I would think the community as whole doesn't want this site to devolve into constant pop culture references memes and look at me too comments that reddit reeks of. Yeah yeah, you read a certain popular book. If it doesn't pertain to the convo in any meaningful way, please shut the fuck up with your stupid jokes. That's my 2 cents anyway.
I find that it actually gets easier as you get further along, because you start using higher and higher level components. The hardest (to optimise, not to implement) for me were the components just after the basic gates (counters, latches, etc).
This really lowers your expected value by a lot What you describe is very very far from the optimal strategy.

Has Chris specifically mentioned OS kernel programming?
As the Golang team have pointed out, there's lots of systems programming going on in userspace, which is what they refer to when they call Golang a systems programming language.

That being said, ARC is probably easier to get to work well in-kernel vs. tracing garbage collection. There's a performance cost to all of those reference count updates, but at least the variance is extremely low.

Huh? No one captured you in a web browser and made you go to any website. There’s a whole world out there, go talk all you want.

> I don't know, and don't care. The graying out of comments happens quickly, and people use it to hide comments they don't like.

Yes. You’re not the only person who gets to have opinions. Part of having disagreements is the people who react negatively to your opinions may also want to minimize your opinions’ presence in their life. You’re not entitled to their audience. I mean this sincerely: did you not learn that you can’t demand friendships before now?
At least in Europe prices for European vs Chinese panels are not that different. In my country I've seen Chinese panels for €80/ea and locally manufactured for €140/ea (for a ~300w panel).

Most people prefer the European panels because the overall price isn't that much different, and they know if they ever need to make a warranty claim it'll be a lot easier from a European manufacturer.

These are retail prices for home installation - of course for utility scale it's a different story.
I know digital logic, yet was perplexed by the odd definition of D flip-flop this game uses with both "store" and "clock" inputs, which matches none of the standard variants of DFFs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flop_(electronics)#D_flip...

Edit: this continues on with the counter level, where you can use the register but it does not behave like the typical set of edge-triggered flip-flops (or transparent latches) that one would normally use. My best attempt at coming up with an explanation is that it's like two-phase edge-triggered logic.
For any company Google's size (including Google), it's rarely ever accurate to say "$COMPANY does $X". Maybe some parts of Google quantitatively tests everything, but it is safe to assume that there's huge variation across the company in testing rigor.
Saudi Arabia has a decent plan, to IPO Saudi Aramco and reinvest the proceeds to hedge against a decline in the oil industry. It seems like a good idea, but a political question if they can stick to it. Similar idea to Norway’s sovereign wealth fund.
But it doesn't seem like you have a very good understanding of EV and probability either since you recommend a completely sub-optimal strategy.
>3. The renewables industry likes to downplay the sheer volume of fossil fuels required to manufacture the parts. The energy ROI on this is quite poor, and in many cases, we would have been better off skipping the intermediate step and burning the oil and gas directly.

I'm assuming you're referring to Ferroni and Hopkirk (2016) which claimed ERORI of ~0.8-1.7.

You should be aware that their work has been pretty thoroughly picked apart - the rebuttal produced immediately after the above, by 27 international scholars, suggests a ERORI of 7-8. It has likely improved since that time.

M1 Macs: Truth and Truthiness
"AI" (quoting since we aren't there yet) will have to deal with what Melanie Mitchell calls "the long tail problem" before we'll accept it as AI - https://youtu.be/NMUqvhuDZtQ . While she gives instances such as "how is an autonomous vehicle supposed to distinguish between a flock of birds on the road versus a small snowman versus a kid versus a rock versus a small animal.. all of which would warrant different responses, if the system can only respond if it has seen this stuff in training before." (paraphrasing) .. and she brings up the example of Teslas getting confused by salt lines laid prior to snow season. (I'm in India, so I wouldn't know such things were done either.)

With natural language and speech interfaces, we face such long tail problems too .. like the Burger King ad triggering a whopper lookup via "ok google".[1]

You really don't need to destroy neighborhoods to build trains.

You need to destroy neighborhoods to built road infrastructure, though. This is because "I/O operations" on high-speed roads with massive bandwidth à-la-USA requires ungodly amounts of space.

Here is the infrastructure needed for high-speed rail : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/26/FXD1-J00..., plus one train station per city. The switches can be built outside.

Here is the infrastructure needed for traditional highways: https://i0.wp.com/usa.streetsblog.org/wp-content/uploads/sit...

If the infrastructure that was built was not horribly inefficient due to an almost ideological opposition to mass transit, there wouldn't have been neighbourhoods destroyed wholesale, and the precedent leading to the gargantuan opposition we see right now would simply not be present.

Neuroscience Basics: A Guide to the Brain's Involvement in Everyday Activities
Unless you're a PhD molecular biologist (I'm not) with some meta-understanding of mRNA vaccines and I've missed something, I think the person you're responding to is actually correct.

"COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are given in the upper arm muscle. Once the instructions (mRNA) are inside the muscle cells, the cells use them to make the protein piece. After the protein piece is made, the cell breaks down the instructions and gets rid of them."

"Next, the cell displays the protein piece on its surface. Our immune systems recognize that the protein doesn’t belong there and begin building an immune response and making antibodies, like what happens in natural infection against COVID-19."

"At the end of the process, our bodies have learned how to protect against future infection. The benefit of mRNA vaccines, like all vaccines, is those vaccinated gain this protection without ever having to risk the serious consequences of getting sick with COVID-19."

> However, we still don't know if pi, e or square root 2 are normal.

The math is somewhat beyond me - at least, without digging into the formal proof - but my understanding is that we can prove that pi cannot be represented as a ratio of two integers, and therefore cannot have a finite decimal representation.
If that were true then maps will stop working for anyone traveling to another country. I know that's certainly not the case on Android, and I suspect it's not on iOS either.
Ask yourself what you would do with your time if money weren't an issue. In my experience it's easier to get good at things you want to be doing, and it also keeps you from getting tricked into doing things that everyone else is doing or things that will make money but make you unhappy. If the thing you want to do tends to generate money (CS for example) then you're all set, if it doesn't (music for example) then figure out how to solve the problem of making money with that skill, otherwise you are more likely to be mediocre at multiple things because you'll be forced to do something you don't want to do to pay the bills.

I would argue that the complexity of the world itself is not changing all that much.

Instead, as the sphere of human knowledge grows, our awareness of the area just outside that sphere becomes both larger and more obvious.

The general complexity of the universe exists regardless of how much humans understand it. (probably)
> Tesla has shown quite readily that batteries are probably better than peaker plants for most cases.

Where and how it shown that?
Some of it is in base materials and some of it in smelting requirements (though I'm not 100% sure how much of that could be replaced by electricity).

Most of it is in the mining, refining, and transport of the massive quantities of metals needed to manufacture and install the combination of generation, transport, transformation, and storage equipment + the second/third order equipment to manufacture the electrical equipment.

Our supply chains are dependent on fossil fuels for all of this, and we're a long long way off from replicating even a fraction of it with a purely electrical version.

If we do choose to pursue that goal (which I think is worthwhile), the renewables still lack the energy ROI to make it feasible. We can do it, but it pretty much requires wide scale adoption of nuclear for the thermodynamics to work out.
Well, gRPC uses HTTP/2 as its default transport so I'm not sure "HTTP is for hypertext documents" is valid.

Note that gRPC never used HTTP/2 PUSH_PROMISE frames so it isn't affected by their removal. gRPC's bi-directional streams have to be initiated by the client.

It continues to be useful to me. I do not use a browser for pipelining; I wrote simple, custom utilities for generating HTTP.

The notion of "HOL blocking" as a "problem" relies on an assumption about the user. Namely, that (a) the user is trying to load resources from multiple sources to display a webpage and (b) the order of the delivery of those resources does not matter. I understand how this fits into Google's business however this is not something I am trying to do.

Rather, I routinely download multiple resources from the same source and the order of delivery is important. The simplest example is I am downloading 100 pages from a website; I want page one first and page 100 last, and I do not want page 2 before page 1 is finished. I use pipelining to make 100 HTTP requests over a single TCP connection. It is fast, efficient and has worked reliably for decades.^1

There was a time when server resources were important. For example, opening 100 TCP connections to make 100 HTTP requests might be unduly burdensome on the server. Not to mention each request might complete (or not complete) at a different time. I might receive page 42 before page 21. Then I have to check to make sure each page was received and order them after they all complete. Relative to what I can do, easily, using HTTP/1.1 pipelining, this is a PITA.

HTTP/1.1 pipelining has more uses than what the designers of HTTP/2 (Google) might envision. The way I use HTTP/1.1 pipelining, for information retrieval, which only requires a TCP client, e.g., netcat, and a text editor (cf. a third party HTTP/2 library), does not have a "HOL blocking problem".

HTTP/1.1 pipelining is not "useless" simply because it does not fit a particular use case involving browsers, internet advertising and commercialisation of the www by those organisations who control browsers and the internet advertising market (and pitch the things they develop in-house like HTTP/2 as "standards").

1. It is common when the topic of discussion occasionally turns to HTTP/1.1 pipelining to see the follwing factoid repeated: "No browsers have it enabled". There is another factoid we should repeat: "All web servers have it enabled". (This is why I have been using it for so long.) In both cases there may be exceptions. There could be a browser that has pipelining enabled and there are some websites, a very small minority, that have pipelining disabled.

That's not true, it's pretty common in the finance/trading for the office to go spend tens or even hundreds of thousands when the lottery has a positive EV. I've seen brilliant people throw down thousands of dollars. Mostly because it's fun, but also because it's rational.
Random but there was an incident where the lottery number was identical to last weeks', just out of sheer luck.

I think the point of these was for when they read low-precision values out of a printed table and then multiplied them using slide rules. Even though the article doesn't say it, I can't think of any other practical reason to multiply by adding logarithms.
So, I’ll give away a little bit of my teenage naivety (pretty old now relative to my 20s, still a child to some here) in that lately I’ve been influenced by some serious reading on the Holocaust and Nazi-Soviet dystopian ideas. In a sense, we really didn’t see the insanity until it fulfilled it’s natural conclusion (a disgusting simile to the final solution). Such a pattern is more common place amongst addicts, who basically need to bottom out until they get it.

The sadness is that I know it must play out before we can come to the table and solve it.

In other words, there’s no shortcuts, and we have to see it through to the end to prove it, no inductive step. No theory in this.
Probably not? I'm not sure what your point is here.
Exactly, this just appears to be a war of well monied groups. Group A makes a billion a year bleeding horseshoe crabs and group B wants in on that and has come up with a synthetic alternative. The group that wins will be the one that lobbies the best. This round appears to have gone to the horseshoe crab bleeders. The proponents of the synthetic alternative most likely have financial incentive to do so.

Essential Speed Reading Techniques: How to Become a Better, Faster Reader
Users must "cash out" at some point (Even the miners need to be able to convert to their currency to pay for electricity, etc.).

And you can only cash out through these "custodial wallets". For example you can't "cash out" and convert your ETH into USD from MetaMask. So all that's needed for the government is to enforce the law on these custodial wallets.

It's not so different from how they deal with Tor. Even though the onion network gives the false sense of security, government agents mostly have taken over the entrance and exit nodes of the Tor network, and most criminals get caught this way. Using the "cash out" analogy, the entrance and exit Tor nodes are equivalent to the custodial wallets.

What right does Apple have to make hundreds of billions dollars and to continually abuse their wealth for more power? You act as though Apple is suffering. It's pretty ridiculous.

This isn't a draconian government takeover. It's to prevent a company, of all things, becoming more powerful than many governments in the world. Companies have no allegiance to the people and must be checked.

That's not how society works. Humans can be abused and manipulated and deceived. I have seen scenarios in which Apple was a customer of another company. Apple was incredibly abusive in many ways, and this was toward a billion dollar plus company. How do you think Apple treats or cares about others, including its own customers?
