Air conditioning is a large load in summer and can be shifted many hours with thermal storage. This can be as simple as precooling a building before a predicted price spike, exploiting the building's mass as a thermal store.
> the team lead would make it a point to trivialize anything the person who left had worked on

That guy ^ is a jerk. Also, you have to consider that in many areas, a lot of people know each other and talk to each other. So it's both morally and practically wrong to downplay somebody's work. And really, there's no reason to - one has to be a completely insecure ass to consider somebody else doing a good job being some kind of a threat to them. I'd say if anything, err on the side of more praise and recognition - after all, what the worst that could happen? They won't get promoted instead of you - they already left anyway! And if people see that you are willing to give credit when the credit is due - both your credit and your complaints, if it becomes necessary, will be take seriously.
To evaluate these chances, one has to understand what “suffering” is. It may (or may not) be purely evolutional thing which cannot be easily reproduced in a dish. Perhaps the whole thing is a plague that only emerges in/for natural-life conditions. While the configuration space is likely(?) almost infinite, the natural selector is only one.
> The nuclear plant can be relied upon to produce its full rated 1.2GW 24/7/365 absent maintenance periods scheduled well in advance.

Yes. That is exactly what is happening in france.

If you are willing to spend $23000/kW you can get a wholly renewable + storage system with 5 or 6 9s of uptime in months rather than decades vs. best case of 93% for nuclear. You'll also get 10kW net or so of variable power on top of your guaranteed 1kW.
Is there an LSP that allows refactoring Python code like PyCharm?

I haven't found any other tools that does simple things like extracting a function, renaming or inlining variables. For example, vscode's Python support is terrible.
Or this was a warning from the US, to ensure obedience from the European countries.

Why is it so hard to believe many of us Europeans find it far more plausible that the US did it? Especially after all the sanctions, coups, invasions and proxy wars, now right on our doorstep.
Looks great but I'm a bit turned off by the lack of keyboard. I know I could just use a Bluetooth or USB wireless one but I think part of me fetishizes having something like an iPad with software I don't hate.
Would you like the job to be a painful surprise?

I've had nice cushy dev roles where I had all the time I wanted and other support-adjacent roles where I felt like I was working surrounded by screaming toddlers - expected to sit on an incident response bridge while diagnosing and fixing things.

I'm glad they told me what the role was like before I took it. The interview was friendly and casual, but involved a few people asking me to diagnose something and just cutting off "failed" paths and giving me the next bit of info, asking what that would imply and what we should test, to estimate how long it would take. If they'd de-stressed the interview the people they hired probably wouldn't be capable of or interested in the position. If they'd crumpled paper it would have helped by mimicking all the background noise from thirty unmuted phone calls.

I hear these roles often involve coding in a boardroom meeting with a few quants and a few engineers, going back and forth with the model and performance issues. If this was done by email it could take weeks and the opportunity could be gone. If you aren't able to keep hacking at your task while the other handful of people are enthusiastically discussing another then you aren't going to be able to help the team.
I love all the good work that The Satanic Temple does, that's why I decided to join last year.
The old taxation=theft trope grows a bit tired...and frankly, I say this as someone who leans libertarian. At the end of the day, businesses derive value through infrastructure and in some cases, even regulation, without which the income streams being taxed would not be as readily available. Do I love the systems by which taxes are decided upon, or how the money is often allocated? Absolutely not. But taxes on income that benefits from the caretakers of the environment in which a business operates are no more theft than is operating such a business without compensating those who are caretakers of said environment.

Now, you can absolutely argue that the taxes being imposed or suggested are unnecessarily high, or perhaps that most of the money being levied is being squandered on things that those paying see no benefit from (which perhaps one could argue is theft, but that last part is crucial), and I'd not argue one bit with you in many cases. I'll be the first to say that the use of Western tax dollars in Ukraine is an absolute slap in the face for the taxpayers who see no benefit therefrom, and who had nothing to do with the coups that led to the war in the first place.

But taxation in and of itself isn't theft, any more than property, in and of itself, is theft. As long as the left and right just keep shouting "THIEF!" at each other, we don't really have any hope of getting anywhere.
Ah yes, the "nothing can happen for the first time" argument. Such tendentious and mindless reactionary conservatism.

I suspect that even well-meaning articles like this does society a disservice when it characterizes war as horrifying. People are not afraid of horror; people believe they can handle it. People watch horror movies. Calling war horrifying is still, in a way, glamorizing war. But even though war, the reality of war, does contain horror, war is not, I believe, on the whole, horrifying. It is instead (I suspect) boring. An oppressive and grinding kind of boring, and only punctuated with brief interludes of horror, which only contributes to its oppressiveness. I suspect that it is this aspect which destroys most people who wage war. I suspect that while some/many people do experience the horror of war (which indeed is quite horrible), most people in war do not experience much horror directly. It is instead the boredom; the oppressive, grinding, fearful boredom, which destroys most of them.

Of course, I’m only speculating; I’m not a sociologist or a psychologist.
The hydrogen storage facility at Delta Utah has enough space in the salt formation for 100 caverns, each storing 150 GWh of energy. That's about 30 hours worth (well, maybe less, if that 150 GWh is before conversion to electrical energy, but still this is just one location.)
I dunno actually, do you need to be a lawyer to write a contract? I think anyone can do it, right? You just might screw yourself over by missing an edge case or writing an unenforceable contract.
I think the stuff we eat has a lot more to do with obesity epidemic than "calories in calories out". CICO imbalance is just a symptom of the issue, not the root cause if you think past first order effects. It has been clear for decades.
Those are good points. Still, it’s fairly manageable, after certain adjustments. Also, we’re using the new (Go-based) version of TH that’s both much more performant and validates secrets against endpoints. I suspect their SaaS offering is a bit more polished and turn-key, but even the open-source one is quite decent. It doesn’t swamp us with FPs, at least.

> How can you be sure that anyone other than you is conscious?

That doesn't seem like a more or less difficult question than asking how I can be sure that human neurons are the substrate responsible for producing consciousness. If it turns out that the other humans I observe only seem like they're conscious, then it could also turn out that my neurons only seem to be the substrate producing my consciousness. Of course, this is just terrible epistemology.

If you go to https://model.energy/ and look at the cost of a wind/solar/battery/hydrogen system for producing a cost optimized "synthetic baseload" source (using historical climate data), you will find that a 10x reduction in battery price is not needed to beat nuclear.
Not all taxation is theft. However, taxation taken specifically from one person or group in order to benefit another is theft. Taxation for the purpose of maintaining the military, police, roads, and other necessary public infrastructure is not theft. For example, it is not theft for the Senate to pay for reasonable military salaries. It is theft to levy a 100% tax on billionaires in order to redistribute those funds to all non-billionaires whether in cash, benefits, or other property.

The "benefit of the public" is a better standard than no standard - but is in and of itself insufficient to contain the state to its rightful domain.
Of course they will, but I said “should” not “would” for a reason
"I'm not biased only against Black people, I'm actually biased against anything that is sufficiently non-white" (in this context, since we're talking about a study of conventionally WASP-y vs. black names) is not the slam dunk you think it is. And it's still racist.

> You assume a racist motive in your scenario

No, I don't assume any motive whatsoever. I'm talking only about actions.
I'd argue that now is the time.

The time to spend $1 trillion on renewables to cover 90% of the load and another $1 trillion on reduction such as electrified rail, active transit infrastructure, insulation, and industrial efficiency and another $1 trillion on nuclear + tidal + mmwave geothermal + whatever other technologies work in principle but not in practice.

But if you are going to cut one because we would rather spend it on military it should be the least effective one.
That feels broken. Did you open a support ticket or a GH issue on the documentation page?

Why would it? If one of the NATO member states did something which was radically inconsistent with NATO’s values - such as invade a fellow NATO member, commit genocide, wantonly proliferate nuclear weapons, etc - to fail to expel them would destroy NATO.
I stand corrected on this, but what I’d argue is it’s not an affordable solution for medium-sized companies and non-profits who don’t swim in cash. It could be that our example is unusual (big non-profit), but when we evaluated GG the pricing left a sour taste..

More specifically, none of the paid security products we use cost nearly as much, and those products do much more than just detecting secrets. So from that standpoint, the pricing just seems outrageous. It’s pretty clearly aimed at big enterprises that can afford it and are vulnerable to FUD (while the “hobbyist” pricing is just free advertising). I don’t blame them for finding a way to make big money, but this business model is not what we’d pick.

> We wouldn’t have to replace all our appliances with something slightly more efficient (and less maintainable) every so many years

We are forced into poorly built, unrepairable appliances through a market failure.

Failure of consumers to spread the word about appliance repairability. Fraudulent forgery of consumer reviews by manufacturers.

Failure of the housing market driving the repair technicians out if business - its cheaoer for someone in china to spend 10 hours building new washing machine than for someone in uk to spend 2 hours fixing it.

In some cases, a deliberate subversion of the spare parts market by manufacturers.

There is not a grand plan to improve efficiency and solve clinate change.

Here is what I consider one of the most important political writings I've read to date:

https://www.amacad.org/publication/what-does-it-mean-be-amer...

The short version is that what makes a person their nationality can either be adherence to a set of values (civil society) or that their parents were that nationality (an ethnic society).

China is clearly an ethnic society. America is practically on the verge of civil war over whether they are primarily an ethnic (white christian) society (GOP), or whether they are a civil (rule of law, believes in human rights) society (the very imperfect DNC).

Civil societies aim for everyone to be an "us," while ethnic societies have a strong idea of "us vs them." So when these societies ask "how should resources be distributed?" Ethnic societies tend to believe they are in competition with everyone else for all resources and they should try their best to attain as many resources as possible. This directly results in supremacist leaning beliefs and old world imperialism. Setting up British schools in India and taking all their resources is absolutely a supremacist policy, as is killing native Americans and taking their land. The fact that these softer forms of supremacy are not taught next to the holocaust is a disservice to the average persons intuitive understanding of what supremacy looks like and what kind of spectrum genocide exists along.

Ethnic societies are not governed directly by a set of values, so they tend to be ruled by dominance alone.

So from a jaded point of view America is an empire just as China is an empire, but from a forgiving charitable (extra emphasis on charitable) point of view, a Chinese empire is trying to suck all the resources of earth up in to china, while the American "empire" is trying to establish a set of laws and values that apply to all people (human rights) while trying to address the very real tragedies of the commons we are facing (over fishing, global warming, nuclear annihilation).

The reality though is that ethnic forces in america are strongly at work trying to achieve power, and liberal civil forces in america are extremely weak, so the "liberal world order" can be supplanted by "American supremacy" (America first), and we end up in a state where we look old wold imperialist via neocolonialism.

At the end of the day that means the most important thing for Americans to do is fight the ethnic party, and if we can't do that, then we don't deserve to exert our influence abroad, and should rightly be resisted.
I bet the compute isn't a bottleneck if you do it right. Each time you're dreaming, you're executing something like stable diffusion for video (and much more), running at about 20 watts. It seems it was mostly trained throughout your life at about 20 watts as well.

Humans are SOTA in most of AI applications if your value functions penalize work. Nature always trains models in ways that penalize work. Nature abhors compute more than memory or exogenous data, because it has comparatively large linear contribution to the work done across time.

Consider a simple problem like computing n-th step of Conway's Game of Life.
A naive algorithm, conceived probably right after the GoL's discovery in 1970,
calculates the n-th step in O(n). If we considered the problem to be something as challenging as video syntesis is to us today, we would've probably label it
as solved by then. It would scale arguably much better than today's video
synthesis. (I can't describe what it means to generate video twice as good,
but it surely requires more than twice as much compute with our best
algorithms).
In the early 80s Bill Gosper discovered the Hashlife algorithm,
which computes n-th step of GoL in O(log n). It's bounded mostly by memory and
endogenous data, which depend on the complexity of patterns it simulates. The
data it generates can be used to speed up arbitrary simulations of GoL without
being modified. Hashlife allows mediocre hardware to compute stuff which we
wouldn't be able to compute with the naive algorithm even if we turned the whole
observable universe into computronium.
To me it sounds similar to the comparison between $10^8 models and our daily 20W
lifes.

I think AGIs and AIs that will arise as specializations of AGIs will be mostly
memory limited, and the vast majority of their datasets would be endogenous.
Humans whose sensory bandwidth (and hence the volume of external dataset) is
severely limited as a result of disabilities, can still bextremely intelligent in a
general way. Humans as SOTA examples of general intelligence find it rewarding
to generalize what they learn. I understand it as being rewarded for solving
dissimilar problems using similar policies. To maximize such reward it's
beneficial to synthesize not only policies, but also environments and problems
within them. It seems to me that people mostly talk about (often recursive)
generalizations of stuff they experienced by senses.

I believe superintelligent AI, shaped by the natural constraints would sooner or
later take form in which the human spirit would thrive - a form
indistinguishable from nature. I doubt the human spirit would survive the shitty,
high compute superintelligence and the brief power surge it would give its
temporary overlords.

Same here. The difference isn't significant enough for my eyes to latch onto.

If I had to come up with short readable function names, I would still use whole words, but would 1) cut the number of words down to the bare minimum 2) make each name as unique as practically possible.
I sympathize with the persistent UX issues with web-based voxel engines. I think what is really needed is a UI/UX expert (unfortunately not me) willing to push forward and drive fixes across the entire stack: the game engine, Emscripten, and even investigating and submitting fixes/enhancements to web browsers - owning the complete experience.

For what it's worth, when porting NetCraft I did make an effort to isolate, fix and upstream various UX fixes to Emscripten:

https://github.com/satoshinm/emglfwbugs

with _some_ success; the developers of Emscripten are happy to accept pull requests. But I agree there's a lot of papercuts, and tracking down each of the usability nits could essentially be a full-time job...

For the keybinding problem, I've found using backquote/tilde key for escape can sufficiently workaround the un-interceptable escape key. It also works well on mobile browsers without escape keys.

But the problems with multi-gigabyte world storage, multi-threaded networking, SharedArrayBuffer, may require more invasive architectural changes. At this point, maybe a rewrite focused on web support from the beginning would easier than a port? But _a lot_ of work was put into Minetest over the years, it is great having the library of mods already developed for Minetest, available on the web. Although the same could be said for Minecraft itself.

In any case, thank you for your work porting Minetest to the web. I appreciate it moving the needle in the "web-based Minecraft clone" niche. Even if it may not the be all to end all, hopefully the UX blockers can be resolved, fit and finish, if not in Minetest itself maybe it will inspire others to create something anew with lessons learned from your port. One step closer to the metaverse.

Instead of scaling therapy/drugs up, maybe we improve community instead. Humans often just need to vent and otherwise connect with each other. OTOH, work is often considered a dangerous place to do that and we spend most (or at least a significant portion) of our waking lives there. This means we need to build community outside of work. Among other things, that in turn negates at least one of long commutes or long hours.
It's useful to distinguish between them, though. Apps are almost always first party software that only does what's officially supported. Browsers have a long history of customizability, extensibility, programmability, adversarial interoperability.

What if instead of browsers and ad blockers we had an extensive collection of web scrapers for every web site out there?
