Younger Americans are by in large not buying Israel's bullshit. American support for Israel is a generational phenomenon and that support will be aging and dying out of the political process in the next 20 or so years, after that Israel will be on their own to face all the enemies they've made, and that won't end well for them.

I think this is why they've been so aggressive in recent years. They know their window of opportunity is closing.

In tax law, this is considered avoidance, ie. you are avoiding overpayment.

Back in the day working on land seismic crews our blasting was handled by radio signal transmitted from the observer doghouse to the blaster at the shot-hole. You could hear on the radio when the recording crew began shooting for the day's production. There was a tone that triggered the shot while the blaster was connected to the blasting cap on the down-hole charge.

If someone placed explosives in a radio device I'm sure it would be quite easy to detonate them on command with a signal tone.

It doesn't matter if they care or not truthfully, because international relations are supposed to hold them to account.

Thats why we sanction Russia and Iran.

Israel needs to be friendly with the west because it is surrounded by hostile nations. But those nations are making things harder for the rest of the world to intervene.
There are, I think, two separate but related issues here:

The first is that file I/O is essentially broken with respect to error reporting. A write is simultaneously treated as a synchronous operation that will wait until it succeeds or fails by most application code, and yet in the kernel, it's a request that may eventually fail. And those errors can only be reported in circumstances where doing anything about the error tends to be impossible. Worse yet, there's a tendency to even throw away these errors on the kernel side, so you have to be really, really diligent to make sure you catch them (this prompted the Postgresql folks to rage at the Linux kernel for a while over the braindead behavior of fsync).

At the end of the day, the issue is that most clients would probably be happy with the notion of I/O being asynchronous and eventually succeeding, so long as a) I/O happens-before edges could be specified and b) there were a delayed success/failure callback that was actually truthful, and not an endless game of people lying about it to win on benchmarks to cause you to go the next level of "no really, this is the real final callback mechanism".

The other issue is that there are just some cases where error handling just ... doesn't make sense. And errors for a basic print to stdout or stderr are quite frankly in that boat. If printing a message to stdout failed, what action are going to be able to do? What action is even reasonable? (Note that this analysis isn't the same for programs that are effectively meant to be part of a Unix shell pipeline, processing stdin into stdout, this is more for bare printf, rather than writing to a stream that just happens to be stdout instead of a file.)

> One revolution I'm still coming to grips with is automated manufacturing. Going on aliexpress, so much stuff is basically free. I bought a 5-port 120W (total) charger for less than 2 minutes of my time. It literally took less time to find it than to earn the money to buy it.

Is there a big recent qualitative change here? Or is this a continuation of manufacturing trends (also shocking, not trying to minimize it all, just curious if there’s some new manufacturing tech I wasn’t aware of).

For some reason, your comment got me thinking of a fully automated system, like: you go to a website, pick and choose charger capabilities (ports, does it have a battery, that sort of stuff). Then an automated factor makes you a bespoke device (software picks an appropriate shell, regulators, etc). I bet we’ll see it in our lifetimes at least.

Amazon has, for many people, completely replaced malls, local shopping, and similar, with the much more convenient alternative of remote-shopping. This tweet is observing that the same pattern applies to remote-working, and asking if there should be a "return-to-local-shopping" the way Amazon wants a "return-to-local-office".

Or, in other words, it's an observation of hypocrisy on Amazon's part.
A lot of the new manufacturing isn't going to the states that specialized in manufacturing previously.

Do you have a source? I didn't think any of the 22 countries in the Arab League considered Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization (either its political branch or its militia!).

Many of the countries you mention consider the militia to be a terrorist organization, but not the political wing. I wonder whether the pagers were carried by both groups.

Yes, it’s clear they considered it. It’s the only reason they didn’t make the explosions much more powerful. Why else?
> Is it actually their top-performing employees?

People who are top-performing often have a lot more choice and flexibility, taking that away isn't going to sit well. I'm sure there will top-performers that prefer the office and they will happily go back but the others? They will start looking for new jobs.

> This move absolutely will drive out some of their best talent… but the job market isn’t great

I hear this a lot and I've interviewed a number of people who said as much. Here's the thing, the people that mentioned the market wasn't good were people that we didn't hire. Not because they mentioned the market wasn't good but because they didn't pass our tests. So I'm skeptical of how much this holds true when we are talking about "top performers".

> Genuinely, are there many desirable workplaces left that are remote?

This is a silly statement. You must be in a bubble to think this. Money is not the only driving factor for people.

It's high quality when the content is within HN's bubble. Anything related to health, politics, or Microsoft is full of misinformation, ignorance, and garbage like any other site. The Microsoft discussions in particular are extremely low quality.
It depends.

I've read some people online who were hired full remote by Amazon and are now grouped into the full RTO, and that may be illegal in the EU since you're changing their terms of employment without consideration.

However, people hired full in-office, then who went remote, and are now RTO, it seems like there may be less grounds unless they got it in writing that they're now considered full remote.

While the EU is absolutely better for employee rights/protections, it isn't absolute. It depends what you're contracted for.

The amount of money given by companies to congresspeople to save on taxes is necessarily lower than the amount of money not paid in taxes by doing so. I would be surprised if the return was less than 10x.

When planning such operation you cannot be certain that:

1. all the devices will land in hands of legitimate targets

2. all those devices will be actually used by targets at the moment of explosion

3. there will be no civilians in the range of explosion

Because of that civilian casualties should be anticipated at unknown scale. Since Israel pulled the trigger knowing that, it means they deliberately targeted civilians along with legitimate targets.
The same way usa can blow up any country in the world but was blindsided by 9/11.

When the element of surprise is involved, the attacker only has to get lucky once,the defender has to be lucky every day.

Yes. If North Korea or Russia pulled this off we would all be suitably impressed. This is an impressive feat, as targeted as it gets (you could have been standing right next to one of these and walked away, as shown in many of the videos online), and while we would certainly retaliate, the very next step would be studying how it happened.

Depends on what you’re doing. For best cookies, you want to cream the butter with the sugar, then add the eggs, and finally add the flour. If you’re interested and can find one, it’s worth taking a vegan baking class. You learn a lot about ingredient substitutions for baking, about what the different non-vegan ingredients are doing that you have to compensate for…and it does something that I’ve only recently started seeing happen in non-vegan baking recipes: it separates the wet ingredients from the dry ingredients.

That is, when baking, you can usually (again, exceptions for creaming the sugar in butter, etc.) take all of your dry ingredients and mix/sift them together, and then you pour your wet ingredients in a well you’ve made in the dry ingredients (these can also usually be mixed together).

Those are decently advanced nodes, but if 3nm isn't coming until 2026 then this is absolutely a last-gen fab. For reference, Samsung is considered a "last-gen/trailing gen" fab, and they'll be shipping 2nm in 2026 on their roadmap.

Taiwan's TSMC will have a process and sampling edge for the foreseeable future, unless they change the roadmap.
Does anyone know, assuming this was a radio-triggered signal to detonate the booby trap, what range the originating signal or radio station could have?

I'm curious if this type of remote activation could be achieved with just a single radio tower, or if it would require a network of geographically distributed radio towers to transmit the signal to the affected area. How would isolation conditions, like being inside a building or in a garage, affect it? Also, what kind of radio towers would be needed? Could it be disguised as a regular HAM radio antenna on a building?
And yet the same Federal government called the attack against USS Cole "terrorism" and its perpetrators "terrorists", and implemented a range of "anti-terrorism" measures in the Navy after that. And it was a military target, and all the victims were military.

So really, terrorism is what people say is terrorism.

Apologies, I thought you were the GP.

I took your tone to be a bit of push back on this being a good use of compute.
Yes RunPod does have cheaper pricing than us however they don't allow you to specify your exact resources but rather charge you the full resource (see example of A100 above) so depending on your resource requirements our pricing could be competitive since we charge you only for the resources you use.

In terms of cold starts, they mentioned their cold starts are 250ms which I am not sure what workload that is on, or if we have the same measure of cold starts. We have had quite a few customers that we have told us we are quite a bit faster 2-4 seconds vs ~10 seconds although we haven't confirmed this ourselves.

For a 30GB model, we have a few ways to speed this up such as using the Tensorizer framework from Coreweave, we cache model files in our distributed caching layer but I would need to test.

What about a cold conflict? How much do the tariffs and protectionist policies cost in the middle to long run?

I have no sympathy for people who want to dodge taxes being forced to pay a tax on income that the government has deferred taxes on while they were a citizen making taxable income in the US, and presumably if you're abandoning your citizenship you're not keeping your home and would have already paid sales and capital gains taxes on it when you sold it.

This question has an implicit assumption that you're talking about a US-style health system and the incentives that exist in a system of that structure.

This is exactly why a structure like the UK NHS which is going for "what's the most healthcare I can get for the country with a fixed pot of money" is a better setup.

For instance, in the UK the female contraceptive pill is free to whoever wants it. Because that is a whole lot cheaper than extra (unwanted) pregnancies. Similarly the NHS has spent money on reducing smoking because that's cheaper than dealing with the health effects.

At some point I hope it stabilizes without it being the end of the language.

Please do teach us all how to wage a war on a jihadist organization, with zero civilian casualties. How would you do that?
Apparently, extreme targeting by micro explosive devices is not enough. No matter what Israel would do, it will always be held at an enormously higher standard than other countries.

Why did Hezbollah start firing rockets into Israel in the first place? it was totally unprovoked. Now they are reaping what they sowed.
This is the X model. Nobody moderates Musk!
Yes, I am aware. I'm mostly asking why this operation, _in addition to_ what Hezbollah does, is not also considered terrorism.

Sounds like the tl;dr is that civilians aren't the primary target, therefore it is not terrorism.

It is not just convenience. It is also cost. How many customers will be willing to pay a $ or more just for the packaging? Every alternative to plastic is much more expensive. For instance, take glass. Glass bottles break very easily during transport and they are also more expensive to purchase. If you are thinking of recycling them, that too adds cost in the process - from pickup, cleaning, drying etc.

The holy grail for packaging would be a transparent, flexible, glass-like substance that is also extremely inert and which doesn't absorb the contents, doesn't spoil, doesn't allow air in or out, retains shape for a long time.... and yet can be decomposed!! As you can see this is a tall order.

With enough time, effort, and money? Sure.

But that would be many orders of magnitude more difficult that what they pulled off here, which was already very impressively difficult to pull off.
I don’t like relative risk and relative risk reduction because it tends to overestimate the effectiveness of the intervention.

In this case, the absolute risk when measuring for death in the GIM pre-intervention and GIM post-intervention are 0.0215 (2.15%) and 0.0146 (1.46%) with an absolute risk reduction of 0.0069 (.69%).

While the relative risk is 26% across the pre- and post-intervention, the absolute risk reduction is only 0.69% with a NNT (number needed to treat) of 1/156. Which means that 1 patient in 156 was helped by this intervention.

In addition, they had 2 false alarms for each true alarm and could suggest that interventions were performed in patients who did not require it — more tests, medications and possibly increased risk from said interventions.

This shows that the CHARTwatch ML/AI is not helping at all that much clinically.
Yes. That's the small web.

An entire integrated explosive device + detonator + radio circuit that leeches off the host device's power supply, that you activate by blasting an area with some out-of-band signal on a frequency that propagates far and wide?

Takes some upfront work but you don't have to mess with the device, any firmware that might leave traces, and the comms network itself. You just fly a big antenna nearby and everything goes boom.
The best and most expensive have always been accommodated. They still will be. And they will still hire for fully remote roles.

But there are probably thousands of engineers who think they are the best..
I have to disagree... Literate programming is still programming: it produces programs (but with an extra effort of writing documentation up-front).

Jupyter is a tool to do some exploratory interactive programming. Most notebooks I've seen in my life (probably thousands at this point) are worthless as complete programs. They are more akin to shell sessions, which, for the most part, I wouldn't care storing for later.

Of course, Jupyter notebooks aren't the same as shell sessions, and there's value in being able to re-run a notebook, but they are so bad at being programs, that there's a probably a number N in low two-digits, where if you expect to have to run a notebook more than N times, you are better off writing an actual program instead.
Not unless they managed to pack explosives into it.
Possibly but a website that says 'vendor vulnerable' is bad PR and readers won't care if it's EOL or not.
I'm not convinced this was a terror attack and I think Israel is within its rights to target Hezbollah, but here's a question:

If the assailant and target were reversed, would Western media hesitate at all to call it terrorism?

Or, forget Hezbollah and Israel. If ISIS had detonated thousands of explosive devices all over, e.g., the UK injuring and killing hundreds of UK military personnel and some civilians, would that not immediately be condemned as an act of terror, by everyone in the entire world, East and West? And rightly so?

If the designation of "terror" or "not terror" depends on who's attacking and whom they are targeting, then there's not much point in talking about terror or not terror at all.
Wrong and wrong. It just needs to be stopped. And you can mask it to make sure it never ever ever is started by anyone again. C'mon man, 0 for 0 so far on your grumbles.
