It's a lateral move. Recall that the US is updating their nuclear stockpile[0]. This is not expanding the stockpile, but neither is it reducing it.

The F-35 was created to be a one-size-fits-all solution invented by the same bureaucrats who invented Full Stack Developer or the Bradley[1] with exactly the same results.

If you're talking Doomsday clock, well there is a certain country actively stating they are willing to use nuclear weapons in an ongoing conflict that you might want to consider to contextualize (which itself requires further contextualization all the way down the rabbit hole)

>That's such a different attitude compared to people today, who would be giving interviews and posting on social media why they hate something at length,

I don't think this is particularly true. A modern working writer in the Hollywood system would probably expect to be blackballed from a studio if they dissed a studio's movie. A working writer for a comic book company would likewise expect to be fired or lose career opportunities if they dissed a comic book company's output. Individual writers working in prose seem to have a bit more leeway in what they can get away with saying, but are likely to be labeled "jealous" if they write a bad review, in particular if it's of a more successful author.

And media tie in authors probably have no independence, I believe Lawrence Miles was banned from writing Doctor Who books because he once wrote a bad review of a doctor who episode.

I think the default today is forced positivity if anything.

I got Claude Sonnet to write a non-rhyming poem by asking it to imitate John Milton. But yeah, negatives don't seem to work well.

---

Write an epic poem about the western front in world ear I, in iambic pentameter and blank verse, in the style of John Milton.

Here is an attempt at an epic poem about the Western Front in World War I, written in iambic pentameter and blank verse, in the Miltonic style:

Of man's first global war, the dreadful blight

That swept across all Europe, west to east,

From Flanders' fields to Gallic shores and heights,

O'er lands between the Rhine and Meuse incised,

Where millions bled and fought in muck and rain,

And no scant ground through four long years was gained -

Sing dire, ungentle Muse, and me inspire

To speak the truth of that infernal strife.

What cause could bend man's will to such vast waste

Of youth and treasure on foul, blasted soil?

There Emperors and Kings, with rash choreplay

Of treaties broken and ambitions puffed,

Let slip the dogs of war, whose bloody maws

Fed long on flesh of Ally and of Huns.

First let me tell of that vain, stubborn ridge

Of Vimy, where the British empire's seed

Assailed again those ever-battered rocks,

And seized that bastion with their valiant blood.

Next Passchendaele's immitigable mud

Engulfed whole armies, sinking man and horse

For never a foot of that damned, sodden ground.

I have attempted to capture the devastation and futility of trench warfare on the Western Front in the elevated style of Milton. Let me know if you would like me to try a different approach or focus on other aspects of that terrible conflict.

CI is a core component of our product, but it's also a building block that we're building lots of DV-specific features on top of. In fact, one of those features is a build wrapper sort of like Make/Bazel for compiling stimuli, feeding them into simulators, and doing post-processing. Essentially what you describe in point 1 but for verification. We'll likely open-source this so other CI platforms can use it too.

For the other problems you mentioned: we're currently just handling the verification piece of the puzzle for right now, we want to do one thing really well first. We feel your pain on the SystemVerilog code generation front, we've had to interact with similarly primitive code generation mechanisms. You can only go so far with the preprocessor and what gets generated during elaboration.

Yes, you need monitoring for this case. I work on scientific workloads which can completely consume CPU resources. This failure scenario is quite real.

Not all tasks are idempotent, but it sounds like a prudent user should try to design things that way, since your system has “at least once” execution of tasks, as opposed to “at most once.” Despite any marketing claims, “exactly once” is not generally possible.

Good docs on this point are important, as is configurability for cases when “at most once” is preferable.

If you are a doctoral student you need a new advisor to remain in status. This is playing out at my institution right now, a female PhD student had had enough of the sexual advancements of her advisor, who is a favourite of the departmental chair, so she filed a Title IX complaint and needed a new advisor. There was exactly one faculty member who was in a position to take her on, an established figure close to retirement age. US immigration law is fucked up beyond reasonable.

Than stainless steel!

If you have two resistors in parallel, the current in each is proportional to the ratio of the resistances. But what if one of the resistances is zero? Then all the current goes through that resistor. So if you have a superconductor in parallel with another resistor, all the current goes through the superconductor! Doesn't matter if the other resistance is very, very low, but still nonzero.

Reportedly some undergrad thought of this.

So the superconducting layer is bonded to stainless steel tape, which is strong, not brittle, and will go down to cyrogenic temperatures without problems. Most previous superconducting "wires" had brittle ceramic insulation, which was hard to wind into magnets.

This is really clever.

I agree that there are plenty of ways competitors could differentiate themselves. But in the current market, I think there are very few competitors, and even fewer ways they currently differentiate themselves. And the most notable recent regulations would eliminate one of the more meaningful differentiations.
As I understand it, this also reflects recent decisions by The Fed. In that past, when money was cheap and easy to come by a company like BowFlex could tred water (at least a bit longer than usual).

As long as Google doesn't have keyword search it's useless to me. Bring back quotes around a series of words, with an exact match. Bring back +WORD and -WORD to include exact matches and exclude exact matches that I am _not_ interested in seeing.

I mean, I both disagree, and reject the point regardless. The vast majority of instances of vacationers could be supplied by hotels if it were easy and legal to build multi-unit hotels.

> just an adjustment of tax brackets such that people below a certain threshold pay negative tax

This makes sense, and I am totally for this, as a current "total naysayer" against UBI.

Infact, I wish that "negative tax" was the flag bearing. I am totally 100% for that idea.

I am against the notion of UBI because it is too all encompassing and I am not confident that a singular system can handle all of the variables.

In my view (and from my discussions) it's framed as:

- "everyone gets an extra $X amount a week."

- "even the rich people so why are you complaining."

- "studies have shown that worker engagement has actually risen or remained steady, hasn't dropped at all"

- " it was shown that it made everyone way happier and productive"

But where does the money come from?

"Small trials in Finland shows that they didn't need to get extra money it just happened and it's easy as that so why are you against it????"

> From the product perspective, booting another instance (say I have Ubuntu 22.04 and 18.04 both available) in ~ 1 second, can be seen, and even proved with some A/B testing, as a huge advantage.

For me at least, they went to more trouble than it's worth for that ~6-7 second gain, given that a normal systemd distro will boot in 7 or 8 seconds anyway. Maybe the difference is bigger on spinning rust. But when I used WSL regularly I was in one VM all day every day. It was always running, so I really wasn't worried about the 10 seconds it took to start up or whatever.

At the same time, their custom init setup caused compatibility issues with my distro of choice and some applications (somehow). So it didn't come for free.
Good point, and also kicked off electric semi-trucks and pickup trucks:

It's kind of funny that that image looks an awful lot like the housing of a Mazda rotary engine.

I'd be curious if MIT / Commenwealth Fusion have made any progress on their "remountable magnets" approach.

The problem is that if you have to replace parts of the reactor, the magnets get in the way. I think they found that you could just solder the ends of REBCO film to each other and even though the solder isn't superconducting, the layer can be thin enough that it doesn't matter. So, they were looking at technology to take a tokomak apart by desoldering the REBCO, then they can replace whatever parts are inside, then solder it back together when they're done.

That seemed like a pretty hard problem, and not one they're trying to solve with SPARC (which is only meant to be a cheap prototype reactor, not something designed for a long service lifetime).

> The idea that the US is somehow unique diverse is one of those deeply mistaken views Americans have about themselves.

I didn't say we were uniquely diverse, I just said we were religously diverse. Big difference. If you're going to shit on someone, at least shit based on accurate information, otherwise you make yourself look like a pretentious asshole.

> Partly this seems to depend on the region – in the US, in particular, it seems to be a big no-no

Having lived and worked in the US my entire life at various companies all over the country, religion is a huge factor in whether people take offense to it. It's not the only factor, but it is a significant one, I would guess the most significant one. Unless you have data showing otherwise, I would think you'd give my opinion at least some weight, but maybe thinking they have superior knowledge about US culture is one of those deeply mistaken views that Europeans have about themselves.

> Partly this seems to depend on the region – in the US, in particular, it seems to be a big no-no

So if it's not religion, then what is it?
That ruling is really exasperating. The judge not accepting that the size of the tetris field is part of the rules of tetris is really weird to me. The tetronimoes don't even look similar in their comparison given the constraints of shapes made of four blocks, and, like, the texture obviously looks nothing like original tetris, it's just some basic-ass rendering of a shape with some color.
On the flip side: It's so frustrating to go in search of guidance re: lifestyle changes and they don't wanna hear it, instead all that do is recommend drugs.

The two phones might have similar or even identical memory chips, but that doesn't mean the carving of the address space is the same. A more meaningful comparison would be looking at how much of those 8GB are pinned by the various components (kernel, graphic buffers, sound, camera, telephony, radios, etc.), how much is left to user and system apps, how the system is tuned for active/background processes. 8GB is just a single data point, too simplistic to draw any even remotely plausible conclusions.

I was wondering the same, and it seems like the only way it makes any sense is if you think that you really are on to something, and you want to make sure that nobody beats you to the punch. So you fudge the numbers and publish it, hoping that you, or maybe even someone else, makes it actually work, and your name gets associated with the discovery.
