>That makes no sense: why prevent an election you’re going to win?

Because it is Abbas (PA President) who decides when there are elections and he was always going to lose badly?

> If the Israeli government had done anything to help Palestinians have viable jobs or elections, for example, then the Hamas leaders would have had to justify their positions rather than blaming all of their problems on Israel.

This doesn't answer to my argument, that Hamas has quasi-state resources, and no outside radicalization could compete with the radicalization they can create by simply controlling education.

Anyway, your argument is that it's Israel's job to manage the country next door. That would make sense only in a non-two-state reality where Israel is legally responsible and controls the relevant areas. You can't run elections in areas you don't control. But Israel hasn't controlled the Strip since 2005...

> The underlying problem is that Netanyahu liked having Hamas as a justification for why they couldn’t allow Palestinians to have a state, and as a bogeyman...

Partially true. But consider the alternative was to wage a war like this one. For this reason, nearly all of the Israeli Left supported the same policy... How many people would have supported this war without radical Hamas aggressive to begin it?
Baidu and other Chinese traffic is usually pretty quick to pay a visit when I set up a new domain.
There was a ceasefire. IDF ended it because Hamas fired rockets and didn't hold up their end of the hostage release bargain. There was a ceasefire before that, which Hamas broke by invading Israel and torturing, raping and murdering over a thousand innocent civilians.

Canonical avoid and may profit from this, because they are in a position to relicense all the AGPL code (thanks to the CLA or having written it in the first place). If you do want to make changes and keep those changes proprietary, throw money at Canonical and they will probably give you a license that lets you.

I want to repeat the sibling comments claim that this doesn't show the pitfall of free speech, but the opposite as this was organized top-down state propaganda. In fact sadly the *lack of free* speech made it impossible to criticize this boycott and following ever tightening restrictions.

That said: The question if "calling for the genocide of Jews" violates Harvard's rules on bullying and harassment or is acceptable speech is still ongoing and left to the reader. /s
So what happens if Face ID or Touch ID stops working for you, for some reason? I've never had it happen with Face ID, but it has happened with Touch ID (especially in winter months when skin on fingers gets dry). Does that mean you simply cannot change these settings or access these features?

One could imagine a disfiguring accident (or even just recovery from a cosmetic operation) rendering Face ID inoperable.
That’s why you invest in closing the patch gap.
Due to ChatGPT Plus at $20/mo, and it not replacing ChatGPT, it doesn't stand strong for price conscious consumers. But I bet there's plenty who don't care.
In this case it’s also complicated by the lead up to the Cold War: I’m sure plenty of Germans resented that but even the ones who would consider violence knew that there was no likelihood of being able to win a military confrontation with the USSR. Attacking an Allied military occupation in Germany would not only have had no direct effect, it might have made things worse if that lead the American army to withdraw and leave the troublemakers to the tender mercies of the Red Army.

Again, my point was that while those countries didn’t have it great, they had peace after brutal wartime conditions and the prospect of rebuilding. Yes, having to flee would be unpleasant but they ended up in another part of their country where they were unquestionably welcome, spoke the language, and were able to participate in the government (which certainly hadn’t been the case for the previous decade for anyone who wasn’t a committed Nazi), and then the victors were rather generous in helping them rebuild.
Turbulence-enjoyer reporting in! It’s good fun, little injection of adrenaline into an otherwise probably-uneventful journey!
Random comment, but just wanted to say I really appreciate your blog post, but also I appreciate the informative and helpful discussion between you and vasco here. Feel like this could have easily devolved into defensiveness on either side, but instead I learned a lot from both of your responses - I feel like these kinds of interations are HN at its best. Thanks!
You mean to have tighter control over subscriptions and user data. Seems like a net loss for users everywhere...
We can dig into the nature of the pareidolia.

The basic technique for coping with life's problems is to copy the answer from somebody more intelligent. I'm an ordinary person, facing a problem in domain D; I spot a clever person and copy their opinion on domain D. Err, that doesn't really work. Even clever people have weaknesses. The person that I'm copying from might be clever on their specialty, domain E, but ordinary on domain D. I gain nothing from copying them.

One way round this problem is to pay close attention to track records. Look to see how well the clever person's earlier decisions on domain D have turned out. If they are getting "clever person" results in domain D, copy. If they are merely getting "ordinary person" results in domain D, don't bother. But track records are rare, so this approach is rarely applicable.

A fix for the rarity problem is to accept track records in other domains. The idea is to spot a very clever person by them getting "very clever person" results in domain F. That is not domain D, so there is a logical weakness to copying their opinion on domain D, they might be merely ordinary, or even stupid on that domain. Fortunately human intelligence is usually more uniform than that. Getting "very clever person" results on domain F doesn't guarantee "very clever person" results on domain D. But among humans general intelligence is kind of a thing. Expecting that they get "clever person" results (open rank down) on domain D is a good bet, and it is reasonable to copy their opinion on domain D, even in the absence of a domain specific track record.

We instinctively watch out for people whose track record proves that they are "very clever", and copy them on other matters, hoping to get "clever person" results.

Artificial intelligence builds towers of super human intellectual performance in an empty waste land. Most Artificial Intelligences are not even stupid away from their special domain, they don't work outside of it at all. Even relatively general intelligences, like Chat GPT, have bizarre holes in their intelligence. Large Language Models don't know that there is an external world to which language refers and about which language can be right or wrong. Instead they say the kinds of things that humans say, with zero awareness of the risks.

And us humans? We cannot help seeing the super human intellectual performance of Alpha Go, beating the World Champion at Go, as some kind of general intellectual validation. It is our human instinct to use a "spot intelligence and copy from it" strategy, even, perhaps especially, outside of track record. That is the specific nature of the pareidolia that we need to worry about. It is our nature to treat intelligences as inherently fairly general. Very clever on one thing implies clever on most other things. We are cursed to believe in the intelligence of our computer companions. This will end bad, as we give them serious responsibilities, and they fail, displaying incomprehensible stupidity.
OK, most of us still here at this point probably have a handle on how derivatives work. Your jerk, snap (orders I will guess) etc probably map nicely to a famous American politician's speech about the economy at the time.

It was something like the "speed of increase in inflation is slowing down" I've tried to search for it but no joy.

Anyway, it was maths.
You have done it for me by linking to a source describing them as neo-Nazis.

You may continue on to the Wiki page on neo-Nazis to familiarize yourself with their ideology, if you'd like. You can go to the page you linked and click "neo-Nazi," in the first sentence and read all about that.
I'm going to nitpick your comment a bit, but this particular nit drives me crazy.

The term "antisemitic" is well-understood in English to refer to hostility towards Jews. I know the root "-semitic" is in there. Yes, Palestinians are also semitic, but that's not what anyone is trying to communicate when they use the word "antisemitic."

Please don't do it, because it's incredibly trivializing.
The 1967 borders, as strongly as they feature in all discussions, were never "agreed upon".

Even the famous UN security council resolution 242 deliberately does not define those borders.

Every peace discussion has used them as a basis for a future settlement, but until that happens it's premature to call them agreed anything.
The idea of not having your identity tied to one specific instance is very appealing.

> I wish Hamas would give up dreams of reclaiming the originally stolen Palestinian land

Hamas agrees to 1967 borders, fwiw: https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-said-set-to-recognize-19...

> indisputable moral highground

No side in this conflict has that. When they reach peace is when both sides would have found that elusive highground.

> clearly full of darkness

Yes, they are. They've been abandoned [1]. Note though, Hamas is not designated as a terror organization by most of the global south; and al-Qassam, its militant wing, doesn't take orders from Hamas.

[1] In fact, other studies show that Palestinians feel profoundly, existentially, alone: https://archive.is/rLq02
I still like minimizing container image sizes for the security and performance benefits. It's just not a strong enough reason to choose a different linux distro for your production environment. In other words, switching to alpine is the wrong approach to achieve smaller image sizes.

Unlike the early days of Docker, today you see popular distros provides multiple official image flavors depends on how minimal you are comfortable with. Or you can go even further with things like Google distroless, or even just scratch. I rarely see negative consequences when it's done appropriately. In fact, we see a lot of benefits by doing this. for instance, developers now understand their own app's dependencies much better ("oh your python app is having a cert error? does it come with its own cert bundle, use 3rd party package like certifi, ca-certificates from OS package manager, or a combination of some of them?" It's much easier to answer this question now than before)

Package only the stuff your app needs.

That article is factually misleading about Beersheba, the ad hoc committee switched it from the Jewish to the Arab state in 1948 but it was taken in the war.
Europe is approximately 7% of the land surface area of the world. We don't all live in small, densely populated places :)
I couldn’t interpret it as anything else as well, but that still leaves me severely confused.

Like, is that supposed to be a brag that in EU it is nearly impossible to fire an employee for watching porn on the employer-provided work equipment? If anything, I would consider firing them for being so stupid as to not consider one of many easily accessible alternatives that they almost certainly had access to, like a smartphone (just hopefully not an employer-provided one).
Luckily I had no severe biomarkers. Some minor ones, but nothing I didn't know already. I loved learning about my ancient ancestry, though (ie migratory patterns 300k years ago.)

On balance, was the utility worth the cost (of a breach)? Probably not, because I found no major actionable issues. But if I did find severe biomarkers, it would have been worth it. So I do still think I made the right choice.
Not sure, but looking at our market, it is an unbelievable period of shutdowns right now. Five competitor CEOs have reached out to my co-founder and I about winding down their companies due to inability to continue to fund themselves, and trying to sell. 2024 is going to be an insane year for market share growth for any companies that are able to endure to the end of it and beyond.

I am not in favour of striking, and you have misunderstood my message. You can see that if you read my replies to the other person who replied to me.
Hey I’m sure you mean well but maybe contact the person directly rather than diagnosing them in public which could be counter productive. Again I’m sure you mean well.
Isn't that basically Pocket, the service that people complain about endlessly as "bloat"?
There is probably some limit where making the dataset larger, with more diverse information, does not create meaningful improvements with current architectures. I do not know what that limit is or what it looks like, but I also don’t think we are particularly close to it yet.

“The Pile” dataset is the asset we needed to jumpstart this process, it had so much raw data it could get us over the hump, but Phi and some of the models trained on explicit reasoning make the limitations of random shit people say on the internet pretty clear.

I suspect it's likely that the services that the other posters use _do_ have downtime, they are just done at hours where they don't notice them.

I would literally have no idea if gmail went down from 1-2 am any day of the week. Hell. I wouldn't notice if it was down everyday from 1-2am.
It was! Previously studios did not want to disclose streaming numbers publicly, except under NDA to certain authorized union members.

Now writers (and actors, and anyone else) can use this information to better negotiate their worth with studios, rather than it being 1-sided.

Hahaha this is hilarious and a massively unintentional strengthening of a point being argued against.

Many of us haven’t seen those shows or memes your bubble is your bubble only. That is the entire point and thrust of this comment thread.

I suspect that's largely because of the flagging system and constant moderator attention, not because we're naturally doing better than other forums.

That said, it doesn't especially matter why it's better—it is better here than elsewhere. But that's a separate question from whether it's on topic.
Isn’t that how all syscalls work? The syscall number typically goes in a register.
That's not quite true. There are older buildings with brick walls that have bad cellular reception.

Conversely, some high rises have a too _good_ reception and the radio spectrum can get congested.
They attempted a novel hot staging sequence where the booster grid fins interact with the second stage exhaust to rotate the booster. The booster rotated too violently, and shook up the tanks like a can of beer before exploding. They need to improve the control systems so the rotation happens more smoothly.

I wouldn't praise the booster for exploding, but I would praise the engineers for getting it all the way to staging without engine failures. That's all most boosters are expected to do.

SLS isn't expected to explode because it's based on space shuttle parts that stopped exploding decades ago.

> ABA needs to deal out swift punishment as one of the protectors of that system.

This is part of the legal system. It shouldn't be, but it is. If you can toss a hundred issues the other party has to refute, you drive up legal costs to where litigation is no longer practical. The other side loses by default of not being able to afford litigation.

The ABA is, indeed, one of the protectors of the legal system, and have no vested interested in undermining it. The system means their constituents, lawyers, make more money.

Footnote: The mistake you made is that 23andme isn't undermining the legal system, but rather, justice. The two are not the same.
is it that the axis of rotation changes? the animation looks totally different after the reset. unfortunately, it has crashed my browser 3 separate occasions now, so that's putting a limit on further playing with it.

Haven’t we been here before in 1956?
This isn’t the problem people think it is.

Chain-of-Verification, Process Supervision, encoder/decoder and a plethora of other models are quickly maturing, AND it’s important to remember the current systems ARE NOT particularly optimized in any way for objective accuracy but instead to carry on conversation. It’s a conversation bot.

It’s also important to understand that most systems out there are building on top of the same AI APIs. There isn’t actually that much diversity in the ecosystem that’s broadly deployed yet, so problems with ChatGPT and Bard are “AI problems” and not limited in scope.

As the market matures, solution diversity will increase dramatically and systems that solve these major challenges will emerge and not necessarily from the incumbents. That’s been the pattern in tech waves of the past and why Apple always takes the wait and see and implement the winning solution in the product strategy so often.

These are early days and it’s important not to see the current generation as anything greatly exceeding the first demonstration level technology wave, hard as that is to imagine. It’s 2000, and we are looking at something like a Nokia 3210 (gpt 3.5) and 3310 (gpt 4) talking about how it has problems.

Yep. It’s not a iPhone yet. And we still think Nokia is going to dominate. And the current systems just have problems that are kinda holding them back… but this is the way technology waves break…
> AI can't know a fact, but it could parse inputs and build relationships between bits of data, based on how the users access that data, and under what headings it's commonly searched for.

Yes, but so can text analytics tools that are not transformer model LLMs, and they can do it without thousands of swimming pools of water[1] or a gigawatt hour of electricity[2]. Those LLMs are just algorithmic summary generators, and text summarizers have existed for some time.

> find that input, and match it with similar/related inputs and store the information in a more effective way

But that's not how these automation tools work – they don't store information, they generate statistically likely text based on the training corpus.

> You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works

Leaving the notice files in is in no way "marking which code is Apache 2 and which code is under some other license."

edit: this entire discussion evaporates if we abandon the idea that somebody would (or could) go through an AGPLv3 project that incorporated Apache 2 licensed code, and pull out just the Apache 2 code to use in another project. The only way to do that would be to download the Apache 2 licensed code from its original source and diff it against the AGPL project in order to distinguish the code you can use from the code you can't.

It doesn't make any sense. There's no sane preference for copy-pasting from the AGPL project rather than the original code that you've obtained under Apache.
I love that they released the report in Excel format. They collectively saved millions of man hours across the world from doing useless data scraping and reformatting.
Personally, I prefer raw sql over something like an ORM. So many times I want to get all users, with all posts, with all post comments (example).

You can do an array aggregate to get all users and their posts in the array, with build_jsonb_object you can make the posts an object of say id and content. But then you can't really make another array aggregate per post.

Besides the other reply, also it doesn't "turn on" to maximum brightness instantly. It takes on the order of several minutes for all the nuclei to absorb the neutrons and then start the radioactive decay that powers the light. Also you wouldn't see light from the whole star simultaneously - it would start from the center (because that's closer to you by the radius of the star), and light from the limb would take several more minutes to arrive (1 AU radius of the star = 8.3 minutes light travel time.)

So your eyes would have time to adjust.
Me too. Though I personally enjoyed My Liberation Note more.
