In which Paul Buchanan references claims that Chinese forces have been wargaming an invasion of Taiwan for 2027.
I don't doubt that they are wargaming this possibility. But we have to ask, what would motivate the CCP to expend resources claiming a tiny island, which they've happily coexisted with for decades under the One China Policy?

@decryption if it has a GFCI outlet it shouldn't be a problem. Also you should watch Alec/Technology Connections video about EVs (on YT)
@ketmorco does it contain anything not covered in this blog post I wrote? https://blog.decryption.net.au/posts/everything-about-ev-charging.html
once i understood princeton university as a fundamentally evil force in the world everything made much more sense
Furthermore, we present an error reduction algorithm for these codes. That is, an algorithm that, given a codeword corrupted by adversarial noise flipping a constant fraction of its bits, outputs a message that agrees with the original message on at least (1 − ε)-fraction of its bits, for ε an arbitrarily small constant.
this is pretty thoughtfully designed!
(Here, following standard terminology, we refer to the non-binary code as the outer code and to the binary code concatenated with it as the inner code.)

The road through Glen Torridon, heading towards Liathach yesterday.
The thing about getting rich and famous for doing stuff better than other people, even ALL of the other people, is that it's literally in no way related to whether or not you're a butt-beaming asshole. In fact to some degree extreme talent often seems to shelter people in which it is identified at a very young age and they can get some dumb ideas. If you want to say a celebrity did good by raising awareness for a cause, cool, but we shouldn't be asking these people how to run a society.
I’m not an electrician or a plumber, but running an extension cord through a storm water pipe to charge your EV seems like a bad idea?? Just don’t buy an EV if you’ve got nowhere to charge it

@decryption How did they even thread it through the pipe in the first place?!
I am somehow skeptical.

My editor just upgraded me to the Dark Woke tier so I can now call my enemies:

Can a beginner/late-bloomer visual artist have a nice enough following without the Instagram/Facebook/TikTok/Bluesky profiles to earn some regular money?
Do I really have to use a hostile, anti-human platform that's Instagram if I want to regularly sell my artworks?
How could I do it without presence on any of those absolutely horrible places and not be broke AF?

I've been job searching since April, without much luck unfortunately.
If anyone is looking for a linux sysadmin with 10+ years of zfs, proxmox, Ansible, and xcp-ng/Xenserver experience in Kitchener-Waterloo, or remote from Canada, I'd be grateful to be considered.
