Chechnya was a civil war within the internationally recognized borders of Russia, not an invasion. The only foreign power that had recognized independent Chechnya was Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

There was a general feeling in the early and mid-2000s that Russia was finally changing for the better. The economy was growing and the quality of life was improving for many Russians. While no one mistook Putin for a democratic leader, he wasn't particularly bad as far as semi-authoritarian leaders go.

The invasion of Georgia in 2008 was a turning point, because people didn't believe Putin would go to war to prevent the expansion of NATO. But it wasn't a particularly big shock, because military interventions as an extension of foreign policy were quite common in the 1990s and 2000s. It was more unpleasant with "their side" doing it, but as long as "our side" was also doing it, military interventions were a legitimate policy tool. International politics is pretty childish in this respect.

After the invasion, politicians had much less favorable views of Putin. But they continued dealing with him, assuming that he would act based on rational self-interest. The real shock in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine was not the invasion itself but the irrationality of it. If Putin could miscalculate his actions so badly, it made no sense to treat him as a rational actor anymore.

As in, they sometimes have good ideas, and then just entirely butcher the implementation: either they do it directly (Unity and Mir's in-house development), or they adopt an external source of bad implementations (Redhat's pulseaudio and systemd initiatives; both good ideas on paper, but then just become a thorn in everyone's side for a decade until better alternatives appear ).

We've sold over 467 seagliders with a $7.9B order backlog spanning global aviation and ferry customers.

I would think this is pre-launch sales. It's probably hedged with "subject to certification" risk, but it's still pretty solid, and if it came with sufficient deposit fundings to bootstrap the assembly line, all to the good. But, my understanding is that both boats and aircraft (and this is a join over the two) incur pretty high compliance costs for insurance and regulatory certification. Its a long slow process, it is not as simple as "do it in the USA and it's done" by any stretch.

(their FAQ says: "REGENT’s seagliders are regulated as maritime vessels, not airplanes.")

Many transport manufacturing startups come unstuck with actually making product. Real-world consequences to advanced materials, the massive cost-suck of making the goods repeatably buildable without a huge tail-cost of remediation, digging out from development cost, it's a nightmare.

It's also possible there's a set of marine/air conditions this is better than aircraft for: it stays below 100m would make it much easier to "fly" in some conditions. Equally, if its really only coastal/lake waters and not when its more than 2m swell (arbitrary figure for example purposes) then its launch conditions could be highly variable.

Could this to Vancouver to the Island? The Island to The Olympic peninsula? Seattle into the sound? Could it make the Catalinas from California coastline? Or Baja Cali to the "mainland" of Mexico?

I lived in West Germany off and on in the '70s-'90s. I am a Brit. If you recall, that period is referred to as the Cold War - Mum and Dad were both soldiers and we got posted abroad a lot.

He deals with IT snags in Britain the same way I do - over the blower and with remote access tools, such as Mesh Central.

Not only is Apple not obligated to do so, they literally double down their investment as recently as 2021. In 2022 their total Chinese Suppliers were still rising. And that is excluding some suppliers slotted into other countries via different HQ strategy.

To see how many people believe Apple is doing the right thing just shows another master piece of Apple's PR.

"In high winds, take-off must be into the wind, which takes the craft across successive lines of waves, causing heavy pounding, stressing the craft and creating an uncomfortable ride. In light winds, waves may be in any direction, which can make control difficult as each wave causes the vehicle to both pitch and roll. The lighter construction of GEVs makes their ability to operate in higher sea states less than that of conventional ships, but greater than the ability of hovercraft or hydrofoils, which are closer to the water surface. The demise of the conventional seaplane was a result of its inability to operate in rough sea conditions even while flying conditions were good, and its use lasted only until runways were more commonly available. GEVs are similarly limited."

The Java tests (Loom in particular), and possibly other langauge runtimes too in this benchmark, can't be compared without looking at the runtime settings.

JVM for example has a default heap size of 25% to 50%, depending on how much memory is available in the system. Given that the code is using ArrayList, there will be more need for bigger heap, due to array expansion. To eliminate that noise, the code should be changed to a pure Thread[] array with a fixed size based on numTasks.

Once that is done, you may as well run up to 10_000 tasks (virtual threads) within a JVM that consumes no more than 32 MB of RAM (compared to 78MB as originally reported by OP).

These were the best results I could find after playing a bit:

# Run single task
docker run --memory 26m --rm java-virtual-threads 1

# Run 10 tasks
docker run --memory 26m --rm java-virtual-threads 10

# Run 100 tasks

# Run 1_000 tasks

They gain access to modem / radio patents. They settled with Qualcomm so they can continue to do business with Qualcomm and purchase modem as well as paying patents to use it.

This news means they are going ahead with their own modem. And judging by this announcement date it will be iPhone 16 at the earliest before their Modem ship.

> Chechnya is not a country.

There was a Chechen Republic of Ichkeria that existed until getting slaughtered, occupied, and retrospectively written out of the books by Russia.

Yeltsin (and later Putin) was a baddie that West hoped to trade with, so they were willing to push aside the issue of Chechnya calling it an internal conflict.

But in reality the level of Russian war crimes was unparalleled, sometimes even worse than what's happening in Ukraine.

Internationally no high-ranking Russian officials or military officers were ever prosecuted or actually condemned for these war crimes.

Most countries have turned a blind eye and didn't act with urgency: https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2020...

Some (most?) browsers support a non-transparent forward proxy. But you really have to trust it, because you're giving it man-in-the-middle control over all of your browser sessions.

Mega.nz: Silent data corruption (folder removal)?
I've experienced a very strange issue recently: my MEGAsync linux client crashed yesterday. I've launched it again and it asked me to log in so I did. Today I've noticed that one of the synced folders (I'm using selective sync) has completely disappeared from MEGA without any traces, it also disappeared from the client's sync list. Fortunately, I had a local copy which is still intact. An empty folder named "MEGASync" appeared in the root folder of MEGA.

So, it looks like MEGA might silently destroy your data under some unclear circumstances. Did anyone experience anything similar to that? Is there anything I can do to restore my data if that happens?

>I call it the "forever fallacy." It's really quite simple. The forever fallacy is the belief that the circumstances that led to extraordinary growth will continue indefinitely, even when they obviously aren't. It's the idea that growth, no matter how irrational, will continue because the change in circumstances that caused it is permanent.

Sorry for my unclarity, but I understand the point at issue (of GP and this thread) to be how a prolongation of mutual economic relations with Russia was not justifiable morally, not how well a country could cope with an abrupt end of these relations economically or in terms of the well-being of their own population. You seem to argue with regard to the latter, and I would concur, although the linked article shows that after Germanyʼs 58.9 percent went down to zero, they either, in fact, could let their population freeze (household consumption went down) or got over it in other ways (a considerable part of the 58.9 percent was industrial consumption).
That doesn't really sound comparable unless you actually grew up in the USSR (your comment is kind of ambiguous as to whether you're from the area or just grew up in the US during that time period).

The soviet era had the risk of nuclear, but there was still a good chance that would never happen. By contrast, most of the things OP mentioned are already happening.

I used to think that too, even as recently as the last time I saw someone posting how they made GPT-3 write commit messages automatically.

However

There are couple reasons why I think this may be valid use case:

- Code is a static serialization artifact. It's unfortunate we still work with it directly, but that's another conversation; fact is, we are working with it directly, and if there is commentary relevant to the code, it's best placed in the code, so it remains if the tools generating them dynamically (like your "on-hover" IDE plugin idea) become unavailable or stop working (or start generating different outputs after some update).

- It's true that the comments should talk about "why" much more than "how", as the "why" is often not apparent in the code itself. However, "not apparent" doesn't mean "independent" - the code structures and the reasons for their existence are correlated. GPT-4 may have seen enough and be smart enough to actually spot those - as if it was a developer familiar with the problem space, going all "yeah, I've seen this type of code before - it's likely trying to ${high level goal}". Generating those comments would be valuable.

Of course, generated comments should be reviewed and edited at the point of generation, to make sure they're accurate and reference actual documents/tickets/design decisions. Whether or not an average developer will do that - that's another topic.

if you are not rich, what makes you so special to think you can be rich , after leaving the govt?

What has changed since the moment you joined, (nonrich), and now suddenly, you leave and you are hot stuff ?

You can still earn a living in govt, even nice money ( >$100k+ for senior jobs) the point is, that is your cap. Job security and duty come at a price. That price is not trading in insider govt connections.

You can live comfortably. You can have job security. But you cannot get rich off it. That is your "sacrifice" if you want to call it that.

And to be clear, because i realize my comment was not: You can have a really nice bump in earnings while in govt.
- For example, if you have an avg salary of 50k, then join govt, at make 100k, that bump is yours to keep just like everyone playing by the same rules. However, once you leave govt, your cap goes back to 50k . So either retire in govt or just go back to what your situation was.

As you may imagine, the complaint is never that public service pays "well" therefore the hypotetical is very unlikely to happen in the first place.
