After having signed the Abraham Accords, Israel could have gone a long way to keeping their hands clean by pursuing Hamas through a joint effort with Egypt, UAE, KSA, and other states in the region. Israel has a long history working with Egypt regarding Gaza. Several actors in the region that already receive tacit US support are opposed to perceived Islamic dictatorships due to various complicated reasons. There are complicated reasons why Israel didn't and continue not to, a lot of which comes down to having a direct line to US support, but this option was something they could have done and chose not to. Though full disclosure, I'm not an unbiased party here, but I can view this situation from a realpolitik lens as well.
International law thinks there is a significant difference between different types of death in war, and that is the basis of these proceedings.

You can personally think international law is wrong, but that probably won't affect what the ICC does very much.
I don't think that the time investment (per-se) is the biggest issue for the demoscene, 64k is the most time consuming category in many ways but also becoming a niche _again_ today.

It'd be easy to write an essay on it, but pirates games and cracktros not being as visible in the days of cheap games, copy/lan parties as focal points of computer usage in the 80s/90s, lan party consolidation and separation of demoscene from lan parties, _lack_ of funding for commercial graphics programming (games) before y2k in Scandinavia compared to available talent, inflexibility of early 3d accelerators were all factors in making the demoscene a thing and later it's decline.
> There aren't being constructed anymore. But that's the point I'm making actually: Paris is mostly made of buildings built in the 19th century, and that's only possible because the said buildings where made out of stone. With reinforced concrete, concrete cancer would be overwhelming.

So these buildings were built during the peak of France's imperialist plunder. That's not a very good example then

> In a planet where the population is converging,

Is it?

> the ability to keep using the same building for more than a century is in fact the most economical way,

But so is recyclable materials. Constructing everything in stone actually means you think of your design choices as rather timeless.

Where I live I can actually see the environmental damage of stone quarries every day

Although this part (as noted above):

• You assumed we'd never gene sequenced the bacteria, even though I posted the sequence publicly.

I assumed you did not regularly sequence the bacteria because you did not say that you did and you did not report anything about following manufacturing regulations. I’m glad that you did and do. Sequencing the bacteria regularly is critical to make sure what people are putting in their mouths is what they think is putting in their mouths. And by “post the sequence publicly”, you mean on Manifold, rather than on your company’s website, for whatever reason. Sorry I didn’t check all of Manifold.

really doesn't paint Trevor Klee favorably to me. I'm not sure how you go from "they didn't say anything about it" to "I can assert they aren't doing it". Even if you ask a question directly and don't get an answer, all you should feel comfortable asserting without evidence otherwise is "they did not address this when asked directly". In this case it's unclear whether they didn't address a question asked or the question wasn't really asked at all.

> Especially the whole idea that they wouldn't answer any questions over email, which is a red flag for me about them not wanting a record of a discussion about this.

Or it could just be that they wanted to make sure their statements were taken in context and they got a chance to explain if they thought the other person was misinterpreting the question. I'm not sure it's a *good( idea then, but I can at least imagine scenarios where they think it might be, especially if they've had prior experience with reporters misreporting because of that problem. Sometimes over-corrections happen and cause their own problems.
Even still, doesn’t YouTube get 300+ hours of video uploaded ever minute? Even if you do the ffmpeg veryfast setting I would think it would still take a lot of resources.
They were incremental but they were incredibly accelerated and ambitious. From nobody ever been in space to landing on the Moon less in 10 years. It's mind boggling how fast they were, and how many projects were running in parallel that all had to work when integrated or no "landing on the moon before the decade is over".

Not if they win decisively and eradicate not just the terrorists, but the terrorist indoctrination as well.

Israel is not, however Palestine - as a UN observer state - is. This was enough for the ICC to declare jurisdiction.

To my knowledge, this is also the grounds on which the US and UK dispute jurisdiction: They say, no country in this conflict that they recognise is ICC signatory, so the ICC does not have jurisdiction.

(Not a lawyer, but this seems a pretty spurious and self-referential legal argument to me and in any case the UN accepted Palestine as an observer state, so I doubt that it would fly.)
It is not a separate state. Israel controls the borders and the airspace of Palestine and Palestine is not allowed, at least by law, to raise its own army, navy, air force. Israel is thus sovereign over Palestine and the Palestinians are its subjects, which is why Israel is not a democracy, and why this conflict is a rebellion.
Whew. (Wipes sweat off brow).

Things like this are mentioned, in some detail, in the O'Reilly book Python in a Nutshell, IIRC, in the first edition, which is what I have.

Couldn't quite wrap my head around all the material in that chapter, TBH.

But I still like to read about such stuff, and I do understand bits and pieces of it.

Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to make the Reddit sidebar useful
I literally never used the right sidebar for Reddit (unless it was to click into the subreddit itself).

I frequently would click into a user's profile or the post's subreddit to see the recent/top posts.

So I made a sidebar that allows me to do that without actually leaving the post. Worst case scenario - it gets no users and I still use it myself

Here's the link if you want to have a try! https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/redbar-sidebar-for-...
Inclusions are a form of isomorphism. In the more common developments of elementary arithmetic, Q is constructed from Z, and in particular the subset of integral rational numbers are technically a different ring from Z. The conversion Z \to Q in particular is an isomorphism from Z to that subset.

Type conversions in every day programming languages though sometimes not only fail to be surjective, they can also fail to be injective, for example int32 -> float32.

type-conversions and "implicit isomorphisms" differ because the former does not need to be invertible, but they agree in that they are implicit maps, that are often performed without thought by the user. So I think that the type-conversions analogy is pretty good in that it captures the idea that implicit conversions, when composed in different ways from A to B, can arrive at various values, even if each stage along the way the choices seemed natural.
How can the US end the conflict with a phone call? I think that is unlikely because I suspect those phone calls have already been had.

They've never claimed to be an open-source company. It's unfair to judge a company (or charity) against your own ideas of what they stand for. Some of their software is open source and some is not. Some of their hardware is open (2040), most is not.

The US states:

> The ICC was established by its state parties as a court of limited jurisdiction. Those limits are rooted in principles of complementarity, which do not appear to have been applied here amid the Prosecutor’s rush to seek these arrest warrants rather than allowing the Israeli legal system a full and timely opportunity to proceed.[0]

---

The ICC defines:

> 1. Complementarity: The principle of complementarity governs the exercise of the Court’s jurisdiction. This distinguishes the Court in several significant ways from other known institutions, including the international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda (the ICTY and the ICTR). The Statute recognizes that States have the first responsibility and right to prosecute international crimes. The ICC may only exercise jurisdiction where national legal systems fail to do so, including where they purport to act but in reality are unwilling or unable to genuinely carry out proceedings. The principle of complementarity is based both on respect for the primary jurisdiction of States and on considerations of efficiency and effectiveness, since States will generally have the best access to evidence and witnesses and the resources to carry out proceedings. Moreover, there are limits on the number of prosecutions the ICC, a single institution, can feasibly conduct.[1]

namely,

> The ICC may only exercise jurisdiction where national legal systems fail to do so, including where they purport to act but in reality are unwilling or unable to genuinely carry out proceedings.

The US argues that the ICC has not adequately allowed this process to play out through the courts in Israel.

---

The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs states:

> The criteria of unwillingness or inability to carry out proceedings would involve some indication of purposely shielding the accused from criminal responsibility or a lack of intent to bring the person to justice. This may be inferred from political interference or deliberate obstruction and delay, from institutional deficiencies due to political subordination of the legal system, or procedural irregularities indicating a lack of willingness and inability to investigate or prosecute genuinely.[2]

Imo the hermeneutics are clear, though it will be up to the lawyers from either side to make arguments in favor of/against.

Echoed many of the reasons we didn't start using RAG for a recent project (Tipsiti). Curious how you ensure that users stick around while waiting for an answer? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
You clearly don't know what escape analysis is or how it works. Escape analysis applies only to data allocated at run-time. Programs are generally written before they are run (this is the reason that "run-time" is even a thing) and the functions that comprise them in a Bel program are generally globally bound with DEF. Escape analysis doesn't work on globally bound data. It has already escaped before your program even starts to run.
tl;dr yes: https://brodybrooks.com/posts/2024-linuxgamedev/
Productivity has a standard economics definition: dollars in / hours worked.

The medical industry employs a lot of people. Yes, lots of people have decent wages - that just means the service is expensive, because many hours worked * decent wages = many dollars.

Tech has a hit-driven structure. A tech company that finds product/market fit can generate huge profits per employee - Apple and Google were running at over $1M/employee for a while, and Whatsapp serviced a billion users on 13 employees. That lets them pay high wages on low employee counts. The huge profitability for successful tech companies inspires a lot of copycats which don't make much money at all - these are the parts of the tech industry that pay low wages. But the sustainable parts of the industry - the ones that actually generate profits from a useful product - all extremely high productivity, because an engineer can write a piece of software and the software can be duplicated infinitely.

Is a real dumb phone even possible? Not having apps and a touch screen doesn't make it dumb. Look at kai os for example or even symbian had apps just not nice appstores and nicer features. You still have arm cpus and running an os and apps.

A phone that only makes 4g calls with a 4g baseband os that is only capable of doing calls, now that would be a dumb phone but the cost would not be low.
Can't you just get a plan without data, or just turn off data and wifi?
If you are only using your phone for calls and sms, and don't ever turn on your network, I'm not sure what security problems you are trying to avoid. Unless you are living under a totalitarian government, this seems excessive to me, but maybe there are other things I'm missing.
I'm still trying to understand why people recommend Nix in place of a build system. Nixpkgs stdlib by default expects an autotools project. It will happily integrate with other build systems, as long as you've spelled out your dependencies in both. I've yet to see it generate a Makefile or make any decisions about compilition that weren't spelled out in a "traditional" build system. Could you shed some light on what I've missed?
I use it to help write proposals sometimes. I can prompt it to compare/constract two technology providers and that gets me started writing. It's never a perfect fit but it helps get the creative/sales juices flowing.

I also use it for searches when i know the specific documentation i'm looking for has to compete with SEO spam. It's also pretty good at explaining code, i've pasted in some snippets of code from languages with snytax i'm not familiar with and ask it to explain what's happening and it does an ok job.

i also like to use it for recipes like "create a recipe for chicken and rice that feeds 4", "make it spicier" etc.

> The Union Group effectively burned 2.1 billion in value in 10 years.

Perhaps, but it's also possible that the value was already burning, because the brand itself has lost any caché and the final series of owners accelerated it's demise.

I remember when the brand has a lot of positive recognition 30+ years ago, and then when it became the subject of jokes, and that happened well before those acquisitions.
I'm guessing it's about the investigation.
Sub question: anyone using local or at least self-hosted AI systems productively? What kind of hardware does that take? What’s the rough cost? Do you refine the model on custom data? What does that part look like? (much higher hardware requirements, I expect?) Which open source projects are aiding your efforts?

All I’ve done is try one of those pre-packaged image generation models on my M1 Air back when the first of those appeared.
macOS is far more complex and flexible than the iOS family of OSes (which are really all just iOS, including iPadOS).

Apple claimed they were running OSX back at the iPhone launch, but it was truly very stripped down to accommodate the underpowered hardware, and they've only made incremental, very targeted expansions in the last 16 years.
Also used to be good, newsground. Been around for a long time. Big indie games hit started as jams/browser based experiments there.

It has a forum, some great threads come out, sometimes, such as this one showing how an artists sketches for games:

https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1531517

Many aspects come into play for game dev, a catalog of games built by the community is a great source of inspiration and can lead to technical discussion and commenting. The whole artistry side of things is a big part, text as a medium isn't ideal. Newsground is a hub for all game related materials.

For more technical threads and "professional" discussion I suppose unreal/unity forums and channels are the defacto go to
Not intentionally if so - I must be missing something more subtle in your comment.
"As a prior employee of the government, I also saw nobody mishandle our personal information."

Limited firsthand accounts don't really assuage my fears in the way that, say, Android or Linux does.
From the NYT:

> For now, the announcement is largely symbolic. Israel is not a member of the court and does not recognize its jurisdiction in Israel or Gaza, meaning that Israeli leaders would face no risk of arrest at home.

The US is also not a member

Why would you suspect that, given that already released Windows on ARM devices are not at all locked down like RT devices were?
I think, if what you are saying is true, then Israeli leadership can simply explain themselves as such in court (surrender themselves to the ICC warrant) and be proclaimed not guilty.

An M2 system costs Apple a grand, two at most. You get a lot more than 144 of them for $3M.

I don’t see how you get better support than from the company that built the hardware and software both…

And I was under the impression that Apple was building these for themselves, they don’t need to satisfy other customers demands.
Reading the article it’s clear pretty quickly that Uber was using DynamoDB poorly.

It seems they need strong consistency for certain CUJs and then a lot of data warehousing for historical transactions.

It’s strange to me that they didn’t first convert their 2 table DynamoDB architecture into DynamoDB and Redshift architecture or similar. This is a pretty common pattern.
Doubt anyone will be surprised by this from me, but, Nix, 1000x. The amount of crazy stuff you can make work with Nix and Nixpkgs is nuts. This weekend someone pinged me wanting a static build of a Rust binary that had some gnarly bindings to C++ libraries. In under 100 lines of Nix, we have everything: static musl-based build, dynamic glibc build. Want an AppImage? `nix bundle` with an AppImage bundler. Want an OCI image? dockerTools.buildImage on top of your derivation. Throw it in GitHub actions using the Determinate Nix Installer action and you get automatic caching of the Nix store using GitHub actions cache; pretty useful since neither musl Rust nor static LLVM are cached in Hydra. Want to share your cache? Pipe a list of Nix store paths to Cachix, then they can pull it down, or add the Cachix GitHub action to automatically pull from and/or push to it for the CI build. So if anyone wanted to re-use your cache from GitHub Actions CI runs, they could, provided they trust you. You can even cross-compile with MinGW, or run it on macOS.

It's a hugely complex time sink, but my God, it's great. Whereas I don't generally recommend people go down the NixOS rabbit hole unless they're convinced it's right for them, I definitely think Nix is worth having in your toolbelt, it's ridiculously versatile.
Other companies have put quite a lot of effort into perception stability because it has a large effect on the downstream quality. It's hard to estimate higher order derivatives like velocity and acceleration well if your position estimates are unstable.

Here[0] is a recent story of Texas billionaires who can more or less can pick the representatives they want

Hours before the Texas House overwhelmingly voted to impeach Ken Paxton in May, a well-funded supporter of the attorney general issued a threat to his fellow Republicans.

A vote to impeach Paxton, Jonathan Stickland wrote on Twitter, “is a decision to have a primary.”

“Wait till you see my PAC budget,” he later added.

Stickland is the leader of Defend Texas Liberty, a political action committee that has donated millions of dollars to far-right candidates in the state. It is a key part of the constellation of political campaigns, institutions and dark-money groups that a trio of West Texas oil tycoons — Tim Dunn and brothers Farris and Dan Wilks — have pumped small fortunes into as part of a long-term crusade to push Texas to the extreme right.
