Only in a very vague sense. The aether theories were looking to explain two things: 1, how a transverse wave, like light, can propagate in a vacuum; and 2, why does the speed of light appear to not respect Galilean relativity?

The solution for both was posited to be a physical medium permeating space that had certain special properties, including very low interactions with other matter (explaining why we didn't directly detect it). Light would only propagate in this medium, and since this medium interacted very little with other matter, it explained why it wouldn't be dragged along by, say, a moving train. The speed of light would be mostly determined by the speed of this universal medium, explaining the constancy of the speed of light.

Current physics has nothing to do with these theories. The medium for light's propagation is the electric field, which is not a material medium at all. And Galilean relativity doesn't agree with Maxwell's equation because it is wrong - we have Einstein's special relativity as the successor explanation, and this doesn't require any kind of medium, and doesn't say anything about space-time waves.

General relativity does see space-time as something that looks more like a medium, except that, like the electric field and unlike aether, it is still not a material medium. And gravity waves have absolutely nothing to do with the aether wind. Gravity waves are specific phenomena triggered by specific events. They have a source and a direction of propagation like any other wave, and differenet gravity waves move in different directions. The aether wind was a fixed universal thing: all of the aether in the entire universe moved in a single direction, and had no source.

If you want to look at something that's actually closer to a modern aether, the quantum models of the void are actually much closer. Per quantum mechanics, all of space-time is permeated by fields and random fluctuations in those fields ensure that there exist virtual particles getting created and destroyed at every point in spacetime. So, in QM, there actually exists a physical medium that does permeate all of spacetime (but it doesn't have any of the other properties of the aether).

There's going to be a long tail of low-earners, with the top end of the earning scale being a vanishingly small number of creators.

It's also important to remember something that is perhaps unstated in the context of this article: this is about couples who may continue to have their traditional full-time job, but are able to reduce their hours or efforts through pivoting to self-employment or so-called lifestyle businesses that may even cross-promote their social media work. Also, just because you're getting paid predominantly via advertisers doesn't preclude you from having other kinds of remuneration from the same work, such as ad-free and/or early access to paid subscribers via Patreon. Also, TikTok and Youtube live broadcasts can be paywalled or restricted to only allow comments during the livestream chat by paid subs. TikTok and Youtube also support direct tipping mechanisms, like Super Chats.

I haven't even mentioned other kinds of revenue stream enhancement, like a second channel you can use to cross-promote you main channel. Many creators stream on Twitch these days also, even or perhaps especially if their main content isn't gaming related.

One of my favorite comedians, for example, probably makes a ton more from his Twitch streams than he does from comedy shows, and this is someone who has had multiple seasons of his own sketch show on broadcast tv, which was later syndicated via Netflix.

Israel did withdraw from Lebanon though, this wasn't effective at all at promoting peace as we're now seeing, and same thing has happened in Gaza; Israel did uproot all the settlers from Gaza and there was no single Israeli soldier left in Gaza - you can say the Gaza withdrawal was incomplete but saying it never happened at all is incorrect.
Unfortunately Israelis only learned that withdrawals from enemies who have sworn to destroy you only make things worse for them.

There are really two types of investors we have to regard here. One is ordinary landlords, but landlords buying properties and renting them out isn't a problem; the more of them there are the lower rents get and then the fewer of them they are. It naturally finds equilibrium.

The other type is global institutional investors who are using real estate as a substitute/diversification against government bonds and then not renting it out, because their desire is for a stable investment rather than high risk high reward. Because of artificial constraints in the housing supply, appreciation in housing prices has been beating the bond market without even renting the properties out, and renting them out is actually a risk because bad tenants in jurisdictions with adverse landlord-tenant laws can be a huge problem. So they just buy up whatever is available and take profits as property appreciation rather than rent.

The second type of investor is obviously really bad for housing affordability, but it also only happens when construction is restricted from increasing supply to meet demand, because otherwise the property itself wouldn't appreciate faster than inflation and would make a poor investment in the absence of rental income.

> The only reason the U.S. cares about Hezbollah is because they attack Israel. The only reason Hezbollah exists is because of Israel

You can't know that. The Iranian Islamic revolution happened not because of Israel. Iran would have probably tried to gain influence through proxies and destabilize the Middle East regardless of Israel. It would have joined forces with Russia and China. It would have probably tried acquiring nuclear weapons and it would have hated the U.S (which it calls Big Satan to this day).
In short Iran would have been a huge headache and security risk for the U.S and the West even if Israel didn't exist imo.
The U.S is definitely strong enough to deal with Iran without Israel, but its helpful to have allies in a very very unstable neighborhood.

I'd bet that there are corners of non-UB vlaid programs that would be sensitive to the fact that pointers are no longer simple numbers, but maybe that's wrong or at least could be worked around.

I would add that to make this memory safe for multi-threaded programs, you also need to implcitly synchronize on fat pointer accesses, to prevent corrupted pointers from forming.

I use Kiwi Browser on Android, which is a Chrome-based browser with extension support. I have a userscript that gradually fades out and desaturates social media pages in 8 minutes. After 4-5 minutes, pages fade out so much that you are forced to stop scrolling and it's not enjoyable anymore.

The same can be done on Firefox, which supports installing Tampermonkey for managing userscripts.
I have a way simpler explanation. IEEE 754 double can only represent integers up to 2^53 without precision loss, so if you naively average two numbers greater than 2^52, you get an erroneous result.

It just so happens that 2^52 nanoseconds is a little bit over 52 days.

I've seen the same thing with AMD CPUs where they hang after ~1042 days which is 2^53 10-nanosecond intervals.

> just register a digital business and make one euro, an average American would cry out laughing.

At least in my country (France) it's not any harder than registering as an independent worker (you often use the exact same legal vehicle for both).

The real problem with European tech is that it's too easy for US company to land on the continent, and since they have a biggest market to begin with they always end up stronger than European companies when it comes to addressing the other European markets. The “single market” is a fantasy, every country has its own language, culture and business practices, things that EU's homogenization of regulations between country since the 80s have never overcome and never could have, and because of that it's not harder for an American company to do business in an EU country that it is for another European country.

Since forced homogenization isn't gonna do it, the correct approach would be to put barriers to foreign entry like Evey successful Asian country did in the second half of the 20th century with great success.

I'm not claiming this reality isn't horrific I'm just not seeing many examples of wars fought better. Did the U.S do it better in Vietnam or Iraq?

> They knew about the devices in 1985, a few years after construction started in 1979 and construction didn't finish till 2000.

That happened due to the bugs found. This is the point I'm making. If your goal was to keep them where they were already are (Mokhovaya House) then the bag full of diodes mixed into the concrete did that perfectly for like 15ish years.

> They probably knew earlier than 1985.

Doesn't change that argument.

> So it probably wasn't a big deal and would've cost the SU a lot and they were less able to afford it.

We are talking about a few bags of diodes vs rebuilding three stories of the building with imported workers. This was a very cost efficient attack.

Actually, “apply a random matrix” is often the solution to a large dimensional space involving near neighbours.

The Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma asserts that a multiplying by a random matrix (some conditions apply, but iirc rotation matrices satisfy them) keeps, in many senses, the distances between points even if the dimension drops very significantly (some conditions apply but usually satisfied by real world data)

This is, in fact, the theoretical underpinning of compressed sensing.
> Additionally, it's pretty much guaranteed that if an airplane comes with a RAT the RAT is required to be functional for ETOPS flights. That alone means you're gonna be inspecting it pretty frequently.

I remember a decade or more ago I was on a US domestic flight - I forget exactly what, I think it was American from SFO to LAX - so I doubt it needed ETOPS. But the captain announced - while we were still at the gate - that he was getting an error in the cockpit saying the RAT was faulty. And he called maintenance, and they told him to try resetting something (a computer or circuit breaker or whatever) to see if that cleared the error - and when it didn’t, he announced we could not take off and would all have to go back into the terminal. Thankfully they had a spare plane a few gates over and they put us all on that (same crew, same passengers) so we only lost an hour or two.
Not really, those are using PIR motion sensors to wake up, so you'd need to be able to capture the burst of activity when the camera actually wakes up and takes a picture. PIR circuit is very low power, so not much RF energy to detect while it's sleeping..
> Claude's ability to count pixels and interact with a screen using precise coordinate

I guess you mean its "Computer use" API that can (if I understand correctly) send mouse click at specific coordinates?

I got excited thinking Claude can finally do accurate object detection, but alas no. Here's its output:

> Looking at the image directly, the SPACE key appears near the bottom left of the keyboard interface, but I cannot determine its exact pixel coordinates just by looking at the image. I can see it's positioned below the letter grid and appears wider than the regular letter keys, but I apologize - I cannot reliably extract specific pixel coordinates from just viewing the screenshot.

This is 3.5 Sonnet (their most current model).

And they explicitly call out spatial reasoning as a limitation:

> Claude’s spatial reasoning abilities are limited. It may struggle with tasks requiring precise localization or layouts, like reading an analog clock face or describing exact positions of chess pieces.

--https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/vision#...

Since 2022 I occasionally dip in and test this use-case with the latest models but haven't seen much progress on the spatial reasoning. The multi-modality has been a neat addition though.

That article you linked does not support your claims at all. The UN was pressured by Israel to send a delegation, but they would not cooperate fully and refused a full investigation.

From the UN report [1]:

>In the medicolegal assessment of available photos and videos, no tangible indications of rape could be identified.

>The mission team examined several allegations of sexual violence. It must be noted that
witnesses and sources with whom the mission team engaged adopted over time an increasingly
cautious and circumspect approach regarding past accounts, including in some cases retracting
statements made previously. Some also stated to the mission team that they no longer felt
confident in their recollections of other assertions that had appeared in the media.

>It was determined by the mission team that the
crime scene had been altered by a bomb squad and the bodies moved, explaining the separation of the body of the girl from the rest of her family. Allegations of objects found inserted in female genital organs also could not be verified by the mission team due in large part to the limited availability and low quality of imagery.

How does any of this information from the report lead you to believe that the allegations of mass rape are 'very credible'?

See this interview from Pramila Patten who is the special representative that wrote this report [2]

>“May I just ask, why not put the responsibility and blame the atrocities quite simply on the perpetrators and say, ‘it was Hamas who did it?’” the host demanded.

>Patten replied that the mission of her visit to Israel was “only for the purpose of gathering and analyzing information,” not for attributing alleged crimes to any perpetrator.

>“It is pretty clear who did it, after talking to survivors who returned – it wasn’t the Belgians who did it,” chortled the host.

>“I think it’s up to your government to give access, and that was one of my first recommendations,” Patten responded.

I would suggest you stop peddling these baseless allegations as these lies are being used to justify civilian massacres to this day.
