I wonder if people will actually bother learning about the subject and history of a place before forming an opinion and posting online...

Hasidim don't care about anything related to this. They don't want to be in the army because they want to study Torah and because they could get away with it.

Israelis have a draft law. Many have died in Gaza, Lebanon etc. Everyone in Israel is related or knows someone related to someone who died recently in this conflict.

Finally, that stupidity of "skin in the game" is astounding to me. The more people die the longer the war takes because "they couldn't have died for nothing". It becomes more brutal too because we can't risk our children fighting over there.
Yes, and CRDT's can absolutely lose data. That's the point that should be delivered across when someone claims they can't. Nobody needs to be warned that if you save endless data then you could save all data.
Nice read. Love how it evoked the memories from the golden days where everything was exciting, new and fun :)

I consider "posted on YouTube" the same as "posted on the Internet". Youtube is basically a comm channel, they don't vet for accuracy nor do they claim to.

Look instead at the channel. Some channels make serious efforts to cite their sources and justify their claims; others do not. It's hard, but where you can, try to prefer the first.
It was a national shame of the type that undermined and destroyed the USSR, and Putin and his ilk have robbed Russia and covered up a deep social culture of theft and corruption.
You know, of course, that the invasion column sent to occupy Kiev stalled because tanker drivers sold the fuel and the army stalled. There are many other things we see on youtube/Telegram daily

{For specific details:

The compromised url is: https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.min.js
Behavior: The first time a user, who uses a phone, open a website through an ads ( google ads or facebook ) with this link, it will redirect user to a malicious website.
How it works:
The request send to https://cdn.polyfill.io/v2/polyfill.min.js needs to match the following format:
Request for the first time from a unique IP, with a unique User-Agent.
User-Agent match that of a phone, we used an iphone's user agent ( Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone14,2; U; CPU iPhone OS 14_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.1.50 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/15E148 Safari/602.1 ).
Referer from a reputable website that installed polyfill.
Accept /
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate, br, zstd
Delete all cookies

The request will return the original polyfill code, appended with a piece of malicious code. This code will make a run javascript from https://www.googie-anaiytics.com/ga.js , if the device is not a laptop.
You can reproduce this multiple time on the same machine by changing User agent gently, (ex: change Mozilla/5.0 to Mozilla/6.0). Sometimes the server will just timeout or return code without the injection, but it should work most of the time.

{malignant code as per comments https://github.com/alitonium}

The javascript on https://www.googie-anaiytics.com/ga.js will redirect users to a malicious website based on some condition. I cannot check this further due to the lack of time. The content of gooie is here https://pastebin.com/hAgtHd70 in case they delete it.

The code check for a number of conditions before running ( useragent, screen width, ...) to ensure it is a phone, the entry point is at the end:

bdtjfg||cnzfg||wolafg||mattoo||aanaly||ggmana||aplausix||statcct?setTimeout(check_tiaozhuan,-0x4*0x922+0x1ebd+0xd9b):check_tiaozhuan();

The code has some protection built-in, so if it is run on a non-suitable environment, it will attempt to relocate a lot of memory to freeze the current devices. It also re-translate all attribute name access with _0x42bcd7 .

At this point I think we can definitely conclude that the is a compromised CDN without having to further dig into the remaining obfuscated code.}

In my case, yes, since I was a young teenager.

Even before then I tried to learn as much as I could and gain as widespread experience so they wouldn't be so random any more.

Wow. China tech is operating on the same capitalist fundamentals as US. Interesting points:

- saying the quiet part out loud gets you fired
- everyone is expected to squeeze the maximum amount out of themselves and the proof is everything else about you dies

The social push back from the government is interesting & indistinguishable from the role here in the States.

The closing line is the key “our competitors are doing it, we don’t want to lose because we aren’t.”

This is the runaway train of capitalism, when people override the obvious because they assume their competitors are doing the same and probably more.

The whole game is run by fear.

It’s one of the reasons I’ve been drifting from the “short burst to a big win” model of startups.

It’s very, very clear that the tech companies who are new category leaders play the long game from Harry’s latest Twitter post.

https://x.com/HarryStebbings/status/1805376621811220863

That said, I’d echo that the people I see at the heart of successful startups have often subsumed almost all of life into work.
I think both groups have claims dating back thousands of years.

Serious question. How do you think this ends? Israel has a massively strong military. They're not going anywhere. Any hope of peace revolves around a two state solution or at least an autonomous region. The only way that will ever happen is with the good will of the Israeli people.

I don't see any good faith attempts at resolving this from the other side. I see terrorist attacks and bombings. Yeah. Tell us how that's working out for you as every building you own is leveled to dust.

Surely thoughts and prayers from abroad will solve it.

The problem is that we all have a lot of FUD (for good reasons). It's on AMD to solve that problem publically. They need to make it easier to understand what is supported so far and what's not.

For example, for bitandbytes (a common dependency in LLM world) there's a ROCm fork that the AMD maintainers are trying to merge in (https://github.com/TimDettmers/bitsandbytes/issues/107). Meanwhile an Intel employee merged a change that made a common device abstraction (presumably usable by AMD + Apple + Intel etc.).

There's a lot of that right now - super popular package that is CUDA-only is navigating how to make it work correctly with any other accelerator. We just need more information on what is supported.
That isn't true for the case of Israel. Almost half of the current government didn't serve in the required army duty. Some were rejected by the army for their extremist views which in the past would have also banned them from elected office.
No. iOS switched to squircles because their product designers use squircles[0]. If you extrude a rounded rectangle you get a shape that has harsh breaks in the highlights at the point where the rounded part meets the rectangle part. To smooth this off you need a curve where the tangents are smooth. This is also known as "C2 continuity", and you get that level of continuity by ensuring that the second derivative (acceleration) of the curve has no gaps between points.

Absolutely none of these properties matter for icons, of course.

[0] Or at least some curve with similar tangency properties.
I'm with reaperman and have some first-hand experience too.

When you're inside the gates of a chemical plant, the vapors may or may not be as toxic as on the neighboring property.

Whether or not the neighbor is residential or another chemical plant.

Depends on where you are.

And everything is supposed to be within OSHA limits, but many times there will be a concentrated location within the plant which is the source responsible for making the whole place barely pass the monitoring they do have. There can be upsets but also some routine or occasional releases which can add up.

If you really simplified, a new plant can be justified for the production of one particular chemical. When they build a plant all by itself way out in an otherwise undeveloped area, there may be a huge quantity of final product (sometimes 100% toxic) being handled that was not being done before, but the variety of chemicals in the vicinity will be very small compared to what you find among the neighbors when they build a plant within a chemical complex. Louisiana has some real bad chemical concentrations too.

For all the time you spend within the gate there, you really need to spend the rest of your time as far removed from those exact same toxins as you can reasonably do. I say any kind of toxin requires a detox period.

When I'm in downtown Houston it's like night & day, but it's still Houston. I think the pollution in central Houston is more from traffic. Spend a weekend twice as far away in the woods outside of Conroe or something, and when I get back it makes me want to change my indoor air purifiers.

Anyway, I came intentionally to work in the industrial environment and it was much rougher for miles around back in the late 1970's. Plus it was plain to see if you wanted to inhibit the proliferation of toxicity to unspoiled parts of the country, you would be better building within established complexes precisely because this is where total abatement is likely to be furthest out-of-reach forever. Besides, it's already been that way since before anybody living was even born.

Didn't Apple start out in California and witness the environmental disparity as it evolved?

From what I know you're not welcome to work with any kind of chemicals in California for decades now, much less research involving chemicals themselves. Not unless you're willing to settle for greatly reduced progress than you could make in so many other places.

It's got to be a dingbat move trying this in a California neighborhood.

Why not a neighborhood that arose (healthwise or not) because of its proximity to the plants?
He should not have spent all of this time being persecuted by the US government, but he should have been ostracized by the public long ago. I believe that if not for the prior, the latter would have occurred much more readily.

> A reporter worried that Assange would risk killing Afghans who had co-operated with American forces if he put US secrets online without taking the basic precaution of removing their names. "Well, they're informants," Assange replied. "So, if they get killed, they've got it coming to them. They deserve it." A silence fell on the table as the reporters realised that the man the gullible hailed as the pioneer of a new age of transparency was willing to hand death lists to psychopaths. They persuaded Assange to remove names before publishing the State Department Afghanistan cables. But Assange's disillusioned associates suggest that the failure to expose "informants" niggled in his mind.

Is it not the case that you can buy the theatrical release, but only used, and on VHS? Or was the theatrical release never actually put on tape and sold to the public?
The Chrome team is indeed building all their web UI (things like settings and bookmarks) with web components and... Material Web Components! Chrome OS is also building most or all of their built-in apps this way.

They are pretty put out by this decision, and will have to maintain Material components themselves, but the Material Design team doesn't prioritize Chrome as a customer - the VPs weren't graded on helping them for some reason.
> CUDA of 18 years ago is very different to CUDA of today.

I've been writing CUDA since 2008 and it doesn't seem that different to me. They even still use some of the same graphics in the user guide.
> Material Design is focusing on support for Google's large-scale internal Wiz framework, and has reassigned the engineers working on Material Web Components. This places MWC into maintenance mode.

This shows that even widely used open-source projects aren't immune to being abandoned by the companies.
I'm currently enjoying VS Code, but I wonder if it will face a similar fate.
There's a risk Microsoft could prioritize VisualStudio or move important features behind a paywall.
It may be one or two board members away from abusing their market power to push for full monetization of the product.
CUDA is a software moat. If you want to use any gpu other than nvidia, you need to double your engineering budget because theres no easy to bootstrap projects at any level. The hardware prices are meaninglesz if you need a 200k engineer, if they exist, just.to bootstrap a product.
I'm earnestly and honestly asking. Is there some good source material you can point me to that explains how this is in US citizens' interest? All I can find is hyperbolic nonsense that seems markedly similar to the kind of information that was available during the invasion of Iraq. I really would rather feel good about US/Western foreign policy.

There's a world of difference between an author revising their own work voluntarily, and their work being censored and amended without their consent. Any writer may review their work and find it wanting for any variety of reasons - but it remains the record of their creative vision. The most perfect expression of their ideas and deepest self. Even children's stories. The Forbes article you link to lists a variety of nonsensical changes that seem to have been made 'just because'. As a writer myself, I find the concept of 'sensitivity readers' condescending, troubling and downright dangerous.

To cite the article you've linked

Marc Rich was pardoned while a fugitive for much more serious crimes.
He was offered a plea deal seven years ago https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/assange-offered-pardon-if...

He refused it. Two years later, the Educadorian embassy kicked him out because they were tired of him smearing his shit all over the walls and assaulting female staff.

It's been extensively proven he was acting in collaboration with and in the interests of the russian government: https://www.vox.com/world/2017/1/6/14179240/wikileaks-russia...

"fake rape case"? Take a look at Assange's history of misogynistic comments both in public and in internal wikileaks chats: https://theintercept.com/2018/02/14/julian-assange-wikileaks...

...and him assaulting female Ecuadorian staff

...and tell me again how it's more plausible that both Swedish prosecutors and the Swedish criminal court system up to and including their supreme court conspired with the US to fake an entire case around Assange sexually assaulting two women. And then the UK government joined in that conspiracy. And then Ecuador joined in that conspiracy?

Or...and bear with me here for a second...he's a misogynistic asshole who has so little respect for women he treats them as sexual objects?
I'm not going to complain about them adding whatever features they want... so long as they implement first the things that people have been asking for years.

Side tabs, proper tab groups, they said these features are coming "this year". But how come it takes them longer to do these things over AI which no one really asked for.

Seriously, proper tab management can't be such a gargatuan task that they can't get it out of the way faster than AI implementations.
Leadership lacking vision + being almost bankrupt until relatively recently.
Another benefit is that debugging secret changes is a lot easier. We've had a couple of cases where someone changes the secret in a vault and that causes problems and no one can tell what changed between two deploys
> the AMD is typically cheaper and less power hungry than the equivalent Nvidia

cheaper is true, but less power hungry is absolutely not true, which is kind of my point.
Think of it not like proofs but like tests, i.e. it catches bad stuff.

Having static types is a low cost solution that catches a lot of possible bugs. Purity catches another bunch of bugs. No-nulls catches even more. At this point you can kinda start trusting function names and type signatures to do what they say on the box (often said about Haskell). Likewise, if it compiles, it probably does the right thing.

So where's the next gap in Haskell that lets bugs through? I'd argue that (eventual) termination would be that next step. If you say a function has type a->a (for all a), it only admits one possible implementation... except for bad ones, like 'undefined' or an infinite recursion - both of which termination would catch for you.
>Imo journalists should be allowed and should (honestly I don't know if they are or not, probably not) repost their stories on their own personal websites.

I get the sentiment, but how is this any different than saying a programmer should be able to keep code they wrote at a company? You don't own it.

The biggest issue with storing secrets in version control with the code is that past secrets are never relevant after they have been rotated. This makes rollbacks risky. Consider:

1. Create secret v1
2. Code v1
3. Deploy
4. Secret v2 (rotation)
5. Code v2
6. Deploy
7. Oops, need to roll back to v1 (from step 2)
8. Outage, because the secrets in step 2 are not the secrets from step 4
So you have to AGPL your product because of the database that it uses lol, hard pass.
I built a lo-fi device like this (with a LED matrix instead of a flipboard) and I didn't really find great software for building animations at a low pixel count.

"This, and the rest of it, has been explained to you countless times before."

Yes, that's how propaganda works. But in the face of new information, that propaganda has to be tweaked or abandoned. To keep hammering the same message produces quickly diminishing returns.
It’s trading blows because AMD sells their cards at lower margins in the midrange and Nvidia lets them.

That’s it pretty much the only thing of note I’ve encountered. But yes I just mean it may not be a perfect drop in replace in all existing scripts at this time for jq like tools for other formats since they will likely take a lot of care in having the encoder for their designated format working well. qq still has a few bugs to iron out and more testing to do.
Is your grandmother a bike every time the receiving side of a pipe terminates before the sending side, or only when it happens to interrupt a printf?
Not a direct answer to your question, but because I've been in the same situation many times (wanting to move away from tech and work more outdoors), I just wanted to point out that there are "in-between" desk jobs too, where you're not working for a FAANG but not necessarily working in a sweatshop sewing linens either.

Patagonia, REI, the Sierra Club, the Nature Conservancy, etc. all still need some digital expertise, whether for their storefront or internal operations. They will quite often recruit for dev or tech positions. Most of those aren't remote, but if you're near one of those areas (REI corporate is mostly near Seattle, Patagonia in Ventura), it might be worth considering? They mostly do not manufacture in the US either, but outsource that to various lower-cost countries. I think Outdoor Research is one of the limited exceptions who do some manufacturing domestically.

I don't think outdoor guides make much money. Many of my friends were kayaking/climbing/backpacking guides and it's kinda a thing you do in your 20s while you can live frugally and without major expenses or kids. They'd usually live in tents, company barracks, or their vans. It's also largely a seasonal job and you'd have to find your own way in the off seasons. A similar but slightly more stable job is working an interpretive ranger position for the Parks Service or a state park, but a lot of those are entry-level or seasonal too. People who want to stick around long term in those fields usually have to move into management/admin of some sort.

If you want to be outside a lot, the trades (construction) or project management (renewables development and planning, like for commercial wind or solar) or transportation (for states & municipalities) would all typically be more stable than outdoor recreation.

If you're willing to get more specialized education, you can also go the environmental consultancy route (with a bio/wildlife/GIS/etc. educational background), the kind of firm that other agencies and companies will outsource work to to evaluate environmental impacts, conduct endangered species analyses, or help with city planning and the like.
