> "In the study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, Millán and his colleagues estimate that the Tonga eruption [January 15th] sent around 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – equal to 10% of the water already present in that atmospheric layer. That’s nearly four times the amount of water vapor that scientists estimate the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines lofted into the stratosphere."

DOS seems to be in a limbo stage. Not truly dead thanks to gamers playing on retro systems and VMs but not alive enough to land anywhere close to part-time work supporting it.
This article seems like it is an AI summary of another document. It doesn’t offer anything new, just restating someone else’s analysis. And that analysis comes down to… storage demand will outpace SSDs price point enough that the demand will be met by both SSDs and traditional spinning platters.

Which isn’t surprising as even today there is demand for tape. The question is how long the demand will remain vaguely mainstream vs when it will become more niche. The 2028 estimate of storage being dominated by SSDs seems vaguely reasonable to me.

Pure’s bravado of staying zero hard drives will be sold after 2028 seems silly but inline with what a flash storage company would say. But from a directional standpoint it probably is right that many use cases will get further eroded by SSDs. One big challenge with hard drives is access speed (throughout and latency) compared to nvme, and hard drives being used more as cold and near line storage is definitely going to continue. Write once access never in many cases.
That's interesting! I wasn't aware of this command when I started working on servicer. Anyway, there are a couple of utilities like `ser status` and `ser which` which you might find useful.

As a terabyte SSD is enough for everything I need random access to, and hard drives are not particularly reliable for backups storage, I wish we just had cheap reliable tape storage to put backups on. But small-scale tape storages appear to be more expensive per terabyte than HDDs are.
I wouldn't expect Manifest V3 to have any effect until Manifest V2 is actually disabled and ad blockers stop working. Approximately 0% of Chrome users are following technical browser announcements, they won't care until their stuff actually breaks.
That's a lot of domains! Did you source that from some other list, or is that a result of 67k individual entries? Either way, I appreciate it.

Out of curiosity, what's the rationale for blocking archive.is? Legal reasons I assume?
The real shame is Mozilla cutting back on Firefox development despite being a billion dollar corporation. Google would have had no leverage to push stuff like WEI if Firefox was the dominant browser.
But proving that it can't reason about _any number_ of problems doesn't prove that it can't reason. It doesn't matter how many negative cases there are if there's a _single_ positive case.

You can observe any number of white swans and that will never be proof that black swans do not exist, but a single observation of a black swan does prove that they exist.

Is chromium hostile towards non Google contributions? It's not clear to me why a community of many parties couldn't form and prevent this possibility. From what I can tell, the problem is largely a lack of companies who want to participate in chromium development.
My HDDs tend to last longer than my SSDs, too. For bulk data storage that isn't being transported frequently, it's a no-brainer. For anything else, though, I think SSDs still have the advantage despite their shorter lifespans because of their better tolerance for physical impact and higher read/write speeds.
The introduction of SSDs leading to SSD only personal computers accidentally set computing back about a decade. It's crazy that top tier computer manufacturers are actually selling computers with un-upgradable storage of only 256GB (and only 8GB of ram) in 2023. Then these users end up having to juggle a handful of external drives which are far more unreliable and likely to cause weird problems. The vast majority of my tech support is helping people with tiny SSDs deal with the problems of external drives and cloud storage.
ePubs yes. PDFs...they render fine but making them readable means zooming and panning around, plus the zoom resets when you change pages. Although once again, it was not designed as a reader but as a writer.

If privacy is a concern of yours, especially when it might involve Google, you should probably read Firefox's privacy notice:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/

There are more data and participants involved than one might expect, especially considering the prominent "At Mozilla, we believe that privacy is fundamental to a healthy internet." notice at the top.

You'll find the name "Google" in there a number of times, for example.

It could be argued that some of the privacy-compromising functionality can be disabled, or that Firefox is still the "least worst" option, and so on.

Ultimately, though, I don't think that Firefox is as privacy-respecting as some people seem to mistakenly believe it is.

If Firefox truly did respect the privacy of its users, that privacy notice would be a lot simpler than it actually is.
It's not an actual fork, by the way. Them saying so doesn't make it so. It uses chromium as a base and applies quite a lot of patches. Otherwise every chromium based browser is a fork, despite all pulling in more or less all upstream patches?
> bank means you have a wing tilted up and a wing tilted down, increasing the vertical height of the plane at a time you’re trying to increase vertical separation

Yes, but it's also increasing horizontal separation (from a predicted value of zero), which might still be a reasonable tradeoff to consider.
I don't get your argument.

Hard drive technology pretty much always got more complex as time goes on. Do you think bits shrink themselves?

20+ years ago, we had "Get Perpendicular" explaining why perpendicular bits were a good idea. https://archive.org/details/get-perpendicular

All future technologies are more complex than our past techs. I mean, should we say that future SSDs are doomed because they're going for 4-bits per cell and 300+ layers of silicon rather than the single-layer single-bit simple designs from 10 years ago?

It isn't rocket science. Cities in the US are pretty undesirable places to be outside a very select demographic of the population. Decent areas tend to be expensive, public transportation is generally bad, walkability is often poor, schools tend to be very poor, and they tend to have more crime. So what you get is a living situation where you either pay out the ear to live somewhere with the actual benefits of living in a city (walkability, public transportation, lots of public services/amenities), or you pay to live in an area that doesn't actually provide many of those benefits, is actively hostile to families (especially with young children), is more dangerous, all so you might have a shorter commute. So the people who end up actually making the most of the city tend to be:

- Rich, young, childless
- Less affluent but still young and childless and able/willing to live with roommates

Once you fall out of those two groups, the benefits of living in an American city do a huge nosedive, and so it's no surprise that people move to the suburbs or more rural areas.

I lived in Japan for several years, and I may be overly harsh in judgements due to the fact that Japanese cities are possibly in contention for the best, most functional, livable cities in the world. But in my opinion American urban development has been an unmitigated disaster that will take decades to heal, if it ever does.
I think its malignant narcissism. If you believe you are smarter than everyone else for long enough you convince yourself you can get away with anything. If you actually manage to get away with things for long enough as SBF did for a long time, your worldview is probably pretty warped by it and you think you are the only one smart enough to solve the situation you find yourself in. This is why people like SBF and Trump ignore the advice of counsel and just keep running their mouths. They cannot help themselves. They cannot stop. If they are smart, wealthy and lucky enough they get away with it to... until they dont.

If said genetic algorithms were used to directly spew forth symbols that represent or point towards human experience (“language”) as if the underlying processes that ultimately form the foundation of said symbols could be approximated by slowly changing random walks, then, yes, I’d question the usefulness of that approach.

My favorite part of running a FreeBSD cluster was that you almost never had to reboot it. The kernel rarely changed -- most kernel settings could be changed on the fly with a config file, and most everything else ran in userspace. We had boxes with uptimes over 700 days.

Nowadays that matters a lot less, since you most likely have redundant hardware. But back then (in the 90s), hardware was expensive and more often than not you had one big beefy box running your entire website, so reboots mattered.

I miss running FreeBSD. But for a long time you couldn't run it in EC2, and I never ran it as a home server, because at home I'm more interested in experimental things that usually show up on Linux first.

But it was great what I was running enterprise on-prem hardware.
When I recently upgraded my setup, I had to choose whether to convert my local backup processes to SSDs or stick with HDDs, albeit newer and faster HDDs than their snail-like predecessors. I did the usual research into which option made more sense when strictly for backup purposes rather than frequent “live” data access, and decided HDDs were my better long-term choice. YMMV.
I think maybe this has happened, some.

In many of the recent wars. Afghanistan/Iraq, or even others like Ukraine.

The US 'group think' is to not criticize the 'people' of the country.

The population is separated from the government. Most media is very pro - "The wonderful people of the country whom surely had nothing to do with the evil government we'd like to see defeated". Criticizing the population is not allowed. Even thought they must have had some influence on their government. Hence how it is very much not allowed to criticize Muslims.

Even in Ukraine, it is not allowed to criticize the "Russian People", who surely are with us against their evil government.
The last ice age had average global temperatures that were about 6-8 degrees (centigrade) lower (if I remember correctly) than global temperatures in the 19th century. Large parts of Europe, Asia and North America were under a permanent ice shield during that time, flora and fauna looked dramatically different.

Currently, global temperatures are 1-1.5 degrees higher than in the 19th century. This is already a massive shift that comes with severe consequences. Temperatures will rise further even under best case scenarios and if we do not curtail CO2 emissions radically, we will see temperatures rise to +2 degrees and more.

Not sure about you but I’d rather not find out what”a third of an ice age but hot “ looks like.
There's no need to handle narcosis, just use more helium. Regardless of whether you subjectively feel it, the effect is always there and increases progressively with depth. Some divers claim that they can adapt to it and minimize the effects through repeated exposure but there's no reliable evidence that really works; I think they're just fooling themselves.

Note that some of the serious narcotic effects that divers feel are often due to CO2, which is even more narcotic than nitrogen. If you exert yourself and don't ventilate effectively then hypercapnia can hit you hard. Adding more helium to the mix also helps with this by reducing the gas density and making it easier to blow off the CO2.
Too many MC's take that word 'emcee' lightly.

It's ironic you accuse me of having "idiotic libertarian positions" when all you've done is repeat your point and not addressing any of my points.

Going back to the original question, how should we deal with it? It'll be great if the government or some private benefactor decided to make those people whole. I'm not against that. However, if that's not an option, rich people putting in "unfair offer" is less bad than the alternative.
It's narcotic effect comes from lipid solubility (and because it basically crowds out other gases - likely oxygen - needed for chemical reactions). So basically, because it's an inert gas it prevents some reactions.

> Much of the dreg published back then by Bailey, Blanchard, Raymond and others has long since been discredited by the scientific community and before you say anything: no, not because of ‘wokeism gone mad’.

> One pillar of their research back then (and in part - to this day) was insisting trans women are men who suffer from a condition called autogynephilia (a fetish for seeing oneself as an attractive woman - the theory Dreger is referring to).

There are many transwomen who freely admit that autogynephilia describes the inner feelings. For example, there is a whole community here: https://old.reddit.com/r/askAGP

Also, Blanchard's typology covers more than just the autogynephilics. Here's a very accessible summary that Bailey and Blanchard wrote of their gender dysphoria research, covering various different clinical presentations: https://4thwavenow.com/2017/12/07/gender-dysphoria-is-not-on...

The thing that these young and/or inexperienced developers don't understand is: Frameworks are not your friend. Framework projects are not created with your benefit in mind. Frameworks are created as an opening salvo so that some developers or organization can gain a foothold in the landscape and start collecting money from consulting contracts. The reason there are 1,000 React alternatives is not "people like signals more than hooks", the real root cause is 1,000 people want to steal market share from React so they can get paid as a consultant. "I like signals more than hooks" folks are just useful, predictable pieces of the landscape to be manipulated in this scheme.
Why would you do this instead of just converting the digits to a fraction over a power of 10 and then reducing the fraction (or power of 2, if it's a floating point datatype)? I was thinking it was faster, but the recursive procedure involves a division step, so I would assume that calculating GCD using the binary algorithm (which is just uses shifts and subtraction) would be faster? I guess this is if your numeric data-type can't fit the size of the denominator?
Do tell what age brackets you are making these brazen assumptions on behalf of. ;)
Interestingly enough the Marxist variation on this is that, if we assume Marx's Labor Theory of Value (I know, big assumption for most, but let's just go with it and see what the conclusion would be): All surplus value is extracted from human labor, automation (including AI) is just efficiency which is used by Capitalist to gain temporary advantage over other Capitalist. This advantage is always temporary.

The second part of this logic is quite apparent: Assuming AI is game changing, early adopters will see an initial advantage, but in the long run everyone will have to use AI or no longer be competitive.

But the LTV (remember, for the sake of exploration we're assuming this is true) argues that value is always extracted as surplus (i.e. unpaid) labor from humans. So LTV would predict that if AI truly replaces humans we would ultimately see a decline in the surplus value that Capitalists extract, i.e. we would b faced with an economic crisis.

So LTV would predict that we would have either just as much or more hours of human labor happening or we would enter an economic crisis.
The things that a lot of these types analyses miss is that while it makes sense to argue that LLMs may enable more overall work by humans, this work exists at a higher difficulty level that many people just aren't able to accomplish.

Here's a specific example: ChatGPT has already started taking away the work of copywriters - there have been a bunch of mainstream media articles about this. I think it's fine to argue "That type of copywriting was low-value work anyway. Now this means that sales and marketing folks will be able to operate at a higher strategic level since they no longer have to deal as much with 'how should this specific blurb on the website be phrased'." The problem with this is 2 fold:

1. A lot of that "low value work" is how new folks learn the tools of the trade to begin with. Over the past 30 or more years technology has done a very good job at "removing" the lower rungs of the career ladder. Remember those stories we used to hear about how folks "worked their way up from the mailroom, or from being a secretary"? The mailroom and secretaries largely don't exist anymore.

2. In my experience and belief, there are a large swath of people that just want to be given instructions and then execute them well and with pride. I think it bodes very, very, very poorly for society if all of those types of jobs go away and the response to those people is basically "fine, you can exist at a level just above starving". We had a booming post WWII middle class because there were tons of these types of good paying factory (and office) jobs that allowed people to have dignity in their work. The destruction of those types of jobs is a huge part of our current social strife and "deaths of dispair" in my opinion.
