Show me a government that's lasted through hundreds of years of responsible careful balanced governance.

It's just so stupid to trust governments. They won't be the same government in a couple years, in most places in the world. (Gods fear those who do remain static & fixed!) The temptation to legislate, to start saving the children or hunting terrorists by becoming a police state is a temptation that should never ever be technologically open.
Isn’t almost everything we teach kids some form of “breaking their spirit”?

The first several years of schooling are really just teaching them to sit still, listen, and do a bunch of work you hate instead of playing.

That’s breaking their spirit but it’s essential for them to become adults

> From an energy perspective its not that much more complex.

As in what exactly? Its not much more complex because you have to 'burn to moon' and 'burn to mars' which is pretty much the same because you need energy to do both??

Here, have a look at required deltaV.

>And from a living perspective, yes it is an order of magnitude, but guess what, the ship is also an order of magnitude bigger. Meaning that for a small crew you have enough space for training rooms, labs, living quarters and medical facilities and so on.

What ship?!? Labs, medical facilities wtf r u smoking.

here is spaceX graphics? Are you talking about facilities for an ant farm?

And why dont you mention how many fueling launches you need to go to the moon in an essentially 'space liferaft' vs an actual spaceship needed to get to mars?? hm?

> No. the plan is to send robotic ships first to deploy infrastructure. The atmosphere has useful stuff in it. And then you need to get water from the ice. With water and the atmosphere you can make rocket fuel and other useful materials, such as drinking water, plastics and so on.

How? Just how is that infrastructure going to get there deploy itself and... it boggles my mind how you handwave the solutions to colonising a fucking planet.

Sure mate, you played minecraft and all you need is a crafting table on mars and whabang infrastructure poof icewater mining and puryfing faclities "shazam* and your farm is ready! So easy, who thought.

It creates all the stuff that isnt in helm charts already for me. Im probably abusing it at the moment but ill see if I can make a gist and post the link. Bascally though I have a single massive package with a monolithic object. That goes env -> namespace -> resourceName -> resourceType -> resourceManifest.

Then I have a tool file that loops through that and renders it into fall files. Then argocd picks that up in chunks with application files.

Its awesome cause it lets me set project wide defaults and restrictions. It also lets me do stuff like. "If there is at least one manifest called x create an argocd application for it automatically" or " loop through these repos and create an app for each one with the following properties"

> Countries without national ID cards are not especially more privacy minded

Australia tried to introduce a national ID card in the 1980s but the concerns over privacy made the idea so politically unpalatable that the government had to kill it

But in practice, for most Australian adults, your drivers license de facto functions as a national ID card. And with modern computer databases, data matching, identity verification APIs (which governments make available to trusted private businesses such as financial institutions) - the privacy benefits of dividing your identity across multiple purpose-specific ID cards vs a single generic one are arguably more theoretical than real.

Plus, Australia is far from being a poster child for privacy, especially as far as privacy intrusions by the government go. (It arguably does somewhat better for those done by the private sector - the AU government’s messaging to corporations who wish to invade its citizen’s privacy is very much we can, you can’t)
You make a great point, and I think in situations like this, it’s an indication you should look for non-economic reasons that the plan is discussed.

Maybe the developer is currying some sort of political favor. Maybe there is some other side reason that is harder to imagine.

Who knows how much bullshit it is, but I saw in some recent discourse that Elon Musk started the hyper loop and boring companies as a way to fight rail expansion. It was never his intention to deliver on the promise of those things, but if they sounded borderline plausible, they could be used to derail train projects.

Badness 0 (Apostrophe's Version) (tom7 for SigBovik 2024)) [video]
Once a movie's defence involves it having "politics" that is a bad sign - even a 3-hour movie isn't really long enough to give politics a treatment that is interesting; the storytelling is too turgid. Game of Thrones seasons 1-3 had politics, intrigue and a bevy of nuanced characters and showcased why something like the Star Wars prequels didn't really work. A good political story needs to be long and gritty and requires an inspired writer with a deep grasp of social dynamics (Lucas fell down here pretty hard - if he had a better grasp of his own limitations he wouldn't have attempted to tell a political story).

And the politics of the prequel was uncomfortably black and white. "There is Good v. Evil and Evil Won At Politics!" is an approach with a frustratingly low-functioning level of emotional intelligence; that just isn't how interesting politics works. Part of what made GoT such a sensation was political storylines were done properly.
It doesn't accurately represent the photo, hence the issue at hand. In many ways "skateboarder in a park" is more accurate than the large number of small inaccuracies this description manages to accrue.

I'm not trying to argue against the idea of ai-generated titling, just that the product is very inferior to what even mild diletantes of the field might expect from advertised capabilities.

An insider could tip them off, then IP owner sues and Google has to produce it during discovery.
ULAs are generally static, almost all IPv6 unicast addresses are static though sometimes you may have "temporary" addresses via privacy extensions on hosts, those should only be for egress traffic out to the internet, intra-lan traffic should use ULAs.

Your ISP can change your prefix delegation, in practice this shouldn't happen often, but if your in a situation where you need to deal with it frequently on the same network (running a service with a short lived delegation) DDNS still works for IPv6.

Have you been to Queens a lot? There are essentially only two subway trunks for what is the largest NYC borough by area. Plenty of neighborhoods in Brooklyn are supplied only with bus service that gets incredibly sparse at night and on the weekends. For Staten Island residents, driving a car is as much of a daily event as in the rest of Anytown USA, plus they get to pay tolls every time they venture outside their borough. Manhattan is just the smaller part of NYC (that contains most of the money.)
Google’s data centers collectively consumed 450,000 gallons per day on average in 2021. This was cited at the time as being the same as 29 golf courses in the southwestern US.

Texas and California each have nearly 1000 golf courses. This is then roughly 15 million gallons per day per state for golf courses.

What did I write that suggests you wouldn’t get a deterministic specific sequence equivalent to a lock within the RNG? What I said is if you fail to synchronize the surrounding code’s order of calls into the RNG, then you’re going to have non-determinism anyway even with locks within the RNG.

For example:

T1:
If rng() < 0.5 {
Rng()
}

T2:
Rng()

The specific numbers returned by calls to rng() depend on the thread ordering UNLESS the user carefully has higher level synchronization themselves to guarantee the ordering. This shows that the locking within the RNG is insufficient and the better performing option that maintains equivalent invariants should be selected (i.e. initialize the TLS RNG state for the new thread from a call to read entropy from the current thread’s RNG state).
This assumes your ISP provided modem isn’t straight up user hostile and provides a pass through mode. I’m convinced t-mobile’s awful home internet modem/router is intentionally designed to make using your own router difficult and specifically only provides a /64 prefix delegation to prevent any router-behind-router setups from getting globally routed IPv6 addresses. Not to mention no port forwarding capabilities.
On an abandoned property, the land may appreciate faster than the improvements depreciate. As long as that pace exceeds the mortgage interest (if any) and property tax (ibid), it's profitable. There are other possible complications too which might swing it, like income tax deductions.

Sometimes seemingly abandoned buildings are used for one-off occasions which generate income: downtown LA is full of "historic" buildings which the owners allow to dilapidate outside of a few areas they can rent out once or twice a year to a film crew.

edit: another thing -- rich people procrastinate too, in fact many of them can afford to procrastinate on matters like this, and they may rather take a loss than confront the anxiety and work of selling or renting out the property

Since this is a municipal water supply, agricultural comparisons are not that helpful. It's the equivalent of adding 2,500 households, or 10,000ish citizens. Memphis population is about 610,000, so it's not a huge jump. A year's influx from somewhere else? That said, it's a lot more than nothing. I wonder what the pollution load is from it.

"However, some may be slow to render (like PDF), so lsix doesn't show them unless you ask specifically."

This kind of arbitrary special case can often be aggravating in software. Something's mysteriously not working for some reason and you have to hunt around to work out how to "fix" it. I'd rather see it being slow on some files (which is understandable) and if it's a pain, look for an option to skip slow files.

As someone who is generally pro-AI coding tools, I do the same. However sometimes it winds up taking me so much effort to fix the mistakes that it'd have been faster to do it myself. I often wonder if I'm seeing a net positive effort gain over time, I *think* so, but it's hard to measure.

> Lots of production processes do that.

Please remain within the context we're speaking in: final design not components. When manufacturing a component, like a resistor or chip, you do almost always have a normal distribution. You're making things with sand, metal, etc. Some bits of crystal will have defects, maybe you ended up with the 0.01% in your 99.99% purity source materials, etc. You test and bin those components so they fall within certain tolerances, so the customer sees a deterministic component. You control the distribution the customer sees as much as possible.

Someone selecting components for their design will use the tolerance of the component as the parameter of that design. You DO NOT intentionally choose a part with a tolerance wider than your design can accommodate. As I said, if you can't source a component within the tolerance you need, you force that tolerance through IQC, so that your final design is guaranteed to work, because it's always cheaper to test a component than to test something that you paid to assemble with bad parts. You design based on a tolerance, not a distribution.

> Determinism is a good goal but it's not an absolute goal and it's not mandatory.

As I said, choosing to not be deterministic, by choosing a tolerance your design can't accomodate is rare, because it's baking malfunction and waste into the design. That is sometimes done (as I said), but it's very rare, and absofuckinglutly never done with resistors tolerance selection.

> But your post gives off some pretty string implications that you need a 0% defect rate, and that's not realistic either.

> There's a point where decreasing defects costs more than filtering them.

No, defects are not intentional, by definition. There will always be defects. A tolerance is something that you can rely on, when choosing a component, because you are guaranteed to only get loss from actual defects, with the defects being bad components outside the tolerance. If you make a design that can't accommodate a tolerance that you intentionally choose, it is not a defect, it's part of the design.

0% defect has nothing to do with what I'm saying. I'm saying intentionally choosing tolerances that your design can't accommodate is very very rare, and almost always followed by IQC to bin the parts, to make sure the tolerance remains within the operating parameters of the design.

I feel like this has lead to circles. I suggest re-reading the thread.

Maybe you could give an example where you see this being intentionally done (besides Wish.com merchandise, where I would question if it's intentional).
> Not sure how IBM folks could not see this opportunity just because it was smaller scale than "what they did".

I encourage everyone to get a copy of the Hercules emulator and a copy of the "Turn Key 5" MVS distribution and spend a little time using it. The mainframe idea of "computing" and "running jobs" is so comprehensively different it's really hard to map any previous consumer computing experience into it. It's also just a lot of fun because of that.

The whole experience is centered around efficient use of machine resources while providing a comprehensive batch execution and scheduling system for centralized job execution in this environment. The level of accounting, reporting, repeatability, and job language features is actually something worthwhile to dive into.

In any case, I'm willing to bet that IBM's internal ideology is that end users wouldn't want to do the computing themselves, but would instead go to middle men who would would purchase computing either directly from IBM or as some form of "remote job entry" through a third party provider. To that end they were rapidly building out the infrastructure to do just that.

> Intel seemed to have missed the mobile market due to a similar attitude.

In both cases, they're still here, although Intel did a much better job of catching up to their past mistakes.
