> There's a clear difference in reporting, accountability, access to weaponry, training, and cultural expectations.

I'm happy to stipulate this. But it doesn't mean what you think it means.

> The gendarmerie are military units, police departments are typically civilian units.

Because this is clearly false.

Think about the Air Force. Compared to the Army, there is a clear difference in reporting, accountability, access to weaponry, training, and cultural expectations.

And yet, obviously, the Air Force is a division of the army (small 'a'). There are no civilians who care about the distinction between the Army and the Air Force, because it is meaningless outside of paperwork.

This is also true of the police. They have their own reporting structures, accountability procedures, weaponry, training, and internal culture, and they are very clearly a military organization. Their entire purpose is to enforce the will of the state by using violence. They do not have any function other than that. And that function is what defines the military.
I am sure some love it, and to be clear I am not suggesting we make it illegal or anything, but I suspect a lot of the people on Onlyfans don’t really love getting messages from horny dudes every day.

> Tvix explicitly targets stable Nix features, so supporting Flakes is a non-goal.

Except that it rolls its own CA store[1], which is also not a stable Nix feature. One could argue that it has to roll its own store because Nix wants to own the store, but implementing a shadow version of an experimental feature makes the "they're just targeting stable features" part ring rather hollow.

> The key point of Tvix _not_ having support for Flakes is to not make special snowflake evaluator features that are tied in with it.

That's not really how I read the authors' defense of this choice. It seems like they made it because they disagree with the design decision, and I consider that more defensible than the position you offer. I just wish they would make this information more central, and I will keep posting it in news items about Tvix because no one else is going to. There is no indication that the "Nix" they implement is many years old now, and when they do[2] indicate it, they are vague about why.

good lord that is a horribly designed website, the OP that that person is linking to:

:

How bad are the thousands of new stochastically-generated websites?

Last night I wanted to roast some hazelnuts, and I could not remember the temperature I used last time. So I searched on DuckDuckGo. Every website that I could find was machine-generated with different temps listed. One site had three separate methods listed that were essentially differently worded versions of the same thing. With different temperatures.

So I pulled my copy of Rodale’s Basic Natural Foods Cookbook off the shelf and looked it up there.

I think it may be time to download an archive copy of the 2022 Wikipedia before we lose all of our reference material. It was nice having all the world’s knowledge at my fingertips for a couple of decades, but that time seems to be past.
They already check IDs of every entrant.

Also, in the US, your driver's license has a 2D barcode on the back which encodes your name.

The venue ticket has a QR code or similar which could also encode your name.

They already scan the venue ticket QR code. They could also scan your ID barcode, and beep differently if the names do not match.
It's just the mental acceptance of them having the audacity (and ability) to test a filesystem transition without the owners explicit consent.

I would not be happy about it anyway, and hearing that they did it makes me even more sure about not entering the Apple ecosystem.
Right. After I got a recall notice on some Amazon vitamins because they were counterfeit, I stopped ordering much of anything from Amazon.

A competing "direct from the manufacturer" sales site would be useful. Only the business that actually makes the thing could sell it. No intermediaries.
You don’t own your own reputation.

Neat, but Postgres version numbering changed with v10. 9.6, 9.5, 9.4, 9.3, 9.2, 9.1, 9.0, 8.4, 8.3, 8.2, 8.1, and 8.0 are effectively all distinct major versions. It'd be interesting to see how perf changed with those.

Yeah, preaching to the choir here, I have a Vanguard account, I mostly buy Vanguard ETFs or index funds.

That said, assuming that the person doesn’t treat Robinhood like a gambling app, avoid margin and options, and only buy boring ETFs on there, it doesn’t really seem like it’s fundamentally different.
Moving story. Beautifully told. I distil two lessons.

1. It's worth going through a bit of awkwardness to thank people or tell them what they mean to you while you still can.

2. Never go out on the water (or more generally engage in risky activities) alone.
I never listened to those. I used to listen to NPR pretty often while commuting. Nowadays it’s just incessant agenda forcing, 100% of the time. It’s tiresome and, I’d think, counterproductive. I used to donate as well.
The book "Death of a River Guide" offers quite a fascinating perspective on this
Again, it's really interesting to get these viewpoints. Thanks for sharing them with me. I really have to say they don't seem to resemble the facts on the ground I have noticed. Just a few things I noticed that I can't imagine anyone I know saying:

1) most people want a quagmire war that will never end trying to defeat a populist force fighting for their homeland. The US has lost every single war of this kind in the last 60 years. Why would Israel win one?

2) Iran can be militarily stopped from getting nukes, or that it matters. I think our best shot was the JCPOA, and the fact that we haven't tried anything close to that since tells me that the US has given up trying to deter Iran's nuclear program. Even if Iran gets nukes, what will change? There is still MAD (there already was MAD between Israel's allies and Iran's allies). The whole world has largely moved past this issue, it seems, but you think it's very relevant.

3) Hamas can be eliminated even though the Taliban weren't. These are really similar forces fighting really similar blockades, embargoes, and invasions, with very similar popular support. Why is this the albatross of the past 60 years of losing offensive wars against populist guerilla fighters?

4) Hamas doesn't want freedom or had some kind of opportunity to better a completely embargoed, blockaded, and dietary restricted Gaza. This is a pretty surprising take honestly. What incentive does anyone have to run a business or improve any lot in life when your mortal enemy controls every import and export into your territory and even how much food you can have? What is the point of money or progress in such a world? You can't bring more stuff in from the outside until you destroy the blockade around you... I'd think anyone on any side here could see that.

Ask HN: Strategy for "bundling" Ollama with a desktop app?
I want to publish a desktop app that relies on the locally running Ollama I installed with their `install.sh`.

Say it's an Electron app - is this as simple as having a start script in the Electron Node side install Ollama's `install.sh` and then start the Ollama service each time the Electron app starts?

Will I run into OS-level issues doing this? (and is there a better way?)

Any advice from someone who's done it for an app is very much appreciated! Thanks.
That's great, and I'm genuinely glad to hear you've done well, but your story in no way negates the data in the article. It's not claiming that nobody coming from an adverse childhood succeeeds - just that it's a lot harder. Your post is a great example of survivorship bias. I doubt that there are many people in poverty who post to HN.
It hit the turret, tank went kaboom. The Russian was standing in the hatch but the drone hit below that.

The tank would have went kaboom even if the hatch was closed.

I've see at least 50 videos like this, some being compilations with lots of tanks. Usually they target the rear of the tank at the bottom of the turret like in that video.

You say that but I’ve yet to see an AI deep fake have any real impact so far. At least in the west, the political ones I’ve seen really haven’t got much traction and were quickly dismissed by the mainstream. Sure, there will always be idiots on the fringe who will believe anything that aligns with their current beliefs, there’s little we can do about that, but so far I’m surprised there hasn’t been an AI deepfake that didn’t fizzle within days. I guess we’re early in the game, so time will tell.
My brothers daughter went to a private pool party that had a life guard and a 4 year old drowned. Apparently there were a lot of floaties in the pool and no one noticed him slip in. I was living in Miami at the time and it shook me immensely as I was a new dad, pools are everywhere, and the thought of losing my son who was 2yo was unbearable. I was at the apartment pool chatting with a friend who is a very advanced swimmer - the type that swims laps seemingly endlessly - and she asked “have you ever seen what would happen if he fell in the pool?”. I said no, and then she suggested I try it so that I would at least know. So I picked him up and with no warning tossed him in. He immediately froze under water, arms and legs outstretched in literally stunned silence. I counted to 5 and pulled him out and he was trembling with fear.

At that point I realized that the time it takes for a kid to drown is one breath. That may be 3 seconds, may be 10 seconds. It’s considerably shorter than the time it takes to run to the restroom, answer a call, pick up the pizza at the front door etc. They won’t fight for their life and splash, they’ll simply freeze stiff and die in silence.

I literally shared that story with every close friend I have with kids to warn them about how fast it can happen, now I’m happy to share it with you. I won’t bore you with another story concerning my brothers daughter who almost died while in swim class at the MIT pool but suffice it to say, if you haven’t taught your kids how to swim, I advise you not to trust them with anyone but yourself and your partner.
It would arguably be more accurate to compare the actual systems running Postgres and their precompiled binaries. Nearly everything else in a given system running a given version of an application may have an impact on its performance in subtle ways. Its development occurred in conjunction with these other system components, thus it was optimized for them. In addition, distributions tend to ship their binaries with patches not found upstream which can also affect performance. Everything from the kernel and scheduler to glibc and more may affect performance. Newer isn't always faster. Even the containerization you now use might add a subtle penalty that an older non-containered version may not experience.

Basically, it's theoretically possible that some old ass system running version 8 runs it faster than your current system runs version 8 (excluding hardware).

Add to that all the other usual caveats about benchmarks etc (like the fact that IO wasn't tested here but is pretty dang relevant to real world performance)

Shut me down by saying false things? Why do you believe IQ is unscientific? It's routinely used by scientists for science and has falsifiable predictive power, which distinguishes it from unscientific things like astrology and homeopathy. Race isn't unscientific either - even if we're talking about the classic 3 races (which is not actually how people use the word anyway), they do in fact correspond to broad common genetic histories. Yes, they're an artificial classification people invented, but species are also an artificial classification. Neither is capable of classifying every individual and neither is unscientific because both are well enough defined to be useful to make predictions from.
Sorry but that’s bs. The title of the video is “The worst product I’ve ever reviewed… for now”.

That is not a personal attack on someone’s character. And it leaves the door open for the product to improve in the future, which he also suggests in the video.

I'm familiar with your point, but ignoring the rest of their commentary and assuming they're taking tea with Greg Gutfeld doesn't help anyone either. It's possible to use a term without knowing its dogwhistle side, and it's possible to be critical of the democratic party without being Trumpian.

There are many legends about fissile material, or even “bomb kits” hidden away in some of Sweden’s many hollow mountains.

According to Wilhelm Agrell’s book “Svenska förintelsevapen”, the foundation for one such legend is as follows: There was a chunk of plutonium in a lab somewhere, acquired from the UK, I think. When the nuke program was ramped down, it was decided that this chunk should be transferred to a certain laboratory in Norway. However, getting the bureaucratic stars aligned to do this “by the book” turned out to be a major headache, to the point that some exasperated manager eventually packed the stuff in his briefcase, drove to Norway in his own car and handed it over personally, thus breaking every rule in the book and a few not yet written, but at least getting rid of the cumbersome thing from his lab!
The Parkfield region is very sparsely populated. A disruption on this segment of the San Andreas Fault, comparable to past similarly-sized events, would probably NOT have significant effects in major populated regions of either the San Francisco Bay Area (San Jose is 128 miles north) or Southern California (Santa Barbara, which is the northernmost extant of the SoCal conurbanation is 110 miles south). That's roughly 120 and 180 km respectively.

Earthquakes' effects are most strongly felt immediately around the epicenter, and diminishes with the square of the distance.

The San Andreas Fault, being a strike-slip fault (plates moving laterally against one another) and lying principally inland has very low tsunami risk. Tsunami are most associated with superthrust faults, in which one plate rides up over another, and energy is release with a strong vertical displacement, as with the 2011 Tohoku and 2004 Indian Ocean earthquakes.
Lee Atwater has this to say about Republican politics of 1980s:

"All that you need to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in place on the issues that he's campaigned on since 1964, and that's fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole cluster. ... You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger". By 1968, you can't say "nigger" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this", is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger". So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the back-burner."

I would say that the present state of the Republican party is very much in line with that, except that race didn't ever truly come onto the back-burner; somehow they're still talking about "those people" all the time.

So, Republicans are the party of white people who are proud that they are white (and annoyed that they can't show their pride openly anymore), while Democrats are the party of white people who feel guilty about it (and annoy everyone else by trying to make everyone aware of how badly they feel about it).

The term for that is “monopoly rent”, it is a subtype of economic rents (which are distinct from, but overlap, “rents” of goods or services for a finite time as distinct from sales.)

Actions taken in pursuit of economic rents are called “rent-seeking”.

I'm not talking about generals, I'm talking about civilians. Israel famously assassinated an Iranian civilian in Iran with a machine gun deployed remotely.

>If you're asking morally - there's no question in my mind that the US should do whatever is possible to weaken the Iranian regime

My original point was that Iran has not invaded Israel or even prematurely attacked or postured against it, the way Russia and China have done to the territories they wish to invade. It's quite the opposite. You even agree here that the US should essentially have carte blanche to destroy Iran because... it's a religious dictatorship (seriously that's all)??? Some of the closest US allies are religious dictatorships who have the exact same religious rules as Iran??? In fact, the US and Israel heavily court religious dictatorships who force their populations to live by the exact same religious laws!

A very outlandish take, to be honest, but it serves my point well. Iran's actions against Israel are defensive ones against a bloodthirsty enemy who seems to have a very poor reason to want to destroy it.
