Related - I've found BeyondWords to be really nice. Its generated speech is not quite this good, but it's close, and it has a library of fairly different voices. Plus, it's UI allows you to create audio with a mix of voices, which is not offered by most other such services.

starlink and covid were gamechangers for WfH. People can now move outside of big cities and enjoy better lives while still being able to make good money. less traffic, less pollution(if you are into that), less garbage, less waste in general. billions of hours saved on commuting. more time to spend with your family, to relax...
But the world needs more steel. To build more ships. The world needs more ships. To carry more ore and coal. Because the world needs more steel. Also to build buildings.

This whole "economic" growth is just another bubble ready to pop, similar usefull to crypto in the long run.

You should not, as comments intermingled with code is a distraction at best, and actively harmful at worst.

None of the rockets from the big defence contractors were built without DoD money paying for R&D, though. Even Artemis uses portions of STS which was developed with DoD money.

So "not taking military money" could be a viable categorisation for it being first "civilian" rocket.
I'd go for a Flask back-end connected with Firebase for user authentication, storage and hosting.

Developing in python for me is just much faster to get to a working prototype. Flask is super simple to use, and I find it great to implement HTTP REST APIs for the back-end of my MVP.

With Firebase you can deploy containers in the cloud and you don't pay until you reach a certain threshold of monthly requests.

In terms of my development environment I'd definitely use docker to containerize my environment and make it easier to collaborate with others. If I was making a bigger scale MVP with multiple collaborators and sensitive source code, I'd opt for a cloud based CDE (containerized development environment) with monitoring and security features, such as the one proposed by strong network.

Throwaway commenting often makes people feel as if they’re adding value, whilst fulfilling their obligations.

Of course such comments have no value and worse, can distract from what ought to be commented.

Perhaps ChatGPT has found a use, if it is asked to add comments to code, although I somehow doubt it…
I really like this answer because it tests CTEs in a modular way.
One question I have is: how do you test a the CTE with an in.csv and out.csv without altering the original CTE?
Currently I have a chain of multiple CTEs in a sequence, so how would I be able to take the middle CTE and "mock" the previous one without altering the CTE actually used in production? I prefer not to maintain a CTE for the live query and the same CTE adapted for tests.

It's better to change clothes when it's -10..-25 C (14..-10F) outside. You can't stay indoors in heavy clothes and heavy shoes (and snow and sand and salt will melt indoors).

I'm sure people here are having so much disagreement because they live in very different climates.

I stayed some days in Italy in winter, and their indoor heating was just minimal, it was like +17 C (62 F). I did find it miserable. You can't take a shower quietly, because it's cold in the bathroom too, and you must dress up very very quickly. How do people in such places go to the toilet when they wake up at night? Do they sleep dressed? Or dress up, or just endure the cold for couple of minutes?

I'll find it ok to put on a sweater for the most cold week or two in a year, but not for months.
Yeah, but it also makes sense to be a cynic, to be honest. We are overloaded with possibilities; there are many more ”amazing, next big thing” apps out there than we could possibly fit in a thousand lives. Plus, in a competition market, the real good things thrive through the criticism. Finally, why would you give a billionaire an easy time? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a socialist, it’s just that there’s really no reason to do it.
I wonder if part of this is that TikTok is less focused on engaging with others and more focused on receiving content from others (I don't use TikTok...). When on platform communication happens it can be more personal as it is done through videos rather than text, where it doesn't seem like there's a person on the other side.
Speed is important for some mission types, like when you're intercepting a Tu-160 or Mig-31, or when you want to avoid being intercepted yourself (such as after being detected during a penetration mission).

Speed also provides an energy advantage against SAM's and very long range ATA missiles.

The F-35 can probably go faster than the stated top speed of M1.6, though, if surivival depends on it. I would guess its real top speed is around M2, similar to an F-16.
>Maybe those restaurants can simply move to residential areas.

In the US and other places with Euclidean zoning, that's illegal. Restaurants have to be kept far apart from residences. It's better in such places for all the restaurants to go out of business, and people can just stay at home and cook microwave meals.
SpaceX wouldn't get anywhere without military contracts, not sure about Blue Origin.

I think that's probably the biggest risk - you could just plant it somewhere where it wouldn't be found for a while, giving everyone around it major radiation sickness.

> so we send f16s and f15s as appropriate for those tasks for which the risk is there for the f35?

If I were an accountant for the US military, yes, I would do that. But, of course, things are a lot more complicated, because if they have built it they'll have to use it, you can't go in front of a Congressional budget commission and say that it doesn't make sense to use a F-35 when the F-16 can do the job just as fine, because they'll furiously ask you why did you need all that money for the F-35 in the first place.

> If there's a war in 5-10 years with china, will drones be fighting on the battlefield

Could be. Either way, I think we haven't reached the "maximum" when it comes to the use of aerial drones in modern warfare, not by a long shot. Partly also because of institutional reasons, when you've spent so much money on a project like the F-35 you don't ask your best military minds to think too much about drones so that you could best employ them on the battlefield, you ask those bright minds to put the F-35 to use (because a general's future career prospects depend on it). This would only get alleviated by the US having to fight a real war, when, supposedly, those institutional motives would be overcome by the reality of war.

About a possible US war against China I can't comment much because I don't know the situation in that geographic area all too well. It is my understanding though that the US is preparing for a war over the vast area of the Pacific, a repeat of their WW2-campaign if you wish, but I'm not sure China will fall into that trap. But this is pure unsubstantiated speculation from me, time will tell.
You use the F22 (and stand-off munitions) to obtain air superiority at the opening of hostilities. Bombing airstrip, C&C infrastructure, SAM suppression, etc.

You then use your vast fleet of less capable planes to ramp up sorties, provide air support during combined arms operations, etc. You can still use your magic airplane for protection of those assets during sorties, and for strike missions on high-value, high-threat targets.

That is why it is not a problem to have 'few' expensive magic planes. The US only had a hand full of U2's and SR71's, because you're not doing spying runs over Russia 10x a day.
Let me introduce some examples. Stocks of 2023-01-27 (https://musn129.com/nasdaq/2023-01-27),

LCID (Lucid): +43%

TSLA (Tesla): +11%
- Tesla stock has seen strong bullish sentiment due to its impressive fourth-quarter earnings report, as well as strong options trades and CEO Elon Musk's positive outlook for the future.

Thank you.
TFA mentions the truck was passing by at 70km/h, which is surprisingly quick.

One reason that germany has selected the F35 as it’s next gen multirole aircraft is that it’s certified to carry US nuclear weapons. Other planes are theoretically capable of doing so, but would require adaptions and certification, increasing cost. With Finland on a path to join the NATO, this could be one consideration here as well.
Which military based in Australia do you think helped by supplying this?
> I fully admit that automated tests cover nothing related to explanations

but ... it's the explanations that are important.

I mean there are plenty of tools to check that a comment matches a function signature or otherwise describes the properties of a bit of code. But who needs that? At least in a strongly typed language, reproducing the signature or doing anything else that reflects existing code within a comment adds very little.

Anyway, I am not arguing against comments. I'm just arguing that they can't somehow magically reduce technical debt. Or that they have anything at all to do with technical debt. Or that the OP made any sense at all.
It is explained in the article.

"He said a search vehicle was driving past at 70 kilometres per hour on the Great Northern Highway when a detection device revealed radiation."
I know it feels good to imagine otherwise but Russia is objectively ahead (at the moment) in terms of ballistics and air defense.

But aircraft tech, yes - absolutely. The US knows how to build impressive planes. But stand-off ballistics and drones are now the better bang for the buck.

I would disagree, they're almost too articulate so you get that very artificial clipped and stilted speech from those voices that you used in your story. It's especially apparent in the female voice.

It's not just you. It always feels like things are getting worse.
Generation of our parents lived much more frugal lives from current perspective. Less traveling, adventures, exciting matters and more grind of work & kids care. I utterly respect them for that, but its not a life I would call ideal and strive to have.

Financials now for buying real estate became ridiculous for many places globally. It can be counted from ie how many salaries of similar jobs you need to buy a house in same place before and now. Not exact, but this shows how things skyrocketed due to cheap debt and speculation.
>You can also hire from anywhere, which is huge in terms of finding talented people.

This is a negative for many businesses: their employees can get poached by competitors far away that offer better pay or benefits or working conditions.
Tell that to the hundreds of thousands US IT professionals that lost their jobs recently.
Ok, tell me then, how does a random person sign their binaries without paying through the nose and going through an extensive review process?

It's one thing for a developer to get to distribute apps on an app store full hog with no oversight, and even there app stores are onerous. It's another to stop users from running their own software. Calling that a cultural difference is way too much. Heck, teenage Bill Gates made money selling his own software without someone forbidding it running on their own computers, it'd be hard imagining microsoft being what it is if this is the environment we're leaving the next generation of young hackers.
> Because those weren't the deciding factors.

I think it's the other way around. Technically, the F-35 has been superior all along, but it used to be expensive.

Now, with the cost coming down, the reason NOT to pick it went away.
Seattle REALLY needs one :(
Complex?

Seems straightforward enough in the geophysical instrumentation domain.

Exotic? Radiometric mapping has been around for 50+ years - Australia has mapped the entire country (size of mainland contiguous USofA) from aircraft with ~200m line spacing in that time (along with surveying other countries, Mali, Fiji, India|Pakistan border, elsewhere), Russia, South Africa, Finland, USofA also have radiometric survey teams.

It's handy for finding drums of radioactive waste in a Finnish forrest near the Russia border, for example, which was an actual contest | exercise some years ago.

ClickHouse is one of those technologies I've had half an eye on for a while.

In your completely unbiased opinion (I kid), do you think it's a good choice for the following problem?

I have multiple sensors that read different types of data about the same subject at (annoyingly) slightly different intervals, usually a few dozen times a second. This needs to be combined with other event data that happens on the order of a few times per day.

Currently I analyze this data in Python, R, and sometimes SAS (a weird proprietary language). Some coworkers use Matlab.

Is that a ClickHouse problem? If I tried it out would the ClickHouse community be interested in hearing how it goes?
is this close to what you had in mind?

> Personally I've wanted a way to link code to comments, not just the reverse, so I can change code here and be notified that it affects comments over there,

If your code is separated from comments explaining it so much thag this isn't visibly obvious on review, there’s probabky a bigger problem than “I don’t have a way to link commebts to distant code and vice versa.”

Australian civilian radiation services with backing of AGSO (Australian Geological Survey Organisation) are easily able to handle this all within Australia w/out reaching out to the Indians, Pakistani's, Iranians, Russians, South Africans, or other international nuclear agencies.

You are correct. These are handwritten and curated challenges. There are certain terms in ML having very specific meanings which might be missed by casual readers.
This was my experience when using it to brainstorm a list of topics in a particular field. After a while it stopped coming up with new ideas, and just gave me slight variations in the wording of ideas it had already produced. Adding "do not include [commonly occurring phrase] in your response" worked up to a point but then ran into the same issues again.

The purpose of the economy is to fulfill human desires. The only question we have to ask to understand which situation resulted in higher economic output is: which situation resulted in satisfying more human desires.

It's clear that the pointless burning of fossil fuels didn't satisfy any human need. Then the question becomes: is the distribution of currency caused by the buying and burning of the fuels preferable to the alternative distribution if the currency had been spent elsewhere? If it is preferable, does that offset the waste of fuel for no purpose except redistributing currency?

Any time I hear these kinds of reasonings the question comes to mind: if some distributions of currency are preferable to others, and we know what such distributions look like, why not let the government do the distribution directly?

Hi,

Text-Generator.io is now self hostable, It's priced at $1000 USD per instance per year to self host.

The service runs on a single 24GB VRAM GPU, and runs all services including speech to text, text and code generation for almost all languages and generating embeddings too.

The text generator also downloads and analyses any input with links including documents, images, images with text inside and webpages for better understanding and to generate better text.

It's a great alternative to OpenAI and has a compatible API making switching easy.

Let me know what you think and if there's anything i can do to help!

All the best.

Yes, I didn't know what it was so I had looked it up before I saw yours. The definition I got is below:

1. I described Taibbi as failing to meet a threshold of credible reporting for reasons I've explicitly stated in a fair amount of detail and further linking to a 3000 word artcle on it by someone who analyses disinformation professionally. You've characterised this as "essentially asserting". I am forced to conclude you are not a serious person.

2. Either you don't know or don't care that Dr. Caroline Orr Bueno is postdoc "at UMD’s Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS)." studying how disinformation works and propagates for a living. You are free to disagree with her analysis and mine if you like (how? where?) but to dismiss her work as "some unrelated amateur OSINT" tells me you're not genuine.

Further discussion with you is clearly pointless.
