Russia has the added, common problem for autocracies that they are heavily disincentivized from telling Putin the truth - it was far better to hide the problems, and be rewarded for doing a good job. At least until the war started.

>People in the USA are called "Americans" because it's (part of) the name of their country, and there's no other convenient and pronounceable demonym to describe them

There is another demonym, although much less used:

USian.

It's quite convenient and pronounceable. Some HNers use it:

Also see the Wikipedia definition of the word you used - demonym:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonym

The first two sentences at the above link:

>A demonym (/ˈdɛmənɪm/; from Ancient Greek δῆμος (dêmos) 'people, tribe' and ὄνυμα (ónuma) 'name') or gentilic (from Latin gentilis 'of a clan, or gens')[1] is a word that identifies a group of people (inhabitants, residents, natives) in relation to a particular place.[2] Demonyms are usually derived from the name of the place (hamlet, village, town, city, region, province, state, country, and continent).
Agreed. Super pedantic comment: it's Battle off Samar.
The effects of relationship context and modality on ratings of funniness
Is the manufacturer really the best default handler for waste? Companies are incredibly mortal and the 'big corporation that is guaranteed to outlive you and can be counted on for things like pensions' days are gone. Trying to get the CRT factories to take back the old sets just doesn't work when they have been out of business for decades.

This is starting to sound like the place for a government to ensure that the disposal is some sort of tax stamp/deposit and carried out by some entity, whether direct government, manufacturer while they are still around to reclaim their deposit, or paid recycling contractors.
What’s the current fair market value of a “solana NFT”?
It’s very cool, but at high throughput you really see the difference. This bitmap scan can take huge amounts of cpu, reduced to nothing (and much faster) when setting up a proper multi column index.

On small/medium tables and lowish throughout though, yeah it’s often good enough and avoids having many indexes for specific use cases (which is a cost in itself, in memory/cpu/storage)
Crypto people care about the price. They know it cannot be a mainstream currency because of how wasfeful, slow or insecure it is (pick 1+ depending on the coin) so really BTC/USD number goes up makes us richer is the game. Also encouraging degen gambling is the game. As is Ponzi. All of which makes insiders money.

The best coup would be Bitcoin as a gold that backs USD. This would force the price up well above a million. It might also make the world dark. $1 per kwh. $10 per kwh and so on.

Other coups would be lebanon style power interruptions while energy is diverted to mining with various subsidies.
I believe it is too late for that and we are stuck with bad mobile OS. Additional stores don't solve the problem of hardware not being open at all.

People have accepted that either manufacturer or mobile provider owns their phone. You do not have administrative rights and some apps even disallow being run in a more free environment.

ChromeOS solves the memory management very well.

Depending on how you use it, you have up to 3 VMs running in the background with Wayland passtrough: ARCVM (Android), Crostini (Linux dev environment) and Borealis (SteamOS).

All these VMs run Linux and Google uses MGLRU in cooperation with Chromes tab discarder to balance memory.

VAX BASIC was always compiled, it was its predecessors that were not, bitsavers or wikipedia have the background info.

Take all the Assembly routines from libc, and K&R C turns into a macro assembler with nicer syntax. And not a good one, given that real macro assemblers actually have better macro capabilities, alongside their high level constructs.

Quite visible in the C dialects that were actually available outside UNIX, on computers people could afford, like the RatC (Made availalbe via A book on C) and Small-C (DDJ article series).

Well even dumbest standard pascal compilers like GPC do allow calling into Assembly. So it should count for Pascal as well, if that is the measure.

Then we have this thing sticking with ISO Pascal from and its dialects, always ignoring that this was seen as an issue, that that is why Modula-2 exists since 1978, and Extended Pascal since 1991, one year later after ANSI C (C89 got a short C90 revision fix).

Also following the K&R C alongside Assembly line, several companies were quite successful with Pascal dialect alongside Assembly, including a famous fruit company.

Back in 2024, C extensions keep being celebrated to the point the most famous UNIX clone can only be compiled with a specific compiler, and the second alternative is only possible after a search company has burned lots of money making it possible.

But hey, lets stick to Pascal and its dialects.
Today its graphics look so outdated, but back then it was amazing how you could fly through valleys to get to targets.

There were a few games like Comanche, X-Wing, Magic Carpet and Descent that felt like they really pushed the technology while trying to show how we could utilize 3d in a different way from the other titles of the time (which were usually all FPS games).
I see your point. Some of our measurements are counters and interpolate missing data via certain rules. We store these interpolations in a separate table with exactly the same format and join the two tables directly when querying the data. Since the real value always takes precedence over the interpolated value this is just a COALESCE(realmeasure0000, interpolation0000) statement.

This is super fast when taking advantage of postgres' partition-wise joins.

Is there a formalization of this proof? Lean, Coq, .... ?
As a high school student learning to build production level applications, I've found that practical use of SQL is incredibly important for reading, writing, and querying for structured data across all of the apps that I'm building. I decided to build this tool for myself and others to play in a sandbox SQL environment that allows anyone to play with a blank slate SQL database or choose from pre-created data sets. There is also an element of learning built it where the app will help someone new get started with a few tutorial questions to learn SQL.
L-theanine (200mg) with around 100-150mg of caffeine has an extremely noticeable, positive effect on my ability to focus, feeling of "well-situatedness", and overall calmness. L-theanine by itself doesn't seem to do much. Caffeine on its own wakes me but makes me feel jittery and anxious, so it's definitely an interaction effect. Taurine has a much smaller effect on calmness, sans interactions - often indistinguishable from any other mild focus exercise like box breathing or stretching.
This was covered in some of the coverage much earlier about the bankruptcy proceedings. Essentially it's within the court's power to not only pay the creditors but to pay them interest on their losses if that's possible. That's obviously balanced against the rights of the equity holders to get back any value if there is any equity left. In this specific case the people with equity were: the fraudsters who ran the scam, venture capitalists. No one wants to pay off the fraudsters and the VCs would rather pretend this whole thing didn't happen (because it makes them look like drunken coked up degenerate gamblers on a weekend at Vegas) so everyone agreed the court should be generous with how they calculate the return to customers. Government entitires also have a claim for any fines or taxation or whatever, but they're relatively happy for the retail customers to be protected first too - but they care less about the equity getting wiped out.

My guess would be anything above what the customers get may well go out to government fines rather than returning to the equity holders.
1. The sync is not just between clients, it by default works over a central backend infrastructure that syncs and persists. Plus you can create server workers (with jazz-nodejs) that also are clients to the same infrastructure and can do side-effects like API calls and interacting with “normal” databases in response to react state changing. And they can also mutate Jazz state.

2. The next version will. I like to think of Jazz as distributed state, of which local-first is a special case.

3. Shared memory to me sounds like concurrency is handled with locks, while Jazz uses CRDTs
I was always wondering the same. Thank you for the references. Above I asked for a mechanized proof.
Wrong. Judges are independent there, so they rank higher than the government.

We already have money that doesn't take any energy to create and look where that got us.

Gold is proof of work and look at how that has stood the test of time.

Ultimately, money is a high-level form of energy. It's only natural that it takes energy of equal value to create it.

I keep seeing this "headline" and it is the very definition of fake news. If you held SOL on FTX they will pay you at the Nov 2022 prices which was under 9 per SOL. It is trading at ~150 now.

Bitcoin was trading at 17k, it is now 62k.

FTX creditors didn't hold US dollars. They held crypto. A good chunk didn't even buy any of the crypto WITH US dollars. Many are in countries that US dollars is not legal tender.

Guess what they're getting back for their claims?

You guessed it. US Dollars.
Are you sure? No offence, but I don't think there's anything to understand here.

If we could solve climate change without "addressing thoughtless consumerism, corporate impunity, and lack of international accountability" we would all be f'ing _thrilled_.

As I type this Hurricane Helene just destroyed a good chunk of inland North Carolina (!!!) and Hurricane Wilton was just upgraded to a "category 5" storm.

If we could solve climate change the easy way we'd all be _thrilled_, because then we'd actually solve climate change.
If you want to take more than 3 screenshots then this would be faster. Usually you would have to stop the video and select the screenshot area. Plus I'd like them to look a bit nicer than a normal screenshot.

The purpose I made this was to create additional content from videos (blogs, social media posts). So, I plan to add some additional stuff like export to .webp to optimize size or different aspect ratios.
This is a good and fair question (although noting that the doses in the second study seem extremely large compared to supplement values). I think the solution is to test, test, and test on as many things as possible which is not being done at the moment. Most supplements will probably not have any notable effect, like L-theanine in my case, so a precautionary principle would lead one to discontinue use.
I hope cases and gender get simplified as well. German with those simplifications would be much easier to learn.

Yes, typo! My bad and I can’t edit.
My thoughts as well.

„Could these so-called UAP “countermeasures”, deployed over thousands of miles with pin-point accuracy be the real reason for government non-disclosure?“

Could the infiltration of defense systems by an adversary not be as good a reason?
> I'm imagining a shoulder mounted auto-targeting pistol.

About a decade ago, DARPA developed a .50 caliber gun round that has onboard guidance.[1] They were thinking snipers, not anti-drone, but maybe the concept can be adapted.

Drone prices everyone mentioning are without warheads. And depends on capabilities. Mainly how far it flies and how heavy payload is. I would say kamikadze drone manufactured in Ukraine costs 300-1000$
That's quite a dark thought. And I doubt we'll get there - in that case you'd be one failed chip away from death at all times. Nothing like redefining the reign of terror.
I do the same. But as I do it my mental image of myself is of someone holding their nose and typing one handed.

It’s the least shit solution, but it’s definitely a shit solution.

Npm has another way to default exclude but I don’t think git does, and if docker got one I don’t recall what it is.
I don’t understand why, but I have an exemption for that folder and I’ve disabled real time scanning. It still shows the slowdown on first launch. The only thing that works is disabling windows defender entirely. I’ve been through the troubleshooting loop a few times with this.
This is interesting! Turning the values into arrays is not suitable for our base-tables, but might be for the several materialization tables we run.
I played F-117A, but my favourite by far was definitely F15 Strike Eagle II:

That abomination should die in a fire and apps should be forbidden to use it, banking apps included.
> 1) System cost

> But if this is an argument against renewables, it's an even bigger argument against nuclear. Because nuclear is much more expensive than renewables.

I agree that the nuclear power stations are more expensive per kW of generation capacity. But that does not mean that the overall system must be more expensive (fallacy of composition?). It would depend on the quality of the intermittent resources, their location, demand profiles, cost to build, cost of transmission and storage and so on.
A superpac has no bidders. It influences voters.

To even get power you now need to nod to crypto, nod to a certain middle eastern country and so on. Eventually politicians will be entirely impotent suits. Look at the current "choice" the electorate has.

So... How exactly is this not openly preparing for a coup attempt? The Republicans have to this day not been able to procure evidence of election fraud, yet this resolution allows them to ignore the vote results if they think there's fraud.

I'm honestly scared where this goes. Even if Trump should lose, I don't see things getting better in the near future.
Not necessarily. Loosing a war is probably preferential to loosing your entire country, because mutually assured destruction using nukes is still a thing.

The point is that you don't need to trust anyone in particular i.e. trust is not enforced (never a good thing). You get to choose who you trust. You can choose not trust anyone and create and run a bitcoin node with first-hand knowledge of every single component and machine code instruction if you like.

Throughout history, fiat currencies have corrupted societies and failed over and over and over again because you simply can't trust humans not to counterfeit it albeit "legally" through QE, bank loans etc.

I happen to teach in a university with time based media and film departments and I can assure you that among the next generation we have reached 50/50 Premiere/Davinci as NLE. I try to do one small editing project per year in Davinci and while Premiere is still better with material-intensive projects, davinci is is totally usable and comes with its own upsides. And thry have improved gradualy throughout the past years, so I expect them to catch up there.

As for Blender, I was a Maya user before and never really looked back. Blender is also gaining a lot of traction in the recent years, especially since they introduced the Eevee renderer and decent grease pencil/2D animation workflows.

I can't speak for all segments of the professional market, but Blender is good enough to earn a living with it, while not feeling you are trying to paint the Mona Lisa in paint, as of now. And more importantly: it is improving at a quicker pace than most other software and that includes commercial ones.
If successful, that puts an in-orbit refuelling demonstration firmly within plausibility for 2025. Which, remarkably, continues to validate my prediction, which was admittedly a Hail Mary when made last year, that SpaceX--despite having the most technologically ambitious and unprecedented deliverables out of the bunch--will not be the limiting laggard on the Artemis programme.

Is a voter more like a VC: invest in the person not the idea (aka policy). Although the policies and how they are communicated are of course part of how you judge. I think everyone knows election promises are just promises.
This phenomenon has been such a spur of motivation to start writing again. I love it.

The only way we can make sure the internet retains any goodness is by contributing good things to it. Passive consumption will rapidly turn into sub-mediocre drudgery. I suppose it already has.

Be the change you want to see, I guess. I’m a shitty writer, but at least I can beat the dissonant, bland, formulaic rambling of ChatGPT (here’s hoping, anyway).

I’m optimistic that a lot of us can keep something good going. We'll find ways to keep pockets of internet worth visiting, just like we did before search engines worked well.
That's amazing! It's a really healthy approach, and even though it could easily be automated, it's impressive that you take the time to personally connect with them.
By the way, I love your new venture and have already signed up. Wishing you all the best!

> Sadly, and as far as I can tell, x32 is pretty much abandonware today. Gentoo claims to support it but there are no official builds of any distribution I can find that are built in x32 mode.

It is supported, but the list of broken packages is rather long... [1]

You don't need an official build, as Gentoo builds itself and also cross-builds itself for any target and any ABI. In this case, you don't even need a cross-build.

Just install Gentoo x86_64 multilib, enable x32 support in kernel, enable abi_x86_x32 USE flag for the packages you want to test and run emerge to build them. They won't even interfere with the rest of the running system. See [2].

I presume by "backup" you mean somewhere you'd backup your files from other systems. If so, I'd be more concerned about the SATA SSD, they do wear out. Probably not a sufficient reliable system to entrust with your critical files.
>WebKit is still a top class rendering engine and only about as buggy as any other rendering engine. Blink is of the same lineage given it is a fork of WebKit and Gecko is even older.

But we should have the option to choose. Apple is very anti-consumer, making all the choices (often bad ones) for us, giving us none. The court should rule to open Apple more. Android is open enough that you can do whatever you want, yet not complicated enough so people get confused with all the options you have.
> you just have to change human nature and politics to secure long term investment

Perhaps it will take generational change (and stopping the propagation of anti-nuclear tropes). Perhaps it will take societal selection (where those who invest will out-compete the others).

They don't? Stinger costs $100+k, high speed drone around 1k.

There are no viable ways to EW counter man-operated drone capable of locking the target with autopilot.

The biggest issue in such approach is opportunity cost: you can quickly fire another manpad, but not a drone.
It all assumes the candidate is the queen bee. They are now the worker bee. The superpac sets the rules, the candidate follow to get elected. That is the example in thw article, well actually more meta: it was a flex by crypto to show them they are a new mafia. They get many for the price of one.
