Inflation means hardship.

Iran is the first conflict in many years that might inflict tangible suffering on the American people.

When dealing with the Middle East we keep underestimating the amount of hardship the people I these countries can endure or be forced to endure.

If a movie costs O(Billion) to make, you need to be sure to at least earn back 1.x times the investment, the only way to do this is to play it safe.

What we need to get independent is the public infrastructures.

That has nothing to do with current tensions between Europe and the US.

It’s just unbecoming of a nation to depend in its core on the good will of another.

I tried it works wells. I can do the same thing in my Linux machine, but even my 12 year old now can get perplexity to build him a tool to compare ram prices at different chinease vendors.

I needed it, I quickly build it myself for myself, and for myself only.

Seeing people in Israel, Iran, the general Middle East as well as the Ukraine live in fear of drone strikes might have incentivised this person to come up with a potential way to deal with these threats.

Cheap air defense would equilibrate drone warfare again:

Currently drones are much cheaper that the systems that take them down.

Most people I know don’t use their actual skills anymore, but all of them shrug off whatever you throw at them at work without blinking.

No matter what you do you are bound by that. As soon as you uncertainties become of the order of the systems scale you cannot predict.

You might push from 1 lyapunov time to 3 or use ensemble methods to get probabilities, but the fundamental impossibility remains.

Age of the scientist does not matter.

They did not.

They showed that for certain problems one could not do more than figure out some invariant and scaling laws. Showing what is impossible is not failure.

For the rest: Modern gene networks and lots of biological modelling is based on their work as well as quite a few other things. That’s also not failure.

I agree that modern AI is alchemy.

For SQLite the actual product is the test-suite and the audits.

Sure you can use the code all you like, but you only ever get past quality gates if you use the audited and provably tested version.

This becomes just more relevant in the age of ai coding, where an agent might be able to reimplement your specs.

Keep your code open, but consider moving your tests.

Mozambique and Angola are together to small to be replacement for Russia. In addition both already supply the European gas network and thereby Germany. Shortening supply will always increase prices.

German politicians are indeed a reflection of their people, as it’s suppose to be the case.

That would have helped us to reduce co2, but not to get independent from Russia.

Also: Natural gas is used heavily in chemistry and the steel industry, electricity alone does not help, although I admit not raising the point in the previous comment.

In addition the current government is pro fossile fuels, and parts of it are the same south germans that keep building natural gas power plants.

Those plants play an important part in driving up electricity prices in the whole country, since the same people that insist on using natural gas also refuse to split the country into electricity price zones.

Essentially companies get some of the money back they and their employees paid as taxes.

But afaik both are related to the same conflict.

The current hypothesis is that a left wing group triggered the outage in “protest” against Germanys involvement in the war.
