No but this opinion is unjustifiably considered antisemitic and you couuld potentially have unwanted repercussions e.g. lose your job if you make it public. Such are the times we live in.

I wish. The US government has been an absolute disgrace in how we've handled support of Israel unflinchingly. I guess we didn't write enough sternly written letters while people were being forcibly starved to death.
Looking at the Hardware requirements of the project:

```
Hardware Requirements

Raspberry Pi (Zero 2 or another model with BLE support).
Monty Home BLE Device.
Additional hardware specific to each project, such as an LED, OLED display, and IFTTT account.

You're looking at ~$100 worth of equipment. A very low entry price point
I'm sure our military knows, but the idea is that it doesn't matter what it destroyed. What matters is that a volley of MIRVs seems to have been delivered in Ukraine. Honestly though, this is just another weak move from Putin. He's a an absolute clown who's foolishly taken his neighbor's house hostage, is surrounded by police and is now waving his gun in the air, repeatedly screaming "I'm gonna do it!". That's where we are. His chances of coming out of this unscathed are now zero. It's just how he's going to go out that we have to figure out.

Thank you for saying that! I have a much, much harder time documenting everything and writing out each decision in continuous text than actually writing the code. So it took a look time for me to write all of this down - so I'm happy you appreciate it! =)
I soldered one of these with my 6 year old: https://thepihut.com/products/3d-xmas-tree-for-raspberry-pi. They seem to be out of stock, but maybe you can find them somewhere else.

Fun, quick project. With my kid, I healed the iron and they held the solder. I’m guess a 13 year old could do more (or all) themselves.

Then there are options for tweaking the program, like different patterns, a “count down” to Christmas, etc.
They didn't realize it because it isn't true.

Most of the things Andrew Tate pushes are not harmful. Stoicism isn't bad, it's massively undervalued in today's society. I'd say that most of today's modern sensibilities are the toxic influences that end up seriously harming the mental health of millennials and zoomers.

It's super easy to tell: the more in touch they're with them, the less reasonable they're, the more they get hung up on irrelevant things and have outbursts about completely asinine topics. They always have to be treated with silk gloves and if someone doesn't they'll try to get them cancelled.

Tate just adds silly amounts of narcissism as well, what people call "being alpha" and "sigma" right now. And that obviously ends up harming other people.
I’d love a link to this talk if you happen to have it handy!

Doesn't seem to accomplish much in the age of remote work.

Putin has had an arrest warrant for years and he just attended the BRICS summit remotely instead of in person.

Since in theory they would be obligated to arrest him in person. But seemed they had no problem letting him attend by video call.

> Before he was fired?

I don't know how long someone should expect to remain employed when making baseless allegations of scientific misconduct against his colleagues instead of doing actual work. Again, he did not have evidence to support his suspicion of fraud, and he admitted this at the time.

I'm sorry that the "most important names of the entire floorplanning academic community" are struggling with ML basics, but it is what it is. The "Chip Has Sailed" paper makes this pretty clear. This pattern is unfortunately common when ML comes for a new field -- some researchers adapt and build, and others fail and complain (or worse, don't really even try).

> it's a hoop that everyone who has ever published any such paper (including all the big names) has had to pass in order to be published

If the hoop doesn't match what modern chip design needs, we shouldn't expect researchers to hop through it. No one is comparing Vision Transformers against AlexNet on MNIST. Meanwhile, AlphaChip is already used in production to make real layouts for real chips. TPU is a big deal!

I think the one thing we agree on is that this field desperately needs large public benchmarks that are representative of modern chip design.

Perhaps this is a foolish thought, but I wonder...what would the outcome be if we could smuggle into Ukraine the supplies to set up a smallish number of ICBMs and launchers. Then notify the Russians that the guy that they're pointing a gun at also happens to have a gun pointed at them. It would be nowhere near the size of the Russian arsenal, but enough to potentially decapitate Russia. Game theorists, what is the most likely outcome?
> and optimized just to make more of themselves, not to be understood

There is also pressure for it to avoid outputs such are too predictable, as part of a constant arms race against predators and same-species competitors. (For example, how many predators are instinctively key to certain prey behaviors, and when you violate their expectations they might back off.)

That goal doesn't guarantee that the mechanics themselves will be obfuscated, but it does trend in a similar direction.
Well again in the analogy the issue seems not to be Isreal defending itself (i do believe they have the right to do so as should any country).

The issues seems to be retaliation against a civilian population.

Really attacking civilians seems to be the major war crimes on both sides of this conflict
On a side note, they (Google included) really should drop the "accessibility" naming.

I don't know how much it made sense when it was to allow blind UI navigation (could have been a "navigation" or "interactions" setting).

But nowadays with the amount of stuff in there, including permissions for password managers, animation reduction, audio EQ etc., it just makes less and less sense.
I really love Oxide to an unhealthy amount (it's become a bit of a meme among my colleagues), but sometimes I do wonder whether they went about their go-to-market the right way. They really tried to do everything at once - custom servers, custom router, custom rack, everything. Their accomplishments are technologically impressive, but, as somebody who is in a position to make purchasing decisions, not economically attractive. They're 3x more expensive than our existing hardware, two generations behind (I'm aware they're on track for a refresh) and don't have any GPUs. E.g. what I would have loved to see is just an after-market BMC/NIC/firmware solution using their stack. Plug it into a cheap Gigabyte system (their BMC is pluggable and NIC is OCP) and just have the control plane manage it as a whole box. I'd have easily paid serveral thousand $ per server just for that. All the rack scale integration, virtualization, migration, network storage, etc stuff is cool, but not everyone needs it. Get your foot in the door at customers, build up some volume for better deals with AMD, and then start building the custom rack stuff ... Of course it's easy to be a critic from the side lines. As I said, I do really love what the Oxide folks are doing, I just really hope it'll become possible for me to buy their gear at some point.
At work, whoever designed our setup put the staging and dev environments on the same domain and the entire massive company has adopted this pattern.

At first I thought that substack was part of the Thiel/Musk enterprise or some other messed up billionaire club of political engineering, but not much was offered. Say "Substak is . . . a political project made by extremists . . ." Can't see any evidence of it here.

The other angle I could see is Substack is algo'ing neo-nazi content to folks. But I can't go to cancel mode just for hosting. I can see that getting reductive - who's the hypersaler, who provided the electrons, who's sold them the servers . . . there is no end. It really needs to end with reader.
For context, I'm not American and I would have trouble understanding how this could be conceived as antisemitic??

Also mentioned in another comment I do believe Isreal has a right to defend itself but not to commit war crimes against civilians... that seems to be the issue here.

Not sure yet to be honest. I'll definitely consider it but I'll reorient myself and what I plan to do next in the coming week. I also planned on maybe starting a simpler project and maybe showing people how to create the full model of a current Llama 3.2 implementation from scratch in pure PyTorch. I love building things from teh ground up and when I looked for documentation for the Llama 3.2 background section of this SAE project then the existing documentation I found was either too superficial or outdated and intended for Llama 1 or 2 - Documentation in ML gets outdated so quickly nowadays...

I've definitely been that guy complaining about all the unnecessary friction. What I've learned is that you have to be selective; take note of the flaws when you find them, but put them aside and focus on the things that directly impact current work on your plate. "I'm going to refactor this class in order to add X with less risk" is an easier sell compared to "I'm going to put development on hold while I refactor all the things for some reason."

Propaganda nonsense.

- that article is nearly a year old.

- Israel grossly over counts who is Hamas.

- Lancets July estimate was 200k dead. If 17k Hamas have died AND we exclude all civilians that have been killed since July, that's still 10 dead civilians for every legitimate target - horrible and despicable

He's been declared dead by both Israel and Hamas.

How about the Hamas leaders living in Turkey? They were just kicked out of Qatar, and being in (semi-)European Turkey should be easier to arrest, no? Remember, these Hamas leaders in Turkey actually, really, call for explicit genocide - and carry out their actions.
The problem is that ads and tracking data represent recurring revenue for the manufacturers, and they know full well that many people are going to Walmart or Best Buy and picking the cheapest one.

That changes the decision considerably: not many people feel strongly enough about this to pay more, and even people who do care about privacy or find ads annoying usually aren’t willing to pay much more for it.

An Apple TV is the clear market leader on streaming devices but even there you see people talking like it’s exorbitant to pay an extra $50 for something which will last twice as long as a FireTV or Google TV, and for TVs it’s even less favorable because the people who care enough to buy our hypothetical safe TV are going to need one of those anyway so they’re probably going to pick the cheaper (advertiser subsidized) one and never connect it to the internet.
I think their eventual hack to circumvent this kind of stuff is leveraging stuff like "Amazon Sidewalk" where everyone is unwittingly providing free internet for the IoT-enabled things they buy >_>

That was part of the original ip specification, it was modeled after army telecom patterns. where there are priority levels baked in. when the net starts to overload the lower priority traffic gets discarded first.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc791 calls it precedence

Precedence

111 - Network Control
110 - Internetwork Control
101 - CRITIC/ECP
100 - Flash Override
011 - Flash
010 - Immediate
001 - Priority
000 - Routine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_of_service

The bits ended up being reassigned for service codes. mainly because nobody used them. I also suspect there would be problems with a priority system in a peer network like the internet. It works in a more managed network(like the army) where strict priority control can be enforced. but it would probably be an arms race when one peer starts setting their priority a notch higher so their messages start getting through better on a congested link.
I don't understand what this does. It says it "broadcasts media content retrieved from web pages".

What does broadcast mean? Like what if the media is a PDF or a PNG? Is it a static file proxy server?

You have to put in the effort you think the current situation is. Everybody else is doing the same. Indeed see a lot of grayed out comments that defend Israel and wish they were regular color so it’s just a discussion. But in the same way commers get downvoted they could also be upvoted. Maybe your opinions have many people who disagree and few who agree? I urge all thise who agree with you to upvote your comments.
Mm.

1. The image at the start seems to from a LNG terminal, from stories a month or so ago. It can be found here (click over to the third image in the set);

https://www.instagram.com/chinaxinhuanews/p/DBxSzRYqZaD/?img...

2. The reporter is in Shanghai, in China, and so is subject to the Chinese State and its requirement to publish positive stories.

3. The Federation of Robotics looks legit - around for a long time, based in Germany, multi-national, currently has a Japanese boss.

4. The actual original publication from the FoR is here;

https://ifr.org/ifr-press-releases/news/global-robot-density...

And in fact is a general publication describing the current state of play. The original story in this HN post focuses almost wholly on China, which isn't surprising, since the reporting originates in China.

As it is, my view is that it's not how many robots you have, it's what you have, where they are, how much they cost you, if they're worth it/useful, and if the numbers you're providing are in fact accurate. Extensive growth, by spending more, is easy; intensive growth, by spending more efficiently is hard. State run growth is very nearly almost always extensive growth; you tax something (which retards its development) and put the money elsewhere. If you've moved the wealth from somewhere it was efficiently used, to somewhere it is inefficiently used, you're actually losing wealth, by that wealth you now no longer generate.

Communist States normally do not publish truthful and accurate numbers for anything, and there is no indication in the HN story, or the FoR as to where these numbers come from. It may be they come from the national robotics bodies (which are members of the FoR), in which case they come from an organization under the thumb of the Chinese State, and so where the numbers are not going to be accurate or truthful.
> 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".

You have a bar, and you let anyone come in and say whatever they want, because you like free speech. At first it's just a normal bar. Then the local Nazi gang finds out about it, they show up and start saying Nazi shit to everyone. Everyone else stops coming because they don't want to hear Nazi shit, so, it's a Nazi bar now. The only people there are Nazis or people who don't mind drinking with Nazis. You say you aren't a Nazi, but you own the Nazi bar.

Substack is the Nazi bar.

Because presumably setting an expire time in the past and iterating over every used set of attributes would get the job done to delete the cookie.
Iterating over all possible (plausible?) attributes may also work, but knowing the specific attributes set would narrow that list of erasing writes to issue.
Cookies need to die. Their only legitimate use is with for which we have the Authentication header. Having a standard way to authenticate into a website in a browser would be amazing, just too bad that Basic and Digest auth wasn’t good enough at the time.

You asked, referring to Palestine's admission to the ICC:

> good for them; is there some reason they shouldn't have?

Their point is that the ICC should only be admitting those who intend to abide by the rules that ICC exists to enforce. Since it was Palestine's admission you asked about their answer referred to Palestine leaders' intentions with regard to those rules.

That Israel also doesn't abide by those rules is not relevant to the question you asked. It would be relevant if the question was whether or not Israel should be admitted to the ICC (and Palestinian lack of abiding by those rules would be irrelevant to that question).

Dad probably doesn't really need it, ever.

One friend argued he really needed a truck because he bought a lawn mower off Facebook Marketplace and wouldn't have possibly gotten it home without his truck. It's the only truck-like thing he's done in a year or two. Strange, I managed to put a lawnmower in my small crossover/hatchback without any issues.

Another argued he needed a truck because he goes mountain biking. No possible way to take a bicycle without an extended cab 6ft bed.
