We stopped capitalizing each letter in Lisp since Interlisp (sometime around 1960ies). I might be just making shit up, but I think the idea was to use "Lisp" when referring to the programming language dialects, and "LISP" when talking specifically about McCarthy's original thing. But don't quote me on that.

Anyway, Lisp isn't acronym anymore (or abbreviation, initialism?, mnemonic? I don't know what you call that). It doesn't always mean "LISt Processing" anymore.

So "that guy" is right. It's Lisp, not LISP. Well, most of the time it is.
How long do you think is it until high refresh rate, color e-ink displays become a thing? What is a "high" refresh rate when it comes to e-ink? I'm very curious about this technology, but haven't looked into it much.
> Energy density matters... a lot. As a matter of scale, nuclear can be shipped by plane to feed a plant (no Government would allow it, just for comparison sake). Try doing it with coal or gas. How much digging you must do to have a sizeable quantity of radioactive ore to refine into nuclear fuel? Compare it to coal, lithium salt, bauxite (aluminium) and cobalt. Electrification of everything and mining every item above can take a greater toll on environment.

You're still just pointing out categories where renewables win.

Glassless pv panels are available to anyone. Consider the Barrel 375W panel at 5kg.

That's a power density of 18W/kg which is about on par with the mass of steel in most nuclear reactors and dwarfed by the mass of concrete.

In a 25 year lifetime it has an energy output of 14GJ/kg. Compare to about 200GJ/kg of uranium fuel at typical burnup and thermal efficiency. It looks favourable for the uranium until you consider you have to have a huge amount of safety and shielding equipment around it. So this is fine unless you are arguing that LWRs have insufficient energy density?

Solar also requires a little bit of silver and copper, but that is vastly easier to get than all the exotic elements required to keep a nuclear reactor running.

> The most important component in solar panels is silicon with 99.999% purity. That consumes a lot or energy to produce. And China produces lots of them... fueled by coal plants. Nice for a carbon-free tech.

How do you think that uranium is mined? This is captured hy eroi which is in the 20-100 range for current generation panels.
Can you to tell me more how that funding changed people? I have an idea but I am curious to learn it from you.
>shooting yourself

TBH having a firearm in that scenario would probably entice one to behave poorly in effort to survive.

Cursory research of using gun has 80-90% success rate. That said it might skew 100% in a world where emergency services stop, but those are still pretty high odds of slowly bleeding out. And ultimately, as hypothetical euthanasia executor, I don't want to mercy shoot loved ones in the head.

Side note: this is morbid topic I think about every once in a while after seeing meme comparing Google vs Bing when queried "suicide methods". Google showed prevention hotline, Bing showed a table with methods and success rate. What stood out was that most popular methods were around coin flip to negligible effectiveness. Seems like it's just really hard to gracefully end someone/oneself, which is my only real anxiety in these apocalypse scenarios.

Capitalism and free market are inherently incompatible.

>I love capitalism when it's functioning it's the greatest system ever invented.

Capitalism is never functioning. It is inherently dysfunctional. The moment there is wealth and people should be happy, it breaks completely. It only "works" if the economy is growing or in other words, it only works if the economy has been recently destroyed by a war that justifies growth. What you might love is the market that capitalists eventually distort.

>When it's just a market full of monopolies it's akin to dysfunctional communism from a consumer choice perspective.

Capitalism is a monopoly based economic system. Getting rid of the monopolies gets rid of capitalism entirely and you are left with just a market based economy. I don't know what you are even talking about.

>I don't know what the solution is.

The solution is basically an liquidity theory (you could also consider it a trade theory of money) based approach that splits interest or as the Marxists call it "surplus value", into its individual parts and once you do so, you will realize that there is actually no room to compensate the owners of capital, only the owners of liquidity and liquidity is a public good, a service provided by the government and the public combined which then deserves to be taxed to bring costs and benefits in line.

Liquidity preference was Keynes greatest discovery and nobody gives a damn, not even the Communists, so what other option than perpetual inflation did he have?

Those are some serious costs. The cost of the TGV links in France are definitely in the 10s of billions but no 100s of billions.

Are you sure those budgets aren't getting eaten by consultants or lawyers doing the impact assessments? Even with higher labour costs that is a pretty steep hike.

- I don't want my TV crash regularly
- I don't want to connect my TV to the internet
- I don't want my TV to spy on me
- I don't want to have ads on my TV
- I do want to have control over image/video processing

I found the open-soruce toolchain to be a good first step into that direction, that is, not having to jump through hoops to get the vendor toolchain to work.

It's only a first step though. Still needed: an Arduino-like IDE where you can click-and-run your design; examples that match the board you are using; examples to use peripherals(1) without having to resort to vendor IP blackboxes.

We're also eternally stuck with HDLs that are either crappy, niche-only, or add loads of complexity -- but I'm not really sure how bad this is for a beginner. Getting Verilog syntax right is probably only half bad if you have good IDE support.

(1) talking to an SDRAM is easy, getting DDR3 timing right on an ECP5 isn't. A simple "this is how you do it" example would be priceless, not being stuck between blackboxes from Lattice and Migen exception stacktraces.

It's not just for large aircraft. ATC manages flights to many smaller airports as well including charters and private aircraft. The system scales pretty well.

It's always been very strange for me that people who use computers hours and hours per day don't customize their workflows in any ways. Same people who customize and spend a long time choosing their car because they sit an hour or two every day in those, who are always improving their efficiency in stuff like building things, cleaning, cooking etc.. Then they go to their 6-12 hour daily stint on computer and use Edit->Copy, Edit->Paste to copy&paste stuff and that's the level they stay on forever, only changing things when updates change it for them.
AI could also easily replace edgy comments on Twitter. What will people do then? The first jobs to be automated are probably clerks in public and private positions. But I doubt this will realize itself to soon when I look at automation in production today. We have a high tech machine for soldering and checking. It is actually slower than those doing it by hand aside from the most simple tasks. It is our 0.5 employee and while I don't know its exact budget, I think it is economically not competitive. It can help, but I doubt it will replace many people. Yes, there is tech that could make it better and faster, but...

AI still fails hard if people try to burn down the building because the AI was incapable to serve their query that only slightly deviated from standard procedure.

Text books are highly dense, and often complete works on a subject (or with reference to others forming a corpus of complete works). Some are kept up-to-date on a subject with annexes.

Few wrote read textbooks, they are often used as reference or worked from. But textbooks can form a through line or a framework to guide you through a subject in a bespoke way - as pictured by an expert or team of experts.

I love wisdom literature. The author gives the Instructions of Shurappak as the oldest literature on his list. Many maxims are metaphorical, like Pythagorean sayings.

https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Instructions_of_Shuruppak

But, I’d like to share my favorite, the Egyptian “The Instructions of Hardjedef”, supposedly written in the 25th century BC:

* Clean yourself in your own eyes before someone can clean you.
* When you grow, build a house.
* Take a wife who has mastered her heart and multiply.
* You build for your children when you house yourself.
* Build a strong house in the grave and a noble place where the sun sets.
* Death lowers us, life lifts us.
* The house of death is for life.

That last line, that the house of death is for life, suggests that the tombs were for the living, to support memories, traditions and cultural continuity. It makes tomb building less of a selfish affair.
I sort of see it the other way around. To me Google is an advertisement company first, and if you use Google products then you know your privacy data is how you pay for those products. With Apple and Microsoft you're paying for the product, but you're now also getting your privacy data sucked into their growing advertisement business.

I personally think the use of privacy data is a waste of resources, and that companies like duckduckgo have the longer end of the stick. Because it makes more sense to me, that I get advertisements for a robot vacuum cleaner when I'm searching for one, and not the 3 months after I buy one, but then there is a trillion dollar advertisement industry to prove me wrong. So who knows. But what pisses me off is that companies sell you a product, and then also include advertisement and privacy data harvesting in it, like that Samsung TV article that was on here recently. Or how Windows "home or whatever the non-enterprise edition is called" now sometimes installs pre-installers for things like candy crush or Minecraft without asking you to do so... Like what the hell?

I don't want you to read this as a defence for google, but at least they are sort of honest about the evil they do.

I'm not sure any of these sleazy moves will have the desired outcomes for these companies. I don't want to use linux, I did once, but I like my technology to work right out of the box with no effort to make it so or to maintain it, which is why I'm in the Apple ecosystem these days, but the ways things are heading, I think the only future will be linux, and trying to find appliances that aren't add-infested.
I absolutely hate this ' let's just put it on Facebook'. My wife was planning to go to this boutique kids shoe shop. Checked the opening hours,etc. Went there just to see the shop closed. Calls the owner, and she's all surprised: oh but I did post on Facebook that I'll be open from 2pm..
That's ironic. You can pay your way around the nonsense surveillance/advertising infrastructure by buying the expensive functional displays that were intended for uninterrupted advertising infrastructure.

Can we produce substantially inexpensive black-boxed hardware that they desperately want in order to cut costs, but interferes in dissatisfying but barely tolerable ways with the quality of life too? Can we occasionally make it send messages in-store to their customers that the execs wouldn't want or approve of but find themselves putting up with because it's relatively benign compared to a worse bottom line?
No, 'unofficial' is a euphemism. They're questionable. It's just that sometimes the answer to the question is "who gives a damn?"

All university towns in Denmark are bike-friendly and improving. Copenhagen is definitely further along that path, even car-unfriendly, but also with much more expensive housing.

In a recent article titled “College Ed Must Adapt or Die”, Jason Wingard, the President of Temple University in Pennsylvania wrote: “Consider this my burning platform memo for higher ed.” Wingard was referring to the now famous memo by the Nokia CEO in 2011 in which he referred to the company’s position as “standing on a burning platform.” The story was of an oil rig worker, trapped on a burning oil rig, who faced the choice to stay and face the flames or jump almost 100 feet into the icy North Sea and hope for rescue.

There is a crisis happening in higher education right now, and if it were any other type of business, there would be widespread panic. We see strong warning signs that indicate the house is on fire. We have options available to us now, but we must act before it is too late, and we end up trapped in a burning building.

Let’s look at the signs and potential solutions that shifting to a skills focus present.
> This is why we don't bomb Ukranian cities

Ukranian cities are absolutely being leveled by Russian munitions.

The pipelines are the biggest source of money into Russia as well. Russia has tried to go around Ukraine with the NordStream2 pipeline, but NATO countries stalled that for years precisely because they didn't want to let Russia cut Ukraine out.

I had to google quite a bit to find out what PSC means: Performance Summary Cycle

Without specifics, you have 4 outcomes:

1. everything turns rosy and you're happy - stay

2. you get put on a performance improvement plan (or whatever Meta HR calls it) and you are Ok with it and improve - stay.

3. you bomb the PIP and are shown the door - shuffle off :-( or :-)

4. It's all too hard and you bail.

BTW the above applies pretty much everywhere. Believe it or not, Meta only exists to make the shareholders and top executives even richer.

Founder of the company behind the OG app here.

Just wanted to give my thoughts on the whole situation. This is in addition to our official statement here: https://twitter.com/TheOGapp_/status/1575217497011200001

I want to start off by saying that everyone in this whole comments section has been making points as if what they are saying is "fact". Nothing here is "fact" because there are no laws around API usage. I don't think lawyers even know what HTML or JSON mean. Everything here is an opinion and there are clearly opinions on all parts of the spectrum.

Meta is currently completely within their rights to put in their terms of service that there should be no 3rd party clients, there should be no way to access their APIs, etc. That is true. However, we believe that shouldn't be the case. People should be allowed to have the freedom to choose how they use platforms. People should be allowed to control which apps access their data and what they do with it. Some people in the comments mentioned that this is very similar to "Ma Bell" and the whole anti-trust situation along with that, and it very much is. We are stifling innovation and creation of jobs, wealth, and truly wonderful products in the social space because of the stronghold Meta has over the market. For example, both Brazil (PIX) and India (UPI) have open instant payment systems that came about due to Government anti-trust regulation that encouraged competition. This led to a boom in digital payments and was a huge boon for both countries. If you have tried either of these systems, you would know that they are leagues ahead of more "modern" countries like the US. By not allowing interoperability and portability of social networks, and user data at large, we are stifling the growth of the economy and of the products that can be built. Listen, this is no small amount. Social networks were responsible for onboarding the first billion people onto the internet. These tools now help everyone in the world communicate at all times. Do not underestimate the impact they have and the reduction in value across the world because they are not interoperable. Users who use UPI in India have a choice of over a dozen payment apps, that work with all banks, and they can send money to any other bank, instantly, 24/7! This is HUGE. Similarly, social networks that allow for portability and interoperability will allow for dozens of different apps that fit specific use-cases, allowing for more internet users, and a greater value to the entire world.

So, we built OG because we thought this was the first step to realize this vision of the social internet that was truly open, portable, and interoperable.
