half of these are already managed by something like ZFS.. (the only one i can think of which is not inherent in the Filesystem is High availability). But one should build that kind of redundancy on a higher level anyways. (multiple storage pools, replicating writes etc).

or, if you go fibre channel, just replicate the writes across multiple storage systems and be done with it. (this requires a fibre channel network though, which is neither easy nor cheap).
Christopher Nolan's Interstellar had a line of dialogue from Matt Damon's character that went something like: "As a species, we can care deeply, selflessly about those we know, but that empathy rarely extends beyond our line of sight."

Still resonates with me.

Wait so California state granted $24 million to the private Wildlands Conservancy, who spent $35 million for the property. California should have just bought the property and turned it into a state park. This should be public land.

the problem is that harder work doesn't necessary bring success in rent seeking economy.
The door can still be designed to open outward and also able to be unlatched from the inside: those aren’t mutually exclusive properties.
Sure, but it's sort of how actual usable and economical flying cars would be a paradigm change for transport. The idea exists, but it's made up fairy magic with capabilities and limitations based on plot requirements. Once it's actually made real it hardly ever ends up being used the way it was imagined.

Like for example in 2001, the video call tech. They figured it would be used like a payphone with a cathode ray tube lol. Just as in reality nobody in the right mind would hand over complete control of a trillion dollar spaceship to a probabilistic LLM. The end applications will be completely different and cannot be imagined by those limited by the perspective of their time.
Growing 4X in value over 41 years is only a 3.44% annual rate of return. I wouldn’t call that a haul. If you consider cost of improvements, upkeep, and inflation, it’s probably a loss.
In the train example, the UI is in place to prevent a person from making a dangerous route. I think the idea here is that an LLM cannot take the place of such a UI as they are inherently unreliable.
You can get the motor but, have to figure out everything else on your own. There other expensive parts. Add the cost of batteries and you might as well buy a new EV.
In my experience, most people on GitHub discussions seem to be more than happy to help out, and over time it also builds up a reservoir of information that anyone else can tap into. GitHub discussions search is relatively good.

Whereas on discord, you might get a great answer which helps you and anyone who is immediately following that conversation but that's it.
it doesn't work this way with normal dev tools, since local storage is scoped by the domain, other domains can't see whats in your storage
There is some irony in talking about simple components and ease of assembly with standard tools then mentioning JS and it's utter abomination of an ecosystem where you need a bunch of tools to put together the simplest of sites (if you insist doing it in modern JS way)

California is apparently quite liberal with respect to piercing the corporate veil, Nevada is not

That is irrelevant, as the case would be held in a California court and subject to California laws.

If companies could avoid laws by just incorporating elsewhere, every multinational would be incorporated in Somalia.
It doesn't feel like life is actually getting harder, it feels like people's expectations of what will be given to them is just unrealistic. If you bought into the idea that just getting a college degree would guarantee a dreamlike future with a great job and a house, I don't know what to tell you. There were never any promises made to that effect by people who mattered. Maybe some vague memory of a TV show or an old movie misled you into believing this? In reality, life has always been hard, dreams have always been crushed or deferred. But now we have instantaneous access to all recorded information, are constantly entertained, never get lost, and can travel anywhere on the planet in a day.

I’ve been working on an open source project built on OpenTelemetry and Prometheus client libraries (https://autometrics.dev). The DX of the OTel libraries is pretty painful in all the languages we’ve used. Granted, we’re using them for metrics while traces are more common, but still.

I think the fundamental issue for the DX is that it’s trying to do everything everyone might want out of all of the observability signals. That’s a useful and laudable goal but it means that everything is configurable and it sometimes feels like there are too many knobs that you can and must adjust to get it to do what you want.
Even better. Edit that page to say that the max power of CCS is now 700kW.

No fine has been close to the maximum; no fine has been put in place for any set of facts anything close to a public forum post not being fully anonymized. If you don't believe me, you're free to read the set of DPA decisions to date as well as the edpb and wg guidance.

There have been many complaints about similar actions (esp Discord) and, to date, no DPA actions. In fact, the CNIL did fine Discord for other things, and didn't touch this.
That is correct. It's located in one of the most remote areas of New Zealand, and a very long way from cities with a decent population.

BILLY is the shelf where you stop the back panel with nails or rivets, right ?

It's absolutely not made to be disasembled. You'd need to go with the HEMNES line to have something a bit more solid and well thought out.

People put all IKEA stuff in the same basket, but they have different designers who can have pretty different philosophies on how the furnitures are structured. Some are really clever, others really cheap and dumb. Their EXPEDIT / KALLAX line is another line that is extremely good regarding flexibility and modularity. We actually use two as bookshelves.
I bet it's control groups.

The FDA thinks similarly. In late 2021, they canceled trials of Paxlovid because it was immoral to have a control group. They did not then _waive the trial requirement_, meaning Paxlovid was both too proven to deny but too unproven to be administered.
I really dislike stats like these, because it doesn't show the odds of getting a cushy corporate job. About 10% of the people who did a diploma with me took a technical job. Many went on to become insurance agents, HR, real estate agents, selling food, and so on. Some figured out that they can't make it as an architect or engineer, and start successful bakeries. If you choose to live outside a major town, your odds of getting a corporate job are probably lower than your odds of running a brewery.

People today talk about FAANG jobs and such but right after I graduated, all of FAANG (except Apple) were crazy oversized startups losing money. I was one of the few who stuck it out in the tech industry because I just wanted to program for a living, and I was willing to take lower salaries doing PHP than I would working at KFC. I ended up freelancing for about 5 years because many employers couldn't figure out how to make apps profitably, right until venture capital came to the country and the first unicorns appeared.
If you squint a bit, the "original" MVC looks eerily similar to the one-way data flow pattern popularized by flux/redux.

Is natural language simply mean using words? Is SQL natural language? I think what makes it a natural language is that it follows natural language rules, which Infocomm games surely did not.

Furthermore, Infocomm games used basically 100% precanned responses. It would do the rudimentary things like check if a window was open so if you looked at a wall it might say the window on that wall was open or closed, but that's it. I don't understand how that can make it a natural language interface.

> This is a puzzling comment. The UI for Zork has nothing at all to do with Dragon's Lair.

In both games there's a set path you follow. You follow those commands you win, if not, you lose. There's no semantically equivalent way to complete the game.

I remember spending most of my time with Infocomm games doing things like "look around the field" and it telling me "I don't know the word field" -- and I'm screaming because it just told me I'm in an open field! The door is blocked... blocked with what?! You can't answer me that?!

There were a set of commands and objects it wanted you to interact with. That's it. That's not natural language, any more than SQL is. It's a structured language with commands that look like English verbs.
If you're open to it I feel like the sweet spot right now, specially for Spanish speakers, is to work remotely from somewhere in LATAM, earning in dollars or euros and spending in local currency.
People do sell things when moving - there are options between "pay us to move it on our terms" and "you don't have any other choices". Sell on one side and replace on the other is entirely reasonable for risky-to-move items.
Isn’t the flagging done by the community?
I wholeheartedly agree with the main thrust of your comment. Care to expand on your (related: potential catastrophe) opinion?
The conspiracy is not to "own" those things, even though in most cases you still need them. So don't fret that you're still renting and don't own your own place and pay no attention to the fact that your rent goes to an enormous REIT that you'll pay for the rest of your life as opposed to when you finally own your home free and clear. Don't worry about owning possessions, just send subscription services a monthly fee, each and every month for the rest of your life, unlike that book on your shelf that you can read now or when you're 80.

Wanting possessions definitely fuels you to work hard, but you know what gives people even more drive? Existential threats like not being able to afford food or keep a roof over your head. A man with his own house and his own car and no debts is a man you don't have much leverage over. A man who needs to keep sending you a monthly flow of money in order to have shelter, entertainment and whatever else is a man who you control on a fundamental level.
That's because they're computer users.
There are 2 other reasons.

1) It is hilarious to see people defend a fact they've just accepted blindly without understanding any of it. It doesn't matter if it is true or not, what matters is how you've decided it was.

2) There are many topics people don't want you to talk about. They feel obligated to bother you with their hysteria indefinitely or until you shut up about it.

1 and 2 combined they come raging at you that you must accept this reality they've accepted on faith. They cant debate a topic! In stead they talk with others about that person following the wrong believes.

It is entirely fine to know things, it is fine to take things on faith, believe in the lord if you want. Just say you trust the scientists who say the earth is round. If flat earth bothers you explain how one can check the findings and what is wrong with the experiments that so clearly show the earth is flat.

If the boat doesn't vanish behind the horizon because the light bends around the curvature, does that demonstrate the earth is round?

Ubuntu is the only valid OS. I can't explain why but I know it to be true. You should really just accept it.
You will never “run out of air” at 3000 meters. That’s under 10K feet.

> Carbon seems to be the go-to material these days. It often seems to fail catastrophically in ways that, for example, steel does not.

Carbon fibre composites are also significantly lighter and more rigid than equivalent steel structures. As with all engineering it is about choosing materials with properties that suit your application.
That’s not how Face ID works. Face ID uses geometric data to map your face.

No, the different multiverse hypotheses are something different. The size of "our" universe is unknown, we can can see a sphere with a diameter of 94 billion light years. How much is there beyond that sphere is a research topic. No light from beyond the sphere has reached us during the lifetime of the universe.

Well, the deleted words "for...where" (meaning "in cases where") do matter, but...

Yes, in fact I was considering different wording when I wrote it to make the distinction, but I think the word he used was "performance." Edited to make this clearer.
Perhaps it's not the bar the GP was applying, but I think "good enough at 1/10 the price" is quite empowering for consumers. Consider all of the people that can't currently afford Audible, but who would like to listen to audio books while they commute to work, for example.

And of course, nothing stops you from paying what we pay now for human voice actors if there continues to be a quality differential that customers care about. (Though perhaps Baumol's Cost Disease would push the price up for today's human-generated quality.)

Extrapolating further -- if the commoditized version of audio books is AI generated voice, perhaps the new job for voice actors is human narrating/acting of AI-generated content for personalized stories ('Ractives from Stephenson's book "The Diamond Age"). Who knows, human voice actors could become more in demand, not less. To be clear I wouldn't forecast this as the most likely outcome, just pointing out that there are many possible outcomes.
I agree that chat UI is not the answer. It’s a great start and a very familiar UI but I feel this will default to more traditional UI that shows pre defined actions and buttons depending on the workflow.

The living wage movement has organisations that attempt to define a living wage. See, for example, https://www.livingwage.org.nz/about in my own country. They pressure companies into adopting a living wage, and have been reasonably successful.
You seem to be arguing that because things can't be perfect or perfectly defined, that the entire idea is invalid.

It's completely unclear how that is "no coincidence" or how that is at all relevant.
I've had some work in designing vessels to take external pressure.

It's fundamentally a nonlinear problem. A lot of new(and some not so new) engineers don't understand the process of solving it properly

For instance, euler buckling is the simple eigenvalue problem of solving a column in compression. But, it misses: initial defect because nothing is truly straight, material nonlinear effects if the part approaches yield strength, etc. I've seen it overestimate compressive capacity as much as 3-10 times depending on how geometry and material. You have to use more advanced techniques than just force over area.

Metallic vessels are difficult enough. You have to set up the problem properly and run nonlinear solves in the right way, and account for the right (or at least bound it conservatively) initial imperfections and analyze. And provide margin. Lots of compute time for a realistic analysis. And you probably still want to test. And you want to know your material very well, as the higher it's loaded, the more nonlinear that behavior could be too.

And that's with the simplicity of metal.

Composites are different. And that's not accounting for complexities of this problem. A lot of things get brittle at lower temperatures. Steel does, and I'm not sure about this particular material but at depth I would want to know specifics of temperatures and material behavior and select the right material for the job. Matrix and fibers themselves. Either failing would be fatal. I don't know enough here to say anything other than there are a lot of variables and I'm far enough away from the problem that it would take a lot of data to convince myself that I understood what could possibly happen.
I wrote a simple ChatGPT plugin that exposes files within a local directory on my computer to ChatGPT [0]. It's been quite helpful for me, both for working with codebases as well as other material (supports docx and pdf as well). It does require plugin developer access to run, though.

Oh my. This is the first time I've seen this kind of distinction between "users" and "operators" in context of a single system. I kind of always assumed that "operator" is just a synonym for "user" in industries/contexts that are dealing with tools instead of toys.

But this absolutely makes sense, and it is a succinct description for the complaints some of us frequently make about modern UI trends: bad interfaces are the ones that make us feel like "users", where we expect to be "operators".
It is not science if you refuse the experiment.
How does that make him immune to having dumb ideas? See, I'm judging the idea on merit.

> I assume this submersible is using electromagnetically attached drop-weights so that if anything goes wrong and power is lost

I don't think they have any "drop-weights" which would make them positively buoyant. If I'm reading the spec-sheet correctly, the submersible itself weights ~1500lbs. Subs have ballast tanks which they pump with air and force out water to make themselves positively buoyant. But if something goes wrong with the mechanism to fill the ballast tanks, I'm guessing they'd just be stuck at depth.
(disclaimer, I am far from an expert at this - I just have a cursory understanding of Boyle's law)

edit: upon viewing this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29co_Hksk6o&t=157s they seem to have construction pipes as ballasts that they can drop :| God help the poor souls on that sub
Maybe it is but I'm too rubbish at stats to understand either proof or disproof. However ever since I read this article a while back I consider that the DK effect is not true.
So to clarify, they recompiled the compromised compiler using the compromised compiler and it kept growing in size with each iteration?

That's the most horrifying detail of the whole affair, to me.
Lot of people probably won't get the subtext on this one.

So.. instead of the practical realities in the field, your final "proof" is what users of Wikipedia think? Truly bizarre.

It's sad how effectively Tesla's advertising has warped your perspective.
Sorry for the confusion, I just view UI as being basically synonymous with task completion: in the end, the user interface is the set of tools the system gives users to complete tasks.

Since the Google search interface is meant to look like you're talking to an AI, and probably has a lot of what we'd call AI under the hood, to turn natural language prompts into a query, I'm not surprised you view it as an incremental improvement at best.
To +1 this: it's in the instructions for every shelving unit you can buy, because it's a major safety issue regardless of construction (unless it's impractically deep compared to its height). It isn't the construction that makes them tip, it's the dimensions. If it doesn't warn you, it's because they assume you know the risk of things falling onto you, and/or they aren't willing to spend a tiny bit of money to warn you and provide anchoring locations/tools.

Which absolutely do exist. But they're not any safer due to cutting corners on safety. IKEA deserves applause for the consistent warning and hardware.
You can still have a master control process separate from the client connections.
I had a home hacked 1TB+ server, using 5.25in 23GB 8lb monster drives salvaged from a long life as a TV video bank (long, long ago, when dinosaurs walked the earth). There was 60+ actual spindles as i recall.

The drive array was powered by 6x, 400W ATX server supplies with my own wiring harness. This was enough to keep them running but they had to be sequenced carefully to keep from overdrawing the power supplies.

This was all on an UltraSPARC 6k so there was plenty of support for that; bringing up the system always sounded like multiple jet takeoffs tho. Took 15min. When the rack of 10k RPM "quick cache" disks spun up it was like a chorus of the whines of the damned.
