Russia's professional army plus reservists was about 2.1M before the war.

Add 2-300K volunteers who signed up since to replace professional soldiers departing, out of patriotism or because pay was increased 3-4x. Even with all that, Russia still won't have drafted anybody in the pool of about 20M ex-conscripts who went through basic military service in their youth.

They can absolutely sustain that and much more from a purely military point of view. Of course, if you involve public opinion in these matters, 1'000 a day is indeed a bit much for what is not a defensive war.
> if you are good enough to write perfect tests for your code, just write perfect code. If you aren’t perfect at writing tests, how do you know the tests are complete, bug free, and actually useful?

This was the original quote. Just because one aspect of a system is difficult to test doesn't make this quote true.

> No, they often aren't, and UI can be complex to test.

It can be but I've seen different ways to get confidence through testing. Just because it's complex doesn't mean we shouldn't do things to improve our confidence that what we're building works.

Go back to my example above: I guarantee that a repair has been tested, returned to the customer and failed the test after it was fitted. Why? The fault was elsewhere. But testing gave him confidence the generator wasn't the source of the problem.
Articles like this remind me of that one time I wrote a 6502 simulator in Turbo Pascal (complete with a primitive text mode disassembler where you could view and edit the machine code stored in memory) as a semester break project. It's of course very far from the complexity of today's CPUs, but basically they still work the same, and all of the optimizations of modern CPUs (pipelining, various cache levels, parallel execution, prefetch, branch prediction etc. etc. etc.) should be transparent to the user - of course, if you want to eke out the last bit of performance (targeting a specific CPU), it helps to be aware of all of that, but you don't need it for understanding how a CPU works.
These sweeping conclusions are extreme. As a regular listener (and occasional, amateur, performer) of classical music, I find it dismissive and ignorant that the author chooses to paint so many talented musicians with the same brush.
Enjoy it while it lasts. Marketers have been wising up to that trick.
Yes. I just did imagine it for you. Are you a lawyer? Do you spend time making yourself aware of the laws, bylaws and codes in effect in your area? If it makes you feel less burdened to check first, then at the very least, don't be one of the people who inevitably complains when they find out what they've done draws unwanted attention to yourself.

It's government. You pay for it. Why you wouldn't expect it to be useful to you is beyond me.
The picture's caption is kind of unnecessary. That's only happened once in history. If you haven't seen Saving Private Ryan, the landing scene still stands the test of time.

If that were the case you would expect to see large growths of it in the wild, right? Whilst I do see it in the wild, I've never seen any situation where it looks to be taking over. I just see individual plants occasionally.
The solution for most people is not to have frequent trips to a destination that's 10 hours' driving distance or to use high speed rail. Comparing rocket fuel to airplane fuel may look one option look favorable but that's not the whole picture

Datasette 1.0a14: The annotated release notes
Am I missing something? From the article:

"“An employee working in IT/ITeS/BPO sector may be required or allowed to work for more than 12 hours in a day and not exceeding 125 hours in three continuous months.”

Of course, requiring employees to work 12 hrs/day is torture, but 125 hours in 3 months is nothing: in a normal 40-hour workweek, you'd work that much in slightly over 3 weeks. At 12 hrs/day, they'd fulfill their 125-hour quota in about 10.5 days and then be able to take 80 days off for paid vacation. Is there some kind of misprint here?
FYI, when most people say "diffusion" they are referring to "latent diffusion" (which is identical to "stable diffusion"). As for GAN's role, it's more like what I reference in the other comment. I wouldn't call them "part" of every (latent) diffusion model, but I would say they're a common part of the pipeline to the production of quality images (so I'll not deny "part").

As for audio, the above comment is true. This is typically at (as referenced) the end stage of the model. You'll also find Normalizing Flows commonly used in the middle of the model and used so you can have interpretable control over your latent space. NFs are a commonly overlooked architecture, but if you get to learning about Neural ODEs (NODEs), SDEs, Schrodinger Bridges, etc, then you'll find these are in the same family of models. If you like math you'll likely fall in love with these types of models.
Nice work!

So you wanted to avoid to work with epsilon-delta in the reals

I'm talking about the realities of actually living in a community. Something as simple as not mowing your lawn may actually be against local codes. Your neighbors may be the type to use code enforcement against you if they don't like you. Your code enforcement officer may just be eager. There could be any of a number of simple misunderstandings along the way.

Who knows? What I do know is you will solve nothing by pretending it's petty and for sheer prideful lack of imagination can't bring yourself to pick up a phone and spend 3 minutes asking questions.
Blocked by Sophos (at work) because “ParkedDomain”. I fucking love this timeline.
The author uses a code snippet that looks like the average Python code:

Untyped, non-descriptive objects calling each other randomly, with no chance for the reader to figure out what is going on.

So in this case auto is harmful. In many other cases it isn't.
Using one letter variables and the such is excusable if you are new to programming and don't know better or if you use it in such a local context that the short length helps readability or if it is a "known" short variable like i or some sort of speaking short variable like db.

I like to think of myself as a good programmer, but whenever I encounter code where I have to figure out what "x" means, when it could have been a speaking variable like "accumulative_duration_ms" I feel like someone is trying to be clever.

I see using auto in a similar light. Explicit return types are good. In fact there's a trend to retrofit typing into languages that don't have it. You showing me that you value not thinking about the return type over specifying explicit return types is a red flag to me.

If we as programmers should value anything, it is the time and mental resources of the person who has to read our code in the future — very often that person is going to be you, yourself.
I believe 'var' was introduced in C# to make it much easier to work with LINQ, where you can easily return a subset of properties - without var you would have had to declare interfaces. I think ReSharper is responsible for the rapid proliferation of using var everywhere.

Perfect is the enemy of good. I fly on rare occasions and I'm against flying unnecessarily. I drive a vehicle (shared with partner) because I don't want to be a hermit, yet I'm against driving in general (of course there'll need to be exceptions for when you're moving or too old to walk to/from public transport) and rather in favor of building out the more sustainable alternatives we have already today. That's not the whole solution because we will still run out of lithium etc., but it's the best we can do today even if it's not perfect
I work in banking in the EU, we process SEPA messages only (not SWIFT) and the standards for interbank communication are very strict and top-down. I.e. (fictional), if you want to charge a fee when you return money after you received an investigation, it MUST be put in "field xyz" and if you do so, "field abc" MUST contain the code "ABC1" or "DEF2" etc.

The times when the standards are expanded or updated are fun (https://www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/what-we-do/epc-paymen...), translating hundreds of pages of PDF into working code and then have hundreds of banks implement those changes in the same nightly hour during a weekend...but once it is working, there is no ambiguity or (horror) manual intervention in payment messages. Either you as a bank send valid messages and they are processed, or you don't and they get rejected.
That sounds bad for Google... ?

Thoughts from Ten Years of Blogging
A gentle reminder: test your website a bit before advertising it in public. Basic aspects are broken or don't behave the way one would expect.

You mention IPv6, but it shows my IPv4 address in the website. I have a "proper" IPv6 address and other similar services can discover it, including a simple Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip

Discovering IPv6 robustly requires an embedded iframe or a separate API service that is advertised only with AAAA records. It can't be done in a single request or with a single DNS record. Conversely, the IPv4 endpoint must use A records only.

(Hilariously the IPv4 info API request goes via IPv6!)

The advertised "curl ip.network/more" doesn't work. It might actually work with "curl" very specifically, but with any other client such as PowerShell it returns HTML instead of a JSON response:

C:\> (Invoke-RestMethod https://ip.network/more ).OuterXml
<html><head><meta charSet="utf-8" /><meta name="viewport"
content="width=device-width" /><title>What's My Public IP
Address | ip.network</title><meta name="description"
content="Check my public IP address and lookup any ip4 &amp;
ipv6 address detail on ip.network" /><script defer="" data-

Some working alternatives for anyone interested in similar what-is-my-address APIs that work correctly with JSON and IPv6:

Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api.ipify.org?format=json'
Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api64.ipify.org?format=json'
Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api4.my-ip.io/v2/ip.json'
Invoke-RestMethod 'https://api6.my-ip.io/v2/ip.json'
Invoke-RestMethod 'http://ip-api.com/json/'
A bit over a year ago I lost a dear friend, while his girlfriend was pregnant.

The feeling of seeing something the person will never use again is soul wrenching. I wept when I read the line "No salt. No salt means that he’s not cooking. He’ll never cook again."

The child is a ray of light for me whenever I see it, I hope the family can find a little comfort in this piece of him that will be brought into the world.

I have followed this story for a while now and wish the family a brighter path in the future. Thank you for focussing my thoughts on what is important, instead of the daily tech grind.

It's the reduced caloric intake that does it, not the specifics of the diet. But also

> Patients are given low-calorie meal replacement products such as soups, milkshakes and snack bars for three months

Something that goes below the radar is adherence - when someone else provides you with every single meal, sticking to a diet is much easier compared to when you're on your own and every meal is a choice that you make. It would be interesting to know how many people go back to their old habits once the program ends.
There's also things like a CMOS Z80 coupled with static ram. Where you still deal with propagation delay, but you can single step the clock and everything works like you expect. Mentioned, as it would fit pretty well in the code model the linked project implements.

Trains can work great for either passengers or freight. The problems arise when you try to do both at the same time (on the same line). If the US was to dramatically improve its passenger service it would have to either build an entirely new set of parallel tracks (which would be very expensive) or dramatically worsen its rail freight offering, which would greatly increase the number of trucks of the road.

The full school institution actually do it. Teachers tell students to stop speaking to each others for most courses during the week. Moreover some teachers explicitly talk about the joy of quietly reading books, and directly ask students to do so.

I'm fine with the way school works, especially considering the limited resources they have. Nevertheless, teachers do not often encourage extroverted skills that are useful in group work, oral presentations, etc. Exams seem to favor people that are able to stay hours long alone thinking about abstract concepts.

Is clockless useful in the face of modern ASIC tools? Not that you were suggesting in either direction, but it's been something in the back of my head for a while now.

Sure, there's a slight power and latency advantage in avoiding flip flops themselves but every tool has slack stealing and so the core advantage everyone seems to claim clockless (that is, the ability to have different latencies for all your different pipelines) isn't that unique anymore and hasn't been for a long time. Is it dead, can I stop worrying about the async demons :)

I suggest a simple take, it's essentially evident that the climate change, and we know from history that's always happen. How it will change it's very uncertain.

As a result we need to been able to adapt, which design allow us to adapt? A spread life, small semi-autonomous buildings, something quick to be built, with all raw materials easy to source locally, transformable at small scale locally, with the littlest dependency of fixed on-land large infra. Oh, actually is the sole part of the Green Deal who seems to work.

New single-family homes, sheds, well insulated, designed to use the Sun as much as possible, with THE VERY SAME DESIGN in all climate. Thinks seriously: do you know any working smart-city? Neom, Arkadag, Innopolis, the original Fordlandia? Do you know large projects that do works well? Conversely do you have seen or built a modern home, a modern shed, and hey, that's worked? Do you realize how "identical" are modern small buildings from the poles, the tropic, deserts etc? How easy to adapt they are?

Now decide for yourself which part of the Green New Deal can realistically be done and which can't.
I don't personally disagree with the sentiment, but the prevailing message we are constantly getting on places like HN is that you should "release early", "move fast and break things" etc. So by that standard they're doing the right thing. And hey, they got you to test it for them and even describe how it needs to be fixed.

I didn't say it doesn't try, I said relatively little gets built. Crossrail is a great project, notable for its uniqueness, and the fact that so much is underground (the only place you can build nowadays, and even then just barely). HS2 has to go above ground and doesn't seem to really be happening.
It seems very clear and easy to use, well done! I am wondering if there is any test environment like with Stripe in order to validate the flow in development?

Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, we're using ChatGPT 3.5 for now and we will certainly switch to GPT-4o mini in the near future. It already works with ChatGPT 4 but we noticed that the cost increase was not worth the minor improvement of quality.

I tried your example with ChatGPT 4 and it's somewhat better but not perfect: "I've even come to hate my brother and younger brother."

We hope that the quality will improve with the cheapest (and also fastest) models available.

I see what you mean in that flying will always be something humanity does. We're not going to outlaw it, I have no illusions in that regard. Way too convenient and economically beneficial. Working on making it more accessible when we haven't made it even close to sustainable (with most of the solutions here today, it just needs to be scaled up and rolled out) instead of working on sustainability or alternatives to flying under a pretense of "it'll be better eventually!" is what I object to
Exactly. Most Americans have to commute long distances crossing multiple states. Daily commutes between places as far apart as Texas and Florida are common. Lots of people working in New York commute by car every day from Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, North Carolina, and even Mississippi. There aren't any kind of clusters of people living together in the US, normally called "cities" in other countries, because Americans all live equally spaced apart across the continent, so that's why public transit can't work in the US.
> and the barriers to entry are incredibly low.

Yes and no. Technical barrier to entry is low. It is also relatively easy to do something that your friends will say: wow that sounds great. It is totally another thing to make something good enough that they will play it several times a day on their own. Look at rushes and jams released by amateur musicians: the average quality is super super low. Not super low as being painful to listen, but super low as "sounds unfinished/incomplete/dull, I have no desire to play it again".

The "correction" (more like a warning) is in the trust one should have in those institutions and the data they produce.

Thus, treating anyone skeptical of the complete theory of human-induced global warming (which is different from not wanting to reduce pollution, mind you) as a troglodyte who "goes against the SCIENCE^tm" isn't wise at all.
