I long for the day we get a breakthrough with some next level power source. Be it fusion or some other thing to come.

Humanity always depended on having a leap in either: transport, communication or energy. We are going through a massive change in communication, if we get a cheap and super scalable and sustainable source of energy we might find our next leap...

> The issue with nukes is that it's simply not possible to detonate one without causing collateral damage.

Sure, how about a howitzer then?

What you're failing to see or refusing to admit is that you too want to restrict access to weapons based on a certain threshold of collateral damage/body count each of them can inflict.

It's just that for some (perhaps most) of us, an AR-15 is way past our threshold.

As for the truck you mentioned that was used in France: if it's ever found that a certain truck model makes it particularly easy to run over people with, I bet my bottom dollar that soon after there will be legislation enacted restricting access to it.
Try that for windows, and you get my point. It has build dependencies.

Yes, we've built nuclear power plants. And we've discovered they are complex and expensive, and we've discovered they take forever to design, and that very often the construction process fails and the investment is lost.

Energy storage technologies have the property that they can rapidly iterate new designs, on a smaller scale than nuclear. They are inside nuclear's decision loop. The mammals are outbreeding the dinosaurs (yes, I know that metaphor is unfair to the actual animals).

There's a reason business people don't swallow the kind of BS you sling on nuclear, and it isn't because they're Greenpeace members.
That's a somewhat different case though. That gets into what degree of image manipulation for aesthetic purposes is acceptable for a given use. Because any photograph reflects decisions about composition, lens, film (at the time)/color temperature/B&W vs. color, and so forth. And what you might choose to do with a vacation picture (or, for that matter, a fine art poster) isn't necessarily acceptable for many publications .

You also have the photo illustration that Time did of OJ Simpson which was about photo manipulation to fit with a narrative tone. Of course, photo selection could have the same effect.
Good point. Here is an in-depth analysis from the NY Fed: https://libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2015/08/liquid...
It's a formatting sublanguage based on the one from C#.

In the formatting sublanguage, braces denote a value to be formatted: `format!("{foo}", foo=42)`

Instead of a name you can identify values positionally, counting from zero: `format!("{0}", 42)`

You can omit the identifier entirely and the arguments will likewise be interpreted as positional: `format!("{}", 42)`

To tell the formatter the manner in which you would like to format the value, you can give format specifiers. These are separated from the value's identifier by a colon. An example of a format specifier is `b`, which prints the value in binary: `format!("{foo:b}", foo=42)`

As before, you can leave out the name to refer to the value positionally: `format!("{:b}", 42)`

Other format specifiers are `?`, which tells the formatter to print the "debug" output (i.e. autogenerated output useful for debugging by programmers), `#` which tells the formatter to insert line breaks and indentation for easier reading, and `x` which tells the formatter to print numbers as hex.
Saw some interesting research on using infrasound to locate elephants. they managed to come up with something that was about $9 in parts including microphone. (Plus a SBC for analysis).

A bit of searching lead to some DIY stuff using subwoofers (speakers) as the microphone input then some low-pass filtering and then fed to an op-amp.

> I thought the post was about how the 32-bit space could be exhausted in minutes with common hardware in the year 2014. Which means that any problem I have which is in the 32-bit space is a candidate for brute force.

No, the post is about exhaustive testing, and that it's completely reasonable on 32 bit values because it only takes a few minutes.

> Given the advances in computers over the past few years: exhausting the 64-bit (or 2x 32-bit) space is "reasonable" for the year 2020.

That's not actually reasonable, it's feasible for very specific contexts.

> At least, reasonable for people who are willing to wait a month (on one GPU), or willing to buy a cluster of GPUs.

And whose code specifically can run on GPU. TFA is about CPU-optimised code, the entire point was to exhaustively test an SSE3 implementations. How do you do that on a GPU?
Yes, nuclear power is more expensive than natural gas. But natural gas still emits carbon dioxide. If our goal is to curtail climate change, then our goal is to decarbonize our economy. There are additional culprits too like methane and some refrigerants. But carbon dioxide accounts for the lion's share of climate change.

Yes, they're calculated differently. This covers it pretty well:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating#Measurement_meth...

TLDR, the US and Canada use "(R+M)/2" (also called Anti-Knock Index), and much of the rest of the world uses RON (Research Octane Number).

If you zoom in closely on the first image in my comment above, you can see that the sticker has both. It says "MIN.(R+M)/2 87 Regular" and "MIN.RON 91 Normale".

---

Tangentially, you will see lower-octane fuel in specific parts of the US. Denver, Colorado is nicknamed "the mile-high city" because its elevation is about 1 mile (1.6 km) above sea level. In many parts of the US, you will see octane ratings of around 87, 89, and 93 at the pump, but in Denver you might see 85, 87, and 91. The thinner air reduces the need for high octane.

I suppose something similar must happen in Europe, but it may not be as common or well-known. From what I can tell, non of Europe's large cities are at that high of an elevation.

> This is how Lewis D. Wheeler, a Boston-based white male actor

The fact that this framing is so normalized to just be thrown out in a mostly technical article with no other explanation is insidious and insane. There's video of the guy right above. It's very clear what his skin color and gender are. And it's totally off topic.

At a minimum if you are going to do this, it should be done for every single person mentioned consistently. Why don't we get Nixon's gender and race or Francesca Panetta and Halsey Burgund genders and races? And of course when you have the choice between doing this consistently for everyone or not for anyone it becomes clear that it would be way over the top if done consistently and in reality is inappropriate in all cases.

It gets into Noam Chomsky's manufacturing consent arguments in my mind. Everything is a meaningful editorial decision. This IS a political statement. By including this you are implying it would have been undescriptive and impproper not to include whereas the opposite is the case.

And yes, I know it's off topic but I think it is important to call out nonsense when you see it lest it be normalized. If you want your article to be discussed instead of prompting a culture war, then don't bait a culture war.
Absolutely, this is basically neo-reactionary kind of stuff but from a deep metaphysical perspective. Another author worth checking out is Curtis Yarvin who is much more focused on material/realpolitik concerns.

> in response to an enormous injustice

https://archive.is/o/tNht3/https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-... claims there's no racial bias. If you don't trust it, you can check the statistics [1,2] yourself: non-Hispanic whites are 2.4x more likely than blacks to be killed by police (2.7x more if counting only unarmed deaths), per comitted homicide. Using homicide as proxy for violent crime because it's unaffected by biased or excessive policing.

I won't deny there's often injustice to police killings, but if there's racial bias, it's (on average) not in the direction you think. Or do you think I should not have normalized to violent crime, but to population? If so, then do you also believe the police is massively biased against males aged 20-30, much much more than against blacks?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the situation but I think this rather highlights the awkward position the world allows itself to be in: to let the USA govern the entirety of the domain space. I believe this ought to be a global affair. Sure this might be headed by the USA as per usual, but the current situation is not one I think we should desire as a global populace.

I think what Iran did here is wrong, no doubt. But don't fool me that the USA does no such similar tactics as well, perhaps a tad bit more convoluted, through side companies for example But it's nothing weird to conceive the USA meddling in other countries their news feeds, right?

Ah man, memories, and not from 20 years ago, either. I bought a top-of-the-line 21" Trinitron in 1999 and after 4.99 years of the 5-year warranty something stopped working inside it so I shipped it back to Sony and they couldn't or didn't want to fix it and they didn't have any more to replace it so they shipped me a new 24" GDM-FW900 for free, which gave me years of trouble-free service. Eventually I had to get rid of it because video cards with respectable analog outputs became scarce. Younger computer users never had to deal with this but in the late stages of CRT technology the quality of the analog end of the video card (the RAMDAC) was a major differentiation between brands. Having a quality RAMDAC and a quality cable of minimal length made a visible difference in the resulting picture.

The "using Julia from other languages" story doesn't look that great though: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/embedding/

Mostly the bits about how you have to workaround the Julia GC.

So it doesn't seem like a great option for libraries that might have lots of different bindings, where C/C++/Fortran (and maybe Rust?) seem to be the only reasonable choices.
Also, a 20-year-old CRT monitor (21") consumes almost four times the electricity of an LCD, and can cost about 5x more to run-even with energy saving mode.

/u/anw's example shows that, in fact, the benefits of the type system are greater than that. Not only can the type system prevent you from accessing data before confirming that the data is present (which is, at the end of the day, not much better than an Optional type, already available in Java and others), but it can also prompt you to "handle" all possible cases.

Dr. Jim Pugh on UBI for a Stronger Economy
Visiting the US from Europe in 1986 for the first time, it felt like a vibrant place, well ahead. New York was amazing.

In 2006 I was shocked when visiting family on the east coast to hear that acquaintances there expected me to obviously want to immigrate, get a green card, etc.
At the time the US from my POV was already an extremely iffy broken place.

In 2016, and that is, before the elections, nobody was assuming this anymore.

Now I get asked how best to move away.
I previously lived in city where it was -10/-15C during winter and it was fine to cycle because it was dry and bright (inc. strong lighting).

Now I live in the UK and you have to be a true believer to cycle during winter when it's not as cold but it's damp, raining, and dark (with poor public lighting). I walk, which is already a commitment.

One further problem in the UK, in my opinion, is that roads have always been built, and, worse, continue to be built, the absolute narrowest possible. Very often it is already tight for cars, so cycle lanes are out of the question and cycling is very dangerous. Ideally, all new roads (at least urban and in residential areas) should be wide enough in order to include a good size bike lane segregated from cars... Once again, though, there is no long term plan, at best they're just winging it with a quite paint job on the road.

I work in capital markets. I both design and build systems that automatically quote prices to the market and automatically make trading decisions. The financial consequences of getting either of these things wrong can be quite high, but many of my colleagues (i.e. traders) don't seem to understand the scope of things that could possibly go wrong when you're building software. I have noticed that experienced traders are usually very comfortable with taking some amount of risk (it's their job), but I have also noticed that with some people, that comfort with risk taking can spill over in to other areas where they simply don't have enough background or knowledge to properly assess the risks. So while I think comfort with risk taking is good, it's important to also question your own depth of understanding of the domain you're assessing risk in before dismissing other's concerns.

The biggest problem with Julia is its marketing[1]:

- Julia lures newcomers by the way of attractive marketing (At one point in my career, I was such a huge fan of Julia that I dismissed many people and their concerns. It was like I was following a cult). This is pre v0.4 days.

- Too much focus on optimization. As a seasoned engineer, speed has been less and less of a concern where primary packages that need to be fast in Python are already quite fast. Majority of the tasks most engineers (not academicians) do is plumbing and connecting various pieces together. Julia just isn't good at this and perhaps it will get better.

- Julia markets itself boldly as a general purpose language but doesn't have a good systems library, no real competitive webframework and many things that are necessary for a true general purpose language - for e.g. GUI. At best, it is a scientific computing language such as MATLAB but free (that is a huge thing for Academicians but not for engineers working in Top 500 companies). At worse, it is lacking features and documentation that MATLAB has.

- Julia isn't humble in its approach towards marketing. It over-extends and over-reaches. This leads to people like myself lured into it and then completely burned by the experience. For e.g., it flaunts about being able to see the inline assembly instructions - in my entire 15 year career as a software engineer, I've never had the need to do this. It is almost a meaningless feature for vast majority of the users, but marketing wise it is pretty attractive.

- Julia recruits inexperienced software engineers and non-software "script junkies". It has lost its vision and original premise since 0.4v I feel like. Syntax has gotten worse. Bad decisions have been made. I think the founders of Julia are very very smart folks, it's just the community that is full of people who haven't built anything remotely large and of medium complexity. Are there exceptions? Yes, Julia has been adopted in a few large scale projects but I dispute whether that was a good decision.

Note: My experience is based on engineering mindset, not academics and research. Julia would probably be pretty good on a professor's macintosh and can gain wide adoption in those areas.
