To be fair, both are distinct issues even if there is any overlap of proponents. You'll find a lot of folks like me for instance, who are okay with owning guns, okay with gun control and stronger background checks, supportive of the LGBTQ community, yet also tired of the LGBTQ, inclusivity, yada yada, being shoved down our throats. I employ some people in the community who are themselves tired of the constant pandering of the media to the agenda. To give an anecdote, all of them panned the recent Jaguar ad and rebrand, calling it unwanted and forced.

As always, politics is a spectrum and not a two-faced coin like we purport it to be, as evidenced by the recent elections.
How to spend $650M and make things worse as a result
The first thing to understand is that multiplying a complex number by i rotates the complex number by 90 degrees counter-clockwise around the origin.
For example, 1 * i = i (e.g. 1 + 0i is mapped to 0 + 1i).
And i*i = -1 (e.g. 0 + 1i is mapped to (-1 + 0i)
and so on.
e^ix is a continuous generalisation of this discrete rotation, as I understand it.

As an American expat, this is exactly the mentality of the large majority of Americans in my view. They're a bunch of spoiled brats who think they're entitled to a life of luxury just because of their nationality. They got this view because of the huge economic boom after WWII, when America was the only industrial power standing and profited massively from rebuilding. Now that other economies have risen and are seriously competing with them, they're mad that life isn't so easy now and will vote for anyone who promises to make their gasoline cheap again.

I have the vague feeling like the last 40 years of movies must have contained at least one scene where a villainous figure makes conductor-motions as things explode to music, but I can't recall anything specific.

There was the V For Vendetta movie where landmarks exploded to the 1812 Overture, but no gesturing was involved.
Israel has not applied to be a member of the ICC so anything Israel does or does not do is irrelevant to the question of whether or not the ICC should admit or have admitted anyone else.

PS: I don't understand why this is controversial (which I infer that it is watching its points rapidly fluctuate).

The ICC exists to enforce certain international criminal law.

Someone suggested that intending to abide by those laws should be a requirement for admissions to the ICC. This seems like a pretty common sense approach. They also pointed out that the leaders in Gaza do not abide by those laws, and that this would have been a good reason for the ICC to not accept their application for admission.

Several people then pointed out that Israel also does not abide by those laws. My point is that this is a reason to reject Israel if they ever apply to join the ICC. When anyone applies to join the ICC it should be what they do that matters, not what others do.

You're mostly right. I would like it to stay that way. Alas it's not liberals that are doing this. Given how many of these bills are insane and destined to never pass even in the reddest state it's a hard sell to say it's not performative virtue signaling.

The fun part is that in some cases just listing the iptables rules with an iptables -L will cause it to load the conntrack module and the default max for this is very low for anything that is a DNS server or perform a lot of DNS lookups. That's why it's a good idea to always set the sysctl nf_conntrack_max value quite high even if you aren't using conntrack. The actual sysctl key for nf_conntrack is different depending on the version of the kernel, it's net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_max nowadays.
I agree with what you wrote and I am familiar with that saying.

PHP to me, professionally, is nothing without Laravel. So as long as Laravel doesn't become more obtuse than it already is, it's all good.

I really dislike getters and setters, particularly when they allow async code. Now all the sudden you have a massive performance risk, it's all too typical to see junior devs doing expensive stuff in getters and now the whole application, exponentially, becomes slower.

Anything that _may_ involves magic is dangerous in large code bases.
You're talking in hypotheticals, but Norway has 80%+ market share of BEVs, and quite a few towns with 20,000+ residents. There are already many multi-megawatt charging locations built all around UK and Europe. It's an expensive infrastructure, but when there's demand, it pays for itself. When it's busy, they build more. Growth of the grid is also manageable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dfyG6FXsUU

High-speed charging locations that have very uneven usage with peaks, save costs by using dynamic power sharing (so capacity isn't wasted when a car that has finished charging occupies a dispenser), and have battery storage on site to use a cheaper smaller grid connection, and usually also make extra money from power arbitrage.

> it's not just hanging an extension cord from your outlet.

It almost is! For slow (overnight) AC charging the expensive inverter is in the car. The "charger" on the street is just an extension cord with a network-connected switch and a few temperature sensors for safety. BTW, home "chargers" (EVSE) are overpriced. Many of them are literally a Raspberry Pi and some switches.

Incredible, well-documented work -- this is an amazing effort!

Two things that caught my eye were (i) your loss curves and (ii) the assessment of dead latents. Our team also studied SAEs -- trained to reconstruct dense embeddings of paper abstracts rather than individual tokens [1]. We observed a power-law scaling of the lower bound of loss curves, even when we varied the sparsity level and the dimensionality of the SAE latent space. We also were able to totally mitigate dead latents with an auxiliary loss, and we saw smooth sinusoidal patterns throughout training iterations. Not sure if these were due to the specific application we performed (over paper abstracts embeddings) or if they represent more general phenomena.

One way to address that is to become cynical about 'antisemitism', but I hope that doesn't become prevalent. We've already entered an era in which majority groups resent minority grievances. Seems like that could lead to a lot of backwardness.

I alluded to this already, but it's so rare to hear public figures discuss Israel/Palestine without distorting and filtering what they say to promote one or the other side, it makes resolving things impossible.

Except the Hollywood insiders still make all of the creative decisions (after the money people make the money decisions).

Even including Netflix's success, there is no segment of the movie and television business where technology is dominating the actual creation of the content. And this conversation started with a Ben Affleck video about how that creativity isn't going to be replaced anytime soon. An algorithm can tell Netflix to greenlight a show about "nonbinary police detectives investigating election fraud", but there's no computer touching the script, direction, or any decisions the department heads are taking. And studios are already hitting the diminishing returns of ingesting a bunch of screenplays to spit out mediocre scripts (at enormous and rising cost).

Feel free to offer counter-examples, just so we're still staying with arm's length of reality.

Look at C++ or Perl, languages with many features that are quite frequently hated. When you add features, you force users to learn those features. It is not just a "variety of choice" because you know that other people will also take some of those choices and you'll probably have to edit their code at some point. Features are not just added to the language, but imposed on its users. The need to add features to a language is a sign that what you already have is insufficient. Features should be added to the bottom of a language, increasing its expressive power, rather than to the top of the language forming cruft around the edges. It would be much more productive for us to collectively abandon PHP in favour of sane languages, ones which don't require the continual addition of more features to cover their foundational shortcomings.
> Substack is, just as a reminder, a political project made by extremists with a goal of normalizing a radical, hateful agenda by co-opting well-intentioned creators' work in service of cross-promoting attacks on the vulnerable. You don't have to take my word for it; Substack's CEO explicitly said they won't ban someone who is explicitly spouting hate, and when confronted with the rampant white supremacist propaganda that they are profiting from on their site, they took down... four of the Nazis. Four.

I understand that content moderation online is a nuanced topic, but… my impression of the Substack stance was that it boiled down to "one of our main values is free speech, and while we understand the desire for content moderation, we're going to lean towards letting people use our platform even if we disagree with what they're writing". Characterizing this as a "radical, hateful agenda" seems like… a stretch? Maybe I'm missing something here.

Hmm. It is a weird conversation for me. Since I am not part of the conflict, as the outsider I believe I see some of the game played. Still, I do not want to spend too much energy on this since I am not sure I understand how you perceive things.

I think you are wrong, but you are wrong by equating Netanyahu and Israel. It is useful for the former. It would be hard to convince me it is useful for the latter. And then, even assuming tada part is uncontested ( not impossible in current configuration ), how exactly do you see this play out?

I think they only need to show intent if they are being charged with genocide, however, I think in this case they are being charged with using starvation as a weapon, hindering aid, and targeting hospitals. I think the recommendation also included extermination, which is similar to genocide, but also does not require intent, but I think the voted against that.

I think the evidence for the charges which were actually brought forward are pretty strong. I mean we have Gallant on video stating explicitly a policy of starvation, a policy which we have been seeing in action, also on video.
A. And was he impressed? My S.O. tends to have mixed reactions if I go on about source code too much. It's a fine line. She's an excellent tetris player though, so maybe this would get a pass.

B. I am not a big tetris player (too afraid of the inevitable addiction), but had a game there to see, and am now looking at the source code. ~tetris-allow-repetitions~ just has to be changed to nil, and then it does the correct bag rule behaviour?

C. I wonder why Emacs' tetris default is without the bag rule then... maybe you could submit a patch and propose a tournament? I only learned recently that the platform used for official tournaments is the NES version of Tetris, and now I'm learning that they use the bag rule. Tetris is more serious than I ever knew.

> Interesting turn of phrase you used - it is in fact a leap, as you're making assumption you put forward as fact in your mind; how often do you do that?

Well if you wrote clearly we wouldn't have this issue.

> Countless people are accusing him of genocide, including the ICC

The ICC explicitly have not. Perhaps they might in the future, but genocide was not one of the charges. If the icc prosecutor believes he has evidence of genocide occuring he has the authority to request a warrant for it (or request the existing warrant be amended)

As for others, well the icc is basically the only court with competent juridsiction (technically a domestic israel court would also, but it seems pretty unlikely at this point that the israeli gov would arrest their own PM for genocide). I dont find random people very meaningful compared to charges at court where evidence actually has to be presented.

> the problem with this discussion is no one defending the side accused of genocide will actually get into details of defining what could actually constitute genocide

The rome statue defines genocide which would be the definition used by the ICC. It is the same as how the genocide convention defines it which is essentially the official definition.

There is case law on how to specificly interpret the definition. Genocide is not a new concept at this point, and there exists people who have been tried for genocide in the past which has generated case law.

> most people have a wrong legal definition in their head for what constitutes genocide as well.

Yes, i agree that is an issue. However just because people have wrong beliefs does not mean the crime is undefined.

> The ICF has concluded officially as well that it is apartheid

I assume you mean ICJ here? They did not conclude that. They concluded that israel violated "Article 3 of CERD". Article 3 includes apartheid but it also includes other things. The ICJ did not specify which part of article 3 israel violated. (Obviously pretty bad either way)
