The trouble with that one is that it's the one caused by people driving too slow, and isn't rare. When people are driving at significant speed differentials to each other, it causes a lot of lane change maneuvers. Which are dangerous because each one is a chance to move into a lane without realizing there is someone in your blind spot, or that the new lane has an obstruction ten feet in front of you, or focus your attention on what's happening in the lane you're intending to change into and fail to notice an immediate hazard in the lane you're still in. So you get more accidents, and those accidents are still happening at highway speed.

Meanwhile a significant proportion of accidents happen not because you couldn't stop fast enough but because you couldn't stop at all. Another driver side swipes you and rams you off the road and you're now three feet from a head-on collision with a utility pole; if you can even get your foot to the brake before impact it's not going to save you. You're driving on an apparently clear road in winter and come across a patch of black ice; your brakes have no effect and you're hitting whatever's in front of you at full speed. It's night, you're tired and you only realize there is a completely dark disabled vehicle in one of the travel lanes when you smash into it.

In cases like this the difference between 30 MPH and 50 MPH can mean a lot, but the difference between 55 MPH and 80 MPH is basically just "you're still dead".

> We have absolutely zero credible evidence of tends of thousands of child deaths.

Unfortunately we have.

> Don’t start stupid wars

This was indeed an insanely stupid move from Hamas.

> Hezbollah (and Iran) has been rational

Idk if I'd call that rational: they were afraid of going war against Israel and they mostly tried to appease it. Only do discover that appeasement doesn't really works well against expansionist superpowers.
This is a great post. Thank you to share your personal experience. Do you think they were first generation Palestinians? Or multi-generation (parents or earlier immigrated)? I know that Michigan state (Detroit, etc.) has one of the largest Arab communities in the United States.
> It's impossible to improve performance when you have to go out to the DB anyway;

That's not right. There are many queries that run far faster in duckdb/datafusion than (say) postgres, even with the overhead of pulling whole large tables prior to running the query. (Or use like pg_duckdb).

For certain types of queries these engines can be 100x faster.

I think the game tries push the player to be as efficient as possible with the information extracted from each clue. While this is true that more evidence is better in real life, it is also the case that finding and analyzing each of these takes time and effort, that need to be used efficiently.

At Google even if you aren't trying to make money, you can get preferred placement in search for some project to boost user numbers and reach. I always worried it made teams complacent about actually making a good product people wanted, but it was hard to resist.
Long ago I worked on the firmware for a game controller. We started getting reports back of ghost inputs like stuck buttons and false presses after we sent some early hardware to media reviewers. Given the power of game media at the time, this was an immediate code red. We took shifts playtesting various video games for nearly a week straight just to try and replicate the issues. No luck, only the reviewers could manifest it. We were about to put reviewers on a plane to demonstrate the issue in person when I decided to clean my desk. In doing so I tossed a bare PCB running debug to the other side of the desk and my console went wild.

Turns out the PCBs were shock/pressure sensitive, and the debouncing was just a bit off. Reviewers were getting really into their games and mechanically stressing the controllers. Stressed hard enough, the PCB would bend slightly, causing line level fluctuations and eventually ghost inputs. Back in the office we were just doing a job and not getting too emotionally involved in our playtesting.

Some new molds and review units later we shipped the working system. Percussive debugging has solved a number of otherwise intractable bugs over my career.
> The average person has effectively zero input into what happens at the Federal level.

A lot of people cared about the Mexican border the last election, and it made a real impact on votes. For better or worse, Trump now has a mandate on border and immigration policy that he'll most likely put to use. That's not to say that election policy platforms are always followed through with (e.g., Obama doubled down on Iraq instead of ending the war, disillusioning many of his voters), but they often are. If people cared more about civil liberties as they did border immigration, a political party would tap into that sentiment, but I'm not seeing that.
Tell that to the hundred of thousands of Israeli who March against Netanyahu every weekend to pressure him to accept a deal he's always refused.
> I still managed to save more money there than I can now. Europe is just poorer,

In Europe (at least speaking from the perspective of the Netherlands) a lot of money / resources go to fee's employer have to pay, unlimited sick days, maternity leave (also for men), protection from getting fired, the fact that you have more humane rights with your blue card then a H1B, etc. That stuff costs a society money and someone has to pay for that. It's all money which is there, but you don't get to "see it" because often it is paid directly by employers. It is basically all wealth redistribution which is simply not there in the US. So sure, it means you will be able to pocket less money, but that doesn't directly mean there is less money in the system.
You are aware, I hope, that Israel pulled back from Gaza completely in 2005, and from Sinai in 1980?

It’s been growing smaller since 1973 (and never technically annexed any area it did temporarily take in a war)

Ukraine won't end until terms can be achieved that allow bankers and Western investors to buy up all the "distressed assets" in the Ukraine for pennies on the dollar just like the oligarchs bought up all of the major industries following the collapse of the USSR.

If you've never seen it, these videos from a banking conference in 2023 are "enlightening":

https://x.com/mtracey/status/1647811834039136258

Mitch McConnell's comments about Ukraine and it's natural resources also support this plan. If assets become to expensive to buy, just cause them to be distressed so you can buy them cheaply.

Pretty much all wars are banker's wars.
If you use k-means to cluster your data into 100 clusters, it will do so, irrespective of whether it is meaningful to do so. Perfectly objective, but what does that objectivity buy you? If your pet theory is that there are 100 groups, you'll be actually less likely to get results that disagree with that than if you ask an LLM how many groups there are.

But the real question is not whether you agree with the results, but whether they're useful. If you apply an objective method to data it is unsuitable for, it's garbage in, objective garbage out. Whether the method is suitable or not is not always something you can decide a priori, then you need to check.

And if trying it out shows that LLM-provided clusters are more useful than other methods, you should swallow your pride and accept that, even if you disagree on philosophical grounds. (Or it might show that the LLM has no idea what it's doing! Then you can feel good about yourself.)
Stocks have been a great inflation hedge in the long term since they’re usually backed by hard assets and people, not numbers in computers. Short term obviously some businesses are hurt by inflation and some benefit.

> Why doesn't this happen every time someone is blackmailed?

It does, quite often. Which is why blackmail is done mainly by those who law enforcement would think twice about going after, and/or those who have nothing to lose.

Plausible deniability, and who is there to rally around?

> India tried assasinating an American citizen on U.S. soil?

I don't know what incident you're talking about, but the fact you say specifically "American citizen" suggests to me you're talking about someone who had strong connections to India and would be generally perceived as Indian.

> What about "opening and operating an illegal overseas police station, located in lower Manhattan, New York, for a provincial branch of the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC)"

That sounds like a propaganda framing. In what sense was this a "police station", much less an illegal one? All they apparently did was "help locate a Chinese dissident living in the US". So the ground facts are more like "the MPS had a private eye working in New York". Which, well, sure; so what?
4 GB VA space. Page tables aren’t that expensive.
This list is quite well-put.

Also, for a large number of roles, people are judged by the net value that they've contributed (net of mistakes). In a pretty large subset of such roles, it's usually the case that small-ish mistakes result in small-ish penalties, or sizeable penalties that aren't apparent immediately – so in the short-term, the here and now, folks in these roles are incentivized to focus on the big picture, and to ignore what they might feel could cause small-ish mistakes.

Consider a person involved with the modification of city street infrastructure to better cater for bikes. It's pretty good by most people's standards to have made progress by building reasonably use-able bike pathways, stands, etc. in say, a 4 km radius in a year. If it just so happens that like three out of, say, sixty of such constructs are problematic (mistakes) but they aren't big-ish problems, then on the whole, this person would be, quite justly, credited for having contributed to at least fifty seven functioning constructs; all in all, pretty good work despite three problematic constructs.

Of course, not all types of work is like that. That is, not all work are that forgiving in the sense that most earnest mistakes turn out to be small ones relative to the overall value produced. E.g., trading: algorithmic or otherwise.

Now, just a note in closing, the distribution of the price of mistakes in a given role is a different matter, can be an art in that it involves qualitative judgement, may be largely sensitive to context, and may be quite opinionated depending on who is reached for comment.
They interview people involved with these companies, then based on these interviews write report that is privately distributed and take out coordinated short positions.

That’s almost the definition of insider trading. Almost. Now afaik what they are doing is nominally above board, but they are walking a very fine line.

Very difficult to predict. Israel unilaterally rejecting a ceasefire plays very differently in the Congress and Tehran than both sides telling the other to fuck off.
ISO is one of those companies, where creativity of employees is blossoming through the roof. Every day they come to work and start the day with a brainstorming "What standard do we create today?". ISO can standardise anything: a standard cup of tea - no problem: ISO 3103, a standard wine glass - yes: ISO 3591, standard alpine ski boots - of course: ISO 5355, a standard human - oh wait, not yet, the standard is being developed :)

Jokes aside, ISO is a company, and they will make a standard for anything where there is even a remote possibility of that standard being purchased.

Those glorified token predictors are the missing piece in the puzzle of general intelligence. There is a long way to go still in putting all those pieces together, but I don't think any of the steps left are in the same order of "we need a miracle breakthrough".

That said, I believe that this is going one of two ways: we use AI to make things materially harder for humans, in a scale from "you don't get this job" to "oops, this is Skynet", with many unpleasant stops in the middle. By the amount of money going into AI right now and most of the applications I'm seeing being hyped, I don't think we have have any scruples with this direction.

The other way this can go, and Cerebras is a good example, is that we increase our compute capability and our AI-usefulness to a point where we can fight cancer and stop/revert aging, both being a computational problem at this point. Even if most people don't realize it, or most people have strong moral objections to this outcome and don't even want to talk about it, so it probably won't happen.

In simpler words, I think we want to use AI to commit species suicide :-)

>I also found Trump's signalling in the whole issue odd.

It doesn't seem odd at all. Trump just went up against the mainstream Israeli-American power structure and won. He was very open that he supports Israel, but not this war. He ran on a premise that he would end the war before he took office. Appointing hard-line pro-Israel people is par for the course. It shows he supports Israel, but it makes those people beholden to him. In one of his books Trump talks about how he would give people
he didn't like / wasn't sure about promotions. If they did a good job and impressed him great. If not he would fire them and felt that firing someone from a higher position was more meaningful and had a greater impact for the people below them.

Trump understands what American power is he doesn't really give the context that other world leaders are looking for, he just goes about it with the premise of comply, or we will make things difficult for you.

Trump basically tells Israel, you can do what you want, but you can't do it like this because it looks bad. The average person just doesn't like what they are seeing with regard to Palestine. Trump isn't ideological about Israel so he's not hellbent on the destruction of Palestine like so many. He gives the same attitude to most of our allies, in that you can be our friend, but you can't make us look bad.
> Information degrades the further we go back

Exactly. Otherwise, anyone could claim anything since we all share the same ancestry, going back to the same primates or something[0]. We should focus on the issues at hand and work to avoid making the situation worse. Forcing all Israelites or Palestinians to leave is not a feasible solution. The problem needs to be addressed through peaceful negotiations and immediate support for those in need.

> the west bank is still being annexed

I am not smart enough to have an opinion on the situation in Gaza that's much more complicated than "people dying is bad", but I struggle to understand how the continued annexation of the West Bank by Israeli settlers, supported by the government and army, is anything other than clearly ethnic cleansing. If it had stopped ten years ago, and it was now a conversation about uprooting the established communities there, maybe then there's room for nuance and so on, but it didn't: it's ongoing.
> It’s horrible. But that’s war.

Was the holocaust just war? Was the Warsaw ghetto uprising a war against Germany? It takes 2 armies to have a war, not a colonized people locked up in an open air prison fighting against a sophisticated army, armed by one of the world's superpower, in flip flops while the colonizing army can't even bother to focus on the fighters and so just drops 2000 pound bunker bombs on entire families over and over again for 15 months straight.

I'm aware that some companies implement that kind of security policy. But that makes it the company's job to make sure fixes for software critical to development are rolled out in a timely fashion. The way the OP is raging at everybody except their own company is totally unreasonable.

Also, disallowing root is developer hostile security theater IMO. It prevents a wide range of debugging techniques while being limited in the kind of harm it prevents.

I suspect the frequency of people asking this type of query is low enough that mainstream apps will likely never implement such a feature.

There’s not many creative suggestions on this post that you probably didn’t think of, or try already.

Have you tried social engineering your way into one?

This is just an idea… but big tech companies have generally got LinkedIn pages with employee’s who love to shamelessly plug their position at their company. So.. why don’t you just use that tool to look at what employee’s have the most influence at companies that appeal to you. Watch those employees and what they follow, like and comment on and see how they engage, notice the kind of language they use, gage their morals and values, look for things you can use to bridge a connection with them, and then… once you start building those connections, start using them as leverage, and a foot in the door to what jobs you want.
A lot of Israelis literally had their (or their parents') homes stolen by Iraqis, Egyptians, Moroccans. In total, Mizrahi Jews had land around 4x the size of Israel stolen from them (and they still have the deeds to prove it). A peace treaty can't truly be comprehensive until they get reparations for that injustice.
leading jewish scholars in Israel have published research in support of Khazarian theory, for example Shlomo Sand: Invention of jewish people

What if your launch queue will be filling at a much faster rate aka backpressure issue? E.g what if this went viral and you get 1000 new projects per day, any new launch is scheduled after three months then?

Any idea how to prevent someone from creating 10 fake accounts and making it 20 votes per day? I'm sure any entrepreneur will see this opportunity right away if a little cheating means more exposure.

my mistakes I can acknowledge and accept which gives a little bit of closure the hardest part for me has been realizing the people i called family and friends kind of set this up and just dealing with the dissonance of it all and the sudden lonliness.
