have you ever tried providing a phone number/account number/id number over the phone? how easily/correctly was it transferred?

Now add in hypothermia, noise, weather, or bodily harm to that equation.

The only improvement would be if the app could provide the NATO phonetic alphabet version of your coordinates to you - but you're not going to remember those without looking at your screen while talking - which is multitasking in a situation that you probably aren't going to do it well in.

Finally, the verbal transfer time is about 1/3.

I don't like this thing for the reasons provided (proprietary and clearly has issues), but would rather see this in use than trying to provide ten numbers while bleeding out.
In Spain each person has a unique ID number assigned at birth. The numbers for newborns are geographically pre-distributed to guarantee uniqueness despite delay in paperwork. It is universally accepted that this ID "number" (it actually has one letter too) is all you need to identify yourself, ever.

Except that I knew a coworker who had a duplicate ID. An extremely rare event, they messed up the pre-assignment and there is another dude somewhere with his same ID. So from time to time, some system would tell him that his ID was already registered. A lot of banks and stuff like private healthcare systems like to use the DNI as usernames.

He tried to get his ID changed, but that was such a foreign concept to any of the involved institutions, that he had to give up because there simply is no such procedure. I guess he could have taken it to court, but the guy decided to just live with it (the justice system is quite slow here).
One of the core tenets of CCP propaganda is equating attacks on the CCP as attacks on the Chinese people and therefore racist. It would be just as moronic to equate an attack on Trump as racist against white people.

>Thus, every cent spent on this project actually takes us farther away from a renewable-energy future, vs. that same money put into building out wind and solar capacity and storage.

I believe you don't understand there is a law of diminishing returns on everything. If I spend 10x more on electronic chip research, I don't get 10x faster electronics, I get 1.2x, because improving becomes harder and more expensive.

The same happens with renevables. There is real state for solar and wind, places with lots of solar light and access to cheap refrigeration, like Algeria or Morocco, or places with lots of wind like the US Great Planes. Once you build on this real state, energy is way more expensive and it gives you worse returns.

On the contrary, it is a very good idea to explore different fields, because it is extremely cheap(the investment in nuclear fusion has been minimal compared to other energy sources) and gives you lots of scientific developments, because of the same law of diminishing returns.

It does not need to give you a new energy extraction mechanism. Just exploring what nobody else has done before, like getting plasmas at millions of degrees, have always provided scientific breakthroughs in the past.

Just putting all your eggs in one basket is not a good strategy.

Linear scalability is explicit in the readme. Bold statement.
Main memory, if you mean DRAM, no.

DRAM is incompatible with the logic family used in CPU making, though attempts were numerous at trying to work around that. Every few years, there are somebody coming with claims of passable CMOS+DRAM tech, but none got adoption so far.

In addition, the user knows their own location by virtue of having access to a GPS device - for W3W to work they've used a GPS and it's really just an in-band voice protocol for exchange of location.

It strikes me that W3W will eventually be replaced by the emergency location standards built into mobile which effectively SMS your location to the control centre on starting the call. Then there's little need for voice based W3W exchange - at best it could be a dialogue between caller and call handler to confirm the approximate area and location, and to take details like (for urban environments) if it's an apartment block or house etc. Or off the beaten track, which side of the mountain route they walked up to reach their current location.
Does W3W offer an easy way to see the locations of potential typos? E.g. can you put in a country constraint and have W3W give you the most similar (by edit distance, word swaps, etc) locations to the one you input that match that constraint?

I found a humorous essay years ago on the topic "should performance-enhancing drugs be allowed in math?"

Can't find it now.
No I'm Croatian, lived across EU, back home remoting now. Italy and Spain are not considered developed western Europe (neither is Portugal for that matter) it's not geographic, for example you often include Scandinavian countries in that bunch even if it's not geographically correct, so is Switzerland, their standard of living (Italy/Spain) is a tier below. Eastern Europe is a tier below that. Maybe it's a Croatian colloquialism since they are all west of us but I heard it used many times in other countries as well.
First, it's the social aspect. You smoke because it is/was cool.

Second, it's the anti-stress effect. When you take a hit, you concentrate on your breath. It's like a mini mindfulness moment. Under stressful situations at work I used to do it by myself (even walked out of the office to not be seen). Then I did not care and started smoking outside with the rest of coworkers. This combined the anti-stress with the social effects.

In the meantime, addiction kicks in. You don't get any pleasure any more, but you cannot leave it.

I am currently on an average of 6 cigarettes/day, but it's only because I do not smoke at home or weekends. Only on workdays, so really around 9-10 cigarettes/workday.

I can't help but feel bothered by the fact that the author didn't use the standard 7-segment display nomenclature/order for the segments (a-f clockwise starting from the top, middle is g) :-)

Another thing to note is that there isn't one standard 7-segment display font; in fact, whole papers have been written on the "optimal" font. The differences are the extra serifs that are optional on 7, 9, 6. It would be interesting to add this variability to the problem, where you don't know exactly what variant the clock is using.
There's a standard for automatically sharing the current location with emergency services, which is supported by both Android and iOS [0]. According to the wiki article, the UK is even one of the countries that uses AML.

Depends on how far your willing to go and/or if you buy into the "Audiophile" scene. For me the price that I am willing to pay for a pair of Headphones comes down to quality of sound, build and ease of repairability. The Beyerdynamic DT770's meet all of those markers for me at £130.

We had a classic situation at a software house I worked at in the '80s - employee numbers were 1-999 and then jumped to 5,000 - because, you guessed it, this "unique" field was used with magic numbers 1,000 - 5,000 being reserved for project ids in various key accounting systems!

And we were supposed to teach our customers good design principles...
Whenever I see articles related to the M1, the performance is amazing.
AFAIK, this is required in the US. If you call 911 they can request your GPS position. All cell phones for that reason are required to do GPS. Even simple feature phones can do GPS in some way. They can acquire the GPS signal and then will forward that to the cell tower, which then is able to do the required calculations to translate that in coordinates. Somewhere around that line it was working, IRC.
Yep. I did Civil/Structural.

This doesn't use wavelets afaics (they are not mentioned in the article), it uses something called 'Laplacian Pyramid'. That can be used separate a signal by frequency but seems to do the whole image at once. Looks to be the good old add-laplacian (ie 'blur') and subtract-from-the-original method (to get remaining high frequency).

I think wavelets usually have a limited extent in space (depending which basis shape you choose I guess).

Maybe they could make use of FFT for this separation, but it's probably hard to beat blur-and subtract for simplicity of implementation.
I am surprised they've never tried to introduce some kind of erasure coding or error correction coding. A 4th word from a finite set could act as a "check word" that would detect wrong order of words, mis-spellings of words etc.

I also feel like the solution W3W is trying to deliver is a short term patch until we get emergency SMS location from phones themselves delivered to the control room - having in band spoken location works until you have that, but W3W leaves a lot to be desired. Given it is an app, it might be easier for it to show the user words to read, which are themselves all just NATO phonetic alphabet words to spell their location. You'll get far more redundancy and human error correction over the voice channel using the phonetic alphabet than words.

It wouldn't be as shiny a solution though, and that probably doesn't play into W3W's marketing strategy... Even if it would help save more lives.
I would consider UK part of the developed Western Europe for sure and salaries in London are low for standard of living in that city. Zurich is even more insanely expensive.
The fact that it's fixed / can never be changed is a massive problem with social security numbers. That, and the fact it's often used as authentication instead of identification. They're moving away from that slowly, but it's taking a lot of time and effort.
Not if they are driven on european roads. Any car made after 2018 (??) can't have them. I know mercedes AMG plays an modified/amplified sound inside the car, but the new regulations in the EU forbids any new car from having this.

There has been talk about a labelling similar to environmental zones (which means older, dirty exhaust cars can't drive in cities) as well, meaning loud cars would not be allowed in cities.

Edit: oh, and everything louder than 72db, 0.5m from the exhaust at a 45degree offset, is already forbidden for cars iirc.
While alcohol does lower inhibitions, it is generally only acceptable after work or at the odd outing/party. A smoke break is acceptable during work and might be the only time different departments and levels from management to floor workers interact on a day to day basis.

I always thought that a combination of a geohash-like z order curve over a 15km radius, with an offline gps coordinates list of the 5000 most populated cities on earth would be sufficient to cover 99% of people on earth.

Not sure what's the average number of characters required for a 20m to 100m precision with such method.

It's true that the idea of plus codes of using city names makes a lot of sense.
For a lot of places in the world you would need more storage than you need production units, especially further away you get from the equator and deserts. Fixing enough production from wind and solar is already well economical up to a point of 100% capacity with some countries already there, but with around 50% of actually energy consumption being from renewable.

We don't even need to litter the ground as ocean based wind farms are quite effective in using the wast amount of oceans we have. If however we are going to stop using fossil fuels we need to convert that energy into a storage medium like hydrogen, having massive pipelines to transport it, have large amount of storage facilities, and built equal amount of capacity of gas burning power plants as we have renewable capacity demands. The economics of that is the tricky bit.

I'm not seeing anything in the piece that suggests that it isn't. VOA is state media but doesn't necessarily represent the official positions of the US government.
I was like that in my early 20s; bumming smokes off friends here and there, smoking sometimes when I was out at nightclubs or raves, bought a pack once every few months, usually couldn't finish it. It just never grabbed me. And once smoking wasn't permitted at bars and so on, I just never did it again. I smoke a pipe once in a while in the summer if I have good tobacco. Or a cigar on vacation here and there.

It's not that I don't get addicted to things. Caffeine has a strong hold on me. I've even felt nicotine cravings, but they didn't feel hard to ignore. I just think some people have a stronger addictive response to nicotine then others.
> I started smoking while drinking and the reason is that it feels fucking amazing

I have smoked about 5 cigarettes in my life, also when drinking as a young adult. It was honestly unpleasant for me; the feeling of hot smoke in my lungs was definitely not a natural taste to me.

I have always thought that people powered through the initial distaste for smoke to fit in, and then they acquired a taste for it (or became addicted and thus associated the smoke in the lungs with the nicotine rush, not sure).

Was I wrong? Did that first cigarette feel amazing to you? Was the first drag a pleasant feeling? Genuinely curios!
Things are about to not change as fast.

My drives are from 2011, peak SSD at 50nm (100.000 writes per bit).

My CPU/motherboards are from 2017, I think 2Gflops/watt is about where peak CPU is at.

Time will tell... but there is no point waiting for improvements now, time to go all in!
> Temperature kills hardware, you need to bring those temperatures down, and the only way to do that is to lower the wattage!

The best way to keep your CPU intact for a long time is keep it powered off. But then you have probably no use for this CPU…

> it's too hot and it's going to break very soon!

“very soon” on your scale from now to 100 years, probably. But most people prefer having a CPU working at full capacity for a few years than having a useless brick of silicon sitting around for a hundred year.
So why not do the coffee break outside, without the cigarette?
Note that Pakistan is a vassal state of China for financial reasons, and also to avoid escalation of their border and water disputes. So news reports from a .pk TLD are suspect.

The goal is to share a precise enough location without copy pasting, so with spellable and memorable words.
In practice there is though. If something is going to happen regardless whether you take advantage of it or not and you manage to benefit from it, then it basically was a free lunch for you.

One example of this is hydro power. Once you build a water mill on a river you don't have to do any work to keep it going. The sun heats up the water downstream from the waterwheel and it falls down as rain upstream. The river keeps flowing whether you take advantage of it or not. Eventually the sun will stop shining, but in practice that's so far away that it doesn't matter.
I've always (20+ years) known that Javascript numbers were floats, I've thus always assumed JSON numbers to be as well. Is this not the spec? I just store big integers in JSON strings.
This is an adage that toes the line between a deepity (something that sounds profound but is entirely trivial) and genuinely profound truth. In many cases it's worth remembering TANSTAAFL because agents under capitalism will try to advertise something as "free" when it has hidden costs (either financial, or by using your data/input for profit). On the other hand, outside capitalism it's often a trivial retelling of thermodynamics: there's no free energy, everything has to come from somewhere.

Interestingly, although TANSTAAFL can be summarized as "everything is a zero-sum game", the core tenet of modern economy is that the economy is not a zero-sum game and eternal growth is possible. So as much as TANSTAAFL has been characterized as "libertarian", it's also a refutation of libertarian narratives like "trickle-down economics" and perpetual economic growth.
Love this premise! I’ve created my blog and website on Gatsby and am experimenting with creating small targeted campaigns for each of my posts depending on the topic/theme using a self hosted matomo analytics service and a self hosted staticman service (which creates a GitHub PR for moderation) so there are no creepy intermediaries for handling data. It’s pretty surprising and empowering how many solutions are out there that don’t need you to sign up to platforms, but it definitely is a slight (but fun) learning curve.

Apart from using 30-pin and lighting I have not know this to be true in the usb era. Typically they are quite compliant but very strict, and use the standard identifiers to operate external devices rather than third party drivers.

I am making a case we should not call these environments "operating systems", they are more like "shells". Because the integration of applications (common API) in the OS happens towards the hardware, while here, it happens towards the user. So it's different from an OS, and ideally, you should be able to mix and match the environment and the OS as you wish (as you do, you said you run on a "guest" OS). Then we wouldn't care so much whether the applications are on the desktop or in the cloud.

It is for this very reason that most of my work happens within Evernote. Each note is a fragment of information, which I can easily find, organize and link. I can even attach documents to the notes, which I can edit and are updated within the note. If I could have code notes, Evernote notes that behave like Jupyter notebooks, then I would only need this app (and a browser).
Well yes, but then again no surface navy comes even close to the USN in terms of power projection capability, so it wouldn't upset the status quo in any way.

But absent a major war proving the point (or not, as it may), that's sort of how the "end of the carrier" could play out peacefully over a longer time: Improved tracking of opponent carriers (be it through satellites, drones or whatever) and improved land-based weapons forces carriers to stand away further and further, necessitating longer ranged strike aircraft. Such aircraft need to be bigger to accommodate the required fuel load, requiring either bigger and more expensive carriers, or fewer planes carried and thus reduced strike capability. Rinse and repeat a few iterations, and at some point you start thinking "what's the point of a mobile carrier since the opponent keeps track of its location 24/7, and my strike aircraft have enough range to launch from land bases anyway?"
