> AC heats up the planet though ..

It doesn't.

The name heat pump explains it pretty well. It "pumps" heat from one place to another. In case of your AC from inside the building to outside. Yes, it generates additional heat from the electricity it uses.

But ...

It doesn't matter how you use energy on earth (except for mostly weird examples), because basically except for these weird examples, almost 100 % of the used energy will end up as heat anyway. It doesn't matter through what cascade of transformations the energy ends up as heat, whether you use electricity to boil water, or to power an EV, or to power a heat pump, almost 100 % of the input power will end up as heat anyway.

What are some weird examples? You convert captured solar energy into chemical energy (for example pure carbon or hydrocarbons) and store the chemicals forever, then you've prevented some of the captured energy from being turned into heat. Another would be to emit electromagnetic radiation into outer space. Or you could carry rocket fuel into space and just dump it there, unused.
But scatter/gather is a primitive operation for SIMD, so if you want a RISC-based version of it, that's exactly what you would provide. Having dedicated instructions for specific operations (whether for crc/aes/nnp or whatever) feels like a CISC-based approach, so I think I agree with the GP.

RISC vs CISC is about the simplicity of the instruction set, not about whether it's easy to use.
While the stock market may be stupid, it's not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme involves a fraudster lying about where the money is going and coming from, and thus defrauding people.

If people know what they're buying, and they later really sell it to a willing buyer without lying to them, that's not even any kind of fraud, let alone a Ponzi scheme.

Mailbag: Did I become a manager too soon?
Don't pat yourself on the back too hard. Finland just now cancelled its contract to build the Hanhikivi plant, of which a third would have been owned by Russia. The contract was finalized in late 2013, more than eight years ago. The stated reason for the cancellation was not political independence/saftey but the expected inability of Rosatom to deliver the project and increased risks due to the attack on Ukraine (https://www.hanhikivi1.fi/en/press-releases/fennovoima-has-t...).

Was Finland better prepared to ensure its energy independence? Absolutely. Nevertheless, they were about to forfeit some of the independence if Russia hadn't attacked Ukraine.

If you put on special dress for an activity, don't skip the helmet. Same as driving, actually: people who don special driving kit wear a helmet with that, everybody else drives without.

When I spent time in a French hospital after bike helmet use (not involving a car by the way, except for the ambulance that called the helicopter), I was really curious if I would continue that pattern or become of of those "helmet even on civilian clothes rides" people. Was expecting the latter, but nope, would still feel as alien as putting on a helmet to drive.
I get what you are saying but the point of my comment - and I see why it didn’t come off this way - is that it won’t be 8.5% for a decade, so no, buying a treasury bond is not -5.5%. To emphasize this point, I said we’d have a lot worse problems because for it to be true the US would be experiencing an unprecedented economic catastrophe.
“I asked why and was told that by the 1950s it was clear that the national economy had re-centered away from agriculture and small farm towns to a handful of big cities.”

You were told wrong by more than 30 years. The US was officially more urban than rural by the 1920 census but the demographic trend had been going on for 50 years before that.

By 1900 1 in 10 Americans lived in just 5 cities (NYC, Chicago, Philly, St Louis & Boston).

Perhaps it was deliberate, but your last paragraph (plaintext vs db) really just reinforces your point of standards. There's nothing particularly special about plaintext aside from its total ubiquity.

Everything today uses and understands ASCII/UTF-8 and we've used that, plus some handy human conventions like limited character count between newline characters, to build up tools like git to help manage the changes in smaller chunks.

There's nothing preventing us from doing the same for other formats if they become commonly supported or expected. Much like SQLite and some of the tools cropping up.

Either way, Thanks for the answer but your words would not convince me to have a kid if the result of everything you said meant that I would be significantly unhappier.

This is really what I'm driving at: What is it can you actually say to convince someone who's not a parent to become one despite the fact that it will make you significantly unhappier.

I mean you explained why you can't stop being a parent, you've explained the benefits of being a parent but you haven't explained why you should start being one despite knowledge of NET unhappiness in the future.
Race car drivers wear helmets, so clearly they help.
Specifically, the M1's NEON ALUs can handle 64 bytes per cycle on the big cores. Most Cortex can only do 32 bytes per cycle (Cortex X1/X2 is the exception), and the lower end designs are only 16B/cycle. Plus the pmull+eor fusion on M1 increases effective throughput by 33%, and I don't know if that's implemented on any Cortex.

Without those, the NEON version would fall to the same throughput as one CRC32X per cycle, or half the throughput on cores with 2x64bit ALUs.

All GDP is not equal. As an example, Ireland’s GDP was ~1/3 tourism, with covid they lost that GDP.

Russia GDP is primarily raw goods, commodities. They also have a decent domestic market for manufactured goods. Look up the global production of wheat, natural gas, oil, etc and look for Russia and Belarus. To put it bluntly, USA GDP is a mix and has everything from commodities to information tech to finance. Russia is a producer of raw goods.

Commodity prices are made at the margin, meaning a 1-2% reduction in supply could cause prices to go up 5-10% (similar for the reverse).

So Russia has an outsized ability to both weather sanctions (they don’t import as much raw materials, particularly energy) AND the world must continue to purchase their goods and/or dramatically reduce in production themselves.

For instance, German energy prices are up 500% (as of feb 2022) when compared to two years prior.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1267541/germany-monthly-...

It’s now up 1000-1500%, how is German GDP going to be impacted? While Russia’s will maintain much of its GDP, Germans will likely drop substantially, as they’re effectively deindustrializing. Their factories / industries can’t function economically at such high prices.

> so the calculus for russia is losing on all fronts

I see Russia winning on all fronts tbh. They’re increasing domestic resilience and culture. They’re also winning the war in Ukraine (see Mariupol, Donbas encirclement), and winning the economic war with the west paying them even with the sanctions.

What’s their goals? To me it seems they are achieving the objectives Putin laid out at the rambling speech at the beginning of the war (independence from the west and “freeing” Russian sections of Ukraine)

I find it so interesting people think Russia is losing. I just don’t see it.

It’s safer overall if it means there are fewer people willing to rob a home, whether it’s because (1) they’ve seen what happens to other people when they try, or (2) they themselves tried, and now cannot try again.
> The general advice is always to aim for a positive alpha.

On the contrary, for the past 20+ years the general advice has been to specifically aim for the alpha of zero ("just use index funds"), not for a positive alpha ("don't try to beat the market", etc.).

> No investor aims for a negative alpha, regardless of the economic climate.

Factors other than alpha are way more important for most people. Many retirees put a high value on low volatility or stability of dividends and are perfectly OK with getting a small negative alpha as part of the package.

Original hedge funds (before they joined a cutthroat trading jungle) set up with a similar goal in mind: a small negative alpha, but protected against the loss of the principal. And had plenty of wealthy investors who were happy with this deal.

Alpha becomes the critical parameter to optimize for when actively investing in times of turmoil (then a negative total return on a positive alpha on the down leg is a success). But few people actually do that, so few care about alpha.
Sure. It makes the profile slightly different. But is it enough different to eg say the risk of head injury is 99% reduced? I doubt it.

> Any form of voting can use secret ballot or not. Liquid democracy and ballot secrecy are entirely orthogonal issues and neither necessitate software.

But they're not orthogonal issues (particularly not in the format discussed in the paper, where chains of neighbours may delegate to each other until one person in the chain casts a vote). You can't have a system in which multiple votes are delegated to X and yet the identity of X is indistinguishable from the single votes of Y and Z.

> This isn't something that would happen. One would be made aware one had become a delegate.

That depends heavily on mechanism design though. If I'm aware that I've become X's delegate, the objection upthread is sustained because no secrecy exists and it is practical for me to purchase X's vote (and indeed to purchase and validate that I possess the votes of tens of thousands of indifferent voters). If I am simply aware at some stage that I have become someone's delegate and am not made aware that person is X, the level of secrecy means that I may rationally choose to delegate my votes to X without realising the two delegations cancel out.

Except the previous government gave out a lot more money.

Massive tax cuts, votes secured by giving over $40bn to farmers who were negatively impacted by a pointless and thoughtless trade war with China, and most of the COVID aid was given by the previous administration (although they did delay it because the previous President was insisting his name should be on a check that would be physically mailed to everyone).

The lack of ideas working towards reducing and reusing before recycling is deeply disturbing to me. My understanding is that many people and companies will consider a battery dead at a point where it still has a great deal of life left for other uses. There are plenty of places selling gently used, or even completely unused batteries at deep discount, which is great for solar and smaller vehicles like bikes. The weight isn't much of a concern for stationary solar beyond initial shipping, and a few extra pounds on a bike to get the same range for much cheaper than new has served me well. I would love to see shops pop up reusing batteries for bikes, golf carts, and more. I'm happy to see many gas powered bikes and golf carts in my area being replaced with electric.

Calling for legislation to recycle batteries without regard to the order of the 3 R's seems quite wasteful and likely to inhibit innovation with small scale solar and smaller electric transportation. Reduce, reuse, then recycle seems like a better idea than skipping the first two steps.

Totally anecdotal, but I know a couple who are renting out their house they highly and renting a place to live because the interest rate they secured (2.75%) means renters paid their mortgage and then some (about 40% on top), so they basically make like $200/mo to live somewhere else as renters pay for their home.

"The technical core of the article is the comparison of MongoDB and PostgreSQL, along with our experience in switching between them. We were motivated to change systems primarily for performance reasons: many searches that we wanted to support stalled on common inputs. We did not see a way to resolve the issue within MongoDB. Several missing features in MongoDB also pushed us toward shifting: support for arbitrary precision integers and transactions that allow multiple commands to be rolled back if there is a failure."

> Yes, I am saying that if you cook frequently for yourself, it takes more time to shop every day.

I don't think there is a single rule. I depends entirely which day/hour you do the shopping and where. When I lived in Switzerland supermarkets were closed from saturday at 5pm during the weekend. Which means doing your shopping on friday night or saturday would take a lot of time as a lot of people were doing the same. Doing it any other day of the week was much quieter.

I don't necessarily shop every day, but I do it several times a week. Also I don't buy my vegetables at the supermarket but at the fruteria (spanish place where you only buy fruits and vegetables). I mostly avoid premade dishes, I even do my own pizzas and tart doughs as well as bread sometimes. That means I am cooking every day. Problem with shopping once a week is I would have to decide for 7 breakfasts, 7 meals and at least 6 dinners. That is a lot of planning and live very little room for improvisation unless you are wiling to waste things or have a giant refrigerator which I have no room for in my european kitchen.

And yes I enjoy going out for a walk/ride every day after work so it is not annoying at all.

There is a lot of parameters to take into account, home space, schedules, shop opening hours, proximity, if tap water is drinkable and taste good...YMMV.
