> Hinting at some kind of symmetry here seems weird.

Both sides (Israeli state, and Hezbollah) want to destroy each other. It's a simple symmetry. Conflating the military force with the territory and civilians living on it only obfuscates this.
If you really really want to clean it all out, you’ll want to do a DFU wipe and install. Basically you plug a USB-C cable from one MacBook to another and then you upgrade the recoveryOS from the second MacBook which lets you bypass all that resetting to Ventura and then upgrading.
A timer is too risky. The was done months in advance - what if the war was over?

I think this was meant for intelligence gathering - now that they know who the important operatives are, you go backwards using video and see where they went and who they talked to.
I like your lack of proportions.

This war is about Hezbollah and Hamas shelling civilians in Israel. Like hundreds of rockets per night. If, to stop that, it may harm a few civilians who are waiting next to Hezbollah members,

…you would let people keep shelling civilians by hundreds and hundreds of rockets?

How do you choose your actions, do you always support the guys who cause the maximum deaths? How does it work, “indiscriminate damage” is as soon as a person is inconvenienced while they were holding Hezbollah’s grocery bags? Shouldn’t they … distance themselves?

Pun unintended. But it’s a very good question. Shouldn’t they distance themselves from active murderers?

I'm also annoyed at the everyday usages of the word "spectrum".

But here I guess you can understand "autism spectrum" as a part of the whole personality spectrum, similar to how the "visible spectrum" is a part of the EM wave spectrum.
Who needs a "back and forth" when you can just say what you mean. I give my male friends big, long hugs and tell them I love them. If there's a problem, I talk to them about it. If I fuck up, I sincerely apologize.

Not that you can't do all that AND give each other some shit. But if you aren't doing all that I suggest giving it a shot.
If this were coordinated with a ground attack on Hezbollah, it would be a great way to disrupt any defense right before it needs to offer resistance.

I'm surprised they used it out of such a concept. It is almost heartening, because it suggests no such attack is currently anticipated by Israel.
My experience living in an apartment building is that delivered packages are just stolen, so I either have them sent to an Amazon Locker or collection point (a local Whole Foods has a counter for this).

Our apartment building has a package room with a camera and my packages have never been stolen from it, and the delivery instructions in my Amazon profile say to use that package room including how to get there and that Amazon can tap into the room. Often times delivery drivers don't do that and just leave the package on a shelf out in the open next to the mailboxes. I cannot even count the number of times someone has ripped into the package to see if it contained something interesting only to leave it behind when it's boring like pencils or cleaning supplies.

Amazon refuses to take any responsibility for packages stolen and has in the past denied refund requests without a police report on the incident (which I have filed multiple for just to get a refund though the package thefts are never investigated so I'm not sure what filing a police report is meant to do here).

Their delivery is inconsistent so I just don't bother. Though that does mean that I don't order as often from them as perhaps they'd like - if I can pick it up locally after work then I'll do that rather than order it and wait for it to be present and unopened only to be disappointed yet again at the Amazon driver who didn't read the delivery instructions which state multiple times not to leave the package next to the mailboxes because it will be destroyed or stolen.
Thank you. I couldn't find the quote when searching.
>The childhood education system needs to prioritize that above all else, demonstration of those skills must be regularly rewarded throughout adult life, and those who flagrantly disregard them need to be properly ridiculed.

Who you think is going to support that? Government? No matter the flag or hat color all are happy to have a herd that can be managed by the sound of a bell.
This approach really doesn't make sense to me. The model has to output the entire transcript token by token, instead of simply adding it to the context window...

A more interesting idea would be a browser extension that lets you open a chat window from within YouTube, letting you ask it questions about certain parts of the transcript with full context in the system prompt.

My understanding is that it is a large collection of traits and that a person might have no traits or possibly even 1 or 2 that are very minor and NOT be on the spectrum.
Someone else might have 1 severe trait and be on the spectrum and someone else might need 5 traits to be diagnosed as on the spectrum.
Don’t think of it as a continuous spectrum but more of a collection of traits that are of little or no severity to high severity where as was mentioned before, the person has little or no quality of life.

> Games can probably get away by listening for the scan codes of the keys in the position commonly used by WASD, but it's a bit fragile, and they can't actually tell you what's printed on the keys they're listening to. The lack of consistenency is certainly annoying, though...

The operating system knows how to map scan codes to characters based on the keyboard mapping the user has selected.

MacOS: CGEventKeyboardGetUnicodeString / UCKeyTranslate
Linux: xkb_state_key_get_utf8

Hell, glfw nicely wraps all of these up with glfwGetKeyName.

Stop reading character codes directly, use the scan code and when displaying them map it using the system API so people see the right freaking binding. It's not rocket science,

Yeah, this should remove any doubt that there were explosives involved. At the 500 to 1000 mA hour capacity typically used in pagers, even tampering with the battery's venting in an attempt to build up gas pressure would at worst result in a pop and some smoke from the top of the bag.

Blowing a hole in the side of the bag and sending debris for several meters is obviously not plausible with that quantity of lithium.
This was downvoted. I guess someone though it was a joke. But it's part of the correct answer. More details in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat_number
6% unemployment is a pretty normal rate for an economy. Historically the US is usually above 5% [1], and the current rate is 4.2%, so 6% is only slightly above the national rate.

I don't doubt that you've had trouble finding work, but I don't think the unemployment rate is the reason, or even the symptom. Particularly since it sounds like you are looking for remote only, and the ratio of seekers to jobs (a sort of "unemployment" measure, given that people may settle for in-office jobs if they can't find a remote one) for remote software may be very different than a 6% rate.

I don't think you've ever been through the pain of moving a big, fully integrated, multiple ETL pipeline data warehouse built on something like Redshift. Vendor lock in is more about inertia and less about there not being an alternative. Some things are just really, really difficult to move and ridiculously impactful to change.

Depends of course on the field and the conference tier. I doubt you could write an accepted paper for ICLR/ICML/NeurIPS/CVPR/ICCV in a week from scratch. These typically involve writing code, doing experiments, evaluating on benchmarks and obtaining good, if not state of the art, scores.

Typically this does involve 4-6 months of work even in high-output labs. It just involves many iterations, polishing the text and figures to "look like" an accepted paper by gestalt etc.

I wasn't trying to imply there's no work or effort needed. I'm more saying that there's a lot of learnable, repetitive parts and if you get them right, your output can have a consistent good quality but nothing groundbreaking. Chipping away at problems, permuting the assumptions and tasks, throwing in the latest hot new method and combining it with another method etc. It isn't something that anyone could do, but it doesn't rely on big eureka moments or flashes of deep insight that one might romantically expect.

No, Moore's law is fine. If the CPU takes half the real estate and uses half the power but costs the same it is the same perversion of the market expectations of Moore's law as if you don't deliver twice as much in the same price.

From Wikipedia:

Some forecasters, including Gordon Moore,[122] predict that Moore's law will end by around 2025.[123][120][124] Although Moore's Law will reach a physical limit, some forecasters are optimistic about the continuation of technological progress in a variety of other areas, including new chip architectures, quantum computing, and AI and machine learning.[125][126] Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared Moore's law dead in 2022;[2] several days later, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger countered with the opposite claim.[3]

It's military budget is on the order of $20B which is quite decent for that size of a country. It's enough to build some realistic looking batteries and/or pagers combined with the technical base they have.

Opera used to be rather popular, back before there were recordings. Opera stars like Jenny Lind and Enrico Caruso used to be a big deal, and played to packed houses. Every city had an opera house, even quite small ones.

Ballet and classical music were similar, as was classical theater like Shakespeare. They would be presented by touring companies, as well as community groups.

I think that recorded media played a key part in displacing them. The older forms, in their most expensive incarnations, remained as entertainment for the wealthy, as a way to distinguish themselves from the masses who watched recorded entertainment.

But a lot of grand old movie theaters started life as opera houses and classical theaters. They used to be popular entertainment.

Well, thankfully, you cannot be deplatformed from e-mail, since it's a protocol, not platform.

Both Google Mail and Microsoft Outlook could keep your e-mails from being delivered to people who still have an e-mail with them (and vice-versa, but if it got that bad,would you still be willing to keep in touch with the people, and do business with the companies willing to put up with that ?

Also because one would have to weigh the alternative.

Imagine Israel declared an old fashioned war against Lebanon as response to the missile strikes originated from its territory.

I think the number of civilian casualties of a conventional "legal" war would be much much higher than the collateral damage of this operation.

Now, does that make it "right"? To me war is horror and is to avoid at all cost. Is a smaller horror a cost one's willing to pay to avoid a bigger horror? Hard to say. But I think it's still important to at least try to see things in a broader context otherwise we may never understand why people on the ground make the choices they do.

This is plausible.

However, reminded of critical thinking, I realized I initially accepted as truth something reported on some Web site I'd never even heard of.

I didn't quickly find any recognizable credible outlets reporting this, so now I suspect I'm not the only person who jumped at something they were biased to believe, simply because it was claimed on the Internet.

Which is humbling, when I'm thinking unflattering things about all the "other people" who gobble up propaganda without critical thinking.

I'm not saying this story is false, but simply that I and perhaps others believed it immediately, merely because we were prejudiced to believe it, and heard it claimed by anyone.
a lot of people claim "we will strike fear in the hearts of our enemies".

Israel makes them quietly shit their pants instead.

So 1-2 feet away is safe from serious injury resulting from the explosive force itself. Though the probability seems high at least some out of thousands had people standing close enough for worse, or further away and hit with shrapnel.

I’m just commenting on injury though, not making a moral or ethical judgement. That’s not an easy call when an opponent is embedded in a population of non-combatants.
What does "retina" mean exactly? From what I can tell it's a general Apple marketing term rather than something concrete. Are 4K monitors unsupported by macOS? I've been using one with my MacBook for a while and I haven't noticed blurriness.
Yeah, the lean mass loss effect associated with GLP-1 agonists is just the effect of rapid weight loss without lifestyle and dietary changes other than calorie restriction. There's nothing about Ozempic etc. that keeps you from eating more protein, working out more, and so on (in fact, it makes it easier to do those things in most cases). People are noticing "Ozempic face" because the people who are losing weight through calorie restriction via GLP-1 agonists previously would have just failed at dieting and kept the weight on.
That's an interesting idea!

I think that the liability will just travel a layer of indirection. So in your example, I would think that the company that made the elevator would still be liable for any harm that their product causes -- if it can be established that it is their fault that a 12 year old's finger got bruised because of a poor design for the elevator.
This won't do anything meaningful to reduce civilian deaths. Less than 0.1% of Lebanon injured, and 10x that number now even more enraged. Not meaningfully repeatable either, won't create significant attrition

This kind of language is awfully eugenics-adjacent, and part of why autistic people resent having neurotypical people tell them how they should feel about it. If he's "not living any kind of life", it's a short hop to saying it would be better if he died, or was never born.

Even if he's a "5-year old child," even children lead meaningful lives.
Both sides are lobbing missiles at civilians? And responding to an attack on your civilians is fruitless? Maybe evaluate what you are saying.

Yeah, they contain binaries for Swift itself (the driver interface, the compiler, the repl, the package manager, swift-format, etc.), as well as the toolchain's dependencies (llvm, lldb, clang, the sanitizer runtimes, etc.).

There are other (also large) downloads to enable producing static binaries on Linux, and those contain the required system libraries (musl libc, libicu, libcrypto, libpthread, etc.). Those are about twice as big as they need to be, because they bundle x86 and aarch64 together.
The pager isn't top secret.

Pagers employ unencrypted communications and (because they are receive-only devices) use a broadcast system to deliver messages to the pager. [0] Israel is publicly very, very friendly with at least one very wealthy Five Eyes country, and may have less-public support from many other wealthy and technologically sophisticated countries. If Israel happened to not have the domestically-developed capability to get a copy of every single page sent in an area of interest, they could ask their good buddies at the NSA, CIA, or other such global intelligence agencies to shunt that information to them in a timely manner.

Given the organization's sophistication, there is absolutely no way that Hezbollah believes that the contents of their pages are secret. The worst-case outcome of a lost pager is that the organization temporarily loses convenient contact to the person at the other end of that pager. While this could potentially be operationally disastrous, it's more like losing your service weapon than it is leaving the plans for D-Day on a public bus.

An Existential Threat to the EU
I can easily envision a scenario that would preemptively “explain” why the pagers are internally different from past models:

Supplier: “Hey, we’ve got a refreshed model of the pager you wanted to buy in bulk. Interested?”

Buyer: “I don’t know, how do they work?”

Supplier: “Same as the other ones, minus a bit less plastic protection. With the weight savings they’ve added a new hardened receiver that’s supposedly more secure and will keep communications private. Also, they are 50% cheaper per unit…”

Buyer: “Say no more. We’ll take them.”

This is an exaggeration. What people mostly describe is the enormity of the benefits to costs (for some positions and some people).

This is acknowledged. But it does not imply any reason to enforce a blanket policy.

I really wish we could avoid this tone of petty superiority.
It's certainly possible, especially for an empathetic or simply very long game individual. But I do feel that the short term incentive isn't there because those people can do all the union stuff without paying union dues.

And ofc if you give someone special treatment in a union (and they aren't a leader themselves), you kind of ruin the whole point of a union and are just a middleman.
