The Shahed drone can't use it's INS system to communicate with a ground operator or reprogram itself. As the other comment says, it's basically a glorified cruise missile that has the autonomy of a Roomba. Disabling a Shahed with another drone may have happened, but it's certainly not the primary threat to the Shahed when compared to CIWS or SAMs.

AI targeting was debuted in the Patriot missile system, which does technically field the required elements of a hands-off kill chain. But TERCOM is not AI nor was it debuted in the 90s with the TLAM. The original BLOCK-I variants of the Tomohawk (and many versions released afterwards) were no more autonomous than the Shahed-136.

Sports betting is a market.

Like any market, those with knowledge and power systematically enrich themselves by extracting wealth from those without.

If sports betting should be banned because it exploits those without wealth or knowledge, then other markets with many naive participants should also be banned, such as markets for stocks and crypto.

Thanks. Great question, improved trust, quality and experience would be the main areas.

We can do better on trust by cultivating it from this caring demographic and supporting them with a fair process. Trust for example that the product you are buying is actually in the condition stated. Parents would likely pay a small premium for this.

We feel that competitors in this field have done well expanding globally but at the same time have not done enough to improve and move forwards the overall experience of buying and selling secondhand. Even as a tiny startup we feel we are already better than the market leader in some of these regards.

Lastly by targeting only parents it allows us to change and optimise the whole process for them specifically. For example we prioritise time saving features (no bidding or offers) and we can offer services that don't make sense to non parents (school clothing).
«Deal» as in "I was dealt this"? As in, you play a cretinous game and we should be part of it? You seem to say, you called 'democracy' a game in which "who is elected rules, whatever the means that brought to election" - i.e. you are stating that a game is there which is pure filth. To that, you also seem to add that no judgement or criticism should be added, because the game would be under some unexplained extraordinary protection. And you are also resolving "bestiality" with "dislike", as if arbitrary, as if relativistic.

Hilariousness not fitting.

... yes, and of course in retrospect of 2008, COVID, land war in Europe, "totally not a war in the Middle East" ... who knows what's the right "worst case" scenario.

But. But. There are clear difference between business as usual and blatant charlatanism masquerading as BAU. (See the snippet below, highlighting the bad deals between 2006 and 2008.[1])

And rating agencies just issued AAA or whatever. This of course points to problems with the industry not with science. (See also the linked reddit thread.[2])

D. Fallen Angels

Next we examine structured finance securities that suffered the most severe downgrades. From 1983 to 2008, 11% of the tranches were eventually downgraded 8 or more notches (fallen angels). Table 7 decomposes these fallen angel tranches by their original credit rating. Tranches rated below Ba3 cannot fall more than 8 notches by definition (the lowest rating, C, is precisely 8 notches below Ba3). Surprisingly, we find that most fallen angels were originally rated AAA (19%). Tranches originally rated Baa2 or A2 make up the next largest portions of fallen angels at 12% and 10%, respectively. Clearly, some of this is supply driven (every CDO has a AAA tranche, but not every CDO has a Aa1 tranche). Table 7 also shows that nearly all of the fallen angel tranches (86%) were issued between 2006 and 2008, underlining the poor quality of recent deals.

This approach works very well. I've had dozens of extremely remote systems hooked up this way for about 8 years. The only problem I've seen is that occasionally the server ssh process will get stuck, so you have to log in to the server and kill it. It seems to happen when a remote goes offline and reconnects without closing the old connection first.

If I were doing it now, I'd probably use wireguard, probably. This is simpler to set up and works great.

But is it proportional to the investment of time and people participating in it. If you take the amount of money/people invested into the sciences at a point in time , lets take: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_Conference

And then, put the number of contributors and the rate of progress against one another, my guess is that you would see a massive slowdown of progress, so massive actually, that explenations about the slowdown abound. There is the "all easy apples have been picked" theory, the "only life&death systemic competition forces contributors to produce good science" theory and a ton of others. All basically trying to explain the same phenomena- which could also be explained by: "hackers, hacking hackers, hacking processes, leave no financial substance behind to have people who actually do the scientific leg-work."

- remote video monitoring from the Philippines. Great way to economically monitor customer behavior.

- built in tech for capturing replays and sharing to social. Awesome and really scratches the sharing itch.

In golf some extra challenges are:

- safety - a golf ball at 160mph is far more dangerous than a ping ping ball, literally life threatening.

- cleanliness - you don't want people hitting balls into your shiny impact screen using their filthy mud covered clubs. Need some way to monitor people's clubs at check in time. Could again be the Philippines crew. Or make them use the in-house clubs - more capital outlay and ongoing expense

- need a gaming computer and sim licence installed on it. Expensive to have sitting idle between customers
That's alright, see, because I have no filesystems, no tarballs, no backups, no files on any kind of media with timestamps before 1970, and indeed, no one can except by manually setting those timestamps -- and why bother doing that?!

So any pre-1970 32-bit signed timestamps will be in... not spreadsheets, in what? In databases? No, not either. So in some sort of documents, so software consuming those will need fixing, but we're not going to see much teleporting of 1902-1970 timestamps to 2038-2106. I'm not concerned.
They automated away all the manual labor though.

So then, obviously, you've been personally responsible and tried to replicate all of the studies that led to the conclusion that microplastic concentrations in reservoirs are increasing, as well as the ones that concluded that bioaccumulation of microplastics have deleterious effects on human health, and then got them peer reviewed, right? And you also decided that 'personal responsibility' is actually tacitly accepting that when petrochemical lobbyists write op-eds that deny these scientific consensuses and that you don't need to make any lifestyle adjustments and their clients don't need to make any changes to their supply chain, they're telling the truth. Truly heroic that you still have time to shitpost on HN after all that.
I am generally on your side of this debate, but Bitcoin is a reference that is in favor of the opposite position. Crypto is/was all hype. It's a speculative investment, that's all atm.

> have glibc provide a mechanism for other libraries (likely more core/widely used libs) to support both ABIs simultaneously

The linked article is wrong to imply this isn't possible - and it really doesn't depend on "GLIBC provide a mechanism". All you have to do is:

* Compile the library itself with traditional time_t (32-bit or 64-bit depending on platform), but convert and call time64 APIs internally.

* Make a copy of every public structure that embeds a time_t (directly or indirectly), using time64_t (or whatever contains it) instead.

* Make a copy of every function that takes any time-using type, to use the time64 types.

* In the public headers, check if everything is compiled with 64-bit time_t, and if so make all the traditional types/functions aliases for the time64 versions.

* Disable most of this on platforms that already used 64-bit time_t. Instead (for convenience of external callers) make all the time64 names aliases for the traditional names.

It's just that this is a lot of work, and little benefit to any particular library. the GCC 5 std::string transition is probably a better story than LFS, in particular the compiler-supported `abi_tag` to help detect errors (but I think that's only for C++, ugh - language without room for automatic mangling suck).

(minor note: using typedefs rather than struct tags for your API makes this easier)
NixOS switched. And they're source-based, but with actual dependency tracking and all the (insanely complex) machinery needed to allow different programs to use different C library versions simultaneously.

`printf("sizeof (time_t) = %zu, %zu bits", sizeof (time_t), sizeof (time_t) * CHAR_BIT);` gives you the size in bytes and in bits. Needs time.h, stddef.h, and stdio.h.
Now who would eat that garbage junk food, I hope people have higher moral standards... oh wait
Oh, I thoroughly understand the parent's point, I'm just disagreeing that it is a problem that needs to be "addressed".

Most language design decisions involve tradeoffs, and for me this one has been a big positive, and the potential negatives have been - across decades of active usage - almost entirely theoretical.

Also, the real-world use case for importing code and auto formatting it is quite doable with Python - the main thing you can't do is blindly (unintelligently) merge two text buffers and expect it to work every time, but in general it takes only a smidgen of analysis on the incoming text to be able to auto reformat it to match your own. You could go all the way and parse and reformat it as needed, but much simpler/dumber approaches work just as well.

What you can't do is take invalid Python code and expect it to autoformat properly, but that borders on tautological, so... :)

In that case I'd agree with the GP comment - it's not comprehensive, it's opinionated. Opinionated is not a bad thing, the 'comprehensive' bit feels misleading though as auth is a vast subject. The two topics I wondered about immediately when I saw that word simply weren't there.

Coming Home
In a similar vein, inodes can run out. On most conventional Linux file systems, inode numbers are 32 bits.

For many, this is not going to be a practical problem yet, as real volumes will run out of usable space before exhausting 2^32 inodes. However, it is theoretically possible with a volume as small as ~18 TiB (using 16 TiB for 2^32 4096-byte or smaller files, 1-2 TiB for 2^32 256- or 512-byte inodes, plus file system overheads).

Anticipating this problem, most newer file systems use 64-bit inode numbers, and some older ones have been retrofitted (e.g. inode64 option in XFS). I don't think ext4 is one of them, though.
I'm probably naive, but I see another way forward. If all the t64 binaries are static linked, they have no danger of mixing abis. After 2038, all the t32 code is broken anyway so there's no additional risk for going back to dynamic linking then.
I feel if this was a solution the author would have mentioned it but I'm willing to look foolish to hear what others will say.
Lua happens when you give game developers the idea to write an embeddable language rather than reinventing the wheel of custom languages with every game or every game engine. It's not the sexiest or the fanciest language, but for its narrow purposes, it kicks ass.
What makes multiPaxos a better learning tool isn't multiPaxos for the sake of multiPaxos, but rather Paxos itself. The write-once consensus primitive is a valuable tool (whether you are implementing Raft or multiPaxos) or thing to know. Especially when it comes to flexible / compartmentalized Paxos. Don't get me wrong, the same things can theoretically be done with Raft (if they haven't already), but that single-degree primitive makes it make that much more sense. This is missing from Raft.

It's like learning about a byte and never learning about endianness because everything is pretty much little-endian these days.
Sure. There is a large body of literature looking at fire occurrence intervals prior to suppression. It is based of tree rings as well as other data sources.

It has been estimated that 5 to 12 million acres burned in California per year prior to 1850 [1], [2]. As a comparison, California’s 2000–2020 average burned acreage is 0.79 million acres per year [2]. 2020 was the largest wildfire year in California's recorded history, with nearly 4.5 million acres burned, which is on the low end for the historical average.

Last time I went down this rabbit hole I found several archival records and letters from settlers and surveyors describing California smoke and haze from the 1800's, but unfortunately I cant produce them for you. They described how the Sierra Nevada would be blanketed with smoke in the fall, and that it would linger in the central valley as a dim haze. If by chance you come across these, please let me know.

There is also ample biological evidence in the fire adapted ecology of California, where many plants require fire to reproduce and spread. This comports with the burn studies that estimates the burn interval for most California biomes to be between 3 and 20 years, with 3 years being typical for grasslands and steppes, 10 being typical for redwood forests, and 20 being more common for the pines forests.

Of course there is more to wildfire and smoke than simple acreage, and the quantity of fuel and hardwoods currently being burnt is greater as a result of our 150 year hiatus from wildfire. That said, the pre-1850 average was literally an order of magnitude greater than post 2000, which goes a long way in bridging this difference.
