I think i've seen this before, at the time of Sasser, Codered etc.
In ext[234]fs the reserved blocks is something else though: they are reserved to a specific user, by default root. So if normal users fill out the filesystem, the root user still has some space to write. Sort of a simple quota system.

I believe this problem in is only relevant to CoW filesystems. With ext[234]fs you can set the reserved blocks to 0, fill the fs, and always remove files to fix the situation.

The UNIX haters book happened for a reason, and sadly many of the complaints have hardly changed.

At least on cloud and mobile space, we have largely moved beyond that, in the age of serverless, managed containers and programming languages.

Smalltalk and Lisp based REPLs are just as programmable, even more so given the whole OS exposure, and is no wonder why Notebooks got adopted by the science community and are inspired by them.
I’ve attended two local Adobe Create Now events where they demoed their new AI functionality. It’s so well integrated- I’m impressed despite usually disliking them. The key point I got from both events was their emphasis on training exclusively on content they already had licensed through adobe stock so you wouldn’t need to worry about accidentally infringing so much
It depends how you look at it. The mission calls for both systems. Making success reliant on two completely different heavy lift vehicles simultaneously, in which the mission fails if either fails, is arguably not de-risking.

Yes if only one succeeds the US will still have one heavy lift system, but that would require massive re-vamping of NASA's planned mission goals.

Such a tedious stat. Because nearly all greenhouse gas emissions are from energy, it's a measure of energy-sector corporate consolidation. If we exploded all energy companies into millions of tiny companies each with a single oil or gas well, but overall production is the same, would that change anything? If they accelerated the merging into one behemoth gigacorp, but extraction was the same, is that worse or better?

It's also completely burying the lede: the actual reported data at hand is the line still going up, and states increasingly account for the increase compared to "real" companies which are on a downturn. Which is kinda but not specifically related to exactly how many boardrooms are involved.

You don’t have to guess what I’d likely think. You can just ask. I hate growth for growth sake. I hate growth when it pushes companies to do shitty things.

I don’t hate growth in general. I hate it when it’s the only driving force.

Growth mindset is a bit good thing overall. We might disagree on that. As a byproduct of other drivers, like innovation, sure, I’m cool with that.
On Windows only? Then just download AutoHotKey, good lord. It was made for this (and it's free!). They're called hotstrings and they're a first class citizen in AutoHotKey.

Personally I would not rely on these because the muscle memory would screw me over once I am in an environment without it e.g. on a mobile device.
MIPS has been bankrupt multiple times and is now defunct but I still buy routers with their chips in them.

The problem with current EVs is that they're smartphones with wheels. Only the manufacturer can service them. So you can't buy their product without betting on the company's future like you can with, say, an open-architecture general-purpose computer (those are getting rarer too).

Bring back the original Tesla Roadster and Nissan Leaf.

Few notes:

- "auto" tools are installer tools and, after all, do good job. Maybe we can download any project that use it, run it once, parse results and put it in /etc ? - becouse it's already there. Then next step: build just-detection tools. Side note: just straight 'make all' will detect it too :) And it show additional next problem that auto's already solved - setting up all that inc/lib paths...

- m4 should be replaced and not by monstrosity like cmake

- GNU's came after MIT's and BSD's, evolved from them. But corporations adapted and assimilated. We need next evolution step: something that forces corporations to spend money on what they use, fund devs or participate in development. OSlicensecertification.orgs should help with that instead of helping corps to be predators becouse some outdated bullshit talks

- yea, auto* tools are way overcomplicated

- finally do that TTY 2.0 !

The fortnine video about this type of engine is quite interesting:https://youtu.be/-3HBAvkc4a0?feature=shared
Mazda might be one company with the expertise to make it work. The range extender, not directly driving wheels, can work in its optimum temperature, rpm and on a pretty constant load. The ability to work with multiple types of fuel adds to its versatility as a range extender. Since Mazda has alliances with other Japanese car makers, if it is indeed a good proposition, I reckon it would appear on other Japanese cars too, and maybe in BMW as well.

Also, see Conway’s lore about how organizations structure themselves to mirror their communication structures.

And I’m wondering right now how ubiquity of the web browser has affected ourselves, and I think having simultaneously but, mutually exclusive tabs, as like a major conceptual model, for interacting with the information super highway I think this might’ve affected our attention spans.

Mostly true but not fully. In the earlier days late 70s, mid 80s (even early 90s) working with assembly down was not uncommon, and often necessary. There wasn't such a clear distinction between the layers.

I absolutely don't think the system should work this way. But people will send their kids to work if the money is needed to keep the family afloat. And the families who have to do this aren't thinking about the wealthy, they're more concerned with being able to afford their home and put food on their table. They're not thinking about how the system should be, they're thinking about how it is now and how to cope with it.

Because some of the windfarms still run on legacy contracts where they were incentivized by a guaranteed selling price for the power they produce. They are reimbursed for the loss of income they suffer due to curtailment.

More like a few centuries, methane's global warming potential after 500 years (GWP-500) is still 7.95.

The issue with burning is that methane can leak during transport.
Well, now you can (in theory) buy more than three of them for the (former) price of one, so the only problem is where to store the two part donors...

Of course, the $21K is what you would be getting when you sell it, not what you would be paying if you want to buy a used one.

This is important to consider. The video is mostly a commentary on how CO2 is being handled while the methane released from fracking is largely ignored when evaluating if a well is carbon neutral. The video also argues that methane is much worse for the environment as a whole than CO2. I'm sympathetic to the argument, but I have a hard time believing that climate scientists have not already taken this into account with their calculations _somewhere_. Maybe I'm wrong, but at this point, the US is so far gone down the fracking/natural gas hole, I'm afraid backing out of it is almost untenable.

The best we can hope for is better capture, storage, and utilization strategies. If we can find a way to create a machine similar to the Terraform Industries model, but focused on methane capture, perhaps we can reabsorb/store that as well.

There are millions (billions?) of dollars at stake here, and obviously the best minds are already tackling the problem. Only plebs like us who don't have the skills to do so bicker on an internet forum... It's not like we could realistically spend the time inventing ways to run inference with fewer resources and make significant headway.

I live in a state where noncompetes are allowed and have never once had an issue with moving between $bigcorp and $startup and contract work. Im on my 7th FTE job within my 9 year career. Look at the recent population decline, exodus of corporations, and exploding state deficit. Look at the COL crisis in the state.

In no way am I celebrating the possibility of economic decline for the state of CA. That would be terrible for the nation! Im not saying the apocalypse is coming but I sincerely hope California can course-correct (out of self interest)
Note that quite a lot of these problems would just go away if people would just stop trying to conform to some "portable" POSIX nonsense. There's no reason why shell scripting needs to be this painful but people keep doing it to themselves by restricting themselves to the smallest possible subset of features, the most ancient ones at that. The so called "bashisms" for example make everything so much easier and less error prone but people act like it's wrong to use those features. When you read stuff about shell scripting there's usually an entire section on avoiding the evil bashisms and torturing the shell script until it runs in the mythical POSIX shell as if it was some kind of virtuous thing to do, like bash is pushing you into temptation or something.

Just throw POSIX into the trash where it belongs. Then we can finally evolve past it.

Also, shellcheck is a wonderful tool. The script isn't done until shellcheck stops complaining.
Expecting 8 Billion humans to get together and not buy products which are bad for the environment is unrealistic. You can barely get any three people to agree on any one topic.

The issue here isn't blame. The issue is at what level do we start making shit illegal to where it's most effective at affecting the desired change.
On the bright side, the part donors will not be expensive to buy.
I’m not expressing an anti growth mindset. Maybe it’s just me being an awful writer/communicator. Which is quite possible.

I’m against growing just for the sake of growing.

I’m 35 btw, so your example is not too wrong. I do value things that last. And again, I don’t have issues with price increases.

And if you price me out, so be it. But if you price me out because you want to make more and more money then I’d argue that’s a shitty way to run a business.
> How could you possibly know that it takes “3 days” to get good at being a barista?

Because I have gone to the same Starbucks every day for many years, and see many new hires as the staff turns over. It takes about 3 days to go from "cannot operate the cash register" to "efficiently fulfills customer orders".
Granted that this is true, FH right now does not have these capabilities and SLS has already done it. For all the amazing success of FH it's completely the wrong vehicle for a mission like this, which is why Starship exists and IMHO is the future.

Everything "natural" that can make you addicted to, is the same as synthetically made stuff that makes you addicted to.

Advocating here doesn't take into account that the advocatee kills. It's not harmless.

This happened to me! My solution was to go to an apple store, buy one of their portable SSDs right there, cp everything on to the SSD (that didn't appear to use any additional space!), wipe the mac, and then rm some unneeded stuff on the ssd before cp-ing back and using their no-fee return to return the SSD. There were a few esoteric issues, but for the most part it worked.
Because that's as high as SW abstraction would go back then, meaning it was relatively common (and a lot of times required) to be a true "full-stack" developer for almost any dev job.

Nowadays software is orders of magnitude more complex with layers and layers of abstraction and containerization to make app development and deployment as quick, easy, reliable and secure as possible, to expedite time to market and profit, that it's become unrealistic and unprofitable to expect your devs to be proficient across the whole stack from cloud, web, to kernel and hardware.

The vast majority of average dev jobs nowadays are a lot more specialized and containerized, and companies mostly care about your ability to grind through the stack of CRUD Jira tickets to solve the business problems the company needs to make money, not dig through the Linux codebase to find some bug/race condition in the kernel/libraries.

Outside of embedded/kernel dev and big-tech, where low level bug fixes and optimizations can translate to real $ at scale, jobs that need low level knowledge or that reward it, are very niche.
While not completely up to my own standards, this is pretty neat and readable: https://rclone.org/install.sh

I think the key issue is that when the OEM doesn't exist, software issues can likely never be fixed, and might make the car undrivable.

For example, imagine the root filesystem of the infotainment system gets full with logs. Now it won't boot. But that system uses secure boot/disk encryption so you can't go in and fix it. And btw, the infotainment not working means the car can't be shifted into drive.

No mechanic can fix that. The security features mean the parts can't be swapped from one car to another, and besides, even if you could do swaps, any swapped unit will get the same fault as the first.

That is why the car valuation has dropped so much. The high chance that within a few years it becomes undrivable and unfixable.
And again, what would be the reason why a lot of people trying to live a “normal” life feel compelled to take up arms?

Many will call it resistance in an occupied territory in a lot of other contexts.

By this logic when the Nazis killed members of the resistance, of course they were also fighters in addition to whatever day jobs they had.

Getting rid of the ISS would leave Falcon/Dragon, and for some missions Starship nowhere to go. Like it or not, for the moment SpaceX is tied to existing NASA projects.

Silly comparison. The article clearly states that Topaz Labs’ tool was used. That tool is known for being quite good but also it does still hallucinate in small portions of the images sometimes.
Photography contests, for example, clearly exclude Topaz Labs-style gen-AI enhancements from entering.
The main idea why Ultra HDR is done like that is that the content creator (photographer) can control the local tone mapping. I think.
Well Peter Hessler writes like this. By the way we all know American higher education is often interspersed around the US, so Pittsburgh is actually a nice median -- not a college town but far from a big city like Chicago/NYC.

The mental journey Hessler describes rings true to me, a Chinese student in the US.

Digital immortality will play out differently across cultures.

Ancestor worship - really more ancestor veneration - remains a big deal in China, where the ancestors kind of remain in the family in perpetuity, more akin to having gone to a different room in house, rather than entering into a paradise as in the Abrahamic traditions. I think Chinese will embrace AI avatars of the deceased without too much angst, whereas this would be a blasphemous in the Western tradition
> According to the company, the new long-lasting EV battery has zero degradation through the first 1,000 cycles.

If the battery gets even 200 miles to a cycle then that will be no degradation over 200,000 miles. Pretty good.

> The new EV battery pack, made with CATL, has a 932,000 mile (1.5 million km), 15-year warranty. Yutong calls the long-life battery an industry first

The title says 15-year lifespan, but the article says 15-year warranty. It would be dumb to set the warranty period to the exact same as the expected lifespan so I think this battery will have a much bigger lifespan.
>There’s no AI use for compression, that’s just standard HEIC.

Where is the line drawn between "AI" and codec compression?

* Both are algorithms.

* Both are fed source material.

* Both can be trained to produce a better output.

* Both are prompted.

* Both are highly parallel workloads.

* Both can be accelerated using accelerators.

* Both can produce new things ("hallucinate") and reproduce the source.
But can't you see how the distinction between helping you succeed as an employee and a person might be murky for someone less experienced in the corporate world?

For many people, if someone is helping them and being extremely nice, they're not going to question why; they're just gonna sidle up with them and enjoy the time with their new friend.
But any non-trivial BASIC program had to include a few machine language subroutines here and there for speed. And people knew how to “hand-assemble” them without even an assembler.
That's not what they're doing. This was using one of those generative ai hallucination tools that "add detail" to a video to make it look fancier. Something like that clearly has no place in a courtroom.
