"The entire F-35 doctrine, the single most expensive weapons programme in human history, rests on the assumption that the aircraft is invisible to radar. Someone forgot to tell the Iranians the planes were invisible."

iso paper sizes are delicious: sides are 1:sqrt2 or about 1:1.414

A4 is 210x297mm

A4 folded in half is 148x210 or A5.

A3 is two A4s, or 297x420

go to A0 841x1189 or one square metre.

A-1 (A Minus One) is 2 square metres.

Australia is ~A-43

The visible universe ~A-179

A proton about A139.

A Quark? A151

Presumably A232 is one dimensional though, as it's planck length on the long edge.

Wenn man politisch nicht auf Linie ist, hat man plötzlich unerklärliche Misserfolge. Die Leistungen, die man wie immer erbringt, sind nicht mehr gut genug. Auszeichnungen, Beförderungen und Zuschüsse gehen immer knapp an einem vorbei, bis man sich freiwillig wieder einreiht.

So war es in der DDR, soll es auch unter der CDU so sein?

Git won't track empty directories (because at heart it only tracks files). Common advice is to add a '.gitkeep' file so the directory isn't empty and git will make the directory.

EVEN BETTER ADVICE: put a README in the directory explaining what the empty directory is for and what will eventually be there.

If you replace a junior with #LLM and make the senior review output, the reviewer is now scanning for rare but catastrophic errors scattered across a much larger output surface due to LLM "productivity."

That's a cognitively brutal task.

Humans are terrible at sustained vigilance for rare events in high-volume streams. Aviation, nuclear, radiology all have extensive literature on exactly this failure mode.

I propose any productivity gains will be consumed by false negative review failures.

New nail art!
