I always disable SSAO in games, I've never really cared for the effect that much and it often seems to eat a lot of resources.
My pet complaint, flaring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossmorran

It's pretty hard to care about saving energy when there's a hundred meter column of flame on the horizon. Mossmorran is an intermittent offender, but worldwide you would be appalled at how much gas is flared. It's probably enough to make up for the loss of Russian gas.
I'm not a fishing expert but I think officially owning those islands would affect their Exclusive Economic Zone. If the fishing there is good they could turn a profit even if administering the islands costs some yen.

There's still the incentive to cover it up externally and blame it on a cyberattack as opposed to poor internal processes that allowed such a bug to make it to production.

Harriet Tubman's life (1822-1913) overlapped with Thomas Jefferson's life (1743-1826) and Ronald Reagan's life (1911-2004).
Yes, I've known that trick for a long time. There's hardly ever a reason to use it though, unless you're swapping registers in assembly and don't have a spare register.
It sure watches like it.
There are some amusing explanations as to how it's a fascist society:

https://thecritic.co.uk/the-fascist-state-of-paw-patrol/

"Paw Patrol is Giorgio Agamben’s nightmare, a country in which a permanent state of emergency exists, under which governments have limitless power to rule unilaterally. There is no society or even commerce in Paw Patrol, only the relentless unthinking force of the police state, ostensibly responding to a never-ending crisis. It is the most influential work of fascist art since Ezra Pound."
You state this with no evidence provided.

Nuclear isn't cheaper now, and won't be any time soon. If we want more cheap energy then renewables _are_ the right solution, especially in places like the US where land is cheap and there is plenty of sunshine. It makes less sense in Europe, but if the Chinese make substantial advances in nuclear tech then great — we can build new reactors in 10/20 years when they do make economic sense.

This is almost always a racial slur that turns out not to be true on closer inspection.
Thanks, I was confused by the article's induction proof which seems to completely ignore new tasks coming in. The random walk argument is very clear.
One simple improvement would be labeling all consumer goods with their embodied carbon.

More ambitiously, the government could tax embodied carbon at the current price of atmospheric carbon capture.
Do you know what kinds of oil are commonly used for the frying?

Sanctions should be increased even further. Russia experienced the sanctions following the Crimea annexation and scoffed. Due to that, they have been emboldened and attacked Ukraine. Now the sanctions should be tough enough that Russia, with the prospect of changing the plutonium cores of 5000 weapons every 10 years, or doing something else, will decide to do something else. Painful enough that the engineers designing their air defense systems decide to move to other countries.

Russia has built up their currency reserves by shorting pensions of their retirees. The reserves were intended to survive the impending sanctions. Russia will be forced to fund their pensioners, drawing down that reserve.

Kevin Mandia was always incredible at finding a grade A talent pipeline of IR professionals that enabled Mandiant to always be the folks that responded to the incidents "that mattered" (his words).

Their APT-1 report (https://www.mandiant.com/resources/apt1-exposing-one-of-chin... they released in 2013 was at the time unprecedented and brought awareness to nation-state sponsored hacking to a much broader audience than ever before.

As someone who worked there in the early days (a little over 100+ employees) as an entry-level peon, I always felt I had the ability to walk into Kevin's office at anytime and tell him something I thought was important and get attention and respect back.

While much of the organization has changed in the last 3 years, the constant has always been Kevin and the amount of work they put in to recover from the disastrous FireEye acquisition, preserve the brand's integrity, and to parlay that into such a positive acquisition for the employees and shareholders is an incredible outcome.

Congratulations to both Google and Mandiant.
Haven't you just moved the pressure back a step? Now you have a bunch of items retrying to get their stuff on the queue and a bunch of places to try and locate the problem, instead of an overly large queue. Is the idea that the messages aren't important enough to be placed on the queue in the first place if demand is high?
> wars of annexation are met with sanctions

By your logic PRC "reunifying" with TW wouldn't be met with sanctions because it's a civil war where TW is de jure
recognized as part of Chinese territory, at least by parties who can do meaningful sanctions. After all PRC can't annex what's already legally hers.
Well, it seems that the Google Chronicle was a semi-failure from all the signals that were coming out. I hope i'm wrong about Chronicle. Maybe this is a future replacement/iteration / improvement.

We do know absolutely that some environmental pollutants cause cancer(s) and other health related.

Outside of the known pollutants I am curious to know how much of the world population living in normal polluted areas vs living in highly polluted areas have more cancers?

Also it would be interesting to get data on the tribes living in say the Amazon. If their incidence of cancers is above or below average the rest of the human population
I posted this because it's interesting to see the composition of various media that is being utilized to claim the war is fake and how that is then being amplified.
That presumably ignores the fact that other industries would adapt to respond to energy that was essentially free for even shorter periods. The economics of heavy industries might change if the energy input was free for 3 hours a day (e.g. offsetting great capital spend to overbuild infrastructure there).
> Today, cancer is curable, unless it is too late before it is spotted.

How valid is this? And what exactly is "spotting it early"? Stage one?

That's why there should be a price spike. For all a free market's faults, one thing they're good at is finding the right price for goods with elastic demand.
Maybe it's the zone? I'm in WV and it feels extremely bad here. One note: my experience is in Umbria, I know that there are some other parts in Italy which are pretty polluted.

By the way I've been wondering the same thing for years now. I don't know why. My hypothesis is pollution since the biggest difference between the 2 zones is the levels of industrialization.

>modern appliances like a dish washer

Dishwashers actually save energy and water vs. hand-washing. Maybe you save a little energy if you handwash in cold water, but nobody does that and you would need a lot more soap.

> And that war was also immediately after a NATO related escalation.

What 'NATO related escalation' immediately preceded Russia's invasion of the Ukraine? I don't believe that there was one. As far as I can tell, Putin's casus belli is 'the Ukraine exists.'
Of course, having turned browsers into virtual machines

I really wish browsers would take that one extra step and utilize their intimate knowledge of what memory allocations belong to which sites that are actually active and implement paging to disk instead of gobbling up ram like it is a infinite resource and expecting the general purpose OS to figure it all out.
Well, from the Wiki: "a militia composed of ethnic Georgians who lived in Abkhazia and Russian-backed separatist forces".

Sure, there may be a slice of population that wants to leave but how can that be gouged properly when Russia keeps influencing the people and supplying weapons to separatists? There's a cause and effect here.
I think you are missing my point. It's a difference between 12 seconds on a laptop and 26 minutes on 7 c1.medium instances. Yes there is overhead in shipping the data around, but there isn't 26 minutes worth of overhead.

If a c1.medium can process at the same speed as his laptop it should take less than 3 seconds worst case. And yes 7 machines should be faster at this scale.
You mention elsewhere that your heat doesn't come from a heat pump.

It is absurd that you brag of low wattage when you're using gas directly to heat your home. A heat pump is one of two things a household can do to meaningfully reduce energy consumption, and the other one is not owning a car.

The rest of it is feel-good at best and self-righteous at the worst, when people start yelling at each other about imported food and aren't using heat pumps.
> Why should I believe that the quasi-experimental procedure you describe operates smoothly

You don’t have to trust that the process works when you can see that it works by looking at the code and even become a validator/data provider yourself to ensure there’s always at least one honest participant (from your perspective).

There was even uncertainty around the US forming a central bank with some worrying about the power it would have.

Unless it would have been your approach already, not having confidence in L2s because they’re new technology isn’t a reason to dismiss them and decide to let the government manage all of your financial guarantees.

> I don't have to "trust" the banks, I have legal guarantees and transparency mandates enforced by governments

In this scenario, banks = L2 and government = L1.

Are there scenarios where a bank (or other financial institution) can steal/withhold funds from you, or where they can censor your ability to transact with your own money? What is the recourse you have in those situations. What if the L1 itself uses its “right” to take your money through civil forfeiture or eminent domain?

Are there cases where you may not trust the government (or where someone may not trust their government) because it is controlled by a small number of appointed or elected individuals?

In that case, you can compare it to an L1/L2 blockchain setup where the L1 is controlled by a small number of validators (say 1000). That system would be easily corruptible (I can bribe 1k people) and I’d never treat it as a safe settlement system.

Blockchain is all about your choice of who and what to trust.

In the traditional financial system, some people will be fine with fully trusting their government and large financial institutions, whiles others will bury precious metals in the backyard and surround them with land mines. There’s all sorts of middle ground and blockchains let you choose where you want to sit on that spectrum.

> This is my life. Why would I be surprised that it ended how I lived it?

Can't judge, I've spent a lot of time shitposting on Reddit myself, I just got tired of what I was doing and what it was causing on me about last week, let's see what I do now.

But I don't want to warp my perspective on life so that "finding my lost pet", "finding love (and love again)", "first day of a new life in a different country", "that mushroom trip that was actually useful", etc. to weigh not too much more on the scale of things than "slacking off in Hacker News", all so I can be more comfortable with mortality. There's more ways to be comfortable with mortality anyway, heck, forgetting about it until death is imminent is probably better, works for a lot of people for sure.

But it may just be a matter of delivery, you relax the wording a bit, and try to live every week as if it were the last one, or every month, it lets you cherish things that are more meaningful or actually enjoyable.
As the sibling comment mentions, this happens constantly so I don't think it's as big news as some make it out to be. It's almost a weekly occurrence at this point.
I am a fan of using renovate, and with docker images in particular since I can define my remote as

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0@sha256:15c22c170650b8db2f6250547a2dc5341978b0647c6b21ef67768e628de614f3 AS build

and have renovate automatically merge digest updates, the sha256 hash, while having manually(or automatic) PRs for the tag target.

So a when upstream updates their tag I get a PR(which is automerged) that looks like so, this allows me to know when upstream has changed while still being able to target a broader version range, 6.0 in this case

- FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0@sha256:15c22c170650b8db2f6250547a2dc5341978b0647c6b21ef67768e628de614f3 AS build

You were comparing to working out indoors not working out in a car initially.
This is exactly the rebound effect. The Wikipedia article unfortunately makes it out to be a Bad Thing and frames it as a wasteful increase in energy usage. It clearly isn't if you look at the given examples or think of some yourself. The example of LED lightbulbs, as you point out, shows that there is an existing need that was not being met due to the previously high cost of generating a lot of light indoors. An increase in efficiency allows that need to be met, energy consumption rebounds to the previous levels because the available money in the system hasn't changed. It's perverse that people suggest we should tax that extra efficiency to prevent such things happening, that would effectively hobble technological innovation because 1) why would you choose the more efficient option if it costs you exactly the same and 2) you are no longer freeing up that cash to be spent on novel uses of those more efficient systems. Again the LED example is illustrative, if you taxed them to the point that it is just as expensive as before to make the lighting in your room a closer analog of daylight then a lot of people, myself included, would simply stick with incandescent lighting since it has a nicer quality and you wouldn't be seeing any increase in activity around creating better indoor lighting by using more LED lights.

The same could be said for any example where the rebound effect applies, which is pretty much every technological advance in human history.
Exactly. In fact I'd go so far as to say this is an equally Important Thing to the Important Thing in the article. If your queue is just a simple FIFO / LIFO / whatever to buffer surges in demand until you get to them, then you absolutely get the "queue suddenly goes to infinity as you hit a critical point near maximum throughput" thing happening.

If, however, you use the queue as a way to process queries more efficiently then that's a different story.
There's a translation at https://worldjpn.grips.ac.jp/documents/texts/docs/19561019.D.... It seems pretty clear on the end of the war, even if there were plans to have additional agreements later that fell through.

Both parties agreed to end the war, and signed the agreement. It doesn't have to have the words "Peace Treaty" in the text to be one.

Not really. It used to be a mix of seed oils and animal fat. But I don't think that many fries places do still use the animal fat part for "health reasons".
The declaration states, once signed, that it ends the war.

That there were to be further negotiations after that didn't conclude doesn't invalidate that agreement.

And hydrogen comes with it's own challenges, as a large % of energy is lost in the conversion to and from. This multiplies how much solar you need appreciably. There is no easy solution here, many hard ones. We can do it but need to be willing to do that hard/expensive work.
Tox and Jami depends on DHT bootstrapping nodes. That’s easily overcome by storing long-lived peers between sessions. https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/cache-p2p-connections.html Very few clients has implemented this, unfortunately. You still need bootstrapping nodes — or an already connected instance on the local network — to join the network after a fresh install or a long period of inactivity.
I think this is simply using one rate for sampling and another for playback.

Another comment suggests seismic samples like these are taken at 200 Hz. That is comfortably above the rock vibration frequencies of a few Hz. If one simply plays back these samples 100x faster the result would appear as 20 kHz sampling and the signal power that was originally around a few Hz would be heard at a few 100 Hz. The audio sounds a bit higher in frequency so perhaps these numbers are not precisely what were actually used but they give the idea.

That's just the shifting. Accelerometers are used for the original sampling so there must also be some sort of pre-processing in the original sampling domain (the example 200 Hz time base) to convert acceleration information into displacement. This is a 3D displacement so then some other transform must be applied to represent the 3D vibrations with a 1D model.
You could also use SSI (single system image) system architectures, including distributed shared memory, to seamlessly (at least wrt. software implementation) scale up from efficient single-node processing to an arbitrarily large, clustered system. AIUI this is how things are traditionally done in mainframe processing, and it is also regarded as a very meaningful possibility in HPC.
As a developer, I understand this perspective.

But, from an employer's perspective, resumes tell you very little about a candidate and are essentially worthless. The sole usable metric we get from them is years of relevant experience.

We respond with a questionnaire that gets us more uniform answers about experience and technologies used.

Assuming the above doesn't filter the candidate out, we move on to a 90 min max "take home" exercise. In our case, it's not a coding exercise, but that's not that important for this discussion.

Only if all of the above hasn't filtered out the candidate, do we move to a Zoom meeting. In the Zoom meeting, after an initial introduction, we do a few easy coding exercises. Like, reverse a string or sum the integers in a file easy.

A few notable things from this experience:

1. The number of candidates who struggle with the Zoom interview coding exercise is surprising. It's a lot higher than expected and almost all of our candidates at that stage have 2+ years of professional development experience.
2. The number of candidates filtered out by the "take home" exercise is very high. 85+%

We literally don't have enough time to talk to every candidate that applies with the right amount of experience. And, even if we did, many/most candidates on the market aren't good developers. Our signal to noise ratio is already bad. In that case, it would be terrible.

As a developer, I sympathize with your perspective. But you may be passing on some good opportunities by not being willing to "play the game" a bit. Some employers are indeed bad actors and/or terrible at hiring. But given the current market, even those making a valiant effort to do it well, due to sheer volume, are usually going to have an exercise of some kind.

We post our salary ranges up-front, don't want to waste anyone's time that way. We also put a ton of effort into a very detailed job description and application process. The hope is that the candidate can see the effort we put in and will be willing to reciprocate. If that doesn't end up being the case, we assume, like you, it probably wouldn't have been a good for anyway.

FWIW.
