Unfortunately, given Bibi's single-minded focus on staying in power, "he won't be replaced in the middle of the war" guarantees that he will try to make this a forever war.

It looks imaginary. Or, if you prefer, it looks hypothetical.

The point isn't how we would respond if this were real. The point is, it isn't real - at least not at this point in time, and it's not looking like it's going to be real tomorrow, either.

I'm not sure what purpose is served by "imagine that I'm right and you're wrong; how do you respond"?

Israel nuking/genociding Gaza would effectively be the end of the Zionist experiment. It would be internationally condemned, and trigger a larger war that would certainly bring in Hezb/Iran. IDF can’t win that war, and the US doesn’t want to fight it.

It’s easy to demonize your enemy and say they would commit atrocities and use that as justification to commit your own.
The general argument is that if you are a proto-government/warlord/gangster, you want to encourage/coerce your subjects into agriculture as the output is easily taxed and stored. This turns out to be wildly successful for creating large hierarchical societies, which in turn forces their neighbors to do the same to survive.

Are you claiming you've always scored 100% on every multiple choice test because you've been "fed the answers"?

What kind of dumb response is that?

An underrated challenge with enterprise sales is often that customers often misguidedly believe that 1) they can build it themselves, 2) they are worried about your companies ability to "scale" to their needs, and/or 3) the customer wants to "own" that responsibility for personal/political/career reasons.

Sales is hard for everyone including Azure, AWS, etc, just gotta keep grinding at it.

If you serve data from a DC in California to the west coast of Australia it will take 10 seconds of just network transfer time. Sometimes data has a high degree of cardinality and cannot be cached. Some companies cannot afford to, or for other reasons cannot, have regional instances of their compute surfaces. This is just one common scenario, there are many others.

Agreed! We’re big fans of consolidating in Postgres. We’re also hearing some downstream benefits to having things scaled in Postgres (makes reporting easier, allows the data team to use SQL rather than hitting an API, etc) from our users.
definitely not. If you don't already know ahead of time what a client might request, and just let them request anything arbitrarily without regard for whether that data is indexed or cached, then you are not competently writing a backend system.
Good grief, how did people survive before sensors!!! They must have had to actually learn where their vehicles edges were or something!
This - I worked at a place that paid bonus quarterly and firings while rare seemed to happen just before the quarter end.

Now we are paid bonus yearly and I see firings in December. I think it does align to expenditures like bonus, for sure.
IANAL but I'm told that Feist is probably the relevant US Supreme Court decision. Just because you went to a lot of trouble ("sweat of the brow") to format a book probably doesn't give you a safe copyright--although extensive annotations, illustrations, etc. probably would.
I don’t think your take is entirely unreasonable, but I do think you’ve missed a critical detail: Hamas continues to attack Israel. So Israel’s military operation is contemporaneous with a threat, and does at least serve some degree of self-defense purpose.

As I understand it (and wow, the press coverage is incomplete in so many ways), Hamas has a very large number of, approximately, these things:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qassam_rocket

And they fire them, on an ongoing basis, from civilian sites, at Israel. And Israel could, arguably, feel that it defending itself, contemporaneously, from ongoing attacks, thus satisfying #1 and #2. And, while the defense might not be proportionate per se, it’s not that easy to see how, from a purely tactical perspective, Israel is supposed to defend itself more proportionately. Certainly firing an equal number of rockets back at random civilian sites would make no sense. Although Israel could probably find a way for their soldiers to treat people in a much less dehumanizing way.

(And I think this situation is horrible. And I suspect it’s intentional on Hamas’s part — see my other comment.)
Take it from me, an out of touch old guy. It doesn't matter.
Can you please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38618713 and please not comment in this spirit in the thread? You've been crossing well into the battle that we're explicitly asking users to avoid.

I don't say this in a spirit of criticism—I am certain that you have deep and legitimate reasons for feeling the way that you do. But we're trying hard to have a certain sort of discussion here, one that remains within the intended spirit of this site, as expressed at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. If you can't find that place in yourself, that's entirely understandable and ok, but please don't post in this thread unless you can.

The same goes for some of the commenters arguing against your position—my moderation point here is certainly not about agreeing with them and disagreeing with you (I add this because I know it can all too easily feel that way).
Sometimes. So Dec is the worst case, especially if you have a longish period. You end up paying top rates on this year, then suddenly have no income come January.

Of course details vary country to country.

One fairly common thing is you can opt to take it as an lump sum now, or take it as a monthly salary - but with the proviso that if you take a new job you stop getting it. This is often the way benefit extensions work also. Sometimes the monthly option is larger.

So financially you are often better off with the lump sum, but it can be a tax hit.

My political awareness was forged by participating in the Iraq war on the US side after falling for the massive propaganda before. I've literally never been the same person since, and have spent most of my waking free hours in between the jobs I can barely hold down for my PTSD trying to understand the details behind the global geopolitical situation.

The truth is this is likely just a continuation of the same playbook, and until one understands the true reasons behind the GWOT one will not be able to understand why it seems those "mistakes" haven't been learned from. When I started asking Cui Bono about Iraq (I did not participate in Afghanistan) and the various real results of the war I keep returning to Israel. For example, I know a person who was in the Green Zone when an Iraqi general came and said "I have 40k military men about to have no job, what do you want to do with them, please hire them." and the top-down directive that every boot-on-the-ground with half a brain knew would result in majorly increased chaos was to tell them to f-off! My conclusion after tons of reading is that balkanization was part of the intention as part of prepping for Oded Yinon. (I won't even start on the various secret societies (ancient mystery religions) obsession with Solomons temple and rebuilding the third temple, which would require the destruction of Al Aqsa)

Then as I started truly analyzing 9/11 and doing what the intel bubbas call "threat finance", I keep ending up at deep state actors heavily tied to Israel (and the UK) even within my (US) government. For an example that is even mirrored in this recent escalation, are indicators of pre-knowledge via trading that occurred prior. This happened on 9/11 (by a firm formerly chaired by AB Buzzy Krongard, A.B. Brown, acquired by Banker's Trust turned Banker's Trust-AB Brown) and before 10/7, and in a way that is mathematically provable to be major outliers.

My point is that there are much deeper things going on that surface analysis will fail to provide understanding for. If I went into further detail, I would for sure be seen as a "crazy conspiracy theorist"...

The reason people think only 10,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed is that is lowball number the UN made up to not offend and anger Russia and China.

It is estimated that 25,000-75,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed just in Mariupol and surrounding areas.

That article you cite, uses this haaretz opinion article (https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-10-20/ty-article-op...) as evidence for Netanyahu bolstering Hamas. The main point presented is here:

"Releasing Palestinian prisoners, allowing cash transfers, as the Qatari envoy comes and goes to Gaza as he pleases, agreeing to the import of a broad array of goods, construction materials in particular, with the knowledge that much of the material will be designated for terrorism and not for building civilian infrastructure, increasing the number of work permits in Israel for Palestinian workers from Gaza, and more. All these developments created symbiosis between the flowering of fundamentalist terrorism and preservation of Netanyahu’s rule."

The idea that these points prove that Netanyahu purposefully bolstered Hamas is tenuous at best.
> Boston College research professor Peter Gray specializes in the nature and value of play.

Of course Peter finds play in everything because that's his frame of looking at things.

The entire thing is a bit of a joke in how simplistic and fallacious it is.

Work is not play because it's unpleasant but the HG work is play because it's fun (not much, it's social, is challenging/not routine/boring and it's optional). It has to deliberately dismiss the need of survival as "well, but they were many so some could avoid working for a month and all would be good " so the reward (food for survival) was not the goal and the goal was play.

If there's an abundance of resources that allow you to survive and you don't have a high demand, then you'll have less stress than in other scenario. How is that not Economy 101?

There's this fetichism for "the simple life" from people that, I'd conjecture, clearly don't like theirs that much and project it unto others, where they get surprised at "those basic people" having skills, proficiency and actual culture and the capacity to be happy. How can they be happy without competing for a Tesla to make the neighbour jealous, seems to be the silly type of thinking. One of "ignorance is bliss".

Extremely poor article in every sense. He should read more or actually engage in anthropology. Surveys don't cut it, I'm afraid.

The cherry on top is: "machines should work for us, I don't want to have to produce the drivel for my work, please someone release me from my 'toil' so I can just drink wine with my friends."

I don’t know if Google has GPUs on the computers in their massive server farms.

> htmx, a disciple of hypermedia, available only in hardcover do not look for alternatives, has been manifesting itself into existence recently

As a screen reader user with no way to read words written on paper (short of getting a scanner and spending hours on putting books through it), I have to look for alternatives. I hate it when authors do this. I get why, but it's still frustrating.

There's also the fact that the author of this article decided to embed X posts as unlabeled screenshots for some unknown reason. This breaks accessibility, copy/paste, translations, flexible screen layouts and probably a bunch of other things I'm not aware of. Putting text in images is never a good idea, much less so when there's a perfectly fine embeds API for GOd's sake.

I'm really saddened to see somebody who claims to care about web standards be so dismissive of accessibility concerns.

Hasbro tried the video game business back in the 1990s. They bought Atari assets and name in 1998, and Microprose as well, and became a pretty major player, but it flamed out. Video game development/publishing is a tough business.
Yes, Genesis is a great example of this. The Old Testament is a religious text embedded in an agricultural society and reflects the need to come to terms with that.

> Are you asking about how one can possibly be "curious" in the face of a catastrophe like this, and what that even means?

I am asking: can you be curious about whether it may have be possible for these (and future) deaths to be avoided, had some humans acted differently than they had?

I suspect this may seem like a very strange question, and I propose that that is an artifact of the problem.

> If curiosity means a detached-technical attitude, that is not an appropriate response to this topic...

Here you are representing a subjective belief as knowledge, on a matter where people's lives are at stake. Can you be curious about whether this approach as a moderator on a website frequented by some of the most powerful minds on the planet may be preventing lives from being saved, or whether it is part of the underlying causality of why these powerful minds can't keep it together when discussing topics like this (which may also contribute to the causality underlying deaths)?

Agreed

And maybe Israel needs to agree that Palestine has the right to exist
So let me ask you something. Which one of the following three options is the correct one?

During the past 40 years the amount of oil and natural gas remaining in known reserves:

- Was cut in half

- Stayed about the same

- More than doubled

If you answered more than doubled you’d be right.

More and more oil and natural gas reserves have been discovered and much of it in just the last 10 years (including off the coast of Gaza, go look it up).

This means they are not running out like most people think.

We need to switch to cleaner energy now, we can’t just wait for the dirty stuff to run out. But because we are constantly discovering new accessible supplies the threshold for running out keeps getting pushed further back, and we haven’t even really started to tap several suspected massive reserves in the arctic and elsewhere and Russia is rumored to be sitting on discoveries that they haven’t even announced to the world.

People wrongly think that as we use more oil and gas, the reserves will run lower. They hadn’t realized that as technology improves, it becomes more possible to find and extract fossil fuels.

To prevent the absolute worst effects of climate change, oil and gas reserves must stay in the ground. But they will never run out, just become more expensive to extract.

We just need to create alternatives that are cheap enough that extracting oil for burning and not manufacturing isn’t cost effective to do anymore.

The technology to replace fossil fuels is coming, and it’s been dropping in cost profoundly in recent years. There’s every reason to believe that we will make this transition, it’s just a question of getting better energy density with existing technologies and getting them widely deployed with less exotic materials.

When electric cars have a 2000 kilometer range and cost 1/2 of the price to refill, gas vehicles won’t stand a chance.

Have faith. Things are dire but they are far from lost. We do need to shift society, and quickly, but that only happens when the system that got us in trouble gets used to cause the transition to sustainability.

I am not a doomer so perhaps we don’t see eye to eye on things. But the idea that we are going to run out of oil anytime soon is a falsehood that’s widely perpetuated, and it means that a lot of our thinking needs to change from “before the end of oil” to “proactively change towards a defined and sustainable solution” as we won’t be forced to stop using it as it won’t run out…

This is not a structure. It's a situation.

No - the only assumption is yours you're making here. No one is saying that.

No one said they would.

VapourSynth goes out to 10 bit, 12 bit, 16 bit, FP16/FP32 and all sorts of other weird formats.

Its also Python. Which is nice, in terms of readability. And automatically threaded through pipelining, unlike Avisynth.

All of this makes it extremely good for hooking into PyTorch. For instance, VS will automatically queue up processed frames for diffusion or upscaling models. I even tried to hack MVTools into a diffusion video script for temporal stability, with (so far) limited success.

I cannot fathom how you arrived at that conclusion - there are so many systems that need to display the results of complex data queries where caching or precomputing the results does not make sense - waiting several seconds for results would be normal in those cases.
