The US never invaded Russia, so they didn’t have the kind of power they had over post WW2 Japan.

Anyways even with that kind of power, the prevailing economic ideology at the time the Soviet Union fell was of extreme neoliberalism, so I doubt it would have helped anyway.
> The West did put in nearly as much money as part of GDP in aid to early 199X Russia.

Do you have a citation for that?

JIT compiling is very powerful. It can enable optimizations like this that cause JIT-compiled programs to run even faster than pure AOT-compiled ones.

There's obviously been a lot of research on JIT compilation for Java and JavaScript (hence why they can run very fast, especially JS, despite being very dynamic languages). But what if we apply JIT techniques to already-AOT programs? We lose performance consistency (although we can keep the lower bound of the base program), but we get even faster performance, and it makes debuggers' and hot-code-reloaders' jobs easier because we already have the ability to compile and recompile code during execution.

RCCL charges, last time I checked, $20/day (which does not seem onerous for access to high speed internet on the ocean) for customers to use internet on each vessel (this might have changed, haven't been on one of their boats since COVID started). Access for crew and staff is heavily subsidized as a perk. This is more of a high volume customer selecting a vendor who can provide a better offering (versus O3b MEO [1]) at possibly a better cost (at volume) imho. TLDR SpaceX via Starlink is eating the TAM of disparate satellite data providers (Iridium via T-mobile partnership and direct US DoD sales, O3B and OneWeb via mobile terminals and high end marine/aircraft deals, etc). When you've made enough rockets, you go where the margin is (which, for global satellite comms, is ~$75B/year).

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O3b
T-Mobile's plan is "New SpaceX satellites have giant antennas that your smartphone can reach with a puny bandwidth, if you don't have cell signal you can use that satellite connection for messengers and maybe calls". Royal Caribbean's plan is "We have lots of space and power on these giant cruise ships, let's put a couple dedicated Starlink antennas on them to sell better WiFi to our passengers".

Plan 1 won't encroach on plan 2 yet, unless all you care about is Whatsapp.
> So if there are plenty of ideas and not enough money,

big chunk of the budget is spent on marketing.

if you produce something that nobody watch, it's like the sound of the tree falling where nobody can hear it.

if you know how to use AI to cut that cost, I'm all ears.

Also: Al Pacino will want his money if you use his name, even if he is not actually acting in the movie.

Reality is that there's plenty of ideas, true, that would not make any money though.

Studios don't like to work at loss.

Rick and Morty costs 1.5 million dollars per episode and from what we've heard from director Erica Hayes, a single episode takes anywhere between 9 and 12 months to create from ideation to completion
Textual Inversion is about to flip that around (if I'm understanding the paper correctly).

https://textual-inversion.github.io/
Reminds me just a bit of the Culture series, where in the distant future computing power is essential infinite. In the series, many of the great AIs of unfathomable intellect spend their free time on the "Infinite Fun Space," which is simulating universes with slightly different starting conditions and physical laws.
Why should the type of state be decisive?

The Bolsheviks wrote a constitution providing for a "union state". I doubt the framers of the Soviet Constitution actually meant what they said – it was essentially propaganda to present the Soviet Union as some kind of "voluntary association", despite the reality that there was nothing voluntary about it. While it was a federation on paper, its substance was much closer to that of a unitary state.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, the seceding union republics used their constitutional status to justify their secession as legitimate - they took the constitution's pretence literally. But, imagine in an alternative timeline, the Soviet constitution had been written without this pretence–would that have stopped the Baltic states from seceding? I really doubt it. Would it have made any difference to the legitimacy of their secession? Only on meaningless paper.

Even with the Soviet Constitution we actually had – why did the Union as a whole break-up, but not the RSFSR? That question is better answered in terms of real world power structures, than legal formalities. Chechnya fought for independence, and if Moscow had been weaker, they could have won. Even now, some would say that Ramzan Kadyrov rules Chechnya as his own quasi-independent fiefdom, and is just biding his time for the right moment to officially claim independence (maybe, if Putin were to suddenly die without a clear successor). If Chechnya were to successfully secede, that could inspire other parts of Russia to seek to emulate its example.
Even if virtual call branches are well predicted, they still have high overhead.

Yeah GCC and clang will do what you described in some cases, they will insert a check and try to make a non-virtual call when possible. But also as you mentioned, they real advantage is from the downstream optimizations that unlocks, which they cannot do.
Not have direct democracy in the early stages? The evidence is pretty clear. The US itself did not start with direct democracy.

In this context, "experimenters' sex" can only reasonably mean whether the experimenter was female or male.

The other alternative would have been them doing some experimental fucking next to the mice to see what happens. Such a paper would undoubtedly have been titled differently.
What models? I'm curious because my father is looking for a hill mower and most tracked ones I can find don't actually say their max slope which makes me think it's about the usual 15-20 degrees.

Being tracked only really solves the traction part of the equation so they aren't necessarily any better at navigating slopes safely than a wheeled mower.
For one thing, the output looks lightyears better.
Don't think lack of Marshall plan is to blame. Russian economy was totally dependent on oil and gas exports since 1970s. Very low oil prices in 1990s contributed to widespread poverty and allowed few oligarchs to scoop all the assets very cheaply. Putin's rise to power coincided, by chance only, with dramatic oil price recovery. So people learned to correlate good life with a strong leader, and poverty - with democracy.
It looks pretty good, but I’d love to see you make better use of the routines already in numpy. In particular, I see you are solving the OLS problem using direct inversion when you already have QR and SVD available to just call. There are other simple things that can do a lot for your results, centering, scaling, etc, too. I guess it works well enough for small well behaved problems as is though.
The free inflight messaging that T-Mobile offered was just a "free offer for customers of T-Mobile" deal on services provided by an in-flight internet provider. Basically a "free doordash premium subscription for chase sapphire reserve customers" type of a deal.

Regardless if you are a T-Mobile customer using that deal or not at all, you join the in-plane WiFi AP, it goes to the captive portal, and there you get options like "tmobile customers offer", "single flight pass", and "monthly flight pass". Once you pick your option and get through it, you have internet access. And regardless which option you went with, you get the exact same type of internet connection as everyone else on that flight.

From what I've personally seen, it was done through GoGo Inflight Internet[0] heavy majority of the time.

perfectly understandable sentiment, the guy debased himself so much he turned up in a literal pizza hut commercial. (https://youtu.be/fgm14D1jHUw). As a rule of thumb, the popularity of any foreign leader in the American press is a pretty good measurement of how eagerly they're willing to drive their own countries into submission.
My thought is that the servicer can show Harm my having fewer loans to service. That would give them standing to sue that the whole process was done improperly and that Biden does not actually have the authority to cancel student loans.

I tried use Paperspace Gradient "Growth" plan for Teams. The product was so buggy it was unusable. Their support and engineers were wonderful to talk to, but they admitted that there are a lot of features that just don't work and they don't have the bandwidth to fix them. It seems like an early product and I wouldn't recommend it if you need something dependable, at least not now. I would love to work with them in the future if the stability improves.

You're aware that the "much better" transition of the GDR was still a giant disaster, yes?(https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15487733.2020.1...)

And the GDR still got the best deal of all of the ones you mentioned. But there's massive inequality, massive unemployment. (And as a result, extremism, political fatigue, corruption, etc)
Exactly.

Ditto for the goons. If your main skill is sociopathic violence and physical strength, why not use those your talents to intimidate and exploit the workers for your boss’s benefit?
If there is semantic meaning in where your options are (or you want to assign it anyway) then an automatically generated diagram is probably a bad fit.

FWIW, Vietnam and Iraq can be considered as US allies (or at least "partners").
"Powered by the apocalypse" based games are a great suggestion I think. I've only played, rather than DM-ing, but from what I could see it seemed like they really emphasized the player driven nature of the experience in a way that, at least to me, looked like it should reduce the amount of DM prep required (definitely interested in DM perspectives though, maybe the improv nature of the system makes it more stressful).

It's probably worth adding that this is no longer the case.

Live in Poland, muggings aren't really a thing, and according to the "what worries the world" monthly polls of ipsos[0], poles are the nation that least worries about violence and crime (it was surprising for me to see the effect is that strong), with only 5% worrying about it.

I've read somewhat opposite account, that there was a complete Lisp/Dylan system available, but there were issues both political and hardware related that ultimately led to C++ (which was then hot new stuff still) being used with NewtonScript on top.
In the context of how rodents respond to such scents, I think it is currently unknown whether a male on a long-term feminising hormone treatment would still produce a sufficiently male-type scent, or a female-type scent.
thank you for the advice, I do appreciate it, as I'm no expert in open source. one thing to clarify is the idea that we're tying a bow and chucking it across the fence. we'll be far from finished when we open source d2. the intention was to internally seed the initial design (of both the language and the code) -- the first minute of building -- quickly, within a small team. i'm really grateful for all the interest today from everyone, hopefully HN will let me post the repo to update people shortly (w/o considering it a dupe).

I known there is a guy at work that already uses starlink for his home internet service (he lives out in the middle of nowhere). Could he keep using starlink while traveling, including on a cruise ship, without incurring any additional costs?
Self driving cars are on the road. Any two people on Earth are able to trustlessly transmit value between them using Bitcoin. You seem cynical.

I was going to make a note in my first post about 3d printing but I forgot. In my opinion 3d printing cannot be a solution until metal 3d printing is cheap. For the blender example, do you really want to use a handmade blender consisting of a hacked together motor, blade, and glass? this seems like a recipe for disaster. For things that are 100% plastic, ie. basically the only type of thing a 3d printer can reliably produce, even then with required knowledge, planned obsolescence is less of an issue already. Plastic goods are either throw-away or durable enough for what they are (eg. a hairbrush).

With regards to the cnc machine, yes it is more doable, but now with more time, money and knowledge required. Open source appliances are definitely not bad -- I can't imagine a downside to them -- but they can't do the same thing that open source software does.
- chocolatey for installing apps (most of what I need anyway)

- WSL for command line stuff, python, rust

- bleachbit for clean up of files, be careful and pay attention obviously

- Immediately switch over to firefox (from Edge) and have brave installed as a backup

- I just don't use the microsoft store at all unless I need to

- malwarebytes for nightly scans, avira free as a virus program instead of defender

- Shutup10++ to turn off most of the privacy invasion antifeatures of windows

- Make notepad++ or gvim default editor

- You can delay or turn off updates in the settings. I just live with the reboots though. I have a fast machine and most programs will have session save features anyway.

That's mostly enough to make it a decent environment.
Many "overly educated" (for lack of nice way to say it) just seem to often waste time on idealistic issues. It would take a while to give a decent example, but they just seem to not understand the business world and capitalism. The Newton example is not applicable because it's usually not about discovery, but weighing tradeoffs. I don't mind their personal R&D, just don't make the customer pay for or wait too long for the R&D. After work, they can invent all they want.
> D2 has no diagram types. In other tools, you specify "this is a class diagram", or "this is a state diagram". One of the goals of D2's design is to have minimal syntax that you compose with.

I think this can be really difficult...?

I was fiddling with RDF and N-ary relationships some time ago, but the easiest way to express a complex relationship is to pre-define the whole relationship as an entity, and relate it to actual entities. This ends up with something similar to function call (e.g. score(subject: playerA, object: playerB, using: weapon, when: time)) or RDBMS tables.

But "no DSL-in-DSL" should be a right direction. The core language should be carefully designed to allow modular approaches.
It's the same TOS exception that video game companies get when they patch their own games: none. Because none is required.

I saw that Pizza Hut commercial earlier today and I can't stop thinking about it. It has so much going on. It's the victory of capitalism over Soviet communism, the rise of neoliberalism to global hegemony, and the "End of History" in the form of a 30-second ad for pizza.
AHK's prime utility seems like hacking optimizations on inefficient-for-power-users gui software.

It kind of makes sense then that this was made for and got popular on windows, because that OS is absolutely rife with annoying gui software written for the lowest common denominator of user.

An interesting trick pioneered I think on OpenBSD was to encrypt the spilled stack. Even simple XOR was enough to prevent easy manipulation of stack by malware.
He wanted to keep the USSR intact but also understood that was no longer an option. I'm sure he would have accepted to be PM of Russia but he was considered part of the "communist regime" and wasn't the one standing on the tanks (lets ignore the fact that Yeltin was also part of the communist regime), so that didn't happen.
Google still can't reliably figure out that an email from jpm0r4ncha$e telling me how much money I've won is spam. Once they nail that down, then maybe I'll step inside one of their self driving cars. Until then, I'll laugh at the video where the Tesla flattens a child-sized mannequin.

I believe the "RV" version of the service costs more but lets you move around over land- but they charge even more if you want to use it at sea.

The reason is that SpaceX only can support so many users in a given region because each satellite has limited bandwidth.

There are other ways of cleaning bulk cash. Buying real estate in developing countries, for instance. I just thought that once the money is in the legit banking system, as it would have to be for a startup to accept it as funding, it's clean enough. I hadn't considered sanctions though.
Roads are vastly more expensive than transit per trip. If having the busses and trains full avoids yet another widening then taxes go down, and the rural + urban areas stop subsidizing the suburbs.
No. The "travel in an RV" otherwise meaning traveling outside of your home cell is extra. And the maritime version is $5,000/month
Cruises were one of the last places in the developed world where people could be completely disconnected from the internet. I used to go on yearly transatlantic cruise vacations. As someone who works online, I never feel "on vacation" unless I'm fully offline. That's becoming harder and harder these days. While I do think this is a cool technology, on a personal level, I'm mourning the loss of one of the last truly disconnected spaces in our world.
This distinction is made at least since 1995: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/13260820/ - distinguishing between sex as physical/physiological characteristics and gender as psychological ones.

>Isn’t it a bit late to do something like this tied to X?

At the moment, Wayland is used only by a minority of users, and most are still on X11. Sure, distros may often default to Wayland, yet almost no distro has switched the user's default upon upgrading.

Most users aren't new users or installing on new systems, and even for new users X is occasionally still default (e.g. every existing BSD, some KDE distros).

I estimate it's another 5 years before another new computer cycle and Wayland maturing will make X less relevant. 15-25-more years before we could even consider removing support.
> No, it's not. Please refrain from this kind of personal comment.

Well, GS has drawn their line in the sand. No clue what "bankers" do as that's not my gig. But there's IT people in there somewhere, I assume, and those are the ones I'd be concerned about - it's a good time for them to find alternate work. Those keeping systems running don't strike me as customer-facing personnel, and we'll see whether GS sees them as important or merely the low-level peons that just get in the way.

Oh, I assume GS has had horrible quarters since Covid since nobody has been in the office? Cuz if they didn't, it's power-trips and real estate talkin'.
