> Everyone assumes that energy storage will be batteries

Power-to-gas has been the proposed solution for seasonal storage for a long time now. Few people who are interested in the topic believe that current battery technology can scale to store a couple of weeks worth of power. Maybe something like iron-air batteries, but the proven technology is elecrolysis optionally followed by upgrading the hydrogen to methane or ammonia.
School shootings kill dozens of people per year in the US, it’s a similar magnitude risk as lightning strikes or train crashes.

Infant mortality in the US is more common and indicative of problems that affect a lot of people. Namely, inequality in access to high-quality prenatal health care, and obesity. If you’re coming to work as a software engineer in the US, you are going to get good health insurance for yourself in your family. Obesity is potentially more relevant - lots of wealthy professionals in the US are obese. Not sure how much this tends to affect people who immigrate from healthier countries.
Neat idea, hopefully they are successful!

From the FAQ:

The short answer is "hardware support". ravynOS should run on most commodity x86_64 hardware using FreeBSD's very stable and performant drivers.

The longer answer is that plus I don't see any real advantage to using xnu. We have merged in Mach support now (big thanks to NetBSD, NextBSD and the iX Systems folks for that) so the xnu approach just seems to add complexity and the effort of writing and maintaining drivers.

Considering how big this project is already, I opted to stick with the BSD kernel - at least for now
I wonder if Cocoa is that language specific or if it’s become legacy tech. When Swift was announced and when I explored it for personal projects, I was very much calling Cocoa APIs. They definitely catered to ObjC-isms, but my impression was that all of the underlying UI frameworks were being preserved even if they might gain additive APIs to be used less awkwardly in Swift.

Leonardo da Vinci didn't just pick up a paint brush, knock out the Mona Lisa, and call it a career. He built his skills as an apprentice in workshops doing background figures and lesser commissions. Later artists (to the present day) have created prints and works for clients.

It's this work that creates the opportunity for masterpieces to happen. If that market goes away, the top end will be affected.

I'm not sure things like fellowships and residency programs can recreate this by just throwing money at the problem. There is something unique about the pressures of having to be bold enough to stand out from the crowd but accessible enough for broad appeal.

I'm not sure there's anything to be done, but I think we should recognize something is going to be lost here.

> From there to moving animations is a relatively small step and already being worked on. From there to photo realistic scenes directed by just words not that big of a leap either and also something that is being worked on.

I don’t think DALL-E can even persist a single 2d object between scenes. For example, if you create an animated character you like, I don’t think it’s possible to ask DALL-E to render that same character in a different scene.

And you’d need 3d training data to create 3d rendered scenes, where a camera can pan/zoom realistically through a scene. There’s probably much less of that kind of data available. What we do have is artificially created 3d scenes in movies, but it’s not always very realistic, not to mention proprietary.

If VR kicks off and people can start easily recording 3d moveable scenes then we might start seeing AI creating similar scenes shortly after.

Suppose that there would be an open source CAD software that does all the basic things right (like Blender). I agree with you that probably nobody would pay big money for that. That's one reason why it doesn't exist today. But suppose that it exists. Why then would all those "plugin makers" invest in a specific proprietary software when they could extend the open source software instead? Why would users want a proprietary software when they could use the open source software instead?

To me it sounds like professional CAD is really hard and nobody can "just make it" in a few years of work. That's the reason why open source CAD doesn't really exist today in the professional space. But once it exists, it will eat the world. The transition phase will still take dozens of years because of all the work invested in existing platforms. We will probably see something similar to the adoption of Linux in the commercial space where it simply makes sense to use Linux instead of developing your own OS or licensing some other OS.
We made it free to post jobs, and then charged a fee upon successful hire.

So that made it a win-win for companies. We promote your jobs for free, if you don't hire anyone you've lost nothing, and even if you DO hire someone, it's for a lower fee than you're used to paying recruiters.

So the hard part was actually attracting applicants. Ultimately we used SEO + blogging, our email list, a bit of paid advertising and a few other channels to get a good amount of traffic. But this takes a long time when you start from pretty much 0.

"Consistent shortcuts" is the main "feature" keeping me on KDE.

Cmd+Shift+, opens preferences in every app.

Alt+Left or Right (or Back or Forward) goes "back" and "forward", in every app that has those concepts

Cmd+Tab or Cmd+Shift-Tab switches tabs, in every app that has tabs.

Cmd+W closes the current tab by default, if the app has tabs, (or current window, if the app has no tabs)

Cmd+Q quits the app.

Etc.

What's again so special about macOS?

One needs only to avoid GTK stuff, Electron, and Windows Software, and one gets perfectly consistent behavior.

And those behaviors can be "even" configured globally! (That's something to mention specially of course when talking to Mac users as such an advanced feature like "configurability" is notoriously missing in the Apple universe).
Nice shell game there. Double counting costs and hiding the externalities of the fossil fuels.

Take a state of the art green hydrogen system at about $4/kg (and falling rapidly with projections as low a $1 in a decade)

Let's assume we have a machine that can sequester 80mJ worth of CO2 from fossil fuels or about 0.75kg of carbon or 200g of CO2 from the air for $1

If the cost of extracting, refining, storing, transporting and dispensing 80mJ of fossil fuels ever exceeds $3 (or the cost of the green hydrogen goes down equivalently) you've lost instantly.

But it's much worse than that, because that 80mJ of fossil fuel required about 160mJ of fossil fuel to be burnt durng extracting, refining, storing, transporting and dispensing, so now you have to get it for $1 (less than the current market price of methane).

You could argue that you can use green energy for all of the steps to get the fossil fuel, but that's just an incredibly stupid, expensive, polluting and roundabout way of makng a water electrolyzer.

Locally made Hydrogen becoming a more economical fuel than fossil fuels by 2035 is an inevitability. The only relevant question is whether we can find a cheap and efficient way of storing it or turning it into something at least as heavy as methane or ammonia.

Batteries will always be better per joule dispensed and thus for daily or even weekly fluctuations, but a year of capacity is unsolved and chemical storage has some pretty big upsides.
Heh. Or even “Xpm install ___” doesn’t mean I want to update thousands of unrelated packages I’ve installed directly or transitively. Regardless of their semver compatibilities.

Edit for people using macOS: if you want to install one thing without waiting to update unfold numbers of other things, hilariously Cakebrew (a GUI frontend for homebrew) will let you do that with homebrew as the package manager.

Every time people start freaking out about the AI apocalypse, i tend to point out that to my knowledge, there's no learning style AI that's beaten a mario game, especially in a real "human" style (play through each level and learn them). I've seen an AI that can beat mario 1 this way, but it doesn't "learn", it just "brute forces" by trying random inputs, and then save state reloading if it gets a bad output (dies/gets stuck), and then does thousands of those games in parallel. And this ONLY works with mario 1 in part because "go right" is ALWAYS correct. Take any further mario game, where more vertical/backwards exploration is a thing, and its not even possible (mario 3 for example).

It would be trivial of course to just program it to beat every game and get everything, by literally programming the correct inputs (literally a tas) but a task that is expected to be doable by a young human child is, again to my minimal knowledge of amateur research, not even remotely within the realm of possible for modern AI.

Fast acceleration is nice occasionally, but driving aggressively in my EV nearly halves its range vs. carefully avoiding switching rapidly between charging and discharging the battery.

Also, fast acceleration from a stop eats tires. Some EV owners report 10-20k miles per (premium) set.

(I assume you mean GW not MW, because MW is very little for a proper power plant). Solar panels produce about 200Wp/sqm. In Germany they average to about 12% of peak production over a year, so say 22W/sqm averaged. 6GW continuous is then about 51k football fields[1]. I assume that the US has lots of land that is much sunnier than Germany, so you can probably get away with fewer football fields.

Midjourney has a very strong house style they apply to all images - it always looks vaguely cyberpunk and more or less only has one face.

You can change it by turning down their style parameter and then forcing it off to another part of latent space with the right prompt words, and it kind of helps. The aspect ratio flexibility then makes it more interesting than other models currently out there.
> I wonder if we'll see a new generation of "editors" showing up to help curate and provide some guidance in terms of what to play if you're limited on time.

Iron Pineapple has an entertaining series he calls "Steam Dumpster Diving" which is similar to this, but it's very focused on Souls-Like games.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KARY5ocvKo&list=PLuY9odN8x9...

It does sometimes include games many of us have heard of but there are a lot of unknown games, and plain bad ones (he has a soft spot for student projects too). I think he sees the value of new ideas hidden in jank, as do I, so I like the series.

I think the shift will be towards matching personalities, you get to know a reviewer and see what they like and how compatible they are with your own opinions. It doesn't have to be a one-to-one match as long as you're aware how they diverge on certain genres. The curator section on Steam seems to be an attempt at this, but any social media that allows following/subscription could serve too. It's still a significant time investment to keep up to date and to even find that matching personality.

I wonder if I actually bothered leaving reviews on Steam, would it suggest people with similar tastes to me?

> OEMs are significantly less invested in their developers and the quality of the software they produce than any FAANG.

We must be using different FAANG software because the ones I use on a daily basis are slow and buggy as all hell. The last few versions of macOS/iOS have been atrocious. Every version of CarPlay I've used has bugs. Amazon apps are full of glitches. Compare that to developing engine ECU software which I think is a far more difficult engineering task that the average overpaid UI JavaScript slinger could not handle. You can't just update ECU software every week because you sloppily overlooked something. Unless you're Tesla of course.

I don't deny that there are many outstanding, technically excellent engineers at FAANG that deserve every penny they make. But the sad reality is many of them are just TC-chasing posers who got lucky and have subsequently deluded themselves into believing that whatever narrow expertise they now possess is worth far more than it is on the open market.
> An AI could make something look like a Picasso, but it could never invent cubism.

I wouldn't bet on this
I'm not sure if "OpenCASCADE is just not a good enough" in the architectural sense or if they just don't have the manpower. When I looked into some bugs a while ago it sounded like "yeah, we've know this bug for years, we would like to work on it but don't have the manpower right now". Just adding outside contributions to such a project is probably also not possible because the components interact in many ways and you have great potential to introduce a lot of subtle bugs.
I'm curious to see how performative this will manage to actually be... Itd be interesting if it could eventually run audio software and AU plugins at a low latency.
