Very nice. Why did this mission include a Voyager-style message while others don't (or do they?)?

Anyone besides earthlings who can read the message would come from outside our solar system, so why put the message on Europa instead of the many other possibilities? Why would the interstellar travelers head for Europa? If they master interstellar travel, they could find Earth.
I can't tell if people are desperate or delusional.

> Expecting a company to kowtow to your belief system betrays a conceited/pretentious view of the world around you.

I agree and I would call that delusional.

On the desparate side, the trust in government and faith in the democratic system are in shambles. I'm not even sure a frustrated Google Engineer can see the bottom of the despair issue. People do not believe their local, state, or federal governments can do a anything, particularly for the common good.

Take my hometown, of ~20K, that once had a fully functioning clinic and hospital. About ten years ago, the hospital was rebuilt, much nicer building but only 2 ER rooms and no critical long-term care. I suggested to my brother the town ought to have made approval of the construction dependent on providing essential services. He is smart but that idea didn't even register as a legitimate political concern. He doesn't think the government can do anything, least of all for the public good.

That sentiment is building and it's a vicious, reinforcing cycle. I dearly hope something will change before there is only the faintest hope of change.
I want to see more electric hatchbacks, but is this really a hatchback?
Maybe so, but so what? If a medical professional tells me I should go to the hospital, I'm going to go. I'm not a doctor. I don't know how to diagnose injuries and illnesses beyond a very basic level.
This feels like a trademark question, not a copyright question. Seems like an abuse of DMCA; if only it were easier to ensure companies filing fraudulent DMCA claims end up facing real consequences.
The reason HBM "isn't deterministic" is because the memory controller sometimes stalls reads when doing a refresh operation. It's possible to pause refreshes [1] or schedule refreshes ahead of time to get HBM and DRAM to act deterministic.

To be fair, that's a huge hassle, and I have no clue what level of support commercial HBM controllers have for refresh pausing or manual refresh scheduling. It could very well be impossible to do in practice -- and regardless, their performance numbers speak for themselves :)

Hmm. I'm not sure if this is just a difference between private practice and hospitals, but there is a ton of questions that can and should be serviced by non-physicians (e.g. RNAs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants). Their role in patient care is consistently growing in importance. It's rare for me to send a message through a patient portal and have a physician answer it. It's always someone on the staff.

As per usual, the answer is lawyers. There's a procedure where you can make a claim on a domain and take it over from the current owner... but I'm not sure that "I didn't renew it in time" is a good enough reason. You'll have better luck if this is a commercial related domain and you have some sort of legal claim (ie: trademark) over the name.

A component of this is fear of liability in a highly-litigious environment. Nobody wants to be the one who told someone to wait and see instead of going to the ER, only to have the person wind up dying or suffering serious harm.

This is further exacerbated by the limited safety nets in the US–even people who would on principle deign to sue others who tried to help them in a time of bad luck may find that a lawsuit is the only way they'll be able to maintain a decent lifestyle after the loss of a partner, or with a newfound need for long-term care.

One more layer is the fact that doctors are so overbooked. Many people cannot reasonably get appointments with their family doctor (if they have one) on short notice, so some things that, in the past, might have been a "wait-til-morning then call the GP to drop in same-day" are now "GP is booked three months out, guess we're going to the hospital".
Well, that just makes me want to stop playing Wordle.
Hypothetical or not, it's an interesting question. Assuming that just throwing AGI out into the world (or having anyone else do so) would be dangerous – either because there's a chance of weaponizing it or of AGI taking over –, one would probably try to limit the number of people who get their hands on the technical details to an absolute minimum, so as to delay AGI takeover for as long as possible, hopefully until some guardrails have been implemented, if possible at all. (Also, and I hope this goes without saying, one probably should not give the AGI access to a terminal or the internet.)

OTOH, getting enough people (scientists, companies, governments) to rally behind the goal of developing effective guardrails in as short a time as possible (with enough financial backing) would surely require proving to some of them how powerful the thing you developed is, as well as sharing technical details with them.

And then there will likely also be a number of actors that'd be interested in learning about those details for their own motives.

In short, you will want a group of people you can trust, as much secrecy as possible (for the time being, while you're figuring things out), and likely some decent financial backing if you want to have any hope of preventing this from getting out of hand. The support of a nation state could be useful, albeit dangerous as well.

I guess if found a way to break RSA, the next steps would be much clearer to me, but with AGI… not so much.

Good luck! (Hypothetically, of course)

10-15 years ago the deals were real. I picked up a lot of off-lease and/or used stuff on ebay really cheap. As more and more companies move to cloud, and as more people get into homelabs, prices on decent gear have gone up. I was starting to think the good times were over in 2018 and in 2020 I stopped defaulting to ebay when I saw a great lot getting broken up and sold cheap suddenly pull all their stuff and relist it at much higher prices - "the scrappers are on to us" is what I realized.

These days I've been replacing the guts of my old servers with mini-itx setups for the most part. It does what I need and lets me shove 2 or 3 nodes into a 2u case so I can keep the aesthetic of "a personal rack".
Tech news in general seems kinda anti-tech these days.

The Verge, Arstechnica, etc - their tone is at best highly skeptical about tech, and often downright opposed to it (especially if it's AI).
Frankly, pasta itself is almost certainly fine most of the time, but likely a lot of people's experience of pasta is something like Kraft instant mac and there's a thing about portion sizes, too. My recall of something like basic spaghetti and meatballs as a kid is it tends to be a lot and eat all you want, which ends up being a lot. Whereas if you stick to meat and vegetables, it's very hard to overeat even if enough food is available that you could.

I think some of this ends up being the basis of something like the raw food diet, or the way The Rock has said he eats, which is to never eat anything he actually likes except on cheat days. Enjoyable and cooked foods aren't bad, but if you otherwise can't control yourself, one way to do it is only eat stuff you either don't like or is hard to eat. Even that is largely conflating looking like a model with "health" when they aren't the same thing. When The Rock was a pro wrestler and not an actor, he was noticeably fatter but not to the point that I think it was making any difference in terms of health rather than in terms of his ability to land lead roles in action movies that want you to look like a bodybuilder.

Except they do when airline safety is trending in the news. In 2019, the NTSB registered 40 accidents involving damage to a major air carrier or injury to a passenger. That is about 1 major event every 10 days. It's been 18 days since the last major event (door blowing off).

> they tend to not be well supported by the number

Personal opinion or did you ever talk to anyone investigating these things?

First of all, the fraud is committed by the patient, they're the one submitting the claim to their private insurance without validating it. Secondly, it will always be called a mistake if you object to it. But nobody does because remember, private insurance pays anyway. On top of it once you object and have a few arguments with them you may even find yourself having difficulties to get an appointment if it's a desired doctor with a queue at the door.

There are no numbers because this is not investigated, there just aren't resources for this. Nobody with a private insurance bothers reporting a $5-10 shot they never received and nobody wastes resources to investigate it. I've seen attempts to swindle me out of 5 digit sums of EUR that would have otherwise been blindly paid by the insurance. I actually checked everything, I objected, it was called a system error. I have acquaintances who work with the authorities and they confirmed that even if you find a pattern it's impossible to prove intent, so it never goes further than "we correct the mistake for those who report it".

Politician corruption is basically non-existent, and Al Capone just didn't pay tax. According to the numbers.

You're mixing up two incidents, we now have:

- the 737 MAX8 going into the greenery

- the 777-200 losing a wheel

- the 737 (21yo, not MAX) with an engine fire after takeoff (this sounds bad but can be just bird-rich intake air due to very poor luck)

- the 737-8 rudder servo freeze NTSB report (which is the only thing with actual insights available, the servo involved appears out of spec)

Your simplistic description shows that you don't even know what you're talking about! The ER is for far more than life or death. A broken bone -- no matter how minor -- is a perfectly reasonable reason to visit the ER. Urgent care may work just as well, but there are many reasons why urgent care might not be a great option for people in their circumstances.

Humor it good, but I think, you need just stop and relax and ask your the most important question: why all this happens in such a succession? What can you do to avoid piling mistakes like that in future?

I experienced something like that, and for me it was an urge to act immediately that made me to pile one mistake on top of another. I think it is fight or flight response. I've learned to detect such mental states and to slow myself. Fight of flight response is driven by hormones, so if I manage to show my mind that I'm safe and to keep this mind state for a 10 minutes, then my body cleans up adrenalin with friends from my blood, and I return to a normal mental state, I could think straight, do not make more mistakes than it is normal for me, and so on.

To make myself feel safe I normally try to imagine the worst outcome and accept it like it had happened already. Body tends to overreact to bad events like they are life-threatening, but they aren't. So accepting the worst (which is not a death or even nearly as bad) allows me to spend 10 min drinking tea or talking to a friend, and them I'm me again, not a some panic-stricken idiot.

I wonder how people manage this when their profession requires a fast reaction times, when they have no 10 min to deal with a sudden attack of hormones. Some heuristics and rules of thumb ingrained by a learning, I presume.

I've been entertaining myself lately by reverse engineering Cryo's Dune. I've got all graphics resources (videos, sprites, rooms) decoded, and I have recreated most of the intro (which exercises a good deal of engine).

I also made an interactive Dune globe renderer (in WASM and Rust!): https://thomas.fach-pedersen.net/dune/globe/

It should be pixel accurate to the in-game one, although I haven't validated it lately.

It's very slow going though. The original game was coded in highly optimized idiosyncratic 8086 assembly. It's difficult to read, much more so than compiler-generated machine code from the same era.

However, despite the "intensity", he avoided going into details. That's such a different attitude compared to people today, who would be giving interviews and posting on social media why they hate something at length, how wrong and bad that other thing is, and the person who created it is this and that, etc. I bet if Tolkien knew his private letters would be published for the whole world to see, he might not have even written that letter to start with.
Not surprising. AI models are rapidly evolving and evolve more quickly than HW can keep up.

it's more accurate to characterize LSD as semi-synthetic, just like thebaine derivatives such as hydrocodone, hydromorphone, and oxycodone. it's a simple one or two step transformation from ergot-derived alkaloids.

it seems like MM120 is literally just the "optimal dose" of the tartate salt (the normal salt LSD is co-crystallized with) of LSD in a pill. it doesn't seem like there's any special delivery device, nor is it any sort of prodrug nor is it a deuterated analogue.

Data Contamination and Evaluation Malpractices in Closed-Source LLMs
I may be mistaken, but aren't you the one complaining that "clear" only clears the screen area and not the scroll buffer on libvte terminals? Or are you complaining that a different command on a different operating system does something different than a similar sounding command on another operating system with a command that sounds like it would only clear the screen but actually does clear the scroll buffer, too?

By the way, did you know that up to and including some versions of MS Windows 10 "clear" in Powershell only cleared the screen, as did "cls" in cmd.com. Considering the name, that would actually be what I expect "cls" to do, but I digress. Since some later MS Windows 10 versions or the very least, MS Windows 11, Powershell and cmd.com do clear the screen and the scroll buffer on "clear" or "cls". That's due to newer versions of ConPTY.

Anyway, it was fun digging out this old knowledge. Thank you.

There would be no need hide information from customers if that was true. Their censorship, the fact that Apple desperately wants to hide what they are doing, is very revealing and incriminating.
A company wants to enforce its copyright, etc., fine. That's their right to do so. Although I beg to differ with our copyright laws.

No, what I find objectionable about the NYT games team, such as their spelling bee puzzle, is that they selectively deem certain words not valid responses. Not curse words or words with no redeeming value, but words that are perceived to be derogatory against disadvantaged groups or "offensive". It's like an extension of the hyper sensitive liberal newsroom.

Fine, it's a private organization and their choice. But it reflects in my mind a hijacking of the language by people oversensitized to the point of ridiculousness.

You touch on one of the most annoying things about TSA: the inconsistency. Every airport seems to have slightly different rules, and the agents treat you like an idiot if you don't know theirs. Sorry, Mr. Cop School Reject, I've been to ten other airports this year and none of them did it your way. Even the same airport can vary sometimes. It's impossible to believe the rules are doing any good when each of them is skipped half the time and there's no effect at all.
