If anything such overreach will lead to a loss of support for republicanism.

As it is I think Australians generally see the Queen (and Governor General to a lesser extent) as being outside politics. There is a deep cynicism in the electorate that it will be possible to select a head of state in a manner that will not be politicised, leading to a loss of independence of the head of state.
lol not just nsw
I've always thought this kind of "we can update the EULA" clause pretty much invalidated the whole idea that you should carefully read EULAs. If one of your starting rules is "the rules are whatever I say they are" then there's no point even reading the other rules. In reality, of course, nothing means anything until it's tried in court.
You can also use spotlight search from the home screen and type "define: whatever" and the first result will be from the iOS dictionary.
But it... does work? You know you don't have to personally completely solve a societal issue in order for your small individual contribution to the solution of that societal issue be worthwhile, right? Geez, this reminds me of how I used to think when I was a literal child. Just completely ignorant of the concept of universalization and collective action.
Quantify "a bit" for me.
> ASML took all the risk in developing EUV alone

Not really. They acquired Cymer for their EUV tech.
You think CA would still be 5th in GDP without reliable water?

Unless desalination becomes more efficient, CA is thirsty.
Wtf is/was "the machinery"?
Well, yes but no. It's good that Amazon is hiring ex-cons and minorities. It's good that Amazon is not testing for weed.

None of those things obviate the need for a union.
We can do without the water. If the country could do without the crops.

As a Californian, I don't mind. But I have ran across some people who simultaneously think we need to keep growing, but, refuse to consider the idea of helping us with our water problem.

It isn't a California problem. One way or another, it's a USA problem. Food or water. Pick your poison.
What exactly is greedy about ”westerners” than those in the east?

People just set their homes wherever they felt convenient assuming their taxes would get them the water they need. Sounds like you’re just bringing in prejudiced politics into a discussion about getting water to everyone in your country. Also, inconsistent? Pretty sure the biggest water guzzlers everywhere, the farmers vote republican.
Agreed. I’m in California and it is pretty obvious our water problems are due to outflows exceeding inflows. They are draining the reservoirs faster than ever. They were full three years ago and are supposed to last five to seven years of drought, by design.

Meanwhile, natural reservoirs like Tahoe do not even recognize there in a drought.
IMO “free software” is misunderstood in exactly the same way “open source” is misunderstood, at least in the way you mean. Both terms are not good at getting the important point across in the title, because the words people want associated with the title aren’t actually in the title. This will forever be a problem as long as the title requires explanation (which it unquestionably does) and as long as software is a growing field and new people keep joining. I don’t know why the idea to say what you mean would get push back, we can’t expect people to interpret the phrase “open source” to mean more than what those two words imply. We can, and should, IMO, come up with a phrase that has words that imply the important bits. Following the CC model, maybe something like “derivation allowed” and “no discrimination”.
But... it's not about cost.

It's about having energy available.

If weather reports show overcast and low winds, and your grid runs on wind/solar power only, who cares about their electricity bill? There won't be any kWh available to consume.
Renewable energy is great, but sun and wind are intermittent. Grids cannot base themselves on renewable energy without some sort of impractical battery storage scheme or major advancements in creating renewable Green Hydrogen for fuel cells.
This seems reasonable to me. 5% of the water that’s just going into the gulf otherwise seems perfectly reasonable.

On the other hand, the engineering to elevate that much water will be interesting.
You don't need induction for (x+x'e)^n+1. The binomial formula can be applied once the arithmetic on dual numbers is introduced.

> We can use this result to prove the same property for any smooth function f. Examining the Taylor expansion of f at zero (also known as its Maclaurin series):

That's not exactly true. For example, arctan = tan^-1 is smooth on R, but its Taylor series only converges for |x|<=1. However, polynomial series expansions exist for |x|>1, where similar arguments would apply. Also, Taylor series and Maclaurin series aren't the same thing. A Maclaurin series is a Taylor series centered at 0.

Lastly, is "differential programming" a new term? It seems weird to me that the machine learning community continues to reinvent terminology for already existing things. What is wrong with automatic differentiation? (Not necessarily a question for the author.) It's not really a new paradigm in the sense of "logic programming", "object-oriented programming", "functional programming", etc., and is instead just a technique.
> "The upper 128 bits from the ASCII table" is presumably a mistake and means the upper 128 code values maybe?

Probably, the bullets at the start say "upper 128 positions".
"our water" -- this is exactly how Northern Californians talk about water. "We don't want to send it to LA so they can water their lawns & wash their cars!"

Guess how that turned out.
Not quite. A lot of the research on EUV was in collaboration with various national laboratories and universities. They were far from the only ones thinking it could be done. The Chinese themselves wanted to give it a shot before ASML proved it was possible.

It's mostly that ASML's competition generally wasn't keeping up. They have a monopoly even on last-gen DUV. Canon and Nikon didn't keep up and couldn't afford to work on EUV.
There is no "wall thickness to withstand 100 psi" that is independent of the size of the tank. Stop thinking that that is a real thing. The thickness of the wall needed to withstand 100 psi increases as you make the tank bigger.

Here's a simple online calculator for wall thickness of pressure vessels. Change the radius of the vessel and watch the wall thickness go up in proportion.

> I wonder if the root of the issue is profit expectations.

When I was a youngster I was taught that capitalism promoted hard work and innovation, but it seems like that's only true during a growth phase. Once you've got a cash cow there is no reason to innovate, once you've sold or licensed a patent you can cruise on royalties, and if some upstart threatens you then sue, slander, or buy them. Beyond a certain tipping point the need for profit hampers if not outright suppresses innovation.
see for example The Capability,
which had all state governments wilfully submit to the feds, in handing over state-held license photo data to enable construction of a national facial recognition system. The only jurisdiction to seek any limitations to how The Capability can be used against aussie citizens was (drumroll...) ACT.
Well, if they have to keep moving their RVs, then at least there'd be a good incentive to get them and keep them running. Talk about incentives - perhaps prioritizing enforcement of RVs with drugs, trash, and sewer issues first would do a world of good. "They won't hassle you if you keep to yourself and don't leak fluids and leave trash on the street".

These guys do have something to lose - their RV and all their stuff in it. You can't ask them to magically with money they don't have, but you can effect behavior and priorities.

Now if you lose your RV and start squatting in a park, get warned for trespass and then stay anyway, while doing drugs in the open and shoplifting, etc. I'd love to see an escalation that eventually lands you in jail (not prison) and a 1/2 way house and treatment.

Rules need to be enforced. They can and should be enforced extremely compassionately and incrementally. But they need to be enforced.

And if they are not, this is a perfect example of what happens. The city has now de-facto abdicated a lot of it's authority and here we go, back to vigilance committees and self-help of 150 years ago. As shown, the self-help mechanisms lead to sub-optimal solutions for everyone. Now no one can park on those streets at all and the homeless are still homeless. Society just isn't going to just sit back and let shit-heads ruin it for everyone because the current city governance is too ineffective to take care of business in an optimal way.
Using at home productivity to leverage a remote work agreement was one of the main points of the 4 hour work week.
We can grow that food in others places that get rainfall. If they won’t grow, we can and should breed them so they do grow.
What the hell kind of a tent costs $61K every year?! I think maybe this is the problem. A $500 tent is about the best you can buy, so spend $1000 per tent for an extremely luxurious tent, and save $60K per year per tent.
Public transit isn't slow, dirty, or dangerous in Tokyo. The problem is, you have to be culturally Tokyo to make that happen.

> What is the difficulty in autoscalling Spark jobs?

I mean, running spark is an awful experience at the best of times, but let’s just go from there.

Spark drivers pull messages off Kafka, and scale executors up or down dynamically based off how much load/messages they have coming through. This means you need stable host names, ideally without manual intervention. The drivers and the executors should also use workload-specific roles - we use IRSA for this, and it works quite nicely. Multiple spark clusters will need to run, be oblivious to each other, and shouldn’t “tread on each other” so the provisioning topology should avoid scheduling containers from the same job (or competing jobs) onto the same node. Similarly, a given cluster should ideally be within an AZ to minimise latency, doesn’t matter which one, but it shouldn’t be hardcoded, because the scheduler (I.e. K8s) should be able to choose based on available compute. Some of the jobs load models, so they need an EBS attached as scratch space.

> What jupyter env do they use?

We use jupyterhub wired up to our identity provider. So an analyst logs on, a pod is scheduled somewhere in the cluster with available compute, and their unique EBS volume is automounted. If they go to lunch, or idle, state is saved, and the pod is scaled down and the EBS volume is auto-unattached.

> That's genericm what do those services really do? Sync request/response backed by a db? Async processing? What infra do they need to "work"

The API stuff is by far the easiest. Request response, backed by DB’s, the odd analytics tool and monitoring tool as well. Servers themselves autoscale horizontally, some of them use other services hosted within the same cluster, all east-west traffic within the cluster is secured with mTLS via linkerd, between that and our automatic metric collection, we get automatic collection of metrics, latencies, etc. like what you get with the AWS dashboards, but more detail (memory usage for one), automatic log collection too.

> Where are you running your workloads?

AWS, but minimal contact - S3 is basically a commodity API nowadays, the only tight integration is IRSA, which I believe GCP has a very similar version of. So most of this should work in any of the other clouds, with minimal alteration.
Consider the difference between stealing and buying water, and that often, in the Mississippi watershed, there is too much water.

Selling water you don't need or want and getting paid for it doesn't seem like a bad thing? Although, a lot depends on the price.
This is the worst take that I can't avoid hearing about.

How does one build a canal that moves water uphill for 1500 miles across the continental divide in these quantities? If not a canal, then how do we do it? Pipes?

We're talking a million cubic feet per second in the Colorado river during high times, which has been completely drained and diverted by communities downstream.

The keystone pipeline carries 50 cubic feet per second. The largest pipeline in the world carries 1.5x that. Nowhere close to what a functional river provides.

So, either antigravity so the Mississippi flows uphill, or 20,000 keystone pipelines.

Desalination plus local pumping is much, much less science fiction.

> SMIC is supposedly shipping 7nm chips now. There was a big national security thing to prevent SMIC from getting access to ASML EUV steppers.

What's the logic behind the national security thing of SMIC shipping 7nm?

By national, which nation is being referred here?

I thought technology competition is the best kind of capitalism, right? How is it a national security thing that your competitor is catching up? Isn't that a good thing that capitalism is actually working?
Regardless of your plans to eventually be free, don't release as free and then switch to a pay model; it'll generate a lot of strife. Figure out an angle where you say it's paid, but just don't charge people at the moment. This seems to work well for WinRAR, and worked well for WhatsApp (for a long time it was $1/year, and there was no way to pay, then there was payment, but no enforcement, then enforcement in some countries but not most, then FB bought us and made it free everywhere)
No, it's the stupid status quo thing to do. People need to move where resources are, not shift resources across an entire fucking continent doing god knows what to the ecosystems in between.

This godlike arrogance thinking we can just rearrange the earth on a whim for our needs is the fucking problem. This is why humanity is a cancer.
Told ya housing was expensive in San Francisco.
The outflows exceed the inflows suddenly because the inflows have dwindled of late.
I understand that this is mostly for agriculture, but maybe let's stop building and expanding big cities in the desert. Golf courses in Phoenix, for example, seem like an irresponsible use of water.
That depends on the location: https://model.energy/
I'm pretty aware of the costs of vehicles and delivery. I can afford the vehicles. When I need them they're way easier than hiring a vehicle. I have hobbies you can't fit into an Uber, such as a plasma cutter, and forget renting a U-Haul to look at a lathe or cnc.

I biked everywhere for 7 years when I moved to Seattle, 2800 miles a year. Still was very nice to have the car.

If I feel like snowboarding I can just go. Which was highly dependent on work, especially night skiing, which you can't Uber to, and the one bust required me to only go on Saturday with 4 hour overhead and a 30 minutes Uber in the wrong direction. The opportunity cost of all that planning is worth the $2000 I spend a year on licensing and insuring my vehicles. Gas is gas be it Uber or my car.

Not everyone fits into one mold.

If I have to get deliveries with someone else's car then I've just externalized the car but I'm still very car dependent
It’s mostly used by agriculture. A large portion of the food you’re eating come from CA. I think there are some major crops that need to be rethought, but a broad crop failure would be pretty devastating to a lot of people in the US
Yeah, people and systems don't generally change until they have to.
I think young kids are much more OK with boredom than adults, at least up to a certain age. The whole idea of "boredom = bad" is, IMO, a cultural meme. In the course of time, kids are simply taught to think this way.

Before going to the kindergarten, our firstborn was fine with "doing nothing". He rarely questioned it. As soon as the first months there were passed, he started complaining about "boredom" at home -- obviously, either other kids or the teacher had brought this meme up. He is 2nd grade now, and with some success, we teach him to think that boredom is OK and a source of unexpected, inspiring ideas.

I think kids are fine as long as you don't completely forget the right buttons.
Would you dare to elaborate?

I frequently see this sentiment, yet have never once seen any detail made as to how it’s possible. Please explain.

The cost goes up a bit when you augment solar/wind with enough storage to make it always available. But it's not enough to save nuclear.

Of course it's about cost, the cost of achieving that availability.

Oh, I see. You are somehow imagining that storage cannot exist. Please stop.
They're gonna reach out and see how far this extends. According to 3.B, the game would be a "derivative work", and as such shouldn't be subject to this requirement. They've already started working on replacing it with Godot.
Canada used the Emergency Act, which suspended some Charter rights, to break up the Trucker Convoy.

When challenged in court a week later, the government recinded it (so the court case was dropped). A formal inquiry requested cabinet minutes on the decision to use the Emergency Act which was denied until very recently (when it was challenged in court and the media).

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/public-inquiry-emergencies-...

It's very much a "we will do what we want and you can go ahead and sue us", but of course by then, the damage is done in the sense that infringement of our rights just got a little bit easier.

No doubt the inquiry will raise concerns, but not until next year when it'll get minimal attention in the news cycle and the Prime Minister will say "At the time it was the right decision...we only take away rights when there is no other option...democracy is safe..."
Just wanted to chime in and hard agree on this. I remember the world where people were trying to build things like kubernetes before it existed. There was a period where enough people had left google post ipo to realize that they needed something like borg but nothing really existed like that outside of elgoog.

Twitter had Aurora, then elsewhere mesos and mesosphere popped up and it seemed like there were going to be about 100 different frameworks until Kubernetes dropped and basically ate the industry alive. K8s feels pretty stable from where I’m sitting.
Recently I have tried some interesting extensions on chrome. mini-games, fun app/tools that customize your wallpaper and some money saving tool really work. Anyone has the same experience like me?
Containers are not regular processes. One could argue that you can have a container without any process in it.

A container is an abstract idea that normally comes together through the synergy of [at least] cgroups, namespaces and overlay filesystems.

I'm probably just uninformed about this, but can anyone explain why there are so many comments about California here? The article seems to be about:

> Lake Powell (Glen Canyon dam on the Utah/Colorado border) and then downstream to Lake Mead (Hoover Dam/Las Vegas) and on through Arizona and beyond.

The article seems to use California as an example in a couple places, for example

> Water conservation on the part of everyone living in the Southwest is certainly important, but conservation simply can’t do the job. Los Angeles couldn’t exist without the California Aqueduct. Phoenix and other cities in the Southwest are in the same boat. Their future survival depends upon finding large amounts of new water.

but I think, at least, the main beneficiaries would be the Southwest states. (?)
HN is the boostiest of the boosters with nuclear. It's just a bunch of cheerleaders.

That is indeed the same Youtube channel, and the person mentions that it was their third attempt. And it was a world record!

I will grant you a hypothetical wherein the inverters are all perfectly synchronized by some central system and have no reliance on grid voltage as the primary signaling mechanism.

But, this is a precipitous arrangement. If there is any drift in the clocks or some fault in the sync protocol, you can quickly wind up with a completely dead grid (because all your inverters will have killed each other).

Spinning metal is very simple and robust. The failure modes are all much more gradual in nature. Today, one or 2 bad inverters would not start a chain of horrible events because hundreds of tons of metal are not easily perturbed. Without inertia, a bad element in the grid can have substantially more impact.
Many large California cities have similar problems too.

That's not how licenses work. If they change the EULA, users of the software have to agree to it again for it to bind them. Usually what happens if a library license changes is that users are stuck on an old (potentially unsupported) version if they don't want to agree to the new EULA.

I doubt the EULA as written is enforceable.
