You're not trying hard enough. I spent an afternoon on the phone with an ISP in Boston letting them know their BGP was hosed, and consequently black hole'ing my traffic. I had the traceroutes and whois data to prove it.

Nowadays though, it is getting much harder to do so however. I know there's a secret IRC of black belt NetOps out there, but I haven't managed to figure out how to route myself there yet.

(Rumor has it there's a router out there with a reliably flaky network card that'll mangle the packets juuuuuust right. Personally, I think it's all hooey and someone has a really neat IPTables file complete with port knocking)

What is this guy smoking? Send a UDP packet from one node and receive it on another. Exactly-once delivery.

If what he really means is "guaranteed to be delivered exactly once", then, yeah, no, of course not, because if your network goes down, you can't send anything.

Over a network.

You can, of course, just have one big fat machine and have two nodes in the machine and send the packet from the one node to another in the one big giant machine. There's no "network" to go down, unless somebody slices into the machine with a red-hot katana.

You can also have a fully-connected topology where every machine is hard-wired into every other machine, and every machine will route for every other machine. There's no real "network" to go down; as long as there are 2 hosts that aren't dead, a message from one will get to another.

What I find amusing is that well before you get into truly hard distributed system problems, for a sufficiently complex implementation/application, your apps will be riddled with so many bugs and so many operational problems that the thing is going to fall over way before a well-built network goes down.
When you call me ignorant, and then do so again, is it projection or a desperate attempt to distract from the movement of goalposts? The way to refute a simple statement like "not one accomplished a military objective that benefited the average American" would be to provide a single example of such an accomplished military objective. Try harder!

TFA claims explicitly, in the title, to be about "winning". I observe that the Pentagon doesn't have a recent track record of doing that. ITT that observation has been answered by novel definitions, references to WWII, appeals to sovereignty, and now you have appealed to anti-authoritarianism. Hold on to your history book, because our record in USA doesn't look too good on that either.

Here is a short list of authoritarian dictators whom USA supported for years: Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Saddam Hussein, Mohammed bin Salman, Ibn Saud and the half-dozen other Saudi "kings", Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Hosni Mubarak, Syngman Rhee, Park Chung-hee, Chun Doo-hwan, Mobutu Sese Seko, Sarit Thanarat, Suharto, Augusto Pinochet, Juan José Estrada, Manuel Noriega, Anastasio Somoza García, Luis Somoza Debayle, Anastasio Somoza Debayle, Carlos Castillo Armas, Fulgencio Batista, Phoumi Nosavan, Hugo Banzer, Jorge Rafael Videla, Hissène Habré, Ferdinand Marcos, etc, etc, etc. As before, I have left out many. Tens of millions of innocent people died due to USA support for these authoritarian dictators, not to mention the hundreds of millions more who lived in fear and penury.

There is not a chance in hell that support for any of those awful men contributed in the least to USA not being shelled over any period of history. That has been guaranteed by our two giant oceans and two fairly large vassal neighbors. The more straws you attempt to grasp, the clearer the picture of USA militarism becomes.

I stipulate that USA navy defends shipping, except of course in those fairly frequent events in which battleships mistakenly run into shipping vessels while tooling around in the dark.

Agreed - the cant of this article could just as easily be "environmental factors during formative years influence behavior at maturity" without representing a particular set of responses as "normal" or "abnormal". I'm surprised they didn't use adaptive/maladaptive, like you do; it seems more appropriate.

Well... It's not like it can get any slower, can it? Waymo is the industry lead and yet it offers rides to only a small closed group of beta testers. They only deploy it in geofenced areas. It seems that they deploy the driverless variant, but every Waymo I ever see has a driver behind the wheel, driving it manually, night time or daytime. This rollout is glacial.

It's been 16 years since the DARPA Urban Challenge. I'm happy to be wrong, but I really don't think robotaxis will penetrate the market to mass adoption like many predict, and if it does, it will be in 50 years or more. In 20 years robotaxis will still be a problem of legislation and struggling with adoption, not a technological problem. American car culture is too ingrained.

At most, driverless robotaxis will be symbols of tech companies along the coastlines. They won't transform transportation for the working class because in 20 years, 95% of drivers will still want to drive themselves.
I'm wide open to any recommendation you have. These are just the two products that seem to come up most when I ask people for recommendations.
Productivity is up due to technology, not increased working hours. Americans work a lot less now than they did in the 1950s: https://www.humanprogress.org/senator-sanders-and-the-averag.... In fields where technology doesn’t help, productivity is basically flat for decades.

Likewise, capital’s share of GDP is flat since the 1950s and if you factor out real estate, has declined from 25% to under 20%. https://www.brookings.edu/bpea-articles/deciphering-the-fall...

I would also posit that moving far away from grandma and not being forced to socialize with mixed-age communities at church had a much greater impact on ordinary people than whether capital has 20% or 25% share of GDP.
I wonder what would happen if you could somehow decouple businesses running critical infrastructure from the stock market. For example, make it so shares must be held for at least 3 years before they are sold if you don't want to pay a massive extra tax on them, and you can't borrow/lend against these shares.

>I've seen NEC violations galore and general bad practices on some of the larger DIY/contractor channels.

For an example more relevant to the IT crowd here: Linus Tech Tips and pretty much all their videos concerning "upgrading" a house, car, boat, etc. are rife with regulatory violations, safety guideline violations, industry standard violations, and the kitchen sink.

So if you want to learn any of the trades, even just superficially for hobby/DIY purposes, find someone who really knows what they're doing and ask them to teach you.
Yeah, the way "private"-ly owned infrastructure here is probably rather different than just selling stuff to foreign companies. I was just reading about the private toll roads in Japan, but it seems they're only operated and maintained by private companies, while the ownership is retained by corporations that are owned by the government (sort of like MTA in NYC).
That's because the x-axis is "pairwise allele-sharing distance" ie: we munged the data every which way to find something that we could use k-means clustering to write a paper.

Here’s an issue I ran into recently where digitization fell flat.

Wanted images of a particular issue of a regional newspaper from the 1940s. I am in the US State where it was published and it was one of the top three newspapers at the time, so (I thought) no problem. The State library even sent me a copy of the digital archived copy of that issue.

But the scanning had been done from a bound copy of the newspaper and done with a (state-of-the-art at the time) low resolution scanner. Two or three words of each line (right side of right page, left side of the left-facing page) were missing…not just distorted, missing. Contacted them to get the original and they said they didn’t have the original physical copies of those issues from the 1940s, just those scans. (Library of Congress says the State library have the only complete physical collection.)

So I am dealing with lacunae (you know, the stuff archeologists wrestle with when texts are missing from 2000 year old burnt papyrus) from newspapers that are less than 100 years old. With 2000 year old burnt papyrus, new tech can maybe fix the problem. But there is no original source material to work with for this 1940s newspaper.

In addition, any early scanned photos from that issue run the gamut from bad to totally unusable. No future AI would be able to reliably reproduce anything from many of the photo scans…there is simply too little signal left. A trivial rescan issue with today’s scanning tech, but what can you do when the original is unavailable? The content in question relates to art and artists, so the published graphic images are important.

Early digitizations often don’t meet the needs of researchers. If the physical source material was tossed and unavailable for rescan, no matter how recently published, some text fragments and images are more “lost” than the burnt papyri of Egypt.

Physical archived copies of core documents are still important, even/especially bulky “ephemera”.

You presumed wrong.
We are well aware of it and extremely unpleased with that. They force everyone to drive a minimum of 2-4 miles to get to the closest store and chances are it's a stupid mcDonalds or some other nonsense like that. i really don't know what they were thinking. it's almost as if the car industry paid off the city planners. I know early in US history the car industry bought up trains and put them out business which is despicable.

You'll see this huge mass of houses crammed together like some kind of concentration camp. and it'll be endless miles of uniform houses like pods in the matrix. no libraries, no parks, no trees, no community compost, (none of these things have to be expensive) nothing. but lots and lots of pavement. some of those side streets are I'm not kidding you like 5 almost 6 lanes wide, meanwhile people's front yard is less than 10 feet long.

It's a complete unmitigated disaster.
Something about this story just doesn't add up. There has got to be a network effect here of someone calling in favors across both sides. The application provided very little value (you apply to college mostly once), and was one amongst many scholarship aggregators that almost never were useless either.
So the main question is... why?

The closest you get to this sort of thing in practice is something like a parser generator, or an automatic interface generator. ANTLR and Tree-sitter both allow generating parsers in a variety of languages, but their input is basically a description of an AST in a highly specialized and extremely declarative context.

Once you start having actual logic in your code generation, there is very little benefit to codegening to a high-level language instead of going directly to a compiler IR, a bytecode, or assembly directly. The places where you see that happening--JavaScript being the biggest one--is largely limited to where there is no other alternative.
This is definitely true. Most employees at national labs are not paid according to the GS schedule.
This is technically very impressive, but it's worth pointing out that podcasts much better than this fail to build an audience all the time.

I also feel like every application of ChatGPT seems to completely miss the point of the media it mimics. Podcasts are not merely coherent voices talking to each other. Getting rid of human presenters is literally soulless. People already don't listen for much subtler reasons. Entertainers get canceled, media companies get boycotted, bias divides audiences, etc.

That's not going away with or without AI. There is no "tweaking" the training without putting humans right back into the equation and probably making production way more expensive than it's worth. There is no scalability payoff either. Who wants to listen to the same podcast cloned a million times with just replaced voices? We already have this problem with podcasts today and it kills any interest to consume it.

I don’t know much about India, from a quick it looked to me like they refused to privatize the low level (cable lying) infra for a long time, and are now in the process of looking into it: https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/telecom-...

> airlines

There was competition happening before the privatization though ? I only followed the european ones, but the quality of service and reliability mostly went down after the privatizations. The more interesting part to me is how much this industry resisted unleaded gas because of the costs associated. Could gov regulation be an answer to force a better direction when it makes no economic sense ?

> competition

100% agree on not keeping blocking competition for non critical, lifeline services. I think gov managed infra is inherently prone to bloat and corruption, but that’s a price we pay to keep that infra working (postal service costing 20% more is better to me than 20% of the country losing access to postal service). That calculus doesn’t make sense when it comes to fields were other players are thriving and/or lower service quality isn’t life or death issues.

I think browsers could nowadays figure out when enough bytes result in enough quality. Progressive images should have been the solution since the very beginning and it’s disappointing (yet expected) that they aren’t.

I really wish I could just point to the canonical source of an image and have the browser decide how much of is needed like it does for video segments.

Thumbnail: load 1000 bytes

Drag to desktop: download the remaining megabyte of your full-quality image

The current picture/sizes setup is a verbose joke hacked together because they refused to use progressive JPEGs for this purpose, which we had for a very long time. This whole thing could have been a single `<img progressive>` attribute
