Bahahahahahaha. You asked for evidence. I presented one example. The datacenter near Truckee California is buying all of Truckee's power. It seems pretty clear they did not build their own power plant. I do not know how to explain that any clearer to you.

strncpy() was not intended for null-terminated strings at all. It should have been named copy_null_padded_buffer(). Then its operation would have made sense to almost anyone. People wouldn't have minded the longer name much either, because hardly anybody uses null-padded buffers in modern software.

Note that a null-padded buffer that is completely full doesn't have any nulls in it at all. That's why strncpy() doesn't necessarily add a null termination. It also fills the entire destination buffer with nulls after the end of a short copy, which can be very inefficient when used with null-terminated strings.

TL;DR: don't use strncpy(). It doesn't do what anybody thinks it does.

It was known what would happen if carbon fiber was used for the hull in a submsersible nearly a decade earlier: See the DeepFlight Challenger: "Based on testing at high pressure, the DeepFlight Challenger was determined to be suitable only for a single dive, not the repeated uses that had been planned as part of Virgin Oceanic service. As such, in 2014, Virgin Oceanic scrapped plans for the five dives project using the DeepFlight Challenger, as originally conceived, putting plans on hold until more suitable technologies are developed"

It wasn't about "toes". People died. You seem to be using the same strawman tactics as Stockton Rush.
Everyone else: "This could kill people."
Rush and you: "Your feelings don't matter."

Except they didn't. They did not even try. The Titan was using their second hull after the first one developed cracks. What did OceanGate do differently to prevent cracks in the second hull? Nothing. They did not change the formulation. They did not change the design. This was the concern voiced by James Cameron. Cameron was excited about the possibility of developing new forms of carbon fiber for submersibles. Until he learned OceanGate was not developing new forms of carbon fiber. They just used existing forms which were known not to be suitable.

I have no idea what you are talking about "departments". People have experimented using carbon fiber for hulls. They were found to crack under multiple dives. That's it.

Then you should know the phrase very well: "Regulations are often written in blood." You seem not to understand it though.

It was easy: Turn the hue knob to the left for purplish skin, to the right for green skin, and then carefully center it for purplish-green skin.

Espresso is a base for other coffee drinks, hot and cold. Putting a shot of room temperature espresso from a dispenser into one of those is going to save quite a bit of both time and money at the scale of something like a Starbucks franchise, and if you're getting your coffee from that kind of chain you're either not going to notice any difference anyway - or deny ever being there in the case of the coffee snobs. No more scooping grounds, prepping the machine, and forcing hot water through the grounds into the cup; the barista just shoves the cup under an optic, pushes a button, then moves onto the next step.

The real savings though are going to come for the manufacturers of those pre-bottled coffee drinks you find in the chillers at supermarkets; that's the kind of scale TFS is alluding to; where the coffee is brewed in industrial sized vats. Especially so if the concentrate approach is viable; add one 10L (or whatever) carton to your vat, then dilute with whatever milk/fake-milk/water/flavouring combinations needed to assemble your pre-bottled coffee-based drink. Coffee snobs are not admitting to buying those either. Also, as a side-benefit, there will be less waste as the grounds will be processed centrally so can be collected and fed into a suitable secondary product - they're excellent for providing fertiliser for some plants, for instance.

All of which probably saves you enough power and money (globally) to run a single AI data centre for a few minutes, but such is the price of progress I guess. :)

No, it's just logic. How many things are children either not allowed to do or not allowed to decide for themselves? They're permanent, life altering decisions that a child really doesnt grasp the gravity of. We don't normally let rando adults talk to children about sex because they have motivations the child does not understand. No 5 year old thinks they are the opposite gender without someone older suggesting it to them.

From what I remember from the initial report, OceanGate did everything they could to avoid being in any country's jurisdiction so they would not be subject to any country’s rules and regulations. The company was based in Washington state in the United States, but the OceanGate Expeditions, Ltd was registered in the Bahamas. The Titan was not registered in any country as the Bahamas refused to register the submersible without adequate documentation and technical specifications.

On the one hand, yes, there's no good way to regulate technology which is only used in a very limited number of vehicles. It would have to be more like spaceflight where it's regulated based on what damage it could do to third parties and not the staff and crew.

On the other hand they could have just called up James Cameron and the submersible engineers he knows, asked them if it was safe and waited for the laughter to stop before refusing to let it operate from Canada.

It seems that everyone involved in operating deep-sea submersibles knew it was a disaster waiting to happen but there was nothing they could do to stop it as no-one cared about their opinions.

In the past, companies building datacenters in rural areas for cheap land would build the infrastructure. After all, the companies needed these datacenters to be reliable as the local infrastructure would not be adequate. Also these rural areas could rarely afford the infrastructure changes needed even if they wanted to build them.

And closed loop cooling uses zero water. Oh it uses less water, not zero water. What about power? Does datacenters use closed-loop power? That does not exist?

Truckee, California. That datacenter did not build their own power. They are just buying all of Truckee's power. Screw the locals.

It means these RAM companies are not spending years and billions of capital to build more capacity for what might be a temporary situation. To him that is "refusing". That is like my local cafe "refusing" to stock their entire cooler with the latest popular caffeinated energy drink brand I like. I mean how dare they.

Apple does not manufacture their own CPUs. They contract TSMC to make them. Apple also does not manufacture their own SSDs, cameras, etc. Of all the components, RAM is a commodity component that survives on thin margins relying on high volume for profits.

Building a chip fab would take years if Apple had the site, the personnel, plans, permits, etc. today. Then it takes an experienced foundry like TSMC about a year after construction is complete to start making enough acceptable product in volume. So 3 or 4 years from now, Apple might have Apple RAM for their devices. By that point, if the RAM crisis is over, all the existing companies could sell their RAM for less than it costs Apple to make as Apple has to recoup capital costs. In the end, Apple will lose money. For what?

How long do you think it would take to "start a RAM company"? If Apple had the personnel, site, plans, equipment, etc, it would take years for them to build the plant. Then the plant does not make 100% sellable product on day 1. That might take months to a year. So 3 years from now, Apple might, maybe have a few chips they could use.

Um no. They existing companies are being lots of money to make specialized memory for AI. They are meeting demand. They are meeting demand of people who are paying them the most. They are not meeting the demand of us peasants who can't afford to throw money at them.

> Except, of course, for the front part, which was weirdly aerodynamic

It could separate, so maybe it was intended to be able to handle entry into a planet's atmosphere as a lifeboat. It also looked cooler that way.

> Yes, the lack of fuel tanks is a real problem. Also, how do they fly? They only have engines in back, but they skim over the surface of the moon like they are levitating.

I don't remember if the show mentioned anything about it, but I'm sure the books said it used nuclear engines of some kind. The model I had as a kid had rockets on the bottom too, which would have been a very inefficient way to fly but maybe doable if it was nuclear.

Building one would take years if Apple had the personnel, the expertise, site, etc. And at the end of the it, Apple built a manufacturing plant that does not fit into their strategies. After all, Apple does not manufacture their own CPUs. They contract TSMC to make them.
