we are at the breaking point. Junta had almost lost all the important economic areas, jade and copper mines , gem mines, recently the whole Rakhine and soon Irrawaddy . There are various group but we all have a common goal , to get rid of Junta and Myanmar PDF have common destination , to get back Peace and Democracy.

If China didn't get involved in stopping TNLA + MNDAA , Junta strong hold of Pyin Oo Lwin and Even Mandalay would have fallen since December.
Now China forced a peace agreement at MNDAA at gunpoint so that strongest force had been halted - we don't like china playing on us , and we are neglected by UN and western powers alike - its all expected we don't have resources that is interesting for the west and its all on our own.

Another reason main stream media stopped reporting on how people started the revolutions with flintlocks are overcoming and winning over well trained , well equipped military , just with our own funding , our own intelligence and our own might, Inventing 3D printed guns , building own fix winged drones and missiles against world 35th rated army. They don't want to report that peasants can win over Tyrants. They don't want to report that Davids with slingshots can defeat a Goliath. If that is well spread and well known , power that be would be very hard to control the populace.

What I prefer about 1UPT is that it forces you to think more deeply about the location of your battles and the terrain you're fighting in. Moving a large army though a narrow mountain pass, for example, is a lot more difficult, as it should be. I also find it aesthetically better to see big, sprawling battlefields. Looks very epic.

I agree the trade-off is that it can be quite tedious to move large armies a long distance.

>Well you talked about ending reliance on fiat currency,

I did not say 'ending reliance'. If the fiat does not inflate, by all means use it. If it does ( and normally does) one has to have the _option_ of opting out. Currently in most places in the world where taxes are imposed that option of opting out is not there. Not using fiat money is either illegal, or if you did transact by other means you will have to pay the government the equivalent of a tax in fiat. The over arching point that I'm trying to make is to ot give govt options to unreasonably controls your life. The government should be there to serve you not the other way around.

What one uses as an alternative to the fiat should be up to you. (which is a whole big topic in itself and _significantly_ larger than a discussion on gold or bitcoin)
I think you vastly underestimate the quality of the electricity grid in Western Europe. Outages are very rare.
When I lived in the Czech countryside, we used to have about one outage per year, and it was almost always a planned one, when the grid required maintenance or expansion/upgrade (new houses being built).

In the city, there is something like one outage per 4 years, usually due to an extreme thunderstorm or floods. And it usually lasts under 20 minutes.

Reliability of the grid is a major indicator of infrastructure quality and I am somewhat surprised by the fact that Americans tolerate so many outages and consider them somehow natural.

This reminds me, I think the normal measures of population density aren't very helpful, but I'm not sure what to replace it with.

If Alaska seceded, almost nobody in the other states would feel the difference, but the population density would jump 15%: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28%28population+USA+-+...

(Or in reverse if Trump acquires Greenland — with no real change to people's experiences, the population density would go down 23%: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28%28population+USA+%2...)

Likewise Australia, the outback is about 70%-85%-ish of the country depending who I ask, with about 607k people in it, so if the Aboriginal Australians were to secede with it, the rest suddenly gets x3-x6 the population density with no actual change to their experiences.
I think that this graph sums it up pretty precisely:

I used Russell and Norvig's "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach" as a starting point for the course's schedule and have modified it over the years to help align with things I think would continue my students have a broad overview of all of AI.

These techniques won't be as widely advertised not because they're inefficient but rather from a marketing perspective it is often easier to just say "AI". However what I would do if I needed to find use case examples would be to search for research articles on Google Scholar [1]. They haven't hooked up a GPT summarizer to Scholar so you'll have to read through everything, but the game is find papers that DID use the approach.

For example, [2] is a research paper looking at utilizing Simulated Annealing to schedule disaster relief teams.

Funny aside, the narrative is usually that Apple was struggling between the time Jobs left and he returned between 1984 and 1997. The truth is that their market cap was larger than Microsoft’s through 1992-93 and they were the largest or second largest computer seller around 1991-94. The bottom didn’t fall out until Windows 95 and Apple manufacturing low end computers no one wanted.

It's particularly cheap in around Melbourne because the government introduced a daily fare cap across the whole state. So it's $10 from Melbourne to the state border, then the other $25 is for the much shorter trip from the border to Canberra.

> I've always wanted turboprop planes to become more common for long haul flights.

The math doesn't seem to make sense for it: there's a maximum speed that can be hit with turboprop (x), and if you can only carry so much fuel (y) as part of your useful payload (to maximize carrying revenue-generating cargo), then you can only go a certain distance. That distance turns out to be <1500 nmi.

I've always had a mind that worked that way - I can imagine how something works or could work before looking up how it actually does work. But there's no real benefit to thinking that way in my experience. Thinking differently has only been a career impediment or gotten on my teachers nerves for being "smart" in my experience.

For example, as a young kid I saw a geometric ball made up of hinges that allow it to expand and contract, and in some stages it looks a little like a gear. So then I started wondering if you change gears instead of switching gears in a car. Then a decade or so later I started seeing CVT transmissions in cars, which is the same concept where you can change the size/ratio by expanding or contracting the roller instead of switching gears.

>We did, actually. Which is why the 777 is still being built, and the 747 is not

The 777 design itself is over 3 decades old by this point - not exactly an argument for how better we fare now. That would be for the 787 - if such an argument could be made. As for 777X, it'ss still facing issues before even launching.

As for the 747 design, far from a failure, it served for like 60 years or so, and 747 models were still being produced until recently (and for 373, there are also more in service than any later model).

>*Actually, the rate of airline accidents and deaths has decrease drastically since the 60s.

The improvements still occurred with the majority of the planes in 2011-2021 still being the same old 40 and 50+ year old runs (they are not merely explained away by new designs replacing the old). So what part of it was improvements in radars, monitoring, ATC, and so on rather than new plane designs?

And how many of the airliners in the olden years were smaller propeller aircraft and not the jet designs under discussion? (most routes in my parts sure were still up to 1990 at least).
I agree, I'd say I usually don't care about aesthetics, but that somehow looks so wrong, I am bothered by it.

I know you’re joking but that graph is spurious:

> We took the graph image, pulled it into Excel and created an Excel graph overlaying it with the 28nm bar normalized to 1 and then entering values for the other bars until they matched the graph. If we then build a set of bars starting at 28nm = 1 scaled up based on the TSMC announced node to node power improvements we get a total improvement of less than 9x. Nodes from N28 to N10 match well but from N7 on the bars on the graph show more improvement per node than TSMC has announced. Just the N3 to N2 bars on the graph show a 55% improvements versus the announced 30% improvement.

No, threading is definitely in-scope. I would agree that networking should be in the standard library (they have been trying for years now). These things have a pretty well-defined scope. GUI libraries, on the contrary, tend to be massive and also rather opinionated. There is no single widely accepted GUI paradigm that could be standardized.

If you're talking about this post:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43010781

You wrote a wall of text saying and refuting absolutely nothing.

The only remotely tangible argument you made was the blurb on “Specifically, as it pertains to monetization, we don’t expect Threads to be a meaningful driver of 2025 revenue at this time,”. Considering Meta reports revenue around $40B and Threads, considering the EU snag, was basically launched last year, this is far from being the failure you are trying to spin it.

But if you had any point worth making, and you didn't had an axe to grind, you wouldn't grasped at straws such as the "As for the wider positive effects to the society at large, feel free to point out any."
