I suspect mainly the concern is that steel production is a strategic resource. The intention is to maintain a domestic capability given how critical steel is to the modern economy.

Exactly. That would be great. But I think a large portion of the target audience of the home box would rather set this up themselves.

Or not. I would much rather have something commercial (built on open source) like this so I can be more at ease that my data is safe, compared to doing everything myself.
37 Signals is living proof nobody needs a public cloud.

And from my own experience, basically what all cloud providers are relying on is ops being lazy.

Set up some decent hardware in a good data center, set up a good platform on top of it, automate the hell out of it and with all current open source software you can run everything by yourself.

At least, that's something I am currently actively researching because our cloud bills are going through the proverbial roof and I rather would spend that money on our own stuff, than Jeff's next house.
I don't know. I have used many Macbooks, and I really don't like it.
It especially screwed over pre-siren Roshans (which don't seem to be much of a thing anymore). But yeah, there's still a lot the sounds can give away, like a Roshan play, a sneaky smoke, enemy tormentor attempts, etc.
This is really cool! But I guess it’s biggest drawback is being unable to deal with case law?
I’ve used Litmaps[0] to discover new papers in a field. They have an interesting “discover” mode where you input papers you consider to be “relevant” and they try to suggest other papers you’d think are relevant.

If you subscribe to their service, they’ll even notify you when new papers come out that you’d consider relevant.

> The topic of Starlink’s crucial role in Ukraine was discussed in March at a SASC military space hearing, where Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) criticized SpaceX for the “discontinuation of full services at such a critical time for Ukraine’s self defense.”

> The debate has been reignited with the recent release of a new Musk biography by Walter Isaacson who recounted how SpaceX’s boss thwarted Ukrainian forces by shutting off Starlink’s satellite network over Crimea — a territory occupied by Russia that Ukraine was fighting to reclaim.

> SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell in February said Ukraine used Starlink services for applications that SpaceX did not support. “It was never intended to be weaponized, but the Ukrainians have leveraged it in ways that were unintentional and not part of any agreement,” she said.

Everybody overlooks what Shotwell says. It matters:

> Just an hour before Russian troops invaded Ukraine, Russian government hackers targeted the American satellite company Viasat, officials from the US, EU, and UK said today. [...] The attack, on February 24, launched destructive “wiper” malware called AcidRain against Viasat modems and routers, quickly erasing all the data on the system. The machines then rebooted and were permanently disabled. Thousands of terminals were effectively destroyed in this way.

Russia had already shown what it would do to ISPs facilitating military ops in the area.

Definitely yes.

However, experiments, proof of concept, shy little prototypes always start on a sheet of paper and then on localhost. Before going somewhere else.

In 20 years, the only satisfying places for work, in design, software dev and engineering, were where we could run internal experiments from localhost or even from a shared, always on system on which we could deploy and share our own internal pages and blogs.

Because of the fragile, imperfect, shared, impermanent nature of that infrastructure (co-owned within the product team), expectations and care, both in building and in critique, had a profound impact on the teams.

My dude I’m literally Indian. There were lots of Indians at my cow college!
Want to start by saying I do really empathize with this person. But I can't help but shake my head a little when I read way too unnecessarily long missives like this (I admit, I only got a couple of paragraphs in before I bailed) and think "this person just doesn't get it."

Some points:

1. First, to start, I have a ton of empathy for this person being in an extremely challenging field. He essentially did internal communications for JP Morgan for the last 10 years of their career or so. Any sort of "content creation" role that doesn't have a direct tie to revenue is going to be under the knife at most companies these days. These roles are also the ones that are most in jeopardy due to AI/ChatGPT. There was a recent Washington Post article where it highlighted some copywriters who basically lost their jobs to ChatGPT. It's not "coming", it's already here.

2. Small not-so-secret: if you are beyond the age of 30 or so, and you are a relatively high level professional (this person listed VP on his resume), you should be worried if you don't think you'd be able to get your next job through your professional network. That is, most jobs at this level may put out a job req on Indeed (often for legal reasons), but it's likely to be filled by a referral. Even if it's not a referral, it's very likely that the applicant knows someone through their network (even if a degree or two away) that can serve as a better reference.

Whenever I see missives like this where the author is semi-baffled their "Send my resume to 1000 open positions" approach didn't work, I'm not surprised.
You're desirable. Congrats. (Of course you don't recognize it.) Most people are most people/average trying to eke out a living .
I use Plain TeX (I have tried to use LaTeX once and I found Plain TeX easier to work with and get right how I intended). I have written macros to do what I wanted, including headings, automatic table of contents, cross-references, and also black bars on the edge of the page to indicate chapters and sections so that they can easily be found by the edge of the book.

Since \write in a page is only valid if the page is shipped out, and the references of pages will need to be known before they are printed, so instead I used insertions for this, and the insertion contains altnerating marks and penalties, which are then using \vsplit in the output routine to extract the marks and execute them without shipping out the page during the first pass.

Another use of insertions is tables that span multiple pages, that it may automatically add "(continued on next page)" and repeat the table headings on the top of the next page.

And, it is also helpful to include mathematical equations in the text; in my opinion that is one of the problems with many other RPG systems that doesn't have enough mathematical equations.

Will Cyber Security Be Replaced by AI?
> A press release from Qualcomm that came a few months before Apple actually got it in people's hands

This press release was for a new Tensorflow release for devices that had been shipping for many months before that. It was in people's hands long before Apple even announced anything similar.

> If not that's on the Gboard team at Google for not supporting neural on iOS and Apple hardware that came far, far sooner.

Once again, Apple's hardware came later than Qualcomm's hardware. Pixel phones come with a lot of features that could be implemented on iOS, but why should Google go through the work of porting it only to promote a competitor's inferior platform? For example, Google Maps with navigation shipped years earlier on Android. Grammar check with a transformer model is now on all Android devices in Gboard (for more than a year and a half) and still no iOS devices.
>Your link only refers to religious sensibilities

Yes because that's the topic and "US is pretty much the only country where this stuff is unlikely to happen" is simply wrong, about the rest of your comment you could be right or wrong but I honestly don't really care.
Fair point.

FWIW from the same gov source
"The blast furnace route forms the majority of UK and global steel production. In
2018, 82% of UK steel (5.9 million tonnes) was produced using the blast furnace
route at Tata Steel’s Port Talbot site and British Steel’s Scunthorpe site. The
Government estimated that 95% of iron and steel industry emissions (and
around 15% of total industrial emissions) come from the Scunthorpe and Port
Talbot blast furnace sites."

It does not differentiate between the two, though.
I loved backpacking around India and Nepal when a bit younger, spent 6 months there. Life-changing experience. But I was so careless, ate at cheapest dhabas with locals, just disinfected hands with now-ubiquitous gel sanitizers. Even brought back some ayurvedic shampoos and other products.

I would love to show this experience to my kids when they will be a bit older, but its hard to ignore overall safety threats (ie food, mosquito-borne diseases, public transport, floods and overall climate change issues during monsoon, as Lybia showed recently it seems like a distant problem till its not, if infrastructure is not consistently high quality). No point going there and be there in western bubble of luxury or just sip mojitos in Goa.
Some years ago I was moving to a different state and looking for a job. I ended up doing interviews at six different companies. Five of those came from direct personal connections (mostly via coworkers) and one came from generic search / cold application. After the interviews, I got five offers. The only place that didn't give me an offer was the one from the generic search. It also paid significantly less than the others and simply didn't seem as interesting. My takeaway is that cultivating a network of people who you've worked with and enjoy is invaluable for increasing your options when you come to new decision points in your career.

thats surprising, its such a ubiquitous word in multiplayer games. i think i first heard it used back in the early 2000s in wc3 or wow.
I agree that what you said is more reasonable but most jobs are not for technical people. Even somewhat technical graphics designers might go over the top and craft a visually appealing resume and use a picture format.

Why blame anyone for this? Just use OCR where possible. If the application instructions specify a text resume sure. Having a picture resume in a .docx makes little sense but a PDF is both an image and text format. Not to mention a lot of people design their resume or have someone else make it and print it for them and scan it when applying for jobs as an image pdf.

Shit happens. Tech is supposed to make life easier not harder, despite of humans' failures not because humans arr cooperative enough right?
I live my life but then I wake up realizing I have accomplished nothing in my life and that I’m inherently inferior and won’t have any of the experiences these elite school types take for granted.

Anyone with rational concerns about transportation costs for materiel should be advocating to dismantle and depopulate Denver.

Can't be done without centralization at which point who decides which centralized authority is the correct one and which one is on the side of disinformation? What the internet really needs is smarter users, or maybe just a higher barrier to entry like in the 1990s and early 2000s.

I haven't really used or heard of the others but Spring was already quite good and you really didn't need to think about threads very much. This might help some benchmarks but, again, who is pining for "Spring but with more threads?"

I just don't buy it. This is the classic non-programmer's view of programming productivity. It is really easy to dash off hundreds of lines a day. Doing so feels great, but is in fact massively counterproductive. The hard work of software development benefits from deep thought, not shallow. Ten lines of well-tested, peer-reviewed code are more valuable than ten thousand lines of crud. Any time a programmer complains something will slow down their work, that's a point in its favor.

"AI"-based static analysis tools might be valuable. If I ever see "AI"-based code generation on a project I run before I get stuck cleaning up the mess.
time_t has historically been a typedef to a 32-bit signed integer, so the signedness is baked into a lot of legacy software still running today.

LinkedIn is public info. Anyone who posts publicly viewable info on the Internet has accepted the fact that it will circulate beyond their intended audience. If you are so against "scraping" or whatever arbitrary definition you came up with, don't post here either.

And how do you know these people didn't consent to having their info aggregated on that site? It's an additional way of outreach to employers who are most likely to be sensible if they are looking at that site. The vast majority of layoffs over this past year and half have nothing to do with employees' personal performance. It's not that embarrassing to share.

>Like if someone scraped images of their friends from Facebook and posted it to a different site with some commentary

This already happens and has happened for as long as FB's existence as a major website. In fact, a major web page indexing platform whose brand name starts with a G and ends with an E "scrapes" pictures from FB all the time. Why don't you take the issue to them?

> I really don’t think this is true. The programs and web sites we interact with nowadays are far more complex than they used to be, so building something feels far less approachable.

I mean, sure, you can't build your own Amazon or Facebook in an afternoon. But that is not the sole domain of programming.

Just like building a model RC airplane for your own enjoyment involves a lot of similar principles to designing a Boeing 767, but one is magnitudes more complex to pull off. But also, few individuals find themselves wanting a Boeing 767, and instead want a model RC airplane.
Apocalypse proof? We need something like an IPX scale. Maybe this is like AP5: able to withstand small-arms fire, molotov cocktails and, I dunno, zombie mandibles? But not cruise missiles, direct artillery fire, or giant transforming robots.

Making something "nuclear hardened" is evidently not as high a bar as one might suppose. Setting aside that I don't know of any actual standards it appears that what's required is an ability to withstand a certain overpressure and provide some amount of radiation shielding. A windowless, reinforced concrete building would do pretty nicely without even trying for extra credit. I guess the idea being that nuclear-proof is impossible for normal, baryonic matter: a near enough blast from a big enough bomb will vaporize anything.

I've never understood the privacy boner. Sure, people can abuse information - can exploit or punish based on it.

But there are also so many positive uses of information. Research, understanding, a fuller picture of the world, helping people.

The need for privacy feels antisocial and backwards to me. We're not living in a totaliarian state where ppl get killed for tweeting the wrong thing, so let's not act like it. Part of maturing is accepting others for the good + bad, and you can't do that with a wall up.
Tons of 25mm fans, dual socket, and a bunch of sticks of RAM add up.

I'm not trying to say they sip power, just that not every rack server is going to bankrupt you from power in most parts of CONUS, nor is a 1U guaranteed to be a screaming banshee. Assuming you had three of them, and nothing else, 300W over a month is still only $50/month with $0.25/kWh, which is about as high as I think it gets anywhere. The average is about half that. While not cheap, if you can afford a rack and three servers, you can probably afford the power.

If you're in the UK where it's somewhere around double that, then yeah maybe it's not really worthwhile.

It's also of course worth pointing out that for most employers, the useful skills you can get from a homelab can also be had from EC2s. Even if your job does run a datacenter, it's highly likely that they already have an infra team whose job it is to deal with the hardware.
Whatever it was we can ask ourselves if it is a good idea to send a balloon visible by everyone and extremely vulnerable to spy on the continental USA.

The logical conclusion is that they (the models) will eventually be linked to crypto payments though. This is where Lightning becomes important...

Edit: To clarify, I'm not suggesting linking these Petal "tokens" to any payment system. I'm talking about, in general, calls to clusters of machine learning models, decentralized or not, will likely use crypto payments because it gives you auth and a means of payment.

I do think Petal is a good implementation of using decentralized compute for model use and will likely be valuable long term.
