the one distinguishing difference is loitering capability of a drone.

most missiles are not capable of loitering today. But i guess if missiles of tomorrow start getting such capabilities, then the line between a drone and a missile might blur even more.

The State of Java After Java 17
I had an interesting chat with a bit player who's at the center of a Bay Area business ecosystem: the proprietor of http://executiveseating.com who buys hundreds of used chairs from larger older companies, stores them in an East Bay warehouse, then sells them individually to smaller newer companies. My own newer, smaller business bought a couple.

Side note: He did say not all of his sources of chairs are businesses going out of business. Some are just moving from one office to another. The companies find it easier to design new locations with entirely new furniture, sell him everything from the old location (probably also use the opportunity to shrink each individual workspaces)

I'd say that the best solution would be to just rename 12 to 0, which is what it already should have been IMO, regardless of am/pm.

I've noticed some digital watches use 0:00AM instead of 12:00AM, but I've never seen this used for 0:00PM.
I think if the U.S. had any influence in Pakistan, they would have used it before 2021 to stop the incessant support by Pakistan for the Taliban in Afghanistan. And they would have also used it to have Pakistan hand over bin Laden who was being sheltered in Abbotabad, within walking distance of a Pakistani military academy.
If the U.S. government got zero cooperation from the Pakistani government in those areas, I doubt they have the influence to get rid of the prime minister over some insignificant matter like whatever Khan did.

Agreed.

Something that always felt strange upon seeing critiques of Apple's execution of guaranteed self-repair rights is that those critics are complaining about cost, about money.

To whom I say: Bitch, you asked/demanded Right To Repair and y'all finally got Right To Repair. Money shouldn't be a concern, because that was never part of the demands. If you are going to forsake self-repair because it's (relatively) cheaper to get Apple to do it instead, you never truly cared about Right To Repair.

Right To Repair was never about fixing something for cheaper than the OEM, it has always been about having a practical and realistic option to effect repairs yourself. How much it ends up costing you is an unrelated matter.

Apple probably already use RISC-V designs somewhere in their hardware stack. But the ISA will remain ARM for a long long time.

Even Apple Silicon has a ton of stock ARM cores to control various SoC tasks.

If your key leaks you have bigger problems. Passwords are just as vulnerable to those same problems. Both should be encrypted.

If you leave password enabled you need to harden the env as you be getting git by every script kiddy the second your public IP is ready.

You shouldn't be logging into these systems manually either - you should be provisioning them with the OS's default config tools like Ubiquiti or Cloud-init, storing the configs and creds in encrypted formats and the feeding them to chef/puppet/Ansible or any other configuration management tool.

Humans shouldn't be fucking with production systems, they should be making commits to git that are applied by automated systems.
I would love to hear your experiences as a corrections officer at a max sec prison. Any book you recommend to read about experiences at prisons?
I disagree. Given a drone high enough that it can’t be shot down with anti aircraft cannons, it must be shot down with a missile. Make the payload powerful enough that it can create damage of much higher cost than the missile, and the defender will be forced to use the missile. Now, optimize these high altitude drones for the lowest cost, and send them in a swarm. Send them during cloud cover, and a land based laser will be ineffective. Coupled with a CRPA antenna, these GPS guided drones would be hard to stop. As long as you can produce these drones for cheaper than the defensive missile, the attacker wins.
This seems to be quite a shallow analysis. Evaluating a technology for use at scale requires a whole-system analysis of the core material factors; Resource use, energy use, and labour. Price is insufficient and often irrelevant. Also, when trying to solve urgent problems like climate change, it is a bad idea to rely on projected technological developments and cost reductions that may materialise too late or never.
Again, I’m not saying that sockets are entirely bad but remember that the claim here is that this was just a cash grab when there are valid engineering trade offs. You’ve been lucky at n=small but DIMM failures was a relatively well-known thing to troubleshoot - notably more common for laptops which see more shock & vibration - and while having that expansion capability is certainly nice, it also made the system slower over the course of its lifetime. I don’t love the RAM constraints either[1] but picking something which is smaller, faster, and more durable is a very defensible engineering call and I think portraying that as a cynical cash grab is more intellectually lazy than we should expect around here. Notice how the person I replied to has been unable to engage with this at all beyond cheap shots which are indistinguishable from the posts you’d have found in some PC vs. Mac thread 3 decades ago.

What are you talking about? Most lithium either comes from conventional mining in Australia or from underground salt water in deserts that is evaporated.

The first is no more polluting then any other type of mining.

The second can cause some problems but I would call it polluting.

So what are you actually referring to?
More-so than that, I see a conflation and confusion on the different stakeholders and components of Tornado Cash, on both sides of the ML/privacy split you describe.

Note that the TC smart contracts are completely autonomous now (no entity with privileged permission or receiving a fee). They are truly non-custodial and necessary functionality is either executing on-chain or locally on the client.

So a user can make full use of tornado cash suite (smart contracts + UI) without ever having to interact with or pay a fee to anyone involved in the project.

Now, if a user withdraws manually, they will still need to submit a withdraw transaction and pay some ETH for gas (transaction cost), which will link that ETH with the withdrawn funds. So there is a chicken-and-egg problem here. To solve this, the UI integrates with a network of relayers who will facilitate the withdrawal transaction and cover the gas for a percentage fee. Relayers aren't hardcoded in the UI or smart contract and users can choose their own third-party relayer. The relayer network is permissionless and autonomous as well - anyone who sets up the software and commits enough funds will be one. In newer versions of the TC UI, only relayer nodes which have staked a minimal amount of TORN tokens are showed for selection, and there is a ranking and preference of relayers who have higher amounts staked.

This relaying, on the other hand, can absolutely be seen as a service. There could be a case for ML to have against that network of relayers. And potentially (though this is new territory for courts I think) TORN token holders and/or governance participants. This clear separation between the components and stakeholders and the removal of the need of privileged actors is precisely what makes TornadoCash different from legacy mixers.

I think it's very unfortunate that even people in the space characterize this TC as such as a "service", as I think it's best viewed as "not a service" - to this point, there are no service providers apart from the serving of the self-hostable client web UI. Which is optional. It's hard to tell in which cases this is a conscious oversimplification and in which cases people aren't aware of the nuance.

If I'm allowed to make a rough comparison from the best of my understanding to Bittorrent for those who remember the TPB saga:

Ethereum nodes: Bittorrent DHT
Tornado Cash UI: Bittorrent client in a web UI
Tornado Cash smart contracts: software executing in the "DHT" (by every node)
Relayer server-side API (old UI): Bittorrent tracker
TORN DAO smart contract (new UI): Bittorrent tracker, except there's no server anymore and it all executes in the DHT

Having the DHT stand in for blockchain is not fully accurate of course but should hopefully get the major point across. Makes sense?

It really doesn’t matter. Most applications are written in non native languages like Node, C#, Java, and Python.

If you have native dependencies, even if you are on the same architecture, you’re going to run into issues developing and building packages if if isn’t the same operating system.

How do you refuel at sea or even anchored near port? The recent West Coast US delays would be an example of a situation of that, along with the Suez Canal delay.

How do batteries disperse/degrade or get recovered at sea when the inevitable cargo loss or hull loss occurs?

Possibly the answer to both of those is systemic - but it is at least that.
No, since the image itself is irrelevant. It matters how despised a person is by the general populace. Any slightly believable incriminating visual will do as an explanation if the public is already predisposed.

Thankfully, these pictures are much better than anything Photoshop can produce. Sadly, it's a part of a larger trend where we're getting more and more tools to create, modify, and exchange information, while the tools for analysis and filtering information are at least 50 years behind.

The unreal studio makes it easy to give a natural lighting to elaborate sets like those of star wars. Also less green screen needed.

But those sets are relatively small and it forces each scene to have a small circular area for the actor in the middle to act. Even for large scenes tend to feel like all the action is happening in the middle.
Exactly. The output is some models you can dump into any of a number of inference engines. The hard part is learning/training, & NV's constant work to make proprietary well featured toolkits keeps tbe world hooked on their devices for machine learning. It's a wildly good strategy, of a rarely practiced path of non-cooperatively giving away software for free.
Ask HN: What's an apolitical News Source?
Everything I read these days is dark. The podcasts I listen to are dark. Maybe the world's dark but I'd rather come to that conclusion myself than have someone with a political view try to cajole me into it... and I suspect a reason why so many people are in a dark place emotionally is that the cajoling is profitable. I'm not looking for good news network nonsense, or to bury my head in the sand. I've always been a voracious reader of news and history. I read dozens of articles daily, left and right (Guardian/Fox, Vox/Commentary, BBC/France24, WaPo/Ny Post, etc). I sure try my best to distill some truth and fact from all this pathologically slanted garbage, but I see right through the appeals to emotion and fear on both sides. And with increasing frequency I find I can't pull any meaningful signal from the pre-crafted message.

So long story short, where do you go to find something as simple as current, world-wide journalism, and unadulterated facts?
The amount of glue is a balancing act.

Too little glue and a perfectly working battery might start to jiggle around.

Too much glue and it's a bit harder to replace a non-working battery.

I'm guessing that a good 99% of laptops never have their battery replaced. Thus they've optimised for the first case.
Unless one of those reasons is persistent government requests/pressure on Microsoft/Github. Then it's a convenient way around first amendment protections.
Indeed. Energy sometimes escapes its confines. This usually results in fire.

The failure modes of EV batteries are probably quite different to those on ships (ships don't collide with other things nearly as often as cars collide with other things, for one). I'm sure ships have their own issues (e.g. falling into disrepair due to lax regulation requirements at the lowest-priced-ports-of-convenience), but you can't really compare an EV ship with an EV car.
There are a multitude of form factors and a drone can take that aren't that of a missile.

Considering how dirty the fuel used to power such ships is, this would be a boon indeed (discounting from whatever effects it might have on the cost and availability of resources required to electrify other parts of transportation, of course).
Ooh, I think I found something like that too , a few years ago. I searched for a song (a real one, that I already knew) called "Dyson Sphere". That search still yields a few hits.

One of those was by an artist called Adal, and while it wasn't what I was looking for at all, I still listened to it. It was slow, rythmic and very simple music (think "human music"). When I looked for other works of this Adal, they had maybe like 8 songs, all of them the same simple melody but slightly different speed, rhythm and so on. At first I thought I was listening to that same song, but there definitely were slight differences.

At the time I didn't understand why anyone would produce such a thing, but in this context it makes much more sense.

I just searched again for Adal - Dyson Sphere, but there seem to be no hits. I wonder if the artist has since been deleted.

Scientology holds their non-newbie teachings as, essentially, trade secrets. You only get to see them after you pay a lot of money to "advance" in their ranks. Somebody - presumably a disgruntled insider - started publishing some of their texts on alt.scientology. Scientology tried to stop them by automated (or very rapid human) cancels, with forged "from" fields. Posts on the board got "visited by the cancel bunny". Then people calling themselves "rabbit hunters" tried to figure out who was the source(s) of the cancel messages.

But it got knarlier than that. Scientology's texts were copyrighted; they had police seize the servers of people who put copies of the texts online.

Yes a standard agreement such as that is expected and customary, and they have it for good reasons. However it is not strictly required in order to make use of user-submitted content.

Also as I have pointed out in other comments, this is a contract, and as such there are quite a few reasons that a contract like this might not be binding. One major weakness is its semblance to a "click through agreement". An agreement hidden in the footer of a website or in the fine print on a registration page is even more subtle than that and it's entirely possible build a case against implicit agreements that automatically kick in through mere use of a web service. There is considerable case law devoted to this and it's gone both ways - depending on the specific facts of the case, who makes the better argument, and the disposition of the judge.
Yes, but it's not a big deal if an oil tanker, or any other oil-powered ship catches fire.

However, it's possible that a battery-powered ship could catch fire, so we need to avoid this technology and stick with oil.

You don't get it. Your blindness is laid bare by this example.

You present this example to me as if the truth doesn't even matter. WHY did the person throw the rock? That is the truth behind it all. Seems like a critical part of a hypothetical situation that is entirely missing from your example.

Your biases are so strong that you didn't even feel a need to mention it. It's like talking about a flying turtle without describing why or how the turtle can fly. You inserted so much emotion and violence into this hypothetical situation that basically you are blinded by the fact that it's missing a critical point.

And that is the essence of what I'm talking about. A state of mind. If you can't view the situation neutrally. Then you are crippled. Forever blind from asking the critical question and realizing the ultimate truth.

But let's be straight here. The OP of this article is not in an emotionally charged situation. She's a neutral arbiter observing a changing world shielded from all the flying rocks being thrown all over the place. And from this neutral vantage point she makes a choice... she says, I choose to be biased... I choose to lie to myself... I choose to be an optimist.
