I think they might be referring to the power used by the chip, which is indeed comparable to entry-level chips.

The thought is that if it runs this fast right now, imagine what it’ll be like when you put a big heat sink and fan on it and let it use 100w or something, on a Mac Pro. And more - this is a first generation product. Imagine what the second generation will be like.

I think people are just excited for the possibilities. We’ll see how it all turns out, but it really does seem promising.
It's very pretty. Congratulations on your purchase and all that ... but my whole body noticeably recoiled when I looked at it. I felt instant anticipation of knocked knees, and the stiff and precise manner in which I would need to comport myself around it so as not to cause damage to it, or me.

Moving forward, slowly but steadily. Vitalik been hinting that the work to get of PoW might speed up now, as PoW miners are not too happy about some proposed changes (they'll earn less fees soon, and in the future they will be unnecessary at all).

So, things take time. Who knew building a global decentralized computer for everyone was hard work, gonna be difficult and take long time?

(Side-note: no one has said that ETH 2.0 is "really soon now", at least not anyone who either works on it or watches the development closely. ETH 2.0 has been far away for a long time, and it's still not close to being deployed, so you might want to look for better sources for your information)
When the tezos blockchain is used for NFTs then there is no PoW involved. The footprint would shrink dramatically. For me it is unreasonable to not mention a already existing infrastructure in an article like this.

I recently implemented Conway's Game of Life in Agda. I still had to write "test cases" to get the whole thing right:
https://github.com/fzipp/agda-life/blob/18dda7f45541d2e8f47c...

Sure, they are validated at compile time because they are propositions as types, but in the end they are still basically test cases: expected output for a given input, and the compiler is the test runner.

I don't know how to encode the full "Game of Life" property as dependent types, I am still an Agda newbie.

The Local Void that we are on one edge of is about 150 Mpc across (~490 million light years) and contains several "void galaxies" such as NGC 6503, about 4 Mpc (17 Mly) from us:

OTH the ban the plastic straws is silly. But I do think it's better than norms keep people in check rather than formal regulation.
It's just that norms should not be meme based.
There's a better option yet.
My impression is that the whole 'contemporary art market' is a nexus of the rich and a very small group of people that decide "good art".. at best it's speculative investment and at worst a front for money laundering..

UBI is meant to replace government safety nets. It's meant for survival, not for education healthcare and all those other things you mentioned.

>How does handing someone $5 increase the intrinsic value of any good?

You should go back and re-read what I wrote. Might be beneficial to check out an econ 101 book so you kind of understand deflation as well as inflation, and just generally how the value of money works.
Surely they just need to make the net a bit bigger?
Yea, my own mental picture of homology and cohomology tends to default to DeRham (co)homology or the axiomatic approach versus the combinatorial approaches that are normally taught (I'm also bad at combinatorics).

I'm going to be hand wavey here, but in DeRham, the "boundary" operator is basically just the derivative. So the DeRham homology of a manifold (the ker/im) are the functions that differentiate to zero (locally constant functions) / functions that can be integrated (eg functions that are the derivative of some function). You get left the functions that are "interesting" and define the geometry of the manifold in some way. Since manifolds are patched together pieces of Euclidean space, locally constant functions don't need to be globally constant which is why the quotient operation isn't trivially zero. If you've never seen quotient rings/groups/topologies before though, I can see how ker/im would be a major trip-up no matter the homology domain.

The crazy part of algebraic topology (to me) is that all these homology theories are isomorphic. The DeRham homology and the simplicial homology give you the same homology group despite not having much to do with each other at first glance. (Stoke's theorem provides the isomorphism).
The first draft of any new product will be totally fine with just one Linux box.

Why?

Because the first draft has no users.

Once you have some paying users, yes - figure out what service guarantees those users want or need and put some effort into meeting them.

But, prior to having users, anything but pretty minimal infrastructure is waste.
UBI is a social safety net, the goal is for it to replace those other social safety net programs.
It was the "modulo" I had trouble with (the idea of quotient spaces). I understood well how kernels corresponded to cycles (people on IRC made me do lots of calculations with chain complexes both in Z/2 and R), and had some idea of groups (or, at least, of when something is a semigroup and not a group...) but didn't have an internal feeling of what quotient groups were.

> Based on the name I'm going to assume that the class is used on container for a layout with cards on the left.

That's funny my intention was to name a wrapper around a container inside of card that is usually used on the left side. But of course we had different contexts in mind and a lot of these issues can be sorted out by coding conventions.

The thing is I was never able to wrap my head around the whole separation of concerns thing, when it comes to HTML, CSS and JS. I think that is because I come from a mobile dev background where we always had some kind of markup (or just plain code) which described the elements and how they looked. The structure of the UI and the styling were always co-located.

Coming to the web I was very confused of why you would want to separate both of them. And in my opinion we can see that change not only in TailwindCSS, Tachyon or ChakraUI but also in component based JS frameworks as well. Everything is about colocation these days, which makes it much easier to reason about what is going on in this small, little, pocket of code in my application.

I like that change. :)
I played ice hockey goalie growing up, in high school, intramurals in college, and then men's league for a while. The game definitely changed over the course of me playing it. I started playing goalie around 1991 and fondly remember having to do "kick save" drills and learning to "T glide". The game has changed, no goalies do kick saves anymore, it's just not an effective way to stop the puck.

But to say that goalies today aren't acrobatic or fit or flexible or amazing athletes is totally wrong. To be able to put your body into the butterfly position, to be able to push off to move while staying in the butterfly, to be able to slide post to post as the puck moves behind the net and keep the post-side leg upright: THIS IS EXTREMELY HARD!

Goalies today are basically 6 foot+ tall gymnasts.

My knees, groin, and hips surely can no longer perform the kinds of movements which I used to be able to do. I was not anywhere near being NHL caliber, so maybe I have a different appreciation for watching top level goalies today. But damn, these goalies today are seriously impressive in how they can move their bodies.

Sure, the equipment regulations might need to change for bantam or midget level leagues and up, but the younger kids aren't big enough to take advantage of the equipment so any changes the NHL wants to implement shouldn't affect the vast majority of kids playing the game today until (if) they get to a high level of play and high school age or beyond.

I think the NHL should continue to change the rules, not just for goalies, but for the whole game. And if things work, then other leagues should adopt those rules over time, too.

> While dairy is not strictly necessary for grown ups, I recognise that it will be present for some time so we should care about how it is produced. Dairy should be more expensive than it is now, similar to what happens to meat.

Dairy and meat is part of a healthy diet. While not impossible to do without, health problems often develops with time. That's why most people (84%) who adopts a vegan diet at some point in their lives, returns to eating meat and dairy again. The first years on a plant diet are usually great, almost everyone feels better than ever. Then after 5-10 years many will experience a steep decline in health, both physical and mental that is resolved with returning to animal products. Of course eating too much animal products and not enough plants will also make you sick, that goes without saying.

So yes, agree very much that we should care how it is produced.
It will allow you to live comfortably at least.

Look I know because I've been between those two worlds. When I was around criminals I had the option of working for them for money and would probably make more than I do today because it would be tax free. But it wouldn't be millions because I'd be in the background helping out with IT infra and policy. So if you're smart you take less money to be left as far outside as possible.

The problem is that it's not possible to be outside of that world. You will be taken advantage of. You will be a golden goose that everyone wants a part of just because you can manage their IT securely.

So I was smart and got a safe IT job where I make enough to live very comfortably, work where I want, practically when I want and with people who are not openly sociopaths.
Maybe it is too early, but I envisioned some ancient alien civilization’s jet plane spied in a black hole. Quite the observation indeed.
Why do rich people keep producing now?

Why did the they keep producing in the 50s and 60s with a 90% tax rate?

Because they know that if they don't.. someone else will.. no matter what the tax rate.
Inverted totalitarianism: ubiquitous, megaplatforms deciding what we can and can't see, what we can and can't do, and locking us out of nearly everything arbitrarily under the "ooh, they're a company, so they can do whatever they want" mantra. They are the state because they bought and paid for enough politicians, so this "mom & pop shop doesn't have to sell porn"-defense doesn't apply.

In The Friends of Voltaire, [Beatrice] Hall wrote the phrase: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" as an illustration of Voltaire's beliefs. - bad ol' Wikipedia. If megaplatforms are allowed to pick and choose writing, they can and will censor anything.
That defeats part of the purpose of a carbon tax. In theory, having all crypto be on non-carbon energy is ecologically safe. A carbon tax applied at the level of energy purchase is the most reliable way to move even crypto energy consumption to renewables.

I have picked up people who wanted to go to Wake Forest University. It is located in the town of Winston-Salem, home of RJR Tobacco.

There is also a town named Wake Forest, home to the original Wake Forest Baptist Manual Labor Institute, then Wake Forest College. Mr. R J Reynolds paid this college to move to his home town, donating the land, but not renaming it.

If you try to go to Wake Forest, NC, you get RDU instead of GSO, and it is an extra 3 hours or so driving round trip.
Well anyone can see a few million years back in time just by going outside on a dark night and looking at one of the nearby visible galaxies with their eyes. Knowing that this is what is happening is indeed a great achievement.
While it's possible that post-first-light dark matter can cause caustics-like effects on the background microwaves via gravitational lensing, the fluctuations in the CMB that are anything like the |WMAP Cold Spot| are not plausibly generated that way, mostly because dark matter is simply too diffuse from the present age of the universe back to just after the formation of the CMB (which is the earliest possible time any structure can be in the foreground of the CMB). Barring something really unexpected, the Cold Spot is probably a relic of Cosmic Inflation, producing an atypical underdensity of matter-including-dark-matter.

> I really just buy a new mobo, CPU, and graphics card

I think that would be CPU, motherboard and RAM. Graphics cards can be upgraded independently thanks to PCIe, which I often choose to do as they are in a price league of their own.

I'm sad CPU sockets change that often, I would like to stretch expenses a bit more, like using DDR3 for a little while before switching to DDR4. Unfortunately, when upgrading to the next generation, you pretty much have to upgrade those three at once. And Intel is way, way worse with that.

I hear that motherboard manufacturers lobby for new sockets...
If you aren't running a ridiculous number of head per acre and you have swales cut into your land to control runoff, manure is absolutely not a problem.

Permaculture + Silvopasture is labor intensive at harvest for sure, because you can't just run a tree shaker or tractor down rows, but you need to forage through a food forest which requires some knowledge and care. The bigger downside for industrial farmers is that instead of one product you can unload to a co-op easily, you have 30+ crops you need to find a market for.

In my experience a lot of farmers are fairly set in their ways. Even 100% win solutions like no till planting with cover crop grazing are being taken up very slowly.
I disagree. Surveillance isn’t limited to breaking encryption — the Stasi would put cameras in water cans to spy on funerals, drill holes in walls while you were out to spy on you in your own apartment, etc. — and the tech for meatspace surveillance has only gotten smaller and cheaper since the fall of the Wall. Laser microphones in particular are something a high school student could reasonably make with a pocket-money budget.

It depends on how we define "sane", doesn't it?

If we just mean "not evidently delusional or psychotic", then probably a billionaire is no less likely to be sane than anyone - probably if anything more so, one power of money being that of reliable access to medical care.

If we instead by 'sane' mean "firmly grounded and operating within consensus reality", as I once heard the term defined, then I think the question becomes considerably more interesting. (Whose consensus?)

Your assumption is off base. Cardano has PoS, hovers between the top 5-3 cryptos. It works,and works quite well.
With hindsight I think there should have been two parts. 'Do you want to leave?' and then having looked into the details "ok here's the deal - you still want to go ahead?" I don't think many people were really voting for the present mess.

Yes, a tiny no-name company is pretty likely to totally mess up. But the "error" in thinking here is being bad with probabilities rather than strictly not understanding something technical.

I'd also wonder if there's an element of buying access. If all the top people in some criminal industry use it, it may be a way to signal membership.

Wikipedia is wonderful at giving you the handwavey picture, and then you can even skim some more advanced papers with handwavey ideas (e.g. there's a rigorous theory of PDEs in graphs relating the Khirchoff/incidence matrix to the de Rham operator, and then developing a theory of how graph Laplacians are really the Laplacians from calculus).

But I kind of have a BDSM relationship with mathematics. I'm not happy until it makes me suffer.

You can target the energy suppliers directly, who then pass the cost on to consumers of the electricity. With a sufficiently high tax, it becomes unprofitable to mine crypto using non-renewable energy.

In theory, if the world had a high energy PoW blockchain solely powered by solar energy, that would be ecologically harmless.
This also frustrated me when I was using OS X and Linux in parallel when I was using an identical Apple keyboard on both - really messes with your muscle memory. As long as I did not use an external keyboard on my MacBook I was fine.

Unfortunately this requires X11 anyway :(
