I remember being awed by the size of the new data center at the Ashburn UUNET campus when we first occupied the campus. It was one of our new “NFL” sites. They were called that because the locations where we built the new large data centers matched up pretty well with cities with NFL teams. It now looks like a small garden shed in comparison to the newer data centers around it.
Doesn’t that make perfect sense? First test in animals. If carcinogenic in animals then don’t move to humans. A lack of studies in human is hardly a basis for ruling it safe.

This page says, "Error 403 Forbidden. Forbidden. Error 54113." What are you referring to?
Would you be upset if you ate something every day and didn't understand the risks fully and then developed a disease because of it? What if no one understood the risks aside from the entity that sold it to you? Would you be upset if someone you cared about deeply, say a child, made a mistake of never understanding there was a risk to consuming something, say, baby food, and then developed a life ending disease because of it? Would you feel responsible if you facilitated giving that person you cared about the food you chose to buy and there by aided in ending their life prematurely?

Any of these scenarios should make it obvious there has to be some sort of regulation around these things, as no one individual is an encyclopedia of toxic substances, and we exist in a bazaar of choices.

There could be a compromise, much like there is with alcohol and tobacco, that if you absolutely wanted to buy something toxic, you could do so. However, that wouldn't really necessitate that you couldn't use it to harm someone else.

A cost advantage?

Over Falcon Heavy? very likely. Over Starship? Probably not.

Capability advantage?

Over Falcon Heavy and Starship? As far as I know, Starship will not have an expendable fairing, nor is a larger payload door a priority and the internal reinforcement cuts into the payload shape, so if you want to launch voluminous payloads, the 7 meter diameter fairing of New Glenn fills that niche.

> An obvious issue is the lack of real machine number types

This was basically what the special asm.js support in JS engines was about (via "use asm") and brought performance to about WASM level. IIRC this special asm.js support brought a 2x to 3x performance advantage (e.g. running asm.js in Chrome/Firefox which both had special asm.js support vs Safari which didn't).

AFAIK the initial WASM implementation in browsers was more or less an evolution of that asm.js special-path.

Fair enough. It was a poor choice of words. I wasn't trying to justify the taking of hostages. I was trying to raise a discussion that we should be demanding more evidence about what actually happened on October 7th and that such evidence most certainly exists (assuming it hasn't been intentionally destroyed).

In another comment I just made I raise a question about the makeup of the 251 hostages. I'm genuinely interested in knowing how many of them were civilian hostages and how many are IDF soldiers and therefore prisoners of war.

This same question applies to the hostages that Israel has taken as well. They are portrayed as prisoners/detainees, but other than the legitimate combatants, all others are effectively hostages as well.

Short selling is extremely stressful and mindspace-heavy, especially if you're going with a global approach like these guys. It makes sense to exit once you've made your cheese.

Some of the team members clearly want to continue, and have his blessing in it. Still others want to get hired elsewhere too. All of these are normal. The Hindenburg name will carry them far.

Him open-sourcing them (for free) is so that others may continue the fight against unscrupulous market players. That's just his Principles.

What he's doing is the smart thing. The employees are likely worth a few millions and debt-free, while he has made enough to fund a small family office. The smart thing would be to leave the game, especially when as an outsider like him, you don't have the connects to fundraise (which is what most fundmanagers tend to spend most of their time on these days). IIRC even DeepFuckingValue did the same.

And you will always take the liberty of interpreting any 3rd-party data in a particularly conservative way until you correct your prior data deficit with first hand experience. That's the key issue.

So you need to try if you are serious about getting the truth. Think of it like doing the required pre-requisite work to understand a new topic. This is the same.

Why would you enter a competition you believe was a rigged attempt to disprove what you know through first hand experience to be real?

No, because intent matters, and Hamas do not have genocidal intent - all they want is freedom from Israeli occupation and dehumanisation, and their stolen land back.

Civilians getting killed is not a war crime. It is an unfortunate consequence of war, especially when cowardly leadership uses them as human shields. It’s a good reason to not start wars.

If Palestinian civilians do not like being used as human shields, they should remove Hamas and install leadership willing to live in peace with Israel.

I really do not care but that is because the economy has incentivised me to get into work I don't care about. It is completely unprofitable to do things I do care about. So I don't do them.

Short selling has unbounded downside. If you borrow $1,000 to short sell TSLA and then it soars you might end up losing $100,000.

No, it was always around 0.1%. The earlier figures were known from the start to be wrong by people in public health because early attempts to estimate IFR are always wrong (always high). They don't get reports about mild cases until they start looking for them.

Even people like Neil Ferguson gave up claiming it was 1% early. No idea where you're getting 3%-15% from.

The IFR fell "post vaccine" because of a mix of how vaccination status was defined and because Delta soon mutated into Omicron, which was just a normal cold virus and not deadly at all.
I'm not convinced that changes my point. Whether you look at it as an excuse to become that person or not, the excuse would not exist in an alternate version where healthcare was not ruinously expensive.
> All the different configuration you need for Webpack is built-in to Vite. This includes built-in support for a lot of stuff that would come as separate plugins in Webpack (CSS loading, Typescript support, asset bundling, minification, autoprefix/browserslist-based downleveling, env replacement, etc). But more importantly, it includes fairly optimal configuration.

We're just walking around in circles. Webpack originally came to be because the current (at the time) solutions were too opionated, and what was "fairly optimal configuration" changed so quickly that it seemed favorable to split out the parts that could change, so we could still use webpack but the specific areas within could move forward without waiting for the rest.

Of course this time, we really have found the optimal-optimal configuration that will surely never be updated, because this time we really did it properly.

A system that sides with the majority is not very good at protecting the voices of a minority.

Given the sheer global size of one group vs the other tiny ethnical minority it’s no surprise who wins in a count of opinion votes. That applies in the UN, and it applies here. And is ironically the reason the ethnic minority must have self determination.
Genealogical research shows the strongest link between the ancient Canaanites and the current middle east population is with the Palestinians and Lebanese. There are some genetic links between Palestinians and the ancient Israelites with this theory that many converted to Islam after the invasion.

However, you are correct in that many historians describe the population was added to, and never replaced. Supporting the DNA links.

From this I would conclude that the Palestinians are indigenous through the pre-colonial link. Most Jews in Israel are not indigenous but they share cultural links and lets not forget the wars they won in 1948 and 1967.

What is bizarre, is the ban on genetic testing for Palestinians and this pseudo-history in Israel that Palestinians never existed. Something distorted is being taught in Israel at many levels.

> but an algorithm cannot make aesthetic decisions

A constraint or score based process can be given rules for what bad aesthetic decisions are, like nodes too packed in one area, lines between nodes too long, edges shouldn't cross or if that is unavoidable should cross as little as possible, etc, so it can try to avoid them. The process of picking a more optimal solution by judging against these rules might be to apply some randomness and rerun many times, picking the best scoring result, or it might be by moving things around randomly from one start position to see if that improves the score, or both these methods can be applied. Without random factors in the main placement algorithm, reordering how nodes that have no particular precedence (say you have a node with three children that have no property indicating any of them should be ordered/positioned in any particular way with respect to the others visually), reordering how these nodes are passed to some layout functions can have a significant effect, again to be judged against the rules/constraints/scores specified.

This won't be perfect for all inputs, or even many inputs, but it can often produce a good enough result to be made perfect with a bit of human post-processing.

I've definitely seen a demo of this sort of process bing used interactively to layout mind-map drawings, though irritatingly I can't find it ATM to link to. In that the base algorithm ran a few processes, picked one of the results, and from there the human could pull things around, and it had a few controls for how other nodes could be moved in response to any change you made, or if it just warned that parts or the whole might benefit from reflow, or if it blocked the user from making certain changes, or if it stepped back completely at this point and let the user have full control with no further assistance. Of course this might be overkill most of the time: letting the algorithm do the first cut then giving the human full control of post-process tweaks is usually going to be sufficient.

> you do it by hand when you care and with a computer when you are meeting a specification

And for a compromise third option: let the computer do the initial leg work, leave it alone if that result is good enough, and change by hand to refine otherwise.
Interesting story and very good points :) I certainly have concerns, that much of the curriculum in school here in UK is basically pointless box-ticking (metrics as you refer to it), and a certain part of the day is just a waste of time and/or at a pace that doesn't suit brighter kids. OTOH there's some great stuff at school that'd otherwise be hard to replicate. I know people that do homeschool or private school with good reason, due to the limitations of state school. Sounds like you've done a lot to ensure your kids have friends and go to things where they meet other kids. So in your case, probably the lack of social side is less of an issue... however, isn't that quite an investment of your time? (and to some extent cost). you list a lot of things your kids go to, that must mean quite a lot of "ferrying" / "taxi-ing" around? Or are they very independent and using public transport? To me , it sound like you've done homeschooling right, but I kind of wonder whether a lot of people would be unable or not enlightened enough to do all the social side you've done.
> Maybe it is different here in the UK.

Yes, I was originally homeschooled in the UK, and while a lot of the parents where pretty far out there, there was definitely a lower prevalence of weird religious cults and that sort of thing (than in the US).

> that is not what unschooling is

That's why I put "unschooling" in quotes. There are certainly folks doing ethical things under that banner, but the legitimacy of the term provides cover for a lot of folks who aren't doing the ethical thing.
Yep, and even then, the IDF likely killed many of those killed on Oct 7th. We'll never know exactly how many, since Israel wouldn't allow an investigation.

1 knot is about 100 ft/min which is very convenient for descent at a specific glide slope (i.e. for 100 knots ground speed at 5% slope you want 500 ft/min descent rate). Standard is 3° which is about 5%.

Knots are also handy for navigation as 1 nautical mile equals 1 minute of latitude. And of course a knot is 1 nautical mile per hour. So if you're doing 300 knots, that's 5 degrees of latitude per hour.

The units fit together nicely as a system.

> under Webpack, the development build loaded in about two minutes (sometimes more), vite takes 3-5 seconds.

Now it was some time ago since I last used webpack, but if it takes 2 minutes for your build to load (or run?), something is severely wrong and it's not because of webpack.

Migrating your build tool because you're hitting some edge-case or bug you don't understand doesn't bode well for your future use of other tools.
