There's a lot of people talking about the technical aspects of AI, but I think the (for a lack of a better term) marketing of AI is just as important. Insisting that anyone who is anti-AI is on the wrong side of history does not tend t

Fundamentally the point of DNS versus Ansible updating /etc/hosts is the same: get a mapping from DNS named to IPs to the client. As such, Ansible will have all the same issues. Plus, it'll introduce its own issues, like the

Changes from a single point of failure to a thousand points of failure. What if a host if offline when the Ansible update runs? What if someone wants to run a service that ignores /etc/hosts, like a Docker container?

The OS was smooth and worked well, and the design philosophy across basically every app was extremely coherent. Everything worked well, and everything felt like it fit together. Really its only problem was the lack of apps due to companies

Missiles versus aircraft is a fight between very high kinetic energy in the missile, and relatively low kinetic energy in the plane, but with the ability to generate more kinetic energy. Missiles don't have a lot of fuel, so they need

Well, only one Waymo got stuck in that flood, while at least two human-driven cars did, so by pure counting metrics they are better lol. But in my experience driving around them Waymos are much much better than most Atlanta drivers, not tha

I'm curious to see how this works out, because sports betting is _not_ in the CFTC's remit, and Kalshi etc's argument that states can't regulate them because they're not technically sports betting is contrary to the

The idea was to get people to include more substance. Instead of just saying "Washington crossed the Delaware" to get students to include reasons why, impacts, further narrative, etc. IDK if it was effective or not. Probably at le

Yeah, I can read about the parts that I want right now. If I open a video editor to splice two clips together, I don't need to know about input devices. If I want to do that, I can go read the manual for that at that time. Plus, there&

Yeah, it's all about communities, not platforms. What happens is that people find a community they like, then the platform underneath it dies (IRC, MySpace, Digg, etc) and they can't find the same community on a new platform. I&#x

What raises the error, and how does the system know that an error has happened? Like, if you have two processors calculating 2+2, and one comes out to 4 and the other to 5, how does the system know which one is correct? Actually, typing it

In one of my classes they had to explicitly ban people from using Python in their psuedocode submissions lol. (Generally this meant things like "no list comprehensions" and similar Python syntax details).

Patrick tends to describe systems in a vaguely disapproving tone of voice. It may be because he disagrees with the participants in the system (the SPLC in this case), it may be because he disagrees with the system itself and how it's u

Almost all of the music I listen to is instrumental. Like the article says, lyrics distract me from whatever I'm doing, and I rarely listen to music for the sake of listening to music, it's always something I'm going while do

They want to fly by at lunar sunrise as the shadows help see depth better. Also, they have very sensitive cameras (up to 3,280,000 ISO!); the Earth photo the other day was taken at night, so you can see how they'll be able to get detai
