Wololooo

Wouldn't be the first nor the last time someone is asked to ship something and it gets rushed through for reasons XYZ...

This being said makes the situation for an attacker awfully convenient...

To cite one, Okami, innovative gameplay, striking art very poor sales, they made most of their sales after the fact after the studio closed and the game got ported to other systems than the PS2.

I mean, it's 99% sure this was supposed to be a debug feature...

Unions are a normal thing to happen to guarantee a check of balances, we are used to systems they have their feedback loop, if you have a one sided relationship you cannot have balance because one side will always try to push in their direction.

The tug between management and unions is the balance.

If you consider that safety is something that is impeding, you have never truly worked at scale nor considered what happens when accident happens, safety is to ensure continuous, painless operation, not impede it and is a baseline condition for trust which is essential to move fast.

People are doing so because the math is not mathing.

Assuming that all the claims are true, this would lead to a collapse under its own weight, because at that point, supposedly, most people won't be needed in the jobs they currently occupy.

Assuming the claims aren't true, there will be a reckoning where all the glitter thrown will hit the ground and people that invested would like to have their marbles back at whatever the cost.

I'd be betting on the latter rather than the former. BECAUSE all those companies are RUSHING for an IPO because none of them want to be left with the bag.

Just for the sake of comparison and to put things in perspective, just for the spaceX situation, running a datacenter is no easy task and require significant maintenance and supporting infrastructure, now you're going to tell me that you can achieve the same and even more in space where virtually everything is more complicated to achieve? And you're telling me that your entire business, or at least a big majority of it, will be this entirely unproven infrastructure? Seems like a bit of a stretch to me...

Now this being said, somehow some things may lie in the middle, but people seem to be a bit either too fond of the claims or too aggressive towards some part of the tech stack.

Waste is waste, if you end up using 2 to 4 times the filament (depending on the number of colour change) it's still something to account for.

This might seems like a lot but this is the reality of the system.

If I remember everything is open hardware, CERN should have those repo accessible, last time I used it it was still very much in dev, especially their PCIe cards with custom kernel. This being said, I haven't touched it since ~6 years ago...

Joking apart, the whole thing was both an exercise in madness and genius. Sometimes I wonder what he would have done if he had not gone crazy. We will never know...

4. When the whole thing implodes, because at that point you need to keep the balance sheet as green as possible.

Ever been next to an electric arc discharging? The odour you can smell is Ozone.

As an educator I always make a point to give the resources to the students and or give avenues to it that are not paywalled.

Knowledge is the only resource that only becomes greater the more is shared because people share back what they learned. Mind you this only works if people are paying it forward. But often the educator gets more from teaching than the student does.

We? I don't think I've seen anyone but the people absolutely not understanding the gravity of the situation were cheering on. And I'm not even American.

I mean, jokes are made to uplift, intent in joking is important and punching up is preferable to punching down, this being said this didn't apply to chuck Norris that would have already got to the punchline without throwing a single fist.

Boy, do I have news for you!

But joking apart, almost everything is connected and calling home these days...

I may have a bad news for you...

Or even daily hindrance if you happen to live next to the datacenter...

I think everyone could use some of that boring times run of the mill situation.

The last 20 years have been... eventful to say the least...

TV also had a social aspect that internet does not have by construction: You had the same program on only a few TV channels and this was funneling people to talk about similar things or have discussions about the previous day show.

These things rarely happen organically anymore unless "forced" in one way or the other...

Which funnily is the dumbest thing ever. Because in order to use the currency you need to exchange it which means that you need input and outputs, you slightly obfuscate that but in the crypto chain everything is saved, so everything is traceable forever. Slip up once when extracting or get your wallet involved in unsavoury interactions and you're done. It's not a matter of if but a matter of when...

This is the most "I've got mine" statement that I have seen these past months.

It's not because it was "OK" so far that it is going to be OK moving forward, it's just kicking the can down the road and hope for a miracle, and they have done this since people have wondered about greenhouse gases (and this happened very early on).

Note that most of the issues we will be facing was not because of all the conveniences, but just because doing things in a way that was sustainable and/or more regulated would have hit the bottom line of big oil...

At the end of the day, it will not matter whose pockets were lined when there is no more food to feed people...

Impossible projects with impossible deadlines seems to be the norm and even when people pull them off miraculously the lesson learned is not "ok worked this time for some reason but we should not do this again", then the next people get in and go "it was done in the past why can't we do this?"

The problem is even if you make a note to fix it later, one you never get back to it and two this drives decisions for things around it, until it breaks...

And I mean... They're not wrong.

I use a Mac for work, but also use windows and Linux machines.

The best experience hands down when it comes to specific things would be Linux, for very niche things because it's way less clunky than it used to and people have figured things out in the meantime.

My mac is the only system that I can mount (without too much pain because people have figured it out) any filesystem, I can virtually open every document from Mac to Windows to Linux. I have something close to package control with homebrew. The M chips are ridiculously good at both being decently performant while low energy consumption.

Sure it has its host of issues and I would be the first one in line to dunk on Apple for many many... many many, reasons, but there are things to like with their laptops...

In comparison, recently, Windows has been more and more aggressive towards their users and their data, attempting to lock people in for some spreadsheet editor... Gone are the days of Lotus1-2-3...

Again, if they had anything worth in the pipeline, Sora wouldn't have been a thing...

Did the need raise through the use of silicon X ray detectors that improved the handling of images and reduced the time needed to get done imaging meaning that it made it faster, cheaper and less cumbersome, increasing the number of requests for X ray imaging?

And if I'd have to wager anyone that dare speaking out would be labelled antifa, therefore a terrorist, therefore free for all from a law enforcement perspective...

Things are going downhill at an impressive pace... Not going to lie watching the Trainwreck in slow motion is entertaining in a sort of morbid way. Though I wished that it wouldn't go that way...

When it comes to very complicated things, physics tends to fall down and we need to try non-physics modeling, and/or come up with non-physics abstraction.

"When things are complicated, if I just dream that it is not complicated and solve another problem than the one I have, I find a great solution!"

Joking apart, models that can help target potentially very interesting sub phase space much smaller than the original one, are incredibly useful, but fundamental understanding of the underlying principles, allowing to make very educated guesses on what can and cannot be ignored, usually wins against throwing everything at the wall...

And as you are pointing out, when the complex reality comes knocking in it usually is much much messier...

I would prefer something that doesn't phone home and can work offline. Opensource firmware/software and repairability are important.

Bambulabs is out.

While I agree with you, not every channel is big and some of the smaller ones might rely partially on this in order to get materials/sponsorship in order to be able to have the parts to do some projects they make videos on because it is more a passion project and they might barely break even or even make losses on doing it.

The context that I am thinking about is, for example, a small hobbyist that might rely on the added value for making some odd things, requiring exotic hardware, quantities of materials that could be prohibitively expensive or the lend of access to said hardware might be blocked behind viewership metrics, and there this might make some difference, and I personally enjoy those little odd channels and this is why I, as a viewer, might care about it. But again, I totally see where you are coming from.

Zero days off, zero breaks, 7 days a week.

The worst part is that you're going to have someone unironically come with this.
