Within a given class of system, sometimes rugged, robust, and plentiful does win the day over sophisticated but more fragile and expensive. On the other hand, an advanced military will want advanced capabilities and there is plenty of history of putting such things to good use. See for example the F-117, precision guided bombs/JDAMs, etc.

A lot of good arguments can be made about how the U.S. has failed to control the costs of developing and fielding advanced capabilities. Sometimes they just plain make bad design decisions, like with the M1A1 or F-35. But I don't think there's a valid case that advanced capabilities confer insignificant benefits vs. large quantities of less-sophisticated systems. You ideally want a good balance of both and you need the understanding and empowerment on the acquisition side to control costs.

Re the M-16, Jim Fallows wrote a great article decades ago: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1981/06/m-16-a-...
hello,

it looks like some core functioanlity like backend services not open sourced.

like 'ballerine-backend'

is it true that only front-end is now open-sourced ?
I'm not a fulltime node dev, but nginx.com has some books.
Which is why I'm so annoyed that my employer (which happens to be the largest employer in my entire state) mandates a vendor that costs 6x as much and whose products fail much more often.
The one thing that the article might be underestimating is that solar/wind energy and battery prices will continue to fall exponentially. The high energy costs are an anomaly right now. This might change the equation.
Godot has a similar structure. The engine is MIT licensed, it's a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy and one of the lead developers has a company that does Switch and PlayStation ports. The only difference between this and Gitea that I see is who owns the trademarks or whatever (SFC vs the gitea company), and everyone's fine with the way things run in Godot.
“AI magics meet Infinite draw board”

No! Your project is much cooler than the title suggests.

It’s like, some kind of AI art studio app that goes beyond just text prompts. It’s a natural seeming evolution towards using generative tech in more of an iterative / workflow way.

Great work.
And I think the punishment part has two aspects to it. Deterrence being one, and preventing vigilantism being the second.

In cases where someone is wronged, they want to see the perpetrator punished and feel like they are getting what they deserve. It's not enough to have the perpetrator punished quietly. The victim wants to know it. And they want to feel as though it matches or surpasses their suffering. Eye for an eye.
How about flooring?
K-12 education is done via direct provisioning and has also seen costs explode, in no small part due to growth in non-core staff.
The market usually bottoms when everyone shares this doom and gloom scenario.

Part of why it's so hard to buy at the bottom is that it looks like there's no path forward, but then there always is.

- Globalization hasn't and won't end. For sure there are more tensions now but China needs to be able to sell its goods/services worldwide.

- Russia/Ukraine isn't that great but on the bright side it's reminding us again that the use of force can result in unforeseen consequences. I think this will diminish China's appetite to take over Taiwan by force despite the rhetoric.

- Inflation may have peaked. Certainly certain items (like gas prices and house prices) appear to have peaked.
As inequality has grown, so has the deficit.

But for decades, government programs ran surpluses.

It’s not hard to explain it away in memorized economics terms. The thing is those terms are merely one set of reasonable, generic language. Not immutable laws of reality.

Technology is moving faster than that because of government investment; IBM refused to invest in solid state fearing it would undermine sales of old tube computers. Government invested in and gifted them solid state patents.

What do you think the cheap money flowing to tech corps was about the last decade? Government subsidy of technology, which is verifiable in that now that rates are down tech genius CEOs are not innovating but pushing traditions of austerity. These companies are middlemen dependent on government subsidies.
Context? Although, I suppose that isn't an entity with agency, so "whom" feels like the wrong word.
> to describe literally everybody

Fortunately I am not doing that, and obviously instead describing general trends.

Does that clear everything up, not that I have clarified that I am not making the stupid argument of describing literally every person, with no exceptions, and I am instead making the much more reasonable argument, of generally describing overall trends?

> because the misinformation is used in a hurtful way.

But they still want it removed regardless. So everything I said still applies, because the motivation for why they want it removed, does not change the fact that they do want it removed.

And because they do want it removed, moving to a decentralized platform undermines this goal, because it is no longer possible for a centralized platform to remove it from the users who choose to keep watching it.

> there's some nebulous they

Well the "they" in this case would describe everyone who wants "misinformation", or "bad" content removed from the internet. For those people, my point applies.

> I think it's just very hard to remove bad actors in a non-centralized-tyrannical way.

So then you agree with me all along that decentralized platforms are harder to have content removed from. Yeah thats what I said.

> they who want power over everything.

I didn't say they wanted power. I said that they wanted content removed.

So yes, to those people, who want content removed, a decentralized platform is a hurdle, because decentralization makes it more difficult to have content removed, which you already agreed is the case.
Have you personally done any work to increase the planet's carrying capacity? More specifically, what is its current capacity and how is it calculated? Seems like you would know this based on what you have stated.

Might actually be getting better, since takeoff and landing are the most risky and with ETOPS we're doing a lot more point to point and a lot less hub and spoke.
What is the intrinsic sense in which telephony is a utility but social media isn't? The wires? Phone companies all share the wires now (thanks again to government regulation), and with VoIP it's becoming less relevant by the day.. but phone number porting still works fine. The physical infrastructure natural monopoly stuff isn't a necessary component of what makes government regulation of phone systems work out well.

The government regulation of the phone system works well because the government regulations are well designed, not because there's a limit to how many wires you can hang from a pole.
You're missing that more than half of the people in prison DO work. They're still contributing to GDP. They're just not getting paid for it (making less than a dollar an hour doesn't count).
> It's really not as hard as you think to run ethernet, often it can be run along existing HVAC ducting

In the UK we typically have brick/stone walls and no HVAC. Cable ducting above a skirting board is the only option I can think of but it doesn't solve crossing the floor or doorways.
One of the reasons I can think of that this is a bad idea is that, say someone goes out and has a large tree of offspring, like a hundred great grandkids or something. You’d increase by quite a bit the chance of incest (in the DNA sense at least)
Drywall, sure, it’s easy enough (although hard to make look perfect)

Plaster walls on wood studs is a lot harder, and plaster over brick or concrete is impossible.

Yeah, they use the GEO facilities mainly for illegals now, because illegals have less ability to hold GEO accountable and navigate the overlycomplicated prison systems required to access your rights (and you must exhaust local administrative remedies through the Warden and then the BOP before you have access to the Courts). And that is considered progress in the eyes of the American system because it's all about appearances, not about actually following the Constitution.

What are you proposing instead?

A) Imprison every stalker for life or kill them

B) Focus on rehabilitation and prevention. E.g. relocate the stalker to another city, monitor their movements etc.
Money is not wealth.

We can all get wealthier (or poorer) in a in a system with a fixed amount of money.
I always felt that private prisons could work great, if specific incentive laws are passed. First, give the inmate a choice of which prison to attend, so they are competing against each other based on reputation. Second, if someone re-offends and ends back in prison, then the original prison housing them would be on the hook paying for their stay at the new prison. This gives private prisons an incentive to properly rehabilitate by making sure the prisoner comes out in a better situation than they went in (education, therapy, etc).
Drawing absolutely can be categorized as better or worse if you are talking about its accuracy to reality, or your ability to draw exactly what you want. Which is what people are talking about when they say they are not good at drawing.

Guess how much they make if you don’t pay them?

It’s better for everyone if someone who can make more money per hour uses that higher earning power to offload lower income tasks to people in those jobs.
It's not like those laborers would be made any better off if you did the work yourself.

It's great that eg asyncify is upstreamed to binaryen/LLVM. My issue with Emscripten is that it's quite challenging to fix bugs in the wrapper Javascript code it generates. I spent a few nights trying to understand how to change the compiler output so I could import the Emscripten result as an ES6 module in both a browser and Node 16+. The way this works is unfortunately 1000s of lines of `if` statements that decide whether or not to concatenate this or that helper into a file, and all the little helper snippets may or may not call into each other. Some of the concatenation is in Python, some of it is in Javascript. I eventually gave up without making any upstreamable progress.

Relevant github issue: https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/11792

A quote from that thread:

> Btw, this issue shouldn't be tagged good-first-bug, because fixing it will require a substantial overhaul of how Emscripten sets up its imports and organises its startup code. There are several ways it can be accomplished, but it really needs direction from one of the project leads.

It doesn't seem like there's any progress here :(
Unless your walls are plaster on lathe. Hah we took 150 large bags of rubble out of the apartment last week. No, it wasn’t a gut reno, just 2 walls and 2 closets.
At this point in time there's no one that has enough logical qubits to do a useful quantum computation. It might be a few decades before someone figures out how to scale up the number of useful qubits. In the meantime a bunch of QC start ups will pop in and out of existence like particles. Very tough field, but that's exactly where I want to see more resources allocated: towards solving difficult problems.

When your back is against the wall, there is only one thing to do, and that is turn around and fight (John Major)
Because there is a difference between

> The era of cheap labor, free money, low taxes and open global markets

and continued economic growth.

Likewise, there is a difference between growth in stock prices and economic growth. Stock prices have been growing much faster than GDP for a long time now, like 20-30 years. The S&P could be flat for 10 years or more before US GDP gets high enough to justify the price level (using a historical level).

So yes, the US economy can continue to grow. And "emerging market" economies can grow and their stock markets could do extremely well over the next decade. And the SP500 could be flat over that same decade. All of these could happen.
The annoying thing about moca is it's still really expensive and the boxes are huge. It would be nice if you could get them in a form factor where they replaced the coax plate/box, even if they stuck out of the wall more.
TL;DR Mandate interoperability with federated networks.

I'm skeptical about the feasibility of the idea, mostly due to the fact that it will be impossible to get tech giants to agree to stick to a standardized content format, especially when they have conflict interests. But I would definitely like an app where I could follow all of my friends on whatever networks they choose, and see an ad-free list of their posts so I could choose which ones to view on the respective networks, and make sure that I don't miss important posts.

> we began creating a more formalized operating model so that Gitea could earn funding through public donations, selling Gitea merchandise, and receiving paid commercial contributions.

This sounds in light of recent events like he’s saying “we faked having a community driven operating model despite myself retaining full control, so we could live up to requirements by diners and commercial supporters”.

It seems resonable that he surrender trademark and domain despite him having acquired it personally as it should rightfully belong to the community that the diners and companies sponsored. They where not giving him personally money and they where not giving money under the assumption that it would go towards him starting a company that would take control of everything.
Hey, thanks for the comment. you’re right, eKYC is definitely the future of identity verification and after building the basic identity stack, we plan to add eKYC methods like verification using only the phone numbers and ID numbers.
eKYC is not in a solution that is not globally supported though, yet.

Part of our vision is to standardize this data to allow companies to partner and “vouch” for verified users - so users won’t need to send their documents all over and by doing so we may reduce leakage exposure.

About the automation part, the flows are vendor agnostic and can be connected to any vendor. we are in the process of open-sourcing a backend where you can orchestrate IDV, Risk, Fraud, Document classification, and OCR vendors.
Why do you say "not discussed"? That's point #4 in the article.
You need lower pixel counts on the sensor for better ISO performance. Larger the sensor pixels, more light they get. Sony A7S have low pixel sensors and have performance better than a human eye. Night time shots with a full moon look like it’s a day time shot.

I am using the picture tag on my photography blog [1] to serve optimized images for a range of breakpoints. I also used to serve WEBP versions of the photos but noticed that (in my audience) the browser support was sufficiently low to drop the generation step for them and just serve various size/quality combinations of JPG.
If time allows, I’ll also add a super low-res placeholder image in the background to prevent the slightly jarring layout jumps on slow desktop connections.

In combination with static hosting from S3 with CloudFront for caching, handwritten CSS + JS (except from Turbo), this yields a close-to-SPA snappiness and feel even on meager connections (as tested from rural Germany, fellow Germans may understand the implications).

The picture tag and the aspect-ratio CSS rule are real MVPs for dealing with photographs.

Drawing is also a mechanical skill. Drawing a perfect circle for example takes practice, and does not involve the kind of mental / seeing skills you described.
Modern lenses will always benefit from modern materials, design and manufacturing techniques. That said the benefits of M43 as a format are shrinking with the advent of small compact FF cameras. Your 25mm f/1.2 lens is equivalent (from a field-of-view and depth-of-field standpoint) to a full-frame 50mm f/2.4 lens or thereabouts.
From the article:

> Extra moisture in the air might cause problems with things like mold. Use your judgment. It’s probably fine as long as things don’t stay damp all the time. For many, extra humidity in the air would be welcome. (Maybe you can stop using that ultrasonic humidifier.)
Yes, that's what a universal binary is.
This seems.. unlikely? If the US govt didn’t want Iran to get spare parts, all it had to do was forbid the US companies making those parts from selling them to Iran.
BMW apparently prepares to release a hydrogen x1 series.
I always loved the F-14. Top Gun was of course a big reason (and I'm glad they brought it back for the newest film). But before Top Gun, there was Macross (or Robotech in the US). The variable state of the Tomcat influenced the variable state design of VF-1 Vaklyrie fighters in the anime. And I'm sure the AIM-54/AWG-9 Phoenix missle system (with the ability to fire on multiple targets almost at once) influenced the multiple missle launches seen throughout the TV series.

> Because that is just how an "analog square" works

There are actually laws that force anolog public squares, even private owned ones, to allow people to do things like protest on their property.

You should check out the court case, pruneyard.

It was about a california law, that forces private malls to allow people to engage in political space on their property.

As in, the private property owner, was prevented by law from removing the protestors from their analog square.
I agree with the other commenter, as Teslas and EVs are still "crossing the chasm" and are primarily purchased by enthusiasts.

Also, who is buying such expensive cars without any idea how they operate?
On the other side, the neutral way, the 50 renders szenes is the appeal and the challenge for the photographer. A wide-angle or strong tele lens add a lot to the picture themselves, by their extreme angles of view. The 50 does nothing like that, puts all the burdon on to the photographer. Yet, a lot of the most iconic pictures have been taken by a 50.
This is not my area, but I do wonder about the long term trends on interest rates, because not all that long ago, it seems like serious people were discussing the idea of "ultra-low" rates being not just the new normal, but the continuation of a very long downward trend. The phrase "historically low" does evoke the idea that there's a "normal" range from which we can deviate but will generally return to.

The "own events" was the faulty assumption. it's not always the same service that both emits the events, and is the place to go to over http for data. It "seems logical" to also build that store from listening to events, but it can cause issues as mentioned.
Yep. GM sells a ton of cars, and of course it’s not the driver who’s inconvenienced, so people never turn the feature off.

Wow, I'm so glad that you like it so much!

Just as you said, I'm trying to make it a studio-ish product which combines various AI magics, so they can work together and create something that a single AI model can hardly achieve.

Here's my future plan: I'm going to integrate natural language generation, music generation, video generation... Into this project, so you can make something really cool with and only with AI!

And the most important part: it will always be completely open source and free, and (maybe) a Google Colab is enough to serve all these stuffs XD.
Wouldn't the death penalty be a cheaper solution then?
I just spent a couple of weeks putting conduits in my brick walls. I couldn't reuse conduits in place for power (regulations, EU) and they are too small anyway. I used Cat6A, not fiber. I don't think an ISP will ever bring fiber to my home. Cat6A is 10 Gb/s so it should be OK for a NAS for a long time. I only have 1 Gb/s network cards now.
And yet 18 U.S. Code § 3553 - Imposition of a sentence (referenced by 3582) says:
the need for the sentence imposed—

(A) to reflect the seriousness of the offense, to promote respect for the law, and to provide just punishment for the offense;
(B) to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct;
(C) to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant; and
(D) to provide the defendant with needed educational or vocational training, medical care, or other correctional treatment in the most effective manner;

D sounds a lot like rehabilitation to me.

Focal length doesn't do anything to perspective. Perspective is dependent on the location (distance) relative to subject.

Different focal lengths will make you want to change your position, to get the entire subject in frame, or, conversely, to get more details. Then you will change your perspective.
