most of the dividends are in the native token (or the blockchain token) which, unless the price remains stable or up, constantly reduces in value

A great example is OpenSea. Their trading volume crashed at the same time ETH prices crashed. A sale of 100 ETH in January earned them $7,500 (@$3k ETH).

The same sale now will earn them $3,000 (@$1.2k ETH).

> The batteries themselves typically last >5years in a car

In a home you will be using up a good chunk of the capacity every night. Lead acid batteries don't last many cycles[1], and I suspect you would be replacing them every 18 months if you powered your house off them.

Boats often have a solar+lead acid setup, and the owners of such systems typically have to make lifestyle changes to adapt around the limitations of the power system. Things like running only one appliance at a time, only starting the washing machine if the batteries are over 50%, never use any electric heaters, etc.

That's the cosmic horror part of all of this. We could end up creating robots that act completely like humans in every single way, except they lack our subjective feelings of existence, embodied emotion, etc. which is presumably bad.

Narh. We'll keep going until we don't. There's no silver bullet to solve all our problems. We have a few half-baked suggestions, but none is good enough. Getting everyone to agree on developing one into a state that will be good enough won't happen, so we'll have to make do with a dozen different solutions that is nowhere near enough on their own. With luck, we can control the damage sufficiently to prevent catastrophic failure and a repeat of the Bronze age collapse.

Giving up on recent developments sounds good in principle, but the fact is that energy usage in the middle classes is slowly going down. If we want an equal distribution of energy usage, then we'd need to go back to pre-WW2 levels in order to be sustainable. And that somehow assumes we retain our current ability to produce clean technology while reducing usage to a level that most people simply won't accept. The middle class wasted a _lot_ of energy in the 60's and early 70's.

I remain optimistic in hoping that multiple smaller solutions will be enough to prevent the proverbial shit from hitting the fan. Synth fuels is one such solution. As is EV's, insulating homes, or being better at keeping old infrastructure running for longer in order to avoid wasting resources on replacing said old infrastructure. Not because they solve the root cause of the problem, but because it's better than to keep going with fossil fuels, or to force changes without being at all prepared for the consequences. I'm not saying you're wrong. But I remain hopeful that you are.

I very much doubt that Firefox and most other internal software didn't do this until recent years though usually in a more ad-hoc manner, i.e. "oh look, that code does what I want ... but eh .. how can I add that as dependency, far too much work, let's copy it into our tree", which gives you all the downsides of the current state without any of the upsides.
Not sure why this is downvoted? Only for the "If you don't care"-part? I usually check if any preferences were stated or what pronoun a person uses when talking about themselves, but use "they/them" as generic fallback as well - and am now irritated if that's wrong and for what reason?

A little off-topic, but the "nice idiot" routine definitely works: Admit you are possibly in the wrong, but still would like whatever it is you need. Even if you don't immediately receive what you want, doing this a few times in a fixed location (like an apothecary) will quickly give you good rapport with all the folks that work there. After that point you can be certain folks will try to help you a bit more proactively than they otherwise might.

Mind to unpack that for me?

Here's how I unpack this: ""[1] is the 0 (termination) byte. The 0 byte is then interpreted as an address -- the nil address.

But what's the use of asking for the address of the null terminator? Where is that stored exactly?
A point of view I can imagine on these infractions is this: it is necessary that there be a clear line between what is legal and what is not, and that all the law be enforced. Failing either of those, officers have the opportunity to selectively enforce the law in a way that is biased, brings them profit, or intimidates people for reasons outside the law. For that reason, every infraction, no matter how minor, must be enforced, and if it's unfair, law will have to change to exclude those edge cases. Otherwise you have unjust chaos.

I'm not sure I agree with that, but I think it's not irrational.
I kind of predicted this in my SO post in 2019 [1]. They were falling behind for a while.

This is undefined behavior. According to the C++ standard, there is no way to reason about what this does. Anything can happen with this code.

Once you have undefined behavior, you lose the ability to reason about your entire program.

Thus, this program does not solve the problem.

It demonstrates a lack of knowledge about undefined behavior in C++.

Hopefully the powers that be also know that, hence Biden's planned visit to Saudi Arabia [1], plus the NATO secretary general saying this weekend that "peace is possible" in Ukraine, certainly a different mindset than the one present among most of the Western leaders about two months ago (when going all in in order to get Putin down was presented as a plausible solution).

I don't have the time or energy to search for everyone's favorite pronoun before talking about them. If it's someone I personally know or talk to on a regular basis, then I will certainly use their preferred pronoun out of habit.

It's a decision tree. Decision trees falls under ML. The thresholds are learned from data.

I would imagine they had to use a decision tree in order to tell users and case workers _why_ they are at risk.

The algorithm has been heavily criticized for putting basically all non-western immigrants into the "high risc"-group, but if the job market historically hasn't been willing to hire high performing, non-western immigrants, isn't it the whole point of building an algorithm from data?

I used to be a skeptic until I got it. I was one of the unfortunate 20% who struggled for almost 14 months before feeling back 100%.

I had every symptom you can think about. Heart palpitations, gastrointestinal issues, chest tightness, chronic fatigue, muscle soreness, and much more. I’m an active 30 year old who loves to exercise. I even saw a sudden drop in my running performance too. (About 20% or 2 minutes)

I saw a number of medical professionals only to be told nothing was wrong with me each time. I couldn’t find an answer, so I had to go find one myself. It seemed that no medical professional wanted to touch the “C” word even though hospital policy tells you to speak up about it. Which I did each time.

Perhaps one day we will know much more about long Covid and why it happens, whether that’s virus still hiding in the body or the complete shock it has on the nervous system.

The good news of this all is that my second time going through a milder version of Covid had me recovering after about a week instead of on and off again symptoms for more than a year. I found many good habits through a year of struggling that I’m thankful for.

When I first got covid, it felt like a punitive mark such as a scarlet letter. I was so ashamed. That also didn’t help.

Perhaps it was all a combination of getting a virus, the stress that had at the time, and the pressure to keep living life as normal when I’m operating at 80% for a year.
Null pointer exceptions by far the most frequent exception I encounter. Not only on the development side, but also as a user.

Optional is convention based and @NonNull just throws the runtime exception at a better location, so in my experience neither come remotely close to providing null safety.

"" is empty, so ""[0] is the nil byte.

The code uses "" as an arbitrary address, and ""[1] as that address + 1.

This way this-"" gets you 1-based index into the array.

It assumes the compiler dedfuplicates strings, making the behavior of this program undefined.
Let's assume we go from 30% (low end of small engine efficiency according to first link) to 55% (high end for a Diesel engine according to the second article), so a little short of twice as efficient. What do you think is going to be the overhead of the conversion rate to electricity, electricity transportation ? Because if it is another 50% you lost all interest (but you built a plant and a float of cars and batteries in the meantime).

> Not to mention that a very large percentage of electricity for charging of vehicles is not going to come from fossil fuels in the first place, especially whenever charging can be planned (which is most of the time in Europe).

That's not what my parent and I are talking about. But I second that. Except I live in France and we are starting to have electricity cuts because we can't maintain our nuclear plants properly. So we are in a little bit more trouble than you might think.

Similar issue is often misattributed in other places like game engines aswell.

Indeed. Sell now, buy later, profits always.
Hence, evilest. (It got me.)
Gasoline engines in road-legal cars have about 20-35% thermal efficiency. Just making the engine bigger and not caring about engine weight (like in ships or power plants) allows you to bring efficiency up to about 55%. Electric motors (as used in electric cars) are about 90% efficient.

Of course you lose some charging and discharging the battery, in the charger itself and in transmission losses. But just eyeballing it it seems like the power plant should come out ahead as long as it isn't too far away.

They are missing critical statements like "The emulation allows booting x64 Linux and gets XXXX score on [industry benchmark]".

They have no documentation on their native ISA, nor any indication of any software or even compilers ported to it.

I would guess the 4 year delay is them struggling to get the software side working with any reasonable performance. It isn't too hard to make a toy processor with a high clock rate in a simulator... But getting it to run linux and win benchmarks is much harder.

This is basically correct, and has been pointed out several times.

Tricky question to answer, particularly without picking specific examples and getting too political.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is there is pretty overwhelming evidence that the voting public doesn't understand cause and effect of the policies they are calling for. Eg, spending 20 minutes debating politics with anyone makes it apparent that at least one and often all sides of a debate are people who don't really understand the particulars of the situation, in most cases haven't read the policies involved or done much research beyond listening to some with charisma and maybe some credentials. They don't change their minds.

Then the actual politicians build up their rhetoric and positions, and they have to mirror what the voters are thinking to get votes. But the voters are often demanding incoherent or stupid policies that aren't at all aligned with expert advice. My personal favourite showcase is a combination like loose border control combined with a strong welfare state - no fair & feasible way to do both. The situation ends up with politicians who have to say things that clearly they don't believe in service of goals they cannot pursue, in order to hold office.

If they were serious about what they are communicating, we'd expect them to check the evidence & maybe run a couple of trials to see how feasible the whole plan is. And if they did they would change their mind quite quickly, because there is actually quite a lot of evidence out there about what works. But they won't, because they aren't serious & that they are actually doing is mimicking the opinions of the large, oft-changing and schizophrenic opinion of a mass of voters. And the voters really don't care because big groups of people are not at all altruistic outside their in-group.
