It's important to note all of those are political.
It's also important to note free democracies are a minority in the world.

The ICC and the ICJ didn't rule on this.

I don't think either the CPJ or the MSF have voiced a specific opinion on this question either. The CPJ specifically counts media people in the Islamic Jihad or Hamas as "journalists" which is extremely questionable. Many western countries would consider them to be "terrorists". They are hurting the cause they are meant to champion by pursuing a political agenda and they're being used.

All of that doesn't change the reality that a high casualty count in a war or that civilian population is suffering in said war does not constitute a genocide. It's a reality of war. A war that can end this second by Hamas surrendering and returning the hostages.

Israel's critics also always fail to provide some reasonable alternative course of actions that would lead to very different outcomes. I think it's fair to critique some specific decisions, like targeting, the use of heavy munitions etc. but some small changes there still all result in the same outcome, a prolonged war amidst civilians that is primarily the goal of Hamas. Hamas wants to hide amongst civilians and keep fighting until Israel is destroyed.
That's the reality of deploying professionally though. I've got a soft spot for debian from using it for over 20 years too, but choosing open source often means picking the vendor that accommodates the use case. Many products have the enterprise upsell of good LDAP/AD integration but that's just a nice to have when you're really buy it for the ability to call someone when shit goes sideways.

And when you don't need the support net, it's often gonna be ubuntu because that's what most people are comfortable with. Or yocto if you're shipping a custom OS. And containers are so ephemeral and purpose specific it means distro doesn't matter as much.

I'm still rooting for them the most. They're community based, an important upstream, and stable has never done me dirty. It's still my go-to for "I don't want to think hard about, or worry about this system."
> So what’s gonna be VW’s answer?

As crazy as it sounds if you know anything about the industry, better management and increasing wages in China.

Chinese firms are generally extremely dysfunctional internally. That didn’t matter when they paid people a small fraction of western wages, but significant wage growth for years adds up. Continue ~9%/year wage growth and things would be at near parity in a little over a decade.

Obviously, that’s no guarantee but rapidly developing countries eventually develop. Things are about to get really interesting.
Sure. I saw you say that society had failed the other person, and that society had failed the main character of the story. Accusations of failure are generally viewed as accusations of blame. Many people use the concept of society to externalize fault. This isn't always the case, so I tried to frame my post as a point of clarification not necessarily one of negation
Is it better to be unemployed rather than to find a crappy job that pays the bills? (AKA sucking it up while paying bills and looking for a real career job.)

I was in a similar situation and I worked at a warehouse as a loader, then at a kiosk to sell toys, and then sold necklaces at a mall (none of them were my businesses, just worked.) And I worked as a mover. Many odd jobs but I never accepted being unemployed for 2 years while depleting my savings.

Whether it is a matter of being homeless or not, I can find 1000+ odd jobs that pay for something + food from Craigslist right now. This is the reason why you will rarely see an immigrant being homeless or being picky about the jobs they find. Staying unemployed for years until finding the "best job" is a very privileged mindset. 3 months in no job? Find something to float, don't wait until your dream job appears out of nowhere.

I survived with $1000 a month for a very long time (in America, the money I earned from my jobs) while paying for a room, eating + transportation. If I had 80k, I'd buy a cheap van, live in it for free, and eat the bare minimum nutrition I need ($150 a month). I can survive with 80 for over a decade easily. God knows what this person is doing with his money. I am certain he has parents that he can count on.

These posts are extremely bizarre.

Now, downvote me to hell.
Oh missed the context, my bad. That being said, in that case, I’m definitely not convinced by the need for toLower (:
December 2022 was not a great time to quit a tech job. I too have been unemployed during the same period (except for a 3 month part-time gig last summer) after the startup I was working for lost it's funding in December '22. Fortunately, I've got a paid-off house and a good amount of savings (plus I'm old enough to start withdrawing from my retirement accounts and since our income is pretty low the ACA subsidies are working out great for being able to afford health insurance. At this point I consider myself semi-retired as I'm not interested in playing the tech interviewing game anymore, but if someone comes to me and wants me to work on an interesting project then I'll give it serious consideration (as was the case last summer).

Well, they are for privatizing health care I think? That's pretty right wing? But, yes your right wind is waaaaay more to the right than the norm.
At work our clickstream data carries an 'event_uuid' column which combines uuid, bigint, account numbers and about 10 other identifiers. It makes joining really convenient when you don't know what column to use.

What they claim is that if all editing stops, then after a period of time everybody will be looking at the SAME document. This is what is meant by "eventual consistency". Achieving this in general is indeed a difficult problem, but (some of) these algorithms do solve it, though it can be tricky to correctly prove that they do. I agree that it is not possible to ensure that the document everybody is looking at is what they actually wanted it to be. However, there are some options for what happens, where some results may be technically correct -- we are all looking at the same thing -- but obviously really bad. This beautiful talk has some examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7drE24geUw
Whenever I read articles like this and the ensuing "just relax and go have fun/travel" comment chains, I think to myself I'm living in an alien universe. Not having a job is a pants-on-fire emergency, and I would be interviewing 24/7 until I corrected it, even if the hiring market meant that was hopeless. I'd be a nervous wreck until I found a job, any job.

It's absolutely wild to see people 1. with the privilege of having $80K in liquid savings to just... chill while unemployed, and 2. with the willingness and mindset that allows them to do that chilling without freaking out. Total Zen Masters you all are. I couldn't do it.

Every $10K I blew through while unemployed, I'd be thinking to myself: Accounting for time value of money, that's just pushed out my retirement date by 3 more months.

EDIT: I guess I should add that I'm married with a kid, since that obviously does affect the math on this one. Still, I don't think I'd change my opinion if I was single.
"Communists won, and wrote history."

I've been using guidance, outlines, GBF grammars, etc. What advantage does dspy have over those alternatives?

I've learnt that the best package to use LLMs is just Python. These "LLM packages" just make it harder to do customizations as they all make opinionated assumptions and decisions.

Your assumption is wrong. The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) imposed a minimum medical loss ratio on health plans. If they pay out less than that on claims then the excess is refunded to customers.

https://www.cms.gov/marketplace/private-health-insurance/med...

Most large employers now have self-funded health plans where they bear most of the financial risk and indirectly pay most of your claims. Thus HR departments have a major incentive to switch carriers to lower costs. Regence probably negotiated lower rates with their network providers.

But if you really think it's a scam then you're free to opt out of coverage during open enrollment.
Macron chose someone from the lowest-vote party (LR) to spit in the faces of the voters. The largest bloc was leftists, so they should have gotten an opportunity to form a government. But even if he decided his future was with the extreme right, choosing an RN PM would have made sense.

But no, he chose a personal ally who nobody liked.

You probably have ASCII-adjacent name to begin with, so people who can read some kind of language using Latin letters will simply ignore "funny dots and dashes" and pronounce it kinda wrong.

It's on a different level from having a name originally written in a different alphabet entirely. At this point you just have it written in two scripts, with second being ASCII.
Can I ask what site it was? Reading this made me think of a very specific site that I'd also like to see revived and I'm wondering if we're thinking of the same site.
Except the fruit in the past was often available out of season but as pickling or preserves, via either excesses of salt or sugar. For several centuries. Let alone the parts of the world that don't really have four seasons, instead having only two, wet and dry seasons. The point being I'm not sure how much relatively recent norms will actually be able to tell us about health.

His timing wasn't great. The tech job market is pretty dismal right now and will likely be dismal for a while. Unless we get back to a hot tech job market like circa 2020-2022 it's not going to be easy to find a gig after being out for 2 years.

If they are just compress the 40 hours down to 4 days, then this won't work. I don't know how it works in Japan, but how the hell are you suppose to drop off and pick up kids with a 10 hour day, are schools and daycare even available 11-12 hours per day? They'd be increasing the stress four days a week to an ungodly level where families won't be able to function.

Most of these four-day workweeks are almost always bullshit, because they insist on keeping the same hours. I hope that's not the case here. Some companies have been experimenting with just slashing a day a week completely and it always increase productivity, retention and happiness.
They do on newer chargers.

am I understanding correctly that you're suggesting that an Iowa poll was artificially made to favour Harris in order to get more people to vote for her?
I dont really see the issue here? Obviously the parents are the stable anchor in that situation, and the kids probably had a great time traveling and exploring the world with their parents. I would honestly prefer that compared to the usual childhood experience you get nowadays, which is sitting around watching youtube brainrot right after being subjected to public school brainrot for 8 hours.
Today an AI tool let me build a new tool from scratch.

I published it to a git repo with unit tests, great coverage, security scanning, and pretty decent documentation of how the tool works.

I estimate just coding the main tool would have been 2 or 3 days and all the other overhead would have been at least another day or two. So I did a week of work in a few hours today. Maybe it did 70%, maybe it did 42.5%, either way it was a massive improvement to the way I used to work.

I want to hear about the cats of Chernobyl! I read in a book that "domesticated" cats are essentially the same as wild cats, they just have different habits because of the way they are raised. That suggests to me that in the absence of a human population (and the right climate) some would survive in the wild.

Wow 80k in 2 years is not that much. I am in my 3rd year in bay area. Luckily I had invested and have zero debt so able to survive. Honestly op may not want to hear this but “music, sports” and this line “Once a week, we play board games, cook food, or do coworking sessions. Living with others is not always easy, but it is fun.“ does not tell me you have any focus on getting job. You need to be too busy to even worry about food. What is all this ? You joined a climbing club ? How do you have time ?
> Because it's legal. And what they did now is not legal.

I am not an expert on this, so I'm not saying you are wrong, but why would they not have the prerogative to do this? Do you have any sources for that?

I know at least that there is precedent in the EU - Austria cancelled a round of elections in 2016, also for some electoral law incongruities / technicalities (that at least superficially by my knowledge were less serious than this scandal), done also by their constitutional court.

This is fair critique. ARC Prize's 2024 messaging was sharp to break through the noise floor -- ARC has been around since 2019 but most only learned about it this summer. Now that it has garnered awareness, it is no longer useful, and in same cases hurting progress like you point out. The messaging needs to evolve and mature next year to be more neutral/academic.
from my understanding this is addressed with the new v4 supercharger stations that are coming online now. its not just a rivian problem its the same with Ford EVs as well.

My guess is what they meant by this is the very visible minimarts on gas stations often manned by (presumed) immigrants.
What's a legal name? It presumes it's somehow different from other ... illegal names. But in which way? Which law has a say?
That's a good point, I hadn't thought about it that way. Maybe it's a little less of an arbitrary choice than I was giving it credit for.

It is not, however, Democratus's point. So I think the "words change, deal with it" argument still stands.
Uhm, you have "sympathies which are simply illegal"? Wow. You trust the government to tell you where you can lay your personal sympathies? I sometimes run into casual statements like this that make me SO GRATEFUL I live in the United States.

I feel like every company's (different/contrasting) "design language" and their insistence on using it, ends up being yet another weird looking thing on my computer. I'd rather decide for myself the fonts, color scheme, look and feel, etc. for applications on my computer, and have applications be consistent and respect those preferences. Rather than have some artist I don't know 2,000 miles away from me simply decide what a dialog should look like (and it's always totally different than what some other artist decided a dialog should look like).
>I gave away my Reface DX after I figured out that the non-tactile capacitative touch buttons would trigger randomly when exposed to sunlight while I played it in the park.

You might have had a defective one.

I played mine in every possible setting (walking the streets, in the forest, on a mountain top, in the desert, indoors, outdoors, at night, during the day, etc), and never had that issue. (FWIW I applied all firmware updates when they came out).

I did have other issues though:

— once in a blue moon, it'd factory reset itself on startup while running on batteries (a gentle reminder to back up your patches). I didn't have that issue after switching to powering off a power bank with a USB-to-12v adapter (with USB-C supporting 12V natively, that's just a cable).

— sometimes, F and Bflat would stop responding in all octaves. A gentle whack would fix that. Taking it apart and making sure all the connections are tight seems to have fixed it for good.

What I'm getting at is that there absolutely were some QC issues with an otherwise nearly indestructible instrument (between all the drops and two Burning Man trips, boy did that thing take a beating).

Might be worth giving it another go if that's the only problem.

Why would you accept ArBiTrArY-cased command-line arguments in the first place? I don't think I've ever seen a cli utility that accepts the wrong case. Just compare the raw bytes. `ls --ALL` doesn't work, and neither should `my_app --PORTRAIT` (no matter which "I" you type).
Would this really work? Hardcoded models? When you want to influence a certain topic in a new way, on recent events - this means a new model needs to be created and adjusted all the time. I assume they rather use a complex traditional algorithm that can be tweaked - and if it is in use in US - it can be verified. If it is run through china, then things are clear as well. Do we have technical insights how it works?
The first few years out of university I consistently had < $10k on my bank account and was traveling as much as I could, with just occasional part time work to "fill up" a few k$. I loved it and couldn't imagine living any other way, neither retirement nor risks were just really on my mind at all (it wasn't really a zen thing).

Now I have a child and feel completely different. The moment she arrived I immediately felt way behind on retirement savings and stability and since then my #1 priority has been to catch up. I'm hoping that not long from now I'll be able to translate being more secure on paper to also mentally getting back the care free feeling I had before.
