> would propose a way to move forward for Israel would be a one-state solution: to recognize Palestinians as equal people with human rights, give them citizenship in a democratic rule, and allow them to return to their land. All of this without any military occupations.

I second this. South Africa managed to end apartheid without the need to split in a white-people country and a black-people country. The same can be done in Israel too.
If the government is providing healthcare, as it does in many countries, then they have it already.

You're completely ignoring the harm to small business and individuals and putting unreasonable demands for money by collective punishment. If you don't want to release open source, then never release it. Pretending to be open source and simultaneously demanding money is resentment, sour grapes, and trying to have it both ways. Maybe you've seen what happens most often when FOSS projects relicense or go closed source: they die.

Is there any way Israel could undermine Hamas with prosperity? Make the lives of palestinians better, give back settlements, etc? Get average palestinians to think "wtf who are these terrorist asshats, Israel is a good neighbor."
Depends on the TZ environment variable.

If you're generating a billion tokens, you might do better with dedicated instances, iirc they used to say if you were doing more than a few hundred million a month dedicated things were cheaper.
So far we see confirmations of why the US needs to cut foreign aid to Israel. While the US is trying so hard to focus their efforts on their "pivot to the Asia-Pacific", Israel is pulling it back to expending resources on the Middle East.

Letting Netanyahu and the Likud party undermine Palestinian statehood isn't a long term strategy and, if the US state dep have any sense, they'll aim for a real resolution to this conflict, not just promises of "working towards a two state solution"
Funny that our standards for animal safety are higher than those for humans.
The more I've thought about that lecture the less I really agree with most of the things he raised, for the simple reason that Apollo is never, ever going to happen again. It's a lot of argument from increduality (e.g. it's easy to pretend starship launch's are "too many", without addressing that practical reusability has been a thing for years right now).

At it's peak, the Apollo project was funded to the tune of 1.1% total US federal outlays during the time period it ran. That's an enormous amount of money, which failed to produce a remotely sustainable result. You got what you got: moon landings done quick, and then never again.

The modern Apollo project is SLS which...is a big, expensive, absolutely cannot fail rocket (which is really a jobs program for preferred contractor districts, with technology choices decided by politicians not engineers).

Basically the SED lecture spends a lot of time gesturing at Apollo, but never addresses the actual problem which is NASA is funded the way it's funded: of course they know they're going to miss their launch dates, they're not funded to hit them, and they're probably going to wind up redesigning the mission once Starship is flying to orbit and actual performance numbers are realized off-paper. The SLS is the SLS for the same reason: at the time the program started there was no SpaceX, nor Space Shuttle and it was something of a national embarrassment the US didn't have a manned space capability but the Russians still did.

In short, for a lecture which opens talking about people worrying about disagreeing with their superiors, he stays well away from the actual live-wires of the issues.
> No amount of downtime - scheduled or otherwise - is acceptable for a service like Knock

doubt.jpeg

If you have a complex system, you have incidents, you have downtime. A 15min downtime window announced in advance is fine for approximately 100% of SaaS businesses. You're not a hospital and you're not the power station. So much fake work gets done because people think their services are more important than they are. The engineering time you invested into this, invested into the product, or in making the rest of your dev team faster, would've likely made your users much happier. Specially if you can queue your notifications up and catch up after the downtime window.

If you have enterprise contracts with SLAs defining paybacks for 15min downtime windows, then I guess you could justify it, but most people don't. And like I mentioned, you likely already have a handful of incidents of the same or higher duration in practice anyway.

This is specially relevant with database migrations where the difference in work to create a migration of "little downtime" to "zero downtime" is usually significant. In this case though, seeing as this was a one time thing (newer versions of PostgreSQL on RDS allow it out of the box) it is specially hard to justify in my opinion, as opposed to if this was going to be reused across many versions or many databases powering the service.
Homeopathy is a scam. We should stop pretending it has anything to do with real medicine and pull it off the pharmacies.
In a way, they were not correct so far (in part also because of their actions, but not only due to their actions).
Honor among thieves made the D&D lore appear generic. It wasn't a bad movie but it didn't utilize D&D to the extent it should have been utilized. It could have been just as good if it was a normal fantasy movie without the D&D IP. There's great depth in the D&D world and I would say much more complex and imaginative than LOTR.

Only the D&D universe allows for games like the BG series or Torment. It's all about the lore.

Let's make no mistake, D&D is all about the lore. The RPG mechanics are pretty generic. You have thousands of cookie cutter rpgs out there (especially jrpgs) with complex and interesting game play mechanics that are largely forgettable. D&D is still relevant not because of the game play mechanics, but because of the lore. And this lore was not really used very well in Honor among thieves.

Maybe you're right though. The D&D universe is specifically designed to support complex narratives and generic ones as well. Though for honor among thieves with the D&D name featured so prominently in the title I'm sure most people unfamiliar with D&D walked away thinking that D&D was some generic fantasy universe. D&D Lore is better, deeper and more complex than GOT or LOTR by a huge margin. It's barely comparable it's like comparing GOT with the Harry Potter universe.
I think that GP was referring to a different hospital. Al Jazeera had claimed that the Israeli Air Force had bombed the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, killing 500. The missile was found to be from PIJ and did not even hit the hospital but the parking lot. Al Jazeera continues to deny this last I checked.
But you the thief don’t know which coordinates to spoof, and location services uses several data sources not just GPS.
If we’re rationalizing animals (instead of rational), then it follows that the more power/ability someone has to be rational, the more power they have to retcon (essentially) what they want to do as okay. (Rationalize it)

The best way to deal with CSP is to never allow a CSP directive in your HTML or response headers. It's one of the worst, most confused, harmful specifications in the collection of modern Web standards. At the very least, anyone who isn't on the security team at an org should be forbidden from touching anything related to CSP. (If the org isn't big or organized enough to have a security team, that would be a set of size 0. Seriously, don't use it.)
The device drivers for these baseband processors really should be run inside virtual machines. Most modern processors support IOMMUs [1], and assuming that (hopefully) modern cellphone processors have IOMMU support, the operating system should be updated to running device drivers in an isolated container or VM.

With Linux not being a microkernel there’s a high likelihood the device driver expects to run in kernel mode. We probably will need to have a little a Linux VM containing the driver, and create a system that propagates its I/O back to the host. It’s a lot of overhead, but I’m not sure if there any other way of ensuring secure device drivers on Linux.

[1] Ancient device drivers expected full unrestricted DMA, i.e. full unlimited read/write access to RAM. But IOMMUs (VT-d on Intel) let us pretend to give such device drivers full DMA while isolating them.
I’m curious if their lawyer has a defense in saying that they advised against it, but were told to try it anyway.

I’m even more curious if the change of ToS alone could be grounds for a trial, even a class action—making the risk not even worth the try.

Even harder to swallow: discover that the lawyers using the class action got hold of the data from the leak and used that in their marketing.
By the end of the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire had the largest Jewish population in the world, as it provided a principal place of refuge for Jews driven out of Western Europe by massacres and persecution.

It’s kind of infuriating to see people put trench warfare or mustard gas on the same pedestal as a tiny reaction that couldn’t even light a lightbulb.

There are different sets of concerns for the current crop of “really computationally intense text generators” and the overall trajectory of AI and the field’s governance track record.

Unable, or unwilling. The most damaging political assassination in history after Franz Ferdinand was probably when Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated because he was too close to a peace treaty.

With this ad hominem attack, you are contributing toxicity, and it makes having a nuanced online discussion about Israel-Palestine impossible.

> that embodies "human" (their) values

They have made posts (well, I can remember at least one, which I think was well-received) about how people working on AI safety/alignment should avoid having “leaving their fingerprints on the future”, meaning, making the AI aligned to specifically their values, rather than an impartial one.

So, I think they generally believe they oughtn’t have it aligned specifically to their values, but that instead they should try to make it aligned with a more impartial aggregate of human values. (Though they might imagine that a “coherent extrapolation” of typical human values, will be pretty close to their own. But, I suppose most people think that their values are the correct ones, or something else playing the role of “correct” for the people who don’t think there are “correct values”.)

Do they put enough of an emphasis on this? I’m not sure. I can say that I certainly don’t look forwards to the development of such a superintelligence (partially on account of how my values differ from theirs and from what I imagine to be “the average”). But, still, “aligned with some people “ still sounds a fair bit better than “not aligned with anyone”.

So, I’m mostly hoping that either superintelligence won’t be developed, or that if it is, God intervenes and prevents it from causing too much of a problem.
Pretty much exclusively due to their actions and some particularities of the specific technology which don’t seem to apply to AI.
Yes, road safety is a serious health problem.

On the topic of diet.. I switched to carnivore (mostly red meat). I tend to have one big steak a day. I don't feel sleepy until 8-9pm.

There are days that I KNOW I won't have time to eat, and those days I either fast completely or I start my day with a (Bulk.com - not affiliated) hydrobeef protein shake (2 scoops). Those days I feel steadily energized 8am-8pm as if I've had 2 espressos.

I find it all to be in the food. I remember listening on Huberman Lab that caffeine doesn't give you energy, it merely 'blocks fatigue' (which means fatigue is still there - just suppressed).

Decent sleep and food that doesn't hurt you is the only way to thrive.
The Rafah crossing is effectively controlled by Israel as well. Egypt gets ~$1.5B/yr in defense aid from the US ever since the six day war in exchange for playing nice with Israel. That has been interpreted by Egypt to mean including Israel in decisions regrading the Rafah crossing and enforcing the Israeli blockade there.
And how much would it have cost you to file a lawsuit?
Good friend of mine never smoked in his life, aside from cigars. Didn't inhale. One day he developed a cough, went to the doctor, diagnosed with throat cancer. Died about 9 months later, at 55 years old.

On a second reading, I do think substituting "[that]" for "...those that pack heat, but are scared to hold" is forced enough to be a misquotation. I was mostly joking, but as far as that factually quote from the song, I retract that.
Conversely if you have reliable payload to the lunar surface, delivering special-use lunar escape vehicles to keep on standby is a better option then having the entire mission pay an ongoing cost for what should be an exceptional and unlikely scenario.

The problem of "we need to get off the moon now" is "okay, but where are you going and what's going to be there that's more useful then where you are?"

It's not unreasonable to note that a medical emergency would be much better dealt with on the moon - where you have gravity - then in orbit, where you don't. Whereas if you need to bail out and get to Earth fast (which you can't) then you'd be better off just dropping a vehicle which can do that onto the surface.
Sounds like a training criteria that said billionaires would be fools to include then?

After all, any one proactively being parsimonious will be outcompeted by those we aren’t - at least until the apocalypse happens. Then everyone loses.
One of my favourite releases of 2023 was a well restored edition of Laurel & Hardy's first year (1927) of films[1].

The copyright holder had neglected them somewhat with them only being released in ancient DVD-era masters.

This new release gives the films a full digital restoration based on the best archival materials from around the world.

I genuinely think without public domain day, this never would have happened and I very much hope we see a similar edition of their 1928 films next year.

This is an unpopular but more tenable solution. The federal government should step in should anyone be homeless and find them better living conditions and comprehensive services especially in under-utilized, lower cost areas where it is cheaper to deliver services. The federal government level is necessary because it amortizes the financial risks more fairly than dumping the costs on specific municipalities.
> illustrations or cover art or a forward, etc,

OT, but isn't it called "foreword"? You're the second person in this thread calling it "forward" which means something completely different to me, while "foreword" is basically a literal translation of the word for it in my native language.
The history before October 7th is generally that for every Israeli civilian killed by Palestinian terror attacks, there have been 2-5 Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers or police, at least in the last 20 years or so. Even the monstrous Hamas attacks from October 7th don't reverse the death toll comparison (and that's before the invasion).

So, if anything, a more accurate description is that October 7th was a boiling point where Palestine retaliated for decades of oppressive killings.

But the reality is that neither is the right framing. The October 7th attacks on innocent civilians aren't justified or justifiable. The following invasion and widespread murder of innocent civilians aren't justified or justifiable.

A ceasefire and peace deals must be imposed to keep the situation under control. All those who have caused the death of civilians, both in Hamas leadership and Israeli leadership, should face international justice, and new leaders should be installed that are committed to a lasting peace process.

To reiterate the argument, one of the constraints on conveying modified versions of AGPLv3 is the text I quoted at the end - that the entire conveyed version be licensed under the AGPLv3.

Supposing OPs arguments are correct that third parties don't have the right to relicence apache licensed code... you can't do that?

By "compatibly licensed" I meant nothing more or less than "licensed under a license such as Apache 2".

I'm not a lawyer though. I'm not saying this interpretation is correct. In fact I'm somewhat dubious of it because it is obviously contrary to the purpose of the AGPLv3, and I believe the people who wrote the license were in fact lawyers. That doesn't mean they couldn't have made a mistake though, and I would describe my current honestly come by opinion of the AGPLv3 as "uncertain and doubtful".

It might not be good computer science to use one tool to solve 50 different problems; but it's not bad computer engineering to use one tool to solve 50 different problems that fit within its capabilities rather than using 50 different tools, all with their own operational expertise.

There's no need to have the best tool for every job. Although it's also important to be able to see when a many purpose tool is insufficient for a specific job as it exists in your system and then figure out what would be more appropriate.

Template to opt out of 23andMe's arbitration clause and class action waiver
Hi all, I'm a longtime "arbitration is evil and you should opt out" proponent. To make things easier for my friends and family, I would regularly pre-write emails or prepare letters for them to opt out of arbitration.

I started putting these into a repository. We have templates for Snapchat, Discord, and Etsy as well.

I have this on GitHub to make it easier to suggest or make changes. I hope this is evil.
My goals for 2023 were:

- Alternate marketing weeks and coding weeks to force myself to actually do marketing work.

- Focus on SEO and get to 5,000 monthly visitors.

I'm off by an order of magnitude on the traffic goal and still at $0 MRR. Here's my 2022 year in review post where I laid out those goals: https://www.teaminal.com/blog/2022-year-in-review/ (2023 coming soon)

The big problem with fentanyl is that it is an extremely potent drug with a low therapeutic index, which, with the poor quality control of street drugs, is a perfect recipe for overdoses.

I am not saying the fentanyl should be made legal, but its criminalization is a big part of the problem. It is also why it is used so much over other, less risky opioids. Because it is so potent, only small quantities are needed, which makes trafficking easier.
