If Ukraine had any smart politicians who really understood what NAM did, neither superpower would be launching missiles on Ukraine. Neither NAM nor UN makes a difference if one does not have experienced politicians who genuinely care about their countrymen.

From what I have read about independent Ukraine's short political history, only Leonid Kuchma stands out as the smartest Ukranian politician so far. He seemed to understand an important political axiom that all good politicians abide by - there are no permanent enemies, only future opponents and allies. That's why he worked to develop a good relationship with Russia as well as improve ties with the west. He understood the importance of not getting caught between the egos of the superpowers while also using their rivalry for Ukraine's benefit, without antagonising both. That is how he managed to create a stable economic climate to initiate economic growth and reform for a brief period.

After him, Ukraine just seems to have had a string of shitty politicians - some who didn't know how to manage foreign powers interfering in their domestic politics and some who were willing to sacrifice their country's interest and work with foreign powers to be in political power at any cost.

> Ukraine with its standing army and modern military equipment will be among the most powerful European countries at the end of this war

It is very naive of you to believe that UK, France or Germany will allow that.
Thanks for dropping a citation, when the CPU cost is low and the code is on Github it's relatively easy to add a tool or two to a script if you're benchmarking. (IMHO)

But speaking as a paranoid hacker: why is it more common to run unknown code in the graphics world than others?

|I've noticed a lot of trust in that community, versus the felonious infosec mantra of "oh, you typed something from the internet into the terminal without understanding it? Of course someone stole everything on your hard drive, why didn't you've have seven layers of veracrypt volume around your diary or whatever?" mentality.

I don't know a ton about image visualization, but I'm super appreciative of tools like GIMP and VLC that save me time and money in a variety of ways.

(Remember back when downloading a keygen meant risking a trojan? Or is that something the next generation of hackers has only heard about in stories? :-) )
IANAL but I'd like a license that goes something like this:

Companies: If you are working for a company/corporation/profit-generating entity, or otherwise intend to sell or use such code derived from this repository for profit-generating purposes, you shall not be permitted to use any of the source code herein until you email me (author email here) and we can come up with the appropriate terms and conditions for your use case.

Everyone else: Have fun!

Obviously it's missing some necessary edge cases and disclaimers, but yeah.
Yep, exactly - I was so taken aback by this. Just this random segue, without any relation to anything else, then back to Top Gun??? Like, wow.
El Diablo and Murcielago were also fighting bulls.
My first thought in that case would be to store fragments in multiple semi-trusted places that don't know which other semi-trusted places are involved with Shamir's Secret Sharing so "knowing what a majority of the semi-trusted places even are" is a prerequisite to recovery.
That's not a problem a standard can solve.
The mistakes are already happening. There are RISC-V processors being shipped with unfinished extensions and weird MMUs and now Linux has to decide whether to support those or only support finished standards
Actually writing a self-contained parser (in essence a function parse :: [Binary] -> AST) is one of the things where Haskell shines. You could use `attoparsec` (and to start off, even using the stdlib's https://hackage.haskell.org/package/parsers-0.12.11/docs/Tex... can get you very far).

And I say that as someone, whose top-rated comment in this thread is more or less a Haskell rant.

> For example .gov is impossible to get for non-US entities

I'll gladly concede this point. I do agree that ICANN favors the US for .gov (and .mil). It would definitely be preferable if these weren't approved at all or at least weren't restricted to US entities.

> Likewise .com typically implies US, as affirmed by the .com.mx, etc variants

I responded to this in my previous comment. As far as I know there wasn't a decision to systematically favor US companies, so I'm not sure what this has to do with US imperialism. There are many websites in the UK and other countries that use .com, even if it's still far more common for US entities, and there's nothing stopping more from doing so.
Ask HN: How do you stick to long-term goals?
When you are pursuing a goal that takes a very long time to reach, how do you stick with it?

After the honeymoon phase, there are no more surprises, no more mind-paradigm-changing knowledge, not that much growth.

Just a slow, no-end-in-sight slugging for what seems like forever.

Especially when you are alone and it does not provide you with immediate rewards like money or praise. Or you don't get paid to do it.

I find such situations very difficult and often quit. (This did cost me multiple times in the past.) But I don't want to. I want to stick with something for a long period.

How do I do it? Any advice or book suggestions?

> Geopolitically interconnected trade is all well and good in theory, but putting two superpowers at odds

one impression i get is that perhaps economists and leaders thought they could just leave everything to the market - interconnectedness economically through world-wide ("free" market) capitalism - and then they could politically hang up their hats so-to-speak (everything would take care of itself) because everyone would reach great prosperity

obviously, as we have seen in the past 40 years, both within and without there has been alot of economic turmoil (economic crisis) instead of pure prosperity and it turns out politicians couldn't outsource their jobs to the market

countries and regions need to politically strive for peace, cooperation and friendship, the market and trade isn't enough imo

Yes, if the vast majority of the users in the network come to clear consensus on forking the protocol to enact a single change, they can do so. This is not a bad thing, it’s similar to how we fork our laws in the real world as we realize they contain pitfalls and loopholes.

This is very different from individual transaction disputes on a VISA-like protocol, and the DAO fork doesn’t suggest that transaction level disputes are in particularly high demand (in 7 years this happened one time on the network, and you call that demand? lol).
Sibling comment has a good point, this number includes everyone from software engineers to kitchen staff. Very few of my direct peers have left and the Google is growing still.
it takes time, discoveries made 100s of years ago only became useful later on, and in ways nobody knew, the more we understand fundamentals the better it's unquestionably.
Existing storage is, by a very large margin, pumped hydro. Current hydro storage is mostly shared with hydro generation reservoirs, all of which encompass a watershed. New pumped hydro often uses just an elevated depression, dammed box canyon, or even a diked level spot -- no watershed needed -- and can bank sea water.

Storage as anhydrous ammonia or liquified hydrogen is attractive because tankage is cheap and transportable, and it can be burned in existing turbines or sold to other utilities or to industry as feedstock, fertilizer, or fuel. International shipping is has begun converting to ammonia fuel.

Storage as liquified nitrogen is similarly attractive. The production equipment is very mature tech. LN2 is boiled in ambient air to drive a turbine.

Underground compressed air is attractive because it is simple and cheap. Extraction is via turbines, optionally spiked with fuel.

Underground hydrogen is common because it is simple and slots into existing NG infrastructure.

Various underwater methods -- compressed air, evacuated-cavity, buoyancy -- are very cheap if the mechanical parts remain onshore.

Battery chemistries competing with lithium use cheaper, often heavier, sometimes less inflammable materials. Iron, molten metal, sodium-ion, "flow".

In all cases, the determiner of competitiveness is economics. It is far from clear which aspects will dominate, and which will end up cheapest in them. Batteries cost per max MWh stored. Some cost per max MW in or out, with cheap tankage. Some are very cheap to construct and add onto. Some produce saleable surplus. Round-trip efficiency is all over the map, and in some is improving fast. Round-trip efficiency doesn't matter like it did when top-line generation was costly.

One thing we know is that Energy Vault, a $2B market-cap property, will not be in the mix.
> my interpretation of the parent's comment is that the USB-IF would never have thought to work on USB-C at all until Lightning's release two years earlier

it's actually worse than that, there was extensive discussion of what to do next since micro-B was still obviously flawed, they just couldn't reach a consensus to take any action even after years of debate.

the thing to remember is that USB-IF isn't a benevolent organization of technology companies working together to set a direction for the future - many of them are primarily interested in reducing their own costs, which is why we got the "USB 3.x Gen 2x2 Wave 2: USB Harder" crap. Many of the players at USB-IF are specifically interested in stalling progress as long as it saves them 30 cents on their BOM.
ah dirty ice cream
The trick is to then store it somewhere that anybody who came into posession of it would be unable to figure out -what- master key it was for.

If a friend of mine has an arbitrary chunk of ASCII stored under their google contacts under a name only they and I recognise, absent rubber hose cryptoanalysis of them it's not going to be an issue, and frankly I don't consider that relevant to my threat model - if somebody's -that- excited about my accounts they'll start with the rubber hose on me at which point all bets are already off.
> electronics being the exception

You say this like it's a minor thing. In fact practically any product of real value in 2022 has to include advanced electronics. What this means is that the US manufacturing capacity is, with a few exceptions, based on legacy products that have for some reason being difficult to offshore (I imagine big household appliances, etc).

Before folks panic, this is not about requiring test results to pass to merge in a repo, but rather requiring a particular CI job/config to be in all repos on the server.

It's questionable that they are moving this up a tier, but this feature really does seem like it makes the most sense as a compliance feature and all compliance features are 'Ultimate' already. Any other usage seems like it could be replaced by adding an 'include' directive to the relevant jobs.

I think just renting a machine and installing your own software/OS is also beneficial to using cloud services from a privacy perspective, e.g. running your own NextCloud on Hetzner or the likes.
I think OP's point was that THEY failed miserably. Presumably, they reached for Haskell to begin with because they knew it's supposed to shine for things like writing parsers. Maybe they were making a point about learning curve or FUX with Haskell...not sure since OP didn't elaborate.
You are totally right. For these specific use cases you probably want full control. :) I guess if you have these requirements a tool like SetOps, which simplifies the management, might not be the right fit then.

Although some of these requirement, like running specific workloads on specific instance types, could easily be implemented.
If it's also efficient, sounds interesting.

Either you can use the internet than you don't need that note.

You need internet to actually verify and take ownership of the value of it.

It only helps if the giver doesn't have internet.

And sure it's easier to smuggle this one note over a border than a suitcase bout you could smuggle actually anything with an offline wallet in it like USB stick, CD etc.

I absolutely recommend JXL. It is developed by the JPEG Group as a successor to JPEG2000 and performs better in nearly every metric (big exception currently being encoder speed). JPEG2000 isn't really widely supported, but does have many more libraries available.

So unless you expect library availability and/or encoder speed to hurt adoption, go for JXL.
I was one of the Nintendo switch commenters in this thread - the problem I have is standardising on the connector without enforcing the underlying standards. This doesn't fix the charging problem or the cable problem, it just means that the all devices fit together, even if they don't actually deliver what they're supposed to.
Stores easily make up for the CC fees on volume because it is so much easier for consumers to impulse buy. In fact stores are now happily offering "buy now, pay later" deals that cost them much more in fees than CCs because it boosts volume even more than CCs. CC companies are scrambling to catch up there.

Merchants grumble because that's what merchants do, but they are coming out way ahead anyway. There was (maybe still is) a cash only restaurant/bar in Boulder back when I lived there. The food and beer were great. They probably could have done an order of magnitude more business if they charged $0.18 more per burger and took CCs. Instead they had an ATM that probably charged the customer 10%. They weren't sticking it to the man, but they sure were sticking it to their customers.
How did they agree on what the exchange rate should be? From my understanding, the answer was almost always plunder among the primitive societies or a tyrant/king enforcing a monetary system. There was really no bartering amongst equals across communities.
It's not slower than scanning, but I still spend a significant amount of time waiting for the maximum compression PNG encoding to complete.
Decide for yourself. Mayer Rothschild died 100 years before the creation of the Federal Reserve. Banking in his time was extremely different.

Monetary policy in the US is federally regulated by the Federal Reserve. Their meeting minutes, votes, etc are all public information. We all benefit from this regulation. Because of it, banks are forced to disclose their finances as part of their SEC filings. Ever notice how they claim to care about the environment and the Paris Agreements and yet their investments in oil and gas have increased in the last couple of years?

Some people have because regulation does work some times.

Why Infrastructure Is So Expensive (2017)
Tesla FSD Beta has a body with sensors (cameras) and actuators (engine/wheels/steering). Does that count as embodiment?
In this case I don't think AGPL does what you want; it's oriented towards SaaS but this project is a bootloader.
That's what I think too. It's not that a body is needed for building an AGI, but it's probably much easier to develop one on top of whatever basic software that can control a "body" that interacts with the environment.

Or maybe they can brute-force intelligence from a computer, I don't know.
Can't you instantly run the check electronically since the routing/account numbers are right there. I suppose you would need to pay for a POS terminal that does that, which might not be worth it.
I'd offer a less technical criticism on the economic and monetary system you defend.

At the end of the day, now matter what happens, somehow the system always calibrates to ensure that the typical human being is a wage slave for life. Spectacular improvements in productivity and technology are somehow never returned to the worker, the system then just increases the cost of living, or creates new jobs, many of no real purpose.

It's a system to both maximize work and consumption, which is as anti-economical as it gets. It's also a system that crashes when it doesn't grow. It's also a system that completely ignores every externality and wrecks everything in its path.

But yes, I'm sure you're right that from within this system, everything you say is technically correct.

There is a version of the story here where Enzo is not wrong.

His #1 focus was building cars that won races. He was clear about that. And people bought his car because they won races. Lamborghini made amazing cars... that did not win many races.

There are not many accounts of Enzo being a likeable person, or a great engineer, or even a particularly good business man. But it wasn't a "mistake" how he treated Ferruccio's ideas.

So, maybe the moral of the story is listen to your customers. But it could also be: don't compromise and you'll still do fine, and they will go out and make what they want.
it's always interesting to me that people ignore the ecological impact of cables. If you break four cables over the life of the phone from plugging/unplugging, and that results in 2 or 3 additional Amazon Prime trips to deliver your cables, how does that compare in terms of environmental impact to wasting 5 additional watts for the 1 hour a day you charge your phone?

(and don't tell me everybody uses Amazon Prime day shipping... people just order new cables when they break. And sure, you can have one common pool of all your cables... sort of! except for the part where cable X or charger X doesn't fast-charge device Y, so you actually need several pools of chargers and cables...)
The US also has to take antitrust seriously so that there aren’t single points of failure at a corporate level.

Geographically it’s a huge country so really would benefit from having factories scattered around the country/NAFTAland. Even if some of them clustered in a preferential region (lumber in Canada, car parts in Mexico, certain foodstuff is in California) it offers some risk.

Remember when a fire in a single factory in Japan crippled the semiconductor industry world wide a few years ago?

That's a separate subject to anti-competitive oligopolies. Let me doubt people are loyal to lightbulb manufacturers and that the situation is remotely comparable to one of the most powerful and well established consumer brands in history.

But since you brought up this subject, why should I care consumer brands are exercising their pricing power for as long as I have access to the low-margin alternatives? People paying $5 for takeout coffee at Starbucks doesn't affect me in any way. It would affect me if Coke and Starbucks prohibited the existence of competitors or extinguished them, but that isn't the case (for these examples at least, such anti-competitive behaviors do exist) as you have yourself implicitly noted in your comment.
