I really don't care about the technical or cleanliness arguments against MCP (which are valid). What I care about is that many companies didn't have APIs, and didn't see a reason to have them (niche, dev-focused use case, or

IMHO hiding details of the hack helps conceal that they built it to do what it did, and maybe were able to know it was working just as intended. The fact it keeps doing it, with more and more evidence, is a sign that it's built that wa

There's one flaw in the evidence for the logic chain. The hugging face attack is used to demonstrate three things: the need for oversight today (fundamental to the article) and to demonstrate some kind of drift or unexpected capability

It's funny. I always thought that writing was meant to inform, persuade, or entertain about the subject at hand . But in professional settings, a lot more of the informativeness is about the author, and a lot more of the persuasiven

That's true. It should never have happened. It was also quite possibly an accidental strike caused by outdated intel, even if the strikes were arguably part of unnecessary hostilities. But nothing anywhere in any of these increasingly

That is the colloquial definition of a double tap. That is not automatically the case whenever two missiles strike a target. The "follow up" hit requires a delay. The delay is not accidental - you want to give time for a crowd to

Yeah, the whole thing is based on armchair assessments to begin with. 1) I dont think all the involved military leaders are such cartoon villians that they would intentionally strike a school full of kids 2) I especially dont think they w

Do you resolve a difference between a double tap attack (one in which a delay is inserted to hit first responders) and just hitting the target twice in one salvo? What duration means "double tap" vs "ensure destruction of tar

reverse question: Why does everyone assume that only one missile is justified per target? I think this line of reasoning came out of the "double tap" strikes used in Gaza where a five to 30m wait allowed a crowd to gather. What w

From the videos, the missiles struck relatively quickly - what kind of duration between strikes counts as double tap?

Right, your position is defensible. I just think mine is too. I think that "indiscriminate" requires Unless otherwise provided, a person shall be criminally responsible and liable for punishment for a crime within the jurisd

The NYT - never a fan of trump - did an excellent analysis on this. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/us/politics/iran-school-m...

I have no idea why this is in scare quotes. It's a term of endearment, and I'm saddened by their deaths as much as anyone.

What is there to take seriously regarding this strike other than the facts as presented? There were 900 strikes in 12h, and only one target involved a strike on a school, and huge coincidence that target was a dozen meters from a military

Yes, the definition of war crime is not "intentionally targeted building" it is "intentionally targeted building that it knew was non-military and full of civilians". If you plausibly believed it to be a military target,

Your claim is that hegseth directed the US Navy to launch an attack on a building it knew to be a school full of kids for the negative headlines, because those negative headlines would distract from the Epstein files outrage?

I'll add the definition from the Rome statute that, by my read, establishes a war crime when there is intent to commit the civilian strikes: Unless otherwise provided, a person shall be criminally responsible and liable for puni

by jvanderbot 9d ago
Colloquially, I think it is well accepted that US launched the missiles. The question is whether they indiscriminately targeted civilians. NYT did an excellent analysis showing that the US probably did intentionally target the building, bel

I view it more of supporting an expanding use case. If rust gets popular then you'll want to support it.

Yeah, no notes. It's remarkable. TL;DR: Wired up an in-game predictor of RNG output and used it to only craft legendary items when RNG would line up to roll legendary. From base to legendary at a suprisingly high rate. Look very closel

Well given it took me 1 minute to type that, I consider it a loss leader.

This is 100% a valid workflow in DoD/ITAR fields. Suffer once through review, benefit eternally. It's especially important to get one good reviewed spec / presentation out, then all later reviews can be staged w.r.t. that on

You're right. In rust, IMHO, the problem is mostly solved by using system C libraries rather than trying to force Rust into something that looks like the optimized C/Fortran we've had for decades. In almost all cases, it&#x27

Very generally speaking, you want to view dissasembled sections. You can do this at the function level. In rust, try this: https://github.com/pacak/cargo-show-asm However, life is much easier now, because an agent know

I do this. I do this a lot . My job involves processing a significant amount of weather data and flight telemetry _very quicky_. What I have found is that getting rust to auto-vectorize is a nightmare. The options available to me have alwa

It would seem there are! The question is: Will there continue to be?

Of course not. I am preparing for a 30% cut in 3 years, but don't necessarily expect it. It's not a guarantee that any demand at all will go down, or that AI will do anything whatsoever to our job. Demand is up lately for senior d
