Ukraine never had any glimpse of regular democracy. For 30 years it was just a state when one or the other oligarchical clan was able to install its puppet on the throne to decide who's looting the majority of profits in their pockets.

Right now Zelensky totally usurped power, his political opponents were either killed of forced to flee the country, total mass media control installed, everyone who tried to argue were raided and taken under control or had to flee the country, religion rights are taken away, churches are raided and the right people are getting installed. Borders are crossed and mined, everyone who's trying to flee the country are getting hunted and killed if there's no way to catch them to send in trenches. Russian language, that is the mother tongue for 80% of population and Zelensky himself is forbidden in schools, and any other public services. We have a classic case of nationalists dictatorship being installed and turned the country in the same shit hole that Germany became in the late 1930's with storm troops having population under control by force. That's why Putin isn't very keen on what's going on in Ukraine.

The fix is also hiding other issues that show up. So it degrades over time and eventually you’re stuck trying to solve multiple problems at the same time.

>At his Livermore laboratory, he reported, they were working on two new weapon designs, dubbed Gnomon and Sundial. Gnomon would be 1,000 megatons and would be used like a “primary” to set off Sundial, which would be 10,000 megatons.

Project Sundial was the ultimate expression of power, a bomb so big it would detonated here in the US, to kill everyone on the planet.

I think that the "dead hand" system[1] built by the Soviets, and still operational today, might have incorporated a copy of this idea. This would nicely explain the hesitancy/restraint of the US in the Ukrainian conflict.

Nobody wants a 10+ Gigaton bomb going off.

To add on to what others have said, as a habitual "no don't send telemetry" clicker, I think this is heading a direction where I _would_ hit allow.

Two adjustments I could think of that would make it better (besides explaining clearly, etc):

Ask me when you're not actively obstructing me from getting to what I want. Like asking on first boot I've gotten no value from the software yet that I might feel I need to pay back, and I'm actively trying to get _in_ to the game and your pop-up is in my way. The easiest and safest way to get rid of it is "do not allow". Try asking _after_ I finish a game/round/whatever.

And that would also give you the opportunity to do something like collect real analytics information to show to the user. Like "Hey I hope you're enjoying the game it's useful for me to have stats about how people use abilities and items to tune and balance the game systems. Would you be willing to contribute to the game's further development by sending information like that below which was collected from your last round?" And then skip the JSON/etc unless your audience is programmers, just show them a table.

Finishing some play time having had fun and getting a pop-up that explains what, why, and gives me a chance to make an informed decision on whether to send something innocuous like "(offset-timestamp, event-type, item-id/ability-id)"... I'd actually probably allow it.

Correlation also assumes model of the data generating process, but you are correct in thinking that talking about causal links imposes even stronger assumption on the model and data structure for making inference. And then further you have to take a very narrow and convenient interpretation of what causality means (e.g. can't be at the actual level of individual samples, can't manifest through cycles or loops in the variables etc), which is even more of a vexing philosophical question than even the thorny questions in classical statistical inference

Thanks for the feedback. I was saying it has speakers but they are lackluster in quality.

That's what I meant when I wrote "I don't want to trash BenQ too hard here but let's just say having monitor speakers you'll never use is better than not having them" and followed up with commenting on how you can at least use them to troubleshoot audio issues on your system.
One could have made an overlay network on top of IPv4, where applications (and/or operating networking stacks) could have been aware of how to manipulate the data. Majorly more kludgy, but feasible. A number of real IPv4 addresses would have been allocated to serve as gateways/proxies to access the new IPv666 network.
Gather round the CRT kids it's another story time from old man delni...

Back in the before times, Papa Delni setup an old 486 (actually 386 using a cyrix "486" cpu) as an X terminal. This was a hot setup with an ATI Graphics Wonder, AMD Lance network, 8mb of ram, the whole 9 yards.

Everything worked great except the network was terribly slow. Except when I moved the mouse, then it was nice and normal.

Turned out the network card and mouse were on the same IRQ, or maybe the driver was looking at the wrong IRQ, and the network buffers only got drained when the mouse was wiggled.

I actually used that little nugget of knowing things to know to switch to polled network buffers on a big fat firewall that was running freebsd -- it was constantly under huge load so there was no real advantage to waiting for IRQs.

Don't miss that world at all.

I write 2.2kΩ, but I'm used to seeing people just write "2.2k" on schematics (because obviously it isn't 2.2kH or 2.2kV, and also it's next to a resistor symbol).

There are some tasks that I would have used a search engine for in the past, because that was more or less the only option. Say, searching for "ffmpeg transcode syntax" and then spending 15 minutes comparing examples from Stack Overflow with the official documentation to try to make sense of them. Now I can tell Claude exactly what I'm trying to accomplish and it will give me an answer in 30 seconds that's either correct, or close enough for me to quickly make up the difference.

I'm still going to turn to Google to find out what a store's opening hours or phone number is, as well as a lot of other tasks. But there are types of queries that are better suited for an LLM, that previously could only be done in a search engine.

There's also a non-technical reason for LLM search. Google built its business on free search, paid for by advertising, which seemed like a good idea in the early 2000's. A few decades later and we have a better appreciation for the value of the ad-driven business model. Right now, there's a whole lot of money being thrown at online LLMs, so for the most part they're not really doing ads yet. It's refreshing to make a query and not have sponsored results at the top of the list. Obviously, the free online LLM business model isn't going to last indefinitely. In the pretty near future, we'll either need to start paying a usage fee, or parse through advertisements delivered by LLMs as well. But it's nice while it lasts.

I think there should be regulations that allow sending real GPS from low power ground based system. Sending incorrect GPS is a major problem, but a lot of location issues would become much easier if the owners of buildings would just install cheap GPS transmitters.

Great question. I can see this being fairly easily extendable to other HID devices and even modifying their behaviour slightly (e.g. remapping a key) but audio stack sounds like (no pun intended) a different beast altogether.

That breaks down as soon as you leave Asia. In Europe, most people attribute it to whether the country prefers subs v dubs. SK and Taiwan use subtitles for foreign media so they hear English language. In Japan, it's more common to dub.

This is mirrored in Europe where countries using subs (Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, etc) have better English language skills than dub countries (France, Germany, Spain).
> Solar/wind is great if you have practically unlimited, life- and disaster-free deserts to capitalize. Sucks otherwise.

Bit more complex than that: the UK is north of the Canadian-US border and has parts at the same latitude as southern Alaska, has fantastic wind resources, and somehow is managing to do not too badly with PV either.

> stripping vegetations off mountainsides and farmlands to install mega-solars is just man-made disaster, not a positive decarbonization effort.

Human imagination doesn't handle the huge numbers involved very well, maths is necessary.

If we did what you're describing (which we don't need to because PV doesn't have to be in a contiguous sheet and rooftop PV can supply a non-trivial percentage of demand, and also a poor choice geographically, and you wouldn't want to because geographical diversity is good), then the EU could get 133% of its needs from Slovenia, which is one of the smaller countries in the union (only three are smaller), and that's already accounting pessimistically for capacity factor: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=area+Slovenia+*+1kW%2Fm...

(Likewise with the US, while Massachusetts would be a really poor choice of location to tile with PV, if you did it would supply 117% of US demand all by itself: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=area++Massachusetts+*+1...).

If you put a 3m wide strip of PV on or by the side of the EU road network (not rail, not airports, not car parks), that would also meet 96% of current demand by itself. And for the US, that same number with the same assumptions about capacity factor and width would be 87%.

Where PV doesn't work is dense city-states like the Vatican, because rooftop PV is only a "non-trivial percentage of demand" not "all of demand".
that's right, and you don't just update your posterior to match the one dodgy data point at the expense of decades of evidence.

I misread the comment first, I missed the word "it".

I thought you were saying you could use a seperate lock to guard the time between exist() and open(), which is possible but silly.

Now I'm not sure what you meant. Is "it" exists() or open()? You can use open() as a lock for other things. It doesn't need any other locks itself. You can't use exists() as a lock.

Or, I guess you are saying one process can open the file and others can merely check exists()? Yes depending on what the purpose was, what you intend to do with the results of exists(), because it isn't true any more the instant after exists() returns, only while exists() is actually running.

That makes it sound useless and therefor what is the problem that VB6 didn't have it? That might very well be why it was omitted.

But you do need some form of stat(), a way to get info about files without affecting them in any way. A process needs to be able to watch a files access time to know if it's been accessed yet, or when last, without that very observation changing the access time or making the file appear open()ed to other processes that may care about that. Even being opened read-only andbnon-exclusive is still opened. Another process may need to know that it has eclusive access or else it can't do it's thing, so it will fail it's own open() exclusive.

Even if the other process retries and open succeeds a few cycles later, changing the access time breaks the process that's waiting for the file to be accessed by it's actual consumer so it can be automatically deleted for example, or simply logged the fact that the customer has downloaded the edi file, the remote client/browser has loaded the temp file, someone somewhere has accessed super secret file, etc.

(setting aside that these days at least on *ix you frequently disable atime updates in the filesystem altogether and just do not build anything on top of that any more for performance and flash write life reasons. But I have processes that use it only in tmpfs in ram even while it's off for the real filesystem.)

No, what I mean is, 285k beats the 9800x3d at multiprocessing stuff & productivity tasks, but loses to 9950x. It beats the 9950x at gaming but loses to the 9800x3d. It performs slightly worse than 14900k at gaming and some other tasks, and overall price/perf, but does its job much more efficiently. There's no single alternative thats better in every metric.
Ads make money, but not that much. I'm not convinced they are enough to be worth the bother. To have ads you need to pay people in sales to sell them, people to install them (now that this is electronic it is easier than the old paper days, but you need a more expensive tech person to keep them working). At best they are 5% of your gross budget, so not very significant and they often hard harmful to your riders.

It's relatively safe for foreigners to visit Russia at the moment.

> No. As long as it has electrical power and the flight controls are working it can remain stable and glide even with a complete engine failure.

I'm not so sure about that. I'm pretty sure that flight controls are directly tied to thrust, because it would be the engine that also drives the hydraulic system.

It's like that even on passenger jets. If you lose both engines, you also lose hydraulics (aside from whatever little hydraulic pressure the ram air turbine provides). I would not expect there to be a ram air turbine on a fighter jet, which would mean complete engine failure = complete loss of hydraulics = complete loss of flight controls.

The heart rate monitors in Google and Fitbit devices are insanely inaccurate during exercise. I had suspected as much already. Whenever a brisk walk indicated my pulse was 150 or so. But first, I could not reproduce this wearing a halter device and later I could not reproduce this wearing a polar heart rate monitor or a Frontier X2 ECG.

Conclusion, Fitbit and Google heart rate monitors on those wearables are hot garbage. Cue some snooty googler insisting I'm doing it wrong somehow.
I wonder if you could just create a map of the cellular antennas along the metro/subway tunnels.

>Tbf, it's not like this approach can't work at all. Airbus was born out of a similar dynamic, and it's giving Boeing a run for its money now.

It literally can't work at all. When was the last time you went and bought an Airbus? Airbus doesn't make consumer products. Passengers are the consumers flying inside them but they're not the ones buying them, it's the airlines who only have a monopoly of 2 global players to choose from in a highly regulated industry with expensive moats to enter meaning Airbus and Boeing don't really need to compete cut-throat.

Governments excel at building large infrastructure and defense companies like Airbus, Boeing, what have you, not at building consumer products at scale like Google, Apple, etc sine their success is dictated by the consumer spending preferences, not by requirements a government makes up.

Communist regimes did not make the best consumer products, the free market did.
