> 47 Great Hiking GR® trails have been brought together in a single path to create this thru hike.

Fun fact: the GR trails, and hence this through route, aren’t allowed to be mapped in OpenStreetMap.

The federation that administers them, the FFRP, claims copyright in them as a creative work. French law agrees.

You can see the little red and white trailblazing marks on trees, but you can’t record that information and put it into OSM. If you want a map, you need an FFRP-licensed product.

I agree with you, but the difference between being able to tell someone "if you need to install some dependencies in Rust, just use Cargo" and show them the documentation, and whatever the equivalent documentation is in Python are worlds apart. I think the author's argument would be weaker if he focused on a language other than Python that doesn't have a hellscape of a package ecosystem.

And I remember custom build scripts with Cargo being a major pain at the time I used it, but the Cargo developers were able to sidestep major fundamental problems because they knew what didn't work with packaging in the decades before and managed to think about the design carefully enough from the start.

Rust is different because the choice of package manager is "simply" Cargo, not necessarily that Cargo itself is trivial to use.
after the huggingface event last night a group of us wasn't let into a bar/club because "y'all are nerds, we don't want your patronage" I don't think it's solved enough yet for their taste, what a beautifully schizoid city, never change, we should just throw money at the problem forever as a monument to hubris XD

Meh, the contradiction seems to be that creating a source of power, be it via a physical or virtual means is different. It is not. A tool, is and always will be, a tool.
I don’t think the States has ever been ready for a real war before it started. Am reading Pogue’s Marshall biography and they certainly weren’t ready before ww ii. I’m not sure any country has been really prepared, as they were organized for the previous war if at all. And nobody is or can be organized for a nuclear exchange.

The States, like other superpowers can do a tremendous amount of damage. If they can survive the initial exchange is another question and I’m not sure any country can make tech weapons in enough quantity. And the States lacks the will to suffer mass casualties in a ww ii style shootout, nor can they easily apply manpower offshore.
I believe it's a modern version of result-driven.
Agreed. Just look at Twitter. It's running with a skeleton crew but that's only because a system of that size does not collapse in a day. It takes years for the cracks to show and grow.

Regarding deadlines, I absolutely adore this quote by Douglas Adams:

> I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.

It's basically the same as yours, but instead of telling you not to care, Adams basically demonstrates the peace of mind he seems to have achieved by not caring himself. Plus, he apparently had a reputation for not delivering his manuscripts on time, so it seems to be genuine :)
Every city has its glory days and eventual decline. It happened to Detroit; it's happening to SF, and eventually it'll happen to other cities (I see it happening to Houston if the US truly uncouples itself from oil)
Exactly. Big companies can't innovate, they can't get out of their own way enough to get something all the way through.

The way it goes:
1.Company with great leadership gets investment (angel, VC, government, etc.) to do something great.
2. Great leadership takes the time and effort to a - understand what is needed and how to recognize talent in those areas and b - gets that talent onboard, even if it's expensive and time consuming to align their desires with the companies
3. A great team, with great leadership, does great things.
4. Great things are profitable, so the company is sold to a big soulless company, or becomes a big soulless company over time
5. Many of the people with true passion and skill leave because they can. They generally leave because the toxic environment in big soulless companies hurts them and takes away what makes them individually so great.
6. Company is left with a shell. They manufacture and sell a product, but all the people who made that product from first principles, the people who can do it again, have been alienated,insulted, or otherwise fell victim to the toxic culture and had to leave to preserve their humanity.

> it was full blown propaganda for the US democratic party and against republicans

Really hard to blame Lifehacker, considering the damage done to legal precedent and other tomfoolery.

Oh, to be sufficiently privileged to be able to ignore the macroeconomic and political trends.

My grandparents taught me that politics aint about people. They learned that in the Depression. It's about existing power structures, deciding winners and losers. Demographically the GOP as a power player is living on borrowed time and doing everything it can to consolidate power and rebrand itself, in large part because its major three tents in its coalition (poverty-stricken disaffected [sometimes called eat-the-rich], business conservative, evangelical Christian) are not natural allies (as well as the latter two decreasing dramatically in both numbers and support). May the party of malcontent fail and more community-focused coalitions take the reins.
I believe you can't, at the same time, accuse OpenAI of benefitting of ideas mostly invented elsewhere, and also claim that they are in a predominant position. It does not make any sense, and they are not naturally positioned for a monopoly. Just other companies have to move their asses.

Examples of feature creep? Sure. Rust is a good example. Anytime we deprecate a functioning C program with a Rust one, or add a Rust dependency somewhere, we also deprecate older hardware which can't cope with it, and make those machines useless.

Let's not even mention Electron, at least it won't work on NetBSD and OpenBSD, which prevents a lot of bloat.

Most Linux folks won't care about resource usage because they purposefully use powerful machines with gigs of memory, which hides inefficiencies.

NetBSD does the opposite, they purposefully test and develop the system on small, constrained hardware, whether new (ARM SBCs) or old (VAX stations, 486s and alike). But we can't fork the whole userland, so when Linux moves to large, bloated layers, it compromises a lot of efforts to keep the userland tight and fit.

So, the Curry Points that dot Hyderabad are artefacts of British colonialism?

Yeah, no. The Telugu kura which is obviously cognate with kari is used to mean, well curry. How about you tone down the misinterpretation and false generalization?

No, a Newtonian universe with finite speed of light is consistent. People were able to do physics in that model for two centuries. Special relativity flows from the much stronger and more radical assumption that the speed of light is constant in all frames of reference, which is what the Michelson-Morley experiment showed to be true in our universe.
I'm not endorsing Sontag's quote at all. I disagree with her and think it's wrong and immoral to exhibit bigotry towards any race or to cast any sort of group judgment like that in general. Plus if any other race had been in the same position they'd very likely be just as rapacious towards the Earth. I think what she describes is a human problem and not a racial problem.

I had just wanted to provide the preceding sentences to give it full context. The part I was disagreeing with is the stuff about Jews and what I wanted to address is the specific ways people react to these things.

But, you're right. It's totally besides the point and is irrelevant; racism is racism. I removed the full quote.

“…if you were the state of California, and you were staring down a projected $22 billion budget deficit, would you invest your scarce resources in San Francisco, which has repeatedly proven itself unfit for such investments by building a vast, inefficient bureaucracy at the expense of taxpayers and vulnerable residents?

No.”
The accelerationist in me wonders if this is a positive development in the medium term. If everyone's convinced that the entire internet is sketchy, then much like state-controlled media in a dictatorship, or tabloids, no one will actually believe it.

The scale and sophistication of disinformation is getting to the point where actual verification will be extremely difficult or down to personal connections/experience, outside of direct statements. Maybe the casual majority who's favorite show is NCIS will just throw up their hands and start living more locally/draw from verified sources when they do go on the internet. One can hope, but in the meantime we're in for some chaos.

There will also be plenty who can't/won't adapt, and stay stuck in various internet fever dreams for the rest of their lives as they desperately seek that next dopamine hit, and various AI algorithms tailor what they see to keep them hooked.
Other filters I could imagine are

1. Level of prior exposure to overall subject. Someone who wants a refresher or go a bit deeper into a specific topic may not want to be in a study group with someone struggling to setup an editor.

2. Time commitment. Someone looking to spend an hour or two a week probably won't mix well with someone really committed to taking courses.
That's not what UBI is about. The risk you take to pursue innovation shouldn't be the threat of complete personal financial ruin that you can't get out of for many decades.

It doesn't matter how confident I am in my vision. If the potential failure scenario is life-long debt and debilitating financial pain for my family and my children for their entire upbringing, anything less than 100% certainty might as well be 0%.

For many people, the decision is "I think this is a good idea, and could do very well, and could bring a lot of good to a very large amount of people, but good things fail all the time. If for some reason, the market decides not to take interest, or some competitor that has yearly turnover in the tens of billions of dollars decides to crush me, then I will be carrying the consequences of other peoples' decisions for the rest of my life, and my savings will be gone, and I won't be able to cope with even a minor medical situation, which is why I make sure to keep 5 figures in my savings account, because even with my medical insurance that I pay $1k monthly for, I can still lose up to $8k per year out of pocket, and medical insurance frequently decides to not even cover my needs anyway. I can't afford the time and effort to even sue them for what I need."

The US is not a good place for innovation unless you're already rich or the innovation is guaranteed not to fail.

If the point was to bluff and insist that we had a thousand nukes ready to go, we should have just dropped one in the remote countryside where the crater can be appreciated but loss of life minimized. There was no strategic merit at this point to this loss of life, nor was there any for the firebombing of tokyo or the bombing of dresden or any of the other war crimes commited by the allies against urban populations who had little choice but to sit and die.
I’ll stipulate that a FCV has an electric powertrain. But so what? An electric powertrain is orthogonal to the source of its fuel and its climate impact. That’s what matters to society. Let’s not ignore the forest for the trees here.
I’m going to assume you aren’t a legal expert, but you trust this thing to write legally binding contracts that may accidentally use words and phrasing that do something different than you expect?

I seriously doubt GPT understands which laws and case laws apply to which areas. It could be creating a contract that does something you don’t want or even a one that isn’t enforceable.

Pay a lawyer. There’s a lot to gain if you do and a lot to lose if you don’t.

> people overestimate the probability of “collapse“

Collapse, in this article’s context, means insolvency. That doesn’t mean San Francisco disappears. But public transit may halt for a while, and the city may have control and assets forcibly removed from itself.

In reality, San Francisco is solidly investment grade [1][2]. It can borrow its way out of this hole.

I think the specific situation with Twitter is that it takes a lot more people to create and update a system of this size than it does to merely maintain it. They simply no longer have the capacity to make a large new product at this point, but even a skeleton staff is enough to keep the existing product running.

France has about four times the population density of the US, so it's somewhat easier to step on each other's toes. The idea behind the rules is simple: pick a spot where you don't bother anyone (including protected wildlife) and set up a tarp, not a camp. The latter is somewhat indirectly enforced by forcing you to move

If your get_atomic() isn't also capturing or resetting an internal hardware timer atomically it's kinda broken code anyway. It's important to remember that you're getting data from the firmware of an atomic clock (or GPS receiver) and that they will go to great lengths to compensate for latency variations so not doing it in the sampling code would be nuts (or just not using isochronous coms). Then the local clock/timer can be calibrated from the that and you can have near clock-cycle correct timing. Typically they only send out 1 pulse per second so anything finer than that is locally interpolated. We used 1ms internal intervals with an accuracy of ~1ppm.

Last time I worked on something like this was 20 years ago, but it was a Pentium box. The clock firmware to converted a 5MHz sinewave output to 1Pps, but could also output a synthetic UTC through LAN in cases where there was no other connectivity. I guess I'm saying this is really specialized code for whatever hardware/OS you're using.

(edit) Here's some documentation for a very similar box:
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1281621/Symmetricom-5071a....
It was my understanding that yes.

OS encryption would prevent controller from understanding what's on the drive and managing it correctly, up to and including effectively disabling trim command as controller would never see blocks as empty.

This is back in days of ocz vertex. It wasn't like advertised / warned on the box, it would work... Just like western digital didn't warn about wd red becoming SMR drive while being advertised for Nas. But it would eventually kill performance and drive. You'd have to read Tom's hardware and anadtech etc to learn about it. I don't really follow anymore so I don't know how nicely os full drive encryption and ssds play today.

Thanks for the response!

Yeah, Ménière’s and BPPV has been ruled out, thankfully.

The oddity is that the sets of symptoms waxes and wanes on the order of months. I had sudden hypertension (170/100, not overweight, ~155lbs and 5'9, decently healthy diet for sodium, etc) from 2016-2019, then within a couple months it completely disappeared and went back to normal (120/65). No known or significant changes in diet or lifestyle when it dropped or leading up to it.

I've kind of just "accepted" that I will have these various, "random" health issues, and am just doing my best to figure things out / mitigate them as they come along. The neck-tension-turning-into these "cervicogenic headaches" are the largest common hurdle to my life on a frequent basis. I can deal with the other noise of issues.

Anyway. Thanks again for responding!

Yep, an unpowered hard disk will be rated to something like 250 g's of shock and -40C to +70C temperatures.
