This is a good summary of Islamic radicalization propaganda that seeks to use Palestinian civilians as pawns, with no regard for them. It is this narrative that keeps the Palestinains in prison.

The counterpoint is that you "must" face the reality that this is never going to happen, and that asserting that it will or should is equivalent to damning the Palestinians to the existence that they currently occupy.

Greater Islam does not have an army that can stand against the West, let alone do the Palestinians. All that they have are manipulated terrorists whose actions always cause much more destruction on their side than the inverse.

So I say again, the only realistic and humane view is to take your oppopsite position, recognize the immovable force, and actually attempt to save Palestinian lives via deradicalization and a relocation campaign.
At the risk of running the "partially correct" into the ground, I think that the conversion from Chromebook to "no longer a Chromebook but a poorly-specced Linux laptop" to still be "partially correct." It requires firmware configuration changes which may require some sort of jailbreak (per the article you linked)…and iOS devices have jailbreaks available, too, which allows the installation of other software.

Many things are possible for a suitably motivated person. But such things are unlikely to be done by your average device user (of any sort), because they don't have such motivation and can't even conceive of why they would bother.
It’s in the name. Non profit.

Sorry but let’s be real they are using other people’s money to do stuff.

When there is no tangible incentive (helping other people is noble but isn’t an incentive at greater than an individual level - it is an emotional response) it’s impossible to be effective.

I think you should recommend that you should hire people. Even one or two hired people with a bonus incentive will be far more effective. That’s why most successful big “volunteer” organizations have paid employees who give a shit and rally the free volunteers. Their job depends on them making other people motivated to do the job.

If it’s not possible then I’d suggest you try other ways to help.

I am a volunteer myself. I only volunteer at places where I know they’re staffed and not wasting money.

My time is limited. I’m not going to waste it being triggered by incompetence.
Seconding this, my L5 has been a daily driver for almost a year and while their are hiccups it's more than usable day to day. I spend a lot of time on the phone for work.
Aluminium certainly, but glass is not clear cut. A quick web search leaves me thinking it depends, not just on whether you measure energy, greenhouse gases, or cost (versus cost of disposal if not recycled), but also all of those vary between countries.

Yes, economics of recycling plastic are very bad, I wonder how high the cost of landfill would need to increase to make it more expensive than recycling.
Even in non-monopoly situations, the world of free, high quality, developer eco-systems is relatively new. Console SDKs have always expensive even discounting that you had to buy/lease specialized hardware. For example, GameCube dev could be done with Metrowerks Code Warrior for $3.5k (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/metrowerks-provides-codewa...). And speaking of Code Warrior, in the classic MacOS days, Metrowerks Code Warrior was probably the IDE to be using. That alone was ~$500 retail in mid-90's dollars. And at that same time, Apple's own developer program was $500 or $3500 (https://web.archive.org/web/19990220171442/http://developer....) and even remained that expensive all the way to ~2010 when they dropped the cost to be more in line with the iPhone program (https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/apple-drops-price-of-mac-de...).

Remember too it wasn't until 2006 that Java was released as FOSS software, (though it looks like they may have stopped charging for SE around 2000 https://www.tech-insider.org/java/research/1999/1207-b.html) but before that, Sun also sold licenses and SDKs.

Additionally, Google has not been very honest recently with regards to their AI tech.
That problem only exists as long as benchmarks don't sample problem space enough, and it can be quickly rectified once identified.
They just need the monopolies and the cartels broken up. A union is only a valid response to market power abuse and market power abuse comes from a company holding too much of the market. Instead of unionizing, we need to move much closer back to the way we dealt with these large corps prior to the Rehnquist supreme court (not all the way back but probably 80% of the way back, they were breaking up regional gas station chains at one point, which is a little too far for me).
> Should the Palestinians have agency and self determination?

It doesnt matter what they "should" have. Israel wont give it to them while they think it would undermine their security, and no one has the ability to force them to.
Ask HN: Trained LLMs on Network Traffic?
Have there been any mentions of an LLM that has been trained on network traffic, or any types of flows of maybe data, streaming connection types/providers/etc...

For example "*Show me all the top netflix traffic for the last week between these ASNs (or whatever level of insight)

Is something like this possible for a public LLM?

Or have a really good understanding of network mappings through training LLMs on really great tracert mastery, etc.

Okay, but if you still live in Silicon Valley be aware that many of the VHF channels are active (RF channels 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12 and 13). 12 is ABC and 13 is NBC. The ATSC 3.0 lighthouse is on 7.
If someone has done more of the quantitative side of econ, they are well positioned to pick up ML real fast. And the average AI/ML paper simply isn't very difficult to understand. I was a comp sci undergrad and some of the econometrics focused folks were much closer to ML work than anyone doing comp sci (this was quite some time ago though).

There is some irony in half-assing something to the fullest extent.
I read this as 20% on top of the 30% that already happened 3 months ago.
Actually I think the real reason is even lamer.

The iPhone is their baby, and the iPad is decidedly not. It’s a good business, it’s a big business, and they sell a lot of them, but in terms of revenue it has never really exceeded the Mac and doing QA for both iPhones and iPads running the same operating system at feature parity year after year was holding their baby back. That’s why when they do new releases, things like widgets on the Home Screen appear on iOS a year ahead of when it does on iPadOS. By renaming it iPadOS, they’ve given themselves cover to hold stuff back a year and roll features out on a tick-tock schedule cuz now the iPad is running a totally different operating system.

That it may benefit them here dealing with the EU’s shenanigans is probably just a nice incidental bonus, but that’s just my own cynical take. Honestly though, gun to my head, I think prioritizing iPhone features and QA probably is the right thing to do. I like my iPad, but it couldn’t replace either my iPhone or my Mac, and it’s a supplement to both at its best.
> The media keeps missing the real lock in Nvidia has: CUDA. It's not the hardware. It's the ability for someone to use it painlessly.

Really? What if someone writes a new back-end to PyTorch, TensorFlow and perhaps a few other popular libraries? Then will CUDA still matter that much?
I hope it all came out well. I can understand the frustration. But many, many more people are killed by distracted drivers on their phones.

At least there’s things you can do to control or ameliorate situations like that. You can learn where the local hospitals are. You can use android auto or CarPlay. You can call 911. You can’t control the guy running a red because he’s on his phone and he’s much much more common. This is a minimally intrusive intervention on devices that already do all sorts of things to “interfere with normal operation” that would save thousands of lives for in the 99.99999% of other cases a minor inconvenience to everyone else. A return to the year 2005.
Yeah I try really hard to not use "bad" dependencies. When I really can't, well... I can't.

But still I like to make it clear that the software industry goes in that direction because of quality issues, and not because the modern ways are superior (on the contrary, quite often) :-).
I wouldn't have realized this issue if a coworker wasn't looking at my screen, seeing the messages they had sent 10 minutes prior just popping up. There was no way I could have known they were late because the timestamps in Teams were the time I received the messages instead of the time the messages were sent. On his end there was also nothing indicating that there was a delivery problem.

At the very least Microsoft could have given us some system-wide notification that there were problems...
Directories still have problems when it comes to user simplicity. For example, try emailing one.

Fundamentally, directories are problematic because they are user-facing. When used as a file format, you risk running into situations where the user has (sometimes inadvertently) deleted some of the files or edited them, partial copies etc. Making it all into a single zip file makes it clear that it really should be treated as a single atomic unit by any casual user, while still allowing power users to hack on it when needed.
> This being a perfect example. The former does not imply the latter. Nor would the latter imply that there wasn't foul play.

It would imply literally nothing of interest and is an absurd claim to lead with. Congress beat the market absolutely doesn’t follow from 1/3 of them beating the market. It would be strange if that number were considerably lower.

> First off, there is a third option: matching the SPY.

realistically only possible if there’s a healthy margin to be qualified as “beating” it. Is that considered here? Idk. I’m guessing not.

> Second, beating the SPY is a proxy metric which is typically used to help identify those that have performed suspiciously well, not those who performed average. It is actually difficult to beat the market, and more so to do it consistently[0]. So I must insist that you use the metric as a guide, not a filter or target.

No, that’s a stupid claim. It’s incredibly easy to beat the market in a single year by chance. Again for unqualified definitions of “beating it”. It is extremely likely that a sizeable proportion of any investing group will beat the market in a given year. You are correct about multiple successive years.

> Third: There are many ways to under-perform compared to the market, including not investing. I mention that specific mechanism as one thing the report shows is that there are far fewer filings by Republicans so this is necessary context to properly evaluate some fact like "Democrats beat their Republican colleagues by a massive margin." (Dems ~= 2x Reps in transactions) We must also consider that democrats have fewer members and that >50% of each party's transactions originate from a single member of that party (Ro Khanna (D) and Michael McCaul (R)). There are also multiple vehicles for wealth generation so while stocks should be of interest, it shouldn't be used as the only evidence of manipulation and/or foul play.

Incorrect. The metric being discussed only included trading members.

> Fourth: consider what information is marginalized by the metrics. Pareto distribution should be expected, and it is even observed. You must therefore be considerate of aggregates as variance is high (difference between mean and median is large).

I don’t care man. If less than a third are doing better than the market then there’s not a lot of evidence to suggest they’re using info to beat the market. Because they’re not beating the market on average. The total return was within a few tenths of a percent of the SPY index.

It’s a dumb claim. Is there insider trading? Maybe. Idk.

But regardless. Do they on average beat the market? That is definitely not supported by the data. Fee free to run a t test.
I always thought Google was actually pretty good at taking over established, or rising markets, depending on the opportunity or threat they see from a competitor. Either by timely acquisition and/or ability to scale faster due to their own infrastructure capabilities.

- Google search (vs previous entrenched search engines in the early '00s)

- Adsense/doubleclick (vs early ad networks at the time)

- Gmail (vs aol, hotmail, etc)

- Android (vs iOS, palm, etc)

- Chrome (vs all other browsers)

Sure, i'm picking the obvious winners, but these are all market leaders now (Android by global share) where earlier incumbents were big, but not Google-big.

Even if Google's use of TPUs are purely self-serving, it will have a noticeable effect on their ability to scale their consumer AI usage at diminishing costs. Their ability to scale AI inference to meet "Google scale" demand, and do it cheaply (at least by industry standards), will make them formidable in the "ai race". This is why altman/microsoft and others are investing heavily in AI chips.

But I don't think their TPU will be only self-serving, rather, they'll scale it's use through GCP for enterprise customers to run AI. Microsoft is already tapping their enterprise customers for this new "product". But those kinds of customers will care more about cost than anything else.

The long-term game here is a cost game, and Google is very, very good at that and has a headstart on the chip side.
In my experience, this is mostly because those things we "should" be getting angry over are such massive problems that most people can't see how they might have an effect, so they focus on "smaller" problems that they might be able to actually solve.
Imagine making excuses for breaking the nuclear taboo. That is the level this discourse is at.
It's laughable, but if China solved this problem they'd be voted the world's cop over the USA overnight

Even within the Germanic words there are multiple origins. For example "shirt" and "skirt", "shatter" and "scatter", one from Anglo-Saxon and the other from Norse.
> The problem is: it doesn't matter.

Clearly it does matter to significant portions of the people who either directly experienced it or are the children of those who did. I would argue it was a major driving factor for violent opposition to the Israeli state, now since replaced by Israel's current actions (current as in last 30 years) as the impetus.

> No matter what Israel did in Palestine, Arab Jewish people had no culpability.

I'm glad this discussion has forced me to do some research. I actually wonder how many of the early immigrant waves were even "expelled" in the first place, rather than moving of their own volition. Here's the example from Yemen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Magic_Carpet_(Yemen)...

And in Iraq's case:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Ezra_and_Nehemiah
"Like most Arab League states, Iraq initially forbade the emigration of its Jews after the 1948 war on the grounds that allowing them to go to Israel would strengthen that state; however, by 1949 the Iraqi Zionist underground was smuggling Jews out of the country to Iran at about a rate of 1,000 a month, from where they were flown to Israel.[23] At the time, the British believed that the Zionist underground was agitating in Iraq in order to assist US fund-raising and to "offset the bad impression caused by the Jewish attitudes to Arab refugees".
Apologies. I misattributed the vengeance comment to you.

When did I dispute the 75% figure? I said you'll find bloodlust in the general Israeli population too.

Wanting to slaughter everyone in Gaza isn't the standard to apply. It has shown it doesn't care if it does if that means killing the small fraction of that population responsible for October 7. It's shockingly callous, disproportionate and can never justify heavy bombing a populated urban area.
It’s a shame that there aren’t more university programs that encourage contributions to open source. There’s a lot of senior capstone projects that just go to benefit some random company. If we’re going to pay these students with a grade instead of cash, it would be nice if it benefitted the open source community instead. Plus, it works out well for the students, because their work is entirely public for prospective employers to review.
On my phone, I didn’t notice it at all until I read it. I just thought it is a normal webpage describing the project.
Because I have to live with "malpractice" doesn't mean I should not say it is, IMHO.

I can accept that someone needs to make a hack, but I really want them to realize (and acknowledge) that it is a hack.
All major conflicts and wars are fundamentally economic and have been so throughout history
There is music like this that is an experience. Listening to them in the 90s, along with Aphex Twin, Amon Tobin, FSOL, were the sounds of hacker spaces. Soundscapes doesn't cover it, they're compositions.

What's so strange is that when I listen to this music now, I get nostalgia, but it's not for anything that was shared. It was a frame of mind in a moment, and not a memory of people. This music was a weirdly private experience.
First of all, the implementation will likely be the same from a technical perspective and differ mainly in that the C code will have more boiler plate. Secondly, did you actually read the source code of this project? I feel like reading a PHP one would be more enjoyable purely because it would be more terse.
I have an OM-100 which I brought a few years back after being obsessed with Omnichords for years. I listen to a lot of dream pop and dreampop artists use them quite a bit.

For me there's no instrument which sounds more nostalgic than the Omnichord – and imo the OM-100 is the most beautiful sounding of all models.

If you have young kids who have an interest in music they're great instruments to introduce them to playing and writing music. They've been designed to be as easy to play as possible to the point where you'd struggle to play it badly. They are expensive, but if those worried about price it's worth keeping in mind that they will hold their value if you look after them.

This channel has some of my favourite Omnichord covers for anyone interested in how lovely these things sound, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2HMdP-bXaA
There are several similar formats allowing to do the exact same thing with other chips: I'm most familiar with mediatek, but essentially it's always a read-only bootloader, in case the normal boot can't start.

I can't imagine google forgetting to add an EDL-like reflash mode for their SoC.

I can however imagine them not providing the files needed for the reflash, since that's been true since they used Qualcomm.
Why a ZIP or ePub file? There is already established MHTML format supported by most browsers.
Yup, you just told me how to solve it, got a good idea now - thank you!! :)
Here's my heretical views. What's yours?

- the world is full of too many coders writing too much code

- most business logic should be in the database

- I blame the Apple II for the ORM quagmire

- I also blame it for the gender disparity in tech

- tech is littered with the tombstones of ideas that were ahead of their time at their time and still are today

- XML is one of them

- so is XSLT

Long haul might not be the majority of flights by number, but they account for ~40% of the emissions from commercial aviation (well more accurately, wide-bodies do.) Regional flights that are prime targets to go fully electric only account for around 6% of emissions.

But you're right that starting somewhere is better than not doing that.
I find it sort of ... misguided? ... when people try to fit open source into some business model or payment/profit mindset.

The people who wrote this were not doing it for compensation. Trying to fit compensation into the picture doesn't always make sense.

This is like saying children consume all the time and energy of their parents and then leave them behind to move on to prosperous and successful lives without proper compensation.

I also sort of wonder what happens if payment systems are set up for open source software. Are the original authors even involved and properly respected?
It's remarks by the plaintiff's attorney meant to elicit emotion. It includes zero context. Who died - were they militants with guns? Were they civilian casualties of war? No one knows. Just a bizarre connection between Bethlehem and Gaza. Bethlehem is not in Gaza.

Yes, this is actually something I've been thinking about quite a bit, I actually built out the playlist feature just this morning because it's easier to "show" how Plato works, but I basically just wrote some scripts to get some good enough videos for the demo

If you have any good channel suggestions I'd love to add them :))

One of the things I have on the backburner for now is building a BERT classifier to decide whether the video is Educational, Edu-tainment, or not educational at all and have a more customizable video suggestion than YouTube has (I actually have 2 accounts on YouTube, just so I can watch some random video on 1 without it polluting my education/learning heavy one)

One thing though, is I actually think both have their merit, while I agree the actual educational content is pretty different, the educational entertainment is a nice alternative to TikTok or IG reels when you just want to mindlessly scroll, I think there still often some useful content there, especially if you don't have any background in the area
Of course not. My point was that people who say "static linking is better" because the only thing they know (which is copying the code into their project) results in something that looks like static linking are in the wrong.
I don't get this. Why not pay an employee to take a few hours, ask a person from the necessary team to take a look, then call or write the complainant?

That -has- to be cheaper than getting all these lawyers involved over what was probably, as the article states, a glitch of some sort.

Recycling is much more meaningful if it's done by the designers of the recycled thing and not by some third party.

I'd like to see a world where if you're not sure, it should go in a pile that gets shipped back to the manufacturer... On their dime if labeling standards weren't met, on your dime if they were.

This would give manufacturers a reason to build things in a way where they want the discarded thing back (like how they do with toner cartridges).
