Yes, to both. P4 itself is solid, but it's a very chatty protocol and is very latency sensitive. Running a master in the us, with clients in europe is painful for everyone involved. Replicas and edge servers come with other tradeoffs too.

As a developer, doing things like "I only want this subtree of the stream" is hard. Virtual streams exist, but they have a (non-negligible) overhead on the server. It has some quirks due to it being 30 years old which make it... interesting, to work with sometimes.

> On the other hand, is that even necessary? At what scale is this important?

That's the critical question. To that I had that there might be a myriad of articles on how someone used postgres to build a message queue instead of using a dedicated message broker, but there isn't a single article showing any form of benchmarking, performance tests, load test results, and more importantly report the correlation between load and performance degradation and eventual overload and resulting failure modes. This information is of critical importance to be able to design systems and pick which tool is suited for the job.
That's a great argument for the government to seize both SpaceX and StarLink.
the assumption that time dilation is identical for the same acceleration profiles is equivalent to an assumption of the 1 way speed of light. if you do the full math with a non constant light speed, you find that degree of asymmetry in the 1 way speed of light directly cancels the difference in time dilation

Do you mean reasonable as in "Here is cost of manufacture, our margin for selling this to you, plus any other costs incurred." or "We want cheap and we want it now!"?

Personally, as someone who appreciates having the possibility to repair something, I'm happy so long as I can buy first-party parts at all. If I want or need to repair something, the cost is ultimately irrelevant.
Has anybody actually tried to program as these serverless / microservices articles propose ? Having a collection of lambdas orchestrated by infrastructure as code ?

>The other medication you mention is known, studied, affordable. Comparing insulin to Ozempic is .. well, a non-comparison in my book.

Ozempic is literally a drug for diabetes. We're already prescribing this to people with the expectation they will be on it for life.

>something that you can treat with a life style change and some inconvenience in the beginning

We have people in this very discussion who are also morally opposed to Ozempic describing how keeping their weight is a decades long daily struggle. That doesn't sound like "some inconvenience in the beginning". We also have decades of research (and the reality of the world we live in) suggesting to us that "lifestyle change and some inconvenience" is not working as a treatment.

We have an idea, from our own vantage, that if it is not illegal capitalism will inevitably try to monetize - but what if that's not true. What if every company decides, no we don't want to be associated with that business.

So then somebody who does want to be associated starts doing it, but what if they want to be associated because they've done the drug. Maybe they want to make the drug, have access to the drug, sell the drug, but not do all those other business bits like keep track of monetary flow and pay taxes.

It's not illegal to sell the drug, but they are essentially incapable of selling the drug legally.

Not saying that's the case - just saying it's not impossible in the uptight 50s for it to have been the case.

Reading some of the comments here, this is only a significant point if your language/tooling makes building non-trivial (and/or slow). For example, for Go it is insignificant whether the source project provides builds because building is so straightforward, fast, and even cross-platform. A lot of Go tools don't ship builds because you can just `go install` and be faster than navigating a web UI, clicking a Download link, and saving it into your PATH.
Completely agree that this is a global thing. The Anglosphere housing crisis does seem special to a particular kind of colonial development pattern. But TFR is below replacement anywhere that has developed past poverty. Woke Canada and manly-manly Hungary are in the same boat.

But I'll push back on one thing: who is this mysterious "you" people keep talking to? There is no single "Canadian" whose interests represent the whole.

There are LOTS of people who are doing well from the current housing crisis -- landlords, real estate agents, homeowners, construction trades, the Family Compact, etc. Landlords have perfected the rennoviction sneak past rent-control. They love the crisis. Our mayor in 2000 was a (small-time crooked) furniture dealer. Immigrants buy furniture. Our last mayor worked for a monopoly cable company - every new immigrant needs a phone/tv/internet package. The Westons (grocery barons) basically make money from every new body in Canada. All of them know that more immigration = more money in their pocket.

It's been hell on young people, but you might notice they aren't running the show.
You mean the Waymo cars that are bristling with dozens of cameras and sensors? The Waymo service where I immediately contacted Support and informed them, so they could recall the vehicle or have it meet a worker who could search it? Dunno, dude.
> expand coverage to other countries, much of which will come at the expense of local carriers in those countries

This would require AT&T to acquire local spectrum, since they (to my knowledge) don't any global spectrum.

And at that point, it seems to make much more sense for a local carrier to partner with AST instead, since they'd be able to serve almost everybody using their existing terrestrial coverage and would need to use the satellites only to fill in the gaps.

> Starlink themselves might lose a few customers to AT&T but not as much as the profit on the launch contract, so why do they want to stop it?

Theoretically they could try to keep competing satellite operators out of the direct-to-cell market for as long as possible. Being able to set the price for that for all operators in a country as the only seller sounds extremely beneficial in the short term.

But that would inevitably attract both space launch competitors and antitrust regulators around the globe, which might ultimately be worse for SpaceX.

Yes, this appear to be an extremely strong effect. I usually phrase it as "you get what you give".
> The only way it gets fixed is if consumers start to care and start basing their purchases at least partially on repairability (including price). And that kind of culture shift is hard.

It is not technically hard. Just hit new goods with a sufficient tax such that buyers have no choice but to start caring about longevity and repairability.

Of course, it is practically impossible since people like being able to buy more stuff.

To be a bit more precise: the borrow checker does not change the code generation part of the compiler. If you modified rustc to skip borrow checking, and you passed it a valid Rust program, you would get identical output.

However, that doesn't mean that you can disregard the semantic rules that it enforces. It is "involved in compilation" in that sense. Even when writing unsafe code, you are expected to keep up the invariants that the language requires, and the rules of the borrow checker are one part of those invariants.
(In support of your point about QM:)

To contrast with an example of where quantum mechanics is relevant at the level of biology--this is one I'm familiar with:

Unfortunately I'm not finding anything related to anesthesia except for hand-wavy pieces about "quantum consciousness" (anyone, please do correct me with a link or two if I'm wrong). I blame Sir Roger Penrose, if only because him talking speculatively about it (even in a sophisticated, informed way) seems to give so many others leeway to speak far more casually about the same topic, with far less coherence.

> Python, Java, C++: it's all code

That is rather my point, which I perhaps expressed in too ironic a mode: when people newly discovering the capabilities of LLMs worry about the idea of machines writing code for us, I think they are missing historical perspective, in which we can clearly see layer after layer of machines writing code for us. Whatever mature form LLM-driven tools may take, operating them will ultimately be just another form of coding.
Exactly right! there are a whole lot of after-market part suppliers for major appliances like dishwashers, laundry washing machines etc. Some of them have a parts list and assembly schematic hidden in the machine.
One interesting application of taking the value appearing in majority, or more generally taking the median, is to remove noise or people from a sequence of several photos taken from the same point of view. This idea is to superimpose all the photos, and for each pixel, you simply keep the median [1].

I found this to be interesting because it’s just such an outlier when it comes to cast bells. More than twice as heavy as the next heaviest, which itself is an outlier (and a modern creation). Could it really have been so huge, so long ago? Could we really find it in the bottom of a river? Pretty cool. Sounds like a Clive Cussler novel!

Devil’s advocate: is it possible that Robux teach children to contribute financially to the ecosystem’s they participate in? FOSS is famously not “free-as-in-beer” yet we have created the expectation that virtual goods including software do not have financial value.

This is the most common response I see online.

Someone says, "It sucks that X doesn't do Y" and invariably someone pops up to say, "Dedicate your life to solving this problem for yourself. I don't know and could not be forced to care if making X do Y is something you are qualified to do or have the skillset for. Here's were you can go to start finding out what world of misery you have created for yourself under my careful guidance."

Making a statement about X not doing Y is not a complaint, it's not a request for others to do work. It's not an order from a disgruntled customer.

It's the people stating a want, that is all. If enough people agree, then the right people might make that a reality, that is all.

Not every critic is necessarily a good filmmaker.

There are often third-party spare parts.

Some of the plastic parts on my decades old Cuisinart food processor have started to go but the motor is still great. But Cuisinart doesn't make the parts for what is almost a 50 year old appliance at this point. I was able to buy 3rd party parts for too much money but they don't fit quite right. I make do as it's not something I use that often and can make it work.
"The LSD movement was started by the CIA. I wouldn't be here now without the foresight of CIA scientists." -- Timothy Leary

Subproject 6 of MK-ULTRA involved funding Eli Lilly to develop its own synthesis of LSD. The CIA embarked on this to ensure an adequate supply after finding that Sandoz had produced only 40 grams total of LSD. After Lilly succeeded, the CIA became the main customer, and via various other subprojects funded and supplied researchers that experimented with LSD.

In particular, many counterculture figures first encountered LSD as subjects of CIA-backed experiments, including Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg, and Grateful dead lyricist Robert Hunter.

Timothy Leary himself was one step removed, being introduced to psychedelics by a fellow Harvard researcher whose research into magic mushrooms was CIA-funded.

[this is all discussed in Kinzer's "Poisoner in Chief"]

Without the CIA it might have taken decades longer.

I think it solves a very specific set of problems that most people probably don't have.

For example, if scaling various parts of your application independently is a hard requirement, you're going to want to follow some set of these practices. Otherwise you're probably not going to see any practical benefits relative to the additional complexity.

Another issue with this is that the part that fails often is poorly designed or not durable in the first place. So you spend money and time to replace it and then it will just fail again. Zero incentive to improve the part by the manufacturer. I think the solution is requiring manufacturers to sell warranties that cover full labor and materials or replacement. Then at least you could see if a manufacturer selling something cheaply has a very high “full warranty” price, it’s likely because it has a high failure rate. This would be the only way to incentivize fewer failures and repairs.
Well, sure. I was thinking of stations that are a few tens of km apart on a flat region of Earth, so I don't think that would be much of an issue.

I didn't downvote you but it's easy to blame money/greed than the overt encouragememt and endorsement of Boeing's domestic monopoly by a litany of power players both in gov and most importantly, private players directly feeding into gov / other major corporate decision making.

Boeing gets to do what it wants (like bypassing approval processes) because it's the only player in town. Even after the worst possible QC embarassement, and a massive financial loss few other companies could eat, they still have lots of orders for MAX because of that near monopoly. Largely supported by their OTHET convienient near monopoly in a few markets the US gov also actively encourages, to an even worse degree.

Airbus might be good competition in a narrow sense but only because having one is worse than just two. There should have been market players getting a bunch of capital to compete with them long ago but I guess there are market and regulatory barriers that have made that untenable.

The failures, blatant regulatory capture, and complete lack of real alternatives can be hand waved by reducing it to "money" (to a few) but if anything theres a lot more money to be made if the US had a wide selection of better planes, that aren't grounded for 2yrs, with greater global market demand and old planes getting replaced sooner by much faster by more powerful and enfficent ones.

We as a society (EU too) give space, national defence, and aeronautics basically an unchecked green light for this type of behaviour constantly for so thin rationale about domestic security needs and "but it's complicated and expensive", as if America and the west can't do better.

I mean, this is a press release way of saying they're removing Strict fingerprinting protection, not that it's being simplified.

That said, I get it. I have all the fingerprint protection stuff turned on in Firefox, and it breaks a lot of sites. In fact, it hurts the UX of most of the sites I use a lot, and completely breaks a lot of them. There are some critical websites where I just have to load up Chrome if I'm going to use them at all.

And their point about it being self-defeating if so few people use fingerprinting protection that you can more easily identify them uniquely by the fact that they use it. I've wondered about that myself.

So I think it's cool to get rid of it in their browser, and I like their explanation of the reasoning, I just don't like the weasel-word "simplify" to describe it.
