I suspect most Americans with a passing interest in nuclear deterrence have heard of this.

Moreover, the article is almost entirely about the sentinel land-based ICBM program, which is only 100 B of those 1.5 T. I would argue it is pretty shocking how cheap our nuclear deterrent is, especially compared to our conventional military budget (1.5 T per year).

The article includes the suggestion that the land-based nuclear fleet may be superfluous, but does not even attempt to explore the game theory behind keeping it intact (E.g., nuclear missile failure rates, warhead fratricide, the historical difficulty of keeping a boomer fleet stealthy, etc.)
I just got 5gbps symmetrical FTTH installed. I'm in Michigan, so hardly some connectivity utopia. I'm going through a round of upgrading my network devices to be able to actually handle it.
I think the opposite, at the start it's a no-brainer. Setting up cloud infra for a simple website or web api is so so simple, and between free tiers and startup credits, costs $0.
Heat. Almost all modern fixtures count as "enclosed" - and most LED bulbs, if you look closely on the case, aren't rated for "enclosed or recessed" use. Basically, they're fine, if they're upright in a table lamp or so.

Most modern fixtures are recessed, and the bulbs are "upside down" - so the heat builds up in the base of them, where the power electronics are, and simply fries them. There's a typical, handwaving, "For each 10C above design temperature, the lifetime halves" curve you can apply, and those power electronics are running way above design temperature in "almost all modern uses." So they die quickly.

An enclosed rated bulb is worth trying, if you can find one that does what you want. But good luck. They're cheap consumer devices at this point, built to a price point.
Using the phrase "artificial scarcity" to describe someone's skills is ridiculous. A voice actor or artist being paid for their skills is not rent seeking.
It’ll be guarded by a fine-grained mutex, so it won’t seg fault. They’re using a performant mutex based on webkit’s wtf::lock.
Say more. I'm not sure I understand.

Closest I found was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_number, but this seems to mean that no matter what base you choose the digits are uniformly distributed. Meaning, yes, it's random.

Although, this SE thread: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/51829/distribution-... seems to indicate that pi is not proven to be normal
Of course the way that text is written, displayed, rendered, formatted, etc is all highly language dependent and culture dependent.

"stop"
"STOP"
“Stop”
"STAHP"

These all mean different things even though it's just one language. To suggest that the way symbols are presented doesn't carry its own symbolic communication is willful ignorance at best, and at worst a kind of arrogant imposing that "my way of seeing things is the only correct way."

In a thread about the "bits of information transfer successfully encoded by AI on a UI implementation," I would expect an experienced engineer to notice the bandwidth of communication (or lack thereof) being demonstrated.
This the same argument why IPv6 can't be a thing on the internet; I agree that the book isn't closed entirely on that yet, but very significant progress has been made.

I've thought about doing this where the money is escrowed, and the recipient can optionally take it if they think the email is spam or otherwise unsavoury. You of course wouldn't take money from friends or family. Email marketing that you never asked for you would of course accept their money. Random spam phishing emails you would readily take the fee from.
I think the Gettier problems are at least epistemological problems with some weight, at least as long as you're in the Justified True Belief sort of camp (which I think many of us start out as).

If you haven't seen Gettier problems before, I'd start with the generalized problem and work out from there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettier_problem#The_generalize...
Is there any versioning scheme that is comparable? Honest question.
I was asking for a source so I could look further into this, do you have any?
You made me think of some of my favorite lines from LCD Soundsystem’s “Losing My Edge”:

You're speaking as if web journal articles had meaningful content in them beyond the headline -- you must live in a parallel universe.

Anyways, it remains factual that around 6% is standard throughout the developed world. It makes the market illiquid, as you need to wait for the value of the property to increase to make back those costs, which is a main driver of the real estate market inflating so much.

You're probably not noticing any odors from your local municipal fireworks because they launch them quite a bit higher into the air than your typical neighbor is going to be sending their firecrackers and bottle rockets, making it someone else's problem. The reason industrial smoke stacks are as tall as they are is to get the smoke away from the immediate vicinity/surface.
Yes, but as with stocks, past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The fact that humanity as a species has survived past social shocks does not mean it's a certain thing we'll survive future ones. Our ancestors had much longer to adjust their societies for new technology than we're getting these days.
This is the first time I've seen WSJ articles not be given full access from archive.
While I don't think this idea is a good one, that problem is easily solved with whitelisting. Everyone gets to pick a set of senders who can communicate with them freely, or up to a cap.
Imo if you’re “doing coding right”, at a certain point, you should be thinking very little about what you’re doing. This can manifest as having easily copypastable design patterns, lots of tests, inversion of control, etc.

Even among senior developers it can be shockingly rare for people to actually understand and implement something like DI/IoC in a correct and useful way.
Most of those do not affect neurogenesis (some exceptions apply), but some can be outright neurotoxic chronically, potentially by excitotoxicity. Which means oxidative stress on neurons impairing their function.

A bunch of strong serotonergics produce such effects. Normally SSRI are screened for it, but that's mostly for acute version...

Dose scheduling is underresearched part of the whole ordeal. Sometimes a pause is necessary to prevent the damage or recerse the tolerance.
I'm not sure that's true. Look at the printing press. Sure, Shakespeare is a classic, but most of the rest of what we read as "classics" probably centers around the mid-1800s (at least in English-speaking countries)
A great SaaS idea! It subtly injects "glory to the creator" type messages in existing science documentaries, for consumption by faith-based institutions.
There’s 50M-60M people between California and NYC.

At this point making “mid six figures” hardly makes you rich. You don’t have to be the top 1% to see a tax rate higher than the one you stated.

Point is arguing that Americans are low taxed when the highest paying jobs are concentrated in high tax states and cost of living is much higher ignores reality for many Americans who pay as much or more than Europeans.
My most interesting ethernet run:

My office is in the basement corner with the sump pump, and said pump is located inside an undersized closet along with some pipework for the furnace, and all that like I said is in the very most corner space of the basement, basically inside a drywall box about 3 feet square. All things considered, it looks pretty nice. However I wanted ethernet back here for obvious reasons, and for several other reasons relating to layout, using either of the basement-facing walls wouldn't work.

SO: I realized that to run the plumbing and such from the furnace and utility area to this corner, they left a cavity a few inches tall in the ceiling at the outside-facing wall to this little cabinet. I bought a piece of 10-foot PVC pipe an inch wide, and slid it into this cavity between the existing pipes, securing it in place with a little bracket and some junk screws. Then I shoved four ethernet cables through that, into this little closet, and installed an ethernet wall plate in the door since it isn't regularly used and hooked it up there with enough slack that the door can move easily when we need to have any mechanicals serviced in there.

It's worked perfectly for the last 5 years. Love it.
2.5 Gbps is pretty common.
> I'd really like to travel by train sleeper car, but I just can't justify it as transportation

What an odd comment. It gets you where you're going, the same as any other form of transportation. For a long time it was the default way people took long distance trips. I don't take it repeatedly for the "experience". I take it because it's a more pleasant way to travel at roughly the same price point.

Do you also consider road trips or long bus rides to be not transportation?

> given the prices.

Again, with two people, it's been about the same price the last few times we've done it.

I thought frame size negotiation was an optional part of LLDP now. I suspect it fits into the broad category of things that could be well-defined if there was broad adoption of a poorly adopted standard.
> N64 carts only go up to 64 megabytes, not gigabytes.

I don't know anything specific about it, but given the cartridges were hardware, couldn't you theoretically bank switch to get any size you want?
Yes, but you said "the same objects". The same objects are very expensive and require permission to test on.
One of the great things about Emacs is that I can run it on a terminal when needs be, or as a GUI application when I have a graphical environment up and running. Doing something like rebasing it on WebRender means I wouldn't be able to use it in the terminal anymore.

There are plenty of problems in Emacs that need to be resolved, but this is NOT one of them.
Not sure why you're downvoted, but yes! Modern wood burning stoves can come with catalytic converters [0], which can make the stove burn more efficiently as well as lowering emissions.

Generally the stoves are designed specially for this. The stove burns hotter and may have a second combustion chamber. DIYers welding in the catalytic converter from a car is not the norm and not expected to be safe, but I bet there are some hackers who have made it work.

That wasn't your original point, though. You're drifting. Recall that your original point was that those who volunteered to shoot guns and kill people in iraq not only provided value to society in doing so, but did so more than everyone else, including doctors and teachers. You never explained what that value was, other than a deluded, jingoistic "safety" claim which was quickly debunked.

So, let's get back on topic: some individuals glamorize going to iraq to shoot guns and kill random people so much, that they actually believe such killing urges are helpful. So I feel these individuals are doing a disservice because they aren't good at identifying what is helpful and what isn't.

Meanwhile, a kid that goes into teaching or medicine (you keep ignoring medicine. Curious.) is helping in one way or another. You're right that these iraq war volunteers extract value from society (and keep it for themselves). Teaching and medicine, on the other hand, have better systems to give that value back to society.
Can you list some of those shops? I'm hard pressed to find one that isn't selling items that were drop-shipped to them from Aliexpress/baba and then marked up. It may not be direct from the manufacturer, but going from N-middlemen to 1-middleman is about the best you can do right now.

> If that's true, why then did it take me 10 seconds yesterday to find an extremely obscure fact of 18th century history with ChatGPT 3.5? I tried Google queries for over an hour, without success.

Same. I spent a good amount of time in our house the first fall setting up PoE cameras, which involved much time crawling around the attic. Hell of a workout and can be unpleasant but extremely doable.
The development I mentioned in Cluj predates the IT-sector boom, let alone the tourist boom. It began in the student cafes, and it can be ascribed to the fact that running a profitable cafe is hard. You like to make claims about things you know little about, don’t you?

“Go to Italy, Portugal, Austria and many others” The countries you mention by name are either southern European or Central European. You need more firsthand experience than that to make such blanket statements as "In any European city you'll find...", like you did in the OP.

Your idea that Starbucks is unusual in that people stay there for hours, while independent cafes are necessarily drink-and-go experiences, is horribly misinformed. Go to the Western Balkans, where there are few or no Starbucks around, but myriad independent cafes where men often spend half the day on a single purchase. The cafe has always been a community center in that region. And in areas with high unemployment, ageing demographics, and little money, they also play an important role as simply a way to get out of the house.

That’s a fair point, in that if consumers prioritized open infrastructure over convenience, a commercial enterprise would too. However this is back to the earlier point - there is no point railing about that. It’s just a fact that most people want to just buy the nicest thing they can with their money.
No one is arguing against agents, they're arguing against a fixed, non-negotiable 6% fee. The reason people are talking about DIY sales is because that is the only option left to them.
I mean, the image is distasteful but isn’t it valid political commentary? If the poster thinks that Taylor Swift is a nazi and is similarly guilty of genocide or whatever, I think it’s going to be a pain to try to remove that content on a case by case basis.

Is it ok to make images depicting others than Taylor Swift as a nazi?

It seems like instagram just needs to stick to their TOS or it will be confusing and an effort storm.

It seems like this was a solved problem on the 90s/2000s with forums and boards that there was some defined line that people can’t cross (eg, nudity, curse words, spam, whatever) that would get stuff removed but otherwise people will post distasteful things to groups of people and the correct move is to ignore or downvote. Otherwise it just gets into some weird form of polling to see who’s happiest of things get taken down and that takes mod time, and seems to just stir up people with non-productive discussion and frustration and other negative emotions.

I love Taylor Swift as much as the next person (the Taylor’s version redos are just great!) but this seems like no reason to acknowledge.

(Of course instagram can do whatever it wants as it’s their platform legally, but if their goal is to have good discussion and improve humanity than they need consistent modding based on some principle other than subjective outrage on a case by case basis)
Technology has been able to do 80% of the job of a realtor for about 20 years now. The profession has only become more lucrative in that time. Legal action, not market forces, have finally brought it to a point of change.

Maybe in the age of AI there are some lessons us software devs can take from the real estate agents.
Newspeak. Bravo.
I tried to mention containing knowledge to avoid a discussion like this: not 'knowing' or 'having knowledge' or something that could lead to a discussion like this, which I don't think aligns with the point I was trying to make, which is that top LLMs are not merely good at things like grammar, but that a key part of what they do has to do about information about the world.

FWIW, although 'justified true belief' is classic in the sense of being an old definition of knowledge, I don't think any significant number of modern philosophers would use it.
Also, check the phone lines. If it's recent enough build, it will use Cat5 (or higher, but probably not) for the phone lines.
They are terrible for everyone except Maduro, his family and friends and the same about Kim Jong Un in North Korea.

I many times suspect that people who yearn for communism/socialism just wish to be those who come out on top from the revolution such as the Castros, the Chavez, Maduro, Guevara, Ortega, etc.
I won't argue with bizzare, but it's common in version notation.

If it wasn't already common, it would probably become common shortly after the first time a big respectable company hit the "oops what comes after 9" problem and decided on dot-separated-integers rather than significant digits :)
I was impacted by this, I have some digital magazines from the 2010s; Conde Nast Traveller. Honestly I don't care, like print magazines I read the issues a long time ago and haven't thought of them since.

I can download the PDFs and then reupload to drive if I want (the only annoyance here is that I have to do that, there's no simple "export to drive" button, or I can just pretend that I got them in the mail, read them, and tossed them in the recycling a decade ago.

If it were some magazine I really wanted to keep forever instead of inspiration for trips I already went on, it would be a bigger deal, but even then a nice pdf download is fine by me, slots in next to my big collection of old dragon magazines in PDF.
A CLA could fix that, but that should be done early, and you need to be prepared to ignore people that try to pressure you into not doing it.
Semantic Versioning is ubiquitous across the modern software industry. It’s worth reading about it if you’re not familiar: https://semver.org/

Never assume that version numbers are decimal values. It’s more obvious when you see the full version triple (3.13.0 for example) that it’s not a single number, but the abbreviated version numbers can some times look like a decimal value. You should never compare version numbers as decimals in modern software unless you’re absolutely sure that’s how the project is structured.
You make it out as all/most things we do is 'high risk'.

And I clearly showed an example how LLM is more an interface than a answering machine.

If a LLM understands the basics of law it is by sure much better than a lot of paralegals of transforming the info into search queries for a fact database.

I was curious, too. Looked it up. Still don't understand tho.

I'm guessing interleaving is probably not possible because the `extend` call is passed the full list, and it holds the GIL until it's finished. But you'd have to look at the bytecode to be sure, I suppose. If there were three append calls instead of a single extend, I would assume any interleaving would be valid.

> or if the GIL is removed does the interpreter segfault (I'm pretty sure this latter will not be the case for GIL removal but I don't understand the gil remove plan very much yet).

I haven't looked into the plan in detail either, but presumably not, that would be nuts. My understanding is that they're going to replace the GIL with locks on the objects themselves (your list `l` in this case). This is why in all the tests single-threaded performance suffer, you have to take and release more locks if you don't have a GIL, and the objects themselves grow larger as well.

> I really don't want to get into politics on HN, but there is no genocide nor apartheid, this is just Hammas propaganda. Israel has the means to kill Palestinians and it doesn't.

This is the full quote you originally cut. It is obvious that this refers to killing in the context genocide (the same way the rest of the text refers to apartheid).

Even if you originally thought in earnest that I meant any killing (which is obviously ridiculous), I made it clear multiple times that this was not what I meant.
