human beings with consciences
That's never stopped us humans before. Germans are nice people, too. And Palestinians, for that matter - and yet Oct. 7 happened. Regardless of what the Torah says, we're not special of different from the rest.
Look, it's easy enough to make make wild assumptions, but at that point you're on the same level with the one-state-solution people. I want my government to treat this like every other international ethnic conflict, because that's what it is. Putting the Bosnians or Serbs individually in charge of the former Yugoslavia wouldn't have been good, and neither will helping the Israelis do whatever they want.
Modern industrial economies are really complicated. I like trains. To make trains, you need parts, labour, equipment and power. They themselves need to be made, which uses parts, labour, equipment and power, and meanwhile you have competing uses of all those things for making, I dunno, printing presses, or for completely different things like farming or art curating. If you drew it all out as a diagram it would get super interconnected super fast.
Meanwhile, even a simple binary choice like which of two lots a rehab center should go on can be very politically complicated. Anarchists like to handwave it away with "we'll figure it out together", and I really don't find that convincing.
Markets offer a system that's proven to work insofar as if you need to buy a train or a hair clip or lunch someone's always selling it. How do you guarantee that, or something similar?
I think the unbelted passenger became the lethal projectile in this case (and somehow survived to be prosecuted).
I don't know if anyone's tried to prosecute this, though. It would seem kinda mean after someone's been in a serious accident.
Also, IANAL, but there can be factors that protect you from charges sometimes. If the driver knew you weren't wearing a seatbelt it probably becomes their fault in my jurisdiction, and if there's debate about who knew what that's reasonable doubt right there.
Or a passenger in the same car. People are heavy, and there's enough force involved here to move the "projectile" all kinds of places.
By now, I have just one, so thanks for the assist. There's always that one (sometimes puzzling) downvote on anything factual.
The pumping lemma, for anyone unfamiliar. It's a consequence of the fact an FSM is finite, so you can construct a repeatable y just by exhausting the FSM's ability to "remember" how much it's seen.
Is this a quote from something? I'm OOTL.
Is that why Israel keeps telling Gazans and Lebanese people to move out of target areas?
I agree that propaganda is bad, but both sides make it. That's why I like hard numbers so much.
It's clear they want to look merciful, especially to their Western patrons. You'll recall that the Nazis had a voluntary emigration program at first, and then blamed anyone still around for not leaving. (Israel isn't the Nazis, but maybe Yugoslavia)
As for your numbered plan, I feel like it makes some unrealistic assumptions. Like that step 1 is possible, and that Israel won't keep building out settlements instead of actually helping Palestine. It's basically Likud's publicly announced plan, which the IDF leadership itself doesn't buy.
In practice, if they try that, insurgent activity will never stop, and the Israeli occupation will never turn into a strong Palestinian state. It's just a matter of time then before Israelis get tired of it and contemplate something more extreme, as a minority already openly are.
Yeah, but in an FSM all you have are states. To do it the obvious way, you need a loop with separate branches for every number greater than 2, or at the very least every prime number, and that's not going to be finite.
Accents are at least somewhat fixed. Haven't you noticed old people sound a certain way? Ditto for grammar - hedging with "like" isn't something I'd ever hear an elder do where I live, and the "because noun" shortening sounds straight up incorrect to them, rather than just cute.
Vocabulary can grow, though. Sometimes it doesn't, but that seems to be mostly down to old people not wanting to learn. Unfortunately new vocabulary is relatively minor in the evolution of most languages - a Russian word and an English word will often descend directly from the same 3000BC proto-Indo-European root, although they might now have drifted to mean different things.
It would be an obsession of mine, if I was cursed with the inability to die under any level of duress.
I'm not saying it's common, but punishment by live burial is a thing, and billions of years is an awful lot of human history.
Not that I'm aware of. AFAIK nobody collects hard long-term data right now, and I'm actually working actively on a system to do it.
Just based on me peaking at current federation stats every once in a while, .world has grown relative to the niche but early-arriving .ml/heaxbear/lemmygrad sphere, which makes me think it's growing overall.
So this is a definite example of "regex" that's not regular, then. I really don't think there's any finite state machine that can track every possible number of string repeats separately.
So this is one of the cases where XOR is contextually meant by "or". Although people have been known to do trick anyway, and it's of course an empty threat most of the time, so more like treat CONST ~trick. Speaking of, where's my identity, implication, inhibition and null Halloweens?
Trick XNOR treat is the definite chaotic option. Your house gets egged if and only if you give them candy.
Boo!
Whatever, this is far from the end of the story, and Lemmy has nothing but time. The bigger they are, the harder they fall in the end.
Well, depends. The Earth is actually right near the edge of where the sun will expand to, so there's a chance the scorched glob that used to be Earth will stay in orbit. Either way, it will still be hot for a while, and you're ultimately stuck in something solid - be it a dead planet or a white dwarf.
There is such a thing as merciful death; it would not be good to be cut off from it.
Glad to hear that's not what you're saying - it really feels like that's where the region is headed.
What's the alternative to a two-state solution? One state is a pipe dream right now, and the status quo leaves Israel unsafe. Even if every single individual Hamas fighter was killed somehow, there's a lot of Palestinians who want revenge for the destruction of their whole world, and another organisation would start.
Unless you have a lot of money to rely on I don't even know if it's reliably possible right now. You're basically in the same situation as an undocumented immigrant.
Yeah, they always gloss over how you'd have a very noticeable accent within a couple hundred years, and would straight up be using a second language within a thousand.
Physicists are one step closer to developing a clock based on energy shifts in atomic nuclei.
A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.
I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.
Edit:
So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.
Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed 229Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."
US president says he is 'very close' to presenting proposal to free remaining hostages as Israelis protest over latest deaths
Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he's preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be "final".
They've hewn very close to the whole "unconditional support" thing, so I'm curious what that means exactly.
The Wikipedia article on Steiner constructions mentions it, but doesn't explain it, and the source linked is a book I don't have. This has come up in a practical project.
In air. This seems like it should be incredibly basic information but I can't find it anywhere.
Just watched this and thought it was dope. I especially liked the Roman buffets and Foreman grills.
I started looking through corrupt Winamp skins and it lead me down some very strange rabbit holes
People new to federation are wandering elsewhere. If the logged-in screen is anything like what I see as a guest, I'm not surprised. I found this through my own instance's search feature.
I've been playing with an idea that would involve running a machine over a delay-tolerant mesh network. The thing is, each packet is precious and needs to be pretty much self contained in that situation, while modern systems assume SSH-like continuous interaction with the user.
Has anyone heard of anything pre-existing that would work here? I figured if anyone would know about situations where each character is expensive, it would be you folks.
We have no idea how many there are, and we already know about one, right? It seems like the simplest possibility.
Kelly and Zach Weinersmith talk to Nature about the hurdles facing humans living in outer space.
This is about exactly how I remember it, although the lanthanides and actinides got shortchanged.
Researchers have shown that a problem about the energy of a quantum system is easy for quantum computers but hard for classical ones.
Unfortunately not the best headline. No, quantum supremacy has not been proven, exactly. What this is is another kind of candidate problem, but one that's universal, in the sense that a classical algorithm for it could be used to solve all other BQP problems (so BQP=P). That would include Shor's algorithm, and would make Q-day figuratively yesterday, so let's hope this is an actual example.
Weirdly enough, they kind of skip that detail in the body of the article. Maybe they're planning to do one of their deep dives on it. Still, this is big news.
Sweden became NATO’s newest member on Thursday (7 March 2024), upon depositing its instrument of accession to the North Atlantic Treaty with the Government of the United States in Washington DC. With Sweden’s accession, NATO now counts 32 countries among its members.
Example: On here vs. on Lemmit itself.
I don't know if this is our end or theirs, but nobody seems to have commented about it on their meta community, which makes me think it's not broken for users on bigger instances.
Prolog-based Japanese education hardware sported an early touch-panel, speech synthesizer.
In this video I tried out KolibriOS, an operating system that is so small it can fit on a single 1.44mb floppy disk!

Reposting because it looks like federation failed.
> I was just reading about it, it sounds like a pretty cool OS and package manager. Has anyone actually used it?
Recent developments in systems chemistry have shown how the molecular building blocks of life could have arisen from plausible prebiotic feedstocks. This Perspective argues that we remain a long way from a full picture and speculates on what pieces of the puzzle are still missing.
Great info if you're interested in the state of the art on how abiogenesis might work.
I also didn't realise LUCA was so sophisticated already until I read this. The story it tells is that very basic life was already widespread in the Hadean era, and when the late heavy bombardment hit and the Earth was resurfaced, only life around a hydrothermal vent (or vents) survived, with one long-term survivor going on to become the sole ancestor of modern life.
