Sarah C. Paine, the professor of strategy and policy at the U.S. Naval War College. I'm not aware of what you're talking about.

That's 78% of farming-dependent counties, not farmers. >78% of any demographic voting at all would be a phenomenal step for democracy.

I liked a comment by Sarah C. Paine, about how Communism is a really great system for taking power from within a state (think Mao), and then staying in power, but it's horrible for generating prosperity. When evaluating the choices of

By "system", I was referring to the middleman infrastructure (Youtube, in this case).

Love the engineering, but it's kind of sad the hoops we have to jump through to get some semblence of owning our hardware or software.

A collection of newspapers is generally a better source than a single leaflet, but even a leaflet is a piece of history.

Enjoy the insight, but the title makes my eye twitch. How about "LLM weights are pieces of history"?

Do you find dumb TV software (dynamic backlight controls for example) and hardware on par with smart tvs?

Is hosting a Bittorrent tracker resource-intensive? Is paying for it a founder-level contribution?

Without judgment: I've started noticing how a different culture cannot imagine some phenomenon (e.g. some problem) not occuring in another culture. It's leading me to question what things I consider as universal constant that aren

I'll use the opportunity to thank everyone for Hacker News: YC, the community, and dang. For me, it's been a special place with a special culture. No other community has provided me intellectual and social stimulation so consisten

From what I've heard in interviews with fighters from other units (Lindybeige ones come to mind), which is hearsay I grant you, they're not Nazis, much less worshippers of Nazis. A few bad apples, or some such.

Their insignia has the germanic wolf that is clearly meant to resonate with WW2 german, Nazi military symbolism. In its early days they had leaders that were overt Neonazis. No one is denying that, and I have no love for the far-right. But,

"War against Ukraine"? That's the first time I've heard that phrased that way from a non-Russian source. What have you been reading? Aren't you whitewashing Russia's invasion of Ukraine? And, to call Azov an ex

I've recently heard it said that there's a better alternative to Discord called Gilded, but no reasons were provided. Anyone has insights?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Interesting read. If you wrote a more detailed piece with more speculation, I'd love to read it.

Awesome. What are you doing for creativity these days?

Do you discount the impact of drones, or did you put a lot of value in them before the war and still do? I find the tactics around using expendable troops to attrit expensive troops a bit humbling too.

I have a pet theory that most inefficiency is about self-consistency (or lack thereof), whether that's in human-human or human-machine communications (e.g. program code).

I wonder if anyone else thought that that's how most of the world worked when they were a kid. I thought that most people would reason through everything, and if they couldn't, they would take it home as sort of homework and finis

You called defending against an invasion with maximalist, genocidal goals nonsense.

If you're saying that someone is lying, you should be more upfront. Who do you think it is?

I heard this interesting take that the administration's current political strategy is to saturate the media with meaningless news (like this), by taking headline-oriented actions everyday, thus silencing the opposition and the mainstre

I wonder if I'm in the minority in not caring about Firefox's privacy subtleties, as long as I get good extension support. I just want a different browser vendor than my ad and video vendor (Google).
