This is sick. People, the man is dead, and none of us will ever know for sure how big his face was.

Does it support unit dependencies? That’s pretty much the only reason I use systemd outside of work. Edit: ah yeah it sure does. I know what I’m playing with next weekend.

Ludicrous claims, rambling non-sequiturs, and outright lies; sounds like anyone who tuned in got exactly what they could have expected.

The presence of A-10s suggests that Iran’s strategic air defenses have been destroyed or greatly suppressed. The plane is more vulnerable to air defenses than fighters.

I don’t even know what to make of this statement. It’s such a bizarre thing to guess about. It could very well be that this is entirely for optics!

Thank you! It was a good read, and raised some points that hadn’t crossed my mind.

I’m not normally a huge fan of the economist, but I’d be genuinely interested to hear their perspective on this (if I could find an archive). They are a pillar of the fiscal conservative camp, but they tend to be quite insightful on international politics.

I have been wondering if this is the focal point in the US / China power transition. Iran is not just another tiny state the US can muscle in on, it’s a global economic and population power, and its influence in the region (most obviously on shipping trade) hurts everyone. The open question is whether it hurts manufacturers or the Petro dollar more, though I suspect it’s the latter.

Awww c’mon who could’ve seen that coming

I wonder if there’s going to be a point in the future where we all look back at this massive over-investment and kick ourselves for making so much expensive electronics waste.

It’s the missing GitHub status page.

GitHub is teetering on one 9 over an entire quarter. There are serious, systemic problems in Microsoft’s shop.

How have I never heard about Kanopy? This looks so cool!

This line of thinking would make a lot more sense if there wasn’t a long, storied history of Trump completely ignoring sycophants when they’re not immediately useful to him. You’d expect someone like Carney to know better. It’s enough to make a person physically cringe.

Makes sense to track this since it’s one of the fastest growing consumers. I think it would also be interesting to track who is buying power infrastructure and in what quantity. Even basic power poles are backordered for years, so I shudder to think about the economic impact of a data center for a blank check tech company clawing in everything they can.

For top left I’d like to humbly nominate SCO Unix.

Like anyone who’s been paying the least bit of attention, I was wondering “wait, what’s new here?”

In a letter sent Tuesday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Raskin said the documents point to a broader risk to national security, writing: “These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests.”

This is more interesting than the headline, in my opinion. The claim that they “pertained to his business interests” is not exactly the same thing as selling them to the highest bidder. It suggests either that Trump’s businesses are the subject of intense scrutiny by the fed or, more likely and more worrying, Trump is much deeper into brokering sensitive information than we expected (as in, it’s one of his main sources of income).

See, this is why openai can never go public: if it has to open its books, the music stops.

Disney does not have the luxury of teasing its investors with billion dollar deals-- every quarter, they have to report where they’re stacking their chips, and any cute shit will get them sued and investigated at a minimum. They probably expect their peers to meet them halfway on that.

Openai is not a serious company. When a major prospective partner like fucking Disney wants to open a billion dollar account, what possible excuses could a real company have for not figuring it out?

At least pushing it is free :)

I’ll be honest, after we pivoted to Afghanistan from Iraq, I assumed I’d never see American boots in Iran. It is inspiring to know that someone has the hubris to go where no one before him dared.

I assume you mean radio frequencies, and the answer is basically none. A grounded fireproof safe is basically a perfect faraday cage.

EDIT: Ok, I actually have a pedantic answer for this. If you put a microphone on a device inside the safe, you can signal it from outside by sending it vibrations, and you could encode a message in binary and thus technically send it a “digital signal”. If you wanted to be a little more analog you could use Morse code :)

Probably yeah. A fireproof safe will be airtight, so the system can only produce as much energy as whatever reagents you put inside.
