I think it is even worse. NAVAIR had the 14 with its massive capabilities and instead spent a ton of money improving the A6, A7, a bunch of canceled projects, picked the effing LOSER of the LWF program, and then effed the 2 stealth projects and got out of the 2010s with extremely limited capability.

Even worse, the money that could have been spent building ships that would be useful in a conflict with CN was spent on effing GUN Cruisers (!!!) and littoral ships that didn’t even work.

Imagine instead if the USN had 8 additional Burkes, upgraded/refurbed 47s, Aegis/VLS across the fleet, and a hi/lo of updated, maintainable 14s and 16s.

The US taxpayer spent billions and billions and got nothing. It’s been huge scandal for 30+ years
> Lawyers lie for a living, and that inevitably fucks them up mentally.

Depending on circumstances, either literally a crime or something that might get them in trouble with their ethics board. Lawyers often present circumstances in a biased way in favour of their clients. But they get in trouble if they tell an out and out lie.

You are imagining lawyers as monsters you can project all of the worlds sins on. It makes life simple so you dont have to think deeply about the world, but it doesn't match reality.
Really? What model do you have? I have a 330e and it does not have an A/C button, only a "MAX A/C" button. I can turn the A/C on with this button, but I can't turn it back off.
Ask HN: How did you find joy in life?
I can't find joy in life. Nothing interesting. When I think rationally I am excepting myself as whom I'm. Yes, for example, friends talk to me passionately about something (music, events, chess, etc..). I'm just like, "yeah, interesting". I never feel excited about anything deeply. I admire people like Feynman who are passionate and curious about science, life, to learn. I want to feel like them but nothing triggers that type of feeling. In the end, I'm just passing my days. Naval says in his book something like " we will be forgotten 100000 years from now. There is no meaning". this is not the case for me. I don't want to be remembered or make something useful for people, for the world. I just want to be curious, and passionate like Zorba (Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis), like Feynman. Without curiosity, man is nothing. If you had experienced this type of thing, how did you handle it?
I use this model a lot in life. I like to remember about this when in arguments with someone - once you say something that you later regret, it's very difficult to take it back.
> Telephones haven’t changed for decades

Now you're just being absurd. Do you think we had iphones decades ago? A few decades ago rotary dial phones were still common, cellphones were virtually unheard of, VoIP was a dream, nobody expected a resurgence of the telegraph (e.g. SMS), and switching was still done with in-band signaling.

Virtually everything about telephones has changed over the past few decades. It's easier to list the things which haven't changed: we still use phone numbers (kind of... because actually almost everybody uses the contacts app built into their phones.) We still pay phone companies for the service, except now there's tons of phone companies and you aren't stuck with one.
Someone (Luu?) coined, a while back, the phrase "cocktail party idea".

This is exactly that. Something that sounds like a great idea to people standing around chatting, but in reality is full of fail.
10 Gbps is really a game changer if you have large quantity of data to transfer (multiple terabytes), but 10G cards and equipment are power hungry so I only put out a dangling fiber one in a while to make a backup but the speed is appreciable.

Also I'm still looking for a solution setup a ~200m link, Ethernet and WLAN are not an option, so I'm only left with fiber, 1Gbps would be sufficient, but I won't be able to do it myself because of the price of a splicer. I thought about asking an installer to do the splicing for me, it shouldn't be that expensive, maybe on day.
I stronly doubt your conclusion considering the Navy is replacing the F/A-18s with F-35s which are closer to design of 18s than 14s.

Perhaps there might be time to face the fact that the F-14 may not have been the most useful (and upgradable) planes for actually practical roles the carrier aircraft are expected to do?

The F-14 maybe has been sexy in the air, but for effective and operational warfare the things like logistics, maintainability, reuse of parts and carrier space matter much more, especially if F-14s shortcomings made it less able to actually be in the air when needed.

It's like taking your daddys 1970s charger (with new infotainmed and bolted on cruise control) into a desert expedition. Sure it has that gas guzzling V8 for the POWER when you need to hunt sand people, but in reality a modern Hilux is going to make the combined force a much more potent force and won't need truckloads of spare parts and mechanics to trail it. Even if it doesn't go 0-60 in 3s.
I'm going to have to agree that self-help books really don't help all that much. What worked for one person doesn't always work for another.
I am not here to defend Nvidia, nor the quality of the design, I’m not in anyway capable of judging it on it’s technical merits. I think this debacle is a farcical mess.

These new adaptors are included with products Nvidia themselves ship, with themselves as OEM. They know this standard is not common, and they know they need to ship adaptors with them, If they can’t guarantee the quality of it’s manufacturing, then it says there’s possible more worrying things going on behind the scenes.
Our entire framework of accommodation is a mistake. If we wish for people—disabled, pregnant, whatever—to be subsidized we should collectively bear the costs. We shouldn’t insist that whoever they randomly come across be forced to eat those costs. That’s both unjust and a recipe for resentment, reluctant service, and hidden avoidance.

Is colonialism not the precondition for "neo-liberal globalism"? In any case I would argue in any case the logical conclusion of colonialism is globalism, a lever arm and a gear acting on the same system. I would also posit in just about any form it's a bad idea, Neo-liberal or Communist...

Not to mention the fact that the IMF (International Monetary Fund) is the posterchild institution forwarding the Neo-liberal Gloablist agenda.
Not to detract from the project itself, but neither this HN post or the GitHub repo ever define any of the initialisms in use. Being slightly unfamiliar with what KYC/KYB even stand for, I had to guess and search all around the docs for clues that my guess was correct. Might be worthwhile to add a single expansion somewhere.
> No, I think this argument is largely correct. And frankly settled: anyone who's driven recent FSD beta versions knows very well that the cars "see just fine". They don't hit anything, they see and avoid obstacles.

Only if you ignore times where intervention stopped it from hitting something, times where it did actually hit something, massive amounts of jitter and popping in the visual output, phantom braking, etc.

Unless of course "recent" means n+1 where n is the version that crashed into something.

This piece from the Oxford Mail has rather more details about the scheme.

https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/23073992.traffic-filters-w...

It is certainly an aggressive plan to curb journey through the city. It feels like it’s just going to force more journeys out to the ring road, resulting in more miles travelled for many people.

While the Telegraph piece is very hyperbolic, this scheme looks like it will be a massive pain for many people in Oxford, and might just induce longer journeys.

I will be really interested to see how it works out over the next couple of years, and how it goes down with the Oxford electorate at the next local elections.
>If you were certain that you can never quit smoking pot/rehabilitate in prison then perhaps your action "could be" justifiable.

If you have a right to smoke pot then you should not have to rehabilitate yourself, just as you should not have to love Big Brother or any other number of things.

>If you want to use drugs then take the hard, legal way(i.e political activism).

here I'm wondering if you are using 'you' to refer to people in general or to me? Either way it's sort of silly, hardly anybody is going to say I will do drugs after my political activism to make doing drugs legal succeeds! If it's to me I don't smoke pot, but I do believe people have the right to do it.

So if you are going to be thrown in prison on an indefinite sentence for something you have the right to do then I would advocate extreme violence for anyone that was in danger of being arrested for smoking pot.

In the end your indefinite time until rehabilitation proposal is more extreme than the current American system.

>As far as I'm concerned....

reading your last paragraph I get the feeling your view of 'drugs' is they are all somehow the same as heroin?
This is true in general, but as a doctor, I've never written a prescription for only 3 Xanax pills. Usually more like 10 to 30 depending on the situation. The only time I write for a single digit number of pills is for antibiotics, where I know ahead of time exactly how many pills they will need.

Arguably your phone still doesn’t take great pictures in the situation the author is describing: indoors, medium to low light.

The current system is an anti-solution, causing more problems than it solves and failing to succeed at even it's most basic purposes. Unless someone is an imminent violent threat they should not be detained in any form for long periods of time, and those who are detained should be treated in a way intended to improve their situation and remove the need for incarceration.

> If someone is making money then someone else must be losing it because there is a finite supply of dollars in the economy at any given moment so if the supply is fixed then the monetary economy is a zero-sum game.

That is simply untrue. The money supply is not fixed.
That sounds great! Have you written it up anywhere publicly? It sounds better designed (e.g., using less chips) than most of the SSI-board CPUs I've seen.

I've been thinking it would be fun to see if I could get JLCPCB to build me such a CPU out of SSI with their PCB assembly service. In theory this is nice and simple: I design the processor at the chip/netlist level, debug the thing in a discrete-event or synchronous simulation with Logisim or something, import it into KiCAD, produce some board layouts, send it to them along with US$50 or so, get back a stack of fully populated SMD PCBs, plug them together, plug it in, start single-stepping the clock while watching what's going on, and then ramp the clock up to see how fast it can run reliably. What surprises am I likely to run into?

Unfortunately I don't think Potato Chips' product line covers things like 1GHz 8-bit registers, but if so that would be pretty entertaining.

Not only does this article make it your job teach the manager how to do their job, the article does not admit a cardinal truth: the manager unnecessarily eats into the value that you produce and should therefore be eaten in turn. If you can manage up, you can eliminate the manager, and gain your total share of the value production.

Now THAT is a superpower.

You have plenty of conversations in AggSeg if you want. Just with a small group of other inmates talking through your door while they are on individual free times.

There’s also usually an air vent people talk through. And that is the real torture, listening to 90IQ criminals talking 24/7.

I was lucky enough to have a quiet vent and kept people away from the door. It was great and not anywhere close to torture.

People act like this is “the hole” from some POW camp. That doesn’t exist in the system.

AggSeg is just a jail within a jail, for the violent and obnoxious troublemakers. Inmates are not allowed to be in the same space inside or outside of their cells because they are likely to be violent. It’s amazing because you can really relax, eat your 3 meals a day and do time. You watch more TV in AggSeg, have more personal space and privacy, you still get to talk to people if you really want to … the idea of calling it “the hole” and pretending it’s psych torture is absolutely ridiculous.
Your comment is off topic.

I think the thing is that people like yourself are probably conscientiously indifferent to the attraction, influence and dependency that “Big Tech” produces. If this isn’t the case for you, then allow me to speak for myself then. I think the very thought that the author is sharing is an overreaction, but it it’s a sign of the times that it even generates a conversation or that some people can even liken it to government intervention in the telephone business. I’m indifferent to the concept itself, but I find the idea in the context of the modern world and the dominant global culture…dramatic.
If that's the case we are very very far away from the bottom as my feed is full of posts of.people saying now is the time to buy, never been so cheap, only upside from now etc.
SMS isn’t the telephone. VoIP mostly isn’t done using phone numbers, and to the extent that it is, is a way to grandfather in a legacy technology.

The iPhone is not primarily a telephone. If you are going to argue that it is, you really aren’t being reasonable.

Also, if you look at the history, you’ll discover that these innovations were all held back by regulation and the fixed nature of the phone system.
> There is no way to reduce inflation without destroying money.

Of course there is. When inflation is caused by supply restrictions, increasing supply will reduce the rate of inflation. Inflation is about prices, it's not about the money supply per se.

I love the 50, I just personally don't have much use for one currently.

They are not. It takes two incomes to do what one income used to pay for. Lots of middle class people cannot afford to even buy a house. Something most of their parents managed to do at a young age.

Yes, this has also happened.

Much more productive? That's also not true.

If it were envy, the middle class wouldn't be asking for better wages. They would be asking to become rich. It's not envy.

I've been learning a bit about distributed databases and of course AWS is a major user of such systems. The decision to do a mass migration from one distributed system to another, as an example, doesn't fit well with the kind of 'executive boardroom' mentality that this article is talking about.

The fundamental issue is more just taking the possiblity of error and failure of strategy into account. Hence, having a rollback strategy in place beforehand is wise. This post discusses a few basic recovery strategies plus more complicated ones:

It is worth noting that all known classical algorithms to solve this problem scale exponentially with the problem size, and fundamentally there is no reason why putting 60 or 70 qubits in the fridge is particularly more difficult than 53. The point is that while classical algorithm advances can take off orders of magnitude off the runtime, this has to be done _every_ time there is a small increase in the size of the quantum computing device in order to kill a supremacy claim.

For privileged people theft is mainly an inconvenience. When my laptop got stolen I just filled out a form at work and got a replacement the next day. But for lots of people it’s more than that. If you work on cars or houses your tools are your livelihood. Getting them stolen means losing your job or replacing them at retail prices which is out of reach for lots of people. Likewise at the community college I go to some people are barely holding on. If their laptop gets stolen they either drop out or don’t pay rent that month. There are lots of people who would rather be violently assaulted than have their stuff stolen so the idea that theft is nonviolent has always seemed like a luxury belief to me.

I'm really out of the game these days so don't know the state of different options, but to be fair, a decade ago I had a team member try and cheap out on modules and it caused a fairly decent mess. Lots of failures, but not just outright failures, but problems where the link would mostly work, but through a bunch of fiber taps and bypass modules produced a high error rates when installed.

So I'm not saying it's right, but I can at least understand where a mandate like that might come from, if perhaps outdated compared to the current state of the industry.
>and asking for large numbers of pills is treated (not unreasonably) as a sign of drug seeking.

Something that keeps tripping me up with the label of drug seeking, is that in this situation the person is correctly drug seeking in a situation they've previously had a specific problem diagnosed and have had positive experiences with a therapeutic. They simply need to subject themselves to the ritual, follow doctor's orders, and not look like they are drug-seeking to successfully drug-seek the therapeutic.

What bother me is the implicit confusion between seeking drugs to treat a specific problem, versus not. Confusion creates damage both ways, with an insufficiently individualized approach people subject to drug addictions may not be sufficiently protected (many are still successful finding someone who will fuel their addiction), while people not subject to drug addiction receive substandard care.
