However, that was for a single exercise/simulation and the Warsaw Pact militaries probably had loads of other plans. My understanding is that militaries plan all manner of scenarios, some of which turn out to be less than great ideas e.g.:

>Requiring that a utility provide equal service to everyone within a reasonable standard of feasibility is not racial discrimination.

That's right, but that's not what the rule says. The rule says that if your business decision, totally unbeknownst to you, has a disparate impact on a particular racial/ethnic/religious/income group, then you're in violation.
This only works if you compress the entire 19th century into a single point. Otherwise you have, eg Sense and Sensibility from 1811 vs Heart of Darkness from 1899.

If anything this claim merely shows the effect of “time compression” in which distant events feel like they happened around the same time.

Private ownership of capital is legal in China. It’s not communist at all.
Crawlspace is better. You just make your access and then you can drill down with a flexible bit. Pass the cable down, some twine on the other side, then you only have one quick crawl to pull the cable and maybe put up some cable staples to keep it out of the way. In the attic you have to fish the cable all the way down, makes it harder.
The mechanism of using a single doomsday weapon is somewhat unique, but the effect isn't that different from the actually implemented Dead Hand system that ensured that eliminating the Soviet command structure would trigger a rocket that sends out launch commands to all ICBMs. Though that was implemented years after the movie came out.

Lest we forget that Python doesn't even have a language standard.

The "standard" is a combination of PEPs, the Python docs, and the CPython implementation.

Implementation details are language features, because implementation details are the standard. Python programs that rely on the GIL are not "wrong". Such programs are relying on clearly-documented features of the system that they use.

Is it "wrong" to use GCC-specific features in a C program, if you know that you only intend to target GCC?
I believe that is indeed why.
How many other people knew nothing about the GIL. Got to using threading and inevitably found major performance issues that were 100% caused by the GIL?

Thusly moving to multiprocessing and dealing with the lack of shared memory issues, with managers.

When/if the GIL goes away, good riddence.
But the problem is that we know how to make reactors more economical: you make them larger. Maybe some smart people will find a way to bend the curve; I wish them luck. However, be careful in assuming that the aforementioned "cost-cutting innovations" via commercialization represent a free lunch. The sad fact is, most of the cost-savings from commercialization come from reducing the quality of the product, which is the one thing we don't want to compromise on when it comes to nuclear reactors.
»This is a carbon copy of what Germany did prior to the infamous "Altmaier-Knick" and "Gabriel-Tief [1], both named after the utterly incompetent ministers responsible for cutting back on these programs.«

Germany installed more wind and solar capacity per capita than any other country in the western world.

Besides that, if an economic program heavily relies on subsidies, it’s not sustainable in the first place.
Too bad this method didn't find its way into Netflix "Behind the Curve".
Ahh.. feed the LLM a special sauce. Then it will speak the Truth
A maintainer position for a software project is like any position or role, in say, a charity. You aren’t technically forced to do the work, but the charity announces publicly (on its web site, for instance) that the work will be done, and people expect it to be done. If you do not feel up to doing it anymore, you owe it to other people (who expect the work to be done) to announce your retirement and hand the position over to new people.

Any project which is not a going concern should:

A: Not, IMHO, be called a ”project”

B: Be clearly labelled, in its public-facing information, as being offered as-is, without any implied updates or future development.
Yes I think it needs to be centralized and aggregated.

I am sure many companies realize that they gain value from open source. Thus they are willing to pay something. However they do not want to handle transactions with every transitive dependency they use. Just like a radio station doesnt want a contract with every artist. This is why isolated commersial licenses wouldnt work for anything but the very largest projecys.
It's more the other way around. There's a defined band plan, because historically cable TV was just transmitting radio signals over coaxial cable instead of radio, so it inherited the broadcast TV band plan. Then digital TV inherited the analogue cable band plan and added higher-frequency channels.

To answer your question, cable TV uses frequencies between about 55MHz to 1GHz, but mostly starting at about 500MHz for digital cable. So if I wanted to transmit Ethernet over cable, I'd use a 2GHz band or something to avoid interference.
I'm reading "Trade Wars are Class Wars" by Klein and Pettis. The thesis is in the title and his case is convincing. American elites have every reason to give Xi a standing ovation: his oppression of the Chinese worker has played a key role in pumping American assets into the stratosphere and subduing American labor interests. Not only do they love him for it, they should love him for it.

You and I? Maybe not so much.
NATO had plans to defend against the Warsaw oact, NATO had plans to invade them. And the other way round, nothing special about it.
> Go on, then, 2 PCs on a LAN, both running a bare Linux kernel and a shell for init. Call them box1 and box2. Tell me how you mount the filesystem of box2 in a folder on box1.

Running /bin/sh on a bare kernel isn't a unix system. A unix system has daemons, at which point we get enough supporting tooling to make use of the very much built into the kernel NFS and 9P support and mounting files from one machine to another becomes easy.

You don't get that job being critical of the government. You think Seymour Hersh would take a gig with George W, Trump, or Obama?
> but does not even attempt to explore the game theory behind keeping it intact

As you say, the Pentagon theory is basically "we needed them in the past for technical reasons" followed by a firm plugging of the ears as people try to point out that the old technical restrictions no longer apply.

For the last two decades there hasn't been a coherent reason for the GBSD, which you can tell by how people say that the "GBSD is needed", that "China is building ICBMs", but never saying that the GBSD will be used to deter China. The reason only the most careless fools would explicitly say the GBSD is to be used against China is pretty simple: you would need to launch all your missiles toward Russia and pray really hard they don't interpret it as a first strike.
>the paper you linked to mentions race as one of several factors, the leading factor apparently being income level

That's not a "paper", it's the final rule that the FCC adopted. And it applies to race, ethnicity, religion, and income level equally.
I don't think it does. Pre-Trump, Ohio clearly had a large share of traditional conservative voters and leaders. However, when Trump came in and captured a ton of rust-belt Democrat support for Republicans, a lot of those traditional values did not come with the new support. That, and an aging boomer population being replaced with Gen X, Millenials, and Gen Z that hold much different beliefs on abortion and marijuana.
Agreed! It would be a real shame if lonely unattractive people had a chance at something resembling a romantic relationship. /s

Contrary to what one would assume, I don't have this problem. However I do work in the IT field, and am surrounded by perpetually sad and lonely people who have never experienced romance. It's really really sad. And no, none of these people are the "angry hateful incel" type that the internet loves to dismiss and villainize.

If you aren't attractive, your chance of finding romance is low. This is just a cold and ugly fact of the human condition. There simply isn't "someone for everyone".

Why should we disallow lonely people from having something, even if it's simulated?
> I would be willing to bet that 99% of these companies don’t neglect compensation out of malice.

There is no malice. FOSS is free and open. There are many softwares that chose to be paid ones and they are successful.
"The FCC Is Trying To Stop Discrimination In Broadband Deployment. Telecoms Are Mad"

That title could be more neutral.
There is no language standard. The GIL is a Python language feature because it's a CPython feature.
You sidestepped the whole point about systemic risk and tried to argue based on my "preferences". My friend, that's as cheap a copout as it gets.

Sorry to break it to you, but if it was only a matter of preference, I would've been fine with Signal or even WhatsApp.
That's blatantly and objectively wrong. The government isn't "mandating racial discrimination". They're fighting actual and de facto racial (and other) discrimination. For example:

- Housing discrimination through the Fair Housing Act [1]; and

- Racial discrimination in redistricting, affirmed by even this current Supreme Court [2].

One of the big open questions in LLM-assisted learning is whether it helps or hinders less experienced developers.

At this point I'm pretty confident it helps them. They need to understand that it's not infallible, but I think most people figure that out pretty quickly after using it for more than a few days.

There's absolutely a skill to using these things well, and it's a difficult one to teach because it's based more on intuition that you develop over time.

The key thing is helping people understand the strengths and limitations of these tools. That's something I do think we can teach.

Yeah I would replace AI in this case with a legal service which is more or less off the shelf.

The backend is made in bubble.io, and it uses a bunch of AI models via APIs: elevenlabs for the text-to-voice, some lipsync models (via replicate), a bit of deepfake (roop) for the host, a bit of chatGPT for the script generation
Yet you yourself also need to 'explain' as to why that statement is 'nonsensical'. It is no good just saying it is without giving any explanation.

Unless you can give a thorough explanation as how these LLMs internally can explain themselves transparently and reliably to the point where we don't need to check their outputs?
> who benefits most from open source: large companies.

Maybe in absolute terms but because of FOSS software I have been made free from the shackles of the windows ecosystem and liberated from the prison of Apple lock in to be free forever in the fields of the Linux and that alone has been invaluable to me.
Wikidata is such a treasure. There is quite a learning curve to master the SPARQL query language but it is really powerful. We are testing it to provide context to LLMs when generating audio-guides and the results are very impressive so far.
Python doesn't have a full specification, but it does have first party documentation that distinguishes between CPython implementation details and language guarantees, in part to support alternative implementations.

Germany had to return 19 coal-fired power plants with a total capacity of 7.3 GW to the electricity market simply because neither wind nor solar provide dispatchable power and hence can never replace conventional power plants. They just help saving fuel.

He gets downvoted because the real question is if burning wood causes climate change. Instead, he prefers to debate the exact meaning of closed loop.

Wood burning does not cause climate change provided it's matched by reforestation efforts.

As others point out, the real problem with wood burning is it's effects on air quality.

I agree. The goal of capitalism is to crush all competition and become a monopoly - and that's ok. The problem is, we should treat the monopoly as the winning end state and then restart the game.
Insulation is expensive and it's hard to be the first homeowner to install it - because when you sell your house, the next buyer has to pay a premium for your insulated house, which means they have to be convinced of the merits of insulation and be able to pay for it.

Countries that have both the money and the investment-friendly culture to insulate their houses tend to be the rich ones.

The actual point is that both rejecting or accepting anything you're told is unwise, but it's safer to reject what conspiracy theorists say because their assertions are not well-grounded nor do they follow the scientific method.

The procedures they follow (or fail to follow) are more important than their wild assertions. Ground-breaking assertions in science are not unheard of.

> AFAIK, there is no Python language specification

Yes, there is:

Paraphrased, they are saying LXD is more suited to running VMs or containers and not specifically microservices. It's missing sophisticated cross-container networking, centralized storage management, etc.

So they are pitching a "simpler than K8S, more complicated than LXD" layer on top of LXD for that purpose.

I suppose it also would compete with Proxmox, which is a somewhat different space than K8S. But other things it adds, like the web ui, RBAC, etc...put it in that space also.
The Commissioner Simington dissent at https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-398477A5.pdf covers this issue fairly well. The Fair Housing Act disparate impact rule has several constitutional safeguards, the only reason why the Supreme Court upheld it in the Inclusive Communities case, that this one does not. Most importantly, it has a defense for "legitimate, nondiscriminatory" business decisions, such that disparate impact protects people only from "artificial, arbitrary, and unnecessary barriers." So you can comply by just making rational business decisions. Here, you can't, you have to take into account race because the only defense is "economic or technical infeasibility."

Sure you can patent a folding coat hanger, in fact someone did recently in granted US patent US1139964B2 [0].

If you look at the claim, which defines the scope of the monopoly, you'll see it is very long. That is because folding coat hangers were already invented and reinvented many times over. Some example published applications would be US4997115A [1], US5632422A.

I've not looked at the OP yet, but I'd be surprised if they had a new invention in this space; possible of course.

That was my idea from the beginning among forbidding macros in Office and enforcing text email everywhere for corporate comms among an internal Jabber/SIP server for group videoconferences and a hacked up News (NNTP) server for internal discussions and news, which would be one of the best tools to implement an easy discussion board to mark both issues and schedules.

I love IEEE-754 because it’s so trivially simple to understand at the surface level and at the same time deeply complex. A short standard followed by an enormous number of detailed, non-obvious corner cases that occur in the real world and that all had to be handled by the standard. And it has really stood the test of time!

It’s a good example of something produced by some very smart people with deep theoretical knowledge and deep experience in both things that had worked and even more things that had seemed like a good idea at the time but had turned out to be problematic in practice.

It’s a fascinating standard. The process was like the IETF’s but deeper, which is rarely possible.
