> Israel has had the means of destroying all of Gaza and bulldozing the debris into the sea for decades.

This is a really weak argument. Just because you have the means of a greater damage, that doesn’t absolve you of the damage you did cause. If I punch you in the face, I won’t be found not-guilty just because there was a fire extinguisher near by and in theory I could have caused a much greater harm.

This argument is doubly bad because Israel has destroyed all of Gaza. Almost everybody who lives there has been displaced. Most of everyone’s house is damaged or destroyed, almost everybody know somebody that has died, or is seriously wounded. The entire health care system has collapsed, the entire public order has collapsed, and people are constantly hungry. This is a textbook example of the destruction of a place.

> Even in this campaign they've been objectively trying to reduce civilian casualties despite it's detrimental effect on their military objective.

They have not. There are evidence of a pattern of conduct of civilians being targeted and killed on a regular basis by the IDF. This includes x-rays of photos of children’s skulls that have been shot in the head by an Israeli sniper, the share number of civilians killed and the statistical unlikelyhood that all these civilians were killed merely by accident, the previously mentioned destruction of the healthcare system and public order, etc. All of this combined is more than enough evidence that Israel is intending to bring about the destruction of Gaza in order to make civilian life impossible.

Using the word Genocide in the context is very appropriate and is being done by most experts on the matter, human rights organizations, international organizations, governments, etc.
> For one, gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct rarely suggests illegal moves, even in the late game.

It's claimed that this model "understands" chess, and can "reason", and do "actual logic" (here in the comments).

I invite anyone making that claim to find me an "advanced amateur" (as the article says of the LLM's level) chess player who ever makes an illegal move. Anyone familiar with chess can confirm that it doesn't really happen.

Is there a link to the games where the illegal moves are made?

> Plastics that can metabolize in oceans are highly sought for a sustainable future.

Really? I think that putting more nutrients in the water is almost as bad as having plastics floating around. The Baltic sea for example, have dead zones caused by agricultural runoff.

Surely, the best would be to not put more stuff in the water?

I am using Unitful.jl for some complex electromagnetics code I am developing. Although it makes the definition of types and constructors more complicated, it has helped me find several subtle bugs in the equations. Forcing the type system to keep track of measurement units has pros and cons, but so far, the advantages are more significant than the cons.
To the reports about "sunsetting" ChromeOS and/or merging it with Android I can only say: good riddance! I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Duet Chromebook back in 2020, but the performance (with the dreaded interminable Linux out-of-memory hangs when having too many tabs open in the browser) and battery life were consistently worse than comparable Android tablets, so by now it's mostly gathering dust...

The Netherlands had a famine (created by the Nazi occupiers) that lasted for one winter[0]. England had to ration their food. I did a quick look for famines in WW2, and Germany, Belgium and France are not mentioned as having similar experiences[1].

Then again, skimming through the article: Greece and Austria did have a famine (with more deaths than the Netherlands too), Germany experienced a famine in 1918, and in Italy "food consumption fell from a pre-war mean of about 2,600 calories a day to 1,900 calories by 1944; classic famine symptoms may have been absent, but both infant mortality and deaths from infectious and respiratory diseases rose"

So clearly this isn't the whole story since I've never heard anyone complain about Austrian or Greek food. One thing that stands out to me is that the "bad food" countries the religiocultural heritage is mainly protestantism, whereas in the "good food" countries it is catholic (or orthodox in the case of Greece). I can't speak for England, but Dutch Protestantism has the mentality of "having fun is a sin, so don't", whereas Catholicism is more like "sure, but Jesus died for our sins so bring on the indulgences!" if I understand correctly. So that might be a part of it. At the very least the protestants lack events like carnival that celebrate good food!

How does Germany's northern (protestant) food culture compare to its southern food culture? That might be a decent litmus test for this.

Not a lot of information, just the photo and a paragraph blurb beneath it.

What I'm wondering is why the alleged "first" picture of this kind is of a star 160,000 light years away. There are hundreds of millions of stars in that distance range from us. I suppose there may be a reasonable explanation having to do with optimal visibility or something, but my intuition is completely failing here.
I think you're missing the forest for the trees. Male sexuality is indeed surprised even moreso than female sexuality. There are opportunities to flaunt the latter, but the "ideal male body" is exactly part of how people get into the alt right pipeline.

It starts with objectively good advice like "work out and go to the gym to get a good body". Which is surprisingly on the downside in K-12 education. Then it drips in the narrative: "revenge training" to get fit not for your self-esteem but to make a bad breakup regret it, then into the "sigma male grindset", then if you do all this and you still aren't appealing it must be because of women. You worked hard, they don't get it or are too picky, or are looking for some famed gigachad with 8 packs and making 200k a year.

It's a slow drip into the pipeline.

----

tangent: but in media male sexuality is much more suppressed too. You can show quite a bit of nudity in R rated films, but absolutely not a boner in any way 99% of the time. I don't think that changes much in society, food for thought.

You can, but ultimately there are male issues that are much easier to confide with males on. Especially about women. It's no different from why women need some female role models.

I have a large rectangular handheld magnifying glass. I 'think' it was designed for map reading. I only really use it for inspecting electronics though. I can get by with reading glasses when reading a book as long as the light conditions are good. A good reading lamp really helps and I didn't think it would make such a difference.

It took me a long time to get used to reading glasses though. Eventually age just forced the issue though.
Microsoft did this by sacrificing other features of object storage that S3 and GS had since the beginning, primarily performance, automatic scaling, unlimited provisioning and cross-sectional (region wide) bandwidth. Azure blob storage did not have parity on those features back in 2015 and data platform applications could not be implemented on top of it as a result. Since then they fixed some of these, but there are still areas where Azure lacks scaling features that are taken for granted on AWS and GCP.
hey. notice: i work for mailtrap.io but I have domain knowledge

It's always better to separate your transactional and bulk (marketing traffic). We do it as well as it's also best practices recommended by Gmail (use different IPs, and even subdomains).
Also another thing is suppression list: as somebody marks you bulk email as Spam, they still can receive their e.g. pass reset emails.

It's probably nothing cheaper than SES, but you probably need more time with it. And if you have any issues with deliverability - you are on your own. Postmark or we provide support, UI, etc for extra costs.

Shipment insurance is normally an optional add-on. IMO, if the shipper doesn’t get it, it is on them.

It is nicer for the shipper to decide the value and pay the corresponding price for that. Because you need to know the replacement value of that lost item. This is dependent on all kinds of factors.

When I started working and got hold of code and research, I made an app to make a knowledge system, but at some point I got the same realization, they don’t really have any advantage to a group of people. They are hard to read as well. I actually sold my first iterations to another company, but don’t think anything came out of it, other than a nice visual in their main app.
That just makes package names harder to remember and type (and actually less secure as more prone to typosquatting and backdoors in seamingly harmless pull requests) for no benefit.

Keep in mind that the majority of package by far don't come from companies in the first place, and requiring individual developers to have a domain of their own isn't particularly welcoming.

It's going to be tons of complexity for zero actual benefit.

I need to worry about it if I'm using it in an app. In what job you don't need to worry about what code are you executing? This is the whole point. It makes my job much harder to do, much more hidden and arcane - not worth it to save few characters.

Yes, reflection is a mistake. It's a hotfix for problems caused by OOP. It's not actually necessary.

TypeScript is a good example. Some people write it like Java/C#, with classes, inheritance, reflection, dependency injection. Usually I can get that code down to 20-30% of original size after I cut out the last class (then I forbid the keyword in linter), and none of that is actually necessary or improved the situation.

Even ignoring everything else: "making jobs" is a bipartisan good move. No one is ever going to carry on the promise of "I will make less jobs" and survive long in office. And the last thing you want when you're pretending the economy is good when it isn't is to further raise the unemployment rate.

This is a false promise.

Interesting choice to go with a PI who's focused on recovery rather than criminal convinctions. Given the lack of sophistication in this operation, I suspect recovery would have happened either way, and the thieves might have faced some actual consequences. As is, they didn't lose anything other than the stolen items and will likely continue to capitalize on similar opportunities in the future.
What is wrong with the following solution?

Any trait implementations where the type and trait are not local are:

* Private, and cannot be exported from a crate

* The local trait implementation always overrides any external implementation

That would solve part of the problem right? Only crate libraries that want to offer trait implementations for external traits/types are not possible, but that might be a good thing.

The solution proposed by the author with implicits is quite complex, I can see why it wasn't chosen.
Is there any scenario where someone would knowingly decide not to take insurance on a 400k shipment? What would be the reason for doing so?

In this case the shipper is the company behind the Playdate, so it seems weird to me they wouldn't insure their own stock. But maybe there's a good reason why this isn't done?
The last time I followed Pidgin development was a while ago, but I'm actively using it for various protocols (slack, discord, googlechat, skype), so I'm curious about the decision to break the API.

I understand that the Pidgin community is small, so claiming that "the other protocols will eventually be supported" seems unrealistic. This change requires the community to take on unnecessary porting work and we are already dealing with constant protocol changes, playing whack-a-mole with protocol providers.

For instance, this guy [1] is doing incredible work, but I doubt he will want to invest his time in unnecessary rewrites unless someone steps in to assist with each plugin.

So you know someone that is an expert at building sand foundations, and selling them? That’s a good thing, and something to emulate?

For a lot of folks (especially hereabouts), “makes money” is the only valid metric.

That’s not my experience or personal PoV. I’ve been shipping (as opposed to “writing”) code, for over 30 years. Pretty much everything I’ve written, has made it out the door (although not always to subsequent success). I’m fairly familiar with what it takes to ship. I agree that it’s a relatively uncommon skillset, but I’ve also learned to ship stuff with a future. One of the projects I developed, took ten years to come into its own, and it had to stay solid for all that time, until the right team could take it over. The fact that the code is well-written, well-supported, and well-documented, is the main reason that it finally took off.

I don’t like PHP, and one reason, has been alluded in other comments. It’s a sand foundation. Over the years, it has been massively backfilled, and is now pretty damn robust, but the sand foundation is still visible.

But it is a useful tool, if wielded correctly. If used incorrectly, though, that’s another story, and there’s a lot of bad PHP out there.

I have heard a quote, attributed to Stroustrop, that goes “With C, you can shoot yourself in the foot. With C++, you can blow your whole leg off.” I’m skeptical he’s the one that said it, but it’s a truism.

I have a friend that is an arborist (tree guy). He’s really experienced, and really good at it, and makes great money.

Watching him use chainsaws, though, is kinda terrifying. For one thing, every one of his saws has the safety guard removed, and he’ll go monkeying up a tree, with three running chainsaws, hanging off him. He uses them like you’d use a fork at the dinner table, and can take down a huge locust tree, in an hour or so, alone.

He makes it look easy, but I’m not so idiotic, as to think I could emulate him.

We have a running joke, every time he sees me, he holds up his hand, showing that he still has all his fingers, because I told him that he would end up chopping off a finger or two.

There now exists a huge base of very good PHP programmers. It took quite a while to coalesce, but it’s here. I don’t claim to be one of them, but I have used the language to ship some fairly ambitious stuff, for the last quarter century or so, so I can wrangle it reasonably well.
An LLM is essentially playing blindfold chess if it just gets the moves and not the position. You have to be fairly good to never make illegal moves in blindfold.

Sorry - I have a somewhat question - is it possible to train models as instruct models straight away? Previously LLMs were trained on raw text data, but now we can generate instruct data directly either from 'teaching LLMs' or ask existing LLMs to conver raw data into instruct format.

Or alternatively - if chat tuning diminishes some of the models' capability, would it make sense to have a smaller chat model prompt a large base model, and convert back the outputs?
