If you're interested in Stoicism, one of the benefits is that you can read (translations of) the actual Roman Stoics. I think the main thing is to find an author the meshes with you. A lot of people love Seneca, but I found him too long-winded and self-important (a bit like Polonious in Hamlet; where the advice may be solid by the delivery distracts from it).

My favourite by far is Epictetus. This site[0] has many translations of The Enchiridion side-by-side. I'd read a few of the options, find the one you like and just read that (personally I like Carter, and sometimes Long). It's short - 53 sections which are mostly a paragraph or two. You can knock it over in a few hours. I don't know if this is "optimal", but the approach I took was to read it all through fairly quickly, then re-read one section a day (or so) trying to really understand it.

Marcus Aurelius' Meditations is also quite readable if you find a translation you like. It's interesting to read the diary of an emperor as he tried to apply Stoicism to his life, but it didn't teach me anything that I didn't get from The Enchiridion.

If you want to ease in with a modern take, I think William Irvine's A Guide to the Good Life is decent, though he makes the mistake of adding his own more complex, and unnecessary concepts on top.

So that one was almost entirely fraud driven - there literally were contractors going around door to door after the hurricane, offering free roofs regardless of damage.

My guess is that it's a structural dynamic - something like a hurricane is bound to trip the cat reinsurance thresholds for all the insurance companies, which means they have very little incentive to actually verify claims/monitor fraud, since it's the reinsurers eating that cost.

Never interviewed anyone? Never been on a job interview for a software job that involved a whiteboard or paper coding exercise? Never had a situation where you kinda recalled they may have been a specific function in a standard library, but you weren't sure of the exact name? Never tried to guess a function like that exists and used it where you didn't know how to implement it, in hopes the examiner won't realize you're bullshitting them?

This is all common human behavior when people feel admitting uncertainty or ignorance is going to hurt them in some way, or projecting certainty will bring more reward.

Remember, LLMs were rewarded in training for providing answers much more than for those answers to be correct.

0ad is a great game on its own merits. I have played countless hours on matches against the PC.
When I first bought the house, I went down the curve of deductibles, at each step asking "what's the payback period for the difference in deductible between covered losses that would exceed $50K?" At the short end of the scale, it was in the 5 year range, then went to 8 at $5K, was over 12 at $10K, and over 17 at $25K. That's how I originally settled on $5K.

Based on this thread, I just went back and re-priced them (my insurance has a nice-enough online quoter for basic transactions like this). The curve had shortened some and so, while I could pay $25K out of pocket, I upped my deductible to $10K and doubled my personal liability coverage. Starting next month, I'll be saving a little over $500/yr and have a more personal liability coverage to boot.

Amusingly, there are coverages that have a $500 deductible. Who the hell wants to even talk to an insurance company over a loss that doesn't significantly exceed a $1K deductible? My insurance discounts include a $495/yr discount for "no claims in the last 5 years". If I had a $500 deductible and had even a $2500 loss, I shouldn't submit it if it would remove that discount for 5 years...

To absolutely no one’s surprise, this seems to be largely a result of the theft of existing designs and technology, and is hardly a Chinese engineering accomplishment.

I guess the good news is that if they copied enough, well enough, maybe it won’t fall out of the sky on a regular basis.

To wit:

(From the Wikipedia article on the C919)

Chinese cyberthreat actor Turbine Panda, linked to the Ministry of State Security’s Jiangsu Bureau, penetrated a number of the C919's foreign components manufacturers including Ametek, Capstone Turbine, GE Aviation, Honeywell, Safran, and others and stole intellectual property and industrial process data with the aim of transitioning component manufacturing to Chinese companies.[26][27][28][29] The report stated that the operations involved both cyber intrusion and theft as well as HUMINT operations, in most cases using a piece of code custom written for this industrial espionage operation.[26][27][28][29]

On October 15, 2018, ten Chinese nationals, including intelligence officials, were indicted by the US for allegedly working with COMAC to allegedly steal the secrets of thirteen foreign aerospace companies working on the C919.[51]

As of 2019, four people have been arrested in the US as a result of investigations into this economic espionage and theft of trade secrets.[29]
In November 2022, a federal jury in Cincinnati convicted Yanjun Xu, 42, on counts of conspiracy to commit economic espionage, conspiracy to commit trade secret theft, attempted economic espionage and attempted trade secret theft. The US court found that Xu played a key role in a plot to steal trade secrets from western aerospace firms, for the purpose of helping the C919 commercial airliner program. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.[30]

StarCraft Brood War worked on computers with 16MB of RAM.

The game was incredibly impressive when it came out: technically, graphically, sound, single player, multi player, map editor with a custom programming language that allowed to make very complicated maps (there are tens of thousands of them, including custom maps with own minigames).

On top of that the game was just nice to play in both single and multiplayer - where it had great balance of 3 distinct factions.

Agreed. I'm perfectly happy to have a couple of A53s in my phone for background tasks. Four feels a bit overkill but okay, maybe it makes the big.LITTLE design work better.

But I've always been disappointed by devices that are all A53s.

And when I see devices that have eight A53s and nothing else, I have to assume that they are just trying to trick people into thinking it's a more powerful device than it actually is.
It seems to be a recurring problem with Rust (the ecosystem, not the language). One of the nice things about the Kotlin and Java communities is that they lack this kind of endless drama. Technical events stay technical.

>> After the collapse of the USSR, Russia repeatedly tried to join NATO.

That never happened. You will no find no trace of that in State Duma transcripts, policy papers or any other contemporary source. I can show you a long trail of adopted laws and doctrines for countries that eventually joined NATO (or failed in their bid), but nothing of this sort exists for Russia. It's a hoax invented to justify the invasion of Ukraine.

>> instead moved the NATO ever closer to Russia‘s border, ignoring its security needs and breaking old promises

The start of NATO expansion talks were preceded by a treaty between NATO and Russia declaring the respect for third countries freely choosing their allies. The narrative that NATO promised never to accept Eastern Europe (and broke that promise) was invented much later and conflicts with personal accounts and written agreements from that time.

>> Prominent establishment people like John Mearsheimer

His infamous lecture that presents a totally warped view of the world is the single most damaging piece of propaganda related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If that's what you're basing your views on, then it's no surprise that you are totally off the mark.
Another example: The copy protection scheme for Blu-ray Discs (AACS) is actually an open standard. You can download the PDF specification from their website right now. But getting your actual unique device key? You are instantly in boiling water if you steal one from another manufacturer.

Or another example: There is a lawsuit right now about whether YouTube has legally-protected “technological protection measures,” even though YouTube doesn’t use Widevine, FairPlay, etc. The hope is to get YouTube-DL-Like programs found a violation this way. If the movie industry is seriously embroiled in a lawsuit about whether freaking YouTube has TPMs (and they think they could win), an AES-128 key from Nintendo used for encrypting games is probably a slam dunk.

> In the original post: “whether Nintendo's broken DRM actually counts as an effective copyright protection measure”

Woah, woah, woah. Courts have been clear as daylight that somebody breaking DRM, or the broken status of DRM, has zero effect on legality. DVD has the weakest protection ever (40-bit keys), has been broken since 1999, but the Library of Congress still has their meetings for arguing about what DMCA exceptions to grant for the next three years. And DVD ripping software companies have been sued and lost repeatedly. It’s still a crime to break into a private area secured by a 60-year-old rusted lock.

The DMCA still can't override actual reality, fortunately. Given enough scale, the DMCA is powerless to combat the overall distribution of such "in-demand" encryption keys. Look at what happened with the AACS key (09 F9... anyone?). Even if you are able to snag a few people for spreading the number, or intimidate them into ceasing doing so, the overall effect will be negligible.

I’m guessing the admin stopped caring as much about the mission of the site, which actually seems quite compelling, or it wasn’t as profitable as they thought, and was looking for a reason to divest themselves of it. Spam is hard to fight, it does suck in that manner, but certainly possible and certainly pulling the plug on an otherwise passion project screams “don’t care anymore.”
Of course you can but that requires knowing what you need and when.

Noteworthy: The video mentions that this was the 3rd very-recent lunar lander to crash because of software failures. Compare that to the Apollo program, with human pilots, and a lethally dangerous training regimen for those pilots - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Landing_Research_Vehicle

Which training regimen was credited by Neil Armstrong - who very nearly died in one of the LLRV crashes - as absolutely essential to the success of the Apollo moon landings.

Suggestion: Near-future unmanned lunar landers should default to remote control by a heavily-trained pilot on the Earth, and only be allowed to manage the final ~5 seconds of their landings.
Yes! The existence of a five-legged dog makes “all dogs have four legs” false but it doesn’t make “dogs have four legs” false. Similarly, the existence of a two-legged dog makes “some dogs have only two legs” true while “dogs have two legs” is still not (unless you just mean the former).

Dog is a categorical abstraction over individuals. The properties of a category tend to have a complex relationship to the members of the category. This is true even if it is indisputable who the members are and what properties the members have.

That's like saying that eating has been separated from sustenance (or nutrition) because people (just happen to) eat Twinkies for pleasure.

This whole exchange feels off. Essentially, the underlying spat is over a strong technical disagreement, but it is being prosecuted in this weirdly stylized language of emotion and abuse. I have no idea how something like this can be overcome so long as the core Rust community feels this is an acceptable way to handle things. Clearly this is something which extends beyond the immediate leadership team.

The software you use plays a rather large role in how the hardware performs. Some people here like to live on the OEM-designed happy path, where things tend to just work. That means using Google Apps for everything, an expectation that the latest video streaming social platforms will open quickly and not stutter, and scrolling the Google Play Store or Google Maps will be a fluid experience.

Others may use simpler apps, or expect less of their phones. I'm in the latter category, and I suspect you are as well. While the BlackBerry KeyOne I use daily was panned by some six months after release in 2017 for being too slow, I instead killed off nearly everything else that would run in the background - including and specifically any Google frameworks and apps.

Some software companies have made a point of taking any hardware gains for granted. Most people have new phones, with fast processors, so some companies will push devs to take shortcuts. I'm quietly indignant about that, though that rant is rather tangental to your original question about how some have such different experiences from yours.
