On one hand the durability and scalability of object storage is amazing. But on the other hand it seems perverse to build so many systems around the very high latency of object storage when we have NVMe SSDs that have higher bandwidth than RAM did not long ago and microsecond latency.

Git should support multiple hashes for commits

Hard coding a specific hash algorithm was a big mistake.

Opus 5.5. on medium effort is very good a writing code and provides a lot of tokens per 5 hour session. It is a fantastic value for $20/month.

At $32,000 a year per person the Bloomberg Terminal is a deeply unfair advantage for the rich to get richer.

Do they have a safety driver?

Honestly it seems like Musk is just plain bored with cars.

Land is very cheap compared to how much normal reactors cost to build.

I will never give McDonald's money after they let Trump use McDonald's to mock Kamala Harris for working at McDonald's. And the food is terrible value for money.

You use them for backups, data archiving, or object storage with triple parity RAID or erasure coding. The combined bandwidth of dozens to hundreds of magnetic hard drives is pretty decent.

If you actually consume all quota for every session subscriptions are VASTLY cheaper per token than API.

I've seen a program funded by a utility that integrated batteries with air conditioners.

I'm familiar with Tcl because many Cisco routers actually support it as a scripting language.

Opus 5.5.is crazy good. I ask it to do things and it just writes the code to do it.

Patching vulnerabilities IS important and well designed systems can keep running while one server reboots.

It is interesting how long server uptime used to be considered a good thing but now the shorter the average runtime the better as it indicates the system was designed to tolerate failures.

Or live in an apartment and can't charge at home using cheap electricity.

That is now how time actually works.

The antidote to Roko's basilisk is realizing it is exactly the same as Pascal's wager. They both rely on the premise of possible unlimited suffering to skew the probabilities arbitrarily.

The most impressive part for me is:

Optical atomic clocks at the 10^-19 level are so precise they can detect the slowing of time caused by gravity over height differences of millimeters.

> There is nothing to tax until they sell some shares.

This is a very strange claim when we have property taxes. Shares are property so they can be taxed just like houses and land.

The only difference I notice is a small increase in muscle strength after taking it for a month or so.

It is actually the opposite of aimless waffle. It is well written and fair and accurate.

I'm sorry but someone claiming to have such an amazingly democratic government when they have a monarch who has absolute personal immunity from civil and criminal proceedings under UK law and whose face is on all the bank notes is a bit silly. This is the least democratic thing possible.

Queen Elizabeth used Queen's Consent many many times to prevent or modify laws she didn't like. An investigation by The Guardian revealed that more than 1,000 parliamentary bills were subjected to Queen's Consent or Prince's Consent during Queen Elizabeth II's reign.

The British government feels like a delicate standoff between Parliament and the crown.

Please explain the constitutional limits to Parliament in more detail.

The result seems substantially more chaotic.

And then there is the fact that the entire legal frame work is based on The Crown. If the king or queen killed someone they would have to prosecute themselves. This is the exact opposite of democracy.

Parliament has absolutely no constitutional limits on it. It can and has made retroactive laws that are not allowed in the US.

He is dead because he killed himself because his web of lies was unraveling.

It is still very high, especially when you consider how expensive it is.

"base load is a myth" is a myth

Germany made their electricity both very expensive and high CO2 per joule.
