One significant difference is that Ukrainian authorities goes really far to evacuate civilians while Hamas goes really far to prevent civilians from evacuating.

Earlier it has been said that based on previous reporting from previous incidents we can roughly trust the total numbers Hamas release evem if they are obviously wrong in that they claim every death to be an innocent civilian.

We had 16% of all the world's COVID-19 deaths in the US despite only 4% of the world's population.

Even our own CDC said we had that the reason we had the worst impact from the disease because we have the sickest (read: fattest) people.
Reminds me of the time I worked at Apple support and got a phone call where a guy had wiped his system drive like 10x+ because he didnt want to lose his data but had run out of inodes so literally nothing was able to create or do anything, and his entire OS was shitting the bed.

I showed him how he could type rm -rf and then paste the files in the terminal and it took him a good 15 minutes for him to get it all organized but once he did he literally cried because I got his computer back.

Those days were pretty brutal, but there were shining moments.
OpenAI-backed Ghost Autonomy shuts down
Ghost Autonomy, a startup working on autonomous driving software for automaker partners, has shut down, TechCrunch has learned.

The startup, which had raised nearly $220 million, posted a note on its website that it ended worldwide operations and wound down the company as of Wednesday. The company employed about 100 people and had operations in Mountain View, Dallas and Sydney.

Just a day or two ago there was another IDF raid on Shifa hospital.

Months ago the IDF claims that Hamas is operating out of tunnels under the hospital, they raid the hospital. A few weeks later, they raid the hospital again, and again, and again, up until this recent raid some days ago.

You claim Hamas is diminished, but how diminished can they really be if they keep popping up in the same predictable place over and over and over? In North Gaza, the place the IDF has been fighting to secure for the longest, Hamas just pops up one day in the same place they have many times before and so they have to raid the hospital again.

This is all according to Israel's own claims. If Israel's claims are true, then Hamas is one of those mystical enemies that pops up everywhere and is super strong and justifies all sorts of things to defeat, while also being weak and "diminished".

I think the truth is that Israel wants to destroy the health system in Gaza and drive the people out. Shifa hospital is basically rubble at this point.
> I think you're overthinking it

Quite likely :)

> And an oft-ignored factor is the cleanup advantages of allocating on the stack, which offsets any space and time disadvantages you might see with recursion.

This is a very good point.

Alright, you've convinced me to start playing with recursion again. Just not in java or python.
Yeah, it might not be funny, but the tautology draws attention to the fact that there is no privileged frame of reference.

In other words, the only thing we can say without qualification is that a second is just a second in the same frame of reference. All other statements must be heavily qualified.

Even things like "A's second is longer than B's" are only valid in some frames of reference and not others.
I can generally have these tools solve a simple issue in about 0.1 USD, or "complex" issues in 1-2 USD (complex generally just means that I'm spending time prompt engineering to get the model to do the right thing).

Wouldn't something like this have to be extremely valuable? And if it's extremely valuable, the risk of delivering it in a rocket makes it too risky?

Taobao isn't the kind of company that needs to ship extremely valuable goods. So this is likely just a PR stunt.
On a relative scale, I agree with you that the amount of training involved differs for accountants and burger flippers, thus this is a good example.

On an absolute scale, comparing skills of burger flippers, accountants, aeronautical engineers and surgeons, the first two basically lump together.

I look at skill gap more in terms of „how hard is it to completely automate/autonomize this job“. Which is fiercely easy both for the burger flipper and the accountant, yet a bit harder (though not impossible) for the other two.

Nobody has any problem with Irish heritage groups, or Polish, or Italian.

I agree. I thought "I should be the kinda person who loves AI". While doing some courses was super interesting. Waiting around while the computer does a load of computation, a very slow feedback loop, and dealing with ai ops related stuff is not really that fun. Neither is the pytorch kinds of stuff (which is mostly thinking about the shape of data and what shape it will be after doing X to it). I much more enjoy app development, and AI-ifying things with API calls as needed.
Pretty interesting. Other competitors in this space include Temporal. What’s interesting about the Cloudflare Workflows is they host the workers, whereas Temporal requires bringing your own compute.
Like all crypto projects. it's a scam.
Our corporate policy is that any company communication received outside normal working hours can safely be ignored until the next working day. I encourage employees to turn off their email and phones outside of work. I do require a personal contact information in case of genuine emergencies but this is rarely (if ever) used. Regular downtime is important for mental health. The way I view it, if an employer needs to contact people outside of work hours, it’s a failure of management and proper planning.

Nonetheless, this is an extraordinarily stupid bill. If passed, I hope the exodus of companies drives the California economy into the ground.
no, it's a reminder that there is more than one side to the story.
Energy usage is a self-imposed problem. We know how to generate massive amounts of electricity with zero emissions: nuclear energy. Insane self-described environmentalists successfully lobbied to make nuclear reactors nearly impossible to build in most Western countries, much to the delight of the coal industry. But laws can be changed, and if we're choosing between changing a law, and an environmental disaster, we should obviously change the law.

I'm pro-lab-grown-meat though; if it's a tasty source of protein that reduces animal suffering and reduces the environmental impact of the meat industry, why not?

I believe the poster above was referring to the biggest representatives of the extremist minority of Israel who are cheering this conflict on in those terms. Not all of Israel is pro-genocide, but those that are are more likely than not to be in that group.
What's this "we" stuff, you speak like we already have one world government and as if I'm responsible for providing food for people all over the globe. The future is regionalization, not more globalization. War is already killing globalism and it will intensify soon.
Sorry. Guns do kill people. That's their whole point.

I know roughly ~1000 people. Maybe 10 of them have the physical capability of killing someone, in case you don't know, it's not actually that easy to do it yourself.

Of those not all could mentally do it under anything but the most extreme of circumstances. 2, maybe 3 might be actually capable of ending a life under extreme circumstances.

With a gun probably, at a guess, ~400 - 700 could kill someone if they got anxious/scared enough is my bet. Even if I'm way off it's a lot more than without a gun. Couple of hundred at least. Not 2, or 3!

So yes, I'm sorry, guns definitely, 100% kill people.

And more people will absolutely kill someone if they possess a gun, than if the didn't. And by extension same is true if AI.

I'm interested how you even come up with that response? It's obviously factually and logically wrong. What makes you think it makes a reasonable argument to anyone?

Also, worth pointing out, thar AI in this case is insanely unfit for it's purpose (unlike a gun) and will have randomly killed lots of innocent people, even if the AI algorithm says otherwise.
Your post looks a lot like: “Individuals have no rights except those given by the government.”

I think the Egyptian fence has been built by Egyptians.

That border is even more tightly controlled than the Israeli one AFAIK.

Also, some useful conext:

The Israeli border wasn't always like today. It has been progressively tightened step by step as nutjobs on the Arab side used whatever leeway they had to stage suicide attacks and smuggle in rocket parts.
> The main concern I have with frameworks is the inversion of control of the code logic, the lack of composition, the complexity of handling edge cases outside the scope of the framework. Frankly writing apps is not my thing typically. PyTorch is moderately unobtrusive, but other tools on top make tons of assumptions and break more often than they help in the long term.

100%; lived that story. In my experience this is usually the result of some poor design assumptions on part of the framework. Other times people want to use something for which it wasn't designed for. In the case of Burr, we still have a few things to iron out, but given our platform backgrounds, we're trying to be cognizant of things that have annoyed us in the past, e.g. two big ones: ability to customize parts given esoteric deployment needs (e.g. persistence layer); adding in observability without it coupling you/getting in the way of logic.

> the LLMs get better, you might want to focus on detailed documentation so that the future AIs can master your framework and help your users

Yeah I am imagining a command line tool, such is the bulk he would need to deal with. The speed that would give you, plus the ability to pipe into grep/sed etc. would be very useful.

But if the recruiter has already gone through the work of vetting the candidate, why would the company not just talk to the candidate directly and “cut out the middleman”, so to speak? What guarantee does the recruiter have that providing the company this holy grail candidate will be met with anything more than “wow good eye, thanks!”

It's likely going to follow the lab grown meat used to be sold in Singapore supermarkets. Started with much hype it was predictably a flop, since noone wanted to buy it.

“only”? One stop is a factor of two in light sensitivity, so this is actually quite a big difference.

Ironically: the extremist minority in Israel is probably more likely to be of MENA origin, not less. Ben Gvir is from Iraq, for instance. The Mizrahim are generally more conservative, and the Ashkenazim are generally more liberal.
France and Germany's laws don't mandate a 9-5 life. Germany's isn't actually even a law at all - it's a self-regulated model which encourages agreements between employers and employees. France's is an actual law, but again it's about negotiating an agreement - it doesn't mandate specific hours.

This makes sense - workplaces differ enough that the it's best to negotiate these things based on the work situation.

In your case given that your work has flexible hours then you could negotiate to be contactable during your "on" hours and not when you're "off". This could be as simple as "you can call me on Slack when I'm logged on there".
I have recently briefly looked into Assistants API (if that's what you're referring to) but it seems relatively if I'm not mistaken.

"Well prepared" in an understatement. Taiwan has world leading safety measures for earthquakes.

How do people that work on AI reconcile the fact that the product they're working on is going to be used to kill thousands of people with no recourse?

It seems like Israel is already bombing indiscriminately, with 35 000 killed (the majority of whom are women and children). Was AI used for these targets?

History is going show a similar story to when IBM helped facilitate the Holocaust, this genocide also has people working on tools that enable it; people "just doing their job."

Did AI target World Central Kitchen or the 200+ humanitarians, journalists, hostages and medics? This is just one aspect of Apartheid Israel's war crimes.

Apartheid Israel seems to be a pariah state, if it's not with their hacking or bombing consulates, it's with the military industrial complex relationship with the US. Do they think their actions are conducive to their well-being?
Love the idea of this, and very excited to see how it pans out. That said: I hate the code review UI. Just dump the changes as `git diff` does and let me review them using all the code review tools I use every day, then provide revision instructions. Building a high-quality TUI for side-by-side diffs should not be the thing you are spending time on, and there already exist great tools for viewing diffs in the terminal.
From your own link:

> At the height of the phenomenon, Avraham Burg, former chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel, speaker of Israel's Knesset and interim President of Israel, stated his view that, given Israeli indifference to the tortured lives of Palestinian children under occupation, suicide bombings come as no surprise.

... Palestinians have been tortured from birth for decades. Acting surprised when they fight back is either disingenuous or stupid, or both.

The idea of ”local first” is sort of related: https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/

I think tldraw is an application that does this well in the browser. When you open it up you can start working right away, your work is automatically saved in localstorage or similar, but you can always save to a file. And you can also click share and get live collaboration on the document. Saving to a file still works the same.

It’s best of both worlds I think. I get the convenience of a web application with sync/collaboration, and I have control of the files if I want to. The format is plain JSON and if the original application goes away I could put together a renderer so that I can view the file.
Then honestly what is the point? PR for upcoming elections?

The cheapest one. It would take either a long-ass time to restore or cost a lot of money, but I'm betting I'm not going to ever need it.
So the idea is that you'd be able to manage your cloud environments easily since most of it will be automated. And their's an abstraction layer which helps you reduce the complexity of dealing with the infrastructure. You won't have to rely on infrastructure experts to manage your environments.

Essentially the larger thing is having ready-to-use infrastructure definitions (stacks - like MERN) and easily create environments out of it
I ran into a similar situation not long ago on the system partition of a linux installation. The partition was too small to begin with and as new updates piled up there was almost no space left to start deleting stuff. It took me about half an hour to find a subdirectory with a tiny bit of stuff that could be deleted. It was like being in a room so plugged up with junk that you couldn't open the (inward swinging) door to let yourself out.

From the tiny beginning I started being able to delete bigger and bigger spaces until finally it was clear and then of course I resized the partition so that wouldn't happen again. The End.
Dresden wasn't full of guerilla army disguised as civilians, and there weren't even the tools to target specifics as we have today. Any civilian was evacuated from north Gaza 5 months ago, secured by IDF under Hamas attacks. Those who stayed there insist on sticking to a war zone and risk to be labeled as terrorists. blowing up mosques and houses is nothing compared to raping innocents with no one to defend them miles away. And while they hold hundreds of the same innocents underground and keep provoking Israel's destruction, I see no reason to care about their precious houses. Israel is judged by Western morals in a barbaric medieval war that it was dragged into.
Is that their line? Musk companies have used that excuse a lot when they actually can't do something (see Tesla FSD). During the test flight, they called that orbital insertion was complete after they ran out of fuel (long before reaching orbital velocity), so I'm not buying it.

Also, at that altitude, there's enough drag that you can de-orbit a big metal can pretty easily by simply pointing it in a high-drag orientation. Most LEO satellites do this when their missions are over, and it takes a couple weeks.
> For scale a single hour being cloudy or sunny could be an ~10 terawatt-hours worth of energy being dumped into the lake or not and that doesn’t have a significant impact. Meanwhile Canada total electricity demand at 577 terawatt-hours in 2022. Even cooling every house in the country across a full summer just isn’t going to move the needle here.

I'm not worried about it, but I don't think you can just assume that energy input from sunlight at the surface of the lake is going to be equivalent to slurping up cold water from the deep, heating it, and re-injecting it. Sunlight doesn't make it more than about 200m underwater, and deep bodies of water have distinct layers of temperature and density, largely because the water doesn't circulate freely through those layers.

At the very least, you're creating a current where none existed before.
There seems to be little evidence to your statement “Israel seems to trying much harder to avoid civilian casualties than […]”. All estimates I have seen seem to indicate astonishing rates of civilian casualties, hence why Israel is getting so much criticism of basically indiscriminate killing in Gaza…
