Yes, but they didn't get those probes to Mars without doing a number of midcourse corrections (heck, you can't even get to the Moon without doing midcourse corrections), so it's not like you can just enter a model and run with it. If you try to do that then you're going to end up way off target.

Which brings up an important point about all those climate models. Anybody who actually uses models to solve real-world problems will tell you that you can generally only trust those models so far. For anything long-term (where "long-term" can be remarkably short), you usually have to make the equivalent of midcourse corrections based on actual events. And for the longest time, at least, the climate change folks seemed far too reluctant to do that.

And this may still be a problem, because I'm seeing reports now that "our climate models have been remarkably accurate", while others point out that they haven't necessarily been particularly accurate at all. To add insult to injury, there appear to have been several instances now where, when the data and the models diverged, instead of correcting the models they adjusted the data instead, justifying this by declaring that it had a "cool bias" or whatever.
The following would be trivial to build in jinja2:

Even something polymorphic to render a template, then merge into a known dict, then output json would be easy. A signature that might look like:

{{ render_json_dict(foo, "foo.json")|merge(bar)|tojson|safe. }}

Not clinging on our opinions imply that said opinion is not much important to you. It is easy to make compromise over dinner meal. It is harder to move away from what you consider right in ethical sense or what is important for your self respect. Most couples eventually run into something like that. I don't mean something dramatic here, just personally important.

After all, you are marrying real independent person not a clone.

Also, it is true that when you dont involve emotions in relationship, problem solving is easier. However, that situation describes more work relationship then lifetime partner relationship. We are supposed to be emotionally invested in the whole marriage thing.

Venezuela is irrelevant to the situation in most of the world, its an outlier. Thats why it is a stupid argument for bitcoin. It would be like preparing for volcanoes in Denmark.

Besides they are using USD and foreign banks in Venezuela not crypto currency. The rich in Venezuela haven't lost a cent I am willing to bet. And last but not least: bitcoin doesn't solve a single systemic problem Venezuela has. Its a corrupt failed state that could have been a South American Norway. Technology won't save it.
Boo hoo, poor Micron. Seems there are some hidden costs to exporting all manufacturing to China. This has happened over and over (see because China often requires American companies "partner" with a Chinese company to setup shop in China:

https://www.chinalawblog.com/2011/04/fellowes_brought_to_its...

US companies like cheap foreign labor and manufacturing, but need to realize there could be a high long-term cost - one that could put them out of business. We Americans seem to have a hard time focusing on long-term results. If an action boosts short-term profits or the stock price, we do it.

only what you do really counts. Ideas really are worth less though not worthless.

It's a matter of degree right?

So for example Erdos didn't actually do anything - in the sense that we're talking - such as creating products or works of physical art. His mathematics are ideas. Which people then used, but critically referenced Erdos as their originator.

From what I can tell of Ted Nelson, the design and cybernetics ideas were obvious enough that many other people thought of them also, or were not so obscure as to be canonical. So like many ideas without fathers, it's whomever can create a product around them which get the credit.

So for example "Steve Jobs invented the iPhone." Anyone with even a shallow historical understanding of handheld computing knows that this statement isn't true in any concrete sense, but because Apple, under Jobs' management, popularized the smartphone the attribution goes as such. Many people thought of, and wrote about or made in science-fiction the smart phone - so it was an obvious enough idea (by then) that execution is what mattered.

Interestingly, if you push all the way back to writers like HG Wells, they predicted much of the technology we see today including smartphones, but they aren't credited with "inventing" them or even being important in their development really. So the right time, right place, right idea is still the combination needed to stand out.

This seems to focus alot on being a youtube alternative.

But for someone looking as something similar to youtube but locked down and only for friends and family it's a bit unclear whether this is appropriate (since so much is focused on sharing the content with other servers).

Also, for such a use case the torrent-functionality seems like a real downside but I can't find out if you can disable it serverside so that clients don't have to bother with it.
As someone who works as a "white hat hacker", allow me to shine some light on the industry. There are many branches, distinctly divided into two categories: Red team/Attackers and Blue team/Defenders. Within the attacking side is what most people think of when they hear "hacker", key among them is penetration testing (pentesting). Pentesting breaks down into distinct categories that target different scopes: internal/external network, web application, mobile app, thick client, IoT, SCADA, Social Engineering, and physical. The list shifts over time, but that's the gist of it. Those that interact with software/hardware rarely have the benefit of white box testing, which includes having the source available, nor do the tests often go deep enough to require subtle CPU behavior or assembly-level reverse engineering. All of these pentests are dynamic, where as what you've described falls under the static analysis camp which involves a different set of skills and tools.

There are some who work in reverse engineering, CPU interactions or static analysis but those are often more senior positions within a company, are more research focused or specifically marketed as such; my role as a pentester is focused on dynamic testing from a blackbox perspective. Sometimes we are lucky to have architecture diagrams, API docs, or source code but they only serve to benefit the test from an external perspective. I don't analyze the code and report vulnerabilities there, I report findings from a perspective of breaking the application in runtime; the code only makes that easier.

Anyone here wishing to break into security to "be a hacker" might find web app pentesting to be the most familiar for developers (it's not far from skills used for UAT, QA and debugging) and provides a pathway down the OSI model. There are companies that will take strongly motivated and technical people to train into pentesters, as the field is vastly understaffed and it's easier to train someone on your methodology from day 1. However, this normally starts as Web App (it's where the money and clients are) and one can move into other areas over time.

I'm more than happy to provide more details or resources to those interested. My knowledge is more in the attacker area, but its possible to start in either side and pivot into the other. Time, patience, and a willingness to learn.
That's overly pessimistic. Isn't it awesome that computers have enabled worldwide communities like this one? Asynchronous communication through text, enabled by computers, is also a great equalizer for people with disabilities and other differences. Blind people, deaf people, quadriplegics, people with speech impediments (e.g. stuttering), non-native speakers of the language, etc. can all communicate and work together, without even being aware of each other's difficulties.

To be fair, all of that was enabled by the earliest BBSes, and I guess we haven't made as much progress in the meantime as some people (like Engelbart and Nelson) hoped.
I don't understand that argument at all. Jsonnet generates JSON. Why does it itself need to be in JSON?

XSLT was brilliant except it was extremely verbose and difficult to use due to wanting to be expressed in XML.

XSLT as prior art demonstrates that Jsonnet made the right choice here.
It uses it very little, and specifically doesn't use GTK for theming. Its widgets and the scene graph handling are written using Clutter, not GTK.
Those devices must have very short runtimes on alkalines. Even a 0.2A load on an alkaline AA puts it under 1.2V for most of its discharge capacity[0]. That's not an especially high load; it's the amount that will drain it in 11 hours of use, but if the device quits at 1.2V, it will only run for 4.5 hours.

It would not surprise me to learn that the designers of a consumer electronic device did a bad job, but I'd describe not working with 1.2V batteries when a device is intended for AA or AAA to be a pretty major design flaw.

As a disagreeable giver, I have learned to accept a lot of things, mainly that I am widely misunderstood. A funny thing I’ve come to learn is to always seek employers who are themselves committed and passionate beyond convention. The gap between the results of finding such an employer and working for an average drone spans the almost the entire spectrum. Passionate people always get me, and I think they have been greatly rewarded for it. I will do anything for those people; I’ll even knowingly waste their time if I really like them, but that’s asking a lot.
My guess is modular will still be an option, if not the only option. x86 CPUs have really been PCBs for over 20 years. You are now starting to see a move toward SoMs take off in the embedded world, which combine the CPU and RAM on a module to simplify board layout. In the past, these would have been separate components that customers laid down themselves on their custom PCB.
Einstein was pretty shitty husband, don't take relationship advice from him. (He was good at physics.)

I have seen enough angry collegues to know that people in fact don't manage to not be angry in work. Plenty of them angry without being abusive or toxic for the record, but clearly pissed and venting or yelling.

Anger is feeling, it is not rational, compassion and listening don't stop it. Self control is about what you do, not what you feel.

Repeated discussions make sense and can bring you two closer over time. Bit by bit. Can make you two learn to live with difference. That quote is not true. I am very glad I did not divorced first time serious difference arose.
Thanks for your perspective. I think cost is interesting, because the cost of conventional building with air conditioning and heating doesn't seem to factor the long term earth or environmental cost. My suspicion is that these actually cost a lot more to maintain if cost to the earth and long term natural resources is accounted for. But I'm just speculating so far.
I would be surprised if most people don't still have a use for AA and AAA batteries in a decade. A relatively light user should manage a charge cycle every couple of years, and NiMH batteries have a useful life longer than 10 years.

Intel's EMIB is a specific design that is cheaper than a full silicon interposer.

As such, EMIB is a methodology which may enable chiplet designs in the future. Well, I guess Intel did marry that Xeon+FPGA chip earlier this year, so EMIB is deployed today. That's probably as "chiplet" as you can get, since the FPGA is actually on the CPU's cache-coherence network.

Alas: Intel's UPI (ultrapath interconnect) is designed for PCB boards. Its how 2socket or 8-socket chips communicate together. So its not really doing anything "special" with EMIB, its just shrinking down a PCB in some respects.

> My guess is that future APU will be chiplet based design as well.

It really depends on what the "sweetspot" is. Below a certain size, you don't get any yield benefits. While above a certain size, it becomes expensive... and then impractical... to build chips.

AMD's APUs are generally seen as low-cost cheap chips. At under 200mm^2, its likely that APUs will simply be more efficiently manufactured as single pieces of silicon.

Now, if AMD decided to make a "high end" APU, kinda like their Intel+AMD collaboration project Hades Canyon, then maybe that would use chiplets of some kind. From my understanding, the Hades Canyon collaboration project is just running PCIe however, so its not really a chiplet yet.
From Zero to Hero: Shaking Up the Field of Zero-Shot Learning
Of course, they do! Reverse engineering is the skill of being able to see how things are put together without having the whole picture. It's having an intuition of where to find the clues to solve the bigger puzzle. From decerning which chip to decode to find the encryption key, to deducing that a broken fan blade is the only item that could strike a window at high enough velocity to shatter it, the skills are the same. A software reverse engineer is good because they possess many of the same traits as other types of reverse engineers. It's just a matter of how they apply their skill.
Well this is getting in some rather unfamiliar territory to me, but a function like max(0,x) could be considered a polynomial in the max-plus algebra [1]. In this algebra the values kind of behave like the base-b log of a real number, with b taken to infinity [2]. If you replace b by a really big number you're just dealing with regular polynomials.

In this sense I think you could consider a big neural network with RELU activation a (really big) polynomial.

This is about the extent of my knowledge on the subject though, for more info search for tropical geometry [3].

I assume the copies in Debian and other Apt mirrors are safe?
That's true. I would recommend a regular charging schedule for such devices rather than waiting for them to complain about the batteries being low. A regular replacement schedule for smoke detector batteries is already a common recommendation from fire departments and insurance companies.

Rechargeable batteries remove the loss aversion associated with ensuring the batteries in a device are fresh, as there's essentially no extra cost to recharging a battery that may still have significant energy in it. Modern NiMH does not develop a permanent memory effect, and rarely even develops a temporary one.

High-assurance security has been pushing separation kernels to solve that kind of problem for a long time. Vendors even list automotive in their Solutions menus. Two got evaluated by NSA for security. I think NSA cancelled that protection profile because the hardware and firmware were having too many leaks to find a software solution believable. The boards aimed at that market are also increasingly complex. However, the separation kernels and virtualization platforms were the strongest thing produced for this goal with some still available.

Here's a good explanation of default, architectural style used in high-assurance security from a team that FOSS's a lot of their prototypes:

https://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/papers_ps/nizza.pdf

Here's a commercial one used in an automotive platform that got certified to high assurance at EAL6+:

https://www.ghs.com/products/safety_critical/integrity-do-17...

I'm not endorsing the [closed-source] product so much as the methods it claimed to use to get the job done. Look at the architecture, minimalist runtimes (esp for Ada), determinism, partitioning, and certification data on bottom-right. That last part hints at the kinds of things they have to do and get reviewed for the certification. If a developer claims to do security, ask to see the Covert, Channel Analysis of their product. That certification requirement/activity is how cache-based, timing channels were discovered in 1992 by VAX Security Kernel team among other leaks. Covert and side channels are getting popular again but most still don't apply storage/timing analysis.

You'll find that most developers and "security professionals" don't build secure stuff using methods proven to work in the past. Companies building tech like this sell it for high price since there's so few buyers. The networking-oriented ones started at $50,000 when I priced them. You can bet the big companies whose products are getting hit could've afforded them, though. Especially the royalty-free options.
To be fair a couple of those don't qualify as "if it goes down it would cause a prod outage".
