Yes! Many of the responses here are intellectual, missing something more earthy. In particular, hearing Lombardo reading from his translation of the Iliad [0] stirred me deeply. For sure I'm going to find a print of his version.

The pagers were carried specifically by Hezbollah operatives. You can't be both an innocent member of the general public and an operative of a paramilitary org at the same time.
You can argue whether gambling should be allowed, restricted of banned altogether, but you'll have a hard time convincing me that this isn't (ab)using the same weaknesses in our brains.

There are plenty of much cheaper and even free games that aren't employing these abusive psychological tactics. In fact they've pretty much always been there, in contrast to this newer development of microtransaction over the last 10 years.
It’s also documented in the iPhone User Guide.

A couple of things on this:

1. It appears that the AUMBC referenced replaced their equipment but that had nothing to do with this and their doctors weren't impacted.

2. Your note of "...other enemies of Israel will be significantly more motivated retaliate in some equally creative/unpredictable fashion..." is strange considering that this is already the norm. Almost all (perhaps all) of the attacks against Israel have been from terrorists targeting civilians.
I was mistaken; I was conflating Permissive Security with SIP. Permissive Security does have those limitations.
I don't see someone like Iran or Lebanon being able to do that, but Israel has a great technical know-how and a ton of resources. Making custom batteries, with embedded explosives seems plausible.
Not really? Part of what happened with Gaza and Hamas was that Netanyahu (and governments before his) spent a decade taking Hezbollah more seriously than Hamas (for good reason!). They are geared up for a precise and carefully-executed conflict with Hezbollah in ways they were not with Hamas.

At the same time: 100% reasonable to look at today and say "if you can pull off an attack like this, why the fuck are you still leveling apartment buildings in Gaza, after having permanently crippled Hamas months ago". Like, there's a moral dimension to this! But I don't think that dimension is "feel real bad for Hassan Nasrallah". Play stupid games, &c &c.
Battery life is the biggest concern. Recent Phonak hearing aids DO use bluetooth classic (and I assume A2DP), but their battery life when streaming audio is generally considered to be not as good as other hearing aids.

Also, the battery usage is asymmetric, due to the fact that one hearing aid acts as the A2DP sink, and broadcasts audio to the other.
A missile is a demonstration of military force. Everyone in the region knows Israel is capable of blowing up a building.

This is a "we've got you hopelessly compromised as an organization" sort of demonstration that's far more humiliating.

For a similar example, see the US response to 9/11 - two decades of war, taking shoes off at airports, etc. - versus the US response to COVID, which killed a 9/11 worth every couple of days, but resulted in a "but I don't wanna wear a mask" response.

DuckDB is not currently a supported package, but Pandas and matplotlib are which is good. If DuckDB and Polars were supported and if they ran well, I suspect many data jobs could benefit.
Only when a raw input device is enabled. If I remember correctly, Windows will also send the raw input as legacy input messages. With no raw input device registered, the OG message queue is not bloated.
This immediately evoked in my memory David Chiang’s The Lifecycle of Software Objects. Here, though, there is no need for human caretakers to guide the socialization of the NPCs.
But this is not an acceptable reason to chain people like me, who have functional social lives, to your needs.

You need social interaction, so go out and get social interaction.

I don't. So why should employment cater to you rather than me?

First time I watched that I forgot I had the speed set to 1.5 or something so the already fast-talking 1930s mid-atlantic radio announcer voice got exaggerated to a hilarious degree. Especially funny as the first few lines were about the importance of speed!
"Some version of the Iliad most likely became relatively fixed by around the second quarter of the seventh century BCE and a version of the Odyssey by the middle of the same century."

So I suspect this is a clever literary sort of joke, I appreciated it as such. But I was not exactly sure and wanted to talk about it. The two time periods are the same right?
The busy supermarket saw people standing directly beside the target perplexed and completely unharmed. This was extremely localized.

If the child story is true (which is always in question), presumably they were tragically playing with the pager or the like at precisely that time.

However the footage of the attack is overwhelmingly fighting-age males exclusively. As far as military operations go, that is remarkably targeted.
Yes and no. For unskilled labor, probably it doesn't matter that much. For complex projects such as in AWS you need months or sometimes years to onboard new talent and make them catch up with the rest of the team (assuming there is a "rest").
Actually this is probably more accurate than a pistol. Bullets miss and ricochet. Plus other people would fire back, leading to a gun fight and more deaths.
Is it all of Lebanon though? I think Christian and Druze Lebanese don’t like the Hezbollah much anyway. Sure the Shiite south does but no one else.
Trump was just subject to a second assassination attempt. How do you figure Kamala's lie, which she and the moderators knew was a lie, which was intended specifically to demonize a man who had already been subject to one assassination attempt, was somehow a "less real" problem than a lie about a Haitian eating a cat?
That was certainly me 25 years ago. I said I couldn't conceive of not wanting to work when asked about retirement planning by a financial advisor.

Well younger me... I can now. Or at least, to be able to choose what I do regardless of the money.
That's why they said "vice versa".

As a ML person who's also worked on HPC stuff, you will most certainly save money by doing this and there are plenty of benefits. It is generally a good idea, but there is a bit more barrier to entry and you need in house expertise.

So important piece of advice. If you can, hire an admin with HPC experience. If you can't, find ML people with HPC experience. Things you can ask about are slurm, environment modules (this clear sign!), what a flash buffer is, zfs, what they know about pytorch DDP, their linux experience, if they've built a cluster before, adminning linux, and so on. If you need a test, ask them to write a simple bash script to run some task and see if everything has functions and if they know how to do variable defaults. With these guys, they won't know everything but they'll be able to pick up the slack and probably enjoy it. As long as you have more than one. Adminning is a shitty job so if you only have one they'll hate their life.

There are plenty of ML people who have this experience[0], and you'll really reap rewards for having a few people with even a bit of this knowledge. Without this knowledge it is easy to buy the wrong things or have your system run far from efficient and end up with frustrated engineers/researchers. Even with only a handful of people running experiments schedulers (like slurm) still have huge benefits. You can do more complicated sweeps than wandb, batch submit jobs, track usage, allocate usage, easily cut up your nodes or even a single machine into {dev,prod,train,etc} spaces, and much more. Most importantly, a scheduler (slurm) will help prevent your admin from quitting as it'll help prevent them from going into a spiral of frustration.

[0] At least in my experience these tend to be higher quality ML people too, but not always. I think we can infer why there would be a correlation (details).
I mean, if you're trying to embed one language in another, please don't be surprised when the quickstart guide has a couple of examples containing a few lines of code written for the embedding language and its package manager(s).
I remember this from a few years ago, when I requested the code for this from Charlie Miller on Twitter/X (he replied with a link to the code on archive.org). I was trying to use it to fix a MacBook battery, before I realized the cells were actually bad and stopped trying.
>Idk why Amazon employees aren't unionizing over this

Because the people most likely to unionize are exactly the people Amazon dosn't care that much about. If you are a star performer, you are paid gobs of money and treated like royalty. If you're even a decent employee, you make tons of money and are given lots of leeaway.

It's the rest who are the loudest complainers.
It's worth noting that RDX requires a detonator. This requires more space in the device.
Of the two, the only one I've ever personally explored is OpenLLMetry. Extremely cool project. In general, this is one of those areas where the field still needs to "shake out" a bit.
> Men's friendships often involve good natured jabs

It's true, they often do. And I find it to be one of the least valuable and most insecure aspects of friendship. My best relationships with any gender, romantic or otherwise, have involved little or no negging and a whole lot of honest communication and building each other up.
> they didn't figure out a way to make unmodified kit explode

I don’t think so no, just observing the aftermath of each shows that it was modified. Also, assuming it was unmodified way, it will go both ways so I doubt it.
But from many employee's point of view, none of those considerations matter. They have become aware of how awful and soul-sucking offices can be and the impact that has on their lives even outside of work. That's what matters to them, as it should.

Of course, a company can have any policy they want, and people who can't live with those policies have no choice but to seek employment elsewhere.

From a cold business perspective, the real question Amazon and such have to answer is if the loss of those employees is something that they are OK with. It sounds like Amazon's answer to that question is "absolutely yes".
That's the trick, "At a time that's best for me". If I could work like 2 hours in the day and 4-5 at night, I'd have killer productivity, both home and work life.
That doesn't follow. You could have a timer that causes the pager to vibrate as if it had received a message or an alarm had rung. That would make the attack simpler, in that one wouldn't also have to compromise (or risk leaving traces in) the phone system to activate thousands of pagers.
When it says it saves it to its own library, does this mean scans will not appear in Photos? Is there a way to clean up older files in the library?
Ah yes, the selling of emojis and simple file storage.

I miss the GameSurge IRC and caleague with Mumble days.
All of it is so much more work compared to PHP + HTML + CSS (and no JS).
Why did the Hezbollah even leverage beepers in the first place? As in why not just use telegram or signal or some other app of choice?
There's absolutely no reason for uninvolved, random and peaceful civilians to be carrying a classified wartime-ready pager issued by a paramilitary terrorist organization. If you were carrying the device you're either Hezbollah, or cooperating with them - which makes you a legitimate military target.

Israel has given Lebanon and Hezbollah enough ultimatums to stop the aggressions. This is what happens when diplomacy fails.

Lebanon’s objection is specifically due to Israel’s participation, according to Wikipedia:

> Lebanon has never participated in the Eurovision Song Contest. The country's broadcasting organisation, Télé Liban, was set to make the country's debut at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 with the song "Quand tout s'enfuit" performed by Aline Lahoud, but withdrew due to Lebanese laws barring the broadcast of Israeli content.

Thanks a lot for the comment
I'm not moralizing Eurovision participation; in fact, I'm saying there's basically no signal to extract from it at all.
> Equating the Schwarzschild radius for a given blob of matter with the event horizon of a black hole requires that the matter be static or collapsing.

If the space containing the matter is stretching does that still count as expansion?
They would have to be pressed up against the target - even a couple inches away they would not be harmed.

Sure, it's possible theoretically for that to happen, but as a whole, this attack is incredibly precise and targeted.
They get rid of people who might need extra considerations for working, and they keep the employees who they can reliably push around or will compromise in favor of the company. Of course they also lose out on top talent that will go where someone gives them flexibility. But I think they prefer obedience to talent.

Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41558554
Switching to work from home was, without exaggeration, one of the best decisions of my life. I did it a little less than a year before COVID made it pretty much mandatory, so I probably didn't need to quit that old job. But it's okay. Now that I am not exhausted from commuting 90 minutes through hellish traffic, and spending my limited introvert energy dealing with people all day, I feel like a million bucks. I don't have to hunker down all weekend, recuperating from the last week, and preparing for the next. I don't just get back my commute time, it's like I get two extra days every week, during which I am actually capable of enjoying my life.

I recently turned down a very exciting recruiting effort from an old boss, because it would have required me to commute at least two days a week. I cannot think of anything that could entice or threaten me to go back to the office at this point.
I’m saying even that could be time based to ensure it does not depend on the signal being received. Just pretend you got a message and add a delay of a couple seconds.
They recently introduced pagers because they're less trackable than phones. Presumably the ones which have pagers are more important so its probably more impactful than targeting 1 or 2 percent of the regular terrorists.
They've remotely triggered multiple consumer devices simultaneously?
There are companies that understand this and those that don't. For me, asn an employee, the choice is crystal clear.
No just strong language.

It doesn't make a big splash in the news because it tends to be severely ineffectual, but it has been pretty widely and continuously covered.
Those people aren't getting a secure one-way pager giving them secret messages.

They use a standard phone.
My other thought is that these probably came from the Iranian military, and it’s quite possible the Iranian military puts explosives in them so they can remotely detonate one that falls into enemy hands. And that Isreal simply found out about this and managed to figure out how to activate that.
There is a GenAI standard spec from OpenTelemetry for tracing LLM based applications. Currently there are 3 library implementations of this spec - Langtrace, OpenLLMetry and OpenLit. Microsoft has an implementation for .NET aswell. OpenInference, though opentelemetry compatible does not adhere to the standard spec.
Do you have a reference for that? And does it explain how Israel's assassins were sure none of the pagers weren't resold, nor given away, nor that someone's kid was playing with it?
Gaza has fairly low civilian:combatant death ratios, lower than in most comparable urban wars. It's not hard to calculate them, the information is partly public (published by Hamas and IDF). However, many people chose to believe whatever they want to believe instead of going for the facts, I've seen some people come up with numbers ad hoc that are ten times than what Hamas reports, or they claim IDF has basically not killed any Hamas combatants at all.
They must really be in desperate need for more conflict to keep their population at bay. For Netanyahu certainly conflicts come at a convenient time. First he tried to swing himself up to dictator like figure, taking away power from judiciary, tens of thousands of people go to protest. Then October 7 happens. Suddenly a war keeps him in power. Now that that has been going on, and hundreds of thousands are on the streets, they are doing many things to provoke another conflict/war. I think if they fail to keep Israel in a war-like state, his days will be over quickly. He knows that, so he tries to escalate. Not that Iran and their allies aren't provoking and escalating either, but for Netanyahu this is all very convenient.
Not very, because Vance isn't very old. When was he in the KKK? It would be very unusual to be in the KKK in, say, 1995. Someone would have to be extremely committed to white supremacist ideology to be in such a position, I would think.
This is really interesting.. does anyone who knows more about Gauss's proof know why you can construct a 5 sided polygon with ruler and compass, but not a 7 or 11 sided polygon? Why do some primes work and others not?
This is all semantic bullshit. I could raise a child devoid of any outside contact and teach them that klingons enslave our people and we must hide in the woods. Things you see in the skies are their hunting machines. They could completely "know that" and its a total fabrication.
Not only that, but Amazon is of such a scale and such a segment, that hording high end intellectual capital is not likely to have any great impact on their results in any case. They're the closest thing in today's world to what would be in any sci fi dystopia world a global company that runs everything from taxis to health care. There just are not any other companies like Amazon, with the exception of Alibaba which is like Amazon on steroids.

At this point, the use of companies like Amazon or Alibaba is kind of necessary to get by for most people. Even those who don't use it, are using it indirectly. Via using apps and sites running on Amazon. Via going to stores supplied by Amazon. And on and on and on. The tentacles are everywhere.
To be honest forcing your employees into the office looks really desperate. It makes me think Amazon is in real trouble if they can’t create a website remotely and need to physically force employees into a big building to try to get them to produce.

That’s not good for public image and if I were a shareholder I’d be planning for an exit.
> If you were carrying the device you're either Hezbollah, or cooperating with them - which makes you a legitimate military target.

Or you were standing in line next to a guy holding one while waiting to buy groceries. It’s clearly indiscriminate to the collateral damage.
It could be, but it would be very risky. These pagers would have been distributed months in advance. How could you possibly know the perfect time to set them off?

And since pagers are already receiving remote messages, it doesn't make sense to do it any other way.
A pint of Haagen-Dazs is about a thousand calories - that's an hour of jogging at 5mph for a person that weights 280 lbs.

> our culture has trained us to take rhyme less seriously

I was surprised to learn this about Anglo culture (that rhyme is associated with childishness), as in Hungarian poetry all serious works (up to, say, the mid-20th century) are in rhyme. Sad and serious or happy and joking, rhyme is just expected. In fact, if something doesn't rhyme, then the average Hungarian would say it can't by definition be poetry (even if they know about "free" poems).
Fair enough, and thanks for being open about this. With this in mind, all I can say is that your original comment is based on 100% emotion and 0% analysis and rationality.

Does Hamas have military infrastructure in dedicated buildings at all?
(Strict) Typed Python isn't that bad either, and LLMs seem to be quite good at generating that, given how popular Python is.

Unfortunately, it tends to generate outdated types (e.g. `List` instead of `list`, `Optional[T]` instead of `T | None`, import `Iterable` from `typing` instead of `collections.abc`), so you always need to tell it to use the right one.
