Exactly. The same principles that apply for solar energy are already in place for natural gas and for every other form of energy and the fundamental logic of markets is that there's a price point consumers will pay that's also profitable for the company.

That didn't newly become an issue for the first time once solar entered the picture. There should be a word for this type of argument where people relitigate settled principles because they're discovering them for the first time.

> Electricity is priced at the edge entirely because demand must match supply at all times. You either meet all electric demand or someone will go without power.

There's also more to it than just that. Supply-demand imbalance affects the frequency on the grid. Too high or too low frequency damages the turbines in the base load power plants, and they will shut down to avoid damage if the frequency goes too far out of range. Hence, too little or too much power actually causes grid collapse.

Solar actually has to be managed a lot more carefully than people realise.

There are a lot of smart TV's (name-brand ones!) that will try to connect to any open wifi. Monetizing from analytics and telemetry are literally priced into the cost of the gadget. A lot of smart TV's will even ship with their cameras turned on. And Hyundai/Kia and Subaru literally disabled certain in-car features for people in Massachusetts after the repair bill passed (https://www.wired.com/story/right-to-repair-cars-hackers/)

Given that, I hardly think that 'decoy sims' are much of a stretch.

>even housing produces far more economic activity than a shed full of servers

Objectively not, given they're able to outbid all everyone else for the same land. You might not like a massive datacenter being built to serve ads or generate AI slop, but the fact that investors are willing to put money into it, and no one else can outbid them means the market expects datacenter will generate more future "economic activity" than any other possible use for the land. Whether a $1 generated by adtech is worth more than $0.5 (or whatever) generated by a car factory is a separate discussion, but arguing over how much "economic activity" is the wrong way to approach this.

No, they're not electrically powered, but given that you can buy an electrically-powered 5-horn kit from eBay for $20, it's certainly the cheapest way to go for a typical HN-reading hobbyist/hacker. Getting 14 horns is then $60, and the rest is relays a microcontroller, and a bit of 3D printing for the horns.

Which is an interesting nerd-sniping exercise in itself: https://www.grc.com/acoustics/an-introduction-to-horn-theory...

You're describe an age where the government was a wash with surplus dollars. Secondly, most of these research institutions run as non-profits that effectively just cover costs (but run a large hedge fund as a side business)

The escalation in costs have come from: - Incentives around US News College rankings (and the amenities that drive the rankings) - Administrative (non-teaching, non-research) bloat

Research is definitely in need of reform though, but not sure these outcomes are actually causal or even corrilated.

> you're effectively being asked to vouch for, and pay for, someone you never met.

That is the basic premise of insurance. Collectivized risk. That you disagree with a specific detail in the implementation and that part, and that part only is vouching for someone else is undermining your point, not reinforcing it.

Everyone in the developed world has injected government heavily into healthcare, because its the lynchpin of a healthy and efficient workforce. That's the real solution.

For those to be equal you need both associativity and commutativity.

Commutativity says that a*b = b*a, but that's not enough to allow arbitrary reordering. When you write a*b*c depending on whether * is left or right associative that either means a*(b*c) or (a*b)*c. If those are equal we say the operation is associative. You need both to allow arbitrary reordering. If an operation is only commutative you can turn a*(b*c) into a*(c*b) or (b*c)*a but there is no way to put a in the middle.

The economic theory of MAGA, is that the united states yes rebuilt the world but also exported the US consumer economy through asymmetric nonreciprocal tariffs. Rebuilding countries made money by selling to the US consumer, not the other way around.

You can argue that it's overall bad for the economy, but I think you're missing the arguement.

>And nobody is forced to work, like being at a startup that has some liquidity hiccups, sometimes you take a delayed paycheck. Other times you find other work.

No, ATC's are actually forced to work by statute and contract.

It's an incredibly demanding and selective job (you literally can't become one after age 30), so there are no ATC's on the bench.

A lot of “traditional” industries still run on TUIs/even as400 systems, such as freight/trucking companies, banking, medical, travel (saber, etc). And many companies in those spaces who appear to have migrated away from those systems are likely just using a modern gui interface that still uses those old systems behind the scenes.

It’s generally because 1) they’re actually reliable 2) they contain custom business logic and rules that are not documented well/at all and hard to replicate 3) the people who set up all of these things have retired and no one is left who understands any of it

> I think too many of us are used to movies and TV (and Star-Trek-like scifi) that gives the incorrect view that extremely detailed information about the state of things is available.

What a strange comment. I never made any such statement or claim that a science-fantasy level of technology would exist in a decades old aircraft or any aircraft.

I was responding to someone who made the absurd claim that the pilots wouldn't be informed of a fire on the wing, when in fact they would be informed of that (which you seem to agree with). So what's Star Trek got to do with anything?

The Rules:

The goal is to claim the most space

Secondary goal is to kill as many other Ourboroses as you can The how:

To claim space you need to either eat your own tail or reach tiles you've already claimed, tiles that are enclosed when you do so become yours!

To kill other snakes you hit their tails To watch out:

Other players can kill you by hitting your exposed tail

Other players can take your tiles.

> The Democrats did have full control when they first passed the ACA and they ended up getting in their own way.

They didn’t. They had to heavily compromise with an Independent.

> After the Finance Committee vote on October 15, negotiations turned to moderate Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid focused on satisfying centrists. The holdouts came down to Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, an independent who caucused with Democrats, and conservative Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson. Lieberman's demand that the bill not include a public option[161][175] was met,[176]

> But I never said that the Democrats were supposed to fix it on their own. I said both parties are to blame.

This doesn’t make any sense, because 99% of Dems have tried to increase access to healthcare, and 99.9% of Repubs have tried to reduce access to healthcare. The sole exception being when McCain provided his vote to not repeal ACA.

So in this metaphor, is

-trump a B2 (aims to enrich himself, while overall a net negative to society)

-his voters are helpless (by voting for him, they don't actually gain anything)

-and intelligent people, including myself, are mostly sitting on the sidelines, save attending a no kings protest.

A few are valiantly fighting (filing court cases to check trumps power grabs, newsom pushing prop 50, journalists / media folks calling out the emperor has no clothes)

The only way this country gets saved from Trump is either the intelligent get off their duff and start fighting, or the helpless wake up and turn on Trump

I have a Miele dishwasher. Not only is there no place to put prewash powder, but I can hear the little door for the detergent pop open like 2 minutes into the cycle when on the default program.

This dishwasher also came with a box of Miele pods (and they encourage you to buy more). I think it's designed first and foremost to not use powder.

Yep, this bias has been obvious, and I don’t think it is limited to BBC Arabic. In fact I would say the BBC as a whole has become very biased in the last 5 years or so, showing the same shift we saw in AP. Just the other day, the Telegraph had an interesting analysis (https://youtu.be/EjPlfUt4S9U) revealing how the BBC was editing Trump speeches in ways that misrepresented the truth to tell the biased story they wanted to tell. Neutrality isn’t culturally valued by the current BBC leaders and staff.

The same Osho who ran an expensive cult in the 70s and 80s?

Putting that aside, it's hard for me to associate simple with happiness. That's the opposite of motivation, from my unenlightened perspective. It's hardly a rational or smart choice since not being challenged also makes one a bit narrower when it comes to seeking out new experiences. But even if you take the intellect out of it, it 'feels' wrong. And some things are challenging to achieve and bring fulfillment.

> Just doing this as an afterthought by playing lottery and trying to come up with smart properties after the fact is not going to get you the best outcome.

This sounds backwards to me. How could you write any tests, or indeed implement any functions, if you don't know any relationships between the arguments/return-value, or the state before/after, or how it relates to other functions, etc.?

For the addition example, let's say the implementation includes a line like `if (x == 0) return y`; would you seriously suggest that somebody writing that line doesn't know a property like `0 + a == a`? Would that only be "an afterthought" when "trying to come up with smart properties after the fact"? On the contrary, I would say that property came first, and steered how the code was written.

Incidentally, that property would also catch your "always returns 0" counterexample.

I also don't buy your distinction that "real life code" makes things much harder. For example, here's another simple property:

delete(key); assert lookup(key) == []

This is pretty similar to the `a + (-a) == 0` example, but it applies to basically any database; from in-memory assoc-lists and HashMaps, all the way to high-performance, massively-engineered CloudScale™ distributed systems. Again, I struggle to imagine anybody implementing a `delete` function who doesn't know this property; indeed, I would say that's what deletion means. It's backwards to characterise such things as "com[ing] up with smart properties after the fact".

>"More than likely it will be neutral or will turn a slight profit."

Based on what exactly, just your opinion? Obviously you know nothing about the grocery business which is a notoriously low-margin business, between 1-3%. The only way that large grocers like Krogers and Albertsons are profitable is purely based on volume. You also realize that groceries are perishable items right? You also realize these are labor and energy inensive operations right? And that there's tons of competition? And of course shrinkage. There is zero chance that it would operate at a profit or break even. By the way it's been tried before look up Baldwin, Florida or Erie, Kansas for examples of city-run grocery failures. There are others as well.

Lastly, nothing about any of this in any way comparable to NYPD as a budgetary item. Comparing retail food to public safety is just really bizarre.

> Something I've noticed is that it's much easier to lead the LLM to the answer when you know where you want to go

This goes both ways, too. It’s becoming common to see cases where people become convinced they have a condition but doctors and/or tests disagree. They can become progressively better and better at getting ChatGPT to return the diagnosis by refining their prompts and learning what to tell it as well as what to leave out.

Previously we joked about WebMD convincing people they had conditions they did not, but ChatGPT is far more powerful for these people.

TURN means it's no longer P2P:

> Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN): Relay Extensions to Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN)

> Abstract

> If a host is located behind a NAT, then in certain situations it can be impossible for that host to communicate directly with other hosts (peers). In these situations, it is necessary for the host to use the services of an intermediate node that acts as a communication relay. This specification defines a protocol, called TURN (Traversal Using Relays around NAT), that allows the host to control the operation of the relay and to exchange packets with its peers using the relay.

Society can't function when people aren't allowed to make their own choices.

Why can't they choose political activism? What on earth binds them to a corporate entity and over-rides their agency?

If you want to step up and be an Ambassador, go for it! But if you think they should be compelled to do so, that's an ideological/political point of view of yours and you need to substantiate it.

This comment sums up my own feelings towards this concisely :

> This is not a “I do not like this distribution” kind of argument.

> This is a “the people you are sending my money to want me and my friends dead or deported” kind of argument.

from: https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-righ...

Beyond the disappointment I have in framework for giving my money to someone so clearly off the rails, it's also disappointing to see it wasted on such a poor distribution as well. Omarchy, in isolation, is just a bloated arch install with thrown together scripts, zoom, spotify, and google apps preinstalled. I appreciate that it brought new people into linux but there are countless more polished and creative distributions that would be excellent to see partner with framework instead.

anecdata but my experience on dating services is Christians, on average, look happy. No idea why. I'm atheist and not interested in dating a Christian because I could not support their beliefs. But, it's uncanny how often the pattern fits. I'm pretty confident, given 100 dating site profile photos, I can, far better than chance, guess which ones are Christian.

Note: I'm not saying Christians are happier than other religions. I live in the USA so there are more Christians than most other religions. I'm also not saying they actually are happier. I'm only saying they appear happier, on average, in their profile photos than the rest of the profiles. I find it very curious.

Reading things like this makes me feel like there must be fundamentally something wrong with my brain, because it all seems like just a complicated song and dance that is maintained as a global share delusion for reasons I can't figure out.

Some solar panel companies in China are trying to extract the idea of value from farmers whose hands change actual currency a couple of times a year to whoever brings it to market, all other times "money" is sent around in SMS. That bit of extracted wealth pays out in volume, eventually, but they also get a huge boost from selling "we did an environmentalism" dollars to corporate social responsibility brokers who are trying to help ai and oil and gas companies convince legislators that actually their businesses don't harm the environment because they bought the magic dollarydoos from the Chinese solar panel vendors who are making money selling solar panels but also selling magic dollarydoos.

It seems madness. This system is efficient and the best one we can do?

I've had solar for ten years and just added a battery to it which _should_ keep the house running through a power failure for as long as the battery holds out.

This is yet to be tested, but it's very specifically setup to me able to.

There are some specific electronics required to continue operation when the grid is down, and with the explosion of popularity of home batteries, I think these options are also more common.

We absolutely need rinse aid here, even with a water softener. But we make our own with ethanol and citric acid. For us works just as well as the pricey stuff and costs us…. A large bottom shelf bottle of vodka (sorry, don’t drink and don’t buy this enough to remember) and about $0.50 in citric acid will last me 6 months.

"High performance has shifted into how fast we can serve bloat."

If remove ads and behavioural tracking, speed is faster

But goal of Big Tech, who make the popular browsers, is to make speed faster (fast enough) _with_ ads and tracking

User wants fast speed. User does not want ads and tracking. Big Tech wants users in order to target with ads and tracking. Big Tech tries top deliver fast speed to keep users interested

User can achieve fast speed _without_ ads and tracking

I do it every day. I do not use a large propular browser to make HTTP requests nor to read HTML

Where I live in California permitting is such a pain in the ass that a lot of work goes unpermitted. Contractors have a CYA clause in all of their contracts (along the lines of "the owner is responsible for all permits"). Permits significantly increase the time for a job, with inspectors needing to show up to inspect things before something else can go on top, and things that seem reasonable causing complete reworks[1]. The fact that so few people pull permits means many workers aren't used to inspections, causing even further delays.

1: e.g. I saw an inspector not allow two 90deg. bend in RMC because, while the existing RMC went through a wall, and came out in a straight line on the other side, without knocking out the wall, we couldn't prove that there weren't already 3 90deg. bends. Maybe that's the right call (the electrician certainly thought it was asinine), maybe not, but things like that can significantly increase the time for project completion, since there are downstream effects to the scheduling.

Related: The Preprocessor Iceberg https://jadlevesque.github.io/PPMP-Iceberg/

There you can find a recursive macro expansion implementation (as a gcc hack) that fits on a slide:

#2""3 #define PRAGMA(...) _Pragma(#__VA_ARGS__) #define REVIVE(m) PRAGMA(push_macro(#m))PRAGMA(pop_macro(#m)) #define DEC(n,...) (__VA_ARGS__) #define FX(f,x) REVIVE(FX) f x #define HOW_MANY_ARGS(...) REVIVE(HOW_MANY_ARGS) \ __VA_OPT__(+1 FX(HOW_MANY_ARGS, DEC(__VA_ARGS__))) int main () { printf("%i", HOW_MANY_ARGS(1,2,3,4,5)); // 5 }

It sounds like the one in the article works for more compilers, but there doesn't seem to be a copy-pasteable example anywhere to check for myself. Also, the "Our GitHub Org" link on the site just links to github.com.

I wonder this as well - it seems the most strategic path forward for any nation or community is to localize the supply chain as much as possible, but like oil before there's some things that are just impossible or super difficult to get locally. And unfortunately to find new ways to turn sun into electricity costs money to do and won't happen because the cost of the current method is too low to justify trying to turn sand into solar panels or whatever other thing you might try.

I dream of a solar punk future where basically any community can generate power without any horrifying pollution anywhere in the supply chain. Mirror powered smelters, sand batteries.
