This is very much a "'No Way To Prevent This' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens" kinda situation.

This is one of a long laundry list of problems to which the average American has been trained to abhor the most obvious solution.
It keeps the saying "the sun never sets on the British empire" true, iirc.
"We all should have worked harder" is such an absurd thing to be saying alongside that sorry excuse you've presented.

The entire point of human rights and rules of war is that there are certain rights the people of even small countries that started the fight are entitled to. You don't just get to excuse relentlessly bombing hospitals and aid workers. "We thought it was a military target, but we will not disclose why, nor will we disclose what we're doing to not make this mistake in the future" is not a get out of jail free card for genocides, especially when it never seems to come with any actual signs of improvement.

Campaigns to stop genocides in other places having been unsuccessful does not justify smaller genocides taking place elsewhere. That's not critical thinking, that's whataboutism.

Particularly considering that not only is America's supposedly democratic leadership not condemning the atrocities, they're actively offering the aid to continue it while claiming to want peace.

Being from India, I can relate to the troubles with islamic terrorism that Israel has faced, which is why I mentioned having initially been sympathetic. But if India engaged in this large scale indiscriminate slaughter of muslims, it'd have been rendered a pariah on a similar tier as Russia. As it stands it's already constantly accused of being undemocratic and violating the rights of Muslims, despite never having undertaken deliberate, remorseless government sanctioned slaughter of this scale.

It took far less for the current Indian prime minister to be banned from Western nations when he was chief minister of a state. All he had to do was fail to stop a much less deadly riot and get repeatedly exonerated from accusations of wrongdoing by several courts.
HR are absolutely cops

Its just 'human in the loop' AI as long as you don't reveal the humans are the whole loop.
Do many really get deceived by this? That would be like thinking a company is being honest when they say "we're a big family here".
If the terms: fundamental group, covering space etc are jargon then more so is the case for words like 'explanation', 'laden' and well, 'jargon' itself. They have precise definitions meant to capture mathematical concepts and ideas for which there can be no adequate words in natural language.
So a lot of folks have been saying AI is nowhere near ready yet so we won't see job losses anytime soon. But then there are people like this CEO...

> Cirrhosis is permanent

Cirrhosis has been observed to reverse in some individuals. It is still permanent for most patients, and we shouldn’t give people with it false hope, but its reversal isn’t impossible. Most commonly cirrhosis reversal is observed after chronic viral hepatitis is cured by antiviral treatment. There are even a handful of clinical case reports of alcoholic cirrhosis reversing after extended abstinence from alcohol, even though that is a rather rare outcome. I remember reading a case report (sorry can’t find it right now), of a Japanese alcoholic diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, who then was severely disabled by a stroke, and had to be moved to a nursing home. He never drank again because he physically couldn’t drink without nursing staff assistance, and they weren’t going to give him any alcohol. Roughly 20 years later, his cirrhosis had disappeared. Of course, this is a rare outcome (he likely had favourable genetics, plus rarely does an alcoholic find relapse physically impossible), but it shows it can happen.

This is why there is a lot of hope that some of the liver disease drugs currently in the clinical pipeline may be able to reverse cirrhosis (and if not them, maybe their future successors). However, current trials are focusing on fibrosis not cirrhosis. And they run into the difficulty that what counts as cirrhosis seems reasonably clear in everyday clinical practice, but how to reliably detect its existence/progression/improvement/reversal to a clinical trial standard of certainty is difficult and a matter of dispute

(No I don’t have cirrhosis, as far as anyone knows, but my aunt had it-albeit asymptomatic, it was only discovered on autopsy after she suddenly and unexpectedly died from a cardiac arrest while asleep one night-which is actually very common, majority of people with liver disease die from heart disease before the liver disease kills them, or even causes any observable symptoms-but I do have intermittent hypochondria, and in some of my past hypochondriac episodes I have become rather obsessed with reading papers on this and related topics.)

I assume the whitepaper missed details of production that they have since had to account for.

I'm quite curious what their cost is today.
But do you need AI? How about this for a screw-in-hole machine:

Assuming the hole is in the Z plane: Camera in the X plane, observes the screw against a high contrast background. Camera in the Y plane, observes the screw against a high contrast background. The motors need not know their exact position, just be of controllable speed. As the screw gets close to alignment the speed on the motor is stepped down, it stops when it's aligned. When both cameras report that it's in position a motor in the Z plane pushes the screw towards the hole, stopping when a plunger next to the screw reports the correct depth.

If you have to be concerned with the Z axis alignment you make the X and Y backgrounds striped, the alignment of the screw is measured compared to those stripes and it's rotated accordingly.

This is how a human would handle it--we do not have anything like the motor precision to get the screw in the hole directly, but we can use our eyes to refine it without *needing* the motor precision. Reliably identifying the screw from the background is hard but this approach doesn't require *identifying* anything. You're just mapping the bounding box of the object of a very different color.

If you have a large movement field and a high precision requirement you might need two cameras, the second with a much narrower field of view.

Zero evidence noise pollution is an unavoidable consequence of density. Plenty of New York apartments have better acoustic isolation than the average suburban dwelling. (If anything, as buildings get higher the problem gets simpler.)
Politically and diplomatically, it could be argued Hamas have been considerably strengthened. They certainly think so.

It seems to me that Israel's overall position - politically, diplomatically, and in terms of physical security - has become much worse since the October 7 attack and it has been their own actions that are responsible for the change. A different response should have seen them politically and diplomatically strengthened.

I understand the emotive reasons for not doing so, but I think most people would consider that Israel has bungled their response to October 7.

I would call this attack on Gaza a total failure. If nothing else a failure of humanity.

It's looking more and more like the 'winners' in this situation are Hamas and the losers are the Israeli government, the US government, and the Israeli and Palestinian people.
> In a very real sense, you just described housing, as well.

But as a result of land use regulations.

Historically it has been common for a family-owned business to have a shop on the first floor and living space for the family on the second. Then you, one, don't have to commute, and two, don't have to duplicate things like parking, kitchen/lunchroom, bathrooms, etc. But then we prohibit this through land use and make everything worse.
Nobody believes in "free" anything you say, they believe in the right of the government to tax all individuals in order to provide services to some (ok, some people might believe "free" hospitals are actually free, but they should hopefully be rare enough to ignore).

The question here is to what extent should the government be able to take other things (besides money) from individuals in order to provide other services to some. I believe it should be limited as much as possible, any many agree with me. It would seem Texans generally do too, as no politician has come to power on the promise of building a train from X to Y by any means possible. (Much to the chagrin of random internet commenters who have in all likelihood never traveled from X to Y in their life and never will).

If a user can do it in a browser, it's a part of the web. If a user cannot do it in a browser and requires a dedicated client, then it's not a part of the web.

> "On September 5, the IDF released the results of its own investigation, finding that there was a "high possibility" that Abu Akleh was "accidentally hit" by army fire, but that it would not begin a criminal investigation"

I'm not sure what your point is here. Accidentally shooting someone is not a warcrime (there are details here in that it still could be if there is a certain level of negligence), and generally a criminal investigation would only be started if there was sufficient evidence in the preliminary investigation to suggest it was intentional.

Could israel be lying about it? Sure. Militaries doing cover ups would hardly be a new story. But this isn't the (metaphorical) smoking gun you think it is.

> In 1996...

1996 was quite a long time ago at this point.

> I also refuse the logic that Israel should investigate war crimes by its army

That's generally what is expected of any army under international law. If they don't then the higher ups become responsible.

In the event of a failure to prosecute, then it goes to the ICC to investigate and charge (israel isn't a member, but palestine is, so anything involving palestine nationals or territory counts, which is basically this whole war. If ICC didn't have juridsiction over something, then the procedure is the UN is supposed to create a special tribunal).

So its not like its solely up to israel to investigate/punish. That is just the first step and what is required for israel to comply with international law. If they fail to uphold their obligations there are other bodies to enforce albeit in practise powerful countries are often ignored by them.

I wouldn't go quite that far. Going to HR to work out glitches in things like your insurance and other benefits is fine, and often the only way to resolve such problems.

Just don't forget who they work for.
HR is on your side, when you are an useful pawn to dethrone someone else the company or some political group wants to get rid of.

Of course, gratitude is not a common virtue on the corporate world, and you're now marked for execution in a near future convenient time.

The parent is only slightly off the mark.

The core underlying thing that is driving exclusionary zoning is not racism, but classism. But racial exclusion is the bonus on top because race and class are often related.

When zoning was beginning to be broadly implemented in the 1930s the core goal was to limit apartments. Apartments were filled of relatively low income, working class renters. They were often also racial minorities too. Two core reasons why wealthy single family home owners wanted to push them far away.

If you're going to make a generalization, I think recursion is fine, efficient, and rarely dangerous.

There may be use cases where it's insecure or has performance concerns, but those are the exception. Most of the time, it's fine.

We don't generally tell programmers that loops are naive, often dangerous, and risk locking up the program. They certainly can, but most just... don't.

Just like loops, recursion can make code much simpler to write, read, and maintain. Every modern language under the sun supports it for very good reasons. Use it.
This isn't difficult to research on your own.
If you're building something really portable, you still need autoconf. Anything that has to run on a BSD or a Mac needs these tools.

The article comes across as a bit of "blame the tools" where the tools aren't really at fault, it's the culture which has failed here. We seem to have never graduated from "wow it actually works" levels of Linux appreciation that isn't that different from the 1990s. Those distributions that most of us rely on (whether directly or indirectly) - Debian, RHEL - need to up their game somehow on vetting the packages they accept.

We also need to stop just downloading .deb packages from the internet and installing them and preferring distros that look at security as a serious business including the packaging.

Blaming autoconf is just silly. Sure it can be annoying, is mired in the past and perhaps seen as an anachronism now. But it's not to blame for supply chain attacks any more than a C compiler can be blamed for supply chain attacks.

HR is not your friend, and several comments here say union, but unions go off the rails too. What avoids both kinds of problems?

Simply different rules for how the union power structure is populated?

I fell for it once a couple years ago, and its even more embarrassing since I had already been working in the industry for like nine years.

I don't really want to go into too much detail, but I had to talk to an HR person because of some "concerns" they had about me. The concerns were actually perfectly fair, and the HR rep was very friendly, but when I explained some personal information to the HR person in response, and despite the fact that I told them it was something I wasn't terribly comfortable telling anyone, they felt it prudent to tell my direct manager, and his manager, and his manager's manager that day.

I wasn't at the company much longer, but that wasn't even the reason why.
