A while ago I did a bunch of thinking about how to convince people and came down to that it's usually one of three techniques: coercion, rhetorical persuasion, or modeling good behavior. (Broken down as violence, active non-violence, and passive non-violence.) I used to believe that persuasion was generally more effective at convincing others than modeling, but these days I'm not so sure.

> I don't know of many mainstream Jewish historians who would agree that antisemitism didn't exist prior to the 19th century.

Depends on your your definition of "antisemitism"; if you mean "general prejudice against Jews", then sure, obvious that existed. But if you you mean "anti-Semitism against the Semitic race (as opposed to the Aryan race)", then that's quite a different thing.

I don't think it's a hard-line distinction; obviously there's overlap and nuance. But the move from more or less generic religious persecution to racial-based persecution was a very marked and notable shift that many many people have commented on, and that's really not very controversial.

Does this distinction matter? Well, it seems to me that it does. I don't think the holocaust would have happened without this. And all of this strongly shaped Nazi world-views, which was really the point I wanted to make.

One might assume that, but there's still things like the fully digital Bangladesh bank robbery of 2016 [1].

Bank transfers are often, but not always, reversible, and sometimes finality is a feature desired by all participants and explicitly designed into systems, e.g. RTGSes. CEO fraud is on the rise and wouldn't be possible without these systems.

That's one reason why these are often not directly available to private consumers without a banker and some level of ceremony in between.

"Ethical Pluralism." It can still be worth to take the arguments through the paces as an exercise of checking reasoning and respecting someone else's beliefs, but yeah, people can definitely reason correctly from different values and wind up with wildly different normative conclusions.
Someone should've suggested to them that they were originally meant to be disposed in a controlled manner via a

[Wrong] ~Russian vehicle that was delayed (they opted for uncontrolled reentry because the batteries were risky to keep around at the ISS, the controlled disposal vehicle was delayed and they had figured the batteries would be vaporized during reentry)~

Japanese vehicle, the crew for the disposal being delayed due to issues with a Russian vehicle, so they could instead blame the Russians in some manner. It'd be tricky to rephrase, but that hasn't stopped the media previously.

Luckily it wasn't SpaceX, else every mainstream outlet's headline would be some form of "Elon Musk, owner of Starlink, drops space debris onto unsuspecting Florida man, nearly kills son"
At the very top of the article there are Key Points bullets:

* The state is sending out hundreds of thousands of AI-generated letters looking for revenue, many of them focused on remote work or a change in tax residency.

And in paragraph 9 of 13:

> Klein said state tax auditors and AI programs are examining cellphone records to see where the taxpayers spent most of their time and lived most of their lives.

I think the argument isn't that AI is required but that AI is more convenient/efficient then alternative methods for these same tasks.

Boeing challenges whistleblower allegations, details how airframes are made
I recently saw Hinton give a talk where he very, very, very excitedly and confidently gave us an example to demonstrate how incredibly intelligent and creative LLMS are.

He asked an LLM a question, but he didn't give us the answer. He let us have time to answer it ourselves. Personally I knew the answer instantly. He gave us the answer and sort of assumed no one would've known the answer and then used it as as justification for how smart these systems were. It honestly didn't feel very reassuring to me and honestly, I'd be surprised if it wasn't a topic covered somewhere on the internet before. With all due respect to Mr Hinton, I felt it showed his age a bit honestly.

What is difficult about Hinton's statements is that he can't really give evidence to back up these sort of claims. How do you measure how much a person knows, and how do you objectively measure how much an LLM knows? How smart is an LLM? You can't really know. It seems almost rhetorical. How many notes in a saxophone ?

We can make observations but that's not a great way to measure anything precisely.

There is a limit to language and I think this is one of those topics where that limit is touched or even breached.I don't even know if "intelligence" is a sufficient enough word to describe what's going on with these systems. It's the best word we have but it doesn't seem to adequately describe what we're observing.
Skill and pay in many fields seem pretty inversely related. You can learn software skills in a few years and make six figures. Tell that to an accompanist. There isn’t one accompanist alive that has less than a decade of serious hard work to get where they’re at. Average salary for an accompanist in California is under $40000. Even in software, game dev is considerably harder than most positions and it’s the lowest paying.

Yes, and this has been anticipated for a long time. The US started doing serious R&D work on dealing with autonomous swarm attacks 30-40 years ago. Recent generations of solid state lasers appear to fill that role nicely, since they are very cheap to operate. Some of the US test systems actually use white light, which I did not anticipate, which means that wavelength-selective defenses (e.g. dielectric mirrors) won't be effective.

Bitwarden lets you export them as part of at least their JSON export, but unfortunately there's no specified interoperable format yet, so you can only import them back into Bitwarden (which you can at least self host; you could reimplement their serialization format if you're really determined).

There's some movement in that area in the related FIDO working groups, but I think we'll (by design) never see something like CSV export, and it'll be more like a standardized account migration.

> I'd rather simply use a random per-site password; looks like passkeys are the same except non-interoperable.

They're significantly better than a random per-site password since they can't be compromised on the server side (due to being based on public key cryptography), unlike regular passwords and TOTPs.
I agree, in nearly every example I've seen, I see zero "understanding of physics" if anything it showed me the opposite.
There have always been Jews in Europe. Martin Luther famously spent quite some time ranting about them.

All I said is that the shape of antisemitism was different before the 19th century, and that this distinction matters. Not that persecution of Jews didn't exist before that time, and certainly not that there were not Jews in Europe.

Whether it's a major factor in European history is somewhat subjective. It's certainly a major factor in Jewish history.
I doubt they have any additional power plant or a fusor. They’re just injecting boronated water into the proton exhaust, and presumably getting enough fusion reactions to be useful.

“The fusion process was first devised during a R&D program for the US Air Force’s AFWERX (Air Force Work Project) initiative, where boronated water was introduced into the pulsed plasma thruster’s exhaust plume. This created alpha particles and gamma rays, clear indications of nuclear fusion.”

It sounds fairly crude, but if it works it works.
> The attack included about 170 drones, 120 ballistic missiles, and 30 cruise missiles.

If Israel attacks Iran with 170 drones, 120 ballistic missiles, and 30 cruise missiles is that a proportionate response?
I'm not a lawyer, but in general I think it would come down to the laws where this took place, the nature of the work, and the impact on the employee's ability to fulfill their job duties.

My understanding is there could be a common law duty to the employer at play, even when the employee didn't sign a noncompete and there's nothing specifically called out in the employment agreement.

It's also my understanding that if the employee acted to the detriment of the employer, such as compromising their own ability to perform job duties (as happened here) or competed against that employer, they may be in breach of that duty and could be terminated for cause depending on the specific laws.

So, if anybody is thinking about trying this, it's probably worth checking into local laws and potentially keeping records such as the hours worked for each employer. I would assume it's slightly more cut and dry when an hourly employee is in breach, since the hours are normally already tracked.

Another common one is "if I don't do it, someone else will". Which completely misses the point that even if true, it doesn't mean that it's ok to do it.
OK I think the point I was trying to make is getting lost.

All I'm saying is:

1. The fact that someone hasn't yet been fired for underperformance doesn't mean they're meeting expectations, and will be retained indefinitely without improved performance.

2. If someone in that situation is subsequently discovered to have a secret second job, then the reason for underperformance will be obvious (they never intended to put in the effort that would be reasonable to expect for a full time job), so there's no longer any good reason to believe their performance might improve.

I’m pretty sure Crimea will be ceded to Russia in the eventual treaty in exchange for NATO-like security guarantees for the rest of Ukraine, as unfair as it is. With how many Russians there are now, the enmity that will exist for a generation, and Sevastopol being a Russian base for a lot longer, I don’t think US diplomats see any realistic way they can materially support a retake Crimea that will lead to a stable situation. However that’s up to the Ukrainian people, which currently majority don’t want to cede it.

Hitler's ascension to power was aided and abetted by the ruling class which thought he would be a tool they could control. And the Reichstag fire was just a pretext for Hitler to assume complete control; the Nazis were already in control of the German government at this point.

And Hitler did seize power quite easily. After the Beer Hall Putsch was put down, he was given extremely light treatment for treason. Upon his release from Landsberg, he was funded by the industrialists and aristocracies who were afraid of a communist/socialist government.

If you've read Mein Kampf or listened/read many of Hitler's speeches from 1924 through his seizure of power in 1933, there's one thread that runs through them all; anti-semitism and blaming the Jews for all of Germany's woes.

It's a SiRFstar chipset and speaks the SiRF binary protocol, not standard NMEA0183, so it was difficult to use it for anything else back in the day. Apparently there's a simple command to put it into NMEA mode, but I think that's not preserved across power cycles or something? It was a long time ago... I'm tempted to snag one off eBay and go on a roadtrip down memory lane.

These days, it depends on what you're doing with it, but it's hard to go wrong with this thing that claims to have a U-Blox 8-series chipset:

Are you implying there's automated SIM swap attacks in the wild ? Or, maybe you are saying SMS can be phished ? I do agree SMS 2nd factor can be phished, but if phishing is the attack, password leaks is irrelevant since, you usually phish both passwords and SMS 2nd factor together, so password leaks don't make any difference.

That’s Steve’s greatest interview, when he was in the wilderness between Apple and … well Apple. My favourite part is his whole conversation about the printers Apple started when he was there. He waxes poetics about how innovative they were at making laser printers for the Mac. When he just stuffed a Canon printing engine in a plastic shell, and had Canon do it for them. But to him, the focus is on the innovation of desktop publishing, and he’s not wrong.
Makes sense though. Some learning English might only understand "run" in the sense of something people do outside, so the latter statement would be less ambiguous.

Nationalism was coming alive as a powerful political force in the second decade of the 20th Century, so it's hard to estimate what would have happened had Princip missed. Odds are the Black Hand would have simply kept trying to kill the King as a means of obtaining independence.

Even had the Balkans not been the powder keg, I think there was not much doubt that there would be a conflict on the Continent between a unified Germany and either Russia or France. Germany was trying to compete for colonies, for resources, and even without the web of treaties that lead to WW1, would have found a reason to flex their muscle.

Basically. The first part is creating a certificate request for a developer certificate, then apple creates a signing certificate for you. Then each executable part of your distribution needs to be signed with that signing certificate.

The second part is the notarization. This is where you upload a .zip, .pkg, or .dmg to apple and they build a hash of your distribution and serve that to folks through gatekeeper. You can also staple the notarization to the package and then you don’t need to talk to the apple servers.

This way apple can revoke your notarization and users will get warnings about your software being maleware.
I've found where LLMs can be useful in this context is around free-associations. Because they don't really "know" about things, they regularly grasp at straws or misconstrue intended meaning. This, along with the volume of language (let's not call it knowledge) result in the LLMs occasionally bringing in a new element which can be useful.
