A drone would be far less detectable than the sub itself when not pinging (the drone would have only electronics, no nuclear turbine), so that seems like a non-issue regarding detecting the drone while in silent running. Drones are a lot more quiet and harder to locate than nuclear subs.

A programmed path wouldn't illustrate where the drone or sub will be in advance so that's also a non-issue. You only know where the ping came from, at the time the ping was sent.

The drone could also simply surface and pick up new instructions from satellite.

I assume we will soon be moving en masse to underwater drones for reasons far beyond what's discussed here.
Frustrating your consumers by not being able to supply their orders is how you stop being a monopoly. Eventually your backlog is long enough that it becomes worth your clients figuring out how to do what you do in-house, or a startup spots an opportunity. Being oversubscribed is a nice position to be in, but it doesn't mean you can rest on your laurels. (Plus, even if you're hitting your profit targets, leaving a boatload of money on the table has gotta be frustrating for at least some of ASML's employees and insiders).
And during that time that they're 12 or younger:

- Read to your young children regularly. Ideally, every day. This is something my father did with me when I was very young and I can't express how wonderful it was.

- Remember that you're setting the example for them -- make it a good example. 2 specific examples that I always observed: never use profanity (even saying 'crap' was very infrequent), and never let your kids see you drunk (tipsy maybe, but not drunk). Let them see that people can go through a normal life without resorting to excessive use of alcohol (and no drugs!).

- Always have them as your top priority. Your kids take priority over your other interests and also your job. Family is forever. Your job is your job until the next one.

- Be involved in their school. Show up to every single parent-teacher conference and every single school event. This shows the school and your child that you're serious about their education and their well-being. Do everything possible to equip them for success in education.

- Teach them the morals, ethics, and faith that you have. Never assume that someone else will (or even should). Let them see that you live by them.

- Be fair and respectful to everyone (give them the benefit of the doubt). If your child grows up seeing you being this way, they're more likely to do the same.

- Have a lot of laughs. Laughter is a great thing. Whether it's watching an old, silly TV show, reading a silly book, or just being silly yourself -- make your children laugh.
Raising them with good values doesn't mean that they will keep those throughout their life, unfortunately. Quite risky to bet on that.
I love being alone for extended periods of time. I once went to a week long conference and at the end of the week I realized that I had not spoken to a single person the entire week, after telling the people at the conference check in desk my name. But, I love spending time with my kids. It doesn’t feel like a chore at all.
My sincere compliments to anyone who managed to read past the first paragraph or two. And no, reader mode did not help.
Thank you for introducing me to the Rule of Tinctures. Essentially a FG/BG contrast principle several hundreds of years old! Nice.

Does this mean I'll have to deal with another planned-obsolescence connector? I was hoping with Moore's law flattening out that we would more or less be done with this mess. USB-C does a great job, what's wrong with it?
I wonder what would be possible if we could move away from the text editor and code with an e-pen on a tablet, the way mathematicians use a black board, where the parsing is not from left to right, but follows specific paths in two dimensions (like the notations for fractions, square roots, sums, integrals, etc. we learned at high school). -- Has this been tried out recently?

Show HN: Using AI to imagine car-free streets and bike lanes worldwide
A few months ago, I started using DALL-E to show what streets would look like car-free or with protected bike lanes, and posted them on Twitter: https://twitter.com/betterstreetsai

The account went viral, and made me realized that there's a lot of potential to make change in the real world. I assembled a team, and we've spent the past few months building this website.

By using AI, we can show people how much better our cities can be. And by capturing demand for that with petitions, which we show elected officials how many of their constituents support this stuff, leading to real change.
The “lab leak hypothesis” refers to the lab literally down the street, as per the WHO report. The lab was moved to that location about a week before the outbreak at the wet market. The WHO report speculates perhaps an accident occurred during the move.

It does not refer to the WIV as you think, again as per the WHO report.
Sort of. The error at a square wave's "cliff" does shrink in width as you add higher and higher frequencies to the approximation, but the height of the error does not diminish, so you have to be explicit about what you mean by "converge". If you considered MAX(ABS(approximation(x) - square(x))) as your error metric it would not go to zero even in the limit; for most intents and purposes we don't care about that, though, and in any case the limiting behavior is much nicer for "normal" functions that don't have discontinuities like a square wave.
In the most functional engineering orgs I've seen, this is the correct setup. There are clear and concise goals for each. (Everyone should know a bit about the other ofc.)

Most super early startups I've seen w/ serious problems can be traced back to the founder doing all three and sucking at each.

Only thing I'd say is that it's not just PM/EM that do scoping and input on product but the whole eng team. The healthiest teams I've been in used that setup and it worked really well.

People are still using the same screwdrivers and screws they used a hundred years ago. Phillips head isn't even that good - you can easily strip the head over a few uses, or even one, if you don't know what you're doing. There have been innovations in big machines (analogy parallel would be Hadoop or whatever). But at the small level, people are still using the basic hand implements they've always used because they always work, they work everywhere, everyone else knows them, and it's pretty hard to get the design for new ones wrong.

Like the author says, his ideas don't mean you should use Smalltalk or Lisp. Just that you should demand features, like how it took until Rust for sum types to escape functional. But the reason you shouldn't use Smalltalk is also the reason why languages like Smalltalk aren't going to get made: because when you're making a general-purpose language, it is extraordinarily hard to paradigmatically improve on what came before, and it's very easy to just get it all wrong and make a pile of trash that makes developers at the few companies that adopt it mad at you. Even Rust is not that amazing in this regard; its wild and new data model is in fact the exact same one you were supposed to be using in C++, just minus the ability to refuse.

Everyone smart who was able to make these things has been snapped up by big data where their talents produce the most direct value.
It's also just the wrong place in the stack to add these features. It's not a language concern, it's a platform concern. If I'm running a program in a web browser, it doesn't matter what language it's written in, I can pause the program and interactively explore it via the browser console. We should have the same thing for native apps on operating systems in general, and they should be native to the OS (provided by the OS vendor themselves) and not require any modification to the program (or any special programming language) in order to use.
I like GitHub based comment systems like Utterances and Giscus, but when you try to leave a comment you get a permission request page that says it can "act on your behalf" in your account which is ridiculously broad (and I think not actually true?). Will they be able to fix that now?

>Generally speaking, when push comes to shove, their “no logs“ policy lets them turn over whatever information $law_enforcement_agency asks for.

Not really, no. No company is required to cooperate with law enforcement from foreign countries.

So if you're trying to hide activity from government X, and you use a VPN in country Y, you don't have much to worry about. A US-based VPN, for instance, is going to laugh at demands from the Chinese police for their logs. Similarly, a Hong Kong-based VPN is going to laugh at demands from American police.
> Saudi Arabia hasn't really been a us ally since

But then who has "really" been an ally since whenever? All sovereign nations have national interests, and they are not 100% allied with the US interests.

Still, in the case of Saudi Arabia, their most important security concern is Iran. And there, they are aligned with the US. Also, the US is the most important security partner of Israel, and, according to wikipedia [1], Saudi Arabia has quite a good working relationship with Israel

reports have surfaced in recent years indicating extensive behind-the-scenes diplomatic, intelligence, and security cooperation between the two as part of a larger Arab-Israeli alliance against Iran (see Iran–Israel proxy conflict and Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict) and, more recently, Turkey under Erdoğan. At the same time, the Saudi relationship with the Palestinian National Authority is deteriorating.

A former general working for Saudi Arabia is in no way traitorous. It absolutely makes sense, both in their personal interest, but also in the general US national interest.

Yes, I know about Kashogi. But those guys are not going there to tell MBS to kill more disidents. They are going there to give security advice. And that security advice will benefit the US, not hinder it, because it will result in a stronger ally, not a stronger enemy.

>Meanwhile in the US we have a huge rash of thefts of Hyundais and Kias and neither the police nor the manufacturers are interested in doing anything about it.

Is there a reason why it's specifically Hyundais and Kias? Are they just easier to steal?
Needs a relatively rare and expensive W680 board to work. I’ve looked for them. Rare and hard to actually find one for sale, especially in ITX[0]. In past generations, Core i3s also had official ECC support with certain workstation boards (though not consistently - there is at least one generation where the i3 did not support ECC in recent years).

[0] If it was mATX or ATX, I’d just use a non-APU Ryzen with an ASRock AM4 board - they had the most consistent ECC support in the AM4 socket, though are completely lacking it in AM5. This is the route I eventually went.

Yes I realize tte citation is old. But Android was already just as dominant as it is now by 2016. I doubt the fundamentals have changed.

And no phone maker is making any real money except for Apple and Samsung and Samsung only makes money because it builds its own components.

"Docker shouldn't exist. It exists only because everything else is so terribly complicated that they added another layer of complexity to make it work. It's like they thought: if deployment is bad, we should make development bad too. It's just... it's not good."

Jack's not wrong. But better to look at it as throwing (increasingly cheaper) compute at the it-runs-on-my-machine problem.
I don’t do it. At least not all of it. There is also their mom and their siblings. They have tons of people available for them. Often they are more interested in finding alone time since they are constantly surrounded by people who are emotionally available for them.
In terms of being a functional system which allows for political dissent, unlike the Soviet Union and every other communist country

The difference between capitalism and communism is that communism requires everyone to believe in it and participate in it or corruption takes over, but capitalism works whether you believe in it or not.

There's still corruption in capitalist societies, but sometimes the ability to have political dissent keeps the corruption from completely destroying the system. In communist countries the control of the Party is more like a feature than a bug..
Interesting story that shows how nearly nothing is untouchable when it comes to automation.
No, no. 1 out of every 1000 lines of code has the potential to breach some form of license.

If someone is motivated to search through our entire (proprietary, private) codebase. They match it with repositories that are freely available. They’re properly motivated to make a problem out of it (some twitter randos?), and most importantly they gain some benefit out of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars engaging with our legal team.

By the time you satisfy all the conditions required for it to be an issue you are talking nation-state actors.

It’s reinforced car culture.

> Parents these days also are terrified of their kids walking to school.

Also, reinforced car culture. Communities optimize car throughput, enabling faster, deadlier traffic and fewer reasons to walk or bike…resulting in fewer people walking or biking…resulting in optimized car throughput.
I'm 3 weeks into Rust, and I've found it easy to get over an initial hump. I think where it becomes difficult is in thinking about smart pointers like Rc, RefCell, Arc, etc -- stuff I haven't even encountered yet. For things like certain popular leetcode questions, these concepts become more valuable.
> Chances are a lot of machine learning implementations can be replaced with just "boring" statistical models and achieve more power.

This is of course true, but the innovation in ML is not that a neural network (or whatever model) is equivalent to something else, it's finding the weights in the first place.
I totally get your (original) point -- I'm an (amatuer) fiction writer trying to make myself feel better, a bit. But everything evolves. Think of how Magnus Carlson trains for and plays chess, vs how it was historically done. No point trying to resist the forces loose in the world, be one of the first to embrace them. I'm curious what this means right this moment for an artist upon the advent of SD and the like.
It seems that this 100/200A thing might just be very different across even just North America, nevermind Europe. So much so that we can't make a general statement either way.

As in no, it does not heavily depend on size in general in the way you describe. It may do so where you are but that's about it. My house is smaller than 1700sqft, was built quite some years before 2008 and we have a 200A panel and I don't know what I would do with 100A service. It would be impossible actually. But that might be because we use electric baseboard heating and thus lots of heating circuits with quite a bunch of amps in use by that.

I’m not certain about adulthood (I doubt they are equal - there are probably positives and negatives both ways), but one of my kids has a friend who is an only child. She spends most of her time by herself and her home is very quiet. When she first came to our house, which is constantly in commotion (in a good way), she was sort of shell shocked. She has gotten used to it over time.

The problem with Teams is it has a ton of badly implemented functionality destroying what it does well on a straightforward basis - simple chat. For that use case, it is as good as anything else out there and I don’t know why people complain.

If you start using things like actual “Teams” it starts getting troublesome. We use it like a Facebook wall. Individual vertical heads will post information or call to action from time to time but it is largely static while we chat with each other all day outside it.

This is bad but what pisses off tech illiterate people even more is they have an entire share point built for the fucking software. Most tech illiterate people cannot understand how to use it and keep switching between that and chat and losing their work. If you need to use a file heavily while chatting, you need to open it on the desktop version or the entire experience will suck donkey nuts. If you need to constantly use that particular share point file system for daily tasks, then you’re an idiot if you can’t figure out or ask IT for the easier solution of just syncing it to your file explorer and never touching the Teams app.

The app sucks major balls but a lot of it is because it caters to a non tech savvy crowd and they’re constantly trying to walk a fine line between being functional graphically and also allowing power users to just get super access and get on with their day.
I’m surprised they didn’t call it USB4 SuperSpeed
Glad it worked out for you but I have to disagree 100% -- we have 2 kids (2 and 5) and it feels like they're only getting more time intensive as they age.

Your anecdote about work made me laugh - my wife and I (both fully remote, WFH) have been dreaming of finding in-office jobs just to have more time away from the kids. I now relish my time at work, the only reprieve I'm able to get!

No thanks.
I assume all my email is readily available to authorities, whether I deleted it or not. E-mail is inherently not designed to be private. I also assume multiple copies of it exist in various locations around the globe. There's a phrase: 'Dance like no one's watching, send e-mail like your email is going to be leaked'.

But I feel your pain. Outlook is the worst. When you delete items from Trash, it sends them into another folder where you can 'recover' deleted e-mails. Everyday Joe assumes the e-mails are deleted when you purge trash, but oh no, dark patterns striketh again!
Omg, thank you so much!

Yeah no. I can't even agree with you that it's a news outlet. It's "entertainment news" designed to get an emotional response, just like all cable news channels. If you go there looking for information, expect to be disappointed (or fooled).

Companies are being forced to reveal what a job pays
It's actually better than it was 5 years ago. I worked at a company 2017-18 that used slack, changed jobs to a company that didn't use slack 2018-21 and now work at another company that uses Slack. I find that the product is much better today at basic things (performance, search etc) than it was in 2017.
