Having read the memo–which is basically meeting minutes between the DoD and DHS-- it’s seems to be missing an understanding of how much Trump is disliked up and down the ranks. They ultimately did almost nothing in LA. The birthday military parade had clear signs of everyone phoning it in on purpose. Signalgate convinced all but the most diehard MAGA soldiers (not as big a group as you might think) that this leadership is a bunch of clowns.

What this means is that the White House still overestimates how much the military is in their pocket. Good.

From Ur-fascism:

Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

What’s missing from the analysis is that they can’t objectively evaluate their own forces, either. As much as they go on about strength and fighting and war, they’re actually really bad at it.

I don’t think I’ve met #1 in real life, besides knowing more than a few of #2. The first one just gets really loud on the Internet.

Chicago is already a reasonable place to be car free. Much more so than most of the US.

You’re doing Glados’ work. For science. You monster.

For a good 25 years now, the Republican party has treated reality as a messaging problem, not something to grapple with and use in planning. The only surprise is that it took this long to fire people in the federal government who didn’t give the “right” message.

Where are the Republicans that still hate Russia? They’ve been very quiet for the last decade. Wherever they are, I see no reason Trump would care about them.

Giving funding back to Ukraine is concrete action.

Your first paragraph can be true while also having a recent falling out.

16M devices on one network would almost certainly have major scalability problems all its own. SMB chattiness alone . . . shudder.

In fact, it’s so standard that there’s a bunch of shitty code out there that thinks 127.0.0.1 is the only loopback address.

I’m thinking of a networked Chinese laser cutter that we put on our 10.0.0.0/16 network in the makerspace. It seems to think that 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.2.1 are on different networks. Wouldn’t be surprised if it does a similar mistake with loopback addresses.

Their relationship has changed. I don’t think Trump cares about Putin anymore. The pee tape being released (assuming it does exist) won’t harm him, and Trump no longer relies on Putin’s funding or social media manipulation for elections. Trump got most of his funding for the last election from Elon and people who know Elon, and now Trump can create other ways for foreign influence to launder money to him (such as the Trump cryptocurrency).

Meanwhile, Trump feels directly snubbed that his “deadlines” for a Ukraine ceasefire have been ignored by Putin. That’s why you see renewed funding for Ukraine.

Narcissists can be very deferential to people they see as equal or above them on the social hierarchy, and Trump likely saw Putin that way. But not anymore.

It’s a threat to her. Cooperate, or we’ll do what we did to Jeff.

Since they’re fundamentally predicting the next token, and there isn’t a lot of training data out there that would actually do this, I wouldn’t expect that LLMs are going to start putting in lookalike characters. They only lookalike to humans.

That said, you could probably poison their training datasets this way.

Simple answer is that Unicode is a design by committee attempting to make every single human written language work. It’s more complicated than it needs to be, but we also don’t want to redo all the work it would take to replace it with something more sane. Especially KJC languages. Trying to get those three to agree on anything is for people who deal with frustration better than me.

There is something there, but mostly I think existing net admins try to map their existing IPv4 knowledge onto IPv6. That doesn’t work very well. It needs to be treated as its own thing.

That’s nothing that can’t be done with a good set of firewalls on IPv6.

I know it’s a joke, but the idea that NAT has any business existing makes me angry. It’s a hack that causes real headaches for network admins and protocol design. The effects are mostly hidden from end users because those two groups have twisted things in knots to make sure end users don’t notice too much. The Internet is more centralized and controlled because of it.

No, it is not a security feature. That’s a laughable claim that shows you shouldn’t be allowed near a firewall.

Fortunately, Google reports that IPv6 adoption is close to cracking 50%.

President Lula demonstrating insulting someone while being classy.

Maybe he should try Viagra rather than firing people in order to get hard? Seems healthier.

The arguments are, at best, a reason not to have Rust as the primary language in the kernel. Implementing new hardware drivers or platforms is still viable even if you accept everything here.

They will once the rule is unevenly applied in their favor. Which it will be.

It’s not a matter of have to. A political office in TN is a notable step down from SecDec. There’s nothing he would want to accomplish there that he couldn’t in the White House. He wouldn’t be talking about it if he thought his position was secure.
