Lithium batteries will not be used for utility-scale storage, beyond load-leveling. Overwhelmingly cheaper alternatives will be used instead.
Depends what you want to do. If you want to compute a few very precise bearings, distances, areas, etc. (say for some navigation or surveying application) you should use an ellipsoidal model or even something fancier if your requirements are very exacting. If you want to do computational geometry or spatial indexing with millions of objects, you might prefer to trade accuracy for speed and model with a sphere.
For those who use them. I avoid doctors as much as possible, so if I see one it is likely closer to a catastrophic situation than routine. I would much rather have cheap catastrophic insurance than more expensive low-deductible, because I am unlikely to use the latter.
> Do that ten times in a single design, and the resulting device is significantly better.

Honestly, I would be very tempted by appliances/cars that said "we've been using these parts for 20 years, and expect to do so forever so replacement parts won't be an issue". I believe some European car makers did that very thing.

Yes, it won't have certain definitions of "better", but repairability is a feature.

Ruthenia was called Ruthenia because it was in the West, and part of the Polish-Lithuanian Empire, so went by the Latin name for Rus. Russia is derived from the Greek. Even centuries ago they were distinct.

And before then, before there were nation-states as we think of them now, the principality of Kyiv was distinct from the principality of Mosovy. Kyiv was not subordinated to Moscow until Peter, Elizabeth, and Catherine, in the 1600s and 1700s -- more than a millennium after Kyiv's founding.

The history is not made up.

So fun fact: if you use CGO, your binary effectively ends up with two versions of libc. It statically compiles musl into the binary itself for Go code and it dynamically links in libc for any C code. I'm not sure why there isn't an option with CGO to skip statically linking musl. You're depending on the platform libc regardless and at least then you end up with a smaller binary.

I agree on this article being weird.

As to your other comments your e2e tests are not reliable there’s an issue with your test harness/infrastructure.

The length of time your tests take to run obviously shouldn’t be too long, but if you have tests for every change your testing must by definition take longer as time goes by.

Failing to have e2e tests also mean you miss unexpected interactions. For a complex system testing a single thing in isolation is seldom useful.

If you look at some of the heavily tested projects like the browser engines, llvm, etc there are few (if any) “unit tests” because fundamentally it’s not useful. Tests for css layout or for IR generation make no sense without the rest of the code around them running. LLVM has semi-regular bugs in optimization that occur when different optimization passes are use together.

A purely unit test driven approach to system testing does not work effectively once you get much bigger than than a single dev product.

Sure, I think that's valid. I just don't think Tokamak Energy's announcement is less of a stunt. They've both made progress on a well-defined but ultimately not-that-big piece of a big pie.

I'm a bit scatterbrained on this topic, maybe I should sit down and try to organize my thoughts. Every company I've been at that has used monorepos has fallen into a hell of dependencies where changes break things unpredictably. The other big issue I've seen is companies with monorepos ended up not trusting their engineers. Everyone being able to see everything results in lowest common denominator code, and style fights that would never matter without one big repo.

Are you actually using Li-ion rechargeable AA and AAA cells? Those exist, but because they put out 3.7 volts, are pretty uncommon. Almost all household rechargeable AA and AAAs are nickle metal hydride, which is a much less volatile chemistry (and puts out 1.2 volts, making it mostly drop-in compatible with alkaline cells).

No, you can't maintain an entire modern browser (25 million lines of code) with 6 people.

You probably can't even maintain a complete multi-architecture, JIT-enabled Javascript engine with 6 people. Or GPU-accelerated rendering that works across thousands of hardware / software combinations. Much less that plus all the other things a browser has to do.

Yes, 6809 was an amazing microprocessor. It was doomed by the vaporware-ish Zilog Z8000 and the long delayed Motorola 68000 (the combined effect was to keep potential manufacturers of new 6809-based SBCs waiting on the sidelines for the new 16-bit generation microprocessors, while their much older 6502/8085/Z80/TMS9900 based boards skyrocketed in popularity...making it increasingly difficult to transition them to the far superior, but slightly software incompatible, 6809 microprocessors. Someone even had to eventually make a65C816 to keep the 6502 users on life support. The delayed 68000-series machines (which, like 6809, also broke software compatibility, but offered superior clock rates and 16-bit computing) came in too hot (the high-end workstations like Apple Lisa, SAGE, etc. followed by Mac, Amiga and Atari's knockoff of it.) This temporary market phenom also was probably the driving force behind Acorn/ARM, which is finally "taking over the game" (33 years later lol) after having been put on steroids by a few chip designers (first DEC with the StrongArm, now Apple with M1 Ultra, soon Ampere with the Siryn).

Seeing as we are probably due for reduced rights (e.g. pay a subscription to listen in the background) and inflated fees for those rights, it would be interesting to develop some kind of distributed way for people to (basically anonymously) develop these binary hacks i.e. you effectively have a git-in-2005 model where all nodes (patches) are equals but some more equal than others.
I'm a little curious, is there a technical reason why voxel games are easier to build than non-voxel ones? The docs mention that all of the assets are community-contributed. Does making them voxel-based just drastically lower the skill theshold to make a contribution, vs. smoother ones in something like Blender? I guess I'm a little curious about the relative amounts of effort that would have been required to make this kind of game (procedurally-generated open world, I believe) using non-voxel assets and mechanics, since the existing set seems to be pretty fully-featured.
Seems like just printing a warning to stderr or something would be a reasonable behavior (or even just printing to the screen when interactive in some special way that doesn't go to stdout or stderr in order to not mess up scripts)
Great job！
Sorry to put it this way, I just have to. The argument that guy is making on Twitter is pure horseshit. This is the problem, people don't want to do the math and choose to rely on personalities to tell them what to believe. It's also a dishonest Twitter hit-and-run. Read my longer post where I try to make sense of the claim about solar requiring hundreds more land than nuclear. That's a good approximation of the kind of honest scientific work you have to do to evaluate these claims, not the bullshit floating around on social media.

In other words, as they say in math class: Show me the work.

There's so much people ignore about solar it makes my head hurt. And, on top of that, most people speak without having any experience or "skin in the game".

I built a 13 kW ground-mount solar array on my property. From scratch. To be clear, that means, I designed every element of it, put it through the permit process, and built the entire thing with my own two hands (well, my kids helped!).

Here's a data point: My microscopic 13 kW array required 64 THOUSAND pounds of concrete. Yup. That is what Los Angeles County had me install as a footing for this thing. I fought them as hard as I could. I lost. Eight columns, 8000 lbs of concrete and hundreds of pounds of rebar holding them down. An architect friend of mine told me you could put up a four level building on that footing.

On commercial installations, they add massive amounts of steel to this to build the structure. I have no way to evaluate this at all, but I would not be surprised if a large scale photovoltaic facility required more concrete and steel than the equivalent power nuclear power plant. Again, just a guess. It would be interesting to dig-up records for something like Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant and make the comparison.

> So what you see is people hoarding capital goods.

owning capital goods isn't hoarding, since that implies you are not making use of it (like a squirrel would "hoard" nuts, which over time would rot).

Capital goods are doing something productive - or the capital is misallocated and is losing you money. Too much misallocation would indeed cause problems, but every owner of capital is incentivized to allocate their capital to the highest returning task they can accept a risk for.

Those who do not own capital will sell their labour. Any excess they earn apart from their sustenance would be spent on acquiring capital. In this way, everyone who produce more than they consume would accumulate capital, and partake in the economic growth.

As for why land is treated as capital good - land is required for a lot of things, and the properties of land is not any different from any other capital good. The problem may be that there are some gov't interventions on land use that prevent it from being used for the most productive purpose - this should be corrected, but i have no idea how as vested interests are preventing it from happening.

It's not surprising. Both Mearsheimer and Putin both subscribe to the theory of offensive realism, while most Western cultures lean more towards defensive realism.

UDP has always been used in at least VoIP and games. Basically any application where data is time-sensitive, and you'd rather not get a packet at all than have it retransmitted a bunch of times before it comes through. Also DNS.

But then there's QUIC, which is a better TCP built on top of UDP. It's new, but there's already some adoption.

> good luck getting end-to-end transit

This isn't a TCP/UDP problem, you need to go down a level. This is because of NATs, which exist because the IPv4 address space can't possibly fit all those networked devices people use these days. IPv6 solves that. Why is its adoption so slow despite widespread support? I have no idea.
It's inexpensive in that it can't be bought, at least

I'm not trying to be judgmental but, you'll never get anywhere if you let small obstacles in life deter you from your goals. Losing interest in something because of a pop-up that can be easily side-stepped causes you to miss the opportunity to read what I consider to be a fairly well-written story about one person's struggle with stuttering.

That isn’t really accurate. The Roman Empire of the several centuries after the Arab conquests had its down period in the 800s, but came back strongly for several centuries from 900 through 1200 during which time they were the most powerful of all the states of Europe and Western Asia.
Yes, speedify has a lot of smarts around packet loss. It uses up to 8 TCP connections in parallel to avoid slow downs based on loss.

But for the kind of burst of massive loss you describe, I'd suggest having a secondary connection it can use that during the bursts of loss. A cellular connection could be used just during these times to smooth it out.

The graph on here seems similar to what I've noticed. My lab mainly uses Tensorflow mainly driven by my knowledge. And the only reason why I learned Tensorflow initially was that PyTorch was just starting when I was choosing a framework and the documentation wasn't as established. However, recently I recommended a student who was asking me which framework to probably use PyTorch due to the ease of implementation comparatively.

Not sure where you're getting this from, but it's suspiciously similar to this commentary by Islamic Caliph Omar, where he was talking about the books in the Library of Alexandria.

"Alexandria was captured by the Muslim army of 'Amr ibn al-'As. Several later Arabic sources describe the library's destruction by the order of Caliph Omar.[94][95] Bar-Hebraeus, writing in the thirteenth century, quotes Omar as saying to Yaḥyā al-Naḥwī: "If those books are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if these are opposed to the Quran, destroy them."
It will only happen if a company decides to try and be the next raspberry pi chip (or as a by-product like the OG broadcom chip from the Pi1).

The actual chip designs, I think, are already there in terms of getting a high-performance risc-v chip built, but currently the market and tech stack is still getting they so we are still at the scaled-down-test phase in the high end market.

FWIW though I don't see much reason to care about the ISA of the CPU beyond it being RISC, chances are it'll still be full of all kinds of closed source crap like the Pi.
