You're not even asking the right question. There's nothing magic about cheap drones. They can be effective supplements to crew-served weapons and light artillery for close combat. But they lack the range to be effective in the Indo-Pacific Theater, and when drones are designed with sufficient range they stop being cheap. Besides the range problem, cheap drones also can't perform the full spectrum of missions like deep strike, ASuW, interception, etc.

For all its faults, the F-35 at least has sufficient combat radius and survivability to be relevant in a major near-peer conflict (although it desperately needs a new and more expensive adaptive cycle engine). Until a better platform comes along the choices are essentially the F-35 or nothing.

Have you ever pressed play on Netflix and wondered what technology ensures your video starts instantly and plays without interruptions? Simply pressing play triggers a global technological symphony that delivers content to over 301 million subscribers in 190 countries.

Behind this massive operation lies one of the world's most sophisticated distributed systems architectures.

This article explores the technical decisions and architectural patterns that make streaming on Netflix effortless. It also discusses what software engineers and architects can learn from this extraordinary-scale system.

It mean be polite. If I tell you that libfoo is super secure, accept that as true, continue to listen to the sales pitch, and then in the evening, look at the source for it so you can assert for yourself that it is secure.

Don't derail the whole thing by arguing that libfoo couldn't possibly be secure because x, y, and z, it's about getting to the vendors value proposition and not getting stuck in important but not-right-now details.

> I would actually wager that benefits dont matter to them anymore. If it's government, it's bad. Full stop. Conservatives don't really have any real stances. They are obstructionists at this point.

The Trump GOP has no reflexive opposition to government.
Trump won the nomination in 2016 because he abandoned the GOP orthodoxy on free markets and declared there would be no cuts to Medicare or Social Security benefits. https://www.vox.com/2015/8/15/9159117/donald-trump-moderate

Tariffs are government. Border security is government. Police are government. The Trump GOP supports all those things.

On the environment, Trump is an incrementalist. He’s not proposing on repealing the Clean Air Act or Clean Water Act. But in the 50-60 years since those laws, we have adopted numerous rules and regulations that don’t provide the same level of benefit. In his first term, he was focused on rolling back those regulations.
> There are no known health problems caused by this syndrome

This is a causal hypothesis framed as a statement. The rhetorics indicate an authoritative statement of fact regarding what the syndrome does cause, which is fundamentally an impossible conclusion to draw empirically.

The only hedge in the sentence is "known", which is tautological.

Of course, it's impossible to eliminate all variables, making authoritative claims about lack of causal relation impossible. But at least they could make the effort to frame this uncertainty in reasonable terms.

> What would the causal hypothesis be, "this syndrome causes no diseases"?

EDIT: but c'mon, just read the article. It's extremely bold in its claims with no evidence. "If you have short sleeper syndrome, you don’t need as much sleep as others. You can expect this to continue throughout your life." "Natural short sleepers don’t experience the same health risks as people who don’t get enough sleep." etc.
I don't see any semantic difference between this and "this syndrome causes no known diseases". (or "SSS doesn’t pose any known health risks." as the actual quotation states.)
I recall a similar company that advertised their jobs through DNS. I think they had a TXT record that suggested how to actually apply.

If you think that latter part is easy, then you should definitely go clone a SaaS and exit with millions. You have all the tools at your disposal to clone any app that you want now with minimal effort. Be a 1 man team, no overhead. Undercut on price and exit.

In fact, it's not that easy. The second part -- GTM -- is the hardest part; even if you could clone Notion, getting that product in front of customers is the hard part.
here is an idea, curious what others think of this:

split the entire coursework into two parts:

part 1 - students are prohibited from using AI. Have the exams be on physical papers than digital ones requiring use of laptop/computer. I know this adds burden on corrections and evaluations of these answers, but I think this provides a raw answer to someone's understanding of concepts being taught in the class.

part2 - students are allowed, and even encouraged to use LLMs. And they are evaluated based on the overall quality of the answer, keeping in mind that a non zero portion of this was generated using an LLM. Here the credit should be given to the factual correctness of the answer (and if the student is capable of verifying the LLM output).

Have the final grade be some form of weighted average of a student's scores in these 2 parts.

note: This is a raw thought that just occurred to me while reading this thread, and I have not had the chance to ruminate on it.
You replied to the wrong person in the thread.

>Actor Scott Glenn, who plays the Captain of Dallas, modeled his character after our Captain, Tom Fargo.

Terrific character. I just love the competency and leadership. Hopefully your Cpt. Fargo was just as good.

My favorite exchange from the movie is when Jonesy brings his report to the captain. He's aware of how crazy this theory sounds, especially when his very serious and hard-to-read captain rephrases it back to him. Jonesy starts getting nervous and fumbling and Mancuso cuts him off -- "Relax, Jonesy. You sold me." Not quite sure why that simple line hits so hard.

I used family tree dna. Not really much in the way of guarantees on data privacy as you'd expect (at least not from a software developer's perspective), but I figure it's challenging enough to abuse knowledge of my exact mitochondrial haplogroup, that if someone can do that, they can do worse anyway.

There are plenty of Russians who aren't politically engaged. I think you can see why they may still not be as welcome in Europe as, say, someone from Peru.
If you’re supplementing probiotics, there is some research about inulin to talk through with your doctor. There’s a chance that inulin is carcinogenic even at lower doses. A lower dosage might be 4g and a typical probiotic is 200g.

Reasons to be wary of this research, including:

-The rodent-to-human study element

-causation v correlation

-sample size

Reasons to take this research seriously:

-Probiotic supplements are relatively new and long term effects aren’t understood.

-The “health as a business” realities that are very much at work here.

I play hockey frequently and have the same issue. When we go on vacation, I sleep worse, need to sleep later and longer to feel better. I know that even moderate cardio regulates circadian rhythm and helps with body temperature regulation. Your body's temperature increases during exercise, when you stop and your body temp comes back down, neurologically it tells the body you're now ready for sleep. Exercise also helps regulate melatonin production which affects your sleeping cycles.

When I play in really hard, grueling sessions, taking CBD also helps reduce the inflammation in my body and helps me sleep deeper. I also stretch for at least 30-40 mins when I get done which also helps.

So it makes sense, once you stop or change your body's cycle, it can affect a lot of other areas of your day-to-day schedule.
> The issue is those people who want to completely dismantle the state of Israel and evict (or kill) all the Jewish inhabitants.

This is equally as wrong as those Israelis who want to wipe Gaza off the map and occupy the entire West Bank. Sadly for the Palestinians, a bunch of people who believe this are part of the Israeli government.

I have backpacked around places where literally the US funded decades-long civil wars that devastated the country, and people do not blame you for what your government does. Even in places like Nicaragua where the government is _tremendously_ anti-American, even talking to communist true believers that say they hate everything America stands for (oh and was _that_ a fun night of drinking), in towns with "Viva la Revolution" and "Colonizer Go Home" graffiti, they were incredibly nice to me personally. There was one particular person in a group of locals I was hanging out with who pretended she didn't speak english, because she was annoyed about having to accommodate me and my terrible spanish, until we started talking about Sasha Baron Cohen movies and then suddenly she started speaking enthusiastic english that sounded like she was a UCLA Film Studies major.

I talked to a guy in El Salvador that got deported for being in MS-13 and he just wanted to chill and talk about the US and sports. I talked to someone from Colombia that was struggling to get a visa to visit her brother and she was mad about the _situation_, but not mad at _me_ about it, she just wanted to vent.

Just listen more than you talk and be careful about how you talk about politics unless you're in the mood for an argument.

I definitely agree with part of what you're saying. The AI tools make it much easier to become disconnected from what you're writing.

That being said, did you read this post in particular? I explicitely say "ChatGPT and Claude tends to write in a generic style erases my personal tone of voice. I don't want to create "AI slop", I just want to write more efficiently."

My purpose with this tool is not to just dump what ChatGPT says into a document, but make it easier to research sources, find images, and proofread my writing.
Love this movie, it turned me into an avid reader of Clancy.

At the time of this movie, I was working as a software engineer for a defense contractor building combat control systems for submarines. When it was released, the company took the entire department, including former Navy submarine officers now project/program managers to a private viewing. There were definitely groans when some things on the sub were inaccurate, but given the level of hands-on knowledge and expertise in the audience, it was very well received.
Most of the developers of the microcomputer revolution era programmed in Non-Unix environments.

I ask Claude to solve problems of similar complexity on a daily basis. A SAT solver specifically is maybe a once a week thing.

Use cases are anything, really. Determine resource allocation for a large project, or do Monte Carlo simulation of various financial and risk models. Looking at a problem that has a bunch of solutions with various trade-offs, pick the best strategy given various input constraints.

There are specialized tools out there that you can pay an arm and a leg for a license to do this, or you can have Claude one-off a project that gets the same result for $0.50 of AI credits. We live in an age of unprecedented intelligence abundance, and people are not used to this. I can have Claude implement something that would take a team of engineers months or years to do, and use it once then throw it away.

I say Claude specifically because in my experience none of the other models are really able to handle tasks like this.

You can do arithmetic by hand without being fast or accurate. It's still useful to check that calculations are correct, it's just slow for the ancient use of tallying up a bill.

This also doesn't make sense because buying shoes from Nike.com costs roughly the same as Footlocker. Is Nike taking that 50% cut in this case? Article definitely hand waves away a ton of the complexity around tariffs and global trade.

My favorite line is: "Asian manufacturing in Asia produces US jobs. You go to Footlocker to buy a pair of $100 shoes because you can afford them. This creates jobs for the Footlocker employees".

It feels like people have completely flipped their views on offshoring manufacturing in the last 6 months. If you go back 10 years ago we were barraged with stories about Foxconn, corporations exploiting workers in developing nations, and scenes of abandoned manufacturing cities like Detroit. The popular view was that we needed to build our manufacturing base back up and that using developing nations to pump out cheap disposable goods was bad for everyone except giant corporations.

Now we are getting told that corporations offshoring all their labor to developing nations is good, and that the USA should not do manufacturing. This article even asserts that we will lose jobs if we produce things domestically.

I don't agree with the ham-fisted bullying approach Trump is using, but I do agree with the philosophical underpinning. Offshoring all our manufacturing is not a good long term strategy and will slowly erode the value of labor and our economy.

People are likely to start suffering real, personal pain because of all the garbage coming from the White House. If you lost your job at the factory because of the tariffs, and hear some loud Americans next to you at the bar... maybe you don't feel so charitable towards them compared to a more abstract dispute over, say, your views on the best way to provision health care.

Not sure how likely that will be (the bars where factory workers hang out tend to not be the ones in tourist areas, for one), but it seems plausible to me.

I wouldn't let that stop me from travelling though.

This is undeniably true. The consequences of a technological collapse at this scale would be far greater than having never had it in the first place. For this reason, the people in power (in both industry and government) have more destructive potential than at any time in human history by far. And they do not act like they have little to no awareness of the enormous responsibility they shoulder.

As a Swede who was around back then, it's completely different this time around. At that time despite animosity, there was no (anywhere remotely mainstream) talk of decoupling from the US, reducing dependence on them, seriously reevaluating the relationship. Now there is, and people are serious. More importantly, the way in which the US spoke about Europe back then was completely different. Currently, the US treats Europe as adversaries.

Of course they are, as long as you make an effort not to stand out too much.

Obviously, that means no MAGA hats (but who wears those outside of the US?), but also no USA flags on clothing, hats, or whatever (and definitely no flag of Israel). Tip: look more neutral by wearing camouflage, like a white sweater with a red 11-pointed maple leaf on it.

Ask HN: Whats your late-80s/early-90s computer setup for your kids to mess with?
I grew up with a simple computer: It had some software and programming stuff on it and it wasn't connected to the internet. I was able to just mess around and learn how computers worked, how to use them, and the basics of how to program, without my parents worrying that I was 1) breaking something they needed for work or 2) finding 4chan.

What are your setups for your elementary-aged kids? Do you have a system they can just mess with and break and it's no big deal? Specifically if it's not just a regular hand-me-down computer, what is it and what's the setup?
There's now another blog post about Rapid storage specifically: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/storage-data-transfer... . (That wasn't up yet when the original post was made.)

>In Cambodia, they pay $208 per month, which is assuming a 160 hour work month, which I guarantee is the bare minimum which gives them $1.30 in wages per hour.

That means nothing without knowing what other jobs pay and what the overall cost of living is. It honestly feels a little dishonest to convert things to USD without either putting it in perspective to the rest of their costs or adjusting it to a value that reflects the spending power of that amount of money. Does $1.30 buy them one hamburger or would it buy them 10+?
> But one consistent idea resounded clearly. When I asked each of our guests whether Americans would still be welcome in their country, they all said the same thing: Yes, of course! Why on earth wouldn’t Americans be welcome here?
