I didn't assume it was some kind of rebuttal of my comment. I'm generally looking for genuine, meaty discussion.

The pandemic impacted the entire globe and a lot of internet comments were driven by fear, not genuine curiosity or interest in problem solving.

While I understand why that is, it doesn't go good places.

I am perfectly happy to accept your assertion that context suggests this is basically a politically motivated piece trying to dismiss claims that it originated in a lab.

I wrote a piece elsewhere that boils down to "Christmas travel brought us the global pandemic." Regardless of where the issue originated, it spread globally and didn't remain a local crisis thanks to global travel and how that gets handled.

I don't have answers but I don't like the way the whole thing was handled and it's nigh impossible to have meaningful discussion of that with anyone anywhere on the Internet.

And given the lack of quality discussion, it's impossible to develop a good framework for how to even see the problem space.

My marriage was a case of opposites attract and we were once shopping for a bookcase and I hated the bookcase he wanted and he hated the bookcase I wanted. So I finally had the sense to ask why he liked it.

I wanted something pretty. He wanted something sturdy that wouldn't collapse under the weight of the books.

Armed with this information, it was possible to find a bookcase we both liked.

Decades later, most internet discussion seems to still be stuck in that space before I asked that question where we both thought the other person was clearly an idiot. Only I don't know how to get past it online.
This is 100% the correct insight in my experience.

TL;DR, most technical people massively overestimate the technical / data abilities of regular spreadsheet users. We find simple use cases are best, and with each new LLM release the UX around more complex data improves significantly.

The reason we chose to build as a full-blown spreadsheet instead of just a table-based solution was that we saw that most people want the flexibility of a regular spreadsheet, but access to their (structured) business data. Table-based solutions wedge you into AI and you can never get out of that.
Not seeing high level of hospitalization due to H5N1 and the human cases that are reported do not share a common source genome I think is how they conclude that. Basically the humans that have contracted it and reported symptoms do not get it from a common source and there is no evidence of human to human transmission in the cases that are reported.

Interesting read. Her proposal for a “bounce” cosmology sounds like it has a neat explanation for why things appear smooth, but as far as why/how the universe should bounce at all (especially given current consensus that the current universe will NOT bounce) are only briefly gestured at (“promising recent work”, to paraphrase).

Has that work developed and found traction among physicists in the 7 years since the article?
Really like this! Funnily enough I was just rabbit holing into terraform + ansible in an effort to do essentially this but with an anycast network. The thinking was to mirror apps across locations with a single deploy. I don't suppose you're plannning something similar with this one?

Somehow, I feel that would be more interesting as there is even less public information about them.

Thats a spicy example dataset!

I like that it's able to infer information from the context of the cells, e.g. being able to run a query across continents when the data only contains the country.

Being able to ask it to interpret the results is helpful, it would be cool if it automatically told you if there was enough data to have statistical significance in the conclusions it was presenting.
How do they plan on collecting on that if the money is moved out of Brazilian accounts?

I've never found the idea of an emergency radio itself as unconvincing but I've remained relatively unconvinced requiring them to be built into cars was a particularly reliable, useful, or efficient way to go about ensuring access to such radios in disaster scenarios. It seems a lot more like a "well that's the only place I know of that still has an AM radio today so it should stay that way!" regulation than a "AM radio access" regulation.

According to the article, they've previously collected by just withdrawing money directly from X's and/or Starlink's local accounts:

There's a hard physical limit (the Rayleigh criterion) on the resolution of an optical system by how big the open end is. You won't get "super zoom" capabilities without a satellite the size of a stadium. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KH-11_KENNEN#Resolution_and_gr...
My experience is that the 0% interest on credit time for large companies enabled open source to thrive: open source maintainers were flush with cash and time. Large companies with ample cash let their staff do anything to keep them happy (and away from their competitors!), including allocated time for OSS contributions.

Now that 0% interest has ended 'regular' people like me are not flush with cash. Any time I have I need to spend on activities that will bring in money. Why would I waste that on open source?

(Another aspect is the McKinsey-ification of the work place in the last ~10 years or so. Managers are making decisions in tech now, not tech people. all my life I was told that OSS contributions will look great on my CV. So far nobody who has made a decision to hire me has had the background, interest, or knowledge to judge, or even care, for my OSS contributions.)
Absolutely. That’s my plan as well. I never said this was inevitable, but it is a well established pattern. Even with weight training, it’s harder than it would be when you’re younger to pack on the pounds of muscle.
Presumably Apple or AMD.

I disagree. Intel seems to be as good as either one at chip design, but they are hamstrung by behind behind in manufacturing. They haven't really struggled with performance, its performance per watt and cost that are their problems. Both of those are mostly fab issues.

Lunar Lake, built on TSMC, looks really competitive. Both with Apple, and with AMD (though AMD has had constant struggles with shipping laptop chips to the point they aren't even seriously considered for large scale enterprise deployment).
1 is clearly ethical, someone has to install an app specifically for this in exchange for money. Your ISP might not like it but since when does anyone care about an ISP ToS? You're not allowed to pirate movies either according to your ISP.
I saw that, but I was curious once X decides to pull the money from the accounts (assuming they can, which I guess is a big assumption at this point).
A lot of the discussion here is taking it for granted that staff+ comes with additional "responsibilities" that will differentiate your day-to-day from senior level engineers. That's often true, especially at larger companies, but don't forget that levels above senior exist at smaller companies too. In some cases it really just means you get paid more and have a more senior title. So, maybe not something to avoid?
You may see that we try to suggest follow-up questions or question improvements where we think better context-in will result in a better result-out.

Curious what will happen if you modify the question to be more explicit?

I have seen that PMs and data-trained folk tend to be very articulate in asking for exactly what they want and that tends to lead to significantly better LLM responses.

Well, we also can’t get to Arctic data centers without trying and I’d argue that’s far more likely to be achievable of a goal.

The only layoffs Intel mentioned specifically are in sales and marketing. Does this change how you feel?

edit: As a reference, last quarter Intel spent ~$4.4B on R&D and ~$1.6B on SGA (sales, general, and administrative).
Agree with you, and we're definitely trying to thread the needle!

We're generating the SQL to answer natural language questions, so folks can just get answers and results tables if that's all they need, with the option for power users to fiddle with the SQL either directly or via a query editor GUI.

There's a ton of use cases for working with unstructured and semi-structured data and that's coming down the pipe!
It's not trademark infringement to copy or display a logo. Trademark infringement happens when you confuse customers by using a logo or phrase and make them think that you're selling the actual product or that you're somehow endorsed by the original company.
Not sure I see a problem with that, really. Emergency response contributions are about as compelling a reason for social obligations as is possible, not everyone will benefit from them but anyone could need them. And since property exists and is maintained as a social construction, it makes sense it might come with some social obligations. About the only thing to quibble with is whether burning logs specifically fit a good set of requirements for relay comms, which might be the point of your comment beyond amusement, and I suppose it accomplishes both, though it starts to wear thin at the point where if you make a list of desirable features, AM radio starts to look pretty good.
FEMA maintains about 80 AM transmitters in Faraday cages, with backup generators, across the country. Amateur HAMs maintain a lot more, though of lower power.
Poe's law. Lichess is 14 years old and their longest outage is less than 12 hours. Google and AWS have both had ~6 hour outages and that's with billions od dollars depending on them and thousands of engineers. Simpler is working just fine.
The filthiest SSH tunneling hack that I've ever done was at 3AM while in a three-way... datacenter connection. The interesting part of that, while the three facilities, spaced out over a single metro area had upstream transit connectivity to the rest of the net, only two pairs were able to reach the other due to some odd routing policies that weren't able to be resolved in time.

That meant that A could connect to B, and only B could connect to C. The data I had to move from facility A to facility C via B in the most ridiculous rsync+ssh tunnel+keys+routing shenanigan mashup I've ever done. It took a few tries to get the incantation exactly right, but it was magical seeing it all move as one.

Looking back it is super obvious how I'd do it now, but back then being green, was a huge accomplishment. I still remember the exhilaration when I confirmed everything was synced up.
Meanwhile, everyone else is moving their important workloads from cloud back to on-prem.

Sorry this was uncalled for.
Maybe not introduce so much complications in the tech stack in the first place?
There’s a few different perspectives on this. One is, there isn’t much of a need to verify the implementation once you’ve verified an abstract specification. The costliest errors are _design_ mistakes, i.e. high-level errors that could never lead to a satisfactory implementation. Once you figure those issues out, it’s simple to write an implementation that conforms to the spec.

I think there’s actually merit to that perspective if you think about it for a while. However, I have also seen relatively simple behavior be implemented in complex ways, usually due to performance optimizations. In those cases, it’s nontrivial to know if it’s implementing the spec. But the spec can be used to generate test cases in many ways, e.g. http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol13/p1346-davis.pdf.

Frankly, I’ve had the most success by not using TLA+ and by instead writing executable models. And then using the model to show the expected values for interesting test cases, and then manually write test cases using those expected values.
Are you asking if I have such disrespect to Hamas and Hezbollah?

Interesting! It would be nice to solve dark matter & excise inflation in one stroke (or a few strokes). My lay understanding of PBHs—as-dark-matter is that it has been whittled down to a pretty tight range of their masses, though, bounded by “they would’ve already evaporated” and “we’d already have detected them”
July to September is actually a pretty impressive turnaround by biomedical research standards. Many of my papers take a year or more. Just another reason to push for wider usage of preprints.

Speaking of secret spacecraft - has anything interesting ever been revealed about the “Zuma” satellite, which failed to reach orbit a few years ago? It was supposedly a very expensive, very important program, but so secret that no agency ever admitted to owning it.

This seems like a worthwhile fight. I'm surprised to see someone taking it up, though, most of the time company's just seem to comply with government mandated censorship.
If you want to see the effect of the real-time kernel, build and run the cyclictest utility from the Linux Foundation.

https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/realtime/documentation/howt...

It measures and displays the interrupt latency for each CPU core. Without the real-time patch, worst case latency can be double digit milliseconds. With the real-time patch, worst case drops to single digit microseconds. (To get consistently low latency you will also have to turn off any power saving states, as a transition between sleep states can hog the CPU, despite the RT kernel.) Cyclictest is an important tool if you're doing real-time with Linux.

As an example, if you're doing processing for software defined radio, it's the difference between the system occasionally having "blips" and the system having rock solid performance, doing what it is supposed to every time. With the real time kernel in place, I find I can do acid-test things, like running GNOME and libreoffice on the same laptop as an SDR, and the SDR doesn't skip a beat. Without the real-time kernel it would be dropping packets all over the place.
Ok so you admit we can identify onion services, and it’s common knowledge that the NSA knows your personal traffic patterns. If you think they can’t correlate the two, I have a bridge to sell you.

Hey indigo,

Thank you for pointing this out. When I was looking to install caddy, I was specifically looking for something without using docker since my VPS is 1g / 1cpu and that is what I based my comment off. When was reading the sidekick docs seemed by running one command that it would first install sidekick and then install the cert/app all with one docker file but now I am not even sure about that.

Appreciate you pointing that out, now I am back into analysis paralysis on which one I should use

I can imagine a scenario: Apple donates openCL, then later suggests some changes for the next version. Khronos delays or pushes back and now openCL is stuck from Apple's perspective and they can't do anything about it.
Yep, had I known that nearly 20 years ago I would have done just that. That's the ideal way to do it now!
Destroying your critical thinking apparatus for the sake of a bunch of kooks is going a bit too far for me.
What about multiple satellites working to get one image?

(Assuming your take is correct) Well perhaps if Israel would try to help Palestine care for its people, Palestine would be less willing to be used as a tool for Jewish oppression by other Muslim nations.

At the moment, they are in horrendous crisis, the most obvious and immediate cause of that is Israel and Israel is effectively cooperating with the (according to you) Islamic agenda of painting them as the bad guy so they have a good excuse to exterminate them.

I'm an environmental studies major. I've read for years that our next wars will be fought over water. It looks to me like that's what we are seeing in Gaza.

Water is life. You can't survive without it. Politics aside, if Gaza can't get adequate water to survive, well, most organisms have a survival instinct and will fight like a cornered rat when given no viable means to survive while playing nice with their neighbors.
I imagine avoiding IP legal issues with things like icons could be less about signing agreements with all involved companies and more about having a team that can respond professionally to an inquiry.

Businesses may often not really understand what’s going on and default to being worried about third-party use of their trademarks that they normally must defend. Perhaps they don’t need to worry in this case, where it may actually provide a bit of free advertisement, but if there’s no one on the other side then it wouldn’t help the case.

IANAL
or, you could be infecting your mouth with a stubborn bacteria that will be difficult if not impossible to eradicate, that has the capacity to laterally acquire pathogenic genes, or through the toxin it produces, suppress other microbes which are actively beneficial. For the low cost of $500, you could end up with a lifetime of medical issues.
The changes couldn’t have been more incremental. Routing hardware only understood the IPv4 header (and at that time I believe a lot of this was baked in silicon). There was no way to create an IPv4+ without needing to replace all the internet’s routers before it could reliably work.

How would have it made it easier to migrate when all of the new blocks wouldn’t be accessible (in either direction) if the traffic passed through any router that hadn’t yet been upgraded? Nobody could really use any of the extended space at all until every single router had been upgraded to this IPv4+.

It is a common misunderstanding (I hear “we could have just made IPv4 bigger” a lot) but apart from the routing issues above (needing to replace every router before it could work at all), the endpoints are also a problem. Nothing in the expanded space could actually call out to a legacy IPv4 endpoint - it could sent packets to it, but that legacy host wouldn’t be able to return packets back since it wouldn’t understand the larger address. And of course the legacy endpoint couldn’t initiate a connection to anything in the extended space either from its side.

So you not only have all the same problems of IPv6 (like needing to upgrade everything), you actually add a bunch of problems of breaking the ability of big parts of the internet from being able to communicate with the rest.

Dual-stack was necessary because everything couldn’t be switched over on the same day. If everything was upgraded at once, your extended-IPv4 idea would work, but otherwise it would break the internet!
Depends on the department I guess. In my CS department, it's more like a job interview than some personal essay bs.
You might have clicked a notification on either device on accidently and set it the wrong direction.

When you first connect, the power capabilities are negotiated and usually the more powerful device takes on the "source" role while the other gets to be the "sink".

This can be dynamically controlled and switched back and forth so some devices have UI to select what to do.
Is there anything portable you can get that you can just slap on a bike and have it move electrically? Maybe some small battery+motor that can clamp directly to one of the gears or something?
A fair point, but there's no need to have the antenna connected unless the radio is actively on. It could be on a relay. Many radios would be off during the EMP.
their argument is well reasoned and significant. The very real potential of the bacteria to acquire genes that make it pathogenic, coupled with how hard it would be to eradicate, should make all but the most desperate think twice. The final nail in the coffin, should be the fact that this is not even likely to work the way it is intended to.
