"With its uncanny ability to mimic human language and reasoning"

No, there's 0 reasoning. The notion that ChatGPT can think is getting locked into people's minds even though it can't. This view is what's going to get us all in trouble. People are going to trust it and people are going to act upon what they are told by it. I don't know where it leads but I doubt it's a good place.

Real-Time Database Design Boosts Total Cost of Ownership
I have switched some JDK stuff from Lambda to ECS with Fargate.

It is definitely more expensive (for me anyway - I guess it depends on how much RAM you've assigned to your Lambdas and how much CPU you've assigned to each ECS task) but it was simpler (no need for provisioned Lambdas or warmup Lambdas) and local development was simpler too.

Your mileage may vary depending on how many Lambdas/what resources they need/how easily you test locally right now.

My (lay, nonexpert) understanding is:

- The centroid of probability is near Rouen.

- Earlier/later impact probability would be along a path along the movement/orbit of the impactor. I'm going to guess that that's largely east-west track, though with a possible orbital inclination.

- The probability distribution across that range is likely far higher near the centre than at the extremes.

- Relative motion of Earth's rotation (~1,600 km/hr at the equator, less than that at the latitude of Rouen) is a much smaller component than the likely relative velocity of the meteorite (~20 km/s).

- 20 km/s +/- 10 minutes ... gives 12,000 km as a possible range around the impact site.

There's also the question of accurately noting the original position of the impactor.

That said: good question and I'd love to hear from someone who knows what they're talking about.

Thought also comes to mind of Aristotle's future contingents, "there will be a sea battle tomorrow" ...

Yeah: that is a brilliant technique that (1) encourages you to learn to not be embarrassed to use the correct sounds, and (2) really helps others understand what you are saying (especially if you have a strong local accent like me as a kiwi).

In Spanish, I also tried to use words with Latin roots, and avoid words from other languages. Often pure guesswork, or even making up words by changing endings, but sometimes worked surprisingly well if you know a little etymology and have learnt a little feel for the grammatical rules. Then again, made some doozy mistakes too - mostly hilarious or surreal!

Decision to move away from your parent permanently.

By the time you are in your late 20s/ early 30s, you need to decide where you would settle down. Your parent is in their late 50s, they aren’t moving anywhere and still be happy. So you have to make a choice to either live near them or not.

Yes that's exactly right. You can see this information in the plot attached to the linked Twitter post. There is a range of times (indicated by color) and the corresponding projections for impact location. But note that meteors can be seen from quite far away. Large fireballs can be heard for dozens of miles around! Also, they posted a more recent update that the estimate is zeroing in on Rouen.

I ride their cars every week in Chandler. For a joke, they sure have delivered a nice experience.

All snarkiness aside, I really enjoy riding in the cars because the driving strategy is interesting. Waymo routes appear to vastly prefer more right turns over fewer left ones (at a 3-1 ratio, by my estimates) and also is strategic about avoiding routes with large numbers of parked cars and pedestrians, even if the traffic flow is light.
So why is this a problem for a monorepo but not the multi-repo? It seems to me that the major difference is that in a multi-repo, you'd be more likely to be oblivious to the multitude of dependency issues than you are in the monorepo... and to be honest, that actually sounds like a bad thing to me, because it means you're sweeping legitimate issues underneath the rug.

In WWI the UK developed AA rounds to shoot down zeppelins and balloons. They were basically tracer rounds with a bigger incendiary charge that ignited when fired and set the skin and hydrogen of balloons on fire.

Modern incendiary and explosive rounds fired by fighter jets aren't effective against them becayse they are only triggered by their impact against a hard target, but I'm sure the DoD could come up with a more effective version pretty quickly if it came down to that.

Low Overhead Clustering Software
Is there any low level software for 32 bit x86 that just does clustering and presents the cluster as a single virtual machine with many cores and share memory, disk.

Basically I am looking to take a bunch of x86 systems tie them together to make a unified virtual machine and then run a higher level OS on the virtual machine as if it was one computer. Local node RAM would appear as cache for the local CPU.

I am aware I can install linux on each node and make a beowulf cluster but I am wondering if there is a cleaner, lower level solution.

This is a hobbyist project at this point.

That's true to an extent, yes. Hoewer if aging were inherited in a meaningful sense, the species would not have survived very long.

My point behind this is that DNA mutations are normally inherited, and indeed we also see that older parents' children have higher risk. But that aging still almost entirely resets suggest that most of the effects of aging are not just plain DNA mutations. Hence the idea that it must be mainly something else that is not inherited, like epigenetics, senescent cells, etc

Suggestion: Pass a bill requiring all new or upgraded systems to be non-proprietary. Then it has no current-year budgetary cost.

The problem with doing it this way is you're accounting for the bill as the cost of upgrading all government systems [to non-proprietary ones], which is on the same order as the cost of upgrading all government systems in general -- something that happens eventually but on its own budget.

So require upgrades to be to non-proprietary systems. Then you just wait. In maybe ten or fifteen years pass a bill requiring any remaining proprietary systems to be replaced, which by then will be fewer of them and by then will be the ones that most need to be replaced.
It's great for tooth sensitivity as well.
jjlin raised some valuable points in https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/discussions/2450#..., where the initial motivation and reasoning were faulty or incomplete:

> While I don't object to changing the license, I think a few things mentioned in the intro are not quite true and should be clarified.

> > To be clear, this will not effect any (end)user or any self-hosted environment which you share with your family and friends.

> If you make your Vaultwarden instance publicly accessible, then there is a reasonable expectation that anyone could interact with it (if only to load the login page), so if you've modified any of the Vaultwarden backend (e.g., custom templates or graphics that get built into the binary), I believe you would technically be obligated to "prominently offer" the source. In practice, that would probably mean modifying the web vault login page with a link to your source.

> > This will only have an effect on companies that build proprietary tools using Vaultwarden code.

> As mentioned above, this also affects non-commercial users who have modified the Vaultwarden code.

> > This is also more fair towards Bitwarden, since currently the GPLv3 license of Vaultwarden could allow other companies to compete with Bitwarden, which is not something we want.

> While this may prevent deep integration of Vaultwarden with a company's other products, they are still perfectly able to provide standalone instances, even with some customizations (as long as they make the modified source available), so I don't think this change would have much effect on most MSPs who offer managed Vaultwarden services.

> Overall, AGPL has a limited ability to prevent third-party competition with the original product, as can be seen with Bitwarden's shift towards a non-open-source ("source-available") license for key portions of their software.

—⁂—

Me, I’m not convinced this change is (a) desirable or (b) worthwhile, for the same reasons as jjlin, but I don’t oppose it either. As a teenager I was generally quite unimpressed by the GPL and deliberately avoided building with some copyleft things where possible, strongly favouring permissive licenses, but now I’m 30 and I’ve definitely come to appreciate the purposes of copyleft licenses a bit more, though I still largely prefer to work with permissive licenses.

(I prefer the Blue Oak Model License <https://blueoakcouncil.org/license/1.0.0>; on the licenses’ own merits, BlueOak-1.0.0 is roundly better than the likes of Apache-2.0 and MIT; the only practical imperfection of BlueOak-1.0.0 is that it’s not OSI-approved, largely because—simplifying perhaps past the point of strict accuracy—its authors used to work with OSI and are fed up with broken processes.)

You have a right to your opinion, but in my experience, these situations are far more complicated and nuanced.
It’s not favorable because the strategy is flawed by assuming the US hasn’t already or can’t respond. Assuming China continues to engage in activities the US will further escalate to stop the activities and force a war with a favorable hand.

The whole point is that they are without comparison. There is no other force like it in the world. By definition it may have to be that way (if it should exist, which I'm not entirely sure it should), but so long as there are UN peacekeepers there will be armed troops where nobody's really both motivated and able to prosecute their war crimes with any reliability.

The legal framework surrounding UN peacekeeping is insufficient as the UN itself grants its peacekeepers blanket immunity, and expects host and/or contributing nations to prosecute war crimes committed by UN peacekeepers. But those nations are almost by definition unable to maintain the rule of law (or in the case of contributing nations, unlikely or unwilling to prosecute).

I'm not sure why "but other people also do bad stuff" is where everyone seems to go with that information. But to go along it, a more apt comparison would be the Mahmudiyah rape and killings: war crimes committed by US troops in Iraq, in which the perpetrators were tried, convicted and sentenced in American military and civilian courts. That's how that aspect of the inevitable evils of war should be handled:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmudiyah_rape_and_killings

Had the perpetrators been UN peacekeepers, the host nation likely would not have had the ability to prosecute the accused competently and fairly, and the UN would have given them immunity if expected to act. The contributing nation would not have wanted to prosecute for a whole host of reasons.

One can argue that the UN is doing what it can, but it isn't much: Asking contributing nations to prosecute war crimes committed by their citizens (not likely), shaming those nations [1], and trying to support the victims [2]. Which all goes to show that the UN is rather toothless on the matter. There's an asymmetry to their ability to contribute to violence but not prosecute the criminal abuses thereof. I think that's concerning.

Regardless, your comparison reminds me that even Abu Ghraib resulted in numerous prison terms. Make of that what you will.

What's the reality distortion meme?
Starlink is in a completely different class of "tons of satellites" as other platforms simply due to the SpaceX launch vehicles.

China has a total of 600-ish satellites together for all purposes. Starlink has 3500-ish right now, and the already licensed plans are for 12000 by 2026. When(if!) Starship starts launching satellites, a single launch can put in orbit more military satellites than China has ever launched, and it does not seem have a comparable capability in the near future.

> this doesn't require a new product line, or any new features, just removing an existing component that costs more to add in

That seems wrong. Even having a new SKU has some overhead in terms of any manual process (such as making product brochures). Plus, are they going to silently make this hypothetical ME-less CPU, or are they going to try to do some outreach to interested buyers? If not, what's the point? That costs money too. Oh, and they'll need a separate line for packaging these CPUs. And lastly, adding a post-process way to remove ME is potentially a security issue, because maybe people in high-security environments (who likely pay more than people such as yourself who want ME-less) would be worried about an attacker slipping a ME-less CPU in and doing something nefarious.

Anyway, TL;DR: it's not enough to prove that there are people interested in a ME-less CPU. Heck, if it's $1, I'll buy one for the hell of it. It's a question of how much more they're willing to pay, and how much more it'll cost Intel to deliver such a CPU. And we have precious little info to go on, so your argument is hardly a slam-dunk.

Edit:

> there isn't a single tech company that wouldn't leap on such coprocessor-free compute to protect sensitive corporate secrets

Really? Corporations are worried about ME? First I've heard of it. These are the same companies that willingly use Azure and AWS, right? Can you provide some evidence?
