Take $5 from your wallet to pay for a sandwich. That bill is a capability.

You can't accidentally give away your car when you do it. You can easily delegate the giving of the $5 to someone else safely.

Example 2

Take a file on a floppy disk for an IBM XT and make a backup of it. You can hand that backup disk to anyone and your original is safe.

You can use that file with any random shareware disk from your user group meeting and in no way could it cause you any more loss than the disk in it is on.

A disk is a capability.

Solar-Centric Improving Exposure Estimates for Coronal Mass Ejections
Good drip is stupidly close to pour over in function anyway.

There are things you can do to improve it massively, even with a $20 brand-less drip machine from walmart:
1) Make sure your coffee maker is free of old, dry, rancid coffee or coffee oils, and not clogged with scale
2) Use really good water.
3) Grind your own coffee
4) Buy coffee you enjoy, which might be a national, name brand, cheap bag of beans, but there's significant flavor and style differences in these different brands! Try several different ones. Some lean acidic, some lean earthy and bitter, find your personal preference

Now we get to the "over fussy" stuff depending on how lucky you are
4) Use a concical bur grinder instead of a blade grinder for more consistent grind and extraction
5) Play with your coffee to water ratio. Everyone has different preferences here
6) Rinse the paper filter for your machine before use, or replace with a reusable mesh of some sort if you like your coffee more "sludgy" like cold brew or french press
7) "Pre heat" the water. Lots of drip machines don't heat the water very well in the beginning. My machine has a feature where if I keep the top open, the water recycles back into the tank so I can let it run and heat itself up. Alternatively heat up your water before brewing.
8) Let the grounds degass: remove the carafe or otherwise block the basket output, let hot water drip into the grounds until they are mostly submerged, and stop water from going into the basket. Let the grounds steep in the hot water for like a minute, then continue the brew as normal. I find this helps reduce acidity personally
9) Put a pinch of salt into the pot of coffee. Salt has a bitterness blocking effect that you might enjoy
10) check the output spout of your brewer into the basket. It can help to add some sort of "diffuse" so all the water doesn't just dig itself a hole into the grounds. When you go to empty the basket, it should look like a very even bed of grounds that got even water mostly all over

In fact, Dmitry V. Arzyutov, a historian at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, wrote earlier this year that Russian paleontologists he interviewed about woolly mammoths “had tried to fry mammoth meat, but it had turned into a smelly liquid.” Not that this has stopped certain mammoth hunters. In the recent woolly-mammoth documentary Genesis 2.0, one expeditioner even chews raw Ice Age meat on camera.

“It looks for me like a common practice among them,” Arzyutov added to me in an email. Male bravado, he suggested, may have something to do with it.

> One can request a passport and receive it the next day from a machine without ever seeing a real person for more than 5 seconds…

This seems more like properly functioning government than advanced digitalization. I have no idea what takes the US State Department 6 weeks.

In fact, I'd guess the internal processes to issue a single passport are quite fast and that there would be no issue with achieving turnaround less than a week. The issue seems to be that the US Government regards any government function that takes less than a week to be "wasteful" or "overfunded" and reduces resources accordingly. Slowest wheel gets the grease, so to speak. It doesn't pay to be fast -- literally.

>No that misses the point. Turning off JS might not be impossible, but once it became inconvenient enough, more and more sites came to fundamentally depend on it and became impossible to use without it. So if you turn it off, lots of the web becomes unbrowseable.

Sorry for the late reply.

Actually, I am very much aware of this. Mostly because I default to browsing with JS disabled and don't enable it unless it's required for the content on a particular page.

Often times, I just don't even bother enabling JS on pages that require it and move on without viewing whatever "important" information that can "only" be displayed with JS.

So yes, I am aware of the overuse of JS. That said, I can't control what tools/frameworks website developers use to create their sites.

And since I am not a big fan of running arbitrary remote code on my devices, I choose to limit the ability of remote sites to do so.

Is that a solution? No. But asserting control over my devices is the only option I have.

Well, aside from raising a few tens of millions to start a web development training academy to teach the world's web developers that they shouldn't use JS to do simple things like displaying static text or images, and that all computing required should be done server-side and not on the client, unless the client affirmatively consents to such code running on their device.

Unfortunately, I'm guessing the VC world has little interest in such an endeavor.

As such, I'll continue to do as I do WRT JS. It's not great. Heck, it's not even good. But it allows me to at least attempt to retain control over my property (in this case, browser-capable devices).

I take other steps too, such as using DNS block lists (PiHole), egress filtering, browser containers/private tabs as well as various content blockers.

Those steps may turn out to be ineffective in the long term, but hopefully I'll be dead before that happens. I will continue to employ and tweak those methods until they aren't useful.

My devices should do what I tell them to do, not what web developers want my devices to do. While those things may be the same, I'd like to be able to decide that for myself.

Some color about buying home internet in London vs San Francisco (in my experience).

I recently moved back from London to San Francisco. In my 3 years in central London (N1) I had to use a 5g hotspot (thank you, Vodafone unlimited) to get anything close to fast internet in my flat. If I went with a wired "broadband" connection I could not get more than 10Mbps down. The street next to mine had gigabit fiber though.

The reason? Almost all utility cables in London are underground. So replacing internet infrastructure requires ripping up the street. I lived on the high street near a tube station so I guess they hadn't laid a new line near me in 10+ years. I was really shocked after calling 15+ internet companies and finding out that nobody could offer me higher speeds. Only different prices.

Now I moved back to San Francisco and I was excited to get some fast internet in my home. Quickly it became obvious that Comcast was my only real option at my address. They had plans up to 1200MBps down, but nothing over 20Mbps up! And 50%+ of the plans had data caps. I find a 1Gbps plan with a 500GB data cap hilarious ... theoretically you could use the entire data cap in ~75 minutes if you could saturate it. That's a lot less than a month!

So basically internet is a disaster in both countries but it sounds like this is a step in the right direction.
A raspberry pi pico would probably fit in the space available and have all the capability you might need to run mycroft on it. The pi pico has 26 gpio pins which should be plenty for what you need as well. And it has a usb on-the-go port.
in my experience you're better off just going with a USB camera most of the time. it's a cleaner abstraction point and supports more hardware and operating systems.

> You get symmetrical speeds with fiber, but if ISPs could use the existing fiber infrastructure and allocate 75% of the bandwidth as download instead of 50%, that would be a win.

That depends on the fiber access mechanism. GPON is usually 2.4 G down / 1.2 G up TDMA over a shared medium. The downstream direction has perfect synchronization because it's a single sender, but upstream synchronization is more difficult across the many terminals, so they use a lower speed to compensate. I don't know what the common fiber connectivity models are in the UK though.
Anecdote is not data, but I have a fiber connection and I pretty much never use the upload bandwidth I have.

If you write a lot, you should already have plenty of material. Don't start from scratch every time. Whatever information or notes you have should be your starting point. I have an archive of notes and thoughts with hundreds of thousands of words that I can draw on. For me, writing a document is more about pulling together the stuff I have, not about creating new stuff. Of course, I don't just jam together my notes, I have an outline or structure in mind, and craft the finished document by editing and organizing.
Wifi is unreliable and laggy, and forcing everyone in an apartment building to use it for everything is a recipe for disaster. Same for 5g.

As for access panels and pipes, the article reads:

I enjoyed Jon Stewart's the Daily Show as much as the next person, but this article makes me really appreciate how much I dislike all of its successors. The whole "Progressives Yell At the Camera About Things They Read on Twitter" genre is thoroughly saturated at this point. And criminally unfun. Even Jon Stewart's new show I have found to be unnecessarily doomful - not only does it host it's own fair share of misleading stories, crackpots, and pitchfork sharpening - it's just not fun.

I think the thing all of these shows are forgetting is the Daily Show was FUN. In spite of "Stewart taking things personally."

The Daily Show was literally a parody of the pearl-clutching, panic-driven serious news shows on cable at the time. They brought levity and lowered the stakes.

Instead these shows have become the "serious" shows.

Some napkin math:

- peak queries are 2500 requests per hour

- some repos are 4gb in size

- let’s round and say 2000 requests at 1gb = 2000 gb/hour = 48000 gb/day

- AWS bandwidth at $0.02 / gb = $960 / day = $28,800 / month

So, one of the richest companies in the world is charging you nearly $30k monthly because they cannot be bothered to be polite. Would you be ok with that situation?

If you have basic metal working facilities you aren't far from being able draw wire and then you can make relays. It might take a while to replicate Konrad Zuse's machines but I think that it might be simpler to do that than go for purely mechanical computers, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z3_(computer)

Very much (e.g. timing data, counts like success and error counts and operations should be metrics). If not metrics, then traces. If not metrics or traces, then business events (e.g. like alerts, audit records). Almost everything that people put in logs actually belongs somewhere else, in my opinion. Which is evidenced by so much of log processing being about turning logs back into whatever it was they were supposed to be in the first place (metrics, distributed traces and business events).
Unfortunately some bioinformatics tools require multiple passes over the FASTQ. Spades is an example of this.
"probably" but not always. I have worked on a few projects that saved 70-90% of costs for AWS -- but these all were starting from a position of auto scaling out a ton of ec2 (on demand full cost instances) to batch process huge amounts of data. In both scenarios by optimizing the batching to align tasks to pack as much as possible into (just short of hour long) hour long windows and converting to a (wide list of ec2 types to avoid contention lockout) spot instances there was easy fodder for the improvement.

But yeah -- no one should see their bill change by that much without understanding exactly what was done to trigger it. Even in the best cases, there are always tradeoffs that must be known and accepted.
The effect applies to all particles, but it does matter what kind of particle you shoot because the sizes involved become very different. Apparently, the effect has been demonstrated even with molecules of 2000-ish atoms - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-019-0663-9
Logging is kinda a mess in general for contextualization. Most that support it use kV tupled appended to the log line itself. OpenTelemetry is probably the best hope of supporting a world with contextual logs, metrics, traces which imho is a good thing. OTEL logging does some opinionated things with message construction though, so caveat emptor.
To be fair, a lot of cloud deployments are not optimized for cost, and it's easy to rack up big bills without really needing to.

I once bought a knife set at walmart with 20ish pieces for less than $20.

I have a smaller collection of Henkels for day to day use but I never got rid of the cheap ones because they are fantastic when I don't have the right Henkels knife and don't want to spend $80 on one knife that I will use twice a year.

Consider taking up as a hobby something you always liked or admired but didn't pursue because you were no good at it; perhaps you just didn't have time to develop the foundational skills before but you do now. This might be something creative, scientific, athletic or whatever; this would allow you to pursue some sort of non-fungible goal.

On the business side, consider sharing your acquired experience with those who have yet to experience your good fortune; review what advantages or disadvantages you had, and consider how you would have navigated toward your present economic security if those were different.
They can't just revoke a license (OGL 1.0) unless that license says it can be revoked. Just because they're saying they are doesn't mean they can actually do that.
