Moltke's thesis was that military strategy had to be understood as a system of options, since it was possible to plan only the beginning of a military operation. As a result, he considered the main task of military leaders to consist in the extensive preparation of all possible outcomes.[3] His thesis can be summed up by two statements, one famous and one less so, translated into English as "No plan of operations extends with certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy's main strength" (or "no plan survives contact with the enemy") and "Strategy is a system of expedients".[18][8] Right before the Austro-Prussian War, Moltke was promoted to General of the Infantry.[8]
> I have the suspicion that the green "V" or whatever symbols used to show that a dish is vegetarian or vegan actually disincentives non-vegetarians from choosing the labelled dishes

It does that with me. While I'm not a vegetarian, I do eat very little meat. Not intentionally, it's just how I naturally prefer to eat. So I don't avoid any dishes just because they happen to not have meat in them.

However, when items carry a special label like that on menus, I do tend to overlook them because in a lot (certainly not all) of restaurants, there's a real difference between those dishes and dishes that happen to not include meat. The ones being marketed as vegetarian/vegan are often simply not very good.

> Instead, I would also offer a vegetarian version that only included the vegetarian dishes for whomever might want it.

I agree, this seems like a better way to go.

The last time it was in the news I think naysayers listed the main caveat with stellerators as something along the lines of very low plasma density compared to tokamaks, which makes them unable to get anywhere close to the energy break even point.

The person who approached Swedish police never claimed rape. She was worried that he may have had HIV and didn't use a condom and wanted to know if she had any legal recourse to force him to undergo an HIV test. Her testimony was changed after the fact by Swedish police without her knowledge or consent.

Ha, so you're right. That's what I get for trusting AI to answer a question.

That figure absurd in the context of an open office floorplan, and I suspect they're doing some "damned lies" statistics to arrive at it, such as amortizing the common area across the occupancy. I think every open office floorplan I've been in has had 4' desks. The next desk is flush against mine, and there was someone sitting directly behind me. At best, that's 16 sq ft. Generously 20. I have no idea how you arrive at ~150 sq. ft.

I remember seeing an interview and I thought how creepy he came across.
being in over his head while being "manipulated by an evil ex" still sound pretty rational. pretty desperate, but not too inconsistent at least.
Right? Much like a "trophy wife", I guess. Come looks at this artificial hottie I'm dating because it makes me feel special.
Is the feeling right more or less often than you expect?
It's probably both. Since you want to obscure it from the end user, you can also afford to be lazy and have sloppy implementation.
It's a meme. On WallStreetBets, /u/ControlTheNarrative found a "trick" to borrow $50k from Robinhood and lost it all on a dumb bet while making a big display of being rational ("I repeat this until I am sufficiently leveraged for my Personal Risk Tolerance.") I am making a comparison to SBF, who found a "trick" to borrow almost a million times as much from investors and depositors and lost it all on a dumb bet while making a big display of being rational.

Back during the Iraq war the video feeds from drones and such were not encrypted, and people published some as a result. IIRC it was because there was not enough capacity on military sats, and the commercial sats used for this didn't have the necessary functionality. That's not to say that command and control functions were unauthenticated and unencrypted. But I suspect that older satellites -both American as well as not-American- are vulnerable, especially commercial ones predating modern cryptography, and since it takes a long time for modernity to filter through to specialized kit like satellites, I suspect that commercial satellites from before 2010 are generally vulnerable. American military satellites, I suspect, have been fairly secure for longer, though I have no specific knowledge, only an expectation that the NSA would have done their part to protect American assets in space.

I'm working on something right now with the Python ORM SQLAlchemy. It turns out that getting it to use RETURNING with INSERT is not trivial and requires you to set the non-obvious option `expire_on_commit=False`, which doesn't guarantee use of RETURNING, but is supposed to use it if your db driver and database happen to support it and the ORM happens to support it for that particular combination of driver and database. And there's no API to actually inspect the generated SQL even though it's emitted in the logs, so there's no way to enforce the use of RETURNING in your test suite without capturing and scraping your own logs (which fortunately is very easy within the Pytest framework).

I like ORMs but this is just frustratingly complicated on so many levels. I also understand that SQLAlchemy is an enormous library and not everything will be easy. But I think this case exemplifies the trade-offs involved with using an ORM.

(Yes I am aware that using insert() itself in Core does what I want, I'm talking about .add()-ing an ORM object to an AsyncSession).
It's not really that Google is ignoring the standards process. It's that the process involves a feature-flagged shipped implementation before it can be a part of the standard.

The only way for FLoC to become a standard is for them to do exactly what they're doing now - opt in/feature-flagged evaluation.

Of course, Google could continue to ignore the standards process and just make this generally available in their browser even if it doesn't become a standard.
Remarkable generosity? Eh...to me that would imply giving to him this or that.

If literally describing how SBF's mind seems to work is "giving", then I have to say...

...damn you must judge people so hard. :D
> Just picking a nit here, but IIRC Assange was not arrested by UK authorities to be extradited to the US

Ok, fair. My recollection was that they did both at about the same time, though subsequent focus on the (clearly motivated) US extradition rather overshadow the Swedish issues (which don't look politically motivated to me; though obviously that's what they want me to think :P).

That the UK didn't bother to tell Sweden is even more egregious given what you say.
Thanks I think this is a really interesting way to look at things.

What is the market for "wide" applications though? It seems like any particular business can only really support one or two of them, for some that will be SAP and for others it might be Salesforce (if they don't need much ERP), or (as you mentioned) some giant semi homebrewed Oracle thing.

Usually there is a legacy system which is failing but still runs the business, and a "next gen" system which is not ready yet (and might never be, because it only supports a small number of use cases from the old software and even with an army of BAs it's difficult to spec out all the things the old software is actually doing with any accuracy).

Or am I not quite getting the idea?
I think we've lost this battle. "Troll" means roughly "person who behaves badly". The word has become useless.

> I'm not sure that the author, or the company executives, know what a sunk cost is. Just to clarify, since there is a younger generation on HN now, 'sunk cost' is something you have spent money on that you can't get back.

Depending on how long your office lease runs - and many run 5-10 years - it effectively is sunk cost because, short of a bankruptcy, you can't get out of that super expensive office space that's now sitting 80%+ empty if you don't find some other sucker willing to sublet from you. Best case is you find someone with a sublease, but with a heavy discount so all you're getting from that is a bit lower running cost.

Aside from machine-guns made after 1986 and possibly nukes, you can own any weapon in most states. The things you mentioned are considered Destructive Devices and require payment of a $200 tax stamp.

Sure. If the government just preemptively nukes all American cities and towns then so be it. But to say that civilian firearm possession cannot slow, stop, or impede a tyrannical government is wrong.

I've wanted to use nix for a very long time, but every time I devote a few hours to using it, some intractable issue always stops me. Years ago it was a lack of any support for shells other than bash and zsh. I've been using fish for over a decade.

I'm sure that's been fixed, but the issue for attempting to use it again is that something else will come up. I'm not expecting it to work perfectly, but I'd prefer the bugs be small, not showstoppers.

I love the idea, having everything as config layers, but still think the process needs more iteration. Frankly, I like guix more, in theory anyways, but haven't given it a chance. Maybe it's choice paralysis, and I need to just rip that bandaid off one of these days
They should also list the applied tax benefits stemming from this generosity.
How are you going to go in and alter the ISA of that production (x86?) system to determine the best/cheapest way to increase security in future systems?

You can look for vulnerabilities in those production system, sure, and try to find work-arounds, but that's kind of short term tactics not fundamental research.

Note that "MAID" refers to medically-assisted death (euthanasia). The hospital was not suggesting the suicidal patient hire a housemaid.

That's basically the biggest thing I'm missing. I think there's still a few FD redirection tricks that I use occasionally in zsh that are also missing (and are hard to hack in due to lack of job control).
Frankly, this should be obvious to anyone who's ever been on an American university campus.

I don't really agree. Topics are materially different from FLoC. Especially in the way of moving it from a shady background activity into something the user can interact with.

Also, nobody really gives a shit about it. WEI could break adblockers and that would be a huge issue.

>> “[T]he average user must recognize that YouTube content, unlike media content on other websites, cannot be downloaded with a simple right-click and must be aware that this is achieved using technology on YouTube and that youtube-dl ‘overrides’ this protection. It is therefore to be assumed that the average user acts in bad faith,” the Hamburg Court wrote.

This argument seems ass-backwards. Why is it not YouTube which acts in bad faith by not providing the means for users to download videos in the first place?

I can see why Sam Altman believes iris scans are the future, it's definitely much more cumbersome to 'sell off' your iris. Especially if it needs to be rescanned on a daily basis or sooner.
The problem I have with their eventual solution is that they only optimized their queries AFTER they had upgraded their instance to the largest config available.

They couldn't upgrade their config with a few clicks in the admin console anymore (I'm guessing what's involved here) so now they had to use actual grey matter to fix their capacity problem. Maybe if they had spent more time optimizing specific parts of their code, they wouldn't even need such a large config instance.

Here's the quote from the [actual whitepaper](https://envoy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Workplace_Data_...) from Envoy that this article references:

> 80% of executives say they would have approached their company’s return-to-office strategy differently if they had access to workplace data to inform their decision-making.

Envoy's not exactly an unbiased source here, since they sell software to collect this data.
It's a slight tangent, but in the general realm of division being complicated, divide by zero is a longstanding annoyance. Does anyone know (or can refer to) a reasonable definition of +,-,*,/,% (in their usual meanings) on rational numbers such that A op B always evaluates to a rational?

A/1 divide 0/1 being stored as 1/0 and then propagated around seems reasonable but I keep putting off the bookwork of finding out what arithmetic relations still hold at that point. I think one loses multiply by zero folding to zero, for example A * 0 is now only 0 for A known to have non-zero denominator.

Context is a language with arbitrary precision rationals as the number type, and all I'm really looking for is a way to declare that the type of division is a rational for any rational arguments. Searching for this mostly turns up results on the naturals or integers which I'm not particularly interested in.

Long shot but worth asking. Thanks

One of the main problems has been with communism as it has been practiced. Not only does it take a lot of buy-in and not everyone feels communal, but the despotism that it has enabled has been really quite something.

Just as "capitalism" is a set of experiments with failures and successes, "communism" might be. "Socialism" that shares the decision-making around is probably the better model.
Right. So the US defying the UN matters in terms of real-world effect, but the UN defying the US doesn't.

In the analogy here, wouldn't the W3C be the UN defiantly making toothless proclamations that Chrome (the US) can simply ignore? That would be my understanding of it, since "mattering about as much" implies not mattering at all.
IndexedDB's API design is one of the worst I've ever seen (next to the original JS document.cookies "API")

Fortunately, Safari does support OPFS ( https://stackoverflow.com/a/71581910/159145 ) so provided you don't need all of IndexedDB's features and just need an async blob store for large blobs/files/etc (potentially gigabytes and beyond) then OPFS should work for you.
They have 16TB NAS drives for $300 now so if you have decent disposable income just upgrading the drives one by one is probably a decent strategy.
The problem that I've observed is that far too many bosses made their decisions about remote based on emotion, despite the fact that it is incredibly obviously a decision that should be made based on logic.

Not saying that one answer was right or wrong. Just that it has shocked me to hear otherwise smart people using subjective emotional decision making on this topic, when it's so clearly just an economic / incentive decision.
In episode “August 10th, 2023 | Vim Boss”:

1. Vim Boss - the auto-generated description fails to mention the post author is a top Neovim contributor. It is hard to tell who Bram is just from the description. It also said “the deceased iconic software Vim” (Vim is not dead…) The music feels inappropriate.

2. The Future of the Vim Project - “In an exciting movement towards the next stage of Vim project’s evolution”? What is exciting about having to deal with Bram’s death? Why would listeners care about FTP servers and websites? What does “in a paradoxical fusion of continuity and change” mean? A human would have made a segue between the two, but the robot couldn’t.

3. MS Teams channels cannot contain MS-DOS device names - “sailing through the sea of digital collaboration”? Why did it start with buzzword bingo? Why would anyone care about specific numbers re the Teams limitations? What are MSD-OS device names? (Bad pronunciation aside, a human would have provided some examples, considering they’re mentioned in the article title.) The AI summary doesn’t match the post title and what the comments focused on.

4. My Overkill Home Network - what value is there in naming all the random components in the author’s network? That’s a word salad that is difficult to parse and listen to.

The AI butchered four out of ten stories, and it didn’t do a great job of respecting a deceased person (it felt so happy about the changes in Vim). I’d rather not listen to it do world news.
