Targeting is problem with air launched long range intercept. Aegis ships have good radars on them. Aircraft have much weaker and SM-6 itself even weaker.

You need to add dual seeker (radar+ infrared seeker) for intercept in very long range. Both Chinese very long range air to air and Israel Aerospace in Arrow are already using them.

I get what you're saying but a part of the culture in my experience is tinkering and upgrading your bike, that doesn't have to necessitate spending huge amounts of money, especially if you do a lot of work yourself and buy parts second hand. The sport might appeal less with all that stripped away, but who knows maybe it would also be interesting to standardize some aspects.

From the post: "You see how red Chilean Spanish is? It means it’s quite different. In the beginning of Grad School, I could understand all my Hispanic classmates, but I had a hard time understanding the Chileans!"

It’s such a weird pissing contest because if you’re alive today that means your ancestors survived to produce you and that’s saying something as most groups and cultures, etc have not survived to the present day.

It's not an unspecified calamity. Failure modes for grids are known.

The part about not eating too much fibre because it irritates the gut reminded me of an amusing anecdote in Dan Martin's autobiography, where he talked about coming (I think) third in The Tour and was sitting with Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas from Team Sky (now Ineos Grenadiers) after the finish in Paris. He was looking forward to a big burger and chips, and Froome and Thomas were discussing how they were really looking forward to a nice salad (i.e. lots of fibre). He partly admired the dedication, but at the same time wondered how on earth they could live like that.

> Time-zone changes are already very easy to handle and are sufficient for dealing with this problem without having to use a leap second or leap minute ever.

TZ changes are a display delta against UTC. The closest thing we get to universal time 'changing' are leap years and February 29, and we regularly get stories about people messing that up. If something as common as February 29 is fumbled, what are the odds of pulling a one-off event?

And as someone who was a sysadmin when the US changed its TZ rules many moons ago, the sudden rule change was anything but straight-forward given the fairly static nature that they had been for the long history of software development that had occurred until that point: a lot of software is US-developed, and there was little/zero consideration to updating rules. (Though I think that event caused a lot of developers to be more understanding.)
Ooh, I wasn't aware of this, but I recently wrote something conceptually similar (albeit slightly lower-level - it's more of a "macro assembler with python syntax"):

The alcohol really surprises me given how meticulous they are about everything else - especially sleep monitoring. After a big win, it's not uncommon for the entire team to have sparkling wine or beer that night. Maybe not a big deal for one day races, but with stage races they usually have another hard race the next day. On the podium during stage races, victors will often drink sparkling wine/beer too. After winning a stage at last year's Vuelta a España (one of the major multi-day stage races) Sepp Kuss took a huge long chug on the podium - and then went on to when the entire race [1]!

Some riders used to drink during races too. Freddy Maertens was able to do it and still win [2].

I meant the East would scale up consumption. The Chinese want cars and dishwashers and vacuum cleaners too, and I’m pretty bullish on air conditioning in India.

I think we overestimate how much is proxy emissions even now. Those are whole modern growing societies not just factories for us. Our view of climate change and carbon emission tends to be, like other things, very Euro-and-US centric and provincial.

What I’m saying is that if you turned us off you’d only delay the oncoming train, not stop it.
I think the point is that because there are no limits initially, it makes it extremely easy for the President to murder half the government who disagree with him as an official act. As long as he uses marines instead of his own 9mm hand pistol on the street it would be an official act because the SCOTUS decision assumes everything he does as a precursor is fine. It provides cover for him to act in that manner, and by then there is no one to impeach and convict and then hold him criminally liable. If you have read Project 2025, then you know their first act will be to fire everyone in the executive branch and military and install only loyalists. I think people are seriously underestimating what Trump and his followers are up to.

When white Europeans invaded Australia they disrupted and displaced many indigenous people, either incidentally via colonising farmland, or intentionally via snatching kids and putting them in boarding schools etc. Slaughters/massacres also occurred, especially early in colonisation.

Given indigenous Australians favoured oral storytelling rather than written records a great many traditions and histories were lost during that time. While efforts by Europeans to catalogue and record traditions has occurred (as seen in this piece), only in the past few decades have many tribes/nations been able to properly explore and research their past.

A recent example I can cite, anecdotally, was an Aboriginal man who told me he was only able to learn his native language* because German missionaries has recorded it in the 1800s and released the records back to the people a century later.

* There's hundreds of indigenous dialects throughout Australia.
Math is not a science. Math is fundamentally opposite of science.

In science nothing can be proven. Proof is exclusively the domain of mathematics. The Lack of proof is foundational to science, it’s built into the core axiom of the scientific method.

This axiom is actually the reason why science is so “bad” because nothing can really be confirmed. But something like psychology is on a whole different level because of the replication crisis. Psychology has outright fraud going on.
one could argue that they weren't invented, merely found. nothing is invented, just discovered in math :-)

Call me ignorant but I am surprised that there are people in the engineering realm that still don't use a VCS for everything.
A good point is made.

If you're in a hole, the best way out is not to keep digging. It's hard to see that you have to accept a delay but a delay is exactly what you need when you're not making good progress. Slow down, finish shit, move on. Same with load. Sometimes just gotta do less at once.

- the worst code quality is when engineers who aren't already experts in a specific thing can't experiment. This is multiplied 10x for junior engineers.

- the most qa rejections happen when engineers need to work 10-12 hours straight to complete a feature and it will always be sub par even at the end. You pay shortly for problems because you didn't let anyone think deeply.

- at some point you need to be able to declare bankruptcy and abandon work because otherwise you'll sink.

There's still no Caldav support or scheduling, and a lot of things are annoying in Mail, of course some of these are hard to solve with E2E, but at this point, their E2E claim is also half-baked and mostly for marketing, why not fix all of things?

What's the rationale behind releasing yet another half-baked product?

> I've seen EU night power draw is about 87-107 GW, so 85% of the area of Rhode Island but in Australia

And what's your proposal for getting that energy to the EU from Australia?

> And our day provides their night.

And who's providing your day if you're busy providing someone else's night?

> Everyone here knows the thing they show.

Oh, I doubt it. I keep seeing how people keep pretending that night doesn't exist or how it's easy to provide EU's electricity from Australia during the night.

> 40,000 km, requires 1 m^2 cross section to keep the resistance down to 1 Ω when using Aluminium; this requires just over a year of current global production of aluminium and has a material cost of a few hundred billion dollars at current metal prices.

For a single cable with no redundancy, unknown points of ingress/egress and how to handle that much power in those points of ingress/egress etc. And not pricing in the cost of actually making such a cable, and the cost to actually lay it securely, maintenance costs etc.

> Which is why it's a political problem.

I'm still waiting to hear an actual solution to getting continuous 107GW of power from Australia to the EU. Oh, at the same time keeping up with fluctuating energy demand, frequencies etc. And not a fantasy of redirecting Earth's entire aluminium output to building a single 40 000-kilometre cable.

> Half a billion cars multiplied by let's say 60 kWh per car is 30 TWh; current global electricity use (which includes daytime) is about 2 TW

Something tells me those cars need to be charged somehow, this is probably done by another 40 000 km cable from Australia.

This also assumes that all of those cars and busses and trucks are somewhat continuously and consistently plugged into energy grids, with no disruptions, which is not true: https://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/179114...

Edit:

> China has an actual proposal for a demo project to go further across the Pacific and connect to Chile.

Quick googling didn't reveal any such proposal for a ~12000-kilometre cable. The longest proposal is to connect Morocco to Britain with a 3800-kilometre cable, and even that will be an engineering feat of epic proportions if it's not scam/vaporware

I fully expect in somewhere around 3-6 months the dam will burst and we're going to start hearing more and more about all the teams out there that are pouring tens of millions of dollars into AI and all they have to show for it is a worse version of whatever it is they were doing.

To placate the AI fans, that's not because AI isn't interesting, it's because that's how these hype cycles always go. I remember when everything had to be XML'd. XML has its uses, but a lot of money was wasted jamming it everywhere because XML Was Cool. AI has its uses, but it is still an engineering tool; it has a grain, it has things it is good at, it has things it can't just wave a magic wand and improve, the demarcation between those two things is very, very complicated, and people are being actively discouraged from thinking about those lines right now.

I'm jealous; I didn't know LaTeX existed when I was 11; my dad probably did but he was pretty firmly in the WYSIWYG camp and didn't feel compelled to tell me about it (which, you know, fair enough, I was 11).

Yeah, usually what would happen is I'd turn in 3-4 assignments with my handwriting, my teachers would see that it's completely illegible, they'd ask me about it, and in that conversation I would say "if you want I'm happy enough to type it out". To be clear, my handwriting is really, really, bad, I usually can't even read it myself. It was slightly better in high school since I was writing more often but the teachers really would have trouble. Usually for tests where I had to do things with a pen and paper, I would do my work with my illegible stuff, then very very slowly and painstakingly write the final answer as clean as I could and then circle it.

I guess I got lucky with having some teachers that were OK with it. A part of me kind of feels like I should have just worked on my penmanship but I genuinely do think that there are a lot of advantages to doing math with TeX or MathType. One thing I really like is that since copying takes no effort, there's no reason to not show every step, no matter how insignificant. I think my teachers appreciated that too; when I would make a mistake, it was never ambiguous to where the mistake happened because every step was displayed.
Somewhat related. I'm annoyed when people complain about their workload.

Staffing is a management problem. If you don't have the budget to hire people, just do your best and let the work pile up. It's literally not your problem.

The worst thing you can do is to go "above and beyond", not only do you burn out but you're signaling to management that your workload is fine. Because all most people see is the bottom line -- is xyz task done or not.
