the backrooms is a meme named from a subset of it, named informally long ago.

"5" years old is when normies appropriated it, which explains your ignorance.
Not a single one of your arguments has been clear, and you haven't linked a single source about anything.
They aren't a business trying to maximize profit. The idea of being a non-profit is to invest in things that are important but not profitable. Should all non-profits drop everything that's ... not profitable?

> A lot of people wondered that

It seems pretty obvious why they would do it, and it has been widely admired. I hadn't heard comments like yours until the pile-on in on this page.
My father survived this. No brain damage. Lived a few more years, until 74. The heart wasn't pumping at normal rates because of damage. Do to hip problems (arthritis) also had problems walking. Eventually Developed a blood clot in a leg. Initially survived the blood clot. But the medication given to thin out the blood clot caused bleeding on his liver. Somehow the Hospital missed the bleeding until it was too late. The operating room was also busy (Canada), so no intervention could be performed. Wasn't allowed to see him because of covid rules. Possibly been able to advocate for him if I was in his room, and saw his worsening condition.

They can save your life in a hospital, but just as easily kill you by mistake or side effect of whatever intervention they are doing. Also, walking (or being able to walk) is very important for longevity.

But the speed of the first response of the cardiac arrest is what matters. Since the brain is without oxygen.
Assuming the person makes it to a hospital alive, they'll cool off the body to prevent brain damage.
For every minute you survive, your odds get better.
> Some of the other complaints like if you traceroute too much it might bog down the CPU on the routers seems just petty.

This part is actually important, not a petty thing. Not because we should care (much) about cpu usage on routers; packet routing is (or should be) 100% hardware offloaded and CPU usage doesn't matter for the main business of a router. But, it's important to be aware that sending ICMP reports is CPU limited and routers have limited CPU resources so there are limits on the reports that will be sent. Then you need to know that measured loss at one hop may indicate loss from that hop or a busy router.

There's probably many better ways to present this information, but if the point is to argue that when things don't work, the best thing to do is wait a week and let things sort themselves out... Well I don't like that either.

I favor those dramatic Gaspar Noe title drops, the title in huge red letters full screen, over characters naming the title. It's huge.

But then opensubtitles couldn't be used to analyse that.
I don't really see why cryptographicially locked bootloaders should be allowed at all outside of military applications.

These trusted computing systems represent a massive future political problem that remains too complex for the average voter to comprehend, let alone solve. It is a similar class of problems as net neutrality, except with dramatically greater impact.
That's impressive.

US tariffs keep BYD cars out for now. BYD doesn't really try to sell in the US. Just the rest of the world.

They couldn't be in the standard library.

Why not? Python does make breaking changes to the standard library when going from 3.X to 3.X+1 quite regularly.
According to Mark Warner Elon Musk should be on this list as well.

There is no way that is correct. What data are you using? [https://www.bls.gov/iif/fatal-injuries-tables/fatal-occupati...]

BLS is combining solder/brazing with welding. And has no concept of industrial vs fab, etc.
If you do not make a lot of money somewhere (Google ads, Tesla high valuation), it is very hard to have enough money to do the self-driving stuff. So production is important, because if you sell a lot of cars, you have cash flow for R&D.
How sad. Who will pickup the baton for the advocacy that Mozilla is abandoning, Internet Archive may have to forfeit ...

I've always found it funny how is Android being better at blocking Google requests than iOS is. You'd think Apple wouldn't be so willing to sell out their users for a sketchy default, but apparently a captive userbase doesn't have much say in the matter anyways.
> Some sort of study has been conducted indicating cash from strangers contributes to problems more than it helps and there are better solutions that the city itself, along with whatever charitable organizations are addressing this, are doing their best to provide.

What study?
What I find baffling is that Volkswagen has absolutely nothing to offer in the low price segment. We were lucky to get an eUp! when the price was reasonable, but after they stopped production there is a glaring hole in their portfolio, and of course the Chinese will try to fill that
I use Slack on Firefox for over 3 years now, without any issues. I've never seen any blocking attempt.
> But that data is reasonably only accessible by the people who instrumented that tracking

No way — the network itself is always listening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

I bet it's possible to map every single human's social connections given enough time to correlate their network activity, e.g. a message-send on your phone that causes a notification to be delivered to your friend's phone. No need to break TLS or do anything other than encourage people to make as many network connections as possible all the time, record the fact that a given IP address has sent or received data, and wait days/weeks/years for enough correlations to filter out from the unbelievable volume of noise.

TLS-all-the-things actually makes this problem worse because now every single connection has to leave my network to hit some “““trusted””” origin/Cloudflare/whatever server instead of just being cached at my gateway.
Calling it now: Safe for any potential major conflicts or crises creating full isolation and destroying all trade with China (e.g. a Taiwan escalation), traditional western vehicle makers are gonna get completely wrecked. Their shift to electric is far too slow and too far behind already. And it's also too late for another industry disrupting startup like Tesla.
Unfortunately the security by obscurity is backed up by "If a user exploits this, it's a crime and we just contact our legal team." I have seen this happen even in Sweden, local student 16 years old [1] figures out state has a big hole in their school system. He tells state about it and they do nothing so he tries to log in with the admin password he found in a file on his computer. They call the police.

Oh my gosh you are endlessly amusing.
Source? I've been using Slack through Firefox for years, and I remember only one issue - huddles didn't work at the beginning, but it was a minor one, since I use Zoom.
In this case, based on comments there, new server is not licensed anymore and not activated after the upgrade. Making this problem much worse, as options are either purchasing new licenses or reinstalling everything.

Edit: it's not clear to me how much responsibility lies with 3rd party update management tool and how much with Microsoft. This update doesn't seem to automatically run by itself, but it might be misclassified so that these tools think it's a security update and just deploy like any other patch.
Also, an owner - of a very limited amount. Junior partner, at best.
Cool.

I keep wondering if Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering will eventually borrow the camera and have Karen do some gouging, metal deposition, and/or MIG welding on stuff to show how fun it is. Also, the combination of liquid nitrogen and flame for interference fit parts is pretty cool too.
Here's what he said about it last month when interviewed by Joe Rogan:

> We put up billions of dollars for rich companies to come in and borrow the money and build chip companies here, and they’re not going to give us the good companies anyway.

and

> When I see us paying a lot of money to have people build chips, that’s not the way. You didn’t have to put up 10 cents, you could have done it with a series of tariffs. In other words, you tariff it so high that they will come and build their chip companies for nothing.

That really doesn't sound like it is something he'd just do some minor tweaks to and change the name like he did with NAFTA.

If he does go through with the large tariff approach, something to keep in mind is that usually when you impose tariffs on imports there are retaliatory tariffs imposed on your exports. The US chip making industry makes 82% of its sales from exports.
Konqueror is unfortunately not an option anymore when it comes to having an alternative to the big web engines, as it relies on Blink or WebKit now.
Hearing the actual frequency of data transfers to companies would probably make people much more aware of the constant data flow from their devices. And I think it would eventually start to scare me
Thank goodness all of our hype, investment and subsidies went to one man that doesn't even intend to create human jobs or sell cars to anyone the rich and supremely insecure. Sure was worth the entire free market going gaga for this tasty nothingburger, yesiree.
Women would be much better welders than men, because they don't wear their testicle outside close to the welding area, avoiding the most common welders desease, testicular cancer. In the European eastern block countries there are much more female welders.

Welders don't really like their plastic testicles.
Also, make sure that you never use the bike-lanes, only the walkways. This helps increasing your own safety by magnitudes!
Europe is already talking heavy tariffs to protect it's automakers, with Trump winning and his stance on the issue - doubtful they will let this happen.

Out of curiosity, do you have any source to refute Wikipedias' references about when the Backrooms, named as such and referring to the original image, actually came about? Or is Wikipedia too normie for such truths?
Why don't they describe their new system? I feel disappointed. :(
Seems plausible that Trump/Elon could make many imports from China effectively illegal.

This appears to be a simulation study done in 2d.

Similar results have been observed in 2d simulations for more than 20 years, no one had managed to translate them to application.

One of the problems is, that 2 d and 3d reaction-diffusion systems are very different when it comes to so-called topological charge conservation. One can show that interactions of the applied electrical field can be described by its influence on the topological charges.

In 2d these topological charges are limited to points in 3d they form curves.

Points are limited to drifting and colliding, lines can twist, self collide, form rings and so on making translating 1d results to 3d quite difficult.
The entire US auto industry is unwilling to deliver on a truly economic vehicle.
The "more crap per car" mindset is resulting in huge parking lots full of overpriced unsold cars. The "electric car is a premium product" mindset is obsolete, but continues to show up in US auto pricing.

Amusingly, the Ford Transit commercial van is cheaper in electric than in gas-powered.
But on the consumer product side, there's still a big price premium for electric, and you usually have to get an excessive 'trim level'.

Stellantis screwed up so badly that sales dropped about 40% and the CEO was fired, after collecting the biggest bonus in automotive history for "cutting costs". Betting on "mild hybrids" and extra post-sale fees was a disaster.

Nobody in US automotive is investing in solid state batteries the way BYD and CATL are.
There's technical risk, but if those things work, IC cars are over. 9 minute charge and a few hundred miles of range.

This kind of setup could reveal which blockers are best at keeping data
That might be your personal perspective, but the market's attention is on the AI aspect. Tesla's market cap is higher than that of any other western car company. And not because of their ability to mold metal.

In the future, a car without self-driving software will be as useless as a computer without an operating system. Hardware companies will be at the mercy of software companies. All the margins will be made in software. Hardware already has super thin margins nowadays.

Nokia didn't fail because of the way they made phone hardware.
GEICO is moving away from the cloud because their IT is a joke. They had a horrible on-prem infrastructure, so they moved to the cloud not knowing how, and they made the same mistakes in the cloud as on-prem, plus the usual mistakes every cloud migration runs into. They are moving away from the cloud because their new VP's entire career is focused on running her own hardware. What we know about their new setup is absolutely bonkers (like, K8s-on-OpenStack-on-K8s bonkers). Look to them for what not to do.

37signals is like the poster child for NIH syndrome. They keep touting cost savings as the reason for the move, but from what I have gathered, they basically did nothing to save cost in the cloud. It is trivial to save 75% off AWS's list price. They will even walk you through it, they literally want you to save money. That, plus using specific tech in specific ways, allows you to reap major benefits of modern designs while reducing cost more. 37signals didn't seem to want to go that route. But they do love to build their own things, so servers would be a natural thing for them to DIY.

Almost every argument against the cloud - cost inefficiency, fear of vendor lock-in, etc - has easy solutions that make the whole thing extremely cost competitive, if not a way better value, than trying to become your own cloud hosting provider. It's very hard to estimate the real world costs, both known and unknown, of DIY hosting (specifically the expertise, or lack of it, and the impacts from doing it wrong, which is very likely to happen if cloud hosting isn't your core business). But it's a 100% guarantee that you will never do it better than AWS.

AI is the only place I could reasonably imagine somebody having an on-prem advantage. At the moment, we still live in a world where that hardware isn't a commodity in the way every other server is. So you might just be faster to deploy, or cheaper to buy, with AI gear. Storage is similar but not nearly as tight a market. But that will change eventually once either the hype bubble bursts, or there's more gear for cheaper for the cloud providers to sell.
You expect Tesla to run out of money before they start making money from self driving software?
There are too many variables involved in these outcomes to make such a comment.

Thanks for the party line, backed by the usual flaggers. This is how Python maintains its market share and popularity. Google though does not seem too impressed by Python any longer. Others will follow.
Some comments here point at impossibility results, but after screening hundreds of job applications at work, it's not hard to pick out the LLM writing, even without watermark. My internal LLM detector is now so sensitive that I can tell when my confirmed-human colleagues used an LLM to rephrase something when it's longer than just one sentence. The writing style is just so different.

Maybe if you prompt it right, it can do a better job of masking itself, but people don't seem to do that.
You are technically correct, but one shouldn't have to be In The Know to avoid this stuff. Computers should not be privacy-adversarial by default.

This is the same mindset that shames people for their “unhealthy food choices” when the most widely available, widely affordable, and widely advertised food is sugary corn slop.

Please use PPE. My dad and grandfather were both mechanics (not welders, but adjacent) and both contracted very similar bladder cancers most likely from skin exposure to a particular solvent bath chemical.

There is no reward for macho or risky behavior, only a painful/miserable death and shorter life, and less time with family. So many male members of my mom's extended family died early from tobacco use and from industrial and agricultural hazards.

That means breathing fumes, unknown substances, or fine dust without a respirator (or smoking), not using gloves while handling chemicals/coatings/etc., or putting oneself in mechanically risky situations.

TL;DR: Just use PPE.

They cost money, they're a hassle, they're not fashionable, their benefit isn't immediately obvious but so is a seatbelt until there's a known problem like DDT, asbestos, tetraethyllead lead, dirt particulates, or fiberglass.
That's just a thing that needs to be renegotiated - highly doubt these two are getting into a patent war given the state of x86. Unless Intel gets acquired by a litigious company to go after AMD :shrug:
For some of us this is not unexpected at all. But the margin and the likely win of the popular vote should send a clear message.

I'm not sure self-driving is that important in most of the markets BYD will expand into: Mexico, Central and South America, Asia, and where allowed in Europe.

I don't think Tesla or any other manufacturers have anything to worry about in the US, Canada, and some EU countries since it will be impossible for BYD to sell cars into those markets profitably.
Each format has its strengths
Yeah, supporting anecdote: only thing I got for trying to negociate my salary and benefits last time I tried, was my contract started over a month later so I technically lost that much pay, with zero changes to my contract. It just doesn't feel worth trying. Sure, you can blame me for poor negotiation skills maybe, or for not walking away from this job but contrast that to my partner's salary doubling without having to even ask... So it deeply irritates me when people say women don't get things because they don't ask. It is just a catch 22 situation.
From what I gather the one time I got to speak with chip engineers is that real estate is still at a premium. Not necessarily the total size of the chip, but certain things need to be packed close together to meet the timing requirements. I think that means that you'd be paying a serious penalty to have two parallel sets of decoders for different ISAs.
I suspect the engineers at traditional automakers HATE electric vehicles and this is likely causing massive delays. The vast vast majority of those engineers and other technical folks have careers which are are utterly dependent on ICE development and support.

This sort of transformative shift rarely happens from within. At least not easily.
I guess this is the downside of making a data analysis thing as a side project to hopefully get something going, but not having the time to take care of all potential edge cases.

I guess "Them!" is also affected by this, and maybe The Thing or The Birds...

That ignores the rest of the world though.

Yes, the USA, South Korea, Japan, and Western Europe can protect their own markets, but the world is huge and China can easily dominate EVs everywhere else.

Beware that the author is comparing an additional capacity (of BYD, estimated as 2.4M/yr) against a production (of Tesla, estimated as 1.8M/yr, while the capacity is nearly 3M/yr). Nitpicking, I know, but numbers are meaningless without the proper "unit of measure".
