How about instead we get rid of the people we don't need, so everyone driving cars involves a much smaller multiplier and we can preserve a high quality of life without trashing the place.
How about space propulsion? Maybe I'm naive, but inertial confinement fusion seems like a great candidate for a space engine.
Given how we witnessed ironic edgelord racism on places like 4chan metamorphose into open, actual, earnest racism in like a decade or less, I'd say no, s*ckless do NOT get a pass on this.

wood-loving generally oxidize fast and have a more psylocin heavy profile on consumption, so there's less come-up, and my anecdotal experience of eating large amounts of wood-eaters (blue footers, found around box elder trees/floodplanes in Bethany, WV area) -- the experience is like immediately intense and psychedelic with no playful buffer since the conversion is shortened -- and if you're not ready you will be properly fucking spun.

other than that, i've had some insanely intense experiences with them, both pleasant and unpleasant. but i have not had much experience with other species.

related to the thread however, my experiences with good L were way more pleasant, manageable, and desirable. but perhaps that's a result a more responsible, less reckless dosing (i had some experience by this time, dosing in clubs and stuff) -- when i was eating mushrooms (spring time, quite a few seasons not really outside of that window) simply eating whatever i am finding on a hike through the woods while having an afternoon coffee, while not really knowing any better, sometimes meant i ingested way more than necessary, shrug. YMMV.
This is because every variable is a piece of abstraction, and this shows you unessisary abstractions! I love it.
We drive our cars about 2K miles and 5K miles a year. I’ve argued (so far without success) that it makes no sense for us to buy a used hybrid or other high-efficiency car [and divert that car from a user who would likely drive it 10K+ miles per year].

We’ve got a couple more years before I have to buy another used car, so I still might win the argument.
Either it works and that would be a waste of additional billions, or it doesn't and there would be no guarantee the second wouldn't have the same critical mistake. This is not about rolling the dice, it's about putting every bit of effort and attention you can muster into one attempt - splitting that, even a little, reduces the odds of the main attempt working.

If it does end up failing, and let's pray to Bill's god and others it doesn't, we're better off trying something else in a few decades, or something simpler and more focused sooner.
Well then, have each $5k sponsored by a celebrity and give them to the homeless to set them up instead of living in tents
This feels like it happens again and again and again across the world. The middle east has been well underway in this crisis for a while now. Spain has had similar issues. It feels like a top issue- the most basic part of the social contract: a society that has to want & involve new generations. Without having on ramps for the upcoming generations, society, socialization, the ways of life cannot be sustained.

My general disposition is that very few nations have done a good job of giving youth access to use their potential. The future/present feels perenially squandered on those already here.
Probably will lose an account over this, but...

> I don't think that "autistic" is more of a "status symbol" than, say, "gay".

Uh..aren't they both pretty big status symbols? Gay, queer, disability, "this is indigenous land". If I work as a disability officer, it's probably somewhat important my email byline has a disability (or two, of three).

"I have to prove my status" (as someone who is a disability officer) and "this person is a disability officer, they dont even have a disability or their pronouns in the signature?!".
Awesome! You mean, you stream your programming. I've been wondering for years whether I should give it a try. Is it also helpful, or just fun to kill time?
It was kinda my dream to have drop-in kits that would turn any ICE into a plug-in micro-hybrid and just run the electric system off extra batteries for as long as possible, and then kicking in the alternator once finally required.

Could work as more and more stuff becomes electric in cars instead of running off accessory belt.
Very nice to see someone take ownership of a problem. Thanks Jeff :)

I always figured it had something to do with lactose intolerance. Somewhere between 40 and 50% of the population are intolerant which is high compared to most of western Europe.
>I’m used to seeing the pageantry and showmanship of a SpaceX launch and I was left… underwhelmed

The SpaceX launches broadcasts are made for largely uneducated lay people. No one should be entertained by that. They all feel like infomercials.
>Driving an EV is a green status symbol now. I wonder if they could in the future be viewed as "battery hogs".

I already view them as battery hogs. It baffles me that anyone thinks they make sense. We have the battery supply to either make a small minority of cars EVs or to make all cars PHEVs.

PHEVs are cheaper, more practical, and more environmentally sound.

Yes? I feel pretty comfortable saying that the live/dead status of the author (and subjects) is one of many factors that affects the ethics involved in publishing something like that. That seems to be the question of this thread, no?
You're asking TWO questions not one. I THOUGHT sun and Dec wouldn't disappear into other companies. I'm still really cross about Dec. I learned on a dec10 and operated 11 and 11/780 systems as well as decstations.

I THINK that a lot of sw dev tooling companies will get folded in. Atlassian for instance.

Intel isn't as strong as it needs to be but US govt support will probably keep it there.
After some burnout after building a tech company, I saved up money and left my job, and decided to take 2 years just doing whatever I feel like doing each day, until I find something I really, truly love, that I can build a new career from. I tried some different things, and in the end I found my new calling. I think the key is to free up time so you can experiment with different things with no pressure to make money immediately.

You clearly don't have the barest understanding about China or how its government works.

We need to get used to using the term 'power consumer' instead of emotive terms like 'gas guzzler' to describe IC engines. Currently coal powered BEVs are considered by some to have superior efficiencies to gasoline powered vehicles.

I estimate about 1500 transistors. Yes, they could have used the LFSR for the PC; I've seen that in early microcontrollers. I actually expected to see a LFSR there. Maybe they wanted to have a linear ROM layout to make their life simpler.

Yes, the resets are synchronous.
Lmao! If he was a friend of capitalism, he could have let his actions speak for themselves. To the contrary, FDR's economic policies bordered on outright, open corporatism. He obstructed and stymied the free market at every opportunity. Some of his policies were so overreaching that SCOTUS nullified them as unconstitutional. With "friends" like that, who needs enemies?

Many I've seen in Europe are pretty fast - Merc 350e for example has 0-62mph of 5.9s and top speed of 155mph. BMW 330e is 6.1s and 140mph. Granted some are slower, but no one ever bought a brand like Toyota etc expecting high-performance, so it is not surprising if they are slower (FWIW my Toyota non-plugin hybrid is actually pretty fast from a standstill, but won't win any races beyond 20mph)

6s to 62mph is pretty nippy - if you need faster than 6s 0-62mph then you are likely in a fairly small niche group.

Looks like the base Tesla 3 is 0-62 in 5.8s and 140mph top speed so pretty comparable.
Respecting a license is completely orthogonal to the unintended behavior of an automation used on something it wasn’t really meant for (fork rather than a new repo)
I honestly don't think that the "physical structure" or actual shelter is the main problem w.r.t. homelessness. The land itself is a lot more expensive. And the legal framework.

Where I am right now, it's illegal to sleep in a car for instance. And similarly, a lot of alternative housing solutions are highly burocratized, require lots of permits etc. Almost like politicians are protecting their real estate investments.

In any case, homelessness at a society level is a political problem.

==============

OTOH, since I was planning on building a wood cabin for myself at some point, I do wonder what solution you had in mind for the toilets/sewage.
Hm. When I first tried mushrooms, “splitting an eighth” was the common dosage which is slightly more than 1.6g.
I would guess that performance isn’t the main consideration for most folks, but you should check out the BMW 330e and 530e. Both are plug-in hybrids with very respectable performance numbers. You can even get them with the M-sport package (not that it makes them faster, but it makes them a little sportier).

> the best people to make that kind of judgement would be the person's personal relatives

To expand on that the best person to make this kind of judgement would be Feynman himself.

But then I'm not sure if had he ever made a claim on whether he would allow these letters to become public / be sold, if such a claim would have any legal value to be enforced after his death.

In the end we are left with his personal relatives, and what the law regulates regarding their rights to share Feynman private letters posthumously.

CFS's ARC reactor design will use a FLiBe molten salt blanket to shield everything except the vacuum chamber itself, which is a steel doughnut with 2cm thick walls. They plan to build a proof of concept reactor by 2025 that will have net energy gain (Q > 10), and then a full demo power plant by 2030. CFS believes they can move faster than ITER because the newer stronger magnets that they're using make smaller reactors viable. Smaller scale means cheaper to build, which means a nimbler private company can build it rather than a bureaucratic international project.
I really like selling drugs. I mean, I really like it. I spent 25 years coding, and I hated it. I hated the techbros who ruined the industry, I hated the dudebros who invaded every San Francisco coffee shop to talk loudly about their investments, and I really, really hated the way the tech crowd shifted from being kind of wild anarchist DIY hippy hackers to being right-wing law and order, thin-blue line types.

Now I produce sell Cannabis & Psychedelics in California where it's sort of legal. I have a huge social life, I've networked with dozens of other artisanal pushers, and now I can pickup like-minded girls and guys by saying "Hey, want to come back to my place and roll Molly or trip on shrooms?"

I make more than twice as much as I did as a backend developer, mostly in BitCoin and cash, and all I do is hang out with people. I haven't had a major depressive episode since my last day of work where I quite by sending him some scat porn and a video of me pissing on my work laptop.

Precise vs. Imprecise Traps
How do you find problems to solve?
It does sound like a semantic difference. To me, and I believe to most in the field, the protein folding problem was always pretty much about figuring out the final 3D structure (the final state), and not necessarily about the act of folding (ie.: the gerundive) itself.

There is a lot of value in learning more about folding (in the gerundive sense), but the focus has always been on finding the folded structure, because as you very well know, structure is function.
Of course. Such automation wouldn’t be sustainable under capitalism because the rate of profit would drop even further, but it would be entirely possible under a socialist economy that produces for use instead of for profit.
I know some people who made millions working the Universal Service Fee system, getting paid gobs of subsidies to provide DSL / wifi to hillbillies in West Virginia. It's like digital gold if you know how to really work the system.
I guess that’s a rhetorical question? Because clearly many people do actually prefer a BMW to a geo metro, despite the price difference.
How impactful? Suffered T & H for a long long time. I don't enjoy listening to music anymore, much less performing.

T: four tonal ranges in one ear, two in other; non-aggravated significant flare-up's in both. Stress is a factor. Some tonal ranges have morphed over time from pulsatile to resonant; none are purely sinusodial; they cover lows to mids to highs.

H: I become angry from loud sounds and sometimes quiet ones. Any exposure increases sensitivity. Stress is a factor.

Earplugs w/muffs: any exposure to vibration/noise aggravates both T and H. With no hearing protection on e.g. a miter saw, I'd risk an ER visit. Even one unprotected cut introduces significantly amplified T for days.

Programming: Any brain activity increases T & H, incl'g coding, social activities, or anything involving interacting with technology and society, for that matter. Programming specifically causes my brain to always be "on", which is particularly bad for T.

Life outcome: Was told no treatment existed, so I tried to deal with it and move on with life. Didn't work. That was decades ago.

Suicide: peaceful method available, not the problem. Persistent fear of death exists.

Mental theories about serotonin imbalances, DSM nonsense, etc: I have found humanity to be distasteful since childhood. Conscious decision. Please kill me now.

Limited social networks: in the space / satellite / cam age, this is impossible. I am not moving underground.
Oh and flame-throwing pipe organs, as well, why not?

This feels like the sort of thing where straightening it out immediately, even on christmas day, was well worthwhile simply because it would let him enjoy his christmas dinner without worrying about an inevitable building dramastorm.

That is not, however, a complaint - being smart enough and giving a damn enough to realise that straightening it out immediately was a really good idea is impressive and laudable in and of itself.

I wonder if you could do a CMOS μC in 1500 transistors; my best ideas so far are barely under 3000. Of course to make music that way you need a much faster clock plus some code memory.

Excellent work Ken, as always. Love the detail.
In Rust in theory you could express each capability a collection can have as a trait, impl the relevant traits for each container type, then write generic code that specifies it requires e.g. `NumberIndexable + FastAppend`. But AFAIK there is no way to ask the compiler to find the best available container type satisfying those traits; it would enforce anything you pass into the function satisfies them but wouldn't deduce it for you.

You could definitely do it with C++ template metaprogramming and type traits.
Those aren't insulated at all. You need to spend a bunch more getting that into shape to live in.
this civil disobedience, is it just evening the score between you and Disney? Because that I would understand. What I'm criticising is the claim of piracy as some sort of moral fight of the oppressed. The noble filesharer uploading this year's Transformers instalment for the greater good. That's just giving it way more credit than it deserves.

I would expect that to be true. Not the best numbers, but Wikipedia puts coal power plants at 37% efficiency and combustion engines at 20-35%. This makes sense too, power plants have space, money, and an incentive to increase efficiency. And in reality, no power mix is 100% coal, increasing the overall efficiency to above 37%.
What is your experience with handling trips with CPTSD? I'm on the verge of exploring mushrooms and have pretty serious CPTSD symptoms and burdens. I'm doing therapy and a lot of self-therapy like somatic experiencing, dancing, IFS and just doing whatever my body wants to do. I hope that mushrooms would be a great addition to that 'do whatever I want' therapy by intensifying my child brain, but also I'm fearful that things could get bad in the moment or worse in the long run.
I like making things that people use. I have done systems and infrastructure programming, but making frontend stuff is where I really like to be.

I consider it a craft, as opposed to a vocation.
You can get a Bolt for around $11k after incentives. OK the incentives part is a wrench in the equation to be sure, so it may be hard to answer my question…

Are you saying hybrids cost less than that?
Look at the other side of this: by buying an EV, you're increasing the demand and increasing the cost barrier to owning one, so people are more likely to buy a cheaper, gas car. An EV you're not going to use much that sits in your garage is one less on the market to drive the supply up.

Generally, the idea that people toss their cars in the garbage is wrong. They enter the secondary market and someone drives them either way. Scrapping them only happens when their useful lifespan is over.

Buying a newly made gas guzzler is a different story.
just because OP stated jobs on Christmas are the truly important ones doesn't imply that other jobs that don't work Christmas aren't important. Your logic is the same logic as people getting offended by "Black lives matter" and them saying "all lives matter".
Few advantages:

- One password per service, so if a service leaks it it affects nothing else.

- Super strong passwords, random long passwords way beyond what I can remember making them more secure from guessing/brute forcing.

Indeed, if someone gains access to your password manager you are not going to have a good time. So you have take all necessary precautions like 2FA, and even better hardware security keys, and you have to put trust in the service you use, they should be stored encrypted etc etc.

If it's less dangerous depends on your situation and what you are defending against. For me and I think for most "normal" folks, it's much safer as most risk comes from having bad passwords, reusing passwords, and services leaking your reused passwords.

That's the big question: what is the alternative? In most cases, it's way worse.

Another mitigating factor is that for important services you should enable 2fa anyway. If you keep your 2nd factor out of the pw manager (hardware security keys!) you add another layer.
Unless a kitchen is specifically set up for preparing food completely gluten free without cross contamination then there is going to be cross contamination. Most kitchens simply aren't big enough. It isn't a matter of taking it seriously and any kitchen that knows what they are doing will let you know they can't make a gluten-free guarantee.
I've heard the kids call that cross-faded now.
