And I'm sick of people with disabilities acting like it's a desirable condition. Yes, we're happy you're here. Truly. You have every right to be here. But that's a far cry from willfully saddling your offspring with a condition that makes life difficult for them and everyone else. Wanting to prevent this is not a personal affront to you. Interesting how everything in his profile screams "loner." It's not a coincidence that he obviously thinks just the way you do: he's fine, it's the rest of us with a problem. Welcoming you into the world doesn't mean we think your disability isn't a disability. Your ability to be self-aware and articulate your thoughts is a far cry from the non-verbal middle school student who had to be provided a refrigerator box at school so he would be someplace out of view when he spontaneously masturbated and could not be redirected. So maybe the question isn't if you are OK to be you, but whether or not you want to be HIM. Chew on that.

Why are you lying in bed for 18 hours a day? Is it depression or another illness? Don't kill yourself just for turning 30, I am 30 and life keeps on keeping on, just as decently as before.

Sure, but using the government to enforce the destruction of competitors and new entrants is the shortest way to that outcome. If Walmart wants to compete, that's great. If they want to destroy their competitors, that's... Less so.

What Millennium Park's 'Cloud Gate' Looks Like from Inside
You add a bit of nuclear-- 10 to 30%.

Then you size wind and solar for the remaining 70-90% of load, say 70th percentile.

During the remaining 30% of the time, you use agreements that allow you to shed load and you draw upon intermittent hydroelectric resources.

The solar/wind overcapacity factor and the remaining bit of battery or power->gas->power you need can be much, much smaller because the reliable nuclear base load really stretches the hydro and load shedding.

And you can use the "extra nuclear power" when wind/solar are overproducing to pump hydro, charge batteries, or make gas for power->gas->power.

Put another way: the reliable nuclear energy just subtracts a constant amount from grid demand, and the remaining wind/solar production variability is reduced proportionally.

And at the same time, when you do that, you turn a 9mm round that's flying at you, into a shotgun blast.

This whole thing requires more thoughtful consideration. You're talking about "better" off, but we are "best" off without any of the terrible competitors even having the ability to play the game.

Instead of going the anti-trust route for instance, we may just want to make the entire practice of using private data for any commercial reason at all, expressly illegal. Collecting private data at all, should be expressly illegal without the consent of the individual in question. Like a HIPAA-GDPR combo move, except with prison time.

Basically pursuing solutions like that, we should get serious with all these guys.

They're doing both. AMD has ramped single-core performance, at least from an IPC perspective, massively. From Excavator (2015) to Ryzen we saw a 52% increase in IPC. From Ryzen 1000 to 2000 (Zen+) we saw a 3% increase in IPC. From Ryzen 2000 to 3000 (Zen2) we saw a 15% increase in IPC.

From 2015 to 2019 we saw a total IPC boost on the AMD side of over 80%, and an increase in max core count in the desktop line of 433%, from 6 to 32.

I'm okay with this progress :)
It's not that they're not getting it, it's that your point is a poor one. A physical copy also came with the costs of storage, storefronts, retail space, manufacture, shipping, etc. None of that is true now. A digital copy costs almost nothing to store and retrieving that copy is again a nearly costless process. The only person who loses by locking up digital goods is the consumer. You're making the same arguments film studios made about VHS, except VHS caused movie studios to make more money than ever because it forced then to make better stories and movies. What do we get now that there's the digital push? Rehashed super hero stories and 90s nostalgia.

Another aspect of turbines is that they are huge steel towers. How is steel made?

So, even though we desperately need renewables, it is a sad reality that fossil fuels will aid in producing said renewables.

I think Uber (and Lyft) are absolutely adding value. I now regularly take ride shares when I would previously have driven or extremely reluctantly taken cabs. I also talk to my rideshare drivers and the platforms provide some much needed cashflow (and perhaps day-filling) for people who seem genuinely happy to avail themselves of the income opportunity provided.

I see no reason to think that those two companies couldn't be quite profitable in their core businesses in their established cities. (I think they already are.)

That said, their valuations in the market are comically/insanely/unjustifiably high, but that's quite different from saying they "add no value".

But it also has benefits that raising alcohol duty doesn't: supermarkets etc can't absorb it by selling for a lower price or below-cost, pubs become more competitive with supermarkets, and the highest amount of alcohol for lowest price value pack disappears in theory.
That's a great idea, I have been thinking about doing this as well, I need to just do it.
I agree and disagree. Full blown major depression or panic disorder or what have you should absolutely be treated like physical health issues. But, there are many of us who are perfectly functional and decently happy who could still use counseling. We who keep screwing up relationships, failing to follow through on projects, allowing ourselves to be doormats or stressed out cliches, the "healthy screwed up".

Crappy upbringings and suboptimal mental habits do not always come with psychiatric disorders. And such people often don't live their best lives because they forego therapy on the grounds of "I'm not that bad, others have it much worse, I don't want to be self involved and drain resources. Also I don't want a diagnosis just to get therapy." But something like counseling has been provided by elders or religious authorities for millennia across various cultures. It's strange that now, that form of counseling is provided mostly by medical professionals to a big chunk of the Western middle class. But it's absolutely better than nothing.
The headline says they're conducting repo operations until Oct 10 which is 3 weeks out, so obviously it's something more that just quarterly tax payments.
Their biggest win over Intel was using 14nm IO bridge to connect 7nm CPU cores ("chiplets") in the Ryzen 3000 era. They use 14nm for IO where there's little benefit to the process shrink so they can save the lower-yielding 7nm process for where it counts: cores.

On-shore is bound to be cheaper for a good while, but fortunately offshore is experiencing a big Renaissance, especially in the USA. I would be surprised if offshore wasn't cheaper by the middle or end of the century, as it does have numerous advantages to on-shore.
Perhaps, but therapy might also provide a motivational boost to take that action. I suspect that depressed and anxious people tend to have difficulty finding the path forward.
Quarterly taxes seems to have been the initial cover story. My guess is it ties back partially to the eurodollar carry trade. There is an unprecedented amount of international rate and currency arbitrage going on which has pulled US dollars out of the US and could easily manifest unintended macroeconomic consequences like this. One day repo is easy for the Fed to address but if it persists then it becomes a confidence issue and people to start wonder: is this just the tip of the iceberg? If the underlying cause really is a systemic imbalance of sufficient magnitude, then who knows what else could pop up. It's more likely to signal major problems in the economies that are importing dollars (Europe in particular but also Asia) than the US itself, but a meltdown is bad for everyone; this uncertainty may be what some traders are starting to hedge against.
Yes it has, mine too, I love cheap, easy rides. What makes that possible though is because Uber is essentially selling $1 bills for 75 cents. Uber at the prices it currently charges in most markets is not sustainable.
Both of these companies provide a valuable service, and in Uber’s case a massively world changing one. Even if these companies only end up being worth single digit billions, they are still great companies independent of Saudi money pumping valuations into the absurd.
AWS Lambda and ALB (Load Balancer) – The Boring Stack
Interesting observation.

I think it’s true. My take on it: Mostly occurs because California is filled with people who come from somewhere else. It is filled with restless people who are goal oriented and need results to be filled with joy.

I think places with more rooted populations find their joy in people and not goals. They are not on the move. There is a certain personality that thinks..I am going to move cities, zip codes, countries, jobs ..in search of something better. Always something better than where I am now. They are never going to be happy with status quo for long..joy is always a moving target. That’s what makes them tick. That’s what makes them good at what they do. People are people.

I think this is what is supposed to be true diversity. Diverse personalities. I find diversity based on skin colour or language or gender etc are such shallow classifications. Considering that, I don’t think we have diversity at all..because birds of a feather flock together.
When you deploy a datacenter at this scale you contract for an amount of power and you're basically obligated to use it. The trick is to get more compute out of the same amount of power.

By the way if you still have AC UPS systems that is probably your #1 problem and you definitely will not benefit from some fancy machine learning thing. Just get rid of most of your AC systems. For example you may benefit by adopting Open Rack 48V-to-point-of-load scheme that uses an in-rack DC UPS.

Few thoughts:

An increase in ON repo was expected but the magnitude of it was not. What makes the most sense is that there was a large amount of leverage that was dependent on rolling ON repo financing. Reserves are not as abundant as thought due to various financial regulations and also are not evenly distributed. The distribution matters a lot because some desks that may have been more ready/able to lend may not have had the reserves and I guess vice versa.

> I'm sure Uber engineering are tackling tough technical problems

They definitely are, but I think the point is that those technical problems aren’t core to the service. The value that Uber provides to you is a platform for independent, cheaper taxis – the routing algorithms and ML add to that, but the technology isn’t core to the product or the value of it.
And further, "nm" these days are marketing numbers. It's totally possible that AMD's 7nm isn't directly comparable to a 7nm (or 10nm) Intel process.
DEF CON has a lot of informational talks where research is presented. Going to villages also sometimes gives you the opportunity to join a team and learn new stuff. Research is also presented at black hat (though not necessarily as much, it's more for "suits"). Shmoocon and bsides, too.

I'm not sure if this is more security-related, but many of the top security conferences have lots of useful stuff there.
So in that situation, the banks are basically in a position where raising their rates (which earns them more) will lead to the feds covering more and more of that? What's to stop them from collectively playing chicken against the feds, while shoveling money into the bag until it becomes ridicules? I mean normally I'd expect a business being close to bankruptcy being told by an investor "This simply cannot happen, I will inject money indiscriminately until you float!!" will start looking for money dumps like buying verbs from CEO's, not opportunities to actually bring the business back in good standing.
Oh, it certainly was, for so many reasons...
Twitter, more so than Facebook even, is 100% dependent on who you follow. I choose academics, (good) journalists, etc. My feed is constantly enlightening, I learn something everyday, and there's no gossip or BS. Every time someone posts a selfie or some food they are eating, they are gone.

"Attempting to access a pointer whose top 16 bits aren't a sign extension of bit 48 will fault."

Currently. Coming soon to an Intel chip near you is 57-bit virtual addressing and 5-level page tables [1]. It would be quite a bug that would only crash on new Intel hardware on probably quite full memory maps where your pointer fix up code wouldn't restore bits 48-57 correctly.

> The UK’s already up to 50% nuclear and renewables on the electricity grid

In the last year UK produced

Coal: 3%
Gas: 42%
Nuclear: 20%
Wind: 17%
Solar: 4%
Hydro: 1.4%
Biomass: 6.4%
Pumped 0.66%

So 28% renewable, 20% nuclear, total of about half.

Wow.

The good news is we're not overproducing - even on the most renewable days (Aug 17 at 15:15) when 44% came from wind and 25% from solar, we still had 12% coming from gas, 5% from biomass

(edit - looked at wrong row on my spreadsheet!)
It's always been my personal opinion that they should sell their software as as service to taxi companies through integration agreements. Besides the nicely subsidized prices, the act of easily being able to hail a ride is a game changer.I really don't give a shit what car I'm getting into, as long as I'm not calling some sketchy number, talking to someone I can't understand, and having it actually show up.
Now that we've nearly migrated everything off Sparc & Oracle DB I'm ready to declare Oracle almost worthless too. At last.
B2B enterprise sales is a totally different beast than free consumer software. That type of boardroom decision making is inherently disconnected from the technical capabilities and even integration success rates.

This can be a bit confusing, basically some parts within the CPU package 7nm dies and other parts are 14nm dies. The chiplets that are the CPU core are the prior, interconnects (or the I/O die) is the latter.
