I'm from India. Lighting in my middle class house, since forever, has been poor. I never consciously felt it when I was still studying. Just that the rooms were dark and I would prefer to play/study outside, or in the front room, where the door was always open, allowing a lot of sunlight.

I realized the lighting factor a few years back. Now, My own home has two lights in every room and whenever I am studying/reading/cooking, I always have them both on.

The difference is stark. Perhaps I am clutching my pearls when I say this, but I feel my quality of life has improved with better lighting.

I also got my walls painted with very light colors, and the ambient light is just amazing.

Good lighting is a blessing.
I saw this the other day and it makes me very sad. Obviously it's completely irrelevant compared to all the other attrocities happening in Ukraine, but at least for me personally the An-225 was a symbol of incredible engineering and perseverance to get it built. It's a huge shame it was destroyed.

I guess we can hope that after this war someone will put in the money to get the second airframe out of storage and get it finished. I'd assume the demand is there.
Yeah Americans seem to associate 'bright white light' with commercial or institutional spaces and dimmer yellow light with 'home' but it's not a universal view, the aesthetic is cultural

In fairness, I'm sure Gentoo doesn't always win; assuming Ubuntu compiles with something like `-O2` and some lowest-common-denominator march/mtune, plenty of programs won't meaningfully use newer CPU features nor benefit from O3, or will barely benefit (below the noise floor of the benchmark). I mean, at the end of the day you're taking the same-ish programs and building them with the same-ish compilers; if the only difference is that one distro compiles for a newer exact CPU target, it'll win sometimes but not always. I was just surprised at the notion that it could ever lose, since anything Ubuntu could ask gcc to do, Gentoo could do just as well; unless it's something like Gentoo happening to lag a gcc version at the exact time of the comparison, it shouldn't be able to be worse than Ubuntu. (Unless you count the overhead of doing the compile, in which case it can be quite easy to beat:])

The part of Kalman filtering that's always frustrated me is everyone loves to roll up their sleeves and show the fancy theory, but nobody ever seems interested in the practical aspects of how to implement it - in particular, how to come up with good covariance matrices in the first place, especially for a dynamical system where the covariance might change significantly over time. It's not easy [1] and tutorials seem to provide very little if any guidance on how to do it properly for something more complicated than a chicken crossing a road. You can't run the algorithm if you don't know what inputs to give it!

"A “Skynet” Unified Tactical Management system allows up to four Uran-9s to network together, either spread out up to four miles apart or strung together in a column formation. The robo-tanks do have some limited autonomous capabilities if they lose their signal—particularly for maneuvering around obstacles when moving along pre-programmed paths. Some sources claim the Uran-9 may also be able to detect, identify and engage enemy forces without manual human direction".

Sounds like sci-fi if these work as advertised, but apparently they fall a bit short still. Here is a video of the system in operation:

Not sure if I can add some info that helps, but looking at the footage, I'm seeing trajectory coming from west, even south west, it's big, 5-6 m, travelling around 1200 m/s - so, mach 3-4 (based on 25fps), angle (in the actual image from cctv footage) starts at 39 degrees and dips further down to 43 degrees (in my crude analysis 90deg would be straight down), I guess that sounds like a Buk then, but I'd love anyones feedback. Will add tho, that even if this was a stray from Ukrane's forces, there are russian missles just sitting around in the streets, so they're not exactly being precise with their targeting, I'm just interested in knowing what is exactly the truth, don't care so much the implications in short term, as op said all noise for a long time, but figuring it out helps interpret what you see in the news.

Edit: Oh, assuming we all know location - NE of Sikorsky Int Airport, next to novus supermarket.

You're right ofc. From my perception of the US it seems it takes a long time to cancel things (which is probably a good thing). So it's more likely they do it on a country basis as you described and not drop those channels globally.

The idea is the second party does not modify the source, they merely prevent the link from reaching the end user. Since the second party isn't bound by that clause at all, there's no way this could constitute a violation per se.
Well, mosquitos are a natural part of ecology on the planet. They've been around for long before humans. As with most other animals, mosquitos are predator to other living organisms, and that helps to keep the prey population in balance. Humans are part of their prey, and they're evolutionarily good at scenting humans out. Nobody questions our ability to wipe out human "predators" like mosquitoes, just that there is obviously a cascading ecological effect since it's not just humans they go after.

I hope you mean this in the manner that usually we _don't_ target Intel chips, and instead target the x86_64 ISA.

Sure, it's possible to target JS, but in the general-case it's wildly inefficient, and requires mental gymnastics compared to something like WASM. This is likely why people are bothering with WASM at all, rather than accepting JS as "the browser's machine code."

Ohh, I've seen this a lot. Huset, systembolaget, etc. That makes sense.
Maybe companies are afraid of handing too much bargaining power to the employee: 20hr weeks basically mean you can get a whole second 20hr job. After a while of truly getting to know both jobs, you will likely leave the worse one. You could do this iteratively. (Use the 20hrs that you just freed up to find yet another job, then quit the worse one again; rinse and repeat until you have a truly great job).

This would be a situation akin to what an economist talks about, when they talk about perfectly competitive markets (driving profits down to zero/"normal" levels).

What we have now, with the market offering almost exclusively fulltime jobs, is actually markedly different: Whenever you switch jobs, you're, to some extent, buying a cat in a sack, taking a risk that the new job will end up being worse than the previous one. The risk is a barrier to entry, akin to what an economist talks about in connection with limit pricing. Here a market incumbent can charge a premium over a perfectly competitive price, because a would-be market entrant cannot sustain enough profit on the perfectly competitive price to also pay back his initial investment of market entry.

Or another point, based on a thought experiment: Say you are staffing a company purely with 20hr employees who are using the other 20hrs to have a go at starting their own businesses. Assume, further, that the personal fulfillment of having a successful business of your own is something you can never hope to match for your employees, so that everyone who is successful will leave. Your company is now staffed exclusively with employees who are bad at entrepreneurship. -- This is vastly oversimplifying of course, as you can just fail at building a company by being unlucky rather than intrinsically "bad", but you can see how it acts as some kind of a negative selection effect that works against the company offering the 20hr deal.
You have to pay for capital depreciation of unused capital. Money does not depreciate except via inflation. So people will tear dismantle the factory and trade it in for something that does not depreciate ie money.

We end up richer on paper and poorer in reality.

Volume 1 Marx would say that the unused capital still represents a source of exploitation. Volume 2 Marx and beyond would say that the problem lies in the circulatory sphere and that it is the money capitalist that is threatening the productive capitalists.
The Grayzone recently did an interesting interview with Sakwa.
Apple does not allow to use their SDK on non-Apple hardware. So if you need to use MacOS headers and libraries, the hardware where the compiler runs must be from Apple. Apple has no problem if you run Linux on that and cross-compile from it to Mac.

At work we could not for that reason use the same compilation server setup to cross-compile for Linux, MacOS, Windows and ended up with a separated MacPro box for the compilation farm.

EDIT: cross-compilation from Windows works after one gets Windows SDK and Visual Studio libraries (the later is not free, but free alternatives often are sufficient). The biggest headache is that Windows headers assume a case-insensitive file system and includes, for example, windows.h when the file is Windows.h. One can either use case-insensitive mount option for ext4 or symlink relevant files to the proper case.

It has never been discussed widely in the media, but in the same manner Russia can argue that people in Donbass have been killed for 8 years by Ukraine. Isn't that the same kind of justification to military intervention?
Yes. OpenBSD famously has an official policy of not providing binary compatibility. You can always break userspace for the benefits of code quality and safety. ABI has changed? No big deal, just recompile. Furthermore, since OpenBSD is an entire operating system, not just a kernel, the project has power to apply technical decisions to userspace, so you have more control to do that at will.
You'd get out faster than in most other circumstances?

In an office, one is typically on some crazy floor and can't use the elevator. Home, perhaps one is asleep in one's pyjamas.

Some very popular CAD software already works this way (Autodesk Fusion 360 and OnShape, possibly others). The people with money to spend on such things tend to have good network connectivity.
You cannot have all information, and trying to analyze things too far and “fairly” leads to paralysis by analysis. In software, but also in real life. Russia knows that the West is prone to that, so it’s been used in their propaganda for 50+ years. Interestingly, their propaganda has degraded in quality lately.

Sometimes you have to pick a side. I choose the West and democracy (yes I know it’s very much imperfect). It’s up to you which side you’re on. But remember that inaction in the face of aggression is helping the aggressor, and paralysis by analysis is inaction.

Maybe it sounds harsh, but people around me are talking about going to Ukraine to fight. For our principles and for Ukraine. For democracy.

To elaborate a bit, there was a shooting at the airport on the 24th, but Antonov the company confirmed that the plane was in good condition: https://twitter.com/AntonovCompany/status/149732108560330752...

Fighting continued (it's in a hotly contested airport just north of Kyiv), and then yesterday the company released another update that said:

> Currently, until the AN-225 has been inspected by experts, we cannot report on the technical condition of the aircraft.

> Overreliance on JS is an architectural flaw, not a cost-saving measure.

While i (somewhat) agree, i don't think that this is a charitable take.

Relying on heavy JS libraries with a large attack surface would be an architectural flaw. Using JS for your front end is your architecture. Probably not a choice that you approve of, however one that they've made nonetheless.

Of course, one can talk of a possible middle ground in the form of interesting projects like LibreJS, but those haven't exactly gained much popularity either, unfortunately: https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/

Sadly the people who actually turn off JS and the reasons for doing this (as well as any sort of developer advocacy) are the minority [1][2] and therefore are largely irrelevant and unheard, even if the arguments are sometimes pretty sound (especially things like battery usage).

That position has largely lost out and i guess most of us now just need to deal with the consequences of it in our daily lives where using JS frameworks can also just be easier, but even if it isn't (e.g. React and Redux), then we just have to bite the bullet and deal with it.

Belarus referendum approves proposal to renounce non-nuclear status
Having worked with contractors, part time contractors only work if they’re working on actionable tasks and don’t require much creativity. Well documented issues which require a well defined set of changes in code.
Shutting down nuclear power plants affects electricity, if memory serves well Russian gas is used mainly for heating. The USSR delivered said gas reliably all the time during the Cold War. And Germany built a LPG terminal at the North Sea for US fracking gas. Guess why the current and last US administration was so oppossed to North Stream 2?
Gucci and Prada are clearly strategic resources that must have their exports blocked asap. Doing so hurts Russian oligarchs more than anything - it makes their wives and daughters (and mistresses) unhappy, and they the oligarchs will not be allowewed to rest until imports are restored....

It may exist somewhere (especially in France, if I'm not mistaken), but it doesn't exist in all of our (I'm European) houses. Good thing that spring is coming but I don't see our houses getting converted to electric heating till next winter comes. Or maybe the hope is that Putin will fall by then or that a nuclear winter will make all these concerns obsolete, anyway.

semantics, point is taxes should be harsh to disincentivize buying/holding housing as an investment than residence. Which governing body should do it is not the point. Let me bid 150% on all 50 units of housing this year but no problem, I'll just rent it at 200% more so that will cover the increased mortgage payments, as long as I can hold it for the next 10 years, and given govt has decided inflation is always a good thing prices will definitely 2x in a decade. It's a fail-safe strategy to get rich while partaking in vicious decentralized grand scheme that robs the poorest.

Imagine a city with 1000 families and 1000 housing units, investors come in bid against each other, buy up all properties at inflated prices then rent it out at inflated rent. Now all 1000 population is paying 50% of salary in rent, banks are richer, investors also make few bucks along the way. People who actually live on the land and work, end up as biggest losers. Sure their house prices also appreciated, but they can't sell house they live in? If they do sell where would they move? prices have increased everywhere else too?

The population isn't growing fast enough or housing supplying isn't short enough to cause such inflation adjusted increase in value as we have seen in last 10 years. It's all driven by 'investors' retail and institutional. Why worry about the cost when it can be offloaded to renters? What are the renters gonna do? Leave? Go where? it's same story in every city! This has detrimental effect on health, education, mental well being, economic prosperity, quality of life, economic mobility, and everything that is affected by money... like the entire economy.

I don't feel bad, I just wanted to make it clear that I wasn't trying to claim some kind of priority.

But this isn't really just a question of "bright lighting", which of course occurs outdoors all the time, anywhere someone is doing arc welding, in any steel mill, etc. It's a more complex proposition: "Possibly seasonal affective disorder is due in significant part to the fact that indoor lighting is almost always orders of magnitude dimmer than sunlight. Possibly indoor lighting is so dim in part because providing sunlight-class lighting with Edison's incandescent lights would be punishingly expensive and require data-center-style massive air conditioning. However, modern high-efficiency LEDs and even fluorescent tubes bring sunlight-class lighting within practical reach of everyday people."

Still, this is hardly a brilliantly original idea on my part, so it's not surprising that the same idea occurred to Eliezer. I was pleased to see that he tried it for his wife's SAD and that it worked.
