A company I worked at acquired a competing company for their customer base before I started. I believe there was integration of a pricing service into the newly acquired business' system as well as point of sale system updates that could talk to both backends, but there was strong motivation here to have uninterrupted service and to keep costs low. Before too long the acquired company's systems were phased out and all customers were migrated to the new systems.

It's not really accurate to say that we can't go back to the moon. Setting aside the fact that there have been a number of successful unmanned lunar missions in recent years, whenever your point gets made, it usually glosses over why people make that claim.

The immediate answer is that we simply weren't interested in supporting major new manned missions. Manned spaceflight in general requires serious, ongoing political support across administrations. At the height of the space race, public support pretty much never rose above 50 percent in the United States.[1] The literal high mark was 53% immediately after Apollo 11 successfully landed on the moon, which is honestly mind-boggling to think about. We've completely white-washed the existence of serious political opposition[1] to the Apollo program that plagued it from the beginning to the end because--looking back--it seems almost absurd, as if the very idea that half the country had no interest in going to the moon is an insult to the American psyche.

It's honestly amazing that we managed to follow up with the Space Shuttle at all. The STS program was shaped by a great many compromises NASA had to make in order to elicit political
and military support. John Logsdon's After Apollo is a wonderful read on the subject.

Anyhow, it's not like we can't go back. It's not like orbital mechanics changed on us at some point and now we're all stuck in LEO. It's just a political choice, and we can make a new one whenever we want. It's just hard, in large part because we don't have the cold war and constant fear of imminent nuclear war to push the program through congress.

Beyond the political, to go back means redesigning everything that was done for Apollo. That's not a slight on American engineering or manufacturing capabilities. Everything--from the Saturn V, to the lunar module, and the countless pieces of equipment that helped get both where they needed to go--was designed for the manufacturing capabilities and techniques of the 1960s. You can't just grab the plans for the old Rocketdyne F-1 and start building them anew. The welds alone[2] represent a fundamental shift in capabilities and thinking. Common CAD design and analysis programs would have had Apollo engineers singing in the hallways in joy once they got over the shock.

They took what they had, and they made it work brilliantly. Change that context, and they would have designed a different engine, and the same goes for everything else.

Since when does IT tell corporate what to do?

You and I both know that corporate calls the shots, and if they tell someone to do this, and that's not their field of expertise, they'll need their hand held.

There are plenty of non-profits and other orgs that have IT staff of 1, and that guy is IT because he knows how to format a word doc.

Your argument is a bit disingenuous.
This might be a little over my head, but i'm not understanding how the balanced parenthesis is conveying anything other than the topology of the tree structure. Are we not accounting for the bits required for a pointer in memory to an object? Or simply the bits required to guarantee the uniqueness of a node in the tree?
This is a very interesting compilation of various approaches to the cryptographic time-lock problem. The Bitcoin idea is particularly enticing, even if impractical, since the idea of using the Bitcoin blockchain as a relatively tamper proof "timer" feels like something that could be made to work in practice.

One gap though is that the opening example is the idea of creating an insurance file that is publicly decryptable at a certain date if a particular real-world condition exists, like the file's author being kidnapped or whatever. But to make that work in practice you need not just time-lock encryption, but resetable time-lock encryption where it's possible to delay the release of the time-lock if that condition has not been met. I can see why the examples don't tackle that since even the basic problem seems unsolved, much less a tunable version of it, but it's a very interesting thought exercise.

So with the overlay you can make node-specific changes? I was reading through the initial setup guide but I couldn't figure out how you actually specify which node gets which overlays (or one-off edits of whatever kind).

If you can find evidence supporting the useless information you posted, I'm intrigued.

LLMs are not sources of information and never will be. No one cares what ChatGPT thinks about anything. It's not helpful to post that, and especially not to then act like it's correct unless someone else has proof otherwise.

We had the same issue years ago where google seemed to be crawling/indexing new subdomains it finds in emails.
Bidirectional seq2seq models are usually more accurate than unidirectional models.

However, autoregressive models that generate one token at a time are usually more accurate than parallel models that generate multiple tokens at a time.

In diffusion LLMs, both of these two effects interact. You can trade them off by determining how many tokens are generated at a time, and how many future tokens are used to predict the next set of tokens.
I think this is largely a consequence of the escalating commoditization of human attention, political polarization, marketing yadda yadda.

Communities disperse, and are drawn to solutions that make them a little trickier to bot into and be absorbed by the marketing apparatus. A little friction that makes it harder for sock puppets / gpt bots carpet bombing your communities wholesale is an ephemeral competitive advantage right now. Not a perfect defense, but what is anymore? Is it even possible to build an effective captcha now?

Tell you what would really gum them up, make some communities require people buy a physical X$ RSA token. Sure you could make bots for that, but how long to automate the unboxing of those tokens? It could become an arms race where the packaging becomes the captcha.

Some humans are going to always try to keep moving ahead of the noise wavefront. I'm rooting for them.

Wanting all things to be index-able these days kind of feels like asking early 90's internet kids to be normal and go hang out at the mall.
> If it is on DNS, it is discoverable.

In the context of what OP is asking this is not true. DNS zones aren't enumerable - the only way to reliably get the complete contents of the zone is to have the SOA server approve a zone transfer and send the zone file to you. You can ask if a record in that zone exists but as a random user you can't say "hand over all records in this zone". I'd imagine that tools like Cloudflare that need this kind of functionality perform a dictionary search since they get 90% of records when importing a domain but always seem to miss inconspicuously-named ones.

> Even if it were not, the message you pasted says outright that they scan the entire IP space, so they could be hitting your server's IP without having a clue there is a subdomain serving your stuff from it.

This is likely what's happening. If the bot isn't using SNI or sending a host header then they probably found the server by IP. The fact that there's a heretofore unknown DNS record pointing to it is of no consequence. *EDIT: Or the Cert Transparency log as others have mentioned, though this isn't DNS per se. I learn something new every day :o)
Just an opportunity to learn!
Serious question: Do you really think that Cloudflare is trying to keep these kinds of thing private? If so, I'd suggest that's not a reasonable expectation.
Yes good point I probably should add info. I made it as a hobby project. It was created with notagen

I think these models would get interesting at extreme scale. Generate a novel in 40 iterations on a rack of GPUs.

My question was mostly rhetorical and sort of a jab at GP, who was probably alluding to China - a country that, perhaps ironically, should be considered a stable trade partner. After all, China has been a nation of merchants from time immemorial.

That said, what you describe does make a lot of sense. While a country should keep some level of local industries to avoid getting completely deindustrialized, it does make sense to look for new trade partners in situation such as this.

Isolationism just doesn't work in this day and age. Advanced economies are very complex beasts, and international trade makes it possible. No one country can produce everything an advanced economy needs.

To me that's an odd position to take, ultimately if the user is using Mozilla's root CA list then they're trusting Mozilla to determine which certs should be valid. If non-browser programs using the list are trusting certs that Mozilla says shouldn't be trusted then that's not a good result.

Now of course the issue is that the information can't be encoded into the bundle, but I'm saying that's a bug and not a feature.

The grain, in terms of weight, is 64.8 milligrams, or much more than a even a course grain of sand, which it turns out, is somewhere around 1 milligram, ranging from 0.04 mg for fine sand to 4 mg for very course sand, average around 0.3.
I know many scientists in the hard sciences, some have already been laid off, others are in a holding pattern with funding frozen while they wait to see how things shake out. No one is just carrying on without any negative impact. I don't know where your rosy view of things is coming from, but it is completely wrong. The entire scientific establishment is going to be dealing with the repercussions of this for a long time to come.

Yes, PowerPoint is orders of magnitude easier, because it is a GUI-based app that's fully WYSIWYG with snap guides for aligning items. HTML + CSS is non-WYSIWYG and that alone will weed out a good 50% of the Word/PPT/Excel crowd.

RE: Real-time Speech-To-Text, the audio is streamed using Agora's low latency SDRTN and the the Conversational AI Engine joins the stream and handles the STT and passes the text as input to the LLM of a developers choosing (using either OpenAI standard or Gemini).

RE: Text-To-Speech, thats a setting when initializing the Conversational AI Engine. It handles streaming the LLM's output text to the developer's TTS provider and handles piping that audio stream back into the Agora stream.

The latency is very low, and the Voice Activity Detection is configurable (even defaults are on-point).
On a ~80 year scale you'd be correct for some of the world. But if you live in the "wrong" part of the world even in the last 80 years, just one "build muscle and heal injuries recklessly" may have resulted in more damage than good, coz the "grocery store" doesn't exist.

The problem is also that if you "adapt fast" to "recklessness", then many people die fast before they would not be able to adapt back if necessary.

Got wounded in a conflict zone cut off from supplies for months? Too bad, coz your body adapted to grocery store being close and unfortunately your body decided to just never put on weight in the first place, so now you have zero reserves to use up and ... you die.

Watch "Alone". Some of the guys are adapted to never put on much weight and that's a real problem for them. They have a TV show safety net. If it was real, they'd be dead.

It depends on your goals.

Speedrunners, for instance, often prefer very specific releases of games, because they rely on glitches that have since been fixed.

Sometimes the latest rev a dev shipped before falling off the planet has game-changing behaviors, like stripping all the licensed music because you lost the license.
I worked near PKU (Microsoft China) and lived in Chaoyang (Sanyuan Xiqiao/Tuanjiehu), but I really don't see how Haidian and Chaoyang were very different in AQI. We ultimately left because my wife got pregnant and the air still wasn't clean enough for a baby. I remember every night in the winter when we decided to or not to go for a walk at night based on the current AQI reading (come on honey, its only 200 2.5 pmi tonight!), so I feel like it didn't really get better in the winter, or maybe I was just fixating on it given our circumstances.
Yup, they lost all the sea-level Raptors plus one vacuum Raptor, leaving it with very asymmetrical thrust and no thrust vector control. That sent it into a spin, which likely disrupted propellant flow to the other two engines and caused them to flame out.

Multiple sources have confirmed observing the ship blow up. I find it interesting that this anomaly happened right after they called out FTS safe, so the ship couldn't automatically destroy itself when it began tumbling.
In what sense are they “better”?
Military arson is a great example.

Conflagration has been successfully implemented against enemies since, well before, the sentence: '...like a madman hurling firebrands, arrows and death...' was ever uttered.

A firebrand is a stick with a flaming top. The arrows spoken of were tar or pith coated arrows shot inside of fortifications, to set them ablaze. Death referred to potted death. These were clay pots filled with all sorts of flammable and spreading substances. It was known as death because if the goop attached to a human, that human would immolate.

These tactics were highly effective in displacing, removing, and killing enemies. Bombs are orders of magnitude more effective.

The comment and ensuing discussion was about enemies upon the shores of the US, and whether or not the US Military and US Citizenry would utilize bombs on its own lands.

Certainly. Absolutely. Without hesitation.

Bombs work. Bombs work well. Bombs have exceedingly high return value on their production and use, compared to boots. Boots are costly. Bombs... Not as much.
Port scanning usually can't discover subdomains. Most servers don't expose the of the domains they server content for. In case of HTTP they usually only serve the subdomain content if the Host: request-header includes it.
It was this whole weird thing around no posters from west being physically available and local posters being sourced locally. But also, all the weird contrarian artists were not allowed to practice their art unless sanctioned by the state. So, a lot of them who would normally do classic art, would instead do posters, which were overlooked for the most part.

I know this because I’m here in Poland, have family collecting these posters since 70’s and yeah, they’re totally incompatible with marketing/advertising practices. Also, saw them all over Lucasarts building in SF.

Highly recommmend looking up my two favorites “Pągowski” and “Wałkuski”. Really, movie marketing concerns were of no interests to these artists, this only just happened to be a coincidence.

> Taxes usually take money out of the economy

This is an oversimplification, they can change incentives, and sometimes increase investment.

> lead to less activity

I do agree money will be divested from the US as they become more and more expensive to deal with (leading to "less activity"), and like I said this will rechannel the economy between the rest of the world. The trade-off is that the US becomes a manufacturer and exporter again (leading to "replaced activity"), some manufacturing capability is duplicated (leading to "more activity" though redundant/less productive), and the currency devalues.

But I'll admit I'm well out of my depth here, and I'm being booed off the stage. All the same, I don't think I'm wrong here. Protectionism isn't new, and lots of countries do it, it's just novel that the world's largest economy and bastion of free trade is doing it to such an extreme.

Does the IP address for that subdomain have a DNS PTR record set? If it does, someone can discover the subdomain by querying the PTR record for the IP.
I think you've overstated housing costs, as crazy as that sounds. The places with really high rent pay more and also see people get with roommates. So the average rent/mortgage is not the same as the average person's housing expenses.

Most people cannot afford to save a lot of money for retirement, especially while paying into Social Security or other government programs. But that has never been possible in the entire world, and it generally still isn't. Even in cases where it was, such as the boomers, it still didn't really happen. To be fair the boomers fully expected that their taxes would go toward Social Security in their old age.
Nice and I'll try it out, but I can't help but to wonder what about all of the open-source Slack alternatives like Ferdi, Franz, Rambox, etc. Is it just because Slack is just no longer in vogue that there's a market for this?

I never cared for the "learning how to learn" line. We start from infancy and learn to walk and talk, albeit in that very special way. We are always learning, every day.

For me personally, earning by bachelor's and master's degree was a continuation of K-12 and I made sure to be a top performer. The looming debt was the underlying, motivating factor.

Looking back, I learned most outside after K-12 was done for the day and I was free to explore and get hurt.
No, but if doing that leads people to conclude that they need to move in with roommates, that might be preferable. Roommates are certainly a great way to reduce expenses. It has downsides but it is what many poor people in other countries do naturally.
Most servers just listen on :80 and respond to all requests. Almost nobody checks the host header intentionally, it's just a happy mistake if they use a reverse proxy.

You can often decloak servers behind Cloudflare because of this.

But OP's post already answered their question: someone scanned ipv4 space. And what they mean is that a server they point to via DNS is receiving requests, but DNS is a red herring.
