I am sometimes amazed how complicated UI can someone create with e.g. four arrows and two extra buttons.

Like, I would naively assume that the arrows would move your selection up, down, left, right, and one of the extra buttons would be "select/confirm" and the other would be "escape". But no, that would be too easy. Depending on exact position in the menu, sometimes the right arrow, sometimes the first extra button, and sometimes the second extra button selects the highlighted thing. Sometimes up and down arrows increase the selected thing (e.g. volume, brightness) and you need to press one of the extra buttons to stop doing it. Sometimes one of those extra buttons acts as a hotkey that will switch you to a completely different menu, so it will take five minutes to navigate back.

Then sometimes a confirmation windows opens, with two buttons "yes" and "no", one of them is pink and another is light blue, if you press any of the four arrows, the colors switch, and you are free to make your guess whether pressing the extra button will confirm the pink option, confirm the light blue option, take you to a completely different place, or turn off the menu.
> In Germany, lots of electricity is produced from renewables at times when it’s not needed. This causes market prices to be negative at times and Germany is paying neighboring countries money to buy that excess electricity.

The problem is that people cannot access these wholesale spot markets, only wholesalers. The consumer prices are usually set at like 11c kWh. If companies were given a chance to purchase electricity in a spot market, there would probably be some interesting business use-cases built around it, such as opportunistic bitcoin mining or battery arbitraging.
3nm and 5nm are just marketing names it does not represent any geometry of the transistor. Probably the best analogy is 3nm would be the average length of the side of a pixel. One draws a transistor, or anything else, from many pixels.

The exact details are under NDA but to get a 'very' approximate idea of the scale of things one can look at the 5nm Wikipedia page.

They list the metal pitch as 30nm in TSMC's N5 node so in general two pieces of metal cannot be within 6 'pixels' of one another. One gets a rough guess on the distance between transistors by looking at the gate pitch (roughly 10 pixels in this case) but that measurement comes with a lot of caveats too.

Keep in mind this is when you're going out of your way to make something tiny but there are many good electrical engineering reasons to make the transistors larger still, and quite a lot of them are.

>It is General Relativity that is Einstein's really only major contribution worth noting.

Special relativity was a leap no one else was making, despite 20+ years of people knowing enough to make the leap. He also postulated light was made of photons (which was correct) to explain the photoelectric effect, which is another amazingly important thing. That one a Nobel Prize, but according to you, this is not a major contribution?

He developed the quantum theory of heat, also correct.

He gave solid empirical evidence for atomic theory using statistical physics.

He showed energy and mass are interchangeable (E=mc^2).

He predicted gravitational waves, just recently demonstrated, giving Thorne and other a Nobel. Had this demonstration been during Einstein's life, he would have gotten another Nobel prize.

He discovered the field equations predicted a dynamic, changing universe, something so far from thought at the time he tried to fight it by adding a cosmological constant, but he published the dynamic possibility anyways.

He (with Rosen) created a model of wormholes in 1935.

He invented Bose-Einstein condensates (Bose published statistics on photons, Einstein modified that to apply more widely and demosnteated completely new states of matter).

I could go on and on.

It's baffling you consider all this, especially one Nobel prize and enough for a second, to not be major contributions to physics.

>had Einstein not given us General Relativity, it might have taken another 50 or 75 years for that to appear

Also not true. As you yourself pointed out, Hilbert was right there, and if Einstein had not published, it would not have been more than a year until Hilbert (or a host of others) would have made the same discovery.

This "50 or 75 year" claim is just pulled from nowhere, like a lot of your other claims.

Rereading your posts on this, you clearly have selected at every possible point an anti-Einstein view, far more than is reasonable from the evidence. I could go on to post a ton more sourced items you get wrong.

Oh well, hopefully anyone reading this deep doesn't just believe the things you wrote, but takes some time to check them. I've provided enough places for them to start.

They don’t have yet herd immunity and their results are worse with respect to all comparable countries that had a lockdown. What you say is categorically false.
Reply all as one of the top podcasts to learn from?!

I love reply all, but I do not think it's a great resource for learning.

I'd much rather see Science VS, The knowledge project, 80000 hours, rationally speaking or flash forward. Over reply all if the goal is to learn something new. Albeit those aren't all super focused on learning stuff, but they all certainly taught me more than reply all did.
Texture matters. I bought this screen cover for my iPad for the explicit use of adding texture since 99% of my iPad usage is with Apple Pencil. I had read it has a paper texture unlike other slick covers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00G4SA1FG/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_i...

Goldman revamps employee reviews, opening door to greater job cuts
"As of 2016, global lithium-ion battery production capacity was 28 gigawatt-hours, with 16.4 GWh in China."

UK current electricity demand is 30GW. So the demand for one hour is similar to the entire lithium battery production for a whole year.

How many hours worth of storage would we need to balance the energy grid using only battery storage? Off grid homes usually aim for around 3-7 days worth. Obviously that's excessive for a whole country where weather conditions vary across the country but I'd think several house would be required to account for peak in demand at times of low production.

Realistically distributed storage and load side control I think are more likely to be a bigger part of making it work.
I kick started the first Remarkable and found it indispensable for grad school. It's just not practical to carry around a printout of every paper you've ever read for any of your classes, but a nice eink tablet meant I could read without eye strain and have older sources if I needed them.

I agree it's a poor replacement for writing notes on paper and I paired it with traditional notebooks for notes in class.
A friend told me a story once about someone being crazy with a car (e.g. driving onto a playground or something like that), so someone else in a giant lifted truck just ran over the hood of the car to stop them. I guess in the US, it makes sense that the answer to car attacks would be bigger cars to stop them.
Ohh, ok that explains why my March order has not shipped. I sort of expected that... but given that they did ship RM1 I was hoping for quicker delivery.

best quote (of a quote):

> “We interviewed a number of Ngo’s customers, who were pretty open about why they were using his services,” O’Neill said. “Many of them told us the same thing: Buying identities was so much better for them than stolen payment card data, because card data could be used once or twice before it was no good to them anymore. But identities could be used over and over again for years.”

<sarcasm>good thing the few companies who had to pay damages to those leaks covered a few dollars for one or two years of some useless data-protection scams, who do no good other than having your data pulverized to another potential data leak</sarcasm>

Can't wait for a time where PGP is part of the k12 curriculum and we can have a decent solution for all that.
Obviously no one knew what form it would take, but people were pointing out inflated housing prices[1] and other shady tactics in the mortgage market for YEARS.

I'm a big fan of pen-and-paper.

But years ago, on a Windows 8 Tablet, I copy/pasted my first handwritten note. That's when I knew that there's a huge future in the UI design of "paper-like" digital written notes.

Copy/paste. "Insert". Zoom. The digital landscape can make superior paper for thinking. It's still not as good as paper, but every year new devices come out and push the limits of UI / paper-like feel.

Eventually, someone will figure it out. Until then, tech-nerds will play with the toy and try to figure out how to make it better.

Artists have largely moved to digital ink / digital drawing styles. Its a bit odd that "thinkers" haven't found a computerized tool for "writing & thinking" yet.

Clearly, Remarkable (I never used this tablet before) is aiming at this niche. I'd probably give it a try, with a cautious degree of pessimism. I still haven't found anything as good as a $20 paper-notebook (Leuchtturm1917) and a $10 pencil (Pentel Kerry). But I await the day when some technology can replicate the experience.
Go is basically almost as fast as C++.
I also added a screen cover to my iPad to get texture with Pencil.

Adam, this is around the tenth comment of yours I've read in this thread.

You come across as defensive, hostile, and smug.

If you had confidence in your decision about pricing (which is being roundly panned, for good reason), you wouldn't be treating potential customers this way.
As pointed out, the banks also have a say. And banks are notoriously risk-averse and prudish. It's much easier for them to say "no" than "yes".
This is completely irrelevant to GP's claim that Africa was only used as an example because of population density.
A lot of what you are talking about is market related, rather than instrinsic to renewables. And capital costs for solar and wind do help with these issues. It could mean that you can afford to generate less and turn off when demand is low. It means that more money is available for battery storage or grid reinforcement.

Interconnection could also make a big difference. You can export power from the North Sea to Germany or from Germany to Belgium for example. And ideally the market across Europe would help encourage cross border imports from less carbon intensive sources.

Obviously nothing is a 100% solution, but that is why we have a grid and a market.

What Happens When a Founder Is Too Sick to Work?
Adam, I think what you’re doing is cool and important. One of the reasons I’ve struggled to buy an iPad is I just don’t know how to tackle using the killer feature - immersive interactivity - for thinking.

Most note apps are just that: note apps. I’m sure as you went on the journey of building this, you assessed and categorized every app out there.

As an indecisive consumer, understanding the landscape and thus the unique value for Muse (relative to the other offerings) would be huge. Is this in the same category as a note taking app, what are the philosophical differences, etc. Maybe that doesn’t make a ton of sense, so let me try making the point in a different way:

if you’re right - you’ll have changed the path for humanity’s thinking in the biggest way since the “text editor”. Buying in requires me to understand the compromises and trade offs - something that could be accommodated by sharing your design principles publicly.

For me, I’ve been waiting on the right App to buy an iPad. I’m not sure if this is it, but I have a maxed out iPad Pro I just bought my wife so I can at least give it a go. Good luck to both of us.
Benefits of this for large system projects cannot be understated. The notion that there's a many-to-one mapping between allowed representations of the source code and a canonical representation is very smart because it enables bidirectional preferences; not only can the main source make assumptions about code format independent of individual user preferences, but individual users can have preferences independent of the main source; code that is in a canonical format is easier to apply custom formatting to.

In addition, a canonical format makes it slightly easier to do plaintext search indexing, so you can get some of the benefits of having the code parsed into a full AST without needing to do that parsing.
You got it entirely backwards: software support document formats, not the other way around.

And no, Kindle Paperwhite is not Amazon's flagship e-reader. The first gen Paperwhite was released way back in 2012. I don't expect any company to add support for new doc formats for e-readers sold clearly a decade ago. The features specifically mentioned in the article were pinch and zoom, which as you might imagine are CPU and graphical-intensive and out of scope for BW readers designed to paginate through reflowable books.
There was a discussion about such plants and phytomining for a post from a few months ago. It got me more interesting in the topic. Here is the post from 6 months ago for the article and discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22457338
Claiming as factual all the things you did is not "in the ballpark." It's simply wrong, and oddly skewed to paint the worst possible light with ad hominem, misconceptions, and lies.

Yes, plenty of people were working on similar stuff - this is true for every single case I've ever dug into (Newton, Gauss, Tesla, Einstein, Witten, Feynman, Wright Brothers, Marconi, transistor, laser, fission, fusion, ...), but to claim (as you did) that the person who actually make the breakthrough did not do it (and backing it by lies, as I sourced), is deceitful.

I've yet to see someone create something so vastly improved from the world around them that it would not have been made by another person or group immediately. But that does not mean it's fine to discount the work of the person who did it first, especially if that requires falsehoods.
You quoted a part of my comment and then ignored it in yours. Fossil fuels don't even enter into my comment, I'm merely pointing out the the multiple billions of dollars and multiple years required to create a new nuclear power plant make it non-viable when compared to the current cost of renewable power and grid scale energy storage. These are publicly available numbers, you are free to look it up and do your own calculations if you doubt me.

Also, you're simply unaware of commercially successful energy storage. The most high profile example being perhaps the battery pack Tesla installed in Australia for $90.6M AUD, and generated $13.1M AUD in revenue in just six months[1]. Clearly a very good ROI. Pumped Hydro is used all over the world and is even more cost effective.

Free speech is a noble ideal, but it seems like the current implementation of the Internet has turned that ideal on its head.

Yes, everyone should be able to say whatever they want to say, but no one should be forced to hear it. The way we implement discussion forums, chats, issue trackers, wikis, etc. is perhaps giving too many privileges to the mob.

I am partial to the idea of someone getting to decide, in advance, who they can see or hear. Letting the mob in, and then muting or banning after the fact can be exploited too easily.

Not necessarily, as a significant part of a reading experience is the reader.

For example, I'm bound to a specific PDF reader that has a very powerful annotations system. The last time I checked Epub readers, there was nothing that satisfied my requirements.

A couple of additional notes:

- the downside of reflowing is that you may not be able to take annotations that require absolute positioning

- for almost all the PDF books I've read (books; magazines are a different story, but that won't work with Epub anyway), a 3:2 10" tablet is enough; if the text is not large enough, good PDF readers can mass-crop the pages. Of course, there are ugly exceptions - books that have a different text positioning on odd and even pages (I hate them).

I mean rsync via USB (but over ssh protocol - the USB mounts as a network device, rather than as a disk drive).

I have never connected the device to wifi, so I don't know about this.
Another factor that might cause economists to sound doom and gloom is that once you do hit a certain point it's much more difficult to get out of it using conventional policy tools. You run an increased risk for an actual prolonged depression and start doing greater amounts of long-term economic damage.

No.

Clearly you only need a small proportion of grid power in storage to cope with peaks.

There are also multiple ways to smooth load - overcapacity, battery storage, pumped storage, load shedding, pricing. These are solved problems which just need a bit more work and investment, and many countries already use pumped storage extensively.
This really, really pisses me off about society today. Never once has my identity been compromised by my actions, in the 4 times it happened, it was due to credit card companies and credit agencies. I have zero control over how they protect my data.

I don't even know what you have about me, where it's stored, how it's stored, how it's accessed, why it's accessed, and how to lock it.

Yes, much like the US has forgotten how to build subways, tunnels, bridges, and infrastructure cost effectively in general. I don't know how that happened, and I think it's a pretty sad outcome.

Maybe in a different regulatory and economic environment, nuclear could be competitive. I don't know. Even coal is becoming uncompetitive in the US compared with renewables, and it's a lot cheaper and lower risk than nuclear.
