Counter point on that, that might affect the legality of DNS over HTTPS

Reminds me of a video essay from SovietWomble about a game. Bit of a spoiler since he's got very few video essays posted so look away if you must buut:

In the game The Forest, he noticed that there's very little items connecting the game mechanics to the final story, and also how they messed up by doing part of the game world the wrong way around, mismatching two halves of the map and making facts from the lore mismatch the actual environment.

He mentioned how it was very likely a symptom of poor planning, and mentioned how the whole point of doing several meetings is so that even if you spend a lot of time just in meetings, you save a whole lot more by avoiding wasted work and keeping a consistent plan

I can kinda get the sentiment behind that polarization. There's such a strong drift towards LLM use that it takes hardline stances to try and slow it down

Oof, yeah that's rough. Thanks for sharing this though, this is the first time I'd heard of Tata owning steel manufacture overseas too

I'm not sure it's all of them really. Electricity, water, waste disposal and intra state roads are usually state/city owned utilities in India, with Highway, Railway and most of the Oil and Gas ones under the central government. Some are taken up by both, like public education. Even for the ones that Tata and Reliance are fairly nestled in, there's government owned competitors (ex. Steel manufacture and Telcom)

I'm necessarily summarising here, but there's a non-negligible level of public sector competition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Sector_Undertakings_in_India

It's genuinely impressive how many domains they've conglomerated into, I'd compare them to Samsung. Kinda helps that the family is more of the industrialist kind rather than the pure corpo kind, though I really wouldn't be surprised if they had controversies of their own

I mean, personally it's because I don't get a lot of messages in the first place, and most of the time I'm just lost in my thoughts and not actively busy so it's a nice change of pace. Now, even I'll admit 2 seconds is a little short, but I'm often ready with a response within 10

I believe he meant to say no lasting nuclear debris, ie not a dirty bomb. The bomb explodes and releases lethal radiation, but the resulting irradiated terrain will be comparatively safe comparatively quickly

Note that the article feels LLM-generated, here's the wiki link instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Movile_Cave

Percentages are somewhat misleading here. That's around 2 in 25, enough to falsely accuse a student or 2 in a fairly standard classroom for example.

I remember somebody mentioning a quote along the lines of "A 95% success rate sounds good, until you become the 1 in 20 that it kills"

Before we had diodes in our curriculum i was curious how one would wire them up or mark them on diagrams considering they were inherently polarized, given how electron flow is opposite to conventional. I was quite delighted to see the P/N semiconductor types making it immediately evident

For a sec it looked like the aftermath of a very interesting debate session

Oof I feel I've been cursed on this front. Any events I try to plan have invariably had zero participation. A particularly rough one was when I tried asking 6 or so people to join me for a convention, 5 of them had (genuine) reasons for why they couldn't join, and the last one tried their best but almost as if by superstition, their phone died

It's gotten to the point where (in an admittedly superstitious manner) I ask people to plan events on my behalf, and inexplicably that ends up working

I think it's starting to calm a little, but yes it's been unbearable here in South India ;-;

One usual use case is for IPMI-style server management, being able to remotely monitor and interact with the machine before even the BIOS is ready, so particularly more relevant to server deployments. For example, adjusting BIOS settings over a dedicated management LAN for several thousand rack servers

Apparently Jupiter's gravity well can work both ways, either stopping asteroids from reaching us or giving them just enough energy to reach us. It's quite impartial at that. This video from Braintruffle covers the gravitational dynamics: https://youtu.be/1zu41rrc_Ng

Ooh I'm appreciating the India spotlight, keep em coming :D
