> as it builds toward tens of TW of installed global capacity it could get there

And that's kind of the other problem. How much land is that?

Per this perhaps dated 2013 report[0],

It takes "3.4 acres of solar panels to generate a gigawatt hour of electricity over a year." Unclear on if that's only in sunny desert locales like California/Nevada, or average over the US, or whatever.

Anyway, if my math isn't radically incorrect, that comes out to 114 kW of capacity on average, in whatever these test conditions were.

Just 10 TW of capacity would require, uh, 1.2e12 m², or 13k "survey townships" (US land units get weird), or 466k "sections" (weird US land unit that equals mi²) or 298 million acres.

For some comparison, California is 164k mi². Texas is 269k. You could (hypothetically) cover the entirety of California and Texas with solar panels (433 mi²) and you still would not reach 10 TW of average production.

Admittedly, your scope is global and these examples are US states. But it is still a ton of land. Perhaps efficiency has increased slightly since 2013, but by a factor of 2 or more? 10? And how much space will we need in landfills for EOL panels?

Global demand was about 22,100 TWh/yr in 2011 (random figure), so say it's doubled since then; we'd still need something like 233k mi² of these panels to supply the world, assuming perfect capture from season to season and overnight. That's most of Texas in (2013) solar panels...

As an entity approaches the speed of light, its "timeframe" slows down. So the timeframe of one proton is slowed down so much that, to it, the speed of the incoming proton is only the speed of light.

A key insight of Einstein's relativity is that the speed of time isn't fixed and absolute. Hence, "relativity".

I highly recommend Chris Lee's excellent 2012 article on the history of "the speed of light" at Ars Technica: https://arstechnica.com/science/2012/09/the-complicated-trut...
This is the real "sharing economy"! The planet is not going to be survivable for humans and many other species if we don't start cooperating. If that means one has to give up enforcing their own patents in order to take advantage of these from Toyota, then so be it.

We love Star Trek, where the "...economics of the future are somewhat different..." where "...we work to better ourselves, and the rest of humanity..." So maybe this is the actual true beginning of cooperation that will make our collective future possible...

> For example, I'll take issue with build time. Sure if you're working with something that can get it down to near instantaneous that's great. But there's also a virtue in needing to plan the change you're making and what you expect it to do.

And I'll take issue with this too - my current work project takes about 4 minutes to _link_. That's the absolute quickest I can get. There is definitely a ride ground, and in my experience that middle ground is somewhere around the point of "do I check email/slack/hn when I hit build"

N9GL's RF Safety Column: Hijacking Science
I really hope I don't come off sounding needlessly contrarian, but I've had the complete opposite experience when it comes to TypeScript and functional programming.

I posted about the specific issues I ran into here, and they seem to be pretty fundamental w.r.t the ability of TypeScript's type inference to work with function composition in general: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19600475

But the fact that you (and presumably plenty of others) seem to be having a great time with functional programming in TypeScript leads me to believe that there might be something I'm missing that could vastly improve my experience with functional programming in TypeScript as well. I'd love to hear any further thoughts anyone might have on this topic.
I self identify with the cleaning staff, the night security guard and the others that are undervalued in the workplace. I also grew up working in retail and did factory jobs. As for nurses, I met the one that saved my life in the supermarket recently and I certainly expressed my gratitude, much to her surprise!

I assure you that I am fully tongue in cheek when it comes to 'proper' jobs. I do a little bit of coding and not telling other people what to do. For me coding is one of the few truly creative disciplines open to me but it is actual work.

I don't object to anyone being well paid if they work for it. Maybe 'rentier class' should have been my turn of phrase, but I am British and my humour would be fully understood in Brum if not in Alabama.

I keep forgetting American language is so different. We use 'bin' to mean a 'wastepaper basket'. We don't need the extra explaining words that bloat out the lingo but we do have things like 'u' in colour.

The full sketch on this private joke us Brits have on American use of the language is worth a watch just for next time English is over literal:

Isn't 'speed' defined with the use of 'time'? Doesn't that make an expression such as 'speed of time' kind of meaningless?

Right. I think it was fairly clear what I meant, since Prisma cannot really help to change postgres internals (and strict typing in mysql is a bit hit&miss in the first place), but for the sake of everyone else reading this:

SQL results, coming without any translation layer, are untyped. Your result could be anything from a string to an array with an infinite number of fields.

It doesn’t really get more structure than this big array either, regardless of table representation.

Prisma helps with that.

Here the problem seems to be especially that the return type is infered. Usually the return type of a function is regarded as belonging to the functions interface and should be accessible without reading the implementation.
Whatever you want to call them, the basics/classics/fundamentals are all just primers to get your mind firing on all cylinders. Having access to all the knowledge in the world is useless if you don't know what questions to ask or what direction to take. And since everyone doesn't learn in the same manner, exposure to a wide variety of subject matter eventually works well enough for most people.
It's probably not talked about much because I don't think many people agree that all those things peaked in the 90s, outside of some sense of nostalgia. Objectively, all of the cultural outputs you mentioned have continued to grow, so any sense of peaking is probably based mainly on subjective taste.

I think the point is more you have to go all the way to manual trim to disable MCAS.

For Lion Air, the pilots didnt run (or even recall) the checklist so didn't disable MCAS.

However Ethiopian appears much worse, pilots did run the checklist, had some success with MCAS turned off but couldn't operate the manual trim (unclear why). They then made the fatal decision to turn back on electric trim (and MCAS with it) and MCAS almost immediately nosed them down into an unrecoverable state.

It cannot get out unless you overflow it with more than necessary.

Normal shock levels range in 2-5g maximums when you are carrying around your laptop in a briefcase, backback, by hand, etc. This is tested on a shaker table in the reliability lab at 10ms classical half-sine shock. They also do RMS, sine-burst, etc waveforms to ensure that the laptop is going to survive normal use.

The capillary action between gallium liquid sandwiched between the copper heatsink and the die is higher than any of the shocks or external forces you can experience in normal use. Higher by an order of magnitude. Also, the die surface has extremely high surface energy - it wants to wet badly.

It is not going to spill all over the motherboard.

UNLESS - 1) You apply more than necessary. 2) The heatsink is not secured correctly 3) During the application process, you spill all over the motherboard (what Linus @ Linus Tech Tips did in one of his videos).

There is literally no need to worry - I wish I can disclose where I work to give some credibility.
Unfortunately, the permissions are rooted in the old server-centric UNIX model where users of the machine were generally trusted with all sorts of identifying information (eg ifconfig("8")). Those permissions were then augmented by a surveillance company, for surveillance companies (at least on the Android side).

When it comes down to it, even things like phone number, MAC, or current access IP address (as opposed to VPN egress address) are highly security sensitive information. There should be no way for apps to get access to these things, and if they insist on obtaining access, the ability to fake out that data should be the baseline of any modern OS.
This is "speed" in the sense of "how fast does time flow".
> The hypothetical recovery techniques (e.g. point nose down to release pressure on the horizontal stabilizer) only work at high altitude

That's not quite right. Manually operating the motorized trim as soon as unwanted nose-down trim is detected prior to disabling it with the cutout switches appears to be a viable means of recovery. It's also an undocumented, timing-sensitive procedure in a critical phase of flight, which is not anything resembling what airline pilots want from their planes.
If you have the chance, take a look at the assembly for the 360/370. It actually made a lot more sense than the 8086. When I was in college, the Assembly class was on a 370 and I did love the documentation including the banana book ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/dabcanboulet/131534936 ).
Assuming similar vehicles that come to a stop, both cars experience a deceleration from 70 mph to zero. That is the same change of momentum per vehicle as 1 car hitting a stationary wall at 70.
As others mentioned, this is the least feasible use-case exactly because the time window is short and the return for the introduction of the new scheme is dubious.

I don't have any decent sources on waste. I wasn't ignoring decommissioning, but what I was trying to and failing to communicate was per-annum figures (comparing per annum production vs. the storage required over the same time period).

From a volumetric perspective compared to what we know how to handle industrially the numbers are tiny. I strongly suspect the only reason we treat the waste with such care is because there is so little of it that that sort of care is feasible.

I've seen a big lead mine in operation. I wouldn't live anywhere near to one of them, containing the waste is basically impossible. With nuclear waste, there is so little we could literally ship worldwide waste production to the middle of the Sahara and just dump it there. 100,000m³ just isn't that big a number - I mean, we wouldn't because it is a silly idea, not because we can't. It isn't a very responsible approach, but in practice it would work. The volumes are small enough that in my view world-wide nuclear waste storage crosses the boundary from a technical issue to an economic and political issue.

There are lots of uninhabitable wastelands that have been created here and there by industrial processes. One more in a location chosen to be remote would make literally no difference given the scale of the benefits. There are a lot of deserts out there.

I disagree.

As someone who's rewritten several things in Rust, and even written C to Rust "transpiler", I totally agree with the approach of keeping working C code as-is, and switching to Rust for new code.

Rewrites from scratch are time consuming, and at risk of second system syndrome (especially when you suddenly have all the shiny new language features).

Direct 1:1 rewrites are underwhelming. After the initial C to Rust pass you end up with the same program, with a C-like architecture, and all you've done is replaced gcc with a slower rustc.

But wrapping a C implementation in a Rust API works great. You can translate C's implied ownership semantics into explicit Rust types. You can wrap all these C structs/handles with their init and free functions into RAII that never leaks.

It's something you can do in days, not months to years. You keep a fully working program at all times. You benefit from Rust for new development, and you can gradually refactor C out of it when and where it's sensible to do so.
Her family did believe that she had more than a nonzero chance of some level of recovery, but that was not why they did not want her to be starved to death by having her feeding tube removed.

Though they held out hope, they acknowledged that she might never get better.

Their objection to withdrawing her feeding tube was not because they considered it wrong to do to a person who might recover but because they considered it wrong to do to a person.

That does not mean that they considered every life support measure to be necessary. It just means that they considered the denial of food and water to be different than something like turning off a ventilator.

As someone who doesn’t know much about patents: what exactly would you sue someone for if they used a good-faith patent while not meeting the conditions of the good-faith clause?

How do you normally sue over a patent violation? Some estimation of damages in comparison to a hypothetical world where the patent wasn’t violated, then multiplied by some number so that it’s not worthwhile to violate patents constantly given that the court can’t prosecute every case?

It would seem as if the good-faith clause is basically asserting there aren’t damages in comparison to a world where the patent isn’t violated (or that usage is actually positive so long as it’s not used by someone who is collecting rent on their own patents.)
