Apparently I should explain my opinion more clearly.

You are all through this thread. You have detailed opinions of the history of the area, and you are clearly aware that the ground reality is that Israel makes and enforces the laws in the West Bank, and that the Israeli military has supported Israeli people in driving the existing Palestinian residents off their land, and either destroying existing Palestinian homes and infrastructure then building their own homes, or simply moving into the forcibly confiscated homes. It is extraordinarily misleading to pretend a) that you believe that the actual law in the West Bank is that of the Ottoman Empire that no longer exists or b) that you believe Israeli settlers being friendly locals who are simply following Ottoman law and developing empty land.

You also, with your demonstrated familiarity with the history of the area, must be aware of the military-enforced eviction from and demolition of Palestinian homes and farms, and the restrictions on Palestinian people preventing them from moving out of the occupied West Bank. There is no person on earth who knows this history, is capable of arguing on Hacker News, and also needs an explanation of why forcibly driving people from their homes under military occupation in order to replace them with people of a different religion/ethnicity/nation is bad. There are, unfortunately, a number of people who simply disagree with this moral position - and it appears you are one of them, and that you are attempting to convince other less informed people that this is not what is happening by lying about it.

My point is, if there wasn't so much obfuscation and lack of transparency, no one would have to look anything up. It would be upfront.

Fwiw, I heard more than one news segment on the econony this past week. Each time it was the talking head and some "expert". Each time it was "the numbers are great, why isn't the public on board?" You know how you answer that...you ask the public. The fact that they don't and instead they force feed a narrative...that's a red flag.

I had this happen repeatedly but relatively rarely on a Galaxy A51, and now on a Galaxy A54. I don't browse on my phone much, but it felt like much less than 20% of the time. At least, it was rare enough that I'd always forget it happened until it smacked me in the face again.
> e.g. do you friends think you're acting kinda weird now

Obviously there are bad/maladaptive versions of this, but also it would be odd if you healed a major psychological ailment and your friends didn’t notice a change in your behavior.

A common, very sad meme among artists, for example, is that they ought not get better psychologically because their art will suffer. Do people say they’re “acting kinda weird” as they heal? Yep. Is that worth putting any weight into at all? Nope.
WDT would be an extremely obvious thing to test in both the original paper as well as the follow-up videos by Hoffman/Hedrick. It is absent in all three.

Also note that Hoffman found RDT only helped in _some_ grinders. WDT also only helps with some grinders.
For what's worth, I have my Firefox open since June.

I am in an interim CTO position and the year before the title of a role I acted as had "Principal" in its title. I still write Commonmark files to render them to HTML and PDF with Pandoc.

There are dozens of Markdown note taking apps out there. There are half a dozen Notion clones out there. I know which one will overwhelmingly win mindshare due to a special feature but I won't give away why (the feature itself is more valuable than a Notion clone or even Notion itself).

You might be able to get paid for providing something valuable to others. Sometimes hard work is involved in providing value to others, but performing hardwork doesn't necessarily mean you have provided value to others.

On the money, but unsurprising. Gruber is an Apple fan-boy through and through and it doesn't take much of a guess to posit the exact "prediction" he made. It was clear Apple was never going to put up with this, but it was likely accelerated by all of the media attention.

Apple is, however, nothing for "privacy and security" beyond what they need to do to be marginally better, and that's a stretch these days. If Gruber really believes what he wrote he's full-on living in Apple's orchard behind the walled garden that Tim Cook splendidly gatekeeps. But because Apple puts marketing dollars behind ads that say "privacy" and "security" it must be so!

This is why it's always funny to me when the trope of the hour is the mass privacy failures of Signal through use of phone numbers. And then the author turns around and types out an iMessage to a blue-bubble friend. I really hope we can move beyond the Apple reality distortion machine and move to truly user focused platforms that aren't designed to steal user data or make the board richer.

Apple has become rotten.
I am not talking about justification.

ALPS makes the hardware for the joysticks the major console companies use. They are cheap and work great -- except they have a really really short half-life. Even the Xbox Pro Controller (which is like $200) uses them which is crazy.

I'm guessing it makes financial sense to keep using them so nothing changes.

Hall effect joysticks are becoming more popular but they're usually harder to get ahold of and may not actually be that much better in the long run. Time will tell!
Marketing.

An acronym with the word "statistics" would not have been able to sell the false sense of precision or superior deduction or the 'entity able to think' that is implied by putting "AI" in the sentence.

Such marketing is hijacking what the general public has come to know over the past two centuries as AI through sci-fi novels and films, which now they wants to be rename to Artificial General Intelligence, AGI ?

One would expect they edit all the sci-fi novels and movies around the history for to avoid the AI acronym confusion, but in such case the marketing would stop being effective, because the quid is within my first sentence, they sell the false sense of precision or superior deduction, when in fact there are only statistical models. Pure oxymoron, as statistics in itself sounds like an acronym for "lack of precision".

I read about this in the Silence on the Wire by Michal Zalewski. And you don't need a fullblown AI, a good statistical model is enough to make a guess on passwords, and if you have a bunch of probabilities to cut down your search space to a more probable set. And the book is from 2005, so I wouldn't say it is new. https://nostarch.com/silence.htm

I even remember reading about how Clifford Stoll recognized the different attackers by "typing rhythm" in Cuckoo's Egg.
I wish I could find more discussion like this. There’s so much of this to discuss with LLM’s in the scene.

Honestly I don’t understand why people aren’t talking about AI all the time. Nothing is like we would have expected.

The alignment that occurred after and as a direct consequence of the Russian invasion are neither justification nor motivation for the invasion.
Which has widely been condemned by people who criticise Israel? And tends not to be talked about too much by the (right wing) pro-Israeli government (settlement program, bombing of Palestinians) crowd.
there are some crazy talented pilots out there who are able to perform under massive amounts of pressure, United Flight 232 is a more extreme version of this article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_232

>Despite the fatalities, the accident is considered a good example of successful crew resource management. A majority of those aboard survived; experienced test pilots in simulators were unable to reproduce a survivable landing. It has been termed "The Impossible Landing" as it is considered one of the most impressive landings ever performed in the history of aviation

I’ve defaulted to XFS since it became available for Linux, and never had any problems. Only once, some time around 2009, did I try ext3 and it forgot to flush a lot of data that were lost. I don’t see why anyone would use ext over XFS.
What I was getting at is that it seems to depend on the compiler to know the difference between preflight and inflight because the calling convention is identical.

I personally don't think it's intuitive that function calls using the same syntax either emit terraform code or JS. It's like mixing compile time macros and code into one.
> It's complex and boring and error prone and fragile ...

And, if you want to fix this you must first try to understand why it is so.

It's also easy because they were the aggressors. The attack on Pearl Harbor when we were at peace does not leave a lot of room for nuance. We were not their oppressors, we were just in the way of their conquests.

Great questions.

> 1. Does chat-with-pdfs function work with scanned PDFs?

Not yet. We don't do OCR or anything to extract text from images yet. But that would be an awesome feature, so we would love to add it in the future.

> 2. In the video example for chat-with-pdfs you show uploading a document interactively. The part of processing is quite slow. Can the tool be fed these documents offline as well?

Not as of right now. But we do have plans to make that an offline/background job so that we can feed a larger corpus of documents into it and query against it later.

You’re giving that “mainstream sentiment” way too much credit. 1) It’s not all that mainstream. 2) It has nothing to do with the opioid epidemic nor the replication crisis. 3) That is exactly the sentiment that was “generated” by the boogeymen (purposely nefarious or not).

It’s mostly downstream of COVID and specifically the lies around COVID.

And yes, those lies were indeed powered and mainstreamed by a combination of alt right and alt left looneytunes who just found a much larger audience for a variation of the old hobbyhorses, “vaccines cause autism” and “contrails turn frogs gay” type do-your-own-research research.

The past is the past. There are multiple generations of Israeli people that born on that land. Does a Palestinean child whose grand grandfather born there has any more rights to the land than those actually born there? Israel is there, for a fact. If an ultra-radical population that largely wants the eradication of Israel moves in, it’s over for Israel. This is just the way it is.

So what’s your proposal? Israel’s suicide?
The most important thing LLMs made me reconsider is the nature of thought itself. What does it mean to think when a computer can do it more convincingly than many of the humans I know?

I think I can apply your last two paragraphs to pretty much any movie unintentionally celebrating the United States security apparatus, politics, public policy, or exploitative crony capitalism that that people lust over for whatever reason.

"That said, there are clear problems with the political narrative in the film Oppenheimer, given that it's supposed to be artwork. Making a film about a nuclear weapon without in any way extensively showcasing the result of it's use on a civilian population i.e. the consequences of the development of that weapon is extremely American and morally dubious at best...downright propaganda at worst. Were the American public and military rank and file the real victims of WW2 ()? Is it ok to pronounce the moral ambiguity of the top brass without commenting on the Holocaust-level crimes committed?

These things were glaring in the theater. And I know I'm going to get the standard 'MAGA move to a Commie country' for having an honest appraisal of the conceptual idea. But it's bad in that way. ..."

War is a complex issue and making a film about Japan's war crimes (the first installment of the Ip Man series was good with this) is something which has to be met with approval from its government who have their hands in film finance as well. Japan is not exactly a capitalist economy-- it is culturally a command economy and everyone listens to the government (this is actually one of the critiques of Shin Godzilla and even if this Godzilla movie).

There are not that many governments that are going to be thrilled about you making a movie shitting on their armed forces or speaking on their war crimes. In the United States, our first amendment protects give us tremendous leeway to do this, but there is a lot of other pressures which can be extorted to kill a film prior to release.

Scorcese recently released Killers of the Flower Moon, which is not about a Holocaust, but about a limited genocide, and people are already bitching about the length, and it is as long as a "rah rah America" Avengers movie. This kind of movie was hard to make in the United States. It would be impossible to make in Japan. People there have to use metaphors to talk about getting nuked (aside from Grave of the Fireflies showing the Tokyo Firebombing, which was worse). How are you supposed to use a metaphor for an Asian Holocaust? If they did it would it come off as insensitive to a Western viewer?

This is a political Godzilla movie. It's a movie about Japan dealing with post war recovery. Maybe next time, there will be a Godzilla who comes and frees all the slave labor in the Imphal India campaign (maybe involve the Indian film industry to reduce cost). Maybe you should pitch it to be developed here with US political assistance and pressure so that Japanese war crimes are addressed. It's certainly a good idea.

But I would hesitate from:
-- being a hypocrite.
-- critiquing simplistically without seeing the larger work of this director.

Most common first line treatments for depression don't show any effect for weeks so this is a valid criticism. Things like Xanax for anxiety have an immediate effect though so it's not like we don't deal with this sort of thing.

I've always viewed the Chinese Room and similar thought experiments as a distraction from reasoning about the practical implications of machine learning.

We don't understand "understanding" in the vast majority of practical ML systems that currently exist, let alone the physical implementation of "understanding" in our own brains. And yet, understanding "understanding" in ML has never been a pre-requisite to economic viability.

GPT4 can displace certain low-grade cognitive laborers regardless of whether or not we understand how it works, or whether or not its understanding is "true".

I missed that study and that is a brilliant way of blinding participants for this sort of thing.
Just so I understand this right, you're saying that the only reason Microsoft designs and releases accessible controllers is because they make money off it? I don't think that's right, given how much they have to invest in it and how small the market is.

Chomsky on the topic: "It simply shows they’re irrelevant. A two-year-old child or two, three-year-old child has basically mastered the essentials of language with very sparse data. We want to understand language learning, cognition. We want to see how that works. The fact that some program that scans extraordinary amounts of data gets something superficially similar to what a two-year-old child does basically tells us nothing."

and

"It’s like asking whether submarines swim. You want to call that swimming? Okay, submarine swim. What the programs are doing is, again, scanning huge amounts of data, finding statistical regularities enough so that you can make a fair guess as to what the next word will be in some sequence. Is that thinking? Does submarine swim? It’s the same question."
NYC is currently optimized for extreme density, with a huge flow of commuters into offices that now are mostly empty. If you want it to turn back into lower density housing, you'll have to find a way to trim back expenses to the point where the debt loads of the city are sustainable.

Without the tax income from all those offices, and the surrounding shops, etc., NYC is unsustainable. It's been that way for a while, reality is catching up.

None of this is relevant to the morality of piracy. It's immoral to make a promise to not do something (what you do when you license a copy of a work) and then turn around and do that very thing.

This was a major point in your other comment that I forgot to address actually, my bad.

Let me repeat your point just to make sure I am understanding it correctly: "The US should have known that meddling in Ukraine would start a war. Therefore, they shouldn't have meddled in Ukraine."

This could be true. But then I would argue: The US has long used the "bastion of freedom" approach because they believe it works - they believe that if they meddle in everybody's affairs to keep them aligned with the US, that this will help world peace. Therefore Russia would have already known that the US would meddle in Ukraine. And Russia would have known that would cause them to start a war. Therefore, Russia would have known that the US was on track to start a war with them in a neighboring country and did nothing about it for nearly a decade (other than warning the US). Does this seem reasonable?

And I also argue against your original point: "The US should have known that meddling in Ukraine would start a war." I don't believe this is reasonable because even if they knew, they were wrong. The invasion didn't start until 8 years after the 2014 revolution. So when did the meddling occur? Before the revolution? After?

Let's assume that the meddling happened before 2014. Are the intelligence agencies stupid? Their meddling caused a large portion of Ukraine to be annexed with little resistance. Do you think the intelligence agencies would have been happy with that outcome?

Let's assume that the meddling happened after 2014. Why would the intelligence agencies cause another war when the previous one was so easily lost?

I guess the big question is: Why would the US want war so bad? Why would they blindly turn Ukraine against Russia KNOWING that a war was coming that could turn Ukraine against the US (if it was annexed)?
