It is not clearly healthier for the planet, at least not in terms of greenhouse gas emissions [1].

Rsync.net has a self-supported borg option that is a great deal.

New Zealand comes to mind as well.

Two cameras, and a huge amount of mostly not understood wetware interpreting their signals. Our current approaches to ML may be a local maxima. The true path to AGI be somewhere as yet undiscovered. Lidar certainly seems like a good tool to use given our current ML capabilities.

Yep, that is the point. Usually, there is no problem picking up the nickles. Every once in a while, you trip, bonk your head, pass out, then do your best impression of a sheet of paper.

Validating or creating blocks, which to be clear is _significantly_ less work than mining.

Because <space> is even easier to hit :)

Edit: also because I try and keep my keybinds as close to default as I can, and <space> is oddly underused.

This might be the right audience for this little vimrc tidbit:

    "Press space to highlight current word
    nnoremap <silent><space>
        \ :let @/='\<<C-R>=expand("<cword>")<CR>\>'<CR>:set hls<CR>

This works just like *, except that it leaves your cursor where it is. You can then use n/p/whatever as normal.

They are asymmetric because the are provisioned that way. IE it was done intentionally.

It’s high risk, low reward too. The upside is a small reduction in my monthly power bill. The downside is ...this. If you want griddy+calls, you can get that already in the form of a traditional electricity service.

It also physically moves very slowly, which gives the ancient processor time to keep up.

Considering that Perseverance is running your standard rad hardened PPC from the late 90's, I think that speaks a bit to the expected lifespan and importance of Ingenuity. If the POC goes well, I expect we will see hardened components in the next revision. Then again, if Ingenuity is doing anything too modern, I doubt a PPC 750 will be able to keep up.

I don’t like the walrus operator personally, but wtfpython has it wrong. It’s simply syntax for an expression that includes a binding. It parses like any other expression, and is completely unsurprising.

Mibi you just don't like them because they are new? You should gibi them a chance.

This is what it is like to work in defense. Having charge numbers for projects does not reduce meetings.

Don't just randomly pick numbers for a mac address. Make sure the bit 1 of the leftmost octet is set to 1, which indicates a "locally administered" mac address, and that bit 0 of that same octet is set to zero, which indicates a non-multicast address.

I like it. We don’t get anywhere without this sort of optimism.

I think you are overestimating people's interest in managing their own data.

You are going to want a high speed caching layer in there too.

TSMC is Taiwan. They aren't genociding.

Seems like a good guess.

I wonder what the privacy story is here?

I want my stuff to act smart, and I am happy to share my data to enable that. I just don't want the data I share to be used for anything other than making my software smart. I would be happy to pay, given the option. I am not ok with my data being used for advertisement.

Movie theaters (remember those?) usually have a door or two up by the screen that no one uses. Most of the time I have seen them lead out some weird hallway that goes directly outside. They usually aren't emergency exits either. All around pretty great.

Hey, I would prefer back ordering too. Looks like your model is confirmed 100% accurate.

> Why would I want it to pretend it doesn't know?

I (and I think OP) want it to not know in the first place.

My car from 2016 had its own cellphone data and gps. It was unclear to me if the data connection was always on, or if I had to pay for something to enable it.

or ctrl-z for that matter

Check out futexes [1]. I did a quick scan of the llvm libcxx sources and latch and other threading primitives are based on this syscall.

> Viruses can't really "adapt" to "not being spread".

Of course they can. We have this pandemic because a coronavirus became highly transmissible.

I don't think I have used an Arm SoC that _didnt_ use either a custom uboot, or some custom stage one loader (often a stripped down uboot).
