A lot of people who oppose 1 and agree with 2 are unfairly lumped with position 3.

Given that this meme, while distasteful, was quite popular, the reason it was included may just that: its popularity. There is more edgy content on the station (like the 'bear' wanted poster in the police station); some of that might be explained by the author's cultural sphere (Belarus), but I doubt it was intended as explicit anti-trans messaging (at least, I wouldn't draw that conclusion without any other context beyond its inclusion).
The corollary is that if you didn't have any support to begin with, as is the case with most open source projects, EOL is pretty meaningless concept.

Carpet bombing has strictly limited utility vs. humans and infrastructure, as shown by allied bombing campaigns in WWII. Strategic targets were bombed for years and the Germans kept building tanks and aircraft. Japanese cities were burned without breaking the will of the Japanese people to fight.

With nuclear weapons, the potential for total destruction of human civilization is extremely high. The "tons of TNT" measure doesn't take into account flash, radiation and environmental effects of nuclear warfare.

Best Practice for Smart Contract Security
hey fam, we are launching a stETH focused Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) and discussing partnerships w Lido and others. Wanna make sure our security is as buttoned up as it can be before we launch. We are running 2 independent audits and but want to talk to experienced security experts to see if there are any other best practices we can adopt. Please let me know if you/anybody you know are available for a quick chat?

Things we are already taken into consideration for designing and reviewing smart contract.

- SC design playbook topics: upgradeability, access-control, pause-ability, minimal public interface, controlled internal assets transfer, known & verified library, minimal 3rd party library

- Review Playbook segments: public methods, internal asset transfer. assets exit and entry points. storage, numbers calculation, access control, lint and documentation.

It's as serious as in to read data consume the disk, and the faster its read the faster it's consumed [0]. You should have noticed that SSD disks no longer come with a 10-year warranty.

"under low throughput read-only workloads, SSD-A/-B/-C/-D/-E/-F extensively rewrite the potentially-disturbed data in the background, to mitigate the read (disturbance) induced latency problem and sustain a good read performance. Such rewrites significantly consume the already-reduced SSD lifetime. "

Bel is an interesting language. I really like the first-class macros, but wrb and rdb are kinda silly. As abstractions that get optimised into something more sensible I suppose they're fine, but yeah, modern filesystems don't really do single-bit reads and writes.
You can copy an existing book, word for word (maybe not even that if it uses a different character set, unless you're doing photocopies).

Write a new book without understanding the language? No way - not one that makes any sense. Not unless you're going with the "million monkeys" approach (and if you did try that approach, you wouldn't live long enough to succeed in writing one actual coherent book in the foreign language).

So, we could think about trying to simulate a human brain, neuron by neuron. That's the "making a photocopy" approach. But that's not the approach we're pursuing. We're trying to write a new book (create a new, non-human intelligence) in a language we don't understand (that is, not knowing what intelligence/consciousness actually is).

(Side topic: What would happen if you asked GPT-4 to write a full-length novel? Or even a story as long as the token limit? Would you get anything coherent?)

I consider Laravel to be a framework. Boilerplates are another wrapper on top of frameworks . For example, there is Laravel Spark which is a boilerplate on top of Laravel. I tried it and it was so bloated and complex to actually change things for your own use case, I dropped it. Many more like that in other ecosystems. Not saying it doesn't work for others but nowadays there are too many people selling boilerplates who have never really built production grade application for at least a decade.
The Pythagorean Philolaus claimed that “The soul is introduced and associated with the body by Number, and by a harmony simultaneously immortal and incorporeal….the soul cherishes its body, because without it the soul cannot feel”

So, what I like about this is how consciousness (feeling—sensation-sentience) is distinguished from the soul. Further, it is precisely by the combination of the soul and body that consciousness arises. And note that the soul is, essentially, the same sort of material as number and mathematics — immaterial, eternal, etc.

I don’t know of other perspectives on soul like this.
> Consciousness requires a soul

Any actual evidence for this is welcome.

That is just total nonsense. You can of course do neural network research without pytorch and tensorflow. Julia is especially good, with Flux being the most flexible Neural Network library which exists.

Pytorch and tensorflow are important and a very good reason to use python or C++, but those two being unavailable is more impactful for the industry, of course your research might need them, but it might very well not.

Actually the exact reverse is true: the flights are in general overpriced during vacation seasons because emigrates are desperate to return home and stay with their families a few days. So airways companies exploit this fact. They are cheap in certain periods (not for government helps that are minimal and only recently reintroduced: an unfair price with a 25% of discount remains an unfair price), terribly costly in other periods (500 euros for 2000km flight is common), because the government is not protecting enough people living here or living in Milan/Rome but originally from Sicily. They should have access to decent ticket prices. At the same time you can go from Milano Malpensa to Lisbona with 30 euros or alike...
What’s stopping Ukraine and its allies from building these? If they’re so cheap and simple. Let’s say you start pounding blocks down in the major cities in southwest Russia and see how they feel after that
See, you're still taking every opportunity to rant about "control", while continuing to get the technical details wrong (this time: the bit about firmware on a smart NAND chip, which is a real thing but not what the article is about). You're not even bothering to make a cogent case for why retail SSDs should expose this low-level control, just repetitively complaining. You could have actually made the conversation more interesting by taking a different approach.
to be fair, Ukrainians have shot down planes and helicopters in Russian airspace with Patriot batteries. The limiting conditions on doing more of that are ammunition (for cover), air defense interceptor and launcher shortages. Saying that the West is to blame for not producing cutting-edge interceptors (that are extremely in demand) as if they were knick-knacks is not entirely fair. I write this as someone who has donated a substantial percentage of my savings to support Ukrainian efforts.
For a Gaussian laser beam, a good metric is the Rayleigh distance, which is the distance where the beam diverges to sqrt(2) of it's initial beam size (waist) [1].

It is proportional to the square of the beam waist and inversely proportional to the wavelength.

For a 1m beam at a 1um wavelength, that is about 3e6m or 3000km.

Therefore larger beam diameters and longer wavelengths reduces divergence.

There's also other beam shapes that are "non-diffracting" which can maintain their original beam profile over an initial distance, such as a Bessel beam [2].

Swarms for this application seem inefficient to me because they duplicate so much of the mass-- mass that could be used not as single basket but as adequate redundancy in a single craft.

Also, this seems impossible:

> An initial string 100s to 1000s of AU long dynamically coalesces itself over time into a lens-shaped mesh network #100,000 km across, sufficient to account for ephemeris errors at Proxima

How does any object as small as what they're proposing at the extreme head or tail of the string whose only energy source is a laser several light years away lower (or increase) its velocity enough to reposition itself several hundred astronomical units to form a lens 100,000 km across and then increase (or decrease) its velocity in order maintain formation?

Is the lens pointed at the target, for imaging, or pointed at earth for communications? If the former how does it achieve the gain needed to send a signal to earth? If the latter how does it perform any useful science with the target?

Has anyone done even a rudimentary SWAG link budget calculation for communications?

Also, laser beams diverge and lose coherence. Why does it seem as though they are assuming that laser beams stay converged and coherent forever?

What is the energy density of a 100GW laser beam that has diverged to 100,000km at a ±50k km radial distance because I assume that the swarm components at the edges of the lens will need power the same as those at the center?
Russia has its own constellation called GLONASS. It might be possible for Ukraine to jam that and GPS. I’m not sure how that would affect the bomb’s accuracy.

I’m sure Ukraine is researching this.
A girlfriend in high school told my dad that she was planning on becoming a mechanical engineer. She was driving her dad's car and he asked her what kind of engine was in it. She had no idea. I don't think my dad was being sexist and believing that she did not have a bent for engineering.

I'm not sure what she did after college, but failed out of her first choice with too much partying and too low test grades
GPS is indeed jammed. Ordinance in such an environment often relies on interial navigation.

Ask HN: Video streaming is expensive yet YouTube "seems" to do it for free. How?
Can anyone help me understand the economics of video streaming platforms?

Streaming, encoding, and storage demands enormous costs -- especially at scale (e.g., on average each 4k video with close to 1 million views).
Yet YouTube seems to charge no money for it.

I know advertisements are a thing for YT, but is it enough?

If tomorrow I want to start a platform that is supported with Advert revenues, I know I will likely fail. However, maybe at YT scale (or more specifically Google Advert scale) the economics works?

ps: I would like this discussion to focus on the absolute necessary elements (e.g., storing, encoding, streaming) and not on other factors contributing to latency/cost like running view count algorithms.
Exactly the opposite of what is not stopping Russia to do it.

I've tried to make React Native debugging easier
Hey there I hated to use complicated crashlytics solutions like firebase crashlytics or sentry and in the end I didn't even get redux state or last react navigation path out of it. That's why I decided to make my own lib specialised only on React Native with some of the most used libraries. I hate overengineered stuff, so I've tried to make the implementation as easy as possible, so you can use the lib with only three lines of code. If you are interested to try it out, than write me an email at vankatadam@gmail.com or fill the google form at my landing page and I will invite you to try my project. I would love some feedback from you!
Thank you! Yes this had actually become a problem for us but it weirdly ended up adding an interesting new dynamic to the game. So much so that we'd actively try and hide our resources from each other and had to try to keep track of each other's resources in our heads (the irony in adding a digital calculator only to increase cognitive load is very real). But yeah, I can imagine not everyone would want to play like this and a compact summary could solve that issue. I shall see what I can do :)
I dont think the government should be enforcing social norms. I prefer the US style of weak social norms where there are less consequences for breaking them.
For me (as someone who hates subscriptions personally), the difference is that subscriptions I buy for my business help me generate recurring revenue. In my personal life, subscriptions perhaps make my life easier, but do not have the same leverage to create continuing benefit.

So I'm much more willing to buy subscriptions to help me generate not only more revenue but essentially a decaying annuity (due to churn) than I am to buy subscriptions for some personal benefit that disappears the moment I stop paying.

We define ourselves to be conscious (even if we don't know exactly what that means). We assume that other humans are similar to ourselves, and we (at least sometimes) see mental activity in other humans that we recognize as being similar to our own. Therefore we conclude that other humans are conscious.
