You cannot prove the future, you can only guess it.

But memory will not become faster and therefore CPUs cannot become faster, no matter how many cores they have.

Now there are only bad compromises left in optimizing CPUs that lead to other weaknesses like meltdown.

That combined with peak lithography is when you know the tech has peaked. Game Over!
The alternatives are either fully open repositories (although a slightly motivated programmer can easily view the source of any extension) or a walled garden a la Apple app stores. Am I missing something here?

We just need to produce 3-5 times more nuclear reactors than we already have to satisfy all current power demands of human civilization with a significant reserve.

Doesn't look an impossible task to me.
> isn't it better if the solar panels all end up in large installations where they can benefit from economies of scale

The opposite: the closer you place production and consumption the better. Less energy wasted in transportation, less costs for infrastructure maintenance, less risk of widespread outages.

However, decentralizing access to solar energy goes against the interest of energy companies, the gas industry, the nuclear industry and, consequently, the political class.
Extensions have sandboxing and permissions but to be able to do anything moderately useful you need access to literally everything.

For something as basic as an ad blocker or a theme loader you need full access to every page.

Some people go to instagram for fashion, but that is definitely not all women nor just women.

It’s a very interesting thought. I personally am not a robotics expert, but it seems to me there are two obstacles: loading the arm with enough sensors and encoders to detect outside feedback reliably, and the speed of learning iteration (limited in the real world by physical laws etc).

> it's inferior, but it's always better than a superior version that I don't have access to.

Yes. Machine translation is like that, too. It makes mistakes and can be hard to understand and easily misunderstood, but compared with the time and effort required to learn another language, or the expense and bother of finding a human translator or interpreter, it clearly has its advantages.
Good call, thanks!
Explanation for your downvotes: you misunderstood GP's post, he refers to removing the concept of null as it is currently specified from the language, not removing null values from data.
>Some people view piracy as the opportunity to "try something out" before buying.

I have met precisely one person in real life who does this, and he was far enough on the Autism spectrum to receive a government-funded integration aide for the first 6 years of school.

Every other person I know pirates because it's easier than acquiring the real product, they can get a pirated version before the official version is released, or they just simply want to save money.

I personally pirate because I can't be bothered looking through 6 different streaming apps to see which one has Terminator 2 on it. Apparently I'm not alone in this regard; piracy has started to rise again since everybody pulled their content from Netflix.

Yes, it's just anecdata, but I would be shocked if more than 5% of pirates intended to purchase genuine copies of the media they actually liked.
I'm not sure you're familiar with straw man arguments. I know the drawbacks of hydrogen, and for example, I don't think it makes sense for personal vehicles like cars.

OP started a though experiment where we think of a new technology chain where energy is abundant and irregular. In this setup hydrogen might make sense because its energy intensive process is no longer an issue.
Did you find out why? Tried mitigation techniques?

My fact memory is working relatively well (passive recall/recognition much better than active recall/production) but my autobiographical memory is almost non-existent. It's really bothering me.

I stopped consumption of disjointed media on social media-like feeds (only exception: HN) because that was worsening it to no one's surprise. Maybe a full digital detox to the extent work allows is in order?

What else could I try?
I wouldn't worry about this too much. The Commissioners they swear an oath you know. An oath to be wholly independent, so we can rule out this having been them serving special interests or anything of the sort.

We are probably using the wrong kind of battery for grid storage.

There are some promising techs out there, like Liquid Metal Battery:

One problem is that the uncertainty around hackers can lead to a toxic accusatory culture. I have seen multiple games where the high level (but below pro) gets bogged down in accusations of hacking; is someone genuinly more skilled or using aimbot (one is more comforting than the other). People giving up on a match because of some percieved inconsistency in the movement of someone on the other team etc. Or cases where someone is genuinly hacking but others not believing it "you're just mad" because of all the false positives.
As an adult, I tend to pirate or buy knockoff goods precisely when it becomes more of a hassle than buying the real thing.

For example, having to go through every streaming app to work out which one has the show you want, or buying a piece of hardware sold by an American that hasn't even thought about logistics to any country that isn't the USA.
Well.. we have commit messages for this
Where can I buy the brain steroids?
It's extremely rare to need to store months of energy at grid scale.

Wind power works really well in winter as well as summer. In many places solar works sufficiently well in winter given the lower consumption levels due to lower air conditioning usage.
You don't, because there is a special case for AWS and Azure, this is mentioned earlier in this thread.

If you set up your own virtualisation environment, then you're subject to those rules. However, you can work around it by separating out the machines that runs Oracle into its own groups of physical machines.

It does mean that deployment of Oracle software is much more complicated, since you can't use the regular environment. You also need it to be as separate as possible unless you want to have a long discussion with Oracle's lawyers about how to interpret those clauses.
why the heck didn’t Ken, Park or James drop Lee in it? Are none if these behaviours illegal or the basis for legal action? why protect him?
I don't know what happened there, but some things in cookiengineers posts does not add up. There is no "BKA Heidelberg". The BKA has three offices in Germany, and Heidelberg is not one of them. Also, the BKA will likely not investigate in such a matter. It is doing large scale investigations crossing federal borders, like organized crime or terrorism. It is not working on local crime cases on the described scale. This is done by "normal" local police.
"Would you ever imagine the manager of a firm making a statement publicly in opposition to his board of directors?" - Mario Savio, quoting UC President Clark Kerr
When this works 10 of billions of dollars of media can be cheaply dubbed.

You are talking English media to billions of new people, and massive libraries coming back to English speakers.

And dubbed way better than anything at the moment. You can mess with the speech to lips. Not just movies, also things like Khan Academy.

This is something that should be Moonshot.
Public funds? Citation needed. Are we even talking about the same company?
I think it’s just endemic to the industry. Even on high budget work with full time project managers we’ll find the subs on site working from an ancient drawing superceded months ago, or a sketch made on a wall by people discussing an issue. A good foreman is worth their weight in gold.
> Keep in mind that the 1.5 GB number is the total amount of RAM you need to have a good time using the operating system, not the amount consumed by the window manager alone.

That's why I said apples to oranges initially, but you're right, I could have clarified that part.
in india, piracy is not seen as bad unless its some bigshot movie star who calls it a "heinous crime" that a user enjoys their movies and they arent getting paid.
anyways, i have never paid for a windows license. maybe back in 98 days but never after that. we use cracks and it used to be sold for a dollar or less.
get an iso, copy iso, copy crack and thats it.

people here have a problem accepting foss because they see windows as free so what benefit is switching to ubuntu?

about media. until few years ago, you could only watch movies in theaters or on cable tv. shops would resell torrented movies for few cents a pop because that is at most what people were willing to pay. i am not going to buy an original DVD 6 months after launch for $ 30 if i get screener for $0.2 dollars next day of launch.

its not about "robbing" the company, often purchasing parity means $10 is a days manual labour wages. paying $99 for a windows license used to make no sense when they already paid not more than $200-300 for an entire setup or a laptop.
> The Internet never delivered on its promise.

The internet is what brought you piracy.
Maybe its reverse psychology by competitors
I have been professional developer for 20 years and am currently trying to teach my kid programming, so let me give parent's perspective.

Boost-style "programming" environments. I estimate this is good for kids somewhere between 4 and 6. Mine was 6 when I gave a robot (not Lego) that is being programmed this way. He just learned to read 2-3 months earlier.

The tracked robot could make preprogrammed sounds, flash lights, move forward and back, turn left or right in place, open and close a large claw in front of it, detect it hit something with the front or back of it.

He was done with the robot 3 days later.

I tried to extend the fun with the robot by giving exercises and showing tricks (like how you can make it run in a circle, how you can program it to continuously drive around room and bounce off of obstacles, etc.)

We switched to Scratch and he has been happily occupied with it for the past year.

We started with making some simple games and then progressed to full on debauchery in Minecraft. I caught myself spending couple of hours testing fun ideas in Minecraft.

We also have Lego robot (51515), and it is programmed in Scratch, but it seems he prefers fooling around Minecraft much more.

So here is my absolutely subjective summary:

Lego Boost (and similar) is probably fun and probably very helpful to get a kid into programming. It is so simple that you don't need to spend a lot of time explaining to the kid, and that is a good thing, most kids at this age don't like anything that requires a lot of explanation before they can start.

But be prepared to give them something else right away because it is very possible they will outgrow it quickly.
>, the traits that they suspect leads to this are

No, you can't use the phrase "leads to this". It misinforms the reader because that's not exactly what the researchers wrote. We need to be super pedantic about this because they found correlations of personality traits but did not make the leap to say optimism, etc were the causes. For your linked article:

>"The findings suggest that superagers have unique personality profiles," Rogalski said, noting that they stood out for their optimism, resilience, and perseverance – as well as active and engaged lifestyles, marked by pursuits like travel, reading, and ­positive social relationships.

There may be another hidden confounding variable that leads to both the optimism and the superager memory performance. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confounding)

E.g. the same researcher also wrote about rare Von Economo neurons (VENs)[1] that exist in higher quantities in the elderly that don't have early dementia and Alzheimers. They don't know if those rare VENs are present at birth. This means it could be an candidate confounding variable that causes both the optimism/resilience and protection from dementia.

So, maybe natural selection works like this:

Smarter elders -> more successful tribe (more food, more territory, better group-fitness!)

It's only explosive when mixed with air in confined places, as is gasoline, LPG, CNG, steel, wood and flour. Unlike most others, confinement is a requirement, otherwise it escapes too quickly. See [1] for comparison.

For these reasons I suggest we should produce and store methane, though hydrogen issues aren't a showstopper and hydrogen fuel cells are more efficient.

How many people stopped pirating when Apple made it extremely easy to buy music for $1? Remember when you were forced the buy the whole album for just one song?

The biggest issue is and always will be accessibility and ease of access and these two are hindered by outdated global licensing agreements.

If you sell be a DVD with DRM that takes longer to start playing than a copy I downloaded. I will download it. If you force me to watch unskipable 10 year old ads before I can play my purchased DVD I will pirate that movie.

"And thus not flood people who dislike a thing with ads promoting the thing."

But isn't that what these ads are about. They want to show the people who dislike a thing with ads promoting the thing so that hopefully one day they will like it.

Sure it could make you hate it more, but unconsciously or whatever, you will be affected.

I see ads for shoe brands I don't like or care about, but for sure, the next time I need to buy a pair of shoes, that brand name is on top of my mind.

>Let's hear your evidence in support of the claim that libera.net ISN'T likely to be owned by Andrew Lee.

Where is this coming from?
This is my experience. As a teenager I pirated about half the media I consumed. Now that I have a modest income I legally consume almost all my media (books, music and games), except for uni text books and scientific articles that aren't available through any of my libraries.

I tried following my linear algebra course using freely available materials and/or 2nd hand text books, but constant "new" editions and access to online study portals made 2nd hand books impractical.
Yeah, precisely. In that case I'd only buy what I need. If there are multiple sources / alternatives, I'd buy from the one that advertised the least. If they all advertised equally, I'd probably ask people I know which one they found the best and research on the best alternative.
Yes my friend, maybe it’s just you that dislikes ads. Maybe you’re totally unique and alone in the universe with that opinion. Maybe, maybe.
Somewhat unrelated, but as a Notion lover and engineer I was so relieved when the team added native inline LaTeX support to the product.

I think that the cynism here is fully supported.

Was anybody prosecuted by the infamous 2007 attack to an ambulance in Baghdad shown by Wikileaks, (oh, yes... Manning of course. Silly me. I almost forgot)

Was anybody jailed for the men and woman and children burnt alive by the "strictly forbidden under international laws" white phosphorus in Fallujah? noope

Were the systematic bombing of hospitals and civil buildings in Gaza, Pakistan or Syria investigated?

Was somebody prosecuted by what they did to Omran Daqneesh and his family?.

Or by the annexation of Crimea?

I could spent the next hour enumerating cases of war crimes written in flashing neon letters, solved with a path in the shoulder to the criminals. Is a fact that war crimes go often unpunished when commit by "the good guys".
To clarify: Tests as I see them and described them above do not need to stop when the software is shipped. They are meant to run indefinitely and can continue also long after the software is shipped, and independent of the environment in which it was developed. For example, I found several mistakes in released versions of GNU Emacs with test cases that repeatedly do the same thing, over and over, until they reveal a crash or memory leak. A few examples of this approach:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=496

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=576

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=726

Fuzzing is a useful approach and does reveal many issues with software. As I see it, the fact that fuzzing already tends to reveal mistakes in software is a good motivation to strive for methods that yield greater coverage based on systematic exhaustive search, so that also mistakes that occur in very rare situations are reliably detected.

Not the person you're replying to, but - I mean, I can (and did) buy a car for $30. No, we're not missing a zero there.

That's what democratization means - it doesn't mean driving down the costs to some fictitious level of 'technically I could meet the loan payments'. Democratization means I can fish one out of the trash, and have it so reliably built in absolute terms that it still works pretty well.

Real democratization happens when something is in "beg borrow and steal" territory. And I mean that in a profound way informed by the literal meaning of that term - the ability to break the rules, fudge the requirements, break the law, and just generally cheat your way into being able to do something you don't have the money to.

If you're trying to fly cross country, you really just have the option of paying an air fare. That's it - either you have the cash, or you simply can't fly. But if I need gas money for a cross-country trip; I can steal gas; I can borrow some from a friend, I can mooch, etc, I can beg strangers at a gas station for a little bit - somehow I can weasel my way into having something which I can't officially afford.

It's parasitic, but it relies on a host so ample, so resource rich, that "rats" can make a living there. That's real democratization - when the truly poor can get in on something because there are ways to make it happen that don't have an implacable, mandatory requirement of money.
EnntityFramework in .NET core is actually very good for an ORM that allows you to get right into the weeds of your queries if you need to. LINQ was ok, but entityframework is a lot better, no rubbish gui layout and the relationships are explicit and can be specified through object annotations right down to the level of controlling the table column collation.

If you have bounced disappointingly off ORMs like I have since the 1990s, EntityFramework is a great step forward.
I find Scala a bit of an anomaly though, yes it was created by a university professor, but it was clearly designed for mass adoption - even down to the curly braces (although they are backtracking that decision now). I have lot of sympathy for this approach, but I think it has also been the underlying cause of many of their problems.
