> As long as it is in the normal range for your sex and age, you're fine even if your ferritin remains at 0.

This is simply wrong when one considers that iron has many bodily functions outside of hemoglobin, such as acting as a cofactor in tyrosine hydroxylase for dopamine synthesis.

I've read some of your stuff over the years and was appreciative of its accessibility.

https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

The above is another example I appreciate: the authors charge for physical copies and complete documents but generally make the work content available for free. I've bought a physical copy in that case because I really valued the work.

I agree with the cognitive premise unfortunately. But even so, I start to speculate about solving this by DIY book printing, or advances in digital reading technology (mostly I'm interested in the latter, for example, means of "spatializing" the flat screen experience, and reducing latency to a minimum)

In most cases that is also true, although in rare cases I will buy physical copies of certain books for that reason.

I have a hard time cognitively justifying most physical book purchasing anyways when internet shadow libraries have most of what I want to read.

Reminds me of how startups now will change their social proof marquee on the landing page from actual testimonials, to "trusted by XYZ", to just one composed of company logos (with the level of corporate engagement to be imagined up by the viewer)

‘At a certain stage of development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production, or this may express the same thing in legal terms - with the property relations within the framework of which they have operated hitherto. From forms of development of the productive forces these relations turn into their fetter. Then begins an era of social revolution. The changes in the economic foundation leads sooner or later to the transformation of the whole immense superstructure.’

People salivate so hard at the thought of the high level of automation promised that they're willing to do away with privacy altogether and live in Data Communism.

My thinking is, this will increase the demand for backup and other resilience solutions.

Not really, personally... time waits for no one.

This is awesome! In the past I would use the promise of starlink or other LEO internet as a tiebreaker for booking flights and was disappointed a few times (as clearly not all of the airframes for an airline have the capability)

I don't know much about UL but I can say that FCC certification (also technically required) for electronics can range from about $3k to something like $30k depending on what you're doing.

($3k would be for "unintentional radiator" device, i.e., not supposed to be a radio, $30k would be for "intentional radiator" device, i.e., supposed to be a radio)

That's all fair. It is a cool piece of work nonetheless.

For example I am thinking, what if I wanted to hook up my micasa instance to some other arbitrary self-hosted service? If it's an App that means bespoke code, with a spreadsheet stack it is trivial.

I feel like a lot of these types of apps could just be spreadsheets. Maybe a "smart" spreadsheet like Grist[0] executing Python code. Am I off-base there?

This is a more honest comment than the many around it making overly intellectualized arguments.

But I would sooner compare this engineer class to something of a small bourgeoisie swallowed by a yet larger one, especially in the United States.

Familiar relationships always come out of a sense of shared responsibility and utility, not out of a "secular" desire to "make friends", the way I see it.

So, live vigorously in a way that benefits from social relationships and they will necessarily come.

Be useful to others and they often return the favor.

ZeroFS is a single-writer architecture and therefore has overall bandwidth limited by the box it's running on.

JuiceFS scales out horizontally as each individual client writes/reads directly to/from S3, as long as the metadata engine keeps up it has essentially unlimited bandwidth across many compute nodes.

But as the benchmark shows, it is fiddly especially for workloads with many small files and is pretty wasteful in terms of S3 operations, which for the largest workloads has meaningful cost.

I think both have their place at the moment. But the space of "advanced S3-backed filesystems" is... advancing these days.

It has some functionality of this type (you can see in the overall map a small number of "sensor" nodes), but it's not super well fleshed out or documented ATM.

What I think you can do for sure today is poll a sensor over the mesh, unlike the meshtastic way where you generally automatically broadcast telemetry.

Nth for MeshCore, which the Boston Mesh has found to be a much more scalable solution for building an emplaced mesh network with hundreds of clients: https://analyzer.letsmesh.net/map?lat=42.00963&long=-70.9639...

Separately: while it's cool to chat human-style over these networks, lately I've been thinking that the real value add is last-mile automations. Stuff that won't clog the network like remote-starting your car once or twice a day, and is normally built on top of LTE.

I think that would be too reductive. The objective productive factors of software are what give it actual value. The author could have chosen to write "produce useful software", but did not.
