Yeah, personally, I mostly agree with your assessment as well.

The United States' view on strategy has always had a tension between the maritime power view and the continental power view.

For a maritime power (the US approach we've seen most of recently since WWII ), it's practically a no-brainer to invest heavily in the Ukraine conflict. It allows the US to degrade a rival's military abilities at low cost; it maintains the balance of power in Europe without direct US troop involvement; and it upholds the norms against territorial conquest that benefit maritime powers.

If the US is seeing a resurgence of isolationist/continental thinking, then you get different arguments: The conflict is distant from US territorial interests; border security and domestic concerns become more pressing; and regional conflicts elsewhere become mostly just distractions.

Strong 'Putin won't invade Ukraine' 2022 vibes. Russia will stop with what they took in Georgia. Sorry, I mean they will stop with Crimea. Sorry, I mean they will stop with what they took in eastern Ukraine (plus we also have to give them Kherson). But yes, through history including with Russia, appeasing and giving land ends any future land grabs.

Putin has explicitly stated he's getting the USSR back together. He was worked in the eastern Germany KGB. His actions/current proof leans to he wants it all back. Zero leans to he doesn't. You argue you don't think he could take it. Again, that has nothing to do with it. The question is will he try/does he intend to, and everything points to yes. The same people said 'He won't invade Ukraine, he can't' that are now saying 'He won't try to take more, he can't'.

OP point is that the second dev isn’t being billed as junior though and is in fact being billed as a senior, despite obviously not being one. It’s Accenture that’s making the profit here, by billing for 2 seniors but only supplying 1 (actually probably 0 as I bet the “good” dev isn’t a senior either and is closer to mid-level)

I can see how my comment above is snarky. Apologies for that. I am not able to edit it (the option doesn’t appear).

But I’m surprised about the “ideological/nationalistic flamewar comments” part. A lot of current issues in the news and on HN are political and especially geopolitical. Tariffs, Nvidia chips, DOGE, Ukraine/Russia war, for example. So there will be lots of comments that are ideological or nationalistic because that’s what is at the core of these issues. I guess what I’m asking is - are substantive politely worded comments that are still “ideological” or “nationalistic” (if I am using these words the same way) allowed?

Another thought: it looks like these types of stories have stopped being removed due to flags (like the DOGE ones), and with that change I see lots of comments in those discussions that I would consider tedious or just ideological (to me anyways). But they seem to allowed to stand because they’re the popular view on HN - maybe they don’t get downvoted or flagged as much so they don’t get attention from mods. Do you think the typical flagging and voting patterns result in more moderation on the less popular views on HN?

Losing Taiwan is an option, and that's exactly the problem. It's not American territory, and China knows they can force America's hand by dominating their navy. If you can neutralize America's will to fight with DF-21s from standoff range, you can bring them to the table for negotiations. American troops have better things to die for than the supply chain of the iPhone 17.

To be honest this is a really immature depiction of the conflict, especially for a site like HN. China has demonstrated their willingness and capability to stage a credible naval assault, if you're still skeptical then I think you're blinded by jingoist ambition. Taiwan is a long ways from home, America can't deter China just with their surface fleet.

This doesn't track my experience. I have Ewing's Sarcoma, and my first regimen involved 5 agents: Doxorubicin, Vincristine, Cytoxan, Ifofsfomide, and Etoposide. This [1] appears to be the same plan I used. When that failed, I had a second regimen with Vincristine, Irinotecan, and Temozolomide. After that failed, I had Irinotecan and Trabectidin, followed by Doxil, followed by, Cytoxan and Topotecan, followed by high dose Ifofsfomide. So only two of the treatments I received were single agent, but maybe it depends on the cancer.

Writing an LLM from scratch, part 8 – trainable self-attention
> They prefer mature, well-designed, and reliable products because it's a matter of life and death - and development takes years.

First, the history of chip design and manufacturing is the history of modern weapons design[0]. As long as chips have existed we've been sticking them in brand spanking new weapons systems precisely because it's a matter of life and death. Chip makers of all kinds live and die by defense contracts.

"Because it's a matter of life and death" as a roadblock only makes sense if you don't think about it at all. If I offload some of my SIGINT processing to my brand new 3nm nodes and they don't work, won't my scheduler just mark them bad and reallocate the work back to the machines I had before? If my first shipment of 3nm drone chips doesn't deliver as promised, I've still got my existing inventory of 5nm drones and plenty of suppliers. You balance the inherent riskiness of new technology via redundancy, not avoidance.

> A 2025 tank isn't going to use chips made using TSMC's cutting-edge 3nm node.

No shit. But 2025 servers can, so can 2025 drones, so can 2025 bombs, so can 2025 satellites. Do you think whoever figures out how to communicate via quantum entanglement[1] is going to just not do it because "it's a matter of life and death"? Hell no. They're going to use it to run circles around their enemies while it's working, and they'll fall back to older communication channels when it isn't working.

I love the concept, and it's super timely of course (or about time, depending on your perspective).

I was trying to find your website to get a better understanding of it all, is this it? https://www.enhancedradar.com

If so, for most people it would be super helpful if you could put together something that explains this a bit better, with visuals, videos, testimonials, etc. I work on similar challenges in a completely different problem domain, and it takes quite a bit of material / explaining to really show what we do / what's possible, and make it feel less abstract.

> your company got offshored devs to help with deadlines, but you've finished all your work for the sprint...? that sounds ... incongruous.

Yeah like I said, I wasn't really involved in the decision making here and was a bit surprised contractors were brought on as I didn't feel we were behind or anything. I'm inclined to agree with you that there is some hidden politics at play here that I am not witness to, e.g., to use their allocated budget that year or it might be slashed the next year.

> she does sound terrified. and the human part of me would absolutely struggle with this. but you are not responsible for her or her livelihood. you're responsible for you and yours (and the people around you depending on your position/role).

This is the part I'm struggling with. Her lack of performance doesn't impact me much for now (apart from when the good dev goes on holiday and I get pinged instead) so it feels like i'm needlessly risking someone's livelihood for little personal gain.

This is so pretty. I’ve been playing with a used Ergodox and this is so close to what I feel like I’d build if I made my own from scratch. The main difference is that each half is a 6x5 grid instead of 7x5, and me being fine with a wired keyboard.

Postgresql was a default install. The only sqlite3 customisation was: "PRAGMA main.journal_mode = WAL". In particular I suspect people are asking whether I used exclusive mode or unsafe writes for Sqlite3. The answer is no.

Apart from that, everything was done in "reasonable sized transactions", with the same size being used for both Postgresql and Sqlite3. Necessarily so, because I ran the same SQL statements over both. For single row fetches or updates the transaction was a single row. When I was testing how fast I could update a batch of 10 rows, all 10 were done in a single transaction. (Aside: the transaction overhead far outweighed the cost of one statement. Updating 100 rows only took twice the time of updating 1.)

When creating the database of 100,000,000 rows, they were inserted in transactions of 10,000 rows. I was emulating how our system inserts records into this 100,000,000 row table. It uses an almost ascending primary key, which makes life easier for the underlying b-tree. I've found emulating that sort of thing is important for realistic benchmarks. That's because on this particular table the primary key is (current-unix-time, 32-bit-random-int). current-unix-time was monotonically increasing, but in any given second some 100 randomly ordered 32-bit-random-int's were used. From memory Sqlite3 inserted 100k records per second, Postgresql some number less than that. But don't pay much attention to the absolute numbers, as it was on spinning rust while the real system was doing other things (again because the real system had the same constraints). Only my Macbook with NVME it was several times faster in absolute terms, but Sqlite3 and Postgresql maintained their relative positions.

How sensitive of a sensor array is necessary to trilaterate Remote ID signals and birds for aircraft collision avoidance?

A Multispectral sensor array (standard) would probably be most robust.

> epoll is threaded, not multiprocess

epoll is orthogonal to threads. It _can_ be used in a multithreaded program, but it doesn't have to be. It may very well be implemented in terms of kernel threads, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about user-space threads.

Mostly. ARM actually has instructions that allow a full 64-bit shift then add.

But I checked the Cortex A78 optimisation manual. They take 1 cycle if the shift is 4 or less and 2 cycles in other cases.
It’s not necessarily only for exceptional scenarios, but instead it is an exception to the normal return of a value. The usage where the return is always by exception (as in the n-queens example) is itself an exception ;). I do think it’s useful to mark one (return) type as the primary/normal/good case and other types as secondary/auxiliary/error cases, and have the latter auto-escalate independently.
"The tower cleared JetBlue 1554 to depart on Runway 04, but simultaneously a ground controller on a different frequency cleared a Southwest jet to cross that same runway, putting them on a collision course. Controllers noticed the conflict unfolding and jumped in to yell at both aircraft to stop, avoiding a collision with about 8 seconds to spare "

As a regular passenger and for someone with a little bit of drone autonomy experience, the fact that this is possible sounds insane to me. I just assumed there was something blocking the controllers from putting two flights on the same pathway (like little planes on a board?).

My main question is, how does the "noticing" work now? What did the Controllers see that alerted them to what was unfolding?
