People under 18 can enter into contracts for "the necessities of life".

It's an effect of "once burned twice shy". Every time there was a "bad" hire they had to change things. People add to the list but no one ever wants to advocate for a lighter process since they might be blamed for it.

That theory was based on the idea there was a fixed amount of wealth in the world and it was impossible to create more.

The least cynical take I've heard about RTO is that most managers are deeply under-trained to the point of being mostly incompetent. So forcing people into the office lets them do performative performance monitoring and project management. This makes their job "easier" in that they didn't know how to do it correctly in the first place.

It's already won. Over 50% of Internet users are on ipv6.

The core issue is that it went beyond just not picking a vendor. They labeled anthropic as a supply chain risk. This banned the use of their software for the whole government (and contractors IIRC).

Healthcare.gov was a national scandal due to poor performance related to bad requirements gathering.

My ask for these is always the same. I just want to see how this union would work, specifically.

Don't compare it to other unions or say it could be like X. Just write a few hundred words on what it would actually be like.

It's because LLMs are entropy generators. That's not a bad thing for what people are doing.

But to prevent model collapse you need a way to pump down the entropy. Much like in thermo, it's an expensive and slow process.

Many people also don't know that Vienna was isolated and divided for nearly 50 years during the cold war. A significant amount of the available housing is due to Vienna having a bad economy for almost a century.

Let's encrypt is great but if you operate any kind of scale you can quickly hit their rate limit. AWS only recently started allowing you to pull the certificate out of ACM.

That might take a while. We need to bog down the HSR first.

Tampering with smoke detectors

Do you actually know what Vienna did? Because the overwhelming number of people who reference the city basically just repeat a few dubious talking point about restricting rent.

My local library has been running a tool lender library for quite a while. It's quite popular as it rents out both manual and electric tools. This is great when you need an extension ladder but don't want to own an extension ladder.

> if they let you walk out maybe they really can't

Toyota's have such a backlog of orders that they're marking cars up above MSRP

> conflict free stability is super impressive by that standard.

Not much happened between 1861 and 1865?

What happens is that economics shift from a renewable model to an extractive model.

Farms are renewable so farmers maintain them over centuries. Mines are extractive so they get pumped and dumped.

What landlords do in these situations is try to extract as much money as possible before the enterprise collapses, either literally or figuratively. New housing doesn't come online quickly so both quality and quantity fall.

We could like build more houses though

Yeah, but what's the burn rate?

If it's going down at 1 day per week then it's not so bad. If it's closer to 0.75 days per day, that's much more serious.

> I administrate are contractually obligated to be so isolated

Yeah, I've seen those contracts. They just reference a SeCuRiTy doc that's 20+ years old, and has never been re-evaluated. Things are secure because they follow the doc, not because they have actually evaluated the reasonable attack space.

I've fighting customers for years on their ideas of proper TLS usage and it's always the same thing. They've got a security doc that never changes and has never evaluated any of the trade-offs. Almost to the point that the people who wrote them choose things that increase downtime and KTLO work without helping security.

> keeping backward operational compatibility

It is not possible to be backwards compatibility with a larger address space

Because there are so many applicants that have good grades.

A more cynical view is that the governing boards want a way to pick and choose who they let in. So they create "holistic" application systems to get "360 degree view of the candidate".

> As per The Information, Meta employees used a total of 60.2 trillion AI tokens (!!) in 30 days. If this was charged at Anthropic’s API prices, it would cost $900M.

How are the investors not completely losing their minds at this kind of spending?

Yet.

Many ISPs are pushing v4 users into CGNAT so they're easier and cheaper to manage.

This is a big reason why Netflix and YouTube are on v6. To avoid the cost of service over v4.

I'm not sure that counting "How it's going?" as a productivity stat is the win you think it is.

Fun story - at Oxford they like to name buildings after important people. Dr Hoare was nominated to have a house named after him. This presented the university with a dilemma of having a literal `Hoare house` (pronounced whore).

I can't remember what Oxford did to resolve this, but I think they settled on `C.A.R. Hoare Residence`.

We're actually not that far off.

Right now, liquid fuels have about 10x the energy density of batteries. Which absolutely kills it for anything outside of extreme short hop flights. But electric engines are about 3x more efficient than liquid fuel engines. So now we're only 3x-4x of a direct replacement.

That means we are not hugely far off. Boeing's next major plane won't run on batteries, but the one afterwards definitely will.

It's not that outrageous. Apparently, 90% of India is living on less than $10 per day (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-living-with-less-th...)
