The early days of Mac OS X was like that as well; most third-party devs usually followed the HIG pretty closely. The early days of iPhone apps were similar. That was before designers became way too carried away designing something that's unique and recognizable for their own brands rather than for the unity of the platform. And then it spread to OS X.

The problem is, existing market mechanisms for power don't work well for this.

A wind operator will face a low energy price when wind is overproducing; but society needs wind to be significantly overprovisioned to avoid burning carbon.

> The push for extra capacity and small scale distributed energy storage

Storage is really hard. We don't know how to meaningfully do it yet. Maybe concentrated/thermal solar power will deliver it. Maybe power->gas->power will. Batteries are at best a small stopgap.

Further, the net result is that we have less grid stability, because we have variable loads and lots of non-dispatchable generation. The loading on transmission is fairly unpredictable, too.
His views are all just hand wavey fascism. At no point does he make a tractable argument.

Citation needed.

Seriously, I can enter my pin far more quickly than the alternative of print -> find flat surface -> sign -> return. And we have contactless for small transactions where you might swipe and not sign, which is again faster. Both of which allow you to verify the amount on screen.

What really sucks for consumers is the ridiculous and completely standard US practice of restaurants/bars returning a slip to sign and add a tip along with the customer’s card. This means that without the card and away from view the staff can add an arbitrarily large additional charge to the card at some later point, and the only way to check the actual amount is to write it down a second time and check the statement.

When I hear "curl alternative", I think of something low-level, portable and frankly, something that will compile _almost_ anywhere that has a C compiler.

But then I realized I'm thinking of libcurl, not curl. So maybe this isn't so bad in Python as a client tool. Does Python 3 still start up really slow though? (honest question)
The sarcasm isn't helpful.

It is good news, because it means that the return on wind investments is a little better, rather than getting worse as climate change happens. That is, it's a (very small) means of negative feedback: as climate change happens, non-carbon intensive wind gets a little better instead of a little worse.

I don't understand this dogma that "ads = bad". At most, they're an annoyance. Not evil. They can influence purchases, but the final act of consumption is solely the individual's.

They're an easy target, but attacking them distracts from the much larger problem of government data collection and censorship.

Does "globalism" really play a role here? There are self-proclaimed nationalist parties today and in history that also caused great environmental destruction. And to a certain extent, shipping freight from say China to west-coast USA is equally as polluting as shipping from west-coast USA to east-coast USA.

Consumption causes externalities, yes, but I believe a global trade economy is overall more efficient than nationalist segmented economies, thus the overall pollution load should theoretically be lower with globalism.

This already exists. O_DIRECT exists, now there's io_urig too (plus the libaio1 which uses io_submit the old async API).

The problem is not with files. Kernel transitions are expensive, but the problem is not that. It's metadata sync (file inode + directory inode) and so on.

Install is slow on Windows because braindeadness of vendors (cygwin is fast to install). Package stuff is slow on Linux, because apt calls out to dpkg, which first reads the package db. Which is a plain text file with newlines as separators and it has to be parsed. Yum is slow because by default it syncs repos on install, etc.
> Google has said it uses data to better its services and that users can manage, delete and transfer their data at any time.

No, users cannot delete their personal data, unless they have a Google account. Google collects an enormous amount of personal data from people without a Google account, and offers no tools for controlling that data.
In fact, most of the naming in Urbit is deliberately meaningless and bizarre in order to prevent the project from congealing too soon. The intention is to keep things provisional and annoying enough that future programmers won't forget to revise past temporary decisions.

As a Brit: welcome to the last three and a half years of my life.

I’ve seen and heard the EU demonised as “communist” by those on the right at the same time as it’s demonised as “neoliberal” by those on the left.

I’ve seen people criticise the EU for having too much power and to little, and sometimes it’s the same person saying both things.

I’ve given up on someone when I had a conversation with them that went:

Them: “Leaving will be easy because they will give us a good deal.”

Me: “No.”

Them: “That proves we should leave!”

It's intentionally made to feel like that. It's exclusionary and puts a barrier to learning explicitly to only allow people in who have made significant mental investment.

It's not worth it to me, I'd rather do other things and this is almost absurd levels of exclusion but I like the obscurity-as-a-quality-control method approach in general for some projects.

Common Lisp standard also strongly suggests this behavior for the :if-exist :supersede argument to #'open:

"The existing file is superseded; that is, a new file with the same name as the old one is created. If possible, the implementation should not destroy the old file until the new stream is closed."

I imagine they lifted this idea from some prior Lisps, which suggests it's a pretty old concept.
OK: it's fairly trivial for someone like me to do this, and you don't even need "ML" to do it. It's just counting, binary trees and simple models.

Who's arguing against evolution? Humans evolved to use our brains to help us develop ways to prevent having to go without food for extended periods of time.

"Not only are we deeply wired to function for long periods of time without food"

So the body doesn't collapse after x number of hours without fuel. Your body also has the ability to generate its own heat when it's cold. Does that mean that it's desirable or ideal that we deliberately use these abilities? Does it mean that there is no harm or risk in doing so? I'm not saying that there is or isn't; I don't know.

"but when you haven't eaten in a while your mind becomes focused and alert"

This is sort of like the focus that you get when you're being chased by a wild animal or falling out of a tree. I don't know that seeking focus from sources like this is a great idea, but YMMV.

"since your body thinks it needs to find or hunt food."

So maybe your body is telling you that fasting isn't such a good idea?

"I'm sure Dorsey isn't the only high profile/ functioning CEO who does multi day fasts each week."

I don't do multi-day fasts and I've lived for years longer than Dorsey.
Gary Marcus' tone amounts to base trolling and it's a shame that's how he
chooses to carry out his criticism. I understand your frustration.

Regarding the lack of transfer, yes, AlphaGo, AlphaZero and most of their
variants have boards of fixed size and shape hard-coded in their architecture
(as they have the types of piece moves-hard coded) and need architectural
modifications and re-training before they can play on different boards or with
different pieces (e.g. AlphaGo can't play Chess and Shoggi unmodified). The
KataGo paper (the paper you linked) is one exception to this. Personally, I
don't know others. Anyway general game-playing is a hard task and nobody
claims it's solved by AlphaGo.

Regarding KataGo its main contribution is a significant reduction to the cost
of training an AlpahGo variant while maintaining a competitive performance.
This is very promising- after DeepBlue, creating a chess engine became cheaper
and cheaper until they could run on a smartphone. We are far from that with
Go computer players.

However, in the KataGo paper, major gains are claimed to come from a)
game-playing specific or MCTS-specific improvements (playout cap
randomisation, forced playouts and policy target pruning) or
architecture-specific improvements (global pooling) or, b) domain-specific improvements
(auxiliary ownership and score targets). Finally, KataGo has a few
game-specific features (liberties, pass-alive regions and ladder features).

The KataGo paper itself says it very clearly. I quote, snipping for brevity:

Second, our work serves as a case study that there is still a significant
efficiency gap between AlphaZero's methods and what is possible from
self-play. We find nontrivial further gains from some domain-specific methods
(...) We also find that a set of standard game-specific input features still
significantly accelerates learning, showing that AlphaZero does not yet
obsolete even simple additional tuning.

Finally, "it would obviously work so nobody tried" would make sense if it
wasn't for the extremely competitive nature of machine learning research where
every novel result is presented as a big breakthrough. Also, if something is
obvious but never seems to make it to publication the chances are someone has
tried and it didn't work as expected so they shelved the paper. We all know
what happens to negative results in machine learning.
I would prefer it to not be the default; it's sometimes useful to keep temporary files in the event of a process crash, especially on a server that would then immediately restart said process. I had such a case very recently, and was thankful for the existing behavior of tmp files.

I'm assuming that few to none of them got much choice in the matter, or at best a bait and switch promoting an opportunity to see St Louis, London or wherever. It wasn't so much to learn of these people but a self-justification of colonial superiority. This was the era of paternalistic colonialism in most of the developed nations, when the US still openly spoke of empire and their civilising mission, whilst gaining Guam, Philippines etc, and Jim Crow segregation was endemic. It's also the era that saw the rise of the fashion of eugenics and enforced sterilisation etc. I'll just quote from Wikipedia talking of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, though it is only part of the full quote on Wikipedia:

In what was enthusiastically termed a "parade of evolutionary progress," visitors could inspect the "primitives" that represented the counterbalance to "Civilisation" justifying Kipling's poem "The White Man's Burden". ... "But the main draw was the Philippine exhibition complete with full size replicas of Indigenous living quarters erected to exhibit the inherent backwardness of the Philippine people. The purpose was to highlight both the "civilising" influence of American rule and the economic potential of the island chains' natural resources on the heels of the Philippine–American War.

That, to me, is far more "set them up to fail" reality TV than National Geographic. Delivering an artificial message to prove the inherent superiority of the racist colonial master and for them to feel smug. I think I might resent being that "less evolved" exhibit, even if it was sold to me as a great opportunity...

It’s ultimately a hosted OS (it resides on top of Linux) with an immutable file system with the additional purpose that you build applications distributed-first in a manner where clients store their own data. There’s also other stuff in there obviously with Hoon and Nock and all that.

The Ethereum stuff came after so obviously it’s not crucial to the idea. The planets and all that are just names so you can communicate. The names are anonymous but persistent, sort of like if Neal Stephenson’s PURDAH was just a name.

I've been on about one meal per day for several years now. If I do a full brunch/lunch and late dinner, I feel so heavy.

I typically do a scoop of chunky peanut butter or some yogurt in the morning with coffee, then nothing until dinner. If I'm cooking, then I'll also snack a little while I prep. Usually at some point after dinner, I'm having another scoop of peanut butter.

I don't think this is for everyone, but for me it's perfect.

Years ago I would fast on a regular basis. Typically 1 - 3 days. It's something everybody should do once, even if they don't hit their target.

Like jahewson said, breakfast wasn't always a thing for adults. I'm not a nutritionist, but unless I'm training for something (which I am not), I don't see how my body could put three meals to work.

The place I work allows to work one day a week from home. In my team of six only one person takes advantage of this policy (not I). The others don't - or only occasionlly. So, I don't really expect anything to change even if the policy was expanded to allow home office 5 days a week.

That said, out of 100+ employees almost nobody drives by car to the office. It's public transport or bicycle.
