Milsim nerds can be incredibly particular and either end up having access to such documents through their work, or merely find and post documents they come across online. The struggle to win an online argument can result in a shocking amount of research fueled on nothing by pettiness and bitter nerd-rage tears.

Example about the availability of publicly available classified information: During the time when the Wikileaks stuff was first starting, Military personnel were instructed not to read articles or even headlines about Wikileaks, because they might contain classified information. Given that there would then be an issue with "need to know", reading the newspaper could inadvertently cause one to violate policy, and in turn require the violator to file a report on the matter. Rather than deal with however many reports, people were simply given a lawful order: Do not read any information pertaining to the subject.

Anyway, back to the point about nerds: If a guy is attempting to rotate the turret of a tank he spent 1.5 years grinding to get, and he knows that in real life his turret should rotate at a certain speed, but in game it actually takes longer to turn, and he dies as a result, the chance of him whining about it online is probable. Rinse and repeat this a few hundred times, and cost him potentially 10-20 million Silver Lions (free in-game currency) in repair costs, lost battles, etc. then you better believe he's going to get really salty about it. He's either going to say some things he shouldn't be saying (unlikely, but not impossible), or, he's going to find and link to documents that shouldn't be publicly available.

In turn, other nerds will notice this, report it due to the policies around classified information. Eventually it becomes a big to-do about something that was already accessible, but not necessarily well known.
What about the kids in school districts that issue locked-down Chromebooks? They probably can't even do that!

I, for one, learned how to bcdedit my way into booting from a .vhd on my school-issued laptop. And how to SSH tunnel on port 443 to get past the proxy. How LSPs worked on Windows. Messing around is how kids get their start in computers, and I couldn't agree with the parent comment more.
I wrote an application in cakephp before I learned rails. What a great framework. Plus, it's PHP, so easy to host anywhere.
Unrelated question: how do your hands look after handling coins so constantly as you do? Is there a slight sheen to them? Do you have less hair on your hands than you normally would, or more?
Been a while since I've looked at this. It used to be that settings sync was a Microsoft-only feature, and that still seems to be the case. Are there any independent implementations of settings sync?
One way to reduce static pressure is to increase the number of filters. I saw one design last year, during the fires, that was a cube. Lasco fan on one side, and five filters tied into a box shape.

A couple problems. One, space - this thing was bigger than a dorm fridge. Two, availability - no way you were finding five filters during a wildfire. Three, etiquette - if you found five filters that meant two other people weren’t getting any at all. Four, diminishing returns. Two filters reduce the pressure by half. Another only reduces it by a third, and so on.
Why not? It seems like your claim is based on one of two assumptions, neither of which I find particularly compelling:

a) any startup hiring in SF and NYC will go bankrupt

b) the devs you hire outside of SF and NYC for the same HCoL salaries are not worth the pay, and over time will cause business failure

or is there another option?
Thx, but I'm very familiar
You're supposed to do more maintenance than that on your Honda Fit, such as spark plugs every 30k. Granted, it isn't much compared to other ICE cars, but you're downplaying the difference. Your car also has parts that frequently break on all ICE cars, such as a water pump, which simply don't exist on BEV cars.

If a person believes this is due to some "inherent racial trait", they're a racist, plain and simple.

From this I think you're (a) allowing that there might be cultural differences correlated with race that are causative; and (b) expressing that it's flatly impossible that there could be (statistically on average) genetic differences that contribute to greater or lesser success depending on the prevailing environment.

Point (b) sounds like a denial of the mechanisms of evolution that we have high confidence are correct, and Lysenkoism more generally. It's not that (b) is necessarily true, but your implication that it cannot possibly be true (or at least that admitting it's true makes one the worst sort of monster) is shutting science out of the discussion before it can even be consulted.
I did this for a cheap dust filter when demoing a ~7 cu ft concrete shower pan in my house. Pretty incredible how much material it pulled out of the air; I ended up running through 3-4 filters total throughout the whole process.
You've gotta ask yourself: has there really be a fall from grace? Because there are those of us who saw him as a cringeworthy Twitter 'edgelord' in 2015, and we don't notice much of a difference at all today. It's probably just that he's being more consistently overt about it, and his PR machine can't compensate.

Correct rounding means that if the function result has X bits, all those X bits should be the same as when computing the result with infinite precision and then rounding it using the specified rounding mode.

For the ordinary arithmetic operations, including for square root and for reciprocal square root, there are algorithms to do correct rounding without excessive computation. Because of that, the standard for floating-point arithmetic specifies that a conforming implementation must use correct rounding for those operations.

On the other hand, for transcedental functions, like exponential, logarithm, sine and so on, there is no general method to guarantee that the result will be correctly rounded without having to compute an unlimited number of result bits before being able to round correctly.

Because of the difficulty, many mathematical libraries and also all hardware implementations of transcedental functions round correctly many of the possible results, but not all of them.

Nevertheless, for each usual transcedental functions and for the numbers of bits used frequently, i.e. single-, double- and quadruple-precision, there are known algorithms to round correctly, which have usually been found by exhaustive searches for corner cases, when more result bits must be computed than for most other results.
Whenever I feel sluggish at work, I take a few minutes to re-watch the hacking scene from the motion picture "Swordfish". This is enough to get the adrenaline going and gets me over the hump. Adopting this routine has had big positive effects: Finagling JSON/YAML, troubleshooting time zone bugs, performing hundreds of Docker builds, and performing daily maintenance on CI pipelines has been positively affected.
It's much more fun when internal promos get axed on the last approval. Learned the hard way never to say anything about promo processing until after paperwork is ready.
> This is, in fact, quite difficult to convince your ISP they should do.

For server hosting, I have never seen a provider that doesn't allow me to either set the PTR record or at the very least keep it set to something that resolves back to the IP address in question.

For residential ISPs however the story is different - but who would want to send emails to googlemail from a residential IPv6 address without authenticating themselves? Only spammers would.

If they commute 235 miles per year then they don’t need a train at all because that is a commute of around half a mile each way per day which is easily walkable. That number is so ridiculously low I suspect the source is wrong.

That's actually one of the more interesting and impressive things: the AI has substituted in "humanoid frog" and in some cases given it movie-appropriate features like Matrix sunglasses ot Pixar-style eyes which are probably unique to the image rather than simply pasting photographs of the original muppet into movie poster settings which would be an acceptable lower level response to the brief.
If the coin were unbiased, we could compute the exact probability of getting 10231 or more heads with 20000 flips as:

"sum (20000 choose x)/2^20000 for x from 10231 to 20000",

which Wolfram Alpha evaluates to 0.00056.

The probability of getting a number of flips that differs from 10000 by at least 231 is twice that, so about 0.001.

So, in fact, the probability of this happening by dumb luck is about 1/1000. That's pretty strong evidence.

I like that message “he can Sell Bitcoin only once”, however, he is selling Bitcoin over and over again, being the most traded asset on the exchange.

He might even be able to sell the same sats multiple times too, without having those sats for settlement.

Which doesn't make sense to me. Just comparing the F-150 Lightning to the Cybertruck it seems pretty clear that Tesla has no idea what they are doing.

> a guy basically explaining that tanks may be becoming less of a focus in modern armies, as new weapons and tactics easily counter them.

Tanks will probably reduce in focus given their massive expense vs. the countermeasures but the Russian's tank losses have arisen partly because of their massive tactical incompetence and can't in themselves be taken to mean that tanks are now useless. Tanks work best when used in combined arms ops, with supporting infantry, artillery and air.

Sending columns of tanks in single file down main roads and then getting them blown up is basically the plot of "A Bridge Too Far", a.k.a Operation Market Garden in WW2, when the Allies tried to quickly cross multiple bridges into Germany, and discovered the hard way that only the tanks at the front can actually fight, and that if they get stuck, so do all of the others. Obviously the Russian commanders didn't watch this classic film when it was repeated on Sunday afternoon TV.

[Edit] That said, I wouldn't necessarily choose AFV crew if I was picking a job in an Army.

It's amazing and wonderful, but it's not the AI that's "creating art", it's the human choosing the best AI output that's doing the artistic part (often togehter with the person who input the prompt to the AI).

It's just like Dada poets did 100 years ago: you use a mechanical process to generate quasi-random output, and then you choose some of this output to present to other humans. The way you provide input to the mechanical process (e.g. what words you choose to put in the hat) and the curation are the real creative part of the art, not the mechanical process generating the text itself.

Of all the things to complain about Musk, this seems like the weakest. Some dude started a twitter fight with Musk and got called a "pedo guy" in response. Sounds like a South African response to me. I'm guessing you've never spent time with Australians, they call everyone cunts. Who cares?

>____ are in those roles not because they cannot do other roles, but because someone needs to _______

Honestly, this applies to a whole lot of jobs and can be reversed for SWE too. I am a business analyst and have a few stories of working with SWE who would belittle my input to them about anything involving code because I did not code on the daily. More often then not, we would talk in a circle - I would get frustrated and comply with their suggestion, some random issue would come up, then it would be their idea to do the thing I said we should do in the first place. And this wasnt with one-off arrogant SWE that are hard to work with. Just normal people trying to be polite. but I built my initial specs as the bare minimum necessary to fit my need, and because I could not identify off the top of my head exactly what issue would arise from changing those specs (even though I could be sure there would be some issue) - they ignored my specs and did it their own way.

I lean on the SWE as the coding expert overall and would listen to their input.. but sometimes I think SWE forget that they are doing things other people do not want to do which is not necessarily things other people are not capable of doing or understanding. And sometimes a non-SWE can see what is wrong with some structure of the code despite not being able to code the solution themself.
I don't know why everyone lets Gmail off the hook like this. Let's face it, Gmail is broken and has been for some time. It is time to move on.
I mean if a business's fortunes change this quickly it usually means the leadership has no clue. Their job is to be able to accurately forecast all kinds of things at least up to the next few quarters.
Not everything needs to be an absolute rule, this totally looks like a small bug on Twitter's part, and if it takes like weeks to fix then you can decide "okay that's a little more suspicious". What's the point of making this particular moment an immediate, gigantic moral issue?
Comparing people critical of Elon’s erratic behavior to Nazis is pushing things a little too far, don’t you agree?

Federal law stipulates that negative information can only stay on a credit report for 7 years although I was able to get much of it off before then. I opened up some secured cards and got some secured loans and now I have an 800 credit score and no problem getting credit. It is definitely possible to start over without leaving the country. I did have to do some research, but there are entire forums dedicated to credit repair.
Are you saying that they're lying about this claim in the article?

A masterful example of the strawman and false dichotomy.
The timing is precisely what tells me that Musk's actions are his alone. There is no right-hand person advising him from the shadows. Such a person would have told him that going on public rants about Democrats and switching his vote to Republican might have been convincing if it wasn't public knowledge that his political donations already favoured the GOP.
This makes me so, so happy! I put so much work into WebOS apps, and your site lists five of them.

> The problem of identifying if a new IP is used for spam is not easy to solve.

How is it not easy to check a reputation database for domains when evaluating a mail server?

Using DKIM records, Google could cross-reference the reputation for the sending domain and, where applicable, recognize that the domain in question has never been malicious or negligent. And in that case, extend a probationary reputation sufficient to allow the IP to establish its own new reputation.

Ad hominem attacks (name-calling) and gossip are not welcome here. If you believe Woit is a crackpot, then at least take ownership of this remark.

Don't multi-task and have work you want to do.

If you're multi-tasking then you're doing a lot of crap work that should be automated, or at least processed sequentially. One at a time. Use a list, don't go to the next one until the task is done. If it can't be completed put it on a new list with reasons why. Follow-up. Prioritize.

If you keep getting work you don't want to do, change that. Distraction gets the best of me when I have no interest in what I'm assigned. (edit: clarity)

If you don't like what you're doing, change your relationship with it. Don't go through life just coping with your responsibilities, try to shape them to be responsibilities you enjoy doing. That might be at a new employer, new city, new significant other, etc.

Use tools (medication, timers, etc) to help build the path, but they shouldn't be the wheels you depend on to move through life. Use your head and your own two feet.
One read is that Elon and others actively want to cause a recession.
I have been told a different take. The amount of airflow over the coils is important as the compressor system also expects a certain thermal exchange (think air conditioning) and thus a certain pressure on the return.

Less air over the coils can inhibit the cooling properties, this was conveyed to me as high "head" compression pressure that can lead to premature compressor failure in the outdoor AC part, the expensive part. This is more important as the higher the SEER level, generally newer the system, the more sensitive they are to this issue. HVAC tech sold me with high head pressure expect failure of compressor in a few years.

Also you are running as efficient since the AC has to work longer burning electricity.

"Dropper posts I consider to be a gimmick." that's a pretty bold opinion. Might say more about the types of trails you ride than anything. Sure, you don't need a dropper post for a lot of simple beginner trail riding, start adding fast, technical descents with drops and such....that you also need to climb to, it'd farfrom a gimick. It allows you to have a fun enduro bike that you can climb comfortably in, and then descend like a wild-person on for maximum fun.
I could believe that carbon footprint was intended as a stalling tactic, but if that was the original intention, then it kind of backfired, because fossil fuel consumption must go down when citizens demand lower carbon footprint for the society.

To emit CO2, someone must be producing fossil fuels, and someone must be paying money to buy and burn it. IMO, everybody is responsible (some more than others), and if anyone starts arguing that it's the responsibility of (those different group of people), I get suspicious because that is a classical stalling tactic.
Agreed, I've never heard of any group self-identify as a 'cult' in modern times. The word almost always has a pejorative connotation to it.

As a funny aside, I went to look up the etymology of the word and a quotation is listed at https://www.etymonline.com/word/Cult:

"Cult is a term which, as we value exactness, we can ill do without, seeing how completely religion has lost its original signification. Fitzedward Hall, "Modern English," 1873"

It strikes me as funny because the problem with the word 'religion' is noted as far back as 1873, but I'd argue 'cult' is now even less precise than 'religion'. I don't think it was always that way. References to Roman mystery religions as 'cults' generally lack the pejorative connotation.

To the people disagreeing with this - Twitter is orders of magnitude bigger than Mastodon.

Why would they draw attention to this tiny competitor with the entirety of their media attention?

Don't you think that Twitter knows that they have a lot of watchdogs?
But what is that "extra stuff" that it does?
The data from my country looks like if there was a new immunity-escaping variant that causes even less grave symptoms than omicron. It's... well, it's not "good", I guess "validating" is the word here... so, it's "validating" to see other places following the same trend.

Here hospitalization and deaths are not following the infection curve at all. They are still following the end of the earlier omicron curve.
So how would the tracking work exactly? Does this website have trackers that other companies can access?

Is there any way to block that?
