Ah c'mon gimme something better to chew on, this argument is cake to dismantle. (1) You don't use Monero to buy breakfast. It's for large money transfers so at least compare it to bank wires. (2) Very few people know about Monero yet. Credit cards were at 20K transactions per day at some point. If you know how to look at the chart you linked, you can see the TX count growing sustainably over several years. This is healthy growth, not some SV venture-capital juiced unicorn. (3) There will be very few ultimate winners in the crypto game as far as fungible currencies. It's a more honest comparison to include transaction counts of non-fungible cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH that people are unfortunately using as a currency for now. (4) Monero is just one of a few other legitimate private cryptocurrencies, so include those transaction counts too.

We're rapidly approaching a time where creating electrolysed hydrogen is cheap compared to mining fossil fuels (let alone cracking it and losing a bunch of heat).

Storage may still be a deal breaker for some applications, but if a handful of the many emerging electrolyser technologies commercialise you'll be looking at green hydrogen from the cheap 10am-2pm solar energy for <$1/kg pretty soon. 50c is an optimistic but somewhat realistic estimate by the 2030s

Being able to mix and match that with fossil fuels on existing infrastructure will cut emissions from those activities by >80% during the warmer months (or year round in the tropics)

So one or two insulated turns make a notable difference in vibrations. Pretty neat.

I wrote several Medium articles. But then trying to read other people's articles I hit the free-limit and couldn't read them. I had hoped that even if my articles don't make we money at least they could let me read articles written by others on the same "medium". But it didn't. So I stopped publishing on Medium.

Ah. Thanks.

"Three of the most important functions or operations are: 1) on-chip
storage, 2) parallel search, and 3) matrix multiplication." All of which they claim to be able to do, more or less.*

Storage:

"...we also show that FeD devices can be programmed into 4-bit, distinct, conductive states with superior linearity and symmetry via electrical pulsing."

I think they mean they can distinguish at least 16 different analog levels, not that they are storing 4 discrete binary bits.

On-chip storage is a crossbar array of diodes whose state can be changed. It's a coincident-current addressing system, like old core memory. So you need 2N lines to address N^2 cells.

The two-terminal FeD devices show a diode-
like self-rectifying behavior with ... endurance over 10^4 cycles,

Do they mean 10^4 cycles before it needs to be refreshed, like DRAM, or before it's worn out, like flash?

Search:

Search is more digital. Again, it's a crossbar thing, and all the rows are tested simultaneously.

Multiplication:

"This allows mapping the matrix multiplication operation, a key kernel in neural-network computation, into reading the accumulated currents at each bitline of a FeD device by encoding an input vector into analog voltage amplitudes and the matrix elements into conductances of an array of FeD devices."

Huh. That is an analog multiplier. Unclear how many bits of product you get. Probably 4. Do you get accurate results, after quantizing to 16 levels, or just ones that are reasonably close?

This is fascinating. It's a hybrid computer, something seldom seen in years. What can be done with this architecture is limited, but apparently well matched to what ML people want to do, which is very low precision multiply, add, and search.
Definitely a consideration.

I saw the "clutch" comment above. Something useful can definitely be done. Perhaps both feet together can improve on what is likely a struggle to be useful at first.

Driving comes to mind, and people do have better motor control than they might believe.

One foot for each axis vs both feet on a platform, or leaning into one with heels on the ground could work, and work differently too.

I do not have time right this minute, but I feel building some hardware might be in my future.

This is the sort of thing one needs to try.

In the 90's I modified the code of a spot welder to give me access to many sets of settings with just the foot pedal as input. That's it. Machine offered nothing else, and adding hardware to it was a no-no.

There were three sets of settings, let's call 'em A, B, C.

A quick tap changed settings.

A longer than "quick" tap placed a weld.

Longer than that delivered welds at the same setting in series, spot, spot, spot, etc.

The machine was a 60Hz machine, and each instruction on it's controller took one cycle. Amazingly, it did have a few program flow on foot pedal state type instructions! I remember one could skip a word, jump and basically pause. That might be all of them. Was enough to implement the flow I put above.

It took the shift after I set the code up for me to do it without really thinking about it.

Why do it?

I had several jobs that required parts be handled more than once, and the worst offender needed three settings.

Programming that old controller was like a simple assembly language. Each instruction word had several fields depending on what it did. And the cool part was getting to write the weld! Close electrodes, open or close pressure valve, modulate weld current, loop back to begin, and the like were there.

Doing the three settings job fit into the number of instruction words it could hold, but not by much!

I think feet can do more than we might think, and at least part of this is a design R&D problem.

The rest, if it makes sense at all, is "human didn't do shit with their feet" problem, agreed.
I don't think valve ever tried to do that seriously. Even games checked purchasing status via steam api at startup are usually one dll away from allow it to run completely locally. They don't say them allow it, but don't seem to seriously fight against them either.

I think what they sells are more about services that support the game. For example: you can find l4d2 crack easily. But you are never able to join to the official community server list without a proper purchase.

This was posted here earlier this month, and while it's a cool invention and worthwhile endeavor, it must be noted that this is battery-free because it's powered by sound. The reporting is kind of disingenuous because only the transmission back to the surface is energy-efficient.

This looks nicer your average swamp cooler, but does the same job. With the same limitations. If you live somewhere that gets heat without humidity, and has good access to water, evaporative cooling is something to look into. If heat and humidity come together where you live, you'll need something else.

It depends on the consistency level you set for writing.

If you have 3 nodes, set quorum cl, the write will succeed, because quorum of 3 is at least 2.

If you explicitly require cl of three, and only two nodes answer, write will fail.
EFF is concerned with actual law and legal defense in court, they don't write licensees. They don't have their equivalent of a GPL. Nobody really does as far as I know.

As far as I can tell, there is nobody dealing with whatever the "Free Software" analog would be in a cloud world where you don't own the computer.

GDPR is the best we have, but that only applies in a few selected countries, we don't even have a license version of that that you could slap on your cloud software.

That's just because you haven't internalizes the keypresses so they're second nature. With enough practice most of these operations are practically instant, done before you've had time to move your hand over to the mouse.

Of course the keyword here is "practice". And just using Vim without putting effort into learning these movements doesn't make you good at them, so people using Vim for years/decades without making them second nature and thus prefering the mouse is not too surprising.

Today thinnest laptops are much more than just miniaturization. It reminds me the time when Motorola issued a thinner and thinner razr models just because they didn't have any other innovative idea than "thin".

The moment that all the brands started focusing only on who is the thinnest instead of who has more features that's the point that they just ran out of innovative ideas.

Batteries are like car tires, they are expected to need replacing. Why can't I replace them myself and instead have to send the laptop to the lab? Why can't I decide which brand of batteries I want just like in my car? Maybe I want more powerful batteries or maybe I want lighter batteries.

Another issue is that the unrepairabilty of these laptops harms the environment a lot. Lenovo sells now laptops with 8GB and maybe it's acceptable for some uses. But in a year or two, these laptops will have to be thrown to trash cause you can't upgrade the memory in any way.
As many mentioned here they have fully working laptops for 5 or even 10 years and that's laptops that saved from the need to buy new ones.

I'm a fan of Moment... it's served me well for most of a decade, including in some really heavy scheduling/timetable applications. The size of importing Moment is really fairly negligible for a full-scale single page app. The one drawback I find with it is the overhead for creating new Moment objects. You never want to, for instance, run through a for/next loop of SQL dates and convert each into a Moment for sorting. If you must have them as Moments, you really need to cache once and compare later. Usually in my code I even avoid writing `new Moment()` within a control structure that only needs the current day or hour, and I set up an interval to run permanently in a utility class to just cache a recent Moment every 10 seconds or so, for comparison wherever else it's needed in the code.

That's the only real issue for me with Moment and I'm not sure this lib would change that... especially if I need to extend it for various uses every time it's called, which for me would be a rather large drawback that would end up polluting lots of modules with extra lines of code for specific date comparison purposes.

I remember watching a panel discussion with some CEOs and some industry engineering veterans, I think hosted by NVIDIA, in 2016. The CEOs were saying we'd have self driving cars all over the roads by 2019, and the engineering veterans were saying we'd maybe have partial deployments by 2023. It's interesting that the veterans seem to have made accurate predictions.

I think what we see are CEOs looking to raise funds, and news organizations looking to sell an interesting story that will say "revolutionary tech is just around the corner", but this is motivated reasoning. You're right that this is the same with AI technology, where some people say AGI is just around the corner, whereas some veterans say it may well be decades still, and the truth is we don't know.

So anyway I guess I agree with what you are saying, which is that AI development is difficult to predict and many people make bad predictions. I just wanted to point out that it tends to be people with a motivation to predict rapid growth that tend to produce a lot of these errors. These errors get propagated widely because technology press is one of those groups with this bias. However not everyone makes such bad predictions.
