>You have zero control over what you will sending to the brain.

I agree. I never said that ??? is "me" here.

To be honest, I've come to the daunting conclusion that the metaphysical self (as opposed to the psychological/physical self) is an illusion, resulting from our brains' memories. Consciousness wise, the me of tomorrow, or one hour from now, or one hour ago, etc., is just as distant from me now as you are from me now, or as a dinosaur millions of years ago is. And when you or anything else suffers greatly, this is just as much a concern as if I were to be told I will experience the same suffering in the future. Although my primate brain (thankfully) does not allow me to experience quite as much angst over others' suffering as my future self's.

As to how I come to this conclusion, just as most of us here would agree that we do not have eternal souls, since elements of our personality, memory, and so on, are by all indications stored inside our perishable brains, by the same line of reasoning, and applying Occams's Razor again, we should not have a separate "spirit" (even of the barest form) since our impression of our lives being individual and continuous is the result of the same brain structures. Shedding the idea of the "spirit" also has the nice benefit of solving the various paradoxes of Star Trek teleporters, atomic scale cloning of people, and so on.

There is also no reason to presume that our time exists at the level of consciousness, and the fact that general relativity precludes the existence of a canonical time ordering for the universe (Block Universe) also points me in that direction.
I expected it to be the other way around, with Linux being the default for Ryzen AI and an open request existing for Windows and Mac support.
I think they should ask themselves if they want a competitive product. For which linux support is a super hard, non negotiable requirement. In general tool chains that work, I would say. And especially on the #1 data center platform.
Never change a running system. If you create a working project, you will not change it, especially a startup.

Possible on a later bigger update (if necessary), a complete app would be rebuild. But here is the same problem: why should you do it, if your project works?

I personally had not seen such an update in early stage of a startup. Did somebody have insights or examples?
The defective system is the legal invention of "copyright".

Get rid of the nonsense that "stop copying me!" should be raised to a cause of action, and we're good.

The world can survive if the top few percent of musicians, writers, and actors make a little less money, that they were receiving based on that fictitious tort.
I feel like everyone is pointing out and screaming to AMD what they should do to get money, and they are still struggling to find it out.
This is a great resource. If one wants additional recipes, there are also many state extensions that have other recipes.
I'd go with:

- take Linux and hack it down pretty aggressively plus splice your code into it

But rather than starting with a Linux distro and hacking it down, I'd start the other way: Boot the kernel directly (via a UEFI bootloader). You can embed a basic filesystem structure (/dev, /proc, /etc, etc.) in a binary blob inside the kernel file itself on build (kind of dumb that this is required at all, but it is)). The kernel itself has basically everything you'd need (for any reason you'd want a unikernel).

if they could instead put this in a slimmer case, maybe something aluminum or otherwise non-diy-looking, that would be great for their value prop.
Stupid or not, it'd be useful for a number of things, including creating a demand for more than one Starship launch per day.

As for the actual uses besides beaming power down, providing additional power to spacecraft in deep space, powering lasers for light sails, or maybe as a directed energy weapon.
In the Rifters trilogy by Peter Watts this technology is referred to as “head cheese”. It’s used as a form of AI as it turns out silicon can never beat biology at analog reasoning. It ends up playing a role in the plot.

> Thankfully there was no fifth movie.

If that's intended as a commentary on the fifth movie I agree with it, but in case it's an actual misapprehension, sadly there was one [1]. It's more part of Bruce Willis' output during his cognitive decline than part of the Die Hard series, really.

For me the most interesting part is “PMTiles”:

> PMTiles is a single-file archive format for pyramids of tiled data. A PMTiles archive can be hosted on a storage platform like S3, and enables low-cost, zero-maintenance map applications.

> PMTiles is a general format for tiled data addressed by Z/X/Y coordinates. This can be cartographic basemap vector tiles, remote sensing observations, JPEG images, or more.

> PMTiles readers use HTTP Range Requests to fetch only the relevant tile or metadata inside a PMTiles archive on-demand.

> The arrangement of tiles and directories is designed to minimize the amount of overhead requests when panning and zooming.

The comm with Ghost is real-time, so it doesn't transfer just on close/open (if I understood your description correctly), so you can go drag&drop an image in the form and get a web app's link in the editor right away

People normally use not the best things, they use things they understand.

Then they are so happy, that they understand it, they write blog article about it, other read it and think "it must be a good thing", then more and more use it.

And if more people use it, other think "it must be a good thing, cause many use it". Self runner.

I read somewhere that this was a source for the excellent world building in The Expanse and also later seasons of For All Mankind. (Personal fan theory: For All Mankind is the unofficial prequel to The Expanse.)

The Expanse plays artistic license a little though with stealth. Even with the drive off you’d have to shut down pretty much everything to have stealth in space. Anything using energy lights up in the infrared due to the second law. Also those big fusion rockets would stay hot as hell for a long time after being shut off, so even if you tried to go cold you’d probably have to wait weeks after using the drive to have much chance of hiding.
>Through discovery, Shopify hopes to identify the John Doe and hold them responsible for the recent wave of DMCA abuse.

Yes. And we will have 128Core / 256 Thread Zen 4c Server soon.

> What kind of fragile markup and problematic CSS global rules are you worrying about?

I’m wondering that too. If I’m writing a SPA, styles are usually scopped to the component with a base styles for UI atomic elements. And some conventions around spacing. If it’s a website, it will be separated in layouts and small components Bootstrap-like. An update will be identified as a variant or a special case.

As for coding this, search all files is usually a godsend when refactoring. You can use ripgrep if the editor does not have a good implementation.

>China occupied and absorbed a lot of nearby nations during its existence. 4000 years ago, what passed for China was much smaller than today's PRC territory. The fact that the Chinese (like the Russians) expanded on land instead of sailing towards their colonies on ships shouldn't play a role in labeling their activity as fundamentally colonial.

Oh, yes it does. Very much so.

All nations fight with their neighoring nations, did so back in the millenia old past, back in the day, and still do today: they have disputes, they go to war, they sometimes merge, and so on. Even Italy and Germany, for example, was just a bunch of smaller regions, not long ago (19th century), and the annexations, neighbor fighting, and disputes in Europe continue to this day.

Not all nations became colonizers though, war and annexation of some neighborhood land is not "colonization", and it's a handful of European countries that did so in the 19th and 20th century - while presenting themselves as beacons for freedom and englightenment.

Not to mention, they also did it to China itself.
This is ridiculous

> The Google Maps API has a generous free tier, but high fees past 30,000 map loads. Protomaps is designed from the ground up to be a system you run yourself - as a 100% static backend on cloud storage - so you only incur the usage costs of storing and serving that data, which can be pennies for moderate usage.

It would be interesting to see a cost comparison: recommended hosting setup vs Google Maps, and at what point the line intersects.

> Wind is apparently a big factor in route planning so that also impacts the exterior design criteria as well.

Wind is a big factor for all vehicles. The big difference is that combustion engines need a lot of cooling, so there's not that much that can be done in regards to aerodynamics on that front. They still experience the same losses with headwind, arguably even more.

> For those who use their vehicles to do repair and other types of field or farm work the verdict is not at all clear.

Then don't get a battery-electric vehicle? There are plenty of completely reasonable cases where currently battery-electric vehicles isn't the solution. But the vast vast vast majority of trucks on the road has never had anything in their truck bed that wouldn't fit inside a Fiat Punto.

> I'd also prefer Fire, Ambulance and Police to stay on gasoline and diesel for probably the next 25 to 50 years, given the abysmal rate of infrastructure development that happens in this country.

I mean - sure? I imagine the people actually driving these vehicles are more than capable of choosing something that gets the job done. How you're able to look 25-50 years into the future is beyond me.
Just dealt with this in the US. And what did they replace it with? A "4G" meter. So, what, about 8 years worth of functionality before that tech is turned off and yet another few million pieces of e-waste are generated?
What is "EU population"? There's no EU defence budget. Most of the protection from Russia is financed by a few bordering countries (mostly Poland). The rest of the EU is way under it's 2% GDP required by NATO, so not sure if Switzerland has much to thank for.
It'd be nice to have something simpler as an otel processor. Otel could just dump events to local disk as sequential writes then read them back, load permitting.

I'm sure most developers can see the bigger picture with a 95-99% a implementation.
In addition to the Stop Lines the other poster has mentioned, there were a number of Auxiliary Units set up. These were undocumented groups with their own arms bunker storing 'terrorist' and assassination weapons whose job was to cause chaos and disruption should we be invaded. These were dotted all over the country, including up in Scotland.

They had all sorts of specialised and experimental weaponry, the links below cover some of the details. My late father was involved in their decommissioning as part of his National Service in the very late 1940s.

You haven't provided a better solution.
You do not even need to experiment on it. Just look at any country where the wealth tax is implemented since many years, e.g. Switzerland. The solution is on the table, take it as it is and then make some tweaks.
"Not all nations became colonizers though, war and annexation of some neighborhood land is not "colonization"."

I happen to think otherwise, being from a nation that was targeted by both German and Russian imperialism.

Whether the invaders roll in in chariots, tanks or ships is an irrelevant technical detail for me. The goal is the same, domination over somebody weaker than you, usually supported by resettlements of foreigners to your territory.

Ask, e.g. the Baltic nations whether what Stalin did to them was not "colonialism". The USSR in general engaged in forced russification of everyone.
