I never said "this will never happen". I said "I don't see this happening". There's a rather crucial difference between these two. The former is a prediction about the future; the latter is an observation of the current trajectory.

Example: Imagine you've dropped out of college, and your mom says that she doesn't see you getting a well-paying job. That doesn't mean she believes you're a lost cause, it just means she believes (whether rightly or wrongly; that's beside the point here) that you need to change course. i.e. she believes you need to stop believing you're on the right path, and that you instead need to finish your studies.

To bring the analogy back to R2R: almost much every R2R bill in the US that I've seen so far has been severely crippled by special interests (sometimes at the 11th hour), while conceding just enough (e.g., letting consumers replace a battery just a little less painfully) to make people feel like they're winning a war that they're actually losing pretty hard. So the point here was to make people aware that (I [and others] believe that) the current trajectory isn't very promising as far as reaching their goals, and needs to change.

1. China was originally a significant importer of goods from Russia. Over the past two years, due to the lower oil prices from Russia, the import volume has increased by 30%.
2. The total purchasing amount from the European Union and India surpasses that of China, with no single entity making significant purchases of Russian energy.
3. Perhaps you should look into the historical records of energy procurement by India. In 2021, trade with Russia was essentially negligible, but it now constitutes 36%. The main financier behind the scenes should be clearer now.
The analogy to an OS was supposed to be an analogy. No one who understands LLMs or OSs actually thinks there should be an "LLM OS" or anything of that nature.

I think you and I can agree that the Establishment Clause is often read over-broadly, but the First Amendment is a list of prohibitions on Congress.

Quoting the relevant part here:

> Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

So reinterpreting that in modern words: Congress shall not establish a Church of the United States and Congress shall not govern religion. The phrasing comes from Jefferson, and you are right that it is ex post facto the Constitution, but the idea is very Puritan and Jefferson himself was referencing Roger Williams (who established the first Baptist Church in America over 150 years prior) and his idealistic "Wall of Separation"[1]. Even restating the establishment clause with terminology, I can't read it any other way but as a conceptual separation of Church and State. The language does not need to be literal to have this effect.

Your quote from Adams doesn't contradict this either because it reads like an assumption that the Constitution does not need to do more than this to address religion because the American people are already moral and religious, therefore to the extent that it does so, it is adequate, but it would not necessarily work well for a different people.

He wasted a fantastic amount of the court’s time and various people’s time and money which they never got back.

He clearly knew what he was doing was wrong.

Why shouldn’t there be some criminal statute to punish him? Nothing here fixes any of the harm he’s caused. It just (hopefully) prevents him from doing it in the future.

Though based on how he got here I’m guessing he’ll find a new way.

How do you explain how the Ariane 5 used for the JWST, with a mass to GTO half that of Starship, was able to position the JWST without 60 launches?
Yes, the term has too much baggage. The way to know for sure is that people seem to think he was literally going to make an LLM OS or something. To be fair to Karpathy, I doubt he imagined people could misinterpret what he was saying so badly.
Sorry, can't help there. Although I'm not entirely sure if I understand what you're asking properly, because pigeons certainly does support xmpp, in fact it's the only thing it really supports quite well as far as I'm aware. Its these other services that either don't use XMPP or don't use it (or any open standard protocol) any more.

We only use Pidgin for native XMPP intra-org chat via self-hosted, AD-integrated private servers, a role which it has served remarkably well up to our largest client site of about 300 users or so. For phones, we support Xabber or Conversations but all BYOD usage comes with mandatory wireguard wrapping. We don't have much occasion to experiment with Pidgin's multi-protocol functionality, as our clients typically have little incentive to facilitate and support internet-facing chat capabilities.
Under what conditions?

If everbody could live forever, then definitely no. Think of the constant wars that would instead limit human lifespan.

If just me and nobody else, under what conditions?

If the normal aging process continues, then definitely no. Being alive in a decayed and constantly decaying body doesn't sound attractive.

Even if your body remains fixed at some level of functionality, including a sane personality, the boredom would be intense. Watching all the people important to you constantly dying would be a source of pain.

So, on the whole, NO.

Asking as a complete amateur, how do these people databases & privacy companies work? They claim to get personal details, family connections, social media content and even court records etc for not-so-exhorbitant price ($30 per report as ballpark?)

Do they just scam people by compiling whatever is available on search engines? In one or two cases, I have seen them at least giving the house address or family member details right. So there seems to be more at play.
Pentagon Scraps Plan to Spend $2.5B on Intel Chip Grant
It was some how relevant. I had a similar job making sofas in similar price range. We also had a crazy person stuffing everything. I asked why his job was not in the normal task roulation. They said for that job you have to be insanely strong, have insane endurance and you have to be insane. The guy tried it one time. How hard could it be? After 3 hours he literally couldnt lift his arms.
I look at this from another perspective. While you interpet "personal freedom" as a good thing, I see it as an indicator of weakness. Alone personal freedom isn't bad. But when used as resistance against the public good and overall progress, it is a sign that it is being misused, either by malice or incompetence, or maybe both.

America won the world wars by being an industrial powerhouse who could get things built in large quantity. I think that is no longer the case. To go further, it indicates a strategic weakness in national defense. Japan's warships were technologically superior to the American's. The German tank' specs were better than the Allies. But they lost on the number games. I feel like if a fight broke out between the US and China right now, we may see the same thing happen again, except this time, the US is the one playing the "few elite" card while China has the industrial and manufacturing power to swarm us with "good enough" war engines. And history has shown twice which strategy would win a war.

Morality really only has relevance to an individual. Was it moral to invade Canada? No, at least not under contemporary morality.

Is it moral to give a random subset of people special rights in modern Canada? Is a seperate question, that has nothing to do with historical treatment.

My take is that the current government does not adequately represent several groups in Canada, and the best solution would be to allow for separatist actions as a fundamental human right.
Prismic: Headless Page Builder
Well written article focusing on essential big picture nuances that we should be aware of.

Overconfident developers w.r.t. a) Coding skills b) Learning new technologies c) Our abstractions d) External dependencies - Better thought of as developers underestimating the problem complexity. I think the Dunning-Kruger effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect) is very much at play here since there is so much different and new out there that you are perpetually in a learning mode. Note that "In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task." I think that we cannot escape this but must learn to modulate it.

Inexperienced/Incompetent/Negligent Managers - The article points out some characteristics which i am sure we all can relate to. Only proper training can mitigate this.

Mismanaged stakeholders - Better thought of as Risk Factors/Management/Communications.

I nearly edited my comment below to add a mention of Pine Mountain but selfishly (…yes I’m sorry) wanted to keep it obscure in the hope that it’d be less crowded when I visit it myself periodically.

If I’m going be less selfish, I should probably mention that my next favorite stargazing spots are Star Valley, WY (yes, named for the celestial views); the high mountain plateaus (8,000-10,000ft+ altitude) between Bozeman, MT and Red Lodge, MT; and Central Idaho (Sawtooth or White Cloud Ranges).

I haven’t made it to Steens yet, thanks for the prompt ;)

Happy Stargazing!
Thousands of directories over thousands of installations? It’s not that far fetched.
Like I said, batteries are practical for time shifting a few hours, becauses you can amortize the cost over twenty years and only double the cost of the power, and that is exactly where they are used in grid.

Designed, maybe, but it's not like the cabling is directional.

I thought one of the reasons why DOCSIS was straightforward to rollout was because they only really needed bi-directional amplifiers to do it. Though in the early days of cable internet, some setups used a telephone modem for your uplink.

And if you already had Hybrid-Fibre Coaxial infrastructure (which was rolled out for noise reasons in the pre-data analog days) you were already a step ahead of the game in terms of segmenting nodes/worrying about CPE noise.

Upload is crap because they have to dedicate channels to it at the cost of download channels, and upload has more overhead because of the coordination required.

70s/80s cableTV companies basically won the lottery by being able to re-use their existing last-mile plant for high-value data. Telcos not so much.

Not disagreeing that they’ll screw it up, but it’s only about 400 miles from the Bay Area to LA. That should be about 2 hours for a modern train.

Assuming the train runs frequently enough for spur-of-the-moment trips (why wouldn’t it?!?) I’d definitely prefer that to screwing around with booking a flight, getting to the airport, and dealing with the TSA, even if the flight was only an hour.

> to swarm us with "good enough" war engines

luckily, nukes exist today, and this is no longer a volume problem. The all-out war scenario is one where humanity dies out, revert back to the stone age.

In a regional conflict, such as a taiwan invasion, this might play out as you described. But then in such a regional conflict, the "elite" forces of the US is more useful imho.

> But when used as resistance against the public good and overall progress

There's shades of grey there, because what constitutes public good and overall progress? But you may be right that there's more middlemen these days that are just not pulling their weight for what they output. Like ticket-clipping, where they just add a margin and pass on the work down the chain, and yet contribute nothing.

Intel Arc SR-IOV "Hack"?
Simple, it’s designed to launch a payload into lunar orbit and starship isn’t. To move something using starship into lunar orbit you need to move an entire starship there while the Ariane 5 is designed to do it in 1 launch at the expense of much less payload capacity and no reusability.
I have no idea. Ariane 5 rocket has payload dimensions of 15x50 feet. Starship is 26x56ft. The unfolded mirror is 21 feet across, so if you increased that by 73%, then 36 feet. This is all probably really unfounded assumptions

The benefit of starship here is probably being able to massively reduce the expense and risk of future JWST duplicates that don't need to fold. Also in the launch cost, which was $1 billion for Ariane 5 whereas Starship would be in the tens of millions.

FWIW, SpaceX has been actively working to make the Starlink satellites darker --- painting them black, adding a sun visor, working with the International Astronomical Union, etc --- so it is a bit disingenuous to suggest that they are "pushing the envelope" in the other direction.

Naturally, I do wish that they were even darker and less obtrusive but oh well.

The fact is, no company actually primarily exists to employ people, and people lose their jobs to this basic fact all the time, sometimes for no reason other than that some investor expects extremely marginal gains from signaling that they are serious about cutting costs

Also, the dissolution of a company and dispersal of its assets could include allocations for severance pay to cushion the blow if that's a concern, which is not always available to people who are hit by random layoffs

PE firms will not acquire for $100k. They won't look at you unless you have at least 10x that in ARR, possibly more. If you have cool new features and have something to add to existing products, then you should have no problem taking customers from the PE-backed companies. Do that, or find a way to protect your competitive advantage (patents?) and then approach the other companies.

FAANG doesn't look at startups in this range either. They make strategic acquisitions and acquihires, and generally for much more than this (even for just a single employee).

It's the same as what they say about funding: the best way to get it on good terms is to have a business that's doing really well. Ditto for acquisitions.

As far as I understand reading the article (and some Wiki pages around it), it seems to be a consortium of people trying to protect the dark night sky. However, this article hasn't made it clear if the 'sanctuary' implies it has got NPS or State's protection in reaching that objective.

The sanctuary is a term which was introduced in the last decade, and with loose subjective definition

> Sanctuaries are the most remote (and often darkest) places in the world whose conservation state is most fragile.

> In 2015, the IDA introduced the term "Dark Sky Sanctuary" and designated the Elqui Valley of northern Chile as the world's first International Dark Sky Sanctuary.

There are legally protected zones like mentioned in [1], but seem to cover smaller patches of area. But how is a sanctuary protected by legal enforceable measures isn't described in the same spirit. Probably this is something area experts & conservationists know better.

The verbiage is at best a tad confusing IMHO. While places like Central Australia or South NZ is remote, Oregon outback is much more accessible. I'd wager Star valley is on similar league of being pristine and yet more remote being in WY.

DSN NOW is neat to watch - and sometimes you see VGR1 and its related data https://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html

And since no one is talking with it, I'm going to find a screen shot. https://space.stackexchange.com/q/17430

The DATA feed (at 159 baud - bits per second) is being received at -157.95 dBm ... seven years ago. 1.6 x 10^-22 kW.

This is getting into the realm where noise will dominate the signal.

> The above assumes a receiver temperature of 120 Kelvin at 8.4 GHz. The receiver temperature could have also been measured using the quasar observation, but the 120 Kelvin figure is not far from reality given previous measurements.

The Allen Telescope Array is probably the 'cheapest' way to detect the signal.

> The telescope comprises 42 fully-steerable 6.1m-diameter telescopes, of which ~20 are fitted with wideband cryogenically cooled feeds.

For comparison, liquid nitrogen is 77 Kelvin.

They were able to detect the signal - but in that diagonal chart, note how difficult it is to see the diagonal from the visual noise.

That is only detecting the signal - not decoding it.
