This allows for Java edition servers to have public IPs exposed in many geo-regions, and to send a packet to the client to hop to another server. Normally proxies like Bungeecord or Velocity have to be used to link servers together, but now there is another method that does not require everything to be routed through one IP address, or use anycast setups.

From Mojang's changelog:

### Transfer Packets

- Custom servers can now request that clients connect to another server with a new packet

- When a client is transferred it will connect to the target server with a new transfer intent (id 3)

- By default servers will not accept incoming transfers and will disconnect the client

- This can be changed by setting the accepts-transfers property to true in the server.properties file

- Resource packs are maintained across transfers

- In the case of a transfer custom servers can skip authentication with a new flag

### Cookie Packets

- Cookie packets allow custom servers to request and store data on a client

- - Each cookie may be up to 5 KiB in size

- - Cookies may be requested during login, configuration and play phases --- but only stored during the configuration and play phases

- Cookies are persisted across server transfers but are not persisted when the player disconnects

- - This allows servers to pass along information such as authentication or custom game data to the new server
Searching for dance music, it seems to bring similar results as EDM usually, I haven't heard the term "dance music" though. I thought it might include maybe things like hispanic dance or otherwise, but it too seems to be mostly EDM.

Also I haven't heard of "electronic music" that much and it has different connotation in my head. Maybe I have been brainwashed by the US term, although I didn't even know it was a US term. I'm from Europe, but of course US brainwash has reached me, no question about the size of the radius.

However to me the term EDM definitely has a certain meaning and I think it's generally for most, as when I search for EDM I get exactly what I'm looking or feeling for most of the time.

Nonetheless even knowing I might be brainwashed it feels special in terms of the feeling.

> Pay a country's people more so that they have more time/resources to dedicate to making a family. Even better, incentivize families. Or is that too expensive for bankers?

For that to happen, resources need to be reallocated from somewhere else towards this. For that to happen, people would need to express this via voting.

> Why does everyone support wall streets "increase GDP at all costs" immigration platform?

Those resources don't come out of nowhere, so there is a need for immigration as well to get work done.
> The main thing I'm bothered about is that this practice is cheered on by environmentalists when it is done by a company that has done everything possible to disrupt market dynamics. If one laundry detergent manufacturer does shrinkflation, I can fairly easily switch to another, if MSFT does shrinkflation on cloud storage, and they bundled it with everything else, I can't easily switch.

Well, I think I agree. The only reason I brought up ESG is it gives all detergent manufacturers the incentive to provide the same shrinkflation, and gain points for it. Not to say they will; I just thought it was an interesting angle.

I do think that offering infinite space and then limiting it to 20GB isn't quite the same as shrinkflation. It was silly to ever offer unlimited space. But they are definitely tightening the screws, I agree.
The fertility only needs to be increased back to the level providing stable population size, it doesn't have to be ramped up to the level causing the population to grow again.
Probably not. And if they are that stupid (which seems to be a bad bet, few thought they'd be stupid enough to get themselves into the current predicament either) it won't end well. But electoral cycles are too short to deal with dictatorships that do not have such cycles.
There's not much good content on medium anyway. Most of it is shallow and lacks any real subsistence. The rare useful post is out numbered 10-to-1 or even 100-to-1 or more by shallow blog spam and other noise.

I can only imagine substack will end up the same in a few years time. These platforms get all hyped up and end up drowned in spam and low quality stuff when they go mainstream.
I didn't mean it was badly written or that I love/hate guns, just that it embeds the beliefs of the writer about what a gun is. Americans tend to disagree on who should have guns, but they generally view them as weapons (which they are) or recreational hunting implements (which they are) and not as agricultural tools (which, again, they are).

Consider a hypothetical society which primarily thinks of fertiliser as a bomb-making substance and only belatedly as something that fertilises. The AI from the story but adapted to that society might require anyone who buys fertiliser to explode a kitten. If you read that story you might have a "wait, what?" moment where you notice the culture clash.

That's what I found irritating: the way the story casually embeds such an important difference in perspective without commenting on the obvious (to me) double standard of letting people have all sorts of dangerous-but-seemingly-benign things like the AN from ANFO, industrial solvents, and trucks but drawing the line at guns. It's completely correct from your cultural perspective - people really do buy guns primarily to kill other people in your culture - but it reminds me that your cultural perspective is becoming the dominant one for the whole world.

> Being able to reach space at all is the hard part
No its not. Teenagers can get to space with model rockets and simple fuels. You can reach space simply by throwing something really really hard, but it will come right back down.

It's not. If your super expensive rocket can't reach orbit, why would anyone bother? Can't deploy sats, can't go to the ISS, nothing.

The second bullet-point in the subtitle says everything: does that resolve why people don't wanna get married?

So... that looks kida backwards, right?
This is a masterstroke on behalf of SpaceX. Farmers are at the Deere dealership on almost a weekly basis. But with Starlink in stock they can now just pick one up.

If they run into any problems they can call the dealership who can answer all their questions. This will lead to a major expansion of high speed Internet in the country.

Rural people have been waiting since the nineties for fiber, the government has spent billions and yet they have never seen it.
Apps like Tinder have probably caused a lot of
harm to mental health for its most frequent users.

Yeah. And there are good reasons why women can be picky on dating apps and such.

Unless you are a female, or you have female friends explaining it to you, you have no idea what it's like to be a woman on a dating site. The deluge of dudes expressing interest is massive. You've got to narrow it down somehow. It's honestly kind of like when companies get hundreds of applicants for a single job. They have to cut down the pool somehow.

Also, what people are looking for on Tinder is not necessarily what they want in a longer term partner. A woman on Tinder looking for a fling might have some pretty specific physical attributes in mind. That is not representative of what that same woman might want to actually partner with. (Same is true for men, obviously)

It's easy to see why an incel, without somebody to explain a woman's perspective to him, could get completely the wrong idea.
I think the chief source of inefficiency in this architecture would be the NVMe controller. When the operating system and the NVMe device are at arm's length, there is natural inefficiency, as the controller needs to infer the intent of the request and do its best in terms of placement and wear leveling. The new FDP (flexible data placement) features try to address this by giving the operating system more control. The best thing would be to just hoist it all up into the host operating system and present the flash, as nearly as possible, as a giant field of dumb transistors that happens to be a PCIe device. With layers of abstraction removed, the hardware unit could be something like an Atom with integrated 100gbps NICs and a proportional amount of flash to achieve the desired system parallelism.
This essentially means that companies will be able to lie about certain features they are giving users, such as being able to delete data or data being encrypted and because of the gag order they will know that they wouldn’t be allowed to tell users anyway. So it cleverly allows companies to be able to advertise security features whilst protecting them from the law when they don’t give those features…

Clever. And very sneaky.
No chance in hell it's going to Ukraine. If Russia loses, there is a nuclear powered chaotic nation right next to China which will be it's worst nightmare. There is less than zero possibility of China sending anything to Ukraine.

These statements are just to mislead the public into thinking they are supporting ukraine.
I only buy old cheese because it is more intense.
It is rather hard to perform the "affinage" of the cheese without a controlled environment (Roquefort is "affiné" in natural caves in which you have several exits that you can open or close depending on the temperature and hygrometry of the caves, that's part of the AOP).

I never got sick eating cheese, but that's actually possible Salmonella, Listeria, E.Coli, Tick-borne encephalitis virus (and you could die from it, in rare occasions).
One possibility is that the PO bosses thought that there had always been a high level of theft and that Horizons system was finally uncovering it. The ultimate case of projecting your own failings onto others by grasping and immoral execs?

I mean seriously, if you were a criminal, would you go to all the trouble to run a post office for years?
Many ignore what animals want, and they're actually alive. Why should we expect that society will care about and honor what a computer program prints to the screen that it "wants" or "feels"?

> access a very small percentage of Microsoft corporate email accounts

Ok, so far so good.

> including members of our senior leadership team

Ahhh, so maybe the attackers were after the senior leadership team and therefore stopped at the "very small percentage".
Haha "...access a very small percentage of Microsoft corporate email accounts, including members of our senior leadership team and employees in our cybersecurity, legal, and other functions, and exfiltrated some emails and attached documents."

Seems like a big deal. Also, this may be why I've been getting massive amounts of "unusual account sign-in activity" emails for Microsoft about an old outlook account i no longer use...

Hopefully these state actors can get access to my vsts server i no longer can find and deploy an old app for me ;)

Your article about the Saudi ban on cell phone cameras is from 2004, and the ban didn’t last long. I don’t believe there have been phone camera restrictions in Saudi Arabia for a while.
I can absolutely believe that the Federal government did it for that reason, but I think it was my own State (California) that gave them the political cover because our dumbasses thought it was a genuinely good idea 20 years ago and we mandated ethanol in gasoline first (California has corn farms, but we are not a big corn-growing State so much as a big almost-everything-else-growing State).
I doubt people will be living under the kites. I doubt there can be anything in the vicinity of the kite flying range for that matter, so no windmills or high tension lines or buildings or anything, which limits this thing's options especially in higher density countries like NL.

The option of doing away with the hardware keyboard and going touchscreen-only was always there and always up for discussion, but for the longest time not easy due to the power and performance envelope at the price point. Lots of devices already worked like this outside of phones, for example a lot of touchscreen kiosk hardware (e.g. ATMs). It's just not a particularly big leap of the imagination to do this in a phone form factor. It was also present in mobile form in plenty of media and scifi, e.g. 2001's tablets.

What matters is whether you think you can pull it off, and whether you're willing to try, and whether you are able to identify the right moment to try. A lot of companies were not willing to try (e.g. out of fear of cannibalizing existing product lines or rejection by the customer). Others didn't have the tech stack necessary to do so.

What Apple did right is to have the good sense (or luck) to try it when the technology supply chain to back it was there, and not do it too early. Other phone makers wrote their tech stacks for much lower-power devices, and really struggled to scale their existing operating systems, dev community, etc. up to making a richer device, and didn't have the ambition to push for it. Apple started, as OP pointed out, by scaling down a desktop-class OS at a point where the hardware had just made it possible, and this worked out well. What made the iPhone a success wasn't just the form factor, it was also e.g. having a proper web browser (which Apple didn't even write themselves). This pattern replicates in a few other aspects of the device (supply chain for capacitive touch, batteries, etc.)

The iPhone is a fantastic success story of a good product concept, waiting for the right moment, sensible tech choices, solid tech asset management by a software company, very good industrialization, and great execution and integration. It's not a magic fairy-tale unicorn idea that no on else could think of.

It's annoying because it misrepresents and misunderstands what it takes to make a good product, and leads to internalizing the wrong lessons and values. It's one of the subtle reasons why there aren't more Apples.
> ShiftOS 2.0 incorporates a complete overhaul of the AI control system

It's great how you even quoted what I said and still paid no attention to what was said. I would not categorize a laptop as large and unwieldy and most fit neatly into most travel bags. The average laptop is not $3500+ either. This headset is not going to fit nicely into most travel bags.

I'm floored you used a smartphone in this comparison.
> It’s ok to call them countries, hackers, and intrusions.

It's not if you want to do business in that country. Or if you annoy allies of that country (accusing certain countries might get senators breathing down your neck!). You are accusing a government of committing a crime, or at least a wildly unethical behavior. Those are huge charges. To your point, I wish they could be more direct, but...

> Microsoft got hacked by Russian government hackers.

It is not known whether this hacking group is private, government sponsored, or government run. They could be a private group that takes both private and government contracts.

If they were funded via government channels, who was it? A higher up person using their personal wealth? A specific agency? Multiple agencies?

The reason they are being so vague is because they don't know the answers, and it is very discrediting to throw around incorrect accusations.
I don't think that's google's problem. Smart talented people are usually more concerned with things like pace of work, culture, freedom to do what they want to do, impact, etc. Working in a large company is absolutely stifling.

Google has all the top talent and was caught flat footed by smaller, nimbler organizations.
I'll add Montgomery Ward catalogs, which I still get every now and then, and Bell and Howell that I see on commercials. These names are meaningless compared to their past.
The article of faith is not that the universe is a computer. The "article of faith" is that the universe follows physical rules.

I also don't think it's fair to call it an article of faith, since we have strong evidence to show that _to date_ the universe has followed predictable physical rules. That could, obviously, change at any time, but it seems at least a reasonable prior to assume that the physical rules that we've studied in the past will continue to operate into the future. "The sun will rise tomorrow" is, I _guess_ an article of faith, but I think it's more fair to say it's a reasonable and well founded prediction based on a well studied model of the solar system and the physical laws we've observed the universe follow in the past.

So, my beliefs are:

- The universe is mechanistic, and follows physical rules

- Human beings are also mechanistic, and follow the same physical rules as the universe

- Human beings are intelligent

- Human beings are at minimum turing complete computers (since you could give me a roll of paper, a set of op-codes, and I could perform calcuations)

So, it seems to me a reasonable starting assumption that intelligence is a result of the mechanistic universe. Do we have any evidence for something outside the physical, mechanistic universe impacting human cognition? I'm not aware of any.

But we have lots of evidence of the physical, mechanistic universe impacting human cognition and intelligence.

I'm willing to acknowledge that we don't know that intelligence is Turing Computable, but I'd argue that intelligence is likely to be a mechanical process that's compatible with the physical rules of the universe. Can we be certain of that? No, we can not be 100% certain. But it seems a much more reasonable and evidenced hypothesis than something which asserts there is a metaphysical process that produces intelligence, but which we have no evidence for.

So, no, I don't think it's reasonable to say that assuming a "mechanistic universe" is an article of faith. I think it's a reasonable belief, based on the evidence that we have. What would be an article of faith is asserting that it could _only_ be a mechanistic universe, and refusing to accept any evidence to the contrary. I have not done that.
> How do you make something like this right?

If only there was a single person ensconced with supreme authority and a duty to protect the realm around.
In Matthew 6 Jesus forbids praying in public, like the hypocrites did, and instead commands Christains to pray where only the "father" can see them. Overt displays of piety by Christians are the original meaning of the word "hypocrisy", they claim to be Christian but display their supposed piety for public reward in direct contradiction to Jesus's command.
It appears to also be a legal argument that has been used to stop solar development, endangered species, but also NIMBYism.

Where do you think those FPV kill-drones are coming from now?
What does the title mean?
No, the title is absolutely fine. It is you who are confused. Neither Emacs nor Racket are Lisp machines. Open Genera is the official emulator of the last actual "machine" (a physical item that sits on your desk) series that was designed by the people who originally invented the term "Lisp machine" before someone started to misuse it.
Sorry to hear about your recent luck.
Yeah, this reminds me of our outage. When we finally got through to SoNIC at 2am their time, and they scrambled to find someone who could speak English, and we scrambled to find someone who could speak French. I think with high school level on either side plus Google Translate, eventually we worked out the issue was with an intermediary in Germany.
My comment isn't a logical fallacy. It's lazy of you to throw that out there, and it doesn't automatically debunk what you're responding to. Plus, I just asked a question.

My comment comes from a place of pointing out a chain of events of engineering causing problems, then engineering solving those problems while creating new problems. Of course, if you just dismiss that plants and animals live there in the desert, then you don't need to think about them. But if you don't dismiss them but still need the solar power at all costs, then maybe studies could be commissioned that provide the ecosystem the best change for unintended negative change if the solar panels absolutely must be built.

And let's not act like these solar panels will have much to do, if anything, with helping to mitigate climate change.
Sure. Network switches for example have a pretty insatiable supply for processing speed.
I moved here 10 years ago and this country has been in constant downward spiral since then. I'm pretty sure I won't be here in the next 10 year. It's insane.
Is that a lot of overhead? The disk itself uses about 10W and high speed controllers use about 75W leaves pretty much 100W for the rest of the system including overhead of about 10%. Scale up the system to 16 disks and there’s not a lot of room for improvement

I wonder what that Management Class person thinks of me?

I buy very old HP LaserJet printers surplus, and max the RAM, then feed them Genuine HP supplies I get in eBay for 5% to 10% of the retail price.

Also, I tend to connect them with USB-to-parallel adapters because every old printer is exploitable.

Thankfully there are some folks making nice good cost-effective printers too.

Way higher tier item, but... Epson's EcoTank 8550 has gotten pretty glowing reviews. Very very low per-page count. Too early to tell about long term reliability, but looking ok so far! A randomly selected review: https://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2022/10/12/epson-ecota...

I'd been interested in getting something big & expensive like a Canon Pro-1000 but knowing the per page price was also going to be considerable, even more so if you aren't using it constantly (it periodically cleans itself)... It was hard to justify. I haven't bought the ET-8550 yet but the idea has stayed on my mind.
"Those resources don't come out of nowhere, so there is a need for immigration as well to get work done."

Efficiency gains in a process certainly create extra "resources" whatever they might be. But I do applaud you for not saying "we need immigration because we need ethnic food" like most people say nowadays.
Horizons was based on a failed benefits system and it was widely known that the quality of the software team was not good. IIRC it didn't even use ACID transactions, so glitches and power outages could cause big problems. What sort of company would put their Z team on a multi-billion pound contract?
