It seems to be assumed that I've heard of "psi". No definition is given, nor can I even find one on wikipedia. A search yields information about the unit of physical pressure.

One of the examples given of a psi-related phenomenon is extra-sensory perception. As far as I know, ESP has never been rigorously demonstrated to exist, although it's been attempted many times.

What's this about?
Tower of Babel
Most modern developers (those who got started >2000) never had to worry about hyperefficiency — i.e., bitpacking. To them bandwidth, like diskspace, is near infinite and free. Who uses a single reserved bit to set a zero or a 1 these days when you can use a whole int32 (or int64)?

Yet I applaud your desire to make things more wire-efficient.
You might not be giving enough credit to the complexity of industrial labor. Industry tends to imply that the humans are a fallible part of a mechanical system, but the skill and culture of manufacturing laborers could be just as complex as in large software systems.
This is cool but would be even cooler if it could do code similarity search. The cost would probably be prohibitively high though unless you only did like 10000 repos. https://github.com/microsoft/CodeBERT/tree/master/UniXcoder#...
Not that it removes you entirely from the PKI ecosystem as you seem to desire, but in case you’re not aware since 2017 CAs are required to check and honour the CAA DNS records you set. These specify which CAs are allowed to issue certificates for your domain.

If any CA issues a certificate anyway, they’re in violation of requirement 3.2.2.8. Don’t know what you’re up to, but I have to imagine it would have to be pretty interesting to someone for one of those companies to face down an existential threat and misissue a certificate for your domain.

Where can a career in GPU coding take you?
From the very beginning of my tenure at my current "start-up" I wrote a Rust bespoke implementation using the base OpenTelemetry library with lots of opinionated defaults and company specifics. We integrated this early on in our microservice development, and it's been an absolute game changer. All of our services include the library and use a simple boilerplate macro to include metrics and tracing into our Actix and Tonic servers, Tonic client, etc. Logs are slurped off Kubernetes pods using promtail.

It was easy enough that I, as a single SRE (at the time) could write and implement across dozens of services in a few months of part-time work while handling all my other normal duties. OpenTelemetry has proved to be worth the investment, and we have stayed within the Grafana ecosystem, now paying for Grafana Cloud (to save our time on maintaining the stack in our Kubernetes clusters).

I would absolutely recommend it. I would recommend it and hopefully use it at any new future positions.

I wish there was a better solution to this crisis. There should be a corporate tax on software companies solely to fund open source efforts or something of the like.

Some open source projects have merged into one umbrella organization to better solicit sponsors but I don't think that will lead to anything fruitful, more so lead to a thing like Canonical where there's a profit motivation to the project

Maybe it's about the ability to build the reactor vessel itself smaller, more like 'common of the shelf', utilizing shipyards, or their supply chains.

I think I've read something about that being a choke point in the way of envisioned mass production.

The capacity to build large reactor vessels en masse isn't there, and probably won't be, for economic reasons.

I guess some of my questions are addressed in the latter half of the post, but I'm still puzzled why a prominent service didn't have a plan for what looked like a run of the mill hardware outage. It's hard to know exactly what happened as I'm having trouble parsing some of the post (what is a 'network connector'? is it a cable? nic?). What were some of the 'increasingly outlandish' workarounds? Are they actually standing up production hosts manually, and was that the cause of a delay or unwillingness to get new hardware goin? I think it would be important to have all of that set down either in documentation or code seeing as most of their technical staff are either volunteers, who may come and go, or part timers. Maybe they did, it's not clear.

It's also weird seeing that they are still waiting on their provider to tell them exactly what was done to the hardware to get it going again, that's usually one of the first things a tech mentions: "ok, we replaced the optics in port 1" or "I replaced that cable after seeing increased error rates", something like that.
My intent here is not to distort the meaning but rather to apply it, fully intact, to the concept of capitalism.

I do wonder if the graph at the end is skewed with specifically the phrase "normalization of deviance" because it's searching all of Google books in aggregate and that phrase found a second home to describe lgbt acceptance among conservative political writers. It's not an incorrect usage per se if you assume their premise but it probably doesn't line up with discussions around workplace safety.
Open Source is a voluntary community. You don't have to contribute if you don't want to; you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

But trying to apply it to all of society would require forcing it on those who are not voluntarily willing to do things that way. That's where the difference comes: Is it voluntary, or not? And that's where the problem comes for socialist societies - there are always lots of people who don't want to live that way, and you have to force them.

There seems to be another route to socialism, or at least socialism lite: democratically pass legislation, one piece at a time. That does not have the moral problem of force. But you won't see your vision in your lifetime.

My whole point was that you should try to live in a country with excellent public transport. I have been tried many places, and I would only consider Switzerland to fit that description(maybe Luxembourg, which has fantastic _free_ public transport).

Would you describe Bostons public transport (decades ago) as “excellent”, or are you just being obtuse?

Mind you, most of Europe has pretty good public transport, I wouldn’t call it excellent.

> Solar panels only work because there's a temperature difference between the panel and the optical surface of the Sun.

I believe this isn't quite true (even though it's often repeated).

Consider that you could have an LED, at the same temperature as the PV cell, emitting light onto the PC cell, and so the PV cell would "generate" power without a temperature differential.

The Carnot cycle applies (in its initial form, at least), ONLY to generating power from temperature differentials, but PV uses the photoelectric effect, not temperature differentials.

This is not my area of expertise, but I think you can generalize the Carnot efficiency to talk about low-entropy energy sources instead of temperature differentials, but it's not quite as simple as associating a light wavelength with a temperature, because that doesn't work for radiation from something that's not a black body (like a laser or an LED).

I don't get the conclusion.

The two blue graphs (academic psi and lay psi) look like each other, and the two yellow graphs (academic skeptics and lay skeptics) look like each other. The data show the opposite of the headline: academic researchers into the paranormal seem to believe in it, while other academics don't.

Maybe this is some kind of meta-comment on how the "academic psi researchers" typically interpret hard data...
Yes it is possible. However, it would probably require regulatory changes. It would really suck to have your internet shutdown because someone was pirating movies on the mesh.
Work closely with UI designers at the company. Make sure their design process (sticker sheets or whatever) uses the components you're building and vice versa.

If developers have to twist and contort your components match mocks, then they'll start thinking "you know, this would be a whole lot easier if I just did it myself...". But if the developers get a mock that's obviously just YourDialog containing a YourRadioButtonGroup, YourValidatingInputField, and YourSubmitCancelButtonSet, then they'll just use them.
You should try out Taiga.io. Super simple (possibly TOO simple), light-weight, open-source and self-hostable.
This is also not correct. No form of socialism has worked and therefore, empirically, it does not work. Capitalism, however, has raised the standard of living for more people across more socioeconomic classes in more places than any other idea in human history, and that's provable on any measure of the quality of human life.
they aren’t wrong. backwards compatibility is a suppose to one of the first promises any mature programming languages. unless you make it explicit via noting breaking changes in major version updates (1.X.X —> 2.X.X) or the language is purely for R&D and makes no guarantee of anything
Of course, if we consider all actions by non-state combatants against state military actors to be terrorism, the US and Western Europe has frequently been a big sponsor of terrorism. A recent cause that many are sympathetic to of this nature that immediately comes to my mind are the Kurds in Syria during the Syrian civil war.
No, booby trapping is really clear:

"Rule 80. The use of booby-traps which are in any way attached to or associated with objects or persons entitled to special protection under international humanitarian law or with objects that are likely to attract civilians is prohibited."

Examples of protected objects are childrens toys or medical supplies bearing the insignia of the red cross; but if you want further reading: See, the military manuals of Belgium (ibid., § 32), France (ibid., § 39) and Germany (ibid., § 43) - hard to read without translations though.

Examples of protected persons include, of course, doctors who wear the red-cross insignia. However it's also a war-crime to wear this insignia and act in the interests of any power exclusively, or operate as a combatant. - so, owning military equipment that is given out by the high command of a terror organisation would immediately disqualify you, and if you survived the blast you would be facing a tribunal.

However, Booby-traps which are used in a way not prohibited by the current rule are still subject to the general rules on the conduct of hostilities, in particular the principle of distinction (see Rules 1 and 7- linked below) and the principle of proportionality (see Rule 14). In addition, the rule that all feasible precautions must be taken to avoid, and in any event to minimize, incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians and damage to civilian objects (see Rule 15) must also be respected.

But proportionality is in play if you do not fall below the NATO recommended 4:1 combatant:civilian ratio. Which it seems Israel didn't.

Honestly, even as it is, I am not very much impressed. I feel like the most of the reaction here is... artificial? I mean, look at him, poor guy, he has cancer, of course we should side with him against evil Mozilla. All these statements that "I am finally ditching Firefox" despite that nothing really has changed are just virtue signaling. Many of the firefox-ditchers in this comments section cannot even properly tell, what they are ditching it for. They just support all good against all evil.

I never liked Mozilla leadership in many, many years. It never was the point, really. The only thing that matters always was Firefox, and the only real question was if there is anything better. I don't claim to have an answer to that question (let's just say there were multiple occasions when I considered switching, but never did), but I can tell you for sure, whatever it is, it couldn't have changed because of this guy's demise.

Siding with him feels kinda ironic in a way. It was unsightly when it was about Brendan Eich or servo team, because these are technical people, who created something of value, which is why Mozilla exist. But this guy is basically the very same "evil Mozilla leadership" who only turned out on the bottom side of the internal corporate games. He isn't the one who created Firefox, or JavaScript, or Rust, or anything. He worked in Microsoft for 14 years, not in Mozilla. I'm not even sure I can recollect, how exactly Firefox changed in the past 2 years (except for Translate button, this was nice). Which is probably a good sign, but still, I don't know any reason to cheer for this guy. He is just a dude with cancer, that's basically his only "defence". Defence against... being demoted? Oh, come on. I wonder if his compensation decreased by 40% is less than the total cost of the former Servo team. (And just by the way, the fact I am constantly mentioning Servo doesn't mean I am blaming Mozilla for that decision. It surely wasn't nice, but it is understandable. Firefox is free to use, never financially viable, doesn't have any plans to become financially viable. It is a miracle of sorts that Google still agrees to sponsor them.)

And having something like this in his defence speech:

> He questioned the need for the layoffs and raised concerns about the potential to disproportionately impact women and people of color

Well, it surely doesn't make me more sympathetic.
Digital goods are different than physical goods: they are (mostly) easily reproducible. If I build a house for myself, building a house for you is still a tremendous amount of effort and expense. If I build a piece of software for myself, giving you a copy is nearly zero effort.

This produces extremely different economic dynamics.

> various disability communities would not like me since, among other things, I strongly advocate for pre natal testing and elective abortion of people with serious issues like blindness.

I think they're right to not want you around them, you sound odious to them and your ideas are very questionable. Where do you draw the line as there are various degrees of disability. What if you discover that you yourself already have a disability such as lacking empathy for example and while you adapted to your life well someone comes along advocating to terminate pregnancies with your condition?

The transparency is hard to judge from this one photo, where there's a flat background to it and a line or two.

This seems not at all unreasonably subtle to me. Even with the array of feeder lines, yeah, maybe it's not for very high end stash places but for most places this seems ay okay.

Given what the alternatives are for urban and commercial spaces, this feels like a big win.

My main concern is power level. How much power can you emit if Joe in accounting is 8 feet away from it, and how does that compare versus normal building mounted or pole mounted antennas? Also, what frequencies is this antenna designed for; it seems like 5g can run on lots of spectrum; is this mmWave gear or lower?

Apologies for soapboxing, but I want to chip in my belief that this world is driven by those who see possibility & potential.
In laser chess, pieces have different movement rules.

You can move a piece 1 or 2 spaces in a single direction (1 east, or 2 east, but not 1 north east unless that was used as two moves). You could also rotate on your turn. Firing a laser was optional.

In Khet, you can move one piece 1 adjacent spot (any of the 8) or rotate (not both) and you always fired the laser.

The rules are different - and the rules are patented.

If you had different rules that weren't covered by the claims, it would be a different game.

Laser strategy game board - https://patents.google.com/patent/US20080054563A1/en - that's a different game that was patented after Khet.

They are different games with different rules.

To be fair, Ruby YJIT can still somehow be slower than Python 3.11+ at times. Lua JIT is a bit of a separate effort and the ones that truly try the hardest here are Julia (which is not necessarily interpreted, it's really difficult to call it a pure scripting language at this point) and JavaScript engine implementations. I can see pretty good numbers for SBCL on BenchmarksGame too.

I don't understand how running a single command to start either a single container or a stack of them with compose, that then gets all the requirements in a tarball similar and just runs is seen as more complicated than running random binaries, setting values on php.ini, setting up mysql or postgres, demonizing said binaries and making sure libraries and the like are in order.
