Every kid is so different that it really isn't fair to judge parenting techniques from a short interaction like that. Maybe they're doing it wrong, but at least consider the possibility that they know their kid better than you.

"Something that stood out: TSMC (with 55% of the global market share, per https://theregister.com/2021/06/01/q1_2021_foundry_revenue_t...) uses 5% of all Taiwan's electricity, which is approx 12TWh/yr. Bitcoin's electricity footprint is… 13 times that, at 164TWh/yr (https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption)"
> That's not true, but admittedly that information is not trivial to find right now for end users.

So, it's true for end users.

> It's a known problem, and people are working on a nice comparison of XMPP client capabilities so people can make a more informed choice.

There can't be more than a handful of usable XMPP clients in existence. The fact that "people are working" and "information is not trivial to find" speaks volumes about the state of XMPP clients.

> or for something less overwhelming

This is the reason XMPP is more-or-less dead for most users: "information is not trivial to find", "overwhelming" and so on.

Meanwhile already in 2016 Daniel Gultsch wrote what's expected of a mobile client for XMPP, and this can be easily extended to all other clients. [1]

Instead, 5 years later there's Conversations, "information is not trivial to find" and "check your server for compliance".

This is the kind of full stack developer I'd like to be. Started tinkering with electronics in earnest about a year ago but it feels like I'm a decade away from being able to build stuff like this of my own volition.
In defense of Daniel Tiger, even if it can’t fully compete with Fred Rogers while trying to follow in his footsteps, it at least explores childhood feelings in a slow, deliberate & understandable way which is more than I can say for most shows for kids. Too much frenzied action in the realm of kids’ entertainment and Fred Rogers was complaining about that in testimony to Congress long before I was born!
Even EloctronJS is more popular, I am using [NWJS](https://nwjs.io/) because it is simple and support hiding code (compile code). However, I recently found a solution to hide code in the Electron app ([Bytenote](https://www.reddit.com/r/electronjs/comments/n155qh/compile_...))

Given that the fire burned for over two years, I was wondering why they didn't drop some kind of bell over the well and piped the gas somewhere useful. It certainly seems doable within a couple of months. Of course I'm sure nobody expected the fire to resist for so long.

To do that you need engineers who can hold a security clearance. To hold a security clearance you can't violate federal law despite what your state laws say is legal. I think this is about more than warehouse employees.

For me, Linux have two killer features:

1. Native docker support which runs on the same kernel, shares the same RAM. It's better than Docker in VM.

2. Sane virtualization story. Windows has Hyper-V, VirtualBox has its own stuff, they conflict, if they don't conflict, VirtualBox runs slow as molasses, Android installs some intel hax to work in Windows. WSL provides its own virtual machine, docker provides its own virtual machine. It's a mess! With Linux it's pretty simple: everyone just uses KVM which just works. I run my Windows VM with simple bash script. Perfect!

Also I can't really claim it, but I still think that Linux works better under heavy load with slow CPU. I have very slow mobile 2-core Intel i3. I can run docker containers, Windows VM, IntelliJ Idea, Android Studio, Android Emulator, Factorio. All at once! I just need enough RAM, that is. Of course I can get occasional lag if something taxes my little CPU. But it's very usable. Unless I run Chrome. Chrome is bad.

With Windows, I can run less applications at once. I guess that with powerful CPU that's not really an issue, so I kind of handicapped myself with slow CPU, but whatever.
For asteroids that can be detected with lots of time, yes, deflecting them with time is totally the way to go. As the discussion was with bolides, I assumed we were talking in an "impending danger, no time to act" framework.

No, documents are not "about" what one feels like they're about, or what it would be politically convenient for them to be about. Documents are "about" the ideas they communicate via the plain words they contain.

The article literally says that objectivity and rigor are "harmful research practices". Those claims are highlighted in bold and header font, and they are the centerpiece of the document. Anyone can open up the document and see this.

What are the issues? Increased tax revenue for towns from outside buyers? Are these new issues that didn't exist in the black market?

I can see issues with security/robbing facilities that are cash rich due to issues depositing the cash due to federal regulations... but that's not the dispensaries fault.
What exactly are these issues and the supporting evidence?
The laptop power draw is dynamic depending on what you're doing with it, including how heavy the webpages are. But I agree that heating will generally dominate domestic use.
Well maybe it depends on who you are? Or maybe on what you use to get to Spotify (I use DistroKid). Not sure.
After months learning about machine learning for time series forecasting, several chapters in a book on deep learning techniques for time series analysis and forecasting, the author kindly pointed out that there are no papers published up to that point that prove deep learning (neural networks) can perform better than classical statistics.

From the scikit-learn faqs:

> Will you add GPU support?

> No, or at least not in the near future. The main reason is that GPU support will introduce many software dependencies and introduce platform specific issues. scikit-learn is designed to be easy to install on a wide variety of platforms. Outside of neural networks, GPUs don’t play a large role in machine learning today, and much larger gains in speed can often be achieved by a careful choice of algorithms.

Of course, there are libraries that can support GPU acceleration for numpy calculations using matrix transformations now. Nonetheless, they are not often necessary.
> On the flipside, I've met "10x engineers" who always prioritized working on highly visible and strategic new features, and excelled at shipping them as fast as possible, even if it meant racking up massive technical debt.

I start my comment with an intent to indicate that these people are not what is meant when people say 10x. (maybe it's what some people think of when lambasting "10x" developers).

If you think you're a 10x engineer: you're not, you wouldn't see yourself as better, you'd see yourself as passionate.

> Carmack could build a video games which is 100x across a number of metrics

But even Carmack couldn't crack Steve Jobs stubbornness.

Sometimes being 10x is only a matter of being free to help the best you can.

EDIT: where Carmack shows that he is well above average is not in coding, but in being extremely pragmatic and thous being able to extract good, almost unbiased, information out of every discussion, even the more unpleseant ones.

---

Part of his method, at least with me, was to deride contemporary options and dare me to tell him differently. They might be pragmatic, but couldn't actually be good.

"I have Pixar. We will make something [an API] that is actually good." It was often frustrating, because he could talk, with complete confidence, about things he was just plain wrong about, like the price of memory for video cards and the amount of system bandwidth exploitable by the AltiVec extensions.

People were backing away from us. If Steve was mad, Apple employees didn't want him to associate the sight of them with the experience. Afterwards, one of the execs assured me that "Steve appreciates vigorous conversation".

Still deeply disappointed about it, I made some comments that got picked up by the press. Steve didn't appreciate that. The Steve Jobs "hero / sh*head" rollercoaster was real, and after riding high for a long time, I was now on the down side. Someone told me that Steve explicitly instructed them to not give me access to the early iPhone SDK when it finally was ready.
No, but thanks for the suggestion. I should probably just draw the characters as best I could and head over to reddit or something.
The underlying issue may not be reflective vs. emissive, but rather luminance/contrast ratios. Here's one paper on the subject: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01698...

Basically their finding is that a very modest amount of luminance contrast (8:1) is optimal for reading, after which readability actually decreases. Which actually isn’t that surprising when you think about it. If you had a display where the whites were as bright as the sun, and the blacks were perfectly, totally non-reflectively black, it would be hard to read.

This is probably consistent with people’s experience with e-readers. E-ink doesn’t have a particularly good contrast ratio, but it is adequate and roughly in the sweet spot for reading. Whereas today’s 200:1 IPS displays score well on spec charts and are great for video and games but are arguably not that good for reading, at least for some people.
Isn't that true for any trillion dollar industry? Industries use energy whether you like it or not, and it's unfair to make such a big deal from one just because it's adopted in a different pattern than others.

Agriculture, mining, electricity, transportation, defence...all have CO2 emissions, and it's extremely hard to get rid of it.
Comments that tend to be critical of Facebook tend to get downvotes, at least early on in the discussion; it's hard not to suspect something may be going on

There is a flip side to that as well I think. One 10x developer can be more productive than 10 developers, but often 10 10x developers cannot be as productive as 100 developers. Certain things just don't "scale out" with the sort of creative advantages that highly productive engineers use.

Even "use local ingredients" doesn't really fit. Some places have that as a focus, sure, but others will fly in specialty seafood from the other side of the globe.
This is magical! This level of focus is impressive.

You have clearly not actually read the article, while the person you respond to has clearly done so. Why did you bother wasting your time? Curious.
I'm sure Elm is a great language, but thinking it eliminates runtime errors is ridiculous. Of course it might eliminate exceptions, but exceptions are not errors, rather they are (sometimes) signals than an error have happened.
I have the opposite issue here. I have an engineer still writing VB6 code and we have 20 man years of his technical debt we have to live with. He never learned anything new and he has a hammer and everything is a nail.

As a >5x engineer I generally build out the initial design/development of a project and then hand it off to a team member to maintain. I get involved only when there is a new significant feature that needs to be added.
Finnish jobs typically have a trial period like six months. It's easy to not continue from that to permanent employment / I've heard that happen in IT business. People are also regularly fired for basically company financial reasons. So I would not say parent poster is strictly correct.

From my brief readings in this kind of thing it seems like the researchers in this field have made the batshit move to come up with their own definitions of rigor and objectivity that's not the same as the one used in the natural sciences.

But, as far as I can tell, they're not advocating some sort of mystic rejection of reality (though they seem entirely indifferent to that kind of misinterpretation from their lousy jargon)
I find something similar happens when mowing the lawn. When I try to mow in straight lines by pushing next to the previous row, I end up with wavy shapes. But when I fixate on a distant reference point beyond the lawn (like a rock or weed sticking up above the grass) and just walk staring at it, I end up with perfectly straight lines. It's uncanny.

If you talk enough all the models and hyperparameters you compared and suchlike that you experimented with, you can probably sufficiently impress people with the talk about the enormous deep learning model you spent several months developing that they won't even remember you mentioning the two-clause Boolean expression that you actually put into production. And of course it's AI. You used k-fold cross validation to select it.

If the result or information presented by the most horrendous, energy inefficient, blockchain-backed, cloud replicated app results in a SINGLE person NOT traveling for a weekend, the carbon savings would completely demolish any cost for the software overhead.

/Devil's Champion Argument Incoming/: Facebook's part in effectively coordinating most people in most parts of the world to stay home during the pandemic has probably weighted their carbon ledger forever into the black. Or at least 5 years of dedicated bitcoin mining.

These green engineering ideas are interesting but taking them seriously would be the epitome of engineers optimizing the wrong thing.

The part of the article that describes the new (old?) twist is all the way at the end:

The team found that the account differed from other versions of the story in several key ways. A sexual encounter between Merlin and Viviane, also known as the Lady of the Lake, is “slightly toned-down,” Tether tells the Guardian.

She adds:

> In most manuscripts of the better known [version], Viviane casts a spell whereby three names are written on her groin that prevent Merlin from sleeping with her. In several manuscripts of the lesser-known version, these names are written on a ring instead. In our fragments, this is taken one step further: the names are written on a ring, but they also prevent anyone speaking to her. So the Bristol Merlin gets rid of unchaste connotations by removing reference to both Viviane’s groin and the idea of Merlin sleeping with her.

Merlin’s image has changed dramatically over the centuries. In more modern versions of the King Arthur legends, he is a wise advisor to the king. In the earliest iterations of the story, however, Campbell says he was a “morally dubious” magical seer or even a “creepy little boy [whose] father is a devil.”

hi, I dont intend to hijack this thread and I dont know if this is considered [OT].

I came across your post[0] about KVS from a while ago. Thank you for your work on pion and KVS.

I have in fact read the article. Your powers of mind-reading are not as impressive as you imagine.
Sure, but I'm being exceedingly generous with 60w, assuming a modern device that's about the limit of power consumption. To quote phoronix benchmarks on my machine:

Lastly, the battery power consumption varied from about 5 Watts during idling and when the screen was automatically dimmed to as high as 40 Watts under the most grueling benchmarks. On average through under load the power consumption was around 18.1 Watts.

There point of that statement is that you need data to train a valid model for your usecase. And you may need a lot of it if you are trying to train a neural network.

Using a pre-trained model only works if the usecase it was trained for matches you're closely enough.
I think it’d help if you cited some data to back up what you’re saying. Without it your claims are pure conjecture. There’s plenty of opportunity for such data to be collected because there’s data before and after legalisation in many states and countries. You could compare US states where it’s legal and where it isn’t.
The thing that bothers me about Zephyr is that their slack is only accessible if you're employed by one of the big companies, intel, google, freescale etc.

I do not believe this is true, nor has it been for quite a long time.

As a private individual I was on their Slack at least two years ago, And they recently moved to a public Discord group.
That shouldn’t be the test though. I’m not surprised that legalising pot caused issues, of course it would.

The question should be are those issues worse than the well-documented problems caused by it being illegal.
> Good luck telling the client that their P0 ticket will need to wait until next sprint

A key cause of that being a problem is stacking the entire team with a full sprint of vital work. Leave some time for issues. If no issues come up, pick up some nice-to-have tickets in the now spare time at the end of the sprint, or get started on work for next sprint.

If you absolutely must give everyone a full sprint of work every time, make sure some of it is from the nice-to-have pile so it can be put off when the surprise P0s come in (and in the absence of surprises, you get to clear off some of what are now nice-to-have bits of work but later might otherwise get surrounded by code/infrastructure that assumes they'll never happen so morph into nasty technical debt and/or their very own surprise P0). But if you try this, good luck explaining upwards why nice-to-have tickets are on the board while there are more important ones in the pile…
Originally corporations were given permission by the government to exist individually based on them serving some public good. That's why the owners were given limited liability.

"In summary, all corporations are state-chartered; given special privileges by the state, which used to be conditional on them serving some public good. Public corporations are directly owned by the public via equity shares. And large corporations are the beneficiaries of both state and federal sponsorship, which includes subsidies funded by the tax paying public." [0]

The kind of comprehensive documentation they were referring to were garbage 1000+ page documents that projects often created listing all requirements, specs, and design elements. In Waterfall and related BDUF approaches the intent was to produce this before any code. A months or years looking effort before even starting…

The point in the manifesto is to get to just enough (which is usually not 1000s of pages) and then start coding. Not to skip it entirely. The other issue with those documents form my experience was that unless it was a replacement of an existing system, the documents were wrong every time. And you’d lose more months fixing them or just continue to diverge and let them lie.

Re: your last paragraph. We’ve done that for aircraft. Ship a 50-80% solution that gets you into flight test instead of waiting for 100%. Then finish it over the next months or years. It’s very effective. You just have to be smart enough to identify what is the MVP.
