My old University powers, heats, and cools itself with Geothermal wells that are at 195F, not sure about the 300C either. (and clears snow/ice from sidewalks and outdoor staaircases) The college also sells extra power to the hospital next door. (it makes around 2MW with a binary cycle plant) https://urbanecologycmu.wordpress.com/2016/11/01/geothermal-...
The same WebGPU API can be used as a cross platform layer to do graphics, no js needed. For example rust's wgpu can just be used without a browser.
What’s the agenda here?
(Fit the description, but am very skeptical of your motives :))
No it's not.
The bore-hole is lined with a outer steel pipe until the drill hits bedrock, keeping it very much insulated from the ground.
And the upper-most part of the energy-well that's lined is considered inactive, and is not counted in the "150 m deep energy well".
The silver lining with Delta is it's such a transmissible variant that it out-competes the more slowly spreading but more vaccine evasive variants. I hope we never see a more transmissible one than Delta
What are the institute's thoughts, if you've formed them, on end-to-end encryption, especially as it applies to social media where the line between group and group-text blurs? I feel it's an incredibly nuanced topic that's become incredibly polarizing in recent days with some of Haugen's comments.

On the one hand, in favor of E2EE, companies can and will use the content of messages, if they have access to them, to micro-target suggested content to users, and this can lead to increased levels of misinformation being promoted to people who have engaged with misinformation. And of course there's the government surveillance angle, which is an entirely separate story!

But if you remove the signals in that content by encrypting in a way that is opaque to the platform, do you substantially reduce the ability to microtarget? Very possibly not, given the amount of graph data the social media company has anyways about group members independent from the content itself. And encryption gives the social media company the ability to wash its hands of any responsibility or awareness of content.

Assuming it were easy to technically achieve (which is a huge leap, to be fair!) do you think it better serves the definition of integrity you've adopted, that a social media platform have the majority of its content end-to-end encrypted, or not?
There's a difference between individual actions and a threshold where people in general stop using, relying on, carrying, subscribing to, or believing that they'll be able to reach others by phone.

I don't know what the turning point will be, though I suspect somewhere in the 50% range. As with other technologies, "phones won't be dead", in the sense that there will still be companies providing service, and some institutions relying on them. But the notion that anyone has a phone number, that if they do they will pick up when you call, and that a call recieved is trustworthy, will have been lost.

What I don't see clearly is what will replace this, though one possibility is that some new high-aspirational-group communications technology will emerge.

I'm all but certain it won't be email, as that's already following a similar curve.

I hope it won't be one of the numerous proprietary alternatives which have emerged.

I suspect that FB are attempting to position their Metaverse proposal, if it is indeed serious, in this space. In part, the absurd resource and hardware requirements would effectively limit adoption to institutions and high-net-worth individuals, recreating the exclusive group cachet that the original Harvard Facebook had (and has very much long since lost).

Significant problems include directory service (how do you reach a given person), privacy and security, abuse (trust, safety, harassment, fraud, crime), and more. It's a bit of a challenge.

To be fair to Carter, he was also a US Navy Officer in 1956 with a more distinguished career than Kennedy at 1941.

President James Earl "Jimmy" Carter graduated from the Naval Academy in 1946 with distinction, after which he was assigned to USS Wyoming (E-AG 17) as an ensign. After completing two years of surface ship duty, Carter applied for submarine duty. He served as executive officer, engineering officer, and electronics repair officer on the submarine SSK-1. When Admiral Hyman G. Rickover (then a captain) started his program to create nuclear-powered submarines, Carter wanted to join the program and was interviewed and selected by Rickover. Carter was promoted to lieutenant and from 3 November 1952 to 1 March 1953, he served on temporary duty with the Naval Reactors Branch, U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Washington, D.C., to assist "in the design and development of nuclear propulsion plants for naval vessels."

From 1 March to 8 October 1953, Carter was preparing to become the engineering officer for USS Seawolf (SSN-575), one of the first submarines to operate on atomic power. However, when his father died in July 1953 Carter resigned from the Navy and returned to Georgia to manage his family interests. Carter was honorably discharged on 9 October 1953 and transferred to the retired reserve at his request with the rank of lieutenant.

My uncle was a private pilot. He used to take me flying from time to time.

I remember him saying that it's legal to fly without a map, but it's not legal to fly with an outdated map. If you have a map, it must be up-to-date.
Appreciate the insight. Curious to get your thought here...

I do know that some investors look at TVPI and generally understand why, but isn't IRR the only thing that really matters? Philosophically speaking, you can't change the time variable - we're on a continuum - so at the end of the day the only thing that you are able to compare is how well a single dollar performs over time? I understand this doesn't take into consideration liquidity, but TVPI doesn't really either.

A lot of the best software is made by one person. Large codebases and organisations have significant inertia that make producing good stuff hard. You’ll also get greater deviation from the mean in a single developer (so a lot of the worst software is also made by one person).

There is so much wrong with this. Let's start with the apparent numbers you are accepting. Millions of Americans will die directly from infections, millions will need life support, and an additional ten million will die as a direct consequence of an overwhelmed health care system.
With those numbers it's hard to imagine a family not hit with these enormous consequences, where you seem to gloss over.

Secondary, the virus has no will of it's own, it will just randomly mutate, and if a stronger variant appears it will do so, if there are vaccins or not.
However, you are advocating to roll the dice millions time more, just because there was already a very small chance this gets worse, and you think that is a good idea?
I think this is the logical thing to do, but now there are two new roadblocks clinical trials have to face:

* It's hard to recruit non-vaccinated participants

* There will be safety issues to address on people that have received multiple shots and / or designed against different strains
> Chaillan, the former military software chief, has certainly earned his right to an opinion about how quickly the US is developing its cyber defenses and artificially intelligent computers. And now that he’s taking his knowledge of how the Pentagon works to the private sector, he’ll probably make good money addressing his concerns.

Chaillan has a lot to gain by claiming that were behind in AI as he pivots into private industry. Did this strike anyone else as ridiculously unprofessional behavior for someone coming out of the military? We don’t yet have a Military-AI Complex in the same way that we had a Military-Industrial Complex after WWII, and I think a lot of Americans are OK with that for now as we come off of 20 years of uninterrupted war.
We had lots of head to head competes with oracle when I was working at a rival big-tech company in sales. We would schedule a few calls, maybe send a salesperson on-site. Oracle would send 5-6 people across the country for an on-site discovery (seemingly, from an outside perspective) very often. They've always had a ton of resources and aren't afraid to use them, and are the pinnacle of old-school tech sales strategies.
Ask HN: A specialized search engine to find domain name addresses
As with most things of I presume this already exists.

A majority of the start of my interaction with my browser is typing in something like "Nietzsche Cafe" because I want to go to their website and look at their menu. www.NietzscheCafe.fi

So what I need is a hit to their Url: "www.NietzscheCafe.fi"

Or I need look at the prices over at "Dostoevsky Used Cars"
I search and what I want is the Url: www.DostoevskyHappyMotor.fi

I wish there was a "pre search engine" that could just find the
Url. It could be implemented that if it failed to find a hit it would pass it on to Bing/Google etc.

That would cut my traffic to Google quite a bit over time.

So less tracking and less monetization

Thats an insane conclusion imo. Weekend work being normalized leads to unhappier employees. Working longer also doesn't just mean more productivity, there's been many cases of four day work weeks causing no change.

Employees are a company's most valuable resource. A company looking to grow and innovate must take care of its employees and part of it is respecting their time.
Yeah, but this is really only applicable to VFR-only airplanes (mostly trainers). I doubt there are many people really traveling in airplanes without any sort of precision nav equipment.

Practically, it doesn't matter which direction the gyro points as long as you are receiving a VOR signal or GPS signal on a VFR flight.

And yeah, a lot in flight. By definition those gyros are gonna be old, and they cost more to overhaul than they're worth so people who are too cheap to go buy an electronic replacement replace used for used off of eBay or the local radio shop's junk shelf. They're not gonna be reliable, at all.

But, for VFR purposes it doesn't matter and for IFR purposes you shouldn't be flying such an airplane with such equipment IFR anyway, so...

The dirty secret of tech is that markets matter more than effort or smarts. If you have product/market fit and a decent technological lead in a market that is large and growing, you will do better than a company that does not have PMF or a good market, regardless of how hard you work. (This explains so much about Oracle.) Social media mentions are probably a better sign of how well you'll do than full parking lots.

I'd bet that Google & Facebook's current run-up is largely driven by inflation and higher ad prices. FB even said as much in a recent earnings call. Jerome Powell did more for their business than any employee up through the CEO did.
Not really. Many of those countries have lower proportion of college degrees than the US. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tertiary_...)

I saw 'data books' and thought of studying EE many years ago. Data books were things you got from semiconductor manufacturers detailing their electronic components.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. If it's a web API request from a web client that says "transfer $1,000 between account A and account B," then what choice do you have but to "trust" that number? Obviously you have to check whether the request is authenticated and is authorized to transfer between those accounts, and check if account A has $1,000, but what about the client origin of the request do you need to check?
The US is progressive when it comes to income tax, but if you consider all contributions to tax revenue the US is basically a flat tax system. At least that's what the book Triumph of Injustice led me to believe.

Like Warren Buffett literally said: “The wealthy are definitely undertaxed relative to the general population."

And if someone has a billion dollars or more in unrealized wealth, forcing them to realize some of that wealth in order to pay taxes on it does not bother me much.
I'm on the "if you can't tell the difference..." side, too, but the issue is the "10 tries" and the prompting. GPT-3 has no ability to revise or reconsider or judge anything it writes. We're still safe, IMO, until the main loop goes

>generate 10 "netcan comments"
>drop 5 least conformant results
>reword remaining comments several times
>reassess rewordings, select best of each set
>select 1 most conformant "netcan comment"

Right now (AFAIK, anyway) all GPT-3 does is the first one. Think about how a human is creative -- lots of drafts, lots of dead ends, lots of borrowing, lots of revision. I appreciate that "reflection on its own output" is waaaay out of scope for a glorified, omni-contextual Markov chain, but I think we're safe, both from the threat of GPT-3 being "creative" in the same way we are (and therefore, maybe "alive" in the same way we are) and the threat of our own mental processes being revealed to be as merely computational as those of GPT-3.

A lot of pesticide use on the consumer side comes from pest control companies where people have a recurring service that preemptively sprays the entire yard and house. The customer just sees that they don’t have bugs, and assumes it’s because the service is working.

For there to be a decline in sales, consumers would need to be purchasing products only in response to an infestation, but with such a service, they aren’t doing that. And the pest control company has no incentive to tell people “by the way, you can cancel the service now because everything is extinct”.
You will do great with Sales role as well. Thanks for this write up!
The problem is that even if VCs hate patent trolls when directly affected by them, they don’t actually hate patents, and in fact try to make their portfolio companies patent everything under the sun.

> The hospital system will be fine. If hospitals become too crowded with COVID19 patients; they can just start turning them away! People will come up with solutions; temporary/makeshift COVID19 hospitals, home-delivered ventilators, etc... Maybe governments can fund this if it comes to that?

If someone has a 'needs to go to a hospital' case of covid, if the disease is affecting their lungs and body poorly enough, then they will need attention from people who have medical degrees. If they are all busy working in overcrowded hospitals which are in triage / ration-care mode, who will staff the alternative care solutions you've outlined? Especially if hospital demand outstrips hospital supply?
You don't understand though. This was something they really, really agreed with.

You're paying money for a curated experience and put trust into a company that promises high, but can deliver low.

So you can work remote? Great! Why give up so much of your income to a company that curate it's content on social media?

The whole point of travel, is to experience new things. I enjoy booking airbnbs, having co-working spaces, private hotels, etc - I don't really enjoy booking it city to city with the same people, or "same group of foreigners." I value making local friends and connections - and that only happens if you go out cold, venture out, and not stick to a curated experience.

Travel is fun because of the risk, the less risk that's accepted, the more and more it becomes a beige experience.

Remote work and Travel isn't for everyone. I've lost jobs/clients simply because they were uncomfortable with me being out of the office for a while, or exhaustion.

At the same time I've learned and experienced so much that I wouldn't have it any other way, financially and mentally I've prospered so much.
What We Know About Windows 11 SE
I will probably regret this.

There is no guarantee of any relationship. You are searching the internet junk pile for artifacts that help you accomplish some goal. Your expertise helps you make this decision. If you do not have the expertise, tough shit. Use the internet and figure it out.

You could go slam them in your forum of choice, that's up to you. "Project being bad" "Complain and whine" Cmon man. I have written a ton of scientific code, some published some not, and I love helping my users. I am also glad it is very old and not in a project anyone that would "complain and whine about my project being bad to warn others".

No one asked you for a Yelp review. No one owes you a bug fix, emojis, or likes or whatever. "owe the users" "Or close the project." No no no. It is up to the user to figure out "Does this work for me." There is ZERO burden on someone who chooses to share their project.

Why is it everyone equivocates plane crashes with software bugs?! Yes! If Boeing decides to gamble lives on an open source project from the internet (!!) without vetting/testing the code they deserve everything they get! The FAA would love that story I'm sure.

It is up to the user (hopefully a developer!) to decide what works and what doesn't. This is consumerist thinking otherwise.

Would that be comma.ai? Again, caveat emptor, if you choose to drive your car with an android phone (this is 100% a conscious choice) and it drives into a house, it sounds like you're in a load of trouble! Hope you have insurance when you get sued into oblivion.

Sorry for the rant here, but I do think this kind of issue bombing / crapping on people's contributions and sharing is degrading a model of open source I particularly enjoy which is casually sharing your work hoping that someone might find a use for it.

Example: Ryan Geiss' milkdrop timer code has powered more science than you can know in my lab who insisted on using Windows to control a bunch of lab hardware. Bugs are my own.

http://www.geisswerks.com/ryan/FAQS/timing.html

That's right, I cribbed a high resolution timer from an mp3 audio visualizer to drive experiments that cost real taxpayer money in my lab. Am I going to go tell Ryan Geiss he is an idiot for sharing this when my experiment fails? Nope.

Or did you just not invest in the projects you are part of/interested in?

> "I can host it myself for $5 on DO with the same performance (for my usage)"

Yeah for sure, I know what you're getting at. Though it's not really so much about performance (there is caching) -- There's a chunk of functionality that comes with Cloud/Enterprise. The majority of this has to do with metrics/observability and monitoring tools, or access-control tools for teams.

If you check here:

https://hasura.io/docs/latest/graphql/cloud/index.html#hasur...

And look under "Features" and "Security" you can get a decent idea of what the differences are between OSS and the Cloud product.

There's 2 demographics I think Cloud stands out to -- those who want convenience ("I don't want to think about/manage my own instance"), and those who want an integrated APM tool or more security & access-control features, or are working on teams/orgs.

> Would gladly pay to support them, so I have given them feedback

This is always neat to hear! I don't blame you, with Cloud being $99 there could be potential for some future tier to fill the gap between OSS and Cloud. Like "I have some weekend projects but nothing I can afford to blow $100/mo" on, you know?

I don't know enough (or really anything) about the business side though. It could be that $99 might be the only number where it starts to make sense to offer this sort of thing, based on infra costs/complexity. Or this could be the stupid thing I've ever said. I'm not a Cloud-Scientist ;^)

Modern capitalism is an exhibition of capital's dependency on the state. Without the state, who would enforce a corporation's claims to property? (the products of worker labor, intellectual property, and so on)
