You don't handle a dji dropping mortar rounds the same way you handle a fpv drone with a rpg warhead strapped under it nor the same way you handle a fleet of bayraktar pounding you from 5km above. I'm just saying you're mix and matching things which shouldn't be mixed and matched, the premise is wrong, no one is going to shoot down a $50 dji with a missile and no one will try to shoot a bayraktar with a shotgun. Just like you don't shoot a tank with a rifle or a moving plane with an unguided rocket launcher, you need the right tool for the right job

You can scramble them, shoot them with bullets, catch the drone/projectile with nets, shoot them with missiles, &c.

Not really. Brazilian courts were always highly political - its members are appointed by presidents, after all. The situation has become more volatile recently, due to the polarised politics.

Courts should be a tad more neutral than they are being right now. The people being investigated, and the journalist reporting it, are well known bad faith misinformation spreaders. But it is not up to a judge to find a reason to stop them. They need to be investigated and prosecuted, not banned from a couple of non Brazilian platforms.

If you aren't getting to the first call there is something up with your resume. Are you applying directly or working with a recruiter? Applying directly is a roll of the dice in my experience. I have gotten just one job in tech by applying directly of the many I have had and it was a total surprise. For all others I have worked with a recruiter.

From a hiring manager perspective, I'm more interested in experience, level of ownership in past work, and good performance on technical screening questions. I rarely look at GitHub profiles and candidates rarely list them.

From my personal experience, what you have publicly available in your GitHub can only hurt you unless you are the owner of a successful open source project. As you said, you have a lot of half-baked stuff. It's probably not worth making public.

Will the lack of online presence be an issue? Maybe or maybe not. Some people seem to care a lot about whether or not someone has a LinkedIn and whether or not they keep their job history up to date. I do not personally care, but I will say LinkedIn is a low effort investment of your time. As much as I don't care for it, I have landed multiple jobs thanks to having a reasonably up to date profile that recruiters look for.
Possibly some people's eyes hurt for random reasons on any given day, but they think it might be the eclipse whether it was or not.
> So, one place has us separated from everyone, in a lake of fire, and burning non-stop. Satan will be there, too.

This is a curious statement, as the subject is Dante, and the "Inferno" shows us not a huge lake of fire with all the damned burning within it, but rather a diverse Hell in which one's torment reflects one's vices. This has a theological resonance, as the very nature of Hell is first and foremost the fulfillment of one's corrupt and sinful desires, it is God letting you have exactly what you want, your dark little heart's desire (the logical outcome of having been created a free being; Matthew 6:21[0] captures this quite nicely). When you die, your orientation becomes fixed forever, and if it isn't on the Summum Bonum, the Highest Good, the only thing capable of satisfying Man's heart, then it will be some lesser real or apparent good. This is the consummation of utter hopelessness and despair.

And what is at the very center of Hell in the "Inferno" if not a lake of fire? An absolutely frigid place, a frozen lake, with Satan lodged permanently in the ice up to his waist, with every flap of his wings making the place even colder. Fire is actually a better metaphor for God (even when we speak of the fire of God's just wrath, a kind of friction resulting from our evil will colliding with the Will of God). If God is the Logos, and Logos is like fire, and God so often is represented by fire, by its dynamism, then the opposite is the lifelessness of sin, a world of ice and death, a cold void.

This has a range of 400+km (100kmph = 4 hours to respond).

It's purpose to maintain an accurate picture of the sky, tracking many objects at the same time at different altitudes. The radar itself is just part of the picture - its data is integrated with command and control, where decisions are made about the picture coming in, and the data is blended with other sources to get a more accurate picture (not sure if bird or drone? check the video feed data, or a number of other sources).

The unit itself looks at the behavior of the object (speed, acceleration, routes, elevation, radar profile) to determine the likely class of the object (birds don't fly like drones nor do they have the same radar profile).

As far as mitigating threats, command and control again makes those decisions. It depends on the context of the fight and the resources available. In the hypothetical situation you think a kamikaze drone is headed your direction, the radars are mobile - one option is to simply move. You may know (or have a good guess) as to the specific threat - how it is controlled. You might take out drone communications with EW. You might misguide a precision munition by spoofing GLOSNAS/GPS so that it drifts and misses its target. If it is flying at a low elevation, you might be able to take it out with heavy machine gun fire. You might decide to let it strike, due to cost-benefit ratio.

It really gets down to specifics: What's the air asset? What the threat? What's the mission? What's the battle context? What are the resources?

Regarding a drone having zero command & control due to AI - most of the "AI" in drones is simple straight line flying for a couple hundred meters (so called "terminal flight guidance"). This is because enemy electronic warfare cover may jam communications channels for the drone as it approaches closer to a target. As cool as it sounds to have fully autonomous drones making complex decisions, piloting around obstacles in all weather conditions in 3D space, tracking moving targets, etc - this isn't the threat from drones right now.
Does this still run AOT built code at fully optimised native performance? Your FAQ's mention that the App & Play stores allow interpretted code to be downloaded, but not native code.

A key difference from your examples is that the enemy doesn't have the capability to simply (and risk-free) send an arbitrary number of bullets at your soldiers' hearts or RPG rounds at your vehicles; the major "cost of delivery" is not the bullet/RPG but the trooper (and his risk) bringing the gun to get a chance to make a targeted shot with the bullet/RPG.

If bullets could leave the factory and magically fly straight at your soldiers, expensive single-use ballistic plates would not be a practical solution - you'd simply run out of them as you can't possibly produce as many of them as the enemy can make bullets.

Yes and no. Trade is good. Trade imbalance (i.e. more imported than exported), not good. When money leaves the country that money can't be used within the country. For example, the USA's longer running imbalance has financed the development of other country's industries, and hollowed out the USA.

You don't raise a standard of living simply by importing cheap shit. In the short term, it might appear a positive, but over the longer term it's a false god.
This is not a popular opinion but I've become more sympathetic to the idea that Nintendo has some obligations to defend their intellectual property, and that "vigorous" legal defense is partly why they're still around and still very profitable. If yuzu didn't want to get a takedown notice, they shouldn't have included software for breaking encryption. That's the specific illegal thing they did, and to be fair to Nintendo, they did have people playing pirated copies of Tears of the Kingdom on day 0. There's clearly damages here.

I think there should be some kind of compromise here where people are allowed to preserve older games (by rom dumping and archiving them) that have reached a certain age and enter the public domain. It's obviously a bad faith argument to say you should be able to play a pirated copy of a game on the day it came out. Nintendo should have an enforced monopoly on their ip for a fixed amount of time. But I should also be allowed to do whatever I want with my 3ds and the games I own for it after they end long term support. If I can't realistically purchase a game at retail from Nintendo, I should be allowed to access the game through other means.
I interpreted Lewis' statement as claiming Milton's Lucifer, within the story exists in a cloud of his own lies and propaganda. (As opposed to labeling Milton's work as lies and propaganda in the real world.)

Just for contrast, imagine a Lucifer-character that said: "Yeah, we didn't part on good terms, and I dispute a lot of what's said about me... But I've learned to accept things I can't change and I invite you to watch and judge me by my works."
It is impossible to address hosts behind NAT. Only the public IPv4 address is visible.

It might have been possible to extend IPv4 by having each NAT hop add the internal IPv4 address as option header. Then it would be possible to refer to inside host directly with a list of addresses.

That isn't worth doing now because it would require rewriting everything to deal with the new protocol. For one thing, lots of NAT boxes remove all the option headers. The new protocol wouldn't be reliable.
I have heard Milton's work described as an expression of a spirit of Protestant satanism. That is, Milton, by virtue of the rebelliousness of Protestantism, to which he subscribed, is accused of being satanic.

Based on what, exactly. Your claim is not provided amongst proof, just your beliefs, which is you, not from a position of authority. Your words betray your position especially since you followed from:

> > > The man was intelligent, no doubt – but that doesn’t seem to have translated into any real world ethical understanding. A good example of why “meritocratic” systems based on raw intelligence probably don’t lead to wise outcomes.

> > I didn’t claim to be have more ethical understanding than he did, but frankly, if his reported positions on nuclear strikes were actually what he thought, then yes, I think I do.

> I didn’t say I had more ethical understanding.

Its a straight line, and you admit to it, certainly not a position you invented out of thin air upon observation of stories that you read today.

> One can point out the flaws in something without involving oneself. This is…not complicated?

Nice, enjoy your belittlement, hope it tastes sweet.

> This is exactly the sort of criticism that arises from hero worship. “Who are you to criticize the genius?”

As long as we're putting words in other peoples mouths, "I always make the right decisions" is not something you can really defend here.

> And no, a council did not launch nuclear weapons. They advised the president, who made the final decision.

So, what exactly was the council for then? Von Neumann is a pivotal part of all things nuclear at the time, do explain how he is NOT responsible for any deaths.

There are a bit more than a hundred unused protocol numbers, and the options field has more than enough room to stuff some more address space into it. You'd need enough buy-in to get the protocol number accepted as valid, and could introduce better routing gradually: as long as the OG destination address knows how to send the packet on to the extended-address computer, it'll get where it's going.

The problems, and they are real, show-stopping problems, are more social than technical.

Back when I was a kid learning go, I was taught that the kick joseki (a standard sequence of moves, similar to chess opening) [1] is a bad move, and you were considered trolling (and the teacher would not be pleased) if you played a 3-3 invasion [2] during the opening phase. These are all vindicated thanks to the AI and played pretty commonly nowadays. AI definitely helped eliminate many dogma and myths in go.

With something like this, trust is vital. I need to be able to trust the code now and into the future. For trust, transparency is key. And this project has zero transparency.

I wouldn't be surprised if the drones they can detect are the larger fixed wings long range ones and not the FPV types.

FPV drones, aside from EW and directed energy weapons, don't have any counter at the tactical scale (although fielding shotguns might help). Any counter will need to be infantry section/platoon scale to be effective, or at a minimum company level weapon system. The range of the AA countermeasure for an FPV drone will be on the order of 500m-1.5km, so covering a 1000s of km long front line is near impossible with current systems.

.Net was built for interop (mostly with COM+, but that's close enough to C ABI once you get a function pointer). It's pretty good at making it easy. GCHandle and pinning in general aren't incredibly rare, heck, merely passing a byte array or string to a native function involves pinning. There's also all the heavy lifting it does for you: it doesn't look like you need to pin byte arrays because the JIT does that for you. .Net's safety invariants aren't that hard to uphold either (any more than C).

I have lost all love for the platform, but I still have to hand it to Microsoft: no FFI has come anywhere close to .Net in the 25-odd years of its existence.

> How would C track references for heap-allocated data originating from (A)RC-based language?

Intentionally designed FF interfaces do not at all. C either delegates allocation to the host language, or the host language needs to let C know when it's done with things. I think Lua is an example of the former (it has been a while), the Vulkano crate is a living example of the latter.

The "strategy bugs" are a symptom of a more general shortcoming and why 2024 AI is still basically dumber than a mouse.

Keel in mind that if you had a variation of Go where there was a "hole" in the middle of the board, both Lee Sedol and a competent amateur would be able to play competent "Doughnut Go" without any prior experience. But AlphaGo and its successors would certainly make a ton of dumb unforced errors unless it practiced at least a few hundred games. (I am basing this observation on similar experiments with a similar Breakout AI, not sure if these experiments have been done with Go.)

Mammals, including humans, have advanced brains because we evolved to solve weird and unexpected problems with moderate reliability, not to optimize well-known benchmarks with high reliability. (This is also why plants are green instead of black.) By contrast, AlphaGo is a machine designed to solve a highly specific problem. The whole point of machines is that they dominate humans at specific tasks, otherwise we would just use a human. But we don't describe bulldozers as "superhuman" unless we're being intentionally obscure; the same should apply to AI. Otherwise we risk assuming the AI is capable of things it probably can't do without retraining.

One interesting thing about this idea is that, from a higher level, that's exactly how IPv6 works; the "leading zero" is the IP protocol version field. If that leading zero, er IPv4, is there, the fields of the IP packet are interpreted using IPv4 semantics. If the version field is IPv6, then the IP packet is interpreted using IPv6 semantics.

This is how you configure telephone dial plans. Earlier dialed numbers influence the interpretation of later numbers. You dial a 1, an area code is expected next. You dial 9, you get an outline line. Dial plans are a pretty decent setup and allow scoped dialing, but are limited in their extensibility (you can't have a local number start with 1). In IP, the IP protocol version field influences the interpretation of later fields, logically similar to dial plans.
