I was going to say it fired a slug through a cylindrical piece of material, but decided to verify this on Wikipedia. It turns out:

>> For the first fifty years after 1945, every published description and drawing of the Little Boy mechanism assumed that a small, solid projectile was fired into the center of a larger, stationary target.[31] However, critical mass considerations dictated that in Little Boy the larger, hollow piece would be the projectile.

I had never heard this before and was in denial reading the part above that. So either this key detail was kept secret for 50 years, or somehow history has been changed to confuse would-be bomb makers. I wonder how this detail came to light.

Edit: Following the reference is was this guy:

> Sure, until an American president decides to ban

Well, that is what the court system, and the supreme court is for.

The court system puts very strong restrictions on what the government is able to do, regarding speech.

Sure, maybe a president would want to do something. And the courts, which have a very established history of protecting speech rights would stop them.

A better solution, though, would be to make a new law that requires twitter to follow similar standards as the government has to follow, in the same way how we put strong restrictions on what telephone companies are allowed to do

(So don't give me any objections about how such laws would be illegal, when we already have them! Use our phone laws as the model, to do something similar, if not exact the same).
“highly resistant if not immune to human-targeted biological threats,”

This seems a tall claim. I would have liked to see details on this.

"At least 20 of those [BSL4] labs have been built in the last decade, and more than 75 percent are located in urban centers where a lab escape could quickly spread."

This seems so stupid to me. Perhaps the designers' hubris plays a role? Frankly, if I were designing it I would want as much defense in depth as I could get in case the design or procedures failed. Placing it in a large urban area seems like a common sense no-no. Put it in the damn desert, where there are few potential hosts and the environment is inhospitable to many of the pathogens.
I don't live in France and don't follow their politics.....

Do you believe that Twitter's Terms of Service have an ideological bent?

Do you believe that Twitter's Terms of Service are being applied when they shouldn't against conservative politicians in France?

Do you believe that Twitter's Terms of Service are only used against Conservative politicians - and do you have examples of Tweets that were actioned for conservatives and counterexamples that were not actioned for liberal politicians?
1. Electric vehicles are not mainstream.

2. Tesla accounts for ~14% of EVs sold.

3. Passenger vehicles account for less than 7% of total CO2 emissions globally.
Cyberpunk 2077 receives too much grief for its rejection of the mainstream state of affairs, making it quite punk. IMHO.

The crux of the story, the full arc and conclusion of your character, is that you are a nobody who seeks to become an influencer, comes to believe that you have a big role to play in world events, but ultimately even your greatest possible achievements amount to being either inconsequential or the result of manipulations of ever more powerful forces. You start a nobody, and you die a nobody. The game's NPCs spend a fair amount of time reflecting on valuing the relationships of the present and honoring the memory of those lost; even throughout the side quests. (One of my favourites involving a misunderstanding arising from seeking to be accepted and pursuing plastic surgery, only to discover that the partner loves who they are and not what they look like).

And yes, there are the pervasive themes of the commodification of the human body, the objectification of not only the physical but the emotional experience as well. Human limbs are bought and sold, whole body replacements are common, memories are recorded and shared, a recording of the end of life is itself a hot commodity.

The game is thick with themes that condemn our indifferent, plastic and superficial culture.

This is why I would never trust a hosted web app to do something like this. I fully expect my house to last much longer than any such company. I’d want an app I run on my computer with data that I can export to something time lasting like CSV/PDF/etc.
To be fair, this is one of those situations where the school itself would find itself the next victim of the mob if they didn't side with it. It's just the way cancel culture works.

In South Africa, my father had a private plane we’d fly in incredibly dangerous weather and barely make it back. This is going to sound slightly crazy, but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia. I was 15 and really wanted to go with him but didn’t realize how dangerous it was. I couldn’t find my passport so I ended up grabbing my brother’s – which turned out to be six months overdue! So we had this planeload of contraband and an overdue passport from another person. There were AK-47s all over the place and I’m thinking, “Man, this could really go bad.”

unless you know recruiters personally and have more than an anecdotal example or policy to share, that specific targeting, especially in terms of a policy, doesn't happen but yes recruiters will go to the high schools in poor areas.
direnv actually won't run anything until you explicitly allow it to. And if the .env file changes, you have to re-allow direnv to read and execute it.

Seems safe to me
This is going to sound weird... but I really loved my 43P. And now I have a flood of nostalgia about it (and AIX).
What matters the most is the results. In my opinion a
decision like the following is totally reasonable providing
you are looking for people that owns your results to be in
charge:

during a factory visit over issues with the Model X's
window. When a worker on the assembly line proposed a
solution, Musk lit into the worker's manager.

"This is totally unacceptable that you had a person working
in your factory that knows the solution and you don't even
know that," Musk reportedly said before firing the head of
the factory.

I'm of the opinion that a manager's responsible to know issues raised by his subordinates.

Search is the wrong way to look at it. It needs to answer questions, like an oracle.

Anyway, Google is getting less relevant because the technology is getting better than "good enough", and any additional tech that Google adds is not really all that useful. It's like PCs. You don't need a faster one because your old one can do word processing just fine.
This is horribly ironic.

I was violently assaulted after writing the original comment, and raped. This time I fought back, I don't understand the universe. The first time I was violently raped it was 2007 and I was 17, it was an NYPD officer, and I screamed a bit, but eventually just went numb and let it happen. Saturday night I was raped by a cab driver, and I fought for my fucking life and he did not cum.

I feel no guilt for beating the fuck out of him, I am not a moral person, because I am an ethical person. I do what is right in that situation. And right now, I am in a ton of pain, but I do not feel guilty for fighting back, I feel proud and strong. Rape is usually talked about as a women's issue (if you've read KKT,this is a major point), but I am a man, and I have been raped more times than I can count, and I fucking want to talk about it, and I want to fight it. And I think it's perfectly ethical to kill someone who is trying to rape you, and you should feel no guilt.

Freedom for me, not for thee, is the recurring theme in every discussion on censorship. Generally shared by both sides, and generally used as a description of the other side by both sides.

The goal of liberty is freedom under common rules. Rules may exist but it need to apply and enforced equally. The trouble is that no one seems to want to have such rules when they themselves get effected, and so people want to carve out exceptions to common rules in order to return to Freedom for me, not for thee.
I think you're giving them too much credit by saying they're attempting to create their own experience. I don't believe that's the motivation at all. I don't see any reason to believe Verizon wants to improve the dialer or the messaging app in any way. They're building these things as data exfiltration applications. In the case of some of the apps you can't even remove them. It's absolutely disgusting to be honest.
Looks snazzy and I'm sure it's fast, but raising capital to fund a terminal emulator? Making a bunch of network requests on startup without asking? No thanks! I'll stick to open-source terminal emulators like foot, alacritty, gnome-terminal, or a dozen others. I guess I'm not the target market.
So, what does it mean for consciousness to be continuous? Is some brain activity enough, even if you're completely unconscious (i.e. anesthesia)? For that matter, if it wasn't continuous, would the current "you" be able to tell?

For that matter, if continuity of consciousness in general were an illusion, would the "you" at any given moment be able to tell? I guess the only reason it matters is that if there's no such thing as continuity, then nothing is lost upon upload (or death, really).
Yes, that's why I explicitly mentioned this:

> And the only thing preventing that from happening is the suggestion of "oh be sure to eyeball the .envrc file and make sure it looks ok, then run this command to enable it". People will just google for the first "how to I unblock .envrc file" and blindly run the command, then oops. Or a determined attacker will just obfuscate what they're doing so the .envrc looks fine but you failed to realize some esoteric bash-isms were actually invoking an obfuscated script and... oops.

You need to be absolutely sure you've read and understand every single line in the .envrc file, and every single line in any script it may be invoking, before you run direnv allow. Otherwise you are giving code from the internet a blank check to do anything on your machine with your user account.

I personally do not think bash/shell is a sensible language to trust that you can quickly or easily determine from a visual check alone if a script might be doing nefarious things.

I'm sorry but you can't argue that you are free of ideology by quoting Thomas Sowell and Jordan Peterson. That's very funny.

Thomas Sowell is a fiscal conservative whose ideology boils down to "individual decisions are primarily responsible for divergent outcomes". Jordan Peterson is a Christian conservative, all his advice might as well be Bible citations. He also knows nothing except ideological positions when it comes to criticising the left wing; he loves the term "postmodern neomarxist" despite those terms being completely contradictory.
A terminal that requires me to log in. No thnx. Uninstalled.
People are so obsessed with that detail. Elon and JB wanted to start their own company and they had the money.

Tesla had no money and was going nowhere without Musk.

Instead of creating his own company he agree to join forces and basically fund Tesla.

Seems like not just starting a competitor was the nice thing to do. As doing so would have 100% doomed Tesla.

Tangentially, I find the generational aspect of that line fun. Depending on how old the person you're talking to is, this will mean (as originally meant) a gray/staticy color, or a searingly vivid blue, (or, I guess, something else like a graphical "no signal found" screen in the most modern interpretations).

Twitter is a psychological hell-hole that like all social media preys upon the absolute worst of humanity in a perpetual negative feedback loop to generate advertising dollars to sustain itself

It's hard to imagine that they would "blink". The ISS is important, but nowhere near as important as Ukrainian lives -- and the perceived containment of a violent threat. I doubt anybody in the US government gave even a moment's consideration to it.

The ISS has been coming to end-of-life for a while. If Russia said that they would destroy it tomorrow, the prime concern would be getting astronauts home safely. Beyond that it would be just one thing added to the pile of Russian betrayals and violations.

What about them, exactly?

https://www.osce.org/special-monitoring-mission-to-ukraine/5...

There was a major decrease in ceasefire violations in 2020 and 2021. Looks like to Russia that sounded like it's time to escalate and fix "the problem" whatever that is, by starting a major war and invading straight to Kyiv of all places. I'm sure poor people of Donbas will benefit greatly from a major escalation caused by Russia, that's going to reverse all this. Whole year of reported civilian casualties by OSCE now happen in a day.

> The Ukrainian people through their government agreed to the Minsk accords which would have prevented this but were then never honored.

Why OSCE SMM observations of agreement violating weapons are consistenly much higher in the separatist areas, by a large margin? (80/20 or so)
OK, so the recommendation engine is liberal?

I don't know how the recommendation engine works, but Barack Obama is the most followed account on twitter I think, so can see how they'd suggest that...

But if the recommendation engine is anything like their recommended tweets, I think they intentionally show you the other side always. I see tons of garbage view points that I don't agree with almost exclusively when I view a tweet. Without knowing anything about your tracking cookies and however else they 'enrich' what they know about you, it's tough to say why you got the recommendations you did. If you signed up based on a tweet from a democrat so you could engage by telling them they're wrong, maybe they assumed you like other democrats.

If your complaint is that Twitter is an outrage inducing platform by design, I would absolutely agree. But that isn't an ideological bent. It just wants you to engage, and the fastest and easiest method is to make you mad.
Problames long solved before, but problems that don't matter to the javascript crowd.. I think they actually love that things take so long. It makes them thing they're doing important work.. "We're compiling and initting"
Given that we're talking about people like Éric Zemmour who are mainstream candidates in French Conservative politics now despite being literally convicted for inciting racial hatred several times that says more about the state of French politics than it says about Twitter's moderation policies.

That's a general theme with these 'I got banned, how overly sensitive!' stories. 95% of the time you don't need to scroll long until you find some genuinely vile stuff. I honestly cannot figure out how anyone who behaves even half-civilized ends up being banned by any of these platforms, it's kind of wild how much garbage you can post.

> Content moderation is de facto censorship.

It simply is not. And the proof is that you can see in this very thread a bunch of flagged, dead comments that are still visible, still citable, and (importantly) whose posters are not guilty of crimes for their creation.

I'm sorry, but no. Difficulty of finding information is not the same thing as censorship. And we have to stop pretending that it is.

IIRC, the Cyberpunk RPG is explicitly all about the aesthetic. I find it obnoxious personally, but on some level I respect that it knows what it wants to be and is that. I do think it's a certain strain of punk, but a different one than the more politically-minded Gibson punk.

I suspect you could combine the "vaguely Japanese inspired retrofuturistic aesthetics" with a more modern political critique. To some extent, I feel like the original Deus Ex game is still relevant as it tangles with the corruption of power and how technology enables that process, which is more relevant than ever.
I take your point--that the choice to stop smothering people in woke content is itself a political decision (for sufficiently abstract notion of "political"), but it seems infinitely better than smothering people in any particular ideological content at all. The woke people can still opt into their own filter bubbles without their ideology being foisted on everyone.

Great callouts, I definitely get your concern around block sharing--that feature does exist currently in Warp but it is completely opt in on a per command basis (we never collect any command output without the user opting into it first). The way this works is that if you explicitly click "Share" by right clicking on a block, we will send the contents to our server and generate a link for you. A block can also be unshared at any point to completely delete a block from our server.

Regarding the cross-platform piece, the plan is absolutely to support different platforms. In fact we've built our own cross-platform UI framework to help us with this endeavor which you can read about here: https://www.warp.dev/blog/how-warp-works. We chose Metal to start because the Metal debugging tools in Xcode are excellent, allowing us to inspect texture resources and easily measure important metrics like frame rate and GPU memory size. Thankfully, because our graphics code is decoupled from our UI framework, porting the graphics piece of the UI framework essentially mounts to porting over a few hundred lines of shader code, which shouldn't be too difficult.
