Depends on the weapons.

Certainly France is competitive when it comes to ships and many expendable munitions, but they aren't selling F-35s and the US is, and so far it seems that the juice is worth the substantial squeeze when it comes to that jet. The race is largely for second, because first place (the Lightning) is so far in front of the pack.
Yeah, I have a real thought: QC is a scam, and you're buying into it. Not much more than that.

If you want to put this to an empirical test, you should buy $10 worth of quantum computing stock and $10 of bitcoin and see which performs better over the next 10 years.

Nor does passion have to be monetized. Too often in life are hobbies and passions forced into the monetization route, which in a lot of people kills the joy, creativity, focus, and spontaneity required to create.
For several reasons, France is uniquely positioned to be the leader of Europe.
Nuclear arms, a lot of nuclear energy, defense industry, food independence. All of this thanks to Charles De Gaulle, who insisted that France must be autonomous in most important domains.

With hindsight, this was extremely important. Without France's nuclear energy and arms, Europe would be in a very very bad position right now.

You get away with so much, it's a terrible adjustment to be 'normal' after that. I still struggle frequently, and have to take a lot of steps not to come off as an arrogant prick. Luckily, I have a fair amount of charisma, and I used to be an attractive young woman, which conceal a lot of social sins, but it's still one hell of an adjustment.

If I'm honest, I never ran into an intellectual wall. I did choose a comparatively 'easier' path, but that was more because I had a wide breadth of interests and choosing something easier meant I'd have more time to indulge my various interests. I was still getting interviews for tenure track positions out of grad school and when I did try to work post-graduate school, my first position was at an Ivy where I was the only one on staff who didn't come from an Ivy League school. (I was too lazy/too absorbed in my own things to do what was required to go to one.)

I ended up disabled in my last semester of graduate school - the 'wall' in my case is my body being unable to accommodate the social/networking demands of an academic or high powered private research career rather than my running into a topic I felt was beyond me. Particularly combined with being on my own in a HCOL area as that lifestyle required: Doing all your life management on your own with no safety net along with running at that high of an intellectual level is near impossible when you have a severe disability. (I have MS.)

I've been 'stuck' intellectually once in my life, and it was the result of a medication we tried for symptom management, and I found the feeling horrifying, if I'm honest. It was the first time I'd run into a problem where I had to sit there and think and still couldn't come up with a way to proceed, versus running into a problem and just being too damn lazy to bother. (Being able to see what I would do to solve the problem is very different from being motiviated to do so.) Apparently, most people feel that way fairly often? It made me way more sympathetic to people who didn't like school or who don't like learning.
You won't want to live anywhere after nukes start flying. Even if your location isn't hit directly, you're dealing with a complete collapse of society as we know it. Not to mention things like nuclear winter.

Russia has ~5500 warheads, so maybe not every square inch but certainly several cities and other locations in each state.
People should use what works best for them but I'd like to respond a bit to the YNAB issues you ran into (not to convince you to switch or anything).

YNAB with Credit Cards was difficult for me, as was envelope-based budgeting (what "give every dollar a job" is called) because I also was used to the typical "set limits on categories and stay within them"-style budgeting (Like Mint, at least Mint way back when it first came out, I haven't touched it in years). YNAB is very different in that it doesn't let you allocate dollars that are not in your bank account. You can't say "$300 for eating out" unless you have $300 in your bank account and YNAB doesn't care that you might have that money available by the time you want to spend it, it forces you to allocate the money you actually have and every time you get paid you allocate it into categories with the long-term goal of getting a month (or months) ahead in your budgeting (not spending the money you made this month on stuff you need in this month).

Credit cards were also hard to wrap my head around. In a debit-only world it all made sense but CC's complicated things for me. I really enjoyed Nick True's videos on Youtube, they helped me with this a lot but a simplified way to think about this is:

* You put $200 in your "groceries" category (aka envelope)

* You go to the store and spend $60 (on eggs I assume?) and pay with your CC

* In YNAB-land you will record that transaction (or it will be auto-imported) and you will assign it to the groceries category but since YNAB knows you spent this on a CC (you always record which account the transaction happened on) it essentially takes $60 out of the "Groceries" envelope and moves it to the "Chase Sapphire" (or whatever you name it) envelope. You set aside the money for your CC purchases at time of purchase and then when the CC bill comes due it's paid out of that "envelope".

In this way YNAB has become a layer on top of all my finances and I care little about how much money is in any given savings/checking account since YNAB tracks everything. I just make sure there is enough to cover CC payments (there always is) or any big transfers I want to make (like moving money to a HYSA).

I've automated as much as I can with YNAB but I do spend 30min-1hr every few weeks (this is not what they recommend, but it works for me) reconciling my accounts. I totally get if people don't want to do that or don't see the value in it. Personally I love knowing where every dollar of mine is and tracking every purchase/transfer.

So now you suggest that we should build peaking nuclear plants in an attempt at covering your previous blunder with pure insanity.

Lazard expects peakers to run at 10-15% capacity factor because you know, how often do we have cold spells in France or whatever other reason causes them to run? A couple of weeks a year at most. Lets say 15%.

Lets calculate what Hinkley Point C costs when running as a peaker. It has a CFD at $170/MWh for 30 years. Lets assume it runs at a 85% capacity factor and that $20/MWh are O&M costs.

153/0.15 + 20 = $1040/MWh

You want to solve the problem by forcing electricity costs on the consumers at double of the peak of the energy crisis.

All because you view the world in nuclear fanclub fantasy land glasses.

what if I want my kid to be degenerate gambler at an early age (apparently this is all cool the USA, I mean gambling...) but don't want her to poison her brain with arcade games?

the answer here of course is very simple, you teach your kid what she is or isn't allowed to do "online" just like you do IRL. and you verify by either sharing the account so you can see what is being installed and/or checking the device...

parenting ain't that complicated...
> This is the exact line of thinking that Hitler used to justify WW2.

Hitlers literal claim was that Germany needs a living space, that Germans do not fit into German. Plus he claimed that the world is a war of races. Like, these were his literal justications.
Yeah the US States claim that the money goes to Education yet somehow ends up in the general slush fund in most cases.
It would be nice to have both though right? Ideally I want an active maintained fork by a group of security minded individuals that are known.
Half of your country actively rallies on the idea of sending back Chinese, Indians, Mexicans and etc. I think you just live in a bubble or educated circles where that’s bot tolerated, but that’s not the experience of every single immigrant.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quis_custodiet_ipsos_custode...

excerpt of the first few paragraphs, sorry about any wrong formatting, links becoming plain text, etc.
just pasted it as is:

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase found in the Satires (Satire VI, lines 347–348), a work of the 1st–2nd century Roman poet Juvenal. It may be translated as "Who will guard the guards themselves?" or "Who will watch the watchmen?".

The original context deals with the problem of ensuring marital fidelity, though the phrase is now commonly used more generally to refer to the problem of controlling the actions of persons in positions of power, an issue discussed by Plato in the Republic.[citation needed] It is not clear whether the phrase was written by Juvenal, or whether the passage in which it appears was interpolated into his works.
Original context
edit

The phrase, as it is normally quoted in Latin, comes from the Satires of Juvenal, the 1st–2nd century Roman satirist. Although in its modern usage the phrase has wide-reaching applications to concepts such as tyrannical governments, uncontrollably oppressive dictatorships, and police or judicial corruption and overreach, in context within Juvenal's poem it refers to the impossibility of enforcing moral behaviour on women when the enforcers (custodes) are corruptible (Satire 6, 346–348):

audio quid ueteres olim moneatis amici,
"pone seram, cohibe." sed quis custodiet ipsos
custodes? cauta est et ab illis incipit uxor.

I hear always the admonishment of my friends:
"Bolt her in, constrain her!" But who will watch the
watchmen? The wife plans ahead and begins with them!
They always do that, never mention the competitors hardware in the comparisons.
I can't speak for the US, but in Europe it's less rich/poor (though some country folk would like you to think so), and more rural conservative values vs city progressive values (which weirdly harbour some very religious-conservative people from immigrant/minority communities).
Thoroughly enjoyed the writing style and the process of solving the mystery withdrawal, even though the outcome wasn’t what I expected. Consumed through an email client so the AI image didn’t bother me either.

My understanding is that the GPU must still load its assigned layer from VRAM into registers and L2 cache for every token, because those aren’t large enough to hold a significant portion. So naively, for a 24GB layer, you‘d need to move up to 24GB for every token.

Ask HN: Are you getting (more) sales cold calls from SaaS companies?
There's a specific analytics/monitoring SaaS that somehow got my personal phone number and has been calling me on a regular basis trying to sell.

This is ridiculous. Why would they feel the need to sell through cold calls? The company I work for is also a SaaS, we are on the internet, and so are they.

Does anyone else feel an uptick of this kind of cold call? I definitively don't feel this was normal a few years ago.

I know you're half joking but if someone were to give an honest answer i think you need to take into consideration resources in the region, water supply, rivers that could carry radioactive material and so on. I would assume (they) would've already thought about this kind of thing where you would map what's the most damaging areas to nuke that would affect the most area.

Grim times ahead for sure but i'm not that stressed considering that something like 70% of russia's population is in the west of the country, very, very close to europe

FWIW I went down the path of automating as much as I could about this process.

These days, though, my process is more manual. Around every 24 or 48 hours, or immediately after making a transaction, I'll record the transaction in my ledger, which I store in Google Sheets (!) instead of a .ldg file. No more CSVs, no more pure functions of bank output.

Sometimes I miss the .ldg format. But I don't really miss maintaining the automated system. Google Sheets isn't as expressive as Ledger, but it is sufficient for my needs. Charting is a bit easier. YMMV!

To me, the most essential pivots to get me back into personal accounting were to record expenses both manually and ~daily. If I were to return to ledger again — which I might! — I'd focus on those aspects more than the automation.

> But the problem could presage a more significant issue for future drivers. Last year, Ford filed a patent for an in-car advertising system that would use the car’s speakers and display screen to serve ads to drivers and passengers. That system would also use the car’s GPS tracker to serve ads relevant to the driver’s route.

This is some Black Mirror type dystopian vision of the future for me. Just like nowadays you can't buy a "dumb TV" I imagine in the future it might be impossible to buy a dumb car that doesn't have these kinds of features built into the head unit.

But that's what's infuriating about this article: it doesn't really inform us about the ways bank actually operates, because it seems clear Patrick had made some massively misinformed assumptions about how banks actually operate. He goes into many words about how $50k is such an unwieldly amount for the average bank to have on hand. So is that assumption about the average bank wrong? Or did he wrongly assume that a New York branch of America's 2nd-largest bank operated similarly to any small-town independent bank, and if so, why would he do that?

That's not the original source, that's the video that made it go viral. The original source, as detailed in the article, is online reports from people (like me) who have experienced a Brother printer stop working when 3rd party toner is installed and that swapping the DRM chip fixes the issue.

There have been some South Koreans arguing for developing nukes, and until about two months ago, I was staunchly in the camp of "What a bunch of airheads, what purpose would nukes serve in our situation, when we already have our nuclear umbrella?"

No they didn't. There was never any promise like that.

I think it's interesting that the Trump administration hasn't breathed a word about the nuclear-sharing arrangements currently in place. It's low-hanging fruit, sends an extremely clear message, and relatively straightforward to accomplish, yet he hasn't made a move towards emptying the WS3 vaults in places like Kleine Brogel and Aviano.

I suspect right now we're seeing a lot of public noise designed largely to get Europe to spend more on both internal defense and their NATO commitments, while privately the attaches continue to conduct business as usual, at least when it comes to the American-supplied nuclear deterrent.

The last thing I'm interested in is what a table of multimillionaires has to say about the latest crappy social media tech fad.

They're saying it because they want it to be true; they want to make it true. They cannot resist the prospect of getting paid for every line of code produced by amateurs who regenerate their toy apps every time there's a bug.

I used to enjoy Louis' videos when he started out on YouTube, his troubleshooting process for repairs was cool to watch along with his soldering technique. I might've found him through Eli the Computer Guy (another early YouTuber), but these days both of them seem kind of jaded and cynical while pandering to people who seem angry at tech in general.

Anyway, it's weird looking back at various tech YouTubers and how they've either fallen out of favor or changed and adapted to reach further heights I guess. One schism I remember was TekSyndicate, I personally went on to follow Wendell to Level1Techs.
