Putin is not that unrealistic, he knows very well that even just one nuke would make Russia a pariah state for the next 100 years at least. Even China would turn their back on them. Turning Russia into a second North Korea was never Putin&#

Mullvad allows Bitcoin purchases of tokens, which can then be used as a serial for the VPN that works for the time period you've purchased. Users can change tokens any time. That's probably close to what you're already doing.

Not that I'm an expert on this topic, but my guess is that Putin lives in a self-produced information bubble. He's superficially well-informed but relies way too much on intelligence reports, which can completely misrepresent what

Contrary to what you're insinuating, this is one of the clearest cases in recorded history of conflicts. Russia is the aggressor and started a territorial war against Ukraine - already in 2014, now turned into a full-scale invasion. Yo

His posts reeks of unreflected self pity and all you can offer is whataboutism?

The victims are the people in Ukraine, not you. People are dying there and the country has been dragged into chaos. Russia is 100% the aggressor in this case. If you don't want to feel the pain of sanctions, you better do something to

I'm sure you're right in principle but have to point out that ten million dollars is peanuts, people have loaned more than that and not given back.

Some analysis (not by an expert though): 1. There will be no EU or US troops coming to aid Ukraine, and Ukraine knows that. It was clear from the start that direct NATO involvement could lead to WW3 and there is currently no will to risk th

Gaming is not so bad on Linux but I wish I'd never bought any pro audio plugins for my home recordings. It's going to be a colossal waste of money and unfinished recording projects when I decide to get rid of Windows for good.

Not that I want to defend open access fees but the way you describe it is incorrect. Paying for open access fees with large publishers like Springer is an option that is separate from the review system, you can only choose it once your pape

Not bothering would be the equivalent of the app store closing in this case, which would mean that iPhones would have to be open. So that would be the ideal outcome (except for Apple).

Ada does them well. They have attributes that allow for converting to and from integers and strings [1], and case statements have to be exhaustive or use a default "others" clause. [1] https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki

Wait a minute. Shouldn't the goal of the defender be to make it clear to the attacker that they would incur losses that outweigh possible wins for the attacker, thereby making the attack a lose-lose scenario? This is only possible if t

That's a bit of an old-school language flame war response. It seems obvious that there is no objective criterion for determining when a language is simple enough and when it isn't. Not everybody uses Go for the same hypothetical &

You're involuntarily confirming my negative criticism of Bayesianism by suggesting Bayesian methods could tell us whether there is life on Mars. Sometimes you really need to gather more information and/or develop an analytic model

by 13415 5y ago
Sorry, I can't agree with you on that one at all. It doesn't "...all depend on how we want to define things." Whether the representation of an epistemic state -- any state, really -- is suitable and adequate for a task i

Dutch book arguments are at least intended to provide a sufficient condition and are tied to interpretations of ideal human behavior, although they also make fairly strong assumptions about human rationality. The axiomatizations do not have

That's an excellent question. The answer is that I don't really count such kind of theorems as positive arguments. They are more like indicators that carve out the space of possible representations of rational belief and basically

I don't know much about statistical uses of Bayesianism but can say something opinionated about the underlying philosophy. From a philosophical point of view, Bayesianism is fairly weak and lacks argumentative support. The underlying i

No, they should be written in comprehensible and elegant prose that is as short as possible while allowing an informed reader to check each step.

Hashing is also not secure hashing, cryptographic hash functions are a small subset of all hash functions. I wish the author would make that clear. I've seen many abuses of cryptographic hash functions where ordinary (though perhaps sp

How do they guarantee that an answer is correct? That requires a small verified kernel in theorem provers. This seems hard to achieve with a neural network. Or is the goal to produce solutions that could be correct / are likely correct

Java was also largely successful, by now it's the new Cobol of business software and will never go away. The same for C++, of course, it will not go anywhere, at worst it will slide a few points down the TIOBE index (where, surprisingl

Thanks for clarifying, I was genuinely interested in what your view is. As others have pointed out, current vaccines seem to be somewhat effective against hospitalization and highly effective at preventing death by the Omicron variant. It&#

by 13415 5y ago
I'm not sure I understand you correctly. You do not want to take a vaccine that provides a tenfold reduction of the risk of dying from the Omicron variant? Or are you arguing that vaccinations with the existing vaccines should continue

Less threatening than the flu if you're vaccinated against flu or just against the flu without vaccination? Influenza is not a harmless disease either, people at risk are advised to get a yearly shot.

That's the thing, though, you can make money with open source software but only if your business model is not based on selling software. There are some companies for whom dual licensing work (e.g. AdaCore) but these are really the exce

In my opinion, there are plenty of good alternatives to Go such as Nim, or Python if performance allows, and even languages like Zig, V, CommonLisp, and D depending on the use case. I don't get why people keep mentioning Rust in thread
