1. It was falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater, and it was not formative of the opinion itself (Schenck vs United States) but rather an aside.

2. Schenck vs United States was largely overturned by Brandenburg vs Ohio, but this aside was still non-jurisprudential.

3. I am unfamiliar with Justice Alito’s opinion on the matter and you didn’t cite it, so with no context I will only temporarily defer to you for the purpose of saying this: SCOTUS makes jurisprudence through the rulings and opinions they hand down when they take a majority vote in conference, draft opinions and sign on to them. One Justice does not make jurisprudence over a statement which itself was never jurisprudential.

Reason wears their ideological stripes on their sleeves, but this is still essentially a myth that doesn’t die and a fuller explanation of it isn’t a matter of ideology.

You still shouldn’t falsely shout fire in a crowded theater, as people will die. You also shouldn’t pretend a fire isn’t there or part of the show either as people will also die. Basically, if there’s a fire in a theater you’re in, just be glad for modern building and fire codes.

Evernote to raise prices for Personal and Professional accounts
Historically, just getting anything to another planet costs in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Perseverance launch alone cost $243 million (total mission cost was $2.7 billion). It is an enormous expenditure.

You might be interested that Rocket Lab's Electron now can launch small interplanetary spacecraft for low-eight figures (~$10 million for the launch to lunar orbit for NASA CAPSTONE, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPSTONE#Launch).

However, the Electron payload capacity is small (a few hundred KGs). I doubt it is enough for much equipment, but I believe a camera/radio/parachute is feasible. Take these prices with a big grain of salt, as I am just a hobbyist, but now you can get a spacecraft to an interplanetary body for probably around $20-$30 million dollars. As costs fall and other next-gen rockets become operational, I am hopeful that we see more interplanetary landings over the coming decades.

Huh... I'll have to re-read. (it's been 3+ decades for me)

I had been recalling that the raw materiel (the "beads", see millefiori in neighbouring thread) was shared, part of the "extant literature" if you will, but that plays were supposed to be novel as well as good. (a bit like an LZ decompressor, where each additional bit of input both recalls something in the dictionary and adds a new entry)

I have been assuming it was the players' personal styles that provided the novelty, but upon reflection that could easily be my US background more than the source text speaking!

Edit: come to think of it, maybe that's a valid criticism of the game as played in Castalia — that the castalians had become too conventional, losing the playfulness of their play?

(in possible relation, I was watching a national championship final over a decade ago with the mother of one of the contestants: she was very critical of her daughter, and correctly predicted the other would become champion. Why, I asked during the match? Her response: her daughter always came up with the classical textbook plays, whereas the the eventual champion knew how to exploit gambits: plays that were, on paper, weaker, but in practice, strong due to the element of surprise)
I'm pretty sure that you'd be more than fine competing against a bunch of folks with cs degrees if you have an actually interesting portfolio/OSS contributions/freelance experience etc. I have a degree but not a cs degree (entirely self taught there) and at least a couple years ago early in the pandemic (pre 2021 bubble) it wasn't that hard to break in. Right now it's probably harder for everyone, not just people without cs degrees

2. Waging a war of aggression - is punishable by deprivation of liberty for a term of ten to twenty years."
Well, if that particular phrase is poisoned, I guess I could just say "Hobbit" instead, which is owned as a trademark IIRC by the Tolkien estate and they're very litigious about it.

You can't say "Hobbit" in your own stories. But you can say "Halfling", and that's how people tend to get around that problem. Blonde Thor is Disney/Marvel (Historical Thor was a redhead IIRC, so Blonde Thor is Disney/Marvel Trademark), etc. etc. Plenty of restrictions on Free Speech in practice.
I have personally been trying to find either a language which transpiles to c or c++ or one with near performance to run on a ESP32. It would be nice to also make use of existing c++ libraries. I’ve seen NodeMCU, go lite, mini python, you name it. Any suggestions? I am considering rust or zig…
> the ADR-50e drive was advertised as compatible, but there was a cave-at

I'm assuming the use of "cave-at" means the author has inferred an etymology of "caveat" being made up of "cave" and "at", as in: this guarantee has a limit beyond which we cannot keep our promises, if we ever find ourselves AT that point then we're going to CAVE. (As in cave in, meaning give up.) I can't think of any other explanation of the odd punctuation. Really quite charming, I'm sure I've made similar inferences in the past and ended up spelling or pronouncing a word completely wrong until I found out where it really comes from. There's an introverted cosiness to this kind of usage, like someone who has gained a whole load of knowledge and vocabulary from quietly reading books without having someone else around to speak things out loud.
In this context it would definitely be the byte length
For me a lot of AI uses on the web right now are ways of creating "fake" things

I've been trying to get a Pi Zero 2 for a while. Can't find it anywhere. I can't seem to make any alternatives for the project work due mostly to a lack of support/docs/libraries and my own lack of expertise. In theory it should work with ESP32 (first preference), Teensy 4.1, and possibly a Banana Pi M2 Zero. I got it to basically work on an old Pi Zero, but it was laggy due to xwindows and only one slow core. Maybe I can figure out how to slim it down more, but I doubt it. I guess I'm waiting an unknown time for a Pi Zero 2...

I don't know what you mean by "law of optimality," so I can't answer that question.

> As for elections: seeing what you've seen, do you consider the system (across all states) to be more or less air tight, and also that this is necessarily knowable?

It's definitely not airtight. But airtight is fragile. Not unlike the Internet, It's better than airtight: it's decentralized and distributed.

Each state runs its own election. Each election district (varies from state-to-state, because it really is fifty states with fifty sets of laws) sets its own policies for running its election. Each polling location is locally administered. The coordination necessary to attack such a decentralized and adversarial system (remember: the party affiliation of individuals within this process varies wildly, with many of the "battleground states" run by GOP operatives) is preposterous to assume, especially as a secret conspiracy. Any such conspiracy would be at a scale that would be obvious.

One potential attack vector would be electronic voting machines, but (a) as previously noted: lawsuit, settled, wouldn't have settled if the truth was on the side of those accused of defamation and (b) those digital records are backed (in most jurisdictions, and specifically in the jurisdictions that were considered "battleground" in 2020) by paper records. Aligning fraud in the two records to escape the notice of poll workers, counters, and board officials (who are, again, generally of both major parties) is an absurdly improbable scenario.

It's been three years since the 2020 election. That's more than enough time for the accusations levied by one party to materialize into something concrete and legally-actionable, something other than ghosts and innuendo. When all the accuser has is ghosts and innuendo, the critical thinker asks why a concrete story of fraud with numbers and responsible parties hasn't manifested.
I was pointing out that a booking funnel is not a place where this is necessarily a bad pattern, and this is already covered in the article.

Why would that be enough? Being able to replace the firmware doesn't help if you don't have something to replace it with, and part of the problem is vendors not bothering to ship bugfixes.

The danger here is everyone filling space with satellites as a means of defense. When the war starts, Kessler Syndrome kicks in, and everyone loses their defenses in a few days.

> The combination of perfect, real-time information via synthetic aperture radar and highly maneuverable hypersonics turns an aircraft carrier into an extremely expensive floating coffin.

For that you need a synthetic aperture radar and a highly maneuverable hypersonic missile. Aircraft carriers are surrounded by other ships and have air wings flying air patrols. If you paint an aircraft carrier with SAR you're likely to eat a couple AAMRAMs or SM-3s.

With a hypersonic missile it needs an explosion big enough to disable a carrier within its CEP radius. The most likely warhead capable of that would be nuclear. So you've just started a nuclear war with the United States.
My favorite ArcServe bug which they released a patch for (and which didn’t actually fix the issue, as I recall) had a KB article called something along the lines of “The Open Database Backup Agent for Lotus Notes Cannot Backup Open Databases”.
Those criticisms are not about the technical capability of missile defenses, but the scale at which they are deployed. If you can shoot down anything, but you only have 40 shots, obviously you can be defeated by anyone who can make 41 of even the crudest missiles. Likewise the best tank in the world is much less effective after it runs out of ammo. But if the issue is merely scale, all you need to do is make more interceptors, which is a finite and predictable expense, as opposed to developing a new technology which could be a massive money pit that ultimately fails.

The US maintains a rather small inventory of interceptors because for the past few decades only small strikes by rogue nations or accidental launches by major powers have been considered likely threats, and a large number of interceptors jeopardizes mutually assured destruction, which has been a much more cost effective counter against large scale nuclear exchanges. But there's nothing saying the US needs to stick to the current number if the global geopolitical situation changes.

>> it’s important to note that memory safety is only one kind of bug.

Is it? Large companies with huge code bases (meaning lots of statistical significance) have said 70 percent of their CVEs could not have happened if that code was written in Rust. Not only are those kinds of errors very common, they can be IMHO a pain to debug.

So given the prevalence of memory safety issues, why do you find it important to remind people that other kinds of bugs exist?

Yes it is a hyperbole. Billionaires aren’t literally buying bunkers and armed guards. They are however buying superyachts, private jets, acres of remote property with private airstrips, fenced mansions in heavily policed areas (including inside many dictatorships), etc.

These together function as a bunker with armed guards to protect them against the effects of climate change.

When it is too smokey in Claifornia where one of your mansion is, simply fly your private jet to Kamchatka where you last parked your superyacht. Or if it is also smokey in Kamchatka, you have a smaller yacht parked in Patagonia.

As a man that am eternally brooding over my own thoughts, and confine them to my own particular concerns, I am at all hours as well prepared as I am ever like to be, and death, whenever he shall come, can bring nothing along with him I did not expect long before. We should always, as near as we can, be booted and spurred, and ready to go, and, above all things, take care, at that time, to have no business with any one but one’s self.

A few hundred missiles taking out large fixed critical infra like refineries is existential. Advanced rocketry tech is eroding fortress American with will greatly limit US expeditionary posture that relies on unmolested homefront. Think precise long range strikes against ships in port or strategic bombers in harden bunkers, space infra stations or production facilities. Everything changes when CONUS becomes vunerable to foreign power projection - something that constrains nearly every US adversary who has to consider homeland strikes.

E: over post limit

IMO RU has been relatively restrained in attacking power infra, mostly lower level nodes (substations) on the grid that's repairable vs what happened to Baghdad during first gulf war, worsened by western sanctions that prevented repair. UKR resilience mostly largely due to having access to spare parts from global producers. It hasn't been a "hands off" situation. Replacing transformers is very different from rebuilding power plants. Severely grading infra is closer to "call it quits' ' total war which war hasn't yet devolve to.

> it couldn't have won the war anyway

This is more or less the point. Critical infra vulnerability on CONUS opens up the “let's not have unwinnable war condition” - it's essentially an escalation rung that US hasn't had to deal with, and will circumscribe the ability for the US to respond. It's function more useful in context deterrence via conventional MAD in peer scenarios (i.e. US vs PRC over TW). There's a reason Biden specifically communicated to PRC and RU that even cyber attacks on US critical infra will be interpreted no different than kinetic war. The value of global precision strike hypersonics is predominantly to shape/limit US behaviour in the same way US carrier groups or strategic bombers projected off adversaries' shores shape/limit theirs. And so far the US has near unilateral monopoly over such deterrence/coercion/persuasion.
Titanium is very hard to work with; for instance the carbide coatings on many drill-bits can cause it to degrade over time. Tooling for production of the blackbirds was a challenge in and of itself, as little was known about working with titanium at the time.

Regarding the positional encoding, why not include a scalar in the range (0..1) with every token where the scalar encodes the position of the token?

Two points:

- The Patriot system is modular, there are pictures of the different parts on Wikipedia[0]. When Russia says they've destroyed a Patriot, what exactly have they hit? The radar? A launcher? Hitting one component of the system is not exactly the same as destroying the whole thing.

- Decoys are used during these attacks. Both Russia[1] and Ukraine[2] use them. Even if no one lies, I assume that the number of targets seen by the defenders will always be higher than the number of missiles launched.
