Day Mission – A NASA Song by Chat GPT
Title: "The Spacefarers' Tale"

(Verse 1)
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,
A tale of a fateful flight,
That started from the Kennedy pad,
On a crisp and starry night.

With Captain Butch and Commander Suni,
Their minds were sharp and bright,
An eight-day mission on Starliner’s wings,
To test the depths of flight.

(Chorus)
The ship took off with hope and pride,
To orbit Earth’s embrace,
But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled,
In the cold of endless space.

Eight days they planned, but now it’s been,
Eight months without a break,
On the ISS, they drift along,
Oh, when will they awake?

(Verse 2)
The Starliner, a brand-new craft,
Was meant to prove its might,
But problems soon began to grow,
In the endless, silent night.

A leaky valve and thrusters failed,
Their journey hit delay,
From June to August, plans were dashed,
As the months just slipped away.

(Chorus)
The ship took off with hope and pride,
To orbit Earth’s embrace,
But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled,
In the cold of endless space.

Eight days they planned, but now it’s been,
Eight months without a break,
On the ISS, they drift along,
Oh, when will they awake?

(Verse 3)
Butch and Suni make the best,
Of crowded, close confines,
With six sleep pods and nine aboard,
They sleep where space aligns.

Suni finds her rest in CASA’s hold,
A module safe and sound,
While Butch camps out in Kibo’s span,
Where quiet’s rarely found.

(Bridge)
They work all day, no time to waste,
With tasks that fill each hour,
From science labs to fixing pumps,
Their days are full of power.

Their clothes were scarce, but help arrived,
In Cygnus' timely flight,
With fresh supplies and fruits aboard,
To ease their endless night.

(Chorus)
The ship took off with hope and pride,
To orbit Earth’s embrace,
But now they're stuck, their journey’s stalled,
In the cold of endless space.

Eight days they planned, but now it’s been,
Eight months without a break,
On the ISS, they drift along,
Oh, when will they awake?

(Outro)
Butch and Suni, legends now,
In NASA’s honored scroll,
Their mission tested to the core,
Their bravery made whole.

The Starliner might not bring them back,
But their story’s not in vain,
For they’ve joined the ranks of space’s best,
In triumph and in strain.
It's not that it's a sin to be fat, it's that there are side effects to taking the short cut, as outlined in the article, which was the point I was trying to make originally.

This only serves to further hamstring any hope of slowing the climate crisis. Instead of climate scientists and experts making sensible small policies in service of general goals laid out by congress (i.e. Clean air act etc), we will have to rely on a purely reactive mess of lobyists and general congressional bullshittery tasked with implementing technical details at a layer of abstraction far from where those institutions are supposed to be spending their attention. This ruling was celebrated by the biggest polluters and environmental criminals in human history for a reason.
Interesting, I don't use always on display and I could see how that would be annoying if I did.
> We will soon see what a huge and harmful deal the recent Chevron ruling is. The Supreme Court needs to be gutted.

You dont seem to understand the role of the judiciary. Even if the removal of Chevron deference has the most destructive effect of any ruling of all time, that in no way suggests the law was interpreted incorrectly which is the actual purpose of the court. Suggesting the court should be gutted because of harmful effects just shows you don’t want a judiciary at all.
Sure, but the USAF is directly under the control of SecDef, who is a member of the Cabinet. The sitting president is a Democrat, which suggests he supports the EPA's position here. He could order the USAF to comply. This seems like something that would not just fly under the radar, so the choice to defy the EPA has to be intentional.

Does OpenSignal have details explaining how they collected this data? Could there be differences in the way these networks manage cellular connections, such as not utilizing 5G when 4G would save battery and/or provide a better signal.

I've noticed my device, an iPhone 13 Pro Max, will stay on LTE until I start downloading or streaming something. Then it will switch to 5g ultra wideband.
Java atomics are actually sequentially consistent. C# relaxes this to acquire/release. Though the general concept of happens-before is still immensely useful for learning atomics as sequential consistency is a superset of acquire/release.

Benevolent giant omnitech space squid manipulate EM radiation incident on the solar system to fool our primitive meat brains and sand computers into thinking we're alone in the universe so we don't go venture our and embarrass our local cluster.

See? There exist infinite theories explaining any set of data points. Parsimony, choosing the simplest theory that explains the facts, is what lets us make progress understanding and predicting the world around us. It's hard to predict space squid.

They do have that functionality[0]. The elephant in the room to me when discussing these things is that people aren't wrong when they won't pay for most "content". The overwhelming majority of it brainless filler-noise that a lot of people probably only look at because they don't know what else to do with their time. If actually pressed to come up with how much they'd pay for it, they correctly come up with $0 as the answer. Unfortunately, they don't then figure that it's not worth their attention either.

I saw this was based on Firefox, which is interesting, and downloaded the AppImage to at least look at it. Initial questions:

- Why does this launch full screen initially?

- Why doesn't the light or dark theme selection include an option to follow the system settings? (Or does it and it's just not obvious?)

- Why is the search engine list on first run a weird (and kind of stupid) list of Google, DuckDuckGo, eBay (excuse me?), and Wikipedia? Seriously if you're telling me about this as a privacy focused browser (and your privacy policy seems relatively clear there) why is Google first on the list. Or on the list at all? And why two items that aren't even general purpose search engines?

The web page isn't clear so what is are the goals of this that would differentiate from upstream Firefox? Vertical tabs? I don't even want them. A sidebar? Same story.
That is not what the decision overturning Chevron says. The requirement is not that Congress now has to write regulation about specific chemicals or specific details of every area. It's that ambiguities in the authority granted by Congress to regulatory agencies are resolved by the courts - not by the agencies themselves.

Nothing stops Congress from writing a law which unambiguously grants an agency broad authority to regulate (for instance) chemicals and pollutants.

>I could voluntarily commit X additional dollars per month to be directly distributed to the creators I watch according to their share of my total watchtime, with some kind of manual opt-out button for individual videos/creators that I explicitly do not want to support.

They halfway do this. The numbers are opaque but part of your premium is given to creators you watch, and that cut is based on your watch time, among other factors.

ofc I dobut we'd ever get that granular a control on CC's. As said in another reply, memberships are sort of that solution.
People see congress as being so broken that anything that asks congress to act is seen as a bad thing, is the problem.
I wrote this in a review I believe, but this is one of the most comprehensive introductions to a good 80% of what could be considered a high performance computing education. It's extremely well written, in the weeds, but not lost in them. If you've done heavy atomics and or locks in C or C++ or with Fortran libraries, this will help show you how rust prevents so many footguns at compile time.

I guess the parent is talking about Google X, and perhaps the self driving car stuff. Not sure, I don’t think Google is particularly good at innovation, as most of their successes other than search came through acquisitions (YouTube, Google Maps).

They’re definitely not at the forefront of AI anymore, which honestly is super surprising given the reputation that had.
There was also a settlement, although civil litigation continues.

> A former reporter for a weekly Kansas newspaper has agreed to accept $235,000 to settle part of her federal lawsuit over a police raid on the paper that made a small community the focus of a national debate over press freedoms.

> The settlement removed the former police chief in Marion from the lawsuit filed by former Marion County Record reporter Deb Gruver, but it doesn't apply to two other officials she sued over the raid: the Marion County sheriff and the county's prosecutor. Gruver's lawsuit is among five federal lawsuits filed over the raid against the city, the county and eight current or former elected officials or law enforcement officers.

> Gruver's attorney did not immediately respond to emails Friday seeking comment. An attorney for the city, its insurance company, the former chief and others declined to comment but released a copy of the June 25 settlement agreement after the Record filed an open records request. He also provided a copy to The Associated Press.

Wow! You have totally done your homework. Totally. Yes, Aquion went out of business, and Salgenx is not on the market yet.
Back in the 1980s, long distance couples sometimes wound up paying more in long distance phone calls than rent, and 30 miles away counted as long distance. No one could attach anything to the precious network, so acoustic coupler modems had to be used, resulting in very low bandwidth. Yes, a lot of good stuff came out of Bell Labs, funded by the huge amount of monopoly money that came into the company, but that needed to end.

I'll leave this comment here since I'm about to get rate limited: I read/heard a great idea recently, what if gravity is an emergent quantity like heat? Maybe dense fermions just radiate gravitons just like a hot mass radiates photons?

Seasonal energy storage is the last thing that needs to be addressed in the storage hierarchy. There are very high-value targets starting on very low time frames.
There was a supreme court case in Sweden very recently that covered PFAS pollution from the air force, with a ruling that defined how the chain of responsibility look like. The local civilians living in the area sued the local government operated water treatment plant. The local government in turned blamed the military, and the military refused to take responsibility. The court decided that regardless of what the military decide, local government are responsible to their citizen in terms of providing pollution free water. Local government can try to sue the military, but it does not change the ultimate responsibility they got to their citizens.

The government has a responsibility to protect the public from pollution. If the cost come from the military budget, national government budget or local government budget is something the different departments can fight over, but the outcome is still the same.
Any thoughts on the best way to express global locks in Rust?

A classic example is a set of bank accounts, atomically transacting with each other. Fine-grained per-account locking is possible, but risks deadlock due to lock ordering inversion. A simple solution is to replace per-account locks with a singleton global lock, covering all accounts. Any transaction must first acquire this lock, and now deadlock is impossible.

But this is an awkward fit for Rust, whose locks want to own the data they protect. What's the best way to express a global lock, enforcing that certain data may only be accessed while the global lock is held?
Nothing wrong with making paid software! There's definitely a market for it and I wish you well.

Why not? Seems perfectly normal to just talk about it.

I learn things all the time by wondering if somebody else is right. Much better than just thinking everything is simply the way I think it is now.

Even if you know somebody is wrong, talking about it is absolutely harmless.
Surprised that I haven’t seen anyone recommend or even mention implantable lens technology, for long-term vision correction (maybe I missed the mention). AFAIK, it’s reversible, and safer than laser surgery (LASIK, PRK, etc.)—-nota bene: I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice.

Anecdotal, but I got lenses implanted in both eyes recently, after living with astigmatism, nearsightedness, and Rx glasses for many years. Very happy with the outcome—-now I can drive without any glasses at all! Well, I do wear sunglasses in the summer, as one does; but now I can wear whatever sunglasses strike my fancy—I’m no longer limited to using those annoying clip-on sunglasses, over my (former) Rx glasses.

I could have chosen a ‘progressive’ Rx for my implanted lenses. However, the surgeon would not provide, for my eyes, high assurance that I’d have crisp vision at both nearby and far distances. So, I chose to get implants that would let me drive legally without glasses; and also do most activities without glasses. For reading and computer use, I can use either: cheap ‘drugstore’ magnifying glasses, or Rx glasses for the same purposes. But definitely research those tradeoffs, and discuss with your doctor.

Wish I’d done it sooner!

"But that's not what happened. Instead of the batteries becoming the next great American success story, the warehouse is now shuttered and empty. All the employees who worked there were laid off. And more than 5,200 miles away, a Chinese company is hard at work making the batteries in Dalian, China.

The Chinese company didn't steal this technology. It was given to them — by the U.S. Department of Energy. First in 2017, as part of a sublicense, and later, in 2021, as part of a license transfer."

A few years ago, an 8 port Cisco 2960 that was under my management went offline. This switch was in a plastic NEMA box mounted on the outside of a ski lift. When I went to imvestigate, I found that a small glacier had formed over the NEMA box, and had ripped the door off the box. When I got there, the box was full of ice, which was in the process of melting. The switch was still running, but the ice had ripped the trunk patch cable out - apparently the root cause of the switch going down. I unplugged it and extracted it from the ice, and dumped a not-insignificant quantity of water out from inside the switch. I let it dry out for a couple days, got a new cover for the NEMA box (which I screwed shut this time in addition to the little flip latch) and it's been running fine ever since. Who'da thunk?

In the army I knew a guy who did something so dumb a new regulation was added to the army regulations around UCMJ or what could be prosecuted. I have long forgotten the number unfortunately. But the point is that no statute or regulation can ever specify every eventuality and it’s folly to think it can be done.

Edit the case was a soldier (the guy) had orders to attend a school, went awol enroute. He was not reported awol, the destination nor origin commands knew what happened. He got a guilty conscience and came back to originating command. The reg was about who was required to report the awol. Since the awol was never reported he couldn’t be prosecuted.
> worse than native advertising

While I agree with the sentiment, this point I highly disagree with. At least sponsor segments are (at their face) transparent. I'm sad that there's many disingenuous products and misinformation in these segments, but at least you know it is an ad. On the other hand, native advertising has all those same bad things but additionally tries to deceive you into believing it isn't an ad.

Analogously, I'd be upset if someone handed me a glass of piss when I asked for something to drink. But at least I can recognize it and turn it down. On the other hand, if you hand me a glass of piss and actively take efforts to make it look, taste, and appear like water, al while telling me it is water, sure, I probably won't be upset because I don't know. But dear god... if I find out... Well, I don't think there are many reasons that someone should be punched in the face, but that doesn't mean there are zero reasons to...

Deception is so much worse.

Btw: check out ReVanced[0]. You can rebuild the YouTube APK (and others) to integrate adblock and sponsor block. All optional too! Unlike pihole, it'll actually achieve that.

If I’m understanding correctly can’t you lock on some other account criteria, like IDs? A Mutex does have to own the data but you can still decide what it owns.

When you lock, the returned MutexGuard is owned, so you can pass it around or return it and it’s only dropped when it ultimately goes out of scope.

The sphere of water would have a surface gravity of 0.016 g, 1.6% of Earth's gravity, 1/10th of the Moon's gravity. So yes, it would gravitate into a ball shape, aside from slowly boiling off if it's inside the orbit of Mars (our 32°F Goldilocks Zone) or freezing if it's farther out.
