Well, no, because some have impacted Earth before. But if we limit ourselves to large bodies, yes. The current record holder is 99942 Apophis, which briefly had an estimated probability of 2.7% of an impact in 2029 (which has since been eliminated as a possibility). Apophis and ZTm0038 are around the same size.

If ZTm0038 does indeed have a 3% chance of impact, it would, like Apophis, land as a 4 on the Torino scale, tying the record for the most threatening asteroid in history. Unlike Apophis, however, the impact has a lead time of hours, not decades. Efforts might have been made to deflect Apophis; no such effort could realistically be made for ZTm0038.

It's worth noting that NASA's Scout page (https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/scout/#/object/ZTm0038) for ZTm0038 has a much higher probability of impact: of their 1000 sampled orbital solutions, 160 of them impact Earth. A 16% chance of impact for a 400m asteroid would put ZTm0038 on the border of a Torino 5, and would make it by far the most threatening asteroid ever discovered.

That said, note that the prior here has to be that an impact of such a size is very unlikely. Such impacts are exceedingly rare. The Tunguska event, for example, was an asteroid 1/8 the diameter (so 1/8^3 = 512 times smaller in volume) as ZTm0038, and it was by far the largest impact in recorded history. Since impacts roughly follow a power law, the much larger putative impact of ZTm0038 would be proportionately rarer, the sort of thing you'd see every hundred thousand years or so.

Twitter has many features, but not all of them are necessary. For example, there is no need to implement popups blocking the page and demanding a user to register, or detailed telemetry collecting user data from 20 different providers.
well no, the person didn't consent, where is the gotcha?

While you are right, it’s not limited to telcos or isps, seems like in general consumer pricing must be required to be transparent.

Yet they can put them on the bill each month, no problem? This is a specious line of reasoning, that it's too hard to list the fees, but easy to charge for them. Same lookup, written on the same damn bill. Not an extra cost.

It's a fundamental rule of fiscal responsibility to account for every penny in the bill.
There's something fucky about that. He's comparing the total amount of electrical potential energy in a human body to the amount of chemical energy available to a living worm's metabolism. A typical human has about one hundred thousand times the mass of a typical earthworm, so this guy is saying human flesh is one thousand times more energy-dense than worm flesh. Horseshit.

Edit: That whole article is riddled with errors. For example, he states 220mm^2 is 88% the surface area of a dime when in fact it is 87% of the surface area of one face of a dime.

The big advantage of Google Domains was that I could automatically connect my domains to other google services like Cloud Run, Google Search Console, Analytics, Adsense etc. without all the complexity of adding TXT records or text files.

I hope it continues to work with Squarscape.

It is beyond me why Google domains could not be a part of Google Cloud. It makes so much sense.
I wonder how many people mistakenly believe they are affiliated with Discord, due to the deceptively similar domain name
Turn off the comments ;) Or just publish anonymously.

I was actually considering doing this on gemini, because I've got that fear too. An append-only log habit is definitely helping me lately, why not make it (semi-)public?

I think there's a single meachanism underneath both this and rubber ducking. There's something about getting your thoughts in order at a verbal (or textual) level that aids understanding.

Likewise!

Much more interesting, ultimately, than any of the actual arguments is the modern method of evaluating them. It's not foolproof (fools are clever!) but it offers a chance of results that amount to more than just one more opinion.

Grist was one of the first tools we looked at but it wasn't the desktop-first app my team was hoping for. Self-hosting a service felt like a little too much upkeep, on top of all the other systems we own. I recall the data was also not git diff-able.
So it’s a compulsory contribution to state revenue levied by the government and added to the cost of the service? Because that’s what a tax is…

No, I don't forget that. There's obviously a starting point, behaviors and abilities that newborns already have. The point is that the model is not static.

Can't login or create a new Twitter Account
So today I tried to login to twitter after a while away but the password I normally use didn't work. I attempted to reset my password, but I always logged in using and email password combo. As a part of the password reset flow it asked me my username. I have no idea what my username is.

So I thought I would create a new account and search for myself, then lookup my user name.

But apparently you can't even create new a new account at the moment. I just get a blank screen.

I share the frustration! I have to open lots of small and large CSV files daily, with multiple encodings. Usually I'm juggling between Excel, Numbers, and Sublime text editor - depending on which one would open that file faster.

Naturally, I installed Modern CSV seconds after seeing this post.

I'm on MacBook M2, using trackpad 1) the vertical scroll is slow and un-mac-like, unnatural; and 2) horizontal scroll basically doesn't work, it scrolls a column or a half on a full swipe, but it does improve somewhat when there's less content in the cells.

I admire your work, please keep on going, there's a huge need!
Looks interesting. Also worth checking out (which I use) is Visidata, similar to this but TUI.

This isn't true at all. Most people are using containers anyway, and guess what they're running in those containers...

ASP.net had it's day, and everyone wanted to instead run their .NET apps on linux rather than deal with windows licensing and security issues, which is why mono was so popular

Other things had their chance too, like MacOS-based hosting, and it never really took off, again because people don't want to manage closed-source production systems that they can't simply patch themselves.
Update, I think the account did create, you just don't get redirected from that blank page.

I haven't had any issue using WebEx for large numbers of people. Jitsi is another option that has performed well whenever I've used it. (But I haven't tried Jitsi with huge groups.)
This is very interesting and actually in the usable realm, for some use cases
The OSS solutions include: Jitsi, Bigbluebutton (BBB) and Galène. I toyed with Jitsi when the pandemic hit but was battered into using Teams instead. It was very quick in my estimation.

Teams and Zoom suffer from (hyper)scaling issues. They have way more resources than you and I but when lots of people decide to use it simultaneously then it will suffer - death by a thousand or millions of cuts.

If you can self host on a reasonable platform then you will almost certainly get a far better experience than any big jobbie. You will need suitable internets for your server too. You will want 10-30ms latency and roughly 5Mbs-1 per attendee for 1080p. So for 25 users, you will need something like 150Mbs-1.

For you, I would get your mates together and self-host. Surely you have a nerd who could run the thing for you? If not, then farm it out but do be careful.

Obviously, where you actually are is rather important. I'm in the UK and will have rather different advice for a substantially different environment.
Folks talk a lot about SaaS but there are other markets too, like in my case the embedded market. In this market most companies use custom toolchains and proprietary compilers with less-than-ideal standards conformance. The only way for companies to know if my software will even compile with their toolchain is if it's published (open source). That doesn't mean I need to publish all the code; unit tests and project-specific development tools can remain proprietary.
Also all through Australia!
I live in the area, and loved Centurylink for this reason (symmetric gigabit, extremely low latency), but am stuck with Xfinity.

I wasn't trying to diss Svelte at all with my comment, my question is very sincere. I use Svelte for a few local apps on my home network (board game and a music playlist selectors) but I have a very hard time convincing people starting new projects to consider it. That's why I tried to pose it as a question because I don't really know how to argue against it.
Copyright holder can always switch to any license they want. Difficulties only emerge if there are multiple copyright holders because contributors weren’t required to assign copyright. Workarounds include rewriting or removing the code owned by someone else.

Previously released versions cannot have their licenses rescinded unless there is clause allowing it.

vast.ai does denote GPU's as either PCIe or SXM (SXM for the A100's and now H100's up there). The SXM bandwidth between GPU's is the full n-way NV-link, the best you can get;

They also have a little stat that lists 'per-GPU' bandwidth in GB/s and what PCIe version and speed is being used. So they must run some tests beforehand to gauge this. When I look on there now it varys setup to setup. I see people running quad 4090's on PCIe4.0 x16 with 24GB/s bandwidth between them, some people running x8, some on PCIe3.0 with 11 GB/s, even someone with quad 3090's but all on PCIe 2.0 x1 slots with the bandwidth reading 0.3GB/s!!! (likely an old mining rig with those x1 slots)

We don't charge any fees, short of the $90 a month for unlimited Gigabit Ethernet speeds fibre.
I feel so bad for you all. As a tech behemoth you bring amazing technology to the lives of everyone on the planet (well, within reason). But it seems your personal lives have to suffer as a result, it's so screwed up.
I hope all and any stupid additional "fees" are shot down. The "Service costs you $X a month" should be all you see, it's up the ISP to account for all their outgoings before setting that price.

Edit: To be clear, the ISP I work for. I don't think any of the others do either, but I obviously can't vouch for what they do/don't do. I know the Mobile Carriers here aggregate and sell locations data from the cell towers.

I experienced this the other day. The argument was about the rules for who can be US vice-president. One side was using the US constitution as the ultimate decider. The other side was using a French 14 hundred definition of who can be vice-president. This was in the US. These types of arguments are happening regularly. If people are picking their own rule book, how can we ever come to an agreement?

Congrats on the launch. Great read.

Is there any rough infrastructure cost comparison?

Excluding the cost of engineering effort, which I understand is the major pitch.
I've worked for an ISP. The only fees that are arguably reasonable are taxes imposed on the company so you can say we offer $n across many markets + local/state/federal taxes as applicable.

These taxes are a tiny minority of such fees which exist solely to open with we offer service for a small n which is a crappy undesirable level of service whereas actually charging as much as 2n for small levels of n.

Instead of disclosing them just make all extra fees for consumer facing service illegal and force a singular ala carte cost where the total cost is the sum of entries like buying cans of beans at the grocery store.

It's a known field that needs no creativity in its pricing model.
I genuinely don't think it's possible for federated services to be "at least as convenient" as centralised alternatives, in general. At a certain point convenience must come at a cost, and if you ruthlessly optimise for convenience like many of these centralised platforms do then you will end up trading away federation, privacy and openness.

Email is probably the most convenient federated service out there and it is both (i) not that convenient (compared to things like WhatsApp etc) and (ii) not that decentralised (now being gatekept by a few big names like Google).

That's not to say we should treat the fediverse as an ideological movement or that we shouldn't try make it as convenient as possible. But I think it will pretty much always be the case that when you choose an open, federated service over a centralised one you are giving up a bit of ease of use for other considerations.
Do a search, then re-order the results based on a criteria. Easy when the criteria is easy to code, less so when it isn't. But turns out LLMs are pretty good at interpreting the re-ranking instructions.
I've done a bunch of optimization for GPU code (in CUDA) and there are typically a few bottle necks that really matter:

- memory bandwidth

- interconnect bandwidth between the CPU and GPU

- interconnect bandwidth between GPUs

- thermals and power if you're doing a good job of optimizing the rest

I don't see how a batching mechanism would improve on any of those, superficially it looks as though that would make matters worse rather than better. Can you explain where the advantage comes from?
I use WebEx, but I can use my video conferencing equipment to call into Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Amazon Chime because they are all interoperable. This is not the case with Zoom.

Standards exist for video conferencing, but Zoom refuses to work with them simply because they think their market position will allow it.

Jitsi is quite a nightmare to work with, and presents a whole range of challenges and difficulties to use and support. Users often encounter difficulties with connecting, experience unexpected participant drops, struggle with subpar video quality, and face issues with loss of audio and visual streams. Unfortunately, there's also a complete lack of any adequate support tools, making it near impossible to address these concerns effectively.

The codebase of Jitsi is quite a tangled tightly coupled mess, exhibiting poor coding practices in Java. As a result, its performance is subpar, and it struggles to scale efficiently, especially in larger conferences. Even achieving consistent performance in smaller gatherings can prove to be a challenge. With respect to deployment, thats also another complicated mess. Browser version upgrades also often completely break the platform, requiring waiting for fixes then having to update and redeploy your entire system end to end because, as mentioned above, its very highly tightly coupled. You simply cannot compare this to native apps like zoom or teams.

While Jitsi might suffice for casual interactions among a small circle of friends, it pales in comparison to more reliable platforms like Zoom or even Discord. For those seeking a dependable alternative to platforms like Zoom, don't even bother with Jitsi as it falls far far short and will be a massive time and support money sink for your corporation.

Yeaaaaa that's gonna be a serious "citations (plural and trustworthy) needed" from me there
Importantly, none of these are fees ISPs "can" charge; they're taxes that public bodies collect through the ISP's billing system.

This is false. The ex parte filing itself clearly states that these passed-thru fees are not taxes and that part of the burden ISPs are trying to avoid is having to break out these fees the way they already are required to break out taxes.

The truly bizarre thing is that the ISPs already have the breakdown of these fees available to them when they create the bill. They're actually doing more work to obfuscate this information by summing those amounts together.

The ISPs aren't responsible for this stuff, and shouldn't be asked to do more work to further conceal decisions our elected officials are making for us.

But that's exactly what ISPs are trying to do. If you truly understood what you appear to be arguing for (accountability for elected officials), you should be in favor of requiring ISPs to break out these fees separately...because then customers would be able to see exactly what fees are making their bills so large.

The only reason ISPs don't want to do this is because they impose their own, wholly-made up "service fees" and include this in the fee amount they "pass along" to the customers. If they had to break out fees separately, it would be immediately apparent that government-imposed fees are a substantially smaller portion of the bill than ISPs (and their sycophants) claim.
