As de-facto world police, inaction on the US' part is compliance.

Of course, it took what, 70, 80 years of US influence to weaken the European armies to the point where we're highly reliant on them for defense, deterrence, tech and material. The Crimea invasion should've been the catalyst for the massively increased spending and prioritization of the military in Europe, not the 2022 escalation. I hope for Ukraine's sake that Europe has been able to catch up and restart production of equipment and that they can supply it asap, because after Ukraine it'll be Moldavia and Georgia, which already have pro-russian separatist movements / areas. Poland has invested a ton in updating their military at least.

I hope the US doesn't have veto powers to stop article 5 from being enacted if it does come to that.
You don’t even have to start a fight - you can just have an answer about how certain policies take time to grow and you’ll continue to nurture them. An analogy about how it takes time to turn a cargo ship might be apt; how the main thing is steady at the help, and hold the rudder.

Here's a more personal perspective. I first learned Prolog 15 ish years ago, in the second year of my CS (with games design) degree. The difficulty hit me like a ton of bricks. With no exaggeration it took me a week to figure out how to do the simplest of things: cycle through a list of options (those were the turn phases for a Magic: the Gathering game engine. Nobody ever accused of starting with the easy stuff first). I persevered partly because the idea of executing First Order Logic theorems as a computer program took my breath away and partly because everyone agreed that Prolog was so damn hard and I just wanted to brag about being able to learn it to my peers.

I learned it. It took years. I don't think I had the chance to brag to my peers. I went to the university library and picked up every textbook I could find on Prolog, returned home with knees trembling under the weight of my backpack bulging at the seams with K N O W L E D G E and spent weeks lost in them. The more I learned, the more I forgot about bragging and the more I got hooked, like a fool who tries crack for just the one time. The more I used Prolog, the more it hurt me, the more I couldn't understand it, the more I finally got it, the more I got drawn in, deeper and deeper.

It took a few years before I could indulge my passion and follow what our Dang would call my intellectual curiosity, and start a PhD on Inductive Logic Programming (i.e. machine learning × logic programming) but I finally got my wish and like I say above, I've basically done all my programming in Prolog as a day job for the last 6 years or so, with a smattering of Python and R in between.

And now I'm out of a job and I might have to go back to C# and SQL. But, it was good while it lasted. If you want to go on an adventure of the mind, don't put it off. You won't regret it. Find your own Prolog. Go. Go!

Their methodology produces results that are not representative of the economic situation of average american families.

The average household income is 80k(ish) the average house is 420k(ish)

In Bethlehem, PA (a fairly middle of the road place tax wise) that means $5050 take home pay a month and a mortgage payment (FHA 3.5 down, 6.7 interest) of $2650 a month. That is more than half your pay just on a mortgage, not pmi, not insurance, not utilities, not anything else. Do this calculation across the country with localized numbers, do it with rent instead. Add a car and insurance for it into the mix. Then try adding in health insurance, groceries, etc. You are going to find that the numbers result in average people being squeezed and guess what? That lines up with peoples actual experience.

You probably know this, but just in case: NATO is not a club you pay 2% in to for protection. The 2% is the required spending on YOUR OWN defence.

>Trump's literal dementia

Nope.

I watched that now infamous three hour marathon podcast he did with Joe Rogan. That kind of performance is not something a demented man can do, full stop. To say nothing of his utterly crazy rally schedule, I legitimately don't know where he gets his energy.

Hate him if you want, that's your right and I will respect that. But Trump is terrifyingly sharp, especially for a man his age.

>The complicity of the news media in normalizing a senile candidate should't go unnoticed.

The media dumped Biden right quick after his old age couldn't be hidden anymore. That debate he had was straight up elder abuse by the media.
I can basically understand what it is. So to me, it's very different.
Yes, they do hide Trump's health reports from the public - or rather he never releases any information like other presidents do. Hell, he GOT SHOT and never gave any details of what happened.

I agree that Democrats denying Biden's cognitive decline was a disaster.
Earth's mass is something times 10^24. Jupiter's mass is 2 x 10^27. The smallest stars are 8 x 10^28.

On an exponential scale, Jupiter is closer to being a star than it is to being Earth. So... maybe you could say that Jupiter is almost a star. With such loose definitions talking about astronomical scales, there's a lot of room for interpretation and exaggeration.

I think the point is--in the spirit of appreciating Jupiter--Jupiter resembles the largest possible planets.
Crazy idea, if you’re confused and can’t figure out why the brain washing didn’t hold then maybe they’re seeing something you don’t? Maybe you’re wrong?
Yes exactly I meant for some people it was very radical to vote for him despite the aggressive McCain/Palin campaign that was painting him as a black foreigner cupboard muslim with a strange un-american name. Imagine those white, MAGA ultra-anti-woke Trump supporters. Some of these voted for Obama twice there is a whole wikipedia page about it. They would be like a feminist Ivy League literature professor voting for Trump now, relative to her demographic it is very radical.

The fact that Obama won so much of electorate implies that there were quite a lot of people who radically went against their usual political leaning. Those voters gave him the benefit of the doubt that he would shake the system.

One party bans books and wants the freedom to spread misinformation and disinformation.

The other party wants to let all books be in libraries, and to ban spreading misinformation and disfinformation.
The same reason the GOP didn't do anything about the border or gun rights when they had the chance. Why solve an issue when you can use it to get people to vote in the next election? Its a gamification of government. They are more concerned with keeping their jobs than governing.

But… all of those were addressed by the Dems? Kamala’s policies were explained and even endorsed by economists.

> Pointers and references have the same layout.

> The layout of a type is its size, alignment, and the relative offsets of its fields.

So “layout” only constrains the memory addresses where a value and its constituents are stored; it does not cover niches. Pointers are allowed to be null, references are not. There is talk of making it illegal to have a reference be unaligned, or even point to very low addresses: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3204>. At one point, there was even talk of certain kinds of references not even being stored as memory addresses at all: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2040>. And Box<_> is not #[repr(transparent)] either. To put it more generally, the only semantics of a Box<_> or a reference is that it grants you access to a value of a given type and is inter-convertible with a pointer. Only *const _ and *mut _ have a guaranteed ABI.

Just because you write fewer “unsafe” keywords does not mean your code is more safe.

That page doesn't really say much about what's currently being produced at TSMC Arizona vs the parts still under construction.

There's 4-nm "engineering wafer" production happening at TSMC Arizona already, and apparently the yields are decent:

No idea when/what/how/etc that'll translate to actual production.

Doing a bit more poking around the net, it looks like "first half 2025" is when actual production is pencilled in for TSMC Arizona. Hopefully that works out.

An odd choice; to present your points layered in snark and sarcasm, then complain that you weren't fully understood.

> I am, however, sceptical of how it's being presented and used.

Then say that. Poe's law is rampant on this topic. If you want to be understood, then you need to write clearly and plainly.

> People should understand there can be healthy middle grounds

We're so, so far from a healthy middle ground on the discussion around climate change; and comments like yours above push in the wrong direction.

Questioning "what we are told" on climate change without differentiating between what 99.9% of scientists are saying, and what political/industry goons are saying, is guaranteed to receive clapback from any right minded individual.

So, don't act surprised when there's pushback. It's not "small-minded", it's people responding sensibly to the words you wrote.

There is no technical reason that forced Apple to make the RAM soldered. They could have easily made a proprietary but replaceable socket/connector, but chose not to because of the sweet, sweet markups.
That promise played upon the listener thinking the US had somehow suppressed oil production. In reality oil/gas production has gone wild, now with a large surplus over domestic consumption. There are huge numbers of rights that have been granted but not exercised because the world is so awash in oil that the price makes most non-conventional fields unprofitable.

There just isn't anything to really be done there.

Look just because the CEO of the US military contractor spacex has documented illegal communications with the dictator of a country at war with an ally, and a multi decade history of interference, and spy craft in the US, doesn't mean there's anything to worry about. After all, we just had an election where the law-and-order party got a convicted fraudster and rapist with a multimillion dollar legal ruling against him, a multi-decade history of fraud, documented bribery, nepotism, basic corruption, and outright treason elected as president on a platform off targeting minorities, removing fundamental civil rights, threats of violence and abuse of law enforcement.

There's no reason to worry. After all, as long as you are a white dude with an AR15, and self worth based on being a bigoted bully, you will be fine. At least for now. Make sure you tow the line though.

When (some) people feel they’re worse off and blame it on the government, telling them government produced statistics says they’re actually better off is totally going to make them trust the government more. /s

Edit: Without the snark, lots of people believe their rent, grocery bills, energy bills etc. have gone up a lot more than official inflation numbers (and that can be true even if the inflation numbers are “accurate” for some definition of accurate), and you’re not going to convince them using anything derived from these inflation numbers.
Point still stands on the border deal. They wanted something, but through Trump, it was derailed - for no other reason that it was detrimental to his campaign.

Reagan had a plaque at the oval office that said: "There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit"
Polling clearly indicates that the percentage of Americans who feel financially secure has been steady for years while the percentage who think the economy is in poor shape is increasing rapidly. It is 99% perception. People who are better off just won't say it when they think everyone else is struggling. The bull market in stocks and rising home values indicates anyone who owns any assets is doing very very well.
Kamala being a woman absolutely had a negative impact on her results. That is probably not the main reason she lost though. Again, do you have any real proof that the left is systematically antagonizing men, or can you only provide anecdotal evidence?

It's really easy to find instances of right-wing politicans or pundits saying abhorrent things about women as a group (refer to my previous comment), but no one seems to care. On the other hand Obama makes vague implications that sexist bias may negatively influence their candidates and now half the country hates men.

You dont need to go that far. You just need to create an information environment that is beyond the ability of the average person to navigate.

At that point, the other side is just evil, and your team, even if they are convicted for crimes, have ties to Epstein or anything - doesn’t matter.

I made something similar as well (that includes both 3.11, 95, 2000, XP, CDE and Mac OS 9, and also all the default color schemes of those): https://nielssp.github.io/classic-stylesheets/?theme=win9x&s...

My focus was not so much on pixel perfect, but instead on creating something that would also work and look aesthetically pleasing on modern systems, like with higher DPI monitors and such. So one of the the things I did was to recreate all the icons and symbols in SVG.

I am not fond of the idea of AMD and Intel merging. In my opinion and past experience the worst of the failing company can taint the company that is doing good. If Intel have enough contracts with the government they could be put in charge of both companies and AMD leadership could be cut over time. It is not entirely logical but those with the closest ties to the government usually end up in a dominant position. It always starts with "we will let (smaller company) keep operating as they were" but changes trickle in and all at once AMD could be tanked.

My concern is entirely selfish. I have been enjoying the little AMD mini-pc's. The performance is great and the are more affordable than the Intel NUC's that have similar performance meaning I can get several of them for different tasks.
Self awareness can mean:

• The ability to recognise one's own body as distinct from that of others, as demonstrated by plants.

• The ability to pass the mirror test, which some AI pass, but whose relevance is widely debated in animal psychology both on the grounds of sensory chauvinism and because it may cause both false positives and false negatives owing to us not being able to converse with the animals we're testing.

• Introspection, except that now we've got LLMs responding much the same way Turing hoped they would when outlining his eponymous test and suggesting that a "viva voce" interrogation would have us know if the machine was innovative or "learnt it parrot fashion"*.

As humans are also demonstrably great at confabulating reasons for their acts (see: split brain surgery, specifically experimental research on patients' cognitive functioning after surgery), it is unclear whether humans score any differently than LLMs in this test irregardless of if LLMs do or don't count as people in any other sense.

• Mindfulness, meditation and spirituality: arguably only those who explicitly practice the appropriate mental techniques, e.g. Buddhist monks and similar.

• Public/social awareness of self-standing in community: everyone who is "cringe" fails.
