I'd imagine what you'll really have is a primary tank with a human "field support" technician/operator and a bunch of unnamed machines that are at the front doing most of the physical fighting. Humans are expensive and Russia (most Western countries really) was already suffering from a shortage of young workers.

I'd be shocked if canons went away though. The end goal of warfare is to cause enough chaos/destruction that your enemy's choices are constrained to what you want. Without physical violence there's no sense going out into the field in the first place.
I mean wow, they really don't.
Sure :)

- People will catch edge cases before they occur

- People will realize that they have an edge case, and write a failing test/trigger the failure before they fix it, and explain it to me

- They come up with an approach pretty much instantly, and their design is correct after thinking about it a bit more

- Their coding style is very functional & composable (idk why I find this correlates with success, but it does)

- They test all dimensions of variability in their inputs

- They focus on what matters

- Forward progress doesn't stop

Things that don't correlate with instinct

- Speed of implementation (within reason). Different people can type at different speeds, and people think at different speeds

- Having to google APIs
But fundamentally there is little common ground

This is the lie we are all told to preserve the walls between "us" and "them," to divide and conquer our society. We are told to focus on the superficial differences between groups.

We are told to flip our shared humanity on its head and treat the superficial as fundamental, and the fundamental as irrelevant, to the point where we react viscerally to even the suggestion that someone who doesn't share tribal value X can still be a good person. But there is a lot of common ground between all human groups, if only we would focus on what we share instead of what we don't.

What defines good is our shared picture of empathy, consent, maximizing joy, minimizing suffering, reciprocity, etc. Basic golden rule stuff that's built into most of us and within reach of all of us.

I feel a lot of that sentiment stems from it being a necessary precondition for "AI can evolve beyond our understanding" fear porn as well as "AI can solve all your problems" promotional porn.

Ask HN: Favorite thinker/writer/artist/blogger/business people etc.?
I'm casting a very wide net here.

Thinkers, writers, artists, programmers, researchers, bloggers, podcasters, live-streamers, politicans, business people, anything, from well-known to lesser-known.

"Favorite" in any sense. People who inspire/influence you, whose style/philosophy you resonate with, whose content you follow closely and consume often, etc.

Would love to see your lists (with explanations if you'd like)!

By far, my favorite book on this era, The World Turned Upside Down, by Christopher Hill:

https://www.amazon.com/World-Turned-Upside-Down/dp/014199313...

As the book summary says:

"Within the English revolution of the mid-seventeenth century which resulted in the triumph of the protestant ethic—the ideology of the propertied class—there threatened another, quite different, revolution. Its success “might have established communal property, a far wider democracy in political and legal institutions, might have disestablished the state church and rejected the protestant ethic.” In The World Turned Upside Down Christopher Hill studies the beliefs of such radical groups as the Diggers, the Ranters, the Levellers, and others, and the social and emotional impulses that gave rise to them. "

It's an amazing look at the revolutions inside the revolution, the radicals who wanted to go beyond the radicalism of the moment.

But keep in mind, to go from a standard history to this history is like studying animals on land, and then deciding to study animals in the sea. You are stepping into a different world. Christopher Hill himself once remarked that when he compared his index to the indexes of the best known histories of the period, he noted how little overlap there was.
But it's an open process. That it's close to optimal efficiency isn't a bad thing.

It's so funny that this doesn't affect you at all but merely making the platform more accessible "significantly impacts" your loyalty.

Doesn't that mean your loyalty was conditional anyway? You are ready to jump ship if anything you don't like changes, even if it doesn't have anything to do with your system. Some loyalty.

Well meritocracy could be said to favour those who are genetically gifted. Sure, sure, hard work and all that, but if everyone is working just as hard and some are naturally gifted (higher intelligence due to genetics / lack of lead exposure as a child, etc.) then is it really meritocracy? It's no different than inherited wealth. I'm sure idealists would feel repulsed by the idea that genetics can lead to power imbalances in meritocracies.

Canadian MLS says 600,000 properties sold each year. Over 5 years that'd be roughly 3,000,000 homes. 1/3rd of that would be 1 million homes sold to foreign investors.

There's only 1 million people globally (including Canadians) with a net worth over $10 million.

That means every single one of them would have bought a Canadian home in the last 5 years.

I mean Canada is nice and all, but does that seem plausible?

Fellatory news article.

Like what? Is he a hero? A Roman Law hero?

> “We, and UPS, and to a lesser degree the Postal Service and a company called DHL, literally kept the world operating,” Mr. Smith declares. “I don’t think that what our people did is understood or appreciated nearly to the extent it should be.”

A lot of those communications went digital, in fact, that's the con going on here. Digital communications took over to a huge degree, so his company is doing worse, so that's why he's paying for a fellatory article on the wall street journal blog, he wants to create buzz around his company.

Look at the former Yugoslavian countries. The German right-wing terror group "NSU" is suspected to have used weapons from that area [1], the Charlie Hebdo and Paris terrorists did the same [2].

It is entirely reasonable that, similar to the aftermath of the 90s wars, weapons from Ukraine will turn up in every major conflict zone - especially because the current supply from the Balkan is all 30 years old decrepit shit, whereas Ukraine (rightfully) got the very best of the best of Western weaponry.

What business is this of the California government?

I am 71 and a large fraction of my work life has been 32 hour work weeks, negotiated with my employers (I usually got 80% salary and 100% vacation and benefits).

This is only possible in a slow market.

Right now, in DC metro, all contingencies are being waived, bids are $100k+ over list on moderately priced homes, and the seller is demanding a 2-month free "rent" back from the buyer.

Both my home purchases have waived inspection. The second waived financing contingencies as well. This isn't uncommon, based on what friends and family have done.

The point is that a soldier with a Javelin is a much less visible target than a big vehicle. Even if he runs just 40 meters away between the firing of the missile and its impact, any return fire aimed at the original site will likely miss him. And there can be a hundred of such Javelin-equipped soldiers in range.
I guess because then people could redistribute it under their own terms. Which is pirating, and therefore illegal.

Why assume that all artists are against this? Universal aren't adding watermarks out of pure evil intent and desire to ruin the music industry. They're adding watermarks because they think there is an economic case. It's just as likely that artists see this as a net positive to preserve their piece of the pie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_baseball_shootin...

>On June 14, 2017, during a practice session for the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity in Alexandria, Virginia, James Hodgkinson shot U.S. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, U.S. Capitol police officer Crystal Griner, congressional aide Zack Barth, and lobbyist Matt Mika. A ten-minute shootout took place between Hodgkinson and officers from the Capitol and Alexandria Police before officers shot Hodgkinson, who died from his wounds later that day at the George Washington University Hospital.[7][8] Scalise and Mika were taken to nearby hospitals where they underwent surgery.[9]

Hodgkinson was a left-wing political activist[10][11] from Belleville, Illinois, while Scalise was a Republican member of Congress. The Virginia Attorney General concluded Hodgkinson's attack was "an act of terrorism... fueled by rage against Republican legislators".[12] Scalise was the first sitting member of Congress to have been shot since Arizona Representative Gabby Giffords was shot in 2011.[13]

In a 2021 report, the FBI classified the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism, and the perpetrator of the shooting as a "domestic violent extremist" with a "personalized violent ideology."
I've seen this play out over and over in the corporate world--and, yes, the "educated" white-collar people are the worst; 90% of them are sheep. It's why these companies can continue to assert their own meritocracy. No one wants to become that bitter guy who complains about the promotion he didn't get and how unfair the system is--even though he knows the company better than the true believers.

I don't often find myself agreeing with Quillette (it's a conservative publication, and I'm a leftist) but this article is spot-on in its veiled critique of the centrist-liberal ("neoliberal") elite. A small number of people have managed to dominate the culture and economy by convincing us that everything is complex and that we're just not smart enough to understand anything--and, while they're not entirely wrong on the matter of complexity, I've met so many of them I can say with confidence that none of them understand what's going on either (as Covid has proved).
> an unwillingness to commit longer range artillery and missile strikes to soften what were hardened infantry targets

Given the current state of cities such as Mariupol I don't believe you can attribute an unwillingness to use artillery to the Russian side.
If you want to do something like this, I'd highly recommend using a package like rs-bindata[0] (Rust) or go-bindata[1] (Go) to essentially embed the static data into your .data section automatically, rather than having to paste it into constants. (Of course, writing it out manually in source code will do the very same - and that's all these packages do, albeit in the preprocessing phase - but this way is less clunky, and I suspect likely more performant and footgun-free than your own implementation is likely to be.)

It's possible that you could even use this to enumerate all the files in some directory, such that you wouldn't require source code changes in order to add a new post - you'd simply need to run the preprocessor again in a different build environment.

Also, in the spirit of the post: it should be relatively easy to implement this oneself with a build script in Rust. In Go I don't think it's as easy, and iirc the author of the package uses the semi-public 'build tags' API[2] (which always gave me a sense of being grudgingly released, in one of the countless "we core developers mustn't allow the unwashed hordes of lowly application developers to have these dangerous, powerful tools" fights that seem to characterise Go development).

And aren't bids binding? They either have to buy, pay some penalty and still have the buyer get the house...
that makes sense, I am renting this. not buying.

Lesson learned.
> "Figure it out" mentality. Even if there is a national or even global trend, responsibility to solve the issue is pushed onto the individual. Or worse, global mentality shifts to accept what is going on. "Yeah buying was normal back in the day, now you rent. Get over it."

This is a symptom of neoliberal ideology - the acceptance of any market outcome, no matter how negative, as "natural" and to be accepted or at least left unchanged. That's the predominant narrative, but I think that could change.
The reason I have some hope for a social-democratic turnaround is that the US has cultural hegemony, what happens there is broadcasted across the world through American media and other cultural exports. Currently, younger generations are engaged in a revival of left politics; this will almost definitely influence American politics in the coming years, and I'm hoping us Europeans (I'm from the UK) see some downwind benefit from that. There's already some smatterings of progressive politics in the UK, for instance - probably on a level comparable to 2012-2016 in the US. We even had our own Bernie in the form of Corbyn, and our far right resurgence is running low on steam thankfully.
The legality isn't the issue, it's the expected unlawful proliferation of these systems from this conflict that will happen.
If this is done by the CA legislature, it likely will be written as to not apply to most of us - will probably affect only hourly workers, and be written in a way that actually screws them over (eg, the company must give $X overtime pay and $X benefits at 32 hours, meaning even McJob will be limited to 31 hours from now on).

So yeah, I'd imagine pessimism is the reason HN seems to not care about this bill.
This is how real time advertisement bidding is done.
That bar is far too low - reductio ad absurdem, you could go as far as changing lyrics - or substituting an entirely different song - and if you'd never heard the song before you'd never know the difference.

As for more subtle changes, what constitutes a "plausible sound" in any given context is an AI-complete problem. Sure on a particular song, you might get away with e.g. tinkering with the reverb a bit, or changing the tempo by 0.5% - but how can you possibly do that in the general case?

Remember - all such changes have to be audibly salient to humans, because that's the only thing guaranteed to survive.
It's really crazy to me that so many people have apparently come to believe that it is bad for countries to implement measures that protect the interests and well-being of their own citizens above those of foreigners.

This is absolutely fantastic, I can't count the times where I needed to debug some sidecar/envoy/tls thing or some network connectivity between two different systems and needed a specific tool (nmap, telnet, ..) within a docker container to debug that and couldn't (or didn't want to) rebuild the container with the missing dependency or package.
Really hits a sweet spot and might make life a bit easier for me. Thanks for sharing it!
There is also another major factor behind why there is so much disagreement between the educated population: there are multiple ways to solve most situations, but there is only one way to tow the line. Republican strategy is to tow the line, whatever that line is, so they are consistent. While the opposition seeks an optimal solution, and that process appears as in-fighting.
Possibly, but even if so, seems like it'd be a step in the right direction (at the very least).
The connections made between artist expression and listeners are precious, rare, vital.

You’re saying it’s ok to decimate it - as long it’s replaced with some “plausible” proxy? Plausible decided by who, the artist or business requirements?
Thank you! I used to read lots of these "accounts" from famous academics ...

There have been many interglacials and only in one did the megafauna die out en masse. This is a good argument against it simply being from climate change.

Instead look to what was different in the most recent one. A weird species on 2 feet with hunting techniques that the megafauna had never encountered before. Such as using fire to drive whole herds of horses off of a cliff.
The Russian tank with the most losses in Ukraine is the T-72B3 obr.2016. This is the most recent variant of the T-72 that the Russians use (and started production in 2016) and has the same armour as the T-90MS which started production in 2017.

The only more advanced tank Russia has is the T-14, but it likely has less then 20 of those and due to the sanctions wont be able to make anymore, so its unlikely to be fielded in Ukraine.
You get NOx from burning most things including hydrogen. It’s can form from atmospheric Nitrogen and Oxygen combining at high temperatures such as found in flames. You do produce more or less with various types of fuel but production isn’t the issue it’s failing to get rid of them afterwards that’s the problem.

They are unstable breaking down either in the fire making complete combustion important, but a catalytic converter or at worse just the atmosphere works. They last just long enough to be a problem locally. But that also means people have local incentives to fix the issue unlike CO2 which has a much larger tragedy of the commons issue.
