Ukraine doesn't consume Russian LNG. As of January 2025, the LNG transitting Ukraine for Russia has stopped because Ukraine refused to renew the deal.

No, Ukraine is not in a position to reclaim significant ground. The state of the war is such that any offensive action is ruinously expensive, and while Russia is willing to pay that price, the fact that they're shipping North Koreans in to pay that cost rather than generally mobilize speaks volumes about the state they're in. Interest rates are at 21%; food inflation at 30%; unemployment at 2%, which indicates a severe labour shortage. They're destroying their own economy to grab just a few more feet before it unravels at home.

Meanwhile, Rheinmetall is launching joint ventures and building factories in Ukraine because they have the most warfighting experience of anyone right now and are leading the world in drone combat. Ukraine is still not conscripting anyone under 25, which is a large pool of recruits they've held in reserve. And after today, Europe is making a conspicuous show up increasing spending and standing behind Ukraine.

They can't kick Russia out, but they can certainly hold on longer than Russia with the ongoing support of Europe, and the way Zelensky was treated today has been a huge morale boost for standing firm.

> Who didn’t like that system

Most of the world didn’t like that system, along with most american liberals until five minutes ago. We even made movies mocking it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_America:_World_Police.

Eisenhower thought that system should be temporary, and Jimmy Carter took pride that an american bomb was never dropped anywhere during his term.

Our foreign policy has been stuck in a doom loop of thinking that everything is like World War II for 70 years now. And whatever benefits we might have gained can’t possibly offset what we lost fighting pointless war after pointless war: Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. We have spent trillions of dollars to make the world free for trade that has hollowed out the economy and enriched globalists.

That’s not even counting all the millions of people we have killed in the process of our liberal democracy jihad.
I married my wife shortly before she started med school.

Scores are basically the entire name of the game. Sure you’re not hired into your attending job based on scores, but med school and residency are largely based on scores.
Wouldn't this be a standing order at any time?
no, i specifically referenced what state department lawyers have determined around the existing agreement with the ukraine: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/05_tril...

a security guarantee necessitates a response adequate to maintain territorial integrity. i.e. in the current scenario we'd be obligated to send troops to stop the war of attrition and reverse the russian advance (which has continued since last year, if slowly.) that is precisely what zelensky wants. unfortunately for him, i don't value the ukraine enough to condemn my friends to go bleed out in an eastern european border state.

no repayment was demanded when the aid was given, true. however, the US changes leadership, and therefore policy, on a semi-regular basis. the condition of future aid is that past and future aid should be repaid to some extent, in some manner, at some point. rather than demanding cash or structuring a loan, the US proposed to find something else that would benefit both sides. implying that hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer dollars, at a time when boomer welfare is already bleeding the country dry, is equivalent to a Christmas gift is ridiculous. i think it was De Gaulle who said countries don't have friends, they have interests; foreign aid is a strategic tool and that alone, because the U.S. federal government is not a charitable organization.

you say "that's not how treaties work"; I say undeveloped nations have a long, long history of taking and later failing to repay loans from America or proxy organizations such as the IMF. if you're suggesting we restructure this as a loan, that seems like a monumentally poor investment, not to mention draining cash from a nation trying to rebuild is a similarly poor idea.

where did i say i approved of Musk's actions? i believe trump complemented zelensky's outfit today. i don't really care about what trump thinks of zelensky, musk, or anyone else's choice of presentation. i am not donald trump. i am saying i think it is disrespectful, doubly so given that he came calling with his hand out, again.
Yes, I would bet highly against that.

The US is not "aligned against the West". The US is simply breaking from the ideology it's had since WW2 that it's in the US' best interest to get involved in every international conflict in the world.

You'd think that the left would be ecstatic about that considering how much it's criticized US involvement in other countries conflicts, but here we are - it's the left that is trashing the US for not wanting to get involved.
I could see something like that. I use Drafts and I’m sure I could wire them together somehow.
Shooting down planes is, and that's covered by the no fly zone you're talking about.
"Proper behavior"... You've defined this term as the precise behavior of the technology that Flutter aims to supplant.

Indeed, Flutter will never do everything "properly". But that's not its selling point. It doesn't need to, as long as the number of users reached from a multi-platform release outweighs the users lost because they were offended by a missing native feature. (Assuming you're not some massive company developing a parallel app for each platform)
EU has in fact given more than the US.

Also it should probably be "don't give a rats ass anymore"
If we're going down the conspiracy theory route, is it not equally plausible that this was a setup by Zelinsky?
I think the question most others in Europe are concerned about is "How far west does Russia stop?", and given that they held Berlin only about 35 years ago, and they're openly talking about Paris on state TV, the answer is "they don't, unless we stop them in Ukraine already". That whole perspective makes that question somewhat redundant and too narrow in scope given all the context around it.
Yeah I mean I said that a long long time back maybe 3 years back if you go back to my comments that we will never ever reach AGI with brute force.
I hear you but (to the best of my memory) I looked pretty carefully at this discussion before merging it into the other one, and the comments here weren't focused on this specific aspect—rather, they were generically about the overall story (FF terms of use), as one would expect.
You are not crazy.

I recommend you look up Eric Sadin's "The Injuctive Turn of Technology".

It provides a succinct (and disconcertingly accurate) framework for looking at the trajectory of technology vis-a-vis ordinary people / end-users.

They'd pull the same stunt that they did for Trump. If Trump had been convicted for the Jan 6th riot, that would've disqualified him from becoming president. So SCOTUS dragged out the appeal that reached them. Then their decision made it ridiculously burdensome to continue. If Musk were nominated as vice president and somebody sued, SCOTUS could drag out that case past the end of the term. Then they'd drop it as moot.
At that point what is the point of a prescription anyway?

> But it also feels like a lot of VCs

They only need to last until the exit (potentially next round).

i.e. it doesn't matter as long as they find someone else to dump it to (for profit).
> I’ll define troubleshooting as systematically determining the cause of unwanted behaviour in a system, and fixing it.

Or debugging and understanding the reason why a system isn’t behaving as expected. And pinpointing the part of the code that causes the behaviour that is not desired.

In another field—In IT Service Management (ITSM)—there is the distinction between incidents and problems. If you see many incidents coming in that are related, you sit down and start doing a root-cause analysis, basically a form of debugging. Or troubleshooting.

So yes, this is a skill that is timeless.
You overestimate the intelligence of venture capital funds. One look at most of these popular VC funds like A16z and Sequoia and you will see how little they really know.
> Marc Andreesen didn't support Trump until AFTER the Biden administration bureaucrats met with him and told him they would ensure that they would only allow a small handful of foundation AI companies that they tightly regulated to exist. He was so horrified that he switched over.

a16z investments are mostly Cryptos and some AIs.

Andreesen loves Crypto and he hates that it's being regulated like mad (cause tons of scamming going on).
the problem is something that has gone from working 10% of the time to working 50% of the time still requires me to thoroughly review everything it does 100% of the time. hence my comment about "the intern problem".
He is probably referring to "responsible AI" bullshit (i.e. censorship and refusing to answer questions).
Those same people could hold up in a compound today. But they like the nice things, restaurants, social events, football games etc. They better start liking the locked down life now, because if things go bad their 20 security detail won’t protect them later.
even the UK surely wouldn't risk the horrible PR of extraditing someone from a third nation because a citizen of a completely different country didn't follow their asinine laws. and were the person in question an American citizen, it'd be a massively foolish move for both the UK and whichever nation worked with her.
Europe's reaction was telling: all (except Orban, of course) publicly expressed their support for Zelensky. The silver lining is that it might galvanize Europe to be more united, which would be a good thing.

But for anyone holding on to the idea that America is the "leader of the free world", that is most definitely no longer the case. For the EU foreign minister to state "we need a new leader" is a major shift.

This is one of those events that will be in the history books, to be sure.

NATO is an alliance of 32 democracies and from time to time some of those will vote in unfortunate leaders. I guess the remainder will have to carry on. I doubt the US will remain this way after the next election.
Please tell us why WW2 started and how that is related.
This was a book written by a British about continental Europe. I don't think it holds much value to America. It definitely would impact Europe, Britain, the ME, and North Africa. But honestly it will not have much of an impact on America in terms of our security. There will be impacts to global markets but none that would destroy or really hammer ours. This was written from the view point of European power, which hasn't existed since the end of WW2.
Troubleshooting is one of my main comparative advantages - I'm better at it than I am at programming and I enjoy it more. It's also a relatively independent skill, not everyone is good at it or likes it. It reminds me of the lateral thinking puzzles I did as a kid where you had to ask questions to uncover whatever the weird situation was. You have to question your assumptions - think about how you might be wrong, something I like to do in general anyway.

There's a certain way of reasoning about the problem and thinking about what it might be with limited information in a systemic way. It's also a bit broader than debugging - you can do a lot of troubleshooting (sometimes faster and more effectively) by doing things other than reading the code.

It's also been somewhat of a career advantage because it seems to be both more uncommon than standard dev for someone to be really good at and something that most people dislike (while it's my favorite thing to do). It also overlaps a lot with other more general types of problem solving.

Anyway - a lot of the article resonates with how I think about it too.
It's mind blowing to me to see the left being the war mongers now. That used to be the mantle of the right, but hey, here we are.

The arguments I see for the US staying involved are the same hand wavy ones used in Vietnam - "better to fight them over in Asia then in America". It was a weak argument then, and it's a weak argument now.

The people that helped fan the flames of this war don't give one crap about Ukraine. What they care about is the neocon policy of "do anything to keep America's rival weak". So funding a war that Ukraine pays the price for works just fine.

The truth is that the war is going to end eventually and it's not going to be Russia capitulating. So rather than a hundred thousand more dead might as well find a solution.

Seems like a pretty rationale decision to me.
loss of confidence? lol what?
Planes stopped flying over Ukrainian-held territory only a few weeks into the invasion. Since then, they've mainly launched glide bombs from far away, due to the high risk of being shot down if they penetrated Ukrainian airspace.

There's nothing preventing Ukraine's allies from setting up air defenses and fighter patrols to shoot down drones and missiles. A number of countries did just that when Iran launched a missile attack on Israel last year.
Sure is a lot of "Towards..." in titles lately. That tells me what wasn't accomplished rather than what you did.

I guess nobody cares about efficiency in their model car engine, so it doesn't matter if you need to refuel every 5-10 minutes. But that would be a problem for pretty much any other use case.

> Now, if SS or Medicaid is gutted... that will be the turning point for this admin.

They are in the process of being gutted ... but Trump, Musk and the right wing media will spin it as being Biden's fault, and those same people will accept it as gospel truth.
Life expectancy of leaders (especially autocrats) is below average for obvious reasons.
"Graphic depictions of violence" also covers every 18+ movie or TV show. So I guess streaming Underbelly would also be against such a policy.

That's a bad idea, and a badly formed policy. The legal team and the marketing team need to talk things over here, a wee bit more.

Russia doesn't even have one of the 10 largest economies in the world, has shown its military to be made up of the rotting corpses of cold war technology, and (outside of the cities near europe) is a backwards shithole. I can't even keep track of how many military leaders have been thrown out of windows.

Other than land what, exactly, makes them a useful ally for the future? A willingness to throw bodies into a meat grinder?

That's the real kicker for me about all of this - Russia is weak. Trump is bowing down to a loser.
the way I read what you wrote, it seems like you think Zelensky's argument is bad and purely emotionally motivated, but the fact that Putin/Russia has broken agreements and ceasefires is a very valid concern, isn't it?

if the conference had ended without argument but behind the scenes Trump/Vance were setting up negotiations that go against Ukraine's interest, that would not have been a "win" for Zelensky other than in terms of a contest of popularity - but only the popularity among westerners who have no real personal stake in the conflict. it's Ukrainians and Russians who are dying on the front lines.

As long as there are more people needing housing than housing, prices will be high. California has such a shortage, and the people side of the equation is going up faster than housing is constructed. Making the problem worse over time.

A land value tax could indeed help with housing costs - but that's because it encourages development. It is the construction that makes the really big difference here.
He was pretty wishy washy and would never say he'd like Ukraine to win and get their land back. The UK generally led at the start sending missiles and tanks and the Biden was embarrassed into matching it.

Duuuuuude, TIT is the temperature after combustion, not compression. Adiabatic compression isn't even close to the main contributor to TIT--heat input from burning fuel is. Also you may be confusing turbofans and turboshafts--helicopters have torque limits (not a helo guy, but my understanding is this is a gearbox or masthead structural limit rather than an engine limit), but if your turbofan can't hit RPM limits on the ground on a cool day you should seriously consider bringing it back for maintenance instead of going flying.
I'd argue war is as common now as in the times of Machiavelli or Sun Tzu. Even after WW2 and only considering US boots on the ground, how many military conflicts have there been?

There are five major ones:

Korean War (1950-1953)
Vietnam War (1955-1975)
Persian Gulf War (1990-1991)
War in Afghanistan (2001-2021)
Iraq War (2003-2011)

If you count proxy wars, it wouldn't be such a stretch to say we've been fighting almost continuously since we dropped the bomb.

100% this. If our product does something unexpected, finding out why is top priority. It might be that everything’s fine and this is just a rare edge case where this is the correct behaviour. It might be a silly display bug. Or it might be the first clue about a serious underlying issue.
You can argue that the deal presented to Ukraine was one that benefits America (access to mineral rights in exchange for nothing -- not even a guarantee of support) and therefore a GoodThingTM from that perspective. And if this conversation had been behind closed doors, that _might_ have been okay (though still damaging to the US long-term, IMO). But there's no way to argue that Trump and Vance's behavior was not highly damaging to America. But it was a shit deal for Ukraine--and the early drafts and pressure to sign by Trump's envoy were shockingly bad, no president would sign something like that. So Z came to negotiate and press his case, which being a country that's been resisting an invasion for the past years, he certainly is entitled to do.

Z did _not_ ask for US troops in the Ukraine[0]. He's smart enough to know that will never happen. But he does want continued military support, which if the US were still supporting democracies and resisting authoritarianism (which it's supposed to be doing, though yes, it has a long history of doing the opposite), it would do. Instead, Trump comes off like Don Corleone: pay up or you're sleeping with the fishes. That's what the world will remember.
