Speak for yourself (or maybe there's data on this that you can cite). I personally very much enjoy cooking and prepare nearly all of my meals from scratch. I've seen friends I never would have imagined cooking pick it up as a hobby they enjoy during the pandemic. There are actually a few countries where eating out is more common: Spain and Canada, according to this data [1].

I was actually talking about both. For example for python, which is what I usually use, both uwsgi and gunicorn support graceful restarts. Admittedly I don't have much experience with other languages, but it's technically possible. If your application doesn't support it out of the box, you can still achieve it with something like systemd's socket activation.
True but publication standards change over time. If none of Euler’s publications are “trivial” in the sense that processors will gloss over the proof during lectures that would be surprising.

This was a big issue on my Samsung Galaxy S9 (2-3 years old flagship), OnePlus 7 Pro (2 years old flagship), and Google Pixel 5 (8 month old flagship). Those are all AMOLED so it's not an issue in normal mode black text on white background, but with dark themes scrolling makes the text look really bad, and it's even worse at low brightness.

If you suspected your security consultant, what would be the point of slipping them tiny hints about what you've found? If they're the source of the intrusion, they already know. If they're not the source of the intrusion, why fear them when you've already been compromised? Also, if you suspected the consultant, why hire them to do the security review?

I suspect the real reason is probably simpler: they have strong personal or financial incentives to "not have known" about the intrusion before the researcher discovered it.

I understand how keeping him damages the reputation of the FSF, but I wonder if removing him wouldn't also damage their reputation. From what I understand, choosing to keep him is favoring "purity of ideas" about free software over inclusivity while choosing to remove/not keep him is favoring inclusivity over "purity of ideas" about free software. At least that's how I see it, I would love to discover a figure of free software that's as uncompromising as RMS on free software while being more inclusive than him. If there's one, I think that they would be a great replacement for him. My question may boil down to "Who will champion RMS's good ideas if he's gone?". I fear that people are throwing the baby with the bathwater in his case.

> So if your unoptimized Julia program relies upon traditional "dynamic" features like

Dynamic dispatch is slow in any language, including C/C++ (provided that the compiler can't devirtualize the method). This is why such things are never done in an inner loop.

In C++, its harder to "accidentally" use dynamic dispatch because you have to explicitly annotate a function as being virtual. In Julia, which is much more concise, type stability or instability is implicit. But it can be inspected statically via @code_warntype. Good IDE plug-ins can make it easier.

You might think so, but no. It's the wrong order of magnitude.

That could add maybe US$2000 per TEU, which is 21 tonnes of cargo such as solar panels. You can ship a TEU anywhere in the world for US$3000 or less. A 1m² solar panel might weigh 20 kg, so that's roughly 1000 solar pannels, or US$2 per solar panel. That solar panel is about 200 Wp, so this works out to US$0.01 of shipping cost per peak watt. Or less.

The solar module itself costs some US$0.18/Wp wholesale (the article cites higher prices, but see http://pvinsights.com/ https://www.solarserver.de/pv-modulpreise/ https://www.energytrend.com/solar-price.html for more detailed and reliable pricing info), and the whole installation including the panels maybe US$0.50/Wp. So there's no way that an extra US$0.01/Wp could double the cost of the installation. Bump it by 2% maybe.

China isn't the source of key materials. There aren't any key materials; the ingredients in PV cells, except for silver, are abundant everywhere. It's the source of the fully manufactured photovoltaic modules, a finished product that you can prop up in the sun and connect to a battery through a diode. If shipping costs were so high relative to the value of the finished product, every country would have its own solar-cell manufacturing plants,
the way every country has its own liquid-oxygen plants, and there wouldn't be such a thing as a worldwide concentration of PV manufacturing in China.

My advisor and great friend could manage with a team of a few percent in headcount of the present incumbent cohort, a multi billion pounds development organisation and had proven himself in the most fraught of contentions between government and industry (Mike was the hatchet man tasked with getting the dirt and lowdown on the infamous Westland affair that nearly toppled the Thatcher government, for only one example of his capabilities) and consequently I'm not persuaded of the whole prejudice against bureaucracy which I know personally in the UK has been a consequence of this most disastrous and indiscriminate violence against the national interest in all of my understanding of administrative modern history.

> It’s not eco-friendly

I'm actually curious about this point. I wonder about the actual environmental comparison between, say, going through 3-4 notebooks a year vs. a tablet with a 3-5 year span. A notebook "costs" trees, and in theory is use-once and disposeable, but it's biodegradable, the ingredients are relatively easily accessible, and the manufacturing process is pretty refined by now. A tablet, on the other hand, has a whole world of exotic and toxic materials and manufacturing, doesn't break down nearly as cleanly in the end, and costs energy along the way...
Hydrogen storage remains in the prototyping phase. We have no significant amount of hydrogen grid storage. Like thermal batteries or synthetic methane, hydrogen represents a potential storage solution but not one that we know will scale and be effectively deployed at the scope required.

If we actually deploy 50 GWh of hydrogen storage, and demonstrate that it can cheaply and reliability be built at scale then your point would be valid. But until then, hydrogen represents a theoretical solution not an actual solution.

I’m sure there’s corruption to be found everywhere, however in some places you have recourse, in others you don’t. Borders are quite special areas that one ought to take with utmost seriousness anywhere. You can imagine what would happen if you threw out some coke in the Kuala Lumpur or Singapore airports.
I will make a blog post about it.
Corruption and inefficiency of this kind is a relatively new phenomenon, stemming from a regime of letting private contractors run the whole show. A fun fact is that Stockholm has one of the most expensive buildings in the world: Nya Karolinska, which has cost (converted from Swedish currency) around 2 billion dollars. The reason behind this is that construction was run as a public-private partnership. Meaning you shove loads of cash into private hands while you get none of the benefit.

Compared to Gauss or Erdős?

The thing about mathematics is that it doesn’t become particularly easy if you don’t know anything. If you imagine a growing sphere of mathematical knowledge then things in the middle might have been discovered but the surface area of the edge grows as that happens.

Sure Euler could do random crazy algebra things that no one had thought of but I don’t think he was in a position to invent Gaussian curvature. Erdős did a lot of combinatorics and graph theory and Ramsay theory which, apart from the latter, are full of questions that are easy to state and which plenty of people might have thought of, and yet which weren’t solved until he came along. There’s also the possibility of discovering a new proof of an old result which he did a bit.
This is not true. Maintenance is necessary for dirt lots in downtowns. I own a few parcels in the middle of dense cities.

In Britain they label it "singles" or "slices" or something equally meaningless.

None of those other battery chemistries are seeing the massive growth that lithium ion batteries have experienced. The nuclear "stans" are just pointing out that these are potential solutions, not actual solutions. If iron oxide batteries, or some other chemistry, suddenly becomes cheap and easily deployed at the TWh scale, great. But until then they're not a solution.
Indeed, but it is done on an expanding boundary.

Nevertheless, I do not agree with the spirit of GP’s point, as one could equally argue that Euler accomplished so much while working from what was, from today’s perspective, an impoverished starting point.

There is a term, ‘Whig history’, which has come to epitomize the attitude of evaluating historical characters in accordance with current standards. It is not a helpful mode of analysis.

i have a small fleet of r7800s. they support ipv6. no binaries had to be stolen. nothing was "hacked up". it takes about ~20 minutes to check out the git repository, use "make menuconfig" to choose my board, and type "make". about three hours latter i have a very up to date distro.

your mileage may vary. personally i'd rather be running Debian, and have never quite gotten the spare time to try getting Debian going on these systems (i would borrow the kernel & maybe some other packages from openwrt, maybe even kexec in to Debian from openwrt). but openwrt has been low muss low fuss for me since I installed it on a WRT54GS a decade & a half ago. there's certainly some initial uncomfortability learning uboot, understanding what to do. but i've never had to go to any special measures for things to be just working.

did you report any of your issues? are there bug reports for anything you encountered? nothing in what you wrote up sounds right or good or like what i've experienced or would want to. i hope some of these problems got captured.
A couple of things here.

First, you are conflating the underlying log relevance scoring ML system with the GPT-3 summarizing system. ML is a good fit for relevant log identification for the reasons you describe, although characterizing this software as root cause identification is not very accurate in my opinion, based on the examples you can find on their website. But the value of summarizing a log line into natural language is low, while the cost of misleadingly characterizing that log line is high. Whoever needs to debug this system and find the real root cause (e.g. why did the system go OOM?) probably needs certainty more than the convenience and in all likelihood, they are more likely to correctly summarize what the log line says than GPT-3 is (obviously we don't know since there is no evidence, but I don't work with any engineers whose ability to summarize the contents of a log line would be described as "mostly not misleading").

Secondly, I can't agree with this sentence:

> AI excels at long-tail problems where the cost of failure is high, precisely because human failure is such an expensive problem in those cases

Maybe it depends on domain and tech, but in my experience humans don't fail on out-of-sample data nearly as often as AI does. When they do fail, it is often more predictable to other humans and humans inherently have the ability to assign confidence levels to their conclusion which you don't see in many AI models such as GPT-3. Humans are also more effective at applying rules (e.g. common sense) to improve predictions on out-of-sample inputs. I think of "AI is worse than humans at generalizing to out-of-sample" as being a widely held, well-evidenced belief, but I would be interested if you disagree.

For me, the quintessential example is something like traffic light identification, where models generally struggle to identify unseen variants correctly while humans rarely struggle at it. What examples are you thinking of where AI excels at long-trail problems?

IIUC, the open source app uses an unofficial/private api to communicate with the city’s application backend? Regardless of anything leading to the open source app being built, I struggle to take their side here.

Looking at the code, it appears that they authenticate against the api? So it’s a third-party app using an api, against the first-party’s expressed wishes, to read and/or manipulate student data?[1]

Of course the city will defend against that.

Yes, you all are engaging in the "nothing can be invented" argument. It's profoundly reactionary, and also hypocritical, because nuclear itself is dead without great improvement.
