> everyone in range is hit.

The range is tiny. Go watch some videos, for example this one: https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1836037485492629605

People standing directly next to the target are unharmed.
It's really simple, you ride with others instead of just by yourself.

No, you aren't. Maybe on a climb.
Anecdotally, I'm aware of managers who've been sacked for pushing back. Knowledge of this is probably enough to reshuffle priorities in the current economic situation.
Yeah, that's a fishy claim. You could perhaps say it's technically true he currently holds title... until a court rules otherwise. Which is certainly would, unless Italy is doing something very unusual.

I expect that's the statement of a lawyer in CYA mode; at some point he goes from unknowing victim to knowingly holding stolen property, which can start to cause legal issues.
C# does have WASM flavour, and several hundred (the runtime is actually very light, it's the whole SDK installer that weights this much) turn into a couple megabytes. It's not perfect with Mono-WASM target still, so there's an experiment for NativeAOT-LLVM that builds on top of .NET's IL AOT Compiler that is significantly more size and performance efficient.
The ratio is at least as high in WW2, but only if you include war crimes and genocides. I think we can agree that WW2 featured notable and anomalous civilian casualties from the first industrial genocides, can't we?

If you look more closely at the data, you'll see that Germany, for example, suffered 3.8 million civilian deaths and 5.5 million military deaths. This was after Germany was completely invaded, thus the fighting reached every city.

The civilian-military death ratio in Gaza is, according to peer-reviewed independent estimates, at least 2:1, and that's if you assume that every male 18-60 is an enemy combatant. If you don't, you find a ratio of at least 4:1, with estimates mostly around 6-9:1. And this data is from before the collapse in infrastructure had time to really drive up the excess death count : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
I cannot see any comment in the immediate sub-thread making a distinction between explosives per se?

Certainly to me I don't see the difference between explosives supplied in a missile produced with US tax-subsidies to arms profiteers or explosives produced by someone else. Except that in the first case US voters have some control over the supply -- not much, but some.

The GP comment is clearly talking about the lack of precision or targeting. Here you may have a point if we consider absolute quantities instead of some relative measurement: a US-taxpayer-supplied-with-profits-to-a-private-company Hellfire missile fired into a refugee camp full of women and children might kill 10 obviously-innocent people for 1 presumed-to-be-a-terrorist-without-any-sort-of-trial person; whereas a pager bomb exploding might blow up the we-dont-know-yet-anything-but-he-was-in-Hezbollah and his ten-year old daughter.

If I were a moral simpleton I might argue that the Hellfire missile murders were worse than the pager murders.

But what do I know? After all hundreds of years of protocols and treaties and norms about this sort of thing are probably just old and in need of being re-envisioned by some clever code jockey.
Did Cortez really land in Darien? I thought that was the site of the ill-fated Scottish attempt at setting up a colony.
It would also cut down on the amount of code in those packages significantly. The overhead of gluing things into ROS is enourmous (and mostly makes everything worse: a robotic control system running through 3-4 unsynchronised nodes communicating over a network-based pub-sub system on commodity hardware has very little hope of working if everything is well written, let alone with the average quality of a ROS package).
The sad part about the fediverse was it was already tried by republicans from ~2017 to 2020. They learned nothing from republicans and decided to repeat the experiment but with democrats. These sites don't scale well, are complex, and don't have good ways of generating enough revenue to justify growth. I think there could be solutions to these problems but for whatever reason nobody figured it out in time.
How do you define great? What should I be looking for?
Cell phones that, if distributed from the organization like the pagers were, could be compromised as well.

I suspect supply-chain attack (probably started some time ago), combined with a pager signal software hack.

I really hope that they didn't figure out a way to make unmodified kit explode, because it would only be a matter of time, before our devices were blowing up everywhere, as folks do it for the lulz.
I've been watching a slow enshittification of Discord over the last few years and preparing to move to the Next Thing in a year or two, but this actually seems like a great move, and technically interesting. Is there a downside/drawback I'm not seeing?
You can also find out what your target is using, find some exploits in it and publicize them, then offer a super good deal on an upgraded model.
> ...quite a few of them learned Ancient Greek

The english phrase "it's all greek to me" has very different connotations depending upon if either (a) one knows no one who knows any greek, or (b) one had some greek in school, and even if one never did well oneself, one knows others with some facility in the language; in the latter case it implies "may look incomprehensible, but can be mastered with some effort".
Oh, being short (for a man) makes dating so much harder. I'm above average height and didn't realize how hard the bottom quintile of height (about 5'7") in the US has it.
I watched a video of one of these exploding in the pocket of someone at a grocery store with someone standing directly next to him, so close they were rubbing shoulders, and the bystander was fine. No doubt there were many dozens of civilian casualties, but if the numbers net out the way you'd expect they would (ie: people carrying these pagers, which link to Hezbollah's own communications network --- they run their own phone company --- are overwhelmingly Hezbollah operatives) this is going to pencil out as one of the most surgical attacks of all time.

Every military strike in modern warfare will involve someone in some sense not worrying about innocent people getting hurt. This isn't Agincourt. Wars happen in cities now.
Since when did naming a country for their military action signify the opinion or inclination of the majority of civic population? When newspapers report on "country A did X" it almost always means their government did X. So I'm not sure what point you're trying to make

ZIP can be a useful container for when you want a plaintext file with attachments, but you also want the full folder structure transportable itself as a single file. Automating zip/unzip operations isn't too bad, and you sometimes easily can teach some applications to work directly with zip container streams, without a temporary folder, too. Some existing text editors can do it naturally already; emacs and vim both have native support. Others have plugins available, like VSCode has ZipFS [1] (which is also on the backlog of possible things to support out of the box [2]).

PS5 Pro makes no sense, yes.

Most studios aren't even able to push current PS 5 to its limit, given current development schedules and budgets.

PS 5 Pro is for the same target audience as PS 4 Pro, hardcode console fans that will buy whatever the console vendor puts out, and Sony needs to improve their margins.
This is also why I wish political slogans were better worded. Yes it's catchy but others dismiss it at face value when there is perhaps some truth to whatever nuanced grievance they're trying to express. Further polarising debate.
I agree with this theory even though I am not even sure it would require a specific modification like the mentioned heating wire, if you can simply use the existing circuit with some instruction to cause component overheating with the same effect.

Another reason I do not believe it was an explosive is that a clandestine explosive installation would have resulted in far greater damage and included shrapnel. Because why would you not install very high explosives and shrapnel in a shape charge that directed the explosion into the likely body of the wearer if you are taking the risk of intercepting and making a physical modification.

This is also less Stuxnet and more infiltrating insecure systems of vehicles to drive by wire accelerate cars into objects. There have been examples of this

Maybe I'm just confused about what you mean by sexual tension. If I'm attracted to somebody, I feel out what they think. If they don't feel the same, then that's that. Same the other way around.

If people agree that they like each other, then there is sexual tension, because they both instigate that sexual tension.

If they aren't attracted to each other, then there's obviously no chance of sexual tension in the first place.

For some people I see on the Internet, sex seems to be an overwhelming factor in their lives, and they see all relationships through that lens, but I've never observed that in real life. Sex and romantic relationships are just one part of people's lives, and most friendships are never perceived through that lens.

(The first "auto-" is self-moving as contrasted with the cart that needed an external motive (horse etc.), then the second "auto-" is self-directing with sensors and feedback systems forming a crude "mind" with a "self image" (all efficient regulators contain a model of themselves[1]). A self-motile and self-guided machine is an auto-auto-mobile. I love it.)

What if the company itself was a front? That sounds like Mossad's style of planning, much more so than intercepting shipments or something.
They might not have been GSM but one way POCSAG pagers.
From the vidoes I saw for example: https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1836037485492629605 they would have to be touching the pager to be harmed.
The biggest tragedy in the history of software engineering was back in the mid 1990s when they failed to get Java (Applets) to run in the browser so they had to invent JavaScript, which was purely nothing but a hack put together over a weekend by one guy and it "stuck" like napalm onto humanity and has been burning us ever since. I would say at least one billion man hours (100 billion? Trillion?) has been wasted trying to contend with all the ugliness that ensued. Even the most popular language today on the web TypeScript only has one reason for existing: To try to continue to work around this napalm fire, in some semblance of a tolerable way.

Sure I love TypeScript, and use it every day, because it's the best solution to the current dumpster fire, but I'd like to get away from dumpsters some day. So it's really refreshing to see something good being done to replace this mess we call "Web Development"
This seems awesome! Anyone else find this to be kind of scary?

While I do see the value in unions in some settings, this is not a job of necessity. This is a job for people that wish to self actualize and not settle for anything less than their dream job. Wouldn't creating a union for Mr. Beast employees is akin to saying something like "I want to have my dream job but I want it to be easy"? I don't think that the analogy to mining coal holds.
Scala's great if you can end up in a code base that is "scala as a better java" instead of "scala as haskell on the jvm".
It wasn't time based. Videos show the pager making some kind of signal or message that caused the person holding it to look at it.
If you click on the image of "Link" (I know he is not really) in the "Interactive Viewing" section then you can see that in front of him (out of view) is a bunch of noise. I think it is interesting that it would predict randomness above just predicting nothing being there.

This is awesome tech.
Assuming the stock of replaceable batteries is large enough to handle them all being replaced simultaneously, that the replacement batteries are not likewise compromised, and that the battery is indeed the compromised component.

Realistically just replacing the pagers is not only safer but also probably cheaper.
TBF they will also happily argue for non-consensus conspiracy theories, if you ask nicely and there's no external guardrails in place. Their only concrete/stable/omnipresent consensus is a linguistic one, not a sociopolitical one, IMO.
The article says the 17-point star is on a monument to Gauss in his home town of Brunswick Germany, not on his headstone.

An image search for "gauss monument brunswick germany" on Duck Duck Go includes a picture of the 17-point star at this link:

https://www.braunschweig.de/leben/stadtportraet/stadtteile/n...

I can't go to it to confirm because we are blocked from going to foreign links at my work place. It looks like the star is on the left side of the monument near his right foot.
Japanese IME on Windows is insane; it's always switching to A mode. You're always fighting it to go to あ.
I’m not sure which image you are referring to but there are images of lithium battery explosions blowing holes into counters and faces. There are some linked here.
Yeah you are probably right. I'm an electronics newbie and don't know exactly how pagers work in wireless. I'm going to read some material on it.
So instead of just using a domain TXT record you're required to host a page and provide access to this file? Seems worse than how AtProto handle's this.
According to Israel, it is the same conflict, but if you tally up civilian casualties from previous Israeli-Lebanon conflicts, you'll find a similar rate.
> Our calculation is we can retire them by the end of 3 years.

I was going to say, business just needs server to last 3 years, they are normally written off after 3 years and you don't do upgrade plans. Currently we're aiming more for 5 years, but budgeting for 3, that way anything beyond the 3 years is basically free. No one plans to purchase upgrade parts for their old Dell servers either.

You can also move some of these machines into other roles like QA later on.
Also they probably ended up where they were because if I remember correctly windows will 'smash' mouse move events together for you in some cases. This will look like 'lost messages' (I recognized the peek loop as I have done that same thing once). This is is for two reasons one old not needed as much any more, and the one they found out the hard way. Memory as just scrubbing the mouse around would create a ton of memory objects that need to be pretty much cleaned up right away. The second is performance. As that is a ton of little messages that need to be picked up looked at and something done with. Which zorches your CPU.

The core of the issue is trying to wrap polling style of logic into an event based system (which windows is at its heart). There is no real pretty way to fix it.
With fairness though, this is exactly the risk we run as an importer-state of electronics that cannot secure our own supply chains. We've been dealing with the digital risk of backdoored electronics for the better half of a decade; physical risks were only a matter of time.

There exists meaningful mitigation (eg. inspect imported electronics at random) but ultimately this risk is our just-deserts as Americans. If our smartphone and car manufacturers didn't take their jobs to other countries, then we'd be able to sleep a whole lot easier. Turns out, there is a bipartisan interest in making America hostile to manufacturing jobs.
> Nor do they "escape" the black hole; they are emitted from outside the horizon.

That's interesting, I'd never really thought about that before. Does GR predict that there would be any waves confined to the inside of the merged black hole?
That would explain the haircut.

I think you can always go back further. A good overview is this article on the history of Hezbollah-Israel conflict, with links to the various flare-ups:

Is the pager thing really recent? Because if this was done before the current war they couldn't have known when they wanted it to explode.
In this specific scenario, where the project is using *automated Chrome* to even bother with the connection, redirects, and bazillions of other "browser-y" things to arrive at HTML to be parsed, the very idea that one would `soup = BeautifulSoup(playright.content())` is crazypants to me

I am open to the fact that html5lib strives to parse correctly, and good for them, but that would be the case where one wished to use python for parsing to avoid the pitfalls of dragging a native binary around with you
As soon as the AM4 vs AM5 conversation started, I immediately thought "price". The cost of swapping a mobo to AM5 in a few years is minimal compared to bulk price savings you can get using "good enough" AM4 now.

The concept of legitimate targets is from the Geneva convention.

> A fundamental premise of the Geneva Conventions has been that to earn the right to protection as military fighters, soldiers must distinguish themselves from civilians by wearing uniforms and carrying their weapons openly

Hezbollah fighters clearly aren’t doing this and this is whether the fundamental argument around how Israel behaves comes from - what is a legitimate target and rules of engagement when the fighting force blends itself into the general populace? For all the criticism, Israel by some accounts does seem to do better than the US in similar circumstances when they were in Iraq and Afghanistan in terms of protecting civilian populations. And for all their criticism (some well deserved some not) they could certainly be even more indiscriminate in their targeting.
The reason for using pagers instead of phones is that they are receivers only, they do not transmit, therefore they cannot be localized.

So no data exfiltration was possible using the pagers. The only purpose of the modified pagers was to maim or kill their possessors, by detonating all of them simultaneously.
Thanks, I wonder how does one do that. I'll probably need to read how pagers work.
I couldn't. Go right ahead.
I still don't think it's an exact analogue and has more of a flavor of System.Threading.Channels. In particular, when you look at the proposal for fan-in.
>Whoever did this just killed that as an information channel as both the devices and the network are now compromised.

I'm not sure if thats true, they just need to start cracking open their shipments of pagers and looking for explosives.

The scar marks an operative. Israel has a huge amount of video footage, now they work backward and see where that person went, and who they talked to.
Government agencies need SLAs. If FAA does not respond to the revision request within X days, it should be considered approved.

Governments have a long history of using delay as a weapon. This is why the founders included right to a speedy trial. Obviously that doesn't apply here as it is not a criminal prosecution but it shows that this was a known mechanism for corrupt governments to abuse their power.
TBH Israel does not concern itself about killing bystanders generally and our western press will also laser focus on hezbullah.
The real, real problem is that there's a candidate for President who can be predicted in advance to make the unfounded claim that immigrants are eating pet cats with such confidence that a response can be ready.
