Its not that wild. That technology is likely used on certain military equipment.

I was certainty something not tested at that scale but it wasn't a crazy thing to think about.

They are not ablative.

That just wrong. Starship uses mostly welded studs steel frame. Totally different from Shuttle.

They have sufficient aerodynamic control. What evidence do you have that they don't? They have shown simulation of this before. I'm gone go with SpaceX on this unless you show me some simulation that shows insufficient control.

Who is "we" and "them" in your statement?
OP here. We don’t specify, but it’s big enough that it’s not reasonable to do a dump and restore style upgrade.

The strategies in the post should work for any size database. The limit becomes more a matter of individual table sizes, since we propose using an incremental approach to synchronizing one table at a time.
None of those had a massacre like Oct 7 with 1200 dead (and as a proportion of Israeli population count that makes it proportionally more devastating than 9/11 for Israel, not too mention it was also more cold blooded and barbaric in methodology).

A better example is eg Mosul which had a far higher death toll, as well as other Isis warzones.

Plus none of those threats are anything like Gaza (and indeed Jenin) which is 5 minutes drive from Israeli towns and so a far greater persistent threat.

Plus those terrorists aren't part of a pattern of repeated wars by neighbouring countries for the same cause that Israel had to endure since its founding.

... amongst many other differences
As I know nothing about TableGen, can someone explain when you would reach for this tool? Perhaps even links to simple examples?

The origins of the Singularity notion is interesting. But I find it amusing that we could think Singularity is near (mostly) on the basis of some LLMs. Unless we can create a true AGI (It is difficult to precisely define that true Scotsman, I know.) we are no where near that singularity. Even if a true AGI is invented, I have no reason to believe that the limits of physics don't apply. Yes it will "invent" a few things quite fast, like say Schockly to M3max in a day, but then what? More importantly why? I think it will either just fizzle out due to resource limitation or kill us all to optimize the production of paperclips. Either way, I or we will never see the other side of Singularity.
> Also, I didn't limit government protection to police vs. ordinary crime. Government also has responsibility for national defense, border control, gathering intelligence abroad, preventing terrorism, etc.

Sounds like we largely agree on the earlier points, this where it gets to my admittedly less common/popular opinions. I don't agree with standing militaries, if we're under direct threat and our people are willing to fight then the government's role should be to coordinate and supply this effort.

I also don't agree with most border controls, before enforcing solid borders we should have melted down the Statue of Liberty and sent it back to France (who ironically also doesn't believe in sending them your hungry, poor, or weak anymore). We continue to chase our tails attempting to close borders but never seriously consider the motivations leading to mass migration. If we can't feasibly close our borders we need to reconsider whether entitlement programs are worth the tradeoff and sustainable when someone can walk across the border and add to those budgets. I really don't mean to say I have the answer on what we should do, only that there's a fundamental challenge between wanting to ensure access to what we deem as core necessities when all it takes is physically being here and we can't effectively control borders.

With regards to terrorism, I'm of the opinion that terrorism can't be defeated through primarily military means. Terrorism is a form of psychological warfare against a population, you defeat that by not allowing one-off attacks to stoke fear and drive to over reactions. If we only learned one lesson from two decades of war in Afghanistan it should be that, when it comes to non-state actors, cutting off one head does in fact lead to multiple new heads popping up.
I wonder if unrealistic optimism leads some people to accept the risks of pursuing careers in politics, and if this unrealistic optimism inversely correlates with cognitive ability? This certainly seems to relate to the numbers of politically naive people in Congress.

You're right, and they would be right in thinking that way too. Nothing wrong with that, of course. Thing was that they weren't even thinking of that direction, at all - internal, external, partnership, nothing; Dead end, and authors were just guns for hire, zero input on that. It wasn't their property anymore. I wasn't brazen enough to offer talks towards the dark elf immediately. Idea, which to be honest lingered for maybe a month before initial contact was shot down immediately, was to start with something smaller to test the (production and market) waters first like Cleric Quintet which could work but it could also open the forgotten realms brand into the TV world. Anyways, nice remembering this past life and an anecdote.

you misspelled incorrect.

But honestly, there is so many things wrong in his review that show he does not know anything about Dune, it look like this review is only for him to mention how much he liked the Lynch movie.

Only taking a look in the first four paragraphs.

Movie take place in year 21,267 not 10,196, it is in-universe year 10,196 AG, that mean after the navigator guild was formed that was when the calendars were reset.

The name of the substance is Melange not Spice and it is not a mineral, it is basically sand-worm shit.

He miss so much about why Leto was given Arrakis and why the Harkoneens took it back and completely miss the fact that it was the plan all along, i think this probably will be more clear in the next part, although it is mentioned by Leto to Paul that he knew it was a trap.

Paul never came to believe he was the messiah since he was not supposed to be, and surely not in the first movie. He will use the Bene Gesserit prophecies in his favor knowing full well the damage it will cause in the universe. But all that will take place in the second part so not sure why he is even mentioning.

The Kwisatz Haderach was not meant to be the savior of house Atreides and the Freemen like he say in the forth paragraph.

He make fun of Paul vision including Chani, first his dreams are the early signs of his prescience or his ability to see the future, so it is expected he would see her as she will play a important role in his future other then being his concubine and the mother of his children, she is the reason why Paul will rejected the Golden Path, his son will then accept it and became the god-emperor that will rule for 10,000 years. second, he dreaming of her is even in the books that is the source material although he keep forgetting it and things it is the Lynch movie.

He keep dismissing things that are in the book because they where not in the Lynch movie like this was a remake of the Lynch movie and not a completely separated and independent adaptation of the same source material.

The Lynch movie has a ton of problems as well, it had to cut many things to make the book fit into a 2h movie and it is one of the reasons it was a failure at the time, sure it achieved cult status by now, but it is not a movie without problems.

Also why Villenueve movie is so long that it had to be split in two and even with almost 6h they had to cut stuff from the books. It sure has its problems but it is way better then the Lynch movie.. hell, even the John Harrison series is better then the Lynch movie in my opinion.
Israel has most definitely not been unilaterally tolerating rocket attacks

Israel has bombed Gaza multiple times, way before Oct 7, it’s killed people in peaceful protests, it has boasted Hamas to avoid a peaceful resolution of a Palestinian state and it continues to expand illegal settlements with the help of the IDF in the West Bank. All of that on top of forcefully taking over the land to establish the country in the first place

If anything, Israel has been the main aggressor, attacker and killer for over 70 years

To pretend otherwise is incredibly ahistorical

You can't. First, here's a lemma:

Given three distinct lattice points (points with integer coordinates) A,B,C in the plane, either ⦟ABC is a right angle or tan ⦟ABC is rational.

Proof: Assume that ⦟ABC is not a right angle. If either line AB or BC is vertical, rotate the plane by 90°. Then at least one line is horizontal, and the other can't be vertical, because ⦟ABC is not a right angle.

Let x and y be the angles AB and BC make with a horizontal line. Then ⦟ABC = |x - y|. The tangents of x and y are rational, because the points have integer coordinates. Then |tan ⦟ABC| = |(tan x - tan y) / (1 + tan x tan y)|, which is rational.

The hat has angles of 120°, and tan 120° = -√3, which is irrational, so you can't draw the hat with lattice points, no matter how you scale or rotate it.

Please don't post in the battle style in this thread, as I explained at the top of the thread. It's particularly important with this painful and volatile topic.

You shouldn't be doing that generally on HN, either, and unfortunately your comments (as I've been attempting to communicate to you) have swung too far in the flamewar direction in recent months (or maybe the last year or two, I'm not sure). You've been a good HN contributor for a long time before that, so if you'd please revert to status quo ante, we'd appreciate it.
Thanks dang! I normally do this, but just thought the quote from Tim to The Verge was interesting too.
OP here: we looked at this and were not confident in manually advancing the LSN as proposed, and detecting any inconsistency if we missed any replication as a result. Table by table seemed more reliable, despite being more painstaking.
I would need manual, interactive control of the rotation to have any hope of understanding even the 4-cube*. An automatic rotation animation is stupefying magic to me -- pretty, but I'm not learning anything.

* Even ordinary 3-dimensional cubes have surprises -- such as that some cross-sections the cube are regular hexagons.

Hamas has said that civilians are responsibility of UNRWA and ICRC. This has gotten them in for some criticism from said civilians.
> The practice relies on two false principles: the "law of similars," aka "like cures like," meaning a substance that causes a specific symptom in a healthy person can treat conditions and diseases that involve that same symptom, and the "law of infinitesimals," which states that diluting the substance renders it more potent.

These "principles" are actually true sometimes, to a certain extent in specific cases. Vaccines, for example, or hormesis. Similarly, bloodletting as practiced in the Middle Ages was actually the right treatment for a few specific diseases. But when these concepts become disconnected from empirical reality and turn into sacred doctrine, that's when the trouble starts.
That would be "association."

But there is also a great deal of extremely mercenary behavior, in today's workplace (not just tech).

Yeah except the real situation is that you have the "choice" of going to the one and only shop that sells <thing> and you are given the "choice" of paying extra, or be forced to sit through a timeshare pitch before you can even pick the thing off the shelf.

Except the timeshare pitch is hyper-personalized specifically for you based on your entire internet history everywhere and is designed to yield the maximum chance of manipulating you into falling for it.

As a consumer you have easy options to block out the sales pitch, except the store who has a monopoly on the thing you want is now trying to scare users into disabling their ad blockers. The users that do this are disproportionately more likely to be less versed in how these things work and are thus more likely to fall for the scam.

Yes, it's a protection racket. It's just got a funny hat on this time.
I don't think a topic like this can be left to experts, and in any case we don't treat any other topic on HN like that. Of course that means people can be wrong; most of us are mostly wrong about most everything.
it does not seem odd to me at all that we could create intelligence, and even possibly loving grace, in a computer.

I'm not sure why there would be cognitive dissonance- sure, my tools may be primitive, but I can also grab my chisel and plane and see that it's similar in form to chisel and plane from 2000 years ago (they look pretty much the same, but these days they're made of stronger stuff). I can easily imagine a Real Programmer 2000 years from now looking back and thinking that python, or even a vacuum tube, is merely a simplified version of their quantum matter assembler.

Even if there was severe employee misconduct, in most US states it wouldn't be legally possible to claw back wages that had already been paid to a W-2 employee unless there was a specific contract in place allowing the employer to do so. A few executives have such contracts with clawback provisions (mainly in financial services) but they really aren't a thing for regular employees. If the employee had actually stolen money through fraud or embezzlement then the employer could file a civil suit to recover damages, but wages are a separate issue entirely.
I have a question for the HN community. What exactly was Szilard's contribution to the Manhattan project, aside from the initial letter that started it all? I know that Szilard was the first to envision the idea of chain reaction, and got a (secret) patent for that, but at the time it was more or less idle speculation. When the project actually got going, I know he collaborated with Fermi on the Chicago pile reactor, but 99% of the accomplishment was due to Fermi, not to Szilard. After that, Szilard remain a towering figure inside the project, but did he actually contribute anything?

> The primary driver for Russia's invasion of Ukraine is Putin's fantasy of a restored Russian empire:

That's the kind of thesis a 10 year old comes up with for a history paper the night before its due. It does not stand up to the slightest scrutiny.

> Putin's actions have had the direct consequence of strengthening and expanding NATO. It has also guaranteed that Ukraine will join the EU and eventually NATO.

I was very clearly presenting the thought process prior to the war, it's only in hindsight that we know NATO came out ahead from all this. All indications immediately before the invasion were that Ukraine would get steam rolled and NATO would look impotent.

> The only "wedge" that exists between the US and Europe is someone like Donald Trump.

Again, laughably false. This may come as a surprise but there's more to geopolitics than just American presidential elections.

The armed struggle hasn't done them any favours, yes. Neither has peace (Oslo).

Hamas agreed to 1967 borders back in 2017. PLO has long given up armed struggle.

A typical racist characterisation.

Arab male or female is continually fair game to either poke fun at, or more seriously, be confined to and judged by a representation that is either inherently bad, angry, irrational or stupid, misogynistic or repressed, exotic or lascivious.
