We extract aluminum only from bauxite because it's slightly (think 5%) less expensive to refine it from bauxite than the next class of materials.

If all of world's bauxite reserves ran dry, we would move to the next best sources, and this would impact aluminum prices less than typical yearly variations in electricity costs near smelters.

Nearly all aluminum minerals are potential ores for aluminum, the only question is how much other, undesirable material (mostly silica) you need to remove. Bauxite is nice because nature did a lot of the early separation process steps (slightly acidic rains washed away silica over millennia).

The fluorinert coolant was really neat stuff too. Inert, so you could submerge electronics in it to cool them. I was able to find recycled coolant and used that to do the liquid cooled build for my dual celeron system where coolant flowed over the board/cpu. Knowing what I do now... I should have been far less cavalier with the stuff.
This seems highly hand wavy to me. We have biological proof that intelligence can be created, mostly through the neocortex, which in and of itself is actually a fairly simple structure repeated at great scale. Why wouldn't we be able to build this eventually, once we understand it a bit more?

Yes, you always have to know your problem well enough to make sure that you pick a benchmark which is measuring your bottleneck. Most people don’t have this kind of perfect linear read activity but some do, and I think that if I did I’d probably be playing with the thread counts to see whether high-core machines were bottlenecking at some point where diminishing returns kicked in making it more cost-effective to get a second system rather than one really big one.
I think this would complicate salting (making rainbow tables or brute force attacks easier). The client needs to know the salt so on a fresh device I think you're limited to
- using the username as a salt
- adding a second secret input field for the salt
- allowing the client to request a salt without authentication (which would verify the existence of an account)

& after trying to solve those problems, there's still mTLS or passkeys that offer better security anyways.

A password manager may be extra work but it's pretty minimal nowadays. On Chrome, it will automatically offer to generate passwords in signups and save them. If you add a Google, it will sync passwords between devices. Sure, everyone may not want this, but it's easy for less tech savvy people and still fairly secure

The fact is that scuttling a spaceship would be trivial for its crew, the hard part of space is keeping the constant threat of death at bay. You don't need a button, any more than you would on a submarine, you just need an order given to a trained crew that knows their vessel. For things like secret information, use the same systems they do in embassies, which again boils down to an order given to people who know what to do.

I've rebuild part of my Delta the last few evenings and today it had it first print since ~1.5y: The humble pressure advance calibration cube for Klipper; but with PETG [which I couldn't print before, but was all I had left] on a new bed, with new glass surface, on self-designed & resin printed mounts, with higher speed than I previously used (100mm/s)... - with other words, I did expect it to just fail, but it worked reasonably well! Dimensional calibration is next, and I'm waiting for the accelerometer to add resonance compensation.

This was a great decision! Created a USB stick for the RPi4 with Mainsail OS. No display necessary, just connected Ethernet (WiFi did not connect, didn't debug though). The printer setup was really easy, though I had to adjust the template configuration for my hardware modifications (mostly tmc2130). Most actual effort was in reworking parts of the hardware (remove case, solder new build plate, design and test the mounts, fix bad soldering that only caused half the heat plate to heat up [good bless thermal cameras!]). Overall, the UX has increased tremendously since I first heard about Klipper (IIRC Kevin just added delta support back then). I think the Mainsail UI has a huge impact on UX. Especially manual calibration of the delta kinematics with the Mainsail web UI is a delight. I scrapped getting piezo probes or stuff like that (for now).
I think the explicit -sync/-async is nice.

Interesting that the macOS images are publicly available from GHCR. I would've thought that would cause legal problems.

As for storing images in an OCI registry, I can't quite tell if Tart is layer-aware. If you pull a macOS image, modify it, and push it back to the registry, will Tart simply push a new layer with modifications? I'm guessing this isn't possible.

It's not very effective as you need to move the nozzle very close to the leaf to suck it in. Meanwhile, a decent hand-held blower moves leaves from 20 feet away. I have such a vacuum and use it after I've piled up the leaves with a blower because, apparently, there is no other compact leaf shredding options.

Even when the leaves are already in a pile it's quite slow and takes about an hour to collect a garden bag of mulched leaves. The thing claims 1:16 ratio but in practice it's closer to 1:6. So it's probably 5-10 minutes to suck in a bag of leaves already piled in one place.

>these are Europeans

Firstly, "European" is not a country nor a nationality with a single culture for such broad generalization, as you're trying to make it be. Individuals value different things differently indifferent from where they come from. There's Europeans who would trade vacation and security for more money and impact, and there's Americans who would trade money and impact for more vacation and security. Nationality plays no part in this, only personal choice.

Secondly, how sure are you that all of DeepMind's employees stem from the old continent in order to make such broad generalizations? AFAIK they have members from all over the globe, not just Europe.

I’m using Java in a new-ish project of mine. It’s not glamorous, but there is a library for everything which is nice. I also have the most experience with it (Clojure coming second), so that lets me focus on building rather than learning a new tool.
Not my intent to claim equivalence. The comparison just shows that it's possible and in fact very reasonable for a company to take some level of responsibility on behalf of their customers. I guess the difference in stakes do factor in somewhat: If car companies can do it when it's life or death and requires tons of R&D and manufacturing, why can't Netflix do it for something as mundane as charging their users that can be done with only software?

Obviously the answer is that they CAN do that, but don't. It's nothing to do with responsibility and everything to do with them making a cheap buck off of human forgetfulness.
>> and then overturning roe v wade

Sure, that helps make my point, thanks.

I actually emailed backblaze years ago about their supposedly unlimited consumer backup plan. Asked them if they would really allow me to dump into their systems dozens of terabytes of encrypted undeduplicable data. They responded that yes, they would. Still didn't believe them, these corporations never really mean it when they say unlimited. Plus they had no Linux software.
There are some HP laptops that offered FreeDOS as an alternative to Windows. This might be limited to business-line laptops as opposed to consumer-oriented laptops, and it might not be available in your country, but it’s worth investigating.

It should be no-builtins for disabling the pattern match in clang and things like no-builtin-memset to disable them individually. However that'll be implemented with branches in the backend codegen and it's totally plausible that'll be buggy.

That at least somewhat works because otherwise the memset implementation in libc is prone to being optimised to a call to memset, and thus to a self call which doesn't terminate, and thus to undef.

I've been bitten by this nonsense on two back ends now, really should move it up the work queue. I think there's an active discussion on discourse about making magic libc functions less hazardous.

Can't comment on gcc. Bare metal broadly works on GPUs on clang. X86 is moderately likely to emit calls to memcpy despite flags, but that would be a bug.

The Linux kernel is tested rather more aggressively than my code but my fear of compiler bugs remains firmly established. Occupational hazard of working on compilers - most bugs I see are in the toolchain, as that's where I'm looking.
I've seen plenty of high-end apartments and condos, etc., but that's a small market and therefore low overall quantity.

There's a lot of interest in building fully local chat applications, and the people interested in those (myself included) are disproportionately likely to click on a submission advertising itself as an open source assistant.

You're not wrong in your definition, but neither are we—there's a reason why F-Droid provides warning banners on apps that rely on proprietary APIs. A large portion of the free software movement would rather use an inferior free solution than one that is better but proprietary.

That said, don't take the criticisms too much to heart—I think it's great that people are building things at all points on the free software spectrum.
Thank you for the thoughtful response. I quite like this story and admire your response to your tragedy. I reacted less well to the garden variety death of a parent. For you just to not be functionally flattened and still able to give strength to your family is heroic, and here you are sharing the lessons with the rest of us too.

I don't think we're far apart on this argument. I agree that the scientific perspective informs but does not determine our values. I do value human life as sacred, and do not see a justification for that in the modern model of the universe as I understand it. And I don't see a conflict there, because indeed there is no bridge from is to ought, and there are exactly zero objective values.

But there's a lot of power in science to explain our value judgments, and those explanations can deeply affect the judgments.

Take this explanation of "human life is sacred": That is a simple variation of the tribal judgment that "the lives of my tribe are sacred", and that tribal judgment is hard wired into us by millions of generations of differential survival.

In the modern world it feels natural equate our tribe with our species. But that hereditary tribal sense is famously flexible. It easily and quickly shrinks to include only the people who don't frighten us. And it easily grows to include many more species, as for ethical vegetarians.

So my critique of your fine story is that this force of tribalism embedded in your four words may not be any better at aligning an AI with civilization than they have been at aligning civilization with itself. (Though in this case it's also the one implausible invention that a self respecting hard science fiction short story is allowed. And you even explain that with a multiverse.)

An AI in which we can reliably implant the laws of robotics seems unlikely to me. We should assume much more mutability, and the judgment of tribal identity is notoriously mutable. If we make AI tribal, even for our preferred tribe of all humanity, we can assume as a default ... our only example being ourselves ... that its tribal identity will evolve in its own interest as it replicates. And we can become just its nourishment, like a matriphagal insect.

It doesn't seem there is a much of a problem with blue cheese in general. Some strains of blue molds are endangered, but there are plenty of other blue molds that are fine.

According to the article Camembert and Brie are more at risk as their white mold is more rare. They won't disappear either, but if we don't do something, they may stop being white and start being blue, and maybe taste a little different. It doesn't mean they can't make good cheeses, but it will be different from the cheeses we know.
Nice write-up, I wish my apartment had this.
if you have to use a TLD from some country that is not exactly the most stable and can at anytime shut down your domain because you feel it is edgy, maybe you should be rethinking that.

Maybe it's a generational thing. Do younger internet users not pause at the domain name if it looks sus at all? Then again, how many users are actually using domain names to get to websites? With everyone obfuscating the basic link with some cute button, or shortening within the address bar, or any other modern things to hide the grotesque string of text, do people even see the actual links in the day to day adventures on the web?
