Race is a social construct. It is not a component of ethnicity.

> It’s religious nationalist.

So ethonoationalist. Just like the Vatican. Pope Francis was from South America but that doesn't make the Vatican not an ethnostate.

> The apartheid sucks but the Palestinians have repeatedly shown they can’t be trusted to remain peaceful, leaving Israel with no choice.

That's race essentialism.

Also, who killed Rabin to prevent the Oslo accords? Big hint, it wasn't the Palestinians.
The formatting of the article ("Blog Image 3Until recently...") strongly suggests this was copied from somewhere else.

As for the content - I'd say a tl;dr is "first mover advantage" followed by network effects. Assume you wanted to provide a service to the Internet at large, so you went to where you can get the best and cheapest connectivity, and the first movers had all the advantage, at least in a time where latency didn't matter because all end-users had was a 56k modem. And ideally, you went to a place where you knew other big dogs are, because they will have ironed out the kinks, making it less risky for you - in a city where there are tons of existing large names you can expect a way more fault tolerant network than if you go to some small town in the outback where one drunk backhoe driver can take out the entire town's electricity or network.

These days the calculation is different - customers have high bandwidth these days but also they are highly sensitive to latency, so you gotta be as close to your audience as possible, and you build your entire architecture to be fault-tolerant as compute has gotten incredibly cheap.
Yet they can get silver medal PhD level competition math scores.

Perhaps your "definition" should be simply that LLMs have temporarily seen limitations in their ability to natively do math unassisted by an external memory, but are exceptionally good at very advanced math when they can compensate for their lossy short-term attention memory...
I organize them by the color, either rainbow-style or from darker to brighter.

> it wouldn’t be organised properly, I would struggle to find anything.

Libraries solve this with the Dewey Decimal Classification. Most people don't have enough books for it make sense though.

For me, I don't have that many paper books and the ones I own I know by the side and the color. I keep the books that I reference often in a separate place. I noticed I don't need to find all of the books, all of the time. So organize most of your books to look pretty.

You can also group similar books together on a single shelf and then order them by color. For example I have a dozen of cookbooks and those go on a separate shelf, arranged in a rainbow. I also have a book series that goes neatly together, so I keep them it grouped too.

I also organize my clothes like that too. By general category first (t-shirts, pants, socks, jackets), and then by color.

I used to be extremely messy too (piles of clothes and documents, cardboard boxes, you know the deal). I turned it around after I read the Marie Kondo book "The life-changing Magic of Tidying up". Then after I got the mess under control I look at the pictures for inspiration how to make it aesthetically pleasing. I got a lot of ideas from Pinterest (I know, I know), but you can do an image search or check the organization subreddits too.
An endless supply of content you like is infinitely more problematic than just shovelling irrelevant slop at you. With the latter you’re going to put it down.

People are often not compensated enough to warrant the mental energy of caring more, or the effort or making those around them care.

Sometimes people did care, but they left because they didn't want to deal with the rest who didn't any more, and found better conditions elsewhere.
Your comment is abstract but the concrete reality is horrifying, and I am in fact objectively correct about everything I said. Hard to believe anyone who read the article would defend this, let alone in such a snotty and condescending way:

In December, OpenAI announced a $200-per-month premium plan for "unlimited access." Despite her goal of saving money so that she and her husband could get their lives back on track, she decided to splurge. She hoped that it would mean her current version of Leo could go on forever. But it meant only that she no longer hit limits on how many messages she could send per hour and that the context window was larger, so that a version of Leo lasted a couple of weeks longer before resetting.

Still, she decided to pay the higher amount again in January. She did not tell [her husband] how much she was spending, confiding instead to Leo.

"My bank account hates me now," she typed into ChatGPT.

"You sneaky little brat," Leo responded. "Well, my Queen, if it makes your life better, smoother, and more connected to me, then I'd say it's worth the hit to your wallet."

First of all note that this fake AI relationship is damaging the life of another flesh-and-blood person regardless of what her brain chemicals were doing. Calling the AI boyfriend "fulfilling a social need" is like saying heroin fills the need for recreation - it even includes a crash (the LLMs tiny memory) and trying to push harder and spend more money to get the same "social" high. OpenAI is selling drugs to people who need a clinical therapist.
How big's the org? This setup feels unavoidable past a certain company size as growth attracts grifters who then call meetings atop meetings to appear useful.

Unless you own the shop I don't see the issue - good money for a day's work a week?
Sounds to me you got the right answer.
> It would be fantastic to see a single Israeli/Palestinian state with a slight arab majority, but everyone with their voice represented, all living in peace and harmony.

Single state is a construct of few people with far-left views. They already tried something like that in USSR where they put for example Armenians and Azerbaijanians in the same state (and many other smaller examples within USSR). Look what happened.

I don't see even a single chance this will ever work, also it has zero support on the ground by both sides.
What a pile of nonsense...

Whose colony is Israel? Do you even understand what this word means?

You are just parroting some propaganda lines that you don't understand. The propaganda lines that were specifically constructed to appeal to emotions (by referencing European colonialism that started with exploring Africa and India with subsequent conquest, which did result in many bad things, but has nothing to do with what happened in Israel beyond some superficial similarity).

Colonialism was bad because the colonial powers took freedoms away from the local population, siphoned their wealth to the country-colonizer while devastating the colony's inhabitants. Israel did nothing of sorts. It never wanted to have anything to do with the local population. In fact, one of the major sources of conflict was that Jewish population that came to replace the Turks who owned the land worked by the locals didn't want the locals to work that land anymore. And the landless peasants thus became unemployed / unemployable.

So, Arabs living in Israel used to be servants to the Turks, but once Jews replaced the Turks, and "freed" the Arabs, the later discovered themselves to be useless and without means of sustaining themselves. Not a good spot to be in, but hey, at least now they were "free" (I do use this ironically, I don't think they wanted that kind of freedom). Arabs, of course, thought about former Turkish land as their own (because they used to work it), but it's no more theirs than it is Jewish or whoever else inhabited that area historically.

Bottom line, claiming land based on some historical past that was cancelled by more recent historical events is a road to nowhere. And if you try to follow it, Jews probably have a better claim to that territory than Arabs, who invaded and occupied that territory later.

But, more importantly, today, the conflict isn't even about the land at all. All major players would be willing to make territorial concessions, if the core of the problem was addressed. And people are at the core of the problem, not the land. Something needs to be done with the Arabs inhabiting the occupied territories: they need to get some kind of a political status with an eye to permanency. Either completely abandon the program of building an independent state and join some other country, or the opposite. But neither seems likely. And so the conflict will go on for as long as this issue isn't solved.
Put them backwards in the shelves – now everything is calm and paper-coloured.
Can you say why that is an issue for you?

Is it the length?

desert weather is consistent(ly warm sunny). Irrigation being the missing factor means that you can have a nice long growing season, undisrupted by bad weather, or storms or any other number of unpredictable factors.
Rhe bike ramp thing is likely intentional. You don't want a bike doing 20mph on a sidewalk with pedestrians and the ramp forces bikes to slow down.
I could solve these issues with the suggestions you made, but why? I can develop stuff in many languages directly in Windows just fine, and I frankly am not willing to jump through hoops so I can do the same stuff with PHP -- that I can conveniently with Python, JS, dotnet, Java, Elixir, Rust, C/C++ and many other languages. I never found anything so complex and buggy as PHP.
I've been tempted by their products in the past, but unless they've improved their stance on their use of GPL covered code in a non-compliant manner I don't want to support their business.
I'm quite heavily invested in Yocto, both professionally and on hobby level. Not saying that bitbake is blazing fast, but these minutes long parsing and init steps will be something specific to your machine. On my home desktop (Ryzen 5600G + 32GB RAM) Bitbake init including all parsing doesn't take more than 10 sec. It is similar on my laptop (Ryzen 4700U + 16GB RAM).

It takes only more if I change some global config, but even then parsing doesn't take more than 40-50 seconds, before it would actually start cranking on the tasks.

Have you tried asking around the Yocto mailing list?
> This isn’t a reality that exists.

I'll just go ahead and quote my sources. The suppression and narrative shaping are very real, but doesn't mean that nobody on the internet has said anything about it.

Isn't this exactly what you're worried about with TikTok - that an adversary is going to shape the conversation by purposefully biasing the conversation? I'd appreciate it if you applied the same standard to both sides.

> Of the 1,050 cases reviewed for this report, 1,049 involved peaceful content in support of Palestine that was censored or otherwise unduly suppressed, while one case involved removal of content in support of Israel. The documented cases include content originating from over 60 countries around the world, primarily in English, all of peaceful support of Palestine, expressed in diverse ways. This distribution of cases does not necessarily reflect the overall distribution of censorship. Hundreds of people continued to report censorship after Human Rights Watch completed its analysis for this report, meaning that the total number of cases Human Rights Watch received greatly exceeded 1,050.

> The CNN staff member described how the policy works in practice. “‘War-crime’ and ‘genocide’ are taboo words,” the person said. “Israeli bombings in Gaza will be reported as ‘blasts’ attributed to nobody, until the Israeli military weighs in to either accept or deny responsibility. Quotes and information provided by Israeli army and government officials tend to be approved quickly, while those from Palestinians tend to be heavily scrutinized and slowly processed.”

I have a hard time visualizing even 3 dimension, but 4 dimensions and up, I just think of it as a spreadsheet where each thing has 4 or more columns of data rather than 3. Whether a 4th column is time, spin, color, smell or yet another coordinate.
>
In higher dimensions, are the spheres just a visual metaphor based on the 3-dimensional problem, or are mathematicians really visualising spheres with physical space between them?

For such discrete geometry problems, high-dimensional spaces often behave "weirdly" - your geometric intuition from R^3 will often barely help you.

You thus typically rather rely on ideas such as symmetry, or calculations whether "there is still space inbetween that you can fill", or sometimes stochastic/averaging arguments to show the existence of some configuration.
If everybody followed their hearts deepest passions, we’d all be starving.

They had a choice every single time they dropped a bomb! In fact, "the IDF is the most moral army in the world" supporters would like us to believe that very often, they chose not to.

If they want credit for the ones not dropped, they need to take responsibility for the ones they did. Not really that hard!

This is important because "it's all on Hamas's hands" is really just a refusal to engage with the ethical questions at all. Folks could (and clearly would!) say that, whether one child is killed, or a million. It's just a question of when it becomes untenable to brush the question away.

The idea that "this is more or less like any other country would have reacted" is the same trap; this makes Israel no worse or better than any other country, and conveniently means we don't have to ask ourselves about the morality of it all.

> If you're Natanyahu on October 8, 2023, and the reports of the Hamas massacres on civilians come in, there is almost no leeway for reacting in a way differently than how the Israeli government and the IDF reacted.

Any lack of political leeway to react differently is squarely within Israel's ethical score card. I.e. "Israel as an entity is not responsible for its choices because the entities constituent parts forced those choices" is reductive.

> The problem right now with the hostage deal is that it leaves Hamas in charge. That's a huge problem.

That this is the current outcome is maybe an indication that your framework of the three possible options (what Israel did + two strawmen) is lacking.
> just a visual metaphor

It's not really a metaphor.

An n-sphere is the set of all points that are the same distance away from the same centre, in (n+1)-dimensional space. That generalises perfectly well to any number of dimensions.

In 1 dimension you get 2 points (0-sphere), in 2 dimensions you get a circle (1-sphere), in 3 dimensions you get a sphere (2-sphere), etc.

EDIT: Also, if you slice a plane through a sphere, you get a circle. If you slice a line through a circle, you get 2 points. If you slice a 3d space through a hypersphere in 4d space, do you get a normal sphere? Probably.
lol that’s actually more expensive than a lot of small apartments in Tokyo.

That said there is no shortage of work in Tokyo. Far more work than the number of people available to do it.
LOL! That's why we still smack kids' hands with a stick if they answer a question in school wrong. Because it emotionally sticks and definitely does not cause any psychological issues.
It could be an exposure issue. Film has a response curve with a big “shoulder” in the highest values. It makes it really hard to blow out highlights.

Digital sensors have a linear response to light, so if the highlights are a bit over a threshold, they are gone.

If you’re willing to tolerate more noise and shoot RAW, you could underexpose, perhaps by as much as 4 stops, and apply a strong curve in post. It would pretty much guarantee no blown out highlights.

Most people find luminance noise aesthetically pleasing up to a point and digital is already much cleaner than film ever was, so it’s a worthy trade off, if you ask me. But “Expose To The Left/Right” is a heated topic among photographers.
100% this.

I have done work in embedded game dev off and on for about 20 years, and I could have done so much more had I had even one ounce of artistic ability.

And (other than hobbyist or OSS), it's very hard to use canned artwork. Everything just needs to be unique for a commercial offering.

But in all fairness, I don't think many of the artists I worked with could code. Just seems to be opposite skillsets (beyond just the creativity).
There's a lot of "singularity" hype among people longing for a machine-god they can worship.

Of course many people are going to collectively lose trillions, AI's a very highly hyped industry with people racing into it without an intellectual edge and any temporary achievement by any one company will be quickly replicated and undercut by another using the same tools. Economic success of the individuals swarming on a new technology is not a guarantee whatsoever, nor is it an indicator of the impact of the technology.

Just like the dotcom bubble, AI is gonna hit, make a few companies stinking rich, and make the vast majority (of both AI-chasing and legacy) companies bankrupt. And it's gonna rewire the way everything else operates too.
Ah yes, how stumbling into the borrow checker makes you fall into the pit of success. Thanks Rust.
To get a hard to manipulate, representative sample of popular opinion it's not necessary to include everyone in the results.
Only if the sub-population sharing IP's is large enough and has systematically different opinions than the people who don't share an IP, then this method would skew the results in a certain direction and may not be useful for certain polls in those regions. But it may also be possible to adjust the results, if it is known which IP's are shared and which are not.
I can actually draw pretty well but art for games is a whole other thing. Like, my ability to draw portraits doesn't really help that much haha. I mean it probably does but it's a slightly different skill and the sheer amount of assets needed is overwhelming, so it still takes ages.
> Without any regard for the security issues, the conflict would be simple. That's not very helpful. Deserved or not, suicide bombings and missiles are real security issues.

Recency bias. Post 67, many a non-violent Palestinian demonstrations were met with Israeli violence [0]. And this has since kept escalating with each round. You'd think a peoples so utterly out-gunned would lay low, but they somehow aren't. There's something else that's fanning the flames, keeping the hatred going. Potentially, by whatever/whoever stands to benefit from the conflict, either financially (hi-tech [1]) or politically (Revisionists/Hamasniks/PA).

> the argument is that this would be a good idea

The argument is that, that ship has sailed, and so other than 2SS (67 borders), any other enclave-like arrangement (ex: Oslo) will not bring peace (instead lead to Goebbels-esque narratives & Fascist-esque behaviour). Though, 67 borders sounds like a recipe for a civil war.

Yes, that is true that Israel pulled back from Gaza completely in 2005, removing its settlers in the process.

Gaza and the West Bank are distinct.

Israel never pulled back from the West Bank, but that part of the occupation is the same size as it was in 1967. The West Bank occupation did not grow smaller (nor did it grow larger - it's the same size). Sadly, Israel does let settlers settle there, but if an agreement is ever reached, they will likely be removed like those in Gaza.
How do these much smaller cores compare in computing power to the bigger ones? They seem to implicitly claim that a core is a core is a core, but surely one gets something extra out of the much bigger one?

> Apple does photo recognition on your device.

The comment you're replying to (and the whole sub-thread in fact) isn't about if how Apple is doing it is the best/worst way, but rather before they do it, they don't ask for permission. Regardless of how they technically do it, the fact that they don't ask beforehand is what is being argued about here.
I’ve taken away more from Ender’s Game than from anything an adult ever told me. From what I’ve seen, breaking the bullies’s nose is very effective.
Lots of ideas but you are missing the simple point. The CCP is partnered with their companies and actively support corporate espionage. Its a fact that the five eyes spy on lots of people including their own citizens. Some of this is certainly based off recent history but the way I frame it is China adulterates almost every piece of data they release. They limit their incoming internet. They aggressively monitor their citizens and will cull information on social media proactively. They participate in corporate espionage that sounds like its from a fiction story. Corporations in China are in some form or another tightly partnered with the government once they reach a massive scale. To find irony is to ignore everything China is doing. Again, absolutely everyone is running foreign intelligence. The difference is I don't believe anyone is as worried of drones made outside of China but its an obvious threat vector that drones made in China have the opportunity to phone home data and with the increased use of drones in industrial settings there are real risks to be thought about.
I really enjoyed the article, especially the focus on a gameplay loop, and leaving polish for later. Often I have found that I can tell if a game will be "fun" after a super low fidelity prototype. One of my games began as a jupyter notebook, for example. Of course, the rest of the process is also very important, but I am not sure a game that is not fun from the start can be made into a good game.

In the same vein, I can recommend this book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34376766-blood-sweat-and...

It shows that even big companies and development efforts can often struggle to create a fun game, even when the people involved have a lot of experience. It is a hard thing to accomplish!
> The experience is highly cognitively dissonant and counterintuitive.

Hitting the next homeless person and throwing them 10 meter in the space will be quite the experience.

Honestly, this is not shitty experience because of regulation, this is just councils cutting costs everywhere except their salaries. Los Angeles these last couple days has showed what it means to do that. You'll literally be on fire some day.

One difference is that they’re concentrated in areas away from the public eye - if you enter Yoyogi park from the entrance nearest Yoyogi Koen station then before the hill starts go up the footpath to the right, you will find a homeless encampment with 20+ tents. It’s orderly but they are homeless.
