Way back in 1956, Librascope's LGP-30 had an "R" instruction ("store Return address") that stored (already-incremented)PC+1 into the address portion of the instruction at the destination, which was by convention an unconditional branch just in front of the beginning of a subroutine. You'd follow the "R" instruction with a "U" (unconditional branch) to that subroutine. The subroutine would return by branching to the address just in front of it, which conveniently was an unconditional branch back to just after the call location. So, recursion was out of the question unless you used some more advanced calling convention. (And all opcodes in assembly language were a single letter.)
But presumably if you can target the building e.g. at night when nobody is there, that's preferable to targeting it during the day when there may be more civilian workers.
I don't know what's the right response.

It's important to note that Hamas' suicide bombers were in general manipulated. I.e. this is not some grass roots child that decided they want to "kill you". This is cold blooded recruiting, conditioning, sending people to blow themselves up. I recommend you read up on that a little bit, there's a fair bit of material.

This (the start of the wave of suicide bombings) was also during somewhat euphoric time in Israeli-Palestinian relationships with the peace process happening, it wasn't a time of extreme repression.

You should also look a little at the textbooks and curriculum taught to those children.

Yeah I disagree.

As the article said

> RFC 8259 raises the important point that ultimately implementations decide what a JSON number is.

Any implementation dealing with money or monetary rates should know that it needs to deal with precision and act accordingly. If you want to use JavaScript to work with money, you need to get a library that allows you to represent high precision numbers. It's not unreasonable to also expect that you get a JSON parsing library that supports the same.

oh, TIL that you can support large numbers with the default JavaScript JSON library https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

Anecdotally of course, but that was not my case at all (and I imagine for a lot of people). Counter-intuitively I guess, but I could see a lot more flops just because I would have a) a lot of correct readings by turn and b) easily exploit obviously bad EV plays by others, regardless if I won at showdown.

Folding a lot makes you a boring player, but getting involved a lot and "somehow" getting a lot of chips eventually makes you _dangerous_ at these friendly gathering and that's what gets you unwelcome (at play - I'm still friend with these people I'm talking about).
I think that kind of technology does work, but scale up has been incredibly challenging. Let alone doing it profitably.

HN Hug Of Death?
Methane has a short half-life in the atmosphere, so its cumulative effect after a few decades is close to CO2 unless you're constantly outputting more, and that's assuming you're not burning it.

In the case where you're making methane from atmospheric CO2 and then burning it, it's just returning the same CO2 back, which per the article is carbon neutral.

In college I worked in a hospital where one of the nurses was abusing fentanyl by taking the 'waste' and ordering doses for patients and not administering it. Eventually people caught on and confronted her, she offered to take a toxicology test to prove her innocence so they drew her blood.

She was completely coherent, you would have a hard time knowing that she was the least bit altered, but she had something like 550mcg in her system. For a patient of her size with no tolerance, they'd likely administer 50mcg or 100mcg for regional anesthesia. It's crazy how much tolerance can build.

It definitely needs to be earthquake-resistant; we get earthquakes here constantly.

Another interesting fact about the Tokyo Gate Bridge (from the Wikipedia article): it's basically made of 3 sections, the two sides and one smaller piece in the middle to connect them. The two side pieces are cantilevers, so they're self-supporting. So if a big container ship managed to strike one side and knock it down, theoretically the other side would remain standing, rather than the whole thing collapsing like the Baltimore bridge.

Basically get the yogurt to a nice color and flavor, slightly on the salty side. Then use the yogurt mixture to marinate the chicken, preferably overnight. Cook on a grill or bake and finish with broiling to brown it.

I will say, for many years I wouldn't even consider a 3rd party lens for any system. But now I have a few for my Sony, and I had a couple Sigmas for my Nikon before I sold it off and switched completely to Sony.

Their Art line trades a little off in terms of weight for quality, but costs sometimes 50% of what the first-party brand does.

For more exotic lenses (f/1.2 or f/1.4) this is a huge price difference, and the AF is not quite perfect for some situations, but quite close in performance.

I don't think twice about testing out a Sigma nowadays. Tamron and other 3rd parties haven't been as consistent, but some of their lenses are gems too.

I don't agree with this at all. Beneficial ownership/shadow directorships/controlled entities/etc etc are well established legal concepts, and many jurisdictions have very stringent requirements to disclose and register those interests. Some - like Delaware, apparently - do not. That's a regulatory/political decision that they have chosen to make.

Would it eliminate shell companies? No (and at the end of the day, dedicated fraudsters will just forge documentation to lie about control/ownership anyway). But it would definitely reduce their usage, which I believe would be a net benefit.
Time Machine has been consistently unreliable the entirety of the time since it launched well over a decade ago. It should be common knowledge that it sucks.

Yeah, things took a wrong turn somewhere, with people not valuing local storage and local control of data and just continually downloading the same thing over and over from some cloud provider, for a monthly fee.

It made sense with Netflix, because most people don't re-watch movies often: they usually watch it once and never again, or if it's a favorite, maybe a handful of times. Plus, you normally watch movies at home, where you have a fast and cap-free wired data connection. With music, it just doesn't make sense to me, because I don't want to listen to whatever crap someone wants to shovel to me, and I like hearing the same songs over and over (you can never get tired of Led Zeppelin IV), plus I frequently listen to music while away from home, but somehow people have been suckered into paying for 1) a monthly fee to listen to the music they already know they like, and 2) another big monthly fee for a cellular data plan that allows this wastefulness of mobile bandwidth.

Add to this the proliferation of SaaS, with people now running software from their web browser, and interacting with their data while it's on some remote server, instead of all local on their PC. Now, you can't do almost anything on a computer if you don't have an always-on internet connection.

Yup, I call that the Perlis-Thompson Principle -- because Ken Thompson made a similar combinatorial argument about software composition: you should design it around "one thing".

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/07/blog-backlog-1.html#co...

Files had structure on pre-Unix OSes, but they don't on Unix, because it doesn't compose.

The "Uniform Interface Constraint" of REST is the same thing, and resembles a file system -- everything is GET / POST on URLs.

---

So the reason that shell/Unix and HTTP are so common is a MATHEMATICAL property of software growth.

How do you make a Zig program talk to a Mojo program? Probably with a byte stream.

What about a Clojure program and a Common Lisp program? Probably a byte stream. (Ironically, S-expressions have no commonly used "exterior" interchange format)

Every time a new language is introduced, I think "well there's another reason you're going to need a shell script".

---

The larger the system, the more heterogeneous it is. And software is larger now, which is why MORE GLUE is needed.

This is why shell was the #6 fastest growing language on Github in 2022: https://octoverse.github.com/2022/top-programming-languages

And the #1 fastest growing language is HCL, which is a very closely related form of glue. It's basically "shell for distributed systems"

https://www.oilshell.org/ has JSON as of a few months ago, and is now pure native code (no more Python)

All the normal shell stuff works:

osh$ ls */*.py | wc -l; whoami
327
andy

But you can seamlessly create dicts and lists like JavaScript. They are fully GC'd data structures:

osh$ var d = {name: 42}

And then you can write them as JSON:

osh$ json write (d)
{
"name": 42
}

And you can also upgrade to ysh with one line:

shopt --set ysh:upgrade

(YSH isn't stable yet, but OSH is very stable)

I think of the data languages as layered -- i.e. an entire json message literally is a string, and it can also contain strings:

Right now I have a 3090TI so it's not worth it for me to upgrade to a 4090, but I do run into Vram constraints a lot, especially with merging stable diffusion models, especially as the models get larger (XL-Cascade-etc). As I move toward running multiple LLMs at a time I run into similar problems.

I would gladly buy a card that ran a touch slower but had massive Vram, especially if it was affordable, but I guess that puts me into that camp of enthusiasts you mentioned.

Yeah -- still a bit large to truly put into a CI pipeline that is running against every commit tho. :-/

Do you mind sharing your context window size? I always want to use local LLMs for rapid iteration -- I think 32k window isn't too difficult (Mixtral supports this out of the box, I think?), but I've heard of people pushing 100k tokens locally. Even so, that's peanuts compared to what hosted LLMs are doing, and if quality of writing is your bottleneck, then you wouldn't want to stray too far away from GPT-4 / Claude.

> Man, I sure hope I get to build this further!

Yeah!! It really feels like you've latched onto a nugget of something here, and I'm excited to see what's next!
Speed and ease.

Supposedly, according to Google, gRPC is 10-11x faster than HTTP/REST. It’s also dramatically less complicated.

Personally, I found protobuf to be a colossal pain in the ass. For me RPC with JSON proved to be about 7.5x faster (plus or minus 0.5x). Since there is overhead to parsing JSON which is less than the overhead of dealing with protobuf the Google approach proved unnecessarily excessive.

HTTP is unidirectional and forces the insanity of round trips. A primitive full duplex socket independently accepts messages from each direction. Process the messages as they come in. It’s just fire and forget. Stupid simple.

With primitive sockets there is no client/server after connection establishment. Everything is a client. Servers just have a service listener and either side can carry both client and server capabilities. When both sides carry both roles that which comes online last is the client.
"Shell corporations are companies that don’t actually do any business"

This, I think, is a fairly key differentiator between valid and invalid use of incorporation. If a company doesn't do any business, then it shall not have a right to exist as it has no reason to exist, as the reason companies exist is to do business.

One may argue there are other reasons a company may exist, but I'd argue those reasons only exist as an unintended consequence of the ability to exist as 'shields' or 'cut-outs' as discovered by those familiar with the peculiarities of international law and accounting/finance.

The linked article doesn't do a good job explaining the context or why this particular greenhouse gas matters.

> Significance and policy relevance

> California’s SO2F2 emissions provide a case study on how greenhouse gas emissions that are unaccounted for in emissions inventories can potentially offset progress made towards emissions reductions. In 2006, California passed AB-32, the Global Warming Solutions Act, which charged the California Air Resources Board (CARB) with monitoring and regulating statewide emissions sources of GHGs, and set a target of reducing statewide GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. However, since the long atmospheric lifetime of SO2F2 was not discovered until 2009, SO2F2 was not included in AB-32. California renewed its commitment to emissions reductions in 2016 by passing SB-32, which expanded upon AB-32 and set a statewide GHG emissions reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. Although CARB classified SO2F2 as a short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) in 2016, it has yet to add the gas to the state’s annual GHG emissions inventory or its latest Climate Change Scoping Plan

So this gas was recently discovered to be harmful, but the legal framework for tracking emissions hasn't yet been updated to include it.

> From 2007-2019, California reports an average of 4.8 Tg CO2 equivalents (CO2e) yr−1 in statewide GHG emissions reductions under AB-32. (1 Tg = 1 million metric tons (MMT)). Notably, these emissions reductions slowed and plateaued to an average of 2.25 Tg CO2e yr−1 from 2010-2015. Our inverse model results imply an annual mean SO2F2 emissions rate of 0.7–1.7 Tg CO2e yr−1 (100-yr GWP) or 1.2–2.7 Tg CO2e yr−1 (20-yr GWP) for 2015-2017.

The cited greenhouse gas inventory can be found here:
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/classic/cc/invent...

In 2000, emissions were estimated at 460 million tonnes CO2e. In 2020, 360 million tonnes CO2e.

So sulfyryl fluoride emissions could account for approximately 1% of overall greenhouse gas emissions in California.

"Of the 21,703 identified fatalities whose details have been shared by the Hamas-run health ministry, 13,207 were women, children or elderly (61%)."

"Until recently, however, the ministry had been reporting a figure of 72%."

"Mr al Wahaidi told Sky News that this was a "media estimate". He was not able to explain the basis for this estimate or who had produced it."

"Since speaking to Sky News, he has stopped using this figure in his reports for the health ministry. It continues to be used by the government media office, a separate branch of Gaza's government."

...

"media estimate". Another by the way is that I think we should assume that given the significant bombing campaigns are more or less over the more recent casualties likely include less randomness and more targeted. I would guess that the ratio of women/children/elderly is much lower in more recent stages of the war.
To fix archive.is links, switch your dns off of cloudflare.

You may be able to do it just for archive.is/ph/md/today without affecting dns for any other lookups, depending where/how you choose to edit.

In my case at home I have an opnsense router and using the unbound dns resolver to provide some lan names as well as forwarding the rest to the internet. In there it has a "domain overrides" tab where I specified another dns server just for archive.is .ph .md .today

So 99% of lookups are going to cloudflare, and just lookups for those domains are going to another dns server. And now those links work for any machine at home.

There are other ways to do the same thing different ways in different places like on your laptop or phone, or maybe even just in one browser.

For example a lot of people mistakenly think the problem is dns-over-https because truning off doh makes it work. But that's just an example of a handy way to get the result of turning cloudflare on & off, if cloudflare is only configured in the doh config and not in the normal dns config, etc.
