Coding is to CS as math is to Physics.

Software engineering is building the supercolliders for physics.

Meanwhile we have LLM's declaring themselves Mechahitler.

Good job University of No Job Placement.

(yeah, some Universities have been giving CS degrees for HTML and MS Office)

Good one. :)

If we can't move the planet by then we've gone extinct too.

According to the Timcast review (spoilers) he never says either phrase in the movie.

Just some dope making posters, reportedly.

Apparently all the immigrant and Israel propaganda stuff is fake too.

Marketing Buzz achieved - don't believe anybody without verifying.

What is the current total Federal budget for science across all departments?

We have record homelessness, addiction, child trafficking, and a curiosity about the earliest moments after the Big Bang, if that even exists.

Oh and not enough electricity for humans and AI aspirations.

Given limited funding we need to prioritize.

Cutting the War Department funding in half would be another good move.

By all means if this can be philanthropically endowed, like the Simons Observatory, that would be fantastic.

And where are the Oil Sultan countries on this? Muslims used to be the very best Astronomers in the world.

Addressable does not mean accessible.
IPv6 has link-local addresses which are unroutable outside of the local segment. Plus firewalls and VLANs exist so you can limit access however you want.

This is a _LOT_ better than the typical device that connects to someone else's hosted server that you have absolutely no control over.

Irrelevant... I'm not even disagreeing with you in principle! I'm just saying, there are people who raise hell about every little thing they can find that isn't to the letter of some regulation or rule that was written down. And there are those who pick and choose their battles instead.

And like the boy in the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" story, the people you're constantly running to with your complaints (AND those around you observing it happening over and over) will eventually decide you're just a little too demanding for comfort. After all, if everyone else is ok with what's going on and you're always the one who isn't? At some point, they ask why you're still working there instead of someplace else.

This one needs microcode, kernel, and hypervisor patches, the latter two needing to flush cache when transitioning between trusted and untrusted code.

The issue they're talking about here has to do with artists affiliated with multiple rights-holders, causing a big increase in costs to stay legal, trying to play their music in an establishment.

I'm no expert on this, but I did play in a local band once and got a taste of the music licensing "scene". Bars and other smaller venues NEVER liked paying these rights-holders, because the entire thing felt like little more than a money-grab. It's one thing if you set up a digital jukebox at your bar that makes the patrons pay for each song they want to hear. Then you can offload the costs on them. But most places just wanted to have music playing in the background, such as your corner bar where the bartenders act as the DJs, playing the CDs they think set the right mood for the establishment.

It's exponentially worse when you have these artists who might have signed deals so one of their songs' rights were sold to a movie studio to use in a movie, another is getting streamed from a site that paid for rights to do that with it, and maybe a whole album they released contains those tracks in a shared arrangement plus the rights-holder who released the album holding rights to the rest of it.

Now, the bar or restaurant plays the CD of music and suddenly, they owe ALL these people a cut as the tracks 1 - 13 play in sequence from it.

How many people can listen to your music you're playing at home before it constitutes commercial use of it you owe rights' holders for? I've sure been at house parties in the past that had more people there than my local corner bar did! It's all pretty arbitrary and they just go after commercial establishments because that's the easier money to milk.

The same is true of pretty much any animal... Dogs can kill, cows can kill etc. Even small animals are potentially dangerous although you're more likely to be able to fight them off.

Sounds like they moved on almost immediately from Wiles to Rubio.

Chief of Staff, NatSec/State -- DoD should be next (Hegseth). Rattcliff might be more powerful but they probably don't want to cross CIA. Or the call is coming from inside the house.

I either have grass or mud and weeds. So I reseed any bare spots every Spring.

Do you mean people tolerated slippery mud and thicket all summer before the 50's?

I get that motorized mowers make everything easier but I see plenty of pictures of nice homes and parks from the 19th century with cut grass at the Historical Society.

> You're the reason pests creep into other people's homes or invasive weeds overrun people's properties by forcing out native plants.

Why would anybody think not using herbicides is the same thing as not mowing your lawn and not weeding?

Opt-out isn't legal here.

The problem is operating on a blacklist approach...
One chemical gets a bad name and there's a campaign against it, so it gets replaced with something that hasn't attracted so much negative publicity yet. The replacements are often worse, or the side effects are not so well known and once use becomes widespread the side effects are found to be worse.

You've seen this with legislation that pushed vehicles from gasoline to diesel, reducing co2 while increasing other emissions.
You've seen this with food where fat/salt/sugar (that we've been consuming for thousands of years and which are perfectly safe and even needed in moderate quantities) has been demonised, leading to worse replacements where new negative side effects are regularly emerging.
Micro plastics, coolants and various other things are also getting worse.
