Care to explain why countries are willing to give up some of the control over their own military and risk being dragged to other wars just to join NATO? And what caused Finland and Sweden join after 2022 even though historically they were fairly neutral?

I don't know man. What's to the east that makes these countries beg to join? Is it a peaceful country? Or one that sees "russians" in need of protection everywhere, one where the president goes on TV and gives history lessons that reduces these countries russian land, one that makes regular threats about invasion or nuking their cities, etc?

The US has a lot of influence, but that has limits. The good thing for them is that with Russia behaving like this, they don't need to move a finger to have eastern Europe on their side.

A possible future alternative would be to bound the macro in some way on Freeze, once that is stabilised. See the RFC for details: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3633

This would of course be a tradeoff again, as it would disallow interior mutability then.
It's true, it was stupid and as many people have righly said, it was undemocratic.
I'm not sure if the incest is being consciously pushed. In Japanese animated, drawn, and live action porn for example, a popular yet totally seperate ecosystem from western pornography, the same kind of incest stuff, hell even worse incest pornography between blood relatives and even involving children, has been extremely popular. It seems like most people who watch pornography move on to riskier genres, and incest pornography is a very easy step down from relatively normal genres.
'Prohibition didn't work' is an almost meaningless statement. It's always some variation on 'yeah, drastically fewer people drank, but it didn't eradicate it entirely and cost a nonzero amount to maintain'. Same as banning anything ever, like murder, or unregistered securities.

> Since we know that social media can be specifically harmful to the youngest demographic

Who is this "we" that accepts that uncritically? I've been on "social media" since I was 8yo and my little brother has been on social media since he was a baby. Now he's becoming a doctor. He grew up with the 1st gen iPhone which was released 17 years ago.

FWIW I think the drinking age of 21 in the US is kinda silly. Many Americans start driving at 14 (with employment letter) or at 15.5 and many Americans buy their first rifle at 18 years old.
It didn't say Drill, baby, drill?
Also important to keep in mind that less than 20% ofthe country voted for trump this time... not super democratic
It's possible, but I feel the democratic process seems like somewhat of a religion in the USA, and I just can't see him being that influential to be able to kill democracy, the government is quite huge and he has energized a lot of conservatives.

I mean the mid-terms are in 2 years and if the dems (hopefully) learn from this, they have a chance to bring it back somewhat.

Seriously, if you go look at the numbers, which are still being counted, Harris clawed back quite a lot. It really was close in the end, similar to how the polls predicted.

I was in denial about it, but I do think the dems lost their own election, the more I look at it, and listen to people who voted Trump, the more I have to admit, they screwed up in many ways, and we all paid for it. Biden calling his supporters garbage was the nail in the coffin IMO. That comment potentially lost them the election if you go look at how close some of the swing states were.
It's kind of ironic that you're treating the US as the exceptional, canonical example of democracy on an article making the claim that perhaps it shouldn't even be called a democracy at all anymore.

At the very least, I think you have to accept that all these other places which don't guarantee freedom of speech to hateful people have just as much, if not more, claim to being democracies, and that therefore, freedom of speech for all possible minorities is not actually a fundamental part of being a democracy.
This appears to be the website of the person(s) responsible: https://r00t.monster/

They have posted several screenshots of discussions among people affected on various channels, including Mastodon and the official #tor-relays channel on IRC.
If mastodon was used by teens, it would have all the same problems.

Advertisment is not the problem here.
On the flip side there's a good chance and perhaps coin to be made on some form of siginificant change in the next four.. perhaps the end of elections as they know them?

The least we can ask of elected politicians is they make some effort toward keeping their campaign promises.
In my experience only NVENC is supported by most video recording tools, and if you are on AMD, it's using the CPU, thus slowing everything to a crawl.

AMD should be using VA-API but it's not a very good system as it fails or breaks if you look at it the wrong way. I use a tool to stream my desktop to my TV (sunshine) which uses it, and every month VA-API fails with a new error so it has to resort to CPU encoding.

‘Prove’ was historically used as a synonym for ‘test’, which gives the phrase quite a different meaning. Like how ‘result’ is now sometimes used to mean ‘positive outcome’, as in a football fan saying ‘we got a result’
Show HN: Tile.run – Extract structured data from any document via API
Hey HN,

Today, we’re launching tile.run, an API that extracts structured data from unstructured documents (PDF, images, text) with support for custom schemas.

The Problem: Extracting data out of unstructured documents is surprisingly hard. We built tile.run while solving this for our product Kili (automation for invoicing/reconciliation). We found that getting to accuracy that is reliable enough for automation is challenging. Dense documents (e.g., lots of tables or line items) are even harder, and these are the most valuable to automate. After talking to other teams and developers, we found many other teams were after similar solutions.

Key Features:

- Multiple formats: PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, plain text

- Custom schema support with nested objects/arrays

- Specialized in dense documents with tables

- Self-serve API - start extracting in minutes

Technical Details:

- REST API with simple JSON responses

- Robust error handling and validation

Coming Soon:

- Improved accuracy

- More file formats

- Self-hosting options

- Zero data retention mode

Links:

- Landing page: https://tile.run

- Documentation: https://tile.run/docs

I appreciate there have been a bunch of launches in this area recently, so wanted to address that head on as well:

- Clearly this problem is very valuable to solve but requires significant effort

- There are many ways to approach the same problem. For example, tile.run targets technical teams whereas other teams are solving this for business teams or specific functions (e.g. ETL).

We're excited to hear your feedback on the product.
Monthly active users. It signaled growth and activity and real interest from living people. Now it includes scrapers, good bots and bad bots. A number so inflated, it might as well be completely made up.
AFAICT no because it needs a kernel patch which is not applied in the base Linux system colima is using:

$ colima ssh
$ dpkg -l |grep linux-image
ii linux-image-6.8.0-31-generic 6.8.0-31.31 arm64 Signed kernel image generic
hi linux-image-virtual 6.8.0-31.31 arm64 Virtual Linux kernel image
Well, unwinding can be as simple (and as fast) as

MOV SP, [installed_handler]
JMP [installed_handler+WORD]

but it only works if you don't need to run the defers/Drop's/destructors/etc. for stuff that's on the stack between the current frame and the handler's frame. Which you do, most of the time.
That's fair. I suspect that if we had an efficient market for prime numbers, a coalition would have paid ~$2M for someone to calculate this number. He can't sell it because he didn't bother to create a market for it.

>In life, I find a good way to value items is not what it cost to acquire it, but what it will cost to replace.

I completely agree with this.
Product Security Bad Practices
Firstly, conspiracy theories are just one aspect of a complex narrative that characterises fascism.

Secondly, conspiracy theories generally fly in the face of strong evidence to the contrary. But if you look at the Mueller report, it lists numerous links and collusions between the Trump campaign and Russian government. There were actual criminal offenses. There just wasn't quite enough to prove wilful criminality.

Thirdly, unless I'm mistaken, the Dems did not continue to promote claims of a conspiracy between Trump and Russia after the report was accepted.
You don't need social networks to keep in touch with family and friends. RCS and a large number of communicators are available for everyone.
it's not bullying. it's a way to cope and a way to help the weirdo find his base by not having to defend who or what he is. it's a welcoming gift. accept them as they come. think you are the only weird one or "idiot" around? think you are better? you have a usp, make it work. turn it into a show. distract us from our boring reality. give us that serotonin/dopamine spike that fades out slow. we are all muscle memory here. we need something to keep us from the edge. we are aware of how all these computer people and academics run the world and we know its a matter of character and that there are better ways. We are aware that most of them made a conscious decision. But we sure as fuck aren't going to kill them all for it.

it's also a way to adjust you to the lower end of the superego spectrum.
I am totally unsurprised people gave up on Triple-O.

I haven't personally worked on OpenStack setups myself, but my coworkers in few places did (including supporting if not actually being contracted out to build some of the commercial offerings in that space) and especially upgrades were always this huge project where it made more sense to tear down the entire setup and bring it up again.

That was made easier with OpenStack packaged as docker containers, but ansible was arguably still more pain to setup the cluster than just using k8s.
> do the photos look like the person in front of them

To what ridiculous extent do you take that, though? You must be wearing the same clothes? You must be made-up in the exact same way? I think it's pretty clear that the test should be "is it obvious that the person in the photo is the same as the person in front of you" and somebody with a beard does look like themself, even when they shave that beard.

Of course, this raises other interesting questions: is it OK for you to use a photo of your identical twin?

> Fascism rejects the view that violence is inherently negative or pointless but rather views imperialism, political violence, and war as means to national rejuvenation

Trump has advocated for nationalist, North Korean style military parades and the use of the military against protesters etc. And there this myth of him being anti-interventionist but America was very active in Syria during his term.

Claims about "all" are not useful and a distraction from useful understanding of human behaviour. People, like any animal, as a rule, act largely on self-interest. That is with a broad definition of self that includes family --specially offsprings, and larger "identities" like clan, village, city, country, race, creed, religion, and so on.
They do have problems with facial hair, though, IME.
Rpython's JIT is pretty good at removing administrative work from loop interiors and oo layers; one might be able to play with it to see how much practical specialisation may help? Depending upon how much of the OS ABI its generated C uses, that could be done at least in a microkernel setup, and maybe even on nearly-bare metal?
Safer mechanisms of distributing and establishing "root" keys for identify verification (so you can then use them easier with normal D-H on normal internet) is one use case I recall from 1990s.

But few years ago I heard of some other interesting uses where quantum properties were used to essentially enable DWDM-like virtual circuit routing with higher capacity - though I would have to look again if it went anywhere or into scrap heap of quantum BS.
San Francisco uses RCV, and it’s not much better, maybe worse. Yes you get run off elections and more candidates. But now voters have to use strategy in how they vote and it’s complex to understand the implications. There’s a higher chance of winding up with unpopular candidates simply because nobody actually wanted their second or third choice candidates.
AI is a gigantic landscape with tons of different applications to different problems, and there are many solutions which work for a given problem.

However, if we narrow what AI is to LLMs, we have a stochastic parrot which needs to be fed the world literally to enable it to create semi-coherent sentences about something being asked. More importantly, what that parrot says doesn't have to be true, it can't be guaranteed to be true, and can't be verified about its accuracy about its slop.

And you spend gigawatts of power just to train this thing which selects and prints words based on probability and some randomness.

That doesn't solve any problems.

Vietnam famously doesn't. You can rent a motorbike without showing any sort of license, but in the most touristic areas (eg Ha Giang loop) the police picks out foreigners to check and get their bribe.

And I have a vague remembrance (take with a whole rock of salt) that foreigners from many countries technically _cannot_ legally drive there even with an IDP, because there's 2 competing IDP standards or something like that. But I'd guess you'd be fine
However, do note that freedom of speech for everyone, up to and including nazis, is very much a US thing and not characteristic of all liberal democracies. And even the united states doesn't allow people complete freedom.

> Laws in liberal democracies may limit certain freedoms. The common justification for these limits is that they are necessary to guarantee the existence of democracy, or the existence of the freedoms themselves. For example, democratic governments may impose restrictions on free speech, with examples including Holocaust denial and hate speech. Some discriminatory behavior may be prohibited. For example, public accommodations in the United States may not discriminate on the basis of "race, color, religion, or national origin."

Is that true? SpaceX [0] gives the capacity as 150t reusable or 250t expendable, which is significant, but not enough to make one "enormous".

If you really got order-of-magnitude gains from an expendable upper stage, it wouldn't be that exciting to have reusable rockets (which are more complex and still only fly one order of magnitude more times) in the first place.

Protectionism also is a value associated with "far-right". It may sound like it conflicts with libertarianism but in my understanding that's applied nationally, while closing borders.

I won't argue on positions of a specific candidate or party.

> This is not a far right position. This is a populist position.

Populism also is often associated with far-right.

On other hand it kinda is document of subjectdom. You are ultimately subject of particular nation.
> Uh? Where did that come from?

You wrote you wanted more people to care for it, and at the end of your comment reveal that in fact that was the reason you got pissed off, so this question seems like an underhanded "omg I have no idea what you're talking about".

Also you're utterly wrong, most times the arguments are that: climate change isn't man made, that even if it is, it isn't going to affect us, that if it'll affect us it won't be that bad, to downright denying it's even changing.

If you think the regular argument is some reflection about the universe and how interesting it is...
There were three candidates and two of them were jokes. Everyone that would have been a real threat hung back, hoping to rise either under Trump or after him. He sure wasn't taking it seriously, neglecting to even register in some states, causing the Haley loss to 'none of these candidates' in Nevada
The government, and big tech companies, don’t need air tags or “find me” to track almost everyone, they have a mobile phone constantly chatting with local towers.

I don’t understand what is dystopian about knowing where I left my keys, and seeing how my wife’s commute home is doing without phoning her while she is driving, assuming we always both have mobile phones.
Naw the dude had a year. It's not that hard to pay 1 contractor $30/hr to set up PXE boot, assemble machines and GPUs, air handling units, GPUs, and electrical sub panels. I've done a similar "jack of all trades" job for a weed company in Oakland way back before I became a software engineer. 1000 GPUs only takes 2 weeks to deploy.
This is an excellent point! I've wasted an ungodly amount of time playing Cookie Clicker and Pikmin Bloom, but both are—for different reasons—very bad games.
What are your hobbies? Serious question, what do you spend your time on outside of work and obligations, and how many hours have you collectively spent on it?

Everyone needs a hobby, for many that's video games. For some of those, a single / specific game becomes their singular hobby. See also: special interests.

I for one have been in a specific video game community for twenty years now even though I haven't engaged with the games much myself. But I know people who have, who tore the game apart, found unused content and are making mods to restore it [0], who retranslated the game(s)[1] , turned them into novels [2], D&D campaigns [3], play a poorly received spinoff over and over again for years to finish some levels in seconds [4], etc etc etc.

I think it's a bit sad to pooh-pooh other people's passions tbh.

Thank you, couldn't have said it better myself. It's plain and unambiguous.
It's kind of funny that the wisdom in software development is to program against interfaces and not implementations.

And yet here we are with monorepos, doing the big-ball of mud approach.

I've worked on several multi-repo systems and several monorepos. I have a weak preference for monorepos for some of the reasons given, especially the spread of pull requests, but that's almost a 'code smell' in some respects.

Monorepos that I've contributed to that have worked well: mostly one language (but not always), a single top-most build command that builds everything, complete coverage by tests in all dimensions, and the repo has tooling around it (ensure code coverage on check in, and so on).

Monorepos that I've contributed to that haven't: opposites of the previous points.

Multi-repos that have worked well: well abstracted and isolated, some sort of artefact repository (nexus, jfrog, whatever) as the layer between repos, clear separation of concerns.

Multi-repos that have not worked well: again, opposites of the previous, including git submodules (please, just don't), code duplication, fragile dependencies where changing any repo meant all had to change.

A great update to older articles on Ruby concurrency. I pored over some of my code from Ruby to Rust - nothing exciting, turns hundreds of Instagram posts into Markdown text with resized and watermarked images - but maxes out my cores. Using actors, love those.

Considering porting the code back now to Ruby to get some developer friendliness, er, back. And for fun just to see performance across 10 years of posts.

Rust is cool but Ruby deserves to stay useful.
