Yes. Literally the US is the one building a military wall around China and we say China is the aggressor? China is largely reacting to this in ways that can be considered mature and will prevent war. I don't like a lot of what china does but in this specific situation the country is making the right choice.

Imagine if China did the same thing and tried to build a blockade around the US. Something minor like maybe putting some missiles in Cuba... how would the US react? Oh wait.

Honestly the real thing going on here is the economic and technological rise of china to surpass or become a peer to the US. It's a story about patriotism, power and refusal to to become 2nd place.

> Ever heard a pair of speakers that didn’t sound like hearing a recording of an instrument, but rather hearing the instrument itself?

Yeah, full-range drivers + tube amp. I built the tube amp and speakers so it was not really expensive at all. (Maybe $500 or so all told — so not audiophile expensive by any means.)
You can definitely find decent 5 Gbps and even some 10 Gbps cables under $20.

$100 is firmly in the "premium" cable range; you can find decent active 40 Gbps cables by reputable brands for around $50 these days.
Not having listened to it, I'd guess he's referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richat_Structure, a very large circular rock structure in Africa.

Some stations have "HD TMC" (traffic message channel) streams. The others that I've encountered are "HERE Images" (traffic & weather radar images, discussed and mostly reverse engineered in https://github.com/theori-io/nrsc5/pull/308), "HERE TPEG", "TTN TPEG", "TTN STM", "NavteqAdmin" and "NavteqPacketData1."

At present, nrsc5 makes these streams available through its API, but doesn't otherwise do anything useful with them. I don't believe any of the GUIs process them either. Some reverse engineering work is needed.
> Beyond the elite media he also identifies the prestigious academic institutions, which consequently are the source of elite media and business power, as a part of the apparatus that determines what’s ok to think.

These theories seem to start with the assumption that all ideas are equal, and what's 'ok' is arbitrary preference. We are dealing with truth.

High quality media directly check and corroborate facts; they use journalism to systematize delivery of truth. Quality research is about revealing truths - about nature, society, etc., systematizing it via scientific method.

Yes, humans fail all the time at truth, but they succeed all the time too. These institutions do a pretty good job, IMHO, and simultaneously a very flawed job that could be improved.

> Are they really dysfunctional though?

I believe they objectively are, yes. And for many reasons, all of
which must be seen contextually in the frame of history. They're not
the best we've had, as a measurable fact or certainly a
verifiable/pollable mass opinion.

Staffing levels of institutions has fallen. Spending on public
institutions has fallen, and therefore the quality of personnel. Many
have moved their functions into the private sector. Trust in
institutions has fallen. Effectiveness of institutions has fallen.
Many institutional buildings are decrepit. Morale is low.

Of course the strength of institutions rises and falls through
history, and some transform or vanish completely. At one time the
universities all but disappeared from Europe (save for strongholds in
Paris, Bologna, Oxford and Cambridge), only to appear again, vibrant
after the Middle Ages. I think they are going through a new crisis
right now, one that originates within.

> If these institutions are the best we have, then by definition they
are not dysfunctional

That logic seems wonky to me. Currently institutions don't meet the
needs of a the complex society we have, and there are obvious
consequences in poor or inequitable healthcare, education, policing,
defence, environmental management...

FWIW I'm a big believer in strong public institutions and hope to see
many restored to integrity, maybe even within my lifetime.
There have been GPL/AGPL projects in the past that used CLAs and gone propeietary... I don't have the details at the moment, but I prefer to the ounce of prevention, rather than waiting for it to happen to me.
That's exactly how Wikipedia operates. The difference is that on IRC everyone was doing it for the lulz. On Wikipedia some editors are trying to improve the encyclopedia while other are there for the power trips. The second group has an inherent advantage over the former group. Improving articles requires one to spend hours researching while undoing that work just requires a few clicks and vague references to POLICIES. This pisses editors off who becomes easy targets for SEALIONING and NPA. Eventually they write "fuck off, moron" which is a personal attack so they get banned and the power tripper wins again.
Then you didn't read the article. The whole point is can the UK meet all of its energy needs with solar and wind. That includes transportation energy. The comment I was responding to was wondering how to reduce the energy needs. A big part of it is by drastically increasing the efficiency of transportation by moving from ICE to BEV.

Well, ECS only makes some operations cache friendly/parallelizable - namely linear iteration through the array of entities, where not all fields of each entity are used.

I'd imagine a city simulation involves a lot of graph lookup and traversal, spatial lookups and is generally a hairy and messy affair, not sure how easy it is to adapt that to ECS.

Then again, SimCity and Transport Tycoon simulated complex cities on, by today's standards, very frugal hardware, so city simulation might not even be such a CPU hog.
The funny thing is this has already happened. They erected a platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross. The only problem being that a) it doesn’t even vaguely correspond to the description in the book and b) in fact, from the description it’s likely they were actually talking about old St Pancras station.
Well, sure, but the alternatives are more complex and harder to get right. You can literally just pick two random numbers of the right magnitude, find the closest primes, and be good for RSA.

My comments on "Seriously, stop using RSA":

* https://articles.59.ca/doku.php?id=pgpfan:rsabad
I'm not GP but, in theory, if a corporation can't find any opportunities for use of capital greater than holding it in safe/cash-like instruments and sees no possibility of those opportunities emerging in the short-medium term, it should be distributed to shareholders, who may well have use for it (even if those shareholders are just intending to put it into cash-like instruments themselves).

The counter arguments that I've seen (there may well be others) are either that it does see those opportunities, but not at this precise moment in time, so is keeping the cash for later. At the level of $156b, this seems a bit unlikely but hey maybe they have some great ideas in the pipeline.

The alternative is that they don't but aren't distributing it to shareholders, because of the tax implications of that distribution (and in general many corporations seem to favour buybacks rather than dividends for tax reasons), and they have some hope that those tax implications will change in the future (or their share price will fall, allowing for better buybacks), allowing them to then distribute the money in a way that benefits the shareholders more.
When I was in high school I wrote a nice FORTH for the TRS-80 Color Computer using the OS-9 operating system which was a Unix-like multitasking OS that would fit on a 6809 microcomputer.

I think it was around 2000 lines of assembly code to implement most of the FORTH-83 standard although mine was unusual in that it did not support the block-based I/O that was common on “language system” FORTHs but instead it had handle-based API for accessing files similar to Unix, C and MS-DOS in version 2 and up.

The programming environment was a lot like Linux overall in that I’d use an ed or vi clone to edit files, then run something like an assembler or C compiler. I’d run my FORTH binary and it would present an interactive environment like most FORTHs.
A pair of Visual Pinball cabinets.

Even with an initial sloppy mockup I found the wife loved playing pinball. So I went all in and built a new gaming PC, bought a 120 Hz TV just for a stand-alone pinball cab build.

(Oh, and found that using the previous gaming PC and a few other things lying around I could also build a mini-pinball-cab — so I have that one coming together as well.)

Yes buffer overflows are one of the explicitly addressed vulnerabilities of Rust's bounds checker, which is always on, if memory serves. I haven't touched Rust in a year.
Suppose you wanted to find a root of f(x) = x^3 - a mod N. If there is a root smaller than N^(1/3), this reduces to simply computing the integer cube root of a, since there is no wrap-around.

But imagine if the problem is slightly changed to f(x) = (x + padding)^3 - a mod N, for some large but known padding. Now you can't simply compute an integer cube root, and the above doesn't work anymore. But you can look for a product of f(x) by some other polynomial g(x): f(x)g(x) necessarily contains the roots of f(x), but may have smaller coefficients such that evaluating f(x)g(x) at the root you're looking for does not wrap around N.

Now look into what this multiplication looks like: f(x)g(x) = c_0 f(x) + c_1 x f(x) + c_2 x^2 f(x) + ..., where c_i are the unknown coefficients of g(x). This is a sum of integer multiples of known coefficient vectors and, to find the set of coefficients c_i such that this sum is a small as possible is exactly the same as finding a short vector in the lattice (f(x), xf(x), x^2f(x), ...), where the vectors are the coefficients of each (shifted) polynomial. You also have to weight the coefficients according to their exponent, to account for the fact that the coefficient of, say, x^3 needs to be smaller than x to avoid wrap-around.

Once lattice reduction gives you back an f(x)g(x) with small enough coefficients you compute its integer roots, which is doable very quickly, and check which of them work for f(x). That's the gist of it. The full-fledged method also includes powers of f(x) modulo powers of N instead of simply multiplying it by g(x), and that was the trick Coppersmith introduced, but if you understand the simple version the full version is straightforward.
The 'Octopus: Sam Israel' book really highlights this -- conmen seem to be more susceptible to being conned than the general public.
Such very shallow waters and mud shoals do exist on the north side of Europe, following the flooding of Doggerland (around 6000 BC). Those waters are "beyond" the Pillars of Heracles if you circumnavigate the entire Iberian coastline. It's likely that tales of this region could have made it to Greece, but I don't think many Greeks had seen it themselves.

I've been editing Wikipedia for 15 years, but I've never wanted to be an admin.

Yeah, I get reverted a fair bit. I very rarely bite back; disputes are incredibly draining of time and energy, and usually pivot on obscure interpretations of Wikipedia policy.

If you look on having your edit reverted as "Someone on the internet is wrong", and don't take it personally, you can just walk away from that article without your blood-pressure getting out of control. There are always other articles that need fixing.
Yeah just let China takeover the small nations around it. Why do we keep bullying China and Russia.
These are great. It's unfortunate that if there's any minor bugs there's no way to really keep in sync though, for example the security issue mentioned in another comment in these comments. It would be cool if these examples could be wrapped up into some sort of convenient "package" or something like that, such that you could easily know if there are any updates and grab them, as well as just make it easier to grab these functions whenever you need them instead of copy-pasting them...

> single reason for all wars since at least the year 2000.

You are conflating reason with participant. The main reason for wars since 2000 is middle east terror groups. Regardless of your thoughts on Afghanistan or Iraq, it is clear that the US would not have invaded anyone were it not for the fact that it suffered a pretty major attack on its own soil. I would suggest those that don't want war stop attacking other countries.

But at the end of the day, when you are the only military power in the world (the US military is in a class of its own) and the only one responsible for the current state of world peace (the world is more peaceful than it's ever been), you're going to be involved in the battles that crop up here and there. Luckily, we can assure the outcomes.

Sure, but if you go on vacation and don't check your email for two weeks, you can't really claim “no warning”. If two weeks isn’t sufficient notice because of vacation it’s fine to say so, but it’s not the same thing as “no warning” just because you’re not checking email.
Hyper minimalist projects always end up re-implementing half of jquery or lodash. Much easier to just find a good library that does treeshaking like ramda and use it sparingly.
No, that's a common misconception. The relevant section of the license is:

> Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software.

This does not state that you must license any of your software that interacts with the AGPL code over the network as AGPL, merely that you make modified versions of the AGPL code available to users who interact with it over the network licensed as AGPL. The rest of the license generally behaves as the GPL would.

Any reproducible package manager is suffice. Debian aims for that, too, AFAIK.

With Homebrew you end up having to link the binary, and you cannot link different binaries with the same name.

I just use venvs for Python, and pipx takes care of that, together with topgrade which ensures all software repos remain updated, Homebrew or Nix or not. For Rust I use Cargo, etc etc.

I'd agree Nix does it more elegantly but it is a very different beast to handle. Anything I want to do with Nix(OS) I have to look up how they do it.
> It's not like you get a pass on the tax evasion because you're also strongly suspected of committing much worse crimes, is it?

Tax evasion is what did Al Capone in. Because the bar to prove that he was involved in a lot of seriously criminal activity was quite high, but proving that he committed tax only required proving that he had undeclared income.
Yup. It’s a shit state now, I used to live up in Northern California for a while. Proposals for the 51st state of Jefferson have been gaining popularity again. I’d love to see it happen as it would probably get me to move back to that region, but not under the current governance.

To say Chomsky and Herman's media theory lacks empirical evidence and that every political theory held by (what western liberals consider as) "radicals" is the same, just reeks of neoliberal depolitization. Its the ultimate end-of-politics style argument to end all arguments, the little bit of actual political discourse left in western neoliberal societies is nothing but shunned and marginalized.

The same vapid ideology that always claims to be free of ideology and that underpinned the culture of the Obama white house that brought us Trump in the first place. Not to mention the absolute havoc it wrought in the, for the lack of a better word, global south.
I tell myself this so I can sleep at night. It's hard though, real people are dying. Beyond that, there's a very real movement from many VCs to blacklist people who aren't pro-Israel.

It feels like we're at war. A war I didn't want and have nothing to do with other than I know enough about history to sympathize with the Palestinians and to be generally against civilian death. There's a huge rift in our industry and it's impacting everyone (including employees) and many VCs are driving it.

One thing I learned from a brief stint at a criminal law firm: criminals are usually pretty dumb. In TV and movies, they are usually depicted as clever, but the opposite is usually true. These are people that put themselves at huge legal and physical risk to make a similar amount of money to what they could get in a normal job.
