From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israeli_judicial_reform_p...

> [The 2023 Israeli judicial reform] seeks to curb the judiciary's influence over lawmaking and public policy by limiting the Supreme Court's power to exercise judicial review, granting the government control over judicial appointments and limiting the authority of its legal advisors. If adopted, the reform would grant the Knesset the power to override Supreme Court rulings that deem legislation passed by the Knesset as unconstitutional, by reintroducing the legislation and approving it with a majority of Knesset Members.

From https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/petals/wiki/Security,...

> Q: Does Petals guarantee that model outputs are correct?

> Not by default. A faulty or malicious server could give you incorrect outputs. There are two things you can do about this:

> - Verify outputs. Send some of your tensors to two or more peers and check that the answers match.

> - Set up a private swarm. You can launch your own swarm hosted by people and organization you trust, who are authorized to process your data.

> In future, we plan to implement an automatic verification and a reputation system, so that clients can select servers that they can trust.

A couple of notes

  - If I tag a docker image with multiple tags, and then push it to Gitlab, each tag counts towards the storage limits even though SHAs are identical. eg 100MB container tagged with "latest" and "v0.5" uses 200MB of storage.
  - The storage limit is not per repository, but per namespace. So 5GB free combined for all repositories under your user. If you create a group, then you get 5GB free combined for that group. Does this include forks? Does this include compression server side?
  - The 10GB egress limit per month includes egress to self-hosted Gitlab Runners in free tier. Consider this with the 400 minutes per month limit on shared runners.

These limits feel less like curbing abuse and more like squeezing to see who will jump to premium while reducing operating costs. Is this a consequence to Gitlab hosting on GCP with associated egress and storage costs? Is this a move to improve financials / justify a market cap with fiscal storm clouds on the horizon? Is this being incentivized by $67m in awarded stock between the CFO and 2 directors?

> To celebrate today's good news we've permanently raised our storage limit per repository on GitLab.com from 5GB to 10GB. As before, public and private repositories on GitLab.com are unlimited, don't have a transfer limit and they include unlimited collaborators.

I've been diagnosed by a GP, but I didn't find that diagnosis led to specific treatment. Most conventional doctors treat it as depression if other tests come back normal. I've tried heaps of other health practitioners over the past 15 years and its been hit and miss. I had a lot of family support from the start.

B-Complex in the morning and Magnesium in the evening, along with Enzo Pine Bark for cognitive issues made a huge difference for me for the past 3-4 years. I've recently been focusing more on digestion, the gut, microbiome etc. Changing diet, dropping gluten and dairy made a huge difference. I had markers showing celiac disease. Most of the changes have been trial and error, noticing the patterns as I went.

I've been seeing a psychologist since my last burnout too. I recognize I feel I have to overcompensate for the tiredness and looking weak from CFS by taking on risk and pushing myself into burnout. The stakes of trauma and conflict are higher for me. I always felt like I was alone with CFS, like no-one understands and that was incredibly isolating. And there is a feeling of being in a car crash in slow motion keeps me in a constant state of chronic stress. Some of my experiences could be seen as being locked in the "freeze" state, with efforts to move out of that state producing panic and anxiety. To me I believe this is all a minor (but still important) part of the complex picture though, and related to the consequences of my experiences both socially and personally with my condition.

Life events have been super hard because I'm already primed with stress so sometimes the hits hit harder and recovery takes longer. A supportive partner and family definitely has helped.

I tried exercise and yoga, I would get yoga lows and exercise did not make me feel better personally. For a long time, I wouldn't get burn when exercising, instead I would feel weaker like I was wasting away. And then one day I was trying some new changes and I felt I could handle going to the gym - I got positive gains out of it.

I see my CFS as a complex array of vague dependencies, interrelations and consequences. An analogy is getting someone out of poverty, it may be a lot more complex than just giving someone money to give them a hand out, theres usually a lot of reasons (and assumptions on my part), and its usually easier to denigrate, not care and ignore them. Every way I look at it I see a different viewpoint. It has been a journey of poking in all directions trying to find a way in, and an emergence of a personal truth and understanding.

I want to emphasize its not all straightforward - I've given up many times along the way.

One of the things that I came across when I was looking for an RPi camera replacement was Samsung's "ISOCELL Plug and Play" - A turn-key solution with prepackaged lens, EIS, image pretuning, and VCX* objective camera evaluation. The image looked good enough compared to cutting edge at the time, and I imagined it would be perfect for small startups and companies who wanted a quick time to market.

Unfortunately I never got one and it now looks to be unavailable. I don't know if Samsung would have had interest in Open Source efforts to support the modules.
