>I personally can't believe the ICC is equating the actions of Hamas and the Israeli government. What a shameful organization.

I agree 100%! Over the past year, Israel has caused orders of magnitude more innocent deaths by terrorist actions (as outlined in the warranted issued here), has a much higher civilian death rate during military operations (Oct 7 was around 60%, while IDF's battles have been higher, with both sides hiding military targets within civilian areas) and should be taken far more seriously, as their support from other national aggressors like the US makes them far more dangerous.

> But we don't have an "outside-in" view? You have an inside + "guess the outside" view.

This is not quite true. There is an Objective Reality consisting of physical laws (invariant in our Universe), Evolutionary evidence explaining the plethora of flora/fauna etc. We are but one species amongst the many that populate this planet. There is nothing "special" about Homo Sapiens (we simply occupy our own niche in the evolutionary tree) except for our different brains resulting in a greater degree of "self-awareness" and more complex social structures than other species.

> If there is an "objective" meaning to our lives which is without recourse to an inside-out view, then we have no access to it.

Not true at all. The whole of Modern Science is founded on trying to find out Objective Reality independent of us and has been quite successful at it.
As the other person stated, more targeted attacks. Israel is well known for their assassinations of Iranians. Why not Palestinians too?
People say this a lot, for obvious and fair reasons, but it's worth noting that a rational policy person in Israel could look at Hamas as a distinct and unlikely form of militant nationalism: overtly Islamist, funded and trained by the IRGC, and led (since 2017) by a messianic lunatic.

I've been saying, only kind of jokingly, that a more likely outcome than arrest or Israel-directed assassination of Sinwar is Haniya (or his successor) taking him out to a field to talk about the alfalfa they're going to plant, and how Sinwar will get to feed the rabbits. Sinwar really fucked Hamas over here. Easy to lose sight of how good a thing they had going! It had tacit Israeli government support and was making a bunch of Hamas people fairly rich.

Anyways, from that point of view: yes, killing tens of thousands of civilians is certainly going to radicalize people and drive them into militant groups. But those groups might look more like the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades than the Al-Qassam Brigades.
It is the deadliest ongoing conflict in 2024 and 2nd deadliest in 2023.
Right on, thank you
Here's what I used in my app [1] to do scaling with CSS only, no breaking points or JS complicated needed. All sizes of fonts and elements (like cards) are derived from the visible viewport and the golden ratio:

:root {
--gr: 1.618;
--font-baseline: clamp(16px, calc(5.725vh + 5.725vw), 72px) !important;
--font-baseline: clamp(16px, calc(5.725svh + 5.725svw), 72px) !important;
--baseline-unit-1: var(--font-baseline);
--baseline-unit-2: calc(var(--font-baseline) / var(--gr));
--baseline-unit-3: calc(var(--font-baseline) / pow(var(--gr), 1));
--baseline-unit-4: calc(var(--font-baseline) / pow(var(--gr), 2));
--baseline-unit-5: calc(var(--font-baseline) / pow(var(--gr), 3));
--baseline-unit-6: calc(var(--font-baseline) / pow(var(--gr), 4));
--baseline-unit-7: calc(var(--font-baseline) / pow(var(--gr), 5));
--baseline-unit-8: calc(var(--font-baseline) / pow(var(--gr), 6));
}

(Initially there was no `clamp()`, but I had to concede that point for a better UX on really large and really small screens.)

It often replaces google search. Instead of sifting through heaps of SEO junk and accompanying trackers,ads,popups,widgets, etc and going through a search-term refinement cycle to eventually find something, the LLM immediately produces a clean (ad-free, nag-free, dark-pattern-free, etc) result. It generally needs to be checked for correctness and has limitations in terms of recentness. But avoiding the low-signal sea of crap that google returns is a breath of fresh air.
It seems more likely than not that the ICC will approve the warrants. This is unprecedented for the ICC to turn its gaze toards a key US ally.

As for how far will the US go, well in 2002, Congress passed (and Bush signed) the American Service Members Protection Act, more colloquially known as the Hage Invasion Act. It authorizes the president to use all necessary force including invading the Netherlands if an American servicemember or appointed official is ever taken into ICC custody. This includes officials and servicemen of key allies, including Israel.

So will Betanyahu or Gallant actually be arrested? Almost certainly not. The practical effect of this is political not legal.

The goal of protests, boycotting, ICJ applications, ICC warrants, UN (GA and SC) motions, "Undecided" voting in Democratic primaries and so on are to incrementally pressure the two key players here: Israel and, more importantly, the US. Why? Because the US could end the conflict with a phone call. They could end it with a press release.

BDS (Boycott, divest, sanction) movements were considered successful in isolating and ultimately toppling the Apartheid South African regime in the 1970s and 1980s. Given this success, an awful lot of lobbying has been directed at US politicans to pass so-called "anti-BDS" laws that are laws in ~37 states. For example, to be a teacher in Texas, you need to sign a contract agreeing to never participate in a BDS movement against Israel.

So the practical effect of ICC warrants is just to incrementally isolate and pressure Israel.

My intention wasn't to argue whether or not prefix notation is intuitive. The point I wanted to make was the intuitiveness of Lisp macros is mostly unrelated to the use of prefix notation. Homoiconicity matters a lot more for macros.

What’s the reason for confiscation?
Thanks for responding. The numbers were halved and the total number dosent account the enlistment age is 15.

Secondarily, what do you when the enemy is using that expectation as piece of leverage to make it practically impossible to strike more surgically.

I’m not the smartest, but I seems like you’re saying that if one side uses their population as attack deterrents and shields that it’s incumbent on the other side to comply?
They could definitely stop it, but things would get incredibly ugly from there.

Because asking a group of people how often they sunbathe is a horrible way to measure sun exposure. Dishonest answers, imperfect memory, differing definitions of sunbathing, and the idea itself that sunbathing and tanning is a proxy for overall sun exposure when they likely don't even make up a significant fraction of a person's UV exposure. Bad, bad, bad.
In medium to big enterprise you usually ask someone to give you the resolutions that's you're supposed to support.

These re resolutions are usually significantly higher then the iPhone mini. usually The product owner or UX/design make that decision because you need to make a cut somewhere, and almost nobody uses small phones anymore. So they're making the judgement call that these people aren't worth the money creating the design, testing that every flow works correctly etc.

It's definitely annoying to be outside of the target demographic however, I know the feeling well.

In 2018 that lockdown situation morphed into "S Mode" which you can turn off in the control panel. The only trick is that you can't turn it back on. It's just that the ecosystem isn't there, both in terms of developers and performant devices.

Hopefully today's announcement is a turning point for that but atm windows on ARM is about on the same tier as a pre-carplay infotainment system.
I promise you, Israel does plenty of targeted assassinations in Palestine. For instance [0] (mildly graphic, shots are fired by Israeli assassination squad into car) - stuff like this is very common in WB and now Gaza.

I think it obviously is a difficult accomplishment.
I agree that some people probably romanticize the "old ways" and more radical forms of self-reliance, but ultimately it is question of taste and interest.

I have enough experience with it to know it is far harder than most people imagine, but still think there is a lot that I think is positive about it.

I usually will give a bullet list of ideas I already had and ask the LLM to add N more to the list, most of them will be garbage, but there might be 1 that I hadn't thought of, and I'll sort of recursively add that to the list, and continue that until I get what I need.
There are some caveats to that, like you can't get anywhere near that with TLS unless you have hardware offload (I've seen claims that it's ~1% overhead, which seems to be 15 years out of date. For cached content, TLS handshakes cause more like a 90% reduction in throughput on my computer). Unfortunately Intel segments this, so that offload isn't on consumer chips. You might be able to use a cheap firewall device with QAT as a reverse proxy to terminate TLS though (it is on some cheap atom processors). I don't have one to measure what it can do. Obviously that's not something a large corporation would do, but for a small bootstrapped project, it ought to take you way farther than you could need.

Also batching database queries is important for high throughput.
We don't necessarily need to build a Dyson sphere to reach other planets and stars.

And if the Dyson sphere gets built by an aggressive singularity to the tune of Stross' Accelerando, then pretty much every human in that singularity's light cone is at serious risk. If that happens, we may have to broadcast human mind vectors out into the galaxy and hope a less awful singularity catches us and gives us a simulated home with reasonable Mind Rights.

Humans have a survival impetus to settle multiple planets and star systems. But a fast burn self improving Dyson swarm might easily create more risk than it alleviates. We might therefore choose to stick to more conservative technologies to hit the stars, even with all your assumptions in place.

Slow growth swarms might be safe if there's physical reasons that a fast burn Dyson sphere is impossible. But if we uncover the potential for fast burn, we could enter a "swarms race", warring to achieve and control the most effective and rapidly accelerating swarm. In this setup, each major political power tries to start a fast burn, because otherwise an enemy will achieve it first and wipe out your swarm. The result could be, for example, multiple runaway Dyson swarms, fighting each other without our control.

Now, saying all this, I still think it would be fun to build a self improving and self replicating swarm. I just don't know if it would be very safe, politically in the short term, and for the species in the long term.

I moved from Pocket Casts (which I really did like) to AntennaPod sometime after the a question of the former. I've experienced what you describe in some other apps, but not AntennaPod.

I'm not a fan of Elon's branding either, but if you've ever actually driven a Tesla, it's very obvious very quickly that "FSD" is not fully autonomous driving, and Tesla itself festoons "Beta" all over the place.

I also read that the hedge fund that bought Red Lobster sold the land the restaurants are built on and then leased it back to the restaurants at an elevated rent.

It was how they financed the 2014 acquisition by spinning all the real estate assets to a separate entity per Forbes. Straight up corporate cannibalism.

So Golden Gate Capital gutted it, dumped it, and then jacked up the rent... Gordon Gecko would be proud.

> That's a tollbooth.

There’s no booth. There’s no place for a booth.

> There's a physical structure which exists for the purpose of supporting the infrastructure and electronics necessary

No, not really. In addition to the overhead gantry there’s a small off road utility cabinet and some solar panels. Most of the mainline NYS thruway for instance now has no toll booths. The tolling system is literally just a stantion/gantry like those holding up the road signs over the main highway. There’s no slowing down, and if you’re not paying attention you might not even notice it. There is no infrastructure for anyone to pull over or slow down, there are no dedicated access lanes. In some cases the toll points are not proximal to any interchanges. All of that has been permanently removed. Hence “open road tolling”.

As far as a pull off area? There are rest stops (some manned) and cell phone lots.

You realize once you put in that one “special” lane you’ve created a massive chokepoint (This hybrid has in fact been the status quo for years in many areas, getting away from it is the point)? It’s all or nothing really.

https://www.stantec.com/en/projects/united-states-projects/n...

I’ll admit the PA site is relatively unfriendly steaming pile. The NY one is much faster. Some states have a 14 day registration period (like IL), which should be the norm IMHO.

Finally, a tag is less and less onerous. Virtually every toll state on the east accepts Ezpass. You don’t need a Sunpass or whatever anymore.

Other thing many don’t do but should. Spend a minute or two making a walk around video with detail shots for damage. This is a small inconvenience over trusting the last check in guy. I prefer not having to get insurance involved if I can avoid it. It’s a $40000 piece of equipment I just took possession of (I do think the idea that this fundamentally can be an absolutely hassle free experience is some first world thinking - this is not a defense of the sliminess of the business, but still, let’s be reasonable, it’s too easy to just get the keys to a newish car. That said, I support existing and some further state level consumer protections).

What antibiotic do the probiotics in kefir produce? (Antimicrobial != antibiotic.)
As far as i understand, Israel disputes much of this (not that civilians have died, but that it has been non porpotional). ICC is innocent until proven guilty, so its going to take more evidence than anonoymous leaks to get a guilty verdict.

Additionally they werent charged on the basis of unporportionality afaik, i think all the charges are based around failing to let in enough food aid, causing a famine.

> What else can Biden say in this situation? He cannot both assent to the validity of the ICC charges and continue negotiating with Israel for things like US-built supply piers on Gaza's seafront.

He didn't have to say anything about the substance. He could even use them as leverage in negotiations without publicly saying anything about the substance, by conditioning US efforts to get the UNSC to hold them in abeyance (which it explictly can!) conditioned on a cease-fire and concrete steps on aid.

Would it work? Probably not. Would it be better for the US interestd broadly than getting nothing at all while undermining the credibility of an institution that the US, while not a member of, has found practically and diplomatically useful in a number of past cases? Absolutely yes.

> We're not signatories to the ICC to begin with!

We have shut up about, or actively supported, the ICC in many cases, and given the US public nominal goal of a two-state solution demonstrating that international institutions are willing to take on abused on both sides of the conflict without ignoring the legitimate interests or rights of people on either side is something the US ought to be backing rather than burning down.
It's not as much "How do I install Linux?" as it is "The manufacturer supports these Linux images but my hardware isn't working right with it so I can call them and they're supposed to have an answer as to making it actually work". Otherwise you're just as good to buy any random laptop and try to make sure everything is supported yourself (not a horrible option, just not the premise of these kinds of laptops).

I had decent luck with Dell (though it was an n=1 interaction so I'm not sure how it indicates overall) ~5 years back on this where there was some issue with the dual GPU nature of the 7730 where on this model you could actually completely bypass the iGPU (it wouldn't even show up as a PCIe device anymore) for the main screen but it was causing some sort of display desync after a few minutes on Linux but not Windows. Loaded up the official image, reproduced, opened a ticket, they sent a firmware patch, it worked.

LLMs sound so confident and expert-like that people going to follow their advice, no matter how much you warn them.

I tried out https://www.perplexity.ai/ because their model give plenty of references for the claims it makes. But when you check the references, they often don't say what the model claims. But no matter, it sounds even more confident because it provides sources.

LLM's are near perfect bullshitters using Harry Frankfurt's definition:
"When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose."
