It’s all in the UI basically. They have an app store of sorts where it’s managing the separate containers for you. If you already ate comfortable spinning up containers you don’t really gain much.

Oh no… I thought I was exaggerating. 😅

I vaguely remember they might’ve done that later on? Maybe that was for the business version only. It was at least interesting that Microsoft was trying to directly compete with Apple for a while in having a whole ecosystem. I was waiting for more hardware because I liked metro on the phone, but then that all collapsed.

Really the worst part of 8 onward was the fragmenting of the settings, Vista you could at least fallback to the old stuff but they started removing old functionality. I get that they wanted to “update” from the control panel. But that it’s taken them 20 years, and they’re not done, and now neither the new system or the old system is feature complete, is fucking bonkers.

$10 no.

If that book enabled sick people to continue living another year, and they started out charging $2000 and gradually increased that to $10000 while the book production cost remained at $2, there would begin to be many ethical questions.

You’re right that the per-pill cost is only the start of what it takes to develop / test / manufacture / distribute / market the pill. But the first two are done by the time the pill comes to market and the last is minimal because you have a captive market, people who have the cancer the pill is treatment for.

Increasing the cost year after year, because you have a captive market of people that will die without your product, should raise significant ethical and legal questions. Especially because large parts of the research and testing are publicly subsidized anyway.

It’s 3D compared to pinball videogames from the 70s/80s, which were decidedly not. It actually looks like a pinball game that could exist, the ball moves relatively realistically, and has paths that go ‘over’ the main play field.

The site seems to autoredirect to idlewatt.foundagent.net? Which is something to do with HIPAA vendors.

Veritasium(?) has a video about jerry cans that boils down to “Surprise! The Germans over-engineered the crap out of these!” and how most modern ones aren’t as good because its significantly cheaper to make ones that just look similar.

Still better than the plastic ones usually but you kind of have to hunt for the older style at this point to get the best of the best.

Which is the point. It’s not good, it meets the spec.

Sometimes the spec means it’s overbuilt compared to a civilian version. A lot of the time someone not-the-government is willing to pay more for different features than the spec.

An AR trigger going to a 19 year old just out of basic does not need to be match quality. Most of them suck as marksmen. Most of them will rarely shoot a rifle after basic because their MOS doesn’t require it, and they don’t need a good (read: more expensive) trigger to qualify for basic competence.

Gain of salt because it’s the university’s press release but seems like a really cool machine learning project.

It’s isolated forest and mountains. There’s along history of self-described neo-nazis making compounds and trying to succeed from WA/OR/ID to be a white ethno-state.

Spokane is a purple dot in the wilderness but most of it’s police/representatives live in the county and vote deep red.

FWIW apparently for polo it’s the people that own the horses that need to be wealthy, because horses, and you have to have a lot of horses. The riders are usually doing it for fun and/or because they’re good enough to get asked back.

This is going off the Jon Huertas episode of Once We Were Spacemen podcast so you know, grain of salt.

Thing is, in the movie he then reverses course to get the world spinning the right way again. He changes the rotation twice. I feel like the “visual representation of time travel” explanation is from people who haven’t watched the whole movie, just the clip.

Maybe he overshot and went too far into the past and had to catch up, with raises the question why he didn’t stop everything bad in the movie by punching Lex Luthor right at the start…

This video shows the whole sequence, he un-reverses the Earth’s spin at ~1:38.

Fair enough. Really appreciate the work ya’ll have put into this, definitely going to have to mess around with it. Just brought it up because of the community this is in.

Are only VPS relay’s supported at the moment? Presumably so the feed is accessible over the web?

I get that the project seems to be going for replicating a ring/wyze/etc style experience but being able to self-host a relay somehow seems like a logical addition. Would probably have to disavow connecting outside of the home network and leave that the responsibility of the user.

They’ve done those studies and context switching has historically been where the most problems occur. Whether they’ve repeated them with modern electronic medical records and systems, I don’t know. I think most people agree there’s probably a better middle ground between 8 hr shifts (3 handoffs a day) and the standards set by a dude who liked to experiment with coke and meth.

One of the big issues that I feel like doesn’t get touched on as much is longer shifts allow less doctors, which reinforces the artificially low doctor graduation rates. The national board in the US pegs the graduation at X thousand new doctors every year and that number is mostly tradition / vibes. No we don’t want to compromise on the ability of new doctors, but “gestures vaguely to US healthcare” good lord do we need more of them. Much the same could be said for nurses.

And all of that circles back around to not wanting to dilute traditionally higher paying job markets with more practitioners because the for-profit system will try to wring out every cent they can.

The newer ender printers are definitely less drama than the older ones. Unless you go higher end with them where they have bed leveling and more sensors I’d recommend something more plug and play.

Big fan of Prusa.

The ISS has a lot of big solar panels. The other big panels they have are thermal radiators.

They have to have quite large thermal radiators because it’s very inefficient. The ISS has people and a very small amount of computing power.

Data centers generate several orders of magnitude more heat. You would need several orders of magnitude more thermal radiators than you would solar panels. The bigger you make the data center, which is important for density since you’re introducing a lot of lag due to the speed of light, the less room you have to put thermal radiators or solar panels.

Then you need to work out how to get spare servers, and/or server parts up and down from the Data Center. All of these things are consumables, and all of them have significantly more wear and tear outside of the Earth’s atmosphere.

It is possible. It is not efficient or sensible. It sounds cool, it doesn’t require buying land, and there aren’t currently international agreements about doing dumb stuff in space in the same way there are for doing dumb stuff in the ocean.

It’s a perennial thing with Jellyfin that it doesn’t have the app / remote access support Plex provides. By itself it’s a fully functional network media server, but by design it doesn’t have the ability to reverse tunnel and it doesn’t have the corporate infrastructure that gets it’s app onto devices.

Yes you can set up wireguard / VPN access. Yes there are workarounds that can get Jellyfin streaming to most devices.

None of that matters when trying to talk someone on the phone through connecting to your server through the internet.

Plex is an account, it looks like a streaming service, it requires zero knowledge. I’m fairly certain some of my relatives have no idea it’s streaming from a server in my basement. Jellyfin they have to trust you enough to setup separate other apps / configuration and have the patience / attention span / ability to follow directions to do so.

I understand the pushback against it being “not unix” philosophically, since it’s a large system instead of many small systems working together.

At the same time systemd is still kind of just a collection of config/script files. And as annoying as it is, the perennial “well just contribute to / code for the thing you like instead” mantra applies. init.d is falling out of favor with maintainers because they find it comparatively harder to maintain and update.

I have the vague feeling that a lot of the people that would care the most have moved to NixOS or esoteric stuff like it.
