Fair point. But Nano doesn't have sufficient liquidity to be used for payments. You can barely move $50k USD worth of Nano without moving the price 0.5%.

In comparison, you can move around $100 million USD worth of Bitcoin until you move its price by 0.5%.

The general idea is you can make methane that's equivalent to the methane that comes out of the ground, but in a carbon neutral way. So it's a benefit if you can give it someone who was going to burn methane anyways, like to run their natural gas furnace.

That's not as satisfying as just plain sequestering the carbon somehow. I mean, it would almost certainly be better to just run an extension cord to a neighbors house and let them run an electric space heater or heat pump off of the excess electricity.

Maybe methane could be used as an ingredient to make something else that's possible to store or bury long term, like some kind of plastic or liquid? (Most of what I know about the processing of hydrocarbons is probably wildly inaccurate because I learned it from Factorio.)
I like writing bugs. You learn a new thing every time you fix one of them.

Boeing's initial response to the 737MAX crashes comes to mind as well.
You can get that same effect today, just work in the same stack with the same libraries for years and you will learn exactly how everything works. Just need a stack that doesn't do breaking changes that often.

If programming worked like the more manual jobs like plumbing then you'd work 5 years on a stack before they'd call you proficient at it. But nowadays you work 2 years before changing jobs to another stack, and after 5 you are expected to manage people and no longer write code. So the problem is mostly organizational and not technical.
During the early part of my career I decided to just not write bugs. Was the best decision I made, I've saved myself countless hours

At the time of Nixon going to China:

USSR was a formidable power and nuclear war was a real threat. The collapse of the Soviet Union was beyond anyone's expectation.

Both sides of the strait insisted on there being just one China.

Taiwan was heavily armed and every man must serve in the military. Not only could they fend off any attack, they actually harbored hope of eventually recovering the mainland.
I don't understand this. The whole point of the p2p system is that you vote with the software you have installed. If people want to remove oligarchs that control the system they can simply move to a different kind of software, leaving the oligarchs with little or no value of their coins.

In fact that was the whole selling point for me of cryptocurrencies. Anybody can join and shape the system by agreeing on the type of software and creating a system that can be easily shaped (through software) instead of a system that is quite hard to shape (current financial system).

Have a look at local storage provisioners. There are plenty of them

They give you raw access to storage without redundancy. Which is great if your workload on top (like https://k8ssandra.io) already is redundant. Whilst making sure workloads stick to where their data is stored

I think it's for a few reasons:

Stigma: Much like the phrase "remote work" had 5 years ago, there is a stigma around the 4 day work week e.g. for many, it's a synonym for "laziness"

Fear: if a company switches to a 4 day week, most believe the customer output will suffer. This has been shown not to be the case however [1, 2, 3]

Culture: Although it's improving, I believe there is still a culture of "work-hard / play hard" in many companies (especially those which are VC backed) - a 4 day work week is the antithesis of this

My solution to such "risks" is to put things into aliases or shell functions. Or, as a more general advice: know your scripting language(s). For example:

perl -e 'print scalar localtime 1700000000' returns the readable date and could be the start of a script to do even more with such timestsamps, e.g. converting log files passed on stdin.
Most of my bugs are the result of the wrong punctuation. Get a period instead of a comma after that array element, it's head-smacking and squinting time again.

Written human language is much more forgiving. Just periods and commas are enough most of the time. But with computer languages, it's most of the keys on the \*&#|}|"|{:"?><,./#$(! keyboard.

Ong bak was the real movie reference to use for tree climbing.
Why? It should increase low-skilled wages since you're removing a chunk of low-skilled labor supply. It'd reduce rents by a little since the housing stock remains unchanged but demand is reduced, but the effect is probably small. Bad for the economy overall but these two claims seem pretty straightforward.
I think it still works quite well. On the contrary, polarization was boosted when platforms started to appoint favorites and actively promoted and disincentivised certain content. Made people angrier of course because they were treated unfairly.

So if we see regulation, especially content regulation, polarization is likely to increase as long as not every dissident gets banned.

How network latency is at the heart of CAP and how we found a way to defeat it
#16 is something video games taught me, particularly Path of Exile. In PoE resistance are a flat multiplier to incoming damage. Eg monster does 100 damage per attack and you have 60% resistance then you take 40 damage.

The interesting thing is that the higher your resistances the more effective each additional percentage point of resistance is.

Let's say a monster does 100 damage per attack.

If you have 0% resistance and increase it to 5%, then your incoming damage went from 100 to 95. You take 5% less damage than before.

If you have 75% resistance and increase it to 80%, then your incoming damage went from 25 to 20. You take 20% less damage than before.

It is pretty unintuitive until you realize that you need to focus on the remainder rather than the other part.

> That and the fact bookmark may ends up in a removed page, orphan link.

Except in the immediate short-term, keeping a tab open doesn't really fully help in that regard, though – even if the browser doesn't autonomously unloads tabs, sooner or later most people will eventually need to restart the browser and/or computer for updates, old pages are eventually evicted from the browser cache, and so tabs suffer from link rot just the same as bookmarks do.
This only works in theory.

In reality sometimes access via an API is way too slow or is lacking flexibility.

And I don't get this: "(e.g. if you have multiple applications writing to your database in transactions then you're virtually guaranteed to get deadlocks)"

Isn't this why transactions exist in the first place?

Very cool project. I'm currently reading The Alignment Problem by Brian Christian on AI (very well written and easy to read), and also (very slowly) My Great Predecessors, Vol 1 by Garry Kasparov. This is a great combination of the two topics!

I'm particularly interested in the second neural net that generates explanations. Is it only a neural net to generate the natural language using artifacts from the original engine net, or is it actually inspecting the state of the engine net to derive the insights?

It's an interesting application of explainability of AI algorithms that Christian talks about in his chapter on transparency. In particular, he discusses "saliency" of algorithms (knowing what parts of the input were most important in producing a prediction) and "multitask nets" that output multiple predictions (so, maybe here, one output is the best move, and another output is the explanation).

The writeups are fantastic reading. I see almost no sources in common with the bibliography in The Alignment Problem (which has a 50 page bib) which makes them nice complements. Only common citations I could find were Sutton 1988 (Temporal Differences) and Silver et al 2016 (AlphaGo), 2017 (AlphaGo Zero) and 2018 (AlphaZero).

There's a note (44) from chapter 5 entitled "Shaping" where Christian talks about "meta-reasoning: the right way to think about thinking. When you play a game–for instance, chess–you win because of the moves you chose, but it was the thoughts you had that enabled you to choose those moves...Figuring out how an aspiring chess player–or any kind of agent–should learn about its thought process seemed like a more important but also dramatically harder task than simply learning how to pick good moves." This note might as well be direct inspiration for this project. It goes on to quote Stuart Russell about "a computation that changes your mind about what is a good move to make...reward that computation by how much you changed your mind...so you could change your mind in the sense of discovering that what was the second-best move is actually even better than what was the best move." That's in the context of a cautionary tale where only optimizing for those "changes of mind" doesn't necessarily find a correct outcome, and that you have to "arrange these internal pseudorewards so that along a path, they add up to the same as true, eventually." This sounds pretty much like the task of a coach.
I'm not going to claim to be a BGP expert, but as I understand it the way BGP propagation tends to work makes it a pretty global thing just in terms of how the router hardware handles stuff, which makes it unusually tricky to avoid.

I don't disagree about the general problem mind, I just have a feeling that fixing "don't push configs globally" for BGP specifically is unusually complicated.

Do we take Facebook away? The same problem will appear again in the next big social media network.

Facebook is just a platform, it isn't like there are a bunch of evil people sitting on a computer finding the most vile pieces of content and showing it to you.

It is what people seek, facebook just facilitates it. I am sure if google was to do similar studies on what people search for and how it affects them, it will see similar results.
> The deeper concern with an outage like this isn't how many people switch to competitive services or how much money we lose, but what it means for the people who rely on our services to communicate with loved ones, run their businesses, or support their communities.

The messaging between Facebook and media outlets here is so consistent (Facebook's services are critical communications infrastructure, people get hurt when they can't use them) that I wonder whether Facebook was actively pushing that message during the outage to get media to focus on the impact on people's lives (such focus being overall positive for Facebook, by showing how important their services are to people) rather than the failure.

I just don't buy it at all though. In terms of person-to-person communication, the friction of replacing Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram is insignificant. Where I live, Messenger and WhatsApp are the most popular chat apps by far, and are used for everything from personal communications to ordering food to business negotiations. During the outage, people didn't wring their hands and despair at not being able to communicate. They just used a different app.
Cauldron VTT
A free and open source virtual tabletop (VTT) for Dungeons & Dragons 5e. Unlike many other VTTs, this one focuses on being an actual tabletop simulator instead being of a 3D/2D fantasy game engine. The result is a simple and easy to learn and use VTT, while still having all that is needed to run your RPG online.

This is my choice usualy:

==== Light duty ====

- Just screw to drywall (no anchor)

- cheap hammer-in anchor for concrete and hollow bricks (cheap plastic anchor and special screw with "one-way thread" that can be quickly hammered in like nail, but still can be tightened and/or (un)screwed like normal screw if needed)

==== Heavy duty ====

- Expanding bolts for concrete

- Molly bolts for drywall

==== Super heavy duty ====

- Chemical anchor in concrete or bricks
If they manage to avoid all of the current "hot button" issues, then the discourse around some of the things that they do talk about will have to be heated up, until there is suitable angry controversy.
That American obsession with the founding fathers always puzzles me as a non-American. France is in tis 5th Republic, the second since WW2. Germany went through a lot of Government changes since the 18th century as well, as did a lot of other countries in Europe. With the exception of some wierdos nobody puts those long gone governments on a pedestal.
Alternative take is that education has been anti-maker/anti-doer and it has been so for a long time.

Time-shifting. If you have a good way of storing it you could generate methane during the months when you have surplus solar power and use it in winter after you've depleted your batteries and the sun is not bright enough.

Probably (over) insulating the house is the most efficient way of minimizing energy loss. But then does an over-insulated house get overly warm in summer or easier to cool?

The air-sourced methane could be used for things that are hard to electrify/de-carbonify, and could reduce the use of ground based sources.

I'm wondering at what level of carbon tax it makes more sense to extract the carbon from the air to turn it into plastic than to use ground-based oil.

This is an excellent, well explained article. For most of the small companies I work for, database hosting is treated like a utility so we end up using RDS etc. The benefit of arranging your own k8 database setup is outweighed by the cost of maintenance. On one hand it's nice that it's one less thing to worry about, on the other I miss this kind of deep nerdery.
No transactions across shards is a bummer as well. Feels like planetscale might not be the best choice for small to medium projects, despite their improvements in developer experience.

Sure, it's a continuation of 'why', I called the subject that headed it 'why' after all. But a lengthier explanation of 'why' that describes 'how' the contained code applies to the problem I think can be called 'how'. I really don't think what we call them matters much if we agree on what they should contain.
Man, that acronym is just...absurdly perfect.
Stop pumping C02 into the atmosphere and massive reforestation (not directly for binding C02 but to give moisture into the air which gives other plants a chance to grow for them self's and strengthen the ground)...in short, try to reinstate nature as it was, because we little humans cannot do what nature did for millions of years (washing and binding C02 out the atmosphere and into the ground).

The point is on "millions" of years. We really went too far and there is nothing we can do to "revers" it, for the first time in ~100 years humans will have to adapt to nature and not the other way around.
Not sure if you are serious or not, but I agree with that statement. Of course you cannot write completely bug free code, but practicing competitive programming until I could write complex 100 line programs bug free in 10 minutes is probably the most well spent time I've ever done in life.

Being able to write big bug free chunks means that if I think of something I want to do, then write the 500 line implementation without even compiling or running the code it tend to work the first time I run it. Of course that code isn't production ready, but it helps immensely in writing prototypes and mapping out problem spaces. So when another person does their thing and implement 1 solution, I've written 10 different solutions testing a lot of different architectures and picked the best one.

Edit: I think the biggest win from doing this is that although writing code is the easy and effortless part, debugging your code afterwards is extremely mentally draining and takes away mental energy you could be using to think about architecture etc. Think like this, how much high quality thinking have you wasted on debugging your code? Now imagine if you with a little bit of deliberate practice could eliminate most of that waste, wouldn't you do it?
Amazon had a goal of selling every product in the world. It's the end of that IMO. Facebook does much the same — it'll advertise anything, almost without exception.

Selling everything invites people to extend "everything" in thereby place anything under an Amazon/Facebook logo. Letting anyone place anything under one's brand is not a traditional way to maintain brand value ;)
