From 10,000ft and with no experience in this space I can say with unmerited confidence I think this is a mistake.
Mistaking time in development for a cost which demands language change, against benefits of a system written in a strongly typed language and selecting a rapid development application suite which uses a language with strong typing bolted on because LLM run faster. That just sounds wrong.
It isn't even clear what benefits LLM bring the project.
At the time, this was a debate around our family dining table with an old school mathematician who graduated in the 1940s who grew into the computing era and founded a school of computer science, and three offspring (myself included) studying maths and computer science arguing the case either side.
Pre pdf, printouts of the paper were on continuous paper and my memory is a lot of the exemplar map examples were included in the draft as an appendix, begging the question if anyone was seriously arguing they'd find errors by looking at them.
"What does a mathemantical proof mean when a machine writes it and a machine verifies it" was a reductive but unanswerable position. "It's not very satisfying" was the mood along with "expect a lot more of this in the future"
Because the mainstream parties have refused to stand candidates in opposition to Farage, stating "it's a stunt" there is some feeling Binface will not only get his deposit back, if the protest vote is strong enough...
Farage is very popular in Clacton. It's an older, reactionary community but british elections are First-Past-The-Post and normally have a low turn out so if enough old people died after the last election and enough younger people come out to vote, it is possible although I personally think unlikely, Binface will win.
Regrettably, for purists, and those who want Binface to win, other novelty candidates are now standing. The man dressed as a fox, and the monster raving loony party. Both appear to be somewhat petulant, MRLP is unhappy Binface has taken their spot in novelty candidature, and there are rumours MRLP and Mr Fox are being funded by right wing parties opposed to Farage. British Politics are very strange.
If the UK had proportional/transferrable votes, these alternate candidates would ultimately send votes to Binface in all likelihood. But, thats not how it works in British Parliamentary elections and by-elections. Forms of complex vote are used for the regional devolved parliaments in Wales and Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Andy Burnham (the future Labour prime minister from Manchester replacing Sir Keir Starmer) has previously indicated support for ending FPTP but people often say this before achieving power, and then fail to make it happen in power. Should he carry out another proposed idea of "a Parliament for England" based in the north, then it is likely as for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland it would not use FPTP.
Evidence of systems leakage into the FEBA would be impossible to hide. I have read elsewhere the infra to run the spaceX hammers is 6+ trucks and a radar crossection you could see from the moon, at least some of these systems said to be already destroyed. (Fibre optic drones don't need starlink not would radar seekers)
Not to say this ain't concerning. The supply chain may be long but it hasn't gone.
A recession or depression springs from 10% of the economy tanking. Quite a lot of the asset spend is non recoverable but a lot of ground assets, equipment spills into the worldwide marketplace.
Also, this $3t isn't all in the $33t US economy. If half of it distributed to other markets and the unwind is slow it, it might not be dustbowl 2.0
This continues to be reported as an asymmetric war. Russia attacks people and seeks to take legitimacy from the Ukranian government by loss of belief it can prevent deaths. It may work. Churchill's "eels get used to skinning" about the blitz was only partly true.
Ukraine attacks energy infrastructure which destroys Russian capacity to run industry, heat and light the population and earn foreign currency. Which path succeeds first is a good question.
Prior write ups of belief under ww2 bombing and Vietnam war era bombing suggests morale is harder to destroy but not impossible. America absolutely torched the Vietnamese economy but they won. People do get fed up of living under bombing.
The economic damage is self evident but Russia has a higher capacity economically speaking. Predicting where bottom is can be hard, it's a distorted economy.
Russian popular psychology about war as reported in the west is sometimes inexplicably dichotomous, the enemy is "evil" and characterised as "the invader" but Russian deaths are very much "well, what can you do" despite both at root being due to Russian expansionism, not Ukranian invasion. It's hard not to believe a degree of servile cynicism has set in "if your numbers up, there's nothing you can do"
Western write-ups of front line Russian troops emphasises brutality and corruption and also complete shambolic supply chain logistics, mining 1960s vintage soviet hardware to maintain state, repeating a story of ww2 vintage troops sending toilets and cooking gear home as unimagined wealth, except now it's pillaged dishwashers and cookers.
What's reasonably clear is a lack of movement, a war of static trenchlines, and an emerging rear line defensive problem for Russia which won't go away. What was once a remote problem for remote regions to fix, is now a home front nightmare, echoing one foisted on Kiev for the duration of the war. You can't hide 5 mile petrol queues.
I continue to believe Russia has functionally lost the war and may even lose far East territory to China if it cannot show an ability to manage its economy. Winning the peace is about who funds reconstruction and what you make with it. Ukraine is going to be a modern day post ww1 Czech Republic, a powerhouse of materiel and weapons and microelectronics. It's already exporting drone tech.
NATO is rearming. Stupid things under mutually assured destruction are worrisome, but verbal posturing, arson attacks and random drone incursions mean very little. So far, no real tit-for-tat is reported in the west but I would be amazed if NATO isn't preparing plans and doesn't have a sense of 20+km beyond the immediate border undef continuing monitoring 24/7. After all they warned Ukraine what was massing, why the Ukranian government chose to ignore it escapes me, not that it would have altered the trajectory much. It wasn't a 3 day walk in the park so maybe it did alter posture?
I still look for a canonical "this is how to make it highly GUI compatible with office for user expectations" which necessarily means finding font sources from MS releases. There are several howtos but none got me all the way to an endpoint.
Dislike articles which start with rage bait accusations but taking that on board, seems fair: author lost their sense of scepticism and dived into the numinous. As long as they're happy and do no harm, that's a "you do you" moment.
There's a minor risk a massive shift in what I will call "core personality" is a medical issue but lest this also become rage bait I will say RISK, not DIAGNOSTIC. It can happen. Doesn't mean it always is.
Dawkins has said we need Pantheons to celebrate the limnal and bathe in what others call spirituality. I can get with that, I love the emotional state of being in beautiful architecture, much of which is secular if I admit many are not. The cistern in Istanbul is amazing. So is St Peter's in Rome.
Leverages existing assets, demands hydrogen and ideally renewable power as an input, to get a fuel cycle which may be easier to store than the hydrogen so couples to electrolysis cells.
Is smells like an attempt to avoid something but if it's not a giant con to keep specific asset holders onside then.. ok but why this rather than pumped hydro and batteries? Because spinners? So good load stabilisation? Is it rapid fire up because if this is "base load" that's marketing speak for things which only make sense if they run continuously not "wd have demonstrable need of continuously available power" oh wait... all that hyperscaler AI bullshit. So I bet this is predicated on giant datacenters.
There is an amazing write up[0] of somebody who was present when Boris gave some apparently "impromptu" speeches who absolutely pins him to the ground on his technique for appearing haphazard, off-the-cuff when it's patently clear its a rehearsed schtick. The man is literate.
The problem is he is also almost amoral, and should never have been allowed to occupy a position of authority. He has some charming qualities, and he has some deeply unpleasant ones. (at least, from what I know of him from reading online, having never met him in the flesh)
If you read about Harrison's Chronometers you read of Rupert T. Gould who suffered a Nervous Breakdown, and it is said fell into watch repair as therapy, bringing them back to life.
Run ZFS backed filestore on FreeBSD, have migrated it to/from Debian. At work and home, not petabyte scale but certainly multi hundred terrabyte. Over 15 years, on over 50 hosts/NAS/SAN instances, different hardware.
Run ZFS on Raspberry Pi, on home builds, on Intel, on AMD, on other ARM chipsets.
I think you're over-stating things. Debian is fine for this. I do think FreeBSD is a better platform for myself.
The code bases adhere (modulo ZFS version numbers) to a spec and you can safely migrate the pools between OS. I've done it multiple times both directions.
You can not do this with BTRFS and other Linux things, I consider this feature of (Open)ZFS a killer-context for me: It's OS portable. I wish Mac OSX hadn't walked out of the room when Oracle went legal.
The view amongst the economically literate left (the LSE?) when I was in the UK, was that lying about money to money-makers was counter productive.
I tend to think this is true. The economist doesn't project into quite the same mindset of outcome, so I still think (despite your polemic) it's less likely the fin randomly lies about things, but I'm prepared to consider it on it's merits if somebody gives me better reasons than what I am afraid is just .. ranting.
As long as I can bind more than one device in my room, and as long as I can "see" the devices amongst themselves, I'd love this. I can imagine people who want inter-room access but they can live through proxies offsite. If I want to do in room sharing, I need in room wifi.
Gets hard when you bring "smart" TV's to the table. They're going to need to expose into this system somewhat 'credential-free' but if you do it off MAC address then a determined user could disconnect, find MAC, clone ...
Have used their travel wifi product back when hotel wifi was a strange beast. Wouldn't expect to need it now eSIM and ubiquitous internet travel pricing means the hotel wifi may be the LEAST valid path to access things.
I have a free give-away mikrotik unit in the same price bracket (literally free: they were both conference give-aways) it's physically smaller and it runs what appears to be their mainline code. Say what you like about microtik for quality, they provide pretty much every knob and frob you could want.
I'd love to know if "the pink" has the same problem because I used to find the editorial very good. As a non-investor, left leaning voter, it interested me that I found much to agree with in "the financial times" while still finding much to disagree with in "the times" and "the daily telegraph" and "the spectator" -as if money was more neutrally stanced on left-vs-right.
Hyperbolic downside risk only exists because of the combination of two things.
1) bloated wealth by the asset holder.
2) persisting refusal to countenance any kind of responsibility for their actions operating a fiefdom.
Meta had content review by humans. It worked, badly, but better than the automata. It had massive PTSD risks to the operators, it was costly, and it ate into profits which affected 1) above. So Meta shitcanned it, to avoid cost, and now sits on 2) because what it did subsequently is worse and it doesn't want to admit the cost.
Conflating this with some presumed free speech/libertarian issue is smoke-and-mirrors. This is a T&C space, it is not a free speech venue (nor is X, or Reddit) And the meta people who could editorially remove content don't but have not lost their editorial responsibility which they exercise at other times, and in ways which show they can remove content at will.
I'm in my sixties "change my mind" is hard sometimes.
