When my dad was doing some household maintenance he sometimes used to explain the procedure to the dog. On a couple of occasions I've given short technical talks my dog. She just used to sit there with a look that said "I'm not sure I've grasped all the nuances of your argument, but I love you, and you're a genius."
The US has historically and currently benefited much more from unstable governments. Why do you think they've invested so much in making governments unstable? Especially if they're "unfriendly" to US business interests
Gravel Institute marketing itself as a counterweight to PragerU is about the most honest thing they've done, because they lie just as much and in similar ways as PragerU likes to.
Deployed is not inventory. 1500 warheads ready to go. The rest cannot be flushed in an initial nuclear exchange.

It's also a little complex in terms of the count. Bombers count as one independent of how many warheads they carry (the US has non-trivial nuclear bomber forces)

I often wonder if animals don't do human things because they're too busy enjoying other desires and emotions. We run after abstract arts, concepts, way to craft tools etc etc but if they hit some kind of equilibrium and their brain just prunes stuff because they'd rather sit in the sun enjoying the wind. I used to be obsessed by ideas and nowadays all I want to do is sit near a pond around family, hug and watch the view :)

And that’s exactly why humankind is forever bound to repeat the same mistakes over and over. We have all the information in the world and yet politicians still think that this time is different and you can appease dictators and they’ll just stop. But once they do realize, it’s already too late and it ends up costing many magnitudes more.

It’s always about choosing short term gain over long term thinking. Can’t wait to see when global warming really starts to hurt.

Amazing that after all these years, most importantly the experiment in the 1970s of funding the groups that became the Taliban, Americans haven’t learned their lessons about funding foreign militaries.
I've heard a lot recently from Indian colleagues at work about the Chinese desire to create a roadway that passes through Kashmir etc so goods coming from the Tibetan side of the Hindu Kush can be more efficiently transported to ports. I don't know Khan's politics but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that any politician in the region wanting to oust US influence and (potentially) side with China would draw the ire of the US enough to cause change agents on the ground to push for their ouster.
I have to imagine python has revolutionised physics education at university.

I taught myself C before arriving (and, eg., esp. via stanford's programming paradigms course) -- if I hadnt, I would be resigned with my classmates to C code projected on OHP slides.

If I had my way today, the whole of any applied science would be taught with both mathematical and programming (python for convenience) notation.
That a single museum hasn’t taken up this or something similar as an exhibit is telling.

There is no story worth telling. The context of seeing artifacts from another era of humanity is very elucidating. As is hearing the story of an artistic work that is more recent.

These stories and contexts interest people. The absence from museums is already telling. People and curators don’t think it has a story or context that is interesting.

Implicitly the story here is tech bros made silly images that look too much like NFTs. This story is not engaging or revealing to the wider public. Perhaps they don’t understand it.

Thus no one is putting it in a museum, even as a story of computers creating “art” and the designers and engineers behind the programs. Even the “creative” process of human engineers isn’t seen as that interesting.

The OP is saying all this is implied in an exhibit. That is how it gets to be an exhibit. Human interest. This doesn’t have it clearly. Perhaps one day humans will be drawn to AI images, but honestly I kind of doubt it.
One of the things I always found fun in programming, is anything related to graphics. The main reason is that you get immediate feedback while you are working on it.

Elon has a wonderful ability to make use of other people to build his own image. I was a former fanboy in the 2010s but he's so far off the deep end I won't consider touching anything he has control over.

It was a disappointing turn from someone who could lead with vision to a billionaire troll that shows signs of what looks like depression to me. He's slowly sliding off the deep end.

In other words, please cripple your already struggling economies because of a war that you had nothing to do with. Sure, your citizens might have to freeze or starve but this is absolutely necessary to support the current thing. Oh, and please keep buying Saudi and Emirati oil and please keep selling them weapons to bomb Yemen. Anything else would be whataboutism.

Also exists other Domain Specific Languages, best suited for their niches.

What I talked about, C-like languages have their powerful sides, and in some niches they shine like brilliant, but in others they are unhandy.

And unfortunately, it is really hard, near impossible, to make tool suitable everywhere.

Because of this, in real life exists many languages, nothing become ubertool for everything.

A lot of affirmative and supportive comments here, and OP should absolutely take those into consideration. From my own path to Distinguished Engineer, including dropping and coming back to SWE, I offer the following advice:

Yes, anyone can learn to code. No, not everyone can become good at it. Without more nuance it's hard to say - but it sounds like you might need some training in critical thinking. You may be in an industry segment that you're not suited to. You may be using a language that you don't think naturally with, or which isn't suited to how you think or organize thoughts. You may need to improve your organizational skills, or perhaps you're just not good at that. You may not work well in the kind of company structure you're in. While supportive comments are good, take a critical but objective look at your shortcomings and evaluate if you can improve upon them. Seek mentors outside of your current company.

Software development isn't for everyone, just as any trade isn't for everyone. I'm trained in and went through apprenticeship to be an electrician (seriously, I gave 4 years to that), and I know damn well I'm not a very good electrician.
We're about a mile from downtown, and while rents and house prices have gone up substantially like they have everywhere in the bay area, it is still one of the more affordable areas in Mountain View.

But location aside, there is very little of the city that is more than 20 minutes by bike away. I used to commute to Palo Alto, and then later Sunnyvale, both were less than 30 minutes. If I made the mistake of trying to drive to work during rush hour, it took about as long.
There are subtle differences in the sense that individual databases can be detached, queries can be monitored and throttled by local authorities, etc. It will be much harder to have a single breach leak the whole database (e.g., the OPM hack [1].) It also makes automated surveillance (e.g., "track this person around and constantly notify the secret police of their location") much harder to implement without at least a few different countries cooperating to implement the system.

However, as far as the core functionality ("look up a face, find a match from any country's data") the operation of this federated database will be nearly identical. I suspect that politicians/regulators either don't fully understand this, or else they don't want their constituents to understand this.

I see it differently. Before the Federal Reserve, any bank engaging in fractional reserve banking was committing fraud. Rather than crack down on this fraudulent behavior, the Fed institutionalized it, which seems like an unquestionably negative thing. Thanks to the Cantillion effect, those closest to the source of money are enriched, I would argue unjustly and at the expense of all others using that money. I believe this to be one of the major sources of wealth inequality in the world today.
Technically true, but this reeks of false balance fallacy. The US recognizing that Yatsenyuk will inevitably take power (given that he was the most popular opposition politician by far) and strategizing about factional politics following a brewing revolution is just categorically different to annexing territory and poisoning opponent politicians.
Apparently it's smart troll day on HN. (Xah is just down the page right now.) It's like a celebration of the kind of person I admired before I realized that other people are real too.

- A more operational alternative to Kafka Connect and the JVM.

- It's open source and free.

> Long love ergomacs!

I recently stumbled over, and started using (and modifying) Xah's "xah-fly-keys" emacs bindings, which are a somewhat more radical implementation of the ideas behind ergoemacs (e.g. use Emacs without any "chording", i.e. without ever having to press two keys at once apart from shift+letter).

Yeah - as much as I truly love what Elon is doing for the world it's a bit hard to take him serious when he posts that kind of crap. Telling Twitter to turn HQ into a homeless shelter is not much better that saying things like "If Musk just gave every person $1000 blah blah".. those topics are worthy problems that we must solve, but the solution is not for all the tech companies to give up their office space.

NATO has a moral quandary on their hands. It's reasonable to argue that a given decision is the wrong one, but it seems ridiculous to lay the label of "recklessly provocative" on anybody but Putin, who threatened to nuke Europe over "offenses" for which a nuclear holocaust is, to put it lightly, not commensurate.
Perhaps the key here is the cat saw only its ears first, which looked like two potential targets. Then it had to reprocess after it realized they were attached.
> People search for the meaning of life, but this is the easy question: we are born into a world that presents us with many millennia of collected knowledge and information, and all our predecessors ask of us is that we not waste our brief life ignoring the past only to rediscover or reinvent its lessons badly

Yeah the Not Invented Here mindset is hard to avoid. So many people ignorant of the whole body of knowledge on various subjects before them, and the best they can do is re-invent the wheel and cry 'Eureka!' (e.g Like when stumbling upon a yoga asana/posture that was committed to text 2000 years ago or accidentally coding Bubble Sort with no prior knowledge of algorithms).

> I mean that when Greece says "I will put €x in your bank account", they can. They don't need to get those euros from somewhere else. They can just make them appear in your bank. That's why they can run deficits without running out of money.

The Greek government cannot create EUR by fiat. Only the ECB has that power. Any EUR that they could place into an individual entity's account would need to come from tax receipts or some kind of loan (Gov Bonds, loan from IMF etc.). Developed economies run deficits by issuing government bonds and selling them to the open market. If for whatever irrational reason there were infinite market appetite for Greek bonds there never would have been a debt crisis - they could have kept on raising money in the market and running a deficit.

> This is basically "where euros come from." They're spent into an economy by governments. The ECB keeps track of how much each government spends, less taxes collected. The diff becomes "national debt." Money owed to the ECB.

National debt for developed countries is mostly money raised by issuing government bonds in the international bond market. The ECB does not loan member states money directly. In extreme cases like the European Debt Crisis[0] they buy sovereign bonds in the open market (effectively a loan). Money is created by the ECB's interactions with the banking system [1], not government spending.

> The ECB decides interest rates, but this is basically just accounting. Greece will never have a persistent surplus, where ECB loans are paid down. Neither will other member states. So, interest "payments" just determine how fast the national debt grows.

The interest rate the Greek government pays on its debt is not determined by the ECB. It determined by the open market when they issue bonds. The interest rates the ECB sets [2] directly affect the banking system and not government borrowing rates.

The government was toppled? And you imply this was some sort of military coup. But in reality, the Prime Minister was removed from power, and not through military force. So both your implicit and explicit claims are false.
How often will one have to deal with Indian bureaucracy? Its very rare. Being on the GC backlog means I always have to deal with the bureaucracy and at the mercy of my employer. It simply takes away any hope I have, I will always be on the h1b leash. Considering what I went through the last couple of years, I simply don't have the courage to deal with h1b any more. If I could find a job in India, I will pack up this instant.

That's just backface and/or frustum culling, likely being done by the N64's equivalent of the hardware transform unit or the rasterizer. Completely separate matter from visibility culling which is usually done at a very coarse level - objects, rooms, etc. Not individual triangles. It's true that game consoles typically had better culling capability of this sort built in, since without it games wouldn't have acceptable performance.

When a scene contains a truckload of triangles, culling them all one at a time like that does not win you as much performance as you might think. You always needed to do additional things on top of it.
You really think we are all going to be visiting museums with AI generated art one day?

There's always some sort of context, this is what allows something to exist in the first place. And even if the artist may define that the context is not “valid”, the audience can make anything it wants with it.

No, the ancient town was buried by building layer upon layer over the centuries. This is a quite normal process almost anywhere in the world, it was easier to build upon the foundations of existing buildings if they were sturdy enough than to completely remove them to start over with new foundations.

A coup supported by the west in 2014, a color (orange) revolution before that. In both cases there was overt support for the anti-government protests and vetting and planning for the US favored successor (“Fuck the EU”).

A former Georgian prime minister (same that got Georgia into an armed conflict with Russia and who came into power in Georgia by a flower revolution) became head of Odessian Oblast with US support some time after 2014.

Various paramilitary groups were funded / backed by Russia / US / other people. Among them obviously the “peoples republics”.

Years of investment in “pro”-democracy NGOs many of which are known to be affiliated with the State Department and intelligence fronts, to the point that many maidan protesters / organizers were essentially paid to be there.

The Crimean referendum happened under Russian influence obviously.

The whole Nordstream 1/2 project came into existence because Ukraine was annoying to deal with and some German politicians were more than a bit too friendly and open to Russian suggestions.

In turn there was a lot of planning by the US happening to slow down Nordstream 2.

There are a lot more examples like that. Ukraine is an excellent case study how large blocks / nations follow through on their foreign policy goals over decades.
