You assume that hotels will have power.

You assume that the hotels won’t also be charging market rates of thousands of dollars per day.

You assume that any of these such mythical hotels that have power, and are open, and aren’t charging thousands of dollars a night, will actually have any vacancy that you can fill

All these assumptions were recently proven false down here in Austin.

I think the following things are facts:

1. Gebru said "do this or I'll resign"

2. Google said "okay, we accept your resignation with immediate effect"

3. Under California law this is considered a firing, not a resignation (at least according to the discussion elsewhere in this thread).

Does this mean that Google lied when they said she resigned? I don't think so. Facts 1 and 2 are sufficient to establish that she "resigned" by anyone's typical understanding of the term. Fact #3 strikes me as little more than a legal technicality. She might not have "resigned" from a legal pov but we don't have to restrict our understanding of that word to the precise semantics of California employment law - just like it might be truthful to say that someone (OJ?) is "guilty" of a crime even if a California court deemed them to be "not guilty".
If you're making a backup ecosystem, you want it off planet in case the primary meets a nuke, asteroid, virus, etc. You could also park it in a stable solar orbit so it gets the right sun for its biostuff.

Personally I feel like in many ways OSS got its shit together here over the past decade or so, especially when it comes to default directories and naming conventions etc., so maybe traditional distros might want to reconsider adding so many patches for everything. Its especially bad if it's security patches for unmaintained software, as they are often incomplete, different distros all come up with their own patches whenever someone stumbles upon the bug, because why talk to others and try to prevent duplicate work...

No one is ignoring you got a dud machine. The problem is that contrary to all the evidence posted otherwise, you keep insisting all m1 Macs have your issues. They do not. The many many reviews and other m1 users show that your experience is not normal (cmd-shift-4 is instant on every Mac I've ever used, including the m1).

The day 1 boot issue is fixed if you have applied any update since then. You never responded if you took your machine to Apple and see what their hardware diagnostic tool said. But, it's clear you're angry you got a dud machine, and instead of replacing you want to complain. That's fine.

A coworker, about 15 years ago, was telling me about bringing out some old VHS tapes for his kids. They were absolutely amazed at one particular feature: you could put the tape in and it would be at exactly where you left off! This was a great advancement, in their minds, compared to DVD/BluRay that always started at the beginning.

I suppose that time has passed though. My own kid knows basically nothing but streaming (which also has that feature). We still have a BluRay player hooked up but I bet it's been used less than 5 times in the past half decade.

Ironically, there's a bin full of old VHS in the basement somewhere, but I'm pretty sure we don't even have a player anymore. It would be fun to see the reaction though.
I am happy with this kind of heavy handed move for once if this is intended to reduce demand for graphics products for their other uses and make them available for people who intend to use them for work and gaming.

Maybe I will finally be able to afford top of the line GPU.

I mean, bitcoin miners can still pay high prices if they want but finally there will be GPU that will not be encumbered by mining craze.
I wished people understood how Tether works. Bitcoin is up 6X this year , 600%. Many exchanges use Tether to onboard clients and that is why Tether is printed.

Tldr; Tether gets printed whenever Bitcoin demand goes up and that's in their whitepaper.

For downvoters: You are downvoting facts and truth, quite far from your scientific beliefs. Just read the actual whitepaper and then come and downvote. Don't repeat what you read or heard or think is obvious, obviously.
Sorry if it was a bad assumption. I just can’t square the two points you’re making. You say we can still have a space program but funding should be less? As in less than one half of one percent is too much? You may not realize it but the there are multiple directorates within NASA and only one is primarily focused on gateway (the human exploration directorate). So it’s a fraction of a fraction of a percent that goes to that. The rest of the money goes to other directorates that have priorities that may align more with your priorities. For example, the aeronautics research directorate performs fundamental research in areas that can decrease greenhouse gas emissions from air travel. The Earth science directorate is heavily focused on climate change. If you look at what is actually left over for exploration, to an extent it’s in agreement with your stance that it’s not really a priority compared with the percentage of GDP spent during the space race when it was a national priority. By only giving a pittance of GDP to exploration when it used to be orders of magnitude higher, we’re saying exploration is no longer a priority.

I think the people who claim otherwise might benefit from looking at the actual relative funding.

It's funny to know this is a dream theme that others have. It's not the only recurring nightmare theme I have but it's a major one. You're right that it's just that I forgot to attend or something, like I just totally forgot I was enrolled for the course.

In my case, there's some real-life precedent for it. I enrolled in one course in undergrad, and dropped it right away my first week or so for some reason I don't recall. Toward the end of the semester, before finals, I found I was still enrolled, but had never set foot in the classroom or anything.

I was sort of panicked, but went and talked to the professor, and he was fine with it. He basically verified that I never did anything with the class and it was somehow deleted from my record completely.

I still don't know why it wasn't dropped in the first week, although this was before electronic registration systems.

Base load power is unnecessary.

The only type of power that's required is dispatchable power. If you have enough dispatchable power to meet peak demands you don't need anything else. For example, the northern towns served by a diesel generator. Other types of power are optional, but should be thrown into the mix for cost, reliability or environmental reasons.

You've got it half right, the term "exciting" is being used for "exotic" or "novel" (and note that these are subjective: they depend on the history of the speaker) while "boring" means something more like "reliable" or "low-maintenance" (which is much less subjective and can be more-or-less measured and quantified in hard data.)

In any event, the crux of the issue is how your tech handles failures. A new-fangled exotic technology that works really well is "boring". Case in point: Elm lang. Very exotic, totally boring.
Losing your soul to acquire something less valuable defeats the point of acquiring the inferior good in the first place. Every sin, every immoral act, is such an act of self-betrayal and spiritual self-mutilation. It is an act that is so profoundly nonsensical, stupid, and absurd that it boggles the mind. But given what we might call the human condition, the moral life is made difficult, especially because we have a tendency to rebel against the truth and because we are cowards. But it is the only road to true happiness.

So here's your city of gold and your garden of delights, but only if you desecrate and destroy yourself, cripple your mind, poison your heart, and blind yourself first. Oh, and here's the cherry on top: when you lay in your self-made gutter, let all these riches taste to you like ash.

> Distro package managers implicitly pin versions too - at distribution granularity - updated randomly by a bunch of strangers downstream with limited testing. The result is incredibly poor.

I think that points needs to be made more often.

People focus a lot on active decisions that have the potential to introduce security vulnerabilities, but they underestimate how similar problems may exist in the status quo.

Having a single, only-one-canonical version dependency system is a recipe for package managers that update slowly because any dependency change may break an unrelated package.

Frankly, being able to say "just install every dependency and be done with it" and have Cargo/npm/etc handle all the conflicts implicitly is a huge time-saver. I think people underestimate how valuable that saved time is, both in terms of adding features and maintaining security.
Princeton did a study, and found to get to net zero by 2050, the US could do it with only renewables (the "E+ RE+" scenario). To accomplish that:

> Cumulative total wind and solar farm area in E+ RE+ by 2050 is ~1 million km^2, or roughly an area the size of AK, IA, KS, MO, NE, OK, and WV combined (with an additional 64,000 km^2 of offshore wind); directly impacted lands total 70,000 km^2, an area larger than WV.

* PDF: https://environmenthalfcentury.princeton.edu/sites/g/files/t...

* https://environmenthalfcentury.princeton.edu

Most of it taken up by wind farms (94%)

Transmission lines would have to expanded as well: in 2020, there is ~320,000 GW-km of capacity, and so by 2050 ~1,702,000 GW-km (5.3x) would be needed. They estimated it would cost US$ 3,710B (3.7T), though amortized over the next thirty years.

E+RE+ assumes that renewables can be constructed/grow at a rate of 10%/year. They have a E+RE- scenario which growth is limited to what was achieved already, and that scenario needs some nuclear to get to net zero.

Of course net zero may be "too much", and we can achieve good climate goals with modest releases of carbon/GHGs.
Sure, though I would emphasize the role of habitus. What you are willing to endure is not fixed.
How does it compare with other types of mining, such as coal mining, uranium mining, or the Alberta tar sands?

> That's a great cherry-picked example

I consider it reasoning from the limit case - obviously the existence of a market is not sufficient to prove that society has decided it is good, as the counter-example of the market in murder shows. Nothing more behind that statement and I think that markets are often a powerful tool.

> What moral framework do you suggest that we inflict upon all of humanity?

You can't escape "inflicting" a moral stance on the world. In the hypothetical world where the one has $200 billion and the remainder have $1, perhaps the government is not "arbitrating standards of morality", but if they make it illegal for the 7 billion to steal from the one person who has $200 billion, they are taking an ethical stance and "inflicting" it on the rest of the world.

We're a socially cooperative species - obviously we need a way to govern the form of those interactions, even in order to have a functioning market in things.
I wonder if Google has a backdoor API which lets group people by backup email. If one always creates an account with the previous email as a backup, the link is east to make.

That would be especially useful for censorship services across competitors: Although Google Facebook and Twitter compete, sharing the flagged accounts would allow recognizing the same user coming back with a different email address.

I agree with that. :-)

Swift did of course have bridging to Objective-C and the preexisting Objective-C API. I find it strange to equate language bridging with announcing a full system API — an API originally announced around the turn of the century (can't believe I'm using that phrase now). Cocoa-Java, which no longer exists, also had such bridging, as does PyObjC and MacRuby/RubyCocoa. Still, most of the system API to this day are written by Apple in Objective-C.

I’m truly shocked by the number of people who totally fail to grok the economic logic behind a lot of the projects being built on blockchain tech. Many dismiss such work as totally worthless.

I suspect such dismissive types lack the combination of deep technical ability and profound economic intuition that made the Collison brothers wealthy. Or maybe it’s just that they don’t care to think these things through. Like PG says in his exploration of the aphorism “a word to the wise is sufficient:” “Understanding all the implications — even the inconvenient implications — of what someone tells you is a subset of resourcefulness. It's conversational resourcefulness.”

With the following difference:

- the art of engineering financial complications
- the art of running when the weather turns bad
- a vague, unaudited promise of USD reserves.

When someone has something to share, platforms make sharing easier than a website. YouTube, Medium, Substack, Twitter, Facebook, etc. remove virtually all the dull chores that a website requires. Moreover, they facilitate clearing the biggest hurdle — discovery. I mean I could have read your question and written about it on a WordPress backed blog...but you probably wouldn’t be reading this sentence now. Or ever.

A dedicated website is either a business proposition or a labor of love where a nontrivial fraction of the love is committed to the idea of a website at the expense of time devoted to the subject of the website. People have websites in part to honestly say “I have a website.”

And from that having of a website, there comes motivation to create content. But if the big motivation is making content, then a website is only one possible option and among less efficient ones.

In finance, no one complains about flawed schemes as long as everyone thinks they’re making money.

Enron was thought to be a market master until it fell apart.

Bernie Madoff’s clients were happy with their returns until the fraud was exposed.

The only difference in the cryptocurrency world is that a lot of the players have a suspicion that some parts of the system are powered by fraud, but they either wave it away (buyer beware / I can buy the dip if the market crashes) or they think they can get their money out before it really crashes down.
> Isn't the point of nuclear to provide power when it's not sunny as a cheaper alternative to storage in batteries? If so then what's the purpose of comparing the cost of solar and nuclear as if they're directly competing for the same use case?

Apologies - I misunderstood the intent of what you wrote. For testing would it not be possible to use modelling instead?

E.g. in the way that you might fire drill recovery from a nuclear reactor instability without first melting part of the core.

Or how you might test a martian lunar rover before sending it off to Mars.

Even if modelling the entire system wasn’t possible with sufficient fidelity, why couldn’t you replicate the system in a geographic environment with the requisite conditions?
So I want a 3080... I assume this means it will be even harder to buy?
It isn't trustless. If it's finance, it's trust based at the very core. Somebody is trusting somebody else to recognize the value up for offer, and being capable of converting it to a utilizable form.

This is what crypto-enthusiasts must be blind to. We could be using bottlecaps to do the same bloody thing. Nobody wants to though. Why? Because nobody else takes the value assertion of a bottle cap seriously. As long as people keep buying into the hype, and the enthusiasm is kept up through selective refusal to accept the realities and externalities of the process, then the gravy train continues.

This is a mostly acceptable attempt at laying out lots of information related to the subject at hand, but I found it to be poorly researched, inaccurate in some places and missing a lot of info in others. It's a good enough jumping off point, however.
