Not everyone can afford a 3090. But imagine even higher tiers that really only make sense for data centers to purchase. How much GPU time sits idle at home?

As much as I hate thin client-ization of everything, rendering moving offsite makes sense.
Clicking one marker on the map triggers almost 100 network requests. Seems crazy, why push all the images for all properties when I only need the first, then lazyload the rest when I interact with the slideshow.

Not sure why sorting then reloads the data, as it looks to sort the matched results that are already on page.
I don't think we should be surprised that buildings not designed for deserts perform poorly in extreme desert climates. The solution is to build structures that take the climate into account. Indigenous and Spanish colonial architects didn't have the luxury of designing around AC, so they built houses that reflected that limitation. Those houses remained quite livable without AC even during severe heat waves. A little active cooling on top makes them perfect.

Some historic cities (e.g. Marrakech and Ures) have designed the entire urban landscape to improve the outdoor situation as well. Dense corridors of high thermal mass buildings create shade, fountains and other water sources provide active cooling, and so on.
This is just backwards. Why is it good?

I can see why the developer wants it, but a person wanting something is not inherent evidence of it being "good". I want lots of things that are bad for me, and even some things that are bad for other people.

Here's the thing: In order to track version numbers, this developer now subjects its users to potential police surveillance. Even if that surveillance is "harmless" on its own, they have still made that bargain. And I feel like we're well past the point of credibly taking any given individual act of surveillance as being isolated and unentwined with more problematic kinds.

Is that bargain really worth it?
Is there a section that discusses “pain as a warning system?” This sounds great for chronic pain, but I have a hard time conceiving of how removing the immediate pain response to environmental stimulus works here.

Touch a hot stove => feel pain and recoil

People without a pain response have all sorts of problems with incidental injuries that rise in mortality since they are unaware of them. I’m guessing that the site has answers for that, because it’s such a basic objection, but it wasn’t apparent from reading the table of contents.
That's pretty much how it is, yes. The class for elite that the article uses is meaningless, a programmer or a sysadmin is not an elite in any meaningful way.

"first commit to the kernel was back in 2006"

That's not my definition of long history! My first Linux kernel was just pre 2.0 and I used make config. Actually I used make config for quite a while before it got out of hand and I started keeping copies of the config to work from instead of doing it from scratch each time I did an upgrade.

I'm not the sharpest tool ...

It's only the last 10 years of China's economy that sparks interest/fear/competition in western minds and often the press is slow to pick up that something is different.

The Soviet Union, and Japan both threatened U.S. economic hegemony, but ultimately saw growth stagnate when the economy ran out of people to throw at the growth engine.

China is starting to look like they can keep the growth engine running even in the industrialized city centers, creating new products and services which rival their western counterparts. If this continues then China could reasonably rival the US and EU on both standard of living as well as total economic power.
I've read a SF story like this once, woth effectively a caste of space going pilots and scientists that spend most of their time in cryosleep on board of ships going at relativistic speeds, exploring the universe and starting colonies.

As long as they don't have relations with normal humans outosde the caste they live quite normal lives, meeting their friends from the caste relativity often from subjective PoV, with potentially decades or centuries going one between such encounters.

Still if you say want to settle down and have children, you won't likely wont see anyone else from the caste ever again as the next time one of your friends ventures to the system you settled in they will only encounter your descendants, possibly a couple generations after your time.
The customer being able to cause a scene in your premises (in view of other customers), let alone being able to physically threaten and or hurt you is a good incentive to make sure customers have no reason to resort to such means.

You're less likely to ignore a potential bug if a customer can cause damage to your business (by causing a scene in the store or physically hurting employees) as opposed to being "contained" within endless bureaucracy and phone queues.
>90% of people don't

Thats good. The world isnt run by yoga gurus and zen monks for very good reasons. Not all stress is bad.

I don't think anyone should feel entitled to home ownership, but certainly the classes who voted for today's zoning/planning laws (pulling the ladder up behind them) are unworthy of it.
Yes, I did... It's a great question.

I think I'm a much better leader, negotiator, and advisor now. By taking the year to think about what I did right and wrong over the prior 7 years, I was able to synthesize the lessons learned and make them stick.

As a result, I'm (a) much more picky with the projects/jobs/etc. that I do, and (b) am significantly more intentional with my time. As a result, I work on fewer things but get paid more, and the things I work on are significantly more rewarding.

I should note, however, that I've always been a workoholic and enjoy working -- plus, my wife is the same -- so it makes it easier to get back into the grind.
Why impugn "capitalism" when you could have just said that the business model has negative consequences that should be addressed via legislation?

I was reacting to the non-sequitur that you were suggesting that somehow capitalism was at fault in this situation.

My argument does not preclude stratification as a concept - every competitive system has stratification by nature.

My point is that you cannot stratify people into two separate classes and then perpetually move one of those classes down into total barbarism and call it a better move than rewriting your existing inefficient system.

I'm not a believer in the idiotic communist ideology, and did not even mention equal resources in my post. Communism can burn, save for all of the people forced to live crippled lives under it. But you cannot have communism for 99.999% of people and true competitiveness for the leftover if you want a stable system. Specifically if you want a stable system.

Even if it required a fair bit, 10M is a really big number. Long term savings would be huge since the catalysts aren’t consumed in the reactions

> which is excluded by the definition of telemetry

Most users are simply incapable of understanding how the data can be used. They cannot agree to something they do not understand. What users do and how is being stolen and used for purposes that they do not agree to.

The definition of private information is anything and everything that the user does. It's not a "data leak". It's straight up theft. Telemetry, by definition, is a theft of private information.
I mentioned the CoW in the OP context of reflinks being useful for incremental backups. In that case you do want the "copy will not propagate the writes to the original" behaviour.

If GCP have fedramp high that’s roughly equivalent to AWS govcloud (fedramp high ~= IL4).

AWS and Azure also have IL6 regions (able to hold secret information).

Finally AWS runs a top secret cloud for the intelligence community. I believe Azure announced a similar project but not when it’ll be open for business.
I think getting rid of arbitration and allowing at least small claims court, coupled with an effective small claims court system and encouraging people to use it, could be very effective.

This is particularly true in cases where the actual issue is obvious and just stuck in a bog of internal bureaucracy. Now a company lawyer, who has a strong incentive to resolve the issue, access to said bureaucracy, and a certain extent of power to say "we're now doing X because The Law demands it, even if the stupid process says otherwise, make it happen" is dealing with it.

In most cases, I'd expect the lawyer to resolve it before he has to coach and send an employee to represent the company at the court, costing hundreds to thousands.

It also scales really poorly, effectively motivating companies to resolve issues before they get to that stage.
Yeah, the use of "millions of times better" just doesn't pass the sniff test. Given that current commercial methods kill 90%+ bacteria in water, thus, nothing can be even 2x better...and makes me suspicious of any claim in the article. Hopefully it can help people in areas that are currently without clean water, but I'm not holding my breath.
You could manufacture a lot of flyby drones & get quite some data, provided you craft has enough spare mass and technological capacity.

>If we both agree that more ultrasounds may be needed, then let me stop on this hedonic treadmill of producing slight increases in code efficiency or tapping new markets that don't need to be tapped, and just work on the ultrasounds.

Their in lies the "Hard Problem". The unemployed and uninsured guy can't pay for an ultrasound, but there are millions of people willing to line up for the next candy crush clone or similar garbage product. Cash is the incentive to make more ultrasounds, but that guy doesn't have it.

You can tell someone that they would feel better after volunteering or working at a homeless shelter than playing candy crush, but like you said, it is a hard sell.

It is temping to say that the government should get into the ultrasound business, but IMHO, you will just get government brand ultrasounds at twice the price. Somehow we need to make a cultural change about how individuals spend their wealth and limited time.

I'm sure the subeditor deliberately chose a headline that set up some cognitive dissonance.

But I'd lay long odds that both things are true: the Tesla autopilot does indeed make it's cars safer, and it also kills people. A similar thing can be said about vaccination: it kills people, while on average making them safer.

We've seen what a mess that situation has created for vaccines, driving the rise of the anti-vaxer movement. I wonder it we will see the rise of anti autopilot movement. Judging by some of the comments here, perhaps we already have.
Yes. And why would you want to rule the world when it is injurious to your country's well-being.

The US has spent trillions and trillions of dollars over the last 50 years or so being top-dog militarily, while letting the country itself fall to pieces both in infrastructure and socially.

For both people and for countries, there is a happy medium where one 'has enough' and is capable of enjoying a richer, more pleasant life rather than stay on the rat-race to be top-dog which leads to an early grave.

Being one of many 'poles' is far better than forever striving to maintain a unipolar world.
> So a lot of the question is: Is this cheaper/less hassle than buying stabilized hydrogen peroxide commercially?

From the article: "The team showed that as the catalyst brought the hydrogen and oxygen together to form hydrogen peroxide, it simultaneously produced a number of highly reactive compounds, known as reactive oxygen species (ROS), which the team demonstrated were responsible for the antibacterial and antiviral effect, and not the hydrogen peroxide itself."
The thing is, commercial methods can already do 4 or 5 log reduction on E Coli. I'm not even sure that is necessary usually.

I'd focus on other benefits - ie, removal of other compounds etc.
There are many wealthy societies that keep growing instead of declining, and many poorer societies that get stuck in a trap and decline. That's the billion-dollar question wrt. China that nobody knows the answer to: will they keep growing and reach a Western-like standard or will they fail to pursue the reforms they would need and get stuck with a middling average income, like so many countries in South America today?

As for the policies that worked there - Deng Xiaoping said "black cat, white cat, if it catches mice it's good cat". But today the popular thing in America is to talk a lot about the ideology of being black or white, and just forget about that catching mice thing.
I wouldn't say that it's gone because it worked so poorly. It's gone for other reasons such as technological advances shifting so much business online where this behavior is no longer possible.

I don't think it worked poorly. While we didn't have a constant epidemic of customers fighting with customer service people, the possibility of it served as an effective deterrent for overly scummy behavior (from both sides actually) and the system self-regulated.

You can compare this to the amount of verbal abuse and harassment being published on the internet. Before the internet and social media people weren't constantly punching each other in the face, because the possibility of it successfully deterred abusive behavior that would prompt such reactions. With that possibility gone, abuse increased significantly given the lack of consequences.

It's kind of like mutually-assured destruction. Nobody uses it, but the possibility of it being used keeps everyone in check.
Persia (current Iran) itself was an empire with similar ambitions to incorporate at least the eastern parts of the Roman empire. Too sad that the two most progressive systems of governance in history were in war for around a thousand years, possibly leading to the fall of both.

No. The US prioritises corporate profit over everything else - even to the point of sacrificing its hegemony.

China realized a long time ago that that is the American achilles heel and exploited it by creating long term economic dependency on them in exhange for short term profit.

(CFU/mL of E. Coli with stored H2O2) / (CFU/mL of E. Coli with catalysts) = 10M

With that in mind "millions of times better" isn't necessarily a disingenuous description. Though you might say it's somewhat misleading, since as the denominator goes to zero, the fraction goes to infinity :)

It's the equivalent of saying 99.99999999% uptime is "ten million times more available" than 99.9% uptime - um, just give me the number of nines please!
What are the signs, in your opinion? I keep hearing people say that a group of elites wants to be in control. Seems pretty unlikely--elites have better things to do than control people, the control people are lower down, or narcissists like the orange-haired guy--but even if they want it, it seems unlikely that they will get it. It just sounds like a conspiracy theory, but I'd be interested in seeing some actual claimed signs, because so far you're the first to offer to back up the claim.
Yes, spinning rust is still used for low cost storage. You can look up Dropbox Magic Pocket and I think some stuff that AWS has made public about S3.
Sounds a lot like the modern variant of Walden: https://obscuredinosaurfacts.com/blog/post/2021/06/30/walden...

Henry David Thoreau would somewhat comically fit in as a particular modern day silicon valley archetype.

“I told him, that as he worked so hard at bogging, he required thick boots and stout clothing, which yet were soon soiled and worn out, but I wore light shoes and thin clothing, which cost not half so much…and in an hour or two, without labor, but as a recreation, I could, if I wished, catch as many fish as I should want for two days, or earn enough money to support me a week. If he and his family would live simply, they might all go a-huckleberrying in the summer for their amusement. John heaved a sigh at this.”
then the firmware is downgraded again before anyone gets sued/fired or the hackers who hacked the manufacturer cover their tracks. duh.

Free intraday stock data API, no secret key required
Good afternoon developers, this is a free forever, unlimited endpoint calls, intraday API for stock market developers. If you have used the Yahoo Finance API, or the old Google Finance API, you know that there has been a gap in available free data for a while.

Styvio is attempting to fill this gap by providing intraday data, as well as historical data, absolutely free, updated every 20 minutes. The API also provides things like fundamental data (balance sheet, earnings), and news. If you are not a developer, the site and mobile app provide visualization tools so you don't have to build your own applications if you aren't interested.

The site is only a few months old, but we already have close to 200 daily active users. Any feedback is welcomed and I hope you all enjoy the free API!
I don't see how effective government protection of the internet could coexist with arbitrary connections across hostile national borders with no extradition or law-enforcement cooperation. And a lot of people really appreciate the latter, that the internet is not organized into states, and would see it as a great loss if it were.
This got me thinking about what we could and could not do if we had a magical a energy-unbottlenecker, say an infinite capacity battery with arbitrary power output.

These become much cheaper:

- Transport: synthesise fuel from CO2 + seawater. Or charge a battery.
- Water: electrolysis of seawater.
- Food grown anywhere: Light + water + fertiliser can be made from commonly available materials. Soil is a bit trickier, but I think you could bootstrap up with composting.
- Global warming: pull CO2 out of the air.
- Raw materials (concrete, metals): all cheaper to extract with free energy.
- producing medicine

Still really hard:
- making new treatments
- inflation of housing prices
- escaping earth's gravity (need bounce per ounce)
- world peace
- writing books
- politics
> Given that current commercial methods kill 90%+ bacteria in water, thus, nothing can be even 2x better

That depends how you look at it. Is it 90% killed, or is it 10% survived? If it's 10% survived, then 100m times better is a system where 10/100m % survived instead.
