Why? Because there is. Every package repository has a community of maintainers who make sure a package is compatible with their OS/distribution. That's just the way each linux distro solves this problem. It's worked out pretty well so far, despite the sheer number of redundant packages.

Why not? This kind of script is a generally bad idea, because it's hoarding the responsibility of package maintenance. The better solution is to maintain a working package (better yet, convince someone to maintain it for you) for each distro's public repository, good documentation on their wiki, and working links to that documentation in your readme.

Why not not? Despite being a bad idea, it's not a hard idea. The implementation of this script is likely easier to manage than doing it the proper way.

"Do they make rules for themselves?"

It seems not.
I've been saying this for thousands of years.
> Edit to add, it seems most of your other responders are responding to this bit, which I agree is not realistic (children aren't rational to reliably refrain from something just because you can explain why it's bad) but I can see why you're frustrated that they're zeroing in on that part and not the part I responded to.

What's frustrating to me is that people are taking this so literally and not reading into at all. I'm not suggesting parents be like, "Okay Tommy, here's why phones are bad, now here you go!" and never talk about it again. That's utterly absurd, and isn't how anyone should expect a parent to teach a child life skills. It's a constant battle - as you say, tedious, time-consuming, and expensive - to raise a child with good principles. Why is this thread acting as though teaching our children self-control is somehow a different lesson?
In general, I get the feeling that the people who gush about all the awesome ideas in the 3BP books, are not people who read very much sci-fi. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. But those ideas have been explored previously, and much better (IMO), in other less popular books.
Could they give ChatGPT a big memory of corrections, and ask it to make the corrections when needed?
Apart from the other replies… I find the use of phrasing quite clever, and interesting in a way.

There were reasons to not extend the lifetime by a few weeks/months (e.g. contracts had been terminated, and calling vendors back for one month would be unreasonable). There were also reasons to not extend the lifetime by much more (e.g. fuel rod availability). The two sets of reasons were largely disjoint.

But by deemphasising how long the extended operation would last, extension is made to look much more reasonable. The reasons against a long-term extension clearly don't apply (to a short-term extension) etc. Rhetorically quite clever.

Gary Oldman was a lot of it.

I had read and enjoyed the first two books. After the first couple of episodes I had to admit I was watching it for Gary Oldman more than anything else. I'd watch just a supercut of him expressing disdain for and disappointment with his subordinates.

Also, Russia is [contemplating](https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2024/04/25/russia-reportedl....) stopping issuing passports abroad - to try and catch the 'undesirables' again. Which would leave many people de-facto stateless. This is what Belarus did quite a while ago, by the way.

On the other hand, it's doing something similarly dubious with paywalled news articles in that it bypasses many news sites' paywalls and supposedly injects its own ads next to the content.

So apparently a 20 TB HDD can be purchased at around $250, plus perhaps $30 per hdd slot with a computer (I just recall a number of this range from calculating years ago how much it costs to have storage at home), making it 2 million dollars—without any redundancy, so maybe twice that.

On the other hand you can already have 24 20TB HDDs for maybe $7000 (with required other hardware), and that's almost 0.5 petabytes. I imagine it would be able to archive all things a single person cares about. Now only if there was a way to interconnect these smaller storage pods to each other..
Well, hold on. They are allowed to make one copy. Then g specifically says they are allowed to distribute one copy. Doesn't say it always has to be the same copy. It is in fact their one copy.
Correct, and imagine the amount of work it took to make that possible at all. If you build a car factory, you're not going to make a whole lot of net profit off the first one you sell. It's way easier to make car #2 after you have everything in place to make car #1. Given the size and complexity of the organizations involved in this fine, that may actually be a reasonable analogy. I'd bet person-years of work went into making it happen, and that a lot of that could be dusted off and re-used if the FCC wanted to do it again.

> Does every one who goes to acting school become Meryl Streep?

I don't know that I entirely get the analogy you're going for but I'll take a stab at it.

There are a lot more software engineer jobs than professional acting jobs. To be competitive in acting you probably do need to live poor for years with the hopes that you'll eventually make lots of money when you become a star. Most people don't become stars, this isn't really secret knowledge, so there's an expectation that you kind of have to be doing it for fun.

Software engineering isn't as glamorous as acting, there are a lot more positions available for it, and it does pay reasonably well (not Meryl Streep money sadly), so I think it's perfectly rational for a person to try and get into it for a reasonably stable job that pays well.

> There is a reason that I want to work with talented people, passionate people ones who are smarter and/or more knowledgeable than I am...

Coding for fun doesn't imply "talented", and doing a job for money doesn't imply "not talented".

> If the money is the only reason your in the game, you dont make it to Sr engineer

That's just not true. I know several people who became senior engineers but don't code for fun. I can't read their minds so I can't know for sure why they got into software, but by the time I met them they were pretty clear that coding was something that they do just for work.

ETA:

> It isnt about the 9-5... it's about the passion you bring to the table. NO one achieved greatness just because we paid them a bunch of money.

"Greatness" is a term that I don't think I actually understand the meaning of. A lot of people aren't trying to become the next John Carmack. Most people that I've met who think they're some fucking genius engineer really aren't, and write really terrible code.

Maybe this isn't your intention but what you're saying is kind of coming off like some sort of purity test, and is needlessly reductive about motivations.

Fining them after several years of the bad behavior doesn't un-share the data, which means even the "first time warning" should be painful enough so that they don't chance it next time.

If the fines are cheap, companies have every motivation to try and see if they get away with shady or even knowingly illegal behavior - if not, the fine won't hurt too much and if yes, free profit.

If the fines hurt even the first time, there's a much bigger motivation to actually comply with the law from the start.

> Travel and border crossing data, recently made available thanks to an avalanche of terabytes leaked from Russian government databases, showed that Elena Šapošnikova is in possession of a secret Russian passport. Critically, her nine-digit passport number is part of a numerical range reserved exclusively for members of Unit 29155, differing from those of her colleagues only by its last two digits. Šapošnikova’s is 646518955.

That is very sloppy of Russia. Why even bother doing something so dumb?

> Šapošnikova used this passport to travel between Greece and Russia on at least two occasions, once in December 2015 and the second time in December 2017. In both cases, she used sophisticated tradecraft that sought to leave no trace in databases accessible to European authorities. For instance, she booked her trips and bought her plane tickets using her Czech passport, registering only that nationality with the Greek airline. But upon crossing the Russian border, Šapošnikova used her secret Russian passport, thus bypassing the need to obtain a Russian visa issued to her as a Czech citizen and eliding the digital footprint associated with the relevant application.

How does "bypassing the need to obtain a Russian visa" "elide the digital footprint associated with the relevant application"? Why would the Czech government learn of a visa application to Russia?

The airline most likely would want to know that Šapošnikova had a visa, so they would have looked, and Šapošnikova would have shown them her Russian passport, which the airline probably would have reported to Czech authorities (I imagine that's what happens normally).

So this is just more sloppiness, or at least TFA reaches the wrong conclusion about the point of not Šapošnikova not applying for a visa. Perhaps she should have applied for a visa so as not to have to reveal her Russian passport to the airline, or she should have had a different Russian passport to show the airline.

In any case, having a block of passport numbers for a super-secret ops team is just beyond dumb. It's so dumb that I'm not sure I believe it -- I might sooner believe that such evidence was planted than that such evidence is real, but maybe the Russians just don't have enough Soviet-era intelligence clue left and haven't developed enough post-Soviet intelligence capabilities.

This is blatant misinformation, and the legislators "discussing" this clearly barely know what the technology is, let alone the political and social ramifications for its use or misuse. Not even to mention that all the major social media platforms have similar invasions of privacy and skewed messaging on them - not at all unique to tiktok. There has been zero evidence of the CCP influencing what American citizens see on tiktok, it's pure speculation based on Bytedance being a Chinese company. And besides, if they wanted to, meta/YT/etc. make it trivially easy for them to do anyway - you don't even need tiktok or control of it.

Unless your point is literally "The united states should be the only one spewing blatant propaganda to its citizens," what you're saying lacks any real substance and is just parroting talking heads on stations like fox and cnn.
> It's a whole different paradigm than your UPS under your desk is: With your UPS, your system(s) receive a signal that things are running on local battery, and you've elected to configure things to use that signal to order an automated shutdown.

The setup you described there wasn't the situation I was describing at all.

I was describing a situation where there is utility power, a UPS, and a standby generator. When the utility power goes out, the generator has to start, stabilize, and only then can the load be transferred off the battery.

The requirement is that the UPS meet this current power demand for longer than the generator start up and transfer time (the "holdover time" I was speaking about in the previous post.)

For things like frequency response the holdover time is a fixed requirement. ERCOT requires all energy storage resources be able to maintain output for 15 minutes.

24gb is as big as the M3 can be built given the available LPDDR stacks.

The bigger crime is that the 15" can't be configured with the M3 Pro... particularly given the less-ambitious spec compared to M1/M2 Pro. Things like not supporting a second external display make the 15" MBA a non-starter as an 'ultrabook' even with 24GB configurations.

With the M3 Pro, since you get a 192b memory bus, you'd have options up to 36GB as well as dual external display, which is at least adequate for the class of product.
Of course. What did we expect? Can't trust tech corpo these days.
but look at this from the kid's perspective.

> Why then are we discussing an impossible situation?

The only people discussing it are you and I, and we are discussing it because you brought it up. If you don't know why you wanted to talk about it, I guess the question is unanswerable.

Everyone else was quite explicitly talking about Communist states, which means we know that the topic was about states under rule by the Communist Party. That is not an impossible situation. That is a very real situation. But communism has no state. That is one of its defining features. We know that "Communist state" fundamentally cannot refer to communism.

> Why not discuss Magicism

Well, since you also brought it up, I guess we can. But there is no evidence I am aware of that indicates magic is a thing. I am not sure where you could go with it.

Post-scarcity is a thing. According to the UN we are already there when it comes to food. Shelter has been more elusive to get us all the way to "full" post-scarcity, with it still being approximately as difficult to build a house today as 200 years ago, but slow progress is being made. It is quite conceivable that some kind of technology could change the game there, as has already been done for food.

Yet, despite already having the technology to lift us from food scarcity, many people go hungry each day. Communists will blame that kind of mismatch on capitalists creating a situation of artificial scarcity. Cases like the Monsanto story, of which you are probably familiar, provide some justification to their perspective. They believe that socialism is the only way to overcome that hurdle in order to pave the way to post-scarcity. Theories can be off base, but one can at least understand where they are coming from.

Where do Magicists come from? What is the foundation of their theory?
Stupid laws that hurt society shouldn't be defended, and those that defend such laws simply because "it's the law" are not worthy of being taken seriously.

Except that they don't really work well against Russia, if you ask anyone in those small and formerly depressive Russian cities where property prices are currently rising. Parallel imports and proxy exports do magic, bureaucrats in the financial block of the government handle monetary policy extremely well, China is helpful and half of the world simply does not care or directly benefits from this war.

Indeed. It's maybe worth reflecting on the apparent conflict there. What info are you missing, that could explain the conflict? The IA folks aren't crazy, but they are opinionated and willing to take action where others might not, and the world was in a very crazy state at the time the decision was made. Consider some sympathy for the people leading the project you feel so passionately about.
I believe the idea of not issuing passports is the opposite -> to get people to come back to Russia where they can face consequences?

I’d argue that the US puts far too much weight on “social success”. Our culture will consider someone who is not some extreme extrovert or constantly seeking attention a social failure.

The older you get, the more important family becomes and your group of close friends is typically small.

Maintaining a large number of superficial friendships is typically some you grow out of anyway, so maybe we should be teaching kids to skip that step.
That was what I was going to say. You can't fine them $8B if the precedent wasn't set yet.
I don't think it's comparable, for several reasons:

1. With pot and alcohol, the law is on your side. Any kid will understand that you don't let them do pot and alcohol, it isn't even legal. They may find workarounds if they are rebel enough, but at least they will understand your point of view just fine. With phones, even a normal, properly-raised kid can struggle to understand why you are depriving them from what their peers have, is commonly seen as normal and other parents may be actively validating.

2. If social media become the primary means of communication for the class, not using them means being marginalized. It's not even a matter of "they laugh at me because I don't drink", which can be overcome with self-esteem and self-confidence, even if it's difficult. It's a simple matter of people making plans and your kid not even finding out because they can't communicate.

3. The sheer magnitude of the phenomenon and the network effect. I can imagine that if your kid were in a class where 90% did pot, it would be very difficult if not impossible to stop them (other than by just sending them to a different school). But that kind of prevalence is common with social media...
