I suppose it's a reasonable tradeoff to people who can't quantify risk and treat everything as uncertain, have too much money, too few problems, oh! - and whose neighbor just got one.

The same busy-bodies posting long Facebook screeds about how they narrowly avoided a pack of child traffickers at Local Suburbia Shopping Plaza with a picture of two hispanic dudes in work clothes and a work van buying diapers.

I find them to be generally unconcerned with anybody else except for the monthly PFP change.

Pine needles may be calorie-negative and unpleasant to eat, but they're very high in Vit C and available in the dead of winter. I would hardly call them inedible. You can make an oxymel to extract the vitamins & make it easier to eat.
They did forget/lose the recipe.

Now imagine some key technology that appears to be "less important" and with "smaller budget". It will never come back; it will be lost foever.

Modern technological society is always less than a generation away from "losing the recipe" for any given critical but ignored technology. I saw this at HP and it can be as quick as 2-5 years in some cases.

And this applies to outsourced technology infrastructure - once outsourced, you can NOT just flip a switch to bring it back - it will take 20-50 years to bring it back and only if you fund continuously (not continually).

We pay our governments to solve tragedy of the commons problems.

So:

1) Default times are required to be randomly dispersed over a 15 minute interval.

This should be entirely non-controversial: If you don't override the default then you really don't care.

2) Selected times are required to be offered as randomly dispersed over a 15 minute interval, with an option to say "no, dammit, do what I said".

This is not too controversial: If the dialog box says "Picking this time instead helps keep your hydro bill low", then a lot of people will say "ok". Uptake doesn't need to be 100%. Controversy will likely be for the device providers, who will have to implement the UI.

Option would be to allow "shift by 5 minutes" (or some such) that still preserves some randomness.

It's a bit eerie that my phone alarm at 0600 is completely synchronized with "This is the World at Six" news intro. I'd hate to be the power utility facing a 20% demand bump over a period of 5 seconds.
I'm amazed how many people just don't care about their sleep getting interrupted. I had a thing with my neighbors where I was complaining about them waking me up. They basically told me they don't care about getting woken up and I should just relax. Like yeah, maybe I could relax if you let me sleep. I was blown away theyre alright with constant sleep interruptions. I can't believe the qol stuff people just put up with.

Interesting. I think I would still be interested in the total energy held by the battery, plus the amount it is expected to degrade year on year.

I'm still not sure why you say Wh/y would be a more appropriate unit, given that it would change as the battery degrades.
A quick question.

Have you also included:

- storage costs (equivalent of EBS, S3 and Glacier) and
- cost of analytics pipelines (equivalent of EMR, Athena, SageMaker, ...)

in the above price comparison?

Would you have some insights there? Thanks.
The new Sydney Metro has trains every 4 minutes in some areas. Can’t really remember ever waiting long for a train in Barcelona when I lived there.
I don't think the holds. When Sony bought Columbia there's an apocryphal story of the USA executives explaining the business to the new Japanese owners and saying "We make 20 movies and only 1 is profitable". The Japanese executives talked to each other in Japanese and then replied "Please only make the 1 profitable movie". In other words, the mis-understood that the USA executives were trying to tell them they don't know which of the 20 movies is going to be a hit.

Going back to 2019 (so taking COVID out of the consideration), "Dark Phoenix" tanked, cost $200 million. "Gemini Man" tanked, cost $172 million. Plenty of 30-70 million dollar movies that didn't do well.

This page list 680 movies that came out, no list of budget but only around 1/6th made 10 million and I'm sure there's a long list of the ~500 that made less than 10 million that cost more than 10 million to make.

VC firms, game studios, and movie studios all operate using the same “blockbuster business model,” meaning they expect the profits from one of every ten deals to pay for the losses of the other nine.

Maybe the lesson is that multiple blockbuster models interfere with each other when combined into one venture? It seems kind of like how you can’t make an infinite chain of hypervisors.
Hollywood has a near infinite supply of original writers and source material to take from and adapt to film.

It could be argued that it’s less about creating content than transforming content (craft mastery and artistry is still required, but the concept is pretty different).

That’s also where I think Netflix isn’t that much in trouble based only on its business model.

But it doesn’t work with game creation. You can’t just transform source material (original or not), it needs completely different innovative elements.

To note, game franchises also exist, but while they are wildly profitable I’d see that as a well guarded niche.
I read that book (when forced to while in school), and I mostly only remember Big Brother and that dystopias suck. Also I would take everything stated about everyplace, inside the fictional regime or not, with a huge grain of salt. I probably did at the time, which is why the specific world state just never stuck with me.
The alternate take on "the US is ahead by enabling car ownership by a huge chunk of the population earlier" is that the US tried it and is a cautionary tale for how it breaks down once the population gets large enough. It's still "good enough" for now that it would be extremely hard to justify the cost of undoing it - though Lagos would be the even more extreme version of that tale, if US cities ever want to get significantly denser. I'd say no other country would want to follow it, but it's not like it's purely a planned thing there either (see Lagos again). But the more developed places that already/still have the trains are unlikely to decide Atlanta or Los Angeles traffic is what they're missing.
I don't think he ever claimed he could do it. Like, really. He's a scientific, I only think he said he would do his best. Which is a fine thing to say, and keeps all the respect of the field, because everyone knows it's fucking hard / next to impossible.

I haven't played Ingress since it was owned by Google. When I stopped allowing Location Services on my phone, Ingress went away with it, unsurprisingly. I did make a lot of friends back then, some of whom I still talk to today.

The Teensy 3.2 was fast enough; we're running matrix math for remapping the stick gates and a modified Kalman filter at 1000 Hz, and bitbanging the GameCube protocol meanwhile.

Replying to you again, very late.

> Fortunately we can look to other countries that have managed to avoid political duopoly by using voting systems which don't penalize people for voting for new parties. Even better, some US states have already implemented such a system[0], and, going back to your point about constitutions, the people of Maine managed to introduce RCV not because of a constitutional requirement, but despite a narrow (state) constitutional prohibition.[1]

I think you are right, voting systems are the best place to start.

That and prohibitions on justices and congressfolk from weighing in on matters they have a personal or political interest in, such as receiving political funds or assistance.

Imagine if donating to a politician whose influence you want will make it more likely they cannot help you. That leaves donations reflecting people's assessment of who will better run the country in a more general sense. Those donations look more like "free speech" than the rampant influence purchasing that overwhelms the system today.
Is advertising recipe app is easier than recipe website? I think opposite. Recipe sites are often found by recipe search on web, but I never downloaded recipe app from app store when I want to cook something.
> Budgeting is great, but a lot of people end up being penny wise and pound foolish.

It really is a classic move that we see repeated over and over again. Your budget should be unique to you. Someone might look at those same services for $100 and say "to hell with it" and cancel them all, but I think a lot of people are on your side.

Personally, budgeting starts from the top down. Rent, car, food, utilities, etc.

Live in a modest place, own a used car, and cook your own meals are all basic ideas that can really cut costs. That's a very over simplified example, but generally, I think it's a good framework.

The value gain I get out of something like Netflix or a video game absolutely trounces the value of getting take out one night (for me).

Avoid alcohol, period. Your body and mind will thank you.
> I don't see legacy auto being capable of refactoring their cars, manufacturing processes and business models fast enough to survive.

That doesn't make any sense. "Legacy auto" knows how to make cars. To their final assembly factories there's not a huge difference between a BEV, PHEV, or an ICE drive train. So long as they feed in components they get cars out. They definitely know how to get components made to feed into their factories.

That's a place where they have an advantage over Tesla. They can make BEVs that break even or lose money because they have a whole line of ICE cars making a profit. Tesla only has their up market BEVs to make their money.

Tesla doesn't have a moat around BEVs. Now that "legacy auto" is making them Tesla is just another BEV manufacturer. As their market share erodes they're going to have a harder time maintaining their price premiums. They also don't have the deep bench of fleet sales that "legacy auto" has. The places they're trying to diversify (Power Wall, solar, etc) aren't markets that support the premium prices they currently enjoy with their cars.
Yes. Zeihan believes that by the 2030s the US will be significantly more dominant than it is now.

At the moment though, we still have strained finances and limited motivation to defend everybody else's supply chains.

I guess you are talking from AAA gamedev perspective while making some huge 3D title. Small team like ours working on 2D pixel-art base-management game dont need any of the following: geometry editing, animation editors, rigging, particle editors, material and UV editors, physics/navigation/ai system.

Mmmokay.... We of course use some basic physics for collisions detection, but everything else is mostly animated sprites and a lot of code. There are a lot of game mechanics and they all implemented without any visual scripting.

And even with Godot scene editor is solid I simply don't have to touch that much since all basic objects were implemented long ago and it's mostly duplicating with some editing for integrating new visual content.

95% of time I spend working on gameplay code and here Godot own code editor UX is very lacking compared to almost everything else. So here VSCode comes.

This is one of my peeves about Apple - it's very clear that the designers of current apps and the WWDC message is to PRESUME 24x7x365 cloud connectivity.

Watt hour is a unit of energy. Energy is the capacity to do work. When the batter leaves the factory, it is empty. It has no energy, but it can hold energy if you give it some.

It's like if you produced gallon-sized plastic water jugs. Let's say you made 1000 a day. Would it be accurate to say you produced 1000 gallons of water a day? No, you produced 1000 empty jugs.
I had a very nasty case of insomnia 7 years ago. Without going into details of my associated illness, I went 2-3 months with almost no sleep due to hypnic jerks/sleep starts. When I told people I couldn't sleep, they assumed I just had difficulty falling asleep, but I literally could not fall asleep. It is terrifying. For whatever reason, whenever I miss a significant amount of sleep (one or two nights) I get very bad sleep jerks to the point I would start to fall asleep 30+ times a night and then wake back up immediately. The only two ways past it I found was a benzo sleeping pill or alcohol and both were hit and miss (just to inhibit the jerks - I had no problem starting to actually fall asleep). Even then, my body seems to build up massive adrenaline after sleep deprivation, so I would wake up 1-2 hours later in a cold sweat and have to start all over. The more sleep I miss, the worse it gets, and after you miss several nights in a row you get VERY "sleep anxious", and so the cycle continues. Once I'm caught up, I'm fine and the jerks disappear completely, but it takes a while. I just had another case of the jerks this year for the first time since then but I was able to get over it in about 3 weeks this time. Still, it freaked me out as I had considered myself past that and had gotten a little bit careless.

The point of this long winded intro: Don't take sleep for granted. If you sleep well, cherish it. Ever since this time I keep immaculate sleep hygiene. I go to bed on time, at the same time, get daily sunlight, don't eat before bed, and 9/10 times I'm asleep in minutes and sleep great. I still have occasional early wake insomnia, but for the most part sleep well.

Occasionally I think about things like mentioned in this article and what the long term effects will be, but mostly I just don't worry about it. There isn't anything I can do about it at this point except try to sleep as best I can from this point forward.
