It's a good thought experiment, but just that. The world isn't going to go back to text documents and rss for everything or give up the internet willingly. To make this happen we would either need to make this law (worldwide) or suffer some kind of unthinkable event that damages humanity significantly.
The system design choice was to make data visible to queries as soon as possible after being pushed to Monarch, to satisfy alerting guarantees.

Thus there was no queue like a pubsub or Kafka in front of Monarch.

At scale this required a "smoothness of flow". What I mean by this is that at the scale the system was operating the extent and shape of the latency long tail began to matter. If there are many many many many thousands of RPCs flowing through servers in the intermediate routing layers, any pauses at that layer or at the leaf layer below that extended even a few seconds could cause queueing problems at the routing layer that could impact flows to leaf instances that were not delayed. This would impact quality of collection.

Even something as simple as updating a range map table at the routing layer had to be done carefully to avoid contention during the update so as to not disturb the flow, which in practice could mean updating two copies of the data structure in a manner analogous to a blue green deployment.

At the leaf backends this required decoupling--to make eventual--many ancillary data structure updates for data structures that were consulted in the ingest path, and to eventually get to the point where queries and ingest shared no locks.

Joe Rogan: "Handsome fellow, kind sensitive guy" is pretty accurate. Something happened in 2019 where he went off the rails and is now being called a dictator and it is reasonable. Maybe hitler is too far, but it's Trudeau's own words that he was planning to not allow antivaxxers to be part of society. Hence Bill Maher's video.

Here's is 1 of Russel Brand's videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_GnClytz34

Bill Maher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i72czkSUsM

The gist of what happened. In the USA all but 7 states lifted all mandates. UK and much of europe had dates set to end the mandates or ended them already.

Trudeau on the otherhand in January 2022 increased restrictions putting thousands of people out of a job. Mostly bipoc because race plays a significant role in the remaining antivaxxer communities.

Trudeau knew race played a significant role and before the convoy showed up in ottawa, he started calling them white supremacists and racists. Meanwhile the mostly punjabi truckers thought it was pretty hilarious to be called white supremacists with unacceptable views.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/prod.static-content.quillette.com/2...

Trudeau wouldn't even send a staffer to speak with this legitimate protest. Not once would he meet with them. Instead he initiated a never before used national emergency, whose requirements is that ANY other law must be used before this one. That declaring national emergency cannot be used to crush a protest. That's exactly what they did.

Obviously gone much further than when the canadian police arrested indigeonous over protesting pipelines. Or even more recently ottawa police arrested some children who were protesting dress codes. Protesting in Canada has been made illegal.

Which means democracy doesn't exist anymore. The unrestricted right to protest is a fundamental requirement of democracy. If we aren't a democracy anymore, what are we?

We could go back to letters. And then scientific findings will be silos, our medical progress would be in the stone age, people would find out their loved one is sick after they've passed, and so on. There are wonderful things technology has enabled us to do.

But the sampling of the internet we're exposed to is heavily biased to hate speech and nonsense - the internet is pretty much social media for many. Looking through that lens, I'm leaning towards your view.

But there's also that other side.

They controlled for this (in the version of the experiment for which the results are reported in the article): they offered it as part of a campus cafeteria meal (and integrated it into the cafeteria billing), so the subjects were already paying for something whether they bought a chocolate or not.

A 3 day weekend sounds about right - plenty of time to decompress, to do fun stuff, to take care of responsibilities, to reflect and explore. Technological increases in productivity should be used to give us all increased leisure time - which is in itself productive (in terms of being better humans), and even drives demand for the entertainment sectors.

Here are a bunch of different media people use to grow cyanobacteria:

https://www-cyanosite.bio.purdue.edu/media/table/media.html

Mostly they need nitrogen, phosphate, and sulfur to make protein and nucleic acids, and trace metals,ions, and some vitamins to use as cofactors for enzymes. In the wild, the limiting nutrient for cyanobacteria is often iron or nitrogen.

They don't need an added carbon source in their media since they get to eat dissolved CO2 from the air. Every carbon atom in newly synthesized molecules comes from CO2, and there are (very roughly) 10^10 carbon atoms per bacterial cell. http://book.bionumbers.org/what-is-the-elemental-composition... . So if you know the growth rate you can estimate the carbon fixation rate.

Saddam is a ruthless dictator, no question about it. The middle east has been already in chaos since Sykes–Picot and repeated international interventions were only making things worse.

SSDs will have higher latency than ram, and I seriously wonder if they actually can hit 7GB/sec, or only theoretical. Ram is faster, always, in latency and bandwidth.

> I've benchmarked some not-so-old servers (the entire box, not a VM!) as capable of only 35 GB/s streaming reads from main memory!

Then you have either a low-end server or something is very wrong (I think you benchmarked wrong, see below). You should be getting maybe 15 GB/sec per channel, so 4 channel = 60GB/sec, for a decent server you may well have 6 or 8 channels. (figures may be a bit off but 35 is puzzling me).

You may have measured on a single core, but each core has its own mem reading stuff so it should multiply up if your benchmark uses extra cores.

Anyway, I have to get back to work on my dual-core haswell. Good luck!

Just regarding OpenAI's pricing, the usage is paid for at the end of the month (Stripe's pricing would indeed make it unfeasible to charge for each cent individually, hence they bulk-charge at the end of the month).

I could imagine The Economist charging me at the end of the month for the 20 articles * 10 cent I consumed.
Err, I did
If this were one paper in isolation, I'd call it an honest attempt at good science gone-wrong by a lack of consultation with theoretical computer scientists and specialists in thermodynamics.

However, I think this is just *the entire field* -- which is then different. I think a whole field is pseudoscience when it systematically engages in the same games. I think likewise of much fMRI work,... all the way to basically the whole of nutritional science, etc.

If the premises of your project can be pretty quickly falsified by relevant domain experts, and you build a whole field out of it, you slip into my category of "pseudoscience".

This paper explicitly tries to prescribe to engineers (!!!) where their "focus" should be, having absolutely no warrant to do so. A trivial application of the same analysis to CPUs would provide the relevant baseline comparison the paper should have made. With this analysis, the key results of the paper would be exposed as useless.

I have little sympathy for all this now: it's a research hype cycle craze to apply random bits of computer science to random bits of science in the most hairbrained manner.
We kind of do have it, but hidden behind prepays/pooled payments. Nobody wants to deal with people actually paying $1.5 for something. Just processing that from a card is not worth it unless you're a massive company. (AWS does charge me $0.46 for S3 on some account) But my Nebula subscription is effectively a few micropayments in a trench coat. Same for Vultr.

The only time I'm touching actual micropayments is when someone sends me $0.50 through Brave.
Sure, that too.

Actually, the important odds are: given that you've met a 75-year old explosives professional, how likely is it that he was skilful instead of lucky?

I do similar, it's a relatively small but important SQLite database so every five minutes I take a backup using that method, and check the generated SQL files into remote git repositories.

One on GitHub which is just a snapshot, a single commit in an otherwise empty repo, force pushed. This is for recovery purposes, I don't need the history and would probably run afoul of their service limits if I did so.

And the other on Azure DevOps which has the entire commit history for the past few years. This one is a bit trickier because the pack files end up exhausting disk space if not cleaned up, and garbage collection interrupts the backups. So it clones just the latest commit (grafted), pushes the next commit, and wipes the local repo. No idea how this looks on the remote backend but it's still working without any size complaints, and it's good to know there's an entire snapshotted history there if needed. As well as being able to clone the most recent for recovery if GitHub fails.

This is an extension of the existing law 101 that already governed language in the province, leading to the provincial language police, OQLF. This is not the same as bill 21, which regulates religious symbology and usage, although it’s in the same spirit. The Nothwithstanding clause of the Canadian and Quebec charters of rights and freedoms is being used in advance when passing these laws.

Note to those interested in working in Quebec: they control the initial step of the Canadian immigration process for provincial residents. So you better be comfortable with French and able/willing to pick it up.

With DAVx⁵ (https://f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/) I find contact and calendar sync with Nextcloud to be quite reliable.

That said, for file syncs I do prefer Seafile over Nextcloud. I don't think I'm the only one that prefers Nextcloud just for contact/calendar sync because Mailcow uses the Nextcloud platform just to accomplish that, with file sync disabled.

On desktop the sync integration is fine. It's only on mobile that the experience is lacking.

Of course this has been tried. I think you are doing people a disservice (and with respect frankly it is quite insulting) by thinking they have not tried to use simple will power.

Intel is in general heavily constrained by whatever Microsoft chooses to do with Windows. It's not like Apple where they can introduce a new hw feature and then immediately use it in the operating system. For example the M1 Macs have the big little architecture integrated with Grand Central Dispatch. Many, many interesting Hardware features have died in the Intel world because the Windows team simply did not add good enough support for it and there was nothing Intel could do.

In this case detecting DRM software and scheduling it differently would require sophisticated support in the operating system, or even ideally DRM support implemented by the operating system. However these things are probably beyond Microsoft's capabilities in its current state.
