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.

Oddly enough, this also coincides with the time when the US military was more explicitly about offence rather than defense. After the Revolution, people mistrusted the federal government having a large standing army. The army was raised up in time of war, and everyone went home when it was over.

Post-WW2 was the first time the US kept a large army in "peace". Been that way ever since.

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.

IPv4 centralization creates far more privacy issues than everyone having a static IP. The solutions are still things like VPNs and onion routing.

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.

"Rhinorrhea". Literally diarrhea for your nose. TIL.

With what economy? Russia has a yearly GDP of $2.2T. Going to spend 50% of that on defense in one year? Or are we talking over the course of 10 years? At which point the geopolitical situation will have changed and Putin will likely be dead.

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.
