Russian Moon Rovers. Impressive for 1970 and 1973.

Lunokhod 1, during its 322 Earth days of operations, travelled 10.5 km (6.5 miles) and returned more than 20,000 television images and 206 high-resolution panoramas. In addition, it performed twenty-five soil analyses with its RIFMA x-ray fluorescence spectrometer and used its penetrometer at 500 different locations.

Lunokhod 2, operated for about four months, covered 42 km (26 miles) of terrain, including driving into hilly upland areas and rilles. Lunokhod 2 held the record for the longest distance of surface travel of any extraterrestrial vehicle until 2014. It sent back 86 panoramic images and over 80,000 television pictures.

You aren’t upset that an entire party conspired to keep Biden on the ticket until he bombed a debate? What if he hadn’t bombed it but instead done “barely enough”? Isn’t this basically what Trump was just convicted of some felonies for recently?
I don't get this. Most of the rich world has universal health care, strong unions, shorter work weeks, longer paid vacations, uni seats for most anyone who can benefit, mass transit, even union reps on company boards, birth control, all that sort of lefty stuff.
It's not verbal flubs that are a problem. Tons of presidents had that tendency before (George W Bush, for example).
That's a bad faith suggestion. You know very well that it's better to have Harris focused on the campaign in this situation.

Failing US infrastructure has been singled out as a major pressing issue by US Engineers (professional societies, etc) for at least 15 years that I'm aware of.

It's been cited before 2016 as a trillion dollar problem.

The point is that this something that one POTUS chose to talk about and frequently hyped "Infrastructure Week" and also something that another POTUS chose to do something about.

> And any change is seen as blasphemy against the will of the founding fathers.

Anyone who uses this reasoning (I understand you’re not doing so) should immediately be shut up by quoting the inscription on the southeast interior wall of the Jefferson Memorial:

> I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

That’s as clear as can be: to honour the founding fathers’ intention, laws must not remain static.
In today's digital age, a brand's success depends not simply on the quality of its products or services. Effective communication with customers, especially through a consistent brand voice, has become very important.

In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a tool to help build and maintain brand voice. In this article, we'll take an in-depth look at how to use AI to create a consistent brand voice and use it to create an effective content strategy.

> your biases shouldn't have any impact on whether you thought someone performed better or worse than their opponent

That's arguably the definition of bias isnt it? Especially because political debates don't have objective winners or losers, declaring your bias before picking a winner in something that's only subjectively winnable does seem relevant.

This isn't a case of watching a soccer match and concluding "Gosh, I'm German, but I gotta admit Brazil won the 2014 world cup"
No, I am not upset about anything the DNC has done. Trump has more and nastier court cases (including a pedophilia case) than the convicted felony. The RNC is abhorrent and the two cannot be compared.

I heard just last night that domestically it’s now 68 years (or somebody is trying to make it 68), but this sucks for pilots who’ve been flying for a long time and are now doing mostly international flights, because the intl age is still 65. The upshot is they have to fly only domestically from 65-68 (and this can require retraining on smaller planes they don’t have currency with).

Which facts? I was wrong about the evidence needed for marketing authorization but, if I’m not mistaken, they would need that authorization in order to market the product in the first place so mentioning the FDA authorization would, in my opinion, potentially give people the wrong impression that the FDA has endorsed the product at a level (e.g. approval) which I don’t believe the FDA has done at this point.

All good points, I might have been slightly over-impassioned and under-informed in my original rant (though still salty at Microsoft's assault on the usability of Windows).

My understanding was that CrowdStrike breaking on Debian was actually the motivation for them moving to user-space on Linux. I'm surprised that, assuming they have the capability to do so, they haven't done the same on Windows.
Outsider here. Democrats are largely regarded as “Center right” outside of the US. I.e not very “left” at all.
The article makes it clear that there is a semantic difference between shortening and summarizing and that importantly summarizing requires understanding which ChatGPT most certainly does not have.

One example in the article is that if you have 35 sentences leading up to a 36th sentence conclusion, ChatGPT is very likely to shorten it to things in the earlier sentences and never actually summarize the important point.
I'm in the same boat. I think everyone dramatically underestimates how many of us Trump refugees there are. Some of us are never trumpers and actually voted for Biden, some of us held our nose and voted for Trump. But the extreme right that fuels MAGA doesn't have as much support as people think, and the main reason why Trump stands a chance this year is because the left has made no overtures whatsoever to the center and center-right.
"In which case I think the blame ultimately falls almost entirely on CrowdStrike"

I would say on the client for buying into CrowdStrike.

And also the client for having no contingencies and just accepting a vendor pinky-swear as meaningful.

CrowdStrike failed at their responsibilities too, I just mean that so did everyone else.

When you cede your own responsibilities to someone else and don't have that backed up with contractually enforced liability to make you whole when they fuck up, and also don't provide your own contingency so it doesn't really matter what some vendor does, that's on you. That's 100% entirely on you and it doesn't matter if a million other people also did the same utterly thoughtless and lazy thing.

What Can We Learn from the Computers of 1966?
Also helpful to note that the "location" can be virtual. For example you could have a lens into the hours field a string that contains an ISO-8601 formatted date, so you could do something like

let s = "20240722T193456.789-0800"
putStrLn $ 19840206T193456.789-0800 -- prints "20240722T203456.789-0800"

and they can be composed, so if you have some other lens that gets from your outer structure to an ISO-8601 formatted date string field, let's call that lens `fieldLens` then `fieldLens . hours` will get from your outer structure to the hours field of that date field.
Yes that was my take and why I posted it to the OP since they were asking if YC could potentially be manipulated due to political pressure from VC's.
I've tried them as a shortcut, and nearly all of them have been slower than just writing code. Think of it as a form of high-interest tech debt. If you're experienced, it's faster to pick up something lower code but not everyone has that luxury. Tech debt is still better than cash debt as long as you can throw away the prototype.

Don't worry too much about the stack. The basic principle is you'll have to iterate eventually, and so whatever you build will be scrapped once the users touch it anyway.
> neither I nor an AI will remember the actual words used […] To the extent that the AI only paraphrases

Many AIs have in fact reproduced copyrighted work in large portions, it’s one of the reasons there are a bunch of lawsuits.

> AI can generate a derivative work, but won’t do so without a prompt asking for one

This is an odd and vague claim. Which AI are you talking about? And why do you claim there’s any generative AI in existence that won’t remix from it’s training examples? Their design from the ground up is to create derivative works.

> AI is more like an instrument that can be used to violate copyright law

If the training data wasn’t legally acquired, using it to train in the first place may violate the law. People are trying to change copyright’s interpretation, but pending the outcome of that it’s pretty clear that today’s AI may have violated copyright law before generating any output.

The problem as I see it is that having a &mut reference to something lets you move it via mem::swap/replace (and maybe a few others?) -- but actually needing to do so is rare. It seems to me that if that weren't allowed, taking a &mut reference to a self-referential value would be perfectly safe.

Maybe there could have been a way to opt in to moving-via-reference for those rare cases when you need it. Or maybe this whole problem could have been avoided by making swap and replace unsafe? I'd love to see someone explore that design space.

i was reading zeller's book today and came to his example of delta-debugging minimization, which his ddmin algorithm solves in 48 tests, and it seemed like your 'easy' algorithm would be more efficient, so i hacked together a test program. your algorithm only takes 29 tests on this case. but because i couldn't remember your algorithm clearly, i first accidentally implemented a different variant that also works, but only takes 21 tests. it's not more efficient in the general case. still, it seems interesting, because it is arguably simpler than your 'easy' version (at least if we sweep the call to first_satisfying_bisect under the standard library) but still preserves logarithmic performance when the satisfying set it finds is of bounded size:

def bisect_dumb(p, s):
end, need = len(s), []

while True:
need.sort()
needed = [s[j] for j in need]
last = first_satisfying_bisect(lambda i: p(s[:i] + needed), 0, end)
if last == 0:
return need

end = last - 1
need.append(end)

the full program, with comments, is at http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/bisectreduce.py. the corresponding version of bisect_easy would be

def bisect_easy(p, s, targets=None, need=[]):
if targets is None:
targets = list(range(len(s)))
if not targets or p([s[i] for i in sorted(need)]):
return []
if len(targets) == 1:
return [targets[0]]

m = len(targets)//2
left, right = targets[:m], targets[m:]

left_reduced = bisect_easy(p, s, left, right + need)
right_reduced = bisect_easy(p, s, right, left_reduced + need)

return left_reduced + right_reduced

bisect_easy is much faster if the minimal set it finds, of some size m, is a long substring a long way from the beginning of the input; i think it takes time proportional to log m + log n in that case, while bisect_dumb takes m log n

however, in cases where hashing scatters the size-m minimal set all over the search space, instead of compacting it into a little lump, i think it also ends up with m log n performance

i may get to implementing the easy/hard algorithm and zeller's ddmin. also, i have the intuition that, as with quicksort, trisection will have consistently but not overwhelmingly better performance than bisection for this purpose (though not in bisect_dumb)

Independent here. Did not vote Trump in 2020.

I tend to agree that for a party that spends a lot of time talking about the importance of democracy, we’re in fairly undemocratic territory here. However, you could make the argument that voters did kind of vote for Harris when they voted for Biden.
I have sometimes voted write-in for fictional characters, in races where all the candidates really are just that bad.

For president specifically, I usually vote for the least obnoxious or most amusing third party.
This sounds appealing. Is OCI the only cloud to offer this level of control?
No what? What part of the data I posted are you contradicting? Parent and I were talking growth rates, not absolute numbers. Sure, after a few years of slightly negative growth, the absolute numbers might be lower than at the very end of the negative growth. But the growth rate is now positive (for several years in a row) and expected to climb higher over the next few decades. If you think you’ve got something the CBO, SSA, CDC, and Census Bureau don’t, please share it.
Between that and one with 'dictatorial impulses', I'll take the half senile guy.

I've recently wondered what a sortitionist democracy would look like, something were the legislative and executive branches are randomly selected throughout the popukation much like a jurry to serve for a few years. I'm not aware of any places in history that had something like that.

I've actually had a few runins in my past with some US senators where I got to actually sit and listen and converse about some problems. I was always unimpressed with the caliber of the man, to be honest, in terms of both their emotional and cognitive prowess. Having random people vote on the issues probably wouldn't yield worse results.

Something I've come to believe is that US democracy doesn't naturally select for anyone based on leadership skills, credentials, or any virtue that is needed in such a role. It seems to select for people who can get votes, which can mean a lot of things. I think that is a key issue.
Make up your mind, are you mad they pressured him to withdraw or mad they tried to keep him in the race?

Given your voting record and the fact that you’ve just criticized the democrats for two opposite courses of action in back to back posts (and I see your now several other posts hoping to find democrats mad at the DNC), I think you’re a plain ol’ conservative who’s inclined to find fault with the Democratic Party regardless of what specifically they do.

Biden’s account is from 2007 and has over 38 million followers. There’s nothing strange about the way it was announced.
The guy has no intellectual curiosity, he thrives on the attention of being president but doesn’t bother with briefings, instead calling into FoxNews to complain about one vanity thing or another. That’s the problem really: the people who will work for him in a second term by now have learned how to manage him by stroking his ego, there will be much less chaos than term 1, and a lot more damage.
It means that age, by itself, should not be a disqualifying factor.
The same thing applies to HTML, though: I would shudder if I saw a parser implemented for most HTML injection prevention. The correct answer in almost all cases is to escape the HTML using the language's standard library or the web framework's tooling.

The only situation where a parser makes sense over simple escaping routines is if you actually intended to accept a subset of the language that you're injecting into rather than plain text, in which case you'll need more than just a parser to ensure you don't have anything dangerous—you'd need to do a lot of error-prone analysis of the AST afterward as well.
The same reason we don't have a race or sex limit on the Presidency. We should only have competency limits regardless of any other factors. My grandfather died at 101.
