I don’t agree. We already have alternatives to oil, they’re just more expensive in many cases.

In the 00s, we pursued biofuels (ethanol, biodiesel, bioplastics, etc… which has problems but does still replace some uses of oil) and on-shore wind aggressively.

In the 2010s, we developed battery electric vehicles, grid storage, solar, and off-shore wind.

I suspect this decade we’ll see hydrogen steel and ammonia production, battery electric flight, and chemical carbon capture. Another decade of this and expensive methods of oil extraction just aren’t very feasible, so if the price spikes, people will just switch to alternatives faster or even start synthesizing carbon neutral hydrocarbons (ie via electrolyzed hydrogen, direct air CO2 capture, and Fischer-Tropsch).
I think we'll have smarter AI shifting through those legacy codebases of the future, not sure if that'll be a big problem.

The way I see this, GitHub Copilot and the like are true next-gen compilers, translating English into code. They'll only get better with time.
Xiaomi has in past shown extremely innovative solutions. Just look at the battery life they achieved with mi band (3 months vs competitors 18 hours, are you kidding me??).

So while their software is basically adware and like all Chinese companies they are probably controlled by CCP, we must acknowledge that they also have some really bright engineers.

It’s arguable that Mental health practitioners end up cultivating parasocial relationships too. Particularly if they have to earn a living from selling their services and therefore “fixing” a person leads to a drop in income.

Another reason why healthcare should be socially provided. You want your mental health practitioner like your judges - free from money worries so they can exercise their judgement truly independently.

It's interesting to compare time-series graphs of doses/(100 persons) for various nations. The USA had an inflection point in mid-April, at about 60 doses per 100 persons. I don't know the ratio of single-dose vaccines to double-dose vaccines, but assuming the latter to be in the majority, this suggests that the eventual coverage will be in the range of 60%.

By contrast, Canada seems to have hit an inflection point in mid-June, at about 90 doses per 100 persons.

In Canada, about 13 percent of persons are under 12 years of age, and the vaccines are not permitted for them. Therefore, in rough terms, the pattern so far is indicating that essentially every eligible Canadian is likely to receive the vaccine. Linear extrapolation based on vaccination rates over the past 10 days suggests that this result may be achieved in under 2 months. Naturally, linear extrapolation is a problem in a system like this, but the Canadian data are not sufficiently past the inflection point to justify nonlinear regression.

The Canadian story is being played out in several other countries as well: inflection points occur somewhere above 80 doses per 100 persons.

As in so many things, the USA is exceptional.

Graphs, as of today, are at https://imgur.com/a/hANzuWt, based on data from covid.ourworldindata.org. (I don't want to post my website where this graph is auto-updated daily, along with case data for various nations, plus provincial data in Canada and state data in the USA, simply because it is on a server in a research group that cannot withstand hackernews-scale traffic.)

The Case for Climate-Change Realism
What’s happening here is that Tesla doesn’t want to give you a $1500 “chip” for $200. People who buy the 10k package still get the upgrade for free. People who just subscribe for a month don't. I don’t really see a way around this. If you want FSD then you pay for it. If you don’t want to pay 10k to have it for life then pay 1500 plus 200/mo. That’s essentially the terms being offered here.

I could be remembering this wrong, but I'm pretty sure proxmox + zfs doesn't let you roll back to a snapshot that has child snapshots. If you're coming from vmware (or probably virtual box, I honestly can't remember), then the ability to be able to jump back and forth between any snapshot and branch off form there easily is really convenient and a bit jarring to loose.

So, basically they got no data, and had to assume the worst.

But I also think that this doesn't mean much.

This would be even more difficult to achieve than previous attempts (e.g. in the Linux kernel [0]) due to the fact that an attacker needs to corrupt thousands of repositories that are guaranteed to be part of the training set.

Potential attackers would have two problems: 1) getting malicious checked into many repos and 2) making sure that these repos find their way into future deployed versions of GPT-3/Codex/CoPilot.

CoPilot generates enough vulnerable code as-is [1], so the extra effort isn't even required.

Go ahead? There is no technical reason why Google can't serve you ads. You are not using DOM filters and we've already established that your DNS filter has no effect on YouTube. Google is choosing not to show you ads

Eww, that'll break every time YouTube changes their ui. None of that is necessary. youtube-dl works with pretty much every video site, does not require a wacky setup, and it tracks YouTube changes pretty much instantly. It also works with playlists, entire channels, etc. You'll spend years replicating all the little features like quality selection, subtitles, etc if you use shell scripting for that.
Cool.

Project Manager: Now add 3 checkboxes, one being 'N/A' and when you select N/A the other checkboxes are disabled and unchecked. And update the labels, and have additional form sections showing depending on which checkbox is displaying.

Probably not that difficult, and probably a bad example, but with React/Vue/etc. it's a lot easier to deal with complex states than manually manipulating the DOM.

From experience trying to be clever and anti-framework ends up just creating another framework that's worse in every imaginable way.

No problem. I’m big on privacy myself, so my business is also.

> Article is poorly written, but it sounds like this only affects people who didn’t pay for FSD, and now want it. So the title is exactly wrong.

The title is correct in that these owners paid for hardware they were told was sufficient for FSD. Now they are being told that isn't the case and they have to pay more for /more hardware/.

No one is disputing having to pay for the software upgrade, but requiring a hardware upgrade makes it pretty clear the previous hardware was not as capable as it was advertised to be.

Increasing solar and decreasing oil are largely independent. History shows that when we find new energy sources, we keep using the old and add the new.

Solar allows us to keep doing some things that oil powers, but we would stop using oil at some point, limited by pollution killing too many of us, running out, or choice.
No, the 10k wasn't charged until the last year when all new cars had the hardware upgrade, but nobody should pay for FSD until it's out of beta.

Do you believe copy-on-write friendly garbage collection

Besides being the author of Fullstaq Ruby, I am also the author of the first copy-on-write-GC-friendliness patch for Ruby. Consider the fact that it took ~5 years for the copy-on-write-friendly-GC feature to find its way back to upstream Ruby.

If you lived in 2008, would you be willing to wait 5 years in order to save 33% memory?
The article mentions a problem is the mesh goes down and they rely on volunteers to fix it. Furthermore the “volunteer” who installed required a $50 tip to come out. I get why this is so much cheaper but without an organizational structure with people paid to come fix stuff you will always have situations where stuff is busted. Plus as more non-tech, non-ideological folk get connected they will abuse the volunteers when they come to help just as people do with any tech support, and volunteers are under no obligation to assist if they get annoyed. I think a formal non-profit structure with employees will be required to make this work. If the goal is an under-the-table donation at fixed prices then this can work as a tax dodge for informal employment (which is also interesting) but again, this isn’t a sustainable model.
I know this sounds bad, but the addiction aspect can be mitigated by living life and being in positions where you need to quit smoking numerous times for whatever reasons.

Very neat! I'm also working on an (open-source/core) app for running SQL against any data (copy-pasted stuff, data files, logs, HTTP responses, other SQL requests) and being able to script and graph as well.

A difference might be that the goal I have for DataStation is to aid more in data exploration (but not being limited to smaller datasets like this site points out Google Sheets and Excel are). Some optimizations like streaming all data (and streaming through scripts) are currently out of scope and that will definitely limit the scale DataStation can handle.

It's primarily to help out the case where you have a bunch of different data and you want to join/filter/group and graph the result for some business/product/engineering executive team.

Yeah I agree. I was trying to be a protonmail customer, but there was just too much friction.

In addition to the subpar UI, I was trying to import my (admittedly large) gmail mailbox into Protonmail, and it just did not work. I let it run for days, had to restart it, repeated the process for weeks, and after about 4 weeks I just had to give up…

It’s a shame because I really appreciate the security aspects of it, and the fact that they’re a small company / underdog.

But there’s just too much friction.
Amazon has a one-year guarantee reseller program, at least here in Europe. It consists of third-party sellers and you can further drill down to check their reputation.

Yup, the CPUs are around half the speed of those in a Pi4, and around the same or a bit better than a Pi3. The RAM is much bigger and better than a Pi3 (16 GB of DDR4), and also bigger than the biggest Pi4. You can run a real GPU in the PCIe slot and a fast SSD in the M.2, so things that use a lot of I/O rather than CPU tend to be pretty snappy. The gig Ethernet also works well. So does ethernet on the Pi4, but Pi3 is a bit lacking.

RISC-V CPU cores equivalent to the Pi4 were announced around 1.75 years ago and the way these things go are probably getting to the stage of working test chips right about now, and boards in the first half of next year.

Obviously the price is much higher than a Pi, bit it's not out of line with x86 PCs (just a low slower). If you're actually working professionally on RISC-V software then the HiFive Unmatched is affordable, and enough more productive than the current alternatives to be worth it.

Later in the year, the BeagleBoard BeagleV "StarLight" will have the same CPU specs as the HiFive Unmatched for $120 (4 GB RAM) to $150 (8 Gb RAM). That's still above Pi prices, but much closer. It will have I/O closer to Pi specs than PC specs.

RISC-V is still in its infancy, but progress is rapid.

For Russia? Being able to rebuild the Soviet Union. Just look at Crimea, or read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics which is essentially a playbook of what Putin has done.

For China? World domination for Han Chinese, nothing less. They are taking over entire countries by "debt relief" aka loan sharking, and leaders who don't want their "investments" simply have their assets taken away by force like the Philippines.

Both can only follow through with their plans if there is no united opposition against them. Europe is falling apart on a national level with nationalist, often Russia-backed anti-democrats spreading discontent and hate, and the US is collapsing in ethnic and class war.

Even the term “fossil fuels” is an inappropriate framing of the chemicals involved since it restricts their use to burning. Consider the processes involved in their formations: organic material grew for eons millions of years ago. It then had to be buried in just the right conditions and later embedded into even further beneficial conditions. It took millions of years, high temperatures, and high pressures to go from plant material to these complex molecular forms. Then we dig them up or seep them out with fracking and further refine them. Then we burn them. Huge losses of energy all along the way. Using oil as fossil fuel is a huge waste of the energy it took to create those molecules.

I wonder if defining a virtual table (https://www.sqlite.org/vtab.html) and just doing

INSERT INTO t (...) SELECT ... from virtual_table

would be any faster.
You can go even faster if you can organize your problem such that you simply start from a copy of a template SQLite database each time (it is just a file/byte sequence).

We do SQL evaluation for a lot of business logic throughout our product, and we have found that starting from a template database (i.e. one with the schema predefined and canonical values populated) can save a lot of time when working in tight loops.
