> These computer platforms are drastically inefficient on a flop / $ basis. They exist to funnel money into the pockets of the companies who assemble them. They never ever achieve even a tiny fraction of their peak rated flops on any calculation that has any scientific meaning.

Well... yeah.

Because these supercomputers also need communication networks so that they can actually work on such a large problem together. So any "large computer" is going to be slower than any "small personal computer" because communication costs grow with the size of a computer.

A computer with 1-million cores needs more than 1-million times the communication than a computer with 1-core. That's just the innate issues of complexity theory, Ahmdal's law, and other such fundamental compute problems.

---------

But the "small personal computer" is *impossible* to work on a larger problem. The "small computer" doesn't even have enough RAM to even hold a problem that these supercomputers work on, let alone the time/energy needed to finish the problem within 2 months.

---------

At a minimum, supercomputers are needed to solve and verify the models of the next-generation of computers. Its not like these chips with 8-billion transistors in them are correct on their first design. The design is iterated upon, simulated, and verified before hardware is made. These simulation steps happen on a computer, and a rather large one at that.
> It came after a poll of 4.6 million EU citizens showed strong support for scrapping it.

A poll where something like 2/3rds of the responses came from Germany (where somehow that topic had become a particularly hot issue), even though it only accounted for approximately 1/6th of the EU population pre-Brexit.

Nice! How about a chapter on ray-tracing?
I'm lately finding it hard to convince myself that there is a not a global conspiracy among large corporations to implement the "you will own nothing" directive by means of a ratcheting system.

One big company rolls out an anti-consumer, anti-ownership, anti-freedom policy. People get annoyed and some small subset of customers leave, while the rest maybe grumble but stay. Then the next-biggest companies see that the big player is still doing fine with their anti-consumer policy, so they get a little greedy and start doing it too. Then all of a sudden it's a new industry standard, and consumers who value their own freedom find themselves rapidly running out of alternatives.

Maybe if outcry gets really bad, the big corp need to roll back the decision, and either wait for a different opportunity, or let another corporation take the lead, or change the type of policy to be more subtle.

My personal system for evaluating a conspiracy theory is: 1) how big is the payoff? 2) how hard is it to execute? 3) how hard is it to keep secret? 4) how many people need to be involved?

This scenario passes all 4 criteria with flying colors. 1) The payoff is absolutely enormous. 2) It would be relatively easy for the same people who would be most strongly motivated to do this. 3) It should be easy set up a communication system that maintains almost total plausible deniability against collusion, because it actually only requires minimal knowledge of and cooperation between participants and their plans. Just a few meetings among subgroups of participants, and more head nods than spoken words. During the process, active communication can be reduced to basically zero. 4) Very few. Most corporate decision makers at most companies wouldn't have to know, they'll be able to see where things are headed and follow along. In general, the only holdouts will be HN poster types with small businesses that serve only tiny fractions of the market.
They shouldn't be expected to update these for as long as they're useful. They should be required to open up the hardware if they refuse to update the software. That should be the rule: you get to pretend that locking people out of the hardware is for their own good as long as you continue to update their software for free. You can't just be allowed to arbitrarily EOL perfectly functional hardware.
You mean apart from the fact that it's a hook-up app, unlike Hinge
A great dating app logic would be to limit the number of matches you have, forcing you to unmatch when you reach your limit.

That would make users match more carefully and actually engage (or not) with existing matches.

Would also make the pool healthier.
I was just kidding around folks: obviously TLS is the right default.

Incidentally you can bet your ass that someone at YC has a model of their amortized differential deal flow per page view and that they work harder at keeping it up-to-date than the RustHN discord channel where they call in the Team.

So troll-ass threads like this are pure free-ride.
The usage of "xor" as "sum modulo 2" is correct if you interpret it as composition of two-argument operators like a^b^c == a^(b^c). It's much easier to use infix notation with associative operators, so that is likely why the "sum mod 2" interpretation won.

The "real xor of >2 arguments" is more useful with a notation like exactly_one(a,b,c).
There are some nuances to this law - you can take peoples photos if they are in the way of your landscape/panorama/something else you are attempting to photograph.

You need their permission to publish it, however.

I personally don't agree with the Spaniards on this position. Its also illegal to photograph police in Spain - this is not a law I agree with one bit. Public officials should be public, always.

You mean spending over 10 years importing 15 TWh a year extra because surely next year this reactor will be ready?

Also remember that it produces power at around €100/MWh if you include the loss Areva took. Any year but this year and that cost is laughably high.
Yes, I'm sure there's non-zero amount of people who get lots of benefits. And you're likely aware how lucky you are. The point was: it's not common and not required at state/federal level.
Not feeling offended by pornography titles like "i was raped ..." is quiet hard, honestly.

The young men I know who prefer stable relationships are not using Tinder for that, as the podcast in this article says. There are non-Tinder and non-app options that are more geared toward that.

The bisect might be easier to do, but it's vastly less useful if you're looking for why and not what since the commits are not actually the authors originals and the state of the project you find is not the state the author authored them within.

I mean, sure. But your critical path of CSS is never going to mean the whole page (unless it's a very short page). And skeleton components is objectively a completely different thing. Having definitions, even if "arbitrary," are important.

Or get 3-4x as much bang for the buck building renewables.

The two data points that determine the market price in nord pool right now is the gas price and transmission costs. The revenue that renewable power plant owners get is determined through those mechanism rather than by what production cost those renewable plant owner has. As the economist here has reported in the news, more renewable energy doesn't translate to lower prices at this point in time.

EU are considering capping the price roof in order to address this so that energy prices start to match that of production costs. The European grid also need overproduction if we are to have market forces driving down prices, and you need large and effective transmission lines in order to distribute the renewable energy without bottlenecks. We also need to have reduction in energy usage when renewable energy production is low, and we need to reduce the dependency on the quite aged hydro power installations in the northern parts of Europe. The water reserves at those hydroelectric stations is also in a historically low levels, likely caused by a combination of climate change and poor management.

We need more of everything if we are to disconnect the Russian gas from European energy market.
Your dev environment is so resource constrained that the size of the repo is a factor?

I didn't spend time looking for specific features, as much as pointing out the standard is to be extremely hand wrangled and therefore prone to such issues. I have no idea if this sort of nonsense (this is an official Automattic plugin) is going to work in SQLite:

https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/2447e267e40f2d133...

But certainly creating a new table with ENGINE= which you can also find in that file isn't likely to work as intended on other platforms.
> I mean, isn't it quite reasonable to not update something post-EOL?

EOL isn't real, it's made up. Broken or not powerful enough anymore is real. The town crier could decide to blow a trumpet and proclaim "EOL" a week after the last one is sold.
A few years of everyone becoming addicted to smartphones and feeds, a narrowing field of when/where it's ok to flirt without serious risk, ubiquitous porn, cities that continually lose safe public spaces and late opening hours where young people can meet, crazy high prices and expectations in school & work, widespread dystopian visions of a future that's even poorer and heading to climate collapse. Throw in a pandemic and 2 years of lockdowns and remote only work so there's even less ways to meet people.

Ya this shit is a total mystery huh I wonder why the 20somethings aren't fucking. We can write 500000 blog posts and articles analyzing any given problem but can't actually solve a single one.
For us only the original authors squash and tidy up their own commits so they can add as much context as they want.

That's not to say each PR is one commit, if there are multiple distinct parts of a PR that could be cherry picked in a way that they make sense on their own they'd still be separate commits.
If anything the opposite. The goal is to return to a web before facial verification was required to create accounts and before everyone knew you were a dog.
Do you count using a cloud provider as hosting your own?

The most basic pipeline for doing it is going to look something like this:

1) Upload the original video to a storage bucket.

2) Have some compute service transcode the video file to create other renditions.

3) Store those renditions in a different storage bucket.

4) Put a CDN service in front of the transcoded renditions.

Get ready for a nice bandwidth bill if anyone actually watches your videos!

The UK is solving that problem by putting most of the turbines in the sea. Seems to be working well so far.

The next moment is generated entirely by chance. A very small probability. Also it could have been generated even before you spilled your coffee but you wouldn’t know that as you only have your memories as a reference. It’s like creating a movie by just putting down random pixels and eventually you get an actual frame from the movie. Repeat until the movie has been seen entirely.

Areva footed the bill for the overruns this time rather than foisting them on the taxpayer, so that's something at least.
Funny, I see math as a tool to overcome our shortcomings. Most fundamental concepts like spacetime or quantum mechanics are absolutely mind bending and our limited brains are hopeless at understanding them. Math enables us to break down and translate hugely complex phenomena into things we can understand.
It is fascinating that it is now able to continue both piano and speech coherently. At least for a while, it is indistinguishable to me (in the examples) to what a human would do.

Maybe our economic systems have to be rethought? A tree is worth more dead than alive..... European economies have been accumulating wealth for centuries through colonization and exploitation of humans lifetimes... in the end what do you have? inflated real estate prices, overly mechanized agriculture producing basic junk foodstuffs, increasingly authoritarian political policies designed to restrict or bore people from contributing to civil society... this is leading to an existential crisis ....

A striking fact for me is that we found historical evidences of the mathematical concept parabola 3d or 4th century BC:

One thing I don't think gets enough discussion is how bad apps like Tinder are for men's sense of self-worth. The larger percentage of men on these apps combined with the fast swipe setup turns it into a complete meat market where a lot of men can very quickly think that women don't want them.
As someone who barely survived attempted suicide 10 years ago, I completely disagree.
Networking hardware has a very long life.

At a previous company, we used in the office as the center of the LAN a switch (Cisco Catalyst 3548 XL) which was already past EOL. In fact, it was so long past EOL that the switch model which replaced that model was also already past EOL. And yet, it worked perfectly (other than a couple of failed ports), and we probably used less than a tenth of its capabilities. I wouldn't be surprised if that same switch is still working today; the main reason to replace it would be that it only has Fast Ethernet (100baseTX), instead of the current mainstream default of Gigabit Ethernet (1000baseT).
I've had mixed experiences with OKC. On one hand it got me a handful of dates while I was looking locally in the states. On the other hand, I moved to Iceland and their international search options go from "Everyone within 500 miles" to "The entire world, with no ability to filter by country" and those options just don't work in Iceland (unless you match with someone in Reykjavik, maybe).

TBF, I did still connect with a couple people even with those options, but that's more because I pulled the slot machine lever enough than a credit to them. I wish they had better international options, even if they were locked behind the paid tier.

IIRC eHarmony didn't work either because it didn't even acknowledge Iceland as a place you could be, so I guess OKC has that leg up on them at least.
Lol a race to the bottom as usual with someone who is hooked on western main stream media e.g: "Russians are in mass retreat" - this is comical. People like you see no nuance, I am against the war in the first instance. A more realistic understanding of geopolitics could and should have avoided this war but that day has long since passed.

Yes i am diminishing the "support" provided by the west, as op mentioned if the west was so determined to stand with Ukraine then they should be putting soldiers on the ground. People like you couldn't careless, your "support" will just add fuel to the fire of an already burning Ukraine.

I'll go further, the wests support is actually tantamount to warmongering (but thats par for the course).
When I have been doing analysis work I typically create a suite of command line programs to do that work with. Systems like nom and maven lock me in a prison because they are dependent on the directory I am in…. They take away the ability to cd to an arbitrary directory and run my command line programs.

I can’t see why people want to take the X out of Unix like that, maybe they remember using CP/M and never really figured out cd and mkdir and they want to bring us all to their level.

With a .venv however the program suite I am running and directory I am are decoupled and I can breathe free.
There are a lot of things which make Fossil attractive for solo and small developers.

An example would be the excellent diffing tools accessible through localhost, as well as things like issue tracking, which git doesn't understand as a concept.

They haven't tried that with all means available to them, and the means aren't nukes. As the recent events show, Russia could put Ukraine into a total energy blackout [1][2] if they decided to pursuit this strategy of waging the war. This would be the same strategy that was used by the US military in past conflicts [3], and it implies significantly more civilian casualties in a long run.
