If you only pulled the main breaker and left, as you wrote at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26211345, then the water in the pipes in the house would still burst once the interior temperature drops below freezing, and likely still flood.

You would also have had to shut the water off to the house and drain your house's plumbing system, empty the toilet tanks and water heater, add nontoxic antifreeze to the traps, etc.

So as jdanders pointed out, pulling the main breaker means you won't have the large power bill, but the home repair bill of a house that wasn't prepared for internal freezing temperatures might be larger.

I assume it can still be used for other CUDA applications, although I doubt that miners will care much about that.

Yup. And even if they could utilize them 24/7, gamers generally* won't have 10+ cards going at once.

It depends.

The Denver one [0] basically landed straight away at the same airport 40 minutes later. The Maastricht one [1] circled around for an hour, and landed on a completely different airport. The whole "immediate" and "closest" is relative.

Strange as it may seem, an engine failure isn't that big of a deal: the aircraft is designed to fly for hours while missing an engine. However, the aircraft is now in a bit of an unknown state. The pilots need time to work through their checklists, determining what the exact impact is. The airplane might be leaking fuel; it might've lost a set of hydraulics; maybe it's on fire; maybe the engine can be restarted and everything is fine.

Landing as soon as possible at the closest safe location might turn out to be hours later and hundreds of miles away, perhaps even at your destination airport!

Your comment, which implies the 777 is unsafe, is nonsense. The 777 has a great record.

Mark Versioning: social versioning with semantic guarantees
Brooks’ book seems like it is percieved as a software engineering classic but it’s mostly about the management side of things.

Companies are very hierarchical so of course it makes sense for managers that most things should ideally come from one mind or a few agreeing minds. Then the average developer just have to do the grunt work.

So why is the book popular among developers? Because there is an elite cadre of developers in Brooks model which do have autonomy. I guess that cadre might also be known by other names.

[1] And the big man-month lesson of the book should be much more obvious now than it might have been back then: as you add more cooks you also have to take into account the communication overhead among all the new nodes.
It’s tough to make the jump. Part of the trouble is that pure science and research is what interests and fulfills you -- in principle. It just doesn’t pay enough, and only a tiny fraction of researchers see real success. To make the jump into industry, you have to admit to yourself that a) the academic life isn’t what you hoped for and never will be; and b) you, personally, will never make the kind of scientific breakthrough you still dream about.

For all that you may be able to go from a tiny salary to a six-figure salary, you still need to admit failure at some level, and that’s hard.

> Not Covid.

even if so doesn't diminish the point in the argument. there are stories[0][1] that pilots have this problem (and are complaining about it) so it would be obvious that this holds also for all other staff.

apart from confusing the routine with changes that have not been tested / practiced there is also economic anxiety affecting them (perhaps even more than other industries). In any case the aviation industry usually keeps good tabs[2] on their employees mental health.

Presumably people enjoy investing in crypto. It’s a hobby for many, like gaming.
To play one game for one day with your GPU - and I'm just guessing here - probably uses a small fraction of the power that mining 0.0001% of a bitcoin does, because blockchain is not the same thing as graphics.

Besides, it's also the transacting that uses a lot of energy, not just the mining.

Everything You Need to Know About Fantasy Map Making According to an Insider
Article 26 is short and sweet, you may as well quote all of it.

> Article 26.

> (1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.

> (2) Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.

> (3) Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

You need to quote all of it to give the correct context.

Here's article 29 in full:

> Article 29.

> (1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.

> (2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.

> (3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations

29(3) is saying that nation states can't, for example, claim to be providing people with compulsory eduction when in fact those people are being indoctrinated.
As a minor nit, the way it was said was a bit harsh, but it seemed to be done in the spirit of necessary, tough love.

I'm appalled by intellectual laziness and codependency these days. We have a mostly illiterate, ignorant, distracted, atomized society that doesn't read, doesn't dig into primary or even secondary sources, doesn't have critical thinking skills, is easily-manipulated by advertising, mainstream news, and social media, doesn't communicate in-person that much, and more and more people feel entitled to be spoon-fed answers and information like helpless chicks tweeting for a worm (the definition of codependency). Only by more people reading, learning, researching, thinking, and doing for themselves more often can these trends be reversed.

PSA: Turn off the screens and read a respectable nonfiction book more often, please.

> You're a conscious being that has free will. Technically, the only thing you "must" obey is physics

That's what I do. The branch is biochemistry. Existence o free will is debatable - people are easily controlled via various chemicals: when to eat, sleep, love, hate, believe or to be conscious. As many of those are endogenous, it turns out that humans are spectrum. What you call belief might be nothing more then your body producing higher level of DHT compared to somebody else.

If/when we override all of that, we will no longer be homosapiens.

It exists in Dune world and is called Gom Jabar, but every next day in this world it looks more and more to be just another typical anthropomorphic illusion.

> Besides, making life-changing decisions with "no reason" is... I don't know... irresponsible with regard to yourself?

Living in virtual worlds might be irresponsible too with regard to yourself and others.

And besides, I clearly stated reason does exist, part of it biochemical, part of it because I admire certain parent-only-human-attributes.

Semantncs. Sex is prereq for kids at this moment. I guess you didn't hear for oxy also ?

> I don't think lifespan and healthspan are separable like you suggest.

Of course they are. You can live 90 years like a champ and drop dead next day. Or you can treat your body like garbage can and live 70 years but half of it wished you were never born. Would you switch places with Hawking ?

I am sure Kurzweil would not agree with you. :-)

> Technically, the only thing you "must" obey is physics

Technically, if we are being pedantic, this is also questionable and thing of faith. Simulation theory ?
On the contrary, this is the one example of a company doing something for the public good even when no one asked them to.
In the case of a lot of tech companies, the entire market is broken and leads to weird incentives rarely seen in any other industry: companies that aren’t profitable, don’t have a real product people pay for, don’t have a clear, plausible path to profitability and yet somehow stay in business because investors are happy to burn money.

This completely reverses the typical market dynamics. The company is more focused on catering to investor’s wet dreams than actually solving business problems, and “engineering playgrounds” with 3 different programming languages, microservices, AI & blockchain netting them a 5-figure monthly AWS bill is something that appears to please investors more than a rock-solid, “boring” backend. Maybe the complex architecture succeeds at obfuscating the fact there’s no business model nor plans for one?
I think it would less because of lost routine, more because of less work / more bored / less concentrated. It's well known, for high quality on work, you should have enough work (not super stress, but no free time to think about to much other things).
but it also gives the moral hazard of someone wanting to start such a regime, because they know they can profit/garner personal wealth during their reign, then beg for amnesty after a while (when it looks like their grip on power is lowered), and possibly, hiding their wealth gained away somewhere secret.

Where as, in a world where such amnesty doesn't exist, they may have to face the possibility of being executed when they lose power (which, if history is to be believed, they eventually do). Therefore, some who are more cowards but cunning won't want to be a dictator, and thus, you end up with a more democratic system.
In the case of Ruby, it's not really trying to be smart. Ruby loads everything into a single namespace, so loading multiple versions of the same dependency could cause classes, modules, etc. from version 1.1 to overwrite those already loaded by version 1.0. The dependency manager is constrained by the language. The same is true of most languages that I'm aware of, though Java can load multiple versions of the same class.

The biggest problem caused by using multiple versions of the same library is that object representations are not stable across versions. Let's say you use a library "foo" that creates and manipulates Foo objects. You want to serialize them to JSON, so you use the third-party library "foo-json". If you have foo@2.1.0 and foo-json depends on foo@1.9.7 then foo-serializers will likely fail to serialize the Foo objects created by your application. This is why npm supports peer dependency constraints, though usually they're invisible to you as a user.

There are also performance and cost issues associated with using multiple versions of each library:

1. Starting the application requires loading many of those library versions, so you will have higher start-up latency than if you only had one copy of each library.

2. If the target platform uses method-based JIT compilation (e.g. Java), each of those libraries will be compiled independently when it is used. This can cause the application to feel sluggish between the time it initially starts up and the time that all of the copies of the libraries on the hot path have been compiled.

3. The program needs to be loaded into memory to execute it. You're not only paying for more hard disk space, but also more RAM. The additional memory required can start to add up if you're running enough replicas of the application in production.

For many small applications the performance and cost issues aren't major concerns, but they can become problematic as the application grows.
There are many muslims in China [0], all over the country, with some communities dating back almost a thousand years as Islam reached China very early through the silk road and sea trade.

Examples of the 'ancient' presence of Islam in China include the Huaisheng Mosque in Guangzhou [1], and the Niujie Mosque in Beijing [2].

I think that always bringing up the muslim aspect, which in my view is not the main issue at all, is not innocent. Some muslim countries like Pakistan have extremely close ties with China and this may be a way to attempt to turn muslim countries against China.

We can do some quick estimates to compare (using a 3090 because I helped a friend do a bit of mining on theirs and I know what figures are plausible):

First some variables:

RTX3090 idle power usage = 21 Watts
RTX3090 mining power usage = 270 Watts
RTX3090 gaming power usage = 350 Watts

Mining energy usage:

270W \* 24H = 6.48 kWH per day

Gaming energy usage:

(low, 1 hour per day) 350W \* 1H + 21W \* 23H = 0.37 kWH per day
(med, 4 hours per day) 350W \* 4H + 21W \* 20H = 1.82 kWH per day
(hig, 8 hours per day) 350W \* 8H + 21W \* 16H = 3.14 kWH per day
(ext, 18 hours per day) 350W \* 18H + 21W \* 6H = 6.43 kWH per day

So even with someone who I'd consider a high volume gamer (8 hours per day) uses less than half the energy of running a miner for a day. You'd have to game for over 18 hours per day to use more energy than a miner. Of course both the gamer and the miner end up using a chunk of metal and plastic that will end up in a landfill so that bit counts the same.

Note: From what general figures I've seen online the energy works out roughly the same for the rest of the recent RTX series cards (some such as the 3060Ti work out a few % more favourable for mining as they are more energy efficient overall)
I’d like to think I have a 20-year Vision, but that inevitably changes :)

The De Forest “Wireless System Responder,” Ca. 1903
"This circa 1903 "spade" responder (or electrolytic detector) is one of the best examples of Lee de Forest's several costly attempts to work around Marconi's and Fessenden's patents. A variant of Fessenden's electrolytic detector, it uses a flat piece of platinum leaf sealed into glass instead of Fessenden's platinum wire. De Forest's detector soon became standard quipment in de Forest wireless stations as well as U.S. Navy receivers.

Fessenden successfuly sued de Forest, but by then de Forest had moved on to crystal detectors. Switches and/or knobs on top of the radio are labeled: Potentiometer, Battery, Shunt and Telephone. De Forest exhibited this apparatus as part of his display at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, along with a 300 foot high 'De Forest Wireless Telegraph Tower.'"
> the architect(s) must be egoless

Yeah, and 'the bird(s) must be wingless'. Whoever wrote this is not an architect, nor has ever met any real architects worthy of the label. Architects are driven by an overwhelming imperative to 'order' everything around them.

Also there is a reason we have "egoes". It's not a useless function of the psyche. The problem is with problematic egoes, fragile egoes, over-reaching egoes, etc. A strong, healthy, ego servers a respectable purpose.

Everybody considers themselves a designer, but it is baseless optimism that is supported by little data or precedent. Good designers are unique. Design ability is a 'talent'. Being able to conceive a complex system that maintains "conceptual integrity" is not an ability that everyone has, nor is it show (yet) that is even teachable!

Now an "egoless manager". That is a topic worth discussing. That species was never intended to take to the skies. /g (Bad managers let their egoes get in the way of actual talent, again and again. They should just manage the process and leave technical design for the architect. :-)

Also, yes it's true, you don't always need an architect. Most systems are an instance of a handful of widely repeated system patterns. What most teams need is a bit of maturity to distinguish and select the appropriate ready-made blueprint for their project. It is highly unlikely that your project requires a 'conceptual' breakthrough or innovation.
