No, that's when you want a RAID system with multiple disks.

This is only for small corruption, like a failing drive might cause, or due to cosmic rays/bitflips.

This is just EC for a non-redundant drive.

That's such a dumb, smoothbrained description I doubted the capabilities of the person who wrote it - at first.

Then I realized he was right. There isn't a filesystem that does RS or, really, any sort of single-device EC. This is a genuinely good idea, at least for spinning disks, where sector corruption is more likely.

This may be personal anecdote only, but I've only seen 1 SSD get any sort of data corruption as a failure mode, and it was a very early iteration - maybe a 8 or 16GB one. SSDs seem to simply fail outright - the FRU or something else failing for one reason or another. The storage is fine.

Grade homework on completion and be done with it. Then schedule in-class quizzes and exams, where students are expected to show their work as well as the results and do it hand-written. That makes it hard to access chatbots, and even if students do the drudgery of transcribing the chatbot's output will discourage them (if they were willing to do that much work, they wouldn't be trying to skip the work using a chatbot). They may skate by on the homework, but the exam scores will show whether they actually learned the material or not.

I read that as "land asteroids in the next 2 years" and I was initially much more excited than the actual headline suggested I should be.

Landing asteroids to mine would be much cooler than just a mere moon base.

Let's keep in mind who Elizabeth Barron is: she's the prior Community Manager at GitHub who was best known for DEI initiatives. Before that, she was a Community Manager at Pivotal. Before that, she was the PHP Community Organizer at Engine Yard. Geeknet (of SourceForge and prior Slashdot relation)? You'll never guess! (OK, yes, it's, Community Organizer, er, no, "Development Manager".)

Her only personal github anything is an "about me" blog. She has no repos of "scripts I find useful" or "little cool thing I did". She has no forks for things she's contributed to or features she's working on. Judging by her commits, comments, etc. she's still basically just doing that: it's just her, the marketeer. She doesn't have any code contributions anywhere.

She also appears to be a current, touring professional photographer (though, not frequent) and to have done web development before "the Internet".

She is wearing PHP like a digital marketing meatsuit, and while the project starves for technical direction and purpose, she's manually doing PRs about *checks notes* bunny.net. Seriously.

This is a language which should have died years and years ago but has been kept publicly alive by a bunch of low-tech-skill web developers who likely survive almost solely on inertia and having a corner people with both "Grandma, we told you to stop clicking on the links in your email" energy and entirely too much money.

They can certainly write code, but the code they write will be "their code", and I will at best be reviewing it for them. It won't be "my code" because I didn't write it.

ChatGPT says all of this is completely possible.

How likely is it that Flock is not already using its network this way?

imagine how flock personnel uses flock network every day...AI allows drawing conclusions from mass movement information that can provide information far beyond just someone's location. It is probably possible even to figure out market moves based on movement of groups of people.

This is not just about following any one person, this is about information movement, following a group of people who work on the same project for example to undersrand when they are going towards the same site / goal. This is beyond dangerous.

I'm still using a 40" 1080p monitor I bought for $50 in 2011. It's the only TV in the house and we just use it for things mostly made before 2005.

The new stuff isn't worth the time.

I fly 200ish flights a year so figure 70-80 nights away.

2025 was 100% hotels but 2019 was about 80% Airbnbs.

Airbnb will never get my business back. Ever. The professional scammer hosts are so good at finding a way to nail me for a fee. Iâ(TM)ve taken perfect check out video and still had to spend hours fighting fees.

Airbnb allowed making guests do it.

They lost so much money to hotels theyâ(TM)re banning hosts from requiring it.

The DOD/DOW have been working on this for a while. They discovered, early on, that the device had a propensity to cause permanent nerve damage.

It's very unlikely the US have fixed that, as they'd largely sidelined the work as a failure. However, at 36%, Trump needs something he can call a win, no matter what the long-term consequences.

I love the idea of Facebook money being used to teach kids how to block advertisements. $25B should be enough to teach every single kid in New Mexico how to do it, going forward forever, as a permanent addition to public school curriculum.

I was going to suggest that maybe we could even use a tiny portion of the money to establish a state DNS server that blackholes the adservers the way pi-hole does. Then kids stuck running proprietary "apps," instead of accessing things through their Manifest-V2-compatible web browser, wouldn't have to install their own DNS server.

But then I realized the aforementioned ad-blocking curriculum ought to have resulted in every kid building their own pi-hole at school anyway, so a state pi-hole is unnecessary.

It's not as important as you might think. If the concern is humanity being able to survive the loss of Earth's biosphere, then the enabling technology to accomplish that is recreating an independently sustainable human-compatible biosphere elsewhere -- which is not something that Starship, on its own, will be able to do within the next 20 years, even if it could place human beings on Mars. So if the Giant Space Asteroid comes for us, we'll be just as doomed with Starship as without it -- the Mars colonists would starve to death a few months after the Earth resupply ships stopped arriving.

Only if you upgrade to goldtooth.
