Easy: Zero. What you describe as "desperate people" are people who would already die without "yolo[ing] on themselves", so, by definition, the worst outcome is that they still die.

Oh, by the way, any indication that nobody roleplayed the Israeli side?

The description implies that nobody did:

Seaside Prison is a Palestinian-Finnish-Norwegian larp that deals with the siege of Gaza trough an alternative reality setting where the situation on Åland Islands resembles that of real world Gaza. Two ordinary families live as neighbours in Marienhamn. Their family drama and wedding preparations are interrupted by bombings in which some of the family members are killed.

For the same reason Wikipedia suffers: People who are really good at writing factual content / good answers are not automatically good at moderation, often they are even some of the worst people for it. Moderation needs empathy, thinking about edge cases, dealing with emotions and so on. Making the people who have the most points on a Q&A site your moderators was always a recipe for disaster.

For a long time, the sheer usefulness of SO overshadowed all of this. People were willing to suffer for the sake of getting a result. But over time the quality couldn't keep up with the pure agony of having to deal with petty dictators. And finally, people just stopped going there, which means the chance that the best answer will be on SO is getting smaller, which means even less people bother with it and so on.

Solr. The correct answer is Solr. All the search features of Elasticsearch (both are built on Lucene, which provides the actual search implementation) without the problems that Elastic (the company) or Elasticsearch (the product) brings with it. 99% of companies using Elasticsearch would be far better of with Solr.

Well, Microsoft says that's because of the EU commission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41029590

I have my doubts, but that's at least what they give as the reason for the kernel-level access of EDR tools.

Literal example of survivorship bias in the GP comment.

While I agree with your comment I'd like to point out that the reason the youth is leaving is not this policy, but that there are no jobs for them. At least none that you really want to live on. That's a problem "digital nomads" are expected to not have: They have their job somewhere else, so who cares if the local job market is garbage? Though I don't think this will work out in the long term.

Rather typical in Germany (they usually do it via Schufa, but the end result is the same). No idea for other countries.

I'm pretty sure judges can reasonably find the difference between willfulness and accident (as the article states, multiple people who had no reason to help the builder missed the error) and decide accordingly.

Sounds like a reasonable judgement - even if the parties didn't come to a compromise themselves - would have been to just swap lots. Lots 115 should be empty, cause the building that should be there is on 114. So, swap the deeds and be done with it.

(Unless lot 115 is completely different to 114, but doesn't sound that way)

Thanks for spelling this out. I always thought the same, even as a child when I first saw the film: Ariel has a deep feeling of not belonging where she is combined with a yearning for human culture. It's obvious from the movie that her falling in with the prince is just the last step in a long line of "I should be up there, not down here" and not just some spur of the moment decision.

Even some results from "The Onion" seem to be in it. Looks like Google just took every website they've ever crawled as source.

Yeah. Just the last iteration in a long list of hype terms. Big data. Cloud ready. AI. Whatever ...

... I had the 'pleasure' of driving American cars and if there's one thing they don't have it's good suspension. Though maybe they finally stopped using leaf springs for newer models.

I don't see why they should license her voice if she didn't provide the voice work. Actresses sometimes sound similar. If there's a demand that voices that sound "too similar" to well known actresses (or actors, obviously) need their okay or licensing that would seriously harm the less known ones ability to make a living with their own voice. Same with the demand to take it down because it sounds too similar. It's someone else, no reason to do something.

Without knowing what's behind the link that says nothing. It could be comparing their achievements, the architectures or many things. You just (seem to?) interpret it in a certain way.

Someone who thinks that giving health advice to an obese person and fat shaming are the same thing has no business being in a job that requires them to give people advice. Obese people know the difference very well, no matter how often others try to gaslight them into believing that they are the same thing.

far-left responses

Can you give some examples? I wanted to test it, but first they wanted my email (okay), then they wanted my phone number and .. nope. So, I couldn't test Claude myself so far.

From my outsider perspective it's by being by far the most important country on the continent in terms of size, influence, economy and so on. Also, it's (afaik? cannot think of a counter-example) the only country which has America in its name and usually people talk about countries, not continents.

We don't know if there's even any danger. All statements so far of any danger are somewhere between science-fiction stories and anthropomorphizing AI as some kind of god. The equivalent of "if the bridge breaks down, someone can be hurt", namely a real, quantifiable danger is sorely lacking here.

Back to the good old plowshare, yes? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Plowshare

Because we know how to build bridges so that they don't collapse. The laws of physics that govern bridge-building are well known. The equivalent for AI systems? Not really.

How is the security situation in Mexico these days? I only hear vague "the cartels are taking over" news from time to time, but it's not really something I've looked into in depth. Security is probably a big topic for such an endeavor though. If the companies have to fear that they loose their shipments they won't use it.

Yeah, me too. It would be really sad if Meta stopped hardware development and left it to other companies.

Do Instagram and Snapchat pay you to view more content? This is specifically about TikTok Lite, which does this, not about "normal" TikTok.

It reads more like they're smartly stepping away from the hardware game they're not really optimized for and focusing on the software and connectivity features that they are.

Which would be weird cause the hardware (Quest 3/Quest Pro) is top notch, while Metas software for it is garbage. Everything good is provided by 3rd party companies.

You obviously missed this part: > This is the actual administrative effort it took for FHI to have a small grant disbursed into its account within the Philosophy Faculty so that we could start using it - after both the funder and the University had already approved the grant.

They make quite a clear difference between Oxford (i.e. the University) and the faculty.

I don't see why did you label Aliaksandr Valialkin, the author, an "expert". I mean, he's no dummy but what exactly makes him an expert on optimizing Go code?

https://victoriametrics.com/team/ - Let's see. Author of multiple performance-optimized libraries with a masters degree in computer software engineering and a background in highly scalable systems (as needed for adtech). Sounds pretty much like an expert for optimizing code to me.

And I've seen this trick before so it's not some secret, expert-only knowledge.

So, if you know it it's not export knowledge or what's your argument here?

Architectural problems are bugs. Hopefully, most companies have VP of engineering who understand that.

For someone not from the US: From the second point I understand that the SAT is not the only thing used to decide who gets in? So, it's not "we have 100 slots this year, the 100 best get in"? What else is used?
