This is an interesting comment and its great to see a source.

I just want to add a bit to France's threats to deploy troops to Ukraine for direct conflict. There's a serious case to be made that this is France playing a game of chicken, essentially trying to get the Russians to have to consider that as a possibility and plan for the contingency, thus occupying their time and forcing them to hedge resources they would otherwise employ.

Certainly nobody knows for sure - unless they have penetrated French intelligence - but this seems to be the majority take of US foreign policy analysts I've read.

Whether such a game of chicken is responsible or not is its own discussion. Although one could also point to escalatory rhetoric from the other side.

> More energy density in capacitors is a big thing, as capacitors are easily the biggest parts you will have to use on your PCB

Not really. Most modern electronics don't need significant capacitance in F. Your selection of capacitors will be dominated by a very large number of physically small, low-value bypass capacitors, one each placed as close as possible to every single power pin. The main thing you care about is their inductance - which is why you want them small and close to the pin. I'm already using the smallest parts the factory lets me without charging a premium fee, so nothing to gain here.

Beyond that there might be a handful of bulk capacitors distributed among the power rails, but those are rare and already rice-sized. Making those smaller wouldn't hurt, but it's not the first property you'd be selecting it on, and the potential gains are pretty much wasted on anything which isn't an iPhone.

There are still some rather bulky capacitors in things like chargers and power supplies, but those aren't exactly space-limited.
Can you explain your reasoning behind putting culture in double quotes. You may do well to remember you also need to justify your use of your own words. The medical industry does not (and shouldn't) have the last word on language relating to disability. It would well be worth you reading into the medical model of disability vs the social model of disability. In short: medicine doesn't always work out in the best interest of people with disabilities, hence society becoming more aware and accommodating of people with disabilities actually supports people with disabilities more than medicine.
I've long thought that we need to create a new (short) word that exists solely so you can communicate that you got the message, but not indicate any position on it. Something like AROM (acknowledging receipt of message).

Of course, good luck keeping it in that semantic space even if you got it off the ground
This disruption is already happening with the rise of co-operative education. Schools like the University of Waterloo have amazing job-market outcomes with 5-year degrees that alternate between education and work terms. You graduate with 2 years of work experience and connections with employers to land a job after you graduate. Now they're the best school in Canada for CS and on par with MIT/CMU.

Students value "prestige" because they think it'll improve their life. People see people that go to a good university and get good jobs and think "wow this university will make me successful!" because some of the prestige rubs off on them.

I don't believe that's a good mechanism for improving outcomes. I think there are better ways, and many schools are implementing those ways right now.

>Air superiority means nothing when the opposing side has meat for the meat grinder and it's widely spread out.

Western attack helicopters are just one prong in the meat grinder that would grind up enemy infantry formations and entrenchments far quicker than they can be replenished.

NATO vs Russia in a conventional war is basically the West hitting the delete button. Nuclear blackmail is about the only thing sparing Russian forces from that fate.

A war with China is more of a defensive situation. If large-scale infantry combat even had the opportunity to take place I'd be surprised.

That said it's always prudent to plan for the worst contingencies however remote.
Ukraine wasn't just handed sacks of cash with dollar signs on the side. They've been getting X billions worth of lend-lease equipment, supplies, and training. This gives the Ukrainian government equipment and training but they've still got to provide the personnel and pay them. They also need to pay for whatever equipment they want that's not lend-lease, including their own drones.
So by the tyranny of exponential growth, we should just start building massive breeding factories and forceably enslaving people randomly matching them to have children? Because this could actually be the optimal policy if we take your view of "second persons" to it's optimum.

If Ukraine will win war with Russia, it will mean that Ukraine will take their place as mightiest country in the world. EU will be a good buffer for us.

Your definition of self promotion is a bit different from what I usually think. I usually consider self promotion to be someone promoting something that that same person did. Both of your non-self-promotion examples would be self promotion under my definition.

So what you consider to be self promotion vs non-self-promotion, I consider to be self promotion with a title that very clearly indicates that vs self promotion with a title that less clearly indicates that. However, the "Show HN" phrase is only used for self promotion I think, so even without the "I", anyone familiar with the convention will know it's self promotion.

> I'm not seeing any signs that trends in fertility are turning around

I'm not sure how you could. The sentiment is only just starting to change as far as I can tell. It is too late for the current crop of young-ish adults. But I don't see the next generation, of what generation there is, coming up in the same environment where having children is demonized and seen as something reserved for the poor. For them, I fully expect having children will be the display of wealth; the "cool" thing to do.

We see over and over and over again that the rich use their resources to set themselves apart from the poor in some way and then the poor try everything they can to emulate them. It is a tale as old as time. In this instance we saw the rich start to afford the luxury to choose to have children, and poorer people have been on the quest to copy them ever since. But now we're nearing a critical mass where the world has become rich enough that even the poorest people are now able to start thinking about foregoing having children. That signals that the current fashion trend is on the outs.

I'm starting to see a shift towards "Look at how rich I am. I can afford to have children and you can't!" You even alluded to that same shift in a previous comment, so it seems you're seeing it too. And we should expect something of the sort as it is the natural progression of fashion.

Interesting thought, will explore more, thanks!
I see your point and I think you have a reasonable point of view, although I don't share it because I think to have that point of view you have to make assumptions I'm not comfortable making.

I think there's a lot of variables in terms of how the timeline could progress: how Russia is able to draw on other sources (trade) for equipment, how global economic winds enable Russia to deal with its labor shortages, how deep those stockpiles really go (already Western observers have significantly underestimated them), how much materiel is needed to sustain a war of attrition (in which Russia isn't advancing), how much Russian air power plays into a future timeline and how and whether Ukraine can mitigate Russian air power starting from its current air defense deficit.

When I look at these, and other variables and unknown quantities, it's hard for me to draw out that Russia is destined/doomed to lose a war of attrition, if supply just continues a little bit longer. We've witnessed Russia adapting significantly during the war - even avoiding (so far) a general mobilization. Furthermore I can think of several more ways in which Russia could win the war with sustained sponsorship of Ukraine (that never test scalability of equipment manufacture). In short, I respect that you've got that view, just uncomfortable of making the assumptions to get there myself.
This. I built my last company on elixir. Deployments of clustered BEAM in cloud VMs are far more complex than load-balancing across node or python servers, not to mention serverless. Any custom genservers we wrote always had stability issues. Type safety was a problem that caused crashes in production. Elixir is a really fun language and BEAM is powerful but it’s by no means a clear choice. My new company is on Next.js and it’s much easier to hire / develop / deploy.

A snip from the post

The Analyst....

By this stage the Russians had lost most of their APC’s and tanks were standing well back acting more as artillery. The Russians then started the widespread use of what looks like golf carts and ATV’s to reinforce their infantry. Later they started using motorbikes.

With their armor gone the infantry were sent in meatwaves. *This lead the Ukrainians to mount their Octocopter heavy lift drones (which the Russians are generally very afraid of), with light machine guns to bring down the infantry attacks. While experimental these drones proved very effective, their only problem being recoil issues firing the gun. It’s planned to solve the recoil quite quickly, but using machine learning and thermal optical sights shows huge promise. This makes the drones less susceptible to having their control link severed - even if they do they can operate alone and return themselves to base. The day of the gun armed autonomous AI drone it seems, is here.*

The Russians continue infantry attacks but they have now stopped supporting them with any armor and have turned north instead, trying to find a weaker spot.

An outstanding and imaginative Ukrainian defense with limited resources yet again, blunts the relentless hammer blows of meatwave attacks backed by dwindling armor.
The first thing I'd recommend is constantly evaluating positions from a strategic POV ("Evaluate like a GM" is a good book, alternatively look at a lot of positions and evaluate like you were an engine and then engine check).

Second (or first if you lack even the basics to do said evaluation) is understand strategic concepts. A good starting point would be "Simple Chess" the next step would be pawn structures ("Power of Pawns" -> "Chess Structures" would be my recommendations, the latter is probably the greatest chess book in recent times imo). There's also many Chessable courses, I'm quite fond of "Developing Chess Intuition" by GM Raven Sturt and the "Art of..." series by CM Can Kabadayi for lower rated players. The sky is the limit, there's good books all the way up, for example "Mastering Chess Strategy" usually recommended for 2000+ ELO

Third study great positional players like Carlsen, Karpov, Petrosian etc.

I'd say the most important thing to realize is that just like tactics puzzles, there's strategic puzzles but they are not as obvious.

And it is very, very ,very clear this is a horribly stupid and shortsighted thing to do. It is simply impossible to have constant growth, clearly it is unsustainable.

If you are looking for short period events, losing a single frame can mean losing critical data.

> Or they can just use that information for better scheduling: wait a minute or two to image a particular spot, so there won't be satellites in the field of view.

Which means more time and effort, and ultimately money needs to be spent on scheduling observations to avoid the thousands of these satellites.

And sometimes it isn't an option. What if a GRB happens in the same field of view as one of these satellites and you want to observe it as soon as possible?

Now there are some types of observations that won't be impacted that much. If you can tolerate scheduling around it, or throwing away some of your frames it is just a minor annoyance. But a lot of observations are also more sensitive to such disruptions.
> homosexuality (in males at least)

In many traditional societies, there is strong social pressure for marriage and children, arranged and semi-arranged marriages, etc - such that a person’s sexual orientation may not make much difference to their odds of heterosexually reproducing. Some people might enjoy heterosexual reproduction and others might endure it but they’ll do it all the same. So that would limit the selective pressure against genes that increase the likelihood of homosexuality

In the mainstream contemporary West, if heterosexual reproduction doesn’t appeal to you, then you just don’t do it-so selective pressure against those genes may exist to a degree that it formerly did not. On the other hand, the new possibilities for non-heterosexual reproduction (such as IVF, sperm/egg donation, surrogacy) might counteract that.
It's more lack of "second thoughts" skills and possibly lack of State of Art and Decision Records; it is impossible to learn from failure if no trace exist or no one knows who did the decision.
For me, definitely yes, because it's rootless. Being able to stream individual windows is an absolutely killer feature. Having to deal with non-native window management is a nightmare, not to mention that it leaves you pulling down more pixels than you need to.

Microsoft has similar functionality but it's gated behind enterprise licenses. I ran Xpra for free when I was a kid and it was magical; many years later I've still never played with Windows' Terminal Services, which is the MS thing that can do rootless IIRC. The way MS gates the necessary windowing features is why to this day you can't do rootless with X2Go or Xpra with normal Windows clients.

Is there special reason the usual GUI PolKit privilege elevation wrappers can't work with a remote X session? I think I used to be able to use kdesu and similar just fine over Xpra. Note that 'rootless' in this context (windowing) means 'without a root window', i.e., without rendering a desktop. It has nothing to do with the usage in projects like podman where 'rootless' means 'not requiring elevated privileges'.

Slang words tend to produce loads of folk etymologies that have little basis in reality. Partially, this is because slang words tend to be less visible in records that survive to the modern time. And also partially, etymology tends to be a field where people feel inclined to make stuff up that sounds right and these stories get passed along because feeling right is valued more highly than actually being right.

The proposed etymologies of OK fall into three main buckets:

* OK is an initialism for a misspelled variant of 'all correct'

* OK is a phonetic rendition of some phrase in $LANGUAGE (there are a few different such languages proposed)

* OK is an initialism for some phrase in $LANGUAGE (again, different phrases in different languages have been proposed)

Of these etymologies, the second bucket can be pretty thoroughly ruled out immediately: OK shows up in our sources first as an initialism, not 'okay', so it's not likely to be anything other than an initialism. As for deciding what it's an initialism of... well, "all correct" is actually the most reasonable on first guess because someone who is going to come up with a "just-so" story for a folk-etymology is likely to go for a phrase which actually initializes to OK rather than one which conspicuously doesn't, and thus someone advancing an "all correct" theory is likely to be able to point to evidence of its truth. Which we have.

>Whether such a game of chicken is responsible or not is its own discussion.

I'd argue giving in to nuclear blackmail is irresponsible. Personally I'd like to see the US version, with the Russians having to pause and think about what the eventual, complete loss of all their conventional forces in Ukraine looks like should they advance too far.

Then again, that's probably what the US has already communicated to them in private regarding use of tactical nukes.
