The most likely "Ukraine wins" scenario is a frozen conflict (e.g. Korea) in which Ukrainians can feel relatively secure about their future albeit without regaining all of their prewar territory. In this scenario, a nuclear tantrum from Russia seems extremely unlikely. Rather, they would probably cope by claiming they won and the rest of Ukrainian territory was sour grapes anyway.

Ukraine actually managing to retake all of their prewar territory might plausibly cause Russia to go totally insane and start nuking, but the way things are going it seems like a pipe dream for Ukraine to make that much progress. Maybe if some serious changes to the balance of force occurred, like a surprise admission of Ukraine to NATO, but this isn't very realistic.

(Anything more than that, some sort of "Ukrainian forces in Moscow executing Putin for war crimes" is just pure fantasy. So no matter what happens, relative security is the best anybody can hope for.)
"The point of the training was so you couldn't just be a conscientious objector to get out of hard tasks in general."

I think the point was equal duties for everyone. I read the policy that applied to conscious objectors back then and it seemed they just did a search and replace on a couple of keywords. That is how in my opinion the Grundausbildung "basic training" for conscientious objectors came to be. It contained more things that did not make any sense outside of military.

On thing was the right to receive a certain part of your pay as goods in kind - informally called Dienstbanane - banana for duty. Makes sense if you are on a battle ship for months, not so much in a hospital.

Another, almost comical, thing was the lengthy and detailed regulations about reaching the highest level of unfitness for duty (aka death), which made up a considerable part of the policy.

In practice there was not much justice though, because specific regulations implementation of the laws and regulation were clearly discourage people from going this route and involved lots of harassment.

If you have small pre-defined sets of events in data structures that compress well. That is not the case for any real system.

> And so of course if you have to optimise things, you would need to drop some information you pass to the events, but you would need to do the same for metrics (reduce the number of metrics emitted, reduce the prometheus labels,...).

Those are entirely different orders of magnitude both when it comes to size and how much usefulness you lose. In modern storage backends like Victoriametrics a counter gonna cost you around byte per metric per probe. And as you emit them periodically, that is essentially independent of incoming traffic

Capturing the requests into event/trace/whatever other name they gave to logs this month is many times that and is multiplied by traffic.

Very cool. Would play around with this in a heartbeat in the home lab, but Caddy's automatic HTTPS (ACME HTTP-01 and DNS-01 challenges) would be sorely missed.

I suppose one can supplement certbot in this setup? Or use the "highly programmable" APIs Pingora provides directly?
It will be 10+ years of seeing a variation of the exact same type of scenarios that they have seen before - which is very different then getting education and training across all disciplines - which is my entire point.

Primary care NPs are good at what they do, but what they do is very limited - most of them will admit it. Anything they haven't seen before comes along, first thing they want to do is call an ambulance and send them to the hospital or a specialist - or they will pull in an actual MD to ask them what they should do.

So if an NP has 10 years of experience working in a primary care facility - what problem does it solve to somehow 'promote' them to an MD based on that experience? Will they magically now be able to see more patients per hour? How does that solve any systemic health care system issues? It doesn't - it simply allows them to get paid like a real MD, when they aren't - so if anything, drives up costs.
I would give a simple answer: they don't care. They care about marketing and sales and Bing came "preinstalled" in zillions of computers around the world. That is enough for them. The crux of Microsoft is being harm at their ecosystem (PCs, Windows, Office, Azure, Dev Tools, etc). They are the business drivers. But even if their software and infrastructure is bad, it is used in almost all of the top companies in the world and the switch cost is currently very high.

A common approach (e.g. Cobol, Ada, Common Lisp, Haskell, Clojure, MATLAB, Julia, Kotlin) seems to be to provide two operators: One that uses truncated division, one that uses floored division. By convention, rem truncates, and mod floors.
>Apparently the tool seems to be reluctant to produce images of white people at all.

It's not that. It would have been one thing that when you said "I want a picture of 4 doctors" for the tool not to generate any white doctors at all.

The issue here is that I've read numerous reports of people saying that when they _explicitly_ specified something to the effect of "I want a picture of 4 _white_ doctors" it would straight up refuse them on the spot.

The latter is _not_ a training weights issue.

This is the broader, deeper problem.
I wish that's how mine did it, even on the hand wash/delicate setting, it still does 3 spin cycles (although I'd guess not as fast as the other modes). But more importantly, I hand wash so I can spot clean. Easiest way to spot deep stains etc is when the clothes are wet and you can hand inspect them. I'm so obsessive about this stuff i won't even accept any fade in the blacks, and no yellowing in my whites.
that price is for barracudas. then you will be lucky to replace them every 2 years.

wd gold and others that will last 5~10years are actually more expensive for 4TB ($500) because they are old stock for people that for some reason need that model.

The sweet spot for top quality HDD is always 200~300. In whatever capacity du jour. (14~20TB today)

nitipicking drive cost aside, the monthly services are the bulky of the cost.
Korean language is actually a very deep in terms of orthographic depth. Hangul makes an approximated pronunciation really easy, but doesn't and in fact can't catch the full phonetic variation of Korean language.
You do not understand. Of course I know that if I fail to cancel, then I must keep paying. I had a month's subscription. At worst I expected to pay for one extra month of subscription before I remembered to cancel. I was OK with that perceived risk and understood it.

What I did not expect: to cancel one month of subscription you must pay 6 months of subscription as a cancellation fee. Maybe you expect that, but I have seen that anywhere else and did not expect it.

I read this several years ago and was so hyped about learning korean language. Oh, characters have almost perfect phonetical mapping, I thought. How cool. Then I started really learning korean and found out that while mappings are indeed very precise, korean phonetics are very different from languages I know.

So if you were ridiculously reckless and wielded enormous power, you could try to reduce Earth axial tilt so that there are no more seasons. Problem : this also makes the equator even hotter and poles even colder.

(With even more effort you could try to increase the tilt even more, I'm not certain about all the implications, but it seems to roughly swap equator and poles ??)

Without that kind of (did I mention reckless ?) power, our future instead seems to be of the opposite of what you are asking for : in a bad case scenario, we might end up the current Ice Age (that we lived in for the last 2.6 Ma, and which roughly corresponds to the oldest known tool industry that pretty much separates us from other animals), returning the Earth into its (more) normal state, which also involves the equators and maybe even the middle latitudes being uninhabitable for Humans and maybe even for mammals in general.

So we might face a bleak future where our descendants are trying to survive in weird jungles (?) of the Siberian coast and Antarctica, where, unlike the current jungles, summers are indeed "constant light and winters completely dark". I have some doubts about whether any civilizations can rise in these conditions...

>houses (brick, stone, metal,

Houses fall apart quickly without maintenance: when roofs fail, or moisture gets in through other means, you get mold and other problems. Plumbing problems can also cause a lot of destruction. Also, earthquakes will quickly topple houses made of brick and stone.

>books and good quality paper,

Lots of books don't have good quality paper, and it falls apart after a few decades. It might not be such a problem now, but a lot of latter-20th-century books have fallen apart because of this.

>bicycle frames (metal)

Steel bike frames rust, and both steel and aluminum frames can have welds break because of the stresses of riding and use. However, most of the money in a decent bicycle is in the wheels and components, not the frame, unless you have a high-end bike (carbon fiber), and these all wear out with use.

>good quality furniture

Highly susceptible to water damage, even from drinks. Finishes get beat up with use. Wood warps with moisture changes. Solid wood furniture without veneers is probably best for avoiding ugly damage from use, but warps easier, and costs a lot.

>paintings

These only last because people are really careful with them. Even so, to be really kept in good shape they need highly controlled conditions: ask any art museum.

>anything made of glass or metal.

Glass stuff is easily broken from use.

Hm. Well I agree that humans probably arrive at 1+1 by induction first, but quickly progress to the application of formal logic. Reasoning is essential to human development.

Take a 3-year-old who's holding two pieces of candy. Say, "I'm going to take these and give you two pieces back." Then give him one piece back. He's going to start crying. Perhaps he can't explain why, exactly. But if you ask him why it's not fair, he's going to tell you that two is more than one. Ask why is two more than one: It doesn't require succession. It's a fact of the reality we inhabit. We can measure it with our hands, our eyes, its weight. We can hear two sounds, two voices at once and differentiate them (non-blocking, nonlinear processing). AIs don't inhabit any reality grounded in the physical constraints they purport to understand, therefore they can never arrive at the conclusion that 2 > 1. They just appear to "know" it because it's part of the data set.

But once you understand that 2 > 1, then 3 must be > 2. If acquisition is hardwired into our brains, then so is the capacity for logically explaining why Y > X.

> The researchers were surprised to find a significant preference for slight imperfection, or 'inharmonicity.'

Such findings always remind me of this study carried out by the well-known ergonomics professor Grandjean at ETH Zurich. It was about what most people consider to be the ideal desk height. The result was met with international skepticism, and in fact it turned out that the participants in the study were primarily people who had worked at the ETH with the federal furniture there and were therefore used to this table height as being ideal. The researchers of this study should therefore not be surprised.

I don't know how I ended up as a slow thinker but here I am. I compensate my lack of quick-wittedness by preparing, other times I just ask people to send me the stuff they need and want instead, that way I can take my time and have everything in control.

I hope this is something I can train away though, because thinking slow in-front of others is kinda embarrassing.

I totally understand what you mean by growing up on a different internet.

The mistake I made as a kid was in believing people wanted things like intellectual freedom and to contemplate things they don't agree as to potentially grow and learn something new.

People don't want that at all. I think we can see that largely, people want to be told what to think and then demonize those that think differently for entertainment. That is basically what defines our culture in 2024.

This is just the start of this new culture too. There is so much room left to run when you still have people who remember what things were like at the start of the internet.

What is gen alpha going to save the culture? I think that will be a really comical thought in 15-20 years.

We are still pretty close to the surface. Maybe I won't because of old age but as a society we are going way deeper.

FWIW, pretty sure Faulkner only wrote for Hollywood to pay the bills. Recall a story I wish I could locate about him impersonating a servant when bill collectors showed up at his crumbling family estate. He also had a stint as the night watchman at the University of Mississippi (which, unlike Hollywood, allowed him time to really write). Until The Portable Faulkner was published in 1946 most of his books were already out of print.

It's funny that you mention "yes and..." here because I've been going to as many improv lessons and jams as I possibly can over the last two months and my ability to socialize, memorise things and general mood has improved exponentially. I've literally had suicidal thoughts for years - all gone. I genuinely think modern society is really fucking us up and improv is the antidote. You're just allowed to be silly, have fun and be in the moment. It's all the social rules and fear that makes you withdrawn and slow. Improv helps you get rid of all that sludge.

The problem is that choosing clothes that will last is extremely hard for a layperson.

I have €20 shirts that have lasted for more than a decade and €100 shirts that looked like crap after a few months. Brand is not a guarantee either, I have bought superficially similar products from the same brand with radically different results (I suppose they were made in different factories). Same goes for material, there is 100% cotton clothing that is great and other is absolute crap. Over the years I have found a few brands that I more or less trust, but the process involves a staggering amount of trial and error because most brands are just either bad or inconsistent. In particular, European brands seem to be the worst offenders (and I say this as an European). American brands seem somewhat more reliable, although this might be just statistical noise from small sample or selection bias from American brands that reach Europe.

In general, I find the whole textile industry outraging. No other physical goods industry that I know has so little regard for the customer. What would happen if a brand sold 14" laptops that actually were 13" and short-circuited your whole home when plugged in? At the very least people would return them, and probably many would sue. But with clothes, it's very common to buy size 36 pants that turn out to be smaller than your size 34 pants (apparently, they haven't mastered the technology of measuring tape) and that bleed dye and spoil your whole laundry when you wash them. And we have somehow collectively decided that those obviously avoidable things are acceptable. Why?
