>Do Ukraine and the West have a course of action in case of a total energy blackout in Ukraine right before the winter [1]?

While Russia's attacks on Ukraine's power and heating infrastructure are vile and evil and designed to hurt civilians, I do believe that the West has many plans to help the people of Ukraine who are displaced and at-risk due to Russia's warcrimes.

This also includes the reality that the Russian's are attempting to destroy nuclear facilities to create a massive regional fallout event, another breathtakingly evil war crime.

> It seems to me that the local success in Kharkiv is not possible to expand onto other regions without significant army loss, because the adversary is energy-independent and is able to continue indefinitely as long as their army doesn't lose its military or as long as their losses a xN fewer than Ukraine's.

This doesn't make any sense. Russia is not "energy-independent", quite contrary, they require supply lines for fuel to keep the vehicles moving just like everyone else. The Russian supply lines have been notoriously bad this war, which is arguably the #1 reason for the poor Russian performance. (Although American intelligence tracks all Russian supply movement in Ukraine, and American HIMARS can hit any target in Ukraine, so the Ukrainians have viciously destroyed Russian supply infrastructure from long range, forcing Russians to keep supplies far from the front).

Ukraine has just dealt a massive blow to the Russian resupply lines by taking major train hubs that the Russians, until 3 days ago, were using to resupply forces across Ukraine.

> How much military did Ukraine lose to achieve success in Kharkiv region?

Considered that there was very little reports of Russian resistance (they were in full withdrawal and not mounting any kind of stand), reports from both Ukraine and Russia show that losses over the past 3 days have been minimal for both sides.

1) Stage2 is intended as more than just fixes for stage1; It includes performance improvements, more codegen backends (direct x86/arm/wasm to avoid LLVM, C, etc.), will allow for incremental linking, hot reloading, and more.

2) The miscompilation in question is `if (false) else |capture| {}` not just `if (false)`. The latter is misinformation.

3) Miscompilations are conditional. Saying that the entire compiler is invalid given they exist is like saying rustc is invalid / can't uphold safety invariants given long standing compiler bugs allowing safe code to trigger UB / segfault [0] [1]. Both of such conclusions aren't true in practice.

Chess.com is also 25% or so owned by Magnus’s company.

Also, if chess.com had all this evidence why did they wait until after Magnus’s cryptic tweet to act on it? Do they only run their algorithms on games after Magnus makes cryptic comments on players playing the games?

The far more obvious reason is that they took these actions because they don’t want to potentially lose Magnus and his company’s involvement in the tournament.
> It's a variant of "with great power comes great responsibility".

It's not. The idea that being innocent until proven guilty frees you of responsibility is wrong. They are on separate axis. People get tried and convicted of criminal negligence causing damage, injury, death / manslaughter etc and for that matter all sorts of other criminal acts quite regularly.

Would you say somewhere like the USA where people are usually quite strongly innocent until proven guilty has a problem incarcerating enough people?

They actually right from my perspective.

It so happen that I usually do commit squashed changes to many files over code base with long and heavy legacy. I am afraid that squashed changes lose their utility for bisection search for a bug.

Yet, I required to do so. Mainly, because I can.
ofc it's real. They're saying "at this date, we wont update it anymore". The router still works, it just isn't updated anymore.

If i had an old product, there's also some point where i'd say "I wont be updating this anymore", as to phase it out. Expecting something to receive active support forever is unreasonable.
5 years is also shockingly short to me for a piece of networking hardware. One more reason to avoid Cisco.

Even better, there isn’t even a claim that he cheated.

All we have is Magnus quitting the tournament after losing and cryptically retweeting Moutinho saying “I cannot say more”.

For all we know Magnus quit because he has a bad case of diarrhea and finds it embarrassing to talk about that.
Watch out, ideology is blinding you. Base load is very much a real concept: how much you need to have available at all times for your society to function. Your industry to run, your critical services, etc. You can make multiple layers (just running the government, industries, having heating available at all times, etc), and they vary over the year, but base load is absolutely a real thing.

Additionally, I would recommend you read the remarks of Table 1, where half of them either make a gigantic portion of electricity needs disappear (not counting livestock needs lol), or assume that 10000TWh (or much more) will be covered by fossil fuels or nuclear. Hm, that sounds like a lot like a base load. It does not either cover how much you need to build (current best case scenarios are that you need to build 2.5x worth your needed consumption for it to be available at all times. Hope you're ready to cover Texas in solar panels you need to replace every ten years), or assume that you can just... transfer electricity through ? Yeah, sure, if we had a worldwide grid that just delivers energy where it needs to be without loss, but we don't.
You make a lot of good points. I agree it is a cultural problem but the other half of the problem is _Taxation_.

Culturally most workers in EU markets (I am generalizing but lets exclude Executive, Finance, and Consulting positions) see an offer letter as the end of the recruitment process. People are not confident in negotiating an offer up because they are afraid employers will withdraw or walk-way (Which I have had happen so definitely not impossible). This also means that employers are more likely to see someone negotiating up (for a non-management position) as a 'difficult' IC.

The costs per 'permanent' employee in terms of taxation/contributions is higher than in the US. The taxation on employee income is _way_ higher in most of Europe than in the US. This double stream of government income from employer and employee is needed to finance both the huge slice of government spending (Healthcare, Social Services, Infrastructure) as well as the Pension Systems that at this point are a Ponzi scheme where working taxpayers are paying for retiree income (Privatized Retirement is fairly limited in Europe and mostly optional on top of standard contributions).

You see these two problems dissolve (Culture of content, and high taxation) when looking at the Contractor market, where employers are able to offer far higher rates very similar to the US market when ajusted to COL.

Ultimately lower taxes for the average worker are not gonna happen in Europe because gov deficits would be rampant and nobody is willing to forsake the existing social safety nets.
Freeloading?
The issue probably isn't the final map but the raw data used to generate it. Which in the case of the newer iRobots is cameras. So the question is, how much is extensive continuously updated photos of everything in your house worth to Amazon?
I don't think there's a difference here between Science and Mathematics. Scientists also study their tools (e.g. telescopes are studied by Optics), and use the objects of their studies as tools (e.g. galaxies can be used as telescopes, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens).

Edited to add:

The author of the quote tried to find an example that evokes vivid imagery, and also very extreme: it's obviously absurd to confuse a telescope with a galaxy, thinks the layman. While this turns out to be literally false, the point of the quote may still stand. The discipline that studies the real tools of Science is not Science itself, but the Philosophy of Science. This shouldn't be like this, and it wasn't until lately. Philosophy and Science used to be one and the same, but around a hundred years ago they separated, and this hurt both tremendously, in my opinion.
Hydro is bad for the environment especially those who live near it. A buildup of methylmercury in sediment is caused by hydro dams. There are lawsuits here in Canada by First Nations who live near dams.
> When prices spike, dispatchable sources (or dispatchable demand) move in and snipe the peaks, so nuclear can't make up for it then.

That is not true. Nuclear power has been used as a dispatchable / regulative source of power to compensate solar and wind power intermittency for decades in France.[1]

> These days, it's looking like renewables + storage could supply "synthetic baseload" more cheaply than nuclear in most places

And that's gross bullshit.

- Never storage of electricity has been deployed successfully at scale needed for a mid size country. Pretend that it is, today, a solution is highly hypocritical or plain gross bullshit.

- Even on the most optimistic (and untested) scenario, the cost plan of RE+Storage is (at best) on part with Nuclear energy (Pumped-storage) and or way more expensive (battery, power2gas). [2]

> maybe not Finland, yet; that part of the world is one of the worst for renewables

That is even more bullshit. Finland has pretty large hydro reserves. Renewable does not stop to solar. [3]

If it was law, everyone, not just Cisco, would negotiate cross-licensing deals as such. As a result, there would be no way for people to license IP unless they allowed for open use after the fact.

Beyond that, as an example, open apis (for drivers re:hardwwre) are not the same as giving full chip scematics.

But! If the, for example, SoC stopped updating binary blobs, and things stopped working with newer kernels, as an example, then they'd have to 100% open up and provide sources.

People get all rah-rah about the environment, but I throw away pounds and pounds of highly polluting electronics, just so someone can sell me another.

Because it's easier to understand than the solution to cyclic imports without conditional imports.

This would be fine, at least there's a conversation happening then.
With Areva, or rather the French tax payers, eating a loss of €5.5 Billion. Include those in the number and you end up a tad bit lower than Hinkley Point C which sits at ~€120/MWh.

Self driving Artificial Intelligence lacks the most important element --- intelligence.
Yep. The "style" of logger is in C, and looks (roughly) like this:

Logger* OpenLog(char*);

Table* MakeLog(Logger*, unsigned level, unsigned N, char* colNames, ColType *colTypes);

LOG(Table, Level, ...);

The branch to select log-level is trivial compared to the append cost. There's a few "backends" built in to the API: (1) a text-streaming version that just writes a text log; (2) a "bucketing" version that boils the calls to `MakeLog` down to accumulating buckets (with optional stack tracing); and, (3) journaling to a SQLite DB (with optional stack tracing).
Certainly, but this is mostly a self-inflicted problem in the EU. Everything that is procured through a public tender gets done by the lowest bidder.

Because VGA is fundamentally an analogue standard built around how a CRT works. Each bit of the signal serves a very defined purpose based on how a CRT and thus a vacuum tube works. This is also why VGA is so crazy to do digital capture for, because there are a lot of things that are "VGA" that are well outside the IBM standard. Monitors don't often care because as long as they can adjust their pixel clock, something they can do based on detecting the blanking intervals, they can display the signal because CRTs don't fundamentally have a "resolution" they have "Dot pitch" which is different. But for a digital monitor like an LCD it has to detect and verify the stability of the signal, then try to decode it into something that makes sense. That can take multiple attempts to get right. Most hardware also makes assumptions based on the common resolutions because there is no resolution information... just blanking. So without EDID it can be a real challenge to deal with VGA capture. IIRC you can have multiple resolutions at approximately the same pixel clock because of how VGA works that's fine, a CRT doesn't care... but digital capture needs to know how many times per second to sample so it can make pixels.

by looking around the repo.

Does this compile PHP to dotNet?

Wind turbines also are not 100% reliable and take up a gigantic amount of space.
I host very small videos (screen captures of a CLI output, for example, and yes, I know ASCII cinema exists) on some of my web sites, and never had any major issues with them. I manually encode the video into webm and av1, and then serve the files via a CDN. I did not want to get into the complexity of serving adaptive and different bit-rates because the videos were just small ones. Handbrake can do a good job.

I'd just go with a video tag, containing the webm/av1/mp4 URLs, a poster image, and optionally subtitle tracks.

The first and most important thing is that you need to make sure your web server can serve ranged requests. Most web servers that serve static content should do fine, such as Apache and Nginx. If you have your own web server, make sure they respect Range headers and respond with the requested chunks. Most CDNs do, but servers provided by runtimes don't, such as the PHP built-in server. This is important for the browser to properly preload and seek videos embed.

I find third party video players unnecessary and added bloat. Several years ago, sure, that was when we had to fiddle with Flash players and all browser compatibility shenanigans. A standard HTML5 video player works great, it even hooks into Android media controls, bluetooth play/pause buttons, and picture-in-picture. Though I have not tried, none of the custom players can properly add subtitles/closed-captions to videos and make them work in Picture-in-Picture, apart from the standardized CC tracks. IIRC, Firefox had to bend over backwards and add custom workarounds to get Netflix CC to work in PiP. If it comes to that you need to use a custom player for consistency, I can highly vouch for Media Element JS.
That's not the choice though because it's €100/MWh for power that would maybe possibly start being produced in 17 years tying up enough capital the entire time to produce 4x the net wattage in renewables that could fully pay itself back and fund another 4x the net wattage well before the nuclear comes online.

I'd far rather turn all of the gas turbines off 60% of the time than 15% of them off 80% of the time.

Add storage to the mix and nuclear is a terrible solution for avoiding having to choose between recent gas spot prices or shutting down your economy.
Even if the maps are basic, it would allow Amazon to jack up the prices for amazon.com queries from the same IP address if the place, say, is really big. iRobot app also encourages naming all areas in the house, so that too can be pretty telling.

In fact, iRobot requires the access to the location services to initialize their iOS apps, so even without a map this would allow Amazon to link an IP address to the exact property. Creative abuse of this combo can go a very long way.
From Finland pov they paid 5.5billion, the rest is on Areva since they had lost the knowledge/expertise on how to build.

Deploying such a high number of wind turbine might not be so easy since usually nobody wants them close by and even if Finland is vast not all space is probably suitable.

Nuclear is far from perfect but at least it’s low co2 and once built cost are usually stable (uranium price is negligeable).

It's seemed pretty obvious to me that the military's recruitment issues are just because young people morally object to it. I (25) grew up in the shadow of 9/11, seeing the US invade other countries on false premises for oil, somehow that didn't motivate me to serve. Then you combine that with growing awareness for how inadequate veteran services are, and how you're essentially abused as a military member even if you don't see combat. Why would I join an organization that goes against my morals, is more likely than not to give me PTSD, and then when it's all done all I get is a lifetime of untreated mental illness along with 4 years of "free" college?

Almost everyone I know my age who's joined either did it to escape poverty or because they come from a military family. I think any kind of perks are only band-aids on a collapsing militarized nation.
It’s business hardware so the support term is predictable and known at the time you buy the device. In the case of Cisco it’s 5 years from when the device is discontinued.

But then small businesses like to cheap out and gamble on a device that has a short time of support left and complain when it ends.

This is not a surprise, except if you chose to put on a blindfold yourself. And if you think EOL of 5 years is too short, don’t buy a device with an advertised EOL of 5 years.
