it's very telling how everyone here is making the same mistakes USA intelligence made on 911 itself.

911 was some internal actors, sponsored by some CIA trained warlord who they forgot from 20 years before, but they could only see attacks coming from big nation states.

Here the comments are making the same mistake. cyber 911 can be something like a random operative who was given some covert training and now focus it on the coutry who trained them. instead everyone can only see full blown world war from well organized and funded nation states.

my guess: the (israeli?) company the US outsourced scada atacks on iran (stuxnet) will start selling the same tech (which most US facilities are still vulnerable to) other actors, such as north korea or syrians who felt betrayed with the US constant side-changing.

> No, that's not why. Gasoline is still largely king because it's the legacy technology, so it has a very wide install base and it's still cheaper.

Do you know why it's so popular? You can fill up anything from cars, jets, boats, planes several folds faster than the current battery charging technology. Battery also tends to have a fixed weight even if its used up which becomes a no-go for the military and aviation.

If what you say is true about the average electric vehicle driver, that they rarely charge and it's a none issue, consider for a moment the average gasoline vehicle driver, who can't afford an electric car, who doesn't care as long as it takes them from A-Z as cheap as possible, who are more likely than the electric car driver to leave in less affluent neighborhoods requiring longer commute, the downtime is more expensive than someone who can afford to wait around 30 minutes to get a partial charge. When you start to leave the city core and drive long distances, the ability to quickly recharge energy and get going again is critical.

The infrastructure for battery charging has quite some time to go before catching up. Ironically with the increase usage of such power stations, the power to manufacture both batteries and charging stations would still cause pollution and harm to the environment.

There's no silver bullet here and electric cars will be just another niche for people who are rich enough to care about the environment, while majority of wage earners would be lucky to even afford a used gasoline car.

Public mass transportation will benefit the most from reduced cost of operation due to fuel, but that's also minimized the trend of falling oil prices.

When oil became cheap, people chose to go around half the earth than through the quicker Suez canal. It's a testament to how powerful the price of oil is in our society.

> The most common way that meditation changes me is to help me identify that I'm in a rumination cycle and to break out of it, and to be more present in certain moments

I'll add that as someone on the autism spectrum, this has been one of the most valuable benefits of meditation. I'm pretty sure that I'll always have an unusual tendency to get fixated on things, whether particular topics, or particular problems in my life (often social ones). If it's something unclear, my mind just picks at it incessantly at the expense of everything else.

In some cases this can be beneficial. Leaning into an 'obsessive' interest in a new programming language or topic can be wonderful. But in other cases (often social problems), it becomes pointless rumination.

When I meditate, it becomes easier to 1) decide whether the fixation is useful or not, and 2) snap out of it when I should, rather than days or weeks later.

I've discovered other benefits to meditation that might be particular for people with ASD, such as being able to notice physical needs and emotional states. But being able to snap out of 'thought loops' has been the most beneficial by far.

Of course, actually doing the meditating is incredibly difficult when I get myself tangled up in thoughts, and it's an ongoing struggle to remind myself of its value time and again, and to make a habit of it, but it's probably in my top three priorities to make sure it becomes part of my daily routine, because it makes everything else easier.
>> Pentesting improved the way we developed websites. I don't know about how it affected the "culture". Visa has a really strong security culture already.

> The west helped create modern china. It was our money, resources, expertise, technology and markets that helped create modern china. Why would we invest trillions in a country expecting it to fail?

I think the expectation was that it's political system would fail, not the country itself, and a liberal democracy would emerge from that failure. Much of the investment was sanctioned by the (now disproven) idea that capitalism invariably brings democracy and liberalization with it.

If there is any kind of corruption on a Btrfs file system, it will report EIO and path to the corrupt file, it will not handoff corrupt data to user space. The application can't really do that much but say something like I/O error, check kernel messages, or some such. It can't ask the kernel to continue with corrupt data, Btrfs driver has no such option.
Considering AlphaZero was orders of magnitude stronger than stock fish, it would be interesting to see AlphaZero's analysis if it was available.

Edit: Alphazero's record against Stock Fish is 28 wins, 72 ties and 0 losses.

In a 100 game matchup, AlphaZero had 28 wins 72 draws and 0 losses. I'd classify that as orders of magnitude better.

In 1983 “learning how computers work” was a huge goal for many buyers. Parents bought computers so that kids could learn to use them, which often meant learning to program. (BTW, thank you, mom and dad).
This is a pretty bold change and really makes Intel chips less appealing. With the recent kernel changes for Intel's Spectre issues and this chip coming up, I think it's a distinct possibility that AMD will take back a ton of marketshare in the server space.

If these chips really do have a ~25% performance gain over Ryzen (not counting IPC gains), I might just upgrade, and I think a lot of other people are in the same boat.

This could be a fantastic win for AMD. I was worried that Zen 2 was going to be a moderate improvement, but this seems to be pretty significant. It's been a while since AMD has been first to market with a big winner...
When community activist groups combined with grand standing politicians can intimidate builders into giving up a fourth if not more of their units at below costs and best yet turned over to "management groups" appointed by the activist groups who are but extensions of the politicians election machine what do you expect?

You can find stories similar to such all over the place. San Francisco recently had a 117 unit fall apart after all the conditions and accommodations of all "aggrieved" parties got their share and drove the costs beyond profitability.

of course you get the typical political bs from the politicians and activist who always claim "if developers are willing to work with us they can get approved quickly" but that is the rub, the approval usually requires far too much outlay on the builder which in combination of set asides for "affordable" units then forces the rest of the units up a tier or two eliminating the market the developer was aiming for.

this isn't about affordable anything, its about political power and money. many of these "activist" groups which claim to represent the people and use that as a basis to go to court to block builders are in fact merely extensions of various political election campaigns.

Cycle is very interesting, and Andre is a genius. Even if you will never use Cycle in "real work", learning it enough to build anything at all will enhance your understanding of many things. Particularly around reactivity and state.

china and india have pollution from burning coal to generate electricity. China and India alone makes up 70% of the world's top 10 biggest coal powered generator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_power_stations...

It's also not a simple matter of getting rid of these plants, there's an entire political stake in seeing these continue to run, and there simply is no other way to scale up quickly and at a lower unit cost using alternative renewable sources of generating electricity.

You can always burn more coal or some non-renewable sources to meet your varying peak demands. Not so with other sources like solar panels or hydroelectricity.
It's not orders of magnitude stronger. But I agree, it's be interesting to see Alpha's analysis.

> Everywhere I know of rent control only applies to significantly older buildings. Which means that new buildings can charge much higher prices, which means that rent control actually encourages new buildings.

New buildings are what become older buildings. If that causes them to become less valuable, they become less valuable immediately because the future loss gets priced in, making them less valuable to construct.

And older buildings also become newer buildings. In most places with a housing shortage there is already a structure on any given piece of appropriately zoned land. To get more housing, you have to knock something down and replace it with something bigger, or subdivide an existing building with fewer, larger apartments into one with more, smaller ones etc. That can't happen if the building is full of existing rent controlled tenants who can't be removed (and have strong incentives to never leave).
The sticks I would use to measure a framework like Cycle and re-frame are:

1. How well does it compose?

2. How simple are the tools?

Both re-frame and Cycle have their issues with composition.

Cycle has inherent complexity and difficulty with composing dynamic child-states and circular dependencies as outlined above. It sounds like there have been tools developed since I last used Cycle.js to ameliorate the difficulties in handling these cases.

Re-frame has complexity with composition because it uses an absolute global namespace, which makes multi-tenant scenarios very awkward and potentially insecure. This problem mainly exists in use cases like having a developer environment with multiple states of the application on the same page, consuming components developed by external teams, and server-side rendering. At the moment these are either worked around or avoided completely.

The simplicity of the tools is something that I am very passionate about. As someone infected by the Clojure virus, I am pretty excited about the ability to use regular functions that return data to build my applications. It has been several years since I went down the rabbit hole of "everything as a stream/observable." At the time I found it to be very intellectually exciting, but also very confusing. Functions and data are much more familiar tools to most developers and the ergonomics of designing, developing, and debugging functions and data are much more understood.

So in closing, I would choose re-frame over Cycle for a project that I was working with a team of developers on. For extremely large applications that needed to be developed cross-team and/or have a strong use-case for server-side rendering... I would probably pick something new- similar to re-frame, but which fixes it's issues with composition. I maaayyyyy be working on something like that. ;)

>Philosophy is not a science, and can never become one without threatening its current epistemic/ontological role

It's worth noting that there are some who disagree and have some good arguments in support of that[0], and that philosophy as Wissenschaft was prevalent until relatively recently.

I think that the series is more about what is to cook food, not how to cook it. It's a different lens over the same matter.
Land use regulation doesn't preclude high home prices, it precludes low home prices. Excluding people who can only buy or rent a low priced house is an exclusive policy. Balancing that exclusive policy with a little bit of inclusive policy in form of a government/"low income" apartment does not make the overall housing policy inclusive.
In the 90s early 00s I got really into car audio, specifically Sound Pressure Level (SPL) competitions. The goal is to make your car into a resonance chamber for a single note and see how high you can get it.

Most competitors just buy a lot of batteries, amps and drivers and call it a day. However being a broke high school student I had to figure out how to win on a budget, so I went deep on the physics. If you go deep enough you start to really get into interesting work on the physics of acoustics and harmonics.

One of the things I learned about was the testing and sound suppression work that went into the Saturn V. A genius acoustical engineer named John Hilliard [1] was a main driving force for designing the systems that would protect the Saturn V from it's own reflected sound waves. Not only that but also creating long range signaling systems for the US Military.

In order to do the testing he needed to do, he had to build a driver that could simulate the SPL of the Saturn V. That meant figuring out a way to go past the 183 dB limit for sine wave in normal atmospheric conditions. You can't actually do that with the standard inductive-coil driver, because the wave becomes "clipped" and effectively turns into a square wave, which will cause the induction coil to burn up very quickly. So they needed to create a new driver that was based on air passage.

Anyway, fascinating engineering work. Unfortunately it wasn't anything I could use in my car but I learned a lot about sound.

Benchmarks on the 32-core TR are... disappointing, to say the least.[1] If you’re purely compute bound, it can be a win over the 16-core version, but if memory access is a factor, it’s a wash due to the extra hops to memory. And to my mind, there are very few pure-compute applications that wouldn’t benefit more from AVX2 and the like... in which case a cheaper Intel CPU would still wipe the floor with the 32-core chip.

I’m a huge fan of the Threadripper concept, just wish they hadn’t neutered the 32-core chip compared to its Epyc counterpart.

There are also 1 day / 2 day / 5 day meditation retreats for those who are looking for something less intense. Still can be great experiences. I once did a 4 day retreat but left after the 3rd day because I felt good and like I got my dose of whatever I needed. I would say aim for consistency rather than intensity.

Another thing to note is you might need to account for integration time after the retreat.

I've read the book and watched the series. Both are fine.

The series is in a weird place in between Mind of a Chef (which, in most of its seasons, is a significantly better show) and a more conventional FoodTV cooking show. I think they're trying to do too much in each episode, and also that the travel-show part of each episode works better than the cooking demos do.

The book is better than the show. I have friends that swear by it. I like it fine! It sort of joins a pantheon of "if you're only going to own one cooking book make it this one" books, which would include Bittman's "How To Cook Anything", Ruhlman's "Twenty", the Cooks Illustrated Cookbook, and, I don't know, maybe "Joy of Cooking"?

Of those books, I think Ruhlman's "Twenty" is by far the best. It's similar to "Salt, Fat" in the sense that it breaks cooking down by technique and concept, instead of courses or dishes. But I think it has a more coherent structure, covers more ground, and, while wasting less time on narrative, still manages to establish a conversational tone.
