On the one hand, you need to use the laser links for this, on the other hand, the satellites over the water aren't going to be busy, so there's not a lot of congestion to want to use pricing to discourage; certainly, there's some congestion near the shore, but there's a lot of shore.
Yearly averages are probably the most sensible to look at. Wind is at 20% which is still nothing to sneeze at:

> According to ERCOT, nearly half of Texas’ electricity was generated by natural gas-fired power plants in 2019. Coal-fired plants and wind power each generated about 20 percent, while the state’s two nuclear power plants — the South Texas Project near Bay City and Comanche Peak near Glen Rose — supplied a total of 11 percent. Solar, hydroelectric and biomass resources provided most of the remainder

I think to agree about that we have to agree what the words "man" and "woman" mean. If they are derived from biology (ie. "adult human male/female") then no, we don't agree. Of course if you "pass" then I don't think anyone has an issue in practice. The issue would be for non-passing, obviously male, people making women feel uncomfortable in their spaces. Hoping this can be discussed reasonably.
> We, as humans, are only entitled to what we can ourselves provide.

Humans are entitled to nothing, because there is no metaphysical overseer that decides who does and does not deserve things. Entitlement is an idea created and perpetuated by human beings to justify certain kinds of behaviour.

> To believe otherwise may be to hoist the black flag to take from others that which they did not earn.

Capitalist labour, by its very nature, is an extractive process that takes from workers what they earned. This is the genesis of that thing known as 'profit'. I followed the same logic as you when I became a socialist bent on upturning the current social order.

> But, to believe that a normal human being can do nothing and that someone else will provide for them - wholesale across our country - doesn't seem very sustainable.

I don't really care about what's sensible or sustainable, compared to what is good and just. (Our current way of doing things is certainly neither!) I wouldn't feed someone because they're infirm and can't get their own food; I'd feed them because they're hungry, end of story.
Well of course it is getting more skewed. A lot of industries have not actually become more productive. Industries where making the first copy is very difficult, and subsequent copies are basically free, be it software, books, movies, TV. Economies of scale, opening to new markets means those returns are higher than ever.
Compare that to a janitor pushing a broom. How has he become more efficient in the last 50 years. And a lot of industries seem to have had negative productivity growth, the ratio of administrators to professors in college is going in the wrong direction

LGBT people bundled themselves together, decades ago.

> If a game is rendering at 60fps, the combined compute time for simulation+rendering should be 16.6 ms.

It can work this way--e.g. nvidia exposes an 'ultra low latency mode' in their driver that caps prerendered frames to zero--but typically for smoother animation and higher average fps gpus will have a queue of several frames that they're working on, and this is irrespective of how many render targets you have in your swapchain. Danluu's breakdown above is actually correct for the typical case.

---

Thought I'd clarify how this works since there's lots of confusion in this thread. In the early days you would directly write pixels to memory and they'd be picked up by a RAMDAC and beamed out to the screen. So if you wanted to invert the color of the bottom right pixel it would take at most two frames or 33ms of latency if you were running at 60fps double buffered: first you set your pixel in the back buffer, wait up to 16.66ms to finish drawing the current front buffer, flip buffers, wait 16.65ms for the electron gun to make its way down to the bottom right corner, and then finally draw the inverted pixel.

With modern gpu's, the situation is very similar to sending commands to a networked computer somewhere far away. You have a bit of two-way negotiation at the beginning to allocate gpu memory, upload textures/geometry/shaders, etc., and then you have a mostly one-way stream of commands. The gpu driver can queue these commands to an arbitrary depth, regardless of your vsync settings, double/triple buffering, etc, and is actually free to work on things out of order. You have to explicitly mark dependencies and a 'present' call isn't intrinsically tied to when that buffer will actually end up displayed on screen. So there's no actual upper bound on latency here; even at 360hz if the gpu is perpetually 10 frames behind the cpu, each frame only takes 2.77ms to simulate and 2.77ms to render but the overall input lag could still be ~30ms. (In practice though, drivers will typically only render 2-3 frames ahead.)

Saw this last night before I went to sleep, but still no comments. Can't be a lack of karma from the poster. I'm legitimately curious to see the response of tech crowd, but it's just crickets.
Sure, some food may have contaminants. Fish is a good example. You might have to choose, for instance, farmed salmon instead of wild. Pesticides may be a factor. Microplastics are going to make this a more annoying problem.

But far more important is to control _what_ you eat. A tomato is a tomato. But ketchup is not a tomato. You may get health issues from contaminants, maybe. But you _will_ have health issues due to bad diet.
Not the same, though there are more tools than ls that use directories.
Nobody is forced to accept a fact if they do not want to. There's a large gulf between awareness of knowledge, including facts, and agreement with such. This is an especially important nuance in this quiz, where the precise implications/meanings of knowledge vs ideology are a critical part of the study.

Imagine that there was a secular Islamic expert. And he was quizzed on Islamic ideology in a similar fashion, such that he was obligated to imply belief in such, in his answers. Assuming he is being as accurate as he can in his responses, he would end up scoring as completely ignorant of Islam as he marked all beliefs as false.

I disagree there's a clear trend here, even without the 1s, because there were clear exceptions such as e.g. climate change where, even by their metrics, anti-consensus views were predictive of greater knowledge. So you end up having to, at a minimum, limit the stated claim to specific fields.

Excuse the delayed reply. No, my friend. No relationship.

I vaguely remember hearing about that approach. Dr. Smalleys seems to be on the right track, since he implicitly recognizes that voxels must be created in 3d coordinates.

My proposal [yes, about a real image in space, not a hologram - posters are right to correct me] is simpler. It leverages a recognized physical principle, the aforementioned Moller scattering.

The problem, as pointed out by others in this child branch, is that having electrons collide is difficult, on account of their very small cross section. But it is doable. Somebody evoked a CRT. Exactly. The first prototype could be achieved, as far as a proof of concept goes, with only two orthogonal beams, generating exactly one voxel at the precise location where they cross.

Granted, in the beginning of development the device will be ugly, heavy and energy hungry. Use cases: automotive, aeronautical industries, architecture, physics, logistics, etc, etc. With time, home entertainment and the metaverse.

Without generating 3d-localized voxels it is impossible to construct a 3d display. Holograms only go so far.

Certainly. Just relatively fewer where I live now, compared to the trucks.

Depending on where I've lived in the area, I've experienced the japanese cars more, or the BMW's more. BMW's weren't as bad when I lived in a rich town, but any flavor of SUV was really bad. If I had to pick a brand which was particularly preferred by assholes then, it would have been Lexus.

It's the difference between a satellite able to relay between two ground locations (e.g. ship and uplink) and series of satellites able to relay directly to each other. In the first case, you need both endpoints to be in same satellite's footprint. In the second, you need to just have any satellite overhead and any satellite in range of an uplink with a few intervening satellites.

That is, that reflects a leap in technology, not an incremental growth from putting more satellites in orbit.

I remember only 12 or so years ago, there wasn't really such a thing as a hiring manager, or recruiter.

Now there seems to be several layers of gatekeeping, an industry built up around hiring, with it a stream of "shit" jobs like "talent managers" and so this kind of shitty bureaucracy you described.
This is really good fun, actually. Spent some time fucking around with it and it can make some impressive photorealistic stuff like "hoverbus in san francisco by the ferry building, digital photo".

The interesting part is that it can do things like "female ice giant" reasonably whereas google will just give you sexy bikini ice giant for stuff like that which is not the vibe of my campaign!

C was used because it existed 30 years ago, and is full of ambiguities (undefined behavior), and Rust curtails UB quite a bit by defining many semantics that are left unspecified in C.

You don't need a "locked down" language to build an OS. In fact Linux just upgraded the version of C they use to C11. Time always marches forward, my friend.

> No you can't (unless you do it yourself but the price is extremely high if you want uninterrupted power). What happens is: your provider purchase "green energy certificates" which means that some green electricity was generated on a sunny and/or windy day. When it's night and the wind don't blow, you use coal and gas as everyone else.

that is bullshit.
also besides that germany is small compared to other countries and dense, there is no time of the day where its nowhere windy nor sunny. so at the moment there is just no need to purchase green energy certificates for the bigger providers, they can either buy power from other providers or they can produce their green power.
and also it does not matter, since if you need 3kW and they can't deliver green power at the moment they will deliver more green power later, thats how it usually works.

> No storage is cheap enough to store solar and wind energy on day-to-day scale, let alone seasonally.

also bullshit.
it has nothing to do with cost, more with there is no storage for everybody.

most providers that offer 100% green power actually do generate the amount of power in green that you use (that is their premise) of course they can't create different power lines, thus it's a mix.

(in germany it's forbidden to mark your product as "100% green power" if you buy certificates, of course you can write it some where but if your contract states it, it would be illegal, but there is a difference between contract and marketing, of course... Energiewirtschaftsgesetz - EnWG §42)

Pike isn't even talking about that, only the typical config files in the home dir that clutter and affect performance of file name ops in the home dir.

They could just as easily be in $HOME/cfg or $HOME/lib, which is what we did in Plan 9, which had no dot files. Lessons can be learned.)

I have to agree. I can't think of any situation where hiding really helps. If the reason is clutter, the solution should be a dir.
It is, exactly, the distinction between accidental and essential complexity that has not panned out.

Productivity is about getting solutions successfully deployed to production. Things that interfere with that may be "essential" or "accidental", but the distinction turns out not to matter much.

One of Dan Luu's better essays covered this.
My High School which was a fairly well funded public High School in Illinois, US hadn't upgraded their shop equipment since the 80s really it felt like. We had wood tools, saws, the basics only. The coolest thing we had was a smelting forge, but students weren't allowed to use it due to safety concerns. This was in the late 2000s.
> Admitting you don't know is one path around this but, in practice, too many make you look unknowledgable and may mean that future important questions will be aimed at your seniors or superiors.

I think it's also a different circumstance to not know the answer to a specific question vs. appearing generally unknowledgable. The latter will definitely get you bypassed in favor of someone who knows something.
As much as I don't like it, calling your political adversaries nazis is pretty typical in the Anglosphere. People usually mean those people over there are authoritarian in some vague sense and I don't like what they're doing. It's obnoxious, shitty, and I wish they would stop but I fail to see why it should be a crime.

> Tyranny is what happens when we don't confront this behaviour

The history of speech codes doesn't provide evidence for this claim. Actual historical Nazis were arrested for violating hate speech laws in the Weimar Republic, and used those arrests to promote their cause and their own victim narrative. Then when those same Nazis came to power they used speech laws to ban political dissent. Speech codes in the south in the US were used to arrest and harass civil rights activists on the basis that the were promoting racial animus and hate. The US used to lock people up for protesting the draft along similar arguments.

Anywhere you look speech codes are either used for oppression, or are useless in stopping hateful people. This happens because the either operate like the Streisand Effect or prohibit legitimate discussion and create zone of forbidden speech where hateful people can gather and disseminate their nonsense free from scrutiny and public debate. I highly recommend Free Speech: A History from Socrates to Social Media by Jacob Mchangama[1].

To be clear, if what you have is just plastic, you should really be recycling it. If it's mixed solid waste and it's too late for that then...

> According to the Environmental Protection Agency, burning municipal solid waste emits nearly as much carbon per unit of energy as coal, and almost twice as much as natural gas.

And while gas is definately better than coal (due to burning clean, cheap to build, fast ramping) many estimates of methane leakage in the fossil fuel extraction process mean it could be (depending on how and where you source it) more than double the GHG impact than just the burn itself.

For me, the extra money diverted from the fossil fuel industry tips it in burnings direction, as long as sufficient effort is made to scrub the exhaust gas of toxins and if recycling wasn't clearly better.

Which it is. So we should do that instead.

Alternate gravity theories struggle with gravitational lensing. This is a proven observable optical phenomena in the study of the universe.

Kroupa is still trying to explain the rotational differences between observation and "normal" Newtonian/Einstein gravity. This is colloquially referred to as Dark Matter. A gravitational (matter like) effect, which doesn't interact optically via standard EM as we can see the galaxies and stars. Hence the name Dark Matter.
Honest question, is there any good reason for doing solar on buildings in urban areas? It seems like solar power it should be considerably less expensive from large installations on cheaper land outside the city. The only reasons I can think of to built it on buildings are:

1) Virtue signaling. (Not a good reason)
2) The person who builds it truly wants solar but doesn’t own that other land so it’s simple to just use their roof. (Not a good reason)
3) Power transmission from another location more than offsets the cost savings. (I doubt this is true)
4) Tax/policy distortions. (Not a good reason)

Am I missing something? Is there a good reason for rooftop solar?

Signals are good for rare, unpredictable events. If you have a firehose worth of data coming in, you're not sitting around waiting very often. Your data probably also has some commonality to it, and can be handled in bulk. If you have 100K events coming in, they're probably events of the same type.
