The line between reasonable responsibiliy and unreasonable responsibility is subjective and blurry. We can generally agree it's my responsibility to not waste my life savings on novelty mugs, but it's not my responsibility to keep my money in an armored vault at home in case a burgler breaks in and tries to steal it.

Laws exist to protect people from bad actors so our time and efforts can be better spent on things that are valuable to us and society.

Is 30 minutes a month an unreasonable responsibility to protect against companies taking advantage of people with unutilized subscriptions? Should the law be updated to enable people to save people that time and effort? Maybe. I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to at least consider.
The article says we would need 700k, but clearly the idea is that 22m acres of land are permitted to have solar, not that 22m acres of land will all have solar deployed. As the article says, this gives maximum flexibility.

For example 700k acres in one spot would not be ideal as transmission losses to other regions would be significant, so we need more possible space to allow distributed production.

It's not worker protections that will help. They will just end up incentivising industry to move elsewhere. The problem is it's too hard to set up competitors. Competitors are what raise employees' standards of living, far higher than vote-winning legislation.

I wish someone would try to scale the nodes down. The system described here is ~300W/node for 10 disks/node, so 30W or so per disk. That’s a fair amount of overhead, and it also requires quite a lot of storage to get any redundancy at all.

I bet some engineering effort could divide the whole thing by 10. Build a tiny SBC with 4 PCIe lanes for NVMe, 2x10GbE (as two SFP+ sockets), and a just-fast-enough ARM or RISC-V CPU. Perhaps an eMMC chip or SD slot for boot.

This could scale down to just a few nodes, and it reduces the exposure to a single failure taking out 10 disks at a time.

I bet a lot of copies of this system could fit in a 4U enclosure. Optionally the same enclosure could contain two entirely independent switches to aggregate the internal nodes.

>"I think for us it is important for us to protect our IP. There is a lot of IP that we've built in the inks of the printers, in the printers themselves. And what we are doing is when we identify cartridges that are violating our IP, we stop the printers from work[ing]."

That's barely coherent...

>"We have seen that you can embed viruses into cartridges, through the cartridge go to the printer, from the printer go to the network, so it can create many more problems for customers."

Remind me whos idea was it to have any sort of electronics in cartridges? Ah yes the printer industry trying to coerce their victims eh clients into reduced choice and monopoly control of supplies.

I’ve ran Ceph in my home lab since Jewel (~8 years ago). Currently up to 70TB storage on a single node. Have been pretty successful vertically scaling, but will have to add a 2nd node here in a bit.

Ceph isn’t the fastest, but it’s incredibly resilient and scalable. Haven’t needed any crazy hardware requirements, just ram and an i7.
It's about 35 billion turtles in area. Hope that helps!
I'm proud to say I've never bought any HP product and never will. You can often pick up a laser printer for 75 bucks and use it until the toner runs out. Then chuck it and buy another, which is what I've done for years.
For the same reason you would use one in enterprise deployments: if setup properly, it's easier to scale. You don't need to invest in a huge storage server upfront, but could build it out as needed with cheap nodes. Assuming it works painlessly as a single node filesystem, of which I'm not yet convinced if the existing solutions do.
You can't feed microbes the surplus energy from your wind or solar farm, though.
Presumably this is opening up that much land for potential use, not putting diggers on the ground to start setting up panels tomorrow.

The next phases will be deciding where to actually put individual farms.
I have never been as productive as I was when I had (the terminals for) two of these babies on the desks in my office. I can't imagine how much they must have cost in 1985, much less in today's dollars.

I do remember each had 8 MW of memory (40 bits IIRC, 36 bit word + 4 bits of ECC) and one of them had a color display (!!!) in addition to the regular monitor.

And apart from the hardware cost, the machines themselves were in a machine room with coax and data run to my office.
Bitcoin or training&inference farms, so you’d need only an internet fiber (or even just wireless/satellite) connection.
I recently retired my Quest 2 in favor of a Pimax Crystal QLED. The resolution is superb, and it's well-suited to my primary use case (gaming/flight sim), but I will say that the one app that I miss from my Quest 2 is Immersed. I _really_ wish I could use my Crystal for productivity, but I've found no other virtual desktop app on any platform that can compete with Immersed.

You are correct, Czechia is a parliamentary democracy. Usually, the government is formed by the parties that together have a legislative majority in the lesser chamber.

I should clarify that this is not a law, rather a "government decision" (a la "executive order") on how to act on it's law. Forgive me, I'm not well versed in legal English, and the systems are quite different.
The Vision Pro is hardly differentiated from the top end Meta VR model. There are a few UX enhancements, and I think they'll take the lead in the space eventually. But I wouldn't say this is a big innovation in the VR space from what I've seen.

I have an HP color laser and I have no complaints. HP M281cdw. I doubt they make it anymore though because they discontinue these things quickly.

Works from Windows, Mac, Linux, Airprint, iPad, iPhone, etc. No driver installs needed. I use it from the command line on Mac - I use groff - and it prints those PDF or PostScript files without issue, though oddly the duplexer works from the command line only if I use a generic PostScript driver.

I use only genuine HP supplies because I know of no other reputable supplies vendor, so I can't say whether non-HP supplies work.
The easiest one to focus on is public speaking as most people are more afraid of this than death (National Social Anxiety Center (NSAC)).

The model numbers dont have anything to do with age in general, they were supposed to refer to tht type of aircraft but when Boeing was feeling confident it would give its future jets bigger numbers to imply improvement or advancement but then when the newer jets started having issues they would adopt modifications of older naming schemes to reassure customers. Over the years that left the whole scheme in tatters.

"An IBM employee ...described the enforced return-to-office policy as "attrition by design," noting that the IT giant would have to spend some money to relocate and promote lower-band (younger) employees but would save money overall by shedding more experienced, more expensive workers."

Nice.

On paper, 22M acres is enough room for 1.78 TW annualised over a year[0], which is about 61% of current global electricity demand.

I doubt they'll get close to filling this land up with PV, but perhaps at least making this much available will reduce the rate at which people ask how much land PV needs to take up.

I'm watching for these countrues to open up immigration. China will have more than enough internal migration to last for a very long time.

But Korea, via its new digital nomad and culture visas seems to be opening up. If current trends presist we're headed towards a future where people from high population growth countries end up immigrating.

I actually don't see this as a problem. The world is full of willing workers. They might just need a visa
They're charging you about $0.10 per page. That's an insane markup, especially if it doesn't include the paper.

What happens when the heads dry out, the printer stops working, or they decide to drop windows device driver support? Do they mail you replacement hardware? I've had at least one of those things happen every year or two with 100% of the inkjets I've owned, regardless of brand, but especially with HPs.

Fair point. It is ultimately CEO's responsibility to shape a company's culture, as culture is really just "who gets rewarded and who gets punished". After a CEO steps down, it will be hard to uphold the same standards, for good or for bad, at the highest level.
I'm waking a bit of a zombie thread because unfortunately I had to step away when this was re-uploaded, but I have to resoundingly agree with you. The overuse of pandas is quite painful.

For what it's worth, here's my defense: The data in this neat CSV actually came from simulations that were dumping Parquet files on the order of 100s of GiBs, which was the reason I was using pandas in the first place. This code snippet was lifted from a processing pipeline where pandas was used for other reasons, but I admit, it probably would have been best to break it out into its own little file and not include the module at all.

> glusterfs is still fine as long as you know what you are going into.

Does that include storage volumes for databases? I was using glusterFS as a way to scale my swarm cluster horizontally and I am reasonably sure that it corrupted one database to the point I lost more than a few hours of data. I was quite satisfied with the setup until I hit that.

I know that I am considered crazy for sticking with Docker Swarm until now, but aside from this lingering issue with how to manage stateful services, I've honestly don't feel the need to move yet to k8s. My clusters is ~10 nodes running < 30 stacks and it's not like I have tens of people working with me on it.
Google glass was ahead of its time. And was creepy with its recording ability and other features it launched with. Also, it was only a display for an attached phone for the most part. It couldn't really do anything.

I don't disagree with you, but lots of people do not take charge of their financial health simply because they do not know any better, or are too trusting to entities that will loan them money. And they are that way likely because their parents were that way too.

A common thing I hear when talking about things like the student loan crisis and the housing market crash of the late 2000s is "well no one forced them to take out those loans" or "I took out a loan and I paid it off, why can't they?" But when it's as prevalent an issue that more than half of undergrad students in the U.S. are in debt, and the fact that poor people taking out subprime mortgages just so they can have somewhere to live can cause a global financial disaster, it starts making me think -- yeah maybe it is the "government's fault". Maybe us smart people on the top have to understand not everyone is as smart as us, and we have to build a system that works for all the truly clueless folk.
I don't think that's their business model.

I would never use Claude for personal use. However, my employer wants to make sure nothing reputation-harming happens. That's a lot more important than model quality; everything is light years ahead of where we were four years ago. For a lot of applications which face customers / citizens / students / ..., NEVER screwing up is a lot more important than quality.

For my own use, I prefer interacting with soul, humanity, attitude, and edge.

For my employer's use, it's different.

I think there's space for both. As an investor, I'd be bullish on both Anthropic and something with no safety built in. I'd be a lot less bullish on what's in between.

Ceph is sort of a storage all-in-one: it provides object storage, block storage, and network file storage. May I ask, which of these are you using seaweedfs for? Is it as performant as Ceph claims to be?
Haven't read this, but based on looking through the table of contents (so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt), I agree with your choice. You mentioned that you've been programming for awhile, you might have heard of Grady Booch and "Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications." Object oriented techniques has fallen a little out of fashion now, which may be part of the reason why this book isn't as popular, but it was big around 20 years ago. It also discusses on the many topics of your choice:
- Complexity, what it is and how to manage it
- Encapsulation (Information Hiding).
- Interfaces - contracts for your encapsulated code
- Abstraction

And am certain that Grady Booch's book was itself mostly based on older material.

I also really like any really good book on doing requirements (they all have 80% of the same info). Getting the true needs of all your stakeholders (your users, the business people, the devs themselves, and the technical needs of the system) is probably the step that is done the poorest in most organizations, and the one that could save project the most time and money if done well.
Here is some of the feedback. In terms of bot protection you would get a 1/10. Perhaps, a 2/10 on a good day.

First, your payload is being sent using base64 encoded using the default alphabet. You only need a simple atob() to decrypt your payload.

Second of all, your bot detection script is very readable making the job of the attacker relatively easy to reverse.

Third, but not least, you do not have enough signals/fingerprints which means that your false positives are going to sky-rocket.

Bots are not dumb, they are programmed by real humans, your site is extremely easy to reverse. You need to add more obfuscation, more signals, better client-side protection in order to quality for real "bot detection".

Source: I reverse antibots for fun and profit, is literally all I've been doing for the past 2 years straight.
Hopefully the Brother printer is not connected to power outlet which is connected to an AFCI circuit breaker because it will trip it all the time. I had to move mine to a different part of the house for that reason.
For comparison:

"Of the ~92 million acres of corn planted in the US each year, roughly 40 million acres (1.6% of the nation’s land) are primarily used to feed cars and raise the octane of gasoline. If this land were repurposed with solar power, it could provide around three and a half times the electricity needs of the United States, equivalent to nearly eight times the energy that would be needed to power all of the nation’s passenger vehicles were they electrified.

However, if we were to transition this 40 million acres are of fuel to solar+food (agrivoltaics) – we could still meet 100% of our electricity needs, and power a nationwide fleet of electric vehicles."

(solar panels produce roughly 200 times more energy per acre than corn)

That's surprising. (More developer anecdata: https://duncsand.medium.com/is-apples-cheapest-macbook-good-...)

Still, I'd absolutely recommend that devs and other creators spend the extra $200 for 16GB. And yes, it's outrageously priced in comparison to buying matched sticks for your PC.
I've been driving a Chevrolet Bolt EUV since mine was delivered in April, 2023. For the first six weeks, I avoided One-Pedal Driving since I thought it might impair me driving a regular car.

I switched to using OPD and I can't imagine going back. When I was younger, I drove only manual transmission cars and liked the feeling of being integrated with the car that shifting gears gave me. In the US, that's left hand on the wheel, right hand on the gear knob, left foot on the clutch, and right foot on the gas or brake.

At the time, I believed that only people using a manual were "drivers", everybody else was a "steerer". OPD only uses one foot and one or two hands on the wheel but for me, the feeling is somewhat similar to the manual as the car reacts quickly to my right foot.

I use adaptive cruise control a lot, even on city streets. My ICE cars would not let me set cruise control below 25MPH but the Bolt lets me set it at anything I want. That (presumably) gets me around the issue of not being able to coast - on cruise control, the car will coast when it wants, accelerates when it wants, use re-gen when it wants.

I think their approach is unique. They are branding it as a replacement for your computer. The one and only device you need to be productive. And don't underestimate the value of not needing controllers.
Will you have the choice?

More seriously, we create objects for us. We don’t have to cater for the feelings of a bigger AI. And maybe that bigger AI will have time to speak with those who need a human presence (to everyone using TV as a background noise, or watching Youtube out of solitude).
Yes! There is a Staples near my house with a print center. Their prices for a job I needed done were so exorbitant that I bought a printer/scanner from the same store and broke even almost immediately. I have not returned to the store since. Their business model is pretty flawed when they sell something at low margin which makes the high margin thing they're selling obsolete.

Loathe as I am to be in any way sympathetic to Amazon, I have to ask: what's the right thing that should have happened?

It's pretty standard that in a fire you leave the building and assemble in some safe location. The only fire drills I've done have been in school, in clement weather, and we assembled in the parking lot away enough from the buildings that the fire wouldn't affect us, we wouldn't be in the way of firefighters and away from the road.

But when it's cold: what provisions should be made to ensure the assembly point is a "safe location"? It's reasonable to assume people will evacuate without jackets or anything.

I don't know the answer, but perhaps someone who's been in a fire drill in a cold climate can explain.
I feel like a lot of entertainment acts have elements of that. Crowd work is an important part of many routines.
