Even if not exactly joining NATO, there is an attempt to create close military ties:

The Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP): "Berlin plus agreement" from March 2003, which allows the EU to use NATO structures, mechanisms and assets to carry out military operations if NATO declines to act.

The European Defence Agency (EDA): established in July 2004 and is based in Brussels. It supports the EU Member States in improving their military capabilities in order to complete CSDP targets as set out in the European Security Strategy.

The European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement (EUUAA): The agreement commits both parties to promote a gradual convergence toward the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) and European Defence Agency (EDA) policies.

I am reminded of the quote attributed to Socrates: "No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."

As the proverbial 90 lb weakling who never did anything athletic, I can attest that once I started, I was amazed at what my body was capable of.

To be fair, we should also understand the context of the quote, which is that Socrates advocates physical strength and training so men could be useful to the states [1].

The Xbox app is not a good indication of RNW performance, by the way. It's like what Slack or Teams is to Electron. According to Microsoft, they don't have any external clients yet. Nor any internal clients apart from Xbox, and now Windows. That means there is no VS Code of RNW just yet.

But anyone can tell you that RMW apps won't be as performant as a native app, such as a WinUI app.

Ponniyin Selvan is a beautiful piece of work. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Kalki spent years researching the topic. His other work, sivakamiyin sabatham is also fantastic.

Anyone interested in historical novels, check out these - Yavana Rani, Kadal Pura and Raja Muthirai. All by an author called Sandilyan.

Kalki’s books are a bit slow paced with phenomenal dialogues, beautiful prose and amazing descriptions. Sandilyan writes short, punchy dialogues and his novels are fast paced. They are both good, but Kalki is better and more authentic. Well with your time.

If you know Tamil, please read them in Tamil, not translations. Kalki especially is not easy to translate.
> Sure, but when safety is the primary concern then nothing gets done.

Incidentally, this is part of the reason why it is cheaper, faster, and easier to build large infrastructure projects outside the West, and why the rate of innovation slows as societies go from developing to developed. Basically, there's some (possibly defined?) sociological cut-off point where societies become more concerned for safety vs possible benefits of the risks they take and eliminate the risk-taking possibility altogether. Before that cut-off point, "life is cheap", and that has all sorts of benefits and detriments for society, after that cut-off point "life is priceless", and that has all sorts of benefits and detriments to society.

Like anything, it seems it's a trade-off without a clear "best" way to do things.

That's not true. It's not just up to Ukraine to join NATO, it has to get approval for it. Beyond that, the US directly and blatantly meddled in Ukrainian affairs to make that happen.

In the PROBIT trial, "13 percent of the children of mothers in the group that wasn’t encouraged to breastfeed had at least one diarrhea episode, versus only 9 percent of those whose mothers were encouraged. The rate of rashes and eczema was also lower in the group whose mothers were encouraged to breastfeed: 3 percent versus 6 percent."

"In this particular study, we cannot reject the possibility that breastfeeding could matter in either direction—that it could decrease or increase respiratory infections. What we can say is that the data doesn’t support the claim of a reduction in respiratory infections as a result of breastfeeding."

"These researchers have continued to follow the children in the trial through the age of seven. They find no evidence of any long-term health impacts: no change in allergies or asthma, cavities, height, blood pressure, weight, or indicators for being overweight or obese."

I don't trust any government agency that sponsors and publishes literal propaganda:

Especially when it's designed to encourage a kind of pro-establishment paranoia and hysteria.

They have section about NATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT that mentions 5G (which isn't even fully deployed and barely used yet) and doesn't mention the fact that US doesn't manufacture antibiotics and many essential drugs domestically?

Their whole website has a very bizarre feel to it. It does not look like a normal government website. No, I'm not talking about design, but the kind of subjects they cover and how they cover them. Click around.
It would be, but it would also be really effective on those initial letters: a near-perfect use case for RLE compression on the first two characters should already result in something close to a 40% size reduction before Huffman encoding. But I suppose implicit delta coding also basically achieves that.

Anyway, thinking about the transposing idea some more: this would effectively split the word in to 26² = 625 "buckets" of three-letter suffixes. What we could do to make those still compress decently after transposing is look for shared suffixes in multiple buckets, and ensure they get grouped together in the same order before transposing. This would result in short runs in those suffixes, squeezing some more compression out of it.

... which should also work really well for implicit delta coding.

Hmm... you know, the basic concept here shouldn't be too difficult to implement and try out out, thanks for the ideas! :)

Show HN: Jokes: fine-tuning GPT to make AI funnier
"Jokes" uses ML to come up with punchlines that will hopefully make you laugh. We created it to test and showcase our ML-focused developer platform "Cloudburst" (links are on the site).

Last year we got some good feedback on burst, our open-source project that facilitates on-demand GPU-enabled cloud compute for developers (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28191450)

Over the last 6 months we have taken that feedback and worked to build the tech into an easy-to-use, free-tier + pay-as-you-go development platform focused (though not exclusively) on Machine Learning, especially exploratory research and model training. Our beta version builds on Jupyterlab, providing IPython notebooks, python-aware editing, and remote terminal access. We include all the source code for the "Jokes" project, as well as tutorials for basic Pytorch and Tensorflow projects.

We're hoping to land a few users to kick the tires and let us know if we are on to something. Links are on the "Jokes" page. If for some reason that page has problems (presumably because it went viral!) try http://cloudburst.host/jokes.

In my view, it's a kind of mental paradigm shift. Before you have your own kids, they're an abstraction. Afterwards, they're people, and in fact they're your family.

I love my own kids, but I'm not sure I love kids. I don't choose to hang out in places where there are lots of kids. Nobody goes to a children's music recital or sports game unless their own kids are involved.

For many, that shift is not a hard edged step function. For instance if people grow up in large, tight knit families, then they've experienced kids and the relationship with family, before having their own. They may have participated in raising little kids. So they might not have fully experienced the paradigm shift, but have learned from cultural immersion that the shift is usually manageable and desirable.

Another paradigm shift is that before having kids, it's hard to judge whether articles like TFA are insightful, or twaddle. After having kids, you quickly learn that all parenting articles are twaddle. ;-)

> has their own moderation system- yet it fails, flails, & is perpetually incompetent

It doesn't just fail - it fails by design most of the times. Facebook's business model is based on "engagement" and promoting harmful, offensive or illegal content (which could and does lead to violence) usually generates more of it than just letting people see friends' updates.

Moderation "succeeds" when it is determined that the negative PR impact of letting the content survive is greater than the profit it generates. They happily let extremist groups organize in the open for months (and profited off them) until it blew up in what became the Capitol insurrection and only took action after the attack when the PR downside was no longer worthwhile.
> HackerNews has a weirdly pro-Russia bent

Maybe US corporate media, owned and controlled by 1% heirs, has a particularly imperial bent, wanting to expand the American empire even farther, in this case US tanks and missiles alongside Ukraine's long border with Russia (which incidentally is filled with Russian speaking ethnic Russians who do not want this). US media is also filled with beneficiaries and think-tankers from the military industrial complex president Eisenhower talked about. The interferers in European affairs George Washington warned about. Anne Applebaum, quoted in this thread, is an un-American, anti-American who wants confrontation with Russia for whatever psychological or political reasons. With the average inflation-adjusted US hourly wage below what it was a half century ago (even before Covid), with a country racked with Covid, the US should not get dragged into a military adventure on Russia's border. Let the Europeans deal with the diplomatic niceties, the US should stay out.

fun example on several levels.. kudos to the courage (and efforts) to make a "simple" opencv example. Regarding the content, the combination of "army" plus "pushups" is really funny.. as an intellectual teen, it was obvious that the Army means "obey" and "minimal requirements" .. a simple push-up, the required number of times, is a great example of this mentality. Yet, a machine-learning opencv application does indeed, count the repetitions with minimal compliance - who could deny it ?

A human being is capable of almost infinite, tiny variations of movement, with core resonance around the structural mechanisms of movement.. the bones and the muscles.. add to that the varying and alive nervous system, wiring the sensors of the senses, and then the emotional and consciousness of the individual, and perhaps of a teacher too, in that moment. All of which is utterly lost in the activity of "minimal compliance" "obey" push-ups. Yet, proper form push-ups are useful and constructive, who could deny it? and poor form push-ups are less effective, and may lead to injury at the worst, who could deny it?

I find the combination here of clever programming, insensitive compliance-based motivation, and quick propagation to millions of readers, to be fertile ground for re-thinking what it is that computers have brought, and how those machines are integrating in to real life today.

I don't like GitHub's security screener dismissing this report because of the "social engineering" aspect.

Precise is not a term that's often used when considering clocks in the unqualified sense.

The two usual dimensions you consider are accuracy and stability.

Accuracy is about how well your clock tracks the target timebase over a long period, like a month. If your clock is free-running then this is important to you. Many kinds of clocks have aging effects, meaning that they become less accurate over time.

Stability is about whether the individual "ticks" of the clocks have the same duration. Phase noise and clock stability are the same thing, so if you're using your clock to generate radio frequencies, this might actually be more important to you than accuracy.

A clock can be accurate but unstable, or stable but inaccurate and so on.

The most accurate clock technology is the atomic clock. The high-end of that market is represented by cesium standards, with rubidium standards at the lower-end.

The most stable clocks outside the laboratory setting are ovenized crystal oscillators (OCXO). This is fundamentally a quartz crystal inside a metal box with a heater to keep a constant temperature.

The next aspect is clock disciplining. Unless you intend to run your clock free and rely on its fundamental accuracy, you're probably going to synchronize it vs a superior standard. A common option for clock discipline is GPS, i.e. you're synchronizing your clock to the atomic clocks of the GPS satellites.

NTP is simply a network-based mechanism for disciplining a clock. If you want "better NTP", that's called "PTP" but it's really only a local-area network thing.
There's also no proof that a TRNG exists. Physics is consistent with an entirely deterministic universe.

Interesting insight. I probably never was part of a real by the book SAFe environment then.

In all SAFe projects I took part never was there a second backlog. Or if there was one (once) the reasoning was:

"Let'sput everything from tech in there. We will revisit it once we have done the important/business-relevant stuff."

My take away message is that no matter what, business either cares for security or it doesn't. No framework will help against the priorities of product/management if they are aligned against security.
Does the GPL(v2) actually say you can't static link anywhere in its text?

IIRC the static link thing was a FSF interpretation that is not incorporated in the license text. The GPL only stipulates that derivative works must be GPL'd without going into specifics what kind of linking constitutes a derivative work. In case of dispute a court would likely interpret "derivative work" according to standard copyright law (after all it's a legal term) unless there is evidence that the parties intended to use the FSF interpretation.

When it comes to big corporations, maximizing profit is the only thing that matters. Someone like Dan Carlin doesn’t need to make millions of dollars, doesn’t need to answer to investors. That gives him the luxury of taking as much time as he needs, to make the best episodes possible.

It's also very small. We used it extensively on embedded Linux devices in the 2000s for these reasons as well as easy interop with C/C++.

You could, but the missiles would generate debris on impact. They could also be intercepted in some circumstances.

Instead if you position a bunch of "service" and "maintenance" satellites that are conveniently in orbits near enemy satellites (in terms of delta-V) then basically get to prestage the entire event before war actually breaks out.

There are plenty of satellites that basically spend time "near" unfriendly nations satellites. This is mostly for counter-intelligence as far as I can tell.

To disable an enemy satellite quietly one theory I heard was to simply carry a can of black spray paint aboard, then use it to coat the enemy satellite when you want to disable it. Anything optical would be disabled immediately. The satellite would probably overheat because the reflective coating would be gone.
> The fact that Apple released 3 phones in 3 years with this form factor shows me that it is a profitable market segment and that there is demand.

I don't think this is necessarily a good conclusion. Typically planning and design of a phone happens at least 2 years in advance. This means that they may have been lining up manufacturing contracts for the iPhone 13 mini before they had decisive evidence on the profitability of the iPhone SE. Also note that the profitability of the SE may well have been based on price more than size.

I think if they release another one then it is likely that they do find it profitable and one next year would be pretty strong evidence.
