At this point, I think Prigozhin is more likely trying to get a deal to leave russia and keep his billions & life.

Highly doubt Wagner will be kept around and likely the defense minister will be kept. That said, the defense minister ran away in the fighting, probably justification to sack him
Their economy consisted of bad oil, exported, and fracking made that a no-go.

They'd 'privatized' their farms so that meant, no domestic food production as the 'new' farmers had not the training, equipment nor funds to run a farm operation.

So food imports became unaffordable as oil exports dried up. Food riots and instability. Is that when the gangs came in? I imagine.
Your anecdote is stronger than my anecdote :)

New hires' comp is much higher than existing employees', especially if you've hit your cliff. 7 figures for E6 can happen if you joined recently, have good counter-offers, and negotiate. It's not super uncommon but it's also not the median E6 comp.
Regulations and rules force banks to be held accountable. Whether or not their cybersecurity prevents all breaches is besides the point. They are incentive in minimizing breaches, and when one occurs they're the one who have to cover the losses (yes I'm sure you're already typing clever examples of banks avoiding responsibility that one time but the fact that we rarely hear about then, as you say yourself, is that they cover it up and refund all the losses themselves).

> demanding useless security theater in the vain hopes that it will somehow improve the situation.

The security theatre required by these new rules might not prevent all breaches, or any breaches, but they will force utilities to be accountable for their failures.

No longer will it be "Oopsie, mean hacker hacked us. Not our fault. Whatchugonna do anyway? Your business had to shutdown because no power/internet? Tough luck I guess".

Now it will be "Oh fuck, hackers got in. We'll have to cover our customers losses and spend millions in PR to spin the story and avoid total bankruptcy."

Do you really not see how that's still an improvement?
> Yeah. Almost all innovation and economic improvement has only helped the upper classes and in many cases actually hurt the lower classes.

What constitutional right do you think this violates?

Constitutional rights generally refer to what the government can and cannot do to a person.

In this case it was a private company that broke no US laws as far as I can tell. Why would the constitution apply?
Nah, you have to write cute little LLMs that grind leetcode for you...
I mean, that makes sense though, she was probably angry at you. "If you're angry at someone you yell at them" is very normal behavior, and has nothing to do with "following orders".

It sounds like you have some hangups that you are projecting onto this situation.
Imo, the most interesting aspect of this story and its subsequent thread of comments is the absolute torrent of information to come from sources all over the internet, international media, and so-called experts, and the sheer impossible task of separating fact from fiction on a minute-by-minute basis.
> whole point of rust is that memory safety issues are never worth the cost

I don’t think that it would be the point of rust — otherwise why not write Java, or a litany of GCd languages instead?

Rust is a low-level/systems programming language where you have more control over the program’s execution (e.g. no fat runtime), which is a necessity in some rare, niche, but important use cases.

Taxes aren't that high even if you are under the standard deduction. Assuming you are married here as you are taking about kids.

Fed + fica is 21% combined. State is 6%. Imputing sales tax doesn't make sense either - rent isn't subject to it.

> The SVB situation was bad enough that the FDIC opted to make creditors whole, but they don’t always do this.

Is this not the first time that they've done this?

> Diversification carries an inherent operational cost

You would think a Fintech startup would have an app for that. Heck, how many companies are outsourcing payroll anyway? Can't ADP do this on their back end? But, of course, now nobody will, because the FDIC did it for free. The least the FDIC could have done was give everyone a haircut instead of making them 100% whole.
Prigozhin is showing that in terms of controlling the narrative he's in a different league than most of his compatriots.

I see this as a continuation of what this whole debacle is all about: regime change.

A large part of the official motivation behind this invasion is preventing civil war in Russia. That's why Ukraine was supposed to be "stabilized".

Putin presents himself as a source of stability and that's how he's perceived for the most part.

To attempt to upend this order is to be either foolish, or very certain of one's position with hard data to back that up. Prigozhin still hasn't been defenestrated, so I suppose it's more the latter than the former.

I always see this and it always rubs me the wrong way. You're presuming that the only form of innovation is an entirely new consumer product.

But keep in mind that Google regularly launches new products and features that are more profitable than many startups, and then shutters them, and regularly launches individual features or pieces of infra that are industry leading (or defining, as in the case of k8s). They just aren't new consumer products.

Every time I've reviewed these sort of code tests I've never even run the code. I just looked if the approach looked alright, and to be honest I don't even care if it gives a slightly wrong answer because everyone can make an error; this is why we got code reviews and such. It's like physics and math classes at school; at least at my school an error in arithmetic was only a small minus if your general approach was okay (one reason I'm not in favour of computerized testing/ratings, because they can only look at the answer).

I don't know what your specific code test was about so I can't really judge, but generally I've considered overcomplicated solutions to be a minus. "I asked you to write a simple CLI and I get some container environment" is not something I would consider positive anyway.

It is more of a difference in British English, where a leash is used to control a large/dangerous animal, while a lead is used more cooperatively (like walking a dog).

I heard lead quite a bit from trainers, and assume their choice in nomenclature is part of the general positive reinforcement nature of modern dog training.

You appear to be suggesting that because you weren’t aware of something that means it isn’t mainstream. I was also born towards the end of the last country and I’m very aware of the stereotypes we’re discussing here. So we’ve got two conflicting anecdotes.
> If the people or the legislature doesn't like the rulings they can look at the judges' reasoning and fix the law,

That's exactly the point. In common law, when a precedent is cited in a later case, it is (like a law) largely protected from "reasoning about". You need to involve the legislature to change it. In civil law, other cases are of course also invoked as references - but not law-like, they're just shortcuts in transferring prior reasoning, and fully open to challenge. Unlike laws.

(But this is really off-topic here anyway.)

> By the act of giving you the email they're implicitly giving you permission to do email things with it - read it, forward it, store it, etc. But you don't own the copyright and can't create and publish derivative works, etc.

None of these things come about from something written in the e-mail. They are that way because it is an e-mail. If you want to tack on other semantics, that's an entirely different thing.

> The question is if the NN weights in an AGI are materially different than the NN weights in a spam filter.

No, that's completely besides the point. The question is whether NN weights trained on data that you received, in this case without any agreement, are materially different from NN weights trained on data that you crawled and that had "you may retrieve and use this data under terms XYZ" restrictions attached. It legally very much matters whether the data got thrown at you or whether you went looking for it on your own accord.
I don't think anything is settled yet. But yes, Putin is weak.

Everyone knows, even in russia, that the war is a desaster.

And now Prigoshin and his Wagner forces, who stood for the only few victories in the last time, turned against Putin. (Even stating, that the war was wrong in the first place and that there never was a threat from Ukraine towards russia.)

And Wagner has the reputation of being ruthless and efficient.

The common national guards really don't want to fight them. They could surely bomb them all to death, but then who will fight and win for russia?

There is currently a ukraine offensive going on. And Wagner occupied an important military HQ in rostov. They will never forgive Prigoshin for that, that is sure, but he plays the only card he has - brute force.

And they came already within 250 km of moscow with little resistance. But that is also, because they don't want to actually fight.
i see you edited your comment to remove the offensive bit, before i could ask quis custodes custodit? but doesn’t honesty and culture of hacker news require that you acknowledge the edit in the text that remains?

i was going to say that scolding is what abusive adults do to helpless kids when they assume that kids can’t be reasoned with. so good thing you realized and took it out. just as you hope that i don’t call anyone stupid so i hope you don’t scold any of hacker news’ patrons anymore :)

Highlighting the 9 second startup time does not bolster confidence.
You realize Putin jails his political adversaries and their supporters? Journalists who don’t tow the party line get silenced or fall out of a window.

This is really nice! What a clever, but oh so obvious, idea. Love it.

Anyone know of an equivalent for MacOS?

Obviously Macs are missing some of the features this uses, but I wander if there any alternatives that could enable this sort of command on a Mac. I assume the lack of native Docker or equivalent is probably indicative of no.
Disagreeing that everyone knew someone who starved.
Or more pragmatically: whatever your motivation to become leader, you can only keep doing that if you stay leader. That means keeping the support of those with the power to dispose you. In authoritarian regimes that often means vast amounts of resources flow to military leadership, police, oligarchs, and anybody else who can effect regime change, their corruption it's tolerated, and everybody else gets what's left. If anything.

The genius of democracy is that regular citizens have the power to cause regime change, so leaders are well advised to care about their opinion too, in addition to all the other groups

This whole thing is dumb. There's never a description of "What is a vehicle?" And there's never a description of, "What is the park's jurisdiction?".

If the author wants to relate this whole thing to content moderation, all they're illustrating is they had crappy guidelines. Give better guidelines and then let's talk. But if you give a crappy set of rules expect a crappy outcome (the outcome where nobody agrees on anything).
Right, but Dan only has to agree with himself, not with everybody else who reads the guidelines and tries to extrapolate from them.
All he wanted to do was have some buttons that react to the mouse and run code. At this point, such a thing should be a language primitive like floating point.
Jooq is not a good example as it is essentially dynamically typed. Queries on the relational algebra can be statically typed, with structural typing and a few type-level features like sets. There are lots of papers on this.
The leader of Wagner thinks Russia has been too soft against Ukraine, and that they should've escalated a lot more (read: should use nukes).

He's not someone to be rooted for. The best case scenario is if they expend as much military resources as possible, and then kill each other.
I looked at this and Cloudron to replace some Docker Compose services I’ve had set up. YunoHost is great because it’s free, but it doesn’t have the same support or feature set as Cloudron. But… Cloudron is $30/mo (plus the cost of the server you use!) if you don’t pay annually. I’m kinda torn. I love the idea of the built-in backups, with, etc but neither option is great.

You might want to check what the difference between mean and marginal tax rate is. For somebody with a lifestyle in which $162k a year is considered "barey livable" that should be sth very easy to understand.

> To me, the answer to all of the questions was crystal-clear.

For other people too, but for them maybe the right answer is different.

Intent is clear until it is not.

Cars obviously aren't allowed. Bicycles are not, either. But can I walk through the park pulling my bicycle ? (I want to cut through the park to avoid a long detour). Some will say that the intent is to avoid have people _driving_ vehicles through the park because it is dangerous, others will say that if that was the intent the rule would be "No driving of vehicles in the park".

What about toy cars ? The extreme cases are easy, an hot wheels car is obviously fine. Something like this [1] I would say not, too fast and dangerous. What about the middle ground ? Are tricycles fine ? Toy car with pedals ? A car-like stroller [2] ?

It is less clear and you will have different complains from different persons. Some people will be pissed off that they can use their vehicle while other can use their. Some people are petty and will try to have any kind vehicle banned "because the rule says so", just to make the life of others miserable.

And this is only about what constitutes a vehicle, we are not even talking about what means "in the park".

You can give moderators (law enforcement, in the park example) freedom to act according the intent ("when I see it I know if it is allowed or not"), but the more freedom they have, the more potential for trouble there is.

Of course people will be disgruntled also if the rule is too specific and inflexible, because that may mean not being able to do something that it "obviously" was meant to be allowed. You need to find a good balance, and the ability to update the rules for the thorny cases.

There is a TASS article from yesterday where the FSB, in english translation, literally said "stab in the back". Unfortunately swapping languages from an article doesn't get the original, so I have no idea what the idiom may be in russian.

I think it’s more the size of the USA and the abundance of its natural resources than its political system that makes it futile to blockade it.

Because a country needs lots of different resources and enough people to be self-sufficient at the current level of technology, I would think almost all smaller countries can be blockaded into the mid-twentieth, if not the nineteenth century, no matter what their political system, if the blockade is held up long enough.

I can’t see countries the size and population of Belgium or Peru making modern cars _and_ modern phones _and_ modern clothing _and_ modern farming tech _and_ plastic _and_ (etc) after an effective decades-long blockade, for example.

Probably not, it could be for other reasons but it’s certainly happening.

It depends what you mean by like China. Nobody’s advocating little red books but there’s plenty advocating for mass surveillance, control of speech, banning books or telling women what the can and can’t do with their bodies.
Cool tech.

As an aside, I HATE the saying "Do, or do not. There is no try." Perhaps the best response I ever heard to this dribble was in the miniseries where piece-of-human-garbage Elizabeth Holmes is played by Amanda Seyfried in "The Dropout".

When all this finishes, Prigozhin is going to need one hell of a biographer. It's a book I'd read for sure. How do you go from running a hot dog stand to leading a mercenary force in -- a coup? Is that what's going on? It's unclear. But whatever is happening there's some fascinating character arc underneath.
There are no factions in Russia capable of starting and winning a civil war. The country's military is deliberately fragmented into many small departments, each with their own standing infantry forces, and its security apparatus is tasked to ensure that they don't all rebel together.

There may be some serious internal power struggle that an outside observer cannot see, but it's far more likely that the invasion was not a desperation move, but just one of the many steps that Putin makes to increase his internal perception of legitimacy.

There's no reason, besides our domestic propaganda and wishful/magical thinking to believe that it was a desperation move from him. His internal-to-Russia legitimacy was quite high prior to the war.

(And it's hard to tell what it is now, because of the crackdown on speech and dissent. So you get political pundits who are talking out their ass four fifths of the time assuring is that no, this time, he's totally on the brink of being out, pinky swear...)

----

Bonus points: If most of your military command is staffed by spineless bootlickers, who were promoted for their loyalty, as opposed to competence, they are very unlikely to join any rebellion against you. There's a good reason for a nation that is secure from outside invasion to have an incompetent military...
Is that always true? If this person is a minority and people are harassing them, for example? Do you remove them for the same if community cohesion or force the community to be more accepting?
