Its perhaps worth noting that literal hypersonic “ballistic missile warheads with wings” were developed by the US for ICBMs in the 1970s, and are deployed by many countries on ICBMs or MRBMs (ironically, not the US, whose last MARV-capable missiles were the Pershing II, retired in 1991.)

I think the deal with the Avengard (and the US C-HGB as used on the soon-to-be-deployed LRHW) is bigger wings / lifting body giving it greater maneuvering capacity through a flatter flight phase trading more of its speed for lateral displacement than earlier maneuverable ballistic missile warheads.

EXAMPLES

Examples are critical to comprehension, are immensely practical, yet are often viewed as fluff.
Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole does have issues, but trying to mitigate GERD symptoms with antacids and failing to suppress it fully cauaes worse issues. It takes massives doses to significantly suppress the stomach acid - typical doses just reduces it a bit.

If you need PPIs for extended periods of time you absolutely should talk to a doctor to rule out potentially serious possibilities, though.

Armbian seems decent for software and supports multiple SBCs. I'm bot sure what the issue is, but stuff doesn't just work like it does with the Raspberry Pi. I have a Banana Pi M2 Zero since I can't find a Pi Zero 2. It simply won't run the stuff I need it to. The GPIO setup seems to be different or something. I just cannot get a Lepton working with it. Supposedly there is software to work the Lepton with a Teensy, but it seems they want you to buy a kit since I don't see any real instructions on what gpio to use and how to set it up. But I'm probably just dumb.

I saw that. But I don’t want similar points. I what the exact points put forth by the article.

But again, they already have the sources. They know exactly what reference they are using for facts they bring up. The extra work involved is Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V.

The exact same argument could be said about scientific papers. The benefit of the community is that they will do the detective work of finding the references. I don’t know about you, but I would see this as a serious step backward.

Business documents also have to back up their statements. Even 15 year olds in school are expected to include references.

Let’s look at what they do include links for:
> In another analysis, prominent climatologist Katharine Hayhoe monitored responses to a tweet on climate change that she published twice, as an experiment, on separate dates before and after Musk’s takeover.

The italics are mine and they are a hyperlink in the article. Reading that sentence I, and I suspect many others, would expect the hyperlink to take us to something related to Katharine Hayhoe‘a work. But it doesn’t. It takes us to [1], which is talking about Musk making himself the sole director. That link is basically irrelevant as a reference for that paragraph.

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

This here is the evolving nature of the court that I want to highlight most of all however.

In 1919, the Supreme Court believed one thing. Later, in 1969, half-a-century later, it believed another thing and overturned the earlier ruling.

As an organization, the Supreme Court tends to try to be consistent. But its not always true, and certainly in these days where we've had a dramatic change in the makeup of the court + filled it with young justices, we're going to see a big change in how the court writes opinions in the years, and decades, to come.

-----------

Laws are written. Constitutional Amendments are written. A few years ago, the 4th Amendment protected a woman's right to privacy and therefore Abortion. That's no longer true today. Etc. etc. Just a modern quickie example about how changing opinions can change our understanding of long-standing laws (or Constitutional Amendments) from the 1700s.

Generally speaking, the Supreme Court is trying to do what's right for our court system. To have laws interpreted consistently over time, and across the country.
Ok.

But back to the question. When might PopOS get this?

There's an easy fix for this: simply ask up front (ideally in the 1st, no later than 2nd) conversation how many rounds (and how much net time total) they expect to need for a decision.

Be sure to very explicit about the upper bounds -- e.g. "4 rounds / 3 weeks at the outside".

And then - hold them to it. If at first they try to wiggle away - nudge them a bit. But if persist - just remind them of what was said at the beginning, give them a date X, and tell them that you'll be assuming lack of interest from their side, and pursuing other discussions from that point.

Or you can just tell them to go to hell, if that's your style. Either way, the point is: get the parameters up front - and stick to them.

Although they are clearly not coming right out and saying it, the quantity of individual launch-cell-installed ballistic missile interceptors deployed in Alaska right now is clearly meant to deal with a threat from North Korea, not from Russia or China. The technology might exist but we would need something like a modern DEW line of many, many more of the same interceptors installed at bases spread throughout northern Canada to deal with a larger threat.

It is assumed right now that the threat from Russia and China is met by the concept of mutually assured destruction, as neither Russia or China have a vast quantity of missile interceptors that could be truly relied upon to destroy hundreds of incoming US missiles. And the fact that US missiles can come from almost anywhere via submarine launch platforms.

I am not an expert, but I think that they are structurally identical only in decoder only transformers like GPT. The original transformers were used for translation, and so the encoder-decoder layers use Q from the decoder layer and K from the encoder layer. The attention is all you need paper has an explanation:

> In "encoder-decoder attention" layers, the queries come from the previous decoder layer, and the memory keys and values come from the output of the encoder. This allows every position in the decoder to attend over all positions in the input sequence. This mimics the typical encoder-decoder attention mechanisms in sequence-to-sequence models such as...

What are you trying to do? Often, the reason something is difficult is simply due to choosing the wrong platform.
Actually I'd argue it's wrong precisely because we do manage to retrieve even such old artifacts. Only problem is that nobody cared for 30 years so the process was harder than it should be but in the end it was possible.

Sure, there is a risk that at some point, for example, any version of every PNG or H.264 decoder gets lost and so re-creating decoder for that would be significantly more complicated, but chances for that are pretty slim, but looking at `ffmpeg -codecs` I'm not really worried for that to ever happen.

This goes deeper, since understanding grep regexes involves understanding quoting.

This means not only how regexes distinguish between literals and control characters, but how the shell distinguishes and passes on characters to the regex that grep receives as an argument.

I think regex quoting is one of the major stumbling blocks of comprehension.

Even after decades using regexes, I still stumble (especially when my regexes are used in the shell, in emacs, in python re.match, etc...)

As it should be. Thus far, the people who advocate for the abolishing of host names have been the same people who lack lifecycle processes. I don't think this is a coincidence. Most people tend to solve the problems they can grasp, and it is hard to see what you lack.
Yeah. These numbers should be reduced by 50% at least, meaning maximum 60k for individuals and 125k for couples. That would be generous enough to not miss some HCOL middle class folks. And it shouldn’t apply to graduate school debt at all.

I also question the need for full forgiveness, and wonder what the inflationary impact would be on something like “everyone’s student loans from the federal government are now 0%. Your minimum payment is 5% of your AGI and your tax returns will be used to pay down the balance until it’s paid off. future loans will be capped at prime rate +.% fixed at time of borrowing”. Leave private loans untouched, but dischargeable at bankruptcy. This would pressure on student loan private lenders to lend based on certain conditions (I.e, grades and academic progress) with a minimum amount lent by the federal government.
It would result in a lot of withholding changes, but I think that’s a good thing.
That could certainly be a defense strategy, but taking down satellites work very much in the same way as taking down a ballistic missile - and there's considerable collateral damage due to the amount of space debris (which could very well induce more debris), which in turn could damage your own satellites.

I'm very happy to see Montaigne on HN, there must be some affinities with the community here and I like that :)

This is my favorite philosopher by far (I'm not saying that because I'm french!). Partly because his essays are not too "abstract" and this allows me to truly understand it, partly also because I found his essays still valid today.

One little and unimportant anecdote I liked: his parents forced themselves and his tutor to speak only in latin when he was a child. Later, Montaigne thanked his parents a lot when he saw how others were struggling with this language.

>Future-proofing anything is a completely different dimension. You have to provide the independent way to bootstrap, without relying on the unbroken chain of software standards, business/legal entities, and the public demand in certain hardware platforms/architectures. This is unfeasible for the vast majority of knowledge/artifacts, so you also have to have a good mechanism to separate signal from noise and to transform volatile formats like JPEG or machine-executable code into more or less future proof representations, at least basic descriptions of what the notable thing did and what impact it had.

I'd argue that best way would be to not do that but to make sure format is ubiquitous enough that the knowledge will never be lost in the first place.

And there are thousands of instances of israelis (jews) killing innocent muslims in a land they stole. When Russia stole land from Ukraine by claiming it always belonged to them, which side were you supporting?

The quran says a lot, and it's unreasonable to assume every muslim agrees with everything it says; same goes for any other group.

> Muslims, like Christians, largely do not encourage debate

Haha! Sounds like you've never been around two muslims at the same time. Muslims have been debating interpretation of everything since inception.

> I implore you to find them, and then to search for a number greater than zero of Israeli or Jewish leaders calling for the death of all Muslims.

AIPAC does almost nothing but lobby the US to enter war on their behalf, and it's almost exclusively against muslims. I have certainly seen videos of jewish scholars calling all non-jews cattle, and saying they exist purely to serve jews. This stuff is in the talmud so, you're kind of proving that you were singling out muslims. Atrocities committed by jews or israel just don't get the same media attention as those by muslims or christian radicalist.

SR-71 speed check

One time we were going fast

a small plane got on the radio and said "how fast am i going"

the tower said "you are going fast"

and then a bigger plane got on the radio and said "haha i think i am going faster how fast am i going"

and the tower said "you are going a little faster"

and then a jet fighter was going really fast and talked like a really cool guy and said "hey there, I sound like a cool guy, tell me how fast I'm going"

and the tower said "you are going very fast" but he sounded totally normal

And then I wanted to say something but that was against the rules, and then the other guy in my plane said "hey tower, are we going fast"

and the tower said "yes you are going like a million fast" and then the guy in my plane said "I think it's a million and one fast" and then the tower said "lol yeah ur plane is good"

and then I said "did we just become best friends"

and the other guy said "yes"
