Cold fusion was replicated by a few labs but that wasn’t good enough for the media and they killed it. For background see 60 minutes episode “Cold Fusion is Hot again” where they interview and admit Pons Fleischmann was right.

The difference now is that China is a super power and doesn’t have to kiss the ring of the US hegemon.

As an example of replication see

The “cold fusion is a hoax” was in itself, a hoax.

How does this work with their charging network? Are you still able to use their chargers, or are you stuck with home charging & third parties?
For a single home 10/sec is probably fine. But remember you are using other peoples infrastructure. Be nice. You probably want a local resolver anyway in a case where 10/s is an issue. Even for home use a local caching resolver is not a bad idea. It usually makes just day to day web surfing feel much snappier. Most home routers take care of it but are rather limited. I usually set up a local one then have my local DHCP just hand out that address so all the clients get the right thing instead of going to some external source. That way I can have a list of resolvers and one IP to hand out to my client computers.
The default of many home routers is the router for the DNS field in DHCP.
#consistency with tens of thousands of years of sociological anthropology, under evolving terms and terminology
I've long thought any supposed economic/technological stagnation was illusory, or at least greatly overstated. The third industrial revolution began several decades ago and we're now in the middle of it. I like to stay grounded so I look at basic metrics. Pick almost any raw resource or simple good, and its extraction or production is through the roof, while the energy intensity to obtain it is decreasing.

In fact most trends become quite preposterous, sooner rather than later. (Whole planet turned into ICs by the 22nd century, at this rate.) So all manner of wildness is sure to soon happen. This is certainly not stagnation, whatever it will ultimately mean:

To me it all still comes down to charging infrastructure. The current state of batteries is good enough for me, but I live in an apartment and can't charge at home, and the availability/reliability local charging stations are a crap shoot, nevermind charging on a road trip.

But when (if?) I own my own house and can charge at home, I'll be in even with the current state of batteries.

Modems don't generally block anything, unless they're a modem/router combo. Have you ever actually encountered a device that had a NAT but no stateful firewall?
It's relatively clear to me...

Features cost money, so I should pay for them. Wether that's via an option package (traditional) at order time OR via a software update (Tesla) after purchase doesn't matter.

BUT! As long as that feature doesn't have recurring costs to the manufacturer (heated seats), it should be a one-time fee, and transfer with ownership.

Something like self-driving, where there might be an active internet connection and server costs - I'm ok with a recurring subscription.

Examples... BMW tried to charge a subscription to use Apple CarPlay. This should be a one-time fee (baked into model price, or a one-time software switch). Same for Toyota (I think) who tried to make remote-unlock a subscription (this was basic key fob unlock - no internet hosting/app maintenance involved). Also crappy move from them.

Hacking otherwise reasonable software-locked features feels like theft to me. If you want the feature, pay for it. At minimum, I'd expect Tesla (or whoever) to void warranties on cars with these hacks applied (within the bounds of Magnuson-Moss Act in the US).
NATs provide one form of network segmentation. Network segmentation is a commonly accepted network security practice. The author maybe thinking of a specific application of NAT, but a blanket “NAT provides no additional security” is not a defensible position.

If you're still using the full 180/360° then it doesn't work because you're constantly "teleporting" around the room, and close-ups are extremely jarring if you're just inches from someone's face. "Teleporting" is OK if you're watching something on a screen from a distance, it's totally disorienting if it's constantly happening to your entire surroundings.

On the other hand, if you're watching a movie on a virtual IMAX-sized screen that still has edges, then it's totally fine. I'm just saying that full VR immersion does not work for movies/TV.
There's this meme on top of a painting of a (maybe Victorian era?) couple, where the man says something to the effect of "what goes on in a woman's mind?" and the woman replies "well, I think ..." to be cutoff by "its a mystery", and then "if you'd let me..." to be cutoff by "I guess we'll never know".

This refrain of "its multi-faceted" and "we don't really know" feels a bit like that. We do know what causes all of these issues. Each and every contributing factor is well documented in isolation. So I'm responding to that.

However, we are (as you say) in full agreement that the actual answers are complicated. I'd go further and say the reasons why those are the answers are themselves complicated, and because they take more than an election cycle to effect. My claim is that it will take generations to rectify, if ever.
Because they did ship like that, years ago - and some routers pretty recently would default "route all" unless they were in NAT mode.

And even if the defaults were secure, I guarantee someone would "route all" when that was a known "fix it" issue - just like you used to find people who would forward 1-65535 to their PC to play Internet games.

NAT is still annoying and wrong, perhaps, but it DOES provide something akin to a layer of security in some cases; just like security through obscurity DOES provide some security for many things.

Beyond the cost, what's even more nonsensical about land "ownership" in Canada is the significant lack of freedom and control that comes with it.

This should be clear to anyone who has been involved with, or even just witnessed, expropriation proceedings, for example.

The bureaucracy involved with building or extending common structures on property that one "owns" can be extremely costly, time-consuming, and painful.

Even trimming or removing a tree on said property can involve significant restrictions and bureaucracy in some places.
I have some bad news for you: elixir ecosystem is consultancy-driven ecosystem. While at least better than bigtech-driven ecosystem (cough cough), the changes you seek are less likely to happen because

1. They make it easier for consultancies to templatize what they do, which:

- keeps their employees tied to the hard earned knowledge

- keeps their clients tied to their services

At least though you know that those patterns are (usually) common and battle tested (or, at least, will be battle tested - cough cough ash), and unlike a bigtech "their problems are likely to be your problems".

While it is problematic that bail outs happen to such a scale, the risk of things going south isn’t really a strong counter effect. You “can” lose. But you generally will not. Especially in the long run. And even if you do in particular, lose your investments, most wealth will beget more wealth. It’ll be a wealth transfer in dollars or real assets from you to a different wealthy party rather than society at large.

The economy improves and so assets do become more valuable, inevitably. We should be taxing that inevitable passive growth of society’s progress to benefit society.
In the next decade you will see more reliance on technology that becomes cheaper than simply throwing lithium at the problem.

It's the same thing with many techs. In the 70's we thought we would run out of oil by 2000, and a lot of asshats in the 80's and 90's crowed about how stupid those so-called experts were.

What happened in the 80's and 90's was ground sensing radar found more oil, horizontal drilling found ways to access more of what was there, and zeolites saw widespread use as a catalyst to increase the amount of gas and diesel recovered from a barrel of oil. And over time production of zeolites made that process work better and better. It's very much like when Apple went to non-replaceable batteries. Battery life doubled in that model because 3 different parts of the problem got improvements. Density, volume, and power management all contributed almost 30% each.

Between "Oh Shit" and "Told Ya", we could produce twice as much fossil fuel as we knew how to do at the time. The same will happen with Lithium. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Replace.

I have no idea how I would install EasyOS in my hypervisor. Well, I could probably boot from a Live linux ISO and then install it from there.

And on actual hardware I can mount an ISO over IPMI but I would not immediately be able to install EasyOS that way.

Also, the argument that you can store state isn't always an advantage. When I boot a Live ISO I never ever want to save anything, a clean state is one of the features of a Live ISO.

I don't know what EasyOS is, and it is for sure possible that it lives in a niche where it never makes sense to have an ISO. But I don't get the crusade against ISO.

>There are some multi-boot tools, that enable putting many ISO files on the one USB-stick; however, the ISO format does not have any intrinsic avantage, these boot managers could also be made to boot image files.

Well, they don't. Maybe that ought to be a hint?
Doesnt the CCP own all the land in China?
Our code is messy (sweep hasn't gotten around to it yet), but here's where we save the code! https://github.com/sweepai/sweep/blob/main/sweepai/core/vect...

So for context, this is running in a ephemeral function from Modal https://modal.com/docs/reference/modal.Function#modalfunctio....

We need a way to store the computed embeddings, because the function doesn't persist any state by default, so we use Redis. But we don't want to store the actual code as the key, so we hash the code + add some versioning. Because it's a cache, it supports concurrent writes + reads, which a lot of vector dbs do poorly.

So the actual code is only accessed at runtime (using the GitHub app authentication to clone the repo), and we also build the vector db in memory at runtime. It's slow(redis call, embedding the misses, constructing the index), but 1-2s is negligible in the context of Sweep because a single openai call could be 7s+.

And one nice feature is that when you have Sweep running on 10+ branches (which probably share 95%+ of the code) we just use the cache hits/misses to automatically handle diffs in the vector db. It's super easy to setup, we don't need to manage different indices (imagine a new index per branch), and it's very cost efficient.

Modern movies then look to continue down this path of looking fake and getting worse.

I watched some movies from the 80s recently, kids movies, and I was blown away with the special effects. IMO they were more enjoyable than what's being output today from a special effects POV and the overall cinematic experience and skills involved.

Today's movies just seem so fake, empty and forced.

Obviously there are some exceptions if you go looking.

Is this true? Isn't a direct, uninterruptible path from each machine to the other a requirement for communication? The path must proceed through complex switching systems, like in the analog days, yes.

What is meant by the statement that it is no longer electrically equivalent to a single wire?

Read that. All of it. You tell me, what is _career_ related there? I'll give you a hint: None of it.

This is all insecurity and self-doubt. That's what therapy is for. You won't solve insecurity and self-doubt by even being the most successful person in your circle of friends/co-workers.

Therapy. End'of'story.

And as another commenter said, don't compare yourself with other people (especially not 30-40 yr olds who have a huge financial advantage due to the length of their work experience). It doesn't do you any good.

And stop worry about "stuff". You will die. Your stuff doesn't give two shits if you do. Touch the dirt. Get off the screens. Go walk in a forest. Find some mountains or an ocean coast (especially the west coast -- nothing like watching the sun set over the endless ocean; mine being the Pacific but I'm sure the Atlantic is equally impressive).

Relax your mind and your body. The 20s are stressful and every experience is new. When you get into your late 30s or into your 40s, you'll figure things out and wonder why you stressed about any of this stuff at all.

Remember, you're already set to be successful. You have a valuable and in-demand skill.

PEP 440 is complicated, but it's also complicated in ways that make sense for a language packaging ecosystem: Debian is tasked primarily with distributing stable builds of software; PyPI is facilitating a source and build distribution relationship between different maintainers and users.

In other words: Debian prioritizes unified versioning and has a "fan-out" topology of users; PyPI prioritizes facilitating dependency resolution for a "graph" topology of users.

>I wonder what's different about our searches and expectations.

The difference might be that they (including myself) don't ask search engines for facts like "doors of stone release date". They'll search for "doors of stone", find personally reliable sources like Wikipedia, Fandom, Goodreads, browse them and decide on an answer. When sources fail to appear, they'll either refine the search (like "doors of stone rothfuss") or call it a failure and maybe try a different search engine.

This is one the reasons why Brave has been good for me so far. When a relevant Wikipedia article exists, it shows it, even if the title doesn't match. Whereas lately DDG and others don't. In fact, you can see this with "doors of stone". Brave shows "The Kingkiller Chronicle", DDG doesn't at all, Google has it low down in the results.

It also shows Reddit discussions without needing to explicitly filter for it. And I use ad block to remove the AI summariser that takes up half the screen, it's not what I want from a search engine.

The best class I took in grad school was a course on bibliography. (Few English departments still offer courses in it, alas.) It was magnificent learning the ins-and-outs of how books were manufactured and learning to reconstruct their processes of manufacture from the physical artifact. The show-and-tell each class from the rare-book librarians was a treat for exactly the reasons the author mentions in the article. It was also the one area of study in which I felt like I had done real work and produced something of value (however marginal) at the end of the day.

Unfortunately, I lacked the punctilious and painstaking scholarly discipline to become a bibliographer. (Our professor had produced the standard bibliography of Alexander Pope’s Dunciad, which required him to spend countless hours in numerous libraries with a checklist to identify minute textual variants in editions, a labor that demands a preternatural level of dedication and attention to detail.) However, I can still produce a correct bibliographical description if the situation calls for it—which, admittedly, it rarely does…
