Zero days in third party or OS libraries are an act of God. Or will be declared so in short order should your wish become law.

Lots of words to say "I disagree" without offering a single argument for why the analysis is wrong.

well yeah; but lets look at where we are now. Nobody is make domestic routers because you CAN'T for structural reasons complete with foreign ones.

There are exactly two ways to make domestic router production happen.

1) Defense production act, go all command economy compel some company with domestic electronics manufacturing plant they are going to produce routers. Good luck because it isnt just you with a PCB layout kit, and you there with the injection molding machine, hop to it. It is also design the thing, get the software (even if it is just Linux), .... Nobody at FCC is up to coordinating product delivery with all those inputs. The outcome will be some disaster of product nobody wants, that hardly works, very likely costs way to much, and will be way to stagnant crippling innovation of anything delivered by the net does not fit todays ipv4/6 and relative bandwidth scenario.

2) Ban stuff people need let some domestic company who is already in the business of building somewhat similar products maybe an enterprise player who could jump into the consumer market, that just has to solve how to replace their sourcing with domestic alternatives. Sure it is still disruptive, but at least has some tiny change of working...

3) Then there is the other don't make domestic production happen alternative, which is what most of Slashdot childless, globalist, America hates really want, that is to do fuck all about supply chain risk and the national security and sovereignty implications, because having some new shiny thing for very cheap that will be next years e-waste to play with is more important to them than America's future. While were at it, the public till can get raided to inject cash into some American chip makers so they can design but not actually make any chips, pat ourselves on the back watch our 401ks grow and pretend we did not just sell out our grandchildren at the same time.

I am not a municipal water guy, but my high-level understanding from news articles and picking up little bits of information over time is that leaks representing quite a lot of water loss like 5-20 percent is pretty common.

This is why you see boil orders whenever there is a loss of pressure the assumption is that because the positive pressure went away nasty things could have come in the same leaks in the pipe that normally are letting all that water out..

That 5-20 percent is a big spread and a lot noise to signal to hide non functioning meter or even intentional water theft in.

See I don't think you need the education to engage. If you want to talk about that engagement with others, compare it other works not immediately present, place it in some social or historical context sure...

Just like you'll probably engage with study the wildflower differently if you have formal training in botany, than if you don't, you can still make personal observation, ask yourself questions especially subjective ones. Any normal person could look at an impressionist work and observe how the image comes together as you take a step back, or that the bright colors of the forest flower attract the birds. That is how the discoveries all the people with the fancy titles know about where made in the first place.

Certainly the heal benefit here comes from just taking the time understand and appreciate something, If arriving at some ground breaking insight or new discovery general rather than personal was required, I don't think we'd see much affect on anyone because even if you have multiple PHDs in visual arts, a lot of people have spent a lot of time looking at that Manet already, the odds of coming away with anything truly novel are low.

The point is that you want to start optimizing for contemporary-ish instructions and feature sets, which often perform a lot better. Yes you can continue to target v1 and it will work on v2 and v3, but you're leaving a lot on the table, or you make separate paths v1 and v2+ but now you have added effort to support v1.

At some point it is time to say goodbye to v1 support in the mainline branch.

Don't let any of the art or art history profs at the local college hear you say that, they'll probably turn violent!

Sitting and looking might not be an accurate characterization. I also don't think many of the voluntary attendees (Ie people that were not dragged their by parents, a spouse etc) are very likely to just 'sit and look' they are almost certainly "critiquing" and thinking about it, "do i like this", "why did the artist select this media", "what were they trying to say, what have they actually said to me", "what did I not see the last time I studied this piece", "maybe this would be better if it were green"

Ok thanks for the SPR definition, etc.

Yes, we are more car dependent than the 70's, but thats only because we're a larger country, more populace more cities than the 70s

I grew up in the 70's....and to my eyes, it isn't much different as far as requiring a car to live....never in my lifetime has there been any meaningful public transit anywhere I've lived across the US, but it isn't like anyone I've ever known missed it, etc.

Just normal way of life here.....I started working at restaurants when I was about 16yrs....saved my money and bought my first car (with some parental help) as a senior in High School.....and got that first taste of independence ..

I just thank GOD there was no social media back then and we didn't have cameras everywhere....ugh.

But the US has always in modern times been car centric....to see when it was not you'd likely have to look back about 100 years....

Right but I have been experimenting with Opus and ChatGPT models to do code review here now for several weeks.

So far my conclusion is that it.
1) Does work.
2) Does not produce results that are significantly better than what SonarCube, Semgrep, Snyk, Checkmarx, and more targeted tools for specific languages/domains do.
3) Will end up costing more. Easy to blow $1200 worth of tokens auditing a large project. So 10 major feature reviews of significant projects would buy you a year license of one of those other tools. Most enterprises will hit that easily.
4*) The AI can take things a step further and produce some exploit proof of concept code etc, but to the degree that is needed to 'show impact' etc is going to very a lot by organization and industry.

  Honestly this particular 'application' seems like it might be one where if you have limited needs like only a few software projects your org is responsible for maybe tossing some AI tokens at code reviews is the way to go vs shelling out for SAST licensing. On the other hand given everyone is just tossing all their super-trade-secret code now into the cloud and often github of all places the SAST guys will probably start offering fixed price one-shot-SaaS code scans to compete.

I wonder if it really has much to do with "art and culture" as much as just general attitude and a sense of greatfulness.

Taking the time sit an look at painting an appreciate it as beautiful or fascinating or singing and taking the time work at it and make it sound right places one in a frame of mind and we know the many parts of the body are impacted by mental state either directly or indirectly thru hormone responses etc.

My question would be do you get the same benefit if say you make a habit of going for a non-strenuous hike and sitting on log for a while contemplating a unique tree, or an expansive vista, or study a wild flower. Maybe you sit and listen to a brook. Does it even have to be nature what if you sit on a park bench and appreciate the architecture of the surrounding city (though that might be clutre/art again in the way the museum is so lets go with watch some children playing or something instead.

  I am not trying to devalue art and culture but simple recognize what those things are is a matter frequently contested. It is therefore difficult say 'cultural appreciation is good for you' beyond well these specific activities in the study seem to help slow aging. I also think a lot of those things are less than accessible to everyone. Certainly a walk in the woods or over the prairie might not be either if you live in an urban center; maybe the art museum is more accessible, or the park bench. For the rural or suburban dweller the outdoors might be the best options, especially if your elderly and dont drive. My point is simply that beautiful and interesting things big and small worth spending some time to stop and consider are actually everywhere and maybe just that act is really the key here.

Arts and Humanities are fine....as pursuits of the leisure class who don't need to make living from them, or for people who work for a living to enjoy as hobbies.

Everyone is free to enjoy arts and humanities, but it's cruel to encourage expectations of gainful employment and silly to expect to
make a living from them. Confusing jobs and careers with hobbies can be financially deadly, so I didn't.

Careers fund hobbies so you can enjoy both. For example I can afford to collect and restore classic motorcycles because I did not try to make it a business. In consequence I easily afforded a well equipped personal workshop instead of starving for years to establish a financially vulnerable business. Fixing fighters paid much better.

A few years back, I went to a local community college...paid a few dollars to "apply" to take some grad courses.....sent transcripts, etc....I think a total of maybe $50 to apply.

For that I got a student ID with picture...and NO DATEs on it.

I also got an .edu email address. I've not used that in ages, but likely could reactivate it with some phone calls.

But that ID alone has saved me a TON of money over the years getting educational rates and prices.

Check to see what your local colleges put on their IDs and you might find it worth it to do the same.

It's going to get substantially higher than $4. I think it could end up pushing 7 bucks. Historically, the US has tolerated recessions more lightly than it has gas above 5 bucks. So this is a really really big deal, not least because demand destruction through mode shifting is much less tenable than in the 70s due to greater car dependency, and the SPR is already extensively drawn down ahead of winter. A whacking great recession may well be on the way.

Maybe that high in the "weird" states that overtax and have massive regulations on formulation, etc.....but here in the New Orleans...TX area, I don't see it getting that expensive.....

I don't get from you response one thing clearly...are you saying we had greater car dependency in the 70's or we have it now?

Also, what is "SPR" please?

I just don't see an electric bike/motorcycle holding any interest whatsoever to me...I LOVE my regular motorcycle....the sounds, smells, mechanical vibrations and with all the controls, clutches, going through gears, etc....it's all part of a visceral feel that you only get from a real motorcycle.....

Just pulling a throttle on a silent EV "motorcycle"....even though it might launch you into the future....will not have the same appeal...

Not really. The industrial field isnt trying to use the latest kernels or software. They are trying to run some LTS release that does support their hardware and they don't want software changes other than fixes for all the same reasons they don't want to implement hardware changes.

I am not suggesting still supported LTS releases should dump old hardware. However there is no reason anyone realistically should be spending time trying to get first gen althon64s supported on Linux 7.0. There may be no-reason not support them because it does not require an serious special effort but if it did, I'd say those users should stay on 6.x.
