Sure but there are other dangers, some of this stuff has to be cooled. It has to be guarded. The place to store it has to be secure from all kinds of influences we can't control etc. To cite wikipedia:

> However, even a storage space hundreds of meters below the ground might not be able to withstand the pressures of one or more future glaciations with thick sheets of ice resting on top of the rock, deforming it and creating internal strains.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_geological_repository

We have made surprisingly little progress in the regard of long term storage, because the timespans involved and the potential dangers are not manageable by humans atm.

The question is do we want to put more on the pile or not? If the alternative is to destroy our planets with coal and co the answer should be clear.

But take Germany for example. We've built up wind energy from 0 to more output than nuclear energy in 15 years. I think this is preferable to nuclear energy which is not that dangerous but has the potential to become a unmanageable catastrophe at some point.

When we look at global warming there are two nations that need to act. China and the US, producing around 50% of Green House Gases. Both have more wind, way more space and potentially more money than Germany (China announced last year that they are gonna spend 1.5 Trillion USD in the next decades to become greener).
How to Install Cocoapods on Apple Silicon M1 Computers?
At my previous place we did promiscuous pairing, where each person stays on a task for 3 hours, but switches roles at the halfway point from driver to navigator. http://engineering.itpro.tv/2018/12/07/our-first-experiment-.... I think promiscuous pairing and mob programming result in similarly higher quality code and higher velocity. We tried mobbing a couple of times but it’s very different so it didn’t catch on easily and we didn’t take the time to become better at it. I kinda wish we had :D
The CUDA runtime gets as input the PTX intermediate language.

The toolkit ships with compilers from C++ and Fortran to NVVM, and provides you documentation about the PTX virtual machine at https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/parallel-thread-execution/index... and about the higher-level NVVM (which compiles down to PTX) at https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/nvvm-ir-spec/index.html.
Maybe they think it's the smart thing to do - in fact, maybe they have a degree in doing it!
Thanks, yeah it’s an MVP. Was trying to gauge interest before I complete the whole translation.
Isn't Ambergris still used in luxury fragrances?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambergris
Thanks for the insightful reply.

The pandemic has highlighted the fragility of global supply chains and the downside of being dependent on others for critical goods. They are cheap when they are plentiful but they become unobtainable when they are desperately needed. That, China's beligerent diplomats, and their decision to ignore the Hong Kong treaty will hopefully be the impetus to reduce reliance on China's supply chains by developing and supporting other sources even if they are more expensive. Perhaps even local sources given that friendly faces seem to be able to to turn on you once they have some leverage, and it is difficult to re-start an industry once that know-how is lost forever.

As the son of an economics professor I never thought I would argue for subsidies for uncompetitive natioanlized industry but it turns out there is some additional benefit other than the goods produced on a given day.

Politicians need support for hardships they may bring upon us, such as reduced profits, more expensive goods, and subsidies for local industry, that may be the result of sanctions and moral high ground.

I think "vote with your wallet" campaigns and boycotts can be a good indicator to politicians that their voters have the stomach for the sanctions, just like a demonstration or march in support of the Uighurs would.

Even ineffective measures that show your support for a cause, such as wrapping a t-shirt around your face to avoid spreading covid-19 particles that are the same size as asbestos fibres and can sail right through, sends a message that you are willing to make some sacrifice for the greater good at the cost of some personal discomfort.

I support goverment intervention, but I think the government needs to see they have the will of the voters behind them.
Thanks again for your thoughts!

You hit the nail on the head, I think ghost blog is relatively easy to set up, but for $9 a month and you'll handle my hosting and my ssl certs, and most people with a bit of disposable income are fine with paying that. I just spent $80 on a nice meal and a couple of drinks, if my blog is anything like an income source I'll have no problem with spending $100 a month for someone to manage it for me.

I would still advise students, and other new developers to go through the motions of hosting things themselves via AWS or whatever. If you can get a Ubuntu instance on ec2 to run a public facing website you probably can walk into a tech company and get an entry level job. It's not necessarily hard to learn how to do these things, it's just tedious. Avoiding the tedious drama is how open source companies make money

Hybridizer simply creates CUDA C++ code from C# which is then compiled to PTX it also does it for AVX which you can the compile with Intel’s compiler or gcc, it’s not particularly good and you often need to debug the generated CUDA source code yourself, it’s also doesn’t always play well with the CUDA programming model especially its more advanced features.

And again it’s a commercial product developed by a 3rd party, whilst someone uses it I wouldn’t even put it as a rounding error when accounting for why CUDA has the market share it has.
Good, let's try to convince anti-vaxxers, Q people, Covid-deniers and what not of that, it will surely work!

Of course it won't, because people tend to listen to other people due to a variety of reasons ( personal charisma, luck, circumstances, etc.). We wouldn't have cults and science deniers otherwise.
> It's not happening faster, people just don't know the history. That's why there were a billion auto makers in old Detroit, all cloning eachother rapidly. Those automobiles were more complex and difficult to manufacture than hoverboards.

Maybe. I don't know enough about the market for auto makers in old Detroit. But my suspicion is that no matter how fast they were, they were nowhere near as fast as we see microbrands pop up today. Pretty much any consumer manufactured good you care to search for on Amazon has not just one, but multiple weird micro-brands jostling for superior ranking. Brands form, rise and fall within a year or two. Maybe it has happened in the past, but it's definitely more hectic than any period in my lifetime.

I agree with everything in your second paragraph, but I think you're largely just stating the difficulty of business in a world where "making the product" is not the principal challenge. If anyone can contract manufacture a widget on spec and have it shipped from China for a few tens of thousands of dollars, then most people can do that part, and the game boils down to how efficiently you can market your product to a mass audience and poke your head above the crowd. This basically just boils down to "get attention by any means necessary" (which explains a lot about the internet and media today, and why you see so many celebrities-turned-investors achieving success. If you're already famous and rich, the job is 80% done.)

For the particular example of macaroni and cheese, I'm still amazed that this lady had enough time to build a brand via the sorts of shoe-leather techniques she used. I guarantee that if you tried this today, multiple opportunistic "hustlers" would clone your product and have equally well-developed branding before you had it in a dozen stores.

Texas was 5 minutes away from a total grid failsafe collapse if the grid frequency had continued to drop, and it just happened that pretty much all of North America was undergoing high usage. Uncontrolled energy are not sustainable at scale.
I think there are some direct ways to profit (like "recommending" items from amazon that are from top-sales statistics)

I wonder at all the indirect ways though. Maybe the account is enhanced to a reasonable reputation and is "banked" for later. Maybe there are levels of reputation that unlock abilities either on or off the site.

Or maybe some people are addicted to those silly internet points.

I'm surprised HN has a visible "score". I remember other sites would cap it at some value, basically reputation: excellent.
Longterm official updates? Not that I've found. Your best bet is likely to buy a high-specced device that allows root + unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom ROM. That's probably what I'm going to do (minus rooting), even though I'd greatly prefer manufacturer support.
Pretty wild list of misrepresentations you have there, your points about Greenwald are downright slanderous.

> Greenwald More Recently has been on shows of hard right people like Tucker Carlson

He goes on his show because the other outlets are not interested in his topics and therefor won't have him on, probably because they are too busy spouting conspiracy theories about russia. He always says this: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/glenn-greenwald-defends-going-on...

> Intercept because they refused to publish conspiracy theories about Joe Biden right before the 2020 election

That's a news worthy story, especially because they did not deny it, which is basically admitting it. They censored the whole story and even lock the new york post out of their twitter account for reporting on it.

> Here he basically says January 6 was a bunch of peaceful protestors misrepresented as violent,

That's not what the article is about, it's about how the media pushed fake news about the event, most egregiously the death of the officer.

> And here he is suggesting vote counting misconducts

again that's not what the article is about, it's about the US inability to count the votes, which takes literally months.

> And here he says you know who the "actual fascist" are? Facebook and Joe Biden

I disagree, He just points out that how the Silicon Valley - Biden/Harris axis will pursue down the path of censorship. I think this was a correct analysis, just watch friday's hearing.

the former is true, the latter couldn't be further from the truth.

Skechers report - no forced labour in Xinjiang
MUJI - no forced labour in Xinjiang
nike - no forced labour in Xinjiang
adidas - no forced labour in Xinjiang

At the same time this whole Xinjiang stuff reminds me of dozens of destibalization operations by the Americans in countless contries.

I went to Hong Kong in 2019 during the protests to join them and to see with my own eyes what was going on. I met with the protesters and spoke with many of them.

It was NOT the same what the media was reporting here.

Once covid is over, I will travel to Xinjiang and also see for myself, because I started to believe that this entire anti-China movement is a very smart way of setting up of a new cold war.
That's the thing, it is hard to disengage. I know that the China sanctions seem to have helped move that along economically, but it's hard to even know where every little thing is sourced from and so much is done in China.

But I do know that, at least for my shoes, they were made by Tim & Mary, not by someone toiling in a factory with nets to keep them from jumping out the window. It's not much, but it's something.

>I honestly don’t see why a paper form is necessarily wrong

Agree, but I also think the point the author is trying to make is correct but maybe unclear - The main goal is to get people the vaccine, period. Everything else that is being done is being done in support of that goal. Not everyone has direct access to a printer, should that be a reason someone should not get vaccinated?

Paper ballots are great for elections, but there's no good reason paper is required to get someone Moderna/Pfizer/AZ/J&J et al.

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_8.0.0/com... goes to a level above:

"Alternatively you can let the virtual machine (VM) make this decision automatically by setting a system property on the command line. The JIT can also offload certain processing tasks based on performance heuristics."

A lot of what ultimately limits GPUs today is that they are connected over a relatively slow bus (PCIe), this will change in the future, allowing smaller and smaller tasks to be offloaded.

No. This is not a real problem. If it were NPPs would not store spent fuel on site.

The reality is that it's a hypothetical problem. Even the simple real problem of storing spent fuel is not that of a problem, because there's not that much of it. And while it's hot it needs water then moving air anyway.

Long term storage is a nice idea, but in reality it's easy (dump anywhere down enough that it doesn't matter) and the later we solve it the more certain we can be that we did it right (more data, more time spent on finding the right solution).

Bombing is not necessary. Ceasing supplies will turn it into dust in a moment of time, irreversibly. Consider Samsung factories in Texas that are still stalling, caused by quite short electric power outage.
This is always an issue on Reddit.

Interesting historical perspective since bomb planes transformed human warfare and was critical in the development of first ww1 and then more so during ww2. While not fully unique, the idea of killing the morale of the citizens rather than confronting the military was an insight many leader found from the bomb planes, and the idea of nuclear bombs are almost impossible without the idea of air travel.
> ...you might pretend to be this bully's friend, feed them a different idea, convince them that it's their idea...

I thought I'd read somewhere (but can't find the source now) that around the Cold War or thereabouts, trade with China was seen as a way of "exporting capitalism" to undermine support for communism there. If so, that... hasn't worked.

I'm not convinced the west actually has any leverage on China. They own the US's debt, they have access to rare earth metals necessary for computer manufacture, and they're the backbone of worldwide manufacturing. Any pressure applied (trade sanctions?) will just come back the other direction (oh no, actually we need that trade to maintain our way of life).
Thanks for this, I'll keep this in mind.

When I was young, all my jokes were from somewhere else (101 funny jokes!) and people thought they were funny. My problem was remembering them.

Nowadays everybody has seen all the good ones ("Bring me my brown pants!")

So now the problem with telling jokes from a "professional funny person" is that if you've heard it before, chances are others have too and you're getting polite laughter.
The Wonder Materials That Could Replace Silicon in Future Tech
Frankly this seems like hype. We know that COVID poses very little risk for most of the population, and it's claimed that these vaccines are still highly effective in the elderly population that are at risk.

So just use the vaccines in the older population where the risk/benefit tradeoff is very likely to be positive, and stop stressing about getting absolutely everyone vaccinated.

I mean, in 5 years Svelte could be the new React, and React could be the new Angular. I mean that there are plenty of people still using Angular for legacy apps, but it's not exactly "in vogue"; trends showed that people were generally more satisfied using react. React isn't going away, but if people are more satisfied with svelte (which the trends seem to indicate, and I understand why after learning a bit about svelte from a React background), I think it could dominate new projects in 5 years.
The folks who make Android seem to think so.

Python is not fully a functional programming language but it supports some functional patterns.

Where are you getting these "points" from? Without a real world benchmark I don't see why you're so confident about this.

The video in the OP showed 8 pis, and assuming 4 cores each that's 32 cores total.

A raytracing benchmark would be interesting because you could divide the work up-front and not have to worry about communication between nodes in the cluster, and each node doesn't need that much memory.

Maybe the ryzen 2700 beats the 8 PI cluster, but clearly there's an X number of PIs that will beat the ryzen. Maybe it's X = 10 PIs, or 20, or 200? Idk, but it could also just be 8. There's no way to know for sure without a benchmark.
