> so the idea is vertical integration for on-premise server purchases? On custom OS? Why? Why would people pay a premium?

As I understand it, re: vertical integration, the term is actually "hyperconverged". Here, that means it's designed at the level of the rack. Like -- there aren't per compute unit redundant power supplies. There is one DC bus bar conversion for the rack. There is an integrated switch designed by Oxide. There is one company to blame when anything inside the box isn't working.

In addition, the pitch is they're using open source Rust-based firmware for many of the core components (the base board management controller/service processor, and root of trust), and the box presents a cloud like API to provision.

If the problem is: I'm running lots of VMs in the cloud. I'm used to the cloud. I like the way the cloud works, but I need an on-prem cloud, this makes that much easier than other DIY ways to achieve (OMG we need a team of people to build us a cloud...).
So like the fate of the Roanoke colony, the cause of the Tunguska explosion, the Dyatlov Pass incident, the explanation is what's right in front of everyone?

>No one wants that. They want characters and drama and entertainment.

As a child that bought and read dozens of RPG manuals, which I never played, there is obviously a market for both.

I read a lot of fiction, but the setting is usually my top interested, and the plot and characters are mainly a tool to explore it.

There is obviously a spectrum, and markets for different styles.
I think this is the major driver of higher priced cars: people want luxury. In 1970 if your car got 100k miles you had bragging rights despite the car having rust holes and burning almost as much oil as gas. In that world buying a basic new car as smart: it wouldn't last long. These days anyone who would settle for a basic car can buy a use car with more luxury features and it will still be reliable for a long time. As such car makers have to focus on those willing to buy luxury.
The CNCF project, Cloud Custodian fits these sorts of use cases pretty well, and supports periodic or event based triggers.

FWIW, I've found outside of the apple ecosystem that Bluetooth just works. Everything supports pairing to multiple devices. I have a M1 MBP that I sometimes use non-apple Bluetooth headphones with and I can't say it is any different than android or windows.

You will get problems if you buy no-name things from Amazon, but you always get problems when you buy anything no-name off of Amazon.

You will also get problems if you use Linux of course (even with good headphones), but that obviously goes without saying. Yes yes I am sure you can get Bluetooth to work reliably in Linux by just recompiling the kernel and change your alsa config to use jack to remap your output to yada yada yada... No thanks.
SNAP is based on income, so anyone that's properly employed should be making too much money to qualify.

So is this purely a communication problem, or is there a real a wage/hours problem?

If they're offering enough hours and the employee is choosing to be far under full time, then we should phrase things more specifically than "employed".

But if anyone that wants to be full time, or is full time, doesn't meet the income threshold, that sounds like Walmart taking advantage of insufficient worker protection.
How the heck does this work? I thought .onions were essentially a hash of a public key, making finding collisions (or even 1-char near collisions like your example) infeasible. Do both of your example links resolve? If so, how?

I have no doubt that you can find one with similar prefix and/or suffix, but not to the degree of similarity of your example.
I guess I should add that I don't care how useful it is. I basically just need to check a box that says I did a cert this year to help with my performance review.

One piece of good news for Romeo’s search is that there are probably very few other planes anywhere near Howland. An airstrip was built on Howland in the 1930s in anticipation of commercial trans-Pacific flights, but Earhart was going to be the first to actually use it. During the war it was bombed by the Japanese to prevent its use, and that’s the extent of its aviation history. None of the WWII air-sea battles were fought in the vicinity, and it’s much too remote for general aviation planes to ever go near.

I mean - isn't that kinda normal war-on-drugs policy?

The cops aren't interested in helping you test your drugs for adulterants. They'd much rather arrest you, for having drugs.

We may not like it, but it's normal for cops.
So, "fun" tale: the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_191 crash had a new feature, a closed circuit television system that showed passengers the view from the cockpit. They very possibly got to watch their demise first hand from that camera. For that reason, it might never happen again.

Too bad really. So what if you get to watch yourself die horribly, you die either way! You will still be pasta sauce on the other end of the incident, you really shouldn't care. You might have a stronger spike of adrenaline than otherwise, but that's not going to hurt you any more than being pulverized will.
Reading [1] about the regulations, it sounds like the only requirement (for self contained air cleaners) is that it has to be certified, and can't produce ozone. That seems pretty painless, and I would like the comfort of knowing that if I buy an air cleaner, it actually does what it says. Same as masks should have testing requirements to show efficacy.

My opinion is Meta is taking the model out of the secret sauce formula. That leaves hardware and data for training as the barrier to entry. If you don't need to develop your own model then all you need is data and hardware which lowers the barrier to entry. The lower the barrier the more GenAI startups and the more potential data customers for Meta since they certainly have large, curated, datasets for sale.
You also need to include how charged matter affects the forcing fields in Maxwell's equations (i.e. moving charges depositing a current field).

I actually basically agree with your viewpoint, I studied Plasma Physics in graduate school in a regime where we did _not_ use Navier-Stokes or constitutive relations and everything was in fact just little smeared-out packets of charge moving according to the Lorentz Force Law and radiating.
> I might be the only one here in favor of this, and wanting to see a federal rollout.

I'm not American, I think it's perfectly reasonable to ban kids from the internet just by applying the logic used for film classification. Even just the thumbnails for YouTube (some) content can go beyond what I'd expect for a "suitable for all audiences" advert.

This isn't an agreement with the specific logic used for film classification: I also find it really weird how 20th century media classification treated murder perfectly acceptable subject in kids shows while the mere existence of functioning nipples was treated as a sign of the end times (non-functional nipples, i.e. those on men, are apparently fine).

Also, I find it hilariously ironic that Florida also passed the "Stop Social Media Censorship Act". No self-awareness at all.
That would be epic, never even considered this possibility
Micro four thirds (u43) cameras are generally much smaller than DSLRs, and even quite a bit smaller than full-frame MILCs (mostly because the lenses are smaller). Their optical performance isn't as good a full-frame DSLR, but they are close enough to be a good substitute. I have a u43 Olympus E-M5 III, and also a FF Panasonic S5, and although the Panasonic is "better", the Olympus is so much easier to stuff into a bag that it's still my camera of choice most of the time.

I should note that not all u43 cameras are small - Olympus / OM have a top-end "1" model that is large and clunky. But the "5" and "10" models are nice and compact. I think the Panasonics and the Olympus / OM PENs are pretty small too.

There is then a useful range of lenses that lets you trade off performance, zoom range, and size; there are great, tiny primes; decent, tiny zooms; and great, chunkier zooms.

In particular, the Pansonic Lumix G 12-32mm lens is 24 mm long. I can put that on my E-M5 and carry it in a jacket pocket. People have managed to take photos with it:

That discount will not perpetuate infinitely. It facilitates people onboarding to EVs, but it has nothing to do with long-term infrastructure problems on the horizon as this stuff scales up to being the status quo for how people move around.

If you want to. It would be a lot of work. I check input data on the boundary and rely on mypy to tell me when I've made a type error in the interior, and I find that works well enough. Also, see my disclaimers, this stuff isn't really meant to be used how I'm using it; it's meant for static checkers like mypy and I'm just abusing the fact that the interpreter does anything at all with type hints. But if you really wanted to, you could probably write a decorater that would do the same kind of checking I'm doing at the boundary.

I don't necessarily disagree with your conclusion, but take issue with "You never see anybody who is literally too poor to afford shoes". Seems like an odd take, shoes can easily be 100-200 currency, or maybe 20-40 on the extreme cheap end if you get lucky, of course I see people who are literally too poor to afford them. I've been too poor to afford them, it's only because I could put them on an existing credit card that I was able to get any, otherwise I'd be looking for scraps.
> opposition to what?

This is coming from the state that is trying to ban books based on some backwards concern of a white kid feeling bad. (for the record I am white).

I don't care what side of politics you are on... you know what opposition I am talking about. Whether you are for or against it.

> not people concerned with it have an agenda to expose kids to "viewpoints" that their parents would disapprove of.

Yes! Because otherwise the parents are brainwashing their kids into their viewpoint not allowing them to see the real world.

This isn't a hard concept to understand here.

I mean I am liberal and atheist. But even I have wondered if I ever have kids if I don't expose them to the choice of religion if that is brainwashing of its own. I may try to justify it with the harm that religion has caused, but I am still denying my kid another prospective that is different than my own.

Edit:

To clarify here. If this was a state that was not actively removing opposing viewpoints from their libraries and teachings than I may buy that they actually care about their kids. But it's not, it's Florida. The beacon of being scared of their kids knowing anything about the real world and daring to have compassion for someone different than them.
Are YouTube channel RSS feeds now disabled?
Google has historically provided an unofficial endpoint to access an RSS feed of videos for a given YouTube channel, at "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=your_id_here". As of today it seems to be 404. Is this intentional and permanent? If so, it's a loss for the open web, and it seems like a lot of feed readers, website widgets and other tools depending on this endpoint will be unhappy very soon.

Edited to add: looks like this feature is back online now, 21:05 UTC Monday. Glad it was temporary!
Some of the homeless people don't want a home. They don't even want to be in the system, now become someone says that's anecdotal, I'm not saying ALL OF THEM, I'm saying there's a minority of them, who are in fact fugitives, or maybe they just don't want to go back to their old lives due to some trauma or stress. Even so. My point being, you'll never 100% solve homelessness. Some are also dealing with serious mental issues.

I was part of a homeless non-profit for about a year so I got exposure to all sorts of different scenarios. We were able to get some off the street, some literally had relatives who would have given them a home, but they needed to sort through their personal issues first.

You can't fix everyone even with infinite resources unfortunately, I'm not saying that if you can help don't, I'm just saying, I feel like some people think they can end homelessness, we're too far from that.
Another way of reading this is that the regulatory apparatus is finally showing teeth after decades of rampant consolidation.
Thanks a lot! I think I might stick with gnome or pantheon in that case.
People only have to drive because they (either directly or via elected officials) chose to design large swaths of land that were only livable if cars were elevated to the preferred mode of travel. Better infrastructure design (in general, points of interest being built closer together) would obviate something like 90% of car trips.

But being forced to drive was absolutely a choice, and one that, with some effort, can be undone.
When I think of “blameless” I think of “without fault”: https://www.wordnik.com/words/blameless

But when I think of “shared responsibility”, I think of everyone as sharing fault.

When something goes wrong, I think someone, somewhere likely could have mitigated it to some degree. Even if you’re following procedures, you could question the procedure if you don’t fully understand the implications. Sure, that’s a high bar, but I think it’s a preferrable to pointing the finger at the people who wrote the procedures.

On that note, someone or some group being at fault doesn’t necessitate punitive action.
I’d argue the latter would indeed be a challenge for Apple, but also a significant part of the threat toward a country

I don't know what gas prices are like in Canada, but I'd expect about $40 to fill a car of Tesla size in the US. (from empty it might get up to $50). Yes gas is more, but not that much more.

I also expect most people are charging at home for much lower electric rates.

> if anything, curl will only add ones for you.

That's kind of what I mean. E.g. I believe curl will add a Content-Length header, which is good to have, but I don't need every example HTTP call to show me that.

To me a curl call is kind of shorthand for "these are the parts unique to this request, do the appropriate thing for general-use headers". If I see a raw HTTP request missing a Content-Length header (assuming it could use one), I don't know whether to assume that I do the normal thing, or whether the server ignores Content-Length, or perhaps if the server specifically errors out when it's set.

Vice-versa, if a raw HTTP request does have a Content-Length header, I'm not sure if that means it's required or just supported.

If I see a curl call specifying Content-Length, it sets off the "something weird is going on" bells in my head. Nobody specifies that in curl, so it's presence is odd and worth looking at.
I live in Scotland. Do you?

If you don't live here you have no say.

We have a collapsing healthcare, underfunded police force, rapid increase of homeless. Crime increasing.

The police force is spared thin. And if you believe anything the tabloids say about "the police is fine" your a fool to believe so.

Unsure about the entire US... For my area they were called "window fans" in previous times. Before air conditioning was prevalent, you'd use these box fans, placed in the window, to circulate air to provide a more comfortable environment.

In years past, the fans were beefier than the current generation. They also used metal fins. Speaking into one made a vaguely similar effect to speaking Like Darth Vader. It was entertaining as a child.
The question is then whether they actually have enough assets to pay their debts.
Except the article has:

> Sainsburys DID send us a new card with our points back on it after a few weeks, and a thousand or so for the inconvenience.

And at a local shop (not a "customer service assistant" on the phone having to follow a script) people are usually quite helpful, especially when (potential) theft from an employee is involved, which tends to be taken quite seriously.

This is just generic undirected negativity and cynicism.
That's not what that sentence means? To be fair it might be a regional colloquialism?

To rephrase: I understand and appreciate that restaurants have found QR menus to save money and time, so I realize there's a larger context to why these things will likely remain and why I'm willing to put up with them. Restaurants are certainly making a choice in which style of menu they present; I just understand it is a harder choice now with a new local minima for menu preparation cost/time.

Well they aren't burdened by having to make their own processors, like Sun had to do, or their own full custom chips in general. They just have to support the selection of hardware they pick, and they have complete oversight of what hardware runs on their racks. So I'm not sure if the sun comparison is relevant here, since they can still pick top of the line hardware. Just not any hardware
It's been suggested that my poor handwriting could be attributed to some kind of learning disability. It would be interesting to see how I'd be treated if I were in school now, instead of the early 80s.

So I kinda resent their implication that I should have been forced to grapple with a learning disability in the interest of my "neuronal oscillation patterns". I'm certain, however, that my teachers were very grateful when I got my first computer and printer.
Cell used the PowerPC isa as did the Xbox 360. Both were designed in the same IBM facility but separated by a floor. IIRC the Xbox team indirectly learned from the Cell team's mistakes at the process/microarch level.

Cell was definitely more weird to code against and Sony put max theoretical perf above Xbox's approach to be more general purpose chip architecture.
So strictly speaking it wasn't like most PCs at the time in the x86 sense but in the three mostly same cores for Xbox vs custom Cell and special ways to squeeze out performance.

I don't like the metaphor: when I'm tired, I will be alert again later. Quantization is lossy compression: the human equivalent would be more like a traumatic brain injury affecting recall, especially of fine details.

I’ve been quite curious about Cancer since losing my mom to it two years ago. I’m currently infatuated with the idea that Cancer my well be parasites reaching various stages of killing the host.

Parasites, their preferred habitats, diet, chemical excretions, breeding and life cycles in general has been enlightening. Could some seasonal allergies or colds be the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction to parasites… these are the kind of questions I find when not looking.

I guess the biggest question I have is, why if after countless autopsies that confirm the deceased had parasites do we not investigate this subject more? Humans are one of the rare species that don’t receive preventive treatment or screenings for parasites. Cattle, fish, birds, pets, all manner of zoo animals… but not humans?
