> Microsoft falling prey to antitrust only led to a new generation

The slap on the wrist Microsoft received with the antitrust action was completely inconsequential on the subject matter (browser bundling) but managed to discourage the company and thus reduced competition exactly when we needed it the most: at the onset of the mobile wars which were fought and won by companies already founded at the time of the lawsuit - instead of startups. Because regulation favors the incumbents. Always.

And you can't count the unfounded startups but I am not happy with the state of competition in today's high-tech scene. I remember when there were dozens of compiler, word-processor, spreadsheet, OS and microcomputer companies competing in the 80s and 90s. I blame it squarely on government regulation: the Microsoft lawsuit and Sarbanes-Oxley. Their chilling effect on startup creation was clearly visible in the 00's.

That is true for China, since their overall energy demand is growing massively. But is that also true for other parts of the world like the US or EU? Because looking at the electricity production [1] this doesn't seem to be the case. So in those markets they would compete for replacing existing fossil power plants. I think we can expect some growth, but not on a level even close to China.

Disapproving a new theory of everything paper that just dropped [video]
You can't just invent a number because you like it more. Solar and Wind are cheaper than nuclear even if you go beyond LCOE and include system costs. Even the nuclear lobby acknowledges this nowadays and has switched to other arguments.
What you describe is common "management of complexity", or, really, lack thereof.

These problems are independent of "microservices" vs "monolith". They are independent of "using a framework" vs "no framework". They are independent of programming-language or hosting infra.

Managing complexity, in itself, is a daunting task. It's hard in a monolith, it's hard in microservices. Building a tangled big ball of spaghetti is rather common in e.g. Rails - it takes a lot of experience, discipline and dedication to avoid it.

Languages (type systems, checkers, primitives), frameworks, hosting infra, design patterns, architectures, all of these are tools to help manage the complexity. But it still starts with a dedication to manage it today, and still be able to do so in a decade.

Microservices don't inherently descend into an unmanageable tangle of tightly coupled, poorly bounded "services". Just as a monolith doesn't inherently descend into an unmanageable tangle of tightly coupled, poorly bounded "modules".
No. They absolutely are NOT happening. In fact, this is one of the very few technical solutions I'm very confident to state is never happening.

1) The economic model is unproven so even initial costs will be far too high to pay of debt incurred to manufacture, market, and maintain and they're not competitive with extant mass-market alternatives on cost & time out-of-the-gate with no clear pathway to even being niche competitive, let alone having mass-market adoption. And no, the Airship cruise industry is never going to take-off (heh) because there wouldn't be any extant "ports of call" (unlike with sea-going cruise ships) and no way to economically stimulate their construction.

2) Inclement weather mitigations (aside from docking, re-routing (delaying), or rescheduling (also delaying)) are virtually non-existent so there's a much higher trip variance which eats into fuel, time, labor, and ultimately a far higher cost variance which (as a 2nd order effect) leads to an overall MUCH higher cost to operate ANY route compared to conventional cargo or mixed-mode transportation. As a historic model, look at the air cargo transport costs in the transition from mandated multi-stop piston engine refueling and in-weather flying in the late 1930s to single-hop above-the-weather flying in the gas turbine "jet age" of the late 1940s. It's not JUST that jets were much faster, they were also far more predictable to service routes AND had far lower maintenance costs. A lower, slower, and less predictable airship with higher maintenance costs and, at best, a handful of percentage points off of the dollars/mile/ton figure with a higher initial cost outlay doesn't merit investment.

3) Safety is still a huge issue for any airship attempting station-keeping or full-authority-navigation close to any ground-effect altitude which is, unfortunately, also the airspace where any accident is likely to cause the most collateral damage. No other form of transport has this problem and, with current tech, would seem insolvable without turning the airship into a poorly performing version of a plane or rotor-craft.

In case you really have two eyes pointing in a single direction, you should see an oculist urgently. Mine are doing a perfect 3D picture. Also, unlike the eyes of my Tesla which becomes blind when it rains, or if there is any light reflection, I can still see things.

Also, should your eye cameras be in fixed position, you even more urgently should see a doctor. Mine can be turned 180° on the X-axis, and 120° on the Y-axis.

And finally: My eye cameras have working high-speed auto-focus, HDR, are protected against rain or snow, can operate at very low ISO, and have retina resolution.

Interestingly helicopters don't fall out of the sky when they lose power. Air moving over the rotorblades causes lift, as they are after all wings. During normal flight the blades are turned by the engine generating lift in the expected way. If you are already above the ground and start descending, the airflow over the blades as you descend will cause them to rotate and generate lift. This is known as autorotation[0], and allows control over the unpowered descending craft.

It is a normal procedure to be able to safely land this way when power has been lost, and in some ways is safer than a gliding fixed wing aircraft as you don't need a runway to land on.

Of course catastrophic failure is possible in a helicopter where the rotorblades can't turn, and then autorotation won't work. But then if a wing falls off a fixed-wing aircraft, they generally can't be controlled (interesting exceptions do exist like with the Israeli F15[1]).

another reason is to fire up coal less.

Again, look at yesterday generation. They were not able to satisfy local demand with renewables and bumped up coal+gas by a lot.

Also, if you look at the numbers - the price difference isn't that huge but trade difference is huge. This year export price is less than 1$ more than import. Problem is Germany net imported 25TWh so they are still in a big trade deficit and it continues to grow considering dunkelflaute is ahead

The Future of Big Iron: An Interview with IBM’s Christian Jacobi
The hotel guest was certainly not right to complain.

There are people - often religious - who have a funny definition of "welcoming" which comes perilously close to "either believe as I do, or at least have the decency to pretend that you do in public."

Shucks to that. The guest is demanding that others sacrifice their own integrity to stroke her ego, and placate her obviously fragile beliefs. It is not the job of everyone else in the world to suspend their beliefs to sustain yours. We have a word for such a demand. It's intolerance.

Of course, most religious people are nothing like this (shout out to you, the lovely ones!), and some irreligious people are exactly like this, but intolerance is a trait that does naturally correlate with all-encompassing systems of belief.
Yes, it was a big deal when I was in school in the 70s. Everyone played. There were never any conkers left unclaimed under any Horse Chestnut within a mile of the school. We all tried lots of tricks - soaking in vinegar, baking in the oven - practically anything was allowed, but I'm not sure any of it made a difference. It could be pretty painful as getting your hand hit by a high speed conker was common occurrence, but I don't recall anyone getting any lasting injuries.

I wish this was for sale assembled. I know probably about 50% about printing PCBs compared to what I’d need to know, don’t have a 3D printer, and I expect that the firmware and apps probably have at least one or two quirks to take into account. All together, this makes it a big difference in accessibility between being able to buy an assembled item and tinkering oneself. I know tinkering is fun for many people, but having a mobile ham is fun for many more.

P.S. Upon second glance, it looks like I’d need soldering skills, too. These things really add to the price. The price of components may be $35, but the cost of learning all these things (time) and mistakes along the way may be in the thousands if we take the hourly rate of a tech worker. Flawed comparison, I know, but you get the point.

That was actually excacly our angle of attack: see the routes, modules or jobs that were putting the most pressure on the servers.

Then copy the entire app over to separate servers, connected to the same db cluster. Have an app router direct everything except, say /reports/ to the old servers, and /reports/ itself to the copies on new servers.

Did the old servers reduce significant in load? Rip out the part there. Better? Now rewrite, cleanup, isolate or extract the, e.g. /reports/ part on the servers. Better?

Then, finally, disconnect the service from the shared DB (microservices sharing a DB is the worst idea ever.) and have it communicate either via a message bus, via REST calls or not communicate at all.
> The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is a very conservative organization

I'm glad they are, actually! Personally, I'm not really convinced by the "small modular reactor" concept. Ok, so building a big nuclear power plant is expensive. But is it really cheaper to build 10 smaller nuclear power plants (which all need to conform to the same safety regulations, need maintenance, personnel etc.) instead?

Phi 3.5 is pretty bad in practice, the Phi series always benchmarks well on the popular benchmarks and then falls over IRL (or on less-popular benchmarks). It would be nice to see it against Qwen2.5, but the Qwen team didn't release any evals on the 7B version AFAIK, so I can see why the Zamba folks compared it against other published benchmarks of similar-sized models.

In general the idea with these hybrid SSM architectures is to show that you can get good results with fewer training tokens, and to significantly improve inference speed. Even if Qwen2.5 was better at MMLU, etc, it definitely used way more training tokens to get there (18T tokens for Qwen2.5 vs 3T for Zamba2), so Zamba2 is still a pretty useful result.

TBD if Zamba2 is actually good in real world usage (Phi3.5 for example used only 3.4T tokens and got good public benchmark results, it's just not very good at anything other than the public benchmarks), but Jamba1.5 -- another hybrid SSM architecture -- did seem to do quite well on the LMSys leaderboards (which are admittedly these days not a super effective measure, but still feel less gameable than MMLU), so I'm moderately hopeful that this is a real architectural win and not just gamed benchmarks.
