We pretty much know that NATO is helping them immensely with battlefield overwatch there are awacs and other air assets 24/7 in the air around the borders of Ukraine. Harpoon is not yet delivered and the operators are still in training as are the ones for the switchblade system so it was most definitely a Neptun.
> We went from hearing about how Ukraine was a deeply corrupt country, barely a democracy, to immediately hearing about how they are only being attacked because of how democratic and amazing it is and that Putin is scared Russians will want to live like Ukrainians.

Can't forget the regime change—excuse me, anti-corruption protests—in 2014 directly after the old regime chose economic partnership with Putin over closer integration with the EU. Much of the civil conflict within Ukraine, which Putin ostensibly invaded to pacify (remember, lying to justify a war isn't a US-only skill), is due to their residents/leadership not recognizing the results of the 2014 governmental changes.
On a similar note, this attack introduces an artificial power consumption based side channel. It might require more inside information for the attacker, but it seems like an ECO that disables the crypto side channel mitigations that exist could be an interesting approach too. I’m not sure what the advantages and disadvantages would be.
What if most readers think that writers somehow represent a majority of Twitter or even the whole society? That belief, true or false, would leverage the influence of writers.

You’d just put a mass driver down

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_driver

That way you can also launch people without having to subject them to thousands of G.
This isn't the case at all. The trap your reasoning falls into is assuming that for some reason an object must be in an orbit after being thrown. Obviously, an orbit comes back to it's original position at some point. In many cases atmospheric drag converts what would be an orbit into burning up in the atmospheric or smashing into the ocean somewhere.

But if you throw something hard enough from the Earth's surface, it absolutely does not have to return to that position. You would just need to throw it hard enough that it was at escape velocity. Due to air friction, the actual speed you would need to throw the object would be flat out absurd if on Earth at sea level. But on a body like the moon with no atmosphere it isn't that bad at all. The bonus to this is the direction doesn't matter at all really. Anything other than straight down is fine.

Now, where this does become problematic is when the velocity you would need to achieve is higher than the speed of light. At that point you're basically on a neutron star or some supermassive planet.
> From their design, the ship class in question seem to be some kind of largish general-purpose missile cruisers with substantial armament and decent anti-air/anti-missile defenses,

My understanding is that the Moskva specifically had few and outdated anti-missile self-defense systems, but capable anti-air systems (and was, in fact, the main anti-air platform as well as the flagship for the Black Sea fleet.)
If they can get this working reliably on Earth then I would imagine it would work incredibly well in space. Could do (cargo) launches from the Moon to Earth with just energy from solar panels without any propellant. Probably would be the optimal way to put a ton of satellites in orbit of the Sun too for something like a Dyson Sphere.

Well except. Take two groups, A and B. If A tests more often, then the accuracy of the results are more accurate, because you have more data points confirming the results and are more likely to count all the positive cases during the 10 day window when someone might test positive.
This is not a trivial difference either. The triple Vaccinated are 3 times more likely to test positive now, according to the Walgreens results, despite that group going in for testing at much lower rates.

Are there some circumstances under which we might see this pattern, sure.
But there are also some circumstances on the other side of the argument like Marek's disease that lead to the disease evolving to target the vaccinated.

Anyway, we went from expert claims of vaccine being 98% effective at preventing covid, to what now? hoping they will get the same infection rate as the unvaccinated. You have to admit the standards keep dropping.

Now this doesn't even consider the economic damage done by the lockdowns. That same Walgreens is running out of baby formula. It was a mainstream story just a day ago.

Also, Ontario is showing the same pattern. Though it over counts the unvaccinated in all categories, by including those that received a single dose, and those getting sick within 14 days.

All US Navy battleships were completely decommissioned years ago. There is no possible way to reactivate any of them.
Most of the other replies here say it’s all about size, and size does matter, but it’s not the whole story.

Generally, cruisers are designed with capabilities that allow them to operate anywhere on the ocean on their own, or as the lead vessels in small groups of ships (along with frigates and destroyers). Destroyers are usually smaller and have a more limited set of capabilities, and are intended to operate as ocean-going support ships in a combat group. Frigates are usually even smaller, with similar set of capabilities to a destroyer, but more limited equipment and intended to operate relatively close to their home ports.

Every navy has different sizes for each, with the USA having some of the largest ships of each designation. You should also keep in mind that each type of ship has gotten progressively larger over time; as of WWII, destroyers were roughly 2000 tons, and cruisers were about 8000 tons.
What can you offer to substantiate your claim?
A month ago a deepfake of Zelensky was shared across social media. It was a surrender video targeted to Ukrainian civilians to "lay down arms."

The misinformation problem is extremely worrisome and AI technology only makes it worse. How can we make sense of this increasingly complex world when we don't know what to believe?
Why would you use an old battleship when you have submarines (torpedoes and missiles), airpower, smaller surface ships with lots of missiles?

(I think you may have confused this with the 1980s refit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa-class_battleship#1980s_re....)
"Cruiser" is an old term, and it originally referred to the mission rather than to the ship. Cruisers were usually smaller ships such as frigates or sloops, because bigger ships were too expensive to use in that role.

Battleships were the last descendants of the ship of line, which basically meant a ship big enough and heavily armed enough to not be a weak link in the line of battle.
The OSCE published a report yesterday: https://www.osce.org/odihr/515868

Some quotes:

“The Mission is not able to conclude whether the Russian attack on Ukraine per se may qualify as a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population. It however holds that some patterns of violent acts violating IHRL, which have been repeatedly documented in the course of the conflict, such as targeted killing, enforced disappearance or abductions of civilians, including journalists and local officials, are likely to meet this qualification. Any single violent act of this type, committed as part of such an attack and with the knowledge of it, would then constitute a crime against humanity.”

“It is not conceivable that so many civilians would have been killed and injured and so many civilian objects, including houses, hospitals, cultural property, schools, multi-story residential buildings, administrative buildings, penitentiary institutions, police stations, water stations and electricity systems would have been damaged or destroyed if Russia had respected its IHL obligations in terms of distinction, proportionality and precautions in conducting hostilities in Ukraine.”
At least carriers are obvious :)
Sounds like you could sink all these ships pretty easily if a single drone kicked this entire chain of events off.
This could be more about a rogue actor in a fab leaking Xbox private keys, for example. And Microsoft cares about that a lot, I think mainly because they worry non-legitimate copies of real games could be inserted into the supply chain at some point (though digital download sort of makes this irrelevant)

These marks are all over Seattle too. Anywhere you see a weird diagonal street, a 5-way intersection, etc, is probably the ghost of a rail line.

I saw elsewhere that an upgrade was proposed but the budget for it was denied...

I guess it is just a matter of reading the proposal, figure out what needed upgrading, and considering that to be the weakness you can exploit.

An analogy would be finding out the castle you want to conquer was supposed to have a rear gate repaired but the repairs were postponed... it would be quite obvious to attack that rear gate.
Well it wasn't specified. But here https://t2sde.org/architectures/powerpc/
Right, so someone could create a malicious /tmp/.git. You then go to /tmp/experiment to do something and run some git commands.

Easy fix: on boot, have the "rc" script create a root-owned /tmp/.git dummy file with r-------- permissions.

Someone can also create a /tmp/foo/.git; but to be susceptible to that, you have to be under /tmp/foo.
That's another user's directory. What are you doing in there? Serves you right.

If /tmp/foo is your own, and someone planted a .git into it, that's your problem too: you're creating material in /tmp that is accessible to others, which is a security no-no.

Probably, this should be fixed in the kernel: the kernel should not allow a regular user to create a hidden directory (i.e. name starting with ".") in /tmp. Or probably any hidden object.

Such a fix is more general: it fixes the issue for any git-like program that walks up the tree looking for a special dot directory or file, including all such programs not yet written.

The rule could be general, such that creating a hidden object in a directory is only allowed to the directory's owner, not just to anyone who has write permissions to the directory.

In other words, if multiple users have write access to a directory, such as /tmp, but any other kind
of directory, then they are not allowed to perpetrate hidden objects on each other (both because
those things don't show up under "ls" without "-a" and because programs find those and react to them).

In fact, I would go one step further and enforce the kernel rule that writing to an existing dot file is denied to
anyone other than the owner that file, regardless of its write permissions.
Burn in hell!

It would depend a lot on what I was doing.

If it was ordinary web application software I wouldn’t disagree with your FE choice but would probably stick with the JVM on the back end unless I felt really good about the cloud native route (dynamo + lambda) for a db they say you can’t get fired for picking Postgres today but I am one of the few and the proud who likes arangodb.

Personally I have some interest in A.I. work which might involve PyTorch, Tensorflow or something like that. Also I am interested in embedded, for that I wish I could give up on C and just write assembly.
Deep state via its pension funds that have unlimited access to free cash from Fed in cases like this, will long Twitter. This bidding war cannot be won by Musk. He probably factored this in, and will take significant profit once he dumps his share as he promised. Hopefully that would go towards funding a Twitter alternative.
> You should look at it from Putin's point of view. Escalating with the west is even less of an option.

I see this differently.

My understanding of the Russian "heartland" narratives suggest Russia is dead if they cannot control Ukraine in the medium term. Their "multi polar" view suggests that they MUST be at the centre of an anti-US alliance extending across Asia, Europe and Africa.

From these perspectives they HAVE to fight this war now. Even if they lose now, they feel they have to keep trying.

A very honest, meandering rant on the state of things. It is admirable how the writer remains so objective about the strengths and weaknesses of the various options he's explored -- I'm much more prone to cognitive assonance. That is, to pick something and decide shortly thereafter that it is indeed the best thing since sliced bread.
After watching him do the same thing with crypto, it's astonishing to me people aren't taking this explanation for his behavior more seriously.
> Seeing as it sank many hours after it first caught fire

I may have missed some info, but I think the jury is still out on that. The Ukrainians announced the sinking a day before the Russians did. At least one of them must have been incorrect, I would guess for propaganda reasons.

My money would be on the Russians lying. An Ukrainian lie would be very embarrassing if Russia subsequently invited some journalists over to look at the ship.
If your visitors are making requests to SaaS APIs on your behalf, how can a SaaS identify the visitors belong to you without a key?

In general if a SaaS has a client-side SDK, they’ve designed around this and give you an API key just for the client bundle. It has only the permissions required for the client SDK, which - yes, could give a client the ability to run up your bill. But you could say the same about any usage based service. It’s up to you and the service to mitigate against that.

I’m not familiar with every variable in the screenshot from this blog post. Of those I’m familiar with, I don’t see any secrets in there.
To help me think about this, is it like if I built a blog with React, but each major UI component was it's own package that I installed with `npm`?

Is the expectation that I would mix and match UI components out of different projects? Like I want to use Material UI's <Checkbox> component but Chakra's <Banner> component? And they're all independently versioned?

Sounds like a recipe for a lot of complexity to me, but probably I am missing something.

Edit: The homepage actually does a really good job of explaining this. And yes, it seems like it's what I thought.

> And you are actively ignoring any evidence that's inconvenient for your rosy picture of United States.

I'm actually not. I have pointed to several examples of things you have repeatedly chosen to ignore, and you have pointed to zero examples of things I have ignored.

> See, here's the thing: nobody is claiming China is perfect. But you assume US is, or that it's at least better than China.

It is better in some ways, which you have so far refused to acknowledge.

I have no problem acknowledging US faults. I have no problem acknowledging that China is better at not starting pointless wars, for example.

You should have no difficulty acknowledging that it is impossible to know the extent to which China is improving or has rule of law when all information is restricted by the CCP's totalitarian censorship regime. And you obviously understand corruption, so you should have no difficulty acknowledging that we should be deeply skeptical that an overwhelmingly censored society has rule of law. Because the point of censorship is to protect the government from what the people would do if they knew the truth.

I do not care which country is better. I am not here to be a good little obedient nationalistic drone of any country. I care that the good people of China and America understand the natures of the systems that rule over them and fight against the corruption in those systems.
What does that have to do with what I wrote? At least compare maths function apples with apples.

Most of the point of optimized L3 BLAS is optimizing for memory so it's compute-bound asymptotically but, for instance, header-only libxsmm isn't normal BLAS.

FYI I'm a Spinlaunch invesetor.

Just watched this video. His argument for why Spinlaunch won't work is basically:

1) in the video of their first test chamber (12m diameter) there's some dirt and rust, therefore they don't know anything about vacuums

2) in their first ever test fire of a projectile leaving their 33m chamber, the projectile is wobbling, therefore they don't know anything

3) in a mock up video they made of a future launch system the headquarters is close to the launcher, which might explode if there's a misfire, therefore they don't know anything

4) the founder has an uninspiring resume when you look online

'Add these up and there's no chance they'll succeed. What they've done isn't as impressive as 50+ year old gunships.'

Give me a break. Their rate of progress is exceptional. They've already overcome so many challenges. These are weak arguments. Doesn't mean they'll be successful. But these arguments are weak. Some quick counter-arguments

1-) the 12m test chamber was a demo chamber. they were constantly spinning it up and letting people go inside. doing tours. stress testing new materials and arms. blowing stuff up. if anything the fact that it was so reliable even with the imperfections is a positive

2-) when someone is learning to throw a football there's tons of wobble. spinlaunch needs to figure out a perfect spiral. these videos were from their first couple attempts ever out of a chamber. what they're showing is very hard. this team has shown an ability to innovate and improve. those were images of their first few attempts to "throw the football"

3-) give the team some credit. these videos are designed for the general public. what they built already has an incredible amount of kinetic energy. they stress tested many tethers (past their limits) before going to this scale. when you're picking on things as small as "they're going to kill themselves by sitting right next to the system" you clearly don't have much left to nitpick

4-) jonathan is an absolute genius. just because he has a spartan online bio and unorthodox background doesn't mean he's not an absolute force of nature. thunderf00t is a very smart dude. but i'd bet anything that in a debate -- on basically any topic -- jonathan would absolutely decimate thunderf00t

cheers to the builders
Are you kidding? They even come up with cute names for them, like "Penny for Pinellas":

Assuming there is still some room for improvement and other manufacturers can copy those results. Then, one could half the battery size (less resources) or to alleviate range anxiety (more acceptance for EVs). Both great prospects.

Oh, and this discounts improvements in battery technology which would increase those effects.
Do other teams depend on your work?

I've run into like "the build system team", where the build system was some patchwork of hacks that never quite worked, and was also completely opaque to those who used it. The cycle was

1. Try to do something

2. Encounter a build problem

3. Talk to the build system guys, they promise to look into it fast

4. Twiddle your thumbs for a week while the entire team is blocked

5. Goto 1

Cool story bro.

I could also write up paragraphs of text filled with vague generalizations and prejudices about people living in the rural countryside, and paint up a picture that all the people who live there are abominations who uniquely suffer from the negative aspects of the human condition..

But I won't, because this and that are both mindless factionalist drivel.
Taking a union of differential equations is a pretty bad idea for exactly the reasons you describe. But it's absolutely possible to parallelise multiple diffeq solves without needing to use the same time steps for each solve. That is, the time steps can be vectorised, rather than broadcast, over the batch axis.

So the only thing you actually need are the same number of steps for each solve, which can be easily accomplished by just padding out the solves that finish with slightly fewer steps. In practice this ends up introducing negligible overhead whilst solving the above issue very neatly. For example this is precisely what Diffrax (https://github.com/patrick-kidger/diffrax) does under `jax.vmap`.

I've not dug into what Julia does here; is this not already done when broadcasting `DifferentialEquations.solve`?
IANAL, but this sounds highly illegal.

Or even worse -- behaviors that attempt to hide identity may in the future be the exact sort of thing they use to do forensic sweeps. Unfortunately, I think that is just as likely as anything else.
>No, the difference is that in America, the news media report on these things which are horrible and embarrassing to our country

And nothing changes. Convinced child rapist was let free because he was wealthy and “wouldn’t feel good in prison”. Do you think this was followed by some reform to make sure it doesn’t happen again?

>In China, everything embarrassing to the CCP is instantly censored

This is obviously false. Talk to someone from China perhaps, or take a look at their media?

>Only criminals censor the media.
