Look at historic US production rates. [https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-c...]

See those 60’s-80’s numbers?

The US historically has done standard hard rock Uranium mining. It’s all over the 4 corners part of the US. High grade ore too.

The reason it stopped was due to environmental regs/health issues - and because other countries would do it for cheaper. Not because it can’t do it at scale. The little remaining may be doing in-situ leaching, but that is a tiny footnote for the vast array of available uranium mines in the US.

There is no actual strategic mining threat here, any more than there is one for bauxite or iron ore, etc.

If someone tried to restrict US uranium supply, it would be a couple years at most before we’d be squishing everyone else in output again.
Back of the envelope calculation: there are 2^32 possible IPv4 addresses, you can easily ping about 1K addresses in parallel[1] on a standard linux machine and there are 86,400 seconds in a day. So after about 50 days you tried all possible IPv4 addresses. Now set up a farm with more than 50 machines ... e.g. as a state owned actor (or a "private" bot farm) and you'll learn about newly connected machines within hours.

[1] Did actually use 1K threads to do parallel TCP connections more than 20 years ago already, so 1K is an easily reachable lower limit nowadays. You'll need an ISP which allows that to be done ... or a distributed bot farm.

How did you guess my password?!?!

This is just the kind of use case I had in mind. Something I've considered is publishing a mini version with only the json.encode_string function, as that's enough to create an array of JSON-encoded strings and use a hard-coded template with printf to insert the JSON string values.

That would be a fraction of the overall json.bash file size.
Basically, going east<->west is nearly impossible at scale, so moving an army is not going to happen if there is any resistance.

And going north<->south is so easy, that anyone doing it could likely cover the whole country pretty quick. So odds are, if there were two countries in that area, there would be just one pretty quickly.

Definitely one of those ‘geography defines the culture and the borders’ situations.
Right but the dots aren't popovers. The dots trigger popovers. You should have one dot per dot and one popover per popover.

1) taking a class or some training is a good idea, since yes you can hurt yourself.

2) it would be exceptionally difficult to hurt or even kill your self this way. More common is something like zinc poisoning (rarely fatal, easily miserable) from welding on galvanized steel, or getting uv or
spatter burns, or shocking yourself (rarely fatal, often amusing!). Some things like tanks need special training. I’ve been welding for decades and have literally never heard of anyone getting chromium poisoning.

3) you’re more likely to accidentally set yourself or something else on fire (I’ve only done it once, keep a spray bottle of water around and you’ll usually be fine)

Personally I figured the article was talking about generated EMF crashing some important computer systems. But it was only talking about tripping fire alarms, which someone stupidly thought didn’t need to be disabled while literally melting metal indoors with a high powered electric arc.

Welding can be dangerous if you have no experience with industrial processes (aka have no idea what dangerous looks like in context), but it’s not a death wish. The only people I’ve heard having real issues were folks doing lots of welding in tight enclosed spaces without proper PPE, or welding on improperly purged fuel tanks.
I think you will need to go for a custom (i.e., one you buy without the mainboard pre-assembled into a complete barebone/system) case to get that. Jonsbo has a few probably interesting options for you, such as the N3[0][1]. I don't know if you could make the DeskMeet mainboards fit in that particular case - but many regular ITX boards for AM4 and AM5 come with ECC support, too.

If you're unlucky enough to experience memory errors in one of the intermediate buffers files go through while being copied from one computer to another an incorrect copy of the file might get written to disk.

When running software RAID, memory errors could also cause data to be replicated erroneously and raise an error the next time it's read. That said if the memory is flaky enough that these errors are common it's highly likely that the operating system will crash very frequently and the user will know something is seriously wrong.

If you want to make sure that files have been copied correctly you can flush all kernel buffers and run diff -r between the source and destination directory to make sure that everything is the same.

It's probably way more likely to experience data loss due to human error or external factors such as a power surge than bad ram. I personally thoroughly test the memory before a computer gets put into service and assume it's okay until something fails or it gets replaced. The only machine I've ever seen that would corrupt random data on a disk was heavily and carelessly overclocked (teenage me cared about getting moar fps in games, and not having a reliable workstation lol)

I think you're misstating it.

Chomsky has always been focused on pragmatic actions within the situation you are in. If that's Spain in the 1920s, he would be a Revolutionary Anarchist.

But most of the time he's speaking, it's not about Spain in the 1920s, so the specifics of actions that are pragmatic are different.

Similar to what you are saying, and I agree with some of what you're saying, but it would be incorrect to define Chomsky based on the tactics he feels are valid in a given situation.
So, lets expand that idea a bit. Why doesn't the government just buy a lot of shares in index funds, kind of like an endowment, and then never collect any taxes? I can see a world where a large portion of private enterprise is held/managed by the government, and the proceeds of that is used to fund public works.

>> The cheeseburger calls to us all.

One my trainers when I was in college told me that when you crave foods, its not your lack of willpower, its actually your body telling you it needs certain nutrients. He told me when you crave chocolate its because your body needs carbs, so if you get some carbs, your chocolate cravings will go away.

I'm guessing the idea you crave a cheeseburger is the same thing, his body was in need of complex carbs and protein?

This is purely anecdotal evidence of this, but in my experience as an endurance athlete (soccer, cycling, adventure racing) its seems to work. When I've craved chocolate, I just eat some toast or chips or drink some Mt. Dew (a lot of people have no idea how many carbs are in soda) and the desire for something chocolatey goes away.

As others have pointed out in the thread, everybody is different, but in my case, this idea seems to be accurate.

Thank you for a very clear, concise statement.

With a clear conscience, I can now say "I am against that". Why?

1. Those dictatorships aren't going to dissolve themselves. You're going to have to use force to do so (I hold out very little hope of legislation against corporations passing, or being declared constitutional if it did pass). You can create an armed revolution that can overthrow corporate interests, but what you get after that doesn't usually look like greater freedom. What it looks like is someone who was after power found a vehicle to get it, and after the dust settles, all the rules and structures that limit how they can exercise power are gone.

2. It's inconsistently in favor of freedom. "Renting yourself to a dictatorship is not freedom"? What if I want to? Should I not have the freedom to do so? (Why would I want that? In terms of my overall well-being, that may look like a net win to me. I may decide that not having to worry about controlling the direction of the business, while limiting my freedom at work, means more mental space to control things I'm more interested in.)

3. It's not very practical. There are people who, bluntly, are not fit to have much of a say in how a business is run. What are you going to do with them?

If you want people to voluntarily organize into employee-owned businesses or co-ops or whatever, I'm fine with that. If you want to advocate that employees should come to such enterprises, I'm fine with that. Argue that they'll get a better (and more fulfilling) deal there? Sure. But telling the rest of us that we can't (or shouldn't) do otherwise? That sounds rather dictatorial of you, frankly. (With you not necessarily meaning AndyNemmity, but whoever advocates the idea.)

>unjustified authority

That is a tautology. Who provides the justification and who gave them that authority. The king? The nobles? The learned? The majority? The masses? The individual?

The problem with power is it is self justifying. If you have power you can justify anything, and if you do not, you exist at the mercy of those that do. One would think the most rational behavior would be to give those power that want it least (such as anarchists), but human psychology shows that significant portions of humanity want hierarchies and will gladly give their power to put a dictator/king into power.

Afaik, that's a matter of the AGESA revision in the firmware and the CPU SKU. In ther real world, I think it actually matters little, since setting software power limits in the OS will be as effective as setting a low-power (35W or 45W) profile in the system firmware in my experience (which is limited to AM4 only so far, however).
DST is in opposite halves of the year in different hemispheres, and also the transition dates will be different in different DST-using countries even in the same hemisphere.

So the timezone difference between US and Australia (or at least their DST using parts, since in both countries some states don’t observe DST) is 2 hours more in one half of the year than the other. And it changes four times. In January, Australia has DST and US doesn’t. Then in March US starts DST and moves one hour away. In April, Australia ends DST and moves another hour away (in the opposite direction). In October, Australia starts DST and moves an hour closer to US. In November, US ends DST and moves another hour closer to Australia.
I've been thinking about the flip side of this, the incomprehensible waking life.

For me, daily life is an unending series of setbacks, negative reinforcement loops and disappointments. I know going into nearly all endeavors that they will end in some kind of failure, but decide to be brave and enter them anyway. I understand that this is the opposite of manifestation, and that I am creating self-fulfilling prophecies. But feel that a neural net would create a model of reality that matches my lived experience of suffering, so there's a basis in fact here. That this is truly all there is unless something changes.

A small example: I decided to go on the Bacon app to see what walk-on gigs are available in my city to raise some quick cash. There are 2: garbage man and warehouse worker.

Now, I knew going in that the odds were grim, and that the gigs would be things that nobody wants to do. Had I gone in with a positive mindset, and imagined fun afternoons helping people set up for events or something, is that what I would have received? I just don't know. I've experienced both, but an overwhelming percentage of the time, the negative outcome matches the prediction of my negative mindset.

Another small example: the other day I helped an acquaintance with handyman work for $100 for an afternoon, but got a traffic ticket on the way home that skimmed away 2/3 of what I had earned.

It was an uncanny reflection of my experience of hustling, similar to movies like The Pursuit of Happyness. Two steps forward and one step back. Another day older and deeper in debt. No win until the end - but the epiphany never comes.

Where i'm going with this is that what we think of as "the real world" is the dream. Or in my case, the nightmare, or at the very least the night terror.

Whereas in our dreams, we can be anything and do anything. Not only that, our subconscious provides rich plot lines far more creative than what our ego comes up with as it co-creates this 3D realm. I often wonder if the point of daily suffering is actually to dream in the spirit world where source consciousness originated.

Except in my case, my dreams are mostly night terrors as well, spilled over from the suffering of my lived experience. I know why, it has to do with sleep apnea, and living a sober life after decades of self-medicating, and finally doing shadow work in middle age. But I just wish that the sun would rise on this long night of the soul, because my basic beliefs in hope for a better tomorrow are growing more tattered with every news cycle and seeing the very worst in humanity expressed in the most powerful and influential people, who are unwittingly bringing about hell on Earth.
> Group formation seems to be natural way humans organize up to a state level.

Not quite. There have been many alternatives to state societies in history, so states are far from the only way to organize even largish society.

That said, state societies have spontaneously arisen at least 6 times and perhaps a dozen times. And the rise of states tends to either motivate neighboring polities to form states in response or pretty inevitably get extinguished by the states. Given the frequency of spontaneous reinvention of states, and the seeming inevitability of their expansion, even if states are not the only way to organize large polities, they do seem to a local if not global maximum.
This points to a demand for nuclear power, which makes statements like these puzzling:

So, why not more nuclear power plants? Most nuclear power plants turn a profit, and they last for a LONG time as compared with traditional power generating plants.

Noam Chomsky - "Anarchism is a tendency that is suspicious and skeptical of domination, authority, and hierarchy. It seeks structures of hierarchy and domination in human life over the whole range, extending from, say, patriarchal families to, say, imperial systems, and it asks whether those systems are justified. It assumes that the burden of proof for anyone in a position of power and authority lies on them. Their authority is not self-justifying. They have to give a reason for it, a justification. And if they can’t justify that authority and power and control, which is the usual case, then the authority ought to be dismantled and replaced by something more free and just. And, as I understand it, anarchy is just that tendency. It takes different forms at different times."

Indentation guides have been a thing in editors for about thirty? years. Geany supports them for example. Turn them on and never mistake a level again.

Good question! Yep, jb exits with non-zero:

json.encode_number(): not all inputs are numbers: 'oops'
json(): Could not encode the value of argument 'size:number=oops' as a 'number' value. Read from inline value.

If you pipe the jb error into jq, jq fails to parse the JSON (because of the Cancel ctrl char) and also errors:

$ jb size:number=oops | jq
json.encode_number(): not all inputs are numbers: 'oops'
json(): Could not encode the value of argument 'size:number=oops' as a 'number' value. Read from inline value.
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 2, column 0

$ declare -p PIPESTATUS
declare -a PIPESTATUS=([0]="1" [1]="4")

So jq exits with status 4 here.
It'll be a combination of:

1. Throughput - say you use usb adapters, in a lot of ways usb is a shared bus so you'll run into max bandwidth quickly. This is especially because data will have to go in and then out, all the way to the cpu

2. Latency - because you're using software to do switching, it'll add time to process each packet and send it back out tne right place. You've also go any other interface latency adding to it

3. Power usage - eacj adapter will have it's own full network phy and hardware, which will increase the power draw. Combined with all the extra processing above and now your power usage is even higher. This means you also loae out on hardware offloading and other performance enhancememts that generally reduce power usage because less of the system is involved in mocing packets around

4. Features (potentially) - this will depend a lot on the hardware you choose, some of those cheap gigabit usb adapters i've tried didn't work with vlans and other features properly. But if you say load up a bunch of nice pcie cards with 1 or more ports thst support everything (never had issues with pcie ones) then you can now actually get a lot of features that are otherwise difficult or impossible on simpler hardware (though at that point you're doing routing more tham switching, but thay flexibility is why you'd potentially do this).

>> Riders are tested a lot and have to provide year-round whereabouts for random testing.

If I remember correctly, these rules were changed after the Armstrong scandal where he would be scheduled for testing, he would say he was at his house in Texas. The testing folks would show up and he just wouldn't answer the door and wait until they left so they couldn't test him. It was one of the ways he was able to dope on a set schedule, all the while being able to maintain he was being tested more than any other athlete - when in reality, he was just avoiding being tested.

It seems like a lot has changed since his scandal and several others that followed and they've really clamped down on what you're saying, changes in blood values and getting suspended if you cannot be reached for testing.
