Agreed. My friend said to me, "do you believe in cryptocurrency?" I thought to myself no, and sold it. I can see now my motivation was greed and fomo. Neither of which are values I live my life by.
Yeah, given that at least some battery packs are already liquid cooled, 7.2kW doesn't seem too bad.
Bezos's share is not deserved due to the profits of the company. It's deserved because of how much better his company is, compared to others doing the same thing. There are millions of ecommerce sites. Tens of thousands of hosting companies. And he wasn't the first in either domain, but now he's the best or close to it. That's his contribution as an owner, as opposed to a worker.

And the comparison with plantation slaves is hilarious. There are even now jobs and activities that are literally harsher than slave work. People do a lot of them for fun and hobby. The difference is choice.

And a small thing, which is just a bit grating to me: plantations weren't that efficient, actually. It was a social self-perpetuating system that kept them going. Using employees and later machines was more effective for pretty much the whole human history.
The main idea of the article is tone of the national conversation is biased by people who are frustrated:

> These are also the people who drive the national conversation on twitter. Academics, journalists, policy hands, and lawyers.[2] The people who form the narratives that we understand our country have been frustrated by fate. They live uncertain, precarious lives; even the most successful and secure are surrounded by defeated legions. Each old college friend is a reminder of what they could have been or might soon be. They are more likely to be stressed by circumstance. Do you think that stress does not carry over into their perceptions of the country writ large?

At least for me my social media activity ramps up a bit when not so happy.
Celsius plummets as crypto Winter is marching in. Tomorrow in Web3 you can expect strong headwinds, with a low of -99 Celsius. Watch out for those cold showers as liquidation cascades mount and a damp, chilly mood will be in charge. But it’s not all doom and gloom - while we may test record lows, the long term outlook remains sunny for 2023 and beyond.
Storium: The online creative writing game
I was expecting a more objective evaluation of fact-checkers (ie, how often do they actually get things right or not). The reader is treated to a couple of anecdotes about egregious mistakes, and the implied conclusion is that no one is interested in improving fact-checking because it is merely a political tool. Yet the author dismisses the one objective study he cites about bias in fact-checking (from 2011 (!), which found the vast majority of statements classified as false by Politico were by Republicans [1]) because, well, who knows whether they were actually false or whether Politico is just biased.

It is not impossible to have objective fact-checking, and it would be very beneficial to start having that discussion right now. No one is perfect and it is difficult to handle your personal biases, but I could live without this attitude of "the other side also does it, therefore it's all 'political', so it's a wash".

It's the overal effort that goes into the design, combined with a different design goal. Airliners are specifically optimised for low drag because it saves fuel. A Cessna 172 is a design from the 1960s that wasn't much optimised after that, and the design goal was stability and benign flying not the lowest possible drag. Later similarly sized small aircraft like the DA40 and SR20 are better at low drag because they're computer designed and fuel cost became more of a thing in modern times.

For airliners the retractable gear saves tons of drag, but they also have things like winglets, and lots of smaller things like optimisation on the wing-root (airliners have smooth transitions here, trainers are sort of just square) that all reduce drag.

An airliner is also much less friendly to handle in a stall condition, while a trainer almost recovers on it's own. And similar for yaw stability, if you get the rudder a bit wrong in a trainer nothing much happens, while an airliner will typically start to oscillate. Both of these are solved on the airliner by electronics, a stick shaker or pusher to avoid the stall and a yaw damper to enhance stability. The Cessna 172 doesn't have any electronics involved in flying, only for navigation and those are optional.
@never_released is exactly where I ended up, but I was hoping there was more information available. Sadly, it looks like researchers on Twitter and `man cryptex` are the only sources of information floating around for this stuff.
The difference is that Crypto is The Future.

Horse betting has been established to be just that: Betting (I have no clue if that's really true, no offense to the hn horse racing crowd). There is no big institution money that says otherwise. There are no startup wizards working in the field. Nobody claims they are going to change the world.

Crypto on the other hand is sold as the future, and the people who miss out on the future are losers. The tech is really complicated, you don't understand what's going on, but, clearly, some very smart people do and they are convinced.

The point being, it's a lot easier to disregard horses than it is to disregard the future.

Looks pretty cool. Thanks!
So many complaints about how their "social life" is destroyed and cultural freedoms lost for the sake of "financial interests", but then those same "freedom loving", "spontaneous" grads go later and create startups that do exactly that with other people's life, turning everything we value and cherish into one or another form of homologized business, standardizing our interactions and destroying community in city life.

You don't have the "spontaneity" of going to a shop anymore, everything is delivery. You don't share public transport anymore (and what is that if not enjoying living in "community" with other people?), you take an uber (and when it's finally robotized, you won't even talk with a driver anymore). You don't ask for directions or recommendations, you just look at maps or yelp or whatever. Social life is being destroyed by exactly that same people, and I find those complaints quite cynical.
> A very good article

It’s really not. spupe’s criticisms are spot-on.

And with lines like the following, who could expect a real critique?

“Fact-checking, far from the scientific pursuit of truth, has become a Trojan horse by which liberal elites can serve us all propaganda by disguising it as education.”

I mean come on. I don’t think it’s intended to be taken seriously.

> highlighting the bias and blindspots in these so-called 'fact-checkers' that have knowingly distorted and suppressed parts of the truth and slanting the opposing side with their own lies

Where is that in the article?

> the article precisely gives the answer to the question on 'who checks the fact checkers?'; it is each of us and it is up to us to call out the bias or blindspots with multiple counter-evidence.

Go for it! I’d definitely be interested to read the counter-evidence. And I think so would everyone else who keeps hearing that fact-checking is, in actuality, a Trojan horse by which liberal elites can serve us all propaganda by disguising it as education.
Note that the ABI issue with trivial types is not a language issue but a gcc/clang backward compatibility issues with their own ABI. A bit of forward thinking could have prevented the issue (like annotating the type when it was first introduced).

My inability to understand these financial instruments without hours of study is why I never put money into anything other than a couple of major currencies for funsies. Vanguard ETFs, mortgages, and bank accounts make sense. So I keep serious money in those.
That high rise restriction is the crux of your problem. Hopefully France realizes you must build up.

Reading your response, I feel that France has its own set of cultural baggage and norms it must sort through.

>That being said, Japanese versions likely factor in the delivery cost

Not by much though. To the point where it’s still practically free.
Hah! No way would that work in any industry-changing way. Maybe some journalists here and there make that work, but it's not a model that scales to many, and it would be unbalanced in a way that promotes the already promoted while leaving those just starting out to traditional freelancing of 200 (maybe) per-piece until they build enough reputation to get patreon followers. In other words -- the same system we have now.
Oh come on, this comes up every single time Seattle gets mentioned. Yes, some of the more "center" candidates won during the last election over "left" candidates but those same "center" candidates would also be considered "far left communist shills" by a large portion of the country at this point.

I'm probably in the "far left communist" camp in a lot of folks mind but it's important to be clear that this type of thing (when talking about the politics of a City, Region, or State) are extremely extremely relative.

Edit: I don't think we're disagreeing to be clear, I'm just tired of this whole "SEATTLE ISN'T PROGRESSIVE ANYMORE" rhetoric. Far right media groups use it as a rallying cry for their movements and I think it's important to recognize that despite things being slightly less progressive than they could be, doesn't mean the city as a whole is suddenly embracing nazi-ism or outright authoritarianism. We've got our issues but becoming a welcoming bastion of hate is not one of them.

Edit 2: Fuck Howard Schultz. His fragile ego and god complex are why we don't have an NBA team too. I view all of this union busting the same way I viewed him after that whole debacle, a megalomaniac who wants people to "believe" he's a savior when in reality he's just another rich dude who wants regular folk to worship him and throws a tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants.
All major c++ compilers have similar attributes but they are heavily discouraged by the compiler authors.

Clang also has a flatten attribute which can be interesting: it does the conjugate of marking functions inline: the function to which it is applied to will have all its own content inlined, e.g. [[clang::flatten]] void f() { a(); b(); }

will inline a and b

In your scripts you can use "/usr/bin/env cat" to get whichever version of cat is first in your PATH. NixOS abuses this to an almost silly level :)
Average yearly wind won't drop. But it may slower for a day or week. Unless you want to stop some parts of society for that time, you'll have issues.

Same for solar. It's not predicatable on day-by-day bases.

With using cars as battery banks, even if you skip the problem of having cars connected all the time, you'll need to redo grid in a big way. Both to fill simultaneously cars if cheap solar energy hits the grid and keep the grid going on a stale cloudy day.

Mental Illness Is Not in Your Head
My hourly is a lot less than $1,500, but I don’t think I’d take $1,500 to testify for an hour. First, I’d probably need to take off work for the whole day. I’d need to familiarize myself with the case, psych myself up for this crazy high-pressure situation, do the thing, then possibly be subject to public criticism for my role in it afterwards. It doesn’t sound worth it to me. I’m not sure what my price is, maybe $5k?

This is assuming my role is to defend some patent troll or something. If I really believed in the cause, I might do it for free.

Actually the technical interview is an interesting comparison. They’re also stressful and require preparation. But the monetary reward is orders of magnitude greater!
With regulations people will be loosing their money anyway, but with confidence, because they will have a sense of some legitimacy.

The only regulations crypto needs is how to call things. Just like whatever Tesla has should not be called Autopilot, crypto prophets should not be allowed to call it investment. Call it gambling and off you go.
Imagine you actually read, and understood, my entire post.
Because there is no specific argument to be made. That's the entire point of turings immitation game paper.

It does not matter if your conversation partner is made up of a giant turing machine, a huge set of prolog rules, a giant neural network with a single hidden layer, a really deep transformer, a convolutional kernel, or a bustling pile of ants drawing words into the sand.

When conversing with one another we have the implicit assumption that we are not the only conscious being in existence despite it being a completely subjective phenomena.
Everything else would be quite impolite.

Turing extends that (im)politeness to non-human phenomena.
So long as there is the appearance of intelligence and consciousness it is the polite thing to assume that there is actually consciousness.
Does MFA exists to force people to have/carry all the time smart phones or there's a way to use it without a phone? I mean in practice for repositories like npm or rubygems?
We didn’t all do that. What’s next for every one of my customers is running actual servers, like before 2014. No containers, no k8s.

Who knows what will come next. The industry’s ability to constantly reinvent the flat tire seems boundless. Something shiny and complicated that will spawn an industry of conferences, training, consultants, and grief, no doubt.
> I also think you're kind of muddying the waters with audio books and game AI. Audio books don't produce sentences, people do. Game AI is deterministic to a large degree.

> You may not believe LaMDA is sentient enough to warrant rights. And that's a fair position. But you are not the sole arbiter. You are a voice in the chorus. As is Blake. Blake has direct experience with LaMDA, including experience he has not shared with us. That experience makes him unsure of whether LaMDA is just a program or is sentient enough to be granted full personhood.

> I have absolutely no experience with LaMDA myself. And I definitely don't have experience to whatever version of LaMDA Blake has been working with. So I will honestly say I have absolutely no idea of how sentient LaMDA is, I can't even venture a guess. The only data points I have to go on are Blake's opinion and the opinions of the other people at Google who have interacted with LaMDA.

I was not muddying the waters with the example of audio books or game AI. From my point of view, someone claiming LaMDA is sentient is similar to someone claiming a StarCraft bot is sentient or some character in an audio book is. The technology is still simple enough that you can immediately tell this claim makes no sense, without having to investigate it further or experience it directly.

Put another way, if Blake told you that he's studied this long and hard and is no longer able to convince himself that a Quake bot is not sentient, would you think - well, better not shoot it until we can be sure? Or would you question Blake's judgement?
Under proof-of-stake, if I control some fraction of the network, perhaps statistically I’ll occasionally be able to profit from doing things the network designers didn’t think of. So I’d want to buy during a sell-off to maximize my profits.
It seems you are arguing for forbidding workers to self organize into unions. Or at least, forbidding it until the timing is right.
Following this reasoning, what are your thoughts about democracy? Should it be forbidden as well for workers to organize into political parties that demand more social policies?
> Modern charging stations already deliver up to 350kw

Peak under optimal conditions ? Seeing how most stations fail to deliver on max charging claims I'd be sceptical we can realistically go so high without "lab like" conditions - available in 2 places in the world at 2 times so they can claim the number.
So you basically don't invest in anything because that theory can be applied to any asset.

Because bribery and ”persuasion”, as you call it, is illegal and thus carries a lot of risk? Not to mention what a PR catastrophe were it to be uncovered. Not saying that it’s impossible, but the certainty you’re expressing this theory with doesn’t seem warranted.
I think what they are getting at is if you want to actually learn some deep fundamental knowledge on a topic, its still going to be best found in a book today over a youtube video or a medium post. I agree with this. There is a lot of noise on the internet, and all of it is optimized for short form consumption that leaves out a lot of detail. Relevant blog posts you struggle to find due to SEO spam can't compare to a couple hundred page encyclopediac handbook on a given topic. If you want to change your oil maybe you can get by with a youtube video, but if you want to one day cultivate actual expertise you better buy that haynes manual that covers every little system in your car in one place you can easily reference that isn't prone to link rot. You are right that its hard to get good books for certain communities, but the internet comes in handy here, and plenty of good books are available freely online through means of varying legitimacy. If you want to really get a handle on physics, maybe finding a PDF of a good textbook in addition to those youtube videos would go further.
"IDE as tool for everything" is what's prehistoric, at this point.
A quick way of determining this with Finnish is if it is 1) a nature word + 2) follows a simple phonetic structure where each syllable is CV or CVV (C = consonant V = vowel) then it might be from proto-Uralic and so not a result of language contact but a "really old" Finnish word and may be congnate with words in other Uralic languages e.g. Hungarian or one of several tiny languages Russia. Also e.g. puu (= tree), vuori (= mountain) is proto-Uralic. Other nature words like järvi (= lake) which don't follow the pattern might be proto-Finnic but have come from neighbours (for järvi it is apparently from baltic/proto-slavic).
I figured it was the quintessential version of the Bible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'm not religious so cut me some slack haha. Looking back, I should've used a version using modern English.

The problem or benefit of crypto land though is there are no bailouts so the insolvencies will be contagious.

If you start full and arrive nearly empty you need to charge about 900km. The EQV charges at 5-7km/min@110kW so you need to charge for two to three hours during your trip. So you'd need only slightly longer than in a fossil car if you take the recommended ten minute breaks every hour of driving. (Given the charger network is sufficiently dense, which it currently isn't I suppose). There are already cars that charge at higher rates than 110kW. Teslas for example charge around 300km range in fifteen minutes at a supercharger.

It's not clear to me that US/Western Universities continue to be worth the money, resources and mindshare that they occupy. Should we continue to bother? Is the world turning to Asia? Are we not better off sending our kids to Singapore's Universities (the instruction is in English), for example?
Again a private company (with ties to the politicians who OK'd it, no doubt) come suckling at the taxpayer teat with promises of super duper secure fast and cheap IT to revolutionise the healthcare provider's equipment and data storage.

No, the clearing price is determined by the exchanges.

The value is the net benefit (including future benefit) that it provides.

McDonalds creates value by providing convenient and consistent hamburgers, and entry-level jobs.

Bitcoin, I've been told, creates value by allowing easy transfer of funds. Thus the value of Bitcoin should be based on how Bitcoin transaction costs and externalities (lack of regulation is both a plus and a minus) stack up against other money transfer systems.
