Thankfully in this wonderful world you can both abhor and fight American imperialism and global stupidity AND also support America arming Ukraine to the teeth to fight off another imperial aggressor.

They are not opposing takes. Someone trying to tell you they are is trying to sell you a fiction that just so happens to benefit Russia
Washington Post can control what is posted through journalists, etc. (digital or not)

Twitter is like... an aggregator of a bunch of people tweeting. The people tweeting aren't being paid by Twitter to tweet (like journalists are for Washington Post, even if it's like $75 for an opinion piece/basically blogspam)

I feel like that's a pretty big difference?
This is a very myopic view that basically comes down to "I can't immediately think of thousands of different government services that require money, so they therefore don't exist and it all must be wasted."

Yes, there is some corruption and waste, especially in the DoD. It's a non-trivial percentage, and too high. I too wish we gave less money to the defense industry. But when a suspension bridge needs substructure repairs for $400 million, and that contract might go to a Senator's buddy's company, it represents corruption, but not necessarily a huge amount of waste. It's only waste if the company is actually significantly worse at delivering. There are some bad incentives, but mostly everyone is still incentivized to do the job right. I'm hesitant to estimate a percentage on the amount of taxes that are outright wasted due to corruption, but I have serious doubts it's higher than 10%. Yes, that's WAY TOO HIGH, but it's not close to "all of it minus a micron", like you say. Nor is it nearly enough for 3.4% to actually sustain everything; nor is 0% waste possible (but we should still try!).
Betteridge's law strikes again, the answer to any headline that ends with a question is "no."

Given the spelling with a capital letter I assume the god in question is the Abrahamic one, and God in that tradition is transcendent and immanent. That is to say God is beyond and within the universe, but not of it. God is not the equivalent of a very powerful guy.
"They found that all of the apps they tested occasionally gather raw audio data while mute is activated, with one popular app gathering information and delivering data to its server at the same rate regardless of whether the microphone is muted or not."

Sure would be nice if they named and shamed, with an opportunity for the company to comment as well.

I can imagine adaptive video rates eating up the freed bandwidth, but I would not bet on it. I would bet the audio was indeed being sent even on mute.

Pretty unforgivable
8 digit exit is 100 million right? And CTO probably got atleast 1 out of 100 of those millions right? What kind of shithole America's healthcare is that a multimillionaire has to still slog at a job for health insurance.
There's a setting in the Folder Options that lets you force folders to open in their own process.

Find the "Launch folder windows in a separate process" option under Folder Options -> View

Or at least there is in Windows 10, idk if they removed it with all the other useful stuff removed in Win11.

I don't disagree. It's just that... what are his plans for Twitter? Add an edit button? Tweak the algorithm that delivers timelines? None of that is really complicated. Those could be 6 month roadmap projects.

> but that he is motivated by a mix of politics, fun, and funny

1/3rd of his net worth on a company seems odd.
Why Hitler escaping a "conspiracy theory"? A leader of a losing country fleeing for his life is not a far fetched hypothesis, especially given how the US actively recruited Nazis through Operation Paperclip and Operation Gladio for scientific and non-scientific purposes.

I understand and agree that this study seems to put this question to rest (I would like to read the actual study tho) but just using the label "conspiracy theory" is simply intellectual laziness and doesn't advance the conversation.
Is this just income taxes? Excluding capital gains and estate taxes (when they pass)? If so then this is not surprising. Most of the wealthiest people derive the vast majority of their wealth from capital gains, not income. And it looks like that's what's being described by the article:

> The difference in tax rates between the wealthiest Americans and the average worker comes down to two critical factors, according to the investigation: first, the wealthy have their income taxed at a lower rate because much of their wealth is accumulated through investments, like stocks; and second, the wealthy are able to use large charitable donations to get huge deductions.

TL;DR: Capital gains taxes are distinct from income taxes. Journalist courts clicks by conflating the two.
On that same page there's another article titled:

Военная операция на Украине. Онлайн

Which google translates to: "Military operation in Ukraine. Online"

However Военная also means war, so I wonder how different would the tile be to say War operation in Ukraine? Would it be война на Украине?

I'm not reasoning, I'm playing devil's advocate as someone who is laptop-agnostic. A couple posts back in my history you can see I wrote the converse to someone.

Also, it's not that the laptop is a right-wing fabrication, but the... uh... existence of material relevance to the election I think? Something about it was dismissed as right-wing misinfo but, again, idk enough about the topic, I'm just trying to see what I can gather from different views now that the dust has settled.

> Same reason predominantly Muslim diasporas in the west care about Palestine a lot

I don't think that's true. It's true the Muslims I know care about Palestine. But, for example, nobody cares about Uyghurs, who are Muslim. I don't know any Bangladeshis that care about the Rohingya, even though they're at least closely related to Bangladeshis (and "look" the same and speak a closely related language). My impression, being part of this "diaspora," is that the common support for Palestine is more about shared animosity against Israel. This animosity is partly just anti-Jewish, but also partly anti-Anglo-meddling, insofar as Britain was instrumental in enabling Jewish repatriation of Israel, and the United States continues to support Israel.
Iyengar yoga is the best kind of yoga out there. Iyengar yoga instructors are the best teachers of yoga (in the west) because they focus on precision and technique. Most of what people call "yoga" is total BS.

Curious how this compares to Guile.

Guile is designed for embedding. But it is vanilla Scheme, which might not be as modern as the Fennel flavor.

Maybe, the Fennel all gets lowered to Lua at build time, so you don't need a (maybe more expensive) Guile runtime? Or, Lua has a more comprehensive library ecosystem?
There was just an article from deepmind on HN about this topic the other day[1], but basically IIRC it argues that all of the LLMs are horrendously compute inefficient, which means there’s a ton of room to improve them. So those models will be optimized over time just as the consumer hardware will be improved until eventually one day the two trends will converge. It’s just a question of when that will happen.

if you only vectorize the linear algebra, you leave performance on the table. Vectorizing fused operations reduces the number of memory passes. Also knowing the sizes (which are chosen at runtime) is necessary to make optimal decisions.
If this sale goes ahead it will be interesting to find out Elon Musk’s definition of free speech. Is a mob “speech”?

Under one perspective mobs are not speech, they are repressions on speech and thus any free speech advocate ought to want to clamp down on them.

Under another perspective mobs are speech, and should be protected like any other speech.

Neither perspective is wrong per se, it just depends how you interpret the “free” in free speech to refer to freedom from what.

No, crypto did not invent the financial scam either. I got lucky myself but I wouldn't tell my mom to put their retirement money into crypto and your sales pitch sounds more like a pitch for a cult than sane investment advice.
I've run into this. I would like to use my Android phone as speaker and microphone for my laptop, so I can walk around without leaving my call. For some reason this is impossible, Bluetooth supports it of course, and so does Pulse Audio on my laptop, but an Android phone will only act as the host not the speaker/mic.

I found SnapCast which lets me send audio from laptop to phone (with huge latency) but not the other way (phone mic to laptop).
I love Lua and the Lua community, but as a native Windows user, it's historically been a nightmare to use. To this day, I have never gotten LuaRocks to work reliably on Windows.

That's where I learned about safemoon!
"One example is on Kaurura. I have KSM, Stake that KSM for a 19% APR Rate. Throw that LKSM into a vault and mint AUSD as long as i have 160% collatoral ratio. I can then use that aUSD i printed, buy other assets and participate in liquidity pools, which are giving anywhere from 50% to 300% APR."

I'm sorry, but this sounds ridiculous.
Ancient civilizations observed astronomical bodies, often the Sun and Moon, to determine time. In a very real sense, the Sun and Moon are together a computer that one uses to calculate, or compute, what time it is. Sundials are analog computers, no telling when they first appeared, but at least as early as 1500BC in Egypt. The abacus is a computation tool that was developed as early as 2700BC in Sumer. Its development required CS, and it is used to calculate, or to compute. The rules of grammar of Sanskrit were formulated ~500BC, highly systematized and technical, using metarules, transformations and recursions, iow, the work itself is computer science. The Antikythera mechanism is an analog computer designed to calculate astronomical positions and created from anywhere between 205BC to 87BC, and without computer science (and a number of other disciplines) it could not have been made. 1000 years later Medieval Muslim astronomers created analog computers, such as the torquetum, which converted measurements in three sets of coordinates: Horizon, equatorial, and ecliptic. Developing this would have required computer science. There is also the astrolab. When John Napier discovered logarithms for computational purposes in the early 17th century it opened a period of considerable progress by inventors and scientists in making calculating tools, and doing good computer science as they went.

No, I'm afraid most of the computer science that has ever been performed occurred prior to the 19th Century.
What you describe is actually all the more interesting aspects of the “holodeck” as introduced and explored (some would say too deeply) as a story concept on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

There are more than a few scenes where the intrepid crew members struggle with what we’d now recognize as prompts.

Just some notes.
It was a flagship of black sea fleet.
It had crew of approx 500.
After the event, russian ships started keeping greater distance from Ukraine.
So, another advantage, then?
> do anything to shut up conspiracy theorists

Maybe it's worth contemplating what the conspiracy _truly_ is? Why keep pushing out 'proof' when it's just to convince some fringe minority?
"due to damage to the hull received during the fire from the detonation of ammunition"

The Ministry of Defense didn't clarify whose ammunition it was that exploded.

More seriously that was the flagship of the Russian fleet in the Black Sea. That's gotta put the fear of god into the other ship captains.
Makes me wonder however, where Ukraine's (edit)Neptune missiles where all this time and why Ukraine is getting Harpoon missiles from UK if they have their own.
You see this kind of thing with Manga Authors too, except in those cases the authors editor comes to their residence and stares daggers at them until the manuscript is ready.

That being said the most often place I have seen this is within manga itself, so this maybe the incidence rate is actually low and the authors who draw this into their series are either traumatised or just passing along a story!
> The missile cruiser "Moskva" sank while being towed to its destination in a storm due to damage to the hull received due to a fire from the detonation of ammunition. [Translated]

So many different ways to avoid saying that a Ukrainian missile sank it.
Elon if you’re reading this. Do it. They can’t stop you. We believe in you!
It would be super cool to use the moon to circularize the orbit. But the orbit you'd get wouldn't be super useful, probably. I wonder about stability as well. And the practicality of achieving the velocity to reach that high, and aiming that precisely. It would be really cool to see some analysis of that.

Another out-there idea would be to shoot things at a space station that had a giant catcher's mitt or something. Would it be possible to design a decelerator that would work? And to hit it precisely with a dumb projectile from the ground?

A third possibility would be to recover and reuse the rocket engines en masse. Not sure how it could be done in a way that was cost effective though.
Michael Cahill Talks about the Wired Tiger Storage Engine

Right. Almost no way Arizona could convince them to sell tea as a loss leader (if that's even legal).
All sides of war are such an incredible waste.
More like being "sank while being towed" I think? (edit: original title was "Cruiser 'Moskva' sank while towing") Anyway, as a former navy officer it looks very bad that the flagship of a fleet was apparently sunk by a anti ship missile (ASM) strike. Certainly in NATO navies you always keep a layered defense for your high value targets and while the Neptune ASM is very modern, the flagship should definitely not have been the first to be sunk.

This will be (should be) a wake up call for the rest of the fleet and keep them much further from the shore, which in turn has impact on the amount of air control the Russians can exert on the southern parts of Ukraine as apparently they have been leaning on navy vessels to provide SAM cover.
> in the case of attempted murder, wouldn't this just mean proving beyond doubt that someone tried to kill?

I'd assume yes. Otherwise, it would be a charge like gross negligence or assault+battery.
Here's my observation as mostly a player and (non-game) programmer but sometimes creator. To make these open ended games interesting there need to be large numbers of distinct unique interactions between things in the world, exhaustive testing will therefore be impossible and you will need to approach testing differently. If you're making a game like this, and you give people the chance to play a demo but they don't completely astonish you by doing something you'd never considered then your game is going to be disappointing.

The game world needs to make some sense (ie don't have the results of an interaction be merely pseudo-random) but it's OK if it's a bit weird. The real world is a bit weird, a little bit off the trivial defaults. Mario interacts with his world in a more or less predictable way... but lots of the edge cases are strange. Mario can't walk off the screen... but he can be pushed off by things. He bounces on some objects... but, the rules for how Mario bounces are hard to grasp, for a casual player it doesn't matter. In Minecraft if you put two bucketfuls of water a space apart from each other, unlimited water is the result. But if you put two bucketfuls of lava the same distance nothing interesting happens. Inconsistent, but not so haphazard as to be baffling.

If your world is in the resulting sweet spot, people can entertain themselves more or less indefinitely just like in this world. You can procedurally generate such worlds, but you must be prepared to have your players not interact with it the way you intended. When you buy a child a $$$ game and they spend hours happily playing with... the cardboard box it came in, they aren't doing it wrong, they're having fun, you don't get to dictate what other people enjoy. Lots of video game creators have that ego problem where they can't let go of how they thought the game is supposed to be played, and if you have procedural generation that's inherently wrong. Write a visual novel next time.
I appreciate the hard data from a different PCIe system.

I came to the 5000ns estimate because I tested some null-kernel a long time ago on a GPU. Basically a "hello world" of GPU kernels, and I tested to see how long it took for the kernel to be called.

I hear that GPUs have sped up a bit since my test a few years ago, but I'd expect it to still be around 5000ns for a "CPU-GPU ping-pong".
Russian warship sinks in Black Sea after Ukraine claims it was hit by missile
> EDIT: It is quite possible that Ukrainians knew some kind of weakness to the ship that they exploited during the attack.

Such as that it’s loaded with explosives that won’t respond well to being hit with anti ship missiles?
me too bob
Nah, it was upgraded to a submarine.
