PRC already assumes mainland strikes, and TBH this has been default assumption for any US adversaries because US has projection capabilities and therefore homeland attacks must be accounted for. US warplanners and politicians haven't been shy about talking up striking PRC mainland, whether they seriously believe so, or whether it's all security theatre to create security delimma for PRC. Never the less, it's baked into the consideration for PRC - what hasn't been considered by US planners and populus are substantial CONUS attacks, because up until now geography has shielded US, but long range strikes / advanced rocketry makes it possible, and adversaries will match escalation when they can. It's only up until recently, US adversaries technically couldn't strike CONUS even if they wanted to, barring desperate propaganda measures like fugo balloons. And it makes escalatory sense since so much of US power/influence depends on CONUS serenity. A world where CONUS is vunerable is a world where others forced to "derisk" from US and reevaluate viability of US security commitment.

As for allied ports and rear support, US basing that enables operations against PRC in theatre, which basically US force structure requires at this point (hence all the wargames trying to convince JP to distributed basing), is IMO even more forgone. Various US partners signalled they wouldn't directly contribute to TW war but will provide rear support, but that's enabling US war regardless, so very likely they're going to get glassed. PRC systems confrontation and system destruction warfare is structured around destroying the softer/easier targets like support ships, tankers, ISR infra etc. Hitting them is doctrine. And ultimately, it's in PRC's long term interest to destroy as much US forward presence as possible, because that's historically how outside hegemons get kicked out, through sufficient force to demonstrate their strategic posture is no longer viable. And US having decades of build up abroad has more dependencies and more to lose if their security architecture becomes unsustainable.

As for unsupported carrier operations, IMO if you consider the sorties numbers their effects are close to negligible. Boat might be nuke powered, but there's only enough supplies (fuel/ordnance) for low hundreds of sorties, 50%+ of which will be buddy tanking / support due to how far PRC A2D2 has pushed standoff range, which leaves a even lower 100s of actual hitters. Assuming no interceptions. Barely enough to dent the 100,000s of targets from mainland. It's not that US CVGs are weak, just PRC operates on another scale, more targets, more concrete, more counter measures etc. Without constant replenishment carriers become single deployment assets with limited use and cost:vunerablity ratio not in their favour. And even then nuke propulsion need to return to dock, where they can be promptly hit with global strike.
The one that only worked on DOS, right?
Once upon a time I owned a little black box that would simulate enough of a phone system that you could plug two computers' modems into it and computer A would get a dial tone and computer B would get a ring.

It was great for developing and testing dialup-based software without having to tie up real phone lines.

Looking at how much the cost of foundries with newer technology is increasing with each generation I really don't see the supply outpacing demand. AI/NLP has just started to rise out of trough of disillusionment and I feel the demand is going to pick up a lot.
It would be even more bonkers if government could regulate without any restrictions.

Can California demand that a restaurant provides daily report on how often each employee washes their hands and fine them $15k per day if they don't or provide incorrect information?

Per your simplistic argument it would be bonkers if California could create such law. It's a mere reporting of its relevant business activity.

To me it would be bonkers if California could create such onerous regulation.

In law analogies only get you so far. I'm pretty sure that things like food labeling were challenged in courts and were found to not violate 1st amendment but the onerous requirements California tries to impose here are not even close to use them as some kind of precedent.
Fortunately many smart folks can anticipate major systemic issues that threaten to create exponential and devastating societal harms, and start working on them as early as possible.

What's the threshold between the AI input and my input that moves it from copyrightable to not? We can automate a lot of those things an artist did on a photo, does that make it not copyrightable (that's a long word, let's use CR)).

We kind of already have automated image-processing today, where does it change from cr to not-cr. I can take creative photos and then edit them and I can own the the copyright. If I took my photo and used automated improvement tools (like in google photo), I think it's still copyrightable. Now I take my automated outdoor camera at my house and take pictures of things, then I put them through google photos in my automated image pipeline, I guess they are copyrightable?

Then I use those photos as input into a non-copyrightable-by-definition system like midjourney or whatever, now the output is not copyrightable. Seems pretty arbitrary. If an artist creates an artistic work (lets say it is a mirror of people), it's cr. If I as a software engineer create software, that software is cr. But the output of the cr is not cr?
> Imagine one at sea.

One need not imagine such things. It took a week for the Freemantle Highway car carrier to stop burning, something 90% of HN denizens are blissfully unaware of due to narrative blindness, and only about 15% of its cargo was electric.

While a burning electric fishing vessel won't do well, understand that these operations are already fraught with risk and regularly experience minor disasters. The small operations are borderline piratic and the big operations are highly lucrative. It is unlikely that they will forgo whatever benefits they imagine due to some unquantified fire risk.

Many of them have been upgraded. In the US, we've replaced HOST (the old ATC backend system) with ERAM (the modern replacement) as of 2015.

However, you have to remember this is a global problem. You need to maintain 100% backwards compatibility with every country on the planet. So even if you upgrade your country's systems to something modern, you still have to support old analog communication links and industry standard data formats.
I think Apple has the same problems with iPads. True, I did buy a new M1 iPad Pro two years ago and I love it (16G memory, 1TB “disk”), but when I travel like I am doing now I travel with an almost five year old small iPad Pro - this old piece of hardware really does most of what I need, including light duty programming on a VPS via mosh/ssh.

Come to think of it, my Apple Watch is about five years old and still does everything I need.

Apple is transitioning to a partially services company, which is a good move. Apple gets about $45/month from my family.

EDIT: I also usually get at least four years service from Mac laptops, and even longer for two really old ones that run Linux.

> It is beyond me how people can deny post viral syndromes.

If there’s anything the mass death and injury of COVID have taught me, it’s that there is pretty much no level of harm that can’t be justified with appeals to “they deserve it because X”, with X being whatever quality or characteristic allows someone to rationalize away the fundamentally random and widespread harm as being limited to an out-group. This should’ve been obvious to everyone from the HIV/AIDS crisis, but it’s bluntly apparent now.

> it's a hard case to make that any AI-generated imagery lacks sufficient human input

The test is not "input", but "authorship". If you commissioned some art from an artist, you would have input on what they make but the artist would be the author and copyright holder of their work.

Its hard for me to accept that the prompter "authored" the output of an LLM. The output of the LLM was entirely generated and authored by the LLM. It did so at your command, but that doesn't count as authorship.

This way you dont have to wrap by hand, and any time Apple releases a new API or makes a change you push a button and have a new wraper. Writing a wrapper also requires someone who knows Objective C.

There are obviously things that could be refined, but for a first release it has proven to be very effective in production.
CISA warns govt agencies to secure iPhones against spyware attacks
I remember when VoIP ATAs first came out that one of the cardinal rules was not to use them with dial-up modems, since the codecs used didn't do well with the encoding schemes used a 33.6kbps and 56kbps.

What has changed since then that makes this work now? (Are networks fast enough that ATA just send PCM now?)
I bet I can create a machine that uses those 10 cans of paint to do computations. That's all a computer is, really. Those 10 cans of paint swung by an artist are a creative endeavor, but my output as a software engineer with the 10 cans of paint is not? Seems arbitrary and unfair and probably shouldn't stand careful legal scrutiny.

If it is actually in defence of democracy sure. I have lived in nations with a press council before and the press quality was better than in the ones without one.

In the end the only true defence are people that want to uphold democracy. If you have them, laws can be phrased as badly as you like, if you don't, then they can be phrased as well as you like, they will "only" buy you time.

If your gov. makes bad laws, don't elect them next time. And if your only defence of the freedom of the press is to make coroporations people (but only if it benefits them), those are bad laws.
> it's the same as bind, plus an optional conversion at the end.

The mapcat transducer (flatMap in other languages) is equivalent to bind. The “optional conversion at the end” would defeat the whole point of transducers because it would force you to materialize an intermediate sequence before building up the result. The result type is a superset of monads, I’m fairly sure: it’s anything that can be the result of a two argument function with the signature `a -> b -> a`: there’s nothing in theory preventing using a transducer to sum up a list of integers.
Everyone was doing unethical experiments, luckily in the USA they passed the National Research Act of 1974 to make sure studies were done ethically. This study was not ethical, people that were experimented on here are a protected class. This study is clearly abuse. Crazy to think that that it was only 1974, which isn't that long ago.

My girlfriend's sister suffers from Long Covid for going on 2yrs now.

Some of the problems she had early on is that most doctors wrote her off as either lying or anxiety. More than one ER doc said there's no way that Covid could ever cause lasting symptoms other than lung damage, which she didn't have, so it's likely just anxiety. There was one DO she saw, during an admit for tachycardia, who said that he believed that she has a post-viral syndrome and knew of others with other post-Covid issues. The problem would be trying to convince his colleagues to believe it would be an uphill battle, so he hoped it was temporary for her. I know things have changed now but some doctors can be extremely arrogant and dismissive of patients (female patients more than male).
And fat; French cuisine in particular involves the liberal use of butter, especially in sauces. "Mounting" a sauce amounts to stirring in a big knob of butter at the end. Bearnaise sauce for steaks is about 70% butter.

It will be extremely helpful to look at some examples of good resumes or some advice on how I can draft such sentences.

> The US was so complacent in their idea that nobody would ever attack them

I don't think that's true. There was an attempt to bring down the WTC in 1993 after all!

Authorities were taken by surprise by the method of attack. Hardly surprising since it hadn't been done before. Up until that point a hijacked flight almost always meant a ransom attempt, so you didn't shoot the plane down, you got them to land and began negotiations.

It's really easy to look back in hindsight and say authorities should have done X but there really was a great deal of uncertainty. It's not even clear what could have been done about the second plane.
> That is, if you have "A implies B, and B implies C, and C implies D, then A implies D". The problem is that in "the real world" there are enough slight differences at each step that most people feel that A does not imply D.

So you just got it wrong and A does not imply D. Obviously logic applies to the world outside math and computer science.

This is by no means settled legally either.
To me the biggest thing I see happening is that having multiple sims becomes the norm. Just like I have multiple credit cards in my wallet on different networks, I’ll probably have multiple network options and brands in my “sim card wallet”. Especially for traveling. But also attending a local football game and want the best mmWave network access? Make sure you’ve got the right sim in your wallet.

Can also see this going the way of credit card rewards programs and linking service discounts to sim subscription for gaming and media streaming and maybe more.
That's fair! Makes sense.

From my vantage, I would ask: What are 1-3 main advantage(s) and/or disadvantage(s) has this choice had (or do you expect it to have) on your project?

"Any impact" ... taken literally, it is a set of potentially infinite items, due to the term "any". (as far as I can understand it).

any. "used to refer to one or some of a thing or number of things, no matter how much or how many.
Control.

When i was working with the emerging (at the time) nfc technology it was evident it was all about control: the sim card usually holds the secure element, and it’s really a war between carriers, os providers and phone manufacturers.

Who controls the secure element controls another big share of the user’s life.
> Rust has a very open development approach where people with many different experiences can share their wisdom

Interesting take, but as someone that drifted away from Rust with the publication of the linked blog post, and wrote their last meaningful code in the language a year later, it does not describe my experience. YMMV, but compared to other languages, I'd say as a first approximation that they had no interest in comments from outside the inner circle.
I think the point is that this issue is occurring because of bad conventions and api designs that are pervasive in one area of the python community. It seems a bit like the tail wagging the dog to change the design and implementation of the language for the singular purpose of guarding against confusing import statements that most of the community would recommend not to use in the first place.

Here’s the feature I want out of (an evolution of) eSIMs replacing physical SIMs.

I am a Verizon customer (US). Various other providers have apparently better deals (eg T-Mobile), but I have no way to assess how coverage would be impacted for my specific scenarios.

Why can’t T-Mobile issue me a free “advertising” eSIM that doesn’t actually provide service (or provides a ridiculously small amount), but allows me to look at what reception my existing phone (with all its limitations on bands) would have if I were a t-mobile customer? Why can’t an app that I choose to give location permissions to gather that info, and the Verizon connection info, over time and space and show me a map of where things would be better or worse?

Why can’t the same system provide just enough connectivity that I can slip them a $20 for a week’s service or whatever if I find myself in a spot where their coverage is better than Verizon’s?
Well sure, that's about the only place, if you don't mind the subscription.

The flip side though is that so many Apple Arcade titles are also available on Switch. Even ones that Apple showed in their presentations. You can also actually buy them without a subscription.

I disagree with the copyright office. I think my creative output as an engineer is not necessarily less creative or original than an artist. We are making an arbitrary distinction here. Artists make devices, machines sometimes. Is the output of those machines not copyrightable? I bet it is.
I forget the exact quote but the thing I've seen making the rounds sums it up pretty well: Computers were supposed to do the work so people could make art and write poetry. Now the computers are making art and writing poetry and I still have to have a job.

In another life I'd love to do voice over work. (I even have a face for radio!) But, instead, technology is being used to avoid even having humans do that type of work. Sure, today it's PG, but they're definitely doing this with an eye to replacing actual voiceover actors.

Every advance in AI is "how can we replace people and save money?" and not "how can people have better lives and work less?" And it's going to continue until it's "what the fuck do we do with all these jobless people who've been replaced?"
