> If you think "oh but we can't make change too radical, it wouldn't work", that's what they said before we ended up with the technology of today!

No, the technology of today developed extremely slowly for the most part, it evolved in tiny, tiny steps, sometimes taking centuries.
But this was the public statement of Putin himself and captured Russian soldiers, so...
I don't think it's a bad thing at all to have another similar zine.

For example, I miss the days when it wasn't just 2600, but we also had Blacklisted 411, THUD, etc.
Aaand internal leaked restricted bug show firefox is testing its frontend to use blink[1] ( developed by google ). I thought abc.xyz which is owned by google was an obnoxious thing to do which meant the internet began (abc) and ended ( xyz ) with google. But now its clear that it really is just them playing god. Really wondering how long till ftc breaks up google. Every fucking engine is now chromium derivative or google made.

edit: added leak link.

edit 2: Turns out to be fake, confirmed by mozilla employee[2]. Stupid 4chan.

Apparently "threat" was a typo for "thread". :)

This sort of data is the reason I have no confidence in the system, and have no financial retirement plan: the whole thing is a bubble.
I'm not too happy about very large lithium ion batteries as a mass market product in low-end vehicles. Lithium iron phosphate, which doesn't have the thermal runaway problem but stores less energy per kilogram, may be more appropriate there. Both BYD and Tesla are going that route at the low end.

Light electric vehicles (bikes, scooters, skateboards) are now causing a sizable number of fires in NYC.[1] It's mostly a battery quality problem, apparently. FDNY reported 28 battery fires in 2019, 44 in 2020, and 104 in 2021. Bike and scooter shop fires tend to result in multiple batteries cooking off.

One thing would stop much of this: making Amazon criminally responsible for selling power electrical devices which do not have verifiable UL certification.

It's not enough to say that a multidimensional scale might be a good idea. You have to decide how many dimensions there are, how to measure them, and gain consensus for the new way of doing it.

Until there's a new standard, or they see a need to do something different, scientists interested in intelligence are going to stick to measuring IQ.
Thanks for your comment @pphysch!

So for authoring an app, I tend to agree with you. Languages like Ruby/Python/Typescript are probably faster to get something working.

I try to consider productivity holistically though. With Go, there's a lot less fussing with the tooling. I've also found Go saves a lot of time when onboarding new teammates. This is because of Go's intentional decision to be conservative with syntax. After all, most developer time is spent reading, not writing.

I respectfully disagree with your preference to split your backend up over gRPC or HTTPS. I prefer the approach Shopify takes to break up it's monolith: https://shopify.engineering/deconstructing-monolith-designin...

Not ME/CFS, but really severe sleep apnea due to nasal congestion and recessed jaws.

I wasn't able to complete high school, spent ten years unable to leave my house, progressively degenerating into an early dementia like state. Couldn't even fully understand what people are saying to me.

Was largely disregarded and gaslit by doctors, family, people for being lazy and having a pathological lifestyle.

Took online friends buying me a CPAP to get any relief, but it's insufficient and I continue to be heavily disabled and unable to function enough to move forward and there is nobody out there who would help.

Increasingly contemplating ending it all. Just so tired of existing.
Business wise, I am sure its doing great despite the possibly dropping amount of DAUs. But it is a terrible terrible app that has become something completley different from what it once was.
Perhaps perfect granularity of social networks can be achieved if
little "towns" are aggregated on top of small Unix servers or VPS.

A 1GHz 1GB compute unit can probably handle 1000 people, with IRC
level chatting and light browsing a text protocol like Gemini.

If each "town" has a maximum population before it becomes a grind and
people want to move out there's a natural feedback mechanism.

Am elected local council can take care of some (sysadmin) things and
vote on new services and boundary (firewall rules).

If people identify with an online location, instead of an amorphous
brand maybe they'll take pride in the upkeep and so on.

It's an interesting metaphor/model, and the Tilde project certainly
seems to have proved it can work. I wonder what wisdom the inhabitants
could give to other federated social projects?
> Capitalists want you to spend that money as soon as possible instead of amassing vast amounts of it

No, capitalists want your money to be productive. You don't have to spend your money, though that is an option, you have many other options for what to do with your money.

I'm surprised the Germans didn't take any shots like this when developing the weapon. The idea of strapping a camera to the outside of the rocket doesn't sound particularly novel, but I guess they might have used telemetry to learn everything that needed to know?
In particular poor code is often only visible as unwieldy architecture. How someone does a little coding challenge does not tell you how they put the whole together, whether that's good or bad.
Corollary: maybe things that kill you, also lower IQ? E.g. lead poisoning.
The austerity measures imposed by the EU Troika increased preventable mortality in Greece.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/francescoppola/2018/08/31/the-t...

At the time, the German taxpayer rightly said "Why should I help the innocent citizens of Greece, when they can retire before me?"

EU solidarity was not possible, as this would have meant the Germans having some say in cleaning up Greek corruption and/or equalising things like retirement age, in return for fiscal stimulus from the German taxpayer.

Of course this can't happen under the EU, and will arguably never happen. So the only route is austerity.
Look, if the top 1% of people used to share 10% of a country's earnings, but now share 20% of a country's earnings, their relative contribution to total tax revenue will grow without any change to the tax regime.

So you need to consider the change in income distribution alongside any change in relative tax contributions. Otherwise the stats you cite are pretty meaningless

Successful wolves gain control over quite a lot of territory and rule it ruthlessly. Since land has value to all living things, and wolves control land, they are actually quite wealthy.
It does seem like they read the emails. A reminder that the web can be social.
Seemingly more plausible explanation: some form of underlying "individual biological healthiness" predicts both IQ and longevity.

Otherwise, you need to make the argument that IQ enables people to make better choices, but until recently in history human biology was a mystery to even the most educated. The famous "food pyramid", for example, promoted a high-carb diet and did not favour health or longevity.

Such underlying factors could be caused by random conditions; illnesses, environment, sleep habits, or very early in life - even in womb?
As for non typical wind systems, I was looking recently at some vertical axis wind turbines after seeing some flower/tulip designs and for anyone interested this Tesup Atlas 4 model seems to be as good as it gets [1]. Starts generating at 10mph and gets to 4kw at 35mph. Its about a 4ft square footprint and 50lbs so not in the same class as TFA but then again this will do more than trickle charge a cell phone.

> They don't want to kill all advertising and commerce on the web in the belief that content creators should be forced to work for love instead of money.

In the heyday of the web, people weren't doing anything for money and it created good content. Where is the good content now? A billion useless "Best $product to buy in $current_year" articles with 20 affiliate links to drown the web in SEO spam. Commercialization is a race to the bottom.

Just a random example, from this very forum, from Kenton Varda, who at one time maintained Protobuf at Google.

"Nah, you're assuming too much. Protobuf was thrown together in a fairly ad hoc way by a couple (brilliant!) engineers (Jeff and Sanjay) to help make the Google search index protocol easier to maintain. The specific design decisions in Protobuf were not carefully tested or weighed against other possibilities. They just did something that worked well enough, and it worked well enough that it was rapidly adopted by the rest of the company. It was then too late to change anything." [0]

"Emotional intelligence" is not a form of intelligence. It was basically invented out of nowhere by some pop sci person, and since then it seems like its main function is for people whose IQs are not very high to say "well, I have emotional intelligence, ergo I am smart"
This assumes a lot

First it suggests wealth = iq… maybe thats what you mean? Not sure what you mean but my following points are related to this

Second it also means produced viable offspring with healthy people, which really means wealthy people *nutted in healthy people. There is an extremely high correlation to wealth and which sex is choosing based on “health” (as opposed to equal or greater wealth)

Third, they probably nutted in unhealthy people too. Just might as well acknowledge the human flexibility in reproductive activity.

Fourth, it suggests the healthy person needed the wealth to maintain the healthy lifestyle or spread it to the wealthy person or subsequent offspring, here I have the most doubts

But if I misunderstood what you were getting at, let me know. Married may be less crass but its probably inaccurate
Either way, "designed a new ISA" really should be "came up with yet another cleaned-up MIPS RISC". Does it really matter who did the work?
They should get whatever they ask for. There isn't a workday where I don't think to myself Man, we'd be so screwed if curl didn't exist. It runs more business than Excel. If there ever was a Log4j style CVE in curl I'd just become a fisherman or a blacksmith.
> All the author did was replace traditional code blocks with an embed to a web playground (e.g. by s/Code/Playground/g in a MDX file).

Well, not surprising given that the article was about the web technology (which powers the application web, of course!). I might have been convinced otherwise.

There is indeed some negative feedback loop going here. But I think the cost to achieve interactivity has been decreasing over the time (compare with, say, 1990s' interactive CD) and the gap is still very significant, even with a very favorable condition (nowadays you can practically have interactivity anywhere anytime!). I'm happy to be proven wrong, but for now I'm not optimistic about that.
While IQ is a predictor of socioeconomic status, it's also actually a really good predictor of intelligence and almost everything else that we care about behaviorally, under pretty much every alternative measure that anyone has ever proposed.

A lot of people are very anti-IQ, but frankly they're usually just mediocre humanities mucklers who don't realize or accept that true intelligence requires the ability to do math, even if it's not your specialty or interest (the math geniuses amongst us are almost without exception 95+% in verbal ability).

Apple, Acorn Computers and VLSI were founding partners of ARM, if I remember correctly.

My StrongArm powered RiscPC was amazing for the time. It was strange that the contemporaneous Newton was powered by the same (and in some ways better) processor.

The connection between ARM processors being used in desktop and mobile devices is in its early DNA.

I suspect Americans are getting a little tired of the incessant, exaggerated culture wars stories constantly in the news.
I wished they hired people like you to write (or at least summarize) articles.
Real assets typically have a use value and an exchange value. Even if you can't sell such an asset (meaning it has no exchange value), you can still profit from it by using or consuming it (it does have use value). Fiat money, including crypto-currencies, are pretty special in this regard in that they only have exchange value, and no use value.
Depends on how you read it. It's an abbreviated headline format, where important but small words are omitted to have a punchier and shorter headline.

It's common with headlines like "<event> to <effect>". Like "rising interests to cause concern for home owners". I.e it's about causality/effect, not intention.

To make it more explicit, what are the omitted words?

Probably something like "[That] India bans wheat exports [is expected] to deepen [a/the] global food crisis". Or maybe [risks] or [could lead]?
Yeah, I'm glad these projects are emerging. I love svelte but I am not entirely convinced about how they push you towards sveltekit, especially in the docs. (I know there are adapters that allow you to use another backend but everything in the docs and examples push you towards NodeJS and sveltekit). It is as if react docs were written in a way that pushes you towards NextJS (they're from different companies so this is not the case, but I still think it is a good analogy).

I just don't want a NodeJS backend, all our team wants is to use a Golang backend which saves us ton of resources, which means less instances required, which means less $$$ (and Golang is awesome - performant, easy to read and write, easy to code concurrency, type safe without the hassle, built-in test suites/formatter/etc).

I'd love something like Laravel but for Golang+Svelte.
Grain of salt is an interesting comment as most regolith simulants do not include the perchlorates

The peak voltage of the battery might be 4.2V, but the average will be around 3.6 nevertheless.

The voltage before the energy enters the battery doesn't change the calculation of battery capacity (and its time to discharge) anyway.

EDIT: now I noticed that the calculation is about charging, rather than discharging. 4.2V makes better sense in that case.
Reading the emails is not enough: they would need to send some secret to the email associated with the account to link the power to exhange keys to ownership of the account. Just reading a legit-sounding email and relying on from-address is 100% suspectible to abuse.

I see. I still find this usage confusing, since in the lunar context it seems to simply refer to grain size (regolith -> soil -> dust), whereas terrestrially, the word "soil" has a much richer connotation.

The point is not the specific measure and it's theoretical soundness, but that empirically you will see staggering differences in performance from people with different IQ for most measures you may care to use.

In other words, most measures you might come up with are likely to be strongly correlated with IQ.
Since you looked at the study, did they find meaningful deviations at all?

This article only briefly touches on suicide so fast that I’m not even sure if they are saying higher IQ kill themselves less or not.
You could use "auctions" to capture that residual value if those were long-term land leases. But you'd still want to assess and tax land rent afterwards, because in practice high-stakes leases have proven vulnerable to government corruption.

> Inequality has increased but poverty has decreased. The world is so much wealthier now.

Perhaps, but this is largely a result of manufacturing (a primary source of middle class jobs) moving from developed nations to previously agrarian economies. The same cycles will repeat itself until there are no pockets of cheap labor left in the world for the owners of these corporations to exploit.
Yup.

One thing I'm wondering: superconductors are supposed to be more efficient because they waste no power as heat. But doesn't it take power to maintain such cold temperatures, even for "high temperature" liquid nitrogen temperatures? How does this compare to the energy we save from the lack of resistance in the superconductor?
The day everyone stopped growing their plants to deputize people for special professions you started to get inefficiencies in the system with some or many trying to game the process to gain their living. It’s inevitable, and to think you can just stop it by edict Is impractical.

The tattoos of the first artist mentioned are insane! https://instagram.com/tattooist_doy?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Funnily enough, all of this shit was made up at some point. IQ is hardly something that is without flaws. It’s all drawing lines in the sand. Intelligence is mainly just learning speed/capacity and pattern recognition/perception. Why is it so strange that this could also apply to the realm of the interpersonal as well as the classical?
I saw Pico8 a while ago and really liked it! Now I'm trying to make it "real", by creating a physical console that implements the API: https://github.com/DavidVentura/PicoPico

It's heavily incomplete, but it runs "Celeste" on an ESP32. Some small games also run in the Raspberry Pico (RP2040), but it does not have enough RAM for medium-large games.
"Server" in this context isn't just the front-end website (which is on Fastly), it include things like automatic builds (https://curl.se/dev/builds.html) and the mailing list, which would probably cost a bit of money (even if it's offloaded to dedicated services). $1,000 is actually a decent amount if you include the internal infrastructure that makes curl possible.
A thing that might collapse sooner than other things. People wanting generally to leave your country is more of a liability, people wanting to arrive at your country and work for cheap is more of an asset.
The Russians don't have reliable communications, so it's not like there's that much choice.

Furthermore, the level of training and education of the average Russian soldier is.. not great. Look at some of the things they did around Chernobyl for an example of their knowledge gaps. Same goes for their discipline ( low morale, poor training, corruption, encouragement of war crimes will do that).
past performance isnt a good predictor of future results, its just better than everything else

thats where we are with IQ as well

You are talking about money when their point is that it was a huge success as a product and it influenced a sea change in development practices.

No, not at all. They didn’t actually detail how they’d spend it.
How hard people work has never and should never affect how much they are paid. That isn't a factor in supply and demand except to the extent that people will be more hesitant to take hard jobs.
The economy isn’t money. I expect there may be other variables not included.

But like climate change, ignore the problems and things f up eventually in various ways. Probably later than you think, but in ways that spread everywhere and you can’t stop after they really start.

What he’s describing is a system that will be past the point of no return at some point if the rules of the game aren’t changed. That point may well be past. Our politicians and business owner interests are too invested in the current game and haven’t given a care past the last election cycle or annual report in a long time. They have too much control over too-large pieces of the economy. But the modern economy is also pretty large to be managed.

We could change the rules of the game. I know people who have advocated just defaulting on all the debt for years. If the debts are defaulted/wiped in calculated relationships (I forgive you X, you forgive him Y, he forgives her Z) maybe some of this becomes less painful. Not that we’re competent enough to do that, we’re the ones that gave Russia their current kleptocracy, thank you Harvard very much.
I can count on my fingers how many such people were there in the last century, that's incomparable to millions of lives that could be saved. :/
