  • What is the justification for rolling disclosure? That seems like a very obvious problem for this kind of a report

    The above methodological concerns, however, are amplified by a rhetorical concern, obscured by what one might call the CASE report’s “rolling disclosure” — an opaque process by which the report’s findings are slowly and partially revealed over time, rather than all at once. This complicates the ability for readers to scrutinize the report’s raw data, as well as its author’s interpretation of that data.

    When the CASE report was first released on Aug. 5, it exclusively highlighted the experience of Zionist Jewish respondents, while making zero reference to the experience of those anti-Zionist students who participated in the survey.

    In stark contrast, amongst anti-Zionist Jewish respondents, a whopping 92 per cent said their campuses were safe and inclusive for Jewish students. In the National Post column, the authors try to write off the anti-Zionist data as a “psychological or social” phenomenon rooted in “a desire for social acceptance.”

    The reality seems much simpler: Zionist Jewish students conflate hostility towards Israel with hostility towards Jews, whereas anti-Zionist Jewish students do not.











  • Exposed to the air / elements I guess?

    Fueled by climate change, the fires and explosions show that the continent’s “climatic luck” is running out, said Sarah Njeri, a peace and conflict scholar at London’s School of Oriental and African Studies. Steady temperatures and predictable rainfall once ensured that most buried weapons stayed dormant.

    “Climate change is now doing the work of unburying and reactivating what was previously stable,” Njeri said. Fires can ignite old munitions but can also burn away the scrub and brush that hides them.





  • It’s actually pretty useful for those who need that use case.

    They have one API for all the models, and when a few companies are offering the same models, they will send it to the one that is cheaper or faster, depending on the user’s settings. That kind of developer simplicity is pretty much why Stripe got popular too.

    They also have a lot of data on which models are popular, which ones are being used by specific tools, etc.

    Now that open weight and international models are getting popular over the american big tech ones, it seems like a lot of companies want something that can redirect their usage to whatever model fits within their preferred parameters.
