>Anyone know how .mil aircraft would interpret being tracked by a 6 GHz radar build by a civilian(yes I am aware that his estimated max distance is 1200m, assume he increased that by a factor of 10 with larger antennas or something)?

No specific knowledge, of course, but I'd imagine it wouldn't trigger a serious threat warning. Military TWRs are highly tuned systems dedicated to the threat environment they're expected to operate in.
Less ceremony than Rust (and no ball-breaking fighting the borrow checker), a lot faster than Go, way more mature than Zig, and with more immediate compatibility with tons of code, more support, more developers, and more mature compilers than any of the above.
Until pricing in the US exceeds the rest of the developed world, you won't convince me of this. After all, we are among the top countries that use credit cards.
This isn't really true for Connecticut, because the law allows for a "cash discount" which is functionality identical.

https://portal.ct.gov/DCP/Legal/Credit-Card-Surcharge

>Connecticut law prohibits a business from charging a customer a surcharge for using one payment type (usually credit card) over another payment type (usually cash). However, the law does allow a business to offer a discount if a customer chooses to use one type of payment (e.g., cash) over another type of payment (e.g., credit card). Receiving the discount is not the same as adding a surcharge. As long as the discount policy is clearly written and presented to the customer and the final receipt shows a discount, it complies with Connecticut law

No tux, no bucks!

Wait, that would be the other way around.
> You're missing the very important detail that there are multiple combined fees, and you are trying to compare a rebate for one of those fees to the combined fees.

The combined fees are the cost of accepting credit card payments. The entire collection of them is avoided by accepting cash.

> Commodity markets literally are an oversimplification.

Only in the sense that everything is an oversimplification.

If OPEC cuts oil production, the price of gas goes up all over, because it's a commodity and the gas stations can't just eat the price increase. If the DRAM companies were colluding to constrain production and they get caught and have to stop, the price of DRAM goes down all over, because it's a commodity and buyers will take the lowest price. But if the price of DRAM goes down, that doesn't mean the price of iPhones go down, because iPhones are not a commodity -- only Apple makes them -- and then they don't necessarily have to lower their prices just because their costs went down.

Real competitive markets can actually behave like idealized commodity markets, or as close as makes no difference under reasonable sets of assumptions.

> You are conflating unassociated fees

If they're unassociated then how does a small business pay only the interchange fee and not the rest of them? If the answer is that you can't, they're not unassociated.
To be fair, or maybe only in my opinion (but i had a teacher who agreed with me so :/), from at least 2008 until at least 2012 (So from when i discovered how nice it was until after i quit using word/openoffice entirely and only used Latex), OpenOffice/libreoffice templating features were more powerful than word's, although less intuitive.

Gdoc is shitty however and i don't see how/why i want to use it over any competitors. I think i prefer Nextcloud's editor, even without the privacy/data mining consideration, and i really think that could be improved.

Gdoc is better than Jira and Confluence editor though, and better than the standard redmine editor froma few years ago (the non-markdown one), so that's nice.
Maybe you loaded the comments in the window of time where I had not yet added some additional details.

I am specifically advocating for using monitors that connect using USB-C connectors and the DisplayPort protocol.

I am not a big fan of the DP connector itself. I have a monitor that supports it, and I’ve used it with that one and others in the past. But USB-C connector (like one of my other monitors has) and DisplayPort protocol is far superior.
Some institutions have requirements that files don't leave your computer or network
The other parts aren't much better either. Calc is unbearably slow on large spreadsheets.

It's always been a janky and stuttery experience and the massive improvements in computer performance (CPU, SSD etc) have never managed to bring it up to par, you can see how much faster Word loads even on a simple document compared to Writer. It's been that way since before it became open source: Star Office made you look at its splash screen for a decent while back in the day.
This is true. Among other things, I do a lot of label printing and the tools in MS Word are miles more mature. You get these same types of responses when people list off all the alternatives to Photoshop. Just not the same.
I did not read the report, but one way you can improve the round trip efficiency is to not let the sand cool below, let's say 1000 °C. You pay a one-time penalty of heating the sand to this temperature and then you operate the storage only between 1000 and 1200 °C. This reduces the capacity of the "sand battery", roughly by a factor of 6. But sand is (reasonably) cheap.

I have seen another proposal where instead of sand the material would be graphite, which can be heated to more than 2000 °C. Graphite also has a huge heat conductivity. But it's more expensive.
They haven’t said specific details publicly, but yeah, it has for a few years now.
None at all. I sold mine for less than it was worth to pay it forward to the next generation of pizza guy. I did so after it got me out of where I was from on my way to where and whom I am today. I'm confident it did the same thing for that next pizza guy.

For the right people, these things are tools, not financial burdens.

Leasing a new BMW, now that's definitely a financial burden and is not this.
This is the truth.

Containers as a bag that you put shitty software in to isolate it from the rest of your system and its peers...

The whole downstream, vs upstream, who should package what and where do you get software is showing us what the real problem is.

Software, should be easy to instal.

Containers are a terrible way to do that.
The problem remains - you want to reduce the privacy an LLC provides - but in the end, it's all individuals who are protecting their privacy with an LLC.

So by reducing the privacy an LLC provides, you are reducing the privacy of individuals.
All the plugins for excel, word and powerpoint integration. And we have to be able to send attachments with actual files, not links. Law firms and banks are pretty set in their ways here. It has to be office and windows.
Google sheets doesn’t remotely compare to excel for serious financial modeling.
The problem with black-and-white thinking is that it's too simplistic to apply to the great majority of real-world problems.

Safe C provides an incremental migration path from unsafe C to safe C. And you don't need to completely rewrite, but instead address the issues flagged, which will often be a lot less work and risk than an actual rewrite in a new language. (This seems obvious to me, but apparently not?)
When the reverse happens, it generally doesn't make the news.
It does not because it only counts as a skydive if you exit an aircraft. If you're jumping off of land, it's BASE.
> What features in Office are essential for those users that you don't get from Google?

Backward compatibility with existing documents that are already in Word. Also, for those knowledge workers who aren’t in tech, the high likelihood that the recipient can open the document with correct formatting.
> TBH, containers are the wrong way of doing things

And yet, people still use VMs because the majority of software isn't perfect and pollutes whatever system it's running on to some degree. Just earlier today I saw a friend look at an install script for some software, which was set on freely installing apt packages, replacing the installed Node version, purging the apt repositories on the system (literally "rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*", wtf) and a lot of things that no decently written piece of software should do on its own, at least not without explicit confirmation, but you still sometimes see out in the wild. The friend was reviewing the script after running it and wondering why their system was trashed.

You often need some separation between what is your host system that needs to be pretty stable and the flaming mess that is whatever software that you'll install on it for productivity/entertainment/profit reasons, especially with easily configurable resource limits, custom port mappings, custom storage directories without access to the host system by default and eventually even horizontal scaling. Containers just happen to have really good DX around all of that and feel like the right way of doing things, in a flawed world.
That's shockingly good. It reminds me of a mix between Kaibutsu by YOASOBI and The Fox's Wedding by MASA. (Warning: both links are very anime. Nothing too bad)

That seems to be the key. If I, as a peon, owed child support or something, the government has many ways to squeeze that pittance out of me, including asset seizure and wage garnishment. But if instead I was a millionaire business owner owing $millions, I can just... not pay it. Have my lawyer whisper some arcane incantation to a judge, and suddenly the government is all "Oh, woe is me! How can we possibly get this money??" Two different systems, folks.
Haven't read Morality Meat, but PKD's The Pre-persons isn't great either. I truly love PKD but it's one of his weakest, I-am-on-a-soapbox short stories.

>the only "problem" with C is management's expectation that production software can be written by people who have only half learned the language, and that is a problem irrespective of which language we are talking about.

Obviously that's not "the only problem", else there wouldn't be huge style guides forbidding tons of practices to make programs safe for NASA and other such uses, aimed at the expert C programmers hired there.

Also obviously that is not "a problem irrespective of which language we are talking about", unless half-knowing the language has the same impact and the language have the same footguns, which is nowhere near true for other languages versus C. You can "half know" Java and not ever get a buffer overflow. You can know C quite well and still get all kinds of dangerous bugs into the code.
Suggestions based on ignorance of the product isn't the best place to start.
The Alex Jones company bankruptcy is ongoing. Courts take time. The debtors have to agree to what they are willing to accept (and in the case of AJones, he is still defending against other lawsuits that might grow his group of bankruptcy debtors).

In regards to collecting, if a business is still open and collecting revenue, it’s a fairly easy target for collecting _something_. Whether a full $40 million judgement on a person/company can be collected is a different beast. There is a tremendous incentive to throw lots of billable hours at lawyers to appeal, or lots of billable hours to financial advisors to hide assets (shell companies, offshore jurisdictions, family members, fake identities, hard currency / commodities, etc). There is some evidence that AJones has done some of this (and that the Trump company at the heart of the NY fraud case has tried to migrate to FL and send assets to other entities).
This seems like a WeWork affiliate marketing submarine piece?
Yes, except for items and doing better in the pack.
What's insane to me is that Kagi is so good for the relatively little funding they have. Maybe when they have the subscriber numbers of Netflix they can reduce their monthly fee (not that I even personally think they need to), but for now I'm quite happy to pay them for a good service.

I'm increasingly a big fan of very direct revenue models. I pay for the product. I am *not the product*.

It's not just search either, their summariser tool is great, their Mac browser Orion is really impressive, and their attitude in general - eg. promoting signal over noise in everything they do (see Kagi Small Web), is just extremely refreshing.
Presumably Amazon ended the program because it was not profitable and had no prospect of becoming profitable soon. If it was already fully automated and only employed humans for QC and/or AI training purposes, then it's hard to see why they would have killed it.
Southern Indiana has lots of hills and forested areas, including the Hoosier National forest. The Great American Rail-Trail mostly goes through the upper third of the state, however, so you miss that and are mostly in the corn belt section of the state. Its very flat and mostly farm land. Which is likely why the railways were built on that route anyways.

I personally can find flat farmland quite beautiful, but I can imagine biking through it for days might get dull.
ORLY? My understanding is that LiMux failed because the then mayor was trying to get Microsoft to move to Munich.
What about data races?

(I can't find anything about it in this page)

Avoiding UB in single threaded programs is the easy part. It's harder for a low level language like C, but not too hard.

But avoiding UB in multithreaded programs is very very hard. Many "safe" managed languages have UB when you misuse synchronization mechanisms, like Go.

Some languages Java and OCaml manage to avoid UB when you have data races. They do so by disallowing some compiler optimizations. OCaml is the better one in this regard (see the paper "bounding data races in time and space")
In the last couple of months I checked dozens of implementations and, somehow, these protections were not implemented (or implemented incorrectly) even in major HTTP/2 servers

I'll speak to the elephant in the room: this is what happens when you have an entire developer culture so used to automatically dynamically expanding everything and not caring how big it is, that they never think about how big something can be.

This class of problems isn't necessarily restricted to HTTP/2, although its gross complexity probably contributes; it's just that in HTTP/1.x times, more developers would be used to languages like C where managing buffer lengths takes constant attention, and no one would bother to make header allocations expand limitlessly when they should be a few K in total at most for the whole request.

There's much less wear and tear on our bodies, now that we have roofs and HVACs and clothing and cars to move us around. That's how we live till 80 instead of 50. That plus nobody trying to hunt and eat us.

Animals also live significantly longer in zoos.
Yes I can start them on the command line, but then I'm developing a process to do that on boot (which isn't terribly difficult on MacOS but who knows how long it will remain that way). And if I need to do that, why not spend my time just setting up a Pi and let it run, and same myself $200 a year?
I hope your comment doesn't get downvoted too heavily, because I think you raise good points.

What seems to be happening, and is happening in this document by W3C as well, is that the social value of information and the economic value of information are being conflated. Social media has created markets for creative works where these two values become entangled.

Another way to say this is that commercial art and fine art are different things, but they are treated the same by the web and perhaps they shouldn't.

When someone creates fine art, they are not creating art for the sake of its economic value. They are creating a work of art for its social value, and want it distributed as widely as possible.

When someone creates commercial art, they are creating art specifically for its economic value. That value may be enhanced by wider distribution, but it may also be diluted by wider distribution.

Because these two types of art need to be treated differently by the web, we can't have one solution that benefits both kinds of art.

We need both copyright to protect commercial artworks, but we need a system that encourages wide distribution of the collective information of humanity, allowing equal weight to everyone's ideas, outside of their economic value.

i.e. Kafka's ideas are more valuable to humanity than Beavis and Butthead.

This W3C draft doesn't take that into account. It needs to. We need to think beyond the needs of artists who rely on social media to ply their wares, while also taking into account their needs. We should not, however, codify the social media influencer art market, because that is not a market worth protecting. It's an aberration that encourages people to share personal information and works that benefit the platforms and harms society. We want to build something that benefits society and the individuals who contribute artworks that benefit society today and into the future. And if you can find a way to make a buck in the middle there somewhere, we should encourage that, too.
It says that they are willing to kill up to 20 innocent people for e en the lowliest Hamas stooge in addition to wrongly 1 in 10. That is in order to correctly kill 9 its justified to kill 200 innocents adjacent in addition to 1 yahoo who was poor fellow who was miss-targered.
Tailwind Battle – Like Cssbattle.dev for Tailwind
Hey guys, been working on a new platform for front end developers who love TailwindCSS. It was inspired by CSSBattle however the goal is to use Tailwind to construction the components and replicate the target image.

It's only just launched so your feedback would be much appreciated. Will be adding lots more features and gamification over the coming weeks with your help.

> It seems that fundamentally the only way to guard against these is to police the output of the model (2nd model?),

The problem with policing the output is you can often sidestep it. Your filter might block instructions for producing molotov cocktails, but will it work if I ask the LLM about roducing-pay olotov-may ocktails-cay?
Definitely would recommend to use docker though. Can be just a bash script.

Running complex software with a lot of dependencies bare-metal is recipe for disaster nowadays, unfortunately.
lol the latest Microsoft Outlook removed a ton of features. Like for instance, you can no longer drag and drop emails and attachments!

All of the above things you talk about have solutions in the Open Source space.
This seems like ignoring the previous comment, so take it or leave it, the previous points are still there.
This isn't about statistics. This is simple fact that Hamas has used children, including young children. It definitely uses 17yo and 16yo. If they used 9 (out of?) back then this simply means they don't care about using children in war.

There's things like making children lie in graves so they get accustomed to being martyrs, this is the longer story: https://aish.com/the-jihadist-who-converted-to-judaism/

I think it's important to understand this to know who Israel is dealing with.

On Israel's side of this I think it's clear Israel has been using fairly indiscriminate force at times. However even if Israel used has the most discriminate use of force a lot of children would get killed.

What do you propose Israel can do against Hamas? What would you do when 30,000 combatants are sitting on your border, embedded with civilians, in civilian clothing, want you to kill as many civilians as possible, use them as shield while launching attacks at you? Half of the population is younger than 18yo. What do you do when thousands of rockets are launched at you from densely populated places? Let's reset to Oct 8th, how do you wage this war?

If they wanted to be secretive, then they just wouldn’t say they have a CIA director as an advisor.
I believe that day has already come: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v20.x/api/worker_threads.html...

When you create a Worker with the worker_threads module, Node spawns a new V8 isolate in the same process: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v20.12.1/src/node_worker...

It’s much more isolation than C threads – the entry point for a thread is a whole module (not a function), and threads must use message passing to communicate. They can share memory, but only via [Shared]ArrayBuffer objects. They're in the same OS process, but each have their own global process object.

But I think it'd meet your need for an in-process isolated execution environment, which you can terminate from the main thread after a timeout.
Really? Less racism than towards blacks? You must never have heard Israelis speak about Palestinians.

I really wonder, if you think this is what Israelis think, what do you think Palestinians think? You know, the ones that have been murdered by the tens of thousands. The ones that have been made refugees in their own country.
