> [1]the sci-fi optimists' predictions of it leading to permanent colonies and starships within a generation or two have aged worse.

Space-romantics tend to wildly overestimate the benefits of space colonization relative to the difficulty and cost.

Space is... kinda shit. Including all the other rocky bodies in our star system. In the best case, it's like if Earth suffered a half-dozen biosphere-ruining apocalypses and was yet worse than that, even.

The "why?" needs a damn good answer, and we just don't have one, certainly not for long-term human habitation. Even "colonize Mars as a humanity backup" isn't great. There are cheaper ways to achieve most of that supposed benefit, and maybe do it even better, possibly even involving space in some capacity, most of which projects we could kick off today if we really wanted to—yet we don't bother with any of those, no, we fixate on Mars because of the romantic and pop-culture appeal, not because it's the most efficient solution.

Colonizing Mars or the clouds of Venus or putting dome-cities on the Moon or whatever is undeniably cool as hell, but when you sit and really think about it... eh.
I agree with you, except that Display P3 is not exclusive to Apple.

A lot of monitors from most vendors support Display P3, even if it is usually named slightly erroneously as DCI P3.

Display P3 differs from the original DCI P3 specification by having the same white color and the same gamma as sRGB, which is convenient for the manufacturers because all such monitors can be switched between the sRGB mode (which is normally the default mode) and the Display P3 mode.

Nonetheless, even if today most people that have something better than junk sRGB displays have Display P3 monitors (many even without knowing this, because they have not attempted to change the default sRGB color space of their monitors), images or movies should be distributed as you say, using the Rec. 2020 color space, so that those with the best displays shall be able to see the best available quality of the image, while the others will be able to see an image with a quality as good as allowed by their displays.

That is more doable, but people have made creative ways to jailbreak that a simple embedding check won't catch.
I mean, if the mainline kernel really did have a substantial security regression and his variant would have prevented it, that would be an interesting angle to explore. Although, the bias is a good reason to question whether the impact is actually that bad; could anyone more qualified comment on whether the regression was real and meaningful?
Different situation.

Valve limited there store to "in general not contain products of a certain type (here AI art containing)".

But in case of Dolphin this isn't the case but a explicit ban of dolphine without it braking Valve TOS.

If Valve would but in their TOS that "emulators are generally not allowed" then rejecting Dolphine would be okay and no one would have wirten any blogs or news articles about it, or even tried to put it on steam.
> Now imagine the next giant leap and corresponding benefits.

That's always the problems with these types of discussions though, isn't it? You can't know what that next leap is going to be and how it is going to benefit everyday life.

For some, like myself, that next leap will be just as revolutionary and will send us to the stars. We imagine a blank check with a direct, long-term goal leading to things we can't even dream of today.

For others, however, they struggle to see what that leap will be. For them, it's just getting to Mars and maybe coming back, maybe with some new tech for the military. Nothing that will affect their own lives or the lives of their children. That was the problem in the 50s and 60s that led to so much backlash against the projects. And even though we saw the fruit those projects bore, who is to say it will happen a second time?

Some people just can't or won't imagine what might come from another Apollo-esque program. And that's who you have to convince.
> NASA, capable to capturing a $10 quintillion asteroid

They really aren't capable of capture. It hasn't been done yet, even for much smaller space rocks. This mission will "observe" i.e. fly by or orbit the rock.

That's all we're capable of now, so the valuation is quite moot and selling the mission on that basis is close to deceptive.

> Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee in June proposed a budget rider that would prohibit funds to be used for the IRS to create a government-run tax preparation software, unless approved by a group of House and Senate committees.

To say nothing of biometrics like facial recognition, which ironically, the government sometimes tries to protect you from (like in Illinois, where it's banned).

It's so weird to me that people are afraid of the government knowing who you are when like every private company asks for the same kind of information all the time, and data brokers gobble that up and resell it all the time (including to government), and nobody bats an eye.

Of course, that would also have significant costs with it; there's a reason Linux doesn't have a stable ABI or API for modules, nor support out of tree changes.
>Unless you want savings limits and expiry dates on your money.

I don't believe in saving limits or expiry dates in the sense of losing 100% of your money. But think about what impact limiting savings has on debt. In aggregate, there can only be as much debt as there are savings. This means if you want to limit debt in the economy, you are going to have to limit savings as well.

This is particularly relevant with debt brakes. A country with a debt brake but without a savings brake is going to run into a pretty fundamental limitation.

Savers can delay their spending decisions and this ultimately delays the ability to repay debts but since debtor's are at the mercy of lenders, we blame the debtor for the lenders tardiness.
LOL, I was asked by a pet shelter for my SSN in order to adopt a cat. I stupidly put it down on the paper form and then asked why they needed it.

> The USSR space raced itself into recession.

Did they? The USSR had a lot of expensive losses, from the war in Afghanistan to the cleanup of Chernobyl. But I'm not sure the space race fits in that category; like in the US it pushed tech advances within the USSR as well, and their launch capabilities generated a lot of revenue for them down the line.

When I was at Georgia Tech (THWG), the administration, via the Diversity Task Force, wanted to quietly change the school fight song (better to ask forgiveness than permission). So, the Technique student paper got the story together and published it before the admin could sink it.

I don't know if anyone at the Technique ever suffered for it; my recollection was that the Diversity Task Force, and the Director of Diversity Stephanie Ray, were pretty hostile to anyone and everyone who opposed their re-education ideas, so I presume there was retribution.

Eh, would not surprise me in the slightest if there was a secret billion dollar program that specifically practiced disaster recovery for the phone network. The government doesn't have the same motivations as a business and they spend a lot of money in a lot of places just to be prepared for unlikely events.

Offhand, that's pretty much the plan for a black start.

Something about bringing up a designated plant and feeding the output over 'cranking' lines that other plants along the route can synchronize their output against. Then gradually adding load and source until the system is meta-stable again.

Edit: additional data

Not only synchronize, but also use for internal needs like all the pumps and particularly the 'excitation current' that establishes the magnetic field for the generator. It allows control over the output voltage. There are also other drawbacks to the more obvious solution of fixed magnets which can be oversimplified as 'ware'.

Apple claims that messages sent with their Messages application are end-to-end encrypted, even in China, and that they have made no concessions to government of China.

But... Everyone in China has their iCloud backups stored in China and Apple holds the keys to these backups. While Apple cannot read E2E encrypted Messages content, they do upload an unencrypted (but encrypted with keys they control) backup of all of the phones Messages data.

It seems likely China can ask Apple for a backup of a citizen's phone and Apple will comply with that request. Or they have access to these data centers.

That would be true if newsrooms keep the same number of journalists on staff, so that they're freed to conduct more investigative work.

Looking at the trend in global newsrooms and the way they've already been gutted in the name of dividends how likely do you think that's going to be?

More like this will be used as an excuse to cut even more journalists and, worse, to run local and regional news without any journalists at all, with the few who remain being as under pressure and overworked as ever.

The cure for cancer project was a waste of money! Sure it's nice they did it but that money would have been better as tax cuts where it would have spurred innovation in other fields. People die of something else anyway.

Yeah we built fancy new labs and educated a new generation of scientists, but what does it matter that we made an algorithm that can cure each individual person's cancer? Those people would have studied something else, and you can just git clone the cancer algorithm nowadays.

The whole cure for cancer project was nothing but a tumourdoggle for big research. Hospitals and universities across the country feasting on public money.

At least in England and Wales, unreasonable force can be used in self defense (Crime and Courts Act 2013) as long as it is not grossly disproportionate, and people are regularly let off for that, so you're wildly off base.

This includes cases where people have killed unarmed intruders.

What will typically get people in trouble is not self defense, but cases where the victim continues after an attacker is no longer a threat (is subdued or fleeing).

> Structured requests and responses are 100% the next evolution of LLMs. People are already getting tired of chatbots. Being able to plug in any backend without worrying about text parsing and prompts will be amazing.

Yup, a general desire of mine is to locally run an LLM which has actionable interfaces that i provide. Things like "check time", "check calendar", "send message to user" and etc.

TypeChat seems to be in the right area. I can imagine an extra layer of "fit this JSON input to a possible action, if any" and etc.

I see a neat hybrid future where a bot (LLM/etc) works to glue layers of real code together. Sometimes part of ingestion, tagging, etc - sometimes part of responding to input, etc.

All around this is a super interesting area to me but frankly, everything is moving so fast i haven't concerned myself with diving too deep in it yet. Lots of smart people are working on it so i feel the need to let the dust settle a bit. But i think we're already there to have my "dream home interface" working.

Realistically, the average person has exactly 0 chance of "removing" either a government or a big multinational company.

However, the average person at least has some teeny tiny say in government via democratic processes and oversights. They have zero power against a big company unless they are a major shareholder.

The fundamental difference of "one person, one vote" and "one dollar, one vote" should not be lost in this discussion.

Big bureaucracies are terribly disempowering no matter who runs them, but in government at least you have some tiny amount of representation vs zero in the private sector.
The why is because humans like exploring and colonizing. Our most successful civilizations (in the evolutionary sense, not the meritocratic or moralist sense) were good at exploring and expanding, so a lot of people are wired to want to do that.

> Also, for both large and small-scale projects, is it viable to forego front-end frameworks and rely solely on HTML, JS, and CSS?

Yes, as long as you are willing to establish your own "framework" if you need to collaborate with others. I've personally found the trickiest part is keeping common HTML fragments and CSS standardized across the site. If you can get it down to a common Layout.html, Navigation.html and Site.css, you will probably be able to manage the complexity in a reasonably-sized team. If you need to edit one of these common files, convene a meeting. Everything else is an independent partial with its own HTML/CSS/JS.

> in fact, my algorithms knowledge is still rubbish, and I've never implemented a hash map, I just use tries

If you need to write an associative data structure, write a trie. There are too many pitfalls when implementing a hash-table. e.g. It's really hard to accidentally write a trie with linear lookup performance or quadratic space usage, but it's really easy to accidentally write a hash-table that does one of those.

A well implemented hash-table will beat a well-implemented trie for pretty much all unordered operations, but a quick and dirty trie will usually be far more robust to corner cases than a quick and dirty hash-table.
