Modern day activism tunnel visions on "raising awareness" which why we end up with so much virtue signaling and doomposting rather than substantial action.

Look at Montgomery bus boycott. Everyone remembers Rosa Parks, but in reality the boycott required coordination of tens of thousands of individuals doing mundane work. You had taxi drivers willing to drive people at break even prices. You had dispatchers to coordinate carpooling. You had people willing to walk several miles a day in the Alabama sun just to deprive the bus system out of a few cents. All this effort was expended for the relatively minor problem of segregation on buses. However, this paved the way for more substantial forms of change. Imagine how much quicker we would reduce greenhouse gas emissions if we put a similar level of effort.
I value the small amount of retail in my little downtown main street. There is a reasonably sized ace hardware within 5 minutes walk, and I'm there almost every week to pick up lightbulbs, screws, etc. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's so much more convenient than driving to a big box store, finding parking, walking through 20 isles. Sure, it doesn't have whiteware or a lumber yard, but I'll sorely miss it if it ever closes. Same thing with the office supply store. Most tech stuff they have is the same price as amazon, and they offer great printing services.
This refutes your claims

The amount of supply depends on amount of wind turbines built, not the amount we have space for. We have space for a lot more than we've built so far.

Deep Learning Systems: Algorithms and Implementation
I think if you dig into the latest research you would find that AI is much closer to what you’re imagining than you think.

One of the lessons from DALL-E and latent diffusion is that problems can often be decomposed into a “semantic” space and a “textural” space loosely corresponding to what we consider layers of abstraction.
They are probably right about the optics. Who would want to take, say, craft classes inside a dying building symbolizing the cons of modern life.
No it hasn't. There wasn't a specific grevience listed so you really dont know if European regulations have solved it or not. I'm an American but have spent years living in Europe and dealing with carriers there has its own frustrations.

These sorts of comments are common but always strike me as having been made by someone with little to no real world experience on the specific issue being discussed.
> machine language translation hasn't put human translators out of work yet?

It's not clear if machine language translation may have:

- Increased "demand" for translation by reducing the price of "basic" translation.
- Increased overall globalization -- I use machine translation to communicate with contract manufacturers in China, whereas without it I might avoid using contract manufacturers in China.
- Due to increased globalization, increased demand for occasional "advanced" translation via professional translators or bilingual.

So perhaps it does greatly decrease or eliminate the large slice of the pie which reflects translation jobs that would exist at the low end while simultaneously greatly increasing the overall size of the pie.
This is why I have no social media accounts. No one knows what I am up to. No one knows where I have been. No one can find me.

at this point it seems like the folks building supercomputers for DoE and the folks building TPUs for Google should be talking. Both sides have interesting technology, but the communities are too far apart. Modern ML training is basically very similar to supercomputing that I think by working together, DeepMind could make better use of an exascale supercomputer than most scientists running simulations. Some of the network innovations in TPUv4 could be used in supercomputers.

MemLab: An open source framework for finding JavaScript memory leaks
Using a Raspberry Pi is very wasteful in the first place.

If it's powered from USB, it doesn't really matter, but if you want to power it from batteries (especially something like AAA NiMH batteries) so that you can easily hang it on a wall somewhere and make it last a month or so (refresh every 10-15 minutes maybe), you pretty much have to use something much more low power (like an ESP8266, ESP32, etc.).

Having pre-stored pictures is also unnecessary, just generate them on the fly. Unless generating the picture takes a long time (e.g. having to contact a lot of slow external services), you can just draw it on the server in memory with each request.

In the same request, the device can also send its battery voltage to the server, where you can collect it as metrics.
If you just want a beautiful or intriguing image to look at, an AI-generated image may happen to satisfy that need very well.

The same need can be satisfied with a photo of some natural things, e.g. living beings or minerals or places.

In both cases there is no human to whom one could attribute any artistic merit for the content of the images.

Whether an image is beautiful or not is not necessarily correlated with the involvement of a human in its creation, but its origin should nevertheless always be made clear.

Disagree [0]. Name one major email provider that doesn't have bruteforce protection.

This is a silly circular argument anyway. You're just upset that I'd have the gall to suggest that you use online banking to someone who lives in a rural town in Iowa. Instead, you keep pontificating on the level of security between email and sms... while at the same time, being perfectly ok with using a bank that only offers sms 2fa. Facepalm.

At the end of the day, neither matter... your funds get stolen from simjacking because a bank only offers that as protection? Read this [1]... max loss is $500 and more likely $0. This is bike shedding a moot issue. 2fa is more relevant for other issues.

Have a nice day, sir.

> However, they often fail to see that it is an even better business move to still shut down production and sell those raw materials onwards to someone else who will pay handsomely for them.

There's also business value in being the washing machine company that didn't have to shut down production. If I'm building a lot of housing with washing machines, maybe I just wait and buy whatever just in time, but maybe I want to do a bulk buy direct from the manufacturer with delivery on a schedule; having a track record of continuing production during supply shortages makes it more likely that the deliveries will happen. If production is stopped whenever it's better to resale materials, it's hard for buyers to rely on scheduled deliveries and those buyers will turn to others.

The more common option is not to do that, and accept that in the rare cases of a timezone change, there's nothing you can do from software.

Either way, the only completely fool-proof way to make sure you never return the wrong time is to ask not for a timezone, but for GPS coordinates, and preferably some extra cultural information - since the timezone of a particular location may change completely, and that change may only be recognized by certain entities.

For example, when Russia annexed Crimeea, they could have changed the timezone (I believe they didn't, but they could have), but more nationalistic Ukrainians in Crimeea would have probably not recognized the timezone change. So, if someone had set an event for some time in the future and chose Ukraine's timezone, they may not have gotten the right reminder if the event was public (so presumably forced by Russian authorities to respect the new timezone), since you couldn't know they meant to watch something in Crimeea.

To be clear, I'm arguing it's not worth trying to solve this problem in a fool-proof way in software, not that I expect software to help in situations like the above.
Look at the CO2 chart in the link above, China only recently became the biggest emitter and even then they make up maybe a quarter of CO2 emissions.

The vast majority of emissions and environmental destruction has been done by the global north, only recently has the rest of the world started to become the majority in this sense. You can’t just point the finger and forget all of history up to this point.

The comic? That's not how I read it. To me it's exactly that you have all the pieces, all the steps, but still find it completely unreasonable that it works.

> the only actual problem is the expectation that something you can describe fairly simply ought to have a proof that doesn't require any calculation.

No, to me it's not like that. It's easy to explain that the "angle" of a graph of ln x is 1/x, but after you've explained calculus to someone, and they understand it, they will NOT say "but why?".

I'm also not sure why anyone would expect a proof of a math trick to not involve math or calculation.
It's the location. San Ramon is a great town. Stick that same mall in Modesto, CA and it would be something else entirely.
We're talking about optimizations that JIT can do compared to AOT.

The link you shared talks about skipping compilation for certain branches to speed up the JIT compilation. Such optimization makes startup faster, but it doesn't make code execution faster. AOT compiled languages don't have slow startup problem in the first place.

Continue to attend team practices and events if practical as it will keep you connected to your mates.

As a word of encouragement, one of the best players I have ever coached tore her ACL and came back stronger and had her best season 10 months later.

Good luck with your recovery.
Its also incredibly condescending having them tell me I shouldn't format my message as HTML when the message they're using to tell me that is an HTML formatted message.

If plain text was more than acceptable to get the point across, this page wouldn't use HTML. Instead, they have an inline image, they have multiple font weights, anchor tags, inline styles, chosen fonts, changes in colors, hyperlinks, bulleted lists, etc.
People consume art for different reasons. It can be like a spiritual experience, or an investment, or something to brighten up your life. It can have a story attached to it or be inspirational. My guess is that different people will have different reactions to machine made art. And most of the art community will carry on perfectly happily as if nothing has changed.

I'm not an expert in cross-continent interconnects, I have no idea what cables are being used there. I'd imagine that a lot of the backbone of the internet is fiber because that's what all the SRE memes say about wandering backhoes and sharks being the primary predator of fiber optic cables.
Undervolting actually let me over clock my 3070 higher, presumably due to extra thermal headroom? I noticed two peaks in the timespy results and undrrvolting moved me between them, so this must be pretty well known.
I simply asked if you had used any modern VR sets and you have started accusing me of 'personally attacking you'.

Nearly all VR insights came from those who never actually used it, namely because it didn't exist yet.

Everything gets invented by people who've never used it. But VR is an explicitly experiential medium. Again, I think in a VR discussion its perfectly fine to ask if someone has used it.

I have an Oculus Quest 2 (for my sins), when I first used it I was blown away although I find myself not bothering with it much now, there doesnt seem to be much to draw me back there, which makes me think Meta are heading for trouble. But thats an aside.

I'm confused about your argument and I think perhaps by proprioception you mean something different to what I'm thinking?

Because my experience with the Quest is that the device knows exactly where my hands are, their exact orientation and even what my fingers are doing. And it puts a lot of effort into making my 'hands' part of the experience by showing them to me in VR. This to me seems to be leaning heavily on my innate sense of proprioception to maintain the VR illusion. True, it doesn't know where the rest of me is. But the hands are the most important part, hence it seems that within the confines of what is economically feasible (eg hand tracking but not leg tracking), the developers of the Quest have spent a lot of effort on proprioception.

But you maintain that VR developers are entirely unaware of proprioception. So I think you are talking about proprioception in a deeper sense? Or in a sense that has not occurred to me? I'd be interested to know exactly what you mean.
Sick burn, man you really destroyed my argument with that one sentence.

I know that. But I've seen this tech evolve now for 40 years, and I am confident that that's where it's headed.
Their personal preferences don't matter that much. Even if these administrators are true believers in what they say and not just following the political winds, they're only going to be appointed if it's politically expedient for someone with that stance to be in that position.

So the political determiner is not that Linda Khan doesn't like Amazon, but the politically favourable thing for the Democratic party is to have someone poking big tech * . This makes sense too - it courts people on the economic left who see big tech driving inequality in tech cities, it courts people concerned with privacy, it even courts some folks on the moderate right who see big tech as an enemy because of censorship.

* And it is just big tech - you don't see the same rhetoric in other industries at the moment. For example Disney's ownership of Marvel, lucasfilm, Pixar, 20thC Fox, HBO, ABC, ESPN is approaching monopolistic but nobody is proposing blocking new acquisitions let alone breaking it up.
> we likely will need hydrogen technology for that (I don't think anyone knows how to do metal manufacturing with electricity directly)

As far as I know, indeed, we can't use electricity directly. But it's not just heavy industries like steel that need high heat: also general building heating, transportation (any mode), mining, everything needs to become zero carbon. Hydrogen allows us to transition some industries that can't use electricity directly as far as I know, but that extra step just introduces another efficiency into the system. Even at 1:1 (win some on building heating and mass transport, lose some on e.g. hydrogen conversions), it seems to me like a tough challenge to be self sufficient and climate neutral in western Europe. Gonna need every angle we can get.
I thought of a better way to phrase it. The website itself is fast, but the process of you observing the website is slow because of limitations of the speed of light (or other interconnects the internet uses to get your traffic to Helsinki).
It seems like the actual problem they're trying to solve is volume, so why not just rate limit submissions? They just need to look at their median submission rate prior to a few weeks ago and then make that the submission rate limit.
It is an amusing clash of trying to make semantic markup that is both describing the interface and describing the data in the document at the same time. And generally gets everyone yelling/focusing on different parts.
Something to note about leader-types and recluse-types: the recluse-types very rarely if ever have influence over the broader org, and if they do, only in limited critical circumstances unique to them (often in the enablement of critical leader-types).

I think this is critical to note because an additional complaint by many senior engineers I know of is that they don't have enough influence when managers make dumb decisions or their opinions about the direction of the product aren't valued more than less-experienced product people. That is to say, I don't think the deliniation between IC and Manager work in practice because the influence of even a lower-level manager will often supercede an experienced IC, much to IC chagrin, except ICs also don't want to be in all the meetings managers are in where such influence is exerted.

I know. I am entertaining the OP's exercise in how one might make a thinner device. CR2032s are more than 4 times as thick as a credit card, even without a socket or a housing.

The thinnest commonly available coin cells are 1.2mm thick, which is better, but still will require a creative interpretation of "credit card size".

An ISO credit card is 0.76mm thick.
While I agree with where humans should be putting their minds to solving cancer and the energy problems facing us currently.

The problem of "unlimited energy generator" of the sun is that on the ground it is intermitted based on day/night and clouds, meaning we would have to create a surplus of energy during the day and store it for later use. We have been working on batteries, but there has been promise at using air or water "batteries" as well via compressed air or Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH).

I would highly recommend reading both Bill Gates's How to Avoid a Climate Disaster and Vaclav Smil's How the World Really Works, both of which have really shown what needs to happen to solve both our climate and energy problems going forward.
One thing that I think is very difficult to do in your position is to determine what benefits others and what does not. However, I think you're wrong here to be trying to defend this as 'correct', because it's not—or at least the spec doesn't support what you're doing. You should be proudly saying 'this is what I can build out of the most basic building blocks available in HTML. It's as semantic as possible, but there are some tweaks needed to enable particular high value features'.

Ultimately a lot of the modern web trends don't fit perfectly into the HTML5 syntax, and cards particularly are one. They're not 'articles' because they're not 'complete, or self-contained, composition[s]'. They're not 'asides' because they're not 'tangentially related' - although callout boxes I agree are. They could potentially be considered 'sections' although I'm not sure you would list individual cards explicitly in a document's outline - plus from a technical perspective how do you differentiate a 'section' card from any other type of section.

I think it's important to understand that there's no way to make everyone happy here, and there simply isn't a good semantic way to create cards using the tags that exist. I think in most cases, cards are a presentation of an item of sorts (perhaps even a 'list' item?) but HTML doesn't have a simple 'item' tag, and the spec warns that although headings are valid inside li tags, it's probably not correct semantically.

Key is, there will be some people this helps. There will be some it doesn't. For every (completely valid) concern that people (including myself) are raising, the only fix is to add more complexity, which makes it less easy to use.

FWIW, I think you've done a great job building something usable and useful, thank you.
>Assuming a five-year lifetime shows a lack of knowledge of how the product is typically used.

a five-year lifetime is is business decision balancing customer expectations and maintenance cost (including keeps a hardware stock of these routers in each continent, sometime even in country for specific countries, keep development alive, etc.).

You may say they underestimate the willingness of their customer to buy a new router after 5 years, but they definitely know that a huge proportion of their customers are running woefully out-of-date and unsupported hardware/software.

Same for all on-prem vendors and a major reason why moving customers to cloud is so appealing for so many vendors.
