$2t is the price tag of the entire program [1], from its conception to the jets retiring decades from now (note that programs tend to get extended, so the retirement year is probably too pessimistic). For comparison, the US is still producing F-16s, with the first F-16 produced in 1976.

F-35s has a much lower crash rate than F-16s during their first 20 years in service [2] and just recently passed 1 million flight hours [3]. The program has its problems, but it resulted in an incredibly capable fighter plane. Practically every US ally that has access to the F-35 run their evaluations and concluded that the F-35 is the best option (eg [4], quote: "F-35A offers highest overall benefit at lowest cost by far").

As a Brit, I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment

| “Use tea from India or Ceylon (Sri Lanka), not China,” it starts. “Use a teapot, preferably ceramic. Warm the pot over direct heat. Tea should be strong, six spoons of leaves per litre. Let the leaves move around the pot. No bags or strainers. Take the pot to the boiling kettle. Stir or shake the pot. Drink out of a tall, mug-shaped teacup. Don’t add creamy milk. Add milk to the tea, not vice versa. No sugar!”
You might enjoy Rick Roderick's "Masters of Suspicion" where he talks
about the influence (and perceived influence) of Nietzsche, Freud,
Marx and some other individuals credited with "changing the world".

"You notice I haven’t given an analysis of the Enlightenment but of
modernity, of modernisation, of the advance of capital, because
four pedants don’t make an age. And two or three weird philosophers
don’t give birth to a century of unreason. You know, Nietzsche
didn’t, you know, from his drawing room give birth to a century of
cannonade, slaughter, concentration camps, CIA subterfuge, the
raping and the murdering of nuns, the bombing of continents, the
despoiling of beaches and the ruin of a planet! Four or five
pedants do not have that much power, and never have. That’s just a
sort of bugbear. They didn’t 'unleash unreason on the world'
Jesus... how crazy can some people get. I mean, even in the
postmodern world you shouldn't be that crazy, to say that three or
four pedants invented this stuff. " -- R. Roderick Nietzsche’s
Progeny (1991)
That's all cool. But it's just standard deflection from the tens of thousands of deaths that the Biden administration directly enabled. And Arabs living in Israel doesn't magically make all the very public statements that Israel made (like that they wanted to level the city to the ground, and displace its population once and for all), repeatedly and throughout the entire Gaza operation just go away.
Who says it's easy? It's deceptively easy, but LLM assisted, especially agentic coding actually has a fairly involved learning curve and many pitfalls and foot guns.
And now Russia is forcing all Ukrainians in the occupied territories to register themselves as Russian citizens or lose all benefits and support

Then they can say, "hey, we can keep this bit because only Russians live here!"

This looks really useful. Doesn't fix the problem of memory corruption but mostly seems to limit the ability to convert that into remote code execution. And all the techniques are already in widespread use, just not the default or used together.

I would not be surprised if attackers still manage to find sneaky ways to bypass all the 4 protections, but it would certainly raise the bar significantly.
> the difference really matters

Does it though? If it quacks like a dictator and everybody lets him, it sounds like a dictatorship to me. Are you waiting for him to say "I declare this government to be a dictatorship" for it to be official? When the courts either ignore his illegal executive orders or make them legal, will you just say "well it's legal so not a dictatorship"? The red line you have in mind doesn't exist, because dictatorships are insidious.
I'm working on spat https://github.com/Florents-Tselai/spat a Postgres extension.

spat is a Redis-like in-memory data structure server embedded in Postgres. Data is stored in Postgres shared memory. The data model is key-value. Keys are strings, but values can be strings, lists, sets, or hashes.

It's still alpha, but it works.
I think there are three preconditions that helped brexit happen:

- it's much easier to influence politics in English than in Norwegian (or Dutch or Greek, etc.). The language can act as a protective barrier making it obvious which message is from the 'out' group and which is from the 'in' group.

- there was a lot of money invested by foreign actors in into influencing brexit because the UK is a large economy. The RoI is there.

- UK joining the EU came in tandem with the end of the Imperial times. The significance of the UK and it's economy is now proportional to their population. On the way down people are always ready to hear about scapegoats.

Norway has none of these things. Culturally well protected, not big enough to be a priority in influences and they went from poverty to wealthy in the same time.

On the other hand. Imperial times are making a comeback.
Most important is for it to have the right number consistently without room for error. You may also use multiple sequences like if you sell cars and crates of bananas you wouldn't want to mix those but you would want to use a single tool.

Anything else can be corrected. It is important to easily make corrections and/or credit nota as those seem to happen at the worse time. Usually the same as the invoice but with amounts in the -

It is also nice to tie the products into it so that you don't have to type it every time and get consistent naming. Same for an address book.
AFAIU the part that's doing it here is also the Linux part of the installer, so Linux either way. But I feel Windows was always slow with getting new devices ready at least until Windows 7, 8.1 felt much better, no idea how current 10/11 fares.
But you are never going to rewrite the gazillion or so lines of C++ out there, and currently being used in all sorts of production systems.

But if you have a beter compiler that points out more of the problem UB areas in your codebase, then you have somewhere you can make a start towards reducing the issues and attack surface.

The perfect is often the enemy of the good.

Is anyone else annoyed with the terrible data visualisations?

Too many data points for a bar chart, the colours are far too close together, the colours are easily confused by red-green colourblind users, the colours rotate all the way back to the same yellow/orange/red causing duplicates, and neither the bars nor the colours are in any meaningful kind of order!

Then the table shows nanoseconds to 3-digits of fractional precision, which is insane because no modern CPU has clock speeds above 6 Ghz, which is 1/6th of a nanosecond. There is no point showing 1/1000th of a nanosecond!

This is just begging to be a pivot-table, but that's a rare sight outside of the finance department.

Better yet, show clocks-per-byte at different sizes, which is the meaningful number developers are interested in.

Even better yet, take measurements at many more sizes and compute a fit to estimate the fixed overhead (y-intercept) and the clocks-per-byte (slope) and show only those.
Bluntly the issue with Brexit is that the UK had no plan and still has no plan.

In any case, it will take a long time to adapt but at least the country should have a plan to make the most of it and invest over the long term in that plan. Instead they've just only tried to minimise change and to stay as aligned on the EU as possible.

It's not a comment for or against Brexit, it's just an observation that it is really a "go for it or don't do it" situation.

Note, too, that one of the key measure that people wanted out of Brexit was to end free movement. If you end free movement there is not many options because that means you are firmly outside of the common market. Norway has free movement, and even Switzerland has. Considering the absolute shamble that is immigration policy in Europe, and still is in the UK, I can't see things evolving towards "rejoining" any time soon.
I have certainly heard people say that they couldn't support Harris because the Biden administration was too close to Israel, so instead didn't vote at all. I know it doesn't make sense to hand the election to somebody objectively worse on an issue they claim to care about, but there it is.

I suspect that whole thing was driven by some clever folks trying to get Trump into power.

Personally I think the risk he exposed others to gets too little attention. That jet could have come down anywhere. I can understand it’s a nerve wrecking situation and that ejecting is a likely outcome in any event, so “sooner rather than later” might feel like the better option. But sending the jet off as a cruise missile could have been avoided.

Yeah bro I'm sure you know more about handling precious manuscripts than a Cambridge University archivist.
I wonder how much even this approach would help. I would liken it to studying past exam papers with the solutions on hand. My experience is you actually have to solve the problems yourself to actually properly absorb the concepts, rather than just copy them into your short term memory for a short while.
It is one thing to get code explained to you (which can also be good) but another to engage in finding a solution, explore the problem space, fail a couple of times and learn from your mistakes also, and of course the embodied process itself of writing the code. Learning is an active process; having stuff explained to you is not bad but it does not lead to the same depth of understanding. Granted, not all subjects and cases benefit the same from deeper understanding and it is impossible to get into depth with everything. So this is a trade-off in each case to decide how much one may want to go in, and it is great that we also now have this option to not go in the same depth. But imo one should be mindful about it, and make conscious decisions on how they use LLMs in case where they may think that understanding a subject more is also important.

There are still ways that LLMs can be used in that case, eg having them review your code, suggest alternatives to your code, eg more idiomatic ways to do sth, when you delve into sth new etc, and treat their output critically of course, but actually writing one's code is important for some kinds of understanding.
No, comparing the two at this point is an attempt to pretend this insanity is the other side of the same coin. They're simply not.

Look at the spectrum.

1. Someone commits a harm (pick any one of the harms I listed from Trump above)

2. Someone attempts a harm and either hasn't succeeded yet or fails

3. Someone threatens a harm against someone.

4. Someone makes a request that implies they could escalate to a threat of harm if they were to be refused. (This is the worst you can reasonably claim the Twitter files as evidence for)

That is how far apart these two instances are.
If you disagree please be specific because this claim that both sides are equivalent is absurd, especially when people refuse to ground out the example when confronted.
I guess my comment above is downvoted because stating easily verifiable factual truths is not welcome?
Not actually a “white knight.” More of a scarred old dog, helping other mutts out. Like I said, in another comment, long story, and not one for the town square. I find it fascinating that you consider what I wrote to be “verbal aggression.” That’s a new one.

Neither saint, nor villain [anymore -Ed.]. My life story has made me who I am, and has forged my worldview. From what I have seen of your comments, life has forged a different worldview for you. It sounds like you may have overcome your own challenges, and it might be inspiring to hear those stories.

My story is not at all unusual. I regularly hang out with folks that knock it into a cocked hat. These are real people. They actually exist. They aren’t some Internet simulacrum. It makes me a bit regretful, that so many folks may not find communities that inspire them. They are out there, if we but look.

Just because we may choose not to look for it, does not mean that it doesn’t exist.

My post may not be what everyone wants to read, but it certainly inspired some interesting discussion, didn’t it? Whether or not I agree with everything, I find it a refreshing sidebar to the types of topics we usually cover.

I choose to keep showdead = no, so I am sure there’s some pretty brainsick stuff, as well, but HN seems to do a fairly good job of suppressing that kind of nonsense.

The answer to this is government regulation. Here in Germany, ever since 2016 we have the "Routerfreiheit" codified in law [1] - despite numerous attempts from wannabe crap-peddlers and cheapskates over the years, it still stands strong. Just this year, it was confirmed again, that the freedom to choose your router even applies to GPON [2].

ISPs here are required by law to state the technological standards they use, and consumers can request the required authentication data (for DSL PPPoE) or, in the case of hardware-based authentication with MAC addresses (for DOCSIS), submit these to the provider.

In practice most will rent from their ISP, but the competition is so strong that cheap crap routers are rare, usually ISPs make a point in advertising customers will get an AVM FritzBox - the ultimate market leader for good reasons.

Most likely they won't, since Roderick openly and efficiently argues against "paleoconservatives" and the like.
Germany does have such laws that stem from its old monarchic honor culture and these laws are currently abused for political purposes. Laws that were in affect through its autocracies and were always abused as well.

Just saying that it might not be the best model.
Ah but that's exactly what the EU is trying to do, me thinks. They are using the curcumstances as an opportunity and pretext to involve themselves in military issues, perhaps even to propose full-on EU forces soon.

I feel like this fixation on "punishment" as a legal term of art is not strictly necessary and my point can be reinterpreted in a charitable way that restates the same thing using different but functionally equivalent magic words.

So swap out "punishable" and instead say "legally actionable" (or other preferred synonym) and you nevertheless have an assessment that falls under what you noted is the entire fairness standard and the upshot is the same.

Also my understanding is that courts defer to the experts of the acquiring company. And if those experts are predisposed to have a favorable interpretation that favors the acquiring company, the valuation is in the less than optimal range of a range of values produced even by them, and they, by contrast to an actual market, might be much more lenient than a market would be in determining the price. So there's a convergence of variables that underscore the difference between fair as we conventionally understand the term (which is what we were all interested in here) and whatever it means to have survived legal scrutiny in Delaware.

Which again I would say means that this debate has real teeth and it's more than semantically equivalent differences in emphasis.

I apologize for the "System A/B" confusion, I was of course trying to reference the "System 1/2" paradigm from Daniel Kahneman's well known book "Thinking, Fast and Slow".

Addictive apps are algorithmically tuned to maximize user screen time so my (unproven) hypothesis is that tend to promote content that minimizes deep System 2 thinking, which is well known to tire the brain and deplete its energy storage. Educational content - if it's any good - is all about training deep thinking.

UK poll: Work and money worry young people more than culture wars or climate
Well, WWIII or some other form of nuclear strikes may change that perception.

I agree its dangerous to be overly positive and naive, we humans are still just a notch above beasts, are easy to manipulate (always via negative emotions like greed, envy, inferiority complex and so on), but things can absolutely go to utter shit, we have more capabilities than ever to spread it across globe. Not just nuclear - drone warfare is absolutely maddening. Imagine 10 millions of them, each with their target, each going with absolute precision and on its own - thats what current armies aim for and within a decade they will get it.

What is (and always was) is that very few holds most of the decision power. Get one mental unstable vicious person there and it falls down like house of cards. Our current high tech civilization is pretty fragile to disruption. Sure, we can always revert to stone age, some would even be glad, but I strongly prefer not to.
You think Trump is going to do better? Looks to me like he is doubling down on it.
Did you understand what was being said.

You are not engaging with the central issue- the education pipeline is depositing students with a far lower attention span and capability than ever before, in college classes, for all subjects, including Math.

You are banging on humanities as it is a ritualistic target. Math and science teachers, including comp sci teachers are pointing this out.

The trend exists.

This reminds of the Ghost (was it Norton Ghost?) tool. I use to experiment with the file system and try out many many all kinds of softwares from Internet and software CDs. Those CDs use to come with 100s of softwares of all kind. I use to buy them and then try out every single one of them. I use to maintain an index, using IYF, to find a software in any of those CDs.

Anyway these softwares use to have there crack/patch tools with them (with music and effects and whatnot). These cracks often had virus or trojen in them. I have bored my windows many many times. Ghost helped with that immensely. I had 1 or 2 fresh install with basic setup ghost backup always available. After every bork, it only took a minute to restore my windows to fresh clean state. Kaspersky was the best anti virus back then, no other tool repaired my corrupted softwares like it. Norton anti virus use to scream only after getting infected itself.

We have it lot easy now.

>A Pragmatic Security Goal

>Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks where attackers exploit memory-corruption bugs to achieve complete control are a very important class of potentially-devastating attacks. Such attacks can be hugely disruptive, even simply in the effects and economic cost of their remediation [26]. Furthermore, the risk of such attacks is of special, critical concern for server-side platform foundations [10]. Greatly reducing the risk of RCE attacks in C and C++ software, despite the presence of memory-corruption bugs, would be a valuable milestone in software security especially if such attacks could be almost completely prevented. We can, therefore, aim for the ambitious, pragmatic goal of preventing most, or nearly all, possibilities of RCE attacks in existing C and C++ software without memory safety. Given the urgency of the situation, we should only consider existing, practical security mechanisms that can be rapidly deployed at scale.
