> Ever noticed that somehow only US enemies have "food shortages" ?

Are we going to pretend that a large chunk of Africa, Haiti, Myanmar, Sri Lanka all don't exist?

These "US enemies" you mention are actually all pretty far down the list in terms of severity of food insecurity.

I think you are the one who needs to find more unbiased news sources.
NixOS isn't a security solution.

That's a pretty good approach, but there is one drawback that may be significant for some.

You see a movie or show and then want to talk about it with your friends and find that they've all either won't be back on the right streaming service for a new months or they've seen it months ago and aren't that interested in talking about it any more.

Are any of your observations based on reporting from MSM - the same propaganda machine that spread the Ghost of Kiev fable and other ludicrous Ukraine fables? If this was in fact a treasonous act by Prigozhin then a gruesome death is awaiting him. He, and his co-conspirators, will be made examples of. Secondly, their families will also be targeted to instill additional fear into anyone else thinking about it.

I'm inclined to believe that this entire drama was manufactured by the MSM working with US Intelligence to spread the fallacy that there is chaos on the Russian side. Prigozhin may have been upset that he wasn't getting the support his men needed and may have retreated in protest. And even that is pure speculation.

Prigozhin isn't an idiot and if he purportedly did what the MSM is parroting then he failed spectacularly and sending Putin a j/k, bff? SMS isn't going to cut it. If Prigozhin is alive a week from now, then this was just more manufactured bullshit from the MSM.
> The lending of money is the root cause of so many of modern society's ills.

No, the root cause is scarcity, which also manifests in other ills.

Lending is simply one strategy sometimes used when scarcity happens.

For example, consider a lone shipwrecked man who starves to death on a desolate island. That isn't a tragedy of lending--which is not merely absent but impossible--but a tragedy of scarcity.
It’s not like he’s traipsing around in full combat kit. The look he has chosen is probably meant to convey that 1: we’re at war (regardless of what conditions might be like at your particular location), and 2: I’m not living a pampered lifestyle while you’re sitting in the cold and the dark under threat of missile and drone attack. (Whether that’s true or not is beside the point)
>I've been following climbing since the early 90s. Amongst the pros John Bachar is the only guy I can name who died while free soloing in that time.

There was Derek Hersey, who I guess isn't pro, but certainly was prolific. Among other very notable ascents is his triple route linkup on the Diamond of Longs Peak.

I know it is semantics, but the activities you listed are all very different than free soloing. I'm not trying to pull a "no true Scotsman" here, they are genuinely much different.

What you list are activities that have risk. But in all of these activities there are considerations to implement safety to preserve the participant as much as possible. Most of these activities the participants have multiple layers of safety in case something happens in order to minimize the risk. Sky diving, Nascar, Plane Flying, Space exploration, deep sea diving, all prepare for the worst and implement safeguards to minimize it. The risk is continually minimized.

Of the activities you list, trad-climbing/sport-climbing would be the free-solo equivalent. This the relatively safe method of rock climbing that most people participate in. There is still risk and people still die. But you can make mistakes and the safeguards generally protect you from death.

Free soloing is a level above that. In free soloing, the risk of imminent death is a feature, not a bug. It is embraced as the core of the activity. The only comparable activity equivalent I can think of to Free Soloing is wing suit base jumping, although even that is often done with backup safety systems, so it still puts it a tiny step ahead.

In other words, you could think of all those activities as something people choose to do DESPITE the risks, but free soloing is done BECAUSE of the risks. That makes it very different from other adventure activities.

It's also worth noting that the last two examples (drug running and coming clean to your mother-in-law) are just a matter of necessity and survival. While there's technically choice in both activities, it is only done as a last resort despite the risks, which put those into a 3rd category. They are usually involuntary activities.
You might have felt differently if you hadn't started out with a Colecovision, the games for which were miles ahead of the VCS. When the 2600 was about the only thing going, people didn't have much to compare against until the Intellivision came along. We just had Atari and we liked it.

> is not a deal-breaker or even all that much of a downside per se.

Close, but I don't think you quite get it yet.

It's not about "no downside"! That completely misunderstands. It's about a HUGE upside. It dials in your mental space and all the negative thoughts flood away. You're present in the moment. It's like being on a hard drug, but you feel clean and clear-headed instead of hung over afterward. You feel a lot better about life for days or even weeks at a time. You do it because NOT doing it might just kill you. Free solo today, or shoot yourself in the back of your car at the firepit tonight. And it's not about the risk, and it's not adernaline. It's the focus and calm. Does that make sense? I think it's really hard to understand if you haven't experienced suicidal thoughts for most of your life.

I haven't talked to very many free soloists who haven't made the point that they're horrendously depressed/suicidal and that they do it to live, not to die. Sometimes. Normally the ones who do "quite safe soloing" -- way below their grade, on well-known routes, etc. etc.

The article isn't just about Austin. It's about a lot of people. And not just climbers. Similar dark shit in skiing, mountaineering, dirt biking, and so on.

> Personally, I'd take short-lived good company over long-lived mediocre company any day.

I've never met an irresponsible soloist who wasn't a beautiful soul.
> ...non-climbers wont get this but it can be an incredibly rewarding part of your life, there's a risk to every style not just free soloing and we all accept that risk every time we get on a route.

I'm not a climber, but I get it. However, I have met people who are incapable of thinking about risk at all. As in, if you manged to convince them they were risking their lives driving, they would not be able to drive ever again. For them, ignoring everyday risks is an essential part of navigating life.
> Depending on how you define Western Europe, the most populous country is either Germany or the UK. Both offer abortion for practically any reason within 12 or 24 weeks, respectively, and for health reasons even later. BTW, the cost is covered by the state or statutory insurance (depending on need) in both countries.

I mean Germany, where abortion is illegal at all times by default. Exceptions are another thing, but if we’re talking about actual line-in-the-sand “abortion is now illegal at this point” then Germany draws that line at zero weeks. And accounts for a little over 10% of Europe’s population. Then there’s Poland and others which I’m sure can make up the difference.

Unless you are Japanese, that’s probably not the prevailing culture. For the vast majority of people suicide is seen as a mental illness that should be treated, potentially by force, not as an individual choice. Because a person suffering from mental illness by definition does not have full agency over their decisions. Even the idea of allowing suicide for terminally ill people is controversial (although it’s something I personally support).

In the past, suicide was viewed as immoral and criminal. We have moved past that, not because suicide is more socially acceptable, but because of a desire to more easily help people suffering from mental illness.

It's a shame that this is flagged while the front page is with few exceptions populated with irrelevant things.

A vocal number of technologists believe that we should talk only of positive things because this will make the world a better place. Truth is that they are fortunate and can afford to live in fantasy, disconnected from reality.

While this is good for their own mental health. I don't think that those building dangerous tools with potential to create dire consequences should have this right. Humanity will pay the cost of being smart but unwise.
A country’s army should protect the country, not the foreign interests of a few wealthy or powerful citizens of that country. Non-interventionists would go as far to say they shouldn’t get involved in any foreign wars at all. I think it’s hard to expect allies that would help defend without the opposite, but that could be limited to aiding foreign defense.
the ecconomy is not a zero sum game so you cannot calculate anything. We can however say with confidence that without that cost of money people would buy other things instead, and so would be better off.

So what did the student authors work "really hard on" if not the same data that was collected without consent? Either all student authors are at fault for working on a paper based on data collected without consent or none are. It's not publishing the paper that is the problem here.
There's so much we don't know, and won't know for a while.

Big questions:

1. What was Prigozhin's attack plan? He was an experienced military commander who had fought against tough opposition and won. He and his staff would have had a plan with some chance of working. Zooming up the freeway to Moscow was going to run into opposition at some point. Probably at a major bridge, which is where armored assaults traditionally get stuck. Then what? What was the plan? A deal with the other side to get out of the way? Some advance forces to seize key bridges and choke points?

Forcing an opposed river crossing is difficult, and more importantly here, slow. A coup has to be fast, winning before the other side gets fully mobilized. Slow coups either fail or turn into civil wars.

2. After reaching Moscow, then what? 5000 troops could not take Moscow. But they might be enough to take out Putin. Was that the commander's intent?

In the aftermath of this, look to see which mid-level Russian commanders get purged. This had a chance if it had some support, or at least lack of opposition, on the Russian military side. Without that, it was going nowhere. Prigozhin must have some indications of support from somebody.

I’m not sure why this isn’t a more popular position on a board full of entrepreneurs. I’m all for a government that prevents people from screwing each other over, but it doesn’t mean it should enter that market and screw everyone over.
Sure. There are two types of free soloing; the former gets talked about a lot and the latter is still not something people talk about very often. Or at leas the motivation behind it. And talking about the safer type even functions as a way of deflecting from conversations about the latter type ("oh it's really quite safe").

I think it's clear from my post that I mean the non-"5.7 jug fest/flatirons/etc." type people don't talk about. Sorry if I'm not being clear.

In another comment I called it "soloing as a sort of suicidal release that hopefully doesn't end in death". The difficulty isn't as important or the point; it's the sort of climbing where, for the climber, there's very little or no margin. Which for some could be some very easy thing. It's relative. I mean the mental health aspect, and how it correlates with risk selection, not the climbing per se.
Classic post-rationalization imo. If someone had written "conditions are now optimal for Wagner to stage faux-coup stunt to get what he wants" on Wednesday or Thursday, I'd be impressed. But claiming afterwards that the idealness of the conditions is proof that he must have been planning it for a while...the author is just fooling himself. He should read Taleb's The Black Swan.
I'm not OP, but I'm claiming exactly that. I'll go further. I don't even consider so-called climate scientists "scientists."

Yeah, that's logically what it is—point is just to reduce memory traffic. (And, for that matter, memory subsystem ops, which is amusing as distribution by contrast directly exploits the memory subsystem.) I haven't read anything about it, but I came up with the following scheme:

A basic efficient scheme for merging two arrays is: pop one vector from the left array, pop one from the right array, merge them with some oblivious sorting network, and then write out the low vector. Keep the high in reserve. Then repeatedly pop a vector from whichever array has the lower initial element, merge it with the reserve vector, and write out the low vector from the result.

We can imagine doing something similar to merge k inputs: pop one vector from each input, and merge them all together. Write out the low vector, keeping the remaining k-1 in reserve; then, repeatedly pop one vector from the input with the lowest initial element (can be determined with a tourney tree[0]), merge it with the k-1 reserve vectors, and write out the low result. The problem is that this is inefficient; we have to do a 1:k-1 merge. The solution is queueing. Pop k vectors, each time from the lowest remaining input. Merge the k vectors all together (if k is a power of two, then this is completely balanced), then merge the fresh k with the reserve k-1 (only slightly unbalanced), and write out the low k results, leaving the high k-1 as the reserve for the next iteration.

For very large inputs, this will be inadequate (I think I can get up to k=8 on avx512), but it can be layered using in-memory buffers; 8^2=64-way merge seems reasonable, especially given that at this point you probably want to use multiple cores.

Multiway powersort looks interesting, thanks! I was wondering how to solve that problem.

Walkable cities are great and that's one way to reduce the impact of car accidents. Another way is to prevent the most catastrophic kinds of accidents from occurring in the first place by manufacturing the cars to be incapable of them.

There's no reason, for example, that a car traveling on an urban street must dutifully obey the command of the buzzed teenager driving it to accelerate to 100 mph. We don't need to wait for full self-driving to make the cars more aware of their surroundings and incapable of doing things that are already illegal and absurdly dangerous.

All new cars manufactured for use on public rights-of-way should immediately be throttled to the nation's highest speed limit on any road (85 mph in the U.S.). The most obvious kinds of awareness capabilities should shortly follow (e.g. am I on an Interstate Highway right now? No? Then I cannot travel at speeds that are only legal on Interstate Highways.)

We don't manufacture any other product with buttons that invoke illegal functions and then spend millions on education and enforcement to persuade people never to press them. It is absurd to allow the manufacture of a product that is designed for breaking the law and that we know with great statistical certainty will used to do so.
> wouldn’t consider chaos, depressions, lack of food, and societal collapses as fine outcomes for humans and civilisation

Within the (rhetorical) context of potential extinction, surviving is just fine.

The intersection of folks gearing up on climate change and far-flung humanitarian outcomes is limited. The fraction of the first doing it for the second, smaller still.

Recognising incentives—even unsavoury ones—is key to changing behaviour. If you are middle class or above in the rich world, or over 50, climate change is unlikely to ruin you. If you’re in the upper class in the rich world, climate change is unlikely to materially inconvenience you or your direct descendants. (You may even see opportunity.)

Acting on the environment has to come from a place of stewardship and compassion. Self-interested quips per Carlin, while pithy, don’t hold. This framework explains why haughty climate activism fails; you’re trading someone’s present living standard for another’s future. Uncompensated, that will provoke backlash à la les guillettes jaunes, Canada’s trucker protest or whatever coal country is up to right now.
This rings true to me. I improved my surfing most at a point in my life where drowning didn’t really worry me. Not because it was less likely, but because I was at a point where I didn’t care much if I died.
