It's not difficult - Iran must be balkanized if Israel is going to conquer the Middle East and expand its proper borders to "those promised by God". They will demand a regional empire beyond their borders as a "buffer zone".

The Eschatological Christian Zionists want them tp destroy the Al Aqsa Mosque and build the Third Temple so Jesus can come back. Much of the Senior Brass at DoD (or Department of War Crimes) believes in this.

Is it all absurd and crazy? Doesn't matter, it's what motivates the people with nukes.

That and Trump being blackmailed with Epstein Tapes. The news says it's specifically an audio tape of a phone call between those two.

This is what the people who want peace in the world are up against. We can't counter what we deny.

> when your investigative toolkit is journalism

Exactly. The English Majors went where other investigators have previously gone and ruled out.

The stack of blockchain, Merkle Trees, halvings, etc. show a level of insight a quantum above Hashcash.

There's noting wrong with being "quite good" but "engineering genius" is something different.

Besides, Satoshi would never have stood for not funding mining with txn fees. The BTC chain is in danger of being unmineable very soon.

I bought some paper books from Amazon in 1998 and they still work like the day I bough them.

Excellent support after 28 years.

When you have a product made from leftover rejected parts the supply is guaranteed to be limited.

So you hype it as "for a limited time" and people go hog wild with FOMO.

coming soon: "The Neo is Back."

Yeah, "LLM's are gods" and "statistical ML networks are good at finding defective code patterns" are extremely different claims.

The people who are True Believers on both extremes look pretty silly.

I appreciate really good closed captioning while having no use for chatbots. Both ends get to call me a heretic!

Just watch the patches and CVE's trickling out.

It's not like OpenBSD is going to sit on a vulnerability for 90 days or whatever.

Issuing a patch doesn't give away the details about how it was found.

To be fair I just wasted a week tracking down a radio telemetry problem because of a forum post that many people said worked great but it definitely pulled a pin high that was supposed to be low, which shut off an antenna.

Only diving into the spec sheet and some sample embedded code convinced me that the forum post was exactly wrong and after making a simple change to do the opposite did all the telemetry devices mesh up and start reporting correctly.

So ... how does 90% compare to human content?

A wrinkle is that everybody knows humans are flawed and too many people treaty the LLM as omniscient.

Why should anybody care if this drives electric bills up to $1000/mo for the typical household?

We have unlimited energy, no?

Dipshits aren't creating a global energy crisis right now.

The world economy isn't headed for a global depression.

Natgas should be burned for LLM hallucinations and cats driving motorcycles, not converted into fertilizer to stave off a massive African famine.

Western woke governments haven't spent the past fifty years blocking new energy generation at every opportunity.

Right?

Don't invite the guillotines, dudes.

Why not notify their electric company to cut their power to halt infringement?

Or their water company so the house is uninhabitable?

The Courts need to recognize that Internet has become a necessary utility and that the music companies need to deal with the individual directly through the Courts, not in a lazy clandestine way.

Grande seems based.

The LARPER had mail underneath the plate. More I do not know/remember.

The plate you saw in the museum with the dent, might have been a test shot. In Europe it was common to deliver plate armor to customers after they got a dent by a test shot.

Armor got kind of less relevant when people recognized that you can have an unarmored group of riflemen out maneuver old school guys in heavy armor. And unfortunately the people with the guns upgraded to artillery ...

I expect that 30 years from now, we'll find all sorts of expensive systems becoming less important versus just massive numbers of drones. definitely.

Just look at the 3D voxel art they do with drones that have some lights, or the drones flying directly into the barrel of an enemy tank. Does not need to destroy the tank or kill the crew. Gun gone, tank useless.

Under perfect conditions, perhaps.
In general: no. No way.

No where in the world (except perhaps your place), it is legal that a balcony solar plant feeds into the grid when the grid power is gone. In Germany it is explicitly checked when you install one.

The ones I know from Thailand are imported from China: they all switch off when the grid power / frequency is gone.

You would manually need to bridge that ...

I know people with these meters have been charged for unintentional export because they for example had the CT installed backwards.
That does not make any sense. Electricity does not work that way.

No idea.
If you mean tank: depends how big your tank is.
If you mean battery: depends how big your battery is.

The distance is 572km ... so basically every electric car and every gasoline/diesel car should make it.

However: if you mean with Tank a Panzer ... then one tank would not get you very far. As Poland and Germany is now allied ... I assume, yes you can go with one Tank with renewables from Berlin to Warsaw.

Perhaps you should learn what full stack development means. Java or Scala etc. on the backend and HTML, JavaScript on the front end: is not full stack. It is two half stacks. Facepalm.

The rest of your rant is pretty pointless, did you just google Vue.js etc. or did you know about them in advance?

You use frameworks to write less code.

It is a difference if I have to write 1000lines by hand for brain dead simple html nonsense, or only 100 lines, easy to read which are backed up by a framework.

Point is: Java in the browser does not exist since 20 years.
And the other point is: JavaScript - and if you do not like its type system, use TypeScript - is an EXCELLENT language since over 20 years.

The "browser wars" and JS does not work in this browser as supposed and that browser: are long ago history.

And if you do not know how stuff works: don't invent stupid shit like "developer is running to boss and tells him how you suck".

Since decades we can minimize JS and only package what the browser really needs. And yes, of course: for that you need to know what tool to use. And that tool will with 99% certainty be written in JS or its derivates and run on node.js. /DISCLAIMER: I have nothing to do with JavaScript. I am a Java, C++, Dart programmer. And even I know this shit ... and you don't.

People shit talking on /. about JavaScript: are simply braindead mindless drones who never read "news for nerds, stuff that matters", stuck in their 1980s fake knowledge.

No one in our days can still claim that JS is on the niveau of 1997. Hint: it is not.

And a 200MW gas turbine is only 200,000HP.

What exactly is calling it what it is disproportionately?

Car engines in most of the world are not classified by HP since decades, probably since 30 years.

Obviously we know that a normal car has an roughly 100kW engine. And 1MW is obviously roughly 10 cars.

No idea what is wrong in your brain.
