They implemented it. They just couldn't get out of their own way to successfully sell it (See "Dealer's of Lightning"[0]) 0 - https://www.amazon.com/Dealers-Lightning-Xerox-PARC-Co…

Or tried that vocabulary estimator that is currently on the front page (it gave me zenzizenizenic in the last section.)

It is used as a shielding gas in some welding processes (notably, MIG welding.)

False equivalence. In your straw man, the elephant isn't misled into believing that by posing for a photo it could be "helped," nor is it possible to communicate such an idea to an…

Yeah. “We’re not incentivized to push one model or the other,” may be a statement of current fact, not of values.

I think the kid in the article who got $27k raised in his name for cancer treatment, received $0 in cancer treatment from those funds, and subsequently died of cancer definitely go…

I'm one of the Hickory maintainers, although I mainly work on the server-side code. https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns is our Git repo Documentation for the resolver includ…

A lot? Also irrelevant. All it takes is one for the statement "nobody can see the bubble" to be false. Take the housing bubble for instance. Do you think the people who called that…

That's the conventional wisdom, undercut by the fact that people have guessed (and bet their fortunes) that previous bubbles were bubbles well before they popped. Its more accurate…

> The GenAI bubble is going to pop. Everyone knows that. I think the first part of this is probably true, but I don’t think everyone knows it. A lot of people are acting like they …

More choice as in “more revenue streams from which to create shareholder value.”

Another happy rsync.net customer. I published my scripts[0] and notes[1] about doing append-only backups with Borg on rsync.net since at the time rclone studio wasn't supported. My…

Rust has debug asserts for that. Using expect with a comment about why the condition should not/can't ever happen is idiomatic for cases where you never expect an Err. This reads t…

The security world overemphasizes (fetishizes, even,) the "advanced" part because zero days and security tools to compensate against zero days are cool and fun, and underemphasizes…

I used to work for medium/big tech companies (8,000 - 70,000 employees.) I always had a sticker on my laptop - everybody had the same laptop (or maybe one of two models.) It was a …

I once worked at a place where one of the partners consistently claimed the engineering team over-built and over-thought everything (reality: almost everything was under-engineered…

Interesting. I've used my personal domain name for email for almost 30 years and I've never had that problem.

? My comment had nothing to do with Starlink. Your first example I was referring to - which you've now edited out of the article[0] to be more generic - stated: > When Deutsche Tel…

After using Deutsche Telekom as an example of how great direct peering is, a few paragraphs later the article uses Deutsche Telekom as an example of the dangers of using peering pr…

Once a company moves on to recurring, large-scale layoffs justified by vague corporate Mumbo-Jumbo, I think it is safe to assume it is a "day 2" company.

Sure, every little bit helps. But, keep in mind formal verification isn’t going to prevent configuration errors, and it remains to be seen if, for example, automated verifiers can …

Mostly I mean they research vulns and buy exploits on the open market, but yes they are also getting backdoors placed in commercial products.

> I agree. I think what we are split on is purpose/intent. I… don’t think so? Your original comment was that companies claim nation state attack as a way to get government funding.…
