Yet, the largest issues with networked filesystems is that POSIX forbids canceling file accesses, the lock semantics is really difficult, and cache is hard.

POSIX is absolutely outdated, but this article isn't helpful on understanding why or how.

"...governance singleton that means all nukes are in safe hands"

Why would a single government need nukes at all? Who would they use them against other than their own citizens?

Reasons the idea doesn't catch on may be that there is no clear articulated advantage to doing so. Or to do so would disempower a lot of currently powerful people. Many people don't want or like democracies (think Taliban or Theocracy).

The tyranny of the majority [1] has destroyed many democracies and something the US Constitution is in place to supposedly prevent. One might think that it has gone a little too far since a mere 8 people are powerful enough to jam up the entire US Government. We should likely get our own house in order before selling this thing to the world.

That’s one takeaway from a Krueger study referenced elsewhere in this thread. Namely, elite colleges select for people who will be successful regardless rather than adding anything to their potential.
I do use the YT Premium family for me and my wife. I basically only watch youtube on the TV - so being ads free is really neat - or use it for music on the computer. Since YT premium comes with YT music, I don't need spotify/apple music, so I do think it's a good value in the end.

But I don't have Netflix or Disney+ anymore

What is their "content policy"? One of my standard test prompts for these image generators is: "Can you draw an illustration for a web based collaborative environment for using Jupyter notebooks, Latex, Linux, GPU's for doing data science?" and no matter what variant on this I try, I get back "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I was unable to generate images for your request due to our content policy."

EDIT: "Latex" (pronounced "lay-tech", the document editing software from Knuth) is what violated the policy.

Is it better than DALL-E 3 in Bing? I heard they ruined it by censoring it so much it was mostly unusable.

My real name is David Konerding, so the linkage now is trivial. Again, I've evaluated the risk profile associated with my genome data and concluded that it's effectively non-existent, and will continue to be so.

My data isn't 23andme- it's a whole genome. 23andme's data collection is very limited, and in my experience, fairly optimistic about its predictive ability for health.

> And with that basic idea that strings are just a different view on a bytestream (e.g. every string is a valid bytestream, but not every bytestream is a valid string) most of the painful python2-to-python3 transition could have been avoided.

Can you elaborate?

Much of the pain of the transition was figuring out which strings were bytes and which were Unicode data. The actual spelling of the type names never seemed like a big deal to me.

(I do think Python 3 messed some things up. My current favorite peeve is the fact that iterating bytes yields ints. That causes a lot of type confusions to result in digit gobbledygook instead of a useful exception or static checker error.)

I might have miscommunicated my idea. I certainly think everything that documentary shows happens and agree with everything you say. No dispute there. I just don’t know what percentage it represents.

Maybe my driver is a corporate driver, not a DSP, and has different metrics etc. I don't know.

BTW I really like the term “partner” in delivery service partner. It’s a weasel word that covers up what’s really going on. They are not partnering in the common sense of the word like “my wife is my partner.” (Although on a long road trip she wouldn’t hesitated to make me pee in a bottle rather than stop for my baby bladder. Haha.)
I'm aware of the Carrington event, which is why I mentioned being prepared for 100-year or 1,000-year events. The GP was specifically asking if any governments had plans for "a similar storm today", where the referenced storm is this one found in tree rings, not the Carrington event.

The prompt:

> I am doing a report on cirrus clouds for my science class. I need photorealistic images that show off how wispy they are. I am going to compare them to photos I took of puffy cumulonimbus clouds at my house yesterday.

So the images are used for comparison against the photos that the researcher has already taken.

If they were to straight up base their thesis on AI made images, then I'd agree with you. But in this case it seems to be used as supplements, which seems fine to me, especially when used to highlight the difference between a "real" photo.

> 2. S3 API and POSIX file IO aren't that different. They certainly aren't dealing with radically different concepts. The differences are more to do with the difficulties of supporting the full featureset in a distributed and performant manner.

They are hugely different. S3 does not allow you to overwrite data in the middle of an object, while that's a significant use case for POSIX file APIs. S3 does not give you strongly consistent operations, while that's a significant use for POSIX file APIs.
The US is a case where it's an obvious lack of democracy (2 senators per state, the electoral college) to blame so it's a strange example of democracy not scaling well.

Americans overall poll as very reasonable people, it's just not reflected in their lawmaking.

Note there is a solid 30% who seem to choose the worst possible option in polls but I'd argue that is result of the lack of democracy and they've been trained into that over decades.
Who is the arbiter of terminology? Your argument is entirely unconvincing. Barring places like Canada where the term “engineer” is tied to actual credentials, no such thing exists for artists. Can you imagine, a board of people to license you for artistic practice? A hell I’d rather not visit.

> It makes me wonder if all the phishing and spam I'm reporting even does anything.

I'm usually first in line to hate on Google, but I report a lot of phishing to them and, at least when it comes to phishing sites being hosted by Google, they tend to take them down pretty quickly. I never get a response, and I assume that it's all automated, but it's a lot better than many other hosts. If you report a malicious website to namecheap it can remain online for months and, bad as they are, they aren't even the worst out there in terms of poor abuse handling. Google could do better, but they're really pretty good.

That said, this is just another example of why we should all be blocking ads. It keeps us all safer.

In the neighborhood where I live, there are exactly two choices: Comcast or AT&T. Every time I think I have a grip of which one is more evil, I am proven wrong.

Yes, moving towards any object at speed in special relativity will make it seems contracted (shorter along the axis you're moving.). So the observer in the garage will see a contracted ladder. Meanwhile an observer seated on the ladder would see a non contracted ladder, but the garage would be contracted. The trouble of the paradox is of course that the garage does not get larger to allow in the "larger" non contracted ladder. This seemingly breaks what is called the principle of relativity, which is that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference. The simultaneity they're discussing is the notion that events that seem simultaneous in one frame of reference, may not seem simultaneous in another frame of reference.

So where the first door would close and the second open at the same time to the garage observer. The second door would open much before the first door closes to the ladder observer.

This is a take I don't actually agree with, on it's face, but I will say that even if we assume it's true that DOM access limitations are causing stagnation, I think most devs would prefer wasm to make the DOM unnecessary, rather than to couple anything tighter.

The DOM is kind of great for modeling documents, and quickly creating a form. As far as event driven design goes, it's very performant and accessible. But if you want to do anything that isn't vector graphics or form design, the entire browser stack can hold you back in varying ways.

Personally, I'm seeing a lot of potential in the wasm vector libraries, but I'm even more excited about shader-based, immediate mode guis. And honestly, the fact that you don't need a browser is a bonus, but definitely not the main selling point.

Your milage may vary, of course, but I'm very optimistic about what's coming with wasm!

I don't see it as racist at all--the populist governments of China and India are, on the other hand, quite nakedly "racist" (putting in quotes because India's populism is more about religious bigotry than race, per se, although ethnicity and caste are also flash-points of discrimination there). The quote you pulled even alludes to this.

If you can explain why you think it's racist, then maybe others can explain how it's not.
> geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) could flow through electrical grids, potentially overheating transformers and causing them to fail.

yes, but such currents are typically measured in milliamps or, during the biggest storms, amps. Most utility scale transformers would be needing DC currents of the order of thousands or tens of thousands of amperes before failure.

Even then, overheat sensors would detect such a condition, and operationally the circuit could be de-energised and connected to earth to protect it.

Also, where there are perhaps thousands of transformers connected to a particular distribution grid, the load from the GIC's is shared amongst them, further reducing impact.

The issue is not the mere form 1040. Many taxpayers have to provide several to many other forms.

But besides that, the reason for printing and mailing is that the IRS seems to have focused on either tax prep software company interfaces to the IRS (the tax prep software submits), or fill out - esign - encrypt/hash/protect - submit in their own web-based workflows. In the cases they provide for, there is essentially no provision for adjusting the form to your needs or attaching statements (notes in your own format). And attached statements are very often required.

In particular the IRS refuses to let us upload a PDF or other images of filled out forms. Or email them. Such a submission could then take the exact same path as the forms they receive by mail - doesn't seem too hard - but no, we can't do that.

Some departments at IRS/Treasury insist on a fax interface. As the main alternative to mailing paper. At least in this case I can use a (not exactly safe) PDF to fax gateway to get on with my life.
