Congress needs to be expanded to do its job, and drop the filibuster. We need more, proportionally allocated representatives. Representatives that come from more than one of two parties. Representatives that spend more time at home than on the campaign trail or in DC.
> The lack of any response from Europe or the US beyond some angry words led him to draw an entirely rational conclusion: that the Western alliance would not pose a serious threat to his military conquests.

That's one way to say it. Another way to say it is Putin got his ass handed to him, thanks to NATO, without a NATO member having to fire a single shot. Seems like a pretty powerful organization to me.
Incidentally, this is still how it works in China today.

you are citing a result, but, I guarantee you that there are a lot of lawyers involved on all sides.. nothing about employment law in the USA is simple IMHO
I think that's fine, have seen this published publicly before. A major part of the test is the operational testing, so the crews who actually do the test fire treat it exactly like they would in the field, and are isolated from the more test side of things. This includes the maintenance crews from the field who work on that particular missile. Sometimes the Airborne Launch Control System aircraft is involved, but infrequently afaik.

The test side in parallel treats it like a normal-ish space launch with countdown, tracking, telemetry, etc and the ability to destruct if it goes off course. None of that is possible with an unmodified weapon.

I am not aware of tests ever being a part of broader war game type simulations as that is probably too hair-trigger for the Russians, etc.
You said:

> new contracts for military cyber trucks were signed just last week.

To repeat: Biden admin signed those contracts and they were last updated in December. So not new, not last week, not a deal with Trump admin.

> Space X was contracted to “fix” FAA

No. DOGE, which is a government department of ~100 people, will work to fix FAA, not SpaceX. And you don't have to use scary quotes: by their own admission traffic control system is tech from 70.

Finally, why don't you tell us which SpaceX government contract should be given to another company and how much more will that other company charge (assuming they are even capable of executing the task).
I don't agree because they were simply talking election denial, so 2016 and 2020 both equally fit. Unfortunately there looks to be a lot of denial and conspiracy theories around 2024 too now, which is very dangerous to democracy.

You are a text book example of a Sea Lion [ref 1]. You have no honest intention to engage.

-----

For the other people to learn to spot these kind of people, some context:

«The sealioner feigns ignorance and politeness while making relentless demands for answers and evidence (while often ignoring or sidestepping any evidence the target has already presented), under the guise of "just trying to have a debate",[5][6][8][11] so that when the target is eventually provoked into an angry response, the sealioner can act as the aggrieved party, and the target presented as closed-minded and unreasonable.[7][12][13] It has been described as "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate".[9] Sealioning can be performed by an individual or by a group acting in concert.[14]»

«Rhetorically, sealioning fuses persistent questioning—often about basic information, information easily found elsewhere, or unrelated or tangential points—with a loudly-insisted-upon commitment to reasonable debate. It disguises itself as a sincere attempt to learn and communicate. Sealioning thus works both to exhaust a target's patience, attention, and communicative effort, and to portray the target as unreasonable. While the questions of the "sea lion" may seem innocent, they're intended maliciously and have harmful consequence»

What will follow will be victim play and projection, accusing the other of "not playing by the rules". It will likely end with a claim of victory as people will walk out of a discussion with such a person. Do not engage with this kind of people, they feed on it.

I don't get your point. I support clean energy.
A few years back, I thought there would be more of a push to regulate/limit American, at least contact, football. But didn't happen. Soccer? Good luck.
I understand the claim and what they are trying to do (and they've been trying to do it for 20 years now). It's an interesting approach and it is orthogonal enough from other efforts that it is absolutely worthwhile to pursue scientifically (I'm in an adjacent field in condensed matter physics).

But they are doing a full court press in the media (professionally produced talking head videos, NYT articles/other media, etc, etc) claiming all of those things you've just said are right around the corner. And that's going to confuse and mislead the public. So there needs to push back on what I think is clear bullshit/spin by a company trying to sell itself using this development.
Not that I disagree with anything about the nature of those games, but your narrow usage of a word poker is wrong.

That's connected with a basic usability complaint about current web interfaces, that ads and recommended content aren't stable. You very well might want to engage with an ad after you are done engaging what you wanted to engage with but you might never see it again. Similarly, you might see two or three videos that you want to click on on the side of a YouTube video you're watching but you can only click on one (though if you are thinking ahead you can open these in another tab.)

On top of that immediate frustration, the YouTube style interface here

That's because people who are not power-hungry see the dangers in becoming too powerful (and therefore often best suited to be in power). Not saying Biden was the best president ever or anything, but power-hungry leaders for the most part do not work out well for citizens -- history is full of examples.
It has nothing to do with unions in this case.

It's generally accepted that a professional civil service is superior to a spoils system. That it's better to have a civil service that promotes people based on merit and retains experience from administration to administration, than a system where most key people are political appointees serving the current administration.

A professional civil service sometimes comes into conflict with the political component of the executive branch. Because of that, civil servants need stronger employment protections than ordinary employees. For example, the administration should not be able to fire a career civil servant for politically motivated reasons and replace them with a loyalist.

But hiring obviously goes wrong from time to time. A probationary period with a lower bar for firing is a compromise that makes hiring mistakes less costly if they are detected early.
>Congress is the other branch of government and has no power or authority here.

The judiciary is the other other branch of government and absolutely has power and authority here if laws or contractual agreements (e.g., requirements to fire for cause) are being violated.

The President isn't an absolute monarch, even within the Executive Branch.

>Contacting representatives and senators would be a waste of time.

Aside from formal legal power, Congressional Reps and Senators can apply pressure to the President to change his policies, which they will do if enough of their constituents express their anger at these actions.

Arguably "success" is an externally managed and unbiased shorthand for quality.

As in, it's hard to "get ahead" by definition. So anyone that's overtly ahead of the pack has therefore been vetted as superior to most everyone else. It's a reasonable proxy for gauging intelligence, charisma, and interpersonal skills without even meeting them.

As you get more information you'd realize he made his millions making, say, a software product so, fine, that lowers the assumption of interpersonal skills and charisma and increases it of intelligence. Regardless, the shorthand implies an excess compared to average.

TL;DR - Arguably, "successful" is a rational and effective way to gauge a mate's value.

Is the EPA, at the direction of the sitting president, making rules about coal power plants not an example of the use of "all executive power. All of it."? Or does A2S1 carve out exceptions for the EPA, even if it doesn't for those other agencies?

Whatever you think about Chevron deference or the specific EPA case I'm alluding to, the point is: The balance of power between the executive and legislative branches is nowhere near as clear cut as your comment suggests. Congress frequently legislates the structure and responsibilities of executive agencies. Presidential administrators cannot legally change those responsibilities unilaterally.

Obviously Democrat politicians will make noise over this, but Trump just won an election and the Republican may believe that this is what their voters want, or at least they don't really care about it. They may be unaware of how things are actually playing out.

> There is no such thing as privacy-respecting advertising.

Sure there is; print ads are fine, and nothing prevents that style being used on the web (in fact, I'm aware of a local paper that does do that). It's just that advertisers really want to spy on users, so they pretty much always do.
It mostly just uses those other solutions in the background. You can open the Analyzing and see it building a script with OpenCV for vision tasks. It's a handy front-end.
I don’t get why anyone would use Svelte to be honest (other than because of the hype/marketing).

If you like template like syntax and single file components the. Vue provides the same benefits, with a bigger ecosystem and better team behind it (non vercel backed, that’s a big advantage).

If you prefer JSX, performance, simplicity and integration with vanilla js then why not use Solid instead?

I’ve used svelte for a medium size project and ended up regretting it. (For the above reasons).

>I did not claim them to be related to package management, and I agree.

Sure, but TFA is about installation, and I wanted to make sure we're all on the same page.

>I understand that. The issue is, that people keep complaining about things that can be solved in rather simple ways.

Can be. But there are many comparably simple ways, none of which is obvious. For example, using the most basic level of tooling, I put my venvs within a `.local` directory` which contains other things I don't want to put in my repo nor mention in .gitignore. Other workflow managers put them in an entirely separate directory and maintain their own mapping.

>Whether you delete the venv and re-create it, or have a dependency managing tool, that removes unused dependencies, I don't care, but you will know it, when you use such a tool.

Well, yes. That's the entire point. When people are accustomed to using a single venv, it's because they haven't previously seen the point of separating things out. When they realize the error of their ways, they may "prefer to delegate to other tooling", as I said. Because it represents a pretty radical change to their workflow.

> That Pip is 19 years older than NPM doesn't have to be a negative. Those are 19 years more time to have worked on the issues as well.

In those 19 years people worked out ways to use Python and share code that bear no resemblance to anything that people mean today when they use the term "ecosystem". And they will be very upset if they're forced to adapt. Reading the Packaging section of the Python Discourse forum (https://discuss.python.org/c/packaging/14) is enlightening in this regard.

> In those 19 years no one had issues with non-reproducible builds?

Of course they have. That's one of the reasons why uv is the N+1th competitor in its niche; why Conda exists; why meson-python (https://mesonbuild.com/meson-python/index.html) exists; why https://pypackaging-native.github.io/ exists; etc. Pip isn't in a position to solve these kinds of problems because of a) the core Python team's attitude towards packaging; b) Pip's intended and declared scope; and c) the sheer range of needs of the entire Python community. (Pip doesn't actually even do builds; it delegates to whichever build backend is declared in the project metadata, defaulting to Setuptools.)

But it sounds more like you're talking about lockfiles with hashes. In which case, please just see https://peps.python.org/pep-0751/ and the corresponding discussion ("Post-History" links there).

Can recommend having an oldschool landline phone.

When my oldest was 6 and started walking home from school by herself, we got a cheap push-button landline phone and an cheap no-name box where you would plug power and a SIM card into one end and the phone cord into the other end.

Taped a piece of paper with our phone numbers to the phone mount, and she would call us almost every day when she got home just because she could. And she still remembers our phone numbers by heart, 7 years later.

To take a tangent off of 3: Automation eliminated art and craft in a lot of areas. Suddenly it's about economies of scale and things get optimised into Good Enough mass products with little to no variety. Consider architecture (bland), clothing (low durability), food (fast food, frozen food, worse nutrition, bland taste) etc etc.

Sure, people happily buy all this stuff, it works. But I can't help but feel our stuff is a lot worse than it used to be. I bet I'm not alone.

So in that sense, automation has a downside compared to work done by humans that care about their craft and quality. Craft and quality is harder to scale, so we scale mediocre things. Whether or not humans use machines and tools for their work is not the issue. That tools and machines combined with economic pressures lead us down a path of producing worse stuff is.

You can look at it through a lense of "if it fulfills the function, who cares". But I for one do prefer having unique, well crafted, quality stuff. But the market pressures work against that.

Now my outlook is not as bleak as I make it sound. There's still a lot of quality stuff being made with love.

But my point is: Just because we can seemingly meet requirements with the cheapest most scalable approach, doesn't mean it's the best we can do. It's just the most Good Enough we can do.

I've known about this issue since Lllama 1. Tried it with Llama 2 and Mistral when those models were released. LLMs are not databases.

The test I ran was to ask the LLM about an expired domain of a doctor (obstetrician). I no longer remember the exact domain, but it was similar to annasmithmd.com. One LLM would tell me it used to belong to a doctor named Megan Smith. Another got the name right, Anna Smith, but when I asked it what kind of a doctor, which specialty, it answered pediatrician.

So the LLM had no clue, but from the name of the domain it could infer (I guess that's why they call it inference) that the "md" part was associated with doctors.

By the way, newer LLMs are very good at making domains more human readable by splitting them into words.
