My impression was that HPS lighting became so widespread not because of the supposed advantages of its light spectrum, but because it was simply the most light-efficient technology available at that time. Here in Germany, only main/multilane streets requiring more lighting were using HPS, residential streets mostly had lamps with white fluorescent lights, so switching those to LEDs wasn't as much of a change. But still, I'm wondering: what about curtains, window blinds etc.? It's not as if people are forced to endure the intrusion of street lighting into their bedrooms?
Not much to add technically but I am very curious who named it Tofino. Tofino is a city by where I live. It is a beautiful location on the Pacific Ocean on Vancouver Island. A favorite destination for our PM Justin Trudeau. Definitely one of the top 100 beautiful places in the world. When I go there I feel stress leave my body and just enjoy the sounds of the waves crashing and the feeling of the sand on my feet melt any worries I may have. Love it there.
Ah the old trick of calling racism if you voice disagreement with a government… At this point people like you have made the word "antisemite" completely devoid of any meaning.

This completely misapprehends the conflict. Hamas wasn't simply a terrorist organization; it was a organized, well-armed military adversary, supported by other large irregular armed forces in the region as well as by Iran, with extensive infrastructure and supply chains, and a command and control structure with decades of experience and training. Netanyahu bears significant responsibility for allowing them to develop those capabilities! He positioned them against the PA to derail the two-state outcome.

Whatever else Hamas is now, whatever improvised explosives they blow up in Tel Aviv or Haifa or Jerusalem, they are as a military force with a complex and carefully designed order of battle done, utterly broken. WSJ reports Al-Qassam isn't even communicating with the Hamas political branch. Of course they're going to recruit terrorists. There's no such thing as stopping that kind of activity.
Why do we use the list function, when all the arguments are literal string objects? That wants to be a quoted literal list like this:

'("…/bin/ntpd"
"-n" "-c" "/…/…-ntpd.conf"
"-u" "ntpd" "-g")

Why isn't the configuration language mainly declarative, with executable Scheme only available other escape hatch to use as an exception rather than the rule?

I don't want to worry about list versus quote in a configuration language, because they shouldn't be evaluation going on, or not by default.
> what we had to watch Israel do and fund with our own money may not have been worth all those achievements

Transactionally, I don't think so.

Strategically, we rendered irrelevant hundreds of billions of dollars of Iranian foreign spending worthless for $20bn [1]. We also communicated that we stand by our allies. I don't think that's worth tens of thousands of civilian deaths, but it is an important factor.

(Morally, I don't think an all-out war was necessary to decapitate Hamas--surgical strikes on the leaders, over time, should have been possible without reducing the enclave to rubble. That said, I don't know.)

> We made a lot of advancements in Iraq and Afghanistan too

And then we left. Massive difference between supporting a force and building one.

> Israel (and us, since we are tied together) might face the same unforced error

Possibly. Iran and Saudi Arabia (and to a lesser degree Qatar) have been the regional mischief makers, and they all seem somewhat spent. (Israel didn't create as much disruptive mischief, ironically.) I'm honestly not convinced the Palestinian people want war any more than the Lebanese or, frankly, Iranians.

Such a cool product, congrats!
It's not about race, but it is about the invention of a country that relies on specific demographics to exist (majority Jewish) which necessitate keeping millions of people stateless yet under the full control of an elite ethnicity who actually have the votes and the control.

And no matter where Jewish people are from, they are that privileged ethnicity. The Arabs in Israel get token rights (but you and I both know if they were a demographic threat in Israel those rights would be revoked). And the Arabs in Palestine get no rights in Israel but are fully controlled and blockaded by Israel. That's the ultimate source of the conflict. It's not thousands of years old, and it is partly about race (if you consider Jewish a race, as the nation of Israel does).
> Do you also abide by the ICC's finding that there is a case for Israel committing genocide

That's a false statement. ICC has found no such thing.

Aditionally ICC is a criminal court and only prosecuted individuals not states. It would not be in their power to make such a finding against the state of Israel. They lack juridsiction for that. They can prosecute individual leaders, they can't prosecute the country itself.

> the arrest warrant for Netanyahu?

In my ideal world, Gallant and Netanyahu would self-surrender and argue their case in court. (Unfortunately i don't hold much hope for that actually happening). I support the ICC and there is some serious allegations of misconduct against them. However to be clear, criminal genocide is not one of them.

I do think there is a bit more room to argue in the case against the israeli officials. "Rape" has a pretty solid definition, but the war crime of starvation has essentially no case law, so there are a lot more ambiguities for a good lawyer to sink their teeth into.
Is that true though, given that Israel informally takes over more and more of the West Bank? The settlers...
> What do you do then? Protest peacefully?

Actually attempting to attack legitimate military targets seems like a bare minimum we should demand of pretty much everyone.
That does not matter to my point, because Hamas ended up taking those terms anyways. They should have taken them in May, because they are in a much worse position today --- something that was hard to imagine 6 months ago, when their position was already dire.
We did celebrate like this when software releases were something that happened every couple of years and with loads of press coverage, hype leading up to the release, and usually in a physical media with packaging and fancy art accompanying it
The grand point still stands: when compared to Europe, Arab world largely coexisted and lived peacefully with jewish community. Until zionist settlers showed up.

Antisemitism is purely european concept, and some might argue that expulsion of jewish people from Europe to Middle East was the original Final Solution by Hitler (before he decided to just kill everyone).

So all that Zionists have achieved is just realized the dreams of Adolf Hitler
I thought just now, isn't inbox zero just a cosmetic difference?

> all of modern technology is a result of the exact same processes that led to the theory of evolution

Could you please elaborate? I'm not sure I understand. Are you referring to the scientific method?

If so, I really feel the need to insist that being Creationist or Christian is not exclusive or incompatible with that. Guess what, I am Christian, I believe in a Creator God and yet I am (surprise, surprise) an accomplished Software Engineer.

I can understand if you think I'm stupid because of my beliefs. That's your opinion and I'm totally fine with it.

What I'm trying to say is that holding these beliefs doesn't make you intellectually impaired, or unable to use reasoning. We're just working with different assumptions.

You have faith in Nothing, from which everything came, I have faith in Something (God) from which everything came. And it is faith indeed, because you don't and can't possibly have definite proven knowledge of the origin of things. You weren't there.

To you, nuclear fusion is evidence of evolution. Fine. To me, alongside the rest of Creation, it is evidence of God.

Therefore, you will reason a certain set of things, and I will reason a different set of things. Because we have different starting points, we will reach different conclusions.
>Please be careful when using the word genocide

I am using the term legally.

Genocide does not require success in exterminating the whole race. The holocaust was not successful, Bosnia wasnt successful, neither was Gaza. Roughly 7-10% of Gaza were killed, mostly women and children, and the intent to kill them because of their race was clear and well evidenced by South Africa.

Please, dont deny genocide -not the holocaust. Not the armenian genocide. Not the bosnian genocide. Not this either. It is disrespectful to every victim.
That does sound generally useful. Out of interest: Do you ever see a one hour meeting being summed up so brief that the participants question why they spend an hour on the meeting (or more realistically, question if the LLM understood the meeting at all).

Even when meetings are summed up, which I think they should be, you frequently see that no real progress was made, someone did all the work before the meeting started and this is now just a one hour sign off, or everything is simply pushed to the next meeting.
You need some time to switch from computer keyboard mindset. Even though it's the same thing, typing on a typewriter is completely different experience and the way you type is different. You have to place your hands differently, and get some muscles in the fingers since you have to hammer that key. Especially for ring finger and small one - they are the weakest. But as you type more you become better at it, works for basically everything else in life.

I went to a brutal and oppressive public school in a 3rd world country yet I was able to interact with the adults around the age of 11-12. I was always one step ahead of my 3 years older sister. I think a lot of this was I was jealous of her getting attention from thrme other adults and especially my parents from an early age. I self learned how to read and write when I was 4, exactly at the same period she was learning at school.

This resulted in quite a bit of psychological problems for me, since I always thought my peers are stupid. You start to isolate yourself, and this trying to impress adults changes form into trying to impress your boss etc.. My parents had no idea of course, so no use to blame them. But fir my own kids this is something I'm trying to keep an eye on. I think it is possible to distinguish what is genuine and what is for getting positive confirmation and attention. The best measure is the capability to entertain yourself. If a kid is able to not get bored when with adults without interaction they have a healthy amount of self confirmation.
I went to school with some first generation Palestinians just 5-ish years ago.

One of them had to miss an entire quarter because Israel just wouldn't allow him to leave. He has never been back to Palestine since then because another detainment or missed visa problem, etc. would derail his career.
Heh, unfortunately it's been this way in almost every company I have been in.

I don't think that I have ever been in a company where I haven't had to deal with it - and it's taken me a while to work it out, I've had physical threats and (just this Christmas gone) been punched in the stomach at a work Christmas event by someone upset that I'm able to point out these other ways of doing things.

People are very scared of losing what little power they think that they have.
A standards-first web framework
This is one of those conflicts where there are no good guys. Both sides have way too many people who want to see the other side burn more than they want peace. For outsiders like me, not picking sides is the best course of action.
> That's enough

It's opt-in. No one forces a project to pick open source. They don't get to decide what's enough.

You clearly want open source to mean something other that what it by default means. A better place to put your efforts would be like folks over at fair.io, perhaps. It's not faring well IMO, but it's an honest take in the "no competing company" direction.
Author here: this is Nue's new, more natural direction. Our previous focus on design engineers and CSS design systems was accurate, but missed the most important point: the web platform itself has evolved to eliminate the need for most framework abstractions. What began as elegant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript has devolved into build systems demanding hundreds of dependencies just to render a page.

This is a long term, ambitious project to strip away these artificial layers and return web development to its core strengths. Instead of fighting web standards, we're taking them to their absolute peak.

Happy to hear your feedback.
What you say about the reality and mechanisms of torture may be true. But your insistence on assigning this behavior to some political side is, frankly, frightening.

It won't change the amount of political violence that's ahead of us, but I would recommend that you, at a personal level, question those associations.

No political side, no country, or race has the monopoly of evil, and if you believe otherwise you have some serious work to do.
That's very similar to an algorithm I played with many years ago.

I also used simulated annealing, where a temperature controls the amount of random movement each node gets on an iteration, and the temperature is gradually reduced. It was a DAG though, not a tree.

Securities and Exchange Commission vs. Elon Musk
I don't know about "peer-reviewed gold-standard studies," but what you've described is basically how the EU does it – what goes in food must be proven safe.

It's the opposite of the US approach, which is to ban (only) proven-harmful ingredients.

I don't expect US food-safety laws to become more strict in the next four years, but who knows, maybe the dead-worm guy will surprise us.

Setting Up an RK3588 SBC QEMU Hypervisor with ZFS on Debian
This is it. Typically in a QFT lecture, you'd include a "mass term" (in the article: stiffness term) in your field equations, and later show that it indeed gives mass to the excitations of this field (i.e. particles). So you temporarily have two definitions of "mass" and later show that they agree.

For this discussion it makes sense call the "mass" of a field "stiffness" instead, since it's not known a priori that it corresponds to particle mass.

Hey I'm Yutish
Hey guys, I'm Yutish, I'm the founder of StarCy. Since I was kid, I always wanted to work on something that will change the world for better, so I dropped out of college at 16 (so young, but I think I got matured way to early, and glad my parent believed in me) to build something meaningful, something that WILL change the world for better. After exploring and failing at things I wasn’t passionate about, I realized I wanted to work on something truly impactful. That’s when I became deeply aware of the effects AI could have on humanity’s future—both its potential and its risks. It was a wake-up call. I even emailed Sam Altman, sharing my concerns and asking how he planned to ensure AI remains aligned with human values. Although I never got a response, it pushed me to take matters into my own hands. That’s why I founded StarCy: to steadfastly ensure that all forms of AI—current systems, Artificial General Intelligence, and even Superintelligence—remain fundamentally aligned with human values. For our v1, we’ve outsourced every tool due to a lack of infrastructure, but we’re raising capital with the clear goal of building our own AI systems in-house. StarCy is built to be the best alternative to Siri, but it’s so much more than that. StarCy is your first emotionally intelligent, human-like conversational AI. It doesn’t just answer your questions—it detects your emotions, adapts to your mood, and builds a genuinely human-like connection. With internet access, StarCy can scrape the world for real-time information, offering smarter and more dynamic interactions than any existing assistant. I know this is a field dominated by big players, and it’s easy to feel like a small fish in a very big pond. But that’s what makes it exciting. I wake up every day motivated to work on StarCy, knowing it’s a long game worth playing. After 4 months of building, we’re gearing up to launch StarCy v1 in Q1 of 2025. It’s just the beginning, but it’s a product I’m truly proud of—and one I’ve always wanted for myself. (more features to come) Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or connect with anyone!
Apple SuperDrive Discontinued – One of the Last Acessories from Steve Jobs Era
Impressive achievement for OS models.

The more time passes, the more it appears that China is likely to eclipse the US in AI development. At the knowledge frontier,Massive parallel sharing of information is going to beat deep vertical organizations almost every time.

OpenAI should have stayed open. Looks like greed may cost the US the “AI arms race”.

Efforts to throttle China with chip shortages are going to fail in the long term as they will build in larger architectures what they can’t in smaller, more efficient nodes. RISC-v and copies of earlier NVIDIA architectures will be built at massive scale on less efficient nodes, and solar/nuclear/coal power infrastructure will be rolled out to compensate for the difference in efficiency.

In the end this will motivate them to create efficiencies algorithmicly where they run into thermal and power limitations, propelling them ahead of countries that have better access too 2-3 nm process nodes

They will burn coal and spin up new nuclear plants overnight to power massive infrastructure for training , because the government is getting behind this in a big way. I think it’s shaping up to be the space race of the 21 st century, and China is much more like 1950s USA in focus and drive than the USA of 2025 is.

They will brute force what they cannot finesse, and they will find ways to leverage disadvantage to make their efforts more scalable with process improvements.

With each new fab generation they can roll out, their backing logistics (power, data centers) will be massive because of their technology lag, and their scaling with each process node implementation will be exponential because the support infrastructure will already be in place.

It’s not the same China it was a decade ago.
Looks looks like this is a direct response to something that was very widely discussed here two days ago, so I guess it's topical by extension.

Businesses I've dealt with in the manufacturing world (so most American workers before the 'service economy' revolution) deal way more with Japanese companies than Italian. Also I think humans just need an ideal to aspire to. We don't respond well to 'it's all crap, always has been, always will be'. Foreign countries we like look better because we see what's better than where we are. There's a reason for the saying 'the grass is always greener (because from a distance you can't see it's full of dog crap)'.
