This is an archived page. So what's shown here is that the site /did/ say mRNA and Spike don't last long.

Arguably this is incorrect, although maybe poetic license applies: "Our cells break down mRNA from these vaccines..." This is incorrect because the mRNA hijacks the cell's machinery to produce spike so no, this is incorrect; on the other hand, the immune response... mediated by other cells... does indeed break down the cells which are emitting Spike, at least eventually, or at least that's the plan.

For hard-core numerical computing, Julia would be, I think, be far superior.

Speaking as a 40+ year Common Lisp developer, I like this project because it is built on Common Lisp arrays and smoothly integrates with the Common Lisp ecosystem. I have spent some time using alternative CL libraries that sit on top of BLAS, etc.

The amount of energy provided by the solar panels would be a rounding error compared to the total needed to move the train. Almost certainly not worth it.
Oh, yes, I certainly would. Shared libraries are an expensive, trouble-prone solution for that relatively uncommon problem.

Anyway that's not why we have shared libraries. They were invented so that memory managers could load the same library once, then map it into the address space for every process which used it. This kind of savings mattered back when RAM was expensive and executable code represented a meaningful share of the total memory a program might use. Of course that was a very long time ago now.

I don't own a car and very rarely Uber (basically only to the airport and even that's purely out of laziness). I just carry two Costco tote bags back to the subway. It's not the most comfortable but it's much better than the costs associated with car ownership from my perspective. If I have a purchase too large for the subway, like a TV, it's cheaper to just rent a Zipcar.

The Central Valley is not a desert, I do not like this meme.

Farmers in California were running out of water 100 years ago too, and people responded with massive engineering projects to regulate water throughout the year and move it from places that were at the time water-rich to places where more water would allow using the extremely fertile land with favorable weather for agriculture.

It’s not insane to consider doing the same again.
>how would you accomplish a ban on agriculture?

Ground water is a limited public resource. Farmers do not have the right to pump the aquifers dry and render the area uninhabitable.

I would imagine that you could require a license to pump ground water in areas where the ground water level has already dropped dangerously low.

>Water rights east of the Mississippi work differently than water rights to the west. In the west, they are based on seniority.

That applies to water on top of the ground (lakes, rivers, streams), not the water under the ground.
I can't speak about actors, but there was a time when a major benefit of being in the musicians union was the standardization of contracts that might cover complicated issues such as credit, royalties, re-publishing, and so forth. So it wasn't necessarily the magnitude of the money, but making it humanly fathomable how the money would actually be distributed.

I've heard people say to freelance musicians (like myself), that you don't really need the union until you start working in recording or broadcast.

I've not seen a screen actor's contract but I'll bet the provisions for working conditions and rights are a bigger deal than the pay scale. Also, I've read that in general, unionization efforts tend to be triggered by working conditions rather than pay. Even programmers could benefit from that.
That does not make it a currency

Cloud.gov was really promising when it was announced years ago, but in practice there ended up being so many differing security requirements and security boundary tensions between them and purported customers of them that they didn’t end up having any real impact because while some could use them, many could not, and those who could often found it easier to just not use them. There were also issues getting needed performance out of underlying Cloud Foundry infra and highly delayed updates, including security patches I believe.

Truly a great idea and noble thinking, but government problems are rarely about the actual infrastructure and almost always about the bureaucracy surrounding things, as was the case with Cloud.gov. I think this is partially proven by its current customer list, which seems to be largely smaller or discrete projects of agencies rather than wholesale agencies moving to their PaaS, despite Cloud.gov being around since I believe at least 2015-2016.

Good overviews of how it is put together:

Using open source Cloud Foundry as the basis. Seems well thought out.

However, I wonder if a better approach would be to offer this PaaS but also lower level baselines that make using AWS easier and more secure so it’s not all or nothing to take advantage of their services.

Neural nets do use extremely long compositions of nonlinear functions whose gradients need to be computed over and over.

Funny that you wrote `break if v == 11`. In a prototype I wrote 5 years ago (to learn syntax handling) I implemented this. What ended up happening is if I could do `break if ...` then I'd wanted to do expr if. Like `fn() if v == 1`. But at that point it gets confusing to read. Maybe I can try implementing this only for `break`, `continue` and `return` but it might annoy people because expressions aren't allowed. If expressions are then it's back to the problem I had in the prototype

I don't know if it'll make things more clear to you but curlys aren't nessicary when you use return/break/continue. I didn't write it because I didn't want to scare people off with the lack of curlys or confuse people on the front page

The `::` part looks nice. Would you want the statement to be forced on the same line? Or not like how C allows statements after `else`? As mentioned the compiler forces curly braces so it'll have to be forced to be on the same line as the on statement and I don't know if you'll find that to be a dealbreaker

> : strict zoning, housing codes, permits for most major building actions, minimum parking requirements...

Yeah, a bit of hyperbole. It seems more that the mess of regulations are just patches on top of patches, sometimes with conflicting intent and not with much long term design.

And a lot of it is controlled at a extremely local level. This means we end up with paradoxes where everyone acknowledges that we need more houses, nobody wants to densify areas near themselves. It's always someone else's problem.

It's the same story with power shortages in California. We need more generation but plant after plant was denied because the locals objected to the proposal for building near them.

It's clear we need planning at the state level and override local municipalities to force development. If they complain then the response should be "you had your chance to solve it and blew it. Too late now. "

I think your intuition is spot on (and I used to listen to my 3D printer before PrintNanny)!

Microphone input is on my experiment list, but I don't think I'll execute on this idea any time soon. I think the mechanical failure detection is "good enough" at the moment, so I'm now focused on stream-lining the experience of managing lots of printers.

Workflow automation (like printing shipping labels or batch QR code labels) and fleet management are at the top of my priority list. The AI is fun and flashy, but it turns out people just need a CRM for 3D printing.
On an annualized basis, tapwater in San Francisco costs $3.68 per cubic meter[1], which is actually approaching the rate for desalination to be cost effective. (For agriculture, it still far far (far) away.)

Traditional (distillation) desalination uses too much energy (10+ kWh per m3). Reverse osmosis plants drastically reduce that, to the 3kWh range[2]. From what I remember from my now-outdated university studies, the capital cost of the membrane was more the limiting factor, as they get fouled pretty quickly. Disposal of very-high-salinity brine is also an issue.

[1] https://sfpuc.org/sites/default/files/accounts-and-services/... says ~$10.71/unit, with each unit being 768 gallons, or 2907 litres. (there's a lower rate for the first 4 unit, which I would guess is subsidized). 10.71/2.907=$3.68

It's not just a subtle attack, but there is a huge amount of money behind getting office workers back. There are so many businesses that depend on you driving several hours per day, parking, being rushed so you have to buy food (or even better - your business caters so the caterer has a fixed contract), buying office attire, keeping that office attire clean, outsourcing easy work because of time demands, buying prepared food or take out or delivery because you have no time . . .

Symbolic AI never managed to scale to significant and general real world problems. Neither did Machine Learning, not until the advent of fast processors and massive datasets for training which broke the scale-barrier.

Rule-based expert systems (as opposed to SAT, etc) based on Symbolic AI also have the issue that for non-trivial problems, coding the rules themselves usually requires programming expertise in addition to the domain knowledge required to capture the business logic. Things have improved a lot since the 80s, but applications remain fairly niche.
They could do that and I'm sure they considered it. In the end, the consumer pays the same price. But I'm sure there are some internal accounting games going on. The $1500 is booked over the next three years, not all at once. So I'm guessing the accountants may have a plan.
Absolutely 100% agree. I work in a senior role in a vfx company. The adage that 20% of the workers do 80% of the work is more true in vfx than you'd likely believe.
Tesla is way ahead of other manufacturers in terms of putting modern tech in their cars (their navigation UI runs at more than 10 frames per second which is still a challenge for a lot of legacy automakers) which also gives them more opportunities to use this modern tech for user-hostile purposes. However, greed isn't specific to any single company and the other manufacturers will eventually follow suit.

Since I also put PAIP in my top 5 books, here are my 4 other ones:

- The Pragmatic Programmer -

This changed my life when I started programming 20 years ago. Most of the practices are now common, but it was almost radical back then.

- Designing Data Intensive Applications

This is so well written, so elegantly fundamental. It's an absolute pleasure, even if I don't really refer to it in practice.

- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

In many ways, the MIT version of PAIP. Its elegance complements the pragmatism of PAIP well.

- The unicorn project

My number 5 book varies often, because I haven't found many books that reach the writing quality of the other 4. This is a business novel, but it really solidified a lot of concepts for me: lean, queues, theory of constraints, what devops is about, working as a programmer in a business.

On the other hand, Googling and downloading random shit is also the perfect way to end up with malware or break things. Wouldn't it be better if you didn't need to download unverified tools from potentially shady websites just to repair what you own? If your product requires specific proprietary software to repair, that software should be provided when the product is sold.
I won't speak for teammates but I found everytime I list features people don't really think about it. Maybe it's because they never seen it so they never thought about it and as a consequence don't think it's noteworthy. If you browse through the pages and read the examples you'll see many. The On statements for loops are my favorite and elsewhere someone told me they have no idea why I would want to know if a loop is complete (meaning you didn't break or return out of it) or why I would want a special handler for when you break a loop.

I see reference to jaywalking. The argument was "Walking is so rare that a small group of people walking together is seen as something out of the ordinary."

While I skimmed the 20+ page PDF two clicks into the "reference", I still don't see cases where walking itself has been criminalized. Of course people can walk places they shouldn't (and whether they should be allowed or not is debatable) but I really don't see anything about walking itself being criminalized as the comment argues.

So I asked a question for clarification, instead of posting about the fact the comment was conjecture.
As someone who runs 20+ cloud based government applications it is unclear to me how this is easier to secure, more performant, or cheaper than AWS. My first impression is this adds a lot of risks and unknowns in a critical area where there are existing and well-known best practices.

Once again. 2 situations.

Situation 1: Person has no money, or worthless money.

Situation 2: Person has 50k USD worth of global currency.

Situation 2 is obviously better. Massively. It is absurd to pretend like situation 2 isn't clearly, obviously, and massively better.

Yes there are some issue with global trade, or whatever. But it is clearly, and obviously better, to have 50k USD in an offshore account, or 50k worth of currency somewhere else.

Think about this situation, specifically. No, it is not just "you can keep your Netflix subscription".

That is a bad argument. It is worth more than that.

> Various regulations and logistical impediments

No. You would be wrong to just say "regulations" means that having 50k worth of USD money somewhere is now worthless. I can promise you, that anyone at all, living basically anywhere in the world would be better if if they had 50k USD in an offshore account.

You cannot seriously, with a straight face say "yep! Having 50k in an offshore account is worthless!"
