> That is just a technicality. Housing is the greatest one time and recurring expense most people have and change in prices for housing has the greatest impact on their perception of how expensive things are.

Taken into account, at least in Canada:

> In measuring changes in the cost of owned accommodation, Statistics Canada considers six essential components: mortgage interest cost; replacement cost; property taxes; homeowners’ home and mortgage insurance; maintenance and repairs; and other owned accommodation expenses.

> Rather than looking at the price of purchasing a house, the idea is to treat a homeowner as if they are renting their own dwelling, and track any expenses that a landlord would normally incur. As Fred Barzyk, Director of Consumer Prices Division explains, the question we want to answer in the shelter index, is “what does it cost to run your home?"

* https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/blog/cs/shelter-cost

See notes on 2021:

> The owned accommodation price index (+4.1%) rose at a faster pace than the rented accommodation price index (+1.7%) in 2021.

> The upkeep of a property, or the homeowners' replacement cost, was up 11.4% on an annual average basis, compared with a 2.0% increase in 2020. The homeowners' replacement cost, a key driver of owned accommodation price growth, is linked to the price of new homes. New home prices rose consistently throughout 2021. The homeowners' replacement cost increased the most in Manitoba (+17.6%), with Prince Edward Island (+14.7%), Quebec (+14.3%) and Nova Scotia (+12.1%) also recording strong annual average movements.

Yeah you can. Boomers who hate their children do it all the time, it's called a reverse mortgage. You stay in the house until you die, then the bank takes it.
No. It is not the last. There is still one in the Upper West Side.
Because the people who buy new cars don't buy small cars. The USA is a horrible market for small cars, EV or no - most people who would like small cars already drive used cars.

Rust probably had a fairly small "language footprint" when it was only a few years old with no production use cases as well. I've used both in some small hobby projects. I like writing zig significantly more than rust, but we'll see how long the language remains small and compact.

But you're mistaken. The Cybertruck has none of those features, since it doesn't exist. It's entirely vaporware. When they start shipping them -- if that ever happens -- then you can list what features it has, and what they charge for them.

It comes from combining traits. Power of course, if one were to lose power, for instance the power of one's testimony by being eg caught making false witness, it is much harder to keep ahold of money without that credibility. They basically have to be in balance, money and power. And note power isn't negative, many people say the whole "absolute power corrupts absolutely" which comes from Lord Acton, note he's a member of a nobility.

Power is necessary in order to do good, or to be righteous, it is not only over others, it is for others, to protect others as well.

And further, it is the combination of, in one case for me, being good-looking and technical, keeping my agent in business by providing tech help nobody else could give him, when I was a model, none of the other guys was technical and I was very technical. Or...I don't know, music and coding, to make the score for a video game. There's many.
It's mostly cultural I suspect. There are almost no technical reasons and very few financial reasons why it wouldn't be possible. But to get there you'd have to make cities (as that's where those ares are the most useful) a bit more like Europe and Japan (for living, not for driving around in a big car), and people don't like change and in the US it's even more of a dislike it the change seems to come from an example outside of the country.

Most of this suspicion is cobbled together from my own experience in the US (mostly the costs, not the middle part), and publications like NotJustBikes and about the way some US cities tend to grow outwards because investing in making what's already there healthy to live in is not as profitable as waiting for gentrification-ripeness and building around it in the meantime.

There are no conclusions to draw here. The study doesn't "show" anything -- it indicates a need for further research. I'm disappointed that Nature.com is engaging in this kind of sensational journalism.

From their own article:

> He praises the study, which was difficult to perform because of the amount and quality of data, but adds that it is limited because it does not break the data down by key factors, such as the participants’ medical history. “These are very important questions we need answers to,” Putrino says. “We don’t have any really well constructed studies just yet.”

The study also doesn't seem to control for comorbid mental health issues. The pandemic caused a massive spike in anxiety and depression, which (by themselves or due to medications) can result in the same symptoms used to diagnose long Covid in this study: brain fog and fatigue.

There really is nothing to report here yet.

> Hmm, how many bits are you allowing for the 'number'?

32. Which I would expect to be overkill compared to the precision of your average sensor.

> Also, you need to identify which user it belongs to, as well as - in our case - which device and which sensor on that device.

Which is the same for big chunks of readings, so I'm assuming a system that's able to store that metadata once per several readings.

> How do you protect against bit flips?

I dunno, I was just saying the cost of memory. You can have bit flips on any kind of server no matter how you're doing it, and they might get persisted, so I'd say that's out of scope.

> average incidence of uncorrectable errors per DIMM

That average is highly skewed by broken DIMMs though. They found a mean of a few thousand correctable errors per DIMM, but they also found that 80% of DIMMs on one platform and >96% of DIMMs on the other platform had zero correctable errors.

> Your tolerance of errors may differ, but you'd probably want to replicate the data at least once. Disk seems a good choice, for the added benefit that you can actually survive a power cut without going bust

Sure, disk for backup sounds lovely and would be extremely cheap compared to the RAM. I wasn't advocating having only the RAM copy, just saying that depending on other factors it might be reasonable for a RAM copy to be the main analysis database even for sensor data.

The post that started this thread directly says you should be using persistent files as write-only dumps/logs.

"What does a cosmic-spanning-AI want to do with its life"

Reproduce, evidently, or it wouldn't be cosmic-spanning.

But: of what use is intelligence if you just want to span the cosmos? Would evolution favor less intelligence over more if the goal is just to spread at maximum rate?

There are many things intelligence might be good for. Adapting to an environment that is uncertain and changing would be one. The better you are biologically adapted to your niche, and the more stable your niche is, the less intelligent you need to be. Cooperation would be another. The more social your species is, the more you need to be able to coordinate with one another, which means being able to communicate. Competition with other intelligent forms might be another. Intelligence could be seen as an arms race where in order to beat out the tribe next door, you need to out-think them.

Humans tick all 3 boxes. We are social animals who survive by cooperation, but in a rapidly changing world full of other intelligent animals who are always competing with us for resources. That's a recipe for intelligence. You will find extraterrestrial intelligence in situations where similar forces are at work.
This sounds more like issues with snap (and its isolation model) than systemd.

Power issues are always a pain. I built out the Linux OS for a fleet of mobile robots and found that the defaults for power management were very poor, but everything is there to get a bulletproof system. I could see how there would be issues with more unique laptop setups or external monitors/keyboards and whatnot.
By global, I mean Universal, all-encompassing. Advocating for one such system is like advocating for a global government.

There are better alternatives. Local, discrete, networked systems that can co-evolve with its participants. They reduce of chance of total collapse of the system and can be isolated when needed, stopping the risk of contagion and avoiding "too big to fail" entities.

No, not really. Pointing out the injustice of a company mistreating and burning out its workers in order to produce one of the richest billionaires, usefully illustrates the inequality we face globally.

Check out NuCypher (I work there)
It attempts an approach at dealing with this.

It's open source, decentralized, there are hundreds of providers... and it doesn't rely on trust. As long as less than half of them are forced, coerced or compromised you should be ok.
Yeah, even a furnace replacement (was about $8k let's say, including AC) that should be done every 20-30 years is $25-35 a month - those things start to add up if you account for all of them. Roofs are 40 year so you might escape that one, but all the appliances are probably 10-15 year lifespan, and most people wouldn't even think of a new fridge as "maintenance".

It's because culturally we don't like them because we grew up with space. Small cars don't have enough space. We dislike small cars same way we dislike the small hotel rooms in EU.

Also, why do you care about the small size of an ev? Since it is electric powered it's not more polluting. Yeah, you can't park as many but dig deeper or build up.
They don't really care. A professors first priority is to do research, second priority is to teach, and last priority is to catch cheaters.
Considering things from the mobile perspective (but largely true for internet too):

> Yes, most of it is empty and unserviced

Well, that's the key, isn't it. Look at the highly optimistic coverage maps from the companies and you'll see how little of Canada is covered. Actual coverage is significantly poorer than those coverage maps indicate outside urban areas.

> but building a national network costs the same amount no matter how many users it has

These "national" networks are a few paltry routes across the country and in no way compare to the national networks of other countries.

The most obvious counter to the apologists' landmass argument is the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan where mobile rates were half that of the rest of Canada despite having lower population densities than most of the other territories. They both had robust state-owned companies that competed with the big 3 (likely soon to be big 2) and all 4 profitably operated at these lower rates. In a very controversial move, the state-owned company in Manitoba (MTS) was privatised in 1996 and bought out by one of the big 3 in 2017. A few years later the rates in Manitoba rose to match the rest of the country. This highlights the real reason for expensive mobile in Canada.
The US is all about Big and Powerful, and the last 20 years of SUV marketing did the job, too, so small cars simply don't sell.

But lest my fellow Europeans feel smug and superior: the same thing has been happening in the EU. What is being marketed is mostly SUVs and in lower-income countries (like Poland) they have become the "prestige" car to get as a result. And if you want to get an electric which isn't tiny and isn't an SUV either, you don't have a choice. There is no reasonable electric BMW 3 Touring.

That would definitely end up in a spiral where you can only keep making bigger cars so they can't get crashed to death by other cars.

I didn't "push" my son. I did teach him myself what I knew, for years. He can play with both hands and sing along. We visited one nearby conservatory where one of his friends was going to study and talk with some teachers. He finally decided to pass.

Spare batteries go for peanuts. The fact that you can charge one off of your truck, which then loses the corresponding charge, is entirely irrelevant. At best it's a silly sales pitch for something you'll never use, like that Rivian camping kitchen thing.

The modern Ivy League campus is a popularity contest amongst professors. Universities are filled with a growing cadre of administrators, and the administrators focus on appeasing student complaints, always taking the side of students against faculty.

Professors are afraid of upsetting students, or being called bigots if a person in some protected identity group gets a bad grade and complains about bias. This is an inevitable consequence of campus culture having a strong belief in guilt-by-accusation.
