It's probably a lost cause like a lost trademark like Kleenex, crazy glue, and band aid, but since this is an intellectually-curious crowd, you might like to know that brutalism is not a 1:1 replacement of "visible concrete." It is so much more.

Even in wikipedia, the general definition is there but obscured. Despite nearly every pictorial example in wikipedia featuring exposed concrete (as well as reddit's r/brutalist), any material can be found in a brutalist design. It must merely be exposed and accepted for what it is. e.g. wood shown to be wood and allowed to warp, decay, or even grow, as opposed to being overlaid with drywall. Stones not just in a foundation or a garden, but in a living room. This honesty and connection to materials is in contrast to the "dominating" sense of "brutalism," of which cheap government buildings are often twisted up in.

Though the pictures on wikipedia are misleading, certain quotes from the page are worth reading. Specifically when brutalism is described as "an ethic, not an aesthetic".

And also:
"Peter Smithson believed that the core of brutalism was a reverence for
materials, expressed honestly, stating "Brutalism is not concerned with the material as such but rather the quality of material",[33] and "the seeing of materials for what they were: the woodness of the wood; the sandiness of sand."

> find an old daisy-wheel printer

I'm definitely on board with the analog approach, but this is interesting. What's the reason for recommending a daisy-wheel printer compared to other printing technologies? Is it just that the deformation caused by the impact of the type serves as additional redundancy or is the ink (or its adhesion to the paper) somehow superior to other printing processes in this regard?

I know trademark litigation is wishy-washy, but can she even claim her voice is unique enough to claim some form of infringement? If I just happen to sound like her, am I a walking infringement?

Voices such as Shatner or Walken are at least as much about speech patterns than the voice, giving you another axis to compare voices against, so I can somewhat see those as being trademarkable. But when I hear the ChatGPT voice, it just sounds like "slightly-flirty generic female voice 03" to me.
I could see that, actually. When the one percent can just escape the consequences of forever chemicals, there's no longer a need to actually do anything against them in their eyes. Just as with climate change, where a lot of them hope they are insulated from the worst fallout by having homes all over the world, so that they can avoid political instability caused by mass migration after draughts and the like.

But I guess we first have to agree on "who" we are taking about - is it the company itself or the owner / shareholders ?

Back to your question, yes that could happen in several different cases. But of course the risk/benefit is not split 50/50 (nor 0 risk, 100 upside, as you said), in reality the future outcome depends on both internal and external events.

It is probably why these traits are not in the majority.

Humans have complex social behaviors and are subject to a lot of higher order group selection. There can be lots of people who don’t directly participate in reproduction who indirectly do so. Community and economy are central to what made us the top large organism on Earth. We are very complex social creatures, probably the most on this planet.

But as long as humans reproduce as they do with such high overhead, the mainstream of our population is going to be selected so that the center is aligned with that.

It was pretty subtle dystopian. On surface it was a feel good movie about that guy becoming happy. But there were a few scenes were it was happening to a lot of people. Everyone with a cell phone basically was falling in love with it, and totally controlled by their love.

It was left a little in doubt whether the AI really did reach 'enlightenment' and beam itself to the stars, or the company/government shut it down because society was collapsing.

This is a very good read. Reminds me some of my own experiences working in a toxic environment. Though in my case it wasn't about chemicals but the product I worked on was intentionally being run into the ground for political reasons that are still somewhat obscure to me.

It's a horrible experience; the constant gaslighting grinds you down.

I can especially relate to the idea of being paid to do something that nobody in the company actually wants you to do. The better you are at your job, the more they hate you.

I wouldn't be surprised if they actually wanted her to fail. I bet if she had lied and started reporting that there were no PFOS and made up some BS that the old methods of testing were arcane and her new (intentionally flawed) method is better, they would have given her a huge raise and she would have been made employee of the year.

That's the kind of stuff that happened at my previous employer. All the liars and saboteurs at that company ended up being promoted within the company or hired by other companies with big salaries to help them run projects into the ground; which they did diligently.

The problem is that Artemis is in many ways inferior to Apollo. It is less safe, more expensive (which is to say something!), less capable,... If the goal is to build a moon base, it should be able to do what Apollo did with ample margins, but from the look of it, it doesn't appear like there is much margin. It is complexity for complexity sake, it doesn't translate into more payload, more scientific potential, or lower costs.

The only breakthroughs with Artemis is the part with Starship, the refueling in space part could change the deal for future mission, for the Moon, Mars, or elsewhere. And finding an excuse to write a blank cheque to SpaceX is, I think, not too bad an idea despite all the Elon Musk bullshit. SpaceX actually launches rockets, they are even pretty good at it, a rare thing. But do we really need all that baggage with SLS, Orion, and convoluted orbits? Just have SpaceX send a Starship to the moon (which is one of the last points in the article).

The idea to start with USB at the first place is ridiculous. If it can't be printed on paper it should be based on some kind of dead simple serial protocol with relatively low baudrate so almost anyone with description of that protocol can reconstruct it on computational device used 200 years in the future.

The USB itself is thousands of lines of code for USB driver in computer and special USB physical interface as well which might not be even manufactured in 200 years.

It would be like today looking on some crazy parallel interface from 70s using non standard bit sizes (i.e 12 bit sizes bus) with complicated timing patterns and 5V TTL on physical layer if you are lucky.

Unless a dog eats it
I must agree with the other poster that there are key differences between numpy and Matlab (and Julia).

All 1D/2D arrays in both Matlab and Julia come endowed with linear algebra semantics, so that `A*B` is a matrix product, while in numpy it is not, you have to create an actual `numpy.matrix`, which is a different class. Matlab is not consistent, though, so exp(A) in matlab will work element-wise, as will numpy (both for array and matrix), while julia returns a matrix exponential. The same difference goes for other functions like sqrt, sin, etc.. In Matlab, reduction functions typically work column-wise, so for example sum(A) returns the sum of each column as a 1xN matrix, while in julia and numpy the sum functions will return a sum over all the elements as a scalar. The same goes for max/min, etc.

Both Python and Julia have actual scalars, and with numpy, both have actual vectors, while Matlab has neither. Numpy's matrices, on the other hand are, conceptually, vectors of vectors (even though they are stored as contiguous memory) meaning that for example iteration behaves very differently in numpy than in Julia. Numpy iterates row-by-row, Julia iterates element-by-element. Matlab iterates column-by-column, though I rarely see that used in the wild.

Indexing, too, is different (and I skip the zero-vs-one-based stuff): indexing (with a single index) into a 2d array in numpy produces a row-vector, indexing into a julia or matlab 2d array produces an element (even though iteration in matlab produces column, as mentioned). Another point is that numpy slices return views, while the other two languages return copies (or, actually, matlab returns views that are copied if you try to modify them...)

Numpy arrays have restrictions on the sort of types they will accept. Elements must either be built-in numpy types, or the catch-all `object`, which is basically an untyped container that holds pointers to `anything`. In contrast, everything is a matrix in Matlab, so even user-class objects are held in homogenously typed matrices. Julia arrays will allow anything you like. Built-in types, user-types, homogenously, abstractly or heterogeneously typed (unions). And bitstypes are stored inline, not as pointers.

There are many differences, both semantic and practical, both between matlab and numpy, matlab and julia, and julia and numpy, this is just off the top of my head.

(Actually, I should have gone more into the syntax stuff, constructor syntax is way different in numpy, as is the way you do operations, with numpy using `obj.method()` to a large extent, unlike matlab and julia, which use regular function call syntax for array operations.)
Not everything, but there might not be any surviving copies of the datasheet around. It's reasonably close to generic SPI flash chips that you could probably reverse engineer it, but it's not a guarantee.

This gadget is still interesting for its price. It's about as expensive as 50 sheets of archival quality paper and a lot more convenient.

If you want to assure durability there are better methods. Good paper, parchment, fired clay, or high tech ideas like storing data in glass. But in terms of easy and cheap methods for one or two human lifespans this occupies a niche (together with archival-quality CDs and the like)

> there's no guarantee the systems of the future will still be able to read file systems and data formats encoded in the standards of today

If modern society survives continuously for 200 years, I don't see any reason we couldn't read current formats if they're actually standard and/or well-documented; we can, for example, still read original unix filesystems, if nothing else by running actual original unix in (open)simh, and that's 45-50 years old already.

I used a different technique that seems to work well in practice. Prehash the names of the nodes beforehand. Then hash the key and combine the hashes using a much cheaper algorithm [1]. You only need to do a single hash per key as with consistent hashing and then a very fast O(n) operation instead of a hash to find the optimal node. This does degrade to an O(nlogn) sort if you need to find the N best nodes instead of the single best node (e.g. to have a concept of fallbacks that you hand off to the next link in the chain), but I found that to not actually matter where I implemented it (generally was routing on < 100 nodes total in the first place).

You're saying "we need to be mission focused". If the mission is "politics", then hey, you're right - turn on the money faucet we're doing Apollo again. Developing new technology, doing science, whatever - all not actually happening.

Of course...if it's not politics, then maybe the new technology is the point? That a mission where you don't fundamentally improve how you're doing it would in fact be the only waste of money, because it's just the same pointless thing all over again.

I don't see why they should license her voice if she didn't provide the voice work. Actresses sometimes sound similar. If there's a demand that voices that sound "too similar" to well known actresses (or actors, obviously) need their okay or licensing that would seriously harm the less known ones ability to make a living with their own voice. Same with the demand to take it down because it sounds too similar. It's someone else, no reason to do something.

I'm not telling you to buy one and I don't know who needs one, but it's a bit unfair to judge it as an archival storage device when it doesn't even seem to be trying to be one.

One extra pedantic point: assuming one could reasonably expect 200 years out of not only the FRAM but the rest of it as well... you don't really want your really good data to survive 199 years before a catastrophic slightly early failure so maybe leave instructions to access and/or duplicate the data before, say, half-time (100 years).

To get those people interested, you must put together technical whitepapers/blog posts/webinars/youtube videos/etc. to explain your approach.
