How's the "long-term glucose surplus" control group doing?

(Kind of kidding, but it's not obvious why the "less exogenous glucose" condition would be a priori the risky one!)

When you’re setting energy policy (or any policy really), you’re setting it for “normal” conditions. Which is to say, you can only design for what you know and what you can predict.

While all of these things could happen, we only have a narrow view of what the future looks like. So we plan for what we know and we try to address what we can.

If we see volcanos darken the sky or sustained, dangerous winds, then we’re dealing with different conditions and different policies apply.

I also partook in this, except with lots of "goblins". I forced them to live in a house locked away from the outside world with plenty of canvasses in the house, and plenty of things to do that weren't painting (indoor pool).

The specialty rule is that there weren't enough beds, so I tried to get them all into relationships so they would share beds with minimal interaction. If they didn't, then some would pass out on the floor.

They all lived a life of luxury with how much money they printed.

Your argument does not follow at all. I have the impression that you don't know what baseload is. Baseload is the minimum amount of demand over a given time (it is not a measure of supply at all).

The previous poster talked about using fossil (or any other means) to supply the mismatch between the supply and demand at the times where such a mismatch might exist. This is completely unrelated to baseload, it could in fact be larger than baseload. Note that such a mismatch would also exist for nuclear (dependent on overprovisioning). However it would in general be only needed of short periods of time.

Can you give a link to this? Cloudflare (Workers) and Deno (Deploy) both uses v8 isolates for their runtimes, with I believe some significant clients running production code (huge clients like Vercel and Supabase use these solutions)

Edit:

> If you execute untrusted JavaScript and WebAssembly code in a separate process from any sensitive data, the potential impact of SSCA is greatly reduced. Through process isolation, SSCA attacks are only able to observe data that is sandboxed inside the same process along with the executing code, and not data from other processes.

I do run isolates in separate processes to prevent security issues, even if that may not be enough. Still an early prototype for now.
To be fair to Clouldflare, they do a lot of very thoughtful work on sandboxing at all levels, including at the process level as well as above and below that. A lot of interesting details here:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/mitigating-spectre-and-other-sec...

The article focuses on Spectre, but it also mentions general stuff.

edit: It is true they are using V8 for a novel purpose, but a lot of their techniques mirror how Chrome sandboxes V8 (process sandboxing, an outer OS sandbox, etc.).
How much ammo can a drone carry? Even if its an African ... drone or a European one, it's a simple question of weight ratios.
I had the same thought. Upon reading, this sounds like it goes deeper on the semiconductor physics and fabrication parts. Relevant bit:

"Courses will address supply chain issues in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering for tool development, thermal management, packaging, and material engineering as well as industrial engineering, logistics, and manufacturing optimization."
Hawaii has abundant sun and wind, and deep ocean hard by for cheap storage.

When costs are all capex, the more you use, the less it costs. (And, as with nukes, the less you use, the more it costs.)
This is still an opportunity cost scenario. Would your friend get called back for job interviews if he had just spent that time in industry and had ~3yr experience on their resume (My experience is yes).
In Sweden we got 0.75% since a week back on the closest thing to a state bank (SBAB) since the Riksgalden was closed a few years back.
V8, at its core, is single-threaded. I think that's the reason for separate processes for each isolate.
It's SQL inspired language, because SQL is far and away more well known, and understandable, than functional programming.

And that is one reason why LINQ is still one of the only functional collections APIs that exposes GroupBy, which is an extremely useful operation.

Edit: correction, LINQ is no longer the only one that introduced GroupBy, but it was probably the first.
> Netflix is continually heading this direction

It's not really their choice. Most of the content owners have their own competing service now, so Netflix need content. Small amounts of good quality content won't keep people subscribed for long, so they need quantity and quality.
You can even give hundreds or thousands of dollars to people as gifts without reporting requirements.

The requirements kick in when people are trying to avoid paying social security tax, basically, or paying for work under the table.
What makes crypto special is that you can easily replace corrupt middlemen yourself where you absolutely cannot with traditional banks.
I've been hoping a runtime would arise for this use case explicitly, and v8 is close. But the solution has to have multitenancy, limiting of memory and cpu, and security baked in from the beginning. The lua runtime seems promising, but again, not designed for that.
Maybe it was chocolate milk.
They don't run every node API.

I was trying to install posthog serverside the other day with remix which was to be hosted on workers but received several errors about buffers not being available.

This all said, isolates have been really cool to work with. Being able to run lightweight code at the edge has opened a unique set of opportunities like dynamically routing things quickly even for static sites.
Where is all this new demand for gasoline coming from?

> Outside of those influences, in hindsight, the high school years would have been the perfect time to have children

Umm what? Am I offbase in assuming you dont have kids? Its absolutely not a great idea to have children in high school. And I have 2 sisters who did. Without getting into too many details, I think it would have been more stable and much, _much_ easier if they didn't have children that young. Not only are you losing out on so much as a parent, but you are not even equipped to deal with the harshness of life for yourself let alone a completely helpless other person. Whats your plan as a 16/17 year old for your kid having a 105 temperature and having to go to the ER unannounced? Whats your plan to pay for daycare? Are you moving in with your partner at this point or do you play a weird game of parents being "separated" and shuttling between the houses? Do you even own a car?

They never embedded GA in the Firefox extension, just on Chrome and explained it by their assumption that chrome users probably aren't as opposed to Google tracking as those using Firefox.

Probably the only reason I remember it is because it felt like such a peculiar justification.

The other extension got some pretty shady backers on HN in the past as well. [1] I think that this kind of extension just attracts drama more than others.

With postdoc salaries the issue is that they are set by the governing bodies. I don't have my contract on hand ( I'm a research associate, but it's similar for postdocs), but it's set as some multiplier of minimum monthly wage.

The maintenance funds part is where it gets even worse actually! As an example when you write a grant proposal, they are usually for 2-3 years. You may want to buy some piece of equipment with those funds, and that's fine. However you can't earmark some if that money for future maintenance of that equipment after the grant period ends. Then, when you apply for the next grant, on most occasions, you can't ask money for maintenance of old equipment. And once it breaks, there's enormous hurdles to overcome to get money for repairs.

Here's another perspective from a physicist in one of the less popular sub-fields (IE not quantum computing, high energy, etc.).

I am currently coming to the end of my PhD and want to end up in industry later. However, I am going to do a postdoc for at least a year for a few reasons.

Firstly, it is with a scientist that I work well with and is doing work that I believe in. They are a great boss and I take time off when I need it and without guilt. Second, the location is right and in an area I want to live in and eventually find jobs in. Lastly, the postdoc pays like $80k with benefits; less than I could make in ad-tech, etc. However, it is a decent amount to live well in the location. I'm also doing work on problems I choose and without a need to justify them. It's amazing to me that I can earn money doing this type of work at all.

Plus the postdoc is meant to be a job-hunting exercise. I basically am getting paid a salary to do interesting work and shop around for a job and live in the area I want a job in. It's a win-win. Even my most anti-academia friends in my PhD program are considering doing this for similar reasons.

I guess I am posting this because going through PhD I only ever heard complaints come through about the system (a lot of them valid IMHO). However, now that I'm making the decision it seems like I have a lot of great opportunities. Not that my field doesn't have its problems, but I wonder if the severe ones are concentrated elsewhere. I suppose there's hope out there if you're in the right field.
It's as if you think Li-ion batteries are the only kind that can exist.

This is a generic problem with anti-renewable arguments: they argue against specific technologies rather than the entire class of possible technologies.

Just because you can use context doesn’t less annoying.
If the event is only in TX then won't their pricing on electricity jump faster than the increased benefit of mining when most of TX mining shuts down? I mean there are real countries with stable electricity that won't sky rocket so the drop in hash rate can't cancel a price gouging only in Texas.
I don't quite get the argument. Isn't this similar to e.g requiring the `z` parameter to be annotated with something that ensures that it is a small number? ("What is the downside of having special syntax for that?")

My undrstanding is that a tail call is a tail call, and the variant with +1 is not that, thus being a candidate to be looked at.

Perhaps also IDEs can help here if it's difficult to spot?

I love v8 isolates so far-- I'm building chat tooling with it

When added to the "edge", it means they're (insanely) fast, obliterate cold-start problem (which is killer in chat where you might have not have retry), and as long as what you write can execute between 10-50ms (with ~30s for follow-on queries) it sometimes feels like cheating

The same way Cloudflare "pushes" configuration to their network, they use a similar mechanism to push code to their edge nodes.

They have killer dev tooling too-- https://github.com/cloudflare/wrangler2

You *DON'T* need to think about regions ever-- just deploy to a lot of small regions instantly & it usually "just works" and is fast everywhere.

For extra credit, you also get access to rough-grained location information from each "node" in their network that your users connect to (globally you can get access to rough-grained local timezone, country, city, zipcode, etc): https://blog.cloudflare.com/location-based-personalization-u...

## Downsides encountered so far

- Not 1-1 replacement, think of your code like a highly-performant service worker (usual suspects: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Wor...)

- Many libraries (like Axios for instance) won't work since they call out to Nodejs (this might be a good thing, there are so many web APIs available I was able to write a zero-dependency lib pretty easily) They're adding bespoke support for packages: https://blog.cloudflare.com/node-js-support-cloudflare-worke...

- There's only a tiny of bit of customization for Workers required, however, there's a bit of platform risk

Despite the Peter Jackson movies, The Hobbit was actually written as a childrens' story rather than a grand epic.

I think every half way capable military on the planet is seeing the news and videos coming out of Ukraine and thinking, hmm, must invest in anti-drone technology.

A decade from now what's happening in Ukraine won't work against most major military powers. The drones we're seeing are very slow and very low but modern anti-aircraft systems aren't optimised to detect things this small and low so are getting away mostly untouched, but there's no significant technological hurdle against modifying existing systems or developing new ones that work against this type of threat.
How Facebook Is Bringing QUIC to Billions
I have a lot of respect for Kenton, but the facts are: v8 security team recommends running untrusted code in separate processes [1], and as described in your link, Cloudflare doesn't do that. From what Kenton said earlier on this[2], it sounded like they had already committed to their architecture before that v8 recommendation was made. They thought through a lot of possible attacks and created some clever mitigations, and ultimately decided "its probably ok".

eta: Also, Chrome does use process isolation - every browser tab runs in a separate process. The whole point of Cloudflare isolates is to avoid the overhead of a fork() for each worker request.

> … just because something is open source does not necessarily mean that it will stay alive in the way you describe it - especially redesign or new features.

True, being open source doesn't guarantee that the app will be maintained. It does, however, provide the legal framework to make it possible. If the app has an active user base then it's likely that someone would step up to take over the development, and the open source nature of the project means that the new maintainers are not starting at a significant disadvantage.

> My point was mainly in the context of Electron desktop apps, an abandoned, proprietary Electron app would probably run for at least 5 years * without touching it after it's abandoned. Further from that point patching it so it works would not be that hard.

Okay, so you're assuming an app distributed mostly in source form to begin with. That's fair, but an Electron app can be minified or obfuscated (and in the case of a proprietary app, probably would be) so it wouldn't necessarily be easier to work with than a compiled binary. You also still have the copyright issues which would make it difficult to collaborate on any patches.
Right, that was my point. The RNG is completely computable, by either a bot or a human player, even without directly observing the hidden state, if you could do enough actions and observe the results to deduce the hidden state of the RNG seed from that.

There's an argument that would call this cheating, but I don't think so. There's plenty of hidden state in Nethack (unidentified items, anything out of your field of view at the moment) and playing the game is largely an exercise in deducing that. The so-called RNG is no different, it's just another piece of hidden state, as far as the program is concerned.
