Both sides have resorted to terrorism. In fact that seems to be the modus operandi for both sides. What Israel does every day is also terrorism. The random bombings on civilians, the targeted bombings on key entities (doctors, journalists, authors, peace activists, ....), the detention without judicial recourse of Palestinians, the torture and rape, beating and murder, that happens during those detentions. The stealing of homes in the west bank, the evictions, the harassment of non-Jews (and even some non-Zionist Jewish sects) in Jerusalem and the west bank. The illegal settlement and the constant bullying and taunting of the armed settlers with their rifles and their IDF body guards. The destruction of all Palestinian means of production, whether it be shops or olive orchards. That is all terrorism and that has been happening for decades.

But that the end of the day, Israel IS the oppressor and the Palestinians are their victims. That is a very important distinction.
ICJ was not asked to convict Israel of committing genocide. That was not in the initial ask.

The ask was to force Israel to stop its military operation.

The ICJ's provisional verdict was _actually pretty bad_ for Israel:

"The aforementioned facts and circumstances are sufficient to conclude that at least some rights of the Palestinians to be protected from acts of genocide and related prohibited acts in Article 3 of the Genocide Convention, and the rights of South Africa to seek protection of these rights."

Their house is in part in the EU so they have to play by the rules of the EU there, or remove that part of the house.
Google is already a mass surveillance company...

The moral and ethical thing to do would be to not work for that company.
Not most, historically 15% of supply has been bought up by investors. Most recent figures I’ve seen from 2022 it was 19%. That might be still too high but certainly not the majority.
Last year TSA intercepted almost seven thousand firearms at security checkpoints, 93% of which were loaded. So take all those crazy people, then add firearms into their vicinity, or a firearm into the hands of a well-meaning but panicking co-passenger now trying to "secure" a crowd of 300 people 30,000 feet in the air.
Luckily, this changes.
It used to be, at work one would not talk about politics or religion. And, to some degree, salaries... but that was thrown out the window and companies encouraged activism, bring your pets to work, bring your freakishness to work, let it all hang out. You didn't just keep it to yourself and best friends anymore --the company was "your family and friend".

The chickens are coming home to roost and they don't like it so much anymore.
I'm not specifically saying layoffs are good or bad, I was giving an example of how something being common (layoffs) doesn't automatically make it good (it's of course not good for the fired people).
They're not, we've automated tons of menial jobs. Nobody digs ditches or chops down trees by hand anymore.

The menial jobs we're left with are just the ones that were hard to automate.
Fighting the ER or the employee? Sounds like it could have been handled at a PCP or urgent care or with a bandage at home? Staffing a full trauma center is expensive, it should cost a lot to use it.
Module definitions in Rust have simple rules that resolve `mod foo;` into foo.rs or foo/mod.rs, which lives in the filesystem layout just as it does in C, you just don't have to use quotes and it has to form a tree from a root module at lib.rs. If you want to be even more explicit about it there's an attribute you can put on a `mod` item to override the normal path resolution rules.
That's not a bad idea!

I didn't mind manually installing Docker, configuring fstab, etc., since it was such little work.
Ah, I see what you did there!

Given that the EU is now making laws that are purposely designed to target them specifically, good luck with that.
I don't actually think there's any overhead necessarily involved, at least if you intend to fine-tune your model (which most LLMs do anyways). Getting a model to reject offensive input is probably just as easy as defining your failure-cases and finetuning it to say nothing.
There's a lot of jurisdictional overlap when it comes to housing, but Canada certainly does have a federal Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities, the office of which is currently occupied by Sean Fraser (who was formerly the immigration minister). But even if housing were entirely out of the federal government's hands, that wouldn't be an obstacle to them mathematically linking immigration targets to measured housing builds; they can link it to any variable they want to, even the weather on Mars.
But how he did it is the important part.

I mean Aaron Bushnell could have written angry letters to his representatives, but he didn't. He lit himself on fire outside of the Israel embassy after declaring he would not take part in genocide and screamed "free Palestine" with his dying breath. And because of that, today I am writing about what he had to say.

If you think the correct response to genocide is politically discussing it with management then I don't think you really understand the gravity of the situation.
Being POSIX doesn't mean it's included by default; for example, you can start with the default installation of debian, install a compiler, and still not have make installed
The post speaks of a bottleneck. When a post goes viral and a flood of applications comes in, the number of Tylers remains at one. The queue just gets unmanageably long. It's definitely not ideal, but your acquaintance shouldn't take it personally.
Was mainly agreeing to your final point, no comment on the first :)
lol okay I'll admit upon reading it again that that was a more verbose way to make that point than it needed to be

How about "prioritizing robustness and other kinds of long-termism need to be at least somewhat protected by the system of incentives they operate in to succeed"? I invoked fractal self-similarity there because I think you best protect long-termism by prioritizing long-termism in decision-making at scopes further out
airbnb is great if you have like 10 or 20 travelling pals. You can rent a flat for everyone instead of a room for each one or pair of them
It's not their house. Someone bought an iPhone (not leased, bought, they own it now). Someone else made an app that that person wants to install on their iPhone (solely thanks to app developer's own marketing efforts). But Apple thinks it's appropriate to have their finger in the pie too.
Apple stands to lose a lot more due to the DMA and parties like Spotify and Epic are doing everything they can to make Apple look bad in the public eye.
It is frustrating and disappointing that neo-luddism is making a comeback.

I had hoped people had gotten the message by now that automation improves our lives in uncountable ways.
My argument is that it's not automatically right either to fire people, just because it is a common practice.

Maybe I should've used another example like lobbying or politicians' insider trading as a practice that's common but not necessarily right.
I was tangentially involved with an orthogonally persistent OS, and we indeed had had to reinvent a distinct journalling channel and special optionally-volatile storage, for DBMS-style applications.
I, for one, welcome our Rust overlords
There is no way such a decision was not approved by the upper echelon of management. That has both legal ramifications and monetary for a huge client.
George Lukacs [0] and Erich Fromm [1] talk about (self-) reification -
in a Kantian kind of way - as turning yourself into a means instead of
an end. Self-exploitation. It's only through that eye you can fall so
low as to see yourself as inferior to a machine you built yourself.

It's not about Epic. It's about Apple wantonly violating EU laws. The target simply happened to be Epic.

That being said: it's probably a good thing it was Epic that Apple went after; Apple would probably have gotten away with going after a smaller company.

Doesn't being complicit in a plausible-Genocide bring about reputational, and by extension financial, damage to the business?

Therefore by your standards the GCP execs relating to engagements to the Israeli Einsatzgruppen Force and their co-conspirators (including the U.S military) should be fired.
But in German you can just say "lau", right? Same as in Scandinavian languages where you have "ljum"/"lunken", or the French "tiede" - like "tepid" in English.

Those are all examples where there naturally is no antonym, it's just "between".
When I was at Google, Google was systematically silencing Arabs and Palestinians. They had brought in a specific team to comb through memegen and silence any pro-Palestinian (literally pro the people, while anti Hamas) messaging.

While I was there, multiple Googlers actively reached out to me and other Arabs and asked them "Do you support Hamas?" These also weren't just low-level employees either. I had these experiences from software developers all the way to managers and HR people.

These employees that did that are still employed at Google despite the complaints. Multiple Arab and Palestianian coworkers of mine have also left Google since then.
Yuck, ignoring all parasites and pathogens...
Don't forget other factors being ignored like healthcare and transit
Google dug itself into a hole where they hired a bunch of DEI folks when it was trendy, but now that that turned out to be just another psuedo-religion, they are trapped in a religious mire.

It's like hiring a bunch of Christians because the "Jesus loves you" PR angle was hot at the time, and now almost a decade later your company struggles to acknowledge the existence of gay people. Don't hire ideologues, especially en masse.

The faster google can get these people out the door, the better. Focus on the tech, not social issues.
Honest question: Is this a common function of a union? For instance, I don't seem to recall hearing much about auto-workers taking ethical stances and being protected from termination by their union. But it's also not something I've paid much attention to, so maybe this is indeed something unions do. I'm genuinely curious.
It's a "win" for science in the sense that the truth was finally revealed.

It's "loss" in the sense that our truth determining apparatus (e.g. peer review) appears to be highly unreliable, and a massive, unquantified amount of bullshit research has already passed it and is actively being used as a foundation for subsequent research.
I'm thinking someone does some sit in at city hall or such. Things along those lines.

Some folks do a sit in one day, they make themselves heard, there ya go.

There are of course limits.
Where do you base your argument that the consumer should be the one to choose? For many generations, you didn’t have a dozen choices for what bowl to buy, you just bought the bowls available. Why today do we defer to the consumer, whose only role is to give money to use something another has made? Why aren’t we caring more about the workers and artisans who rely on their product sales to survive? Instead we allow large capital holders to build methods to undercut the artisans and in the process they usually make a worse product and ruin the environment somehow.

I think we have this backwards.
The sum is not a problem per se, the costs would be similar in many developed countries. Specialists can and do charge a lot (or hospital that employs them).

What matters is who picks up a bill (or challenges hospital and negotiates). I see little protection in US between patients and healthcare corporations, but its true I look from afar.
Hey, I'm not a "myth invented by the American healthcare lobby", wtf.

I went through that ordeal ~4 months ago, me, personally, I didn't read it on a magazine or whatever.
Huh? GraphQL field arguments are used to filter and paginate result sets.
That's interesting. But, assuming the research found it possible to verify which device a photo came from based on the sensor noise, doesn't that kind of go against the idea that there is a lot of entropy in sensor pattern noise?
I’m also reminded what’s almost the inverse, a Chinese poem consisting of a single repeated syllable.

i'm using the x2100 which arguably doesn't fit your desiderata around 'new' and 'not thinkpad' depending on which way you look at it, but otherwise is sadly the best available option in this segment.

- reasonably good (but aging) motherboard -- 10th gen intel, 64gb ddr4, pcie3 nvme.

- great 3000x2000 13" screen. i just put a matte screen protector (ordered custom cut to measure) and it's way better than many off-the-shelf matte screens

- fabulous keyboard. not mechanical but so much better than any chiclet.

- trackpoint. i've put in the touchpadless palm rest just for style points.

i really wish someone would produce a comparable 'actually new' laptop for when i'm upgrading, but the outlook isn't good.
Unions are to defend employees rights, not to defend ethical stance on random topic. For political issues there exists normal democratic process, where you can take your stance to the streets, boycott, vote, be elected etc. You must understand that stable and successful democracy is a sophisticated mix of checks and balances, including what powers are given to unions and worker councils. Give them too much power beyond the original scope and the consequences can be disastrous for society. Imagine pro- and anti-immigrant activists halting operations of a big business and you can do nothing to them, because taking one side will result in the protest from another side. What value does that bring? Don’t they have other venues?
The piece that helps security-wise is that we're mixing in entropy from a trusted external source, so not solely relying on the local random number generation from a machine in a data center somewhere. Is it likely that local random number generation would be compromised? No. But it does give us a little extra peace of mind.
Some decades ago, anticipating India's enormous demographic growth, WTO funded urban development prototypes, like mixed-use low-rise neighborhoods, to serve as empowering models for the coming century of massive societal infrastructure creation. IIRC, they mostly still exist, and mostly worked out well... and were never copied. Developers much preferred to use land for high-end suburbs.
There's politics and then there's writing code that some Israeli fascist might directly plug into a system that will decide which apartment complex to bomb next.
While less aggressively "motte & bailey" then the sibling reply from PH95VuimJjqBqy, you basically proved my point rather than disproving it. You can't name a single tool that is as easy as cargo. I know that's because if you do there will be a dozen replies from users of that tool going "Oh, my, no it was quite difficult to set up, ultimately didn't work for us, and we had to abandon it for this other tool."

I do not understand the mindset that believes that if you explain why a problem is hard, it is somehow no longer hard, or somehow it no longer "counts". Yes. C is a sprawling multi-decade monster that never started out with a good build tool because it was just too early in history for that to be the sort of concern it is now. I certainly wouldn't dream of claiming there aren't reasons C is complicated to build, even ones that are generally good when you consider the entire history of the project. The world would not be better off if we had somehow waited for C to be perfect before using it, because it is precisely the act of using C that has taught us the ways to improve other languages. I credit the platform for that, I do not deduct points.

However, none of that changes the fact that it is a bear to build anything non-trivial in C, and the simple act of reading a list of your tool options is literally already harder than "cargo build". I basically don't believe by assertion that there are tools that can solve this with just a relatively dainty (by C standards) little declarative file and a single command execution. I'm sure they have a "happy path" that looks like that but as soon as I leave it it'll explode in complexity, and I'm basically guaranteed to leave it at some point for any non-trivial project.
I feel like in part it's an education issue. I don't have the slightest clue - was never taught - what is ok to eat and what is risky. I rely entirely on gut feelings and Google.
This article seems to delve into more than just pictures of food, but squarely back on that topic, I do in fact appreciate actual pictures of the actual food from the restaurant.

If it's some major chain, I probably don't care. I know what to expect. But if it's a local restaurant, especially one that I've never been to before, then a true picture of the food helps me decide what I want to order, or if I even want to order from there at all. An AI-generated image of something that may or may not look somewhat like the actual dish in question is useless, and, if I failed to notice before ordering, I might even feel was misleading.

[Edit: Not just AI-generated pictures either. Stock photos of similar-but-not-actually-the-same dishes work the same way. I would like to see a picture of the actual cashew chicken at the restaurant, not a picture of some random cashew chicken somewhere.]

It seems concerning that he would be in charge of determining AI policy when he was a high-level OpenAI employee for 4 years and presumably has a huge financial interest in their success (https://www.levels.fyi/blog/openai-compensation.html).
I've been acutely aware for a very long time that anything I post on the Internet or say at a conference, whether explicitly public or to people who are all trusted to keep it private (and good luck with that as they repeat it to one or two people), could be attributed to me as a company employee in print. Maybe you get far enough away from your professional context or have a pseudonymous personal social media account but it's pretty risky to believe there is any hard separation between personal and professional sphere. And this is not a new thing.

Erm, Austin is "solving" this mostly by creating an ever larger, car-centric sprawl.

> Has India almost went to war with the US in the last 5 years? No.

No. The US threatened nuclear war with india in the last 30 years though.

https://thediplomat.com/2018/05/looking-back-the-1998-nuclea...

> That's why.

If that was the case, then india would have stopped trade with china. China is still one of india's top trading partners. And one of its biggest investors.

> they got kicked out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_trading_partne...

> Why?

Why ban tiktok? It's a national security issue. And india has the talent, population and resources to do so.

> How many global software giants can you name from Israel, Japan, or South Korea (let alone the entire EU)?

Surely you are smart enough to see the difference between israel, japan or south korea and india? I'm also a big proponent of the EU banning american tech and building up their own tech. The EU built up airbus, why can't they do the same for facebook, microsoft, etc?

> The biggest reason that countries like Israel were able to rapidly develop was because of the soft power of being so integrated in the American tech industry.

What does israel have to do with india? Are you saying india should be a vassal to the US like israel, japan and south korea are? You surely must be joking. India should be a regional power like china, russia and hopefully the EU. It shouldn't be anything like israel, korea or japan. Given its size and history, don't you think india should set its sights a little bit higher?
> A childish move, unexpected from such a company like apple especially with timing.

Especially when you add the failed PWA move before, they're starting to look pretty bad.
"for one" or "for once"?
Perhaps I learn something new, of which I was not previously aware. Or, in articulating it, you do? It's possible we each have information the other does not.
Appreciate it, thank you! We've spent quite a bit of time in the Celery Flower console. Admittedly it's been a while, I'm not sure if they've added views for chains/groups/etc - it was just a linear task view when I used it.

A nice thing in Celery Flower is viewing the `args, kwargs`, whereas Hatchet operates on JSON request/response bodies, so some early users have mentioned that it's hard to get visibility into the exact typing/serialization that's happening. Something for us to work on.
The plane seems like the pinto of planes, by the time Boeing works it all out they will have lost all trust.
Yes. I believe professionals are less tolerant of time-wasting UIs, in part because they stand to gain a larger proportion of the wealth produced by productivity improvements. If a faster UI just means you do more work while your boss gets richer, why would you want one?
John Walker, Tech Executive Who Popularized AutoCAD, Dies at 74 (obituary)
Ideally, as a consumer, in a market where commodity computer hardware is not arbitrarily restricted to extract the maximum attainable profit from consumers? It has been shown time and again that both volunteers and competitors can quickly and easily build and ship software, including entire OS's that run on the hardware, the only thing preventing them from doing so is anti-consumer and anti-competitive controls.

It's asinine that I, as a consumer, can pay over $1000 for a device and not be able to choose which software I can run on it because the developer of that device locks out access. It's even worse that the company I bought it from can arbitrarily disable the device, features, and services that I have paid for, and I have little to no recourse.

I think you misunderstood their story. They [rightfully] got charged for the ER at Hospital #1, but were mistakenly charged for the ER a second time at Hospital #2.
> The National Guard members will conduct random bag checks on passengers

I'm not asking this out of disbelief, but just out of genuine curiosity: What is the legal foundation that allows them to randomly search people who are simply going about their day? What happens whenever people say "no, you can't search my bag." ?
Aside from their spectacular laptops with arm, they seem like they are being left behind.

Vision Pro is probably a gimmick along with the whole VR world right now, which will change soon too but overall I don't see anything exciting about apple.

Their pricing is infuriating and so are their decisions (laptop 8gb ram in 2024???)

To me it looks like they got stuck in the "this is what worked for us, so let's only do this" mentality and take no risks.

They stand on the shoulders of giants and most importantly on their cultural presence...
Fighting the ER. The employee screwed up and did not go to the urgent care per policy for minor cuts. Still, it’s bad optics to fight an employee.
