Now tell us the story about the backflip and the fish
Can AI improve on evolution? Tree DNA and cells must be super complicated, but they're evolved things so they must be inefficient. Can we figure out how to do the same things they do, just faster? Bamboo can grow inches per day, can we make a petri dish that grows centimeters per day of carbon capture?
The police who are waiting outside for an hour?
Real segmentation would have solved the problem described in the article. Under virtual memory segments like on the 80386 (and mainframes before that), you can physically relocate a segment and while adjusting its descriptor so that the addressing doesn't change.

The problem was mainly caused by having no MMU, so moving around objects in order to save space required adjusting pointers. Today, a copying garbage collector will do the same thing; rewrite all the links among the moved objects. You'd have similar hacks on Apple Macintoshes, with their MC68K processors and flat space, like doubly indirected objeccts managed by "handles" and whatnot.
Did “right to bear arms” ever include larger weapons like cannons? I’ve kind of wondered why the second amendment doesn’t cover larger and more destructive things.
I know that in the iOS 14 beta Apple implemented MAC address randomization to help prevent organisations identifying you in places like retail stores where your MAC address could be obtained when left on.

For the average user and I'd say the absolutely majority of users, this is a better alternative than being able to set your own. Only hardcare security enthusiasts would have an appetite for setting their own MAC addresses and knowing what to do with it.
I'd prefer if I could use a single OS for most of my needs instead of having to context switch between platforms.

In particular, I hate that I need to have a Windows machine for gaming in addition to a Unix machine for everything else. If Linux were a substantial competitor on the desktop, more developers would feel compelled to port their games to Linux, and I wouldn't have to make that choice.
This seems a bit dismissive; the author is quite an adept programmer. Rather than assuming ignorance, is a more generous interpretation possible?

Are there any specific LP tools you've found beneficial? Personally, I don't know any, despite being familiar with Knuth's work.
I'm uniquely bothered by this problem as I visit many such dysfunctional sites.

I'm active in the (hobbyist) field of documenting species. There's thousands upon thousands of websites created by amateurs containing unique niche content. For example, somebody might have made it their lifelong hobby to document every species of bee in their territory.

It's a fragmented mess of incompetently produced websites, but I find it incredibly charming and in the spirit of the original web. Above all, it is their content that has lasting value.

The people behind it are good, generous. That's why it makes me so angry when their work is cast aside like this. Things not just technically breaking, in many cases simply disappearing altogether from search results.
I think the CLOUD Acts essentially make them proxies of the state.
This is easier said than done, but here goes:

1) exercise. 6 days a week (2 good cardio days, two stretchy (Pilates/yoga), and two sports/outside/weights)

2) eat healthily a) 90% plant no carb plant based (salads etc) 10% whatever you want. Extremely limited drugs (alcohol) (like once a month)

3) adequate sleep ( #1 and # 2 help a lot)

4) spend at least an hour a day outside (bike to work, have lunch in the park, go for a walk)

5) use your calendar to create time for yourself

6) challenge yourself to learn new things that do not come easy I’ll to you (for many of the people that are stem oriented here, that means dancing and watercolors)

7) put your phone away
I use ASDF and it's very good to manage versions, specially if you have multiple projects with different versions of go or node, for example.

You don't even need to manually switch, you can set a version per folder!

Of course, the thing about bash scripts is that they are super specialized to do one thing, that usually only really works for the creator's workflow.
Fed Chair: we now understand better how little we understand on inflation
I'm confused how "people arn't paying off their student loans" and "credentials are still inflating"

Like, I wouldn't say the Zimbabwe dollar is inflating, its instead inflated
I've been lucky so far not to have had any of that foisted on me by work, and in any side project where I call the shots, I would avoid it like the plague.
It would be simpler to write broad legislation to (a) tax all CO2 sources and then (b) give the tax revenue back to the people, similar to the child tax credit.

Call it the "American Carbon Dividend" or the "Advancing America Dividend".
In the 1970s there were massive tax deductions that don't exist today, so the actual tax incidence was much lower than what is implied by the marginal tax rates.

There was a major overhaul of the tax code in the 1980s that simultaneously eliminated many of the tax deductions and offset that loss of deductions with lower the marginal tax rates. The change was approximately revenue neutral but made the tax code simpler.
Because while the CPU gets more efficient, other parts go the other direction? Higher resolution screens, more sensors, radios with harder to implement requirements, and so on.
They’re not calling the veil model an optical illusion, they’re just saying that the loop like structures we think we see are deceptively limited side effects of some aspects of the veil structures. It’s the image that’s the illusion, because it misleads us about the reality.
Cynicism feels wise but sometimes it isn't.
Do you mean are the brackets themselves tax adjusted or the salaries? Because lets say there is a 300-500k bracket right now - that bracket (if it even existed in the 70s) would have been much, much higher.
It isn't a democracy. It is a republic. It is rule by the people via a very specific system, one that isn't about simple majority rule.
The interview process sucks, but anything that provides a veneer of objectivity makes it less likely you'll get sued. I'm guessing the current system is as much a brainchild of staff attorneys as it is one of staff engineers.
Kirsten Dunst was eventually nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 2022 Oscars.

Honestly I can't see how it will be. I think we will get incredible technologies that cut resource usage. But we have already done this several times now and every time we make something more efficient we just consume more. We have made car engines massively more efficient but the gains were entirely lost to bigger cars and driving longer distances.

There are billions of people living almost primitive lives just waiting to consume as much as we do driving everywhere and buying new iphones every year. We are about to make things cheaper and more efficient and give them access to this consumption.

Despite all of this advancement, resource usage and emissions has never once gone backwards or even slowed down its increase.
I was on the team of a large org doing a POC between the two. Merc did some stuff better, git did more. I am glad git won out overall. I think the only feature Merc had that I cared about was tracking folders as objects.
> You can also use TypeScript and await on the promise

I'm not sure what you mean here. The promises and async/await syntax come from JavaScript, not from TypeScript - TS is just the sugar on top that provides the typings.
Yeah as a naturalized citizen, I’ve picked a side and it’s the US. Whataboutism on this issue has very little effect on me.

Now if you bring up US political spectrums, whataboutism is highly effective.
Your neighbor has the right to BBQ, there’s a point where we need to live our lives and stop advocating for denial of comfort.
Well I mean that you'd have to tile your windows instead of having the I part of the IDE.
Yes the scales are hard to fathom. And we've been doing that for about 100 years. It's not pretty, but there's a trillion tons of excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We need to stop emitting as fast as possible and remove the rest. Every gallon of gasoline burned adds 20 pounds of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
I’d love to know the mechanism because I just don’t see that. And leave out the death wishes if you are capable.
Maybe related to Trumpet Winsock?

Good video, thanks.
I agree. Thankfully, enough others agree that there are AppImages and other single-file executables for all sorts of Linux software.
For a very long time (ive not checked recently) slack used more memory that my IDE on a multimillion line c++ project. I used to have to shut down slack to compile on a machine with 128GB ram.
No no, you see the way forward is to give guns to all the children. A good child with a gun can take out a bad child with a gun!

The systems are designed to enrich some tech companies who have relationships with schools, and let school administrators hire more staff and speak to parents about how they are doing something.
Why don’t they find a way to move these workflows to developing economies who are trying to increase their exposure to chip manufacturing (eg india)?
> Car emissions are really good on average. As technology progresses, it might be fathomable that 7,900 cars, or eventually 79,000 cars produce the same amount of emissions as today. This "metric" sounds impressive, but it's useless.

Thankfully that's why the article first gave the metric in tons of carbon, which has no such ambiguity.

> So why are we not just using the geothermal energy powering this thing to charge electric vehicles or power homes?

My understanding is that there is generally an over supply of renewable energy in Iceland. Historically it attracted location agnostic consumers like aluminum smelting and bitcoin mining as consumers of this energy, because there wasn't any other demand for the renewable energy in Iceland.
How do you destroy methane straight in the atmosphere?

My first domain “expired” in an unexpected way after 18 years. I got a .eu.org because I believed that eu.org would be more stable than a commercial provider. I used the same not-for-profit DNS provider until they were commercially acquired and the parent company shut down the old nameservers.

Now I’m locked out: eu.org does not respond to inquiries for switching nameservers, and my account predates the auth system. While my phone number is the same, auth reset does not work with phone.

It would have been fun to retain the same domain forever, but stuff breaks, people die, and things crumble.
As much as I hate doing it now the first few years I did my taxes I went all paper and it really helped give me a foundational understanding of it all. Especially when you make that one typo.
This is great. I would also love to see a graph of the federal tax over time from 1960 to today.
Ebook authors, Netflix screenwriters and Spotify artists are still able to obtain royalties for every download or view, so I wouldn't say it's a system of a bygone era just yet. Indie video games, for example, show a path (albeit one with a middleman) to how one might obtain royalties for a work that is "impossible" to count reproductions or uses for.
How familiar are you with the concept of 'cremation'?
I'd second this book -- it's unforgettable in its description of the unexploded bombs left over from war, in addition to land mines and the continuing effects of Agent Orange in Vietnam.
Right. It's the same with audience plants, unless there's also something specifically interesting about the way the audience plant operated. If the magician just picks a stooge from the audience, says "the number you're thinking of is 17," and the stooge says "wow, how did you read my mind?" that is not a remotely legitimate magic trick in my view. Likewise, if you're watching a guerrilla magic television special (e.g. David Blaine: Street Magic) and it turns out it's just a completely staged, fictional production using post-production visual effects, paid actors, etc., then in my view that's not remotely legitimate.
It's been around for quite some time now, so... ;P
Carbon capture feels a lot like having a public pool which has raw sewerage pumping in to it and the proposals all focus on installing more powerful filters which can clean up some of the sewerage rather than focusing on stopping the sewerage from dumping in to the pool which is a much cheaper and more realistic solution.
This doesn't make much sense. At the highest level, America imports more than it exports. I struggle to look at that and call it a one way street.

It's a simple case of reciprocity. If China wants to ban American social media networks then America should obviously respond in kind.
And the prize goes to entwife, I mistook the preliminary text display for the one we were supposed to edit.

Thank you.
Fair enough, I was referring to the fact that Microsoft buying PowerPoint didn't happen recently. But that wasn't clear from my comment.
Re: adapting to other gases, this is something I'm curious about as well. As someone mentioned here, removing one ton of carbon dioxide means cycling through many more times the amount of air. At what point does removing other pollutants at the same time become effective. Carbon dioxide is just the most prevalent and a good place to start.
FAANG was never about tech dominance (no Cisco, no Oracle, no Microsoft) but was about tech stocks experiencing a period of hyper growth at the time the acronym was coined. MS has been a mature, late stage dominant tech firm for decade.
> We need to remove something like 3.5 Tt of CO2

In order to what and at what rate? Break even? Each year?
“640K ought to be enough for anybody“
I dont think climate change is existencial threat. I'm fine with nuclear energy. Existencial threat are impotent goverments and greedy politics.
I don't personally know, and frankly, I don't think anyone actually knows.

What we have here is a "Carbon Rush" and everyone who gets in early will get rich but likely end up accomplishing nothing (or make things worse in unforeseeable ways).

Sorry to be so blunt, but the numbers and schemes that come out of these things are woefully unrealistic.

In addition, none of these schemes make any difference so long as developing nations (and some developed nations) continue to produce emissions at staggering rates. All the efforts here are wasted if, say China, builds even one new coal plant.

So, a best guess at a solution is to stop wasting time trying to extract and hide emissions, and instead work to further pursue technology that produces less emissions from the start. Manufacturing would be a great place to start, because even this DAC machine is going to produce a massive amount of emissions during production... all the way down to the trucks mining the raw materials for the forge.

But those are hard, difficult problems to solve... and aren't "sexy", which denies quick VC money and grants.
It's not at all related. I'm saying if you worked at Tesla primarily for the RSUs (because you believed in the company), you still may have done better working for a FAANG and taking your higher total comp and investing the difference in Tesla shares.
No, they really couldn't, it isn't the nineteenth century anymore. And no, there isn't a special provision allowing Texas to secede from the union, this is a popular myth[0]. And as much as Texas likes to believe in its fierce independence, the state is politically, culturally and economically enmeshed in the rest of the Union and without the resources, finances and status of the US (much less the USD,) Texas would be better off rejoining Mexico than trying to survive on its own[1].

Those plants already exist. They are called “forests”.
People are fairly rational when it comes to making good economic decisions. Many people have done the math and realized that the higher gas prices go the more an EV is worth. Also, EVs eliminate trips to the gas station and the total cost of ownerships tends to be lower.

Finally, all cars are expensive right now.
Most people voted for Brexit to stop immigrants "taking their jobs", and to try and piss off useless UK politicians. They might tell themselves after the fact it was for some other reason now they realise what they have done.

I've never heard anyone say they think their vote "matters more" because of Brexit. Aside from the fact it is patently untrue (we still use the least democratic and most divisive method, FPTP) the EU Parliament elections are actually more democratic by virtue using PR, which allowed UKIP to send a load of MEPs to Brussels.

More than a smaller party could ever get into Westminster even if they had a similar proportion of support due to our broken democracy.
ESG is a smokescreen corporations adopted in the wake of Occupy movement.

It’s meant to distract people from the countless amoral behaviors we see time after time.

A corporation tweets about Green energy, publishes a statement about diversity, posts some rainbow flags, and is all of sudden we’re supposed to absolve them of unethical/illegal behaviors.

In that sense, yes, it is a scam. And it has been effective.
The merge conflict resolver is really so fantastic, miles better than other visual merge tools I've used.
I really don't understand what the hate is with respect to Section 21. If you own property then you should be able to do whatever you want with it, whenever you want, provided you meet your obligations under any tenancy agreement.

As a tenant myself I have always accepted the possibility that my landlord could serve notice as my fixed term approaches its end. It literally says the landlord has the right to do so in the document I signed.
There seems to be more of these than most folks(incl. me) realized. High 100's of millions to a billion valuation for companies doing high 100s of thousands to single digit millions of revenue. This, fast, a few others I've heard of privately.
"Your guess is as good as mine."

Exactly right. If you look at Yahoo news, you'll find several articles from 'experts' daily that predict either imminent doom or a sudden rise in stock prices. On the same day.

The great John Bogle said "Nobody knows nothing", meaning that nobody can predict where the market is going in the short term. (Long term, it's an up-and-right trend.) Your guess is absolutely as good as anyone else's.
I always find this viewpoint perplexing. Isn’t continuing to do the things we want to do a good thing?

These things are not bad in and of themselves, they are bad because of their externalities.

If we can find a way to offset the negative effects of burning coal, that’s great; it means poor countries can spend more GDP on healthcare and education, and less on upgrading to clean power.
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah definitely a problem, we've been trying to build it mainly on the feedbacks we're getting from the open-source solution.
Not my area of expertise, can you please share reasoning as to why reflecting sunlight is disastrous. also please share evidence that attempting multiple strategies is guaranteed to lead to failure or is even probabilistically worse than only relying on current trends of attempting to decrease co2 emissions
NBER's biggest contributors are the US government. Ironically, the IRS isn't one of them.[1]

Malthus was wrong because of innovation, and if Gretha is wrong, it will also be because of innovation.
The problem needs both policy and technological solutions.

In fact, in a certain way the policy part is already there - the latest IPCC reports project that carbon removal will have to be part of our strategies for staying below the 1.5C target (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/carbon-removal-un...).
The US demands extremely detailed tracking of your income. We just get nothing in return for it.
Then that implementation doesn't even save bandwidth (for client nor server), which is one of the purposes of having a cache in the first place (together with other reasons).

Yeah well, you're one of the good ones then. I expect that to be a real test of faith for greens and small-government liberals both.
This is an interesting point but I can't see any way that we create a sustainable system that works like this. Carbon dioxide is an unaccounted part of the system. Inevitably, whether it's now or in 1,000 years, a functional society will need to account for these kinds of externalities.

Yeah, I'm surprised this is even still discussed. Most editors have a setting so I just adapt to what the code I work on is using and most often I don't even notice if it's spaces or tabs. I haven't seen anyone manually typing four spaces anyway. (At least not in the last decade or so.)
Balkanizing the internet sounds great, honestly.
Yet in practice the stack on x64 is separate from the heap, GPU memory is general is separate from system memory, and even inside the GPU you have at least a 3 level segmented memory hierarchy.

I dunno. I feel pretty confident in my measure of "making it" for myself. I will have made it when I no longer need to work to maintain my lifestyle indefinitely.

Note, that doesn't mean I'll be satisfied. But I will have made it.

I was struck by the author's suggestion that "making it" could mean anything less. "Being able to buy a house without going broke". How could that mean you've made it? If you still have to work, you're still a wage slave.
