Naive utopian solution: Distribute a fixed amount of energy credits equally among the population on a regular basis and let the market determine what is best to do with them. Peg the amount of such credits to the dirtiness of the global energy mix, including transportation, gas usage, etc. such that, if we clean up our energy usage this month, everybody gets to spend more credits next month. Eventually we have more tokens than we know what to do with because our energy supply is nearly free of emissions. There may still be some niche uses for carbon-emitting fossil energy (running helicopters to inspect electrical transmission lines, for example) but market forces will have pushed them to the absolute minimum level.

This is of course all a way of getting everyone on board with our real, material situation, which is that there is a finite amount of carbon that we can afford to dump into the atmosphere in the immediate next few centuries.

This is basically just cap-and-trade with extra steps but has the advantage of novelty, and that it is graspable by the average voter who (rightfully) views cap-and-trade schemes as being 1) really boring and 2) mainly a way for Wall Street types to scam money out of productive enterprises. Under this scheme, we can generate huge public support for green energy schemes since each new watt of generation installed this month will mean everyone is better off in real terms next month.
It’s reasonable to do both?

(although in this case I’m not blaming my government too much, beyond failing to anticipate Germany’s need for our excess energy, and for not setting a country-wide pricing model for electricity. With Putin’s current stupidity, a lot of the previous energy planning goes out of the window, and all we can do is hold on for the ride.)

My favorite Goddard memory is coming into the weekly screening for my film theory class and seeing that we would be watching Weekend. I asked the professor for a synopsis and he said it is about moving towards a non-borgouis cinema. Smirking as I thought, "Ask a cinema prof a straightforward question..."

I mean, what's the plot of the film?

That is the plot.

Proceeded to have my mind blown. While I detest his politics, I remain in awe of his brilliance and total command of the medium.
That's fine, but you are ignoring the broader picture if you do. You've correctly identified a detail, but haven't placed that detail in context.
I’d be interested in better RT performance for the purposes of VR gaming but, unfortunately, the high fidelity PCVR gaming market died with the Quest 2.
Why not? Having to manually manage the dependency array is tedious: in fact, not specifying a required dependency is a logic error anyway, so having the compiler do it is basically preferred in all cases.
I do prefer Koyaanisqatsi to any movie that thinks it has a plot but really just has a bunch of surround sound and vibrant colors signifying nothing. Koyaanisqatsi is great for putting on a large flatscreen in the backround while you're playing a board game with friends.

My favorite movie of all time is City of God -- tons of plot, compelling characters, realistic situation, great music, a totally immersive experience. I consider it the greatest movie ever made in spite of the fact that you have to watch it with subtitles unless you speak Portuguese.
I don't know if they plan to reprint it or not. Sorry.
The easiest approach is probably to avoid or reduce obviously harmful habits and behaviors that result in chronic diseases (eg: cardiovascular disease, diabetes)

- Avoid smoking and hard drugs

- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption

- Avoid fast food, excessive salt and sugar, deep fried dishes

- Avoid excessive stress and worrying

Besides that, focus on the basics:

- Consistent and restful sleep

- Healthy, balanced diet

- Regular exercise

- Novel and mentally-stimulating activities, continuous learning

- Strong social connections (not just online social networks, but actual friends and family you can hang out with in-person)

If you want even more, there have been studies about 5 blue zones where inhabitants regularly reach ages of 100 or more, and 9 habits they follow: https://www.bluezones.com/2016/11/power-9/

1. Move naturally: build exercise into your daily life

2. Purpose: a reason to wake up in the morning

3. Downshift: Routines that shed stress

4. Only eat until you are 80% full. Consider occasionally fasting.

5. Plant and bean-based diet

6. Moderate (1-2 cups/day) consumption of alcohol

7. Faith

8. Close family connections

9. Social circles that support healthy behaviors

Send me your resume and I will help you polish it up. There are also free training courses you can take that I can point you to. w.a.barnhill@gmail.com and put GiftedZebra in the subject. FWIW, I've got 20+ years as a software engineer working for large consulting companies. If it's not clear, this is free, no strings attached. This is also a thing for you, as an expectant parent so hopefully I won't get flooded with resumes.
People think that if there were no scalpers, that they would be able to get a card at MSRP. But that's completely misguided. They wouldn't be able to get a card at all.

Affordable, widely available, obtainable. In a supply constrained market, you can only choose two of those. Scalpers make it so it's widely available and obtainable. But no other option would help everyone get cards at MSRP.
The author is just flat wrong.

Unless one thinks there are no supply chains in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, which is obviously wrong.

Money isn't what makes it a supply chain. Pull dependencies on provenance (including origination, transformations, even aggregation) make it a supply chain.
The major concerns would be the thermal paste degrading or the fan dying. Both are easy and cheap to remedy, and are probably worth preventively fixing when you buy the card.

Congratulations! Sounds like a stressful situation. In my opinion:

It sounds like you need a break and need a bit of a mental adjustment: you've likely spent a decade being undervalued (new hires almost always make more than long-serving employees).

Take what pat leave you can, max out vacation time, and sick days if you need to, decompress, and adjust to being a dad.

As soon as you feel ready, talk to management / owners and express these feelings. You'll get good feedback either way. Your goal is either to take a sabbatical and come back refreshed, with a raise, or take your notice period to find a new job.

Maybe it's time to move into management or shift into something slower, like government. Maybe it's time to move nearer to family -- grandpa and grandma might enjoy helping with childcare.

Calm down, face your fears, and change what you need to change in order to take care of your responsibilities.

Best of luck!

The data held by an Rc doesn't have one owner. It would probably be pretty painstaking to do cyclic data structures with them correctly, differentiating between strong and weak Rc as appropriate, but probably doable. If you don't care about leaking memory, or if the graph is static, you don't even need to worry about that.

The primary difference between Loom's virtual threads and Kotlin's virtual threads (coroutines) are:

- Coroutines have a higher overhead. Though not huge, Loom threads are nearly free.

- Kotlin Coroutines aren't pre-emptible (and this is the big one). Loom's threads are pre-emptible. This property is why they can be more efficient.

I have a desktop PC that I sometimes use for gaming, everything from demanding simulators (like Flight Simulator and X-Plane) to grand strategy games and other more mainstream games. Last GPU I bought was a 2080ti that still is my GPU, and I bought that something like 3 years ago. I can still game mainstream games on very high settings without issues. So not sure why your setup aged like milk but mine didn't...
Ask HN: What personal project would you love to run on a supercomputer?
It absolutely can. There's only 2 players in this business, 3 if you count Intel but their GPU future doesn't sound promising.

Nvidia sets the bar and AMD follows. AMDs prices have slowly crept up as well. So no matter what, you're paying much more for a top spec GPU today than you ever have before.

It's in the best interests of both Nvidia and AMD to keep these prices high, and it's a detriment to the consumer.

AMD did it with their CPUs as well. They undercut Intel with some great price/performance deals. Grabbed their market share back and are now bumping those prices back up to parity with Intel. Now neither company has to cut their prices.

Nvidia will use artificial scarcity to push these prices. We know they can produce a shit tonne of GPUs, they did it for years.
It's even more naive to assume Cloudflare's CTO would tell lies that can be trivially shown to be untrue.
The thing that has kept me tied to React is the support for native mobile and desktop development. Expo has been a really nice environment for mobile development compared to some other things I have used in the past. EAS is also pretty handy. It looks like Svelte has improved in this area, but my past experiences with NativeScript were not very inspiring. Is anyone using Svelte for production mobile or desktop development?

What are peoples thoughts on Svelte vs Solid? I know Lit/native web components are out there as an option as well. I have past experiences with it when it was Polymer.

If anyone is looking for something very lightweight they may want to consider Alpine as well.
Disabling UPnP doesn't break much. I've used enterprise firewalls at home for years, none of them have UPnP, I've never noticed a problem arising from that lack. I don't have a problem with video games or collaboration tools

UPnP allows devices inside your network to open ports to the outside world without your knowledge. I think everyone should avoid it if they can get by without it
I don't understand. If you are unable to cool it properly, you can under-clock it, or run less intensive programs on it, or just get a last gen card.

Offering a more powerful GPU/CPU for people and use-cases that demand it is not a problem. Most games these days run well even on mid-tier cards of the 20 series, that's two generations ago. So people have all the choice in the world.

Just because a 1000 bhp LaFerrari exists in the market, doesn't mean you cannot buy a ~100 bhp Corolla. People who buy the Ferrari will need to take special care of their car to get the most out of it. That's a pleasure in itself for some.
A number theory problem where pi appears surprisingly
Great article! Covers a lot of interesting concepts.

I think it would have been really nice to justify the extra size tradeoff from the spin lock onwards (with benchmarks).

So as you add code, you really justify it with the impact it has on code size and the (extra) performance it brings. I think it would have been really helpful to visualise the exact impact of each change.

Another thing you could do with this approach is to include the extra optimisations that didn’t work that you talked about. Would have been really cool to see a “failed” strategy at improving performance, with an explanation of why it didn’t work.
When ppl whine about Swift UI, this sort of post kinda seems to highlight that growing pains issues are perhaps similar across the board.

Ask HN: Why are banking/finance apps so heavy?
I have an iPhone. Of the 10 largest apps on my phone, 4 are bank/finance apps … Robinhood clocks in at 480MB, Chase at 350.

What about these apps demands such a large footprint? (Larger than say Notion, Amazon, messaging, navigation/maps, etc etc)
Sadly I do much of my gaming over Moonlight which is Nvidia-exclusive and beats the pants off Steam Link. Also I find the AMD naming conventions somewhat confusing and I can never judge the relative performance of an AMD card by its model number.
I ditched React soon after they released hooks, mainly because I couldn't relate to the tradeoff React roadmap was taking from there. They went in a different direction from that point onwards, it seem like whatever code you write will become obsolete with the new set of best practices in the next release cycle.

More importantly, I realized React is trying to tame Facebook level of problems and hence their design decision steams from those data points. I develop small/medium type of frontend apps which doesn't need to apply solutions developed for such a scale.

These days I'm using Hotwire[1] (Turbo + Stimulus) with fair amount of vanilla javascript libraries in my apps. Occasionally, when I need to develop a reactive piece of UI I reach out for Svelte[2]

I'm quite happy after making the move. My apps complexity has reduced drastically and there is huge boost in my overall productivity.

This is in my opinion, doublespeak to some degree. I used to view it this way. Ultimately our governments reward lack of integrity - the evil king rises to power faster than a good king (perhaps term limits in western democracy play a role here) but ultimately honesty and integrity will, by the nature of their immutable consistency, always eventually triumph given sufficient effort. However - in an environment owned by the dishonest this often wont be realised, particularly if the risks are too high. What we are left with IS a lack of integrity being one key to one success in these scenarios. The question is... is that the life you want to lead? Stalin existed with total control, but ultimately everyone lied to him out of fear. He was successful from a human aquiring resources perspective, but. Is that a world someone wants to live in?
Can't even bike safely in the summer in my smallish city in Canada. No bike paths, with roads that keep getting wider with increased speeds, such that the city recommends riding on the sidewalk, and then you are supposed to dismount to cross the road every block. Cycling in Los Angeles where near misses were a daily occurrence felt safer.
Yes! CLJS + Reagent (and thus react).
A third possibility is that economic activity which was not previously wasteful (...?) is no longer feasible; that is, businesses which planned a future in shipping things that are made with wheat or eat wheat or use gasoline or are shipped with gasoline can no longer use those plans and have to cut output accordingly.

> but I think the gaming market at least will care more about the difference in raw frames and memory size

I'm not sure I understand why memory is important for gaming? For most games, with every settings maxed up, it'll be a stretch if it uses 6GB of VRAM.

For other applications than gaming, 100% agree, but for gaming I can't imagine it's important.
I don't buy a new gpu when it's too expensive. I don't play a game when my current gpu can't run it. I may be boring, but I don't see much difference in graphics quality compared to 5 or 10 years ago... Software seems to just have gotten worse. Whenever I buy new hardware, I feel like I'm indirectly part of the problem, where devs are forced to cut corners bc of budget and time constraints as they're shipping low par software.
To be frank, that's exactly the problem with NAT-PMP et al. assuming that there's no router bugs: the ability to forward ports has been abused to set up bot relays on hacked IoT devices. This is why I predict that even in IPv6 era we would still have to rely on a TURN-equivalent.
They also added a texture pack. Notice how the walls went from concrete to shiny white metal.

Alright; I've been on HN for 5 years. Since we're all friends who know each other so well, how about you tell me about myself? I'm reasonably active and I have an extremely recognizable username, so you should of course remember me quite well.
Nvidia realized they can charge whatever they want and are taking full advantage of that. Hopefully Intel, AMD and used cards are able to bring them down a peg.

It is very subjective. DLSS for me is always a blurry mess. I'm turning it off in every game - I'll better will turn off some RTX features than suffer that blurriness torture.
> I think I hit a nerve with this one.

It does tend to grate on people when you have developers from a certain community going and calling anybody that doesn't agree with their "One True Way" inferior and not loving their craft. This is literally the No True Scotsman fallacy to a tee. You're essentially saying, "Only a true programmer that loves their craft would use Rust. Clearly if you're not using Rust, you're not a true programmer". Yeah, sure.

I'll say this for the millionth time, I've seen great code in C++, I've seen terrible code in C++. I've seen great code in Python, I've seen terrible code in Python. I've seen great code in Typescript, I've seen terrible code in Typescript. I personally don't look at Rust code, but I'm willing to bet that there's great Rust code, and terrible Rust code. It turns out, the language is not the variable in this equation, it's the developer.

> That's my personal experience, I don't have hard data to back it up.

So, statistically speaking, you're making this up out of thin air.

> That you can find an exception doesn't disprove the rule. You still have to treat people as individuals, and not as a population. That should go without saying.

Exactly, which is why saying something like:

>> People learn C++ in college. People learn Rust because they love their craft.

Is such a radical statement. I don't see people from other programming language communities talk like this. It's amazing to me that people from the Rust community think saying things like, "If you don't learn Rust, it must be because you don't love your craft" is a verifiable fact.

I know it's a crazy thought to have, but maybe, just maybe, people can like different things...?
Everybody move to the tropics, get used to the heat and ride motor scooters just like India and Bangladesh. Cold climates that require a lot of energy just to live in are going to empty out in the next decades.

I predict a massive wave of immigration from Europe, Australia, and Canada to Latin America. There are already a ton of people from these countries showing up in Mexico because of Covid restrictions, easy immigration for first-worlders, and a lower cost of living. I suspect the upcoming winter of deprivation and economic crisis in Europe and other cold regions will send a bunch more economic/cold refugees that way.

The Howey Test: Are Crypto-Assets Investment Contracts?
I totally agree. I actually stopped using React around the time hooks were announced. In retrospect it's still not clear if hooks were even a good idea.

Changing the core methodology of a project used by millions of developers at the time was extremely irresponsible. They basically made obsolete all React educational resources overnight. I'm sure people making money by producing React educational content were very happy about that though.
