As others have already hit upon, the problem forever lies in standardization of whatever is intended to replace TCP in the data center, or the lack thereof. You’re basically looking for a protocol supported in hardware from endpoint to endpoint, including in firewalls, switches, routers, load balancers, traffic shapers, proxies, etcetera - a very tall order indeed. Then, to add to that very expensive list of criteria, you also need the talent to support it - engineers who know it just as thoroughly as the traditional TCP/IP stack and ethernet frames, but now with the added specialty of data center tuning. Then you also need the software to support and understand it, which is up to each vendor and out of your control - unless you wrap/encapsulate it in TCP/IP anyway, in which case there goes all the nifty features you wanted in such a standard.

By the time all of the proverbial planets align, all but the most niche or cutting edge customer is looking at a project the total cost of which could fund 400G endpoint bandwidth with the associated backhaul and infrastructure to support it - twice over. It’s the problem of diminishing returns against the problem of entrenchment: nobody is saying modern TCP is great for the kinds of datacenter workloads we’re building today, but the cost of solving those problems is prohibitively expensive for all but the most entrenched public cloud providers out there, and they’re not likely to “share their work” as it were. Even if they do (e.g., Google with QUIC), the broad vibe I get is that folks aren’t likely to trust those offerings as lacking in ulterior motives.
I also read the language tutorial first. But if they don't explain their best practices (and often the explanation is simple), I don't care much for them.
It would be really neat for 3D printing and scanning. However, I don't think it'll work with functional prints given dimensional accuracy is important. photogrammetry still has a 1-up on this I believe.
November 1861: Chalmers' under Channel railway
Despite the headline CBS gave the article, it seems the problem is not with happiness, but with the seductive appeal of materialism and the effects of exposing one culture to another.

Social comparison theory is the idea that our satisfaction with what we have isn't an objective measure, but is actually based on what we see other people have. Young people generally seem to have an innate desire to leave their hometowns and seek out what else might be waiting out there for them. When you add in globalization and media influence exposing them to what looks like a "better" life with more things, it's not surprising that they've seen ~9% of young people leave Bhutan.

The other question is, what will happen if Bhutan does increase their financial wealth as well as their happiness? Will they then see a net influx of people through immigration, looking for the lifestyle Bhutan promises? And will those new people be able to maintain the culture Bhutan has cultivated?

It sounds like the concept of Gross National Happiness is a successful one, on its own, but it brings new challenges that couldn't have been forseen originally. That doesn't mean they can't solve them without giving up their core values.
As a person with Hashimoto's and struggle with Hashi flares that last a few weeks at a time, I've been working on a PWA that helps me track various things. It is "modular" and lets you track anything you want, so mine is set up to track medicine, food/diet, stress level, exercise, and I can export the text-log and email it to whoever I want.

I was daily driving it for a few weeks just to see if I wanted to do anything with it, but a flair up and life got in the way.

I have no real plan to release it, but I might add the PWA to github and maybe let other's actually run with it.
i use it, it is compatible with www.

www runs on servers and is available over http

solid runs on servers and is available over http

the best metaphor is, you know when you log into another application using facebook? that’s all over http, or www (not a real protocol, but a paradigm for indicating http compatibility of a server)

solid is exactly like that, but not everyone is there yet, so it feels broken, when really it is just lonely.
The issue I found with Fusion360 is that I don’t own my files. You used to be able to export locally but last I used it (a few years ago now) I was unable to export a file in a native fusion format with saving to the Autodesk cloud being my only option. This is hazardous as not only am I now at the mercy of Autodesk but they also expire files after just under a year so in need to ensure I’m logging into my account regularly just to keep some things that could happily live on a local disk.
Maybe the "free stuff" is not there. My country has a free healthcare, but every month I have to pay hundreds on mandatory insurance. I do not even have a GP or dentist, non are taking on new patients!
It's more likely that you're not remembering your dreams. When I kept a dream journal, it became clear how easy it is to forget them. If I woke up in the middle of one, the longer I waited before I wrote it down, the harder it was to remember. It was also harder to remember further back into what dream I was recalling, as well as dreams preceding it. The next day, I would read them and have no recollection of much of the contents that I had written that night before. If I hadn't written them down, I'd be totally unaware they were even occuring.

I believe most of the dreams we remember are only because 1) we wake up midway within them and 2) their content happens to be somehow memorable. For part one, this can actually indicate poor quality sleep. Periodic nighttime alertness is a great way to remember more dreams. You may currently be experiencing better quality sleep than you used to.
Unless I'm mistaken, a big reason we don't have smaller cars in the US (other than consumer demand) is related to safety regulations rather than fuel economy laws.

> would you want to be making major investments in ICE car production right now?

I would if I were a car manufacturer, at least in addition to other projects that I may have investing in alternative fuels. I haven't dug deeply into all the issues VW is dealing with today, but it does seem at least in part due to an over investment in electric vehicles.

If I were really in that situation, though, I'd personally be investing heavily in designs more similar to the Chevy Volt with an electric drivetrain and onboard gas generator. Range anxiety goes away without having to pack a massive battery pack in the car, and the gas engine is much less stressed meaning easier maintenance and a longer life.

When I was in college (some 20 years ago) I rolled my eyes every time I heard some old timer wag his finger and recount of sometime some new hire managed to destroy days/weeks/months of work by running rm -rf.

And then, one day, at work I was advising a junior engineer. He were having issues with a software build process that he was tasked with documenting. I explained what went wrong, what he can do to correct for that, and to try again.
He said okay and while I stood there, looking over his shoulder, typed rm -rf . and hit enter faster than I could shout "NO!".

I just stood there and laughed for a good 5 minutes before I was able to catch my breath and explained to him why his machine was unresponsive.
Disclosure: I work for FusionAuth.

When we implemented passkeys a few years ago[0], we chose to implement them as a purely secondary authentication method. So you had to have an account, then you added a passkey.

So you have the normal account recovery process if you need it, while you get the advantage of passkeys for improved, faster regular login.

That's obviously a tradeoff.

I wrote up a bit about this issue[1] last year but I think there's been some progress on standardizing backups of software passkey private keys[2]. The idea of syncing around a private key, no matter how protected it is, still makes me a bit queasy (as it seems you are) but I understand the motivation.

From the article:

While it's an odd example for this place, I can bring up self-loading firearms (semi-automatic or automatic in today's terms) as a demonstration. Modern self-loading firearms are VASTLY simpler than the early attempts a century ago. They're an excellent example of engineering evolving under economic pressures.

Late 19th and early 20th century attempts at self-loading firearms were often ridiculous in their concepts; huge component counts, lots of tiny mechanisms, strange attempts at extracting recoil and gas energy, everything under the sun. The mechanisms engineers were crafting in literal garage workshops are stunning in their variety and staggering in their watch-like complexity. Some were genuine works of art.

Then the M1 Garand, the SVT-40, and afterwards the AK (under the economic pressures of WW2) demonstrated how much room there was to simplify and give various components double duties. Now, most modern automatic weapons derive from those designs, and the improvements since have been in the materials engineering: Stronger, lighter, thinner, and generally reducing the amount of steel to the minimum necessary.
seems like that's been the trend -- a lot of those set up around here, it seems. like, I can think of three off the top of my head, and I don't recall seeing em 3+ years ago.

> Now this is, I say deliberately, the only defect in the greatness of Mr. Shaw, the only answer to his claim to be a great man, that he is not easily pleased. He is an almost solitary exception to the general and essential maxim, that little things please great minds. And from this absence of that most uproarious of all things, humility, comes incidentally the peculiar insistence on the Superman. After belabouring a great many people for a great many years for being unprogressive, Mr. Shaw has discovered, with characteristic sense, that it is very doubtful whether any existing human being with two legs can be progressive at all. Having come to doubt whether humanity can be combined with progress, most people, easily pleased, would have elected to abandon progress and remain with humanity. Mr. Shaw, not being easily pleased, decides to throw over humanity with all its limitations and go in for progress for its own sake. If man, as we know him, is incapable of the philosophy of progress, Mr. Shaw asks, not for a new kind of philosophy, but for a new kind of man. It is rather as if a nurse had tried a rather bitter food for some years on a baby, and on discovering that it was not suitable, should not throw away the food and ask for a new food, but throw the baby out of window, and ask for a new baby. Mr. Shaw cannot understand that the thing which is valuable and lovable in our eyes is man—the old beer-drinking, creed-making, fighting, failing, sensual, respectable man. And the things that have been founded on this creature immortally remain; the things that have been founded on the fancy of the Superman have died with the dying civilizations which alone have given them birth. When Christ at a symbolic moment was establishing His great society, He chose for its corner-stone neither the brilliant Paul nor the mystic John, but a shuffler, a snob a coward—in a word, a man. And upon this rock He has built His Church, and the gates of Hell have not prevailed against it. All the empires and the kingdoms have failed, because of this inherent and continual weakness, that they were founded by strong men and upon strong men. But this one thing, the historic Christian Church, was founded on a weak man, and for that reason it is indestructible. For no chain is stronger than its weakest link.

Zoo and openSCAD both create 3D objects using code in a domain specific language. Other than that, very different. OpenSCAD has limited ambitions; Zoo wants to kill Autodesk.

Zoo is building a commercial grade product suite from first principles. They're writing a new geometry kernel and optimizing it for GPUs. They wrote a new domain specific language for CAD [0]. They're running the kernel on the cloud behind an API, streaming video to the client and billing by the server-minute. Ideally that will deliver great performance and keep the tool accessible to casual users.

The really exciting thing, for me anyway, is they want to unify design-by-code, design-by-mouse, and design-by-ai. Start with a plain language description of what you want. Get a fully parametric object on your screen. Click around making adjustments. Pull up the code and make precise changes. Keep a complete changelog in git.

Anyway, much more detail here: https://zoo.dev/blog/mechanical-cad-yesterday-today-and-tomo...

I doubt that becoming another "developing economy" where you have to spend 8-10 hours a day working in a call center would increase happiness.
While residencies have existed since well before Medicare was passed, they were mostly something elites pursued. Overall, residency wasn't an absolutely necessary practice until the mid-late 20th century. By the 70s, with the tailwind of the baby boom, the practice became normalized.

Our demographic makeup means we have more elderly in need of care and fewer to care for them, which means we will need to revert our requirements. The UK is already discussing/planning-for this in their healthcare system: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/nurses-doctors-deg...

I understand that it's scary that care quality may be lower, but that argument is similar to demanding that every road worker and civil engineer have a PhD. Our bridges and roads would likely be better if all participants were so educated and qualified, at least for the horrifically expensive and few roads/bridges we would be able to build.

The official language of Bhutan seems to be Dzongkha. Now there's a pub quiz question not many people will be able to answer, I suspect.

People being forced to work in call centres, speaking a foreign language, sounds like a kind of neocolonialism and hardly a recipe for happiness.
> Light cars are usually more efficient.

That's true, but US fuel economy standards don't actually require vehicles to be more fuel efficient in a direct way. They require vehicles to be a certain fuel efficiency for their footprint.

Unintuitively, while making a car larger doesn't make it more fuel efficient, it might make it better meet US fuel economy standards.
> something far more valuable than the CAPTCHA system itsel

In terms of CAPTCHAs being valuable – the other day I couldn’t for the life of me solve a captcha. It was one of those “Solve the implicit question in the picture” kind where it can be hard to tell what it’s even asking you to do.

So I took a screenshot and put it in chatgpt. Got it right immediately.

The real detection mechanism is that you’re moving your mouse, thinking, and generally being slower than a bot anyway. The captcha itself is just a pointless annoyance.
It's never been illegal to produce small cars in the US. It's a tragedy of the commons that the more over-sized cars on the road the more intimidated the average driver and the more compensation in the sizes of other cars to "keep up". Over-sized SUVs and trucks aren't penalized enough for their domination and essentially destruction of the commons space.

That's also what fuels some of the demand for high-margin cars, because of the perverse incentive that over-sized delivers higher margins. People will be too easily convinced to pay extra (generally at linear relationship) for size and there's not a linear relationship in size versus margins.

This short epilogue struck me.

This past Yom Kippur, my wife and I drove two hours to spend the afternoon at my aunt’s house, with my cousins. As the night drew on, conversation roamed from television shows and books to politics and philosophy. The circle grew as we touched on increasingly sensitive and challenging topics, drawing us in.

We didn’t agree, per se. We were engaging in debate as often as we were engaging in conversation. But we all love each other deeply, and the amount of care and restraint that went into how each person expressed their disagreement was palpable.
Yeah. Which is wild to me because Biden was center/center right. It's not like one has to hide it the past four years. And most online platforms will still be moderated for the next little while.

This is a low-quality article. Reading between the lines, it looks like Google flagged up sequential searches for "pressure cooker" and "backpack", which were the basics of the Boston Marathon bomber's explosive a few years ago. That might be overreach by Google or some law enforcement, but the article doesn't delve into that. Instead, it conflates queries that can lead to running malware on Windows PC, and visits by police based on search engine queries.

The solutions given to this never-quite-named problem are sort of generic, "use a VPN", "don't click on ads", "use incognito mode". The article implies that end users are the category of people who need to take action to protect themselves, but doesn't specify who are the aggressors from which protection is needed. Malware just exists out there, like weeds in cracks in your driveway, and end up growing in your computer, just like weeds propagate to your lawn. SEO and bad faith malware spreading ads happen, there's nothing that Google adtech can do to sort out a mess their lax/nonexistent standards for advertisers has caused. Police departments are a force of nature, be careful what you search for, just like taking a raincoat on those days a storm is predicted.
Swatting is something new (popularized by the Internet, made possible by military surpluss gear sold police wanting to larp in tacticool shit) but stupid pranks with deadly consequences are not.
> how do you protect people from themselves

Education.
It'd be nice to see stories about a western navy or two getting off its butt, and actually trying to discourage "accidents" which damage critical infrastructure.
There are at least 30 countries that would apply the death sentence for that.
Maybe their strategy will pan out, but generally any economy which critically depends on a restless and despondent class of basically slave labor (and, in some cases, actual slave labor) isn't going to sustain itself. As they said in Silicon Valley (the HBO show) like 8 years ago: "There's no New Bangladesh; there's just Bangladesh."; China's population wants upward social mobility in a way that's basically just westernization. On the flip side, they have a government that wants the economic benefits of a cheap labor pool, they want to be a cheap western manufacturing destination, and they have the surveillance and police state to push the issue further than western democracies would; a scary combo.

The other unrelated point I try to impress on people: You can assert that China's lead in manufacturing solar panels, batteries, etc is indicative that they're "ahead" of us, or whatever. You sure? I don't know what job you have right now, but the US was a destination for high tech manufacturing many decades ago. We largely moved past that. We make poorer countries do that for us now. How is it desirable that America become better at, I don't know, mining lithium? Are those jobs that we want our population to have? Versus what are clearly higher-margin email jobs? China manufacturing solar panels to sell us is our benefit, their expense; their economy is built on attaching a 2% margin on physical goods, ours is attaching a 200% margin on services, software, and financialization we build on top of those physical goods. Every economist on the planet would agree, you want to live in the second one. Lithium mines suck. Assembly lines suck.

But even looking beyond that: The US has an unemployment rate of like 3% right now. You can open the world's biggest solar factory out in Iowa; good luck finding workers to staff it. The US is not "behind" on manufacturing; we LEFT it behind, for good reason.

> Do you think if that dam breaks, US auto makers come back to planet Earth instead of chasing what seems to be exclusively high-margin cars only affordable by credit?

It doesn't seem to me like the problems that the automotive world are going to face over the next five years will be isolated to US manufacturers; its going to be global. Its going to get harder to financially-engineer your way to higher margins and revenue. That means prices need to come down. But, prices are higher because consumers want these nicer cars, nicer materials, there's a lot of cost in mandated safety features and safety engineering as well, not to mention all the export controls and tariffs Trump is threatening. So, how do they get cost down? That's the challenge.
Even as a sighted person, "look at" is often metamorphic - you can interview an expert over the phone and say you looked into the subject even though the only looking was around the phone number.
