There was an excellent discussion about this last night in CH. The takeaway was that because solar is now the cheapest source of electricity, miners are flocking to it.

An estimated 30% of the BTC network is running on solar.
It’s not perfect, but as long as the most ecologically friendly electricity is the cheapest, I feel like miners will drive straight for it at record speed.

I think 'embarrassing' is too strong a word. AAA game development is rushed; the pressure is to ship. Something has to give. This is a user facing issue, but one that doesn't actually affect the gameplay. Assuming they had -time- to profile the load process, given that low a priority, seems extremely optimistic.
I'm not arguing that C is the ultimate programming language for maximum performance or anything like that. Simply that it gives you a lot more freedom to tune your implementation where it matters for performance.

For HPC, you'd likely be better with something designed to run on GPUs, with built-in primitives for matrix operations, and a compiler that can tune the way those operations get implemented for you.

However, when it comes to cache locality, if the C programmer knows what they are doing, I think you'll have a very hard time beating them with Haskell or ML. AFAIK those languages have the same pointer-chasing issues I've described earlier. If you need to design a complex data structure, for example a scene graph in a 3D game engine, it will be much easier to make it compact in C.

Requiring a contractor isn't a big ask. All it takes is not knowing someone who has networking chops. I work regularly with around 10 mining operations, 8 of them explicitly relocated to get on hydro because of how inexpensive it is. These guys care deeply about getting the most kWh for their money, because they still have to deal with turning a profit, and anyone who doesn't understand that has not actually dealt with real Bitcoin mining operations.

The space shuttle landed aerodynamically.

The article is undermined by its arbitrary focus on crypto. The premise is that crypto mining drives consumption for power, and power production results in "health and climate damage". Are we going to police consumers of power now? Will we invest our time and energy in determining the "good" and "bad" consumers of power. Or are we going to invest our time and resources in building out a sustainable, clean, and efficient power production infrastructure to replace the ancient one we have?

FWIW, the Elric books are also unavailable in the US, for some reason--I had to use some trickery to make Kobo think I was a UK citizen for a bit, which then allowed me to buy the books from their UK store.

> or do you claim that miners choose to use power in more expensive locations?

Both scenarios are very plausible, because if everyone within the market was perfectly efficient in choosing to use the cheapest power sources available, and if hydro was clearly the cheapest way to generate power, then it wouldn't just be being used for Bitcoin, it would be being used for every single portable, power-intensive task in general. We wouldn't be having a conversation about the environment in nearly any manufacturing field.

Given that this isn't happening, given that some things in the world still use coal power, and given that people are still worried about the environmnetal impacts of energy use in general, even though hydro exists -- the obvious conclusion is one of the following:

A) hydro isn't universally the cheapest power source.

B) there are other factors that determine where people will set up operations (taxes, living situation and preferred environment, costs beyond power generation, market saturation to the point that its still profitable to use expensive sources of power).

C) there are still environmental impacts of using a ton of power, even if it came from hydro, and hydro power doesn't just have zero environmental impact.

But obviously something is going on here, because bitcoin isn't special. If hydro power was the savior of power generation, then every single factory in the world would already be using it. But they're not, and it's reasonable to assume that the same market constraints and environmental situations also apply to bitcoin mining.

The fact that we are having an energy debate at all about any industry implies that something about the energy market, it's pricing, and its environmental impacts is more complicated than you're making it sound.
Yes, they are astroturfing and socially manipulating false narratives as per usual with this site towards Bitcoin sentiment. There's no true discourse, as you'll notice anything said freely or positively about Bitcoin instantly is downvoted away. Oh yay, but let's pedantically talk for months on end about the beauty of ReactJS and Node bullshit. YAY.

And obviously the key take away from this statement I've made is that things get downvoted here for simply being in disagreement with folks who have the weight to downvote. They are not being downvoted due to in any way being against rules.
It's one tool of many. Microsoft used it to catch an error in the design of the memory controller in the XBox360 before launch. They also use it in the design of the consistency levels in CosmosDB which are tied directly to their SLAs. Hardware has a high turn-around time between iterations so being able to understand the design more clearly and catch errors earlier is a great investment.

> It’s very sad, but it’s the only option I had because I have a ton of other code to write too for this app and cannot afford to spend the time to even make a binary format for this data.

You should look into Flatbuffers (https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/flatbuffers_guide_use_s...). It's a tool that can generate an API for reading/writing binary data based on a schema file where you design the layout (similar to protocol buffers). The data is ready to read, so you don't have to do any parsing at all, AND the compiler includes a feature to convert JSON files into binary that matches your given schema.

It won't solve your compiler woes, but it will help you avoid having to store and parse JSON, and it's a tiny dependency.
Oh my god! Thanks for digging out
The article seems to use the country average emissions per kWh for the US and China (it's hard to tell because the first reference is a 404, the other is 400+ pages, the final one is definitely country average numbers).

A cursory Google search says the percentage of renewable energy in the US and China is ~11% and ~23% respectively. The disparity between that and an average of 39% for crypto mining specifically does not seem to be factored in.
This is one of my projects using OpenAI's CLIP model to do interesting things. So the big credit goes to them!

I processed 2M images from the Unsplash dataset with CLIP and stored the feature vector representation of each photo (a 512 element vector). You can now encode a text query with CLIP in the same latent space and search the database.

I also tried doing some simple arithmetic with the feature vectors to combine the result of a search query and a photo. You can for example search for "Sydney Opera house" and give it a bight photo and you will get a photo of the Sydney Opera at night.

> Jet A-1 fuel is sent to Troll once a year in 200 liter barrels aboard the re-supply ship that docks at the edge of the ice shelf about mid-summer season. All of the supplies, including the fuel, are then taken via tracked vehicles and sledges on a 250 km journey back to the station. That long journey from Denmark helps explain why fuel is so expensive at Troll.

The Norwegian polar institute buys its jet fuel from Denmark?! I knew they are supposed to be close buddies, but that was a surprise.

Sometimes you can prove that values will remain integer when iterating over array indices for example. However, in the general case, when doing integer additions or multiplications, they need to insert dynamic integer overflow check instructions everywhere. When the integers would overflow they have to be converted to floating-point values.

If you think about this for a second. Suppose I have a loop where I'm multiplying values:

function foo(x, y, n)
{
for (var i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
x = x * y;
}

return x;

}

In order to know that the multiplication won't overflow, you have to be able to prove that both x and y, coming into that function, will be integers. You also have to have information about the range of x, y and i. If you know that x>=0 and y>= but you don't know how many times the loop will execute at compile time, you are basically screwed. You could unroll the loop to reduce the number of dynamic checks you need, but then that increases your code size. So you mostly have to check that the multiplication doesn't overflow on every iteration. You may also have to do dynamic type checks if you can't prove that x,y,i will always be integers.

> By some definitions, wilderness encompasses nearly the entire continent, but these researchers used a more restrictive definition—only areas that have never been touched by people. Using a data set of historical and contemporary human activity, they discovered that most of the continent had been disturbed in some way, by scientific research, infrastructure, or tourism. Only about a third still has large areas with no records of human presence, Leihy, one of the researchers, told us.

By that extreme definition of wilderness there isn't much on this planet, and I've never been in or near any. It may be a fine definition for the purposes of the study, but in a headline it becomes click bait.

I think its easy to get too hung up on particular definitions, you're free to define the reals to be the isomophism class of Dedekind-complete ordered fields if you like, I'm free to define the reals by some construction (Cauchy sequences, Dedekind cuts or whatever). As long as the chosen definitions are isomorphic it doesn't matter at all.

In general in a field I have addition and a multiplicative identity 1, as well as the distributive property, which means that for all elements x satisfying x = 1 + 1 + .... 1 for some number of ones I can write a.x = a.(1 + 1 + .... 1) = a + a + .... a, so there is always a subset for which multiplication works like repeated addition.
I've found many positions advertised as say, "Python engineer" end up being more that you are expected to be willing to work with Python, not that you are already a Python expert. Of course this isn't always the case, but in my last 4 or so years of semi-actively interviewing for a new job, I've found this to be the majority.

Also, even if they do require you to be a Python-specific expert, I don't find this requirement any more abhorrent than a company that expects you to be an leetcode expert, especially for a position that is minimally algorithmic.
Which might be a good reason why not every single Bitcoin miner is using hydro. If the expected payoff of mining is big enough to outweigh the increased prices of GPUs and nonrenewable energy, then I might choose not to move my setup to be next to a dam.

The same market effects that apply to factories, research facilities, server farms, etc... also apply to cryptocurrency mining. We can't have our cake and eat it too -- if energy isn't fungible, then not every mining rig is going to be set up using the most efficient power source in the world. Not every miner is going to have the ability to just "choose" to use cheap renewable power, and if mining is still profitable where they are using the power sources available to them, then they're still going to do it.
Agreed. I've seen people use assigned (RIR) but not announced (BGP) IP space for years in various ways. Squatting on 11/8 is common to the uneducated.

Interesting analysis, but I think you are discounting the number of people in each of these groups. Percentage basis, yes, the rich and poor will have more children. But both groups are not the 80% of the middle (using your 10% cutoffs on either end).

So I don't think children from the non-rich and non-poor society are going to be aliens in the world anytime soon. Sadly though, fewer will know life with siblings. To meet groups of siblings, you'll find more rich and poor - but only at their birth. Any number of those will change positions in society in any direction.
