Maybe they are betting that putin can’t use nukes because it would imply Article 5, and that the Russian army is spread too thin for them to curb their uprising.

But take everything I said with a grain of salt, I know nothing of geopolitics or russian culture.
I had stumbled my way there, but I appreciate it in case I hadn't. I should have linked that once I found it in my edit on reflection so much obliged sir for the help there

my thinking is there's a lot of learning to be had from people who are doing this kind of thing. How much faster could we find people if we act like they've got good reasons to them that got them lost? Like with bad maps. Or even being better able to find people while they're alive if things like those maps and other things are looked over and you try to mentally figure out what they think might make sense? Walk a mile in someone's shoes. I ain't no expert on this but I keep reading police reports or park reports on missing people and a lot of times it seems like searchers mistake their idea of the fact with the lost persons idea of the fact. am I crazy or does that seem like a really big mistake? I'd like to know more just don't know where to go learning more about this sorta thing
They’d probably meant a trailer.
What is the state of decentralized betting platforms where people can place crypto on their predictions?

Shouldn't that give us the best possible predictions? Everybody with expertise or inside knowledge who sees the probabilities are off would rush in, place bets and "correct" the probabilities while making a profit.
Ukraine struggles with ideas what to do with unloyal population on ukranian occupied territories. Main ideas are "we just mass deport locals to Russia" (FTR that's a genocide and not because of destination) and "we just forbid russian propaganda there and everyone would magically start love us and accept ukrainization".
And you are talking about russian territories that combined have size of half of Ukraine and which population is extremely unloyal to ukranian government.
In professional context, development is driven by a business need: a "feature", a "change", or a "fix". Feature usually requires large number of tickets and multiple iterations, change require few tickets and one or two iterations, fix usually 1 ticket. Each ticket may require number of required steps to be completed, such a coding, testing, integration testing, documenting, reviewing, CI, QA, pushing to production, in production monitoring, reporting,etc. Nobody, except junior developers, will write a unit test out of blue sky. The simplest ticket: a "fix", may require reproduction, automatic test case, debugging, fix in the code, testing, update of documentation, review, CI, QA, push to production, reporting. You can do all that in one sit (half a day), keeping details in the head (harder, but faster), OR you can write off details from the head to the ticket, and then do tasks step by step in small bites, hour by hour, in multiple days (easier, but order of magnitude slower).
The apostrophe placement is significant: it's two's complement (complement of two) but ones' complement (complement of ones, plural).
Mullvad VPN removed port forwarding likely due to users sharing CSAM
The normal uses for port forwarding when using a VPN could be hosting a local Minecraft server for example, and using port forwarding to hide your real IP address from other people.

However, visiting https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/en/peer will also show what has been torrented from your IP address. Using Mullvad VPN, if visiting this link when using the VPN it can either just be normal pirated content like movies or music - or something much worse.

A Reddit comment that explains the real problem:

"This fucking sucks. I always choose a Mullvad server in the region closest to me when torrenting. I just visited IKnowWhatYouDownload while connected to said region, and sure enough, right at the top, it says, 'Distributes c____ pornography'. Makes me feel sick now knowing I'm using an IP address that's used for this."

Hard to say what the videos in Moscow are of then if that’s the case.
Are you saying that American Heart Association, NHS UK, British Dietetic Association and WHO recommendations are wrong because people can't be bothered to change their diets.

One can not have their cake and eat it too. Either we defer truth to the experts and cite what they say as if that was the end of discussion, or we use the word of experts to advance the discussions with the caveat that experts recommendation exist in the context of culture and concessions that those expert individuals made. This apply to both a vegan diet and fish.

Current industry farming technique is terrible and belong to a time when we did not care about animal welfare nor did we understand the destructive an inhumane nature of large scale industry. Sadly this apply to every form of farming, from animals, to agriculture, to fishing. As a society we don't know how to generate a lot of food at the lowest price possible without the side effect of massive harms.

And for many people eating plants only is extremely difficult. Metabolic illnesses have significant increased in the last 100 years (or those who suffer from them have managed to survive and reproduce). A likely contributing cause is our current lifestyle of using artificial light (harming the circadian clock) and Sedentary lifestyle. All this contribute to a smaller selection of diets that any individual can eat and stay healthy on, and it mostly up to trial and error to determine which diet work with any particular individual. Beans and grains works for some people and in others it will cause drowsiness, allergic reaction, and/or pain.

As an random example, look up FODMAPs and check around how different people react to those foods. Take a random vegetarian diet and how many items list high or low, and then compare it to a random non-vegetarian diet. Diet and health are complex issues with few simple answers, and most dietitians seem to operate on a extremely individualistic level.
That was not how I interpreted the results. Nor the discussion elsewhere on this page where some people included skateboards and bicycles under "vehicle" and some did not.
very confused by the logo, which is the one from the swift programming language. What's the relationship ?
the child in the electric toy car is probably the real dividing line on the question of what is a "vehicle"... the ISS orbiting is the line on what is "in the park"... and the police car in an emergency is where you're supposed to bend the definition of the word "allowed".

I think the answer to the survey is "I want to talk to my lawyer".

> The author completely intended for this level of discussion by asking for you to dogmatically follow the rule and posing a lot of circumstances where most people would allow it to be broken. It appears to be working as intended.

Yeah, this is what I saw the intent as. Author knew some people would interpret their words very carefully, being explicit to follow "the letter" (as is explicitly asked). But recognized that a large number of people wouldn't do this and let their own biases sink in. Then a meta conversation would start. Really all the gamble depends on is having a sufficiently large sample size. Even better if differing native languages. The "gotcha" people (like the shoes person), the dogmatic "obvious" people, and the "well in the real world" people even add to the chaos that illustrates the author's point: absolute precision in language (including interpretation) is impossible. Communication is inherently a fuzzy process. To me it is often striking that people don't recognize language as fuzzy.
Yeah interesting to see.

His videos are consistently insisting he is just defending and not hostile to Russia. Which is of course how he should position himself.

But Putin essentially gave him the death sentence so one or the other has to go.
That is a brilliant way to look at it.

So it's all the same for bits [0-6], except for a -128 offset. Awesome!
There is no reason. How nukes benefit Putin?

only if maybe Russians will interpret this as super matcho/alpha , to sacrifice entire cities including their future to cleanup your own shit.
It's easy to do. You set exclusions for whole root drive letters. It scans nothing for me on Windows 11
The people who have legitimate inside information are billionaires and I doubt the market would be that deep. And it's a genuine coup, so the outcome is fundamentally unknowable. But yeah, historically prediction markets are great for stuff like this.

They are in Voronezh now on their way to capture local airfield - regular Russian units backfilled with conscripts (the good ones were all decimated in Ukraine) won't take on Wagner troops on the ground.

Air power will be the key.
I guess people could use it as a form of post-training "compression"
is there some foss email inbound software that can take email "in" using wildcards or restricted email ids and dumps the same into a DB?

i have to apply regex to the email body and other stuff and keep only the relevant bit .

i see the managed softwares but i want something on my own vps.
It looks similar but not the same.
While russia nuking themselves would be hilarious end of the current clown fiesta, I don't think they are that stupid, there is no way to explain that to public in favourable way to whichever side is left standing
If you gnaw off the fold, does the remaining part become a sandwich? If you bite off a piece that excludes the fold, does it become sandwich in the mouth? Fascinating mystery, right up there with the transubstration in that cannibal religion!
Probably an easy scape goat then if he was the black sheep of the kremlin.
rustup ?
Some companies can't even be bothered to respond _during_ the process, let alone with feedback after!

A couple of years ago a company send me a detailed take-home project that was supposed to take about a week with an engineer assigned to answer any questions I had, and by the day before it was due, neither the engineer or the recruiter hadn't bothered to respond to a single one of my three questions I replied with over the next few days, including a basic yes-or-no clarification about whether one of the libraries they listed as okay to use included one of its optional but extremely common extensions. When I replied on final time on the thread saying that spending any more time on the project would be a waste of my time and that I was no longer interested, the recruiter finally responded a day later saying "sorry, that engineer was busy" and adding a new engineer to the thread.

It was a waste of time for me, but I also realized that I probably dodged a massive bullet by not working there. An engineer not proactively telling the recruiter they won't have time due to unexpected work or a recruiter not noticing the lack of response from the engineer assigned to their candidate might be an individual failure, but both happening without anyone involved seeming to notice or care is a pretty good sign of dysfunction at the organizational level.
> "after you stepped on his toe, did you apologize?" "Yes, so you acknowledge fault?" or "No? so you didn't even care?"

Sorry, but I don't take imaginary inventions of your own mind as real citations.

That's real class, right there.
It's not the exact same logo. It may just be another representation of a swift (a type of bird).
I've got Firefox on a widows 10 box for work and ever since whichever ESR update made it just difficult enough to tell which tab is active to be annoying, Firefox crashes for me all the time and it never just takes out a single tab either.

I really blame myself though. It only happens after I've had the browser open for weeks, with at least 3 windows open at once, and literally hundreds of open tabs with hundreds more come and gone since Firefox was restarted. I have about:memory bookmarked, and hitting everything in the Free Memory box seems to delay the inevitable a bit while allowing Javascript seems to make it worse. I doubt many others have the problem and I'm impressed Firefox holds up as well as it does!
Because it depends who wins.
> The difference is that ambulances/police are allowed to break the rules in an emergency - famously, ambulances have a legal right to speed and run red lights in an emergency, and cops obviously have a right to trespass.

I think this is just a way of saying that they are not breaking the rule, simply because the rule doesn't apply to them.
It was other city far from Moscow. What I see is civilians are split in 2 camps , young ones that follow social media will probably be in one camp and old people that only follow TV will be in other camp. Let's see what is next.

And I see that a few started blaming USA, Israel and nazis for this.
ctrl-z doesnt kill the runnning program, just puts it to the background. The process is still present with all RAM still held by it... you ca use "fg" to bring it back to the foreground.
I think you meant ctrl-c which kills the process.
> police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign.

The question was not about whether the rule ought to be followed, but whether it was violated. Content moderation can work under these circumstances, too.

The setup in the beginning even tries to take the ought out of the deliberations: "Your job is to determine if this rule has been violated. You might know of some rule in your jurisdiction which overrides local rules, and allows certain classes of vehicles. Please disregard these rules [...]" an even goes on to mention other sources of norms. It explicitly then says: "Again, please answer the question of whether the rule is violated (not whether the violation should be allowed)."
Yeah he is being smart, positioning himself as pro Russian. Which he probably is. But doesn't not make it a coup.

Putin calling him a traitor is a death sentence. If he didn't already plan to, now his only option seems to be to move against Putin.

In don't see how they can both stay in power for much longer. One of them has to go.
You'd have to ask someone who didn't get 11
Mutiny in Russia Is on Rise – Rostov Fallen, Some Generals Answer to Prigozhin [video]
They're likely the "anti-terrorist" measures that have been announced. Not hard to say at all.
Police, ambulances and fire trucks are if anything some of the clearest violations. They are unambiguously vehicles. They are unambiguously entering the park.

It was really surprising to me how many so explicitly ignored the instructions for them.
This is off the hook. @mysaigin says the AN-24 shoot down is old... oh well.

If nothing else Putin's prerogatives just experienced a sudden realignment. Going to be hard to continue prosecuting the Ukraine invasion.
I got 11% - did anyone not get 11%?

This seems rather unworkable in general if there's no way to learn from anything without infringing somehow if you use what you learned.

And I mean that to apply to humans as well as AI, because I'm not convinced that 'learning' is actually different in the two cases.
Had the two‘s complement journey a couple of month ago:

http://www.hadjian.com/articles/20221229_twos_complement.htm...

If you can answer why two‘s complement has an apostrophe and ones complement doesn’t, you understood it ;-)
"very tiny portion" that's a gross misrepresentation. Rust sits at ~10% and C++ at ~27% https://4e6.github.io/firefox-lang-stats/.
So by this logic this is just a mutiny? To become a proper coup they would have to replace the government and the president who if I understand correctly is formally the leader of the military. In order to do that they should be marching towards the capital. Since this is what appears to be in progress, is it unreasonable to call it a "possible coup in progress"?
I don’t think we need a court case for that. Model weights aren’t copyrightable by the trainer in the US. Copyright only protects works of human authorship, and training a network is not authorship.

If the model weights encode other copyrighted works literally enough then they may be copyrighted by the author(s) of the works, that is a gray area. But the training process itself is not authorship and doesn’t confer copyright.
No, it's not as it should be - there should always be a toggle. You should respect the user setting as the default, but please, always include a toggle.

As of 11:05 cest, 2023-06-24, manifold thinks Russia will curb wagner group, and reaching moscow is at 10%. It id considered a serious attempt (95%). Expect a civil war by July 14 (70%).

“CSS only” and “Use JavaScript to change” seems to be contradictory.
I wonder if there's opportunity for overlap with darling (https://www.darlinghq.org/) here, somewhat like using WINE on top of actual Windows.
I was talking from the perspective of the average user who's moving from away Windows on their 10+ year old laptop, not the developer/tinkerer focused HN userbase who always wants to be on the bleedings edge.

Debian/Ubuntu stable is more than good enough for 95% of the average users, especially, on such old machines, you're better off with Ubuntu/Debian stable than bleeding edge rolling. You don't get any benefits from rolling on such old hardware for the average user but get more risks from potential issues from being on the bleeding edge.

Ubuntu distros exist that take KDE to the bleeding edge but keep everything else on the sabe branch, you don't need to go rolling distro for that.
I did read the paper, I always thought it was theoretical too. Then I saw a video with maddog saying he witnessed Ken logging in using his backdoor.
Russian (state) controlled vehicles there for security? Can you link to sources?

The (very few) videos that I've seen look like Russian state vehicles.
I got 11% too and wondered what it means.
Seems unlikely tbh, he will turn into a martyr, and irradiation of NATO countries will trigger A5.
"So far this is not a coup, as there has been no bid to seize power from the government."

Not sure about mutiny, because he is not a soldier, technically. He is the leader of illegal but tolerated private mercenary company. (Yep Wagner are theoretically illegal per Russian law)

I am definitely not blaming anyone for calling it "possible coup" or "coup" or even "an attempt to start civil war". The original intent was to explain that coup in quotation marks is also alright term to use.

Edit: every single time I write "wagner are technically illegal in Russia" I get downvoted in HN. It is pattern at this point. So, guys, if that was reason for downvote, yep they are illegal per Russian law.
My idea is to use your solution to solve the halting problem.
Giving your very best usually takes time and energy, which are finite resources. For many people a job is just an instrument to finance other things (an idea, education, a hobby) that also take time and energy. So depending on your particular goals and life situation not giving your very best is perfectly ok.

That doesn't seem right to me. Deep sea and space seem equally dangerous
It's crystal clear until it's not. In the UK a bicycle is, rightly so, considered a vehicle. I know this, but I'd guess many British people do not. I also understand why bicycles are considered vehicles and, when on my bike, tend to follow the spirit of rules and designs that appear to prohibit vehicles.

I would not ride in the park, but would walk my bike in the park. I'd be breaking the rules but adhering to the spirit of them.
"resourceful"... Wow I'm impressed by the level of bullshittery. I wouldn't want to work as an engineer in a place where honesty and following the rules is a detriment
I know this is a "gotcha" comment, but it actually only adds to the author's point: language is fuzzy and imprecise. Moreso, that we assume it has far higher precision than it actually does.

We can think of communication as having 3 main components. 1) the intended concept being intended to convey. This is in the person's head. 2) The fuzzy compression mode (language) that is used to convey said thought. Be that words, writing, or interpretive dance. 3) The fuzzy decoder that turns the language into a thought in another being's head. This is filled with priors and assumptions that fill in many of the gaps.

The thing about this is that we usually learn to speak in pretty localized groups, meaning that our priors align and we have a lot of good faith (attempting to interpret intent rather than interpreting the words). But with a larger audience we have higher variance that makes what is obvious a priori a disastrous outcome. "Everybody knows" is not something everyone knows. https://xkcd.com/1053/

More frustrating is when you complete the assignment (all tasks) but still fail because an unspecified task was not completed.

My biggest learning about software interviewing is spotting immaturity. I have it down to three points:

1) The only purpose to software is automation. It’s not data, entertainment, or anything else. If an internal team is not aggressively applying automation like static analysis or automated tests to their code they are not mature and I will not work there.

2) Does the team or employer understand the software platform they are hiring for? Software platforms are things like web browser, a game engine, terminal emulator, and so forth. I most commonly see over confidence about this when the employer is fully reliant on some framework to do everything. That is serious code smell because any deviation or problem outside the framework results in serious emotional problems. I do tire of emotional junior developers trying to define my job as some sort of infantile pacifier.

3) Can the team communicate in writing? I mean specifically the other developers.

These failures are what I see in 95%+ of software employers. I am willing to take a massive pay reduction to join an employer that doesn’t fail from such immaturity.
Modular arithmetic is fun.

There is some modulo 7 arithmetic and find myself routinely thinking about some numbers like 5 or 6 as -2 and -1 reapectively
Personally, if this was a coup, I’d say Wagner would have taken control of important infrastructure by now (e.g. the Kremlin, state tv, military depots, Putin / defence minister). Or been killed/arrested himself.

This feels more like a civil war. It might not last long of course. We’ll see.
