There is so much room for cynicism here, but this one really takes the cake:

“GM’s decision reinforces how shortsighted the Trump administration’s efforts to erode American ingenuity and America’s defenses against the climate threat truly are,” the statement said

I'll give GM credit because they've been taking electric cars more seriously than the other major automakers. But they continue to rely heavily on gas cars, cheered on those "efforts to erode American ingenuity" that hampered the competitor ahead of them.
The department / police union could argue that if it’s not sanctioned behavior it is not part of the officers duties.
As you rightly point out, whether something is considered to cost too much power properly depends on what you compare it with.

Before there was a viable alternative to POW for achieving the goals of a decentralised currency, it was at least debateable about whether the benefits of the decentralised currency were worth the cost of POW compared to the alternatives, but now that it appears POS is a viable alternative, there can be no question - POW costs too much power.
I get the knee-jerk reaction to look for scripts that fake activity and call this spying, but despite the name on the page, these kinds of metrics seem more focused on adoption of "productivity tools" (industry jargon for the suite) than measuring actual productivity.

IT leaders are always looking to show that technology tools that they pay for are being used and MSFT has an interest in providing visibility to encourage proactive communication and training to deepen penetration.

Maybe there are other screens that show more detail and it would be fair to disregard my comment in that case, but just based on what is in the twitter thread, metrics that count the number of days that a tool is used at least once are about as innocuous as they get.
Agreed, I almost mentioned documentation but I forgot... My use-cases are ridiculously simple, and it's definitely gotten way better in the last year, but just figuring out the syntax for putting my e-mail address in the config file and how to start the server without it asking me questions on stdin required some trial and error. Nothing major, but there just wasn't much on Google at the time.

Docs have gotten way better since. As has the install story. Before it was some scripted thing that I was never quite confident in, now it's a deb package that I feel confident in running updates and Ansible against. And honestly I have not had any problems since installing it.

My reaction remains at a "hell no". But I am 300% against cloud based security services.
These are great questions :-) If I remember correctly from the paper, the authors used quite small grids, but they were actually 3D, like your question. They gave each "slice"
(one full dimension of the tensorx1x1) to a different core. Cores had to get border data from 8 surrounding memories, which would be a crazy ratio on most architectures, but works because memory accesses are 1 instruction cycle on the CS-1, or 1 cycle per hop if the local memory isn't right by that core. I think that the interconnects on the CS-1 were also toruses (wrapped around at the edges of the grid), which gives you some flexibility.

In general, the decomposition of tiles (or blocks in 3d) to cores can follow lots of different strategies depending on what is best for the architecture and whether distributed cores have an all-to-all interconnect, or some sort of torus, or whether the block size can be made to suit some aspect of the processor (e.g. vector length), and the they is to balance the load equally over different cores. Depending on the problem, it might require more advanced graph partitioning algorithms than simple spatial decomposition.

Not to mention GPUs! Can you believe how many GPUs have been cooked by this scheme? I got a water-cooled GTX 1080 almost 5 years ago on Craigslist for $500. Usually old things like that get cheaper as time goes by, but not GPUs. Nowadays those things are going for like $800. I was hoping to upgrade to an RTX2080 or something (also a few years old now) but they're like $1000!

I can't help but think that cryptocurrency mining is mostly responsible. And supposedly long term mining just fries GPUs, so the used market is dubious anyway.
> I took "This free money" to mean the money flowing into finance

Yeah, that's a different argument. Its arguing that low-cost finance is crowding out savings. However, in this case if you look at the savings rate, its still a little too high relative to historical averages. Of course, 2020 is nuking all of the statistics. But prior to the COVID shock, both gross and personal savings were high and climbing despite constantly juicing the markets with cheap finance.

First of all, it takes 90 minutes to take the train--and probably another 30 minutes if I need to take the subway in the city to connect with the train. It takes an hour to drive outside of rush hour.

The train runs about every 90 minutes outside of rush hour. So it's a non-starter for a night event.

So, sure, I'd use a much faster and far more frequent train if it existed. But that's a wildly different situation from what exists today. And this is a US location (Boston/Cambridge) that has relatively good transit--and I live fairly close to an exurban train station.
This is yet another fail by M$. So, why do people praise Microsoft so much? Satya Nadella turned it around, really? MS365 surveils you. Windows is full of telemetry, Cortana/Bing ads and the UX is objectively bad as they have design from the 2000s mixed in with design from today. VSCode is a slow Electron app. I have a Surface - it is a flop and can't compare to Apple. The new Xbox has worse performance than PS5. LinkedIn is cancerous and nobody I know enjoys using it. The list goes on and on. I am at a loss to find a reason to use Microsoft products willingly, except GitHub which is still somewhat okay (yet).

This is precisely reversed. Even the IEA has finally agreed that solar photovoltaic is the cheapest energy in history:

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a34372005/solar-che...

And this is from an agency that is notoriously pessimistic and wrong about solar, vastly overestimating costs of solar and underestimating future deployments. So when the IEA has declared solar cheap, one can be sure that there is zero data to support otherwise.

Similarly, the IEA has been unreasonably bullish about the cost of nuclear, but still places it as one of the most expensive sources of energy.

The data is not on your side, and I have to wonder why you came to believe the things that you are saying.
It depends of your target customers of course. I meant create valuable for them, be transparent.

The upsetting part is the greed of it all and lack of any meaningful competition to switch to. If Elon’s Starlink works well it may be the nudge AT&T and Comcast need. Would also love to see a line of sight ISP and more towns start ISPs like there are in some states and other countries since laying the wires is too big of a startup cost for any new players that don’t have billions of dollars.
The new article that debunks all the Firestore advantages
I've read a wonderful paper on what information people use when driving, it is pretty similar to this driving simulation. The basic cue is "where you will be in T milliseconds", extrapolated using the current vehicle velocity, and trying to keep that point on the road by steering and throttling. Here is that paper, A unifying theory of driver perception and steering control (2019) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337024514_A_Unifyin...
good point, some mods are draconian in what they'll allow or won't allow. For example, even using the word 'Wordpress' on a reply in r/web_design will get your comment deleted and replaced with an automod comment that that sub isn't about CMSs.

I think it's to guard against people shilling themes and plugins, but it's ridiculous considering that CMSs comes up naturally on discussions about building websites.

Lose Weight and Gain Muscle
A few people have pointed out that explosives can explode regardless of the message; I'd like to question, if it needs a specific message to fire them, how fragile is the system that delivers the message?

Yes, in an accident the airbag generally fires so quickly that it happens before physical damage occurs to the device firing it, but needing a specific message (over CAN bus perhaps?) makes the system much more fragile. What if there's a fender bender the week or month before, and causes light damage to the system? One bit is more robust by an order of magnitude than two, and so on.
I too thought that we need the oceans and trees etc to breath... And then this article blew my mind wide open. [0]

I am definitely not advocating for the destruction of our ecosystems or cheering on their decline, just thought this was a great article.

tl;dr we do not rely on photosynthesis or any active living thing to produce the oxygen that we breath. It in fact mostly comes from decay/death.

They can handle a little bit but they can also be very uncomfortable in Oslo. The sidewalks are not completely level with drains for roof water/ice melting to run through, some sidewalks are not very scooter friendly and some streets are cobblestones and rattle quite hard any scooter or bike.

Apart from that you have loads of tram tracks going through the inner city, dangerous for bikes and there are very few bike lanes, most of the time bikes are sharing streets with cars, busses and trams at the same time.
Sure it is illegal in Germany or at least the Workers' council needs to approve it :)

But in other countries the laws are different.

It is UB for signed integers. There is a lot of stuff from c inside c++ :-).
Yes it's fully impossible to generalized produce any form of productivity score.

Like sometimes someone taking a full day to write a single short paragraph can be the most productive and valuable thing which happens in the recent month. Even if hounded of pages where written, mails read and responded etc.

Such score can only really measure quantity but not quality but in many cases you need quality much more than quantity to be successful.
We see the same thing (transfer to private management, the upward transfer of wealth) in education, public housing, and the list goes on... There are currently more US-paid private mercenaries than US troops occupying Iraq and Afghanistan.

I disagree with the author that there is a legal-constitutional way out... The entire debate between the market and state, private and public, is still an inter-capitalistic one and the whole system needs to be overthrown. There will never be truly public services until the people control their own government.
Startups Use Freemium Models to Acquire Paying Customers
Thanks! Yes, I work as an HPC researcher, but not for Cerebras.
I just watched the presentation of this paper at the SC20 Supercomputing conference last week.

I probably should have said, according to the specs, a CS-1 does have loads (TBs?) of off-chip DRAM to spill over into if the 18GiB isn't enough. That 18GiB is on-chip SRAM which you could think of as a giant 18GiB cache, which is astounding.

Once you spill over that though, you're limited to how fast you can get data to the chip (probably multiple PCIe connections to a host CPU on the system with loads of RAM - I think the details are in the paper), so the results won't be nearly as impressive as this 10000x claim.

Andy Capp? That was the worst, which was probably why my paper put it in the classifieds.
The cap is high to begin with, but later they will begin to lower it and increase the cost. At this point, based on examples of other cable companies and wireless providers, it is almost a given.

Unless of course you believe that Comcast is a benevolent company that tries to help its customers instead of trying to gouge them at every opportunity (former customer, lots of hard feelings) :/

M1 Macs Able to Run Up to Six External Displays Using DisplayLink Adapters
That is exactly the point but also somewhat auxiliary; when people say things like "science can't answer these questions" the issue is either that the question is already politically loaded or requires a tradeoff between two opposing goals, where this balance is policy not science. Science can't solve all our problems but at the same time, it doesn't mean we should discount science when trying to solve them.

When I ask people to listen to science, that doesn't mean "have science solve the problem entirely" but "all viable solution maxima are scientifically solvable, the tradeoff is ethical". If someone suggests a solution that is not scientifically solvable, then it ought to be disregarded or considered for what is it is; pure politics, something you have to think about morally and ethically.
There is no one thing that will "fix everything".

This will be solved by many small things adding up.
Amazing man, this is what I wanted Markdown files to be used for!
The thing about scientists and us other "smart people" is that we're just as emotional as anybody, but because we try so hard not to be it comes out in hard-to-understand ways, and leads to us being extra pushy when we think we're right. The fact that we can't see this about ourselves, predominantly, makes a lot of people pretty skeptical about us.

If we actually are generally smart, and have no pride, I imagine we'd eventually get pretty good at understanding people for who they are, what they want, and how to persuade them.

Just for example, talking to friends or family it becomes pretty clear that they don't have an accurate mental picture of the size of the scientific community, or the level of rigor and scrutiny their work goes through (often because what they read in the news sounds spurious - coffee causes/prevents cancer). I understand this natural skepticism, because other authorities (e.g. politicians, church) are often incredibly confident and wrong. The reason the scientific community has an merit isn't their number, isn't the titles, isn't their lab coats (religion has number, titles, and costumes). It's their method, but many people have never even been notified of that difference.

When I hear "W.H.O." this or that, it's meaningless to me. All I know is that's an acronym. Do I know if the people who work there are scientists or politicians? Do I know if they are well vetted? Do I know if they have any financial interests? It's a pure appeal to authority.

Best US City for a software engineer during Covid?
I cannot justify paying $3000 in the Bay Area while everything is closed and I cannot experience the energy and networking opportunities this region offers.
My partner and I are considering moving to a low COL city with good tech jobs, a balanced economy and something that is closest to how the Bay Area and America was in the late 90s and early 2000s when everything wasn’t driven by a hyper focus on money. Something tech,plaid, hippy and Alanis Morissette.

Does a place like that still exist in America?
Correct, it's not currently widely accepted. In many ways, science is more 'conservative' than so-called 'conservative' political parties, which is probably a good thing.

However, there's a lot of emerging that supports the concept that there will be a large amount of methane release from the arctic over the next few decades. Very large.

If this happens, and I truly hope it does not, then the impact will be enormous and devastating.

While such a release isn't sure, the combination of possibility and impact is more than enough for us to deeply consider it during policy considerations.

It's not that high to begin with, 1.2 Tb of data per month is fairly low in my opinion - especially if you have a family.
I think research still needs to be poured into carbon sequestration, but I agree with your overall analysis.

Carbon sequestration is like ocean desalination. Sure, it can be done, but it's a lot easier and a lot more efficient to start with a non-salty body of water.

Stopping carbon emissions is a lot more important in the short term.

Long term, I can see carbon capture being used as an alternative to push for a carbon neutral or negative economy. We'll likely need captured carbon for shipping, airplane travel, and plastics.

A positive of carbon capture is that you can pretty much set it up anywhere. You may be able to setup a capture facility at major fuel hubs to cut down on transport costs.
When seatbelts were introduced, there was indeed a number of people opposed to it and just like with COVID19, claiming it infringed on their rights and refusing to wear seatbelts out of spite.

The reason it's not controversial nowadays is because it's (almost) universally accepted as a good idea (though people do buy fake seatbelt plugs to disable the alarms)
Maybe you're a little bit more of a sceptic than I am. Strategies like price anchoring, premium pricing and other kinds of artificial product segmentation are ways to derive maximum value from a wider range of customers. I don't consider them a way to rip off people.

If you've got a monopoly, sure this can lead to price gauging. But in a competitive market it just means you are rewarded for your edge.

Anyway, I've only felt like I was ripped off on price a couple times. And every time it was buying something in a higher end brick & mortar store where I bought a quality item at significant mark up. Brick and mortar stores simply are something that's a luxury that is hard to justify if you're on a shoestring budget.
