Sigh, you really want to die on this hill...

1. Round the clock bombing. We saw how F-117, flying the same route day after day in Serbia was shot down by an S-75 Dvina (first deployed in 1957) in optical mode. You will never see a B-2 flying in daylight any more than you would see an AC130.

2. What US artillery can outrange an S300/S400? US artillery is already outranged by Russian artillery.

3. Missile strikes are the only thing you list that are even doctrinal against a modern A2AD system. And those are limited, as NATO found out when several members ran out of smart munitions when overthrowing Qaddafi. But yes, that's what we'd use. JASSM, Tomahawk, SCALP, etc.

4. Using Iraq as a measure of how we'd fight a near peer opponent is ridiculous. While Iraq had a large standing army, it was never a match for the US in 1991, much less 2003. There are numerous things we did in Iraq that we'd never have attempted in the Fulda Gap.

5. Finally, back to HALO. Sure the operator jumping out using HALO might have a minimized signature, but remember that big, lumbering transport that he's jumping out of? The one with the ginormous radar signature? Flying high (so the H in HALO) can occur, meaning every radar in the world can spot it? BOOM. Shot down as soon as it's in range of an S400. Which is roughly between 300 and 400KM. So if you're expecting a team dropping in by HALO to survive, you're delusional.
Nobody is 'averse to thinking for themselves'. But there are millions of scientific and economic decisions made every day and it's unrealistic to expect everyone to fully vet all of them. Additionally, stupid people are gulible and easily preyed upon by the unscrupulous. It's not unreasonable to delegate product oversight to a government commission, whose opinions consumers can choose to seek/abide by, or not.

It's weird how the word 'violent' is changing I guess it means I'm getting old and out of touch.
Doom, Quake and System Shock all have high profile remasters in spite of their source releases. Hell, one could argue they had high profile remasters because the source ports kept the game and communities alive.

Meanwhile, look at Unreal. Not even sold anymore.
Making breaking changes to markdown is about as practical as doing it to HTML -- already existing content and mindshare give the current form massive inertia.

The is especially the case when it works for the vast majority of use cases (or can be hammered into them); ambigiuities are very visible to implementers and detail-oriented folks, but most people never see these issues, or don't care about them.

And, while it sucks that it's complicated to implement, that burden is on relatively few people. See also: the HTML Priority of Constituencies.
I also made my own editor a long time ago, used it for personal use and on the writing site roleplay.cloud. It had lisp-like syntax, custom expansions. It also had some of these ideas, reference links, I would run code snippets with [python ...]. Normal html code would also work, like [br] instead of <br>

Heh, they're worth a trillion because they figured how to get you, the user, to do their work. Not because they spend the money they make.
Well, considering the reports coming out about how their radar systems have been deployed lacking the necessary gear (due to widespread corruption), I think that it's possible the B-2 could still penetrate. Russia's a huge country, and he who defends everything defends nothing.
Cool post! I'm curious how big your wasm file ended up being?

For node, it would be interesting to compare performance, weight, and gotchas of the wasm approach vs. building a shared library with Rust and then pulling it in through node-gyp. Loading wasm is certainly a lot simpler, but multithreading support seems shaky and I imagine there may be some other drawbacks compared compiling into node directly, despite the added complexity.
That's legit and a sign that you're on the right track. I was an early user of lichess when it was getting started and they were always a better experience than either chess.com or internet chess club, it was just a matter of convincing the best players to play there. Hope things grow and I'll do my best to convince my friends who play to give the site a shot :)

Yeah, and a lot of people also think it's a "EU only" club, but other countries like Norway, Switzerland, and the UK are also members.
And all it takes is one state to pass one and they're in the same situation as the gays. Their reasoning isn't all that distinct, Row, Loving, and Obergefell are all based on the constitutional protection that is now gone. If such a law was passed it would be upheld as constitutional. And Thomas knows this which is why in the opinion he invented some flimsy reasoning as to why interracial marriage has some deeper history in the US than gays being life partners.

I'm not really sure what you're arguing, I think we're saying the same thing. More people are against gay marriage than interracial marriage but lord knows that crowd isn't gone by a long shot.

Decentralisation doesn’t necessarily mean federation (the source of “unsynchronised servers”), though. RSS/Atom is still a thing (and more widely supported than ActivityPub).

The only issue for microblogs is needing multiple accounts for comment sections, which can be solved by SMTP, anonymous guest posting, social login, or WebMentions (which I don’t really like due to the complexity and federation, but thought I’d mention).
It's not obvious. Per Mudge's whistleblowing, Twitter didn't have a test environment so it's entirely possible they had no idea this would happen.[1]

The web page seems to say that you have to jailbreak devices running iOS 14 or higher, which would presumably include the current iPad Pro models:

> If you are running iOS 14.0, 14.1, 14.4, or higher: UTM works if you are jailbroken or semi-tethered with Jitterbug, AltJIT, or Jitstreamer.

Presumably iOS 14 and later include security features that prevent you from running generated (JIT translated) code directly. I imagine that tethering to a development environment might allow translated code to be signed, or perhaps it supports code injection via the debugger interface.

I think most experts were fascinated by the whole experiment as it is essentially gathering data on a subject we had theories on but no experiments.

I used to work at a company where both the main data center and the main dev office were in the flight path of a major airport. We joked that if the data center had a plane hit it we’d go down quickly but recover but if the office building got hit we be fine for a while but long term in trouble.
Yikes. Great point.
So, let me get this straight. Are you saying that our economic system only works if the right people have money?

Then it sounds like the problem isn't 'who has money', it sounds like we need to scrap the economic system. What do you propose we replace it with?
I have been using wz_mini_hacks [1] on my Wyze V3 and have been pretty happy with it. Among other things, it has a “self-hosted” mode which patches the binaries running on the camera to no longer phone home to Wyze servers. I’ve been using it on my local network over RTSP with no issues.

Your Book Review: Safe Enough?

Finalist #7 in the Book Review Contest
Seems to answer correctly on first shot. Are you using the older GPT3.5?

No, Jack Nicholson's first film was not "Little Shop of Horrors". Nicholson's first film was "The Cry Baby Killer", which was released in 1958. He played the lead role of a teenager who gets into trouble with the law.

While it's true that Nicholson appeared in "The Little Shop of Horrors," it wasn't his first film. He had a small role in the 1960 film, which is a low-budget, dark comedy about a man-eating plant. Nicholson played a masochistic dental patient in the film. This film has become a cult classic and is often mistaken as his first film due to its popularity.
On the other hand, some unions (mine) sign contracts that say they will not strike and do whatever they can to prevent one.

I haven't witnessed what happens if the members were determined to anyway, or read up on the circumstances of past wildcat strikes.

Also, the last time I saw something about my local hospital nurses' union in the news, they were alleging that the recruiting and employment of foreign nurses violated human trafficking laws. Basically, they signed people up from another country with a huge penalty if they quit early as "compensation" for the cost of importation.

To me, that strongly suggested the union was not playing a strong hand, when it comes to "unsafe policies".
Sure, but a slash before and after a word? I don’t think that’s common outside of file paths.
> The narratives have aligned over the years as if they were our enemy.

We've been narrated to over the years that they are our enemies, yes.

> They use (basically) slave labor, unethical materials (e.g. live plucking), environmentally damaging materials (e.g. banned CFCs), they happily pollute the earth as if tomorrow isn't a concern.

Why is this all of a sudden a problem when China does it, but not when our firms do this in their off-shore sweatshops and subsidiaries and mining and agricultural interests?

It sounds like all of these things aren't a problem, it's that we aren't profiting from them that's the problem.

Ethically, they are our enemies in the same scope that our multi-nationals are our enemies. They too are incompatible with human rights and democracy.

PG did not use the term moonlighting for the fact that you don’t have to.

That is unless you agreed to a contract that forbids from holding multiple jobs.

When the previous poster said:

> A crisis of unhappiness in this country

I think he was right to say "this country". I've been places where, by all objective measures, the people have it much worse, but I don't get the sense that they're unhappy the way that we are.

> As for who's selling it; basically everyone is

If that we're the case, it would be happening everywhere. We'd just call it the human condition. The contrast upon returning to the US wouldn't feel so stark.

I think there is a relatively small demographic who is selling the uniquely dissatisfying American worldview much more strongly than the rest of us are. And conscious or otherwise, they have their reasons.

If we start ignoring the programming en masse, I expect they'll switch to less subtle means of control.

I'm not saying we shouldn't do it. I think everyone should trip at least once precisely because it helps you cast off habits of mind that aren't serving you. But when that capability is in everybody's toolkit... Well I think it's going to be a bumpy ride. Worth taking, but bumpy.

How can you tell the difference between the same thing but updated packaging for the companies new brand from a whole new thing unrelated to the first? And in the grey area it is this years upgrades/version (is this still the same thing?)

Zero idea is a bit much. Seems like an entirely reasonable assumption.

Being a democracy didn't stop the US from killing Guatemalans over the possibility of bananas costing a couple more cents, or installing or supporting dictatorships in foreign countries when it benefited them. How much power do voters really have in determining foreign policy or large financial decisions?

It is also not quite right to treat the Chinese government as a single minded monolith in determining their own policies. There is tons of internal factions and divisions within their own political system. Yeah sure certainly Xi has a lot of power, but only so long as he doesn't try to buck off the opinions and ideals over the rest of their political class, a political class who holds many of the same opinions and ideas as the US political class. The political sphere in China today is nothing near what it was 50 years ago.
Wait method could expand into some kind of systemd library api calls which are more complicated. That's the thing about macros, 99% of the time they could just be functions, and when they're control flow macros that specialize away some runtime checks, you rarely save more than a few nanoseconds.

Google did this a long time ago. It’s more nuanced than you think. Two requests would be issued and the first acknowledged one cause the second to be cancelled. There was a public paper on this from Dean iirc and the method is a decade old.

I don't know what you're getting at here. We're not talking about values. We're talking about why the word "psychedelics" is a worthless term as far as the law is concerned.

From a values standpoint, I don't see how it would be idiotic to schedule truly dangerous drugs like 25i-NBOMe more strictly than psilocybin or LSD.

It was a weird time. The Xbox existed and while not as powerful as PCs of the day, were closer in terms of cutting edge features thanks it's GPU with prorammable shaders. Doom 3 managed a decent port and Far Cry was remade as Far Cry Instincts which while less graphically impressive, was the better game. Half Life 2 got a port in 2005, but woof, it's pretty rough.

The real winner that year was The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, which did what Doom 3 did (stencil shadows, normal maps, unified lighting) on Xbox months before Doom 3's release on PC. It's the better game, too.
It’s not about intentional death at that point and it’s moral relativism. So chicken eggs would be far better.
This isn't the norm in Silicon Valley. Most companies will agree to exceptions to their Assignment of Inventions agreement if you ask, as long as it's not directly competitive.
I had a five year period where I wrote book reviews for fun - and to get more book reviews posted to Slashdot, so I could post Amazon affiliate links there.

It was an interesting combination of events. It got kicked off because I read a book review on Slashdot and the reviewer mentioned getting a book in the mail. I asked ( not expecting any response ) how people just got books in the mail for free.

Later that day I got an email from a publicist at O'Reilly. That kicked things off.

When I was in the thick of it a few years in I got to exchange brief emails with Jon Scalzi, Tim O'Reilly and Lev Grossman. I think Grossman was my favorite because I've read his reviews, respect his ability and he complimented my review of The Magicians.

The other part of it was that I had a Slashdot subscription and that meant I saw things that were greenlit by the editors early. All book reviews would have a link to Barnes & Noble. I would see the reviews early and often get a first post and I'd put a link to the book on Amazon at a lower price. That would be an affiliate link and anyone who clicked on it - I'd get a cut of anything they bought on Amazon for the next 24 hours.

So the publicists liked me getting reviews in front of a large tech audience ( Slashdot still was at the time ) and I took my affiliate payments as Amazon gift cards - so I got free stuff.

Something else I found funny was my reviews were all tech books, Sci-fi or fantasy. Whenever possible I'd get an ebook. Somehow I got on a list with Penguin where they were just mailing all kinds of physical books that were fiction but not anything I'd read. I couldn't get them to stop. They kept sending them for years after I moved away from where I lived at the time. (Friends would occasionally let me know books were still showing up.)
FarCry Instincts was much better than FarCry, I'll fight ya!
No idea. But if it goes through OpenCl it will likely expose the same bugs.

Btw, core EF is quite efficient (perf wise) on the decoding side even on GPUs. I wanted to do PEF, but that seemed a bit more involved and I didn't have the time to do it. Here's a GPU implementation for graph problems if anyone is interested: https://github.com/pgera/efg. I also used folly on the encoding side and it works great.
Seattle's air pollution quality is so low because there's a vast ocean separating the Seattleites from the manufacturing that supplies it with new phones, appliances, furniture, clothing, building materials and just about everything from the source of the pollution.

Rain is nice, but that has very little to do with it.

> The pair - natives of North Manchester in the United Kingdom who now live in Houston, Texas with their three children - had been searching for homes near Nashville, Tennessee when they came across the property.

Why is the BBC clarifying what country Manchester is in but omitting where Tennessee is? Very strange for a British publication.
Is there anywhere in this thread where there is actual info and not just people complaining about and taking shots at Elon Musk because they dont like him or his politics?
This is completely unsurprising. I wrote a handful of small bots for a subreddit I helped with for a few years. Had all this API stuff gone down back then I’d have shut down my stuff as well. I spent a couple hundred dollars over those years on services and servers to help with that sub and I wouldn’t change it looking back but I also would never do that for something on Reddit again given how their CEO has behaved.

This is what people were warning about. On top of moderators walking away, Reddit is going to experience a “brain drain” of bot developers and developers who make tools for Reddit. Those people might not be influencers/content creators themselves but their work empowers that group.

I’m going to really miss Reddit and what it was. Other than Google results, Reddit died for me along with Apollo.
> Every person in power is told he's wrong every day, all day, by most everyone.

Wait, what? That's a ridiculous assertion, even taken as hyperbole. A huge percentage of people in power surround themselves with "yes-men", and are allergic to (even constructive) criticism, let alone direct disagreement.
> Anarchists have yet to demonstrate that they can build a robust society grounded in their theories

Fwiw, Anarchists use the analogy of nations having anarchist relationships with other nations.
> where you can tell the reviewer knows what they're talking about

I do not believe this is possible. Sure, you can tell if the reviewer thinks he knows what he is talking about, and that some internet people agree with him, but you cannot judge whether he is really correct unless you are already a subject matter expert.
In the first 48 hours of the Afghanistan war, a tomahawk was launched, on average, every 12 seconds. To pivot back to near peer threats like china, the US Marine Corps now has a ground based tomahawk launcher[1] they can setup on small islands. Also, the US has a crapload more stealth aircraft than the Russians and the maintenance is actually performed on them.

It's certainly a problem! But the only thing we can really do about it is pass laws.
