Here is the USGS mineral commodity summary for lithium in 2010: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/prd-wret/assets/palladium...

Here is the same report for 2021: https://pubs.usgs.gov/periodicals/mcs2021/mcs2021-lithium.pd...

World lithium reserves went up from 9.9 million tons in 2010 to 21 million tons in 2021 even as extraction accelerated. Companies have been putting more effort into discovery which has increased known reserves much faster than increasing extraction is drawing them down.
As a California resident I don't see the cheaper generation cost gets reflected on my utility bill, so what's the point to the consumer?

Not to mention the delivery cost is another major part of the bill which is not changed regardless of the source of the electricity.
35 Celsius = 95 Fahrenheit for my fellow yanks. That seems like a pretty extreme line to draw for "when do I need AC".

I don't know about you, but the indoor temperature above which I start wanting AC is around 72-75F, or ~23C. Lots of the PNW gets over that for much of the summer. It didn't used to be this way, but I've wanted AC in Seattle for at least a few weeks a year, sometimes as much as 6 - 8 weeks, since 2013 or 2014. Particularly because the insulation in a lot of apartment buildings meant to make them more efficient in winter causes them to heat up like a furnace in a hot summer.
The words currency and invest tell you all you need to know. Currency investment is actually currency speculation, digital or fiat. It would be done by Google finance investment managers on their high risk side.

Google secures more income by letting 1,000,000 stupid crypto currencies use GCP for infrastructure and by search related revenue than it would from "inventing" google bucks. There's no novel technology side to block chain for Google inherent in currency.

If they did a non repudiation chain rooted in an HSM with no proof of work or stake, for tiny per million transactions fee, and let everyone do public non repudiation transactional ledger, THAT would be interesting. No crypto currency. Good crypto in verified chain state which doesn't demand the heat death of the universe to compute. And at scale.
That’s fair, it depends on what you’re considering the “trade”. My critique probably applies more to basketball, football more than the article’s case. Still, the nature of the system suppresses any chance to get a better deal, so to speak.

I worked to help develop and deploy geothermal for a few years. Like most alt energy, it is was never intended to be the single replacement for fossil fuels.

But deployed to it's strengths - geothermal is yet another valuable component, that can advance the honest goal of marginalizing fossil fuel use.
> Things that would make it possible to run a decent scripting language without pulling in some huge runtime.

Seems to me the web already has an answer for that: transpile to JavaScript, and leverage the existing high-performance JavaScript engines.

Dart does this, for instance.
Importantly, such training requires more funding, not "defunding the police" as some propose.

What I find totally amazing about this whole scandal is that they ignored one of the most obvious and overwhelming examples of Ockham's razor I've ever seen.

On the one hand, you had the possibility of hundreds of sub-postmasters committing fraud in many different unrelated locations. There was zero evidence of them taking any money even after really deep scrutiny.

On the other hand, there was the possibility of software being buggy.

How could they happily conclude it was the first and not the second option is impossible to understand, and leaves me deeply worried about the UK legal system.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. In order to support the existence of such a distributed fraud scheme, they should have brought convincing evidence. There was zero. Furthermore, they happily ignored an option that is several orders of magnitude more likely. Namely, that badly built software fails and management was deliberately hiding this to save their face.
With such a low resolution, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be faster and simpler to just do the whole rendering on the CPU and just blit and upscale the result with the GPU.
Sure, they'll get you in with the promotion prices, but as soon as fossil fuel plants get decommissioned you be sure the Sun is going to increase sunshine prices and jack up the $/kwh

I'm getting 8kw installed on my roof next month and the pay off is somewhere between 10-12 years. That's with NC's electricity costs being cheap at ~11c per kWh - in other areas this will drastically change.
I was estimating based on a 200-ton house, 30 kWh/day electricity use, and a need to store up to half of daily energy at any one time.

Dan's work pushed the adoption of BCP38, segmentation of authoritative and recursive resolvers, and better source port randomization. Entirely new mitigations were developed like 0x20, source address randomization, and double response detection.
I wouldn't say that the "whole concept" of college sports has been detrimental to education. As a college athlete, sports allowed me to go to a school I otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford. It also taught me valuable lessons and it had no impediment on my education there.

With that said, the current system sucks. Many athletes have lost their scholarships due to injury and were then on the hook for the costs of school, requiring some to transfer or drop out. There are some sports and programs that expect most of your time to be dedicated to the sport rather than your academics. The culture around some programs is toxic.

But none of it is inherent to the idea of "college sports". Would you argue that other extracurricular activities like clubs, student government, etc., are detrimental to education? Or would you say that they provide education in other areas of life compared to pure academia?

It is actually possible to style a <dialog> with a pure CSS fallback for reveal, e.g such that it also appears via :focus-within activated using a <label> that targets a nested but invisible input, which is feasible even if JS is disabled or locally malfunctioning. I’ve made this construction work but it is obviously a hack, and rather page-specific so we didn’t turn it into a library component. The result also had accessibility issues, which we did fix with JS, rationalised on the basis that ARIA by definition means JS availability.

Personally I’d rather that the toggle was available as an activation behaviour, and this is an open issue for the HTML standard. https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3567

It was the most authoritative report I could find at the time, albeit a reaction to other people having shared the news on Twitter first (I found a number of people complaining at the one or two people who first tweeted about it, saying it shouldn't have been shared so soon.)

In the interim, obviously a great many additional people and sources have reported it that could be chosen instead.
Maybe we need a debug oriented programming language ? say

`{ ... }?` denotes a scope we want to inspect, debugger gets launched and we get a generic reification of the tree path at that point; with ability to tweak parameters up that path and see multiple new trees rapidly (think Brett Victor live coding)

Honestly I think printf debugging is a pity. I do it.. but it feels like processing xml with sed.
This is a remarkably sympathetic description of Chinese IP theft. PhD student comes to Australia, gets access to groundbreaking tech, then abandons the venture and goes home to take CCP money and take the lead in panel manufacturing.
That seems needlessly reactionary. You really think life was easier before having an entire internet-connected computer in your pocket?

Simpler? Eh, maybe. But easier? Nah. Contact just about anyone from just about anywhere. Never need to carry a paper map (or several). Be able to look up just about any information you could need. Etc etc
> MV=PQ suggests that money-supply and price-level could increase in tandem, and V and Quantity-of-goods-produced could be unchanging.

That’s mostly true, especially near full[0] employment.

[0] not 100%, and how much less that is depends on other structural factors. If, say, uncontrolled social violence has people cowering in their homes instead of working the government printing money and offering to spend it on goods isn’t going to draw people out of their bunkers, its just going to drive up prices in the part of the monet economy still working.

Freeman Dyson devised an a/c system at Princeton that involved using snow making machines to generate a large pile of ice in an insulated shed during the winter (with the doors open) and circulated coolant through the ice pile and the buildings in the summer (with the shed doors closed).
Do you have solar on your house?

My mother and stepfather installed solar ten years ago and basically paid zero utility bills from then with utility connected solar (they said they paid $50/year to PGE). I think the equation is the same now except the cost of such a system is less.
You can easily offset that changing the angle the panels are installed at. People think in terms of maximum total output but tracking solar show significant power is available late in the day.

As solar keeps getting cheaper the question shifts further from how do I get maximum power to how do I maximize my investment. Which is a slightly different and far more complex optimization problem.

This may seem trite, but if you can get 20 servers worth of performance out of one you can afford to run two active-active and still reap a 10x capex/opex savings. The technology to have simple but reliable systems has been around for decades. You also can't assume that the cloud is going to never fail, so you always have to defend against failure whether it be running two servers or two availability zones.
They'd have to know to look for it, but running `alias sudo` would show if it had an alias assigned to it. It would honestly be more effective to change $PATH to include the malicious version of sudo.
I don't understand rooftop solar as a large scale solution. We don't propose that every household grows its own food or mines its own ore.

Let us build solar panels on the least valuable rural land, and benefit from the economies of scale and the ease of installation and maintenance - better to look after one acre of solar panels and inverters than the same number spread over a hundred houses. Transmission losses are negligible, easily single digit percent for 100km.

For individuals, it may make sense if they value grid independence or if they can benefit from tax breaks imposed by a government that doesn't agree with my take.
Why not go faster with subsidies?
It doesn't have to be that way, record-and-replay debugging can overcome this.
At least by the sounds and oceans it's a rather humid heat.

AC sure is a quality of life if not a necessity of life... Though if our homes were built for this climate rather than by Californian companies using shoddily adapted designs it might be another story.
Recently I tried out rr, the time travelling debugger. It blew my mind. I never imagined you could just run until an assertions fails, set a breakpoint on the variable the assertion checks, and the run backwards until the last time the variable was modified.

Shameless plug: If you're writing rust I wrote a tiny wrapper that finds the appropriate binaries and provides the right config to make it as easy as `cargo rr test my_test`. https://crates.io/crates/cargo-rr

> but wasn't the act already done on date1, i release it, i even released my own copyright to it.

Even where the unlicense has legal effect, releasing your copyright on A doesn’t stop you from having a copyright on the combination of A+B if B would be independently copyrightable. It does mean that copyright won’t be usable on people copying only from A, though.

Of course, where the unlicense isn’t legally effective in the first place, it has no impact on your choice of license for later works incorporating all or part of the earlier work.
Passwordstate doesn’t seem to have automatic update and the update process is mildly annoying, so I can’t imagine very many people were unlucky enough to update during the couple of days they were compromised.

Not saying this isn’t very concerning from Click Studios, just that the number is going to be a lot smaller than 29,000.
Better at what? Computers outdated a lot of employments already, but opened a lot of new fields and job opportunities. Making advancements is not the problem.

There was a mail list for the project, and no answer ever appeared there, either, despite requests for updates. Very strange.
My favorite part of PV is that you can scale it to fit any power generating capacity, from a residential roof all the way up to a 50MW farm. It’s fairly linear, too, in terms of land usage and cost, which makes it easy to understand.
Note: this story involves deadly violence and its aftereffects.

It plays periodically on The Moth storytelling show, and I often can't steel myself to listen to it. Though when I can it is deeply affecting.

The development of solar has been heavily subsidized by governments, so there isn't really a free marker success story here. If anything it's a story of how well long term interests, tethered to Nation-state level wealth via taxation, can work hand in hand with market forces.

When will India get Russia’s Sputnik V Covid vaccine?
Both great books and a really interesting thought process on what truly alien life might be like instead of just humans with more or less arms.
From the article:

> What is clear, however, is the Global Resource Systems announcements directed a fire hose of Internet traffic toward the Defense Department addresses. Madory said his monitoring showed the broad movements of Internet traffic began immediately after the IP addresses were announced Jan. 20.

> Madory said such large amounts of data could provide several benefits for those in a position to collect and analyze it for threat intelligence and other purposes.

It's interesting how this is framed as something "defensive in nature", when it's yet another massive funnel for data being slurped up by a US government agency.

If China or Russia would suddenly reroute a ton of traffic from outside their countries, to their respective government agencies, I doubt anybody would believe a benign "Just checking our security!" explanation.
Why isn't it net metering? It seems to be net metering whether you count in kilowatt hours or dollars.

They are selling back to the grid, with a smart meter that counts power in both direction. Theres many types of policies in net metering like details about what rate you buy and sell power to the utility. In some less favorable places, the grid sells you power at retail prices but buys it back from you at wholesale. In these places, to achieve a $0 utility bill you would be generating more during the day than you consume at night. If your net metering deal paid back at retail rates you may get a credit, but as far as i understand each utility can offer totally different net metering deals, if they offer it at all.

I think they're on to something. Our constraint on abstraction layers that they must be legible and grokkable by human minds, that's just something we impose because we feel that we should understand. But that constraint is overburden. I feel that neural nets are starting to prod at this. Our biology works and does incredibly complex computation (including social computation), and it's creation process didn't give a fuck whether a human could understand it. We're still playing catch-up with that sort of low-power computation that biology does. A sandwich powers a wildly powerful neural network

This also reminds me of how alien and organic ML-assisted design is -- when a design task is constrained only by its environmental constraints, and human aesthetic and comforts are discarded: http://jcsitnet.com/journals/jcsit/Vol_7_No_2_December_2019/... https://medium.com/intuitionmachine/the-alien-look-of-deep-l...

Straight lines and clean edges and nice angles are just abstractions that we humans happen to have preference for due to our very particular evolutionary history. As in, we happen to like clean straight lines and certain logics in physical and visual domain, but have no such constraints on taste and smell preferences, and in fact love complexity in those sensory domains, because that served us in our past ecological niches. But discarding these visual/logical sensibilities and allowing abstraction interfaces to float free of our preferences, that could open up a ton of possibilities for improvement. Of course, it would become as magical and messy as biology, and perhaps quite challenging to our reasoning.

There's good sci-fi about this. About our machines having more comfort with these complexities, and moving into realms of work where we just can't keep up. And we either trust-fall into being ok with what they're building, or we cripple their abilities to match ours. And maybe the society that cripples its AI less, ends up running circles around the ones who do...?

EDIT: to be clear, I believe our minds are already doing this: our brain is using "hidden physics" of matter to bring about our conscious experience. We keep finding that ever more niche effects are potential important to the hardware that runs our minds. Because "matter" didn't give a fuck about being legible to its future inhabitant :) We're still teasing apart the interactions, and likely will succeed in regrowing consciousness (with additional legibility) before we actually fully understand how our own is working.

Discloser: Am trained as biochemist, so might have a bent on this that doesn't resonate with more hard CS folks.
Why are you continuing to spew nonsense? You just admitted that I am right AHAHAHA!

Not all of the people saying the n-word are black, which makes it exactly like this. Thanks again for providing my point!

It's exactly like this.

Wrong, it's neither. Stop shifting goal posts.

There's that IMAX-level projection again! It's not a slur given the context, QED.

One of my favorite and most impactful classes I took in high school was auto shop. I was one of the lucky last few years (early 2000s) it was even offered, before being dropped entirely.

Among all my other AP classes, advanced math, science, literature, music, my one semester of auto shop was the only class that taught me the deep satisfaction of working with my hands. Doing something so immediately tangible. Understanding the intricacy and beauty of mechanical systems.

Like many of us on HN my career is in software, where things are so abstract and intangible. I work hard and exercise my mind, but so many days it feels like I have no evidence of progress.

That tangible, obvious sense of accomplishment is so lacking it's no wonder that it is such a trope that software developers retire into woodworking or blacksmithing.

It is a travesty that these hands-on skills have been dropped from high school curriculums. It truly opened my mind to a whole world I didn't know that I yearned for.
This is a good read and defies easy attempts to categorize it. Besides, doing so might steal some of the delightful surprise it contains.
