Which would last how long in a conflict? You obviously can have mobile reactors, it's called a modern submarine or an aircraft carrier for a start, but a fleet of mobile reactors scooting ahead of incoming attacks providing power and moving off is pure science fiction and completely impractical.

It also weighs over 20,000 tonnes so that's a big old truck you'll need. Even a submarine reactor, the tiniest and most compact type ever made, running on essentially weapons-grade highly-enriched fuel, are around 100 tonnes just for the reactor itself, which is far from the only bit you need to generate power.

That link is about ink in the MFC models and is a good reason to not buy Brother inkjets if they're going to do that.

However, I've not had any issue with third party toner in my Brother DCP colour laser printer and haven't heard of any such issues.

Perhaps similarly to how ransom notes would be written with letters from newspapers.
The canonical article on the matter: https://www.theverge.com/23642073/best-printer-2023-brother-...

The version with no scanner that they recommend is about 100 euro (I think that precise version is now discontinued, but its successor, the Brother-HL-L2400DW, is also about 100 euro).
Simpler translation would be that the entire decision, including all of the arguments that led to it, will be published in said gazette.

Still "we'll tell you later", but a little easier to parse than the ML.
What's the quality of color prints on current lasers? Last time I checked it was quite below inkjets. Not that I would recommend inkjet to anyone, they're unusable in home setting where you have long periods of time without printing.
Oh! My edit didn't go through. I had tried to change "the article" to "the article at https://on.ft.com/41jw5ZY".
> While engineers report being dramatically more productive with AI, the actual software we use daily doesn’t seem like it’s getting noticeably better.

I would disagree with this. There are many web apps and desktop apps that I’ve been using for years (some open source) and they’ve mostly all gotten noticeably better. I believe this is because the developers can iterate faster with AI.
Some non-protein coding DNA produces RNA which serves a purpose. We also know that there are large areas of non-coding DNA which are very important for transcriptional regulation.

But it remains true that there are large amounts of non-coding junk DNA which is under no selection pressure. It may be important for spacing out sections of DNA or it may just be along for the ride after being incorporated by ancient splicing errors or viruses. It's just frustrating to keep reading this articles about how, "it's not junk after all," when it has been known for decades that DNA/RNA have many non-coding functions and it has also been known for decades that there truly is "junk" DNA.

> I realize that style of writing appeals to the "us vs them" mentality but I'd rather read about the underlying economics and finances.

But this is the underlying economics and finances.

They can use a "razor and blades" business model because of all the things mentioned in the text you quoted. If they didn't do those things I could just order from amazon a cheap ink for their cheap printers from a rival and they would either go bankrupt or need to sell printers closer to what they make them for. But you can't because they made it illegal for the rivals to create those cheap ink cartridges.

In fact talking about "Razor and blades model" obscures this fact, not illuminates it.
Because you can get a basic inkjet printer with included cartridges for $30 vs $350 for a color laser printer + toner. I'm sure the latter makes sense if you are printing at scale, but for occasional use there's really no point spending that much.
AI is really good at goldfish programming. It's incredibly smart within its myopic window, but falls apart as it is asked to look farther. The key is to ask for bite sized things where that myopia doesn't really become a factor. Additionally, you as the user have to consider whether the model has seen seen similar things in the past, as it's really good at regurgitating variations but struggles with novelty.
He may well make money on it, but I'm not sure that's really his goal.

I don't much like Musk, but I'll give him this: he seems to want money because of what money does, not just to pile up bigger and bigger numbers in an account book somewhere. He bought Twitter to do social engineering, and he's getting what he paid for. He bought himself a place in government so that he could stick it to the people he dislikes, and get government out of the way of his Mars plans.

He wants to be remembered as the Christopher Columbus of Mars, not as a guy with a really big bank account. He wants admiration, and he's getting it. (And he's getting notoriety, but like my cats, he thinks any attention is good attention.)

I don't particularly like the way he's going about it, but I understand that a lot better than the ones who just seem to want money for its own sake.

This kind of actions (alongside Chevron's treatment of Danziger for his work against their pollution in Ecuador) is why:

* high level executives must have personal responsibility. They get paid the big bucks, they should get all the responsibility that comes with it. Jail a few of the egregious human rights abusers/negligent killers, and this kind of thing will be taken seriously. Why does a Muillenburg get to walk away with tens of millions of dollars for presiding over the killing of people? Some egregious ones will be made a public example of (shot in New York), but this is not a solution to anything.

* A corporate death penalty should be a thing. An ExxonMobil, after all the crap they've done (the Valdez tanker, this) is obviously rotten to the core. Nationalise, sell ot the pieces, and everyone who was employed there in any decision making capacity gets a stain on their CV like the people who worked at Enron or FTX or any other scummy company.
Okay, maybe they don't deserve to be killed, but can we agree that most of our healthcare workers deserve to be punched in the face, since they contribute to this evil system?
Hacking My "Smart" Toothbrush
Popular crime shows like CSI (and arguably detective novels even before that) have created a false impression that forensics are an exact science that can perfectly narrow down the list of suspects to the exact person who did it.

But of course in reality it is much more complex. All forms of forensic evidence are vulnerable to noise: sure, that one interesting artifact may be evidence but it also may not be, and the inverse may be true for that perfectly ordinary thing everyone missed. A linguistic quirk can be a piece of evidence but it can also be accidental (e.g. nowadays it might also result from bad predictive typing or autocomplete, or even more recently, as others have pointed out, LLMs).

So all of these are in effect just probabilistic filters. And filters are only useful when your sample size includes your target (i.e. if the actual perpetrator is a suspect and you have adequate data about them). And even then they may not only produce false positives but also false negatives and these may interact the more filters you attempt to combine.

Forensic linguistics can be useful when you have a small set of suspects that you absolutely know includes the actual perpetrator. But otherwise they can send you on a wild goose chase or hurt the innocent.
> And in a nuclear world, those threats can escalate to annihilation.

They haven't thus far. And the US was a lot more pointed about deterrence (including nuclear escalation threats) in the 60s/70s.

The status quo is that Russia frequently threatens nuclear escalation to all sorts of Ukrainian actions, and the West... doesn't threaten anything preemptively.

Can you think of one instance thus far where the West preemptively said "If Russia does X, then we will Y" for clear Xs and Ys? And then did it?

There are airports with homeless problems?? It’s impossible to walk to my local airport (MSP), but you can take a train or bus there. I figured most airports were similar, but maybe I’m wrong.

I read this as just saying "Our propaganda department has a new memo about the approved way to refer to our product, but obviously nobody internally listens to them -- their job is to communicate to potential customers, and so typically don't have anything to say to employees. Since they claim it to be important that everyone use the same jargon, even internally, they'll need to do a roadshow to whip everyone to the same page."

That seems fine. The marketing department's job is to do exactly stuff like this.
Wow. That must have been a very windless day!
That’s true. But if you are already an experienced developer who’s been around the block enough to call bullshit when you see it, these LLM thingies can be pretty useful for unfamiliar languages. But you need to be constantly vigilant, ask it the right questions (eg: “is this thing you wrote really best practice for this language? Cause it doesn’t seem that way”), and call bullshit on obvious bullshit…

…which sometimes feels like it is more work than just fucking doing it yourself. So yeah. I dunno!

I think a lot of the analysis of Intel is just looking at a totally broken timeframe. Intel started having problems in early 2010s. It has been sliding since then. To fix it you need to clean house, get aligned on a good chain of management and engineering, then build out a roadmap that gets you back to process leadership and then execute on that roadmap. A year to sort out the organisation, a year to re-vamp the roadmap, probably 2-3 years to execute. Pat was probably the only person with the clout to ask for that time, and he didn't get it (and arguably he didn't really face the scale of the problem). The board failed, but it failed in 2010-2015, there's no point searching for someone to blame now, we're well past the point that the correct answer is to sell it for parts.
I think that’s a long distance record for leaps in reasoning.
Colour laser printers whilst being more expensive, produce better quality output for colour documents than ink does in my opinion. You don't get the horizontal lines that you sometimes get with inkjets where the ink overlaps a bit.

However, inkjets are probably better for printing photos, but I'd recommend just using a photo printing service if that's what you're after (assuming that they're not private photos that you don't want to share).
1. Advertisements without data are worthless. At a minimum you need a mechanism to combat click fraud and that requires detailed profiles and tracking on users to determine the economic value of those users.

2. This is a vanishingly small subset of ads.

3. While advertisers do not directly receive your data, you do still get tracked. Furthermore, the infrastructure undergirding ad tracking is comically easy to appropriate for law enforcement and national security purposes; the CIA buys a shitton of ad tracking data from data brokers.

Furthermore, targeted advertising, even if used as intended without any law enforcement spook tracking nonsense, is still a nightmare because it allows fraudsters to target ads directly to their most optimal marks. Think about how good Facebook is at showing your grandpa a bunch of fake ads for fraudulent products and scams. Scamming online got a lot more efficient with targeted advertising.

4. The double dip still exists even if data isn't tracked because I don't want to see ads. I am paying to remove them. In fact, I shouldn't even have to pay to remove the tracking; that should be free, and under EU law it is free.

5. A lot of subscriptions actually were sold as no ads, because that's the thing people want.

6. The correct amount of ads are zero. Because ads are not information, they are attacks, in the same way that social engineering is an attack.

I still feel this is a better approach. It's absurd that consumers have to pay out if they miss a flight or appointment even if it's 2 minutes over the deadline yet when corporations are late they can just say "oopsie" and get away with it. Incentivizing a buffer time and providing consequences for scammy time estimates is something I would appreciate.

Because the VAST majority of people that purchase printers are super casual users, that will maybe print out 10-20 pages a year, and let the printer collect dust rest of the time.

Being the "IT guy" among family/friends/colleagues, 9 out of 10 times that's the case. Someone asks me if I can help them with their printer, they bought it 1-3 years ago, they've barely used it, but need new ink cartridge.

It's always the same printers. They saw one on sale for $40 or whatever at some big box store, a bought it.

I think the real problem is that people are misunderstanding what programming is: understanding problems.

The hard truth is that you will learn nothing if you avoid doing the work yourself.

I'm often re-reading ewd-273 [0] from Dijkstra, The programming task considered as an intellectual challenge. How little distance have we made since that paper was published! His burning question:

> Can we get a better understanding of the nature of the programming task, so that by virtue of this better understanding, programming becomes an order of magnitude easier, so that our ability to compose reliable programs is increased by a similar order of magnitude?

I think the answer AI-assistants provide is... no. Instead we're using the "same old methods," Dijkstra disliked so much. We're expected to rely on the Lindy effect and debug the code until we feel more confident that it does what we want it to. And we still struggle to convince ourselves that these programs are correct. We have to content ourselves with testing and hoping that we don't cause too much damage in the AI-assisted programming world.

Not my preferred way to work and practice programming.

As for, "democratizing access to programming..." I can't think of a field that is more open to sharing it's knowledge and wisdom. I can't think of a field that is more eager to teach its skills to as many people as possible. I can't think of any industry that is more open to accepting people, without accreditation, to take up the work and become critical contributors.

There's no royal road. You have to do the work if you want to build the skill.

I'm not an educator but I suspect that AI isn't helping people learn the practice of programming. Certainly not in the sense that Dijkstra meant it. It may be helping people who aren't interested in learning the skills to develop software on their own... up to a point, 70% perhaps. But that's always been the case with low-code/no-code systems.

I bought an Epson EcoTank five years ago and am very happy with it. The ink is dirt cheap.

The only downside is that you have to print something every 2-3 months, otherwise the quality degrades noticeably for the next few printouts. But after that it has always returned to normal quality for me.
Really? I plugged my old phone some days ago and set up a ssh daemon on it, just to see if it stays connected. Should I be worried?
In which case you _particularly_ want laser, because laser printers will keep working for that sort of duty cycle, whereas if not used semi-regularly, most ink cartridges will need replacing even if not empty.
The reality of different places are... different. Here (Brazil) the cheapest laser printer costs 3x the price of an ink jet printer, and it only prints monochrome. Doesn't make sense for a printer for personal use in a home that will be used once in a while.

To be honest, nowadays I would prefer ink tank, as their extra cost (here) are smaller than the price of the cartridges that will need to be bought in the next years. And they are cheaper than the cheapest laser printers sold here.
Depending on the camera and film she had, she might not have been totally wrong. Or, at minimum, this likely allowed a higher "keep" rate for shots without futzing about with the ISO setting, exposure compensation, or anything else (which might not have been available if she was using a basic P&S).

I just saw these Tonies at Target (USA) last night, it looks like that store got the exclusive distribution rights for the US. $99 for the starter box? Wow.
I think the biggest exposure would come from handling/replacing the toner cartridges. Make sure that you keep them closed and don't shake them around (e.g. to distribute the toner within).

I think they're also not great for releasing gases and certainly my one does have a chemical smell when printing, so I just make sure that I'm in a different room for doing a large print (it helps that the printer is network connected).

The better tech often lowers the barrier for people to do things but raises the bar of users (and stakeholders for contract projects) expectations. It is plainly visible with web development where the amount of tooling has grown dramatically (both frontend and backend) to do things.

Like, for example, all the big-data stuff we do today was unthinkable 10 years ago, today every mid-sized company has a data team. 15 years ago all data in a single monolithic relational database was the norm, all you needed to know was SQL and some Java/C#/PHP and some HTML to get some data wired up into queries.
I think you have that backwards (sort of). The high tier programmers who can write things AI can't will be worth more since they'll be more productive, while the programmers below the AI skill floor will see their value drop since they've been commoditized. We already have a bimodal distribution of salaries for programmers between FAANG/not, this will just exacerbate that.

Because inkjets print prettier pictures, are more versatile, don't have long start up times, don't generate indoor ozone.

There are professional inkjets available that are more respectful of your right to buy cheap supplies than even brother - specifically I can pour bottled ink into printers of at least two manufacturers.

And (professional) modern inkjets keep up with print speed.

> The reason React is particularly disparaged, imho, is because the framework fashionistas have moved on to chase the new shiny thing, and everyone else has always hated all these frameworks to begin with, so there's no one left to defend this particular hot mess.

I think you're projecting here. Its fine not to like trends in tech, but tech will change whether you like it or not. The people who jump on every new thing and stress about having to learn it all will keep doing it. That doesn't mean that anyone else hated it all to begin with. That's a pretty weird assumption to make. Even this thread is full of people who enjoy using React. Meanwhile, React is pretty stable and boring if you ask me.
