Or stealing someone else's spaceship time machine

Im on some uselessly large distribution list at work for some eternally failing project that I don't work on.

They most recently announced a new framework of extra meetings to try to turn things around ...

For cyberpunk 2077 I figured out the good ending. Just never take that job. You can't leave that one part of the city or see credits roll, but hey.

They will require the requester to prove they control the standard http(s) ports, which isn't possible with any nat.

It won't work for such users, but also wouldn't enable any sort of false claims over a shared IP.

If you can get their servers to connect to that IP under your control, you've earned it

I mean, it's one banana. What could it cost? 10 dollars?

Yeah but their violence in Ukraine dilutes NATO military attention, even if they aren't that powerful a direct military ally.

I suspect the concern is that no one, including China itself knows how strong they would be in a military conflict, since they haven't been in an at scale conflict in living memory, using economic power instead to great effect.

If they are really wanting to violently assert their view on Taiwan, they want global attention divided.

So your take is that because the US has misbehaved, then Russia should misbehave harder? Not that the nations should behave better in general....

If they marketed on the actual capability, customer executives won't be as eager to open their wallet. Get them thinking they can reduce headcount and they'll fall over themselves. You tell them your staff will remain about the same but some facets of their job will be easier, and they are less likely to recognize the value.

Also codecs.. even with the right repositories enabled, you'll tend to install a media application that manages to be utterly incapable of actually processing most media.

They've made strides on this front but it's still messed up.

Also sometimes they are too aggressive on one front. Some of the applications you can install from their repository that have some python based features are broken because they can't handle python 3.13. There's some ability to install python 3.12 but without much beyond the core making it less useful.

The research I saw mentioning LLMs as being fairly good at chess had the caveat that they allowed up to 20 attempts to cover for it just making up invalid moves that merely sounded like legit moves.

I remember seeing that, and early on it seemed fairly reasonable then it started materializing pieces out of nowhere and convincing each other that they had already lost.

Because the business leaders are famously diligent about putting aside the marketing push and reading into the nuance of the research instead.

To reinforce this, just had a meeting with a software executive who has no coding experience but is nearly certain he's going to lay off nearly all his employees because the value is all in the requirements he manages and he can feed those to a prompt just as well as any human can.

He does tutorial fodder introductory applications and assumes all the work is that way. So he is confident that he will save the company a lot of money by laying off these obsolete computer guys and focus on his "irreplaceable" insight. He's convinced that all the negative feedback is just people trying to protect their jobs or people stubbornly not with new technology.

Why should that be bundled with peripherals.. doesn't seem to be a good "synergy".

That is your use case, that relative to your individual usage only one application uses the framework. In that very specific scenario, sure. However with electron it's forced to be that way for every single application no matter what your scenario is.

If electron packaged as a dependency, then it would be similar. But it's always forcibly bundled.

On the scientific discoveries, we have gotten the low hanging fruit. The twentieth century was remarkable, but the limitations of physics are harsh. A lot of excitement as we went from barely pulling off heavier than air flight to a moon landing in under 50 years. Media naturally imagined space exploration to be just a matter of time. Alas everything is exponentially harder and any further loopholes are supremely elusive.

Probably the one area with a great deal of unrealized potential would be biology, because the ethical easy forward is slow.

The thing is that while people struggle harder and harder for a smaller chunk of scraps, they still have a lot of quality of life improvements over the standard of living back in the 70s.

You almost certainly have decent access to passable air conditioning, which was far from a given back then. Even if you can't afford decent health care, the sporadic health care you can get is still better than the standard of care then. You can have a 60 inch television and more content provided to it than you could imagine.. You can instantly engage with people all over the world.

Sea steading, BioShock here we come...

But seriously the fact that anyone ever mentions Mars colonization as a realistic strategy to do better than earth shows how stupid they are. Imagine the least habitable biome on earth where no one wants to live, imagine it even worse by unchecked climate change and realize it's still just ashtoningly easier to live there than the most optimistic expectations of Mars.
