Society is better if we sacrifice one horse and buggy driver job for two engineering jobs. The drivers suffer from that, but the net win for society is so plainly obvious that it's a better investment to retrain the driver or just pay

Except those people are dead. Those who ethnically cleansed Arabs (and Jews) during the nakba are dead. Almost everyone who was ethnicity cleansed is now dead. At a certain point you need to recognize that a new generation has been born int

What political/ideological goal does attacking the aid workers move forward? It's a war crime, no doubt, but terrorism has a meaning that doesn't include all war crimes. > Killing unarmed civilians, kids, etc is also terro

“Roof knocking” is when the IAF targets a building with a loud but non-lethal bomb that warns civilians that they are in the vicinity of a weapons cache or other target. https://www.idf.il/en/mini-sites/hamas/

> the Israeli Army dropped a small bomb on a house Roof knocking is using non explosive ordinance. It is, by definition, not a bomb. Attacking its use is wild, its a tactic that saves civilian lives, even if you disagree with the validi

Terrorism has a simple definition: using force against civilian life to further ones goals. Target a music festival with no military value: terrorism. Blow up a building because hamas has a tunnel under there: not terrorism. If the military

The spirit of the law is reducing the civilian cost of war. Its hard to argue that Israel's few incidents of wearing civilian clothes for special operations increased the odds of civilian costs compared to the same operation done in un

That is an elementary understanding international law. If after Oct 7th Israel went and killed a single child in retaliation, that would be unjust. Justification and proportionality are not measured like that. Justification is established b

The "Ai Ecosystem" has its flaws but this article seems to just provide a description of how it is now, and how they want it to be, without a path towards there.

Im never going back to non-foldable. The ability to have a full sized phone take up half as much space in my pocket is amazing. Consistently more comfortable moving around.

Why not? Training isn't just "data in/data out". The process for training is continuously tweaked and adjusted. With many of those adjustments being specific to the type of model you are trying to output.

What do you mean? I take a self driving car around every week. I got a mRNA vaccine that enabled us to get out of a pandemic much quicker. You can get fast internet in the middle of nowhere via starlink.

Using 90/10 split: that 10% of the time before being reduced to only take 10% of that makes 9% time savings. 160 hours a month * $100/hr programmer * 9% = $1400 savings, easily enough to justify $200/month. Even if 1/10t

There is a wide gap between TSMC's cutting edge processes and what a university lab would produce. The features on the microchip go from a couple nanometers (TMSC cutting edge) to tens of micrometers (1000-10000x larger). Large size me
