> the Levant separated the empires of Mesopotamia and Anatolia from Egypt. The numerous battles that happened at Meggido

The Egyptians were a major force in fomenting regional frictions with Israel. And the Levant remains a crossroad—it borders by land or sea the spheres of influence of the EU, Russia, Turkey, Iran, the Gulf monarchies, Egypt and America.

> convincing rulers in the Levant to ally themselves more closely with them at the expense of the Assyrians

Iran versus the West (and Gulf monarchies) in literally Syria.

The region isn’t pre-destined for chaos. But the geography and history make peace difficult. (There is always another person who can “legitimately” claim some land when you’re sited next to the cradle of civilisation.)
>I'm sure whatever they used to convince people to spend that much money is based on science that isn't just "the tests go better" but actually "the learning is better".

Likewise, I'm sure that science is weaker than it first appears.

I can point you to dozens of studies showing spaced repetition is robust and effective, across a wide variety of domains.

>[S]paced repetition has been part of education since forever hasn't it. Yes it's slightly easier with a PDF. But you'd have to assume they thought of that too...

In fact I only found out about spaced repetition near the end of high school, so no, I wouldn't call it "part of education since forever". In fact I consider the fact it isn't a topic we scream about from the hilltops and make it a known thing for students a great civilization-wide error. It seems closer to an open secret that was a lot less well known even just a decade ago.

It's also not "slightly" easier with a PDF, it's much easier. Individual cards that would take much longer to create by hand (image occlusions in particular) take less than a minute with software. There is a reason I insist upon using ebooks these days, paper books just can't compete with that kind of efficiency.
They spoke on their podcast (I think it was there?) about ditching Tofino for the next generation of the Oxide computer. So it sounds like the current model will always ship with Tofino, but due to no future product development they won't use it again in a new machine. It sounded like they had just secured a replacement for the future but I can't remember who it was.
I don't understand how they're safer, because locally they've installed a few and they're already dying, and dying by strobing on and off at about 1Hz, which makes it quite hard to drive through. They're so bright that this failure mode is like a disco strobe light.

This failure is so severe that regardless of how it might be elsewhere, to me it seems like the people who decided to use these LED lights and continue to advocate for them really don't care about people.
> Connecting people to other people, to life changing art, places and things that they end up loving and wouldn’t know about otherwise?

Does your opinion change if you understand that none of that is remotely real or actually exists?

You have an app that is designed to feed you Potemkin villages, and here you are praising their real estate value.

> That has to be one of the best uses for technology. I’d like to see more of it.

That's like praising psychosis for being one of the best mental illnesses, and concluding that you'd like to see more of it.
I also was told tofino was looking EOL. Like NUC, dropped from some C suites KPI set and longterm roadmap.

I'd love to be wrong, this is just what people said.
> I treat buying individual shares as yuppie gambling at this point. It can be fun, but it’s usually a bad strategy.

I would actually recommend the opposite - buy shares of a few companies that you know exceptionally well. That is, not just the companies, but also the market, the industry trends, etc. Charlie Munger recommends holding 5 stocks at max, while Peter Lynch suggests industries that are tangential to your work and daily life. Both solid advice. Revisit the list every year, and you'll already do better than most of the blind duds investing in the S&P500 (which arguably contains a lot of duds).

The problem with most ETFs is that you'll still be investing in a bunch of dud companies, whose only reason for staying in the market is by virtue of being big (think HPs and IBMs, for example).
This is nonsense. The media constantly runs overt level 0 propaganda that directly furthers the interests of the US political establishment. It's certainly not some secret 5d chess ploy to turn everybody into jaded anti-establishment types.

Even more so because once you do realize how silly things are (on both sides of the aisle) your favorite media outlet quickly becomes NOTA.
I’ll confess to being ignorant on the science. For instance I know that many of the local guides don’t use oxygen, but attributing that capability to time at altitude (“training” for lack of a better word) or genetics (on the back of generations of “training”?).

Either way, I like the thought experiment! :D
An update would be useful.
I suppose if we are to digress to the land of "shoulds", Israel should not have decided to delete tens of thousands of Gazan children in the interim.

Even if we grant that Israel offered this ceasefire deal in good faith in May, a bungled deal by Qatar/Egypt/Hamas does nothing to justify the ethnic cleansing they conducted in 2024.

>I can't take an Andy Warhol painting, modify it in some way and then claim it's my own original work. I have some obligation to say "Yeah, I used a Warhol painting as the basis for it".

If you dont replicate Warhols painting entirely, then you are fine. Its original work.

The number of Scifi novels I read that are just an older concept reimagined with more modern characters is huge.

>I can't take an Andy Warhol painting, modify it in some way and then claim it's my own original work. I have some obligation to say "Yeah, I used a Warhol painting as the basis for it".

In most sane jurisdictions you can sample other work. Consider collage. It is usually a fair use exemption outside of the USA. If LLMs cause keyboard warriors to develop some seppocentric mindvirus leading to the destruction of collage I will be pissed.

>There's also still the issue that some LLMs and (I believe) image generation AI models have regurgitated works from their training models - in whole or part.

Considered a high priority bug and stamped out. Usually its in part because a feature is common to all of an artists work, like their signature.
As others make clear here you have agency in theory, but in practice your ability to use that agency is very much dependent on how well the world enables the exercise of that agency. Something to think about, interdependence and all that.

thats not true.
before the declaration of independence, there was hardly any abar jews migration to Israel for several reasons:

1. Arab jews lived peacefully among muslims and coexisted just fine, they were not subject to european disrimination and pogroms

2. Iraqi jews did not want to immigrate to Israel, so Mossad planted bombs and organized false flags to scare them and force them to immigrate (https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/iraq-jews-attacks-zionist...)

3. Other arab countries also did not want to emigrate, Ben Gurion paid a lot of money for each family to encourage immigration. It is laughable to claim that arabs prosecuted jews, when in fact they coexisted for millennia and lived in the same neighborhoods without any segregation (that existed in Europe)

4. Mizrahi jews who immigrated to Israel suffered from severe discrimination by european ashkenazi. Only low paid jobs were given to Arab jews due to racism. Same racism is towards yemeni jews who were even subject to illegal sterilization

after the Nakba situation in arab countries changed, but it was reactionary to Nakba
The funny thing is, in my neck of Seattle (the city this post is complaining about), I've seen some of the harsh white LEDs that went in switched over to a warmer color. I remember being quite shocked when I pulled into a city-owned parking lot one night and realized that all of the lights around were all now a warmer color instead of the harsh white. The lights in my neighborhood also seem to have been switched over at some point. I suppose they're the tunable LEDs, but clearly someone here does care.

Say you run a small ISP. You pay for (and utilize) a 10Gbps link to the internet from a big ISP: Cogent, maybe.

You look at your network traffic and notice 5Gbps of it all seems to be going to a single AS: Google. Your customers just love Youtube, and they are pulling down a ton of video.

Rather than leaving that as an interesting factoid, you decide to reach out to Google and pitch them on cutting out Cogent. You run a cable (more-or-less literally) from your network to Google. That 5Gbps of Youtube traffic is running over your connection directly to Google.

Now you can go back to Cogent and drop your commit from 10Gbps to 5Gbps, saving you a bunch of money. Google doesn't have to pay them for transit either: they can serve content to your users straight through the cross-connect. Win-win.

If a particular company is _really_ big, say: Netflix, Cloudflare, etc: you, as a small ISP, might even offer to give them some space in your server racks to host local caches. This makes the performance better for your customers, and, again: saves transit costs.
> those who are Islamic today but whose genetic ancestors practiced Judaism in the past and lived in the historical kingdom of Israel have far greater claim to the land

Broadly speaking, any philosophy that rests on an oldest-claims-first metric are guaranteed to cause violence.

Information degrades the further we go back; you’re prioritising the wishy-washiest sources of truth. And the nature of human migration and interbreeding means the further you go back, the less likely you are to find genetic ancestors of the people who currently control the land. The people alive on the land you want them off. People with guns.

(The theory is also fundamentally based on the notion that racial migration is wrong. Immigrants to America have less claim than white Americans, who have less claim than natives, except for all the natives who were conquered each other because they moved around too.)
It’s an anti competitive strategy, which in an ideal world would see them facing a crushing antitrust lawsuit from the FTC and DOJ. What they’re doing is forcing everyone to pay for their AI product. This makes it so that no other company can charge for their alternative AI products. After all, if your company’s spending goes up because of this Google price increase, your executives will not want to see double spending on AI products. So all those deserving smaller companies will miss out on these customers. Google is essentially using this forced price increase to kill their AI competitors by stealing their revenue, through illegal bundling. Just like Microsoft did with Teams to attack Slack illegally.
Nitpick: "are actually purple" makes it sound like they came out of the factory purple, but they're actually changing from white to purple over time as the phosphor coating fails.
This is like the whole bugs in food thing.

Sometimes no bugs are allowed at all, people be getting upset if their pop tarts have bugs in them.

Sometimes it's like some bugs are allowed and just part of it like when I buy organic broccoli at the farmers market and need to soak it to get whatever those things are in there out. Or when I get those little mummified bugs in the bottom of oatmeal tins.

Sometimes it's like the food is literally coated in bugs like all that stuff that's coated on schellac. Which, finally to bring it back to a callback to your point, is both GRAS and also made of bugs.
The SEC is charging them with it (as did the DOJ in parallel) - but that’s not the same as a judgment. The way this works is the SEC accuses, and it will need to then go through the legal process of our justice system (or settle it separately). But as of right now, the Adani group hasn’t been found guilty of anything.

The main issue raised in Hindenburg’s report is around accounting. It is too early to draw any final conclusions since I don’t think independent audits have been conducted yet. The Adani group consists of many companies in many industries - some of them did switch auditors after the report came out and financial filings have continued normally since those changes. I don’t think any smoking gun has come out yet that actually proves the accusations from Hindenburg.
And all the hostages are really just kept inside secret IDF facilities, right?

Who knows where the balance actually lies, but it's not just pro-Palestinians doing the propaganda here.

That's the case where I live, there's only a few surgeries I'm allowed to register at and they all have this problem. I think there is some manipulation of statistics the surgeries do to prevent more being created, and to hide the difficulty in getting an appointment. For example rather than having 6 month waiting list, they don't make appointments more than a few weeks in advance, so you just can't get an appointment and it looks like nobody waits more than a few weeks. I think while surgeries are allowed to do this we'll never understand the real capacity.

Psychologists do take it seriously even though they have as of yet not added it to the DSM. Here's a discussion on Psychology Today from 2019 [1] on the subject of 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'. The conclusion was that:

The wider public may be unaware that psychiatrists and social scientists spend considerable time and energy behind closed doors pondering over the existence and reality of mental conditions. This has led the APA to revise the DSM five times since 1952, considerably expanding the list of official mental disorders with each revision. As far as I am aware, few psychiatrists are currently arguing that DSM-6 should contain TDS as a mental disorder.

That said, in its official definition of mental disorder, the DSM-5 states that "a mental disorder is a syndrome characterized by clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior…mental disorders are usually associated with significant distress in social, occupational, or other important activities."

Many have argued that some people have been seriously disturbed and distressed by the policies, speech, behavior, and tweets of President Trump, so much so that it has affected their cognitive, affective, and behavioral functioning. Such people may need mental health support. As such, further research is necessary to investigate the extreme reactions toward President Trump, in the same way that researchers investigate other extreme social phenomena, such as Beatlemania or the like. This will shed light on the reality of this emerging folk category that has been labelled by many as "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Short sellers are built on their reputation, and Hindenburg has a lot of that. Even if you fired the people, you'd keep the name.

That said, it would be wrong to automatically assume that they try to maximize gains; at this point, it's likely most of the team has enough money to retire, and at that point, making even more might not be their primary goal.
Yes. Over 12 years of use I have consistently found spaced repetition to be the most enjoyable way to learn basically anything, and essentially the only way to ensure things I don't regularly use as part of my job continue to be things I can remember. Some subjects I have in rotation at the moment: Finnish, Haskell, SQLite database internally, cash management and financial jargon, old photos and video clips of my childhood cat who I loved dearly.

But, more to the point: You seem confused as to the true generality of the technique. Flashcards can be used in much more interesting ways than just checking to see if you can recite all the lines of Homer correctly or something.

The vast majority of cards I have are questions of understanding - e.g. a card like "How many unique strands of DNA can be made from 100 A-T pairs and 100 C-G pairs?" You can't memorize all those digits. You need to remember how to solve the problem, which is quite simple, but not so simple it's worthless for a non-mathematician to solve without pen and paper.
>What if I can't drive all the way to an ad-free restaurant

Eating at a restaurant is a luxury. If you don't like the experience, don't go (or don't go back). You're free to make your own food with stuff you buy at the supermarket, and you'll most likely get something healthier and much lower-priced. The entire point of a restaurant is to pay more money, frequently a LOT more, for a combination of convenience, service, ambiance, and food that might not be so easy for you to make at home (e.g. pizza) due to skill or equipment limitations.

Good idea if you host a server, but then probably you also could employ HTTP/2 which doesn't have this limitation.

If you offer an executable where the end-user runs it on their own laptop or desktop, you can't expect them to configure multiple domains, but probably there's a way to work-around that: have multiple localhosts like 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, and so on, but there's still one limitation: if the end-user wants to run it on a home server, this won't work as well. In that case tell him to define multiple names for the home server. Ugh.

You need a rectilinear polygon that tessellates, and has the fewest sides possible to minimize the number of cuts necessary. And it would probably help the cutting if the shape is entirely convex, so that cuts can overshoot a bit without damaging anything.

That suggests a rectangle is the only possible shape.
