Respectfully, that prediction is a very general set of events that could be applied to any government.

It will come to pass unless it doesn't.

If you'll forgive the glibness, all good gamblers know that the past does not predict the future.

I'd suggest that the SA State is not allegorical to Israel, except in the minds of those who have an interest of believing that to be the case. Which is fine, for them.

However, what should be pointed out is the difference between a subjective moral analogy and a military-political analogy.

I believe that the only reasonable analogy that could be subjectively held is a moral analogy, for people whose self-interest is aligned with arranging the facts just so.

However, your point correctly rests with the more pertinent political-military analysis. But I think that your analogical analysis and conclusion is off, respectfully.

The SA State was fighting against a Western Media whose general position was determined at the beginning of the American Civil War. Even still, I'd suggest that it is a mistake to believe that such pressure as they exerted on the SA State is not a choice for them. The Media, and the associated political class, can and often do ignore or otherwise force contrarian positions on governments within the context of opposing internal politics.

Second, there is the popular concept of the nature of the Israeli-Palestine conflict and then there is the military geopolitical concept of which the majority oif the population is seemingly mostly unaware.

Which is not at all related to South Africa.

What escapes the awareness of the general population will continue to drive the actions of Western governments.

Last and probably least, the Palestinians aren't indigenous.

There's nothing more dangerous than setting up camp on the most hotly contested piece of land on the planet. As unlike most anywhere else, those fighting for it will be referencing the deepest available histories to internally justify their claim. Even hidden histories, and deeper than one might think.

> Hamas are a part of the Palestinian resistance.

Repeat that POV all that you wish. They will continue to be treated as an opposition military until they no longer exist. And then their replacements will be treated as the same.
Yes I think we’re all aware of that. Images of Stalin where people are edited out as they are purged come to mind. In the case of faked photographs these images were relatively few.

I think AI generated images open up a whole new realm fakery not just in quality but quantity and variety and ability to widely distribute those images. A person wanting to create a fake narrative could potentially make it very difficult to tell what is real and what is fake.
Given the supersonic flow, one directional communication only.

Given the impedance mismatch[0], even the parts of the solar system outside Kármán lines where the interplanetary medium can support pressure levels equivalent to normal speaking (including low Earth orbit), I'm told human ears can't respond to that pressure change properly.

Sensors can be built to pick it up, but that may not be in scope for your question as we can also do that for acoustic waves in the CMB.

While JS analytics may suit the needs of marketing professionals concerned with product sales and article visibility, those focused on precise traffic patterns, like daily devops, find GoAccess to be a more effective tool.

JS analytics face an escalating risk of inaccuracies due to the myriad ways data can be manipulated, resulting in the generation of unreliable events from JavaScript endpoints. Keeping up with the industry reveals an emerging trend of blockers using AI-driven detection, diminishing the relevance of JavaScript analytics in such scenarios.

I'd suggest you emphasize that near the top of your README, maybe with a cleaned-up version of the generated graph and some annotation of the data flow. To put it a bit pointedly, "nobody" will care about the data structure until they see that it means they don't have to manually thread data down through the right branches of a tree. That's your big selling point.
They are probably partially compatible. With Duplo for example, it's easy enough to stack Duplo on top of regular LEGO bricks, but not the other way around. For stacking regular bricks on top of Duplo, you need to have bricks of the proper multiple in each dimension -- they need to be full height and a multiple of 2 in the other dimensions. The Quatro bricks are compatible in the same way -- you can easily stack them on top of Duplo or regular bricks, but not the other way around; You probably also need to do a transition layer from Quatro to Duplo to regular bricks.

I've seen people use Duplo and Quatro for space-filling when they needed a large amount of structural brick somewhere that won't be seen in the final model. Think having a LEGO city setup that has an underground level.

I agree with you. Right now I'm going through my grandfather's squadron records. Hoping to find the day that he crashed his motorcycle in Normandy to see what the CO thought about that. Apparently the other pilots were unhappy with him because they were banned from riding motorcycles after that.

Various cognitive biases obstruct rational thinking when allocating one's investments, such as the sunk-loss fallacy. It's a difficult thing to fight, even when you're well aware of those biases.

What I do is think "what would I do if this was all Monopoly money, and I'm just playing Monopoly with it?" I usually discover I would allocate things very differently.

I'm still not able to overcome my biases when dealing with actual money, but I can move in that direction. It helps.
They feel a diffusion of responsibility because they are never held responsible for it.
Seems like it’s still a bit of an issue. This [1] is rather a long read, but definitely worth it if you are interested in platforms.

Active Listening: An Overview
But lift and shift is not that, is it? It's having applications running directly on OSs (without containerisation or separation of dependencies like the database or physical disks) and moving it to "the cloud" to be ran on a VM in the same fashion.

I mean, if you're already with AWS using their services (besides EC2 for hosting) such as RDS or S3; moving to Azure SQL (or DB for MySQL or whatever) and Blob Storage is not just lift-and-shift anymore, since you are actually changing from a cloud provider to a different one.

AFAIK an actual migration to the cloud would involve rewriting some parts of the application to be cloud-native, such as using Service Bus for queues instead of a local Redis/RabbitMQ instance, using GCS instead of local disks, and using RDS instead of hosting your own single MySQL server.
The author just makes a ton of mistakes. Many photographers competently shoot and store RAW, and many know better than to mass convert low quality JPEGs to WebP. It’s HIS work, he can choose to make as few or as many mistakes with presenting it as possible. So I don’t think he’s representative of most photographers. It’s a technical discipline.

I guess the more technically interesting POV would be to suggest a solution. Probably he should use the black and white profile with HEIF and serve the WebP only to search engines, using the modern image tag.

Or, you could put Y information in the unused UV plane for WebP. I guess you could also decompress the original JPEGs better for the purpose of conversion. While not for him, it takes about 100 lines of JavaScript to author a Mobile Safari-compatible image bitstream, which is very little. The MediaCodecs API is great.

Anyway, the rant elevated my knowledge very little. It was more like anti knowledge. Like if you were to integrate the rant into an LLM, it would produce worse recommendations.
Whatever is the best they can make a DUV, planar process do will be used for decades to come.
I would not assume that it is a specific Azure problem from that statement. Many, many teams struggle to take advantage of cloud infrastructure because of habits and knowledge retained for operating the existing systems.

It’s possible given what they have, I t’s simply best to keep it on premise - at least to some degree. That would likely not be true with a successful re-architecture, but not everyone is up for that.
That's all correct in theory, but in my experience these things still happen and are usually outgrowths of bad engineering culture / shadow IT / not wanting to be reliant on your cloud infra / platform team (often for irrational reasons, sometimes not). They get built with entire teams taking responsibility on paper, but then before you know it, nobody from that team still works at the company or on that team. Usually these systems are also GDPR nightmares if they contain user data, because these people don't understand when you tell them they need to have a plan for deleting user data. They don't even consider it a legal barrier, they think you're putting stones in their way.

I've been on enough Cloud Archeology expeditions into the land of VMs where nobody knows what they do, it might as well be my job title now.
I don't get what you mean by "you must be this tall to play this character". Equating height to skill is a false equivalency. You can't get taller by practicing. Either way, it sounds like the devs just messed up the initial balance. It ain't the fault of the players who were serious about learning the character. That's the modern conundrum of games in the post SFIV era; constant balance patches before the full meta has been explored. Personally, I'm often dissuaded from trying to learn top tier characters in new games because of the fear that all the muscle memory I build will be useless when the game gets patched. It's gonna be interesting when Street Fighter 6 gets its first big balance patch a year in, and all the Ken and JP players take to their keyboards to complain.

I don’t think it’s fair to represent an edge case, “noteworthy for being different” type species as being just one example out of many. As far as I’m aware the behavior exhibited by sea horses is extremely rare, and I recall it being highlighted as such in, at least, The Selfish Gene. Can you think of other examples?
I don't have a lot of experience with Qt but recently was exploring both QtWidgets and QtQuick as options for simple desktop UI.

QtWidgets made creating forms massively easier thanks to QFormLayout and drag and drop designer.

There was nothing similar in QtQuick - Grid and Qt Design Studio were absolutely horrible for this.
Google marketed it that way but I could never reproduce a meaningful size savings without noticeable quality loss. You need to serve a LOT of video before even the top-end 10% savings was worth it, especially if your traffic was spread across many items so doubling your storage cost cancelled out a fair chunk of the total. I have no doubt that YouTube saw a savings but I don’t know how many other sites did, and I would be curious what the savings was relative to the extra power used by the millions of client devices which could’ve streamed H.264 at 10% CPU versus having the fan on high.
Words from the mouths of HR professionals are typically not “legally binding” either, I don’t know where you get that idea, but I recognize it’s a common misconception.

In most U.S. states your employment agreement is on an at-will basis and outside dismissal or discrimination for a set of protected reasons, you’re free to leave employment at any time, and your employer is free to let you go at any time.

Very few verbal interactions create a “binding commitment” for a company. All might be admissible if you brought suit, but “he said; she said; they said” is often more difficult with the passage of time (people are forgetful) and worse than written interactions, and just because you may be allowed to present them as evidence in your claim, that does not make anything a slam dunk legally.

A lot of what you will formally get upon receiving i.e. an offer of employment will be on company headed paper, signed by a person with authority (this is often “Delegated Authority”, that Role can do that Action is written down in Company Policies or a Company Handbook, which itself is reviewed and approved at very senior levels). That’s more “binding” and if you signed and returned, rejected other offers, then it fell through, you might see success in making a claim for losses and injury because you reasonably believed there would be a job and compensation. Even there it is going to say something to the effect of “this is not an employment contract, your status is at-will”, which significantly limits the liabilities of the company in most U.S. states.

So, short of the person you are talking to being a C-level executive or Company Officer, no, most of what you hear verbally isn’t “legally binding”.
The transformer engine is a fairly recent development (april this year I think) so I don't think they're very far behind.
I started building my own code editor, but cut scope and kept it limited to sth like a total key action conversion mod for JS programming:

IME this "second-guessing" is more often right than wrong. You can always return to a project that motivates you, but you can't get back time spent digging a hole deeper, and often it leads to tunnel vision and bad habit formation.

Not every "project" needs to become "finished" or "product".
Thanks for reminding me of the ‘from?’ feature!
I love Steampipe: it gives a simple and clear way to get feedback on many cloud resources. "select * from cloud" is a good synopsis.

Yes, there were some discussions about explicit tail call optimizations being the better solution.
Why are you doing so much work to save some third party money when they get defrauded?
Exactly. The cost to retool for the cloud is not insignificant.
JS analytics are increasingly susceptible to inaccuracies as data manipulation methods multiply, leading to the production of unreliable events from JavaScript endpoints.

Show HN: Quickify – EBooks/Web/RSS Android Reader Boosted by Speed-Reading Modes
Hey, HN. I am excited to present to you what my pet project has turned into after three years of development.

One day, I decided to create the most convenient application for reading all my favorite articles, as well as RSS feeds from Hacker News and other sources. The usual reading approach was not enough for me, so I loaded this application with five different reading techniques that help to achieve maximum productivity and reading speed.

1. Text-to-speech is the most popular reading method among Quickify users. I'm using it when I'm busy or my eyes need a rest. This method is available in many other applications, but trust me, I've optimized it to be the best among them all.

2. Speed-Reading, also known as RSVP or Spritz. This method is based on the fact that the speed of reading is limited by the speed of eye movement. By displaying one word at a time, you can read almost twice as fast with almost no training.

3. The Cursor reading method, with its moving cursor that highlights text at a preferred speed, is designed for enhanced focus and faster reading. It guides through the text, reducing distractions and the likelihood of skipping or re-reading lines.

4. The Bionic Reading method emphasizes the initial parts of words to speed up reading and comprehension. It helps the brain quickly process text with less cognitive effort, which is great for managing ADHD.

5. The traditional method of reading is still represented in the application, with all the usual tools such as highlights, notes, word translation, etc.

Lmao, almost spit out my coffee. Sorry, hope you find help.
All of these distortions as well as a practical exercise identify and help correct them are available in this book called "Feeling Good" that I think was published in the 80's or 90's.

I've seen them recycled targeting different audiences but the same core principles are used. I just recommend "Feeling Good" because it's on Libby / Amazon < $5.

I started keeping a weekly spreadsheet tracking my BURNS score and made an effort to regularly write down when I have a bad thought and put it on trial to see if it fits any of these distortions.

That paired with exercise alone has made a big difference in my mood.

But that's just all anecdotal.

> but no customer wants to give Nvidia monopoly money forever either.

From a consumer perspective, I agree. From a datacenter, edge and industrial application perspective though, I think those crowds are content funding an effective monopoly. Hell, even after CUDA gets dethroned for AI, it wouldn't surprise me if the demand continued for supporting older CUDA codebases. AI is just one facet of HPC application.

We'll see where things go in the long-run, but unless someone resurrects OpenCL it feels unlikely that we'll be digging CUDA's grave anytime soon. In the world where GPGPU libraries are splintered and proprietary, the largest stack is king.

Advanced results require advanced skills.

CSS is one of my favorite languages. And the only way I can consider CSS to be difficult is if you have no experience with HTML. If you try to do HTML by hand, then doing CSS by hand on top of HTML by hand is really easy and wonderful. And this is truly where you gain the fundamental framework for "getting CSS".

After that it was pretty obvious what the author is talking about.
Because you'll have to deal with the repercussions. I'd rather not.
But those costs don't go away -- the cloud provider is going to charge you for them, along with a premium for profit?

I'm used to organizations moving out of the cloud when they realize that it's more expensive if you don't have very peaky load demands.

Agreed: such tests are not sufficient to test the pre- and post-conditions themselves, and are definitely happy-path focused. But such tests may be sufficient to test the happy-path code itself (which the in-code checks are also testing). It would be ridiculous to have an entire test suite with no assertions for these reasons, but it's not ridiculous (in isolation) to see some unit tests with no assertions. In theory -- and this is not advice: theory and practice are different -- but in theory, if you've absolutely air-tightly tested the "happy path", then you've basically proven no other paths occur (short of cosmic rays).

But you could actually make this same argument about unit tests with assertions: do you have any test that those assertions are written correctly? Do you unit test your unit tests? Pre- and post-conditions living "in situ" are the equivalent thing to "control" and test assertions (respectively) living in your unit tests. Would you be more comfortable if the in-situ checks were simply cut/pasted into the unit test? I wouldn't be!
I wrote a paper on the relationship between the regions of the brain responsible for day dreaming (or the default mode network) and the dramatically reduced norepinephrine levels that occur (80% below waking) during REM sleep and the contents of dreams.

The author explains why thinking in terms of averages "across a big enough data set" isn't enough.

>Call me crazy, but I don’t give a shit about averages. For a gaussian "normal" process, probabilities say half of your sample will be above and half will be below the average (which is also the median in a gaussian distribution). If we designed cars for the average load they would have to sustain, it means we would kill about half of the customers. Instead, we design cars for the worst foreseeable scenario, add a safety factor on top, and they still kill a fair amount of them, but a lot fewer than in the past. [...]

>As a photographer, I care about robustness of the visual output. Which means, as a designer, designing for the worst possible image and taking numerical metrics with a grain of salt. And that whole WebP hype is unjustified, in this regard. It surely performs well in well chosen examples, no doubt. The question is : what happens when it doesn’t ? I can’t fine-tune the WebP quality for each individual image on my website, that’s time consuming and WordPress doesn’t even allow that. I can’t have a portfolio of pictures with even 25 % posterized backgrounds either, the whole point of a portfolio is to showcase your skills and results, not to take a wild guess on the compression performance of your image backend. Average won’t do, it’s simply not good enough.
You have to

1) Be comfortable routing traffic between on-prem and cloud over the internet or at least over a VPN, and

2) avoid the temptation to build your own platform (Terraform templates are a liability, not an asset!) and

3) Move tiny stuff first and bigger stuff later.

It’s amazing how many companies fail at that.
