The release specifically addresses commercial use:

> This future satellite constellation infrastructure will allow for synergies with private sector to develop commercial services and provide with high-speed internet and communication in all EU territory, including over isolated regions where terrestrial and broadband connection remain scarce.

As does the page you linked:

> The system will also allow mass-market applications including mobile and fixed broadband satellite access, satellite trunking for B2B services, satellite access for transportation, reinforced networks by satellite and satellite broadband and cloud-based services.

Isn't a full queue basically equivalent to no queue? The same number of requests is being dropped.
In a large enough war, space infrastructure would actually be very vulnerable. Imagine a cloud of a few tons of shrapnel, spread around in an orbit that intersects all the 550km orbits of the Starlink constellation. This shrapnel cloud could be deployed with a single launch.

the bridge is just a proxy, the volume if traffic is the same but you now have added a regional hop. Exposing your redis and postgres on the public web is not a good idea, but there are tons of internal usecases, and things like postgres actually have a security mechanism so its not default "insecure"
True, but we were speaking about Germany's ability to pull economic growth specifically.

Italy won't be saving European economic growth anytime soon, possibly ever, even though I actually love Italy.
This is how it was with blockchain: a solution in search of a problem.

What the advances in AI give us are new capabilities. Ways to solve existing problems much better than before. Smart companies will reassess their old ways to see if they can’t be made better.

As an example, Whisper can and should be used in automated phone systems. Understanding what customers are saying will absolutely make the product better.
Yes in general, but it is more complex than that.

There exists a "tzarism" component, there exist others. And an umbrella is theoretically possible where those components are solved - but I have not seen such umbrella developed.

What is the impact on the immediate local environment? Drawing the heat out of the ground throughout the year surely means the ground will be colder going into winter. What impact does that have on plants, insects and small mammals when they are overwintering in the ground, etc? And what is the knock-on effect from that?

As a schoolboy in the UK in the 60s/70s we had to (try) to read Simenon novels as a way of learning French. The experience tainted the stories ever since.

Sure.

Nazi ideals are bad, we can agree.

WWII is especially complex and resistes being reduced to black and white simplistics because of the same kinds of complications that exist today.

Back in the day the UK Royal Family was even more closely tied to their German cousins, many political groups in the UK were sympathetic to Nazi ideals even if opposed to the war expansion .. and the same was true for the USofA.

But, returning to the original point, I see no evidence that Dahl killed literal actual Nazi's.
The world’s first modern airliner
The issue with ChatGPT is that it produces convincingly sounding texts that more often than not contain factual errors that are obvious to people familiar with the field, but require effort to disprove for lay persons. Made up citations, for example. As such, they’re worthless. A human is capable of producing a similar made up text, but ChatGPT makes it trivial to anyone, flooding the conversation with useless noise, crowding out the signal.

Asking your parent to engage with an essentially unlimited firehose of unfounded claims just plays into that hand.

I really recommend reading this text on ChatGPTs lack of usefulness for academic conversations https://acoup.blog/2023/02/17/collections-on-chatgpt/
Too little, too expensive, too late?

Once again the EU is playing catch up with last gen tech. Starlink is almost 10 years old - conceptually even older. Iridium has been around for over 25 years.

If the EU was serious, it should have invested proactively in next gen satellite direct to device tech that is around the corner in the US.

AST SpaceMobile is close to starting commercial activity for satellite based 5G that is supposed to work with any smart phone. Starlink is working on something similar with T-Mobile. G-Sat already has minimal D2D capability working with the latest iPhone generation.

Also, I wonder where cost competitive launch capability is going to come from for launching hundreds of satellites. Russia? China?
If your premise is OpenAI has "launch(ed) something that nobody else can" then the whole argument falls apart.

No one else wanted to, because of the PR storms associated with this tech. (Tay for MS, and consider "Google fires software engineer who claims AI chatbot is sentient").

All OpenAI did was a relativity trivial (in competitive terms) software-engineering pass over the system to provide the tool in user-friendly and PR-friendly ways.

The idea that google, apple, etc. etc. couldnt create anything at OpenAI is clearly absurd. The relevant "AI" here is just rube-goldberg varations on a dot-product computed over the entire internet; any one can do it.
To me, the whole point of reading imaginative fiction like Dahl’s work is that it transports you to some other place. A different world with different people in it. The author created that whole world with language, and you’re getting it through just words on a page—that has always seemed to be part of the magic to me.

I think we ought to respect that, and treat suggestions to “improve” old literature by “updating” the language with the same mild derision that’s useful on those loons that wanted to paint over the cigarettes in old movies
Thanks for sharing this perspective. Hearing such things directly from the people concerned helps turn my existing somewhat fuzzy thoughts on the subject into more solid real life experiences which I can reference when needed.

> The workaround in many cases would be as simple as pointing your package.json file to GitHub instead of npm.org. Or paying to download it once and then caching it in some local NPM proxy.

You just described like $1,000 worth of work. If the price of conveniently getting access to code were tarsnap style fractions of a cent then any company that is hiring people wouldn’t care.

I can’t seem to copy any more of your response because safari is being funny on my phone but from what I can see the chief complaint among open source maintainers is how challenging it is to get meaningful contributions from the user community in the first places

I don’t even think you’d need to change the license on the software, it could still be MIT but instead of being copyright Some Coder In Nebraska it would be copyright NPM.

Or not maybe you don’t need the copyright to change, I think the key innovation here is that the distribution network takes the payment directly and pays someone to maintain the project.
> But there were times when German companies actually were world leaders in the big things as well

We have the world leader in civil aerospace in France/Germany, Many high-speed trains in the world are coming from France or Germany. There are many large high-tech sectors.

It's nice that Estonia is successful, but it's not where the next big chip manufacturing sites will be build. Intel and TSMC are in talks to move to the former East Germany (Saxony has roughly 70000 employees already in the chip manufacturing industry). The big Internet exchange node is in Frankfurt.

The EU has a lot to catch up in many countries, but it's not that we have no high-tech.
it doesn’t matter, data goes to GA servers in the US anyway
Why not explain the historical context of these books instead? (That’s I what do with my children.) My children appreciate the transparency and extra discussion. That leads to a better longer term outcome for society than with the ease and convenience that censorship provides. History’s mistakes tend to repeat when society forgets them. We can’t rely on educational institutions doing our job for us since the same trend of censorship is happening in their realm.

First: You should be hoping that someone that wrote a book about consciousness should jump in this thread.
Second: As we see with LLM consciousness is not needed to fake humans, so consciousness will be redefined along the progress of technology to reflect a notion of a person or thinking machine that cannot understand the structure of the network that is using to think consciously. Chaytanya means conciousness in Hindi (https://www.shabdkosh.com/dictionary/hindi-english/chaitanya...)
S3 the is quite expensive the cheapest compatible alternative I'm aware of is idrive E2 which is $40 per year for 1Tb, they currently have an offer for $4 for the first year. That said I bought one of those offers and the connection from Europe was quite slow, however for that price it's an easy try.

Depends on what you mean by "fine".

It is certainly not bad, but it makes no sense to pretend that they play in the same league as the global giants, or even just one level under them.

At this level of significance, countries like Thailand or Turkey can play, too. I would expect more from France, one of the heavyweights of the Western civilization and a cradle of Enlightement.

In the first case, you've gone a bit far. To maximise utilisation, you want the queue to never be empty when polled.

Ah, a request that I also punch up... I do punch up as well. Do you require a balance of punches for this specific round?

> To think this person is deluded, but that you have saved yourself from the delusion all humans go through, is deluded.

It is, but I didn't claim that. Rather, I have my delusions, but not this one: framing society (western, J assume? but isn't that self-centered to assume western? this is an international forum) as a cisheteropatriarchal normative society, and from that segmenting people into oppressed and oppressor as defined by intersectional characteristics, and from that to reach into the oppressor group, pick their elements, and accuse them of perpetuating the status quo, and so remove from them the agency of existing as a group and having a voice other than to help the oppressed.

Do you see people like this? In particular, when observing that a book has only characters of the oppressed type and so it must be great?

With ready access to bones/carcasses (either direct from the store or from saving them when cooking) I've found making stock just-in-time via electric pressure cooker to be very convenient as the pressure cuts down the time so I don't need to make anything ahead and freeze, and it's legitimately I-can-leave-home levels of set-it-and-forget-it. The only part I haven't yet figured out is a more convenient way of straining out the bones. Currently I pour the contents into another stock pot with a pasta insert. This works, but is two additional large pieces to clean.
Also ignoring that estonia has a population of only about 1.3 million, let alone the geographic size. It's a tiny country, which makes it easier to build infrastructure. Estonia has received heavy subsidies from the EU which went towards infrastructure projects. Germany on the other hand is the largest financial contributor to the EU by far. [1]

The plan has worked, to share the success of the big economic powers within the EU with the lesser fortunate so that they could be competitive in the future and even the grounds. It's not a surprise that coming out like the original commenter isn't exactly well received.

If you pay for GPU memory for the 10% of tasks you need it; it is cheaper then system RAM the rest of the time.
All official releases only mention government use, I think the idea might be to use a government contract to help the industry develop know-how for private use later on
It’s very surprising, the instructions disappear and there’s no obvious way to get them back. Undo doesn’t work, for example.

Maybe consider selecting all the text on the first click/focus in the textarea. That way it’s still there but a regular user can just paste, type, or hit backspace to get rid of the instruction. Undo would let you get it back.

Nice to see Svelte in the wild here, by the way.
Operational? Yes. Reliable? No. It has had numerous outages in the last 4 years.

How do you explain several non-EU states being members of the Galileo programme - namely Switzerland and Norway? Hell, even China invested into it in 2003. And yet, the UK which invested almost a quarter of its funding is booted out on the basis of an unrelated political issue? It doesn't make sense. The British even offered to continue funding and investing into it. So "forced out" is an accurate description.

Yes, but you can log into another console with the same account and play the titles you own so long as you're online and logged in. So you can play a game you bought on your account while someone else plays a game bought on your account on the home console. So two consoles simultaneously.

What some people do is they set their friend's Xbox as their home console and their friend sets their Xbox as their home console and then they both just stay logged in and online on their respective consoles. This lets them play all their friend's games but they can still play their own.
> While the SLA says 100%, don't expect perfection

I've always considered Verizon's (and prior to that, WorldCom and/or MCI) 100% SLA to be pure marketing BS.

Anyone who's ever worked with telecoms knows it's simply unrealistic. Fibres will get cut, carrier's routers will need software updates etc. etc. etc.

I reckon the reason you pay a Verizon-tax is so they have spare cash floating around to pay you the inevitable SLA penalties.

Personally, I prefer dealing with carriers who have more real-world SLAs.

I know I can't really critique something here because it's a free volunteer project, but I've always sort of wondered why for the Windows version why instead of screwing around with two different .exes for TTY and graphical, why someone can't just throw up a Direct3D fullscreen window instead? You would have 1 exe, it would be full-screen like it used to be back in the DOS days, and you could switch between TTY and graphical with a command sequence..
> ridiculous

I'm suggesting ridicule is necessary, because embarrassment is the only way to make the incumbents to do better.
The whole point of Starlink is that it's economically unfeasible to reach everywhere. Specially in rural areas, neither cables, fiber optics or 5G will make it. Keep wasting money in Europe.
Does anyone know a technical term for this? Like describing the Milky Way from within it...
There is a massive difference between a ghetto that a group is forced to be in, excluded from the outside world, and a community built where one feels accepted and safe which one can enter and leave at will (free association). As long as outside this community is not properly welcoming and accepting its need to exist will be there. It’s the outside world that needs to change first. Discouraging such communities is basically asking those in need of that community to do most of the hard work.
I used it two days ago to translate some research code from Matlab to Python and it worked really well, saving me about 10 hours of work. It would be very unfortunate if they degraded it without adding a higher paid tier. This thing has literally provided me with thousands of dollars of tangible value. It turns me into a proper one man army.

> Most of the useful parts of Python are written in C, C++, Fortran, Rust so when you try to deploy it some less frequently used platform it can burst into flames the worst kind of ways.

You can always write it in python.

This is the attitude which prevails those days. C is to blame because someone wrote Python in C.

What stops those people implementing the standard POSIX in rust or python ? Or even the X windows system or (for clairvoyants) the Wayland in Python or Rust ?

Or even better, they can make their own OS written in these languages (and even call it MULTICS).

Nietzsche is fond of playful personal attacks (which do sometimes become shrill by the end of his life on some matters), but he engages with the thought honestly. Russell does not. That is what I see as the difference. It's one thing to say someone is a crazy dummy, it's another to say that and then totally misrepresent what they thought while claiming to educate the reader.

> idea that google, apple, etc. etc. couldnt create anything at OpenAI is clearly absurd

They could have. But they didn’t.
I absolutely understand- but is still amazingly cheap. The install was not simple. Despite being oversubscribed I get good speeds both ways. Most devices on my network can only handle 1 gig though my vmware/ synology stuff is 10g. I have business service from att at a different location - Even ordering process was kind of annoying- you get a rep and going around on price / term etc takes a bit vs clicking buy now.

At home I pay for 5 but just need 2. I have failover to comcast. Works well . And yes I do get reported outages on the att side but because failover works I’ve not chased things down.
Member functions have an invisible argument: the pointer to the C++ object. You can access this argument using the 'this' keyword. John Carmack describes pure functions like so:

> Pure functions have a lot of nice properties. Thread safety. A pure function with value parameters is completely thread safe. With reference or pointer parameters, even if they are const, you do need to be aware of the danger that another thread doing non-pure operations might mutate or free the data, but it is still one of the most powerful tools for writing safe multithreaded code.

Emphasis on 'value parameters'. The invisible 'this' argument is not passed by value, it is passed by reference. By Carmack's definition, C++ member functions are not pure.
Since it seems to be taken as fact that such projects are doomed to fail, let me give an example of the opposite: Airbus.
I think so too. AI might affect applications like Photoshop if the result of the provided output is good enough. Stable Diffusion is going into this direction.
While ChatGPT is nice, real authors and journalists create value by bringing in a nuanced and subjective insights based on their research/expertise/ideology.
“Human like intelligence” has no relevance.

It really pains me to use this analogy, but let’s say super advanced aliens land on the Whitehouse lawn tomorrow. They won’t be remotely “human like intelligence”.
The rust compiler has a serious energy cost though.Also due to lack of (proper) standard library, downloading thousands of crates is pretty expensive. If you use CICD, cargo+rustc is gonna burn through your energy budget VERY quickly.
Italian economy wasn't so bad until they joined the euro. The northern part still has decent industry even now.
It's not that simple. Because enemy nation states also have their own satellites. They will just be damaging their own infrastructure, specially Russia with their huge land to cover they need their satellites.
There are also civilian use cases. A small town can choose to invest in a micro reactor and thus be free of large energy corporations.

Also, less long transmission lines means less accidental forest fires.

At sea of course, the old dream of nuclear powered merchant shipping could be realized.
