Ukraine supplied engines for Vega's upper stage, co-developed the Antares and half of Firefly Aerospace's operations were in Ukraine office before the US forced them to divest from there. Considering that only a few months later Firefly would reach orbit, I think it reflects well on the capabilities Ukraine also must've had relative to their status as the poorest country in Europe.
What is the problem with installing python outside of JupyterLab (or „the regular way“) in your opinion? I‘m teaching Python basics for a few years now and usually we get everything up and running with Python and VSCode in three processes as well: installing python if it’s not installed, installing VSCode and then installing the extension.
> I am not aware of any such "longjmp" implementation.

Clang on Windows behaves this way! That is, when targeting the Visual C++ runtime, as opposed to MinGW.

With the Visual C++ toolchain and runtime, longjmp behaves like a C++ exception throw and goes through a whole stack unwinding routine, unlike on Unix (and MinGW) where it just sets a few registers and branches. This has the downside of being much slower, but the benefit that longjmp will run destructors of C++ local variables as it unwinds (as well as SEH `__finally` blocks), making it less of a footgun in C++ code.

Visual C++ itself doesn't support GCC extensions like `__attribute__((cleanup))`, but these days Clang is highly compatible with Visual C++ while also supporting GCC extensions.

Edit: Windows also has the distinction of, on x86-64, treating the SIMD registers xmm6-xmm15 as callee-saved (preserved across function calls). As you mention, this means that setjmp has to save them, which is fine except that it bloats the size of jmp_buf.
A good wild conspiracy theory would be that Raytheon or whoever sells the missiles we're using to shoot them is sending them.

Can't balloons be punctured by something less expensive than a stinger? Maybe a drone with a machine gun?

And that leads to the conspiracy that there's someone already has a balloon defense system ready for the inevitable bid.
I've taken several courses of SSRIs. I think it works like this: you're depressed and you have dark thoughts but you don't really feel motivated to do ANYTHING. Then you take some pills and at first they send your mood all over the place, but those thoughts are still present and prevalent. So now you feel pretty good about the idea of killing yourself.

Many people who say those things say the US has no free healthcare ignoring medicaid, medicare and Obamacare because it's an American pasttime to throw out misinformation and hate the government.

Could you explain what this means? Isn't poverty ipso facto its own kind of accountability, i.e., a financial accounting?

I get the feeling, however, that a lot of people want to turn an amoral, economic system — free market capitalism, wherein supply and demand determine prices — into a moral system, wherein market forces essentially render judgments about the goodness or badness of individual participants, almost as if the so-called invisible hand of the market were the Hand of God.

Show HN: Forever-Time Multi-player- Play with your loved ones after you're gone
Summer Friends Don't Stick Around is a "forever-time" multiplayer game created to immortalize players and give others a chance to play with them "in spirit" even after they are no longer with us.

In the "Remember Me" mode, players can train a neural network to capture their play style. The output is a data model that can be shared with friends and family. Your playstyle is essentially encoded in the data model.

In the "Remember Them" mode, players can load a data model file and play with them.

I'm still learning more about neural networks and tweaking them to capture more of how any particular player approaches the game. There is room for improvement.
But BingChat remains THE super-app. Given the right resources, it can potentially find me the best flight combo for my next trip in a single go. I don't want a list, just the final result and approve or not. It doesnt really substitute search, it replaces it with finding the perfect answer.

I assume MS/Google/OpenAI will launch an app platform on top of this. We will contribute some form of data and get paid back according to some formula, and this is what will replace google, and largely the web as we know. I dont know if MS has announced something like that but seems like the obvious way forward, and it seems like a big business.

I think the hype is more about the potential of this tech rather than the MS/google pissing contest which is typical media entertainment

That's not correct, at all.

If you are claiming a deduction or credit, you are required by law to maintain the documentation proving that you qualify for that deduction.[1] If you can't provide that documentation, they can reject the deduction because there's no proof that you are actually entitled to that deduction. Your word that you super-duper remember having a capital loss 20 years ago that you can still deduct on your current return isn't good enough. They're not "compelling" you to allow your previous 20 years of returns to be audited, they're just upholding the law.

And quite frankly, they aren't going to audit anyone for 20 years of returns over $3000. They don't have the manpower for that.

[1] Once the SOL expires, you can discard that documentation. Tax advisors will generally tell you to keep your documentation for 7 years from when you receive it (because the 6 year window starts in the following year when you file the tax return including that information.)
Small correction: typically it is not the members of a corporation who serve jail time associated with the corporation's criminal activity, but employees. To the extent that these two groups do sometimes overlap due to stock-based compensation schemes, your point is true. However, the corollary, which is that we generally do NOT hold the members of a corporation guilty for the acts of a corporation, remains the somewhat more potent observation.
> On the other extreme end of the spectrum you have a small piece of land where you grow your own food and sell/trade a little surplus for things you cannot make yourself.

Inevitably everybody discovers that they need to work just a little more to make a huge surplus, and then they'll be interested in selling. To have double the output of your work might take only 20% more effort, because you always have the time used setting up your tools/workspace, planning your work and such.
> Phosgene is a highly toxic gas that can cause vomiting and breathing trouble,

I'm a mathematician, not a chemist, but I do know about about phosgene.

The memorable thing about phosgene is not that is causes "breathing trouble" but that it will kill you dead, dead, dead, and once you have a lethal dose, there is no effective treatment, and that it's a "linear poison" - small concentrations over hours and days have exactly the same effect as large concentrations for minutes (many poisons don't work that way).

> Major cities spend 100s of millions per year each on homelessness (LA is $500m-1B iirc, depending on how you attribute), for combined spending of a few B per year, and they cannot even make a dent.

The solution to homelessness is homes. If you aren't spending money giving homeless people homes--not shelters, homes--you're not spending anything on homelessness. You're spending money on compassion theater to make people feel better.

Which cities are spending money on giving homeless people homes? There was a Dutch program at one point, but as far as I can tell there hasn't been a single government program that did this in the US.

Note that programs which require extensive paperwork to validate that you need assistance, are effectively unavailable to most homeless people, as mental illness makes it difficult to go through extensive application processes. This is by design, so that people can point at spending on "assistance" and say it doesn't work, as you are doing. I'm not saying that's your motivation, but it's certainly the origination of the ideas you're promoting.

> As much as I would be receptive to an argument that this is because most public employees are malicious, incompetent grifters,

That's not what I said at all. On the contrary, I think that most public employees are doing the best they can to do as much good as they can within a system that isn't designed to fix homelessness.

> (1) I doubt Musk/etc. could do even an order of magnitude better, especially in the real world, with real-world employees and regulations, (2) even if Musk himself "could" somehow be much more efficient, mutual assistance schemes that would expropriate and use his wealthwould attract, and would be taken over by, the same kinds of structures - public sector unions, etc., as they were pretty much everywhere anything like this has been attempted.

Again, actual attempts to address homelessness have never been attempted on any scale (in the US), because real estate owners, NIMBYs, and people who oppose any public assistance have blocked it at every turn.

Weather balloons go up all the time, what does all of this have to do with the current story?
This only holds if you think of Russia as a single abstract actor with its own interests. Instead Russia, like every country, has individual decision-makers with their own personal interests.

The “Russia did it” argument for Nord Stream is about internal politics. Putin’s war ruined the lifestyles of his elites, who spent most of their time in mansions and yachts in the West. All of that is gone now. It’s tempting for those elites to want to find a way to turn back the clock to February 23, 2022, get the gas money flowing again, and get back to the family villa in the Amalfi Coast. Like Cortes burning the ships to remove the temptation to mutiny, blowing up Nord Stream lets Putin close off this avenue.

Truth is you can tell a plausible story for a lot of actors to do it. But I lean toward the Russia hypothesis because they had less to lose if they got caught.

The US has spent immense political and literal capital on building a coalition to sanction Russia, which could all be undone if it got caught committing an act of war against Germany (no, phone spying is not the same, everyone does that to everyone). Besides, the benefits for the US are hazy, since Germany did not appear open to ever reactivating the pipelines. Why take such a huge risk to prevent something that didn’t appear likely to ever happen, let alone any time soon?

But if it was Russia, what is Germany gonna do to Russia that it’s not already doing? Maybe it would’ve sped up tank deliveries by a few months if they’d caught Russia red-handed, but tanks still happened eventually.
How high does one have to go in airspace to no longer be considered as part of a specific country's airspace?
I was wondering how that compared to Vosk, a lightweight pip-installable speech-to-text library. So I ran Vosk on some of the videos to compare. The model I used is 40MB and transcribed the 32min keynote in 2m12s on 1 CPU core, using 400MB of memory.

The result is not that far. There are some errors of course, notably on acronyms and technical terms ("IBM", "GNU", "GitHub"), but a lot of the mismatches are in areas where both models got things wrong.

Neither of the models got "FOSDEM" right, though Whisper is consistent at using the word "fosstem", whatever that is?

From a function standpoint: I'm happy that multiple PCIe slots is still the standard. If I didn't have functional wants such as "more accelerators and more I/O" then I'd go with a cute ITX build.

I did get a compact case recently because 5.25", 3.5", and 2.5" bays are no longer an interesting use case for my daily driver, but now I find that even if I did want to shell out for a new high-end GPU the only model that would fit in my case is a perpetually sold out AIO model.

"The universe is made of stories, not atoms"

FD is just one of the stories we have to tell that allows us to predict and therefore engineer certain aspects of the universe in which we find ourselves. But it's no more than a story, no matter how fit it may be for the purpose.

Also, the claim would not be that DNNs are better at handling initial conditions, but rather than they are better at spotting patterns (ok, ok, call them correlations) than either ourselves or the systems we've built based on pre-conceived physical models.

Once the dust settles, it will take less time to fix the pipeline than to repair Russia's international standing. That's true even if the pipeline is unsalvageable, because Russia certainly is.

Research: Deepfake 'News Anchors' in Pro-China Footage
My theory is that what Amazon has allowed is for people to cut out the middle-men, and this is ultimately good for the consumer.

Most of the well-known brands (e.g. Hamilton, Cuisinart, Betty Crocker in kitchen supplies) were essentially resellers sourcing from the same pool of Chinese manufacturers. Now the Chinese manufacturers are directly selling to consumers and competing with each other, and the business model for these reseller brands is suddenly defunct.

Or just distribute the source and document how to build it. Why that obsession to distribute the binary yourself?
There's one common logical error we all often make, and it's becoming more relevant by the day. We naturally see things as being either a good choice or a bad choice. But in reality, you're often not choosing between a good choice and a bad choice, but between a bad choice and a horrible choice. So focusing on the bad choice being bad doesn't really therefore suggest that the other choice is any better!
I don't think Chinese military is so incompetent as to believe that the 1st response demonstrated is indicative of the nth response.

Besides, no one's going to run out of missiles, balloons, or money before this escalates in another fashion. This is a rather short stage, not an indefinite future.
Agreed that would be a killer feature. Unzip this package and get a functional Python + Jupyter + scientific (numpy, pandas, scipy, matplotlib) environment.

I have been on-and-off teaching some people Python and the initial setup on-ramp is horrible. Ok, so install Python, now ignore-this-for-now-complications: create a "virtualenv", use this thing called "pip", install these half-dozen things to get a basic notebook (Jupyter + scipy things), install these other half-dozen quality of life things, you should probably also have "conda" for the future, etc. That's a lot of nonsense for someone I am trying to show an alternative to Excel.

My shortcut, "You want to try Python?" approach has been to start with JupyterLite[0] where I can immediately get people coding and delay that pain.

SGI managed to hang on for quite many years after their 3D graphics workstation market tanked by pivoting from Irix/MIPS to Linux/Itanium (later x86-64)(saving a lot of SW and HW development cost) and selling those big shared memory supercomputers. Sure, those were expensive boutique products, but they sat in their own niche that commodity HW couldn't easily touch.

I think what ultimately doomed this was that with increasing core count CPU's the market that really needed much bigger shared memory systems became smaller and smaller.

They were finally bought out by HPE, and while HPE still sells their Altix brand I hear the development of the shared memory supercomputer line has ended and now the Altix memory fabric has been utilized in the enterprise Superdome line.
