I think that people like are actually glad that TikTok and others collect your data because it makes you feel much more important and needed than you really are!
Feels like we're grasping at straws, specially when you group that with Unicode and i18n.
Ignoring that this is pointless pedantry, I don't really think so. I think it says that complex is on the high end of the scale, and dumbing something down slides it towards the low end of simple.
My guess is that at launch and many months after launch most of the stock was being distributed in higher quantities in the US. It was pretty hard to find an Xbox here in Spain, both were selling all the units they could make. Seems the stock is improving now.
Part of the issue is that I'm democratic witch means I'm ready to go to the street, pretending referendums and changes, however equally ready we are few enough thanks to decades of school reforms and propaganda, so the walkout would be like a small trip outside to get a bit of fresh air no one else care of.

And that's an important part: I think we can't have Democracy because we miss the Demos. Actually just around 10-15% of total population can be labeled Demos, the rest can only be labeled "subject", mentally. Given that a cameback to classic aristocratic society is a bit automatic, the modern version for Russia is named "oligarchy" (as aristò happen also to be few-ish and not necessary "the best"), the west prefer "capitalism" and unfortunately the departure of such new model is not nice for a significant slice of the said 10-15% since a very small cancer do not want to divide power with anyone else counting on tech and finance to been able to rule alone.

In that sense I still fail to see something else than "oppressive". AT least in Swiss they vote every two month to approve or reject laws, here protesters have asked for RIC (Citizens demanded referendums) but such request never arrive to the be law and not enough accept to impose such change via a general strike for instance.

That means again, most agree with such governance, and since such governance do not respect the People... How can I call it?
That's definitely interesting, but seems a bit less convenient compared to, for example, writing some TypeScript (compiled to Wasm) and importing that into the JS like we already can with AssemblyScript. AS recently gained the ability to output native ES Modules (containing Wasm and exposing the exported APIs) to import into native ES Modules in plain JS (with type definitions).
Nucleur power has historically been problematic in that it creates waste, it takes a fuckton of money to decommission safely after the useful life of the reactor is over, and there have been incidents of massive environmental contamination.

Can all these things be overcome? I don't know. Let's hope so. But in the mean time there's every reason to proceed cautiously here. It's certainly not a stop-gap while green energy comes online - projects are many decades in length.
Nuclear would've been a great solution in the 70s and 80s to cut down on greenhouse emissions, but it is too late now to help from what I understand.
The same goes for the green party in Germany afaik.
If TSMC stops 28+ within a few years, nobody will need it by 2030 with such a huge gap in supply.
If the backlog keeps growing either the tickets aren't important or you need to grow your capacity through additional headcount or vendors. As a manager it's your job to communicate the implications of both.

I thought it was sarcasm, or more exactly how some people say science should be when they do not agree with reality.

Of course, the whole point of science is to make predictions. Kind of like “global warming will increase the probability of heat waves significantly in the near future” they were saying 10 years ago.
I really want to like GitHub Actions. But it feels like every time I'm trying to get something done, they are broken.
Show HN: Infracost (YC W21): Cloud Costs for Terraform in VSCode
Hey, Hugo from Infracost (https://www.infracost.io) here. Infracost shows engineers the cost of each Terraform change in CI/CD before launching resources. When something changes, it posts a comment with the cloud cost impact. e.g. you’ve added two instances and volumes and have changed an instance type from medium to large; this will increase your bill by 25% next month from $1000 to $1250 per month.

Over the last few months, I've been working on a native evaluation for Terraform. Previously we relied on the Terraform CLI to fetch cloud resource information, which was a little slow and cumbersome.

Native parsing is not only lightning-fast, but it means we have contextual file information, which allows us to try a load of cool new things. For example, we could provide real-time suggestions to optimise your cloud costs as you write your infrastructure code! This VSCode extension is the result of a few weeks of hacking away whilst I should have been relaxing in the sun in Italy... time better spent, I think!

We're excited about the possibilities of directly integrating with editors. There is so much we can do to make DevOps lives easier when optimising cloud spend. Right now, we're looking for your feedback on this initial version of the extension. It currently ships with:

1. Show a snapshot of the total cost of resources right above their Terraform definitions. Updated on file save.

2. Resource and module blocks support showing cost estimates, including 3rd party module blocks.

3. A cost overview web-view shows a detailed breakdown of what components affect the price.

Please note this is an early release of the VSCode extension, so there will likely be bugs. If you get stuck, please raise an issue (https://github.com/infracost/vscode-infracost/issues), and we'll help you out asap.

We’d love to get your feedback on this extension, mainly what you think it’s missing and would help your workflow. Head over to the GitHub repo (https://github.com/infracost/vscode-infracost) for more information and installation instructions.
Coal also produces more radioactive waste - https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/1018/do-coal-pl...
I’ve been tinkering in this space for about a year now. They all have their own problems.

- NextAuth is bare basic but gets you going real fast. The most examples - both simple and complex - and works with so many DB adapters.

- Clerk was probably the nicest developer experience: fast, works with many frameworks, and great community. But there’s not a lot of support outside of basic examples.

- Supabase Auth is a little more mature than Clerk and ultimately what I ended up choosing. But it doesn’t have the out of box features: orgs, different environments, MFA.

As I said, landed on Supabase for the application database. It makes a lot of sense and works great.
I think things can be simpler without being dumb.
Climate activists who predict doom but don’t want nuclear power are just cosplaying.

The modern world can’t run on renewables alone. It’s impossible.
… in mice.
No we couldn't switch the whole planet to nuclear that easily. If you are a proponent of nuclear, we are living on the biggest nuclear power plant we would ever want, we just have lay some pipe and extract the heat. I'm talking about geothermal.
Ah ok. Some basic pagination features then.

You might take a look at this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-RpNFa6_OiY
Those racial numbers are correct, but might be misleading if not looked at in the context of the population size of each race. It's an issue that cuts across all races though: a quarter of white children, a quarter of hispanic children, and nearly 3 quarters of black children are currently born to single mothers.
Thanks TSMC... when will you release a HV version of 28nm?
Oh... never, because you transitioned to bottom poly at 40nm.

How is your automotive eFlash at 28nm... oh, you're still working on it (since 2018)?

Well, guess we won't have many display drivers (or displays) or autos then, or maybe marketing should pull their heads out and smell the roses.

I mean, I get it. Most things should transition to 28nm on 300mm wafers for process & equipment reasons, but in order to do that many of them need for the right process to exist, and the foundries are concentrated only on the latest nodes that make margin $$ so they don't develop critical features for even 28nm. Could your customers redesign their entire architecture and packaging? Yes, but it will take years to decades to prove reliability.

I'll note that Apple's rumored OLED on Si for MR/AR is likely on a giant 80-90nm process in 300mm at TSMC so for money and volume, they'll do most anything... even build capacity.
Again? Last time that happened was 9 days ago. [0] Just like I said before, at least twice a month GitHub Actions, Pages or something else goes down.

Each time this happens, it makes no sense to go all in on GitHub. Perhaps companies like ARM, and projects like Wine [1], ReactOS [2], etc already went with self-hosting or have a failsafe solution to fall back on.

It's also worth to remember:

"Facebook Inc. has been paying hundreds of outside contractors to transcribe clips of audio from users of its services"

"Social network says it paused human review of conversations"

So again my question is wtf is so big fuss about tiktok. We already knew about PRISM and that all the data goes to the government. It also goes to 3rd party contractors, advertisers and who knows who else...

Nuclear energy would have been a good idea about thirty or forty years ago. Today it is probably cheaper and faster to just build renewables.
If they never outrank new requests then yes. If you're backlog grows and grows consistently then that's a signal to hire more people.
I can't make any of the image generation worked - they all fail with the error message. Did you have luck with any of them?
Did they look in the same place that the evidence from Epstein's island is stored? Plausible deniability + "expert opinion" serving as the null hypothesis = institutional control of Occam's razor. I for one don't think there's anything about collusion or corruption here unless proof is presented... and since proof can't be found: nothing to see here, move along. I'm sure our government agencies and these multinational corporations have our best interests at heart.
I think the „2012“ comes from the notion that Facebook was somehow more widely used in the past. I also think it’s the case from time to time since my family &friends don‘t use FB, but they have quadrupled their DAUs since 2012
Can you expand a bit? I've been meaning to go through "Drawing on the right side of the brain" [0] for years, but still haven't done so. How does Inkscape help? Isn't it just a set of "pencils and brushes" if you will?

Completely quitting alcohol. I don't know if it's an age thing, but a single glass of wine will guaranteed drop my cognitive function the next day. It sucks to quit, but sucks less than living in permanent brain fog.
In general, it's not that humid in Germany (at least in Bavaria). The number of days one would an AC annually is very low. It's not weeks/months like in the US midwest.
Not for copying, because there is no copyright on output lacking "human authorship". They cued for potential confusion/impersonation.
Flagging this because it's a rhetorical question.
No, you'd need to invest a lot of labor to port the design over. Factors like area, power, gate voltages can be completely different even between technologies on the same node (for example Global Foundaries 28nm is likely completely different than TSMC 28nm, aside from the feature size).
It seems gut microbes are in full rage lately.
This is certainly interesting, but without a wider understanding of how the whole body works, it's not particularly useful on its own.
India is the only country banned tiktok. Huge respect for the country

I haven't looked at Thunderbird in over 10 years so I decided to download it. It was very easy to set up my Gmail account.

My initial impression is that it is delightfully old-fashioned. It reminds me of the mail clients we used to use in the good old days - The list view has tiny fonts and is packed with all kinds of information. It isn't at all "slick" like Apple Mail or even Outlook.

It feels clunky, like it's an ancient codebase that's been redesigned a million times. But it's charming.
In these days of elite, small squads as shown on television, this is a stark reminder that war is incredibly, literally unbelievably, savage thing.
It took a long time for ARM to dominate the low-power space (MIPS and POWER were contenders for a long time). ARM started as a desktop processor and died on the desktop before there was a space for low-power 32-bit RISC devices.

In 2008 Apple acquired PA Semi and two years later they released an iPad powered by the A4, their first in-house design. Many acquisitions and designs later, their performance started to approach the performance of Intel chips used in their desktops and laptops. It was a very complex undertaking and they nailed it on every step.

All Apple computer ISA transitions were driven by external factors. Motorola gave up on the 68K family (a dead end for them) in favor of the 88K RISC processors (where they thought they had a chance), Motorola and IBM gave up on PPC and never delivered a low power G5 (they offered Apple Cell instead). Finally, Intel didn't give Apple the special treatment it needed to differentiate from other laptops and, since by then Apple had phone and tablet SoCs that were competitive with Intel parts and there was lots of commonality between macOS and iOS, that last choice was easy. Depending on a third party for the component more easily usable to set you apart from your competition is never great. If Apple moves their Macs and mobile devices away from ARM, it'll be the first time Apple decides that without a "catastrophic" event from outside.
No need to apologise. It's always good to counter assertions lacking in evidence with actual facts.
> Going by the metro region with a population of 2.2 million, and assuming the heat-related deaths were underreported by half (round up to 100) that’s .0045%

That is deaths per pop, not rate of deaths. Assuming people live to 80 on average, you'd expect 1/80 to die each year. So multiply that number by 80 to translate it to per death instead of per pop, and you get around 0.36% of deaths that year in Portland was due to that heatwave. 0.36% line up really well to the reported 0.4% figure from the article.
I don't think there is any correlation with level of education. I truly don't understand how people don't know this. There are a total of 12 months and the days per month absolutely never change outside of the occasional leap year in February.

What's wrong with counting on knuckles? You adjust your calendar with this contraption once per month.
Depends on the design.

Did you throw RTL at a layout engine and let it figure it out? Pretty damn close to automated and could get to automated with a little upfront elbow grease by a company specializing in such things.

Heavy analog design? It's going to be a lot more work.
Absolutely. Here's how the electricity mix changed in UK between 2000 and 2021:

- renewables went from 3 to 40%

- imports: 3.6 to 7.6%

- nuclear: 22 to 14%

- oil & gaz: 40.1 to 39.7%

- coal: 31.7 to 1.9%

This has a bit of a but-her-emails vibe to it. In an ideal world more official channels should have been used, but this was the height of the pandemic. If Von der Leyen had done nothing, it would be a way bigger scandal. I am glad the vaccine doses were secured by the european commission.
Entirely 100% disagree. Easy access to Marin and all areas north make San Francisco a much better city.
> If you believe climate change is an existential threat, how can you be against nuclear energy?

Mainstream nuclear power technology is easily repurposed to the manufacture of nuclear weapons. A corollary is that a world with no nuclear reactors is a world incapable of making nuclear bombs. If one considers nuclear war an existential threat on the same scale or greater than climate change, it may seem paradoxical to construct the tools that would proliferate that risk to fight another existential risk.
The length of a year is determined by the earth's orbit around the sun. Sure, you can make a calendar that isn't actually a year long, and then correct the errors that accumulate every once in a while, either by inserting a few months every few hundred years, or by adding a leap day every 4 years, but why would you intentionally make a calendar that isn't a year long? Leap days are unavoidable, but seasons drifting out-of-sync are not.

I'm very familiar with EEC-IV era Fords. If you want to have this debate I am very much down.

Your 1993 Crown Vic may as well be a 1980s toaster over compared to the 2010+ cars being discussed. The only digital electronics are in the ECU and for the display on the radio. There is a huge difference between a 90s Ford style lever position sensor and the BMW stuff. If the computer doesn't do the right gear for what you want you just move it until it does. The BMW will spit error messages at you.
I'm not sure what you're referring to with the Jan 6th hearings (I don't really follow US news), but in my opinion it's certainly the case that politics, media and administration are the privileged domains for which the phrase "everyone is winging it all the time" makes the most sense.
It's infuriating but I gather it's unlikely to be true for most other things in life which require, as the parent comment pointed out, actual expertise.

When I think of all my models, whether directors, writers, painters or engineers, they've always struck me as especially smart, and this feeling seems to always correlate with how humble they are and how old the interview I am watching is. I guess they mostly talk about the thing they do for a living. Also, I've noticed a decrease in global intelligence, and that probably makes people look much more stupid in comparison.

In fact, I don't believe expertise makes you brilliant on all fronts -- arguably, it may signify the exact opposite. Take an artist, e.g. an actor or a painter, that is someone who spends most of their time learning their own specific craft, why should we listen to their takes on things unrelated to their activities more than the average person? It makes no sense, but sometimes we hear musicians, actors, etc. give their undue opinions on various matters. And so we stumble upon the fact that they have, like most of us, no clue on most things in life, just like us. And that's okay I guess.
>Are we aware that in China, people mostly support Russia's invasion to Ukraine because of state level propaganda?

Are you aware that in USA people mostly supported Middle East invasion because of state-level propaganda? China isn't an outlier here.
Germany has 350g CO2 per kWh and they are also burning coal for energy. France has 50g CO2 per kWh. IMO they don't take climate change serious...
What's wrong with counting on your knuckles for the 12 total times per year that you need to adjust this calendar?
Chip designs have multiple layers of abstraction to represent a "circuit". Moving from 60nm to 28nm, your RTL is probably fine, but the physical layout will need some reworking as the transitors have different characteristics, SRAM different latencies, etc. It could be more cost effective to also rework some of your RTL, depending on your volume.
That's valid from a blank-slate perspective but we live in a world where the average coal plant produces the same amount of radioactive waste as a nuclear plant with far less stringent containment procedures.
I am genuinely interested in your position : what are your concerns with nuclear energy?
We already have Venus as concrete evidence of how bad the greenhouse effect can be.
Compared to the cost of building/certifying/maintaining/launching a shuttle based nuclear capability - the relative cost of building redundant landing sites is trivial. Although I am surprised that the salt-lakes or groom lake runway couldn't be used for a shuttle landing site on a polar orbit.

The core shuttle design to have rocket engines on the orbiter makes substantially more sense if there was at one point a planned orbital delta-v component. Orbital delta-v really only makes sense for military applications involving satellite capture/servicing or nuclear strike. As all of these can be better done with missiles/robots, there isn't much advantage in a space shuttle except for the case where the payload must be returned from orbit. On a polar trajectory the only use cases where this would make sense are spy satellite returns or weapons missions. Replacing the spy satellite entirely is obviously cheaper than returning and refurbishing it - which leaves a weapons use case which was likely discarded sometime late in the program when it was determined to be logistically infeasible or difficult to pull off.
> Fertility wins in the end

I’m not sure this is actually true.

In the USA, identification as Christian is decreasing and identification as “nothing in particular”, “agnostic”, and “atheist” is increasing. This is in spite of the fertility differences noted

I think philosophies tend to look ‘inherited’ most often in stable societies, with low geographical mobility and low penetration of outside ideas. I don’t think todays society fits that bill.
Multigigabit ethernet switches are still afaik pretty rare though, so we are only halfway there
Tourism is a substantial part of San Francisco's economy. It employs a lot of San Francisco residents.
One can hold any opinion you want, but I don't think it would be a very grounded opinion. Renewables like solar and wind should be the priority, but right now we're missing key pieces like 1) an effective power grid connecting the places that have solar and wind to the places that need power, and 2) a cost effective mechanism for smoothing over wind and solar's inconsistency.

Coal and natural gas are incredibly effective in these respects. The plants can be built near the places the power is needed and / or in places where the required grid already exists, and they inherently produce steady power on demand. Nuclear power is a drop in replacement for these attributes that can supplement renewables in a low emission way today.

Without it, or a series of technological breakthroughs in renewables, we'll just end up with an overall mix of renewables supplemented by coal and natural gas -- which isn't going to be enough. And it's not good to bet the world on the hope that we have some technological breakthrough.

Given enough time, we might instead focus purely on solar and wind, but we don't have enough time. We need to get to zero net emissions as soon as possible, and we need to use all options available to us if we want to take climate change seriously.
