Abrams famously runs on any fuel because it has a jet engine. In any case fuel is not a problem now. Ammo is already supplied in western standards (for example 155mm, even precision shells) in hundreds of thousands of tons.

RE1) Abrams and Leopards would become inoperable within a year or two without spares, much faster if you actually use them in combat (did you know the Abrams runs on a jet engine?) RE2) fair point, immoral but realpolitik, can't disagr

Russia is throwing everything already, we've even seen T-55 taken out of what could be called museums. You should see some pictures from the front, it is Verdun all over again. This is a total war that has to conclude.

OK, but he won't have it. Time to get real. I'm not boasting, the war over the political control of all of Ukraine, or even the eastern half of it is lost. It didn't have to be lost, but it was lost in March of 2022. What rem

Great, now free the Leopards, Abrams and IFVs/APCs. This ain't gonna end unless Ukraine gets more armor to (re)form battalions. I really don't get the whole "don't anger Putin" vibe, during the Vietnam War the

The point is that since there's ~nobody with his first/last name combo people will assume it was him. Whereas if there were many people with his first/last name combo he'd have a default defense (it wasn't me). In f

Around the place where I'm from the local government put one cross next to the road for each fatality. It was on a local single-lane road. And they used data that stretched decades back. There really was a lot of those, especially arou

The truth is most people would operate just fine in any environment, including Nazi Germany, justifying it like you just did. It's plain luck that they aren't. In this specific case it's very easy to morally justify such data

Sadly, but remember that privacy there is often the difference between making it past the next regime change, or not making it.

A number can have more than one name of course. In fact every number usually has an infinite number of names (just add some meaningless junk to the name).

If you want an explanation: the set is countable from "outside", that is the entire model is countable. But inside the model there really isn't a bijection between the sets of naturals and reals. This function is not an eleme

You are under the impression that CPUs and other chips always perform the same instructions as are written in the code, and only RAM can flip bits because DRAM is DRAM :) It can (and should! whenever possible) be improved, not fixed. There&

by H8crilA 4y ago
This problem has no ultimate solution. I've seen all components flip bits, CPUs, networking cards, RAM, most often you just can't know for sure what did it. You can remedy it a bit (like with ECC), but ultimately there will always

My whole career. It has worked for quite a few years already without a hiccup. What makes this strategy work is the quantity of technical incompetence that's present in nearly all workplaces. I am actually a liked employee (both by sup

You are absolutely right. But I will fake my way into your company on the whole business thing and still remain an arrogant, hobby hacker. But not too arrogant. You simply need my technical skills and I need the $$. Plus the job is often fu

I heard rumours that the current time of day is a very important input feature for various content recommendation engines (things like those deciding which videos to show on youtube's front page).

The act never ends. Surely, in a decade or two or three, SBF will be looking all innocent from behind bars and still unable to open his mouth without incriminating himself. I wonder how many others will be charged. This will be more difficu

Yeah, the point is this was much more than some accounting problems - looks like the intent (to defraud) was there as well. On a massive scale.

They did not "forget to hire an accountant". They took customer funds and did whatever they wanted with it. Just look at that hilarious "balance sheet" that was leaked, it's not even on the same planet as a balance

This guy is something else. He's one of the largest scammers in history, if not the largest, by the amount of appropriated funds. But he's also very "cute", I mean he cannot open his mouth without incriminating himself.

Yup, this shock comes from the wrong idea of money as some kind of a physical object that you obtain by performing work, whereas it's more of a different name for debt. It's a social construct. Also, you absolutely do not need any

It has happened in the 80s though. Soros (for example) has written a lot about this phenomenon and traded extensively on it, making a small truckload of money. It peaked in early 1985: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-sta

Yeah, and consider the effect that it has on the rouble: with lots of sales (of mostly energy) but nowhere to spend that money the rouble is actually likely to appreciate rather than depreciate. I'm referring here to the premature cele
