> It is easier to argue that the bitcoin energy expenditure should be turned off

This is what I've been arguing the whole time. I'm not saying we shouldn't try to replace more impactful energy production with sustainable energy production. I'm saying we shouldn't be using energy on something as wasteful as proof-of-work, when we can have blockchain technology without it, because that energy production doesn't come without impact no matter how much the proof-of-work supporters and beneficiaries try to greenwash it.
It's sort of telling that you lump introverts, nomads, misanthropists and sociopaths together.
You are correct that Waymo does operate taxis on cities, however Autopilot collects data on highways and rural roads as well. The Waymo model currently depends on 3D mapping entire cities down to the centimeter and then augmenting that point cloud with LIDAR (ideally in the future they don't need to 3D map every operating city).

However, Waymo is using outfitted consumer minivans, not custom built vehicles. You can imagine that if the system becomes popular enough Honda and Toyota are going to want their slice of the pie once they realize that they can rent out self driving models rather than selling once at a dealership. It will be easier for a car maker to work with existing software rather than for a software company to build a vehicle. Tesla here owns the full vertical stack, much like Apple does with smartphones. That doesn't mean that they will control the entire market, however they will be able to squeeze much more value out of the market than competitors.

I don't need to pay anyone for me to host something aside from the domain name, and a connection to an ISP. I just have to want to host it. The rest of the world at some point decided the Net MUST be monetized. Cookies came soon after, then JS, then all the familiar trappings of the web as a monetized medium.

The identity of house buyers is a matter of public record. Not only is it searchable in multiple state databases (tax, real estate plats) but sale information including buyer and seller is typically published in the newspaper: https://www.chicagotribune.com/real-estate/sc-cons-0903-hous...

Not only that, but inventory the stuff genuinely valuable.

Because if you want it covered by your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy, you're going to need a rider on your policy for them, because homeowner's and renter's insurance policies tend to exclude valuable collectibles by default.

My M:tG collection isn't too crazy, but it does include 6 of the Power 9 (which I still play in decks), and my renter's insurance company has sent out an appraiser to verify the inventory so we could have a rider to cover it. They're worth as much as a pretty decent car.

Apple's Environment Plan
I like Elon's personality but I do not particularly care about promoting him as a good person or some kind of hero. I care instead about the goals he is furthering and from my independent analysis Tesla is the best electric automaker and the best software company in the automotive industry without a shadow of a doubt.

It's funny how I didn't even mention him in my original post and yet he's brought up as a refutation to my earlier points. I do not care about what Elon has to say, I care about what the company releases and so far the company has released self driving products that have had more of an impact on the market and our culture than any other automaker.

I'm not sure how that's different than someone sending a direct message to someone in a chat. Except now you'd definitely have no idea if someone was discussing something important and you were missing it.
>What I hear are complaints about the consequences of the pandemic

How so (rhetorically asked)?

> That both they and their partner are forced to share a workspace. That they miss changes of scenery, or that their home workspace isn't adequate enough to get work done.

These all seem like problems that arise from WFH. Especially two people working from home. Inadequate workspace and isolation at home.

> Before the pandemic, I would regularly rotate venues for where I got my work done. I'd go to different coffee shops and libraries.

Yeah, if you can work from a coworking space (either formal or informal) that solves quite a few of those problems. That's different. Although I don't want to subsidize my employer's office rent, but I'm happy to direct their funds to a location I prefer.

The other point I note is that you work on a laptop. You talk about taking it with you and other clues. How do you work on a small screen, touchpad, and a laptop keyboard. I'm honestly curious, because I've tried it many times and there must be some tricks I need to start employing. The lack of dual screens alone seems like it would kill productivity. (And sea air seems like it would kill your electronics.)

I've seen one approach work, but it struggles to scale, as it needs technical people on the client side.

Buying "outcomes" rather than services can work well - rather than procuring a specific "specification", you buy a solution. The standard contractual framework means you are paid for delivery to tangible milestones (demonstrable value), with engineering/technical background project management team overseeing the work. You work at risk, as you only get paid for delivery. That keeps many of the charlatans away, since it's very clear you're paid for delivery, not effort. That means the headline rate is higher, of course.

Focusing aggressively on actual delivery, but also not dictating the solution means you can see suppliers compete not only on price, but also on how they'll solve the problem. This means the government client needs to understand their problem well enough to articulate it (with some of that support from a technical project manager), but they then evaluate proposals for solving their problem. This moves away from the incentives to "body-shop" low-pay graduates onto a project that a partner pitched for, as it has to actually deliver.

I tend to see the "worst" projects (in terms of non-delivery, large bills incurred, poor value, and the only output being a report recommending more work) come about when the government client doesn't understand their own problem or goal though, so perhaps this approach self-selects problems where the customer can actually articulate their need.
What’s incredible to me is how long the human brain remains a trade secret from nature. Have we ever made a product so well concealed that its IP would withstand being sent for more than 5 years to every “spy” country in the world? Let alone be sitting there for a millenium on top of every human... If that’s not nature’s way to taunt us, its capacity to remain a secret is at least admirable.

I agree Goodreads is not broken. At least not for me. The answer is simple - it's single player mode is so strong that it's hard to usurp. A good comparison would be IMDb. Even if you dont have friends on Goodreads, you can do all the things you need. You can discover books, read what others have said about it, discover more books from the same author, read the quotes, find similar books, and as an add on, find a community you can discuss books in. Then there is a list, not as prominent but added feature of finding what others like. In terms of jobs-to-be-done, it serves everything perfectly.

This is a huge underrated moat, and for any new startup, they have to usurp that. This moat is also why users stick and then the network effects kick in.

Am I the only one who thinks that the API looks terrible? Lots of cryptic and hard-to-remember names (`cuMemcpyDtoHAsync`), no proper error and log handling, manual building of command line arguments (`opts = [b"--fmad=false", b"--gpu-architecture=compute_75"]` – wat), …

And, knowing Nvidia, the documentation will probably be terrible and anything but beginner-friendly, too.

I mean, if you want to improve upon the CUDA ecosystem why not start with the low-hanging fruit first?
I'm happy with Standard Notes. I just checked and my oldest note is from 13/04/2017 so it has been a few years.

I don't use the desktop app as the web version works fine. The Android app works fine as well. Sync is great and note edit history is great. I mostly use plain text and the task editor for ticking off things.

It works, it's open source, it gets out of your way and Mo and team are responsive when rare issues come up. I use it every day and I'm happy to be paying for it to support it.

Well, two parents working means the kids would be in daycare normally, that wouldn’t change with WFH or not. This is more of a pandemic issue than a WFH issue.

Also, the choice of whether one or both parents work is about more than just money. For one thing, it is basically choosing to end your career; we might not wish it to be so, but getting back in the workforce after being out for years is very difficult, and will require moving down the career growth ladder quite a bit.
This is all downside for no upside. The stated problem to solve -- that it's hard to fit search criteria into query string parameters -- is not really any sort of real problem in practice.

This would have us forgo cacheability, forgo the ability to send a link to a search, introduce more complexity into web servers and clients, all just to be able to send query parameters in the request body.

You can say that goodreads stagnated, in a technical sense, but it's still way better than all options. It works well on desktop, the android app let's me add books by pointing my camera to the cover or barcode. All book bloggers/youtubers are there, all my friends that read are there.

When you factor in those 2 things - everyone is on goodreads, and there's no better alternative to goodreads - there's no reason to leave.
Considering they did this only for the BLM founder and for Hunter Biden laptop, I would say it's probably human action.
> ... your comment is out of reality because it's def not gameplay dev that manage certificates, they have central team like Google does.

The main point of my comment is that there's a natural downward pressure on the salary of their software engineers due to being in the games industry, which makes it difficult to find devops people (which, for the purpose of this conversation, are distinct from software engineers) at a similar rate, and makes it difficult to justify paying devops people at the market rate.
With vocal interaction people expect an immediate response. With text interaction they are willing to tolerate a delay.
Telling about what? I was enumerating groups of people who don't particularly value being around other people. Maybe I'm wrong with sociopaths in that regard though, as they might actually enjoy that for all the wrong reasons.

I realize how this categorization can be seen as disingenious though. Sorry for that, I didn't mean to be — I'm just completely burned out.

If anything, it gives me a little bit better of an impression of (the exact opposite of?) what introverts must probably suffer through in an office environment full of extroverts like me.
WRT floating-point, worth noting for those who haven't read the patches:

- Kernels generally don't want to use floating-point, because saving and restoring the floating-point registers is fairly expensive.
- Without some pretty aggressive hacking, it's not possible to remove floating-point support from Rust.
- What you /can/ do (and what these patches do) is replace all the floating-point builtins with kernel panics.
- This obviously sucks versus actually removing the floating-point, but this is an RFC.

People keep mentioning reviews on GoodReads, but to me, aggregate scores there always seemed pretty much useless. The whole scope of grades from ‘eh’ to ‘jolly good book’ is in the range from 4.0 to 4.5—and it's not even a clear gradation from worse to better, they're sorta mixed up instead. Plus a lot of outliers: okay books above 4.5 or excellent ones at or below 4.0. Never once could use the site to see if I should or shouldn't read some book.

A compressed score range itself is not a problem, it just needs to have a clear gradation of values, with not too many outliers. E.g. on IMDB movies range from 6.5 for watchable to 7.0 for good-ish to ~8 for excellent, with 8.5 being genius. On Rotten Tomatoes, 75% is pretty good, 85% is excellent, >90% is either immediate classic or a superhero movie (not hard to tell apart). Metacritic is similar to IMDB in regard to games.

However, seeing as books are often politicized and get good reviews only due to the political message (e.g. Ayn Rand), perhaps the scores are bound to be bogus anyway.

Detecting the sentiment on Elon Musk's tweets with Python
You've got it backwards. Supervising an ML model in a lab under perfect conditions is testing the times tables. Putting you in extremely variable situations where you have to solve different problems is learning calculus. No two driving trips are exactly the same, otherwise you could just record the steering and pedal inputs and be done with the whole thing. Autopilot has been in more situations and processed more roads than any other self driving vehicle (simply because Autopilot vehicles have been mass produced for years and the others aren't yet).

> the vast majority of data Tesla is receiving is reinforcement of what already works.

Absolutely! But is this not still valuable? This tells the model that, in times when it doesn't know what to do, it can pick the most reliable strategies that have worked 100% every other time. This applies geo-spatially too: if Autopilot drives too hard around a corner and you hit the brakes to disconnect, the model will remember this and send the incident to the cloud. As more Teslas continue to disconnect around this corner, the model will learn to adjust its speed for a smoother ride until nobody is disconnecting. At that point you, someone who has never driven a Tesla before, can go out and buy one and it will handle that same corner perfectly without you knowing that it was once a pain point. This is the benefit of collecting as much data as possible.
Queen's Gambit only got funded because the Netflix folks saw the boom happening in chess streaming before it. Pogchamps was probably the biggest single factor if you want to go looking for that. It's almost certainly why Netflix wrote the check. For anyone unfamiliar, Pogchamps is a tournament organized by chess.com that paired famous streamers with chess pros as coaches. It's genuinely some pretty fantastic content.

There's also pretty substantial evidence the later parts of the boom were fed by COVID.
