Well, this is why Signal is fine while the Telegram boss is in jail. As long as you haven't done anything illegal (and aren't explicitly trying to enable illegal activity), it's perfectly fine to just say "we can't do this." I'm really for this; being able to inspect users' data should be a liability.
Nagorno-Karabakh, Ossetia, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War, and Emus (and conduct in Afghanistan) disprove your point.
If the Geneva Conventions (among other agreements) which you're so determined to ignore didn't exist, then you may have been right.

But, they do, and you're wrong.

You're also moving goalposts. Are you still standing by your statement that war has no rules/morality?

> you're setting yourself up to be dismissed as someone who believes "a war crime is when Israel does war".

Israel set themselves up for that belief, not me.

By doing war crimes. A lot of them. Like this one.

Consider, if you would, that this effort to move the Overton Window on what constitutes war crimes is severely misguided. And you really ought to stop.

I suppose there's an exception for Larry Ellison?

Because AI might hallucinate some bad behavior, and that just doesn't matter for peons?

"It's good to be king."
Yeah. The hallmark is they reference some document by Martin Fowler. That's a red flag for me.

I would add - one of the symptoms of this type of over-abstraction is what you could call the "where tf" problem. Any time you need to do anything it's really hard to figure out where

1) ...the thing you're trying to fix actually happens so you can fix it

2) ...the new feature you're trying to add should actually be added

3) ...it's going wrong when it's going slow/not scaling/stalling somehow

...because in reality the answer to the question "where" is always "all over the place". And that means you typically need to make several small changes in various places to do anything. So you've papered over the intrinsic complexity of the system and you have a really nice looking whiteboard but the complexity is now distributed in a bunch of places so it's conceptually complex and much harder for a dev to actually get their arms around the whole system and understand it fully. And you now have a false sense of security because you have great test coverage but the kind of problem you now face isn't caught by tests. Because typically the type of problem you hit is you should have made 6 changes in different places to implement your feature but you've forgotten one and only implemented 5. So the system is now semantically broken in some way even though all the tests pass.

Thanks for checking it out and for your comment!

I agree with your take on cf - the idea is that cf could be seamlessly removed for whatever db you want to use. The important detail is that an individual user has the account and ownership of the data. I think long-term what I'm really trying to describe is an open API for the social/emergent web.
I'm not saying that the statement "I want this button to be bigger" can't be formalized. I'm saying that there is no formal process you can follow to get from this problem to a formal problem that is equivalent. There isn't even a formal process you can use to check if a formal definition is equivalent to this problem.

Consider that if someone asked you solve this problem for them with just this statement, either of the following could be a sketch of a more formal statement of what they actually want:

1. In a given web page, the css class used for a particular <button> element should be changed to make the button's height larger by 10%, without changing any other <button> element on the page, or any other dimension.

2. For a particular piece of garment that you are given, the top most button must be replaced with a different button that appears to have the same color and finish to a human eye, and that has the same 3D shape up to human observational precision, but that has a radius large enough to not slip through the opposing hole under certain forces that are commonly encountered, but not so large that it doesn't fit in the hole when pushed with certain forces that are comfortable for humans.

I think you would agree that (a) someone who intended you to solve either of these problems might reasonably describe them with the statement I suggested, and (b), that it would be very hard to devise a formal mathematical process to go from that statement to exactly one of these statements.
Is this a repost? I swear I've seen a similar post recently with near-identical responses.
Generally, the problem with the type of search VSCode does is:
1. It returns zero results because you made a typo or added a term that doesn’t exist in any document. Codebased uses semantic search so it’s better at this, but if you typed in something random, i.e. “argle bargle” it won’t return results.
2. It returns too many results and they’re not guaranteed to be in order of relevance. This can happen if you type in a commonly used function or class name. Codebased actually ranks code blocks using BM25 and L2 distance before sending them to the reranker for even better results.
The US system has got you good.

The intended purpose of a corporation is to do something. Profit shouldn't be a goal in of itself, it's a consequence of successfully doing something.

Revenue is good, as it employs people and keeps society churning, but this slavish devotion to the idea that companies only exist to make profits is alien; it's the personification of greed.

Many companies exist because the founder had a passion for actually doing something, and they can make money doing it. If they chased only profit, their life would be miserable.
To be clear - this is 55lbs for 5kwh of power in a 22v nominal pack. You will need more than one to get to 20 miles of range in an aftermarket conversion, and you will still have to add 100+lbs of motor on top, in addition to cooling/wiring/electronics.

I see this system coming in around 300lbs on the low side.

Again - the battery is not the system, and this is still 100lbs of battery to get to 20m of range in an aftermarket conversion.

95g, USB-C rechargeable up to 85 days of operation, separate control and charging boards, multiple replaceable components for easy maintenance.

Probably lots of ways to free up space, most notably by using a smaller battery but with a few resources you could probably combine the boards and probably not even be obvious ("generation 2, less expensive to produce"). With state-actor level resources new boards would be easy as would something concealed within a LiPo battery.
How would this be an escalation trigger after a year of missiles and airstrikes with 1000 Hezbollah dead and 100k civilians displaced on each side?
If you aren't targeting occupied residences with the JDAM (like Israel does through the Where's Daddy? program) then feasibly you could end up with less civilian attrition using the JDAMs. Distributed fragmentation explosives with no fire control system are arguably more dangerous than a direct-attack munition targeting a military installation.
Small charges (measured in grams) are extremely local and typically highly directional. They have a distinctive signature that is in evidence here. It isn't like a giant bomb going off.

That's an interesting idea, and it wouldn't even need a firmware hack... a real time clock circuit with a specific date/time to detonate would be simpler and easier to coordinate simultaneous detonation.
My disagreement was semantic. Wasn't yours?

My overall point is that the end of education is expertise, which itself is a form of ignorance. We generally consider stupidity and expertise to be antonyms, but they often exist as two opposing perspectives of the same experience.
A time traveler probably would not want to risk exposure, as most governments would want to capture and torture him for information. An interesting question would be, could an event be set up that allows a time traveler to reveal himself while retaining some form of plausible deniability?
I think they burned an asset right before the last time they had a window to use it. Maybe even on accident.

Dumb and cruel, could have used it to nearly the same effect by just telling hezbollah.

There are lots of areas of math grad school that are well understood. Pretty much everything up to quals (and some beyond that) is well known and teaching methods are far from absent.
Hezbollah also has a massive social services wing, operating hospitals, schools, etc. I'd keep that in mind when hitching my wagon to this line of thinking.

A shaped charge need not be unidirectional. It could be focuses along an axis, resulting in a two-way explosion that would be more damaging than a symmetrical one. Two copper disks on either side of the charge would constitute a functional two-way shaped charged.

Sucks for some of us with family in Lebanon but I doubt I'll be seen as human either. I won't name-and-shame, but I've worked at YC-sponsored startups that have asked me verbatim "How does it feel being a goyim, in [your] experience?"

That is not a joke, unfortunately. Thankfully I didn't think highly of YC in the first place so it wasn't horribly shocking.
Hamas =/= Hezbollah, even though they have a common enemy and their alliances overlap.
Israel's neighbors are all invited to the Eurovision, and decline to participate because Israel is involved.
> You have to hand it to them -- it's a clever strategy with minimal casualties outside of your enemy

I agree it’s clever, but there are reports now of thousands wounded. Feels like a lot of collateral risk, if these people who were targeted were out and about (grocery shopping, bank, etc.)
Indiscriminate in the sense that bombs have an area of effect beyond the person carrying them, so they couldn't possibly account for collateral damage when firing them all at once, and a conscious decision was made that any unlucky civilians are fair game. Indiscriminate in the same sense as dropping a bunker buster on a residential block because you believe there's a handful of terrorists inside, or nuking two cities to "encourage" a military surrender.

If you believe this tactic was just, then I trust that if Mossad obliterated your child in the process of assassinating an enemy of Israel who happened to be nearby then you would be able to forgive and forget, since it was for the greater good and they tried their best. Even if they were targeting the wrong person, as it sometimes goes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillehammer_affair

Incidentally when they later killed the actual target of that operation they did so by detonating a 100kg car bomb on a public road, also killing 4 civilians and injuring 16 others.
I also hate this behavior. My understanding is that it doesn't get noticed by native users as it's not an issue when the JP input is the only input, so it's mainly an issue for language learners.

It's been on my mind to try the google IME for some time, to see if it fixes this issue, but haven't got around trying it yet.
Adding to this: I like looking at graphs like https://calendar.perfplanet.com/images/2021/leon/image1.png . In this particular example, the "lzma" (ie xz) line crosses the zstd line, meaning that xz will be compress faster for some target ratios, zstd for others. Meanwhile zlib is completely dominated by zstd.

Different machines and different content will change the results, as will the optimization work that's gone into these libraries since someone made that chart in 2021.

I agree. Being published by a big name gives you some credibility right away.
The issue I personally had with the publisher I signed with (one that you mentioned) is the quality of their products. And I don't mean this specific publisher: it's the whole industry that is mostly broken. I'm not even talking about the content here, only the presentation.

Most publishers can't provide good syntax highlighting for their programming books: mine didn't provide any (we're in 2024 and it's supposedly their domain of expertise so I'm baffled), and their ePub books are generally almost unreadable.
I didn't want to make my readers pay $35 or $40 for a book that doesn't provide the basics of what you could expect from a programming book.
In my case, the challenge was even bigger cause my book is about two programming languages and I needed syntax highlighting for both and a different theme for each. I don't think I've seen this anywhere yet in the "professional" programming book industry.
If the pagers all belong to military targets is this a war crime?
It means basically that all war is a crime. Which from an idealistic point of view I agree, but that's not how the world works.

Rockets are fired to the Israeli north for a year now, about a 200k civilians are evacuated for a year now because the rockets are mostly randomly targeted.

a 3 yo Israeli baby is still held hostage by hamas, never meeting the red cross.

Are these war crimes?
"My breath froze into pink pretzels." was the only bit of the excerpt I found interesting. I suppose pretzel is a bit of a kitschy choice for the centre of a metaphor, but the overall effect of it was to raise some interesting questions: is there a breathable atmosphere for humans that could precipitate pink ice breath? is our protagonist even human? is there a shop nearby selling Judaism-adjacent baked goods?
Your other comment got auto-killed because m*sturbating is a flagged word.

That aside, I was only referring to private communications. Moderation in a public server is different, and there should be more visibility for server admins. With that said, Discord has been improving moderation tools, and I'm not sure how trolls can be stopped as long as making (or stealing) an account is easy. Remove that aspect, and half the reason for using Discord is gone.
israel wasn't identified as israel, and hizbolla weren't identified of hizbolla

much of the work of a CIA or Mossad agent isn't breaking in to this house or murdering that person. It's working as an executive in a shell company

No one is going to sell a terrorist organization thousands of new beepers. The hizbolla probably also created shell companies. Israel knew their cover and approached them as a foreign seller. Everyone is lying to everyone

In reality the supply chain space is probably full of shell companies from all different terrorist organizations and western countries
It is still way more difficult to localize a local oscillator (especially one that's trying even slightly to shield itself) than something trying to transmit to a tower a few miles away.

Hezbollah operates a parallel telecommunications network. They are not a terrorist group so much as the de facto government of Lebanon and a parallel armed forces. It is unlikely that anyone unaffiliated with Hezbollah could have used these pagers.
Many of them, yes.
I stand corrected and Minkles is right. Hezbollah is defeated.
Indeed, and I find that my humanities/law-inclined smart friends don't reading math texts is supposed to make you feel this way. They read through a 100 pages of law textbooks and at no part do they feel dumbfounded by a paragraph or get stuck on a page for an hour. It's hard to learn it for sure, but you can read and read and read it. Reading math, on the other hand, is a staccato, a constant stop and go (and flip the pages back). One evening I might only progress 5 pages in the math textbooks because I stop after half a page to draw some sketches, some diagrams. Then I stand up and walk up and down the corridor for 10 minutes thinking things through and whether my current understanding makes sense and adds up to explain what I just read.
But they aren't familiar with this mode of reading and working though a text, they think they are stupid or "non-math" people for not getting the meaning instantly, like they would in a book about law or marketing.
Iraq War deaths are actually kind of lower than you'd expect them to be. Low enough if that if you want to score him, GWB is net positive because of PEPFAR. It's so good it saved many more lives than even two pointless wars lost.
Does anyone know solid (not SaaS, obviously) solution for scraping these days? It's getting pretty hard to get around some pretty harmless cases (like bulk-downloading MY OWN gpx tracks from some fucking fitness-watch servers), with all these js tricks, countless redirects, cloudflare and so on. Even if you already have the cookies, getting non-403 response to any request is very much not trivial. I feel like it's time to upgrade my usual approach of python requests+libxml, but I don't know if there is a library/tool that solves some of the problems for you.
It was reported in Turkish news (allegedly via IRGC on X) that pagers are all Motorola branded, and supposedly at least include the Motorola LX-2 model.[1][2] However, the provided image of a Motorola LX-2 is also the first image on the Wikipedia English page for pagers.

There is also a photo circulating of a destroyed pager[3] which has visible writing "Distri: GOLD" and "Model: AP" (or "AR"). This has been matched to the Gold Apollo AR-924 model pager that is manufactured in Taiwan and is not a Motorola pager.[4][5][6][etc][7][8][9]

I don’t think the “US dime” will be coming as lavishly irrespective of the composition and allegiances of the Biden admin. This is a major election issue, and Harris is wobbly even without this.
Sure. But even many high-caliber research mathematicians can’t do Putnam problems in a heartbeat. If we get to the point where an LLM can solve any homework problem that appears in a textbook, including graduate textbooks, that would already be something like a “lemma prover” if not a full-blown “theorem prover”.

Anyway, I think five years ago I was skeptical that ML would even get to the point of being able to solve competition problems, and I was proven wrong, so my priors have been updated.

Most of the time, tags don't seem to cause much problems but sometimes there can be some effects [1].

Conservation efforts can be effective if evidence is needed in order to fight against further land destruction (such as property development), especially when migratory birds use small but important areas for stopovers.

On the other hand, a lot of conservation research is merely clarifying somewhat obvious problems, but the current capitalistic system is very inefficient when it comes to dealing with these problems: in it, you must hit people over the head with the obvious, because people are more attached to money than preserving our ecosystems. If we were smart, we could do more with much less research.

If it wasn't, then it sounds like the problem was with your friend, wasting everyone's time with a pedestrian analysis that benefited nothing except for their own ego, so they can be heard, so they can climb that all-important neurotypical status ladder, so they can put another insignificant bullet point on their C.V.

What makes sense is going back to the last durable cessation of hostilities, not tracing every event back to the Battle of Jericho.
Bingo. You can breeze through all levels of education with a combination of personality and picking the right courses. Your faculty tend to be overworked and underpaid for the work they do. You are one of hundreds. They do not exist to make sure you're actually learning anything, just that you can spit back the course content appropriately.

But once you get over the barrier to entry for most white-collar jobs (bachelor degree), what's the point? If you're not getting anything out of the education, you're only borrowing trouble from yourself in the future.

My bachelor's was relatively easy. My masters was MASSIVELY difficult. The PhD was even harder.

Because I sought out those difficulties.
