Very interesting question (albeit a bit irrelevant). But the short answer is no, or at least not as a single group within the context of international law. There is no internationally recognized state which represents all Jewish people, therefor they don’t have the right of self determination. The state of Israel does, but it only represents Israeli citizens and to a lesser extends residents within Israel (not including its occupied territories), and certainly not all Jewish people in the world. But Israeli citizens do have the right of self determination as a group, which they have been exorcising (quite brutally for that matter) since 1948.

A note here, that the question of self determination is again the words of the UN General Assembly, I have my own thoughts on it, which I try not to steer into, as this is already irrelevant to the question of decolonization efforts exemplifying the United Nations.

Like Israel, the Palestinian people also have an internationally recognized right to self determination, which is recognized by 139 of the 193 UN member states (including my home country of Iceland; Israel only has 27 more countries which recognize their statehood). They don’t get to exorcise this right as often as they would like to as many aspects of their statehood is controlled by Israel (which we were frequently reminded of in the ICJ testimonies this week; and talked about above).

One could—confusingly—argue that Catholics do have the right to self determination, as they do have an internationally recognized state representing them, but in practice (and de jure) it is merely the very senior rulers of the religion that live and work in the Vatican, which have that right.

But not every nation gets the same right of self determination. American Indians, famously have a very limited right of self determination, the Roma people in Europe get hardly any. Inuit in Greenland have much more than Inuit in Nunavut. The Tatars in Crimea don’t get it, but the Russian speakers in the same territory only get it via Russia while internationally it is recognized they should get it via Ukraine. The self determination of the Taiwanese people is even more complicated.

My personal feelings about the right of self determination is that it should not belong to nations, but rather by classes belonging to an international solidarity of workers. However we do live in this UN based world as determined by the winners of World War 2, and they say the right to self determination belongs to internationally recognized nation states. Both Israel and Palestine are one, so legally speaking, they should both have their own separate right to self determination. But in reality Israel denies Palestine of that right.
OK, I'll add Github login next week. Thanks.
What’s the read and write speed?
I was just watching an early-1970s commercial from Alcoa that captures some of that same gung-ho optimism...

I think you massively understate this advantage. Those with existing resources have advantages in nearly every endeavor possible.

This can only be mitigated, not prevented, and not likely in the first example of a currency outside nation state control, which was unthinkable previously. It’s a possible option for evading asset seizure or hyperinflation from a despotic government to not insignificant numbers of people already. One step at a time.

Ethereum 2.0’s proof of stake eliminates the ability of the biggest actors to stockpile and control supply of hardware, while also providing stronger security and massively reducing energy use from mining.

On its face, directly staking coins over accurate security validations makes the problem even more obvious, but the result is that the rich accelerate their ownership slower.

You may be well served by speaking with some of the very well intentioned people working on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero. From my experiences the majority of them do believe they are bettering the world, as do most who work in open source anywhere, and they continue to strive much more for that reason than any indirect personal enrichment.
That's basically my understanding of how we got into that mess. There are still significant tax subsidies for employer provided health insurance and most people don't realize that the COBRA price is the actual cost of their "cheap" or "free" employer provided insurance for the same reason they think their "income tax refund" is actually "free money" from the IRS rather than their money that the government held onto without interest.

The average person is not very smart and half of the population isn't even that smart so of course they fall for these intelligence insulting tricks invented by politicians.
Hold a vote among participants to cancel daily stand-ups. Agile is supposed to be about doing what works for the team and my guess is the stand-ups aren't working for a majority! ;)
Which is why they should be treated as a waste of time unless specific tests can be justified.

SSB is basically RSS, but with nice guarantees to prevent the RSS server from lying to you!

Take an RSS feed and do the following:

* Hash each entry in your RSS feed including the hash from the previous entry in the feed

* Sign that hash with your private key

You now have the original SSB data structure!

It has overhead. It adds 64bytes for the signature and 32bytes for the hash.

But that overhead is pretty small for most RSS feeds I've seen.
I'm in the US but maybe they didn't release it to me yet.
I had a Samoyed when I was a child that knew Sunday. We had a specific routine for him while we went to church. He’d stay in the backyard in his large kennel while we were gone. After not too long we’d wake up Sunday morning and he’d go straight to his kennel. :)

In our case it was probably him sensing other things that only happened on Sundays.
Do jewish people have right of self determination?

In the sense that all peoples have the right of self-determination - of course, unquestionably.

As to whether that applies to the self-determination in the sense of a viable community within the boundaries historic Palestine? You know the answer already, of course. As per the Balfour declaration, as long as it is:

clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine
Nice, this is really cool to see! There were other threads that expressed interest in something like this.
I’ve got a private, paid Slack team ($10 a month?) and you can invite people from other paid Slack teams to chat in rooms on it. Nice thing about this is it’s “by design”, so less likely to get shut down, and also unlikely to fall foul of computer misuse laws.

This made me think of that midwit meme with “delete the tests, green check mark in CI” on either side of the graph and “100% coverage” in the centre. Not totally valid, but… A bit of truth, haha.

Maybe the right side should be something about fuzzing and using static types. Use systemic and automated checks. I’m a little ashamed that I thought in memes so readily.
Wow, this is the first Hacker News post I've seen where someone actually understands myopia, emmetropization, and peripheral defocus. Every other post on myopia is filled with people guessing their own random nonsense about Bates, wearing underpowered lenses, and outdoor light. Completely unifnored. I also had no idea about the relative blur of different color wavelengths. I wonder if that's related to the possible "toxic" effect of blue LED light on the macula.

I've installed your Chrome extension and I'm eager to learn more. It's too late for my vision, but it's still getting worse for me in middle age, so I'm very interested in the state of the art based in real science.
3M has misled and twisted the truth regarding PFAS before. I trust their word as much as I trust BP's when they come up with excuses for oil spills.

How do you balance this mindset with the cold hard reality that one needs to make money?

I’m currently unemployed and I am lucky to have a generous runway, but that runway will run out eventually.

The idea that nothing matters outside of family, friends, etc is tempting but I have made sacrifices in relationships with others and myself to be a more employable candidate.

For example I’m taking LLM classes on Sunday mornings which precludes me from interacting with loved ones. I can try to schedule things around that-but sometimes that isn’t possible.

I’m also working on other things, my health, my fitness, my spiritually.

Finding balance has been hard. I’m in a good spot now, but I do find myself wondering if my ratios of time invested are correct given the fact that I also agree that loved ones are all that matter in life.

The inevitable rise of GPUs and more specialized hardware was being discussed by Satoshi and others on bitcointalk around early 2010. Just my memory as a source, or you can see some discussion of emails between Laszlo Hanecz who bought the 19K BTC pizza and was GPU mining and Satoshi.
Your pedantism perfectly illustrates my point
“Improved land”? This terminology is loaded and lopsided.

Note that while having two eyes helps build a more accurate 3D image, people with one eye still see in 3D. Eye movement is at least as important a part of 3D vision as stereoscopy.

The original Scuttlebot protocol docs are sadly no longer accessible via a website, but we still have archive.org!

https://web.archive.org/web/20230416142631/https://scuttlebo...

Scuttlebot users encrypted messages onto their append-only log towards recipients using their ed25519 private signing key converted to an ed25519curve encryption key.

This made it possible to send private messages that you could open if you had the private signing key that the messages were directed towards.

Back in the day you could actually send messages using "Private Box" to up to 7 recipients! by appending them to your feed of course.

Sounds like you're doing the right thing: trying to find a moderate position
these "invented problems" that software engineers (such as myself) find in every project are basically why we can't have nice things. why did software in the 90s run faster than the same functionality in the 2020's? it's this right here.

Maybe it offers not just a backup?

BTW Syncthing is not exactly a backup solution; it's a sync solution, with an ability to have staggered versions of changed files.

Something like Restic or Kopia is a proper backup solution, with encrypted versioned data good for off-premises storage, and an ability to mount a point-in-time backup.
Nice job. Spreadsheets are a natural way to explain an LLM. I suspect that you can show training well too by calculating the derivatives for each parameter under each training example and showing it all explicitly mapped to the relevant parameter etc etc
Class templates get applied at runtime based on the heap size/ legacy properties of the initializing task.

If we’re using software metaphors for things that aren’t software, I can pull that card too.
The US has horrifying amounts of corruption in utility regulatory bodies. Often times these are elected positions, but get little attention, and so the utilities can essentially buy themselves seats. One particularly bad example is in Arizona:

https://www.degreespod.com/episodes/episode-09

There is also a lot of malfeasance at the legislative level. In Ohio, for just a few million dollars, utilities bought some very profitable legislation:

https://www.cincinnati.com/in-depth/news/politics/2021/06/03...

These are some of the extreme examples, but in general these regulatory bodies are poorly supervised and run by cronies of the utilities. And in California, even if the regulators are not corrupt, they are so incompetent that they may as well be bought off. PG&E has some of the highest costs for transmission and distribution of electricity in the country, yet transmission still causes fires and deaths. And it wasn't that long ago that they killed families in their homes with a gas line explosion.
There’s several things which break down if you eliminate layer boundaries.

Can you still have a layer that is bigger than the image boundary, or would pixels get cropped when they move outside?

What happens if you apply a noise filter? Does it generate an infinitely large layer with noise? Or only generates noise on the visible portions? Or some other arbitrary rect in between?

And how would you handle the case of a small layer with a weird blend mode like multiply/subtract? With no boundaries it now must apply to the entire image below.

I’m sure there are solutions to these individually but it’s clearly a very complex problem to solve all these kinds of cases in an intuitive way.
Air pollution could be significant cause of dementia, even those not predisposed
Yeah, it's their job. What's your point? Are they actually doing it? Signs point to no.

But maybe the real problem is that most of today's shareholders will be gone by then, too. They benefit from juicing the stock and selling high, leaving the cost for some other sucker down the road. They have no incentive to find uncomfortable truths either. I think short-term ownership is one of the roots of a lot of today's economic ills.

You do the work for the money, but you don't invest yourself in the work: you care about the people who love you back at home. In the end, the work (caveat edge cases) will be meaningless. You're converting time into fiat you need to pay for life. You can always make more money, time is non renewable.

What mechanism causes TMP activation / ECM breakdown to cause eye reshaping required to reverse axial elongation? There are no known mechanisms of this, so any claim of reversing or "ending" myopia don't have any basis.

How do minor correction improvements anecdotally reported track choroidal thickness? Oh, they don't?
I'm not downvoting you, because I assume uour comment was in good faith.

The phrase "death panels" though is unfortunate. Nobody has death panels, nobody wants death panels, no health system anywhere private or public has death panels. It's just a scary phrase used in a political context.

Ultimately all health systems make choices at every level of care. Triage is a thing. Organ recipient lists are a thing. Hospital occupancy, and theatre usage are things.

In a perfect world we'd all get perfect medical care the instant we needed it. There'd be scores of doctors sitting around doing nothing just waiting for my call. There'd be an endless supply of organs, replacement parts, hospital beds, theatres and surgeons.

We don't live in that world. Hence our systems have imperfections. Not everyone gets an optimal outcome. There are no "death panels". There doesn't need to be. Limitations and resource constraints force decisions at all levels every day.

Now personally I think a well managed public health system us the most equitable. Failing that private insurance has a role to play in combination either public health. Employer paid health insurance has grouping advantages, but also means you lose your income and health at the same time.

Steps for affordable personal health insurance are good. There's some way to go yet, but its a step in the right direction. Having at least some part of the health system be available to the uninsured (ie non-profit) would also be beneficial.

So yeah, the US system, as it is, is great for those who can pay, terrible for everyone else. It favours the few with good jobs, and secure tenure. If you're in that group, well done.

Other countries with national health have their own resource constraints. Not all individual outcomes are optional. And being rich doesn't necessarily jump you to the front of the queue. There are good outcomes, and bad outcomes, but they don't align to wealth or status (in theory.)

In the US its hard to change the status quo because the country is governed by the rich, paid for by the richer. The system currently favors the rich. QED.

I feel like I covered that pretty well with the links I added? Argentina definitely stumbled in the early twentieth century, but were still in a decent position due to large immigration from Europe and early century gains to be a powerhouse economically. Then Peron took over, and over the next few decades he, and the puppets he put in power did many awful things, you really have to read about it if you haven't. He saw the middle class as politically dangerous and tried to surpress them; for example he fired thousands of university professors from every major university in the country. It was in the years following the Argentinian economy actually began to tank.

After Peron was finally expelled, there was an attempt to stop the hemorrhaging he caused, but sadly Peron was able to come back after a coup. Finally he died in the early the 70s and his wife took over, continue his legacy (for example she signed an order to kill leftists).

So it should be obvious at this point that Peron fucked everything up royally, and took a good economy and wrecked it. Then the US gets involved.

Operation Condor in part helped execute the overthrow of the wife, which would have been a good thing; except they replaced her with someone worse. After the coup, the courts were shut down, Congress disbanded, political parties barred. This was when the systematic state sponsored terrorism began in earnest, and the final nail in Argentina economically.

So at this point you either are convinced, or not; but I'm tired of doing your research for you. If you disagree, please include the relevant context to back it up, at least.
If you're upgrading it to support wifi, why not some faster speeds too?
With all the major social media sites committing suicide via enshittification, it seems like forums might be primed to go back to being mostly small and local again (discord etc).

Reddit though, I’m really going to miss since they’ve avoided pissing in the pool they swim in longer than most of the others. And, because the only google results that are useful anymore are the ones where you append “Reddit” to the end of your search.

I think, on some level, the people who own and run these sites don’t actually understand where the value in them comes from. Namely, the quality of the interactions between users. By replacing those interactions with paid advertisements or by making moderation more difficult they are directly attacking the very thing that makes the site useful. And they don’t understand that. More likely in this case, they don’t care. The game they are playing is to try to turn human interaction into money, and you can’t do that by making the interaction better. The point of advertising, after all, is not to reveal truth but distort it in order to manipulate the user.

What we need is a Reddit type of site that’s run more on the Wikipedia model and less on the Facebook model.

The original version of google seemed like magic because it provided such easy results- but you have to remember that google didn’t generate those results. The links between topics came in the form of hyperlinks between documents that were set up one at a time by human beings, and google merely mined those links to fuel its engine. Later on, people stopped creating hyperlinks, and so google’s search mostly stopped working. So it’s no wonder that Reddit’s hand curated forums are now a better source of information.
you are confusing state vs people. from what i see both un charter International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) refer to right to self determination belonging to people.

so, do jewish people have right for self determination ?

also, do you realize, that nowhere un chater or international laws written that right to self determination implies that state should be given to people ?
It is more than a petabit, though. A petabit is a hundred and twenty five terabytes.
If it doesn't really have a fixed point you get a function that never terminates. In denotational semantics you define a special value, "bottom" that means "undefined", and the fixed point is bottom.

And it's not all functions, just computable ones. But if there's algorithm to compute non-trivial zeroes of the zeta function, it would just never terminate if there aren't any.
