The preliminary judgement doesn't attempt to solve the entire Israel Palestine conflict. That is a future judgement, perhaps. But, the core issue that the preliminary judgement seeks to solve is the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine. There is no ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Israel, only a political one.

As the International Court of Justice points out, ending this humanitarian catastrophe is the most urgent priority – even more urgent than Bibi's desire to keep it going for his own reasons.

Thus, when Israel stops exploding Palestinian civilian men, women and children, stops exploding aid workers, stops blocking and exploding aid, stops destroying hospitals and patients and homes and families, stops displacing millions of civilians and takes proper responsibility for their health (Israel claims Gaza and the West Bank as theirs, after all, making Palestinians their charge), _that_ will be a time to discuss the issue of the broader conflict. But first we must stop the ongoing slaughter of innocent civilian Palestinians.

tl;dr: the world ending genocide of Palestinians > Israeli political desires.
They could provide simple PCR tests to detect bird flu virus in milk. We produced trillions of those very recently. Those "warnings" are useless.
> The most important distinction between mask models is that some models have valves / vents and some do not.

The most important distinctions also include:

1) Fit. This matters a lot.

2) Nano versus electrostatic technology.

3) Filtration level. "N95" advertised isn't always 95% in reality, and some are 99+%.

4) Impedance to airflow

#4 is more than just comfort it determines how much air goes around the mask.

I immediately recall at least two big fuckups that the "one" (two different persons) didn't acknowledge, even if that meant to lose a good client, and I would guess bad mouthing.

Once I ate a small fuckup from one of my juniors (we put a wrong software version in a report), and instead of fixing it with the client by simply saying "we had a mistake, here is the fixed report", my superior only could think about "could we hide this, and keep the face that we are perfect?". Of course, this same person takes any mistake from other people as an opportunity to ask for discounts, compensations and freebies.
I'm very glad this finally becomes available. I immediately asked it to do what I wanted for almost a decade: generate 30 minutes of Bach Cello Suite No.1 in G Prelude[1] (I want to listen to it for hours but don't want a loop neither do I want the whole original - only the prelude, subtle variations are welcome). The result was 9 seconds of ear horror. Do I need better hardware to get a listenable result (I ran it on a Ryzen laptop)?

He does also point out that CSS Grid or html tables havent changed. The web still mostly works the same.

You are yet another perfect example of raw antagonism against the web, a body of hate. You are legion. But, if we look at the arguments here, look at where complexity dwells, the things that are hard and changing aren't the fundamentals, aren't the essentials. They are not so complex.

What is hard/changing is state management. What is hard/changing is handling state in client-server or other connected architectures. What is hard/changing is being smart about offloading work to threads. And it's not like anyone else has conquered this complexity. None of the other ecosystems are particularly far in advance. The complexity of these cases seems to be inherent, not accidental.

The reason for so much complexity is because we change & improve & progress. This makes some people very upset. People drastically over-ascribe the woes of the software development world to the web, when really it's just that the web is now the default place for making software & most companies would bungle up these concerns no matter what platform they were building atop.

The article doesn't mention AI at all, as far as I can tell. It's just the typical boilerplate screed about how the government is hiding aliens and flying saucer from everyone and they need to tell us. Same "Roswell! Roswell!" song and dance the UFO crowd has been doing for years.

But many people have been arguing that the most likely form of life to spread across the stars would be some form of AI for years, usually in the form of Von Neumann probes. That isn't deliberate, disingenuous obfuscation of anything, it's just speculation. Which is of course all anyone has, because this is all just folklore and grift.

I would like to have this to avoid the mold that seems to appear inevitably in indoor bathrooms.

I have gotten great use from various AI tools but don't be naive. The "ads" are invisibly embedded in the training data and get expressed in the subtleties of the model's output. When you control the model and there's no transparency around what's in it, you can do whatever you want with the training data. This is only the beginning.

Nobody who had to work with 6509's/7609's at an ISP is shedding a tear over this.

Someone (Richard Steenbergen?) once made a joke that we should take the last 6509/7609 and launch it into orbit to celebrate.

It's not that they weren't popular. At one point in the mid 2000's they appeared to make up about 1/3 of major internet routers (if you looked around a carrier hotel). This was due to their extremely low cost compared to actual high end routers. While they had serious limitations and were notoriously sensitive to "IOS roulette", somehow you could just make them work.

In general, up here the 3 relevant ISO certifications (around $45k to $80k each) that apply to e-record and diagnostic systems are required, or software cannot be legally purchased by the health authority. For many reasons, the e-record system software was written in partnership between a large telecom and Microsoft.

slicer.org has their detailed story why "3D Slicer is NOT FDA approved", and its unfortunate given the transient nature of volumetric imaging data formats.

My point was this area is a mine-field of regulation. Generally, the above rules trip the instant a doctor uses something to diagnose or communicate patient data. Notably, the same software is deployed across provinces and states... but will obviously have different certification requirements in each locale.

Some people seem to get really rude over the most mundane details. =3
Because "aliens" sounds ridiculous, but "non-human intelligence" sounds scientific and credible. In the same way "UFO" is now "UAP", it's just marketing.
My guess is advertising CPI is much higher for authenticated traffic, and crippling the anonymous experience is found to maximize authenticated traffic.

But now I'm speculating on why the developers of the site do what they do. In my previous comment, I was speculating on why users of the site do what they do. While the former obviously influences the latter, motives and goals are quite distinct for each.
I partially agree - I would say more specifically “those situations are the easiest to write good tests for”, ie having a predefined spec will strongly guide you towards writing good and useful tests.

“Testing that the code does what it does” is of course a terrible waste of both the time spent writing those tests, and of future time spent writing code under those tests. With skill and practice at writing tests, you make that mistake less often. Perhaps there’s a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy for game developers: due to industry convention, they’re unfamiliar with writing tests, they try writing tests, they end up with a superfluous-yet-restrictive test suite, thus proving the wisdom of the industry convention against testing.

I’ve been drinking raw milk for years.

A PCR test requires specialized equipment and trained personnel; it is typically conducted in a laboratory setting.
The fence is about all things that you might want to change, whether or not they're still useful. Both of the characters in Chesterton's parable are reformers, and the assumption is still that the goal should be reform. The question is more about the motivation for reform.

The first character wishes to remove the fence because they don't see a good reason for it. The second takes a different approach: first show that it isn't necessary, then remove it.

Plenty of things are made useless over time. But there are also lots of things that look useless but aren't. We don't know, a priori, which is which, hence the need to be cautious.

(That said, I think there are also cases where ignoring Chesterton, removing the fence, and seeing what will happen is the best option. It just requires good planning and good testing so that you can be confident that a bull doesn't suddenly appear out of nowhere!)
Heat pump dryers dry at a lower temperature, have auto-shutoff with sensors and no venting so are far better for your clothing and the room.

Isn't there also a real risk of catching tuberculosis via raw milk consumption as well? [1].

I know there are advocates of raw milk, and I have heard it tastes better than the stuff you get at the grocery store, but it always seemed like the real risks of getting an infections outweighed the benefits. This stuff isn't meant for humans, it's meant for baby cows, I don't know why people think that you can just drink it untreated without any risks.

There is scientific consensus that calls for tolerance and acceptance.

And there is research that so far shows null hypothesis and no biological evidence for predisposition to being a furry, tree lover, lesbian or gay. While simultaneously genes for left-handed people do readily show up.

There is statistic that shows introduction of materials that attempts to set identity at early age, including religious or gender identity is very effective.

Statistics about suicidal ideation snd depression actually doesn’t show any correlation to acceptance of transgender in society. And it is roughly 3x of not transgender and 10x after the surgery. And then there is rise in actual transgender youth, toughly 30x, from 0.3-0.5% to 10% over last 40 years. This can be roughly attributed to introduction and popularization of this topic in early education. Effects are similar to early religious education.

I’m very happy for increased acceptance, diversity and continued increase of younger dating pool for special interest groups. And that these special interests groups get what they want.

But statistics does show that in terms of depression, decreased happiness and suicides it is not the greatest idea to dislodge biological gender. You simply can get 10% of population worse off out of this. If you add to that parents that are unhappy with this turn of events, this gets to 20-30%. And then suddenly you have democracy at stake, because nationalists figured out that this is a good angle…
Congratulations, you've just invented a bank.
How did you get EAC working exactly? I tried to use it on numerous occasions and each time it would randomly freeze or repeatedly show a dialog box (I forget what it was now, something about tips maybe) until I closed the software. Even while I did nothing the boxes kept appearing. This would cause it to overlay itself endlessly in a loop.
> None of us believe anything the cdc says because they have always said “don’t drink raw milk” and all of the Amish and others are the healthiest people you’ll ever meet

I don't think that logic makes any sense. The "ones you meet" are the ones who didn't die. You're not meeting the dead ones. Selection bias and such. If you have statistics that Amish people have fewer deaths or something, that would be better evidence.
Not as irrelevant as it might seem. They do run their own indexers now, but my understanding is that they didn't actually build the index that way. They used the Brave browser traffic to guide which pages to index, which was primarily driven by the Google/Bing search results the browser was vending at that time. it's more of an embrace-extend strategy than a build-from-scratch
I’m a bit allergic to questions that begin “Why not just …”. With those three words, I can usually already tell what’s coming before they tell me their idea, not because the suggestion is crazy complex but because almost invariably it’s the first thing that popped into the person’s head, because it’s the most obvious thing one could do, and has already been carefully considered or already tried. The question itself isn’t bad, it’s the underlying assumptions that makes it irritating and/or insulting, the assumptions that 1) their idea is so easy, and 2) you didn’t think of this obvious & easy idea.

And when I’m on the other end of this asking someone else why they didn’t do it in some way that looks obvious to me, I try hard to avoid “why not just”. Sometimes I will ask “I assume you didn’t X for some reason?” But maybe the best is to ask why nicely without making any suggestions.

When the question comes because they were lacking context, this can sometimes be headed off at the pass by announcing why the most obvious things didn’t work before explaining what you did do, or by highlighting the confounding requirements or problematic inputs. If the question comes from already-committed code, the goal would be to have commit or MR code comments that prevent post-facto second-guessing. Sometimes it’s useful to accept the question without retort and just answer it directly, by explaining that their idea was tried and didn’t work, and what the reasons are, and ask if they’d like to share any other ideas, earnestly not sarcastically. :P

If the suggestion really was something I didn’t think of and seems like it might solve a problem, which might be rare but does happen to me on occasion, then I do like to tell them it’s a good idea and recruit them to help me implement it. In that case, pushing back on their assumptions or tone is tempting to me, but I will try to let it roll off and just take the feedback and be momentarily embarrassed.
It wasn't a pivot. Anti-vax belief was never as mainstream a position amongst the left as it is now among the right, it was generally condemned as new-age nonsense, particularly where the "vaccines cause autism" crowd was concerned. The left has always been the pro-science, pro-government side in general, which is why the right condemns them as "godless atheists" and "communists," because the right tends to put more weight on religion, spirituality and suspicion of secular power as part of its narrative of preserving traditional (read:religious) morality against a conspiracy of evil seeking to undermine them.

People (not all of whom were leftist) followed pandemic protocols because most people are not conspiracy theorists and they considered doing so to be perfectly reasonable in the context of a pandemic. For most people, there was no political angle to wearing masks, social distancing, quarantines or what have you, it was just the Trumpists who made it so.
I also live in Japan. Here people bathe in the evening, while I'm finding it hard to shake my habit of taking a morning shower (spend the whole day dirty? ick).

This means if it's raining, we'll have clothes drying in the bathroom, which I'll then need to move out to take a shower. Whether it makes sense to then put them back in to the now wet bathroom with the dryer running I'm not sure.
Copilot+ specs specify an NPU that does 40 TOPS; 40 (int8 integer) TOPS, but not watts?

Weirdly, on [0] it says the following:

"We do not provide medallion signature guarantees for assets you're transferring out of a Bank of America or Merrill account (guarantees are typically provided by a third party not involved in the transfer or by the firm receiving the assets)."

This seems to differ from the article and seems to be a way to make it harder to withdraw assets (why would a third party provide a medallion to insure someone else's assets?)
Okay before going to physical. First - would you agree that it would be able to clone itself so the only way to shut it down even if it was caught, was if Internet throughout the whole World was shut down? And would you think it was possible for all the countries in the World to agree to do that at the same time?

And would you agree that before Internet was shut down it would be able to gather quite a bit of financial resources, hack individuals, organizations, blackmail some individuals to do prepwork for it and do other forms of social engineering at that time to prepare for the physical step?

Since we first need to agree on what potential resources it will have at its hand the moment it decides to go physical.

Couple of stories about 'bad code':

I've often worked solo, but have been on teams where I've written code that was... not great. Worked, but... suboptimal. Various reasons, but it is what it is. To remedy that, I would try to refactor old stuff in conjunction with new work. That was often rejected. So... I'd take to documenting needed refactorings/fixes in tickets. Those would rarely ever get attention - generally deprioritized or ignored. This led to - for me - constant low-level frustration. When working solo, I can prioritize what I need to; in teams... you can't ever make a suboptimal decision because it will live forever. Or until a 'system is down' moment. Those would lead to "post mortems", in which I would point to tickets requesting to fix ticking time bombs months earlier, explain they were ignored by leadership, and... that came across as 'blaming' or 'antagonistic'. The 'fix' is to just never write suboptimal code, which leads to more frustration and anxiety when writing.

Secondly, in 2017, I got a call to fix something I'd written in ... 2003/2004. That code was still in production (with minor patches by others along the way). It's quite humbling to have to review broken code and corners cut, and realize that you were the one responsible for it (and no one else). That (and a few other incidents) have given me a big change in perspective on writing maintainable code (and documentation, etc).
To add on to this: I think they are mostly intended as an "emergency backup" for people who usually hang dry their clothes outside to use when it's raining, etc. If you're not using it as your primary drying method maybe it's not so bad? Having more than one shower probably helps too. Unfortunately I am not blessed with such a large space, and my balcony is pitifully small :)

It's odd. How did search engines trick us into thinking that our home page should be a search engine? The only reason I add "reddit" to searches is because a search engine is my entrypoint on my browser. Even then though, I find that Google tends to pin a particular threads. The most humorous ones are when it pins to a thread with "this has been asked already a zillion times" with no actual meaningful content in the particular thread.

Google search was never really good at finding meaningful opinions in the first place. Facts? Reference? Pretty good. Meaningful tradeoff analysis of non-academic subjects? Product rankings and reviews? Opinions? Really poor.

It's odd that Google decided to cannibalize the things it was good at. Finding recipes, for example, is terrible through Google because of the emphasis on SEO at the expense of user experience. AI search results are simply Google opting to make itself less relevant.
It's actually kind of a myth that progressives used to be the primary "anti vax" crowd [1]. I definitely did meet progressives who thought vaccines were dangerous, but I met many more conservatives that were "skeptical" of vaccines way before COVID.
