War games was incredibly unusual too. The script writers, this was their first screenplay, they had no idea thay no one in hollywood cared about technical accuracy in scripts and spent a whole lot of time trying to get the tech details correct.

Also, not sure if you missed it, but Manhattan Project was part of the trifecta for me from that era that fed my desire to grow up to do intellectually difficult things.

VAC is minor if the 3D used is shallow around those focus distances. This requires manipulation by hand to be somehow abstracted, but for long-term use, you likely want that anyway for limb ergonomics.

Kill as many Russians as possible and use up as many Russian munitions as possible - with the inevitable consequence being the death of a lot of Ukrainians in the process.
The Russians had some successes in asymmetric warfare, but they can't 'win' outright on the ground, and peace would probably decimate their economy.

I will take latest matrix. The movie was awful, of course, but I was in awe of its bright, vivid, wonderful color work. If only plot was better.

We use Forge because they support our non-big-3 Cloud provider and because they take the headaches out of provision systems. Overall, it's been great.

The thing I love/hate about Forge is that it makes some stuff JUST easy enough to not have to build yourself, but also makes it just frustrating enough for the customizations/tweaks we've built up over the years.

More recently, we started using the API to script various setups and configurations. It took processes that used to take several hours and made them minutes. This means we avoid having to figure out and manage things likes what the default nginx config is across servers. But then, there is SOME stuff like PHP ini files that you can't modify via the API. So we end up running an amalgamation of API commands with some "command scripts" that do the one-off things.

All things considered, I wish there was an Ansible migration path off of Forge. There are so many little things we've had to do that results in our needing to create and run one-off scripts but Forge has just the little bit of edge that migrating off is "more trouble than it's worth".

I just with they could fix the team dynamics. e.g. I want to be able to have a library of scripts (forge: recipes) my team can run—but since I'm the account owner, only I can run them!
I think the answer is simpler - if they draft young people, their demographic pyramid will be even more utterly devastated after the war ends.
In fact, there is demand for colorful products. However, the way businesses measure demand today is through the aggregate unit demand. In effect, you get the lowest common denominator products rising to the top, and people with specific preferences can't get at their desired products. If instead, businesses would measure demand at a more granular level, they'd see this and be able to better serve their customers.

This article illustrates how economically destructive these tariffs are for all involved.

Of course those who are politically favored, such as US farmers, will get a handout, everyone else gets to pound sand.

I think a US recession is a given at this point, the only question is if there will also be a global recession.

If Trump persists with the threatened tariffs, there will definitely be a reordering of US and global trade, but not in the way he thinks. The US will likely have lower growth and higher inflation, ie "stagflation" and the rest of the world will move to trading with itself and without the US. There will be less competition and a consequent lowering of quality and innovation in areas such as cars.

It's a recipe for long term US decline.
I've always found these general solutions kind of confusing. All uses of distributed data are inherently flawed, and have specific limitations, so you have to pick a solution that closest matches your specific use case.

I like the idea behind graft, but it immediately runs into some complications. Like the fact that, as an edge device with unreliable networking, its client may not have availability to fetch the pages it needs when it needs them. If anything, what the client really needs is to fetch all the data whenever it can, so that when it does need to access it, it isn't waiting.

But if you have a lot of data, that could take forever! That's why the application needs to be more intelligent about what data it's requesting, and do things like create priorities and classes for its data so it can fetch what it needs the most first.

The fact that this is built for SQLite kind of reinforces the point. Distributed relational databases are usually a bad idea, because usually people want them to be ACID-like, but you can't enforce that in a distributed way. That's why things like CRDTs exist; you treat every "copy" as an independent thing, breaking the false narrative that you can really distribute the same thing in multiple places reliably. (And that shows you why relational databases just aren't good for replicating; to replicate an entire relational database with CRDTs, you need one CRDT per cell, which multiplies your data)
I'm always weirded out by such "domain-specific knowledgey" statements like this.

I just don't get how someone simultaneously e.g. knows what a Roland Drum Machine is, but also manages to stay wildly ignorant about an entire genre of established music to make such a sweeping statement.

My first thought was maybe they are following the advice of instead of creating something new, just clone something successful and riff on it.

He legitimately believes that we're in a simulation. While scientists have explored the thought experiment to improve understanding of the universe, he took all the wrong lessons from it and considers everyone else an NPC.

A long time ago I worked at a children's toy store and among other things I was responsible for ordering and restocking the bins full of small loose toys that cost under a buck or two.

A weird thing I noticed was that if an item came in an assortment of colors that included yellow, yellow was always the slowest color to sell. Often bins would end up with just yellow inventory after all the other colors had sold. But I discovered that if I removed the yellow samples from the bin entirely that the overall sales for the item would plummet.

I'd often joke that we should open up another store that only sold yellow merchandise as a way to move the excess inventory that built up from me implementing a yellow-buffering system, but instead we'd just end up donating them to a school or giving them away on Easter or whatever.
> too easy to modify too many things in one go

To avoid this, just ask Cursor to use suggestion blocks instead of the edit file tool. This way, you can review each suggested change, click apply if you like it, review that specific change and make any edits, then proceed to the next suggestion block.

This is the best way to avoid chaotic changes that become difficult to review thoroughly, and while it takes longer, is a much less risky approach using focused, granular edits.

It’s a much more efficient workflow than alt-tabbing and copy pairing to and from a website, and much more powerful with how easily you can add context, swap out the LLM model being called, and apply suggestions that you deem acceptable with granular oversight.
I don't think anyone would argue the point of cars is to look pretty or make the environment more balanced. Cars are successful in spite of looking like shit and damaging the environment.

One of the big things that Forge did for us a long time was handling of deployments. The ability to just have it respond to a commit: download the code, do the build and then restart FPM, was great.

We don't use that anymore, but we use it for provisioning and maintenance of systems... it's not GREAT at that, but it is still super nice to be able to say "stand up a MySQL server" and then it's just up and ready to go in a few minutes without having to deal with Ansible and Akamai...

>More than 50% of American voters voted for him. I am having a difficult time to believe that 50%+ of the US are economically oppressed that had no choice but to vote for Trump.

I think it's important to be accurate with this stuff. 49.8% of voters voted for Trump, approximately 32% of eligible voters voted for him, and roughly 23% of the population voted for him. Don't discount apathy, disillusionment, and disenfranchisement in all this.
For me, it is very apparent in movies nowadays.

I watched the Lord of the Rings over Christmas, and I was stunned by how colorful the movie is. Even in the darkest scenes in Mordor, it felt more colorful than movies of today.

Today, it looks like everything is shot in log and then someone does not add the saturation back. But I am also guilty of this .. when I got my new camera, my graded clips also looked very flat, but I like(d) that look because of all the movies and youtube videos looking like this.
Or we just don't look past twitter and such.
Pro tip look for an industry that works for big capable customers that can defend themselves. Helps to create a structure of accountability inside a company that you can connect to as someone trying to have a positive career. Doesn't mean everything will be perfect, but it is easier than pushing against the stream in a company that "serves"[1] a disaggregated (and thus mostly defenseless) customer base.

ArtFacts: Artist Ranking
There is, but...

1. It requires flagging first. And that immediately kills posts ability to naturally grow. They're now invisible, so getting karma to get visibility is way harder. Even if they're unflagged, they're inherently disadvantaged and the original flagger still gets their way.
2. It's not accounted for in deduplication. So if a post is unflagged and it loses all momentum, nobody can repost it or it gets flagged for duplication!
3. Only some people can vouch, and they usually don't even know it exists.
4. And even if you can vouch, you need to go looking for flagged posts to find the post to vouch for.

Maybe some people should lose their flagging privileges when they're clearly abusing it? But I have a sneaking suspicion that won't happen.
The dock seem to have two USB-A to the left, outside of the cover. No way the camera can't be plugged in there... I hope. Or maybe they're not expecting the camera to be all that popular.

The US seems to want Russia to lose the war but not for the government (i.e. Putin's grip on power) to collapse (because nukes). That seems to be the main thing driving this 'helping but not too much' strategy, but it's not obvious that it will or can succeed.
awesome insight. i've heard this referred to as the "site merchandising" problem. There are some products that are there to attract people / give them a choice, but they don't sell themselves.

I miss the 90s and the wild, loud colours the landscape of the future was supposed to be painted in. Now everything is off-white or grey.
Color is the last vestige of ornamentation[1].

Modern design didn’t kill color. It put it on probation. Stripped of aesthetic authority, color now has to justify its existence or get cut. No more freedom to wander or express, it shows up for assigned tasks only: branding, signage, error states, traffic lights.

In the cult of "form follows function," color met the axe. We no longer trust it to create, only to comply. Expressiveness? No. Just signal. Never art. A century after Ornament and Crime, we put color on a PIP. Beauty must be functionalized.

About Me: I'm a full stack developer, leaning towards the front end, with 3+ years of web dev experience plus some mobile experience. I also have some game dev experience in Unity and Unreal Engine. Along with having experience in the technologies listed above, I've recently been learning Three.js and D3.

I'm actively seeking full-time or part-time opportunities, plus I have experience in both established companies and early-stage startups. Even if it's for an early stage startup I'm flexible with discussing a reasonable hourly salary.

I'm open to a lot of different industries, and some areas that I'm particularly interested in developing for include health care, travel, hospitality, ed tech, clean tech, game dev, and anything VR or AR related

The example they use of Baroque art actually perfectly demonstrates this. It primarily consists of neutral tones that integrate well with the blues and muted oranges woven through it. Not exactly riotous color, as they put it - but very similar to the use of color you see both in modern designs and older cultural traditions.

(edit) I do think we've swung a little hard in the direction of color minimalism recently; it can get oppressive when combined with the trend towards minimalism in structure and form too. But I think it's fine for the default to err toward inoffensiveness and color to be used purposefully, and if/when public opinion shifts away from that there isn't exactly any impediment to design shifting with it.
> They acted like the goal was to step on Putin's toes without pissing him off too much...

I mean, when you're fighting a nuclear power, making sure you don't piss them off enough to make them use their nuclear weapons, or at least unleash their most powerful conventional weapons on your main cities, seems like a good strategy.

Imagine for a second that instead of Russia, it was the USA fighting a proxy war against, say, China. And that China had just provided the intelligence and maybe weapons for, say, Cuba to sink the largest US Carrier. I am very sure the USA would freaking unleash hell on Cuba, maybe also on China. The only reason the Russians didn't do the same is that they're probably not capable of doing so, at least not without losing too much for it to be a rational choice. But at the time, the USA was not entirely sure of what the Russians would do when provoked to such an extent. They were understandably worried. As they learned the Russians were not exactly doing what they might have expected, they gradually started pushing more and more up until the point the Russians launched an Oreshnic ballistic missile which could've easily been carrying a nuclear payload, but luckily didn't. Biden still pushed further a bit even after that, but in my opinion that was rather irresponsible. You can't push the Russians forever, even in their current position, before you should expect them to become desperate and start using whatever they can to start pushing back at you, and the Russians still can do that.
TUS Server: an implementation of the TUS protocol for resumable uploads
This appears to be the same two authors who reported that "People cannot distinguish GPT-4 from a human in a Turing test" back in May 2024:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.08007

That earlier result was because they botched the statistics, changing the test so it's no longer a binary comparison but still analyzing as if it was. They seem to have fixed that now, perhaps in response to reviewer feedback. This new preprint is the best LLM Turing test I've seen so far.

That said, their humans sure don't seem to be trying very hard. The most effective interrogator strategies ("jailbreak" and "strange") were also the least used. I don't think any of these models can fool a skilled human who's paying attention, though there's still practical use for a model that can fool an unskilled human who isn't (scams, etc.).

I can't speak to this but I took a drawing class a long time ago. I'm not very good but it was a lot of drawing circles. When you see people freehand stuff it's kind of wild but that's not how people learn how to draw they're just very good at it from practice. Most of learning is drawing very basic shapes, usually circles, and erasing parts that don't make sense and continuing.
