22k nodes for 12M req/s?!

Seriously, what the hell. You can have 1M req/s on a good mid-range VPS or bare-metal server. Fine, have 3-4 for redundancy.

Even with that, you'd be more than well served with 50 strong nodes.

Why so many?
I'm talking circus geeks, they do things like eat chicken heads for alcohol/narcotics.

https://silverscreenriot.com/del-toros-nightmare-alley-a-sor...

What you're describing is called an internet troll.

I'm unsure whether geeks often travelled with the troupe, though. Men hopelessly addicted to drugs were probably desperate enough for money and easy enough to come by that you might not bother dragging one with all the other performers. Especially since addicts tend to behave unsettlingly and steal stuff to feed the addiction. Talk about local talent.

What did the error correction report -- is it valid on a byte level? They might use a new highlevel encoding, but I doubt it, and they are certainly not re-inventing the error correction level. This stuff is hard math and there is no value in re-inventing that.

The higher level might be encrypted to prevent fraud, but that would show as valid on the error correction level.

Other than that, my first guess is that the image shown there is not an actual data matrix code but a fake image made for the web site.

On a second thought, they might have used a simple pseudo-encryption (read: security through obscurity) on a lower level, such as flipping the inner pixels. But then again, this means you cannot use standard tools for anything, so I doubt it.
If there is an increasing number of people (including older people) with immigration, healthy birth rates and extending lifespan, not increasing the budget at corresponding speed (let alone keeping it static) is in all ways that matter effectively cutting it.
New Zealand does not require ID at the voting booth. We would generally be considered to be near the top of the list for "remotely democratic countries".

Australia doesn't require ID either.
Your body really doesn't want to be in some states (because you'll die) so certain markers/metabolic disease states like NAFLD and pre-T2D MetS will lower dramatically soon after the insult (chronic overfeeding) is stopped. RCTs have shown dramatic improvements in as little as a week or two. In my case, both my elevated AST and TG numbers halved a month into making significant lifestyle changes and almost all my bloodwork continued to improve dramatically into my next labs at 9mo and 1y.

That isn't to say there isn't accrued/long term damage, I think most people going through this sort of change will tell you that they are still dealing w/ health issues long term. I've notice that years after my initial interventions, my body still seems much more predisposed to weight gain for example - but trust me though, not feeling like crap is it's own reward. You can basically get used to anything and you don't really realize just how bad you were feeling (slowly getting worse over the course of a decade or so for me) until you turn it around.

IIRC part of the problem with the Max was that since it was based on the 737 it bypassed a lot of processes that a brand new design would've had to go through. Both on the regulatory and pilot training side (eg a pilot who was already qualified on other 737 variants would get a fast tracked and probably inadequate training)
I think your are right about society adapting to this tech, and I don't think these AI technologies can or should be contained.

But. The Photoshop argument is a bit tiresome. AI will bring about a fundamental shift in content creation and it will disrupt how we treat media as a whole.

Photoshop and other manual technologies are naturally gatekept by the required skill, effort and source images. Once AI media generation matures, all that goes out the window. Anyone will be able to convincingly fake anything with almost no effort and zero traceability.

That shouldn't be downplayed. The concerns are real.
Facebook stopped burning VC money a long time ago. They've been wildly profitable for years. Their success is largely because of paying high salaries to attract some of the best people, not in spite of doing that.

The real issue seems to be that they're losing $3bn a quarter building the Metaverse (eg Reality Labs) at the same time as losing ad revenue because of things like Apple's antitracking changes and failing to innovate Instagram allowing competitors like TikTok to eat a big chunk of their market.
That is the definition of an economy.
The automated system collects the exact same data as the non-automated one.
The Data Matrix spec allows certain rectangular sizes, they are just not used often.
And - in all fairness - enriching yourself only is the side-effect, the major other output being "there now is a (more) desirable place".

People want to live at increasingly more desirable places, and that is true even more so for people who cannot afford to: If such desirability was no object in their quest, Detroit would be full of people, the Bay Area wouldn't have so many issues with housing, and housing prices would be a non-issue.

If the alternative is "everywhere sucks equally", which is the likely outcome of a national-level central planning, I doubt you will find many takers.
Can we stop it with this bullshit.

There's no such thing as election integrity in america and there never has been. Everything they say about the previous election is probably true. Everyone involved in elections in the united states is biased, and just like everything in politics, people will resort to dirty tricks, do whatever they have to do and are in it for themselves. It is nothing new.

Everyone arguing for mail in and absentee ballots is doing it because they want to use them to cheat. Everyone arguing for or against anything wants the rules to favor them in some underhanded way, every single rule in very single system was decided to enable some official's preferred method of cheating.

Multiple presidents have stolen elections. Every house seat is gerrymandered to protect the incumbent. Election officials in the south used to throw black votes away. Politicians in the north used to pay poor people to travel around a city or state and vote multiple times 50, 100, 150 years ago. It has always been this way in America.
Just a wee bit of snark?

I recently bought a "t.racks DSP 4x4 Mini" which is an inexpensive hardware DSP box capable of the same. I just have it sitting between my soundcard and some active speakers.

I don’t know enough about the Amish to know either way, but I do think that someone’s rights shouldn’t be predicated on their historical participation.
I don't want anybody to be down voted on this thread, so I am up voting you.

All voices should be heard.

Pasting from another post:

There are citizens in the United States that do not participate in our culture to the extent that they do not have IDs.
One might think of Amish communities, but many are averse to regulation.

They are citizens, and they should vote if they wish.

We should find some method in the technology to continue their participation.
There is no magical playlist that will let you focus more on your code. For some people it can cause less focus when listening to music. (I can't listen to any english hiphop while coding because I get distracted by it)

I work at Intel, so I can tell you with some authority that you are mistaken.
I worked on a transactional email infrastructure where we used to send 50k-100k emails at a time and a few million a day. We used inky and juice to customize email generation and caching partial templates using inky worked out well at scale. Only problem was with all the fallbacks, some emails used to get large enough and gmail used to clip them at the bottom.
https://get.foundation/emails/docs/inky.html

Not sure if the framework is as advanced. But, seems to solve a lot of basic issues. Surprising that providers like sparkpost or ses are not able to solve generation at scale problem with templates.
I'm not sure I follow you here. It takes 12+ years to permit and construct a nuclear power plant in North America. This isn't a matter of opinion but of observed reality. They take on average 7 years to build with a 5+ year long permitting process before ground is broken. So unless you're proposing the government imminent domain a bunch of reactors into existence I don't understand what we're even talking about?
Personally, I think it looks beautiful. I hope it works. Generation 3 of the flying wing. A worthy tradition and a genuine problem to solve. Also, for the record, I think military operations get a different category on emissions. Yes they pollute but just hope they aren’t dropping ordinance. That stuff really pollutes.

I live by a major cargo hub airport with occasional military traffic. The occasional C-5 Galaxy doing a few touch and go practices, a pair of F-18s or trainers. The airshow is this month and I’m lucky to be at a waypoint for the aerobatic demonstration team. Last year Super Hornets at 500 feet for 3 days. Heaven!

Can you imagine how gorgeous the photo would be of this refueling a B2? Or dust off the last up to it Sr71 and buzz Ukraine and Crimea for an afternoon. Yes it is all ridiculous but most military might is proverbial dick waving in the first place, so might as well add some confetti and glitter to the mix.
A do high school senior photography, so I tend to get tagged when they post photos.

Let me tell you, there’s an opposite side of that coin. I’ve yet to see a girl post photos without tens (or hundreds) of comments on it telling her how pretty she is, worded a billion different ways.

Yes, even with the girls that actually aren’t pretty. It’s nice to see, and I’m sure it makes them feel great.
The thing that makes Zig comptime radically different is that types are comptime values, so you can make functions that take types as arguments and return new types as results - it's like C++ templates on steroids, yet conceptually simpler.
> I can never remember all the flags and syntax.

That's a feature, not a bug.

If you find yourself often needing a specific arcane sequence, then wrap it up in a command (shell alias, function or script) so that you don't have to always have to type `-r -v --bad-copy -c -m`.

If you find yourself always needing a different set of arcane flags, then wrap it in a wish script or similar (I've made a pomodoro alarm that generates notifications using nothing but zenity).

With GUIs, OTOH, if you find yourself forgetting down which rabiit-hole-menu an option lives in, you're simply out of luck.
You might like this project https://www.spertilo.net/ which started as the Grateful Dead Time Machine.
The reason I started contributing to open source was to learn new skills. It was a great way to work on real world projects and gain experience.

The project I was working on was community driven to a large extent. We had users and contributors from around the world and being one of the core maintainers, I basically had no quitting time. I was working around the clock and did not have any boundaries. I had a lot of work in the project. I was writing code, reviewing PRs, hosting community meetings, discussing project roadmaps etc.

After some time, I started working on open source full-time. I was paid by a company to work on their open source project. We had a bigger team and it made my life a lot easier. I had well defined jobs and I did not have to worry about other aspects of the project like I did before.
Yes the airport was expensive, not least because of the location, or the need for extensive groundwork.

Yes there were issues with getting it certified because of the unexpected wind sheer.

None of this negates the value of a Internet cable. Indeed it doesn't negate the value of the airport in extending the local economy.

Given the remoteness of the island, and the low population, things will tend to be more expensive than in other places. That doesn't mean we should just ignore the place.

If we develop rural areas in general with good transport and digital links, we encourage populations to disperse and not just congregate in cities. Which imo is a generally good thing.

Yes automated passport machines are very much still in use here in the UK.

Personally I use them 2, maybe, 3 times every trip before queuing up again to have my passport checked manually. :P
> Why would they sell

In many cases, they don't, they just walk away.

Would you stay in a 500k 2000sqft house that you have no equity in, when a 300k 2000sqft house was for sale next door? In a non-recourse state?

And even for principled people, when you lose your job or fall behind on something you overpaid for, it's really easy to just walk away.
This could be a game changer. The security issue needs to be addressed but if this can be manufactured and operated affordably it could be the last push to decarbonize the economy (save for flight, which could use "green fuel").
There are so many features royal mail could add to letter/parcel delivery that users might want to pay for, and would cost them nothing. Eg.

* See what mail is headed your way. They could have email/text/app notifications of mail that's headed towards you, including a picture of the outside of the parcel and estimated delivery dates/times.

* The ability for the receiver to pay to prioritize incoming mail. Sometimes you're sent something with slow second class mail, but then realise you really need it urgently, so could pay to 'upgrade' to express service.

* Auto upgrade all mail headed to you if you buy stuff online and hate businesses that send stuff with cheap shipping.

* Perhaps an x-ray service so you can see inside parcels - would be handy for businesses that do returns who need to check the real goods are headed their way.

* Super express services. Pay £500 and we'll dispatch an employee direct to your address with the parcel, and it'll take the driving time plus 10 minutes. Operationally it's only the same as the employee going home sick midday.

* One off redirect services. 'I'm at work today, send my parcel there'.

* Allow adding delay. 'Im on holiday, don't deliver any mail for me this week, I don't want someone breaking into my house to steal it'.

* Allow binning a letter before it even arrives - for spam and junkmail. Maybe have automated spam filters which can be enabled (and binned items can be held for a while before being actually destroyed in case of classification error).

* Allow understanding names of people at your address - eg. "Return to sender any mail addressed to Fred Smith, he no longer lives at my house"

* Notifications that the postman is 5 minutes away and has something too large for a regular letterbox. That means the postman won't have to wait so long after ringing the doorbell.

* "Letter to email" service. If you ask, they open the envelope and scan and email you a pdf of the contents. Then you get the info faster, and is also helpful for people away from home, businesses that need a mailing address but have no employees to deal with mail, etc.

All of these services would be free/cheap to implement, and each could be a chargable service that earns the company money.
>where nobody really cares about the personal arc of the actor

Speak for yourself. Actors do have fans, and a lot of them. Their personal lives are subjects of interest for a reason.

So, no, not totally different at all.

The people of the United States are sovereign.

As such, we can require transparent and accurate elections if and when we choose.

This choice must be exercised by elected representation.

No political power in the United States can resist this force, when it gathers.

We are sovereign.

The shock factor wasn't the death count, it was that the American homeland came under direct attack from overseas.

For those unaware, the US has historically had very few attacks on the homeland from enemies who are not immediate neighbours. Off the top of my head, the second-most recent example before 9/11 was Japan attacking Pearl Harbor and the Aleutian Islands, and dropping some balloon bombs(?) on the West Coast during WW2. Before that we would go all the way back to the War of 1812 with Britain sacking Washington and all that.

When the country historically is not used to having the homeland threatened, that shock and revelation leads to kneejerk reactions of the "how fucking /dare/ you" sort.
A big part of entertainment's appeal is having an experience/frame of reference to share with other people. Personalized entertainment doesn't offer that.

But there is a claim that not distributing guns to other children or giving them detailed instructions about how to get guns is more responsible than the reverse.

Said "public research" didn't come with a requirement to release anything you build on top of it. This would pretty much be the research equivalent of compelled speech. Luckily, not happening.
Some examples would be Ada, Lua, Pascal (and derivatives like Delphi), XQuery.
Yeah the jam band scene is still alive and mostly well. I kind of got out of it a few years ago but I'm still friends with many people in the scene. It maintains a stronger following in the Eastern and Central US from what I remember.

> On the one hand, I’m happy to see young people enjoying the music I was into nearly fifty years ago (I attended my first Grateful Dead concert in 1973). On the other hand, shouldn’t young people be into newer music?

I hear you. I'm overjoyed to see young people listening to classics but wonder when the next Jerry, Zappa or Jimi will emerge. The music world is much more image conscious than it was then, however(video killed the radio star...) and the market is much more fragmented now. That said, there's a ton of great new music. It's hard to tell with my old ears what music now will have the staying power of the music we love.
Clever solution! It kind of reminds me of when I sometimes run sound through customized EQ and compression to compensate for crappy speakers. My approach is not quite as scientific as this though, just "tweak until it sounds good."

I didn't know there was a version of MPC with a live shader editor, that is also very cool. This is actually a pretty good use case for such a feature.
Children have poor decision making ability, you cant educate them. Teenagers and just under, perhaps, but children no.

You may assume or think your children are special snowflakes where they can be taught this (as children) but their underdeveloped brain has shown through multiple generations that they will continue to make poor decisions.

Your argument rests on "everyone else is doing it", which is not a strong enough reason.

If we're gonna talk of stuff in the pipeline, don't forget that nuclear Gen 3 reactors can actually reuse current waste and reduce it by up to 90%.

Currently those reactors only exist as experimental reactors, so it's fair discounting them. Same as it's fair to consider the waste generated by wind since the vast majority of blades end up in landfills. Even though on theory they needn't.

I've found Logseq and Previously Roam work well in that they are low friction in recording information, but I'm still able to find information when I need it (most of the time). The nested block system means it's pretty easy to link concepts together without having to find the right place to put information. This ease of workflow helps me to be more creative, in that I can add a note quickly and move on, with out having to search, prune and deliberate on a 'PKM'.
Unless you want to leave an unmaintainable nugget of code for the future dev, you would use something that is actually in use and backed by someone relevant, not a shiny new thing.

The three you mentioned got over the hump by corporate backing. In particular Rust got in force thanks to Mozilla, golang to Google and TypeScript to Microsoft.
Big guys sometimes make an abject irrelevancy or failure (e.g. F# which didn't quite catch on, old stuff like Visual Basic) but usually at least the support and visibility is there.
You are allowed in the sense that police won't come to your door with bracelets. The court of public opinion has and will always be open 24/7 ready to sentence you to your fellow citizens contempt.

In this case the contempt is well deserved. One doesn't just "throw stuff out to get the discussion started" regarding an ongoing genocidal rampage complete with rape and torture camps. It's in poor taste. Nobody cares what Elon wants because except interjecting himself uselessly into international politics he is irrelevant.
Your evaluation of the price might not scale linearly with the money amount, making it a fault to focus to much on the expected value.

Example 1: you own the mafia 1 million dollar, pay tomorrow or die. You have absolutely no way to get the money before the deadline. You have some money though, and the winner of the lottery gets 1 million. Your expected value(in $) is negative, but the chance of surviving is no longer 0 if you play the lottery.

Example 2: you are a normal lower income person. You have no real chance of getting rich, or even comfortable. You can save the 4$, and maybe buy a slightly better TV every 3 years, but it will make no real difference in your life. Winning e.g 2 million on the other hand would lead to a qualitatively different (and better) life. Its not that 2 million is 2millon/4 times better than 4$, it is just incomparable. One leads to a completely different life.
