Shutdown speed comes in two forms - steady speed, the speed at which the prop will be feathered, which typically comes with prevailing winds around the 65-75mph mark, and gust speed which is dealt with via brakes. Enough gusts will trigger a stop and feathering too.

When the odd one catches fire, it's failed to feather or brake correctly.

Very nice and detailed benchmarks, but I have one complaint that's similar to complaints I have about many similar benchmarks: I don't see any explanation of what they consider "idle". In my fairly cool room (20C-22C), the Pi took quite a long time to reach equilibrium temperature - even more than a bare board would have, since I was using a heatsink case. If a Pi hasn't been left sitting over an hour, I wouldn't trust an "idle" measurement.

Leaving mine overnight, while running a few server applications mostly idling. In my room it hit an equilibrium temperature of 53C. If I recall correctly, without running anything at all, Raspbian would hit over 50C. This was back in August.

I heard conflicting reports from other people - that their Pi was idling in the same case at 35-40C. The thing is, as far as I was able to determine, they were all reporting the temperature of the Pi within a few minutes of a cold boot. This doesn't make sense because the Pi takes time to reach equilibrium, especially with a case.

Right now, having been idling in the heatsink case for over 24 hours, my Pi is at 45C. That suggests a maximum of about 5C improvement on idle since August. (Probably less though, it's a few degrees colder in this room than it was in August.)

To be clear, they don't even report idle CPU temperatures anywhere as far as I can tell (other than implicitly in the thermal camera pictures), so they're not lying about anything. But it would be nice to see what "idle" is supposed to mean specified more clearly in benchmarks like these.
Yes. Anything we can do is a millionth of the size of the flowing climate, its temperatures and airmasses. It becomes a heck of a potential power source, but nothing we do with windmills is going to have the least effect on it.
Gas in India is more expensive than gas in the US, yet the average American earns 30-50 times more money.

The JVM would probably be a step backwards in terms of startup time.
Yes though it’s more complicated than this. Executives often don’t have time for every purchasing decision. And a lot of “CEO plays golf with other CEO” don’t lead to purchasing decisions that gain traction with anyone at the client that has to work in the problem domain, and can lead to dissapointing results for the purchasing org.

What you want is the right level of decision making for what you’re selling. Sometimes it’s a skip level manager with budgetary authority and expertise to champion purchasing. Other times it’s many different stakeholders up and down the org chart (from end users to execs).

In my experience you won’t get exec buy in if you don’t have their subordinates and others championing you as the best choice. If the in house expert in the domain isn’t interested, you won’t succeed with the executive.
Belarusians are very proud of World of Tanks!

My Belavia flight back yesterday morning was a World of Tanks themed plane:

- exterior paint and headrests promoted World of Tanks.

- each tabletop had a blueprint of a different tank

- even the pre-takeoff safety briefing was recorded in a World of Tanks style!

Nothing we do directly compares. For instance, the waste heat from coal plants is insignificant compared to the energies in the atmosphere. Same with any other energy scales we can reach with our technology. The climate emergency is happening because we made a blanket to capture the energy of the sun on a planetary scale, not because we directly added heat to the atmosphere by burning stuff.
I can see the parent misconstruing compiling elisp with building a new emacs-like editor, but the thread (and article) was about compiling elisp.

Which path integral?

Path integral may refer to:

Line integral, the integral of a function along a curve

Functional integration, the integral of a functional over a space of curves

What private information? This links to public profiles.

I would never register an account on Twitter, put information in my public profile, then consider that to be private information that people should not know about. And if I did do that, I did that, this tool did not do that. And the "privacy" is already breached regardless of whether this tool exists or not. That definition of "privacy" is incoherent. Something deliberately shared in a public profile is not private information by definition.

(Obvious disclosure that I work on the project.) Slow, like, literally the VM is slow? There's infrastructure work being done to rewrite the VM at the moment, though there's been some major work in the last six months on this front as well that personally have felt like night and day. Slow, like, the network is slow? There's an update going out shortly with a rewrite for Ames that makes it a bit easier to work on. There's a good blog post [1] our CTO put out on how the infrastructure cost this year has been predominantly on planning a very resilient stack, rewriting a lot of archaic code to be easier to modify by more than just a handful of kernel engineers, more pliant. I feel pretty confident about the performance in future.

Gigabit is not important, remember when you could finally buy a 10MW electrical feed for your home and how much it improved your quality of life... Right that didn't happen because it is not important at all. Running 100W to homes means people can have electric light, 1kW means they can have motorised appliances, and 10kW makes cooking and heating practical... But 10MW? You had no need for it, so it didn't happen.

Likewise more bandwidth enabled applications only up to a point, 40Mbps DSL is perfectly good for watching TV and so on. I had Gigabit on someone else's dime back at the turn of the century and when I bought service for my current home I not only didn't enquire what it would cost to run Gigabit here, I didn't even choose the expensive 80Mbps option, I already know 40Mbps is fine. What mattered most even going from dial-up to 1Mbps DSL wasn't bandwidth, it was Always On. The Network's omnipresence is what matters.

Fibre matters to some extent for infrastructure, same way it matters what a bridge is built from. Fibre coms doesn't attract thieves, not subject to RF interference, lots of benefits for infrastructure projects, but Gigabit Internet for the home? Not important.

I think the concept of function is normally introduced during teaching set theory rather than calculus.
After being stopped for no reason several times and held while they take their time "running my license" AFTER they were done with the latest nonsense I said "am I free to go" , they said "yes" , I walked off. When about 15 feet away and walking away at a normal pace I said clearly and calmly "fuck off then" they arrested me for saying the word fuck.

Swearing on the public street is disorderly conduct in the state of South Carolina. The 2 pages of precedent is that you can't criminalize the word fuck due to the first ammendment rendering South Carolinas law invalid.

Courts have repeatedly found that you can't criminalize speech save for very narrow bounds. Using a bad word while leaving isn't "fighting words" by the legal definition.

A variety of cases have gone as high as the Supreme Court for example City of Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451 (1987)

> the ordinance is not narrowly tailored to prohibit only disorderly conduct or fighting words, but impermissibly provides police with unfettered discretion to arrest individuals for words or conduct that are simply annoying or offensive.

The constitution of the United States isn't a thing in SC unless you have money sufficient to appeal matters until you get out of the state.

I actually don't think a photo has the same intent as a scan. A scan of the type they made is intended to assist or aid in reproduction. That implies control of the original.

A photo is a view of an item. Angle, lighting, environmental factors chosen by the person taking the photo. These are all choices by that person. Creative/artistic choices in of themselves and in addition to the work being photographed.

A scan intended for reproduction is different. It is a best effort reproduction of an existing item. A copy. The museum made no creative choices. When you do a scan like this the optimal result is the ability to 100% reproduce the item. Molecule by molecule if possible but the exterior is always feasibly easier.

85% of Americans live in urban areas where they would have at least the choice of one cable provider (Comcast, Charter), one DSL provider (AT&T), all of the satellite providers (HugesNet), and at least the big four cell phone providers. Not to mention local dial-up providers which do still exist.

Again, it all comes back to the idea of some people "wish" the web of the 2000s still existed, but aren't willing to sacrifice the comforts of the 2010's web to make it happen. You can host your own lightweight website but Wordpress and Facebook is easier. You can search the web without tracking and Javascript but the modern websites don't work without it. You can pick from a huge variety of ISPs but they won't all be at 100 Mbps. Basically, you can have the web of the 2000s, but it comes at the cost of some of the conveniences of the 2010s web. A lot of people aren't willing to make that trade.

Nostalgia is hard. It seemed amazing back then but not many people would choose to go back to dial-up and phpMyAdmin. For those who say they would... what's stopping you? It all still exists today.
Huh? I think I’d try to introduce a new trend of putting this info on your business card or something. Trying to gather the info from companies directly doesn’t scale I think.

Without a doubt, there's an investment bubble for AI companies in industry: a huge amount of companies have added "AI" to their proposition, where the AI is only marginally useful if not useful at all, for the purpose of marketing and inflating valuation.

On research side, it's now clear the current AI paradigm will not produce the kind of massive, society-shifting promises that were made to investors, which is the focus of the article.

>I agree that the aggregate standards and quality of life are much improved over 20, 40, or 60 years ago

Over 100 years ago sure. Over 40 or 60 has it really? People usually consider more stuff (access to cheaper and more gadgets, the internet, etc) as an improved standard of living or quality of life. In other words they conflate technology making some products cheaper for a better standard of living.

But even more important factors, for a large part of society is access to healthcare, education, house, etc -- all of which have gotten more expensive. There was a time when a single earner could buy a house at 25 or 35 and get their kids to college. Now two earner families often struggle.

Middle class jobs have also become more stressful and pressing, while many middle and working class wages, inflation adjusted, have stagnated for decades, despite the increased stress, working hours, and productivity gains.
Good catch! let's go with that.

Wind turbines are dirty sources of energy.

They do not supply consistent baseload energy.

Turbines are just giant machines built off the backbone of oil and natural gas.

Humanity doesn't make turbines with renewable energy.

Trucks move steel.
Earth movers navigate.
Cranes push up structures.

All of this requires diesel fuel.

These figures aren't accurate, but precise enough.

Diesel ships transport critical turbine cement, steel, and plastics.

A 5 Megawatt turbine requires 900 metric tons of steel.

150 Tons - concrete foundations
250 Tons - rotor hubs and nacelles
500 Tons - towers

Let's play with some scenarios w/ conservative back of the napkin calculations:

If wind was 25% of global demand by 2030 *(w/ capacity factor of ~40%)

2.5 Terawatt hours of wind turbines require 500M tonnes of steel. (w/o towers, wires, transformers. etc…)

30-40 gigajoules/ton are required for Turbine steel.

500M tonnes of coal to make this much steel.

60 meter foils. (theat each weigh ~20 tons) make up the 4 MW turbines.

Glass fiber reinforced resins are made of hydrocarbons.

Glass is made with natural gas furances.

The rotor’s mass of such a turbine is ~20 metric tonnes. (About 75 million metric tonnes of oil)

Coal makes iron.

Coal + petro make kilns.

Naphtha and Liquefied natural gas make synthetic plastics for
fiberglass.

Diesel makes ship fuel.

PS: In 2016, the global volumetric production of steel was ~1500 Million tonnes. (+/- 10%)

The wind turbine hydrocarbon based lubricants industry is fast growing ---- https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2019/02/20/173857...
'Therefore' is the only part of that which is unjustified. I'll break it down:

1. The computer simulation demonstrates that simple exchange produces power-law wealth in the absence of value or meaning.

2. Wealth IRL is considerably in excess of this power-law behavior, to the point where it's a real impediment, because…

3. Wealth IRL owes more to capital protecting itself and rewriting the market's or government's rules to cheat. Skill has next to nothing to do with it: wealth derives from crime, manipulation and abuse, and there isn't a fortune anywhere that doesn't have blood on it. So, far from being a simple claim that 'wealth IRL does not correlate with merit/skill', I am rather claiming that wealth IRL correlates with evil, abuse, and criminality. Admittedly worse than your 'how dare you say wealth isn't correlated with merit', but there it is. Sorries :)

The fact that random chance also helps some of these criminals get their start is just a sort of bonus for the criminals, and a handicap to any free market system that might otherwise be a mechanism serving to assert a sort of crude meritocracy. Skill means absolutely nothing. It's about the ability to act criminally and to exploit existing resources and personal relationships, and always has been, all the way on back into dim prehistory.

When it gets too extreme, the guillotines come out or there's some sort of typically very destructive revolution that serves as a great setback to civilization in general. This, too, has happened over and over. It happens not when evil grows too great in its abuse of the peasantry (because nobody ever cares about them), but when the 10 percent or the 1 percent start to get beat up too much by that 0.01 percent, just as the original article highlights. When the 'upper middle class' starts to suffer, that's when things get dicey, because those are the people who can afford to fight their rulers and who have the time, attention and resources to do so.

How's that, does that help? :)

I have relatives in Oakland. They own a couple of houses, rent one out and due to home value, are multi-millionaires. They live a lifestyle of multi-millionaires as a result of their belief that they are multi-millionaires. If anything happens to property values there, they are screwed. I can only imagine most of the people who own homes there behave similarly using credit cards and other means to live a fancy lifestyle believing one day they will sell their property and pay everything off.

I don't hate them, but the phrase "California values" has a deeply negative connotation to me. Everything they do screams of hypocrisy.

Tesla needs more charging stations. The way to get them is to convert Tesla chargers and cars to CCS. Tesla should also allow any EV to charge at their CCS chargers, just like any EV (including Teslas) can charge at any CCS charger today. That will create more charging infrastructure for everyone to support the growing number of EVs on the road.

Europe has standardized on CCS. It took Tesla about four months to retrofit CCS plugs to their chargers. Unfortunately it's still the case that only Teslas can charge at them. Tesla should rectify that:

https://insideevs.com/news/343728/most-tesla-superchargers-n...

Tesla could do the same and better in North America - fit CCS plugs and allow all EVs to charge.

There are about 2,634 CCS DC charger locations in the US and Canada today:

https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html

The CCS charging infrastructure is growing faster than Tesla's network. Tesla might as well get on the CCS bandwagon now.
