And I can also say that your view is less context than a personal biased view on the situation. Mixing up Hamas and Palestinians as if they're all the same. Excusing Israel's response as just and proportionate, meaning that shelling entire neighborhoods, sniping people left and right, shooting at an ambulance are somehow fighting terrorism. Saying on all platforms that the goal is to "exterminate animals", from the highest personnel in positions of power. Shooting civilians who try to get food, blocking humanitarian convoys from entering, putting as part of a plan the total blockade of water, food, electricity of millions of people, that's fighting terrorism ?

> Launching suicide bombers from it and launching 10's of thousands of rockets at Israeli cities. I think this is a more accurate context than yours.

If you want to put context, put context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_co... . But a fight on numbers is stupid so let's not go there. You want to put context as to why 10's of rockets explode on Israel cities, you have to explain why for each rocket Israel retaliates with 10 deaths on Palestinian side. It's all part of it.

> Israel is not "colonizing" anything. The state of Israel is the UN recognized legal entity in Mandatory Palestine,

I don't know how someone can still believe that when there's a page dedicated to illegal Israeli settlements: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_settlement

EDIT: I'm not even making this up: "Israel approves plans for 3,400 new homes in West Bank settlements" -- "Israel has built about 160 settlements housing some 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land the Palestinians want as part of a future state - in the 1967 Middle East war" <https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68490034>

> But Palestinians have been attacking Israelis all along as well in some pretty bad ways and refusing to try and settle.

Oh come on. Let my country come to your land, force you to leave by hundred thousands, harass you, beat you, kill you, and let's see if you accept me settling there nicely and comfortably.

We could go on and on and on but please put the context if you want to talk about it, the real one, not the one you pick. The one that is internationally recognized but no one says anything because of interests. The one that is plain visible for all to see. There is suffering on all sides, please don't pretend it's easy.

Maybe we don't even disagree. The real conflict is between the Israel State and the Palestinian "State", or governing bodies. Let those far-right atrocities who know and help each other fight in a cage and leave the population, on both side, alone.

Unfortunately for them Cory Doctorow’s email signature is:

So if such signatures are enforceable then his signature is too, which nullifies the whole thing.

Given that Sam Altman was involved in OpenAI, I'm not sure why people are surprised that he has interests in making money, becoming powerful & getting attention. He's an one-trick pony, like many entrepreneurs in Sillicon Valley, their interests and decision-making patterns are really predictable.

The same is true for the people working in OpenAI. Everybody wants to make their million comp + potential huge cash out with their options. But is this worrisome? I don't think it is, competition is catching up, if they haven't already.

With the recent Claude 3 release(amazing!), Gemini and open models, which are most akin to GPT-4.

Unless OpenAI releases AGI on GPT-5, I don't really care about what happens to OpenAI. It is still really relevant, but we know by now that there is no moat in AI built.

OpenAI releases a new model, and 6 months later, others catch up with it; unless they would have a huge advantage, I don't care if they are all tied up with Microsoft and want to make money. Nobody wins, nobody loses anything.
This one still confounds me.

It seems like 80% or more of jobs are bait and switch at worst and definitely not aligned with hiring expectations at best.

Let's be generous and take Israeli estimates: 10,000 civilians, excluding Hamas fighters.

The initial militant attack took 253 people hostage. As reprehensible as that is, it's not worth 10,000 civilian deaths.

AGI is a human level machine intelligence. Think about all the sci-fi movies and games with robots that can talk and understand humans perfectly, and whether they are consciousness or not is a separate question. A good example is the Gith from Mass Effect that have an entire civilization (if that's what we could call it), but their intelligence is a different and behave more like a hive mind. Another example could be C3PO or even R2D2 (given that they both understand human language, intentions, etc).

> I mean surely a calculator can pass human levels of computing speed and accuracy on multiplying large numbers.

You can't talk to calculators, something that humans do. Transformers (GPT, Claude) are much closer to AI that we can talk to, however it becomes evident they do not think like humans despite their impressive amount of knowledge.

I would say the biggest missing piece of the puzzle with LLMs and transformers is theory of mind, or the capacity of humans to model the thinking of other humans. Once AI can model your thinking base on the context of the conversation, it will be capable of holding long conversations and provide useful, realtime insights. I think at that point we will have AGI, and we will still not have a full understanding of consciousness or whether AGI is conscious.

The perceived hypocrisy stems from the contrast between OpenAI's public statements about benefiting humanity and their actions, which reveal a profit-driven focus similar to Microsoft's. Unlike Microsoft, OpenAI lacks transparency about this core motivation. Microsoft is not bullshitting that they do AI for the common good under an NGO.

The study did not find damage at the concentrations typically used in household dishwashers. This is only for professional dishwashers.

You may have a point with regard to this article though, as the author uses professional dishwasher rinse aid and detergent without real knowledge of what is happening.

If you don't notice any difference when using rince aid, you may have very soft water. On many dishwashers (not sure about Bob), you are supposed to adjust the amount of rinse aid being used depending on your water hardness level, and for very soft water, it may very well be zero.

What you have neglected is history. The last time Israel pushed people out of their homes, they were not allowed to return. This fact is seared into the memory of every Palestinian for generations. They carry the keys to their original homes to this day. So forgive them for not wanting to abandon their only homes because they want to kill people they have been abusing for decades. Please read your history prior to making unfounded statements and justifications.

does us even have a network of protected and optimized bike lanes+comfortable parking for them ? If you can't let a child drive alone in that lane, it's not safe. The point of bike infra in NL is that it's generally safe, many shades for hot summers, semaphores autoswitch when bikes approach to give them green, there are lot of bike parkings and bike routes are shorter compared to car ones, as result you'll get to dest same or faster compared to cars. As result, ppl prefer to use a bike even if car ownership in NL is pretty big(cars are mostly for long trips for routes where pub transport is not that good). Does US have anywhere same lvl of bike infra(or even close to it) any any existing city?
Great news, that should help them stay relevant. We will always want to make more movies.
The problem is that management is one of the best places to hide. What do I mean by that?

You typically get paid more, and you get a degree of autonomy that you can use to arrange your own time. So, big incentive.

But you also get to hide, in the sense that it's hard to call out an incompetent manager like you can call out a dev who doesn't know how git works. After all, a manager needs to interact with a bunch of people, and any one of those people could hold up the show. This is why people feel thrown under the bus, their manager needed an excuse that wasn't incompetent management.

It's nebulous. If someone delivers a project well, was it them, or was the project not ambitious enough? If they don't deliver it, did they not have enough resources, was the timeline unrealistic?

So there's a massive incentive to manipulate the baseline. You want people to feel like you are personally delivering way over expectation.

This is where leadership comes in. Nobody can know the nuts and bolts of how you manage your weekly standups, but everyone can see your TED Talk. You must be really important, why else would you be at Davos? You're clearly very up to date on modern management techniques, that's why you have an agile coach for your team.

It's not all smoke and mirrors. I do think that leadership means imparting some sort of overarching goal in a business, along with direction like "we want to exit any business where we're not number 1 or 2 within 5 years". That's not stupid, but it also isn't time consuming. Mostly what they need is a lot of experience in the trenches, but by the time you're a senior leader, you already have that.

I get the feeling a lot of these made-up things that leaders come up with is precisely because they don't do anything during the day. The decisions they make don't take that long, since they are baked into experience and organizational momentum, and getting the updates from subordinates doesn't take much time either, but they feel like they need to be seen to be always busy.
Yes, I would say so, nice observation.
I also think that many "idea guys" are doing the performative role of "the leader", i.e. the idea guys doing the corporate/business drag of the "thought leader".

Funny enough I didn't mention fractional scale but heterogeneous scale factors across monitors. But frankly, I am a little offended that anyone would try to portray any Xorg scaling scheme as "working". It's a crapshoot at best, and the illusion is shattered the moment you start an app or game that doesn't carefully coordinate its scaling factor. I've tried many things, on both KDE and GNOME, and it's just not reliable. Pop!_OS has its own workarounds, too, and it's still a mess; having to log out to make scaling changes take effect reliably is a terrible experience. Dragging windows across screens and having some of them change scale and others not makes your desktop feel utterly unpredictable, it's just not going to work. Even Windows doesn't have this issue anymore!

(Of course, Pop!_OS, being pragmatic, is just going to move to its own Wayland compositor and sidestep all of that non-sense.)

Anyway, the true irony is that Xorg doesn't actually have especially great support for a wide range of use cases and hardware, it's more just that NVIDIA specifically holds Wayland compositors back for desktop support. I use AMD graphics and it works great. Intel graphics works, too. Raspberry Pi computers on VideoCore now run Wayfire by default and its about as smooth as it ever has been. Wayland has seen adoption across different use cases, from embedded machines to powering "Linux" features in ChromeOS and Windows, to the Steam compositor on Steam Deck. To paint it as though Wayland only supports developer desktops running Intel graphics is just silly.

Anyway, yes, I am not volunteering to debug your machine, but the vast majority of complaints about what Wayland can't do aren't even correct. The common wisdom is still that Wayland can't even do screen capture when I was using it in Zoom calls two years ago, not to mention the newer developments like XWayland Video Bridge in KDE. Obviously, it sucks that people are having stability issues with this switch, but just like "Works on my machine" is not a meaningful retort to issues, "Doesn't work on my machine" is also not a good excuse to hold back the future forever. Whether Wayland compositors are ready or not, X11 is not a viable future. For many users, it's not a viable present. So, if you're not willing to debug your Linux issues, I can't blame you. But, in return, you can't blame the rest of us for continuing without debugging your personal machine issues, either.
I've seen it recently - a guy in extended family who is hardcore introvert to the point of being very annoying in family settings (yet leads a small team of devs) wanted a promotion and eventually got it.

He got overly stressed from all the extra responsibilities, and after few months asked to move back, while everybody told me he did fine job.

Here is the thing - he still wasn't ready/good fit even if at glance all seemed fine. Its not just raw skills that make you a good fit for such a role, its the whole package, and how you manage long term while not going crazy. He was simply too junior for that role, even if from whole palette of skills only confidence/'maturity' (lacking proper word here, non-native speaker) was lacking. That was enough.

He will get there eventually. No point pushing hard for position that somebody may even give it to you, if it eats you alive (he kept elevated salary though... multinational corps are often weird)

The second culture is built for politics. There is a neat dividing line - whether questions of truth should be settled by consensus or trial against nature.

The academic STEM culture is a very carefully nurtured group of people who believe (at least to a greater extent) that truth should be decided on by a repeatable, impartial procedure that leverages natural phenomenon. So if two engineers disagree about the minimum conditions for a building to collapse, they are usually the sort of people who will converge on what happens in reality.

The more normal culture is to accept that while there may or may not be an objective truth, what really matters is what most people think. Narrative suddenly becomes important and the truth depends a lot on what you are trying to achieve. Think lawyers and judges. They may accept an objective truth exists in principle, but at the end of the day to them an argument can only be settled by most people agreeing on the truth (including dead people if tradition gets involved).

The first culture is more powerful when dealing with reality (to the shock of nobody). The second is more effective at dealing with groups and generally is more pleasant to work with, except when they lose touch with reality completely and goes berserk with groupthink.

Coincidentally, these dynamics explain why political bodies often choose to drive over the cliff rather than swerve.
So leadership is a skill, not a job.

The article also gives examples of many major wars, with the majority of examples have numbers of civilians killed usually greater than combatants.

So, as horrific as this war has been, I don't think the claim that this is "one of the the deadliest wars for civilians in general" holds up.
