> The political "left" has become much the same in the other direction here these days as well

There are some rather unhinged people on the left, sure, but they're basically just nutters on the internet, maybe a few activist groups, and things like that. They're certainly not the ones running the show: by and large the people elected to office on a Democratic ticket are ... just normal sane people.[1] People you can disagree with, dislike, or even hate: that's all fine. I intently dislike Ronald Reagan, but he was also a relatively normal sane person so that's okay, and part of the normal democratic process.

What we've seen in the Republican party is completely different. Not just over the last few months, over the last few decades. Remember Mitch McConnell just outright obstructed anything for years simply as a power game to make the Democrats look bad? Or Republican actors cooking up crazy conspiracies about the Clintons and then banging on and on and on about it for years and years?

And of course the Democratic party isn't perfect. But there are degrees of things, and it's just not comparable. This is "murder, rape, and shoplifting" – all are illegal and should be prosecuted, but they're also not hte same.

People saying that "both sides are the same" are deeply and profoundly misinformed, suffering from pseudo-intellectual delusions of "being above it all", or just outright arguing in bad faith.

[1]: I'm sure there are the occasional exceptions – there are thousands of people if we count federal, state, and local level and any group of thousands has a few nutjobs no matter how you qualify them. It's not above the baseline nutjob factor.
From polls it seems like Musk/Trump have the popular support...
Is Gaba the answer to better sleep, sobriety and less anxiety?

No. It does not pass the blood brain barrier unless there is damage.
Kushner said it best. "Noone goes as low as Trump." So you also get to deal with what politics looks like when it reaches its lowest, nastiest form.

Trump's a hero to the right, but on the left there's a pretty reasonable sense that Trump's actions have already amounted to literal treason if you consider him to have an obligation to uphold the oaths he has taken.

He attempted to get Zelensky to go on US TV and execute a political attack on Democrats as a condition of the US helping Ukraine.

He attempted to get the 2020 election flipped by making mafia-don style calls to Georgia asking them to "find" precisely the number of votes which would have made him win that election. He next asked Pence to change the result for him. All of these were acts of open treason against the People of the United States, so long as you count the People of the United States as including people who didn't vote for him.

It was ~20 years ago, so my memory is a little foggy, but I gave myself a "dancer's fracture" in one foot.

After many months, it was looking like a non-union. The podiatrist was worried any pin would split the broken bone even more. It wasn't looking good.

I had read something along these lines even back then, so with my crazy immobilizer boot on, I head to the gym and started doing light squats several times per week.

Next x-ray: healed.

ToM is about being able to model the internal beliefs/desires etc of another person as being entirely distinct from yours. You're basically bringing up a particular implementation of long-term memory as a necessary component of it, which I've never once seen? If someone has severe memory issues, they could forget who Steve is every few minutes, but still be able to look at Steve doing something and model what Steve must want and believe given his actions

I don't think we have any strong evidence on whether LLMs have world-models one way or another - it feels like a bit of a fuzzy concept and I'm not sure what experiments you'd try here.

I disagree with your last point, I think those are functionally the same sentence
If by "toy" you mean R/C aircraft, that's usually not even gasoline, but a mix of methanol and nitromethane, no lead in sight (and these days you'll find a lot more R/C stuff that's battery-powered instead). But when you move over to the general aviation world, yes, leaded gas is still the rule rather than the exception. While 100 LL has less lead than the older 100/130, it still has far more than even now-phased-out leaded auto gas. There are some aviation diesels that run on jet fuel, but they're few and far between (and sometimes vaporware), and aviation engines certified for auto fuel aren't very common, either.
In Go, people will write code to use the standard library for the app they are developing instead of pulling in a framework to do the work for them. Most Go developers have a culture of minimizing dependencies to utterly essential ones that they cannot write on their own.

In Java, people will pull in a 100MB+ mega-framework for a hello-world REST service. Oh and another 50MB for ORM. Another 25MB+ for nailpolish, etc.

The extreme difference in basic developer culture causes visible differences in performance outcomes. Can't even blame the JVM - it is a superb beast that is overloaded by Java developers putting Mount Everest atop it.
Isn't that the whole point of those sort of actions? Send public money into private hands. Just like when they sold off public assets like a telco (Telstra), or a bank (CommBank) etc.
The quote also doesn't indicate the SpaceX team is being "brought in to overhaul FAA systems", that seems like a big mistake if that tweet is all they are basing it on. The tweet says the FAA is tasked with overhauling their ATC system, and people from SpaceX are visiting to share ideas, and it seems to include an open invitation to others to do the same.

Political pettiness, and speculation about whether Musk got some special favor or advantage that would not be available to other companies aside, it doesn't seem like a bad idea to get cross-pollination and share ideas with other organizations and fields. SpaceX may not know much about ATC but they probably do know something about monitoring and control and collision avoidance in rockets and satellites.
As far as I know, there is no tooling support to propagate these marks to the launcher program even in cases where they can be statically discovered. (This could be similar how dynamic linker agents (audit modules) are handled by the Solaris linker, via DT_AUDIT and DT_DEPAUDIT markers.) Mainly because OpenJDK does not provide a tool (beyond jar) that creates launchers.

This doesn't concern features that have been traditionally abused (such as reflection on core OpenJDK classes), but also harmless (from an encapsulation perspective) uses of JNI, and access to future features such as FFI/Panama. Justification for restricting those as well is not so much OpenJDK updates, I think, but that it could cause crashes that might be blamed on OpenJDK.
Maybe you can give some specific examples
Stackoverflow famously ran on a single, although quite beefy server PC for a long time (not any longer, but not for performance reasons AFAIK).

I think it's a good data point to have to scale your workload to stackoverflow's, and reconsider the hardware costs.

(Obviously horizontal scaling has its place, but if it's that variably scalable, maybe there are better solutions, e.g. a single bigger instance -- often times even for cheaper)

Most of those some people - again, including me - are saying the opposite about AI.

The lesson to draw isn't "there's a lot of hype, means there's nothing there", nor is it "there's a lot of hype, means there something there". It's "we need to actually think about the technology we're discussing and make object-level decisions, not meta-level decisions".

Collaboration on YouTube Faceless Channel
Hey everyone, I'm working on a YouTube automation project with a fully functional channel that uses a bot for uploading videos and a script that downloads and edits content with MoviePy.
I'm looking to expand by creating more channels and need collaborators who can help identify viral niches and perfect the SEO—titles, descriptions, and tags. If you can write video generation scripts in Python or have creative ideas for sourcing content, I'll take the maintenance and hosting part. Revenue sharing could be discussed if the project monetizes, though it's not the main focus at this point.
To be fair, a system like ACAS is quite old and modern systems with better margins are currently developed and tested, they use techniques such as logic of dynamical systems to proof that the collision avoidance is working as intended. If one can accelerate these it would be an improvement. Don't know about air traffic control, but Europe seems to more advanced.

in Air Traffic Control? At SpaceX? Do tell . . .

These aren't the same domains.

That technical nitpick aside, this is a classic business move whereby a preferred and privileged private operator gets exclusive ground floor access to get in on a leech like remora attachment to a spigot of public funds for decades.

That's the corruption part, not the touchy feely first phase "just some experts having a look".

> Looking back, waiting six months could have helped us avoid many issues. Early adopters usually find problems that get fixed later.

This is really good advice and what I'm following for all systems which need to be stable. If there aren't any security issues, I either wait a few months or keep one or two versions behind.
Even more generally, plot the reliability of HDD and SSD along the price axis. Plot such charts for a few widespread sizes (say, 256 GiB to 8 TiB). For bonus points, plot SLC, DLC, QLC flash drives separately, and normal / shingled HDDs separately.

Alternatively, plot price per GB for given levels of reliability. I suspect that this chart is going to have distinct sweet spots.

Die as a result of giving attention to and upgrading air traffic control systems? Didn't a bunch of people die recently as a result of not intervening in this manner?

The Verge is... often a nauseating experience because between every line they're hammering a side-hustle point with blunt force.

Duffy: "I’m asking for help from any high-tech American developer or company that is willing to give back to our country..."

Duffy: "...learn what air traffic controllers like and dislike about their current tools, and envision how we can make a new, better, modern and safer system....Zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were let go"

Sounds like they're asking air traffic controllers what they need. I doubt Musk will storm in with kitchen sink, light a cigar and put his boots up on the console.

Great project. This unfortunately also tells us that the 'top skills' mentioned on the site are actually going to be the ones which an AI WILL easily displace the jobs of programmers with the following 'skills':

1. Node.js

2. React

3. JavaScript

4. TypeScript

5. Python

6. Java

Would completely avoid super specializing in these 'skills' unless you are the top 1% in them as these employers are extremely selective and expect candidates to be in the top 1% out of thousands of applicants.

I really enjoy my DC-1 but after a quick skim, I didn't notice any mention of the screen's ability to scratch.

I took mine in a backpack up to my parents place and apparently something lightly caused a scratch on the screen so now I just have a permanent little gouge.

Thankfully I've learned to ignore it over time but yeah, don't assume it's as indestructible as a lot of screens.

The DC-1 does/did ship with a padded cover which makes me think it doubled as the engineering fix for when/if they realised that might be an issue.
Yes, it is technically possible, but it is occult knowledge. I don't know how. I know the one Kindle with ads I had, they somehow disappeared and never returned after I reset it, possibly because I did not connect it to any Amazon account or Wifi. You won't get any help with that aspect from any mainstream Kindle jailbreak devs or on MobileRead, as they follow a general policy of live and let live with Amazon. They don't get DMCAs on jailbreaks, they don't help people "pirate".

Notation making it easier to intuit logarithmic scales does sound like a good idea in a world where human societies partially struggles to come to action because of things like the majority of people not intuitively understanding exponential growth, or the difference in scale between "millionaire" or "billionaire". It would be a good tool for the mind.
It's a largely academic question. HDDs simply don't have the performance required for modern use, and NAND flash SSDs are not archival if left unpowered, so it's SSDs for all online storage and HDDs for backups.

You do have to take precautions: avoid QLC SSDs, and SMR hard drives.

I don't know how this author wrote this with a straight face.

"Rising nationalism will only accelerate this decline and disappoint public expectations, the economist argues in his column."

Nationalists are exactly what you need for a country to do better in any sector. They foster national unity, ensuring a cohesive society that works toward common goals. They prioritize economic protectionism, strengthening domestic industries and reducing reliance on foreign markets. They bring political stability, allowing for decisive leadership and effective governance. They invest in military strength, ensuring national security and strategic independence. They preserve cultural identity, reinforcing national pride and resilience. They promote civic engagement, leading to stronger governance and a more involved public.

This isn't decline. It is the foundation of a nation's success.
I agree for most things, not sure about the bitmap though. I'm not a golang user, but from what I know it doesn't have operator overloading, so you can't make a more elegant solution with proper types. Considering this, bitmaps are fairly readable and let you do things like easy comparisons without writing tons of && or ||.

As long as they are declared as enums or similar, I don't see the problem (IIRC the iota keyword let's you do something like FLAG = 1 << iota;).
Iframes are not <frameset>. Frameset really is dead now you can have CSS fixed left and top headers.
You're really comparing an IDE's autocomplete with something that can, at minimum, write out entire functions for you?

You're either completely misremembering what IDEs have been able to do up until 3 years ago, or completely misunderstanding what is available now. Even the very basic "autocomplete" functionality of IDEs is meaningfully better now.
Quibbles: leopards don't deliberately refrain from hunting their prey to extinction, humans do deliberately refrain from eating the entire population of cows and pigs and sheep, and leopards aren't motivated a personal grievance against gazelles. (Man, that gazelle is such an ass! I'm gonna eat him.)

Then there's the ethics bit, which goes like:

* We should not say animals are "only animals" and use that as a reason to eat them, that would be unethical,

* Furthermore, we should not hold them to the same ethical standards, and put the predators in prison and try to reform them. That would be ridiculous because they're only animals.

But you don't seem to be saying that anyway, if subsistence hunters are OK. If the "industrial scale" is the main point, that looks like a solid argument - except why focus on animals? There's also tree plantations, mines, cities, and anything else that isn't sitting in the jungle doing craftwork.
Not only progressives are calling it fascism or proto-fascism, do you understand the steps fascism takes to fully take hold? Don't you see any parallels? Have you read any books on the subject?

It seems like you get butthurt from reading people calling moves very similar to fascism done by politicians you support, fascism takes many flavours, Italian fascism was different from German fascism. The way it's going the past month looks like to be shaping an American flavour of fascism.

There's no watering down, you are seeing with your own eyes a movement happening where the leader of the executive is attempting to snatch power, it never happens at once, it's always through salami slicing. What will be the breaking point for you, specifically? What signs do you expect so it can be called fascism?

You are all around this forum whining about "progressives" trying to heed a call about a dark path being traced. You never seem to acknowledge there are very worrying moves happening, for some reason you do not want to hear it, you want to shut off the discussion at every turn by using progressives as a slur, and anything said by that out-group as wrong or hysterical a priori. Can't you see how stupid it is? You are always attempting to throw a wrench into these discussions with vitriol, as a non-American I really ask you to inform and educate yourself better, to learn about the process of fascism before coming with knee-jerk reactions because you don't like "progressives".

Go read "Hitler's Beneficiaries", read any book on historical recounts of the process of fascism unravelling from the 1920s to the 1930s, you are behaving exactly as the citizens enabling Mussolini and Hitler. American Fascism will not be Nazi or Italia Fascista, it has its own shape and form (such as not being anti-semitic, completely different to Nazis) but even though the topography differs, the core principles are pretty much the same.

Don't be an enabler, you won't like to be on the wrong side of history.

Try Scala with an Ammonite script like https://ammonite.io/#ScalaScripts . The JVM ecosystem does dependencies right, there's no need to "pin" in the first place because dependency resolution is deterministic to start with.
