The optics of equating a terrorist organization on the one hand with a democratic state with functioning judicial system and accountability for any crimes committed on the other hand by putting them in the same press release is pretty bad for the court.

I'm all for investigating if there were any orders of directly targeting civilians being given to the Israeli military, etc, but that's a pretty far fetched assumption in my opinion. On the other side you have what's a pretty clear case of a large scale terror attack against innocent civilians.

In addition, why doesn't the ICC look into Egypt's conduct of refusing to allow civilians to flee from this conflict?
Also to add, public companies have to share their financial records. Private companies can keep them private for the most part (not to the government though). It will make financials more opaque.
Any PDF from a generic google search?

like this https://www.adobe.com/pdf-page.html?pdfTarget=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3...

(but don't look at the annual report, that marvel of a public disclosure document not only doesn't copy&paste paragraphs, but has another nice niche use of PDF - you get garbage chars instead of text, rather ironic)

> In April 1964, Alaska was struck by a magnitude 9.2 megathrust earthquake that devastated much of Anchorage.

This is a sidebar that I think is historically underappreciated.

Take a look at this incredible graphic, which goes up to 2005: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes#/media/Fi...

For the period from 1906 to 2005, half of all the energy released by all recorded earthquakes came from just three events, one of which being the Alaskan quake.

Logarithmic scales are scary.

It is not moving goalposts, but a genuine question. I was surprised that there are buildings higher than 5 stories being constructed today in stone. However it looks very unaffordable for 99% of people (housing affordability like climate concern is also a social question). Plus I would hate to think how our planet would look if cities were made of stone instead of concrete (cities would look nice but the hills around them?).
I would be extremely surprised if pain was part of it, and think it best to try it without pain on the first go at the very least because "fuck unnecessary pain"

The ability to be both receiver and transmitter is a red herring.. every optical semiconductor can do that. The innovation here is the modulation speed. Higher speeds for your fiber cable.
One random idea:

Wordle clone tutorials are of course all over the web (just google make wordle clone and see the results), but what about a browser extension + Discord bot, that lets groups of friends compare their scores for the official Wordle, in Discord.

It would automatically post people's results to a Discord server - both the score, and a picture of the full guesses under a spoiler tag. And maybe during playing, the extension would show status like "if you solve it now, you'd be better than 50% of people in the server today". And post a weekly top 3 at the end of each week.

Something like it has probably been done before, but nowhere near as much as the examples I mentioned in my previous comment. Might be a bit too big at this cost though.

The word "diode" is linguistically built on the concept that it's a two-terminal device: "di" means two, "-ode" is the same as in "electrode", "anode", "cathode", ...

A three-terminal device is a triode. However, unlike diode, that term is used exclusively for the vaccuum ones: i.e. arrangements of an anode, cathode and grid. With diodes we have semiconductor diodes as well as vacuum (or thermionic) diodes.
that's the same link you submitted, is it not?
Yes, that is what I am saying. Cutting off arms sales to Israel will not prevent a supply blockade of Gaza or a Rafah invasion, both of which are issues that the US has publicly campaigned on --- we don't know what other red lines the US has set up, or how much worse this could yet become. Contrary to popular belief, it's not at all clear that Israel is dependent on the US militarily; we're a small part of their defense budget.

I think domestic politics are certainly a factor, but not a big one in an ICC case, because Americans, to a first approximation, do not give a shit about the ICC; further, we aren't a party to the ICC, so it's not as if the administration is being asked to do something or help adjudicate.

I want to say again that I think this particular case is well-founded. But an ICC warrant against the leader of a non-signatory is fundamentally a political act, and while I don't take issue with the stated intent of that act, I don't get the theory of change behind it.

I put it to you directly: what good comes of this while Netanyahu remains in power?
The KV cache is just another tensor to be used with matmuls. Unlike the model weights which are fixed, the KV cache is uniquely constructed for every input. Think of it as the model growing new weights to represent the new knowledge it learns about the user's input at inference time because not everything can be baked into the pretrained model.

You want to store your KV cache in the same processor that does the rest of your matmuls.
Every time I set up a new computer it's always shocking to me what the 100% zoom size looks like on websites. ALWAYS have to jam it up to 150%.
I noticed the shift and cancelled my subscription. It was one of the last magazines I read regularly. This coming from one of the most progressive people you'll ever meet!

But here's the thing - you have to deal with reality head-on. You have to have the courage to publish what the data shows, regardless of how it may be perceived. In fact, a primary function of a science journal is to challenge common perceptions as new evidence and data show them to be wrong.

The editorial shift at Scientific American told me they weren't going to continue doing any of that going forward - so there was no point in my continuing my subscription.

That's the thing, I have no idea what BuyNow is. I searched all throughout my code and it does not exist. On the github you can see other developers, with completely different projects seeing the same exact logs, as if something has been injected.

My code from today was the exact same as it was last week. So it seems like some package or dependency has been compromised perhaps?

Edit: And when I tried to search for it, I could not find a single post anywhere on the web about it.
ITER will have 10x more volume and 6.6x greater thermal efficiency (Q factor) than any previous reactor. It fires in 2025.

The reactor will use around 600mw of electricity to generated 500mw of heat, in 10 minute runs. Not break even by any means, but getting much closer than ever before.

ITER uses - I'm estimating - about 5 billion dollars of cryogenic superconductors - 10,000 tons of superconducting tape. These require let's guess an extra 3 billion dollars in cooling capacity and cryonics. Cooling these magnets costs around 150mw of energy, reducing reactor efficiency significantly.

We also use much bigger magnets than theoretically necessary, because cryogenic superconductors quench - instantly lose superconductivity - if they take too much power.

Now imagine we have some 10x cheaper room temp superconductor that is 10x to 100x harder to quench:

+ Magnet mass drops 10-100x (to 1000 tons or 100 tons)

+ Magnet cost drops 100x-1000x (to 50 million or 5 million)

+ Cryonics system is 1.5 billion cheaper

+ We cut the reactor's electricity budget by 150mw, to 450mw

Overall we saved over 6 billion dollars, thanks to a non-fusion innovation.

Keep in mind these numbers are guesses and wishful thinking. But it suggests that a miracle superconductor could push ITER like devices closer to break even, perhaps even achieving it.
Sure, but the problem is S and X sound very similar when spoken, causing more confusion. Try clarifying which one you are talking about in a loud room at a conference.

> Here's the thing about smartphones - you can make them as dumb as you want

Oh, how I wish that were true, but it isn't. I can certainly decide which capabilities are presented in the UI (for the most part), but the reason I want a dumbphone is to avoid the security problems smartphones have. If the advanced functionality is there, whether or not I see it, so are the additional security problems that come with it.

I want my phone to be, as much as possible, limited enough in terms of hardware (processing power, memory, etc.) so as to make it incapable of advanced functionality.

Personally, I want the ability to make and receive phone calls and texts, and the ability to tether. Everything else I can do on a separate pocket device that isn't on the cell network and that I can actually have complete control of.
I'm actually always amazed by the scale of YouTube and how performant the entire site seems. Even unpopular videos as old as 10 years ago load in an instant - and I imagine this is across all petabytes of videos.
yeah, the three times or so I've had a wart I've used the wart remover (some kind of weak acid) to remove a layer at a time over a few days and it worked well. Whenever the new layer was "sensitive" that would be it for the day and no plucking at it. Eventually you get to the "dead capillaries" that are usually present at the bottom of the wart, and after a couple more layers that would be it. It didn't take weeks though, it was a few days of attentions. I think next time I might do a few layers and then put the duct tape on it, and put a bandaid over that to hide the duct tape :)
This is why you should be careful eating raw fish.

I believe this is only the beginning of the modern OS with a user-interface that is based around AI. Imagine the platform lock-in from a lifetimes worth of meta-data around interactions with an AI agent, which obviously will not be transferable between vendors.

If by this you mean they're throwing a fit over Israel and Gaza, no, I don't think polling bears this out at all. Even within the context of the schools themselves, protesters are small minorities of the students and faculty. A large chunk of the media is throwing a fit, to be sure!

I think the best way to sum up public opinion from what we know given polling and on-the-ground numbers is that Americans just don't much care about this. We care. But as is so often the case, caring about this issue makes us the weird ones.

Okay, in that case, the victim (as sole witness) said that she recognized the defendant as the perpetuator. I am not a lawyer, but not sure if nowadays you could go to jail just because a victim (and sole witness) recognize you ? That seems rather slim evidence, and could be weaponized.

They've been selling ARM Surface devices for a while now. Not sure why these would suddenly fall over and stop working.

when the drama of Artemis started unfolding i remember thinking SpaceX ought to just go to the moon themselves. Iirc Falcon Heavy in a full thrust config already has the capability to get there they just need a lander and return. On the other hand, that effort doesn't get SpaceX closer to Mars and would be a pretty big distraction. Also, I imagine they want to play ball for funding purposes.
those corners do not exist, but people love yo create artificial needs to justify unneeded complexity

dotnet for me is the most obvious example of how terrible they are at branding. First there was .NET framework which was windows only (note I'm ignoring Xamarian because it was originally not owned by MS).

Then they decided to do a reboot with cross platform support and named that Dotnet Core. This was honestly fine. But then we reach late in the 3.x timeframe and they declare for real and for true that Framework is a dead end, and Dotnet Core will be the one true Dotnet moving forward. And to indicate this, the next version will remove Core from the name, skip 4 because it would be too confusing with Framework, and just call it Dotnet 5.

I wish they'd stuck with the Core name, if no other reason so if they decide in another 15 years to do a major rebuild again they can just come up with another new descriptor the way Core described the transition away from Framework and towards real cross platform support from MS itself.

My best guess, but purely speculative, is that the WAL file for the SQLite db used by PHPhotoLibrary (or some other part of PhotoKit) wasn't properly checkpointed—maybe it failed? Or an iCloud backup saved it prior to a checkpoint, and it hung around?—perhaps even from years ago before PhotoKit was introduced.

Whenever it happened, it left some unreachable but failed commits behind, leading to an inconsistency that was never overwritten by later checkpoints--maybe because they had some logic to just create a new WAL?

Then, some change in iOS 17.5 included changes to either SQLite itself or the PHPhotoLibrary framework schema used for photos, necessitating some migration to run which caught the earlier commits and, well, committed them. Whatever happened to the WAL was preserved via iCloud Backup. As a result, image files with seemingly orphaned references were never deleted from iCloud Backups because they were never marked for deletion.

This is my guess because (a) WAL was introduced in 2010 (the latest that photos reappeared) but nobody (that I've found) reported photos newer than 2016 reappearing, which is when a SQLite change to WAL handling fixed an issue where large writes in a single transaction could result in multiple duplicate pages being saved to the WAL, due to the checkpoint starving out when it couldn't get an exclusive read of the WAL itself.

All speculation, of course. But I have personally noticed the WAL for photos getting way too big in earlier iOS versions, so I suspect something around checkpointing is the root cause.
It's mostly right, but the problem lies in when the requests per second are not average. Even then most people just do some unscalable stuff on the cloud for minimum 10x the cost.

> equating a terrorist organization on the one hand with a democratic state with functioning judicial system and accountability for any crimes committed on the other hand by putting them in the same press release is pretty bad for the court

War crimes are war crimes, and these were committed in the same war. This is like complaining a corporation and an employee were charged in the same press release. They’re different, but not in the respect of the alleged crimes.

> why doesn't the ICC look into Egypt's conduct of refusing to allow civilians to flee from this conflict?

Refusing refugees isn’t a war crime and isn’t—to my knowledge—under the ICC’s jurisdiction.
I don't like this "but Hamas is worse" rethoric. War crimes are ware crimes, you're not allowed to commit them because the other side is worse than you.

This may be how things played out after the second world war, but it's a horrible standard to live by. If the ICC has any integrity, they won't take "but they started it" as an excuse.
Mines are commonly not in the most accessible space, so it's not unreasonable for them to continue to use fossil fuel backups for at least some time.

I honestly don't understand what the whole issue with web design is about (it's as far away as possible from my domain of expertise, so this is a statement of ignorance, not of arrogance).

A "motherfucking website" without any css nor js is perfectly readable and usable on all devices and browsers. Users can select their preferred font sizes, and even colors. It is just like an ebook, that is readable everywhere, and responsive with user-chosen display setups and settings. What is the problem, then? Some websites want to look "fancier", and then they specify styles in manner that is incompatible with some usage patterns? This is an entirely self-inflicted problem. The problem did not exist in the first place, they created it.

I have real trouble accepting that "web design" is not a bogus and fully useless human endeavour. I hope someone around here enlightens me to the contrary.

Hey, just picking this comment, to say thank you for DeviantArt. It was a major part of my teenage pre-teen and early teen years. It got me into a bit of art. While I am not an artist, I loved the community. I also at the time, being young and not caring about things like plagiarism, copied a large chunk of Scott's website design as my own for my own page, which I used for a long time. And yet, Scott never mentioned anything, even though I think he was the one that approved my invite to `neopages` where I moved it to.

Anyways, even though dA of the past is gone, it was definitely an important part to many people, so thanks again.
