No. Storm Shadow has a small penetrating warhead. It is designed to punch through reinforced concrete to destroy whatever is within. It is not designed to destroy solid concrete. Otherwise the Crimean bridge would already had been destroyed with one of those super duper warheads.
I decided, as a first pass, to set up Anki to review notes and articles. I try to get more serendipity by telling Anki to increase the ease and scheduling newly-read articles far in the future (Anki lets you manually schedule a card for n days in the future, and will adjust the spaced repetition schedule accordingly).

I wrote a quick-and-dirty script to sync my Pocket bookmarks with Anki, since I have a large backlog in Pocket: https://github.com/telotortium/pockexport-to-anki. Over time, I'll probably deprecate Pocket, since Anki lets me make notes on articles.
NASA Finds Organic Molecules in 12B-Year-Old Galaxy, and a Mystery
I don't think it's unreasonable to ask to know the difference between fact and fiction. Articles on astronomy are clear when they share an artist's depiction of some distant phenomenon so readers don't mistakenly believe that our telescopes picked up that impressive image.

With AI tools getting better and better, it's already getting to the point where viewers will struggle to differentiate. Where's the harm in labelling the images?
I have a replica of an old painting of the Buddha, Tibetan.

Once on truffles I shouted out there is a snow lion in the painting.

Very vividly the pattern of the composition turns into a snowlion in 3d on truffles.

Sober I can now see the patterns in there, but not the strong visual representation.

They defintely put it in there on purpose. Not sure what tools they use to alter their vision.
> If they want their computer programs to enjoy the same rights and prerogatives as human creators do

I don't think they care about that, they seems fine with output images not being copyrightable as per the current legislation.
There's more. Sun is also responsible for floods, typhoons, cyclones and tornadoes. Hundreds of disasters every year.

Come to think of it, energy stored in the dam is the result from the Sun evaporating water from other areas, and then convection currents, aka wind, blowing the clouds over the continent and condensing.

So, it's all energy from a nuclear explosion.

Ahh yes, you're right! The expanding circles show the text, it's just disappearing too quickly after. I imagine that, if you're on acid, the afterimage is strong enough to read the message clearly.

> What an odd opinion to have about software, but not about labor or content.

At what point have I promoted slavery? I think paying content creators is great and has done wonders for YouTube for example.

> Perhaps reddit should have to pay every moderator for the work that they do.

I would much prefer that. That way we would stop having such annoying power trippy moderators. We would also see a more consistant approach to moderating. But that would deny these moderators their little hobby.

> If reddit wants to have a hobby where they run a website collecting the labor of others they should pay for it right?

Do they collect? They don't. Collecting would mean they go out and get it. Even in such a simple position like that your logic falls part very simply. They allow others to use their services.

I wasn't againist Reddit providing a free API just like I am not againist others providing free things. If people wish to charge for their content or charge for moderating then I fully support them and would speak out against any nay-sayers.

> The internet is a better place when everyone who uses a website isn't required for fork over hard cash.

There are no plans to charge for the website. Just plans to charge for an API. These are two very separate things. As pointed out, some of the users of the API are direct competitors of Reddit.
Apple seems to have been shifting from the i-prefix since Apple TV. The i-prefix trademark is very easy for competitors to mimic; there's no trademark protection.

"Apple X" scheme is better suited to capitalize on and enhance the Apple brand. No competitor can mimic that, as "Apple" name is a monopoly under trademark protection.
Marines Betting Big on “Critical” Air-Launched Swarming Drones
Yeah I have the same approach - I don't update the second a new release comes out, and check the comments to see what the earlybirds have encountered just in case it's a bad release.

Personally I haven't had any issues for a while now, prior to that it was the Python upgrade and all the Z-Wave changes that caught me out. That's all stable now though so updates don't stress me out much.
Even with Unix socket there will be at least one additional copy across kernel - userpace boundary compare to SQLite (and likely at least one copy inside the kernel too from one socket buffer to another). Yes, a Unix socket has lower overhead than a TCP one, but still not free:

kernel (filesystem) -> app with SQLite library
kernel (filesystem) -> Postgres -> kernel -> app with Postgres client

If Postgres reads data from own cache (not from disk) the chain will be one step shorter: Postgres -> kernel -> client, but the same true for SQLite own cache.

If mmap is used (make sense for small data sets cached in RAM) then reading data by SQLite can be zero-copy [1].

Benchmark result highly depends on a use case - neither is better for all use cases but at least for some use cases SQLite is faster.

There were many such cases in the past.

Uh, I would consider something called the “Malthusian League” close enough to eugenics from my point of view.

But you are right, birth control itself predates modern era eugenics. What I meant was “modern” birth control.

A lot of the people who have shaped this cultural stuff are just very disturbed. In the past they were pretty open about their perspective before talking about it openly became somewhat taboo. As an example of the “Malthusian mindset” in 1954:

Nuclear scientist Harrison Brown publishes his book "The Challenge of Man’s Future". In the book Brown examines carefully the probability that the human carrying capacity of the planet is between 50 and 200 billion people, before summarizing the reasons this fact is best kept secret:

“If humanity had its way, it would not rest content until the earth is covered completely and to a considerable depth with a writhing mass of human beings, much as a dead cow is covered with a pulsating mass of maggots.”

Here is the papal encyclical “Humanae Vitae” by the way if you are interested in why the Church considers birth control to be harmful:

Why Do We Not Evolve Software? (2018)
I would say that math with notes is more likely to be a case of absolute pitch: some people is capable of recognize notes without any reference - no other sense is involved.
They advertise the "4K per eye" as some kind of an advantage. They need to do this to have 3D vision, but it doesn't improve the resolution, it's still just 4K.

And the 4K is across your whole FOV, I would like to see a comparison with some standard monitors (4K at 27" and 32") at particular distances from your eyes.

I suppose because they didn't publish anything it is still significantly worse than hi-res monitors (just better than all previous headsets).
I like that Apple are being so ambitious. They are literally the ONLY company that could possibly make this work as they make and control the stack from top to bottom.

That said, it's still a very tough sell. I don't think having a physical conversation with someone wearing this thing will ever really catch on, it's still taboo to this day to be looking at your phone when someone is talking to you after all.

But if the price comes down I can see this being very successful with the ever growing population of loners out there.
I didn't see that as being much different from the classic 80's and 90's dad brings huge camcorder on summer vacation. The difference being that now the person wears it as 3D goggle cameras rather than a single camera in one handheld package.
Hmm. “Right state of consciousness” makes it sound exotic in a click baity way

It is more like
“Experiencing a visual trip compatible with the image whilst also still lucid enough to communicate and remember”

Tripping comes in all varieties of strengths and effects. Often the effects are barely visual. Also you can be so out of it that you cannot speak and perhaps also cannot remember the test image when you’ve come down.
Thanks. Will check that out.

Sure, but again… it’s like 10x the price of a competing piece of equipment which is still regarded as pretty niche. In the case of an iPhone, 2x the price for 1000x the functionality was a clear “buy”. There’s a reason that among basically everyone I know (mid class millenials) scoffs at watches and iPads but is a complete iPhone addict - the value proposition is just that good. For all the talk of these ancillary/luxury devices, the fact remains that the iPhone (or Android knockoffs) is still the absolute Crown Jewel of tech that cuts across demographics in a way that their other products do not.
Doctors can misdiagnose and misunderstand or even just plain confuse patients too.

Grail (as I understand it) has the potential to completely revolutionise cancer treatment and while we shouldn’t go easy on them for a tech mistake like this we should get this technology rolled out and it might well save millions of lives. I bet the people who have now been told they don’t have cancer feel a great sense of relief and maybe a new desire to look after their health. Are we sure overall this sort of placebo shock won’t end up being a net positive for those involved?

There's some kind of parallel here to the need for including </sarcasm> in internet comments. The lack of shared context makes it harder to assume something that "obviously" everyone knows.
For a tenanted SAAS app SQLite at the edge is a really compelling architecture. You have a single DB per customer/company/group with all their users woking against that. It can operate at the edge, closest to where the majority of the customers users are.

SQLite could scale to even quite large customers with this.

Another really compelling architecture is a DB per user, with partial/selective sync between the nodes. If you then couple this with a "local first" design, the "edge" just becomes an other local deployment that the users db can sync against. Collaborative apps, where the users have their own documents but can also share/fork them would align well with this.

I believe starting with "local first" and using the edge for sync and "online only" modes is going to become the default for a significant number of apps moving forward. SQLite with CRDT based syncing and merge conflict resolution is the way to do this. There are a couple of exciting projects working on this:

> never mind the criticism of an apple only device

The first iPod was predicated on FireWire and iTunes, which were basically only available on Macs at the time.

(iTunes - Jan 2001, iPod - Oct 2001, iTunes Store - Apr 2003, iTunes for Windows - Oct 2003.)
Confirmed! The letters are easy to read once you know where to look.

Indeed the regular pattern can be seen as alien faces. But they are so close by that to me the slanted "eyes" and the cup-like "chins" more readily form plant shapes, with pairs of "leaves" and "flowers" above them instead.

I appreciate the example outside of text applications. There's a lot going on with Vector databases for text embeddings and LLMs integrations, seeing an image example is very useful.
> but everyone knows all IO calls are async

Do you mean on a hardware level? Because otherwise, hell no.

If I’m writing a binary file parser that buffers some data and processes it, I sure as hell want to wait for IO, there is no other meaningful way forward in most cases. It is also not a small isolated part, but a tight loop bouncing between CPU and IO.

Async is a function of the caller.
I want to hear "What's not great using SQLite compare to PostgreSQL" instead .
It doesn’t run any desktop apps yet though, only Safari and Photos and a few content apps. They also demoed mirroring only a single Mac display. I think people are overlooking this and expecting to get multi monitor displays for heavy workload apps like on the Meta Quest Pro, but Apple are committed as always to making this a standalone system.
What are you trying to say? To hell with facts and reason, if they're opposing my politics or emotions?

I guess critics of enlightenment were right: humans ain't improving shit. We're only pretending to, and it works only as long as the culture allows it.
It was an absolute flop, but I really appreciated how Google's "Clips" tried to solve this problem. Clip it on somewhere or stick it somewhere with a nice perspective, do your day and live in the moment, and afterward maybe it captured some special moments.

Turned out to not work in practice. Shame, really.

> Remember that not all 3rd party clients are/were developed for-profit, there are plenty which are open-source, have no monetization or ads, and are gonna be hit by this change too.

People can use those open source tools on the free level that doesn't require the higher level of use.

> This is Reddit being greedy. They are asking $2.50 a user per month, while the revenue they make from someone using the first party reddit app on average is just $0.12 per month. [0] Add this the restriction on NSFW content served from the API, and it's clear reddit is just straight up trying to kill 3rd party apps.

$2.50 a user. You're mad they're trying to make money. Most businesses wouldn't survive if they only got $2.50 per user. Not only that realistically, the infrastucture probably costs about that to run. We're not talking some static website or simple infrastucture here. Seriously, it's pretty entitled to be mad at company is trying to generate $2.50 per user per month. Like really entitled.

It's really a poor way to look at it "Sorry but you've only been making $0.12 so trying to make $2.50 is far too much, how dare you try to generate money."

Nope, the $400 isn't really the price of 16 GB of RAM, it's more like the price difference between a "MacBook with 8 GB RAM" and "MacBook with 24 GB RAM". These two products are priced separately and aimed at different customers with different budgets.

I bought one after using a blackberry and I was instantly sold on it because you could browse websites as if it was a computer, zooming in to the text section with a double tap.

"recent immigrants often outperform more established immigrants and non-immigrants on a number of health-, education-, and conduct- or crime-related outcomes, despite the numerous barriers they face to successful social integration"

because it is because of those barriers to social integration that spurs 1st generational immigrant success. My parents arrived, and didn't do anything but work, as there was nothing else to do. Not a great life for them, but set us 2nd generation kids to level up to middle class.

OCaml is / was short for Objective Caml. Hence the name used to have an apostrophe. At some point that was dropped.

There is a disdain for federated protocols but I hardly see how this is any different except that there are no explicit federation features.

The "subplebbit" owner acts like the operator of a Mastodon or Matrix instance except as mentioned above, those were designed to aggregate data across instances.

The fundamental problem with these decentralised platforms is that they want to get rid of the human element but if you just let anyone get away with anything and everyone rehosts everyone else's data unconditionally, then you get something like zeronet which has its own Reddit clone. The problem with zeronet is that people advertise their illegal porn on your supposedly "family friendly" Reddit clone and your users involuntarily download it and make themselves criminally liable. Whether something should be legal or not is a philosophical question, someone has to make a decision and then enforce it. Any platform where users are allowed to upload arbitrary information requires moderation. There is no way around this. The only benefit of a decentralized app is that you can have smaller self hosted communities.

I spent a lot of time evaluating the technical viability of decentralised apps and honestly you should avoid it even if your use case requires it.
There are more than a dozen potential solutions out there, such as PostgreSQL, SQL, Redis, Cassandra, and more. But for many businesses, it boils down to two: Firebase (Firebase Firestore) and MongoDB. They are both long-established, and providers could easily refer us to hundreds of customers delighted with their service. So far so good, but that doesn’t mean that both will deliver results the same way.

It is important to differentiate between Firebase and Mongo Atlas, which are BaaS platforms, and Firebase Firestore and Mongo DB, which are databases. Here, we will take a deep dive into the databases, including the features they offer, examine their pros and cons, and form a view on how to identify the most appropriate solution for your specific business needs.
> it can at least promise me that I won't get any data races.

But not any other kind of race condition.

Also, data races are “safe” in java. Plus you can rely on immutable data for those parts. Parallelism will always be hard, there is no model for shared mutability that would be easy.

This is a smart move by Apple. Authentication infrastructure is necessarily cross platform. It doesn’t generate revenue for Apple, but the lack of cross platform auth would limit enterprise adoption of Apple products.
Random insert point, but all this 1:1 comparison to the existing extra monitor concept of operation is emblematic of resistance to XR in general. I see it as trying to shoe horn today's use cases as a template for something that is literally a phase change of capability -- much like how the first automobiles were framed by the lense of horseless carriages.

3D in 3D is different. And when you put 2D screens into a 3D digital space viewed as embodied in 3D XR you still get affordances you didn't have before. Sure you need to reimagine and rewrite from the ground up these long established and stable 2D apps, but there are places where real gains are there to harvest.
Your whole reply appears, to me, to be completely unhinged, but this bit:
