Kinda checks out?

Anyone who's ever used traceroute knows that quite a few routers won't reply. It's still the best available tool to figure out a bunch of problems.
No, but it's actually worse than that.

Not only is it contingent on your intermediaries actually responding to your packet with the diagnostic information you want, it assumes that the diagnostic response will also be able to get back to you. If, for instance, your links are failing over super frequently or you have something hilarious happen like the response packet ALSO having a too-low TTL, you may not get a response as you expect.

But wait, there's more! Precisely because of that stepping-increase of TTL, by necessity, it must send as many TTLs as necessary to reach the endpoint. That means one packet per TTL. Remember what I said about links flapping? There is no guarantee that any two packets will or even should go the same route, for any number of reasons, some potentially even legitimate. In some situations you may see different hops between hosts that aren't actually even physically connected!

And I love MTR, but it can handle some of these issues really... interestingly. I seem to semi-regularly see it in a state where it's showing a bunch of packet drops, but really I just have to refresh the display because some state or another got desynchronized.

That said, on simple paths that don't change a whole lot, it's great. A very clever way to expose information you might not otherwise ordinarily have that might even be key to resolving any given issue. You just have to remember just how surprisingly much of networking is made up.
And even then, wasn't it just one guy (who's long gone)?
The punishment should be unwinding of all of those 'contracts', with Tiketmaster taking the loss if the tickets sold under these terms have already been used.

Demo of the Bosch FGS-4000
Nice! Back in the day I provided remote support and occasionally ran trace to diagnose data transfer issues. The few times there was a problem with a hop, there wasn’t anything that could be done. But each time I was able to find either a news article on inclement weather or a post on the ISP website about a network issue. Worked with a guy that spotted a car wreck from trace. Well, it was down the street and so was the trunk cnx.
How are those different?

If packets of media_property_A are prioritized over media_property_B, which is slower and then is there equal time division on the line?

Getting 50k Companies on Board with Clojure
That's a heartwarming narrative that bears no resemblance to observed reality. Frequently these positions are either totally uncontested or a straight party line vote by individuals who have literally no idea who or what they're voting for beyond party affiliation. What actually happens: council ignores the shit out of the noise coming from individuals that don't actually fund their campaigns, their affiliated party, or both. Entire projects are reframed as notionally beneficial to the community at large, citing some combination of bullshit claims about economic benefits and inclusivity, something something gentrification bad, etc, and the larger voting populace shrugs and goes on with their day oblivious. Worst case scenario a seat or two get sacrificed and the party apparatus advances another foot soldier to fill in the now vacated seat, with identical results.

50k is not a lot for even a mid sized college or university.

The very small college I work for (enrollment under 1200) just spent 250k on two robotics classrooms.

A school with any engineering program at all will spend this amount of money on something like this with very little hesitation.

And even if they won't spend hard dollars, every institution employees people to write grants (that's what I do). The amount of public and private grants in the STEM field for higher education is mind boggling. I can think of 4 businesses that would write this check next week after the application is submitted. Hell, I can think of one business that would probably write the check tomorrow after a quick phone call.

I think the only tech people who hate them are the ones who think that Oracle is a database company ala Postgres and then wonder why it is worth billions of dollars. Most of their current revenue for now comes from their fusion ERP suite that runs in the cloud. Those products have a lot of stickiness as businesses don’t switch ERP systems often.

> Multitenant instances on AWS statically partition the hardware (CPU, RAM, network), so tenants don't really share all that much.

You are missing several points:

First, density. Cloud providers have huge machines that can run lots of VMs, and AWS in particular uses hardware (”Nitro”) for hypervisor functionality so they have very low overhead.

Cloud providers also don’t do “hardware” partitioning for many instance types. AWS sells “VCPUs” as the capacity unit; this is not necessarily a core, it may be time on a core.

Cloud providers can also over-provision; like airlines can sell more seats than exist on a plane, cloud providers can sell more VCPUs than cores on a machine, assuming (correctly) that the vast majority of instances will be idle most of the time, and they can manage noisy neighbors via live migration.

And lots of other more esoteric stuff.

here we go again. more likely it will fall back down than keep going up, if recent history is any guide.
A consequence of monopolization is that produced products drift far away from actual market demands. I believe most of what you propose to fix is actually caused by this mechanism.

Hardware consoles suck because three (count 'em!) companies make them. They sell them at a loss even because monopolizing the sales and distribution and development channel is profitable enough to make up for this. If you want better consoles you need more companies making them in a market place they cannot fully control.
Just a note, the average tuition for universities in the US is somewhere around 26k usually. And when you look at just public universities, it's something like 14k on average.

But the point still stands, I think. We're talking about 2 or 3 students to be able to fund this.

> And frequently these antiquated practices are carried to the cloud, negating any benefit.

I should have brought that up too. Airlifting your stuff to the cloud and expecting cloud to run like your data center is a way to set yourself up for disappointment and expense. The cloud is something very different than your on-premise datacenter and many things that make sense on prem, do not make sense in cloud.

That's not my experience unless LLM providers are caching results. It's frustratingly difficult to get it to output substantially different text for a given prompt. It's like internally it always follows mostly the same reasoning for step 1, then step 2 applies light fudging of the output to give the appearance of randomness, but the underlying structure is generally the same. That's why there's so much blog spam that all pretty much read the same, but while one "delves" into a topic another "dives" into it.

How long until they can write genuinely unique output without piles of additional prompting?
Including “It” on the list made it seem like a parody.
I used to think that way, but I've recently gone though a series of personal experiences that led me learning a lot more about mental health,and tangentially, addiction, which encompasses a lot more than just drugs.

The book which shaped my thinking the most was In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by the Canadian physician Gabor Maté, who spent years working as the house doctor in housing for addicts. It's a hard book to read, one of the most difficult books I've ever gone through. But if you genuinely think that giving an addict temporary access to their addictive substance is enabling them, I suggest you read it and challenge that perception.

Also, one important thing you will note reading this book is that even the people actively working with addicts will often help them by directly giving them drugs (especially methadone) or even money for drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. Because often, that is a step on the path to recovery, or at least, the path to getting though just one more day.

> Energy reduction in defibrillation devices is an active area of research. While defibrillators are often successful at ending dangerous arrhythmias in patients, they are painful and cause damage to the cardiac tissue.

Hey, author of the article here! I actually wrote one last year on a ton of Blaze exploits I've found, but didn't end up releasing it. It uses a proprietary format now, and it seems they were very comfortable with security through obscurity by assuming no one would figure out how to interface with it. Hopefully I'll get back around to that post one day, there's some fun stuff to say the least.
you are not answering my question. i understand "risk". but what does it mean when someone says "on your own risk"? in this context lets say?

if you sign up for dental extraction and you die, didn't you do that on your own risk? or is the doctor responsible in this case? that he/she didn't do their job properly and now they must pay but if the doctor says "on your own risk", that suddenly they are redeemed?
My theory of politics is that it runs in cycles. Each cycle sees a reversal of roles whereby the oppressors become comfortable and thus become kinder and fairer... At this point they are taken advantage of by the previously oppressed class. Hence the oppressed become the oppressors and the cycle repeats. This is a similar idea as the fourth turning "Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times." But it also works if you substitute the word 'weak' with words such as 'kind', 'fair' or 'just'.

I think this explains why humanity has repeatedly failed to achieve anything close to universal justice; every time the oppressed rise up, they do so vengefully and unjustly; and they create new future enemies for themselves.

The worst aspect of this is that there seems to be a subset of oppressors who manage to retain power through multiple cycles and they often achieve this by being particularly greedy, ruthless or deceitful. But who knows, maybe they're just operating on a longer cycle? The past has a way of catching up.

We should try hard to identify and correct injustices that we may be unwittingly perpetrating onto others as it creates hidden enemies. These are the worst kinds of enemies because you may view them as your friends. You may not realize their true disposition until they've backstabbed you.

It's easy to radicalize an oppressed person. You just need to give them a compelling narrative which explains how they've been oppressed. Oppressed people are often desperate for narratives to explain the multitude of negative internal feelings that they and/or their ancestors have accumulated as a result of decades or centuries of oppression.
After WWII, it was imperative that the US support free trade, especially if it meant taking a loss- all of their allies had had their industrial bases bombed out. Pressing the advantage forever would have been churlish, shortsighted, and disastrous for anti-Communism. So we have this very necessary, but outdated, free trade at all costs intellectual superstructure that we're still stuck in. Probably in another 20 years we'll be out of that, when the last of the old guard retires.

So I want to clarify that I don't think you're wrong, I just think that that's like saying + is a ternary operator because of course x +^{n} y, which is x plus y n times, and therefore equal to x + (n × y), has three symbols that are related by the terms.

When I called this out you started talking now about something a bit different, partial derivatives, which accept two integer indices and not just one. But behold, the symmetrical version of +^n is +^{m, n}, such that

x +^{m,n} y = m x + n y.

It’s not that any of this is wrong, ya dig? Just that we're counting to three to feel satisfied when there isn't much satisfaction to be gained.

Hmmm. I was just looking this over a couple of days ago.

Worth researching perhaps, lower power is much safer for a lot of other parts of the body, but is there reason to believe that this is correct? Are these models really that good?
It's even worse. The educated tech industry workers don't actually make any banter, so any time their prejudices slip through, it's just their actual opinions instead of banter. It's a very bizarre opposite to the supposedly 'uneducated' blue collar way of doing things, which brings levity as a first-class citizen, and communicates boundaries well.

You don't even need to be inappropriate to have workplace banter. Nobody ever said that a light environment has to be built on jokes that bust chops. In fact, busting chops kind of blows. There's plenty of room for clowning around outside of that, and plenty of ways to build camaraderie, too. You don't have to bring racism or sexism to the table to have a good time, and you don't have to have a good time at someone else's expense.

Man, I'm really sick of the robotic culture of tech. It's such a stuffy bummer. We should be making more skeleton jokes and showing each other macaroni art pictures.

Did you stop reading somewhere in the middle? I cannot fathom how else you could miss the point so completely.

The point is not about technological similarities at all. It's about who controls the hardware and thus ultimately has the power over its use.

"The mainframe" which the author is talking about is not characterized by COBOL, but by having huge corporations control the hardware which everyone is using in their daily lives, giving them power over everyone.
A job for advocacy division is to, uhm, advocate for the product and mission.

Less than low energy antitachycardia pacing (LEAP), which is itself a lower-energy alternative to the typical 1-shock defibrillation. Their "1000 times less" means three orders of magnitude. From the abstract of the paper:

We find that, rather counter-intuitively, a single, properly timed, biphasic pulse can be more effective in defibrillating the tissue than low energy antitachycardia pacing (LEAP), which employs a sequence of such pulses, succeeding where the latter approach fails. Furthermore, we show that, with the help of adjoint optimization, it is possible to reduce the energy required for defibrillation even further, making it three orders of magnitude lower than that required by LEAP

Important to note that the study uses:

"an electrophysiological computer model of the heart's electrical circuits "

and

"a simple two-dimensional model of cardiac tissue"

Beware the number of evaluation dragons!

1 < x < 5 is not just syntactic sugar for 1 < x and x < 5.

Every lisp macro programmer knows that x must be evaluated only once, so it needs to be gensym'ed. Only if x is a constant or evaluates to itself it can be optimized without a gensym.

The bizarre economics of American higher ed aside, I'm thinking outside the US – and countries in the global north – as well. A flagship institution in a middle or even low-income country might be able to afford a system like that, too, even if it involves going to the EU for development funds.
