"There is a herculean effort on the part of package maintainers to build software for distros, and no one has been building 32 bit version of software for years, even if it is possible to build from source."
This statement must be Linux-only
Pre-compiled packages for i386 are still available for all versions of NetBSD including the current one
I own a few of these- they’re lovely things but I’ve not found them easy to bring out in a group. The same author’s made a variant that loses some features to gain looking like a very standard poker deck (with just more numbers and suits) that I really like the look of
Why don't you try it out in Opencode? It's possible to hook up the openrouter api, and some providers have started to host it there [1]. It's not yet available in opencode's model list [2].
Opencode's /connect command has a big list of providers, openrouter is on there.
A passport is just as tedious to get as a real id. As far as I'm aware, there's no compelling security benefit that the government has articulated about how standardizing licenses improves security.
"...As part of the plea deal, Epstein served 13 months in a minimum-security county jail.... He was also allowed to leave the facility up to 12 hours a day...."
I actually own this, but I find that, in practice, remembering the mappings is tricky for most players. Also, it's surprisingly annoying to not have rotationally symmetric cards, or needing to hold the cards in a different way.
I think this is a very nicely thought out approach. I particularly like it doing allergen tracking. Obviously you're at the mercy of supplier/supply-chain integrity but if you do e.g. wind up with ground cumin contaminated with god knows what, this is what will get you where you need to be.
This is written by someone that is not in aerospace that thinks terrestrially.
Engineering is always a question of tradeoffs.
Launch costs are dropping, and we’re still using inefficient rockets. Space elevators & space trains, among others, can drop this much more, the launch costs are still dropping, even using rockets, maybe we’ll never get to elevators & trains the costs will drop so low!
Radiation shielding is not required for VLEO or LEO, and phenomenally more capable aerospace processors are near - hi Microchip Inc! There are many other radiation solutions coming, no doubt with nuclear power.
Satellites can be upgraded at scale, though for many things, it does not make $ sense to upgrade them, but fuel , reaction wheels, solar panels, among other things do make $ sense to replace.
Latency was technically solved in 1995 & 2001 with the first laser comms missions NASDA’s ETS-VI kiku-6 and ESA’s Artemis , and Laser crossbars for comms are common. A full laser TDRS no RF is not yet extant but soon. Earth to deepspace was just demonstrated by ESA.
Cooling can be significantly improved due to lower launch costs, heat piping, RTGs, TEGs, and thermoradiative cells, not to mention sunside solar and darkside inline radiators
Furthermore, it is very likely that as neuromorphics with superior SWaP emerge, we could see very different models of space based computation.
Economic tradeoffs should drive many of these decisions as I’m not discussing the other applications of datacenter in space
The point is that it's nonsensical to say flying is cheaper than driving. Its oranges vs apple. Apples and oranges are fruit, flying and driving are transportation. But they're totally different.
1. You're normalizing one cost by the occupancy but assuming the other is single occupancy.
2. The assumption that folks are alone in a car is only true only for short trips, trips that are unpractical and expensive by plane. Folks don't fly 600+ mi because it's cheaper (the fuel isn't cheaper until about 1600 mi), but because it's faster.
There should be some temperature where incoming radiation (sunlight) balances outgoing radiation (thermal IR). As long as you're ok with whatever that temperature is at our distance from the sun, I'd think the only real issue would be making sure your satellite has enough thermal conductivity.
Worth noting that a majority of the NRC is now Trump appointees. And last month, he named the new chair of the NRC, and pretty much immediately they published new rules that are going to allow nuclear startups connected to Trump-friendly investors to fast-track construction:
I am so confused at how this is supposed to work. If the code, running in whatever language, does any sort of transform with the key that it thinks it has, doesnt this break? E.g. OAuth 1 signatures, JWTs, HMACs...
Now that I think further, doesnt this also potentially break HTTP semantics? E.g. if the key is part of the payload, then a data.replace(fake_key, real_key) can change the Content Length without actually updating the Content-Length header, right?
Lastly, this still doesnt protect you from other sorts of malicious attacks (e.g. 'DROP TABLE Users;')...Right? This seems like a mitigation, but hardly enough to feel comfortable giving an LLM direct access to prod, no?
You know police are not all technically clueless, I hope. The French have plenty of experience dealing with terrorism, cybercrime, and other modern problems as well as the more historical experience of being conquered and occupied, I don't think it's beyond them to game out scenarios like this and preempt such measures.
As France discovered the hard way in WW2, you can put all sorts of rock-solid security around the front door only to be surprised when your opponent comes in by window.
Off on a tangent here but I'd love for anyone to seriously explain how they believe the "AI race" is economically winnable in any meaningful way.
Like what is the believed inflection point that changes us from the current situation (where all of the state-of-the-art models are roughly equal if you squint, and the open models are only like one release cycle behind) to one where someone achieves a clear advantage that won't be reproduced by everyone else in the "race" virtually immediately.
Is this the time for a random Xcode rant? The topic is agentic AI in Xcode.
I'd be a lot more interested in hearing what people think about this development, what it means for code privacy, how are the context windows handled, can it be enabled per-project, etc.
