It's not technology. It's about culture (which is linked to the social imaginary, a kind of group consciousness operative system, hence a kind of immaterial technology itself).

Psychologically, at the core of the problem, this is what happens:

I hope your father has found some peace. It has been a dream of mine to record enough of my father to create a neural net capable of imitating him. I know it would be a phantom parroting for me, but still. I understand this idea is a bit disturbing to some, but maybe it could ease the grief of others.

>IQ isnt meaningful because i know counter-examples.

That doesnt mean anything.
Yes, you're right, too often we do things that seem like a good idea but are actually counter-productive. (If that wasn't true we would be living in much greater comfort by now.)

E.g. those little florescent light bulbs? Worse for the environment than incandescent, because the environmental overhead of production and waste management outweighs the benefits of the greater efficiency.

That doesn't mean that we should keep using incandescent bulbs. They are ridiculously inefficient (for one thing they put out much more heat than light. They are technically heaters that emit light as a side-effect.)
It measn we have to think a little more deeply and clearly about what we're doing.

We're going to have to make some major changes if we're going to avoid disaster, and "we" here means all of us.
> Real time also generally means your input sizes are bounded and known, otherwise the algorithm itself isn't realtime and malloc isn't the reason why.

I think you meant to say something else? Real-time is a property of the system indicating a constraint on the latency from the input to the output—it doesn't constrain the input itself. (Otherwise even 'cat' wouldn't be real-time!)
Watermelon is grown from seed, so there can be variation with every single generation. Grapes are clones, grown with cuttings.

The LTO is the estimated lifespan of the plant. The LTOs provided in that chart are well below the real lifespan of these plants.

The capital cost of building the plants is also provided in the chart. That means this accounts for "the cost of power from new construction nuclear" you refer to.
I felt this article left some things unexplained, like what is a mass bleaching event? The wikipedia article on Coral

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks for sharing this. I interviewed both of my parents (separately) several years ago and recorded the video and took notes that I transcribed. They are both still living but these are some of the most valuable digital files that I possess.

I may interview them jointly now. But doing it separately helped get their individual personalities to come through.
I don't know about you, but for me it was obvious from day one. Amassing a huge heap of personal data, bar access to it for all competitors and not to exploit it themselves means to leave a tremendous pile of cache on the table. Shareholders won't understand that. Apple just badly needs revenue to justify its' 10 years exponential growth.
This is great idea. I wish I had done this with my Mom but am deff going to do with my Dad.

Can you recommend some good questions to ask during the interview that resonated when you were watching it?
Walmart-only items does okay.

I recently bought a new personal hygiene item. Many reviews on Amazon indicated that the item had been used, in two cases, with photos of pubic hair. I noped my way ought, and paid a few bucks more for the same item from Walmart.

I'm not sure what's wrong at Amazon, but something's very, very wrong.

It's the most concrete thing we keep from him, and I just regret I didn't interview him more.

I think most women would trade and accept male clothing restrictions rather than the nonsense social requirements of heels, make-up, and all of the rigamarole that goes with women's clothing, between its fragility and difficulty of washing, to its cost, to the inherent sexism of how all of it is "looks over function", mostly pocketless with low utility, etc.

I also don't think most men would trade into that horror scape we've created for women. If you're one of the few men who would, good on you. I say, wear those heels and skirts, and see who cares.

The paper lays this out: there are baseband features that use the Secure Element, and talk to it over I2C, because it stores secrets for things like (I guess?) car keys. That doesn't mean those chips can DMA things into and out of the Secure Element.

For clarity: the Secure Element is the payment chip in the phone; it's not the SEP, the "Secure Enclave". The Enclave's memory is, in addition, hardware-encrypted.

The cellular baseband on an iPhone is an HSIC peripheral.

Indeed. It was so much easier to find stuff you are looking for a decade ago. Now it is mostly spam or (what really grinds my gears) AI written posts that only after reading it for a while you realise it is all bollocks.

That being said, I remember my cousin had a blog where he was writing utter nonsense about trending topics and he was actually able to pull enough money from Ad Sense to afford a pub crawl once a month.

Now of course all of this is streamlined - one button website generators with AI content and posts for given topic and self optimising for engagement and advert clicks etc.

But I see Google has thrown in the towel and no longer cares for search results.

I hope SoundCloud manages to hang on somehow. I've found it much better for music discovery then I have Spotify, mainly because I've really diligent in curating my list of who I follow and as a result, each day when I open my stream, I'll get a a few hours of new and unusual electronica sets to listen to.

Without SoundCloud I never would have found genres like 170 Drum'n'Bass or Dark Disco. With Spotify, I'll just get... the Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Foo Fighters. Both bands that are somehow in the centre of the Venn diagram of musical taste.

The only thing that's come close to this is YouTube's recommendations. Somehow the YouTube algorithm has decided that I need to be shown weird and wonderful full length albums of Japanese funk and jazz from the 80s. When I read the comments on the videos, they're inevitably from other people that are equally bewildered about why they got recommended the album too.

Okay. How do you tell the kernel that? Sure, the kernel will have put a guard page or more at the end of the stack, so that if you regularly push onto the stack, you will eventually hit a guard page and things will blow up appropriately.

But what if the length of your variable length array is, say, gigabytes, you've blown way past the guard pages, and your pointer is now in non-stack kernel land.

You'd have to check the stack pointer all the time to be sure, that's prohibitive performance-wise. Ironically, x86 kind of had that in hardware back when segmentation was still used.
As a side note, uBlock Origin blocks the sponsor banner which makes sense, but also makes it so you can't see the disclosure.
>having tourist amenities without being touristy. Charming, slow, cheap.

Ugh, this reminds me of the people that move from high tax places to low tax places but want all the benefits of high tax places at low cost.

Now, back to the main point, if this was searchable it wouldn't exist.

The number one complaint people have today is popular places are too busy, too many tourists come and prices go up and it's over ran. So what do you think is going to happen to some place that 300+ million wealthy people around the world can search in a few seconds and find out it's cheap an empty. The answer is "become busy and expensive".

The only reason places like this still exist is Google can't find them.

Not arguing the lack of progress on the platform, but I think usage varies depending on type of music. I use SoundCloud daily still, their stream function where I’m checking latest posts from artists and labels I follow. I listen to a lot of electronic music, and I listen to dj sets on sound cloud that aren’t posted elsewhere. I rely on it for new dj sets, and they’re still the best for that IMO.

> Amazon doesn't come close to occupying "the bottom" so far as shopping experiences are concerned

Amazon exists well beyond the realm of Walmart.

Even when I lived for several decades in the US, Walmart was place you only went when there were literally no other options. Aside from the practical matters, there are endless memes which illustrate why only gun-toting brain-discarding trump-loving people go there. It's a shitshow. It makes you question reality at a level which is both intensely disturbing and also possibly enlightening (assuming "reality" is a simulation that we should wake up from and break out of).
This study [1] deals specifically with brain imaging in the malnourished, but it starts off with a pretty good literature review in section 1 and 2 that may offer you some pointers. This [2] is a review of the literature on the question of childhood nutrition and brain development, see particularly the section "long-term consequences of undernutrition in early life":

> Many studies have compared school-age children who had suffered from an episode of severe acute malnutrition in the first few years of life to matched controls or siblings who had not. These studies generally showed that those who had suffered from early malnutrition had poorer IQ levels, cognitive function, and school achievement, as well as greater behavioral problems. [...]

> Chronic malnutrition, as measured by physical growth that is far below average for a child's age, is also associated with reduced cognitive and motor development. From the first year of life through school age, children who are short for their age (stunted) or underweight for their age score lower than their normal-sized peers (on average) in cognitive and motor tasks and in school achievement. Longitudinal studies that have followed children from infancy throughout childhood have also consistently shown that children who became stunted (height for age < −2 SD below norm values) before 2 years of age continued to show deficits in cognition and school achievement from the age of 5 years to adolescence.

Domestication and breeding/husbandry aren't always done consciously, but even when they are, people produce selective pressures (e.g. selective breeding). Evolution is ambivalent to intelligent, conscious choice or natural selection, as long as the next generation's heritable traits are different.

I am haunted by the question of whether our ancestors (who were every bit as smart as us) were naïve when it came to humor, or have we lost something?

Were Caesar and Henry IV's jesters as hip as Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce? Did Dave Chapelle-level humor exist in earlier centuries? Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy etc. were clearly the pinnacle of humor in their day, yet I find their acts trite and boring. Only "Who's on first?" still works.

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were hip in the 50's. Today they are passé. Is our humor evolving? Are we developing an irreversible, ratcheting level of sophistication? Or was there some ineffable zeitgeist, a quality to the context that we can never recreate?
The Jim Keller interviews are great too!

In 2015 the Aussie government tried to have it de-listed as a UNESCO site so they could dredge it (Nobody had ever asked UNESCO to be removed before).

I regularly use gnumeric for my serious spreadsheet work because Excel can't keep up, and I'm always a little surprised when I have to send a spreadsheet to someone and I find yet another thing that Excel doesn't do; I haven't kept a written list but here's a few off the top of my head (of varying levels of seriousness):

- Excel still gets very confused if you have different files with the same filenames in different directories. At one point it would even, if you crashed while editing one `grades.xlsx` file and went to edit a different `grades.xlsx` on restarting, it would restore the new one from the old swap file, silently clobbering data.

- Last I checked, Excel can't do a lot of very basic data graphing (histograms are the ones that I've run into most often).

- Some versions of Excel (the web one, I think) will just silently not format text that is rotated, making some spreadsheets completely illegible

- I got immediately attached to CSE formulas once I discovered them---they do a lot of things I'd always thought I had to build a custom program for---but 90% of the time when I build and debug something in gnumeric with a CSE formula, it works just as I expected based on experience with abstraction and data structures in other languages, but then when I bring it over to Excel to share with other people, one or more of the Excel functions just don't work properly when lifted over arrays. Then I have to go create an explicit area of the sheet (or another sheet) for my intermediate data and copy formulas to make the computation work, ugh. I really want every single function that normally takes non-range arguments and produces a single value to map over a provided range and produce an array when dropped in a CSE formula. (PS to everyone: if you've never crossed paths with "Control-Shift-Enter formulas", look them up and they'll change your life)

It's not strictly necessary precisely because all recursions can be "simulated" with a heap allocated stack. And in fact, the "simulated" approach is almost always better, from both a performance and a maintenance perspective.
