What's wrong with the VW bus?

Zen. It's great but apparently not a maintenance handbook.

Oh thanks, overlooked that one.

They don’t, I guess

My house has a newer adjacent part with its own roof, pretty isolated from the old house. But I had mice on both attics. Finding their way from one attic to the other was the easiest part. But I needed infrared camera surveillance to figure where they entered the building. From the footage it was pretty clear that they never stayed long in the new attic. They entered through the new building, climbed up to the attic, than traversed to the old attic where they probably did all kinds of mouse things including raising their offspring.

Ah I did not know the pheromone part. So it could be a completely unrelated clan that moves in next time.

In older houses it is nearly impossible to find all entries… they can climb, and will even enter through the roof.

Also, for a single Country getting the capabilities might be a plus but if some 100+ countries have nuclear weapons, all countries are in a worse position than today. This is a sub zero sum game.

Just curious, you poisoned them once and no mice returned ever since? In my house I had mice during the cold/wet season. Attempts to get rid of the population by killing them were futile. (House is now free of mice though. I secured every single possibility to get in during the summer. I read some mice can get through gaps that are 1 cm or .4 inches wide.)

The moment they‘d stop development would put marketing and sales in a very dire position, regardless of how good gpt 5.5 is.

Sure, but being able to pay for inference and nothing but inference out of revenue leads to what end?

Probably a mix of all parts, also in Africa there are hospitals you would certainly try to avoid if you can.

Is it legal to let people suffer or even die at the ER on Kenya if they don’t happen to carry a few k$?

I did not know COBOL compiles to WASM until I read your comment and looked it up, thanks!

Who is going to write tests? But I like the fact that this approach implicitly approves of the stochastic parrot model. I mean, given enough computing power and sufficiently well made tests, I could just generate random strings of increasing length until one compiles into a program that passes all tests, mission accomplished. Like one million apes typing on one million typewriters.

I have worked a fair share of that kind of jobs in the past. The colleagues on my level who cared about more than being paid and not getting fired where the absolute majority. People want to belong. They want to work. The ones who are the exception of the rule can be seeded out pretty quickly. You do not work for an organisation for 10+ years, wake up one day and switch to pure opportunism.

As for incompetent management, that problem can not be solved by churning workers. It can only be solved by better career paths and selection processes for management roles. The most intelligent people in an organisation are often more interested in getting things done than getting more power.

Fair enough. A paper map and the ability to navigate offline would be a nice backup, too. Not that I wouldn’t use GPS in distress.

What I don’t need doesn’t need to live unencrypted in my RAM. Of course I do. It is standard behaviour of iOS, and of a lot of password managers. If someone grabs my laptop and runs, at least they can’t capture my hn account.

Instead of having an open port in my router and sending data in plain text, I would use an ssh tunnel or a vpn. Or probably put the entire web site on the VPS.

If a significant share of your employees optimise in the sense of doing the least of work possible, without getting fired, you have a huge problem anyways. Usually, given the right conditions, people have intrinsic interest in doing a good job. Even if their motivation is more of the extrinsic type, there is more to it than getting paid.

That is redundancy in my book. I don’t expect holes in my GNSS devices. And if you want to be sure, bring three, because two GNSS units with different readings are not very helpful.

All true, but it is still bad style. There is no need to keep decrypted passwords in memory the user hasn’t even used in the session (or after they logged in to a certain website).

The Swiss cheese model is what people use to sell you more 'security' related software systems that inherently involve more problems. (Also cheese is not very durable, even the kind without holes.)

For lora applications or in general?

Not on the 2.4 GHz band though

The release bearing might not be

The 'hardest' endurance sport is of course rowing which is not included in the survey.

Fair

Plus mechanical release mechanisms of heavier machinery were often designed in a way that the clutch snaps at a certain point (also in order to reduce wear in the clutch).

I once changed a broken release bearing of a truck. It was a relatively simple repair but the very heavy gearbox has to be taken out to do this - which is problematic especially if done on a yard without proper equipment.

Since then I always pop into neutral when standing at a traffic light. It is interesting how many people in manual driving cultures think there would be no wear and tear if they press the pedal down completely.

Of course there is, as there has to be a force translating connection between rotating parts and parts of the release mechanism which cannot rotate. Only when the pedal is left alone, the release bearing disconnects from the rotating clutch.

Like municipalities, companies have domains. So in short, yes, if you have a list of domains of the population you are interested in. The DNS tells which server handles incoming email, that is public information. The detection part (who is the provider, what kind of system do they use) can be trickier. You have probably noted the confidence levels given if you click on a certain municipal body. It could be fingerprinting, standard tool to do this would be nmap, or interpretation of the DNS responses, or a combination, or something else (like sending emails and hoping for a response that tells something about the system it went through).
