Solid wood that has been buried can take 20-50 years to decompose, depending on species and the thickness of the wood.

If you know you are going to die of old age in your current home, and you haven’t hit your fifth decade yet, solid trunks or thick branches are fine.

If you only have 2-4 decades of life left, consider thinner branches, or chip the wood into rough pieces that max out at about the size of a paperback (large trailer-towed chipper for wood up to 24″ in size, the kind most Arborists use).

If you are old enough to retire, I would strongly recommend chipping as fine as pieces no larger than a credit card. Which is about the size that any landscaping supply place would have.

If your place is not going to be permanent (you have plans of moving within the next 5-15) or you really are quite elderly, I would recommend avoiding wood entirely to go for sawdust, leaves, and even entire bales of hay that have not been torn apart (still compressed, just remove the polyester bailing rope). If you have access to herbicide-free grass clippings (orchard, etc.), I would also strongly recommend composting that over a few months and then using that as a thick final layer (about 5-15cm) before you pile the soil on top.

I don’t use Hügelkultur to make mounds, but all of my custom, home-made planter boxes have it as their primary feature: a good 40cm of rough wood chips (that go about 10-15cm down below the surrounding ground level), 30cm of compacted hay from bales, a thick 10cm layer of composted grass clippings, then 10-15cm of fine topsoil. It has compacted by about 15cm over the last year, and I expect it to compact a little more. I pulled some soil off this spring and added another layer of grass clippings before putting that soil back and adding another 10cm of fresh soil on top. We typically find the surface layered with worm castings after a good rain or watering, which is a sign that things are working well.

If you are in a typically hot or arid area, I would also strongly recommend looking into the Ruth Stout method for weed suppression and moisture retention. I use about 10cm of my composted grass clippings and another 20-30cm of fluffed hay from bales on top of that, and it does wonders for the garden - we watered only about 20% as much as our neighbours and had almost no weeds in the covered areas. The soil remained moist and super-soft all year long.

Leave that cover in place and add another 20-30cm in the fall time for the following year, or use a garden spade in the fall to gently move the current year’s cover into the upper layers of soil for beneficial bugs to winter down in before refreshing the surface with another full 30-40cm layer. It will compact over the winter, and you plant in the spring directly through the hay. Things like garlic don’t even need to be buried - you just put them directly on the soil and close up the hole you made in the hay.

1. who told you that it's not a state-backed attack?
2. and if 1 is true, who told it, it's not Russia staying behind it?

and if 2 is true, the KGB university alumni Kaspersky definitely is related to it.
With JQuery you're still writing JS to do everything.
With HTMX, you write almost no JS. You write HTML which contains some directives like "hx-post='/clicked'" which will make a POST request to the `/clicked` URL path, similar to how HTML forms already work... and then you write the logic to generate more HTML in the server. That is: the server becomes responsible for the logic, not the client.

You can still do JS on the client here and there, but that becomes much less needed.
I'm not saying no.

I'm just saying that not everyone used PAN NGFW for MITM proxying, and it's not necessary to enable/configure that to use them for other tasks.
Came here exactly to say this. Single mode bidi fiber does not care about electrical interference, is cheap, super thin so easy to pull, future proof, and can carry up to 40GBps if you have the money. 10Gbps optics are quite cheap nowadays. You can also have LC or SC keystone jacks.

What? I bought a bed last year. It’s solid wood, only the bottom of the under-bed-drawers being some kind of glued material. And it wasn’t even some super high-end thing, including the drawers, I paid just below 1000 € for it.

When searching for a bed to buy (as I wanted solid wood), I even found many stores specializing in solid wood furniture.

Thank you for your response!

It seems that you express two critical needs which I don't share:

1. You need human analogous AI intelligence to provide a casual explanation for human intelligence.

But it doesn't have to provide this to be human analogous. It just has to perform functions a human can.

2. You need AI intelligence to never have memory, planning, persistence, and physical understanding.

But it demonstrably has all these to various degrees already. We just need simple bolt-on modules like RAG (persistence, understanding), action/critique loops and tool using (reasoning, planning, understanding). And there are clear paths for increasing the functionally in each of these dimensions.

Functionally, AI is evolving, and there are no clear blockers against this process.

It seems that at some point you have to say that functionalism is not enough. There must be a soul that AI will still be missing, even if functional equivalence is there.

If the AI achieves functional abilities similar to humans - which let's grant seems possible for every function we can identify - then you will have to retreat to claiming there is some "je ne sais quoi" which is not captured.

In other words, you will have to argue that the human soul is real.

Is that a length you're ready to go to? Is your position that science can't explain the human soul, even if it can simulate all human functions?

Or are there, in your view, functional limits that, if we reach them, you will admit "this is enough. I was wrong"?

That's my first question to you.

I would also like to point out that LeCunn thinks AI can eventually be human analogous. Specifically LeCunn argues that his own JEPA model can achieve these things, because it has a constantly learning world model, planning/critique model, memory model, and actor model. He criticizes transformer based LLMs mainly because simple transformers can't learn in an ongoing way.

Are you comfortable admitting that LeCunn is trying to promote his own work, and believes it can reach human intelligence levels? If not, what specifically makes you feel LeCunn is on your side here?

That is my second question to you.
That's a question for folks who don't value original copies.

Long term flexibility is a very surprising way to describe a JS stack. They are easy to build in, but there is nothing robust about the ecosystem. When in 5 years a PM asks me to add that simple multi step form, I'll probably have to tell them it's blocked by replacing deprecated dependcies and our validation library doesn't support our new element types so we need to rewrite all the validation across the site to use a new library... man I feel a burnout coming on.

My counter-argument is that the simplest tool has the largest chance of not breaking over long periods of time. I have dynamic websites I built 10 years ago that still run almost untouched because I used the simplest stack possible.

Contrasting that, in the commercial software world we rebuild from the ground up in 1-5 years, and we aren't even building complex things. Same level of interaction, but a stack that has an enormous complexity and web of dependencies and moving targets that absolutely require a steady hand on the maintenance wheel. Your examplen scenario is not that scary, we have been building that kind of UX long before React and friends.

Your final comment about people who disable javascript is disappointing, but an opinion you likely share with many PMs. I would recommend a look into accessibility, and also try to see why people might advocate for graceful degradation.

But while Huawei's compensation package is generous, its working culture can be challenging, according to chip industry managers.

"Working with them is brutal. It's not 996 -- meaning working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. ... It will literally be 007 -- from midnight to midnight, seven days a week. No days off at all," one Chinese chip engineer told Nikkei Asia. "The contract will be for three years, [but] the majority of people can't survive till renewal."

Im not sure new entrepreneurs quite appreciate the gravity of having family livelihoods dependent on your decisions.

The toll is also much worse in developing nations where the demand in the job market is low. Business failure then could mean people being long-term or permanently out of work.

Entrepreneurship is a massive driver of employment in developed markets (especially VC backed). Ironically, entrepreneurs in developing markets may be dissuaded from employing so not to carry this risk.
Unfortunately the more news-worthy stories also suffer from a severe lack of viewpoint diversity.

Audiences are already very familiar with the ideological narratives emanating from the NYT newsroom. It’s fine as flavour, but the NYT are so heavy handed with it that often the substance of the articles are distorted to fit the narrative.

>an entire type of previously very-promising attack is completely burned.

I fear it's not just the attack that is burned. If new contributors have to be distrusted and/or go through some sort of vetting that isn't based on the merit of their contributions, that is a terrible blow to the entire open source movement.

The threshold for young coders without a great deal of history and without a network of contacts to become contributors to important open source projects has just gone up massively.
One thing that bothers me is when people refer to languages like Go and Rust as "not object-oriented". Of course they are object oriented; Go and Rust programs consist of struct definitions to which you associate methods, giving rise to individually instantiatable objects with custom behavior, and you use these objects to model entities in your problem domain. This is object-orientation.

Where they differ from OO languages such as Java and Python is of course that they avoid traditional inheritance, offering more restricted inheritance-adjacent features (typeclasses/traits/interfaces and struct embedding).

Like many others I find Go disappointing in many regards. (Although Go's channels, goroutines, select, and implicit interfaces are beautiful). One disappointment is the way that methods are not indented or nested within the struct definition/interface that they are defined on. This is, IMO, a silly fig-leaf that is attempting to make the language look "not OO" in a superficial manner, but all it ends up doing is making it hard to see where your implementation of one interface ends and another starts.

Take a trivial example, proscription medications.

In many countries it is illegal to sell these unless you have a pharmacist's license. It's not illegal to buy them, because you can buy them from a legal seller.

This case is very similar in the asymmetry between buying and selling. You get the save game by buying the game and playing the game. That's not illegal. It's also not illegal to tamper with your own save game (if I understand other comments on this article correctly). What is illegal is to sell a save that you have tampered with.[1]

From a legal perspective it's perfectly possible to ban the sale of something without banning the purchase, just like certain things are illegal to sell or buy but not illegal to have.[2]

[1] You may well say it's crazy that this is the case, but I could sort of see both sides of this. I do think cheating in competitive multiplayer games really ruins things for other players so I could see the argument for banning anything that does that. In singleplayer games my view is "do whatever you think is fun for you" but that's just a personal perspective. My understanding is people play Pokemon against each other so you could say that cheating with a modified save harms others. I'm not sure that's important enough to justify a law but it's really not my business to say.

[2] Famous example - if you go to the Moma there is an artwork by Robert Rauschenberg that was the centre of a famous tax lawsuit for this exact reason. The artwork itself is basically a painting, but one of the things that Rauschenberg did was sort of alter paintings by sticking sculptural elements on to them and this particular one includes a dead and stuffed bald eagle. Now this was not illegal at the time, but when the bald eagle became endangered, the sale of anything that included any part of a bald eagle became illegal. So this artwork can never be sold. When Rauschenberg died, the IRS went after his estate for tax on this painting which they valued at $29million. However his family said the value of the painting was zero because it can never be legally sold (even though it's not illegal for them to own it). https://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/22/arts/design/a-catch-22-of...

I’ll bite… let’s start by removing any software patents, they are just stupid. Then, let’s start having a look at over broad patents that don’t help anyone but megacorps to block innovation and competition. Then finally, the whole RD sob story is brought up a lot, which has a point in the original definition, but it’s used by megacorps to justify stupid high prices (see medication industry in the US for example) and block affordable medications that save lives. So I say, screw that, let the actual market speak for itself.
