> What do you call the illegal coup in 2014? It removed the representation of everyone in Crimea and Donbas right? What about NATO expansionism? The aggressor isn’t very clear. I would argue that the 2014 coup and efforts to suppress Russian ethnic people in Ukraine was an act of aggression that eventually led to this conflict.

If you dont know what youre talking about please dont bring up ridiculous bits of propaganda.

The only illegal coups in Ukraine were in Crimea where unmarked Russian soldiers surronded the regional parliament made them appoint a random criminal from a minor party as the leader and hold an undemocratic "referendum" to join russia. No free speech was allowed by many ukranians (of russian, ukranian, tatar, and other ethncities) who opposed the russian coup.

Russian backed criminals and neonazis and scam artists backed by russian soldiers also commited coups in parts of Donbas. Sadly they were unable to vote in elections or speak freely and were basically under control of corrupt warlords in the following years. The rest of Ukraine including most of the Donbas held several fair free elections. In the last presidential election which was fair and free Zelenskyy crushed the incumbent including getting a super majority in the part of Donbas which was still able to particapate in free elections.

Russia could care less about the rights of "ethnic russians". Its killed thousands of them in their assualt on Ukraine (probably a dispraportionate share of civilans they have killed considering where most of the fighting has occured).
There was no effort to "supress" ethnically russian Ukranians. They are a well integrated part of Ukranian society, the commander in chief of the army is an ethnic russian born in Russia who onpy moved to Ukraine in his teens. Also I'm guessing youre under the mistaken impression that most of the Donbas area was ethnically russian when it was actually only about 1/3.

As for NATO expansionism thats another bit of propaganda. There was never an agreement to not include parts of eastern europe in nato(former soviet leader Gorbachov hinself admitted this in interviews with russian media), countries like Poland begged to be let in and wore down existing nato members. Most imporantly Ukraine was not seeking to join nato in 2013/2014 before russia invaded and everyone knew there was no chance of them getting in in 2014 when russia started the war or 2022 when they expanded it(too many members of nato were opposed). Now after the expansion of the war it seems inevitable.

America has done a lot but Ukranian victory and a russian loss is clearly in Americas best intrest.

Datomic feels like a natural extension of Clojure for storing data—you get no impedance mismatch, you continue working with Clojure's data structures for storing, querying, and writing data instead of dealing with clunky query builders(or SQL strings), and you gain immutability. Sure, you can use any database you like, but then you're playing the same game as every other programming language, ultimately getting less value out of Clojure and making it feel like just another language—at least for applications that require a database.

> Not have to move out of state at 75 because taxes on your home skyrocketed

Taxes don't go up 600% year over year. And if Prop 13 didn't disincentivize new construction, taxes wouldn't skyrocket in the first place.
Disqus requires an account on their system, too.
It also sucks that all the Paradox competitors seemed to have failed so far. The genre really needs some innovation.
I have worked with Google teams as well, and they taught me a fair bit about how to be rigorously skeptical. It takes domain knowledge, statistical knowledge, data, time and the computational resources to challenge them. I've done it, but it took real resources.

That said, it's a useful exercise to figure out the plan of attack. My experience is the "juice" was mainly in "easy true negative" subclasses. They weren't oversampled, but the human brain wouldn't even consider most of that data. Once you ablate those subclasses from the dataset, (which takes a lot of additional labelling effort), you can start challenging their assertions. But it's hard.

And that said I also review a number of articles in that domain, and I haven't seen a group with stronger datasets overall.
That looks reasonable at first glance. Will have to look more carefully.

I do wonder about attack surface / operational complexity though. It syncs to three clouds and there is a postgres database, apparently.

Operating that myself reliably seems hard. I’m not looking for a hobby project and LastPass is the Last cloud hosted e2ee Password manager I will ever trust.

Really good advice.

In my state our state college actually has agreements with number of community colleges where they guarantee transfer once you complete pre-defined number of classes with reasonably good GPA (3.5 I believe). Saves you a TON.

I'm curious to know how to find other scholarships not necessarily advertised by the school. I read the "1000 scholarships" book or whatever it's called, their points weren't very practical, or maybe I didn't look hard enough...

100% for liberal arts colleges. I do not hate liberal arts education, but if you charge so much for education knowing there's very limited number of jobs your graduates will be fighting for, and how low their wages will be, that borders on scam.
Nice! I'm waiting for (/ thinking of building) something similar for #atproto/Bluesky. You could even use OAuth to allow users to add responses inline, which would then also show up in the Bluesky feed (if you wanted), with a UX pretty similar to Disqus.

Mastodon is great, but the "pick a server" step is a pretty hard filter for most users, who just want to sign up for something.

You'd also get to benefit automatically from Bluesky's blocking/moderation tools.
To be clear here, it appears that

deviantbit described the Shawnee as:

flat out thieves

rexpop described the Shawnee as:

genocide survivors [.. that] operate in a landscape that is existentially hostile to them [..] from an immeasurable disadvantage.

and you've now declared calling them "genocide survivors" as "making them out to be pretty terrible people" while casting no judgement on the description as "flat out thieves" ?

Did you reply to the correct comment?
Nuclear Gandhi, as far as I can tell, was actually about Civ I, not Civ II. Gandhi would get to nukes early because India had a tech boost, and he would threaten the player in every diplomatic interaction that his words were backed with nukes. The AI in the early Civ games is pretty aggressive, too, so I assume that if you rejected him too many times, he absolutely would become a big warmonger.

As to the integer underflow, that appears to either be debunked or to be something that Sid Meyer misremembered (IMO both are possible). I don't think you need an integer underflow for Gandhi to go nuclear in an early Civ game, though.
Getting a job at Google is a superficial achievement that won’t fix any self esteem issues.

Good writeup of yet another bug different from all the other bugs.

The Linux kernel isn't really bothered by the difference between threads and processes. Threads are just processes that happen to share an address space, file descriptor table, and thread group ID (what most tools call a PID). I think there are some subtle things related to the thread group ID, but they're subtle. The rest is implemented in glibc.
That looks really interesting, but maybe only useful for mssql? [1]

What is success meant to look like? Many play and enjoy other Civ-style games, as they offer varied experiences and alternative styles of play. If success is just about becoming the biggest game, then that's a fairly narrow view of what entertainment is supposed to be.
I think we should be careful labelling everything an LLM does as stealing.

And I'm not saying there might not be things worth regulating.

Just that 2025 is way too early. The technology is still evolving, we barely know what it can do.

We've not hit the limits yet.

We may end up with another cookie law, or DSA nightmare.

Why should AI regulation apply to small companies with less than X customers or Y revenue.

Maybe it’s propaganda or maybe not. It’s a belief that has been made public by the people doing this so I imagine that its validity will be evident soon enough.

My background is material's science so there might be another meaning physicists use that I'm not familiar with but my very simplified understanding/explanation of Phonons are that they are vibrations within a crystal lattice. These vibrations exists at all temperatures above absolute zero, so I don't think it is accurate to say phonons form due to reduced temperature.
I especially like that they’re still making substantial improvements. It’s quite the contrast to Civ V having game-breaking bugs which were never patched.

I can only speak for my own setup: KeePassXC on multiple devices with a local NextCloud instance for syncing my database.

First and foremost, automate backing up your database. NextCloud also supports versioned files, so if something does go wrong, you can roll-back to a working DB as a last resort.

A good syncing application will not upload files that are currently opened in write mode. This way you cannot upload files mid-write, preventing uploading corrupted DBs. This of course assumes that both KeePassXC and NextCloud are perfect, but even if something breaks there you have your automated backups and previous versions of the database file. I should note that this has never happened to me, but if it were to happen I am safe.

In case you have diverging databases (e.g. server is offline and you add a new account on device 1 and a different account on device 2), NextCloud will create a conflict file which you can merge from the KeePassXC client to resolve the issue. No accounts are lost but it is an additional manual step to get all your changes back into the "main" DB.
I guess it's kind of like assembly where COMMAND foo is like INSTRUCTION foo. Maybe it just clicked for me and I can't think of a syntax I'd prefer for it. Which now has me wondering about modeling syntaxes for other things on it.

The problem with those reports is they still mostly come down to the auditor taking the provider's word for it.

At least where I live, there is strict legislation governing what ISPs can or must collect, and what they do with that information. Offences under that telecommunications interception legislation come with prison sentences, and so there is a strong incentive for individual employees to comply.

For some people, moving that exposure to a VPN provider mitigates their risk. For others, it increases it.

> It is an example of moving the goalposts.

On the contrary. The "AI effect" is an example of attempting to hold others to goalposts that they never agreed to in the first place.

Instead of saying "this is AI and if you don't agree then you're shifting the goalposts" instead try asking others "what future developments would you consider to be AI" and see what sort of answers you get.

I think 1970s medical care would be considerably cheaper today. That's what technology does, makes things cheaper and/or allows people to buy more with their dollar.

I read the comment you refer to, and it does have a lot of useful context. That said (and here I'm quoting a reply to that comment), the commenter claims that Lesné was "not that highly cited", though his main fraudulent paper was cited 2,300 times, making it the fifth most highly cited Alzheimer's paper since 2006. That seems bogus on its face.

Separately, I think it's legitimate for calls for scientific fraudsters to go to jail to rise to the top. There's no contradiction between wanting this, and wanting a more nuanced understanding of the field.

Export or import classification? The first six digits are the same, but the rest vary per country so if you specify the export tariff codes then the one doing the import declaration will still have to do the import classification.

It's the "absolute free speech" unit that does it.
Also worth noting the 50% tariff on Chinese semiconductors (and other tech components). So US companies can’t even get low-priced imports to make their products competitive. We’re stuck with high-priced domestic labor, who are not sufficiently skilled for the work, whose companies can’t fund or complete the work, and aren’t allowed to hire and/or buy foreign. Some American dynamism…
