Not picking a side or trying to punish anyone, I'm just highlighting that the difference in the number of victims is quite significant. It would be quite a different situation if Israel had killed only sightly more Palestinian civilians than Hamas' did in their attack. Actually, I suspect that this ICJ order would not have occurred, and that there wouldn't be such widespread accusations of genocide.
> That's just the way it is, skilled people are not attracted by volunteering (unless it's FOSS, for some reason).

In my experience, volunteering organisations often struggle to deploy people with specialist skills, especially when they're only available for a few hours a week.

I used to volunteer at my local hospital. Maybe I can design advanced circuit boards, program the most complex algorithms straight from academic papers, squat almost twice my bodyweight, and operate a CNC machine like a champ. Well, the hospital didn't need any of that - or if they did, nobody had told the volunteer office about it.

The volunteer office did however know they need someone to stuff letters into envelopes, and a greeter to help disoriented visitors find their way around. So that's what I did.

I can't really blame them - giving some out-of-hours volunteer extensive computer access would have been a very trusting decision. And the volunteering they offered would probably be great for a retired person who started volunteering to expand their social life.
> they were interacting regularly with EU regulators and knew that change was on the wind, even if they didn't know the details before 2019.

One wonders, then, why Apple didn't do more to open up the iPhone and protect it from regulation before the EU had to force something worse down Apple's throat. (The tone of Apple's PR yesterday was startlingly bitter and combative.) Moreover, it's not clear that the iPadOS ploy is even going to work in the end: "the Commission has opened a market investigation to further assess whether Apple's iPadOS should be designated as gatekeeper, despite not meeting the thresholds." https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_...

In fact, Apple has made a series of anticompetitive moves with the App Store in recent years, enraging third-party developers and practically daring regulators to bring down the hammer.

Besides, iPad is already kind of a neglected software platform. Some developers still don't bother to specifically support it with their apps. Lack of iPad support isn't going to stop anyone from going outside the App Store if they can; indeed, this move may backfire on Apple by causing even fewer apps to support iPad.
that makes it even worse for saying 2 times "here's your chart" and the third one appologizing for not having the capability, when in fact is has it?

It can ask for permissions like push notifications, I can't install ad-blockers on it, and they otherwise get more control over it. They even seem to intentionally treat web users a little better, cause I just got a full-sized homepage ad in the app for TikTok of all things, with a download button. The site doesn't have that, and I made sure to disable my blocker. Maybe they consider app users more captive of an audience, or they simply bring changes to it first that are generally about further monetization.

Not a huge deal though. In the past, pre-iOS-10 Safari was immune to the "no background playback" rule the app had, and before that, the site had no preroll ads while the app did, so it was a clearer difference.

As sibling points out, it's about what the EU thinks.

"iPadOS" runs iOS apps, and iOS apps can be full fledged "iPadOS" apps with a single binary. The distinction is a business distinction, not a technical one.

There are strange tiny differences in what APIs are offered, but the same is true of two Windows computers, for example, for one that has a DirectX capable graphics card and one that does not.
And the diplomacy also consisted of the fact that in revenge for their defeat the Japanese didn't launch a long campaign of violent resistance. The cycle of violence continues as long as people seek revenge and at some point somebody has to be the kinder soul and concede or compromise on the horrors of the past. It's an action that requires participation from both sides but will always place stronger demands on one of them.

This is why I have hope in the middle east - Hamas are fueled by revenge and (IMO) the current Israeli government is also driven by revenge... but the majority of people on both sides have had enough. On the Palestinian side the populace has been denied an election for decades and on the Israeli side there is strong opposition to Netanyahu but terror remains a strong motivator.

This is a straw man. Condemning IDFs slaughtering of children isn't the same as supporting Hamas. I condemn both.
The sentence is meaningful both ways. The argument is if [X] and [not X] are both true, X doesn't rule out any possible universes. And if it doesn't rule out any possible universes, it doesn't tell us anything about what they have done - because universes where they didn't do anything are still valid.

That is a handy test of whether a sentence is marketing fluff or whether it contains data.

> If I have a passing understanding of computers, I know everything I need to decide if this is interesting to me or not. It is for machine learning developers. It helps them deploy their models to a specific AI processor.

I can already deploy models to my processor though, and it is an AMD processor that doesn't support Ryzen AI. I've used it to develop AI models too, since I have an AMD GPU and can't use that to develop AI models because it crashes the driver when I do. So while you can deploy models to a Ryzen AI processor, you can also deploy models to non-Ryzen AI processors. So, logically and practically, they haven't told us anything.

The issue is with the limited understanding you've taken on for your argument, you didn't realise that all computers can already do what they promised Ryzen AI processors can do.

Compare that to eightysixfour who articulates what the thing actually does - lots of TOPS, and a 150% improvement in TOPS on the previous generation. His sentence contains information and I doubt my CPU can match that TOPS performance. And I wasn't developing an INT8 model which is probably also relevant.

Furthermore, it is that in 10 years or so models will be much bigger and more power hungry, possibly with different architectures. So there will be models that we won't be able to deploy on many CPUs even if they are powered by Ryzen AI. So not only is the documentation on Ryzen AI not telling me what they can do, even what the documentation promises can't be logically done. Which isn't a problem because that is more of a silly "gotcha!" style observation, but it really highlights how little useful information is in the docs intro material and marketing copy when it comes to identifying what it is this thing does.
If you presume that the EU has actually signed off on this and all the other DMA changes Apple announced, then the DMA at least as it affects Apple is useless.

hmm the creator says (from his podcast with Lex Friedman when I listened to him) that they are open sourcing it, but that it is a project borne out of their private effort at their company and that it is still being used privately - so the aim is open sourcing it while taking community input and updating their private code to reflect the evolving design so that when they release it their internal lang and the open sourced lang will not diverge.

of course not ideal, but better than "open sourcing" it and refusing every request because it does not work for their codebase. worse than having it open source from the get go, of course.

assuming that day comes, does it have a competitor in the works? a python superset, compatible with python libs, but enables you to go bare metal to the point that it enables you to directly program GPUs and TPUs without CUDA or anything?

"never" means you believe it will never be open sourced, or a competitor will surpass it by the time it is open sourced. or that you believe the premise of the lang is flawed and we don't need such a thing. Which one is it?

Here is their github btw: https://github.com/modularml/mojo

From what I see, they have a pretty active community and there is demand for such a system.

The github says something similar:

>This repo is the beginning of our Mojo open source effort. We've started with Mojo code examples and documentation, and we'll add the Mojo standard library as soon as we get the necessary infrastructure in place. The challenge is that we use Mojo pervasively inside Modular and we need to make sure that community contributions can proceed smoothly with good build and testing tools that will allow this repo to become the source of truth (right now it is not). We'll progressively add the necessary components, such as continuous integration, build tools, and more source code over time.

> How does something occurring in Palestine justify this?

The real question is, would that have happened if it were not for:

-demonstrated brutality against the Palestinian population

-explicit creation of the Israeli state tied to a particular ethno-religious identity

If there had been no violence, and if Israel had just been a newly-independent country with the creation led by but not defined by the culture of the Jewish immigrants, would there have been a purge across the region? Personally I think not.

I'm trying to highlight that there is significantly more nuance to the creation of Israel beyond "we just showed up one day and everyone was mean to us for no reason" which, IMO, has surprisingly crept into numerous comments even on HN where you would expect such an educated demographic to know better...
There’s one law of physics difference here: (with a few exceptions) helium, because it’s lighter than air, will never replenish on our planet. There is currently most of what there ever will be.

I use egg cartons, newspaper/packing paper, and paraffin wax to make homemade starter cubes. It's cheap as dirt since the only thing you have to buy is the wax which is very inexpensive, and extremely effective.

You basically just wad up the paper into the egg carton cups and pour enough wax to hold it together (althernatively you can dip the wadded up paper in the wax then stick it in the cups before it solidifies). Cut a carton cup out of the carton, place it under the chimney, light it, and let it g.
Google play store also uses human review.

The question is whether there’s more malware on stores like f-droid, and the answer is yes, there is of course significantly more malware.

This even pollutes the official Play Store to some extent because of course google can’t put the foot down too hard when Facebook et al can simply “start their own app stores” to bypass review if they really want to. Malware rates are much higher on android in general.

It's exactly what you're talking about. Pick a random cable and show it doesn't meet all potential possibilities of USB-C, that seems to be your entire point. That not all cables can do everything as if it's some critical failure of USB-C. I'm never just ending up with some random cable that I didn't already know the specs on, so it's a non-issue.

Like, cool, you found a USB-C cable I can't use with my monitor. So I won't buy that one, I'll buy a different one. They're clearly spec'd on nice retailers, so buying the right one isn't an issue, once again unless you're with crappy stores.

I would say the difference here is that no one is going to read it and see the code. As much as people fantasise about reading code, few actually do it and those that do are broadly wasting their time.

Your welding example is flawed because because the welder is showing things as examples. He compresses the range of things the tool can do into a useful format and presents that to people, rather than just welding some metal together without commentary. If this project and the techniques used to create it were documented, it might be comparable. A discussion of the solution to a given technical problem can be interesting and would be the equivalent to what the welder when he discusses the capability of his tools.
But you don’t see things like “Straßenbahnhaltestelle” in English where you have four words mashed together.

Tramstop on the other hand is (at least places where people say tram). So while we mash it’s noticeably more limited.

> [they] were living in the area at the time of the creation of the state of israel.

It really makes Israel sound colonialist. As does saying "We're in a war to claim territory with the Palestinians."
The primary problem was always that there are too many parties who have an interest in the existence of Hamas.

Put differently, there are too many parties with an interest in using the Palestinians as pawns. Leaving aside the views of any specific Palestinian. As no serious person can dispute the ease of radicalizing destitute people without educations and with PTSD.

As long as this is the case, the Palestinians, on the whole, will present as radicalized.

The continued goal can't be to use them as pawns. The goal has to be to peacefully save every last remaning Palestinian life, at all costs. In spite of the interests of any of the people who use them.

Accomplishing that goal, at all peaceful costs, will be distasteful to both the people who want to sacrifice the Palestinians for Islamic land interests as well as to the people who see them as, at minimum, legitimate collateral damage.

But that is what will be required to take Palestinian civilians out of the middle of this endless nightmare.
Funnily enough, my brain still associates IEEE with ethernet, or networking in general.
