Both. It’s a lot of electrical work, hvac work (think ducting, plumbing, more electric). Tons of concrete work.

Once you have one working design for the environment (e.g. hot desert vs cold and humid), you can stamp the things out with minimal variation between the two.

The maintenance of all of that supporting infrastructure is the standard blue collar work the same.

The only new blue collar job on the maintenance side is responding to hardware issues. What this entails depends on if it’s a colo center and you’re doing “remote hands” for a customer where you’re swapping a PSU, RAM, or whatever. You also install new servers, switches, etc.

As you move up into hyperscalers the logistics vary because some designs make servicing a single server in place not worth cooling the whole hot aisle (Google runs really hot hot aisles that weren’t human friendly). So sometimes you just yank the server and throw it in a cart or wait for the whole rack to fail and pull it then.

Overall though, anything that can be done remotely is. So the data center techs do very little work on the keyboard

As an Australian who had friends who bought product on silk road my understanding was:

1) It's safer to buy something online and have it mailed to your house than go pick it up from some shady dude.

2) On the street you would often get duds or spiked product, online reputations were built up over time and important to be maintained (think uber/ebay stars).

Overall silk road probably increased the amount of drug activity but made each incident safer. Not sure what the overall impact would be.
I don’t see why he deserves to be released.

So many people are in jail for crimes they didn’t commit, or for non-violent offenses that were committed out of hardship and a need to eat.

They gave evidence he tried to have someone killed, and that he saw confirmation it had been done.

Even if the accusation is somehow false and he didn’t order that killing, how many people did he actually kill just by running Silk Road?

I’m so sick of the narrative that aww shucks he’s a good kid from a good family and he just made a boo-boo and didn’t mean to build a multi-billion dollar illicit fortune from trafficking deadly drugs and outright poisons all over the world.

> non-violent charges

Although the murder-for-hire charges were dropped, transcripts published by Wired in 2015[0] show Ross Ulbricht openly discussing contract killings: he haggles over price, suggests interrogation, and even provides personal details about a target’s family (“Wife + 3 kids”). These charges were dismissed partly because he had already been sentenced to life in New York, making further prosecution moot—but the transcripts themselves factored into his sentencing. No killings occurred (he was likely scammed), yet the conversations challenge the notion that his crimes were purely non-violent. He was willing to have someone killed to protect his idea.

White Elephant (2003)
Huge difference between EU and US: In the EU, the seller always pays VAT to the government. In case of B2B, the buyer can claim it back from the government. As proof, store the invoice and data about the payment (and that the goods/service have been received). Proof is rarely verififed. Huge potential for tax fraud.

With all invoices going through government computers, only VAT that has actually been paid can be claimed back.

The easier solution would of course be to get rid of VAT, and increase income tax instead. But then people earning barely enough will suddenly notice how much the are paying. VAT nicely hides that fact.

The people in Pennsylvania knew they were voting for an out-of-control, unpredictable, felonious septuagenarian with fascist tendencies. Complaining now that he is all of those things before he is someone who may or may not do other good things, is just silly. Either they knew, or they've been had.
The comment says:
Every time you click on a link your external IP addresses is exposed, is this a vulnerability? Being online without a VPN / proxy is inherent consent to have your external IP & other required items to be shared with services / middlemen.

The fact that a user's IP is exposed when they click on a link is only relevant to the original post if a user would do this automatically and without realizing. The original post alleges that they can send someone a message on Signal and have the user automatically and somewhat unknowingly load a resource from a server. Sure, the author doesn't claim they have much control over the resource or the server, but they do show how you can check which server the user accessed and how that leaks information about the location of the user to a certain extent.
The US constitution increasingly seems like the principles of the Roman Republic after Caesar — a quaint relic that gets regular ceremonial lip service but provides no checks and balances on the leaders.

Presidents of both parties abuse pardon power with monarchic glee. The president now has full immunity. The incoming president and his wife launched crypto-tokens whose only utility is to allow foreigners to send billions of dollars to them anonymously (of course with full identification of the buyer in private communications thanks to the crypto private key, so you can be sure of who sent the bribe).

People are obviously tired and overwhelmed. It's hard to pay attention because Trump has recently threatened so much more: invading foreign allies, military trials for political opponents, using the army against citizens, and so on. When he carries through with just 20% of what he said, it's supposed to be no big deal. But the institutions and norms are destroyed and they don't magically come back if the other party wins.

Selling say drugs that kill people (kids including) and illegal weapons that are often used for murders. Such activity is by western standards one of worst crimes, especially in massive scale and run for profit. Even ignoring all other criminal activity, 25 to life seems like a adequate sentence.

It seems that from day 1 US is moving quite far from the place it was and projected itself to others for past decades. More ruthless, money above all, not much fairness in international dealings. Maybe US will be richer after those 4 years, but at current trajectory it will lose a lot of friends and partners.

Please realize this - for Europe, China starts to look like a great not only business but also military partner, much more reliable long term. This is how much such moves can fuck up things.

I used to live in Glen Park at that time and I vividly remember seeing Ross working as a cashier at the Canyon Market, helping me bag my groceries. It was probably around the time he was starting the Silk Road. The place where he was arrested was also my favorite table at the Public Library, where I used to go work. It is incredible to be that close to history.
If most data between the backend/frontend is raw numeric array binary blobs, and you target array types that can be loaded directly into JS TypedArrays (int32_t* -> Int32Array, float* -> Float32Array, etc.), you have a more or less optimal data transfer mechanism with zero dependencies. The JS parsing is faster than the fetching, even with 10s of millions of items, provided you keep the number of arrays fixed and reasonably small.

This is a natural fit for data-oriented programming in most systems languages, including C++. It's also compatible with numpy and any other dynamic language backends that have a performance-oriented array primitive or lib. The data can be served dynamically from memory, or written to files on a static server like nginx.

>The background is solid black.

>These normally are ideal variables for photogrammetry

Actually no, my friend learned this the hard way during a photogrammetry project, he rented a photo studio, and made sure the background were perfectly black and took the photos but the photogrammetry program (Meshroom I think) was struggling to reconstruct the mesh. I did some research and I learned that it uses features in the background to help position itself to make the meshes. So he redid his tests outside with "messy" backgrounds and it worked much much better.

This was a few years ago so I don't know if things are different now.

It doesn't really. I'd immediately think "what about the rest of them?". "Not a star" works, but that's because it is made indefinite by the article. I wonder if the point here is that in English, dropping the article implies "the" in a way it doesn't in other languages.
Configuration Management of one form or another is a way to ensure consistency across a fleet of servers, and reduce administration overhead. VMs aren't going away any time soon, despite SaaS companies best efforts.

Companies with 100s to 1000s of hours of investment in software like Puppet aren't going to rearchitect without being forced to. By the application becoming unsuitable for current needs, or due to cost.

Broadcom bought out VMWare and jacked the price up by unworkable amounts. Puppet is now owned by a venture capital company and the non-zero possibility is they'll follow Broadcom's playbook. That's why Puppet is being forked.

Why not contribute to Ansible or Salt? What individual programmers do in their spare time is irrelevant to the majority of users of those products.

The purpose of this is to reduce manual work. In Finland, we've had mandatory electronic invoicing in all B2B transactions since 2020 (based on domestic standard called Finvoice which is very similar to PEPPOL.) It is really great. My company is 100% paper-free. When I get an invoice, it pops up to my accountants system and I just go and accept it with one click in their web UI. After that the invoice will be paid from my bank account on the due date and entered into the books automatically.

Gone are the error-prone days of manually copying account numbers, invoice reference codes and amounts from PDFs and paper mail, and scanning those invoices for book keeping.

The standards for e-invoicing are open but it's true that you need to hire a trusted intermediary to process your messages. Anyone can become a processor so it's not a closed system but I bet there's some auditting required before you get a license - which makes sense.

Overall changes like these initially mean some expenses to businesses but once the system is up and working as intended it reduces lots of mandatory pencil pushing type work, bringing savings throughout the economy to all companies.

I find the narrative that Chinese researchers are stealing AI technology from the US very weird indeed. I have been working in AI for more than 30 years and in the last 15 years almost every major paper on the topic has had at least one Chinese author. In 2018 I went to conference to Florence and 60% of the speakers were Chinese.
They sent their students to every lab in the world to train them and to advance in the field as much as they could. And today it is paying off.
Also, if you watch the video that was released by OpenAI for the O1 presentation, almost no researchers in the team was American. Most of them were either European or Asian. So yeah!!! The US is number 1 in AI, but without much of local players. It reminds me of the British football championship, which is one of the best in Europe, but where the national team is not much of a powerhouse.

Can you form vivid mental images in your head?

Many of us can't. Personally, for nearly three decades I thought the ability to vividly experience a book this way was just some overused and extremely exaggerated metaphor - and then I discovered aphantasia is a thing, and I score close to top of its severity scale.

So perhaps it's less about your starting point, and more about describing a frame of mind some in the audience don't have, and can't relate to.

Curiously, I don't recall ever seeing this particular style of writing before, in any of the books I ever read.

> It forces you to deal with that complexity everywhere in your codebase.

The alternative is fighting the abstraction. Imagine trying to write the Linux Kernel in JavaScript or Python. Lot less fighting types in your code, more time fighting the abstractions to achieve other things. Considering a big part of the kernel is types it makes sense to encode complexity within them.

Going "low-level" implies that you're abandoning abstractions to use all the tools in the CS and compute toolbox and the baggage that entails.

I'm an awkward person.

If I somehow awkwarded my way into lots of rational people thinking I had pulled a multiple sieg heil, I'd spend days apologizing loudly and profusely. Because being awkward and being a piece of shit person are very different things (though some people can of course be both).

Elon has not only not apologized for it, he hasn't even actually denied it.

I'm pretty convinced he did it 100% intentionally, perhaps maybe more as an attention baiting troll than anything else, but even as a troll gesture it is wildly problematic for someone who has bought as much real world influence as he recently has to do what he did.
The banks are likely not holding the loans. They're likely selling the right to the cashflows to an investment firm in exchange for a lump sum of cash more than the value of the loan but less than the total interest collected over the life of the loan. Depending on the composition of the portfolio, various funds may want exposure to the underlying assets and so may be willing to take on the concentrated risk.

While not about these loans specifically, the principles described in [0] apply. Check the section "who buys mortgages?"

I don't know about China, but an unused oil well fills with sand very quick in most regions. Production can't be restarted after that. A new well is needed.

That doesn't mean they can't abandon an oil well that still have oil with the intention of digging another one later, it's just very expensive to do it.
