>I’ve never understood cooking by volume and will reject any recipe that uses it.

Here is the secret: recipes are not all that precise. There is no point getting a caliper out to measure the length of a cinnamon stick when the variation between individual people's tastes is already larger than the variation in the (admittedly humorous) "cup of chopped mint leaves." A recipe will come out fine for large variations in input ingredients, if that wasn't true do you think the standard measuring cup sizes would be 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1?

First I don't think EVs will ever fully replace ICE. There's use cases for gas.

But when I hear about the grid load, I have no pity. Or fear.

Imagine going back to 1800 and describing to an engineer the vast scale of gasoline production, distribution and consumption. Billions of ICEs distributed around the globe. The scale of fuel distribution! The network of trucks. The massive holding tanks. The inshore and offshore refineries. The pipelines and wells. The geopolitics. The strategic reserves, and prodigious tanker fleets. All because we need something everywhere that is only available in a few places.

We can send a rover to Mars for less cost than a prospecting well in the ocean, and there are lots of oil wells in the ocean. Trillions have been spent.

It seems unfathomable to go to such lengths from scratch. To invent and maintain so much, and for what? And we did.

Now imagine all that exists and you just want more. That's not unfathomable. It's just market dynamics. It'll double just fine thanks. It'll more than double.
More nuclear nuclear accidents is exactly what we need to convince the public to use nuclear energy production…
> you're trying to prove a negative. In this cause you're arguing it is "not very lethal".

Not quite: I’m saying that it wasn’t new, notably more virulent or resistant to treatment, or different from earlier samples. I’d really recommend reading the full WaPo article and especially some of the links as they help understand how there just isn’t any reason to believe this claim.

In particular, notice how this sounds:

> If you draw a circle around early Lyme Disease cases, it just happens to be in the middle of that circle.

Every part of that is wrong: those weren’t the earliest cases (unless Wisconsin moved while I wasn’t looking) and the distribution is all over. Once you remove the known untrue portions, we’re left with the far less exciting version:

> A cluster of cases was detected in an area similar to where other clusters were detected. The cases were not unusual in impact or spread, nor especially close to a base which had switched roles decades before.

This is a classic conspiracy theory: there’s no evidence but we’re asked to believe that something with minimal value was attempted, failed completely at its goals but not before leaking, but then was hushed up perfectly for decades by the same group which is supremely good at hiding their traces … except that nobody thought about the possibility civilian medical reports from an escaped bioweapon? There are an infinite number of similar probability scenarios you could dream up but it’s not scientific.
JavaScript frontend dependency hell, for starters.
I don’t think that’s factually correct.

As far as I am aware, most successful movements of this sort win when security forces are no longer willing to fire on them because the crowd includes some of their relatives and friends.

It's easy to convince security forces to return fire, but more difficult to convince them to fire on unarmed civilians.

The primary method for a regime to keep its security forces in line is to ensure their extended families are well-off (this is easier to do if you draw them from a single, government-privileged ethic group).

An hour is kind of worst case. My five year old car clocks in at 40 minutes.

Range is sort of bi-modal. If you want a 150-200 mile car, they exist. The same model will usually do 300 miles for about $7000 more. Personally, since we have two cars, I'd probably go with one low range and one long range vehicle.

I'd further try to arrange for the low range one to be a sports car; smaller battery = better cornering, etc.
What? If I write code and stick it on github or whatever, be glad I let you clone it. But I don't owe you a damned thing. If my users don't like how I maintain the repo, they can fork it and maintain it themselves. Or find a different project.

This is basically a tautology and true for any piece of programmable technology. But, of course, Intel wants to drum up some PR around (quantum-related) software they recently announced.

For the time being, without a doubt, hardware is the gating factor to the success of quantum computers. Theorists and engineers have built a ton of algorithms and software already, waiting to have hardware that performs even just barely sufficiently to handle them.

Road trip stop time with gasoline car: 3 minutes to fill + 15 minutes to go to the bathroom and buy a coffee.

With an EV car: 15 minutes to go to the bathroom and buy a coffee, done in parallel with the charge.

Time spent filling an EV at home: 5 seconds 3x a week = 3 minutes / year.

This skips over one other big way that I’ve always seen JWT implementations fall over - sign out/session invalidation.

A JWT has all the information for verifying its own lifetime contained within it, which is cool in that you don’t need to hit the DB to verify it… until you want to invalidate it before the embedded expiration is hit.

Then you need to hit the database or some cache layer to verify that it isn’t invalidated, and now one of the biggest reasons to use it is gone.

They do mention that for CRUD operations you’ll need to hit the DB anyways, which is in the same vein as this issue tho.

That’s well and good but the result should be that bail out happening as an investment on fair market value (in this case, borderline bankruptcy value) - and now the tax payer owns that firm (perhaps sold off asap at a profit for the tax payer).

If you’re taking bail out dollars, you give up equity just like any other investment to save you. An eminent domain of sorts. Of course, all the usual criminal and civil charges for wrongdoing.

The point being: getting a bailout should be a terrible situation for the company too, there should be no incentive to play so riskily expecting that bailout to save you - if it comes, you might as well have gone under anyways, the result for you as an executive should be the same, but the externalities of firms that are too big to fail are mitigated

> And yet, when I just went to close my Paypal account, I remembered my final use for it was helping out a friend in need who sometimes needed money to cover their bills.

I had a friend in that situation once (sudden emergency), and I used snail mail to send one of those pictures of Benjamin Franklin that are printed by the US Treasury. It worked fine, no internet needed, no crypto, no blockchain, and no scam artist coin exchanges were needed to convert the Ben Franklin back into cash, since it was already cash. It beat Bitcoin in almost every regard, as far as I could tell.
Time to stop digging.
Your right, its definately a loosing battle.
It's worse, they aren't even competent at doing that. I bought a grill from a webstore I found on google shopping that was labeled a "Trusted Store." I hadn't heard of the store before, but I figured if Google is vouching for them, I'll take the risk and cover my bases by using PayPal. If they don't ship me the grill, I won't have to pay right? WRONG.

Turns out the webstore was a scam front. The "seller/scammer" gave me a real Fedex tracking number, but from some other order. It was to my zip code, but it was showing that it was delivered before I ordered, the weight was way too low, the origin was some other business.

The truly concerning part is how PayPal handled it. I wrote a detailed explainatio of the scam, pointing out what they did, and how the contact info on the seller's website was fake. Their automated dispute system instantly declined my dispute merely because the seller/scammer gave them a FedEx tracking number that showed delivery to my zip code. The Paypal website suggests you can file an appeal, but that button was greyed out on my account. If you call, they will literally refuse to talk with you since the "dispute is settled."

The worst part is that this exploit in their dispute system was been public knowledge since at least 2019. You can find all sorts of posts on reddit, paypals own forum, etc. And they still use their broken automated system with no appeal.

Fuck PayPal, that is fraud on their part. They are knowingly aiding and benefiting from fraudulent transactions by rubber stamping it with a broken AI.

I was lucky that I used a credit card with Paypal since I could just dispute the charge with my credit card company. But had I used a linked checking account, I would have been out 1000 dollars because Paypal sided with a scam artists against me in situation where there was no genuine dispute that I was scammed.

Buyer beware on Paypal.

What does fundamentally prevent a battery from being worked on? Finite lifespan applies to anything. Not being modular seems like an odd criteria to impose. Surely you can open a battery and work on its sub-parts. Not allowed to work on it? I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but vast majority of the world does not have the same set of laws and regulations.

"Then don’t - you’re fired."

It's much worse than that. Put simply, at this late juncture, it's fucking outrageous that it happened at all!

When Harry Daghlian died from a criticality accident that occurred in August 1945 he wasn't the first to be in such an accident but he was the first fatality—and he should have been the last: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Daghlian

This accident occurred some 66 years later:

• So what the hell were these irresponsible turkeys trying to prove?

• Why weren't they trained to the extent of developing a negative Pavlovian response at even the thought of carrying out such a dangerous and risky operation?

• Where were the well-established procedures that began with Daghlian's death in 1945 and why weren't they in place and operational at the time?

• What the fuck were the nuclear safety officers doing at the time?

• And what the fuck were their bosses doing to let occupational work conditions have or reach the potential where it was even feasible for such an accident to happen let alone the fact that it did?

The fact that this accident occurred should have had heads rolling all the way from the lab across to the top of DOE because it is the responsibility of everybody in that chain of command to ensure that operating procedures are such that an accident of this kind could never happen. (Such work and operational procedures associated with it should be treated and modeled as a critical system and analyzed as such.)

Incidentally, I've worked in the nuclear industry albeit (very fortunately) never at the level of ever having to handle Pu under those conditions, nevertheless I've sufficient knowledge of regulations to know that what happened here was well outside the bounds of all normal procedures and operations.

Simply, it just shouldn't have been possible for this to happen—and even if through some force majeure—Act of God—that it was possible and that it was likely to happen then the fact that 'interlock procedures' didn't automatically drop into place as a default backup protection tells me something has seriously gone wrong with the administration of this Los Alamos lab.

Auth isn't "hard" per se, but it's still a big struggle because there's just so much to implement.

For example, one of the most common attacks today is "credential stuffing," which is simply the practice of taking leaked credentials and trying them on other websites.

Protection against this is arguably trivial: implement HaveIBeenPwned and a rate limiter, and create a mechanism to update the password when credentials leak.

But that's a lot of work, it can take a lot of tuning to get the rate limiter right, the UX/UI for updating passwords is time consuming, etc, etc.

And that's just one piece of authentication security – there are so many described in NIST 800-63B.

And then there's also the challenge of keeping up with user preferences - Sign in with Google, SAML, Touch ID, magic links, etc, etc. This seems to be fragmenting rather than consolidating.

Obviously biased, but all-in-all, I think you're better off sticking with a service than pulling it in-house, even if you stay with one of our competitors :)
> Having hardware floating-point is something that is orthogonal with being RISC. ... Also the width of the registers is something orthogonal with being RISC.

Agreed, but it's not orthogonal with being simple. You said, "Before IBM 801, there have been many simple CPUs,...they would have been called RISC". My reason for bringing up those points about the 6600 was to show that, however RISCy it may have been, it was anything but simple. So which machines did you mean if not the 6600?

(I don't think that it was very RISCy, given the non-orthogonality of its register set. You are probably right that its non-orthogonal register file simplified its implementation significantly, but it's a distinctly non-RISC feature. But whether such a complex machine, perhaps the most complex in the world at the time and certainly the fastest, was RISCy or not, has no bearing on whether there were simple CPUs that would have been called RISC.)

I don't think it's accurate to say that the early RISC projects (the 801, the MIPS, and the RISC) had a large register set to allow the fast execution of the instructions despite the high latency of the loads from memory, although it was true of the 6600. Rather, as I understand it, it was to speed up the instruction decoding, permit pipelining, and reduce the required bandwidth of the loads from memory. Zero-wait-state memory was still a thing in workstations up to the 90s; there was no latency of loads from memory.

Now you seem to be saying that you don't think there were any pre-801 load-store architectures except the 6600. That sounds dangerously close to the assertion that there weren't any pre-801 RISCs. But, as I understood it, your thesis that I was debating was that there were not just one but many pre-801 RISCs, and that moreover they were simple, but that they weren't called "RISC" because the term hadn't been invented.

Did I misunderstand? Did you change your mind? If not, what were these simple pre-801 RISCs, and what RISC characteristics did they have?

I run a free weekly writing newsletter that I would recommend!

There is some short fiction, but most of the issues are about writing itself. Eg, a series of posts on “rhythm” in fiction.

You can have your cake and eat it. In place of "Bubba" Google's DeepMind can operate the site safety by A.I. supervision and guidance, and Tesla Optimus bots can work to rule as if they are on Mars but are actually in the dangerous labs and the workplan has been checked thoroughly well before. Investors behind Alphabet and Tesla get a profitable payoff for realising a better world as God intends. Workers get to go home to their families. The U.S. Navy lost LHD-6 to fire two years ago, the culture of safety is unevenly spread.
I use crypto as a consumer so that I can self-custody a form of electronically transmissible currency.

Are normal bank transfers not a thing in the USA?
Not really true if you use an access/refresh token system. The access token doesn't hit the DB for auth, the refresh token does. You have an access token with a lifetime of say somewhere between 1-10 minutes. If you want to invalidate a session, you just revoke the refresh token and any access tokens will be invalid soon after. In a system where a user is making 10+ requests in a minute, that can be well worth it to reduce stress on the DB without an appreciable loss in security.
This is nonsense, and typical layman logic when it comes to matters involving abandoned property and theft when on another premises. It is not even remotely inline with reality. In almost any jurisdiction in the US, one has legal recourse when someone takes their money or property. Whether it's in the other's control or not, it's still just as equally defined as theft.
Cost of an engine is upwards of 10k and all it takes for an engine failure is skipping a few oil change cycles. An EV battery lasts just as long without having to be maintained as much and when it fails it costs around 6k and in 5 years probably half that amount.

I'm not a lawyer, but I know from personal experience that California disallows liquidated damages for rental late fees that exceed actual damages (prorated interest). Plenty of landlords illegally collect late fees, but you can either not pay or sue them in small claims and recover the cost. There may even be some kind of statutory punitive damages for putting illegal late fees in a contract as there is for illegal non-competes, but again I'm not a lawyer. While California government is dysfunctional in many ways, at least the law there favors employees and renters more than any other state that I know of.
