These Truths (Jill Lepore)
An Introduction to the Mill Build Tool – Oliver Mélois
Hydro cannot power current food transports from Spain or tractors for making food in Sweden.

That infrastructure will never be possible at scale because battery energy density is too low.

Trains will eventually become the primary transport but they can't replace trucks the last mile.

Norwegian oil and gas discovery has peaked, exctraction EROEI is going down VERY fast and that is accelerating.

Only Russia has any conventional coal, oil and gas left in the proximity.

Reduced? I guess that's why they built Nordstream 2? Why do you think Germany has not started using Nordstream 2 yet?

> giving up games to write boring tax software instead

I don’t believe tax software actually needs people with game development background. The GUI is relatively basic, the code is not terribly complicated nor performance-critical, but probably needs niche skills like SQL and finance.

However, there’re huge areas of software with both problems and technologies being rather similar to videogames. These areas include CAD/CAM/CAE and many other non-gaming 3D graphics applications such as VFX and medical imaging, HPC, robotics, low-level multimedia, computer vision, some parts of AI/machine learning, professional audio, some parts of embedded, some parts of mobile.
Herd immunity counts nothing against delta or omicron. The endemic state, a permanent balance between immunity vaning and reinfection, that's not herd immunity. Natural immunity is just as temporary as vaccine immunity, give or take a few months.
Given that it has cost around $11 Billion and has taken 13 years, but has around a 60 year life span (much longer than older ones) and then the costs with decommissioning, how long will it take to be economically worth it? (let alone make an operating profit or be environmentally beneficial)
If you had said ”tech debt typically isn’t as big a deal as engineers think it is” I would’ve agreed with you, but ”tech debt isn’t a thing” is hyperbole to such a degree that it stops being helpful, never mind true. I realize that the former is not as pithy. And I think you agree, given your last paragraph.

For example, I’ve seen companies where tech debt has made them unable to meet the moment and fail, whereas if they could’ve delivered something better, quicker, they might have had a lot of success.
The last few years have caused me to be a skeptic. I cannot take anyone at face value any more because the world has become so polarized that it is like people are willing to type anything to make their point stronger. At this point if I do not have intimate knowledge on a subject, and what I do know doesn't match what I am being told, I should be skeptical.

So if you find what I have to say ignorant and unhelpful, so be it. My words are not here for you. If you truly have a life experience with Q then I am sorry to hear that but please understand I cannot blindly accept what you say (As I don't expect you to accept on faith what I say).

So maybe I am in the magic land where the Q never travels, or maybe this whole Q thing is blown out of proportion. I do not know but my ignorant anecdote may make someone else like me ask the same question of why they don't know any Q either.

Just a small comment: you can do things to ensure that the period of a PRNG is longer than a certain lower bound for any input seed. For example, if you make the state-mixing function depend on a 64-bit counter, you'll ensure that the period is at least 2^64 (assuming the state-mixing function is reversible).

Why did they censor her posts and block searches of “tennis”? Why did the government “disappear” her and write fake emails pretending to be her…?

I'm not sure how to explain the difference in experience here. Python 3's built-in string encoding support has been a source of endless pain to me, and Lua's belief that strings are byte arrays has been much easier to deal with.

>Russia’s used gas to threaten/pressure their neighbouring countries for 2 decades now.

Like the US uses financial system to threaten/pressure countries all around the globe since Bretton Woods? Every country has its own tools to promote its interests.

And funnily enough you often hear that Russia "pressures" countries in the form of simply demanding payment for already supplied resources, finding middle ground in the form of political solutions with countries unable to pay a fair market price, refusing to supply more than agreed by prior contracts, or simply by having a nerve to select a route for transportation of its resources.
Well we obviously have no control group for this question, but the predictions have been off the charts wrong in the past whilst the impact of the restrictions appear to have been overstated.

Of course this is a subjective view, but this is almost becoming the accepted narrative in the UK. As of today, we are not getting further restrictions because SAGE and the modelling has been discredited. They are screaming for more restrictions and escalating to talk about millions of cases per day, and our politicians are (rightly, in my opinion) putting them back in their boxes.

The more interesting point is that this time we may actually have data before restrictions. When cases begin to fall without further restrictions even with the more transmissible omicron, I am hoping it will be the final nail in the coffin for credibility of the modellers.
The newer Chromecast(Chromecast with Google TV) has a redesigned Android TV interface with a smart remote. The older chromecast you didn't really have any interface to interact with it aside from sending a signal from your phone to control it remotely.

In this case I believe the above commenter was just implying to use your home PC as your Media server, install VLC on the Chromecast with Google TV, and then play the media back on the Chromecast via the Network share.

I think there is often this mixup in academia between "consciousness" and "conscious experience (of the world)". Jhana is a highly manipulated state, after all you have to train for a long time, and learn how to set up the conditions of the mind just right to be able to access jhanic consciousness. It's not easily achieved by most people. That said, one of the features of jhana is that the deeper you go, the less the mind fabricates experience and presents it to consciousness. External objects fade, sensations fade, thoughts fade, and yet it's an intensely conscious state. I don't think this goes against this theory, as long as you make the caveat that they're talking about having conscious experiences of the world, rather than generalising about consciousness and altered states of consciousness, although whether they believe that themselves, or agree at all, I don't know.
the problem starts when google, apple doesn't provide easy way to control domains app connect to. It would be nice if they provide firewall and allow us to block entire domain like don't allow Facebook or google in this app. Like littlesnitch but for ios and andriod.

But we know companies like Google aren't going to make such drastic step because they themself want data and have 0 incentives. Mitm is not easy in app due to pinning and requires root access which is very hard these days because banking app doesn't work on rooted phone.

And pi hole have stopped working because app's are using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. Future looks bleak tbh.
He merely asked for the number of deaths directly caused by Covid. Where do you get the idea that anyone is questioning what it means to die from Covid?
I don't think anyone is embarrassed. If they are, they don't seem to act like it.
It wasn't for political reasons at all. The reactor design - EPR - was specifically designed to be a large reactor[1].

Paradoxically this large-reactor approach was intended to reduce costs but has spectacularly failed to do so with cost overruns of factors of 3 (in this case) and over 5 (from Flammanville).

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_(nuclear_reactor)
The modelling has been wrong. Early on someone ran Sweden's numbers through Neil Ferguson's model's business-as-usual scenario, and the model's estimates of cases and deaths were much higher than observed reality (by around an order of magnitude IIRC).
The very close network is so close (and small in numbers), at least in my case, that one wouldn't actually need a web/internet site for it, they are people you talk to or possibly meet often, when you go at the 2 or 3 level, you have a lot more people but you don't actually know them.

>Do you really have so little trust in your immediate network to review items?

What I personally have is "selected mistrust", i.e. (example) if I want a (trustable/reliable) opinion on (say) a vacuum cleaner I wouldn't ask it to my friend "A" whom I know has a definite preference for any gadget that is new and shiny/esthetically pleasing, whilst if I want an opinion on (still say) a car, him would be the person I would trust the most, on the other hand, my friend "B" would be very reliable on the vacuum cleaner, but he would be not as much reliable on the car, and of course I can do this kind of selection only for "level 1" people.
if Web3 were such a success they would cease talking about the future and simply show us _the_ killer app that everyone would immediately jump to. The "Web2" would be an empty space pretty soon. Yet it hasn't happened despite over a decade of hot-air, big techno-gobble-dygook and made up words invented to dazzle an ignorant audience.

But there is no such thing as a killer feature that can't be done better with what we have. And they're left with peddling NFT's, cryptokitties or MLM scams a la Dr. Ruja's "OneCoin". It's been "wE aWe vEWy close to bweakthrough" from the Ethereum grifters Buterin & Woods since the first time their garbage polluted the air.

The people at IOTA have been selling homeopathic crypto since "Kerl" and "Curl-P" while insisting that collusion resistance isn't the main goal of a hash function. Until today no explanation what has happened to their deals with CISCO, Volkswagen and Microsoft which they one day announced were implementing IOTA in their products (there was no such thing and these companies didn't know anything about these claims).

Craig Wright super-grifter continues to claim he is Satoshi and hoping he can bend reality into believing that 2+2=5 instead of simply signing a message with the old key.

There are 2 types of people in crypto: the scammers and the suckers, and sometimes they overlap because once you start believing your own scam to be reality it's only a matter of time until you're somebody else's mark.

that said,

bitcoin is a great technology for drug markets so that addicts no longer have to risk their lives with products where there is no review. It's the next best thing to legalizing drugs in societies that are still far away from that.

there are very few applications where blockchains make sense (e-sports and games, the SWIFT banking "backend"). Yet even for those a central database is a better technological, and business fit than coins and blockchains while also not being as environmentally damaging.

If all the crypto ecosystem would disappear all at once today nobody would notice (other than some people with aggressive investing habits losing their value). The world would literally just shrug and move on.

> I don’t understand why everyone isn’t panicking and we’re not already in a lockdown.

Not argumenting with rest, but this has rather simple explanation - people are fed up with literally everything covid-related. 1.5 years of existential dread coming from all directions will drain and numb most. Politicians are still voted into their position.

Locking everybody at home for a long time, repeatedly, without any real solution in sight (the best vaccines work a bit for 6 months and then they're practically gone). That's a hard sell in democracy.

I'd say protect the weak properly, have the current vaccination restrictions on everybody, but otherwise let the rest get on with their lives. Even if it means some will die. From my perspective its criminal to fuck up children's future even if it would protect their grandparents a bit more.
Populations are comparable. And just what I said - BC had less testing, that’s why they had fewer total cases. Either that or restrictions and masks don’t work because Singapore was better than BC on both counts. They had a “circuit breaker” for a while where you couldn’t leave your house in 2020.

I only mentioned reincarnation because the previous commenter mentioned it. He obviously believes in it, I don't as you may gather from my comment.

But hey, if he wants to believe in reincarnation, as you believe in a singularity, that's OK too.

70 years ago, people believed that computers would 'very soon now' understand spoken natural languages like Russian, Chinese or even English. That's 'understand' as in 'know it at a reasoning level', not 'understand' as in 'manipulate the word tokens'. Such a simple goal, but that is still decades (more likely centuries) away from our current capabilities.
I’ll continue to lean more cautious than optimistic with a variant that has the potential to start re-infecting our mostly vaccinated elderly populations at alarming rates. Our hospitals and medical staff need a reprieve as they already have a concerning backlog of non Covid related treatments.
Zig's a little different here.

Zig's C interop means it can leverage some of the most battle-tested libraries out there, with no shortage of libraries given C's massive ecosystem. And with Zig, it's not like you have to rewrite your whole system in a new language, you can incrementally rewrite the parts that make sense, test, and repeat.

Zig's tooling around compilation is also arguably ahead of most languages, and Zig's progress here is flowing back and adding value to many communities. For example, this 0.9.0 release can now build native Node addons without requiring node-gyp.
I used to do a lot of work on Bazel. I wrote its downloader code for example. https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/ed7ced0018dc5c5eb... Bazel is nice, but these days I'm running a small scrappy operation, so I just use GNU Make. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/7064d736e3ded15087...

I like Make since it's able to build a repository with 17k .o files, 80 .a archives, and 661 .com executables from scratch in under a minute on one personal computer (if the kernel page cache is warm). I wrote a couple small helper commands to make the make config more manageable, like package.com, mkdeps.com, compile.com, ar.com, zipobj.com, and runit.com.

The reason why Make works for me, is because I think the root cause of needing things like Autoconf and Cmake is because most projects need to depend on seven different C libraries. I decided that, rather than focusing on writing a better build config, I'd rather use an unfancy build system and instead devote my energy towards having a single C library that runs on all seven of the platforms I'm targeting. I owe a lot of thanks to projects like musl, dlmalloc, dtoa, llvm, etc. from whom I borrowed source code. That enabled me to abstract portability at the libc level, rather than punting to #ifdefs and configs.
