there are several flaws in your typical zionist argument:

1. jews as a minority have lived in the lands of Filistine and Jerusalem peacefully and coexisted just fine for millennia, before the zionist project.

2. the fact that small minority of jews lived there does not give an excuse to ethnically cleanse the local population of arabs.

3. the claim that modern european jews from Rhine and pale of settlement (AshkeNazi) have any connection to ancient Israelites from 2000+ years ago is laughable. Most genetic analysis proved that it is Palestinians, Jordanian Christians are native to the land, not european settlers from Poland, Lithuania, Belorussia, Ukraine with last names like Mileikowsky (Bibi's actual name), Mabovitch (golda's name) etc.

4. Filistine and Jerusalem did not have a problem with antisemitism and jew hate, UNTIL european settlers showed up. Antisemitism is purely european concept imported into Middle East.

5. All studies have shown that Israel/zionism is a colonial settler project created by Brits to secure Suez Canal from the ottomans. Later it would become American "unsinkable aircraft carrier" in the middle east to bomb and murder oil rich countries in the middle east

The old "use your agency" response never gets old does it, no matter how much consumer alternatives are whittled away, and no matter how much the abusive corporate behaviour gets ratcheted up and normalized. Do you actually make a profit yourself from forcing ads on paying customers who can't choose to avoid your services, or just aspire to one day?

Cunningly my company doesn't do meetings, at least not on the developer side. Obviously there are interactions but they are one-on-one and are not reoccurring.

My experience though is consulting to large organizations. They have lots more people, more layers, and hence need more accountability. I get the need for that, but also see that balance is required. I help both sides understand the requirements of the other party, and help them find balance so that both sides win.

Part of that is helping programmers understand what managers need, and part of that is helping managers understand what programmers need.

Managers, for example, are happy to add everyone to every meeting. Workers usually prefer one on one time.

Equally co-workers often benefit from set-aside time for team meetings. This helps with in-team communication.

Information flow is necessary. Doing it well is better for everyone.
Very unlikely. The per country quota is to limit influence of any one country via immigration.
There are some draft PDFs of the standard floating around that are easily discoverable. It appears to be incredibly vague and it’s difficult to escape the sense that ISO just wants to jump on the AI bandwagon. There are no bright line rules or anything. It looks to be little more than weak scaffolding which a certified organization applies their own controls.
If you’re afraid of the experimental status, there are plethora of pinning solutions other than flakes which work with NixOS today and will continue working until roughly the end of time

> > They cannot protect you AT ALL from covid or any small viruses

> Oh my, next you'll be telling me COVID was/is a hoax and that the earth is flat.

You left out the part where it says so on the box. You're also changing the subject from the horrible and unjustifiable masking of children. Changing the subject is an implied concession. Making up a strawman is pretty desperate. Masking the children was horrible and unjustifiable, and you know that quite well. And you know what, I thank you and the others who engaged in it for it because now no one will be able to do that again for another hundred years. Covid Zero ended in China because the CCP found the limit of what people would tolerate without revolting -- all those petty tyrants clad in full body PPE were going to be getting killed, that much was clear. Here in Texas all that crap got nipped in the bud real quick and next time will be much quicker.
For caring you need empathy.

I hear people all around me all the time be boastful of how much they don't care. It's a competition.
> I like how even in this thread, you have many people - almost certainly very few of whom have no real stake in the fight

A popular chant is "The children of Gaza is our children too." Israel has killed up to 5% of Gaza's population and injured ~15%, about half of whom are children. It's not tribalism to be disgusted by such carnage. I don't agree with the claim that we don't have a stake in this fight.
Hasnt happened at the country level but has happened at the company level
in situations like that, i like to think about Berkson's paradox [0].

In the overall population, bedside manner and medical aptitude are likely uncorrelated. But the individuals that fall into the quadrant of bad bedside manner AND low medical aptitude will be filtered out of the profession. That means that in the remaining population, you have an externally-induced negative correlation between bedside manner and medical aptitude.

So if you find a doctor with bad bedside manner, they're likely to have better medical aptitude otherwise they would've been filtered out.

I’ve become less impressed with AI performing well on standardized tests. I’m not tracking AI daily so this might be a known insight, but nearly the entire space of a given discipline’s standardized test questions is enumerable by today’s computers, or very close. That’s my guess. These standardized test questions are generally of a very structured format, even Math Olympiad. “Why that’s still billions and billions of possible questions” thinks the average person. And everyone on this forum knows that this is easily manageable with today’s technology.

So the computer can train on almost all possible standardized test questions, effectively memorizing their answers in a very compressed format with a very interesting adaptive compression algorithm. So for a AI, standardized tests are open book exams. But those questions are designed to challenge human students in closed book exams under human time constraints. So, who cares?

Where is my reasoning faulty?
Thats a cop out.

I'm so glad that someone else had the patience and articulation to write this article so that I didn't have to (as a personal venting exercise). My personal takeaway of the mutually shared frustrations in poor design has been apparent since maybe the 1990's onwards. It is very sad to see throwaway consumerism, permeate culture to the point where from an industrial design POV you need to buy vintage or ludicrously expensive appliances to have a beautiful and functional product that is also reliable. In the past decades, companies like Braun were able to bring beauty into the house, where now Temu disposables have taken their place.
As someone mentioned:

Yep, I've seen a company completely taken over by a single nationality and the result wasn't anything to be happy about.

Those are more deeply integrated. The camera unit tends to be more closer to store-bought compared to other peripherals, and theory of operations hasn't converged.
As always, ISO certification provides a handy framework that you can turn off in one go, in case you need a bunch of 'down and dirty irresponsible AIs' to do something like a mop up operation.

They retired the 42000 specification because it answered everything and provided no further path for monetization.
There is nothing inherently good about wafer scale. It's actually harder to dissipate heat and enable hybrid bonding with DRAM. So the gp is entirely correct that you need to actually show higher silicon utilization to be even considered as being something worthwhile.
This is the problem (from the article):
In addition to Big Tech companies, consulting firms like Cognizant, Tata and Infosys are also among the largest recipients of H-1B visas, providing tech companies with a steady pipeline of highly educated, well-trained employees willing to work on contract.

The workers brought in by Cognizant, Tata and Infosys are actually not highly skilled, and they undercut American workers. Their use of H-1B visas should be limited, and the visas should be reserved for highly paid workers who work for Meta, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and so on.
Predictability and accuracy, duh
I think the reasoning here is to have the fabrication being done away from areas where a natural disaster might cause an issue. No earthquakes, no tornadoes, no hurricanes, no heavy winter storms with a ton of snow, etc. If you locate it on an elevated area with good drainage there won't be any problems with desert storms/flooding either.
Its a growth hack, I understand that. But when creating something better than PH, it would be good to see something different than PH, the more focus on product than the makers themselves.

Most product launches from seasoned makers get a fair amount of attention anyway, isn't your mission to put focus on product no matter the maker? Not let the product get buried down because a well known maker has launched something else thats getting most of the attention?
Are there any command line tools that will help me with the drudgery of diving into an existing Java project using gradle and say something like “please update the dependencies of this package to this version using the existing project conventions in the entire project”? And give a changeset I can start validating and reviewing?

Most of my experiments have been IntelliJ plugins. I like what they have to offer but feel like they are quite far away from the unified understanding of the specific very complicated codebase I have to work in.

Too bad the story got flagged as nobody had anything to say other than Trump. :/
The earliest authors of the codes were very clear about these motivations, in books from the time, which I do not have handy. So, take that as you will from a random internet commenter.

But I think that even without the motivations being written out, it's pretty clear in the nature of their differences.
The latest trend is to change your underfloor heating to a air-to-water heatpump system. In theory that can be used to heat and cool. They can also achieve very high SCOP values, meaning you need less energy. Air-to-air heatpumps (aircons that can heat and cool) have the downside that in heating, they disturb the boundary layer around a person, so the perceived temperature is lower. They also have a much more limited SCOP range - mostly because the delta temperature has to be higher.

Edit: I forgot to mention - in some countries installing a heatpump that can also cool does not qualify for government subsidies - so many of them don't have that feature. This seems like a really short-sighted decision IMO.
I was suggesting a limit based on subnational distinctions or another form of delineation. Although in general, I tend to be anti immigration, so I would rather just see a total cap and no quota.
Hamas was for the vast majority of its existence anti-Iran, and instead was supported by various Sunni groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. Extrapolating convenient conclusions doesn't help anyone.
> A business writer with no political knowledge decides to weigh in on politics in a clearly performative way.

Um, no. Wokeism is definitely within his wheelhouse as a VC, as it plays a big role in corporate policies, and macro market conditions, even in tech.

> associating and supporting Nazis is wrong

That wasn't your original quote, you mentioned seating positions. Unless you just mistakenly left out the part about it being in a prison I don't see how that original statement makes sense.
Sadly, ISO 42001 certification doesn't ensure compliance with the EU AI Act.

Since this is European legislation, it would be beneficial if certifications actually guaranteed regulatory compliance.

For example, while ISO 27001 compliance does establish a strong foundation for many compliance requirement

Are you talking about full on translation, or just translating individual words?

Yes macOS has builtin OCR, but what about the translation itself? You still need a cloud service for that.

If you want to read Japanese but lookup words/kanji you don't understand, I have a tool for that (full disclosure: it's a paid app) that I developed for exactly this purpose. Yomitai: https://yomitai.app/
> So you can pay for “McDonald’s without analytics” by paying list prices in cash at the register.

I didn't know they took orders at the register still. I've only been in once (last year) in the past 20 years, but they seemed to insist on kiosk-only. Not sure if the drive-thru is like that too.
> One knob you could change that should radically alter that is zfs_txg_timeout which is how many seconds ZFS will accumulate writes before flushing them out to disk.

I don't believe that zfs_txg_timeout setting would make much of a difference for the test I described where I was doing synchronous writes.

> On Linux, I think journald would be aggregating your logs from multiple services so at least you wouldn't be incurring that cost on a per-program basis.

The server I'm setting up will be hosting several VMs running a mix of OSes and distros and running many types types of services and apps. Some of the logging could be aggregated but there will be multiple types of I/O (various types of databases, app updates, file server, etc...) and I wanted to get an idea of how much file system overhead there might be in a worst case kind of scenario.

> I sure hope I've upgraded SSDs by the year 2065.

Since I'll be running a lot of stuff on the server, I'll probably have quite a bit more writing going on than the test I described so if I used ZFS I believe the SSD could reach its rated endurance in just several years.

There was a lot of contradictory reporting about negotiations and which said had accepted/rejected the deal. But one thing I think is undisputed is that Israel signed because they were pressured to, and is generally not happy with the deal. At least that's what they're saying publicly. Because of that I find it more credible that they were the bigger impediment to getting a deal done.
They decided they want to actually get paid for their work and changed their pricing structure so large companies need to pay for their software and apparently that's terrible and everybody started being very vocal about alternatives despite still being able to use it for free.

I see this fallacy a lot in the US. I think it's because of our individualism. Attention and hard-work can't overcome everything, we aren't all-powerful beings.
> But presumably he's writing other files to disk too. Not just that one file.

Yes, there will be much more going on than the simple test I was doing. The server will be hosting several VMs running a mix of OSes and distros and running many types types of services and apps.
Antrophic has to be the worst offender in answering genuinely harmless questions such as anything related to remote access (yes! including ssh).

Anything related to reverse engineering? Refused.

Anything outside their company values? Refused.

Anything that has the word proprietary in it? Refused.

Anything that sounds like a jailbreak, but isn't? Refused.

Even asking how to find a port that you forgot in the range between 30000 and 40000 with netcat command... Refused.

Then there's openai 4o that makes jokes about slaves and honestly, if the alternative is anthropic then openai can might as well tell people how to build a nuke.
In my experience, Canada does an excellent job where this program fails. I entered on the high skill “express entry” visa for a tech job. After 18 months we had permanent residency. After 3.5 years, we had citizenship. It was all online and easy enough for us to do ourselves with minimal stress.

During the express entry period where you are employer sponsored, unlike in the US, if you get fired, you have until your visa expires to find another sponsoring job (the visa is valid for 5 years IIRC).

I’m pretty happy with how it went and glad we can settle, I’m not sure we would have chosen Canada if a rapid permanent path hadn’t been clear up front.

I've only used "good enough", and have only ever seen it used, when enough margin beyond bare minimum exists to make it "good enough", which requires caring.

I suppose it depends on the personal definition of good enough, but I like to reserve "bare minimum" for those who truly do the minimal work, teetering on line between functional and non-functional.

Fumbling around, having fun, making nothing serious for 40ish years. There is a comical wall I was unable to see until someone on this website pointed it out. Anything small enough I can improve until it is a shiny gem. If the project is slightly larger I end up creating puzzle pieces that look like they belong to entirely different puzzles. Until it was pointed out I failed to realize they are entirely different skills with much less in common than it seems.
