One single database cluster might not be an issue to migrate to another cloud provider.

But that single DB is just a piece of the business puzzle. Networking, web applications, even backups. That's hard to migrate (And hard here means it will take massive effort and time)

Good teams have plans in case they need to migrate. But I think not all teams are prepared for such scenario.

I would be happy with an equal among peers. There's nothing wrong with other modes, except that one dominates to the detriment of all others. And by detriment, I mean everything from safety to the design of communities.
Why does the market "reward" that behavior?

Middlemanagers that failed to Left-Shift LOL. Good riddance ... the only time T-mobile ever makes the news it's because of their terrible management practices. Or for missing the boat on Security and data breaches. Or for selling customer data to advertisers. I recommend a copy of "who moved my cheese" and a best of luck.
100% of all people who have ever lived have died. Does this mean we don't draw attention to genocide?
The most exhausting aspect of climate denial is the rehashing of bad faith arguments that have, for all intents and purposes, been refuted hundreds of times.
The windows password is not required for Bitlocker. It doesn't work like macos' filevault.

You can configure a dedicated password for bitlocker, or a pin (can be alphanumeric) in addition to the tpm, but there's no link between that and your windows account once the os is booted.

I think MS' point about the standard bitlocker setup is that people can't just steal the drive and mount it in their own PC, they need your specific PC. And also, that windows is secure enough that if you have the correct PC with the drive and the OS boots, you can't open the windows session (which by default requires a password). So in this context, bitlocker adds some security while being "transparent".
Evidently Cochrane – Health Evidence
"maintainable" code is disposable. Modern web stacks are built on the idea that you can delete a file and re-implement its interface with a different service behind it later on. Instead of writing code which will be easy to modify, write a good interface which solves your problems in a way that's easy to reason about, and feel free to write garbage implementations that will get "refactored" (thrown away) every year or so
It’s still a useful thought exercise in the context of ‘the perfect’ being the enemy of improving the death rate.
Thanks for that clarification. Wasn't obvious for everybody at first read.
Big companies lay people off all the time. Verizon and AT&T have both laid people off this year or plan to.
I have no sense of how common these sorts of investigations are so I have no idea if it is political, but fwiw I feel like I see US Citizen for ITAR requirements not infrequently. I am surprised this could not be settled with a small payment and a fix to their job listings.
Please. We live on a planet that has been bombarded by space rocks for billions of years and that's home to all sorts of viruses and bacteria that have been evolving to kill us for as long as we've been around.

If Mars were covered in gray goo we would have noticed by now.
Maybe not, but let's do the science to rule that out?
First off, learning Haskell's like trying to decipher an alien language. If you're used to plain ol' if-else loops and straightforward variable assignments, prepare to have your brain twisted into knots. Haskell's got monads, and no, they're not some new type of space monster – they're these weird abstract things that'll leave you scratching your head and questioning your life choices.

Now, I know we all love libraries that make our lives easier. But with Haskell, you might find yourself on a treasure hunt for a library that actually does what you need. The Haskell library scene's like a half-empty thrift store – you gotta sift through a bunch of outdated, half-baked options before you stumble on something that kinda works. And don't get me started on documentation – it's like reading hieroglyphics half the time.

Oh, and performance? Sure, Haskell's got that reputation for being all slick and optimized. But in the real world, you might end up scratching your noggin over why your code's chugging along slower than a snail on a summer day. Lazy evaluation sounds all fine and dandy until your app's gobbling up more memory than it should and moving slower than molasses in January.

Let's talk job prospects, shall we? Unless you're hoping to work on some super niche project for a company that's all in on Haskell, you're gonna have a tougher time finding a gig than a polar bear in the Sahara. It's like showing up to a party where everyone's talking about the latest celebrity gossip, and you're there with your collection of 19th-century poetry – cool, but outta touch.

And let's not forget debugging. Imagine trying to find a needle in a haystack, except the needle's your bug and the haystack is a jumbled mess of functional hieroglyphs. Good luck trying ^^

Every business chooses which customer it is trying to fit and which customer not to fit.

> For SpaceX to internally segment ITAR from non-ITAR is a huge bureaucratic overhead for them which leads to a possibility of mistakes.

They decided to become an aerospace engineering firm in the US. ITAR security is part of the cost of doing business.

If the typical e.g. janitor or cafeteria worker at SpaceX has access to ITAR, as SpaceX seem to have alleged before they got caught, then their ITAR security is pure theater.
Glad this feature works for you.

What works for me, if I need to pay something: I use my credit card (contactless under 50, over I need to type a code) or some bills which both are in my physical wallet (protected against rfid, it just looks as a normal wallet).

I don't see any benefits adding third parties to the mix apart the fashion of "Oh yeah I can pay with my tracker watch".

I just see that as really pathetic.
Of course you understand I mean in the country with a space program benefitting from that work. In which case, it's at least true in North America, UK, EU, India, Russia, Japan, China, Australia. Not sure if any others have a space program.

Coincidentally, these countries also have restrictions on foreign nationals and entities contributing to the program.

Can you think of a nation that has a space program where it is not?
There is still huge growth potential beyond cell phones for cellular data connections to wearable devices and IoT. But the carriers seem to be fumbling this opportunity by not partnering effectively with device vendors or offering service plans which make sense for that use case.
Ads are human reviewed. Either you’re exceptionally unlucky with reviewers or there’s more to the story here.
And this happens. When I was in grad school I knew a Lithuanian refugee. He was a fellow student - came when he was younger (high school?), but still on a refugee status by the time he entered grad school. And at the time he was fighting off being sent back to Lithuania because apparently conditions had improved back there.

The real problem was that his parents and most of his family had obtained the green card by that point, and for whatever reason there were delays in processing him. So only he would be forced to return.
As always, correlation / causation might be complicated here. I.e. maybe the sort of conditions that make you more likely to die of a heart attack also wind up reducing your ability / motivation to exercise.

Well yes but more likely it's Democrats acting on behalf of other companies who want to hamstring SpaceX by burying them under frivolous and vague lawsuits.

And, pragmatically, this is how you want to do it. Get your favors in early enough in the election cycle that no one remembers when the actual election rolls around. Comply, but not enough to actually succeed.
>Random photos without context will just lose their value as gossip evidence. Who cares.

You answered your own question. If generative AI means that no one trusts any evidence and calls everything fake, that's a huge societal problem. We've already seen a certain subset of the population claiming that since 2016 with disastrous results (how do you convince someone who dismisses all evidence out of hand?)
Mass extinction events are generally not good for the animals which happen to exist during them. As one such animal, I would prefer if we tried to limit the damage.

Is there somewhere docs to show you how to run this on your local machine and can you make it port it a script between languages? Gpt4 can do that pretty well but its context is too small for advanced purposes.
For the uninformed...

Before posting any opinion on this, please go learn about ITAR.

Companies like SpaceX exist under this umbrella. I have worked under ITAR rules for many years. I've had to go fix ITAR violation disasters at some of these companies. If you have never sat in a conference room with a bunch of lawyers to discuss degrees of exposure and how to repair the damage done by unqualified employees, you likely don't have enough context to voice a valid opinion about any of this.

My take: This is a stunt to squeeze Musk where it hurts. Politics at its worst.
Isn’t that a differ issue? You said they “allow” people to use gutter oil but it seems that is false. It’s illegal but they don’t have perfect enforcement against crime.

Seems this was immediately heavily downvoted (I'm not OP). Curious to see what arguments against this stance are.
I once said that "just as there's no founder like Elon, there's no Java expert like Andrew (project author)"

Andrew's Java skills are at a different level. I only briefly met him once, but he used to be a core contributor to Oracle's Java magazine. 80% of the "Unix greybeard" type advanced Java knowledge I have is due to his articles.

Happy to see he's still building. Thanks Andrew!
I keep hearing this argument which makes no sense. I guess it comes from Tesla marketing because they keep repeating that and it rubs off?

On technical level two sensors are clearly better than one even if you just pick one in case of disagreement, but as others have said Kalman filters and other more advanced techniques exist. There is a reason airplanes or spacecraft have multiple redundant sensors like this for decades.

The argument only makes sense if you want to save money, but then say you are being cheap up front.

Cells (as in the bit that makes it a contained volume) are both a thing that forms spontaneously without biology, and very useful for isolating one blob of chemistry from others right next to it.

There is however life on earth with huge cells and multiple nucleuses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmodium_(life_cycle)

But also, the Viking test was more general than "cells", it would have ben positive with anything that could, to simplify, eat the food it was given.
There's still a good amount of growth. Over the past 5 quarters, T-Mobile has added 1.3M to 1.8M postpaid customers each quarter (8M customers total, an average of 1.6M per quarter). Even if you're just looking at postpaid phone customers, it's 500k-900k per quarter (3.8M customers total, an average of 760k per quarter).

AT&T has added 2M postpaid phone subscribers over the past year, an average of 500k per quarter.

Over the past year, Verizon has been basically flat adding 106k postpaid phone customers, an average of 27k per quarter. Verizon is flat, but the other two are getting 5M new postpaid phone customers a year.
At least TME-MK and its AMD equivalent are supposed to address in memory key stealing/memory bus snooping (even if it's still unclear to me how the key are generated/stored). There is still decapping and probing the CPU itself but given the size of features is that even remotely doable?

Mongo, one of the largest NoSQL databases, uses a thread on the server per connection, and is known for using around 1mb per one of those connections.
The amazing thing is that for 5g, T-mobile has, by far, the best network. And that's not just the radio network but the interior as well. Friends with t-mobile report the problems above regularly.

AT&T has an absolutely terrible network - janky glued together hell - but I've never once had an issue in over 20 years.
> Why should we accept a smartphone-dependent society

You don't have to. The Amish haven't. I have no problem with them making that choice either.
This seems politically motivated, rather than something in the pursuit of justice. If it was about justice, step one would be to send an official legal document, giving SpaceX authority to hire non US citizens.
Funny how the crypto people always think they found a legal loophole. "Akcshually the contracts...." They're like the sovereign citizens of tech.
And that leads to another good point: it's easier to predict which sensor is trustworthy if you have more than one type. Is it dark? Trust the lidar more. Raining? Trust the radar more. There is at least a rudimentary radar to sanity-check the optical sensors, right?

I can almost see the objection that multiple cameras are as good as one camera+lidar, but I think it's a mistake to trust any system that can't check itself for consistency across multiple bands. It doesn't take a very good radar to keep you from ramming a fire truck. In fact, whatever runs the cruise control's distance sensor should have been enough to prevent a bunch of the Tesla oopsies reported in the press. When tackling one of the hardest engineering problems faced by humankind, it seems stupid not to take advantage of all the data you can get.
I don't deny climate change. Quite the opposite. I just don't believe there's anything we can actually do about it. Seems a lot of the climate fanatics also agree with me, because we've passed many of their so-called "points of no return" and failed to achieve anything that would have averted them.

Seems to me that we should be trying to make people's lives easier in the meantime, rather than making them miserable and poor with bonkers legislation, regulation and taxes.
Well, you'd probably get pretty good perf with graalvm truffle, but certainly the building blocks of golang shouldn't be that problematic to implement in java given that the go language model is more straight-forward IMHO. I wouldn't assume it'd beat pure golang compilation but who knows.
Is this because their hi-speed internet service sales aren't there even though the intro price is super cheap?

Law exists to benefit humans.

Either directly (outlawing murder) or indirectly (providing for roads and bridges). And well (libraries) or poorly (modern copyright law).

But fundamentally, law benefits people.

Most modern economic perversions are a consequence of taking laws which benefit people (e.g. free speech) and overzealously applying them to non-people entities (e.g. corporations).

So "why [is it] ok for [a] human to learn from a prior art, but not for a LLM"?

Because a human has fundamental output limitations (parallel capacity, time, lifespan) and a machine does not.

Existing laws aren't the way they are because they encode universal truths -- they're instead the consensus reached between multiple competing interests and intrinsically rooted in the possible bounds of current reality.

"This is a fair copyright system" isn't constant with respect to varying supply and demand. It's linked directly to bounds on those quantities.

E.g. music distribution rights, when suddenly home network bandwidth increased enough to transfer large quantities of music files

Or, to put it another shorter way, the current system and source-blind model output fucks over artists.

And artists are humans. And LLMs are not.

There are a lot of arguments about why, even non-secret data connections need encryption. The first and most obvious is that not doing so immediately puts a target on the encrypted data.

Flash was both propietary and with zero accesibility. It deserved to die.
With some insider knowledge, I can definitely say that their “coverage” maps, at least in the western US, are complete and utter bullshit. They don’t actually measure coverage for those maps, they just use signal propagation models like longley-rice, with wildly optimistic parameters and extremely low resolution terrain data and almost no built environment data. Now there are people shitting their pants due to a drive-test requirement (literally driving around and measuring signal strength) of a rural data speed commitment that came from the sprint merger. They’ve been telling people for years that there is coverage where there is literally nothing.
I'm not saying I agree with his hypothesis, but I admire its craziness. He's well aware that it's out there, and he makes some pretty compelling points... doing a pretty thorough analysis of the earliest available literature. For instance in the Illiad, there are essentially no direct references to thoughts or even feeling. He lists the many points where people literally say they're talking to god all throughout ancient literature. They say it in a way that doesn't sound like a metaphor at all. The rulers say something like "<insert god's name> told me to gather 1000lbs of barley and feed him 10 lbs and take him for a procession"... so that is their edict.

I don't think he's suggesting they were stupid. I think what he's suggesting is much more a reflection on the power of metaphor and the sort of fragility of the psyche more than anything. And he addresses something that I've never seen anyone else address. If previous civilizations were so similar psychologically, why don't we see more literature before 2000 bc that contains metaphor. Why doesn't the earliest writing contain self-reflection?

In fact if you see all these ancient people worshipping gods, building gigantic monuments to them, sacrificing humans (many of whom happily participated)... then it seems like you must assume they're stupid on some level to believe they were psychologically the same as us but they just lacked the critical thinking to put their labor to better use. And that they were just lying when they said they were talking to gods, depicting it on friezes, etc.

Hellen Keller said she really did not feel conscious until after she learned language. She had no concept of self. I could never make sense of that either. It seemed like it must be a fluke, like she was exaggerating it to play into people's expectations. But her description sounds 100% sincere.

As for you being 4 years old and being able to differentiate yourself and the thoughts in your head. That's years after you learned "I" and "you".. Years after you learned to remember.

Anyway, when I first started reading the book, it was with extreme skepticism... kind of hate-reading. The book was a gift, and I read it because I liked Westworld, the HBO show which heavily references it. But I have to say, as someone who has been staunchly anti-humanist.. who has advocated for the same basic thought you're advocating for... studying history through the lens of an average person who is just like us... believing that the average people didn't really believe the religious stuff and it was just forced on them by the elites.. this book made me question those deeply held assumptions. I'm still not sold, but I think it needs to not be dismissed offhand without a legitimate evidence-based criticism.
I find discourse difficult and confusing to use. Everything seems mixed up together, so it’s never clear what the topic is supposed to be, and scrolling is a nightmare. I actually kinda like pagination as it means I can know where a post basically is even if I didn’t save it, with discourse, if I don’t glance at the date and “write” it to memory there is no way to easily find an old reply without just continually scrolling and hoping I don’t miss it.

I think you're misunderstanding sensor fusion. Any sensor fusion worth its salt functions closer to a weighted average, but instead of linear combination, you're relying on the error model and overall system model to figure out the actual state from the variety of sensors
