It can be luck, but with 24 drives, it feels very lucky. Somebody with proper statistics knowledge can probably calculate the risk with a guestimated 1% yearly failure rate how likely it would be to have all 24 drives remaining.

And remember, my previous NAS with 20 drives also didn't have any failures. So N=44, how lucky must I be?

It's for residential usage, and if I need some data, I often just copy it over 10Gbit to a system that uses much less power and this NAS is then turned off again.

There is no ‘they’ here. The voices in your head - as radically different as they may seem from the voice you identify with as you - are still you.
Which is why everyone who has received a large bounty payout from Google or Apple has worked for a government-sized entity.
> Well, from my perspective, I've never worked at a place that's used polysemy of freer-effects.

I have with another deprecated effect library. Its a bummer to have something so core to the architecture that is deprecated but then to not have the time or buy-in to do anything about it.
Ya but if you're really honest with yourself, did you learn what you needed to "drive decision making across the org" in Uni? You may have I guess, but it seems like you really only get that confidence or those skills after you start doing whatever it is that you do. It's hard to imagine how anything I learned or could have learned in Uni, would have at all helped enough with any of even the least complex tasks once getting started professionally, that I didn't learn in technical college or on my own prior. That said, I wasn't a FAANG go-getter trying for a spot that required complexity analysis or whatever, or a game developer with a necessary background in maths and memory. I feel like the stuff you learn in Uni that's valuable, becomes encountered in only some special cases, and even then there's probably better environments for actually learning it rather than just figuring out how to test well on the material.

I personally found the humanities and hard sciences a bit more compelling compared to any CS courses; viewing the CS testing and teaching methodology through the lens of having already been in industry, it pained me more than it might have otherwise had I been a naive impressionable student with no professional perspective. Sitting there writing out an ADT in Java with a pencil in a not large enough physical space, thinking "why did I decide to do this crap again?", but also not being able to respond to the artificial pressure of the classroom with a fabricated stress response.
It is possible to write bad code in any language. Haskell tries really hard to eliminate a whole class of problems but the type system doesn’t encompass/express things like thrown exceptions. This seems like a hole in the type system… and yes there are always better ways of doing things but many libraries are written to standards beneath those best practices or written to much older best practices.

The issue isn’t what the language is capable of in the best case. The issue is what the community has produced for future members of the community to consume. See my other comment about pcap and gnuplot for two specific examples.
Stiction was definitely a thing back in that general period when you'd sometimes knock a drive to get it back to working again.
Lots of cynics here can’t separate the baby from the bathwater. You may need to get off your device and try driving one. Moreover, it’s an EV and i know reducing carbon emissions is a value that’s widely held here. It might be that you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
It just feels folks here want to align the people with the things with the beliefs and then let the negative opinion span across all of it as if it were one thing. It feels intellectually lazy. Or is it stereotyping?
i wonder if these detracting comments are meant to be persuasive or just score points with like the like-minded. Consensus indicates something, i suppose, lol.
When I used to work in defense contracting, this is precisely what we (the contractor) did. We would buy up all available stock of any difficult-to-replace parts (often specific SBCs) when the manufacturer announced end of life.

One thing I think you won't like about this is that it's easier for large commercial vendors to comply than it is for open source projects.

For patch management particularly with EC2s, we use AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager.... fairly straightforward to setup once you configure a base image

Ben Rich talks about this being a rough spot for dealing with military contracts in the epilogue of his book, Skunk Works. I think it depends on the contract, for plane parts they did not allow for storage of parts :(
I also hate bash scripting, and as far as Unix shell go, bash is among the best. So many footguns... Dealing with filenames with spaces is a pain, and files that start with a '-', "rm -rf" in a script is a disaster waiting to happen unless you triple check everything (empty strings, are you in the correct directory, etc...), globs that don't match anything, etc...

But interactively, I much prefer Unix shells over PowerShell. When you don't have edge cases and user input validation to deal with, these quirks become much more manageable. Maybe I am lacking experience, but I find PowerShell uncomfortable to use, and I don't know if it has all these fancy interactive features many Unix shell have nowadays.

What you are saying essentially is that PowerShell is a better programming language than bash, quite a low bar actually. But then you have to compare it to real programming languages, like Perl or Python.

Perl has many shell-like features, the best regex support of any language, which is useful when everything is text, many powerful features, and an extensive ecosystem.

Python is less shell-like but is one of the most popular languages today, with a huge ecosystem, clean code, and pretty good two-way integration, which mean you can not only run Python from your executable, but Python can call it back.

If what you are for is portability and built-in commands, then the competition is Busybox, a ~1MB self-contained executable providing the most common Unix commands and a shell, very popular for embedded systems.

Haven't seen many in Texas other than liberal areas.

That said, they're actually really nice, will be getting one after another gen or two.

But I don't view it as a truck, more of a modern bullet-proof[1] el camino, still keeping an ICE truck for work/play.

> I'm not convinced that the philosophy of copyright is a net positive for society.

It absolutely is, just not in it's current overpowered form.

> where an employer (or other sponsors) pays the living wage for the creator, but the resulting work is then reusable by all.

Some creators want control over their own narrative, and that's entirely reasonable, at least for a limited time.

> I don't buy the argument that nobody would make things if they weren't copyrightable/paid directly.

That was never the argument as far as I'm aware. There are other concerns, like a creator losing all control of their creation before they had a chance to even finish what they wanted to do/tell.

They're not going to buy a new phone for it, but it might get them to update their OS
This wouldn't have worked for the llvm-mos use case I mentioned; the actual identity is the useful part. I'd expect each of these symbols was associated with a numeric code on a legacy computing platform, and having a Unicode assignment makes it possible to machine-convert text from these systems to and from Unicode.
But they are going to update to new iOS just to see that annoying emoji people keep using.
And removing that speech will? Because that’s worked in the past, right? Ya know, demonizing speech, demonizing those who practice said speech, culling them (either literally or metaphorically), ostracizing them. All of that has done wonders in history.
Switch off CrowdStrike junk. Those companies renewing contracts with them have idiots for leaders.

Many competing platforms that can be a drop in placement for ClownStrike.

Why are some of the octant mosaics missing? Most obviously, there is no character with all or none of the octants filled. My best case is that there are existing symbols to fill in the gaps.
His first novel, Player Piano, is about a different, but related theme.

It's about machines replacing human work, but it's not at all about the machines. It's about the people. It's about human dignity. Or, as Vonnegut says, it's about "a problem whose queasy horrors will eventually be made world-wide by the sophistication of machines. The problem is this: How to love people who have no use."
Better LLM Responses: Knowledge Graph or Text–Which Wins?
In San Francisco this week, and saw one for the first time (from a Waymo; presumably the cybertruck’s computer was seething with jealousy at the spinning lidar thingy as we passed). Burst out laughing (in my defence I’d had a drink or two, but it’s really an amazingly ridiculous looking object in the flesh.)

Sure, they’re probably a great vehicle for a mid-40s CPO/CMO.
And yet they unified the CJK characters when they could have been individually assigned.
Refusing to listen to one’s opinion, which is a valid form of self-expression, is in no way comparable to actively removing one’s right to speech as censorship entails.

Yep, I had a friend who overused it a lot. Like it was magic bullet for every problem. It’s not only about simple solution being better, it’s about not multiplying beings when that could be avoided.

In here if you already have an answer from their side, you are multiplying beings by going with conspiracy theory that they have nothing
If something's been in the ground for hundreds of years, it'll still be there for a few hundred more. There's little reason to want to maximize the amount you're excavating right now. Unless your goal is to find treasure and profit somehow.

I think the greater concern for artifact loss is someone doing earthworks, finding something, and then not reporting it because they don't want to wait for archaeologists to check out the site.
OK that’s neat but boils down to “here’s a cool game”. I was expecting a double blind study that measures some concentration metric vs a placebo intervention.

An honest question — when will unicode be finished? Or is it now like so many other things in IT, an endless path with no goal?
Why do people need to be on guard for those beliefs? People should be critical thinkers and not thought police.

Granted, there are all kinds of whackos in crypto, but we should only be concerned about the immoral ones trying to scam us out of our money: SBF, Do-Kwon, and the like.

GM did it in the early 2000's. It's not generally worth the trade-offs in a pickup truck (cost, durability, maintenance, weight capacity, wheel-well size, etc.).
The word ritual is orthogonal to how much is known about the usage. "Ritual" is just a way to describe objects that have some higher purpose, beyond any mundane and utilitarian purposes their basic form might serve. The textbook example is a thurible, the censer on a chain used in churches. They're not used because anyone specifically wants a lot of smoke in the air (a fog machine would do just fine) or because swinging them is fun, but rather because there's a higher ritual purpose being served by those particular objects being used in those particular ways.

It's like calling an object rugged or utilitarian. It's not a statement on what you know about the object's specific purpose, but rather an adjective describing something else entirely.
People aren’t eating the right foods and not exercising enough. The cause is very simple, the solution is not. It’s hard to get millions of people to make lifestyle changes and that’s even assuming they have access to healthier food in the first place.

No, I can’t separate Tesla from its childish, hateful, misogynist CEO.

No, I can’t separate Tesla from its smug, cultish owners. If you buy a Tesla it has a negative social connotation, the same way BMW owners can’t complain when people make turn signal jokes about them.

But also, my feeling is it’s positioned poorly in the market.

The Hummer EV is a better more capable vehicle that “does it all” a lot better. It’s more luxurious and the build quality is better. It’s better in every spec.

The Rivian R1T beats it out in range and capability as well, and some of its trim levels are cheaper than Tesla.

The Ford F-150 Lightning is cheaper and has a ton of design elements that have been proven by people who do real work.

And next we’ll be seeing the Silverado EV and RAM EV.

The CyberTruck comes in one color, has stainless steel panels basically glued on top of the unibody, has a barebones interior lacking a number of luxuries, and the recalled hub caps aren’t even shipping to customers.

It’s also going to be impossible for Tesla to refresh without major tooling changes. It’ll be like the PT Cruiser or New Beetle where it is overdesigned and can’t be easily transitioned to a second generation.

Conspiracy theory time. Because Apple is the only OS company that has reliably proven that it won't decrypt hard drives at government request.
I'm sorry but there comes a point where you have to call a spade a spade.

When you have the trifecta of regex, *argv packing and uninitialized memory you're reaching levels of incompetence which require being actively malicious and not just stupid.
> Four small-scale Chinese cloud providers charge local tech groups roughly $6 an hour to use a server with eight Nvidia A100 processors in a base configuration, companies and customers told the Financial Times. Small cloud vendors in the US charge about $10 an hour for the same set-up.

The same configuration (8xA100) is $6/hour on vast.ai. The servers offering this price are listed as located in the US.

> No. Does it matter if the content is relevant? No.

I think noting the prevalence of AI generated content masquerading as human is also relevant and important to point out.

If I want relevant content written by AI, then I will talk to an AI, not go to a forum. AI generated comments should be tagged as such.

For what it's worth, the user edited their comment after I posted so that it no longer appears to be written by AI. The original had all the signs of coming straight out of a ChatGPT prompt (but no longer does). You may have missed the comment before the edit, but it was very obvious.
I always find the “they want to murder me” route rather humorous. Who is “they”? Have they actively made reasonable threats to you or people you know? And I don’t just mean a post on 4chan calling for ethnic genocide, I mean genuine threats to you specifically.

In most situations, those who obtain power would rather work you as a slave force, and a fair portion would argue it’s already happened.
Keeping secrets and other sensitive data out of your SIEM is a very important part of SIEM design. Depending on what you’re dealing with you might want to tokenize it, or redact it, but you absolutely don’t want to don’t want to just ingest them in plaintext.

If you’re a PCI company then ending up with a credit card number in your SIEM can be a massive disaster. Because you’re never allowed to store that in plaintext, and your SIEM data is supposed to be immutable. In theory that puts you out of compliance for a minimum of one year with no way to fix it, in reality your QSAs will spend some time debating what to do about it and then require you to figure out some way to delete it, which might be incredibly onerous. But I have no idea what they’d do if your SIEM somehow became full of credit card numbers, that probably is unfixable…
I think NAS systems in particular are often configured to prevent drives from spinning down
Oh, so they're replacing those jobs? Glad the people got good severance.
These are encoding symbols from 80s microcomputers, so presumably the lack is in the source material.
I spent like 24 hours in some self-doubt: have I mercilessly hounded Altman as a criminal on HN in error? Have I lobbied if not hassled if not harassed my former colleagues on the irredeemable moral bankruptcy of OpenAI right before they invent Star Trek? AITA?

Oh sweet summer child, no, it’s worse than you even thought. It’s exactly what you’ve learned over a decade to expect from those people. If they had the backing of the domestic surveillance apparatus.

We don't really have to guess. Backblaze posted their stats for 4 TB HGST drives for 2024, and of their 10,000 drives, 5 failed. If OP's 2014 4 TB HGST drives are anything like this, then this is just snake oil and magic rituals and it doesn't really matter what you do.

Aha. I didn't even consider that could be a factor. You may well be right.

I do know, after having walked up many a high mountain, that a major pain point is the gained altitude. You're lifting your body weight several kilometers up! Distance walked is a much smaller factor.
Even if it isn’t a business expense (it may be) the shareholder doesn’t have to sell his shares and so incurs no tax liability- that year.
It’s sad to me that this type of car is street legal. It’s so clearly unsafe for everyone on the outside of it (other cars and all humans who share the streets). It’s a massive steel battering ram with acceleration that has no purpose other than entertainment and peacocking. Meanwhile I’m pushing my child in a stroller in fear.

I’m glad the NHTSA is going to start actually testing car safety with pedestrian dummies. That’s a start.
Has there been a precedent like this? I imagine tracking down a gazillion baby monitors would be very tiresome
Those are examples of chemical agents. Bioweapons (biological weapons) are weaponized pathogens like viruses or bacteria.
Some Lisp compilers like SBCL are already capable of more extensive compile-time type-checking, but its information that the programmer is up to supply, and tends to be the part of the optimization stage rather than normal, incremental development. Lisp is usually defined by its dynamic nature, and run-time type checking is a big part of this. Making the programmer have to worry about how objects are managed before the fact would conflict with the freedom and expressibility one would expect from such a system. It also makes the compilers themselves simpler in comparison: Normal code without any extra declarations is safe by default, some systems might ignore such declarations for always being 'safe' (say if you're on a bytecode VM like CLISP or a Lisp machine that does hardware type-checking). SBCL compiles code quite quickly--so I've heard others tend to be even faster; the Rust compiler on the other hand is more likely to introduce a young programmer to the concept of thrashing. I really see them as two mutually incompatible worlds although they may not seem to be at first glance. One thing to remember is that Lisp is essentially the flagship "The Right Thing" language, while C is the "Worse is Better" language. Rust is neither, it is something entirely different which I think is overdue for a name, perhaps something that reflects the losing characteristics of both philosophies.

(This isn't to discredit the OP article: it's still a cool hack!)
I thought so too, until I saw one in the wild (they're still very rare where I live). It was quite something coming at us in the opposite lane, and the steel has a neat, purplish, oil-slick sheen to it in the sunlight. I'm not rushing to buy one, I still prefer my Bolt EUV, but I think it looks better in person than it does in pictures.
For what it's worth this isn't that uncommon. Most drives fail in the first few years, if you get through that then annualized failure rates are about 1-2%.

I've had the (small) SSD in a NAS fail before any of the drives due to TBW.
Way to cherry pick the one definition that fits your argument and ignore all the other definitions which kinda fit for what this model is doing.
I agree. Unicode needs to be splitted in two: one serious part focusing on the original mission and real world documented scripts, the other doing whatever it wants with stupid emojis.
