The boards sizes aren't standard, however drilling holes to fix them into a bigger case isn't that hard, same for power supplies. As for the disks, there are backplanes with SATA connectors that can host for example 5x3.5" drives into a 3x5.25" bay (0), so that the NAS can be pretty solid. Unfortunately they aren't cheap but the overall cost would be still lower than buying a new NAS with comparable features and performance.

GP's tenses are both correct. It has that reputation today, as a lingering effect of how it didn't pry historically. The industry is hanging on for the time being, probably thanks to network/incumbent effects, inertia, and some limited observance of the old ways, for clients whose countries will allow it.
Am I missing something? What does Minecraft have to do with half-baked products? It seems like they went with an approach of having a free alpa/beta release until they had a release ready game, then have spent a decade adding more content to it?
Clearly you aren't paying attention so allow me to reiterate:

Regardless of one's opinion on the IA or their mission, they objectively did a stupid when they decided to fuck around with copyright law. Publishers (and judges) have demonstrated repeatedly over the last two and a half decades that from a business perspective this is the equivalent of standing on railroad tracks giving an oncoming train the bird. 10/10 for balls, 2/10 for judgement.

I got a ticket about some "folders with Chinese characters" showing up on an SMB share at work, my first thought was a Unicode issue and sure enough when you combine two UTF-8/ASCII A-z code points together as one UTF-16 code point, it will usually wind up in the CJK Common Ideographs range of Unicode. Some crappy software had evidently bypassed the appropriate Windows APIs and just directly wrote a C-style ASCII string onto the filesystem without realizing that NTFS is UTF-16.
Typically you get XML for showplan because it can represent the tree structure better.
VMs really can be. They have a long history in code portability. In the old days it really wasn't uncommon to use an approach centered around some interpretable byte code running in a vm, where the reusable vm was all that needed porting to different architectures and operating systems. This all happened well before Java.

It was really big in gaming, Zork, Sierra games, LucasArts games, and even a few more "action" games like Flashback were all designed around VMs to make porting somewhat sane. Running the byte code is usually not the performance bottleneck in these cases but drawing stuff to the screen is, and the VM had to handle that.
As an aside, even gpt4 level quality does not feel satisfactory to me lately. I can’t imagine willingly using models as dumb as llama2-13b. What do you do with it?
That is not the only way. There are other ways of knowing partial contents of files and changes to files, depending on the situation. If the document is a known form in which one of five boxes is checked by the sender, it's probably not hard to rule out certain selections based on the ciphertext length, if not pin down the contents exactly.

I think the difference is that Minecraft alpha/beta was fun and actually promised very little. I paid for the beta (used cracked clients before then, when I was 12) and enjoyed it for what it was, I couldn't have cared less about "future updates". There was never any mention of "future features" in Minecraft (then-guerilla) marketing.

And what the bloody hell does it matter? If there's one site where I'd expect little in the way of always idiotic Rah Rah war fever, it's this one, yet here it is. A country's government should be distinguished from its people, and treating them all at the same level as if they were garbage without knowing their circumstances is plainly, obviously brainless as it's always been. During the First World War many people started piling shit on anyone with a German last name because "they're our enemy!" and the second one, many people did the same with hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese immigrants. Truly, do intelligent people with a brain really feel a need to support such a mentality today?

What Namecheap did in its own minor turf didn't require balls. It was the easiest sort of falsely brave kowtowing to a popular sentiment. Balls is what's required to ignore politically and socially fashionable labels for the sake of deeper principles.
The Kobol Helios64 was one, but they stopped development a few years ago.

That's a bit too charitable to the first iPhone. I had one too, and it was heavily lambasted for being virtually unusable with an Edge connection as well as being attached to AT&T... and unsubsidised. Even on wifi it was fairly stuttery, but yes, it had a real web browser which was remarkable.

It was a great product though if you wanted to be future-shocked and to draw a ton of attention in public. But the 3g is where it took off as a consumer device.

Of course something like this product is on the verge of snake oil in comparison.
Approval voting is just a different flavor of the same popular candidate tyranny. We need to be able to express support for non-duopoly candidates over the duopoly ones, and not continue to be held hostage fully supporting mainstream party #1 by the threat of mainstream party #2.

Unfortunately this devolves into geeking out over voting systems. Despite having the most popular support, Instant Runoff Voting is also a hot mess with its surprising nonintuitive outcomes. The way I see it, RCV/Condorcet is the way to go, regardless of the criticism that it allows for ties - it's criteria is straightforward and what most people would consider fair. Solve the ties with a tiebreaker IRV round (same input data type) or just a second election since they're going to be really rare with any significant population (how many times do we have ties with plurality?)
The old classic fast-sexual is a bag full of fruit flies.

I recall driving and listening to the CBC back in the 90s. Apparently at that time, there had been fruit flies found which could metabolize DDT. It wasn't population wide, but obviously enough had that mutated capability for it to be discovered.

I wonder when that first evolved? Hard to say, but it must have been years before? And wide-spread DDT use started in the 50s.

But of course, fruit flies can reproduced + hatch every week or two?

Hmm, interesting speculation here:

The product owner in a company should be defining success for the development goals in agile, not beta tested on the paying public.
No, because the amount of people that actually follow through the warranty vs. just buying a new lamp is so small, that even with a bad product it's worth the cost of covering them.
Databases tend to pack rows efficiently enough that there are scenarios where this is noticeable.
What constitutes a major difference? That's subjective.

You just described the human mind. What we see in our heads is wholly imagined, mostly correlated to reality. You see things clearly, without the huge empty spot in the middle or fuzzy black-and-white periphery. And usually without hallucinations, where our predictive minds miscalculates and adds in things to our imagined interior world that don't exist in reality.
I'm curious, what makes you think the OP is LLM generated?

I've been able to debug PostgreSQL issues reported by [closed] Solaris users by booting illumos inside a virtual machine on my laptop in minutes...

I want to keep AIX support, for, well mainly irrational nostalgic reasons -- PostgreSQL used to run on pretty much the entire Unix family tree, and I wrote lots of code on AIX for a decade. But they make it hard. I don't know why an OS vendor wouldn't make an image of an OS available to developers as conveniently as possible (it is even possible to boot recent AIX versions on QEMU if you have the patience... the hypothesis is that they might have done work to make that possible, 'cause it didn't work in earlier versions; but you can't get an image of OS, so shrug).
I Made a Friendly AI Assistant
It's unfortunate that the only reason this problem exists is because people buy into the marketing. But the amazingly ironic part about this is that MKBHD / Marques Brownlee has hocked this type of garbage (aka sponsorships) for years, propping up a lot of this bad behavior along the way. Personalities like him are "celebrities" from a lot of consumer's perspectives, and they trust what he says verbatim. From an objective stance his reviews are lackluster: they contain very little data and no fundamental framework that underscore his "reviews". He's a YouTuber with an opinion that is being influenced by sponsor marketing money. Yet his well crafted productions are pretty and easy to consume, which sells and Google puts it front and center. To say that he has a "core philosophy" is laughable. The entertainment I would watch is if people like him had to disclose all earned income along with these videos. I'd gather a lot of his loyal following would start putting those dollars to sense with respect to how his videos are positioned: call-out, hype generating, brand supremacy, etc...

Running bytecode is much lower latency than compiling into native code. If you're not bottlenecked by running the bytecode (as opposed to memory or disk speed), you don't really have to JIT it any further into native code.
We are probably looking at galaxies when we look at some stars and have no idea how many turtles deep things go.

> then it's completely reasonable, arguably expected, for you to act on principles higher than money.

Well that was kind of my point. I see people act on principles of morality when it doesn't negatively affect their convenience and at the same time ignore those principles when it affects their convenience. For me that is the definition of a double standard.

That's it. I'm not saying we should put these people in jail ;)

VMs are a persistently underrated tool by people who think the conversation begins and ends at VirtualBox. They are a phenomenal way to constrain the surface area of what one's own code has to target, and that's always a plus.

That does seem very unreasonable or misleading. If they are implying that everyone should just supplement, it would be bullshit, since current science as far as i know is that supplementation hardly does anything. Impeoving vitamin d status through solving the underlying conditions that cause it, this may be an argument, but then it's phrased completely the wrong way.

This bad approach is why backspace and cursors keys are ignored in many layouts because they don't appear in the text corpus, which is a bigger issue than rewrites

You do need a keylogger, and a context-aware one at that for proper analysis, otherwise it's better to just use an existing layout, won't get much extra from personal corpus anyway, so not worth the effort to do a poor personalized analysis
I think there are a bunch of encodings that just repurposed a few ASCII characters as different characters - someone on this page was giving the example of some Swedish encoding where {}| were replaced with three accented Swedish letters. There are probably a bunch of others. In those cases, the text will decode fine as UTF-8, but it will display the wrong thing.

We’ve seen a few examples of new species coming about. HeLa cell line being a rather gruesome but still interesting example.

Also, science tests models not history. There’s quite a bit you can predict via evolution that turned out to be verified from new discoveries. Consider you look at the local geology and then make predictions about what fossils will be discovered where and then check the actual rocks, that’s an experiment.

Skin oil does not provide any UV blocking.

The oil in sunscreen is to make it spreadable and dilute the UV-absorbing ingredients, which are things like avobenzone, oxybenzone, and so on.

No offense, but you could have googled "active ingredients in sunscreen."

Further: just because something is called an "oil" doesn't mean it has any similar physical properties compared to another oil.

Recipes for soap date back something like 5,000 years, by the way - and probably were passed down by oral history or demonstration even earlier.

You don't seem qualified to be making (or evaluating) the theories you are coming up with. Not in terms of basic scientific knowledge, critical thinking skills, or research skills.

Your "people didn't wash back then so they had natural sunscreen" is about as well-reasoned as the people who think keto is the best diet because "it's what cavemen ate" (hint: people ate whatever was available to them in their area.)

These AI assistants (Rabbit R1, Humane AI Pin), as they exist now, probably can be replaced by apps. However, if you give them the benefit of the doubt and think about what they're supposed to be (or eventually will be), owning the platform is a must.

An example: Google/Apple doesn't allow third-party apps access to call audio. So you couldn't implement live translation/transcription, by just being an app.

Google/Apple will jealously guard their turf in their ecosystems (to make space for their own AI assistants probably), so this level of third-party access is unlikely to be forthcoming.

I've lived through dealing with non-UTF8 encoding issues and it was a truly gigantic pain in the ass. I'm much more on the side now of people who only want to deal with UTF8 and fully support software that tells any other encoding to go pound sand. The harder life gets for people who use other encodings (yes, particularly Microsoft) the more incentive they have to eventually get on board and stop costing everyone time and effort managing all this nonsense.

The report linked by my parent talks about 53% being a great turnout for Arab voters, as it was up from only 44.6% a year earlier. However this number has been going down all this century. If compared to Israel as a whole, it is very worrying to a point where I would call it a democratic flaw, as the general population has election participation around 70%.

Talking about the colonization of Jaffa was in response to the peace deal, where DiogenesKynikos said:

> This is a massive concession, because the Palestinians have given up their claim to places like Haifa and Jaffa, which used to be almost 100% Palestinian cities, and which they were unjustly driven out of. So far, no Israeli government has reciprocated and acknowledged a Palestinian "right to exist."

Jaffa was colonized in 1948 by displacing almost all of their residents, most are still to this day refugees in Gaza or Lebanon, two-three generations later. Jaffa still exists as a placename, but the city does not, it has been completely annexed into Tel Aviv, which used to be a suburb of Jewish settlers (according to the Wikipedia article I just read). I don’t see a comparison with Saint Paul (which is still an independent city) or San Antonio.

The concession of relinquishing claims to Jaffa is nothing short of the concessions which the Irish nationalists did when they relinquished claims to Belfast. In return Ireland actually got statehood and eventual independence. Years later Catholics living in Belfast got equal rights, political representation and a political avenue for decolonization.

If the British would have behaved like Israel, they would have driven almost every Catholic out of what would become Northern Ireland before 1921 (they had already renamed all their placenames centuries prior) made sure those that remained had no affiliations with Catholics in the Free state, denied them the right to return, moved British Protestants into the vacant areas (they had also done that centuries prior), and never actually given the Irish free state political recognition. Even after the nationalists gave up any claims to Belfast.

I shouldn't have used the word asymptote; I should have said logarithmic. I don't doubt a best-case situation where we get a GPT-5, GPT-6, GPT-7, etc; each is more capable than the last; just that there will be more months between each, it'll be more expensive to train each, and the gain of function between each will be smaller than the previous.

Let me phrase this another way: Llama 3 400B releases and it has GPT-5 level performance. Obviously; we have not seen GPT-5; so we don't have a sense of what that level of performance looks like. It might be that OpenAI simply has a one year lead, but it might also be that all these frontier model developers are stuck in the same capability swamp; and we simply don't have the compute, virgin tokens, economic incentives, algorithms, etc to push through it (yet). So, Meta pulls ahead, but we're talking about feet, not miles.
