Well I hope you're right. We have FAANG in London already and many tech jobs, and salaries haven't risen to FAANG levels. There still seems to be a bimodal distribution between big tech, high finance and some contractors, and everyone else. Of course it's a different country altogether and there are likely many different reasons for that.

An anonymous petition is totally useless.

It's usual to ask for addresses, at least in the UK, and if the petition is aimed at being submitted according to a legal process there may be requirements that signatories be residents or constituents.

Sure faking addresses is not much more difficult than faking names but then I suppose there's also a trade-off with complexity and cost and they also ask for ID data.

"No ADAS system currently on the market has safety guarantees on perception or planning algorithms.

So, what must be guaranteed is the ability of the driver to easily regain full control of the vehicle at any time. In openpilot, this is done through the satisfaction of the 2 main safety principles that a Level 2 driver assistance system must have:

1. The driver must always be capable to immediately re-take manual control of the vehicle, by stepping on either pedal or by pressing the cancel button;

2.The vehicle must not alter its trajectory too quickly for the driver to safely react. This means that while the system is engaged, the actuators are constrained to operate within reasonable limits."
This is great, so simple, would be great to have a sync feature.

It's technically not pumping and dumping because Elon posts memes that shill his investments but he rarely gives a call to action and if possible avoids naming the cryptocurrency in question.

He's definitively manipulating the market in the sense of the colloquial meaning of the word.

If there are public signals that predict the performance of a stock then those who benefit the most are those who execute their trades as quickly as possible and since Elon knows what he is going to "announce" on his Twitter account he is going to benefit massively.

What people don't realise about Pixar is how much iteration goes into their stories - they're very comfortable with taking some idea and working on it from different angles until it's good. And there's a process there that can be taught. I think that's contrary to the way some people imagine storytelling - it's almost never the case that some creative person has a brilliant story come out perfect in the first draft. Storytelling requires creativity but it isn't magic. You can also see the lack of this process in so so many films - George Lucas famously drafted out the Star Wars prequels under pressure, no one had the nerve to challenge him and they just ran with the his early drafts every time. Those drafts should have been a starting point, not the end product. And you can say this for many films that come out - there are good ideas somewhere in them, they just had to work on the story a bit more and that's often at odds with studio pressures, release date deadlines etc.

This course looks lovely. It's great for KA to have this kind of material and not just calculus tutorials (as much as I personally appreciated the calculus).

I just got (and am currently typing this on) a Samsung S7+ tablet. It's massive and has taken me a while to get used to, but if we truly want to get rid of paper, this is the size e-readers and tablets need to be. Since this thing is basically a giant, relatively delicate pane of glass and metal and not even remotely cheap, I think it'll be a while yet.
Well, that covers the paper, for the most part. Thanks for explaining that.

Now, let's talk about the other components:

the ink (petrochemicals, for the most part)

the production, transportation, and containers for the ink

the runoff into our biosphere from the ink production

the transportation of the paper to the printing facility

the binding (glue)

the transportation of the catalogs to the stores

the plastic wrap and other packaging for the catalogs

the labor put into it (perhaps those people could be paid to rest instead? probably better for everyone all-around)

Did I miss anything?

How many dead, displaced, or injured animals do you think that is per catalog? How many humans harmed by exposure to manufactured poison? How many gallons of diesel extracted, transported, refined, transported again, and burned? How many dozen pieces of trucks, trains, and container ships mined, produced, and worn down? Is it still better than viewing the same catalogs online on an already existing computer screen?

Every single artefact produced by our system has a similar footprint. It's not just money cost. And I think it's worth considering.
That seems like it's not going to be possible in the long run. You can turn the company logo into a tracking pixel.
The article is an ad for Hey email, not much else.
Few years back when awareness about email tracking wasn't so common, I noticed often I after I looked at one of those recruiter spam emails, they'd call my phone 5 minutes later. Just downright creepy stuff. Leaned to disable "Load remote content" since then. Unfortunately it's on by default and many less technical users probably have no idea what's happening.
OK, we ban it, now what? I think the cat is out of the bag there, and I believe that institutions that are driven to convict rather than to seek justice or attack terrorism rather than to preserve peace will still use all the tools they can with little or no regard for law, like they always have.

I don't think anyone should be scared of pressing the unsubscribe button in 2021. This was a common belief back in 1999, but I don't believe that should be anymore: spammers (legit spammers) don't care that there's an actual person on the other side. If the email address did not exist, the legit ISP's would have sent a notification on the feedback loop to the newsletter already, saying that this address does not exist. I think there's nowadays very little gain if any for bad actors to be had by letting them know you exist by clicking a link.

My belief about people being weary of the unsubscribe button are elaborated on here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26164450

Could you elucidate? I’m very comfortable with Make, and I can’t think what you might be referring to, unless you mean the way it uses mtimes for freshness, which isn’t a bug for any correct Make script. (And for incorrect Make scripts, there are vastly easier ways of making it do the wrong thing than ones driven by mtime coarseness.)

It gets blurry beyond the first swingified level. Most common is binary subdivisions ( meaning that your 1/3rds become 1/6ths), but if the swing is slow enough, another layer of 1/3rds is possible too, making 1/9ths effectively.

For everyone that is worried about the data being collected:

This is not your regular online-petition. This is an European Citizens' Initiative. It is an official procedure and the only mechanism the European Union gives their citizens to directly put topics on the Commission's table without being mediated by their politicians.

The EU makes it extremely difficult to succeed even getting them to discuss something. Most ECIs attempts are striked off before they are even allowed to collect signatures. The fact that this initiative has been allowed to start collecting signatures is already a great success and means it may get somewhere.

Signature collection is certified by the German authorities (https://sign.reclaimyourface.eu/api/d/certification.pdf) and needs to follow strict data compliance rules (another hurdle).

Getting an ECI to qualify (1 million signatures or enough signatures in some countries) is very difficult, but achieving it sends a strong signal to EU leadership about what citizens worry about. Asking for your name and personal ID number is the minimum information needed to ensure the system is otherwise not abused, so that authorities can do minimal verification about the signers. Note that in the early days of ECIs, online collection was not even allowed. Authorities in each country are in charge of verifying the signatures from that country.

So please, if you are an European citizen and agree with the goals of this ECI, sign it and do something good with your data. You do not have to sign up for the newsletter or provide an email. Don't let 1 tree block the view of the forest.

If you want to read about the process and how it can be useful or useless, and what hurdles organizers need to go through, check the actual regulation: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELE... .

The Decline of Poetry and How Our Expression Is Dying
I suppose "art" is meant as "technique" here. Modern large productions are so standardized today it is not an uncommon feeling one is watching the same movie ever end ever. I think the last Pixar movie that was worth is "Up" (OK I have not seen them all).

My main grief is that surprise is only obtained with a combination of visual effects, fast rhythm and loud sounds, and no more with the story. Relationships between characters is déjà-vu, so many times a conflicting parent/children relationship, where the parent is reflective but wrong and the child impulsive but right and they end up reconciling and admitting they were both partly right in the end. In "Soul" they play a bit with this pattern although I would hardly call this creativity.

And finally many animation movies are also shameless green washing (here thinking of Wolfwalkers). Remember the critical tone of Wall-E?
I like the idea of flipping DIMMs to get capacity and processing improvements, and also the thought that mass-produced memory with this tech could potentially significantly reduce the cost of AI hardware through commoditization

I have seen some fireplaces in US (I am from Poland) and outside of northern states they are all decorative pieces not designed to heat the home.

A good fireplace is completely closed (yes! no fire visible!) and is built to recover and store as much heat as possible.

* the fireplace must be enclosed completely so that it is possible to regulate amount of air going inside and especially to close it completely and SAFELY when you go to sleep. You need to close it so that it does not suck air out of your house. The fireplace stores heat but it does not make any sense if, once it burns out, the air takes all that stored heat out.

* the hot gasses go through a complicated tunnel (not directly into chimney) to heat up a large amount of bricks made from material that has high energy capacity. That's why here in Europe we don't tell silly stories about Santa coming through the chimney, because that would be totally ridiculous. He could just as well be coming through water pipes, it is just as accessible.

* the fireplace is built on a steel bed so that you can easily take out the ash WHILE it is burning. Also, it supplies the fire from beneath which makes for much better heating.

* traditionally, if you made effort to keep fire on throughout the day, you want to make as much use of it as possible. That's why you will see these frequently performing multiple functions: separate space for oven, large top to be able to heat multitude of things, maybe even place to sleep (that especially in really cold climate in Russia, in Poland much less popular).

Here are pictures of traditional fireplaces you could expect to heat well:

https://images.app.goo.gl/Ka9uiuNTU3LxMHqa6

https://images.app.goo.gl/rWrvoqGxzcJHC5P77

The first one is something you would expect heating the kitchen and the main/dining room and provide most of the heating for the house throughout the day.

The second one is something to put in individual rooms that are too far from the kitchen. It is easy to light it up and it heats extremely quickly but also stores absolutely no heat.
Or allowing local builds with including custom patches. Giving people agency over the machines that run their lives is way too radical to be popular though.

"Further, the common belief that ridding disease and anomaly from society is an incontrovertible good can lead very quickly from the actual possibilities of science to fantasies of “improving” humanity where we would all become some aspirational version of personhood that is somehow better, stronger, smarter, and healthier."

Ridding the world of horrible diseases such as cancer, malaria, etc. and stopping humankind's worst atrocities such as war are truly laudable goals and I for one would like to see them eventuate.

However, there seems to be a downside to achieving a utopian world - and it springs intrinsically from the human condition itself. Very few want adversity and struggle in their lives but ask anyone who has overcome them and they will say that they're stronger and better people for it.

War is truly terrible but it often brings out the best in many (it has been argued that the Depression/WWII generation survivors were more ethical and understanding than their kids the babyboomer generation because of their hardship experiences - boomers having had a much cushier existence).

There are consequences too - if you want to improve things then there are often unintended consequences. Take China's one child policy for instance, the aim of limiting its population was to make things better for those already living but the policy was hated and it turned out a generation of spoiled selfish brats (as they had no rival siblings to compete (struggle) against).

Moreover, we don't seem to learn very well from experience either. Take WWII again, given memories of its horror and trauma, the world was a comparatively peaceful place for about 20 years afterwards but it didn't take long after that to fall back into our wayward ways.

I don't have a solution to these problems and all those that I've canvassed have horrible connotations - that is for at least they do for me (and I'd reckon many others also). Nevertheless, it's clear to me why I'm horrified, and that is because I have the mindset of a present-day human and I just can't clear the canvass and start allover again with a newer more suitable one that's better adapted to those future conditions.

However, we have to somehow evolve through and out of much of our current thinking or we'll be incapable of adequately coping with the future.
I wonder if the simplest "trick" is to do the exact opposite. Name your ~/.sqliterc something else, and then "alias sqlite3='sqlite3 -init ~/.sqliterc-interactive'" in your shell's config?

Although, I'm wondering if using "sqlite3 -init /dev/null" in scripts would be a better idea in general. That way you would guard yourself against some random user's config doing something really weird.

Reduction of price isn't predicated only on massive drops in renewable energy prices - a lot of the projected drops also come from drops in the non-electricity cost. (That EU paper gives an energy efficiency of 40% for the electricity -> gasoline conversion, which my gut feeling says is pretty close to the theoretical maximum.)

By my rough current calculations (average EU non-household electricity costs at 8 eurocents per kWh pre-tax, 0.12 after-tax; times 9.1kWh/L energy density of gasoline; divided by 0.4 conversion efficiency) electricity costs are only about 2.5 euros/L out of that 7 euros/L total. Could probably be brought down to 2 euros/L by concentrating production in places with plentiful renewables, like how aluminum production is currently concentrated in Iceland. That leaves 4-5 euros/L coming from non-electricity costs, where cost reductions will be easier but need to be more drastic.

Even 3 euros/L is still really expensive, but only about 100-150% above the pre-pandemic peak. Anyone who doesn't really need that specific energy or energy density would still have a very strong incentive to go electric, but there would still be some viable (though more expensive) business model for mass/volume-constrained applications like air travel.
