None of these points make any sense to me.

For as long as the war goes on, Germany will buy as much US gas as it can get its hands on, to the exclusion of Russian gas, as best it can and regardless of price. US energy companies aren't going to benefit more.

Furthermore, say what you will about Biden, but his gradual approach to sanctions at the beginning of the war shows that he's been trying to end things diplomatically from the start. Go back and read news articles from March about the war hawks in Congress shrieking that Biden wasn't being aggressive enough. See also the withdrawal from Afghanistan; Biden's not a hawk.

Furthermore, right now the US's premier geopolitical goal is to assert its hegemony via weakening Russia. For that, it needs NATO solidarity, which is at an all-time high. A weakened German resolve due to freezing weather would threaten to enrich Russia, but would not otherwise break NATO's resolve; the rest of the sanctions would continue unabated. After all, Germany has still already been buying gas from Russia all this time. But backstabbing an ally would shake NATO's resolve, if it were discovered. It's all downside and no upside for the US. It would be an irrational desperation move, and the US is not currently desperate.

I don't know who did this. Weirdly, I don't think it was Russia either; Putin may be acting erratically, but I think there would be ways to sow discord among NATO with less cost to Russia than this. We need more information.
>There simply was no economically viable alternative

This was the lie that German politicians propagated after having been compromised. The obvious reality is Nuclear is economically and environmentally viable.
I'm actually considering upgrading to 5800x or 5800x3d as a cheap temporary upgrade since the newest generation (which I initially planned on) just seems too expensive given the need for new DDR5, and new very expensive motherboards which will likely need at least another year to mature. So far I've been leaning towards the pretty cheap 5800x (280e vs 450e for 5800x3d) since the difference actually doesn't look that big for real workloads (and since it's an upgrade for a shorter than usual timeframe). Is the 5800x3d actually 60% better in non-gaming to be worth it? If not (as it seems to me) I'm not sure why waiting for the next 3d specifically makes sense.
We just checked out Neocities, the revival of Geocities, this week for our blogging purposes.

> Indeed this angle I think is the right direction. It's a bit like Cortez burning the boats. Removing me from power won't mean that you get to go back to business as usual and sell gas to Europe.

I thought about it, too. But even this hypothesis has a weak point: the Yamal pipeline is still working well. So this is a moot point: if the generals or whoever decide to kill Putin and takeover, they will be able to resume sending the gas through Yamal immediately.
The issue here isn't the money in a direct sense. People in the real world do worse jobs for less money, yes. But those jobs aren't intermediated by some benefactor who essentially treats human beings like lab rats.

Prostitution may be grueling but people generally do it to pay the bills in a trivial sense. Being put into some sort of alternate reality where you are being treated and experimented on like a video game character, to an audience who also probably perceives you as a virtual source of entertainment deserves to be looked at through a different lens than just bucks/hour made. It's a sort of low stakes hunger games where rich patrons throw people into an arena for their fun and benefit. The Mr Beast content could be its own Black Mirror episode.

And it's terrifying not despite but because the money isn't even that relevant. There's probably people who would do that stuff for free just to meet Mr Beast or get five minutes of online attention.
We were at Disney World Orlando and decided to leave Tuesday night to drive back. I've heard about the Waffle House Index, but I didn't see a site to show closings concisely. This was built mostly on the car ride home. I'd love some feed back. It's a fun little project.
People don't like confronting the idea we are violent tribal primates barely above chimpanzees, who conspicuously are also violent tribal primates. The only thing these companies are doing is holding a mirror to our society, and we really don't like the reflection.
Go and measure it yourself, if you have one :)

https://github.com/Mysticial/Flops/

You can also get a theoretical computation of the Flops, which matches nicely with the experimental measurement. You have to take into account:

- the clock frequency (~3.9 GHz on multithreaded workloads on my machine)

- the number of cores (16)

- the reciprocal throughput of the FMA instruction (~.5, that is, 2 instructions per clock cycle)

- the number of flops per instruction (2 for the FMA instruction, that is, 1 multiply + 1 add)

- the SIMD vector width (4 for double, 8 for float).

Putting it together:

3.9e9 * 16 * 2 * 2 * 4 = 998.4 GFlops (double)

3.9e9 * 16 * 2 * 2 * 8 = 1996.8 GFlops (single)

The measured values on my machine are a bit different, but close (1070 and 2151 respectively).

> However, OP has talked to humans, and apparently those humans--with access to more info than we have here--believe OP to be a scammer. (Or don't care enough to act.)

Not every human has equal knowledge, training, and authority to resolve problems. Since I have no clue of the inner-workings of Apple's support centers, I can only give reasonable speculation. How do call centers in big corporations generally work?

The employees (or contractors) are low-ranking members and without much leeway or authority to do anything other than what they're trained to do. They're usually professional enough and probably want to help people, but they're typically only trained and authorized to assist with common tasks they basically have a "script" for: maybe telling you when your order is going to ship or helping you reserve an appointment for a repair, common things like that. If your customer service request fits within the box of common tasks that they're trained and authorized to help with, you're likely good. But if your request is uncommon and they haven't been trained to help you with that, then even this human contact is useless. Maybe they're specifically trained that when they see the word "fraud" on an account profile, that they can't do anything else, and don't even know that a false positive can exist.

It's very easy to see how even with human contact, a circumstance might have been engineered where an unlucky person can slip through the cracks.

> but insinuating that Apple is a criminal entity seems a bit much.

If it's the case that a corporation uses an algorithms that they know could lead to false positives that steals peoples' money, and doesn't provide genuine human support (meaning actual managers and supervisors with authority and training to really investigate a case, not a low-ranking call-center employee with no training or ability to help) then yeah I'd say that they're behaving like a criminal entity.

The caveat here is that I don't know the real details of this case, and I don't know how Apple's customer service staff are trained and operate.
If its bi directional then we have a game changer (not sure what the game is though ;))

Easier if you go the SaaS heavy, all in one route.

It's a hellscape if you want to DIY it end to end though, which OP's article covers very well. What he doesn't spend any time on is how long it takes to get a proper "Hello, World!" at yourdomain.com without you being warned about using an insecure website.

At a minimum in most cases you need:
* a server, configured to serve your hello world and present your identity
* domain name
* DNS records pointed to your domain
* SSL cert of some kind, probably issued by lets encrypt for something like this (creating a certificate authority is a project in itself)
* reverse proxy if you are interested in serving over http+https

Each of these can be done rather quickly once you are familiar or blindly following a guide, but reasoning about what each part is doing is very time consuming.
Greece can take the Parthenon marbles and pave roads with them if they want. Egypt can use the Rosetta Stone as a coffee table. The Imperial West is not entitled to the cultural wealth of other peoples, to steal their artifacts, or dig up their dead to put in little glass cases, or to grind up and eat, as the Victorians used to do to Egyptian mummies. Cultural exchange can be legitimately given between friends and allies, but not taken.

Having lost several hours once trying to set up Arduino.mk properly, I would strongly recommend not using anything suggested there and opting for a Makefile calling arduino-cli and normal c++-mode, alongside arduino-language-server.
I always find it funny when people bring up Kotlin in the context of Java's evolution. It's not one of Java's main competitors, and while Java has borrowed many features from other languages [1], to date it has not adopted a single feature from Kotlin [2]. In fact, almost at every turn -- from data classes, through async/await, to string interpolation (JEP 430) -- Java has opted for a different approach. Is Kotlin the only other language they know?

But I don't think you're entirely wrong to suggest that competition had something to do with this. Python is one of Java's main competitors, and when it comes to teaching a first language it is the main competitor. Both students and teachers who prefer Python as a first language mentioned this "on-ramp" problem as one of the reasons. There are others, and they will be addressed by other enhancements.

[1]: Java's "charter" calls for it being a last mover, adopting features after they've been successfully used elsewhere

[2]: Although there is one I hope it would one day -- nullability types.

Where I've seen this turn into an argument is when people disagree about whether authorization info is "sensitive." Is it okay to send a list of roles or other authorization info in an unencrypted JWT? Security-wise this seems like it adds risk, but people often argue that it's a good trade-off in order to avoid a round-trip to an auth server (probably with a caching layer in front) for every call.
My kid made me listen to the whole joe rogan interview with him. It was very insightful. Maybe rogan isn't "an experienced interviewer with knowledge of the business world/startups" in some people's mind, but I thought he covered many issues well.

> Why do they even start with auch things?

Because somebody is happy to give you money for it. That somebody might themselves be getting money from someone else for such a project.

It doesn't have to be viable or lead to a successful business. If you can live the "founder lifestyle" and get a decent salary for yourself and your friends while bolstering your resume (since such failures aren't seen as bad by the industry), a lot of people will be happy to do it.

This happens very frequently in software/SaaS startups but there's no reason it can't happen with physical things.
That someone has written that before doesn't make it true. The "World Wide Web" was invented at CERN but that happened in the LEP era. LHC has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Not everything is the same in the context of this discussion: one may think that LEP was good, and even that LHC was good when it was approved, built and put in place and also think that it's a waste of resources now.

I'm also tinkering my Kobo to have Kiwix actually run into it directly (I modded mine with a 256GB MicroSD) and have a copy of Wikipedia in my hands from an extremely low-powered device.

It's not like I think the first iteration of superintelligent AGI will necessarily be an existential threat. The problem is really the law of large numbers. When you have N separate militaries and M separate companies all with their own agenda, stretched out over X years (where X is thousands, mind you), there is a lot of scope for >= 1 of these groups going the way I described -- effectively creating a new species that's smarter than us and that can function in the real world. Many of these groups would have an incentive to do that, because such agents are useful for certain tasks.

> Also, it would have to get a job to pay its AWS bill.

Inference power costs are low now on agents that are better than humans at Chess and Go. It isn't going to be an issue after another 20-100 years of further R&D and optimizations. Nothing about the history of computing should tell us that this will be a big limiting factor.
hi! thanks for your comment. which inequality is the wrong direction?
I don’t know Russian. Your point doesn’t line up with the topic at all. I know Ruby. I still think it’s unreadable. Can you try next time?

I feel incredibly sorry for the poor kids you teach. They will be suffering aftereffects for the rest of their lives.

I feel bad that your account hasn’t been flagged for your behaviour on here. For someone who thinks they understand Ruby so well, you certainly haven’t taken any time to understand the rules. Personal attacks? Really? You just showed your cards. Weak arguments are followed with weak ad hominem.

It’s not just me, no one is teaching Ruby to kids because it’s not a good language for readability. Take it up with all of the teachers who see it just as I do.
Adding compute is easy. Coming up with algorithmic advances is anywhere from hard to impossible.
Lower stakes might be a good thing.

You did not specify Southern Baptist church members, which I am sure form a part of the entire set of conservatives in the US but do not solely comprise it.

Please try to think clearly, I don't have time to correct all of your statements.

So, few disagreements with that article.

First, why does he discard the idea that nuclear power plants can be fully financed by the state, as RTE assumed in their report (in which nuclear came out slightly cheaper)? EDF is getting renationalised currently, and honestly financing from private markets something as expensive, crucial and with such a long life doesn't make much sense. A Nuclear Power Plant can operate for many decades (50+ years easily), so even if it breaks even in 40 years, that's completely acceptable for a state and it's budget. Private investors, and private financing, would like returns much easier.

Second, the elephant in the room - not all MWh are equal. When they are produced, and the load factor. Onshore wind, which the author mentions as cheaper, doesn't produce at 100% all the time. Solar is even worse, because at best it could produce energy during half the day. Both are subject to weather, like the few months of clouds and low winds we had last autumn all across Western Europe. To even them out, you either need luck, or storage, lots of it. Price that in, over a 50 year lifespan, and i very much doubt it will come out cheaper.

What if the person isn't mentally ill, but doesn't reliably have enough to eat to survive adequately, and can get it by fighting for the entertainment of others (who do have plenty to eat, and more to spare).

Is that ethical, because it's a rational cost-benefit analysis?

There are few people in the US who don't have enough to eat to fuel their bodies, but in other countries there are more. I am not trying to describe the particular people in "bumfights", who I don't know, but hypothetically working the boundaries of this analysis.

I also don't in fact think that people can be divided, in binary fashion, into those who are "rational" and "not rational".

It seems pretty clear to me that enticing desperate people to fight each other, for the entertainment of others who find their desperation emotionally engaging, and for the profit of the promoters -- is unkind and disrespectful and an attack on their dignity. Even if they are not "mentally ill." It seems hard to argue otherwise. Is it how you would treat a relative or friend? To hypothetically say, well, sure it's unkind and disrespectful and an assault on their dignity, and I wouldn't do it to someone I loved, but it's not unethical to do to make a buck or a laugh -- what is the point of "ethics", then, exactly?

Why is it childish to want a life in which you don’t need to labor to have everything you need to be happy? It’s childish to think that human beings are born worthy of a happy peaceful safe life? Why do we need to earn those things? Are they not inherent within us?

The "IP changes" is a common fallacy - even the mobile IP depend on the datacenter(s) process it. There is no grantee there will be a designated aliasing, and effectively there could be multiple IPs for the same client interleaving.
Yep, the existence of the incentive is undeniable, the question is why is this an incentive when it leads to cancerous growth within organisations, and is generally detached from any specific business outcome.

The author seemed to deliberately avoid making value judgements of this sort until it compared to traditional reality media where there are more guardrails built in.
