🛰️ Every SpaceX Starlink satellite has to dodge a collision almost weekly
"The avoidance maneuvers reduce the probability of a collision to about one in a million, which is so small that it's negligible," Lewis said. "The problem is that if you make a million maneuvers and you have a residual probability of one in a million, you end up with an aggregate risk across your entire constellation that you can't get rid of."

@sebsauvage C'est la crise !
@dada @sebsauvage C'est du vol.
@burgervege Il attendait que tu aies fini d’aspirer pour faire ça. 😐
@jor Voilà, ensuite il s'est posé chill.
@serimemo anche solo incentivare la lettura non sarebbe male
@las_lallero è davvero una sfida. Sarebbe interessante trovare spunti, sicuramente esistenti, di chi ha formulato idee su come fare. Cioè, i libri sono il media più accessibile, eppure guarda quanta reticenza
@peemee If his beard was not in the field in which he was, and thus was detached from him, it would no longer be his beard. So, to be his beard, his beard must be in the field.
Damn. This quote from Linus Torvalds is... well... damning.
In response to a discussion around use of generative AI as it relates to contributions to the Linux code base, Linus (creator and lead contributor to Linux) firmly states that AI contributions are welcome.
But then he goes on and concludes with this:
"The kernel project has been and will continue to be about the technology.
Sure, the social angle of working on open source is important and often a very motivating part of the project, but in the end that's a side benefit, not the _point_ of the project.
This is *NOT* some kind of "social warrior" project, never has been, and never will be.
In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.
And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit. Not fear of new tools.
Linus"
A lot of us are on Linux specifically because of the social and political positives. Closed source is control. Open source is democracy.
Linus doing the typical tech-bro "i don't think of politics, I only think of tech" harkens back to any number of "science without ethics" atrocities.
Linus is and has always been a tech-bro (or proto tech bro). He has his throne of power and is happy where he is. Other tech-bros want money and influence. They're all the same.
But Linus is wrong.
Tech is politics.
And his stance and guiding influence with Linux is wrong.
Linus just made a political statement and has shifted the politics and societal approach of Linux.
@tinker must be the heat
Yikes! This is the air right outside my DC house just now. The PM2.5 level translates to an AQI of 432! Air seems more metallic than smoky. Definitely not healthy to be outside around here, especially without a mask. (Glad I have my mask)
@mattblaze - I'm just south of you, so yay...
Regarding masks, do you know if the N95 masks are a decent enough filter for this?
Habt ihr gute Ressourcen für den Einstieg in nixos? Ich habe einen Rechner für die Feuerwehr den ich die Tage neu aufsetzten muss. Ich bin ein bisschen lost wie ich mir das am besten starte. Also auch wie setze ich mit ein gut repo auf in dem ich die config ablege das ich mit ssh von remote update kann ?
@tofu ich würde der einfachheit halber erstmal nixos mit dem graphischen installer auf dem system installieren inklusive desktop environment. von dort aus system config so anpassen, dass ssh public keys, user und permissions alle passen für remote administration. lokal auf meinem lappy führe ich dann "nixos-rebuild switch \

@healyn Some call it dedication to the cause, others call it giving a shit.
mfw i am on the very edge of the bad vibes zone
Yesterday they let us into the museum 40m before our reservation and we managed to get into two of exhibits that had huge lines later
today they let us squeeze in between two slots to see the big dome in la fayette gallery even though there were no day of slots (i thought there were but the slot we booked that i thought was day of was for tomorrow)
People have been so nice to us smh ;;
Not Starship. For a good analysis of the program check out this very good video from The Angry Astronaut...

@mattblaze what air quality meter are you using? Or is this just the screen of several devices on the outside?

Yeeess

The Free Software movement never escaped from its origins: the early ‘80s MIT AI Lab. Two things were true in this environment:
- Back when most computers had tens of KiBs of RAM and 1 MiB was a huge amount, programs were simple. Very few programs were so complex that one person could not completely understand them.
- The AI Lab was full of some of the most talented programmers in the world.
This meant that the only obstacles for these people being able to fix bugs and add features to any program were access to the source code and the legal rights to modify it. Once you have those, any program was understandable by that group and they could modify it however they wished.
For the next 40 years, the FSF focused on these two things. The world around them changed. These two prerequisites were never enough for most people (what do 90% of computer users do if you give them even a modest 10,000 line C codebase and tell them they can change it however they like?) and now they aren’t enough even for competent programmers.
When Linus says ‘fork it’ to folks who don’t want LLM-extruded code in their kernel, he knows full well that it is almost impossible to fork a 40 MLoC C (and Rust now) codebase that averages more than one CVE per day and have something useful.
The Free Software movement is struggling now because it obsessed over licenses, which was never a path that would succeed, and ignored the hard problems:
- How do you design environments that enable end users to modify their software?
- How do you engineer software so that it is cheap and easy for a random user to maintain a fork that meets their specific needs?
- How do you foster communities where people want to share improvements, so forks don’t proliferate even when it’s easy?
- How do you create an environment where everyone sees the benefits of user-modifiable code to such a degree that trying to sell anything that doesn’t come with these rights is commercially impossible?
Instead of tackling any of these problems, they created more complex and restrictive GPL variants. And well-paid lawyers found loopholes in them that allowed corporations to keep doing what they wanted (and even pick licenses like AGPLv3 to control ecosystems, because they give the copyright owners so many more rights than everyone else that it’s hard for anyone else to compete). They said ‘don’t worry about the complexity of the licenses, you only need to understand the legal details if you’re creating and distributing derived works’ while completely forgetting that making it possible for anyone to create and distribute modified versions of the programs was the entire point of the Free Software movement.
EDIT: Lots of people are reading this as if it’s about the kernel. I would say that the kernel is the least important part of a system for this. The layers on top, especially anything that directly interfaces with the user or controls their data, are far more important to build around these principles.
@joergi try now
@algernon The page is a static HTML saying "Still higher uptime than GitHub"?
@zhenech It doesn't say that - yet. Buut... I'll put it into a <meta> tag.
Yes. Please see our pinned post: https://openbiblio.social/@base/111249495782966888
So good. Thank you folks. It's a brilliant tool.
