> Why should you a consumer think in any other terms? Why are gas users getting energy at 1/3rd the price you are?

What is "energy" then? Are you trying to compare effectiveness of EVs vs. combustion engines as... building heat?

No engine exists under the laws of physics to deliver useful work with that "energy" you're getting cheaply in gasoline. That's a ridiculous point. You buy gas, just like you buy electricity, to move your car. So measure the motion, not the heat.

I did email Heikki the following questions, in case if someone from Neon is around here.

a) How does Neon compare to polardb https://github.com/ApsaraDB/PolarDB-for-PostgreSQL.

b) The readme mentions a component "Repository - Neon storage implementation". Does it use any special FileSystem? Any links to read more about it?

c) Heard the cold start is a second (IIRC), how does that value differ if one runs Neon on bare metal instead of k8s?
Yeah good point, I've noticed in some cheap office LED rollouts.
Luna/UST was a completely degenerate & risky design; they were allowing 1:1 redemptions between the value of Luna in USD & the UST stablecoin.

As the market cap of Luna skyrocketed it allowed for the minting of massive quantities of UST, and then as the price of Luna declined the value of the tokens backing UST was less than what was in circulation and contributed to the death spiral.

No amount of demand for Luna block space was ever going to keep this thing pegged. The only thing defending it was open market moves from extremely well capitalized trading desks which is uh decidedly not "algorithmic" nor "decentralized".

There's other stable coins with similar mechanisms like Synthetix / SUSD which are also risky, but AT LEAST in their case they require 400% overcollateralization in SNX to mint SUSD.

What's shocking is how many people, who ostensibly should be in the top 1% in terms of finance IQ, (e.g., Mike Novogratz, Raoul Pal, etc.) were seemingly unaware of these risks and never examined how it worked while shilling it to retail investors.

In places like NYC the feel-good measures (like not prosecuting low level crimes, like shoplifting and petty theft) cost the city tax revenue due to businesses leaving and tourists becoming more reluctant to come. Headlines have effects.

Ironically, that tax revenue can be used to reduce these very issues, a secondary effect not brought up often.
I see a lot of people say that software shouldn't be patentable, but I actually think the real problem is the "ordinary skill in the art" test seems to be entirely broken / almost absent in that domain.

A lot of high value software patents seem to be things that would be in the realm of a solid candidate to come up with on the spot in a 30 minute interview for a programming job, and not because the technique is "known". Compressing individual channels is definitely something that sounds in the realm of good intern candidate to be able to come up with the idea on the spot in an interview.

So the problem isn't really software parents intrinsically, it's that they are so absurdly out of line with the "invention costs" such that "something an average programming intern would be able to come up with independently has a high chance of actually being patented". If the parents were only actually for "nonobvious to someone who hasn't been exposed to it before" things then they wouldn't really be a problem.

The wait wasn't half a decade. There was like a 6-month period where GTX 10-series cards were hard to get, and there were nearly two years where GPUs were plentiful before the chip shortages.

Feedback for a Weird Reed-Solomon Erasure Coding Type Project
Link - https://github.com/XxSNiPxX/scatternet

I've been looking for feedback about a concept related to "data sharding".

The primary questions are -

Why is it stupid to connect data into a coordinate space and has it been done before?

What am i ignorant about when suggesting the concept of saving data while storing similar things? What is this similar to?

Excerpt - If i store "Hello" where each letter is one coordinate space and a sequence of them creates "Hello" , a new word "Hello world!" may just reference an already defined sequence and store "world!"

What are the massive negative externalities? Port of of Work/Waste L1s like BTC and ETH burn a fuck ton of power, but it’s climate impact is mostly in places where sketchy municipal managers with cheap coal would be burning it anyhow.

They also drive massive interest in renewables and soak up a fuck ton of otherwise wasted renewable electricity. When the aluminum market tanked with COVID the ETH boom caused a net increase in Icelandic geothermal exploitation.

Dirty mid-level PRC officials in NK-adjacent, coal rich provinces are a problem, but a different problem than BTC mining.

There’s arguable nothing on earth keeping so much renewable energy in-demand, fully-loaded, at all possible times than blockchain.

So what’s your beef?
Why is this so prevalent in wealthy U.S. cities but so much less in cities like Paris and London. These are more expensive (relative to income), dense cities with housing shortages and smaller GDP's.

Maybe there's something to be said for management of tax revenue and prioritization. Also petty theft is prosecuted in these cities.
Don't confuse the city and county of San Francisco with the whole bay area. There are NIMBYs just like everywhere else out here, but San Francisco is already one of the most densely populated cities in the country. You don't have to look very far (e.g. Brisbane) to see places with little-to-no housing fighting new developments tooth and nail.

No internet connection required to use the bulbs. The bulbs connect to a hub over Zigbee, the hub connects to your LAN. Making that connection requires the Hue app, as far as I know.

Once the bulbs are set up with the hub, you can control it on your network using HomeKit or open source equivalents, and don't need the Hue app for anything but firmware updates.

This article convinced me taking the plunge would be reasonably safe, and I've been pleased with it. https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/51910.html?thread=1921222
It “is” in the generous sense that the quoted section interprets generously for the purpose of interpreting it generously.
As a census surveyer during the pandemic, I can say that questionnaires are pursued pretty relentlessly, at least in Canada. There will always be some people that refuse or can't be surveyed for some reason, but it's about as accurate as a human to human data collection process can be. The public only has access to somewhat lower resolution data, which probably nullifies the necessity of accounting for every single person anyway.

In some cases, especially with volatile/vulnerable populations living in apartments and what not, we'd revisit the same residence at least 3 times if we don't get it done the first time.

The less than 20% number in some neighborhoods seems like it'd be possible, especially if it's very dangerous, but unlikely, though I don't know the U.S system.
The trucker's hitch is usefull because you get a mechanical advantage to tension your line.

legitster says >"- For back pain, there is almost no medical solution other than surgery. If surgery is optional, don't take it. The recovery from a back surgery is brutal and long and can come with unintended consequences."<

I have two friends who had almost identical spinal & neck issues: both got no relief until they had surgeries. Both say "Why prolong the suffering? Do the surgery!" One of them did have to wear a neck brace for months, but that was because his surgeon found the old neck vertebra was too delicate to keep, and so cut a chunk of bone out of his patient's hip, hand-carved it to the shape of a healthy vertebra and inserted it into his patient's neck. When the patient awoke he complained about the pain in his hip (his neck was fine).

Now that's the kind of surgeon I want!

That is my answer.

> As far as I am aware, there do exist (even quite some) vendors who offer the option of paying immediately and sending you the new XBox or PlayStation as soon as they get their delivery. This is a queuing system.

The difference between those and what Apple is doing is that Apple gives you fairly accurate estimate on when your iShiny will ship, and Apple prioritizes their direct to consumer inventory to make sure those ship times remained reasonable even for their most in demand products at the height of the silicon shortage in 2021. Most of the online stores I've seen offering queues are smaller retailers without enough pull to get consistent inventory from manufacturers, and being the only sellers offering a queue at all meant they got flooded with more orders than their meager allotments from those manufacturers could ever hope to fulfill.

I suppose I could just write "Yes". USDC will probably change their policy somehow to enable fractional reserves at some point since the incentives to do so in the future are huge.

Also a company surviving for a long time is not an especially solid predictor of future lifespan. The list of financial institutions founded at the same time that didn't survive is so large nobody bothers to keep track and the management today is (in the style of the ship of Theseus) completely different from the historical decision makers.

It’s a tale so old that “server” lost meaning before we could even be in a state of “serverless”ness. First there was a cloud, and then there was no clarity of what conditions a process even runs under. And it wasn’t good, but it became stable. And on the next day, there were databases from on high, as if they’d spontaneously burned a bush.
Why not actually follow up on this, and find an example of someone with success [that you're advocating], that goes beyond or similar success without the twitter following.

> You need “more people with good enough living conditions so that they can work on solving problems”.

no, this isn't true, because randomly feeding people isn't going to just magically make them able to solve problems like fusion.

What is needed is productivity increases, from perhaps existing investments or new investments, which is then used to fund research work. This funding can come privately, or via public taxation.

The popular image of an einstein like loner working in their own garage, funded by their own wealth (or some sort of social security funding), and creating world changing tech is such a mythos.

> it just kills whatever is using the most memory, which in my experience is almost always the thing that I least want it to kill.

I've had the opposite experience. Usually when I'm out of memory, it's because some single process has gone crazy with memory allocation. Killing it brings the system back to "normal", but killing anything else would just lead to said crazy process gobbling up the newly-freed memory, and then being back to where I started.

> And it does it late enough that everything is broken anyway and the system sits thrashing forever.

This part I agree with.
OK, you're an attorney, I also passed the Patent Bar (and am a Patent Agent). But it was before AIA. I don't think the 2004 Patent Bar had anything about re-examining claims, but it sure as hell did cover PCT, reissues, death of the inventor, and other crucial points of law :)

Maybe I'm jaded but my understanding is that even if we broaden to "useful content" instead of "quality learning" and include things like "diy bookbinding" YouTube videos, that the amount of time spent on conspiracies, memes, celebrity gossip type content is consumed at orders of magnitude higher rate than the "useful" content even on YouTube, and then Instagram/Facebook/TikTok that divide is so wide that there probably is more consumption of TOS violating content than educational content.

It's still great that useful content is there for those who want it, and arguably good that it is subsidized by the junk, but it's not like "useful content" is keeping the lights on for YouTube.
> Nevertheless, one of the things that React 17 changes is how event delegation works.

This is one of the reasons why I only ever touch React or similar frameworks when forced to do so at gunpoint. If a library author is on their 17th major version and is still deciding how core stuff like this works, I have no confidence they're ever going to settle on a long-term solution.

Just give me the standardised web APIs thanks, that's a perfectly suitable framework. At least these converge towards consistency and have been (and will remain) stable for decades. The last thing I want to spend my time on is constantly chasing API breakages.
