Those comments are also written by people. People who get frustrated when their tools don't work as they expect, mislead them in certain regards, cause them more consternation and confusion than seems necessary. (Feel free to caveat the preceding sentence with "as they see it", as you see fit.)

It would be great if everything worked as we expected, and it would also be great if people reacted to things not working as they expect with Vulcan rationality, but that's not the world we live in. Empathy runs in many directions, and the people who perceive their tools as impeding progress rather than abetting it deserve it too.

It is my hope that your perception of "a lot of great feedback" is genuine.
Put your phone in your glove compartment, or on the back seat.
Two reasons: more bandwidth, and more coverage in a specific region. One of the biggest downside with a LEO constellation is that only a few satellites are covering a given area at a time. Most of them, by far, are over water, where there's likely little to no usage. So because of that design, do you have to launch a lot of satellites to make up for the lack of throughput in the single areas.

Yes and that one is easy: I wrote a little piece of code (in Clojure, whatever, it's unrelated to finding the solution) which would check at which intermediate result the computation was and then compute an "ETA".

Fun story: I'd regularly send my brother something like this...

{

Meta-Sim: Learning to generate synthetic datasets
OK, I can understand that's not the point you were making. I thought you were saying that because at many fast food places they are literally cooking them in animal grease.

Many fast food places (McDonald's, Wendy's) use a flat surface similar to this:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cc/Flickr_X...

Typical ground beef is 20% fat (80% lean), and if you cook it on that, the fat will melt, it will hang around on that surface, and whatever else you cook next will be cooked in animal grease left over from the beef patty.

If you flame broil, the burger sits on a wire mesh, and the grease drips away.

I'm not just picking nits. I'm really trying to make a sincere point that I think one method will have significantly less transfer (not zero) than the other.

Is there any evidence to suggest that humans have ever preyed upon other apex predators?

I'm finding it hard to imagine humans would hunt down wild dogs / cats for food.

Additionally, if lab mice can voluntarily run 10km in an evening, doesn't that alone shoot holes in this theory? My understanding was the theory indicated humans could outrun grazing animals.

A quick search shows the Australian Kelpie can run 60km in a work day, and apparently the Australian Dingo has been know to travel 40km in a day.

The problem I have heard isn't so much latency but path to profitability. Unlike GEO satellites, LEO based internet is not going to be fully operational until a significant number of satellites are up there to provide continuous coverage at a single point on earth. Financially, this makes for a very front-loaded-capital / debt-intensive business which will falter unless subscriber numbers and technology all pan out exactly as estimated.
Exactly what I expected, glad I checked the comments before reading the article.
That's a lucky coincidence for now, not the reason for doing it. Historically, automation did the opposite and put human assembly line workers on mind-numbing repetitive tasks. Robots these days often do more skilled tasks like welding, painting, and machining while humans do simple assembly. The interviewee in the video suggests that the balance could shift in the future too, presumably to eliminate all the human crane and straddle-carrier operators.
The article is about how companies are using rosé to describe a flavor. Might be bullshit, but it's the companies that are misdefining rosé, not the article.

The puzzle is based on a paper from 1996 by Rivest, Shamir and Wagner: https://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/pubs/RSW96.pdf

Each step depends on the result of the previous step. I don't know of any claim that the crypto/maths behind the paper do not hold.

You can use a FPGA or build an ASIC: but as far as I know as long as the crypo in this paper hold, it's not parallelizable.
I believe:

LEO - Low earth orbit (close to the earth)

GEO - Geostationary equatorial orbit (further from the earth, more efficient in terms of energy required to maintain a fixed position[1])

SOL - Speed of Light (a limiting factor in fiber optic communications - and over the air communications as well)

[1] From reading a bit, maintaining a fixed position relative to the ground at lower altitudes involves a constant velocity adjustment in the form of fuel expenditure - the equilibrium for each orbital period corresponds to a single altitude, so different orbital periods (when minimizing fuel usage) imply different distances.

No consumer will worry about latency or any other component of the physical feat of delivering internet via Starlink. Consumers are currently buying downstream bandwidth by the mbps from one or maybe two providers with no other options. Only technology oldheads who remember satphones and Hughesnet will worry, then research, then try it out for themselves. Starlink has the added benefit of being very easy to give a “consumer trial period.” It will sell itself, in the USA at least.

> Turning off overcommit (and swap) does improve responsiveness but is not a viable option for a desktop system

Back when I got my first SSD I ran Linux without a swap file/partition. I did this partly because it was only a 60GB SSD so I wanted to conserve space. I also did it because I didn't want to shorten the life of the SSD with (this was back when such a thing was a concern) and I ran that set up for years on a pretty modest 8GB RAM with KDE installed (ie not just a lightweight tiling WM).

> unsurprising since a proper version needs FS integration

It really doesn't and apfs (your file system in OSX) doesn't even do this. In fact it's probably better that your meta-data indexer isn't embedded into your file system driver because you're just going to slow down file system operations - which matters a lot on UNIX-based platforms because they do lots of file system operations.

A far better approach is to have your indexer run as a separate process that monitors file writes (you can still have a kernel hook for that if you wish) thus you can then catalogue your files without interrupting your normal file system operations. You can also add more granularity like separate database per home directory (which would be much harder to do securely if you were embedding that code into the fs driver without then going down the route of having multiple tanks ala ZFS). It also makes it much easier to optimize your meta-data db since you can now dump everything into a RDBMS rather than attached to the space constrained inodes.

For what it's worth, this is another area I have first hand experience with because I've written a few hobby file systems over the years. Nothing serious nor performant; just myself messing around with a few ideas. But it's still earned me a greater appreciation for the design decisions behind the file systems we do commonly use.
AWS CDK seems nice
The people studying this have generally advocated a layered defense. First, people dig up the strange stuff on the surface if they have a use for it (although it should be designed to make this difficult, expensive and not especially useful). They don't have to be especially advanced to do this, maybe. Second, perhaps they develop the ability to dig deeper and they discover more elaborate warnings. Eventually, they get to the equivalent of a vault where they've received plenty of warnings and, one hopes, are savvy enough to interpret them and make an educated choice as to whether they should proceed. (there's an assumption that wisdom, caution and linguistic ability might grow in a future society alongside the ability to prospect and dig, which might or might not work out)

The strange spikes and so on are just one possible approach. Simply hiding the stuff a mile under some salt can work and at least one site does that. I think you're going to see a ton of stuff hidden that way just because it's the path of least resistance once the regulatory permissions are secured (which is hard enough). I think this approach has been written about in the NY Times and so on.

Everything about that scandal was stupid. In an M rated game (recommended for 17 and older), the protagonist could date women, be invited into their homes, and then the player would hear the sounds of the characters having sex. Fine, whatever. The game also allowed the player to sleep with prostitutes on the street to regain health, which would either cost them money or, if the player completed missions to become their pimp, earn them money.

The revelation that, in addition to those kinds of sex, a crude sex minigame could be revealed, if one made a bit flip to a config file with the help of third party software or hardware, led to:

* $21 million in penalties.

* The city of Los Angeles suing the company.

* A class action lawsuit whose initial plaintiff was a lady who bought the game for her 14 year old grandson, which would end with 2700 claimants being compensated.

* Hillary Clinton calling on the FTC to "take immediate action."

* Senator Lieberman, working with Clinton, proposed a law making the sale of violent games to children a federal crime.

I was lucky enough to tour the equivalent facility in Australia. They learned pavement wearing the “hard way” realizing the robots were much more consistent than humans. As such they would actually shift the entire facility a little bit each day (as movement allowed).

Not a bad thought. Though I think it had some problems that they already considered.

They mention not wanting to overstate the danger ("touch this and you die") in case someone touches the rock and does NOT die, putting doubt on the whole message. I think that poisoning the area creates a similar risk.

If you poison the area then you run the risk of a future civilization cleaning up the obvious poison at the surface, thinking that the message refers to only that poison. This would leave them thinking that the area is safe after their cleanup.
It is nice to think that 3% of programmers know Rust, but we all know that number is at least two orders of magnitude too large. It would be impossible to defend a claim that 3% of programmers know that Rust is a language.

Is it time to seriously start worrying about Kessler Syndrome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome)?

The individual satellites might degrade relatively quickly, but a collision cascade could make the system unfeasible for years at a time and a certain percentage of the garbage would be kicked into higher orbits.
Your going to have to give a lot more details than that blanket statement because I have been following starlink closely ever since it was announced.

Oneweb is their main competitor who has already launched test satellites but they are going to launch on other companies rockets which are much more expensive than spacex's especially now that spacex is getting reusability down.

Amazon just announced their constellation plans and they either have to launch on expensive non-spacex rockets or have to use blue origin which while they are planning to have fully reusable rockets, those are still years out.

What are the other 3 companies that will be out first and/or have higher throughput and/or how are Amazon/Oneweb better?
Elon should really do a John Henry if he can afford to set it up. Run a head-to-head data-transmission with checksum validation in some theatrical setting. For bonus points he could (if it's possible) run a self-driving car demo where the computation is being done and relaid by a LEO uplink.

Also, I hear what you're saying but... Right now the Algorithmic traders all use fiber and new fiber is constantly being rolled out to support even lower latency connections so I'm skeptical - if it was competitive wouldn't G&S be using it to contact the London stock exchange? Or, is it that fiber can produce lower latency in idyllic scenarios but that congestion pushes the latency beyond that accomplishable by an LEO setup for us plebs?
I have a friend who just started working on the assembling of these satellites and they are hiring like gangbusters. I was initially dubious that they would be able to make their number goal but they have people working 6 days a week 16 hour days to scale up to this goal. 4000 is a huge amount of things to build that you can shoot on top of a rocket. Not sure the longevity of the hardware.
I don't think it's a conspiracy theory, these things happen all the time.
