This article was more about open the value of open access when publishing research being 15% more likely to be cited on Wikipedia. The AI part was somewhat weak as it did not compare against ChatGPT.
How does one even go about testing such a thing? Comparing it to Wikipedia articles? Even if it is factual does it spew the interpretations present in most Wikipedia articles?
One of the reasons is there are much more F-16s both in number of units and consequently support ( of all kinds ) and know-how from many operator countries.

Unfortunately the Gripen is the plane everyone talks and loves but "nobody" buys them. The Rafale is in a similar situation. AFAIK there are many minor reasons but the main one is: "Nobody got fired for buying IBM", aka the F-16, it's all fine and good, NATO, etc, etc, but America has A LOT of pull when someone wants to buy planes, they tend to be "persuasive"..
Thanks, I logged the problem here: https://github.com/lucavallin/first-issue/issues/133.

You would need some kind of mapping on what "documentation" maps to what kind of business. If I handed you a bunch of receipts and invoices ... would you know what my business was and how to market it?
Aside but: The kerning (?) used in that letter is absolutely awful.
Weird because the USA top level domain is supposed to be .us, with that being one of the first country code top level domains.

> But I cant help feeling nuclear fission is as far from an economically viable, reproducible, sustainable product as fusion is.

I don't think we're operating from the same base set of facts. Fission is a reality now. Entire countries rely on it for their entire grid, safely and reliably. TFA was just saying everyone could, and I agree. It's not a transition of kind, but of degree, which is much easier.

This is not to say solar and wind have to place (which triggers a different kind of antibodies), just that fission does too.
> Be honest how productive are you? You probably waste more time during your workday than you do work. Not every day, you might even have very productive weeks, but think over a year how many hours you "waste

Lol. Except for the odd day a month, I have worked every single day for the last 2 years (July 15 2021, when I started an internship at FB). I'm in a PhD program and I have a 20-30 hour/week job during the academic year and full-time internships during summers.

What is your current path? (Besides it being a detour...)
Try https://www.iforgeiron.com/
Nope, you install an OLE control on the system that wants to communicate, then tell the SCADA/etc application to use it, and the control talks vendor-specific protocol.

Newer OPC-UA capable devices could arguably run like that (definitely enough power, even without going for the ones that have full Linux system with Docker), but those tend to run OPC-UA instead which is way more capable and interoperable.
From my personal viewpoint the most beneficial things we did:

1. mostly pair programming, so we all knew the current state of the codebase and the path forward

2. When we didn't understand something, we wrote a separate small prototype of that feature / library / reference to teach ourselves how it worked. ( async, monad transformers, lenses, many reflex features )

3. We paid Obsidian for a one hour a week meeting to help us when we couldn't figure it out by ourselves. ( https://obsidian.systems/ )

4. nix for cross compilation and build / dev automation

5. Several hours a week of explicit teaching each other what we knew. This might should go first in the list, as the culture of being open and teaching was a massive benefit. We had one hour a week where the nixpert taught nix, one hour a week where I taught beginning Haskell, another hour a week where I taught Advanced Haskell (things I was learning that might help). We also had two hours a week where we all got together and worked on the stickiest problem along the path to shipping.

Most software dev jobs I've had want me to "do the thing" and have zero time left over for teaching / training others. I wanted to take the opposite approach and this paid off far more than my already wild hopes.

What I was trying to get at is that gravity may not even be quantized. The insistence that it act like the other three fundamental forces is a holdover from earlier interpretations of physics but in retrospect there's still no solid reason to assume it has to be quantum at all.
Easy: avaiability, in every sense. There are many, many more F-16 in service to draw from. As are more operators, making training easier. And maitennace, everything from spqres to sites to people, is much easier to come by at scale for F-16s.

All of the above under the caveat of needing it now.

I think minimaps can also be great at improving on the 'preview' function of the classic scrollbar they iterate on. A scrollbar can tell me how long a page is and, therefore, give me an idea of whether I want to continue reading or not. But a minimap can help to differentiate between the "short article followed by pages of comments I can ignore" case and the "article far too long to even bother with" one.

Reimplement the protocols, talking with C++ is more painful than implementing complete CORBA or COM or DCOM.

For a bit of reference - When I was younger and more optimistic (actually maniacal phase in depression...) I figured I'd implement a C++ interop that didn't use a wrapper in C.

I think I stopped when I got a waking nightmare starring GCC's IA-64 ABI vtable layout after a night of digging deep in the shittiness that is C++ exception model and its handling in IA-64 ABI.

Just tried today to switch from Vim to Neovim as my EDITOR when I work over SSH (I use VS Code otherwise, I know about its SSH capabilities but don’t use them to edit just one file).

Result: had to add a PPA on my Ubuntu server (not ideal but OK), most plugins require nvim 0.8+. Switched to the unstable PPA (because the stable PPA ships 0.7), turns out it doesn’t ship the latest release but instead a nightly dev build.

While editing Lua configs of Neovim, I tried to use ‘micro’ just for fun.

Result: my new EDITOR and GIT_EDITOR (that I previously set for +startinsert) are now set to ‘micro’. Alt+/ for commenting code, sane shortcuts, and code highlighting cover 90% of my needs.
Huh, I wonder what this sort of thing is about then:

The US federal budget deficit for the month of June was $228 billion. Money is being spent and the money printer is running no problem. The administration clearly does not view this as an important issue.
Lots of examples. 'Thorsons Introductory Guide to Medical Herbalism' is, for example, both required reading for many modern medical degrees and a collection of hundreds (of documented; more realistically, thousands) of years of the medical practice of herbalism.

And if you want some anecdata, I've used plenty of preparations from that text for nausea, fever, menstrual cramps (not mine, clearly), poor clotting, sinus congestion, and likely some things that are slipping my mind.

Plants are where we get a lot of medicines from, and while modern pharmaceutical companies may prefer that information not get spread around (it's basically the whole reason we don't have a widespread practice of western medical herbalism in the US), but the fact remains that if you know how to get the medicine out of the plant, it's still totally possible to do so.
> It means somehow intersecting 'play' with 'work', but as many people say: 'work is something people don't do voluntarily'.

I don't think that's true. Lots of work can be fun and satisfying as well. I think the distinction between work and play is more about purpose. Work has a purpose, a specific goal that we're working towards, and play does not.

The history lesson is very much appreciated. I didn't know most of those facts about Prohibition.

I agree with everything you said about morality. There is no real cure for the "disease"; critical thinking is lacking among the populace but even with it, people will still hold various moralities. I think the government should enforce a few minimal, overarching rights and households and companies can impose additional restrictions (idea may need refinement). There is no universal morality, so I say we should provide maximal freedom within reason. That would at least be a subset of many people's moralities. At the end of the day I'd rather have some government than none.

I appreciated the pro/con linked because I could see why other people held the positions they did and because I found a perspective that particularly resonated with my morality. Understanding where other people are coming from is useful even if they have significantly different moralities, I think.
> People talk about how staying active helps stave off dementia, but what does this actually do?

IIRC -- based on Bill Bryon's "The Body" -- there some good evidence that this is a result of bone density, as bones produce hormones that may be important in whether Alzheimer's develops. There's been some fairly recent research in this area.

It's important to note that I don't believe any of the available research establishes a causal link one way or the other, so it's possible that Alzheimer's causes a loss of bone density or that they're both caused by an underlying shared factor; but bone density is correlated with dementia!

Reading Well
I leave it on. It acts as a larger scrollbar when I use the mouse/trackpad/whatever pointing device to scroll. Operating systems these days are all about hiding the scrollbar and/or making it as small as possible. The minimap not only solves that issue, but also gives a bit of a visual representation of the file contents. Sure, you can't read the text, but if you've worked with a file long enough, you know exactly what you are looking at.
Yeah we had a pretty high level of fraud come in from them. They really ought to have better controls on it as its well known that carders test cards by making hotel and STR bookings.
Society and the rules that hold it together is built on mutual trust and cooperation. In order for it to work people need to feel that those rules and social constructs are fair and reasonable. Morality in turn depend on people feeling that rules and social constructs are fair and reasonable.

Not paying taxes is wrong and theft. Peoples willingness to pay taxes depend on how much trust they have in government. A government that is general corrupt, do not represent the people, will result in people seeing tax collecting as wrong and theft. Not paying taxes is thus morally right and the self defense. The whole definition of right and wrong, theft, morality in general, depend on trust and the social constructs. One can not discuss morality of choice without talking about morality,

Viewing theft from a grocery shop as morally good necessitate that a person view the existence of the shop to exist outside of the social bonds and constructs of society. A modern approach to crime reduction is to increase the social support and social connections for people in high crime areas (the social part of social economic status). As is often found, harsher punishment for crime do not often reduce crime, which is partially explained by the social economic status model.

Viewing copyright violations are morally good only necessitate that a person view the current implementation of copyright to exist outside of the social bonds and constructs of society. I see maximalists of copyright as to be extremists that lives way outside of social norms. That those maximalists happen to have deep enough pockets to bribe politicians, and politicians are morally bankrupt to accept the bribes, is just that. Somewhat it is actually a simple moral choice, and those choices were wrong and made by people who should have known better.
It's harder to fake the paper part (non-rfid ones just use a barcode or text reader). That's the only read difference between older/rfid ones. They're all basically the same as shop barcodes: the customs guy scans it, then his computer looks you up in some DB. You could be looked up just as quickly by doing name/nationality/dob etc. Or your smartphone. But people like paperwork...

Lol, the west doesn't do herbalism because if it works, we just call it medicine.

And yet there are actually whingy babies and, and no not all developers were once a whingy baby, in fact only the shit end of the bell curve ever were. Most people I even know at all never were, because it's not an automatic part of merely being new.

There is no value in catering to them, since that generally requires blunt rather than sharp tools, and everyone else requires sharp tools to get actual work done. They can play with their toys, but they are toys thoight up by people who care about the wrong things. Anyone else should ignore and disregard them and their ignorant ideas.

Make is probably not the final evolution of a build sysyem for eternity, merely the arguments given for python of all the ridiculous possibilities, have all been garbage so far.

Now if a proposition included some sort of canonical flavor of python (or whatever language) that can be counted on to:

- exist on any system, and "any system" does not mean "any linux intall from today forward"

- could at least be added to any system if not already, ie, plain c source that compiles even on obscure old systems, or built out of something else equally ubiquitous like shell or awk.

- single simple binary

- all features included (no libraries of plugins and modules)

- spec advances only slowly and thoughtufully and without breaking compatibility

Make already exists, meets all of these points, and provides the means to express complex jobs or simple jobs without any special built-in magic support for any one language or framework of the month, especially not at the expense of any others.

Although, even a mythical "canonical python subset" would be a strange thing to propose with it's meaninful whitespace, when one of the main complaints about make is the tabs.
It might not necessarily be cheaper but people have more generational wealth due hsitorically much higher home ownership rates. e.g. even Italians are much wealthier per capita than Germans. If we look at the median of course (the mean is comparable since inequality is much higher in Germany). Germans are just gennerally pretty poor and clooser to Greece or many east European countries than to France or Belgium.

The Belgians on the other hand are the 4th richest people in the world, and also Belgium has one of the lowest levels of wealth inequality. So it's much easier to inherit a home or at least enough cash for a downpayment.
Sweden was publicly clear they weren't going to make the Gripen available to Ukraine, the planes exist in small enough quantities that some new manufacturing would need to happen in order for any of its operators to swap their existing inventory out and give it to Ukraine (not impossible in the long run since there is a new variant that some countries might want to acquire someday, but not happening in the short term), and - this is the big one - there are roughly twenty times as many F-16s in service worldwide as there are Gripens.

Everything that's commonly said about the Gripen performing admirably in rugged conditions and the F-16 being particularly vulnerable to foreign object damage is certainly true, but Ukraine would happily throw people and resources at the problem of maintaining intact and clean runways.

You can also track the path of the boat, to figure out which port it came from and where it went afterwards. You can also correlate it with AIS, a mandatory tracking signal for ships (used for collision avoidance etc). Of course the ship could have turned it off, but if I owned a bunch of spy satellites I would pay very special attention to any ship that appears on satellite images but doesn't have a corresponding AIS beacon.

Of course unless you are tracking a submarine back to a submarine base all of this won't tell you exactly who it was. Any state actor can just rent a fishing ship and deploy a remote controlled submarine from it. That's where more traditional information gathering comes in.

Modded down for a good reason.

1. The client states weren't client states. They were de-facto annexed polities with centuries of distinct characteristics. After Soviet Union fell these countries could resume their legitimate existence.

2. Russia has always been an imperialistic, genocidal and brutal country, incapable of creating anything of lasting value. A country on the Russia's border has no reason to be categorized under "russian dominion".

Legitimate states have unalienable right under international law to guide their own path, regardless who their neighbours are.

If your neighbour is Russia, you really want to ally with a larger party.

"Who was it pushed NATO right up against Russia's border."

Nobody PUSHED NATO. This is what is wrong about the posting above. The CCE countries, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, knew very wall what Russia was and that it had not changed.

They wanted to join NATO exactly because they knew Russia would one day again attempt to annex them.

Unless Estonia was in NATO, Russian armors might very well be now in Tallinn.
