What is communication like between different branches of the US military nowadays?

I remember reading a series of newspapers articles about the Somalia battle that was later the subject of the "Black Hawk Down" movie. I haven't seen the movie so don't know if it covered the communication issue I'm about to mention.

The army had a convoy on the ground trying to reach the crashed Black Hawk helicopter. The navy had a surveillance plane watching. The plane would see that the convoy was heading toward and ambush but they could not talk directly to the convoy (I don't remember if it was because they didn't have radios with the frequency the convoy was on or if there was a rule against it) so had to relay the warning and recommended alternate routes back to their own base.

There that would go up through the chain of command until reaching someone who was able to talk to a counterpart in the army, then down the chain of command in the army and finally to the convoy. By then the alternate routes the plane had found were no longer applicable, and the convoy might have even already reached the ambush.

When they got past that it would just happen again farther along with another ambush.
Is there any peer to peer video streaming built into it yet? That's one thing I'm really interested in.. even if you pony up for Discord Nitro, the video stream quality is pretty atrocious. I wish I could just fully saturate my home internet connection (or selfhost a private server on a beefy VPS for my friends and I). $20 a month's worth of VPS could go a long way
The same goes the other way around, many of these "chill do-gooders" and gurus of life are that because the can afford to be.

Put them 5 years working 2 minimum wage jobs and barely making rent every month and you'll see an very different person, saying and doing the same things every other person under the same circumstances says and does.
> But this is obviously not true.

It is obviously true. The five permanent security council members are US, China, Russia, UK and France. US, China and Russia are obviously gigantic. UK is gigantic via its ties to Canada, Australia, NZ. After all the silly monarch of britain is the head of state of all these nations. And France has a gigantic empire still. Go check out their EEZ.

> but it’s not like Germany and Japan are powerful because of their landmass.

Germany and Japan aren't powerful. Powerful nations aren't occupied by a foreign power. Germany and Japan are extraordinarly weak. Their economic well being is entirely dependent on the generosity of another nation.

There is a reason why Germany and Japan tried to expand their territories in ww2. They failed and they have to live with the consequences.

> I think judging countries by their size is a mistake in rationality and people shouldn’t do that.

Sure. Landmass by itself isn't everything. As I said, you have to factor in population, quality of land, ports, neighbors, etc.

> It’s only silly people who look at Greenland on a Mercator map and think that they are powerful based on size.

You quoted "the larger and more populous countries tend to be the most powerful and influential."

Do you know what populous means? It's silly to quote something and not understand it.
Four Thousand weeks is great, I'm still trying to comprehend it's lessons and also that shared by the Author in his excellent newsletter.
This is still one of the best articles I've seen on this topic: https://www.metabunk.org/threads/are-the-navy-ufos-real-or-j...

As we get better cameras/sensors, we find rational explanations for the UFOs we see. But at the same time we become more able to detect things we didn't previously see. There's never been a case where we detected something and it got more interesting as we got better information about it.
Maybe not for Americans. Actually, converting units to "inches" and "F-150s" is probably the most USA-friendly framing possible.
It’s ok and even a good thing to cut corners and take a “ask forgiveness not permission” attitude when the results of failure are inconvenience and annoyance. Pushing through layers of accumulated red tape does indeed help when you’re making a taxi service or delivering food or making a social app.

Not so much when you’re building life-critical systems or those where there are real big serious problems when they go down or fail.
I'm completely serious. It pains me to have to spell it out: a metaphysical entity cannot do physical harm. The wrong idea in the hands of the wrong person, sure, that can be a dangerous combination. Does that mean we should ban ideas? Of course not.
As a fan of deliberate practice, it helps to first understand where you have room for improvement as a senior engineer. Your feedback reviews at past jobs can be a great place to start.

If you have non technical areas of improvement, you can check out resources like those below to absorb the info and then ofc implement those learnings in practice:

1. Books (eg. Effective engineer, radical candor, Manager's path)

2. Conferences (eg. ELC, LeadDev)

3. Podcasts (most conferences above have podcasts)

4. Coach / mentor

5. Blogs (staffeng, pragmaticengineer, charity.wtf)

On the technical side, it depends on the expertise you'd like to build but here are some general examples:

1. Books (eg those specific to your domain, designing data intensive applications, clean code, language specific books to learn idioms)

2. PR reviews from experienced engineers

3. Blogs (technical blogs of companies you admire)

4. Tech talks (from companies you admire, YouTube has plenty)

5. Courses specific to your domain like algorithms or deep learning)

6. Company conferences (again depending on your domain)
Yeah we basically figured out door handles and suddenly we’re reinventing them.

This is a very interesting comment. You seem to have a firm grasp on the physics of this situation. Out of curiosity, beyond common sense, does adding pressure internally on something with a significant load of external pressure create a compounding/exponential amount of force/pressure on the material overall?
Maybe they prefer macOS or need it for iOS development.

Also, there really isn't anything out there like a MacBook Air. Thin, light, fast, fanless (silent), and truly all day battery life.
Driver Verifier? That’s not intended to prove the code under test secure, only to hopefully show that it’s not complete crap in well-known ways. Even a signed driver is still trusted code and requires administrator privileges to install. I guess the closest Linux counterpart would be a distro maintainer running a hardware vendor’s out-of-tree module under KASAN and, if it passes, signing the package with their PGP key.

But none of that is intended or able to check the module (resp. driver) is not gimmeroot.ko (resp. gimmesystem.dll)—that’s left to humans inspecting the source (resp. thoughts and prayers[1]). On the other hand, the eBPF VM absolutely is intended to be able to load anything any unprivileged user throws at it and emerge unscathed.

It’s not precisely essential that a kernel have this capability, but if one is to have it, restricting the allowable code to a predetermined vendor-approved set defeats most of the point. (The authors propose that a userspace compiler running on the user’s computer be allowed to extend it, as I understood them.)

Why do you think 2 hours battery life for this form factor is a debilitating constraint?
I think that I truly, positively understand both the Fourier transforms I deal with (FS, FT, DFT, DTFT, as well as their subtle but very important differences), and the Laplace transform and the z-transform. I can recite them just by "concept", that means by knowing what they do, how they work, and why they work, I can piece together the equations in no time. Memorization is not necessary anymore.

But I got there by, at first, "blindly" memorizing FS, FT, DFT, DTFT, and Laplace and z transforms. This allowed me to not only apply them to problems while, at the time, not being fully comfortable with them yet, but also, and this is really the biggest part of the point I'm trying to make, to "look at them" while I was either solving problems or just furthering my understanding of the field when, say, lying in bed before falling asleep.

To an extent that would not have been possible if I had to "refer back" to their definitions on paper.

It was a tremendous tool (that is what memorization is, a tool) to just be able to recite, say, the DFT, or the DTFT, even while my intuition was still gradually building up. And to internally look at the differences between DFT and DTFT. The same is true for the countless other little factoids in my arsenal of flashcards. I literally built a lot of math understanding, both abstract and of actual engineering problems I was working on, when sitting in my car, on my 45 minutes commute to work or back home.

> Our brains are connection machines, not encyclopedias.

And memorization is a tool for making new connections.
Well, fine, but from the developer's point of view dealing with obsolete versions is a nightmare. It's bearable if the software is offline only, but most isn't.
I searched far and wide a few months ago and found these two are the only real contenders:

RedwoodJS

Remix

If I had to compare them, I would label Redwood as more of an "emberjs" type feel, very corpo, angular-js, "enterprise". Remix is more loose and new, fresh ideas that other frameworks have since attempted to copy.

Pick your poison.
Put extensions in a Wasm sandbox. The type system has been proven sound to the highest level of assurance possible with today's technology, mechanized at least twice, once in Coq and once in Isabelle. The algorithm is efficiently implementable and there are approaching a dozen production Wasm engines, some of which have tiers with proven safety guarantees. There is even an interpreter written in a proof assistant that has been proven fully functionally correct.
This was one of the reasons I always hoped their deaths were as quick as could be. As a parent myself, the idea of looking my child in the eyes for days on end, knowing that I’d condemned them to death with my own hubris… I can’t imagine anything more miserable.
> If only climate scientists were given .01% of the credence these buffoons get.

Climate scientists are extrapolating complex models of a system that's literally planet-sized, with lot of chaotic elements, and where it takes decades before you can distinguish real changes from noise. And, while their extrapolations are plausible, many of them are highly sensitive to parameters we only have approximate measurements for. Finally, the threat itself is quite abstract, multifaceted, and set to play out over decades - as are any mitigation methods proposed.

The "buffoons", on the other hand, are extrapolating from well-established mathematical and CS theorems, using clear logic and common sense, both of which point to the same conclusions. Moreover, the last few years - and especially last few months - provide ample and direct evidence their overall extrapolations are on point. The threat itself is rather easy to imagine, even if through anthropomorphism, and set to play out near-instantly. There are no known workable solutions.

It's not hard to see why the latter group has it easier - at least now. A year ago, it's them who got .01% of the credence climate people got. But now, they have a proof of concept, and one that everyone can play with, for free, to see that it's real.

This is a little off topic, but can someone tell me the different between Rocky Linux and Alma Linux. Reading a few blog posts the only different I can't find is a slightly different release schedule, and different levels of funding.

Right. Also, the difference in depths matter just as much as number of dives.

To clarify EM waves which are used for most(all?) tracking in the atmosphere, are attenuated very quickly in water. Underwater sound waves work better. I don't know what this submarine used but I would expect at minimum an acoustic transponder to aid in underwater tracking. with a acoustic telephone as a comm channel. However reading about some of their other engineering decisions this is probably too optimistic of me.

Data recorders(airplane black boxes) have a sound pinging unit for this exact case. being lost under water.
1-10 is pretty accurate for a single CPU with random memory access. Sure, the GPU can physically perform many more in parallel, but then you get into the exact size of the gpu and how fast you can copy to/from memory to it which isn't the point of the question.
The article you cite says "Therefore, there is no significant gap between titanium and carbon-fiber-reinforced composite to create galvanic corrosion. This means that commercially pure titanium and its alloys are completely resistant to galvanic corrosion when they are coupled with carbon composites." This seems to be the opposite of what you are asserting.
Looks like they're different. OP is using muons (Cosmic rays) and the Royal Navy one is using some quantic properties to track movements more precisely (fancier dead reckoning)
Accepting arguendo that this means he hired some lesser qualified people, is there any evidence AT ALL that it was one of those people that are responsible for this?

All the video I've seen of this guy makes him seem almost suicidally indifferent to safety. There's nothing any of his subordinates could have done except warn and quit and it's my understanding they did just that.
Not disingenous at all. They were lost at sea and there were no irrational levels of resources thrown into trying to find them. There were not even rational level of resources thrown into trying to find them. There were not even half-assed-pretending-to-care level of resources thrown into trying to find them.

This is a simple observation of facts. If you don’t like some implication if it so bad for you. I don’t like it either, but I suspect we disagree in what way we don’t like the implications.
When I lived within walking distance of a transit station I was going to the office twice a week after the initial lockdowns lifted. The change of scenery was nice as was being around people again. Now that I have moved, and would need to drive to a transit station, I go in maybe once every few months. It adds maybe 15 minutes each way to my previous commute, but the idea of getting in a car at all is really off-putting. Add to that the possibility of vandalism or theft while my car is sitting in the transit lot all day and it just doesn't feel worth it. Driving to the office is a non-starter due to traffic and expensive parking.

This sounds like something you could use LLMs for as LLMs are quite good at removing bias in content. You might run into context length issues feeding the whole transcript in though .
> We want content, and control over that content

in context of reddit, we clearly do not value that control at all. these last few weeks have shown how much control we truly have.

>Having to find out about, sign up for, and separately visit 100+ unique websites running phpBB, vBulletin, or something else, then logging into each site with their own usernames and passwords several times a day is a lot of work.

we solved that problem decades ago, though. I think even Reddit has RSS feed support (well, for now. I don't think it's native). I think leaving the centralizing to an underlying format is a better approach than expecting a benevelent dictator to always look into the best interests of the user while also seeking profits (or alternatively, an eccentric billionaire who cares not about profits).

Some inconvenience of signing up with an account is short term, and not exactly a huge barrier to begin with. I made 3 new accounts this week on various alternatives, barely took 10 minutes total.
Gaming laptops are particularly prone to this because of all the heat they generate. Desktops have much better mechanisms for dealing with heat.
What is the complaint here exactly? That LLMs aren't enforcing database access best practices for you? That's not their job, that's your job. LLMs generate text. You do the rest. Give the LLM a user with the correct access control rules. Add a reasonable timeout to your warehouse/database. Enforce rate limiting like you would with any other endpoint.

I would say there are two ends of the spectrum.

On the idealistic side:

The market for equities is enormous. Making it work requires some blunt instrumentation. This creates inefficiencies that hedge funds exploit. These exploitations make the overall market more efficient and make the hedge funds money.

On the skeptical side:

Hedge funds charge 2% of AUM and 20% of returns. They use some of these profits to market to investors and convince them that they are the smartest people in the room. They keep the fund afloat as long as they can until they need to raise another round.

I think the reason why hedge funds exist is somewhere between the two.
And here's the discussion from a few hours ago:

As a request, this is extremely underspecified :) Job titles in our industry are notoriously vague, so it'd help to hear what you consider "more senior engineer" (I've seen definitions range from "more than 2 years experience" to "deep subject matter expert with decades of knowledge"), and what you envision your staff/principal/architect role to be like.

Without that, all the useful advice you get will be extremely vague. You'll likely hear about communication, leadership, and influencing as the core skills. They are - at that level, people will be a large part of any problem you solve. And of course, learn to learn efficiently, because any of those roles live in a constantly shifting knowledge landscape. But that's about as concrete as it gets without further details.

What attracts you about those roles? Do you want a portfolio career, a deep subject matter expert career, a people leadership career, something process oriented, an organizational troubleshooter,...?

There's a million different ways to tackle those roles, and you'll only have success if you pick a way that's tailored to your strengths. It's impossible to learn "all the skills" - part of this path is getting clarity on which ones matter to you, and which ones you're just fine ignoring.
So who gets to arbitrate whether some activity is "unnecessarily" dangerous? I'm sure I do things that some people who mostly stick to good weather urban activities would consider unreasonably dangerous.
For some reason I'm struggling to understand both the paper and the Ars writeup. It must be the *same muon* they're detecting passing through both the stationary reference detector and the mobile one? Which generates multiple photons along its straight-line path? That must be why the nanosecond-precision clocks are so critical—to find the true coincidences and exclude everything else. And: the version with wires can navigate in real-time... but, the wireless version can only "navigate" retrospectively, because you need to link the receiver and reference to figure anything out (?). There's no (?) version of this method that lets you navigate outside of communications range, during the interval you are out of communications range.
Except for the experts Rush hired that did make that declaration well in advance.
