Here's a back-tingles moment: the SLAM, with its open reactor - sans its H-bombs - is in principle almost exactly H.G. Wells' "Atomic Bombs"[1] from his The World Set Free. Radiation-jetting objects that bounce all over the place, blasting everything.

That novel has a good claim to inventing the nuclear bomb, at least the concept of it. Leó Szilárd, after reading the novel in 1932[2], talked about the possibility of a chain reaction[3] bomb with the BWO, which would later, after a long and predictably political road, lead to the Einstein-Roosevelt letter.

Wells is one of those writers whose nickel-paperback reputation hides what a peerless visionary he was, even as a largely self-educated layman.

[1] His phrasing! "Nothing could have been more obvious to the people of the earlier twentieth century, than the rapidity with which war was becoming impossible ... but they did not see it until the atomic bombs burst in their fumbling hands"

Holy balls, that is still every single bit as relevant today.

[2] 21 years post publish!!

[3] Rather than the "radiant elements" used in Well's atomic bombs. Wells in 1901 had been reading the work of William Ramsay, Ernest Rutherford, and Frederick Soddy. Wells realized that although the decay (of the time) was slow, the total amount was insanely gigantic, converting the entire mass into energy. So he posited a future material that decomposed all at once. If you had a fist-sized hunk of Francium, that you got somehow, you'd get similar effects . . assuming you had a time-freezey casing to keep it from just spontaneously nuking your everything.

Because front end specialists only think about the front end.

The tide is slowly turning though with Next, SvelteKit, Remix, etc. But still these frameworks are basically just rendering HTML and going full on fat client which is overkill for 80% of interactivity in web app but adds a lot of unnecessary complexity.
I would argue that all businesses are lifestyle businesses. Dreaming of a lifestyle that involves 10 houses and a yacht? Become a VC, or join a company backed by one and hope it becomes a unicorn. Astronomical wealth and power are a LIFESTYLE, the same way that dreaming of a modest home, work that you love, and time to spend on meaningful relationships is a lifestyle.

Just try to avoid judging the lifestyles of others.

I thought most perps were parents, or close relatives, in which case the answer is an indecisive 50% yes/no.

But [1] from 1996 says

> There is increasing recognition that incest offenders may abuse children outside as well as inside the home. In a community sample of over 500 self-admitted male sexual offenders, Abel and colleagues(1987) found that 23.3% of men had offended against both family and non family members; 12% had offended exclusively against family members.

I'm guessing that means 65% are non-family, making your point very relevant.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but adoption of "server-side" (aka non-App) Swift by people who weren't already Mac/iOS app developers seems to have been microscopic. Surely the language must be considered a colossal failure in that regard, because the goals espoused in the early years went far beyond just being an Apple person language.

(Or to summarise the situation in another way, it got mercilessly shunned in terms of wider community enthusiasm versus Rust)
These days launching East isn't that important as it used to be at the height of the Space Race. However some 1/5 payload advantage is still interesting, so the factor is definitely taken into account.
You guys. Median income in the USA is about 76k per year (according to https://dqydj.com/average-median-top-household-income-percen...). 230k will quite literally put you in the top 10% of income earners in the USA, and probably much higher elsewhere.

When I was in medical instruments, the large corporation I was with was explicitly pro-regulation precisely because it made entry for others harder.

Not because they thought medical instruments should be regulated for patient safety (though they should). No, as business people, they were focused on the competitive effects.

Hereditary’s one of the few widely-beloved horror films I’ve thought was kinda bad (I watch lots of horror). Most of it was really boring, except the last 15 minutes or so, which were laugh-out-loud hilarious, which I don’t think is what they were going for.
Regarding the point you mentioned about not being able to pass objects via attributes, you can however pass them via properties on the element.

Also as for the state management side of things there is nothing at all stopping you from hooking up whatever state management solution you want. I’ve even seen a bunch of solutions that use the browsers built in event model as well if keeping dependencies to a minimum is your goal.

Finally, the last thing I would suggest is that writing an entire app in vanilla web components is kind of crazy talk in my opinion. For 5kb you can have a super nice developer experience using Lit (https://lit.dev)
I'm probably out. I have the $32/mo Apple Family sub, but with literally every service going up 20-30% over the last year, I just don't see the point. I used to spend about $60-80/mo on various streaming services, now it's closer to $150 and content quality has not improved, if anything it's significantly worsened.

My most common use case here is to then want to hit the API from python, and adjust the params / url etc.

Would love a "copy to python requests" button that

grabs the headers

generates a boilerplate python snippet including the headers and the URL:

import requests
import json

url = '<endpoint>'

headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 ...',
...
}

data = {
"page": 5,
"size": 28
...
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

if response.status_code == 200:
print(response.json())
else:
print(f"Error {response.status_code}: {response.text}")

This sort of purposeful injection of "bad" information has been possible rather cheaply across plenty of platforms that are open to use like this, even before modern generative ai. Some have suffered, clearly, but others have resisted it rather well for years. And they continue to be useful even with the new tech. For instance, how do you think high value targets like Wikipedia continue to resist this sort of behavior?

Perhaps considering that may bring some creative ideas to mind for you and other hackers, other than the pessimism that seems to underlie your take here (it seems not uncommon these days).

I think the problem is more logistical. SpaceX does not launch rockets like other companies do. They build them at the launch site and then roll them out and launch them right next to the factory. If they launch from French Guiana they would have to ship the rockets, there, plus build a facility to make repairs and adjustments. It would just be an incredible headache for them.
It's so amazing how this discussion goes every single time.

> I'm not asking for a lack of fatalities. I'm asking for a lack of hitting stationary vehicle-scale objects on the freeway.

Exactly! You've constructed an impossible gateway to understanding; I either find a statistic to fit exactly your imagined failure mode or... I'm wrong, and you don't need to change your opinion.

I'm, sorry, I truly am, that I don't have a statistic to hand you showing the frequency with which Tesla vehicles with FSD beta hit 1m+ stationary obstacles on high speed roadways. I don't. And I won't, and likely never will.

So, again getting to the point upthread: you're safe. You can't lose this argument framed like that, and I concede that point. I'm just saying that that's not a very serious position to take if you're actually interested in genuine safety using metrics that other people care about.

> Also the freeway fatality rate is about 5.4 per billion miles, not 20.

Not the headline I saw immediately, but sure. That sounds plausible too. The fact that you want to claw back an error factor of 200 by 3.5x is also good evidence that you aren't taking the discussion seriously.
> My main motivation for using ZFS instead of ext4 is that ZFS does data checksumming, whereas ext4 only checksums metadata and the journal, but not data at rest.

BTRFS does data checksumming too, and it's shipped by pretty much every major distro by default. BTRFS doesn't do encryption, but there's LUKS for that. I've been running BTRFS on LUKS for many years without issue.

Curious that he mentions that he doesn't use snapshots. I've recently started using BTRFS snapshots, and started liking them. They are incremental, but provide the entire filesystem at the moment the snapshot was done, down to referencing the same data on disk if nothing was changed.
I always got the feeling that the main purpose of the apple streaming service was creating content for their soon to be released VR headset. It's mostly original content unlike other services that mix in tons of farmed out stuff and there's a pretty big emphasis on sports with the MLS deal and almost getting the pac 12 deal. I'm interested in seeing what they co me up with when they start making VR native stuff shot using the cameras they use for sporting events. Not super surprising that they're raising the price in the lead up to the headset release I think.

No offense, but you're thinking from the JS bubble.

Yes, ultimately you need JS to interact with the DOM but if you look at eg Livewire the orchestration is in the server. I'd be happy to use a similar fullstack solution in JS/TS but afaik it doesn't exist. And it doesn't exist because the JS world is still hung up on full on fat reactive clients which are overkill for the immense majority of use cases.

No you've got it, all of those are correct. Just means that for any A,B and C,D in the space A ∩ B = C ∩ D.

And we generally don't care about the size of the intersection or anything like that, we just care about how many sets there are—100 in your case.

Normal mathematicians don't usually do this but if you like combinatorics it can help to specialize to remove irrelevant details: imagine a set P, where each element of P is a set of k integers. An s-sunflower consists of s lists in P such that if any integer appears on 2 or more lists in the sunflower then it appears in all of them.

The combinatorics question is then, for a given k and s how large does |P| have to be before you cannot help but have an s-sunflower in there.

So if k = 1 then P is a set of distinct integers, if you want a sunflower of size s that is guaranteed when |P| = s.

If k = 2 then P is a set of pairs of integers, if you want a sunflower of size s then thinking adversarially I can construct s-1 sets that all share the number 1 plus a bunch that don't. So (1, -1), (1, -2), ... (1, 1 – s). Then I can construct s – 1 sets that all share the number 2, maybe it helps if I overlap what I already have, (2, -1) ... (2, 1 – s). I can get as far as (s – 1)² in this construction before I have to add an element that creates a sunflower, if it’s say (s, -1) continuing the pattern then {(1, -1), (2, -1), ... (s, -1)} is a sunflower of size s with kernel {-1}, but if I try to get clever with (s, 0) then {(1, -1), (2, -2), ... (s – 1, 1 – s), (s, 0)} is a sunflower with kernel {}. But off the top of my head I'm not sure if this construction is optimally adversarial.

Notice that for k = 2 I got ~ (s – 1)², similar constructions can set a lower bound that with k = 3 you can need at least (s – 1)³, the biggest question is whether this is upper-bounded by f(s)^k for some function f so that the asymptotic growth in k is purely exponential. Right now the best known upper bound is superexponential, something like [s log(k)]^k.
Terminologically, both the middle and upper classes in the Marxist framework are bourgeois, the middle (mixed capital/labor dependent )being the petit bourgeoisie and the upper (pure capital dependent) being the haut bourgeoisie.

In the real world we have limited resources. Some societies are wealthy enough to sustain a few freeloaders without causing much trouble, but there are limits. If no one does useful work then we all freeze and starve.

It's interesting to look at the social and political divisions that have been growing in Israel over the role of the Haredi (ultra-orthodox). The men are exempt from conscription and mostly don't work for wages. Instead they focus on religious study and survive on welfare and donations. More secular Israelis tend to resent the Haredi as useless lumps who don't do their fair share of work.

I see your point, thanks for bringing it up. I guess what you're saying is that my position could be basicaly be interpreted as the old "well, maybe there's truth to the stereotype" line of reasoning, which is obviously very problematic. I guess the difference boils down to me believing that we white men are indeed privileged and you perhaps not believing that? Because that single belief really changes everything about the discussion. It's one thing to make this comment about myself from an assumed position of privilege, another to make it about others who are not usually bucketed into a position of privilege. Also, it seems to change the meaning when you quote me as "hmm..." versus the full quote, which was "hmm... maybe they all really have gone through similar situations..." There's a lot to unpack here but I've gotta get my day going and will have to leave it at that.

Horror’s a wide genre. There are tons of sub-genres that can be anything from cheer-at-the-impressively-gruesome-practical-FX over-the-top-kills slasher, to Star Trek levels of symbolism and metaphor that aren’t meant to be “read” literally, to art film stuff that uses horror tropes and elements but may not even be scary, to cringe-to-your-bones body horror, to deep existential horror that makes all but the most jaded kinda wish they hadn’t watched it. And more.

Also, outright comedy horror, which works so well because scares are often adjacent to laughter. Similar tension release, which is what a lot of fans are there for.
