And it's a valid point. Your phrasing just sounded like the "companies should be a free source of money for our grand, expensive plans" school of economic insanity, and I reacted to that, rather than to what you were really saying.

To your actual point, I have an honest question: Is electricity subsidized? Do you have a figure for total subsidies, worldwide?

Note that much of the investment in renewables has been subsidized, though that's probably a one-off at installation rather than an annual amount. It would have to be pro-rated over the expected lifetime of the installation.

I don't think it's best for the look particular character design shown in the trailer there. Actually, I think devolver has an open engine too, no?
I think you need a layer of indirection there - you can't just directly call a function in another library in x64, whereas the library itself can. So in general the library should have a speed advantage when calling itself in x64.
If this upsets you, then you probably shouldn't use the "it's a private company" defense when people are upset by other instances of Big Tech being guilty of censorship.
Yes it's an example of progress vs tradition and your point is one side of that balance. The whole movie is a very clear allegory to Aboriginal land rights. "It's Mabo" to quote the main protagonist defending his families right to their home full of tradition.

That’s not going to help much when Apple are rumoured to have their M2 out late this year or very early next year. Being two years away from catching up to the shipping version of a well funded competitor (an absolutely massive understatement when we’re talking about Apple) is just a bad look for Intel. It’s not likely to impact their market as much as their competitive position relative to AMD but it’s still a bad look for them to be struggling so much to match the hardware production of a former customer who abandoned them for in house silicon.
> "Managed Apple IDs can be created by federating with Microsoft Azure Active Directory and, coming later this spring, with Google Workspace identity services, allowing employees to log in to their device with a single business username and password. Apple Business Essentials works with company-provided and personally owned devices"

Just to temper your expectations, I don't believe they're talking about signing into Apple devices using Google identity services directly. Google identity services (and other identity providers) can be used to provision managed Apple ID's that can be used to log into the devices. It's basically just pulling the username from LDAP and creating a <username@yourcompany.appleid.com> account that can be used in place of your normal Apple ID. All of the accounts created this way will still reside in Apple Business Manager / on Apple's servers, so if you disconnected the IdP connection Google would have no power there.

I got tired of dealing with the fact that every one of these "do everything in one box" docks are a mixed bag of variously questionable components and just bought a "pure" tb4 hub[1], which is a thing that exists now but didn't really before. It's a lot nicer to be able to just pick the usbc or tb components I need plugged into it rather than have to take shitty NIC 1 because DP transcoder 2 is good.

I also bought usbc-to-hdmi cables instead of dongles and am very happy with both of these decisions. Everything works a lot better now.

Eigen makes use of these already
Is there any convincing research for how/why the inner monologue capabilities emerge?

It’s extremely unintuitive, but also pretty empirically obvious, that LLM’s gain this capability just by scaling and absent any changes in architecture. I assumed that an explicit external memory would be needed, maybe similar to a neural turing machine.

Presumably people have a dedicated workstation that they use most of the time, but not infrequently want to have a portable computer that they can take places (cafes/trips/transport/co-working spaces/etc).

To be fair, our 1000/400 connection is only marginally worse than an EC2 which benched in at 800/800.

What killed the server probably wasn't bandwidth, but load (database error). Which means that a small EC2 wouldn't have coped, either.

I live in a world overrun by capitalism and inundated with ads. The inescapable consumerism is sickening. That it’s the norm to run ads on practically every consumer product is absurd, and I feel gaslit that apparently everyone else is comfortable with it. We pay to remove ads from many services—why does my thousand-dollar bicycle still have a permanent billboard on the side? Have I not paid enough? Removing a logo from my life is one small reprieve from the dystopia.

Nothing about my post claimed, or implied, this, so I don't know why you ask.

No, not at all. Nothing about that passage was about morals.

I wouldn't say that coders as an industry are destroying the road behind us, since there isn't really a road between "warehouse worker" and "software engineer", unless someone has the knack for coding (in which case there's a very clear and well-paved road within the company between those roles)

I think the best solution is to empower workers via unions or whatever else. It should be impossible for workers to get ground into dust by companies the way they do now.

Even without a music theorist telling you that point 3 is wrong, it just makes the music harder to read. Of course, the reason is what the theorist would give, but it highlights that he isn't really reading music. He's reading notes. He hasn't learned what those notes mean in context. It's like he's learned how to sound out written words in a foreign language but doesn't actually know what any of the words mean.

Agree. I always code that way (in non-functional languages).
There is an interesting effect with AC distribution that leads to the statement "the amount of power produced must balance that consumed" that you sometimes hear.

On first thought this is a ridiculous statement: voltage is a measure of potential energy after all. If load is reduced, the voltage just hangs there and less power will be consumed.

But with AC distribution what you have is essentially a large rotating machine. The more power you put into it, the faster it spins. When you connect a generator to the grid, you phase match the AC waveforms, connect it, then start pushing the grid faster to inject power.

So the statement is true. If the load is too low, the frequency starts to go up. But it's also not true.. if each generator independently self limits the frequency, we would be back to the potential energy situation. But power plants want to push power into the grid- this is how they earn money.

So some plants self regulate and some do not, see:

https://www.e-education.psu.edu/ebf483/node/705

Ones that self regulate get to charge a premium for their unused capacity.

Even with DC only, you would be in the same situation. A power plant wants to make money, so it will want to push power into the grid, which for DC means pushing the voltage up.
I feel like Spacewar was the first video game. There are certainly other things that are similar are on computers, and entertaining... but they don't cross the threshold. However Spacewar has everything that a video game stands for.
Twitter: Microsoft ToDo now smarter at date recognition
> their writings (in particular novels) clearly show that they were unable to publicly confront basic facts about human life. And that is not a good thing for a novel.

Could you elaborate on this, especially with what basic facts are missing? My view on literature is optimistic about telling particular truths about society. For example, "Wuthering Heights" [0] looks like quite an honest view of society. Then again, this may be an exception more than the rule for that particular time period (I'm not personally sure, as I haven't read many books from that time period, versus others).

[o] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuthering_Heights
Times change. That was you then, not you now or your coworkers now.
They did have a shelter area. It wasn't enough, most can't survive a direct hit, it's just a fact of life in that area.

And if you leave every time there a tornado in the area you don't work for many months of the year. Instead you go to the shelter when it's very close, which is what they did (10 to 15 minutes before).

Don't listen to activists, they usually aren't interested in the employees, rather they just want to criticize the "external enemy". Offtopic but I've noticed most "environmentalists" are the same way, they aren't interested in improving the environment, rather they are just misanthropes.
Did you know that "blush" actually means "glance" in the context where you used it?
As an outsider, I think the conversation went off the rails here when you assumed the OP wasn't "going to connect with the article" based on their comment. This is now the 2nd time w/o reason you're implying that, whereas the OP is talking about general implications of the word choice (on the author and on people in general, not on people's emotional state while reading it).
I never have had a project fail due to it's tech. In my experience, projects rarely fail due to the tech, they fail due to the team and management.

If you get to the point you're referring to, e.g. Twitter having fail whale issues because they built entirely on mostly vanilla Rails, is a good problem to have and one you'll be able to get resources to fix once you get there.

Maybe it's just me but IMO your time would be better spent reading something like Predictably Irrational by Dan Ariely or brushing up on your psych 101 concepts. Learn to deal with the irrationality of your team, your customers, and your boss and your life will be a lot less stressful.

Good luck!
Also have the Pluggable tb3 dock and use 2 external monitors via it (+ another separate monitor).

What you described sometimes happens to me too, but definitely not multiple times a day.

If you don’t have it yet, I recommend purchasing SwitchResX software, as Apple’s own display management tool is garbage. What you can do is create custom “Display Sets” which are arrangements of monitors and custom settings/resolutions which you can then turn on/off. Ocassionaly a monitor will disappear, but then doing a “Detect Displays” in SwitchResX usually fixes it for me.
That software has largely made a lot of my monitor issues like saving layouts go away.
While a great comment, and not discounting how difficult of a problem it is, most people hate the garbage tier drivers and apps much more than the occasional jam or misprint.
Are you referring to eigen, the C++ library or eigen vectors/values, the mathematical construct?
Is there are part that does the rest? Deployment, Staging, CI, Backups & Restore, Rolling Upgrades with fallback, etc.... or is that still left as an exercise for the reader?
Massive salaries for programmers won’t last forever. Most people here on HN are self-taught; it’s a skill a large number of motivated people can pick up.

Eventually, large corporations will feel comfortable lowering wages once they have a secure grip on the market, and the tools programmers today made will be used against the next generation. It’s no different from millennials resenting boomers for burning economic bridges behind them with outsourcing and so on just to save a few dollars on costs and pull in higher wages for themselves.
If you don't want your technology to have a proprietary stack, then definitely checkout Nebula[1]. It's very easy to setup and works very well in my experience.

> Back to the divergence theorem, physics wants to have a 2 dimensional measure they write as dA and a three dimensional measure they write as dV, but there is a gap in their argument: They are necessarily working with what measure theory calls product measure and in particular Fubini's theorem, and there needs to be some orthogonality that is not made clear, in either math or physics.

Those are differential forms, defined explicitly in terms of submanifolds of euclidean space. Turning them into measures on the corresponding manifolds requires picking an arbitrary "unit speed" parameterization (or equivalent data) to absorb the equally arbitrary (from the intrinsic perspective) choice of embedding.

Sticking with differential forms and letting smoothness assumptions handle all the measure-theoretic difficulties for you is the principled choice and also the easy choice, so it should come as no surprise when physicists choose it.

> Physics in quantum mechanics keeps talking about superposition and linearity. Us math people know in fine detail just what linearity is -- it's central to linear algebra, Banach space, Hilbert space, integration, differentiation, and more. I have to question if the physics people have a clear understanding of linearity. Then there is superposition -- tough even to make a mathematically credible guess just what physics means by superposition.

obeys the superposition principle = has dynamics given by a linear operator. Or sometimes a bounded linear operator, continuous linear operator, etc. depending on context. Physics is no different from math in this respect.

> I'm tired of screaming myself to a sore throat over the claims that the wave functions of quantum mechanics form a Hilbert space. Hilbert space is a math idea, and in math departments we know quite well what a Hilbert space is, a complete inner product space. The "complete" part is in the sense of Cauchy, that every Cauchy convergent sequence converges. Well, the wave functions fail that completeness assumption.

State spaces in finite dimensional QM are projective Hilbert spaces, in a perfectly literal sense, with all the completeness properties you expect. You're right that intro QM mischaracterizes it though: the position (wlog momentum) "basis" is actually defined with respect to a rigged Hilbert space structure Psi \subset H \subset Psi^*. This is also the appropriate approach for the infinite dimensional case ... and a completely inappropriate approach for teaching freshmen.

> The last time I was reading from Feynman's Lectures on Physics I recall, before I wanted to get my money back, that he claimed that a particle of unknown position had probability distribution uniform over all of space. WRONG! It's a trivial argument, maybe even at the middle school level, to show that no such distribution can exist.

Again, he's teaching freshmen: don't confuse lies-to-children with genuine misunderstanding. Physicists are well aware that plane waves are not actual states.

Even the air pollution literature is most likely biased: the negative effects are real, but the studies are exaggerating them.

The other thing is add is the only way to impact the school system is to create an alternative (private or charter) or get your own people on the school board. Or if you’re really rich, hire a lawyer, but that’s kind of an %sshole move because then the school district has to either cave to everyone hiring a lawyer, or fire the music teacher to pay for legal defense.
Notably none of these use quantum gravity, and none will for a while. I'd really really like us to collectively figure out where the hell spacetime comes from, and I definitely think it's worth the money, but let's not pretend that if theoretical quantum physicists would just roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty there'd be lots of practical applications.

You should check out the comment section of a woodcrafting (or the like) Youtube channel. I think 'tool obsession' is probably a personality trait and one you're more likely to see in your day to day in programmers than in other crafters due to proximity to the internet. Oh, sewing rooms are another good hit for that as well.
But what if the processor may be made organic, or encoded in DNA, so that replication and protein synthesis is akin to solving the problem? The "computer" grows exponentially, rather than linearly, and so for larger problems, it grows to the size that solves the problem?

It's interesting that this phenomenon is much more prevalent in game development, as opposed to (for example) web development: some people build their own web development frameworks, but it seems like every game dev tries to make an engine at some point.

My theory why: good web frameworks consider developer experience to be of paramount importance, and invest heavily into examples, documentation, and API improvements. Unreal and Unity by comparison are unpleasant to work in. The UI is clunky, the examples cap out after a certain point of complexity, and community input is almost nothing when compared to the Django, Express, Rails, or language-specific ecosystems.

Anyway, I can't say I've ever made it far enough down the rabbit hole to want to make my own language... but I know for me, the desire to make my own engine* has punctuated every attempt over the years to get better at both Unity and Unreal

*Acknowledgment that I might be partially disproving my own point, as I've tried to build both my own web framework, AND my own game engine... but I spent a lot more time on the game engine (https://github.com/RobertTownley/gamehook)
