Intermittent computing has been interesting for a while to me. I've been thinking of how some technologies used today have implemented the technique of harvesting small amounts of energy to perform some operations required for a given task.

See for instance iLOQ, they provide locks/keys that are authenticated through harvesting energy from a user simply inserting the key, and in that time authenticates if the user is the owner of the lock [1].

I wonder where there are more products like these...

As far as I can tell, all of these photos are taken in Moscow's center. It was (and still is) the wealthiest and most privileged place of all the nation. And Russia is a much more centralized country than US/UK, with bigger wealth disparity which is very correlated with geography, so even if I told you to compare to Manhattan or London of the same time, it would still be apples to oranges.
The falling cost of storage is at least partly the reason hosting a few thousand packages takes up hundreds of TB. "Storage is practically free" from the perspective of each of those projects. By the time .5 PB is a trivial cost, they'll need 50 PB.

I may agree that 25 days off at a certain job is better for that individual, or even me. What i am against is creating creating government rules that impose such schemes into everyone without their consent.
Again, you're imploring 'there must' but without evidence to back that position.

I'm not necessarily saying I disagree with your belief, merely that I don't share the same conviction that the argument's a done deal.

The patient analogy isn't terribly compelling, mostly because the patient, biologically, evolutionarily, previously, has presumably exhibited consciousness (using whatever measure you may prefer) -- and in this context that capability has been temporarily retarded and is now being regained. So there's no actual question there of the capability of consciousness, at least as most reasonable people would characterise it.

The suggestion that complexity and consciousness are linearly correlated ... well, I don't think that's generally accepted, though it may well be true. Or at least, mostly true. But again, not a done deal.

Given the spectrum of species alive (and previously alive) on this planet, the spectrum claim does sound like something we could evaluate using a natural experiment.

I suspect a discussion down that path would require at least one of us to define consciousness.

So, good luck with that. ; )
Yeah. It's honestly quite shocking to me that people don't seem to know he's a socialist. As recently as last year, he said words like "the state should determine what citizens need to survive" in front of a camera, literal communist speech on its own and it gets even worse if you consider the complete context of the video. And yet people are incredulous. Every single time that I mention it in passing, the thread degenerates into me bringing up old facts about brazilian politics as if it was news because otherwise I look like an idiot in public. People try to gaslight me and call me a moron for taking the guy's words and actions seriously.
A few ideas:

- how binary works and a high level of how source code gets compiled to an executable
- psuedo code logic problem solving - learning if/then etc

CAs can issue certificates without logging them, but such certificates will lack receipts (SCTs) from CT logs, and will be rejected by major browsers.
Well it's not that hard, or that important, they're not truck drivers.
If you have a rough idea how it works, include these in your google queries to get results that go into details ;)

Some more things to include:

- perspective correction may be needed (the surface with the QR code is not parallel to the image plane, so pixels further away get smaller)

- if the algorithm takes parameters, such as color filters / black-vs-white thresholds, try with different parameter sets in sequence. The user is pointing the camera at the code for a relatively long time, compared to the time it takes to process an image.

- pixely images should produce a recognizable pattern in the fourier transform of the image. This gives you the size AND rotation at once.

(edit: formatting)
> C) provision certificates for this address using the DNS-Challenge approach rather than the HTTP-challenge approach.

The other "bonus" is that due to CT it leaks the internal name to basically everyone on the internet. It may or may not be a problem but definitely something to be aware of.

That's not an excuse when the same thing happens the other way around:

"Let's have discussions until 2 weeks before the deadline for something that needs 2 weeks of development time!"

"..wait, why are we having performance issues? Why did we not think of this one case that's occurring every 5 seconds?"

People are very eager to take article's example and use it to slam individuals they have a vendetta against, while looking away from the other extreme which has the exact same problem. Going too fast is a problem. So is going too slow and LARPing as a clairvoyant, getting close to a deadline and then business forces you to get disciplined and deliver something not battle-tested.

> No, i am not the one advocating for mandatory schemes, which some people push into the rest, usually through government.

I can conclude then that you are also not an advocate against child labour, as that is a mandatory scheme pushed through government. You are also not an advocate against monopolies, since those are regulated through the government.
Yes, there's a package manager built by Chef called Habitat that is essentially based of the nix philosophy but with several simplifications to make it more approachable.

- Packages are written as plan files in bash or powershell (https://docs.chef.io/habitat/plan_writing/)

- Once built packages are gauranteed to run with the exact same dependencies it was built with.

- Packages are downloaded from a remote builder server by default not built locally from a derivation, similar to other package managers like apt, npm, etc.

- Each package is installed in a unique prefix of the form origin/name/version/release

- Packages are not content addressable, insteas public/private keys are used to verify package contents

- It supports packages on x86 windows and Linux at the moment, but there are plans for ARM and macos support in the future

It is used in production by several large enterprise customers.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the developers working on Habitat

Thats true, and I didn't actually want to suggest using the cheapest server available as a singular node either.

I just wanted to put the given numbers into the scale of the cheapest baremetal servers available on the market, to illustrate that this is not an amount of data you'd have to consider for scaling. Realistically speaking, you'd want to have more then 2 nodes so you don't have to worry about rebooting/updates etc
Because LSP is not just "give me some semi-decent completions based on parsing tokens in this file". Proper LSP will treat code semantically, in case of e.g. Rust it may complete a method name from a trait method because you have the trait somewhere in scope, which comes from a third-party package which the LSP also parses, where it needs to expand some procedural macros to get to source code, etc etc.

We've been spoiled by good LSPs, perhaps. But again, it's not just "parse this file please".
They are pivoting the work they do for workstations away from applications to HDR etc.

That 'for' doesn't mean they are pivoting to Workstations.

I think this is still true of the West though. I have spent many, many years in Southeast Asia, and construction sites there are 50% female — I think it’s a stretch to suggest that’s normal in the West though.

That said, certainly in Thailand commercial driving is still very, very male dominated, and job ads will explicitly insist on men; I’d estimate less than 1/100 motorsai drivers I’ve seen were female, and 90% of those were “Tom”[0].

Without the government imposing such schemes you end up where the USA is right now: a few skilled jobs are granted the extreme privilege of time off, for the rest you grant nothing. Are they peasants in your eyes?

The government should be responsible to provide a minimum of quality of life to its citizens, to give away this power is to relinquish one of the main benefits of being a State.

End of child labour and slavery was imposed onto a lot of societies without everyone's consent, it doesn't mean it is wrong for the government to do so.

Imposing a minimum of paid time off to humans, allowing humans to have time off from work to actually enjoy being humans, is to determine a minimum baseline of quality of life to all of your citizens. You seem to rather prefer to only allow that to a privileged class, because that's what happens in reality when the government does not impose a modicum of morality into the system.

The law specifically bans the wearing of religious symbols or garb, is my understanding, for gov employees.

But the question is not what the law says, but how it is applied, and to whom, which gets lost in the transition to the paper trail.

edit: A good way to think about it, IMO, is to remember for a moment that everything a politician does is performative - whether they believe it or don't, every public action is actually a pantomime which is intended to please or appease. With that in mind, who is Quebec pleasing or appeasing with this law? Atheists? Please.

Another comparison one could draw, and perhaps a more apt one than the confederacy, would be to Utah, where it's known that if you try to do business there, it is not a secular government and you need to either bribe or work around the church. Quebec enjoys a similar license to pass shit laws/policies that do not pass the Charter, and the feds do nothing because they'll just have another referendum about it.
Sounds about right. You might possibly be able to bring the server cost down to like $20K if you really turn every stone looking for good offers (for a storage server like this you can probably go with a refurbished machine; the demand on the hardware is really nothing to write home about), but you should be paying hundreds per month, absolutely nowhere near $10k/month.
My grand mother [1] has tracked down many of those oaks and produced imprints [2] of their barks as a tribute to the trees and also to the (both public and private) owners of the forests in which the trees have been cut.

At least 1k oaks were harvested from forests everywhere in France. [3] The majority of them were given for free to help in the rebuilding, and trees of this age/dimensions/quality are definitely not cheap. Both the cutting and moving of such trees -- between 6 and 13 meters, up to 15 tons! -- requires careful planning and flawless execution as they need to be taken out of the forests and preserved during their journey to the sawmill [4] in the North of France. (Here is also an interview of the sawmill operators [5].)

From what I gather, Japan's attack did come as a surprise. The two parties were at odds, but not to the point that a war was an immediate concern.

No doubt some in the government wanted to attack, no different than you could find who want to attack Iran in today's government, but it's not the US government's position. FDR was definitely more interested in getting involved internationally, but the Republicans were staunchly isolationist.

The comparison to Russia and Ukraine is there. Russia preemptively attacked Ukraine because it wanted to prevent NATO from getting a foothold in it's sphere of influence. Japan considering the Pacific Ocean and namely the resources in South East Asian there's, so preemptively attacked the US to prevent it from opposing it's control over the Pacific.

>SS Sturmbannführer Wehrner von Braun almost certainly knew of forced labour used in the V2 program but rose to prominence in NASA with no reckoning of his past.

And the US knew of the slave labor used by Belgium in Congo to extract uranium for the nuclear weapons program which killed dozens to hundreds of Congolese but for some reason we never talk about that as it's always "hey, don't look over there, look at the evil Nazis instead".
That’s what a disabling trigger on the steering wheel would be for, one of the reasons at least. There may be situations where I want to ensure it is off, such as in an environment where it has often detected false positives in the past.

There was no outright fraud. There has been a massive amount of time, money, investigation, and litigation that all points in the same direction.

So why do so many people believe there was election fraud in 2020?

There are too many people with financial incentives to make people outraged now:

- Social media platforms,
- new media companies,
- hybrid entertainment-journalism companies,
- fake media companies,
- wealthy idiots dipping into politics (Patrick Byrne, Mike Liddell, Ginny Thomas, etc),
- campaigns raising huge money on "stop the steal" claims (Donny Trump, Kari Lake)
- a cottage industry of charlatan lawyers litigating "Stop The Steal" without any evidence (Rudy Giuliani, Sydney Powell, Lin Wood)

I don't think it's a stretch to say that these people don't care about the truth. They are in it for the power and/or money. And after the 2008 SCOTUS decision that unleashed unlimited money in politics, elections have become the cheaper alternative to having to compete in the marketplace.

Also worth pointing out that Trump re-engaged many voters who were disillusioned by politics before him (and thus, completely ignorant about policies). He turned political rallies into WWE wrasslin' shows -- I with I could unread all of the articles which mentioned "heel" and "kayfabe". Sadly the target audience of WWE isn't exactly media literate and probably can't tell the differences between fact, opinion, hyperbole, and completely fabricated gossip.

Interesting to me that the French have no issue at all with military parades, but it would raise a lot of eyebrows in the US, and in the UK any such thing is much more a silly hats and swords affair. I wonder if the French take on the military is more that it’s a tool of the people and in the Anglosphere it’s considered more a tool of the state.

You could have just asked any survivor of these times.

As yourself: would you write a similar comment about Nazi Germany? May be you would consider it insensitive to the millions of its victims? Well, your comment about USSR is insensitive exactly for the same reasons.

I was born in that country, many members of my family have had to survive through it, and many didn't — just as many others have been killed by the Nazis. And westerners who, out of mistrust to their government, begin to whitewash Soviet union make my blood boil. You're as bad as holocaust deniers.

You don't have to go back to the 50's. You can see buildings like that in any european capital today. Moscow from the 50's looks very in line with most european capitals by the way.

>I didn’t think they illustrated what it felt like to have secret police looking over your shoulder. If you weren’t in trouble with the state or an upper class westerner I don’t think there was a huge difference in lifestyle between East and West Europe for most people until the late 60’s / early 70’s

Sometimes I have the impression that Hollywood movies gave people a permanent wrong perception about what it really means to live in a dictatorship with a secret police. For the urban middle/upper class it didn't mean much except if you were involved in politics. That was the case in Latin America at least.

I guess the biggest losers in the Soviet Union were the poor farmers and the industry workers who were forced to work, but you will barely hear about their drama because people don't really identify with them. It's much easier to sell police states from the past as low tech minority report scenarios for an urban middle class even if that was not really the case.
