This is a pretty bad take. Many countries weigh population of voting regions. The idea is that the people in a smaller region with its own needs doesn't get its priorities relegated to oblivion just because no the same people live there than in a big city.

Not weighing votes by population alienates the rural voters.
Closing hospitals would cut deaths in hospitals by 100%.

Like I'm not sure what this measure means, it's not like 26% of people that would die in the hospital would be made immortal or something.

I agree. I was at a company where some DS was really excited about Papermill, and I was trying to explain that this is an excellent time to stop working in a notebook and start writing reusable code.

I was aghast to learn that this person had never written non-notebook based code.

Code notebooks are great as notebooks, but should in no way replace libraries and well structured Python projects. Papermill to me is a huge anti-pattern and a sign that your team is using notebooks wrong.
The downvotes here are silly.

Glass containers are conceptually great. Many of the actual designs are quite bad. Little glass chips in the drawer are not at all rare.

Maybe someone should try to design a dishwasher safe container that is silicone on the outside and glass on the inside. Silicon compounds can adhere covalently to glass, so this should be possible.
That last paragraph is disingenuous at best because there is a miles-wide valley of options between setting off explosives in peoples' pockets and surrender.
> From conversations I've had with users, when you have internal voice that you can't make stop without the use of drugs then you look for anything.

I present to you the definition of sane:
1. : proceeding from a sound mind : rational.
2. : mentally sound. especially : able to anticipate and appraise the effect of one's actions.

Being over-dramatic about it doesn't change the fact that the person doing the self-harm is not in their best condition. Yes, I have been there with alcohol and drugs abuse, I have lost friends and family members too. Treating them as people capable of deciding with their best interest in mind definitely didn't help me help them.
Oh I see. Is that not how it works already?

Apologies if I’ve completely misunderstood your comments
>3) There has never been, in the history of all warfare, such a surgically precise attack with such a low casualty rate of the civilian population

How do you know this ?

That sounds like a canned talking point. Up there with "Most moral army ever".

If there is a pressure to have Israel de-escalate, this must be it.

Zero accountability, forever. This is as grim as it gets.
With such a false positive rate, I expect the staff on site to find ways to negate the effect pretty quickly.
For me it’s large I’m not a small guy and the grip on the m4 is just big in my hands, then manipulating the safety is tough. At least the Turkish clones are cheap!

> Or you could fly a $300-500 non-expendable but not-end-of-the-world-if-hit drone trailing a target on a long tether, with no-shoot above a certain angle to keep the drones themselves mostly safe?

I had considered that. I’ll try hanging something off an avata2 but my concern will definitely be that I’ll need some rigid structure to land and take off. If the line is too close I think I could suck it up into the props
Starving the beast is an ongoing program, the budget will be cut (or fixed, hence silently cut through inflation) either way. My hope is that improvements like this will stave off the harmful effects of the budget cuts.
That's a good question- I think he signed a consent form that would have allowed additional research on his donations. TBH my dad was suprised but pleased by the outcome.

These sorts of attacks are going to hurt a lot of innocent people. How do they control the munitions and ensure they limit civilian casualties? (I suspect they do not.)

It also seems to be lionized in the media as something "impressive" and not "contemptible". I'm not saying it cannot be both! It could be contemptible and impressive, but the media seems comfortable just being impressed.

If North Korea or Iran or Russia pulled this off against another military, would we all still be here discussing only the technical parts of the attack? I suspect not. Maybe I'm wrong, but I suspect there'd be a lot more condemnation.
De-escalation wouldn't solve the problem of an Islamic militia with the declared goal of destroying Israel and the military capabilities somewhere in the world top-20 armies sitting right on Israel's northern border. As far as Israel is concerned, Hezbollah needs to be removed and pushed back away. If this doesn't register with common sense alone, then this view is also backed by UN security council resolution 1701.

We can argue who killed more or was more justified to do it, but that isn't progress. The latest issue is the attack on Israel. There is no equivalence and no justification for that.

To be ultra targeted you actually have to know where your target is when your bomb goes off. When you detonate thousands at once, you're simply accepting the civilian casualty risk.
I am tired of people redefining AI to exclude fully viable and useful technologies in favour of the latest hype. AI should be a functional concept, not defined by technological choices.
Wow, they lowered them again?

A while back I thought maybe, just maybe, if everything went in my favor, I could qualify at 3:10. Then they lowered it to 3:05, and that might as well be the far side of the moon.

According to TFA it's now 2:55. There is no way in the universe I would ever run a sub-3 marathon. (I'm no longer in that age bracket, but the time for my bracket is similarly impossible.)

That's fine with me. It's awesome that so many people are running marathons that the most prestigious one is utterly full. It's a really absurd hobby, and the best thing about race day is all of those people going "Wow, we're about to do something incredibly stupid together."

There are plenty of other fun marathons to do. This year mine is gonna be the Dramathon -- which will end with bottles of scotch.
We want clean, healthy and attractive teeth and mouths to stare at.
Rather than the e.g. inter-dental mouth that triggers disgust even if realistic. Use the attractive models in the video if they have healthy teeth ideally.
I’ve lived in a few countries. My take is:

An oligarchy where leaders frequently change based mostly on merit, with a social ladder accessible to anyone, is as close as you get to social harmony. As long as everyone has a shot, society is generally happy. (Note that a functioning economy is also needed for this.)

Democracy is mostly a safeguard to kick out the Napoleons before it’s too late.

Also, if you have strong local politics (like in the US, UK, or Australia), you might see more impact from your vote, as opposed to countries where you vote for a party and they pretty much do what they want for their term.
You absolutely do not need to hand it to them.
I agree. It's not like youtube users really needed this. I wonder how long until they make youtube completely unusable.
Oh, absolutely. It's just that, if they grant yours first, and you also intentionally write it with overreach, then even if the PTO also grants theirs, the courts will find for you because yours has priority.

That's the theory. In practice it tilts the odds in your favor, but is not an absolute safety net.
There are ways to fix this, from waste disposal fees to dinnerware subscription services[1].

Ha. You know at well as anyone the global breakout for the flu would have lasted two days.
I've had a great experience using Rubbermaid Brilliance, and every other Rubbermaid product I've purchased has been of exceptional quality for the price paid.

Some of my less thrifty friends have raved about the quality of Caraway containers.

Having seen and held both, Caraway is nice due to the lack of 'moving parts' and will likely last longer than my Rubbermaid, but at 4x the cost I couldn't justify the purchase.

Important to note, because I made this mistake and upset my wife in the process: THE LIDS ARE NOT MICROWAVE SAFE! This holds true across three different brands of glass storage containers I've seen.
Go hype! These are exciting times.

As long as humans interact with each other, there will be culture. It cannot die unless humans also die.

The question isn't "is culture dying", it's "is culture changing". The answer to that is, as always, "yes". Culture is constantly changing.
No, this paragraph explains that "this attack killed innocent" is not a good argument if you want to prove that this was a war crime or an act of terror. If you want to prove something like this, your argument should be "this attack targeted innocents", "reasonable precautions to minimise damage to innocents were not taken", or "the military significance of target is insignificant compared to damage to innocents".

I don't see any of these arguments.
Plenty of people use k8s or k3s for self hosting. But for most, the added complexity doesn't buy enough for the trade-off to be worth it. Keep in mind most people have a single node, so docker does everything they need.

Personally, even with a 4 node setup (of tiny desktops; the hardware you have would easily cost me $200/mo in power bills), I use docker swarm. Old and unloved, but does everything I need for multi node deployment and orchestration with only a sliver more complexity than vanilla docker.
Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel more or less continuously since October 7, and Israel has been firing back. I believe both countries have had to evacuate border areas, something like 100,000 Israelis living hear Lebanon are internally displaced.

In short, there's a war on. Neither side wants a full blown war but Israel doesn't want to let Hezbollah muster a larger assault, so they're doing what they can to cripple Hezbollah and disrupt their operations.

De-escalation is a goal that takes cooperation from both parties (or in this case, from Israel and the various Iranian proxies attacking them). Telling one party to "de-escalate" while the other party continues attacking is just farting in the wind.
And it's about "answers to 1,779 survey questions asked between 1981 and 2002."
I agree with your sentiment. There's so many non-JS/TS frontend webapp frameworks (using either Kotlin, Go, Python, etc. - not even talking about the WASM ones) - but they all come to a halt once they actually need to use those frameworks besides writing a simple blog site, HN reader, etc.
I agree. That's a much more compelling use of statistics than the shitty neural nets and whatnot we are usually served in healthcare.
What you're saying is true. Israeli citizens have had enough and demand a military solution. The fighting doctrine of Israel's adversaries is attacking and then running for the cover of the international community, but post October 7th that doesn't really work anymore with Israel.
They used the phrase pull request, which means GitHub, because git does not have a concept of "pull request".
It is. Unfortunately.
Since we're bringing other conflicts into this... How come Ukraine is able to put in every effort to avoid civilian death when their opponent deliberately uses cruise and ballistic missiles on residential areas?
Well, I'm in awe to be perfectly honest with you.

It's like something in a James Bond movie, or a cheesy riff on the genre like Kingsman.

You might not want to acknowledge it, but this is definitely a new era of warfare, and one that hopefully has benefits for everyone - reducing the reliance on global supply chains that harm the environment because labour is cheaper elsewhere. (it's a very thin silver lining, let me have it).
This journal article has been thoroughly debunked three separate times. TLDR if you dig into the data, the middle class agree with the rich most of the time and in the small cases where they disagree, it’s a wash between who gets their way. So yes they have outsized influence, but no the US does not appear to be an oligarchy. More here: https://www.vox.com/2016/5/9/11502464/gilens-page-oligarchy-...
It’s not the same illness, every website has different tracking. The analogy wasn’t perfect, but they seldom are.
Israel has been pressing the escalation as hard as they can. They've had people in positions of power saying it's literally ok to rape Palestinians in prison.

There's zero interest in de escalation there.
I learned on Z80. It's also relatively simple (and a lot of fun).
Why the hype for hybrid cars won't last
I don't think he's going to be that successful on that front considering his background. The base of the Republican party is still very anti-Semitic except for matters pertaining to Israel, and even then for their own objectives. Can't count how many times I've heard of Jewish conspiracy theories from rank-and-file Repubs.

Plus, the Repubs already have their own social media vagabond, and he's not one of "them".
>My understanding is that they were extremely well concealed

Source? I'm not sure how you can concealed any meaningful amount of PCB/explosive in a pager/radio, unless you're hoping that your target never opens the plastic casing, or doesn't know what the internals are supposed to look like.

If you actually read the article, they weren't doing anything illegal... that's why IJ is giving them legal representation. The government would have a harder time seizing stablecoins because they couldn't say "well a K9 indicated there was drug residue on the bills" or whatever.
I see a lot of comments here that seem to imply there is knowledge that victims were exclusively members of Hezbollah.
Not so. Apple's new mobile processors are routinely the fastest processors in the world (single threaded) when they come out. The A17 pro is currently the 17th fastest CPU, and the M3 (which is in MacBook airs and iPads) is number 2.

Sure these don't have the scope or number of transistors of like an NVIDIA Blackwell or something but in terms of performance/watt these are ultra high-end ICs.
Is that an indictment of the book or of economic orthodoxy?
Interesting, we haven't had any issues with the plastic containers warping in the dishwasher, and I'm firmly of the opinion that we only have things that can go in the dishwasher. However, we only put them on the top (glasses) rack, with the rare exception.

As far as discoloration, that seems to largely be an issue caused by using the storage containers in the microwave, 3-4 years ago we stopped doing that to reduce the chemical leaching from plastic into food (which seems to be much higher at higher temps).

Agreed that some people will have no issue with breakage, but in our family that was a serious problem. We probably broke half the containers in 2 years, and as I understand it, broken glass isn't recyclable. So, I guess the plus is that it's a more stable chemical compound in the landfill, but it's still going to the landfill. So it becomes a question of: Glass in landfill or plastic that we can reuse longer.
Why would civilians have in their possession tactical communication devices of a military organization?
That's the best explanation I've read so far, thanks for taking the time to explain.

> From conversations I've had with users, when you have internal voice that you can't make stop without the use of drugs then you look for anything.

Coming from a South american country I have to disagree. Cocaine is terrible (especially when is filthy cheap) and crack is even worse, because it costs like 1 dollar. Crackheads steal anything they can for crack and after smoking they terrorize the population like walking dead zombies, soon looking for more money, any money or anything that can be exchanged for more crack.
The college vote has little to do with population. It might have started that way, but it seems to be more about artificially inflating one side of the vote these days. (To be fair, redistricting has been abused for this effect as well, although on a smaller scale.)

It makes it so it is possible to lose every popular vote, yet still win the election "by a landslide."

What other countries are doing this? I can't think of any.
But what about the microcode inside the CPU?
I did. Eventually I managed to get an article, but by then it was generic enough to not be particularly useful.
It's the same tradeoff of turning an excel spreadsheet into a proper program.

If you do so, you gain:

* the rigor of the SDLC

* reusability by other developers

* more flexible deployment

But you lose the ability for a non-programmer to make significant changes. Every change needs to go through the programmer now.

That is fine if the code is worth it, but not every bit of code is.
You can't take Lebanon's report on who the injured were at face value. I've not doubt that innocent people were injured by this, but it's not _thousands_ of innocent people.
Or...just go through their customer list and revoke the registration of any vehicles that were modified. Customers can then pay for having vehicle inspected at the DMV.
100% this. DRM is a crime. You bought the book you should own it.
Israel's bombing of Gaza made them look like a terrorist organization. I believe the majority of deaths and a significant fraction of injured in this attack are in fact Hezbollah members.
THis was a good article, pointing out many differences in Swiss vs US society that are factors explaining why both countries have similar gun ownership rates yet the US has more gun violence.

In the conclusion, it states that "reducing gun violence in the U.S. will require addressing not only the availability of firearms but also the cultural and societal factors that contribute to the high rates of gun-related deaths."

The article spends a lot of time explaining the factors contributing to gun violence that have nothing to do with the rate of gun ownership, then advocates to reduce gun availability. If the gun control folks spent more time pointing out and trying to fix those other factors, gun availability wouldn't be so much of a problem. But as usual, fixing those other factors is hard, whereas outlawing gun ownership is easy (but won't work), so they go for the easier route rather than the better route.
At this point someone needs to run an SDR and start capturing as much RF spectrum as possible, especially on any communications device that has a 'selective calling' feature.

The pagers could have been set off with a page sent to a 'group' capcode in a hidden slot with a unique beep pattern that a little tiny MCU picked up and set off the detonator.

Radios -- same thing. Possibly a group calling feature of a signalling system was used with a "secret" group hidden away in the radio programming?
Security there seems pretty hands off
Upvoted for "nontent" alone: it'll be my go-to term from now on, and I hope it catches on.

Is it of your own coinage? When the AI sifts through the digital wreckage of the brief human empire, they may give you the credit.
I'm not sure how LLM makes it easier to find PM/F.

Finding a real PM/F is like winning the lottery (I'm not talking about low TAM B2B products or services here).

In order to find one good idea, one need try lots of bad ideas. So, do you mean that LLMs enable to test and throw away bad ideas faster?
Thanks. Isn't that the textbook definition of hacky? :D
> curate a whitelist of sources that don't use AI,

I like this.

Maybe even take it a step further - have a badge on the source that is both human and machine visible to indicate that the content is not AI generated.
Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you found them helpful!

I wanted the interdental cleaning part to come first, because it usually gets neglected and it's just as important as tooth brushing.

But I like your suggestion to change the order, as that would indeed give a gentler introduction.
The real weasel word here is "unexpected". If the AI is going around terminating patients and this counts as expected behaviour... technically correct!
How are you defining oligarchs? I feel like in practice this term is only used to describe Russian businessmen, so I’m not sure if everyone has the same understanding.
It's a literate programming tool. If you find literate programming useful (such as Donald Knuth's Latex) then you can write a Jupyter notebook, add text, add latex, titles, paragraphs, explanations, stories and attach code too. Then, you can just run it. I know that this sounds pretty rare but this is mostly how I write code (not in Jupyter notebook, I use Markdown instead and write code in a combination of Obsidian and Emacs). To me, code is just writing, there is no difference between prose, poetry, musical notation, or computer programming. They're just different languages that mean something to human beings and I think they're done best when they're treated like writing.
They don't prepare properly…

I’ve seen so many people who do half their weekly mileage in one day: their Sunday long run. That alone is a recipe for injury and, come race day, a good way to find that “wall” everyone talks about. Top that off with weekly mileage that hovers around 30 miles/week at best, and yeah, folks are going to get injured and/or be barely able to walk the next day.

Running marathons isn’t bad for you, but running marathons when poorly trained is.
If you were writing a Java application, would you do your own DNS resolution, or would you make a new socket address object and give it a hostname and let the api resolve the hostname for you? If you don’t hand roll your own dns protocol lookups, how do you know the OS, or Java or your socket library aren’t intercepting and modifying request out from under you? Heck, even if you use getaddrinfo directly how do you know your libc implementation isn’t intercepting and modifying the lookups on you? If the threat model you’re coding for is “Apple is a hostile actor intercepting and modifying dns queries” then you really can’t trust their provided posix calls either.
All the big companies have a very generic, hazy definition of themselves. They all try to do everything. The stock market forces them to grow. So, they go in all directions.

You have a good point, perhaps it does not matter how do they define themselves.
That's why I'm asking because that's not the case for crack addiction (there are exceptions to the rule, of course).
The places that aren't moderated are filled with political crap such as to tarnish their credibility, so that the people will stay away by their own will.

Seems like an assumption that “the people” don’t start producing crap when talking about politics/social. It’s a naturally complex topic with all sorts of obstacles to truth. People take simplified and/or incorrect positions and divide arbitrarily due to natural limitations. It turns into garbage on its own, no need for a sneaky party to help it.

This is unsolvable and the term is loaded, the faster you get it, the easier the life.

Just go with the reasoning you have, you don’t need to share it cause those able to pick it up already know.
I absolutely love Chef John. Great recipes and the cadence of his speech on YouTube (foodwishes) is very soothing, while he cooks up something amazing. If you're a home cook I highly recommend his recipes and his channel.
