The future of air defense is made in Ukraine or Israel. Buy their systems - both are under attack and so have reason to innovate in ways that matter. Better for other countries to focus on things that are not needed in those particular conflicts (or are needed but not as critical a priority and so they are not putting limited resources on).

>or raked it in by founding software/crypto firms.

That's not exactly something to be proud of in life or someone to look up to. Charles Ponzi, Andrew Tate, and the dozens of other influencers also became quite wealthy by finding legal ways to part desperate people of their money.

>Zero of 'em went anywhere near "uber-difficult engineering technology" stuff, like semiconductor manufacturing.

And yet thank God we have no shortage of people who take the difficult path to working on the cutting edge technology to move humanity and the world forward instead of choosing the easy way of moving buffers around to push ads to people for big money, because we can't have a world where everybody is a webdev(satirized well by South Park).
It's funny to compare attitudes towards curve grading and stack ranking. If only 16% of a class is good enough for an A, shouldn't only 16% of employees be good enough for a raise?

The parent comment isn't saying that locating in Trump Tower indicates support for anything. What it's saying is that the vast majority of people will think of the former president every time they walk into a building named Trump Tower, forming an association in their mind with the tenants of that building. It's quite possible that that's an unfair association to make! But the point is that the tenants should know that people will make that association, whether warranted or not. It's the same reason why Disney and Apple are so careful about what they position their brand next to: people make associations, whether or not they're justified.

Literally nothing in the definitions you're linking to mentions anything about owners. And the definitions given at points just re-enforce the ambiguity. Definition 5 is "To apportion (more or less evenly)." I think one could reasonably read "more or less evenly" to mean "either more evenly or less evenly" or "relatively evenly".

The definitions for "distribution" rather than "distribute" only weaken your narrow view further. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/distribution

Definitions include "An apportionment by law (of funds, property)" and critically "The apportionment of income or wealth in a population" with the example usage "The wealth distribution became extremely skewed in the kleptocracy." I.e. becoming extremely skewed didn't mean it was no longer a "distribution" in virtue of being concentrated.

And especially in a space where lots of people have a technical background, we're very likely to be thinking of the wealth distribution explicitly as a probability distribution (also listed as a separate definition), _especially_ we've already used the concept of quantiles on that distribution. Englishing flexibly, I think it's totally reasonable for "distribution" to refer to either the function assigning probability mass, _or_ to the act or process of making such a function true.

People in this thread are mostly using this word in a reasonable way. You're the one seeking to redefine words by insisting that only an entropy-increasing change is a "distribution".

I do believe that text in files isn't the ideal way of expressing and structuring program instructions.

But the friction to get something else established is so huge - all tooling would need to change ... unless perhaps one develops a way to translate between the internal format and text.

> I can see them capturing US DOD budgets, but predict that much more cost effective competitors emerge internationally.

The selling point of Anduril according to one of its founders has always been "Make billions of dollars while saving the US government tens of billions of dollars."

I don't think people really understand how much money is thrown around willy-nilly within the Department of Defense. Anduril's offering to sell drones here with individual purchase prices in the $100k-$500k range here. Compared to the alternatives used for this role it's 1-2 orders of magnitude cheaper.
Yes and having to manually toggle the plugins and hope that your requests end up in the right one wasn’t great either. Especially with the 1 action per response limit. The new GPTs look and feel much more, for lack of a better word, natural. I‘ve had an interaction in the main GPT where it first looked up something on the internet and then followed up with generating an image and writing a suitable text. I found it pretty magical.
> You know the difference? Consoles are usually attached to big-ass TVs.

You can just connect your iPhone/iPad to your TV using a USB-C to HDMI cable, and all is good. I bought a random USB-C to HDMI cable off Amazon, and it simply worked. No fiddling with settings, no setup, I just connect the cable and everything simply works.

The support for gamepads on iOS/iPadOS is great too, tried it with first-party PS4, PS5, and Switch (Switch Pro controller) gamepads. Worked without any issues, the whole pairing process took less than a minute (and that minute included googling how to do it).

I was moving across the country recently, so for a period of time I didn't have housing and had to stay at my friend's place (which he generously allowed me stay at while he was out of town for a week). I just connected my iPad to his TV with a cable, paired my PS4 gamepad with the iPad, and made quite a bit of progress in Vampire Survivors this way.
but those <br>s are in between the graphs, and they line up with the layout. the last line of the graph does not have those breaks.

i just looked at the site on a different browser, and the anomaly i'm seeing in FF does not appear in the Safari. in Safari, it just has double spaced graphs. in FF, the last line in each graph is also separated by a double space.

in 2023, and we still can't have consistent layouts across browsers. FML
The weapons get tested, but there isn't the existential threat that drives people to actually change their behaviors in response to that data. If the Ukrainians jerry rig a $5k drone to work as well as a $50k missile, the US congress isn't going to cancel their contract for $50k missiles. If we were facing a peer adversary directly though, being able to get 10 times the firepower with the same resources might be a much higher priority.

Further, not everything gets tested when all you're facing are non-peer adversaries. For example the only US Navy ship currently in service that has ever sunk an enemy ship in combat is the USS Constitution, which did so more than 200 years ago.

It really sucks that a company so irresponsible with all your data is one of the leading AI companies now.
IT is expensive, but not in $$$ terms. You have to dedicate your life to physical training which takes a lot of time. You have to have jobs that let you take a lot of time off. Nothing that is difficult per se, but still not normal.

It is also expensive in life terms - local guides often do dangerous work making this possible.
Before act 3, there was act 1 & act 2. These conflicts were at least decades in the making, if not over a century. Best option is to seek peace & seriously understand & respect the terms of the "enemy". Better than perpetual conflict that only seems to benefit the Billionaire class. Trade > war

See CRAM: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter_rocket,_artillery,_and...

C-RAM uses the 20mm HEIT-SD (high-explosive incendiary tracer, self-destruct) ammunition, originally developed for the M163 Vulcan air defense system. These rounds explode on impact with the target, or on tracer burnout, thereby greatly reducing the risk of collateral damage from rounds that fail to hit their target.
I want this as a channel in our discord.

> But I would argue the world is not zero-sum.

The world is complex. Some things are zero-sum (like land), some are not (like education).

While the low/middle class are certainly more comfortable these days, there is not yet enough evidence that this can be done sustainably in perpetuity. After all, if the entire world lived like the average US citizen, we'd quickly run out of resources (another zero-sum example, btw)
Yeah, i'll be training a Mistral variant soon (and some of the larger, newer models as well).

I had a few dataset issues I know about that I wanted to fix first.
> where bored rich folk could dedicate themselves to one upping each other in the discovery game their peers and recent predecessors had invented. There were certainly cheaters then, too, but the whole thing was very insular and the only people who even cared about it were the people who were in on the game themselves. So excelling within the rules and elaborate demonstrations of the game were all part of the club sport.

I see this meme about the early scientists a lot. Unfortunately, these first early scientists are not so easily categorized. I would encourage others to delve into the biographies of these progenitors. It is true, some were very much in the vein of this meme. But many were much more complicated individuals.

For example, Darwin is about as blue blooded as it comes. Yet Origin of Species has a very long section at the beginning where Darwin painstakingly goes over all the scientists before him that that in any small way had already discovered evolution.

Another good one is that while digging potatoes with his hands at the family farm in his native New Zealand, Rutherford got the news that he had been awarded a scholarship to study physics at Cambridge under William Thomson (Lord Kelvin).

Many other scientists came from very 'low' births. But science is a 'strong-chain' domain where only the 'correct' ideas survive. Anyone can, and did, contribute despite those obstacles.
This not.

> - Also, if cocoa farming becomes more profitable, it might encourage _more_ child labor as parents pull their kids from school to work "on the family farm".

Wtf. No? Do you pull your kids from school so they can help you at work?
That is a bit of an oversimplification of what happened. A lot of basic research was done by US labs. But it took ASML almost 20 years to convert this research into a production ready system and nobody else succeeded. And they also got some big research grants from the EU[1]

I don't think anyone is claiming otherwise.

The point of the discovery is that we have some evidence of what occurred in such attacks. What age/sex were involved, weapons used, etc. Or other useful information

> That injury pattern more likely arose from periodic, indiscriminate raids rather than a single battle...
I was answering the parent remark which was about RISC-V.

And my point is that if RISC-V achieves a significant amount of open designs and tooling then anyone who joins is roughly speaking guaranteed parity (in design - something like ISA and microarchitecture, not in foundry). Which is much better than the current situation.
I love this page because it is accessible to less techy people to demonstrate some of the real negatives, creepiness, and active effects of data collection.

I will definitely be referencing and sharing this more when I try to convince people that data collection, effective mass internet surveillance, and data hygiene actually matter. And it may give me a little ammo to respond to the people with the attitude of "why should I care? I don't have anything to hide, whatever"

wonder how it compares with postgre temporal table or just adding a `entity_history` somewhere. Or the timeline data is more intrinsic to the DB design on this one?

You can (in theory) guide an air-to-air missile in at that range remotely using an optical targeting pod on the launching fighter, it's generally more risky though because you can't immediately break contact like you can with a Meteor for example. Meteor is highly resistant to ECM however, and a remote guided missile might not be. In all cases however, any laser system you can power on a fighter jet (assuming current and near future technology) will not be able to target a manned or unmanned fighter jet in a way that a remote guided missile system can't. A laser system could be useful for close range defense.
I wish there was more data and more context.

E.g. we see data from one university – what about the others? Perhaps this grade inflation brings the grade distribution to the levels observed at other places. Or perhaps other universities are going through similar changes and Yale is no exception.

Also, the peak and a major spike happened at 2020-2021; are the pandemic, remote courses, or changes in teaching styles a factor?

Etc.
Yup. Use 'em every day.
> opposed purely because the right-wing doesn’t want to recognize a positive linked to a Democrat

It's certainly not just about who gets credit. I mean, there's also the question of whether other people's children's health is worth saving if it's going to increase a utility bill. Or the looming spectre of tax dollars spent on making someone else's life better, rather than one's own life.
It solves so many problems and makes it so easy to implement if you go this way.

But just like mentioned it is hard to convince people that it is what they actually want.

People fall into some grand illusion that everything should be always available but in reality then one person is doing changes at a time and if somehow 2 or more people have to work on something - more often than not they should be talking or communicating with each other anyway to synchronize.

Even with GIT and fully distributed development you cannot solve conflicts automagically. You still have to communicate with others and understand context to pick correct changes.
Excellent. I'm looking forward to the comparisons between US and Chinese samples. As well as the opinions of qualified individuals. It could be quite informative.
Now I feel old, I remember "Anything but sourcesafe" [0], which was a followup to "Visual Sourcesafe Version Control tunsafe at any speed", and having my trust evapourate when I found out Microsoft didn't dogfood their own version control system.

So long ago I can't remember exactly which but I was running a local cvs and/or subversion repository for my own work just to avoid issues like the above.

To get back on topic, the key thing an explicit database gives you is a purpose built-language (and data-integrity enforcement etc. if you do it properly), that everyone knows. (Or used to? SQL is getting more hidden by abstraction layers/eco-systems these days). I'm old, so I reach for my older, well understood tools over new and exciting. Get off my lawn. It may be over-architecting, but I'm also not working in maximising 'performance in milli/micro-seconds is vital' high load environments, or releasing updated software every other day.

The other issue is tool/eco-system fragmentation.

But when you're young and have the energy and mental capacity to abstract out the wahoo for effeciency/performance, you do, because you can, because its better at the time. In our day everyone was writing code to write to code which were effectively the pre-cursors to ORM's. It's just part of being young and committed to your craft, and wanting to get better at it - this is a good thing!

It's only as you get older you start to appreciate the "Less is More" around same time that job ads appear with "Must have 3 years of SQL-Sync experience" (no offence intended here). There are both costs and benefits but which and how much of each you only find out years later.
First video podcast I ever got on my iPod. Amazed I could watch movies. At least I think I got it from iTunes, might have been limewire. Who knows.
Reading this thread is great. I’m sharing the classic viral videos with a younger person now. Going through the classics like:
-double rainbow “look at that rainbow!”,
-GI joe PSA “hey kids I’m a computer, stop all the downloading”, and,
-End of the world “hoookay here’s is ze world, ROUNDDD,…” and now am remembering more by reading comments here. Many of these videos aged just fine in the era of polished-to-attract-advertising influencer “viral videos.”
Reading the quotes below, I’ll have to go back and catch H*R , seems like something I didn’t know to appreciate at the time.
The countries that have "developed" have increased pressures on less developed nations, and caused or exacerbated problemsin the areas they have exploited in order to develop.
