I’ve worked at the UN. I know the Rome Statute. You’re citing it wrong. (Also, your link doesn’t work.)

The operating law is also NOT Article 8, but the Geneva Conventions. Art. 8 is about giving the ICC jurisdiction, not what is and isn’t illegal. (The entire Rome Statute is about establishing the ICC as a venue. Again, not what is and isn’t illegal.)

> IF war crimes are committed AND a company's product features prominently in the planning of said THEN it stands to reason that the executives and major investors of the company should share a slice of the responsibility for the war crimes

This isn’t how the Geneva Conventions work. (“Features prominently” doesn’t factor into jurisdiction nor criminality.)

But again, do you have an example of even an alleged war crime being committed where Lavender is being blamed? (10% error rate isn’t a war crime.)

I’ve been genuinely asking for facts on the ground, not misquoted international law. To my knowledge, Lavender hasn’t been cited in the targeting of an aid convoy—if anything, having that happen in code would make intent trivial to demonstrate.
Have you seen the new video that went up yesterday? He reviewed the 2.0 software. Some stuff was fixed, but a lot still left on the table.

Unfortunately, Fisker kinda screwed themselves when they broke OTA updates for v1 cars. Maybe they could have gotten themselves out of the media black hole a bit better if they could push fixes without requiring a technician.
Yeah, but back then you had to pay $600+ for a C compiler.
Of course there will always be sociopaths in management and it will never be perfect. But the law is better than nothing.

The employer would be forced to make the after hours policy explicit in the contract. If the employer violates the contract then they risk being sued. If there is any form of retribution (skipped promotion) then they could be sued. The bosses own boss would probably tell him to comply with the policy and stop fucking around. Not worth the risk. But there will always be some criminal managers who ignore the risk.
The big source of methane is cows anyway. This system needs to scale to ridiculous levels to come even close to all the cows.
I think that also had to do with communication being much harder and internet ressources not being widely available yet since fewer had access to computer systems. Otherwise there probably would have been some popular synthwave script language that is optimized for vinyl storages.
Right, there many other cases that require being dealt with complexity...

But that would be a fault in logic - not treating Bayesian contexts (of priors and posteriors) properly, outside a solid framework. Which should be a recognized part of the process.

Not many centuries ago a form called "spectral evidence" was used, according to which that the victim stated that the suspect appeared to them in dreams and fantasies was valid evidence - it was used in the Salem witch trials, for example.

It is possible to see a definite lack of "good common sense". (And a parallel title on the HN frontpage today goes "[Autoconf] makes me think we stopped evolving too soon".)

I'm trying to understand; it sounds like you feel that an AI selecting targets and letting some live is just as bad and indiscriminate as a group forming a charter that reads "exterminate all Jews." (Paraphrasing, but the meaning is not disputed.)

That's hard to agree with. I'd rather the group that tries to save some civilians over one that targets all civilians intentionally.

Wouldn't you?

That said, we can criticize. But we should do it constructively. Provide a better option, militarily, or otherwise. (I don't have one. And anyway I believe this article is baseless.)

Short of offering options, we're just picking sides, and to me it looks like you're picking the wrong one.

And, that is bias.

Systems shape behavior yea. This is why I'm always arguing for changing constitutions instead of being angry at politicians. If the system sucks, it produces sucky policy. Being angry at the politicians is like being angry at water for flowing down hill.
I think there's a good chance of there being some really bad bugs/system failures in about 25 years because of this.

Giving away fentanyl for free?

You have a romantic view on drugs. In such, you either are really young (and still idealistic, which is good but lacking life's experiences) or you never drink more than a beer and don't really have contact to the addicted.

The aim should be to get them off this, so they stop doing EVERYthing just for getting the next high. The aim is not to even supply more of these highs to them.

You have to take it away and to help the people. Or they will take something away from you (just as it is meant in EVERYthing for the next high..)

I say no. I'm not agreeing here.
Minimum FIDE rating is 1400, so you really cannot be 800 FIDE. Also the gap between online and FIDE ratings is closer than people think.
I am not sure how and why everyone is ignoring the elephant in the room here. These laws are being "forced" by different "international" organizations at pretty much every country (except partially China and countries like Iran and North Korea that don't give a damn). Many countries could make money accepting financial refugees. That's how Hong Kong and Singapore built their wealth city states (good governance was just a part of it).

Even if we are being moralistic and transparent; for some countries, being tax-free is their only competitive advantage. Instead we are now to assume that tax-free jurisdictions are evil and should be abolished. Might as well just restart colonialism; at least colonial countries got to be part of the big trade.
I have a Bachelor in Physics, and a Master’s in CS.

I am not really looking for the basics. I am looking for advanced material that can be handled without the help of a teacher. The book should be written in that manner.

As I have a good background, I can read AI papers and get the math directly or study some and get that.

But whenever I start to study something, more often than not, the book is written in a dry manner and cannot hold my interests.
also: A lot of recipes are absolutely terrible. That included internet recipes but also recipes by renowned chefs and whatnot. There seems to be some sort of evolutionary pressure for over complicating recipes out the wazoo.

E.g. when trying to find a recipe for a vegetable lasagna, and skipping all the incomplete recipes, you end up with a recipe that involves 10 ingredients, involves a pan, a couple of bowls, an oven dish, quite some prep-work, and an oven.

The lasagna recipe I prefer has 6 ingredients, uses an oven dish, an oven, and no prep work. If you don't count the time it spends in the oven it's maybe 10 minutes of work. It's tasty to the point where the first time I made it I overate to the point of having a stomach ache for hours afterwards.

Guess which recipe is better for someone new-ish to cooking?

Knowing professional welders myself, and trying my hand at welding, it takes a lot more than 30 days to get good at it. A welder also needs to learn some chemistry, all kinds of techniques, the strengths and weaknesses of various kinds of welds, how to prep the weld, etc.

A good weld is a thing of beauty.

Welding is also pretty dangerous. It takes a good welder to do it safely, and do it without ruining very expensive parts.

There's good reason that competent welders get paid a lot of money.

In 30 days, the new welder probably has learned how not to set himself on fire, blind himself, fill his lungs with poisonous gasses, etc.
Relatedly, this is why big companies (eg Google) all have internal standard interchange formats (eg Protos). It’s so every programmer and every service and every file stored can always be consumed or produced as needed.

Even smaller companies I’ve seen end up with an “interfaces” or “types” repo that contains definitions of every external object.

I don't think any of this makes what I said less true.

There's a lot you can learn in many basic service jobs, and become much more effective than if you don't learn it.

But if the standard is "onboarding", then both are quick.

I am not a welder, but I've had some welding safety training. It doesn't take a month.

> Thus, I suspect, if you don't call that "f...f...frob my C program" function known as setlocale, it will never happen.

Of all the footguns in a hosted C implementation, I believe setlocale (and locale in general) is so broken that even compilers and library developers can't workaround it to make it safe.

The only other unfixable C-standard footgun that comes close, I think, are the environment-reading-and-writing functions, but at least with those, worst-case is leaking a negligible amount of memory in normal usage, or using an old value even when a newer one is available.

> You don't have to like Hamas but compared to the PA they're not very corrupt,

If your society's two choices are a.) lots of corruption, and b.) less corruption but with terrorism, then you've pretty much shown that you're incapable of self-governance as a people.

> and since they stopped doing suicide bombings they've been quite successful as a resistance movement. Since several years back they've also been quite good at unifying and coordinating the political parties and militias on the Gaza strip in preparation for and during periods of israeli military aggression, including with their main competitor in Palestinian Islamic Jihad, socialists from PFLP/DFLP/Fatah movement, Iran's Mujahideen movement and so on.

Sounds like if Israel didn't exist, these guys would just be fighting against Fatah instead. Or fighting between themselves.

> Considering that embedding vectors represent a lossy compression of the original text or images, is achieving a 100% recall necessary?

For the app, maybe not. But as a database absolutist, I think you must be able to dump all rows of a table with

WITH
limit_result AS (SELECT *, {similarity} AS metric FROM table ORDER BY {similarity} ASC LIMIT 10),
dist AS (SELECT MAX(metric) AS max_m FROM limit_result)
SELECT *, {similarity} AS metric FROM table, dist WHERE {similarity} > dist.max_m
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM limit_result

... assuming that the ordered values are unique across the table and fully sortable

A recall of <100% may skip some rows in the limit_result, which then also won't show up in the main table's scan result, thus potentially corrupting a data dump process that uses sorted output.

This is not about investement. This is about getting what you paid for.

It seems such companies cannot be trusted by looking in their beautiful big blue eyes. Who would have thought?

Nowadays if something you want to purchase (software, hardware, car, rocket ship, zen garden, whatever) "promises" to have certain features and functionality, you have to check thoroughly before buying into it.
You can have that attitude internally without impacting your ability to do your job or grow. People in leadership leave companies all the time, there's no need to be tied to a particular one.
There's lots of things we should be doing as a species, but realistically speaking a somehow global, human-wide effort to boycott will never, ever work.

It would help if the authors explained how exactly they used the Elo rating system to evaluate quality, since this seems like a non-standard and rather unusual use case for this. I am guessing that if an image is rated better than another that counts as a "win"?

Finally, writing "ELO" instead of "Elo" is incorrect (this is just one of my pet peeves but indulge me nevertheless). This is some guy's name not an abbreviation, nor a prog rock band from the 70's! You would not write "ELO's" rating system for the same reason you wouldn't write "DIJKSTRA's" algorithm.

Is that the most hellacious whataboutism ever or just depraved statistical mendacity?

Hey, let's run through a thought exercise. Is Darren Woods, CEO of Exxon-Mobil for 7 years, more directly responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, prevalent misinformation campaigns, suppression of alternative energy and EVs, active lobbying against carbon taxes, with a private/company jet, I'm assuming at least a 8,000 sq ft house and likely numerous other properties, etc.

or... is an Inuit or African living a subsistence existence not far from what humans have lived for several thousand years without catastrophic warming?

Of COURSE it is everyone's problem, because the first world countries who profligately burned fossil fuels for 150 years while gaining global supremacy have visited upon the world environmental misery and perhaps total biosphere collapse.

But who's responsible? Yeah, a lot easier to figure out if the responsible parties weren't the ones in power.

Now WHY IS THAT? Oh right, because we've all internalized the limited liability corporation, as if it is some physical law or biological reality. It's not, it's a social construct that happened to work well for externalizing costs on the rest of humanity, with the assumption that there's no blowback.

You marry the limited liability corporation with the "science" that is economics and the total certainty they have applying sociopathic game theory to complex nonlinear reality that conveniently can't tell me: "how much should we tax carbon?" much less any of a host of other questions that might guide policy in the coming age of scarcity and environmental degradation.

If economics can't measure it, it doesn't exist in their science. Which suits the limited liability corporation, which can pollute and destroy with near-complete writ large.

The book the article is based on, seems well researched.

One has to wonder, is the term 'philanthropy' a misnomer.. is it really 'misanthropy', with the very powerful determined to torment everyone else without end to accept their values?

Do the very rich and powerful have the right to use their wealth, in a tax wheeze, to determine the nature of health, education, or whatever for everyone else?

If you have managed to rise to the top, is it your morality and care that got you there, or is it the absence? Is "philanthropy" even a kindness, or is it a form of social engineering to create potential new markets for their investments?

I personally find the whole world of philanthropy rather revolting. Some unscrupulous rich folk, now want to be lauded and perceived as "kind", only that kindness comes with lots of very specific strings attached. Its not kind or helpful to manipulate others as you have access to levers of power that they don't, to them determine what is taught in schools, or what is acceptable medicine, etc. I'd rather they built a pyramid or monument to themselves, and keep out of micro-managing the world and everyone in it.
Pure guess, but given the high market share of iPhones in the US in that demographic, it may actually be the higher usage of iMessage among young adults that prevented the ascendancy of WhatsApp there.

I think this is all stupid. One the one hand the tech companies get slammed for not inter-operating, then Apple gets slammed for inter-operating. Loads of phones have come with vendor specific messaging apps and such, it's just that Apple committed the crime of making theirs decent and successful.
