I do have several large high-resolution monitors (8K, 4K, 4K, 4K, and a small 3K), and I have a workflow that relies on that.

But that setup definitely doesn't fit in a backpack. So the idea of duplicating this inside a spatial computing environment is really exciting, even though everything released so far doesn't quite cut it.

But aside from the portability angle, another way to leverage the possibilities would be make the OS, probably using applied statistics trained-model techniques, really good at helping move the 2D planes through space (basically, re-arranging the windows or "screens"). 4 monitors is really all I can get on my desk. In theory I could like, ceiling-mount a row of three more above the main row of left-center-right but IRL that would be way too much work and too low-benefit to be worth doing.

But in a virtual, spatial-compute environment, all kinds of things might be worth doing. Maybe I have 40 or 50 2D planes for editors, debuggers, design schematics, and a team of flying robot ninjas with jetpacks who can instantly move them in and out of position.

The main rationale for a multi-monitor setup like mine is to "see everything at once". I do know how to press Alt-Tab and use virtual desktops, and I understand some people even prefer that workflow.

But for me the ability to keep the main work front and center, but everything in my field of view and glanceable, eliminates hundreds of instances of what would otherwise be window/desktop switching, every day.

If I had Jedi powers, would I just fling a few more monitors to hover in the corner of my room near the ceiling? Sure I would. Why do I need btop taking up space on my main screens? Or my chat thing that I will only use a couple times?

The only reason is that I only have these monitors, right on my desk. In theory I could like, wall-mount more displays for those things I don't really care about, but the effort and time investment to do that is totally not worth it.

But in theory a spatial compute environment could go hog-wild putting less relevant info farther away, but still in view, using space in the room that we just can't practically make use of today. All my screens are 60cm or so from my face.

I suspect we will see novel ideas around how to position these 2D planes, and use applied statistics/trained-model techniques to make the OS better at helping manage them (in a useful, but perhaps also delightful, way) before we transcend the 2D-plane "window" metaphor.

I also don't see avoiding keyboard, for programming or other text-input-heavy tasks. The mouse, though... I mean, we'll see how the eye tracking works once they really ship it. I could see the mouse becoming obsolete on computers that are 20mm away from your eyeballs and know exactly what you are looking at....
But "RAID is not a backup" is not related to this problem though. "RAID is not a backup" s a reflection of the fact that your RAID array is in one location, and instantly mirrors all data copied to it. A disaster to your storage array outside of a disk failure, will annihilate all your data (and this used to include "RAID controller dies").

The practical issues of RAID rebuilds also don't quite work that way - the "drives die while rebuilding problem" has two components:

(1) is that beyond a certain size, the risk of bit-error while resilvering becomes a certainty due to all the data you're reading - ZFS fixes this problem with it's checksums basically.

(2) If all your disks were installed at the same time, then the chance of another disk failure is high because they're likely all in the same part of the mean-time-to-failure distribution.

(3) the risk of an error is higher because you're doing a lot more activity then normal, and so the additional stress is increasing the chance of triggering a failure.

Taskbar configurations date back to 1987's NextStep (the NeXT OS graphical shell), which is found in the WindowMaker and AfterStep window managers ... and in fact OSX's Aqua is based on NeXT, with internals still discoverable from that.

There was also the CDE (Common Desktop Environment) and its precursor VUE, which was found on HPUX, dating to 1988, originally by Apollo Computer and Domain/OS

I've personally largely found fat menubars, particularly at the top or bottom of landscape displays, to be annoying, and initially used twm, mwm, and fvwm without the dock. I eventually adopted WindowMaker, though with a vertically-aligned dock. I tend to invoke tools either from window menus or a terminal shell.

As to why the dock is so widely adopted:

Having a standard dock helps with support as there's a standard utility and support scripts can walk through clicking on specific items.

UI/UX follow conventions. Apple's OSX is a widely-used (though not the majority) desktop, and its usability is generally highly regarded. I strongly suspect a mix of trend-following and familiarity drives other desktops' favouring this interface.

GNOME and KDE likely document their rationales somewhere. I'm not aware of where, though if someone familiar with those projects does know, I'd appreciate the pointers.
Besides cheaper hardware, what could they remove for a non-Pro version? Maybe make it always tethered, and the power brick is +$150. Cutting the display quality kills their pitch. Reducing the headband hits viability also. Maybe they remove the front-facing display? And the ability to record?
Nothing, if your self hosting in your home. Volumetric floods will saturate your ISP link.

If you’re hosting with a provider, your maximum factor will be how much your provider will “tank” for you.

Otherwise harden your ports, drop anything via IPTables, turn on NOTRACK. Better but more advanced would be to use tc (traffic control) to drop bad packets before they enter the net filter lifecycle
So in your house do you have things like -

They might not be yours, but someone uses these? Maybe the cleaner brings them?

I don't think that people who are flatsharing or whatever are not people. I just think that it's a super narrow slice of life. You might do it from 25-35 maybe and then get a partner and like, not do that any more.

There should be a middle ground. The Elasticsearch Go API is one of those auto-generated ones that only covers the bare basics, not helpful for constructing complex searches or parsing responses. A higher-level library + structures are needed.
To clarify: it both makes no sense and also occurs. I've seen it in my country. Our Communist Party supports Russia in the current war, out of nostalgia for the Soviet Union.

Does it make sense? None at all. Russia and the Soviet Union share nothing today. Putin likes to remember past military glories of the USSR but rebukes communism and his country is the land of oligarchs. Ideologically Russia and the USSR are nothing alike.

I've not read anything from Maoists on Russia's current invasion, but I likewise can believe they oppose it, for the same broken thought process: if they identify Putin's Russia with their hated historical enemy, the Soviets, then of course they are against it!

Completely bonkers, I know, but it has some bizarre logic.

There’s an interesting book called Poisoner in Chief. I’m just not sure if it’s not an attempt to control/smoke and mirror the narrative.
Agreed - I picked up an MBA as a second device for a job and then switched my main laptop to an M1 Max for development, photography, music and usually all running at the same time (IntelliJ, Photo Mechanic/Capture One, Logic Pro) and the performance just isn't an issue, in fact, there are NO hardware issues at all, except maybe I could do with even more disk space.

I once inhabited a performance-driven sphere, but it turned out that there was a ceiling on what I needed. Absolutely no doubt that many people who run different workloads will still be delighted with more performance, but for many of us, Apple are looking at a massive drop in upgrade sales soon...
That’s true for rentals, they don’t want idiots screwing up their gearboxes. But, most cars on the streets are manuals, and you can’t get a driver’s license if you don’t know how to drive one.
I ran into a situation yesterday where it doesn’t even work between two devices on the same wifi network. It very much depends on the particulars of your connection.
That's a manually iterated turing machine.

By that I mean: one way to implement turing completeness is arithmetic+looping. In this situation the CSS provides the arithmetic, and the user has to provide the looping.

This means it only sort of counts as turing complete, and it's unusably slow for calculations. Especially because rule 110 is on the edge of technical capability and rarely usable even in an optimized environment.
The book "the go programming language" has explained it too.
NextSTEP's dock likely inspired macOS, I would guess.
Removing agriculture from the local economy is exactly the opposite of sustainable.

Cheap, nutritious food is necessary for the sustainment of advanced economies. If you cannot produce food locally you're dependent on outside sources - a liability.
If nobody is driving, why is it congested? New York City is the hub of a region that represents like a quarter of the US population. Like many other regions, you start cutting off the hub and the central business district dies.

Commuting is one aspect. Tourism. Business meetings. Medical care. I live in Queens. Getting a family member to MSK for treatment or getting a meeting in the city via public transit is a 4 hour odyssey.

End of the day, folks are gonna say “fuck it” and move to Jersey.
Depends what you are protecting. A website or http traffic? Stick it behind cloudflare. Services on other ports or protocols like TCP or UDP? You could rent a cheap VPS at a provider that DOES have inline protection and use that instance to reroute traffic to your own server via a GRE tunnel.
One of my top stackoverflow posts is asking about this same situation. The resolution was simply "email the author asking for permission to relicense my new ship"!
Me too. I’ve never thought about it this way before but it resonates. I like being involved in an operational incident. Everyone is focused on one problem that must be solved.
Besides not using a switch() for the main instruction decode, there's nothing surprising here. Anyone who has worked with emulators before will find this code straightforward to read. RISC-V really is the new MIPS.
I don’t think this is normal or an expected behavior, apologies if my comment gave that impression. My claim is more that ‘Twitter not paying Google Cloud’ and ‘me not paying my mechanic’ are both situations where the phrase “refusing to pay the bill for services already rendered” is a true and accurate denotative description, but the connotations are significantly different.

For clarity’s sake, I completely agree that it’s a moral imperative to pay your bills on time and in full; what I’m saying here is that I’m not sure that moral imperatives are even the right framework for looking at these interactions between large companies (eg people have morality and ethics, companies have regulations and lawsuits).
Wait, whom are you quoting (and responding to) here?

In any case it sounds like you're describing a trolley problem (where people die whatever option you choose and you might pick the one killing less).
“World has lost battle to stop glaciers melting and sea level rising”
Burden of proof on neutral matters depends on whoever makes the claim. But AI and the potential for doom isn't a neutral matter. The question is what should be one's default belief until proven otherwise. It is a matter of determining what decisions bring the most expected utility. The default assumption should be downstream from the utility analysis. But when it comes to AGI, extreme caution is the only sensible default position.

The history of humanity is replete with examples of the slightly more technologically advanced group decimating their competition. The default position should be that uneven advantage is extremely dangerous to those disadvantaged. This idea that an intelligence significantly greater than our own is benign just doesn't pass the smell test.
Debian is not a general advocacy organization. Debian produces the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, and that’s mostly it. The incentive to do the work necessary to add a new architecture to Debian must, in general, come from outside Debian itself. Debian will probably not, as a project, go around looking for new architectures to add. Debian depends on other people doing the work and presenting it to Debian, which will then distribute it if it is good enough. Debian will only have the motivation to work on including a new architecture if it is an obvious lacking feature of Debian – say, if every other Linux distributions supported an architecture, and it was widely used, but Debian did not support it, then the Debian project would have an incentive to work on it. But not before.

This is just like Debian generally does not write new useful software to put into Debian, and instead depend on outside, “upstream” authors to write software. Some other organizations, like FSF and its GNU project, will have advocacy roles, and do have the incentives to write new software and to help porting to new architectures. It is there that the motivations for this work must be found. Of course, individual people can be involved in more than one organization, and many Debian people happen to be enthusiastic advocates, and will in fact often do this work. But the reason for them doing this work is not, mostly, rooted in them being a part of Debian.

Therefore, and this is my point, if you want this work to be done, you can’t exhort Debian to do it. It will not work. Ask instead why someone else, whom you think should be motivated to do the work, does not do it.
Americans should look outward with humility to policies which are proven to be effective. However, that may be bridge too far, given the inward looking hubris which has bedeviled road safety in America.
Wow. So much negativity. As far as I’m concerned, even if the city burns every dollar it collects, if this gets some cars off the island, it’s a win. It’s time to stop tolerating personal vehicles in our most dense urban centers.

The heating is to a tiny area. It’s 0.2 watts or so. So, it won’t heat up server racks as normal HDDs use 8-15 watts.
Do HAMR drives have the same access pattern behaviors as normal spinning disks (eg sequential seek preferred to random)?

It's worth mentioning that London has three types of road user fees:

- Congestion charge, which applies to everyone, except residents, driving in the centre of London during weekdays

- Low Emissions Zone charge, which applies to everyone driving a vehicles older than emissions class Euro 5 (2009) inside nearly all of London

- Ultra Low Emissions Zone charge, which applies to everyone driving a vehicle older than emissions class Euro 6 (2015) inside the centre of London

And to make things even more fun: If you do not have automatic billing setup you are required to pay online on the day you trigger the fee. If you are even a day late, you will face penalties of hundreds or thousands of pounds, depending on your vehicle class.
And?

Is this article false information or not?
I have a slightly different take on this, which is that the real problem is "expected load".

I pay for a certain amount of internet bandwidth - and depend on it! I work from home. Now I'd be willing to part with some amount of that, particularly in off-hours, to support a decentralized service - particularly a forum.

But I want to know what my commitment and loads are going to be upfront. I remember playing with IPFS and being extremely annoyed that just running the node ate something like 10mbps of my internet connection just by existing and doing nothing.

As far as I know none of the decentralized service ideas have a good answer as to how to spread the load or limit the load they'll impose on people hosting them - nor an answer as to how one can "help out" if they want (various "Raspberry Pi that takes care of it" proposals are not a bad idea).

Based on what? ACC/LKAS has been a feature since before Tesla even existed as a corporation. You might be confusing their claims about FSD with AP (which they very much would like you to)

Similarly, they love for people to compare AP to all driver crashes and fatalities when AP only works in the situations that are otherwise least dangerous to drivers, in cars that are newer than the average car, driven by a demographic with higher than average safety records, etc... which means AP would need to kill a lot of people to not have better numbers than average
If you have access to server, definitely there are a lot of ways, htaccess is one.
The ZFS intent log is an example of a supremely disappointing, underwhelming way to integrate SSD storage into your system. Fundamentally, it's just a workaround for the fact that most of the write caches preexisting in the storage stack are volatile caches and thus not safe. Putting the ZIL on an SSD allows you to get the safety without sacrificing the performance benefits of the write caching (performance that everyone has come to rely on). But the ZIL doesn't help with read performance, and the data you write to it is never even read unless you have a crash or power failure. And then for the read caching, ZFS has L2ARC as an entirely separate feature. So ZFS does technically have ways to take advantage of SSDs to improve a hard drive storage array—but I don't think anyone would consider it to be an ideal solution, more of a pragmatic minimum viable feature.
Not everyone is as selfish and ruthless as companies like Reddit, Twitter, etc. Lemmy has some semblance of humanity and ethics.

Unrelated. Please, do share a link where Ted Kaczynski was convicted of a crime in connection with the unplanted bombs in question, because that's what I have been talking about in this entire string of comments.

I am exonerated by fact. Ted was not convicted of a crime for the unplanted bomb because there was insufficient evidence to do so. End of story ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Incredibly tiny areas are being heated for tiny lengths of time, so it has negligible effect.

> Power, heat, and the reliability of related systems is equally nominal. HAMR heads integrated in customer systems consume under 200mW power while writing — a tiny percentage of the total 8W power a drive uses during random write, and easily maintaining a total power consumption equivalent to standard drives.
Google $23M settlement: How to apply, how much you could get
IMO, the alternatives are all based on a reframing of mindset versus a change in external environment.

My understanding is that most of Kacynski’s disillusionment was born out of:

- a recognition of how artificial most people’s values and goals are

- an inability to find authentic & fulfilling values and goals

- an innate urge to be useful and important

Put another way, Kacynski didn’t want to be like the brainwashed masses that chase status, approval, and riches. But, when he looked around for better things to spend his time on, he didn’t find any bc technology is so advanced.

I think the alternative to burning everything down is learning how to disconnect from the need to feel important and useful. It’s this inability to disconnect from the need to be useful and authentic that ultimately causes the disillusionment.

The ability to do so starts with an acceptance of the absurdity of life and a release of one’s ego. To put it colloquially, learning to not take things so seriously.
The world is a mean and dangerous place, with genteel civilization a very thin veneer on top. Top secret documents are usually classified as such because the information they contain would cause severe harm to the United States if leaked. Names of spies and design and operations of nuclear weapons are top secret. Leaking the names of spies would get them killed.

Very vague. Doesn’t specify if it is in-line or offload. Linode, with some research you can figure out they use Corero appliances that will cover 40 gbps floods.

Also didn’t see what their policy on tweaks are and or expectation on mitigating a more advanced attack.

I.e. DNS, NTP floods are low hanging fruit but it doesn’t take much nowadays to do something more custom.

They're testing the waters to see what they can get away with. Last year they ran a trial where 4K playback was completely locked behind Premium for some users, which they walked back due to backlash, but they wanted to do it.

Likewise they want to break adblockers, and they are probably easily capable of doing so, but they're trying to triangulate exactly how much backlash they'll get before committing to it.
