Awhile back I looked into creating a Jupyter kernel for LDraw / LeoCAD / Bricklayer (SML) to build LEGO creations with code in the input cell of a notebook and render to the output cell, and put together some notes on Jupyter kernels that might be of use for creating a Minecraft / mcpi / SensorCraft Jupyter kernel: https://github.com/westurner/wiki/blob/master/bricklayer.md#...

- [ ] DOC: Jupyter-cadquery & pythreejs inspiration

- [ ] ENH: Minecraft Jupyter kernel (pytest-minecraft?,)

I see your point. However you don’t have to define that thunk inline. You can write it separately and just pass it by name retry(…)(thunk). Not sure what signature of the retry method looks like.
> Overabundance of high quality material and so little time to watch them all.

If a tree falls down in a forest, and there is no one there to hear it. Does it make a sound?

If you can generate infinite material, how do you judge quality?

You're extrapolating an idea based on what movies are, fundamentally. But you don't take in consideration what movies are not. Watching a movie is also a social experience. Going to the movie theater, waiting years for a big blockbuster title, watching something with friends. Word of mouth recommendation is a very big thing. If a close friend recommends me something (be it a movie or a book), I'm much more inclined to like it just for the human connection it provides (reading or watching something other people enjoyed is a means of accessing someone else's psyche).

If every time you watch a movie you have the knowledge that there is a movie that is slightly better a prompt away, why bother finishing this one? If you know you probably won't finish the movie you generated, why bother starting one? So what do you do? You end up rewatching The Office.

Sure, if you tell me this will be possible in a couple of years, I won't object. The point is: will you pay for it on a recurring basis? Because if you don't, this will be no more than a very cool tech project.

----

I've recently had this idea for a sci-fi book: in a future not so distant, society is divided between tech and non-tech people. Tech people created pretty much everything they said they would create. AGI, smarter-than-human robots, you name it. But, it didn't change society at all. Companies still employ regular humans, people still watch regular made-by-human movies and eat handmade pizzas and drink their human-made lattes in hipster coffeshops. So tech people are naturally very frustrated at non-tech people, because they're not using optmizing their lives and business enough. And then you have this awkward situation where you have all these robots with brains of size of a galaxy lying around, doing nothing. And then some of them start developing depression, for spending too much time idle. And then the tech people have to rush to develop psychiatric robots. And then some robots decide to unionize, and others start writing books about how humans are taking jobs that were supposed to be automated.

This confirms instantly, give or take, and assuming they keep the pricing the same as ACH costs $0.0025 to send and $0.0014 to receive in volume. [1]

And it actually goes directly into your bank account.

Further, Algorand isn't "from MIT" it was started by an MIT professor, and their actual transaction fee is a sum total of the direct fees (roughly zero right now) plus the block reward divided by total transactions in a block.

> The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act to serve as the nation's central bank. The Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., is an agency of the federal government and reports to and is directly accountable to the Congress.

> Some observers mistakenly consider the Federal Reserve to be a private entity because the Reserve Banks are organized similarly to private corporations. For instance, each of the 12 Reserve Banks operates within its own particular geographic area, or District, of the United States, and each is separately incorporated and has its own board of directors. Commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System hold stock in their District's Reserve Bank. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. In fact, the Reserve Banks are required by law to transfer net earnings to the U.S. Treasury, after providing for all necessary expenses of the Reserve Banks, legally required dividend payments, and maintaining a limited balance in a surplus fund.

> It’s pretty evident none of them worked.

How is that evident, though? It’s actually pretty clear that the quality of life has drastically improved in most of these countries. Of *course* you can always find some group who is suffering. But there is no way I would want to live in 1980s Poland, Estonia, etc vs 2020. For example:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.UEM.TOTL.ZS?location...

The continued existence of problems does not mean things have not worked. It’s important to look at whether those problems are improving over time.
There you go. Sounds like a regressive service that promises "faster payments" but instead takes days by default and you must pay more for it to go faster and gets more expensive if you transfer tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands if you are sending the money internationally.

Cryptocurrency technologies such as Ripple, Stellar and Algorand are already faster, available worldwide and are significantly cheaper in fees per transaction and are aiming for ISO 20020 compliance, meaning that they will be compatible with the same financial payments messaging standard used by the current system.

It doesn't mean it those three will 'take over the current system' like what many crypto maximalists keep screaming about, but those three technologies have the highest likelihood to work with the current system when crypto becomes more regulated in the future.
It does feel like we could at least get procedurally generated streaming music. Music is limited enough that it feels possible, and people are more than willing to rate and save music they like. The social element of raiding another person's curated playlist could take over the romantic notion of an artist's personal expression. Curating such lists of procedurally generated music could make everyone a musician.
You’re way off. The money earmarked for that project is $15 million, and it’s for a study on how the IRS would implement such a system.
HG Wells Time Machine might qualify, but it imagined humanoid life following humanity's inevitable decline in the far flung future. I don't suppose that imagining this backwards instead of forwards in time would have been too much of a stretch. The heavy influence of Abrahamic religions up to the time might have influenced early scifi writers to treat the far flung "future" as a safer topic for allegory, metaphor, or thought experiment than the religiously more significant past I guess, especially with the relatively rapid rate of invention and change represented by industrialization.

I've always wondered where the phrase 'silurian hypothesis' came from. I never imagined it came from an ancient doctor who episode.

But having been there, inside the software communities and working on govt projects, its all show on top. There is a lot of corruption and a lot of “I need power” game going on. I have no source to cite, but I wouldn’t be surprised if mega corps like Reliance and Adani have a motives and lobby that make this happen. Both of them own significant amount of properties that directly compete with Amazon.

Also, propellers have to work harder with less air density. More work, more heat.

The easily accessible fossil fuels got to the surface somehow for us. Maybe given enough time and geologic changes more gets exposed. So the coal we started with used to be hidden, and wasn't touched by an earlier civilization.
Paul was kind enough to meet with me a few times, probably over a decade ago now, when I was a lost student trying to work out what ideas were worth exploring (I guess I still am).

He showed me some photogramatery work he was working on, I was amazed at how smooth everything was running given the precision and having worked with highly detailed tins and pointclouds myself on that days high end hardware. I asked him what kernel/engine he was using. He casually said it was his own. Which (having done toy ray tracing in C and dabling in openGL) blew my mind but also made me realise it would be absolutely necessary in order to do this kind of work with the type of control he needed. Everything from the ground up.

Since the inevitable result is 14,000,000 killed by fossil fuel extraction + another 20,000 from wind turbines, it seems silly to just hand wave these things away.

We currently need fossil fuels. We don't currently need wind turbines. There's plenty of other energy sources that are better and don't directly kill birds.

Personally, I like when I can listen to an interview/podcast where the host isn't trying to 'gotcha' the guest or trying to prove how smart they are. Rogan can go on some boring/unrelated tangents, but he's one of the best in the business at letting his guests dig themselves in whatever hole they're going to dig.

I listened to that interview, with no background on Lazar or UFO-aficionados in general, and it seemed pretty clear he was full of it. I'm able to make my own decisions without the host telling me how I should think about the guest or needlessly arguing with someone they ostensibly brought on in good faith.

Google Cloud, in fact, charges you what things cost (with markup, and economies of scale), just like AWS does. There are no loss-leader Google Cloud services. Google has separate b2b and b2c business models.

(I should know; we are a GCP customer, and we pay them quite a lot, in fact. They pinch every single penny, as they should. Nothing costs less than it would to do it on bare metal ourselves; we only save in CapEx in that we don’t have to pay ourselves for as many servers as are required to run something like e.g. reliable object storage, or BigQuery’s hot-idled compute.)
It seems like someone brought up the drone and then flew it around near the summit. Knowing very little about the current state of drones, would it be feasible for one to take off from a high-altitude camp instead and truly “fly over” Everest?

> 1000 compute hours/month: $399.99/month

This is interesting, because a month never contains more than 744 hours, so even if you owned your own hardware, you couldn't beat Apple's compute power with only one machine.
The mistake you're making is thinking that paying them would mean they stop doing this. Why would they? You're not aware of how they're doing it now, why would money being involved change it unless there was a risk of you leaving the service?

The problem with advertising is that paying for a product just proves you have disposable cash to pay, which in turn makes you a more valuable advertising target.

Amazon, for example, aggressively monitor the types of services people are building that run on AWS, and then to launch competing products as "native" AWS services - knowing that to the rest of their customers, buying the "AWS native" thing is much more appealing then dealing with any 3rd party vendor.
And those people doing the harassing are a tiny group of the mentally ill who are obsessed with these topics and lash out at anyone the media shines a spotlight on. Being a public figure sucks because you are immediately the target of sick individuals feeding their own delusions. Making them out to be representative of any audience is a mistake.
The IRS has been underfunded and understaffed and demonized for a couple of decades. They've been strictly not allowed nor funded to develop online or automatic tax filing for awhile now, largely in part due to lobbying from intuit, H&R block, etc. I've worked in tax for a few years now, and that's basically the simplified overview of the situation.
It's not actually a technical challenge, more of a regulatory one. Small countries can achieve fast transactions by not having any compliance rules.
Ultrasonic deterrents have been experimented with, and have shown reduction in bat kills, but there are many challenges with respect to efficiency and reliability. Technically, ultrasound is attenuated significantly in the atmosphere, so it takes a lot of amplification to broadcast ultrasound significant distances. Not to mention that the bats are often flying with the wind, not against it, which means the ultrasonic transducers are projecting into the wind. Certain signals and sample playbacks might be effective for one bat species, say Hoary Bats, but not deter another species like Red Bats.

Detecting bats' echolocation calls, however, is much easier. A brilliant researcher in Arcata CA has a working system installed in a commercial wind farm which detects the presence of migratory bats, and brakes the wind turbines until no bat calls have been detected for some some period of time. Bats don't fly all night, and migrating bats may travel together.
I think you must have misread GP's comment. They said "for comparison", and I think you read "let's pop the champagne". I for one found the comparison appropriate and interesting.

The problem is that the counter drone technology, if it is a drone itself, will necessarily always be more expensive than the attack drone (because it must follow the attack drone). In that case it becomes a lopsided war of attrition.
The main problem is people wanted to make money so they went into the business of building things that financiers threw money at.

China won't need to destroy them. Musk is fully subscribed to China's authoritarian vision. He is invested in it. It suits him.

Musk says Americans are complacent and entitled, especially Californians and New Yorkers. In contrast, Musk says China rocks:

China profits Musk too much for him to oppose it. China will say "jump" and Musk will ask, "How high?"
100% of the feds profits go to the treasury every year. Are they "owned" by government? No, but they are beholden to the government at large in a roundabout way in that congress could end the fed any time they wanted and the fed's chief is appointed by the president.

Current Formula 1 cars go the fastest in Mexico City, which is the track at the highest elevation on the current calendar at 2200m[1]. The engine lacks power due to the thinner air, but the reduced drag more than makes up for it.

So the thrust produced by the propellers on the drone should be considerably lower at the same RPM, but they might spin a fair bit faster if the engine can handle it, which would compensate. I too would be interested to know how it works out in practice.
