Climate change has a very simple and efficient solution, that can even be popular: a Carbon tax, where all revenue generated from it is redistributed through a UBI or negative income tax.

It's certainly got the same vibe. I certainly don't want to begrudge Einstein credit here. If you have the dubious honour of knowing physics and German, then reading his work (e.g. [0]) will leave you in no doubt that he was a shining exemplar of this principle.

He does get a ton of stuff misattributed to him though.

All 128 bits are usable, it's not limited to just 64.

A total length of 64 bits would be too small for the eventual size of the internet. Our choice was between deploying something with too many addresses or something with too few addresses, and the former is by far better than the latter. We do not want to be going through another IP family transition to increase the bit length again, so we need to get it right the first time.

v6 mostly just took v4 and made the addresses longer, so I'm not sure it's reasonable to describe it as bloated. About the only thing it actually adds over v4 is SLAAC (and IPsec, but that was immediately backported to v4).
Ya. Two more possible "hydrogen" paths are ammonia and methane.

One future perfect scenario, say year 2040, is to generate fuels with the anticipated excess electricity. Colocate some kind of carbon capture next to every wind and solar farm. Use some for fuel. Pump the rest back into the ground.

This seems like retaliation for the success of their previous acquisitions of instagram and whatsapp. GIFs are not a money maker, and almost anyone could build a competitor to giphy without hassle. There's no secret sauce, none of their content is protectable, and there's no moat that can protect whatever advantage they have. Plus it sounds like their business was already under duress, so why block an acquisition for any other reason than spite or incompetence?
react has little to do with html. it just calls functions, what you see in react-dom isn't html either, these are nested document.createElement(...) calls. this can be configured for any platform, web, native or otherwise, so <mesh/> in this case is just new THREE.Mesh(). in react terms it's called a custom renderer.

the other thing you say, that react is bad for animations — r3f operates outside of react, there is no overhead, it actually quite easily outperforms threejs. but there are many other benefits, it will usually save you lots of code, and it can be more memory efficient, see this thread: https://twitter.com/0xca0a/status/1426924274527477764

the biggest advantage is the component model, because it allows for a true eco system, something that threejs does not otherwise have due to the lack of a common ground. and interop. every react library can now act on meshes and materials.
Yes. Last time I checked, water used for rice growing amounted to 8% of all water use in California, and all household / urban use was also 8%. It is madness to grow rice in a desert, but that is California water "management".
Actually, IPv4 address can be mapped to the IPv6 address space and routed across an IPv6-only network; you have stateless NAT gateways at the edges. That allows network operators to manage a single-stack network while still giving users an IPv4 network. 464XLAT adds one more component to the picture, which is a stateful NAT gateway that allows a network operator to provide limited IPv4 service without giving each user a public IPv4 address. For reference:

I've built "vanilla" Three.js projects, and worked with react-three-fiber. It is incredibly useful.

Having a new set of "primitives" that map to three.js objects and being able to render them in a React application makes so many things easier. It's also just way less code to write compared to standard three.js.

Alternative take. The 'haves' would get rid of the have nots because the have nots are the biggest risk to their continued existence. And in one fell stroke also solve all those issues. Why bother will billions when a few million slaves will do?

Seriously though, this is all just wishful thinking, it isn't going to happen. You, like all those before you will die, probably at an age well below 100. And by that time you'll be cynical, old and tired, if you're very lucky not even disease ridden.

The biggest medical breakthrough in the field of life extension was doctors washing their hands and a couple of vaccines.

It's very funny to call those that don't believe life extension should or will happen irrational. I think you have your parties mixed up. Thinking about something does not automatically make you rational, nor does thinking that something should happen.

Pessimists are usually right, and optimists usually make things happen.
According to this article, I think I rank as an optimist - I tend to trust people, feel that we can solve the problems before us, etc.

But I'm listening to a book right now called The Ascent of Humanity, and it makes some interesting points about the philosophical axioms of the arguments presented in this article. Namely, the argument is that the technological approach - inventing our way out of problems - is doomed to failure over the long term because it creates an accelerating treadmill of required progress in order to solve the problems it creates. This is reflected in economics by the requirement that our output will continue to increase (otherwise debt doesn't work).

I now look at articles like this a bit more skeptically because they assume that technological progress is necessarily good. For example, what argument could be made that painted longevity into one's 90s as a bad thing? Well, we spend an enormous amount of human effort keeping people alive for the last few months of life. At what point is it not worth it to keep people alive any more? Perhaps culturally, we need to become better at coping with and accepting death.

I haven't made up my mind on this, because the case against technology leads to some pretty bizarre conclusions. But I find it worthwhile to consider.

It's not an ad hominem, it's an attack on his credibility. He does not assert it's impossible to engineer a virus without markers he points to two reviewed studies saying known techniques will leave telltales. Like I said, it's evidence against lab leak but not conclusive.

His entire argument is very straightforward. Zoonotic origin is highly plausible, has caused previous SARS outbreaks, has no evidence against it. Lab leak is possible, though it has no precedent and there's evidence that makes it less likely. There's no conclusive evidence for either. The balance of evidence and history leans heavily to zoonotic. There is absolutely nothing anyone has said in this thread that he didn't directly address nor anything that weakens his argument. Anyone on the lab leak train right now is basing it purely on bias.

you can't express a 3d scene with markup alone, that is why VRML didn't succeed. the JSX you see just masks function calls, it is not XML or HTML, but the true power is in components and hooks (useFrame, etc). a r3f component is self-contained, it will even subscribe to the render-loop. click into these two examples to see the difference: https://twitter.com/0xca0a/status/1426924274527477764
Show HN: Shoe String Server
Like many of us, I use Kubernetes in the workplace, and actually quite like it.

Unfortunately though, it comes with a fairly large overhead in terms of resources (primarily RAM) to using it for personal stuff.

As a result, I've created this collection of scripts and notes for setting up a VPS to run containerized applications in a low overhead manner.

I don't really recommend using this at a company, it's more meant for side projects.

It's only partially documented, but it is happily running ~6 separate sites right now, and is a massive leap forward from my previous setup which was basically a set of bash scripts that invoked `docker run ...` plus a bunch of tedious manual steps for ssl and proxy config.

I'm hoping that it isn't hyper-specific to my use case, and can be generally useful for others, but we will see :)

If you'd like more, there's plenty out there about the harms of gambling addiction. One can argue that adults should be able to ruin their lives as they please, but I think there's no excuse for letting adults exploit children in ways that can create lifelong harm.

ICEs have abysmal efficiency and the hydrogen supply chain already suffers from high losses.
Just to note, technically you can buy resin with money (you can replenish your resin with primogems, up to 6 times a day), but it's not very cost efficient so you're generally better off using those primogems on wishes. And like you said, you eventually run out of things you'll want to spend extra resin on.

> have you needed any non-vertical ops that are not in that list?

Yes indeed. I rarely using SIMD for vertical-only ops, for such use cases GPUs are very often better than CPUs.

I’ve already wrote an example in my previous comment. It’s possible to emulate with the stuff you have, however _mm256_blend_pd is very fast instruction, a single cycle of latency. The highway’s emulation is going to be way more expensive. You probably compiling your UpperHalf() into _mm256_extractf128_pd and Combine() into _mm256_insertf128_pd, that’s 2 instructions and (on Skylake) 6 cycles of latency instead of 1 cycle.

6 cycles instead of 1 cycle is a large overhead in that context. That particular small matrix multiplication is called rather often. I only optimizing code when the profiler tells me so. For the majority of CPU bound code in that project, Eigen’s implementation is actually good enough.

I’ve searched the source code of that project (CAM/CAE software). Here’s the list of the shuffle intrinsics I use, some of them a lot: _mm256_blend_pd, _mm_blend_ps, _mm_blend_epi32, _mm256_permute2f128_pd, _mm256_permute_ps, _mm256_permute4x64_pd, _mm256_permutevar8x32_ps, _mm256_permutevar8x32_epi32, _mm_permute_ps, _mm_permute_pd, _mm_insert_ps, _mm_movehdup_ps, _mm_moveldup_ps, _mm_loaddup_pd, _mm_extract_ps, _mm_dp_ps, _mm_extract_epi32, _mm_extract_epi64, _mm_shuffle_epi32.

A similar list for this project https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac (a GPU-centric library for 3D and 2D graphics, not using any AVX): _mm_shuffle_epi8, _mm_alignr_epi8, _mm_shuffle_epi32, _mm_shuffle_ps, _mm_addsub_ps (that one is vertical but still missing from highway), _mm_insert_epi32, _mm_insert_ps, _mm_extract_ps, _mm_extract_epi16, _mm_movehdup_ps, _mm_dp_ps. BTW the project is portable between AMD64 and ARMv7, I have tons of #ifdef there to support NEON which differs substantially, there’s stuff like vrev64q_f32 and vextq_f32, 64-bit SIMD vectors, and quite a few other instructions missing on AMD64.

Even if you expose all the missing horizontal stuff in highway — won’t be much better than intrinsics. Such code ain’t gonna use AVX512 when available. Only going to inflate the software complexity for no good reason, by adding an unneeded layer of abstraction between the application’s code and the actual hardware.
Sticking with periods was impossible, because many of the resulting addresses would also be valid DNS hostnames.

The huge problem with BEVs vs fossil fuels is weight. That's mostly irrelevant for personal cars, but it's a showstopper for freight. I have no idea if hydrogen is any better, but batteries can only approach the energy storage capacity of fossil fuels at the theoretical limits of what is possible (and certainly not with Li).

This is one of the reasons why I don't believe global warming can be addressed without accepting significant economic contraction: it's impossible to transport the amount of goods we transport today without burning fossil fuels.

Yes, that was confusing: 'The' first-sale doctrine is about exhaustion of the rights of an IPR holder though (as you correctly state); a consumer can resell because the creator of the IPR no longer has power over the goods.

My off-the-cuff proposal would be 'a' first-sale doctrine that would exhaust the rights of an IPR creator by preventing them from being transferred. To a [further] third party. This mirrors 'the' first-sale doctrine.

Of course 'a' first-sale doctrine is just a protocol related to a first transference - in the case you reference that's transference of goods to a consumer, in my proposal the transference was of IPR rights to a manufacturer/troll/company.
