You should let SFO and the handful of other airports with private security know they can decrease costs by switching to TSA.

Red herring, I think. There are many goals for education outcomes, some noble and some base.
Docker Swarm mode? I know it’s not as well maintained, but I think it’s exactly what you talk about here (forget K3s, etc). I believe smaller companies run it still and it’s perfect for personal projects. I myself run mostly docker compose + shell scripts though because I don’t really need zero-downtime deployments or redundancy/fault tolerance.
Through all of this, don't get me wrong, the rigorous application of rationality that it takes to step-by-step construct a proof is very important and an incredibly useful skill. Also, I agree that basically no-one can hold more than 3 things in their head at once.

The book also agrees vehemently that math is NOT restricted to "geniuses" and even argues that those don't really exist in the way that culture thinks they do.

However! His assertion is that the (to him) tedious, laborious, error-prone, paperwork is not the fundamental output of "doing math". For him, symbolic written mathematics is akin to sheet music. It would in principle be possible to teach students to read and write sheet music and even do manipulations like transposing it to different keys, without ever letting them listen to music. It would be hard and boring. Some students would find the memorization and application of rules satisfying but most would struggle.

In such a classroom, there might be one student who by chance figures out for herself that you can kind of "hear" these symbols in your brain and suddenly all the arbitrary rules seem obvious and natural and she doesn't even have to go through the tedious steps at all to answer questions. "Of course this is in a minor key." she might say. "No, I didn't rigorously check each chord, it's just... obvious".

Such a student would be labeled a "prodigy" or "genius", and would struggle to explain to others that no, what she's doing isn't harder than the her classmates laboriously doing the rote work, it's actually much easier.

Of course... this is not to denigrate sheet music. It's a wonderful invention that makes it possible to transmit music out of one person's brain to the brains of an orchestra.

Just like written mathematics.

The author's contention is that, like the contrived example above, no-one ever talks about "the music" of mathematics, just the sheet music, and therefore things are much harder than they need to be.

One of the simple mathematical examples he uses is to ask: Can you imagine a circle in your head (unironically an amazing thing to be able to do!). Then to ask a question like: Can a straight line intersect a circle in 3 places?

You likely have an immediate, intuitive response to this highly non-trivial mathematical problem. That's the music. Now, try to write that down in mathematical language for someone who can't see circles. Oof, it's going to be a slog.
Why do you need to detect Zalgo-isms and why is it so important that you want to force people to misspell their names?

>Hamas had zero interest in coexistence

I don't think the evidence favors this conclusion. Their actions immediately following 2006 suggests they definitely had quite a bit of interest - they enforced a ceasefire after 2006 (also punishing other groups that attempted to break it), and according to former President Carter were willing to accept a 2-state solution if the Palestinians democratically approved it. This was all put on hold after Cast Lead, which aligns with the Israeli policy of denying a two-state solution.

The only piece of evidence I can think of that counters this is Hamas' charter, which IIRC calls for the creation of a Palestinian state in all of former Mandatory Palestine which would imply the destruction of Israel. But even then, based on the pragmatism demonstrated above (and the openness to a two-state solution), the Hamas leadership were rational enough to realize this goal could not be achieved.
I'm sort of undecided here. Yeah it's great for some use cases & many people, we should probably do it, seems worth it.

But also, before having 40k thingies on the orbit that will decay/break within years, why not think of a better strategy or the implications of this? We shouldn't repeat all the mistakes we have made in the past.

Most global deforestation involves slash and burn. This releases the carbon stored in the trees. But I think that's OPs point. A growing tree doesn't remove carbon, it temporarily stores it until it dies or burns.
Like e.g. this:

> The official is that something must be returned to nature before climate change destroys everything.

Nature is an abstraction, not a weird angry god. We need to capture GHG and stop emitting more but that’s pretty much it. That will most likely involve reforestation as it’s a good carbon sink but using the expression “returning thing to nature” is not a correct way to frame it.
Tailscale (also using wireguard for transport) and similar overlay networks kind of do that.

With Tailscale there is a central server, you can sign in with single-sign-on, that server enables automatic mesh configuration and helps nodes communicate specifics for port knocking, routing, dns, etc. And there are derp servers (think of them like TURN servers) that can be used as proxies when direct communication can't be established.

Altogether this is easier to set up than Wireguard, but the central server is not open source (but there is Headscale, and open source implementation), and it is not as well supported on routers (it is supported on OpenWRT though and probably can be set up using containers on Mikrotik).
I see plenty of blogs generated from Markdown with tools like that.

Perhaps aliens eat right handed life, but left handed life is poison to them.

Seriously. It would be a pretty good selector, and said “alien” need be no more than a snippet of RNA - and it would be entirely gone from earth now, eliminated by us sinister life forms.

Denmark exports a lot of the produced food, and we are one of the most intensely farmed countries in the world, 60.4% of Denmark consists of fields, and 48% of Denmark's land area is used to grow food for animals, animals which are primarily pigs.

We also yearly import 1.8 million tons of soy from South America to feed said pigs, because we can't grow enough food for them ourselves.

Look at a map of Taiwan. Or better, look at it in Google Earth. Taiwan is a narrow island with a mountain range running north-south down the middle. The developed areas are west of the mountains, facing China, in a strip 15 to 30km wide.

There's no defensive depth. And nowhere for all the people to go in an attack. It's not like Ukraine, where the current fighting is like battling over Iowa, one farm at a time. It's more like Gaza, with too many people crammed into too little land. But bigger.

China has a large number of truck-mounted anti-ship missiles. Bringing US Navy ships in the Taiwan strait means losing many of them. The PLAN has more ships than the US Navy, and is building more at a high rate.
It's great news in the sense that this new energy storage and EV production capacity is (part of) our best chance to avoid catastrophic outcomes from climate change.

It's terrifying because we (in the West) can't seem to motivate ourselves to do anything like this on the same timescale, and nations that suffered similar disparities in industrial capacity (not to mention energy production) haven't done well in the past.
It's super easy actually. Name consists of three parts -- Family Name, Given Name and Patronymic, spelled using Ukrainian Cyrillic. You can have a dash in the Family name and apostrophe is part of Cyrillic for this purposes, but no spaces in any of the three. If are unfortunate enough to not use Cyrillic (of our variety) or Patronymics in the country of your origin (why didn't you stay there, anyway), we will fix it for you, mister Нкріск. If you belong to certain ethnic groups who by their custom insist on not using Patronymics, you can have a free pass, but life will be difficult, as not everybody got the memo really. No, you can not use Matronimyc instead of Patronymic, but give us another 30 years of not having a nuclear war with country name starting with "R" and ending in "full of putin slaves si iiia" and we might see to that.

Unless of course the name is not used for official purposes, in which case you can get away with First-Last combination.

It's really a non issue and the answer is jurisdiction bound. In most of Europe extented Latin set is used in place of Cyrillic (because they don't know better), so my name is transliterated for the purposes of being in the uncivilized realms by my own government. No, I can't just use Л and Я as part of my name anywhere here.
Yes, and now we are back at the ancestor comment’s original point: “at the end of the day kubernetes feels like complexity trying to abstract over complexity, and often I find that's less successful that removing complexity in the first place”

Which I understand to mean “some people think using Kubernetes will make managing a system easier, but it often will not do that”
To be more precise, Glagolitic was the originally created script, with wholly original letter shapes.

Cyrillic was a later iteration by the Slavs themselves - Bulgarians, to be precise - where those new shapes were mostly replaced with Greek letters (except where there was no direct equivalent), presumably because those guys were translating a lot of Greek books, and having similar alphabets for both Greek and Church Slavonic made things easier.

Why was it decided not to build on any existing content-addressable networking system (IPFS or whatever)?

my guess is that we’d want data hosting to be under direct control of the user (same as web hosting) rather than peer-to-peer, want instant deletion/edits at the source, need ability to move to a different host or take content down, need grouping into collections. not sure how much IPFS could adapt

‪dan‬ ‪@danabra.mov‬

we do use some pieces from IPFS through (aside from the actual peer to peer mechanism)

you can basically ignore it, we don't use "IPFS" proper anywhere.

there are strong social connections, and we borrow some tech components like CIDs (flexible hash/digest syntax) and DAG-CBOR (more-deterministic subset of CBOR, good for signing+hashing)

yeah this is all accurate. bluesky remixed a lot of IPFS components and patterns in interesting ways, but the monolithic global IPFS network (with chatty DHT distribution) wouldn't make sense here, BS made an infinitely more efficient/performant distribution of bytes tailored to its use case.

FWIW the IPFS foundation is working on making IPFS more modular and easily remixed for future BlueSkies, but it's a big task decomposing the monolith and reorienting the documentation and ergonomics...

This is such an unhinged take, what if a super villain decided to build missiles to attack satellites? You understand that’s something nation states struggle with, that billionaire status doesn’t even guarantee success on.

Some bitcoin bro with a net worth in the millions is not building orbit reaching guided missiles in their garage. And if they were the satellites would be the least of our concerns.

I totally get that companies are probably more successful using simple validation rules, that work for the vast majority of names rather than just accepting everything just so that some person with no name or someone whose name cannot possibly be expressed or at least transliterated to Unicode can use their services.

But that person's name has no business failing validation. They fucked up.

Ah this is super cool! I’ve been thinking about doing this with my website, but was going to leverage the whtwind lexicon, since my site is mostly a blog. But for the front page, and anything else, I may have wanted something else.

This is more of an unstructured approach, which is cool because it needs less specialized tooling. It has the disadvantage of being… well, just a blob. No semantic information there.
I lost count of the projects where this was an issue. US and Western European-born devs are oblivious to this problem and it ends up catching them over and over again.

Criminals push the rules really hard too. It's just that they're only labeled criminals by society if they're caught, prosecuted, and punished.

People who "push the rules" (I call this cheating, if I was playing a tabletop game with someone who did this, I would say they were cheating too) have an unfair advantage over the people who do follow the rules.

When I was a kid, the most advanced tech we had was an electric calculator. If our parents didn't watch us, a babysitter did. At most, we had an Atari 2600 for video games on the spare B&W TV that got replaced with a Color TV for the father and mother. We played outside and kickball in the streets until the lights came on.

Today's kids have smartphones, PCs/Macs, Video Game Consoles, and movie streaming devices and are unsupervised on the Internet. For role models, they have rap stars who sing about sex and drugs. They have no respect for teachers or other adults and don't know how good they have it compared to me and the rest of Generation X. No wonder they are getting ruder.

I tried this and it works! One unfortunate impact is a loss in simplicity. In the example on the page you can apply the non-JavaScript version to pretty much any element and get a nice glass effect with `border-radius` and such still functioning as expected.

Using `clip-path` I'm able to consider background pixels more correctly but it looks like I'd need an extra div and/or some sizing tricks to get everything working exactly as expected.

I'll keep noodling on this and may add an update to the page if a simple solution comes to mind.
You should have asked how they would encode the german currency sign (€ for euro) in ASCII or its german counterpart latin1/iso-8859-1...

It's not possible. However I bet they would argument to use iso-8859-15 (latin9 / latin0) with the international currency sign (¤) instead or insist that char 128 of latin1 is almost always meant as €, so just ignore the standard in these cases and use a new font.

This would only fail in older printers and who is still printing stuff these days? Nobody right?

No, it's a huge amount relative to the nutrition it actually provides. There is so much terrible (by any metric apart from maybe direct monetary cost) meat consumed and there are vested interests in a lot of industries to maintain that status quo.

Don't get me wrong, good meat is delicious and there are plenty of ecosystems that require grazing and large herbivores to maintain, but the current system is devastating and doesn't provide nearly as much nutrition to the end user as it consumes in its production.
Don't forget USA auto companies also outsource their design work, CAD, etc. My understanding is that TATA used to have a whole floor at Chrysler.
Europe has a huge coastline, it's impossible to blockade. If war breaks out, it's better to shift workers from agriculture to war-related production, and import food from places that are not at war, such as South America. Food produced in Europe is basically a luxury. For every kilogram of beef produced in Denmark, you can buy 2.5 kg of Argentinian beef.
How was that related to the ONNX format?
