I think you can call ant societies civilizations, but the same time you can call a multi cellular organism a civilization, too. Usually, those also come from the same genetic seed similar to (most) ant colonies. But more importantly, you have various types of cooperation and specialization in multi cellular life. Airways are "ventillation", chitin using or keratinated tissues are "architecture", and there is even "animal husbandry" in the form of bacterial colonies living in organs.

I find this a curious, borderline alarmist framing of the automatic update mechanism. Many pieces of software have automatic updates. What you say is no less true for common programs like Firefox or Google Chrome.

Obviously you have to consider your threat model, but the number of people willing to trust a specific Syncthing binary they're downloading from the internet, but who are wary of trusting published updates going forward, must be relatively small.

(I am a Linux user and use the OS packages rather than automatic updates, but automatic updates are quite common outside of Linux distro packages)

I think the big thing we're missing is some shared set of optimism and an idea of what kinds of things we should want for ourselves.

Even setting aside internal GC, there is read-side benefit to having fewer contiguous sections: your large read request needs to be split into fewer IOs. This matters if you're reading the output of this workload. https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3477132.3483593 discusses it in a sciencey way.

DAE Java bad? Seriously.
Production emissions are dwarfed by lifetime CO2 emissions of fossil fuel vehicles, which need to be off the road as soon as possible. The quickest way to do that is with small, cheap cars that don't require bottleneck resources like cobalt and nickel.

I wish we had countries with efficient, clean production practices building small EVs using scalable production techniques like China, but give the choice between BYD's approach and that of your average US automakers, I think BYD's approach is better. (Maybe South Korea is a contender for being a legitimate competitor to China. I don't think they've done much with LFP batteries as far as I know, but it looks like LG chem is working on LFP plants though so maybe that'll change.)

It seems to be fairly established terminology, having sat in that RFC for the last 28 years.

I don't understand why so much emphasis is put on optimizing for sequential reads and writes. Sequential IO is not something that happens in the real world except in rare circumstances. In most applications IO is random, even if it's a log file.
Ah yeah, that's pretty cool. Something like that!!
I suspect that there's a sweet spot that combines a collection of several "neurons" and a human-readable explanation given a certain kind of prompt. However, this "three-body problem" will probably need some serious analytical capability to understand at scale
As a content creator, the fear of being randomly banned / blacklisted by the platform I use is all too real. It happened to a friend of mine with a decent sized YouTube channel for 0 legitimate reason.

Carlson picked the twitter platform not because it’s the best tool to host a show (YouTube or twitch would be better), but because it’s the place least likely to ban him.

That might be the beginning of a new MOAT for twitter, if they survive long enough to make something from it. And politics aside could be beneficial to everyone.
> So sequential I/O is perhaps half-dead; there's no need to optimize layouts for sequential reads any more.

Yes and no. Large contiguous IOs are still faster to read than a bunch of random small sectors. You generally want your frequently read files/blobs to be split into as few operations as possible.

I ditched my final spinning rust (a WD Black 2.5” 7200RPM drive I had jammed into my home server) last night actually. It’s all SSDs in my server, and it’s all NVMe in my gaming desktop. My Macs and my partner iPad are all flash too obviously.

Those people would also organize and run the club. This is just a site to connect people together. That's the easy part.
The users have a certain responsibility for finding what they are interested in themselves. If you rely only on Google in this year, you will miss out. Everything can not be on the front page at the same time. It's the same if you go to a store IRL, with the exception that you of course are free to start your browsing anywhere else than on Google - like most people do today with social media.
Maybe the neurons are the hardware layer. The software is represented by the electronic activity. There is a good video https://youtu.be/XheAMrS8Q1c about this topic.
To add to that, the penalty for random writes is paid not only with performance but also in durability of the drive.
SMR and zoned storage offer compete and total utter crap performance in the real world. They have all the glass jaws of early flash firmware (garbage collection that took seconds to complete during which time no additional I/Os completed) while running on a medium that has many orders of magnitude higher latency than flash. Take 2008 era USB flash drives and that's about what you'll get out of an SMR HDD when using a write workload that isn't 100% large sequential writes.

SMR might have become more relevant if it had provided a useful increase in density, but that never materialized as was originally promised. Retail prices for SMR drives were never much better than CMR. The largest generally available HDDs are available in CMR flavours because that's what's needed in real world servers. There's no 10x density improvement (or even 2x). Meanwhile flash is marching relentlessly down the cost reduction path afford by Moore's law + 3D layer stacking. Really fast 1TB NVMe SSDs are under $100 now, and it doesn't look like flash cost reduction is going to slow down any time soon.
15 minutes of full-body UV exposure from the sun is estimated to provide the equivalent of 20-30,000 IU Vitamin D3.

Gobs. This is Pure Storage's entire market.
The thing that still bothers me is that the read-write cycles and lifetime are sort of unpredictable to me personally.

For an analogy, I only buy LED lightbulbs, love that tech. When they first became widely-available, my house had a few incandescent bulbs on the porch that I probably just left on for 5 years.

The supposedly superior led bulbs in that adoption period often died surprisingly fast, compared to the claims.

To bring it back to storage. I use as much NVMe as I can, but I’m still a bit uncertain on how much a risk I’m taking with my filesystem choice and access patterns.

My answer: buy more SSDs when they go on sale! I don’t have intuition about lifetime even now.

I know, HDDs have equivalent classes of worse problems. I just learned to expect them to reliably fail, like a few days after a build ;)
The RFC which defines the term is from 1995, so it's been established enough to find its way into an RFC 28 years ago.
>Increasingly poor economic prospects" isn't true.

We've gone from the celebrated one-income households in the 1950s

Our long trend certainly seems to fit within a description of Increasingly Poor Economic Prospects
If your concern is that the researchers failed at picking confederates whose race, judged by appearance, would be interpreted the way the researchers expected it to be, close enough to 100% of the time to not have affected the outcome... I very much doubt they failed in that way.

If that's not your concern, then I've lost track of what your complaint is.

[EDIT] Reply to your edit: Yes, that's... the point? [EDIT AGAIN] Wait, are you saying that it's racist for the researchers to categorize pedestrians' races based on appearance? If so, I'd regard that objection as specious. That's not racist. Having-to-do-with-race isn't what racism is. It could be inaccurate (or not!) but it's not racist. In any event, it seems they didn't actually measure a difference in reaction of pedestrians based on their own race (!) so it may not be relevant anyway.
There is no evidence that any of those are emergent properties. It’s no more or less logical than asserting they were placed there by a creator.

The other two ways I've seen are committing to lifetime bugfixes but maintaining a feature lock based on last license renewal or releasing a separate app per release. The first is actually a different model but if you're alright with it from the developer side then it's very similar from the user's perspective. The second is either different or the same depending on how it's implemented. 2a is commit to upgrading these apps for life the same as the first method, at which point it largely turns into a worse option to both sides. 2b is to not commit to lifetime updates, at which point it's not really lifetime as much as "until Apple removes it from the App Store and you need to download it on a new device".

Based on the wording comment it sounds like there may be additional ways I haven't seen but you didn't really say what they were as much as dismiss the point assuming everyone knew what apps or release models you are familiar with.

I agree an in App Store solution like the one you describe would be the preferred answer for most users. Sideloading is more useful as a catch-all for anything Apple doesn't have a good first party answer for. Once non policy related use cases for the sideloading exist it's going to be easier for most to have a first party solution for those use cases.
This makes me feel better about my own conversational habit. I do interrupt, but do so to make sure that I'm understanding what the person is telling me. So it's generally with a question, or to mention a different application of what they're talking about, etc.

I've always felt a little bad about this habit, but I've found that if I just shut up and nod along, I stop really listening to what they're saying and my retention/understanding plummets.

But apparently, my habit isn't a bad one!

That's clever and elegant, well done. I'm really interested, especially since it turns out to be more than just a ChatGPT front-end.
If you smuggle "pilfer" into the description of AI, then in that case it's "obvious".

But the comparison could just as easily be written, "One is a computer program, literally designed to learn from copyrighted works, the other is a human being that learns from copyrighted works"

If ChatGPT is parroting entire paragraphs of copyrighted work in its answers, then "pilfer" is probably the right word. Or maybe "plagiarize". But if it's training on the information gleaned from the work, and using that training to synthesize the answers, isn't that a lot more like how a learned person applies their knowledge?

I haven't yet made up my mind completely on how IP should interact with AI. I see good arguments for and against. But the answer is far from obvious!
As I've become older, I've also found that in winter, my skin starts to be a bit unhappy (fingertips on the right hand getting rough and a bit broken up, usually, but it can also be a bit below the eyes), and my gut starts to be rather unhappy. When the sunshine returns, and I get some sun-on-skin time during the day, it all goes away. I'm now experimenting with vitamin D supplementation.

Regarding your comments about doctors; yes.

I may be completely wrong, but I think they have a revolving door of patients, and are restricted to actions which are permitted and/or supplied by their institution, or larger, national regulator.

I've found that doing my own investigations, usually via Eurakalert, leads me to finding a considerable number of modern, up to date, wel designed studies, and as a result, and also knowing my own body properly, and over all of my life, and caring for it in a way which is impossible for a doctor with a large number of patients all of whom he gets to see for an appointment every month or whatever it is, I give myself infinitely better treatment than a doctor.

My experience of institutionalized medicine has been high prices, rote treatments, lack of insight or imagination, and on one occasion, completely unnecessary full chest x-ray (which I would no longer stand for, but I was younger at the time).

The only use I see for them is access to larger treatments, such as surgical treatments, which cannot otherwise be obtained.
