Lol, I think they should be low and stay low and there should be more enforcement

For me, I live in a quiet neighborhood. The residential street outside my apartment has speed limit signs of 20mph. People are trying to walk their dogs and kids. 9 out of 10 cars go 40-50mph. Part of that is road design. The road is new, straight, barrier and speed bump free. Worse, if you try to obey the law and go 20 the person behind you will get road rage and then illegally pass on the left (going into the opposite lane) or pass on the right and swerve around to get to the left turn lane.

That said, a street a block over is 25mph with speed bump and at least 1 of 3 cars races to each bump. And 1 of 20 just flies over the bumps.

This is a street with apartments and condos one one side and a park and elementary school on the other.

There might be some roads that don't need enforcement (somewhere in Nevada) but even in outside of the city, say LA to Vegas or SF to LA there's enough traffic that speeders cause accidents.

There's also a great video I stumbled across yesterday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3D7XYQExt0

Summary: Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mv^2

So if have a car going 70mph and they slam on their breaks to avoid an accident. When they stop they'll have expended 4900 units of kinetic energy. Another car, same weight, going 100mph slams on the breaks. When their car has expended 4900 units of kinetic energy they still have another 5100 units to get rid before their car will stop because 70^2 = 4900, and 100^2 = 10000. In other words, after they've applied as much stopping force as the 70mph car required to come to stop they're still going over 70mph

The point being, speeding issues scale exponentially, not linearly.

Offtopic, but am I the only person surprised how badly Apple stalled when it comes to window management and UX on MacOS?

I feel that today, as a power user/professional, MacOS wouldn't be usable without applications like Bartender, external window manager such as Rectangle/Divvy etc. I feel strong attraction coming from yabai, but disabling SIP is too much for me.

Personally I'm reaching the point where I'd migrate to Linux ONLY for the user experience (I live in Emacs most of the time anyway, and there I could get some minimal WM on top of it, I guess).

Didn't Unity and Epic have people working directly on the Vulkan specification? I remember reading a comment (maybe here!), way back during Vulkan's original release, where someone was screaming about how Vulkan was a conspiracy to make us dependent on giant, multi million dollar game engines.

I don't know about any conspiring, but I've thought about that comment often, because the result appears the same: The barrier to in-house game engine development has been risen further.
> First, mothers-to-be in the US need single-payer healthcare

This is already true, pregnant women qualify for Medicaid in every state. Medicaid pays for ~50% of all births.
> As a result the modern ID card system and citizen registration is decentralized by design. When you move between two Bundeslände (states), your records are digitally transferred. They may not under any circumstances exist in two.

This doesn’t sound like much of a protection to me. The rouge central government could just seize the records from the states, then do bad things.

Good thing that the AFD only gets about 20% of the vote. (The AFD is considered too problematic by most European fascists. Many prominent members of the AFD want to deport a million people from Germany and are openly sympathetic to actual Nazis)
OpenGL can do threads with shared contexts but caveats apply so it is not popular.

But even more common is mapping memory in "OpenGL thread" and then letting another thread fill the memory. Quite common is mapping buffers with persistent/coherent flags at init, and then leave them mapped.
> Vibrant? It's made of white concrete.

"vibrant" could apply to the activity, not the physical structure. There's 4 other people in the back of the photo - if you assumed it was a tiny slice of the park, you could say it was vibrant.

(to me it doesn't look particularly vibrant re: activity but this is just one small corner and I will allow the ML some leeway in its floridity.)
> The 99 years between the Napoleonic and First World Wars were the most peaceful 99 years of European history since at least the Roman Empire;

You make a good point about the "Long Peace" between the Napoleonic Wars and World War I. While there were indeed several conflicts during this period, they were generally shorter and more localized.
The Revolutions of 1848, which affected many European countries.
The Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878)
The Serbo-Bulgarian War (1885)
The Greco-Turkish War (1897)
And there are others that I missed

> Germany wanted war with Russia and was confident they could also afford war with France (having kicked their asses in 1870 already) but would have really preferred to keep Britain out of it.

Yes I also agree however had Britain remained neutral and not created alliances that it knew would put it in conflict with Germany is it possible that the Germany vs. Russia conflict might have remained a regional war (like others I mentioned above) and so continuing the so called “long peace”? Instead there was an escalation to a global conflict. So what motivated Britain to make these alliances that caused the escalation? Is there a better explanation than “Thucydides Trap”? (See my sibling post about this.)

“Thucydides Trap" suggests that when a rising power threatens to displace an existing great power, it often leads to war. Russia, Britain, and Germany found themselves in this predicament before World War 1, with each nation acting rationally to protect its own interests. However, the complex web of alliances and the fear of losing power ultimately led to a global conflict that no one truly desired.
My split second of doubt came from not being American, and past experience of hearing Americas seriously make those points
This is how progress (in developer productivity) has always been made. We coded in assembler, then used macros, then a language like C, Fortran, then more of Java/Go/Puthon/Rust/Ruby et al. A developer writing a for loop over a list in Python need to necessarily know about linked lists and memory patterns because Python takes care of it. This frees up that developer from abstracted details and think one level closer to the problem at a higher speed.

LLMs _can_ be a good tool under the right hands. They certainly have some ways to become a reliable assistant. I suppose in the way of LLMs, they need better training before they can get there.

Do you believe that no one feels highly rewarded by exploring wilderness?

Generations of explorers, many of whom lost their lives for no gain, indicate otherwise.

Let us make a thought experiment. Let's say that Musk, tomorrow, declares "we are now creating a list of future Mars colonists, reasonably healthy individuals under 70 can apply from anywhere in the world, please send us your resumes".

Would they get fewer than 10 million applicants? I'd rather guess 50 million or so. Of course, some of those are going to get cold feet the moment they receive their one-way flight ticket in mail, but quite a few won't.

By your hypothesis, there would be approximately zero applicants. I don't believe that.

Clearly people in this discussion are getting different views of reality. There is definitely a long term rise in extremism in Israel but what that means to someone who is closely familiar with Israel and someone who is not can be two very different things.

I don't think people outside Israel think that Israelis are engaged in self reflection. That aspect isn't something that's reported on. There are some Israelis that don't care about innocents in Gaza, and it's easy to just pick up that story if it furthers the reality that you believe in. Reality isn't one, or two, or one hundred stories. It is a continuum.

Israel being a "western colonial enterprise" is not an analysis. It is a talking point. I've seen it hundreds if not thousands of times in online discourse on this topic. It's something that has been pushed for some time (a decade or two?) in various circles. The history of Israel can be studied superficially in one semester in University. To really understand the period and all the nuances, and the related historical processes, get a PhD. There are good lectures on YouTube by historians and good resources on the Internet that give you a taste but you need to put in time.

It's also about the semantics, what exactly do these terms mean, a common theme in the information war arena is to use words in unusual ways or to redefine them in a way more convenient to your cause.

Thanks for pointing out that such conflict must be considered serious. Maybe 500,000 Russians and 70,000 Ukranians have died.

Instead of "serious" I wanted to say "With serious possibility of escalation" I mentioned Asymmetric conflicts, as the two conflicts occupying our international News (Gaza & Ukraine) are good examples

I don't have any foundation to have an opinion on an invasion to Finland. I would expect there was a possibility of escalation as that is the only purpose of belonging to NATO. I would expect nobody to escalate over a Taiwan Invasion.

I think China won't seriously threaten Indian borders, just based on having nuclear weapons or not. (An opinion hanging of a spider threat)

Sure, they might be. But they also might not be. The odds really aren't that great, from what I've seen in my life.

Imagine you had an opportunity to make an investment. The performance odds of this investment are: 1) a 10% change of making 10 times your money, 2) a 60% chance of doubling your money, and 3) a 30% chance of losing ALL your money (not just the investment amount, but going completely bankrupt) and having your life completely ruined. Would you take that investment?

Of course these numbers are made up, but from what I've seen in life, it's probably not that far off: there's a non-zero, and fairly significant chance, of having a really awful kid that really screws up your life. If you're highly risk-averse, it's understandable I think why you might want to pass. Remember, estimates for sociopathy in the general population are 5-10%.

WWI, not WWII. Look again at my words and at the other replies.
That’s not why.

Credit scores don’t discourage competition. Competition can still exist within brackets.

The reason rates don’t differ much is because most of the rate is determined by factors outside of the lenders control. There’s a pretty small margin for them to compete on price with each other with. That’s why rates on stuff like mortgages are basically commoditized.

Something like this is what I've been thinking about post flight. In the heat of the moment ;), I was thinking about what SpaceX was learning about the ship's hot spots.

After more reflection, I realized that the bigger picture is learning about how quickly it decelerates and how quickly it heats up. With that data, they can design a different reentry profile. E.g. maybe it's better to "plunge" to lower altitudes and experience higher peak pressure for a shorter duration or maybe it's better to have a very gentle but slow reentry to minimize peak pressure. After seeing how robust the ship is (and knowing SpaceX :P), I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to go for a higher peak pressure/temp.

A better reentry profile is like massless heat shielding!

Maybe more challenging than the profile or optimizing the heat shield though: how are they going to reject heat from the flap joint?

Maybe relocating the flaps leeward, like Elon's been saying for a while, will do the trick

If you just want to make all icons visible then the easiest way is probably to adjust "defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding -int <value>" and "defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing -int <value>". Needs restart/logout to apply. Personally I set both to 6. Works well if you have a static number of icons.
The gradual, eventual, ultimate conclusion killer app of AI is to run the systems, debug apps like an SRE, manage warm datastores, and eventually write app code based on the desires of feedback and requirements descriptions from users, design new programming languages/formats for it, and later design silicon. The curious bit is how product managers will fit into this picture to perhaps supervise what is allowed, only to eventually removed. There's no conceivable job that can't be eaten partially or mostly by AI, if not nearly entirely eaten in the future.

At some region on the technological "singularity" timeline, there will can and will be fully-autonomous corporations. The question is: With corporate personhood, can a corporation exist, pay (some) taxes, reinvest in itself, and legally function without any human owners? This may also be contingent on whether or not a corporation conduct legal and business activities, i.e., if performed by a human agent or through some automated means, even if they were directed by AI management. IANAL, but I guess an autonomous corporation could be sued, and perhaps even the creators of the software used to create the AI that run it could also be potentially at risk.

Another approach is the one implemented in Estonia. A citizen there has the ability to query who has accessed their records [1]. Combined with proper laws, this feature lead to "some very public cases of government officials being caught accessing private data of Citizens - without any legitimate and authorized reason for such access."

Note that through this mechanism, the society is still a control society [2], even though citizen themselves have more to say in that control.

This is exactly why. Yes, this comment is in jest, but something like it is the culture in the US, from way back when it really was an unexplored continent where you could get rich just by doing anything.

This mindset has persisted to varying degrees, and it's why Americans are so opposed to a social safety net. After all, the only way for someone to be poor in the US is to deserve it.

This IBM viewpoint of PC's is well entrenched in enterprise IBM Mainframe support teams

I remember in 2010, having to present to a team of Mainframe techs at a bank about how we would be integrating an Identity solution (that ran on Windows servers) into their Mainframes.

They couldn't stop making comments about how useless Windows is and it's just a gaming platform. One guy ranted and raged so hard that he stood up and stormed out of the room.

I remember my Project Manager who was in the meeting looked at them and said 'Guys, we talked about this earlier'...

I can see where that mindset comes from, these guys have been drinking the IBM Kool-Aid for a long time

If it's an emergency of some sort, it's probably 100% covered. The thing though is that MedicAid is run similarly to Medicare where private insurers get involved but provide really shitty plans with terrible formularies and very limited choices for providers. Also, there's widespread healthcare provider bias, stigma, and discrimination against MedicAid patients.

TPMs are a cryptographic coprocessor with added platform state attestation functionality. That can for example be used locally for secure secret storage that is only available in certain platform states, or remotely to certify the state of a device trying to access a corporate network.

Of course TPMs can be (ab)used for DRM, but the same property in general to many ideas in cryptography. We still don't say AES or RSA are tools designed to restrict your rights.

In reality TPMs are almost always used to (attempt to) protect the user's data over restricting them.

I would argue that the discrete chip variation of them aren't very good at this (and even less good at DRM), but a lousy implementation doesn't mean the concept is bad. (As Foxboron mentioned earlier in this thread, discrete TPMs can still act as reasonably good "discounted" SmartCards, but they are bad at platforms state attestation.)

In fact I would have much preferred if the industry embraced the measured boot idea more instead of mainly pushing stricter verified boot schemes.
