We bought an EV 4 years ago and our second vehicle is still ICE. But it's not for any of the reasons you listed.

The EV is the far superior vehicle, both for road trips and local trips. We've done 4 2000 mile trips in it, and many 500 mile ones.

The reason we still have an ICE vehicle is because it's rarely used because it's so inferior. We only use it when we are going in two different directions simultaneously. It only gets 3000 miles/year of use, it's not worth replacing. It'll get replaced whenever something expensive on it dies.
I think it's because people have a hard time seeing things from more than one perspective.

We live our days and react to things based on our perception. We think about our state. Few people think about how things look from another person's perspective. Many people have a hard time really getting into someone else's shoes.

With multithreading, people can reason about what one thread will do. They can also reason about what another thread will do. However, thinking about the various unexpected ways these threads could interact, and designing a protocol for those interactions to limit adverse behavior is something many people are bad at. One perspective at a time is OK. Holding 2 or more at once is tricky.
Of course the finding from this paper of the optimality of slightly less than two drinks has long been known to certain elite segments of society[0].

From the tool itself:

SSH to a Tailscale machine

USAGE
tailscale ssh [user@]<host> [args...]

The 'tailscale ssh' command is an optional wrapper around the system 'ssh'
command that's useful in some cases. Tailscale SSH does not require its use;
most users running the Tailscale SSH server will prefer to just use the normal
'ssh' command or their normal SSH client.

The 'tailscale ssh' wrapper adds a few things:

* It resolves the destination server name in its arguments using MagicDNS,
even if --accept-dns=false.

* It works in userspace-networking mode, by supplying a ProxyCommand to the
system 'ssh' command that connects via a pipe through tailscaled.

* It automatically checks the destination server's SSH host key against the
node's SSH host key as advertised via the Tailscale coordination server.
It's surprising that's constitutional. I'd expect "Right to Farm" laws in some states to prohibit such union dues.

It's the principle of the matter.

It's not that it doesn't get discussed. It's just the way the biases work. People don't recognize the dangers because they're used to it. They place a bigger worry on other dangers that they aren't as familiar with or feels more scary. Most people don't even think about the dangers from pools or car accidents, or overestimate how safe it is despite their lack of knowledge. Many parents put their kid in a car seat but fail to secure the child or seat according to the instructions (usually straps too loose or in the wrong location). Or they think that just because they are sitting near the pool passively watching that they could save them if something does happen despite the fact they have no training. Yet the same people will talk and worry relentlessly about a school shooting despite the stats showing that schools are one of the least likely places that children are to be shot (more likely at a private residence or in the general public, more likely in a one-off event than a mass shooting), but don't bother discussing if there are firearms in the house and if they're locked up. It all comes down to bias.
The point is that "understanding police work" is irrelevant when you're building a body of neutral observers

Because there is a corporate third party that can identify both the driver and the customer. Moreso the driver than the customer, but then again the driver can have cameras in the vehicle and doesn't carry cash like a taxi does, so they are not in any significant danger either.

Thank you for the link.

So it's a weighed choice between "if something seems like it's too good to be true, it often is", and "the explanations they give make good sense, and it's a way of doing business that some ethical company could choose to take".

I don't really understand the Japanese obsession with removing human contact everywhere.

I've seen videos of restaurants where you sit down in a closed booth, order from a touchscreen, and the food comes out of a slot. It's so weird. This doesn't seem like cost optimization through automation because behind the wall people are still working, it was just human contact avoidance for the sake of it.

Here in Spain we enjoy dining with many people and this kind of automated service would be so clinical and terrible. I'm glad I don't live in Japan :)
Totally, spending time developing the muscles to build more advanced RAG workflows is first and foremost a data modeling and data engineering challenge -- developing the hierarchical data modeling expertise, taking advantage of the structure and flexibility of the document model, chunking, and real time memory requirements combined with the power of vector embeddings and advanced query and filter capabilities is a skill that will last, irrespective of the popular model, service provider, cloud platform or framework du jour.
Might be possible to do with SDR rather than needing the original hardware. Not that this makes it super more likely.
The project actually started with the name UNICS, which was indeed a pun on MULTICS - after Bell Labs reduced/left involvement in Project MAC and some of the future Unix creators were part of that effort.

UNICS started out on way way way less capable hardware to play with some concepts that were developed on Multics, so while there were some improvements, a lot of things are the way they are because of limitations enforced by 13 bit address space of PDP-7 and later 16bit moby style memory management on PDP-11

The move to PDP-11 was related to how some programs developed for Unix found interest among other teams at Bell Labs, and the budget for PDP-11 came from supporting secretaries working on patent documents with troff and related programs.
Very interesting, thank you.

Well, it poured tens of billions of military aid on Ukraine over 2 years, supplied tons of intelligence, training, conceded to US made arms being transferred. I'd say that is a lot.

More would be better, but I don't think we are in the realms of "reneging on promises".

The original agreement was very vague. Was it to mean that the US would defend Ukraine will all it's military might, up to conscripting Americans and sending out nukes? Surely not.
Valid point, like minded people flock together. As long as we acknowledge other people exist, and their views / values can be different. Who am I to mandate how you should live? I also expect the same “live & let live” from others. The mandates interfered with the “let live” part since I know of a fatal vaccine sideeffect case.

> Following the Act's passage, the Southern coalition switched en masse to the Republican party.

Except the switch didn’t happen until decades later. Virtually no Dixiecrat switched parties. And Carter won every southern state except Virginia in 1976. He did better in Alabama than in New York. Reagan and George H. W. Bush muddy the analysis because they won everywhere, including deep blue states. But Reagan did better in wealthier, more educated southern metro areas in the south than in presumably more racist rural areas. Clinton won a number of southern states in the 1990s. Republicans didn’t win a majority of southern congressional seats until 1994.

Apart from it making no sense to say Dixiecrats protested Democratic support for the civil rights act by switching to the party that not only supported it more, but supported all the previous civil rights acts, that narrative ignores the actual issues that mattered to voters in the 1980s and 1990s. Abortion, foreign policy (patriotism), and economic policy became defining issues during that time. And on all those fronts, ”new south” voters were more aligned with the Republican position.

Put differently, democrats support for segregation was keeping southern democrats in the party. It was preventing what would otherwise be ideological sorting of a voting bloc that was already more religious conservative, patriotic, and was benefiting economically from deregulation as industry moved from northern states to southern states.

> Many of these voters continued to oppose racial (and "legal") equality for many years, and in some cases are still do.

Nobody opposes legal equality. Many republicans oppose what we now call “equity”—taking race into account to produce racially even results. If you look at “racial resentment” tests, for example, the fundamental difference in attitudes that appears is that liberals have a special sympathy toward black people, while conservatives have equally unsympathetic attitudes towards everyone: https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/renos/files/carneyenos.pdf.

Your Alabama example illustrates the point. Alabama is trying to draw a map favorable to republicans for the same reason Maryland draws a map favorable to democrats: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/mary.... Alabama isn’t trying to disadvantage black voters, just as Maryland isn’t trying to disadvantage white voters.
Government has the responsibility to provide access to education and make it as transient as possible in regards to class. But government by experience is usually also a bad legal guardian, even if the people involved really want to help these kids.

Perhaps they get lucky and grow up in a good adoptive family. But for the others there are a few things that are quite difficult to replace.

A democracy isn't a manifested society, it is a compromise of everyone involved. Ideally at least, the reality is more gray and even in a democracy a government doesn't have the legitimacy to do everything it wants. Further its ability to evaluate which children would benefit from more direct support is limited.

So perhaps you need not only look at the children and instead try to improve the lives of the parents as well.

Ensuring Atomicity: A Tale of Dragonfly Transactions
Fair point, also worth noting is:

The data is output from a climate model run that is constrained to match weather observations.

So where we have lots of weather observations, ERA5 should match it closely.

And where we do not have any weather observations, ERA5 will be physically consistent and should match the climatology, i.e. the simulated weather’s statistics should match reality.

ERA5 covers the entire globe at 0.25 degree resolution, and stretches back in time to 1940 with hourly resolution.

For the time frame (post 1940) there is likely to be actual weather data points twice a day at almost any point on the globe with cities and or ports that colonial expansion reached.

What I'd like to see in such tools are two things:

* Indications of actual observed data points (location time) .. so that the observed point mesh for a day in 1949 about the globe can be seen, and

* Interpolation for a modern day (with dense observed data points) from a reduced set of sparse points (just the ones, say, from that day in 1949) to get a sense of how the infill from sparse points matches the observed but unused points.

I'm not a climate skeptic in the least, global estimation of a coarse global mean from relatively sparse points is fine in my experience (I've done a lot of exploration geophysics for mineral | energy resource mapping) and a bit of interpolated wiggle in the model doesn't blow the big corase estimation .. but this question of interpolation from sparse data is one that always gets raised by skeptics.

I'd like to get a VDI infrastructure setup for me and my partner -- something that enables both of us to run our computers with a single big machine, and not have cables running everywhere through the house, while being able to sit wherever we want and use our infra from any given place.

At the moment, I've brainstormed:

- A main server that runs some type 1 hypervisor (Xen or Proxmox, will need to see which is more adequate)

- Light "client" devices (laptop, for example), that may either be connected in a wired manner to the server (e.g. separate desks), or remoting into it through Wireguard. Each desk will feature a KVM-style setup with a docking station that offers screens, keyboard, and a range of USB ports.

- Individual VMs for running our respective OSes to our preference, some flavor of linux distro. Inputs from the client device (e.g. USB, Keyboard, Screen) should be forwarded / matched to the VM.

- A windows VM for gaming, running two sessions for each of us: GPU passthrough is a must. I would like to make use of Looking Glass somehow, if possible either through the Linux VM on the same server, or on the client machine. The latter would probably be better for performance, I suppose, given you don't have to forward input devices twice... but I'm also worried about whether the buffer-copy mechanisms from Looking Glass would work with such a setup.

So far, I'm looking into Moonlight/Sunshine as a general desktop redirection setup: my hope is that I can pass something close to direct framebuffers on an ethernet connection while at home, and switch to compression while I'm away, hoping to achieve as little latency as possible in all cases (so giving absolute priority on the host to the streaming process, if possible, kind of like an RT system). One notable thing is that Sunshine by itself doesn't support generic USB redirection. Has anyone tried using usbredir for this purpose?

In general, it's hard to find relevant information for this kind of home hypervisor setup with a focus on gaming/latency and general transparency all around... would appreciate tips if anyone's attempted something similar before. Thanks!

To respond to a lot of these ridiculous responses here:

The answer to this is that we should optimise society towards less inequality. It is our collective responsibility because the privileged people who have disproportionally better results do so BECAUSE systems of inequality that keep wealth in certain areas of society exist. This doesn't mean you didn't work hard, obviously.

The evening out of such inequalities require much more radical policies than stuff like affirmitive action. We need things that address the root of the issues with how our society works. Nobody is willing to do that.

But yeah, its not the fault of the parents alone. I'm sorry that's some incredibly neoliberal individualist bullshit. There are so many factors listed here that poorer parents cannot sheild their kids from. They cannot live in a nicer place that they can't afford. They cannot just stop having chronic illness at a higher rate because of their own disadvantaged lives. Etc etc.

Everyone should take responsibility over their own life and do as much as they can to not let anything hold them back, just for the sake of their personal happiness at least. However, saying that does not then abdicate us from our other responsibility to make the world a better place. Telling people to work hard does not make societal factors go away.

Windows 95's DOS virtual machines provided pretty close to a full 640KB of free conventional memory to each VM launched. You could even control how much they get through PIF settings (right click the shortcut, go to Properties). There was also no need to fiddle with, eg, mouse and CD-ROM drivers; the DOS VM outsourced the support of those devices to Windows, and did not occupy conventional memory in the way it would under MS-DOS itself.

Unless you're booting into MS-DOS Mode, in which case, you're back to all the old awfulness.
