Programming the drones would be a pain. The wikileak ROE from 2008 was 27 pages long whereas Alexa struggles to converse on the topic of two plus two. Maybe some century we can replace the entire policy generating middle management of the Army with an AI; not any time soon it seems.

That discussion about swarms always devolves to "just push human beings near the action before launching the pitbull outta control killer drones" which for the last 30 years has been repeatedly successfully been implemented as modern jet fighters carrying short range sidewinder IR guided missiles, which annoys the people who thought they invented the new idea of explosive drones, little did they know we've been doing that for generations and its unfortunately probably even more expensive than swarms of WWII era P-51s with human pilots.
This is similar to the Uzebox, which also uses a single microcontroller and full software video signal generation.

Well, launch your preferred browser, open the devtools (F12 in Firefox), make a request on the homepage of Reddit and HN and look at the result in the "debugger".

- For HN you only have an optimized HTML page as well a short javascript download.

- For Reddit you have a truckload of files which then dynamically load content piece by piece, and also loads ad content from elsewhere (c.amazon-adsystem.com in my case).

Reddit's full content is bigger than HN's, but that isn't really a problem. The real problem is that everything is loaded by tiny chuncks, which adds loads of latencies for a total of a few seconds to load the page. If everything was in one big file it would be (and feel) way faster.
I don't even understand the point you are making then (apart from me apparently arguing solely with sophisms, which is kind of a prowess).

How this "rigor" you are calling for should manifest, then? Put bluntly, my point was that every software has bug, so how "more rigor" would help? What should we do, what should we ask for in _practical_ terms?

Also, please do not rephrase this last sentence as "oh so since every software has bugs, then you obviously say that we shouldn't fix bugs, anyway other bugs will remain!".

Not true. They have a rotation of weekly stock in the last few months. You just have to be on top of it to beat everyone else as most items go OOS within 5 minutes. Barbells are consistently stocked weekly and plates as well. I've managed to build out my gym within the last 4 months with everything I need: rack, adjustable and flat benches, multiple barbells, over 700 lbs in bumper/iron plates, powerblocks and an echo bike. You can follow along (as well as tracking other companies stock) on the stock and shipping thread at r/homegym.

New era of fast-food's fried chicken wars heat up
There's been some real uptake for large consumers of embedded cores who can use it to avoid paying ARM royalties and to be able to add their own custom instructions for their specific workloads.

And in teaching. If you're going to get a sophomore to build their first 3 stage RISC pipeline or a senior their first OoO machine with register renaming then RISC-V's consistent design removes a lot of unnecessary distractions.

I assume people are using it in research too. If I were to redo my thesis on improving adder efficiency today I'd probably look at using an open source RISC-V design as a base.

I'm skeptical of RISC-V's ability to succeed as an application core like ARM's A series or modern x86. But none the less I'm bullish on it having an important future.

> Google had a surveys program where you could earn credits for the google play store and every now and then you would get a trap question usually formatted something like "Have you used x product" or "how well do you know x" where x does not exist. Anyone who answers incorrectly will see limited surveys in the future.

Google Rewards still exists, and as recently as a couple of weeks ago had a question in that format (though I am not sure if it was actually a nonexistent brand, and I don't recall enough about the question to look it up now).
I think Notion was the first one of the recent bunch, and they created something much better than the standard "Write some text" and since they got traction, others saw that they could do better and have started focusing in that direction.
Very cool.

It's interesting to me that while some of these microcontroller chips (fast enough to do vga) have been around 15 years or so, it's only in the last 5 years or so that people have figured out how to bitbang pretty decent vga output from them.

And now that we have 100Mhz+ microcontrollers people are making really simple devices that take advantage of it. I was pretty impressed with this $11 ESP32 gadget that replicates what an old VT100 would do, but with vga output and a ps/2 keyboard. It also does retro games: https://www.tindie.com/products/ttgo/lilygor-ttgo-vga32_v14-...

There's a huge international market of potential app users that tolerate ads but would never pay to purchase an app. Even in affluent areas, many people balk at a $0.99 app but are totally fine with ads. This, of course, is the entire business model of Facebook, Instagram, etc.

The billion dollar question is: how do you monetize non-paying users, at scale, without ads?

> Practically, it's the PWR- Pressurised Water Reactor. I say practically as there are always new developments, like Thorium-Salt reactors that made the headlines a while back, but these are the reactors that are producing the majority of nuclear electricity and haven't had a single major accident.

Three Mile Island was a PWR. Of course, it wasn't a major accident in the sense that no significant radioactivity escaped the plant, but it was a major economic hit for the operator, and gave an unfortunate boost to various anti-nuclear groups.

I think in practice, BWR's are considered about equally safe as PWR's. Yes, Fukushima was BWR's, but it's uncertain if same vintage PWR's with equivalent safety equipment would have fared any better.

> They contain less fissile material in the reactor core

Compared to what? A fast reactor of equivalent size, sure, but this isn't really the thing holding fast reactors back..

> they are purely Boron moderated

No, they are water moderated. Boron, which is an efficient neutron adsorber, is used to control the reactivity during the burnup. That is, with fresh fuel rods the boron concentration in the water is higher to compensate for the higher reactivity of the fuel.

There is ongoing research to design LWR's without boron, in order to avoid the corrosion issues and the equipment needed for controlling boron concentration. One way is to have rods filled with DU, which are slowly pulled out (and the volume replaced by water) as burnup proceeds. This approach has its own downsides, but, we'll see.

This would generally be the function of a counter-intelligence or internal (criminal) investigation group.

In the US that would be handled by the FBI -- they're legally the only ones that can spy on citizens in in the US. They work hand-in-glove with other agencies, but they own domestic.

A non-US example would be Russia, where the FSB (which Putin used to be the head of) handles internal investigations and counterintelligence like the FBI, while the SVR handles foreign intelligence. Or MI5 vs MI6 in the UK, etc.

As i wrote in another comment, those comparisons 99.9% of the time lose a ton of details so they are not helpful at all.

The choice for others to have no choice is not really much of a choice - not only i want to have a choice in what i install on iOS devices but i also want the ability to have a choice available in all of the devices i paid for, especially in an environment where other companies see Apple's success and become too thirsty for it and try to copy them (see Microsoft as an example).
Your own situation wouldn't be different if you had alternatives to Apple's store. Apple can even market their own store as the one with higher quality apps and promote their safety guarantees. Applications from another store wouldn't have to be less "safe" (depending on your definition) as other iOS applications, they would still use the same sandbox system and all the other standard APIs. You can always decide to stick to one store and not care about the rest.

Considering the fact that you prefer Apple to block you from other options: it doesn't follow that they should do this to everyone, just that you would still pick that option if you had the choice.
The danger mentioned is realistic and should be taken seriously. However, for those who dont live in a hurricane danger zone (I'm in Florida), these doomsday articles are a normal, everyday thing. Every single year since I was 12 and paid attention/tracked hurricanes (that's 21 years ago), "Experts predict ~3 major hurricanes will make landfall this year..." killing everyone, washing away Florida, flattening civilization, ending life as we know it, yadda yadda. This is the Weather Channel as well.

It gets old.

What's sad, the 2 or 3 honest concerned studies are drowned out by the millions of fear mongering, wolf criers. Do I think this article is honest? Other than the unneeded slow burn beginning, yea. But at the same time, hurricane zones have different building codes. This isn't as big of a "surprise" problem as people imagine. No one is really surprised that anything is "vulnerable" on the gulf coast. The American Chernobyl is just clickbait.

But you are, they're not worthless inventory, just a buffer and you're still using them.

If you're JITting then those costs you claim will not go away, they're just passed on to your suppliers (who have to handle their pipeline/stocks) who will pass them back to you as higher prices. I don't get it.
That 4,000 is estimated based on just radiation to a small area and was never intended as any kind of a total.

long-term death estimates range from up to 4,000 (per the 2005 and 2006 conclusions of a joint consortium of the United Nations) for the most exposed people of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, to 16,000 in total for all those exposed on the entire continent of Europe, with figures as high as 60,000 when including the relatively minor effects around the globe.[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_due_to_the_Chernobyl_di...

What’s more concerning is limiting things to deaths as if that was the only form of harm. People can survive cancer, but not without economic, emotional, etc harm. Further, giant exclusion zones and ongoing mitigation efforts are extremely expensive.

> It seems much of what Unity changes is driven by announcements, marketing/finance over what engineers want.

That's my exact feeling about Unity, it reminds me of Windows, 3DSMax, and many other software where the mentality is basically : let's pile up every shiny features on top of each other to attract more companies & people.

Unity is a big mess. There is no coherence, no planning, no step back on what they are doing.

Sure on the short term users don't care. You can get the latest shiny features that will make your game look cool.

Unity is great when you have a deadline and you want to quickly get something working by throwing a few asset store components together and then adding nice looking effects on top of it. It's messy but it looks good and your boss is happy.

But building whole games on top of this Tower of Pisa gives a very unsatisfactory feeling of not doing clean code.

I think Godot vs. Unity is going to be the same story as with Blender. Short Term, marketing and shiny features win but on the long term doing your own coherent way without caring about the competition wins.

Uni / Work is forcing me to use Unity, but I'm going Godot whenever I am allowed to choose the engine
Again a comparison that doesn't make sense - also employers pay you whereas when you buy an iOS device you pay for it. So not only you give Apple your money but also you give up control to them.
"We should socialize the learnings from this discussion."

Is close to a real sentence pronounced upon us from a management type during one of their endless Zoom meetings.

Someone sent in a semi-private chat shared by some of us, "They meant, we should share what we've learned."
Handstand pushups for example.
"Was ist der Unterschied zwischen einem Raben und einem Schreibtisch"?

As you mention, it gets even screwier given the opportunity to put a "nicht" (not) at the very end of a sentence to lead listeners down a garden path.
Don't know what you meant when you divided "people" into those two categories, but it's either truism or irrelevant.
Google is just a name, the point is it has a lot of power and even if a lot of people are "good" that doesn't mean they won't change, fuck up or be replaced at some point with a team that is less ethical. It's like it is with nukes. No one should have a weapon capable of such destruction.
So this whole thread is "Fires good because seeds on some Trees", right?
Most people just want to express their opinions and not really learn anything or truly discuss it. I accepted that life is a lot easier that way
I wouldn't say its inferior by any means. I think the biggest difference is accessibility. When one uses weights, progression is very simple, just increase the weight. With body weight exercises one must switch exercises to increase / change the leverage and make the exercise harder to continue progression. A good example of this is going from a regular push up, to a diamond pushup, then moving toward pseudo planche pushups. The move from regular to diamond is not too bad as you only need to move your hands closer together, but to make progress towards PPPU, you have to learn how to do a planche lean forward a tiny bit more each time you attempt PPPU's eventually moving your hands from under your shoulders to practically under your hips for generating the push motion. So I guess the main point is body weight exercises require more study and coaching generally to see progression than exercises with weights and the progression you do see is less noticeable than simply adding more weight each time you workout, but they are both very good at gaining strength.

Right - but I understand capturing Crimea was about securing access to the Black Sea before Ukraine eventually joins the EU or NATO. I feel it was a long-term strategic goal rather then an ideological or nationalistic goal.

When I think of the SU’s expansionist goals I think of Seven Days to the Rhine rather than territorial gains of convenience - so I apologise for being vague in my original comment.

I know the same argument applies to the PRC: their occupation of the South China Sea is opportunistic and strategic and so is more comparable to Crimea - it’s not like China is invading Vietnam or South Korea with intent to annex them.
