Why do you think the route planner on the Tesla doesn't have the correct information? It knows the route, the expected electricity consumption, the location of superchargers, and the expected weather. It also has tons of information to predict how the car and battery would perform in that weather, and possibly on that exact route.
I don't know what point you're trying to make here. Tons of things consume more energy than they produce. Humans for one. I don't even know what 'energy' you're thinking crypto produces here, or that dollars produce in comparison (The only electricity I've seen dollars generate is static electricity). I'm guessing you're being metaphoric here, but your comment is too vague to be useful.

Not the parent commenter. I spent time using autotools long ago and developed a grudging respect for what they did and how they worked. Their design made sense, even though the system itself was quite cursed. CMake also—I never choose it for my own projects, and I hate using it, but I respect the consistency and portability.

Building JavaScript is just a fucking disaster. I’ve used a fair number of different bundling tools—Browserify, Webpack, Rollup, Esbuild, and Closure (the compiler). I’ve also used old-school concatenation… anything from <script> tags to something like “cat”. It’s just fucking awful. Stay on the straight, narrow path and you’ll survive. Deviate slightly and you’re doomed.

Making things worse, you might have two different environments you run your code in. Node.js and the browser. Surprisingly, the browser lurches ever fowards, and Node.js is the anchor keeping us in the past. Making things worse, you might try to use TypeScript. Making things worse, you might use JSX.

Nearly every JS project I work on needs a ton of babysitting w.r.t. the build system. At various places I’ve worked, there might be a team handling that for me, but if I’m working on a side project, it is very difficult to keep the complexity of the build system down to a reasonable level. Most guides on how to use frameworks will tell you to do something like “oh, just use create-react app” or similar, and you end up with a couple dozen new dependencies. Your build system will be a mix of templated code pasted in to your repo and third-party libraries. Integrating with anything else often requires various "adapter" dependencies, but it's a roll of the dice whether those libraries are built reasonably.

My basic desire is often a fairly simple list… I want front-end TypeScript code to be type-checked and bundled, I want a dev server that serves the bundle, I want to see build errors quickly and easily, I want to run tests without a browser environment. I know this is possible, but every time I’ve gotten it, it’s taken an unreasonable amount of effort.
If a million builds can break for $700, maybe those builds deserve to break. Then the million developers might actually write resilient software. Where do I send my $700??
>Highly impulsive people who lean conservative are more likely to share false news stories. They have a desire to create chaos and won’t be deterred by fact-checkers

I think anyone who has been following the inexcusably and deliberately misleading coverage of the rittenhouse trial should recognize that these propagandists are knowingly misusing the terms "fake news", "misinformation", and "fact checking" to push their politics with thinly disguised partisan propaganda from once respected outlets like this. It's disturbing to see how far our institutions have fallen, when even Scientific American is more concerned with political activism than scientific reporting.

"Fake news" is only more likely to be spread by conservatives when you dishonestly control the definition of truth. I hope people are increasingly recognizing the blatant slant in all of our mainstream media, including so called "fact checkers" who effectively collude with selective reviews to paint the misleading picture that only right of center outlets are unreliable.
“Doing their homework” means learning enough about a subject to be able to explain in details what they are seeing/feeling and understanding what the doctor has to say about it.

It’s the difference between “my poo is weird” and “here’s my temperature during the last three days and each feces according to the Bristol scale”. A doctor just telling you to shove your observations in indecent places isn’t sparing anyone’s time. They might be missing the mark or unreliable, but that’s not what the parent was talking about.

On patients that think they know what they need and won’t budge an inch, you’ll have them anyway. Recognizing and properly dealing with these cases is part of being a doctor. You won’t see many 6 yo kid naturally sold on getting intramuscular injections.

With El Salvadors requirement that businesses accept Bitcoin, I have come to believe that just about every 3rd world nation without significant military will eventually do the same. Why? Because having your countries currency pegged to the bitcoin is better than being pegged to the dollar. Pegged to the dollar allows the US and allies to devalue your currency to nothing almost immediately. Bitcoin is more risilient than this.

Disclaimer: I hate bitcoin and own none of it, having "missed the boat". But once I have visited a developing nation who's currency is constantly beat up by the dollar, and witnessing the people work 4x harder for 1/10 the standard of living, it really does make sense.

> Unless you are trying to save a buck it seems 1TB is the standard today.

I suppose part of the problem is that while getting a 1 TB SSD instead of a 512 GB or even 256 GB one may not be overly expensive (for a middle-class person in a wealthy country anyway), due to the way OEM laptop product lines are often stratified, you may need to either buy your 1 TB SSD separately or get an altogether higher-specced model than your perhaps otherwise would. The latter especially isn't cheap.

There might be some customization options but sometimes little customization is available. That's probably one of the ways people end up with relatively small-capacity SSDs.

It's kind of similar as with RAM: a higher capacity isn't that much more expensive in theory, but in practice it may be.

This is irrelevant for custom-build desktops but lots of people are running only laptops nowadays. I'd like to see better customizability for the builds, as well as upgradability and replaceability, but the options are often limited.

Well if you have two groups, 100% of whom got the vaccine, versus 0.25% or whatever who got Covid, then sure that's not unlikely. But in a few years, 100% of those who don't get the vaccine will get covid. So this isn't exactly a rational basis for making decisions.

Interesting idea. I could imagine a new password prompt with an algorithm to reject passwords that were not random enough. How infuriating would that be? What would the hint message look like: "your password must contain a statistically random arrangement of characters"
Eric Flint specifically talks about his long-term support for unions in one of the prefaces (I think) of the early books in the series, quite likely 1632 itself.

It's mostly a term for "people in the space" if you look at twitter discussions about crypto and web3 you get a lot of answers like "You don't understand it because you are not in the space. It's for web3 people." It's an easy way out of a discussion as it was with web2.0 in the beginning further ramping up the FOMO for "normies". Some weeks ago a lot of Twitch streamers got sponsorships for nft-marketplaces like https://eternal.gg/ the biggest talking points they gave creators to handle backlash was "the future of the web, web3" and that "it's for people in the space". Have a look at /r/livestreamfail on reddit and search for nfts or crypto and you will find a lot of videos of creators defending their decision to offer nfts with "web3".

This is as ridiculous as stating that bitcoin won't replace gold because dental fillings are made of gold.

This paper shows the problem with interrupted time series analyses.

Mainly, (1) there is an external shock that happened in 2020 that interrupts the historical trend in the data. This shock is probably the covid pandemic, but the time series can't really disentangle how covid impacts death rates (i.e., is it the vaccine? Is it an undiagnosed infection? Is it putting off care because hospitals are full? Is it stress? Is it something else?). In other words, interrupted time series don't really isolate the effect beyond the general shock.

(2) It is possible that a similar pattern is present in a different subpopulation that hasn't experienced the same shock. Unfortunately, I cannot think of anyone that hasn't experienced in some way or another the covid pandemic that the authors can use as a possible counterfactual for these analyses. Without that, the interrupted time series could just be an example of an omitted variable that correlated with both the external shock and the outcome and that it is the actual "root cause" of the outcome. For example, it could be that covid lead athletes practice less and become more sedentary. When they resumed their training regimens in the second half of 2020, they were out of shape leading to heart problems. I'm not a heart disease researcher so I don't know if this happens, but it could be.
Supermicro BMC passwords do that. Recently (i.e. this year) I set up a bunch of servers and was setting the BMC password to a known value.

Apparently there is a limit of 20 characters for the password. The password I set was 21 characters (which was accepted without error).

When I tried to log in with this password, the login was rejected.

However if I log in with just the first 20 characters of the password, it works.

Why is having ownership desirable on the internet? On the internet, everything can be copied endlessly and perfectly. There's no scarcity or limits.

Neither of those games seem correlated with the "Fat and Lazy gamer" trope. "Fat and Lazy" is usually associated with games with high-levels of grind, like World of Warcraft or maybe Genshin Impact as a more recent example.

Certain games suck you in and require abnormal amounts of time to feel good about anything. Other games, like Animal Crossing or Plants vs Zombies, are more casual, and have a better life / play balance.

IMO, the "dangerous" games are these grindfests, basically Skinnerbox games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operant_conditioning_chamber).

One note, first of all: I made one mistake, the algorithm is not secret in HE (the HE runtime has to know it). Only the input data is guaranteed to be secret.

I'm not sure what you mean. This is how HE works, at a high level. The whole point is that you're doing public operations on secret data on a machine that can never know what the data was, nor what response it gave you. Furthermore, the point of HE is also that you know that your data remained secret regardless of how the HE runtime was implemented, as you just send it encrypted information.

Making it more efficient by giving it access to the decrypted data would defeat the whole point. Making it more efficient by optimizing based on the actual data would allow your data to leak through timing side-channels, again defeating the whole point.

Basically, HE refers to computing schemes where DECRYPT(ALGORITHM(ENCRYPT(X)) == ALGORITHM(X). You send [ALGORITHM, ENCRYPT(X)] to the runtime, and it gives you Y. DECRYPT(Y) is then the result of your computation.

As far as we know, this is indeed hopelessly slow, and there is no guarantee that we will ever find fast secure HE primitives.
