Boots on the ground. Shoulder launched weapons and drones. Trucks and apc’s. Ukraine has shown that the traditional “large weapons” on land and sea are perhaps not as significant as before. Oh, and artillery. And lots of ammo.

This should be aimed at European production as much as possible so as to stimulate their economies and reduce the chances of Trojans in the weaponry. Unfortunately, Ukraine (as they said ) proves the value of nucs.

Is this really the action/messaging pattern that Next, Be and then Apple and probably others used about 30 years ago, or did I miss something here.

It was useful in a way but basically evolved into interface-based controller patterns due to the needed complexities and the whish to keep the basic underlying design pattern. So I'd expect to see lots of enhanvement requests once that box was opened :)

There was an early Java UI toolkit by some browser vendor (IFC by Netscape, probably) that allowed to string action elements together like that.

Sure, that's a great clarification though maybr a bit of an implementation detail in this context.

Functionally my argument stands in this context - just because we can see one stream of LLM responses responding to the primary response stream says nothing of reasoning or what is going on internally in the reasoning layer.
Right. I took the article to mean they were extinct before then. I did not know that they had ever lived there.

They got laid off in 2014. MS relies more on insiders, early update roll outs, automated testing.

I'm still on Windows 10 so can't comment on the state of 11, but I feel like I see a good number of headlines about botched updates. The recent 24h2 screwed up users that had Ubisoft software installed and caused them to pause roll out.

In October an update caused systems to get into a bluescreen loop requiring a rollback.

The fact that they're pushing people to 11 this year and stopping 10, when 11 is still having "teething" issues is not good.
One cute thing there is that the insane people (and vampires) have immediately inconsistent beliefs.

For example, they believe "the sky is red", "the sky is yellow", "the sky is green"...

Also, they believe "I am sane" but also "I am insane and 1+1=3". (Or "George Washington is dead" but also "George Washington is still alive and 1+1=3".)

I don't think Smullyan ever had the insane people try to reason from their infinite store of false beliefs (as opposed to just knowing individual isolated false assertions). That could have made the puzzles much more confusing because they might conclude true beliefs as well as false ones, although maybe they also always get immediately confused about the results of their reasoning process and invert it?

Like, insane humans in the Transylvania puzzles believe "I am sane" but they also believe "I am insane and 1+1=3"; if they could perform the valid logical inference from the conjunct they could also then conclude "I am insane" alongside "I am sane". This would make the puzzles less interesting, because then insane humans could assert anything!
It is a somewhat though provoking question for me where you LLM's fall in automata theory? Are they non-deterministic finite automatons which would make regex's a cousin? Or does it require pushdown automata levels of capability?
Great to see. AlphaGo inspired me so much, right as I was taking ML courses in college.

Yes, if you use googles products to block googles products you have to trust google.

My main point is that the extension itself does not load GA, which the parent seemed to say. It can also be used for other fingerprinting since it is a variable accessible by other scripts.
It's not a studio apartment though. The book takes place in some kind of arts center:

Christianity has an entire pantheon, and always has. It's replete with angels and demons, even a Zoroastrian-like evil deity not to be worshipped. Multitudes of saints in most traditions.

For that matter, they can't even all agree on the name of their primary deity, and I think one might be forgiven if they were to confuse the many names as not "many names of a single deity", but "many names for many deities".

Slightly related: does anyone do eye “exercises”? As in, for 5 minutes, move the eyes all around in a 360 degrees fashion, alternating with left to right (and right to left) movements. I use the computer many hours per day and that means my eyes are usually fixed at a 27 inch monitor for hours. I think the exercises are “strengthening” my eyes muscles… not sure if true though.

This is exactly what I think the danger of bad philosophy leads to, people confusedly believing they have a claim to control people just for existing. The right to pursue life do not require an automatic claim to control the life of others merely for existing. The "right" to a certain quality of life does, however imply a belief that it must be provided by some means.

> Connect to a node that processes a million dollars worth of transactions per day

Your solution is to centralized transactions on a few large payment processor nodes?

The core problem of LN remains, which is that in order to operate a LN node you must keep it always online or risk having your coins stolen. The entire point of creating a L2 network in the first place was because Bitcoin Core decided that scaling the base layer with larger blocks would harm decentralization by making it more difficult to operate a Bitcoin node. Well anyone who has ever operated a server can tell you that maintaining near 100% uptime is a much much higher technical bar than buying a larger hard drive.

The alternative for LN users if they don't want to operate their own LN node is to give up custody of their coins to someone who does operate a node, but this goes against the core premise of cryptocurrencies.
> "Would you mind explaining how I might do a full audit of the total Monero supply using range proofs?"

You’re assuming that auditability prevents fraud. But let’s be real—Bitcoin’s transparency didn’t stop Mt. Gox, QuadrigaCX, or FTX from losing billions. It didn’t prevent wash trading, exchange manipulation, or fractional reserves.

The only entities that have truly benefited from Bitcoin’s transparency?
Government agencies (who use chain analysis to track transactions).
Surveillance firms (who monetize the data).

Monero’s cryptographic approach ensures users can verify the supply without exposing transaction details. That’s privacy done right. You don’t need the entire world to verify a global balance sheet—just a mechanism to ensure nobody is inflating the supply. Bitcoiners accept this principle for Lightning, but somehow reject it when Monero applies it natively.

> "Bitcoin is optimized for storing large amounts of value over long durations. The transaction fees are independent of size, and it has a capped supply with a predefined issuance curve."

A store of value is only as good as its security model.

Bitcoin’s security relies on mining incentives, which depend on:
Block rewards (shrinking over time)
Transaction fees (which must rise dramatically to compensate)

If mining incentives collapse, what happens? Attackers buy up cheap hashrate and reorganize the chain. If that happens, Bitcoin’s “store of value” narrative dies instantly. The argument that “fees will just rise” assumes demand remains constant, but history shows that rising fees reduce adoption.

> "The difference between gold and Bitcoin is that gold doesn’t require a constant value transfer to miners (in the form of inflation or fees) in order to be secure, gold can just sit in a vault."

Gold doesn’t have an ongoing security budget, but it also isn’t programmable money. The analogy breaks down the moment you realize Bitcoin needs continuous incentives for miners to secure the network. Bitcoin's security becomes fragile if transaction fees alone don’t sustain mining, especially in a state-level attack scenario.

> "If more people use Bitcoin, the fees go up, making self-custody impractical. But that doesn’t matter—Bitcoin will still win as a savings tool for the wealthy, corporations, and countries."

What was the point if Bitcoin’s final form is just a savings tool for the rich? If most users can’t afford on-chain transactions and have to rely on intermediaries, we’ve just recreated the banking system with extra steps. And since Bitcoin’s ledger is public forever, it’s not just a savings tool—it’s a perfect surveillance database.

Will Bitcoin actually stay decentralized and usable? Or is it just becoming the world’s best compliance-friendly, trackable savings account?

Because right now, the trend isn’t looking great.
To follow your analogy. Your employer changes the terms, you refuse. Then a judge jails you for non payment of child support. What would be insane is if you turn around and blame the employer for going to jail. It wasn't the employer that put you in jail, they just helped keep you out of it for awhile but then decided they weren't happy with the continued arrangement.
I remembered that Smullyan usually handles this by having an outsider introduce the rules, rather than by having an islander (etc.) who is subject to the rules try to explain them.

In the movie the goblins themselves are explaining their own behavior, which is not very helpful if you take them fully literally.
I'm nearsighted with a slight bit of astigmatism. (-6 or so). I got progressive lenses the last time around at the optician. I hated the whole process; it was desperate and high-pressure sales. I hate the progressive lenses because using them requires tilting your head at awkward angles. I hate that the near-sighted prescriptions are regulated as much as they are.

I ended up self-serving at eyebuydirect.com. For the price of the highway robbery at the local optician I got 6 pairs of reasonable quality frames with regular lenses stepping along a range I guessed I need for computer work. And I couldn't be happier, even though I ignored the astigmatism bit. It's possible there is a bit of that engineer DIY itch that got scratched in the process as well :-)

Anecdotally related, but, during Covid and remote work I went to an optometrist around age 35 after I noticed my distance vision was blurry, especially at night after working inside all day.

They told me "you have 20/20 vision, your vision is completely fine, you don't need glasses!" But, I responded, my vision is definitely blurry. They politely told me to stop wasting their time.

Dissatisfied, I went to another optometrist, and paid closer attention to the whole process. After some discussion with the doctor, we arrived at the conclusion - I've had essentially 20/7 vision my entire life, and now in certain circumstances my vision has degraded to 20/20!

They gave me a prescription and now I am perfectly happy having laser-sharp vision again when I want it.

I was unable to find a specific price for the model you linked in my few seconds of looking but these devices generally run in the $10,000 USD range, so I don’t think it’s achieved the “if you just want to buy it” territory yet.
very nice concept - I have so far wondered why MIDI devices are not used more for typical user interactions.

That being said, I suggest to give real-world examples of what this software is capable of doing - and also state what is not (yet?) possible.

e. g.:

I own DJ controllers, Pioneer DDJ-SB2 and Reloop Ready. Can these be used with IEMidi?

Using my DJ controllers, for what can I use its inputs? Can I assign keyboard buttons (e. g. letters) mouse buttons, complex macros (copy and paste)? Can I use the jogwheels for stuff such as scrolling back and forth in video players, video editors, SDR radio frequency tuning?

Is it possible to leverage my DJ controller's outputs? e. g. the volume indicators on the Pioneer device or the multicolor LEDs below Reloop's beatpad buttons?

Also a filmed video would be great showing such kinds of interactions.

Also look at a doctor specializing in small prisms. Sometimes your eyes don't perfectly align at their resting state so one eye is constantly constantly using muscles to pull it centered. For me, that means when I get tired and those small muscles can't keep up, I get headaches and it gets worse. Neurovisual places can give very tiny prism additions so your eyes don't have to move but the light is "shifted" over.

Consider that any libraries you load (ReactJS, etc) already use JS built into the browser anyways. So creating a project like this will be WAY more understandable and easy to reason about.

After you can load up on any libraries you need, but understanding the basics is key.

Sure some devs may split hairs over the precise semantics, but for the market at large, the difference is understood.
