It used to be that to use any kind of software you would have a paper manual explaining how to do everything in detail.
Then it moved on to the manual being on the computer, why not, it had the added benefit of being searchable.
Then it moved on to being fully online, slightly annoying since you can't figure stuff out without internet, but OK.

I have some critiques of "Fighting in the Streets." The last chapter would get you killed. The coms advice are absolutely terrible, which makes me question other elements of the book. But it does provide a framework for thinking about what a militant resistance looks like, and what framework needs to exist to make it possible.
It's a short read, and worth it for the thought experiment. You can read TM 31-210 all you want, but it won't do anything for you without the social framework that makes more than one attack possible. It always comes back to community building, even if (especially if) you're wanting to make sure militant resistance is an option on the table.

Learning how to psyop Third World populations with Manual of The Mercenary Soldier
archive.org/details/PaulBalorM

Your best psy-op is that which seems to demonstrate to the enemy as well as your people that the enemy has lost control of the situation. You can be pretty sure that by the | time you go in, the bad guys have had things going their way. And you’re not going to reverse that with words alone.

Remember . . . you’re not going up against an open Western society or one of the West’s sloppy, half-assed Third World client states. You’re going up against rebels or a regime which is totalitarian in…
tunity to “build bridges to the people.” Unfortunately, building that bridge takes too long and it is too easily blown. Your opposition gives lip service to civic action— but he practices “grab ’em by the balls and yank. Their hearts and minds will follow.” And damned if they don’t!
Sample psy-op:

Your conflicts always throw up little local despots in the countryside. They may be the rural police chief, a militia captain, guerrilla leader, even a local religious figure. They may be on either side. Or no side. What they have in com¬ mon is that they’re vicious, detested by the local people they oppress. Select one. Take him out. Visibly. Hoist his body in the village square.

And, of course, broadcast the fact. Now you’re really in the hearts-and-minds business.

Your best…
Not for you any cold, colorless recitation of facts. You’re not the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Marti. . . . Come on strong. Speak passionate truths! Feel free to indulge in color, symbolism, folklore, histrionics, and invective! You have to not only inform—you also must entertain.

But never forget: Third worlders are realists. They have to be. They’ve been exposed to the application of raw power all their lives. They want to survive. They’ll accom¬ modate whoever is able to app…

Proc3D: Procedural 3D Generation and Parametric Editing of 3D Shapes with Large Language Models

arxiv.org/abs/2601.12234 arxiv.org/pdf/2601.12234 arxiv.org/html/2601.12234
arXiv:2601.12234v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Generating 3D models has traditionally been a complex task requiring specialized expertise. While recent advances in generative AI have sought to automate this process, existing methods produce non-editable representation, such as meshes or point clouds, limiting their adaptability for iterative design. In this paper, we introduce Proc3D, a system designed to generate editable 3D models while enabling real-time modifications. At its core, Proc3D introduces procedural compact graph (PCG), a graph representation of 3D models, that encodes the algorithmic rules and structures necessary for generating the model. This representation exposes key parameters, allowing intuitive manual adjustments via sliders and checkboxes, as well as real-time, automated modifications through natural language prompts using Large Language Models (LLMs). We demonstrate Proc3D's capabilities using two generative approaches: GPT-4o with in-context learning (ICL) and a fine-tuned LLAMA-3 model. Experimental results show that Proc3D outperforms existing methods in editing efficiency, achieving more than 400x speedup over conventional approaches that require full regeneration for each modification. Additionally, Proc3D improves ULIP scores by 28%, a metric that evaluates the alignment between generated 3D models and text prompts. By enabling text-aligned 3D model generation along with precise, real-time parametric edits, Proc3D facilitates highly accurate text-based image editing applications.

Wow, I sure am glad we have such diversity in the CSS world and that AIs consider all of the options fairly, instead of hypothetically being hyper focused on any specific library.

Which UI styling approach do you prefer?

  1. Tailwind + shadcn/ui (Recommended)
     Tailwind for utility CSS + shadcn/ui (Radix-based) for accessible, customizable components. Best native feel
     with full control.
  2. Tailwind + Radix UI
     Tailwind for styling + raw Radix primitives. More manual work but maximum flexibility.
  3. Ionic + Tailwind
     Ionic provides native-quality components and transitions out of the box. Heavier but purpose-built for
     Capacitor apps.

»The origins of the exact dimensions of Letter size paper are lost in tradition and not well documented. The American Forest and Paper Association argues that the dimension originates from the days of manual papermaking and that the 11-inch length of the page is about a quarter of "the average maximum stretch of an experienced vatman's arms."« 🤡

Just looked at my sisters car, the check engine light came on. My stupid ODB2 reader still works, even though it came with a Windows XP disk for a manual. The error code was P0420 which I think is just a "your car has 100k miles and will have this problem now" kinda thing. I got cold outside so we are making plans to look more later and figure out if its a sensor or the catalytic converter. Either way, P0420 exhaust code still cracks me up. Someone HAD to do that on purpose.

DEFENSE Secretary Pete Hegseth has refused to release unedited video of a U.S. follow-up boat strike.
The plane used by the U.S. military to strike a boat accused of smuggling drugs off the coast of Venezuela in the fall
was painted to look like a civilian aircraft,
a move that appears to be at odds with the Pentagon’s manual on the laws of war.
The plane,
part of a secret U.S. fleet used in surveillance operations,
also was carrying munitions in the fuse…

Word and Excel vs LLMs.
Secretaries became executive assistants, their role evolved to higher-level coordination, communication, and decision support. Accountants gained the ability to do far more analysis, strategic planning, and advisory work. The tools eliminated tedious manual tasks, but the roles themselves weren't eliminated. They were elevated.
The same pattern applies to programmers. LLMs can handle boilerplate, generate first drafts, automate simple tasks.

🔥Ensuring a Postmark on the Date of Delivery:
To assure a postmark is applied on the same day a document is delivered to the USPS,
individuals must utilize specific retail services.
The final rule outlines the following methods:
Request a Manual Postmark: Customers may present a mail piece at a retail counter and request a "manual (local) postmark". This postmark is applied at the time of acceptance, so the date aligns with the date the USPS took possession…

To ensure you get a postmark that reflects the day you mail something, you’ll have to go to a post office counter and ask for a manual postmark.
This may affect the eligibility of your mail-in ballot, or tax payment

working-class Americans are fed up with a political system that does not understand their lives.
They are right. Today, fewer than three percent of members of Congress come from the manual labor and service jobs that most Americans work,
