To alter the picture a bit and complicate a lot more:

it's of course possible to make a new jet fighter/bomber/thing that satisfies all of the requirements. The issue is cost and time.

The F35 is a classic mega-R&D project. Like going to the Moon, fusion, self-driving cars, XUV litography [or the whole process/node change from 10nm to 7 or 5nm]. Costs are enormous, lifetime TCO is also very high. It's so complex and funding is so far from infinite, that it is and will be never "done".

We know these. Just as you can always tweak a nuclear reactor or atomic bomb design, just as you can always make better microchips, you can always make better jets.

It's also very similar to the JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) - the goal/design is pretty straightforward, just the engineering way to get there, is not. It calls for "tech" that's simply does not exist, and calls for systems integration of that tech on a level that simply cannot be adequately estimated/planned.

Fusion, the JWST and the F-35 have different principal constraints (the JWST seems the simplest, it is simply cost constrained - every part of the R&D/assembly/verification process seems so underfunded that all the other parts/participants have to wait for each other - and downtime is not cheap either, specialists can't just go and have a gig while they wait for others/testing/manufacturing; the F-35 is probably very bureaucratically constrained, a bit like ITER [the big international fusion project] - everyone has a small part in it, so there's is lots and lots and even more back and forth between everybody, problems are discovered, tweaking needs discussions, discussions with many parties are a nightmare, everything needs paperwork, because it's public money after all, etc.)

This does not make the F35 "bad", but of course begs the question of spending efficacy. Was there really no better way to spend all this money and achieve very similar goals? There probably was.

But. Usually these projects are a success even if the end result is useless. Because they fund R&D in many places.

For example a good overview of how mega-R&D translates into tangible innovations is the W7X brochure: https://www.ipp.mpg.de/987655/w7x_and_industry_en.pdf (Germany spent a few hundred millions euros, and most of that went to small shops iterating on their tech - which of course helps Germany remain competitive on the global markets).
Can't deloy them how? You would still use gradle or maven and package/deploy the same way.
> but that's similar to how 192.168.0.1 can be written as 192.168.000.001

I would advise you not to do that. Some systems read the numbers with atoi(), which will interpret a leading zero as a prefix for 'octal' like in C.
I laughed. But you are right! Thanks. Not sure how easy would it be to Tor embed it. I will check if that's possible at all
It is a massive project that has been years in the making.
Digitized is an odd word choice. I’m pretty sure minidisc was already a digital format.
IPv6 doesn't prevent you from using memorizable addresses. You can configure your hosts with the ULA addresses fd::1, fd::2, fd::3 etc.
In addition to inflation (which other commenters have already mentioned), don't forget to take into account the relative sizes of 1983 Apple vs today's Google.
But they don’t make any money on the sales. They are donating all the income to charity.

One lesson of history the governments can try to remember is: do not sacrifice your strategic goals for a short-term gain, or "avoid hotfixes in production".

Example 1: Septimus Severus raised the legionary's yearly pay from 300 to 400 denarii while decreasing the amount of silver in a denarius by a half, thus thoroughly upsetting the Roman economy.

Example 2: Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Ukraine on 9 February 1918. Ukraine obliged to deliver grain to Austria-Hungary to relieve the food shortage. In exchange, Ukraine was given lands that Polish people considered their own. When the news went public, the Poles, hitherto the most loyal nation to the Habsburgs, changed the orientation to anti-Austrian. In due time, their Regency Council declared independence.

Yes, that is because the growth estimates assume that we live in a world where scarcity problems are not solved.
I have no idea how you got that from my comment. No where did I say we need to shuffle people around the city forever as we currently do. The city can only do so much (the up-zoning was badly needed), the state won't act, the federal government obviously won't act primarily because of attitudes such as yours, so the problem persists meanwhile you wonder why nothing changes.

Our national economy is a ponzi scheme, and our homeless are its primary victims. Until we solve the scheming, the homeless problem will only get worse.
Agreed, like I said it will be interesting see what the final patch set will be.

Diagnosing some bugs can take a huge amount of time, work, and luck (I had a bug one time where the repro steps required a specific google reader account and a stapler resting on the space bar for an hour or so).

But for a bug that has a trivial test case, especially in the context of parsing/validating bugs generally, isolating the bug should not be hugely challenging (a few days).

Much more likely in my experience is that the nature of the specific flaw indicates that there is a pattern in your code base that is potentially unsafe - at that point you want to fix all instances of the pattern, because when you release the patch you’re documenting the flawed pattern.
The budget of ISRO (their NASA) for what they have accomplished is amazing.

It is critical for India to retain the talents of own people rather let them be poached by HB1 visa's and eventually emigrating to the US.

But the exchange of labor has nothing to do with profit, since financialization. There have been many smart people for decades now, making this be so. It's very important today to come up with profit scenarios that don't depend on labor in any way.

Don't fret. Foreign aid to India is rapidly declining. In fact, for the past 3 years India has been a net donor of aid than a receiver[1].

Total US Aid to India is also rapidly declining on a year-on-year basis. $180M in 2016, $102M in 2017, $85M in 2018, $30M (so far) in 2019.[2]

This was solved in rust by approaching it from the other side. You need to be explicit everywhere that a value is "borrowed", so while you never need a `->`, you'll still know it's dereferencing in the more natural place - before the variable, not as an implied step after.

You seem to think an institution the size of Apple is able to turn on a dime and change their entire modus operandi. That is some kind of supervillain logic, and I don’t think it’s true at all of real world institutions their size.

Their recent focus on “privacy” is a happy accident of how they make money. They are uniquely positioned to brag about how little data they collect, because they make money off luxury hardware and service fees, not data hoarding. Ultimately that’s why it’s trustworthy - the entire way they run their business happens to be aligned with privacy as a value, so we don’t just have to judge their character to believe it.

It’s the exact opposite of Google, whose business has always run on targeted advertisement, and thus is fundamentally at odds with privacy.

For this to change substantially even in 5 years, both of the companies would have to go through fundamental and opposing transformations. I find that extremely unlikely.
Imagine having to support iOS, Android and Hongmeng.
It’s a reasonably interesting topic and an important one to discuss - but I’d caution that Aaron Bastani is generally a bit of a controversial left- wing provocateur figure with a knack for mis-predicting events, and his book mostly has middling reviews.

None of that is to say you shouldn’t read it and consider it in the context of the future of automation, but expect a somewhat over-earnest political manifesto rather than a critical analysis.
We shouldn't.
I run a group of telegram bots for helping to moderate these large telegram groups. A quick look through the logs shows mostly a lot of marijuana for sale in Dutch and a heap of cryptocurrencies preventing spam attacks. Having said that, as the bots are used in hundreds of groups I wonder what analysis I could do on the data.

Really sorry to hear what you're going through. Cancer is a terrible terrible thing for the sufferer and their carers alike.

I do however disagree with some points made; as a researcher who doesn't work in cancer, I often see it as a very well funded area of science relative to almost all others (in Australia at least, and I suspect the rest of the Western world). Obviously there are differences in funding for various cancer types, which is caused by a range of factors. Research funding across most areas could be improved IMO.

I'd add that on average, the biggest risk factor for cancer is age - we live longer than in the past, thus we're more likely to get cancer. There are other risk factors of course, but apart from things like smoking, being irradiated or infected with certain viruses, they likely pale in comparison to simply growing old and collecting a long list of mutations in various cells over time, with awful consequences for the unlucky.

The rules are always flexible enough. They never matter.

The power structure, the actual humans making decisions are all that is important.

And currently that behemoth is hell bent on not giving a fuck about itself, its components [the humans] are mostly looking out for themselves, there's not enough institutional inertia to change this, etc.

I'm not saying it needs to be dismantled, torched to the ground, blablabla, but of course there needs to be deep, systematic, qualitative and quantitative changes. Personnel, ideology/dogma, leadership, training, culture, process, structure.

"Congress" (or more precisely the upper echelon of the power structure - Congress/courts/administration are just the venues where the show happens) is in a gridlock over moral issues, that means everything else is at best performing at the level of the status quo, at worse things become chips in the very high-stakes poker game.
On another note, did any other services go down or have trouble during this period? What other methods of communication are people on the ground in Hong Kong using?
While there might be some puritanism in there, I think the implication is these theoretical errors lead to erroneous conclusions. I.e: Bastani is using certain conclusions from Marx, while changing certain premises, and not doing the work to then argue the conclusions still hold. I didn't read the piece closey enough (and my Marx isn't strong enough) to really go in-depth there though.
As a general rule, partnerships are very risky and should be avoided, and this story illustrates that.

You can configure a desktop for way cheaper than that and it can run 90% of modern games. Just don't get the latest generation top of the line Nvidia/AMD card, either get the previous top of the line one or a decent mid-range one (check benchmarks when choosing).

Don't get the most expensive RAM or CPU, you lose 10% real performance but you halve your budget.
This is exactly it. If the bar owner living upstairs already pays for satellite TV for home use, why pay the extra for the bar license? Just rig up an HDMI splitter.
My main gripe with Atom is when editing a doc with multi-cursors it's slow as balls on big docs. Sublime and VS Code outperform it by a huge margin - and this update doesn't seem to address that.
While the topic is aircraft, it's worth pointing out the diminished and maybe questionable role of air combat in general. As usual, people think how to win the previous war.

It's all about cyber war, foreign agents supposedly manipulating (US) elections without repercussions, espionage and manipulation of networks and devices on all levels.

This reality requires a complete rebuild of relevant networks, software and hardware, a large "cyber force" of people who have skills that right now only a handful of experts have, and fundamental changes in how society communicates and deals with information.

While your post was entertaining, to me it is about as relevant as a discussion how to breed and train horses for cavalry.
Nice idea, but not sure why you need a dedicated app like Day One ($36 p.a. for premium) to keep a journal though. You could do the same thing in pretty much any notes app for free, or just keep a Word doc or similar.
I'm not remembering all the details (I think the F-102). They tried an all service fighter back in the 1950's and the Navy eventually put their foot down. My impression has been the F35 is spork with wings.

Borg has a lot going for it, but I'm hesitant to call something a holy grail or one true way if it can't do compact diffs. Especially when it needs active server software, which makes pruning much easier.
That's not how v6 works. v6 addresses aren't linked to devices or IDs; typically your devices will generate themselves a random address, and generate a new one every day or so.

On the other hand, the extreme shortage of v4 addresses combined with pervasive use of NAT basically requires services to become more centralized, which makes surveillance easier. It's true there are other incentives for companies to centralize things, but surely removing the requirement to do so will make the situation better, rather than worse?
I've asked myself this too, and it occurred to me that there are a fair number of people on HN who are "older" (even older than me!) and Defense/Aerospace were pretty common places for techies to work in, say, the 80's. Often the only game in town.

That, and I think tons of tech-oriented people love flying machines, and a good exit or a fat Google salary makes it much more realistic to exercise that passion in real life.

Would a plane better at loitering be able to provide more useful fire support? Or is that simply solved by having more A-10s and cycling them more?

I thought the same (would be perfect match actually), but it's 鸿蒙 (hong2meng2).

鸿 hong2 can mean wild goose or writing/correspondence

蒙 meng2/meng1 can mean a few things, to cover (2), to fool (1), stupid (2).

So maybe to cover all aspects of correspondence? I'm not sure if this sense of cover applies here though. That would at least make some sense. To fool would be wrong according to the indicated pinyin tones on the wikipedia page.
I read Jean M. Auel's prehistoric fiction series "Earth's Children" [0] when I was young. In it, Neanderthals are depicted as having a complex sign/gesture based language, with additional limited vocalisations for alert/alarm communications etc. It is a major feature of the series, and pretty interesting.

I recommend the series if you're interested in primitive skills, as it also describes many prehistoric technologies in detail (e.g. tool and weapon construction, food collection, medecine etc.). Sure, it is a work of fiction, but it's interesting and Auel did a lot of research during writing.

[0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_Children
Yes, some combination of variables/features grouped and connected with operators that correlate to an optima (some of which are parameters we can specify) that occurs immediately or after a period of lag during which other variables of the given complex system are dangerously assumed to remain constant.

> In fact, this is exactly the blindness that led to people missing the financial crisis

ML was not necessary to recognize the yield curve inversion as a strongly predictive signal correlating to subsequent contraction.

An NN can certainly learn to predict according to the presence or magnitude of a yield curve inversion and which combinations of other features.

- [ ] Exercise: Learning this and other predictive signals by cherry-picking data and hand-optimizing features may be an extremely appropriate exercise.

"This field is different because it's nonlinear, very complex, there are unquantified and/or uncollected human factors, and temporal"

Maybe we're not in agreement about whether AI and ML can do causal inference just as well if not better than humans manipulating symbols with human cognition and physical world intuition. The time is nigh!

In general, while skepticism and caution are appropriate, many fields suffer from a degree of hubris which prevents them from truly embracing stronger AI in their problem domain. (A human person cannot mutate symbol trees and validate with shuffled and split test data all night long)

> Anyone trying to understand economic phenomena needs to be keenly aware of how inference can be done, which requires an understanding (or an approach to) - that is, a theory - of the underlying mechanisms.

I read this as "must be biased by the literature and willing to disregard an unacceptable error term"; but also caution against rationalizing blind findings which can easily be rationalized as logical due to any number of cognitive biases.

Compared to AI, we're not too rigorous about inductive or deductive inference; we simply store generalizations about human behavior and predict according to syntheses of activations in our human NNs.

If you're suggesting that the information theory that underlies AI and ML is insufficient to learn what we humans have learned in a few hundred years of observing and attempting to optimize, I must disagree (regardless of the hardness or softness of the given complex field). Beyond a few combinations/scenarios, our puny little brains are no match for our department's new willing AI scientist.

> How do you know that person is not sitting in the same newsroom? Or the next one?

You don't but the "person on Twitter said XYZ" at least has a (flimsy) verification test attached to it - search on Twitter, see if you find it. Now, sure, maybe Fred from the next office over posted it after they concocted the story at lunch but the timestamp and age of the account betrays that. Also if it's an egg avatar or has a name like 'madeup9384874'.

No, it's not perfect but at least there is -some- way of potentially verifying that someone, not the reporter, said this.
