Kind of need a way to measure peasant level income to total wealth available over time.

Over the past several hundred years the 'pie' that is total economic goods and services has grown enormously.

However, the share a median income can buy of the pie has shrunk greatly. Inflation vs median income intuitively gives a sense of this while not necessarily being scientific. But then economics is the dismal science.

Why is it non sense? Hedging is essential for managing risk and if you can't do that you will end up with less money being invested in solar.

> you are going to say that the whole court system was rigged

You're just inventing random things that I don't think and haven't said. I don't know know where you got 'rigged' from for example. That's not a quote from me or an intelligent interpretation of what I've said.

If you find yourself constantly replying 'so you're saying' or 'so you'll say' stop and think why you think you need to rephrase everything and speculate on what the other person may say rather than going off directly what was actually said in order to make a point.

I don't think you're arguing in good faith here or actually want to understand other opinions - you seem pretty intent on deliberately misinterpreting as strongly as possible - so I'll leave you to it.

It won't ebb down. Eventually we'll hit limits of what's practical on current hardware and we'll be back to the 70's and 80's when everything becomes theoretical until hardware catches on. AI is going to continue to advance.

What will happen is that capital will become more skeptical about the limits of what's feasible with AI and it'll be harder to sell bullshit. You're already seeing that with companies like Uber selling off their self driving divisions.

"so yes, one starts a company to make money but that is not the reason we have companies."

I don't understand this at all. The reason people create companies is the reason that companies exist. They're by definition the same thing - companies don't exist without people creating them. So if people start companies to make money, the reason companies exist is to make the people who start them money.

It makes far more sense to have a separation of concerns. By having roofing and solar separate you can address problems with them independently. If you combine them suddenly a problem with one is a problem with the other.

This principle applies to most things in life. Having a dumb TV and a separate internet connected streaming box, a computer with a dumb monitor, an audio amplifier and standalone speakers, etc.

Combining things typically makes their initial setup easier but in the long run they cost more and generate more waste.

On my 2017 VW, this enhancement was merely a feature flag waiting for the customer to enable using VCDS/OBDeleven. It's an amazing difference!

Another good one I found and enabled is lane change assist, which makes it so that when you're on cruise control but slower than your set point (due to tailing a slow lead car) putting your turn signal on will immediate begin the acceleration that otherwise would only occur once you have completed the lane change and are no longer impeded by a slow lead car, so you're better matched with the flow of the new lane as you start entering it.

VCDS and OBDeleven are essentially emulators of the factory scan tools that only VW dealerships normally have. Way, way beyond OBDII code reading.

It’s good to study the piriform cortex to understand memory formation / neuroplasticity, as (IIRC) it’s one of the most primitive “plastic” parts of the brain. In some species (e.g. fruit flies) the piriform cortex is the only part of the brain that changes at all after birth; i.e. it’s the only place where learning could possibly be going on.

So, even if the it’s not intimately linked with human memory, the piriform cortex may be the origin of the cellular template that later diverged into whichever other brain tissues are responsible for other types of memory.

In a gold standard the price of gold would not be 'above its free market valuation' but it would be the market valuation, taking into account its rediscovered monetary role.

In a gold standard the currency used would still be the dollar, just backed by gold, so the FED would be able to print it into the dust just the same. The money supply could still expand just as it does now to accommodate for growth, but the main difference is the rest of the world wouldn't be subsidizing the US any longer.

The argument is not that the API itself is protected by copyright. This wouldn't work anyway, as APIs aren't protected by copyright under EU law. From my understanding the argument is that the implementation of the API is protected by copyright. If the script/add-on for Blender depends on the `bpy` package (Blender's implementation of the API) and is not being able to function without out it, then it should be considered a "single program" based on the interpretation of the FSF provided in their FAQ [0]. Thus the script/add-on is derivative work and subject to the GPL license. This assumes that the interpretation the FSFs provides in their FAQ would hold up in court.

I use an i3-4370 with 32G of ECC in a Supermicro 4u case as my ZFS NAS - I got it new for the purpose and it's still running strong seven years later. The only changes I've made have been doubling the RAM from 16G, adding in new storage as needed, and adding a dual 10gbit card when I upgraded my network.

I tried a couple of 10gbit cards, but ended up getting a half dozen used Intel X520-DA2 cards for dirt cheap. I've not had any issue with these, and my NAS can easily saturate at least one link. The cards have been reliable in every machine I've tried and can be found for $75-100 - not too bad for dual port 10gbit!

As a side note, I was surprised to find that i3 supports ECC.

Quick explanation of variable fonts and how to use one
I've been using Linux exclusively since the mid 90s. I've run so many different variants. I was a attended the church of Slackware for a long time. There has never been a time in my many years of using Linux that anything has been "flawless" and I _definitely_ have to install things "outside the repositories" pretty regularly. Even if that's a broad statement meaning "any type of repository anywhere, including but not limited to git."
Not necessarily.

According to philosopher Paavo Pylkkänen, Bohm's suggestion of the quantum mind "leads naturally to the assumption that the physical correlate of the logical thinking process is at the classically describable level of the brain, while the basic thinking process is at the quantum-theoretically describable level". [1]

Factoring integers is a logic operation (thus not performed at the quantum level). But an operation like identifying an object or a smell (as it is what the article here is about) could be performed at a more deep level using quantum mechanics.

Since they're an insurance company, doing this kind of assessment is their core business.. they have every incentive to not over or under estimate it. So you're positing that they have some real numbers on failure rates that they keep secret and some exaggerated numbers they tout publicly? That would require dishonesty at a level that would ruin the company if it was found out, so it seems unlikely they would risk it.

> At this point in the US, anyone who wants to get a vaccine can get one. That makes getting it a personal choice.

> But the possibility and now near certainty of solar, wind and batteries being better and cheaper has put them way ahead in relative terms.

Cheaper, most certainly, but better, according to what metric exactly? PV has a higher carbon footprint than nuclear. Same for wind if you add storage. Both require at least one order of magnitude more raw materials (mostly extracted using fossil fuels). Land use is also an issue with wind turbines, not all countries can put them offshore. And then there's the geopolitical angle and the huge dependence on China. I know that the nuclear fuel supply chain has its own issues as well, but again the amount of raw materials is relatively small and fuel can be stockpiled.

It's not about being for or against renewables. They have a very real environmental footprint and we're past the point where we can simply disregard that.
