have been doing this for thousands of men, and so far, nobody has noticed any emotional issues with them.

it's not fallacious, its simply saying that we've (informally) looked at a lot of data and found nothing. I.e. evidence of absence
> Settlements are of course wrong, but I don't really see any concrete action that Israel could take other than removing settlements.

It could do a lot in the West Bank (where the fully or partially PA administered territory is divided into 166 non-contiguous regions), and anything there xould be done in a way that it looks like a win for the Fatah-led PA, weakening the perception that Hamas and its violence is the only entity capable of delivering for the Palestinian people, undermining Hamas politically.

OTOH, the whole reason Israel fostered Hamas during the direct occupation of Gaza was to create an Islamist competitor for the more secular and sympathetic to non-Muslim states PLO, and the reason they've (and government ministers have said this explicitly) continued to support them in between periods of active conflict is to deflect pressure for peace and a two-state solution, so there’s zero chance of the Netanyahu government doing this.
1200+ Israelis, mostly civilians, were brutally murdered on 10/7.

There have already been real-life anti-semitic attacks on people and property. There have been synagogues and cemeteries burned, people murdered, shot, and stabbed, businesses trashed. [0][1][2][3][4] You can find hundreds more sources of recent, very real, physical violence against Jews and Jewish places worldwide.

Jews have been subject to thousands of years of very real pogroms, genocide, and conspiracy theories. These are not "possible" bad outcomes, they actually happened, we're seeing some of it now, and we have every reason to believe that it will happen again.

Because this has it's own set of limits. Especially if you're the in tech living in suburbs type that doesn't have a tiny house.

I had Cat 6 dropped to the TVs/media devices because I don't want constant streaming devices "using up all the wifi". The offices where computers are have network drops too.

This leaves a few wifi units around the house to service truly mobile things like phones and the assorted device that uses wifi that doesn't make sense to network.

If you're going to try to fed 2+ TVs across a sizeable house with a bunch of other wifi capable devices off a single wifi router don't be surprised when your latency is high and or your speed suck.
Nostr and Bitcoin Can Change Social Media
Well, that’s not a fair comparison. Palestinians may have a lot of muslims on their side, but the whole western world—-or more precisely: their media and people in power—-fully support anything Israel does. No consequences. Au contraire:

Looking at Germany for instance, anyone remotely criticising Israel for even gross violations of international human rights or Geneva Conventions (for instance for withholding water, food, medicines, and electricity for 2.2mil civilians in Gaza) will be attacked, silenced, stigmatised, smeared by the majority of media, politician, police, attorneys, etc. Many artists, intellectuals, activists, thinkers, academics have been cancelled, smeared (for instance Greta Thunberg, Ai Wei Wei, Candice Brice, Ilan Pappe, and many many more). And even more people are afraid to speak about Israel critically, fearing to lose their job or called antisemite, when in fact Zionism is not Judaism and the state of Israel does not represent all jews around the world, and cannot be sacrosanct.

In the US the support is even larger. Just today the US vetoed a Security Council decision for a ceasefire in Gaza. And this inspite of many people in the state department internally rebelling against this blind support for Israels retaliatory move in Gaza.

Disclosure: I have family in Israel, some of them went to the streets in Tel Aviv every week for months to protest against the judicial overhaul. And who are in panic mode seeing the right wing coalition partners of Netanyahu getting stronger and stronger. And I have family members in the military who after 7/10 want to „kill arabs now“. I just do not think flattening Gaza and/or dehumanising Palestinians will make Israel any safer.
You should watch this documentary:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15721106

The documentary "Boycott" explores the legislation passed in several U.S. states, including Arkansas, Arizona, and Texas, that requires individuals to pledge not to boycott Israel as a condition for receiving government funds. This legislation emerged in response to the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement against Israel. The film follows individuals who challenged these laws, including a publisher in Arkansas, an attorney in Arizona, and a speech pathologist in Texas, highlighting their legal battles and the implications for free speech
That's just untrue. Sudan, Yemen and (earlier) Ethiopia had much much more, without even going into Ukraine (nobody should accept the Russian figures) or Syria (death toll exceeding all Israeli-Arab wars combined). Doing a death toll per month analysis is misleading because high intensity can't last very long due to geography alone.
Covering a rich man's mental state like it's news. Giving attention because it's sensational and sells ads.
For example, 2017 Hamas charter [1], page 6:

The establishment of “Israel” is entirely illegal and contravenes the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and goes against their will and the will of the Ummah ... There shall be no recognition of the legitimacy of the Zionist entity. ... Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. However, without compromising its rejection of the Zionist entity and without relinquishing any Palestinian rights, Hamas considers the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of the 4th of June 1967.

Again, people may use it trying to say something else, but slogans do not exist in a vacuum. Saying "from the river to the sea" means that all people should be free is akin to saying "arbeit macht frei" is a call for the financial independence of working people.

As for your second question, calls for ceasefire appeared while Hamas terrorists weree still in Israel, by no less than U.S. representatives [2].

Would you rather get tortured to death horrifically or have your closest 200 relatives crushed to death in the rubble of everything they own? If we're comparing experiences, this might be a more typical choice.
Israel did leave Gaza though. Gaza elected Hamas, and they carried out this attack.

So what should Israel do specifically in Gaza?
That is the exact opposite of the message that was sent.
It's dangerous, tricky terrain. Regardless of your beliefs, anti-Semites benefit.

* The anti-Semites are not idiots, mostly; they don't spew anti-Semitism publicly but say what is acceptable, which is to criticize Israel, and obviously anything anti-Israeli helps their cause.

* There's an implication whether people like it or not: Israel defines itself as The Jewish State. Also, many people are unware that Judaism is non-hierarchical overall; there's no pope-equivalent in Israel to which Jewish people have some allegiance (remember the old Papist accusation against Roman Catholics for dual loyalty); though Israel has some special things and history, it has no other role in non-Israeli Jewish people's religion, but people make that association regardless. Also, many are unaware that most Jewish people in the US oppose Netanyahu and the Israeli right, and afaik are sympathetic to the Palestinians. Anti-Semites will benefit from that implication, even though you don't want them to.

* Not everyone will respect that essential division between anti-Israel and anti-Semitic speech, and there's a significant risk that large-scale anti-Semitism could spill over. It was already at the highest levels in recent history (like other prejudices). It's easy to dismiss as as unlikely when you aren't at risk; a small risk of catastrophe is a big issue when it's your life.

People absolutely need to be able to criticize Israel, but I hope they are careful (not silent) and aware that there is no easy answer. You are anti-Israel (in this case, at least) and not anti-Semitic, but you will help the latter to some degree - hopefully a minimized one.

I think the major problem is that we've abandoned and actively attack the former social prohibition against prejudice, stereotypes, intolerance, race/sex/gender/religious discrimination, etc. It used to be verboten, but then we are all familiar with the contemporary reactionary attack on it (however you perceive it, whatever words you use), which seems to have been very successful. A very major loss is that without that high wall between us and the bad guys and bad behavior, without that bright line, there is much more spillover in what we do, and much more risk of them walking right in.
The combined net worth of all billionaires in America come out to ~$4.5T. Even ignoring the fact that that number is fiction (because those assets cannot be converted to that amount of money in real life), it's not very much money in the grand scheme of things. It's not even one year of federal expenditure. It'll pay for maybe three years of Social Security.

If Bill Gates wasn't allowed to have so much money, I assume the government would have taken it at truly confiscatory tax rates. Then you have the same problem of meddlesome "aid" to Africa, except that the entity writing the check would be the US government, not Bill Gates.
Religion aside I think a majority of American men and a significant portion of South Korean men are circumcised. These are the two largest populations last I checked. Neither do so for religious reasons but more likely by doctors pushing junk science and peer pressure. The foreskin I believe are sold in many hospitals to pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies, so there is perverse incentive.
So, what would you do?
The conditions in Gaza are the result of Hamas and similar groups. Israel ended their occupation of Gaza twenty years ago and dragged Israelis out. Israel invested in Gaza infrastructure, but Hamas ripped it out and used it to make weapons. Israel allowed Gazans to work in Israel, who then told Hamas where to attack. Israel tried ceasefire after ceasefire, but Hamas just sent suicide bombers and rockets. And when as a result Israel tightened their border and built the Iron Dome, people say they're in the wrong. Those same people also never think about why Egypt also has a tight border with Gaza.
The industries AI is disrupting are not lucrative
When you outsource support, that carries costs that are difficult to measure and not carried in the lease. Your "supply chain of business" just became less robust.

If you're in a business where a couple of days in lead time for repair can make or break a harvest, (1) having a repairs workshop (2) investing in tools you can reliably repair yourself is essentially an insurance premium that protects your harvest by placing its success squarely within the hands of the part most interested in success.

This "insurance" aspect is something that accountants reliably fail to account for, because it doesn't show up in any business ledger. But this way of thinking generally wins because it increases fiscal efficiency, while the side-effect of making systems more fragile is consistently written-off.
"For CO3D and RealEstate10K, we select the input views evenly from all the frames and use every 8th of the remaining frames for evaluation."

> you cannot be taught what nobody knows how to do

It's worse than that. No one can agree what "quality" means.

Mostly, the word is used as a weapon.

The pointy end of the weapon is what management pokes you with whenever anything unexpected happens. Typically they do this instead of making sure that problems do not happen (a.k.a. "management").

The weapon's handle is sometimes flourished by process gatekeepers who insist on slowing everything down and asserting their self-worth. This is not good for throughput, anyone else's mood, or eventually even for the gatekeepers.

People usually refuse to talk about quality in terms of actual business metrics because if anything unexpected happens that's not covered by the metrics, there will be fault-finding. And the fingers pointed for wrong metrics are typically pointed at middle management.
It is a shame that this could never, ever happen politically, when from an outside, dispassionate perspective, it just seems obviously and objectively correct.
Its a artificial supply constraint due to artificial market segmentation enabled by Nvidia/AMD.

Honestly its crazy that AMD indulges in this, especially now. Their workstation market share is comparatively tiny, and instead they could have a swarm of devs (like me) pecking away at AMD compatibility on AI repos if they sold cheap 32GB/48GB cards.

House Declares Anti-Zionism Is Antisemitism, Dividing Democrats

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/world/middleeast/house-an...

>More than half of House Democrats declined to back the Republican-written resolution, as some argued that equating criticism of the state of Israel with hatred of the Jewish people went too far.

>House Democrats splintered on Tuesday over a resolution condemning the rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world, with more than half of them declining to support a measure declaring that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism.”

>The resolution denouncing antisemitism, drafted by Republicans, passed by a vote of 311 to 14, drawing the support of all but one Republican. Ninety-two Democrats voted “present” — not taking a position for or against the measure — while 95 supported it.

>That reflected deep and growing divisions among Democrats between those who have offered unequivocal support for the Jewish state and its actions, and others — especially in the party’s progressive wing — who have been critical of Israel’s policies and its conduct in the war with Hamas.

>“Under this resolution, those who love Israel deeply but criticize some of its policy approaches could be considered anti-Zionist,” Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York and the longest-serving Jewish member of the House, said in a floor speech before he voted “present.” “That could make every Democratic Jewish member of this body, because they all criticized the recent Israeli judicial reform package, de facto antisemites. Might that be the author’s intention?”
River to the Sea has clear meaning regarding the establishment of palestine and the eradication of israel.

You can draw a very neat line between the number of jews currently permitted to live peacefully in palestine vs the number of muslims living within israel.

its not complicated, confusing, unclear or opaque.

River to the Sea means to end the israeli state, and the end of that does not have a happy ending for any jews living on that land.
Well, your grandmother could go back to posting letters and going to the library if she wanted to. Her confusion is entirely her own, given she's an agent responsible for her decisions, just like you or me.

> but you're more connected or more ruthless

This stuff still counts though. Those are just as valid differentiators in a competitive ecosystem as any others. In fact I'd argue you can't separate them from "merit".

> You're not special, sure you might have invented whatever 20 years before someone else

This seems almost a contradiction in terms. The fact that you got somewhere 20 years before anyone else surely entitles you to the fruits of your success. Or rather, it entitles you more than any other person - what is the basis for your moral claim on the success of another?

> what if the thing you invented was a better more addictive casino?

That still counts. If you agree that we are fundamentally decision-making agents, then it doesn't matter what motivates our decisions. Who are you to decide that a better casino has less merit than a better space ship? What criteria do you use to differentiate "genuine value" from "value"? Why are you so sure these criteria are somehow universal?

I think he's referring to the way that eg lawrencium has a half-life that ~increases with the neutrons in the isotopes we've produced, from seconds for Lr-256 to hours for Lr-266.

It isn't crazy to postulate, as a layman, that if we synthesized Lr-276, say, it might have a longer half-life.

(Not that we expect that pattern to continue indefinitely, but still, have we discovered the most stable isotope of lawrencium yet?)
You just did the thing: Conflating being pro-Palestine (Anti-zionist) with anti-Jew.

Why is it weird to mention non-Israeli jews when being Anti-zionist? The point is to NOT conflate Zionism with being Jewish.

The matter of what should happen in Israel/Palestine is separate from this discussion. Anyway, they wouldn't (in theory) necessarily have to go anywhere. Jews and Arabs could have lived together in a single democratic country where one religion/ethnicity isn't favored over another.
Gaza has been pseudo self governed since 2005, and is ruled by an authoritarian theocratic regime. The situation was intolerable on 10/6 but understood. What exactly should israel do after the 10/7 attacks. To me attempting to degrade Hamas is what any other state would do. War in one of the most densely populated places on earth is going to kill a lot of people. The only other option it would seem to me would be to ignore the attacks which I'm sure wouldn't be acceptable to the citizens of Israel.
Plasmid production is pretty well industrialized. Lots of biotech drugs/treatments ferment plasmids as a step in their process (for example the Covid mRNA vaccines that cost $25).

I imagine an expensive part of this process is incubating the treated stem cells to increase their numbers, and then just the cost of the hospital time while the new cells establish and the patients immune system recovers from the chemotherapy.

It seems that anti-Israel propaganda is way more successful than this pro-Israel information war.
> powerful people meddling with the government to reinforce their power using anti-democratic means

As the other commenter alluded to, the solution to this is to limit the power of the government so that even if they meddle and gain influence, the harm they can do is limited because the government itself isn't allowed to do whatever it is the plutocrats want to do.
Most devices work within the spec 99.9% of the time, but that last .1% it is outside the spec. The exact % is different for different projects of course, but the idea is still there: no software operates according to spec 100% of the time.
From the river to the sea is the entirety of Israel plus Gaza/west bank of landmass. Then calling Palestine shall be free is a call to end the state of Israel. hopefully Oct 7th should demonstrate what that means, which is indiscriminately killing of all Israeli civilians.

If you doubt it ask a few Palestinians what would happen to the Jews living in the area if “Palestine is free”.
> have a wide and diverse set of opinions about Hamas

75% of Palestinians "support the military operation carried out by the Palestinian resistance led by Hamas on October 7th." 76% have positive views of Hamas (other armed terrorist groups have even larger support).
