Ah ninja smoke bomb out w/o proposing any alternative. Handy.
Not to mention hilariously conflating public comment on data centers (massively unpopular) with local weirdo NIMBYism on things like "coffee shops" and "fire hydrants". We all know every city has people that just love to speak at the city council meetings. Can't take it in good faith that you seriously think it's the same thing that's going on with opposition to data centers.
How do you know that the people speaking about with NIMBY views are "weirdos" and "people that just love to speak at the city council meetings", but the people speaking about data centers are different?
An ordered list of officers of the company who go to jail depending on how many years must be served as determined by sentencing. Assume something like 10 years per person. If it's 300 years of sentencing, then 30 people. If the sentence exceeds the list of people, the company is nationalized. (And everybody goes to jail.)
Sure, public jobs program, or sell it. In case you can't tell my comment is hyperbolic, but I feel like we should start at a point of hyperbole and move backwards to reality instead of what's happening right now: fuck all, on a geological time scale.
How could you possibly think that modern, powerful AI, which has only really existed in the last 12 months, is being addressed on a "geological timescale"?
The school was next to a military compound and was originally part of the compound.
All parties are expected to protect civilians. Iran were obligated to move non-combatants, especially children, out of immediate danger zones around military targets. They didn't do that. Instead the school was packed with kids while US military is parked outside, tensions higher than ever. Iranian authorities failed their own people. Again.
The US has been doing unanounced bombing in Iran for decades now. However, this was the first one I'm aware of that had such a wide breadth of targets. Afaik, past targets were generally nuclear sites, air defense installations, high level personell. I believe this was only the second time the US has bombed them during active negotiations.
Having a school near or in a military base is not unreasonable. Those that serve on the base often live in or near the base and may have children who should be able to go to school near where they live.
Using a surplus former military building for a school is reasonable too; building new buildings has a cost, and reusing an excess building is good stewardship.
The attacks on Iran began at 9:45 am and the school was first attacked at 11:22 am. It takes time for leadership to understand the situation and issue evacuation orders, and it takes time for evacuation orders to be followed. It seems the onsite school leadership had decided at 11 am to leave, but like I said, it takes time to communicate with parents and have children picked up, etc.
"Analysis of commercially available satellite images from ... 2018 shows brightly painted walls, soccer fields, assembly rows and play markings."
"Some US analysts took notice as early as 2019 ... logged remarks in a system"
> Iranian authorities failed their own people. Again.
Killing children with taxpayer money vs evacuating a school was part of a military base more than 8 years ago. It is clear what government is failing their people, and it isn't Iran in this context.
It operated openly as a school, and the U.S. Military apparently lacks the intelligence capability to take a satellite photo, and confirm they got the right target before ordering two more strikes on the surviving children.
All I’m hearing you say is retribution would be accepted on schools at bases in the U.S., because shooting first and asking questions later is acceptable behavior.
It wasn't a school in the suburbs. It was next to a legitimate military target, and that's why it was hit tragically and unintentionally.
I've seen the satellite images. You could probably throw a baseball from the compound to the school.
If Iran's navy were stationed off the Florida coast and their commanders making threats, US authorities would remove children from the schools near military bases. Wouldn't they?
You do know there are schools INSIDE american military bases right? Would you respond in the same way to Iran annihilating a school in Florida during classes?
Yes I know, and I would expect if Iran's navy were stationed off the Florida coast and their commanders making threats, US authorities would ensure children weren't concentrated near military bases within striking range.
Came here to ask about this too. I was doing CSG stuff in the early 2000's and got physically and mentally sick from the pure hell that floating point accuracy created for me. Literally led me to quit my job. Full crashout. iykyk
if you get into a config system that's complicated enough, and has modularization or inheritance, you'll know that the semantics of "remove this" "add that", override this, default to this, this stuff is hard to express in most config languages, or worse, you start enforcing application level semantics. when you have turing complete language you just ... do those things. we reduced the configuration data of a tool suite once by 90%+ by moving from json to python. there was a tremendous amount of duplication and overlap, with tons of TINY exceptions and variations. it was so hard to see those differences, brittle to maintain, things would get stale, ... moving to python you basically had the "base" thing expressed in one file, and a bunch of tiny delta files encoding the exact deviations. All those deviations were of the forms I described above. Adding a thing to a list. Removing a thign from a list. Overriding a whole list. Do a thing if not already done. And so on. It's also then easy to build all kinds of diagnostics, validators, etc, right into the same framework, without having to munge the data into some other form first.
