Many libraries in the US come from the hypercapitalist era of robber barons. They predate the word "capitalism". They predate the idea that there could even exist something other than capitalism.

People generally prefer free market solutions to problems because commons solutions like public libraries only work when there is sufficient social cohesion. Libraries work if people respect them. They do not work if people treat them like homeless shelters.

Public libraries will disappear if their management continues to be dominated by far-left ideologues who prioritise being "inclusive" over having a safe, enjoyable and quiet environment.
AFAIK CPU speeds are mainly limited by speed of light already today. There is tradeoff between time to fetch data from L1 cache (or register file), and their size. If you want to fetch the data faster, the cache has to be smaller (or the pipeline will stall), because the signal won't propagate fast enough to the cache. But smaller L1 cache also has negative performance impact, because more data has to be refetched from deeper caches.

The author blames it primarily on a single venture capital group, KRR. In fact the article doesn’t mention “capitalism” the economic system at all; only “venture capitalism” and “vampire capitalism”.

I think you are overestimating the probability that humanity would be "long gone by then". Even if a series of catastrophic events + climate change make life as we know it (modern civilization, globalized society/trade) untenable, humans are smart and many places on earth are reasonably forgiving to survival. Not saying it would be comfortable tho.

You have the definition slightly wrong.

Level 5 driving just means it can drive a child or blind person around who can’t take over in an emergency. That’s the difference between Little Boy and a Moab.

However current level 5 cars aren’t something a consumer would buy. A car that refuses to drive in 99% of situations isn’t marketable. The minimum threshold for that might be a car that can only drive in Hawaii, not a large enough market to pay for R&D, but still plenty use for a blind person living in the area.

Because men are predisposed to prefer women who have had fewer partners when it comes to long-term relationships. (when it comes to one night stands, they don't care.)

While I think we've all settled on Cory Doctorow's concept, I really wish it wasn't called "enshittification". It's hard to take the phenomenon seriously when I sound like I'm just being edgy saying it aloud. There's something to keeping the term as a vulgar word, in that PR people working for companies actively engaging in it can't find a way to turn it around and own the definition, but "enshittification" could still use a little rebrand.
If you believe in free lending libraries, you also must necessarily believe in piracy. They're logically the same thing.

Time-shifting is a false meme to manufacture blame, just like identity theft.

> Creating a self driving car which can navigate a dark, rainy parking lot is something we do not know how. Not even in theory.

I do not recognise the reality you are in.

Navigating dark and rainy parking lots is not hard. At all. Not hard in theory, and not hard in practice either.

We have lidars which work very well in rain. We have cameras with excellent dynamic range. Parking lots are slow environments where everyone moves slowly and you are generally allowed to stop if you are suddenly spooked or need a bit more time to check things.

There are hard problems about self driving cars, but dark and rainy parking lots are not the stumbling block.

Where do you even get this idea?

Let me tell you two harder things about self driving cars: "How many nines do you want in your certainty that the car won't hit anyone?" and "How do you want that proven? With stats or with fault tree analysis, or a mix of both?"
Even for type-II superconductors one may need single crystals if the material is anisotropic enough (e.g. if the flux pinning is confined mostly to 2D layers then randomly oriented grains in a powder aren't going to trap flux well)

You could say that you are a team player who cares most about getting things done as effectively as possible, and have no qualms working within whatever work environment or tech paradigm in order to do that. You are good at all of them. You are mission-focused, and willing to take on as much or as little ownership as needed in order to accomplish the mission.
Eh... seems like a bit of a stretch; it's 1800 years ago, and the fact that wealthy Romans in the 3rd century tended to be a bit on the comically decadent side isn't exactly news.

However, this would have been something of a political issue _at the time_; there is absolutely _nothing_ that Romans loved so much as moaning about other Romans being decadent. Arguably, if this was common practice, we might expect to documentary evidence in such moaning-oriented writings. :)

Why TSMC Will Keep Its Roots in Taiwan, Even as It Goes Global
Aside:

htmx is a very small and very predictable library. The underlying pattern is well established among many libraries and probably countless similar implementations.

I have implemented something like htmx several times before htmx came out, and I assume many others have too. I just didn't take the time to extract a clean, generalized and comprehensive library.
I have my own libs that equalize lisps/schemes for everything I use it for. That really wasn't that much work. I don't work with clojure because I insist on s-expressions all the way, so I cannot speak of that.

There are a lot of Carnegie-funded libraries in the Dublin area. All of the libraries that I’m familiar with are beautiful buildings and stand out architecturally within their locality.

But the end result is the same. If you forgot about it, it means you don't need to interact with it.

Yeah, because it affects networking in the entire system.

If some pam session module were to set up its own network namespace that is shared by all user processes after login, this could be (mostly) solved. The result would be some surprising behaviour though, as processes outside have a possibly vastly different view of the network.

Please. Rational people like researchers for the petroleum industry have known about this for many decades and yet (because of their employment) worked against the truth. Meanwhile rational people who believe it and are telling the truth have no radical solutions, only bike-to-work platitudes.

Well, what’s clear is that a number of bad outcomes are associated with paternal age. Men, too, should not waste their most fertile years.[0]

much more to a relationship than reproduction

But, in fact, women say they want children, material conditions should be better than ever, and yet they increasingly fail at that. There’s a massive societal tragedy brewing as the number of the involuntarily childless grows.

And in the global West, populations are shrinking quickly, which has a number of consequences, many undesirable. Yes, I’m aware of migration and its consequences, here and there. It is not a replacement for societal reproduction, it produces a different kind of society.

Similarly, adoption cannot just replace natural reproduction, it is a different kind of thing.

(It's unclear to me whether this was before or after the HUST team published their video.)

I don't think it's so much "China good at science, everyone else shamefully bad," but that some institutions (including in China) are more risk-averse, because labs who're already working on something they expect to succeed are less likely to benefit from dropping it to try something unproven.

Decrusting the Axum Crate [video]
The article goes through all of this, but since it starts with

> For example, WebRTC uses this bag of tricks to send peer-to-peer audio, video and data between web browsers.

I think it is worth emphasizing that since web users are increasingly mobile users, having P2P on the web is nearly impossible.

Mobile users have the worst kinds of CGNATs with everything randomized for every connection. Throw in a couple of IPv4 only non-mobile clients, and your IPv6 mobile users can't even connect to them even if they didn't have NAT.

So for my use cases the TL;DR of the article is: "How NAT traversal works", it does not. At least not on the web.

Which is a shame.
Bio-Inspired Adhesive with Reset-On Demand, Reuse-Many (RORM) Modes
This is anecdotal, but a lot of my peers who graduated around 2009 are living way below their means because they know it's realistic to be hit by a major stock market drop along with losing their job, which might not be recovered for months, if not years. So it truly could be a "delayed" effect where a lot of the upper middle class can ride it out 6 months - 2 years, but then it really hits.
The library as a third place has nothing to do with enshitification. It's simply libraries meeting the needs of their users. I dont know the US numbers but many places the loan numbers of books has never been higher, while there has never been more culture and activities in the physical library. This fantasy of the library as a silent crypt for book storage is trite and tired, most often touted by non-users.
Full body MRI scans are only expensive in the West, outside the west you can get one done for $250. This is a labor and regulatory capture problem and not a technology problem and will not be affected in any meaningful way by better superconductors.
Well, we're not really discussing that here. Hiking to the bottom of the grand canyon is NOT "a 1-hour walk back and forth without terrain or elevation changes."

I don't think it's just a matter of bush or mud. When I've worn hiking boots it's because of the gear I was carrying on my back - the extra cushion and ankle support is important when you're on hour 8 of having an extra 40 lbs on your back.
It couldn't mean possibly anything else?

I appreciate and relate to this comment. One of my favorite aspects of owning a small business is that I can realistically understand every part of the business that I’m responsible for, and I like that. I’m not wading into a conversation about hiring trustworthy employees here. I don’t want hyper-growth. I don’t want 1,000 employees. I like being incorporated in my actual state, and I don’t want external actors to have control of my business. I don’t want to go public.

There’s this sort of toxic assumption that every small business just isn’t a big business yet. I’ve seen it at work in relationships with vendors where a conversation goes something like:

Business: “Okay, the Business plan fits us nicely but we need one feature from the Enterprise Pro Plus Max plan. Could we negotiate a slight increase in the Business plan and get that one feature flag enabled for our account?”

Vendor: “We’d love to help! We’ll give you a discount on the Enterprise Pro Plus Max tier that makes it the cost of the Business tier for a three year commitment, so you don’t have to grow into it overnight.”

Which of course no one has to do for any (prospective) customer. But it’s exhausting to have to explain that you’re not trying to grow into a business that can spend $80,000/mo with every vendor just to get features you need. And it’s really frustrating when you’re servicing a customer in a regulated industry who wants to expand with you, but vendors think things like audit trails are only useful or appropriate (or “not confusing”) for capital-E-Enterprises.

In my business the result has been a reliance on self-hosted FOSS applications but that’s not practical for things like payment processing, at least for a small business. If I were large enough for it to make sense to do my own payment processing I wouldn’t need Stripe in the first place.
I don’t think there’s a point in stretching the author’s claim here: marriage between competent adults is about as firmly within the “civil right” category as anything can be.

Industrialization occurred in Great Britain due to a very specific set of conditions not present in other regions. Coal was already in widespread use before industrialization, which led to extensive coal mining in England.

Heavy use of coal required an advanced horse-drawn transporation network as well as navigable water ways. England alone had the former due to stationary pastoralism.

Heavy use of coal led to the first industrially practical steam engine, the Newcomen engine, which pumped water out of coal mines.
