You press Cancel. The screen updates. Somewhere else, a worker is still following your earlier instruction. What should “cancelled” actually promise? There Is No Now.

A thousand manufacturing steps at 99.9 percent success each gives you a 37 percent chance that all of them work. Now imagine those steps have to reproduce themselves.

Why not to make it part of Git project? Such fragmentation adds complexity and vendor locking.

higher competition increases market efficiency - this is the real value
I hope it will support nested virtualization.
Perhaps this regulation will be a major force for next gen symbolic AI systems.
Re:The Universal Robot (1993) [pdf] on Monday January 13, 2025 @06:13PM (#42690862)
Our artifacts are getting smarter, and a loose parallel with the evolution of animal intelligence suggesLs one future course for them. Computerless industrial machinery exhibits the behavioral flexibility of single-celled organisms. Today's best computer-controlled robots are like the simpler invertebrates. A thousand-fold increase in computer power in the next decade should make possible machines with reptile-like sensory and motor competence. Properly configured, such robots could do in the physical world what personal computers now do in the world of data--act on our behalf as literal-minded slaves. Growing computer power over the next half-century will allow this reptile stage will be surpassed, in stages producing robots that learn like mammals, model their world like primates and eventually reason like humans. Depending on your point of view, humanity will then have produced a worthy successor, or transcended some of its inherited limitations and so transformed itself into something quite new.

Once we are able to predict our lives autoregressively, we can continuously simulate and choose better outcomes by conditionally sampling from the predictive model using tree of search. Your personal AI guardian angel at scale.
Green threads, prevalent in the early 1990s, were utilized by Java in its initial stages but were replaced with native OS threads from JDK 1.2. Revived through Java's Project Loom around 2017, this initiative introduced "fibers" or "virtual threads" for a contemporary lightweight threading approach. Despite years of development, Project Loom hasn't been fully integrated into Java's standard releases. The Java ecosystem, struggling for decades to meet the demands for fault-tolerant, scalable software development, also faces significant memory usage problems, particularly in edge computing or when effectively utilizing cost-effective small virtual machines in clouds. Scylla 10 times faster successor of Cassandra written in C++. These issues compound the criticism of the Java ecosystem, leading to recommendations to avoid it both for developers and users. Opting for Java in greenfield projects in 2023/2024 can be seen as a blatant disregard for the evolution of technology and the current demands of the market, suggesting a profound lack of awareness in modern technological solutions and trends.

They are pretty heavy due to radiation shield material requirements.

Hyllion Karno is a good example for power generation unit required ultra-low maintenance.

Hybrid-electric propulsion systems can enhance flight endurance by separating propulsion and power generation tasks, individually optimizing each for specific stress levels aligned with mission requirements.
Does this rule works for information signal speed in general? Does empire in space cannot be large than 1 month light in radius?
