My theory:

Life is difficult enough that there are many psychological defenses in place - both at the individual and societal level - to keep us focused on our survival and not devote too many mental resources to considering underlying questions of motivation, purpose, or fairness.

Some people are in particular circumstances, or perhaps have certain personalities, such that those defense mechanisms aren't as strong, and once they step off the pure survival path, they experience a recognition of cold reality which can't be understood from the those who've never strayed from the survival path.

It's rational to reach many of the conclusions which mental ill people do. Not all, by any means. But I believe in some aspects of depressive realism, and I think many people who take their own lives are making a reasoned decision, as sad as that fact may be.
That's probably not even enough money to buy the land or do the environmental reports to produce a similar amount of solar
Yep, just tested this and disabling suspend works. I'm on KDE btw, disabled it via the GUI.
I wouldn't have had to say anything if the above poster disclosed his commercial interest in promoting that particular skewed viewpoint.
To clarify here, "generated" and "autogenerated" were bad choices of words. They're translations created by humans and is dependent on the strings in code.

I was thinking the same thing and wondering what the use case may be for doing this via radio - thanks for clearing it up! But once you use unencrypted radio, you open it up for remote exploitation - the same thing that can be sent from close up can also be sent from further away with more powerful equipment. That's probably why the systems I was aware of until now use magnets on the track (this can of course only be used to make sure trains stop at a signal, or respect the speed limit, not for arbitrarily stopping them).
And how much do the batteries cost to store all that power?
Great idea! Now to just find somewhere to put a billion dollars worth of solar PV in California, preferably somewhere where it doesn't ever get dark so the power will stay on at night.
Why develop for OS/2?

Unless you actually bought an IBM machine, it probably didn't have OS/2 installed. So you would need to actually buy OS/2, (and also a RAM upgrade, with OS/2 needing more than Windows 3.x), and if you wanted to run (16bit) Windows Apps, I believe you needed to buy the more expensive "Blue Spine" version.
Just FYI: if you’re a fan of uBlock Origin and can’t stand mobile ads, I highly recommend Kagi’s Orion browser. It’s great on iOS and overall better than safari + it has chrome and Firefox extension support.

We can get 400v 3phase inverter welders here.

Yes, we have it so we use it - for sure.

The pool pump on 3 phases seems slightly more efficient when I compared them last time. The pool is also being fitted with a heat pump inverter, which doesn’t need 3 phase.
Separately we also found that git lfs is not very optimised for large repositories, notably its locking feature which list every file tracked by git for every checkout and commit command.

Watch Caprica (Battlestar Galactica prequel)
"Normalisation of Deviance" is a concept that will change the way you look at the world once you learn to recognise it. It's made famous by Richard Feynman's report about the Challenger disaster, where he said that NASA management had started accepting recurring mission-critical failures as normal issues and ignored them.

My favourite one is: Pick a server or a piece of enterprise software and go take a look at its logs. If it's doing anything interesting at all, it'll be full of errors. There's a decent chance that those errors are being ignored by everyone responsible for the system, because they're "the usual errors".

I've seen this go as far as cluster nodes crashing multiple times per day and rebooting over and over, causing mass fail-over events of services. That was written up as "the system is usually this slow", in the sense of "there is nothing we can do about it."

It's not slow! It's broken!

I was in the I15 recently and drove past those huge solar generating tower things. Seems like an enormous amount of nice sunny space out there close to HV lines.

As for night time, sure, spend half the $1.1 billion on solar panels and the other half on batteries.

Yes, I think I accidentally threw the only drive (whoops) that had a lot of my childhood stuff away, in a binge of cleaning.

I have recently realized there may be a couple legacy drives that might not have been wiped that might have it. I don't have much hope overall but I've been meaning to dig them out and check.

this type of thing is one of the undersung benefits vs a sea of ad-hoc hard drives. yes, a central server/NAS (even just 2 disks) is expensive but it's also a central point you can rely on and centralize your backups.

you can't let it become a pile either way, of course. but it's much much easier to work on manual dedup with everything on a single big zfs volume so you can compare directories and try to fold everything in sensibly. and snapshots let you roll this back if desired, or clone and copy files back out of history.

I seem to recall there was an algorithm called "downward flooding" or similar that was designed to help identify this directory-tree similarity problem. But I can't quite locate it.
Well, test configurations on Twitter are one thing. Test configurations on the public roadways make everyone around the vehicle an unwilling participant in that testing configuration.

Having a testing configuration doesn’t strike me as a problem, but it seems like it would be very important that the testing configuration be managed very carefully, and only applied to the appropriate vehicles that are intended to be operated under testing conditions.
I think history shows it pays to be friends with the party in power. As for the IRS it is complicated by the fact that the branches of government can be split along party lines. This should be considered a feature as the branches are intended to check the power of each other.
Per the Llama 2 license, companies with "greater than 700 million monthly active users in the preceding calendar month" must get approval and permission from Meta to use it.

For OpenAI - that is very interesting though. The 700M cap means the big FAANG+ companies that Meta competes with - Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, even Microsoft - can't use Llama 2.

But OpenAI has less than 700 million users? So theoretically, if Llama was better than GPT models, OpenAI could replace their GPT engine with Llama :)
So he’s arguing that with a certainty of 9.9999% they’re still mistaken? Anyone want to help the math on that?
Ever since early in the pandemic, i've pointed friends who were worried about certain things- in the direction of Jitsi so they coudl safely discuss options without a time limit(which Zoom and Meet implemented) with others.

Think conversations like discussion of abortion, and other things where the service in certain locations needed to be private to the point subpoenas wouldn't be a threat. This is also why they've been waiting for insertable streams to be fully implemented in Firefox- those tickets were pushed most heavily because of Jitsi's videocalling.

This was driven by when they implemented an end to end encryption option- and being open source , something people could feel safer about than trusting Meet's (the former Duo)'s one on one calls.

The best part is this was something you could bring up on any computer. Signal , you need to own the device- Jitsi was more free than Signal in some ways- and of course it helps not being tied to a identifier(Signal has not yet implemented removing phone numbers as an identifier)

-Does this mean there's no free, end to end encrypted anonymous alternative that would be useful for those who are not technically inclined- but worry about Subpoenas, and need end to end encryption? That's as accessible(Jitsi was from a simple web interface no matter your device, alternatives like Jami and Meet aren't - and the account thing hurts)

Because trusting a Github, Google ,or Facebook login to not be vulnerable to subpoenas - is a nonstarter. ( I am aware of the efforts of Google, Facebook, etc to mass E2EE communications from test messages to all messenger messages - I don't think this is immune to legal/coercive efforts such as you might see in the UK/Australia, and also think the anonymity layer is going to be the crucial for some people.
...I'm aware ease of use plays a role in abuse- but i'll point out bad actors(who are technically capable at least a little apparently) have the resources to still abuse Jitsi(if someone had an axe to grind against Jitsi) regardless of these additions- [example:Google accounts can be still mass created anonymously via Android phones/burner phones /etc]

I dislike this, having been banging my head against the wall given my efforts over the past few years to teach end to end encrypted options and their usage to those who need them most, for the mentioned reasons.

For now I will resort to bugging people to switch to other instances at https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/community/community-in... - but we badly need more options just as accessible- what other E2EE anonymous web-browser accessible tool is as available to the masses, that they can be convinced to use?
Can't upvote this enough.

> It should also be stated that although this licensing is not "good enough", it is still better than "Open"AI, DeepMind, and many others that gladly just sit on all but a miniscule amount of the code, data, and models they produce.

This is true, but Google Brain has historically been pretty good too.

False Dichotomy. There were no plans of Ukraine joining NATO before the war. Even if there were diplomatic avenues would have been available to Russia.
There was a brief period of schools teaching Java compiling down to CLI programs in Unix (beans?). Perl was popular on the semiconductor world replacing tcl for gluing together complex manufacturing flows. Ruby was heading to be a replacement for Perl with bidirectional file handles and similar syntax. Shell scrips and Perl are still on use there. Python never made inroads because it brought nothing new and was less suited to file munging than Perl. Perl still has superior text manipulation semantics compared to python.
There's also kicking off the ground during the backswing. Maybe that's against these olympic rules though ;)
> The amount of complexity that Rust adds is not worth in most scenarios in my opinion. I can think of Rust as something for OS with critical safety or so.

It's difficult to have this discussion in any sane way when Rust (or C) comes up. I tried Rust, but I have projects to deliver on strict timelines and I have yet to find a client who is prepared to pay me for the (what I found to be) very large onramp time to gain deep Rust expertise.[1]

The argument of "just get gud" whenever you point out the deep learning curve of Rust is pointless; I have noticed that Rust experts only come when your employer is rich enough to pay the team to not deliver while they learn it: Basically only FAANGs and startups flush with VC money.

[1] When I have a small project I reach for C. When I need something bigger for which C is not suitable, I don't reach for C++, or Rust, I rather take the tiny performance hit and move to Go. On extremely large projects, where I work with others, C# and Java seem to hit the sweet spot.[2]

[2] Although, C# and Java are also getting a bit too complicated for my tastes too. Seems to me that every language follows C++ evolution towards complexity, because the people stewarding the language are experts in that language and/or in programming language theory.[3] They are comfortable with the changes they propose because they have no need to upskill (they are already at that skill level).

[3] I propose that a language designed by your average corporate developer who has 15 years of experience but no CS degree will have much higher adoption than languages designed by PL purists.

> Every flakey test is a production failure that really happens to some users sometimes

No. Tests can be flakey when the code they're testing is not. Every flakey test is not a customer problem.

Training developers to ignore flakey tests also trains them to ignore real failures. Potentially many of them. Any of those might be real customer problems.
The extreme right is growing because the left is failing miserably in making a case for the public to vote for them.

Why do animated characters wear gloves?

The reason why animated characters often wear gloves can be traced back to the early days of hand-drawn animation. The main theory is that gloves saved time for animators. Drawing rounded edges and simple shapes like circles and spaghetti-like arms was much faster than adding realistic details like elbows and knees. Since hands posed a problem in terms of visibility on fuzzy black-and-white film, gloves provided a clear contrast against the characters' bodies. Additionally, gloves brought non-human characters to life and made their gestures stand out, adding to their expressive appeal. However, there is another influence behind the tradition of animated characters wearing gloves that is rooted in vaudeville and blackface minstrelsy. Early cartoon characters were portrayed as mischievous and rebellious but good-natured, much like the characters in minstrel shows. Performers in early animation often performed on vaudeville stages, where they wore loose clothes, had painted faces, and wore white gloves. Although vaudeville declined in the 1930s, gloves remained as a part of the cartoon style that was expected by viewers. Overall, the tradition of animated characters wearing gloves can be attributed to practical reasons like saving time and providing contrast, as well as cultural influences from early stage performances and vaudeville shows.
As a neutral observer, my read on this is that they are not trolling or misreading. Their comments seem relevant and accurate.

> I didn't make any claims about their domain expertise being cross-domain

Maybe you have a different understanding of "cross domain," but they represented what you said fairly.

> Perhaps the reason they could stretch their domain expertise so far was precisely because they kept their mind open.

A nuclear plant near me is currently undergoing "renovations" to extend the life of the plant.

I know nothing of the california plant, but I suspect its in a similar situation.

If so, the 1.1 billion is not running costs, but capital spent to renew parts of the plant, replace some parts and so on. The plants of the 70s were typically built with a projected 50 year life span, so extending it another 50% is not cheap, although cheaper than building a new one.

Your point about solar is well made. But solar is not 27x7 so its not comparing an equivalent thing. Solar and wind are enormously useful, and I'm a fan, but they're not enough by themselves, and won't be until we figure out how to store gw of power.

Running a nuclear plant in an earthquake zone is not ideal, but its hard to see any better alternatives at the moment.

>Python doesn't entirely suck as a general-purpose language.

I always get caught off guard by comments like these. In my mind Python doesn't at all suck as a general purpose language. Only real argument is execution speed, but most people aren't actually writing code where Python's "slowness" matters and if you actually need that speed you can write that part in C and still use it from your Python application.
You can still selfhost right? Is the authentication required if self hosted?

Would like to see a quote for that from NYT. While there were hopes for the offensive I do not remember anybody being sure about victory.
The idea that individual source snippets at this scale diminish in aggregation, is undercut by the fact that OpenAI and MSFT are both selling enterprise-flavoured versions of GPT, and the one thing they promise is that enterprise data will not be used to further train GPT.

That is a fear for companies because the individual source snippets and the knowledge "learned" from them is seen as a competitive advantage of which the sources are an integral part - and I think this is a fair point from their side. However then the exact same argument should apply in favour of paying the artists, writers, coders etc whose work has been used to train these models.

So it sounds like they are trying to have their cake and eat it too.
what is missing from everything visible so far is this is people trying to force HE to carry traffic for kiwifarms when they don't want to.

Enough power on hours on those Atoms = some clock buffer dies and now your device no longer boots.
"Standardized". The allowable voltage for power is normally something like 6%. When they switched from the mis-mash of 220 and 240V to 230V, they specified the allowable voltage range was wide enough to encompass both of those, including the allowable voltage range for 240V. So largely it was just "Everything is 230V now, and try to make sure new stuff is actually 230V".
Nice, look forward to hearing from you!
>If so, the 1.1 billion is not running costs, but capital spent to renew parts of the plant, replace some parts and so on

No, most of you seem to be comfortable ignoring when things turn into safety hazards for people who are not you. That includes Nazis for a sliding scale of people who are not part of majority culture (trying really hard to not say white men adjacent for your sensibilities).

The luxury of liberal principles - facing the threat of the rise of fascism - really can only be exercised by those least affected by such a rise.
