Which ever solution for disks you end up with, you should definitely always be using something that keeps around periodic snapshots.
Can you give an example of what question someone asked GPT-4 and was misled? And how that question was better answered by one of your tutorials?
Honestly I think any LOTR fan should be so grateful for those movies. It could have gone wrong in so many ways. At one point it was supposed to be a single movie. It could have deviated completely from the books, it could have been super cheaply made. Remember, the books didn't have a big pop culture presence at the time. Fortunately, Jackson and others involved were really passionate about doing it right, and convinced New Line to take a big risk on it. Maybe they should have changed nothing, but I think that's unreasonable. It's a different medium, where storytelling and pacing are just different, and also we live in reality, and people are looking for returns on their investment.

The Hobbit movies are different story. I don't know if we'll ever know entirely what happened, but from what I can deduce, there were too many studios involved looking for huge returns, and they made big changes too late, including moving expanding from 2 movies to 3, and switching directors.

The Harry Potter movies are pretty faithful, but they remove tons of content. The books get much longer as the series go on, but the movies don't, so 4, 5, 6 are really flying through scenes just to get through the main plot.
There has always been political disfunction. There were hundreds of annual domestic political bombings in the US in the 60/70s.
> What violence occurred during the transition of power? Who tried to stop the political processes?

There wasn't supposed to be a transition of power. A violent initiation to the transfer of power when transfer of power was not supposed to occur is a non-peaceful transfer of power.
I’ve personally used a HoloLens, and I would consider it not useful outside of very specific edge cases. The viewport is extremely small (as in, most of your vision is not the hologram despite it still restricting your vision considerably), it’s hazy, low res, not very bright, and objects were not perfectly stable. It still was exciting as crap to use one, but a HoloLens vs the hardware of the vision pro is about on par with an original PlayStation vs a PS5. It’s more than a generational leap. I haven’t seen a vision pro in person, but I’ve seen a Vive, and that’s already leaps and bounds above a HoloLens in quality. The HoloLens works differently than the vision pro, which is really an extremely sophisticated VR headset, so they’re not even the same product category really. A HoloLens is more similar to a Google Glass.
I don't think the original Lord of the Rings trilogy would really be filmable as a 1:1 book to film adaptation. As a book fan I think Peter Jackson did a pretty good job with it in general; the behind the scenes footage really shows that they did care about the source material. Fellowship particularly I would still say is great, Two Towers and ROTK have some moments that are either downright ridiculous or against the spirit of the novel but they're still okay as films.

The Hobbit on the other hand really feels generally awful. I watched a fan-cut of it that cuts all 3 movies down to about 4 hours of content and it felt just about watchable.

>The Harry Potter movies were fabulous in my opinion because the stories were not hacked by directors who felt they knew better than the original author. I may be wrong on that but that's my understanding - that largely the Harry Potter movies are true to the script.

I think you can attribute this more to JKR being still alive and in control of her creation than well-meaning production studios / directors.

There are heaps of easy ways for kids to get hooked on programming. Almost arguably too many.

The point was, until a comparatively long time had passed, typing in BASIC was almost ALL Johnny could do. Entire forests of trees were cut down, pulped and turned into numbered line input programs in magazines to play mastermind, tic-tac-toe, table lookup adventure games, or before the modscene was cool, moire pattern b&w interference fringe freak out pop art graphics.

Johnny or Joanna could even be tricked into hard drugs like systems programming a Kansas city standard cassette tape reader and writer, or a new Font. BASIC was a gateway drug.

Kids, if you learned about recursion, don't tell mom.
Apple wanted one FS across all devices and ZFS's ARC makes that less than useful in memory-starved phones (and base model Airs amirite?)

ZFS's separate cache meant that the better choice was APFS. Once they got around to writing it.

And on drives at least, TM backups ARE APFS snapshots.
That Hobbit trilogy? GAWD. I tried reading the hobbit and while I loved it, I agree while at the same time saying that culture is rampant.

Like how they’ll never stop making Willy Wonkas or Alice in Wonderlands, and each gets increasingly painful.
I felt that the Harry Potter films kind of missed out on what made the books so special. In the books, besides the slowly building adventure/mystery story, all the episodic, mundane day to day drama in the life of the school really felt like living through a school year in a surprisingly realistic way. The movies I saw focused on the adventure and lost a lot of that charm of feeling like you’re back in school alongside the characters.
And yet they struggle to take one of the poorest countries in Europe with a fraction of the population of the US. But I'm sure their dozen maybe kinda stealthy fighters with little training will be able take on literally hundreds of jets with competently trained pilots.
>The HD floppy is to formatted 1.44MB, not 1.2MB, and unformatted capacity was 2.0MB.

The unformatted capacity isn't measured in MB. A floppy is analog media.

The controller deals with an analog signal from/to the floppy drive, which in turn is translated with the floppy's surface itself through the drive's header.

There's a variety of physical formats by which to coerce data into tracks.
I hope this corporate sponsorship won't go the way that wireguard went. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/03/buffer-overruns-lice...

What worries me the most is them doubling down on it after it was shown to be a mess and totally insecure. I imagine to protect the corporate image. But such corporate interests don't belong in FreeBSD. Just admit you hired the wrong guy (or the right guy at the wrong time) and take the hit. Because it wasn't even the company's fault really.

The lack of serious review on the freebsd side was also a big one but I find the 'strings attached' the biggest issue myself because it made mitigation of serious issues such a problem.

The large amount of corporate kernel work in Linux is why I went for FreeBSD and to see whatever little go so wrong was worrying.

WD cleaned up their act after the deathstar era and Seagate repeatedly shat the bed on HDD reliability (which continues to this day, backblaze had a bunch of seagate failures again). There’s literally only 3-4 players left, HGST was bought by WD, and then there’s Toshiba, so the choices aren’t very deep. I’ve had good results with Toshiba but they’re often more expensive, and volume is a lot lower than the other players.

Samsung SSDs are another darling of the gaming community that has produced a parade of defective products over the last decade. Literally since the 830 series I think there has only been one or two models without a massive firmware defect or faulty flash.
That's my understanding also: protect the house from being ignited, rather than "protect the plot from fire".

Science journalists should understand that one paper is just a piece of the puzzle.
OpenZFS is a fork of the Sun/Oracle release of ZFS. The OpenZFS maintainers cannot change the license without consent of the copyright owners, and Oracle is unlikely to consent. Oracle could potentially change the terms in a future release of CDDL, and that might work, too.

Similarly, Linux probably has too many contributors, some of which are no longer living, to come to an agreement on a fixed license either.

Although, license changes do happen; OpenSSL did one recently, but I think there are fewer contributors.
May be that is the key to the problem. We should have a programmer os vs a user os, sort of like macOS vs the underlying command interface. Not like dos to windows. The unix or linux is designed by programmers for programmers. User should pay their way out by paying the programmer.

Obviously there is some in-between cases… occasional use is ok.
Conveniently shielding human perpetrators of white collar crime.

This ephemeral fake world of contemporary society is not some sacrosanct construct, or divine mandate. There is no immutable obligation to preserve it.
Sure you can. I never saw the hobbit movies because I heard they had a lot of fighting. It’s a lighthearted book.
Because it uses code released by Sun under the CDDL. Oracle has since closed sourced the whole thing again so they're not going to change the license of this old code, they don't even want it out there but they can't take it back.

Doing a clean room rewrite would be a huge job.

I love this essay, but at the same time understand why it would be very, very difficult to recapture the days of my youth. BASIC was, absolutely, a carrier of culture in a way that no programming language is today. There were armies of geeky young kids in the suburbs who got Commodore 64s or TI 99/4s for x-mas. Maybe one in ten kept with it to the point they wrote a halfway complex program. But that's still tens or hundreds of thousands of kids all experiencing the same joy of debugging programs you typed in from a print magazine. BASIC defined what we knew about computing and to paraphrase McLuhan... "The programming language is the program."

And BASIC itself got stuffed into early micros 'cause 6502 or 8080 assembly is irritating, if not hard. Chuck Peddle commented on a Computer History Museum Oral History that they originally thought of the 6502 as an industrial or automotive controller, and it wasn't until people like Woz and Bill Gates were stuffing BASIC into Apple ]['s and Commodore PETS (I think the TRS-80 originally had Tiny BASIC)... but it wasn't until BASIC appeared built into the system that the "rough patches" were worn down. Sure, BASIC is a crap language compared to <whatever your current favourite language is>, but it ran in 4-8K of 8080 or 6502 opcodes. Try and stuff Python in to 8k. BASIC was "good enough" to write simple programs on primitive microcomputers.

And the experience of just turning something on and typing at a BASIC program 6 seconds later is sort of lost. And while I love my leenucks bocks, I do sort of miss my 99/4.
The fact that genital mutilation still happens today, and people

This map looks like a topomap. According to said map, I will be 1 meter underwater in a 100 year flood. But the map also looks to ignore the 4 meters of steel/concrete lined channel that run behind my neighborhood. FEMA puts me in zone X (500 year flood zone).

Have you read The Silmarillion, by chance? It gives a great deal of the background mythology of LOTR.
Agreed. Don’t mind them talking to my former neighbors or doing forensic accounting on my bank accounts to make sure I’m not a foreign adversary. Definitely do mind being strapped to polygraph and being forced to pretend that it’s not a complete waste of time for everyone involved. They’re filtering far more smart people than they’re filtering dummies who don’t know the device is just a prop. Can’t make stupidity a part of the hiring process when you’re offering government salary bands.
I too love the books, I've read the trilogy at least 16 times and the Silmarillion at least 3 or 4 at this point (haven't gotten into the others yet but hope to one day). Yes, the tv series can be entirely forgotten. So can the hobbit trilogy - I personally don't mind if the tone is a bit more lighthearted, the book was as well, it was meant to be more of a children's book after all. But certainly much of the extra material could have been removed, and I don't think it needed to be a trilogy, two movies at most. The book has far less material than the LotR trilogy books do and the third movie dragged on forever on pointless battle scenes.

But as for the original Jackson trilogy movies, I think it's entirely possible to appreciate those as someone who loved the books. There are only two major gripes I can think of which are particularly inexcusable and a few smaller things I would've liked to change but which are excusable either for not being particularly consequential, or because of time constraints. Overall though blocking the two major complaints out of my memory, it's quite well done. For a twelve hour film to have only two major gripes compared to the books, I'm not actually sure if there are any other film/book adaptations with a ratio that good.
Re-read the article. It's not about how hard it is for kids to learn about programming, it's about how difficult it is to fine a mass of kids who all know the same language and how you can turn on your Commodore 64 and be typing a program 6 seconds later. You really can't do that with any modern system. Heck, it takes 10 seconds for my C64 emulator to load on Android.
It was good when it was only restricted to famous people, but once it was open to everyone, the quality dropped exponentially. It's the same as what happened to Quora.

To expound on your point, corporations will be able to use AI - giant conglomerates such as Disney, that own enough media to train AI models on only works they own copyright on (and own enough senators to make sure those copyrights last), will happily use AI.

But you, peasant, can only train it on century+ old works. Because "to promote the progress of science and useful arts", nothing post-WWII may become public domain, or artists will starve and culture wither.
The C&D article suggests 205 miles, which is presumably a brand new battery in warm climate.

I'm not a car guy, and I loved Marques' video, too... but for $2.x million, you'd hope road mode would give you a bit more rope. Tesla S has different tiers, but they all seem to be over 400 miles.

This seems more like a bucket list experience. Go to a closed track, pay high three-figures, sign six forms, drive really fast for an hour.

I don't care how much you're worth; driving a $2.xM car around is just asking for fate to slap you down. I would have stress nightmares.

The more real climate change becomes, the more fanciful and fantastic the deniers conspiracies get. There's a classic 70 year old book on this as a nice introduction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Prophecy_Fails

In climate change's case, they say "it doesn't exist" and then it happens. It's the same social mechanisms regardless.

They used to just call scientists alarmists, then fraudsters, and now that it's happening there's witchcraft, shadowy cabals, secret weapons, global conspiracies ... this isn't a self-correcting epistemology, it just goes further off the rails.

Check out how wildly complicated covid conspiracies have gotten now that their global government never came, people didn't all drop dead from the vaccine, and everything mostly returned to normal. They're spinning rube goldberg towers of fantastic tales to stay in their delusions.
> It saddens me that the Lord of The Rings was commercialised.

They don’t have to maintain anything. Admit it was a stupid practice and stop doing it. Maintaining appearances makes them look dumb AND stubborn AND unwilling to admit prior mistakes. Yeah, sign me up.
That's what Parallel Construction is for.
Great read, had no idea it was so incredibly bad! Definitely like pseudo-science, with extremely poor reproducibility. And a lot of dishonest massaging of words to make it seem much more certain than it is, benefiting the prosecution only. Imagine being innocent and having an “expert” take the stand and say it’s a “practical impossibility” that the bullet was fired from any other gun. The analogy with the tarot cards seems appropriate.

Seems like markings can be exculpatory at best, for instance that casings or bullets clearly don’t match, but that the “unique markings” of an individual barrel is complete BS, especially with precision mass production of modern firearms. But in practice, it seems to rarely exonerate suspects, even if the evidence exists.
Both of those conceits apply to Apple's scheme as well, though. Transparency enforces accountability, Apple themselves wouldn't be using things like OpenSSL and bash if they weren't open enough to scrutinize and modify.
Ha. I got to see Dr. Mullins speak back in University. Fascinating guy.
> Though it's hard to imagine anything with 4kib of state being very fast! is it just a precomputed power table or something where the whole thing isn't even accessed for short inputs?

Correct, it's a pregenerated table of random bits that, in essence, gets multiplied with the input. If the input is small, only a small portion gets accessed.

> That mix at the end is just an addition with a secret constant, right? I'd expect then the least significant bits to not be improved much by it.

No, the mix at the end is as follows:

x ^= x >> 32;
x *= 0xe9846af9b1a615dULL;
x ^= x >> 32;
x *= 0xe9846af9b1a615dULL;
x ^= x >> 28;
x += secret;

The addition of secret at the end ensures that the permutation is not trivially invertible by an adversary. The rest is a Murmur-style permutation, which PolymurHash gets part of its name from.
Do the arguments against rent control also apply to affordable housing unit construction mandates? Seems like they would.
What's the carbon footprint of the manufacturing? Meat is also distributed.

> Insurance companies wouldn't refuse to cover them for those conditions because it isn't good business sense

> The crux of the argument is this paragraph. But swap out AI in that paragraph for "writers who have read the classical western canon" and suddenly you realize that no one has original ideas, and that the idea that somehow humans are uniquely capable of being the primary causes of their own thoughts and owe transitive credit (and royalties!) to the great authors of all time, or their estates, is madness.

I disagree. As a cinephile and bibliophile, I'm often astounded by the creativity of writers. I don't know where they get their inspiration. Sadly, I don't possess such creative inspiration myself, despite having read "the classical western canon". Much of the great work is actually autobiographical, taken from the writer's own life rather than derivative from previous work.

Darwin, in northern Australia, was flattened by cyclone Tracy in 1974: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Tracy

For the next twenty or so years, most new construction was in heavy concrete that looked like it could withstand a nuclear bomb.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-31/curious-darwin-top-en...

Then the next generation apparently forgot about Tracy, and the current crop of buildings have the wispy floor to ceiling plate glass windows etc you'd see in any modern designer building slash greenhouse, which is spectacularly unsuited to a tropical climate and even worse for cyclones.
As someone in Socal, not really concerned. The atmospheric rivers last year were far more terrifying. We had a ton of snowpack, and if they had come along just a little bit later in the year we could have had an Arkstorm scenario.
Says I'm blocked. Thanks for trying though.
Yes.

In general for something to be optimal supply must meet demand. Usually if demand is high supply will eventually follow. Demand for construction (creating supply) is there, but for reasons we don’t need to get into, it’s not allowed.

So affordable housing is throwing the relative poor a bone, but the thing is those mandates change profit margins if the non-affordable housing cannot effectively eat the cost, changing the demand for construction.
I’m still wondering if they actually clicked through any of their ads. You know just to see if everything is actually working like it’s supposed to. Just like going to your companies website and filling out any of those forms found there. Then follow up if they work or not. Then maybe having a significant other clicking through the ads. To make sure things make sense to them. I mean if you’re spending the money on it might as well kick the tires.
