I agree, but as a data scientist myself I've always known that part of my job is to choose the right tool out of the box. If that tool is a linear fit, or heck even adding a few columns in a spreadsheet, it's my job to realise that and choose appropriately. If it's a complex custom-built NN, then as long as the cost-benefit analysis justifies the build time, I'll choose that.

Of course, as you mention, there's always the business-political aspects - of explaining or justifying your choice to people who don't understand any of those tools, and who often want to pretend that they're part of a "smart data-driven AI" company.

They don't make big money with his work. They make big money with their own work, and he delivered a very tiny gear in that. It's not like he made some genious unreplaceable part which is worth billions on it's own. It just happend to be there and fullfil a demand they had. They can acknowledge it and give him something extra, or just follow the lizense and mention what's neccessary. It's up to them and how much value his work has for them.
How much of that $169B was just reallocated and not actually lost though?

The restaurant and travel industries obviously took a huge hit, but Amazon and Apple and all sorts of other businesses had huge gains. Overall the S&P will likely end the year up 10% or more which is a well above average year.

I have given up on understanding the mess that is USB-C.

It lists “USB type C: PD and QC 3.0 12V-20V 3A”.

Would this work via a USB Type A port, with an A-to-C adapter/cable?
Reducing personal emissions is a red herring. The vast majority of emissions are not coming from individuals, but from industry. And contrary to popular beliefs, there is no way to dismantle an industry by changing your personal behavior - we need massive political and economic overhauls to have any measurable impact.

And telling people that a sustainable world requires them to be vegetarian or vegan is wrong and counter-productive. We do need to significantly reduce consumption of animal products, but there is no need to eliminate them from our diets completely.
Also, people get confused with the efficiency of diesels, comparing MPG between petrol and diesel, when they're liquids with different densitites and carbon contents.
> I think it may be legal, since saying it qualifies as a disclaimer. Basically the default is 24m (EU) or 12m (US), but it should be legal to explicitly state another term for warranty.

No. While in the US people seem to be able to get away with anything as long as there is a disclaimer, EU law is strict - it's minimum 24 months per Art. 17 EU directive 1999/44/EC (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...), with an exception for second-hand goods (Art. 16 of said directive, with the decision on the exact duration being left to the member states).

Too early today for me to write posts ;)

"Year" first would be more the point where it gets confusing, as when you really start reading the details from a calendar, the year would be first, too. (When you're actually talking, of course, the year is rarely mentioned.)

I'm just saying that going from how you say something in your native language to internal data representation is quite error-prone.
No. Type A ports are only capable of 5V delivery, and this requires 12V. USB-C is a mess.

Yes, sometime within the next decade, many environmentalists are going to start seeing solar as the enemy rather than as their friend. It'll provide cheap energy and it uses lots of land.

Cheap clean energy by itself isn't a problem, but many of the behaviors it enables certainly are. We should be attacking the problematic behaviors rather than blaming it on cheap energy. The alternatives to cheap clean energy are much worse for the environment.
All apps on Xbox run in as VMs in a modified HyperV environment so that should be pretty straightforward.

The Xiaomi stuff is great, I have a lot of Aqara devices around the house.

A nice alternative to the temperature + humidity sensor is this Xiaomi Mijia one which uses BLE instead of Zigbee and has a little screen which shows the temperature as well:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001355746608.html

It's also much cheaper at $3-$4 each instead of ~$11 each. I've been scattering them around and they're great, the display is also nice.

They can easily be added to Home Assistant with a Raspberry Pi or ESP32 ($3-4) using ESPHome: https://esphome.io/components/sensor/xiaomi_ble.html
Yeah. To my untrained eye it looks like FIPS-140 was designed for devices handling unencrypted data (anything with computation) where physical security matters and this USB stick is just a by-product of a blanket requirement that it's used.
I dunno, but my local postal service and/or their customs clearance procedures have a tendency to add a week or more of latency to delivery so I'm hoping that paying the extra $19 lets me avoid that...
The question is, what is that magical tipping point price? Unlike your solar vs grid example, isn't the alternative to capturing just doing nothing, which has essentially zero cost in our current economy?
> The keyboard is extremely inefficient. It was not designed for efficiency. It was designed to look like the Ionian mode, with accidentals on a separate row.

If you are offering the Janko keyboard as any kind of alternative, I would have to politely disagree. The video with the guy playing stride piano from 1912 was not really that compelling given music especially since 1920. But, like Coltrane brought back the soprano sax from relative obscurity (Sidney Bechet was an early exponent of the instrument from 3 decades previous), there may very well be a new player of the Janko keyboard who brings it from the past into the present.

How efficient does one need a keyboard to be? What is the millisecond improvement of a Janko kbd over standard? Why is 10 fingers at a time on a Janko keyboard better than 10 fingers at a time on a standard keyboard? What kind of musical situation demands 10 simultaneous notes from the keyboard player? Why do you say the current standard keyboard is "extremely inefficient"?
Many people assume that if they're seeing something that's more expensive than they're used to that they're being ripped off for some reason. Ripping people off with high prices is actually very rare nowadays, mostly thanks to the big online marketplaces.

These large price differentials are purely due to the insane economies of scale we're able to create. It's not a wonder that there's a 128GB USB stick as expensive as $1675, it's a wonder there's a 128GB USB stick as cheap as $27.

Imagine it took 1 million dollars to develop the tech and implement the manufacturing process of a 128GB stick. Assume they cost $5 to manufacture, and $20 to market and ship. Then when you sell a million you've recuperated your R&D and made a million profit that warrants the 6 million upfront investment you had to do.

Same story but now with the expensive 128GB sticks, of which you're only going to sell 1000. Even though the stick is 1675, you only make 1.650.000, so your effective budget to develop the fancy encryption scheme and make a profit is 650.000.
I think you have it backwards. The price of the asset being mined determines the costs of the energy put in to mine it.

By equitable distribution, I mean that mining is on average only marginally profitable; the bulk of mined coin needs to be sold on the open market, which means there is always liquidity and availability to those seeking to enter or exit.

Hashing power centralization and coin distribution are different topics. Decentralization of hashing power will continue to increase as the renewable energy costs continue to lower, because they will eventually match and then lower beneath the subsidized rates currently available only in specific jurisdictions. Costs will shift to initial capital investment rather than energy supply.
It was a simple request with a good explanation. The author can say no.
The issue here is that for some reason I often struggle to remember which function sorts in ascending order [(b-a) or (a-b)].

In fact, your example suffers from the same problem: It sorts in descending order (20,10,2,1) instead of ascending (1,2,10,20).

Telling JS to use a TypedArray [Int8,...,BigInt64] instead can solve this without remembering and providing your own comparator:

Float64Array.from([1,2,10,20]).sort(); //[1,2,10,20]
> The idea that you could do this belies total ignorance of chemistry, fossil fuel genesis and the laws of thermodynamics.

This was many people's reaction to hearing about carbon capture. And one that TFA does nothing to dispel. But I'm not sure that's the final word, it sounds like there may be reversible chemical reactions which can actually capture carbon in an energy-efficient way. One source:

> Some do blame the loss of the gold standard, but the leading theory is the OPEC oil crisis.

The latter is a consequence of the former. The US defaulting on its gold obligation is equivalent to trading oil in exchange for paper rather than gold. Of course the OPEC countries were reluctant to sell their oil for irredeemable pieces of paper rather than something redeemable in gold.

Talking about the “oil price” as one thing before and after 1971 doesn’t even make sense, as the US gold default constituted a change in the unit of measurement for USD-denominated prices (gold versus irredeemable paper notes).

Which ones? I don't believe I am, they're just not the point being discussed here.
It may be illegal to sell locally but completely legal to import for personal use (e.g. because Pine64 isn't conducting business in your country at all, they have no obligation to comply with local regulations, only you, the importer of record, have those obligations and you probably aren't required to provide yourself with a warranty).
I agree, machine learning can certainly be over transparent models and classic models can certainly be non transparent. I tend to think of machine learning as any method which optimizes not only the model parameters, but also the model structure in a single step. Though then again the latter are just parameters of a more abstract model. So its all always optimization in the end.
I feel like there’s something more interesting going on here than the author is giving credit to.

Most tools you can start by solving simple problems with, and gradually work up the complexity of the problem you’re addressing until it does “something useful”.

This is a good way to learn what you can, can’t and should use a tool for.

Deep learning is problematic though; solving trivial tasks is actually quite difficult, and often the “something useful” level of sophistication means copy pasting someone else’s paper and tweaking it a bit and kind of vaguely hoping something you do makes any difference.

Being able to solve trivial problems with neural networks is really important, and useful; not because it’s a good solution, but because it means you can see what happens when you try it out.

The problem with this post isn’t the conclusion; the author is quite right. You can solve this problem in many ways, maybe NN aren’t the best for this kind of trivial problem.

...but, if you want to solve harder problems with more than random trial and error tweaking parameters, solving easy problems with the same tool is a good way to learn how.

...and we have like 20 years of proof that using hand crafted models has been proven not to scale effectively.
I love ESPHome, I have it on a variety of smart lightbulbs, smart plugs, custom ESP32 projects and Shelly 1's. Having the device behaviour as "code" (yaml) for me is much nicer than some UI configuration when you start to scale up to lots of devices. It means I can have my IoT devices behaviour stored in Git and roll out updates quickly.
I just expected more by what was effectively the hybrid gold-standard (the Prius). My Passat was a regular diesel with some tweaks (VW called it "bluemotion"), thinking it got so close to the average hybrid efficiency made me slightly sad for a minute. But it's not important anyway, hopefully we're rapidly approaching an electric-first setup and that's what matters.
I'm sure they have but the US military only buys from the US so that cuts out most manufacturers.
Type A ports on motherboards are capable of 5V, 500mA usually but I've seen some laptops with 1A ports.

Type A ports on wall chargers can support QuickCharge - and yes, this will work with an A to C cable.

Having used the similarly spec'd TS100, you're better off getting yourself a 20V capable USB C brick for this.
I guess it's mostly about acknowledging his free contribution to their own work. Being thankful and such. Though, it's questionable how much value his work really have for them and whether the company is actually aware of it.

I will second that eventually smart home (accent on home, not household) will go full wired, while semi-disposable gadgets may well stay wireless, but the idea of fully wireless home automation is now out of the windows for so many reasons.

I had a discussion with one guy from IKEA who bid on "full wireless" because "it is where Apple, and Google go."

The conversation went all went fine for him until a moment of Zen enlightenment hit him: "Outside Europe, people live in concrete houses." That very moment the smile vanishes from his face, and the guy looked like he felt a total facepalm moment.
If I remember correctly a lot of that came from fleet cars. Often the drivers never got as far as unwrapping the charging cable. They weren't paying for the fuel so they didn't care or they never had somewhere to plug in.
Actually I think maybe GP was sincere, and that one (your link) copied it.

GP has months (at least) of comments, and they're not vacuous. (Unless they're all copied from elsewhere too, but there aren't replies identifying that, and I'm not going to dig into it. :))
Little did you know, it achieved that level by wiping the mind of the person tampering with it rather than wiping itself.
RMS does not own the GNU Project. Period. Many have said that this action is about removing him from his own project - it is not, it is a statement that he should not lead a collective project which he founded. He is a founder and a leader, not a king. He’s not even a BDFL. It is not disrespectful or unethical to espouse this view. I don’t think it’s necessarily disrespectful or unethical to oppose this view either, but it is disrespectful to the child victims of sex crimes to accuse the signatories of the statement of acting unethically or underhandedly.

It’s good that you don’t want them to leave GNU, but then asking ‘Why wouldn't Guix just leave the RMS's GNU Project then?’ seems strange - why would they indeed? I think it’s not unreasonable to take them at face value: they made a statement about their belief that the personal conduct of RMS made him unfit to lead the GNU Project.

For what it’s worth, RMS is someone who I think can change his mind when he believes he is honestly wrong, which is not something you always get with people in his position. This however doesn’t mean his statements should go uncriticised. Linus Torvalds is a gold standard here, where his professional conduct was called into question and he took a serious look at himself, made some changes to his behaviour, and came back stronger than ever. RMS could take a leaf out of his book.
gspr's answer is the primary answer, but a secondary answer is that carbon capture can use a clean cheap power like solar to clean up after power that isn't clean but has other attributes that solar doesn't, like being portable and/or not bursty.

There are predictions that within a decade the price of solar will have dropped so much that it's going to be cheaper to create hydrocarbons by synthesizing them using atmospheric CO2 than it will be to pull them from the ground.
The cheap one can’t be used as a harddrive since the write speed is 30 times slower. For reading the difference is 4x. So they are pretty different products.

Given how much online shopping I see, it is not surprising. Packages being delivered left and right. They need to be shipped from overseas, distributed and then finally delivered. All that ain't free.

> often convey a deep sense of hubris

I meant what I said as a reply to parent's assertion about resource consumption and unsustainability, so I don't know, maybe it is hubris.

But I feel like it's safe to assume that the vast majority of people don't really think about how their behaviours in respect to consumption impacts the world as a whole. I'm probably not educated enough in this respect either, but I am pretty sure that following a philosophy where owning less things is better than owning more things is preferable.

Yes, I know that in the big picture of the environmental issues the planet has it is not individual contributions that have the largest impact. However the companies that do, are the ones that hold the same "uneducated" people in decision making positions.

So, that's why I concluded that better environmental education as a whole would mean less need for humans to flee to other planets. If I'm wrong and that's not the case, then it means the Wachowkis were right, humanity really is a virus.

Coming to your other point:

> I think they mean it in the 'species' sense:

If parent meant it like you're suggesting, it's not by saving the whole species as it is now (ie, 7+ billions of people) but as descendants of the lucky few that get to leave Earth. That in my opinion is definitely not the same as saving the species.

More to the point, for the software solution, you have to trust the user to actually do the encryption and to use a strong passphrase.
The arrow operator is a field access through a pointer. That is, if you have a pointer to a struct, it's the same as dereferencing the pointer and accessing the field: "(*foo).bar" corresponds to "foo->bar".

I think the main driving logic is on line 228. It could definitely do with some more descriptive variable names, though - "a" for angle, and "s" for sense inputs seems a bit too short.

This argument basically relies on the assumption that it is at least as energy intensive to convert CO2 into something more solid than the energy you get from burning hydrocarbons to produce that CO2, but I think that assumption isn’t true.

I can’t recall where I saw it and I’m not a chemistry expert but conservation of energy is a thing and there is more potential energy in hydrocarbons than in some simple inert solid molecules containing carbon (which have slightly more potential energy than the CO2 and water produced by combustion). If you can be reasonably efficient then it is possible to extract energy from hydrocarbons without releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. That said, I don’t think there are any sufficiently efficient industrial scale processes to do this.
How long do they last on a battery? I have the older version https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32845863956.html which runs on a about 9 months on a rechargeable AAA penlite. But I could use a few more and these new ones are a lot cheaper.
A CEO from Japan came over to America to give a speech at his new factory. His English wasn’t great, so he spoke, and the translator spoke to everyone.

Well at one point he went on about thanking local government officials, and that he would be sure to give them gifts for approving the project.

The translator wisely left that part out.

Confused, the CEO later asked why, then was shocked to learn that bribery is a bad thing in America.

Interesting take on the matter. In my case, looking at my past behaviour, I tend to prefer veeeeery long games apparently.
