>One, you’re not getting MGX and SoftBank to pay off student debt.

I don't think that was the actual literal expectation, rather that the cost to the tax payer - and there will be a cost to the tax payer - should be best spent elsewhere.

>Two, if they do what they say they want to, they’ll be building new power generation, transmission infrastructures and data centres. Even if AI is a hype, that’s far from useless capital.

Nothing has proven this to be true yet

>OpenAI is spending their own money on this.

Not a single entity has spent any real money on this. So far, its a PR stunt. The general lack of roll out corresponding with the announcement is telling. When real money is spent than I'll believe they might go through with it all the way.

Whats more likely to happen is that these companies will spend at most a token amount of money, then lobby congress and the executive branch for subsidies in order to proceed more 'earnestly' and since this is a pledge, there's nothing in writing that binds a contractual commitment of these funds and their purpose, so they could just as well pocket what they can to offset the costs, use what infrastructure gets built as a result, but shut down the initiative. Bad press won't matter, if its reported on at all.

This has played out for decades like this. Big announcements, so called private money commitments, then come the asks from the government to offset the costs they supposedly pledged to pay anyway, and eventually if you're lucky 1 widget gets built in some economic development area and the companies pocket what they can manage to bilk before its all shut down.

Hanging around 5 grand. Unfortunately the R&D process was rough! The R&D BOM is linked below, feel free to take a look. If you were to build it, I'd estimate it costing around 1500 dollars (or less).
The number 150,000,000 is laughably small.

Anyway the problem is not money it's technical feasibility and timelines.

masterpass is MC's version of 3DS. It's used by MC worldwide when transaction is sus. I guess, in MC's eyes, transactions in your country are considered sus by default even if they entirely between local entities.

Palo Alto has had AT&T fiber since 2019 depending on your location (but still not 100% coverage). I was lucky enough to be in an early coverage area but the price for 1GB symmetric has risen from $75/month to $115.
In a BuJo: list the page you want to reference. I also create several pages of initial index at the beginning of my BuJo, and generally put spreads at the back, working forward.

That way the BuJo reads as: index, calendrical pages, spreads/references (at the end).

The advantages are non-electronic storage with ready reference. You can only access the current year's BuJo generally (unless you're where your archive is kept), but current references should be readily available on you (e.g., addresses, current information, calendar, etc.). You can only lose the current journal should you misplace it, and the information won't leak out readily as it can from digital storage.

For an index-card system, look up Zettelkasten if you haven't already. Very robust and useful indexing systems have been at the heart of academic and commercial research for over two centuries now, and the systems developed are quite powerful. Digital systems are more powerful still, but have their own downsides: loss or corruption, data exfiltration, and devices which may not be convenient to use in all circumstances.

With a BuJo or Zettelkasten, information capture is possible by carrying a few index cards with you and jotting notes. You have capture, can file these into your journal (or an indexing system, or a loose-leaf binding), and don't risk losing the rest of your archive in the process. The lack of digital distractions is its own powerful benefit.
Interesting! What do you do when you try to factor a large number that doesn't yield to any of your mental factoring techniques? It might be prime, after all, or composite with only large prime factors. Do you give up after a while? Run it through a factoring program? Keep plugging away until you get to the number's square root?
Not true re Openreach monopoly - openreach ftth is approx 51% premises covered, altnets cover 40% of the country (https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/uk), so not much in it at the moment.

On top of that, Virgin Media is upgrading their existing 18m home DOCSIS network to FTTH plus their nexfibre build will take them to probably 25m+ homes.

So by the end of the decade the average UK household is going to have access to at least 3 separate FTTH networks.

Only OR FTTH is not symmetrical btw. Everyone else offers symmetrical and YouFibre offers 8/8gig.

Back when I lived in Ukraine in 2021, I got our family a 1Gbps fiber connection.

We lived on the edge of the city, and it was insanely hard to find a provider.

I knew internet was super cheap in Ukraine and was going to leave Ukraine in the following years, so getting a 1Gbps fiber as an all-time-at-home person was a great idea.

I ended up finding 2 providers that had fiber, and 1 of them had 1Gbps.

I was super happy to have symmetrical 1Gbps for $15 a month for the time I could spend there.

Here, in Vancouver, I am happy to have 250Mbps/15Mbps for $40 per month.

That’s like complaining about investments in automated looms at the start of the Industrial Revolution and claiming that the money would be better spent if handed out to the slum dwelling population.

We have the benefit of hindsight now and we understand that technological revolutions improve living standards for everyone and drag whole populations out of grinding labour and poverty.

And it would be foolish to allow China and Russia to out-invest the West in AI and make us mere clients (or worse, victims) of their superior technology.

Industrialists understand that the way to fix the world’s problems is to advance society, as opposed to resting on the laurels of past advancement, and dividing the diminishing spoils of those achievements.
Yeah- I just spent so much time complaining about not being able to get fiber in the heart of the bay area that when the 1gig cable service came, I felt like it was time to put my money where my mouth was. Then the novelty wore off, and I downgraded. IIRC, the 250meg service still had "sufficient" upload.
> so I wound up putting some JS in my index page template that checks for that kind of thing.

If we are going to use JS, then you might as well put the redirects themselves in JS. Have a tiny stub of JS that detects the "/?p=xxx" case, which can then load the (presumably very large) list of redirects from a separate file and do the redirecting. That'll save you maintaining the extra service.

As for me, I moved from a Django app I made to a Hugo site, but it's pretty much the same deal. Because my Hugo site is on a "real" server (rather than e.g. GitHub Pages) I just have a giant pile of 500+ redirects in the nginx config file for the site (which is checked into the same repo as my Hugo site). It works for me.
So the FCC is going to let them spy on the last mile with no restrictions. Nice of Sundar to come back from DC with a gift.
Fair points. I highly doubt anyone is going to softly engage with China while China is trying to become the world leader. My guess is US won't like the loss of soft power, thus will intimidate any country that signs deals with China even further. It's in China's best interest to go full steam ahead without caring about the neighbours until they become the political super power in the world.
Your math is wrong at least for Biden, I didn't recheck the others. Biden has 1736 pardons commuted or granted in 46.5 months or 37 pardons per month. I suspect all your other ones are wrong since Biden was so off. The recent trend is Biden and Obama being "off the charts" compared to the republican presidents. From my understanding this is due to weed related charges where they did mass pardonings. It's besides the point ones feelings about it, just commenting on the math.
If only it covered all of RTP. I've lived in TWO places in Durham where there was Google Fiber across the street from me but I couldn't get it at my address. Where I live currently the people across the street can get Google Fiber or AT&T Fiber and I can only get Spectrum Cable.
I have this wacky idea of community fiber kiosks where you stop to fast-download large files/torrents/data dumps

Usually most engineers have some slack time and can pick things up to fix. The problem is not in them doing that. The issues arrises in one of two things—

[1] They either use the fact that they are fixing that thing as an excuse to not work on or deliver on time a different, more important task. If that happens, obvious questions about prioritization occur.

[2] They want a substantial amount of credit or recognition for doing it. Usually such fixes don't receive exec attention (since execs are tracking more important projects) and so don't get the same due as a properly tracked project does.
They basically did at some point about a decade or so ago maybe. Wimax and LTE were taking off at that time. Then about 2 years ago, Google woke up and started pushing fiber again.

It's clear now that high speed fiber is the future. Cable companies aren't upgrading their networks anymore. It's unclear if the wireless companies will be able to support 10gig service. And the single mode fiber laid into the ground a decade or more ago has only increased in value.

I think whether you're at 3 or 4 depends largely on what latitude you live at. I have many colleagues who are seriously considering moving because the weather is getting too extreme where they're at.

Depends on if you account for just tax, or tax, soli, social security, and given it is baveria - church tax.

Some back of the envelope calculations would put the effective rate for tax+soli+church at ~25%. Add another 20% for social security to make that 45%.

The marginal rate would be something like 42% tax + 5.5% soli * .42 + 8% church * .42 ~= 47%

The socials include pension+unemployment+healthcare+long-term-care

Yeah, my gripe with my snide comment is more about how bandwidth costs should be falling over time in a competitive market, not that 1gig for $70 isn't actually still a good deal for the US.

The real advantage in having Google Fiber move into Vegas (or anywhere else) is they they're creating competition. It's silly how fast broadband prices plummeted here with the 1-2 punch of 2 fiber providers coming in in relatively short order. All of a sudden, whoops, the major providers can profitably provide service at a fraction of the price! Who knew?

I found it took a while to get to the point.

In the end, I actually agree with this! I have also been thinking about filesystems, which are trees of of dictionaries (directories) and blobs (files), and that there are many other examples of tree-like data. Data structures in our programs are tree shaped, perhaps with references/pointers to other parts of the tree. JSON is a tree of dictionaries (objects), arrays, and data (the primitive string/number/null). The arrays are ordered, much like the content inside a HTML/XML block.

I agree that adding an "array" style of directory to our file systems would be really cool. I've been toying with the idea of writing a FUSE driver that holds some structured data (possibly including arrays) and just converts the (integer) index into a string. The idea is that you could e.g. view and edit some JSON tree with the file explorer. And not just JSON - basically any piece of structured data that we have in our programs can be "viewed" as a FS this way (e.g. just convert structs into directories of fields). It could even be a pretty cool and universal debugger - a breakpoint could make the program pause and serve a FUSE driver and later continue when it is unmounted :)

And yes, exactly what follows from this is some program could be written to open some "directory" and render a "document" based on the contents. The filesystem supports links, so we have the "web" like experience.

The "document" angle does require adding a kind of directory with ordered array semantics rather than dictionary/map semantics. It's the first missing ingredient listed in the article. Though some filesystems use sorted dictionaries (b-trees or whatever) for directory maps so you could maybe hack this ordered semantics in that way.

The second missing ingredient listed in the article is the hypermedia part. I mean my computer is actually OK at inferring if a file is a movie or photo or text document, so we kind of have a way of dealing with that, too. The "blob of bytes is a narrow waste" thing is quite powerful. That said, sum types could be useful to demark different kinds of "stuff", and there's no reason an implementation of this idea couldn't support sum types as part of its data model.

Mutating argv is fine for how it is usually done. That is, to permute the arguments in a getopt() call so that all nonoptions are at the end.

It is fine because it is usually done during the initialization phase, before starting any other thread. setenv() can be used here too, though I prefer to avoid doing that in any case. I also prefer not to touch argv, but since that's how GNU getopt() works, I just go with it.

Once the program is running and has started its threads, I consider setenv() is a big no no. The Rust documentation agrees with me: "In multi-threaded programs on other operating systems, the only safe option is to not use set_var or remove_var at all.". Note: here, "other operating systems" means "not Windows".
