The physical threat model of the Nebraska option does not rely on the tyranny of the rocket to keep intruders away.

One contributing factor I experience is that keeping competent, opinionated, leadership who are a good fit is an expensive proposition, and the "hold fast" position will always be challenged by whatever board is scrutinizing the budget/plan/forecast. The only play where no top brass has to catch a parachute is to bring in a consultant to scrutinize the business, read the crystal ball, and pitch a plan to weather the coming storm. Medicare funds are dust in the wind, Covid-era opportunities are dead and over, and the big axe has swung so much it needs sharpening. None of these are easy decisions to make and the result of "we're still doing what we're doing" is success.

Most foods taken from nature will still rot in their naturally-sealed forms. Pressure canned foods last a long time but use far more robust and energy intensive processes than a thin layer of wax and "the way that it is" to seal and stabilize the contents.

Ferments could be an outlier but usually dance on the edge of rot by design and can last longer than the raw cabbage or milk or meat they start from, but like honeycomb, they must be carefully stored.

Up-to-date Firefox on Linux allowed me to complete certification of a shipment of Jet fuel, no trouble all the way through.

Great concept and execution.

Thermal pollution is pollution.

Tilapia, because the grow-out plan is very well documented. I'd happily sacrifice growth rate for a fish with higher "desirability" factor, and perhaps a lower optimal temperature. I previously tried Bluegill and lost them, I think, due to stress from temperature variation. I'd like to try them again or go with Catfish. Catfish are the top species (for food, by weight) produced in the US, and they seem nearly as durable as Tilapia in small systems.

The pescalators sound great. There are so many tools like that where the application specifics ( species, system, life stage ) could make room for a scalpel-precise optimization of some tool, but the benefits would have to come from scale, and there just haven't been many first-movers ( or they keep quiet and defend the moat ) who seem poised to raise the tide for the whole industry. It is very ripe for the work you are doing to help the downstream gains over generations of stocks.

Cheers to you guys!

As a home aquaponics grower, I am really interested in the opportunity to develop tools that help this industry grow smarter. The impact to open-water fisheries can be undone if the markets can be affected to appreciate farm-raised fish for their quality.

I think there is such an incredible opportunity in the sector, and it probably looks a lot like any of the other sectors that have been augmented by data - gather giant piles of any measurable detail, and hope that after filtering you see a pattern that doesn't depend on your production environment running as many sensors ( or tensors ).

Last Thought: Fish transfer pumps are not only a thing, but one of the best ways to have the whole pond population march past your camera in a lighting environment where you have more control.

Cheers for this!

Thank you for sharing your story.

This is likely the closest thing to viable, some sort of mineral extraction permanent life insurance policy to protect the surrounding area and workers would go a long way toward safeguarding the wealth created from being swallowed in shareholder greed.

The main token in POSWID seems to apply to reasonably mature instances of S for which several passes have been taken through the build loop. Once someone has edited the thing, it is reasonable to assume that the outputs are the fruits of the intentions.

I would love to hear counterpoints -- The Sun Ray thin client experience seems interesting, but the modern version of that seems to be the web/app/cloud ecosystem we have now (where the load and storage of your interaction are resident on some other system, potentially freeing up your local device from resource needs). Specifically, a self-hosted collaborative model with Nextcloud + Collabora or similar. I do wonder what workloads or designs would be fit for a more "time-sharing" approach.

Before 1913, State's legislatures would elect their US Senators. Since 1913, Senators are directly elected but to longer terms than their peers in the House, as a way to make them less beholden to the whims of the zeitgeist and more stable in their consideration of "what serves the state" in that they do not face elections immediately and the results of their work are meant to be evaluated over a longer period. -- this is the intent, reality may bear out differently

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I fully expected this to be their entry into Kubernetes automation (brass instruments, pianos of all kinds, motorcycles, Outboard motors, Why not)

The magic here is that all of the components beg for this sort of thing as an obvious next step, but this seems to be done really well. The value is always in the integration of the component systems.

This is a huge factor, and heavily influenced by the purveyors of the technologies involved. A factor I hadn't realized that is implicated in this transition is the shift from the Teacher-led classroom to the device-led classroom. The teacher is no longer seen as the expert, the interpreter, the model figure of the subject when the laptop or tablet is the delivery tool. Students learn that the teacher is a facilitator, likely not up to date on the latest changes to the app interface, and not an authority on the subject.

Device-delivery instead of teacher-delivery puts the student first, even when the student knows nothing, and has zero impulse control.

So instead of modelling a productive and enriching data accessing environment, we're actually just tearing down the walls of the school and asking teachers to babysit the mayhem.

This is the sentiment completely.

My 34-year old base spec Chevrolet has digital controls for timing advance, fuel trim, and integrated Engine and Transmission Control Units. But my dash has some analog components ( fuel level is variable voltage instead of PWM ). The mechanics would all say that my truck is very simple, and "old school"

The Lay use of 'analog' is far removed from function. As long as there isn't a screen, it isn't seen to be digital. I studied photography in college and loved shooting film. I have a processing machine that is based on a 6502. When people would talk about non-digital things as analog it would bug me (One is chemical, and one is a computer).

This is the way.

I've seen a lot of hand-waving explanations of how boot-strapping happens (and granted it is very implementation-specific) but this is delightfully complete without veering off into the rough.

The higher cost of financing making people hold the cars they have has further reduced the supply.

I used to use that clip to inspire people to laugh instead of groan while troubleshooting, and I honestly understand that for a product manager, it’s the wrong answer. But for a huge section of the population who don’t have a ground truth against which to evaluate LLM slop or where the definitions are not clear enough, I see often the only measurable thing is time and therefore it becomes the benchmark of good.

It reminds me of the Pentium 4 vs Athlon XP days counting clock speed.

And this would be a white-label Epic MyChart for the particular system with embedding for the inpatient or customer facing connections that should be used

It seems like that could be done with a system shipping their own white-labeled GNU Health app through the App Store

Certainly both is the goal of the aquaponic setup. There are about 50 tilapia in it now, and a grow bed with lettuce and bok choi and similar greens. The plan is to add more plant space to accommodate the growth rate of the fish. When they’re small they eat less and support fewer plants, but as they grow I’ll need more plants to clean the water.

The greenhouse supports many other things, growing 100% of our food isn’t a goal, but supporting our food and having seasonal abundance to sell or give to neighbors is. We start more than we can use, and surplus in seasons is the goal.

Expand my aquaponic system and expand the monitoring and automation for it.

I have a lots of the parts I need, especially for the monitoring, but this iteration of the greenhouse required removing a lot of it, and it hasn’t been set back up.

Hey, simulating the hack is a lot better than using some canned tool with blatant knowbe4 urls.

I tried loading a csv from https://github.com/jadenzaleski/BibleTranslations as an alternate to the KJV included, but the json structure was different. Claude is working on a format converter tool, but paused for free tokens :/

I think I can see why you used the organization you have for your csv, did you roll that yourself or reference it from somewhere else?

be sure to buy such shoes with cash or the Amazon cart ( or CC data ) will lead back to you.

I understand the part where Intel is trying to get external customers interested in the output of their fab by exhibiting an implementation of an ARM processor.

In the past I understand that they did some custom implementation of Xeon cores for hyperscalers, but the meat and potatoes was the chip they designed.

Do we take this to mean that the current leadership assess the value proposition -of Intel- to be in the /making/ of the chips, akin to TSMC, and not in the /designing/ of them, as in all past seasons at Intel?

I suppose a key factor here is how far from reference this chip is. If they mean to innovate in ARM ISA territory, that's a development to ponder. But if this is a "we can also make those things" statement, I'm hearing bears in the woods.

it seems that you would remove the need to have a pump to build pressure, but you would still need a pump to move the product water ( perhaps creating the negative pressure on the outflow side of the membrane in the same step )

Way less energy, apart from the challenges of operating at depth. There would be power delivery constraints, and the basics of plumbing.
