This is a strange article. It says some of the "quiet parts" out loud, but I don't know if that's intentional.

It centers around a American (retired) military expert who is fighting on behalf of the Ukrainians:

The 35-year-old Iowan, who did tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, is one of hundreds of foreign volunteers who enlisted with Ukraine’s foreign legion immediately after Russia invaded. He says he did so to “support democracy.” ... O’Leary was in combat for a month without much pause;

It describes other professionally trained Americans slaughtering Russian "kids":

O’Leary does express some professional pity at the hopelessness of some of the Russian conscripts he’s been fighting. “They don’t know what they are doing,” he says. “Some of them are just kids and they have only been training for a few months. You can’t teach anybody anything in that short time. Our sniper, another American, shot one guy in the chest. He dropped and bled out. Another Russian tried to grab his gear. We shot him. The next day they took over a building about 200 meters from us and started shooting and we shot back with a rocket targeting the top story, and they all started running from the building. It was a turkey shoot. We just unloaded on them.

And it strongly hints that the Americans are committing war crimes of their own:

“We captured seven Russian soldiers that were left behind; they were hiding in a golf course. I don’t know what happened to them,” he says.

What are the limits to America's role in this war again? We don't directly pay the people who are shooting the Russians, instead we just train them and supply them with weapons and (presumably) continue paying them a pension? Of course this doesn't excuse the Russian invasion, but it seems like it goes quite a way to explaining why the Russians might feel the Americans are the enemies here.

The article doesn't question that the human species will survive:

> This implies that some humans would survive, eventually to repopulate the planet, and that a species-level extinction of Homo sapiens is unlikely even after a full-scale nuclear war. But the vast majority of the human population would suffer extremely unpleasant deaths from burns, radiation and starvation, and human civilization would likely collapse entirely. Survivors would eke out a living on a devastated, barren planet.

Seems like something the customer could have figured out day one. Obviously that is an very important fact in this one sided story.
This remembers me, when many years ago I worked with old chemical photography - used special light to limit parasitic exposure of film and photopaper.

Usually used dark red light, or yellow-green.

And I lived in absolutely typical apartment, and used for photography ordinary bathroom, but switched off normal lights and used special lights, and apartments become looking like them from fantastic films.

So, yes, my first education electronics and I've few times been at real fabs.
At fabs there are two things which don't appear in typical homes - many devices emit ultraviolet and it is extremely powerful, so appear even through covers, or use open electric heaters, which emit red.

Main lights I have seen there, where just ordinary fluorescent lamps, but I sure, on more modern fabs, used special lamps or color filters, to filter out part of spectrum which could cause unnecessary additional dose for photo-chemistry.

About what? What evidence is not being considered?

Or… maybe my zealotry is for objectivity. To not using language as a tool to achieve predetermined outcomes.

So, I noticed you didn’t answer the Question about which ad agency it is Tesla uses. Is this the point where you just abandon all pretense, and avoid having a discussion? Instead choosing to evolve into ad hominem and other rhetorical tricks? That’s usually the pattern here, right. The discussion goes into a direction that you can no longer a fan, so instead of admitting any kind of change of opinion based upon new information - like people who are discussing things in good faith do — they simply resort to short quips that divert from the real conversation and allow them to have the final word.
In Ireland the legislation enabling government restrictions for covid expired, and the government who enacted that legislation have to desire to renew it. So it's not always extended ad infinitum.
I imagine it must feel great to be able to say something like this if you don't live in the region. Some of us don't have such comfort though.
no, it's actually worthwhile. Studies for Germany said that reducing room temperature by 1 degree Celsius mean that 5-6% less gas would be used for that. Households account for like 43%[1] of gas consumption in Germany and within that it's 80% for heating and 20% for water heating; so we're talking about a few percent reduction in overall gas consumption just by heating a little less. German politicans are already asking (politely) that the citizens should do it.

Good point. I'd agree that totp on phone > totp in pw manager > no totp, so using it in some capacity is definitely better than not using it at all.
> Collect articles (both work docs & internet articles) into a reading list

I would read some books too. Actual, "costs money to buy" books. Digital or on paper, as you like.

Look for those that cover your chosen tech stack at "more than beginner" level, and more importantly look for books on Software Engineering. Ask around for classics that are recommended in your field.

It's discussed elsewhere in the thread. Seems like he was requesting specific art styles (at least). So the idea that DALL-E is so smart it could figure out what art style you liked based on the social groups that use particular words was a neat theory but it seems, over-estimating things.
And photoresist is not only UV sensitive, people have success on exposure it with just very powerful halogen lamps, which don't have much UV.

So at fabs, usually, main light is not powerful, or have some color filters.
A general issue is that stable civilian control of the military forces is a somewhat difficult thing to achieve, so if that control is not stable, training the military can substantially increase the risk of military coup. This is why in many countries (e.g. Soviet Union, Russia, China etc.) state security is embedded into the military on all levels. This of course creates new problems.
I'd like to see them import airliners, iPhones or high precision sensors from China.
That isn't how it works. Long term refusal to do it isn't evidence their engineers are incapable of it. Blacklisting sites is trivial. They've always been able to do it and they do it routinely to this day.

The reason those results remain in your searches is because sending people to those sites makes Google money, and by definition that is of greater value to Google than the quality and relevance of your search results as a non-paying user.
By that rational, it would be more relevant to mention the history of western colonialism and regime change both past and present to paint a more comprehensive picture. Including China doesn't really add much.
No, Russia should stop bombing people
Obsidian. It's markdown based, so simple at the base, but you can go wild with plugins ( including latex, graph visualisations, dynamic queries across notes, etc.), and it supports metadata, tags, etc. if you want to. You can sync with anything supporting text files ( Git, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc) or pay a bit for their ens to end encrypted service that works great.
> bash isn't compatible with python either, unless you use #!/usr/bin/python or the like.

You're rather aggressively missing the point.

If you need to write and maintain bash scripts but use fish as your command line, you now need to know the idiosyncrasies of both shells ...
The Swiss can be more relaxed now, because their mixed national composition has been stable for many hundreds of years and if they had once some grudges against each other, the reasons are forgotten by now.

Not so in the territories that are now included in Ukraine. The proportion of the nationalities and their relative wealth has been drastically altered during the last century by Stalin, who moved out many "inferior races", confiscating all their valuable belongings and sending them to much worse places (when not just murdering them), while bringing in Russians to replace them.

The Russians colonists have been privileged in comparison with the natives since the beginning, when many have been installed directly in the houses and on the lands from which the former inhabitants had been evicted.

Not enough time has passed since then, so there are still living people who remember how it was before any Russian was around.

This "badly-divided country" has been created by Stalin less than a century ago. The division is the same as in all the other former parts of the Soviet Union, between the earlier inhabitants of those countries and the Russian colonists who have lost their privileges after the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Hopefully, after some more time, the people could become wiser and reach a model of cohabitation like the Swiss, but as long as not only the Russians have never apologized for their former acts, but they also continue with attempts of military invasions of their neighbors at any opportunity, like they have continuously done for many hundreds of years, the Swiss model remains an illusion for the former Soviet republics.
A lot of doubt being expressed here. Tanis[0] was identified as potentially preserving the moment of the KT impact by 2013, and I believe this identification is now established beyond a doubt. The paper [1] makes the case for it. I've read it (review at the time at [2]), and it's solid, with multiple lines of evidence connecting it to the KT event. Most convincing to me is the tektites found in fish gills: these glass beads are considered a sure marker for the KT boundary, and the fact that they were taken in by fish in large numbers indicates they must have been floating in the water at the time of formation. If you don't trust me, on the authors list are Walter Alvarez, half of the pair that originated the impact hypothesis in the first place, and Jan Smit, another world-leading expert on it.

I'm a bit skeptical of this article, which seems excessively optimistic, since the estimation it does at the very beginning:

> Arms-control treaties limit both nations to 1,550 deployed warheads, although FAS estimates 1,588 for Russia and 1,644 for the US

seems to interpret numbers differently (deployed strategically/readily deployable).

Edit: the two articles complement each other in a very interesting way, for example: navalgazing.net assumes that nuclear weapons would target strategic targets, cornell.edu instead densely populated areas (I think reality would tend towards the first case).

The navalgazing.net article states that the soot research is from 80s/90s, while the reserch referenced by cornell.edu is from 2020 (I think in this specific case, the navalgazing.net is at fault).
This is going to cause fashion to adopt appearances similar to what one sees with a Google Image Search of "makeup illusions". Such makeup causes a human face to be unrecognizable as a human face to FR software. All it will take is such a fashion to catch on, and our world becomes significantly surreal.
Worth mentioning that both w3m and lynx are horribly insecure. Although I guess it’s very unlikely that anyone would actually bother to exploit such niche software.
We do use extensively in a team of 50+ engineers.

Loading an epic may last 10-15 seconds, triggering the buttons to open the pop-ups menu is sluggish, etc.

I think the main problem is that the browser has to render so many elements, most of them are not even related to the page I am opening. For example, opening a story, it loads behind hundreds of cards before opening the "modal" dialog.

These modal dialogs are the most frustrating experience in SC – they close with the ESC key while you are writing, and it already happened the story I was writing was not saved, despite the obnoxious toast alerts saying the contrary. Modals also often breaks "modals menu" in Safari placing them in random places of the UI. They don't use the whole viewport so there's lot of distracting noise in the whole UI.

Some time ago there was some weird cartoonish animations popping out during my work. What a nice idea to consume even more browser resources and get into the middle of your workflow :(

It's going to be the same as with everything low level labor intensive jobs will go away and then rest will survive. With an AI, especially an descriptive AI like DALEE needs good instructions to give the desired results and not only a result that's ok.

Well, if you like a challenge, you could always get yourself a husky.

If they don't want to do something then they'll certainly provide some amusement value. Apart from parrots, huskies seem to be the only animal species capable of saying the word "No".

As someone on the HuskyTrantrums subreddit said, huskies are the best pets to watch someone else own.
You technically could do that but there's no real advantage to it, having an external store for a game's data isn't useful; a database is a better fit in all use cases. A game's economy doesn't exist without the game's balance and the same goes for items within that game. Trying to make some pie-in-the-sky "+4 str +4 stam leather belt" NFT is just nonsense.
A good supportive team helps. It's our code, not your code. It's our problem, not your problem. We will fix it together, dropping other work to mob it until it's under control.

By the way, the incremental testing you describe is broadly correct, almost always.

I remember one master's graduate presenting his research and program using facial recognition to find offenders (I believe using phone while driving). When asked about false positives and their consequences, it was basically waved off and not many in the room were interested in the answer.

This is the same country which is still handling a case where it had families fined because the system incorrectly flagged them for years (Netherlands, childcare benefit scandal). On top of these families still not being repaid, a lot of tax money is wasted on politicians talking about it without resolving the issue.
Ah, ok. Yeah, if we focus on the specific statement of "there isn't a choice for ad-blocking on iOS", then I was wrong, that's true.

I thought the comment was made in the larger context of which I made my initial comment about, namely the "Keep in mind that a substantial portion of users now use ad blockers" statement, but I understand now that devmor in classic HN tradition chose to specifically answer to one part of my comment while ignoring the rest, and not making it clear what they exactly responded to.

This is basically it. Legally it’s all immigrants, but colloquially “immigrants” are people looking for a better (richer) life while “expats” are in a place because they like it, not because their life conditions would be poorer at home.

> a situation where Russian foreign minister and their ambassador to Washington would contact and meet the leaders of the March on the Capitol

If Russia played no role in instigating the conditions of the revolt, and if Russia was a close US ally, then I would not call that a Russia-backed coup attempt.

The analogy doesn't fit, though, because Russia wasn't an ally, it was an adversary with its heart set on undermining US democracy. And Russia did play a role in the events that caused the revolt, with the purported stealing and releasing of the DNC's and Podesta's private e-mails, strategically leaked immediately after the Access Hollywood tape. One could make a case that these leaks got Trump elected due to the thin margins that he carried he election by, and that the leaks created an atmosphere of deep-state conspiracy thinking in the US public that made people more pliable to Trump's stolen election lies.

Like, yeah he is likely somewhere on the spectrum and he has some useful insights and material. But he's also kind of a raging asshole with a chip on his shoulder the size of mountain who would pop into technical groups and dump monologues out of nowhere then vanish, or at most deign to maybe add a bit more odd responses loaded with condescension and victimhood. I'm not sorry there are some colorful people like that around for a variety of reasons. That kind of personality can do neat stuff sometimes, and that he can have his own long running site and put up all his thoughts and opinions and then have entire new generations see and reconsider them down the road regardless of any bans from anywhere else is itself a testament to the promise of the internet and speech. And something I'm happy to point to by people who go ballistic about moderation on social media or the like. You don't have to be trapped by that.

At the same time I completely understand all the bans because holy crap. That kind of rant is enjoyed in strict moderation. Though that so many of us would respond seriously in retrospect is kind of nice too even if the banhammer came down afterwards when it got repetitive. Anyway, random anecdote! On reflection that too is itself part of the fascination around people like this, so many of the rest of us end up with shared recollections and stories to pass down. They become some part of the common lore of communities, the mad sorcerer/wiseman living in the cave up the mountain from the village of old. Often expelled from regular society for good reason, yet still subjects of interest and in some societies even a certain sort of respect.

In the case of binary formats, the application of Postel's "Law" is in practice only a workaround, used when there existed multiple different interpretations of a vague standard. If the standard had been defined properly in the first place, workarounds wouldn't have been needed.

I've seen Postel's Law being made official recommendation even — in an addendum document to a standard. The addendum got published only because the situation had become a mess.

In the maximal case where bots are indistinguishable from humans, by definition the odds of failing the Turing test are 50/50. A coin flip per comment. Yeah, I can put up with that.

Realistically, I don't think I will ever start regularly failing it. Go ahead, call it arrogance or hubris or whatever. I've looked at the originality and predictability metrics on a large corpus of my online comments. Let's just say, you won't be replacing me with gpt-3 or similar.
Yours is an interesting thought. Do you have experience with games like go? My personal experience has been that the attack-oriented style of most chess problems does help you avoid those positions in normal play. That is to say you learn defense at the same time because you have to think of all the lines in your head.
