Because they use such esoteric software that you'll forever be reliant on Oxide.

I'd rather they use more standardized open source software like Linux, Talos, k8s, Ceph, KubeVirt. Instead of rolling it all themselves on an OS that has a very small niche ecosystem.
When was the last time you had a break, let alone an honest to Crom vacation?

It sounds like you're thoroughly sick of your work, but can't or won't consciously admit it even to yourself, so your body is staging a wildcat strike.

I've been developing software for over twenty years, and when this happens to me I get the hell away from computers for a bit.

Good luck.
Sorry but this is just plain wrong. The real issue is Cuda not Python. Go's memory model makes it to where it has to trampoline to C, this is as much as 300ns in Go which is about 10x what Python is. These things add up significantly when doing ML training.
None of the items listed there have been ticked off in the time since the ticket was opened, not even the “create v3 branch” one. Mike also has had plans for v3 for at least the last decade too.

So, I’m sure it’ll get worked on when he can, and it’ll be great when it’s done, but it doesn’t look like there’s active development on it and it doesn’t look like it will happen any time soon. I hope in wrong, of course, but it just doesn’t seem likely.

> You're describing conditions that occur in many asymmetric/guerilla wars. None of these are novel tactics whose acceptability must be evaluated from first principles now.

Some of those conditions are similar, some aren't. In most cases, the group doing guerilla warfare isn't actively trying to get their own citizens killed, or if you want to be generous, simply doesn't care if they get killed or not.

That said, you're partially right that these conditions have occurred before. That's why many military experts make comparisons to similar situations, like parts of the Iraq war or even closer, fighting against ISIS.

In most of these analyses I've seen, they claim that the IDF performs as well as the US army did in similar situations in terms of protection of civilians, civilian to combatant killed ratios, etc.

> Further, none of these should come as surprises to Israeli commanders, who will have seen these tactics from Hamas in the past.

I don't think anyone is surprised by how Hamas is acting, except much of the international community who simply refuses to accept how Hamas is acting.

> The bottom line is that any military can only control its own conduct as it represents its citizens in battle.

Yes, but if there are legitimate military goals to achieve - and there certainly were legitimate goals to achieve in the beginning of the war - then the military has to fight the battle its enemy is giving it. There simply isn't a way to fight Hamas without inflicting civilian casualties, because of the way it fights. You can choose not to fight it at all, but that wasn't really a choice that was available to Israel on October 7th. (Whether the war should've continued for so long is a different matter.)

Sure, and I'm still using PHP every once in a while for personal needs (I have a handful of small personal websites built this way: PHP has this insanely cool capability of being just a scripting language for a basic dynamic website).

What's sad is that it's not how people use and teach PHP today.

PHP's magic really is that you can write small scripts super easily to do small tasks, but somehow most PHP developers insist that “no PHP isn't for building small scripts” but “a real, professional back end language ready for mission critical enterprise requirements blah blah blah”, because surely that make them sound more serious as programmers, missing the point entirely…

(And sorry to all insecure PHP programmers out there, but for serious stuff using PHP is still equivalent to coding with handcuffs and you should really learn a second programming language at last because being a one trick poney really isn't as cool as you think it is).
From my experience the model 3 also drove very different than other Teslas (in a good way). It was by far my favorite even being the cheapest.

The next person to win a fight for a most exclusive position may decide it should be of substantially less value.. But usually only as a tactic to get the position.
From what I've read, under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea when you have things like that strait where it is the only reasonable route between two bodies of international water ships and planes that are traveling between those two bodies have the right to pass through unimpeded.

If you want to do something other than just a continuous and expeditious passage through the strait than you do need permission from the bordering countries and have to obey their rules. But if you are just going straight (no pun intended) through then it legally counts as being on the high seas all the way through.

Civilians in Ukraine are normally evacuated to safer parts of Ukraine or other European countries. Unfortunately Gaza is tiny and no countries are accepting war refugees.
Huh? The vast majority of the world has repeatedly voted at the UN to accuse Israel of related war crimes, and public opinion in the vast majority of the world follows as well. There really is a consensus worldwide, with a minority disagreeing, centered around the US.
I'm sure if they try it will go down perfectly well with the rest of the world.
It's not like the US has a monopoly on finances or force globally. China and BRICS are waiting in the wings.
Thanks for sharing this. I was debating buying the book.
I’m rooting for solutions like this as an alternative to the public cloud.
I do see that an org would rely on one company that theoretically can do a ‘Broadcom VMware’ on them but I don’t get this vibe from 0x1d3 at all.

But they target large orgs, I wish a solution like this would be accessible for smaller companies.

I wish I could throw their stack on my second hand cots hardware, rent a few U’s in two colos for geo redundancy and cry of happiness each month realizing how much money we save on public cloud cost, yet having cloud capabilities/benefits
"The West" literally isn't allowed to circulate credible reporting on Gaza because Israel has banned their journalists from documenting it.

No wonder they lost social media, they can't even win traditional media.
Adafruit has loads of projects and kits like TV-Be-Gone, Circuit Playground, EdgeBadge and others. They're suitable for a range of ages and experience levels, usually come with lesson materials and are generally pretty affordable.

I believe SparkFun has a similar ecosystem of products and projects as well.

I'm not affiliated with either of these companies.

Excuse my ignorance but putting aside all the fraught politics of the day, I would love to see some unbiased critique of the analysis either for or against. Obviously a response will be: “This change could have been organic in response to the assassination attempt”. Can someone with a statistical background chime in why that is not possible or is possible?
Interesting, I am intrigued by the support for partial derivatives with typed dimensions. I'll have to check out OpenFOAM
I think the accusations are sometimes unfair, and other times accurate. I wouldn't like for the world just to dismiss hatred towards Jews, or any other group, out-of-hand. More than anything, I would like to see measured and humane discussion in the media about the Middle East; but sadly I don't expect that will happen.
My ex's psychotic states could vary in intensity and duration. During one intense time she believed there were armies of cartoonish characters lurking just outside the house - but she didn't feel threatened by them.

During a longish period she stole my van. Some days later I received a call at 3am from someone 400mi away who found her walking along a very remote road. I asked him to call the local police and they got her to a MH ER center. In a week, the center had her stable enough to travel and put her on a bus back.

She could sometimes be reasoned with - sometimes surprisingly so. But it usually didn't stick for long. Some time later she'd back like we never talked.

That's sort of what our time was like. Anything useful?

edit: I had an aunt who was schizophrenic. She lived with us when I was young. She would vacillate between lucidity - and suddenly having conversations with people who weren't there - and then lucidity again, in tens of minutes.

My aunt would also disappear from her husband+kids. She'd turn up months later, usually in France.
Some of them work extra hard.

Not at all. i dont believe in delusions. I prayed everyday for 2 years for this woman I have always known to be the one. We met at the end of college and she went away to med school. At first she rejected me but after two years my wishes came true and she finally called me up and accepted me. It was the best feeling I have ever felt. I always knew she was the one from the moment I met her. Every day I would pray and god would send signs telling me its meant to be with us. We have been dating each other for 1 year and we are planning our wedding for next year. there is no such thing as being delusional if god makes a promise to you. I tell every single person I meet who has any doubts about their hopes and dreams about our story and that they have to believe in their dreams and prayers for them to come true. if something is meant to be its meant to be and you have to hang in there.
Elon Musk's Doge May Create a Free Tax Filing App
All that has been proven so far is the overestimating in the short term part.
I walked past the offices of Medcins Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) incidentally across the road from the very good new Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, with posters in the windows imploring “no bombardment of hospitals in Gaza”.

The numbers are absurdly small, if hospitals were still operational, their employees not subject to extrajudicial killing from the occupation authorities and the facilities themselves not subject to bombardment.

Data from these killing fields is probably going to be far, far worse than we believe, once the dust has settled.

I still do, every once in a while when I'm using PHP for my personal websites, but it's been a very long time since I've updated the (very basic) dependencies I'm using since they all migrated to the “enterprise-grade tooling of the day” after 2010 or something.

While PHP can still be uses like that today (and is still unmatched in terms of ease of use for simple stuff when used like that) it's been a long time since the PHP project and developer community stopped caring about this use-case.
> At some point Netanyahu will be out of power.

I wish and hope that's true.

But I think some of your analysis is really incorrect, unfortunately.

> He's been voted out of office before.

Yes, he was out of power for about a year of the last 15 or so years, and got back into power.

> He's in trouble politically.

True, and I hope it stays that way. However the elections are still two years away, there doesn't seem to be any pathway to forcing the elections to happen sooner, and he is gaining ground, not losing it. It is very much a possibility that he holds on to power.

> He promised a short, victorious war over Gaza, and got into a long major war against Iran and more countries instead.

I'm not sure he actually promised a short war. That said, the war against Lebanon is probably the most successful thing he's done in terms of restoring his power. It's entirely possible that acting more aggressively against more enemies is a winning strategy for him.

> The next government might decide to turn him over to the ICC simply to get him off the political stage.

This basically reads as completely wrong to me. Almost every politician on every side of the aisle in Israel has condenmed the ICC. The intrusion into Israeli sovereignity is a big blow to Israel, implying that Israel's democracy isn't trusted to hold people accountable by ourselves.

Even if privately opposition leaders would want Netanyahu gone, giving him up would be suicide politically.

The big piece of copper is fed by redundant rectifiers.

Well, we’re getting into how to choose metaphors here. Not being literal, there’s always room to stretch. Still, you try to choose a metaphor with characteristics congruent with the topic.

With a minefield, you can be doing something perfectly reasonable, with eyes open and even paying attention yet nevertheless it can blow up on you.

Here, though, there’s no special peril. If you just follow the standard everything will be fine.

If this is a minefield, then practically everything in software development is equally a minefield and the metaphor loses its power.

(Later in the article they touch on something that is a minefield — updating dependencies. There’s probably a good article about that to be written.)
i dont believe in delusions. if you believe in something hard enough its gotta be real.
Why would it matter? I don't think we should ever justify Islamophobia based on the actions of Islamic states or other Islamic groups; by the same token we should never justify antisemitic hate crimes regardless of our views on Israel.
From Files to Chunks: Improving Hugging Face Storage Efficiency
Hugging Face is replacing Git LFS on the Hub with a more efficient, chunk-based storage system. Using content-defined chunking (CDC), we version variable-sized chunks of data instead of entire files. This dramatically reduces upload/download times by transferring only modified chunks—eliminating the need to re-upload or re-download massive files for small changes. It’s a game-changer for managing the ever-growing datasets and models hosted on the Hub.

Read the blog post to dive into the details of CDC and how it improves performance and scalability for ML workflows and let me know what you think!
The existence of "chabudou" reduces the credibility of the stats in the article.
This is why, if Israel and USA and other world powers' governments, and the UN, functioned correctly and for the good of the people, then...

- Britain would never have ruled over Palestine

- Israel would have never been established in the middle of Palestine

- There would never have been a civil war in the area

- We wouldn't be using it as a vehicle for continuing to undermine democratic movements and unification in the Middle East

- We wouldn't be partnering with Mossad (and thus excusing their own activities) to entrap and spy on politicians and activists

- Women and babies wouldn't be dying

- Entire family trees wouldn't be wiped out

Additionally, anti-peace sentiment from Netanyahu would have been rooted out early on, and he would have been replaced with more stable leadership via fair anarchistic or democratic means.

Instead, our governments and their NGO partners tirelessly work to hoodwink and undereducate their populaces, precisely so that the upper class can continue unsustainably exploiting resources from artificially poor countries, while also benefiting from corpgov partnerships with artificially rich dictators to establish regulated access energy and natural resources.

This is all an extension of neoliberal policy, controlling energy and growth of both foreign and domestic demographics in order to sustain an unsustainable lifestyle of a relatively small amount of people in the upper class, and to a lesser extent (in order to incentivize obedience) the middle class.

Everyone else suffers. Either a slow death by a thousand cuts, or a swift death from above. We are witnessing increasingly horrific acts borne from poisoned authoritarian minds under the justification of juicing this shitshow for just a little bit longer, and typically, for millennia now, wrapped in religious justification, since religion has long been an effective medium of control for an undereducated populace.

It didn't have to be this way, and if these systems were actually working for us, it would be a cinch to expel this sort of perverted leadership before it has the chance to carry out unspeakable horrors.

Multiple active genocides aside, eventually these people die and we inherit a boiling planet with broken social systems, generational traumas preventing unification, fragile supply chains, depleted energy reserves, and severely impacted ecosystems and life-sustaining biogeochemical cycles.

It's ultimately up to us to organize and demand better for ourselves and of ourselves.

> But the problem is that Israel's style of warfare is (intentionally or not) blurring the distinction between those numbers, by using methods of combat that have exceptionally high rates of collateral damage.

I'm not sure that is true. Urban combat is notoriously bloody, and other conflicts of this nature have seen similar orders of magnitude deaths.

Additionally, civilian deaths are not neccesarily indicative of war crimes. Certain types of collateral damage are allowed where others are not (rules are complex and quite frankly oblivious), so you would also have to separate the legal collateral damage from the illegal collateral damage.

> The most extreme instances of this are the deliberate withholding of aid, both in the "total siege" in the beginning of the war, as well as operations like now in the north.

Well that allegation is the main basis for this warrant. However so far it seems like only a very small porportion of the deaths are attributable to that practise. To the point where so far the icc found that there wasnt enough evidence for a charge of extermination. I think about roughly 15 people have to die for it to be considered extermination. So it seems like so far there isn't evidence that a significant number of deaths in this conflict are related to that method of war. Of course new evidence can always come to light later. (Its important to note that siege warfare is still a warcrime even if nobody dies. The counter side is israel would probably try and argue (for the recent activity at least) that they gave civilians an opportunity to evacuate and thus it wasn't directed at civilians).
OSC52: My Cut and Paste Journey
Title should say (2019)
The amount of unfair accusations dwarfs any real ones. For instance many in the VC world have accused Paul Graham of being antisemitic for simply showing concern about Palestinians. To be clear no critique of Israel including that you don't think it has a right to exist is "antisemitic". Israel is a state not an ethnicity and it was formed under what most consider to be illegal and unethical circumstances and it grew through ethnic cleansing. It's official religion is of no consequence when judging its actions.
The customers aren't the consumers, thus this is a business opportunity.
