Pakistan is a classic case of what moral bankruptcy looks like when you harbour terror just so you can hurt your neighbours. For decades, they allowed terror camps and bases because it would hurt India and in the process military was under supreme control of the state. All along, US supported them because a) they were always suspicious of India being a Russian ally and b) they somehow thought by some crazy logic that Pakistan is going to be their ally in war on terror.

But then the snake they were growing in the backyard with the hope of hurting their neighbours started biting them. First the collapse in Afghanistan and then decade long war on terror followed by economic stagnation coupled with corruption at the military led the mass to basically become completely robbed.

This is the populous that somehow thought India is their arch enemy and their leaders are all on their side because the state religion Islam was used as a tool. Ya I don’t have much sympathy for them.
Sitting in India (presumably) what evidence have you got for this?

Alcohol absolutely does help social anxiety by improving mood and lowering inhibitions on a brain chemistry level. There are plenty of factual and scientific reasons to dislike and discourage alcohol, the "it's all in your head dummy" angle isn't one of them.
There are a number of obstacles. Neutron damage to the reactor structure is more of a problem, since the fuel is dissolved in salt in direct contact with that structure (unlike a reactor with solid fuel rods, which are separated from the reactor vessel by a thickness of moderator, in the case of LWRs is water.)

See here for a (somewhat old) list of some technical issues:

"Nickel-based alloys embrittle under high neutron fluxes at high temperature"

"Over 40% of [fission products] leave core [in offgas]"

"Large fraction of cesium, strontium, and iodine end up in offgas"

"MSRE was approaching end of allowable service life when shut down" (after four years at 40% capacity factor)
I've evaluated both Tauri and Flutter + flutter_rust_bridge.

I immediately felt really productive in Tauri/Svelte/rust. It just kind of clicked with me (completely new to Svelte, but been doing SPAs and JS desktop apps for some time as well as being in the rust scene for years). It was like the ease of electron, but with a better build framework for bundling rust. Really a good setup, easy to get into, easy and fast to build in.

I think Flutter is a really great UI framework. The way it's set up really makes sense and makes it fairly easy to structure the UI. That said, I really do not like Dart at all. I found it difficult to learn a new language and a new UI framework at the same time, and found myself pining for HTML/javascript again. flutter_rust_bridge obviously alleviated this a bit because it made it possible to move most of the logic into rust. I am honestly also worried about Flutter being a Google project. They tend to abandon projects quite a bit. I do like the promises of Flutter and didn't actually have any material issues with it. I think I might give it another go on the next app I build and see if I can get over the Dart hump.

Out of curiosity I put the numbers into Wolfram Alpha, and it suggests that even if 100% of our current power (all power not just electricity) needs came from fusing deuterium and tritium into helium, those reactors would make only about 5.3% of our current helium consumption.
This, 100%.

It eats/consolidates formerly-disparate costs around the org. Because it's so good.

Which makes it look expensive.
I knew this problem as the '100 prisoners' problem.

The warden offers 100 prisoners a chance at freedom - if every one of them can find their key, randomly placed in 100 numbered boxes. The keys are numbered (honestly) as well. Each prisoner separately can make 50 attempts (open up to 50 boxes sequentially).

Every prisoner must find their own key.

What are the odds, all of them can succeed? Surprisingly high - around 50%. If they follow the right algorithm.

My insight was a game we used to play in Scouts - everybody face the center of the room in a crowd, reach across and grab two hands at random. Then try to untangle all the loops formed without letting go.

Clearly only loops can be formed, and clearly more than one can be formed.

The odds of multiple loops is high - in fact, the odds that no loop is larger than half the participants is high.

That's the critical insight that allows every 'prisoner' to succeed. Sometimes. Maybe half the time.
You’re right, they’re not comparable: Apple was going to be scanning for CSAM on your device, without the photos even reaching their servers (by uploading a backup, texting a copy, etc). Google, so far as I can tell and as corroborated by the article, doesn’t do that. Apple and Google both already scan anything uploaded to your Photos account for CSAM and report to authorities.
This is like a gazillion photoshops being released in the wild. Things change with scale, and there is a threshold where, if enough people start doubting often enough, then all the people will doubt all the time
I'd suggest creating a new version of the spec that requires more advanced parsing and let people add spec version to the top or bottom of the file via a comment. (adding comments would be really useful too)
this was a great ad for YC :)

i think where people are more borderline is if they can raise at a decent seed valuation elsewhere already (eg based on existing revenue or prior reputation/technology being far more established).

It's well understood that YC has some value add. So the fun question is - what is the valuation you can raise at which it does NOT make sense to enter YC?

YC values you at ~2m when they invest (120k divided by 7%, 380k MFN SAFE aside). Lets say you come out of it worth $10-20m on average. Maybe the connections and other stuff gives you value worth $5-10m. so if your business is valued above 15-30m you should consider NOT going into YC.

Is that a good way to think about it? any of these numbers you would change?
Not exactly. An order of magnitude change doesn't always mean 10x in base 10! 15 and 150 differ by an order of magnitude but so do 15 and 180.
Using gas for residential heating is saner compared to using electricity (what the French are using, for example). Afaik it also makes it easier to use centralised heating systems, which are more efficient than "outsourcing" the heating to each building or even to each apartment.
> No, I was there at the inception of this term, and it was absolutely originally imagined as a way of controlling researchers and giving vendors more power over information about their products.

I mean, that half is the carrot to get vendors to play ball and actually fix their shitty code occasionally. It lets unaffiliated white hat security researchers who are just trying to get sec issues fixed actually get some focus time from the various sauron-esque eyes that are corporate attention by converting a 'bug report' into an 'impending pr nightmare bomb with a known timer'. It's a similar hack to complaining on twitter to deal with a marketing department instead of calling in to a customer service line that's just trying to get you to go away.

> It has pissed researchers off for decades, as it implies that not following the "responsible" process makes one per se "irresponsible".

The point of calling it responsible is to defend the researchers who have massively less power in the relationship against the vendors. Even now you'll see whitehats lambasted for eventually disclosing after a vendor dragged their ass. Beyond that, yeah you can't please everyone.
The article first states that the science is pretty much unambiguous, but doesn't seem to like that conclusion, so then picks out experts who at first also admit that the evidence is overwhelming, but then quickly segway into speculation like "restricting your calories or cutting out certain foods may not be healthy overall if it negatively impacts your mental health" without offering any sort of evidence that that's an actual issue (the only evidence offered there is a study showing that diets have high relapse rates, without discussing any relationship to mental health).

One reason why the BMI doesn't work well at the individual level is that the square exponent for height is wrong for 3D beings like us. The article completely glosses over this well-known issue. I can empathize with the agenda behind this selective reporting, but I also find it questionable in a time when obesity has become an epidemic to the point of being among the most important preventable risk factors [0].

Fyi, we also don't scale linearly (which would imply an exponent of 3), the actual exponent is sth like 2.5. So to align with the established scale, Prof. Nick Trefethen of Oxford University suggests using the formula 1.3 * weight/height^2.5 for metric units [1]

History fun fact: the 2.5 exponent was already known to the inventor of the BMI, but apparently that wasn't considered practical to compute in the 19th century (source: also [1]).

As a result, I know that my todo list has only things on it that I actually care about.

Does it? Or does Rosetta 2 run on Mac OS with a Linux shim to ask the host to kindly Rosetta-ify a given binary?
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as macOS, is in fact, Darwin/macOS, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Darwin plus macOS. Darwin is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Unix system made useful by the BSD corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Darwin system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Darwin which is widely used today is often called "macOS", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Darwin system, developed by Next Computer.

There really is a macOS, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. XNU is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Darwin is normally used in combination with the macOS operating system: the whole system is basically Darwin with macOS added, or Darwin/macOS. All the so-called "macOS" versions are really versions of Darwin/macOS.

---

Apple's engineers still refer to the OS as Mac OS X. Ventura is technically 10.18, despite the 13 major number in their marketing.
I said so much myself:

> It will obviously still be 10x more efficient to eat the single cell protein directly than to eat single-cell-protein fed animal protein, which would in turn be about 2x as efficient as eating vegetable protein.

(so you merely reiterate what I wrote) and the paragraph right before it

> We observe it is very hard to convince people to switch from carnivore habits to vegetarian habits. Presumably it will be similarily difficult to convince carnivore population to voluntarily switch to eating single cell protein.

which answers your question:

> Why accept a 3-10x efficiency loss by feeding it to chicken and pigs?

Because citizens enjoy autonomy and the state doesn't force people to eat SCP directly. In the knowledge (not in their defense) that a large group of people eating meat refuse to switch to vegetable protein today, it is naive to think they would however switch to eating SCP directly.

Like a frog boiling in hot water, just because you don't perceive it, doesn't mean it doesn't affect you. The business model of ad-based services is that they sell the ability to manipulate real world behavior to the highest bidder. That manipulation ranges from innocuous ads for products you don't need, to political ideas and misinformation. There's a chance that you're self aware, self disciplined and very observant and manage to avoid this manipulation. But given the fact that it works extremely well at scale, it's more likely that you're just not noticing how you're being manipulated.
Strong disagree on this one. I'm pretty sure someone looks at the service that lacks (to their mind) sufficient advertising and is making decent revenue and thinks something like "Wow, a couple (more) ads and this could make a lot more money!" And then (more) ads are added.

Unless there's some dis-incentive we can expect to see more ads in more places. People abandoning the service doesn't seem to be enough, I suspect the longer someone has a particular service the more they become accustomed to it and the more pain it takes to get them to move to another service.

> We can produce heat for hydrogen, replacing the need for fossil fuels in heating, transport and industry.

What does it mean to produce "heat for hydrogen"? Why is heating hydrogen a useful property (how does hot hydrogen replace fossil fuels in heating, transport, and industry?)? That seems oddly specific, so I assume I'm misreading something?
> Am I remembering something else here?

No. That has indeed happened. It was a work by Alyssa Rosenzweig [0].

If I understand correctly, she implemented the userspace Mesa driver. The kernel driver is being developed by Asahi Lina. Together, they are meant to provide "full open source graphics stack for 3D acceleration on Asahi Linux" [1].

I got extremely burnt out at a FAANG. Then looked at my life and realized I've been missing a lot of things. No wife or kids, overweight, not many friends, only thinking about work. When I finished work I was usually too tired ti do anything. So I quit. I have enough saved up to semi-retire but without a family it'll just be a long boring vacation.
But in the same way it's even somewhat rude if e.g. a billionaire says they don't have money to buy something (assuming it's fairly cheap). It makes a difference whether they say that they don't have money or that they don't want to spend it. And the whole point of the comment was to say that it is often NOT someone not being able to afford it time-wise.

The "post-Washingtion consensus" is too fragmented to have any real coordinated actions. BRICS is not some united force willing to work together. BRICS was meant for economies of similar scale to work together. China is already more than three times the size of the other 4 combined.The only thing that aligns all 5 now is generally anti-americanism which isn't much of a unifying force. China and India continue to worsen ties and Russia has become a bit of a pariah. Brazil and South Africa are too far apart from the rest for any meaningful cooperation.

Totally agree with Redshift sentiments. It's been lovely seeing BigQuery and Redshift step their game up over the past 1.5yrs, because they really should have been doing certain things for many years prior.

Re: Firebolt, I don't consider it to be in the same class as Snowflake whatsoever (even though their advertising seems to indicate otherwise). Snowflake is like a very powerful swiss army knife. Firebolt is good for a very specific (dare I say niche?) workload but falls all over itself for the vast majority of data org needs.
You acknowledge that Vulkan is too low level for people who aren't investing billions into an AAA graphics engine. And you surely know that OpenGL and Vulkan are the only two cross-platform graphics APIs. Are you sure you can't infer why people like OpenGL from those two points? Especially in Linux-heavy communities where DX and Metal aren't even options?

I assure you, none of the "love" for OpenGL comes from the elegance of its design.

Perhaps that's somewhat true for famous people, although there are plenty of examples of false stories (without any forged evidence, literally just stories) causing real embarrassment and damage to reputation.

Guard band clipping is only really applicable to "edge function" type rasterizers. For the classic scanline-based algorithm, sure, you can easily clip to the right and bottom edges of the viewport while rasterizing, but the top and left edges are trickier. Clipping in clip space, before rasterization, is more straightforward, given that you have to frustum cull primitives anyway.
