Is Warhammer 40K, 40 000 years after Warhammer? Warhammer seems to me to be a "LotR-world" but scrambled to not infringe copyright.

Dune and Warhammer seem to have real people, while Warhammer 40K seem to be caricatures. W40K just takes the absurdness too far for me to be able to identify with the characters. Morality does not seem to be a thing in W40K.
This is not a tax it's a fine.

Many countries have fines relative to the income of the perpetrator. If you get caught speeding as a tourist in Norway do you expect to get away without having to pay anything since you don't have an income in Norway?
And that amounts to billions? You are a weird person...

CMake is pretty great, in comparison to the older build tools for C and C++. But in comparison to any modern system (in other languages), it absolutely sucks.

I disagree, but please read my comment through because if you take the first part of the comment alone then it might read as defending Apple, when I'm really not.

That's a failure scenario though. If your application is failing a CA check against an authority you've pinned then your infra and application is already broken in ways that the extra computation is meaningless. It is your certificates or application that then need correcting.

In terms of computational overhead (and only computational overhead!), where it matters is the happy path because That's where the overhead of additional computation would affect the performance for your operational infra and thus your users (and we are talking about this specific scenario and not some more generalised discussion about TLS). If you follow the happy path then Apples change, as serious as it is, doesn't affect the behaviour or your application.

I'm not defending Apple here. Whether intended as one or not, this change is a literal backdoor. And it needs to be framed as such. Arguing it as a computation overhead is, at best, missing the significance of this change in behaviour.

So the real problem isn't computational overhead, it's the question of what signing authorities are given permissions to write certificates for your pinned endpoints that wouldn't / shouldn't have had under curl's default code and expected behaviour. ie who now has a backdoor?
Noticing anomalies isn't self-awareness, but sentences like "I suspect this pizza topping "fact" may have been inserted as a joke or to test if I was paying attention" are indicators of self awareness. Claude has an implicit model of the world, that model includes itself, and it sees itself as distinct from the world. That's all that self awareness is. If it had a physical form it might even recognize itself in a mirror

I'm on board with claiming that self awareness doesn't mean something is alive, and only implies very basic reasoning. I certainly don't think Claude is a person or even an animal. It's just that self-awareness is becoming a poor proxy for these properties
I'm kind of asking about something that would work with any kind of data representation. The hypothetical "items" table could be an S3 bucket in reality.

So perhaps Dolt could be used purely for storing the metadata (mainly the primary keys), with the original data being elsewhere. The main engineering challenge would be keeping it in perfect sync with the upstream data.

the best way to minimize future regret is to make deliberate life decisions. look at all the factors, consider options and consequences.

for example i wish i had gotten married and have children earlier.

however, looking back, i see no way i could have achieved this. there is no choice i made that i could have changed, given what i knew then, and even given what i know now.

sure there were opportunities that i missed. like this one girl that showed interest in me, that i didn't pursue.

would my life have been different if i had chosen her? absolutely. would it have been better? i have no idea. so how can i regret a decision, where i can't even assess the outcome if i had made a different choice?

the only thing to really regret are dumb decisions. the ones where you already know ahead of time that they would be dumb. like drunk driving, or stuff like that.

but most regrets, if you think them through, should turn out to be things that you probably could not have made better anyways.
> The only message that this position would send is that wars of conquest are acceptable

If the only thing that makes a war bad in your eyes is the goal of conquest, than that seems rather hypocritical in my eyes. Whether land is taken or not, what really makes a country independent is who governs it. Who cares about land, it's just soil and it's not worth human lives.

At least the citizens of eastern UA had referenda to decide if they wanted to be with Russia. I don't think we granted Iraqis or Afghans the same privilege.

This is such an absurd statement I won't waste my time debating it.

The exported games run as ordinary HTML pages, so hopefully they're hitting a minimum bar for this kind of accessibility already (tab will cycle through links, enter will work to select it).

I'm not sure what adding more support for this tech by default would look like, but I'd be happy to chat more about it - email me at v@downpour.limited ?

> I found that Dune's prose is little better than fanfic

I've read all dunes books 8n French, and the version I've read were old and weirdly written, I thought this was a bad translator. Fast forward 15 years, I mostly read books in English, and decide to give it a go again. I think it's worse. Probably my standards are way higher now for fantasy and anticipation (I do not thank you Sanderson).

Still, I now understand Dune better and now think it's a fantastic story if you manage to endure the first ten chapters.

2) Maybe they haven't see clearly how they will save/earn with the software more than it costs (marketing issue?)

3) Maybe it's explained in their complains
Because such a software is not something that I own - I'm at the mercy of the software creators, hoping that they will sell me the software as long as I need it. And they disappear more often than not, leaving me searching for something else that helps me.

¹ I really had to resist the temptation to say "hallucinates" there.
However if you say "I don't know", instead of taking an approximate truth you might not action when it's required, and you might be the 6th type of NPC, the "Knows nothing" type who because they are an NPC who doesn't want to be NPC, will take the easy path of always knowing nothing and therefore not forming an opinion at all. E.g. if you are a US citizen and you take a "I don't know" approach in Russia vs Ukraine, you'll not support Ukraine, handing power to Russia and causing more wars down the line since Russia is left free to do whatever it wants. The results down the line will be worse even if you don't realise them in the moment.

(Disclaimer: I am a NATS maintainer and work for Synadia)

The parent comment may have been referring to the fact that NATS has support for durable (and replicated) work queue streams, so those could be used directly for queuing tasks and having a set of workers dequeuing concurrently. And this is regardless if you would want to use Nex or not. Nex is indeed fairly new, but the team on is iterating on it quickly and we are dog-fooding it internally to keep stabilizing it.

The other benefits of NATS is the built-in multi-tenancy which would allow for distinct applications/teams/contexts to have an isolated set of streams and messaging. It acts as a secure namespace.

NATS supports clustering within a region or across regions. For example, Synadia hosts a supercluster in many different regions across the globe and across the three major cloud providers. As it applies to distributed work queues, you can place work queue streams in a cluster within a region/provider closest to the users/apps enqueuing the work, and then deploy workers in the same region for optimizing latency of dequeuing and processing.

Could be worth a deeper look on how much you could leverage for this use case.
Just because the switch takes time to move doesn't mean the new state doesn't take effect. I would expect the state to change immediately then the animation runs.
I'll just leave a final comment: if you restrict yourself to the arithmetic mean, then you can use Cantelli's inequality to make some claims about the distance between the expectation and the median of a random variable in a way that only depends on the variance/st.dev.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev%27s_inequality#Cante...

On the other hand, you do not actually know the (population) expectation or (population) variance: you can only estimate them, given some samples (and, quite often, they can be undefined/unbounded).

Also, as I was trying to demonstrate in my previous comment, most "averages" are poor estimators for the expectation of a random variable (compared to the arithmetic sample mean), the same way that min(data) or max(data) are poor estimators for the expectation of a random variable, so it seems a bit "dangerous" to make such a general broad claim (again, in my humble opinion).
That's what the stock market is, right?

A lot of things conspire towards productivity.

The dev tools (build, deps, project generation) are not necessarily better than everything else but they are very good.

The paradigm of Erlang that Elixir builds on is outstanding for building reliable, efficient services. It makes trade-offs for that. Trade-offs that mostly don't have downside for your average web app.

Things that begin to get complex in many ecosystems. Low latency "live" functionality and lots of concurrency are trivial and supported from the ground up.

It is a high level dynamic language. Think abstraction-level Python or Ruby. But it has these very different trade-offs.

Docs are good. Ecosystem is not as frantic as JS.

Phoenix LiveView is particularly in service of delivering things quickly. Follows a very 80/20 approach. High abstraction level. Covers most needs. Not shy about making trade-offs to avoid complexity. Much like Erlang originally.
TSA unveils first self-screening security lane at Las Vegas airport
I agree objectively there is nothing special about the tree or its clones/seedlings, or the other trees mentioned. However, I disagree it’s a silly sympathetic magic. It’s symbolism to help people deal with negative events and maintain a symbolic link. Realistically huge amounts of humanity are only symbolic links. Objectively who cares if someone is buried here, or this bit of metal is the crown of the royal family? But from a symbolic point of view they are important.
If grafting/seedings weren’t available, they would have just planted another tree, but using the same DNA or the offspring has greater meaning and helps reinforce the narrative.

This is not a proxy war, neither EU or US are interested in Russian territory. They made it clear that no Western weapons are to be used outside Ukraine. This is defensive support for a sovereign state, not a scheme to topple Putin (who is the sole aggressor in this conflict without any formal declaration of war).

Furthermore, I’m having a hard time understanding your reasoning regarding US aid.

Currently, Russia is paying an enormous price while the US risks no lifes and gets to send its old weapons to Ukraine. This might not be a winning strategy for Ukraine, but it sure sounds better than an open war between 2 major nuclear powers which puts billions of lifes at risk or draconian Russian occupation of large parts of Ukraine.

it's a little more than that - as I mentioned above you can assign xs in a case statement (or anywhere you like) as a signal to you synthesis tool when you don't care what value something is - that allows the synthesis tool to make better gates, and to cause simulations to fail if you were wrong about doing that
No, it is probably 28 to 38 thousand years in future... No one knows exactly in universe probably besides emperor... Now for most purposes dead... Full timeline isn't exact.

Warhammer world, could theoretically be single planet unseen somewhere in 40k, but more likely one of alternative universes with such as Blood Bowl.

40k suffers because most well-known character aren't well that human anymore. It goes for aliens, but also for Emperor, and Primarchs and Space Marines. Still there is lot of room for more human stories, butt they are often played for comedy or the grimdarkness. Or even almost lovercraftian horror...

As much as the default behaviour is questionable, I don't fully agree with the assessment: this is in fact a curl documentation problem.

As a multi-protocol lib, curl does not in fact implement all of them directly, instead relying on transitive dependencies which act as "backends" to outsource, in most cases, decoding the low-level bits. For some of the protocols, and for good reason, it incorporates support for multiple alternative libraries.

The downside of that approach is that it is hard, if not impossible, to ensure common behaviour across independent backends which may not cover all of the same features, provide incomplete APIs, or, such as in this case do not provide a way to patch some of its default behaviour. Libressl is not a bit-for-bit reimplementation of openssl, and are under no obligation to mimic its API fully (however convenient that would be for us all).

In such cases, and given the reluctance of upstream to fix it, curl is left with 2 possibilities: drop support for said library, or document the quirk. Given the downside of breaking user code of following the former, it should at least do the latter.

All this being said, I do agree with the main sentiment that this is a flawed approach from a security standpoint of libressl, and there's probably reason to open a CVE, but it should be on libressl.
IMO the law I would support is no automated marketing calls with AI voice impressions.

My immediate term concern for AI is enshittification.

> There is also no reason to believe Russia will go any further than Ukraine

It's exactly the opposite: Russia has no reason to stop. Arms industry is ramping up, domestic population has been beaten into submission and can't even organize a single major protest, and governments in the west are under complacent illusion that Putin will stop any moment now. Why stop at Ukraine? You say NATO and nuclear weapons. Are you going to press the button if you are afraid of sending long-range conventional missiles? Of course not.

Long shots like flirting with MAGA to delay tens of billions worth of military aid have also paid off spectacularly.

Russia is punching way above their weight because of foolish illusions about their intentions.

This is very reminiscent of the Phony War phase of WWII. Poland had been invaded, but international support for Poland was much weaker than it could've been, because UK, France and others were irrationally afraid of Germany. They had 110 divisions in the west against German 23, but did not put them into action. After the war, multiple German generals (Alfred Jodl, for example, chief of operations at German high command) said that had allied forces attacked them from the west, Germany would've held on for only 2 weeks at best. Hesitation gave the initiative to Germans and we all know how that went.

So at some point most war machinery will be automated and not carry humans inside, I think this is easy to accept. A little bit harder to accept, but what would be really cool is to just realise that if there's no humans, and the whole thing is automated, why not just simulate it?

The same way mythical armies of literature used champions to fight it out - causing less mysery, why not just simulate the war itself and figure out who wins?

I guess the main issue with this is that right now there's multiple components that help you win a war that are still super relevant, logistics, manufacturing and so on. Once algorithms become the dominant aspect and those other physically bound ones are no more, could we move war fully to the digital realm?
