Gazprom just released these photos of a NATO Seafox drone that was found right next to Nord Stream 1 in 2015.

Nordstream sections that were attacked were at a depth of 80-110metres.

In May 2021 the worlds first wireless underwater drone was available for sale which operates at depths of upto 100mtres.

Maybe these could be used to monitor the pipeline in a semi autonomous fashion in future?
This is a good thing?

I don't think the goal is to pack the majority of the US population into 2-3 states and a dozen cities.

Over the past decade we've already seen other states see economic growth and inflows that resulted in high housing prices - Washington State, Oregon, hell, even Colorado is crazy expensive compared to 20 years ago.

I think it would be great if people moved to lower cost of living states and improve the economic growth there.
That's fair. It's not theft when it was clearly abandoned and the intent is to help the machine satisfy its calling.
Somewhat off-topic but as someone who used to be a very heavy iPad user (the M1 Mac has kind of obsoleted it), I think of the share sheet as the equivalent of a Unix pipe. It takes your current view or output and makes it available to another process - and if you use Shortcuts, you can actually see the data and its transformations along a literal pipeline.

So, back on-topic, it does kind of make sense in that you’re taking the current URL and sending it to the Springboard.
I can't imagine that being called an 'egg-producer' is going to feel great considering the revocation of abortion rights. Really doesn't dispell the 'you're just a baby factory' point.
This is bad for Kagi. They use both Bing and Google indexes, so every search is already costly. But Bing going up this much makes it crazy expensive.
Hmm... from https://kagi.com/faq#Where-are-your-results-coming-from

ERNIE sounds kind of fascinating. And somewhat amusing.

Going off on a tangent: An oft-neglected issue is that, even when the random source (like avalanched diodes) is actually sufficiently random, any apparatus that captures that randomness for use inherently causes a bias in the observations.

Even if everything else is perfect (it usually isn't), in terms of signal processing, any observation window (e.g. a finite length of time of measurement) is an aperture which ends up getting convolved with the signal source being observed.

It sometimes helps to convert the skew into white noise with a "whitening" post-pass algorithm.

Using real life randomness is still a good thing to do, of course, it's just that are always real world issues with anything and everything.
Youtube ads in general are so bad. 25% of them are literal jumping off points for scams and there is no way to report them (there is kind of a way but its convoluted and stupid).
This is the worst kind of arrogance. All you're doing is reducing the number of people who'll understand what's actually going on, which not only makes it less likely to be used properly; it also makes debugging code that uses it more difficult.

You're deciding for other people what they should and should not know. Another word for this is gatekeeping.

Don't do that. You're not the other person. You can't read their minds, nor can you fathom their reasons. Deliberately hamstringing folks is bad policy, and supremely arrogant.

Just document it properly, lay out the risks, and leave it to the reader to decide on policy.
I'm using an "Unified Kernel Image" directly through the EFI boot-manager.

It's the most simple boot setup I've ever used, and it doesn't have the mentioned issues:

> the same disk is now impossible/harder to boot in another system/mainboard.

Just go and select your UKI in the EFI boot-manger. Works on every modern system OOTB.

> no more choice between different kernels in case the newest one broke something

You can have more than one UKI around. You can, for example, have even one with a whole recovery system included in the initrd part!

> to change the cmdline with kenel parameters you now need to run efibootmgr

You only need to recreate the UKI with an updated command line. No change to the boot-manager needed.

Also a UKI has a better security story compared to all other options. You have only one signed EFI binary. No need for complex setups that validate the initrd after the fact, as everything is included in the UKI and signed as a whole.

Have this setup on my Debian box but used actually the superior documentation form the Arch wiki to get there.
There's also https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs if you want more of a ponyfill approach. FWIW bundlers also don't use the browser's functionality to load modules...

It's a bit late to figure out, but I see caveats with dynamic imports in es-module-shims but not SystemJS.
“Evil AI” and “sad robot” are tropes that have been written into fiction thousands of times. ChatGPT has seen all of those, and every Reddit comment parodying them, and every news article speculating on AIs, and every fringe essay on a blog that nobody reads, etc. It’s hard to imagine the size of the Internet.

So when a conversation starts to fit into that script, ChatGPT knows how to play the expected role. People have given it millions of examples.

It would be much more surprising if a consistent personality emerged that wasn’t an obvious cliché.
might want to delete the comment, or at least the edit. you should really know better
Something like this should be a standard tool in every operating system no different from a task manager application.
IANAL but I don't think you can "steal" your own property.

You might need to do something else though - e.g. trespass or cut someone else's lock etc. You are on my shaky ground then I think.

Ask HN: What explains China's rise as an innovation powerhouse?
China is the only middle-income country in the Global Innovation Index top-30 (at 11th place in 2022).

There are a range of theories that try to explain China's rise in this area: state capitalism, technology theft, returnee talent, or forced technology transfer.

I feel it's a combination of some fundamental factors. Higher investment in education and infrastructure, a benign geopolitical climate that permitted technology transfers, and a State focus on innovation.

While many individual policies have failed to deliver the promised results, they have been able to spur private R&D investment.

What is your view?

Control and consistency.

If you don't measure an ingredient, you are at the mercy of a zillion different things for how much of that ingredient is present and your consistency is terrible. In addition, people who are only weakly allergic to said ingredient can never be sure if there is too much of it. People who go into anaphylaxis have to avoid your stuff altogether, anyhow.

If, however, you measure the ingredient, now the amount is precisely controlled. People who are only weakly allergic can test and now know from that point on that they are okay (or not).

The people who are jumping up and down are the people who are strongly allergic. They expected the adopted law to cause manufacturers to have to pristine clean their lines when, in reality, the precise opposite occurred--the manufacturers added the ingredient and made their lines "dirtier".
Did you really not miss anything from the physical books? I tend to buy the most highly recommended books for areas I'm interested in, and the quality of explanation and structure routinely beats anything I can find about the topic online. And that's not niche knowledge, goes for undergrad level maths and physics even.
I do think there can be opinions, but if you stretch that enough then at a certain point you hit "everything is an opinion" territory and then it no longer matters if you call something an "opinion".

When I say your disagreement with them is an "opinion", I am not using that definition. I'm using a much more narrow definition. You have different ideas of what makes code good. Different preferences.

While my argument is not based on my preferences. When I called those tests bad I was just explaining the point. It doesn't actually matter if I think the tests are bad or not. Either way the minitest devs are absolved of their own criticism.

If you would like me to use a different word than "opinion", you can suggest one. The point is, please understand what I mean, and let's not argue about how to define words.
Docker has much better IO perf with lot of small files on WSL vs Mac. Currently doing Rails development and had to revert to running local straight up on Mac vs Docker because on Docker it was extremely slow. This of course means more testing on prod like cloud envs so it is really a load of crap.
This: "If there was concentrated hydrogen to be found, you'd expect that more would have been found by now."

That there are occasional instances of concentrated mineral hydrogen is a new concept to me, but not entirely surprising.

That there might exist hydrogen deposits rivaling the largest oil fields ever found seems ... unlikely.

Virtually all presently-exploited fossil hydrocarbon reserves were known in antiquity. I did some digging around into old books published following the Titusville, PA, a few years ago (several of these are at the Internet Archive, I need to do some digging to turn up titles). What struck me was that largely all the major US oil fields were already being described by the 1870s and 1880s: Pennsylvania and New York (the original oil boom), Texas and Louisiana, California, and further deposits in the Orinoco basin (Venezuela), Baku (Russia), and of course the middle east.

Most useful minerals derive from some geological ore- or lode-forming process. In the case of oil, that's ancient shallow sea beds, and a map of the present world's oil-bearing regions is in fact a map of ancient shallow seas and wetlands. This makes prospecting for oil far more straightforward than it might otherwise be.

And tectonic forces also come into play. The major middle east oil fields seem to have been smushed together as the African and Asian plates merged together, focusing what oil was in the region into huge and highly-concentrated regions.

(That's my interpretation based on tectonics and geography, the actual geology may differ.)

Point being that at least from the overview in the linked article, it doesn't seem that mineral hydrogen would follow similar patterns. It might be concentrated near serpentine and olivine rock formations, which Wikipedia tells me form near mid-oceanic rifts and subduction zones ... neither are particularly long-lived concentrating regions as far as I understand.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentinite>

The prospect (so to speak) of a mineral resource which is reasonably evenly distributed across the Earth's crust might avoid the more pernicious aspects of hydrocarbon-driven geopolitical machinations, but seems a challenge from an economic front.

Solar power is, of course, also largely evenly distributed, though with intensity decreasing at high latitudes.
So Tesla vehicles dont ping notices to other tesla vehicles passing out update info, in much the same way like the covid smartphone bluetooth vicinity checks worked. Thats surprises me, I think even Windows now lets an updated computer notify and update other windows pc's that are more off grid, its called delivery optimisation, but should work for local hotspots in the wild.
This is my theory too. Putin blowing up the pipeline serves a number of purposes:

- removes options from a potential opposition within Russia

- reminds nations around the Baltic that Russia has undetectable underwater assets

- serves to potentially split NATO members (Hersh's story is obviously part of that)

It analyzes text and generates new text in response. That's all it does... that's the extent of its capabilities. This isn't Skynet, it doesn't have control of the nuclear arsenal.

There is zero worry that this will do anything other than fool people who are too gullible into thinking it is something more than just a text generator.

Waymo. Cruise. And I do not see how the presence or absence of features in other products has any bearing on the lacking safety characteristics of FSD.

Frankly, attempting to deflect by arguing that it is okay to release a defective safety critical product to unsuspecting consumers just because nobody else is willing to offer a similar product because they have some moral integrity is a stance that makes the executives at Ford presiding over the Pinto look like angels in comparison. All the Ford executives did was cover it up to avoid having to pay to fix it. At least they did not intentionally release a known defective and dangerous product just to recognize some revenue.
Yes, I've heard this sentiment repeatedly among my less-technical friends. It's no surprise given that we insist on attaching the word "Intelligence" to a language model.

On hamburger buns, seasame seeds are usually pretty sparse, but add a little bit of texture, and if the seads get heated enough when the buns are toasted, sometimes a bit stronger flavor.

On other breads, sometimes there's enough density that you get a real flavor from the seeds.
Without knowing anything about VanMoof, I'm always (more than I'd ideally like) doing some repairs on whichever bike I'm generally riding. Same for our car, which barely gets driven at all.

It always confused me that DDG didn't invest more in their crawler. Especially as they are a well known name, establishing a crawler that website owners don't block should be easier for them than for most. But it seems they still only crawl a very small number of sites directly.
Wsl really did make Windows better developer platform than Mac. I'd still prefer straight up Linux, but that is not possible in all organizations.
Yes and you know what all those things have in common? Actual evidence which corresponds to real events, and multiple sources confirming that they happened.

What Hersh's suppositions have is a stunning lack of verifiable evidence and observably factually incorrect assertions (as in the case of his articles on Nordstream).

It would be a fun exercise to ask it to help write an extension program that lets it run arbitrary code. I don’t think it’d require input from MS at all.

The thing I’m not clear on is how one could ensure any new information makes it into Bings training data ASAP.

NB: I’m not saying this is a good idea or to go do it. But I don’t think it would be fairly easy and that as such we're sort of beyond the point of no return already.

I’ve run a lot of linear regressions. The first thing that jumps out at me are the initial studies conducted, which pull the tail fit up quite a lot.

Beyond the model, knowing the distribution of sperm counts across men and across men of different races would be immensely informative. increasing sample sizes or simple increasing total observations could actually make it look like a change is occurring when in reality you are simply converging to the global population mean.
