Russia has some very advanced planes that are barely used.

I wouldn't extrapolate too much from the fact that the Su-57 are rarely if ever seen in this conflict.

For a long time they apparently only had two operational Su-57s. Apparently now they have 5-7? This is not a "production" aircraft as we would understand it in the west. Its actual stealth ability is also highly suspect. The official photos as well as photos from airshows have shown some sloppy physical construction that would compromise any stealth ability.

If you are an army with a few SAM's, what you scare you
more: a single F35 coming over the hill, or a swarm of
drones so large you had no hope of taking them all out?

For some kinds of targets, the drones.

For other kinds of targets, the F35.

While your comparison makes sense from a budget perspective, it's not necessarily realistic though. Nobody has the ability to launch that many drones at once and nobody is flying in a single F35.

Also, respectfully, a lot of the anti-manned-fighter arguments boil down to "drones are really good and useful!"

Which is true, but also not something that anybody disputes. Even the most diehard defender of manned aircraft is going to tell you that drones are a huge part of the future of war. And that manned fighters are niche.
Not if all the Muslims around you also don't believe in the Hajj. Orthodox Muslim belief is highly rigid today, but the medieval era there was a time and region when Muslim concepts could be questioned and given some mystical revision instead. That is where Nizari Ismailism (and the Druze who don't even regard themselves as Muslim any more) came out of.
Just like all Sales folks have heavily inflated titles, no customer wants to think they're dealing with a junior salesperson/loan officer when you're about to hand over your money.

It seems like every vendor sales team I work with is an "executive" or "director of sales" even though in reality they're just regular old salespeople.
> (probably) knowingly

That's doing a lot of heavy lifting. I'm sure they knew, personally, but since everything is encrypted, even for themselves, they have plausible deniability. If there is no solid proof of e.g. the company selling to someone they knew is a criminal, there's nothing to be done, legally speaking.

And even then, criminals can talk using e.g. commercially available phones and mobile networks; are those networks / manufacturers / anyone but the criminal responsible for what is talked about?

Yes the seller could reasonably assume their stuff was used by criminals, but so can Signal, Whatsapp, Messenger, anyone offering (encrypted) communication. It doesn't make them guilty themselves.
>They only work due to a huge network of global effort.

And horses don’t need roads like cars do and cars only work thanks to a huge network of global effort. What point are you trying to make? That we abandon planes until we can develop flight as efficient as nature? Abandoning LIDAR until we can develop visual light perception and processing equal to the human eye and brain?

Well, the Umineko anime was pretty bad... But I illustrated the disprecancy between the VN culture and larger Anime culture for reason that the VN subculture is already very close to Anime subculture yet receives much less attention. Of course a few individuals can "graduate", but we can observe statistically most don't. Majority of AoT fans aren't going into MuvLuv.

Contemporary Literary Fiction as in the article is separated by far more cultural layers, there is virtually no cross pollination with the otaku subculture. You are far more likely to get someone who reads Westen literature to expand to Japanese works than an otaku to do so.
Very good article. Thank you.
If your JS tests are dependent on specifics in JavaScriptCore or V8 are you really writing unit tests?

If you want the extra confidence, run it with bun:test and node:test to cover JSC and V8. But JS should be JS and for unit tests feeling a need to test on multiple JS engines is a possible code smell.
There is a "positive manifold" of results across test we call "intelligence tests", this is a property of the test data. What "IQ" does is take the mean of this and call it a property -- no such property exists.

Consider athleticism: across all sporting activites there's a positive correlation of ability. Call it "athleticism". But people do not have "athleticism". If you break there leg some of these correlations disappear, and some survive. Atheticism is a result of a very large number of properties of people, which arises out of highly complex interactions.

Heritability measures the correlation of traits with genes. We have ~20k genes, and we share 90% with mice, almost no genes code for traits. The vast majority of trait-gene correlations are caused by geographical (and cultural) mating patterns. So scottish accents are nearly 100% heritable, since nearly all people with one share some genes; and nearly all people without one do not have at least some of these genes. So much for "heritability" -- the use of this statistic, outside of extremely narrow biological experiments where corrlation is the result of causing genes to corrlete (by design) -- is pseudoscience.

And so 1) there is no trait "intelligence"; and 2) all claims to trait-intelligence-gene correlation are confounded by massive non-genetic factors beyond causal control.

And so: psychometrics is pseudoscience. The vast majority of its popular results are by frauds, charlatans and just plain idiots. I have no pleasant words for them: I call them by their name. Fraud is rampent, and even if it weren't, given causal-physiological semantics to factor correlations is pseudoscience.

It wasnt very hard to see, many of the citations in these famous works of IQ research were conducted under extreme causal confounders (eg., black people in aprethid south africa, people selected for the IQ test by an IQ test, etc.).

There isnt any kind of scientific research which can today establish "IQ" as a property of people --- we have no experiments which can control for known, massive, confounders. We cannot breed generations of people with deterministic genetic variation, deterministic childhoods, (etc. etc.). This kind of science is as impossible today as microbiology was to the greeks.
Just in case: DevKit is optional and requires an account, you can just use the base C# extension which is what provides the language server and the debugger, if you prefer VSCodium there's a fork of it which packs Samsung-authored netcoredbg instead of vsdbg so that is covered too.

I remember some of that. One of my first jobs was a summer internship where I had to setup the engineering computers.
They had AutoCAD and Ventura Publisher and one used expanded memory and the other extended memory. I setup batch files to copy the right configuration into config.sys and autoexec.bat so they would work.

It seems pretty obvious to me that in modern times successful companies pick a segment of business to build expertise in and then expand outward from there.

Your ability to understand a specific client's business is usually gonna be your key differentiator against large incumbents.

Because it is just cosmetic. Governments chronically think they can directly legislate more value into existence. They fail to understand that currency is just an intermediary for trading labor.

And migrating from a no-code app setup to a homegrown application incurs its own set of costs, particularly if both need to be maintained in parallel. One problem with low/no code tools is that they tend not to encourage any sort of data validation, which becomes a problem when you want to migrate a no-code database into a “real” database.
> First, we model the onion as half of a disc of radius one, with its center at the origin and existing entirely in the first two quadrants in a rectangular (Cartesian) coordinate system.

Can someone explain to me why a half sphere (the shape of half an onion) can be modeled as a half-disk in this problem? Why would we expect the solutions to be the same? If you think about the outermost cross-sections at the ends of the onion (closest to the heel and tip of the knife), as you get closer and closer to the ends, you approach cutting these cross-sections more vertically. I'd expect that you'd have to make the center cross-section a bit shallower to "make up" for the fact that the outsides are being cut vertically. Idk, either way I think declaring this the true "Onion constant" is probably wrong.

I think one reason that Japanese fiction is beginning to see pickups in western audiences is because Japanese companies are improving their skills at exporting culture to the west. One aspect of this is translation, where they spent decades building a workforce that is capable of quality translations. Another aspect is that of this is that Western culture is beginning to inspire Japanese creators. This allows Japan to create cultural artifacts that more resonate with Western audiences and inspire them. This is a virtuous cycle, which is good for business, international relations, and human creativity.
I'm quite confident that governments aren't that powerful.

They can issue money, and manage their currency. But I've never heard about any government actually controlling what currency people use. Not even extremely authoritarian ones.
So, specifically with Prenda, those copyright assignments presented in court were forged. Shell companies listed on those documents were also concocted with forged signatures. Should an ISP be expected to investigate claimed copyright assignment, including shell companies; or should Prenda prove that small civil stuff like this needs strong legitimacy or it will attract fraud?
Ask HN: Invest –$400 on a spare laptop or RHCSA certification?
I am a linux professional looking for my next devops/sysadmin etc roles. I am tired of applying and getting my resume rejected. For a few days though since I tuned my resume, I am starting to get calls for interview. But I get rejected in interview as my knowledge probably isn't as good as those with 10 years of experience.

Now, a RHCSA certification would make me do linux administration on my sleep. But having a small lab over my spare laptop(I only have office laptop at this moment) would help me crack the job given I get till interview. However, a red hat cert will get me towards the interview.

My monthly saving is very low (Near about 80$) and I'd need 3-5 months of savings to afford a certification.

Meta does have a monorepo but their open source stuff lives outside it. Or at least it did when I worked on PyTorch (2019). I did all my work in the separate open-source PyTorch repo and then commits got mirrored back to the monorepo by some automated process.

You could also build and run it using completely standard tools; you didn’t need to download random internal source control software etc. like you do for e.g. Chromium.

I think a different, perhaps weird, way of looking at this is that YC looks at the founders first and then market opportunity ("idea") secondly as justification.

YC doesn't need a single version of an idea to "win", and it's often stated plainly it doesn't even necessarily value the "idea" behind a lot of these investments but the founders themselves.

If you look at it that way, it's no surprise that multiple startups are working at the same market opportunity ("idea"), and that YC actually just wanted the founders themselves regardless of whose execution of the "idea" ends up winning (if any).
I would argue your comparison is itself a fallacy of equivalency. There are certain things in nature you cannot (and should not) consume (cooked or uncooked).

Certain foods like milk are the most basic/only source of nutrients for mammals from the time of birth. This isn't anything like raw meat or poisonous berries.
That saves a lot of time.
In theory, it isn't that difficult, in practice writing _accessible_ text takes a lot of practice and feedback. Letting go of your own biases towards base levels (curse of knowledge) is something that already trips most people and what people find really difficult to overcome.

Which is why the statement you are responding to is often more true than you might realize. Because these people have had a lot more practice in that specific area. Although not all of them, that would be a generalization in itself.

Hey folks,

I made this SEO tool a while ago. It did not work out as I intended. Decided I will offer it for free now as I think its a cool tool for brainstorming keywords.

It allows you to get SEO keyword insights (currently only search volume and related keywords + volume).
I might add other features if requested.

For completeness to the reader, the creed preached by Jesus is historically very different.

Rejection of Jesus’s Divinity:
• Islam acknowledges Jesus (Isa) as a prophet but explicitly denies His divinity or status as the Son of God. The Qur’an states: “He [Jesus] was no more than a servant: We granted Our favor to him” (Qur’an 43:59).
• The Qur’an emphasizes that Jesus did not die on the cross but was raised to heaven by God (Qur’an 4:157-158).

Etc., etc.

Islam historically reinterpreted Jesus and rejects the accounts of the first followers of Christ (the Church Fathers circa 100-300 AD).

I’ve always noticed that truly excellent programmers with strong lexical instincts also tend to be formidable with their native language. Not necessarily verbose, but capable of clear and structured writing.

I’d even go so far as to argue that if someone has poor writing skills in their native language, they’re probably not a very good programmer.

> and public companies have a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value.

Public companies have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of its shareholders, maximising shareholder value doesn't mean "in the short term by handicapping long term health" as we currently live under from the management/financial class (and capital investors). The concept has been bastardised, i.e. Boeing's management acting the way they did the past decades has not maximised shareholder value, it has extracted value at the cost of the best interests for shareholders in the long term.

Unfortunately there's no easy way to curtail this behaviour that I can see. Even more when everyone's retirement plan requires being part of the financial market game...

As you mentioned, the incentives are not there for actual maximising shareholder value on the long term, we now see these cycles of healthy growing companies being captured by the financial market when going public, after that it's a process of extracting value in detriment of the health of the company long term, sometimes this process is accelerated, sometimes it makes the company languish for decades, and sometimes the company becomes something else that is still profitable but "evil" in most moral frameworks.

>Are western comics "trojan horses for activism and ESG scores"?

At times they can get very preachy, which is the problem. The reason is irrelevant, be it ESG investments or personal activism or what have you.

Japanese media can (and often does) include elements that are considered progressive, but it's rare for those to be crudely inserted for the sake of inserting them. Characters or themes that would be bemoaned in western media are appreciated because they are actually done in interesting ways, rather than acting as a political vibe check for the reader.

Which, in all honesty, is how I feel about this comment thread too. I simply do not believe anymore that people don't know what others mean when they say "woke". Not at this point. Yes it's hard to give a specific definition, but so is the case for fascism and the word is so, SO overused in political discourse that, funny enough, it has almost lost its meaning. Rarely does anyone go around saying "define fascism". And so comments are laid as bait, lest someone take a misstep which allows them to be branded as a series of -ists.

Whatever "woke" is, it is a thing. And many people are exhausted from it.
>>If there is no solid proof of e.g. the company selling to someone they knew is a criminal, there's nothing to be done, legally speaking.

If you look at the article it has examples found of the company employees explicitly saying they are meeting with criminals so to play it safe. It doesn't get any more "solid proof" than that.

>>are those networks / manufacturers / anyone but the criminal responsible for what is talked about?

No, but again - read the article. There are examples of their employees saying that a client of theirs was arrested so they proactively wiped their phone - that could be interpreted as knowingly destroying evidence. They did end up changing this policy to not wipe phones of people who have been arrested, precisely because of this concern.

>>Yes the seller could reasonably assume their stuff was used by criminals, but so can Signal, Whatsapp, Messenger, anyone offering (encrypted) communication

The difference is most likely in how it's advertised and sold. Whatsapp is a free app that anyone can use, Facebook can reasonably claim that they don't advertise to criminals or encourage illegal use because the app is free to anyone. The owners of this app made it paid and they actively pursued clients they knew were members of criminal rings. Whether that passes the threshold for holding the company liable - that's for courts to decide. But that's generally where I think the line is. Anyone can make and sell a knife, but start selling knives(knowingly) to gang members and you're going to be in trouble even though selling a knife isn't illegal in itself.

Homelab over certification, easily. The best engineers I know never held a cert. Some hiring managers consider it a negative signal. It's the same problem with bootcamp coders - it's a signal that you need to be explicitly instructed to learn, versus being able to self-start and learn organically.
Seems easy enough to do a quick fix for. Just add a option to maven that goes straight into compile and does nothing else. Would be good for local dev. However as we all know maven does much more than this and server side ci/cd process is what really slows your other team members down (if its slow)
