Zacharias030··on The demographic future of humanity: facts and consequences [pdf]
What do you / your prof think about the timelines though? I always heard people shoot these kinds of arguments down by saying that evolution does not significantly operate on our accelerated timelines of human technology.
Zacharias030··on Lina Khan points to Figma IPO as vindication of M&A scrutiny
I thought IPOs don‘t generally pop though this one has?

You can buy VTI which takes about 7% allocation in every IPO, but I heard there is research by some folks at Harvard and practiced by dimensional fund advisors‘ funds that buying IPOs ~two years later is slightly better?

Expect or not, I think it would have made all the difference. It seemed like a historical, Nelson Mandela scale opportunity with all international, regional and domestic & Palestinian winds in Israels back.

And then they used it to one up everything the world has seen in that region in recent past.

because genocide.

Start with robust sanctions.

It seems unlikely that the IDF will do anything to an international peace force operating in Gaza (not Israel) under a combined lead of France and the UK.

Anyway, it would exactly only take one country - the US - to stop shipping weapons (to credibly threaten to stop) to bring this to an end so fast that you can‘t even finish breakfast.

True, there is some hesitation deploying sanctions and peacekeeping troops to keep the Israeli state away from starving children.

Mass murder through starvation and shooting children at aid stations.

could have done better is the understatement of the century.

And how many rapes and to what level of systematicity do you need it to raise to your attention?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_viol...

> During the ongoing Gaza war, Israeli male and female soldiers, guards, medical staff have reportedly committed wartime sexual violence against Palestinian women, children and men[1][2][3][4] including rape, gang-rape, sexualized torture and genital mutilation.[5][6][7][8][9]

The US actions after 9/11 have been established as a terrible example harming the US itself to the utmost.

Both the US and Israel would have been better off not reacting at all than this.

I think it is not 1945 and comparing the people in Gaza with the Nazis is absurd.

I think we can have that discussion when Israel decides or is being coerced that enough Palestinians have starved to death.

Why was there a permanent military occupation of Gaza before 2005?
Zacharias030··on ‘I witnessed war crimes’ in Gaza – former worker at GHF aid site [video]
settling the west bank breaking international law while claiming otherwise strikes me as disingenuous.
Zacharias030··on ‘I witnessed war crimes’ in Gaza – former worker at GHF aid site [video]
Israelis are making horrible decisions.

That’s a pretty salient fact when you have the might of such a military on your side.

I find it funny how I am at the same time supposed to accept that Palestinian (leaders) are all terrorists and also that Israel justifiably act equally terrible. The whole point of being a respectable state is to not commit crimes (and kill family members „unfairly“).

If he had nothing to fear, then what is stopping him clearing his name in court?

This war was always going to go exactly as long as Israel wanted to prolong it and nothing else stands in the way of this stopping.
Zacharias030··on ‘I witnessed war crimes’ in Gaza – former worker at GHF aid site [video]
All your arguments and justifications sound so hollow in the face of starving palestinians in Gaza being shot while lining up for humanitarian aid. The thing being stuck in the past seem to be your arguments.

But this is happening right now and the majority underage population starving to death right now is on Israel‘s watch.

I hear OpenAI and Anthropic are making tools that are supposedly pretty good at helping with creating a view from a backlog.

Back to the conspiracy ^^

Zacharias030··on The future is not self-hosted
Isn‘t the sweet spot for many things to just „host“ on hetzner or whatever, but not „self-host“ and then trip over the power cable once in a while?
Zacharias030··on Building better AI tools
I think the sweet spot is always keeping north up on the GPS. Yes it takes some getting used to, but you will learn the lay of the land.

two years ago it didn’t do anything that made me want to use it during work.

The data wall idea of needing 10 more internets is like the peak oil theory of the 2000s, imho. I don’t think 10 more internets are required, and all those tasks like proper security and i18n, none of these require creativity of any kind. These are ideal candidates for LLMs to solve quite soon.

But to talk about the data wall more: Current SOTA LLMs are trained on circa 30-50T tokens. First, that is not a full internet‘s worth; it is estimated that Meta owns more like 200T tokens of user data etc. Second, the work in optimizing for data efficiency is just beginning.

How good is it in comparison? This is an interesting apples to apples situation:)

definitely not! The media platform of the German public television networks is even geoblocking anyone outside of Germany.

Can you point to an article about the 1930s? This is interesting.

Isn’t that like „the dog speaks English, but makes occasional grammar mistakes“?

Give it two years.

I just came here to remark how exceptional the prose in this article is.

This is also what I suspect. It is very different how many CS majors in the US enter the job market with just a bachelor’s degree.
