I am not a scientist, but I dream of being one: Does the decrease in nuclear energy production by Germany get completely offset by the increase in nuclear production and enrichment by France? Thereby making Germany’s decision to shut down their nuclear plants moot?
I don't know if that's a bargain after the shortage and pricing disaster in the recent years. Looks like I am going to skip another 10 years until I buy anything with Nvidia on it.

Thanks for the clarification. I never heard of rigged in either math or physics.

I've tried to understand quantum mechanics, but apparently I keep getting YouTube MIT lectures and books that make a mess out of the subject. E.g., they keep saying that the wave functions, which are differentiable, form a Hilbert space. No they don't: They fail completeness. I have no patience with that crap-ola.
> Is Tesla so far ahead of competition that they are all trying to copy their playbook a decade after?

I'm not sure Tesla is "far ahead" of the competition, so much as they announce stuff earlier and attract more hype and fanfare. (Compare Cybertruck to the Silverado EV, for example -- Tesla was years earlier in announcement and parties, but only a few months off from each other in likely actual ship date. Similarly, Tesla has been announcing/mentioning the 'Model 3' as their 'affordable family car' as far back as like 2008, but the Bolt EV actually shipped in late 2016, and the comparable Tesla Model 3 didn't ship until mid 2017).

In terms of "why enter the energy business", it's an easy "nearly freebie" line of business if your building EV's already. (Like how Starbucks slowly added food to their menu, as McDonalds slowly added fancy coffees). Nissan, for example, launched the Leaf EV in 2010, and has been dabbling in home energy since at least 2015 or so.

> Are there any late mover advantages GM has here?

GM has a fleet of support infrastructure in place, as well as trustworthy guarantees on replacement parts and service. Tesla historically has done the opposite, preferring a more Apple-like proprietary parts and vertically-integrated labour network.

That difference may not matter much on consumer electronics, but when your buying 10+yr long vehicles or bolting things to your house with 20+ yr lifespan expectations, it may factor in a lot more.
I honestly don’t believe the web as we know it today will exist in 30 years. The internet will, and browsers will, but we are headed toward a future of completely walled gardens and proprietary protocols. The web will probably live on as an “underground” thing akin to Tor today. But commercial use will probably cease.

Definitely a big bargain:

> When a standalone GPU is as large as a modern video gaming console—it's nearly identical in total volume to the Xbox Series S and more than double the size of a Nintendo Switch—it's hard not to laugh incredulously at the thing.
Yeah your advice is for people to be more careful. That's one way that works a bit. And normally is what you come to with therapists.
Then there is also a way to be more wild, not take things to serious and push further. That's a narrative that's very powerful but missing very much lately.
> However, come to think of it, one might want to give everyone some carbon credit or travel points, and then develop a market in it.

This already exists, but the problem is that carbon credits are nearly impossible to regulate (it's very hard to prove that some carbon-reducing initiative isn't counted toward two distinct carbon credit programs or that the carbon is even reduced as promised). It's hard to do the accounting correctly for honest participants, which pretty much guarantees fraud among less honest participants.

This is the exact book the myth is based on. Here’s a debunk of the book: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...

It’s pretty simple: the book doesn’t mean “white” like white, you know the actual definition of the word. It means “white: having the most rights”, which isn’t the definition at all and is deliberately misleading. It pretends like being white a priori makes one immune from discrimination.

Irish people were always considered white, they were also discriminated against more than anglo-Saxons. Both of these are true. The only reason this would be hard to comprehend is if you have the warped view that American history is just white supremacy (clearly many whites didn’t have it so good).
Your choice of tools always depends on the use case. If you're only going to be creating these archives for internal use, or will be exchanging them/reading them on modern Unix-like systems, then there is no worry about the decompressor not supporting LZMA. If you need to exchange files with feature-poor systems, then yes - stick to the de-facto standard.

Besides, what "better" archiving format are you going to use? Tar clearly isn't one (the great... grandparent comment wouldn't be asking for alternatives if it were). "Defacto standard" ZIP files have a poor compression ratio. 7z feels strange to use in a professional setting or for long-term storage. RAR is a closed-source abomination. Are there any other "better" archiving formats that have wider (de)compressor adoption than ZIP+LZMA?
Just adding another data point here, but for those who game on a PC, the GPU market was upside down for a while. It was cheaper to buy, say a Dell XPS, than build your own PC for a period of time.

Then prices plummeted, and all returned to normal. Not sure if it plays much of a factor, but it did for me when I was determining whether or not to buy or build.
I do believe most of the current VMM apps - Virtualbox, Parallels, VMWare - that run on Intel Mac do offer their own custom hypervisor solution mostly tapping on to "Intel Virtualization solution" ( https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/virtualization/virtu... ) through kernel extensions and / or the macOS hypervisor framework (which I think avoids kernel extension). This is possible because Intel is more "open" and readily shares their hardware literature / SDKs with developers and that is why we have had many custom, decent and performant hypervisor solution on Intel Macs. But Apple has been loathe to release similar literature for their ARM SoCs because they don't want independent competitive alternatives to their system softwares (which is ok up to a point to protect their business, but not if it crosses into illegal anti-competitive behaviour).

Apple has great developers and they can surely build a decent hypervisor API solution. But we'll never know if it is the best if no custom alternates are allowed (either due to lack of hardware literature or due to Apple policies restricting such custom alternatives).

In my own experience I am 50 years old today. I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes / metabolic syndrome with an A1C of 5.7.-(borderline). weight was 189 pounds. 2 years ago. I started IF. Giving up breakfast then slowly giving up lunch and now eating OMAD ( one meal a day). your BODY WILL get used to eating less. IF worked for me. It seems the MAIN problem is NOT total calories, I read a book by Gary Taubes called "the case for keto." I don't know about bio chem but in the book he said it is not the calories you eat but rather the type of food / calorie. MAIN problem is simple carbs / Sugar. ( slow carbs are veggies) . Simple carbohydrates spike insulin and the harmone insulin is the problem it stores fat. Exercise will just make you hungry. I do exercise , i enjoy running in a fasted state 4-5 miles a way and i do bodyweight muscle building training too. I am no longer pre-diabetic and A1C is normal. But i still gotta keep an eye on it. I dropped weight and and getting used to the keto diet + IF. We have a family history of diabetes in my family. ( dad. brothers. ) all have it and they are on meds. Doctor do not tell you about diet they just put them on Metaformin. I am 2 years on IF and keto and it worked for me. I weigh 165 now. All my blood work is back to normal. Main problem are the simple carbs and frequency of eating. Look around you we live in a carb word / sugar ads everywhere. It is VERY VERY hard to stay away from simple / carbs / sugar but you can do it. Eating healthy is NOT CHEAP either. I do tell my family to try IF and or keto but they are addicted to carbs and are all on metaformin or some diabetic meds. - 2 cents
AI Jobs' comments on the emergence of spirituality from the Indian subcontinent and his belief that intuitive knowledge is as real as scientific knowledge sounds like something he absolutely would have said.
The problem is - can the potential ever be realised?

Self-driving cars are, what, 90% of the way there? And have basically been stuck at "almost there" for quite some time.

AR had huge potential when I first played with it in the early 2000s. Still basically nowhere.

So we've now got systems which can generate text which fools people into thinking it was written by a human - well, Eliza got there first.

Text to speech? The Voder was doing that in 1939! This stuff is better, sure, but pretty far from being realistic.

Perhaps this will succeed. But potential doesn't always mean achievable.

It may help you to have a more firm grasp of how a type system and its value language interact. Which is important in understanding any language with a sophisticated type system, Rust included. But it'll be fairly marginal, I suspect.
Now looks like a computer toy and yet, it's a perfect way for many anti-human agendas to use it as psy-weapon that slowly makes the population to loose more ties to reality and get closer to the normalization of alienating itself. A whole new level of mass-mad potential.

Dating apps do not work because you are not actually present. You have the attention of hundreds of people at the same time, so unless you decide to meet up right away, the other party immediately loses interest. Most of the people are just looking for sex or something less serious, and the apps heavily paywall males. They are cancer.

Meeting through friends is probably the safest, as that at least gives you some safety that you arent meeting up with someone completely nuts.

Personally I met my date through a bar though.
The linked repo is a protocol lib for dhcp written in Rust, internally we are working on a dhcp server but it is not open sourced at the moment. It is a ground up rewrite of dhcp, it does not share code with ISC DHCP.
Homeless people in US, in particular in cities like SF, are a perfect tool to raise money. SF's budget of >1bn USD means a ton of grift.

NGOs of all sorts descend on this money pile, with zero incentive to actually reduce homelessness - if they did, the money tap would dry up.

It is a self-reinforcing loop until the actual government steps in and resolves the matter. Very "unpopular" in this weirdly lefties/libertarian society.

I assume the use of orwellian, and the attempt at bringing in political correctness probably raised some flags.

OkCupid was awesome.

Can someone please make another one? We need a site dedicated to Test Taking! OkCupid wasn't just about dating; it was about the tests you could create and take. It was awesome.

The dating was also based on tests and archetypes OkCupid created and they were pretty good. We need something pure like that from the early 2000s.
Steam deck is fantastic, and that's probably selling it short. I'm not quite all in on it yet, but I use it extensively. Especially with a USB-C dock on my TV. It's like the Switch, only better, because I have access to PC-only games.
The gaming library follows the market. Just because Nvidia released a high-end GPU with an extremely high-end MSRP doesn't mean that game studios will develop games for it, because most users will not be able to afford a $1600 GPU to run those games.

Nvidia started development on this card before the crypto crash. This card made sense for a market in which users expected to be able to spend money to make money, it does not make sense for a market in which

The Steam hardware survey says that only 0.52% of users have an RTX 3090[1]. Pasting the data [2] into a spreadsheet, some quick selection groups say that more than half of all Steam users have hardware older or less powerful than a 1080. They've all been priced out; why would you build a game that most users can't play?

I don't think the issue is journalists are not real journalists. The issue is that media, especially in America, is a private enterprise and is largely owned by two people. And people like collecting paychecks, so you do what your told. How many of us on HN are for privacy, but yet work in Silicon Valley writing the code that violates that same privacy? I'd wager quiet a few. And it is because we all need an income stream. Being an indie dev works for some, but not most.

This is such a great idea. And for me it goes even beyond being able to exploit the intellect of deceased geniuses. It could be the path to generating believable AI personas out of everyday people. If sufficiently accurate know I would love to have an AI with my father's advice and sense of humor once he is no longer with us.
Yup makes sense. From what I've read, the switch to relying on more starch in our diets played a big role and that's a population that very much relied on a select few primary crops

It's important to remember that hunter gatherers had much more diverse diets than agriculturalists (and therefore also much better food stability). I would posit that any member of a primarily agricultural society had terrible teeth. But we generally see this less in non-agricultural diets

That being said, when you have Inuit people eating mostly meat with moss being a major plant source and Ryukyuan people turning an extremely poisonous plant (cycads) into everything from flour to alcohol, it's important to note that ANY generalization about human diets (and the health outcomes heavily affected by those diets) is hard to generalize
I run this setup. zfs + zfsnap (not cron anymore, now systemd.timer).

I cannot tell if NILFS is doing this too, with zfsnap I maintain different retention times. 5-minutely for 1hour, hourly for 1day, daily for a week. That are less than 60 snapshots. The older ones are cleaned up.

In addition, zfs brings compression and encryption. That's why I have it on the laptops, too.
So, you are losing 5 lbs a month. The maximum safe weight loss rate is about 1-2lbs per week. Congrats on sticking with it!

I strongly suggest basic strength training if you are not doing it already. I lost 20lbs on a vegan calorie restricted diet and was obviously weaker / more injury prone afterwards.

That was double-stupid of me, but you are probably losing muscle and lowering your base metabolism unless you are doing something to compensate.

Exercise bands with handles are the best bang for the buck. See my other comments.
I also could never motivate myself to do exercise, like running or going to the gym. What I found that works for me are:

- Doing brisk walks, either when you are going somewhere, or if you don't need go somewhere, just around the block. And yes, brisk walking is also exercise =)

- VR gaming (e.g. Beat Saber gets your heart rate up alright, or if you need more, I can recommend boxing or dedicated fitness games, but the latter are again boring to me).

- Yoga at home (I can recommend Yoga with Adriene on YouTube) - going to actual Yoga classes never worked for me, but doing at home works amazingly well

- Hiking - being out in nature feels great and depending on the level of hike, this can be amazing exercise

Welcome to the era of Psy-Weapons of Mass Madness.
I didn’t see this mentioned but I think something critically important is the domain itself. How to guarantee 30 years of domain control? I think the longest Go Daddy will let you register your domain is maybe 10 years.

Either way, you would need to make sure the domain is tied to a payment process that will continue to renew it.

There is also ICANN verification updates that someone has to go in and verify.

That means contact information has to be up-to-date, and you don’t get hit with a UDRP violation.

Therefore I suppose the result is to first set up a trust that will last for 30 years to pay an outside lender to make sure that the domain is always up-to-date and pointed in the right direction.
The PS5 is indeed good value; until you buy 8.

The 4090 clocks in at an incredible 80tflops. Compared to the 10tflops of the PS5's GPU. Now compare that to a Nintendo Switch at about 1tflop if we are being generous.

Still I wish it wasn't so large or hot.
Term length matters since we have only a few decades to decarbonize. Moreover, bouyancy doesn't require energy to generate lift, so you can't make a naive "is it more efficient to sail across metal or lift into the air" comparison.
Early OKCupid was amazing, their matching algorithm was spot on. I had a similar experience, and matched with my wife there after only a handful of other dates. The craziest part- she had made a profile, and we’d matched, but she wasn’t ready to date at the time and deleted her profile. A couple months later she remade it and we matched again! Neither of us realized we were the same people until after we had started dating and talked about previous messages we’d sent out. So their matching was definitely legitimate. We were a 92% match on OKCupid. It’s 11 years later and we’re still happy as 2 clams! OKCupid was the most meaningful website in my entire life, because it helped me find my lifelong partner, and I never paid them a cent.

The books don't need to balance now: there can be a shortfall. That, however, is more of an accounting artefact (the books are not balanced now, but it is going to be ok in 30 years if the stocks outperform as expected).

The problem is that as rates fall, the shortfall increases. That's still just an accounting artefact, but it looks bad. To mitigate the bad look, the funds entered real hedges, which are now (with rates moving the opposite way) blowing up.

So, my understanding is that the funds took a real and unnecessary risk to mitigate what was basically just "bad optics".

One thing that grates on me is when people say science "proves" X. Or and A/B test "proves" Y. Science never proves anything, it provides evidence for the existence of some phenomenon or relationship. People need to repeat this to themselves whenever they are tempted to say the word "prove": Some arbitrarily complex hypothesis can also explain all of my evidence. Said in plain language, there is always another possibility.
