For those of you who speak German. There was a great episode of Alternativlos where they talk about details of the Wendelstein 7-X Projekt with some of the guys involved with it.

The rocket stove reminds me. I've seen lots of stuff on low tech 'improved' cook stoves for people in developing countries. I think women in those countries would be happier served with a pressure cooker and a two burner induction stove running off solar panels. All horrible high tech, but actually cheap commodities in practice.

Let me make this quick tool for the development environment.

I'm not sure what else we'll need, let me add some pre/post flexibility.

We have this useful tool let's use it for more things.

Let's standardize on this. Who wrote this? It's ok, we'll do a readiness review.

We have WHAT in production? This is going to make a crazy blog post.
That's right. The dimensionality of the tensor space depends on both the rank of the tensor and the dimensionality of the underlying vector space. A rank-2 tensor based on 3-D physical space has 9 dimensions because there are 9 distinct pairs of the 3 underlying basis vectors. In general, a rank-N tensor on an M-dimensional space will have M^N dimensions.
This is so ridiculous
Jitsi works nowhere near as well as Zoom or any other VC for me. More than once we've had to go back to zoom when it drops our connection every other minute.
Criminal charges in the US are pursued by the Government. The idea of private citizens deciding whether to press charges is widely misunderstood; District/US Attorneys can take a victim's wishes into consideration when deciding to charge a defendant (it may be difficult to win a case when the primary/only witness is uncooperative or conversely even if someone has been the victim of a crime the DA may not pursue a case because they feel they are unlikely to get a conviction) but the decision entirely lies with the Government.

Now, as you linked. Civil Tort's are entirely within the realm of private "citizens" (companies count as people too) to bring forth on their own.

Veritasium: Clickbait is Unreasonably Effective [video]
Even $20,000 is not $500,000.

The obvious answer to your last question is not that your sister and BIL should not get assistance, but that your wife should also get more assistance. We don't do enough to support people across the country. 2020 showed some rare aid to people in a reasonable fashion (at least for a couple of months). We can do more of that.

We have fiat currency after all, let's take advantage of it!
For Every $1 We Spend on Food, We Rack Up $2 in Health and Environmental Damage
Yeah this makes sense, scan everyone's phones...

Because if there's one thing the whole Jeffrey Epstein thing taught us, is that there's nothing more important to the authorities than children, and they'll do anything to protect them, no matter the cost, even if an actual prince or a current president is involved.

Oh wait, hang on. Actually nothing happened and they don't give a shit about kids.

So why do they want this again?
What motivation is there for her to falsely say she's shocked?
The Wiesel Commission was the International Commission on the Holocaust in Romania […]. The report assessed that between 280,000 and 380,000 Jews were murdered or died under the supervision and as a result of the deliberate policies of Romanian civilian and military authorities. Over 11,000 Romani were also killed. The Wiesel Commission report also documented pervasive antisemitism and violence against Jews in Romania before World War II, when Romania's Jewish population was among the largest in Europe.

Lots of non-fascist societies put less weight on unbridled individual self determination and more weight on social infrastructure to help people make good decisions.

I’d argue we lean too heavily in the direction of thinking everyone should figure life out by themselves with no external pressure. This hurts young people, who lack experience and the benefit of hindsight, and less intellectually gifted people, who may lack judgment and impulse control.

People these days indeed actively give destructive advice. Thinking of abandoning your stable long term relationship? “Follow your heart!”
Towards yourself. We live on a society. The lady at the cash register in the supermarket you visit to get your food made by the labor of other people is not a person that you might deeply care about. But when she is gone and you can't get your food maybe you would.

This is vulnerability in the societal sense: if we try to see things as they are we can all live our lifes as we do because of other people. Yet many believe they are strong independent bastions that could survive in complete autarky.

This is a comforting lie. And there are many such comforting lies. Knowing them to be lies doesn't make you weaker, it makes you stronger.

Knowing your vulnerabilities doesn't make them go away, but not knowing your vulnerabilities is a safe way to get them exploited (or find out about them in a crisis).

The thing is: figuring out your vulnerabilities always means you first have to aknowledge you have them to begin with. This can be hard. But it is something that can be done alone, if one is afraid of being exploited (which depending on your environment can be a totally realistic fear).
That is the most insane thing ive heard. Am i to pay extra for every person passing by the billboard ive designed?! Who thought this was ok?! So i could go broke if my website goes viral for the wrong reasons?! Insanity.
Go is like java minus semicolons and classes. I'd say the syntax is the almost the same but go's semantics are more simplified.

I dont think there is anything special about java syntax but agree that it's simple and consistent. Java used to not have "var" and looked really dumb by having type and constructer to be the same duplicated thing, but other than that what I hate about it was mostly java beans and accessors. The problem was the idioms, not the syntax.

"Renewable" maximalists are such bores.
One of the big weaknesses of the current US legal system is that the cost of access leaves a huge opening to ask for the moon.

Aside from the general question "is a clickwrap EULA or ToS enforcable" there are a million tiny questions about specific clauses and terms in the 30-page contracts that are stapled to everything in sight these days.

Many of them will never be litigated through, because the damages may be small or difficult to quantify, and either self-financing a case or finding a lawyer who's willing to take it on contingency or build a class-action may be difficult.

I also wonder how often the mere threat of legal action is used as a bludgeon, even if a fully played-out and fair trial would show the threat to be based on unenforcable terms. (i. e. using non-disclosure clauses to try to hide malfeasance) Easier just to back down than to spend the next five years and six figures trying to defend yourself in court.

We have a strangely quaint 18th-century model of "contracts made between parties of roughly equal negotiating power and legal knowledge". I'm not sure it makes sense to apply to companies that have spent dozens of man-years with retained lawyers to refine their contracts, then dump them in front of consumers whose legal training consists of the Saturday afternoon Law & Order marathon on channel 51.

Yes, there are some escape hatches built into the system, but every time I see "our terms of service have changed" I know I'm getting reamed somewhere or somehow.
Fast key-value stores: An idea whose time has come and gone [pdf]
The main advantage of Amazon is not the price IMO. It is the fact that I don't have to deal with driving up to Walmart/Target, navigating through the crowd, standing in the line, traffic, etc and robbing 2 hours of my day. Click and it shows up at the door is the best part of any online shopping experience, Amazon's 2 day shipment is the cherry on the cake.
The company I work for would be a great fit -- we specialize in conducting remote technical interviews as a service. It pays pretty well ($100 USD per 90-minute interview, slightly higher as you become experienced on the platform). The work is very flexible and you set your own hours, so it works for people aiming for a lower volume per month such as yourself, as well as people interested in more than that. We have some folks who work full time on our platform, and some who only do 3-4 interviews per month.

Particularly if you have the skillset for mentoring, it's likely this would be a great fit for you.

If this is the kind of thing you (or anyone else reading this) might be interested in, send me an email and I would be happy to talk further about it! My email address is in my profile.
I get that this is missing the point a bit... but this effect looks more like something you could add in post-processing, photoshop, or after effects, and not something you really need in your 3d engine.
Re clothes dryers - many Americans don't have much choice. Most apartment buildings in the US prohibit drying clothes on the balcony (to avoid giving the impression that poor people might live there). And some towns and neighborhood HOAs prohibit outside clothes lines even for residents of single family houses.
Zoom doesn’t support screen sharing on Wayland, except through some propriety Gnome API.
It also doesn’t run at all for me on sway, just crashes at startup.
The (tl;dw) money quote of that video:

> Today there would be, you know, three protests, and the losers would sue the federal government because they didn’t win…

I think this was speculated over a year ago. Similarly to lab theory. Animal is still to be found. As is the hard evidence to any theory.
Yeah, Croatia is already turning into a country-sized tourist trap. It is really a shame considering how beautiful the area is.
> Compare America and the EU. In the spring of 2020 aggregate working hours in both economies tanked. America then passed gargantuan stimulus packages, while European governments chose more modest measures. The recovery in working hours since then has been only marginally better in America—not much extra labour for a lot of extra cash.

Does this take the difference in automatic stabilizers into account? There was probably quite a lot of extra cash injected from the stronger social net in the EU.

Eg https://www.nber.org/papers/w16275 says "In the case of an unemployment shock 47 percent of the shock are absorbed in the EU, compared to 34 per cent in the US."
>We should also acknowledge that there are different kinds of software systems. If I was working at Coinbase or on Payments at Stripe I might have a different perspective.

It all boils down to this at the end of the day. There is clearly some level of tradeoff between control and velocity, and there are valid business cases for setting the dial just about anywhere on the spectrum.
I think you've misread the quote you provided. The quote says they're writing "about" disinformation, not writing disinformation.
The list of supported platforms for FPC is pretty impressive[0], whereas LLVM support in FPC appears to be very new, and FPC has very limited platform support using LLVM anyways[1]. LLVM really means nothing for FPC's portability story at this point, as far as I can tell.

I'm skeptical that targeting C opens up any meaningful additional platform support beyond what FPC natively supports. Even relatively new and/or niche architectures like RISC-V and Xtensa appear to be supported by FPC.

(C code also isn't perfectly portable by any stretch of the imagination, so just having some random C compiler for your platform of choice and some emitted C code doesn't really guarantee that you'll end up with a compatible, working solution.)

I've never used Lazarus or FPC beyond just opening it up and playing with it in years past, but it is interesting how much that ecosystem seems to offer.

> if not for the inertia of gzip/zip

I think that's misidentifying where's credit is due: LZ might not be the most efficient compression format when it comes to size, but it's very efficient computation-wise when compressing and decompressing, and this still holds true today even when you consider newer algorthms like Zstandard (which uses a derivative of LZ). Sure, if you need to archive data into its compactest representation at any cost, LZ and derivatives won't deliver it, but unless there's a significant change to how computing works it's still in LZ's favour. At the time DEFLATE was designed, LZ just beat out every competition since realistically you can't run decompression at real-time using minimal memory.
When I was growing up, every suburban street had multiple kids on it. The whole Wayne's World thing where they play hockey in the street and move the goal when a car comes -- kids actually did that. And of course every kid had a bike and could ride to some other kid's house. So a kid from suburbia could reasonably expect to have someone to hang out with, nearly all the time.

But, you know, this is Hackernews, cars were always evil, and we have always been at war with Suburbia.
Investing in hardware companies has not been as fashionable though.

At my university the computer science + electrical engineering student councils protested so persistently that the university gave in and banned zoom across operations. I guess not every university was so lucky?
This would only be implied if gradient descent was the only way to write machine learning.
I'm not sure that I understand your point. I don't consider something worse just because it's called a war, and I don't mean to suggest in any way that this isn't a real and serious problem: in fact, I compared it to pollution, and I consider pollution to be a serious and urgent problem.

I just feel like the war metaphor is not great: it evokes unnecessary violence and connotes confrontation. We wage war against each other, but we can solve serious problems together. Neither war nor problem-solving are zero-sum games, arguably, but not everyone can win in war.
I often read online as “on the web” and on-line as referring to algorithms that are supposed to incrementally produce their output based on an input stream of unknown length, eg an on-line algorithm for estimating medians.
There's a pretty big gulf between software / OS interoperability and data / protocol interoperability.

Think about cars. You can take a vehicle manufactured for US market and take it to, say, Japan, but it won't be a smooth experience. Being in an environment so different requires you to (for want of a better word) "emulate" your way to adaptability. Cars in US have the wheel on left-hand side. Cars in Japan have the wheel on the right-hand side. But modulo emission limits[ß], their engines and transmission systems are mostly interchangeable.

The final product, the car, is analogue for software. The inner plumbing, the components that make the product actually offer its functionality, is analogue for data and protocols.

ß: Yes, I know. There are a whole lot of other requirements and regional regulations to consider too.
Also, some people actually develop the so called "broadly neutralizing antibodies" and become immune to AIDs as a consequence.

There have even be experimental treatments where HIV infected patients who also got Leukemia got treated with radiation, and then a stemcell donation from someone with such an immunity. And they are indeed cured (for practical purposes, there are some details...). Unfortunately, those donors are rare and the radiation therapy etc is probably worse than the chronic antiviral therapy, which is why this is not a more common treatment for HIV.

Of course, inducing these particular antibodies has been the goal of various immunization efforts. Unfortunately this proved more challenging than it might seem.
On one hand, with the cost of a university education in the US, doing this analysis is rational. On the other, as a society and an economy, we give up so many indirect benefits by filtering out degrees that don’t have a high ROI or even a first order negative ROI.
How much money is needed?
Too late - I grew up going to stay with my grandparents at Pag a lot during 90s (during the war and after) - I remember the streets were so empty we would play football. Forward to early 2000s and I remember car jams 4km long for some random low-key event in a fishing village (ribarske večeri). These days it's not worth going to any tourist areas during season anymore, everything is overcrowded and the infrastructure isn't built to support that much people (roads, parking, water supply/sewage treatment, restaurants).

Late spring and early autumn are still gorgeous.

If you rent a boat it can be a bit better, but even then it's a hassle with marinas, etc. Just avoid the peak months IMO.
Teams lets you share an application window or your display(s).
Not only that but the West must also regress, that is correct. That is pretty much obvious once you have accepted that current growth is unsustainable and has been for a long time.

But we can (and probably will) keep pretending, that's fine, it will just be more and more "to late" and we'll cause more and more irreversible damage.

There is no green growth.

Heck, I shouldn't care, I have no children and a comfortable life. Let's keep playing music until we sink.
Increase interest rates.

Rezone for more density.

Allow building with less red tape.

Government incentives to build.

It can be very easy if there's the political will. Look at what China did when they built all those empty cities... which are now pretty much filled.

If we built 30 million new housing units in the next few years, I guarantee you the cost of housing would decline significantly. If it's profitable to build, builders will do it.

Unfortunately the US government has been more keen on supporting housing prices rather than lowering them.
> the transition to modern romex with push in receptacles saves tons of time and effort in the part of the job you spend 90% of the time doing

If you will excuse me,

<cheap quip>

it is also case that the transition from toilet breaks to peeing in used soda bottles is adding crucial minutes of productivity to the Amazon warehouse worker's day.

</cheap quip>

I think the different experiences are two sides of the same coin: an increasing proportion of the working class are seeing a relentless pressure to optimise productivity in a way reminiscent of Taylor's Scientific Management. Where the setup needs the worker to be listened too, such as your light manufacturing example, this results in cumulative improvement. Otherwise, the tendency is to allow the workplace to become nakedly exploitative.
> if your team runs public web servers, then you need to listen on ports like 80 and 443 while requiring root

How common is this case, really? I'd expect most public-facing services, even really high-scale/'special' stuff, to really be instantiated inside a private network (VPC or suchlike, scoped down to just that service if you're lucky) and not internet-accessible, fronted by public-facing load balancers listening on 80/443 that the service team doesn't need or want to control. AWS's ALBs and various equivalents definitely allow for that. In such a situation there's no need for the internal port that your service hosts listen on to match the external port (though having root on those boxes may be desirable for many other reasons).

(of course, if your public web servers are the load balancers themselves, that is different...)
Also the win condition of the government and government forces was to keep order in all of Afghanistan, guarantee the rights of women, and generally promote economic progress.

The Taliban's win condition was basically to inflict just enough damage the former condition would be impossible. Their troops are not far removed from criminals themselves: they loot, rape and torture.
I think I finally got it now. I set myself up with roadblocks preventing me from seeing the tree in a forest.
After learning what delta time (and variable timesteps) are, I finally understood what the core issue (frame rate independence) is and why you need a fixed timestep for it.
Do government people use iphones? What do they use?

I'm curious how they ensure their own security and how Apple's plans affect that.

I’d argue that laziness is worse in security/privacy situations than malicious intent. At least malicious intent only exposes me to Zoom and whoever they answer to. Their laziness, however, which would probably also reflect itself in other security situations, exposes me to them as well as basically the entire world of black hat hackers.
Any application allows remote screen recording is basically a trojan horse.
Report on global trade. Race for stockpiling production inputs
An induction hob with a single ring/burner takes anywhere from 1.3-1.8 kWh of energy. It's almost impossible for the type of person that would benefit from a rocket stove to have access to a solar setup which could generate that much energy. Moreover, most of the time these families/individuals are impoverished enough and/or live in places with bad enough infrastructure that even gas for a gas stove isn't available. In these situations, biomass rocket stoves make the most sense.

(Cooking actually takes quite a bit of energy unfortunately and is probably one of the hardest human activities to make carbon neutral. Luckily there's a lot of low-hanging fruit to tackle first before the question of cooking efficiency comes up.)

Expenses don't change with city size with a few exceptions. Housing being the only one they look at, which I think is fair. With housing costs removed they say -

It was turning into tourist trap 20 years ago, the last time I visited. I think places like Italy or Greece offer more for same money (or even less). For balkan experience, Montenegro is a fine less spoiled option (depends on location obviously).
DC wiring is already standard in many office buildings in the form of power over Ethernet (PoE). It powers access points, lighting, and infrastructure, and high power variants can do 100W+. Since it's under 50V, the IT guy can install it without a qualified electrician.
High power loads like motors and heaters will continue to require AC but I see no reason why small loads can't use PoE. I would love to see it take off for residential use, especially for IoT stuff.
