Quick note on the CRS312: while absolutely lovely as a switch, you have to be careful about what exactly you want to do with it, as, as with the entire Mikrotik range, it can do absolutely everything (provided you can wrap your head around the configuration), but isn't necessarily good at it.

In the case of the CRS312, its potato-class CPU means that even NAT at 10Gb/s can be challenging. However, if you pair it with something like a CCR1036 (discontinued, but still available and sporting a 36-core CPU) or its successor, the CCR2004 (or even something like the RB5009UPr, which adds PoE, but is limited to 2.5Gb/s) you'll be all set.

"Terror" is used frequently to mean fear of something that may happen in the future, as opposed to "horror", which is used to refer to a sensation caused by something bad that has already happened.

If these restricted meanings are used, then the 13th century would be horrifying, not terrifying, when remembering it now, and it could be argued that the present is more terrifying than many moments in the past, because at those moments, even if people were afraid of something bad happening, they did not expect anything that could bring a global destruction from which nobody could escape.

Nevertheless, even if there are many reasons that make the present much more terrifying than 10 years ago, from climate change to more and more monopolistic economies to non-negligible risk of nuclear war, most people were much more terrified during the fifties and early sixties of the 20th century, when the risk of nuclear war seemed much higher and the memories of the horrors of WWII were still strong.
Your understanding of stuxnet is flawed, Iran was attacked by the Us Gov in a very very specific spearfish attack with years of preparation to get Stux into the enrichment facilities - nothing to do with lifts connected to the network.

Also the facility was air-gapped, so it wasn't connected to ANY outside network. They had to use other means to get Stux on those computers and then used something like 7 zero days to move from windows into Siemens computers to inflict damage.

Stux got out potentially because someone brought their laptop to work, the malware got into said laptop and moved outside the airgap from a different network.
Horrible pic. That's all?
For me that was a pretty normal trip, 10th one (2nd one in this year) planned like this.

About 6 hours a day of driving, total visited about 45 out of 52 planned points. For example I don't understand people who go to a beach and spend half a day there, I go, swim for 30 minutes, and I'm out. Same for any other attraction. How long should I spend on a beautiful viewpoint in Greek mountains? For me it's a stop, take photo, admire for 3 minutes, and be on my way. I avoid museums, except transport/communication/computer museums, as they are pretty boring.

I will do exceptions for stuff like Louvre, but sometimes I will just say no to even biggest attractions, like I did earlier this year looking at Stonehenge, +30 minutes of walking and I think +1 hour of driving from my route just to see bunch of rocks - yeah, not for me.

I will go back though, if I found the country particularly nice/pleasing, like I've been to Sweden/Norway/Finland on 2-week road trips two times in summer and two times in winter, and planning another winter one - there is just something about sleeping in car in -15°C (5F) that's just amazing.

> you log into the machine, download files, load files onto the program. that doesn't need a desktop environment?

Believe it or not, it doesn't! An embedded device with a form of flash storage and an internet connection to a (hopefully) LAN-only server can do the same thing.

> you want to reimplement half of one, poorly

Who says I would do it poorly? ;)

> and a worse customer experience?

Why would a purpose-built system be a worse customer experience than _windows_? Are you really going to set the bar that low?
I think that could cause a huge shift away from contributing to or being the maintainer of open source software. It would be too risky if those standards were applied and they couldn't use the standard "as is, no warranties" disclaimers.
Okay, so having gone down this path I can tell you it is impossible. To reduce the output of the sun by 2% at L1 would require 20 MM tons of metal. In order to launch that much tonnage we would have needed to start launching mass 500 years ago. And that assumes no loss of material over time, which would mean even more launches.

It is not feasible.
Neither I believe that consciousness emerges from biology or other things. I believe it is the other way around: it is from consciousness that emerges everything.

Sadly, we somehow confuse consciousness with the identity or individuality (ego). I believe the ego is just one modality (or subset) of consciousness.
S3 exposes effectively all the metadata that POSIX APIs do, in addition to all the custom metadata headers you can add.

Implementing a filesystem versus an object store involves severe tradeoffs in scalability and complexity that are rarely worth it for users that just want a giant bucket to dump things in.

The API doesn't matter that much, but everything already supports S3, so why not save time on client libraries and implement it? It's not like some alternative PUT/GET/DELETE API will be much simpler-- though naturally LIST could be implemented myriad ways.
Yeah, I re-read my comment and it sounds like I am understanding of them.

But no, saying "channel files aren't kernel code" is just hilarious, considering the channel files define how the actual kernel code is supposed to behave, so it might as well be kernel code. Especially when the bad behavior in question is triggered by bad channel files!!
Sure but the output of an LLM is _never_ original.

Human output signal might be wildly different from person to person if judged on originality. But LLM output is then pure noise. The internet wad already a noisy place but humans are “rate limited” to a degree an LLM is not.

Why wouldn't they just change the backend and leave the service alive for the end users? It seems nuts to give up all that sweet sweet browsing data.
> How long will it be, before humans reading mostly LLM output, adopt that same writing style? Certainly, for people growing up today, they will be affected.

Just imagine 180M users of chatGPT having an estimated 1B sessions per month. The model is putting 1-2Trillion tokens into people's brains. People don't assimilate just the writing style and ideas, but also take actions into the real world influenced by the model. Sometimes they create useful discoveries or inventions that end up on the internet and in the next scrape. Full cycle.
Can someone aim me at some RTFM that describes the sensor release and patching process, please? I'm lost trying to understand: When a new version 'n' of the sensor is released, we upgrade a selected batch of machines and do some tests (mostly waiting around :-)) to see that all is well. Then we upgrade the rest of the fleet by OU. However, 'cause we're scaredy cats, we leave some critical kit on n-1 for longer. And some really critical kit even on n-2. (Yeah, there's a risk in not applying patches I know but there are other outage-related risks that we balance; forget that for now) Our assumption is that n-1, n-2, etc are old, stable releases, and so when fan and shit collided yesterday, we just hopped on the console and did a policy update to revert to n-2 and assumed we'd dodged the bullet. But of course, that failed... you know what they say about assumptions :-) So in a long-winded way that leads to my three questions: Why did the 'content update' take out not just n but n-whatever sensors equally as effectively? Are the n-whatever versions not actually stable? And if the n-whatever versions are not actually stable and are being patched, what's the point of the versioning? Cheers!
Many years ago, there was an industrial group (?, maybe just a campaign.. can't remember the details) promised to provide protection/transfer service if one of their member shutdown.

After some initial trial and error, I've came up with a pretty good custom instruction that has been working well for over a year (for both ChatGPT and Claude):

Instructions for the output format:
- Output code without descriptions, unless it is important.
- Minimize prose, comments and empty lines.
- Only show the relevant code that needs to be modified. Use comments to represent the parts that are not modified.
- Make it easy to copy and paste.
- Consider other possibilities to achieve the result, do not be limited by the prompt.

It is worth noting that ChatGPT will use the same custom instruction for all chats, even if it is not related.

Sometimes it will mess up other conversations. Even if the conversation is not coding related, ChatGPT will still respond with code.

So I built a dedicated tool to help me solve this problem and streamline the ChatGPT coding workflow: https://prompt.16x.engineer/
I think Grey Rhino is the term to use. Risks that we can see and acknowledge yet do nothing about.
I think this is good to point out, but I feel like you left out the reason why this is so. Mikrotik allows installing of both SwitchOS and RouterOS. The CRS is a switch. That means it can do vlan-aware switching between all its ports, and it’s a managed switch. It has ASICs that can do line rate switching of 10gbe on all ports simultaneously. You can use it as a router (NAT is something a router would typically be responsible for) but that will be super slow because it’s not using the switch hardware. The CCR2004 is a totally different type of product. It’s a router, not a switch. It can do NAT faster because it has a faster CPU, but it also can’t switch at line rate across all its ports simultaneously because it doesn’t have the ASIC switching hardware. Mikrotik is good about providing both the switching and routing performance metrics, but it’s kind of unclear unless you know what you’re looking for.
Given how relatively easy it is to run a redirect service, and how many links this will break this is vandalism.
Exactly, they're not asking how the playdate works with an eInk screen (because it doesn't have one). They're asking how colesantiago expects to use a game console with a 5hz screen.

The authors explain the coding error and coredump well, but I'm lost: Is the buggy code that they're describing the channel file, or some kernel code that consumes the channel file? Is there a way to tell?

I'm a bit shocked that Google is so full of them. That said the FP link seems weak, in theory (sic) functional programming will make you think about domains beforehand so the debugging game changes. But if it's mild FP over brittle ecmascript 5 libs... then it's another story.
It still feels like a democratic oversight. The most favorable interpretation is a failure of policy.

It is simply not acceptable to leave any part of your population without municipality level representation. Delegating this to a community council is not democratic and is extremely ripe for misuse. If a community wishes to remain unincorporated you have to look at why that is, and offer accommodations or change the incorporation strategy accordingly.

For example both Skyway and White Center (unincorporated King County, WA) voters have refuse to be incorporated with Renton and Burien respectively, but it was the Seattle city council (not voters) that rejected incorporating White Center, and voters have never been asked if they want their own independence. At the same time Vashon hasn’t even been asked.

If America was serious about democracy they would establish a policy in which every populated area outside of reservations will have local level representation in like 30 years (ideally they should have started that policy 30 years ago). And if there is no agreement on how a single community (say White Center) hasn’t incorporated by that time, have a plurality wins—or better yet, ranked choice—vote on e.g. 3 options, Seattle, Burien, or independent.
They were fantastic books!

Check out the Tyrant Philosophers by Adrian Tchaikovsky - a brilliant absurdist fantasy series (2/3 published so far).

First one is tough going for a while, then quite fun. Second one is brilliant in my opinion!
It's really interesting how he constructs a self-consistent narrative with half true and half false premises.

For example, he totally whiffs on the geology due to bad starting premises. At this time, the Earth was believed to be relatively young (on the order of millions of years) because simple calculations would show that even a very high initial temperature would have cooled to at most the surface temperature within that time. What they missed was the internal heat budget of the planet, which we now know is driven by radioactivity (which, in 1907, had just been discovered - the Curies had shared a Nobel for it in 1903).

Wallace was right that this is a very small contributor to Earth's surface temperature, but the false assumption that the planet had dramatically cooled was behind the idea that continental shapes and faulting were due to the movement of a cooling and thus contracting planet. Plate tectonics was a few years away from even being proposed as a serious theory at this point, and it wouldn't gain much traction for another fifty years after that. But it turns out that tectonics is responsible for a lot of the geographic differences between the three bodies under discussion here. Earth has plate tectonics today, Mars probably did early in its history but does not today, and the Moon never did.

Yet despite being totally wrong about this, Wallace is correct (as best we currently understand it) that the Martian valleys are indeed fault lines. He comes around to it from a totally wrong direction: that Mars, being smaller than the Earth, began with less heat, and that its interior solidified first, causing its surface to contract onto that rigid surface and crack in a way Earth's did not.

There's a lesson here in the ability to form consistent, empirical, wrong theories given even slightly wrong inputs.
I think it’s an Adamsesque joke: you’ve made me a confident man, and yet I cannot get the nerve up to express myself in exactly that way.
Same.
Strangely, switching to Desktop site mode doesn't fix it.
I'd go further and say automated average speed cameras are the most effective I've seen. Point speed cameras just get marked on a map and cause sudden braking and acceleration to dodge them - this can be effective at particular danger spots, but I always feel the average speed cameras in the UK are far more effective at changing driver habits in general.

Well, I think giant habitats at L4/L5, made from metal and glass shipped from the lunar surface or the asteroids (as envisioned by O’Neill), might be a better use of that capacity than cities on Mars, but whatever, as long as we get out there.

> Frequent updates, in the old days, meant that a vendor had poor QA. I think that's probably still the case most of the time today, too.

Back in the 80s and 90s if you had bad QA you'd ship very buggy software and customers hated you because they had to live with it for months and months until the company managed to do another release. And then it was costly to ship off those floppies to every customer. So there was a very real price to pay, in money and reputation.

Then it became possible to do updates online. Initially it was a nice way to deliver an emergency fix if necessary, but you mostly continued to do nice QA'd releases every now and then.

But as with everything, when something becomes too easy it gets abused. So companies realized why do much QA (or any QA in extreme cases). Just push updates all the time and hope for the best, if customers (who are now QA) scream, push another update tomorrow. Break quick, fix quick.

It's mostly unsatisfactory if one values stable quality software.

Per capita is a proxy for discussing how much emissions they need. If you're not considering anyone's need, then you're basically telling them to go kill themselves and they'll likewise completely ignore anything you have to say. If we ignore China's/India's needs and what they actually can do while talking about what they should do, then the whole discussion is a waste of time.
It's because you need to mess with embeddings or even train new heads on top of a network to use it. LLMs just use tokens-in tokens-out, they don't classify with softmax over classes, they softmax over vocabulary tokens. LLMs are more convenient
China has emitted much less in absolute since the industrial revolution, less per capita today, they're poor, they're rapidly building out renewables faster than anyone, they're powering the world's transition to renewables with the cheapest solar panels and batteries, they're expected to hit their coal peak in the next two years, Xi has made it a publicly stated policy priority recently to decarbonise their economy, and they're the world's manufacturer which means their economy has to play on hard mode relative to a service economy like the US.

It's wrong to point the finger at them as some kind of uniquely bad actor. Yes they have to decarbonise, but so does everyone at at the same time, and this bad faith argument keeps being resurrected as an excuse to do nothing at home.
> A city where I have never seen fewer than 10 people on a bus

Presumably during rush hour, which is kind of the issue. You can get more people on the bus during peak hours, but then it's off-peak and you're in a place where you don't have a car. Now you're either waiting an hour for a bus so it can be full (which is slower than a car) or you're maintaining frequent service by running mostly-empty buses (which is less efficient than a car).

Vancouver is also a coastal city the size of Boston with a fairly high population density. Things will work there that won't work in smaller inland cities surrounded by suburban and rural areas.

> where driving is frequently slower than transit

But because driving there is slower than it is in most US cities, right? That's not really an attractive way to get the result. The goal is to make the new thing better, not to make the existing thing worse.

> All of this works fine in places where they have been enacting all the things that you are saying don’t work. Most people just can’t imagine it working until they see it.

The real problem is that people propose these things in places where they don't work. If you have an urban city with dense urban housing, obviously people will be able to use mass transit. But you can't just add a bus lane to a city where most of the population commutes in from the suburbs and expect it to have the same effect. Everyone still has to drive and all you've done is remove a travel lane and make the traffic worse.
These features drive me nuts because they prevent me, the computer owner/admin, from disabling. One person thought up techniques like "let's make a scheduled task that sledgehammers out the knobs these 'dumb' users keep turning' and then everyone else decided to copycat that awful practice.
