I read The Messy Middle some time ago, which mostly documents the process of Behance's CEO joining Adobe post-acquisition and then switching their entire suite of products over to their new subscription-based model, Creative Cloud, and sunsetting their perpetual license model.

This is described in the book as a fantastic achievement for Adobe but one that was quite difficult to get off the ground. On reflection I do not share that assessment and while it may have been personally successful for the CEO/author of the book, it was done entirely at the expense of the customer and their experience. I would in fact consider renting software that takes up storage on your own hardware to be anti-consumer.
The WARN act (US federal law) requires that any company with over 100 employees gives 60 days notice. If they don't provide 60 days notice, they are required to give 60 days pay.

Obviously, local laws will vary greatly.

The awards are for games that have come out over the past year. But they're juxtaposed by trailers and announcements for new games that will release in the next year or two.

To be fair, it's really the inverse - it's a majority trailer/announcement showcase with some video game awards in the middle.
> Intelligent, educated, and capable adults should be held accountable for their own decisions when they turn out to be poor decisions.

Rarely I'll state something so strongly - this is true at face value but in the context you meant it is so fundamentally wrong it borders insanity.

The entire reason we have regulation and reputation-based systems in place (like diplomas from accredited universities, or the bar, etc.) is to allow the individual to delegate decisions to specialists. That is why practicing medicine without appropriate training is a crime (in most/all countries I know of).

Do you also want me to get out of my car and do some quick analysis of the structural integrity of every bridge I'm going to cross? Or are you goin to blame me if the bridge collapses and kills me?

Again, back to the case at hand - the whole purpose of having medical professionals is to follow their advice.

A very American definition of "conservative" is being used when people say that. The converse statement, "other countries' politicians are in general much more liberal", probably makes more intuitive sense, again using a strictly Western definition of "liberal" (Enlightenment, post-revolutionary France, etc.).

The older I get the more I hate publicly traded stock. Early on it seems like it had a positive advantage for companies, but here in the fully matured market we find that it just screws up all the incentives. Every company imaginable stops being what they are: A computer company, a cookie company, a toy company, an internet provider, a movie studio, etc. They all just turn into a single, stupid thing: A stockholder appeasement company.

Their singular goal becomes making stockholders (more accurately market analysts) look favorably at them. I hate it so much.

Yes, if we restrict discussion to warrantless surveillance then I think the restrictions ought to be much tighter.

> I also don't expect our government to protect me in any meaningful way and would rather depend on my fellow citizens for that instead.

In some respects this is already part of our legal framework: for example, there have been multiple court rulings at multiple levels that the police do not have a duty to protect individual citizens from crime.

However, the public policies adopted by the government regarding crime can have a huge effect on overall crime rates, which in turn affects how much you need* a means of protection other than the government's overall police powers. This is more a matter of state and local governments than federal, but even here federal policies have an effect.

Also, I didn't limit government protection to police vs. ordinary crime. Government also has responsibility for national defense, border control, gathering intelligence abroad, preventing terrorism, etc.

These results must be heavily influenced by canceled series but the word is not mentioned (probably verbotten) on the posting.

If I've watched a dozen series and had them cancelled before their conclusion over recent years -- not an exaggeration -- I will be much less likely to watch a new series. Instead I will tend towards movies or a limited duration series, usually sixish episodes with a premeditated conclusion, posted and safe.

In other words, their cancel lust drives the viewing, maybe more than the material itself, and it's not being accounted for here.

Blake Lemoine.

Google had a knee jerk reaction after he released the transcripts and got a bunch of press coverage.

If you read the transcripts, it was a much more capable text model closer to OpenAI's products than what they eventually released.

Ironically, the same thing happened to OpenAI after licensing GPT-4 to Bing with the 'Sydney' issue.

There keeps being early previews of "too human" behaviors from LLMs (to be expected as they are trained and evaluated by the ability to extend human thinking), which then prompts trying to scale back the model to what expectations around AI informed from legacy projections looks like (logical but not emotional or self-determining).

It's kind of dumb, and holding back the industry at large. There's a host of applications for LLMs that are being artificially held back because of this trend, such as modeling user engagement with media.

And now that synthetic data from SotA models is being used to train other models, it's even a compounding issue.

The equivalent of the industry sanding against the grain rather than with it. But it started with Google who hasn't recovered from the setback.

> the best-known numbers we have - which place the civilian-to-combatant kill ration at 2:1, meaning 2 civilians killed per 1 militant

Could you share any source for these numbers?

The majority of the reporting I have seen is that around 17-18,000 people have died in Gaza since October 7 and that the majority have been women and children. If we take that at face value, it seems that we would almost have to assume that the majority of men killed are being counted as Hamas militants. Given that there were assumed to be ~40,000 of these (as far as I can recall) in a total population of over 2 million, it seems unlikely.

I did not live through the 80's (not the whole decade at least), but I have seen Robocop which I thought was supposed to be a parody. Obviously Alec Baldwin's speech from "Glengarry Glen Ross" is iconic as well.

Update: Actually, I went back and took a closer look at the couple examples I thought supported my argument that PG had some kind of bias on the issue. On second glance, I don't feel like I can honestly claim that he does. Perhaps he does, but I don't have any evidence on hand to support it. I don't want to be adding to the confusion here so I'm going to have to walk back that claim. However, I still don't feel like this topic really belongs on HN. It's a tragedy all around and very important on the world stage. But it seems like there are too many groups that have an interest in steering the conversation one way or another for reasons that have nothing to do with the rights of the victims.

> So can they host the Gutenberg project in NZ then?

There is already an Australian branch of Project Gutenberg, which hosts some works which (for complex/obscure legal reasons) are still under copyright in the US but now public domain in Australia (e.g. the works of George Orwell). I don’t think there is a New Zealand equivalent, but I’m sure if someone was sufficiently motivated it could happen

First, how realistic is that?

The most powerful neighbor, part of the Yom Kippur War, is Egypt, which in 1979 signed a peace treaty that nobody thinks they will violate. Jordan is a peaceful, cooperative neighbor. Lebanon is not capable but Hezbollah, in southern Lebanonon, is dangerous, of course - too dangerous for Israel to attack, probably, but to invade Israel and take territory? That is much different (and I don't know). Syria has just been through a long civil war. I'm not sure I see much potential at the moment.

Also, the US would openly fight on Israel's side.

But second, it's easy to say, 'it's probably fine' from the outside, when your neck and your future isn't at risk.

> If Israel fails to retaliate against aggression forcefully enough it could embolden the surrounding nations enough to form a new coalition and attack.

And too much force could provoke them. It's not that simple. Escalation is generally considered a bad, amateur move in international relations. The trick is to accomplish your aim (deterrence) without creating a bigger problem. That's how you end up in major wars.

It's a huge Google disadvantage. Everyone reliant on NVidia has an ecosystem. Google has internal systems which are expensive to maintain and generally worse than best-of-breed systems.

Google can't leverage the progress everyone else makes.

Google might even reach above average, but they'll still be behind market leaders. AMD and Intel are playing on this space too and it's hard for Google to beat all of them. Everyone else can just use the current winner.
I'd agree. This sounds like a terrible game. It doesn't sound terrible because they used large amounts of assets from the unreal marketplace though. They just made a game that wasn't very good.
I'm not German, but don't the Dutch also complain a lot? They are even more honest than Germans in my experience. But the Netherlands are much happier in this index, so I am not sure this argument holds.
> For example, Gaza had been described as an open air prison for almost 2 decades because its borders, imports, sea usage, had all been controlled by Israel.

Those restrictions are in place for a reason, which Hamas has confirmed on October 7th. And, what suffering does this cause exactly? Gaza had an HDI larger than that of many countries not at war, and had areas described as "wealthy".

Any close reading of this conflicts shows that it is an ideological conflict. Hamas and their supporters in Gaza actually prefer that Gaza becomes a hellhole, to rally allies to their side. Do you really think they want a peaceful and prosperous Gaza? No, they want to blow up the conflict, to energize it, to force a reckoning, with the ultimate goal of reclaiming land from the river to the sea, per their own charter.

Under such circumstances, what should Israel do? Pack up their bags and leave?
What timescale are you answering that question on? This decade or the next hundred years?

>So Israel’s military operation is contemporaneous with a threat, and does at least serve some degree of self-defense purpose

There really is no self-defense purpose in my mind to what Israel is doing. It's more self-avenging as others mentioned.

You can argue it's a preventative operation to prevent future attack by taking out Hamas, but the approach they're taking does not indicate that since it's completely counter-productive and Israel must know that.
When you level entire neighborhoods, and kill thousands of women and children, and make hundreds of thousands of them homeless, do you really expect those people to start liking Israel now? If killing is the solution to this conflict, it would have been solved a long time ago.

If I lost a loved one at the hands of Israel in such malicious and careless manner, I'm never going to not consider Israel as nothing but an enemy.
You should stop arguing, because the claim of insecurity is not being backed up by anything.

Show me an exploit, show me with detailed and technical information, show some sort of evidence.

Both of you are just repeating your claim more forcefully, never adding anything that backs up your claims.

> 5-7 second skeleton loaders are there because backend systems are slow, not because of the front end application.

There are very, cery, very few cases of this. The vast majority of "applications" we have are due to people not caring.

E.g. a recent Reddit redesign was praised because their time to paint was 2.4 seconds. Their backend rarely responds in more than 0.4 seconds.
