Lots of people seem to get permanently lost right around when operations on fractions are introduced. Other places, too, but that seems like the earliest one where a lot of people get lost and never really find their way back.

Factoring was another that lost a lot of folks in my class. Lots of frustration around it seeming both totally pointless and the process involving lots of guessing, several classmates were like "well, fuck math forever I guess" at that point, like if they'd been asked to dig a ditch with a spoon and then fill it back in.
Given that the accused is currently in control of the crime scene, it's not surprising that the prosecution chose to prioritise the crimes that are easiest to prove.

If you scroll far enough in the comments of most of からめる's videos, there will almost always be a English-translated transcript somewhere.

Any advice on how to talk to potential customers in the beginning say even before writing the code? Do you cold email/cold call? How do you start to talk about their problems?
Ultimately it's the platform's choice where to draw the line and it should be a function of their ethos and the observed value to users. It seems pretty clear that Twitter functioned extremely well with a robust moderation team of highly professional experts with clear guidance. Switching to a "free speech" model + community notes has resulted in the platform losing it's appeal. Conversely, BlueSky's model has been rapidly attracting users with their moderation policy. So, active moderation is better than none. QED.

Idk if it's because HN is populated with engineers who can't wrap their head around a non-deterministic solution, but a team of humans with a set of goals are capable of dealing with a problem that doesn't have a concretely defined algorithm.

I think so. About a decade ago I remember hearing that the chrome team had about 1000 full time engineers. I suspect the number has grown over time.

Looking at the number of lines of code, the linux kernel is just barely ahead of chromium now (39m loc vs 36m). But that doesn't include all the proprietary parts of chrome that aren't in chromium - like their binary updating system, h264 decoder, built in google account support, and so on.

> The part that it misses is that a student should probably be fine demonstrating one modality instead of having to demonstrate them all

I cannot overstate enough how consistently and extremely this has turned my kids off from math. 3-for-3 on absolutely hating this. Having to solve the same thing five different ways just pisses them off, and, like... yeah, of course it does. They want to finish the work and go play and it feels like you're just fucking with them and disrespecting their time by making them solve the same problem several times, even if that's not the intent.
It's always hard for me to read this argument without thinking that it is effectively arguing that we should inflict substandard software on customers as a development tactic.

Regardless of the intention, looking at the software landscape tells me that far too many software houses are doing exactly that.
Yeah, in spite of the author's claims to not want to be the humor police, this really just reads as someone who takes their work as a historian of nuclear weapons 'very seriously' and doesn't want it to be joked about. The SNL joke he identified as being particularly offensive ("Having received the Novel Peace Prize, the survivors of the nuclear bombings called the award the second biggest surprise of their lives") is ... pretty anodyne? It's not making fun of the survivors or glorifying cruelty, it's just contrasting the banal things people say when receiving awards with the extreme reality of having endured one of the most awful events in human history.
That kind of juxtaposition is pretty par for the course in comedy, let alone dark comedy. And when it comes to engaging with the reality of awful events, not everyone wants to or has the capacity to treat them with the grave solemnity the author seems to expect.

> Of course concealing one’s true intent just enough to be able to later play dumb and deny motivations when called out is a decent strategy for online arguments, but it’s not foolproof.

I don't see how I "played dumb". I obviously know how to parse a sentence, and in the original comment that you're deliberately misreading, I said "raw facts don't care about your feelings", and then I explain that most discussions aren't really about raw facts but rather how they're interpreted.

> Deciphering the commenter’s true meaning wasn’t super hard in this case. From claiming that a highly intelligent conservative pundit is a moron it’s easy to deduce that the person thinks less intelligent conservatives are also morons.

How exactly is Ben Shapiro "highly intelligent"? Because he went to an Ivy League school? I can promise you that there's almost certainly a politician that you think is stupid that went to an Ivy League school, this isn't exactly a strong filter. Oh, is it because he talks really fast? I do that too, I guess I'm highly intelligent.

I don't think all conservatives are morons, and I don't think conservatives have a monopoly on being morons. I think the considerably-more-left-leaning The Young Turks, for example, are also pretty dumb. I have stated this multiple times now, and the fact that you're not responding to me directly is telling: I think pretending that you're somehow "above" your emotions is stupid. I think fetishizing the idea of divorcing "reason" from "emotion" is a dumb, even if I believed it were actually possible, which I'm not sure I do.

> They also explicitly said they “don’t like conservatives” which is a pretty silly statement to throw out there in general.

It's actually not silly to not like someone for their beliefs. That's dumb, of course if someone believes in something that I think is bad then I'm probably not going to like them very much. I don't really need to go into specifics for this, there's a lot of rhetoric that has caught on in conservative circles that I think is bad. You're obviously free to disagree with what statements are "bad" and that's fine; I'm sure there's rhetoric in more liberal circles that you think is bad.

People are entitled to free speech and to believe whatever they want, I wouldn't take that away from them even if I could, but they're not entitled to me liking them in spite of their beliefs. Life is much easier when you realize that you don't have to be everyone's friend.

> The idiom’s intended message is as simple as it seems. It says that getting emotional about facts doesn’t change them. It’s not some deeply profound thing to say.

I actually pointed this out in the original comment, and I'm arguing that that's not how the idiom is actually used. When I've seen it used (and admittedly I've obviously not seen every argument in which it is), it's always been used as some sort of "gotcha!" to act like an argument is less valid because the person making it is emotional.
I suspect there’s always something about trying to do this at scale that will fail. Maybe there was some insight back in the eighties when a move to less fat was good, but then like it should have been 10% less fat and not a wholesale replacement of all fats with sugar. Likewise I can’t imagine going back to Tallow for an entire population won’t have some other trade offs.

Maybe seed oils are really bad, or maybe you just shouldn’t be eating so many fried foods for the type of fat to matter all that much.

This article does somewhat go into, but I think, unless something is outright toxic like lead, nutrition science will always be plagued by the number of confounding factors.

> once we understand that the universe itself is queryable

We do understand that. "What happens when I push a rock off a cliff?" is a query to the universe. The universe's response is observable when the experiment is executed and the rock is pushed.

> a human being needs to undergo a process of self-evolution to become aligned with the Creator's Intent

I have no need for this hypothesis. We can query the universe at any time simply by observing it, proposing a falsifiable explanation for what is observed, and acting within it to test our explanations.
This is wonderful! I’d somehow missed the classical enumeration of Pythagorean triples. I learned them as magic numbers. That structure alone is worth the price of admission.
I think most people can become fairly skilled in useful fields if educated properly, and the people who can't are a small group that can be cared for. I agree that even in a better education system, people aren't all going to be equally skilled in the same fields, just that most people can contribute something of value.
Australia's system is similar, albeit the tuition fees are higher (capped depending on the degree and set by the government). You take out a government-backed loan and which is around CPI and then pay it back at an increasing % based on your income, between I think 1.5% above a certain threshold and 10% by a second, higher one.

There's been some issues with it, but no system is perfect and the thrust of it is aligned with the dual public-private structure that Australia seems to prefer (see also: medicare vs private health insurance).
A person's body mass is nothing more than the combination of what a person eats and what a person does in their life.

The only really effective policy is to inform people that that is the simple, honest truth of every single person, and that the quality of food we eat is important in that equation.

Eat better food, be more active. Yes, it is difficult, especially for us peasants.

But that is science. I hope a miracle drug helps folks preyed upon by the food industry, but side effects of that industry's drugs leave me skeptical of their being lastingly beneficial.
Would science have progressed more slowly if they had spent a few hours building a decent rig for that that can't slip like a screwdriver instead of losing a scientist?
Yes, AI is racist against groups that are not "accepted" among the current liberal hegemony.

>In his first response to the ICC issuing a warrant for his arrest on allegations of war crimes, Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has described the ruling as “absurd and false lies” and said the decision is “antisemitic.”

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/nov/21/internati...

If Netanyahu and Gallant really think they are innocent, and the allegations are absurd and false, they should cooperate with the ICC. Have your day in court and show how absurd the accusations are. If you're not willing to do that, it seems reasonable for the public to draw a proverbial negative inference.
This comment exemplifies that this whole narrative stems from political disagreements with Musk rather than anything to do with SpaceX's technological and commercial merits.

As an aside, Musk was once upon a time aligned with the Left/Progressives/Democrats. He even fell out with Trump before during his first term, not that anyone probably remembers. Understand that Musk was on your side and got pushed away, like a lot of ex-Democrats turned Republicans.
what power does the ICC have to carry out its sentencing if the US chooses to agree with it?

It is not if the US was on board it would lead an invasion of Israel.

Where is any source about it, other than “it just feels wrong, people shouldn’t cheat their way out of obesity”? Sorry for being obtuse, but I have very close friends for whom it changed their lives.
I was just answering your question my friend. Given the states are not party to the ICC, they have very little to do with it. But to your point: what teeth does the ICC have? In theory the 120ish other countries that WOULD arrest someone with a warrant, south korea, ausieland, canada etc. In theory.
So for me, it doesn't add a second point. Is that because it can't find a route or is it just not working?

Boulder, Colorado for reference.

If the US, or any European country, started letting Palestinian refugees in en masse, a lot of them would manage to get there. Egypt’s culpability here is the most salient because they’re physically closest; but I don’t see how that makes the country uniquely culpable for failing to prevent a preventable situation.
I would totally get behind ICC charges against Hezbollah. Bad actors need consequences.
And the US has threatened to invade NL if ICC warrants one of them.

So much for the ICC: a banana court.

>It might positively affect if this makes (especially EU) countries put more pressure on Israel.

That would never happen. Israel is above any and all criticism, how do people not realize that by now?

Pressure, sanctions, whatever - nothing will actually happen. Likud can trot out the tired trope of antisemitism and any and all criticism, legitimate or not, is automatically waved away. Like it or not, that's objective reality.

Before the shills come in and accuse me of this or that, let me be clear: NO, I don't support Hamas, Likud, or any organization that supports the killing of innocent people. Israel has a right to exist and defend itself, Palestine has a right to exist and defend itself.
what exactly do you think would happen differently if you took the US out of the picture?

US interests is a very broad category, it frequently doesn’t get its way.

There’s tit for tat involved where things might escalate to the point where the US kills some people via airstrikes, but it simply can’t escalate everything to a full on war.
that is because they slave on "W2's" - I have been contracting with 2005-ish... on a "W2" it'd be (A LOT) harder but probably doable if you find the right spot. EU has a TON of money for small business, especially if you live in not-so-rich places (balkans, etc...) so doing contracting or starting a small 5-6 people dev shop is not out of reach for most talented and business-savvy devs
The honest truth is there's just a certain acceptable level of jank in a scientific lab.

Not everything needs to be measured to a high precision to be useful, and it's always a balance of how much effort you want to expend versus how useful that extra accuracy/precision is.

If all you care about is "when you're getting close to a critical mass, your instruments will look like this," you don't care that you have a wide swing in your data. You just want to show a difference from baseline.
I took it for a bit as a non-overweight person and the minimum dose was absolutely enough for me to have a hard time eating enough to maintain my weight.
There is pretty much no way to enforce so-called "international law" other than through sanctions or direct military action. Germany is not going to arrest Netanyahu if he visited the country. What would be the consequence of that? Nothing of substance, maybe a sternly worded letter from the ICC, but there are no effective and practical means of forcing them to act.
If someone still on X could send them the hn@ycombinator.com support address, that'd be useful.

The U.S. has never signed the treaty creating the ICC anyway.

Russia engages in random drone strikes, funding insurgency and terror groups, invading countries without international approval, blockading Ukraine, etc. - the list is very long. Indeed, russia appears to be king of grey zone actions.

So when russia complains about the US doing similar things (often responding to provocation by russia), the complaints can easily be filed in the "hypocrisy bin".

> Whats perhaps interesting to note is that this charge was made for "just" 41 [1] confirmed starvation deaths among a population of 2,141,643 people [2].

IANAL but this is probably incorrect i think - the starvation charge is related to allegations of intentionally restricting neccesities of life. Whether anyone dies as a result is irrelavent to that charge. The murder charge is for the people who actually allegedly died as a result (of the starvation that is. To be clear, the death has to illegal for it to be the war crime of murder. Normal combat death is not murder).
