A drive these days is a CPU, memory, and some flash chips. If the CPU and memory are swappable (isn't in consumer SSDs, no idea about enterprise), then one drive today is really many independent pieces of storage media. Thus, you'd imagine the failure case to be more like the failure case for one entire storage server (pipe drips on it, tornado sucks it up) rather than worrying about the failure case for mechanically-linked hermetically-sealed platters spinning at high speed.

There is always the chance that all the flash chips fail at the same time because of a manufacturing defect. That has always been the gamble over multiple drives as well; many documented cases of all the drives in a RAID array failing at the same time. (This happened to me once! Terrible shipping from NewEgg damaged all 3 drives in my 3x RAID-1 array. I manually repaired them by RMA-ing the disks one at a time; fortunately different blocks failed on different drives and with 3 drives you could do a "best of 2".)

No matter how many independent drives you have, you will always need your data stored in multiple data centers to survive natural disasters. So I don't see 256TB in one device any differently than putting 32 8TB SSDs in one server. If you need that much storage, you spend less of your day plugging it into your computer. Savings!

Yeah. I don't understand the choice of Rust in this context. If you can write all the CPU instructions on a whiteboard that also has the literal memory map you don't need a high level language like Rust.

I don't see this as a place where Rust can't replace C (or where Zig is a better replacement, or whatever) because why are we writing any high level language at all?

I guess it can make sense if there's a device family and this is the smallest of a range.

What's interesting is that stellarator actually is not just an alternative, but a wholly parallel branch of evolution - it's not like one was invented strictly after another, and the authors of both designs never knew about the other's work before they completed theirs.

What's even more interesting is that the fusor - the simplest possible design for a thermonuclear reactor, so simple that anyone skilled in electrical engineering and having access to proper civilan equipment can build one with ease - seems to be invented _after_ both stellarator and tokamak.

That said, I never particularly liked stellarator design. The very _complexity_ of it somehow feels subtly wrong, like doubling down in the wrong direction.

However, this is one of the cases where I would absolutely love to be proven wrong. We are far past due big breakthroughs in the field.

> Gerrymandering can make it easier to flip a district.

Only if you do a bad job of it.

> Gerrymandering means a small number of districts with a large advantage for party A and a large number of districts with a small advantage for party B.

No, it doesn't.

Suppose you had a 5-district, 50-50 population state, with the population distributed homogenously enough that without weird district lines you would get 5 competitive, near 50-50 seats. An effective partisan gerrymander might make one 70-30 seat for the disfavored party and four 55-45 seats for the favored party, every seat being less competitive than without a gerrymander.
Take a stance at least
So the "probable cause" is that SBF is meeting with journalists and sharing evidence that might bring into question the credibility of the prosecution's star witness? Hmm I thought witness tampering was more serious like trying to pay the witness off or making false accusations or intimidating them something.

I mean all this guy's co-conspirators have been bought off by the prosecution to testify against him. I can't help but feel like his action's are at least understandable. Unless he's supposed to save all his ammo for the actual court case and attack the credibility directly there. I'm obviously not a lawyer but I didn't realize such subtle actions were considered witness tampering... wouldn't we want to know all the details about a witness? If there's real reason to be worried about someone's credibility wouldn't we want to know about it?

Without knowing better, I'd probably be fighting tooth and nail in whatever way possible to not by martyred alone while my co-conspirators walk with a slap on the wrist because that's how criminal justice works, whether I deserved it or not.

EDIT: just to be clear, I'm not making any statement as to whether I agree or disagree with SBF or whatnot. I am just trying to understand what actually happened here and surprised that speaking with journalists falls under witness tampering. TIL.

> Why has it been taking so long?

These things take time.

> Get someone new and more importantly, independent.

The entire point of being a special prosecutor is to have more independence.

It is absolutely impossible for Garland to appoint someone perceived as more independent than someone appointed by Barr. If Garland fired Barr's prosecutor from the case and appointed someone else, people would interpret it as interference (reasonably!).

> Merrick Garland already has his biased hands on this, he should recuse himself from any involvement in this case.

Appointing a special prosecutor is pretty much equivalent.

> Can you imagine the outrage if Trumps' AG was appointing special prosecutors to oversee criminal cases of his children?

If Trump were president and his children were under criminal investigation, appointing a special prosecutor would be the correct thing to do. There would be outrage if he didn't.

I am thinking why companies making so huge reactors, everything should be simple just for test to get energy
What if you have 10^20 particles? Each charged particle emits photons with energy/frequency proportional to their speed (Bremsstrahlung). This is mostly from electrons because they are much lighter and so are much hotter/faster. Plasmas are quasineutral though so you'll have those electrons present. There is a long line of research trying to get away from that constraint with little luck so far (but it should continue to be worked on!).

Jumpjng back up the stack: photon radiation is mostly considered a loss since it transfers energy out of confinement and does not impart it on other fuel. You nominally extract your heat via neutrons: same as fission reactors. Some designs (Helion) aim for reactions with charged byproducts. The reaction produces a current that can be coupled by a surrounding coil, much like a transformer but powered by current induced by plasma rather than another copper wire.

Blu-rays can take up 25gb each, so just a decent collection of those could easily consume most of one of these drives. If you want to do basic model tuning in stable diffusion, each model variation can take 7gb. This level of storage would mean you could almost setup a versioning system for those. And finally, any work with uncompressed data, which can just be easier in general, could benefit from it.
- I am not afraid of taking risks

I think you might want to really reflect on this. From what I've gathered from your other responses, are not willing to take a risk - be it a risk in starting to execute an idea and risk failing or a financial risk.

Slightly off-topic, but do you consider yourself a perfectionist?
Don't even have to set your sail; this landlubber likes likes to shoot videos with a smartphone, and these days, recording a few minutes of a family event, or even your plane taking off, in decent quality, will easily give you a multi-gigabyte video file. And that's for normal videos; $deity help you if you enable HDR.

And yes, this is the universal answer to "how much storage is enough" - use cases will grow to consume generally-available computing resources. Today it's 4k UHD + HDR; tomorrow it'll be 8k UHD + HDR, few years later it will be 120 FPS lightfield recording with separate high-resolution radar depth map channel. And as long as progress in display tech keeps pace, the benefits will be apparent, and adoption will be swift.

Because there was:

Yes, there are big data applications where direct-attached storage density has a large impact on the economics of working with and analyzing that data. This is mostly due to bandwidth constraints and the fact that many analytical workloads can run efficiently with limited compute/memory relative to storage. Using a vast number of servers when they are not actually required introduces its own challenges. Sensing and telemetry data models sometimes have this property.
The idea of Nix is quite solid--controlling your dev environment is a good thing.

The implementation of Nix feels extremely shaky. Nix has genuine deficiencies that several different projects all attempt to address. When you have to patch things at the level of ELF, your basic architecture needs work.

The project management of Nix feels like a disaster. For example, when fixing the basic, inscrutable error message for the fact that your "flake.nix" hasn't been checked into version control has been extant for two years in spite of people handing you PRs, something is broken in your project.
He is an interesting person in that way. I've been casually analyzing the situation and his actions from a personality theory point of view.

It's clear that SBF doesn't look at business/legal logic as an objective "thing" with special givens and nomenclature to which one must adhere, as many of us do. He sees it more as a unique series of isolated situations with their own unfolding logic. He is taking the puzzler's approach. (Is this related to his being raised by people with legal experience? The most experienced in a given field are often the least likely to give the most definite/standard answers...things "tend to depend")

But, for that same reason, he'll also tend to entrap himself for lack of look-ahead knowledge relating to precedent and legal practice. Broad precedent and ethics are essentially off one's radar, if one really leans into the "I can solve it myself" logician style.

That's a huge risk for someone like him: He's going to look like he's trying to reinvent the wheel, so to speak, of what it means to be a defendant in a risky position. People with basic knowledge will be left utterly confused as to why he keeps messing up, this person who is apparently kind of a genius in a way?

Yet it's still clear that his executive logic is extremely resilient and active. This is not the type of personality to go "based on legal history, I'm a jerk and I'm screwed, might as well give up." In fact I'd guess that his natural openness to various ideas would prevent him from making definite moral conclusions about his choices.

He is probably going to keep grinding at this position of his until some chain of things starts to work out.

Some might make the _moral_ or _predictive_ conclusion that he should do otherwise, but this is a _rational_ person in the sense of attention to the typical social bell curve. In that particular bell curve, it's _irrational_ to not defend yourself and fight for yourself, especially if you think the public record is completely off, wrong, etc.

His answer to "why don't you head over to Google for even better legal assistance" might just be, "I'm learning and analyzing my way through this from first principles, and for that I need my own brain, some logic, and a bit of luck."

In the end, you don't necessarily need the look-ahead knowledge, especially with the right people on your side...even though it can _really_ help to not make these kind of obvious blunders in that direction.

(This is looking at personality and his actions in that context, not so much a good/bad moral analysis)

All a conventional radio does is translate electromagnetic waves that are already surrounding it into sound waves that we can hear. An intellectual-property-maximalist lawyer could cogently argue that a radio that records the signal onto a tape or other storage device is somehow violating the IP rights of the authors, as it is interacting with the work in materially different way than an ordinary radio. Not that I would agree with this lawyer in any way, but the lawyer would at least have a basis to argue that one thing is not like the other.

However, video streams are not a signal floating in the EM spectrum. They are 1:1 connections that must be requested, their content must be actively downloaded onto local memory, and the content must be transcoded and/or decoded into images and sound to be consumed by a human. The point is that this description is as true for a video being watched on the official YouTube app on a Pixel 5 as it is for a video that has been downloaded with youtube-dl/yt-dl on a PC. There is no material difference in the actual events taking place.

I think the original commenter is right- correct me if I missed what you’re getting at.

Keeping it all in the same units until the end here:

1 millionth of 1 meter = (1 / 1,000,000)m = (1e-6m)

1 millionth * 100 = 100 millionths => (1e-6m) * 100 = (1e-4m) = 100 millionths

(1e-4m) = .0001m | 1m = 1000mm => .0001m*1000 = .1mm
