> NATO has been training the Ukrainians for eight years because of the risks.

Feels a bit like a chicken or egg question. I'm still undecided though, as Russia was funding the green anti nuclear movements in Germany way back when Fukushima happened.

Fwiw, I don't think that renewables plus batteries are a safe hedge anyways. We're simply offshoring the environmental externalities to places far away in terms of energy storage, and China holds all the cards in this instance.
4K vs. 5K Displays
The year Germany reaches ~100% renewable energy for electricity, will also be the year they install the most renewable capacity in history. It is very unlikely that the year after will see 0 renewable capacity installed. Instead, prices will start to fall steadily, dramatically accelerating the electrification of remaining sectors.

Remember that both wind and solar follow very predictably cost-reduction curves. Starting a few years before 2030, electricity consumers will start to see reduced energy bills because of this.
Chomsky also didn’t mention that USAID and National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funded the coup in 2014. But this is a very short interview, so he can’t go into detail about every time the US has undermined democracy.
Looked at both Debian and Redhat.
It's mentally taxing to decode amplified speech without the full spectrum of sound, in my experience. Especially with typical cheap devices, and especially when the audio itself isn't all that clear. Tinny, echo-y, scratchy, background noise. In a noisy auditorium, I get a headache pretty quickly with my hearing aids in. People get headaches with hours of phone calls. Common complaint of call centre workers before the pandemic. Zoom fatigue seems to be a similar phenomenon to me. Though you can add jittery lag and poor visual resolution, so the lips are sometimes out of sync with the audio or not distinct, which is also taxing.
Yes definitely! Being more of a sandbox game offering different play styles I always gave it a go when I upgraded my PC.
I would love to see startups adopt a "poison pill" clause that automatically switches their code over to the MIT license the moment a company goes under.

The bigger risk however isn't just that a company goes poof, but that the IP gets purchased for pennies on the dollar by some other company. This is an escape hatch that I don't think many investors would give up willingly.
specifically, it sounds to me like ATI/AMD's rather-notoriously-poor OpenGL performance in action... another way to rephrase OP to take the emphasis off hardware generation (which makes no sense) would be "when I switched from NVIDIA to ATI I lost 40% of my performance"... which is still an experience many people have today with OpenGL on the AMD cards.
Kuiper Finds Its Workhorses
Because any investigative firm would first look at the very small set of insiders first, and it's harder than one would think to truly hide their tracks, especially since this was a traditional infra attack and not just an on-chain smart contract hack.

The fact that the FBI was able to recover the Colonial Pipeline hack funds from the hacker Bitcoin wallet, something that should have been theoretically almost impossible, basically told me that if you steal enough money for the feds to get interested, you better be in a country where they can't get to you.
for open sourcing you have to be careful about licenses.

As long as you are not "distributing" it is absolutely fine to mix GPLv2, Apache License and proprietary code you got from some vendor all together. But as soon as you distribute this, it becomes messy.

And then come all the question on technical integrations, ego ("ugly code!!"), ...
Sure, but 90% of software doesn't need to be cloud based and with docker and k8s it would be hard to distribute an app like friday for users to self host. AWS and GCP could be a cloud app platform where each enterprise could run all of their apps on a single cluster instead of paying for 20 different SaaS offerings running on different clusters.

"Yeah, our app has a full database, plate and facial recognition, geolocation, everything. We're on around 10 million devices in the state right now"

"Oh completely trivial, we'll just add a field to the schema and another ui element..."
> It implies that nobody at Intel can describe a modern processor very well.

This seems like a bit of a stretch, given that Intel had a lead in CPU power for years and is still quite close to AMD.
Those are also known as ads. I frequently see repeatedly shows I have no interest in(actually negative interest, in that I would be better of not knowing about them). I see stuff that I don't like, I see stuff that pushes or attempts to push buttons, it's a constant annoyance. Apple tv doesn't do this, alternative launches don't do this. They are ads, they don't have the next thing you are mostly likely to watch but rather whatever show they are trying to push at the moment without any ability to change this. I would be really surprised if this isn't directly monetized(though it is indirectly monetized).
Resize and enhance old photos with GFPGAN on Windows via WSL2)
For sure. It costs when you put it in. It costs in maintenance (or in working around unmaintainable systems). And then it costs to take it out again.

I was brought in on a cleanup job a few years back and discovered that key parts of their infrastructure went through a system nobody understood and were scared to touch. It was using Docker, but for no obvious reason, and it was version-locked to a very specific release in the 0.9 series.

After some archaeology, I found the original commits. They were from an engineer who wasn't there long. On a hunch, I googled him. I found a video of a conference talk on Docker where he exaggerated the scope and value of what he had done. So I ripped it out again, making the system simpler, more reliable, and less scary for the staff.
Well, almost all reasons to enforce the speed limit (playing kids, pedestrians) have been eliminated over the years. But increasing the speed limit now will probably not reduce speeding, since residential roads in the US are way overbuilt.

Speeding is probably one of the reasons why there are almost no pedestrians and kids on suburban streets now.
> Americans adore the idea that just because it wasnt written down, it somehow holds no value to the parties involved.

Yeah, pretty much all of the world recognizes that there is a pretty big difference, especially as to applicability several decades later, between different governments (one one side not even of the same entity, but instead the entity that was a leader among those overthrowing the one directly involved in the initial conversation) between something one official said to another in the course of negotiation and a signed and ratified treaty.

(Not that even a signed and ratified treaty between Russia and every single member of NATO in 1989 being violated would be, under international law, a justification for invasion of Ukraine—who is not in any version of any story a party, except perhaps as co-inheritor of Soviet interests, to the alleged commitment—in violation of the UN Charter and, in the case of the original 2014 invasion, Russia’s treaty obligations to Ukraine, and not that even if there was a legal justification for the invasion it would justified Russia’s rampant war crimes during the invasion.)
Any system that is predicated on "one X per person" needs to ensure that a single human can't synthesize multiple "persons" in order to get more than one X and cheat the system.

Systems like this include:

* Democracy: One vote per person.

* Universal basic income: One income voucher per person.

* Some sales: One coupon per person, or one purchase per person.

* Many resource usage licenses: Can only catch one salmon on this river per person, etc.

Basically, it's good to have systems that are fair and equitable and in many cases, a way to do that is to distribute the good uniformly to people. That requires you to accurately determine how much each person gets, which requires a reliable notion of person.

At the same time, I think Worldcoin is complete nonsense. Almost all of the above systems function much better when scoped to a smaller regulatory authority that already has an existing reliable notion of person: passport, driver's license number, etc.
This just means that sufficiently wealthy and powerful people will have advanced image faking technology, and their fakes will be seen as more credible because creating fakes like that "isn't possible" for mere mortals.
Great replies. Related: the Great Resignation has created the equivalent of the economics post-Black-Death where those that remain are far more empowered by their smaller numbers and can demand higher pay. Restaurants aren't willing to pay so they have a shortage. Increase pay and the problem will eventually go away.

Choose two. Try to mix them.

Always be curious. But realise you only have so much time alive.
Is the chicken or egg first? Are companies constantly changing to hip new stacks to attract talent, or are developers constantly scrambling to gain experience on hip new stacks in order to be employable by companies who are constantly changing to hip new stacks?

Developers complain "I need to learn NewTech because OldTech is old and no cool company uses it anymore." And hiring managers complain "We need to move from OldTech to NewTech because we can't find developers interested in OldTech anymore."
Lot of assumptions here on measurements which really make this laughable. You need the following to make the measurement have any sort of validity:

Assuming simple s = d/t

1. The wheelbase data source is accurate. (d)

2. The vehicle type identification is accurate (d)

3. The centre of the wheels is identified correctly (d)

4. The wheels being on the same vehicle are identified correctly (d)

5. The measurement resolution is limited by pixel resolution so the image needs to be large enough to not lead to quantization errors (d + t)

6. The direction of travel of the vehicle is accurately determined (rate of motion is different if car moving away) (d)

7. The rotation of the vehicle is accurately measured (wheelbase compressed if turning away from the camera) (d)

8. The phone's camera is digitizing frames at the same rate without jitter (t)

9. The video source is actually coming from an actual camera and has not been modified by the user to incriminate them (d+t)

10. The camera isn't being moved in sympathy with the reference frame (d+t)

11. The reference frame is identified correctly (d+t)

12. the correct set of wheels on the vehicle are identified (d)

13. The shape of the lens of the camera (wide angle lens distortion) (d+t - possible calculus fun there)

I'd take the other arguments apart but I don't think I need to.

Edit: keep finding more problems with this.
>We are talking about speeding drivers here.

And? "Speeding" as is experienced in the life of the daily American is a joke. Tens, if not 100+ million Americans "Speed" every day.

Remember that speeding is just 1 MPH over the limit, and that limits are set to unrealistically low levels all over the country for purposes ranging from revenue generation to empowering racial discrimination.
Step 1: Notice that you're anxious. Personally, I find that when I have that feeling of restlessness, it's because I'm avoiding thinking about it/avoiding my feelings.

Step 2: Acknowledge that you're anxious, without judgement. It's perfectly fine to be anxious; it's normal. Notice it and make space for it. I literally say in my head "I'm anxious about going to the dentist." It sounds silly, but it helps.

Step 3: Pinpoint EXACTLY what it is that makes you anxious. For me, the part about the dentist that makes me anxious is when they clean my teeth and poke me in the gums, and it hurts. (Also, I try to do the same thing if I'm procrastinating: EXACTLY what is it that I don't want to do?) Identify the thing and give it a name so describe it. It may be helpful to say this out loud.

Repeat steps 1-3 multiple times until you're more comfortable with the situation.

Step 4: Figure out if there's something you can do to make the root cause of your anxiety easier. When I go to the dentist, I'm upfront and tell them that I get anxious, and I ask them to play music to distract me. They're happy to do that, and it helps. As another example, if I'm anxious about traveling to a new place, I look it up on Google Maps or Yelp ahead of time. That helps me.
How do you keep this synchronized between devices? I had tried this with a git repo but pull/pushing before/after jotting down a note on my phone got tedious.
All the while telling us peons how important it is to embrace refugees.
Right, so when Iraq was invaded by:

USA, UK, Australia, Poland, Netherlands, Italy and Spain (and Turkey threatened to invade in 2007 too), the fact they are all members of NATO is just coincidence, it is not NATO piling up on a single country.

Or Afghanistan:

US, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, Italy, New Zealand

or Libya, france gave them weapons first, and invited the rest of NATO, that responded:

Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Spain, Turkey, USA, UK.

NATO can claim to be defensive and only about article 5, but the fact remains NATO will happily use their forces offensively and working in a cohesive group. You can't just say it isn't NATO because NATO is supposed to be defensive.
Great point. When I saw the shadows and reflections, I thought it had developed a primitive understanding of physical logic. Now I'm not so sure.

At this point, it still seems like it's pushing pixels around until it's "good enough" when you squint at it.
>We've been working on an edit button since last year

Does it really take over 4 months to make an edit button?
The last part of your comment is pretty ironic. You realize that a UN resolution has absolutely nothing to do with NATO being a defensive alliance? It does not matter if they were "mandated" to attack a country that did not attack them first, it is still by definition agression. A defensive alliance would imply a reaction to an attack on your alliance, not on anything else.

If NATO only needs whatever vote it deems necessary to attack a completely uninvolved country because of a completely internal conflict, you realize that literally proves that it is not the type of neighbor you want to have?

What a completely self defeating argument lol. And that's ignoring the totally defensive strikes against serbia. Which for the record I personally think were justified, but supporting an intervention does not mean the intervention suddenly becomes defensive.
Apple Pay is the payment conduit and Apple Cash is a store of value you can use with it.
I know a project where management mandated a super-scalable key-value store, and the total amount of data will neber exceed 4 Mb (yes, simple megabytes).
Haha, thanks for your "concern". Spread over some 20-30 otherwise healthy active years, seems par for the course.

>>>Russia invaded Georgia too, lest we forget.

I notice many users on HN start their "history of Russia" with the invasion of Georgia in 2008....but Russia has been led by Putin since 1999. We might have short memories due to our governments changing every 4 years...but this country has been run by the same man for 23 years. And I'm sure he has a long memory. So what were the key events from 1999-2007 that could have shaped Putin's perspective regarding relations with the US, to the point that he felt invading Georgia (and all other hostility since) was the correct long-term strategy? That didn't happen in a vacuum. I leave researching this as an exercise for the reader (hint: you can dig through some of my older comments as I've covered it a few times...)
Yes that's exactly right. My library isn't doing anything super smart (just statistics 101) but if you have to do some awkward heuristic in your code (to "eyeball" some approximate parameters) it's better to just supply some input/output examples as part of your code (which GoodGuesser autogenerates) then just have a computer approximate the ideal parameters using multiple linear regressions. That will be a lot easier to maintain than some sort of hacky heuristic.

Plus, once you've refactored your logic as input/output pairs, It'll be easier in the future to do fancier stuff with your code if you want (deep neural nets, etc)
Things that require understanding of causation will be safe longer. Progress like this is driven by massive datasets. Meanwhile, real world action-taking applications require different paradigms to take causation into account[0][1], and especially to learn safely (e.g. learning to drive without crashing during the beginner stages).

There's certainly research happening around this, and RL in games is a great test bed, but people choosing actions will safe from automation longer than people not choosing actions, if that makes sense. It's the person who decides "hire this person" vs the person who decides "I'll use this particular shade of gray."

[0] The best example is when X causes Y and X also causes Z, but your data only includes Y and Z. Without actually manipulating Y, you can't see that Y doesn't cause Z, even if it's a strong predictor.

[1] Another example is the datasets. You need two different labels depending on what happens if you take action A or B, which you can't have simultaneously outside of simulations.

A defensive alliance is what it says on the tin. If you want to take umbrage with the aggressions of any individual country, by all means do so. But don't turn NATO into your own personal bogeyman because one of its members did a thing you didn't like irrelevant to the mandate of the alliance. That's a bad faith argument.

If I make a promise that I won't punch you and you go punch someone else, that doesn't reflect on my promise not to punch you.

If that aircraft carrier was acting under NATO's auspices it is absolutely relevant to the argument. If it wasn't then it is a strawman and should be called out.

Developers like to try new things.

People generally don't want to pay for things / fund things themselves.

For now on the internet this is the way, and IMO we as the users of the internet are somewhat the cause too.
The solution to 99% of problems is conscientiousness and competency.

Technology and provide some game changing opportunities - such as for example access to information, access to basic banking, maybe a couple of vaccines can re-shape a region ...

... but generally speaking there will never be a substitute to social organization at all levels.

If people are corrupt and incompetent, they will have nothing.

If everyone from the barber to the president act diligently and thoughtfully, for the most part, most social malaise would disappear.

Many poor countries have ample natural resources with which to provide a foundation for a base economy, funny that places like Japan, Singapore, Germany etc. are able to provide very high standard of living without much in the way of 'free money in the ground' ...

>Money you didn't make is not the same as money you spent. For starters, the former is infinite!

Cost is short for opportunity cost. If you have a high probability of earning 200K EUR as your second best option, then what you choose to do does incur that cost.

Young people not accounting for their costs properly is an especially big problem in the US when they decide to spend time in their valuable 20s going deep into debt pursuing higher education with low probabilities of ending up with high pay (assuming their goal is high pay and/or some sort of financial security). They should be adding up all the lost pay and compounded returns from their savings, because their eventual pay needs to be sufficiently high to make up for it.

And it is not just money. Opportunity cost also includes quality of life, for example, slaving away the best years of your life working for someone else (or one's self) should have an acceptable probability of netting you something commensurate to the sacrifice.
Metaphors have value. Is magic a good metaphor? It doesn't imply metaprogramming specifically to me, but it implies that the computer figures something out without seemingly being told how, which gives me quite a bit of information. Otoh, one man's boring code is another man's magic, so it's relative. But so is "performant", "simple" etc. Those are certainly useful terms, but they rely on context.

There are worse sins in programming jargon; like when you overuse technical terms so much that you lose the "point" of what it's supposed to do. Another one is using heavily overloaded abstract terms without explaining which variant you're thinking of. If you say "service" without context, I will come after you :)
