It seems to me that google should not allow a site to serve different content to their bot than they serve to their users. If the content is unavailable to me, it should not be in the search results.

It obviously doesn't seem that way to Google, or to the sites providing the content.

They are doing what works for them without ethical constraints (Google definitely, many content providers, eg NYT). Is it fair game to do what works for you (eg. 13ft)?!
I manage a dev environment for a small, inexperienced (but eager) team and I have a similar setup. I’ll do a write up at some point if I have time. It can work, and does for me, but there are some funny consequences can end up mediate the relationship between a developer’s computer and his code, which is a terrible place to be.
> One thing we believe, however, is that the reanalysis step in weather forecasting is unnecessary in the long term, and that future (ML) weather models will eventually opt to generate predictions based on un-assimilated raw data and will get better results in doing so.

The idea that we'll be able to run ML weather models using "raw" observations and skip or implicitly incorporate an assimilation is spot-on - there's been an enormous shift in the AI-weather community over the past year to acknowledge that this is coming, and very soon.

But... in your launch announcement you seem to imply that you're already using your data for building and running these types of models. Can you clarify how you're actually going to be using your data over the next 12-24 months while this next-generation AI approach matures? Are you just doing traditional assimilation with NWP?

Also, to the point about reanalysis - that's almost certainly not correct. There are massive avenues of scientific research which rely on a fully-assimilated and reconciled, corrected, consistent analysis of atmospheric conditions. AI models in the form of foundation models or embeddings might provide new pathways to build reanalysis products, but they are a vital and critical tool and will likely be so for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, I just pacman-installed mpv and tried running it on a 4k video. My CPU fan immediately kicked on, and top showed multiple cores getting involved.

I'm in the same situation. The upgrade price for Sublime Text and Sublime Merge is $152 whereas the full license is $168. As you say, it feels more like a subscription model. I'd renew if the discount was bigger. I can of course continue to use the versions released while my license was valid, but it would be nice to get bug fixes and new feature while still supporting the developers.
It lacks the VultModulesFree from VCV...
It would be great if it was possible to develop a plugin for an engine to load spine in a game and let the decision of the license to the game developer (and not the engine developer). Right now you either are blessed that the spine devs decided to care for your engine or you aren't. It would be nice if a FOSS engine dev could develop a Spine plugin and then a game dev that was thinking about that engine could either opt to use it or not.
Some HP server UEFIs also support boot from http. So you can boot the .efi executable directly from the internet.
For https you need to enroll the certificate first and it's a bit more involved.

I am sure there are other implementations I have only seen it on HP servers so far.

I'm admittedly skeptical. The AI generated novels I've seen have been bad. Really really bad. It's been a few months, however, so maybe the landscape has evolved faster than I expected.

> Witnesses say the boat's mast snapped in half and later became unbalanced

I notice on Wikipedia that Perini Navi built (at least) 10 of these yachts. 9 of them listed on Wikipedia are ketch rigged, 1 sloop rigged.

A ketch has two masts with the "front" one taller than the "rear" one. This type of setup spreads the total sail area over two main sails and the location of the masts gives the boat good balance in heavy wind.

A sloop uses a single mast, with a single main sail that must cover the same (or similar) sail area as the total sail area of the two main sails on the ketch. The mast is much taller than either of the ketch masts, and it should be located in a different spot than either of the ketch masts would be.

...the sloop-rigged one sank.

My kids did not paid a cent nor did most of their friends. There are some paid a little, no more then the relatively normal amount of money. If someone 8 years old is paying a lot of money for Roblox while his friends prefer roblox because it is free, then the issue is provably solvable.

Beyond limiting infinite amount of paying by not giving the kid infinite amount of money, you can limit their time in the app or on tablet by rules like "max X hours per week".

Here's the critical point:

> In the Netherlands alone, these solar panels generate a power output equivalent to at least 25 medium sized nuclear power plants.

> Because everything runs through the manufacturer, they are able to turn all panels on and off. Or install software on the inverters so that the wrong current flows into the grid. Now, a manufacturer won’t do this intentionally, but it is easy enough to mess this up.

> As an interim step, we might need to demand that control panels stick to providing pretty graphs, and make it impossible to remotely switch panels/loaders/batteries on or off.

Basically, if a hacker were to make all batteries (or panels) suddenly switch between full discharge and full charge every second or so, it would tear down the electric grid. Voltage and frequency would swing rapidly, and whatever plants are riding load would struggle.

This could create a massive power outage; but there is a huge risk that this could damage power plants and other infrastructure.
They’re just forcing me to stop paying them altogether.

> To me, it just means "keep all the code in one repo, instead of trying to split things up into different repos."

To me, and perhaps more from a Devops-like perspective, mono repo means "one repo many diverse deployment environments and artifacts often across multiple programming languages".

Im advocating against the Google/Stripe situation of a singular massive repo with complex build tools to make it function - like Bazel. I think sometimes small organizations get lured by ego and bad cost/benefit analysis into implementing such an architecture and it can tank entire product orgs in my experience (obviously not for Stripe, Google, etc.).

In my current role (high-assurance deterministic code for self-driving cars, one of the top-tier players, a company who claims to be "safety obsessed"), we have close to zero documentation. Every team or department has their own standards for documentation. Documentation is always back-written after coding is complete. Requirements are written after code is complete. For the past year, I've been given tons of praise at department meetings, "look at so and so, they've written so much really good documentation, their docs are the standard everyone else needs to follow", and then when it comes time for promotions my managers tell me "well, you haven't shipped as much code as other people on the team .... absolutely you've done a terrific job with documentation and we totally recognize you caught a ton of problems before they became problems, but promotions are really based on 'results', and 'results' means how much code you wrote ....". So I'm job hunting.

Websters even considers books as tools as they relate to scholars. By the definition, they are tools. In the context of hunting (and policing, and self defense), they absolutely offer utility.

I don't know what you meant to imply or not. But colloquially, when those statements are made they usually imply a negative view of it. I would bet that more than a few readers would have read it with that in mind. What is evident based on your prior comment and this one is that you do not consider utility to include killing.
100%. And sometimes that form of payment is putting up with ads, etc. I routinely back out of sites that suddenly take over the screen with a popup or take up large chunks with video or animations.

> It seems like the only solution that would work at a large enough scale to handle that kind of demand

It doesn’t work. These automated systems are flagging a (presumably) benign site and an article yesterday regarding their $5M lawsuit for running a scam ad on their SERP for “Coinbase support” suggest the automated systems can be bypassed too.

I’m not saying automated detection can’t be a part of it, but we shouldn’t accept companies automating away decision making as if computer-derived errors are acceptable.

The larger point is that Google isn’t exactly strapped for cash. They could hire an army of reviewers. They just don’t.

If you find a case where a murderer was uncovered during a lawful search and that evidence was thrown out due to it being off topic, please let me know.

I don't doubt that that many watts is easy to cover - eventually. The problem is that it can be instantly turned on and off, whereas the grid takes time to shed load or add capacity.

I found a figure on Wikipedia saying that the NL's 4.7GW worth of offshore wind capacity is 16% of their total electricity demand nationwide. 4.7/.16 = 30GW total, so this theorized computer load attack would represent about 10% of their grid's total capacity. Can their grid add and shed that much load that quickly? That's the part I doubt.
The theory-practice gap is so wide as to make the theoretical maxima essentially fantasy with body cameras that are proprietary and owned and operated by the same police departments they are supposed to be an accountability mechanism for

This is more similar to iVentoy, which implements PXE boot, but is closed source. netboot.xyz, on the other hand, requires boot images to be extracted and served in an iPXE-friendly format, which their CI/CD system does automatically. These solutions are good for facilitating OS installations across a fleet of computers on a network.

But for system rescue purposes, Ventoy still wins. You bring your own boot images, which could be arbitrary ISOs, and don't have to worry about networking availability.

This is an awesome writeup of the tools and culture issues you run into maintaining dev environments.

From post, the problems that justified central dev boxes are roughly:
1. dependency / config mgmt / env drift on laptops
2. collaboration / debugging between engineers
3. compute scaling + optimization
4. supporting devs with updates and infra changes

The last one is particularly interesting to me, because supporting the dev env is separate engineering role/task that starts small and grows into teams of engineers supporting the environment.

I'm helping build Flox.
We're working on these pain points by making environments (deps, vars, services, and builds) workable across all kinds of Mac/Linux laptops and servers.
1) a. Virtualize the pkg manager per-project
b. Nix packages can install across OS/arch pretty well
2) Imperative actions like `flox install`/`upgrade` always edit a declarative env manifest.toml -- share it via git
3) less Docker VM's -- get more out of devteam Macbooks
4) reduce toil with a versioned, shareable envs
--> less sending ad-hoc config and brew commands to people (as mentioned in the post.)
Just `git pull && flox activate`.

I think on problem point #2, collab tools are advancing to where, pairing on features, bugs, and env issues can be done without central SSH. (ex: tmate, vscode liveshare, screensharing, etc) -- however, that does sort of fall apart on laptops for async debugging of env issues (ex: when devprod is in the US, and eng is in London).
Having universal telemetry on ephemeral cloud dev-boxes with a registry and all of the other DNS and SSH goodies could be the kind of infra to aspire to as your small teams run into more big-team problems.

In the Stripe anecdote, adopting the centralized infra created new challenges that their devprod teams were dedicated to supporting:
- international latency from central, US-based VM's
- syncing code to the dev boxes (https://facebook.github.io/watchman/)
- linting, formatting, generating configs (run it locally or serverside?)
- a dev workflow CLI tool dedicated to dev-box workflows and sync'ing with watchman's clock
- IaaS, registry, config, glue for all the servers

This is all very non-trivial work, but maybe there's a future where people can win some portability with Flox when they are small and grow into those new challenges when it's truly needed -- now their laptop environments just get a quick `flox activate` on some new, shiny servers or Cloud IDE's.

I really like the notes from the author on how useing Language Server Protocol across a high latency link has great optimizations that work along side the watchman sync for real-time code editing.

I am using a chrome extension that modifies headers[1]. It modifies headers for reddit images.

I have these rules defined inside

url:https://preview.redd.it/, domain:true, sub:true, header:Accept, add:true, modify:false, remove:false, header_value:image/*
url:https://i.redd.it/, domain:true, sub:true, header:Accept, add:true, modify:false, remove:false, header_value:image/*

With these defined, an image just opens like an image, without any reddit wrapped around it.

NASA certainly is deeply entwined with SpaceX, but that relationship predates the Biden/Elon animosity.

Biden has the authority to say that he’s not going to give Elon this gloating opportunity ahead of the election.

Biden also has the authority to make SpaceX catch a seal, strap it to a board, and make it listen to rocket noise through headphones to see if it becomes distressed.
