Here you go, the data is of course available because that is what our laws require. They are under the Department of Commerce, which in total makes up less than 2% of the annual budget. If your argument is that NOAA is running on old infrastructure, then a modernization project should be prioritized, but that is _certainly_ not a way to save money.
You can double the NOAA budget and still not make any difference.

What a world we’re in where a school using text to teach children, who will remember it, talk about it with others, likely buy it for their own children… can be framed as a “massive indirect subsidy” rather than “free advertising”.

On the contrary, a system like this would most certainly be designed such that the PSU outlet is female, the GPU inlet is male, and you'd use a male to female power cable. This way, a cable plugged only into a device leaves exposed but dead pins on the other end, and a cable plugged only into a PSU leaves non-exposed pins on the other end.

Just like UPSes have C13 outlets, ATX PSUs have C14 inlets, and you plug a desktop PC into a UPS with a C14 to C13 cable.

I feel that was a piece of history very much worthy talking about, plus it is very inspirational for younger engineers who want to be real engineers.

I for one look up to people who can design, implement and debug complex systems, especially computers components and low level computer software.
I mean, you've just invented eugenics. Restrict the number of children being born that would not help the economy out. The government did do this once upon a time, but there are tradeoffs like riots you have to take into account. The difference between immigrants and babies is the immigrants can't riot within the US, so the US has no need to cater to their desires. However, immigrants that create more jobs than they take, or raise wages and innovation do have a pretty easy time immigrating to the US (e.g. investor and o1/e1 visas).
I see nothing wrong with private entities having to pay for weather forecasts instead of leeching off the taxpayers.
How would training on copyrighted material be infringement in a way that merely producing the training material (but not iterating through training) would not be?

The fourth one controls recirculate, and it allowed you to set in-between positions between 100% recirculate and 100% fresh air.

To simultaneously optimize pollution/humidity/CO2 I find I prefer about 80% recirculate and 20% fresh air, but achieving this configuration is impossible in most (all?) modern cars.

I have a Chevy Bolt EUV and charged it on an ordinary US 120V circuit. Because there was nothing else on the circuit, I could tell the Bolt to charge at 12A at home, otherwise it limits itself to 8A anywhere that's not-home. It seemed to be about 3 miles of range per hour at 12A, 2 mph at 8A.

It actually worked pretty well for me. There were a couple of times I ended up "fast" (the Bolt is slow at DC charging) charging but very few in more than a year. The garage didn't have 240V power and we knew we were moving.

At the new house, I have a 240V 60A hardwired circuit for the EV charger so I can charge much faster, probably 25 miles of range per hour, maybe more. I haven't used a fast charger in probably six months.

It is a shock seeing what cold temperatures do to range in the Bolt. We have an Equinox EV and it seems to do better plus it has a longer range to start with.
There were data brokers who literally paid people to transcribe phone books before OCR was a viable option. That was protected, as data isn't copyrightable. It isn't hard to argue that case law metadata is no different even though it includes textual descriptions (themselves taken from public documents).
Sounds like something ready for the mass population.
I want to point out a couple of facts to anyone celebrating this.

0. A reduction in X spending by the government means a reduction in X income to businesses and households.

1. If you reduce the federal workforce, the private sector has to absorb them.

2. For the private sector to absorb them, they need the money to pay them.

3. If you say, cut $500 billion in salary from federal government, the private sector needs to come up with $500 billion extra income to pay those people.

4. The private sector will lose $500 billion in income because generally people spend what they earn. All those federal employees were buying from the private sector.

5. The private sector usually pays better than the government, therefore for every dollar "saved" in the government you probably need $1.5 dollars in revenue to absorb them in the private sector.

So given the facts above, I want to ask people who celebrate this, where will the private sector get the money to absorb these people when they lost in aggregate the same amount in revenue? The answer is they need to borrow. Which means the private sector racks up more debt. The debt they rack up will be exactly the amount (or more!) that the federal government doesn't spend.

I don't think OP is arguing against police or policing, they are arguing against the process that allows a single phone call to result in a pre-escalated military-style armed response.

There are other ways to investigate an anonymous phone call claiming this-and-that than to immediately kick the door in guns blazing.
What kind of drones are you thinking, other than just good ol' missiles?

Anything even remotely drone shaped would have to be covered in so many aerogel reentry tiles and thermal insulation I'm not sure there would be any usable weight left for a payload.
What led you to beleive that mathematics is a good tool for evaluating an LLM? It is a thing they currently dont do well, since it is wildly out of domain of their training corpus - down the very way we structure information for an LLM to ingest. If we start doing the same for humans, most humans are in deep trouble.
> Be advised though, stay as far away as possible from the K80 - the drivers were one of the most painful tech things I've ever had to endure, even if 24GB of VRAM for 50 bucks sounds incredibly appealing.

I thought the problem was that those cards have loads of RAM but lack really important compute capabilities such that they're kind of useless for actually running AI workloads on. Is that not the case?
> You can definitely see how AI companies will be hustling to distinguish this from "we trained on copyrighted documents, and made a general purpose AI, and then people paid to use our AI to compete with the people who owned the documents." It's not quite the same, the connection is less direct, but it's not totally different.

Surely creating a general-purpose AI is transformative, though? Are you anticipating that AI companies will be sued for contributory infringement, because customers are using a general-purpose AI to compete with companies which created parts of the training data?
o1 is better but deepseek r1 on https://together.xyz is also an option for something the Together ads say is 9x cheaper.

Why does this relate? For ai, I would suggest picking the best model and I can run 9x the amount of work for the same price for about the same performance.

Being able to see the reasoning is life changing for things.
Annex implies the use of force. For Greenland in particular, this is about opening negotiations. No doubt just a strong negotiation tactic from the US president, and it's not like it's unusual for the US to conduct negotiations like this anyway.
>The author's point is that their rate, the higher rate, is a better reflection of how the voters are doing economically and explains why their perception of the economy can be very different than the perception of many leaders in Washington, who are puzzled about why the voters are upset.

Right, but that doesn't explain why voters are suddenly mad now. American consumer sentiment has deviated from "fundamentals" since the pandemic[1].

Most likely they are just posting for the "puppygirl hacker polycule", and "So we took matters into our own paws". My guess is that these words were chosen as a joke.

I feel like we are in agreement that taking these manuals, considering nobody was physically hurt, is a good thing. The tactics and policies for law enforcement should absolutely be available to anyone, considering our tax dollars go towards these employees. Transparency is needed in order to help guarantee constitutional rights, as well as to know when individual rights have been violated. I'm not anti-law enforcement, I'm anti-corruption.
That's shifting the goal post.
Ergonomically I don't know a single language that is both trying to make you write secure and correct code without sacrificing ergonomics.

Building a chip is really hard, and the companies that have experience all have their own architecture that they like and no reason to make a high performance design that competes with their regular chips.
Hard disagree. Pycharm, Datagrip, and Rider are absolutely top notch applications.

Trying to limit birth rates is a tragedy of the commons (no individual in your community is incentivized to limit themselves), while trying to limit immigration is a competition between two commons (and thus cooperative within your community).
If you increased the cost of the GPU by the upper end of your estimate ($200), that's a 10% increase of the new top end GPU (MSRP $2000 for a RTX 5090). That seems significant... until you realize that that 10% is what would prevent that $2000 GPU from turning into a ruined $0 brick when the connector inevitably melts. All of a sudden, that 10% increase seems like a bargain.
If you follow IRC ( code book )building a home can be entirely prescriptive with 0 engineering. This is what I did since I'm not a structural engineer and I didn't have money for engineered plans nor an architect.
> A professor I had in college, whose first published result was from a piece of homework he turned in where he incidentally solved an open question about bound on a problem, had a curious habit.

A related anecdote is about George Dantzig (perhaps best known for the simplex algorithm):

> During his study in 1939, Dantzig solved two unproven statistical theorems due to a misunderstanding. Near the beginning of a class, Professor Spława-Neyman wrote two problems on the blackboard. Dantzig arrived late and assumed that they were a homework assignment. According to Dantzig, they "seemed to be a little harder than usual", but a few days later he handed in completed solutions for both problems, still believing that they were an assignment that was overdue. Six weeks later, an excited Spława-Neyman eagerly told him that the "homework" problems he had solved were two of the most famous unsolved problems in statistics.

I haven't played around with hypervisors much but the whole point of k8s is not just isolation but all the primitives the control plane gives you which you don't need to implement. Things like StatefulSet, ReplicaSet, Volumes, HorizontalPodAutoscaler, Service, DNS, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Accounts, Roles, Permissions etc.

Also the container runtime which is containerd by default I believe can be switched out for micro vms like Firecracker (never done this though - not sure how painful it is).
From the envy of the world to the laughing stock
> How many people have done this, 1/100000? It's beyond the spectrum of things you should DIY.

Where I live, Western Australia, maybe 2% of adults that I know have been actively involved in building and or major rennovations of a house.

There are a lot of people here with serious trades backgrounds, many with rural backgrounds that'll tackle anything.

People here even build their own aircraft and quirky ground effect flying machines.

I've built three houses; two significant renno's (jacking up and replacing major structural elements), and one from foundations upwards.

My father's played a major role in three full builds (he's not a "builder by trade", just a former farm hand, shearer, five year navy, mining foreman, etc. type).

No. Kent explained in his transparently biased opinion why btrfs is fundamentally unfixable. Which include such gems as "they wrote it too fast to get it right" (opinion much?) and "it has more code than XFS" (FS that tries to do more has more code is bad?). Many people, including people who just might know a few things about filesystems, have addressed his claims, both in detail and in the large. Now, I am in absolutely no position to objectively evaluate the detailed claims of dueling filesystem gurus, but having read quite a bit, I do feel pretty confident in thinking "it's complicated" and "btrfs for all its issues certainly isn't the flaming shitshow Kent really, really wants everyone to believe it is".

Personally I had always hoped that Fleet was intended to be sort of a lightweight editor in the same arena as notepad++ or sublime.
A model where a business that makes money off of the public data, after a certain time or amount of money a fee schedule kicks in where they pay back into the system seems like it would make sense.

I just don't see it. WASM requires throwing away all the decades of x86/ARM compiler work in ecosystems like Java, .NET and C++ and placing all trust in the WASM runtime/V8 to perform as well as them.
Depends what part you mean.

AWS Fargate / Lambda are Firecracker VMs. EC2 are normal VMs.
Forgive me but I've heard the heralding new age nay revolution of wasm is coming anyday now and it hasn't and probably won't.

I don't doubt that wasm has potential, but personally I imagine more esoteric use cases as the go to than necessarily the replacement for containers (where my money is more on unikernel).
Last fall, Josh Renaud gave a presentation to the Atlanta Historical Computing Society about rescuing and researching cartoonist Ya'akov Kirschen's unique computer games and software.

In the 1980s, Kirschen managed to get splashy publicity for several of his projects, but none of it was commercially successful, and after several decades it was mostly forgotten and lost.

This AHCS talk gets into Kirschen's history, the making of the games, and highlights some unique Atlanta connections to the games.

What is the reason the spec keeps specifying next to no headroom? Clearly that was the fundamental problem with 12VHPWR and it's being repeated with 12V2X6.

Any engineer worth his salt knows that you should leave plenty of headroom in your designs, you are not supposed to stress your components to (almost) their maximum specifications under nominal use.
Bold idea, requiring startups to proactively prove they have not broken the law. Should we apply it to all tech startups? Let’s see silicon startups prove they have not stolen trade secrets!
> Really would like to see more safety margin with 14 gauge wire.

The wire itself really isn't the issue, the NEC in the US is notoriously cautious and 15A continuous is allowed on 14AWG conductors. Poor connectors that do not ensure good physical contact is a real problem here, and I really fail to understand the horrid design of the 12VHPWR connector. We went decades with traditional PCIe 2x6 and 2x6 power connectors with relatively few issues, and 12VHPWR does what over them? Save a little bulk?

We're here for human interaction, it's pretty condescending to tell someone to "Google it".
I think I'm confused by the box about "jj abandon", which (unlike all the other boxes) talks about "edits" rather than "files" -- which must be a deliberate choice because the legend at the bottom lists "edits" and "files" separately.

Shouldn't "edits" be attached to the arrows rather than the nodes in the graphs? So not r [edit3] --> q [edit2] --> p [edit1] but r --[edit3]--> q --[edit2]--> p --[edit1]--> o, where o is p's predecessor. (I think you could do without "edit1" here.)

And then "jj abandon q", if I'm understanding it right, turns r --[edit3]--> q --[edit2]--> p into r --[edit3]--> p.

(I am not certain I've understood the official docs for "jj abandon" correctly, so it's very possible that I'm wrong about what it does, in which case obviously the above is wrong. But whatever it does, if you're distinguishing "files" from "edits", surely the "edits" go on the edges rather than the nodes of the revision-graph.)

I mean, yes, we can always choose to shrink the American economy and cause a recession or depression. We can certainly go down that path. It's just not a path most probably want to go down.
You are missing the forest for the trees. This is an aerospace vehicle capable of flying in the air indefinitely. How many drones can you fit on a vehicle? How many vehicles can you fly at once? 60 miles is already reachable by the cheapest and most deadly weapon class of short-range drones. And now all they need to do is fall down. At freefall that is 140 seconds until it reaches the ground.
One advantage of containers is that run lots of software with it. Take old Perl application, wrap it in container, and then run in the cloud. Keep that old binary application that somehow lost the source for.

Also, I think most uses of containers lose the advantage of WASM. WASM is about running on any platform, great for browsers and serverless. But containers are usually run in controlled environment where can compile once and not pay the penalty of compiling each time.

My server survived multiple drive failures. ZFS on FreeBSD with mirroring. Simple. Robust. Effective. Zero downtime.

Don’t know about disk batches, though. Took used old second hand drives. (Many different batches due to procurement timelines.) Half of them was thrown out because they were clicky. All were tested with S.M.A.R.T. Took about a week. The ones that worked are mostly still around. Only a third of the ones that survived S.M.A.R.T. have failed so far.
That was beautifully written.

There are an estimated 50 sextillion (5*10^22) habitable earth-like planets in the observable universe. On average they're 1.8 billion years older than Earth. Think about the implications of this for a minute. We don't see green space men, but that's not how we would expect life forms billions of years more advanced than us to appear. The entire universe must be suffused with intelligence, and if that's so, doesn't that suggest there is more to life than what you see on the surface? I find this conclusion inescapable when considering the size and age of the universe. There is more to life than meets the eye. How could it be otherwise?
