Thanks for the pointer. I am interested in instrumentation so I'll look up the AO papers. Naively it seems like that would be an issue whether the primary is a few large segments or a lot of small ones.

If the resulting project winds up as a redesign, it would presumably add years to the project and that will only increase costs. Some philanthropic organizations and partner countries will see their generosity go for nothing which won't help matters. EELT will be operational in that time and getting results.

I also wonder about the growing LEO satellite problem. I get that these enormous telescopes have narrow fields-of-view compared to Rubin and similar wide-field survey facilities. The possibility of these being overwhelmed by spaceborne light pollution seems very real.
Your comment reminds me of Boards of Canada's "Dayvan Cowboy" video, which blends Joe Kittinger's space jump with Laird Hamilton's surfing:

Why did people move away from IIS hosting for production?
Exactly. Which is why I feel no sympathy for the entitled complainers when google says enough and blocks the ad-blockers. As somebody that makes videos and makes a decent amount of money from it, I could care less about people that are so adamantly demanding free content getting cut off by Google. These people clearly don’t care about paying the subscription Google offers if they want to avoid ads, they clearly don’t want to watch ads to even support the creator, why would I care about having these people watch my videos?

It’s especially funny to see this sentiment on hacker news. “Those stupid content creators, clearly if they want to make money, just don’t use YT!”. I’m curious, what’s the alternative? Cable? Good luck. Udemy? What if I’m trying to make entertainment videos? Oh, I guess I could just build my own low latency highly efficient video hosting site and get a paid subscriber base that manages to cover hosting costs and make a profit! Yea, because that’s completely realistic…
If you zoom in, the map shows the street names. I suspect it's only a change in "what resolution should show which names".
I'm not sure that follows. Some countries would reach that goal first and then the others could get the technology eventually, or even if they don't if most of the large countries switch to nuclear it seems it would take care of the main problem.
> No. There is nothing reasonable about this. This is programming. When you're programming against a spec (POSIX), you don't "make assumptions". You rely only on what it says in the spec.

Are you sure 100% of Linux application developers first and foremost think about POSIX, and never rely on an implementation-defined oddity to get the behavior they need?

Hyrum's Law is powerful: "With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody."

> People are quick to lazy it out, assume, copy-paste, etc, instead of critically thinking "wait, does the code I write here really guarantee the desired effect, e.g. to write my file to disk".

Exactly. That is a fact of life that Linux kernel developers have to balance with POSIX.
Your “experience” of subjectivity is really just an illusion.

Your subconscious mind makes very deterministic decisions milliseconds before your conscious mind is even made aware of it, and it feels like you’re deciding consciously but you’re actually absolutely not based on many studies.

I think the widgets are important. One of the primary ways I use Google maps is to punch in new directions quickly while at a red light or something. I want to press one button. The “home” and “gas” buttons help here. I certainly do not want features “buried” in the app where I need to tap more things frantically. I think the map is the most important thing, and the current design reflects this, but it isn’t SO important that everything else should go away.

I don’t really care what a designer from 15 years ago thinks. The current designers do a good job.

It could be. It depends on the source and cost per dose of the adjuvant. Adjuvants from natural products can be supply limited and also costly to produce.

Regardless, it makes you wonder why they went forward with that particular adjuvant for the TB trial in the first case.

No. If you don't call fsync(), there's no guarantee that your data will _ever_ be written to disk.

Some file systems with some settings may write data to hardware after some delay or periodically, but others may not.

fsync() "performs" e.g. an ATA FLUSH command on the underlying hardware.

Sometimes you can see some street names, but not others. So you have to play this game of constantly zooming in and out in different locations to figure out the names of all the streets.
From the article:

> However, the ordering effect of rename() turns out to be a file system specific implementation side effect. It only works when changes to the file data in the file system are ordered with respect to changes in the file system metadata. In ext3/4 [...]

Seems pretty clear to me that this is talking about an ext3/4 implementation detail that people have started to rely on...? I also pretty clearly remember that from back in 2009.

> This article is just plain wrong.

Articles like this helped me understand the distinction between theoretical POSIX semantics and what Linux was actually doing at the time.

It seems like you are reading more into this article than at least I got out of it – maybe it's because I still remember that 2009 controversy, but I wouldn't have drawn any of the (incorrect, and I agree on that!) conclusions you're listing above.
> They wanted a new CEO

If that were the case, would they not have presented the new CEO immediately for an “orderly transition”? As I understand it, Ms Murati tried to get Altman back, and when she pressured the board, they tried at least two other possible CEOs before settling on Mr Shear, who also threatened to leave if they could not give evidence of a legal reason for firing Altman. It smells like a personality conflict.

Yeah, all filesystems are allowed to synchronize to disk as often as they want, in whatever way they want in /addition/ to what's specified. Filesystems can even make their own guarantees, above and beyond generalized specifications like fsync().

I could write a filesystem that synchronized files after every 42 megabytes, or once every 69 seconds. Apps might even come to depend on this behavior. All filesystems will have predictable, implementation dependent idiosyncrasies.

But these aren't specified behaviors. They're not part of an interface and they shouldn't be depended on. The article implying that they ought to be is, I think, shortsighted. Other filesystems don't do this and your code will break if you assume it.

I agree it's braindead.
Meanwhile, bugs galore.

Since last month, any time I am looking at Google Maps, the podcast or music playing in the background will stop every few seconds. Not with navigation directions or review open, simply looking at the map it just grabs exclusive control of iOS audio for some unfathomable reason and plays nothing.

Add to this the years old issue with inability to remove hundreds of old starred places. You can remove them using the app, you can go to starred list in web GUI and do it from there, but they all come back.

But yeah, someone decided it was worthwhile to spend the time on the damned color change.

GMaps still have strong points, like all the integrations that result in mostly correct regarding public transportation routes around the world or the review system which I am sure is a pain to keep up with the amount of UGC they're getting.

What are you talking about?

I break down exactly what you mention, there's a nice appendix at the top. I cannot help if you didn't read the whole thing, but don't claim there's an error right after you mention not reading it haha

Here's a direct link to how I break out homicides by murder weapons: https://austingwalters.com/firearms-by-the-numbers/#Murder_W...

Here's a direct link to the breakdown by gun ownership: https://austingwalters.com/firearms-by-the-numbers/#Homicide...

Take a look at the graph of murder weapon by state:

https://austingwalters.com/firearms-by-the-numbers/#Murder_W...

If you're murdered in DC you're more likely to be murdered by someones fists than by a gun. When you compare that to Alaska, you're more likely be murdered in DC by fire arm, fists, knives, etc than all causes in Alaska.

In New York State, you're less likely to be murdered than in Alaska (from any cause, including gun shots).

The point I am trying to make is there isn't the correlation you think there is.

Regarding data, I cite my sources: https://austingwalters.com/firearms-by-the-numbers/#Data_Too...

You can argue with the UN about the homicide rates, that's the data I used.
Maps has been pretty transparent over the years of transforming Maps into a destionation for Places, not just to browse, or look around, or sightsee. You open maps, find a Place, and go to it.
> The throwaway acccount is right.

> In POSIX, file content data and metadata (directory entries) are separate. Atomicity and durability are separate.

1. If the author understands this, then the throwaway is wrong, since they claimed the author didn't know this.

2. The entire point of TFA was that POSIX is underspecified here, so I think they covered it sufficiently; something that worked on FFS didn't work on ext4, and the suggestion is that it should work going forwards, regardless of what POSIX requires.

No one is stealing a damn thing. We're not obligated to watch ads. Our attention is not currency to pay for services with. If anyone's stealing anything, it's them. As far as I'm concerned uBlock Origin is legitimate self-defense against their ceaseless attempts to grab my attention without my consent.

They send people videos for free. They do so hoping you'll watch the ads. At exactly no point does this ever turn into an obligation to "pay" by watching the ads. They only have themselves to blame if their business model isn't working out.
I've watched a lot of those but I was thinking of something interactive like the Amazon Explore product mentioned above.

For many years the Rhaetian Railways/Canton of Graubunden in Switzerland had high quality helmet-cam videos of a 30+ hour walk from Thusis to Tirano with many stops along the way. These were part of a beautifully done Flash website where one could "walk along" in real time. Unfortunately, when Flash went away so did the site. I wrote to them several times pleading for them to preserve it or at least make the videos available. They finally replied and said no, there was no interest let alone budget.

Wayback has the landing pages but not the videos which were served from elsewhere.

As it turns out, the Orionid meteor shower was just about at its peak in the skies over Massachusetts at that point. Given the average velocity of these particular meteors (66 km/s), [Avi] figures the source of the sound was a space rock of about a meter in diameter meeting its fiery end.

For me personally that’s a nightmare. I don’t like to dwell in the past too much. But there are always people I know personally, who can remember some very precise things of the past (e.g. me wearing something very common and usual during some very common and usual event at, say, school). Whilst I cannot even remember the event took place at all, so usual it was. They not gaslight me, I know, as with their reminders I can remember some minuscule details. But I see them themselves as someone living in the past way too much. ‘Good ol’ days,’ you know. I’m not a very enlightened person myself, but this living in the past is way too much for me.

That’s what I feel about re-watching some shitty movie over and over again. Even cult ones, like Rocky, original Star Wars, Terminator etc. It feels way too much for me. A tiny dose of nostalgia once a few years maybe, that’s okay. But being there over and over, nah.
Just buy premium. Not only do you avoid ads on all your devices (tv, phone, computer), you also get background playing of yt videos on your iPhone, which is an awesome feature. Not to mention, you support the livelihoods of the creators you watch (they get 55% of that money!)
I can understand it better when people have lived in a place, built structures, raised families, and so on. AFAIK, the top of Mauna Kea was not settled that way and in fact, is pretty inhospitable to humans who are not very well prepared to be there. I've never been to Hawaii but understand that rampant development and tourism are big problems on some islands. I could understand knocking down massive hotels and returning that land to nature. The telescopes at least to me are an entirely different situation.

My comment here was actually meant to talk about AI broadly, though I can get the confusion here as the original source thread here is about OpenAI.

I also don't expect the government to do anything about the OpenAI situation, to be clear. Though my read is actually that the government had to be evolved behind closed doors to move so quickly to get Sam back to OpenAI. Things moved much too quickly and secretively in an industry that is obviously of great interest to the military, there's no way the feds didn't put a finger on the scale to protect their interests at which point they wouldn't come back in to regulate.

I've been burned several times by relying on what it says in a spec, when the implementation turned out to behave slightly differently.

It's something I've been thinking about lately. I feel like most of the value and importance of things come when people are doing things they think are worth doing in a way that they think is more or less the right way to do them.

On the one hand, there are many things worth doing that have sub-tasks that aren't particularly "fun", but I think in a fair number of cases people can make peace with those by understanding that they are part of the overall worth-doing task and are part of what it means to do it right.

On the other hand, a huge amount of value is sucked out of our world by "business", which is basically a way to take things that are worth doing and wrap them in money so the actual thing people wanted to do (both as creators and consumers) is muffled and hidden.
