> How far will the US and/or Israel go to threaten or discredit the ICC leadership?

If warrants are issued, I’d bet at least the House votes to sanction the ICC [1]. If Trump wins, I’d bet it passes. (Which is ironic, since every moment of attention on Israel and Palestine is a win for Trump. This war is Biden’s abortion debate. He’s checkmated, with massive vote losses regardless of what he does.)

>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.

It's obvious to all that the warrants for the Hamas leaders only exist in order to justify the warrants against Netanyahu and co.
Sure they could have taken her to court but right now they don't want the bad publicity, especially since it would put everything else in the shadow of such a scandalous "story". Better to just back off, let S.J. win and move on and start planning on they're gonna spend all that paper money they got with announcement of a new, more advanced model.

It isn't murky, because law is about intent more than result. It doesn't matter if they hired someone who sounds like Scarlett, it matters if they intended to do so.

If they accidentally hired someone who sounds identical, that's not illegal. But if they intended to, even if it is a pretty poor imitation, it would be illegal because the intent to do it was there.

A court of law would be looking for things like emails about what sort of actress they were looking for, how they described that requirement, how they evaluated the candidate and selected her, and of course, how the CEO announced it alongside a movie title Scarlett starred in.
In this case it fits, your proposed revision may be somewhat premature as of yet. But give him time...

It's a victory for militant Islam that didn't need to happen. KSA, UAE, Oman, and Turkey could have been great examples of Muslim countries with high standards of living that engaged in the international diplomatic process, as opposed to the pariah states of Iran and the wartorn Yemen and Syria. Since the decline of ISIL Islamists have achieved little save the Taliban taking Baghdad in Afghanistan. But with this new round of aggression in Palestine, Islamist movements once more have a grievance to look at.
Escape analysis is a well-established term of art:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_analysis

"In compiler optimization, escape analysis is a method for determining the dynamic scope of pointers..."

In the case of global bindings, there is nothing to analyze. Global bindings do not have dynamic scope, they have global scope. (Duh.)

> This is quite clearly possible.

OK, you believe what you want. But I'll bet you $100 that you can't even write a program that reliably determines whether or not a list is a valid Bel function, let alone one that does "escape analysis" on an entire Bel code base (whatever you think that might actually mean).

I think so but that could just be me.
Note how your parent comment has specified "rational" 1 and "integer" 1. They use the symbol 1 for two similar concepts: We all "know" that 1 + 1 = 2 and 1.0 + 1.0 = 2.0. I have deliberately specified 1 for an int and 1.0 for a rational. Now we have two different representations for two very similar but not identical concepts.

At which point does 1 + a tiny amount cease to be an integer? By definition that tiny amount can have any magnitude and 1 plus anything will cease to be an integer. That is the property that defines an integer. Integers have subsequent "behaviours" that other types of numbers might lack.

You have picked zero/0. Now that is a sodding complicated concept 8) There are lots of things called zero but no more nor less than any other.

Zero might be defined by: 1 - 1 = 0. I have £1 in my bank account and I pay out £1 for a very small flower, my bank balance is now £0. Lovely model, all good except that interest calcs intervened and I actually have a balance of £0.00031. Blast. My pretty integer has morphed into a bloody complicated ... well is it a rational thingie or a ... what is it?

Now I want to withdraw my balance. I put a shiny £1 in, bought something and I have some change. What on earth does a 0.031p coin look like? Obviously, it doesn't exist. My lovely integer account has gone rational.

Symbols mean what we agree on with some carefully and well chosen language. Mathematicians seem to think they are the ultimate aces at using spoken and written language to make formal definitions, derivations and so on. That is a bit unfair, obviously. We all believe that what we think is communicable in some way. Perhaps it is but I suspect that it isn't always.

Have a jolly good think about what zero, nothing, 0 and so on really mean. Concepts and their description to others is a really hard problem, that some funky symbols sort of helps with.

Yes there are loads of things called zero. If I had to guess: infinitely things are zero! Which infinity I could not say.
only when they can get a bigger fix from something else.

it takes more than money to fuel these types, and they would have far better minders and bumpers if the downside outweighed the upside. they aren’t stupid, just addicted.

musk was addict smart, owned up to his proclivities and bought the cartel.
And they could have totally get away with it by never mentioning the name of Scarlett. But of course, that is not what they wanted.

Edit: to clarify, since it is not exactly identical voice, or even not that close, they can plausibly deny it, and we never new what their intention was.

But in this case, they have clearly created the voice to represent Scarlett's voice to demonstrate the capabilities of their product in order to get marketing power.
At Google we had a conversion chart between things like memory / cpu and SWE hours, so if you had an idea that would save 8TB of RAM and take 4 hours to do it, you could decide if it would be worth your time or not.
There are big places in a lot of places :) My point is if your tests were harder the distribution bell would not be as 'inflated' and you would not have as many people in the high 90th percentile. Allowing you to still use those scores alone without all the performative arms race.

I was just replying to the lazy untrue grandparent comment about this being a single study. I'm glad I don't need to do your research for you.

As for the discussion, there are multiple lines of evidence pointing to the fact that sunlight does in fact reduce mortality. First, this study controls for exercise, and also found that use of tanning beds reduces all cause mortality, so overall it's a pretty good study. We also know that vitamin D status is negatively correlated with mortality. We also know that nitric oxide reduces blood pressure, and is released from the skin by sunlight.
You sure seem very eager to taste Putin's boot.
I don't see evidence of any lines drawn
So.. it's sort of a battle over territory between build system and package manager.

Bazel is there becoming ever more complex and unwieldy in an attempt to provide supposed reproducibility - taking control of the provision of ever more of a project's dependencies (in often very janky ways). But to Nix people it's clear that what people are actually doing here is slowly building a linux/software distribution around their project, but in a very ad-hoc and unmaintainable way. And bazel projects will continue to grow in that direction because until you have control of the whole dependency stack (down to the kernel), you're going to struggle to get robust reproducibility.

I don't think many Nix people would suggest actually using Nix as the build system, but probably to use a comparatively simple cmake/meson/whatever build-system and use Nix to provide dependencies for it in a reproducible and manageable way.

> It's hard to see what sort of evidence will be accepted by the court.

There's quite a history of ICC cases (and they build on a history of ad hoc tribunals like those for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia.)

The kinds of evidence that are acceptable are... not particularly mysterious.

> Hamas claims every single person killed is a civilian (and their combatants fight in civilian clothes) while Israel claims it's targeting combatants.

Yeah, if the ICC operated on the level of these kinds of claims it wouldn't take months of evidence gathering before referrals to get to warrants.

> What sort of Israel do you think Israel can present that will clearly support its case and will be accepted?

Once there are actual charges with specifics (right now, we just have the names of crimes for which warrants are being sought, not the specific charges) the kinds of evidence that would tend to disprove the specific charges against specific individuals will be more clear.
Here's her full statement if you don't want to read the twitter thread:

"Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman, who wanted to hire me to voice the current ChatGPT 4.0 system. He told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and Al. He said he felt that my voice would be comforting to people.

After much consideration and for personal reasons, declined the offer.

Nine months later, my friends, family and the general public all noted how much the newest system named "Sky" sounded like me.

When I heard the released demo, I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference. Mr. Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word "her" - a reference to the film in which | voiced a chat system, Samantha, who forms an intimate relationship with a human.

Two days before the ChatGPT 4.0 demo was released, Mr. Altman contacted my agent, asking me to reconsider. Before we could connect, the system was out there.

As a result of their actions, I was forced to hire legal counsel, who wrote two letters to Mr. Altman and OpenAl, setting out what they had done and asking them to detail the exact process by which they created the "Sky" voice. Consequently, OpenAl reluctantly agreed to take down the "Sky" voice.

In a time when we are all grappling with deepfakes and the protection of our own likeness, our own work, our own identities, I believe these are questions that deserve absolute clarity. I look forward to resolution in the form of transparency and the passage of appropriate legislation to help ensure that individual rights are protected.”
I didn't say all minorities. But yes, in other contexts elite people may face other biases (eg jealousy, which could even apply if the hiring tech folks feel threatened).

Almost as if they knew that they cloned her voice without her permission.

Why? Because everyone (including OpenAI) knows it clearly isn't fair-use even after pulling the voice.

I remember AIX doing that when you entered an upper-case login. Probably still does.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.1?topic=s-stty-command#stt...

xcase Echoes uppercase characters on input, and displays uppercase characters on output with a preceding \ (backslash).

iuclc Maps uppercase alphabetic characters to lowercase.

olcuc Maps lowercase alphabetic characters to uppercase on output.

Solaris (Illumos) source code is consistent with this.

So for an upper-case only keyboard, uppercase letters are lowercase. To type an uppercase letter, precede it with a \. The tty layer handles the conversion so programs don't know or care what you're actually typing -- they just read (and write) normal upper and lower case characters.
By combing these warrants into a single press release they've completely lost any legitimacy.

There were no "screws needed" to issue an arrest warrant against Hamas months ago. Yet they didn't.

They should have issued arrest warrants years ago against Hamas for deliberately firing into civilian territory. It's an easy case to make, no one at all claims Hamas didn't do that.

But, nope, they did not issue any warrant.

No, they only issued a warrant against Hamas to pretend like they have some balance in trying to issue a warrant against Netanyahu.

It's no longer Netanyahu on trial, it's actually now ICC that is on trial. If the ICC actually grants the warrant against Netanyahu they have proven themselves to be a bunch of clowns with no legitimacy.

We shall see.
And he's on the US national security advisory board for AI safety. WTF.
