> Italians are not any more entitled to Caesar's Legacy than the Japanese

If the Japanese settled in Italy in the 500s AD and lived there for 1500 years telling stories about Caesar and spent centuries adopting him as an honorary forefather, yeah, I'd say they were entitled to his legacy. It's not like he's around to mind.

The modern French identify strongly with the Gauls (to the point where most Gallic scholarship is in French) even though their language is of Latin descent and they're mostly descended from the Germanic tribes that came later.

The modern English identify strongly with the early Britons (to the point where their largest folk hero is the King of the Britons) even though they're mostly descended from the very people who displaced them.

This is just a pattern applied across the world every time nations migrate. I'm going to need a better explanation than a Japanese straw man for why the North Macedonians shouldn't be entitled to the same kind of folk-hero appropriation that the English are.
> Easy, SSD NVMe was never recognised by the BIOS, according to it there was no disk.

I'm missing something here. I assume that, if something isn't recognized at the BIOS level, then the OS can't do anything about it?
Greek workers have the option to work in any of the 27 EU countries, and a few non-EU countries like Switzerland and Norway.

Given that there is a shortage of skilled workers prompting this policy, it makes little sense to allow employers to demand more unpaid overtime of workers. That just means more Greeks working outside of Greece.

Greek workers already work more hours than any other EU country while making basically no money, so making Greeks work even more hours should probably not be a government priority.

Removing needless regulation and speeding up government permits would be a better idea.
Your reply implies that in this specific case there is no fusion. I know that plasma can occur without it, but this discussion is about the specific machine.
I' ve done 2 large software migrations in my life, here are my findings:
1. If you can't do gradual deployment, try to do a primary-secondary (master/slave) type of deployment where new system runs in read-only mode (mirroring old system data) for a while.
2. Whatever you budgeted for migrating data, double it. Set a data cleansing specialist to start working on the data-to-be migrated ASAP.
3. Document all processes of the current system. Have the painful conversations up-front about functionality that will be eliminated, migrating usually means eliminating a bunch of features that do not pass the cost/benefit threshold. Your users/stakeholders might not see it that way, make it explicit what the cost of those features is, get as much buy-in as possible
4 or 3 day work weeks are better.
With currently half the western population pushing a significant anti-science agenda (even greater than half if you consider that there’s also not insignificant anti-science ideals in various left wing groups as well, albeit not usually to the point of ripping kids out of education), that seems like a nearly impossible proposition unless there’s a significant political awakening.

There are no vacancies. On the contrary, there's a whole slew of 20-somethings willing to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for six months for 1k/mo so they have some money during the winter.
People weren't extra responsible before, it was that their diet and exercise patterns were healthier even without them particularly trying.

Getting stuck on individual responsibility as a route to society-wide change is a smooth road to failure.

A small percentage of humans can catch some hands and get stuffed into lockers by the rest of us who would prefer not to be led by them.
The small core approach is way too unwieldy and the cruft only seems to be piling on further. There are constant efforts to fragment the ecosystem (like for example currently Deno and Bun, exciting as those projects may be on their own merit), while there is seemingly no interest anywhere in creating a standard library to solve the issue of those frightening dependency trees.
Job switching should be less of a problem with a 12% unemployment rate, though.

We have found there are different personality profiles of communicators that are more or less effective at using the tools.

Those that communicate like supervisors with a wide range of language at their disposal for approaching a problem from many directions can be more effective.

Note that none of these tools are useful for those working at the bleeding edge of human knowledge.
Thanks..right I know about plasma in general, I just assumed in this case it was caused by the fusion. Maybe not. But they have fusion right? Just not recovering any/enough energy to make up for power requirements.

This is not a requirement. You can have outputs that have no "address". They are just hanging there. The risk for non-pubkey signed messages is that once you broadcast your script, anyone else can consume your outputs.
This looks cool. At first pass, I have one big question: are there any facilities or even just plumbing for syncing between installs / front-ends?

SaaS/cloud approaches have real downsides in terms of ownership but the big upside is access from multiple points/devices (home desktop, browser on office machine, personal laptop, mobile device, etc). Obviously SaaS isn't the only way to do that, centralizing around self-hosting or some syncing feature can work too. Anything like that on the radar?

You can do that. However there's an issue with basing a business around reaching out to people with bad-faith offers the week their parents died or they were hospitalized themselves.

No unless you want your turbine to be neutron activated. (You don't.)

You would pump water through the reactor and use a heat exchanger to a secondary water loop which powers the turbine. Maybe you can do without the secondary loop altogether, not sure; this ITER document suggests only one loop, but it's super vague: https://www.iter.org/sci/MakingitWork

> If WebGL takes the whole page with it when it crashes, that's kind of on the browser to fix.

On the contrary, it's on the Farm team to fix. It seems their front page has only one error boundary, which is why the chart component crashing takes the whole page down. This is fixed by simply wrapping the chart component in its own error boundary. That way React doesn't unmount practically the whole page when that component throws an error.

Escrow․Com Is a Bully
Ever since Freelancer․com took over Escrow․com, it's a complete downhill road trip.

A more detailed story will be in a later thread.

This happens to many people, not just me. Many people in the domain name industry have been calling out their bullshit practice.

Basically Escrow․com and even their CEO, Matt Barrie (who doesn't have good reputation amongs tech entrepreneurs, he's really grumpy towards customers) (he's also the founder of Freelancer․com) tried to bully me on a review of a transaction for the past 3 months.

What I reported on TrustPilot was the truth and the full story. They tried to remove that review once and failed. They tried again today after I was having a fit with Matt Barrie, the CEO of Escrow․com and Freelancer․com on X/Twitter.

I was willing to let it go since I can deal with my case via UDRP later, but they just kept bullying me and tried to get the reviews removed to protect their already bad reputation (2.7 stars on TrustPilot).

They are not fit to run a escrow service.

I'm planning to move my portfolio to Atom․com (with recently announced AtomPay) or EscrowDomains․com to see if they are better.

I already have one ultra premium domain listed on Atom, which was signed an exclusive contract with the top branding advisory firm, Hilco Global (investor of Atom), last year.

I don't like bully, and Escrow․com is behaving exactly like one. Having worked in the cybersecurity space for over 10 years, I've been dealing with a bunch of bullies, hackers, cyber criminals, script kiddies.

This case is quite interesting to me, because Escrow․com CEO reflects his leadership style and work ethics as a bully all the way down to the whole Escrow․com team, as you will see in their frontline support if you experience them recently.

I will spend my spare time making sure that this escrow market is balanced with more competitions at least from Atom and EscrowDomains․com instead of just being dominated by the currently untrustworthy Escrow․com

Who knows if they improve in the future, but right now it's giving people, not just me, a very bad taste.

Matt Barrie should back off from being the leader of Escrow․com at least, and back off from scolding customers like they are children.
George Gammon made a video yesterday about it. I don't personally know what derivatives even mean, but i do know in 2007 something like that happened, triple A derivatives of mortgages or something.

Even if that's not it, the bubbles will start pop off soon, end of summer or end of the year, and it will take years for the process to complete, 5 years probably. For 5 years, each bubble will pop one by one.

My point is, at the end of the process, and only then, serious automation will start to happen, because they will not have the ammo to stop it.

Ah, some sort of large-scale conflict to finally convince them that war is bad.
Hey thank you for your reply. I learned several interesting examples from your first paragraph in the comment.

I do think your last sentence here was unnecessary though:

”That is that kind of thing I mean: proofs and calculations, not "why wouldn't it?"”

When I said “why wouldn’t it” I was asking out of genuine curiosity. There really wasn’t any need to criticize that part. It came off as maybe more hostile than I think you intended.

Again I most certainly appreciate you taking the time to type up the rest of your comment though because I did learn quite a bit from those examples you posted so I am indeed sincerely grateful for that.

One year ago we successfully migrated to a new version (totally big bang) with less than 4 hours downtime, for us it was version 3 and v1 and v2 (plus a side service) both was working side by side (v2 was a failed migration so they ended up a frankenstein system which some requests goes to v2 and some other to v1 and they put data in each other's databases. yes not a single source of truth for all the data in database) and here are my three cents:

1. Don't - i don't know the size of the software but for us it was lots of works specially at weekends and holidays. after release almost half of the developers quits and the other half were exhausted. totally doesn't worth that.

2. Don't - if its possible to fix and refactor current version please do that. you would thank yourself later. we had 15 months of developments and in the middle of the project we need some features and fundemental fixes for our current version which we ended up another minor migration that we called v2.9.

3. Don't - only do it if you had to and do it incrementally as others suggested. start by building a microservice for most used domain of your application with api backward compatibility (if possible) and even use same database you are already using.

If you can't refactor current version (which i can't understand why) and you insist to have a bigbang migration know the current system well and know every column in the database(s) since you will need to migrate millions of data at the end which is a big project by itself.
Atari and Amiga were equally popular in Germany and much more common than PCs when I grew up. The major difference was that Amigas were much more common for gaming and Ataris were largely work machines (music and DTP). In my experience both were actually much more common in Europe than in the US where Macs and IBM PCs were more common (I did an exchange year and didn't see one Amiga or Atari)
They're always hot on my trail... but between you and me, you want to know what they can do? :)

I think this is where I go by default, and I've described it before as a low-resolution wireframe. Only the particular part I'm paying attention to is there but I know what's around it and can shift focus as needed.

I found a DGX H100 for $300k. The internet tells me such a server uses 10kw. I found a 30kw solar system with 90kw of lithium battery storage for $70k. At utility scale I don't think there's any risk of AI causing a problem to the grid when a dedicated supply of power for an AI server can clearly be purchased for less than 20% of the system cost. (Realistically I expect the lifespan of solar panels and the batteries is easily 2x-4x the lifespan of the server, so it's probably closer to 5% or even lower.)

Solar and batteries make power basically a solved problem. Relative to GPUs it's cheap and scalable.

AWS codepipeline/codebuild still takes a really long time. think 1 minute to notice a commit, 2 minutes to download code, 3-8 minutes to get a codebuild runner, however long your build is, and 30 seconds to update the lambda.

Especially when you don't have a good local AWS runner, vs using a HTTP service you can run and live reload on your laptop.

deploying to prod in less than 10 seconds, or even /live reloading/ the AWS service would be awesome.
Um, I reacted to this exchange in context:

>>Why should we turn information into a "product"[...]

> Because [...]

That clearly indicates that you're in fact advocating it to be a product. Perhaps I misunderstood your post, but then I'm afraid you're not making yourself very clear. I'm also not seeing any references to survival in your post, just of incentivizing where work goes, so I am fairly certain what you think you write is not what you actually write.
What the article probably means is "they get those two hours back in lieu" and "140% pay on the sixth day".

What already has been happening in reality is that workers work ten/twelve-hour days for no overtime, and the sixth day is unpaid. We've been working six-day workweeks ever since I can remember (so at least forty years), and probably much longer than that.
The government service that does work inspections was soft-abolished. There is tons of immigrants that work in slavery conditions. Undocumented workers are everywhere because the taxes are too high for both workers and businesses. There was write-off of old debts for millionairs. The link below shows how government documents get stored in my home town. There are also images of people from a tax office "moving documents for storage" by throwing them out of the window to the back of a truck. We are a third world country.

That kind of misrepresents the situation because our social and economic systems screw over the employees whose jobs are automated away.

Initially there's the same amount of work, but if they don't find something else to do, they won't be able to pay their bills or buy food, and they'll be out on the street.

So we end up with crappy, low pay service jobs that only exist so people have some way to scrape out a living.

The business owners benefit from automation, the employees lose.
With the current level of investment in video codecs, it takes about 6-8 years to achieve a 40-50% BD-rate improvement between codec generations. That amounts to thousands of inventions over the course of those years. Without patents, I bet the level of progress would be abysmal.

What vested interest are you referring to? What incentive is there for companies like InterDigital, Ericsson, Nokia, or even Qualcomm to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on each generation of codecs?

It takes a lot of money to sustain research and development in video codecs. A decent researcher makes between 100-300k USD a year. Each generation of H.26x requires hundreds of researchers. JVET meetings have an attendance of about 350 people, four times a year.

And don’t get me started on the computational side. A single research team needs thousands of CPUs running 24/7 to sustain the research. Video codecs are seriously slow during development. They get fast once dedicated hardware is built.

As a video coding scientist, it baffles me how people assume that our work should be free. We work enormously hard for years so that YouTube and Netflix can stream higher quality video for everyone to watch. Now, why should that be free? Why do you call our work shit?
How does that work? How can they determine my execution time is spent waiting and not processing?
