Sibling post goes sufficiently into why the IDF cannot be taken at their words as well as how the Gaza Ministry of Health can by (btw. the Gazan MoH is as much a part of Hamas as the UK department of health is a part of the Conservative party).

However I’d like to talk a little about the murder of Shireen Abu Akleh. At first the IDF claimed she was shot by Palestinian resistance, then they claimed she was shot on accident, and finally—in light of overwhelming evidence—they admitted to have targeted her. The soldier that shot her has not been named, let alone punished. There has been no legal action taken against anybody within the Israel army, no checks, not balanced introduced to prevent a murder like this in the future, no nothing. A murder without consequences of a journalist does not exactly inspire free press.

Now regarding the al-Ahli hospital bombing on October 17th. There is nothing conclusive about who is at fault. Not everybody agrees that it wasn’t Israel. What we do know is that, (a) yes the number of casualties was probably inflated, (b) it was likely not an Israeli airstrike, (c) the evidence originally cited by Israel showed an Iron Dome rocket intercepting a Hamas rocket in Israel too far from the hospital to have been the cause. This leaves number of possibilities, including: another misfired Hamas rocket, an artillery shell fired from Israel. News sources seem to lean on the former, but there is no consensus.

What we do know is that Israel shouted a bunch of unrelated stuff which they claimed were evidence of it being a Hamas rocket, evidence which was later proven insufficient, unrelated, or just wrong. Officials within the IDF also claimed to have lied in the past, but this time they were being honest.

Where are you seeing Japan making that claim? From the article:

> The report noted that dead fish had begun washing ashore almost four months after the plant began discharging the water – which contains small quantities of the radioactive isotope tritium – into the Pacific.

> But no one has been able to confirm the cause. “The cause is unknown at the moment,” Mikine Fujiwara, a local fisheries official, told the newspaper. “We plan to sample the seawater at the site and examine it to uncover the cause.”
>Why not enforce it here with something like an age verification?

While I'd love this technical utopia, the Internet is a global construct. All it takes is someone in another country to decide they'd like to prey on kids by selling them porn, and your age verification goes out the window.

To use your analogy, if the government can't even stop licensed stores in fixed physical locations from selling alcohol to kids (because it does happen), then how is one country going to enforce this in a globally distributed, virtual space?
No, it isn’t. It’s about power. There’s nothing a Canadian ISP can do to prevent kids from finding porn online. If the Canadian government actually cared about this they wouldn’t use (hopelessly ineffective!) ISP level blocking. They would be funding an information campaign on device-level content blockers and be funding a browser add-on and block/allow list.
Then how does ChatGPT end up providing a better/equivalent medical diagnosis than doctors (even though they are the "masters" of the causal pathways)?

I'm in a similar boat. My mother worked with software simulations for the AEGIS system. Not very common work for black women in the 1980s. She earned her mathematics degree in 3 years, graduating at 20, and used to program computers with punch cards in the 70s.

Now she can't tie her shoes consistently.

>"Where are the parents?"

Blaming the government for whatever their child does. It seems most parents, they have outsourced the primary education of their kids to the government and tiktok.

I told one such parent that the government is only in charge of educating your child to get a job, not teaching him basic behavior, values and life lessons, and that parent said "no, I pay taxes, I expect the government to teach him everything". Nuff said.

Couldn't you write it in Golang? That's also popular for creating standalone executables (ignoring the dynamically linked libc when necessary).

I'm not saying you're obligated to switch. I just assume you wrote bc in C because you find it fun, based on your "Why I write C when I care about memory safety" post.
Historically the distinction between upper and lower case has been one between different scripts for carved/engraved letters (where curved lines are awkward), and handwriting which does not have any such limitations.

Being "casually predictive" does not mean you have provided all the variables of your prediction in the data. Protein creation is not just _poof_ new proteins. There are steps and interactions and you don't need to train on all of that. Do you want a list of all the interactions of protein creation we are aware of ?

The zionists have been trying to ethnically cleanse the palestinians and their leadership has made that very clear.

Gazans are involved as victims, but they also support Hamas since that is the only group that stands up for their rights and dares to fight back. You may not agree with them, but I do and completely understand the mindset. The only reason we even talk about Palestine now instead of allowing a slow genocide to happen, is because of the bravery of those men from the resistance who dared to fight back against the oppression.

You made my point for me. It's less about steering wheel checks and more about taking liability. They can remove the driver and take liability only if they are confident in their system. They are not.

Feeling a little skeptical, but I'd love for someone to explain where the energy is coming from. From the paper:

In fact, an Air-gen device made from protein nanowires, which was kept in the ambient environment for over 3 years, still produced a similar voltage output ...These time spans are much longer than the typical hydration time, supporting the sustainable mechanism based on a dynamic equilibrium ...
The Air-gen device is not a “perpetual motion engine”, because the energy comes from the electrostatic energy (not kinetic one) of discrete water molecules in a vast open source.

Does this mean that the energy they're harvesting is a result of imparting a charge on otherwise neutrally charged water molecules, but because it's infinitesimally small compared with the "vast source", you can disregard any net effect from the perspective of the harvester?

If so, this doesn't feel "right", because this implies that a charged particle's state is at a lower energy state than a neutral one. If that were so, wouldn't the universe tend to that lower energy state by default?

Again, I'd appreciate if someone could tell me where the energy is supposed to be coming from, because "TANSTAAFL" seems to be being violated here.

Thanks! A lot of people commented on the music. I reused it in another game which went slightly viral in the UK and the newsletter responsible said it was "unintentionally creepy" which isn't quite true as it was totally intentional.
This page is very well designed! I really like that it puts the focus on text arrangement, font sizes and the strength of border lines around the cells and whole tables. Looks very pleasing.
You want to check out TheBloke's Discord server in that case. There is a lot happening there, and sadly not on the indexable open web.
While I don't deny many of the atrocities that the Israeli government seems to be doing, it's only part of what's going on. I support Israel withdrawing from Gaza (aside from providing aid) and focusing on actual defense, but Hamas will still be active. There's also more work that has to be done in both Israel and Gaza. It's not just a one-and-done situation that's as simple as "hey Israel, stop doing the bad thing".

I have been using my own RAG tool bookmarklet[1] to help get quick assessments. I asked "is the author optimistic about the New York Times for the future" (and got an answer that was basically "No." You've read the whole article--you can tell me if that's accurate).

Unfortunately not, because bc is used to build the Linux kernel, and requiring Go to build the Linux kernel is not good.

The problem with this theory is that fish can move to fresher water, and they often do.

It's not impossible, and we got recent examples of such events, but calling it Occams Razor is generous.

It's another, decent, working theory.
In the context of this conversation they're both "junk food" so it makes sense to group them. But soda and cookies are quite different things and it makes some sense to me that people could have different consumption patterns and tolerance for change between them.

I don't want to give them toooo much credit here but also I have to assume whatever industrial food giant owns all these brands has spent a lot of money on the question of how far they can cut costs on each individual thing without completely destroying the brand.

Did no-one actually read the article? This happening in Hakodate in Hokkaido, not anywhere near Fukushima.

"Experts have speculated that the migratory fish in both areas had become stranded after being chased to the point of exhaustion by amberjack and other predatory fish. Mass mortality events can also occur when there are sudden drops in the water temperature, causing the fish to go into shock, they added."

"Images of the fish have been widely shared on social media – many accompanied by Fukushima conspiracy theories."

"“There have been no abnormalities found in the results of water-monitoring surveys,” the fisheries agency said, referring to the water that has been pumped out of the Fukushima plant so far. “We’re concerned about the proliferation of information that’s not based on scientific evidence.”"

I'm shocked that Hacker News of all places would immediately leap to conspiracy theories.

<Anecdote> My first programming job was at a transportation enterprise with many programmers that had been working there 15-20+ years, many of whom mainly maintained the COBOL that ran the business. Many of those senior programmers were women; it felt like over 50% in the senior cohort. What really made me sad was that the younger programmers there were predominantly male (although still quite a few female!). That company mainly hired out of the local engineering colleges, so it was an interesting case study on how the number of women entering software engineering programs went down over the years. </Anecdote>
FWIW, if you’re looking to enter that space as simply and reliably as possible, I would pick up a Synology machine in whatever size you need. They have some competition but remain the best mix of stability in hardware/software/price imo.
> There are languages that were under- or over-represented by using public GitHub repos; there are communities that were under- or over-represented by looking at discussions happening in Stack Overflow.

I'm not sure I understand. Granted, they're never going to get perfect data about language rankings. But, why would AI assistants affect the rankings of language in a way that makes their methodology more unsound? They mention a drop-off in SO tag usage, and in Github pull requests: that's an indication of something, but is there any reason to believe it distorts the results so as to give undue prominence to one language more than another?

Intuitively, I can't think of how. "Undue" is the keyword: even if the prominence changed as a result of AI language assistants, wouldn't that be an indication that people are just using those languages more, with the help of AI assistants?

I'm really just wondering why, given the unavoidable squishiness of the methodology, the decrease in magnitude would bother them so much. They probably don't see their work as fundamentally hand-wavey, and maybe I just do, and that's the problem. I guess they're just investigating it, but the results seem to be more or less what you'd expect to conclude ab initio. I could be wrong, often am.
Call the customer service number on the back. They really do appreciate that info.
It's not just Intel. Open initiatives and consortiums (the phase two of the same) are always the losers ganging up hoping that it will give them the leg up they don't have. If you're older you'll have seen this play out over and over in the industry - the history of Unix vs. Windows NT from the 1990s was full of actions like this, networking is going through it again for the nth time (this time with UltraEthernet) and so on. OpenGl was probably the most successful approach, barely worked, and didn't help any of the players who were not on the road to victory already. Unix 95 didn't work, unix 98 didn't work, etc.
There has been previous work on deep networks implementing Kalman filters, and another interesting aspect I remember is that unlike a traditional Kalman filter a network is able to maintain multiple hypothesis and so it is less likely to have some of the jittery behavior that a Kalman filter might have under unknown changes of motion, sensor noise, etc. I wonder if the softmax operation in a transformer block might lose this property though, as softmax does tend to push for a single answer.
> Of course, we all know for a certainty that this had almost nothing to do with you're describing. The people how were actually designing the software knew that it won't happen in six months.

How do we know this?

Waymo has had this "almost" working for years. In theory you could get from the status quo to actually working in a short period of time, if you're sufficiently smart or lucky and have the right resources.

Or you could hit a wall for years.

The things currently happening with LLMs and image generation were the sort of things many people said were many years away, if not impossible, but we got there by basically throwing a lot of compute at some clever but relatively simple ML algorithms. Nobody knows until you try.

It's obvious that his estimates are optimistic, but optimism isn't inherently malicious.
> Turning off or camera or deleting the footage should be treated the same as not reading a suspect their Miranda rights.

It's your view that deliberately concealing evidence is no worse than not handling the administrivia of an arrest correctly?

As I recall, Miranda was introduced specifically to force police departments to tell arrestees their rights, which the law already required them to do. Miranda made it possible for courts to dismiss charges, if the suspect had been questioned without being told his rights. Trying to compel the police to obey the law just because it was the law simply failed. Th only way it could be enforced was to get several prominent prosecutions (of guilty people!) dismissed.
Found the workaround confession thread.

Because you effectively CAN'T dynamically configure subcharts with templating that's done in your main chart, see eg https://github.com/helm/helm/pull/6876 here comes the hack.

We run helm in helm. The top chart runs post-install and post-upgrade hook job which runs helm in a pod with a lot of permissions. The outer helm creates values override yaml for the subchart into a ConfigMap, using liberal templating, which gets mounted in the helm runner pod. Then helm runs in there with the custom values and does its own thing.

Not proud but it lets us do a lot of dynamic things straight helm can't.
My claim is that a more effective method of production or may not pollute more than a less effective method. There is essentially no reason to assume that an increase in productivity comes at an increase in pollution. Foregoing environmental concerns may in some cases allow increased productivity, but that does not imply that all increases in productivity are increases in pollution, that would be affirming the consequent.
Without translations it's not useful either. I'm not against writings but we can glean way more info from DNA and archeology than glyphs. Pictographs are useful but long dead writing methods aren't interesting unless we can understand them.

Granted, LLMs are a much more useful and substantial tech than Blockchain, it's an insult to [biological] intelligence to suggest that if we somehow train these things on JUST a bit more data, they will go sentient and murder us all.

The AI image generators still don't know that humans have five fingers. I think it's a long way to super-intelligence, friends.
