Here's a recent one, which cites a discredited Zaka source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68162920

And there is plenty of reporting on the atrocity propaganda lies Zaka spread, but here is an Israeli publication's reporting: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-31/ty-article-ma...

NYT also repeated discredited lies: https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schw...

Detractors say that discrediting Zaka propaganda is equivalent to Oct 7 denial full-stop, even though Israeli publications have also discredited their claims (I guess Haaretz must also be an Oct 7 denier) - you can be the judge of that
The government has done studies showing that the vast majority of the population would be dead not long after a sustained nationwide power outage. All it takes is people missing a few meals before the fun starts.
When I hear "cloud-native" I think "built to scale up well". As opposed to "built to run on file servers" which means "doesn't scale well at all".

Is that just me?

Also, [1]. I start by saying it's centralized. I'm proud of it. It's the right direction for moving version control forward. And modern use of Git isn't really distributed anyway; it's centralized. We don't push to production from our dev boxes.

> Some of the SBERT models now are based on T5 and newer architectures so there's not. The FlagEmbedding model that the author uses

Oh thanks! Right I had heard about T5 based embeddings but didn't realize it was basically an LLM.

> I tried quite a few models for my RSS feed recommender (applied after taking the embedding) and SVM came out ahead of everything else. Maybe with parameter tuning XGBoost would do better but it was not a winner for me.

XGBoost worked the best for me but maybe I should retry with other techniques.

> you find that the fashionable LLMs are not world-beating at many tasks and actually you can do very well at sentiment analysis applying the LSTM to unpooled BERT output.

Definitely. Use the right tool for the right job. LLMs are probably massive overkill here. My non-LLM based embeddings work just fine for my own recommender so shrug.
Walmart sells 5 gallon water totes for $15. that is essentially 5 days for one person. We have a few on hand (family of 4 plus dog) and every six months or so, I empty them, clean them, and re-fill them. Also, there are gravity filters that work great if you have things like creeks near you.. Berkey Filters are pretty good for filtering out contaminants, as well as 2-bag gravity filters that are really popular with backpackers because you can fill the dirty bag up, hang from a tree, and do other things while the clean bag fills.. (not an endorsement, but their pictures show nicely how they work) https://www.platy.com/filtration/gravityworks-water-filter-s...

One option is to do what quick-service restaurants (e.g., Subway) do for chips, cookies, drinks, etc.: keep a hefty supply of product on hand, but consume it first-in-first-out (FIFO, like a queue). During times of stability (when supplies are available), add new supplies to the "back" while you consume from the "front".
Backpacking water filters aren’t all that expensive and work fine with most water sources. Wouldn’t produce enough to shower in but certainly enough that you could survive in a disaster.
Sure it does.

If the software (1) only ever used on trusted data (2) never makes network requests, then even with most vulnerable libraries, it simply cannot be exploited. But features like "fetch favicon from untrusted websites" open huge security holes in case there are ever bugs in http or image libraries.

(note that in case of local compromise, it does not matter if keepass is secure or not - the attacker can install keylogger, inject code into process or replace it altogether)
Optical illusions are cool and all, but can you name one that would make it harder to read a sign?

I do wish and hope more apps become like Zellij, though. With possible keybinds on the bottom, etc. I tend to avoid TUIs because i can't be arsed to remember the keybinds and prefer to just use CLIs since those are in my history.

You claim I did ad hominem - please cite those specifically. The behaviour of yours I am pointing out can be supported with supported arguments by referencing all the various times you have and continue avoid.

Also, couldn't this actually be you projecting - or is that an impossibility? "I don't address each of your points because they are so ridiculous it's not about rational argument in text. I assume you are much smarter than these points indicate, and so the actual issue at hand is deeper, and I think if you're forced to confront that with some real accountability you _might_ be able to recognize this with your reputation on the line."

Here's my citation for the Hamas Charter mistranslation - I actually forgot to add my source and details for that, so I'll do that now, though it points to you're not even aware of most of the "other side's" argument points:

PROPER TRANSLATION: "Israel will be established and will continue to be establishment until Islam invalidates it, just as Islam invalidated others before it."

Source: https://jstor.org/stable/26331116

The actual language used is properly translated to "invalidate" Israel (and not specifically Jewish either, and more people are now differentiating between Judaism and Zionism - the bad-unjust actors wanting to conflate themselves with Judaism, wolves wearing sheep’s clothing, as is said and warns us in the bible - in the context of speaking of unjust actions, e.g. it won't be Jewish (or even specifically Zionists) that will be eradicated, it will be any bad-unjust behaviours that won't be allowed to continue.

So are you saying then you disagree with the translation in my citation above?

Also, have you yet watched the videos by credible investigative journalists debunking the propaganda/lies created and distributed by your side? E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mxfnya3ZRc

A lot of people get confused by assembly in WASM unfortunately, which leads them to claim that it is performant and if it's not, then fixing it is a trivial exercise of just making a fast WASM JIT compiler. Where did I hear this before?

They really should have gone for JSVM IR or something, but that would sell it to no one.
While not “extremely” cold, Quebec’s hydroelectric dams are mostly in the central/north of the province. I think Norway is similar to the point where electricity pricing is a lot cheaper in the north because of limited transmission capacity.

You're free to disagree but you didn't disagree at all.

No one is saying they're not useful at all, the problem is Vercel (or really Rauch's entire cartel of companies) strong arm different technologies and topics to fit a narrative that's disproportionately in favor of "use our thing".

RSCs are not amazing if you're not Vercel and don't have access to their closed build format (especially after they killed the serverless output format)

I use image optimizers, I'm not about to go around telling people that img tags are bad.

> Finally, there are lots of alternatives to what you're stating, no one forces you to use NextJS over, say, Remix or Vite with SSR.

Remix had to reject RSCs to start because as one might expect, having one (1) design partner doesn't make for the most fully baked proposition.

Also the "there's other choices" refrain ignores the fact that no one is developing in a vacuum. Vercel is pumping enough money into the ecosystem that the mindshare is shifting towards Next regardless of technical merit. So it's not enough to say "who cares if Vercel distorts what Next is, just use something else"
Why on earth would you do that on a test? I can't think of many more dangerous things to do in a car than reversing while going around a corner!
Yeah, I wonder about this.

I don’t know Teams, but Zoom has to do some image processing (it has some face cleanup tech which is weird because everybody knows a programmer’s power-level is directly correlated to how disheveled and tired they look), and also some audio filtering (need to filter out keyboards).

But, I mean, Discord manages to do the latter for pretty cheap, and the former is stupid optional vanity stuff anyway.

The conclusion I come to is that Zoom is a badly written program that would never have seen the light of day if we weren’t suddenly launched into WFH around 2020. That program is like the third worst thing that happened that year.
That was actually more of a demonstration of the utter lack of community in our society, among other things.

> But in this case the only losers would come from other people acting on illogical cognitive biases (with the exception of people who currently choose not to tip, or to undertip, who would then be forced to pay the real amount - but surely those people aren't a significant lobbying group, not a sympathetic group that others feel need protecting).

As I see it, there are two big groups of losers: restaurant owners, who fear that people may dine out less because of the "sticker shock" mentioned in the article, and any tipped staff of restaurants, who fear that their take-home pay will go down if they are paid an hourly wage with no tipping. So even if the "sticker shock" problem corrects itself after an adjustment period, the amount of money to be made as a waiter could very well permanently go down.

Step-up in basis is capped (somebody forgot to mention that) so it benefits the rich but doesn't save much taxes for billionaires.
... support policies that punish and ultimately eliminate rich people.

Privately rich people have the power to change the world, sometimes for good and sometimes for evil. The dream is to eliminate the Bill Gateses, Elon Musks, Donald Trumps, and George Soroses of the world, so that only those connected to government and The Party have real financial power.

Draw the line low enough, and it might eliminate the Paul Grahams of the world. Or even, as in Russia, small time independent farmers (https://www.britannica.com/topic/kulak ).

I obviously think this is a terrible idea. Destroying the wealthy out of jealousy is a bloody impulse without a bottom that leaves everyone powerless. But it does greatly empower those who can make themselves exceptions to the rule, which is the actual point.
>Relatively speaking, the rich do pay less % of their share of income in taxes, despite them obviously being way more able to pay taxes than the lower castes.

It's not entirely clear what you are trying to say, but as a share of income earned, the rich earn 20% of the income, they pay 40% of the income taxes collected by the government. They objectively pay more than a fair share.
This is like the very last possible issue with this plan. It's like worrying about a space elevator unbalancing the earth's rotation.

Passim then uses GnuTLS, which is famous for containing more holes than Swiss cheese [2][3].

Where's the data to back up your assertion about the rich "sit on most of their money"?

I think many of the top tech billionaires have their wealth in company stock (in the case of Jeff Bezos and Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates has diversified away from just MSFT stock, Elon Musk is mostly TSLA and SpaceX)

If the rich actually sit on most of their wealth (all cash - 0% interest, no income, no interest-bearing instruments/bonds, no selling stocks) then they'd pay no taxes on their wealth in the USA. But inflation would hit them hard, especially in the past couple of years.

[... for Federal government Employees.]

I cynically think this is a deceitful attempt to appease certain political donor companies more than anything else:

> [Manchin:] “Local businesses in West Virginia and across the country are also suffering from a lack of consumer traffic during work days, which is negatively impacting our local economies. I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this commonsense legislation that brings our society closer to pre-pandemic normalcy.”

Or:

> [Romney:] “It has been nearly a year since President Biden formally ended COVID-19 public health emergency declarations, yet most of our federal office buildings remain empty -- wasting millions of taxpayer dollars every day,”

So why isn't he in favor of selling or mothballing the buildings? Oh, right, it's not about the government saving money, it's about forcing the government to indirectly spend money with private interests.
Remix is adding RSCs in the future, they've already stated. And Vercel isn't as big in influence as you think, many are also having problems with NextJS that are causing them to go elsewhere such as Vite or Remix as I mentioned. There is no monopoly in the frontend.

> Why do Linux users hate GUIs?

Typically, because we find them inferior to CLIs/TUIs. A few possible reasons:

* Graphical programs tend to use more memory/CPU for the same task.

* Graphical programs are more likely to prefer/require the mouse.

* Graphical programs seem to change their interface more frequently.

* Graphical toolkits all seem to suck, in ways that vary by toolkit and version, and this suckage tends to make us actually notice more than ex. new versions of ncurses changing things under the hood.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of GUI programs that are great - some of them even better than CLI/TUI alternatives - but the odds seem to be stacked against them.

Former Red Hat director sues Raleigh company over alleged 'anti-white' agenda
Medical software often sits at a sad intersection. The incentives aren't really there. It's not glamorous, the pay is going to be at best equal to other fields, and you have to deal with medical doctors, who assume that a terminal professional degree conferring upon them a title they appropriated from academia means they are experts in all fields. Throw in a bunch of regulatory bodies and standards to follow and manage and you have the perfect storm of ghettoization.

So if you're able to, you're going to go get another job. Because unless you're in the executive suite, the money isn't really worth the headache. Which leaves those who can't get another job. Which produces a Dead Sea effect.

From the other side, you may have people who really want to be in medical technology, but don't have the technical chops to do so. Which is its own problem.

So you have those who could do the task, but aren't interested in doing it.

Then you have those who are interested in doing the task, but can't do it.

> If that were was all there is to packaging - upstream developers could do the same job & have their CI/CD pipeline shoot out a .deb file.

That's what some users seem to want today. It's why both Flatpak and Snap exist with the goals of letting upstream developers just CI/CD spit out a "universal" package for Linux and getting a more "Mac-like" (or "Windows-like" if you prefer) install experience with less waiting for package maintainers to get around to publishing upstream changes.

Admittedly, Flatpak and Snap aren't universally beloved either, yet, but the balance of what the job for a distro's package maintainers should be is definitely in shift.
