Fortunately we have much better technology to help locate and remove or destroy unexploded ordinance. We also have the benefit of satellite surveillance to help determine where all this ordinance landed so that even if later operations change the landscape we can see where impacts occurred at each stage and have a real clue about where we should focus. It will be a huge task but it will be made more manageable by the improvement in the tools utilized today versus after previous conflicts.

I would love it if even one of the database experts who are so sure that the comparisons are somehow rigged, would actually run their own benchmark to prove it wrong instead of just speculating.

Get any moderately sized table (millions of rows and a dozen or more columns) on your 'highly-tuned' postgres database with all the proper indexes in place and load that same data into Didgets (takes a whole 10 minutes to download the software and start using it) and run whatever queries suits your fancy.
If we were getting closer to ww3, the stock market would crater and stay down like 1929. If you start seeing "wall street brokers" and "defenestrate" in news headlines, then maybe it's time to start worrying. The markets are doing fine so you needn't worry.

This is theater. A planned and staged propaganda campaign to get the masses distracted and silly. The easiest way to tell is if NPR and Fox news are singing the same tune.

We went through this last year with the chinese space debris "scare". A nothing turned into mass hysteria by the media and pentagon. Just look at the "hysterias" we went through the past decade. If the masses had a collective memory, we'd simply see through this already and ignore it.

If any of the news hysteria were true, we'd all be dead of covid, putin would have nuked our covid infested corpses and chinese space debris would litter our graves. Oh yeah and democracy would have ended because of a few hundred rowdy protestors.

I wish there was "news" to hold news accountable. I'll bet in a few months, this will all be forgotten. And we'll get another manufactured scare of some kind.

This is what we were taught on seismic crews too. It is generally okay and safe to burn sticks of dynamite (TNT) but just make sure you don't whack them really hard trying to put it out. The energy required to make it explode was supplied by a blasting cap which took a small electrical voltage to cause it to pop, roughly a half volt if I remember right (40 years ago so no guarantees.) You didn't want to disturb the blasting caps but you could toss the sticks of TNT anywhere with no consequences.

Sorry, but inflation has driven the prices of food up double digits.

Show HN: Channel 784, infinite AI generated fake news
I was inspired by Nothing Forever to make something while it's off air - Channel 784. It's a parody of evening news.

How it works: I have a Node server that generates headlines, then expands each one and creates an intro and outro based on them, and then passes the headlines to DALL-E to generate pictures for each story and the stories to Google Cloud to generate speech. Then I save that as a JSON and load it into Unreal Engine.

I'm not sure it's as funny as Nothing Forever, it's a bit more structured. If anyone's got any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Yes, and that’s one of the reasons why tests are imperfect. That doesn’t mean that introducing any additional variables is warranted, especially given their associated noise. GPA is garbage, for example, which is why I ignore it on resumes. If the test has unacceptably high variance as you mentioned, the solution is to make the test longer not discount it.

Based on who tested postive (and indeed negative) when, it appears our 8 year-old gave it to my OH, but not to his 12 year-old brother (with whom he shares a bedroom). When my OH had it, she didn't give it to me, either, and I was testing very frequently back then due to work & travel requirements.

There is a hypothesis that the risk of catching Covid from someone may be related to the relative blood types. Based on the veeery small sample size of our immediate family it's definitely not the case that Covid always spreads quickly round a family group, despite us not having changed anything about our family routine when somone in the house was positive. We didn't send anyone to a separate bedroom, no-one wore a mask at home, and we all sat at the meal table together just as normal.

FWIW My 12 year-old and I had Covid approximately two months later, when he caught it in his school and brought it home.

Not sure I believe that it can be done beyond a reasonable doubt. I still don't see what evidence there is that these things are Chinese. It's probably speculation and nothing more. It might still be true, but the attribution is likely highly speculative.
It sounds absurd, but I can kind of see how it would happen. My guess is that the laws for TV licenses were written before smart phones were a thing. These laws probably have some definition of what a TV like "a screen plugged into a power outlet that can receive live, over the air video" and a smart phone happens to meet that definition when it's plugged in. It takes time and effort to update these laws and no one actually cares enough to do it. Some lawyer at Starbucks noticed this quirk and is covering the companies ass, but at the end of the day, no one actually gives a shit.

Ahhh .. we had that debate at length 116 years ago in Australia.

Harvester Judgement

In 1907 Justice Henry Bourne Higgins, President of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Court, set the first federally arbitrated wages standard in Australia.

Using the Sunshine Harvester Factory as a test case, Justice Higgins took the pioneering approach of hearing evidence from not only male workers but also their wives to determine what was a fair and reasonable wage for a working man to support a family of five.

It's been modified and tweaked a few times since but the minimum wage (in a G-20 country with AAA credit rating and consistently performent GDP, good health and education, etc) is generally bench marked to support food and housing for an atomic family unit.

I dare say central north america might make some movement there within a century or two.
Look no further than a basic hormone - leptin - to see how you can't give people more of it to lose weight while in fact leptin is the main mediator of obesity. Modern medicine hasn't produced a magic leptin pill to stop obesity because the biology is very complicated. You can't just inject leptin and lose weight (unless you don't produce leptin if you were severely damaged in an accident).

Which is why the EU issued the "recovery certificate" and put it on the same basis as a negative test, and why our schools didn't test recovered children (to clarify: were mandated not to test recovered children) after they returned to school after having Covid.
It's not even about the expensive missiles - in fact long range Surface-to-Air missiles would be cheaper compared to scrambling fighters around.

not op but this comment helped me give a nice parallel:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34755035

you know how a while back, engineers were doing all of our calculations by hand with pencil and paper?

after some time, we made a tool and called it the calculator.

now, we had a gadget that could perform math for us, and we started using it, at first hesistently, then side-by-side, then just giving the result a cursory glance

sure some of us still turn in an answer like "Low Battery"

but most of us give the results a cursory glance before sending it on

to parallel the calculator, chatgpt is like a calculator for communication

you throw your arguments into it, and with a cursory glance at the results, can submit it as finished work

-------- I put the above into chatGPT and here's what came out:

Imagine a world where engineers had to perform all of their calculations by hand. It was time-consuming and prone to errors, yet it was the only way to get the job done. Then, a revolutionary tool emerged: the calculator. With its ability to perform complex mathematical calculations, it quickly gained popularity and became a staple in every engineer's toolkit.

Similarly, in today's world, we have a tool that can revolutionize the way we communicate - ChatGPT. Just like the calculator made it easier for engineers to perform mathematical calculations, ChatGPT makes it easier for us to communicate effectively. Instead of spending hours trying to articulate our thoughts, we can simply throw our arguments into ChatGPT and get a well-crafted response with a cursory glance.

Sure, there may be instances when the results are not exactly what we were looking for, just like a calculator displaying "Low Battery." But the majority of the time, ChatGPT's responses are accurate and reliable. With ChatGPT, we can communicate with confidence and ease, just as we did when we started using the calculator.

In conclusion, ChatGPT is the calculator for communication. It saves us time, reduces errors, and ensures that our arguments are effectively conveyed. So why not embrace this tool and start using it today? You'll be amazed at how much easier and more effective your communication will become.
