The more one reads about this company the more one realizes what a nasty paraiah it is. We've already seen enough of its atrocious behavior over recent years for governments to act and this latest outrage ought to be the last straw. They've no longer any excuse not to do so.

If I had my way I'd regulate it out of existence. The damage it and its cohorts have already done to the internet is incalculable.
This gives me an idea of an attack vector. These groans and moans seem rather quiet, and the airline claims its an amplifier issue. Assuming that the amplifier is not shielded from the cabin and that its analog tech, one could theoretically induce intentional interference to play whatever you want, right?
Thanks for this, it looks absolutely brilliant.

To the author - this is beautiful. If I could, it would be awesome to have a version that simulates the title of the film: the code forms up a name or a simple sentence.
Exactly all we need is massive hydro-electric projects like Quebec (and somewhere to put them) and a dozen nuclear stations like Ontario.

It’s pretty clear California wants neither of those.
They could improve that by losing the turbines, and connecting a bunch of units to a common plenum driving a single turbine on shore. They could use two plenums, one with overpressure and another with vacuum, and connect the turbine between those.

It would still expose a bunker to surface waves, but anyway it has no exterior moving parts. I am surprised they did not shape it to avoid absorbing direct strikes on the outside -- something more dolphin-shaped.

It says something when a random passersby can suggest major design improvements on a few minutes' acquaintance, but it is a common feature of almost all proposed renewable energy generation and storage technologies.

The incentive structure for proposals and grants seems to enforce extreme overcomplication in order to seem "novel". There seems to be no space for simplicity.
I think you didn't read @JohnFen carefully enough.

If the reason I am doing something is that I believe it will create results independent of being seen to have done it, I am not virtue signalling. Which is what @JohnFen said.

Conversely, if the reason I am doing something is because of the signalling value I believe will be attached to the way others see my actions, I am virtue signalling. Which is what you said.
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act [1] which started the SPR says:

> SEC. 2. The purposes of this Act are—

> (1) to grant specific standby authority to the President, subject to congressional review, to impose rationing, to reduce demand for energy through the implementation of energy conservation plans, and to fulfill obligations of the United States under the international energy program;

> (2) to provide for the creation of a Strategic Petroleum Reserve capable of reducing the impact of severe energy supply interruptions ;

> (3) to increase the supply of fossil fuels in the United States, through price incentives and production requirements;

> (4) to conserve energy supplies through energy conservation programs, and, where necessary, the regulation of certain energy uses;

> (5) to provide for improved energy efficiency of motor vehicles, major appliances, and certain other consumer products;

> (6) to reduce the demand for petroleum products and natural gas through programs designed to provide greater availability and use of this Nation's abundant coal resources; and

> (7) to provide a means for verification of energy data to assure the reliability of energy data

So it very much is about ensuring supply and and price stabilization.

They can't even do it at 1% of cars being electric without rolling blackouts. The bush-shitter is completely relevant. Who will maintain this 100% renewable electric grid, scale unknown? Forever? Maybe him if that was actually the way California was headed. No, he can just get 600$ a month to shit in bushes instead.

It's hard not to be cynical or entertain thoughts of Hollywood planning these things in case the show sucks. Because they can clearly do entertainment with diverse casting, non-white people, female leads and succeed:

- Tom Holland Spider-Man does not have a red-head MJ, Flash is Indian and the made up best friend is Filipino.
- Domino in the Dead Pool movies is black. NTW doesn't seem to have the same powers and is gay. But I'm not sure what the current character status is.
- Everything Everywhere All at Once
- Black Panther
- Shang Chi
- Jordan Peele does good work: Nope, Us, Candy Man, Get Out
- The Expanse
- Life of Pi
- Sandman swaps a bunch of stuff

Appetite for completely foreign media is much slower in English speaking countries but once in a while you get a major break through: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Parasite.

For iconic female leads: Terminator has Sarah Connor, Ripley from Aliens, The Bride from Kill Bill, Charlize Therons character in the last Mad Max movie. Buffy. I apologize for how narrow the genres are here.

I don't think the popular media for anything I just mentioned was too negative (maybe Black Panther?). Is it really just the fans? I bet the overlap of Rings of Power watchers and watchers of the stuff I listed is pretty big ...

With reasonable prioritization, we can probably do a lot to reduce the threat long before we get near everything.

> who is going to pay for that?

Well, this bill does seem to involve hiring FOSS devs, maybe that's partly what they'd do?
"Why doesn't a car company just come out with a new car only focused on performance that i can fix on muh easement and none of this expensive safety or emissions stuff"
Wait until you hear about the mining operations needed to build them.
That same solution still works for FOSS, you just actually need to pay for it. The situation for FOSS is even better because you also have the option of paying any other person to fix the code. Hopefully that's kinda what this bill does, though?
Yes. Not yet.
I doubt it. The bullet movement may be chaotic, which means that tiny changes in initial conditions will drastically affect the trajectory, but it is theoretically possible to predict the trajectory. However, it is likely that quantum effects such as the movement of an electron through slits is actually non-deterministic, so we can only predict it in a statistical way even in principle.
>Also the when the bullet drops from supersonic to subsonic speed, there is a non-deterministic kick that it receives which dramatically reduces accuracy beyond that distance.

Fun fact, while video games typically depict suppressors as slowing bullets down, and lowering range (presumably with subsonic ammo). A lot of rifles are actually have slightly longer range with a suppressor and standard ammo because it allows the powder to burn more completely with a slightly higher muzzle velocity and therefore it takes longer to hit that subsonic transition

You're right, there is no single answer. This paper doesn't try to provide a single answer.

If they ever convert all the coast-to-coast tractor trailers out there to hydrogen, all the major city buses to hydrogen, maybe local deliver trucks too, how much petroleum would that save? Can't find an easy answer.
I don't follow how HTML comes anything close to expressing dynamism, composition, state, Turing completeness, etc.

Sure, you can encode whatever you want inside of data attributes, but that's just ignoring the problem. You still have to decide on a language to express all that within your data attributes.

I'm legitimately curious. Can you point to a single actual source to cite "the React team made the change to hooks because of JS engine performance"? (and when you say "performance", you _are_ talking about literal instruction execution time / JIT behavior / etc, that sort of thing?)

I'm pretty deeply tied into the React ecosystem, and I honestly can't remember _ever_ seeing that mentioned as a justification.

If you can link me a reference with them saying that, I'd both be interested in reading it, but honestly surprised to see that stated at all.

...so users write specific rules in their grammars for error cases and then add custom error messages?

The actual state of the technology are tools like tree sitter, which doesn't generate an abstract syntax tree like this one does.

I've written many parsers in my life. They're almost exclusively recursive descent because a generated parser is inferior in many, many ways. A lot of parser generators miss the forest for the trees - lexers are usually trivial to write and a hand rolled recursive descent parser takes about a day (and lets you handle precedence in a sane way that can be extensible!) - usually for better performance, easier maintainability, and good error handling.

What's super hard to do is an incremental query oriented parser and compiler with a concrete syntax tree that doesn't use ungodly amounts of memory and has bad performance. Generative tools for that architecture are few and far between but much more useful than lex/yacc alternative.
a 10% latency hit on addition would definitely be noticable. that's roughly 1.5 years of IPC improvements at the current rate of CPU progress.
There's a funny bite here that seems long-term good.

The gov has a large culture of tapping integrators who do not give back to OSS, just use, basically the middle man, and leave behind fragile one-offs. Such abandonware should overwhelm recieving depts within 6-12mo, and bringing back integrators for the treadmill of patching superfluous npm CVEs would break their budgets.

So that means pressure to, well, not do that. Either the integrators get more involved, or part of the budgets finally goes to people who are.
So how do you know this?
The point of the oil reserves isn’t to nick a couple cents off gas prices shortly before an election, it’s to provide a buffer of raw petroleum in case we go to war and the source pipelines and supply chains get hit.

The real waste of resources was the Democrats refusal to allow topping up the strategic oil reserves when the spot price collapsed in 2020. As a country we would have been mote secure for the future and the localized impact could have stabilized prices.

DOE has a decent info / FAQ site on the SPI:

It looks like drawdown's been going on at 1 million barrels per day since March, in the name of bringing down gasoline prices. Curiously enough, another approach to doing that - limiting exports - got no traction or interest whatsoever. Here it's important to note that the 1970s-era ban on crude oil exports was lifted cooperatively by Democrats and Republicans in 2015, and the USA is now a net exporter (apparently most imports are crude oil, and most exports are refined products?).

For an open-access report on this situation (Sep 7 2022):

Meanwhile LNG exports to Europe seem to be running at full tilt, and oil major profits have never been higher. Seems like the war is delivering to Wall Street as hoped for (although Russian oil money also seems to be flowing in full-tilt, so?).
> still sold on the bs american dream of being stuck all day in a metal box instead

As opposed to what, being stuck all day in a larger metal box with dozens of others?

The quality of life solution is to kill the commute, not to kill cars in favor of transit.

Mixed-use zoning, housing policy that makes moving easy instead of extraordinarily expensive or impossible, and remote work -- these should be the focus. Transit is great for the environment, not so great for "being outside and enjoying the real world with other humans".
Lift to drag is interesting - but without dividing by seats or tons is incomplete. You’re not really measuring work being done (actually transporting goods or people).

These problems are hard.

Lift induced drag goes down as velocity decreases, parasitic drag goes up as velocity increases. There’s there’s wave drag to contend with. Yes there’s weird places where going faster is helpful, but I doubt we’re going to see real net efficiency gains going faster than Mach .8-9 anytime soon.
It is really cool but I think needs to sync with video. It seems that this would be relatively easy to do.

This is also reflected in his choice of Xamarin: he "doesn't like" Dart as a language, so he's forced to choose "dotnet MAUI as a platform [which] might not be as mature and capable as Flutter even today". Flutter as well "suffers from many bugs and problems". Is Flutter really that buggy?

The take-home, IMO:

>Let’s step back for a moment and reflect on what an amazing accomplishment this was. The entire ARM design team consisted of Sophie Wilson, Steve Furber, a couple of additional chip designers, and a four-person team writing testing and verification software. This new 32-bit CPU based on an advanced RISC design was created by fewer than 10 people, and it worked correctly the first time. In contrast, National Semiconductor was up to the 10th revision of the 32016 and was still finding bugs.

Remember: Complexity is poisonous.
> A blackout or a drive crash or any number of failure cases could have happened instead and you would have still lost that unsaved data, too.

GP said he was using a laptop that was unplugged. A blackout wouldn't have made a difference. And in the case of a drive crash, saving (locally) wouldn't have helped.

I think automatic updates really deserve a fair share of the blame here.
is BTFS production ready? as in, is it stable these days?
> California hates the Central Valley, and hates the people in it.

I live in one of the cities mention in the article and yes, this disdain is apparent. When I go to cons in the bay, I hate mentioning where I'm from. The look on peoples' faces ranges from contempt to disgust.

California has always had a costal/valley divide. You can read newspaper articles from the early 20th century about how money shouldnt be spent on the then-new hwy 99 because those on the coast don't want to fund valley projects. The same sentiment exists in the HSR discussions today. That's one example, and for nearly every issue there is a similar costal/valley dynamic. We often hear of the NorCal/SoCal division, but for political issues, we really should be talking about coastal/valley differences.

I have neither an explaination, nor a call to action, but I know that I often feel like an outsider in both places. Not everyone here fits a type, just like how not everyone fits a type where ever one lives.
Let’s just hope they don’t program this thing to play the brown note.
This reminds me of the article[0] by Scott Alexander where he makes the case that Americans spend less money on an election cycle than they spend on almonds. You would think that if money ruled the day then a lot more would be spent on politics.

Yes, you are totally correct. We don't use our root account now, and we keep our our corporate Yubikeys in a safe with a 2-key access lock. The issue is that fewer and fewer people have access to the safe due to geography. I'm worried about our in-city bus factor.
Yeah, each of that requires extra cli/config/setup instead of just `import` libs. It's not about old or new, it's simple vs unnecessary deps (imply complexity).

Why do debt and deficit spending matter?

The US government gets a big pool of money, which includes your taxes. That pool of money pays for a huge variety of things like roads, air traffic control, research grants, the military, NASA, justice system, and the list goes on and on.

A portion of the money services debts — just like in your personal budget. Those debts paid for things in the past — perhaps an infrastructure upgrade in your area.

If the pool of money isn’t big enough to cover every expense, it goes into debt to get the money — just like you would to buy a house.

None of this means the government has a huge amount of credit card debt with 20% APR. It’s not irresponsible thing to spend more than you have if it will propel growth, resulting in more future income. Businesses do it all the time. Debt is used as a useful tool at this scale — which is very different from how debt works (or how people use debt) for individuals.

Regardless of deficit or debt, your tax money is still funding many things directly. Whether or not you agree with those things is one thing — but your comment didn’t really touch on that. Personally, I’d like to see less defense spending and nationalized healthcare.

But I’m still “happy” to pay taxes which allow me to live in a very stable country.
