Bonnie and Clyde were also a bit notorious.

I think it’s that couples can either average out a bit (destructive interference?) or ramp each other up to an insane degree (constructive interference).

Usually it’s a mix across attributes, so nothing too notable occurs. But obviously not in this case…
My take is they think they are a great power entitled to rule over their neighbours including the former soviet union and thus are entitled to attack all who oppose that by whatever ways including dumb things like disrupting the olympics and funding anti vaxxer and far right folk and the like. Not that I know that much - I'm kind of confused myself.

> TypeScript is a direct superset of JavaScript. Any valid JS is a valid TypeScript.

Kotlin on JVM is a direct superset of Java on JVM. Any valid Java is also valid Kotlin at the bytecode layer.

Correct
>Hum... Have you used them that way? And have you needed a project design to actually discover risks and estimate that you need to act on them?

Yes. These things are all over the place in defense.

One of the most important exercises in doing a Gantt chart is finding the "critical path" which is the set of tasks which can't slip without effecting the final timeline. If step two has two separate tasks that step 3 depends on, the longer task is on the critical path, the shorter is not because the shorter task can be delayed at least some without affecting when step 3 starts.

As the project continues you update the chart with what actually happened vs. your plans. The goal is to minimize changes, sometimes you can, sometimes you can't, but when there are changes you can see how the whole flow is affected and you can easily communicate the change in deadlines, changes in budgets, you can pull people off of one task and put them on another, etc.

In agile you do way less of this planning and the path is usually much more simple so you don't _need_ these tools to be successful.

> I'm curious if the algo is fast enough for real time or if it's only for renders.

Yeah, likewise. It definitely looks like it's formulated for optimizing paths rather than, say, simulating real-time physics, so I'm guessing not yet. From a quick scan of the paper, I didn't see anything on the complexity (O(N logN) or O(N^2) or whatever), but there were some timings:

Beefheart's music is fantastic and certainly does live up to his reputation.

But having said that he did have a very variable and sometimes terrible middle period (Bluejeans & Moonbeams and similar).
Temperature records are generally recorded in a controlled way for consistent readings using the same height, shade, etc. There have certainly been points on the earth that have gotten hotter than the official record. Whether that's enough to cause plants to spontaneously combust though, I have no idea.
This brings to mind the TLA saying of "our successes are secret. our failures are known." In today's counter espionage world, it seems all you have to do to remain invisible is not use tech. Only speak in person face to face. It's not surprising at all to me that spooks can't know everything

Those are air temperatures in the shade.

Direct sunlight gets much hotter, and in Death Valley for instance you can get third degree burns walking on sand dunes (not even black sand!) [https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/a-man-got-third-d...]

Furnace creek had a measured ground temp of 201F not that long ago.

That’s a lot closer to flash point than air temp. And localized reflections can easily boost that.
Parallel construction is mainly used in the context of intelligence sharing. The CIA and NSA don't give two flying fucks about the 4th Amendment, but the FBI needs criminal convictions that will stick in US courts, so they at least have to pay lip service to it. Conversely the CIA/NSA really want their methods to remain secret, but the FBI has to disclose their reasoning as part of prosecution. Traditionally, the CIA and FBI didn't talk to each other at all[0], until 9/11 happened and Congress forced them to, so parallel construction is how they avoid stepping on each other's toes.

That being said, that's all moot, because the article says the guy self-reported[1]:

> The man in the Jeep had reported the first fire that occurred on May 3, claiming to be a wildland firefighter who tried to put it out, authorities said. Investigators said they observed, however, a stark contrast in his reaction to the Salt Fire; he didn't attempt to report or extinguish it, even though he claimed in an interview that it was visible from his house.

And to add to the stupidity, his girlfriend voluntarily provided shoeprints to compare:

> Less than a mile from where the Salt Fire started, an agent from the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Office of Justice Services conducted a traffic stop of the suspected Jeep, with a man and his girlfriend inside.

> The Jeep’s tire tread patterns closely matched those near the fires, authorities said. A shoe print of the woman's Vans also matched the previously found impression, and the woman voluntarily gave her shoes to the FBI, it said.

More powerful than forensics or spyware is the fact that criminals suffer from profound stupidity. I mean, the reason why people say "crime doesn't pay" is because, in most cases, it literally doesn't. Crime is not an economically productive activity on net, but even for individuals, they rarely profit from it. The way you actually profit from crime is to make other people do the crime for you, so they get caught, like some kind of MLM pyramid scheme that eventually becomes the new state if left unchecked.

>A startup made for the purpose of acquisition was never a competitor

You cannot get acquired unless you represent a percentage of market share, have IP which will lead to greater market share, and/or have employees who can expand market share for a product.

>A big whale company that gobbles up some of the fifty startups that only have like 2% of the market total is not a competitive market at all.

A big whale company performing that many M&As to little startups is essentially fueling future competitors. If I was an investor I would see that market as valuable for the unicorn breakthrough possibility or at least an eventual acquisition exit event.

That's a shame, I would be alright with a stripped down version of it that has only the Microsoft specific as open source. I'm mostly curious given an open source release of it, how much would the wider open source community work on it. We saw that Go despite its core maintainers not porting it to Windows, got ported to Windows by the community.
my first car had a bad tie-rod-end, something wrong with the steering. It would chew through tires unevenly every 4 months or so. but the beauty was (20+ years ago) they were only 13" tires, and getting them rotated was dirt-cheap. So I'd do that and replace them quarterly with used ones for $20 a pop instead of fix the steering problem.

> Did they meet at a climate denial convention for radicals?

Why would you automatically assume this? The world has had pyromaniacs long before it was fashionable to make radical climate activism one's identity.
> You might think such a system would involve a thermostat, a microcontroller, and an actuator, but this design [...] has bimetallic arms with steel on the outer surface and copper on the inner surface. As the filament heats up, the arms warm up, causing the copper to expand faster than the steel. This expansion pushes the arms open, releasing the lighter. The coil spring then causes the handle to pop out, signaling that the lighter is ready.

Maybe I am in a picky mood, but for me the intro made it sound like all three items (thermostat, microcontroller, actuator) would not be necessary, though of course only the microprocessor is missing from the design (thermostat -> bimetallic arms, actuator -> spring).

IMVHO the problem lie in "specialization": in the past most technicians of any fields have a certain generic culture and comprehension of the world, these days they are so "specialized" to be unable to see the big picture at CHILDISH levels.

As a result no matter the skills, if you do not know the world you working on it's only by chance if you design something good for such world. Developers MUST KNOW the big picture.

Because it's the only logical conclusion and multiple Russians have already been arrested in France for plotting to disrupt the Olympics, including one who set himself on fire with chemicals in his hotel room. Oh and Russians have been doing this sort of thing all over Europe for the past few years.

If this were an internal political entity they would have already claimed responsibility and put out a manifesto.

Likely because most wildfires are accidents, even with accelerationist provocateurs being profoundly stupid and causing the thing they're worried about to get you to worry about it. People radicalized enough to do that are wildly uncommon.
I'd suggest you to read "The Book of Why"[1]. It is mostly about Judea's Pearl next creation, about causality, but he also covers bayesian approach, the history of statistics, his motivation behind bayesian statistics, and some success stories also.

In my time as a biochem undergrad and grad student, I had to memorize and regurgitate the Krebs cycle no less than four times. None of those romps through it addressed the question of how TF did those scientists figure it out.

There's the science of Karl Popper, where no statement can be considered scientific unless it is possible to devise an experiment to disprove it. And there's the science of education, where we memorize and regurgitate stuff.

Those two are stunningly different from each other. Yet, it's not possible to get to the mysterious work of actually doing Popper-level science without memorizing what went before. The critiques of this paper still ring true half a century on. I wish more students of science from primary school on up would pester their teachers and each other with the question, "how do you know?"

I disliked the ATLA movie before even seeing it because most of the characters didn't look like the original. This isn't some moral stance, there is simply such a thing as bad casting in a live adaptation. The movie sucked for plenty of other reasons of course, but even if it didn't, this would've detracted from it.

Idk if anyone was actually not watching the Ghost in the Shell remake over the casting. The characters look right. If someone out there is upset that the main character wasn't played by someone Japanese, I don't get it, the original character didn't even look Japanese.

I don't disagree that intelligence agencies fail, but I don't think that the attempted assassination of former-President Trump counts. The shooter appears to have acted completely alone, and so far it seems that he did not give obvious signs online before committing this (yes, he looked up some things about JFK's assassination, but that does not seem enough to raise real flags).

So there was no conspiracy, let alone a foreign one, for the intelligence agencies to have triggered on. This very much looks like a failure of the Secret Service agency, and it will be interesting to see what the final failure analysis looks like, and what they determine can be done better in the future.

And I think the "quality failures the rest of our government orgs are experiencing" is you projecting a bias. If you really think that things are going down hill, please find quantifiable metrics to show that.

Shoe print evidence has a high chance to lead to false convictions:

>> The National Institute of Justice, part of the U.S. Department of Justice, has just published a report which found certain techniques, including footprint analysis and fire debris, in forensic science were disproportionately associated with wrongful conviction

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/bad-science-and-b...

(https://archive.ph/4ezJo)

Also see wikipedia:

>> It must also be considered that footprints discovered at a crime scene remain fixed, while the wearer of the footwear continues on likely changing the wear of the shoe. Thus, unless the print is immediately matched its potential value may be lost. Also of concern is the lack of science and standards demonstrating that footwear marks are unique. There are a lack of scientific studies demonstrating how many characteristics are needed to determine a match with such evidence. This is similar to other forensic evidence such as bite mark analysis, tire tread analysis, etc. where there is little scientific evidence of its efficacy. In 2009, the National Academy of Sciences made the conclusion that, aside from DNA, there was little if not any, scientific evidence for many forensic disciplines, including footprint evidence.[13]
