It becomes pretty hard to do business or build internation relationships when you assume that the other side will stop being rational at any point in time.

Imagine it from the other side of the table: would any country rely on US companies for their OS or business tools if tomorrow the US could start a war against them ?

That's a possibility that is never frown away, and any countries with enough resources will make efforts to mitigate it, but that can't be the base assumption behind the relationship.

Human artists will still exist, it's just going to be democratized. Sort of like the impact of social media on traditional news journalists.

I think a naval blockade is most likely. If they block all ships in and out (except food), then the Taiwan economy will crumble. Taiwan will be forced to negotiate for a peaceful annexation. Also, they will take the islands very close to Fujian province on Day One. Just like Russia took Crimea. If the US military tries to interfere, China will threaten to nuke the US, so US military will back down. There will be a global depression for many reasons: (1) no chip exports from TSMC, (2) the whole industrialised world will try to decouple from China ASAP -- like Russia but with 100x economic impact.

To be clear: I don't like any of these scenarios, but this is my "real politik" view. None of it would be rational for Mainland China, but it is a dictatorship. Dictators don't play by the rules.

I think it might just be the drive -- which, by definition almost, would be a long-ish slog.

A thirty minute drive for 30 minutes or less each way might not be the end of the world.

But that starts changing rapidly as that number goes up, is 5 days instead of 4, etc.

A ten or fifteen minute bike ride, tho?

> Nix is compelling enough today that it could experience explosive growth even if core development was completely stuck. [...] I [do not] know whether this is the case

It felt like that to me for a really long time, in between the releases of Nix 2.3 and 2.4, when there were lots of features being added but there was no release schedule. The divide between flakes users and non-flakes users was also larger then, as the feature was gated behind not just an experimental flag, but pre-release versions of Nix.

Since then, Nix has gotten into a regular, fairly rapid release cycle and new functionality is released pretty often. There are various concerns about what that change does and doesn't fix for Nix, but for me at least there's no longer that feeling of stagnation or mystery about when Nix will see a stable update released.

> flakes have become a de facto standard despite being hidden behind an experimental flag, suggesting that the flag has lingered too long and without clear ownership or authority around stabilizing the feature. That indecision feels like floundering

Flakes have been conceived and pushed forward by the original author and chief maintainer of Nix. In the earliest stages of their development, consensus proved difficult to build and the community RFC process was very young. Suspending that RFC and adding the features to the master branch but marking them 'experimental' was an attempted compromise on the part of Eelco Dolstra, who had previously more or less taken a BDFL approach to maintaining Nix.

Since then, the flakes implementation has matured quite a bit. I think most users expect that it will evolve into an official feature soon and without many fundamental changes, although some community members still feel some bitterness about that initial process as well as skepticism about the scope and necessity of the whole suite of features that come with flakes.

At the same time, many RFCs have gone through the process since then. The organization of the projects and processes for getting ambitious changes approved are much more explicit now. In those ways, it's clear that leadership/governance in the Nix community is becoming more organized and more effective.

> Vachon-Desjardins ... chose not to provide any information on his co-conspirators.

Tough choice. If he had cooperated with prosecuters, his sentence would have been reduced but he would have a target on his back.
Mainly I’m concerned that there is little or no Matter support in Tasmota/ESPHome/WLED or other firmwares that target the ESP8266/ESP32.

It’s the perfect fit, and the market is literally crying for it. The fact that the community has not jumped in with both feet is.. unsettling.
> ARPANET and by extension DARPA are embedded in the origin story of the Internet and I'm sure DARPA will continue to fund fringe technologies that emerge to change the way we communicate into the future.

That doesn't matter at all. Tor is not proposing to accomplish the same thing the internet does. If we are to take Tor at its word, it is proposing the exact opposite of what is in the interest of government and law enforcement.

> However, there are several important safety and ethical challenges remaining. Imagen Video and its frozen T5-XXL text encoder were trained on problematic data. While our internal testing suggest much of explicit and violent content can be filtered out, there still exists social biases and stereotypes which are challenging to detect and filter. We have decided not to release the Imagen Video model or its source code until these concerns are mitigated.

The concerns cannot be mitigated. The cat's out of the bag. Russia has already used poor quality deep fakes in Ukraine to justify their war. This will only become bigger and bigger of an issue to the point where 'truth' is gone, nothing is trusted, and societies will continue to commit atrocities under false pretense.
> I moved from New Mexico (impossible to live in without a car), to Tempe Arizona (extremely difficult to live in without a car)

This is astonishing to me as a person who’s visited both many times. I find Santa Fe more walkable than Tempe by (sorry) a mile. And Albuquerque at least moderately more walkable. Both according to your clarification of walkability.

Again I’ve only visited all these places and haven’t lived in any, so it’s possible my impressions are distorted by that fact. I’m definitely not disputing the statement! But I’d rather walk in many of the random places in LA (that I’ve also only visited), than walk anywhere in whatever counts for the core/downtown of Tempe.

> Boston

I grew up in the DC metro (northern VA) but spent little time in the city before I moved to Seattle. Walkability drops sharply off from any east coast city heading west regardless of the city size, with Chicago being a major outlier. Some parts of the VA burbs are more walkable than some parts of Seattle, which is quite walkable despite terrain. It took 20 years and a family health crisis to go back and see just how much difference in density there is in the city and how much difference that makes. I’d never move back if I can help it, but I immediately felt at home dropped into this city I barely knew even growing up by it, and without autonomous access to a car even if it had occurred to me to want that.
This sounds like a good opportunity for a start-up that uses AI/ML to answer your calls and screen them using a human-sounding voice.

What the US really needs is enormous fines and strict enforcement, similar to Germany. I have read so many posts on HN by people who live in Germany that say their robo-calls are almost zero. And plenty of stories about enormous fines to companies for robo-calls.

Russia is not USSR, the optics/politics that drove peer power compromise isn't there, even if prudent. West also feels ideologically less realist than ever. Feels because there's also terrifyingly perverse realist incentive to push RU into tactical nuclear use to isolate her further.
Thoughts:

- This is awesome!

- It would be nice if you could search by airport code (SFO) rather than just city name.

- Searching for San Francisco, I see flights to lots of other airports (OAK, SJC, etc). I would be nice to optionally see just the city I asked for. This may not be a huge deal in the bay area, but searching for Richmond VA shows me DCA and IAD, which can be a 2-3 hour drive depending on traffic (and filtering filters the remote city).
Actually, the 737 MAX as a new plane would have been fine. The MCAS software was used to try to give it the same flight characteristics as the 737 so that existing 737 pilots did not have to get additional certification for it.

Spoken very fairly. For a central banker, it's either high inflation or high unemployment. Strangely enough, they prefer the latter. Inflation affects everybody mildly, a recession affects the unlucky few that lose their jobs very badly
> I have really bad news: the internet was formulated by the government.

The internet isn't one piece of software you knowingly install on your system. The internet isn't promising anonymity. Likewise to Tor, I wouldn't install a radar scanner in my car if I knew the company was owned by the U.S. Marshal Service given the kind of incentives that exist for them to take advantage.
The leaders of Vietnam are - well, it's complicated and there's a lot of corruption and weird cultural stuff to overcome. I don't mean Vietnamese cultural stuff, I mean the culture of the Vietnamese government.

But somewhere behind that I do believe they have a vision for the country. I have lived here for 5 years now and I see a country going though a rapid transition from extreme poverty (just 20-30 years ago) to now, in places like Da Nang, Quy Nhon, Dalat, parts of HCMC and Hanoi, being fairly developed and rapidly becoming more so. Apparently they have lifted a million people per year out of extreme poverty for the last 30 years and there's a rapidly growing middle class too.

Of course, from those areas, you can just drive 50km (or even just down a side street in a big city) and be in an area that seems like it hasn't been touched by development, although you can still probably get a 200mb internet connection in these places. And there are entire provinces that are still very poor. It's a big and complicated country on a winding but largely positive trajectory. Don't dismiss the leaders here in the same breathe as the Saudis. They have their own highly complex and developed culture, with both good and bad sides, and you need to take the time to understand it before you can comment on it.

If I was in industry, I would bet on this country as being a good place for manufacturing. Right now, for low-medium tech stuff. But in ten or twenty years I predict this country will be a high tech manufacturing hub.
Why would I build a part of it manually when pgpartman is already available? It’s just an extension as its just code.

Regardless of what they say on a public page, that is a vague license. Can I use Timescale to provide a SaaS service that collects application traces, and I provide a DSL to query the database that is not exposing the DB directly? No, its a gray area.
Possibly, depending if you think it needs to dogfight or not. The F35 actually can dogfight pretty much fine, due to the semi lifting body (after they fixed the software, old articles, pre 2016 really, are outdated), but blended wing is not the same thing. If you see the stuff the US is doing with NGAD concepts that pretty much only do beyond visual range and don't have guns it could be fine. Some of them are more fighter/stand off weapon delivery "bombers" like the B52 are becoming now.
I understand the want for peace for Ukraine, but Ukraine is not in a nuclear standoff with Russia.

If Russia invades a smaller nation under false pretense, and that said smaller nation continues to win against Russia. The smaller nation holds all of the chips at the table. Especially when Russia is pulling out 60 year old milsurp.
This is definitely a 2-way street.

I grew up in the country where nobody walked or bicycled. Parents would drive their kids 1000’ down the driveway to the school county road where the school bus picked them up. To move themselves they believed they had to get in a car/truck/SUV.

Nobody understood why/how I chose to never learned to drive (I’m 40 now) and that I just choose to walk to the store, bike to work, take the bus to the movies, etc.

Rural people have trouble grokking things, too.

> Since you asked: http://www.hereistheevidence.com

Another poster in this discussion posted some links including this one https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/here-is-the-evidence but I didn't find it very satisfying because while it does mention a lot of problems with that site, it doesn't really address the specific evidence itself. I was hoping to see somebody break down the evidence found on hereistheevidence and explain what was so wrong with it. I mean, even heavily biased sources that have been caught spreading lies in the past can still post some truths right? A biased source is a reason for caution, not a reason to outright dismiss something!

So, not having that readily available, I thought I'd check some of the evidence myself. I started with
"143,835 votes in Georgia were in violation to state laws". That sure sounds pretty serious! That claim consists of nothing more than a link to https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-lawyer-lists-exhaustive-.... No evidence, but I guess they linked to it so I ignored the nagging voice saying "WTF is thepostmillennial.com?" and clicked that link so that I could take in all the glorious evidence I was promised! I'll save you a click though. There is no evidence there. It's just a blog post about how somebody else made a bunch of claims and a video of those claims being made. Not once in the text of that site does the number "143,835" even come up and nowhere is there any evidence available to review.

Okay, so there's zero evidence at that link, maybe it was just a bad example...

I next checked the entry for "300,000 Fake People Voted In Arizona Election" - Wow! So many fake people! How did I not hear about this?! The entry for that claim is also nothing more than another link. Okay, so no evidence of fake people, but surely that link must take me straight to it!
The link goes to
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2020/12/01/data_expe... and once again, I'll save you the click, it's still just a post about someone else's claims. There's zero evidence there.

Links to stories about people making claims without evidence is not evidence. If there's any evidence at all to be found on hereistheevidence.com, I didn't find it. I guess we need someone to create "hereistheevidenceonhereistheevidence.com"

I can't blame people for not taking the time to go over all of the evidence at hereistheevidence.com and verify it, because there is no evidence, which I guess we all should have known by now.
Do you really expect anonymity out of the internet or trust that your IP traffic isn't being analyzed and logged? It certainly is, and it being a government project isn't an argument in its favor. The internet isn't selling itself as a tool of anonymity, never has, and isn't software you're installing on your hardware.
Now I’m thinking, wouldn’t it be interesting if a similar system allowed the plant to control things on its favor, like water and light? I wonder if the plant could learn such a system via positive reinforcement?

This really sounds to me like CEO's preemptively torching their companies, thus creating a recession. Good luck getting all those employees familiar with the product and culture back now that they feel betrayed. Get ready to train some new less skilled employees in the future at great cost. Way to destroy shareholder value by reducing profit, lowering product quality, and not being able to ship on time! This is like trying to time investments in the markets. Unless you can manipulate the markets it is impossible to do. Wait until _your_ sector of the market is in trouble and _then_ consider whether cutting jobs makes sense, otherwise you may be shooting yourself in the foot by creating the problems you fear as you follow the herd off the cliff.
