I dont think anyone believes Iran is worried about the people of Lebanon. The point people are making is that for some reason Iran has all the power in a supposed cease fire and used that power to add requirements that were not possible to enforce by the US. US was outplayed and outsmarted by a supposed "lesser" nation. Now when the US makes "defensive attacks" on Iran when Iran once again closes the straight due to Israeli violations (even though they were not part of the MoU), it further erodes the US moral high ground.

Cost has nothing to do with it. This was all laid out in the project 2025 manifesto. Burn it all down with no regard to money previously invested. Makes it harder for future administrations to rebuild. Halting the collection of data is not enough. Maintenance is 5% or less of the cost to deploy new. If they destroy it, it makes the cost to rebuild (including having to re-seek congressional approval) that much harder and time consuming.

if (and a BIG if) you are california, you can get a library card to any in state library, regardless of where in the state you live. Between San Francisco, LA, and San Diego, I think I have pretty much the full suite of anything I can borrow from the eLibrary system.

I have a fondness for map making and I enjoy your style regardless of digital or physical media. Have you ever created an article on your process? I'd be interested in reading about your flow.

I do not think there are any hand drawn maps. From what I can tell, its Adobe fresco with digital watercolor and digital copic pens. Still looks great, but there is a lot of confusion on the process.

I still return to O3 often. I enjoy metal detecting and O3 has been excellent at identifying unknown finds. It will spend 5-10 minutes in python adjusting the photo, zooming, cropping and manipulating it to get a better understanding of the object. And it's guesses, though not perfect, are often spot on. Newer models will never manipulate the photo and usually give a "guess" within 30 seconds. The guesses coming from the newer models rarely are even in the ballpark of the item.

It will be a sad day when O3 goes away.

Thank you for this excellent idea. I tried this today. Plugged in my daughters favorite games, asked claude code to develop some web games based on her own preferences. Coded up 3 web games that she has now been playing for almost 45 minutes, practicing her multiplication tables. I refined them to allow server side stats, so I know which games she is playing, where she is in her practice, and utilizing spaced repetition. She has never been able to sit down and work on i-ready for more then 15-20 minutes at a time at home. Big win. I choose exactly what she is learning and practicing, she gets tailor made games that appeal to her.

they are likely going to try to take Kharg island. Trump suddenly started talking about this as a target in the hours preceding the announcement of the deployment. He gives away everything that the US is about to do if you pay attention to his truth social posts.

Funny how this pops up on hacker news today. I have been working on an off and on again project in the same vein. But instead of sanford maps, I have been ripping and downloading GLO surveys. I now have about 3TB worth of 200k+ mid 1800 surveys done by the USGS (GLO at the time). My next step was to create a method of presenting this data. Do you think that your OHMG would help me here?

Its a similar problem that you faced, stripping off the extra image data from the map, then overlaying them on a base map. I might have a slightly easier time, since these surveys mostly line up to existing township/ranges of the PLSS, not at individual house/street level like the sanborn maps. I've manually done the process many times, most in ArcGIS, but have used a few others (like oldmapsonline). Your site was new to me, and the presentation looks great.

Here's an example of the type of survey I'm working with. https://www.oldmapsonline.org/en/maps/06317a09-5426-41e0-aa8...

There are times you can politicize an issue. A flood that killed a bunch of young kids at a summer camp is not one of them.

This is the same argument that is made after every single school shooting in America. How dare we seek solutions after tragedy. Lets just stick to thoughts and prayers

AFAIK, there are several reasons for the increase in autism diagnosis, but a few key ones people forgot about...

1. DSM IV, the old way, had a separate diagnosis for many autism related disorders. Think Asperger's, pdd-nos, etc. When DSM V was released, many separate diagnosis were umbrella'd in to autism spectrum disorder. The old disorders simply disappeared and are not made any more.

2. Getting an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis opens up a huge amount of insurance and educational leeway. You go from qualifying for general therapy to intensive support therapy, classes, and more. At school, with the diagnosis, you get expanded help for kids that are really struggling. So there is a strong will created by parents and educators to try to get that diagnosis. When you are struggling, this extra support can really help everyone, the kids, teachers, and parents.

These two points alone may account for a lot of the increases we are seeing. I don't know why they are never mentioned by media and the skeptics.

  New trade routes and spinning up local production will take time (likely longer five years) so the consumer will pay a price.
The main issue I see is that in 3.5 or possible 1.5 years, a new president ( or laws passed through congress ) will just vacate all Trump executive orders, tariffs in included. So that $100 million you invested in a new factory that is 3/4 built? Sorry, tariffs are gona and now you are out $100 mil. Why would any corp assume that risk?

Yea, I got tired of people attempting to make comments like this and wrote a script to quickly analyze past comment history to see if they were truly being honest.

You have consistently and reliably posted your political views here. Please don't try to pretend that you hate the political discourse now that people are critical of your guy.

30% of the US aid goes to ukraine for immediate local purposes, think humanitarian and and economic relief, the other 70% goes to us defense manufacturers, directly supporting american companies who then send their stock of weapons to ukraine. This 70% that goes directly to US companies is counted in the total aid provided

I prefer kagi's approach. If I add a "?" to the end of my search query, I get a LLM response at the top of my search results. Any LLM response includes source links to quickly verify the information presented. So, if I am using search engine to quickly check a fact, say "What year did Tremors come out?" I get the following at the top of the results:

Quick Answer

  The movie Tremors was released in 1990 12. It is an American monster horror film starring Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward 12.

No, the CHIPs act was a direct result of Covid-19 highlighting the fact that we do not posses the ability to produce the amount of chips required by both private companies and federal agencies. When trade from China basically stopped, companies were scrambling to source the chips required to continue production. CHIPs was an attempt to solve that. What if the next emergency is not a natural disaster, but a consequence of wartime action. Our weapons needs those chips.
