However interesting and brag-worthy it might be...laborious orbital rendezvous by a specialist tugboat satellite strikes me as a cost-maximizing / throughput-minimizing strategy for space junk.

Instead, use small sub-orbital interceptor missiles - with "water balloon and firecracker" warheads - to dump near-stationary clouds of water droplets in front of big junk when it's near apogee. It doesn't take much delta-v to drop the perigees of most junk orbits into the atmosphere.
It is very relevant, the whole questionare is about "National Service". They are tricking people into supporting slavery!

> National service is the system of compulsory or voluntary government service, usually military service. Conscription is mandatory national service. The term national service comes from the United Kingdom's National Service Act 1939.
I've been learning a few new CS things recently and honestly I mostly find inverse correlation between cost and quality.

There are books from oreilly and paid MOOC courses that are just padded with lots of unnecessary text or silly "concept definition" quizzes to make them seem worth the price.

And there are excellent free YT video lectures, free books or blog posts.

Andrej's YT videos are one great example. https://course.fast.ai is another.
Also, have a X (formerly Twitter) thread:

Many. I regularly see systems built for "big data", built for scale using "serverless" and some proprietary cloud database (like DynamoDB), storing a few hundred megabytes total. 20 years ago we would've built this on PHP and MySQL and called it a day.

> nobody can stay off their phones for more than 5 minutes

Host something more interactive like board games, or have a faraday cage ready at the entrance for the phones and everyone has agreed to put them in there, or both! We’re all addicted and suffocated by our devices so we have to start carving out air pockets somewhere.
also, my solution is to be the engineer who understands these layers and gets a job to look into them – and it pains me to see that in 95% of the cases people just used whatever was lying on the table and not thought for a second they could go on MDN and find out there is a native API for their purpose.
It can be interpreted more or less literally, depending.

Thing is, while Marx is the originator of that term and concept, the source from which most people are aware of it is actually Lenin/Bolsheviks and their offshoots (Mao etc), and they were very much on the literalist side of that interpretation. But they had to be to do what they wanted - a society run by workers - because they managed to take power in Russia, a country, where 80% of the population were peasants who did not, as a rule, support Bolsheviks (the de facto Russian peasant party was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Revolutionary_Party).

Consequently, when you look at early USSR, it had gems like these in its 1924 Constitution:

"ARTICLE 9. The Congress of Soviets of the USSR is composed of representatives of the urban Soviets and of the Soviets of the urban type, on the basis of one deputy per 25,000 electors, and of representatives of the Congresses of Soviets of the rural districts on the basis of one deputy per 125,000 inhabitants."

That is, rural (peasant) votes were explicitly diluted ~1:5 wrt urban (worker) votes in the Soviet council system. Needless to say, this has very little to do with democracy, but it is a good example of taking "dictatorship of the proletariat" literally.

In my opinion, drawing on my past experience as a teacher in a very impoverished area, there has to be a sliding scale. Facts are facts; my middle school students were expect to learn long division, but many struggled with addition, some even still counting on their fingers.

Phonics, math facts, sentence structure: some of these should be indoctrinated at an early age, so as to enable later on the higher levels of inquiry that represents true intellectual freedom.

On the other hand, you have some people trying to sell "woke kindergarten" aaaand...its not going well for the students and their ability to reach academic goals consistent with early primary school.
That's the abstraction they want you to work with, yes. That doesn't mean it's what is actually happening - at least not in the same way that you're thinking.

As a hint for you, I said "a network", not "the network." You can also look at public presentations about how Nitro works.

if you have people who are effective, allow them some space for fun and intellectual challenge even if it takes a bit away from the workload - if you disregard those human factors something will give up at the end, perhaps catastrophically as efforts are made to add "sexiness" to the core of the mission critical workload

I figure the verification process is pretty expensive.
I doubt it. The entire purpose of an LLM is to make a model that does language (or at least something close enough). It's an easy mistake to name something what you hope it will do instead of what it literally is. Unfortunately, that distinction becomes important later.

It's a similar problem with "AI". Artificial Intelligence does not exist, yet we put that name on all kinds of things. This causes real problems, too: by labeling an LLM "AI", we anthropomorphize it. From then on, the entire narrative is misleading.
FYI the drink station is automated. When a person places an order and it has a soda, the soda machine actually has an automatic chute that drops the correct size cup into a rotating set of cupholders and dispenses the appropriate soda so the humans can be focused on preparing the rest of the order. When it comes time to finalize the order the soda is already in the cup ready to go, just add a lid and include it as part of the order.

There was an airline ad a couple years ago (Singapore??) that made a great joke of this. Airline ads are always full of tiny women in order to make the seats and windows look bigger than reality. The last shot of the commercial was of a stewardess reclining literally inside the window sill, a person who would have been maybe 18" tall, or a window that was 5' tall.
requests-cache [0] is an easy way to do this if using the requests package in python. You can patch requests with

One of the many reasons to never sign up for a service that requires your phone number, or have a special number just for this purpose.
Also, if you forget to open the desktop app for a few weeks, it breaks the link and you have to go get your phone anyway.

And it doesn't show any messages that came in on the phone during that time, so you're missing context and in practice you just have to use the phone for everything anyway.

Signal is one of the great undertakings of our time. And it's one of the last bastions of internet freedom.

A free-to-use global communications platform that doesn't censor, respects user privacy from the ground-up, and is run by a non-profit foundation that is faithfully dedicated to its mission. https://signal.org/bigbrother/.

We should support it. If you haven't already, then consider signing up for a recurring donation to the Signal Foundation. I try to give what I can afford, because I believe that digital freedom is essential for the progress of all humankind, https://signal.org/donate/

Without such projects, our civilization will stagnate and die in darkness.
The nice thing with GitHub, is that it’s literally a search away:

I highly recommend learning how to use it.
It's a lot easier to review Movies then it is Products. A movie is a finite experience, and you have a large frame of reference for comparisons.

At what point do you review the product? You're relationship with the product will change over time, and probably will skew negative as it gets older.

There's also the relative exposure issue. I've seen probably a ~thousand movies in my life but have had like 3 Air Conditioners. I'm barely equipped to say what I thought about LadyBird.
>is that ideological opponents are naturally the Confederates, and thus racists

They are literally, purposely, as it's "their history", flying a damn (historically inaccurate no less!) battle flag of the confederacy! A rebellion that took less time than Game of Thrones the television show!

Seeing as the confederacy was openly about protecting slavery as the SINGULAR issue separating them from the Union, choosing the fly a flag that represents a short rebellion (and open treason) against the US is definitively choosing to represent yourself as a confederate.

Seeing as the confederacy was openly about slavery, and southern US slavery was openly about a broad belief that black people were lesser than white people, and savages that god gave them dominion over, you know, racism, it should not be controversial to call someone flying a confederate flag a racist. That flag represents nothing else.

People who are giddy about doing another Sherman's march sure are weird though. Sherman himself didn't even like it. Arguably it wasn't some all out massacre save for one city that "supposedly" the boys got too roudy with, but he wasn't exactly proud salting the earth so aggressively that you can still see it flying over the area to this day. There are plenty that consider themselves "liberal" or "progressive" even, that happily adopt violence as a means to their chosen end. There's always someone willing to bend their interpretation of reality to a form that "requires" they violently act to be the hero. I wouldn't exactly call the left the originator of this violent rhetoric however. "Democrats should be shot" isn't exactly a rare thing to hear from conservatives in the US, and not in jest, and it is not new.

Perhaps not just any program, but ideally a user could tell the OS that a certain program requires minimal latency across some cores for some duration, or that hardware TCP offload should be prioritized for a server process. Like madvise or fadvise to give the kernel suggestions for optimization, but broader.
We have the Unlimited Plus plan and that comes with Google One, so it seems there's some accounting logic they haven't figured out how to reconcile.
There's definitely a tradeoff when it comes to maintenance effort. You need to make sure your RAID and monitoring works and if a disk fails you need to message support to replace it. In general I've had a great experience with them.

True, but edge case. Spine and fortitude are rare.
Interesting. I worked at Google until January 2021. I see 2019 dates on that PDF, but I wasn't aware of snap when I left. There was some alternate RPC approach (Pony Express, maybe? I get the names mixed up) that claimed 10 µs or so but was advertised as experimental (iirc had some bad failure modes at the time in practice) and was simply unavailable in many of the datacenters I needed to deploy in. Maybe they're two names for the same thing. [edit: oh, yes, starting to actually read the paper now, and: "Through Snap, we created a new communication stack called Pony Express that implements a custom reliable transport and communications API."]

Actual latency with standard Stubby-over-TCP and warmed channels...it's been a while, so I don't remember the number I observed, but I remember it wasn't that much better than 0.5 ms. It was still bad enough that I didn't want to add a tier that would have helped with isolation in a particularly high-reliability system.
What's the difference between "AI-generated cold email" and "spam"?
It's called surveillance _to_ legitimise it.
It depends on whether you want your number to be discoverable. In either case, they'll only have one chat, with your username.
Manufactures are very good at cost cutting / value engineering. A friend bought multiple low end hisense panels for business bought over multiple years, basically same 50inch model from costco, but each year the hardware gets noticably revised. Thinner legs, 4 buttons replaced by single 5 way switch, a mold change to remove a few extra square cm of plastic etc. No idea what was going on inside.
Thanks for answering the one question tells me whether I need to try Gemini!
I think if you already are paying for google drive / gmail / google photos storage < 2TB this also means they'll comp you 2 months of that, since this includes it, so in essence, signing up for this trial will save you money.

I'll find out next billing cycle, but it'd be pretty misleading otherwise, and they'd obviously be incentivized to hook you in with the dark pattern of "auto renewing free trial subscription"
I would say there's more than "some" creep. Think about how Uber and AirBnB use ratings to punish some customers, or how algorithmic pricing works, it's using similar concepts. If the objection is that these are paid services so it's still a financial transaction, my counter would be that in the US goods and services are overwhelmingly provided by commercial interests, because that's how the socioeconomic system works here. Even most services associated with governments are outsourced or provided through public/private partnerships.

This. Just silo the monolith out into tenants.

Salesforce, not exactly a small monolith company, did this for a very very long time.
The estimates vary but China has ~60 million empty homes/apartments which is vastly larger than the US homeless population which runs ~0.6 million people each year when you include people living in temporary housing.

There’s many ways to slice these numbers but it’s not even vaguely close.

I think the Signal devs hadn't thought this through at all and just blindly copied what Telegram was already doing thinking it must be cool and trendy with the masses, without understanding their core user base at all.

Same with prioritizing stories, stickers and crypto payments as core features of Signal when that's not what most of their users care for. Meanwhile there's still no official way to port your existing chat history on PC and iOS to your new device, or support for Android tablets. Obviously, stickers are more important.
This is a feature not a bug in questionnaire campaigns.
My friend went onto Hetzner for the performance/price, unfortunately the machines drive died within 2 months iirc. Seems like if you're buying on auction you'll get a wiped drive and if you're unlucky it's been written to a lot already, don't remember the specifics but he really wasn't a happy customer afterwards.

I think the last sentence you have there is pertient though, maybe don't go for Hetzner unless you can also afford to have a hot-spare (but for the performance/price you probably can compared to any public cloud). In my friends case he was boot-strapping but needed the CPU so he was really penny pinching.
I think some of the most useful apps will involve combining this level of AI with traditional algorithms. I've written lots of code using the OpenAI APIs and I look forward to seeing what can be done here. If you type, "How has management's approach to comp changed over the past five years?" it would be neat to see an app generate the greps needed to find the appropriate documents and then feed them back into the LLM to answer the question.
It is privacy with respect to government surveillance and the like. Not the kind where you mistrust your contacts.
Reality is that facebook hit the jackpot of era of digitisation of social groups.
Which means groups are online now, but also extremely radicalised (politically).
Tiktok algo knows what stuff to show you and what stuff you will never ever see, because you are from a different social group (but cat videos would be shown to anyone).

IG was showing you stuff from people you follow, but it does not work anymore, once people start posting controversial opinions (which they do, once they use TikTok long enough, because the algo pushes radical opinions to the top, they catch attention).

Offline groups would have to be less radical for its members, because of fear of rejection from a group. So, the answer is "there is nothing to digitise, the only way to go: A. build offline groups - nobody wants it. B. Do the same as Facebook/Twitter/Reddit - but good luck competing).

If the old way of Facebook worked, FB would use the old way.
I would start with the LBA format, which is likely to be suboptimal for compatibility.
It took a decade to find the data to show that this decision we made 10 years ago was bad - for those entire 10 years we all thought it was good until we we looking at a performance issue and realized the roots case what a decision made in the early days had an unexpected side effect.
> Your pipe has to be big enough for all of it.

What do you mean by "pipe" here? It's easier to share CPU and network bandwidth across monolith threads than it is across microservice instances. (In fact, that is the entire premise of virtualization - a VM host is basically a way to turn lots of disparate services into a monolith.)
Ironically, it's exactly because a generation grew up with the MCU films—and very little else—during Hollywood's "down" period that they're unable to contextualize and evaluate those films on their lack of critical merits.

> And when you grow up you'll develop some more critical thinking and may appreciate older or newer things.

Your argumentation is just as childish as your taste.
> Now picture what would have happened if we had been willing to do challenge trials early on for COVID.

Nothing much most likely. The mRNA vaccines were designed very rapidly after the virus itself had been sequenced. The thing that took time was moving through the different trial phases. Given that there was more than enough spread of the virus in the wild, deliberately exposing people might have shaved off a few weeks at most.

But the real bottleneck afterwards was production and roll-out of the vaccines anyway. So realistically, challenge trials would not have had any meaningful impact.
Last I checked, Linux splits up massive IO requests like that before sending them to the disk. But there's no benefit to splitting a sequential IO request all the way down to 4kB.
many many people can and do and correctly deny that "many critics of Israel" "weaponize antisemitism against Israel". Lots of weasel words on that post! Which just so happen to themselves de-legitimize very necessary criticism of both Zionism writ large and Israel itself! And calls to "globalize the Intifadah" are overwhelming about a popular revolution you know nothing about but love to post about with some very racist certainty. The intifadah was a popular revolution that caught much of the self anointed Palestinian leadership by surprise, and has been consistently criticized for selling it (the popular organizing committees) out for Oslo. This isn't particularly hidden and isn't some kind of wild take but in fact quite well understood outside of a media landscape that endlessly portrays all attempts at Palestinian self-determination as necessarily violent. I suggest maybe taking a step back from these threads, you are very clearly speaking about a thing you don't understand while and ongoing campaign of mass murder is being conducted and you are defending the murdering. That isn't a value statement, whatever downvoters may feel, its a fact.
> Or is it people who are on fringes/deep into gaming, breaking out into social use?

This one, mostly. Discord has the "cringe" (or at least, silly/quaint/unprofessional, take your pick) "uwu Gamer" feel because that was its target demographic when it launched and is probably still its "home base". It's broken into more social uses by a wide variety of social groups (especially younger generations who like the silly Discord is for Gamers theming in a weird post-ironic way, because it is just memes all the way down; social groups built around group chats of memes can laugh about the silly gamer memes, too).
