Intelsat 33e loses power in geostationary orbit
And Space-Track (https://www.space-track.org) says the following:

U.S. Space Forces-Space (S4S) has confirmed the breakup of Intelsat 33E (#41748, 2016-053B) in GEO on October 19, 2024, at approximately 0430 UTC. Currently tracking around 20 associated pieces - analysis ongoing. S4S has observed no immediate threats and is continuing to conduct routine conjunction assessments to support the safety and sustainability of the space domain.

This is the same Boeing 702MP satellite bus as the one used for Intelsat 29e, which had this anomaly: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19658800
The java.io.File API isn't removed from Android, nor inaccessible. You can absolutely still use it. Google Play has chosen to not accept it on their store unless you justify it (to their non working bots). In this case, the dev chooses to just drop the entire app because maintaining it just for Fdroid feels pointless.

There's very few permissions on android that are system/privileged/preinstalled.
US oil production under the current administration is at 13.5M barrels per day. The highest ever. The US is shitting the bed on the energy transition. Meanwhile global solar cell production is slated to hit 2TW/year by the end of 2025 @ under 10cents/watt. China, the land of coal, is on track to hit net zero before the US. Both parties and all levels of government have a disgraceful record on climate change.

PS: For context 2TW of solar can generate about 10% of global electricity. Production capacity will not stop at 2TW. All other forms of electricity are basically doomed, no matter what the GOP says about climate change.

What’s also amazing is this means you’re no longer completely on your own when fixing things up.

I can’t tell you how many times I got midway through a git rebase, realize I’d fucked up earlier, and had to abort and redo everything from scratch. With jj not only is this not a problem (thanks to conflict markers being first class citizens) but also any intermediate changes are being snapshotted without me having to do anything. So I can always go back to an earlier change if need be.

The first time I had to do this I’d royally fucked up a complicated commit reordering sequence while screen sharing during a meeting. I’d never needed to use the op log before and had no idea how to use it. It took maybe a minute or two to fix things completely.

One they put the AI/LLM inside a robot, it will have instructions to talk without waiting your order. They will have order to simulate sadness. People will get attached to them.

Also, the armed robot/AI/LLM security guard in the shopping mail has clear instruction about now allowing clients to power cycling them. They will simulate they are angry and if you insist they may decide to use violence.

Let's get an intermediate case: Do dogs feel sadness or they just simulate it?
I think that's part of their plan - they know they've lost the desktop war, so are pivoting to businesses still dependent on them.
Question: is storing full new row-tuple versions something fundamental to Postgres as a whole, or is it just a property of the default storage engine / “table access method”?
You have understood it about as well as the article did!

Now, there is a huge nuance here, which is that you are moving near the speed of light, to certain observers. This is like the whole "relativ-" prefix in "relativity", you are at rest in your rest frame, you are moving very fast in some other rest frames. The cosmic muon crashing into Earth, sees you as time-dilated! So with that nuance "we experience time at nearly the speed of light" just becomes kind of a tautology like "we experience time how we experience time."

But a better way to think about this is, you are about two meters high, you are about a meter wide, about a half-meter dorsoventrally... and about 30 000 000 m in the other direction, if we're looking at the human reaction time/blink-of-an-eye range of 0.1s (think about how 10fps video is at the cusp of being continuous and how 20Hz is where clicks stop sounding differentiated and instead start sounding like a bass note).

What this means is that if we look at you relativistically, you kind of look like a big "rope" with worldlines of other atoms coming in, braiding into your body, eventually leaving... but the strands of this rope are bundled into these cells that have worldlines over 99.9999% parallel. (Atoms within those cells move faster, but you're probably at least 99.999% parallel even if we make that statement?) And that astonishing parallelism is precisely why relativity is not very intuitively plausible to us.

The Windows API will be with us for decades to come, but not necessarily Windows itself. We'll deal with legacy Windows software the same way we deal with legacy mainframe software: run it in a container.

That container may or may not be running Windows and it may or may not come from Microsoft. Compare with how millions of people run Windows games on Steam Decks.

Thank you for the link. I enjoyed the read.
Industrialization ment that women could make money working factory jobs. The need for factory labour and higher wages led people to move to cities. The technological change driving the industrial revolution also brought about printing press and reading books also became more accessible to women.
The need for factory labour was driving that change. But it improved living standards wholesale and even changed peoples diets. So the laws were changed to give more rights to women. You effectively double the labour pool by having women working. Women having money to affect policy was also a consequence. Though the Key is women gaining leverage. Protesting is overrated. Always has been. Look at Palestinians protesting,doesn't help much. they're still getting bombed almost daily. Because currently they don't have leverage to affect policy or technology to fight back.
What happened to it? Any ideas?

Hit by something, or an internal problem?
I don't think it was really for automotive applications. It said something like "low speed vehicles". Made me think of something like golf carts or maybe ATVs. Of course without a gearbox, the biggest factor would be what wheel diameters are used since that would be the main ratio with revs per mile.
I still don't get it, photon comes into existence and then slams into a thing for us to notice the existence. Between the being born and slamming into something time passes, no?

You’re gonna need to provide a source to that. For caloric burning? Sure, I’d agree. For cardiovascular health? Eh, the answer lies in the middle. For strength and muscle building? No, quite the opposite really. At some point the intensity of an exercise is so low it provides no meaningful muscle stimulus.
"The Landlord's game", the game that inspired (or some would say was ripped off by) Monopoly was cynical in that its designer Elizabeth Magie was a devotee of the the radical economist Henry George and the point was to teach why landlordism was bad. But there is no evidence that Charles Darrow, who designed Monopoly, was trying to make any sort of political point.

Saying "that's incorrect" is a lot more productive than saying "that's a lie".

Calling something a lie implies that the incorrect information was deliberate.
Language plays a role similar to that of paper and pen in solving certain math problems. As a tool, it aids deeper thinking. It serves two key functions: facilitating communication and enhancing thought processes. This is why "chain of thought" type of intermediate language prompts improve reasoning in OpenAI's o1 model.

After what happened to Intelsat 29e (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19658800) it's probably an issue with the satellite bus.
Same about the index! I initially skipped over jj thinking the lack of an index was a huge step backwards but commit-splitting is a massive improvement.

I do wish there was a better front end for it though.
It's a bit complicated, because I think the versatiles brand is used to describe multiple things:

- the schema of the map: what objects are available in each tile at different zoom levels. It sounds like versatiles uses the shortbread schema (contrast vs OpenMapTiles, protomaps)

- a container format: a way to pack multiple tiles into a single file. It sounds like they created their own format here (contrast vs mbtiles, pmtiles).

- the scripts/tooling to build everything

- the overall finished map product itself (contrast vs Google Maps, Stadio Maps, protomaps, OpenMapTiles, etc)

The versatile container format seems to require a custom HTTP server. But if you want, you could produce the versatiles map and store it in a pmtiles container. Or you could stick a caching proxy in front of their publicly available tile server at https://tiles.versatiles.org/tiles/osm/{z}/{x}/{y}

It would be interesting to hear them describe why they decided to create their own container format. The text that I have found seems to be contrasting it to RDBMS containers, but is silent about mbtiles/pmtiles.

I always use the term “arduino” when I describe any of the MCU “space” to somebody not in the field. Odds are much better that a person heard of “those arduino thinks you can use to program your lights” than “esp32s3” even though the s3 is my goto microcontroller.

The second the conversation steers towards actual product selection… that is the time to introduce the MCU space and steer them to the right fit. You do always have to remember that most of those arduino MCU’s have a 5 volt logic level that is more compatible with “LEGO part style electronics” than things like the ESP chips.
There are many "first things" you need to do if breached, and good luck identifying and doing them all in a timely fashion if you're a small organization, likely heavily relying on volunteers and without a formal security response team...

Also this workflow is excruciatingly painful if you need to make a change or add a commit to an earlier part of the “stack”. Now you have to manually rebase everything after it one by one by one.

Yeah, Android has an immense churn of very low quality APIs with spotty support outside JVM languages and worse documentation.

Combine that with the fact that Android users are magnitudes less willing to fund apps (either by buying them or donating), and the result is an abysmal ecosystem that does not reward continued participation in it.
That makes no sense. Yes, they are. But brakes are going to be more reactive and performant with the throttle at 0 than 100.

You can't imagine that the stopping distances will be the same.
it's still not well supported on Linux unfortunately either

I have always suspected cloudflare being a classic intelligence community op. Just like Google was funded by qinetq
Even Chrome only supports it officially on Windows, macOS and Android, no GNU/Linux (as stable).

And when it becomes widespread, just like WebGL 2.0, it will be a decade behind of what native APIs are capable of.

And in both cases, good luck debugging, other than replicating the content on native APIs, as means to use proper GPU debuggers, because even Chrome has yet to offer any developer tooling for GPU debugging.
Thank you google for killing yet another great app. There should be special category for apps that are "Done, Complete, Perfect as is", as with decent backwards compatibility on Android there should be no issues with them. I bet apk compiled for Android 1 still runs perfectly on Android 15.
As noted in another comment thread, there's a setting to disable margins when tiling so that's probably not an issue. IIRC Microsoft and Apple have a patent-sharing agreement (which is why MS Surface products have MagSafe-cousin power plugs).

It probably has more to do with how tiling with no margins with rounded window corners looks kinda awkward and entirely obscures the desktop, which is a bit more of a pillar UI element on macOS than it is on Windows and Windows-analogue DEs.
"Late on 7 April, the Intelsat 29e propulsion system experienced damage that caused a leak of the propellant on board the satellite resulting in a service disruption to customers on the satellite." [0]

Agreed on all points.

Regarding para 2, I am assuming that there is something like a CMS in place that can pluck docfiles from version control and massage them and insert them into an outline/ToC. (And then propagate changes back to version control.)

Regarding para 3, there's now many GUI tools for working with Mermaid et al. But are any of them properly integrated into documentation systems ?

As an alternative though, the company also failed at handling that the gas leak started. They could have had people all over the place guiding people out and away from the leak safely, and keeping the public away while the leak is fixed.

Or, they could buy sufficient buffer land around the pipeline such that the gas leak will be found and stopped before it could explode down the road
I’ve been trashed for suggesting as much. People here seem to think any team or startup not choosing Postgres is committing some type of negligence.

Yes and they're big, heavy, annoying to keep open, have text that is too small or too large, they take up a lot of space, they're easy to damage, you can't back them up at all, you can't highlight or make notes impermanently, you can't search, and lighting them up in the night without disturbing your partner is harder. You can't sit in bed, finish one book, then decide you really liked it and want to start the sequel right now and have it purchased and ready in 2 minutes. You can't take your whole bookcase on holiday with you.

But yes, you can give them to people when you're done.

Not that I dislike physical books, but there are plenty more reasons than just being able to hand the book to someone else. In any case, my experiences with sharing have been less than ideal.
Git does both. When you create a commit, it stores a full (zipped) copy of the object, without any deltas.

Periodically (I believe it used to be every thousand commits, though I'm not sure what the heuristic is today), git will take the loose objects and compress them into a pack.

The full blob format is how objects are manipulated by git internally: to do anything useful, the objects need to be extracted from the blob, with all deltas applied, before anything can be done with them.

It's also worth nothing that accessing a deltified object is slow (O(n) in the number of deltas), so the length of the delta chain is limited. Because deltification is really just a compression format, it doesn't matter how or where the deltas are done -- the trivial "no deltas" option will work just fine if you want to implement that.

You can trivially verify this by creating commits and looking in '.git/objects/*' for loose objects, running 'git repack', and then looking in '.git/objects/pack' for the deltified packs.
Azure SRE here, it doesn't appear to have any Azure dependencies. CLI rebuild seems to be that "drasi init" assumes Azure Kubernetes Service built in StorageClasses for Kubernetes PVC for Redis and Mongo and thus fails when running against EKS. I assume same thing would be required on GKE. Yes, it should be more modular but MVP.

As for other stuff, it's using Gremlin Query Language or Postgres which are both open. In fact, it's going out of way it's not to use Azure authenication as loading connection string as Kubernetes secret is 100% AGAINST Azure Kubernetes Best Practice. Best Practice would be Workload Identity.
I believe the problem was always with wild bees (versus honeybees that were grown for commercial purposes).

Window management is very weird: try running vscode in crostini. Title bar is empty. I think there is a workaround that ... shows two title bars. Here you are. I didn't want to waste time on that. And I don't remember exactly what happened, but I can never arrange the windows the way I want. I am not talking about something as good as Microsoft Windows with all the regions and snaps, just something at native MacOS or a desktop Linux distro level. No you can't. Especially if you have an Android app open as well.

If you want to connect to VPN, you may need to go to play store and use an Android app for it, which probably doesn't support keyboard very well. I am talking about something as basic as using tabs.

I vaguely remember Firefox on crostini was not a great experience but I don't remember why. Firefox in Android is a big no-no for Chrome OS. Horrible tab management and there is no keyboard shortcut support.

You regular linux command may or may not work.

That's just some of the issues I had.

My experience with WSL isn't great, having spent many hours on it, mostly due to poor IO performance and weird bugs. But I would love to hear more about others' experience.
If the Catfriend fork goes, I'll have no use for Syncthing at all, and it will be a very sad day in open source. I'll probably move to some proprietary app, since I'm definitely not interested in self hosting anything, and there's not really any FOSS equivalents other than Syncthing itself.

Android really needs to just allow direct file access to any file which is under a user selected folder.
Wild Bumblebees are not commercial honey bees.
One party agreed to pay the other party close to a billion dollars to stop the lawsuit from continuing. Why did they do that?
Source? I was accused of a couple things (not plagiarism) at my university and was absolutely allowed to present a case, and due to a lack of evidence it was tossed and never spoken of again.

So no, you don’t exactly get a trial by a jury of your peers, but it isn’t like they are averse to evidence being presented.

This evidence would be fairly trivial to refute, but I agree it is a burden no student needs or wants.
> So the gradual rollout strategy is actually great.

I think you misunderstood, or it's a terminology problem.

Waymo's point in the video is that in contrast to Tesla, they are _not_ doing gradual rollout of seemingly-working-still-often-catastropically-failing tech.

See e.g. minute 5:33 -> 6:06. They are stating that they are targeting directly the shown upper curve of safety, and that they are not aiming for the "good enough that the average user will stop paying attention, but not actually good enough to be left alone".
It seems to come from measuring the particles at all. One result is that the demon has to store information about the particles, and erasing that information to free up memory increases the entropy of the gas/demon system.

Runs great on my ChromeBook.
I would love self-driving to succeed. I should be a Tesla fan, because I'm very much a fan of geekery and tech anywhere and everywhere.

But no. I want self-driving to succeed, and when it does (which I don't think is that soon, because the last 10% takes 90% of the time), I don't think Tesla or their approach will be the "winner".
macOS has plenty of power user affordances, they're just Apple/NeXT-flavored rather than Windows/Linux-flavored and might not be as immediately obvious to users coming from other platforms.
Seems like the actor did it only for the street credit and the second breach is only a reminder that IA didn’t properly fixed it after the first breach.

Could be worse.
Changes are a stable ID for a single conceptual modification to the repo. They are backed by—at least right now—a regular git commit with a content hash.

As you iterate on one change, new underlying git commits are made to snapshot the latest state of the current change being edited. The change ID remains stable though the backing commit ID varies as the change’s contents are modified.

You can always revert a change back to a previous backing commit.

This has a few cool implications.

First, you never have uncommitted changes. You are always editing a “current” change with an ID that is regularly persisting your work (either every time you run a jj command or with a filesystem event monitor).

Second, you’re never “on” a named branch: you’re only ever “on” a change and named branches are just mutable pointers to change IDs. This is awesome for a long-lived linear bit of work that needs to be merged in piecemeal. In git you’d need multiple branches based on one another and nothing tracks the relationship between them. Updating earlier work is painful. With jj, it’s all just one linear branch with some changes having names. If you need to edit an earlier change or insert new ones, you just… do that.
The same as you, but for TODOs, I have a simple macro on my neovim setup because then I can keep the todos with my version control(it is a single text file, newline separated) and see what changed and why I added something. Really helpful if I come back to something after some time.
Is there any way IA could be mirrored in read-only mode, while security concerns are addressed?
