Users ever seeing IP addresses is a network administration failure. Registering hostnames in DNS is trivial and should be done universally for everything that interacts at Layer 3 or above.

I do enjoy noticing data centers, buildings which otherwise don't quite make sense.

Where are the windows?

Why is there a 10ft border of large rocks arround their perrimiter?

Why is that cooling plant oversized?

[Perry E. Metzger @perrymetzger]

I bet you that 99% of the people posting about how terrified they are of data centers could not identify one in a photograph reliably. You could probably drop such a person across the street from one, and they would have no idea it was there. Many of them probably drive regularly by data centers and don’t know it, because they just look like normal commercial buildings. It’s utterly ridiculous.

pretty decent encapsulation of the last few years on here

California officials always brag about having the 8th largest economy in the world but their election system is reminiscent of what you might expect in a barely-functioning impoverished state with no resources to simply count votes

[Kyle Johnston @KyleJohnstonNet]

@_its_not_real_ Can you rollover without closing the account?

Imo, downstream of the prototypical outdoorsman changing from a neo-frontiersman who carries heavy loads and can self-rescue in the deep wilderness to the ultralight thu-hiker who can summon an helicopter extraction from any misfortune with a satellite beacon.

i hadn’t realized that hiking boots had been discarded along the wayside, replaced by aesthetically bankrupt trail runners with gaiters

An FP-1/2 drone struck the Project 11356 frigate Admiral Essen at the Novorossiysk naval base on May 23

First look at LC-36 from the air this morning after the explosion of New Glenn last night during a failed hotfire test.
Visible is the wreckage from the destroyed TE as well as the fallen lightning tower. More to come soon.

OODA really does rule everything.

[Casey Handmer @CJHandmer]

You have to be able to complete the agentic OODA loop under self-supervision, otherwise you need another human to micromanage every aspect of the process, which doesn't scale.

Basic technical question: What are the differences between steel and aluminum? Why aren't structures made of titanium? What acceleration does a passenger experience in an airplane banked at some angle?

These are not random gotchas, they are customized based on projects described in a resume or on a portfolio website. If you say you used inverse kinematics to calibrate the end-effector trajectory on the robot arm you built, I will ask you about accumulation of error, backlash, and noise tolerance.

Remarkable video showing the extent of the fireball from New Glenn's failure on Thursday evening.

Gosh I hope nobody was hurt.

@R1Jack @sgodofsk When he's had a preference our baby's prefered his formula to be refrigerated rather than warm. 🙃

@CrimeaArchivist @eigenrobot Lmao, that's way too many people trying to have the same name

Obama promised to “bend the cost curve,” but he never specified in which direction.
