Sure, starting really generally: "regenerative agriculture" and "permaculture" are good keywords.

I think looking for any solution to scale the way industrial agriculture does is approaching the problem from the wrong direction. The scaling of industrial agriculture is the problem. I don't think any one alternative is "the" solution, but rather that many alternative methods need to be applied where appropriate and at smaller scales. Smaller farms but lots more of them. Food needs to be grown in places that we currently don't think of as farmland: mass lawn conversion, urban farming, etc.

Okay, onto some references of techniques that I can think of off the top of my head:

Silvopasture is a way of combining tree crops with livestock grazing that sequesters carbon from the atomosphere. https://www.fs.usda.gov/nac/practices/silvopasture.php

Riparian buffers separate rivers from farmland. They filter runoff from the fields, guard against floods because healthy soil and vegetation act like a sponge, and, if many land owners participate, they create uninterrupted habitat for wildlife. This sacrifices some field area, but it means that a "100 year flood" that now happen more frequently due to climate change won't destroy a family's source of income by washing away all the soil away. https://www.extension.iastate.edu/smallfarms/what-riparian-b...

"No till" or "no dig" cultivation. Tilling breaks networks of fungi and bacteria, causing a short-term burst of available nutrients for plants, but done year after year reduces soil health (in other words: diminishing returns.) Sowing or transplanting with minimal soil disturbance and top-dressing with compost builds soil life over time and is less labor intensive. https://charlesdowding.co.uk/faqs/

Swales reduce pressure on irrigation systems on sloped land by storing water in the soil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swale_(landform)

Cover cropping means that the field isn't left bare. There's always something growing on it to keep the soil from eroding or blowing away in the wind. Cover crops act as a living mulch, and then as a regular mulch when they are slashed down when it comes time to plant the cash crop. Legumes are often used as cover crops because they are a natural fertilizer due to a symbiotic relationship they form with a special kind of bacteria that takes nitrogen from the air and deposits it in the soil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_crop

Oh, I fully agree, and some people have done just this with packages like Spacemacs, Doom, Prelude, and probably some others.

I've never tried any of them myself, because I already have Emacs configured to my liking, but reasonable defaults is what these packages aim at.
But that's not the go modules documentation. That's just some wiki put together with duct tape and good intentions.

The real documentation is here: https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Modules__module_versions__and...

We use spec A LOT to validate a huge config file/DSL thing for our internal ETL application.

My general feelings are:

- spec is great, you should use it, the composeability and flexibility are awesome features.

- I've never once used conformers - maybe I just don't "get it" (which if so, speaks badly of them I think since I've been heavily using spec for years), but the use cases for them seem strange to me and I feel they cause more confusion than they're worth. I wish they were separated out into more separate/optional functionality.

- It's SO MUCH more powerful than things like JSON schema, but that comes at the cost of portability - there's no way we could send our spec over the wire and have someone else in a different environment use it. But also, there's no way we could implement some of our features in a tool like JSON Schema [and have it be portable] ("Is the graph represented by this data-structure free of cycles?" "When parsed by the spark SQL query parser, is this string a syntactically valid SQL query?").

- Being able to spec the whole data input up front has saved hundreds of lines of error-checking code and allows us to give much better errors up-front to our users and devs

- Spec has a lot of really cool features for generative testing, but we rarely use them since we've implemented lots of complex specs where it's not really practical to implement a generator (i.e. "strings which are valid sql queries" or "maps of maps of maps which when loaded in a particular way meet all the other requirements and are also valid DAGs"). I feel torn about this because the test features are great, but the extreme extensibility of spec is what I love most about it. I haven't often found a scenario where I actually have a use for the generative features (either the data is so simple I don't need them, or so complex that they don't work).
Dude, `M-x custom-set-variable RET confirm-kill-emacs RET TAB`
I find spec really interesting but struggle to find a good fit for it in my projects. I end up getting bogged down writing generators and give up, or end up breaking down functions into such small pieces that speccing every one of them results in an unreasonable proliferation of specs and generators. This was an interesting and helpful overview of some different ideas about how to take advantage of spec, so thank you!

Also I definitely share your feelings about clojure massively increasing my job satisfaction and teaching me how to think about programming in a new (and better tbh) way.
Our front service it's a nextjs/nodejs project. But I still prefer python :) and our API's are python based, typed async python.. but python..
Yup. Fireflies come to mind - I grew up in suburban Virginia and they were all over. I don't see them any more, and I live 20 miles from where I grew up.

I also remember more snow as a child. I found a source once that had yearly snowfall in DC and it's gone down a fair bit in the last 30 years.

"They don't want their family to starve."

We know how to stop that. We don't have to sentence people to subsistence agriculture. When you know better, you do better, and we know better.

We can farm in ways that build high carbon soils. We can do this even in the 3rd world. Teach people the proper techniques.

It's nonsense to claim that we just have to accept this kind of collapse.
I agree. They don't need to beat the 3080, they just need to match or beat the 3070 at a competitive price. I would say the majority of the market does not have $700 to blow on a GPU. Having compelling options under $500 would be enough of a win.
"Fascism," "democracy," what's the difference? There's always an elite class pulling the strings. The world has always been a mess. The only thing that is dying is our illusions.

Edit: for those that downvote me, go tell the millions living in violent poverty how magical democracy is. There will always be a show. What matters is who's putting on the show.
The higher one climbs on a mountain, the further one can see.

I think we're capable of seeing how much better we can make things today primarily because of how high we've climbed so far.
Isn't emacs the first to do it? I have the vague memory of it self-advertising as self-documenting.
I actually think it's got much more to do with the training data.

Given that you are watching a video, you need to either swipe away from it, or finish watching it. This provides either a 1 or 0 for the video classification model.

The important contrast here is with FB/IG feed where you can scroll aimlessly without engaging, leaving you with perhaps 1 engagement out of 10 (or whatever).

The attached doc suggests that they are only using unsupervised learning, which I find very hard to believe, to be honest.
Apple's MBP drivers have been broken since 2016 and getting worse, high-frequency locked and thereby thermally throttling the CPU at idle. I don't know if that means Apple Silicon will be better or if they are just incompetent at it.
I don’t think AMD need to kick Nvidia’s ass to be successful or even competetive.

If they can land a decent GPU that’s between the 3080 and 3090 for an affordable price people will buy it.

They don’t need to beat the 3090 to win, I think that ship has sailed, let Nvidia have the high end market, there’s still plenty of space in the midrange, low end to succeed.
A similarly specced ThinkPad or Latitude is built to last, has user-replaceable components and will not fall apart in 2 years after a warranty expires.

They always get a response to every video that you start watching, making their training data much, much better than that of Facebook or Instagram.

> but will not pursue the high-end market mostly because of their limited TSMC slots

Your second assertion that they can make more money from a CPU wafer than a GPU is probably correct, but assuming they don't abandon the GPU market entirely, they will still be using fab capacity to produce GPUs.

If they're using limited slots for GPUs anyway, doesn't it make sense to focus on the high-end high-margin parts first?

I'm politically very in favour of personal liberty. Climate change being a real and causing problems is a fact at this point (we are mainly working out how big the problems will be). I wish that some liberterian politicians would start to accept that so we can get some freedom respecting solutions!
The Most Accurate Biological Age Test
Yep, as expected, they begin to care once it hits their bottom line.
I actually like the abbreviations because, while exceedingly optimistic if you sound out what each letter means, every vendor maps them to the same number of pixels. For example "QHD" or "Quad HD" means 2560x1440. "That's not 4 times HD, what a dumb name," I hear you scream. But in this system, HD is 1280x720, not 1920x1080 as everyone in the real world understands it. But it's fine, because anyone selling their monitor as QHD will be giving you a 1440p display. They get to mislead you as to the specifications... in a standard way that everyone agrees is the maximum amount of misleading they can get away with, so you actually know what you're getting! (If they did 4x "real" HD, then they'd call it "UHD" or "Ultra High Definition".) It's all genius and I love it.
"This stock exchange is intended for long term"

I am a business that wishes to focus on the short term; why would I list there?

I am a customer that wishes to focus on the short term; why would I buy there?

It's not a requirement. It likely doesn't need to be a requirement. The point is, investors and companies both have options; why would they pick the one that is misaligned with them, even if it's just in intention? Starting out there's no reason to (no critical mass to make it worth investing in), and if it picks up traction there'd be no reason to either, because now the incumbent companies, and their stockholders, are already aligned to long term thinking due to their being the only ones inclined to invest initially.

Have you been in a coma since 1984?
> You'd send out an e-mail update to others who need to know. Or you'd scheduled a follow-up call or meeting to discuss it.

Just my anecdata; this is the polar opposite of what I want. I do not ever, ever want a meeting or a follow up call over an async slack message unless it must be a meeting.

Some managers really need to talk to their engineers and see what the engineers need to perform best and not make every assumption based on what they, the manager, are used to from the last 10 years of their career at 1-2 places.

Forcing a square into a round hole makes engs leave and I've worked for a lot of managers who feel like they stopped growing a decade ago or are using outdated ideologies because the people who promoted them are so far away from the real people creating the sauce now.
That's nice but an error thats designed to fuck me as a customer is a good reason not to buy from that company, and the general state of nvidia drivers on linux makes me not want to chose them for a new build. Nonetheless, i'm glad to hear you got it working, it sure is a fun thing to do.
> I'm kinda surprised how many people set their screens to 100 % brightness

Not everyone knows that this impacts your eyes. Someone called me and asked if I know anything about glasses that would restrict blue light and make his eyes feel better. After telling a thing about f.lux, we ended ended up finding out that brightness was at 100%. He lowered to 50% and said: thank you, much better.
I don’t understand what you’re talking about — my terminal accesses as much from my keyboard as I’ve ever wanted it to, and everything I can imagine it wanting to short of flashing my (Num|Caps|Scroll) lock lights or something (and other terminals support more features than I even use, eg. image previews in ranger et. al.) Could you give an even more specific and concrete example?
> where the shift away from X11 means no more remote applications

Plus the death of all non-mainstream window managers, it seems.

Realistically, I'm not moving away from X11 if it will create a UI regression for me. This means that unless I can get Window Maker and application forwarding, I'm not moving to Wayland, and I doubt I'm alone in this general feeling, even though other people use different window managers.
Without addressing the specifics of IronNet, the fact that one entity adopting this strategy experienced sub par results is pretty meaningless - mostly since hiring former senior military and government figures is basically standard practice in any organization that handles (or aspires to handle) federal or military contracts. Swap out 'federal or military' for basically any other organization or entity and the practice still holds true.
Honest question: If you're not interested in gaming, why even get a discrete GPU and not an integrated one? Are you interested in using it for other purposes?

I'm also in a position to offer much higher speeds when I need to upgrade. Projections put that out after month 60 when I need more bandwidth.
I feel ya, my friend.

I also have read the org manual a few times, and it feels so big you can't hold a mental model for long enough to make sense while incorporating all its features. As you know, org mode has too many features to use them all at once (like emacs itself).

What (kinda) worked for me was, after knowing "I've read it all", to purposefully "downgrade" to a very very basic workflow. I thought then I would start adding features on a need basis, because I had the perimeter of what it can do.

But it turns out I haven't added anything else to the trivial workflow. There's a bit more info here ( https://puntoblogspot.blogspot.com/2018/12/3-basic-org-agend...), but essentially the trick was to use just one capture template for everything that just schedules the current task for today (so it appears in agendas until I mark it as done), and one single file, without different subtrees.

("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/org/tasks.org" "Tasks")
"* %^{title} \n SCHEDULED:%t\n %?\n %i\n %a\nAdded: %U")

I feel safe because in that file, down means "later", so I still can rely on my basic common sense.
Uh, yeah you are right i meant SR-IOV
Yes, I live in an area of Canada where they are trying to put up wind turbines in major bird migration routes. Wind/solar/hydro cheerleading is really hard to fight despite the massive ecosystem damage that each generation source does.
I always used to set my monitor to 100% brightness, when I used glasses. I had an eye operation 2 years ago and from the first day I could tell that it was too bright. Normal prescription glasses have light filters that makes you not notice this type of things.
Yes sorry, I had a simple splash landing page up but people were asking for more info, so I put this up while I continue building the infra/platform.

I tried researching this and found several websites making this claim, the most reputable of which is a Smithsonian article (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/resurrecting-pompeii-...). None of these articles cite any sources, so I tried a Google Books search and was able to find an excerpt from Pompeii: The Living City which mentions “the wells and springs that had run dry despite a normal fall of rain in the preceding months” in the days preceding the eruption. Both of the authors are academic historians, so it seems like this claim may be accepted history.

Your recollection is a little bit faulty on Facebook.

They had teams of editors for Trending. Then, in 2016, conservatives complained that there was a liberal bias (which I don't really think there was, except obvious lies were filtered out). The editors were then removed, with the result that Pope Francis endorsed Trump a few days before the 2016 election.

Funny how things work out, I guess.
Making redo rebuild when directory contents change
I can deal with that metaphor, if "a race car in first gear" is still faster than a lot of other cars.

Plus, it's the same race car. I've programmed half-a-dozen languages quite seriously in emacs, and I'm not changing editors the whole time. So, while I may not know elisp, I do know a fair amount about emacs and don't have to relearn how to do a lot of things in a new IDE every three years... or, worse yet, discover that entire features are missing because "nobody" has ever used an editor that had them. (I'm not sure I could live without macros of some sort in an editor.)
can confirm the shape of this assertion. Having a 10G even if rate-limited to something just over 1G gives the burst. When my son got a new laptop pre-school starting we could see those updates and game downloads on the graph, the other homes were just noise.
At the beginning of the pandemic, there was less information on the nature and pathology of the disease, as well as how well governments and people would be able to adapt new behaviors to contain it.

With updated information, we can narrow the expectations between the most optimistic and pessimistic models, but recorded deaths will always be a lagging indicator. As of right now, the fivethirtyeight summary (https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/covid-forecasts) has a spread in the US between 231,000 Americans dead by Oct. 17 (IHME) and 205,000 dead by Oct 17 (Los Alamos). What has changed since the disease started is the death curve has gone from exponential to linear (thank goodness), which is likely due to public health controls having an effect (we can guess this because the curve linearized around mid-April, which is about a month after California began treating the disease as an emergency and 2 weeks after New York followed suit). As it stands, it'd take over a decade to reach a million US deaths, assuming nothing changes (i.e. assuming people continue to avoid unnecessary contact and travel and protect their respiration); had the curve stayed exponential, it would have taken under a year.
What makes it simply virtue signalling? And what kind of teeth do you want? It isn't the strongest but allowing individuals to sue[0] is a lot stronger than just saying "please don't do this." It isn't necessarily about defeating the evil forces of facial recognition but it is about trying to get a handle of the situation before it gets way out of control.

the rights I have lost is that the economy got ruined and my generation has to pay for this bullshit and for the rest of europe because our politicians just love to give away money to strangers. Also the corona rules are used to selectively disallow unwanted protests. There is no scientific proof that the lockdown or the mask did anything. look at sweden:practically no new deaths and almost no new cases. But I guess most people are fine with it. So I better get in line ... or else :-) My parents both had corona and they are fine by the way. Just a mild flu. Actually more like a cold.
Git Commands That Every Developer Must Know
In the mailinabox case - I suspect this refers to the jump from v0.3x to v0.4x? Which was the point that they moved to Ubuntu 18.04, I think somewhere around the beginning of 2019?

Admittedly I'm somewhat slack about maintenance on my own mailinabox system, so it took me ~12 months to get around to going through the upgrade process, which was pretty painless.

It was just a case of backup/re-image/setup/restore on the same machine, took maybe an hour?

(But yes, it would have been nicer to have a better rollback point than that).

Do you really have to ask or do you not believe words have associations that aren't their exact dictionary definitions?

Dune was written well before the word was associated with religious extremism in modern times, the word didn't have the associations of terrorism and caliphates and 9/11.

You could write a similar paragraph about any time in history. China, for one, is far less genocidal than they were a few decades ago, as hard as it is to believe. Overall it's far less likely for people to die in wars than at any time in human history.
