> What if I want to move my own drive somewhere else?

That's the fun part: you don't. Move the contents somewhere else, format the drive, and move them back. Also another cool feature: if the TPM stops working for some reason you lose all your data! (unless you have offsite backups, which you should anyways). I'm saying this kinda jokingly but this really is a feature of keeping the keys in your TPM, in a lot of situations this is a desired behavior.

Be aware that in the case of Bitlocker specifically Microsoft "conveniently" saves your encryption key on their "cloud", so you don't really need the TPM to decrypt stuff, which of course goes completely against the purpose of storing the key there in the first place. Oh yeah, also: DON'T trust Bitlocker, it's absolutely compromised if you are using an SSD which provides firmware "encryption". [0][1]

Go in peace. You can lead a man to knowledge but you can't make him think. And yeah, it was two people, not three. Doesn't change the fact you don't listen AT ALL. But I suspect this isn't the first time in your life you've ever heard that.
Mice brains are a lot easier to image than human brains afaik, solely because they can fit into such a tiny MRI tube, with far simpler magnets. So if any mouse MRI tech is scaled to a human device, it will almost certainly have far less resolution.
Even when using a very strong password, you should still use a KDF, since many ciphers expect uniformly random keys. But it could be a cheap unsalted one instead of an expensive salted hash.
If you're a billionaire, maybe.

For everyone else, the current climate trajectory doesn't bode well.
>Europe cannot let an increasingly unstable Elon Musk be the de facto gatekeeper to space.

unstable according to who, the media who are mad at him over Twitter? I keep seeing people make claims like this but if he was such a lunatic it seems like Blue Origin, Lockheed/Boeing, or the entirety of Europe should be able to beat SpaceX pretty easy if it's being run by a lunatic or just wait for it to collapse. Occam's razor would be that Musk isn't really as crazy as his public persona
I use it personally and at work.

Personally:
- I have a few raspberry Pis and PCs around the house. This lets me SSH into them for maintenance/etc. It’s also good for projects and stuff to use their DNS. Eg I can use “http://nas/photos” to get to my photo library instead of an IP address. No TLD is kinda cool (it’s just a net search group afaik so reproducible without them) but very memorable for the family. I’ve also gone as far as to embed their library in a go project I made - it means the same IP address and host name regardless of where the binary is running which is cool. This also means the binary knows who is who when accessing the website it hosts. The ease of doing this makes me feel like projects like OpenZiti bay be the future of zero trust and networking - embed the security into the code via a library and get all the global routing you need for free.

Work:
I work at a tiny company (5 of us). We do IOT stuff, and we have a lab with a bunch of equipment, mostly controlled by Raspberry Pis or similar. We’re small so we work in a private room in a coworking space. We use tailscale to manage the RPIs and keep consistent IP addresses when we don’t have control over the overall network. We also run some internal stuff in AWS over tailscale (eg our staging servers etc). It’s hands down the easiest option to onboard people too. It lets us access equipment from home if needed, and it’s super lightweight compared to other VPNs I’ve used.
The whole point was that most of the world was pro-nazi until the events of WW2 and the holocaust. And if you are comparing someone's views in the 30s to the current worldview, I hate to break it to you that everyone's racist and fascist, including Roosevelt, Churchill and MK Gandhi. Gandhi pretty much called for the Jews to offer themselves up to be butchered by Nazis and Arabs.
> As Microsoft puts it: “We are continuing the exploration of badging on the Start menu with several new treatments for users logging in with local user accounts to highlight the benefits of signing in with a Microsoft account (MSA).”

What is Microsoft really thinking here? You have to go out of your way (and probably do a web search) in order to figure out how to install Win 11 without using a Microsoft Account. So those people deliberately chose that -- they didn't avoid the MSA because they were unaware of the benefits, they did it because they were aware of the drawbacks and want to avoid them.

Harassing them seems more likely to make them angry than to make them change their minds.
The chemical process of producing cement involves heating calcium carbonate to get lime and CO2. Most of the emissions are from this chemical process, not from transportation or operating machinery, although those usually also contribute quite a bit of CO2
I think Chess offers a model for post-AI life. Computers are much better and yet people keep playing, keep trying to invent human-comprehensible theories, but also using computer support to do so. A funny detail is that accuracy has been flipped on its head, and is used to measure humans by machine standards.
Ya, we're in the beginning stages of The Great Filter.
This might sound dumb, but one interesting thing about Star Trek TNG was that Picard and Riker (captain / first mate) were the two foremost computer experts on the ship. It’s explicitly stated that they have the most knowledge of how the ship’s computer works.

Perhaps this was prescient. As tech begins to play an increasingly dominant role, the humans who directly manage that tech will play an increasingly dominant role as well.
This has been tried and works pretty well. My own parent was able to get into Uni and attended solely b/c they had to accept them if they had a High School diploma [1]. They easily might not have gone to Uni at all otherwise. And here's the thing- perhaps shocking to some- they actually blossomed in that environment, eventually displaying intelligence and aptitude that their High School teachers would never have believed.

So, perhaps binning children as teenagers and sorting them for life is actually wrought? Perhaps some of the people posting against this idea benefitted from admissions not b/c of their higher merit, but because it gave cover to the falsehood of such higher merit.

Universities have "competitive" admissions to cultivate mystique and exclusivity, because it gives them better pricing power and more donations.

[1] https://www.tonganoxiemirror.com/news/2016/jan/22/kansas-uni... [relevant quote: "Prior to 2001, Kansas universities guaranteed admission to anyone who graduated from an accredited Kansas high school, according to the Regents."]

Hi, thank you for your feedback. Currently, the product is intended for inspiration purposes only.
Before my time but we had some extended outages owing to rethink. We pushed most of our documents into postgres jsonb. We got pretty far relationalizing the data when I was here, but there was some bad old data that wasn't porting & debates about if the architecture was right, & we gave up the relationalization effort, after a squad worked on it for over a year, basically at the go/no go mark. Sad stuff. But the architecture was pretty meh.

I might suggest checking out ArrangoDB if you are RethinkDB interested. Similar capabilities ish. Very active development. They up sell pretty heavily into the Enterprise offering but the community one is still quite capable.
I got an MRI of my knee after my injury. It didn't seem significant in any way. The ultrasound of my pregnant wife was way crazier to me.

reads more like someone taking a sabbatical than nope-ing out

if you can swing it, sabbaticals seem like a great idea

everyone I know who has left tech "permanently" has eventually come to the same conclusion - other industries are also bullshit and pay less
That is interesting, but it requires suspension of disbelief to think that the foremost computer expert will also be the foremost management expert. The aptitudes and personalities required for deep understanding of tech rarely present with those required for effective management of large organizations.
I do agree with the environment changing and less adaptable, less useful companies will fold and faux VCs will evaporate Which I think is good. The startup scene and VC scene was clearly about hype and growth. Of the last decades lots of innovation, but, what are the top companies from this time period? I am curious of analysis of ZIRP era startups that are really strong and would like a list to just peruse. There is of course what seems like the SoftBank effect, which seemed to exist to lose and push hype around the least capable businesses that fade when growth at all costs is the goal.

Anyway, has been truly interesting to see how things play out and actually which technology has changed lives and the future of society.
Interactive visualization of 20M biomedical articles
To determine CO2, you can just look at the amount of fuel consumed. That'll get you close enough.

A leaf-blower running for one hour will burn roughly 1/2 gal. of fuel. A 40mpg car going from LA to Denver will burn about 25 gallons of fuel.

That car trip will generate around 50 times as much CO2 as the blower
I had a similar feeling when the doctor showed the MRI images going progressively deeper into my brain. It was truly bizarre and made me squirm in discomfort. I hadn't expected to feel that way.
"per hour" vs "per mile" is an odd comparison. A car probably travels 60 miles in that hour.
> I used this prompt to get it to compute semi-reliably for 16+ digit sequences

That’s what I saw too, errors coming in around item 16 to 30, depending on small changes in the requested output. It looked like it was reading the wrong items from the list, possibly the attention was at slightly the wrong position. It would be interesting to know how that error changes, eg, is it tending to read earlier or later items?

What kind of graphics card are you using and have you run into many issues for multi display and/or high refresh rates (assuming you're running this)?

I'm so close to dumping windows and my final concern is gpu and multi monitor support. I only ever run linux on servers or VMs, so no real experience on bare metal.
I’ve always thought positively about Netlify. About to launch my startup there as well.

I was thinking about using their identity and access plug-in to build out member access only pages. Would Render have this capability? Or any other non-code recommendations?
Eh, it's part of it, but not the whole story. Utah is a pretty close place and it has a lot of sprawl (traffic isn't too bad though). So many things have changed in the last half-century or so that I don't think you can point to any one thing as the cause. Even in a city with a lot of sprawl you likely have a lot more people you are within a 10 minute walk of than someone in a mid-size town is within a 10 minute drive of, it's just hard to meet those people because most people stay within their existing bubbles unless some event shakes up their life (breakup, job change, moving, etc.)
I agree with your sentiment, but I'm not sure we'll get many people on board with "ban all cars".

But we probably can get many people on board with something like, own only one car and stop wasting money on new highways and items like that.

I think people can understand a world where they are walking to the grocery store and their car is for some random trip to the lake (one that ideally takes a bit longer with just two lane road and such). I'm not sure they'll be able to understand a world where cars don't even exist.
Considering most software already fails on the first aspect, do the other four points really matter at all?
Really? I've only used it for small projects but I would see build times of around 5 minutes for Node back ends and NextJS front ends.
You could set machines up for family that don't know better and they will see the popup and create the account themselves... same as with badgering for upgrades, had family that eventually upgraded by mistake then panick if/when things didnt work
Idk about allowing imitation, but acting like some artists aren't excited for this technology is painting with way too broad a brush.

This dude was super excited that he worked an Eminem deepfake into his performance: https://youtu.be/40lOIZLUACU
Some related worries:

No AVIF implementation supports all what the clarification there claims. Sometimes it has happened that the implementations led to the practical standardization, instead of what is written in the spec.

No one has yet seen the tile grid artefacts. One could expect that there will be barely visible stripes extending from one side of the image to the other, and from bottom to top. This would be because of 'loop filtering' and 'noise synthesis' states not shared between frames.

No one really knows how the coding performance is for 12-bit photographs. AV1 needs to double escape large values which can reduce entropy coding performance of large values. Lossless coding commonly codifies larger values than lossy (due to less quantization). One might be able to observe this in the performance of the lossless coding.

No one knows how much progressive AVIF will compress. The implementation doesn't exist yet. The progressive approach chosen is new, very different from JPEG1/JPEG XL approach. It will be interesting to learn about its performance.
Hi, thanks for the feedback! NSFW image filter will be added into the pipeline, and the upcoming version will allow you to modify results using prompts.
I agree regarding leaving VC as an associate. Many of these positions are not partner-track. Also, in a world in which term sheets were being signed in 48 hours, it isn't clear what skills they've been building (no financial analysis, little-to-no due diligence, no deal sourcing).

At a certain point internet shops refused to hire me, so not surprised you don't see any. (No, I specialize in Python and JS not COBOL so shouldn't be considered out of date.)
> Southwest should be more resilient in some ways in that all of their flights are done with the same type of plane, so they can always swap in a different plane for the task

That's not that unusual for their size airline. But, some of their planes have more seats than others, so on fully booked routes, swapping in a smaller capacity plane is still a problem. Certainly, a smaller problem than if they swapped in a plane the current crew couldn't fly.

I don't know where other airlines keep contingency planes, but I'd imagine they might keep them at their larger hubs, which would give you a decent chance of having a contingency plane at the right location; with Southwest's model, I think any contingency planes are going to have to first deadhead to the route, adding more confusion and delay. :/

At least they fixed this one quickly; once the backlog got too big last time, it was very difficult to fix.
I think what they were alluding to is their long fairing option being, well, fairly long. F9's is maybe a bit undersized in part due to starting out a lot weaker than it is today, albeit it is a good size for Starlink.
I love it!

It'd be nice if there was a way to say what is and is not changeable.

For example, I noticed it usually improves the view outside of the windows to be beautiful vistas -- not something you can do without moving. Being able to request that other things not change, like the floor plan or the flooring for example, would be nice.

I like how the AI will randomly turn furniture into a dog, as if to say, "improve this room with a furry friend." :)
I abandoned Windows on my own machines over 20 years ago. Sadly, however, I'm still forced to use it at work. If I could abandon it there, too, I would in a heartbeat.
I believe the application code is single threaded due to its interpreter too.
I'm surprised that no one has said "work."

(Or maybe not surprised, since there is a vocal minority on this board that would rather just receive work assignments on a folded piece of paper shoved under their door and never interact with coworkers.)

I have dedicated the last 1.5 years of my life to finding "my people." As in, I literally quit my job and started joining meetups, hikes, groups, maker spaces, attending events, organizing my own, and just hanging out in public all the time.

Long story short, I am no better off socially than I was 1.5 years ago. I am looking for work again so I can make work friends.

I've become acquainted with a handful of people. Despite a lot of probing and chatting, I haven't clicked with anyone.

In sum, I consider the last 1.5 years of my life time mostly wasted. I should have either kept trying to make closer friends through work or done something more radical than just trying to be more social.
I think Borland is great example of what happens when you don't care about backward compatibility and try to milk your customers all the time.

Even since Turbo Pascal, and with Delphi, every new version (5->6->7) of a compiler/tool required new compiled libraries/components. Eventually a lot of shops (and Delphi and C++ builder were huge in xUSSR, for example) stopped to care and moved on to Java/C#.

ENA, especially. An X would have been better suited within the usual CEO pool, I think.

But of course he was chief of staff of an important Minister before he was appointed CEO of Arianespace so you know...

Within this system Arianespace and the EU were never to be innovators and disruptors, and still aren't geared to catch up.

In a way, this is a bit Nokia vs Apple unfolding in the space sector.
You should've learned having taste is an instant disqualifier for employment at Microsoft after Windows 8.
In the age of internet sales it goes from 'just tax the receiving locale (POS?)' or 'just tax the company locale' to dealing with multiple entities (headquarters, warehousing, staffing, customers) all in different locations co-mingled across different state jurisdictions. Sales tax is also awfully regressive.
> The US has the same issue with the SLS where the senators are mud-fighting to gather more pork for their states. Ariane is really public sector just like SLS even though it's run by Boeing.

I think the tragic part is that the Ariane 5 was an extremely commercially competitive rocket before SpaceX came along. They certainly beat the pants off of ULA. Whereas SLS was never going to be anything but a boondoggle.

> The bigger issue is why Europe doesn't have a SpaceX but then again the US only has one and for many years people were saying it would crash and burn, which it literally did many times. It could easily have gone another way.

We'll see. Between Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, and Relativity, I'm willing to bet that at least 1 becomes commercially successful over the next decade.
As electrolysis is also an electrochemical process, it is identical in basic nature as charging a battery. These are statements revealing the writer's ignorance of the basic facts, proving the point that people are refusing to explore the existence of superior battery technology.

Exactly the same for me. Awesome company.
Good for her. Before her there were people like Lee Smolin. They eventually get cancelled by the physics community, like short sellers in investment, no one wants to hear the sad trumpet but the "market" doesn't function without skeptics.

Theoretical discoveries are good, but some ego, some hype for funding, and some clickbaiting have made reporting on science even from the better sources like Quanta too focused on finding aliens and the grand unification or commercial fusion or whatever at least just by what gets written and posted, it seems like that.
Tailscale is the only exciting non-AI company. It solves hard problems in a very elegant way.
Shared spaces are not for me. I’d much rather have my own workshop where I don’t have to share. That’s the beauty of the American lifestyle, you don’t have to share. Your home is your castle.
Yeah, I think there's a "stone soup" effect going on with AI.

It's the same sort of thing you see happening with the customers of psychics. People often have poor awareness of how much they're putting in to a conversation. Or it's a bit like the way Tom Sawyer tricks other kids into painting the fence for him. For me a lot of the magic here is in knowing what questions to ask and when the answers aren't right. If you have those skills, is pounding out the code that hard?

The interesting part for me is not generating new bits of code, but the long-term maintenance of a whole thing. A while back there was a fashion for coding "wizards", things that would ask some questions and then generate code for you. People were very excited, as they saw it as lowering the barrier to entry. But the fashion died out because it just pushed all the problems a bit further down the road. Now you had novice developers trying to understand and improve code they weren't competent to write.

I suspect that in practice, anything a person can get a LLM to wholly write is also something that could be turned into a library or framework or service or no-code tool that they can just use. That, basically, if the novelty is low enough that an LLM can produce it, the novelty is low enough that there are better options than writing the code from scratch over and over.

Exactly, it's just the wrong people at the top and the wrong incentives. Is Arianespace structurally capable of producing economical access to space? Probably not.
