Can anyone share some cool applications or bigger production systems built with sqlite? I love virtually everything I read about it, but I have never encountered a single use case where I am not better served by storing the data in some flat file (parquet, csv, etc.) and running a pandas program or simple Spark program to analyze it (locally on my laptop, or through a managed service like Dataproc or Databricks - it’s exceedingly cheap for any data size conceivably processable with sqlite).

I am asking sincerely, what is the comparative advantage of sqlite or some example scenarios or trade off circumstances where sqlite is a comparatively more effective solution?
I own a 03 Ram 2500 with a 5.9 Cummins engine. It has 250,000 miles and from the forums it can easy get to 1 million miles. There is no infotainment system to show the truck's age, distract you, or break from a bad solider joint. I've fixed everything myself on that truck from the transmission to the axle seals. The vehicle is actually increasing in value because it has a grand fathered in diesel engine. I have no idea why someone would buy a car with so many confusers (AVE for computer) that will only give you grief down the road (literally).
It’s disingenuous to factor in mining requirement for solar panels but not uranium.

Sure the supply chain to support the infrastructure required for 10 billion people is a lot on the environment, and we certainly could do a lot better. But these include better recycling of existing minerals (this includes solar panels), better forest management, better land use for food production, more careful road design that doesn’t fragment the wildlife, etc. And of course (most important of all) stop emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and stop warming the planet.

How much land solar and wind farms use seems kind of minuscule next to all these efforts. And given how urgent the climate disaster is, complaining about land use from solar farms seems like a distraction.

Given the timescale we have to react to and reverse the climate crisis the best technology that we have right now is wind and solar. We don’t have the technology nor infrastructure anywhere in the world to replace the fossil fuel plants with new nuclear plants in anywhere close to the timescale needed. Our best bet today is wind and solar (and geothermal and hydro where applicable) even with existing battery technology, it is still a better bet then new nuclear. This thread will tell you why.

The amazing thing is realizing that despite the increasing dangers and actual disasters involved, more and more things are going to be put on the Internet.

The equation everywhere is "the cost of the security is always too high because the failure of security is always an unusual situation and something that usually works and is cheaper will win in the marketplace."

Have we gone backwards.

Yes, expect more of this.
Weirdly I can somewhat answer this as I’ve just got into NiceHash since this Friday night, mainly as a learning experience more than a money making endeavour. I have a load of my own company PCs with GPUs like 1080s and 2070s we used to rent for VR usage at events that have basically been sitting in boxes, idle for the last 12 months due to COVID. No idea how I ended up down the mining rabbit hole on a Friday night, maybe a comment here...

Anyway, I now have six machines set up in my (previously... freezing cold garage), generating around £20 to £25 day total, after electricity costs. I’m on a metered power supply that is much cheaper at nighttime.

The benefits of NiceHash are:

- super simple set up. Literally an installer, it benchmarks the machine and gets to work in minutes. They have their own OS as well. That’s a rabbit hole for a few evenings this week to have some fun with.

- mobile app for monitoring all your rigs - temperatures, profitability, etc.

- pretty decent web front end for tracking progress, crypto prices, rig stats, etc.

- automatic switching between the most profitable algorithms in real-time. If the market are paying money for a specific currency/algo, it will swap to where the money can be made quickly and automatically without you needing to be involved.

- easy to disable specific algorithms that don’t work well. First day it kept jumping to KawPow, but for me this was really poor for profitability on my hardware, so it’s literally a click to disable that algorithm in their software.

I guess it just works, is largely set and forget, but offers lots of tweaking, monitoring for those with the desire to do that. Is it the most efficient or profitable? I’m starting to think not, but I’m still at the bottom of the curve for all of this, however, NiceHash has provided the perfect springboard into a new (to me) world.

BTW, I am fairly anti crypto in general. I’m kind of doing this as a learning experience while I have some free hours to burn each week on learning about something I feel I should know a lot more about while having a bit of fun in the process.
Remote unlock is the least of the problems here, the real issue is that cars have no business being connected to the vendors servers at all. This could have been entirely solved locally by pairing the car to one or more phones using BT/WiFi. How remote does it have to be, you don't really want to be able to start your car if you're not in WiFi range.
If Kia's don't have a local override using a key or fob (?) it's just a simple misapplication of technology. Even where you are would want to control locks from the internet, security concerns be damned, you need a high availability way to open the lock locally.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll see if I can rephrase adequately.

Human minds include something sometimes called “consciousness” or “self awareness” or a whole bunch of other phrases. This thing is poorly defined, and might even be many separate things which we happen to have all of. Call this thing or set of things Ξ, just to keep track of the fact I’m claiming it’s ill-defined and I’m not referring to any specific other word or any of the implicit other uses of those words — If I said “consciousness”, I don’t mean the opposite of “unconscious”, etc.

Because we don’t really know what Ξ is, we don’t know if anything we make has it, or not.

We know Ξ can be made because we are existence-proofs. We know evolution can lead to Ξ, for the same reason.

We don’t know the nature of the test we would need to say when Ξ is present in another mind. Do human foetuses have Ξ? Do dogs? Do mice? Do nematode worms? Perhaps Ξ is something you can have in degree, like height, or perhaps Ξ is a binary trait that some brains have and others simply don’t. Perhaps Ξ is only present in humans, and depends entirely on the low-level chemical behaviour of a specific neurotransmitter on a specific type of brain cell and where the current AI norm of simple weighted connections is a gross oversimplification, albeit one which if overlooked might result in external (but not internal) behaviour similar to a simulation which did include it. Or perhaps it is present in every information processing system from plants upwards (I doubt plants have Ξ, but cannot disprove it without a testable definition of Ξ).

The point is that we don’t know. Could go either way, given what little we know now.

The state of the art for brain science is way beyond me, of course, but every time I’ve asked someone in that field about this sort of topic, the response has been some variation of “nobody knows”.

IIRC the question in philosophy is “P-zombies”, but my grade in philosophy is nearly 20 years old and poor in any case.
> in general there aren't times where both sun and wind are low production across wide areas.

I'm sure those times aren't common, but we need to have some answer for when they do inevitably occur. The recent Texas freeze was a once-in-a-century event and I don't think many consider that acceptable (and I would think that the no-sun / no-wind scenarios are more frequent than once-in-a-century). I'm sure someone has researched the amount of storage necessary, but the numbers I've heard from articles and podcasts tend to be in the days-weeks range--much longer than 4 hours.
I really hate the fact that it would have been so much cheaper for them to have just quietly paid the $20 million from the outset.
I'm assuming by "using the window manager in Linux" you mean you can manually put windows always-on-top.

Three reasons this is different:
1. The window is actually not on top of every window - it's only top of your browser. It's "attached" to your browser window, same way a real PiP would.
2. It's less clicks and also positions the window automatically for you.
3. It's cross platform. Windows doesn't have an easy user-accessible way to enable always-on-top.

The fact that they created a new chain diminishes one of the main characteristics of a blockchain. That it can't be altered.

This has always been my biggest sticking point with cryptocurrencies. It doesn't take into account that sometimes you need to fix a mistake.

Cryptos also have a usability problem. If you forget your login credentials you lose access to your account. If you forgot your credentials at a regular bank, they have multiple avenues for figuring out if you are who you say you are. Eg post etc.

> What do you do if you have to shut down the nuclear power plant in bad weather for some reason?

You don’t. If your plant is properly designed, you’re absolutely immune to any extreme weather conditions.

Heck, we have nuclear-powered vehicles sent beyond our galaxy and they’re still working.

Nuclear power is literally the only form of energy we have that can work under virtually all environmental conditions.

Nuclear fission works even in vacuum.
Precisely. Housecats kill more birds than wind turbines, but a pigeon is not an eagle, owl, hawk, or other large predatory birds. Might as well start talking about insects is we're lumping flying animals all together.
> All that energy all this time just not having enough demand to justify harnessing, till now.

There was demand for that power. The dams were always running at full utilization. Most of that demand was simply outside the local area and the electricity was being exported. As stated by the article itself in the quote I just gave you (80% of the 3000 megawatts were exported). Those exports lead to reduced fossil fuel usage elsewhere because they allow other people to shut down fossil fuel plants. And the article directly states that now exports are going to have to be reduced now that miners are using that power. Which means in other parts of the country they are going to have to spin up new power plants (or extend the lifetime of fossil fuel plants).

The reason why you got confused over the 200 megawatts thing is because that's only one of three local utilities drawing power from the dams. Presumably all three of those added together consume ~600 megawatts, (20% of the total power available).

Yes but the article is not about crises and disasters... it's about people sharing their work with the world, and the observation that it's much easier to comment and criticize on something without knowing the difficulties in building or creating it than it is to actually set off and attempt to build the thing. What I got from the article was that if you have actually given it a shot your feedback is more valuable and you probably ought comment because you'll have something to say that will help the builder. Maybe we are looking at different uses of the term "comment." Yes, naturally anything anyone says in response or as a reaction is a "comment," but I think the author was coming from a place of sharing one's work on the internet, he pretty much said as much in the article.
Note that a mouse does not need to solve the problem from scratch like a computer does. They are born with a general solution to the problem of movement in their brain, which has been arrived at by evolution.

To replicate this, you can't expect to get away with only replicating the complexity of the mouse. You potentially need a computer with as much complexity as the evolutionary algorithm which led to the mouse's movement algorithm.
That’s some high class mental gymnastics though. Because if you divide the energy spent across the number of transactions you land back where you started. And if the energy was burned for 0 transaction capacity then the underlying would be worthless. Secure but worthless. So it doesn’t take much inference to realize that the value is in transactbility.

You’ll have to explain to me why when mining a block of transactions, it doesn’t make sense to break that down on a per transaction basis with division.

If the number of transactions in a block ever changes I’ll change my divisor. Until then the proof is on you isn’t it?
Ah, that is correct. I guess I didn't realize that. I've used it since it was a free project. I'll update my post accordingly
I wonder if there are any car manufacturers boasting a 'dumb car' lineup. The current trend is pretty worrying. And sadly, it seems to get even worse with EVs. For some reason car manufacturers seem to want to market their EVs as 'smart-cars'. Which I find cringe worthy.
The sociologist in me suspects that scoring systems are popular because they instrumentalize interaction in a sufficiently ambiguous way to do work for many audiences. It's really useful that comment scores have vague relationships to a lot of socially important qualities (interest / sentiment / etc). I 'use' changes in my HN karma as a cue that someone is interacting with one of my comments. For me the karma system could be totally replaced by reply notifications - but others might use it differently.

Keeping the score system basic leaves each person to have whatever thoughts they want about their karma without the website telling them how to feel. There's a dark pattern aspect to this where web sites can foster unhealthy levels of interaction while saying that's not what they intended. There's also an emergent behavior side where scoring systems are used in ways the makers can't predict.
This is not how Nano works. You need to compromise 51% of the online voting weight. There is also no splits in the network. Once a transaction has been confirmed it is final.
There’s some cognitive bias in which we assume that when we regard some information as important, that anyone exposed to that information will fully absorb it.

The reality is - while learning how to communicate well is hard, actually getting anyone to listen is many times harder.

I used to joke that in any meeting with more than 4 people, at any given time at least 1 person is day dreaming.

And since mobile phones and social media all this has got many times harder; attention spans are shorter and there’s a higher expectation that information should be somehow entertaining.

These days communicating something simple like an important date to 10+ people inside a company requires multi level marketing; email, calendar invite, Slack, face to face time ... use it all and still one of the 10 will somehow miss the message.

It's impossible for a website to be crashproof because they can't control OS or browser bugs (of which iOS has many). Safari has never neen stable for me on any device.
Interesting! I've done something _very roughly_ similar over the past weeks (https://twitter.com/jlengrand/status/1362319916649578499). I would go and say that putting calendar only is probably too static info as displayed on the website (it'll change only once a day).

> despite that Facebook usage and engagement grows every quarter

How much of that growth is through aquisition though? Facebook was losing photo sharing, so they bought instagram, they were losing messaging, so they bought WhatsApp.

Its all well and good to say Facebook has value, and thats because they are using a behemoth (almost, but not quite monopolistic) position to squeeze competitors.

Take Facebook Marketplace, it has a huge number of posts that probably equals Craiglists - and they did that because they already captured peoples attentions. And they'll do it with their next product - hell they are still pushing their Portal picture frame on people.
Don’t ask for a shorter term, instead ask for a break clause to be added on the 3rd month that can be exercised for any reason.

They still have a 12 month contract, but you know you can walk away with 30 days notice in month 3 if implementation is poor.

That’s meeting in the middle and usually accepted by most businesses if you push.

If they say they risk not making a profit if you leave, offer to pay a setup fee that is entirely refunded if you stay past the 3rd month.

It means you’ll lose some more money if the implementation goes bad, but not as much as the whole 12 month term.

> biased to what people perceive as intelligence rather than intelligence itself

this statement is only reifying the presupposition that "intelligence" as a property of the universe, any more than something such as "crime" or "mental illness" is a fundamental property and not emergent from culture values and norms.

the reason why "AI conservatives" keep moving the goalposts is because it is a myth in the collective consciousness of people who believe that intelligence is fundamentally not something a silicon substrate machine could possess.

i think breaking out of the dichotomy of intelligent or unintelligent is necessary for the discussion. a "human level intelligence" is not real, so whatever does "human level intelligence" things is human level intelligence. if it quacks like a duck... it even may be imbued with "subjectivity" if you ask me.
Nuclear is the largest source of emission-free electricity in the US and it’s the only one that can be built at scale.
I think quite the opposite: the vast difference between living beings' ability to learm how to exist in their environment (including other living beings and sometimes social structures) and the very limited successes of even modern AI still show that we are very far away from AGI.

We couldn't create an ant AI right now, imagining we are pretty close to a human is pretty absurd.

And if we're taking about intelligence, human exceptionalism is hard to argue against (in the context of Earth, no point in speculating about alien life). There are pretty few creatures on earth trying to build AIs, and I for one would not consider something to be an AGI if it couldn't even understand the concept.
That's already done. The point is that it takes time, and there are always more of them, so at any point in time there are likely to be a handful of them still in-process of moving upstream.
I would wager that this is by design - if you stop making payments on your car, they basically have lojack built in that would help them repossess it. That's why they make it nearly impossible to disable.
Good idea. Also the matting.

But I think people are right: The frame is quite big. I'd love to get the size down.
> I sold my $1000 in bitcoin as it was proving a distraction. I was constantly checking it's value.

One more reason to HODL. Buy some bitcoins, forget that they exist, check the situation 10 years later... either bitcoin doesn't exist anymore (more likely), or you are a millionaire (less likely, but the chances are better than in lottery).

My colleagues are watching bitcoin prices all the time... most of them don't even own any! I bought some, and they were like "hey, did you notice the price went up, are you happy?" or "hey, did you notice the price went down, are you sad?" every day. I told them "guys, please do not talk to me about bitcoins; I am going to check their price in 2030, and until then, I don't care".

I have an approximate idea of where the bitcoin is now, because seeing the headlines on HN, it is hard to avoid the information. But I don't know what happened yesterday, or during the last week. I could check the current price in 5 seconds... but I won't, because emotionally I just don't care. Instead I will submit this comment, and then try to forget that bitcoin exists.

(And this is not specific to bitcoins; I would do exactly the same thing with gold or stock market. Unless active trading is my job, which it is not, I do not need the daily numbers.)

I wonder why this is so emotionally easy for me, and many other people seemingly can't do it. It's not like I don't need money. I don't even feel particularly stoic. It is suspiciously similar to learned helplessness. Maybe I just focus my attention elsewhere... like writing comments on HN.
Perhaps one should think about why people put IP addresses in there in the first place --- because in an overwhelmingly large number of usages, an IP is perfectly acceptable instead of a domain name (while a domain name is not always acceptable instead of an IP.) In that sense, RFC 1035 is an aberration.
