When there is a need (remote space colonies for example), they might need to develop a more robust process that would trade off size and speed of chips for ease of manufacturing.

To be fair, making wood utensils from scratch is multiple orders of magnitude easier than not being poor.

Car traffic might be reduced per capita in higher density areas, but all of it is concentrated and is right near all the people. Multiply by the sirens of ambulance and police that are constantly going somewhere. Compare to a dead-end suburb street which only 5-10 cars have any reason for driving at all.

Those black rubber playgrounds (not sure if that's the same) smell like a chemical factory exhaust on a sunny day (you can also fry some industrial-solvent-laden eggs). Not sure about actual health effect, but experience is far from pleasant...

China is doing pretty well on that front, yeah...

I share all the reservations about this flavor of "safety", but I think you misunderstand who gets protected from what here. It is not safety for the end user, it is safety for the corporation providing AI services from being sued.

Can't really blame them for that.

Also, you can do what you want on your computer and they can do what they want on their servers.

Humans _are_ inherently "made human" by a long path of evolution. We have a set of conflicting heuristics that serve as our initial values and which are more helpful than harmful on average. We then use those to build our moral patchwork.

If you already have a plugin hybrid and a good portion of your trips is under its EV range, why would you need an EV anyway?

I don't think that release was a surprise to the board, so wouldn't that happen before the release?

That's an aquatic beetle, a lot of those store their own air supply under their wings...

No, it is just people who are trying to do something would achieve more in that area than people who are not trying, regardless of conditions. You could change things so that trying is not really required, and it might work wonderfully if the barrier was made up to begin with, but that fails hard when that clashes with reality.

Why don't you focus on that instead?

"German energy policy of the last two decades" and "Let's Invade Ukraine and Blackmail Europe!"

There is a good argument that those two are related. Energy is a weapon of war for russia, and it works best when there is a dependency on it. A lot of money flows towards increasing that dependency, including towards advocacy groups with irrational stance against nuclear.

He does have a point about food animals though. We are perfectly ok with treating them horribly their whole lives to save few cents on the costs (not to mention killing them at all). Yet we pretend to be shocked when something that makes us feel squeamish happens. And then go right back to chewing on that steak...

That's not much different than supplying other kinds of weapons (and anti-ship missiles are on the list anyway, if not from US then from UK).

Also everybody is mostly over nuclear threat I think. When a nuclear country keeps annexing land and threatens you with nukes if you object, you have two options -- keep giving up or call the bluff (or assassinate the leadership I guess).

Another option for #4 is supplying enough long range anti-ship rockets to sink whole russian fleet in black sea. They can't bring in more ships, because turkey is blocking the entrance.

They are aircraft that is cheaper than anti-aircraft rockets normally used. One shot from anti-aircraft system cost 50-200k depending. This is great when the target costs 50 million, but drones costs start from 1k.

Don't expect him to be _able_ to play hero even if he wanted.

I'm no fan of the invasion, but "the war had already been planned and decided months ago" is not an argument you might think it is -- NATO stuff was going on pretty much since USSR dissolution, and 2014 stuff with Crimea was first act in the same war, in response to regime change on Ukraine and some progress in shelf oil development there that threatened Russia's hold on EU markets.

Well, I've seen hilarious translations in official versions too. RAM translated as "Male sheep" on android system info screen for example.

Adblocking works just fine on mobile too, with a few more jumps, at least on adnroid.

I just looked at my AWS account and there seems to be a way to set budget, attach alerts to it and attach actions to alerts. For example there is an action to stop EC2 instances. Not sure if other AWS services have something similar, but at least you can kill your instances if something weird happens.

Actions weren't there last time I checked (few years ago).

I meant mostly in general.

For this particular case obviously previous packages didn't show it clearly enough. And yes, if you give thousands of 3rd party devs (or anybody snatching their credentials) direct access to your build machines or production systems, you should absolutely expect some of them to be unstable in all kinds of ways.

Insider problem is hard enough to guard against when you know the people involved.

Malice or selling out is not even required. Malware groups are perfectly capable of getting access to maintainer credentials themselves if needed.

Well, do you want bad security practices changed because of a prank that hit millions of machines or because of a cryptolocker that did the same?

We should encourage old-style prank hacking.

That justifies using something like rollup or webpack to bundle all your dependencies into one huge file to make a "static build" of sorts. Then you can at least do a cursory check for anything obviously bad in the changes, if tree-shaking works well enough.

It leaves vulnerabilities open until next release, but deals with direct attacks.

Like they say: "In the end, average temperature in the hospital is approaching room temperature."

For arbitrage to be entirely fair, if a company can easily hire from 2 places, workers should be able to move between those places just as easily. So subunits of the same country if fair game, but countries must not be, unless both countries have effectively open borders with each other.

Expect the most generic "feedback" they can get away with.

"I'm sorry, we don't think you are a cultural match for our company".

It would make sense that pre-existing heart issues would be worsened by vaccine that has heart complications. Similar to how covid itself is much more deadly with pre-existing comorbidities while being mostly harmless for healthy young people.

The site is not called "asylum" for nothing I suppose...
