i already countered that argument, but to spell it out: sun synchronous orbits which see the sun all the time are a 1d manifold (approximately) and quite busy already, so they won't come to the rescue.

google: orbit

it does not see the sun half of the time

polar orbits don't come to the rescue, they are quite busy already

Society depends on variance of thought and action to be able to course-correct. genAI is destroying that variance by design.

LLMs have difficulties in representing out of distribution viewpoints, lines of thinking and conlusions. Original thought is out-of-distribution by definition.

I wrote up why i think this matters more than most people realize as I believe the boring, routine, daily application of generative AI will be enough to detoriate society as a whole - self goverment on autopilot basically with strong attractors to default outcomes.

perhaps something to chuckle at: Assembler AMQP

While working on the integration of a complex distributed task queue in a design-by-committee meeting, I wondered out loud why we parse AMQP messages more or less directly instead of using higher-level abstractions like Spring Integration or Celery."

A colleague argued that it wasn't a problem, and also it would be easy to integrate multiple languages, and the target programming languages would be able to handle everything just fine."

I begged to differ and pushed the whole thing up a notch: "technically, one could even parse AMQP messages in assembler if one were inclined to".

So long story short: this project was born as proof that low-level messaging integration is possible, even close to bare metal. Because who wouldn't need that?

it was 0.5 ns .. 1s was the FHE case

people like me contributed their freetime afterwards still

the point being that there was a time (some greybeards might remember) where contributing to the linux kernel wasn't "work" but a fun hobby

unfortunately this doesn't work if the user doesn't have write permissions for /etc/hosts already.

perhaps: echo "127.0.0.1 reddit.com # The real blackout" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts ?

there is another possible, more charitable explanation for the wait period for device unlocking: as a cooldown period to help people avoid being scammed into unlocking their phones

yes thanks a lot! also retrospectively for implementing basic auth in ffsend!
