From what I’ve read, laminated timber is quite resistant to fire. In a fire, a layer of charcoal is generated on the outside which insulates the structural core, and it’s therefore more likely than reinforced concrete to maintain structural integrity.
But those people and culture and amenities are just other people, and when the core economic engine of the city is gone, those people leave too.

Imagine you're a Jamaican halal chicken shop owner and your core business is professional office workers walking by on the way home from work and stopping in for a bite. When that office worker is no longer there because he can make the same salary and cut his expenses in half by moving 1000 miles away, you're going to go out of business. Maybe you move 1000 miles away also so that you can afford your rent. This is how the cascade happens.

Theaters and museums and all those aren't why cities have a lot of people, those exist in cities because that's where the people are. when people become more spread out, those things will follow suit.
I don't like when podcast creators publish on Spotify only as it is not even possible to change playback speed in their web ui. And yt-dlp doesn't work either. They want me to download their app & create an account to just be able to listen so I mostly seek through it quickly or skip the podcast completely. They should follow the Netflix path, it is barely usable service.

What is the name for the fallacy in which you make an analogy that does not reflect the real-world territory at all, and then draw a conclusion from it?

“Doing” is not at all enough. (Well, it shouldn’t be.)

Peer into any random engineering org and you’ll inevitably find loads of engineers driving around in circles with the wind in their hair, smiling with a sense of how “fast” and productively they’re moving!

The topic of deploying RL agents in games itself is interesting, with pretty mature tooling for interacting with environments.

However the author switches to imitation learning instead of blank-slate RL to accomplish a fraction of what the title promises. I was disappointed.
There was another PR created in the repo tagging the same group which someone posted a shock porn image to, which happened to embed and display in Gmail when I opened the notification email.

Pretty sure this is going to provoke a response.
We do say $200 of value was destroyed when your stock portfolio goes down $200, though. If you think about it, it is the same thing… that real estate value is owned by some business that has shareholders (either public or private)… the $500 billion in value that was destroyed came from the shareholders of the real estate companies. It is the same thing.
I just opened the email, didn't need to see that. The image embedded and rendered in Gmail.
That's a part of it too, moving to smaller cities, but that's still a massive economic reshuffling.

I think you're grossly overestimating the number of people that live in cities for reasons other than economic opportunity. That is the entire value proposition of a city, that was the driver that led to urbanization in most countries as they developed. You might be willing to pay 3x as much in rent for the same pay because you like the local chicken place, but I doubt most of your neighbors would make the same choice as you when given the opportunity to reduce cost without reducing income. And when those people leave, all those perks of city life go with them.
It would still be dismissed as starkly inefficient, because the problem isn't technology, rather mentalities.

Midori powered Asian Bing as proof of its capabilities, and yet Windows team was dismissal of its capabilities and instead went on reinventing .NET with COM, aka .NET Native and C++/CX alongside WinRT. A kind of ironic given that it was .NET original design (codename Ext-VOS), before they decided to reboot COM with a managed runtime, alongside the J++ issues that caused COOL to become C# instead.

Quite interesting feedback from Joe Duffy how everything went down,

Ironically, despite still having the Linux kernel underneath and enough C++, Android and ChromeOS are probably the mainstream OSes that are closer to the overall idea, at least in what concerns userspace applications.

As on the Microsoft side, WinDev seems to always sabotage those ideas, as you can infer from Joe Duffy talks, and from Apple side although Swift is supposed to play a major role going forward, C, C++ and Objective-C still represent the majority of the stack.

SIMDe implements the exact semantics of a given ISA using either the native intrinsics, or other platform's intrinsics when possible, otherwise autovectorization. This is great when you've already written code using e.g. NEON intrinsics and want it to run on x86 (similar to neon2sse), or the reverse. It's an impressive undertaking to implement thousands of instructions for each platform :)

Highway instead aims for a path that each platform can implement efficiently. For example, ReorderWidenMulAccumulate bridges differences between NEON and x86 which user code need not care about if they just want a dot product, and CountTrue is efficient on both platforms without requiring NEON to go to the extra trouble of matching the exact x86 movmskb semantics.
Also, Highway uses only intrinsics and does not rely on autovectorization (+), which makes for more predictable performance.

+ except in the EMU128 target, which is only used if SIMD/intrinsics are disabled

If you're looking for specific hardware documentation it doesn't really exist per se but the xnu kernel is open source, so if you want to look a lot of the basic architecture is out there I'm pretty sure.

That said, afaik asahi is avoiding looking at the xnu source and is mostly using their own m1n1 bootloader/hypervisor to run macos under and monitor hardware interaction and deriving their drivers from that.

(m1n1 is honestly some incredible work and I actually used it to get a non-Linux, non-macos os to boot to serial console a few weeks ago, it was fun)
I think 100% of the DNS outages in the past few months have been caused by DNSSEC. For little gain that DNSSEC provides.

District-based elections, where each district had one winner, tend to lead to two-party systems. The counting mechanism doesn't meaningfully impact this. If you want to change this, you can expand current districts to cover multiple seats. That way, second-placed, third-placed, and so on, candidates also get seats. Depending on the #seats of the district. Parties could run multiple candidates, since there are multiple seats.

For the US, districts with e.g. 5 seats would be very interesting. The effect would be two-fold: first, more distinctiveness between candidates of the same party. Extreme example: a prolife Democrat, a gun-regulation Republican running alongside more traditional candidates. Secondly, at least some candidates outside the 2 major parties will get a seat. This probably means no more majority in House/Senate, but a need to form a coalition. That means talking with each other and reaching agreement would no longer be the newsworthy exception it is today, but would be part of the very fabric of the House/Senate.

I don't see how a different counting mechanism could lead to the same effects.

> Are factories now built downtown or am I missing something?

Plenty of other roles that can't be performed remotely, e.g. plumbers, hairdressers/beauticians, dentists, shoe/clothing store workers, therapists, teachers (technically possible, just not desirable in the last two cases).

But that's not even the limiting factor for public transport: the landscape of extracurricular activities for children shifted.

Parents of children too young to cross the whole city on their own have a total of 3-4 locations to visit daily. Doing that via public transport quickly becomes tedious.
I'm not good at nautics, but in my understanding currents slowly stop and later turn around. Most tide charts are more or less a sine wave, with different highs and lows.

So it's interesting how this 100kw was produced.

The article only says: "The business was able to generate roughly 100 kilowatts of steady electricity during demonstrations earlier this year."

So is this over a few days or just a few hours while peak flow? While currents change, their change is highly forseeable - unlike wind.
To boost South Korea’s basic science, look to values, not just budgets
The original is flagged now, but if we read it differently it makes sense we are coming away with different interpretations. In my opinion the person doesn’t seem particularly well informed about basic facts - getting the names of places and regions wrong - and their main argument seems to be that the US has done bad things, so there’s no point inconveniencing ourselves to try to stop Russia and I’m not really sure that follows. I didn’t (personally) find a lot of nuance in the discussion. I do agree that in general nuance and understanding are missing a lot of the times these days.

Amazon is my usual go-to market. The counterfeit problem, however, is why, when I needed replacement heads for my electric toothbrush, I considered buying a third-party alternative as opposed to the toothbrush maker's own. I figured that there probably wouldn't be counterfeits for the third-party brushes, but I might very well receive fake first-party heads.

(I ended up buying first-party heads, but not from Amazon.)

In Shanghai you have the privilege queuing an hour or so just to be allowed outside these days :)

But seriously, it's understandable that someone wouldn't want to wait for 20 minutes when the alternative is simply dropping off a parcel somewhere. Sure, there's always places that are worse but 20 minutes is relatively long, there's clearly room for improvement.

I'm done with Amazon for the reasons others have mentioned and will gladly wait 20 minutes just so to not give them a single cent of my business. But not everyone hates them as much, some folks might not care much either way and just go with what's most convenient. Maybe they don't notice getting low quality trash from some Shenzhen-based seller either. The same way many people eat junk food because it's convenient. If competitors can match Amazon in that regard, I think even more people will turn their backs on them. Because what Amazon does well is automation and logistics, not quality.
RNA forms on basalt lava glass in the presence of nucleoside triphosphates
Yeah I like the idea of if it’s no longer receiving firmware updates but I suspect the tech companies would get around that by releasing symbolic updates that just bump the version number.

I would prefer something like after 5 years they have to unlock the bootloader and allow people to install anything. So you have 5 years to make a profit and then you have to open up the device.

Why would GitHub let a random person notify 400k people? Maybe I'm not fully understanding this. I've never really looked into limits around @'ing people. Could I just open a random PR and @EpicGames/developers to notify 400k people just to annoy them? Why doesn't this happen non-stop?

Currently, yes. But that's just for development purposes. Nobody is expected to run m1n1 itself. One of the reasons for this development is to create a Linux driver doing the same.
My guess at what in the early days of personal computing, i.e., ~1985, really caused the rapid growth: Replacing the typewriters.

The labor of using typewriters was enormous. So, replacing a typewriter with just a PC, maybe with only a floppy disk for file storage, and just an early, crude dot matrix printer saved a lot of money.

Next, electronic spreadsheets saved a lot of money.

Next, with just dial-up connections, we got email which in many cases was a big improvement, speed, cost on what the USPS, FedEx, etc. provided.

...

Now for shoppers, on-line shopping can often yield better shopping results with huge savings in time and effort and also often money.

Apparently now some investors are looking at the Internet and remote work as a way for workers and families to get huge savings on costs of housing and transportation.

Then, nearly everything in the usual parts and pieces of the economy is open to huge cost savings via automation based on computing and the Internet, in simple terms, having some robot do the work instead of a human. E.g., it's spring and time to plow the field and put in a crop of corn. So, click on an icon, and the tractor fires itself up, plows the field, and then puts in the seed. And the tractor was made nearly entirely by robots, maybe including some 3D printing.

Then in the supply chain, the corn goes to feed hogs, chickens, and to fatten up cattle, and the work there also gets heavily automated. Sure, cornmeal can also be used for tasty breading for fried fish and chicken!

Uh, maybe surprisingly soon and quite broadly we don't really need more farm workers but fewer and, then, more developers of the automation ...!

Developing all the needed automation is not so easy now, in particular, while can save big on Opex can have a big initial Capex. So, we need better tools for developing the automation -- robots, artificial intelligence, whatever call it.

Hmm .... With the automation, will (finally) have good numerical data on nearly all parts of the supply chain from a mine, farm, forest, etc. all the way to the dinner table, etc. Then we will notice that with the good, new numerical data, can get some cost savings by the now old subject optimization, mathematical programming, from linear programming, nonlinear programming, ... stochastic optimal control, etc.

And with all the good data on the supply chain, should be able to do some analysis and do well investing the commodities markets.

It used to be, "Machines should work. Humans should think." Maybe it will be "Machines do the work, and humans enjoy life", e.g., pursue family, art, science, understand the universe, etc.

Uh, for that future, we have a lot of software to write!

In a sense that is what unikernels/managed runtimes running on top of type 1 hypervisors represent, now if we ever get a consumer OS with that approach, it remains to be seen.

I don't expect to still see it during my lifetime.

Maybe when computing gets rebooted with quantum computing, if you check the languages being used for research (Q#, Qiskit, visual), none of them are classical C or C++ like.

Albert allows you to write plugins in python (im not sure if that can be disabled), but presumably that would add the python interpreter to the memory food print.
This. There’s no shortage of data-table projects but finding one that has some kind of accessibility cover and works with Angular has basically reduced our choice to ag-grid…
Awesome to see more devs getting into this.

I grew up on the country side and I always dreamed of having a small homestead, with some animals and living a quiet life. I've been living a nomadic life for about 8 years when I decided it was time, 3 years ago. I found an old farm (5000m2) I could rent temporarily until I found my own place near my home in The Netherlands. It got out of hand pretty quickly with 30+ chickens, ducks, gees, a couple of pigs and goats. I was really loving it.

Unfortunately I didn't expect the pandemic to turn into a crazy frenzy where everybody seemed to flock to places where nobody wanted to live before. Rest to say my plan to buy something near my hometown failed for now.

Currently I'm in Galicia (Spain) looking to buy an old 1 to 2 hectare farm. The climate is great here, it's lush and green everywhere and there are affordable farms to find.

> [the value] went away because the asset itself become less desirable and valuable to other people.

That view on "value" is inherently fickly. In case they never sold their buildings, you could also argue that no value had been lost. They still have the building after all. Their speculation has a different calculation behind it now, but that's normal - speculation RoI is not guaranteed.
It sounds like you have a similar process to me - you don’t actually “think” in or understand the imperial units - you have just memorised benchmark amounts and conversion metrics. That’s why you can’t get your head around fahrenheit - the conversion isn’t an easy one to mentally apply every time.
I don't see how it directly increases US influence over them? America is compelled to defend those NATO members, no matter how rag-tag or inadequate those NATO members' forces are. America doesn't have the option of saying "no", and they also cop all of the public backlash as these countries get to stir up anti-American sentiments and make life hard for American forces that are rotated through these countries for training.

I'm no hull designer, but I have worked on many ships with X-bow in the past decade and change, and anecdotally will claim that they feel much more comfortable in rough seas - say, North Atlantic, winter conditions - than conventional designs.

They provide for much gentler vessel movements. (Not gentler in the sense that those prone to seasickness will no longer be sick - but you will be able to get useful work done with an X-bow vessel in weather where you would be busy holding on for dear life in a conventional design.

Incidentally, the Ulstein design workshop is located within walking distance of me as I write this.
Yes, that is the point explicitly made in the video.
Does it actually matter? Like even if the PR is bad / the request to merge was demanding, I don’t think that justifies the response, which I guess was roughly the expected response to a the PR times 400k (plus network effects). I’m not convinced that the people responding can use the same excuse for their immaturity but maybe they should not be expected to be mature given the trivial requirements for becoming members of that org.
That Ukraine doesn’t actually exist is what you hear on Russian TV, but is it actually true? I don’t think it’s quite that simple.
I've talked to builders. They don't want to try anything new that:

2. would result in them getting sued because they did something different

Doug Engelbart in the 1960s would’ve expected that we, in 2022, would have computers that will just immediately present us with the exact answer that we are looking for. That will do all of the searching and filtering and refining for us. That will ask us to clarify our question if it is ambiguous. And that will immediately tell us if the question we have asked is one to which humanity has yet to find an answer. The computer would help us be more efficient with our tiny brains. To allow us to focus on processing what is worth processing. And that we can focus our explorations on the areas that haven’t been explored.
